Breaking: Amile Jefferson to Duke
Amile Jefferson has committed to Duke University, becoming the Blue Devils' second commit in the high school class of 2012, joining shooting guard Rasheed Sulaimon. Jefferson, a 6-foot-8, 200 pound forward from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, played at Friends' Central School in Philadelphia. His team has made consistent appearances in the national rankings over the past few years.
Duke entered the recruiting process for Jefferson late in the game, but were able to come on strong enough to snag the power forward, who is touted by Scout.com as the #3 power forward in the class of 2012. Jefferson was also considering Villanova along with Ohio State, North Carolina State, and Kentucky. "Duke was always a school I had interest in," he said in an interview with Scout.com on January 15. "I've been talking to Coach K. You go there, you know you have a chance to compete for national championships and play with some of the best players in the country."
Jefferson averaged 18.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game for Friends' Central during his junior season. He led the team to its third consecutive PAISAA title and was named Gatorade State Player of the Year. One of the reasons why Jefferson is a great fit at Duke is because like many of his future Blue Devils teammates, he is not used to losing. His high school team went 75-9 in his first three years there.
He recently finished the regular season for the Phoenix when Friends Central fell 55-53 to The Westtown School in the Friends School League semifinal. Jefferson led the way for Friends Central with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks. They moved on to compete in the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Tournament, where they capped off Jefferson's illustrious high school career with a fourth consecutive state championship, finishing with a 22-5 record. Amile finished his senior season averaging 19.8 points per game and had a double-double in his team's state title victory over The Westtown School.
Amile brings to Duke the perfect combination of strength, size, speed, and power. He's the type of player that can hurt you all over the floor, with an uncanny ability to get to the hole and a quickly developing perimeter game. Head coach Jason Polykoff at Friends' Central told Crazie-Talk that the most impressive part of Amile's game was actually not one of his numerous physical tools. "One of the reason why so many schools wanted Amile was because besides his physical abilities he has such a high basketball IQ," Polykoff said. "He'll come into his college program with an understanding of the game that not all freshmen have."
Polykoff contended that although Amile is one of the top seniors in the country, he still has some work to do before he takes his game to the next level. "He knows that he needs to get stronger and ready to play against these other guys that have these developed bodies. He knows he needs to improve his outside shot," Polykoff said. "He can handle the ball for someone his size but he can always work on his perimeter game and attack the ball off the dribble. He finishes pretty well but now he's got to be ready to finish with contact."
His coach also told Crazie-Talk that Duke's main draw for Jefferson was its tradition of excellence both on and off the basketball court. Playing for Mike Krzyzewski, arguably the greatest basketball coach on the planet, is quite the draw, but Jefferson truly desired to play in awinning basketball environment. But according to his coach, Duke means more to Amile than just basketball. "I think Duke basketball aside, the academic reputation of Duke is very appealing to him," Polykoff added. "He's a kid that is used to going to rigorous academic schools throughout middle school and high school. If you can combine high academics with a good basketball program, that's kind of his niche."
One of the most impressive facets of Amile's game is his unselfish outlook on the game of basketball. He is the type of player that will do whatever it takes to help his team win a basketball game, whether that is scoring 30 points or taking two shots and pulling down 15 rebounds or blocking five shots. "It's very rare for somebody of his skill nowadays to be more concerned about the team than the individual, and he's been doing that since he was a freshman, Polykoff said. "He just wants to win."
The addition of Jefferson is a significant victory for the Blue Devils in what has proved to be a very difficult recruiting season. He will add extra depth to the team next year and has the potential to develop into a prolific scorer in years to come. His devotion to academics as well as basketball and the Duke basketball tradition indicates that Amile intends to stick around- don't expect a one and done from this kid. Before he tries to take his talents to the pros, he wants to win a ring or two. Polykoff was adamant that the sky truly is the limit for Amile Jefferson. "If he improves the way he's improved over the last four years, he's one of the best seniors in the country right now I don't see why he couldn't remain one of the best players in the country at the college level."
Welcome to the Duke basketball family, Amile. See you in August.
Recap: Crazie Talk at the 2012 Jordan Brand Classic
Crazie Talk headed down to the Queen City on Saturday for the 2012 edition of the Jordan Brand Classic. This was our second straight year at the event. Last year, we had the chance to see three Duke guys play (Austin Rivers, Marshall Plumlee, and Mike Gbinije*) and a TON of other talent, including four members from Kentucky's national championship squad this year- Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, and Kyle Wiltjer. The game featured many stars whose names we'll soon hear called at the NBA Draft in a few months. Needless to say, we decided it'd be worthwhile to check the event out this year.
We started out to Charlotte in the afternoon, luckily having better weather this time than the tornadoes we faced last year. The first game we saw in Time Warner Cable Arena, home of the 7 win & 52 loss Charlotte Bobcats, was the international game, featuring some of the best young talent from around the globe. Lucas Silva Dias from Brazil (18 points, 12 rebounds) and Federico Mussini (21 points) from Italy led the way for their team to an 89-87 victory in overtime. I was beyond thrilled to have the chance to watch a 16 year old by the name of Domantas Sabonis though, a member of the losing squad. He is the youngest son of NBA and international legend Arvydas Sabonis, who I fondly remember watching as a kid. Here's to hoping he can make it big like his father did.
Next up was the regional game featuring some of North Carolina's finest. This game included a number of seniors committed to top programs, including Peter Jurkin (Indiana), Brandon Bolden (Georgetown), and Montay Brandon (FSU), to name a few. Outside of Brandon, there were also guys going to other ACC schools: Clemson (though Josh Smith did not actually play), Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech. The one performance that really stood out to me was that of co-MVP Montrezl Harrell. Harrell will be heading off to Blacksburg to join Seth Greenberg and the Virginia Tech Hokies next season. Watch out for him, folks. He finished with 22 points on 11-14 shooting, 12 boards, and seven blocks, a number of which came in key points in the game, including the opposing squad's last-second shot to try send it to overtime. He has the potential to make a huge impact on both sides of the ball next year in the ACC.
Around 7 PM, the All-American game tipped off. This is the one that everyone came to see. It's the game that included the #1 and #2 players in the nation who just on Wednesday announced where they'll be playing their college ball: Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad. It also featured four top high school phenoms who will be playing next year in the Triangle area: Rodney Purvis (N.C. State), J.P. Tokoto (UNC), Brice Johnson (UNC), and Rasheed Sulaimon (Duke). Noel, Purvis, Tokoto, and Johnson were part of the East squad, while Muhammad and Sulaimon were on the West.
