News: Coast Guard rescues three from San Mateo cliff
Story by Petty Officer 2nd Class Barry Bena
SAN FRANCISCO - A Coast Guard helicopter rescue crew from Air Station San Francisco rescued three injured persons from a car that traveled off the side of a cliff near San Mateo, Calif., early Thursday morning.
At approximately 12:30 a.m., a vehicle carrying four passengers veered off the road and down a cliff near state Highway 92 in San Mateo. One of the passengers was able to climb the cliff and call for help.
Local first responders arrived on scene, but due to the location of the vehicle almost 150 feet off the cliff, requested Coast Guard assistance.
The Coast Guard rescue crew was launched. Once on scene, they began hoisting the passengers. Due to low fuel, the helicopter aircrew returned to the air station with one passenger, refueled and quickly returned for the remaining two people.
The remaining passengers were taken to Air Station San Francisco in stable condition and delivered to waiting EMS personnel.

Donovan to get a new deal
The Los Angeles Galaxy has scheduled a news conference Wednesday to announce it has reached agreement with forward Landon Donovan on a multiyear contract that probably will keep him in Major League Soccer for the rest of his career, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Donovan, 31, reportedly had offers from teams in Europe and Latin America.

Most Read Stories
Terms of Donovan's new contract were not disclosed. The Los Angeles Times reported his existing four-year, $10 million deal with the Galaxy is to expire in the fall.
Donovan has four goals over his last three matches for the Galaxy, which won the MLS title in each of the past two years.
Donovan, a 13-time All-Star, has scored 131 regular-season MLS goals — third on the all-time list behind Jeff Cunningham (134) and Jaime Moreno (133).
Cunningham's most recent MLS goal was for Columbus in 2011 and Moreno's most recent score was for D.C. United in 2010.
Arsenal extends streak

Pippen won't be charged
Ex-Chicago Bulls standout Scottie Pippen won't face criminal charges after a fight with an autograph seeker outside a Malibu, Calif., restaurant June 24, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence against Pippen, who was dining with his family when he was approached by Camran Shafighi inside Nobu restaurant. Prosecutors said Shafighi had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving and contend he exaggerated injuries that were deemed minor.
Pippen reportedly allowed Shafighi to take his photo inside Nobu but didn't pose. Authorities said Shafighi followed Pippen into the parking lot and asked again for a photo plus an autograph from Pippen, who declined.
Pippen told investigators Shafighi was irate, "grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit in his face," according to a report by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Pippen admitted he spit at Shafighi and pushed him away, but it is unclear whether Pippen was the aggressor or acting in self-defense, based on witness accounts.
"This shakedown artist was drunk, screaming racial slurs, and assaulted my client and his family," said Pippen's attorney, Mark Geragos.
Shafighi, 49, reportedly was unconscious after Pippen allegedly punched him in the mouth and kicked him several times. He has filed a $4 million lawsuit against Hall of Famer Pippen, 47.
Pippen works as a special adviser to Michael Reinsdorf, the Bulls' president and chief operating officer.
Auto racing
Haas welcomes Busch
Kurt Busch, the 2004 NASCAR champion, was introduced as the newest driver at Stewart-Haas Racing at a news conference.
As was widely reported Monday, Busch will leave the Furniture Row Racing team to drive for SHR starting with the 2014 season.
SHR will have four cars in the top-level Sprint Cup Series next year, with Busch joining Tony Stewart, Danica Patrick and Kevin Harvick.
Gene Haas pursued Busch while co-owner Stewart, a three-time NASCAR champion, was recovering from a season-ending leg injury.
"I don't think Tony was exactly enthralled with what I did," Haas said at the news conference. "But I think he saw it my way, you know? Either that or get out of the building."
Haas, whose machine-tool manufacturing company is Haas Automation, will sponsor Busch himself. Haas said getting his name on a car was his primary motivation in adding Busch.
"It was an opportunity for Haas Automation to be a primary sponsor," Haas said. "This is going to be my shot at being a primary sponsor, going to the Daytona 500, the Brickyard as the primary sponsor.
"Haas Automation has never been in the winner's circle, and I'm sure that's going to change next year. So that's my primary reason for basically pushing this expansion. It has been met with a little bit of resistance."
• Spaniard Daniel Moreno of the Katusha cycling team won the fourth stage of the Spanish Vuelta and Italian Vincenzo Nibali of the Astana team overtook 41-year-old American Christopher Horner for the overall lead.
Moreno covered 117 miles from Lalin to Fisterra in 4 hours, 37 minutes, 47 seconds.
Giro d'Italia winner Nibali has a three-second lead over RadioShack-Leopard rider Horner. Horner entered the stage with a three-second lead over Nibali.

Forget endless statistics and health warnings: during Sun Awareness Week, it only took one mother, Patricia Krentcil, to remind us of the dangers of sun worship.
After her five-year-old daughter arrived at school with rash and sun run having gone 'tanning with mommy' the 44-year-old New Jersey mother was arrested and charged with child endangerment, reported the BBC.
Patricia Krentcil denies allowing her child into a tanning booth with her - yet one look at her worryingly, over-brown face makes it easy to believe her relationship with UV rays is less than healthy.
Yinka Ebo, Cancer Research UK's senior health information manager, says: "Sunbeds are not a safe way to tan. Some of the UV rays emitted by sunbeds can be 10-15 times higher than those from the midday sun and every time you use a sunbed you are damaging your skin."
Far from improving your looks, Ebo points out, the radiation given off by sunbeds leads to premature ageing - making skin look wrinkled, leathery and old - and can damage the DNA in skin cells.
"Over time this damage can build up and may lead to malignant melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Using sunbeds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing malignant melanoma by 75%."
In 2010 in the UK, 2,749 people in the UK died from skin cancer.
It also is illegal for individuals under the age of 18 to use a sunbed, thanks to successful campaigning by Cancer Research UK for tighter legislation."
As leading make-up artist Lisa Stokes (who's worked with celebrities including Kate Moss, Gemma Arterton and Myleene Klass), points out, tanning has only been popular in the western world since the late Sixties, early Seventies.
"The likes of Sophia Loren made it fashionable. Prior to this people used to lighten their skin with cosmetics. In the Forties and Fifties pale was chic."
Stokes adds: "I think women feel a tan will cover their flaws, stops them from looking washed out, even makes them look and feel more slender. There's a celebrity factor, with young girls trying to look like super-tanned reality stars from TOWIE, or sun kissed models such as Gisele."
Stokes has noticed more of her clients will compromise their health in order to achieve the perfect look, indulging in fad diets, botox and chemical peels.

