OScon so far
Sunday morning, in the wee hours of the morning, while packing, I discovered that I didn't know where either my DL or my Passport is. After spending an hour searching, I gave up, and decided to throw myself on the mercy of the TSA. Which I did at the airport. The TSA supervisor checked my credit cards, FlyClear card, corporate ID card, and CostCo card, and then stamped my boarding pass. I only need to do this 3 more times on this trip, and then do a very deep search of my room when I get back.
After I landed at SJC, I discovered that Tim Lord has shared the flight with me. If I had known that ahead of time, I would have let him share my taxi ride from Capitol Hill neighborhood to the SEA airport. As it was, I let him share my ride to San Jose Convention Center. I was actually too early to check into my hotel room. So instead I checked in my luggage, and then went off to find the Postgres Day.
Meeting up with open source community geeks, watching lightning talks, hacking, taking pictures.
I accidentally left my jacket in one of the meeting rooms, and ended up having to bid for it in an auction. So now I owe $20 to the Postgres Foundation. :)
Monday, I spent hacking and geek socializing, hanging out in the speaker room. Some of the tutorials, but I didn't end up going to any of them. Lunch was at the Good Karma cafe, which I had stumbled across the last time I was in San Jose.
Also on Monday, I hooked up MontyT with someone who may have a solution for automating the build of Drizzle on Windows machines, without manually maintaining Visual Studio Project files, or porting Autotools to Windows.
Tuesday, I went to the Gearman tutorial, and while in it, started working on http://forge.gearman.org/ and also started implementing a bunch of basic "plumbing" gearman workers that need to exist, to link together filesystem, mogilfs, couchdb, amazon web services, memcached, and Erlang.
Right now, I'm sitting in the Ignite talks. BrianA just won an Google O'Reilly Open Source Award.
Review: Erlang books
The fine folks at O'Reilly sent me reviewer copy of two books on Erlang

Daily Randoms. Car getting ready for Burning Man, book Harald, book Makers, and sites that dont use
I'm sitting in a Starbucks in Kirkland, while my car gets its 60K service, plus Burning Man prep, plus getting a trailer hitch installed (also for Burning Man). It's going to take all day. Fortunately, this Starbucks isn't too noisy, has good wi-fi, and the seats are comfy.
David Friedman's novel Harald just came out as a free ebook. I love how the Baen Free Library has "send to my kindle" as a pushbutton option.
Also, I've been reading Cory Doctorow's Makers, serialized over on Tor Books blog here. I've never really gotten drawn in into any of Cory's previous novels (stalled out on both Down and Out and Little Brother), but this one is working for me.
I'm annoyed that neither Last.fm or Pandora do Portable Contacts / Google Contacts / Facebook Connect / etc for "find your friends". It's only a very very mild annoyance, since I don't actually use Last.fm much, but it sent me an email today, which reminded me that I had an account there. But if you care to link up to me there, I'm at http://www.last.fm/user/PegasusFallen and on Pandora at http://www.pandora.com/people/me22893
A related annoyance is that MySpace's "find my friends" still uses the "3rd party password" anti-pattern when pulling from Google Contacts, instead of using PoCo. IMO, Google and Yahoo should start blacklisting the IPs of the sites that still do that, just to kick them over to using PoCo, and stop teaching people that it's okay to give every site that asks for it their webmail password.
Speaking of which, I showed a friend of mine today that webmail is not as apparently anonymous as some people think. All the big webmail services insert a Received header that contains the IP address of the browser the email was sent from.
I am amused and glad to see that free public performances of the "Taming the Shrew" are being performed in Fremont, using the Troll as an ersatz stage.
I was sad to learn that Circus Contraption is closing up shop.
Why am I awake at 3 in the morning? The IM roster mocks me, as I look for someone to chat with. Away statuses are not to be trusted.
Amazon MP3 is a dangerous thing to have a few clicks away, to someone of a completionist bent. As I buy music from them, I mentally add features to the site that would encourage me to buy more. I wonder if I can make this skill generic. And would I want to? Thinking I might have a skill at commerce web site design with an eye towards optimizing it for increasing sales is a challenge to my identity...
Why are most online performances of electric string marred with an electronic percussion beat? The metronome is a teaching aid, not an instrument.
I've not posted much, recently. Not tech, nor personal musics, or even my journal. My life continues, likely to again become more public.
I just activated my eTrade RSA token. I now have 3 of the things to keep track of. That one, a Verisign PIP device that secures my paypal and ebay accounts, and a "Secure Computing Safeword(tm) Platinum" that secures the Sun VPN. They all basically do the same thing, generating a One Time Password based on a clock and a (presumably securely stored) key. Of the 3 designs, I approve the most of the PIP. It's exceptionally cheap to manufacture, the math of the resync trick allows it to not require a super-accurate local clock, and is very light. The Safeword is the worst, being big and heavy, and provably broken.
I went to Sierra's party on Saturday night. She was so anxious that it would turn out poorly or poorly attended. And yet it went great, and many interesting people came. I got more than a little overstimulated, and spent some time just sitting in the corner contemplating the flowery fractal artwork that she had painted on her ceiling.
Some of the people I know write the most amazingly introspective and philosophical articles. Finding a series of such articles is a joy, and will eat hours of time.

Arsène Wenger insists that Robin van Persie is too professional to be unsettled by speculation over his future.
The Arsenal captain's contract expires in the summer of 2013 and he has already confirmed that he will hold contract negotiations with the Club at the end of this season.
The media debate over Van Persie's future has gone on for a while but Wenger does not believe it affects the Dutchman.
"At our level we are professional people," said Wenger.
"I believe if you are to have one quality it is not to be unsettled because what is said of you by other clubs is part of the job. What is important is how much you want to win the next game and all the rest is basically not important.
"I cannot stop that [others talking about Van Persie]. In an ideal world maybe, but it doesn't bother me too much.
"Robin is the leader of our club and I would just like to specify that he is not at the end of his contract. He is under contract until 2013. So do your job, focus on your job which he does very well and enjoy your games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: So here's the deal, a friend set me up with a friend of hers in March. All she told me was that he broke up with his gf a little while ago and she thought we would hit it off. Well we did . It was just casual dating. He's very mature (a change for me!) and we took things very slowly. Then I got a text from him saying he's not ready for a new relationship so quickly and that he gets nervous and worries too much. I'm kinda confused about that part. He wants to keep a distance and not rush anything. So I'm giving him space. Then, after all of this, I found out from my friend that she thinks he broke up with his ex of 2 years in February when we met in March. No wonder he's not ready! My question is: Is he pretty much letting me down easy or does he need time to think about things? I appreciate everyone's advice!

