The following screenshot shows a file system which contains file, cache files and preferences.
Only the application can write into its application directory. It can create additional sub-directories in this application directory. For these sub-directories, the application can grant read or write permissions for other applications.
Android has internal storage and external storage. External storage is not private and may not always be available. If for example the Android device is connected with a computer, the computer may mount the external system via USB and that makes this external storage not avaiable for Android applications.
As of Android 8 SDK level it is possible to define that the

should be placed on external storage. For this set
to preferExternal or auto.
In this case certain application components may be stored on an encrypted external mount point. Database and other private data will still be stored in the internal storage system.
Android supports the usage of the SharedPreferences class for persisting key-value pairs (preferences)of primitive data types in the Android file system.
The definition of these preferences can be done via an XML resource.
class provides methods to get access to preferences stored in a
certain file.
The following code
shows how to
preferences from a
certain file
# getting preferences from a specified file
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("Test", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Preferences should be created private for the application. They can be accessed via all application components. Sharing data with other application with world readable or writable preference file is rarely used, as the external component would need to know the exact filename and location of the file.
The default preferences are available from any component via the
method call.
Preference value are accessed via the key and the instance of the
class, as demonstrated in the following listing.
SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity(); String url = settings.getString("url", "n/a");
To create or change preferences you have to call the
method on
object. Once you have changed the value you have to call the
apply your asynchronously to the file system. The usage of
method is discouraged, as it write the changes synchronously to the
file system.
Editor edit = preferences.edit(); edit.putString("username", "new_value_for_user"); edit.apply();
You can listen to changes in the preferences via the
method on
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); // Instance field for listener listener = new SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() { public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences prefs, String key) { // Your Implementation } }; prefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(listener);
One watch out is that
keeps listeners in a
hence listener may be recycled if your code does not hold a reference
to it.
The following tutorial is based on the "de.vogella.android.socialapp" example from Android action bar tutorial.
The following exercise assumes that you have created an Android project called com.example.android.rssfeed with one entry called Settings in the action bar.
In this exercise you allow the user to enter his preferred URL for an RSS feed via another activity. This activity uses a preference xml file to define the user interface.
If you project does not have an
folder create one.
Create an Android XML resource called mypreferences.xml in the xml folder.
Add entries to this file similar to the following listing.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <EditTextPreference android:key="url" android:title="Rss feed URL" android:inputType="textUri"/> <CheckBoxPreference android:title="Aktiv" android:key="active"/> </PreferenceScreen>
Create the class
which extends
PreferenceActivity. This
loads the
file and allows the user to change
the values.
package com.example.android.rssreader; import android.os.Bundle; import android.preference.PreferenceActivity; public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.mypreferences); } }
Register this class as an activity in your
Open the preference
activity via the
method as demonstrated in the following listing.
@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.mainmenu, menu); return true; } // This method is called once the menu is selected @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.preferences: // Launch settings activity Intent i = new Intent(this, SettingsActivity.class); startActivity(i); break; // more code... } return true; }
To make use of our new preference activity and the preference
we adjust the
class. The following code snippet
demonstrates how you can access the
preference value in a method which triggers an
to load the feed from the Internet.
public void updateListContent() { if (parseTask == null) { parseTask = new ParseTask(); parseTask.setFragment(this); SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity()); String url = settings.getString("url", "http://www.vogella.com/article.rss"); parseTask.execute(url); } }
Run your application. Select from your action bar the Settings action. You should be able to enter a URL. If you press the back button and press the refresh button, ensure that the value of the url preference is used in your activity.
The following code snippet demonstrates how to show the current value in the preference screen.
package com.example.android.rssreader; import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.content.SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener; import android.os.Bundle; import android.preference.EditTextPreference; import android.preference.ListPreference; import android.preference.Preference; import android.preference.PreferenceActivity; import android.preference.PreferenceCategory; public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.mypreferences); // show the current value in the settings screen for (int i = 0; i < getPreferenceScreen().getPreferenceCount(); i++) { initSummary(getPreferenceScreen().getPreference(i)); } } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences() .registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences() .unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this); } @Override public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) { updatePreferences(findPreference(key)); } private void initSummary(Preference p) { if (p instanceof PreferenceCategory) { PreferenceCategory cat = (PreferenceCategory) p; for (int i = 0; i < cat.getPreferenceCount(); i++) { initSummary(cat.getPreference(i)); } } else { updatePreferences(p); } } private void updatePreferences(Preference p) { if (p instanceof EditTextPreference) { EditTextPreference editTextPref = (EditTextPreference) p; p.setSummary(editTextPref.getText()); } } }
Access to the file system is performed via the standard
Android provides also helper classes for creating and
accessing new
files and directories.
For example the
getDir(String, int)
would create or
access a directory. The
openFileInput(String s)

openFileOutput(String s, Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
create a
Android supports world readable or writable files, but it is considered good practice to keep files private to the application and use content provider if you want to share data with other applications.
The following example shows the API usage.
public class Util { public static void writeConfiguration(Context ctx) { try (FileOutputStream openFileOutput = ctx.openFileOutput("config.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);) { openFileOutput.write("This is a test1.".getBytes()); openFileOutput.write("This is a test2.".getBytes()); } catch (Exception e) { // not handled } } }
public void readFileFromInternalStorage(String fileName) { String eol = System.getProperty("line.separator"); try (BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(openFileInput(fileName)));){ String line; StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) { buffer.append(line + eol); } } catch (Exception e) { // we do not care } }
Android supports also access to an external storage system e.g. the SD card. All files and directories on the external storage system are readable for all applications with the correct permission.
To read from external storage your application need to have the
write to
the external storage system your application needs the
permission. You get the path to the
external storage system via the
Via the following method call you can check the state of the external storage system. If the Android device is connected via USB to a computer, a SD card which might be used for the external storage system is not available.
The following shows an example for reading from the external storage system.
private void readFileFromSDCard() { File directory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); // assumes that a file article.rss is available on the SD card File file = new File(directory + "/article.rss"); if (!file.exists()) { throw new RuntimeException("File not found"); } Log.e("Testing", "Starting to read"); BufferedReader reader = null; try { reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)); StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); String line; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { builder.append(line); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (reader != null) { try { reader.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } }

The show was good. The acting superb and the staging excellent. Act II Playhouse is
a very small but comfortable venue. We enjoyed two of our favorite local actors - Tony
Braithwaite and Jeff Coons. Definitely worth the trip to Ambler.

A fun night ...
Lend Me a Tenor is a madcap screwball comedy that takes place when Tito Merelli (Jeffrey Coon), the fiery-tempered and world famous Italian superstar, goes missing just as he's to make his debut with a local opera company. As the show's presenter (Tony Braithwaite) conspires to cover for Tito's absence, placate his hot-blooded wife (Tracie Higgins), and distract his passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues!

Noble Investment Group bought the property for $2.65 million from Gervais & Lincoln LLC, Colliers International reported.
Noble Investment, which has received approval for the project from city of Columbia officials, said the six-story brick structure will consist of 83,000 square feet. The total amount of the investment has not been announced.
The site at 823 Gervais St. presently is a parking lot between a building that houses Jason's Deli and the offices of Miller-Valentine Group, a commercial real estate general contractor, and the Saki Tumi Grill and Sushi Bar.
A 62-space parking lot, with access to Lady Street, will be built behind the hotel. Sidewalks will be built on both sides of the new hotel.
The Hyatt Place would be the third hotel to be built in the central part of the Vista, joining the Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn.
J.P. Scurry, vice president of Colliers, brokered the sale representing the seller.
The purchase of 823 Gervais St. is the second major property deal in the Vista that has been announced in the past week.
On Thursday, Colliers announced that it had sold a 15,050-square-foot, one-story retail and mixed-use building at 932 Gervais St. to developer Crosland Southeast. The lead tenant will be Urban Outfitters, which plans to open in July.

The Bachelorette
Which Reality Star Is Getting Cozy With An Inflatable Swan?
Well here's something you don't see everyday…This ultra busy reality star ducked out of her daily life and dipped into a pool with the biggest swan we've ever seen — seriously, don't ever let that thing sneak up on us!
The entertainment reporter first caught our attention back in the day when she looked for love with a pilot on primetime. She didn't wind up in the, er... cockpit but never fear, this fan favorite returned to our screens the following year and danced away with a sizzling hot Salsa partner.
Things didn't last between the 29-year-old and her dimpled beau, but she's gone on to find love, an adorable dog, and an amazing job hobnobbing with celebs. Few former reality stars have gone on to be as successful as this beauty, who we've followed down the red carpet and even to the Sochi 2014 winter Olympics.

Twenty-two participants from the offices of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Gallo Realty combed a large section of Rehoboth Beach May 7 as part of Delaware's Adopt-a-Beach Program. The volunteers collected more than 30 pounds of trash.
"Keeping the beach clean serves many purposes," said Andrew Ratner, vice president and broker. "It protects an important part of our natural environment, and a clean beach means more people coming to enjoy the area. We appreciate the opportunity to serve our community in this way."
The group will clean this same stretch of beach in the autumn.

Activists supporting peace talks took to the streets Thursday, holding demonstrations at 20 key junctions across the nation. Among those expressing their support for the peace process were Yesh Atid
activists, who were surprised to receive a visit from Finance Minister Yair Lapid.
Lapid addressed the demonstrators and expressed optimism at the political process, saying: "A political process is under way; we are here because it is real." He added that "we will not miss this chance, it is time to separate from the Palestinians."

The finance minister noted that the economic situation is improving and is inseparable from the political process. He further promised that his party activists will continue to demonstrate for peace both in Israel
and with Palestinians.
He also mentioned US Secretary of State John Kerry's proposal to install plasma screens and other electronic devices as a substitute for armed forces in the Jordan

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi Customer,
Are you behind with your mortage payments?
Are the stocks set up as an IRA (tax deferred)?
Given the information your provided, I don't think a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will help you. Filing a Bankruptcy cannot affect the mortgage payment. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can allow the debtor to pay mortgage arrears over a period of up to 5 years, in addition to paying the regular monthly amount. This is the main advantage of a Chapter 13.
Additionally, your non-IRA investments would be taken to pay your unsecured creditors.
Chapter 7 is for debtors who have little or no assets. In a Chapter 7, debts are discharged with the debtor paying little or nothing. With a Chapter 13, the debtor pays all disposable income to the Bankrutpcy court for 5 years, and after the 5 years most unsecured debt is discharged.
The exemptions are the same for both.
A Chapter 13 cannot force the lender of a first mortgage to adjust the payments. (Actually, Congress recently had the chance to change this, but voted against the change.) However, if the house is underwater and there is a second mortgage, the balance of the second mortgage can be discharged - along with the other unsecured debts - at the end of the 5-year period.

