4.11 Release of Plasma Workspaces, Applications and Development Platform
The KDE Community is proud to announce the latest major updates to the Plasma Workspaces, Applications and Development Platform delivering new features and fixes while readying the platform for further evolution. The Plasma Workspaces 4.11 will receive long term support as the team focuses on the technical transition to Frameworks 5. This then presents the last combined release of the Workspaces, Applications and Platform under the same version number.
These releases are all translated in 54 languages; we expect more languages to be added in subsequent monthly minor bugfix releases by KDE. The Documentation Team updated 91 application handbooks for this release.
This release is dedicated to the memory of Atul 'toolz' Chitnis, a great Free and Open Source Software champion from India. Atul led the Linux Bangalore and FOSS.IN conferences since 2001 and both were landmark events in the Indian FOSS scene. KDE India was born at the first FOSS.in in December 2005. Many Indian KDE contributors started out at these events. It was only because of Atul's encouragement that the KDE Project Day at FOSS.IN was always a huge success. Atul left us on June 3rd after fighting a battle with cancer. May his soul rest in peace. We are grateful for his contributions to a better world.
Plasma Workspaces 4.11 Continues to Refine User Experience
Gearing up for long term maintenance, Plasma Workspaces delivers further improvements to basic functionality with a smoother taskbar, smarter battery widget and improved sound mixer. The introduction of KScreen brings intelligent multi-monitor handling to the Workspaces, and large scale performance improvements combined with small usability tweaks make for an overall nicer experience. The announcement for Plasma Workspaces has more information..
KDE Applications 4.11 Bring Huge Step Forward in Personal Information Management and Improvements All Over
This release marks massive improvements in the KDE PIM stack, giving much better performance and many new features. Kate improves the productivity of Python and Javascript developers with new plugins, Dolphin became faster and the educational applications bring various new features. The announcement for the KDE Applications 4.11 has more information.
KDE Platform 4.11 Delivers Better Performance
This release of KDE Platform 4.11 continues to focus on stability. Since Platform 4.9 new features are being implemented for our future KDE Frameworks 5.0 release, but for the stable release we managed to squeeze in optimizations for our Nepomuk framework. The Announcement for KDE Platform 4.11 has more information.
Spread the Word
Non-technical contributors are an important part of KDE's success. While mega proprietary software companies have huge advertising budgets for new software releases, KDE depends on people talking with other people. Even for those who are not software developers, there are many ways to support the 4.11 releases. Report bugs. Encourage others to join the KDE Community. Or Join The Game.
Please spread the word on the Social Web. Submit stories to news sites, use channels like delicious, digg, reddit, twitter, identi.ca. Upload screenshots of your new set-up to services like Facebook, Flickr, ipernity and Picasa, and post them to appropriate groups. Create screencasts and upload them to YouTube, Blip.tv, and Vimeo. Please tag posts and uploaded materials with "KDE". This makes them easy to find, and gives the KDE Promo Team a way to analyze coverage for the 4.11 releases.
Follow what is happening on the social web at the KDE live feed, buzz.kde.org. This site aggregates real-time activity from identi.ca, twitter, youtube, flickr, picasaweb, blogs and other social networking sites.

Just a thought, but the very link heavy comment looks super spammy. I definitely suggest formatting it a bit more to make it not look like it quite so much in the future.

Always great news, but what about color and phones?
I haven't seen anything that mentions color management nor MTP. Does that mean that KDE isn't still ready for professional design and photo/video editing tasks?
Thanks for your work and time.

Color Management
Until Qt supports color management natively then it will always be up to the apps to implement it. Sadly I'm not aware of any plans for CM in Qt 5.2, so it's still a way off. There is experimental work to support Oyranos in KWin but as far as I'm aware that's not ready for prime-time yet. There's also the big issue of Oyranos versus colord to be settled.

MTP works rather nicely; I use it several times a week (well, most weeks anyways) .. however, the MTP kio integration is not part of the SC releases, which is why it is not mentioned here. It is in the "base" modules, but still in playground.
See: https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/kio-mtp
I really don't know why it isn't at least in extragear, as it's rather reliable?

WOW! Dolphin feels really faster!
Dolphin got really faster with this release. Good work! Dolphin is 'nearly perfect' now :)
The only "missing feature" i miss is something like klook (also known as the "spacebar fast preview" feature from Mac OS X Finder). I would find this very usefull even in single-click mode when using the keyboard for navigation within the files. Press space to get a big preview, press it again to go back to navigate with the keyboard. It works this way on the Mac, i dont know if they have even a button for this.
Beside Dolphin i mostly use Konsole and of course KWin. There were fine for me since KDE 3+, but the polish which goes into this apps is just great!
By Emmeran Seehuber at Wed, 2013/08/14 - 11:10pm
Re: WOW! Dolphin feels really faster!
The feature you're referring to in OS X is called "Quickview". Having that would IMO, be a good add.... sounds like something that should be posted to Bugzilla as a feature request :)

substantial Kopete progress
Pali Rohár provided information about Kopete in the run-up to this announcement. In the rush to create the announcement and have it coincide with the actual releases, the Promo team overlooked this emailed information. We apologize.
Clearly Kopete is seeing a lot of development activity.
Thank you Pali for providing the following information:

kwin & tearing
very pleased to see that the tearing problem with my nvidia gtx670 seems to be gone with this release...hovewer not completely
every time i reboot the tearing is back and i have to open system settings > desktop effects > advanced and set the compositing type to opengl 2.0 > apply> back to opengl 3.1> apply to make the tearing go away, its like the settings dont stick after rebooting...
any idea what i can do ?
also the keyboard shortcut i use to start the screensaver doesent work anymore. the command that used to work was ' qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver SetActive true'

Re: kwin & tearing

Prolems after upgrade from KUbuntu Backport PPA
Hi, there. I'm using KDE for over a year now and am very satisfied with it. Excellent job.
I even added KUbuntu-ppa Backport to have latest updates of KDE because KUbuntu official PPA is slow with that.
Yesterday, Moun software updater announced 4.11 upgrade availabillity which was allowed and went through without a single error (57MB of files was downloaded and installed). After upgrade was finished and computer restarted after login screen I was left with black blank screen instead of plasma desktop ?!
After manual installation (tty1) of plasma desktop (sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop) everything was back to normal again.
That is, except the KRDC which was now missing the xfreerdp v. 1.0.2 library (PPA contains only 1.0.1 versions). Since 1.0.2 has some bugs that prevents me from using it, the only solution was to "downgrade and lock" the KRDC to previous version.
I also noticed that suspend/hibernate is fixed now so I had to remove my manual sleep.d script that currupted the new procedure.
Everything is excellent now. The desktop looks great, feels faster and works stable. Congratulations !
By Milan Oparnica at Thu, 2013/08/15 - 8:09pm
Terrific release!
Dunno what you guys did, it worked!
Average memory usage (Kontact with most of the modules actually loaded, Kdevelop + kdev-python, Lots of Konsole and Firefox tabs) on my 2009 4GB RAM laptop running Kubuntu 13.04 64bit with the proprietary nvidia driver is down to 2.2GB from 3.2GB.
Especially liked that the File Indexing runs in a "slow" mode for real now, and that Akonadi automatically downloaded any messages it hadn't before for indexing.
Best of all of course is that after so many years of cursing at X, screen tearing is finally gone in all cases while compositing!