PDF (166 KB)Footnote * | Market Reports
Tokyo, Japan
As one of the largest economies in the world, Japan is a large, lucrative and trend-setting import market. The country is a significant energy importer and the world's largest net importer of food. Home to 71 Fortune 500 corporations, Japan has manufacturing, exporting and trading companies that are at the heart of supply and value chains that reach across Asia and around the world. Japan is also considered one of the world's most innovative nations on the strength of its massive investment in scientific research and tremendous success in the commercialization of new discoveries. Long recognized as a global leader in design, applied technology and advanced manufacturing, it is a cutting-edge player in energy conservation and environmental technology, digital electronics and nanotechnology, hybrid automobiles, specialty steel, machinery and robotics. Japan, however, is still a complex and protected market that demands great patience and persistence. A number of market barriers remain in place, most notably in agri-food and forestry products.
Commercial Relations
- Canada's merchandise trade with Japan was close to $20.7 billion in 2009, comprising close to $8.3 billion in exports and nearly $12.4 billion in imports.
- More than 3,000 Canadian firms export to Japan each year.
- Over 100 Canadian firms have established a direct presence in Japan. In 2009, Canadian direct investment in Japan stood at $3.6 billion.
- Japan is Canada's eighth largest foreign investor. With foreign direct investment holdings of $13.1 billion in 2009, some 550 Japanese affiliates were active in Canada, creating tens of thousands of Canadian jobs in the automotive, aerospace, energy and mining sectors.
Market Opportunities
The Government of Canada has identified Japan as a Global Commerce Strategy (GCS) priority market—based on extensive consultation with government, academic and Canadian business and industry representatives—and has developed a comprehensive Market Plan that identifies the following sectors as offering clear market opportunities well suited to Canadian capabilities and interests in the region:
- Advanced Materials: The market offers opportunities for advanced marterials, particularly in terms of their use by the energy and environment sectors, such as photovoltaic cells and batteries, and in cross-cutting enabling technologies in manufacturing, bio-industries/health and information, and communications technologies.
- Agriculture, Food and Beverages: Japan is Canada's second largest export market for agri-food, with significant exports of canola seeds, meat of swine, cereals, and soybeans. Opportunities are also present in the confectionary, processed food and beverage, and health ingredients/functional foods/nutraceuticals sub-sectors.
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT): The market offers opportunities in three sub-sectors: wireless (broadband, 3G/4G communication networks, mobile devices and applications); digital media (gaming, digital contents); and software (such as productivity enhancing business and IT security software).
- Aerospace and Defence: As one of the top 3 international defense markets for Canadians, Japan offers strong potential as a strategic partner in aeronautics/space and other defence sub-sectors. A continued shift in Japan from military to civilian aerospace commercial activity together with global developments associated with Japan's aircraft programs also present opportunities in the aviation and MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) sub-sectors.
- Environmental Industries: Highly advanced in this area, Japan offers long-term value chain partnership possibilities in such areas as renewable and alternative energy (including nuclear power and clean, energy-efficient building products). Opportunities also exist for smart grid technology, hydrogen fuel cell technology, and lithium ion battery manufacturing in the automotive sector.

Roshal and Zwade were married at Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica on December 8. "I was born and raised in Jamaica and always dreamed of getting married in my home country," Roshal said. "When we visited [the resort], we knew it was the place. The scenery was quintessentially Caribbean with the palm trees in the foreground, and the clear blue ocean in the distance." The ceremony took place under a pavilion, where the bride wore an a-line wedding gown with a lace illusion back and the groom wore a tan suit, accessorized with Burberry socks! "I loved that we wrote our own vows," she said. "We were both nervous about it, but were so glad we ultimately made the decision." The reception tent was decorated with luscious blue and green arrangements, rhinestone napkin rings, candles, and decorative branches dangling with crystals. Their favorite moment? The first dance. "We had put in the practice, and were ready to show off our new moves," Roshal said. "But somehow in the moment, we forgot everything. I still remember when we looked at each other and realized we were going to wing it. It was so funny, we had to try so hard not to laugh as we improvised our way through."

This is a genuine good tip
Ya there are some locals there who run the power plant and the fish hatchery who would like everyboby to believe this bay and the Speel River estuary are closed to hunting. BUT they are full of crap and the GAME and FISH will back you up if you hunt there.
I lived there and killed many many ducks and geese plus a few black bears and yes you might even get a chance to whack a wolf or wolverine while sitting in your duck blind on the speel (oh the local sob's will hate me for giving that info out but don't be fooled this is public land and you can hunt right below the houses on the flats!! Ya no crap there
Go Kill some birds
respond to this if you want more details,.
And yes - I know the area and have a beef with some of them locals there and will give you some good hunting info on Snett flats and speel river flats for both birds and bears and oh ya I'll also tell you where the local spring K. crap spot is if you want some of those to...
Good hunting

May I suggest a pick-of-the-week podcast that captures the difficult aspects of creativity and research that may help students of your craft understand the 90% perspiration part of your work. A download link of, http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2011/05/byers_on_the_bl.html , also describes the hour-long podcast as follows:
"William Byers of Canada's Concordia University and author of The Blind Spot talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the nature of knowledge, science and mathematics. Byers argues that there is an inherent uncertainty about science and our knowledge that is frequently ignored. Byers contrasts a science of wonder with a science of certainty. He suggests that our knowledge of the physical world will always be incomplete because of the imperfection of models and human modes of thought relative to the complexity of the physical world. The conversation also looks at the implications of these ideas for teaching science and social science."

