Avid Helps Dolby Introduce Dolby Atmos to Audio Pros and Audiences
When Dolby introduced Dolby Atmos, its next generation of cinema audio technology, in April 2012, the company promised "an entirely powerful and dramatic new listening experience…with sound that truly envelops you and allows you to hear the whole picture." The potential for Dolby Atmos to become the next big thing for filmmakers—as well as the most immersive audio experience yet for moviegoers—is without question. The challenge was figuring out how to help filmmakers incorporate the new technology into their projects.
Because Pro Tools and Avid Pro Mixing consoles are audio standards at post-production facilities worldwide, Dolby didn't want to change the established workflows audio post professionals trust and rely on daily. And it didn't want to add any complexity that could impact production schedules. That's why the Dolby Atmos development team partnered with Avid to find a way to integrate the new technology into the same workflow and ensure that everything operated seamlessly.
Bridging Pro Tools with Dolby Atmos
Working together, Avid and Dolby decided that the easiest and most efficient way for audio professionals to work with Dolby Atmos was to have them access the technology directly in Pro Tools by way of a Dolby Atmos Panner AAX plug-in. This plug-in is available in AAX Native format, enabling anyone with Pro Tools 10 or later—including Pro Tools|HD users—to use it.
"When you introduce a new sound format like Dolby Atmos, it is essential that you make the tools as simple as possible to enable sound experts the creative freedom to place sound anywhere," explains David Gould, senior product manager at Dolby. "Dolby understands the needs and preferences of all stakeholders in the cinema industry, and rapid adoption of Dolby Atmos stems from our ability to deliver a solution that is compatible with Pro Tools and Apple products used by content creators around the globe."
The Dolby Atmos Panner plug-in works in concert with Pro Tools and Dolby's outboard Rendering and Mastering Unit (RMU), which provides the rendering engine for the mix stage, plus tools for room configuration, management, and print mastering. Audio mixers can simply access the Panner in Pro Tools, take control of up to 128 simultaneous audio objects, and creatively place and move sound everywhere.
"Designers can interface with the Dolby Atmos system from within Pro Tools, so they're staying within a workflow with which they're familiar," Gould stresses. "There are discrete outputs from Pro Tools into the Dolby RMU. The plug-in interface talks to the RMU via direct network connection. All the panning work takes place via the plug-in."
In addition, the RMU can drive up to 64 discrete speaker feeds, enabling unprecedented sound placement control and movement anywhere in the movie theater—not just wherever there happens to be speakers. For post houses with Pro Tools 11, audio mixers can record and automate audio stems simultaneously—on the same channel—using the Dolby Atmos Panner, saving tons of time.
Dolby Atmos hits the big screen
Avid's and Dolby's efforts to ensure the most efficient workflow, seamless interoperation, and a dynamic audio experience have paid off big time for filmmakers and audio pros. In the short time since its introduction, Dolby Atmos has been used on some of the highest profile films of 2012 and 2013. Within one year of launch, over 40 titles globally have featured or will be released with Dolby Atmos sound. In addition, approximately 200 screens globally have installed Dolby Atmos systems worldwide, with many more expected in the later half of 2013 and beyond.
"Brave from Disney-Pixar was the first movie to use Dolby Atmos," Gould recalls, "and that was mixed by multiple Academy Award-winner Gary Rydstrom and multiple Academy Award-nominated Will Files on an Avid D-Control console at Skywalker Sound. Taken 2 followed Brave and was mixed on an Avid System 5 with Pro Tools|HD. Life of Pi and Chasing Mavericks were next andmixed at Fox on ICON D-Control surfaces in the Zanuck theater."
In addition to these, there are currently over 20 post-production facilities around the globe equipped with the Pro Tools/Dolby Atmos workflow—including Park Road Post, Warner Bros, Technicolor at Paramount, Pinewood Studios, and Todd-AO—with more expected to offer this new level of surround sound soon.
Provide an easy way for filmmakers and audio post professionals to integrate the new Dolby Atmos technology into their projects without changing workflows or disrupting the production schedule.
Avid worked with Dolby to integrate Dolby Atmos directly into the Pro Tools workflow as an AAX plug-in, enabling mixers to create and control both surround and Dolby Atmos mixes right from Pro Tools and an Avid Pro Mixing console or control surface.

