You gotta have a draft routine; the things you do or eat or wear to ensure you're in the best possible zone while picking players that you will spend the next seven, er, five months swearing at. What do you mean LaMarcus Aldridge might miss the start of the season? He was my fourth pick! Oh, that sonuvabee! Personally, I enjoy conducting my drafts with a bottle of marshmallow-flavored vodka and a seat in my massage chair without the constraints of wearing pants. My draft game is on point, believe. Don't worry, fellow Wall's Dougie Leaguers, we won't be in the same room, so it won't be an issue. Really, it's only an issue in live drafts. My friends get weird about the semi-nudity. Frankly, they should be less worried about that and more worried about all the marshmallow vodka I'm no longer planning on sharing since they made fun of me.
Another important draft day tool designed to make you feel most comfortable is the 2011 Fantasy Basketball Draft Tiers. <– Note: don't click that link if you do not want to see the spreadsheet. I probably didn't have to tell you that, but they have warnings on Tide containers asking parents not to let their children do shots of detergent, so I might as well cover my bases.
I find that having draft tiers handy saves a lot of time in middle-to-late rounds. You must find that to be true, too, because a fair amount of you asked about this year's draft tiers. Well, here 'tis. By the end of your draft, most drafters are focusing in on either specific stats necessary to round out their teams or specific positions. And even among those searching for specific stats, usually only two or three positions are possible destinations to find that player you're looking for.
The list is divided among the top five positions, which you already know if you've already peaked at the list. But if you've already peeked at the list, I'm at a loss as to why you've gone back to read this last part. Anyway …
In case your scroll up function is on the fritz, feel free to click here for the 2011 Fantasy Basketball Draft Tiers.

In April I wrote an article for Smashing Magazine entitled 'Designing for the Future Web'. In it I laid out my thoughts and opinions on how our experience of the web would change over the next few years, and how we would need to adapt our thinking around design and content. The main points of the article were:
- The number of devices connected to the internet would grow
- We would not be able to predict with any certainty where or how our sites would be seen
- To maintain a seamless customer experience, users should be able to have the same core experience regardless of the device, and switching from one to the other should present no challenge.
- To design for this we would need to concentrate on content structure first and visual design second, creating richer experiences for more capable devices.
Unsurprisingly, considering the general audience demographic of Smashing Magazine, this didn't go down well with some of the readers. My favourite comments being:
i feel you my friend, as far from i know design is dead and designer swept away by the multitude of the wave. im thinking doing some admin/ Logistic work rather than be a creative. suck my balls corporate people – YR
…. that's Fking RETARDED, please get better authors on here…. – Nick
Yes, I have taken that last comment slightly out of context, but it tickled me, what can you do? (He was actually talking about my views on keeping JavaScript off of first generation mobile phones).
Well, I'll ready myself for more of the same, because, without a doubt, content is more important than design.
Go on then, tell us why
The internet has always been a joined up medium. HTML was designed to link together documents to create a 'web' of content that could be searched and explored.
Since the days of CERN, the amount of content that has been created has grown in unspeakably large volumes, to the point where no human could ever possibly know where to find the content they need. So we developed search engines to help us with this. They crawled and indexed on our behalf so that we could bring information to us when we needed it. And this is the crux of it: the right information when we need it.
We've now reached a point where the ability to access information is driving changes in the products and services that are being developed, and in our own behaviour.
Product evolution
In iOS5, Safari has finally gained the same 'Reader' functionality that is available on the Mac OSX version. Pressing the 'Reader' button will strip all design from the page and publish only the content, resized and restyled. No fancy fonts, just Georgia. It's like you're reading a page from a paperback. If you like it, but don't have the time to finish it, just save it for later.
Why have they introduced this? Because Apple understands that you go to sites to consume information. That content is valuable as a traffic driver, and in turn, a revenue generator. So the experience of reading that content on a mobile devices must be as clear and simple as possible.