Graduating with a 3.968 grade point average, Fisher, an Iraq War veteran with a Purple Heart, did not excel academically in high school. In fact, his average was in the high seventies.
"I had to go to summer school once in middle school and once in high school, both for math," he said. "I just wasn't applying myself."
Fisher, who grew up in Colonie, a suburb of Albany, and now resides in Astoria, is the youngest of five children and the only one to join the military.
"I saw my parents spending their money to send my brothers and sisters to college, and I wanted to do it differently," he said.
Knowing he didn't want to go straight to college, he chose to enlist in the Navy in April of his senior year of high school.
Once Fisher was activated, he was assigned to the Seabees as a carpenter with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133. He was deployed to Iraq in 2005 and had been in the country only four months before he was wounded by a mortar shell explosion on February 20, 2006.
"The hardest thing about being hurt was the phone call home to tell my parents," he said. His father had served in the Army and supported his son's decision to join the military. His mother, on the other hand, was hesitant.
At the age of 19, he was awarded the Purple Heart. And Fisher, now 25 and in the Naval Reserves, is planning on becoming a teacher. Currently he is also a student teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School.
He started at the lowest rank in the military and worked his way up to first-class petty officer. "Before I knew it, I was a mentor to other sailors," he said. "I came to see that no matter what your field is, there will always be someone to learn from and someone to teach."
He is now graduating with a BS degree in technology teacher education.
"I think becoming a teacher was always in the back of my mind," he said. "When I applied to CUNY, I applied to Queens College for social studies education because I love history, and City Tech for technology education. The deciding factor was that I heard back from City Tech first."

The "classical Beurling density" of a subset of the natural numbers is $d(A)=lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{|A\cap[1,n]|}{n}$, when it exists. It defines a finitely additive probability measure on the natural numbers which is invariant with respect to the sum. Here is my question: does there exist a "nice formula" to describe a finitely additive probability measure on $\mathbb N$ which is invariant with respect to the multiplication?
A couple of remarks: I don't know if it is trivial that such a measure exists, but anyway it follows from the application of a general result of Vern Paulsen (on arxiv "Syndetic sets and amenability"). Another problem would be that of finding the measure of particular sets. What about the measure of {$1!,2!,3!,4!...$}? Sets with measure differente from 0 and 1? For example the set of numbers whose first digit through 4 to 9 seems to have measure $=\log_{10}4$... any other?
Thanks in advance, Valerio

A quick thank you to the prep community
Editor's Note: Jon Yunt, who has covered prep sports for The Denver Post for over two decades, sends his thanks to the Colorado prep community.
I started at The Denver Post 20-plus years ago taking phone calls and typing in box scores on Fridays and Saturdays, coming in with my dad just to make a few extra bucks.
I never thought it would turn into my passion.
People would always tell me, "That's got to be the coolest job ever." I would always tell them, "I love what I do."
I got to travel to every corner of the state, from Steamboat Springs to Holly and from Sterling to Gypsum, writing about kids and coaches who made their schools and their communities proud.
I'll remember things such as Sangre de Cristo winning a 2A boys basketball title with not a player over 6-foot tall or watching my alma mater (Douglas County) win a state football championship at Mile High Stadium and sitting on the field with the team as the fireworks went off overhead. That will forever be etched into my memory.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivers a speech to magistrates and policemen who took part in the investigations in the shooting of seven persons and the siege of the gunman Mohamed Merah in Toulouse, at the Elysee palace in Paris, Tuesday, March, 27, 2012. Al-Jazeera has received video footage that appears to show the deadly attacks on soldiers and a Jewish school in southwestern France, including the cries of the victims and the voice of the perpetrator. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said it should not be broadcast.(AP Photo/Kenzo Tribouillard, Pool)
PARIS (AP) — A video apparently showing a Muslim gunman's attacks on soldiers and a Jewish school was sent to the Al-Jazeera news network — but not by him, French police said Tuesday, raising the specter of a possible accomplice.
Al-Jazeera on Tuesday decided not to air a video that seems to have been filmed from the killer's point of view and includes the cries of his victims. The decision came after President Nicolas Sarkozy asked the network not to broadcast it.
While French politicians describe gunman Mohamed Merah as a "lone wolf" terrorist, his brother is behind bars on suspicion of helping in the attacks and police are continuing to look for potential accomplices.
A French official close to the investigation said the video was not sent by Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman who was killed in a shootout Thursday after a 32-hour standoff with police at his apartment building in Toulouse.
Another official said the envelope sent to Al-Jazeera contained a Wednesday postmark from a large postal processing center for the area around Toulouse, meaning it was unclear exactly where it was mailed from. He could not say anything about who may have sent the video.
The first official said a technical analysis had concluded that it was not sent by Merah but did not indicate whether that analysis included fingerprints, DNA, surveillance or other data.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Merah was in his apartment, surrounded by police, from well before dawn Wednesday until he was killed Thursday morning. Police did not elaborate on why they think he did not put the package into the mail before then.
Prosecutors have said that Merah filmed all of his attacks, which began March 11 with the murder of a French soldier. Before the spree ended, two more soldiers and three Jewish children and a rabbi were killed, while another student and another paratrooper were wounded.
Police said Merah claimed the attacks and had told them he had links to al-Qaida, traveled to Afghanistan and received weapons training in the militant-riddled Pakistani tribal region of Waziristan.
French intelligence officials say they have found no sign of a link between Merah and al-Qaida or other international terrorist networks. Still, investigators say they are open to the possibility of accomplices.
Preliminary charges for complicity in murder and terrorism have been filed against Merah's older brother, Abdelkader, though no evidence has emerged that he took part directly in the shooting.
It was not clear if Abdelkader could have sent the video. Police say they first detained him as they carried out Wednesday's early morning raid.
"What we know is that it (the video) was reassembled. Things were added in. We don't know if the full sequence was in it. But it was not just the video as it was filmed. There was an editing process and additions made," the first official said.
Zied Tarrouche, Al-Jazeera's Paris bureau chief, said the video had clearly been edited, with religious songs and recitations of Quranic verses laid over the footage.
The footage appeared to have been taken from the point of view of the killer, perhaps from a camera hung around his neck, according Tarrouche, who described the video to BFM television station. He said they were a bit shaky but of a high technical quality.
"You can hear gunshots at the moment of the killings. You can hear the voice of this person who has committed these assassinations. You can hear also the cries of the victims, and the voices were distorted," Tarrouche said.
The footage was contained on a USB key sent with a letter to the Paris office of the Qatar-based television company, Tarrouche said. The letter, written in poor French with spelling and grammar errors, claimed the shootings were carried out in the name of al-Qaida. The second official said it was hand written in all capital letters.
The channel said the video was received from an anonymous source on Monday and immediately passed it on to French police.
"In accordance with Al Jazeera's Code of Ethics, given the video does not add any information that is not already in the public domain, its news channels will not be broadcasting any of its contents," the broadcaster said in a statement.
Al-Jazeera said it had received many requests by media to look at the video but it would deny all of them.
That decision came after Sarkozy, other French officials and family members of the victims had asked that it not be broadcast.
Tarrouche said the Paris prosecutor, whose office is leading the investigation, had also called to explain the consequences of disseminating the images. But Tarrouche said the prosecutor said he would not prohibit the channel from "doing its work as journalists."
Al-Jazeera was frequently used early in the Iraq and Afghan wars as a conduit for militants, including Osama bin Laden, to distribute taped statements. As the Iraq war progressed, many of these tapes included gruesome killings and beheadings of Western or foreign hostages, although the station edited out some of the grisliest scenes at the moment of death.
The broadcasts drew outrage, especially from the U.S. government. Over time, most militant groups opted instead for posting such videos on their own websites, where they were not subject to outside editing.
Meanwhile, Merah's father, who was estranged from his son and lives in Algeria, asked why a "strong country" like France killed his son instead of capturing him.
"Why did they kill him? ... They could have used gas, for example to take him like a baby," Mohamed Benalel Merah asked in an interview aired Tuesday by France 24 TV. The father said his son should have been taken alive and judged.
Sarkozy, in the middle of a tough re-election campaign, has announced a raft of new measures aimed at preventing the spread and incubation of radical ideas, including penalizing those who regularly consult websites that promote jihad.
On Tuesday, he said wanted to speed up the process of expelling radicals from France as well as prevent them from ever entering.
"Extremists are playing with our administrative formalities. Our job is to be more efficient," he said. "Preachers who continually target our system can stay where they are. We don't want them on the soil of the French Republic."
Meanwhile, another brother, Abdelghani, told a religious representative that the family wants Mohamed Merah's body to be buried in Algeria.
The funeral home was to make the request Tuesday with the Algerian consulate, and the body would be transferred Thursday if the authorization is granted, Abdallah Zekri, a representative of the Paris Mosque in charge of Toulouse.
Abdelghani Merah initially wanted the body buried in France, but insisted he would not attend any funeral of his younger brother, "who he considers a monster," according to Zekri.
Ultimately the brother gave in to his mother's wishes, Zekri said.

