There is a certain kind of peace that is not merely the absence of war. It is larger than that. The peace I am thinking of is not at the mercy of history's rule, nor is it a passive surrender to the status quo. The peace I am thinking of is the dance of an open mind when it engages another equally open one.
--Toni Morrison, "The Dancing Mind"
Where is your mind? Where is it on a Saturday morning when you're rolling out of bed, grabbing for your iPhone, and scrolling through your email? Where is it on Friday at 11:20 p.m.? Where is it when you're driving through campus? While you're running on a treadmill, while you're printing out your paper, while you're sipping a latte? Where is your mind when you've lost your focus? When you've lost your purpose? When you can't seem to turn off auto-pilot? When your phone won't stop beeping and your calendar keeps growing?
The Griot Institute for Africana Studies, in partnership with Library & IT, will host the Dancing Mind Challenge this fall. The Dancing Mind Challenge, based on Toni Morrison's reflections in her essay "The Dancing Mind" is an opportunity for Bucknell students, faculty and staff, and community members to "unplug" and read without electronic interruptions or distractions for several consecutive hours.
You may participate in the challenge by reading alone or you may join other participants in the 2nd floor lounge of Bertrand Library or the 3rd floor of the Barnes & Noble bookstore. Refreshments will be provided.
After completing the Dancing Mind Challenge, participants are asked to contribute their reflections on the experience to the Challenge Blog.
Be sure to also check out our Dancing Mind video!

(Chapel Hill, N.C.) – The National Center for Safe Routes to School announced today the release of the Federal Safe Routes to School Program Progress Report, which examines the progress of the federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program and the implementation of the legislation which established SRTS – the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act — a Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU, 2005). According to the Progress Report, since 2005, when the federal program was established, more than 10,400 U.S. schools across all income levels have participated in SRTS programs and all three main requirements of the law have been achieved.
"Progress of the SRTS program can be seen in a variety of ways. There are new and renovated sidewalks and bike paths, trained crossing guards and new bike racks, and students and families who are energized by participating in walking school buses and bicycle trains in communities across the country," said Lauren Marchetti, director of the National Center for Safe Routes to School. "Thanks to the federal SRTS program, many more American children and families have the opportunity to walk or bicycle to school in safer conditions."
SAFETEA-LU provided $612 million to establish the Federal SRTS Program to support projects to improve safety on walking and bicycling routes to school and to encourage children and families to travel by foot or by bike. Subsequent continuing resolutions increased the funding amount to $821 million through Dec 30, 2010. From the program's inception through December 2010, the reporting period for the Progress Report, nearly $584 million had been announced in funding for projects at more than 10,400 schools in 50 states and Washington, D.C., with the potential to reach approximately 4.8 million schoolchildren.
The National Center's Progress Report describes how state SRTS programs are set up, challenges to funding distribution, who is being reached, and what types of activities or projects are being implemented. Research findings include:
In addition, the report examines how the three main requirements of the law (SAFETEA-LU) have been achieved: 1) SRTS programs with designated State SRTS Coordinators have been established in each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C.; 2) an information clearinghouse for the federal program, the National Center for Safe Routes to School, has been established and is operating; and 3) the National SRTS Task Force developed a national strategy to advance SRTS programs nationwide.
"Whether it's establishing safer places to walk or bicycle or encouraging more families to take the trip to school by foot, it's important that communities have the funding they need to implement high quality SRTS projects to address their specific needs," Marchetti said. "The rising community-level interest in this effort, combined with knowledge and experience gained by states, communities, federal agencies and researchers working in SRTS, provides momentum for the federal program to continue to benefit communities nationwide."