Service evolution
The concept that information is always available, wherever we are, is defining a new set of services. Companies like FourSquare could not have existed a few years ago, but the broad availability of hardware-specific functionality such as geo-location has changed the game. Their partnership with Groupon to provide localised real-time deals starts to hit the mark, despite the issues with the Groupon IPO. These service are not about design, they are about content. Targeted content.
Behaviour change
The evolutions in products and services are in turn driving a behaviour change. Our ability to access information wherever we are is funnelling into the purchase process. We check prices and specification in-store at the point of purchase, we may even be swayed from one brand to another, or one shop to another, by the targeted offers we receive. Targeted location-aware, identity-aware content is turning us into savvy consumers.
The result…
We're finally able to make good on the marketer's dream: the ability to deliver the right content to the right person at the right time, driving sales and adding value to the purchasing process.
It's clear, design is the enabler not the driver; users don't need design, they need information that benefits them in a clear and tangible way.
So, sorry designers, but content is more important than design.

|And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared: TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
G. Altshuller (H. Altov) Translated by Lev Shulyak.
1990. 171P. This legendary book was first published in English in 1990. It is Altshuller's most popular book in Russia on how to become an inventor and how to solve technical problems. Originally written for high school students, it engages readers of all ages by inviting them to learn by doing. The translator, Lev Shulyak, is himself an accomplished inventor, engineer and TRIZ expert. About the Author: Genrich Altshuller received his first Soviet patent at the age of 14. While in his early 20s, he began developing TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. Stalin rewarded him with 25 years imprisonment in Siberia. Released after Stalin's death, he led the underground TRIZ revolution, a fundamental shift in the technical creativity paradigm. Altshuller spent the remainder of his life working to advance what has become the science of TRIZ. He died in 1998. The similarity between many of these techniques and Vedic Mathematics is striking, particularly considering that both authors developed their systems around the same time period.

Valenti pulls all Nilan references from blog
PITTSFIELD -- Dan Valenti has complied with a Central Berkshire District Court judge's order to remove any references to Meredith Nilan from his blog, Planet Valenti.
"No one believes more in free speech, the necessity of a free press to the fair functioning of democracy, and in our First Amendment rights than we do," Valenti wrote on his blog on Thursday.
"However, we are complying with the court order to establish our belief that we must first, before anything, be a 'nation of laws.'"
Valenti did not immediately respond to a request from The Eagle for further comment.
On Wednesday, Judge Bethzaida Sanabria-Vega issued Nilan, 24, a harassment prevention order against Valenti, which included a provision that he remove "any and all references" to Nilan from "any and all websites, blogs, etc. ..."
The order also requires Valenti to stay 100 yards away from Nilan, stay away from her workplace and her home, and refrain from any contact or abuse.
Nilan told The Eagle that Valenti's blog contained lies, innuendo and disortions about her and her family, and that she's been the victim of threats.
"Mr. Valenti's continued vitriol and his repeated inclination to print lies and sensationalize every aspect of my case has made me fear for my personal safety," Nilan wrote in a statement to The Eagle. A Las Vegas man is facing charges for threatening her life.
Nilan, the daughter of Clifford Nilan, the head of the county Superior Court probation department, was the driver in a December car-pedestrian accident that left a city man with serious injuries. She had been the subject of numerous posts on Valenti's blog concerning the accident.
On his blog, Valenti wrote that he went beyond what the judge ordered and removed any reference to the accident and the people involved "to demonstrate our good faith in dealing with the order. He also said he wouldn't allow any people to post comments about the case either.
The order remains in effect until July 9 when a hearing will take place in District Court to determine if it should be extended. Valenti is entitled to attend that hearing.
Nilan was charged with misdemeanor negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident for a Dec. 8 accident in which the car she was driving struck 46-year-old Peter More of Pittsfield. Moore suffered a broken neck and other injuries.
On June 6, the misdemeanor charge against Nilan was continued without a finding for six months in District Court. The charge of leaving the scene was dismissed. Nilan said what happened on Dec. 8 was an accident.

