I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
"This is a pinch of paranormal passion"
This was a great, but all too short, romance fantasy - I wish it had been made into a full book but alas it wasn't to be. Doomed and forbidden Were and Dragon shifters reunite after years of denial of their feeling and hunger for each other but with disastrous consequences. Along the lines of a paranormal version of Romeo & Juliet without the "wherest thou goest" and the reams and reams of paper !! and, just maybe, with a happier ending.
A very short listen but it packs a lot in.
"Not Bad but Not GREAT"
This wasn't too bad this at least had a plot and story line. The Narrator wasn't the best and her male voice almost sounded automated maybe if a different person narrated it maybe I wold have liked it more. This was about young love that was never forgotten that got a second chance.

Napoli linked with Faurlin swoop
QPR's Argentine midfielder Alejandro Faurlin is attracting interest from two Premier League clubs and a Serie A team, according to his agent.
The Daily Mail claim Champions League side Napoli are the Italian club chasing Faurlin's signature, but agent Lucas Cominelli insists the 25-year-old is settled at Loftus Road.
"I'm not encouraging calls because Ali is very happy at QPR," said Cominelli.
"But when the phone rings and there are two Premiership teams and one from Serie A expressing their admiration, it's a testimony to the way Ali has started in the top flight."
Faurlin, valued at around £10 million, is contracted to QPR until 2014. He signed for the London club in 2009 despite interest from Inter Milan.

It's been a while since we've eaten here after 2 less than stellar meals and being "forgotten" by wait staff who were more interested in chatting with friends. While it is nice to see that the latter problem has changed, at least on a slow night, the former has not.
One of our entrees was prime rib which was basically just a big slab of meat that was brought out bone-in and uncut. We were asked if we wanted the chef to carve it and replied in the affirmative and it was returned in the same dish cut in thick pieces. Very little taste. The pasta we had was bland and flavorless and was in desperate need of at least salt if not other herbs and seasoning. The salad was drenched in oil, so much so that when we took a bite there was oil all over the table leaking from the fork. It was tasteless as well. It seemed like the dressing was just oil, if there was lemon juice or vinegar it was not noticeable.
This restaurant used to be so great when it was downtown on Pack Square and it is sad that the quality did not travel when the restaurant was moved.

As an old black and white guy just starting to dip a metaphorical tripod toe into the world of color photography, I'm finding it an interesting new learning curve. Here are a few things I've discovered about working with color - with apologies to all you long-time color pros who will probably laugh at what this novice is discovering for the first time. This fall, we are offering two immersive experience workshops here in Anacortes, just a couple hours north of Seattle. Brooks will once again teach a hands-on folios and chapbooks workshop scheduled for three full days in mid-October. The following weekend will be a series of 4 half-day seminars modelled after our Road Shows of the last two years. If you missed the Road Show, you can still attend Brooks' seminars on Projects . . . Image & Text . . . Finding an Audience for Your Work . . . and a new offering Printing & Publishing. You can attend any or all of these half-day seminars, but there is a 30% discount for those attending all four! In addition to the workshops, Brooks will be out photographing the day before and after each workshop for those who want to photograph our beautiful islands. And of course, we'll have lots and lots of work to view from our collections: including photogravures, special editions prints, folios, and original prints. You can learn more about our fall workshops at www.lenswork.com.

Ugh. This again. The legacy of that Atlanta series is going to linger on this board like a stale fart for a long, long time.
My two cents and I'm out: If you are asking Roy Hibbert to actually corral the rebounds, then he is a poor rebounder. If you are asking Roy to create rebounding opportunities for his teammates by blocking out and being in the correct position to eliminate a potential defensive rebounder from the other team, then he is very, very good. So basically, I co-sign Since86's posts.
My friend, you're not following my logic because you don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say.
I never, EVER said the bolded part of your quote. I never said that the coaches told Roy to not rebound. The coaches simply instructed him to prioritize blocking out the opponent's best offensive rebounder and that's exactly what he did.
And no, blocking out isn't a part of the rebounding process every bleeping time. Wings do not rebound by blocking out. Wings rebound by attacking the ball from the perimeter or the weakside. Lance very rarely attempted to block out. He was instructed to attack the ball with reckless abandon and that's exactly what he did.
Players do what they are instructed to do. Roy was instructed to take out the opposition's best rebounder and clear out space for our wings. If a rebound came in his general vicinity then he could grab it but if it didn't then he was supposed to allow our wings to take the rebound and run offensively. Our wings were instructed to not leak out on the break and grab the defensive rebound and then run offensively. Lance was great at grabbing a rebound and going coast to coast, for example. We generated several easy scoring opportunities that way.
Obviously, I expect this scheme to change this season. CJ Miles and Stuckey are not as dynamic as Paul and Lance so our bigs will be tasked to rebound more than their did last season.
Because Roy was responsible for guarding Nenê in that series. Do you remember Nenê? He is the player who dominated your boy and last year's DPOY, Joakim Noah. He averaged 17.8 PPG on 54.8% shooting against Noah in the first round.
That's why Vogel decided to put Roy on Nenê for that series. He knew that Nenê was a much bigger offensive thread than Gortat and that we would able to advance if Roy could stop Nenê. And it worked. Roy was able to stop Nenê. Nenê averaged 11 PPG on 39.5% shooting against us and we won the series.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
And the person who started the thread presented an article that answered the initial question. The article's response was that "yes, it's a myth that Roy Hibbert is a bad rebounder". That was the conclusion of the article. Roy certainly posts average rebounding numbers but his presence helps his team's rebounding.
And yes, rebounding is not about the individual player. It's a team scheme.
Is 6.6 rebounds what Roy gives you on average? Not really. This last season was a clear anomaly for Roy's rebounding.
Roy averaged 8.2 RPG between the 10-11 and the 12-13 seasons and that's a lot closer to his real rebounding numbers than last season was.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I am not high on Roy at all, but lets tell the whole story. His primary job is to protect the rim, not rebound or shoot well from the field.
$15 Million for the Elite rim protector in the league. Roy's rebounding numers were below the norm for him. He averaged close to or over 8 per game the three previous years.
He has his limitations, but is good for our defensive system and his presence is one of the reasons we have been one of the top rebounding and defensive teams in the league recently

