To be fair i caught him with a cracking left uppercut to the throat. Im still laughing now
atemi waza imo.
nice one.
Good job! are you trying to get back up to level?
and do you still look like a gotti?
My aim dutchman is to get to 81kgs to look half decent on my wedding pictures. Judo is going to be my best way of doing that, and competitions will be the best way to keep me interested. My aim in judo is to cause some problems to the junior internationals possibly beat them (-20s) and to give a match to the senior internationals.
Do i look like a gotti? dont know what a gotti is ! but it sounds offensive enough for me to ask if you still look like a downs kid
LOL @ "i caught him with a cracking left uppercut to the throat. Im still laughing now"
That's Judo for you, I thought Kano had removed all the strikes until I started competing.
Congrats Chris, to have a long lay off, get back to competition and even medal is some going. Keep us updated on your progress and get some new batteries for your camera.

Anways good luck with the judo and the weight loss. Looking my self to get back into judo.

The most exciting news today is the publishing of the TOP500 list of the most powerful supercomputers. IBM again leads in the TOP500 with the most installed aggregate throughput, the most systems in the TOP10, TOP50 and TOP100. The fastest machine in Europe, the most energy-efficient system, the most energy-efficient x86 cluster. In fact, IBM had 18 of the 20 most energy-efficient systems.
It's no wonder that Oracle would publish a press release today that has nothing to do with the TOP500. Oracle has just published a press release touting an SAP Business Intelligence "world record" benchmark result.
Here's what you need to know:
Oracle has chosen an older simpler SAP BI benchmark rather than the more sophisticated SAP BI-MXL benchmark that IBM has published outstanding POWER7 results on. Oracle's new result is on a Fujitsu system. Oracle compares their brand new result with an IBM result from almost two years ago that had 8 times fewer cores and used older technology.(1)
Oh, and in the TOP500 today, IBM had the most systems with 198. HP had 185. Cray had 21. And Oracle/Sun. They had 12.
(1) SAP Business Intelligence-Data Mart (BI-D) standard application benchmark Throughput/hour (query navigation steps): 1,624,629 CPU utilization of central server: 94% (2 nodes active: 93% / 94%) Operating system, central server: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 RDBMS: Oracle Database 11g Configuration: 2 server (2 active nodes): Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX600 S5, 4 processors / 32 cores / 64 threads, Intel Xeon Processor X7560, 2.26 GHz, and Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX600 S5, 4 processors / 32 cores / 64 threads, Intel Xeon Processor X7560, 2.26 GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI. Certification number: 2010024 (2) The SAP BI-D standard application benchmark Throughput/hour: 182,112 query navigation steps CPU utilization of central system: 94% Operating system, Central server: i 6.1 RDBMS: DB2 for i 6.1 Configuration: Central server: IBM Power System 570, 4 processors / 8 cores / 16 threads, POWER6, 5 GHz.

Honey has the natural ability to attract and retain moisture and is an important factor in beauty products because of its ability to help skin maintain softness, suppleness and elasticity.
- Relax with a honey bath: Relax with a honey bath: Add 1/4 cup honey to your bath water for a fragrant, silky bath.
- Healthy hair: Keep your hair healthy with a hair shine: Stir 1 teaspoon of honey into 4 cups of warm water. (Add lemon if desired.) After shampooing, pour the honey mixture through hair. Do not rinse. Dry as normal.
- Hair conditioner: Mix 1/2 cup honey with 1/4 cup olive oil. (For normal to oily hair, use only 2 tablespoons oil.) Using a small amount at a time, work mixture through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap; leave on 30 minutes. Remove shower cap and shampoo well. Rinse. Dry as normal.
- Acne remedy: Honey helps clear up acne without drying your skin! Use soothing skin clarifier to help clear up minor acne: Mix 1/2 cup warm water with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a cotton ball, apply the mixture directly to the blemish. Maintain pressure with the cotton ball for several minutes. This softens the blemish. Then, using a cotton swab, dab honey on the blemish and leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
- Skin lotion: Keep your skin smooth with smoothing skin lotion. Mix 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub into hands, elbows, heels and anywhere that feels dry. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with water.
- Sunscreen: Protect your skin from sun damage by consuming honey and using smoothing skin lotion.
- Cleansing scrub: Make your own honey cleansing scrub. Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.
- Firming mask: Keep your skin looking young with the honey firming face mask. Whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon glycerin (available at drug and beauty stores) and enough flour to form a paste (approximately 1/4 cup). Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
- Facial toner: In blender, puree 1 tablespoon honey with a peeled, cored apple. Smooth over face; leave on 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
- Moisture mask: Mix 2 tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
- Reduce the liquid in a recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey you use.
- Replace sugar with honey: Simply substitute honey, cup for cup, in place of sugar. As a rule, reduce the liquid by 1/4 cup for every cup of honey used. In cookie recipes using eggs and no additional liquid, increase the flour by 2 tablespoons per cup of honey, or enough flour to give the desired consistency. Chill before shaping and baking.
- For every cup of honey used in a recipe, increase the baking soda by 1/2 teaspoon.
- Reduce the oven temperature by 25º to prevent over browning.
- Use honey when brewing for a great tasting beer.
- When baking cookies and scones, use honey to help reduce crumbling.
- For easy measuring, coat the measuring utensil with vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray before you measure the honey.
- To freeze sliced or crushed fruits for the winter, use 1 part strained honey to 4 or 5 parts fruit. For whole fruits, add 1 cup of water to every 2 cups of honey. Use just enough of the diluted honey to cover the fruit.
- Add honey to fresh fruit or fruit salads. Honey's acidic nature prevents fruit from turning brown. Use light-flavored honey so it doesn't mask the fruit flavor.
- Make your own honey butter spread. Beat together 1/2 cup margarine or butter and 1/3 cup of honey until smooth (about 3 or 4 minutes) and you have honey butter spread. Beelicious!
- To glaze meat, such as ham or turkey, turn the oven temperature to 225º and baste with honey every 10 to 15 minutes during the last hour of baking.
- Add honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, to foods that are too spicy or too salty, such as chili. Honey will tame down the spices while enhancing the flavor, and you won't notice the sweetness.
- Honey contains a wide array of vitamins, such as vitamin B-6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.
- Use honey as a topping on ice cream, pureed fruit or on meat.
- For a sweet, shiny glaze on your dessert, mix honey with melted butter and drizzle over angel food cake or pound cake.
- Need a topping for cupcakes or a carrot cake? Soften an 8-oz. package of cream cheese and mix with 1/4 cup of honey and a pinch of salt. Cream until smooth.
- Brush honey on warm baked goods for a sweet shiny glaze.
- Combine equal parts Dijon-style mustard and honey. Spread on sandwiches, use as a dip for vegetables and pretzels, or brush on grilled meat and sausages.
- Drizzle honey over pancakes or cornbread.
- Sweeten your barbecue sauce by adding 2 tablespoons honey into prepared sauce. Add more to suit your taste.
- Granulation does not affect the taste or purity of honey. Honey never spoils. It may be used granulated or restored to a liquid. To reliquefy honey place the open glass or can container (never plastic) in a pan of hot water until all crystals melt.
- When consumed daily, pure honey will reduce your body's susceptibility to infections.
- Because of honey's fructose content, many claim it is a cure for a hangover.
- Swallowing a teaspoon of honey may soothe a sore throat or cough.
- Boost your daily supply of antioxidants by eating honey.
- If you're feeling tired and need a boost of energy, stir a spoonful of honey into a glass of water or add honey and fresh fruit to yogurt for a power-packed snack!
- Honey is a great source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B-6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.
Energy Boost
Honey is a great source of energy. For a quick boost of energy:
- Stir a spoonful of honey into your morning juice or afternoon yogurt.
- Sweeten your coffee or tea with honey.
- Drizzle honey on your favorite cereal or look for honey-sweetened cereals in the grocery store.
- Make a peanut butter and honey sandwich.
- Dip apple slices and other fresh fruit in honey.
- Eat a spoonful of honey before your morning jog or exercise routine.
- To replenish energy and fluids, stir a spoonful of honey into a glass of water.
- Spread honey on toasted bread, bagels or English muffins.
- Make beeswax candles.
- You can make peanut butter playdough out of regular kitchen ingredients. Take 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1/2 cup honey and 2 cups nonfat dry milk. Mix together the peanut butter and honey first. Add half of the dry milk and mix; then continue to add a little at a time until it feels soft and playful! Use less than 2 cups of dry milk if the clay seems to be getting dry. And, YES, YOU CAN EAT IT!