Sendai Skips the Beat
Yves De Mey and Peter Van Hoesen's latest record, Geotope, is awash in glitchy ambience and eerie static. MUTEK caught up with two of Belgium's finest creatures of clicks to discuss the design of their experimentation
Michael-Oliver Harding - 15 mai 2012
Their paths first crossed, according to Yves De Mey, at Clicks 'n' Cars, an impressively off the wall installation of empty car frames that Peter Van Hoesen and his Foton collective performed in the early aughts (and which, incidentally, blew this writer away at Montreal's 2003 Elektra Festival). In a nutshell, car parts hanging from the ceiling become de facto speaker membranes thanks to attached shakers, with all the sheet metal generating unmistakably ominous tones. Yves met Peter's Clicks partner, who invited him to play at Foton's following car-part concerto in their native Belgium, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Sendai, the duo's unearthly collaboration, finds the longtime friends finally rekindling with the experimental inclinations that first brought them together. Both established techno producers, composers and sound designers, they have been tweaking with digital clicks and cuts in evermore startling ways since the late nineties. Yves De Mey was long tapped into the UK drum'n'bass and breakbeats scene, before cultivating a keen interest in sparse, experimental sound design – the infinite possibilities provided by his modular synthesizer system sealed the deal. Peter Van Hoesen has been a pivotal player in Brussels' electronic scene since the mid-nineties, known for his dark, bass-heavy techno, his influential labels Time To Express and (the more experimental) Foton, and his record Entropic City, considered one of the defining techno records of 2010.
Both walk a fine line between dancefloors and daydreams, between bustling rhythms and bold sonic abstraction, constantly lurking in electronic music's most dangerous, remote alleys. Both boast wide-ranging experience in theatre, contemporary dance and film scoring (which have served as apt outlets for their hiss, reverb, and drone orientations), as well as many R&D projects into extreme frequencies. Now, after two techno-minded EPs in 2009, Sendai's long-awaited debut LP, Geotope, marks a clear break from 4/4 tradition. Rescued from all beat-driven shackles, focusing all energies on no-holds-barred experimentation, Sendai draws us in with their evanescent textures and shadowy ambience. We spoke with Yves and Peter in early April.
After releasing two EPs in 2009, both of you basically fell off the Sendai grid. Peter moved from Brussels to Berlin to focus on his label Time To Express, while Yves stayed in Belgium to work on a slew of sound-design projects. Was it a conscious decision to focus on other projects? Did you want to take a few steps back from Sendai and see where it should go next?
Peter: We had some time to reflect, and we were forced to think about the music we wanted to make instead of just making it. I think that brought us to where we wanted to be, because while we enjoyed doing the two techno EPs, we knew that wasn't going to be what Sendai should be about. We both always had an interest in experimental music, and it sort of feels more natural for us to make what we're making now, instead of making techno.
Your backgrounds both encompass sound design, theatre and dance, and an interest in experimental production. So I guess it was just a matter of time before you'd eventually collaborate?
Yves: With our work as sound designers in movies, theatre, and other stuff, there's a lot of research that goes into sound design, and that's definitely something that brings us together. We share this knowledge, we play things out loud for each other, and I feel, almost in a romantic way, that this is where everything connects.
Peter: Awww! Yes, it just occurred to me that the context in which we met was actually experimental music. Because what we were doing back then with Foton was purely experimental, and Yves was at the time moving away from his drum 'n' bass past into very experimental territory. And it's around that time we both met. So in a way, the starting point was already pretty experimental. And then we found out that we had pretty similar backgrounds musically, which of course continues the whole story.
What was the production process like for this record? Did you have extensive conversations about where you wanted to take the music, and what mood you were looking to strike? Would one of you create a shell for the composition and then go back and forth?
Yves: That could really vary from track to track. When we started to work on the album, we were usually both in the studio, so sometimes Peter would come up with a certain sound or a loop, and I came up with something from my modular system so, in a way, we can really say that it's live recorded! Not live produced, but definitely live recorded. We really did it all together. We have this veto system in the studio, so as soon as Peter or me think that something is total crap, we just say it and move on to something else.
