Guys, you do realize that this thread
dates back from almost two years from now?
Just sayin', you will get really confused if you don't, things were really different by then. Somebody asked about events in the past and some asked about new dragons in here. If possible, kindly make new thread for those as commenting on this would resurrect this dead thread. Thanks!

Work finished and by the time I have showered and changed it is midday and time for lunch. Self catering today.
I bike out to the farm again about 16:00 and water the trees then phone mum as we didnt manage to get a connection between the two of us at our usual time last night. Bike back to the house with Jai and Fin.

text: Summer in New York is always a good time to brush up your Shakespeare, but this summer there's especially a lot—see them all, and by August you'll have a passing familiarity with more than a quarter of his 38 plays. In fact, you've already missed some: Alan Cummings's one-man madhouse Macbeth just closed, and the Smith Street Stage just finished its free outdoor performances of Julius Caesar in Brooklyn (with a lady Caesar!). Here's what's left to see. (It's a lot! Plus, you should see Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing while it's still in theaters.)

On Saturday, neither the streets of Charleston nor the Festival After Hours: Taking it to the Streets party were dry events. The rain may have dampened the actual roads of the peninsula, but the free flowing spirits, along with the delicious nibbles, kept the fun going. Greeted by gold, that is gold-painted gals, welcomed everyone to what was to be a carnival-esque street event. Jugglers and stilt walkers roamed the fête as the Bus Shed provided patrons with shelter from the torrential downpour.
Food trucks, along with some of Charleston's top restaurants, lined the walls as guests were treated to samples that brought high-end food to a pedestrian level. Ranging from the Bresaola "Sammy" prepared by Craig Deihl of Cypress to braised short ribs from Eurasia, the Roti Rolls food truck to Wild Olive's stuffed arancini, guests debated which stop was the best—and which dishes paired the well with the signature drinks, such as Hendrick's Gin Love Dove cocktail. Diggity Doughnuts seemed to perfectly convey the contrasting nature of the evening with their unique creation of salt and pepper doughnuts which perfectly matched the informal party atmosphere.
The party, which featured music by Quiana Parler and Friends, allowed festivalgoers from the Wine + Food Festival to mingle well into the night. Merrymakers could be found dancing down the streets, along with performance troupes circulating the event, and even the chefs in the trucks themselves let their hair down. The Magic Cheese cooks seemed particularly fond of Quiana's version of The Black Eyed Peas "I've Got a Feeling," as they danced and cooked their way into the hearts of the guests. As members of Dance FX conga-ed around the room and the Missing Links featuring Phuse dance group defied gravity with their break dancing skills, revelers debated over the best drinks and eats.
With the music ending, the dancers leaving, and the food digesting, partiers prepared to take it back to the actual streets of Charleston and brave the rain one last time before heading home. Bringing together the love of food merged with the love of Charleston, the event proved to be the perfect end to the Saturday's festivities of the BB&T Wine + Food Festival—much like the white-chocolate dipped strawberry ice cream and almond cookie sandwich from Twenty-Six Divine which made for one delicious final bite.

4.14: Mass Extinctions
What happened to the dinosaurs?
Most of the dinosaurs disappeared from Earth about 65 million years ago. This is probably the most famous example of a mass extinction. So how do you define a mass extinction?
Mass Extinctions
An organism goes extinct when all of the members of a species die out and no more members remain. Extinctions are part of natural selection. Species often go extinct when their environment changes, and they do not have the traits they need to survive. Only those individuals with the traits needed to live in a changed environment survive (Figure below).
Humans have caused many extinctions by introducing species to new places. For example, many of New Zealand's birds have adapted to nesting on the ground. This was possible because there were no land mammals in New Zealand. Then Europeans arrived and brought cats, foxes, and other predators with them. Several of New Zealand's ground nesting birds, such as this flightless kiwi, are now extinct or threatened because of these predators.
Mass extinctions, such as the extinction of dinosaurs and many marine mammals, happened after major catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes (Figure below).
The fossil of Tarbosaurus, one of the land dinosaurs that went extinct during one of the mass extinctions.
Since life began on Earth, there have been several major mass extinctions. If you look closely at the geological time scale, you will find that at least five major mass extinctions have occurred in the past 540 million years. In each mass extinction, over 50% of animal species died. The total number of mass extinctions could be as high as 20.
Two of the largest extinctions are described below:
- At the end of the Permian period, about 99.5% of individual organisms went extinct! Up to 95% of marine species perished, compared to "only" 70% of land species. Some scientists theorize that the extinction was caused by the formation of Pangaea, or one large continent made out of many smaller ones. One large continent has a smaller shoreline than many small ones, so reducing the shoreline space may have caused much of the marine life to go extinct (Figure below).
The supercontinent Pangaea encompassed all of today's continents in a single land mass. This configuration limited shallow coastal areas which harbor marine species. This may have contributed to the dramatic event which ended the Permian—the most massive extinction ever recorded.
- At the end of the Cretaceous period, or 65 million years ago, all dinosaurs (except those which led to birds) went extinct. Some scientists believe a possible cause is a collision between the Earth and a comet or asteroid. The collision could have caused tidal waves, changed the climate, and reduced sunlight by 10-20%. A decrease in photosynthesis would have resulted in less plant food, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Evidence for the extinction of dinosaurs by asteroid includes an iridium-rich layer in the earth, dated at 65.5 million years ago. Iridium is rare in the Earth's crust but common in comets and asteroids. Maybe the asteroid that hit the earth left the iridium behind.
After each mass extinction, new species develop to fill the habitats where old species lived. This is well documented in the fossil record.
- extinction: Dying out of a species so that no members of the species exist anymore.
- mass extinction: Dying out of a large number of species within a relatively short period of time, usually due to major catastrophes.
- Pangaea: Supercontinent of all the major land masses.
- Extinctions, when a species entirely dies out, can happen when the environment changes, and the organisms do not have the traits they need to survive.
- Since life began on Earth, there have been at least five major massive extinctions.