This Article From Issue
September-October 2012
Volume 100, Number 5
Page 355
To the Editors:
Pat Shipman, in her Marginalia "Do the Eyes Have It?" (May–June 2012), hypothesizes that domesticated dogs would have proffered significant advantages in population growth to modern humans competing with Neandertals. I have worked with coastal Australian Aboriginal communities for a number of years and adopted a dog from one of their camps [see photo]. I feel strongly that Shipman's hypothesis will prove to be accurate.
Dingos (Australian wild dogs) are an indispensable part of Aboriginal community life. I have seen camp dogs used in the hunting of monitor lizards and even in rounding up schools of fish in a retreating tide. Perhaps most important, they functioned as a community warning and protection system, specifically around women's camps.
In competition between Neanderthals and modern humans, the defense of women and, by association, small children could have been a game changer. Improved hunting success may have been a factor in modern humans' success, but to my mind, the community-protection services provided by dogs was likely far more valuable.
Shipman's article brings to mind the title anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose used for her book on Yarralin community life: Dingo Makes Us Human. Dogs have certainly made me more human.

To the Editors:
I enjoyed Pat Shipman's May–June Marginalia on the coevolution of humans and dogs. Shipman reviews nicely several of the benefits that have led to selection for that coevolution. I especially like the hypothesis she discusses about the evolution of white sclerae and nonconcealing eyelids in humans for communication with dogs. Dogs also have white sclerae and eyes large enough for their sclerae to show, and my own observations suggest that they use their eyes to communicate with humans as well as with other dogs. Although my dogs often move their heads to direct my attention toward a distant object, they frequently move their eyes only, thereby using their white sclerae to show the direction of gaze.
Given the extensive coevolution between humans and dogs, I am amazed that some people are uncomfortable around dogs. Could avoiding dogs have a selective advantage as well?
Roger A. Powell
Department of Biology
North Carolina State University
Dr. Shipman responds:
Regarding Dr. Powell's question, it seems likely to me that the diversity of human responses to animals (not only dogs) is partly based on learned experience and probably partly genetic. That is, a child who has never been encouraged to observe or interact with an animal probably won't develop much sensitivity to the "language" of that animal. During the process of socialization, children develop a theory of mind-—they learn that other people have feelings and ideas that might be different from theirs, and they learn how to deal with those differences. Such learning can occur with animals as well.
A genetic component likely exists as well. Just as some people are very good at communicating with others and understanding or intuiting their feelings, some are very poor. This ability is a particular challenge for people with autism. Despite that, Temple Grandin, for instance, has autism, is brilliant at understanding animals and is also high-functioning. Whatever genetic basis there might be for understanding animals is likely to involve multiple genes and to require training. Genetic variability could involve some other useful trait that research hasn't uncovered yet, or it could result from simple variability.