If he doesn't pull down rebounds or shoot great from the field.....I will be disappointed while seriously questioning why a 7'2" Center can't pull down more rebounds . But that's okay....I expect him to protect the rim while hope that he can pull down rebounds and shoot well from the field. If he doesn't protect the rim.....then I will really start complaining ( hence why I am ok with him not venturing too far from the paint and minimizing the time that he is pulled to the perimeter ).

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
This is fun. I'll also dump my opinion and then go back to watching the madness.
To me, Roy isn't a good rebounder at all for his size. He is, however, good at helping the team rebound. Which is all that matters, he's helping the team rebound the ball more often. Basically they are saying if Roy boxes out the opposing center or another good rebounder, then we like our chances for our wings to get boards over whoever else is going after them.
$15 mil for 6.6 boards is bad if he got paid because of his rebounding, but I don't think we need to go any more into how asinine that argument was.
Roy isn't a great rebounder on his own, but he plays a large role in helping the Pacers be a great rebounding team.
Roy's rim protection is not only elite, it's best in the league level. Somebody went and quantified it. Link here:
I'm not going to post the whole thing because it's full of charts. But here's the key takeaway.
So, leaving Brook Lopez (he of the tiny 17 game sample size) aside, Hibbert was the best rim defender by an enormous margin, with a bigger gap between himself and Bogut than there was between Bogut and #35 on the list (Paul Millsap).
Chris Paul gets paid 20 million per year, and he only grabs 4 rebounds per game, so lol at the Clippers. They are getting screwed.
I'm bored so figured I'd throw something in. Hibbert is a very good rim defender, a decent boxer out and good at helping on the defensive end so we get rebounds, and, especially for his size, a pretty crap offensive rebounder.
There are a ton of stats we could argue, so just to summarize, the reason Lance and PG got so many rebounds was because they were uncontested, in large part due to people doing a good job blocking out, especially including Hibbert. On the other hand, Hibbert's offensive rebound rate is 9.9, ranked number 41 among centers, and 62nd in the league if you count all positions. For being the tallest person on the court with by far the largest wingspan, and for playing under the basket on the offensive end a lot, he should be pulling in more offensive boards.
My take away from all this is Hibbert is an elite defensive player, both in terms of rim protection and rebounding, but he is no where near elite on the offensive end.
Danger Zone
and a top 10 offensive rebounder in 11-12 (tied for #8 with Blake Griffin and Ersan Ilyasova at 3.3 ORPG) -> http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/pl...unds/year/2012
Granted, he was absolutely terrible at offensive rebounding in 13-14. That's absolutely true. In general, though, he has shown that he can be a pretty great offensive rebounder.
PS: Other than that, I do agree with the rest of your post. Hibbert is obviously much more valuable defensively than he is offensively.

Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
As for another post about Hibbert helping Lance and Paul rack up rebounds, are we now claiming Hibbert effectively blocks out both the opposing C and a wing too? Really? The fact is, Lance is physical, has a nose for the ball and is not afraid to go into paint and grab rebounds. Yes, he benefits from someone blocking out the opposing C. I agree his numbers would not be what they are but when he's guarding the opposing SG out on the perimeter too, how much is expected from him?
Danger Zone
That's because most wing players go back on defense, to prevent a leak out. And on top of that most of the shots Atlanta shoots are long-range shots, so naturally the rebound will go further away from the basket, which means wing players will likely get the rebound. You realize Ben Wallace got 16 million a year (after the Pistons championship) for 3 years, for being only a defensive player and he had less of an offensive game than Hibbert.
But hey keep on hating on your very own Pacers' players.
Ben Wallace was a monster on D and could outrun most players on the floor. That's one reason he has a ring. He had no weakness on D and the league has figured out Roy's.
Atlanta had no choice but to play small against us and it worked against Hibbert. The league has not figured out Hibbert and he'll still be here anchoring our defense this year while Lance chose to play elsewhere.
Like it or not I think this team is going to be Hibbert's this year. It's the only chance we have to go anywhere. I'll be supporting him.
How many Teams in the NBA have a Center that has a reliable 3pt or 18 foot jumpshot that can pull Hibbert out away from the paint?

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Neither Ben Wallace or his contemporaries had to guard stretch 4s with the exception of Dirk, so you don't know if he would have been capable. The only thing you do know that like Hibbert who is equally impressive on defense, he got paid more than him.
Are we really going to use the "he misses bunnies so he cheats offensive rebounds" argument again? It was proven wrong when people said that about Hansbrough and it remains wrong about Hibbert.
The fact is that Hibbert rebounded ton of misses in 11-12 and 12-13 and most of them weren't his. Don't you remember the 12-13 Knicks series? Even the announcers pointed out that our best offense was missing a shot and have Hibbert and West grab the offensive rebound and score.
No, that's not what I'm saying. I really have no idea how you reached that conclusion but I have never said that.
What I have said is that Hibbert always attempts to block out the opposition's best offensive rebounder. That's usually the opposing C so that's the player that Hibbert usually blocks out. I never implied that he is blocking out a wing as well.
Most wings don't go aggressively after offensive rebounds. But even if a wing goes aggressively after a board then our other wing will block him out. If Lance is going for the board then PG will block out the wing that attempts to crash the board. If PG is going for the board then Lance will block out that wing. If anyone gets forgotten then George Hill will pitch in and block out the wing. West will either jump for the board (if it's in his side) or block out the guy who is close to him. That's how team rebounding usually works. Everyone pitches in. I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Rebounding is a team scheme and the reason why we have been a good rebounding team in the past few seasons is simply because we have good rebounders at every position that understand how team rebounding works. Sure, they screw up at times but that happens to everyone.
Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I don't have anything negative to say about Lance.