However, many women have also woken up to the fact that overexposure to the sun can be extremely damaging to the skin, says Stokes.
"Most of my clients these days slap on the sunscreen and opt for a really good spray tan instead. There are so many great ones available now and it's a much safer option," she says.
A recent survey carried out by the British Association of Dermatologists found that 71% of respondents thought individuals looked healthier with a suntan. Yet, 83% also agreed the risks of skin cancer were not exaggerated.
As Deborah Mason, spokesperson for the British Association of Dermatologists, points out: "People are still putting themselves at risk to acquire a tan under the misapprehension that it makes them look healthier, when in reality a suntan is actually a sign that our skin is already harmed by UV radiation and trying to defend itself against further harm."
Sadly, we've had more cloud than sun this year- but that doesn't mean our skin is completely safe.
"A significant amount of UV rays (up to 40%) can still get through even when it is completely overcast. For example, if half the sky is covered in clouds, 80% of UV will still shine through," says Mason.
The organisation has recently launched a World UV App in conjunction with the Met Office – the app tells you the predicted peak UV for your location and what this means for your skin type.
Aspirin may protect women from the most dangerous form of skin cancer, research has shown. The longer a woman takes the painkiller, the lower the risk of melanoma, scientists discovered. Read more here.
Taking daily vitamin A supplements could protect against deadly melanoma skin cancer, scientists claim. According to researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research, a compound found in vitamin A, (Retinol), is vital for protecting against skin cancer. Read the full story here.
A twice-daily skin cancer drug almost doubles the survival times of advanced cancer patients, American scientists have discovered. Researchers from the Jonsson Cancer Center at the University of California, found that advanced melanoma cancer sufferers lived on average of 16 months after receiving the vemurafenib drug. Read the full story here.
Italian scientists have discovered a new, non-surgical skin cancer treatment using radioactive 'paint' which could save up to 3,000 lives a year - and can be done in as little as two hours. Read the full story here.
A cancer charity has warned that four in 10 young people under the age of 25 are being 'encouraged' to use sunbeds by their friends. The Cancer Research UK discovered that 26% of 18 to 24-year olds have been given the push to use sunbeds by friends or a family member when using it for the first time. Read the full story here.
A tablet costing a mere five pence a day could be the key to stopping deadly cancer tumours developing, recent research published in the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention has found. Scientists from Ohio State University and Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark looked at the records of 4,000 people battling severe forms of cancer. Read the full story here.
Scientists have said an "encouraging" discovery has been made in the fight against the most dangerous form of skin cancer. A team from the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow said it has proved that a specific gene, P-Rex1, must be present before malignant melanoma can spread in a patient. Read the full story here.
Millions of women are putting their lives at risk because of a mistaken belief that a spray tan will protect them from the sun's harmful rays. One in six women believe that fake tan acts like a sunscreen while nearly half think their foundation and make-up provides them with UV protection. Read the full story here.

If you wanted to identify one spot where British rock began, you might well choose the building at #1 Kew Road in Richmond, right across from the Richmond train and subway station.
In 1963, it was the Richmond Station Hotel, but around back was an entrance into a club known as The Crawdaddy Club, named after a Bo Diddley song, "Doing the Craw-Daddy."
This is where the Rolling Stones first began, playing ever Sunday night. Soon their popularity grew and crowds spilled out into the streets. And even the reigning kings of British rock, The Beatles, who already had a number 1 hit on British radio at this point (Love Me Do), came down to check them out, the night of April 14, 1963.
The individual Rolling Stones remember being intimidated by the presence of The Beatles, but equally impressed by their look. All four Beatles were dressed in long leather coats they'd bought during their time in Hamburg. Mick Jagger says that that was the moment he knew he wanted to be a rock star.
After, the Stones and Beatles met and headed back to an apartment shared by Mick, Keith, and Brian Jones, and a mutually influential friendship began.
The popularity of the Stones at the Crawdaddy Club forced it to relocate to a bigger space, and the Stones moved on to bigger things, to be replaced by another rising band, The Yardbirds, featuring lead guitarist Eric Clapton.
Today, the original location of the Richmond Hotel at #1 Kew Road is occupied by a pub called The Bull.

Q & A with Emmy finalist David Brooks
Q & A with David Brooks
David Brooks is a photographer for the San Diego Union-Tribune specializing in video and multimedia. His work ranges from news, to features, sports and entertainment. His piece titled "Working the Magic" was nominated for a 2011 regional Emmy Award in the category of Arts/Entertainment- Single Story or Series.
Question: How did you become a photojournalist and begin to work with video? What kind of training and experience did you have to have to do this kind of work?
A: I studied visual journalism at the Brooks Institute of Photography. The courses centered on photojournalism but also included in-depth courses on video, editing, the art of interviewing and lighting. I have been on staff at the San Diego Union-Tribune for 5 years.
Q: Talk about how this story came about? Was this an assignment that you were given or was it your idea?
A: I went to a theater that I knew regularly produced plays, looking for a standalone still photo for the paper. I asked around and was guided to a Junior Theater rehearsal for "Fame." The kids were dancing and singing and it made for a fun picture. I thought this deserved more than just a single. Before leaving, I asked the director if I could come back and shoot video and follow the kids from rehearsal to opening night. I visited the players a few days a week for about a month on my own time and between assignments. Sometimes I would just hang out, shoot a little B Roll and talk with the kids. Eventually I figured out which kids I wanted to interview.
Q: What did you want to accomplish with this piece?
A: As far as my intent and focus, I simply wanted to tell a story about a group of people that were committed to what they do. For these kids, theater is their varsity sport and they are a team pushed to perfection by the joy of creating something beautiful.
Q: The lighting in all of this is really good and full of color, how did you do that?
A: In a way I feel like I was cheating. Shooting a play in a theater, even behind the scenes, raises the odds of good lighting. I white-balanced the camera to the fluorescent lights back stage and positioned my interviewees in front of the onstage lights that were in the wings, so that when they were doing their lighting checks, the lights would shine into the camera. I love the look of lens flare in video, love it.
Q: You interviewed a lot of people. How did you determine who to interview and what to talk about?
A: After a few trips to the theater and watching the players with each other and casually talking to them, I had a good idea who would be good in an interview setting. The best interviews were the first and final interview.
Q: How did you decide what parts of the performance to shoot?
A: Once I had an idea of who I would interview, I then focused on that person on stage and backstage to make sure I had B-Roll of them. In a sense it was actually easy following the kids because their activities were scheduled, so then for the most part I could follow one kid without really missing anything of the others.
Q: Talk a little about the storytelling philosophy that you have when you work on something like this. Did you have to gain special permission or access?
A: I don't have a philosophy but for me the process is dictated by what I have captured and more importantly the quality of the answers in my interviews. Editing is like a puzzle but with pieces that change shape and size and don't always fit together. As far as access is concerned, especially when dealing with minors, make sure you have the blessing of those in-charge.