Good day to the TWIV Nation:
I'm giving a shout out to Dr. Welkin Johnson from TWIV 168. He got us listening for a "Viruses, Genes, and Evolution" course at Boston College. The lectures on Virology 101 have been extremely helpful and refreshing. I got excited to hear he was a guest this past week. Be sure to keep him coming back so his students can eventually make him his own auto-tuned remix of his comments on TWIV and get it going "viral" on YouTube.
I was thinking about the vector immunoprophylaxis results by Baltimore's lab at CalTech and see them as very exciting (see reference below). Yet, provided these results may yield a future vaccine, it seems likely to me that the final product would only be administered to people in close contact with HIV-infected individuals and not everyone--perhaps those that are traveling or working with patients of HIV such as nurses or paramedics?
Furthermore, with HIV as the target, many new vaccines would be in development for other target surface proteins year after year. The difficulty surely lies in developing various vaccines that elicit specific immune responses effective against the many mutating strains particular to areas of the world. Is this feasible or is it worth investigating yet another mode of inhibition? Whatever the case, it's a stride all the more.
I do have a technical question about VIP. With the addition of the gene to a cell's nucleus via the adeno-associated virus, does the gene randomly insert itself in the host genome or is it only a functional gene for that particular cell? My thinking is that with cell division, that gene would be lost or could randomly insert in the genome and trigger complications? All the help and wisdom any of you could impart would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I had a few comments as I listened to this episode. You discussed Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN) technology [TWiV 144, probably], and I thought TWIV listeners would love this study:
Luigi Naldini's lab used an integrase defective lentiviral vector to express a ZFN and to provide the template DNA used for gene correction. So, they used a virus to provide both the scissors and the patch. This gives highly efficient gene transfer while the integrase deficiency allows transient episomal delivery from a lentivirus, at least in principle.
As a stem cell guy, I listened with interest to the portion of the show that discussed pluripotent stem cells. Alan rightfully pointed out that some people dispute whether pluripotent stem cells can make every cell type. For human cells, this is impossible to ethically prove since we cannot make chimeric humans. But for mouse, it has been shown that entire mice can be made from embryonic stem cells (or induced pluripotent stem cells) using a technique called tetraploid complementation.
The way this works is that a two-celled embryo is zapped with electricity to fuse both cells together. So your two diploid cells are now one tetraploid cell. This tetraploid cell continues to divide after the fusion and is competent to develop to the blastocyst stage, creating functional extraembryonic tissue. When combined with embryonic stem or induced pluripotent stem cells, the tetraploid cells provide the extraembryonic tissue but will rarely contribute to the embryo itself. Using this assay, it has been shown by many groups that mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse induced pluripotent stem cells can give rise to a mouse that is composed almost entirely from these stem cells.
It should be noted that it is almost impossible to prove that 100% of the cells are from the stem cells. And there is data to suggest that not every single cell is derived from the stem cells. But I'd say that, at least where we can do the experiment, there is pretty strong evidence that embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are capable of making nearly every cell in the body.
Our being able to recreate all of those cell types in a dish is another issue entirely. But this experiment, I believe, demonstrates that the potential exists. Our current challenge is to understand the developmental biology required to get to each cell type. We attempt to translate how different pathways are activated and silenced over the course of time from model organisms to a human developmental timeframe. One such success just happened next door to my lab: Lorenz Studer's group has recently demonstrated the derivation of transplantable midbrain dopamine neurons from human pluripotent stem cells:

Dear Jed-Vri masters,
First I wanted to thank you for the yeoman's effort all of you put into making a great podcast. I subscribe to over a dozen podcasts, and over the past year or so TWIV has become one of my favorite. As a self described "science geek" I can say that the show you produce is truly one of the best science podcasts that can be found. I am a computer consultant by trade, but I have a decent background in biology and a soft spot in my heart for microbes and virii of all kind (which would probably sound strange to most people, but I think you all feel the same way). I have learned quite a bit listening to you on a weekly basis for the past year, so my thanks to each of you.
You may have covered this recent development in the XMRV world already, (I must confess I am a few weeks behind on my podcasts), but if not I thought this might be a good opportunity for you to address what seems like the nail in the coffin (for now) of the the XMRV to CFS Link.
I'm sure you have seen this: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2011/12/authors-pull-the-plug-on-second.html
It appears that the much disputed evidence for the link between XMRV and CFS may have all but disappeared at this point. As a somewhat educated layperson on this subject thanks to your outstanding podcast discussions on this topic, I am left with a few questions at this point:
1) What, if anything, went wrong in the vetting process for the papers that were published in support of the XMRV/CFS link? Obviously the reviewers can't be expected to reproduce every experiment, but were there warning flags that should have kept these papers from being published in the first place or is this just the sometimes messy process of scientific inquiry sorting itself out pretty much according to plan, or a bit of both?
2) Did any of the individuals involved act inappropriately during this process, either scientifically or ethically? For example, did Harvey Alter just misspeak at the Croatia conference in 2010 or should he have been much more circumspect with his declarations given the evidence he had at the time? (of course hindsight is 20/20, which is why I caveat it with the "at the time")
3) My sense is that much of the furor over this XMRV to CFS link may have been due to scientists who were well intentioned but over eager to publish results that in hindsight (and perhaps even in forward-sight) should not have been published or at a minimum that they should have been much more cautious with their public declarations. Additionally, this combined with a small but (understandably) fervid group of CFS sufferers who latched onto what seemed like a promising explanation and pushed for a premature acceptance of this causal link in the public sphere.
I'd be very interested in hearing everyone's take on this subject. Thanks again for the great work, I know I'm not alone when I say how much I appreciate your efforts.

Dear Vince, Alan, and Rich,
I absolutely love your podcast and hope you never stop producing it. I count on the three of you to keep me up to speed on some of the most interesting virus research being published and look forward to downloading the podcast every Sunday evening. I also really appreciate the fact that you continued producing TWiV through the holiday break. I wanted to bring a paper to your attention that you might consider covering on TWiV. It just came out in the journal PLoS Pathogens and I thought it was really creative. Basically the group engineers a Dengue virus to be targeted by microRNAs that exist only in macrophages and dendritic cells. While the virus replicates normally in other cells, it is completely blocked wherever this specific microRNA is present. They then use that virus to infect mice and demonstrate that, without the availability of replication in macrophages and dendritic cells, the virus cannot spread in the animal. I found this strategy a really unique way to study the function of particular cell types in response to infection.
Keep up the good work,
If you're interested in the paper, it can be found here:

About Samuel Adams Cinder Bock
Smoky and rich this brew begins with a rush of smoky, almost savory, aromas and flavors. The distinctive campfire smokiness of a rauchbier lingers and begins to reveal the rich and velvety malt smoothness of a double bock with notes of toffee and caramel. This roguish brew transforms from its bold start to a hearty and satisfying finish. We call this a Rauch Bock.

Notebook with Integral-sign
Hello out there!
I'm writing a Mathematica-notebook for educational use.
So there is something to say about the formulas that we use in the
notebook. For that it was fine to have some special characters like the
integral-sign or the summation-sign. I saw something like this in an
existing convolution notebook (package), but it was in postscript, so
it=B4s to difficult to modify it bit by bit for other uses. The question
is, how is the easiest way to integrate such signs in a notebook? Are
there any tools or advices which can help me ?
Thank you in advance