Not really. The league has not figured out Roy except if you think that shooting 30+ 3s per game counts as a counter.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Atlanta has Horford who has a very reliable mid-range game (he really is more of a 4 but anyway).
Brooklyn has Brook Lopez who has a very reliable mid-range game as well.
Charlotte has Al Jefferson who has a decent mid-range game.
Cleveland has Love.
Memphis has Marc Gasol who has an ok mid-range game but is much more of a post player and a facilitator.
Miami has Bosh.
Orlando has Nikola Vucevic who has a decent mid-range game and Frye who can stretch the floor even more.
Sacramento has DeMarcus Cousins who has a good mid-range game that is a bit streaky.
So, if we want to count both 3 point shooters and mid-range specialists we come up with 8 teams.
Personally, I don't think that mid-range specialists are a big issue. Nene has a great mid-range game (probably better than Marc Gasol and Nikola Vucevic) but Hibbert didn't have a single issue against him. We didn't have an issue when Bosh was attempting long 2s against us either.
In fact, our defense openly encourages opposing bigs to take long 2s. We will live with that. The problem is Centers that can actually shoot 3s and make them consistently. Several of them exist in this league but most of them aren't starter quality. Kevin Love and Chris Bosh are the only starting quality bigs that spend a lot of time at C for their teams (even though both of them are 4s) and can hit 3s consistently.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
You don't remember Ben Wallace or maybe you never watched him he could guard a wing as well as Shaquille O'Neill.

Canadian utility ATCO Group has finally confirmed its deal to buy Western Australia's major gas pipeline system, WA Gas Networks.
The sale process, which unravels energy infrastructure formerly held in Babcock & Brown satellite Prime Infrastructure, has been going on for almost a year.
ATCO will take a 74.1 per cent interest in WAGN from Westnet Infrastructure Group through AET&D Holdings.
The sale will also allow a complex asset swap agreed to last week between ATCO and listed
DUET will hand over its 25.9 per cent stake in WAGN to ATCO in exchange for increasing its stake in the Dampier-to-Bunbury gas pipeline from 60 per cent to 80 per cent, and a 20.1 per cent stake in the Multinet Gas Network.
WAGN debt worth $80 million would be retired in the agreement, and DUET would also pay a net $42.5 million in cash.
ATCO said that the aggregate cost of the acquisitions including its assumption of $644 million in debt was about $1 billion.
Merrill Lynch said that the deal looked attractive for DUET from a strategic, price and earnings upside point of view.
DUET is jointly managed by AMP Capital Investors and Macquarie Funds.
ATCO already has three power generating facilities in Western Australia.
The Canadian group got exclusivity to negotiate the deal in May, after a race which at various times included GE, Arcapita and Partners Group, as well as a Japanese pairing of trading house Marubeni and utility Osaka Gas.

'SoHo meets the suburbs' in Magnolia Park
"SoHo finally meets the suburbs'' in Centex Homes' new community of Magnolia Park, says David Ivin, president of the company's West Florida division. "Magnolia Park is a great community for people who want the convenience of living in the city, but also want what the suburbs have to offer, such as community green spaces, robust amenities and nature trails,'' Ivin says. The gated community will feature three amenity centers that include resort-style pools and playgrounds. Five miles of walking, biking and running trails wind throughout the community with its preserved wetlands and waterways. Towering old oaks and magnolias bring an "old-Florida feel" to the community, Ivin says. In addition, there are several community parks and sports courts that allow residents ample space to play and relax, he adds. Also scheduled for the 580-acre, master-planned community is the Magnolia Park Town Center, which will include a 30,000-square-foot office complex, a 125,000-square-foot retail complex and a 600,000-square-foot mixed-use employment center."The area will include all the day-to-day conveniences that people need, such as dining, banking and entertainment," Ivin says. "The community was designed to capture the style of a historic Tampa neighborhood with easy-to-maintain yards combined with the convenience of shopping and entertainment close at hand." Work on the town home models is under way, says Ivin, adding that he expects the grand opening to be in November. The first model offers two bedrooms, a loft and 2½ bathrooms in 1,549 square feet of living space. It also has a one-car garage and is priced from $178,900, including lot. The second model has three bedrooms, a loft and 2½ bathrooms in 1,818 square feet of living space. It also has a covered lanai and a two-car garage and is priced from $200,900, including lot. The third town home features two bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms and a one-car garage. It provides 1,451 square feet of living space and is priced from $169,900. Preconstruction pricing and incentives are being offered before the models open, Ivin says. The community also offers single-family home floor plans from its City Homes, Park Homes and Signature Homes collections, with 1,787 to more than 3,600 square feet of living space. Homes are priced from the $200,000s, including lot. Several of the homes in the community will be set around an 80-acre lake, Ivin says. Ivin says home buyers will find the perfect mix of affordability, convenience and location at Magnolia Park in west Brandon. To reach Magnolia Park, take Interstate 75 to Exit 254 (U.S. 301) and head north. Turn left on Falkenburg Road and go one mile. The sales center is on the right. It's open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Sunday.