ODA: 'Open range' isn't open season on livestock
Dry weather, other factors push grazing animals to new areas
In many parts of Eastern Oregon, livestock animals are venturing far and wide in search of their next meal, sometimes onto the property of an unsuspecting landowner. The result has already led to tragic and unfortunate consequences.
"Our conditions east of the Cascades will continue to cause animals to be out of the pasture sooner and looking for better quality feed in a neighbor's field," says Rodger Huffman, manager of the Oregon Department of Agriculture's Animal Identification Program.
Fire the past two years has destroyed fencing and other structures in some locations of Eastern Oregon that normally would keep livestock in secured areas.
A general lack of moisture this summer has caused the range grasses and other feed sources to be less than adequate in terms of volume and quality.
That combination of conditions has created greater potential for livestock to stray greater distances. Even in areas of open range, it is leading to possible conflict.
"There is a perception that anybody else's animals that encroach on your private property are trespassing, and that's where the rub is," says Huffman.
Last month, a La Grande doctor was charged with seven counts of aggravated animal abuse and first degree criminal mischief after allegedly shooting seven cows– killing six of them– that had come onto his property.
The area, once classified as open range, had been designated as a livestock district, creating a closed range area. Technically, the animals were trespassing but there is no justification for shooting the animals, even in a livestock district.
"For a landowner to take that kind of action is unacceptable," says Huffman. "There are other avenues to resolve the issue."
The incident underscores the confusion that comes from not understanding Oregon's open range law and a person's responsibility to either keep livestock fenced in or fenced out. Open range allows livestock to lawfully run at-large. The burden is on property owners to keep them out rather than livestock owners to keep them in.
"People in open range areas that don't want livestock animals in their yards or gardens, the law doesn't say they must fence those animals out, but it infers it," says Huffman. "If you have not constructed an adequate fence, then an animal that comes onto your land is not trespassing. If it was deemed by us to be an 'adequate' fence and somehow the animal breached it, that's a different story."
For those who live in a livestock district, or closed range, the owner of the animals is required to keep them on their property.
With more people moving to the countryside from urban areas, there is often a lack of understanding when it comes to who is required to do what.
"Just because it appears to be a residential area doesn't necessarily mean it isn't open range," says Huffman. "When animals wander into an urban-rural interface, they may be in open range and there may not be anything unlawful about what is happening."
Huffman suggests if there is any question, property owners should find out whether they live in open range or in a livestock district.
Three counties -– Grant, Harney, and Lake -– are entirely open range, meaning livestock can run at-large in all areas except for incorporated cities.
Ten counties, mostly on the west side of the state, are classified entirely as livestock districts and the owner must keep animals confined to their property. Those counties include Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Coos, Gilliam, Hood River, Multnomah, Polk, Sherman and Tillamook.
The other 23 counties are a combination of open range and livestock districts. The county clerk or ODA can provide detailed descriptions of open range areas and livestock districts.
Knowing the type of range, open or closed, will be helpful in knowing how to handle livestock that wanders onto someone else's property.
In a livestock district, such as the one in which the La Grande doctor allegedly shot the estray animals, it's recommended to contact the livestock owner if the identity is known.
Frequent problems can be addressed in civil or criminal court. If the owner is not known, ODA should be contacted so that a brand inspector can help identify ownership. Ultimately, the county sheriff's office could get involved to issue citations for animals at-large.
"You can try to run the animals off your property, even if it's open range, but again– there is nothing unlawful about the encroaching animals in open range if there wasn't adequate fencing," says Huffman. "When possible, the animals should be contained by the property owner. We aren't in the business of rounding up livestock, but we can help determine ownership and will help people resolve the issue."
Huffman says the bulk of livestock producers are sensitive and responsive to instances when animals are causing damage to other people's property, whether it's in a livestock district or open range.
"The best advice is to try and be tolerant if the animals are on your property. If you can't find the owner, contain the animals and call an ODA brand inspector."
ODA's Animal Identification Program can be contacted at (503) 986-4680.
This time of year, the occurrence of livestock on someone else's property is practically daily. ODA gets involved several times a week. Because grass production and range conditions are down significantly in many areas of Eastern Oregon, livestock animals are seeking out other food sources earlier than normal. Huffman is anxious to reach out to those people who may come in contact with a wayward cattle, sheep, equine, or goats.
"Realize that animals will sometimes end up where they shouldn't be. It is not unlawful to chase them off your property but it is unlawful to cause them harm."

Appliance buy starts to haunt her credit rating
Sally pays off her credit card bills each month and is not interested in financing purchases. She has a good idea on when she has to purchase new appliances and budgets for them.
But when she went to the Sears store in Waterford's Crystal Mall in April 2012 to purchase a new washing machine the manager of the appliance section told her of a special promotion.
Sol Ortiz Miller, the appliance manager, told Sally that if she financed the washing machine on her Sears-Citi credit card there would be no interest for one year and she would not have to make any payments for 12 months.
Sally, who lives in New London County, said she wasn't interested. "I told her I never do this," Sally recounted. However, Miller kept pressing, telling her it would be foolish to pass up such an offer.
Sally said Miller told her that "everyone takes her up on her offer."
"She made me feel so stupid," Sally said and she gave in. Next Miller talked Sally into purchasing a five-year warranty/service contract for $340.
Sally said Miller told her the new washers are all digital and she needed a service contract to protect her. However, she said she would only be charged $60 a year.
That was the origin of a financial nightmare for Sally, who asked that she only be identified by her first name.
A few weeks later she got her first bill from Citi requiring her to pay a minimum $25 on her purchase. She drove to the Sears store with her checkbook with the intention of paying off her entire bill.
Miller, she said, told her it was simply a mistake and she would correct it. Miller urged her not to pay off the balance.
Next month Sally received her second bill, this time with a $35 penalty and a demand that she pay the entire $340 for the service contract because she did not make her minimum payment. She canceled her service contract.
Miller again told her not to worry, it was some kind of a mistake and gave her a $35 credit. This went on for month after month until Sally's penalty and interest payments added up to more than $400.
Sally finally reached Miller's boss, Marc Hebert, the store manager. He agreed to give Sally a $217 credit, representing half the interest and penalties she was charged.
But to get that credit Sally had to sign an agreement promising not to discuss this issue again with any Sears employee.
Sally then paid off the $870, which included the purchase of the washing machine, half the interest and penalty. Two weeks later she received a notice from her bank saying her line of credit was being cut in half because "there has been a negative change in the quality of your credit performance."
"That really hurt me," Sally said, explaining she had worked hard all her life to have excellent credit.
She then contacted CtWatchdog to see if anything could be done to force Sears to repair her credit. I contacted Sears and its spokesman Larry Costello. Costello's only response to Sallie's allegations was that "there was a breakdown in communications on the part of our store associate with the customer."
However, a couple of days later, she received a letter from April E. Tatum, a member of Sears Presidential Communications team, telling her that Sears regretted the "misunderstanding" and was taking steps to remove the negative reports from Sallie's credit reports.
"I will never set foot in Sears again," Sally said.
I don't blame her.