The Exception That Tests the Rule
posted at 11:33 pm on January 20, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
For anyone who still denies either the rightness or existence of "American exceptionalism," consider this appalling story:
Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders sat in the defendant's dock Wednesday, nodding his head as prosecutors read aloud a hundred remarks he has made condemning Islam, Muslims and immigrants — notably one comparing the Quran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
Wilders' criminal trial for allegedly inciting hate against Muslims has resonance across Europe: He is one of a dozen right-wing politicians on the continent who are testing the limits of freedom of speech while voicing voters' concerns at the growth of Islam.
For the tendentious phrasing, "the growth of Islam," read the more accurate "the growth of Islamism." If Moslems were coming to the Netherlands and assimilating, as they do for the most part in the United States, I honestly doubt Geert Wilders would have such a problem with them. But because of the liberal socialism of Western Europe, a member of the Dutch parliament is now on trial for properly representing his own constituents.
Here is the philosophical sequence:
- Liberal socialism ("Stalinism lite") has infected Western Europe for many decades. (One could make a good argument that Otto Eduard Leopold prince von Bismarck, the "Iron Chancellor" of Prussia, invented it in the latter half of the nineteenth century.) Note, this is not liberal fascism; it's the internationalist version. Hence the European Union, the first step on the liberal-socialist (lib-soc) road to global government.
- A primary element of liberal socialism is atheism; lib-soc governments persecute Judeo-Christian religions and to a lesser extent frown upon all other religions: Their religion is "secular humanism" — that is, the First Church of Fundamentalist Materialism, as Robert Anton Wilson used to put it.
- A secondary effect of official and widespread Fundamentalist Materialism is a dramatic and frightening drop in the regional fertility rate. We can explore the "whys" in more depth another time if folks find the connection puzzling; suffice to say that Western Europe is not replacing its population, hence must import truly staggering levels of immigrant labor.
- Since Europe must draw from those cultures that have a high fertility rate for their foreign labor pool, they tend to draw disproportionately from Moslem populations in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Turkey, and Morocco. For example, in the Netherlands, six percent of the labor pool are Moslems from the latter two countries. (If the same ratio applied in the United States, we would have 9.25 million Moslem immigrants in the civilian labor pool, or about eight to ten times the level we actually have.)
- Another primary element of lib-soc is authoritarianism; socialist states are authoritatian by definition.
- One secondary effect of authoritarianism is that the government not only does not encourage immigrants to assimilate, it typically doesn't allow them to. Instead, immigrants are shunted into enclaves and ghettos and generally treated as "the help," rather than as full citizens… even those who were actually born in the "host" country. Generation after generation can be born in some European countries, but none is considered a full citizen.
- Such "apartness" leads inevitably to a great many immigrants seeing themselves as transients and foreigners in the land of their birth; they often turn against the "host" with a vengeance, rioting and looting, sealing off areas and declaring them "liberated" from the host and instead under the laws — or the imagined laws — of the rioters' ancestral countries. For the most obvious example, Moslem "immigrants" may seal off the Moslem enclaves and declare them under sharia law, instead of French, Dutch, or Spanish law. (The same dynamic of separation from the rest of society leads to criminal behavior among native-born full citizens.)
- Yet another aspect of authoritarianism is that, for all their high-minded hectoring of the rest of the world, socialist countries do not actually protect freedom of speech. (This claim should not even be controversial.)
- Ergo, put everything together, and we have the situation in the Netherlands, which applies in a great many other European countries as well: The country has a real, serious, and growing problem with estranged and disaffected Moslem youths; but hate-speech codes make it a criminal offense to discus the disastrous failure of the government's social policy, even by members of parliament.
It's a prescription for catastophe. It could never happen in Ronald Reagan's or George W. Bush's America because of individualism, assimilation, and community; I fear it may be all too plausible in Barack H. Obama's America.
The solution to this terrible dilemma is quite beyond the capacity of any socialist country; but it's the essence, the very core, of American exceptionalism (or simple Americanism):
- Allow immigrants to assimilate;
- Encourage, urge, and demand that they assimilate;
- Require that they be assimilable before letting them immigrate in the first place;
- And treat them exactly like every other American citizen when they do assimilate and naturalize themselves.
This is the ideal, however imperfectly it can be applied in the real world. Alas that we have an immigration system biased against assimilation; and we have two prevailing ideologies, neither of which is geared towards assimilation for different reasons: The Left doesn't want aliens to assimilate because lib-socs tend to dislike America and all it stands for; while the Right doesn't want aliens to come here at all, by and large, because they understand assimilation is a two-way street.
Like the Borg, when we assimilate an immigrant, we add his cultural "memes" to American culture. That's one reason we're such a powerful and irresistable force for social change throughout the world… and it's a positive characteristic, not a necessary evil.
But I think I fight a lonely war on this issue.

