David Stern holds key to Sacramento Kings' future
- Sacramento Kings%27 future will be decided in one week before NBA%27s Board of Governors
- NBA Commissioner David Stern still wields enough influence to tip scales in sale
- Stern mostly has stood behind Sacramento group in efforts against moving team to Seattle
When David Stern announced he would retire next February, his 30th anniversary as NBA commissioner, he likely thought he had seen it all.
But here he is, in the 11th hour of a tenure that has been historic and memorable in many ways, directing traffic in an unprecedented affair, this fight for the Kings between Sacramento and Seattle, that will leave a lasting note on his legacy. And with a week left before the Board of Governors meetings in New York, when a vote on the matter likely will take place, this much has become abundantly clear: Stern still wields considerable influence, and strong signs persist that he's doing all he can to keep the team in Sacramento.
For all of Stern's talk of playing a merely advisory role, the growing sentiment from all sides is the commissioner, who has always been clear about his distaste for relocation, is determined to avoid having a sixth team change cities on his watch. And he remains powerful enough to pull it off. The story line is sticky, of course, because of the way the league moved the Seattle SuperSonics to the Oklahoma City in 2008 and the widely held assumption that Stern was hellbent on returning the NBA to Seattle before he retired.
This is a good problem to have for Stern and his successor, deputy commissioner Adam Silver. They clearly are smitten with the potential global impact that could come with Sacramento's lead investor, Indian software tycoon Vivek Ranadive, but might have a hard time denying Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and his deep pockets. Rumors of expansion as the potential solution to satisfy both sides persist, but Stern has said consistently it is not an option at the moment. The reality remains that one city will go home unhappy. The Sacramento group needs eight votes to block the agreed-upon deal that is in place with the Seattle investment group and the Maloof family that owns the team. The Sacramento group, headed by former NBA point guard and Mayor Kevin Johnson, hopes the board will accept its deal that is expected to match the Seattle group's. Whichever way this goes, Stern's final say will guide it.
The tale of the tape is impressive and complex. Ballmer, who has a net worth of $15.2 billion, according to Forbes, and hedge fund manager Chris Hansen lead the Seattle group, a pairing so powerful that their purchase price, a valuation of $525 million to buy 65% of the team, is seen as relative pocket change. Yet Sacramento – small market though it may be – has a group that has piqued Stern's interest because of the globalization that he has made such a hallmark of his career.
If Sacramento keeps the team, Ranadive, who founded his $4 billion TIBCO software company and is a minority owner of the Golden State Warriors, would become the first majority owner of Indian descent in a league with only a minimal presence in the world's second-most-populated country. Stern, coincidentally enough, was in Mumbai this week, predicting there would be an Indian player in the NBA within five years. Connecting the dots has never been so easy.
The Maloofs, whose attempt two years ago to move the team to Anaheim was undercut by the NBA and who have bristled at how they've been marginalized in this latest process, tried to re-insert themselves into the situation on Wednesday. According to The Sacramento Bee, they gave the Sacramento group a 5 p.m. PT Friday deadline to issue a written, binding backup offer that matches the Seattle deal. The report was met with a collective yawn from the Sacramento side, with Johnson indicating Wednesday he would continue to make calls from the NBA-issued playbook Stern told him to stick to so long ago.
"I don't have anything negative to say about the Maloofs," Johnson said. "I feel that there's a process that the NBA laid out. Our owners are abiding by that process. They're communicating regularly with the NBA. They're communicating regularly with the Maloofs and their representatives.
"I think at the end of the day, it won't be about all these rumors being said. It will be, really, two good offers from two good cities that both deserve teams. The difference is that we have a team here and I think we should keep our team."
The root of the Maloofs' angst is the disagreement about where Sacramento's offer stands. The Maloofs continue to privately question whether the Sacramento group is willing to match Seattle's offer and are concerned Hansen might sue them if he not only loses out on the team, but also loses money in the process. But a person with knowledge of the situation said it was made clear to the NBA at an April 3 meeting in New York that the Sacramento side will fully match the offer. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the negotiations.
Because the Hansen-Ballmer group gave the Maloofs a $30 million deposit that was characterized as "non-refundable" in early February as a sign of their commitment, the Sacramento group, according to the person who was at the meetings in which both sides addressed the NBA's relocation and finance advisory committees, attempted to come in $30 million lower than Seattle as an initial strategy. Their hope was that the NBA would consider those funds, in essence, the cost of doing business for Seattle and that the deal would be deemed acceptable as long as the Maloofs walked away with the same amount of profit from their pitch.
Yet when the NBA indicated that the approach was not acceptable, according to the person, it was made clear that they were prepared to fully match. The NBA is not expected to allow the situation to evolve into a bidding war should the Seattle side attempt to simply up its binding bid.
When asked about the deposit and how it would factor in at the April 3 news conference, Silver said it was a "contingent deal" based on the Hansen-Ballmer group getting and relocating the team, though it remains to be seen if Hansen and Ballmer agree. And with so many surmising that the Maloofs' deadline came as a result of them being unclear where Sacramento's side stands, Johnson disputed the notion that there is a communications breakdown.
"They know the (offer) number — trust me," he said. "They know the number. We articulated to all the owners, attorneys have reached out to the Maloof families. They know what the number is. They know that it's better than competitive. I think Stern came out April 3 and made a press conference and essentially said, 'Money is not an issue right now.' So I mean that right there says volumes from where our offer was.
"You can ask me a hundred different ways. Money is not an issue. Our group has stepped up and (done) what's necessary for our community, which we call 'Playing to win' to keep our team in Sacramento. Honestly."
The possible evidence of Stern's preference has been mounting for some time, but his comments at a March 8 news conference in Oakland seemed most telling. After indicating that Sacramento's initial offer was well short of what would be deemed necessary to be considered by the Board of Governors, he said, "I have an expectation, a hope, that the variance (between the offers) will be eliminated by the time the owners give it consideration." He said April 3 that money was no longer an issue in the offer, and the hope that had started to sink in Sacramento was afloat again.
Then came this week's development that, on face value, should have been such a significant blow to Sacramento: Lead arena investor Ron Burkle, who for years was considered the possible hero for their efforts, was not allowed to be involved in the team or arena proposal because he has a stake in the sports agency Relativity Media. (Burkle is still heavily involved in economic development around the proposed arena.) The league issued a statement confirming the development, but seemed otherwise numb to the notion that it was a setback for Sacramento.
The end to this two-year long tale isn't clear just yet, but this much is clear: if the team stays, it will have everything to do with Stern.