Scene: A shop in Woking, today.
Assistant: That'll be £5, please.
Me: I was wondering. You know you have some rubber ducks for sale?
Assistant: Yes?
Me: Well, I was wondering... why are rubber ducks always yellow? I mean, have you ever seen a yellow duck? Ducks are brown, or there are the ones with green heads, but I've never met a yellow one.
Assistant: Hm. I've seen yellow ducks on the Thames.
Me: Really? Kit, could we go and look at the Thames this afternoon?
Kit: Maybe!
Assistant: Yes-- fluffy yellow ones. You know, the ducklings.
Me: Wait! You're right! Baby ducks are yellow! I was thinking of the adults. So rubber ducks are supposed to be ducklings, even the big ones?
Assistant: I think so, yes.
Me: Thank you! You've solved a mystery for me. What a helpful person!

Just ordered a couple of IN STOCK McQuarrie Concept Boba Fetts! Link:
Just ordered a couple of IN STOCK McQuarrie Concept Boba Fetts! Link:
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Damn. Missed the Fett, but got a few other things I haven't seen yet.
I could have gotten 2 Fetts (had them in my virtual basket there at KB) but decided not to. I don't think he'll be hard to find:
I hit my Wal-Mart tonight and they had 12 cases or more of TAC Wave 1. The guy opened several for me and let me take what I wanted:
I got 2 Galactic Marines (makes my 4-count I wanted complete) another Super Battle Droid, and another Mustafar Lava Miner.
Then I completed the set I got for one of my collecting buddies getting him a Galactic Marine, Airborne, Miner, and SBD as well (I already had the rest for him)
They also had the Order-66 Treachery at Saleucami sets and I got myself one. They got in boxes of these and there might have been 8 of them per box and 6 boxes or something.
No new Galactic Heroes
No TAC Wave 2 - but I really didn't expect to find that. I think the report was suspect in that case.
They also did not get the new vehicles, but I won a black variant Clone Pilot on eBay to fly one of the V-wings I plan on purchasing when I get the chance. I think my friend has another one he'll let go for me. (With shipping, my pilot was only $10 so it didn't bother me).
The Spider-Man 3 collection arrived at Wal-Mart as well but is being held until it turns midnite on Saturday the 24th. Most of the toys for any line aren't supposed to be stocked until then (the Wal-Mart reset goes into effect then) but Spider-Man will be their focus. There will be a guy in a Spider-Man costume at many Wal-Mart stores and you'll be able to get your picture taken with him. (He'll be at too many stores all at once for it to be El Chuxter in the Spidey-suit). But I'm thinking about getting my picture taken with Spider-Man. It would help support the evidence that I'm a Super-Geek on MySpace.
Well, that's about it. Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th will be big toy shopping days at Wal-Mart and Target respectively. With many Wal-Mart's being 24 hour stores now, I recommend hitting them at 2am or so - everything will be gone by any decent hour because jerks like myself will have already visited your local stores.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
This afternoon I went on a long run out east along the 210. The Wal-Mart in Duarte had at least 20 or so Treachery at Saleucami Battle Packs. They also had Wave 1 TAC. A woman had most of the clones in her basket, but I think she was just looking for the best paint apps. She put an Airborne trooper back on the pegs, said she wasn't getting that one, so I bought it. Didn't stick around to see if she cleaned out the other figs though. Had a ton of Vader albums too.
Target was sporatic with wave 9 remnants. Did get 2 combat engineer troopers at Eagle Rock, and a Elite Corps trooper in Pasadena. I think they may have been the wave 9 revisions, with lots of older figs too (Chewy/3PO, Endor Luke etc.)
Just need to find Appo now. Don't think I'll find the Wal-Mart wave in LA.
If anyone finds a WM Saleucami BP, please grab one for me. I don't have time to trek to the outer rim territories for it.
I'll be after 3 of the Fetts when they hit stores, but not too disappointed I missed him on KB. One'll be 'regular' from the turnaround painting, and the other two'll sport the alternate helmet until I get around to customizing one into something else. The other alt-helmet one will get a few minor tweaks to set him apart from his boss.
I would have ordered if I could have gotten some or all of the 6 Death Star Troopers I wanted from that wave - but they were no where to be found. That makes me wonder why. Why would the concept Fetts be left and no Luke Ceremony or Han Gunner Station? You'd figure the Luke and Han might pegwarm even if the others were army builders - but not a limited edition Fett.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – A 1906 handgun allegedly taken from a student at school last month remains in possession of the Alcorn County Sheriff's Department.
Chief Deputy David Derrick said the gun will be held at least until the case is disposed of by the youth court.
A Kossuth Elementary School student is accused of having a gun at school Dec. 18, 2012, said this week from the superintendent's office.
When notified, the teacher contacted the school office and administrators, who went to the room and removed the child in question and the child's belongings from the room.
The child then was taken to the school office and the sheriff's department called and provided information about a .22- caliber unloaded pistol. No ammunition for the gun was found on the child or in the child's possession.
"The gun was actually inoperable, with a screw put in that wouldn't let you put a bullet in it," Derrick said, "but a gun is still a gun."
The accused child was expelled from the Alcorn County School District for possession of a gun on campus in compliance with Mississippi law, said Superintendent Gina Smith.
Smith went on a local radio talk show Thursday morning to respond to questions, especially concerns she'd heard about an alleged coverup of the incident.
"It happened the week after Sandy Hook (Connecticut shooting) and we wanted to protect the minor child and family, as well as not raise fears that would make our children and their families scared for them to come to school, and possibly prevent a copycat incident," Smith said. "At all times our children were safe and being protected."
Though the school district may proceed with its actions in accordance with school policy, the law requires that the case must still go through youth court, Derrick said.