Peter: Yeah, we don't want to be a democracy, so if one of us doesn't like it, that's enough for us to just trash the thing. Eventually, you end up with something that we both really like, which guarantees the quality. Also, we indeed did a lot of things live, sometimes even in such a way that we would record sounds from the modular, I would work on it for a couple of minutes, and then order another sound from Yves. He would make it on the modular, send it back to me, I'd record it and that's how we'd proceed, step by step. So it really was an interplay between two different people and two different ways of working as well. The modular is very hands-on fro Yves, while I would sit in front of the computer making the rough edits.
Peter, you've said that your ideal setup is one that combines machines and software. That clearly seems to be the philosophy that has guided this project along.
Peter: Yes, that is definitely what we are about. We're playing live tomorrow at Ghent's Resonance festival, and we've got more machines than laptops – it's a nice collection. I think it's important that we have this mix, because you interact differently with the music, and it's also two different people doing two different things, which is also very important.
For your Geotope live set, you've said that you want to achieve both sound and visual synthesis on stage, and that audio and visual elements are equally important in such an exploratory context. Yves, you've programmed a software environment from scratch for the visuals. Will it feature any footage or clips, or is everything purely generative?
Yves: There's practically no footage, just one tiny bit, but it's not used as video. It's used to map textures to certain things I do in the visuals. Everything from the visuals is indeed generative, so if there's no sound coming into the computer, there's no visual. It extracts certain parameters from the sound and, with that, it builds the image. I control which parameters I need. There's a lot of geometric shapes in there, and also a bunch of lines, depending on the quality of the sound, whether it's a bass, a mid or a treble sound. It all responds in very different ways.
Did you have any references in devising these computer-generated visuals?
Yves: I could give a very dangerous reference. If you think of Raster-Noton visuals, also without any footage, it's visual synthesis.
Peter: It might be interesting at some point to include some footage, maybe put something which hints at narrative content, but right now we're much more interested in the abstract shapes and forms and geometries, because it kind of goes well with our music.
Yves: And there's a big change in the visuals right now, because there's colour. When it was just in B&W, we had this very high-tech feel, a kind of mathematical sound synthesis. Now, there's perhaps more poetry in the visuals. I think that's because of the colour, but also the music. There's a lot more poetry in the music we make now than when we were making techno-like music.
For both of you, this record marks a return to your experimental roots. Lately, we've seen a number of techno-minded producers shift back toward abstract sounds and textures, taking after approaches that were perhaps the domain of experimental artists some 10 years ago. Why do you think that's the case?
Yves: Maybe a lot of techno producers, through working with their machines for years, found that it's a nice way of escaping techno to work with the same machines to make some kind of experimental music. I also think there are a number of labels we've seen in the last 10 years who were successful with experimental music, which opened the minds of many listeners – because I don't think a lot of techno producers would make experimental music if there wasn't an audience for it.
As proof, there's a ton of mixes you can find online. But something that really bothers me is that most of the mixes start with a 10-minute experimental track and then just go back to techno for the rest of the 90 minutes. Nevertheless, I think there's a certain interest and openness to it, and I hope it continues, because it makes things more interesting. I try to follow what's happening in techno, but I don't buy it.
Peter: Well, not anymore, but you used to buy a lot!
Yves: I used to, but I've kind of lost interest. Because to my ears at least, there's much more to discover on a sonic level in the experimental realm, and that's where my heart lies. I'm not saying that innovation only happens in experimental music, but it's probably easier to find it there. Because you don't have to make people dance.
Peter: Yes, there's less of a functional requirement with experimental music. I definitely think it's a good thing that techno has become more experimental or more open to different sounds. But on the other hand, it still needs to move the dancefloor, and that's a very important challenge that people should keep in mind: make it interesting and experimental enough, but still keep the dancefloor going.
Sendai performs their Geotope A/V show at MUTEK 2012. They perform on Friday, June 1st as part of Nocturne 3's Red Bull Music Academy Stage at the SAT.