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching ten thousand messages in a given week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Our regular monthly column keeps you abreast of the latest discussions and decisions, selected and summarized by Zack. Zack has been publishing a weekly online digest, the Kernel Traffic newsletter, for over five years now. Even reading Kernel Traffic alone can be a time-consuming task.
Linux Magazine now provides you with the quintessence of Linux kernel activities, straight from the horse's mouth.
m68k Revitalized Under git
Geert Uytterhoeven announced a new git repository for the m68k Linux port, replacing a defunct CVS repository. He also posted a patch to add a make install compilation target for the m68k build and posted several other m68k updates as well.
MSI HOWTO Rewrite
Matthew Wilcox has rewritten the MSI HOWTO, the first major rewrite since 2004. MSI (or Message Signaled Interrupts) provide PCI devices with an alternative to traditional interrupts that require the existence of a hardware pin on the device. MSI lets the device trigger an interrupt simply by writing data to a specific memory address. Randy Dunlap and Sitsofe Wheeler offered some feedback on the prose, and Matthew updated the doc because of it. Grant Gundler and Michael Ellerman had more technical feedback, which they discussed with Matthew. Ultimately it looks as though this is a welcome rewrite, with all in favor.
Controlling Tracepoints
Steven Rostedt has posted a patch to ftrace, providing a simple interface for users to enable and disable any tracepoint that already exists in the kernel. The new /debug/tracing/available_events file lists all tracepoints available for tracking, whereas the /debug/tracing/set_event can be modified to list the events you want to enable or disable.

Effect of administration of antihelminthics for soil-transmitted helminths during pregnancy
Up to 740 million people worldwide may suffer from hookworm infection, which leads to both nutrient deficiency and anaemia. Limited data from three trials suggest that, in areas endemic for soil-transmitted helminths, a single dose of an antihelminthic drug is unlikely to reduce maternal anaemia and related adverse outcomes for the mother and her baby.
RHL Commentary by Kumar N
Soil-transmitted helminths – which include hookworm, roundworms and whipworms – have been recognized as an important public health problem in many developing countries (1, 2). It is estimated that 576–740 million people worldwide suffer from hookworm infection (both Ancylostoma duodenale and Ancylostoma americana) (3), which, owing to chronic blood loss form the intestine, leads to both nutrient deficiency and anaemia.
Iron-deficiency anaemia itself is the most common consequence of nutrient deficiency in the world. It is estimated that more than 50% of women of reproductive age in developing countries are anaemic. There is a strong association between the degree of anaemia during pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes, namely low birth weight of infant, preterm birth, perinatal mortality and infant survival. Theoretically, there is considerable potential to reduce the impact of anaemia in pregnancy by treating pregnant women with anthelminthic drugs in areas where hookworm infestation is common.
This review sought to determine the effects of administration of antihelminthics for soil-transmitted helminths during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy on maternal anaemia and pregnancy outcomes.
The authors of the review performed an extensive search through the electronic Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's trial register. The reviewers were looking for randomized controlled trials involving administration of antihelminthics in pregnant women in the second or third trimester.
The risk of bias in the included trials was assessed using the criteria outlined in Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews of interventions (4). Each author extracted the data independently using an agreed form. The extracted data were entered and analysed using the Review Manager Software (RevMan 2008).
Three randomized controlled trials assessing the effects of administration of antihelminthics during second or third trimester of pregnancy were included. These trials, which included 1329 pregnant women, evaluated maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with the administration of antihelminthics, including maternal anaemia (defined as Hb <11.0g/dl), low birth weight (< 2500 g), preterm birth (before 37 weeks of gestation), perinatal mortality and infant survival at 6 months.
The trials were conducted in Sierra Leone (184 women), Peru (1042 women) and Uganda (103 women) and included women in the second trimester of their pregnancy. The trials had evaluated, through a randomized placebo-controlled design, outcomes of a single dose of an antihelminth (albendazole 400 mg or mebendazole 500 mg). Two studies also had iron supplementation and iron plus folic acid supplementation as a co-intervention in both groups.
The administration of a single dose of an antihelminth, with or without iron supplementation during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, had no impact on maternal anaemia when compared with iron supplementation alone [risk ratio (RR) 0.76; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39–1.45; 2 studies, n = 1017). Also, no effect of deworming was measured on the outcomes of low birth weight (RR 0.94; 95% CI 0.61–1.42 (on study; n = 950), perinatal mortality (RR 1.10; 95% CI 0.55–2.22 (2 studies, n = 1089) and preterm birth (RR 0.85; 95% CI 0.38–1.87 (1 study, n = 984).
None of the studies indicated whether any information had been collected on infant survival at 6 months of age. A sensitivity analysis for the risk of bias due to incomplete results on perinatal mortality was not conducted since only three studies were included in analysis.
The review did not find sufficient evidence to recommend use of antihelminths in pregnant women to reduce the risks associated with anaemia in pregnancy. The three studies included in the review were done in developing countries known to have a high prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths. Since hookworm is primarily responsible for causing anaemia and the frequency of hookworm in the three studies varied from 38 % to 65.6 %, the role of antihelminthic in improving the anaemic status of the pregnant women could have been best studied by highlighting the results of this group, and avoiding those women who were possibly anaemic due to causes other than iron deficiency. The findings of the review are relevant to communities with high rates of hookworm infestation.
At the present time there is no justification at the present time to undertake mass deworming programmes to reduce maternal anaemia and improve clinical outcomes for mothers and their babies. In a subset of the study in Sierra Leone, it was found that a single dose of antihelminth treatment early in the second trimester of pregnancy, along with iron and folate, had a beneficial effect on maternal anaemia. If this result can be confirmed in a larger trial, it could have significant implications of reducing anaemia in pregnant women. It would also indicate to what extent infection with soil-transmitted helminths contributes to anaemia in the population.
In the trials included in the review women were given an antihelminthic drug without prior testing to determine infestation with soil-transmitted helminths. Future research should include studies carried out only on pregnant women that had positive stool tests with intestinal helminths, before being randomized into various study groups. Since there is a direct relationship between the intensity of hookworm infestation and blood loss (5), stratification of study subjects by the intestinal load of helminths would be useful in future studies.