My daughters (2) were removed from my home on May 11 2011. They were put in foster care, my husband and I faced criminal charges. The charges were dismissed in court on January 26 2012. My children have still not been returned to our home. My 8 year old was found to have several mental disabilities (adhd, odd, and icd) and they have put her on 4 differant anti-psycotic medications ( she has NEVER been violent). High doseages of each. I am morally against children being placed on any drugs but was told by the case worker that if i refused to sign for them to be given to her they would consider me uncooperative and give them anyway. They have made me sign to have her dosages raised 4 times in the time they have had her andeach time I see her, her health is worse and then on my last visit ( i only get to see her once a month for 2 hours) i observed that she is covered in bruises from neck down, her lips were black, and she is 47 pounds now ( when taken she was 78 pounds) and has grown taller by at least 4 inches. I have been trying for the last week to talk to anyone about this, her case worker will not answer or return my phone calls. I tried calling the Oklahoma City main office but was told no one was in that could talk to me, the sherrif's in Eufala OK would not even take a report, and Locust Grove police department wouldn't either. I am VERY concerned and worried about the health of my oldest daughter and no one will even talk to me much less help.

KUNSHAN, China—"What are you going to Kunshan for?" My dad asked incredulously.
Having lived in Shanghai for 19 years—just an hour's drive away from Kunshan—I never once thought of visiting the tiny city known to me for its Aozao noodle, which literally means "foul noodle," and nothing else. But since Duke will (finally) be opening a campus there, I drove to Kunshan to find out why this seemingly unattractive city attracted Duke administrators.
As high-rises gradually faded out of sight, the hope of witnessing another version of the Gothic wonderland kept my drive out of the metropolis thrilling. The promised wonderland, however, was still enclosed in temporary walls and covered with sand. In spite of the ongoing construction, the all-glass buildings and soon-to-be-filled "water quads" of DKU blend with the tranquility of Kunshan perfectly. The campus is not Gothic, but it is certainly very Chinese.
Creating DKU has not been a graceful process. Poor management and insufficient funding caused five significant delays since President Richard Brodhead signed an agreement with the municipal government of Kunshan to break ground on the new campus in 2010. Having slowed to almost a complete stop in 2012, Duke administrators were hopeful that two of DKU's six buildings would be complete by Spring 2014. DKU will open Aug. 25, however, with only one building finished.
As a partnership between Duke and Wuhan University in China, Duke Kunshan University will officially open with three graduate programs in medical physics, management studies and global health and an undergraduate global learning semester program.
Although DKU has been characterized by its delayed construction, I set out to learn about the city of Kunshan itself.
Located in the Kunshan Science and Technology Education Park in close proximity to both Shanghai and Suzhou, DKU's site has initially raised many doubts.
"When DKU first started there were questions about, 'What is Kunshan?' and people say that there is nothing to do here," said DKU Executive Vice Chancellor Mary Bullock. "In a conference call while I stayed at a hotel in downtown Kunshan, I had to interrupt them and say, 'Well, I am looking at a Starbucks from my window, and there is a huge group of people dancing, a KFC underneath me, a Carrefour and Durham does not have that.'"
In the eyes of local Chinese, Kunshan as a county-level city is known as the origin of Kunqu, one of China's oldest extant theater arts. It is also known for its food culture and its surrounding water towns that attract thousands of tourists. Economically, Kunshan is also regarded as one of the most successful county-level cities in China.
"It is in China's most prosperous region with all the networks," Bullock said, adding that it is only 15 minutes away from Shanghai by train. "In another couple of years people are going to start realizing that it is as easy to go from DKU to a meeting in Shanghai as it is to go there from some other places within Shanghai itself."
The campus is neighbored only by a Canadian International School still under construction and green areas. Bullock noted that that Kunshan has started building a small shopping center behind the campus, hiring a renowned developer that developed Shanghai Xintiandi, an affluent car-free shopping and entertainment district. The city has also made a commitment to increase bus routes into Kunshan, she added.
As of now, there is no place within walking distance of the campus where students can have fun, and downtown Kunshan is about a 10-minute drive away. Although a high-speed train ride to Shanghai sounds convenient and tempting, transportation from DKU to the train station is currently non-existent without a car, as buses scarcely run through the area.
"The huge advantage is that the Kunshan city believes in us. We are their big project and we really have the backing of a wealthy and progressive city," Bullock said. "Some people asked whether Kunshan is going to do what it says it is going to do, and so far we are seeing yes."
Constructing a uniquely Duke campus
The master plan of the DKU campus includes five buildings—a conference building, a service building, an academic building, a student dormitory and a faculty residence hall. An innovation building that will house teaching labs and research spaces will be added to the campus in late 2014 or early 2015. The campus will open with students and faculty using the conference center and other buildings will be phased in gradually when they are completed in September and October, Bullock said.
Construction has been a slow process because the Duke oversight team did not find Kunshan's construction standards to their liking. Duke Project Manager Dudley Willis is on site to monitor safety issues during construction and noted that Duke insists on high construction quality that Chinese workers might not be familiar with.
Blending with the geographical location of Kunshan amidst traditional Chinese water towns, one distinctive feature of the new campus is the presence of lakes and a water pavilion with three gathering rooms all made of glass, heated and cooled by the water.
"As you go around here [in Kunshan] you see a lot of lakes and canals, and we bring that here into the campus." Bullock said. "Instead of grass quads we have lakes."
Enrolling the first class at DKU
DKU's is still accepting applications for its graduate programs and the undergraduate semester program after extending deadlines from their original March date. Bullock did not disclose the exact number of students enrolled at DKU because students may decide to go elsewhere even though they put down a deposit at DKU.
"We are still receiving applications," Bullock said. "We are going to announce the number of students enrolled the day we open."
Bullock estimated that so far approximately 100 students have enrolled, with a large number of students admitted for the undergraduate semester program. The student body consists of Chinese students from 12 to 15 universities as well as students from the United States and other countries.
"There will be more Chinese students than international students but there is a good mix," Bullock said. "The basic thing is that we are only admitting highly selective students, so that is the determining factor."
The Graduate School oversees two of the master's degrees offered at DKU—a master's in global health and a master's in medical physics. The Fuqua School of Business oversees the master's program in management studies, said Dean of the Graduate School Paula McClain.
Administrators expect to have 15 to 20 students per graduate program in the first semester and said they were pleased with the results of the first cycle of recruiting.
"We want programs that not only represent Duke's interests but also make sense in China," Bullock said, adding that the program in medical physics, which initially surprised many because it is a highly specialized field, is needed in China due to the increasing demand for scholars who understand high-end medical equipment.
As to future expansion of the graduate programs, Bullock noted that DKU is looking particularly at the environmental field and is currently hosting an environmental group at Duke to hear recommendations for a future master's program in environment and energy.
For the undergraduate semester program, DKU has so far established partnerships with 17 universities in China for its undergraduate semester program, said Wyatt Bruton, international undergraduate recruiting coordinator for DKU.
"That was one of the greatest accomplishments of this year," Bullock said. "One of our big efforts was to visit China's major universities to introduce all DKU programs so that they are recognized and students will be nominated to come."
DKU is committed to the undergraduate semester program as a way to learn about how to implement a liberal arts curriculum in China and get faculty experienced in teaching an international student body.
Bullock added that there are many things to consider at the start of a new university—what is the type of relevant curriculum, what kind of students one wants to have in the program and what would be distinctive about the program because China has a lot of universities. With these concerns in mind, Duke envisions DKU to be both experimental and incremental in its growth.
The future of academic freedom in China
In 2013, Chinese leadership announced seven banned topics from university classrooms. These topics include freedom of press, failures of the Communist Party, judicial independence and wealth of government leaders. Additionally, three Chinese professors got into trouble with the government because of their outspoken views. Duke administrators denied being informed of the ban.
When asked whether there might be changes made to the Duke curriculum due to pressure from a controlled academic environment in China, Bullock said, "Not on my watch."
Other administrators are confident about the prospect of academic freedom at DKU.
"We have been assured by our partners and the ministries that our faculty can teach what they want and our students can learn what they want," said Bill Boulding, dean of the Fuqua School of Business.
McClain declined to comment on the topic of academic freedom.
The academic standards and expectations to which DKU will be held are made clear in the university's governing documents, said Nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU.
Bullock also noted that Duke has been very clear for years with the Chinese government that it would not begin an academic program unless there is academic freedom. Each curriculum is chosen by Duke faculty, not by the Ministry of Education in China.
"China is an interesting place," she said. "It is the right moment to be here because there is a lot of experimentation going on in China's own higher education. They are looking for reform and they are looking for models. They treat DKU as a new model, so it is a great way for us to demonstrate academic freedom."