Baeza Cathedral
Jabalquinto Palace
Jabalquinto Palace's façade
San Francisco Auditorium, Baeza
Plaza de Santa María square with the cathedral in the background
World Heritage, a certification granted by UNESCO.
This town in the province of Jaen stands on a little promontory, dominating a landscape of olive trees, in the centre of the county of La Loma. Declared of historic and artistic importance, Baeza is home to an incredible legacy of Renaissance architecture;awarded the World Heritage designation by the UNESCO; where ornate carved stone mingles with traditional whitewashed houses. Set on the Andalusian Renaissance Route and the Nazarite Route, it is a wonderful place for touring the whole region and tasting its pure olive oil, focus of the Mediterranean diet.
The Roman Vivatia and the Spanish-Moorish Bayyasa were very important in the Middle Ages because of their strategic position. Situated between Castile (Christian kingdoms) and Andalusia (occupied by the Moors), many battles and skirmishes on the border took place here. It was Ferdinand III the Saint who reconquered the town in 1227, and from that moment it became the spearhead of the attacks against the Kingdoms of Taifas, and it earned its name, "Royal Nest of Sparrowhawks". The town achieved its greatest splendour during the 16th and 17th centuries, when enormous Renaissance buildings were erected. The Cathedral In the Cathedral quarter you can find some of the town's most beautiful buildings. Built on the site of an old mosque, the current Renaissance ensemble of Santa María conserves Gothic elements, such as Puerta de la Luna door (13th century), and Mudejar elements, such as the pointed horseshoe arches in the chapels. This combination of styles can also be seen in the sturdy cloister. Attached to the cathedral we can find the Casas Consistoriales Altas, a municipal building, and opposite is the fountain of Santa María, which was commissioned during the reign of Philip II. Another monumental site that can be seen is the Jabalquinto Palace and San Felipe Neri Seminary, which currently houses the International University of Andalusia. The palace boasts exquisite Isabelline decor on the front, and in the cloister we can admire the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. Its assembly hall is worth visiting as it houses Romanesque capitals from the old church of San Juan. Another place that should not missed is the Old University. This 16th century building used to be a high school ("Instituto de Enseñanza") where the famous poet Antonio Machado taught French for many years. Before making a stop at the Pósito warehouse and La Alhóndiga, an old house where grain was bought and sold (17th century), you should visit the Church of Santa Cruz, as it is one of the most exceptional examples of Romanesque architecture that remains in Andalusia. Amid numerous ancestral homes and mansions you'll come across the Plaza del Pópulo square, where you can find the Casa del Pópulo house (Civil Courts and Public Notary Offices), Los Leones Fountain, the old Carnicería building, Puerta de Jaén gate and Villalar arch. It is one of the most charming spots in Baeza, and next to the noble buildings you can spot several sections of the old walls and the gate. In the Plaza de Cándido Elorza square there are also many historic monuments, both religious and civil. The Palaces of Elorza, Cerón and Condes de Garcíes, and the houses of the Cabrera and Acuña families prove that many noble and aristocratic families lived in Baeza in the 17th century. Nearby you can find the elegantly shaped Church of San Pablo. Jaén The province of Jaén is full of interesting historic towns and nature areas. As part of the Renaissance Route you can find Úbeda, which is also in the district of La Loma. In the nature reserves of Despeñaperros, Sierra de Andújar, and Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas there are many places to go hiking and to practise environmentally-friendly sports. Linares, Baños de la Encina and Andújar are towns that are worth visiting. The Route of the Caliphate and the Route of the Nasrids go through Jaén. Alcaudete, Martos, Porcuna and Alcalá la Real on one hand, and Mengíbar, Jodar and Jimena on the other, are important milestones on these routes. These places are full of good examples of the heritage of Al-Andalus. There are parador hotels in both Úbeda and Cazorla. A 13th century Moorish fortress, a 16th century Renaissance palace and a typical Andalusian farmhouse offer many rooms so you can find a place to rest on your journey. These are also excellent places to taste the Andalusian cuisine, where pure olive oil – Sierra de Segura and Sierra Mágina designations of origin from Jaén – is an essential ingredient. Peppers stuffed with partridge, bull's tail in red wine from La Loma and stewed kid with pine nuts are some of the traditional Andalusian dishes in this area. Cod is a typical dish in Baeza, where it is coated with flour, sautéed with onion and tomato, and served with pine nuts, sweet red pepper and peas. Traditional desserts in Baeza include walnut tarts, "ochíos" (typical buns that are eaten during Easter Week), and preserves.