|Autocross Racing The place to discuss information about autocross stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
One way to look at it (not the only way, but a good point of view) is the way the FAA does. I've heard crashes referred to as "Controlled Flight Into Ground" (ie - nothing wrong with the plane). If there is no mechanical problem with the plane then the FAA considers the cause of the crash pilot error . Rather harsh judgment in some cases...
Saving your butt rather than the run is a great priority!
|not cool man......
I like a smaller field as well. We always get a minimum of 8 runs. 4 in the morning, 4 in the afternoon.
|we get a large novice turn out each event, probaly only have about 100 regulars that attend every event rain or shine. I think our main issue with safety is rookies coming off their first run not coming to a complete stop but rather cruising back to their grid spot at a whooping 30mph, with over 250 people walking thats definately not a good thing. I ususally play the 2x's rule, i warn you twice to slow down and maintain the 5mph limit while in grid/paddock, if they do it a third time, kicked off the site. We only had to do this once last year as a guy spun into the grass back to back runs. the fact we stick to our guns though means EVERYONE plays by the rules, and personally I want a 60 car event, more runs lol, we get 4 per day, i run with another region that usually gets about 60 and we get 8 runs.
We always make it a point to talk about this sort of situation in our Driver Meetings. We let guys know, and I know I repeat it if I am the one giving the Novice Walk, that if you're truly out of control then the run is already boned and you need to just get off of it. If you're in that situation, then there's no way you can "save" the run anyway...
Maybe the finish was a kink the other way, but on my courses Finish NEVER points at paddock or any immovable obstacle, and I mean the general direction they will be speeding into at finish, not just a kink they can drive right through. If that compromises the course a bit, TFB.
Like you, I am somewhat at a loss as to how it could happen. At this point, I am less inclined to blame course design based on what the video shows.
Looks like gross driver error.
Tua -
Sounds like you guys run a tight ship. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about grass and walls. Your events are considerably larger than ours (we only run about 60 cars per event) and I can see how it would be difficult to police an event.
With that many cars, I can see why you would need everone to be watching.
I do like the idea of pulling a participant if they are shall we say..."overly enthusiastic". Right now, if that happens at our events (unless they are really being stupid by doing it in the paddock), usually they get a talking to and the suggestion of taking an instructor.
Two weeks ago I had an event in the pooring rain and during a slalom my back end came around and i found my car pointed at a course worker oblivious to me out of control, this was a familar situation for me to have the back slipping excessively so all i did was minor countersteer and took my feet off the pedals until i was able to regain control, steer away from the worker and come to a stop. Luckily I hit only one cone too and they didnt even bother red flagging me as I just made my way off course 6/10ths the speed so as not to hold up the event. Only seat time can really prepare you for these type of situations and thats why I love AutoX, you really do become a better driver.
|my region does pretty much the exact same thing but also we try to make use of permanent structures, like placing worker stations near light poles with cement bases. grid and just about every paddock are either located on a different surface or have a permanent barrier protecting them. and yes the course exit should always run off into wide open space if avaliable, if not avaliable, then something that will at least (as a minimum) protect all others not in the car, hopefully the driver has his seat belt on. We have one course located on an abadoned airstrip that has cement barriers at both ends and large expanses of grass along the sides. Obviously we park the timing truck,grid, and paddock behind the cement wall. only once or twice a year do I see someone lose it and spin into the grass with no damage except a need for a carwash. oh and the fact that that almost fast run won't count. We also enact a rule that if a driver seems to spin, or be out of control consistently, we pull them out of the event. also if a wheel touches the grass, your pulled out too. we run a 30ft buffer between any course element and the grass. as for those with the authority to stop the event, I am the assistant grid chief and two weeks ago i found an oil slick in grid, radioed it in and the SS pulled the car, not the driver out of the event, he was allowed to run another car should someone offer. Anyone is allowed to stop an event, but only the chiefs have the power to actually remove a car/driver from an event. We actually depend on everybody keeping watch for unsafe conditions such as a biker wanting to ride through, opps I never saw him ride through grid. We run about 200 per event so its tough to keep track of everyone.
a couple posts back someone was relating a few stories about how experienced drivers have over corrected and lost it into a curb/berm/fence, etc.
IN my experience driving I have almost lost it many times, But when things start to go bad, I focus on saving the car (and myself), not on saving the run. Its when people who end up at 11/10ths try to save their run, by major steering corrections to get back on course, that they end up over correcting and totally screwing up. I've had many DNF where I save my self and the run be damned. As much as there MAY have been a problem with course design (i wasnt there, and sometimes its not balck and white). I still lean toward gross driver error for this accident.
Found some video's of the finish of the course where the porsche crashed...
He must have froze up or something b/c it looks like there's plenty of room to stop, or even turn if the brakes went out...

text: Posted November 6, 2012 It's an insider post, so I'll post the Panthers part: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8599169/nfl-power-rankings-audit-underrated-carolina-panthers-overrated-indianapolis-colts Underrated -- Carolina Panthers (No. 29) When the general manager has been fired midseason, you know things haven't gone well for a team. And the Panthers' 2-6 record is proof of that. But when you examine the Panthers a little more closely, you see a team that isn't as bad as its record. They nearly beat the Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears. In fact they were in control of all of those games and let them slip through their fingers. Let's break down the team. The much-maligned Cam Newton has been disappointing in his sophomore season, and the offense hasn't clicked. They definitely have experienced some growing pains trying to open things up more. Last year they ran three-or-more wide receiver sets on 47.4 percent of plays; this year, that number has jumped to 59.7 percent. It hasn't quite worked and the rushing game has faltered. But the defense is much better. Nowhere is this more evident than how they're getting to the passer. Charles Johnson is averaging a quarterback disruption on 18.3 percent of pass rushes, compared with 11.8 percent last year; Greg Hardy has moved from 9.7 percent in 2011 to 13.4 percent this year; and they've even gotten production out of rookie Frank Alexander, who has a pressure percentage of 11.7 percent. It has all been making life extremely uncomfortable for opposing quarterbacks. Yes, they'll miss Chris Gamble and Jon Beason as the season goes on, but the development of Luke Kuechly is encouraging and Thomas Davis' comeback is generating positive returns on the field -- he has held up so far, playing 53.8 percent of the team's total snaps. Nobody is going to confuse the Panthers with a possible playoff contender. But they've been competitive -- and then some -- against good teams and are coming off a big win against the Washington Redskins. For our money, that makes them a better team than the likes of the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans. Have I mentioned I work with PFF?