Whisenhunt: Quentin Groves to have 'bigger role'
In their last game against the Green Bay Packers, the Cardinals lost outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield for the season with an ankle injury.
Schofield's absence will give back-up linebackers like Quentin Groves the opportunity to prove they are starter material.
"I think he has done a good job in what we have asked him to do and he contributed in a big area on special teams, which is what you have to do at that role," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said of Groves's play.
Groves, who was drafted in second round by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008, is expected to get the majority of the playing time at Schofield's spot on Sunday.
"This week will be a little bit bigger for him because he will get more snaps and we will get a chance to see how he has adapted," Whisenhunt said. "To come in and learn this defense and play outside linebacker, that is what you work hard in the offseason to try to find guys who can do that, and he has done a good job of that so far."
Fourth year linebacker Jamaal Westerman and rookie Zack Nash might also see a jump in playing time with Schofield out.
"In this league you have to go in and play and you have to be successful with maybe not getting all the reps," Whisnehunt said. "When you are not the starter, that is what your job is. Hopefully those guys can do it.
"If you can do it in those situations, that's the guys that are going to get jobs, keep jobs and become better players. You work hard in the offseason to put players in position to do that and at some point you got to put them in there. You got to fish or cut bait."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

|Middle States Accreditation Self-Study
Every ten years, the University is subject to a review of its accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. We are now at the start of that process. It will entail the development of a self-study report, work on which has begun and will continue into the next two academic years, and visits by an evaluation team in the fall of 2013 and in April 2014. This is an important event in the life of an institution: a time to examine its goals and programs, to obtain advice and validation from peers at other institutions, and to seek public reaffirmation by its regional accrediting agency.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of the Steering Committee which will guide our self-study process and also to announce that, as he did in 2004 for our last Middle States Self-Study, Norman Dorsen, Counselor to the President and Stokes Professor of Law, has agreed to chair this effort.
Although many institutions, particularly small colleges, engage in a comprehensive self-study, large institutions like NYU use a format which Middle States calls the selected topics approach. Both approaches rely primarily on faculty. Our self-study will focus on multi-school programs. Given the increasing interdisciplinarity of knowledge, it is essential to our overall academic enterprise to examine how we integrate our educational offerings and research activities. The work of the Steering Committee, and the working groups that will participate in the self-study, will be of key importance as we develop plans for the future of NYU and shape its programs to meet challenges to come.
The members of the Steering Committee are:
|Norman Dorsen, Professor of Law, School of Law, Self-Study Chair
|Barnett W. Hamberger, Assistant Provost, Self-Study Coordinator
|Nina Cornyetz, Associate Professor, Gallatin School of Individualized Study
|Martin Daughtry, Assistant Professor of Music, Faculty of Arts & Science
|Randall Deike, Vice President of Enrollment Management
|André A. Fenton, Professor of Neuroscience, Faculty of Arts & Science
|Tracey Gardner, Chief of Staff, Wagner School of Public Service
|Ingrid Gould Ellen, Professor of Urban Planning and Public Policy, Wagner School of Public Service
|Lisa Gitelman, Associate Professor of Media and English, Steinhardt School
|Heather Herrera, Director of Academic Affairs, Steinhardt School
|Anthony Jiga, Vice President, Budget and Planning
|Yann LeCun, Professor of Computer Science, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
|Jacques Lezra, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature, Faculty of Arts & Science
|Mary E. Northridge, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Health Promotion, College of Dentistry
|James Pace, Clinical Associate Professor, Associate Dean, College of Nursing
|Cybele Raver, Vice Provost for Academic, Faculty and Research Affairs
|Carol Shoshkes Reiss, Professor of Biology, Faculty of Arts & Science
|Elizabeth Rohlfing, Assistant Dean of Planning, School of Law

Klipsch LA SCALA II CHERRY (Black/Cherry Wood)
3-Way Cherry Heritage Series Floorstanding Speaker
If you long for the long-gone days when it was acceptable for a speaker to be big as a truck, the newly redesigned La Scala II from Klipsch will be sweet music to your decibel-damaged ears. A timeless classic, the original La Scala was an engineering breakthrough when it was first introduced. Its big brother, the legendary Klipschorn, set the industry standard for high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, smooth frequency response, and powerful bass; the La Scala did the same thing, only in a comparably "portable" package. The technology of this three-way, horn-loaded loudspeaker is as valid today as it was 60 years ago. The definition of "portable," on the other hand, has become somewhat dated.