Software audits are a bit like public transport; you can wait for ages for a bus and nothing turns up and then all of a sudden five come along at the same time. It shouldn't surprise anyone that software vendors are running more licensing audits today than ever before. The challenging economic climate has driven down the volume of new license sales for many vendors, so they are looking to backfill that revenue gap by auditing their clients and by finding which ones are using more licenses than they actually purchased.
Looking at Forrester's inquiries over the last few years, we can see a steady increase in calls asking for help with a Software Audit. The main vendors we see active in the software auditing space at the moment are IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. That's not surprising, as they're the major software vendors overall. More clients means more audits. And audits certainly aren't limited to these players; vendors of all sizes are auditing.
But software audits don't need to be a horror show. If you are well prepared for an audit and have good Software Asset Management procedures in place then you should have nothing to fear. If you aren't prepared, perhaps in blissful denial that such an event would happen to you, then let this be a warning; in the software audit space, no one can hear you scream.
Un-licensed software usage is easy to miss. There are many potential causes but the outcome is usually the same; you owe more money to the software vendor!
So be prepared. And preparation starts with this: once the audit request arrives make sure you:

|edit"Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!"
|(参上!うずまきナルト, Sanjō! Uzumaki Naruto)
|Episode data
|Naruto #1 (Watch Online)
|"My Name is Konohamaru!"
|Prologue — Land of Waves
|Naruto Chapter #1
|October 3, 2002
|September 10, 2005
Twelve years ago, a vicious tailed beast known as the Nine-Tails, attacked the shinobi village of Konohagakure. Many shinobi fought the beast, but it defeated and killed all those that stood in front of it. Luckily, the town was saved when the village's leader, the Fourth Hokage, sealed the beast with an infant boy at the cost of his own life. In the present, Naruto Uzumaki is a prankster who is constantly causing trouble throughout Konohagakure, most recently having placed graffiti all over the Hokage Rock. Much of the village dislikes him for it, but he enjoys the attention garnered from reprimands, as he had no parents or friends due to the villagers abusing him daily for no apparent reason. Despite claiming to be a talented shinobi who would someday become Hokage, Naruto is incapable of performing basic techniques such as the Clone Technique. When this leaves him unable to graduate from the Academy, one of his instructors, Mizuki, tells Naruto that if he could steal the Scroll of Seals and learn one of its secret techniques he would be allowed to continue on to the ranks of the ninja anyway and graduate. After successfully stealing the scroll, Naruto is caught by another instructor, Iruka Umino, who realised that Naruto had been tricked. Iruka protects Naruto from the Mizuki who is planning to take the scroll for himself. Mizuki tells Naruto that he has the Nine-Tails sealed within him on the day of his birth. He goes on to explain that the villagers hate him for the monster he contains and that Iruka, whose parents were killed by the Nine-Tails, must hate him the most. Iruka said this was not the case, as he did not blame Naruto for the beast's actions, and that in fact he, having grown up also craving attention, sympathised with Naruto. Naruto believes Iruka and uses his newly-mastered Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to defeat Mizuki. Amazed by the complicated technique that Naruto has learned, Iruka officially makes Naruto a ninja by giving him his own forehead protector, and notes that he may one day have the potential to become Hokage.
- For the Japanese DVD release of this episode, a shinobi from the opening scene was redrawn without blood on his face. This edit was present in all subsequent dubbing of the episode.
- Shikamaru, Ino, and Sakura were behind Naruto in the anime, but in the manga, different unnamed Academy students were behind him.
- This episode does not contain the opening sequence only the title appears at the end of the prologue and the theme song plays only on the scene where some of the Konohagakure shinobi are chasing Naruto for defacing the Hokage Rock.
- The English dub of this episode was originally released as TV-Y7-FV. Due to the heavy content of the series, though, this rating was never used again.
- In the cut version, the blood from Iruka's nosebleed was edited out, so he was only seen falling back.