Podcasts That Got Me Through 2010: #3 The Pod F Tompkast
Warning: These reviews are moderately if not completely profane.
This past year has had it's ups and downs and I have found that there have been many podcasts that I needed to get through a lot of the hard times. These mini reviews (which will be sporadic in coming up because my computer is dead and my internet access is limited) are my way of thanking five that have brought laughter into my life.
So thank you.
#3 Pod F Tompkast:
The Pod F Tompkast came out later in the year, but I found myself drawn to it like a hobo to a five galloon drum of fire. Paul F Tompkins is easily one of my favorite comedians and with his guest spots on Comedy Death Ray and regular appearances on other podcasts I listen to, when he announced that he was starting a podcast… I knew I had to give it a listen.
The best part of the Pod F Tompkast is that it's bringing something often overlooked in the podcast 'verse – a script.
In highschool, my favorite recordings to listen to were those of Firesign Theatre. The plights of Nick Danger, the episodes of "Beat the Reaper"… They were amazing. The idea that someone could make you laugh like a bastard just by tickling your ears was as foreign to me then as it is to the younger generations now. Now, we are bombarded by every sense. If there was smellovision, tasteovision and tactilevision we would be overusing them to the point that we wouldn't leave our homes. But that all requires your complete attention.
Listening to Pod F Tompkast has brought me back to a simpler time that is much more complex than the youtube vloggers of today (has your brain exploded yet?). He tickles your earholes with his delightful tales of the partnership of people such as Ice T, the Cake Boss, and Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber(everytime he says that I laugh so hard I die a little inside). This ten to fifteen minute interlude inspires the imagination and I laugh at the absurdity of it all. The backstory of cake boss's soothsaying powers originated from Paul's visits to Comedy Death Ray Radio, but they have evolved into so much more.
The next segment is a clip from one of his live shows. The first episode included a clip of him reading google transcriptions of his voicemails. I had to listen to it four times because I was laughing so hard.
The final segment is a conversation between himself and Jen Kirkman. They talk about how they met and occasionally Jen will share stories from her life. It is incredibly entertaining. It's almost as if you're sitting in a Starbucks and eavedropping on the FUNNIEST FUCKING CONVERSATION OF YOUR LIFE.
A slight sidenote – Paul F Tompkins has this really great idea that originated out of sarcasm. He had tweeted about being at a specific location and someone had asked him if he would come somewhere else. He told the person requesting it to have 300 people commit to seeing him and he would go out there. Thus the Tompkins 300 came into existence. I recently joined the facebook page for New Haven CT and if you are in the area and love comedy you should join. BUT! Do NOT join if you are not in the area. It doesn't help anyone in the group if you do. We'd like Paul to come to New Haven, but not if there won't be a bunch of people there to appreciate him.

#2 Comedy Death Ray:
Comedy Death Ray is sublime and has made it's move to Earwolf Studios, a budding new podcast hub that will kick SMODcastle in the nuts. Don't get me wrong, I'll listen to the Kevin Smith stuff occasionally, but it's not something I listen to regularly. Comedy Death Ray however is something that I listen to weekly.
Scott Aukerman hosts this weekly radio program with a guest co-host. Through the hour characters take advantage of the Earwolf "open door" policy by coming in and hopping on the radio. From El Chupacabra to Little Gary, you would be amazed at the comedic starpower that hops in. Many comedians come in as characters they have created or overexaggerations of celebrities (such as Paul F Tompkins as Ice T – In one episode he tells someone to eat a bowl of dicks. I don't remember which one, so listen to them all.) Seth Morris as "Bob Ducca" makes me laugh so freaking hard. Especially when he lists all of his ailments. I know that Parallel Parkinson's Disease isn't funny, but… but… it is. Also, I want to lick Nick Kroll. That has everything and nothing to do with Comedy Death Ray, but I just figured I'd make that known to the internets.