The East got off to a quick start, going up 10-0. J.P. Tokoto led the way early with a couple of nice finishes. He definitely looked like the most athletic player on the court, at least early on. The West's first points actually came off the hands of Brice Johnson. Johnson must have trained with Tyler Zeller, as he tipped in a missed shot…lol. Funnily enough, those were Brice's only "points" of the game. At times, he really seemed to disappear from the game, and he was the only player not to score in the game. And despite Tokoto's strong start, he didn't do much in the second half, finishing with only 8 points, all of which came in the first 20 minutes of the game.
The first half, though, was very sloppy. It reminded me quite a bit of the Nike Hoop Summit just one week before, in which the U.S. squad of many of these players was beaten by a team of international phenoms, including Duke recruit Andrew Wiggins. At the JBC, the teams combined for 22 turnovers in the first half and shot 1-19 from 3. A bright spot in that stat line was that the lone three came from future Blue Devil Sulaimon, who finished the half with 7 points and 7 rebounds.
A number of players made themselves known in the second half though with some solid play. Alex Poythress (Kentucky commit, former Duke recruit) finished the game with 16 points on 7-8 shooting. In the end, Sheed's squad won the game 99-95. The two MVPs were Shabazz Muhammad (20 points) and Rodney Purvis (22 points). Muhammad's had an impressive stretch here against some of the nation's (and world's) best. He recently was named MVP of the McDonald's All-American game and also became the all-time leader in points scored in the Nike Hoop Summit after his 35-point performance. As he announced last week, he'll be heading off to Westwood next season, choosing UCLA over Duke and Kentucky.
Purvis and Sulaimon were definitely going at it throughout the game. You could see a little competition brewing between the two. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they meet again in conference play in the upcoming season. Sulaimon, for the most part, played well. He finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. He did have 4 turnovers though, many of which came on some poor decisions and off-target passes. It's important to note that he was playing out of position in this game. The West team was playing without a true point guard, and so Rasheed, a natural 2-guard, took on many of those duties. (Quick aside: UNC-bound Marcus Paige was supposed to carry that role, but he was absent from the game, recovering from foot surgery.) The future Duke guard was 3 of 6 from beyond the arc and showed clutch play down the stretch, hitting a big 3-pointer in the game's closing minutes.
Many are quick to compare Rasheed Sulaimon's game to that of former National Champion and current Trail Blazer Nolan Smith. I'll have to admit…their styles of play are eerily similar. They're both great shooters who move around on the court well and can create for themselves. After the game, we met up with Rasheed for a quick interview:
He seems like a great guy who is just excited to put on that Duke jersey and play his heart out each and every game. You can't hope for a young man much better than that.
Another senior in the game was Tony Parker, a Duke recruit from Georgia who has been on Duke's radar for quite some time. He'll be deciding between Duke, UCLA, Kansas, Ohio State, and UGA on Friday, so be on the lookout for that announcement. After the game, he did say that playing for Coach K and a school like Duke with so much rich basketball tradition and great academics is a draw for him, so that does give us a glimmer of hope.
Well, that's it for us at the Jordan Brand Classic. Got questions or comments on anything we said? Let us hear them!
*We're hearing reports that Michael Gbinije is to transfer from Duke. If that's the case, we wish him the best of luck wherever he ends up. Thanks for the one year! Stay alert for any updates on this developing story.
Tobacco Road Turnover
The Final Four has finally arrived, but for the second staight year, no team on Tobacco Road will be vying to cut down the nets this Monday. Instead, both Duke and UNC have shifted into offseason mode, which means a ton of chatter about early entry, recruiting, and projecting what next season's squads will look like.
It's safe to say that the top of the ACC next year will look very, very different.
On Monday, Duke officially said goodbye to Austin Rivers, ending an up-and-down season that, for better or for worse, revolved around Rivers. He became the stuff of legend on February 8th in Chapel Hill, but Duke struggled down the stretch and bowed out in Coach K's first Round of 64 exit since 2007. Junior center Mason Plumlee still has yet to make a decision. This past season was Mason's best yet, but he will likely not be a lottery selection in this year's class. His decision will likely influence the decisions of recruits, like Amile Jefferson and Tony Parker. But until Mason chooses to go pro or not, we'll have little to no idea what this Duke team will be like next year.
But Duke isn't the only school with uncertainty lying ahead in 2012-2013. This afternoon, Harrison Barnes, John Henson, and Kendall Marshall announced their intentions to join Tyler Zeller as potential lottery selections in this year's NBA draft. Sophomore Reggie Bullock is the only remaining member of Carolina's starting five who will be returning next year. It has been rumored that freshman James Michael McAdoo is also considering leaving early for the draft as well.
As you can imagine, these losses will be a great loss for the Tar Heels in the team's efforts to repeat as ACC regular season champions next year. Barnes, Marshall, Henson, and Zeller accounted for just over 68% of North Carolina's scoring last season. Barnes, Henson, and Zeller also combined to form arguably the nation's most formidable frontcourt. The three accounted for 54.9% of the Tar Heels' rebounds in 2011, and were much of the reason why North Carolina was the top rebounding team in the country at 45.2 boards per game. You also can't forget about the role Marshall played as a distributor, setting the ACC assists record while averaging 9.8 per contest. With Kendall gone and Stilman White headed on a religious mission for the next two years, Huckleberry Hound will probably look to senior Dexter Strickland and freshman Marcus Paige to take up point guard duties.
This decimation of Carolina's roster is an interesting twist in what has been an eventful offseason for the ACC thus far.Even with a recruiting class of four players coming in next season, North Carolina is essentially starting from scratch. As Carolina looks to rebuild (or as the national media will say ad nauseum, 'reload') and with Duke's roster in flux, N.C State seems primed for a run to the top of the league. The Wolfpack, fresh off of a Sweet 16 run, will add three McDonald's All-Americans as freshmen (T.J Warren, Rodney Purvis, and Tyler Lewis) next season – with the possibility of adding a fourth in Amile Jefferson. The only current N.C State player considering the draft is C.J Leslie, but regardless of his decision, State will be very, very strong next season. If Plumlee does indeed enter the draft and Duke misses on its three remaining targets, it won't be unexpected to see the balance of power shift away from the blues next year.
This is just the beginning to what looks to be an eventful offseason. We'll know more and more about what the Blue Devils will look like in the coming weeks.
* * *
P.S. Remember November 13, 2009, when Harrison Barnes promised to leave a legacy at UNC? That 'legacy' will include zero championships of any kind, zero Final Fours, and a losing record against Duke. That's really something to Skype home about.