Who would have thought that Michael Jackson's sudden death would have been the catalyst for me to finally broach the subject of social media and the wine world?
I've been brought into the social media conversation by two incidents: a posting on a Web site for writers on which I am a member (link below), and a posting by my compatriot in philosophical thought, Arthur, of wine sooth (link below).
As I commented on Arthur's blog, as a salesman I learned that the weakest argument to sell a product is to knock the competition, so my intent is not to knock so-called social media or so-called mainstream media; I merely want to make a few points.
I refer to each type of media as 'so-called' because I'm not sure what either moniker really means.
On the writer's forum, someone posted with glee how Twitter became the first media outlet to flutter around the report on Michael Jackson's death, and how seemingly important that makes social media. Another poster reminded people that the original 'tweet' probably was written after its writer learned of the death through the mainstream media. Still another pointed out that Twitter was the source of other flutterings concerning the deaths of Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum, neither of whom had in fact died.
Arthur's blog entry took a swipe at the mainstream media but from a different perspective. He wondered if CNN knew sooner than it let on about Jackson's death, preferring instead to keep up the tension with stories about a coma so that the mainstream media could hold the attention of viewers. He ended his blog entry with a reference to something if not nefarious at least stinky.
What exactly is what we call social media, and does it have its own stink?
When a company wants to practice with an idea or get feedback on a product it may hire a PR firm to organize a focus group. The focus group is made up of sample consumers or potential consumers of the idea or product, and they are often paid a small fee for participating.
The group gets together for a face-to-face with either the PR firm reps or the product company reps, or both, who put forth a series of situations and questions and get feedback from the participants.
A focus group is like a survey but in the flesh rather than on paper. The key is that those involved know that they are engaged in a focus group and that they may be helping the company with its image, message, product direction, whatever.
Social media is often used commercially to create a focus group. In itself, that isn't a problem. But it is a problem with me if the social networking people aren't aware that they are being used as an unpaid focus group for commercial purposes. I fear that more of this activity may be going on under the guise of social media than meets the screen.
As a wine writer, not a week goes by these days when I either haven't been directed to read at least one article about the benefit to wineries inherent in the social media revolution or received a few press releases or solicitations from social media consultants selling their wine consumer tracking capabilities online. If I were a cynic, I might be suspicious concerning who starts a social networking conversation about particular wines, and that would make me equally circumspect on a social network site.
Is this where the new information age is taking us?
When television came on the scene some sixty years ago vaudevillians like Milton Berle shared space with newspeople like Edward R. Murrow. Berle's intent was always to entertain through non-intellectual comedy; Murrow's was to inform through intelligent investigation. In the latter's case, he believed that television represented the future information age (sound familiar?).
Today, it's hard to see how Murrow's vision holds up, but not so hard to see Berle's. In fact, myriad television channels do justice to Berle's non-intellectualism and, aside from a few history-lite channels, information is mainly passed along as snark on late night television. So much for the promise of television and the first information age!
I am afraid that social networking may be just another huckster's phrase for commercializing our every thought. I'm afraid that, while there may be real benefits lurking inside my computer, they will be dwarfed by the commercial opportunities that lurk in cyber space—do we still use that phrase?
Like everything else in life, from waking in the morning, to crossing the street, to selecting a wine based on someone else's rating, there's always pluses and minuses connected to the activity.
The pluses of social media are evident: quick turn around time for gathering information, bringing the world closer, ease of access to potential customers, and more. It's also a step up from the single-issue forum wine sites that instead of social networking often seem like sociopath networking.
The minuses of social media may not be so evident.
Mainly, I want to know for what purpose I am asked to socialize, and I also want to find out who is behind the curtain. The biggest minus I can imagine is that instead of merely social networking, those of us who engage in social media may be actively but unknowingly helping to develop a commercial form of computer-generated social engineering.
My feeling about the matter can change, but for that to happen social media will have to prove itself to be something much more than a commercial tool. The word 'friend' has a much more powerful meaning to me than merely someone with whom to network. Besides, even the seeming non-commercial social networking sites may be used by commercial interests to gather information.

"That may have had an impact on me going to Europe (in 1994) and moving on, " he said. "All of a sudden the NBA didn't seem maybe as important as it was when I was striving to get there."
I must admit: I don't remember Lichti playing for the Celtics back in that 1994 campaign, even though I did get to see a good bunch of their games on WSBK (I was too obsessed with hoping Jimmy Oliver would pan out). I remember him being drafted out of Stanford and playing for the Nuggets. I remember his Star Pic card that I had. Thankfully I can't be too hard on myself since he only played 4 games for Boston during that dreadful 1994 season. [Tangent time: Even though that team finished with a better record than the 1997 and 2007 teams, I still feel they were the worst Celtic team I saw. They had an elderly Robert Parish and a surprising Dino Radja. The 1997 team had rookie Antoine who would have a better NBA career than Dino. And the 2007 bunch had Pierce and a lot of promising youngsters. That 94 team was all NBA has-beens. I think they'd lose a 7 game series to the other teams based on how they played.]
That ended the NBA career of Lichti though he'd go over to Australia to play with Andrew Vlahov a teammate of his at Stamford who convinced him to play for the Perth Wildcats.
I feel this article accurately (even if depressingly) sums up Lichti's NBA career.
Today, Todd lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife Sue (who designs clothes) and has developed an Australian accent. Don't believe me? Watch him here speak about his son Bronx (fast forward to 2:30):