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by mikhail1973, Jul 6, 2010.
Red Wing have been working on resigning their free agents. Miller is the latest to sign for $650K.
the splash!iest rumor is mike modano to red wings for um...1 mil or so... a career finishing move.
There's also a rumor of Modano heading to Blackhawks
Modano is a great checking line center at this point in his career.
As long as he'll agree to pay for little money and play on the 3rd or 4th line.
Here're some news by our favorite beat writer: Mike Modano says only team he'll play for is Wings | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Wings resign Eaves to a one year $750K deal.
Brett Lebda signs with Toronto 2 yrs worth $2.9 mil. Wings would not pay him that kind of money, but other teams pounce on the players that spent time in Detroit organization. Lebda didn't manage to earn a permanent spot on the team while given ample opportunities.
Wings resign Derek Meech to 1 year $500K deal. He is expected to be traded.
Other teams seem to learn from the Wings the way around the salary cap when signing players. Devils just signed Kovalchuk to the 17-year $102 million deal. Kovalchuk will earn $6 million each of the next two seasons, $11.5 million for the following five seasons, $10.5 million in the 2017-18 season, $8.5 million for the 2018-19 season, $6.5 million in 2019-20, $3.5 million in 2020-21, $750,000 the following season, and $550,000 for the final five years of the unprecedented deal.
The Devils went much further overboard than the Wings. It looks like the league is going to kill the proposed deal: Sources: NHL rejects Ilya Kovalchuk deal with New Jersey Devils - ESPN New York
I was confused about why it is circumventing the cap until I read that part. Now I understand. So the salary cap hit for NHL contracts is determined by the average salary per year? Why don't more teams do this?
I've never seen a "lifetime" contract before. Years ago, It was speculated that Magic Johnson almost signed a 25 year deal for 25 million....That woulda been a steal.
Mike Modano will sign with the Red Wings | freep.com | Detroit Free Press this headline say all. official announcement later.
Helm signs on for 2 years and now Wings are searching for the #6 defenseman.
they have found him: http://twitter.com/drosennhl/statuses/20722077477
More details: Veteran defenseman Ruslan Salei signs with Red Wings | freep.com | Detroit Free Press Andreas Lilja is the odd man out.
Lilja was gone regardless. Salei played for Babcock in Anaheim.
As a "checking line center" you mean "clock eater", "rest giver", "mucker", "nonscoring" center. Possibly a good "assist" guy. Is he better than Drapes ? - PS, Wings resign Nick Lid. I guess they don't think he's dead yet.
Separate names with a comma.

AMES, Iowa – People are living longer, but not necessarily living healthier, and that is something a group of Iowa State University professors wants to change. They hope to accomplish that goal by using video games to promote fitness and encouraging older adults to get active.
With the help of ISU Extension and Outreach, the research team has piloted the "Living well through Intergenerational Fitness and Exercise" (or LIFE) program in several Iowa communities. The program is aimed at reaching older adults in rural areas who are isolated or do not have access to a gym.
"Our program is really focused on whole-person wellness. We want to include that socialization aspect with the physical activity," said Jennifer Margrett, an associate professor of human development and family studies and director of the gerontology program. "By socializing and doing interactive games, older adults are also exercising their brains, building relationships, and so it helps in more than one way."
Based on success of the pilot program, researchers have launched a new website so that the program can be implemented anywhere. The most successful partnerships match student trainers with a group of older adults.

The 2012 Aston Martin Vantage looks gorgeous, and the new versions with V-8 engines, Coupe and Roadster, put the marque in a price range affordable to a greater portion of the 1 percent. But a few good reasons exist not to buy one. First, everyone and his brother, not to mention sisters, aunts, nephews, and third cousins, will make some reference to James Bond at the mere mention of the car.
Second, the specter of Lucas, the British company famous for faulty parts, inhabits the electronics. The parking brake, despite its classic-looking lever, is electronically actuated, and proved troublesome to release. The radio display occasionally got stuck in phone mode, and the only way to force it to switch to the audio interface was to plug an iPod or USB into the car.
However, those issues make little difference when gazing upon the tight, roadster body with its classic proportions, or when listening to the rough growl of the 4.7-liter engine when the revs climb. Pushing the button labeled Sport and pointing the stiff-bodied Vantage into a turn, feeling its tail happily slide out, will emphasize the view out the windshield, sidelining any concern over tuning in a satellite radio station.
The new Vantage incorporates Aston Martin design quirks, such as the row of buttons on the dashboard that serves as a drive selector. In the midst of these buttons sits the slot for the crystal ignition fob. Drivers will also need to get used the counter-rotating speedometer and tachometer. Much of what puts the V8 Vantage Roadster's price well over $100,000 is the coachwork, which favors leather and metal instead of plastic.
V-12 engines power most of Aston Martin's models, but the company downsized the engine for the V8 Vantage to make it more affordable. This new 4.7-liter V-8 engine, with its massive intake manifold, looks powerful, but is not all that special. Its output of 420 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque comes in under that of the latest V-8 Ford Mustangs.
Despite the power, the V8 Vantage hits 60 mph in a very respectable 4.7 seconds. And it does it with a thrilling exhaust note, a throaty growl that rises and falls with the gear shifts. The naturally aspirated engine delivers its power easily, and the Sport button makes the accelerator even more responsive. Fuel economy, 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, is about average for an engine of this size.
But those gear shifts are a problem. CNET's car came with Aston Martin's new single-clutch automated manual transmission, and it is only good at high revs on a track. On public roads in full automatic mode, steady acceleration led to big power dips during gear changes. The car literally slowed enough at each change to throw my head forward.
Using the paddle shifters to row through the transmission's seven gears did not help, either. Asking for a gear change up or down lead to similar dips as the transmission took its time to engage the next gear, disengaging the engine from the wheels. In traffic, this behavior could be particularly frustrating, as I occasionally needed power for a lane change or merge right when the transmission was changing gears. These power dips were not as much in evidence when I could keep the revs up, racing the car through a set of turns.
However, I'm not counting the transmission as a reason not to buy the V8 Vantage Roadster simply because it is only an option. The six-speed manual base transmission will make the car much more drivable in everyday circumstances.

Thanksgiving 2002. I don't know why I felt compelled to do it, maybe an insecure need to prove I actually did catch that bass on a fly rod. Although in reality it proves nothing; it could have been a stage prop for all you know. (It wasn't, piss off.)
A recent post by Bows and Browns reminded me of my personal evolution in fish-related point and shoot.
I have a large catalogue of hero shots that will likely sit unviewed for generations until my offspring's progeny discover them in a hidden box and discard them after the estate sale.
For a while I wanted to document everything. I bought a sleek and compact Elph and thought that Eastman Kodak really hit on something big there, only to throw it in a drawer after purchasing my first digital and taking advantage of all 3.8 megapixels.
Taking one or two pictures per season increased to one or two a trip, then ballooned into memory cards filled with images of me and my friends and sometimes total strangers hoisting bodies. I filled three albums with pictures depicting some variation of the fish across the midsection, a montage of bad lighting and autofocus.
The last pages of the last album remain unfilled. If anthropologists look only at these and not my hard drive, they'll hypothesize I quit fishing or died in 2006.
The digital cam is still a bad habit–the waterproof version is point and shoot oxycontin–but the fish burned into silicon always seem diminished. But the ones that exist only in the hippocampus somehow get meaner in recollect.