Trey Zeigler Visits Duke
Central Michigan shooting guard Trey Zeigler is on Duke's campus Friday, according to team sources. Zeigler announced he was transferring from Central Michigan on Wednesday after his father and head coach, Ernie Zeigler, was fired after the Chippewas went 11-21 last season. In two years at Central Michigan, Zeigler played a huge role in the Chippewas' offense. He led the team in both scoring and rebounding last season, averaging 15.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. He will have two years of college eligibility remaining after he transfers.
The Blue Devils are very interested in the prospect of Zeigler joining the team. Although he did not receive an offer from Duke as a high school senior, Zeigler, a native of Mount Pleasant, Michigan, was a highly touted recruit coming out of high school. Despite not receiving an offer from Duke, he did receive interest from the coaching staff and was very interested in playing for Duke during his high school career. He received scholarship offers from Arizona State, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and UCLA before ultimately deciding to play for his father at Central Michigan.
He is exactly the type of player that Duke needs. Zeigler is a long and versatile wing player, something that the Blue Devils severely lacked last season. He has the ability to handle the ball and can play point guard, shooting guard, or small forward. He can finish at the rim with the best of them, and matches up much better on the defensive end with many of the ACC's current stars. This news comes as a bit of consolation for Duke fans, as signs are currently pointing to both Austin Rivers and Mason Plumlee departing early for the NBA. We are still waiting on official announcements from both of them as to their future plans.
Duke has a great record with recruiting transfers, and rarely has one who has visited campus not ended up playing for the Blue Devils. Notable Duke transfers from the past include Roshown McLeod, Dahntay Jones, and current Duke guard Seth Curry. Curry was the last player to transfer to Duke, coming from Liberty University after the 2009 season. He sat out the entirety of 2010 before becoming eligible to play.
Mailbag: NCAA Tournament Edition
We had to much fun with our last mailbag, we figured we'd just have to do it again. The NCAA Tournament is our favorite time of the year, so we're here to answer all your questions about Duke and March Madness.
First, let's take a look at a couple questions about Duke's chances in the tournament this year.
Q: How far can Duke go this year? – @jameezy9
Q: After now seeing the brackets, what's CT's honest expectations of the Duke team? – @mrgoodvar
Our most honest assessment is that this is going to be a very tough road for Duke this year. The selection committee was not kind to the South region this year, which is by far the hardest of the four. This is particularly perplexing because the top seed in this year's tournament, Kentucky, resides in the South. Typically the selection committee would seek to reward the top overall seed with the easiest road to the Final Four, but apparently this year that is not the case. The South region is stacked full of talented teams- other than Kentucky teams like Baylor and Indiana appear to be particularly dangerous. Luckily for Duke and Kentucky, two of the other biggest threats in this region, Wichita St. and UNLV both went down on Thursday.
As for Duke, this is a team that came off of a difficult stretch late in the season. After the first round none of these games will be easy, regardless of their opponent. Our predictions for the South region had Duke advancing to the Elite 8 before falling to Kentucky, but to even get there will be a challenge. We hope that Duke will find its form and be able to accomplish this. Luckily for us, Duke has proven all year that it will play up or down to its competition, so having other tough teams in the region could actually be beneficial for the Blue Devils. Our predictions have Duke defeating #10 seed Xavier in the second round and #6 seed UNLV in the Sweet 16. We already know the latter will not be happening. There simply isn't another team in this region that will be able to compete with Kentucky, unfortunately. They are too talented and Anthony Davis will give this team fits inside.
We received quite a few questions about Duke forward Ryan Kelly and his availability.
Q: So what's the update on Ryan Kelly? I feel we need him to make a deep run. – @dukesjayash
Q: Will Ryan be back for the NCAA Tournament? – @bryan_williams2
Q: Is Ryan Kelly going to play Friday? And if he does at 100%? – @Dukeallday24
We learned yesterday that Ryan Kelly would not be available to play in Duke's first round contest against Lehigh. His availability beyond then remains to be seen. Rumblings around campus have been that Kelly's sprain was fairly severe, and it appears the team has been rushing to try and get him back on the court as soon as possible. I would say they will probably be cautious in doing so as to not jeopardize his ability to play later in the tournament and train during the offseason. At the moment, I would say that it is doubtful that you see very much of him this weekend, and if you do he will be far from 100%.
As for Kelly's importance to this Duke team, it is unquestionable. When Ryan Kelly plays well, this team wins basketball games. Duke is 17-1 in games where Ryan scores 10 points or more. It was clear that this team was missing something while playing without him in the ACC Tournament. Not only do they lack a big body that eats up space in the paint, they lose one of their better shooters and most versatile matchup problems. Let's all hope for a speedy recovery, because it will be hard for Duke to be successful beyond the first weekend without Ryan Kelly.
Q: If Duke & UK meet in the Elite 8, we'll all start having 1992 flashbacks. What does Duke need to make it happen? – @jstorm64
First thing's first- Duke is going to have to make it to the Elite 8 to face Kentucky. But in order to make it to the Elite 8 and to knock off Kentucky, the Blue Devils will have to follow the same gameplan. First and foremost, they'll need to shoot the lights out. They cannot afford to have a game where they don't knock down their long range shots against any opponent in this region, let alone Kentucky. They will need to get the Plumlee brothers involved early and often inside. Throughout the season, the Miles and Mason have been Duke's two most efficient options on the offensive end. But more than anything, this team will need to defend the hell out of any team they face, especially on the inside. They'll need to lock down the opposing team's big men- for Kentucky this would mean Anthony Davis- and crash the board relentlessly. If these two meet in the Elite 8 we'll have many flashbacks about the greatest college basketball game ever played 20 years ago. But fact of the matter is, Duke was the more talented team in that game. This year, they won't be, so there is a much slimmer margin for error when going up against a power like Kentucky. Unfortunately, to make a long story short, they will need to be nothing short of perfect.
Q: Heard anything on Amile Jefferson and what are our chances in your mind on Shabazz? – @dukefan6190
Amile Jefferson's situation continues to be a mystery to us. It was our understanding that Amile would be prepared to make a decision this past weekend, but it appears he has chosen to wait a bit longer and weigh his options. This indicates that the competition for Amile between Duke and NC State is a bit closer than we originally thought. Our best guess is that he is waiting until the offseason to see whether certain players from Duke or NC State will decide to leave early and go pro before making his decision. It is unclear, however, whether that decision will be motivated by playing time or whether he is waiting to see if certain players he wants to play with will have left school before he arrives. Hopefully more on this situation becomes clear to us soon.
As for Shabazz Muhammad, he continues to weigh his options. My gut feeling is that Duke's chances to land Shabazz are fairly good, but only time will tell at this point. If this season has showed us anything, it's that we need a player like him to come here.
Q: How could anyone pick Missouri to get past the Elite 8 with Frank Haith as their head coach? – @Mark_Jessup
Well, it's pretty easy. We picked Missouri to get to the Final Four in our preview of the West region. Although Haith's reputation as a head coach is suspect due to his past endeavors, you've have to hand it to him and his team because Missouri is playing some fantastic basketball right now. Other than Michigan State, who many consider to be the weakest and most vulnerable of the #1 seeds, there isn't much other competition in the West region for them to face. Other than that, it's just a case of a hot team playing great ball. They've proven to be an offensive juggernaut, and we believe that will at least get them through one of the weaker regions in this year's tournament.
Q: Most memorable tourney game prior to being in college? – @Caroline12White
Great question. As for my most memorable Duke game, it would have to be Duke coming back from 22 points down in the Final Four against Maryland in 2001. I remember staying up late and watching that game with my parents when I was just nine years old. That was probably one of the most exciting basketball games of my childhood and really got me hooked on the NCAA Tournament.
As for my most memorable non-Duke game, I'm going to have to go with the 2008 national championship game: Kansas 75, Memphis 68 in OT. That's definitely one of the most underrated tournament games of the past decade, and Mario Chalmers' 3-pointer to send the game into overtime is definitely one of the most underrated clutch shots ever hit. Derrick Rose showed glimpses of the brilliance we would watch in the NBA for years to come, but good triumphed over evil as John Calipari's Memphis Tigers choked the game away with poor free throw shooting and ineligible SAT scores.
Thanks to everyone for submitting some great questions. Hope you enjoyed the mailbag, and enjoy the basketball this weekend. This is the best weekend in sports.