I love the Born brand and when I saw these boots I was in love. When I received them I was thrilled, however the zippers to the boots were not working properly they would easily zip down , but not up. The sizing by the ankles was smaller than usual. Since the zippers would not go up I had to return the boots. I was truly disappointed.

Low-cost airline SpiceJet flew back into black with the December quarter profit jumping to Rs 102 crore, against a net loss of Rs 39.3 crore a year ago, on the back of higher revenue and stable oil prices.
As of December, the airline controlled 19.2 per cent of the domestic passenger market share, which was 16.80 per cent a year ago.
As ticket prices remained high during the quarter, the Chennai-based carrier said its average passenger yields rose a full 29 per cent, thanks partly to the grounding of its rival and once the second largest airline Kingfisher Airlines.
This brought 37 per cent revenue spike from operations to Rs 1,603 crore compared to Rs 1,173 crore a year ago.
The yields from passengers rose to Rs 4,412, up 29 per cent from Rs 3,421 a year ago, significantly boosting profit.
The news sent its shares rallying as much as 7.6 per cent on the BSE and settled today gaining 5.01 per cent at Rs 46.15.
Describing the numbers as "quite robust," Chief Executive Niel Mills told PTI that the airline focus on better revenue realisation from operations and route rationalisation helped it report healthy numbers.
Another reason is the better fleet optimisation and an altered route mix (thanks to more international flights) coupled with higher yields, fuel cost as a proportion fell to 45 per cent of the total revenue in the current quarter as against 50 per cent a year ago, Mills said.
"Also, diversification into newer markets helped us secure revenues and higher yields. The new routes netted us Rs 100 crore in revenue during the quarter," he said.
To announce a profit of Rs 102 crore for the third quarter in the current challenging environment is a huge achievement and clearly demonstrates that the strategic changes SpiceJet have made in the last two years has created a platform for our future success, Mills said.
He said the international operations contributed 7 per cent to the overall revenue basket during the quarter, and the target is to get 20 per cent of revenues within the next 18 months from international operations.
The international operations saw an 80 per cent increase in the number of passengers, while the growth in number international departures jumped 129 per cent, he said.
"Notwithstanding the all-round improvement, the fact remains that the industry continues to bear the brunt of extremely high incidence of taxation on fuel which averages at 24 per cent, making it among the highest in the world and acts as the biggest hurdle for the industry's long-term profitability," Mills warned.
During the quarter, the airline recorded 7 per cent growth in number of passengers, while the growth of available seat kilometres rose 18 per cent and the number of departures grew a full 25 per cent.
Its regional operations recorded an 82 per cent growth in the number of passengers, while the departures posted a higher 89 per cent growth.
On revenue from the last week's ultra-low fare scheme, Mills said, they sold 7,05,000 tickets in three days but refused to share the revenue. But, it has been learned that the airline netted a huge Rs 165 crore.
Describing the promo as a tactical one, Mills said he is looking at garnering 20 per cent ticket sales through such promotions.
When sought his fuel outlook, he said it still is a big challenge and in a country like ours every airline has to live with this.
On the much-delayed ATF import, for which SpiceJet was the first to secure a licence last April, Mills said he has been waiting for the past six months or so to clear one last bureaucratic hurdle.
"As and when this one bureaucratic issue is resolved, I can start shipping in ATF from the very next day, as I have all the commercial arrangements, like vendors, shippers, storage facilities, etc already in place," Mills said.
However, Mills did not name any of the partners and the government department where the issue has got stalled.
SpiceJet currently operates over 330 daily flights to 42 domestic cities and seven international destinations -- Dubai, Colombo, Guangzhou, Kabul, Kathmandu, Male and Riyadh.

SpiceJet swings to quarterly profit, shares rise
(Reuters): Indian budget carrier the Kalanithi Maran-led SpiceJet swung to a quarterly profit on Monday, aided by higher fares, sending its shares up as much as 7.6 percent.
SpiceJet earned 1.02 billion rupees ($18.95 million) in October-December, compared with a net loss of 392.6 million rupees in the year-ago quarter.
SpiceJet said average passenger yields rose 29 percent in the latest quarter, a period that saw Kingfisher Airlines grounding its fleet.
A rise in passenger yields reflects higher airfares.