A great book for people who make guitars or just like understand about making guitars. I made 17 guitars this year and I wish i would have had this book before I started building. A real time saver with tons of hints to help any one who wants be a guitar maker.
Probably the most useful book if you want to build your own electric guitar (or bass). I started with the intention of building a Gibson Explorer replica, but now thanks to this book I'm into a completely original project (inspired by the Explorer, in any case). It can show you several tricks, and it guides you through the project and design phase, that is one of the most important phases of electric guitar manufacturing. You will avoid lots of mistakes!
the best for reference. :)
Great Book! I recommend it. Building my first guitar, it shows a lot of mistakes and tips for a beginner.
I love the book, it helped me a lot with certain details in my guitar project!!!
I used this book as a guide to design a bass guitar for my son. It has been a great resource, and has saved us a huge amount of time by simplifying the process, and has helped ovoid many potential pitfalls that can occur when designing an instrument from scratch.
An invaluable book for someone wanting to build a custom electric. Information is clear and concise. The price seems initially high but the information can save you from time-wasting trial and error. The chapter on setting the neck angle alone is worth the money if you are a beginner.
this book is good for the novice builder who wants to design a guitar from scratch.also good for someone with experince building guitars to get another person veiw on how they go about designing guitars.
Lots of good things in here! Will help avoid alot of mistakes in designing guitars. All sorts of helpful ideas and tips to put in your head.
I just finished reading it. I loved reading this book, and Leo even adds a little humor here and there. This book is a great investment in my opinion, an essential to add to your collection.

Dave Holland: A Giant, and Still Growing
Playing to the strength of bandmates wasn't uniquely Davis, says Holland, but "Miles certainly was a master of being able to give enough guidance and not too much. Give direction, but still allow the musicians the freedom to explore their own creative ideas. I think that way you get the most personal and most meaningful contribution coming from everybody. And I extend that also to the composing skills of the musicians too. When there are musicians in the band who are also fine composers, it's great to have the opportunity to play their music and their concept of what a compositional setting could be for the band. It gives us some other opportunities and other options, musically."
As a bassist, Holland said he was first influenced by the great Ray Brown and Leroy Vinegar, but "there are a lot of other bass players and non-bass players that have been important to me and influential."
Still, it took time to find them. In northern England where he grew up, he only heard what was on the radio, which was pop and the beginnings of rock and roll. "I used to listen to the radio a lot and pick out things I heard on that. I played the ukulele when I was 4 years old. I just learned a few chords on it. Then I used to sit at the piano and pick out ideas there," he said. "A lot of it was the self-discovery of music, as much as anything. I had a few people show me a little bit. My uncle showed me some chords on the ukulele, and I had a few piano lessons briefly. But my main development started when I met some other guitar players at a youth club I was going to when I was about 13."
He joined a band playing hits of the day, as a guitarist, and then "we decided the band didn't sound right without a bassist, so I volunteered to get a bass guitar. I started listening to bass guitar and bass players at that point."
Soon after, he was turned on to Brown and Vinegar and practiced with their records, hearing the sounds of jazz.
"I turned professional when I was 15. I started left school and started playing professionally on bass guitar then switched to acoustic bass when I was 17. I got offered a job with a dance band playing a summer season in the north of England. I practiced a lot. I'm not saying there wasn't a lot of time spent on the music. I'm just saying that the process wasn't formal. I had a lot of teachers, but they were mostly musicians that I knew, it wasn't formal teachers at a school. After I started playing acoustic bass I moved to London and started studying with a classical bass teacher privately, once a week. Then I applied to the school for a three-year course, full-time. I was there from 65 to 68 at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama."
He also learned at Ronnie Scott's. where he would encounter touring jazz musicians like Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins, as well as playing with London's most innovative artists, including John McLaughlin, John Surman, Kenny Wheeler, Chris McGregor, Evan Parker. After the call from Miles, he participated in some of the seminal recordings of the era, like Filles de Kilimanjaro, In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and Live at the Fillmore.
Holland's career blossomed and he found work with a catalog of jazz greats, but it has really come into focus with this band of special musicians. While all the musicians are outstanding, young Kilson on drums has a special talent. He's an astounding drummer, polyrhythmic, fluid, funky, fast and exotic. He pushes the music special places, provides beats for the soloists and the musical concept, at once and separately. It seems like more than one drummer to hear him, but to watch his smooth, dance-like movements behind the trap set, it seems so easy. It appears as though Holland has found his Philly Joe or Tony Williams.
"He's definitely, of his generation, on of the great drummers and percussionists that we have at the moment," says Holland. "I certainly think he takes his place in the tradition of great drummers that have brought a unique approach to the music. He's an exceptional musician."