Accommodating students with disabilities - Principles (fact sheet)
2000 - Once a disability-related need has been identified, or a case of discrimination has been established, education providers have a duty to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities, unless to do so would cause undue hardship. Accommodation is a means of preventing and removing barriers that impede students with disabilities from participating fully in the educational environment. Accommodation involves three principles: dignity, individualization and inclusion.

Kinect Sports was one of the must-have games on for the Xbox 360 Kinect, and showed us that games didn't have to be all about sitting on your sofa getting fat. But can the follow up, Kinect Sports: Season Two, match and build on the first outings success?
We've been getting energetic in front of our TV to find out.
What sports do you get?
There are six sports to master in the game; American football, skiing, baseball, darts, golf, and tennis. Each has single player and multiplayer matches in front of your TV, and Xbox Live matches with others elsewhere around the globe.
Each sport takes on a serious approach, however each also has a fun challenge as well - golf, for example, has Ocean Driver that sees you driving the ball from a cruise liner as far as you can.
Furthermore you get opt for "challenges". These, as the name suggests, allow you to throw down the gauntlet to your friends, and gives a competitive challenge. When you issue a challenge, your friend will see it the next time they log in. As there is no rivalry like the rivalry of mates, it can be a great way to prove that you're better than your friends. Or get your rear-end handed to you, if you're not. this gameplay element only works if you know your mate is hooked on the game too though.
It is all about voice
When Microsoft announced this year's selection of Kinect games, there was a strong emphasis on talking to your console over waving your hands in front of it like you were trying to hail a cab. Kinect Sports: Season Two takes advantage of that in the menu system, and some elements of the gameplay by letting you talk your way through the options in front of you. Say: "Xbox... Select a sport…Golf…One player… Play" and you are teeing off in no time at all.
Playing on our own and with friends we found the system works well, although understandably it was better when there was no one else in the room. It certainly puts the system on an equal footing again with a combination of quick button presses, but it also means that grandparents could navigate through the menu quickly, without having to work out what or where the "A" button is on the Xbox 360 controller.
You'll be videoed
Throughout the entire experience you'll be videoed. Once your humiliation is over, the game will then up the ante and humiliate you all over again by showing you the video. It's a laugh though, as long as you aren't too worried about looking a bit silly. Parents will love this, their kids will not.
The videos can then be uploaded to Kinectshare.com and downloaded to your computer so you can YouTube or Vimeo them or send them instantly, via Facebook.
American Football
American Football will be a new one for UK readers and a game they haven't probably played before. It's also a hard one for a single player, although Kinect Sports: Season Two does its best to make it fun.
Having explained what's going on, and the basic rules, you play the quarterback in the crouch position ready to catch the ball. You've then got to throw it down field and run vigorously on the spot to avoid being "sacked". We sure you can imagine what this looks like, and it's every bit as ludicrous as you might think.
To speed the whole process up you don't have to defend, and plays can either be barked at you by the coach, or you can chose your own.
Gameplay-wise, the games can be quite long. You've got four quarters to get through and plenty of plays within each quarter. That said it moves along quickly, and once you beat the rookie you get to take on pro and then champion, giving you plenty of challenge, and that's before you get started on the multiplayer.
We especially like the bit where you get to scream "Ready, Hike" at the TV to start the play (you can wait for the countdown timer if you are embarrassed).
Two innings, three strikes and you're out. Three players out and you change sides. If you're good, just like a good baseball game, you can go on for ages and the mix between batting and pitches brings plenty of variety. Batting and you've got to swing your arms like you mean it, pitching and then catching means you've got to follow the commands given - a slow ball, fast down the middle - so-on and so-forth.
Catching is very easy, and probably the dullest part of the game. Really, it's just a matter of sticking your arm out at the target. But it means you get to get through the fielding part quicker, and then it's back to the batting, which is more fun.
This is one of the more arduous of the six games, and one that will require you to actually put in some effort. The Grandparents didn't like this one especially.
However it was also one of the most fun, engaging, and one that everyone who played it said was like Wii Ski without the faff of the balance board. They're right too, and If you've played Wii Ski then you'll be right at home here.
The premise is downhill slalom, and that means testing your thigh muscles to the maximum. The more your bend your legs the faster you go, and the jumps give you star-jump practice for good measure. Then there's the leaning from side to side to get between the flags.
A couple of runs and you'll be aching. We certainly were.
The racquet game in the first Kinect Sports was Ping Pong. Here it gets replaced by Tennis, and the tracking engine has been improved significantly. That means top spin, volleys, lobs and plenty of other moves are possible, with the gameplay tracking your wrist movement to pull off all the relevant moves. It's not perfect all the time and sometimes you feel that the game doesn't follow the shot you wanted, but nine times out of ten we were happy with the results, even if that meant missing the serve.
Think Wii Sports Tennis and you'll get the picture, but the Kinect sensor does allows for a greater experience.
If ever there was an excuse to play Kinect and have a pie and a beer in the other hand its got to be Darts. Here the gameplay pace is completely different to the dashing around that you'll have been doing on the other games. But that doesn't mean it is any easier, and like a dart board in the pub, it slowly draws you in, so much so that we audibly let out a yelp when we won - crazy times.
Thanks to the new precision tracking, the Kinect sensor how knows where your hand is and therefore where you are about to throw your dart. The game helps you by first explaining what's going on, but then highlighting where on the board you're supposed to be aiming for (you can turn it off). Trying to get that double 16 has never been so tense.
One of the more successful sports within the game, you get to play a series of made-up holes that enjoy water more than land, for the most part.
Aside from swinging your way to victory there are some clever tricks you can use. Raise your hand to your forehead for example lets you view the course ahead more closely. The same happens when you crouch on the green, while at any point you can step away from the ball to perform a practice shot.
Add that to the ability to slice and dice your shot and the game mechanics are actually quiet good. Not good enough to improve your real life handicap, but enough to benefit those who have played over those who have not.
Kinect Sports was great fun, and Kinect Sports: Season Two not only matches that fun, but ups the ante, makes it easier to enjoy, and embraces a crisper, cleaner tracking capability too.
There aren't really any weak sports here in the same way that football was a bit naff in the original and the track and field a bit hit and miss. American football is fun, Skiing is great, darts is a tension-filled drama and golf is just easy gaming.
What we especially like is that this game really does get you exercising in your living room. Once you're finished, you get a calorie count for that game, and also for your session, which helps you understand when it's acceptable to scoff another chocolate bar or reach for another beer. It's that kind of information that really shows you that you aren't just slouched on a sofa when you play Kinect Sports: Season Two.
Bottom line: if you are enjoying your Kinect, and want a new challenge, this will provide loads of fun and even a little exercise as a bonus.

I think your point is addressing players like Shawn Bradley who, no matter what they try, can't improve their game. While I'll admit that a minority of players out there fall into this category, I'd have to disagree if you're trying to place Ike Diogu in it as well. He shows unlimited potential to grow and improve. However, that's just my opinion. Who knows. Maybe Ike will enter the league and exit it with the same level of game he always had. But I doubt it.
Wow Wow Wow, I am as big of a Ike fan as anyone, and I never said that he wouldnt improve, I was just talking in general
I was actually disagreeing with the point that Zack Randolf could help Diogu to improve alot. I was just pointing out that a player can improve is he has solid coaching and doesnt need a player day in and out working on his skills to learn them, he can get that from tapes/coaches during practices.