After showing much of those same issues in his first game of the Showcase on Monday, finishing with just eight points and eleven boards on 2-of-8 shooting, one scout professed to Draft Express that "he's out to lunch. The worst body language of any player I've seen at this event."
It's unclear if the word got back to Dorsey, but he clearly looked like a man possessed in his Vipers 115-107 win over the Bakersfield Jam.
Dorsey was bigger, faster and most definitely stronger than any other player out on the court leading Rockets GM Daryl Morey to proclaim that "he's the Dwight Howard of the D-League."
"I really think if he was given starting minutes in the NBA, he'd be in the top 15 in rebounding," Morey said. "He's here in the D-League to work on getting the other things up to that level. He's making strides."
via Joey Dorsey, 'Dwight Howard of the D-League,' Shines at Showcase — NBA FanHouse.
First off, make sure you're checking out Scott's work over at FH covering the Showcase.Never before has one man gotten so much out of a trip to Boise before.
Dorsey's a prime example of why the D-League exists. The objective is to develop physically and to learn the pro-parts, which Dorsey is. It's a tremendous tool to use for players like Dorsey, who otherwise would have just been released and wandered into Europe never to be heard from again.
What's the biggest thing coaches preach on? Consistency. They want consistent effort and focus day in and day out. So why not reward them for that in the D-League?
The CBA is being restructured in 2011 and the things I'm most concerned about outside of revenue sharing are all D-League efforts. Currently the D-League itself signs and manages all of its contracts, meaning that the teams couldn't provide any bonuses for players. But with a little restructuring, wouldn't it be possible?
For example, on assignment, the Rockets could provide non-cap relevant bonuses to Dorsey for consistency measures. Either being graded by a Rockets rep in the organization or on some statistical measure. Wouldn't be for reaching a certain number or count, but say, his total rebounding rate staying above a certain level. Providing measures for guys to work for will mean that they feel like they're working for something. It's an incentive process. And while Dorsey is already paid to be on roster, putting those in might get a bigger result.
It's providing a clear back to the L, which is what guys want.
The option is even better for D-League non-assignment players.You realize it costs a fraction of NBA player contracts and expenses to do anything in the D-League. Being able to provide players who you have assigned to your affiliate rewards for their performances not only will keep them from bolting overseas, but will steer them in the direction they need to go. Key point, you know of a great athletic rebounder and transition scorer who has a penchant for launching 30 foot threes with no conscience. Building in a bonus for a certain FG% with a minimum of attempts would steer the player in the direction you want him to go.
There's so much potential for avoiding busts, for building up players, for having a true development league, but we have to build it so it can succeed.

The Cursed Tuba Contingency - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Wendy wakes up at 5:30 in the afternoon after a late night, and heads out for a new mission. Lacey wonders why there's green cockroach gore on the boots that Wendy borrowed from her. Wendy tries to explain and is forced to flee.
At Middleman HQ, the Middleman has Wendy clean up the car from cockroach gore while he heads out to a Western revival of
Ride Lonesome
with Randolph Scott. On the way he hears someone following him. He ducks into the theater and confronts his pursuer: Lacey. She admits she was going to the movie as well and working on a project about heroic males. They chat and prepare to watch the movie, and Lacey tries to find out what the Middleman does. He spins her a story of being international consultants, but is interrupted by a call from HQ. Wendy informs him that they got a call about a man who drowned in his bed.
They go to the murders scene where the CSI tech, Cecil Rogers, determines that the victim, Artie Atkins, has impossibly died with water in his lungs from the North Atlantic. Even the Middleman is impressed by his efficiency. Rogers leaves and the duo are interrupted when CSI Metro arrives and says they've never heard of Cecil Rogers. The Middleman tries to track down Rogers, while Ida reveals that Artie was a fence. They find out his current partner was Johnny John, and interrupt him with a woman at his apartment. He begs for five minutes with the woman and the Middleman grants it. Wendy thinks Johnny John is heading out the window. They wait… until Johnny John screams. They run in and find Johnny John in the grip of a succubus. The duo separates them and force Johnny John to reveal that he and his partner stole a tuba from a bank vault, and the succubus works for Roxy Wasserman.
The Middleman goes to Roxy's fashion house and accuses Roxy of breaking her deal not to steal or collect magical artifacts. The other succubi move in for the kill but the Middleman refuses to back down and threatens to blow everyone up with a bomb. Roxy orders her minions out and notes the tuba changes everything: it's the only musical instrument to survive the
. Whoever hears its music drowns in the water of the North Atlantic. Roxy explains that when she heard the tuba was stolen, she launched an investigation of her own. She suggests they call a truce and if the Middleman fails to find the tuba, her succubus will terrorize criminals until they find it.
Back at Middleman HQ, Ida scans the world database network to monitor occurrences of the word tuba. It takes a while, and Wendy heads back to the sublet where she notices Lacey is dressed for a date. Lacey says they'll do something tomorrow night and heads out to the revival theater to meet the Middleman. However, his pager goes off and he has to leave, but notes he's never seen the end of
Ride Lonesome
. Lacey promises to stay to the end and tell him the ending.
Back at HQ, Ida has found a blog from a 15 year old, Arturo Arroyo, whose father owns the hotel where Arnie drowned and is boasting on the Internet that he got a new tuba and plans to play it at the high school that night. They get to the high school and see Rogers grab the tuba and run. Johnny John shows up and shoots Rogers, takes the tuba, and escapes in a car. Rogers glows with an unearthly gold light and his wound heals.
They take Cecil to Middleman HQ and determine he has a number of aliases dating back decades. The trail leads back to the
, which shows that he was a penniless musician with a tuba. He explains that he played with the ship's orchestra. Cecil wrapped the tuba in a blanket and claimed it was his child so he could escape. Now Cecil is cursed to live forever until the tuba is destroyed, his health tied to the tuba's. He put the tuba in a bank in the 1950s and has been doing well, but Arthur Mendelson, a collector of
memorabilia, wants the tuba and is holding a party aboard his ocean liner. He'll be recreating the band from the
, and everyone will die when they hear the tuba. Cecil refuses to go with them, since if he is trapped and drowns he'll drown for all eternity.
Wendy heads back to the sublet to prepare for the party and Lacey is interested in what she'll be doing with the Middleman. They arrive… and Lacey and Noser are there as well, as Lacey knows Mendelson through her mother. Wendy goes to try and get them to leave and Lacey starts to give in… just as the liner leaves.
Wendy and the Middleman search the liner for the tuba and Johnny John and his henchmen hold them at gunpoint. They escape and find the tuba, but an unseen figure tasers them unconscious and takes the tuba. They wake up tied to pipes in the hold and Mendelson reveals that he hired Johnny John to steal the tuba. Mendelson doesn't believe in the curse and leaves. As he goes, Cecil is hiding behind the door and reveals that he set up Mendelson to steal the tuba. Cecil convinced Mendelson he was a great-great-great-great-grandson of himself and now he can kill everyone who knows about him in one fell swoop.
Lacey and Noser wonder where Wendy is, and Noser wonders if Wendy might be jealous of Lacey's feelings for the Middleman. Lacey ends up going to look for them with Noser in tow. Meanwhile, the Middleman text messages Lacey's cell phone and Wendy forces him to admit that they went to a movie together… both times. Lacey and Noser find them and use the Middleman's universe key to free them. He gives Lacey and Noser earplugs and tells them to get as far away from the ballroom as possible.
Mendelson addresses the audience, introducing the band, and the entire ship is wired for sound. He introduces Cecil who comes in with the tuba and prepares to play… and the Middleman knocks him unconscious while Wendy escapes with the tuba. The Middleman fights off Mendelson's men while Cecil chases after Wendy. He goes to the sound system and tells her to throw it over the side so the pressure can destroy it. Cecil arrives and knocks her off the railing, while Cecil escapes with the tuba. The Middleman arrives and Wendy finally gets his attention so he can pull her up. Cecil goes back to the audience and prepares to play, but Wendy shoots him with a harpoon gun, pinning the tuba to his chest and sending him plunging into the depths.
Mendelson apologizes to his guests, noting he'll be arrested when they docked. The rest of the band plays and Noser and Lacey dance. The Middleman realizes Lacey could have died and he can't risk her by becoming romantically involved. He cuts in and as they dance, she tells him about the end of
Ride Lonesome
and how Randolph Scott is just like the Middleman. He says he admires her as well but he can't see her because she's Wendy's roommate. As he starts to leave, she insists on telling him that in the movie, no other ending was possible then the ending you don't expect. They dance one more time while Wendy looks on.