In all of history there has never been a day that was as significant to me as this one. No, it's not my wedding anniversary or a birthday of a loved one. Nope, no one famous did anything of great importance. A war wasn't won or lost on this day. But what did happen was on this day, 45 years ago, the very first episode of Star Trek aired.
Forty-five years! I wasn't even born when the first episode aired in 1966 and by the time I was born in 1969 the show had been cancelled. But that didn't stop me, at the tender age of 5 from falling head over heels with this show.
My mom has told me that I used to enjoy the show so much that I would pretend to be sick at supper time because that was when repeats of the show aired. I can remember owning a 1970's toy version of a phaser that would shoot a little circle piece from the top of it. I loved that toy and wish more than anything that I still had it.
As a teen, I read anything I could get my hands on that was Trek-related. Books, comic books, you name it. I read the books so much I wore the covers off of them. I remember seeing Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan and was in a state of shock when Spock died. (I still get emotional watching Kirk and Spock's final scene together.) A few years later, I watched with much excitement when Spock was brought back to life in such an unusual way that I overlooked all the glaring holes with the plotline of that movie.
I wished I was Captain Kirk – with his bravado and cunning and his ease around women. I longed to be Spock with his intelligence and his ability to control his emotions – something as a hotheaded young man I never was able to do well. To me, Dr. McCoy was like a gruff uncle and Scotty was that crazy relative who seemed to brighten up any room he was in. The whole lot of them were like this weird extended family that came into my house and brought these exciting adventures to me on a regular basis.
When The Next Generation came out, I was thrilled – but felt a little bit like I was cheating on my one true love. For a long time I couldn't wrap my head around how it was ok that Captain Picard was different than Captain Kirk. But he and that crew grew on me too and by the time "The Best of Both Worlds" came on, I was hooked completely. Watching that 2-parter now, I can still remember how I screamed "Noooo!" when Locutus (Picard) came on and Commander Riker ordered Worf to fire phasers and they hit the "To Be Continued" screen. A whole summer to find out what happened next? Pure agony!
Meanwhile there were still more movies to watch with the old gang. William Shatner produced one and while it was the worst of the movies (Kirk takes on God, sort of), it was still very cool and had some great scenes between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. The final movie for them "The Undiscovered Country", while showing their age, still managed to provide a good send off for the crew of The Old Series.
About this time, I met my wife-to-be and she somehow managed to stay with me even after I forced her to watch all six of the current movies. She watched numerous episodes of The Next Generation and if you catch her off guard, she'll even admit, she liked a few. Not long after we got married, I took her to see "Generations" which was the much anticipated Picard/Kirk team-up. At that point, she had enough and from there on forward I was on my own in regards to the movies.
Deep Space Nine came soon then and while not quite what I envisioned Trek to be, I loved the intrigue of the show. I also loved the fact that Commander Sisko was a little bit more of that rebellious leader much in the same way that Kirk was. The Ferengi's never really grew on me but I did love the dynamic between Odo and Quark though.
Then came Voyager – a kind of "Gilligan's Island" version of Trek. Which should have annoyed most female fans of the show because it had a female captain who gets her ship really, really lost and we all know that it's men who can't ever find their way anywhere without a map. I loved this show too, of course. Despite its kind of weak premise of having them lost, it kind of worked, because it allowed the writers to explore Star Trek in a fresh way. And of course there was Seven of Nine who was primarily put on that show to get every red-blooded male's attention (played by the beautiful Jeri Ryan) and it was a smashing success.
When Voyager ended, I was sure that would be it but then came Enterprise with Scott Bakula. I was absolutely beyond pumped for this show. I thought Bakula was fantastic in Quantum Leap and couldn't WAIT to see him in Trek. Unfortunately, if I had to be honest, Enterprise was not that great. You could tell that they'd gone too many times to the well and the storylines weren't all that fresh. The fourth season was better but by then it was far too late.
And so that was it, or so I thought. The Next Generation had made its last movie and Enterprise was cancelled. The well had been tapped. That was until 2009, when the newest Star Trek came out and it was about Kirk, Spock and McCoy again. Huh? DeForest Kelly (McCoy) is dead, and Shatner and Nimoy are in their 70's! Well, this one took the same characters and had them being played by new younger actors.
It was absolutely freaking FANTASTIC!!! I saw that movie four times on the big screen. Even though all of those actors were younger than me now, I literally felt like I was a kid again. I ate it up. They could not have made a better movie if they tried and I look forward to many more with this group.
Am I a diehard fan? Absolutely. Am I a fanatic? I don't think so. I'm not that much into the technical aspect of the show. I was once teased mercilessly by friends for calling the "Astrometrics" area "Astrophysics" (yes nerds will tease other nerds for nerdy things like this). I couldn't telling you how big one starship is over another or that sort of thing.
But I love the storytelling that Trek does. I love how it tackles society's issues in ways that most shows don't. I love the optimistic outlook the show provides for the future. But mainly, I just love it when Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway or Archer just simply shoot, punch or in some way outwit the bad guys.
Forty-five years ago this show took to the airwaves and for over 30 of those years I have been "boldly going" to the couch to watch them ever since. I hope that the series and I "live long and prosper" so I can do this for many, many more years.

I went to a meeting of a local Chinese-American relations committee last night, and I briefly mentioned my book, specifically alluding to the careful documentation of the emperors' sex lives during the Han Dynasty. As I finished, I noticed the Chinese man next to me scribbling with a pen on a paper napkin. "Han Dynasty," he said to me, and handed me the napkin. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the end of the meeting and slipped out before I could ask him to explain it to me. In any case, the drawing was so beautiful I had to post it here. Remember, he created it in about three minutes. (Click to enlarge.)
This is another open thread and I'm closing the last one. Finally.

My knowledge in Linux is great for the average user. Do you recommend that I use BackTrack for research in Internet security and as a home user (I watch movies, listen to music, etc.)
I have one more question. Can I do dualboot with windows, so if we do not like backtrack deleting it, and that just left XP.
refresh :$
Yes backtrack is good for testing for security. And you can Dual-Boot, just make sure u have an empty partition to install too. But why dual boot, why not just use a live cd or usb. See how you get on with backtrack then decide on wether u want it permanently . You can also make a USB with persistent mode if u r saving bits.

Consider what Bill Clinton, who signed an assault weapons ban into law in 1994, said about Americans and their pesky freedoms:
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly . [However, now] theres a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say theres too much freedom. When personal freedoms being abused, you have to move to limit it.
Opinions, please.

Since the introduction of MSX and Dermo in the 1950s, two infectious diseases that played a large role in the decline the Chesapeake Bays oyster population, several oyster hatcheries along the Eastern seaboard are working with scientists across many fields to develop innovative restoration programs. One idea is to introduce a non-native oyster from China called Crassostrea ariakensis.
In this video podcast, MicrobeWorld talks about current research underway with C. ariakensis, the potential risk of new diseases that could affect the Bays ecology and/or human health, the attitudes ofMarylands watermen toward the oysters possible introduction, and the role of local, state and federal policy.Special thanks goes out to the DC Science Writers Association, the Marian Koshland Science Museum and the University of Maryland Center for EnvironmentalSciences Horn Point Laboratory for helping with the logistics and planning of the shoot.

Home Groups
We pursue and live out gospel-centered community through Home Groups. Made up of men and women from all generations of life, these groups meet throughout the week for fellowship, care, prayer, accountability, sharing stories and studying God's Word. They're a place where we work to consider each other over ourselves. No group is perfect, and no two groups are exactly the same. We don't expect them to be. Because people are messy, groups are messy.
Through out the year, we host an event at each campus called GroupConnect. This event look a little different from campus to campus, but across the board, the hope is the same: to connect you into a Home Group where you can find a place to live out gospel-centered community. GroupConnect gives you the opportunity to meet different Home Group leaders and to sign up for a Home Group in your area.