Mach 1 vs Cobra: Battle of Baddest Mustangs
The Similarities End With the Four-Valve 4.6
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
Model year 2003 will no doubt go down in Mustang lore as one of the best years ever for Mustang performance. Not since the '68-'71 era of Cobra Jets and Bosses have we seen such a powerful arsenal of machinery, a lineup that also includes the base GT with its 260hp SOHC 4.6 and, arguably, even the base V-6 model with its 190 hp--almost as much as the first 5.0 High Outputs in the early-'80s.
While the GT Mustang certainly commands respect in performance circles, the crown jewels of 2003 are the Cobra from SVT and the special-edition Mach 1 from Team Mustang. Both cars feature the four-valve 4.6 DOHC engine under the hood, but that's where the similarities end. The Cobra, with its independent rear suspension and supercharged 390 hp, is a refined touring vehicle, while the Mach 1 comes across as a back-street brawler, its Shaker scoop and throatier exhaust just screaming for red-light challenges.
Recently, we had the chance to spend a couple weeks, back to back, in both a Mach 1 and a Cobra. The difference in personalities between the two cars--both Mustangs, both with DOHC 4.6 power--amazed us.
Rockin' Mach
With its name, hoodscoop, and other vintage characteristics taken from its '60s namesake, the '03 Mach 1 arrived at our offices first, which probably wasn't fair to the Cobra. We instantly fell in love with the Mach 1's aggressive exhaust note, buttery-smooth shifter, and high-winding engine. In fact, the car felt, sounded, and performed more like a '69-'70 Boss 302 than a big-block '69-'70 Mach 1. With the Shaker scoop in full view from the driver's seat, the only thing the car needed was a Hurst T-handle shifter to finish off the effect.
For a car built for straight-line performance, the Mach 1 felt surprisingly nimble and light on its feet. The vintage-style bucket seats offered plenty of comfort and support, although the seatbelt came directly in contact with the keypad on our belt-mounted cell phone, causing a couple of errant phone calls to friends, who, upon answering, heard nothing more than the Mach 460 stereo and Mach 1 exhaust tone.
Some people assume that the Mach 1's four-valve engine is identical to the DOHC 4.6 used in the '01 Cobra. True and false. Basically, it's the same engine, except for the Mach 1, Team Mustang enhanced the performance with high-flow four-valve heads, higher compression, new cams (from the 5.4 Navigator, reportedly with the same lift as the '01 Cobra cams but with different overlap and duration), revised calibrations, and improved exhaust manifolds that are also port-matched to the heads. The result is, well, actually less advertised horsepower than the '01 Cobra--305 to 320--something that may be attributed to the Cobra's marketing status as the top-of-the-line performance Mustang.
On the street, the Mach 1 feels strong, especially at high rpm where the four-valve heads can strut their stuff. At around 3,000 rpm under full throttle, you can feel a surge in power, almost like the secondaries opening on an old Holley four-barrel carburetor. For those of us who grew up with musclecars, the Mach 1 under acceleration has a familiar feel.
We did have a chance to test our five-speed Mach 1 press vehicle on the dragstrip, making a pair of back-to-back passes during a Bradenton (Florida) Motorsports Park test and tune day. Forgetting to turn off the traction control on the first run resulted in a time-killing bog when the rear tires spun on the first-to-second shift, although we were impressed the car still managed a 13.81 at 102.40. With the traction control off on the next pass, the Mach 1 responded with a 13.54 at 103.14. We've heard about other Mach 1s dipping into the 13.20s with more experienced drivers.
Food for thought: The best quarter-mile time we could find for a box-stock '69 Cobra Jet Mach 1 was a 13.69 at 103.4 in the January '69 Popular Hot Rodding.
Cobra Refinement
When jumping out of the Mach 1 and straight into the '03 SVT Cobra, two things were immediately apparent. The supercharger makes a big difference, especially at low speeds, and the Cobra feels heavy in comparison to the Mach 1. If the Mach 1 is a street brawler, the Cobra is a well-heeled Mafia hit-man--dapper but dangerous.
We can't say enough about the Cobra's supercharged power. Just ease into the throttle, and the Cobra surges forward in a luscious rush of torque. Need to pass a slow moving tractor-trailer? Don't even worry about downshifting. Heck, you'll only need part throttle. At full throttle, the sensation and sound of shifting through the six gears can be compared to an Indy car; the shifts come fast and furious, while the Eaton supercharger emits a mechanical whine that mixes with the toned-down exhaust.
More food for thought: Rated at 390 hp and 390 ft-lb of torque, the '03 Cobra is the most powerful Mustang ever offered to the public. Unfortunately, our limited time with the Cobra did not coincide with a dragstrip date, so we were unable to obtain quarter-mile times. However, our sister magazine, 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords, ran a string of low 13-second e.t.'s, including a 13.04, with a stock '03 Cobra.
It's also the most refined Mustang ever offered. Settling into the gorgeous leather with suede seats, you are surrounded by unpretentious refinement. Unlike the Mach 1, with its loud colors, Shaker hoodscoop, and side stripes, the Cobra comes in mainly subdued hues (Torch Red and Zinc Yellow being the exceptions) and features subtle hood vents (functional, by the way, for releasing underhood heat) and non-obtrusive identification, like the snake emblems on the fenders and the embossed "Cobra" on the rear bumper cover. Some Cobra owners have complained that the car is too introverted. We suppose if you spend $35,000 or so for the top-dog Mustang, you want people to notice.
In addition to the supercharged engine, the Cobra's two other stand-out features are the independent rear suspension and the six-speed T56 manual transmission. While the IRS keeps the Cobra planted in turns, it also provides a tremendous improvement in the ride quality. With each rear wheel working independently, unlike the live rear axle on all other Mustangs, including the Mach 1, the Cobra glides over rough roads, pot holes, and bumps.
The six-speed is a nice addition to a luxury touring Mustang like the Cobra. However, we were disappointed by the notchy feel in the shifter, something that other reviewers have pointed out as well.
Year of Performance
With both the Mach 1 and the supercharged Cobra in the lineup, 2003 will go down as one of the Mustang's best years ever for performance. Granted, the '68-'71 era had a wider array of performance engines and options, but today's hot Mustangs are arguably faster and quicker. Plus, they are available with amenities like air conditioning, powerful sound systems, and convenience items like power windows and cruise control.
So which is best? Mach 1 or Cobra? That may depend upon your personality.

This new league is based on the Redszone Dynasty League, which you may have seen here in the Fantasy Island forum. That league has been a great success, so much so that all 12 owners have returned to play again this year. How often does that happen in fantasy sports?
We received several requests to join the league should any spots open up, but we did not have any openings arise in the existing league. Due to the strong interest we have decided to create a second league using the same format.
12 new owners have accepted the challenge to play with and against their Redszone friends in an active, competitive league over a period of years. All twelve owners are known to be skilled and savvy practitioners of rotisserie baseball so this will be an exciting test of their mettle.
Here is a list of the warring parties:
1. IowaRed
2. reds1869
3. Atomic Dumpling
4. thatcool_guy22
5. Joseph
6. Brutus the Pimp
7. HayPay
8. Tornon
9. Bumstead
10. Vada Pinson Fan
11. HumnHilghtFreel
12. Captain Hook
All owners must use their Redszone username as their team name. No hiding behind anonymous team names here! This makes the game more personal and familiar and encourages people to become more involved and stay that way. Otherwise it is just another anonymous Internet league.
We request a commitment from each owner to pay attention all season long and to play in future years also.
The League of Reds Nation is a dynasty keeper league, which means it will go on for years and all players will be kept from one year to the next. So the idea is to draft a nice blend of current stars and some young prospects that will mature into future stars.
Thanks to each of the team owners for playing. I am excited to start a new season of fantasy baseball. Let's make this a fun, friendly, active and competitive league!

The Northern Illinois University Department of Communication will sponsor this year's Reality Bytes Independent Student Film Festival this week. The festival is free and open to the public; anyone with an interest in film is invited. The festival is in its 10th year.
"The quality and breadth of subject matter this year is a huge step forward for Reality Bytes," T.J. Hicks, graduate student and assistant director of the festival, said in a news release.
"By employing a new online submission system and aggressively marketing the festival to colleges and universities all over the world, we have seen a huge increase in film submissions," Hicks said. "The quality of this year's films is far and away the best we have ever screened."
The film festival, which was originally started by Media Studies professor Laura Vazquez to give NIU students the ability to competitively screen their work, this year received more than 40 entries from all over the U.S. and as far away as the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand.
ĀFourteen short student films have been chosen for screening at this year's festival. A mix of both documentary and fiction films will be shown, all with running times of 30 minutes or less. The films chosen for screening range from comedy and drama to experimental pieces. Student film screenings will take place in the Jack Arends Auditorium, which isĀRoom 100 ofĀthe Visual Arts Building.
Parking permits are not required after 7 p.m. in the several large parking lots near the Visual Arts Building, located just north of the campus lagoon.
At 7 p.m. Thursday,Ā also in the same location,Āthe festival welcomes special guest Justine Nagan, executive director of Chicago's Kartemquin Films, who will screen her new documentary, "Typeface."
Nagan directed and served as a producer on the film, which chronicles a rural Midwestern museum and print shop in Two Rivers, Wis., where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.
According to Kartemquin, the documentary brings "a fascinating junction of historical and contemporary, as well as rural and urban America together for enjoyment and contemplation. The film will be of interest to art and graphic-design enthusiasts, to teachers as an educational resource, and to anyone looking for a film about perseverance and preservation in the heart of America."
The screening will be followed by festival awards.