I have a table stored in an SDE geodatabase for all point features with an additional GEOMETRY_ID. A few non-spatial data tables are stored in an ordinary MS SQL Server database. They can be joined by the common GEOMETRY_ID and the layer is stored in a MXD.
The MXD file couldn't be published as feature service, so Add, Update and Delete operations cannot be applied to this layer. Therefore, I am planning to move the non-spatial database to SDE geodatabase and published as feature service.
I have questions as below:
Is that true that a feature layer in MXD that has joined data from non-geo database cannot be published as feature service in ArcGIS Server?
In order to allow operations to those non-spatial tables, say Add, Update and Delete records, is it a good practise to store them into SDE geodatabase and published as feature service?

CBS chief touts renewed sensitivity post-Newtown
CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler says the network is sensitive to concerns about violence following the Connecticut school shooting, and that everything it puts on the air is appropriate.
The network's prime-time schedule is dominated by crime procedurals, many with gruesome murders. Tassler said Saturday that CBS' paradigm is that the good guy always wins and the bad guy goes to jail.
She said NBC entertainment head Robert Greenblatt made a "huge mistake" in singling out the CBS show "Criminal Minds" for its violence. She said, however, that it's not a show for children.
Tassler said the shooting of school children in Newton, Conn., has shaken her and others at CBS and they've come to work with a renewed sensitivity.

Every reference, figure, and table should be cited in the text in numerical order according to order of mention.
Clinical Perspectives
The authors should delineate clinical competencies and translational outlook recommendations for their manuscripts. These competencies should not restate the questions underlying the work but describe the implications of the study and how the new information can be integrated into current practice based on the 6 domains delineated by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and adopted by the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF). These should be listed in the manuscript after the text and before the references. Please review the examples provided below. The competencies describe the implications of the study for current practice. The translational outlook places the work in a futuristic context, emphasizing directions for additional research.
Clinical Competencies
Competency-based learning in cardiovascular medicine addresses the 6 domains promulgated by the ACGME and endorsed by the American Board of Internal Medicine (Medical Knowledge, Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Systems-Based Practice, Practice-Based Learning, and Professionalism) (http://www.acgme.org/acgmeweb). The ACCF has adopted this format for its competency and training statements, career milestones, lifelong learning, and educational programs. The ACCF also has developed tools to assist physicians in assessing, enhancing, and documenting these competencies (www.acc.org/education-and-meetings/products-and-resources/competencies). Authors are asked to consider the clinical implications of their report and identify applications in one or more these competency domains that could be used by clinician-readers to enhance their competency as professional caregivers. This applies not only to physicians-in-training, but to the sustained commitment to education and continuous improvement across the span of their professional careers.
Translational Outlook
Translating biomedical research from the laboratory bench, clinical trials, or global observations to the care of individual patients can expedite discovery of new diagnostic tools and treatments through multidisciplinary collaboration. Effective translational medicine facilitates implementation of evolving strategies for prevention and treatment of disease in the community. The Institute of Medicine identified two areas needing improvement: testing basic research findings in properly designed clinical trials and, once the safety and efficacy of an intervention has been confirmed, more efficiently promulgating its adoption into standard practice (Sung NS, Crowley WF, Genel M. The meaning of translational research and why it matters. JAMA 2008;299:3140–8). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recognized the importance of translational biomedical research, emphasizing multifunctional collaborations between researchers and clinicians to leverage new technology and accelerate the delivery of new therapies to patients (http://www.ncats.nih.gov/about/about.html). Authors are asked to place their work in the context of the scientific continuum, by identifying impediments and challenges requiring further investigation and anticipating next steps and directions for future research.
Clinical Trials
EXAMPLE 1: For a Clinical Trial [N Engl J Med 2012;367:2375–84]:
Competency in Medical Knowledge: CABG surgery is the preferred method of revascularization for patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease.
Competency in Patient Care: The diabetic patient with coronary symptomatology, prior to the diagnostic catheterization, should be made aware that if multivessel disease is identified and intervention is indicated, surgical consultation should be entertained.
Translational Outlook 1: Although this is a relatively short-term study (median of 3.8 years), longer-term follow up of FREEDOM will lead to better understanding of the comparative benefit by CABG, specifically on mortality.
Translational Outlook 2: Compliance to medication is nonsatisfactory in patients with coronary artery disease. Comparing the compliance of FREEDOM patients taking a "polypill" approach (including aspirin, statin, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) with the compliance of patients treated conventionally with individual agents should be undertaken.
Translational Science Studies
EXAMPLE 2: For a Translational Science Study [Nat Med 2014;20:215–9]:
Competency in Medical Knowledge: Inflammation is one of the major determinants of atherosclerotic plaque instability. Positron emission tomography with F18-labeled FDG has been employed for the identification of the macrophages in high-risk patients. Imaging with mannose, the isomer of glucose, may have an advantage because a subset of macrophages in high-risk plaques develop mannose receptors.
Translational Outlook 1: Although circulating biomarkers of inflammation, such as hs-CRP, provide reliable information of systemic inflammation, detection of inflammation at the plaque level may allow identification of the high-risk plaques.
Translational Outlook 2: Plaque imaging with sugars, although feasible, must in a randomized fashion investigate whether treatment of individual high-risk plaques would favorably influence major adverse outcomes in atherosclerotic disease.
Meta-Analysis or Review Article
EXAMPLE 3: For a Meta-Analysis or a Review Article [Lancet 2014;383:955–62]:
Competency in Medical Knowledge 1: Selection of antithrombotic therapy for prevention of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation must consider several clinical factors, including the patient's values and preferences.
Competency in Medical Knowledge 2: The oral direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran, and factor Xa inhibitors, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban (so-called novel oral anticoagulants or NOACs) avoid the dietary restrictions and need for routine coagulation monitoring that are cumbersome aspects of anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin.
Competency in Patient Care: All 3 NOACs currently approved for clinical use in the United States represent advances over warfarin because of their more predictable pharmacological profiles, fewer drug interactions, and considerably lower risk of intracranial bleeding than warfarin, but these advantages come at greater monetary cost, and there is presently no approved antidote or validated strategy rapid reversal of anticoagulation induced by any of the NOACs.
Competency in Interpersonal & Communication Skills: It is important to discuss the available options with patients who are candidates for the newer agents.
Translational Outlook 1: The mechanism by which each of the NOACs evaluated to date cause less intracerebral hemorrhage than well-managed warfarin anticoagulation requires further investigation.
Translational Outlook 2: Additional research is needed to understand the safety and efficacy of the NOACs, alone or in combination in patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valves to overcome the toxicity of this type of anticoagulation in the limited studies undertaken to date that contraindicate their use in patients who have undergone heart valve replacement with mechanical prostheses.

