Maria Sharapova vs. Li Na: Australian Open live analysis
What is it about Li Na and Australia? The 2011 Australian Open finalist played one of the best matches of her career to upset No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2 in the first women's semifinal on Thursday. While both players cruised into the match having not dropped a set, Li put the pressure on Sharapova quickly, breaking her in the first game of the match and never looked back. Sharapova, who had lost a mere nine games in the tournament coming into this match, never recovered from that early pressure and the Li held her nerve for what turned out to be a comprehensive win in an hour and 33 minutes.
Game-by-game analysis after the jump.
Second Set
11:14 p.m ET | Li Na defeats Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2.
Sharapova is clearly doubting her gameplan. She wanted to attack that Li forehand and it's not working. Li is anticipating and handling it well. It was the right gameplan over the years but maybe Rodriguez really has fixed it and Li's newfound calmness on court makes it less prone to break down in pressure moments. With that gameplan failing, Sharapova looks lost out there. Not sure staring at her box is going to help.
Li earns her first match point but goes for glory on an inside out forehand that she pulls wide. Would have been an epic shot to finish the upset if she made it.
An ace earns her Match Point No. 2. Sharapova fires a backhand return into the tape and Li Na is into her second Australian Open final. That was a perfect performance from a player who has always had the tools but rarely the head to pull these results off. That was a beating on every metric.
Final stat line: Li hit 21 winners to 18 unforced errors to go +3 on the match. Sharapova never cleaned up her game, hitting 17 winners to 32 unforced errors for a dismal -15. Again Li's points won on second serve remained off the charts, finishing the match at 63 percent to Sharapova's 25 percent. Li kept on the pressure and Sharapova never had a chance to breathe.
Sharapova's AO was like a boxer knocking out 5 straight opponents in fewer than 2 rounds, only to then get knocked out herself in round 2.—

11:09 p.m ET | Li breaks, leads 5-2.
Hello! Sharapova's clearly had enough of this. She comes out blasting on Li's service game, saving two game points to force deuce. Li works the slice second serve out wide perfectly though, so well that she even gets her normally stoic coach Rodriguez to smile, fistpump, and pound his chest to urge her on. Li holds to consolidate her break. She's two points away from her second final in three years.
Once again Sharapova can't close her own service games without drama. Li saves game points with some great defense to force deuce, and Sharapova misfires badly on a forehand to give Li a break point. She converts by yanking Sharapova around and earning a backhand error into the net.
The upset is on, folks. Li Na will serve for the match.
10:55 p.m ET | Li breaks, leads 3-2.
For the fifth time in the match, Sharapova can't close out a match in which she's had a game point. Had a couple of game points to hold her serve and gets broken. This is officially panic time for the Sharapova camp. She is getting absolutely walloped in every facet of the game by the 30-year old Li.
Speaking of which…
Can we put a moratorium on calling Li Na "the Chinese girl" ? Any chance of that? She turns 31 next month.—

10:44 p.m ET | Sharapova leads 2-1.
Sharapova once again has a look at a break but Li fends her off to hold. All on-serve to start the second set.
Looking back, here's the stat line for the 1st set. Li hit 14 winners to 9 unforced errors while Sharapova hit 10 winners to 17 unforced errors. Sharapova has to clean that up. But the most incredible stat: Li won winning 77 percent of her second serve points. You're happy if you're winning that on your first serve, let alone your second. By comparison, Sharapova won 20 percent. That's probably why she got broken three times.
And in case you believe in foreshadowing, ESPN's Chris McKendry has this stat:
Sharapova and Li have played 12 times before and the winner of the first set has won 11 of those 12 meetings. #ESPNTennis—