Baston played in 27 games with the Indiana Pacers last season and averaged 2.5 points and 1.9 rebounds in eight minutes. The Pistons open the season Oct. 28 at Memphis. Jonas has earned minutes with his effort on defense and rebounding.

Mitch McConnell On Barack Obama: He Can't Get Anything He Wants. Those Days Are Over
posted at 7:59 pm on November 29, 2012 by Duane Patterson
The Republican leader in the United States Senate came to the meeting with Speaker Boehner and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. He saw the proposal that said $1.6 trillion in tax hikes, most of them front-loaded, and maybe, if we are magnanimous and haven't figured out a good reason not to over the next decade or so, perhaps we'll look at the possiblity of potentially cutting something we're not willing to specify in writing now to the tune of $400 billion, although we are certainly not going to be held to that number.
McConnell came, he saw, and then he laughed. He couldn't help it. It was the same kind of involuntary reaction one has when they're told the Cleveland Browns are going to win the Super Bowl this year. McConnell later joined Hugh Hewitt and had this to say:
MM: Well, it's certainly true that they could get what they have claimed for years they wanted to do by doing nothing. They could get a big Defense cut, and they could get a massive tax increase. But of course, they don't want to get a tax increase on everybody, only on the top two rates. Also, do they really think it would be good for the economy for all of this to kick in? I tell you, I think the fundamental observation I would make about all of this right now, whether it's this totally unserious proposal from the Secretary of the Treasury or the attempt by the majority leader to break the rules to change the rules of the Senate, they're strutting their stuff after the election. They're still celebrating, and they're having a hard time noticing that they don't have a super majority stranglehold on the Senate, and they don't control the House.
HH: Senator, there are at least nine, maybe ten or more Democrat seats up in 2014. You named some of them – Senator Landrieu, Senator Begich, but also Senator Rockefeller's seat is up, Senator Hagan, you've got Senator Baucus himself, Tim Johnson, Mark Udall, Mark Pryor. Are these Democrats who are…
MM: Alaska, very red state, Democrat in Alaska up…
HH: Are they not concerned that their constituents are watching, and they're going to remember this brinksmanship?
MM: Oh, I can't imagine that they would vote for what the Secretary of the Treasury showed the Speaker and myself today. I can't imagine it. And so that underscores what a totally unserious…this proposal, you know, Hugh, it wouldn't have passed the House with Nancy Pelosi as speaker. This is, you know, absurd.
HH: So if you have to do something, I mean, are you expecting them to send up something else? Or are they just trying to make it look as though you folks are refusing to respond to an offer?
MM: Yeah, I think it's all game playing. They want to make us look unreasonable. And you have to ask the question, to what end? There's not an election for two years. The election is over. This is time to be governing. The posturing, the endless campaign, the never-ceasing finger pointing and blaming, you know, I know he's upset about it, but he's got a Republican House to deal with, and he's got a non-inconsequential Republican minority in the Senate. He doesn't own this Congress like he did the Congress in 2009 and 2010. He can't get anything he wants. Those days are over.
I am pleased to see that not all Republicans in elected office are willing to cower to a President as though he has a mandate when in fact, no mandate exists. A coalition of unserious people can vote in an unserious leader so that unserious economic proposals are presented, but that certainly does not mean that serious people should abandon, well, seriousness.
I am also pleased that McConnell's press office issued a press release earlier today, then made sure they pointed to a great column by our friend and colleague, Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard. But when we responded and asked on short notice for the Senator to come on and talk about it, he did. Lesson to Republican Congressional leaders: Do this more.

Phantom type
From HaskellWiki
An extension to Haskell 98 supported by GHC allows you to define datatypes without any constructors (and therefore no values other than bottom):
data MyType
This lets the compiler (and programmer!) recognize phantom types and ensure they aren't used improperly.
1 Simple example
A data type that uses phantom types will often look something like this:
data FormData a = FormData String
This looks strange since at first it seems the type parameter is unused, and could be anything, and indeed one can write:
changeType :: FormData a -> FormData b changeType (FormData str) = FormData str
data Validated data Unvalidated -- since we don't export the constructor itself, -- users with a String can only create Unvalidated values formData :: String -> FormData Unvalidated formData str = FormData str -- Nothing if the data doesn't validate validate :: FormData Unvalidated -> Maybe (FormData Validated) validate (FormData str) = ... -- can only be fed the result of a call to validate! useData :: FormData Validated -> IO () useData (FormData str) = ...
-- the validation state is the same in the return type as the argument dataToUpper :: FormData a -> FormData a dataToUpper (FormData str) = FormData (map toUpper str)
With type classes, we can even choose different behaviours conditional on information that is nonexistent at runtime:
class Sanitise a where sanitise :: FormData a -> FormData Validated -- do nothing to data that is already validated instance Sanitise Validated where sanitise = id -- sanitise untrusted data instance Sanitise Unvalidated where sanitise (FormData str) = FormData (filter isAlpha str)
This technique is perfect for e.g. escaping user input to a web application. We can ensure with zero overhead that the data is escaped once and only once everywhere that it needs to be, or else we get a compile-time error.
2 The use of a type system to guarantee well-formedness.
We create a Parameterized type in which the parameter does not appear on the rhs (shameless cutting and pasting from Daan Leijen and Erik Meijer)
data Expr a = Expr PrimExpr constant :: Show a => a -> Expr a (.+.) :: Expr Int -> Expr Int -> Expr Int (.==.) :: Eq a=> Expr a-> Expr a-> Expr Bool (.&&.) :: Expr Bool -> Expr Bool-> Expr Bool data PrimExpr = BinExpr BinOp PrimExpr PrimExpr | UnExpr UnOp PrimExpr | ConstExpr String data BinOp = OpEq | OpAnd | OpPlus | ...
i.e. the datatype is such that we could get garbage such as
BinExpr OpEq (ConstExpr "1") (ConstExpr "\"foo\"")
but since we only expose the functions our attempts to create this expression via
constant 1 .==. constant "foo"
would fail to typecheck
I believe this technique is used when trying to interface with a language that would cause a runtime exception if the types were wrong but would have a go at running the expression first. (They use it in the context of SQL but I have also seen it in the context of FLI work.)
-- ChrisAngus
A foundation for embedded languages provides some formal background for embedding typed languages in Haskell, and also its references give a fairly comprehensive survey of uses of phantom types and related techniques.