Pow slashes to backside fives.
Setting the standard in tweak-where-you-want-it, power-where-you-need-it performance, the Rome 390 Snowboard Binding rips apart steep chutes, freshly frosted tree runs, gigantic park kickers, and jib lines with its versatile mid-flexing feel. The V-Rod baseplate is a rockered, minimal contact baseplate that maximizes the true flex of your board. Its UnderWrap.2 Heel Hoop extends underneath the binding's chassis, providing responsive heel-to-toe power for charging big lines, slashing fresh pow, and laying into aggressive carves. Additionally, this heel hoop features Channel Adjust, which can be adjusted to your individual boot size for a custom-tuned fit.
The 390 Asymmetric highback strikes an ideal balance between lateral flexibility and heelside power, allowing you to ride park and powder without swapping binding set-ups. Its Contour 2 ankle strap uses a low-profile, ergonomic 3D shape that comfortably conforms to your boot for a locked-in feel. Gripping the front of your boot, the OpenForm toe strap pulls your boot back into the binding's heelcup for enhanced heelside response. Both straps can be adjusted without tools, allowing you to dial-in your fit on the slopes.

"Empire of Stone" exhibit opens Oct. 13
Posted October 11, 2001; 06:18 p.m.
"Empire of Stone" will highlight The Art Museums fall exhibition schedule. Opening on Saturday, Oct. 13, the show will be on view in the special exhibition gallery through Jan. 20.
An innovative design by architect Craig Konyk places 48 of America's finest Roman sculptures in a dramatically illuminated gallery. This setting reveals subtle details of dress, ornament and modeling that bring to life the people, rulers and gods of ancient Rome.
The exhibition's debut coincides with the publication of a catalog of the museums Roman sculpture collection. J. Michael Padgett, associate curator of ancient art, edited the catalog and organized the exhibition.

Originally intended to be about twice as wide, my Gigapan Beta unit contracted the deadly Whirling Dervish/Spiral of Death disease upon completing column number 38. (Fear not, it's fixed now - a relatively low tech solution, I simply "unwound" the robot. Aaahh, the joys of Beta testing!)
Nonetheless, the resulting image is a compelling look at the Weber Sandstone which is folded into an anticline (south limb visible in the gigapan) that is cleaved by the downcutting Green River. Hogbacks of the yellow and red Park City Formation lap onto the south side of the Weber like waves breaking on a beach. The red siltstones of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation form a strike valley at the right of the image - to the west this strike valley is known as the Racetrack as it wraps around the nose of the plunging Split Mountain Anticline.

Yeah, it looks like comments are potent things in the new Explore Score system. With the new comment and snapshot the Explore Score shot up to 55. Kewl!
I'm surprised this gigapan didn't rank higher with the new Explore Scores. (I was hoping it would.) The new Explore Scores seem to weigh comments heavily. So let's do a little experiment. Its Explore Score was 22 before I added this comment and a snapshot this evening. Let's see if that changes...