Rebel Oil – Las Vegas, Nevada
BetaLED canopy luminaires for gas station and convenience store
In one-for-one replacement of sixteen 320-watt metal halide fixtures with 106-watt BetaLED recessed canopy luminaires (operating at 525mA), Rebel Oil's Tropicana Avenue location achieved a 71-percent energy savings. The retrofit from surface-mount canopy luminaires to 60-LED recessed canopy luminaires using a retrofit plate has done more than just reduce energy – it's saving money.
Additional benefits beyond the visible improvement of light output include cost-savings associated with nearly no maintenance from long-life LED performance and eco-friendly elimination of hazardous mercury disposal found in traditional light sources like metal halide fixtures.
BetaLED recessed canopy luminaires provide a flush appearance and are easy to mount from below or above the canopy deck. Upgrading petroleum canopy lighting to state-of-the-art BetaLED luminaires is simple using one of three retrofit kit options.
Las Vegas-based Rebel Oil Company is a privately held petroleum retailer with store locations throughout the state of Nevada.
Circle K retrofit installations at five Columbus, Indiana locations deliver energy-saving results.
Texaco station finds BetaLED a logical lighting choice.
Lighting mandates achieved with impressive energy savings and quick payback.
BetaLED comparison shows clear performance advantage.
Smart lighting decision yields big energy savings.
First all-LED petroleum station installation sees unmistakable improvements.

Hy Paul,
I sent you a mail,
I've read that the Seattle area averages only 3.7 peak sun-hours per day. Maybe that's true in December, but April through October, I'd say it must be more like 10 to 12 hours a day, meaning that the average must be higher than 3.7 hours per day throughout the year. How are peak sun-hours determined?
Jeff Huffman • Brier, Washington
Excellent question! "Peak sun-hours" are not the same as "hours of sunlight." Sunrise to sunset represents hours of sunlight. But peak sun-hours describe how much solar energy is available during a day.
The daily amount of solar radiation striking any location on earth varies from sunrise to sunset due to clouds, the sun's position in the sky, and what's mixed into the atmosphere. Maximum solar radiation occurs at solar noon—the time when the sun is highest in the sky, compared to the rest of the day. Sunlight in the morning and evening does not deliver as much energy to the earth's surface as it does at midday because at low angles more atmosphere filters the sunlight. Besides day-to-day differences, there are also seasonal effects. In midsummer, due to the sun's higher position in the sky, an hour of sunshine packs more energy than the same hour of sunshine in the winter.
A peak sun-hour is roughly the amount of solar energy striking a 1-square-meter area perpendicular to the sun's location over a 1-hour period straddling solar noon in the summertime. So we can compare apples to apples, the amount of power is standardized at 1,000 watts (1 kilowatt) hitting that 1-square meter surface. By adding up the various amounts of solar irradiation over the course of a day, and counting them as units equivalent to 1 solar-noon midsummer hour (1,000 watts per square meter for 1 hour), we get a useful comparison number—the peak sun-hour.
An analogy might help complete the picture. Imagine that you have to pour sunshine into buckets that are 1 meter square, and each holds 1,000 watt-hours of solar energy. The fastest rate of filling that bucket will occur at solar noon in the summer, when the sunlight is really streaming down. At that time, you could fill a 1,000-watt-hour bucket in 1 hour (1 KWH per hour). At any other time of the day, however, it will take longer than 1 hour to get an equivalent "bucket" of 1 peak sun-hour.
On average, summertime Seattle conditions will net you 4.8 peak sun-hour-equivalents from sunup to sundown. Wintertime sees an average of about 2.5 sun-hours per day. Over the course of a year, the daily average works out to about 3.76 peak sun-hours. For month-by-month solar irradiation information for a variety of cities in the United States, visit http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/pubs/redbook.

Author, lecturer and guide, John Anthony West delivered a seismic shock to archaeology in the early 1990's when he and Boston University geologist Robert Schoch revealed that the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion. Such erosion could only mean that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5000 BC.