Place crop marks on photomicrographs to show only the essential field. Designate special features with arrows. All symbols, arrows, and lettering on half-tone illustrations must contrast with the background. There is no fee for the publication of color figures. Our editors encourage authors to submit figures in color, as we feel it improves the clarity and visual impact of the images.
• Inclusion of videos in the published paper is at the discretion of the editors.
• Video submissions for viewing online should be one of the following formats: AudioVideo Interleave (.avi), MPEG (.mpg), or QuickTime (.qt, .mov). AVI files can be displayed via Windows Media Player. MPEG files can be displayed via Windows Media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/players.aspx. QuickTime files require QuickTime software (free) from Apple: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/index.html.
• Videos should be brief whenever possible (less than 5 minutes). Longer videos will require longer download times and may have difficulty playing online. Videos should be restricted to the most critical aspects of your research. A longer procedure can be restructured as several shorter videos and submitted in that form.
• It is advisable to compress files to use as little bandwidth as possible and to avoid overly long download times. Video files should be no larger than 5 megabytes.
• A video legends page giving a brief description of the video content should be provided for each video.
Editorial Policies
All manuscripts must be submitted online at http://www.jaccsubmit.org.
Manuscript submissions should conform to the guidelines set forth in the "Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (ICMJE Recommendations)," available online at http://www.icmje.org and most recently updated in December 2015.
Studies should be in compliance with human studies committees and animal welfare regulations of the authors' institutions and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines. Human studies must be performed with the subjects' written informed consent. Authors must provide the details of this procedure and indicate that the institutional committee on human research has approved the study protocol. If radiation is used in a research procedure, the radiation exposure must be specified in the Methods.
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in your paper. Patients have a right to privacy. Therefore, identifying information, including patients' images, names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be included in videos, recordings, written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes, and you have obtained written informed consent for publication in print and electronic form from the patient (or parent, guardian, next of kin, or other legally authorized representative). If consent is subject to conditions, the editorial office must be informed.
Written consents must be provided to the editorial office on request. Even where consent has been given, identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note. If such consent has not been obtained, personal details of patients included in any part of the paper and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission. Animal investigation must conform to the "Position of the American Heart Association on Research Animal Use," adopted by the AHA on November 11, 1984. If equivalent guidelines are used, they should be indicated. The AHA position includes: 1) animal care and use by qualified individuals, supervised by veterinarians, and all facilities and transportation must comply with current legal requirements and guidelines; 2) research involving animals should be done only when alternative methods to yield needed information are not possible; 3) anesthesia must be used in all surgical interventions, all unnecessary suffering should be avoided and research must be terminated if unnecessary pain or fear results; and 4) animal facilities must meet the standards of the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC).
The JACC Journals have an ethics committee comprised of 7 members, which oversees quality control and will look into the issues of concern, if any.
Exclusive Submission/Publication Policy
Manuscripts are considered for review only under the conditions that they are not under consideration elsewhere and that the data presented have not appeared on the Internet or have not been previously published (including symposia, proceedings, transactions, books, articles published by invitation, and preliminary publications of any kind, excepting abstracts that do not exceed 400 words). On acceptance, transfer of copyright to the American College of Cardiology Foundation will be required. Elsevier will maintain copyright records for the College.
Relationship with Industry Policy
All authors are required to disclose any relationship with industry and other relevant entities-financial or otherwise-within the past 2 years that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted article. All relevant relationships with industry, disclosures, and sources of funding for the work should be acknowledged on the title page, as should all institutional affiliations of the authors (including corporate appointments). This includes associations such as consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interests or patent-licensing arrangements. If no relationship with industry exists, please state this on the title page.
All forms are now signed and submitted electronically. Once a manuscript is accepted, the authors will be sent links to complete the electronic Relationship with Industry forms. Elsevier now handles copyright for the journal. Only the corresponding author may electronically sign the copyright form; however, all authors are required to electronically sign a relationship with industry form. Once completed, a PDF version of the form is e-mailed to the author. Authors can access and confirm receipt of forms by logging into their account at http://www.jaccsubmit.org. Each author will be alerted if his or her form has not been completed by the deadline. Please note that copyright is now handled by the publisher and no copyright form will be sent to you until the manuscript has been sent to the publisher. Only authors appearing on the final title page will be sent a form. YOU CANNOT ADD AUTHORS AFTER ACCEPTANCE OR ON PROOFS.