La Canfora: A feeling Hasselbeck lands with Titans
Published: June 8th, 2011 | Tags: Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Locker, Jason La Canfora, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans
The locked-out offseason has afforded us many opportunities to connect the dots between pending free agents and their possible suitors. This is especially true when it comes to the quarterbacks expected to be available on the free-agent market.
Among them is Matt Hasselbeck. The 13-year veteran could return to the Seahawks, but he also is often linked to the Titans, who many believe will add a stop-gap veteran quarterback to start in front of rookie first-round pick Jake Locker and Rusty Smith.
Although some view Kerry Collins as the best option for the Titans, Hasselbeck has ties to the organization, and NFL Network information man Jason La Canfora sees Tennessee as a solid option if he doesn't return to Seattle.
"I have a feeling maybe Hasselbeck lands in Tennessee when all is said and done," La Canfora told fans during his live chat. "(The) market for him will be soft both in terms of quantity and quality of the offers out there, but we'll find out for sure after the lockout."

I recently started working at a local bakery. They use a french buttercream and I'm having a heck of a time getting it smooth on my cakes. I use a crusting buttercream at home and their buttercream does not crust. I don't know the exact recipe they use because I have not been taught yet how to make it, but I do know it contains butter and a simple syrup. I think it also includes shortening, but not sure because wouldn't that make it crust?
Anyway, I am looking for any helpful hints anyone can give me to help me with my smoothing. Viva towels are out, obviously, I really wouldn't be able to use a hot spatula either. I'm such a perfectionist and I hate how my cakes are turning out! I can bring my own tools. Any suggestions?
Shortening wouldn't make a french buttercream crust.
Crusting in an American buttercream is related to the ratios of powdered sugar, fat, and liquid.
Generally, a butter based buttercream can be smoothed beautifully with a warmed spatula/bench scraper.
I usually use a hot spatula at home for my crusting buttercream, but I work next to my stove. I'm not close to anything at work to get my spatula hot. Anyone else have any smoothing/tool recommendations?
You can dip the spatula in a bowl of hot water, quickly wipe it dry, & smooth.
You can hook up a hot pad next to where you're decorating, put a paper towel on it, and heat the spatula on it as necessary.
Can you put a container of hot hot water and a drying towel next to your work area and use 2 spatulas. One would stay in the hot water while you use the other one. Then you would switch out when one cooled off too much? The spatulas wouldn't get as warm as they would over a stove but if the water is hot enough it should work okay.
Or maybe use a heating pad turned up on high (remove the original cloth cover and use a clean kitch towel on it instead). just fold the heating pad over the spatulas to warm them.
Thank you! I will definitely try both suggestions.