I've been fairly busy lately. Actually having a little time
to code outside of work now that I've laid off that blasted
Playstation 2 game, Dark Cloud. I've signed up for an
account on sourceforge in hopes that I'll actually have time
and the motivation to do something. Whenever I do get
around to posting some projects up there, I'll link to them
from here. On that note, is there some way to link your
advogato diary and ratings to sourceforge somehow? That
would be cool.
My biggest projects right now are making encap packages of my most often used programs. See their official page for details. I also have a checkbook balancing type program I'm working on, because quite frankly, none of them do everything I want. Its going to be SQL based, because that seems like the easiest way to get it to do what I want. Initially, I'll do a web based version because I don't know any GUI toolkits, and just want something quick & easy. It being SQL, if I do the database right, I won't have to redo the database for the gui version.

What made you enter the psychiatric field, and why do you particularly focus on late-life mental health issues?
As a teenager growing up in India, I was fascinated by Freud's books regarding interpretation of dreams and everyday errors of life. I felt that these books were similar to detective stories and murder mysteries—except that they sought to uncover secrets of the mind. I decided to go to medical school in order to become a psychiatrist—which was considered, to put it mildly, "a very unusual choice" by others. My goal was to study the science of the mind.
My interest in aging began much later and was driven by the fact that the population of the world is aging. The number of people over 65 in the U.S. will double in the next two decades. I also found on reading the relevant literature that the numbers of older people with mental illness will rise even faster than those in the general population. Therefore, this seemed like an exciting area for new studies.
What are the particular challenges of late-life mental health?
The challenges include deteriorating physical health, neurocognitive impairment associated with aging, financial and psychosocial stressors—and importantly, the stigma of aging. Older people with mental illness have to fight the dual stigma of aging and mental illness. They don't have resources to advocate for themselves, and as a result, they constitute one of the most disenfranchised groups in society. Also, there is far less research on older people than on younger adults. The tendency is to transfer findings in younger adults to older ones; yet, this is inappropriate because of various psychobiosocial differences between the two groups as well as increasing heterogeneity with aging.
You have done extensive research on late-life psychosis and its treatment. What are the particular challenges in this area and how is it different from other psychosis (early-onset or other)?
Late-life psychosis includes late-onset psychosis as well as persistence (or recurrence) of psychosis that first manifested earlier in life. The amount of published research on psychosis in late life is miniscule compared to that in younger people. Whereas schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are the two most important causes of psychosis earlier in life, the etiology becomes more complex and varied in later life. For example, psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is more or less restricted to older adults. The number of people with psychosis associated with dementia is comparable to the number of people with schizophrenia across all age groups.
There is an interesting gender difference between early-onset and late-onset schizophrenia. Whereas males with schizophrenia markedly outnumber their female counterparts until about 30 years of age, the gender proportions reverse after age 45, possibly hinting at a role of hormones such as estrogens in late-onset schizophrenia.
You are a widely recognized expert in the field of geriatric mental illness and received a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Grant. What did the NARSAD Grant enable you to do?
My younger colleague Elizabeth Twamley, Ph.D., and I initiated a study of work on rehabilitation in middle-aged and older adults with schizophrenia. The conventional wisdom is that persons with schizophrenia, especially the older ones, would be incapable of gainful employment. Yet, we found that, with appropriate support and guidance, many middle-aged and older people with schizophrenia not only could be employed, but they stayed on the jobs, and had an improvement in their functioning as well as quality of life. The critical element in making this possible was societal support.
Please highlight the discovery you have made that you are most proud of and tell us why.
In recent years, I have been working on successful psychosocial aging. I have found that, even in people with serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, the functioning improves with age. People who have suffered from a mental illness for decades learn from their experience slowly but surely. Many of them develop insight, begin to differentiate psychopathology (delusions, hallucinations) from normal experience, become more adherent to their treatment in order to avoid relapses, stop using substances of abuse and become happier. While some of this may be due to survivor cohort effect (i.e., the sickest individuals die young and do not live into older age), that is not the whole story. We have been following people with schizophrenia for the past 25 years, and have commonly noticed progressive improvement of this type. Whether one may call it recovery or sustained remission, the improvement with aging is often remarkable. With better treatments and greater social support, this should become a norm.
What is the most important question you would like to answer about the aging brain and late-life mental health?
While most people associate aging with degeneration, deterioration, disability, disease, and then death, I am fascinated by psychoneuroplasticity of aging. Aging is often associated with increasing wisdom through better social decision making. The most important questions for me relate to the underlying neurobiology and the behavioral and environmental factors that promote the neuroplasticity of aging.
What else would you like to say about late-life mental health?
Older people (with or without mental illness) are an invaluable resource for the society in terms of their wealth of experience and wisdom. It is unfortunate that they are usually considered a drain on the society. The more we learn about regeneration of an aging brain and about how to promote and use the resulting wisdom, the better the society will be.

In 25 minutes, you can offer guests a refreshing sour cream dip for fruit.
Instead of the apricot preserves, why not try peach or strawberry?
Dress up the fruit plate with sprigs of fresh cilantro. If you like, add some kiwifruit slices, watermelon or fresh pineapple to the platter. Serve the fruit with frilly
toothpicks or cock-tail forks.
Crystallized, or candied, ginger has been cooked in a sugar syrup, then coated with coarse sugar. It adds a wonderful peppery-sweet flavor to the dip in this recipe.