The JACC Journals program prefers the term Relationships with Industry and Other Entities as opposed to the term Conflict of Interest, because, by definition, it does NOT necessarily imply a conflict. When all relationships are disclosed with the appropriate detail regarding category and amount, and managed appropriately for building consensus and voting, the JACC Journals program believes that potential bias can be avoided and the final published document is strengthened since the necessary expertise is accessible.
Review Process
JACC uses a single-blind peer-review system, meaning that the authors are blinded to the identity of the reviewers and as a general rule, although there are exceptions, the reviewers are blinded to each other. While the JACC Associate Editor will be identified at the end of the review process, all correspondence concerning a manuscript should be addressed to the JACC editorial staff at jacc{at}acc.org. At initial submission, a manuscript is reviewed by editorial staff for compliance with journal style and to make sure the submission is clear and legible for reviewers and editors. Once the editorial staff have checked in the paper, it is assigned to the JACC Editor-in-Chief, who will assign it to an Associate Editor. The Associate Editor then determines if it should be sent for peer review or if it is not of sufficient priority for JACC. All reviewers and editors are asked to report any potential conflicts of interest, and when those exist the manuscript is reassigned to a different editor or reviewer. Once two reviews have been completed, the submission is reviewed by all JACC associate editors in a weekly meeting. The group then comes to one of the four decisions below:
• Accept. The manuscript is acceptable for publication in its current form. However, minor edits may be made by the JACC medical editors, illustrators, or the publisher, and authors will need to work with the appropriate contacts to ensure these changes are incorporated post-acceptance.
• Minor Revision. It is important to note that this decision does not guarantee acceptance. However, less significant edits are required than a Revision Required decision.
• Revision Required. The manuscript is unacceptable for publication in its current form. However, the editors are willing to reconsider a thoroughly revised manuscript. The authors must respond to all reviewer and editor comments and the submission will be re-reviewed and treated as a new submission.
• Reject. The manuscript is unacceptable for publication and/or is not an appropriate fit for JACC.
If a figure/table is reprinted or adapted from a previously published work, permission must be obtained from that publisher and sent to the editorial office. Please also see Figures.
Each author must have contributed significantly to the submitted work. If authorship is attributed to a group (either solely or in addition to one or more individual authors), all members of the group must meet the full criteria and requirements for authorship. To save space, if group members have been previously published, the article should be referenced rather than reprinting the list of names. The editors consider authorship to include all of the following:
• Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
• Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
• Final approval of the version to be published; AND
• Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Participation solely in the collection of data does not justify authorship but may be appropriately acknowledged in the Acknowledgment section. Authors must also agree to the following statements. These questions will be part of the submission process and manuscripts will not be reviewed until they are confirmed: 1) the paper is not under consideration elsewhere; 2) none of the paper's contents with the exception of abstracts have been previously published; 3) all authors have read and approved the manuscript; 4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved; 5) the full disclosure of any relationship with industry (see "Relationship with Industry Policy") or that no such relationship exists, is stated; and 6) the authors have provided both an illustration and the appropriate material for inclusion in the box that appears after the "Conclusions" section in the manuscript. Exceptions must be explained.
Expedited Review
In order for Original Investigations to be considered for expedited review, they should report important original findings of high-potential clinical impact or research significance. Authors should request expedited review in their cover letter at the time of submission. The editors commit to a decision regarding suitability for expedited publication processing within 2 days, and an initial decision within 14 days. Those manuscripts not deemed appropriate for the expedited publication track will be considered according to the standard review process. We always inform authors whether we are able to offer expedited review. An agreement to provide expedited review does not guarantee acceptance.
All publishable manuscripts will be reviewed for appropriateness and accuracy of statistical methods and statistical interpretation of results. We subscribe to the statistics section of the "Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (ICMJE Recommendations)," available at http://www.icmje.org. In the Methods section, provide a subsection detailing the statistical methods, including specific methods used to summarize the data, methods used for hypothesis testing (if any), and the level of significance used for hypothesis testing. When using more sophisticated statistical methods (beyond t tests, chi-square, simple linear regression), specify the statistical package, version number, and nondefault options used. For more information on statistical review, see "Glantz SA. It is all in the numbers. J Am Coll Cardiol 1993;21:835–7."