The Madrid armory is one of the most complete in the world. As you enter the immense hall, your heart gives a leap, the blood surges through your veins, and you stand as motionless at the portal as one who has lost his reason. An entire army of cavalry, clad in armor, with swords in their hands, lances in rest, gleaming and formidable, dash toward you like a legion of specters. It is an army of emperors, kings, dukes, in the most superb armor that has ever issued from the hands of man, upon which falls a torrent of light from eighteen enormous windows, and this draws from the metal a gleam of rays, sparks, and colors that fairly make one giddy.
The walls are covered with cuirasses, helmets, bows, guns, swords, halberds, tournament lances, immense muskets, and gigantic lances, which reach from the floor to the ceiling; from the ceiling hang the banners of all the armies of the world, trophies of Lepanto, San Quintino, the War of the Independence, and those of Africa, Cuba, and Mexico; on every side there is a profusion of glorious ensigns, illustrious arms, marvelous works of art, effigies, emblems, and immortal names. One does not know where to begin to admire, and runs, at first, here and there, looking at every thing, and seeing nothing, and really weary be-fore having fairly commenced one's task. In the center of the hall is the equestrian armor, with horses and cavaliers ranged in a row, by twos and threes, all turning in the same direction, like the column of a squadron; and one distinguishes, at first sight, among others, the armors of Philip II., Charles V., Philibert Emanuel, and Christopher Columbus.
Here and there, on pedestals, one sees helmets, casques, morions, collars, and bucklers, belonging to the kings of Arragon, Castile, and Navarre, finished in fine relief of silver, representing battles, scenes from mythology, symbolical figures, trophies, and grotesque garlands; some of them of inestimable value, the work of the most distinguished artists of Europe; others of strange shapes, overladen with ornaments, tufts, vizors, and colossal crests; then small helmets and cuirasses of young princes, together with swords and shields, donated by popes and monarchs. In the midst of the equestrian armor, one sees statues clothed in the fantastic costumes of Indians, Africans, and Chinese, ornamented with feathers and bells, with bows and quivers; frightful warlike masks; costumes of mandarins of woven gold and silk.
Along the walls are other pieces of armor; that of the Marquis of Pescara, the poet Garcilaso of Vega, the Marquis of Santa Cruz, the gigantic one of Frederick the Magnanimous, Duke of Saxony; and among one and another Arabian, Persian, and Moorish banners, that are falling to pieces. In the glass cases is a collection of swords, which make you shudder when you hear the names of those who wielded them: such as those belonging to the Prince of Conde, Isabella the Catholic, Philip II., Ferdinand Cortes, the Count Duke of Olivares, John of Austria, Gonzalez of Cordova, Pizarro, the Cid; and, a little farthcr on, are the helmet of King Boabdil of Granada, the buckler of Francis I., and the camp-chair of Charles V. In a corner of the room are ranged the trophies of the Ottoman armies; helmets studded with gems, spurs, gilded stirrups, the collars of slaves, daggers, scimetars in velvet sheaths, circlets of gold, embroidered and covered with pearls; the spoils of Ali Pasha, who was killed on the flagship, at the battle of Lepanto; his caftan of gold and silver brocade, his belt, sandals, and shield; the spoils of his sons, and the banners torn from the galleys.
On another side are votive crowns, crosses, and necklaces, belonging to Gothic princes. In another compartment are objects taken from the Indians of Mariveles, the Moors of Cagayan and Mindano, and from savages of the most distant oceanic islands; such as necklaces of snail shells, pipes of wooden idols, reed flutes, ornaments made from the feet of insects, slaves' robes made of palm leaves, written leaves which served as safeguards, poisoned arrows, and executioners hatchets. And then, on every side one turns, there are the saddles of kings, coats of mail, culverins, historical drums, sashes, inscriptions, mementos and images of all times and countries, from the fall of the Goths to the battle of Teuan, from Mexico to China; a collection of treasures and masterpieces, which one leaves dazed, moved, and exhausted, to return to self-consciousness later (as if coming out of a dream), with one's memory wearied and confused.
If on some future day a great Italian poet shall desire to sing of the discovery of the new world, in no place can he obtain more powerful inspiration than in the Naval Museum of Madrid, because in no place does one feel more deeply the virginal atmosphere of the wild America and the mysterious presence of Columbus. There is a room called the cabinet of the discoverers; the poet, on entering it, if he really possess the soul of a poet, will uncover his head in reverence. In whatever portion of the room the eye falls, one sees some image that stirs the heart ; one is no longer in Europe, nor in the present century, but in the America of the fifteenth century; one breaths that air, sees those places, and feels that life.
In the center is a trophy of arms taken from the natives of the discovered territory; shields covered with the skins of wild beasts, javelins of cane with plumed notches, wooden sabers in osier scabbards, their hilts ornamented with manes and hair falling in Iong bunches; canes, poles, and enormous clubs, great swords indented like a saw, shapeless scepters, gigantic quivers, clothes of monkey skin, daggers of kings and executioners, arms belonging to the savages of Cuba, Mexico, New Caledonia, the Carolinas, and the most remote islands of the Pacific, black, strange and horrible, which awaken in one's mind confused visions of terrible struggles, in the mysterious obscurity of virginal forests, within interminable labyrinths of unknown trees.
Round about these spoils of a savage country are the images and mementos of the conquerers; here the portrait of Columbus; there, that of Pizarro; beyond, that of Ferdinand Cortes; on one wall the map of America, drawn by Giovanni de la Cosa, during the second voyage of the Genoese, on a broad canvas covered with figures, colors, and signs, which were intended to serve as a guide for the expeditions into the interior of the territories; near the canvas is a piece of the tree under which the conqueror of Mexico reposed during the famous "bitter night," after he had opened his path through the immense army which awaited him in the valley of Otumba; then a vase taken from the trunk of the tree near which the celebrated Captain Cook died; imitations of boats, barks, and rafts used by the savages; a collection of portraits of illustrious navigators.
Then, in the middle portion, there is a large picture which represents the three ships of Christopher Columbus-the "Nina," the "Pinta," and the "Santa Maria," at the moment in which American soil appears, and all the sailors, erect on the poops, waving their arms, and uttering loud cries, salute the new world and give thanks to God. There are no words which express the emotion that one experiences at the sight of that spectacle, nor tears worth that which trembles in one's eye at that instant, nor human soul which, in that moment, does not feel itself more grand!