Photo Phriday 10Friday, January 23rd, 2009
So it's Friday and that means another edition of Photo Phriday. At some point I'm going to stop numbering them and start naming them. This one's coming a little late because I had an idea I knew I wouldn't have the time for until this evening. What I like about this little experiment is that it forces me to think about the characters a little more, and how I can stick them into situations that make a good photo outside of the comic. What popped in my head this time?
It occurred to me that even bad, dirty little yakuza bunnies need to get clean. Here we see Warusan and Chance in the tub, a hot tub, relaxing after a hard day's being bad. Osokun finds it to be too hot. That and neither of his friends look particularly like James Brown, which would have made a difference.
On another topic, one of the things I like to do is find out who may be talking about Amu's World online. I was checking web traffic today and noticed someone linking us. I want to give a hearty thanks to Ninj4kitt3n on DeviantArt for the link. We appreciate you sending more eyeballs our way. And if anyone else likes the comic enough to link it, and I happen to notice it (really you can just let us know if you want) I'll begin to toss around some shout-outs. We're really tickled that people are talking about it.
Honestly, we're having a blast messing around with the comic, and we're still very much in the beginning part of a big learning stage. We're humbled and honored that there are people who enjoy what we're doing. Keep checking back every Wednesday for new comics, and we promise that as time goes on and we continue to learn the comic will get better and better. More than that, once I develop a strong and consistent system for putting it all together, it may even get more frequent.
Thanks again Amitowners!

6:45 a.m.: Alarm goes off. I hit snooze 4-5 times.
7:00 a.m.: The husband informs me that there was a large-scale ant invasion in the kitchen in which they tried takeover our pizza boxes. Once again, glad I have a close relationship with my snooze button.
7:05 a.m.: Greeted by the puppy who is super excited to see me, even though she slept two feet away from me all night. Puppy logic.
7:10 a.m.: Shower/mini-torture session due to insane sunburn. Also, a mini-torture session sounds adorable.
7:30 a.m.: Get ready for work. It takes awhile because I'm just a regular human.
8:10 a.m.: Hug husband goodbye and walk out the door to go to work and OH SHIT THE CAT GOT OUT!
8:15 a.m.: Chase cat out on sidewalk where it jumps up and hides under our elevated deck.
8:20 a.m.: Chant softly to bushes trying to lure cat, notice the neighbor is outside smoking a cigarette and staring at me. Try to act like chanting at bushes is a totally normal morning activity.
8:25 a.m.: Crawl into bushes trying to grab cat. He darts further back under the deck.
8:30 a.m.: Consider how many panic attacks I'll have if I leave the cat outside. Continue trying to catch the cat.
8:35 a.m.: Have lured the cat out again with chanting. Husband sneaks up behind him and grabs him.
8:40 a.m.: Leave for work and I'm really late. Consider how sympathetic my coworkers are likely to be to "had to climb through bushes in my work clothes to catch my escaped cat" excuse.
8:50 a.m.: I'm on the train and in a constant state of annoyance.
9:15 a.m.: I'm the first one to work. Congratulate myself on not sending a warning message about being late to my coworkers.
9:30 a.m.: Make a deconstructed smoothie for breakfast. Just kidding, it's apples and yogurt.
11:00 a.m.: Really impress my coworkers with my ability to edit a PDF document. Decide to leave it a mystery rather than confessing I have the Pro version of Adobe.
11:42 a.m.: Is it lunch yet? No.
11:43 a.m.: Continue working. Sigh a lot.
12:05 p.m.: Discuss the weird IT problems our office is having. One person suggests it's maybe the wiring. I suggest a haunting.
12:30 p.m.: Get harassed by the office fly, which refuses to die.
1:00 p.m.: Go to my local depressing salad bar, which has no windows in the seating area. I like it because no one bothers me when I keep reading long after I've finished my food. Also, no one else goes there.
2:05 p.m.: My coworker informs me that the office fly committed suicide into a bowl of water in the sink. I feel a little sad. Just kidding, I was about to murder that bitch.
2:52 p.m.: My phone rings and the caller ID says "My Dutch Uncle." Unfortunately, it turns out that I don't have a Dutch uncle and people just pick out weird names for their businesses.
4:59 p.m.: Quittin' time!
5:20 p.m.: About 1,000 people try to jam into a train car that has a 75-person capacity. The train driver is screaming on the intercom, "Be reasonable people!" The people are not reasonable.
5:32 p.m.: There is no AC on the train. I'm dying.
5:40 p.m.: I walk to my parked car, which also doesn't have working AC. I feel like a champion.
5:50 p.m.: Get home. The puppy freaks out like she thought I was dead this whole time. Puppy logic.
6:00 p.m.: Play with the puppy, feed the cats, feed the puppy.
6:30 p.m.: Exercise since my earlier self slept through the alarm and didn't exercise in the morning.
6:32 p.m.: Curse my earlier self.
6:35 p.m.: The husband asks why I'm exercising because I exercised yesterday. I glare at him a lot.
7:00 p.m.: Feed myself.
7:30 p.m.: Work on personal projects instead of drawing a blog post.
7:32 p.m.: Feel guilty.
8:00 p.m.: Flip through the channels a lot. Grumble.
8:15 p.m.: Found a show to watch on Hulu.
8:16 p.m.: The puppy rings her bell to be let out. Grumble.
9:00 p.m.: Is anyone still reading this?
9:45 p.m.: Tell myself that I'm going to go to bed early.
10:00 p.m.: Get sucked into the 10 o'clock news.
10:45 p.m.: Oh shit, it's not really this late, is it?
11:00 p.m.: Go to bed and start falling asleep. Cat that escaped this morning starts pawing my face. Full circle.

Flushing your eye may help relieve mild eye symptoms and is the most important first aid measure for a chemical substance in the eye. The sooner you get a chemical out of the eye, the less damage it may do.
If you are wearing contacts, remove them before flushing your eye. If you are not able to remove a contact, flush your eye with the contact in.
Flush the eye from the inner corner toward the outer corner. This prevents a substance in the eye from washing into the other eye. Flushing the eye will be easier if you have someone who can help you.
Any of the following may be done to flush the eye. You must hold the eyelids open while you:
Do not use alcohol to flush the eye.

If the idea of digging in the dirt has never much appealed to you, consider this: A growing number of studies are finding improved mental and physical health benefits of gardening that extend far beyond the obvious rewards of exercise and fresh air. And in this economy, the free food certainly doesn't hurt. There's no need to dig up your entire backyard, either.
You need only a window box or a few houseplants to see these improvements in your health:
1. Improve your satisfaction with life.
It's hard not to enjoy life when you're surrounded by flowers, vegetables and all the wildlife they attract — and now there's science to back that up. Professors from the University of Texas and Texas A&M asked 298 older adults how they would rate their "zest for life," levels of optimism, and overall resolution and fortitude and found that gardeners had significantly higher scores in all those areas than non-gardeners.
Considering that antidepressant use among adults over 65 has nearly tripled since the 1980s, gardening could be as useful as Prozac for warding off the blues in our aging population.
2. Lower your osteoporosis risk.
It's probably no surprise that gardening, and all the physical activity that goes along with it, leads to weight loss and better overall physical health. But that physical activity can improve your bones as well. In a study of 3,310 older women, researchers from the University of Arkansas found that women involved in yard work and other types of gardening exercises had lower rates of osteoporosis than joggers, swimmers and women who did aerobics.
That likely has to do with the fact that gardening is sort of like weight training, the study authors note; you have to pull weeds, dig holes, carry heavy loads of soil and compost, and do other forms of weight-bearing activities that ward off osteoporosis.
3. Lower your diabetes risk.
One of the primary components of managing diabetes is getting enough physical exercise. Active gardeners easily get more than the recommended 150 minutes per week of exercise, and those who garden just for fun get just slightly less than that, according to research from Kansas State University.
And if you grow food in your garden, you have another diabetes-management tool at your disposal: fresh produce. A number of studies have found that diabetes rates are lower in areas with community gardens, or places where backyard gardening is more common.
4. Better sleep.
The mental health benefits of gardening are so strong that a field of medicine called horticultural therapy has been developed to help people who have psychiatric disorders deal with their conditions. Studies of people with dementia and anxiety have found that gardening helps calm their agitation, leading to better sleep patterns and improved quality of their rest.
There's no reason the rest of us won't benefit, too. Researchers from the International Society for Horticultural Science interviewed 42 people both with cancer and without cancer, and found that all of them used gardening as a coping strategy for stressful life situations. The less we're all stressed out, the better we'll sleep.