Plastered on the side of Crew Stadium is a giant poster of Clint Dempsey, a welcoming sight that greeted the Sounders to practice Friday.
The venue is actually serving double duty the next couple weeks, hosting a game between Columbus and Seattle at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and then the U.S. men's national team for a Sept. 10 World Cup qualifier against Mexico.
And while the Dempsey display was installed to hype the international game, the Crew has also promoted the arrival of the USMNT captain to great effect. Columbus is anticipating its best-attended MLS game of the season. Fewer than 1,000 tickets remain.
The idea of marketing an opponent might seem odd, but Sounders coach Sigi Schmid described it as good for the league, adding that it was hardly unique to the treatment of stars like Carlos Valderrama, Jorge Campos and Roberto Donadoni in the early MLS years. David Beckham and Robbie Keane are more recent examples.

"Clint is part of that group, along with Landon Donovan and some others," Schmid said. "So I think whatever sells tickets and gets people into the stands to see our game and to see our sport and our guys, I think once they come there's a chance they'll come back again, so it's a good thing."
Crew Stadium has been welcoming to the Sounders in other ways, too.
Seattle is 2-0-1 in the stadium, including a 1-0 win in 2009 that broke Columbus' 24-game home unbeaten streak (an MLS record at the time) and a 4-0 win in 2010 that featured a hat trick from Blaise Nkufo, the first in franchise history.
Overall, the Sounders have outscored Columbus 6-1 in its own building. Couple that historical success with the hangover from Sunday's emotional win against rival Portland, though, and the ingredients could be in line for a letdown.
Said Schmid: "Sometimes it takes that first kick, or the first shock in a game, or something to happen that get juices flowing again, but hopefully our character is strong enough that it's not going to take that, that we'll be able to be prepared and ready to go. I think our team physically is recovered, and emotionally we need to make sure we're ready."
The Sounders traveled to Columbus without Obafemi Martins (ankle) and Shalrie Joseph (knee).
Martins had an MRI this week that revealed there was no damage beyond the sprain, and the Sounders hope he will be ready Wednesday against Chivas USA. Joseph sprained his right medial collateral ligament Sunday against Portland, and Schmid said he didn't know a timeline for the midfielder's return.
• Crew star Federico Higuain, who has nine goals and six assists, will be suspended Saturday after receiving a red card late in last week's 4-0 loss to Real Salt Lake.