Declining Grassland Birds

Native grasslands represent the largest vegetative province of North America. Almost 1.5 million km2 (0.6 million mi2) of grasslands historically occurred on the Great Plains. Although the Great Plains played a major role in the evolution of North American forest birds (Mengel 1970), the grassland avifauna itself is relatively poor with only 5% of all North American bird species believed to have evolved within the Great Plains. That group included 12 species of birds that are considered endemic (i.e., evolved specifically within) to the grasslands, along with 20 others that have centers of evolution on the grasslands but range more widely into contiguous vegetative provinces.

Building a fixie with an old Norco frame with Tange 900 double-butted tubing.
The bike was made for 27 inch wheels, but I was planning on spreading the mounts to fit 700C's.
The fork weighs a damn ton and am hoping to replace it, but two things concern me:
1. It is one of the curved style forks common on old road bikes, in considering a new fork should I look for one that is the same style, or does that affect the bike?
2. Can I make use of a 700C fork without real detriment to the ride-ability of the bike? I'm worried that an alteration in the size of the fork will offset angle with the rear wheel.
If I'm going with a new fork, I may or may not switch the headset to threadless. It is a 1 inch steer tube... so given that... should I switchover to threadless... or just get a lighter quill stem and threaded fork?
Thanks for any help/advice you can give!

I cannot always spare (at the last minute) two or three dozen wine glasses on a busy Saturday night and/or find the time to wash, buff and properly cool glasses in time for your impromptu wine service sequencing. We of course have extra glasses in house, neatly boxed and smelling of cardboard when stored for a while, but I'd gouge out my eyeballs with a grapefruit spoon before sending those glasses out onto the floor before washing them. So please do bring lots of exciting bottles from your cellar but please call ahead: it will make your evening and service that much more special.
Re: read the label.
Dear Server: The foolproof way to know whether you've grabbed the right bottle of wine off the wine rack (that is, if I'm not here) is to read the label. Producer, check; appellation, check; vintage, check; other tidbits such as premier/grand cru, cuvée/vineyard, white/red/rose, check, check, check. So many things can go wrong during the course of service but picking the wrong bottle for the guest ain't gonna be one of them.
Linda Milagros Violago, Itinerant Sommelier. I think my biggest pet peeve is people not doing their homework. This sometimes refers to staff members who have not bothered to pay attention during staff briefings or training sessions and cannot describe a wine by the glass (or dish). It's our collective responsibility as members of the service staff to have this basic knowledge: we represent the restaurant. Knowledge is easily accessible–no more lugging around heavy books, and Internet access is everywhere–so there should be no excuse.
That said, my biggest pet peeve is directed at the wine sales reps. I have a hard time when I ask a question about the wine that they are trying to sell me and they cannot answer it or, worse, they parrot what they read on a tech sheet. Quoting awards or points definitely doesn't get one anywhere. All of that just indicates to me that they have no knowledge about, or relationship with, the wine, winery and winemaker. If guests expect the service staff to have that knowledge, I certainly expect it from the person who presents it to me. Even more annoying to me is when reps don't do their homework regarding the wine list, the restaurant, the chef and the menu. Have a look at the wine list and menu before trying to figure out what to pitch. A good rep can see a pattern and suggest wine accordingly. Related to that, if the wine buyer gives specific criteria as to what he or she is looking for (e.g., "organic") and the wine being pitched isn't "organic," then it's a waste of time and wine. Even if it gets tasted, it's not what the buyer was looking for and won't make it onto the list. All of these things add up to meaning that the buyer likely won't grant a second meeting any time soon and will likely not buy any wine.
Christopher P. Bates, M.S., GM/Executive Chef, Hotel Fauchere (Milford, PA). For me the most annoying thing is the guarded price point consumer. The most helpful thing when working the floor is knowing what price range someone is comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with being at any particular target price, but if we don't know it we can't help. Whether you want to spend $35 or $3,000 I want to make sure you get a bottle of delicious wine that you enjoy and at a price you're comfortable spending. There's no need for me to be recommending Burgundy if you want a $30 bottle, and if you want a $3,000 bottle I don't need to be thinking about Muscadet. So please, just tell us what you'd like to spend. There's no bias against budgets–it's just easier to know what they are so we can work within them and make you happy.

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

Hmm. "_enum" has possibilities.
How about using a * in the name, to represent where the match is? E.G., btl_usnic_*_enum?
It's a string, so it's not just limited to letters and underscores.

This is a good point; we got a similar piece of feedback from the MPI tools group.
How about naming the state variable "<framework>_<component>"? And then that will apply to all "<framework>_<component>*" pvars.
Hmm... not sure how that jives with "principle of least astonishment".
Other than that "_SOMETHING" == "" seems like a solution that totally avoids the problems associated with words like "device" (which might imply something about h/w architecture) or "instance" (with potential implications regarding s/w architecture).
So, on balance: +0.9 (my other 0.1 goes to "_enum" for "principle of least astonishment".)