Why I Won't Be Seeing 30 Minutes Or Less
A few weeks ago, I went to see the movie Bad Teacher (not my choice, okay?). A preview for the movie 30 Minutes or Less came on. The movie is about a guy who gets a bomb strapped to his chest by guys in gorilla suits and is forced to rob a bank. It stars Jesse Eisenberg, AKA The Guy Who Played The Guy Who Created Facebook. I was putting the movie into my "Not exactly a must-see, but if someone else was insistent on seeing it with me, it wouldn't be the end of the world" category, when I was hit with a joke that was distinctly unfunny.
The two main characters were at the supermarket, buying some supplies for their bank robbery, which include masks, duct tape, etc. …

Salinas City Council Votes to Purchase New Equipment for Fire Department
City will finance just more than a million dollars
SALINAS, Calif. - The Salinas City Council voted Tuesday night to foot the bill of just more than $1 million for the city's fire department to acquire new equipment. It's equipment Chief Ed Rodriguez says is a must for the department to keep the city safe.
Councilors also voted to accept a free engine from the state, which saved the city a half-million dollars.
Rodriguez asked for a new ladder, which costs about $1 million, because the mileage on the other ladder truck is so high it could become unreliable at any time.
The chief had also asked the city to finance another engine, worth more than a half-million because the current fleet is wearing out quickly due to high call volume and wear and tear from the road.
The vote comes a couple weeks after the department was awarded a federal grant worth nearly $3 million to fund new positions.
With that money, the department says it will hire back seven of 12 firefighters who were laid off for a two-year time period. In addition, the department will hire four additional staff members on a two-year contract.
Last May, the Center for Investigative Action found out the department didn't have enough staff to regularly monitor the city's several thousand fire hydrants.
In July, after a large fire on Acosta St., Central Coast News found out the city's only ladder truck isn't tall enough to reach the top of an apartment building.

Toyota 4Runner Models and 4Runner History
The 1998 4Runner featured new rotary HVAC controls, an updated steering wheel and new audio control head units. In 1999, Toyota updated the four-wheel-drive system, added a new front bumper with new multi-reflector headlamps, and made some changes to the upper trim levels. No major changes were store for the 2000 4Runner, but all trim levels received subtle updates to different options. New 15" wheels were added as a standard feature with updated body color options for 2001.
In 2002, Toyota released an all-new 4Runner with more room, more options, new engine choices, including a V8, and a long list of standard features. Following the major overhaul, not much changed for the 2002 model year. In 2003, the V6 engine models got a new five-speed automatic transmission, and the V8 engine was updated to deliver 270 hp. Toyota also added a rollover sensor, and updated the stability control system to include a limited-slip differential. 2006 saw an updated exterior style, complete with new bumpers, lower cladding and a new grille.
The carmaker also added thicker windshields, and an auxiliary jack on the stereo. 2007 saw no major updates. But in 2008, the 4Runner got new side curtain airbags. Nothing was new for 2009, with Toyota issuing a complete redesign for 2010 that offered more off-road options. In 2011, Toyota discontinued the four-cylinder engine models. A new sound system with the Entune connectivity system was the only major update for 2012, with only subtle changes to trim levels being made in 2013. For 2014, the 4Runner offered a new exterior style with new headlamps, an updated interior and a new touchscreen console for the stereo that included a backup camera.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|OK, all helpful. Got the lowdown on the wires from the pinion housing from the Cadillac dealer. Computer gets info from sensor in pinion box and determines if you are running straight or turning, and if running straight, if the steering wheel is correct position, or you may be ready for an alignment. Has no affect to the operation of the steering rack, just a little red warning light comes on if computer thinks it can get you to spend some money at the daler getting your caddy aligned. Went ahead and welded up my mounting for the rack started to shorten the tie rods. will finish that tomorrow, maybe. Never woulda thought about telescoping shaft. was thinking tilt shaft for the angles, but the telescoping would also cover the distance to the firewall. Coming right along. I thank you all for the helpful suggestions. Some I can use, some not, but it sure is nice to know that people out there actually know this stuff right off the top. I am usually in trial-and-error mode. If this don't work, try something else. And I normally have plenty of time to rethink it while I'm saving up the money to start over with different plan. You guys that been there save me a lot of time and money, and frustration. So, thank you again.
Here are some pics as to what I used. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/album.php?albumid=294
95 Saturn rack with factory steering joint, Borgeson telescoping steering shaft, 3/4''DD x 1'' DD joint,
5/8''LH tie rod ends (for both sides), 5/8'' LH and 1/2''RH tube ends(2 each), 1'' .095 wall DOM tubing, shorten inner tie rods and rethread to RH 1/2-20. LH tie rod ends and RH tie rod threads allow easy setting of toe and centering of steering wheel
Mount rack, install outer tie rod ends, install inner tie rods, align front tires, cut DOM tubing to fit between. Have them welded professionaly if you cannot do it. I cut the original column below the firewall, Lathed a bearing retainer and used a 3/4'' flange bearing. (These retainers and bearings are sold in the aftermarket for a 69? Chevy truck) Milled a DD on the end and attached the u joint to it. Telescoping shaft allows the axle to move without binding. I disassembeled the shaft and removed the tension spring inside to allow easier movement of the shaft. Keep it well greased. Make sure the shaft has enough travel to prevent bottoming out, or over extending. Your shocks are the limiter for extention. NOT the stop bolt in the shaft. There was a slight loss of turning radius, but not really noticeable. The power steering really makes up for it.
You may want to add some caster shims for more positive caster if you like.
|The caddy uses the center mount with the tie rods and ends. Reason I chose it was the tie rod ends are attached behind the steering pivot point (the kingpins) and I don't have to go over anything (exhaust manifolds, cylinder heads) or outside the frame to connect to steering wheel. I have a rack out of a camaro also, but it attaches in front of the kingpins and would steer backwards unless I turned the steering wheel upside-down or always remembered if I want to turn right, I have to turn left.
|yes, putting on straight axle. Got the geometry figured, and engine and exhaust manifold clear when I move the steering wheel on the firewall looks like this one might just fit. couldn't do it with pitman arm and linkage. steering box takes too much space and would need all kinds of u-joints, and extension rods and supports to match it to any steering wheel, but squeezing the rack and pinion under the engine and mounting to the axle (and also have to shorted tie rods, no biggee) seems to be ideal solution. Can't go with the mustang front end (simply can' afford it or the shipping). Just need to find out if this set I have needs computer control to operate. If I can't use it, then try something else. Nothing I like better than spending day in local junk yard and pulling my tool bag around on one of those little carts (except this yard, all the carts got at least on bad or broken wheel) and the selection is almost unlimited. Mainly dont want to finish welding up this mounting bracket I made for it and find out it won't work without computer. I suspect that the green and red wires and connector control the direction of flow to the power steering cylinder. Can't find the info anyplace. A mechanic told me it don't make any difference, but I don't think I worded the question right. Do appreciate all the help, and not afraid to scrap it and start over (like that never happens) but thought someone might just happen to hae run into this before and would know. Thank you
more info
What suspension do you now have in the front. Chevies of the late 30's early 40's used I beam straight axles, Knee action with coils, and also the double A arm more modern design. There are kits to bolt in mustang II fronts, the frames are a little different for different stock suspensions used. and what type of rack does the caddy use , GM used both center pivot and conventional shorter link racks in those years. There is a Wiki article here on hotrodders about upgrading the larger Gm cars of that era, buicks olds pontiacs, most parts are different but will give you some ideas.
|No idea on the wires, but are you mounting it to a straight axle? If so, I've been down that road and will share what I know about it.
Rack and Pinion question
I have a mid '80s Cadillac rack and pinion I want to put in '39 chev. The pinion tower (and I assume the power steering valve) has a pair of wires (red one and green one) w/connector that probably went to the computer in the car it came out of. Problem is I have no idea what they are for, or if the rack and pinion will work without a computer hookup. Have started building the mounting brackets for the steering, but I might just have unusable junk and need to go junkyard crawling to find steering set-up I can use. Anybody got any good ideas? Any help is always appreciated, and I don't mind a little ribbing about not knowing these things. Most my cars are older than I am, and back then they didn't have computers and such. (they didn't even have seat belts, if you can imagine that). Thank you.