First Set
10:28 p.m ET | Li wins the first set 6-2.
Sharapova tries to hit herself out of the nerves and pressure she must be feeling and it doesn't work. She misfires on two easy returns and then sends an easy backhand into the net to give Li three set points. She finishes off the set with…wait for it…a forehand winner.
Tremendous set for Li and precisely what she needed to get into Sharapova's head.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal's Tom Perotta with some real talk:
Such as, height of net, position of lines RT @TennisReporters: … Maria is not playing well yet…Has yet to figure some key things out—
Tom Perrotta (@TomPerrotta) January 24, 2013
10:25 p.m ET | Li leads 5-2.
On ESPN, Darren Cahill says Sharapova is going to the forehand too much. He's right. Li's sitting on that side of the court waiting for it. That forehand is solid when Li gets her feet to hit it, it's horrible when she gets on the run and has to make the minor adjustments to hit it right. In other words, Sharapova needs to go to the backhand side to pull her wide, and then attack the forehand.
Sharapova earns two break points and Li saves them. She's just stronger in the rallies. I don't think Sharapova has won any rally that's lasted more than eight shots. But she's still got a chance in the short ones. She finally breaks after a great backhand return catches Li by surprise.
Sharapova looked well on her way to an easy hold but a few errors creep in as she tries to close and she's at deuce. Li is eating up Sharapova's second serve, which the Russian is firing at her forehand almost every time. Li's anticipating it, shading over, and hitting it for winners. She gets the break back after a long deuce game. That's three straight breaks for Li.
This is some great resilience from her. Meanwhile, Sharapova's shooting some forlorn looks at her box.
10:09 p.m ET | Li breaks, leads 4-1.
Sharapova hasn't been tested at all this tournament and she's in for a long day if Li keeps this up. Through the first five games, Li has put Sharapova on defense. The Russian can't get control of any of the rallies and is reacting to everything as Li dictates from the baseline. Li holds at love and immediately gets into another Sharapova service game.
Sharapova needs to attack and break down the Li forehand, a strong but streaky shot at best. She goes right at it on the first point of her serve and Li answers with a forehand down the line winner. Oops. Nevermind.
Her third doublefault of the match puts her into another 0-30 hole and Sharapova's into a multiple deuce game again. This time she saves a break point by going to Li's forehand, as Li sends it long. But then she fires a big first serve wide to Li's forehand side and Li lunges and whips a lazer down the line for a winner. In other words, that wing hasn't broken down yet, but Sharapova has to keep going at it.
Li breaks again and she's got a two break lead. That's a nice cushion for a player who's known to go off the boil when the finish line approaches.
Eurosport again reporting it's about 112 degrees on court and it's only getting hotter. We sure they're not measuring under Maria's collar?
Maria Sharapova broken again for 4-1 by Li Na, who is finding great range off both wings, return. New Sugarpova flavor: "Uh-Oh." #AusOpen—
Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) January 24, 2013
9:55 p.m ET | Li leads 2-1.
Fantastic running forehand winner from Sharapova earns her two break-back points. Li answers by stepping into the court and leaning in to a clean backhand crosscourt winner to save one, and her deep hitting earns another error from Sharapova to get to deuce. Li so far looks the stronger of the two off the ground. Her lateral movement is firing early and Sharapova's finding it tough to hit through her. She saves those break points to hold to 2-0.
Down 0-2, Sharapova fires her first ace of the match and finally gets on the board.
9:48 p.m ET | Li breaks, leads 1-0.
Sharapova opens with back-to-back double-faults, missing her first five serves. It probably doesn't help that some idiot in the crowd is loudly mocking her shrieking. Sharapova rebounds earn game point but Li saves it with a beautiful backhand down the line. As I wrote in my preview, Li will need that shot to open up the court. Li gets it to deuce and eventually breaks to start. This is exactly what she needed.
A reminder of the off-court intrigue of this match-up: Sharapova's coach, Thomas Hogstedt used to be Li Na's coach, while Li's current coach, Carlos Rodriguez famously coached former No. 1 Justine Henin, one of Sharapova's biggest rivals. And then there's the complicated issue of Max Eisenbud, agent extraordinaire for IMG, who represents both women. Matt Cronin of TennisReporters.net reported Eisenbud would be sitting in Sharapova's box today, while an IMG China representative will sit in Li's.
9:36 p.m ET | Pre-match warm-up
As ESPN2 is still stuck on college basketball, Li Na and Maria Sharapova are walking out to Rod Laver Arena. Li looks pretty relaxed, nothing but smiles as she waits for the fashionably late Sharapova. Neither players should feel anything other than the natural nerves of playing a big match on a big stage. This is Sharapova's 16th Slam semifinal and Li's 4th semifinal.
Temperatures are hot on court, with Eurosport reporting it's 86 degrees as rising. I've seen prior reports of the court temperature already exceeding 100 degrees. Shouldn't affect either of these players, both of whom handle the heat well. It's something to look for later in the second semifinal though, as Victoria Azarenka has a history of wilting in the heat.
Li wins the toss and elects to receive. She wants a crack at that Sharapova serve early.
Ready? Play.
Maria Sharapova and Li Na will meet in the first of two women's semifinals on Thursday at the Australian Open. The match is scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN2. The winner will advance to play Victoria Azarenka or Sloane Stephens in the final.
Neither player has dropped a set entering the match. In fact, Sharapova has lost only nine games in five matches, an Australian Open record since the tournament went to a 128-player draw in 1988. Meanwhile, Li has dispatched three seeds to reach her third Australian Open semifinal, including a quarterfinal victory against Agnieszka Radwanska, who had been 13-0 this year.
Sharapova leads their head-to-head 8-4, and while Li won four in a row from 2009 through 2011, she's never taken a set off Sharapova on outdoor hard courts. Sharapova won their three matches last year, which included two bagel sets.