LILONGWE, 16 June 2009 (IRIN) - Caroline Mbewe, 14, would prefer to be in school, but instead is a domestic worker for an affluent family in Malawi's capital, Lilongwe.
"My bosses treat me well but I don't want to continue working. I want to be like their daughters; I want to go to school," she told IRIN.
As in the rest of the developing world, poor families in Malawi are often forced to send their children out to earn a wage rather than complete their education.
"[My parents] said it was not easy for them to care for me and my three siblings, who are still with my parents at home," Caroline explained.
"[They] told me that my friends were making a lot of money in Lilongwe by working for rich families."
Malawi's initial report to the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child - a universally agreed set of standards and obligations on child protection - noted that approximately 20 percent of all children under the age of 15 were in full-time employment, and a further 21 percent worked part-time. Two decades later the statistics are much the same.
Primary education is free in Malawi, but secondary education - roughly from the age of 14 - is not, and where families have to choose between educating a boy child or a girl, it is usually the boy who will stay in class.
Girls' burden
Girls not only take on unpaid household chores like childcare, cooking and cleaning, but are more likely to be expected to bring in a wage.
Elias Ngongondo, secretary for labour in Malawi's Ministry of Labour, last week pointed out that this "double burden" imposed on many girl children robbed them of the opportunity to "develop to their full potential".
The UN Millennium Development Goals have set a target of ensuring that by 2015 all boys and girls complete full primary school and that there is gender parity in education.
"These targets will not be met unless the factors that generate child labour and prevent poor families from sending children to school are addressed," Ngongondo said.

Just Realized I've Been MIA For Over 2 Months...
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Life really passes when you aren't paying attention! Mostly it's been passing through some major computer changes at work.
I've made a commitment with my one of my SP buds, LESLIES537 to get healthier. We made a pact via text this past weekend through the end of the year. We want to focus on eating healthier and not on a number on the
. We will work on adding more exercise and better food choices-eliminating fast food. I said I wanted to blog once a week-hence this blog.
Last Wednesday, my maternal grandmother had a pulmonary embolism and is now very weak. My Mom is very concerned as she is here but my grandmother is in France. Fortunately my aunt is there but not in close proximity. I worry about how this stresses out Mom and I am keeping her and my grandmother in prayer.
On this same day, a friend of mine told me that she had had an ultrasound and they found a large mass on her ovary. She is having surgery next week. I feel for her: her Mom died in April and she is taking care of her Dad. She lives at home and is in her late 30's. I worry about her and her health. She is a friend I've mentioned in previous blog at some point. We are both over weight. I have a hard time visualizing my size. But my DH confirmed that she is bigger than me. I think that even though I sit at a desk all day, I've been more proactive with my exercise. She used to invite me to go to the gym in her complex. She would ride the bike but be staring at the iPhone. Where as I would listen to my iPod and walk on the treadmill. I'm not saying this to put her down in anyway. I guess I'm still processing. She will have her surgery on Monday at the hospital I work at. I will pick her up Monday morning and take her to work (across the street from our hospital) and then she will come over in the afternoon. Her surgery is around 4 and since she has no family that can be at the hospital with her, I have offered to stay with her overnight. Hopefully she will be discharged by Wednesday. I am going out of town on Thursday to see my father in law with DH & DD. Mom has been kind enough to agree to pick up my friend on Thursday should that be the case. I am praying that it all goes well. Her mass is quite large and she does have a diagnosis that makes it a cancer indicator due to its size
However, I am a great believer in prayer and putting my faith in God.
I did have something positive going on while these last 2 things happened: I bought a new car!
This was when we were at the cemetery on Saturday visiting my Dad. I just love my Kia Soul! It's also known as the hamster car if you've seen the commercials. Actually, here are 2 links for the previous years:
This one is funny!
Emma loves this song!
I need to get my exercise back on track. I did go for a 60 minute walk on Sunday but not since. Daylight savings always makes this a challenge. But I will put my mind to it and find a way to accomplish this goal of getting healthy. I came across this book at BJ's. Has anyone seen or heard it before?
I want it for Christmas but I may decide to get it sooner. It talks about fat burning foods. I'm all about burning up the fat!
At this time of year, we need to focus on eating healthier and moving more! Oh, and drinking more water!! Make it a great holiday season

Papillion, Neb.–Seven shutout frames for Joe Martinez and back-to-back home runs in the third inning Friday night lifted the Reno Aces to a 3-0 victory over the Omaha Storm Chasers in Game 3 of the Pacific Coast League Championship Series at Werner Park.
With a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series, Reno now is one win away from winning the first PCL title in franchise history. Game 4 is slated for Saturday night at Werner Park in Omaha.
On Friday night, Martinez scattered just five hits in a 103-pitch effort, walking just two and striking out seven. He turned over a three-run lead to the bullpen, and the Aces relief corps took care of the rest.
The Aces offense managed just four hits on the night, but it made the most of them. In the third, A.J. Pollock came to the plate with a man on first and one out in the inning. He promptly deposited a Nate Adcock offering over the wall in left to give Reno an early lead.
The next batter, Tyler Kuhn, hit a solo homer on the first pitch he saw to give the Aces a little more cushion. That was the last hit Reno would get, but it proved to be the last one they needed.
After Martinez's exit, Sam Demel and Joe Paterson combined to strand two base runners and strikeout the side in the eighth. Jonathan Albaladejo came on in the ninth and slammed the door, putting Reno in position for a championship on Saturday night.
Martinez (1-0) earned the win, while Adcock (1-1) was pinned with the loss. Albaladejo collected his second save of the postseason.
At the dish for Reno, Pollock led the way with his two-run homer in the third and a lead-off double in the first. Pollock has set the Arizona Diamondbacks Triple-A record for postseason hits with 12.
Game 4 is set for Saturday night at Werner Park in Omaha. RHP Charles Brewer (0-0, 7.20 ERA) gets the ball for the Aces, while the Storm Chasers will counter with LHP Doug Davis (0-0, 10.50 ERA). First pitch is set for 5:05 p.m. PT. Fans can listen live on Fox Sports 630 AM in Reno or by visiting RenoAces.com. The game can be viewed live at the Freight House District, with food and drink specials available.