The driver of a vehicle that was struck by an oncoming Transit Authority of Central Kentucky bus Thursday morning while taking her daughter to school succumbed Saturday to her injuries.
Elizabeth Diane Price, 35, died from injuries suffered in the three-vehicle wreck on Joe Prather Highway in Radcliff. Price, a North Hardin High School graduate, was dropping off her daughter, Kari Cook, a fifth-grader at Woodland Elementary School.
Kari is listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville.
According to Radcliff Police spokesman Bryce Shumate, Price and Kari underwent surgery Thursday evening. As of Friday, both were listed in critical condition.
Shumate was unsure of the status of the third individual involved in the collision who was treated for injuries Thursday at Hardin Memorial Hospital, he said.
Hardin County Schools spokesman John Wright said Woodland Elementary faculty and staff spoke with the entire fifth-grade class Friday morning about Kari's status.
"They talked about that this student was involved in an auto accident and that we need to be thinking of her," he said.
According to Wright, counseling is available to any student who wants to discuss the issue.
Price and her daughter were traveling around 7:15 a.m. in a Chevrolet Geo Tracker, which was stopped in an eastbound lane on Ky. 313 to turn left onto Wiselyn Drive to go to Woodland Elementary, according to police.
While there is a left turn lane at Ky. 313 and Education Avenue, there is not one at the intersection at Wiselyn Drive, Shumate said.
For unknown reasons, a concrete pump truck, also eastbound on Ky. 313, failed to stop and collided with the rear of the Tracker, police said.
The force of the collision pushed the SUV into oncoming traffic, and a westbound Transit Authority of Central Kentucky bus struck the side of the Tracker, according to police.
Asked about the possibility of a school zone in that area of Ky. 313, Chris Jessie, spokesman for Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 4, said while Woodland Elementary is adjacent to the highway, its entrance is at a county roadway.
Because it's not accessed directly from a state roadway, Jessie said the school must request to establish a school zone in that area of Ky. 313.
"We have never received or denied a request to put a school zone there," Jessie said.
He added, "If the school were to request something, we don't typically deny that."
By comparison, Jessie and Shumate pointed out there is a school zone on Ky. 313 in the area of North Middle School.
However, Shumate said the entrance to the middle school is at the highway.
Coffey and Chism Funeral Home in Vine Grove is in charge of Price's funeral arrangements.

Information workers in organizations across Asia Pacific (AP) are increasingly using personal mobile devices, applications, and public cloud services for work. Forrester defines this as the bring-your-own-technology (BYOT) trend. This behavior is more prevalent among employees above the director-level (C-level executives, presidents, and vice presidents) than those below that level (individual worker, contractor or consultant and manager/supervisor). Data from Forrester's Forrsight Workforce survey, Q4 2012 corroborates this trend in AP.
We believe that the BYOT trend will strengthen over the next two years in AP, primarily fueled by employees below the director level. Increasing options, quality and affordability of devices, apps, and wireless connectivity, coverage, and capacity will contribute to this expansion. In order to secure corporate data, organizations will need to:

Doesn't fit perfectly and the seams are not quality stitching. The custom holes are off a little bit. But I like the material.

The actual cover fits great, but the included adhesives are worthless. I bought extra and that didn't work. I just used scotch double sided tape and, am waiting to see if that works. Next, I'll use Gorilla Glue and attach it permanently!

The cover did not fit very well. In fact, it covered two of the four vents, and it did not fit well around the edges on the right or left.The description states that it will fit "all F250"; however,I believe there may be differences in some. I do not recommend the product. If it fit as shown in the pictures, it would be great.
serves a purpose, that's about it.