Some good, more bad in Ryan Lindley's debut as Arizona Cardinals starter
Wearing a black San Diego State polo and black Chuck Taylor shoes, the rookie talked about his effort, which saw him complete 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards and four interceptions in Arizona's 31-17 loss to the Rams Sunday in Glendale.
Two of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns by Rams corner Janoris Jenkins.
Lindley, who said a QB has to just "roll with the punches" and keep fighting, said he felt like he got knocked around in this one.
"I think I punched myself pretty good today a little bit, but yeah, I mean it obviously wasn't the outcome, wasn't the start I wanted, we wanted," the rookie said.
"There's not much I can do right now to take any of those back."
Knowing that, Lindley said part of the job is not getting flustered out on the field.
"I think as a quarterback you've got to stay even keel, so I thought for the most part I tried not to get too down on the bad plays we made," the rookie said. "I tried not to get too high, too satisfied on the good stuff we did, because there was a little bit of both."
Indeed, Lindley's day wasn't all bad. He led the Cardinals to a pair of touchdown drives in the first half, and the QB did a good job spreading the ball around, completing passes to six different receivers.
However, the 23-year-old looked like a rookie which, really, makes sense.
"He's a rookie, he hasn't played a lot, but he's got to learn from this," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
Part of Lindley's issues may be attributed to a desire to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. The Pro Bowler was open on quite a few plays, but Lindley was only able to connect with him three times for a total of 31 yards. Three passes intended for the receiver were intercepted.
Lindley said two of the interceptions were mental mistakes (the third bounced off Fitzgerald's hands), and that he can't really explain it any better than that right now.
"Larry is doing the right thing," he said. "I'm just off a little bit on something, rushing something, not trusting what I'm seeing out there."
Improvement in those areas will come in time, as the more Lindley plays the more comfortable he will get not only with the speed of the game, but with everything he is being asked to do.
"Ryan is working his tail off," Fitzgerald said. "He's a rookie. He's giving it everything he has.
"We have to go out there and do a better job of helping him have success."

Long Jumping Tracksters
Under the title Jackie Robinson and Wilt Chamberlin ttiller recently wrote:
"How many other outstanding long jumpers frittered away their best years playing baseball just for the love of money? Didn't Willie Davis of the Dodgers jump at or near 25 feet in high school? And I recall seeing Bobby (not Barry) Bonds jumping very impressively at a couple of high school meets about 40 years ago."
Double RR Bar replied: Bobby Bonds was the California state H.S. long jump champion in 1964. I think he jumped around 25'3"
Comments: Doulbe RR Bar is right about Bobby Bonds. Willie Davis made All City in Baseball, Basketball and Track at Los Angeles, Roosevelt H.S. and also jumped over 25 ft. in the early 60's. Around the same time a former Dodger team mate of Davis's, Willie Crawford of L.A. Fremont H.S., duplicated Davis's All City feets and as I recall aalso jumped close to if not over 25 ft. This was a golden age of California H.S. long jumping which included a great hurdler/long jumper from John Muir H.S. in Pasadena who set a national H.S. record in 1967.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
I remember all these guys -- Bobby Bonds, Willie Davis, and Willie Crawford. Fabulous athletes. Whatever happened to another great talent from the same era -- Mel Renfro? Football?
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Mel Renfro, a great H.S. hurdler, played football for the University of Oregon and was an All Pro with the Dallas Cowboys.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
A few years after Bonds, Davis, Renfro, et al, came the best (or at least the most consistently high quality)prep long jumper before Lewis... Jerry Proctor. That little guy was an amazing athlete. My admittedly faulty memory says that he was about half the size of Bobby Bonds and I dunno if he ever played baseball but I bet if he had decided to do so he could have played in the majors.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Long Jumping Tracksters? Well, let's see. Carl Lewis was pretty good on the track. And then there was . . . .

check out the thread on this forum titled "GH's All-Time Favorite Trivia Question"
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Here's another baseball player with a good HS LJ: Jim Fregosi. Saw his name on an ols HS list, believe je was in the 24's.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Fregosi, eh? OK, let me see if I can tie a bunch of disparate thoughts into one cohesive bit here:
In 1959 Jim Fregosi (Serra, San Mateo) jumps 23-8, is among the dozen farthest preps in the country. By 1961 he's in the major leagues, plays 18 seasons (twice hits over .290, never over .300), then manages four different teams.
In 1964, Bobby Bonds (Poly, Riverside), is the national HS leader at 25-3 (to win the Cal State title), a mark which at the time made him =No.3 on the all-time list. And sister Rosie finishes 8th in the Olympics in the 80mH. Bobby goes on to be baseball all star.
In 1970, Lynn Swann (Serra, San Mateo) breaks Fregosi's school record with a 24-10 (No. 6 on the yearly list) and is also Cal State champ. He goes on to become all-pro wide receiver.
But neither Fregosi nor Swann is remotely regarded as Serra's No. 1 alum. Why?
Becuase in 1964, while Bobby B is a HS senior, Fregosi is in his fourth year in the majors and Swann is in the 6th grade, becuase on July 24, 1964, who is born? Future Serra alum Barry Bonds.

Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Not that this really matters 10+ years after the fact, but although there are multitudes of football/long jumpers, the original post was referencing baseball players who were long jumpers.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
We can have the baseballers and everyone else......also. You see anything wrong with that? And the OP brought up Mel Renfro who wasn't a baseballer.
And if we are talking long jumpers/footballers it's really not multitudes. These are those 25 footers and over who played in the NFL.
Terry Metcalf Long Beach State/Cards
Eric Metcalf Texas/Browns....his 27-8 the best by any footballer
Mel Renfro Oregon/Cowboys
Johnny Hector Tex A&M/Jets
Vance Johnson Arizona/Broncos
James Lofton Stanford/Packers
Champ Bailey Georgia/Broncos
Paul Warfield Ohio State/Browns & Dolphins
Chris Sanders Ohio State/Titans
Dokie Williams...UCLA/Raiders
Bo Roberson...Cornell/Raiders
Ron Jessie...Kansas/Lions
Marquis Goodwin...Texas/Bills
Todd Bell...Michigan/Bears
James McAlister...UCLA/Eagles
We can have that and all the baseball ya want.....still/also.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Renfro also ran on a WR 4x1 team while at Oregon with two other future NFLers (not for long) and the great Harry Jerome. A 9.6/13.7/25-10 or was it 25-11?
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
I didn't pick up what was really going on here, now I see what this was about. Sorry for playing the insensitive fool.
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
From this morning's SF Chron:
<<"Unbelievable athlete," said his Serra teammate Gary Hughes, a longtime scout and consultant now working for the Red Sox. "They make a big deal about guys playing two sports. Jim played four. He used to broad jump between innings of baseball games.">>
love the last bit if it's not apocryphal
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
same thing happened with Bobby Bonds - when at home meets - in between innings or when team was 'at bat' - and he wasn't he would go (about 50 yds to track), and run the 100y and/or BJ. Legend (reality?) has it that he hit a home run, kept running/joggin past home to long jump 24+ feet. then back to the game.
Another legend (reality?) is in between innings he went to the track to run the 100 vs the John Muir guys - he ran 9.7 and got 4th. Don't know how he managed the uniform thing. He was the state champ in LJ that yr, although no baseball to contend with during that meet. Riverside was rife with amazing athletic feats by the Bonds family.
Sat next to a guy on a plane once and we got around to HS sports and his school was a cross town 'competitor' - not rival, of Riverside Poly. He said one game they were getting bonked pretty good and Bobby was mass producer of points. This guy said he tackled Bonds on a put/kickoff return and considered that the biggest achievement of his HS athletic career.
I had a coach who went to HS with Jim Fregosi - his tales concur with the athleticism of him. Some people just 'have it'. no fair. His brother of course was state HS hurdles champ - not sure what ever happened to him post HS
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
Anthuan Maybank - 44.9, 27'
Re: Long Jumping Tracksters
I may have told this story before...
New Orleans- 1992,NCAA..Maybank running 400 final as LJ final being contested..400 start/finish NE corner of track Tad Gormley stadium, LJ N to S on west sideline.. Maybanks name was called to jump as he passed the long jump pit, he completed a 45 second 400, ran across the infield without pausing and popped a 26 + ' LJ before his one minute time expired.
I don't remember the results of either event.. but will never forget that...

From the prize-winning and national bestselling author of
The Speed of Light
, the engrossing story of an artist and a model who must both overcome the past in order to create a future
Blue Nude
recounts the events that bring Danzig and Merav together, including their disparate upbringings, their respective creative awakenings, and their similarly painful, often catastrophic, love lives. Using words to paint the landscapes of body and soul, Rosner conveys the art of survival, the complexity of history, the form of exile, the shape of desire, and the color of intimacy.
is the narrative equivalent of a masterpiece of fine art.

Hoping to build on the success of the immensely popular Star Wars trilogy, ABC decided to fill the void until the next film with cartoons based on the Star Wars characters. The two toon adaptations were Ewoks, starring the furry little fellas from Return of the Jedi, and Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3P0.
As the title suggests, Droids starred the metallic duo of the films, prim C-3P0 and sassy R2-D2. Most episodes saw the pair getting stuck in an awful "life" threatening situation, upon which Threepio would admonish Artoo (since it was always, "all [his] fault"), and eventually the droids would find a way to save themselves and move on to their next adventure.
Some might wonder why the entire Star Wars cast wasn't brought to the small screen in animated form, and if you are one of those people, here's your one-word answer: "overexposure." Star Wars creator George Lucas was smart enough to hold back on telling the audience too much about the other characters, enabling him more freedom in future movies. Besides, most kids got enough of Luke, Han, and Darth Vader when playing with their wildly popular action figures.
Unfortunately, Droids lacked the staying power of Lucas' film creations. The show lasted only one original season- the second season was all reruns- forcing the mechanical marvels into retirement until the next Star Wars film installment thirteen years later.