New remix of Chelsea Wolfe's "Flatlands".
We previously shared Lust for Youth's remix of the Chelsea Wolfe track, "Flatlands". While that remix was pumped up with synths, a new remix from Roman Aeon brings out the song's darker side. Not intended for the club, just the dark confines of an empty room. Listen to it below.
Chelsea Wolfe teamed up with Converse to share her haunting video for "Flatlands". The song is taken from Wolfe's acoustic album Unknown Rooms (Sargent House). The video features the gothic princess in a bathtub, so you pervs may want to watch for that reason. Check it out below.

I didn't care how many tweets I saw claiming that James Franklin was going to be the next head coach at Penn State. Until word leaked out last Friday night that Franklin was going to address his team Saturday morning and then fly to State College for his introductory presser, I wasn't sold that Al Golden wouldn't be the next coach at Penn State. It was very simple to me: Why would Al Golden turn down a raise of nearly a reported $2.5 million? Sure Penn State wouldn't be in a bowl game for another two years, and sure they still had the Sandusky scandal hanging over their heads, and Al has dealt with scandal for the last three years. I get all that. But my thinking was, it's his alma mater, it's where his wife is from, it's where he met his wife, and he seems to be more comfortable recruiting the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York areas than South Florida. Penn State is the perfect job for Al Golden. Of course he'd have to have been offered that job to take it, and it looks like he wasn't. That seems odd to me.
Now there are many reasons why Penn State may not have offered Al the job. Maybe they purposely didn't want someone that had a connection to the Joe Paterno regime. Maybe they didn't want a Penn State insider. Maybe they wanted a coach that is more offensive minded than defensive minded. Or maybe they just didn't want Al, because they didn't want him. We'll most likely never know, and it's probably prudent to tread lightly in an area where you don't have facts, so we'll just leave it at that.
So Al is our's, again, for now. And somehow I get the feeling that a lot of you reading this aren't happy about that. Man we can flip in a moment. Just a few months ago, Al Golden would have won a popularity contest in this town, if Eric Spoelstra weren't included of course. It's amazing what just a few months, or even weeks can do to public opinion. One thing is for sure, for the majority of people, Al's decision to not make any coaching changes didn't help his cause in the court of public opinion. By the way, Al doesn't care about the court of public opinion. Must we forget that in many ways, he tries to emulate the Parcells-Belichick ways of doing things. I need to keep reminding myself of that every time I'm told he's not available for interviews, which is becoming more often these days.
Look, it took cojones for Al to stand pat with his staff. While my general principle is that consistency leads to winning, there are times when something that is consistently bad leads to losing. I give you Randy Shannon. Al went on the offensive with a pile of stats greater than pages in "War and Peace." Good move. Quantify success. Of course the guys at Sebastian's Pub ( READ HERE) pretty much debunked Al's quantitative analysis by coming to the conclusion that the defense has gotten worse when it mattered.
Look maybe next year it all comes together on defense. Maybe the players finally catch up to the scheme. Maybe the coaches, who, I've heard, have had some problems getting their points across, on that side of the football, will be able to get through. Al better hope so. By not making any changes, it will be a lot harder to explain poor defensive execution next year with the same staff intact.
We're certainly at a crossroads of the Al Golden tenure. The Nevin-Gate mess is behind him. There are no more excuses. Up until this point Al has been able to talk about "The Process" and "Eight Pillars" and "Deserve Victory" and the rest of it with most of us buying in like it's the Saturday or Sunday gospel. But just as skeptics look for signs of a higher power's existence, Canes fans are ready to see the fruits of that process. ESPN personality, and my colleague at The Ticket, Dan Le Batard always says that Al "gives great coach." And Dan is exactly right. Al wins the press conference. He wins the radio interview. He probably wins the locker room speech and meeting room discussion. But in the end, none of that really matters. Can he win football games? Al has made some tough decisions lately. He's chosen to stay at Miami. He's chosen to keep his best friend, and every other coach, on the staff. He's also chosen to accept responsibility for everything that happens in the program. With all of that being the case, Al, next season, all eyes are on you bud. You continue to say not to move the bar, or lower the expectations. Guess what? We haven't.

A government procurement department's job may seem simple in theory - buy the goods and services a jurisdiction needs - but anyone involved in the process knows it's much more complicated. When employees must repeatedly input duplicative information for each purchase, the task becomes laborious and error-prone.
St. Petersburg, Fla., dealt with that challenge in the Purchasing and Materials Management department, the city's office for buying supplies, services and construction. Department employees felt that procurement methods could be made more efficient.
"We had a purchasing system, and it would process your requisitions and create purchase orders. But then to pay for those products, you had to manually enter the same purchase orders into the finance system because the two did not talk to each other," said Christine West, the city's Oracle e-business solutions manager.
That method left the process vulnerable to human error. Someone could accidentally type information into the finance system differently than it had been typed into the purchasing system. "There was no integration to be able to reconcile the two systems," West said.
St. Petersburg wanted to eliminate paper processes and the errors that came with them, improve employees' ability to analyze department activity and streamline the requisition process. In 2005, West and her colleagues achieved these goals by automating purchasing procedures with Oracle Advanced Procurement, an applications suite.

12 Myths About Insulin and Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin injections hurt
"This is absolutely false," says Dr. Crandall. "With the small fine needles we have today, insulin injections are close to painless, if not painless."
In fact, most people would say that the finger pricks used to measure blood glucose levels hurt more than insulin injections.
"When people get their first injection, they often say, 'I can't believe it didn't hurt,'" says Dr. Crandall. What's more, you may not need to use syringes at all.
There are injector pens on the market that allow you to dial the dose of insulin, snap on a tiny needle, and inject painlessly. Really.