Altidore continues to quiet doubters, more Americans Abroad
Jozy Altidore's two goals Saturday had to make the U.S. national team technical staff crack a smile.
The finishes were not overwhelmingly glorious: into an empty net and a completion of a quick counterattack. The manner in which Altidore set himself up for the goals and the details in the build-up, though, were where the beauty could be found. Altidore also boosted his Dutch club, AZ Alkmaar, which was mired in a six-game winless streak. With a ball in the opening moments heading harmlessly back toward the PEC Zwolle goal, Altidore turned on the jets in the open field to outrace a lackadaisical defender who had a solid five-yard head start. Even after the Zwolle goalkeeper came out to halt Altidore's momentum and momentarily take the ball off his foot, the American striker stayed with the play to capitalize.
Altidore's positional sense and communication skills led to his second goal a half-hour later. Being cognizant of his place on the field, Altidore held his run while AZ was poised to pounce on the counter to ensure he was onside for the ensuing breakout. On top of that, he also gave a quick signal to point man Adam Maher at the top of the developing attacking triangle to pass to teammate Roy Beerens first in order to set up the textbook marauding run down the heart of the field. Those little details set the simple finish in motion, and for a player often criticized by outsiders for his lack of hustle, work rate and game sense, Altidore did well to quell those shouts while snapping a personal scoring drought that had stretched to four games.
Elsewhere among high-profile Americans, Tim Howard joined exclusive company by making his 200th straight start in the Premier League. The active leader in consecutive games played after Brad Friedel had his streak snapped earlier this season, Howard joined his fellow American as the only two players to reach that landmark. One of his more dependable options in front of him on the national team, Carlos Bocanegra, also made news this week with his early return from a hamstring tear. The U.S. captain was supposed to miss six weeks with the injury suffered in international duty on Nov. 14, but he returned for Racing Santander over the weekend with plenty of time to reach maximum form and fitness ahead of the Feb. 6 World Cup qualifier against Honduras.
The three national team stalwarts highlighted the week that was for Americans playing abroad, with the rest of the contingent turning in a fairly quiet set of performances. Here is how they all fared (season statistics encompass all competitions):

What began as a simple video of a few guys in costume dancing to a techno beat has quickly turned into one the internet's latest viral memes.
This week alone, tens of thousands of people have uploaded their version of the "Harlem Shake" to YouTube, including cadets at the West Point Library, families across the country, and even the Today Show.
Inspired by the trend, the staff at Montellas Pub in Lansdale approached the Montgomery County Patch team with the idea to make our own "Harlem Shake" video while working through lunch, so naturally, we jumped on board.
In the video, you'll see the majority of the team seated as they enjoy lunch and work on their laptops. Suddenly, an all-too-familiar beat will play, and, well, – you know the rest.
Enjoy our stupidly funny video, and if any of our readers or local businesses have a version of their own, you can upload it here or we can feature it as a seperate item!

NEW YORK — Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.
In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people carried out rituals now as familiar as they are heartbreaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq.
President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacrifice of the Civil War. Vice President Joe Biden said hope must grow from tragedy.
And Jessica Rhodes talked about her niece, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggested that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner.
"Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends," Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero. "Today we honor her by letting go of the sadness over losing her and embracing the joy of having known her."
It was the 10th time the nation has paused to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life — and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack.
The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert. Ahead of the anniversary, the federal government warned those cities of a tip about a possible car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go through checkpoints.
The names of the fallen — 2,983 of them, including all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists set off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 — echoed across a place utterly transformed.
In the exact footprints of the two towers was a stately memorial - two great, weeping waterfalls, unveiled for the first time and, at least on the first day, open only to the relatives of the victims. Around the square perimeter of each were bronze parapets, etched with names.
Some of the relatives were dressed in funereal suits and others in fire department T-shirts. They traced the names with pencils and paper, and some left pictures or flowers, fitting the stems into the recessed lettering.
At the south tower pool, an acre in area and 30 feet deep, Mary Dwyer, of Brooklyn, remembered her sister, Lucy Fishman, who worked for Aon Corp., an insurance company that occupied seven floors near the very top.
"It's the closest I'll ever get to her again," she said.
One Sept. 11 relative pronounced the memorial breathtaking. An underground section and a museum won't open until next year, but for many of the families, the names were enough.
"It breaks me up," said David Martinez, who watched the attacks happen from his office in Manhattan, and later learned that he had lost a cousin and a brother, one in each tower.
At memorial services, people talked of grief and loss and war and justice. But they also talked of moving forward.
"Every year it becomes more significant," Barbara Gorman said at a service for the Port Authority dead, which included 37 police officers, one of them her husband, Thomas. "My kids are 25, 21, 18. They understand now. It's not so much a tragedy anymore as history, the history of our country."
In the decade between then and now, children have grown. The second-graders who were with Bush on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, will graduate high school next spring. And children who were in the cradle or the womb on that day are old enough to read names at the anniversary, old enough to bear the full burden of their grief.
"You will always be my hero," Patricia Smith, 12, said of her mother.
Nicholas Gorki remembered his father, "who I never met because I was in my mother's belly. I love you, Father. You gave me the gift of life, and I wish you could be here to enjoy it with me."