The scope of our ranking is relatively simple (no weight is given to long-term development, and as little emphasis as possible was placed on team context), but there is nonetheless a daunting complication inherent to the exercise itself. Put simply: While we made a considered effort to somehow compare an incredible assortment of NBA talent, there's little grounds to suggest that players can be assigned any kind of absolute basketball value.
It's simply important to note that a player's worth shifts dramatically with his surroundings, and with that comes an unavoidable imbalance to any and every comparative ranking of this kind.
Eric Gordon, New Orleans Pelicans (G, 24)
2012-13 stats: 30.1 MPG, 17.0 PPG, 3.3 APG, 40.2 FG%, 32.4 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 15.4 PER, 1.1 Win Shares, +0.2 RAPM
Though once tabbed as a potential All-Star, Gordon has since gone about acquiring an assortment of red flags. He's now two seasons removed from high-level basketball, having struggled to stay on the court (Gordon played in just 47 percent of his teams' games over the last three seasons) and stumbled through his playing time on it. His inefficiency, in particular, was alarming; of the 41 players who attempted as many field goal attempts per game as Gordon did last season, only four posted a lower effective field goal percentage. That he posted the worst turnover rate of his career didn't exactly help matters, nor did the lesser defense he played as a result of his diminished lateral movement. If Gordon were better on the court, his injury history and problematic relationship with the Hornets/Pelicans could be overlooked (to some degree) for the sake of basketball returns. Gordon can get back to playing at that high level, surely, but for the moment is reliable only in his unreliability. — RM
65. Tyreke Evans, New Orleans Hornets (G/F, 23)
2012-13 stats: 31.0 MPG, 15.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.4 SPG, 47.8 FG%, 33.8 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 18.1 PER, 4.4 Win Shares, -0.2 RAPM
Figuring out how to best use Evans can be a chore, but his instincts and physicality translate to some impressive individual production. In theory, he could fill a variety of roles: an oversized point guard, a slashing wing, a one-man juggernaut off the bench, a supporting ball-handler or even a post-up facilitator. But the Kings never quite figured out how to strike the appropriate balance around Evans. That task now belongs to the Pelicans, who gave him a four-year, $44 million deal in a sign-and-trade with Sacramento. Whether New Orleans can provide the right fit for Evans remains to be seen, but its far more intriguing roster could make better use of the enigmatic guard's flexibility. Regardless, Evans doesn't have a great feel for running an offense and has a long way to go as a defender and shooter. He produces despite those limitations, but they do complicate matters when constructing lineups around his rare talents. — RM
57. Ryan Anderson, New Orleans Hornets (F, 25)
2012-13 stats: 30.9 MPG, 16.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 42.3 FG%, 38.2 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 18.1 PER, 6.5 Win Shares, +0.4 RAPM
What Anderson supplies is unique even in a league keen on stretchy bigs, as his shooting range has now been tested against volume (only Stephen Curry attempted more three-pointers than Anderson last season) and context (having moved out from Dwight Howard's shadow in Orlando to a much stranger offense in New Orleans). He's a singularly prolific and accurate shooter for his position, a distinction which holds corresponding benefit. The threat of Anderson's shooting draws an opposing big man out of the lane, clearing room for drives or post-up sequences. Such a matchup advantage isn't without its remedies (many opponents have assigned smaller defenders to Anderson to good effect), but his very presence on the floor forces compromise in the game plan and rotation of the Pelicans' opponents. — RM
We don't need to fix tanking, because tanking is not a problem. The Bucks are not victims of the rebuilding style du jour because the Bucks know how the system works and choose their path in spite of it. But we ought to encourage teams like the Bucks, Hawks and Nuggets, who attempt to give their fans an entertaining, competitive product while looking for long-term solutions.
probably at 2, i would imagine. approaching GOAT level, for sure.
Omissions of Pretty Good Players
48. Jrue Holiday, New Orleans Pelicans (G, 23)
2012-13 stats: 37.5 MPG, 17.7 PPG, 8.0 APG, 4.2 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 43.1 FG%, 36.8 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 16.7 PER, 3.3 Win Shares, +0.7 RAPM
The Sixers' decision to trade Holiday to the Pelicans for No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel and a future first-round pick on draft night prompted an immediate and sharp debate. Supporters liked the idea of scooping up a slipping Noel, hording assets and tanking for the 2014 draft. Detractors wondered why a team building for the future would want to part with a 23-year-old All-Star, two-way point guard who just completed a career year, has no off-court red flags and is locked into an affordable rookie extension (four years, $43 million) until 2017.
The debate really boils down to differing takes on Holiday's ceiling: Is he a future No. 1 guy for a winning team or is he "merely" a top-10-caliber point guard who will be consistently above average, but not quite elite? Philadelphia needed the former but New Orleans seems content with the latter, as the Pelicans will belong fully to Anthony Davis soon enough. Holiday's durability, ability to create for himself and others, leadership intangibles and desire to work defensively will all be welcome in New Orleans. – B.G.
41. Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans (F/C, 20)
2012-13 stats: 28.8 MPG, 13.5 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 1.8 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 51.6 FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 21.7 PER, 6.1 Win Shares, +0.8 RAPM
The No. 1 pick in 2012 had a superb rookie season, but he didn't enjoy the full hype treatment because of New Orleans' poor season, a series of minor injuries and the shadow cast by Damian Lillard's award-winning campaign. The offseason is a good time for "take a step back" appraisals and Davis, a top high school recruit and a dominant force during his one year at Kentucky, is a perfect candidate for such an evaluation.
Davis, 20, won an Olympic gold medal and averaged 16.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.5 steals per 36 minutes while placing in the top 10 among power forwards and centers in PER and block percentage as a teenager. He can play at least two (if not three) positions, he's already an excellent finisher around the hoop despite a slender frame that is filling out, and he spent the summer working on adding a mid-range jumper to his arsenal. By the way, if you forget about him for a few seconds, he's liable to snatch the ball out of the air, dribble coast-to-coast and finish with a dunk for good measure.
If every NBA player were thrown into a draft, Davis would be selected in the top 10, at the very least, given his potential for perennial All-Star play on both sides of the ball and his drama-free, strictly basketball approach. Excited yet? — B.G.
I guess AR will make the list tomorrow, and the Nigerian Assassin will be in Friday's top 10
1. Which player ranked from 30 to 100 has the best chance of significantly outperforming his ranking?
Ben Golliver: Anthony Davis (No. 41). The Pelicans' 20-year-old big man hits a number of key criteria to leap ahead of current reasonable expectations: He's young, he's already productive, his playing time should increase, his team should be better than it was last year and there are no obvious impediments to his growth. Even though I think our ranking showed him a significant amount of respect, given that he has played fewer than 1,900 NBA minutes, there's a reasonable chance that Davis is a sexy pick among number crunchers for the 2014 All-Star team. A spot in the top 25, maybe even the top 20, heading into the 2014-15 season is also within reach.
How quickly the Pelicans can get into the playoff mix will help determine when Davis starts to receive national recognition, but it doesn't take a lot of digging to realize that he's on the fast track.
Consider this: Davis posted a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 21.7 and a Win Shares of 6.1 during his age-19 season (yes, it should be noted that he missed almost a quarter of the season with various injuries). Basketball-Reference's database indicates that no one else has ever done that at age 19. When you start relaxing the standards — lowering the PER and Win Shares thresholds — the names that come up are a who's who list of perennial All-Stars and future Hall of Famers: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh. If you relax the age standard to determinewhich rookies have posted his PER/Win Shares combination, that list of 17 players includes Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal and David Robinson.
That heady company suggests that Davis is primed to enjoy a leap — a major one — soon. Will it be this season? Will it be next season? We all eagerly wait for that answer.
3. Which player ranked from 30 to 100 is the most volatile? In other words, which player has the highest ceiling above his ranking while also possessing serious crash-and-burn potential?
Mahoney: Tyreke Evans (No. 65). There are a number of good candidates to pick from beyond Bynum (who rather easily takes the lead on this question), but I'm inclined to examine the full range of possibilities for Evans. Despite career averages of 18 points, five assists, and 4.9 rebounds per 36 minutes, Evans has never registered a positive on-court impact by way of regularized adjusted plus-minus, and only once (in four years) improved his team's overall performance in his on/off splits. For all of his evident talent, there's just limited data to support the notion that what Evans does on the floor actually turns out to be a positive for his team.
His style of play more or less confirms the premise; Evans can be a bit of a ball hog even at his most productive, employs a fairly blunt driving style, doesn't cut consistently enough when not in control and isn't a good perimeter defender. Evans puts up some impressive numbers, but former Kings coaches Paul Westphal and Keith Smart were never able to find the optimal balance in his role and abilities.
I'm optimistic that Monty Williams might have better luck figuring out Evans in New Orleans, largely because Davis, Jrue Holiday, Ryan Anderson, and Eric Gordon form a well-rounded support staff. If all clicks into place, it's entirely possible that Evans could be underrated here. Few players are capable of contributing across the board as he does, and a fresh start with a new team could go a long way toward unlocking his potential. But our ranking could also wind up as a rosy projection for such a peculiar player — a talent that remains unsolved after various roles in four seasons.