It's all a dizzying Disney array of talent in this musical based on the surprise Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel movie that channels the good, the bad and the very ugly of what it means to be a standout jock — or a stick-in-the-mud jerk — at a time in life when sharing popcorn with the high-school hero or popping pimples alone in the house can be separated by just an overactive oil gland.
Remember waiting for that first school buss? If you interpret BMOC as big mope on Clearasil, well, then, that pass you've just made is probably for a bathroom break, not at a girl.
High times in "High School"? As Frankie would say on "American Bandstand," it's a 95, and you can dance to it.
Weiss is certainly a whiz at doing just that. On the Disney dance floor, she's the wallflower who blossoms big time, much like she stomped on the college boards on her way to UC at Irvine.
She's a No. 1 actress at playing a No. 2 pencil of a nerd. But, she's discovered, three's a charm — Weiss is one of triplets, a perfect trifecta of performers.
"It was very competitive being part of triplets; I felt much like the third banana," she attests.
But one not lacking in appeal. Indeed, she and her sister Sara did their own doubleheader as a duo, playing Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum in a kids' production of "Alice in Wonderland."
Wonder where Ryan was? Their brother later took his own place upon the wicked stage, starring on Broadway in "Wicked."
Over the Weight
Meanwhile, Weiss weighs in on what it means to be a heavyset high-schooler with an abundance of confidence: Her Martha Cox, a cock-sure curriculum buster?
That's the rap — and the hip-hop. She's so over the weight: "She's a heavier girl who doesn't care what people think."
And think on this: She's a hip-hopper with moves that would make 50 Cent ask for change of a dullard.
Indeed, at one time, Weiss was up for a big part in Broadway's "Hairspray," one which eventually went to Marissa Winokur, and is now being assayed by Nikki Blonsky on screen.
But not getting the role of Tracy Turnblad didn't turn out too badly for Weiss, who "used one of Tracy's songs to audition for this show."
Hip to be happy, Lizzie Weiss?
Hop to it: "It's a comedic thing," says the Jewish dancer with Jew-jitsu moves on the dance floor.
"I do all the moves — the Sprinkler, the Chest Pump — it's what I use for humor."
But don't humor her by saying she's "awright" as she gets down in her get-up; Weiss wisely took classes in hip-hop before bouncing up on stage where the Brainiacs and the Jocks bring it on.
Give her an "O," give her a "Y" — and don't forget the Brainiacs also must put up with the Cheerleaders, which the creators of this lively show cheeringly remind one and all.
But then, live on stage has never been a daunting matter for Weiss, who first staged an assault on her living room for practice.
"We all got up and performed," she says of the triplets and her two other siblings.
Five waltzing Weisses? What were they — the Von Trapezoid Family?
"We have videos — that are hysterical — of all of us in costumes."
Where is your Moses now? Probably at the seder table, where the Weiss kids were want to perform. No bitter Herbs at this table; too busy being entertained.
After all, giving happiness is a mitzvah unto itself. Entrance, Ark left: "Some kids wrote speeches; we wrote a play for our B'nai Mitzvot," she says of the three of them beaming at the bimah in triplicate.
Can't duplicate that experience, she says now. And it's left a meaningful and wonderful impact on her, as have her early lessons singing at the synagogue, where, in the horse race that is show business, Lizzie Weiss got an early gallop of a start as a cantor.
Chai school?
"It was at my temple where I was first recognized as a singer," she says of those wise enough to find the potential in Weiss.
Which led to her studying cantorial singing with her chazzans, and "learning liturgy and music" — all this would serve her first and foremost importantly as a member of the synagogue's family choir during the High Holidays, and then in her role as the temple's junior cantor.
She had some serious senior thoughts about doing it for good: "It's still a possibility."
From High Holidays to "High School Musical" to high times ahead.
"Well," she says, "you have to be up on stage for 21/2 hours" in the Disney show.
"And what prepares you better for that than a 21/2-hour service," she says of going from shul to showtime.

Trainer Derek Cruz says Joy And Fun has "nothing left to prove" and will be retired after Saturday's US$1million Al Quoz Sprint - a race fellow Hong Kong-trained runner Eagle Regiment seems increasingly likely to miss for the second straight year.
While nine-year-old Joy And Fun has travelled extensively and has survived multiple career-threatening injuries, he is thriving ahead of his swansong - as the relatively young Eagle Regiment flails.
Eagle Regiment will be given until this morning to overcome a hoof injury, but his chances of running seem slim after his condition had failed to improve yesterday. While the injury to his horse's near fore hoof wasn't serious from a long-term perspective, trainer Manfred Man Ka-leung admitted it would be difficult to get it right by raceday.
"It's a time factor. If the race was on Sunday or Monday he would be fine but Saturday makes it harder," Man said yesterday morning.
"It's nothing serious and he's been treated but we don't know if he will make the race. He's very sensitive on his near fore hoof after a small injury there."
Emirates Racing Authority veterinary steward David Sykes said there hadn't been much change in the condition of Eagle Regiment.
"He wasn't any worse, but he wasn't any better, it's just a waiting game," he said.
Making Man's job more difficult is the fact he cannot use anti-inflammatories between now and the race, and staff are treating the horse around the clock with poultices and soaking the hoof in warm salty water.
"They're just trying to improve the circulation and let the anti-inflammatories do their work," said Sykes, whose official inspection this morning will determine whether Eagle Regiment will take his place in the field.
"There's no obvious outward signs of the injury - just some heat and bruising. They're talking about maybe changing his shoeing, so maybe that will help him too."
Meanwhile, Joy And Fun's preparation has been perfect for a race he contested twice previously; he won in 2010 when it was classified as a Group Three in 2010, and finished an unlucky third last year - the first time it had been upgraded to Group One status.
"He is the same body weight as last year and just loves it here," Cruz said. "He'll run great. If he can break better than last year he can be in the frame again."
Even with a good run or win here, Joy And Fun's last two runs have been disappointing and Cruz feels the timing might be right to end the career of a horse he maintains is the "best I have trained ... easily". "He will go back to a nice paddock in New Zealand," he said.
John Moore's Golden Shaheen contender Frederick Engels will have a key gallop on the Tapeta this morning, as his improving condition pleased his trainer three days out from the US$2 million Group One.
Moore said Frederick Engels had lost between 20 and 25 pounds during his flight to Dubai, but would put most of that back on before raceday. "He has settled in well, he licked his bin out last night, and he will be back to close to his normal weight for the race," Moore said.