Good. Lord. 218MPH is fast, like super fast, like suck-the-teeth-out-the-back-of-your-head super fast. And that's world-record setting speed the Lightning Motorcycle SuperBike just pulled off at the Bonneville Salt Flats last week. Why should you care? Because you can now own one.
The Lightning Motorcycle SuperBike is the the fastest production motorcycle—internal combustion or otherwise—for sale in North America and the fastest electric bike in its class worldwide. It blew the doors off of the previous record by more than 40mph, also held by Lightning Motorcycles. It features a Remy HVH250 electric propulsion motor, an Ener1 battery pack (reputedly good for 100+ freeway miles) and a range of 150 miles.
For reference, 218 MPH is approximately triple—triple—the speed limit in most parts of the USA. Plus, electric motors have this awesome ability to provide 100 percent of the available torque the second you hit the throttle—more power off the line, higher top speed. I'll take five.
You'll have to put down a pretty penny to ride this pony, however. Its $40,000 price tag is triple the $13,700 you'd pay for a 2011 Suzuki Hayabusa.

If you weren't aware that today is New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow's birthday, then you probably haven't turned on a TV or logged into Facebook or Twitter yet. (Side note: If that's not your morning routine, you're already my role model.) But yes indeed, friends, today is the day of birth for the Chosen Gun – trying out some new nicknames in case he ever becomes accurate – and we're certainly not at a shortage of needlessly positive Tebow news or jokes that his birthday is actually December 25.
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio is already salivating over the prospect of a Tim Tebow Wildcat system, even claiming that Tebow may be the greatest left-handed athlete of all-time. My grandmother always told me that hyperbole is the greatest gift. Meanwhile, Tony Sparano, that architect of all those amazing Miami *fart noise* Dolphins *fart noise* offenses, is keeping almost everything about his Wildcat a secret, because he wants it to take two weeks before defenses start stuffing Shonn Greene for no gain.
But today is about celebration for the world's beloved Tebow, and I find there's no better way to honor him than with a special tribute from our dear friends at Rick's Cabaret in New York City, as they passed along a few special birthday pictures this morning. And to top it all off, I made Tebow a very special With Leather photoshop birthday card.

Worker-communist Party of Iran in this post titled: There is no 'right' to nuclear weapons.
Here's an interesting quote from Tagvaee on the West's cultural relativsim when it comes to non-Europeans.
Maryam Namazie: When it comes to the 'third world', you often see the people living there being given the same opinion as the government of that country whereas that wouldn't be the case in the west. For example, if the British government has nuclear weapons, it doesn't automatically mean that it has a right to them or that the British people agree with its having such weapons. Why does that happen, especially when it comes to political Islamic groups or the Islamic Republic of Iran?
Hamid Taqvaee: The problem is that public opinion in western countries or to be exact the media and the government in western countries, categorise people in the 'Third World' in this way. They want to make people believe that whatever happens there and whatever the regimes do there are what people there want. And automatically this implies that governments in the Middle East or in Third World countries are representing their own people. Add to this cultural relativism and you can see what is going on. As a result, they say that Iran is an Islamic country; whatever the Islamic Republic says is what people think and so automatically they conclude that the people of Iran support the Islamic Republic's securing of nuclear weapons. But the real situation in this case and almost every political issue is the exact opposite. The people of Iran automatically oppose what the Islamic regime says and wants because the people of Iran despise this government. Their position on the nuclear issue is opposite of what the government says.

A geezer called John King, "director of brand innovation" for Fallon, reckons that "brands have evolved past the baseline of trust and awareness; now they must learn how to give."
If you want to read the whole schtick, it's in this article, for AdAge.
I couldn't make it right to the end, due to the fact that my attention-span is shot to shit nowadays, but I did like this bit:
A planner friend of mine had this great line about a year ago: "I'm so over messages," she said. Aren't we all; aren't we all.

I agonized over whether to make my first series proposal public or not, Nidhi. I searched the AS forums, I googled, I read everything under the AS guidelines trying to figure out if there was any advantage to making it public. AS states that they "encourages" public projects but in the end, I honestly don't think it matters and they're going to make the decision based on the strength of the submission and what type of project they want to produce. I decided not to make my first submission public because my mini-bible was very detailed and it's a story I'm still actively looking for a home for (didn't want too much of the plot "out there"). I decided to make my second public because I do feel there are some advantages and wanted to see what it was like. The advantages:1. Feedback and support. The social component of it was a big draw for me. I loved WriteOnCon and learned so much from the experience that I wanted to open my project up to public feedback. What I've gotten is tons and tons of support. In the end will it matter? Like I said, if AS falls in love with a project, they're going to add it to the development slate whether it's public or private but there's no way that it hurts to have Borislav up to the #2 spot for children and tweens or that Borislav was burning up the AS newsfeed all weekend! That being said, I also don't think it's going to hurt if a public project doesn't get much feedback. 2. Industry eyes outside of AS. A long shot yes, but a private submission has zero chance of being seen by an industry professional roaming the AS site, whereas a public one does. Notable projects are ones that AS has not added to their development slate but they found interesting enough to highlight. You never know who is watching/reading. 3. Community building. If you do it right, even if you only get a handful of people to leave feedback or who get excited about your proposal, it's a handful more than when you started. I taught myself screenwriting and it wasn't easy, Nidhi! I read tons of books. Some of my favorites are:1. Writing the Pilot, William Rabkin2. Writing Screenplays That Sell, Michael Hauge (his Story Master website is great too, http://www.storymastery.com/)3. Writing the TV Drama, Pamela DouglasAnd this little SP titles is so great for nitty gritty style issues:4. Your CUT TO: is Showing, by T.J. AlexWe also have a thread here with some other favorites: https://www.scbwi.org/boards/index.php?topic=70301.0There's also tons of scripts on the internet. The more screenplays you read, the more natural it becomes. WARNING: You can't necessarily learn screenwriting by reading scripts by famous screenwriters. This is where Your CUT TO: is SHOWING comes in. There are things stylistically that JJ Abrams can do that scream newbie in a spec (speculative) script. I learned this the hard way and had to reformat big time! I'm still learning. It is a challenge to go from prose/narrative to dialogue/action! Hope this helps...keep those questions coming! I want BBoarders to take over AS!
I'm no expert, but the way I understand it, as soon as you commit an idea, script, or whatever to paper, it is considered yours and is protected by copyright laws. Sending a ms off with the comment that it has been copyrighted brands you as a newbie :sailor.That being said, if I'm wrong, please someone correct me.