Fantasy Basketball Roundtable: LeBron James' fantasy production
by Jason on Oct.12, 2010, under Other
I'm happy to share that I'll be participating in this season's Fantasy Basketball Roundtable. I'm in some quite illustrious company:
- Ryan from LestersLegends.com
- Will from Rotoprofessor.com
- Eric from Rotoprofessor.com
- Nels from GiveMeTheRock.com
- Adam from Razzball.com
- Henry from WeakSideHelp.com
- Jeff from Damn Lies & Statistics
- Tom from Damn Lies & Statistics
- Tommy from HoopsWorld.com
- Justin from Life is Just a Fantasy … Baksetball Blog
- Nabate from RotoExperts
This week's roundtable is hosted by LestersLegends.com. The topic is: "How will LeBron's taking his talents to South Beach affect his fantasy production?"
Here's my take:
Thinking about LeBron's projected averages in 2010-11 is akin to playing ping-pong with myself. The optimistic side of me sees the caliber of teammates he has this season compared to what he had last season and can't help but to see the opportunities to expend less energy on scoring and more on crashing the boards, dishing the ball and defense. Then the pessimistic side of me kicks in with a scoff and thinks about how the Heat's offense won't be much faster than the one the Cavs ran and the distinct probability that James won't be dominating the ball nearly as often as he did in Cleveland, and there doesn't seem to be much hope for him improving his numbers much at all. All that, along with the possibility of a good fistful of blowouts in the Heat's favor this season and the consequential decline in minutes for James, seems to point to a bigger fall from fantasy stardom for the stud than most are expecting.
As much as I'd like to be bold and choose one side or the other, the reality will fall somewhere in between my splintered perspectives. I think James will play fewer than the 40+ minutes per game he's averaged in his first seven seasons in the league, but it won't matter too much since his time on the floor will be more efficient than the time he spent on the floor with the Cavs. With Wade and Bosh set to take a good number of shots, I expect many of James' passes to them will result in easy assists, and I anticipate that he'll be freed up to crash the boards more often.
James had four triple-doubles during the regular season in 2009-10. He'll more than double that number this season, but in terms of averages, I'm (whimsically) forecasting something in the neighborhoods of:
- Points: 20-24
- Rebounds: 7.5-9
- Assists: 8.5-9.5
- Threes: 1.5-2
- Steals: 1.6-2.1
- Blocks: 1.2-1.7
Even if he "only" notches the lower bounds of these projections, he'll still be a fantasy force worthy of a top-three pick. The X factor will be whether or not James can lift his free-throw percentage to above 80 percent for the first time in his career. I doubt that happens but if it does, and if James reaches averages closer to the upper bounds of the above projections, the No. 1 spot in the wonderful land of fantasy basketball will be his for the recouping. I might be naive, but I'm expecting fewer points, small boosts in rebounds and assists, and mostly unchanged output in other categories from James this season.