Last month, we introduced Freshpet TV celebrity Beacon, the Boston Terrier. He was a rambunctious pup with a huge heart and was a blast to have on set.
But lovable pets come in all different shapes and sizes. That being said, we couldn't wait to introduce the beautiful Muneca, an elegant Weimaraner with gorgeous blue eyes. Let's just say she turned heads when filming!
Trainer's Name: Kevin and Alexandra
Breed: Weimaraner
Age: 3
Where She Lives: Linden, NJ
How did you end up in Alexandra's family? Well, I'm actually from Bogota, Colombia originally – muy bueno! My name, Muneca, is Spanish for "doll." My Mom said she named me that because she thinks I'm pretty! Alexandra and Kevin adopted me when I was a puppy and brought me back to the States. It's been amazing being part of such a loving family.
What Kind of Pup Were You? I think we all realized early on that I had Weimaraner hunting instincts. When Mom brought me to the lake for the first time, I was terrified to go in the water. I'd never swam before and it looked so scary. I wouldn't even go fetch my favorite ball in that lake. But then I spotted some geese and when they fled to the water, I dove right in after them. I've been chasing balls into the water ever since!
Where Do You Sleep At Home? Lucky for me, I have two beds. Things are pretty comfortable at home. One bed is upstairs and the other downstairs. On chilly nights, Mom even gives me a blanket to snuggle under. Girl's got to have her beauty sleep, right?
You Were Pretty Comfortable In Front of the Camera. Have You Done This Before? Don't make me blush! I have done this a few times actually. Mom helped me get a part in a Mercedes-Benz commercial. I've also been featured on Gilt.com and worked with Nordstrom. But this Freshpet commercial was my favorite because I love their food, it's the best! Plus I can't drive a car so Mercedes was different :)
What's A Typical Day Like? I wake up early and fly down the stairs to chow down on my Freshpet. After I've stuffed myself, a quick nap ties me over until the rest of the family is awake. Mom takes me for a morning walk and then we play Frisbee – I love the Frisbee! It helps me stay in shape. While everyone is working, I wait by the door for them to get back and play with me. When they come home I wag my tail like you wouldn't believe!

I've tried many brands and my preference is Parmak. The key to electric fences is it MUST be baited otherwise they will walk right through it. You need to zap them on their nose or tongue. I use scrap pieces of #8 hardware cloth hung on the wire smeared with peanut butter.
It is fine to disagree and it sounds like your method is working for you. A little bit of peanut butter is no more of a bait than those big bee hives you have on the other side of the fence. All I can say is that I have never had a bear issue with a properly baited fence. I have had plenty of bear issue when the fence was not baited.
And ones the bears get the taste for bees at electric fence WILL NOT STOP BEARS
I use electric fences for pigs. The solar ones have never worked for me. All the ones i tried just don't shock hard enough to keep a pig in. I have the best luck with the 120v or battery fence chargers

Hey all bought an amp that doesn't have this turn on feature, just swapped all the wiring over from the Pio to the other amp and using the standard trigger turn on all is normal and good now but Alass the silly power intenna powers on when the doors are unlocked LOL but even with the power on on the amp with the hu off I have deleted the thump of the signal sorce at start up. Technology is only temperarorly defeatable .
Thanks all.
|Thanks majorChibi Your right in questioning the install this is the only way to truly understand what is going on. The amp has a feature to adjust the voltage coming in from line level inputs via RCA plug at amp level as does a quality LOC and everything seems to work fine as well as the adjustments The original speakers in the non sony six speaker system are rated at 25volts although this doesn't mean the head unit is that high but this is the only info I can find on the original system the amp has a normal setting for .06 normal and higher or above 18volts this does decrease the pop some what but not a comfortable level. The pop only happens when I start the engine not at all when I turn the head unit on or off and this is with the hu off. The ford has a warning information system that tells you when eather door,hudd or hatchback are opened and all this goes through the computor and the tone relay to get your attention all goes through the signal source speaker level . This is why the doors turn on the amp however with no music signal just a signal source from the warning system computors cant trust em cant live without em ha. You are correct in the fact that the HU speaker level is high but is adjustable at the amp. It is defently the amp new technology with speaker level trigering It does have a seperate trigger for turning it on but this is only used if you piggyback two or more amps anougther feature of this new gen amp.
Do you get the same pop when you turn on the HU with the car "off"?
And I don't want to question your install but your your HU doesn't have a direct connection to the speakers right? like you cut/disconnected the speaker wire, then soldered a new speaker wire from the headunit-side speaker wire to the amp? Not just piggybacking the signal from the speaker wire.
When you mentioned the OEM HU has line level input...did you mean speaker level output(which I believe are High level)? I'm assuming you are using the high level input connector on your amp?
Try connecting disconnecting the speakers from the amp and connect the oem speaker if it still happens. If its ok, then check your speaker install. If not then its probably the amp. Another thing is high level inputs aren't the best and you may what to try using a line out converter to convert the headunit output signal to line level.
|Thanks for the input sleepyboy I have found out through Crutchfield whom I purchased the amp from that due to the Head unit in the 2013 foco that this amp the GM-D8604 may not be compatible due to a constant data signal coming from the computor. The amp has an auto turn on through the RCA plugs that were supplied with the amp for splicing into the line level speaker wires the head unit has no rca output only line level speaker wireing. As far as the amp turning on even Ford is confused why this should happen when a door or even the hood is opened. I think but dont hold me too it that it is a function of the computor warning system when a door or the hood is unlatched that shows on the information screen. Talk about the twilite zone Ha Ha.
|Could be the amp, most amps come with built in features such as a "soft turn on" to stop that from happening. It sounds like you wired the remote wire into the wrong wire. The amp shouldn't turn on when you open the doors lol. This popping could be coming from the power surge of when you start the car. Find a different power spot to tie into the remote that comes on with the key. It will probably fix the popping.
|Thanks for the input and I too was thinking along this line also so I went back and checked all the ground points and even doubled up on the battery and chassis ground with no luck, thanks thou I would recommend to anyone installing an amp with RCA auto signal in the 2012 and after stock ford head units check before buying due to a feature in these heads of a constant signal source probly due to the ford synch systems It some how turns the amp on even with the Head unit off when the doors are opened including the hood and hatch back door are opened.
|Check ALL of your grounds and connections. But I am thinking it's a ground.
Bad Thump From Speakers at Engine Start
Hello all, Just installed new Infinitys in front and back and new GM-D8604 Pioneer amp my non sony six speaker head unit with synch is a fair unit but only has line level inputs. However the Pioneer amp had supplied RCAs to convert the inputs. I spliced in to the head units outputs using the supplied wire colors and all sounds great except the amp powers on when any of the doors are opened including the hatch, even with the head unit off this I can live with BUT when I start the car even with the head off the speakers pop so hard Im sure the speakers will be damaged any one have any thoughts?