Observing the Geminids
For a short summary of this meteor shower, click here
Location of the Geminids
Location of the Geminids
The appearance of this meteor shower seems to have been fairly sudden during the 1860s. It was first noted in 1862, when R. P. Greg (Manchester, England) found a radiant in the constellation Gemini for the period of December 10-12. B. V. Marsh and A. C. Twining (United States) independently discovered the activity around the same time. A. S. Herschel noted meteors emanating from Gemini during December 12/13, 1863, as well as three fireballs from near the same radiant in 1863 and 1864. During the 1870s, observations of the Geminids became more numerous as astronomers realized a new annual shower was active.
The first estimate of the strength of the Geminids came in 1877, when the hourly rate was given as about 14. The same rate was also given by observers in England during 1892, but it was noted that almost twice as many bright meteors were present than had been seen in 1877. In 1896, English observers gave hourly rates near 23 and also observed "a number of bright pale green meteors...."
The reported rates continued to increase through most of the 20th century. During the 1900s, the rates averaged about 20 per hour. The rates averaged near 50 per hour during the 1930s, 60 per hour during the 1940s and 1950s, 65 per hour during the 1960s, and 80 per hour during the 1970s. The rates stayed near 80 per hour during the remainder of that century.
Visual observations have shown this shower to exhibit a very sharp peak of activity, with hourly rates remaining above a value of half the maximum for about two days. Although visual evidence of this shower indicates activity persists from December 6 to 19, photography and radar studies have revealed apparent activity spanning the period of November 30 to December 29.
A major advance in the understanding of this meteor stream was made in 1947. F. L. Whipple had been involved in the Harvard Meteor Project, a photographic survey aimed at better understanding meteors and their origins by obtaining data that could be used to calculate orbital elements. While analyzing meteors associated with the Geminids he found an orbital period of only 1.65 years, as well as a high eccentricity and a low inclination. Such an orbit attracted the attention of M. Plavec (Prague), who began investigating how the gravity of the planets changed the orbit.
Plavec found that only two planets affect the orbit of the Geminids---Earth and Jupiter, though the former was considered negligible compared to the effects of the giant planet. "From the observer's point of view," he wrote, "the most important phenomenon is the rapid backward shift of the [date of maximum]." The degree of this shift was calculated to cause the date of maximum to occur one day earlier every 60 years. Another interesting conclusion involved the point of intersection between the stream's orbit and the plane of Earth's orbit. For the year 1700, it was found that the intersection point was placed 0.1337 AU inside Earth's orbit. For 1900, the intersection point was located 0.0178 AU inside Earth's orbit and in 2100, the point would be 0.1066 AU outside of Earth's orbit. Thus, Plavec not only showed why the activity of the Geminids was steadily increasing, but he also demonstrated that the activity would eventually decline and that sometime in the future Earth would no longer contact the stream's orbit.
A major question concerning the Geminid stream involves its origin. It was long known that no parent comet for this stream was present in current catalogs, but, since the exact size and shape of the stream were not known until 1947, few conjectures were made. In 1950, Plavec theorized about the Geminid stream's parent body and pointed out that the "existence of a parent comet in such a short-period orbit, even in the past, seems to be not very probable. Planetary perturbations could scarcely have reduced the semimajor axis so much. More probably, the Geminids were separated from a parabolic comet by the close approach of the comet to the sun." Concerning a possible candidate for the parabolic comet mentioned, Plavec considered the great comet of 1680 (after a suggestion made in 1931 by Maltzev) and concluded that the close approach of the two orbits at a point slightly beyond the Geminid perihelion point, made a possible connection impossible to exclude.
L. Kresak strengthened the comet link to this meteor stream's formation, but instead of offering a theory as exotic as Plavec's, he favored a more direct formation of the Geminids. In 1972, he wrote that the parent comet "must have previously occupied the present orbit." He stressed that the compact nature of the stream would eliminate the possibility of it having formed in a different orbit and then been perturbed into the present orbit. Eleven years later, Kresak's theory would gain considerable strength.
On October 11, 1983, during a search for moving objects amidst the data gathered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), S. Green and J. K. Davies found a rapidly moving asteroid in Draco. The next evening, C. Kowal (Palomar Observatory, California, USA) confirmed the body by photographing it with the 48-inch Schmidt telescope. The asteroid received the preliminary designation 1983 TB. As early orbital calculations were being made, the International Astronomical Union Circular for October 25, 1983, relayed the opinion of Whipple that this asteroid moved in an orbit almost identical to that of the Geminid meteor stream. Additional observations confirmed the link and the asteroid eventually received the permanent designation of 3200 Phaethon. The excitement of having found the parent body of the Geminid stream was almost dwarfed by another realization, this was the first time an asteroid had been definitely linked to a meteor shower and it subsequently serves as an important link between comets and meteor streams.

Leading U.K. streaming video provider leverages newest Sola Analytics module to access account-level service data for customer troubleshooting and quality of service
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading provider of cloud services for delivering, optimizing and securing online content and business applications, today announced that blinkbox, the U.K.-based TV and movie streaming service, is using Akamai's Viewer Diagnostics as part of its customer care efforts. A component of Akamai's Sola Analytics media measurement and analysis product, Viewer Diagnostics is designed to provide blinkbox with immediate access to individual account-level quality of service and experience information to help deliver efficient online support of each customer.
blinkbox is taking advantage of Viewer Diagnostics to help ensure that the customer care experience is equal to that of the overall viewing experience its customers have grown to expect. The online video provider is popular among U.K. consumers thanks to an extensive library of TV programs and movies, which focuses largely on blockbusters and new releases. Customers have the option to rent titles and watch within 30 days or purchase them outright. The content can be viewed across devices including connected TVs, gaming consoles, Android and iOS tablets, Blu-ray players, PCs and select set-top boxes.
"Today's consumers are not only accustomed to watching high-quality video wherever and whenever they want, but also expect a commensurate level of service and support when taking advantage of streaming services," said Jon Robinson, Group Head of IT, blinkbox. "Akamai's Sola Analytics solution is giving our IT, ops and support teams easy access to a wealth of critical information that can be used to quickly identify streaming issues at an individual viewer level. The kind of insight Viewer Diagnostics affords is extremely valuable in keeping customers satisfied and ensuring they get the best out of the service."
Viewer Diagnostics provides real-time access to viewing experience information for each account without revealing personally identifiable information. Data tracks back multiple billing cycles and includes activity summaries and records for behavioral and quality metrics such as errors, rebuffering and video quality metrics among many others. An intuitive user interface uses color shading to highlight dates during which customers may have experienced service issues, allowing customer service representatives to easily identify which titles exhibited lower performance characteristics and drill down into detailed viewing session data.
"With more and more consumers using online video as their key, if not primary means of enjoying their favorite movies and programs, it's imperative to deliver a great all-around experience," said Kurt Michel, director of product marketing for Akamai's media solutions. "blinkbox's use of Viewer Diagnostics shows how a service provider can combine a compelling library and high-quality content delivery with an effective support function that facilitates quick resolutions to customer issues."
Viewer Diagnostics is available as an add-on module to Sola Analytics, Akamai's cloud-based video measurement and reporting product. The combination of Viewer Diagnostics, Audience Analytics behavior and quality analysis and QoS real-time operations monitoring forms a powerful analysis and reporting solution designed to address critical online video service and operations requirements.
In addition to Viewer Diagnostics, blinkbox is using Akamai Sola Sphere for content storage and delivery to support the growing scale of its service and high standards of quality. Both are part of Akamai's Sola Media Solutions suite of cloud-based content preparation, storage and delivery tools.