Scott also plays games with the guests like "Would You Rather" or "Fortunately/Unfortunately" where the guests imaginations are taken to beyond their limits. There is a request for would you rather scenarios on TWitter and then Scott takes over from there. The guests are welcome to ask questions to help them choose the correct answer. If you are going to go straight to one of those games, might I suggest Episode #63 with Jon Hamm, Rich Sommer, and David Koechner as Jon Hamm mentions Bat for Lashes and I'm completely on board with that.
Comedy Death Ray is also where I found and fell in love with Steel Panther. Steel Panther is a current group of musicians that are bringing back the glam hairband rock. Of course, you should not listen to them if there are children in the room. You should also not listen to them if you are ovulating because you WILL get pregnant.
Subscribing to Comedy Death Ray will be your smartest move for 2011… AND IT'S FREE!!!!!

Mumbai Indians overthrows Kolkata Riders to reach FinalsMay 20, 2017 10:48
This season's play-offs have ended and the two teams remaining in one of the biggest league's in the world, Rising Pune Supergiants will face Mumbai Indians on Sunday at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad.
It is certain that neutral fans did not get much from the play-offs. On other hand fans of the winning team are all happy. But the three of the matches did not stand to the standards of the league.
In the first play-off Rising Pune Supergiants thrashed Mumbai Indians. In the eliminators Sunrisers Hyderabad were unfortunate as the rain halted the match for hours and Kolkata Knight Riders ended winning the match with the Duckworth-Lewis method (DLS). Even the final play-off between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knightriders at Bengaluru was not much exciting, as KKR only managed for a very low score 111/10. The score was disappointing, especially at this point of the match. The team lost all its wickets within 18.5 wickets.
A score of 107 is not much to defend or chase, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma (26 off 24 balls) finally managed to score. He was supported by Krunal Pandya (45* off 30 balls). Their partnership ensured the chase was completed without much fuss on a wet field.
After messing up their first chance to enter the finals with a loss at Wankhede to Pune, MI men got everything right, including the toss, as they chased down the below par total in 14.3 overs.
Although Mumbai had the upper hand for most of the part in the match, they did wobble a little, as they lost 3 wickets at the score of 36 in 6 overs. But once Rohit and Krunal settled down, the march was well out of Kolkata's reach.
It was about 12 nights ago at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, when the crowd witnessed the might of Sunil Narine and Lynn. The 105 off 37 balls was still a fresh memory as the duo came out t bat. But this time KKR did not feast on runs. Instead Mumbai bowlers overwhelmingly outmatched them.
KKR were completely overshadowed by the meticulous Mumbai bowlers, who breezed through the batting line-up.
Jasprit Bumrah kept the batters guessing with his variation of good length balls and peppered it with yorkers and short balls. He even ensured the last over of powerplay was a maiden over with Robin Uthappa's wicket as the incentive.

This kit is designed for the quantitative determination of Human FCGR3A/CD16a (176Phe/F158) and human Fc fragment binding using a homogeneous (no wash) LANCE Ultra TR-FRET binding assay.
Item(s) added to cart.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please enter valid quantity
Please log in to add favorites.
The LANCE® Ultra FCGR3A/CD16a (176Phe/F158) Binding Kit is designed for quantitative determination of Fc-receptor binding using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay.
LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One protein of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second protein is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore [ULight™ dye]. Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.