Crush cookies for an easy crust, then fill with a sultry blend of ice cream, nuts, and ready-made chocolate topping.
We've called for dulce de leche (caramel) ice cream in this recipe, but you can use any caramel-flavored ice cream.
To speed up cooling of the crust, we placed it in the refrigerator until completely cooled. You can choose to cool at room temperature; allow 45 to 60 minutes.
If your fudge topping is too thick, microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds to soften it. If it gets too warm, let it cool for a minute or two.

How does a TV show about a band of humans battling for survival against the zombie apocalypse come to be regarded as family fare and break records in the US for the most-viewed cable television drama?
The Walking Dead's Season 3 showrunner, Glen Mazzara, thinks the wide popularity of the series - it's shown in 122 countries - has a lot to do with its appeal to the audience's most basic and primeval instincts.
"In our show we have reduced society to the smallest unit - the individual, the family, the tribe," Mazzara tells AAP from Los Angeles.
"So people buy into it - every life is precious, everybody can contribute - and I think the audience puts themselves in the shoes of the characters."
This appeal to the "everyman" provides some interesting moral questions for the show's audience, Mazzara says.
"Would you shoot this guy and feed him to the zombies so you could get away? Would you do it so that your wife could get away?
"You know that's an interesting dilemma, and I think people are excited about that."
At the helm of the show since the departure of its creator, Frank Darabont, Mazzara says it has its challenges, especially keeping the storyline plausible.
"People when they watch our show are on the edge of their seat because it feels believable," he says.
"So I try not to let the mythology get too complicated, I try not to let the backstory get too complicated, I try to pose very simple real-time puzzles or problems for our characters."
Although The Walking Dead is based on a comic book series that has been enormously popular in its own right, the TV show has departed from its source material in a number of ways.
Mazzara says it's all been done with the blessing of the comic book writer Robert Kirkman.
"We get to pick and choose what we like, what we use, we never change the story just for the sake of changing it," he says.
"We are trying to lay out the best told story ahead of us and we feel it's our job to make sure we're staying true to the spirit of the graphic novel, not necessarily letter-for-letter."
One of the departures from the comic book series is the inclusion of Daryl Dixon, a crossbow-wielding redneck whose prickly, laconic character belies his inner loyalty to the misfit band of survivors he's joined.
Actor Norman Reedus originally read for the part of Merle Dixon but that part was given to Michael Rooker.
Reedus, recently in Australia to promote the return of Season 3, says he was puzzled when Darabont got him to come in and read again.
"I was thinking maybe Michael Rooker couldn't do it, I didn't know what was going on," he says.
"About an hour after I left there I got a call saying that Frank Darabont wrote a new part."
Reedus says he has a lot in common with his character.
"We're both socially awkward, we wear our hearts on our sleeves, we're both loyal, we both sort of let someone else speak first and sort of suss 'em out, we mean what we say."
The Walking Dead has followed a band of characters on their journey of survival, with central characters suffering and often dying along the way.
The mid-season finale saw one group directly at odds with another and while there are few hints about what to expect for the upcoming shows, Mazzara says it'll continue to keep the fast pace audiences have come to expect.
"I see it as the coming battle between these different groups and people are going to have to decide where they are and where their alliances lie," he says.
Reedus says there is a lot of action ahead.
"There's a lot of people stepping on each other's toes and a lot of who do you trust, starting to distrust the person you trusted next to you, and there's a full-blown war happening."

text: Getting a new pup here in a few weeks and am wanting to run the HRC hunt tests. I've been reading up on the rules and have a good idea...well, good enough to get me started anyway...about how the tests are ran and such. But I was wondering if someone can give me a play by play kind of idea how an entire hunt test weekend goes. By that I mean what do you do when your dog isn't running, does your dog run both days or just one, do most people camp or what, etc.? I'm just trying to get an idea of what the hunt tests are like. From what I've seen, it sure looks like a great time for both people and dogs.

One of our favorite people stories is about a guy named Toni. On our first day of riding in Greece, Toni was driving in the opposite direction as we were passing through a little village on our way to Kalavryta. Upon seeing us, he stopped his car, rolled down his window and shouted "WHERE YOU FROM?!". So we stopped to chat, and Toni, a long, gray-haired, bearded man straight out of the Haight Ashbury in the 60s, proceeded to tell us what seemed to be his entire life story in the span of 20 minutes. After hearing what seemed to be far too much to fit into this man's lifetime, we were skeptical when he told us to go find this little restaurant/hotel in Zahlorou to stay the night in. We had already gone as far as my legs wanted to go, it was getting late, we were still 20 - 30 km from Kalavryta, and Zahlorou would be another 10km past that. Hmmm, do we trust this complete stranger and go all the way to Zahlorou? Well, he is a gemologist (supposedly) and gave us each a little pebble of "asbestite" to bring us a good luck, so he certainly has a heart, and certainly had a good aura about him

Hello All - I am new to this board and this is my first post.
I am considering entering my 13 Month old lab into a JH Hunt Test in 2 weeks.
I have never even attended one of these and had a few questions.
Do you think its a bad idea to enter my dog the first time I ever come to an event or should I come watch one before entering? Are they open for people to come "Watch"?
How long does it usually run if it Starts at 8AM? Do I stay the whole time or until my run is over or either one?
Will other dogs be close by distracting the running dogs or are they separated?
Also- How do "Drops" work on the JH Portion... Lets say my dogs gets the bird, comes out of the water, shakes, drops it accidently, picks it up and returns to heal and delivers to hand... is that a pass or fail?
Suppose he drops the bird while running back out of excitement, picks it up and retrieves to hand?
Thank you for all the help... this is very new to me.