I was using streamtransport for capturing rtmp but flash issues with IE8 in win7x64bit are a big problem.. the video does not load for website like zoig.com.
I tried
- URL snooper and rtmpdump
- hidownload
- orbit downloader
- NETfx
Bahman: I can't help but notice you actually know alot about download streaming videos. Mind give me a hand with some of mine?
I can't seem to get URL Snooper to find the right rtmp adress. So, I've used firefox cache to get it.
With rtmpdump, I managed to "sucessfully" download the file, but it won't open for nothing. (Currently using Crystal Player Professional with all Codecs in).
The adress of the streaming I want:
Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved. Just added a single command line on rtmpdump + used Any Video Converter to change format to custom *.avi.

I'm really glad you could solve it your self!! well done!
But it is playable without changing format!! I used VLC/MPC, works fine!!

Hello Batman i have used most programs with no luck it seems urlsnooper is able to find the rtmpe stream but finding hard download via rtmpdump here is the stream rtmpe://ak.securestream.channel4.com/4oD/mp4:assets/CH4_08_02_900_51435001001002_001.mp4
Download this package and extract it into one folder, then open rtmpexplorer.exe, will be opened 2 windows(rtmpexplorer+rtmpsrv)!! Put the webpage link in rtmpexplorer and wait till video starts playing, then you will see rtmpsrv detects the stream url and tries to download that!!
Note: For opening rtmpexplorer, you need .Net Framework 4!!
BTW, my name is Bahman!!
thank you for a fast reply sorry i got your screen name wrong lol i have downloaded the package run the program and went to the website but now the video will not load in the browser
the video is now playing but the program is sitting idle
Sometimes on some PC rtmpsrv doesn't work!! dunno why!!
This time, open rtmpexplorer, close rtmpsrv and open rtmpsuck instead!! Then try again!!
same idle again
Can anyone help in downloading from http://www.schooltv.nl/beeldbank/clip/20040130_bommenrotterdam01 ?
Tried various tools and rtmpdump command line but keep getting file/stream not found or the tools just don't pick up the URLs or do so incorrectly. Or just give an error (like jaksta).
Here is the script that rtmpsrv detects for me!! but you can't use mine, because there are some auth strings that are valid only for some mins (I've red highlighted them)!! So, Try to making rtmpsrv work or try to finding yours auth strings with StreamTransport or GetFLV or TubeDigger or anything else!! Then, replace them in my script and run rtmpdump!!
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://ll.securestream.channel4.com:1935/a4174/e1" -a "a4174/e1" -W "http://www.channel4.com/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-11.21.2.swf" -p "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/shameless/4od#3298827" -y "mp4:assets/CH4_08_02_900_51435001001002_001.mp4?e=1328097457&ip=126.96.36.199&h=41aca7b4361beee667698e6cd32f87c5" -o CH4_08_02_900_51435001001002_001.flv

That can be downloaded with StreamTransport Version 22.214.171.1241
From here ---> http://www.digital-digest.com/software/StreamTransport_history.html#6
Hi bat999,
thanks for the re'. Whilst the older version does do more than all the other tools I've tried, it doesn't work either.
Playing the movie in streamtransport only works for the first 16 seconds, after that it looks like it tried to load (get the flashy circle/loading thingy). This happens consistently. The movie appears to be broken down into parts or something (wireshark seems to confirm this).
The problem with downloading appears to be the same (I guess). It downloads the first ~400kb, but then stops/errors out. Resuming doesn't work.
Errors out with this:
Download: CRTMPDownload::InnerProcessDataDriverExp:ata-driven threads stopped unexpectedly because of (CRTMPStream.cpp:225:Failed to recv data.Error10054:Unknown error).).
Thanks for the re'.
^Look at my above post!!
bahman yeah streamtransport will only able to find the ads urls as soon as the video plays nothink i find the only program that can find the url is urlsnooper and i manged to get rtmpsrv / explorer to find video content but only seems to be able to download the ads same as streamtransport getflv seems to get the 10 secs of the video then cancels download
this is what urlsnooper finds rtmpe://ll.securestream.channel4.com/a4174/e1/mp4cuassets/CH4_08_02_900_51435001001002_001.mp4 i can seem to find any auth code
bah i manged to download the video file thank you for your help and support i think before (DEP) Data Execution Prevention was stopping from rtmp/explorer from working correctly
to help other people in the furture if anyone else has a problem with the program try this bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff into cmd then restart and try again

I'm Glad to hear that, indeed!!
BTW, StreamTransport 184.108.40.2061 is able to find the link and download!! I forgot to say which version!!
thank you i give it a go
For some common streaming video content like youtube, yahoo video, google video etc, some frequently-used method can deal with download tasks. However, if you intend to download RTMP video streams, perhaps you will not be allowed to carry on downloading for it has been encrypted by the website. You may also try some free software like orbit downloader, real player and video download tool to access rtmp video download.

Hi guys,
You've described the method of downloading from 3voor12.nl before. Unfortunately, they have redesigned their site and that method doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have any tips about how to do it now? For example this concert.
I have found out by URLSnooper that the URL links to http://content.omroep.nl/vpro/protected/luisterpaal/video/2012/03/27/KakmaddafakkaFNL.mp4, but it won't let me access that.

IDM? When I enter http://content.omroep.nl/vpro/protected/luisterpaal/video/2012/03/27/KakmaddafakkaFNL.mp4 in the grabber I again get the missing credentials, when I use http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/playerpage.program.13377748.html in the grabber it finds 1000+ things.

The new Continental GT: This is a car that redefines what a grand tourer can be. Unrivalled in its class, it combines the striking design, phenomenal power and unrivalled craftsmanship for which Bentley is famous. It is the future of grand touring.
Classic grand tourer proportions are fused with a superformed aluminium bodyshell and a completely new chassis and electrical architecture. The result is a revolutionary car with recognisable Bentley hallmarks including the 'power line', which emerges confidently from between the headlamps, running down the side of the car to the rear haunch, evoking a sense of both speed and strength.
Optional 22" wheels with a sculptural twisted form provide the perfect finishing touch to the breath-taking exterior.
Optional 22" wheels with a sculptural twisted form provide the perfect finishing touch to the breath-taking exterior.
This is a stunning example of automotive design – one that can be enhanced with a wealth of options, including a choice of innovative Dual Veneers, to personalise your car. You can also add a panoramic roof - the new fixed glass roof for Continental GT comes with an Alcantara interior blind which is matched to your hide colour.
A truly thrilling drive
The new Continental GT has been engineered to deliver an unrivalled driving experience, providing effortless comfort or utter exhilaration as the occasion demands. Its 6.0 litre, W12 engine propels it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds) and on to a top speed of 207 mph (333 km/h).
Under normal conditions, it operates as a rear wheel drive car. But any loss of traction triggers the Active All Wheel Drive system, with the immediate engagement of the two front wheels providing additional grip, the moment it is required.
With an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers impressively smooth acceleration, a 48 V Active Roll Control system that optimises handling and electric steering that improves feedback to the driver, this is a car that demands to be driven.