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner David Hillier and Tim Stillman of Vital Arsenal.
Read on for their verdict on the Chelsea game.
Chelsea did a tactical job on Arsenal on Saturday and it seemed that the home side really struggled to get out of second gear and break their opponents down. Chelsea pressed the ball and pushed us into wide positions, where we were not always comfortable crossing. I think Cazorla got frustrated in the midfield trying to get through into the middle. Gervinho was quiet up front and was snuffed out. Arsenal under-performed in different periods of the game. Until we went 1-0 down, we weren't really in it - we coughed and spluttered. Then when Chelsea got the goal, all of a sudden there was a bit more urgency about us. We looked sharp for the last 20 minutes of the first half.
I expected us to come out in the second half and hit the ground running, but it never really happened. Chelsea ground us down, the defending for the second goal was pretty poor and I think that disheartened not only the crowd, but also one or two on the pitch. It just made it a frustrating afternoon for us. We saw Giroud with a good chance at the end of the game to make it 2-2. Coming off the bench, you've really got to take those chances. Overall though this is just a little blip in Arsenal's very good start to the season.
Both teams go into this game unbeaten and with the best defences in the league, so this could be a tight one. Speculation over which striker Arsenal will start with will play a huge part. Personally I think they will go with Lukas Podolski and Gervinho, who are both mobile and quick - and if John Terry makes his return they could take him and David Luiz to task as neither are particularly pacy. Both teams will be fluid in midfield, with creative players like Juan Mata and Eden Hazard the ones to watch for Chelsea, along with Fernando Torres who seems to have new-found confidence. Like the last meeting between the two sides at the Emirates, I think it will be a cagey affair with few chances and maybe one goal will be enough to take all three points. Arsenal will have to be sharp up front and Aaron Ramsey could be the one to open Chelsea up with his probing runs.
I think everyone is a bit disappointed with how the game panned out in the end. I thought Chelsea did their homework on Arsenal and reduced the influence of some of our more dangerous players and we didn't do the same for Chelsea. Cazorla was still able to create in the final third, but overall his influence on the midfield was neutered by Ramires, who practically man marked him in the second half. I was impressed by Chelsea's rotating three of Mata, Hazard and Oscar. There was talk when that trio played last weekend of a lack of understanding, with all three crowding into the same area behind Fernando Torres. But they looked more cohesive on Saturday. It wasn't just their attacking influence that made a difference. All three pressed Arsenal's defenders very hard in possession and cut off the supply to Arteta, who has become akin to an umbilical cord for Arsenal. That prevented us from building from the back, which we like to do. I don't think Arsenal's forwards worked nearly as hard at pressing Chelsea's defensive line.
Losing Diaby early on appeared to upset our shape. Ramsey started very positively on the right I thought. Many will point to the fact that we gifted Chelsea two goals from set pieces and were rarely cut open by them and perhaps consider us unfortunate as a result. But in reality, I think Chelsea asserted their game plan much better than we did ours. There was never really a point in the game where I thought to myself, 'Arsenal are on top here and Chelsea look worried'. The game was under their control for the most part. Cazorla and Podolski have enjoyed good starts to their Arsenal careers, so it stands to reason that they have been identified by other teams and paid close attention to. Giroud is a striker who occupies defenders and gives Arsenal another focal point and I think the coming weeks will see him become more of a fixture in the team so he can free up Arsenal's creative players.
This will be one of the more intriguing games between the two clubs in some years. Both sides are in a period of transition - especially up front - with new players and variations on their tactical systems. Arsenal and Chelsea are still bedding their respective styles in, which actually makes it difficult for both managers to scout their opponents effectively. The likes of Cazorla, Podolski, Oscar and Hazard have all added something to the Premier League pretty much straight away. They've all made a difference to their teams in the final third, but as time goes on, opposing managers will see more and more of them and devise methods to negate their influence.
Arsenal have a number of pleasing selection problems. Walcott has always had some joy against Chelsea, but Ramsey really helped our possession-based game against City last week. Giroud has found the net now, but I think Gervinho's movement in the final third has been really good from the centre. Arsène also has three of the Premier League's best centre halves at his disposal, but I think Mertesacker has really caught the eye back there. Lunchtime kick-offs usually strangle the atmosphere but I think there will be plenty of spice to this one. I fancy a moment of magic from one of the aforementioned creative forward players to win this one by a single goal.