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has had a successful mentoring experience. I will be graduating soon and was wondering if it was worth looking for a mentor to help guide me or if the support system at the school I will be working at be enough. So any experiences whether good or bad would be appreciated. Please provide information on both yourself and the mentor as well as what different aspects the mentor helped you with. For example did they help you with difficult situations or was it really just to get information about the system and how it works. Thanks.

Guys I really hope this question hasn't been beat to dead. I searched and couldn't find anything.
I own a P226 9mm that I'm hoping to someday be allowed to carry here in IL. My GF however is not interested in carrying but she is willing to carry pepper spray. I've done some reading and from what I understand some are a whole lot better than others. I've seen some of these sprays come out in a fine mist and that just doesn't seem like a good idea on a windy day as it could blow back in you face.
I'm looking for something that comes out in a stream with a decent range and preferably with a dying agent. Any of you guys or ladies have a favorite?

Gator Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader Over LSU
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Freshman right-hander Logan Shore (Coon Rapids, Minn.) (2-1) carried a shutout into the eighth inning as Florida (18-9/5-3 SEC) completed a doubleheader sweep of No. 4 LSU (20-7-1/3-4-1 SEC) with a 6-2 win on Saturday night at McKethan Stadium. The Gators had claimed a 2-1 victory in the opener on a two-out homer in the ninth inning by junior Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.).
UF used a pair of three-run outbursts in the fifth and sixth inning to boost its winning streak to three games, all over top-5 opponents (No. 1 Florida State and two against No. 4 LSU). With the Gators up 3-0, junior Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) increased the margin to six runs with a towering three-run homer in the sixth. By taking both ends of the double-dip today, the Orange and Blue notched its first series victory over the Tigers since 2011. Shore (8.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R) was within one out of a complete game before junior Bobby Poyner (Wellington, Fla.) recorded the game's final out to collect his second save.
Aided by a pair of errors with the bases loaded, the Gators broke through for three runs in the fifth inning against freshman left-hander Jared Poche' (5-2) to seize a 3-0 advantage. Gushue drew a leadoff walk and was sacrificed over by junior Braden Mattson (San Antonio, Texas). After Shafer was walked intentionally, freshman John Sternagel (Rockledge, Fla.) singled through the left side to fill the sacks. A grounder by freshman Peter Alonso (Tampa, Fla.) was mishandled by freshman second baseman Kramer Robertson, allowing Gushue to score, and a throwing error on the play enabled Shafer to come home. Freshman Ryan Larson (Orlando, Fla.) extended Florida's lead to three runs with a sacrifice fly.
The following inning, Gushue blasted a three-run homer into the last row of the left-field bleachers to increase UF's advantage to 6-0. Sophomore Richie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) drew a leadoff walk, took second on a wild pitch and moved to third on a bunt single by sophomore Harrison Bader (Bronxville, N.Y.). Gushue connected on his team-leading third homer to end the night for Poche' (5.0 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K).
Junior Conner Hale (2-for-4) ended a stretch of 14 consecutive batters retired by Shore with a leadoff single in the eighth inning and the Tigers used back-to-back RBI grounders by senior Christian Ibarra and Robertson to finalize the 6-2 margin.
Postgame Quotes
Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan
On righty starter Eric Hanhold's performance in game one:
"I thought Eric was really, really good; he settled in well. I really thought he located; this is the best he's located all year and he did a heck of a job. I mean, he matched (LSU's starter pitcher Aaron) Nola pitch-for-pitch and obviously, he's one of the best in the country. We kept it close there until the end and (Justin) Shafer was the hero (walk-off home run to win the game); he ran into one there in the bottom of the ninth inning. (I'm) really proud of how we battled in the first game against one of the best pitchers in the country."
On how the Gators approached the game against LSU's Aaron Nola:
"Well, he throws strikes and if you start guessing against a guy like Nola, you're going to be in trouble. The bottom line is that we tried to stay on his fastball, obviously he'll throw it 70% of the time; it's a good one. But, if you start thinking about his breaking ball and his changeup, then it's going to be a long night. He locates and throws to both sides of the plate and the ball's got heavy sink and you look up at the end of the year and he'll go in the top-10, 15 picks in the (MLB) Draft. It takes a special effort on the mound to hold LSU down because if you give up three or four (runs), the chance of winning against a guy like Nola aren't very good."
On the team's performance in the second game to clinch the series:
"He (Florida's starter Logan Shore) did a nice job; he was throwing his breaking ball on the inner half to righties and throwing his fastball away so he was expanding the plate on both sides. He's throwing the ball really well and we're just fortunate to where we have a couple of guys on and (Taylor) Gushue ran into a ball."
"I thought Casey's (Turgeon) at-bats all day were good and I thought Richie (Martin) had a really good day at the plate. (Harrison) Bader, (Taylor) Gushue and (John) Sternagel saw the ball well. I was really pleased. We pitched really well all day long, we played great defense - we didn't make an error all day long, which is really hard to do in 18 innings. But, that's what you have to do against a team like LSU; you just can't make mistakes. Overall, if you stay focused and you execute and have a chance to take two, then it's a heck of a day."
Junior outfielder Justin Shafer
On hitting a game-winning home run against Aaron Nola to end the first game:
"It was great. Obviously, (Aaron) Nola is a great pitcher so for any team to score any runs on him has been a struggle all year. We just tried to put good swings on the ball and grind out some runs."
On preparing for the Gators' first doubleheader of the season:
"That's what we do in the fall with Coach Paul (Chandler). All of the running and lifting and the grind that we put in there is what gets our bodies ready for days like this because you never know when it might happen."
On the pitching performance in today's games:
"(Logan) Shore and (Eric) Hanhold were both really good, got ahead and threw all of their pitches for strikes during both games. We couldn't have asked for anything more out of the starting pitchers today. We are just playing with confidence right now. The pitching has been keeping us in it for so long, and now we are starting to swing the bats a little bit better. Hopefully, we can keep helping them out more."
Freshman right-hander Logan Shore
On today's effort by the Gators:
"(Eric) Hanhold went out there and pitched really well so we had momentum going into the second game. My arm was feeling good and I just went out there and competed and came out on top. You just get into a rhythm and the team puts up runs and everyone is hitting the ball at somebody."
Sophomore right-hander Eric Hanhold
On throwing against LSU's Aaron Nola in today's opener:
"My focus was to locate the ball and keep us in the game. I didn't want to give up a lot of runs and I knew I had to come strong today."
On the performance of the Gators' bullpen:
"We challenge each other all the time. There's a lot of talk going on in the bullpen, but we keep it friendly. We just come out here and try and compete."
On Justin Shafer's home run:
"That was huge. To come off that and start game two right after, it was a big momentum shift."
Junior catcher Taylor Gushue
On getting two wins today:
"It feels good to get two wins today and it's given us a lot of confidence. It's going to be a great game tomorrow too."
On the pitching today:
"I feel like we matched them every single pitch. Their pitchers did a great job. Our pitchers kept the ball down and did a really good job of attacking the (strike) zone. They were just amazing tonight. These two wins are all on them because we really wouldn't be where we are right now without them."
On his home run tonight:
"That was the first no-doubter I've hit here. I enjoyed it, and I was excited. It was nice."