Ever popular as unique items of Southwest decor, the Native American dream catcher imparts meaning as well as beauty to your home. Popular Native American legend says Dream catchers, woven webs of sinew and feathers, snare nightmares to dissolve them in the rays of the morning sun, while letting the good dreams through. In this part of the country the dreamcatcher is a staple in all Southwest decor! Dream catchers are woven of sinew like a spider web within a hoop. They are decorated with bead and feather accents and come in a variety of colours. Considered a symbol of good luck as well as a guard against bad dreams, the Native American hand crafted dreamcatcher is found in the Southwest decorating nearly every rearview mirror and bedroom! The Native American mandella is an American Indian art form inspired by the Plains Indian shield. The shield was more to the Native American Indian than just a defensive weapon. Shields were made with ceremonial care and imparted with powerful spiritual personal and tribal protections obtained from dreams and visions. Ceremonial shields were also made, not to be used in physical warfare but for protection on the spiritual plane. The decorative mandellas of today are certainly an expression of the Southwestern arts. These Native American Indian hand crafted mandellas are lovely, colourful, and dramatic, utilizing fur, wool, beads, and feathers to create a unique and beautiful item of Southwestern decor.

UH announces recipients of the 2007 Hung Wo and Elizabeth Lau Ching Foundation AwardUniversity of Hawaiʻi
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi has announced the recipients of the 2007 Hung Wo and Elizabeth Lau Ching Foundation Award for Faculty Service to the Community. The award recognizes significant contributions that strengthen ties between the university and the community. Established in 1997, it is presented annually to two faculty members (one female and one male) from Mānoa and two from other UH campuses. This year, two male recipients share the award from the Mānoa campus.
Linda Cox, community economic development specialist in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management at UH Mānoa, is recognized for applying her expertise in community economic development to a number of issues. Cox's long record of community service during her tenure at UH includes assisting the community of Waianae in finding economic opportunities for residents, and assisting the Hawaiʻi Ecotourism Association in their efforts to further their mission with their limited resources.
Co-recipients and associate professors Carl Bonham and Byron Gangnes of the Department of Economics at UH Mānoa are credited with assisting in the establishment of the UH Economic Research Organization (UHERO) in 1997. UHERO is a widely recognized and respected economic research organization in the local community and outside of Hawaiʻi that provides a forum for interactions between key experts and interested citizens on matters related to the economic performance of Hawaiʻi and the Asia Pacific region. UHERO provides critical proprietary and non-proprietary economic forecasts and research to private and public clients. Most recently, Bonham and Gangnes provided an update of the 2000 UH economic impact study to bolster UH's centennial fund raising campaign. Their forecasts have become a standard feature at the annual meeting of the Hawaiʻi Economic Association. In addition, they are regularly asked to testify before legislative committees on economic prospects for Hawaiʻi.
Donnalyn Kalei, instructor/coordinator of the Administration of Justice Program at Hawaiʻi Community College, is honored for using her talents to enrich the community on the Big Island. Kalei devoted three uncompensated years planning the curriculum and development of the Substance Abuse Counseling Program, which is expected to be the first AS degree in Substance Abuse Counseling in the UH system, pending Board of Regents approval. As a grant writer, she received funding for $796,000 to build the Youth Business Center in Keaʻau, Hawaiʻi. Kalei continues to collaborate with various community organizations and projects that promote the prevention of substance abuse and the fostering of economic stimulation.
Roy Kamida, professor of accounting at Leeward Community College, is honored for his dedication and professionalism to his position. Kamida, who has assisted with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at the campus for the past 15 years and served as its coordinator for the last three years, trained and certified numerous volunteers so they can help prepare basic tax returns, free of charge, for community members who are unable to do their own returns or afford to pay for the service. He is also a hard working teacher who is an advocate for students. Kamida was recently awarded the 2007 Outstanding Post-Secondary Education Award at the Western Business and Information Technology Conference.
The recipients will be recognized for their contributions to the university along with other UH award recipients at a system-wide ceremony in September.