The San Antonio Spurs own a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals rolling to a 113-77 rout of the Miami Heat. The Spurs set a finals record by hitting 16 three-pointers, with Danny Green hitting seven from beyond the arc and finishing with 27 points. Gary Neal contributed six treys and 24 points while San Antonio limited LeBron James to 15 points on 7-21 shooting.
Ian Kennedy hit Yasiel Puig and Zack Greinke with high pitches, sparking a heated brawl that involved players and coaches and resulted in six ejections in a game in which the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 last night. Kennedy, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson and coach Turner Ward, along with Puig, reliever Ronald Belisario and Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire were ejected in the seventh inning after the prolonged scuffle that nearly spilled into the stands.
Jozy Altidore continued his scoring blitz with a goal in his third straight match, Eddie Johnson thrilled his home club fans with a goal in the 53rd minute, and the United States took over first place in its World Cup qualifying group with a 2-0 win over Panama yesterday. Altidore scored in the 36th minute on a perfect cross from Fabian Johnson, moments after a potential penalty kick for the Americans was denied. Eddie Johnson then gave the U.S. some cushion when he collected Geoff Cameron's pass over the top of Panama's defense and slid a left-footed shot past Jaime Penedo less than ten minutes into the second half. The U.S. holds a two-point lead over Costa Rica and Mexico in the qualifying group in the ten-game final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region. They will host Honduras next Tuesday night in Sandy, Utah.

The Omaha World Herald & Lincoln Journal Star reports that Farmer played high school football for Highland High School in Illinois, which finished 5-5 in Class 5A. He played both ways as a left tackle and an interior defensive tackle. On defense, Farmer was counted on to eat up double teams. He also had offers from Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois State, and Western Michigan. Farmer will likely play offensive guard or center.

The Plus anniversary year — A word from the editors
League tables are controversial and for good reason. Few things are simple enough to be measured by a single outcome like, for example, the number of exam passes or successful heart operations. But even if we do accept a single yardstick, we haven't yet reckoned with chance, which by itself can produce apparent patterns to delight any tabloid editor.
How does complexity arise from simplicity?
Plus 1000 — Mathematical lives
Former Plus editor Helen Joyce explains how Plus made it big as a part of our series to celebrate Plus's tenth anniversary.

In 1538 Sir Thomas Wriothesley (who became the 1st Earl of Southampton) paid a little over £1300 for the 8,000 acre estate at Beaulieu. During monastic times the 'Great Gatehouse' was the place where the abbot received guests, and it was this building that the Earl converted to create the first manor house, known as Palace House.
Few details are known regarding the early history of the house but it would appear that it never became a family residence, its use limited to entertaining hunting parties. When the line of male heirs came to an end in 1667, the first association with the Montagu family was established through marriage. By the close of the 18th century the estate had passed to the Scotts (Dukes of Buccleuch), but Beaulieu Palace House never became a home until 1867. Lord Henry Scott was largely responsible for the major rebuilding work that created the stately home as seen today, taking four years to extend, remodel, and modernise the medieval monastic gatehouse.
This wonderful Victorian Gothic home was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield, who managed to combine all the latest comforts of the time almost seamlessly with many of the monastic remains. Fan-vaulted ceilings, moulded archways, enormous traceried windows, and stained glass give Beaulieu Palace House an immortal connection to the Cistercian Abbey that once thrived in these grounds. Externally, it represents an eye-catching arrangement of towers, turrets, chimneys, battlemented features and decorative brickwork.
Lord Montagu and his family still live at Beaulieu Palace House, but in a private apartment in the Victorian wing of the house. All the historic rooms of the house are accessible to visitors, all delightfully furnished, and displaying many of the family treasures and ancestral portraits. This is a real family day out with something for everyone. A splendid house to investigate, beautiful grounds, evocative ruins of the medieval monastery and, of course, the home of the National Motor Museum. Set in the heart of the New Forest, with the Bealieu River running across the estate, the location is idyllic.

KAZAN, Russia – Washington State University rising-sophomore rower, Ieva Adomaviciute, finished seventh in the women's single sculls at the 2013 World University Games while representing Lithuania last week.
A native of Kaunas, Lithuania, Adomaviciute joined the Cougars beginning with the 2013 spring semester. In May she was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year, and in June she was named to the 2013 Pocock All-America First Team, becoming just the fourth Cougar to earn the honors.
Adomaviciute placed fourth in heat one on the first day of competition with a time of 8:20.47, moving on to the Repechage. In the Repechage, Adomaviciute just missed moving on to the Final A, placing third of six with a time of 9:20.24, 20 seconds ahead of Virginia Rivas Diaz of Spain in fourth place with a time of 9:40.76. In the Final B July 7, Adomaviciute placed first with a time of 8:19.40, nearly 15 seconds ahead of Rivas Diaz once again, for seventh place overall. Nataliia Dovgodko of Ukraine placed first overall for the gold medal, followed by Jitka Antosova of Czech Republic with the silver and Eiza Gulbe of Latvia in third for the bronze.

Microsoft Product?
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: Key travel and feedback are good, ample of short cut keys backed by switch, comfortable wrist rest, split space bar requires less activation force, long battery life based on constant use over a year on single set of battery and still going. switch is good for making key temporarily permanent but took some getting used-to.
Cons: Labels of left hand keys are mostly gone by after 1 year usage; past 6+ MS keyboards never had this issue after multiple years usage; is this new trend going forward? I do not need key labels but see this as indicator of downhill quality trend and will be skeptical buying future MS products.
Other Thoughts: Apparently MS has stopped marketing/selling this product, so I hope it saw the quality shortcoming and take more meaningful steps to release future products of better quality to better deserve the MS label they carry.

Doesn't Work with Ergonomic Mouse
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: This keyboard is extremely comfortable. It's probably the first time I've enjoyed typing in years. I actually use the stand and prop it up and it's wonderfully comfortable
Cons: I didn't like the "Comfort" mouse and I wanted the ergonomic mouse. They can't use the same receiver and you're forced to use 2 USB ports.
Other Thoughts: It's worth the minor annoyance of using 2 USB to have exactly what I want on my desk. I just wanted other people to know before buying.

Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: Wireless! Reasonably priced. Padded wrist rest! Shipping time was as stated, fast and low priced. Nicely laid out key configuration. Windows 8 shortcut keys. Long battery life.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: This keyboard to me is very nice for the price I paid. It's wireless which is convenient and has a padded wrist rest which can be detached if wanted. To me it's one of the better keyboards I've owned. Battery life is good.