Tanning >The Tan Can, LLC
505 Honeycomb Rdg, Austin, TX | Directions 7874630.283198 -97.801196
Trish is the Best - I Love The Tan Can! – I have been going to Trish/The Tan Can for almost a year now, and I love it! Trish was my first experience with spray tanning. She came highly recommended from a fabulous makeup studio in Austin, and she did not disappoint!
I was definitely nervous going in, but Trish could not have made me feel more comfortable. She is so nice, super-fun, very professional, and extremely good at spray tanning. Plus, having now done spray tans in many different cities, you cannot beat Trish's prices! And her studio is so convenient - not to mention she offers mobile services, too.
Overall Trish is the best!
Best airbrush tan in Austin!!!! Hands down!!! – How often is it that you can stand buck-naked in front of someone and be laughing all while getting a fantastic, perfectly color-matched airbrush tan? Not too often I'm sure. Trish is the best!! She's an absolute riot and makes you feel very comfortable while she's tanning you. She'll mix the perfect color for your skin - not some generic color used on every Jane out there. She does a amazing job and you can't beat the price!!!! She'll come to you or you can meet her at her studio - who else offers flexibility like that?!? Like the 5 stars say RUN, DON'T WALK to see Trish at The Tan Can!! You will NOT be disappointed!
best tan ever! – I have never loved the process of getting a spray tan, but this is like getting tanned by your best friend. Trish is so fabulous....she makes you feel completely comfortable and takes such care in making sure you are totally happy. Plus, she can make you look like you've spent a month in the Bahamas or can just take the edge off the scary winter white. Either way, it looks natural and gives me a major self esteem boost!! Thank you, Trish!
Best spray tan I've ever had! – Trish is absolutely amazing! She'll give you a perfect, even color that looks very natural. The tans usually last about 10-14 days and hold up through sweating and workouts. I am a dancer so it is essential that I have a nice glowing tan. I am so glad I can rely on Tan Can to give me such incredible color!
Fan of the Tan – I'm on a sports dance team, therefore I'm required to wear a uniform that exposes my midsection. Normally, I'm one of the whitest people who walks the Earth, but after getting my first spray-on tan from Trish, that's no longer the case. I have never gone to tan anywhere else, and I don't know that I ever will...basically, I loooove putting on that uniform now, because I have confidence!!
Austin"s BEST Air Brush Tanning – 7/24/2010
I was planning a vacation to Maui a few months ago and wanted to be a tan "beautiful person". I had gone to Mystic Tan before ,but wasn't very impressed. The tan lasted about a week and bit of an impersonal experience was felt as well. So, I attended a friend's party shortly there after ...and low and behold...I was in store for a spray tan! Just what i was looking for. The company is called "The Tan Can" and the owner is absolutely fabulous!! The owner's name is Trish ans she immediately puts you at ease and is delightfully funny to boot!! She threw a tent up and looked at my skin color and sprayed a very fine mist of tan all over my body..the color was very natural and even. She even used a towel to blend the color around my feet! I immediately felt sexy and it looked great for almost TWO WEEKS!! I understand she spends a lot of time developing colors for different skin types! I recommend "The Tan Can " to anyone looking for a great tan and a custom personalized experience!

The Cathedral and the Bazaar
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014)
|The Cathedral and the Bazaar
Cover of the paperback compendium edition
|Eric S. Raymond
|O'Reilly Media
Publication date
|005.4/32 21
|LC Class
|Followed by
|Homesteading the Noosphere
The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary (abbreviated CatB) is an essay, and later a book, by Eric S. Raymond on software engineering methods, based on his observations of the Linux kernel development process and his experiences managing an open source project, fetchmail. It examines the struggle between top-down and bottom-up design. The essay was first presented by the author at the Linux Kongress on May 27, 1997 in Würzburg and was published as part of the book in 1999.
"The Cathedral and the Bazaar"[edit]
The essay contrasts two different free software development models:
- The Cathedral model, in which source code is available with each software release, but code developed between releases is restricted to an exclusive group of software developers. GNU Emacs and GCC are presented as examples.
- The Bazaar model, in which the code is developed over the Internet in view of the public. Raymond credits Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, as the inventor of this process. Raymond also provides anecdotal accounts of his own implementation of this model for the Fetchmail project.
The essay's central thesis is Raymond's proposition that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" (which he terms Linus's Law): the more widely available the source code is for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, the more rapidly all forms of bugs will be discovered. In contrast, Raymond claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be spent hunting for bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version of the code is available only to a few developers.
Lessons for creating good open source software[edit]
Raymond points to 19 "lessons" learned from various software development efforts, each describing attributes associated with good practice in open source software development:[1]
- Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.
- Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse).
- Plan to throw one [version] away; you will, anyhow. (Copied from Frederick Brooks' The Mythical Man Month)
- If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you.
- When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor.
- Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.
- Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.
- Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.
- Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way around.
- If you treat your beta-testers as if they're your most valuable resource, they will respond by becoming your most valuable resource.
- The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.
- Often, the most striking and innovative solutions come from realizing that your concept of the problem was wrong.
- Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away. (Attributed to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
- Any tool should be useful in the expected way, but a truly great tool lends itself to uses you never expected.
- When writing gateway software of any kind, take pains to disturb the data stream as little as possible—and never throw away information unless the recipient forces you to!
- When your language is nowhere near Turing-complete, syntactic sugar can be your friend.
- A security system is only as secure as its secret. Beware of pseudo-secrets.
- To solve an interesting problem, start by finding a problem that is interesting to you.
- Provided the development coordinator has a communications medium at least as good as the Internet, and knows how to lead without coercion, many heads are inevitably better than one.
The essay helped convince most existing open source and free software projects to adopt Bazaar-style open development models[citation needed], fully or partially—including GNU Emacs and GCC, the original Cathedral examples[citation needed]. Most famously, in 1998 it also provided the final push for Netscape Communications Corporation to release the source code for Netscape Communicator and start the Mozilla project.[2][unreliable source?]
When O'Reilly Media published the book in 1999, it became the first complete and commercially distributed book published under the Open Publication License[citation needed]. The illustration on the cover of the book is a 1913 painting by Liubov Popova titled "Composition with Figures" and belongs to the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery.[3]
Marshall Poe, in his essay "The Hive", likens Wikipedia to the Bazaar model that Raymond defines.[4]