The Enterprise Server enforces its authentication and authorization policies upon the following entities:
Users: An individual identity defined in the Enterprise Server. In general, a user is a person, a software component such as an enterprise bean, or even a service. A user who has been authenticated is sometimes called a principal. Users are sometimes referred to as subjects.
Groups: A set of users defined in the Enterprise Server, classified by common traits.
Roles: A named authorization level defined by an application. A role can be compared to a key that opens a lock. Many people might have a copy of the key. The lock doesn't care who seeks access, only that the right key is used.
Realms: A repository containing user and group information and their associated security credentials. A realm is also called a security policy domain.
Users and groups are designated for the entire Enterprise Server, whereas each application defines its own roles. When the application is being packaged and deployed, the application specifies mappings between users/groups and roles, as illustrated in the following figure.
A user is an individual (or application program) identity that has been defined in the Enterprise Server. A user can be associated with a group. The Enterprise Server authentication service can govern users in multiple realms.
A Java EE group (or simply group) is a category of users classified by common traits, such as job title or customer profile. For example, users of an e-commerce application might belong to the customer group, but the big spenders would belong to the preferred group. Categorizing users into groups makes it easier to control the access of large numbers of users.
A role defines which applications and what parts of each application users can access and what they can do. In other words, roles determine users' authorization levels.
For example, in a personnel application all employees might have access to phone numbers and email addresses, but only managers would have access to salary information. The application might define at least two roles: employee and manager; only users in the manager role are allowed to view salary information.
A role is different from a user group in that a role defines a function in an application, while a group is a set of users who are related in some way. For example, in the personnel application there might be groups such as full-time, part-time, and on-leave, but users in all these groups would still be in the employee role.
Roles are defined in application deployment descriptors. In contrast, groups are defined for an entire server and realm. The application developer or deployer maps roles to one or more groups for each application in its deployment descriptor.
A realm, also called a security policy domain or security domain, is a scope over which the server defines and enforces a common security policy. In practical terms, a realm is a repository where the server stores user and group information.
The Enterprise Server comes preconfigured with three realms: file (the initial default realm), certificate, and admin-realm. It is possible to also set up ldap, JDBC, solaris, or custom realms. Applications can specify the realm to use in their deployment descriptor. If they do not specify a realm, the Enterprise Server uses its default realm.
In the file realm, the server stores user credentials locally in a file named keyfile. You can use the Admin Console to manage users in the file realm.
In the certificate realm, the server stores user credentials in a certificate database. When using the certificate realm, the server uses certificates with the HTTPS protocol to authenticate Web clients. For more information about certificates, see Introduction to Certificates and SSL.
The admin-realm is also a FileRealm and stores administrator user credentials locally in a file named admin-keyfile. Use the Admin Console to manage users in this realm in the same way you manage users in the file realm.
In the ldap realm the server gets user credentials from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server such as the Directory Server. LDAP is a protocol for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files and devices in a network, whether on the public Internet or on a corporate intranet. Consult your LDAP server documentation for information on managing users and groups in the ldap realm.
In the JDBC realm, the server gets user credentials from a database. The Enterprise Server uses the database information and the enabled JDBC realm option in the configuration file. For digest authentication, a JDBC realm should be created with jdbcDigestRealm as the JAAS context.
In the solaris realm the server gets user credentials from the Solaris operating system. This realm is supported on the Solaris 9 OS and later. Consult your Solaris documentation for information on managing users and groups in the solaris realm.
A custom realm is any other repository of user credentials, such as a relational database or third-party component. For more information, see the Admin Console online help.
The Enterprise Server enables you to specify a user's credentials in the JDBC realm instead of in the connection pool. Using the JDBC realm instead of the connection pool prevents other applications from browsing the database tables for the user's credentials. A user's credentials are the user's name and password.
By default, storage of passwords as clear text is not supported in the JDBC realm. Under normal circumstances, passwords should not be stored as clear text.
Create the database tables in which to store the users' credentials for the realm.
How to create the database tables depends on the database that you are using.
Add the users' credentials to the database tables that you created in Step 1.
How to add users' credentials to the database tables depends on the database that you are using.
Create a JDBC realm.
Use the Admin Console GUI for this purpose. For instructions for creating a JDBC realm, see the online help for the Admin Console GUI.
Specify the realm that you created in Step 3 as the realm for the application.
To specify the realm, modify the appropriate deployment descriptor for your application:
For an enterprise application in an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file, modify the sun-application.xml file.
For a web application in a Web Application Archive (WAR) file, modify the web.xml file.
For an enterprise bean in an EJB JAR file, modify the sun-ejb-jar.xml file.
For more information about how to specify a realm, see How to Set a Realm for an Application or Module in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 Developer's Guide.
Assign a security role to users in the realm.
To assign a security role to a user, add a security-role-mapping element to the deployment descriptor that you modified in Step 4.
The following example shows a security-role-mapping element that assigns the security role Employee to user Calvin.
<security-role-mapping> <role-name>Employee</role-name> <principal-name>Calvin</principal-name> </security-role-mapping>

A U.S. flag hangs over stockings left as a memorial for victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, along a fence surrounding the Sandy Hook Cemetery in Newtown, Conn., on Thursday.
A $100 million legal claim filed against the state of Connecticut in the wake of the deadly Newtown elementary school shooting has been withdrawn for now, local media reported Tuesday.
New Haven, Connecticut-based attorney Irving Pinsky said he dropped the claim because he was evaluating new evidence, according to a report on CTPost.com.
Pinsky said he did not rule out further legal action, the report said. He did not respond immediately to Reuters requests to comment on the report.
The attorney filed the claim last week on behalf of an unidentified 6-year-old survivor of the Newtown shooting at a primary school that left 20 children and six adults dead on Dec. 14.
The survivor, referred to as Jill Doe, "has sustained emotional and psychological trauma and injury, the nature and extent of which are yet to be determined," the claim said.
State Attorney General George Jepsen on Monday called the claim misguided and said a public policy response by the U.S. Congress and the Connecticut state legislature would be more appropriate than legal action, according to a spokeswoman.
"Our hearts go out to this family, and to all the children and families affected by the Newtown shootings," Jepsen said in a statement. "They deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination of the causes of this tragedy and of the appropriate public policy responses."
By law, any claim against the state must be approved by the state claims commissioner before it can move forward. The state attorney general serves as the state's defense attorney.
"The Office of the Claims Commissioner is not the appropriate venue for that important and complex discussion," Jepsen said in his statement.
"Although the investigation is still under way, we are aware of no facts or legal theory under which the state of Connecticut should be liable for causing the harms inflicted at Sandy Hook Elementary School," he said.
According to the claim, the unidentified child heard "cursing, screaming, and shooting" over the school intercom when the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Pinsky's claim said the state Board of Education, Department of Education and education commissioner failed to take appropriate steps to protect children from "foreseeable harm" and had failed to provide a "safe school setting."
Pinsky said last week that he was approached by the child's parents within a week of the shooting.
Lanza shot and killed his mother and killed himself as well, police said. The violence has prompted extensive debate about school security, gun control and the suggestion by the National Rifle Association that schools be patrolled by armed guards.
Lanza's father, Peter, claimed his son's remains on Thursday, and private arrangements were held over the weekend at an undisclosed location, a spokesman for Peter Lanza said.

As you may or may not have noticed, the Stew took a little hiatus while yours truly spent the month of February in Sochi for the XXII Olympic Winter Games. Now that I'm back from the Black Sea coast (and home on the East Coast), it's time to answer some of your Twitter questions. Here we go:
@BrownBurr: bledsoe is about to return. How much would you give up for him? Top 50? Also time to sell high on dragic? Thanks!
I can see Eric Bledsoe pushing for top-50 numbers, but I'll definitely take the under on his pre-injury stats (18.0 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 5.8 apg, 1.5 spg, 1.2 3s). My reasoning there: A) He hasn't played in over two months and is slated to come off the bench at first, and B) He has to fit into an equation that currently includes a scalding hot Gerald Green (23.3 ppg in his last 12 games; 30.3 ppg in his last three). Again, I still think Bledsoe will be good, but I'd peg his post-injury stats closer to the 15 ppg range than the 18 he was at before. (Obviously there's no science at all behind that estimate, just my best guess.)
As for Goran Dragic, he has sustained a downright beastly level of play with Bledsoe out (22.3 ppg, 6.5 apg, 1.3 spg and 2.0 3s in 30 games), but I actually wouldn't downgrade him all that much with Bledsoe coming back. In his last 15 games before Bledsoe's knee injury, Dragic posted 19.2 ppg, 5.1 apg, 1.7 spg and 1.2 3s playing alongside Bledsoe. That doesn't quite match the production sans Bledsoe, but it's close enough to make concern unnecessary.
Editor's Note: Rotoworld's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $100,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Friday night's games. It's $25 to join and first prize is $15,000. Starts at 7pm ET on Friday. Here's the FanDuel link.