Marlins sign third baseman Casey McGehee to one-year contract
The Miami Marlins today announced that the Club has signed third baseman Casey McGehee to a one-year contract. The announcement was made by Marlins President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill.
McGehee, 31, played for Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in the Pacific League of Nippon Professional Baseball last season, helping to lead the squad to its first Japan Series championship in just the ninth season since its founding.
He batted .289 (11x38) in 11 postseason games for the Golden Eagles, who defeated Central League champion Yomiuri Giants in seven games in the Japan Series; McGehee recorded a hit in nine of those contests, with a home run and two RBI.
The Santa Cruz, California native appeared in all 144 regular-season games for Rakuten, batting .292 (150x513) with 28 home runs, 30 doubles and 93 RBI. He finished tied for second in the Pacific League in home runs, ranked third in slugging percentage (.515), fourth in RBI and fifth in doubles. He also drew 70 walks, which ranked fourth.
McGehee is a veteran of five seasons in Major League Baseball, breaking in with the Cubs in 2008 before stints with Milwaukee (2009-11), Pittsburgh (2012) and the Yankees (2012). He recorded career highs in home runs (23) and RBI (104) for the Brewers in 2010, while batting .285 over 157 games.

ESA astronaut takes classroom into space
Hundreds of schoolchildren were linked to a special classroom today when ESA astronaut Frank De Winne demonstrated a curriculum-related experiment in space from inside the European Columbus laboratory during a live link-up between the International Space Station and four European science museums.
During the twenty minute link-up, De Winne conducted the 'Do objects have weight in space?' experiment that was proposed by European teachers in response to a call for experiments that can be carried out on the International Space Station (ISS) to demonstrate the effects of freefall.
The event was enabled by ESA's Directorate of Human Spaceflight and made possible through the technical means of the Directorate's Erasmus Centre. The signal was received in the Erasmus Centre and broadcast live to all four event locations.
The demonstration involved calculating the mass of an object on the ISS by measuring the time it takes to oscillate whilst hooked onto a spring. The experiment helps to illustrate the difference between the concepts of weight and mass.
Schoolchildren located at four science museums in Barcelona (Spain), Thessaloniki (Greece), Milan (Italy) and Mechelen (Belgium) simultaneously followed De Winne's demonstration.
The live call with De Winne was the highlight of a three hour programme connecting the four sites, which also saw the schoolchildren perform the experiment themselves. The audience was also treated to a space show, a quiz and a lecture from a space expert.
In a message to all the participants in today's event, ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight Simonetta Di Pippo said, "One of our missions is to bring the fascination of human spaceflight and exploration as close as possible to our fellow citizens and to our youth to inspire them and motivate them to pursue engineering and scientific studies in their educational path. 'Take your classroom into space' is the best example we can offer."
"Our astronauts are our best ambassadors. They are very effective in providing demonstrations of physical phenomena; they are very good in supporting the teachers adding also the inspirational element that by studying hard you can reach the sky, and beyond!" Di Pippo added.
The 'Take your classroom into space' activity is one of several education activities planned during De Winne's ongoing six-month OasISS mission on the ISS. On 6 October, De Winne will also make a live call to the ISS Day in Brussels, Belgium.

Do you think you've seen everything? Well, think again. The sex industry is booming, and new sex toys for men are being released all the time. At Motsutoys we do our best to find the newest, most innovative and most exciting products from all your favourite brands, and we keep an eye out for up-and-coming brands as well.
If you see anything interesting that we don't stock yet, feel free to contact us and we'll take a look at it!
Innovation-driven sex toys for men
The Onaholes market has become more and more competitive over the years: while at first a simple pocket pussy with some cute art on the box was enough to stand out, now companies need to look for new ways to get and keep their customers' interest.
One way to stand out is with new designs. Sometimes developments in mold-making or casting make new shapes possible, and sometimes someone has a brilliant idea that simply hasn't been tried before. The easy to clean fold-open designs of the Tenga Fliphole series were a huge innovation at the time which got more people into onaholes. Sometimes, innovation is simpler than that: the micro-ridge structure, for example, feels much better than it looks and has become more widely used after Ride Japan made the Virgin Loop onaholes.
Another way to make new sex toys for men is to create new materials or combine them in innovative ways. Materials can make a huge difference in how sex toys for men feel: a softer material will be much less timulating than a firm one. Brands like Tomax even allow you to get your favourite onahole in different levels of hardness. Another innovation when it comes to the use of materials was the introduction of an internal skeleton in the largest sex toys for men, to increase realism and keep them from flopping about like a pudding.
In their constant race to develop more new sex toys for men companies sometimes release some odd-looking designs customers often ask us "does this actually feel good, or is it just for novelty?" That question is hard to answer, since what feels good is so subjective, but it's true that some designs end up being more popular than others. We can't blame the manufacturers, though: sometimes you just have to throw things at the wall and see what sticks!
Want to keep track of the newest sex toys for men? Keep an eye on this page, and don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter!