The Fc-Gamma Receptors (FCGRs) are members of immunoglobulin superfamily and play a critical role in the function of therapeutic antibodies. FCGRs are divided into three classes and FCGR3 (CD16) is expressed as two distinct forms (FCGR3A and FCGR3B) encoded by two different highly homologous genes in a cell type specific manner. FCGR3A is a low/intermediate affinity receptor for polyvalent immune-complexed IgG. It is involved in phagocytosis, secretion of enzymes and inflammatory mediators, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), mast cell degranulation and clearance of immune complexes. In humans, a single nucleotide polymorphism creates two isoforms: high binding (176Val/V158) and low binding (176Phe/F158) forms that, when homozygous, may influence susceptibility to autoimmune diseases or response to therapeutic IgG antibodies. FCGR3A has been considered as an important therapeutic target. This LANCE Ultra assay can be used to determine the binding activity of human IgG Fc fragment to human FCGR3A and also can be used to study how other antibodies bind to FCGR3A by competition assay.

Metal lineup rocks the Rose
Are You...?, Bonestorm, and Municipal Waste
at Tokyo Rose
Friday, January 24
True metal was born in '70s Britain, when Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Co. took the sludge of Black Sabbath and the Stooges and boiled off the blues.
With less groove and more speed, the sound evolved into anxiety-attack tempos, brittle guitar leads, and fantastical imagery. Further explorations over the succeeding years forked the horde; some bands became baroque instrumentalists, like Slayer, while others, such as Megadeth, focused more on explosive gear-shifting rhythms. Currently, the scene continues to thrive in a soup of adjectival specialties– hair, stoner, Scandinavian, black, goth, industrial, doom, thrash, etc...
At Tokyo Rose on Friday, January 24, it appeared as if influences could be twisting back to the taproot of old-school metal. And even though it was hard to surmise if the bands were for kitsch or keeps, the stage presence was a welcome return.
The first group, Richmond's Are You F*cking Serious?, was led by a horn-rimmed singer who belted his vocals into a homemade scythe... er, microphone. Unfortunately, the set was brief (10 minute set?), and the vocalist refused to turn and face the audience. However, it was a nice change to see a girl bassist play with such moxie.
Bonestorm followed for their final show. A lineup of Tokyo Rose all-stars, featuring members from the Elderly and the Hillbilly Werewolf, they're calling it quits after only a handful of dates (vocalist Joel Alford is moving to Chicago). And if their name sounds tongue-in-cheek, it should; remember the video game Bart swipes in "Marge Be Not Proud," Simpsons episode # 3F07? What they delivered Friday night was the best local antidote to snooze since Nerve No Pain. Others agreed; pinky-pointer horns popped from every fist.
Municipal Waste smoked the stage with unrelenting speed, thanks to their new drummer, a 17-year-old with Popeye biceps. Although the rest of the guys don't squeeze spinach cans, they still tore brakeless over breakneck riffs. Since their introductory appearance at the Pudhouse last year, "The Waste" has cultivated a loyal following in the hoods of our state capital... many of whom drove to see the show.
According to their lyrics, they enjoy both wizardry and the consumption of beverages, choice hobbies for any bona fide metalhead.
Let's keep rokken like Dokken.

Whitney Bryen/Longmont Times-Cal
Whitney Bryen/Longmont Times-Cal
The Longmont Community Foundation announced Friday morning that it will be separating from its affiliate, The Denver Foundation, allowing more funding to go to local organizations.
Eric Hozempa, director of the Longmont Community Foundation, said the separation will lower the operating cost of the local foundation and bring administrative responsibilities in-house.
For more info
Visit: http://longmontfoundation.org
A portion of the fees that the Longmont foundation receives from its fund holders goes to The Denver Foundation, Hozempa said. A board analysis of the budget revealed that the Longmont foundation could reduce costs by paying for an administrator instead of paying The Denver Foundation.
"The lower cost will mean that we'll be able to direct more services to granting to nonprofit organizations and accomplish our mission of improving the community," Hozempa said. "It's a new day for the foundation and a good day for the community."
The Denver Foundation is assisting with the move, which is expected to be finalized this summer as the Longmont Community Foundation celebrates its 20th anniversary.
The Longmont foundation also handed out more than $200,000 in grants to local organizations during a Friday breakfast — a $40,000 increase over last year's event.