Follow me on Twitter: @MattStroup
@Whynatte1: Can Vince Carter keep the Vinsanity going through the playoffs?
Short answer: Not at this level. Carter is currently in the midst of his longest hot streak of the season (averaging 18.5 ppg, 3.5 treys in his last six games), stats that we can't expect a 37-year-old to sustain while essentially playing half the game (he's averaging just 26 minutes in his last six games, and 24 minutes on the season).
With that said, Carter has been pretty solid for a while now (12.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.9 apg, 0.8 spg, 1.8 3s dating back to mid-December, a stretch of 39 games), so I wouldn't worry about him losing value entirely. I would, however, worry about running into a poorly-timed fantasy playoff dud (or three) from a player who has only reached the 30-minute mark five times in 61 games this year.
@PhogForce5: analyze Derrick Favors and advice on what to do with him with regards to dynasty leaguers.
Favors has been trending downward lately (9.2 ppg, 5.8 rpg and 2.1 bpg in his last 10 games), but that shouldn't take away from what was a strong first half of the year (13.8 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 1.1 spg, 1.3 bpg in his first 38 games). Still just 22 years old, Favors remains a big-time prospect in dynasty/keeper leagues, and a player I'll be drafting aggressively next year.
@MaxYedid: what do you think of Hensons value for the rest of the year? Thought he would get hot after sanders got hurt
Even more than the aforementioned Favors, John Henson is a complete mess right now (last five games: 6.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 0.4 bpg). And given that he has made just 5-of-20 free throw attempts over an eight-game stretch, it should go without saying that he's not even worth starting in deeper leagues right now. With that said, I still like him as a bench stash, because with the league's worst team having every reason to prioritize minutes for younger players, much crazier things have happened than Henson waking up and posting numbers similar to what he did in December (15.2 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 2.0 apg, 0.8 spg, 2.3 bpg).
@imjoshman: keep Wes Johnson and Kendall Marshall or pick up sessions r Evans or adrein.
I can understand being a little bit concerned after Thursday's 48-point loss, but I'd hang onto both of the Lakers here – and I'll explain why in just a second. As for the players you were looking at on waivers, Sessions has posted some solid lines since joining the Bucks, but just 17 minutes on Wednesday is a red flag for inconsistency in Larry Drew's unpredictable rotation. (The same goes for Adrien.) As for Evans, he's an interesting flier in deeper leagues or daily formats, but is too one-dimensional to be helpful long-term.
Meanwhile, Marshall has been atrocious lately (a ghastly 2.6 ppg in his last eight games), but it's easy to envision him posting some big lines if/when Jordan Farmar runs into his next injury. Johnson has also been struggling (a total of just nine points in his last two games), but he's not a player I would consider cutting given his recent run (12.5 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 1.3 spg, 1.4 bpg and 1.5 3s in his last 15 games). As annoying as his bad games can be, there aren't many players with that kind of potential in 3s, steals and blocks.
@myroeveryday: danny green or wes johnson?
Speaking of 3s/steals/blocks… Green and Johnson are both inconsistent scorers who can put up some dynamic stats when they're on, but because of playing time I'll take Johnson (34 minutes per game in his last 15) over Green (23 minutes per game over his last five). With that said, Green is still useful right now after posting 11.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 2.2 apg, 0.7 spg, 1.2 bpg and 2.1 3s in his last 14 games. And in both cases, you have to be patient enough to live with some ugly box scores to reap the benefits.
@stevenpaice: would you have Middleton or Antetokounmpo for the remainder of the season? And Dunleavy or Green?
Personally I'd put Mike Dunleavy slightly ahead of Green because he's more consistent/less maddening while playing 35 minutes per night over the last month-plus. As for Khris Middleton vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo, as much as I like Antetokounmpo as a prospect, I would definitely take Middleton here. He's a solid source of points and 3s without the same inconsistency headaches you'll get from Antetokounmpo.
@PeteKotsonis: What should I expect from Hibbert the rest of the way? Blocks only?
Roy Hibbert started off strong this year (12.6 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 2.8 bpg in his first 30 games), but as I'm sure most of you have noticed, his offensive game has been absent for a while now. Since posting back-to-back games of 20 and 26 points on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, Hibbert has averaged just 8.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 2.0 bpg in his last 16 games. And going back to Jan. 1, Hibbert has averaged 10.3 ppg, 6.6 rpg and 2.1 bpg. So the short answer is yes, it's safe to adjust expectations and treat Hibbert as primarily a blocks specialist at this point, if you haven't done so already.
@jvchua: Who is the better pickup for playoffs, Matt Barnes, Courtney Lee, Terrence Ross or James Anderson?
I'll rule out Barnes right away because he's got a long track record of getting hot like this for brief stretches, but ultimately not sustaining it. Plus he's benefitting from Jamal Crawford's absence, so I really just see him as a short-term option right now.
The other players all have their flaws as well. Anderson and Ross are both streaky/inconsistent scorers, while Lee has been pretty consistent since joining Memphis, but has started to struggle now that Tony Allen is back (just 6.5 ppg for Lee in his last two games). Bottom line: I wouldn't expect any of these guys to be big difference-makers in the fantasy playoffs, but personally I'd take a shot on Ross and hope that one of his hot streaks coincides with a great playoff schedule for the Raptors.

Village to Village Network helps communities establish and manage their own aging in place initiatives called Villages.
In 2010, the Village to Village Network – a national organization that collaborates to maximize the growth, impact and sustainability of individual Villages and the Village Movement – was formed. The Network provides expert guidance, resources and support to help communities establish and maintain their Villages. The Village Movement started with Beacon Hill Village in Boston over 15 years ago and today there are over 240 open Villages and more than 100 in development in 41 states and the District of Columbia. Village to Village Network and the Village Movement will not only impact Villages and their members, but the lives of countless families, caregivers and members of the broader community they serve.
MISSION: The Village to Village Network is the essential tool that enables community members to build and sustain thriving Villages. The Network creates interactions that connect Villages with resources, education and expertise.
VISION: Through innovation, collaboration, advocacy and inclusion, the Village to Village Network expands opportunity, choice, support and care for all older people.
Villages are well positioned to improve the population health of the communities they serve. Until the year 2029, 10,000 people will turn 65 on a daily basis. In Britain and the United States, roughly one in three people older than 65 live alone, and in the United States, half of those older than 85 live alone. Studies in both countries show the prevalence of loneliness among people older than 60 ranging from 10% to 46%.
"The profound effects of loneliness on health and independence are a critical public health problem," said Dr. Carla M. Perissinotto, a geriatrician at the University of California, San Francisco. "It is no longer medically or ethically acceptable to ignore older adults who feel lonely and marginalized." Research shows that 60% of health outcomes are based on behavioral, socio-economic and environmental factors.
Village members experience reduced isolation, increased independence, and enhanced purpose of life. "Villages are instrumental in helping people remain in their homes and independent in their communities." - Ilene Henshaw, AARP, Department of Government Affairs.