What quilter doesn't need a scrap-o-lator to deal with all her scraps? Dianne made four fabulous scrappy quilts but had barely made a dent in her scrap pile, so she decorated her table with a runner and reversible placemats. More scraps remained. She sewed a lamp shade. More scraps. She stopped sewing and started gluing. A rug, a mirror, a folding chair, another lamp, a mailbox, and one piggy bank later, she gave up trying to scrape the bottom of her scrap baskets and wrote this book. Now anyone can make these 13 scrap-o-lator projects. Out of Print

Customer Reviews
- Scrap-O-Lator Quilts & More — Review by Marty Mason
- I can't quit talking about this book. A refreshing and delightful approach to quilting and home decor. Dianne took a basket of scraps and what she made with those scraps continues to make my heart go zing! (Posted on 3/14/12)
- Scrap-o-lator Quilts & More by Dianne Springer — Review by James A. Cox, Edtor-in-Chief
- "Scrap-o-lator Quilts & More" teaches how to use quilting scraps to make small quilts, placements, toys and more, and is a fine choice for any avid quilter who seeks a guide to using up quilting scraps. From folding chairs and rugs to bathroom accessories, this outlines a wealth of projects that utilize a scrap stash and build fun projects from bits and pieces. Any quilter or needleworker seeking to use a stash's bits and pieces will find this an inspirational guide fueled by step-by-step projects! --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review, March 2012. (Posted on 3/12/12)
- Scrap-o-lator — Review by Louise Adams
- This beautiful book by Dianne Springer is filled with great ideas and gorgeous photos. The instructions are clear and very easy to follow. The variety of projects in the book would insure that everyone would find things to make. If you do not like to create, this book is so pretty it would make a great "Coffee Table" book. (Posted on 2/5/12)
- Scrap-O-Lator Quilts and More — Review by Dianne Springer, Author of Scrap-o-Lator Quilts & More
Oh my gosh. This book is FA-A-A-AB-U-LOUS. The best book on scrappy quilts that I have ever seen. In fact, I think that I need one in every room, especially the potty room for some light reading. That way as soon as I get done, I am going to make the rug, no, the lamp, no, the chair,.....I want to do it AL-L-L-L-L-L. Oh wait, I already did that, heh heh.
Thank you, AQS!!! (Posted on 2/1/12)
- Scrap-o-lator Quilts & More — Review by Kathie R Kerler
- After only two years of quilting, author Diane Springer found herself with two large baskets of scraps. She began making scrap quilts in order to eliminate her scrap pile, and she wants to help you to the same. Her quilts are a blend of colored prints mixed in with black and white to add drama. My favorite is the quilt titled "Dad's Diamonds." The layout is particularly effective. In addition to quilts, Diane features a number of imaginative home dec projects that take little to no sewing, which might interest some of the kids in the family. (Posted on 1/24/12)
- Scrap-O-Lator — Review by Patty Martin
This book is a must-have for all of us that have scraps. That would be all of us, wouldn't it? Not only does it show a few new ideas for scrap quilts, but lots of other ideas to use our scraps ups.
It made me think of my friend, Marsha, who always tells me I don't have enough color in my house. I think I'll need to use some of my bright scraps to recover my chairs, lamp shades, lamp bases, and my favorite, the mirror frame. And that neighbor of mine, Judi, who thinks I never finish a project, wouldn't she be surprised to see my mailbox finished in my scraps?
This book could really be a lot of fun! Fun gift ideas too! (Posted on 1/18/12)

A Boston rap artist was the opening act at the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in England on Monday where 22 people were killed and about 50 injured in an explosion.
Bianca Landrau, known as BIA and Perico Princess, tweeted that everyone she was on stage with was OK following the incident.
The Boston area native, who graduated from Medford High School, is part of Grande's Dangerous Woman Tour, which began on Feb. 3, 2017, in Phoenix, Arizona.
"Last night she called she's doing fine, scared but everybody got out there no problem," said her uncle Anthony Tamasi.
Since the bombing, Tamasi says family members have been eagerly waiting for updates.
Grande reported Monday that the European leg of the tour would be cancelled but it was unclear if the remainder would go on.
"Right now we don't know if the tour will continue, it's up to the team," says Tamasi.
He also says that's the last thing on his niece's mind since she's trying to help the victims and their families.
BIA released a statement saying, "My heart is heavy today as I extend my prayers to the children and families affected by last night's horrible tragedy in Manchester. We are sending our love to all of Manchester during this incredibly difficult time."
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
The 25-year-old graduated from Medford High School in 2008. Nick Kane, her former history teacher, says it's not a surprise she's trying to turn this into a positive.
"She was always concerned about people around her in the room and she was always looking out for her fellow classmates," said Kane.
Her uncle hopes the music and BIA's platform can make a difference, and help the victims.
"My heart goes out to the people in Manchester," said Tamasi.
BIA's uncle says the performers on tour are working on getting a fundraiser going for the victims and their families.