There is a growing awareness that a paradox lies at the heart of the Democrats' strategy on long-term fiscal control. The administration and congressional leadership are passionate in asserting that the unsustainable growth in federal entitlement spending must be reined in—and that this is why we need to enact sweeping health-care reform. Yet the health-care proposals now working their way through Congress are struggling just to be deficit neutral. Meanwhile, no other long-term reform of entitlement programs seems to be under serious consideration.
How do the architects of the reform proposals explain this paradox? Very often they make a two-part argument. The first part is that our fiscal problem is entirely a health cost problem. As evidence, they cite a November 2007 CBO report which pronounced that, contrary to common wisdom, the aging of America is only a minor contributor to the projected explosion in entitlement spending. Almost all of the increase, the report said, is attributable to excess growth" in health costs. The second part is that much of this excess cost growth is in fact pure waste, and that vast and painless savings can be achieved by identifying the waste and eliminating it. Put the two parts of the argument together and the implication is that the whole long-term budget problem could be solved without giving anything up. Indeed, perhaps we could afford to have a little more and pay less for it.
When this argument first surfaced, the Concord Coalition pointed out that both parts were fatally flawed.* First, the impact of demographic aging was hardly trivial. According to our own projections, it accounted for roughly three-fifths of the growth in entitlement spending through the 2030s and two-fifths through the 2070s. Second, the claim that vast savings in health care could be achieved by eliminating waste was dubious. Unless reform compelled patients and providers to confront difficult trade offs, we warned, it would be more likely to add to costs than to reduce them.
The CBO has now set the record straight. In its most recent Long-Term Budget Outlook, released in June, it concludes that aging is, after all, a major contributor to our long-term fiscal problem—and that, over the next several decades, it will be a more important contributor than excess cost growth. CBO's new estimates actually attribute a somewhat larger share of the problem to demographics than Concord's did. Meanwhile, in other recent reports, the CBO has thrown cold water on the notion that painless efficiency gains can achieve substantial health-care savings.
With health-care legislation on hold over the August recess, it's a good time to step back and reexamine the basic
premises behind the push for reform. In our next issue, we will look more closely at the claim that reform can painlessly "bend the health cost curve." But first, we want to focus attention on CBO's new estimates of the impact of aging on the budget. They make it clear that health-care reform alone, even if it is successful at controlling costs, cannot substitute for a broader strategy of entitlement reform.
Simple Arithmetic
Let's start with the latest long-term entitlement projections. According to the CBO, federal spending on Medicare
and Medicaid will nearly double from 5.3 percent of GDP in 2009 to 9.7 percent in 2035—then triple to 17.2 percent in 2080, the CBO's projection horizon. Meanwhile, spending on Social Security will grow from 4.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 6.0 percent in 2035 and 6.1 percent in 2080. All told, we are looking at an extra 5.6 percent of GDP in spending on the three major entitlement programs over the next 25 years and an extra 13.2 percent over the next 70 years.
There is no dispute that the explosive growth in Medicare and Medicaid accounts for most of the increase. But how much of this growth is due to demographic aging and how much to excess growth in health costs? To answer this question, we need to take into account two distinct demographic drivers: the growth in the number of elderly relative to the total population, or what we might call the "age wave" effect, and the rising average age of the elderly, often referred to as the "aging of the aged." The growth in the number of elderly adds to spending by increasing the number of federal beneficiaries, totally apart from any increase in per capita health costs. The rising average age of the elderly also adds to it by increasing average costs per beneficiary. It does so because per capita health costs rise steeply with age, even among the elderly themselves.
We must also agree on a benchmark for what constitutes "normal" growth in average costs per beneficiary at any given age—that is, in the age-adjusted cost per beneficiary. The usual benchmark, used by both the CBO and the Medicare Trustees, is the rate of growth in per capita GDP. One justification for the benchmark is that much of healthcare spending consists of labor-intensive services, and so can be expected to increase along with income. Another is that, in a population with a stable age structure, health-care spending will remain unchanged as a share of GDP if the ageadjusted per capita cost rises at the same rate as per capita GDP.
With this benchmark, assessing the impact of demographic aging is a simple matter of arithmetic. According to the new CBO report, it will account for 44 percent of the growth in Medicare and Medicaid between now and 2035. Including Social Security, whose growth is entirely driven by demographic aging, it will account for 64 percent of the total growth in entitlements between now and 2035. As the CBO points out, this should surprise no one. After all, the number of Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries will roughly double over the next 25 years as the massive baby boom generation reaches old age.
Beyond the next 25 years, excess cost growth looms larger in the projections. Between now and 2080, the CBO calculates that demographic aging will account for 30 percent of the growth in Medicare and Medicaid. Including Social Security, it will account for 44 percent of the total growth in entitlements—still an important driver, but no longer the dominant one. This too is hardly surprising. Any excess cost growth, if it continues long enough, will eventually swamp the demographics—and the CBO assumes that excess cost growth will continue at a blistering pace for decades to come.
The Necessity of Entitlement Reform
The key conclusion of the new CBO report is that demographics will play a far more important role than excess cost growth in driving up entitlement spending over the next 25 years. The fact that excess cost growth ultimately overtakes demographics in importance is significant, but less relevant, since the impact of demographics threatens to overwhelm the budget long before that happens. This fact was obscured by the 2007 CBO report, which not only understated the impact of demographics on health-care spending, but prominently highlighted the projection results for the out years, when the contribution of demographics is smallest.
Focus a moment on the magnitude of the demographic challenge. Over the next 25 years, the aging of America alone will add 3.6 percent of GDP to federal spending— almost the equivalent of today's entire domestic discretionary budget. Or look at the challenge another way. Nearly half of the projected increase in the cost of Medicare and Medicaid between now and 2035 is due to demographicaging. This means that nearly half of the increase is needed simply to keep delivering the same level of care to each beneficiary, at each age, as we do today. As for Social Security, all of the projected increase is needed to deliver benefits that—due to the hike in the normal retirement age— will actually be less generous than today's.
The demographics themselves are set in stone over the next 25 years, since everyone who will become eligible for benefits is already alive and can be counted. The only way to reduce demographically driven spending growth is to change the terms of the current benefits deal—for instance, by raising eligibility ages, indexing benefits to life expectancy, or means-testing them. In other words, the only way is to enact a broad strategy of entitlement reform.
The Painful Prescription
None of this is to say that excess cost growth in Medicare and Medicaid is unimportant—or that it is impossible to design reforms capable of controlling it. But it is vital to understand that this growth is driven by forces nearly as
ineluctable as the demographics themselves. There are the ongoing advances in medical testing, screening, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and surgery that are pushing up the cost of the research, technology, and skilled labor underlying every medical visit. There is also the steady rise in the standard of "health" that Americans expect their doctors and hospitals to deliver, which now includes everything from good looks and good sex to a better mood and a better golf swing.
Yes, it is well documented that there is much waste in the U.S. health-care system. And yes, computerized medical records, outcomes research, and the enforcement of best-practice guidelines could surely eliminate some of it without sacrificing quality of care. But here too the CBO has recently sounded a cautionary note by pointing out that this savings is highly uncertain and, even if it materializes, will only kick in gradually over many decades.
"The painful prescription," to borrow Brookings scholar Henry Aaron's apt phrase, is inescapable. Reducing health costs substantially beneath current projections will require denying payment to some patients and some providers, whether directly or indirectly, for some services they would otherwise want. In the next issue we will look at what this means for health-care reform and why neither party is facing up to the truth.