In the late 1980s, Tupelo faced a potentially growth-stopping problem. The underground aquifer from which its water supply came was depleted, threatening future industrial and residential growth.
The city developed a plan for an alternative water supply – from the Tombigbee River via an 18-mile pipeline. Tupelo didn't have the revenues to pay for such a huge project, so it asked the Legislature to authorize a 1-cent sales tax levy in the city.
Lawmakers balked, and eventually after a regional authority was formed, a referendum on a quarter-cent sales tax was authorized. It passed with 96 percent of the vote, but it took two legislative sessions to make it happen.
That episode stands as a prime example of why communities need the option of levying special sales taxes when their futures literally depend on it. But the Legislature has always jealously guarded its prerogative to approve every local levy before it allows the voters to do so.
This middle-man approach should be changed.
Legislation to allow cities to levy their own sales taxes has been rejected annually since the 1980s. The Legislature occasionally allows local options, usually for tourism-related purposes such as Tupelo's hotel and restaurant sales tax.
But what's wrong with giving cities the authority to make the case before their voters for a local sales tax without coming hat-in-hand to the Legislature? Local government, after all, is government closest to the people.
This year, the Mississippi Municipal League has gotten some traction in the House on a bill that would allow cities to decide for themselves whether to levy a 1-cent sales tax for specific projects. The tax would require 60 percent voter approval and would end when the project was paid for.
Even in this era of tax aversion, if a good case can be made for a local project and its tangible benefits are clear, most citizens will hear it out and in many cases support it. A clear example is Tupelo's Major Thoroughfare program with its 10-mill tax that in 2011 was approved for another five years with 83 percent of the vote.
Local citizens should be able to decide whether they want to raise their own taxes for local needs without having to ask the Legislature for permission.

This painting was first exhibited at Documenta IV in Kassel in 1968, where it was entitled simply Untitled (diptych) and dated 1967. In 1974, just after the Australian National Gallery bought the picture, the artist changed the title to Untitled (vertical flanking diptych — red), and the date to 1966-74, thus identifying the painting with a series of works. The basic format of this series was well established in Baer's work by 1966. Each painting, or panel if the work was composite, was articulated by three colours: an expansive white central area (from 1967 grey was also used), a black band of uniform thickness placed at the outer edge of the canvas, and a thin line of colour either stripped in between the black border and the lighter centre as in the Gallery's work, or running through the black band. Also in 1966 Baer began to make diptych and triptych groupings of this format, arranging the diptychs in various configurations: laid horizontally and 'stacked' on the wall one above the other, or hung vertically flanking each other.
This serial experimentation within a limited format was typical of Minimalist painting during the 1960s and Baer was a vocal advocate of such painting. The September 1967 issue of Artforum carried a letter from Baer defending painting against the criticism levelled by Robert Morris (b. 1931) and Donald Judd (b. 1928), at what they regarded as painting's inherent and incorrigible illusionism. In reply Baer asserted the primacy of painting as a radical art form, arguing that its qualities of objectness' could be as non-referential and specific on a flat plane as 'objects' made in three dimensions.1 Nevertheless, in a number of paintings made towards the end of 1967 and in 1968 Baer felt the need to accentuate the object status of her paintings and began to thicken her stretchers and continue the painted surface around the sides. This is the moment of the Gallery's painting, the sides of which are 7.4 cm (27/8".) thick and painted white, running around onto the front surface of the canvas in a thin white line.

Closure Requirements
To attain a Master's degree, the student must complete a closure exercise appropriate to the chosen area of concentration. Candidates must successfully complete twelve hours of core requirements (HIS 501, HIS 503, and HIS 510) before enrolling in credit hours toward the closure requirement (HIS 560, HIS 570, or HIS 580).
The thesis (HIS 580) is a formal written presentation of historical research based on primary sources. The project (HIS 570) derives from an internship served with an historical agency or other entity. The position paper and historiography (HIS 560) is a thorough written examination and evaluation of the essential secondary sources devoted to a specifically defined topic.
The position paper and historiography option is offered in the recognition that primary research facilities in European and World History topics are difficult to access. The student is encouraged to master the research and analysis undertaken by professional historians in these areas.
In each case, the student will defend the completed exercise before a committee comprised of at least three faculty members (two from the History Department, one from another Academic Program).
Grading Policy
Students must earn a grade of B or better in all courses counting toward the master's degree. History graduate students may repeat program courses for grade improvement only once. Students may also repeat a thesis or project defense only once.
Graduate Credit in 400-Level Courses
If a course has an ECCE designation, M.A. students need permission from the instructor to register and are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor about the suitability of the course. Graduate students enrolled in 400-level courses are expected to perform at a higher level than undergraduates and to complete extra work as defined by the instructor. Examples of such work include reading and reporting on material above and beyond that required of undergraduate students, completing an annotated bibliography in the professional literature of the field, or meeting separately with the instructor to research a specified topic.