The Nearly Perfect Keyboard
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: 1. The keys feel great, having the perfect snap to them!
Cons: 1. Windows 7 issues. I had extreme problems installing Windows 7 with this keyboard attached, and for months had no idea that the keyboard was the culprit. Once I figured it out, simply removing the keyboard dongle during installation solve the problem. Yet I still have Windows 7 issues, especially with Internet Explorer, and I suspect the keyboard is still causing issues because my computer ran flawlessly until I added this keyboard. Having said that, I love this keyboard so much that I am willing to put up with quite a few problems in order to keep using it. I find it very strange that a Microsoft Keyboard would have issues in a Microsoft OS. This problem is why I cannot give this keyboard 5 stars.
Other Thoughts: THE TRADEOFFS

Just got this keyboard
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: The keys have a nice soft feel to them and the keyboard is quieter than I expected. It seems to me that the buttons are closer together than what I normally type on, just any old computer keyboard, but once I get used to it I guess the less my fingers travel the faster I may be able to type. The palmrest is removable and comes with batteries.
Cons: The key layout is a bit odd. Insert is shifted up to be on the same key as Print Screen to make room for an extra large delete key, and Pause/Break is missing entirely... I guess to make room for a Calculator button, why this button couldn't also operate as Pause is beyond me because all the other Function buttons (F1 through F12) have alternative uses, like you would find on a laptop keyboard - Minus one star.
Other Thoughts: Overall I'm happy with the keyboard but it's shortcomings bothered me enough that I removed two stars. Maybe you won't mind the missing Pause/Break key and will come with two good batteries.

I love it
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: I like the button feel, battery life is fantastic, supporting palm rests allow me to type all day, hybrid between standard and full ergonomic keyboard is fantastic
Cons: second backspace bar is useless if you're too used to the regular backspace bar. This isn't really a con since it doesn't diminish the keyboard's usefulness to me.
Other Thoughts: I send between 40-100 e-mails a day from work and this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. The subtle ergonomic design is perfect for me since I don't like standard keyboards, and I like, but find with my smaller hand size (usually a medium in gloves) that traditional ergo keyboards are just a little too much. I'm still running on the first batteries for this keyboard and it's been used every work day 8-14 hours a day for close to a year now. If this keyboard broke today, I would order another with 1 day shipping I love this keyboard so much.

This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: Comfortable layout, keys have the right amount of give, the wrist rest is comfortable.
Cons: This keyboard has 5 hidden screws (4 under the feet, 1 under the product information sticker) making it difficult to take apart and clean. Some of the keys did not work after putting it back together, despite being very careful taking it apart.
Other Thoughts: I've used Microsoft keyboards for at least the last 10-12 years and they have always been very good. As I type this from a Logitech keyboard, the keys are stiff, making finger fatigue approach swiftly, it makes me miss my broken Microsoft keyboard. Will be buying this one again and can't wait for it to arrive!

Excellent when on sale
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: Clean simple, design. Wireless. Ergonomic. Easy to install and use. Pretty much defines "standard keyboard" but on the higher scale. A solid product, for what it is.
Cons: Nothing to indicate the status caps lock or num lock.
Other Thoughts: I bought three of these on sale for ~$22 each; one for myself and one for each of my parents. All three of us felt that the lack of caps lock/num lock indicators was a buzzkill. The design may not feel comfortable for those with larger hands. Regardless, these were excellent keyboards for the sale price, despite not being quite what I expected.

Great wireless Keyboard
This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: This is a great wireless keyboard. No cords in the way. The layout is very ergonomic. I love the pad that my palm can rest. I brought 2 of these keyboards. One for me and another for my wife. we both love it. I think I want to buy an extra for my smart TV.
Cons: No cons so far.
Other Thoughts: It would be nice that one USB adapter would control both my mouse and this keyboard

This review is from: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard for Business
Pros: Solid. Well made. Great key stroke feel.
Cons: Came in a plain cardboard box. (not really a con)
Other Thoughts: My wife is a writer and she has really enjoyed this keyboard. We would recommend this keyboard and would buy again.

Toddlers love settings that are built to their scale. Step 2's new Wonder House comes with a red half door to enter the small playspace. What's unique about this house is the ball drop design. The game play is to toss the balls onto the green roof of the house. They then trickle down the upright tubes on the corners and then down into the base. We wish it went together with greater ease (the holes for the screws are not pre-punched so you really need a drill to do this properly). Our families also commented that this is small and scale so better for smaller toddlers and preschoolers.

Young children LOVE having spaces that are scaled to their size. Fans of Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar will especially enjoy this small pop up tent (42" high) that's just right for pretend play, being cozy, reading a book, etc. The tent is made with washable nylon that features art from the best-selling book. We paired it with the company's Tunnel ($49) for added active play! Our parent testers liked that there was a mesh see-through window so that they could peek in from above--and as an added plus-it does let the air in.

Latest in the line of Naturally Playful play houses from Step 2. Our testers gave this cottage a thumbs up for ease of set up (although they recommend that the optional use of a drill made it much easier to put together), pretend possibilities (the house comes with a built in kitchen, doorbell, phone, and half door that fun for opening and closing). Our testers commented that the picture shows flowers in the windowbox but does not come with flowers and does not have a drainage hole in case you want to plant real flowers or plants for your kids to enjoy. You can certainly add a drainage hole with a drill or use potted plants--or shall we say it, fake flowers! Even with this drawback, they gave the cottage high marks for engaging kids--who did not want to leave the playhouse to play with other toys! Older toddlers and preschoolers really love having a space that's scaled just right for them..and even to point out that you don't fit!!
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 2010. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Designed for older toddlers and preschoolers, this is an idea setting for all types of pretend scenarios. There is a pretend grill, a built-in kitchen, a doorbell and even a bench for enjoying a real snack! Giving kids props for pretend can really inspire role-playing that is essential for developing their language and story telling skills.

A little playhouse designed for older toddlers and preschoolers – looks like Pooh, Tigger and Piglet should be there too. Kids enjoy having small spaces that are designed just for them. This playhouse has a working periscope (really fun), a sink, a working shutter, and a fenced in area so if you're invited in- there's a bigger space for adults. Although it is pricey it will be used for a long stretch. Note: This playhouse is marked 3 & up due to all the extra things that come with it–but the structure itself will be enjoyed by younger children. There are larger play sets from Step 2 that have more height–our recommendation is take your kids along when you're shopping for this type of equipment. If you decide to bring this product home to older toddlers, put the goodies away until they're older.)