I've got a Compaq Ipaq H3650... 32Mb of RAM, color screen, etc.
My problem is that I can't keep the battery recharged for longer than about a day, whether I'm using it or not.
Anyone else ever had problems like this? Is this normal? If not, and I try to get some money back for the thing (I bought a replacement-plan thingie with the device) what should I be looking to replace it? Pricerange is ~ $300
Comments are welcome, thanks!

Pudong, Shanghai, China, 2012/01/12 - Automating cleanroom processes will enable more manufactures to improve productivity, reduce cycle times and decrease manufacturing costs - ABB.com. NYSE: ABB
ABB has launched an ISO 5 (Class 100) Cleanroom version of its smallest ever multipurpose industrial robot, the compact, agile and lightweight six-axis IRB 120. The new model has had all materials prone to particle generation modified to eliminate the potential for contamination of the manufacturing area and the components being processed.
Speaking about the new Cleanroom version, Nicolas De Keijser, Product Manager for ABBs small robots, comments,In the development of our fourth-generation of multipurpose robots, we recognised a demand for a fast and compact robot that could work in the stringent cleanroom environments that are typically found in electronics, solar and medical industries". The IRB 120 Cleanroom variant has been tested and certified by the independent Fraunhofer-IPA institute as Clean Room ISO 5 (Class 100)
This agile robot is prepared with specially painted smooth surfaces and has unmatched accuracy while performing very short cycle times, and in certain conditions can achieve ISO 4 (Class 10) Cleanroom requirements. It can also be mounted at any angle, either in a cell, on top of a machine or close to other robots on the manufacturing line.
The robot comes with the ABB IRC5 Compact control bringing all the benefits of the world leading robot controller. This includes superior path motion, user friendly FlexPendant programming, RobotStudio offline programming, flexible RAPID language and powerful communication capabilities.
De Keijser concludes While certain industries have suffered under the recent challenging economic conditions, those involved in cleanroom manufacturing continue to grow. We want to support those industries to ensure we help them realize the clear benefits available from robotic technology. The IRB 120 Cleanroom is a cost-effective and reliable choice for generating high production outputs in return for a minimal investment.
The new robot and the IRC5 controller are fully supported by the ABB Robotics global sales and service organization in 53 countries and over 100 locations.

"Every school should have a Mr Bonnington" - Aylsham High School teaching assistant wins national award
PUBLISHED: 13:10 22 October 2012
A north Norfolk teaching assistant credited with having "literally saved lives" has been named the best in the country at the national teaching awards.
David Bonnington has worked at Aylsham High School for the past six years after a career change brought on by redundancy.
Last night he was named Teaching Assistant of the Year at the prestigious UK Pearson Teaching Awards in London, having already won the regional accolade earlier this year.
The award was presented by Norwich-born television presenter Jake Humphrey, whose parents are both former teachers.
Judges said Mr Bonnington had taken to the job "like a duck to water" and had prevented a number of young people from dropping out of school, being excluded, and failing to achieve.
They added: "Aylsham has seen the value in him and had the wisdom to let him loose. He has literally saved lives."
Mr Bonnington, who is in his 50s and originally from Sheffield, was nominated by North Walsham-based charity The Benjamin Foundation which was struck by his willingness to go the extra mile for the young people he worked with.
Comments from his students included "nothing is too much trouble and he never breaks a promise to do something" while colleagues said "every school should have a Mr Bonnington".
One mother told judges her son, who had previously been branded "unmanageable" after being excluded from every school he had attended, had been transformed by the teaching assistant.
The student, who has Asperger's syndrome, is now making the most of his talents and is succeeding academically.
One of Mr Bonnington's most successful initiatives at Aylsham High has been the creation of his much-praised inclusion area.
The Link Room is described as a vibrant learning space where students feel secure. It is a half-way house, helping to re-introduce students back to lessons, with an "eternally positive" atmosphere thanks to displays and messages on the walls.
Aylsham High headteacher Duncan Spalding said: "David has created an amazing learning space where some of our most vulnerable learners feel at home and begin to thrive in school. There are children whose lives have been transformed in terms of their behaviour and achievement.
"His calm way of working and patient approach reaps huge rewards."
And his support also goes beyond the classroom. Mr Bonnington throws himself into the life of the school, building sets for drama and music productions and encouraging his students to help out at the end of the school day.
Last night's Pearson Teaching Award, which took place at the Victoria Palace Theatre, recognised inspirational people and teams working at the country's schools and colleges.
Eight awards were handed out with three winners in the East of England. Outstanding New Teacher of the Year went to Liz Bailey, of Clacton County High School in Essex, while Oxley Park Academy, in Milton Keynes, was named Outstanding School Team.

Dictionaries were put out in large quantities, so, like Bibles - they often do not have great value - & this is damaged. However, as an unabridged dictionary, it might have some value as a reference & even as a collectible - but don't get your hopes up!