Although greyhounds are incredibly fast, they are actually low-energy dogs and lack endurance, requiring less exercise time than most dogs. For this reason, they're often referred to as "45-mile-per-hour couch potatoes" because when not chasing smaller prey (such as rabbits and cats), they are content to spend their days sleeping. Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds of dogs, appearing in art and literature throughout history. In ancient Egypt, greyhounds were often mummified and buried with their owners, and hieroglyphics from 4000 B.C.E. show a dog closely resembling the modern greyhound. In Greek and Roman mythology, greyhounds were often depicted with gods and goddesses. Greyhounds appeared in the writings of Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, and they are the only type of dog mentioned in the Bible. They've long been appreciated for their intelligence, graceful form, athleticism, and loyalty. During the early 1920s, modern greyhound racing was introduced into the United States. Smaller and lighter than show greyhounds, track greyhounds are selectively bred and usually stand between 25- 29 inches tall and weigh 60 70 pounds. These dogs instinctively chase anything that moves quickly (as they are sighthounds, not bloodhounds), hence the lure--the mechanical hare they chase around the track. Greyhound racing is still a very popular spectator sport in the United States and, like horse racing, is enjoyed as a form of parimutuel gambling. Greyhound racing is very controversial as the dogs experience little human contact and spend most of their non-racing time in crates. Once greyhounds are too old to race (somewhere between three and five years of age), many are euthanized, though there are now many rescue programs that find homes for retired racers. Because greyhounds are naturally docile and even-tempered, most adjust well to adoption and make wonderful pets. The cover image is from Cassell's Natural History.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly High Performance Web Sites:
This has helped me a lot with my sites. I had a very slow load time with my sites and i wonder how to make them faster as i a beginner. And this book has served me a lot. Also the book is a bit small with less pages so you can start experimenting your website very sooner. The book has given me a new dimension to optimization of websites. http://www.instagramforpcs.com/http://www.googleplaystoredownload.com/
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Highly Informative Reference
By Luke
from Richmond, VA
About Me Designer, Sys Admin
This book was worth the quick read. There are only about 125 pages total, so you don't have to spend weeks getting to the "good stuff". Everything is listed in the order of priority/most beneficial. I find myself constantly coming back to reference this book when I have questions about what I can do to make a site work better. Everything is straight to the point with no extra fluff between the pages. For the price I don't think there are many books worth what this one provides in terms of content and return of investment. If you are building websites you understand that speed directly impacts both the user experience and inevitably the amount of money you make off of a site the site is selling a product. Every developer should have this book in their collection.

It's very difficult to find any fluff at all
By Edmonton Linux Users Group
from Edmonton
At just over 125 pages, this book is short and definitely sweet.The subtitle is, "Essential Knowledge for Frontend Engineers." As the book front says, there are 14 Steps to Faster-LoadingWebsites that are covered. It's very difficult to find any fluff at all.The techniques are covered in priority order, those that produce the bestresults first. Not all techniques will apply to all websites, but manywill. Also, many well known sites are compared for how well theyimplement (or not) these techniques. Each technique is backed by enough background to let youunderstand why they work, and URLs are provided to allow you to experienceand test the concepts without having to do too much work. I particularly enjoyed the author's note, on several occasions,that a lot of things were either difficult or impossible with InternetExplorer. Even though it remains the most popular browser, one has to askwhy? But I'll get off my soapbox. I found this to be an excellent book. I'm able to apply what I'velearned to a variety of websites I have access to or tinker with, and I'mnot a webmaster.http://elug.ca/reviews/high_performance_web_sites.shtml

Bang (and Performance) for your Buck
By joshSVUG
If you are looking to speedup your website _ start here.This easy read covers 14 front-end performance tips. Not all may be applicable. Any tips implemented resulting in improving your user's experience, be it a high-traffic website or a corporate intranet, is worth the cost of the book.
Excellent, Concise Guide
By Justin Pease
One of the most noticeable and least expensive improvements you can make to increase the speed of your website is to implement these front-end techniques.It is true that, the 14 principles can be found in the description of the book, or with the excellent YSlow tool delivered by Yahoo! Developer Network.So why should you buy the book??The book explains "why" these 14 principles are best, and it does so in a concise format.If you currently work professionally with the front-end side of a website (or would like to someday) this book should be considered a required read. At less than US$30, it is an inexpensive and practical investment into your on-going education.Don't settle with just knowing "how" to make your site faster, get the book and learn "why" these steps make your site faster. You'll be a better and more valuable developer for it.

Just do a Google search
By Anonymous
I was very pleased with this book, having spent many hours trying to find this sort of information in an understandable and comprehensive format on the web. The book is everything I'd hoped it would be, and my website now runs much faster as a result.However, after buying the book (and paying for shipping to NZ, which is around the same cost as the book itself) I was not that thrilled to suddenly find "articles" popping up all over the internet basically quoting the entire book verbatim. Save your hard-earned cash and just google it.

A Great Resource!
By Jen B.
This book is extremely well organized and easy to read. It is code-oriented; server and database tuning are not addressed though some general ideas are discussed in passing.Narrative explanations are combined with real world examples and code samples to illustrate each of the fourteen "rules" for tuning a web site. He clearly explains the pros and cons of each option, and why some techniques are better than others. He provides a primary recommendation but also discusses other options at length. This book is scalable to help developers of small-business web sites up to enterprise e-commerce sites.Many of the "rules" are not necessarily a surprise to anyone with much web development experience. However the speed comparison charts and illustrations are extremely helpful, and many helpful "gold nuggets" of information are also sprinkled throughout.After a full read, this book is now on my shelf within easy reach so that I can refer to the invaluable tips and code samples. I highly recommend that any serious web developer add this book to their bookshelf!
Well organized tips and tricks on web site performance
By jdruin
This book is an excellent guide for web developers looking to write optimized HTML. The book is organized into 14 categories of performance enhancements with a chapter decicated to each category. There is also a chapter on techniques in use by top websites, a chapter on HTTP as it applies to performace, and a chapter on the "Golden Rule" of web page preformance (Most time is not spend downloading the main page). With each of the performance category chapters is a break down of the tips and tricks that allow browsers to load, fetch and/or render pages faster. Some rules (such as using a content delivery network) would apply to large or enterprize sites but the majority of the hints can be used on any web page down to the smallest home page. The book is well organized and easy to use. The font and page size are good for reading while sitting at a computer. The reference section which gives links to examples for each tip in the book is outstanding. It is broken down by chapter, then by tip within chapters.The presentation is form the point of view of performance so there was material on how the browser works internally as well as explanations of external browser behavior. Overall, this is a very nice guide of web site performance ideas.