I've got this code:
def __parse(self):
for line in self.lines:
r = Record(line)
self.records[len(self.records):] = [r]
print self.records[len(self.records)-1].getValue() # Works fine!
print self.record[0].getValue() # Gives the same as
print self.record[1].getValue() # as
# ... and so on ...
print self.record[len(self.record)-1].getValue()
Now what it should do is making records out of lines of text. But when I access those list after the for-loop has completed all records give the same results for methods I call on them. When I access a record within the for-loop right after it was appended it's the right one so the Record init can't be fault. No, it's absolutely sure that the lines I put in are different! Has anyone an idea why this happens? Help would be very appreciated!

Got a minute?
Lisa M. Gerry at Learnvest talks about how she went from "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to seriously burnt-out" in a relatively short period of time. The experience was far from pleasant, but it did leave her with a good idea of how to recognize the warning signs, including:
1. Slipping Job Performance
This has to be the most ironic warning sign. Here you are, plugging away at work, burning the candle at both ends, only to create a situation in which you are unable to plug away at work and burn the candle at both ends.
2. Thinking About Work All the Time
Most of us spare a thought to our jobs when we're not on the clock, especially in this era of smartphones and always-available email. But if you find that you can't stop thinking about work, you might have a problem.
3. Health Problems
Have you gained weight, or developed back problems, depression, or insomnia? Seemingly unrelated health issues can be caused by chronic stress. If something in your health has changed for seemingly no reason, burnout might be the culprit.

Access your files from anywhere with D-Link's internet accessible network storage enclosure. The DNS-323 has a built in FTP server so you can log in anywhere you have an internet connection. Since it connects to your network with a Gigabit Ethernet connection you know your local network won't be the cause of slow data transfers.
Internally the enclosure has space for two 3.5" SATA hard drives of any currently available capacity. You can configure the drives for speed or data security. Standard mode allows you to access the drives individually while JBOD adds their capacity together linearly. RAID 0 stripes the drives together for maximum performance. For maximum protection RAID 1 mirrors the drives so you have two copies of the data.
The UPnP AV media server streams data to any connected media devices or computers. That way all the media is stored in one place and you don't have to worry about copying the files to each system. There is also a print server so you can share one non-networked among all the users on the network without having to set up print sharing.

Great home NAS
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Easy setup, lots of functionality out of box, highly hackable, energy efficient. The samba support makes it very easy for non-techies to use.
Cons: A little slow to wake up sometimes, but thats part of it's power savings. More horsepower (CPU, RAM) would be great for this little guy (more of a nit than anything)
Other Thoughts: This is super handy for off loading all those baby pics, other documents, music and movies. Sure the cloud is great and all, but it will never be as snappy as a 1gig link to your office.

Stood the test of time
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Extremely stable. Quiet and reliable.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I've had this running since May of 2009. It's been on a UPS and has NEVER EVER been powered down since the installation. I have my entire music library stored on this NAS using two 1T drives. I back up daily just in-case, but to the date of this review I have not been let down. This NAS is used daily for music playback and storage. This has been a really great purchase.

Storage Happiness
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Built-in FTP, media, iTunes servers for sharing content in your home with an extensible Unix-lite shell to run powerful applications like PHP Web server and much more. SATA drives transfer data quickly, especially over Gigabit ethernet, and RAID seems to be stable and comforting.
Cons: Runs really hot and the fan is loud. The Fonz Funplug shell extension allows for upgrades to fan management though, so it's worth tinkering a bit.
Other Thoughts: Overall this is a great little storage server with plenty of features for the novice and expert alike. I only hope the newer models have some of the kinks worked out for when I have to replace mine.

Good for the money
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Reasonably quiet, nice-looking, solidly built, reasonably easy set-up, although DLink could create "Quick Setup" software for ALL their products to make it easier for less-knowledgeable users...
Cons: Slow for streaming, access not as fast as wired external drives. Proprietary HDD formatting. Need to be fairly picky with your choice of HDD's. RESEARCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!
Other Thoughts: I use this as a place to back my files up to, not everyday access, so the slower speed doesn't matter to me.

Don't waste your time.
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Quiet
Cons: Didn't work with the drive I put into it until I updated the firmware.
Other Thoughts: Being very nitpicky about the speeds of the transfers for network devices, this was just not for me. I got it and returned it to newegg within a week. For a budget NAS this product is great, but if you want speed or more than one person streaming music/video off of it you should probably look for another solution.

RAID 1 not stable
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Inexpensive, fairly easy to use.
Cons: Not compatible with newer WD drives,
Other Thoughts: I've been using this for a year or two now and it largely work fine (after getting it configured with drives it supports), but twice now I've had the RAID 1 array degrade on me without any HDD failures. I don't know why this happens, but as a result I don't trust the enclosure to maintain my data.

My Second DNS-323
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: I've had the DNS-323 for several years now, and just purchased a second one. It can be a little confusing adding users and permissions at times, but it does what it is supposed to. I also access this from remote locations via FTP which works well, and a the latest firmware FAQ states it now supports secure FTP, I have in the past used the UPnP for media.
Cons: The only 'con' I can find, is when this unit is on sale, it is a great value. when not, it is a bit pricey as are all NAS boxes.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I am very pleased with the DNS-323, it is a great unit and would not hesitate to purchase a third.