» From "Lynyrd Skynyrd Bio" // October 02, 2012 1:19:24 PM UTC
I was married in 1973 & FreeBird was entering my life the same year which is ironic. Through the years they were always with me. Through a life of law enforcement,tradgedies,children.grandchildren and then divorce I always had Skynyrd to fall back on. With loss you see things as just stuff and memories are the treasure in the agining process.
I once had a garage with a 1500cc Intruder photos of Skynyrd. Now that too is gone.
I read the words to Last Rebel on the Road at a Funeral for a relative biker......leather jackets and tears .
Keeping going guys...........I am.........we're all about the same age and from the same time.........keep surviving. For me OK?

City Square is buzzing for Bolton
- 29 February 2012 14:55
- Posted by Peter Ferguson
It's the Wanderers on Saturday - but you don't need to set foot outside City Square before the boys in blue get back to the title battle against Bolton.
Get here early and let the Live From City Square crew led by the inimitable Hugh Ferris entertain you with the usual heady mix of fun, tunes, competitions and guests.
The Square opens at noon and there'll be plenty going on and big-screen highlights to enjoy before Hugh, Natalie Pike and Fanzone Danny crank up another top-quality pre-match show.
There's a cracking BMX display that has to be seen to be believed, and the popular Sutu wall offers the fastest contestants the chance to take part in the half-time Jaguar competition.
The Key 103 Citysoundwave contest will feature local vocalist Mica and local band Jeremiah Ferrari with their unique blend of reggae, punk and ska. Sounds special.
Keep an eye out for Fanzone Danny as he roams around for your views - his upgrade competition means you could be sampling City's award-winning hospitality at a forthcoming game.
And why not have a go at the ever-popular EA Sports Bluezone with match tickets on offer as prizes?
We've also got a fabulous post-match bonus for you - Patrick Vieira will be live on stage at 5.05pm to answer your Twitter questions in our special #askpatrick interview.
So just remember - it's hip to be Square. Get here early and be part of it!

Study abroad. Music performance students often travel abroad for a semester or two, studying in major conservatories and smaller institutions. Additionally, each of our major ensembles travels internationally giving performance tours, which allows them to immerse in the native culture and serve the community through music performance.
Faculty at work
Our performance faculty consists of international performers and conductors appearing as guest artists in countries across the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, South America, China, Japan and Australia. Several of our performance faculty members have regular engagements as performers with the Minnesota Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera and countless other professional ensembles, both classical and popular, throughout the twin cities.

Heb. raham = "parental affection," Lev. 11:18; Deut. 14:17; R.V., "vulture"), a species of vulture living entirely on carrion. "It is about the size of a raven; has an almost triangular, bald, and wrinkled head, a strong pointed beak, black at the tip, large eyes and ears, the latter entirely on the outside, and long feet." It is common in Egypt, where it is popularly called "Pharaoh's chicken" (the Neophron percnopterus), and is found in Palestine only during summer. Tristram thinks that the Hebrew name, which is derived from a root meaning "to love," is given to it from the fact that the male and female bird never part company.

Have you seen the "Friday Night Tykes" television show on Esquire Network?
Texas youth football coaches push kids too far during practice and force them to exercise in unsafe, harmful conditions. They encourage helmet to helmet collisions and force the kids to wear full pads in 99 degree heat. This will likely lead to catastrophic injury unless someone puts a stop to this. Stand up for these children! Let us know what you think on our Facebook page and Twitter. This needs to stop!

This weekend my roommate was going out of town and had a bunch of bananas that were starting to over ripen. She told me I could bake with them if I wanted to instead of her just throwing them away.
Of course, I took the bananas. Can you imagine me passing up the opportunity to bake?
I pulled out this recipe that I have had around forever, but never really had the chance to use.
This banana cupcake recipe is very similar to the banana cookie recipe, but not quite as hearty or chewy.
The cupcakes have a very light and fluffy texture. The banana flavor is powerful. And when paired with the sweet chocolate frosting, to die for.