Today is the big day that all the hardcore nerds around here have been waiting on for a really long time. Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus is now on sale at the Verizon Wireless online store and it will be in stores and other authorized retailers by morning.
Our local Verizon Wireless store was taking reservations, so I'm headed to bed so I can wake up and grab mine in the morning. Unfortunately we are hearing that a lot of locations are first come, first serve and quantities are limited.
Are any crazy Android fans up this late waiting in front of your small town Verizon store?
We plan to share our launch stories and we want to hear yours too. Please share how your purchase experience went and let us know if you learned anything new.
Did you skip the crowds and order online from Verizon or Amazon? If you purchased offline, what retailer did you buy from? Was there any line at your store? Did you ask how many units they had for sale? Did you buy any accessories? Did you get that special $ 100 off coupon that some previous Altel customers were offered? Did your Verizon location have the double data promotion?
p.s. If you want a flashback, go read the Nexus S launch stories from last year

Yesterday I attended the Hare Krishna Festival of Chariots at Venice Beach. I was completely won over by their philosophy and free food and now renounce Buddhism forever!
Nah. But the food was very tasty (and I opted for the $7 plate rather than the free one -- much tastier!). Hare Krishnas are the best cooks in the material world. That's for sure. But, once again, as happened 20-odd years ago when I listened to their philosophy back at the Cleveland Temple, they failed to win me over. I know I rag on the Krishnas way too much. But I really don't mean to put them down specifically. I like them, actually, in some ways. It's just that that's what I know. My friend Bret came with me & when I was telling him about my experiences with the Krishnas it dawned on me just how deeply I had investigated their philosophy. I was even able to tell him how Krishna couples were supposed to "do it." I never actually lived at a Krishna temple. But a close friend of mine did. The stories I heard from her were enough for me.
At one point I watched a Krishna guy give a lecture about the Spiritual World. In the Spiritual World, he said, grass and trees and stones can all talk. It sounded like one of those old Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning TV shows. You know, like Lidsville or HR Puff'n'Stuff. Very cartoony. I like cartoons. But I like cartoons as cartoons. I don't want to pretend they're real. I mean, I don't care if trees can talk in Krishna Loka. They don't talk here. And here is what I am concerned about.
When I was a teenager investigating various Eastern religions, I checked out a number of gurus and philosophies. I had a whole bunch of translations of the Bhagavad Gita. The Krishna one was the coolest looking, but, unfortunately, the most philosophically suspect. I still ove it, though, and keep a copy on my bookshelf. I had some Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (of TM fame, the one who allegedly tried to use his spiritual powers to woo Mia Farrow) books. I had Swami Sattchitananda's album -- a double LP! I remember I liked Ramana Maharshi's books a lot and Jiddu Krishnamurti's as well. Though when I tried reading some of those in more recent years they left me a bit unimpressed.
One of the things I noticed about the Krishnas this time around is they have a very funny relationship with science. On the one hand, they endlessly put down various scientific theories. One of the regular features in their magazines was to reprint these dialogues where a Krishna devotee armed with whatever he could memorize out of an encyclopedia entry on, say, Darwin, would debate and be defeated by Srila Prabhupada, their leader, who would prove the entire theory to be poppycock. Yet, on the other hand, whenever it suits them, the Krishnas try to allign themselves with science. For example, they love scientific evidence that humans are naturally vegetarians. And they love to promote their philosophy as the science of self-realization. This is pretty typical among religious orders of various types.
When I encountered Buddhism I was amazed that it was so vastly different from the other forms of "Eastern Spirituality" I'd been exposed to. It is, in fact, totally different. Not only from other Eastern philosophical systems, but from every other philosophical system yet devised by man. It comes from a completely different place. It is not based on thought but upon action. It has nothing to do with belief and everything to do with what you do. Plus it has no beefs with science and never did even back in the olden days.
Blah-blah-blah. My editor's after me so I'm gonna go work on my book now. And maybe eat some of the incredibly delicious carob chip cookies I bought yesterday.
P.S. Take a look at the link. Gosh....

We are proud to present to you a moment from Discernmentalist Revised History uncut and uncensored: This is a tale about the Original Tea Partiers 4 Jesus and how they revolted against the Big Bad Government and the Big Name who stood against them and opposed them. The cast of characters include: a bunch of peasants (the Original Tea Partiers 4 Jesus), the Holy Roman Emperor (Big Brother) and the Big Name who stood with Big Brother against the Original Tea Partiers 4 Jesus—that Big Name of course is Martin Luther (evil Neo-Marxist Red-Letter Christian prototype).
Our tale is a tale of sadness and woe; torture and families; the rich and the poor; the old and young; of death and taxes. Our tale begins in 1524 when the Peasants (Tea Partiers 4 Jesus) who were fed up with being heavily taxed decided to rebel (but not in a Romans 13-denying way as Romans 13 doesn't apply to the rebellions of Conservative Bible-Believers only Liberals and Theologians who lied to Hitler to protect Jews even John MacArthur told us so) against the Holy Roman Emperor (the Big Bad Evil Socialist Government).
At first Martin Luther (our anti-hero and anti-Reagan of this story) agreed that the Peasants (Tea Partiers 4 Jesus) deserved a break from their taxes especially those who were extremely wealthy by Medieval standards (meaning they privately owned at least one cow)—so all the Peasants (Tea Partiers 4 Jesus) drew up a plan to lobby for tax cuts for the richest and most wealthiest among them. I mean why should they have to share their privately owned cattle or any other privately owned property with the government that only protects them and makes them secure. Why should they have to share with anyone for that matter as sharing is Communism and as we all know:
The Bible mandates free market capitalism. It is anti-socialist. When Christianity adheres to the judicial specifics of the Bible, it produces free market capitalism.
On the other hand, when Christianity rejects the judicial specifics of the Bible, it produces socialism or some politically run hybrid "middle way" between capitalism and socialism, where politicians and bureaucrats make the big decisions about how people's wealth will be allocated. Economic growth then slows or is reversed. Always.
To be continued in the next exciting part of our installments of Discernmentalist Revised History—stay tuned for the conclusion of our tale in Martin Luther Backs Socialists: Chapter The Second…