LOS ANGELES - The Battle of the Bay moves south to the Staples Center as the California Golden Bears (22-8, 13-5 Pac-12) take on the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal (30-1, 18-0) on Saturday, March 9 at 11:30 a.m. in the championship game of the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament. The game will be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports Net and locally on CSN Bay Area.
The Golden Bears have advanced to the championship game of the conference tournament for the second time in the history of the program. Cal and Stanford met in the championship game of the 2008 Tournament, which was held in San Jose, with the Bears falling 56-35.
The Bears and Cardinal are squaring off for the second time in a week. The two played last Sunday, March 4, when the Bears fell 86-61 in Berkeley. This is the second time in the past three years that Cal has played Stanford twice in one week. In 2010, the Bears fell 63-48 on March 6 in the regular-season finale and 64-44 on March 13 in the Pac-10 Tournament.
In the first meeting of the year between Cal and Stanford, the Bears trailed the Stanford Cardinal by 14, 61-47, with 8:17 remaining in the game. Layshia Clarendon tied the game, 69-69, on a pair of free throws with 27 seconds remaining in the game, capping a 22-8 run and sending the game to overtime. The Cardinal won 74-71 in the overtime.
The Bears are the only team to force overtime against the Cardinal this season. The game this season was Stanford's narrowest margin of victory and one of only four games for the Cardinal that was decided by less than ten points, including the nine-point game yesterday against Arizona State. Freshman point guard Brittany Boyd scored a career-high 19 points against Stanford back in January.
The Cardinal have won the last eight meetings and lead the all-time series 59-17. Since 2001-02, the Bears have two victories against the Cardinal.
The Bears have had four players in double figures in each of the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament games and have four players who are averaging double figures. Junior center Talia Caldwell and freshman point guard Brittany Boyd are averaging 11.0 points per game. Caldwell is also averaging 9.0 rebounds per game and has gone 10-for-14 from the field (71.4 percent shooting).
Freshman forward Reshanda Gray and junior guard Layshia Clarendon are each averaging 10.0 ppg.
Who's Hot
* Talia Caldwell just missed a double double in both games with 11 points and nine rebounds against Colorado and the same line against WSU.
* Reshanda Gray has scored 20 points in 46 minutes in the tournament
Single Season Rebounding Record Gennifer Brandon became Cal's single-season rebounding leader with her 15 rebounds against Washington State. She passed Ashley Walker who, as a junior, pulled in 317 in 2007-08. Brandon has 319 rebounds so far this season.
There have only been three players in Cal program history to have 300 or more rebounds in a single season. In addition to Walker, Colleen Galloway (312, 1977-78) and Jill Weddick (300, 1978-79) have also accomplished the feat.
Rebounding The Bears had 59 rebounds against Washington State, the most rebounds in a conference tournament game in program history. The previous best was 52 against USC in 2009.
The Bears outrebounded the Cougars by 34 (59-25). This was only the third-highest rebounding margin of the season for the Bears. Cal topped Oregon by 37 and Bakersfield by 36.
Stanford is the only team this season to outrebound the Bears in a game. In the first meeting of the year, the Cardinal won the battle of the boards 51-47. In the second meeting, both teams had 41 rebounds.
Shooting The Bears held the Cougars to a 27.0 shooting percentage, the lowest opponent shooting percentage of the season.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Bears shot 57.7 percent from the field in the second half, going 15-for-26. The Bears finished the game shooing 48.2 percent.
Free Throws The Bears, who have often struggled at the free throw line this season, have hit clutch free throws in the tournament, including going 6-for-6 in the final minute of the victory over Colorado. Gray has gone 8-for-10 (80.0 percent) from the stripe in the tournament with Boyd nearly matching that mark with an 8-for-11 (72.7 percent) tournament performance.
After a 3-for-9 free throw performance at Arizona State, Boyd has made 30 of her last 36 attempts (over nine games), raising her free throw shooting percentage from 51.6 percent to 60.5 percent.
24 Wins The Bears have now won 24 or more games in a single season four times in the history of the program. The last time Cal won 24 games in a season was the 2009-10 WNIT Championship year. Cal's top win total were the back-to-back 27-win campaigns in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Flirting with a Triple Double Brittany Boyd was one assist shy of a triple double against WSU, with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. No player in Cal history has ever had a triple double. It was Boyd's second career double double, but the first with points and rebounds. Her first career double double was a 10-steal, 19-point game at Arizona State.
Her 10 rebounds was a career high. She had two nine-rebound performances earlier this season.
Selection Monday The winner of the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament will earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Even without a victory on Saturday, the Bears have an excellent chance of receiving an at-large bid to the field of 64 teams. On Monday, March 12, ESPN will air the selection show live from 4-5 p.m. Pacific Time. The Bears players and staff will be watching the show at Pappy's Bar and Grill at 2367 Telegraph Ave (between Channing Way & Durant Ave). The viewing party will be open to the public and fans are invited to join the team as they find out their NCAA Tournament destiny. The pre-show meet and mingle will begin at 3 p.m.
Behind the Scenes with the Cal Bear Blog The Cal Bear Blog has been at the tournament all week capturing behind-the-scenes moments and has been posting exclusive interviews. Click Here to take a look at life at the tournament.