Cattle; chimpanzees and bonobos; dogs and dolphins; rats and mice; horses, turtles, glowworms and pigs; goats, chickens and Rin Tin Tin — and, at the center of it all, humans.
The animal kingdom, from invertebrates to dinosaurs to us, is on parade at this year's Chicago Humanities Festival, the listings for which can read like the blueprint for a successful online photo gallery. Animals (including human animals being photographed before they enter a holding pen, as in police mugshots) are among the Internet's leading click bait.
From another angle, though, the one where you actually read how the scores of CHF speakers plan to incorporate the world's fauna into their talks, the listings can read like an endlessly fascinating, intellectually challenging next several weeks.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
And it was this, of course, that the crafters of the city's venerable festival — a sort of college major in microcosm, without the bothersome homework — had in mind when they themed the 2013 edition "Animal: What Makes Us Human."
The organizers dispute the idea that this year's talks sound any more compelling than ones from previous years; parents love all their children equally, of course. They point to the fact that last year's festival, with the theme of "America," set an attendance record of 36,450.
But ticket sales this year are on a pace to match that or better it, and Paul Sereno talking about dinosaurs, Frans de Waal about bonobos and Temple Grandin about cattle — to cull just three from the herd of almost 100 individually ticketed talks — are especially enticing.
We could go on: Rebecca Skloot on human-animal connections; anthropologist John Hawks on our Neanderthal selves; Jonathan Safran Foer on his influential argument for vegetarianism, "Eating Animals."
Why does the theme of animals so resonant?
"I've puzzled though it," says presenter Susan Orlean (Nov. 10), who, in addition to "The Orchid Thief," has written about her own chickens and the canine movie star Rin Tin Tin. "The nearest I can come to an explanation is that our interest in animals is as persistent and enduring as our curiosity about Martians. They are a life form that clearly has a range of behavior and emotions we can see with our own eyes. We know they are registering the world we're registering. But they will be forever a mystery that we cant unlock."
Justin Torres (Nov. 9) called his first novel "We the Animals" for reasons entirely related to the festival's theme.
"The title is reflective of the kind of thematic obsession of the book," says the 33-year-old Brooklyn writer. "Whenever you're talking about our animal selves, you're trying to investigate what makes us human … what separates us but also what connects us to the natural world.
"The book that I wrote, the concern is the battle between our instinctual, primal selves, those desires, and the domestication of those desires."
Sereno, the University of Chicago paleontologist, will talk Sunday during the fall festival's U. of C.-centric Hyde Park Day, in advance of the main body of presentations Nov. 1-10. The kickoff Northwestern Day in Evanston happened last weekend, and the festival also stages other events throughout the year.
Using dinosaurs and humans, Sereno intends to tell listeners that while their design might be intelligent, it is far from perfect. "The theme I'd like to explore is the common misconception that humans, or for that matter any complex animal, are truly well-designed for what we're doing," he says.
And if you are taking that sentence in through reading glasses, you'll have an inkling of what he means.
The animal behaviorist Temple Grandin (Nov. 9) says she reached an early breakthrough, designing cattle chutes that didn't spook the animals, by, in essence, thinking like them, bringing humans to animal level.
She is an almost purely visual thinker, she says, and so she saw things from the cows' perspective: "I got down in the chute to see what the cattle are seeing," whether it was a chain hanging down or an ominous shadow that made the animals skittish.
"I found if they removed those reflections, (the cows) just walked right up the chute" without having to be forced, Grandin says.
Bringing animals onto the program wasn't about click bait or making the festival program easy to illustrate, says Matti Bunzl, the University of Illinois anthropologist who is CHF's artistic director.
It was a reflection of what has been going on in the academy, of a coming together in recent years of science and the humanities that has led to new, interdisciplinary approaches.
At graduate school in the mid-1990s, he says, "those of us on the cultural side, we never touched biology. We never touched the natural kingdom. There was such a wall. It was a chasm.
"Then something changed. In the early- to mid-2000s, a series of humanists started having discussions with their scientific counterparts. They realized that maybe new perspectives being developed might inform how we think about human nature and culture. And the same thing from the other side. Humanists were asking biological questions and biologists were asking humanistic questions, and the next thing you know we have this new field called animal studies."
And a theme for the 2013 festival.
De Waal, the Emory University biologist (Nov. 3), is "for my money the most influential scholar" in this melding of the two realms, Bunzl says. "His last book is called 'The Bonobo and the Atheist,' and it's all about finding the evolutionary kernels for morality."
But is the selection of animals as a theme purely a reflection of what's going on in the nation's colleges and universities? Bunzl has an admission.
"I also have a pug," he says. "She played a role."

Does your significant other know you have a Nameberry account? Do they know what Nameberry is? Do you tell your significant other when we (berries) dislike or like certain names/combos?
My answer: I'm 14 at the moment so that answers most of your questions. My sister knows that I have an account and my mother knows that I'm a huge name nerd. My dad would probably be quite scared if he knew.14 year old name addict

Hi! I'm a new berrie so I haven't mentioned this to anyone I know yet. I come from hong kong and I'm a chinese, so I don't discuss english names with my friends - it just never comes up in our conversations. I don't mind telling them, though, they know I have rather unusual interests.

Can't believe the reports that Doc was holding up the Bledsoe piece because he told the Clipps not to deal him. What is Doc doing talking to the Clipps anyway? He's under contract right now! DA should tell Doc to shut-up until the deal is done. If this is true, then I can't see Doc ever coming back here.

Yes to all the above opinions. The longer this goes the messier it gets. Doc is looking out for his best interest, nothing wrong with that. Just hope he remembers that the next time he dares to criticize a Ray Allen type situation. At least Allen wasn't under contract.