Dear Auntie Lucy,
I've just started in a new school with a policy that all new teachers must be observed.
I'm absolutely terrified. I've only ever been observed on my certificate course where everything was graded and I failed one of them. I'm afraid I'll lose my job. Can I refuse to be observed?

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond rallied to beat rival GW, 18-17, Friday afternoon at Robins Stadium.
The Colonials threatened late when they had the ball with 20 seconds left, but a costly turnover and ground ball by Richmond sealed the win.
Sam Stevenson and Caitlin Fifield led Richmond with an impressive five goals each. Stevenson continued her A-10 tear with three assists to the cause for a team-high eight points.
The competitive, close game never saw either team lead by more than two goals. The score was tied seven times. Richmond trailed 10-9 at the break, but scored three pivotal goals to open the second frame to gain momentum at 12-10 with 24 minutes left in the game.
Following Stevenson and Fifield's scoring brilliance was Mary Flowers' hat trick. Flowers also had a head-turning 10 draw controls, four ground balls and caused four turnovers. Freshman Janie Penney recorded nine draw controls, while classmate Emily Doyle added four assists.
Victoria Roebuck had a game-high 13 saves, including nine in the second half. Richmond won the draw, 24-13.
The Spiders return to action next Friday, Apr. 15 at Robins Stadium as they take on the Explorers of La Salle. Richmond will be honoring Friends of Jaclyn honoree Katie Schools before the game. First draw is at 4 p.m.

By Megan Walsh, GoHeels.com
Last season, head coach Sylvia Hatchell thought she was lucky if the Tar Heels hit more than 80 possessions in one game. With a host of injuries and an ever-evolving lineup, the women's team was held to very basic basketball.
But this year, North Carolina is far from boring. As the Tar Heels prepare for the Preseason WNIT that begins Friday, when UNC plays Davidson at 5 p.m. in Carmichael Arena, Hatchell really likes what she's seeing.
"We've got bodies, and we're more athletic," Hatchell said. "We've got more stability in positions and what we can do. With all the injuries last year and moving people around we had to stay very, very basic. We couldn't do a lot of the traps and rotations and jump defenses.
"We just couldn't play like we wanted to play, to keep people out of their comfort zones and surprise elements and stuff like that."
Playing at a new clip, the Tar Heels averaged 120 possessions in their opening two exhibition games last week. With a quick tempo and a more aggressive offense, this team is full of surprises, said Hatchell.
"We're fast," senior point guard Tierra Ruffin-Pratt said. "We're athletic and able to get up and down the court a lot quicker than we have been since I've been here. It's one of the fastest teams I've been on. It's better for us. It's less of a set-up game and more of a running game."
UNC's roster is young, but a trio of senior leadership in Ruffin-Pratt, center Waltiea Rolle and guard Krista Gross is keeping the Tar Heels' underclassmen in experienced hands.
"It's going really well because we've got people in different positions," Gross said. "We've got (Tierra) as a point guard leader, then we've got Waltiea in the post and then I'm a wing guard, so we've got every position covered with leadership."
Freshman forward Xylina McDaniel pointed to that leadership as the biggest aid to her adjustment to college play so far, as well as UNC's trip to Europe this summer. McDaniel, who Hatchell calls 'The Beast,' and sophomore guard Brittany Rountree are likely to complement the three seniors in the starting lineup this weekend.
"We are a pretty young team, but the upperclassmen have helped us so much from the summer until now, so we're adjusting pretty well," McDaniel said. "Playing in Europe helped a lot. We got to get a feel for each other outside of practice in a real game situation. We saw what the competition would sort of look like on a higher level and we just got a head start on everyone else."
And that head start will be put to good use in the Preseason WNIT Tournament. The Tar Heels last played in the tournament four years ago and won it, which Hatchell called a "tremendous experience." With a tough first-round matchup in Davidson this year, the Tar Heels will be tested right off the bat.
"It should be a really good game," Hatchell said. "They were the best in the (Southern Conference) last year and were preseason picked number one. They've got a big girl, they've got a shooter, they've got a point guard, they've got experience. They're going to have a really good team."