The latest on Greinke
The Blue Jays have contacted the Royals about a trade for right-hander Zack Greinke, and the Royals are intrigued by what the Jays might offer, according to major league sources.
Here's the problem: The Jays are on Greinke's no-trade list, meaning he can't be sent to Toronto without his permission.
That fact alone doesn't preclude a trade. Players frequently waive no-trade clauses, usually in exchange for some kind of contractual benefit.
Greinke, sources say, has told the Royals he's willing "to go anywhere."
Other clubs, however, are skeptical of that stance.
"The rule of thumb is that if a player has a team on his no-trade list, it makes it less likely," one rival general manager says.
Greinke, 27, has 15 teams on his no-trade list. The Rangers, Braves and Reds are among the clubs with possible interest in him that aren't on the list, sources say. Those teams would face no such obstacle in trading for the Royals ace.
The Jays possibly could land Greinke if they were willing to part with right-hander Kyle Drabek, outfielder Travis Snyder and another minor leaguer or two, according to the Toronto Sun.
Such a package would intrigue the Royals, sources say. But the Jays might not be ready to break up their emerging core of young pitchers to take a run at the postseason, even if they could persuade Greinke to join their club.
Greinke's signed for two more years at $13.5 million per season. He'll become a free agent after the 2012 season.

Doctors with experience in neuromuscular disorders often find it easy to diagnose type 1 myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD1). Sometimes, just by looking at a person, asking a few questions and examining him or her, they're well on the way to suspecting MMD1. For instance, teenagers and adults with MMD1 (the most common type) usually have a characteristic long face with hollow temples, and males often have early balding. (See Signs and Symptoms.)
In type 2 myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD2), these facial features aren't as obvious (also see Signs and Symptoms).
Many people with MMD1 tell the doctor about recurring abdominal pain, constipation or obstetrical complications. Many also report that their parents had muscle problems.
Sometimes, an eye doctor will notice the particular kind of cataract found in MMD and suspect the disease, referring the patient to a neurologist. Cataracts are common in both MMD1 and MMD2, often occurring by middle age.
Many people may not realize they have any trouble relaxing their grip, while others say they've had trouble letting go of a shovel, screwdriver or some other device, especially in cold weather. These symptoms are present in both types of MMD.
The doctor may check for myotonia by lightly tapping the area just under the thumb with a rubber hammer. In most people, there is little or no response. In people with myotonia, there's a swift contraction of the muscle, which takes several seconds to relax.
The doctor may want to do electrical testing of the muscles and nerves, using an electromyogram, or EMG. In this exam, small needles are inserted into muscles to measure their electrical activity. Myotonia produces a characteristic sound, often described as the noise made by a dive-bombing airplane.
These days, a doctor who suspects MMD1 or MMD2 is likely to move from the history and physical exam to aDNA test (genetic test) to confirm a diagnosis. The DNA test involves only a blood sample and, in almost all cases, can determine whether the family is affected by MMD. For more on getting a definitive genetic diagnosis, see MDA Genetic Counseling Webinar Answers Key Questions and The Genie's Out of the Bottle: Genetic testing in the 21st century.

Very nice set of armor, I have a set of aluminum chest armor and been looking like crazy for the collar and shoulders. Do you think your friend can help me??
PM sent.
It is the rear cod-piece. It seems to be a rarity among armor sets. I've been trying to get one of those for my suit.Quote:

Did I hear METAL COLLAR!? How much?
Just wanted to let you guys know that I received the rest of my aluminum armor today. I finally have the complete set after months of patiance searching for the maker. Thanks to Shawnpayne for the contact. :)
I have to say that the Cod and Butt pieces are amazing as the rest of the armor. I think without a doubt that this is the most accurate aluminum armor out there. I will be posting pictures of my armor soon. :)
I have this same armor, minus the backplate. If anyone would like to take mine off my hands, PM me. I got tied up in another project and have to part with my aluminum armor. For pics, PM me or email me at email@example.com. I agree that this stuff is AMAZING! I love mine, I just have to catch up on another project before embarking on my Fett.
Hey Shawn, the armor looks great. Did you preped the armor prior painting in any way?? I had too clean the edges of mine because they where a bit rough and sanded the aluminum surface to make it smooth. I am thinking on sanding the surface further to a shine to take away the scratches, should I do this or leave it the way it is??
P.S. I would weather it a bit more with a mist of black and grey. :thumbsup
I used A metal file to smooth the edges.I would leave the scratches once it is weathered it looks pretty cool.I really don't want to weather mine any further.In differant lite you can rerally see the differant greens.It is A little hard to tell from the pics but black weathering actually runs into the yellow primer spots.I painted the armor minus the shoulder bells,Yellow first.Then the green,then the weathering.This way as the metal gets scratched down the road.It woill look like it belongs there.

Ravi Zacharias is President and Founder of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM). Their global outreach grew from humble roots in 1984 and includes fielding a team of itinerant speakers who operate from offices located around the world including the U.S., the UK, Romania, the Middle East, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada. The Hallmark of Ravis heart is his strong evangelistic and apologetic that manifests itself from a position of compassion.
Although written to refute two particular books, The End of Reason makes immense sense whether youve read those books or not. The world seeks to bury Christian beliefs beneath a pile of condescending, noxious trash. This book helps us find the way out and stand proudly as we witness for our Lord. Zacharias shows exactly how illogical this non-moral, non-reasoning atheistic worldview is, how it uses extremely selective facts, and exactly how we can keep from falling for it, remaining proud and steadfast in our Christian worldview.