Great buy These gift boxes are beautiful. The only thing I would change is that it doesn't give you an option to change the back ground color on the stickers. It's white no matter what. It would be nice if we could have gotten the same color background on the stickers as the color of the box. Other than that they are a great size. We ordered the small "love notes" notebooks from here and it fits in these boxes and there's still plenty of room for candy and other small things. I love the bows. They were a tad bit of a challenge getting on the box. But it made a big difference in the look. I would highly recommend these to friends. It's a great buy. March 21, 2014

With Ray LaHood leaving the cabinet, will Antonio Villaraigosa have a job in the White House?
Alex Wong/Getty Images
Is Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa headed to Washington, D.C.? Ray LaHood's decision to step down as U.S. Transportation Secretary gives teeth to speculation that the mayor could join Obama's White House.
The White House announced Tuesday that U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will step down from his cabinet position. With that news, Los Angeles political insiders are wondering whether this could be Antonio Villaraigosa's big moment.
With the L.A. mayor in the home stretch of his second term, speculation continues as to what Villaraigosa will do next. His name is frequently mentioned for a possible cabinet position with the Obama Administration. Villaraigosa chaired the 2012 Democratic National Convention and spent the better part of the year traveling around the country to campaign for the president. He is a frequent guest on cable news and Sunday morning talk shows. And on July 1, he will be unemployed.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, the mayor sounded open to a move to Washington, D.C.
City employees line up for their annual picture with Mayor and Santa
Alice Walton/KPCC
It's an annual tradition at City Hall for the mayor to take pictures with city workers against the backdrop of the Christmas tree.
In the spirit of the holidays, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spent a recent morning at City Hall standing in front of a Christmas tree to take pictures with city employees and their families.
Hundreds of workers lined up near the rotunda to snap a photo with the mayor and Santa Claus. One person waiting was Isabelle Sanchez of the City Clerk's Elections Division. This was her first time meeting the mayor.
"I'm very excited. I just saw him right now because I passed by and it's nerve-racking but I'm looking forward to it," Sanchez said.
Another woman in line was Jameea Jones. She took off work and brought her three children to the event. Though her daughters were more excited about seeing Santa, Jones felt it was important for them to see the outgoing mayor.
"I think when they see his face they'll get it because they've seen his face on TV before so, I want to see the reaction," she said.
Villaraigosa: Reforms must be included with sales tax increase
Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa hasn't said yet whether he will support a sales tax increase. In a letter to the Los Angeles City Council, he said he wants to see seven commitments from members before he decides his position.
The Los Angeles City Council may decide Tuesday whether to ask voters to increase the city's sales tax, but it remains to be seen if the proposal will win the support of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
In a letter to the council, the mayor listed seven reforms he wants to see along with a tax increase that could help close Los Angeles' $216 million deficit:
- New management structure at the L.A. Zoo
- New management model at the Convention Center
- The elimination of 209 city workers
- Continued hiring of police officers
- Consolidation of street maintenance functions
- Establishment of economic development entity
- Pledge to maintain 5 percent of General Fund dollars in a reserve fund
"If we are going to ask the people of Los Angeles to vote for higher taxes, we must continue to cut spending, spur job creation, protect public safety and maintain fiscal discipline," the mayor wrote in his letter.
Mayor Villaraigosa headed to Brazil, Chile, Colombia on trade mission

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will travel to South America at the end of the month on a nine-day trip to promote trade and tourism.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa just got done traveling around the country on behalf of President Barack Obama's reelection campaign. Now he's breaking out his passport for another trip – a trade mission to Chile, Brazil and Colombia.
The mayor and executives from the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles World Airports and Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board will be in South America from Nov. 24 through Dec. 3.
"The future of Los Angeles is tied closely to our neighbors in South America," said Villaraigosa said. "As we strengthen and build our local economy, we must leverage our assets in this global marketplace to create jobs here in Los Angeles."
"With two previous trade missions, we worked to develop strong economic ties with Asia," Villaraigosa added. "Now, we're going to strength our relationships in South America to increase investment, trade and tourism in L.A."

With the presidential election down to the wire, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in Tampa and Florida Monday to campaign on behalf of President Barack Obama.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will campaign for President Barack Obama until the last minute before Tuesday's election, making final stops Monday in Tampa and Miami.
The mayor - who chaired the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina - has stumped in New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Iowa and Florida on the president's behalf. He also attended presidential debates in Colorado and New York.
Villaraigosa's schedule in Florida included interviews with CNN, MSNBC, Telemundo and Spanish-language radio. He also visited Obama campaign headquarters and a field office in Tampa.
"I think the biggest reason to vote for President Obama is that we have, what now, 31 straight months of growth," Villaraigosa told CNN. "The other reason is that 32 million people have health care and that 12 million jobs will be created, according to Moody's analytics, in the next four years if we keep charting the course ahead."