Heard the latest about Larry Craig ?
A federal judge this week will confront the surprisingly important fallout from former Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig's 2007 bathroom arrest.
other than THIS
Craig's own money may be on the line Wednesday, but that's not all. Other politicians, too, could have a future stake in what U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson says about how campaign dollars can be spent.
She looks like she means business, Larry.
The Federal Election Commission says Craig improperly used more than $216,000 in campaign funds to pay attorneys after being charged with disorderly conduct for his behavior in a Minneapolis airport men's room. Craig's attorneys insist he was on official business and so could use his campaign treasury as other legally embattled lawmakers have done before him. The judicial resolution to this dispute could have a broad reach.
"It would certainly have application for any member of Congress, when they are trying to determine if they could use campaign funds for a legal defense," Andrew D. Herman, one of Craig's attorneys, said in an interview Monday.
Lawmakers have faced this question in the past in deciding whether to use campaign funds to defend themselves against misconduct accusations. Still, the oral argument set for Wednesday morning in a Washington courtroom is the first face-to-face test for an FEC lawsuit filed against Craig last year. Until now, competing attorneys have fought each other through written filings.
Craig's case arises from his arrest on June 11, 2007, at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, while he was returning to Washington from Idaho. An undercover police officer said he was sexually solicited in the men's room by Craig. Craig ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct but denied any sexual intentions. Craig retired at the end of 2008, concluding a congressional career that began in 1981.
Craig now is a principal in New West Strategies, a self-described "strategic advocacy" firm with offices in Washington and Eagle, Idaho. The firm's recent clients have included Murray Energy Co. and Western Pacific Timber, Senate lobbying records show.
See how it works? Those lobbying firms don't care what Men's Rooms you've been trolling or what your arrest record may be like — just as long as you "know people."
Following his initial 2007 guilty admission, Craig hired two law firms in a failed effort to withdraw the politically embarrassing plea. Using campaign funds, he paid $139,352 to the Washington-based firm Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan, and an additional $77,032 to the Minnesota-based firm Kelly & Jacobson.
The FEC concluded Craig violated the federal law that prohibits converting campaign funds to private use.
The Federal Election Commission unanimously approved filing the suit in a 5-0 vote in May 2012, after Craig rebuffed earlier efforts to resolve the issue administratively.
"Craig was arrested for purely personal conduct unrelated to his duties as a federal officeholder," FEC attorneys argued in a legal brief, adding that "nothing about his officials duties caused him to engage in that personal conduct in the airport restroom, or to subsequently plead guilty, or to thereafter try to withdraw that guilty plea."
Craig's attorneys, in their own legal briefs, counter that Craig was "engaged in official, Senate-sponsored travel" at the time of his arrest. While stressing that "they do not claim that using a restroom while traveling is strictly 'official' conduct," the defense attorneys insist that the arrest and subsequent litigation "directly implicated" his public office.
It's not uncommon for lawmakers to spend campaign funds on legal defense.
Former Democratic California Rep. Gary Condit, for one, used more than $100,000 in campaign funds for attorneys during a 2001 police investigation into missing intern Chandra Levy. New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel used more than $300,000 from his political action committee to pay attorneys during a 2009-2010 House ethics investigation. Former Florida Republican Rep. Tom Feeney used more than $100,000 in campaign funds to pay attorneys during a 2007 ethics investigation.
And, in a 2007 advisory opinion with some parallels to Craig's case, the Federal Election Commission concluded that former Arizona Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe could use campaign funds to pay attorneys as he faced investigations. The House ethics committee and Justice Department inquiries dealt in part with Kolbe's alleged behavior with male House pages during a 1996 Grand Canyon trip.
"We are not asking for anything the FEC hasn't granted before," said Herman, Craig's attorney.
The judge is not expected to rule immediately Wednesday following the arguments over Craig's motion to dismiss the FEC lawsuit.
Next time you feel the need to tap your toes, Larry, take your cue from Bobby Van.

Here's some very cute news to make your Friday more tolerable.
Evie, a certified Yosemite Junior Ranger, which is quite possibly the best thing any person can be, accidentally returned home from a recent trip to the park with two sticks from the wild. You can imagine her horror at discovering these two errant pieces of bark in her knapsack. Or maybe she stole them and the whole thing is an act?? It's also a possibility that the sticks were just taking a breather from filming their Pixar short about two sticks in Yosemite who just want to make a fire (or something equally heartbreaking). The possibilities, they are endless. (But, let us be real, she probably just forgot about them.)
Nevertheless, young Evie blamed herself, and overwhelmed with regret, she penned a letter to park rangers. In the note, she expresses her remorse, and asks for the sticks to be returned to their rightful home: nature.
The ranger is now going to take pictures of the sticks roaming around Yosemite, like the Travelocity gnome, only less creepy. One day soon when Evie returns to the park, hopefully she'll get to hang with her sticks on half-dome.