In "The End of Reason" he presents an open letter to the American people in response to Sam Harris' poison-penned book, "Letter to a Christian Nation." Whereas Harris' sole intent was to destroy in proposing a world without God, Zacharias' desire is to rebuild and restore the validity and vitality of the Christian faith. This he does in biblical, philosophical, and scientific terms that rise above speculation and mere opinion. Although his arguments are heavy at times, he does not take us so deep into intellectual thought that the laymen is unable to understand what he has to say. The author's own rise to faith (Hinduism to Atheism to Christianity) well qualifies him to address the quest for the meaning to life. His own failed suicide attempt was used by the Lord to bring him to Christ. Therefore, he makes an impassioned plea for his readers to consider the hope to be found in his Savior as well. Zacharias argues that Harris and his fellow-atheists, in spite of their hollow shouting, will not win the day. Using Europe as a contemporary example, godless secularism even now is proving to be no match for another foe to biblical Christianity, the rise of radical Islam. Sounding eerily prophetic (this book was released in 2008), Zacharias writes, "In the end, America's choice will be between Islam and Jesus Christ. History will prove before long the truth of this contention." It is essential to remember that man has been created in the image of God and is, therefore, a moral being. The boisterous cries of modern atheism come from toothless lions. The more imminent threat to the Christian faith is already arising from a counterfeit religious system with a god who is the antithesis of the God of the Bible.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jun 28, 2013.
Siva is not a lock to make the squad.
Tony Mitchell is.
too much black and white on the court...like Im watching a newspaper!! Drummond nice tap-in...Middleton/English> KCP/Siva
Drummond's statline with a couple minutes left in the 3rd quarter is crazy: 7pts on 3-for-11 shooting, 1-for-5 FT, 12 reb, 4 stl, 6 blocks, 7 turnovers, 4 fouls He looks very winded out there. Conditioning does not look good. This was a problem last year, too, when he did get extended minutes. Siva made a couple nice passes to begin the half. KCP still struggling.
Coach Kidd/Frank are playing hack-a-Dre with 1 1/2 minutes left in a summer league game. Way to set that winning tone/culture for the Nets, you freakin' bozos!
Ha! Frank must be disgruntled. I bet he found out that Dre said negative things about him to JD.
Good all around effort by Drummond...12/16/ six blockss and 5 steals..............needs to spend the summer working on FT shooting. Pope was 1/10 ...probably took to many threes. He will get better...nervous I guess.......... Middletons offensive skills proved that he needs to be getting 10+ minutes and probably ahead of JJ. Slavo looked good as did Mitchell. I will need to go back and review the tape tonight for a real analysis.
Pistons won 76-67. Middleton, English, and Drummond were the key players in this win. TRG did some good things. Mitchell and KCP were pretty invisible in the 2nd half. Siva actually showed some flashes that could land him a spot on the roster. Corie Lucious is trying to show anyone that he deserves a shot on a roster. Singler's brother is a lot like Kyle except with no offense or defense.
First time Ive watched Drummond just to watch him play. This guy has Shawn Kemp gifts in a shaken up but not opened can of soda!!!! He does little dumb things that he will grow out of..like touching his opponent before going up on a rebound- dribbling in the paint- free throw confidence. When he grows up and matures , he will unleash his athletic gifts to the maximum. Right now, he nedds to learn the game. Who do we have as a coach that teaches him?? Is James Edwards available to teach him the fade or the McHale step? Other notes: - I love Kim English..even at Missouri. He is our Lindsay Hunter. More skilled than Aaron Afflalo. PLAY HIM - Mo Cheeks will make this a VERY GOOD defensive team in 2 years. Smith n Drummond will torture the paint . We need a good 2 guard with a veteran defensive presence to go with Knight. - The Ukraine kid needs a year of NBDL. He pump faked on a wide open left handed layin - Mitchell and Middleton can play in this league. - Siva is cool looking cucumber.,,,, must learn how to shoot outside. - Korie Luscious is a career NBDLer or European
Kidd got a TECHNICAL FOUL ..in a SUMMER LEAGUE game?? Who's more of the butthole-The ref or Kidd?? LMAO
Andre Drummond was a monster today but KCP didn't look too good shooting the rock. However, his atlethicism and defense was apparent. It's only the first game though so I'm not that worried yet. Once his head matches the speed of the game, he'll improve. Also, Silva looked really good. I think he has a chance of making the rotation. Not a great shooter but he's a great defender. He made some key stops/steals late in the game.
Drummond needs to sit. He's a man amongst boys in this Summer League. KCP.....SMH! I hope it's just nerves and rhythm. Tony Mitchell quietly showed everything including the ability to make a jumper if you stand out there and dare him to shoot. We're going to have problems at PG. Lucious looked better than Siva IMO. Siva ran the point like he's still in college with a 35 second shot clock. I can't see his game transfering to the NBA. Get Chauncey and/or Will Bynum on the phone ASAP! I like Middleton's game, with a ton of pressure on the Bigs this year he should have a solid year. The guy can play. I'm actually good with playing out this season without making anymore major moves. 1 step at a time, let's see what we got and see what we really need this summer. If we keep Monroe we'll have about $10-$12M to spend in free agency. If we let him walk because he's too expensive, we'll have about $20M+ to spend. Let's be patient with the plan and the money.
Box Score Pistons at Nets - July 7, 2013 - Game Preview, Play by Play, Scores and Recap on NBA.com
So, the guy we drafted and the guy that we could have drafted were a combined 2-22 shooting today? Rough start for both.
And MCW scored 26 while flirting with a triple double.......
Oladipo looked very confident. Really moves like Artest.
I can't believe Joe didn't even try to draft this guy. Complete and utter moron.
Exactly! Artest would have been a great Piston!
Well maybe he needs to add some glitter to those three "obvious stripes" he wore on his shirt. What an ego!
KCP has a beautiful shot. I love it. Not as absurd as Currys but Ill settle.
Separate names with a comma.

Santorum: My Fox News employment is great for my possible presidential run
Continuing in the [1] long [2] tradition [3] of prominent conservatives admitting that Fox News is just the house organ of the GOP, this morning former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum told [4] Fox host Neil Cavuto that Republicans are better-equipped to "fight" because they now "have Fox News" to "get a message out."
While Santorum's admission is noteworthy in its own right, it takes on added significance due to fact that Santorum -- along with at least four of his fellow Fox employees -- is mentioned among potential candidates for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
Clearly, one of the most important roles for Fox going forward will be to "fight" and "get the message out" for the eventual GOP presidential nominee. However, it remains to be seen how the network is going to handle its various employees using their network as a platform to position themselves for a presidential run.
And make no mistake, Santorum has been open about using his Fox platform to bolster a potential presidential run. In an interview [5] with National Review Online last month about his surely not-coincidental increased presence in Iowa, Santorum told NRO's Katelynd Mahoney that his role on Fox has "been big," and "helped folks remember who I am... It's a great platform, being able to talk about the current issues of the day."
As we documented [6], from the beginning of the year through September 18, the various Fox candidates spoke through Fox News in at least 269 appearances on the network. In September, Sarah Palin advised [6] then-candidate Christine O'Donnell to "speak to the American people. Speak through Fox News."
Last month, Fox contributor and fellow potential presidential candidate Mike Huckabee hosted former Fox News employee John Kasich to plug [7] the latter's then-candidacy for Ohio governor. During the interview Huckabee stressed to viewers the "importance" of Ohio in the "national political landscape," and noted that Obama "knows if he loses the governor's office in Ohio - which is ground zero - he's in deep trouble for 2012."
Fox News doesn't appear to be concerned that its employees are using network resources to position themselves for possible presidential runs. And it remains to be seen how the network will deal with its employees transitioning from theoretical candidates to actual candidates.