I ordered this because I liked that the speaker & sensor cutouts were an option over other brands. What I got looked like a bunch of guesses were made as to their locations. Fitment was not very good & I ended up buying my own Velcro to add in places to get it to sit right even after a week of being in my car & sitting in the sun. There's a lot to be desired in the fit & finish of the product but I can't be bothered to change it since I'm selling the car & at least it covers the dash cracks.
Just simply Awesome ! My wife wants my car now,,,

Animal Welfare Association (AWA), a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 animal welfare organization, operates the oldest and largest low-cost spay/neuter clinic, adoption center and no-kill animal shelter in South Jersey. We do not receive funds from the government or national groups. We rely upon local donations to fund our life-saving programs. Through a variety of innovative programs including adoptions, veterinary services, pet therapy, trap-neuter-return and humane education, we strive to ensure that animal companionship is accessible to all.
No animal is euthanized due to space, length of stay, or for treatable/manageable conditions.
AWA's mission is to eliminate animal suffering, promote the importance of the human-animal bond and improve the role of animals in the well-being of people.
All healthy and adoptable companion animals that come through AWA's doors are given as long as it takes for us to find them a home of their own, regardless of age, beauty, or infirmity. In addition, we provide medical care and treatment for our shelter guests who need a little something extra to make them adoptable.
Founded in 1948, Animal Welfare Association was one of the first humane organizations formed by a group of volunteers to serve Camden County and all surrounding areas. In the early years, dedicated volunteers took homeless animals into their homes and provided them with shelter and love until a new home could be found. Committees were devoted to educating people about proper pet care, wildlife rehabilitation, and proper sheltering of unwanted animals.
During the late 1960's and 70's, AWA opened its shelter on a rural dirt road and continued their progressive ways by opening the area's first Spay/Neuter Clinic, the ABC (Animal Birth Control) Clinic in 1974. Fees were as low as $25 and in the first year over 1,700 dogs and cats were sterilized. In the 1980's, AWA operated numerous community services and added the Pet Therapy Program to honor the bond between people and their pets.
Beginning in the late 1990's, our shelter started limiting its intake to focus on saving more lives and reducing euthanasia. By 2009, the shelter adopted a strong "No-Kill" philosophy. To accomplish this, given that every shelter has space constraints, AWA takes pets in to the shelter by appointments and cannot take in every animal. Caring for animals that require extensive medical care or behavioral rehabilitation means that these pets stay in our care longer and it costs more to care for them. We are unable to take in animals at all hours of the day without any planning because the pets in the shelter require our care.

Twelve University of St. Thomas Pre-Health Profession Society members kicked off their summer embracing the University's mission to serve others on the 2013 medical mission trip. The group traveled to Huancayo, Peru, from May 19 - 28.
PHPS collaborated with the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children to organize the fifth annual trip to South America. The student participants fundraised $1,000 per person for the trip via car washes, T-shirt sales and donations from Student Government Association and Council of Clubs. Led by alumna Irene Gutierrez, other members included Nelson Castellon, Angela Cortez, Joyce Chuen, Jonathan Cruz, Irene Gutierrez, Jisha Jose, Nema Kheradmand, Jennifer Le, Alin Nguyen, Claudio Pacheco, Adriana Padilla and Huzefa Tayabali.
The group participated in different activities every day, ranging from visiting Huancayo Medical School to area hospitals and clinics.
"Our schedule was very busy," Gutierrez said. "At the medical school, we were given a presentation over the healthcare system of Peru, and we visited and shadowed doctors at different hospitals."
In addition to experiencing firsthand the healthcare system in Peru, the group also visited an orphanage and elementary school.
"We gave them 'charlas', or talks, about health topics that we felt were appropriate for their age groups, such as personal hygiene and food groups," Gutierrez said. "We also had an opportunity to visit kindergarteners at an elementary school where we gave more than 200 kids a fluoride treatment."
Junior nursing major Nelson Castellon commented on his experience and how it changed his perspective on life.
"I enjoyed making a significant impact in the physical and emotional health of many kids by providing hands-on medical help and spending quality time with them," Castellon said. "It provided me with a whole new outlook in life. I realized the noise caused by technology and other luxuries make it so easy for us to lose focus on what the real purpose of life is -- to live through and for others. It also helped me understand and cherish life a bit more."
The Pre-Health Professions Society helps develop more informed and competitive health professions students in preparation for careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and other health-related occupations. UST boasts a 73 percent medical school acceptance rate.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Feb 25, 2008.
Star-Telegram.com: | 02/25/2008 | If Mavs pursue Barry, they'll have company
I don't remember where I heard it, but I think he is at the "trying to pass the physical" stage of the process right now. urine sample + 5 pull ups + run two laps without lolligagging. Pretty sure he won't have a problem with any of that.
and I really hoped JoeD would get Magloire. Too bad.
It would be interesting to know how much of an understanding Joe and DD had throughout the season. It is possible that JD didn't want to reneg on Davis just because Magloire became available.
Could it be that Pistons are actually looking at the Magloire's availability before actually signing DD?
Seems to me that if the Pistons were gonna sign him, he would be with the team by now. Read last week that he was hanging out with Joe D and in the Pistons locker room. He should have had his physical by now and at least know that he can withstand the physicality of 30 more games and the playoffs.
Joe know what Dale do.
Two thoughts occur... 1) Joe had an open an honest "agreement" with Chris Webber about what may or may not transpire. I'm sure he had the same level of integrity with DD about a possible roster spot. In short, I'm pretty sure JD didn't guarantee anything to DD. 2) I'm not sure when a player has to be on the roster in order to be playoff eligible. But there may be no rush to make that move until DD has another offer on the table, at which point JD will be asked to make an offer by DD's agent. In the meantime, AJ gets to play.
I believe it is 26 february in order to be playoff eligible. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think they need to be on the roster by 3/1 if they are signed as FA
I just remember readin here in LA times last week, that if the Clippers bought out Sam Cassells' contract, he would have to be signed by some one and on their roster by 3/1 in order to playoff eligible > I wil see if I can find the article on line.....
You are correct, the deadline is March 1st.
If this is true....what a waste when you could have gotten a non senior citizen.
Low, who would that be?
Would he be content to sit? The 5th big is not going to see much playing time.
He sat on the Nets bench for most of the season. Might be more enjoyable to sit on a winning bench with Hunter
I am not a Magliore fan at all but there may be a change in mindset between coming in as a key FA acquisition or a trade vs. getting waived and sticking with another team. Maybe Frank sat the hubris out of Jamaal. Still prefer dale tho.
Wasn't he an all-star a couple of years removed?
in 03-04. that year he averaged 13 pts 10 reb. the next season he played 25 or so games averaging 11 pts, 9 reb due to a dislocated finger. his averages have steadily declined since then