ReReview: A few years later
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Very attractive exterior. I like the indicators on the front of the unit... its easy to turn around and see if the thing is being accessed and which drive is being accessed, if its still booting up, etc. The drive release system handle is easy to pull back on. The front plate that conceals the drives and serves as the button to turn the unit on/off has never misaligned when replacing. Reliable under very basic configurations.
Cons: Unit gets too warm. The JBOD implementation in the firmware is HORRIBLE or maybe JBOD is just horrible in general! (I noticed a newer model WITHOUT JBOD support). Progress/update/new features are non-existent. Unit is HORRRIBLY slow. Was getting only getting speeds of 11mb/sec using windows explorer file transfer system. Made sure every single component from the cable being 1GBit compatible (cat7), the router being set to 1GBit compatible(it is rated 10/100/1000 with this feature enabled), another cat7 cable, to my gaming computer... which when I hover over the network icon, says 1000/MBiS. I still get this speed. I got in and started horsing around with settings and hard drive configs, etc, and now I get 4.72MBy/s. I bought a new hard drive and put it in this unit, got 11MBy/s... I tried ext2 with the new drive with the same result. As mentioned in my previous review, I have had many file-loss woes, even though Im using the recommended ext3 file system for reliability.
Other Thoughts: Seems like they could just modify the firmware to do some of what they do in a new model, like much-anticipated NTFS support. There are several un-addressed issues that are causing me to buy an anonymous different brand of NAS and mothballing this one... It is causing me to spend and extra 200$ on something I already have a semi-functional network appliance of. They come out with newer and/or more expensive models of this that have some of the features NAS users have been asking for...

It's OK
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Sleek design, rubber strips on the bottom to prevent NAS from sliding around. Very easy to assemble and slide hard drives in.
Cons: Power button's location is off, had to remove the face plate to reset. Takes forever to reset (about 3 minutes). DDNS configuration could be a little easier.

Dlink 323 Review
This review is from: D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
Pros: Nice NAS. It is more on the basic side and easy to setup. It has support for 2TB Drives. I am running 2 X WD Green Drives in it. Very small, it is not much larger than the 2 drives and power cord.
Cons: Speed is not the best, I think it maybe the unit but could be the green drives I am using. According to others they have some speed complaints. This unit could be fast but for the price I think it is acceptable.
Other Thoughts: I did not and most likely will not setup up the print server so I can not comment on that.

I took off today planning on doing a solo trip up GMR and onto the Village, but GRR had other plans for me. After making it up to the Shack in 1h2m and having a short break I heading out to attack ridge. I make it to about the 6 mile marker and as I am passed by another cyclists I realized I was struggling much harder then I expected. Well I look down and see my rear tire has gone semi flat. I pull off to the side and get the wheel off. After inspecting the tire and the tube, I could not find any reason why it would have gone flat. I believe the stem might be leaking slowly. Well I replace the tire get it on and fill it up with my C02, worked great... but hoping to avoid over inflating, I end up slightly under inflating the tire. It felt very sluggish after that, but enough air to feel comfortable riding on.
So after I get done with that I take off still planning on getting to the Village. Well after about the 8mile marker I threw in the towel turned around and headed back, beaten and ashamed. Other then not meeting my Village goal, it was a good ride. Nice cool breeze in some parts and late enough in the day to have some shade in others.
My tracking gps on my phone worked great, I will upload the maps & stats shortly. You can see just how close I was to the village.

Three games left, then it gets real
Posted By On September 30, 2011 @ 6:01 am In Hockey,New York Rangers,NHL | 46 Comments
The good news is that the Rangers crawl out of that dark chasm today and that, from today until the day they're eliminated from the playoffs (or dancing with the Cup) the rest of the games will be televised. (how spoiled we've gotten).
MSG Network will do the three remaining preseason games, starting today at 1 p.m. in Henrik Lundqvist's homecoming in Sweden. I will be able to catch that game, but probably not the games Sunday and Monday, so if anybody wants to review those, drop me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Then next week, we'll do predictions, and I'll have some preview stories late in the week. One week until the opener.

Paul George is an offensive enigma. Defensively, we know and adore him as one of the game's premier wing stoppers. The Indiana Pacers led the league with a 96.7 DRtg, not just because of the massive Roy Hibbert, but also because of George's athleticism and versatility. Any issue with his game is with his offense. And we still struggle to properly evaluate his offensive characteristics.
Through Dec. 31 of this past year, George was having a standout fourth NBA season. In 30 games, he was shooting 39.9% on three-pointers (up from 35.8% for his career). He was averaging 23.8 points per game (up from 12.9 for his career). Not only did the basic metrics show his excellence, but so did the advanced shooting stats.
He had 1.204 Actual Points Per Shot compared to 1.045 Ian Levy's Expected Points Per Shot (XPPS). That means he was far out-pacing the general league average expectation for his shot distribution — by an average of 0.159 points per shot attempt. That's far beyond elite, way better than possibly expected based on George's first three years of middling offensive efficiency.
But then what happened after the New Year? The now 24-year-old George came crashing back down to earth. The season-long shot chart via Austin Clemens tells us most of what we need to know:
In the second half, George's Actual Points Per Shot (1.052) were dead even with his Expected Points Per Shot (1.053). Instead of being a very elite shot-maker, he was back to exactly league average based on his shot distribution.
This phenomenon is generally called regression to the mean. Paul George only had a 54.2% True Shooting percentage on 21.0% Usage in his first three seasons; how could you possibly expect 60.2% True Shooting with 28.3% Usage for the long term? More damning, where can you trust him for the long term shooting-wise? He's not a great finisher and he takes a lot of above-the-break three-point shots at mostly poor rates. He has a tendency to shoot left baseline jumpers, but isn't good at them. He has a fairly decent but unspectacular elbow mid-range game.
From the chart above, the only thing that stands out that well is his corner three-point shot. From there, he had a sparkling 48.6% shooting percentage this season, exceeding the league average of 39.0%. He has proven to be very, very good from that zone on each side of the court. The unfortunate part is that corner three-point attempts are dependent on other offensive distributors; 96.2% of those league-wide makes are assisted.
Yes, George does create a decent amount of his own offense (assisted on 36.2% of two-point makes compared to 51.8% league average). But it's difficult to see where he provides much value in shooting the basketball. He struggled in post-up situations and off offensive rebound possessions, per Synergy Sports Technology. He did shot very well on threes via transition, off screens and spot-ups.
One can only wonder how good George might be offensively alongside a more dominant offensive playmaker. The Pacers did add additional offensive spacing this offseason — in the form of Cleveland's C.J. Miles and Europe's Damjan Rudez — but lost the uber-important Lance Stephenson to the Charlotte Bobcats. If that happens, it's possible even more half-court ballhandling duties will fall on George's shoulders. That likely wouldn't be good for his shooting efficiency.