I agree that it is time for some new blood (in the rotation and coachwise)......let's face it....if KG and PP stayed on for a year or so we would still have no realistic shot at a title...then they leave and we get nothing.....the same goes for Doc....if he decided to go to the booth we would also get nothing in return...this could free up salary for next year's free agency...of course, a lot of folks point to Doc being so popular as a player's coach....so Danny needs to make the right move on a coach as well...
if we get Jordan is that so bad...? granted he can't hit free throws but he is young and can defend the basket....something we need...he averaged 9 PPG, 7+ RPG, and about 1 1/2 BPG in only 24 MPG.....increase his minutes to 35 or so and we should have a double/double guy in the middle....and at 24 he certainly can improve his game...he already has "Perk type numbers" and let's not forget how many folks thought losing Perk was a disaster...he is also a career .644 shooter (ok dunker) but imagine him with Rondo on the alley oop...
I don't know if we will get another player and/or picks but if we are going to rebuild let's start now...I have no problem if we are a lottery team for a year or two.....I'm looking at the future at this point....to have nothing to show on the day that KG & PP are gone would be a travesty....at least in my opinion...
the young core would be...
Rondo (all star)
Bradley (great young defender and high energy guy....plays well with Rondo)
Green (heir apparent to Pierce)
Sully (looks like an inside force who can rebound and score...the steal of the draft if he is healthy...)
Jordan (interior defender/rim protector)
Melo as a developmental backup in another year or so....?
I realize that many may not agree with my views....and that's fine...

[/QUOTE]Blake is a nice player, and is getting more well-rounded offensively. But I have my reservations about his offensive game. His jumper is pretty inconsistent. And his rebounding numbers have taken a hit. They've gone down every year he's played. His ceiling is immense and if you have a coach that specializes in bigs you could groom him to be a very talented player in this league. I was hoping more for a sign-and-trade with the Jazz for Milsap, but his current contract demands make that hard to accomplish.

This is the church that is so beautiful from the canal, with its shiny dome that you can see from so many places in Venice. The outside, in my opinion, is its best attribute. Oh, and the walk that you must take to get here from other parts of the island is fantastic. There are so many bridges and back streets to enjoy. The inside of the church was about average, maybe a little above average. When we talked about it, we all agreed that the walk and the view from the church steps were the best part of this little venture.

Sanford expanding children's clinic initiativeFARGO, N.D. (AP) — Sanford Health is expanding a plan to open more children's clinics around the globe.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Sanford Health is expanding a plan to open more children's clinics around the globe.
The initiative originally involved five clinics — three in the U.S. and one each in Belize and Ireland. The Dakotas-based health giant now plans "well over 20" children's clinics in the U.S. and abroad over the next decade, impacting 4 million children, Sanford vice president Dave Link told The Forum newspaper.
The children's clinic program seeks to improve access to children's health services. Sanford also will gain a better understanding of different approaches to medicine in various states and countries, Link said.
"We'd be able to really learn a lot about health care delivery and health care policy," he said.
Sanford looks for a local partner when building the clinics. One opening in Oceanside, Calif., on Thursday is in partnership with Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. The project also received a $2.5 million donation from The Rose Foundation, a grant-making public charity. Sanford also is exploring a possible clinic in Ghana in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
"We plan on doing this a long, long time," Link said.
The children's clinic initiative is underwritten by retired Sioux Falls, S.D., banker and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford's $400 million gift in 2007 to what has become Sanford Health. Link did not say how much of that money will go to the children's clinic program.
Sanford Health was formed by the merger of two health systems in the Dakotas in 2009. It is headquartered in Fargo and Sioux Falls, and has a presence in more than 100 communities in eight states. Sanford says it is the nation's largest not-for-profit rural health care provider.

Close Quarters: 8 Pro Tips for Decorating and Sharing a Small Space
As we patiently await the arrival of our third child in early February, I have started to prepare my girls for his arrival. One of my favorites so far has been redesigning their room into an official "big girl" room for them. Avery, my youngest, is currently in a crib and Harlan, my oldest, is in a toddler bed. I wanted to help them both make the transition into a room better suited for them well before their new brother arrives so that the transition will go smoothly. For the redesign of the room, I went to Michelle Freedberg, the owner of Bellini, a family-owned furniture company, who has helped design a number of baby and children's rooms, including several celebrities. I knew Michelle would be perfect to help me with our small space because she has worked with several clients in New York City who are dealing with the same issue that I am; two kids in one small room. Since working with Michelle on the redesign, she's given me several useful tips for making the most out of a smaller shared space. If you have a smaller space that you have to make work for two, check out Michelle's tips!

If you've been reading Martha's blog, you know that she went exploring for plants on the North Fork of Long Island in New York State. Of course, we went along for the ride, in search of adventure. There are lots of farm stands out in the country and we spotted one that looked especially fun. Uncle Carlos stopped the car so that we could take a look. Seeing such a great farm stand really got our Frenchie creative entrepreneurial juices flowing.
We were driving through the North Fork with Martha and Uncle Carlos when we spotted this colorful farm stand. We wanted to stop and explore.