text: The question of scouting does come into the picture, though. If JMax continues to get a good number of minutes, how are the other teams going to adjust to him? And how will he handle that? I guess this is something we won't be able to answer fully until it happens in the playoffs, where matchups and adjustments play a bigger role than they do in the hectic travel-filled regular season.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks everyone for your experience and advise. In the end I decided to on a GORI 3 blade folding prop from AB Marine and after a season in service I am very happy with the additional speed under sail. Under power, the over drive feature is great getting around 6-6.2 knots @ 1500 RPM on my 72hp Mercedes Diesel.
Have emailed AB Marine on a couple of accassions to enquire about blade size but no response - perhaps an indicator for future service performance ?
All in all, very happy with my GORI prop.
I have a folding prop. It works well. What can I say!
I have an Autoprop on my Catalina 42. AB Marine had rebuilt the prop in 2007. In May of 2009 and 225 hours later a blade came off. Buntons Marine replaced the blade for $1500. I had it lubricated every six months. I am always in deep water. It never touched anything but saltwater. I only go to Catalina and back. Other than the lost blade there was not any evidence of damage or distress.
At the time Steve Armitage of AB Marine told me that losing a blade was a rare occurrence and that he did not have an explanation for why the blade fell off. David Sheppard of Brunton's Propellers Ltd, told me losing a blade is an "an exceptional case". Contrary to their comments the prop has been subject to a recall for lost blades. If you search other support groups and blogs you will find many others that have lost Autoprop blades. It demeans their credibility to say otherwise.
Although I enjoy the performance of my Autoprop my experience with AB Marine and Brunton's Propellers has been extremely disappointing. They are unwilling to stand behind their product. In all their replies I feel like I am hearing from a politician trying not to give a straight answer.

I'm jumping into this discussion a little late but thought I would add some pictures of a Martec. This came with my new (to me) boat. It powers well, reverse is OK but I don't have much experience with it yet. It looks too complicated to me. Service under water looks to be impossible with lots of pins, shims and set screws. Gears will be prone to getting jammed up with marine growth requiring frequent diver attention. Time will tell but I would rather have a Max.

For years I just shut down the engine and left the tranny in neutral, but now I'm shutting down when in forward and then putting it in reverse thinking that maybe there is more friction on the shaft allowing the max prop to feather better. (borg warner velvet drive) ??
Also regarding feathering the prop, the best practice to my knowledge is to stop the engine with the trans in neutral and then once the engine is stopped move the trans to reverse. Once the prop is feathered we put ours back in neutral. The shaft should not be spinning at all at this point.
I like the Gori on my boat and there is no noticeable prop walk and the "overdrive" setting makes motorsailing or motoring in calm seas a lot more efficient, at 2000rpm I hit 6-7 knots and very little diesel usage.
On the downside, I have had 2 run-ins with lines in the water, once a thick fishing trap and another time last month I ran over my own dinghy painter. In both cases the rope cutter did an admirable job of cutting away the rope remnants but in both cases the Gori was partially fouled and unbalanced and wasn't fully functional until I dove on it and removed the blockage.

With regard to adjusting pitch without disassembly they do offer a version that allows that [costs more]. We elected not to go with that model and to this day not sure whether that was correct choice or not. We have the prop slightly over pitched on purpose [higher speed/lower RPM] but our engine is oversized for the boat so this is not an issue. It would be nice at times to be able to jump in and either reduce or increase pitch depending on whether we are passage-making or just local sailing where less pitch would give us less prop walk.
There is no perfect solution, however the service / support we have always received from PYI was great.

Battle of the giants
Draft forward or pull on both hands. Which wave sail fits to me best, my sailing style and my board? The latest (board-) developments make it necessary to offer more than one radical wave sail. To understand the differences, the fundamental aspects will be highlighted.
VOLT - single-fin
When going down the line a single-fin wave board wants to be "carved" mainly over your front foot and the rail. This requires high speed, full commitment and a very high skill level. Also you need to stand quite upright over the rail during the bottom turn. Therefore you need a sail with a slightly higher draft position to "force" you into an upright position. In addition the sail needs to go completely neutral during the turn. To achieve this the draft is positioned quite far forward. As a result the sail develops nearly no pull on the backhand and remains completely unaffected when sheeting in or out. On the other hand such sails are more sophisticated to sail, as the sailor does not get back any "feedback" (e.g. when over-sheeting). Also you simply have less to "hold on to".
HERO - multi-fin
With the trend moving towards multi-fin wave boards the down the line surfing style has remarkably changed. In contrary to single-fin wave boards, multi-fin wave boards don't get "carved" over the rail but instead get much more turned through the fins. The angular momentum for the bottom turn is now initiated through sheeting in your sail. To do this you need a sail that gives the rider a certain "feedback" triggering the turn. This means a sail with a draft position being further back and therefore pull on both hands. This pull on both hands has further advantages: As an advantage this pull on both hands means you have something to "hold on to" giving you extra balance/stability (which also counts for flat water sailing on single-fin boards). Also you can rig one size smaller as the further draft back profile produces more low-end power. Another advantage of this new sailing style is that the bottom turn is initiated at much lower speeds which makes it much easier especially for entry level wave sailors. On the other hand pros now can surf much closer to the impact zone. During the bottom turn you do not have to stand upright over the rail anymore but can remain in a natural slightly tucked position. Therefore compared to the VOLT our 4-batten wave sail HERO not only has a slightly further back but also lower draft position, which helps the high-end control.

Michael Shannon stars as notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski in this biopic from director Ariel Vromen (Rx, Danika). To his loving wife Deborah (Winona Ryder) and their growing family, Kuklinski was a caring father. But he was also a man with a dark secret and an unusual talent for covering his tracks. For nearly three decades starting in the 1950s, the suburban family man worked as one of the Gambino crime family's chief executioners, earning the nickname "Iceman" for his use of freezers in obscuring the forensic details of his victim's deaths. By constantly varying his methods, Kuklinski made it virtually impossible for investigators to assemble an accurate profile of the killer credited with taking over 100 lives. A protégé of seasoned assassin Robert "Mister Softee" Pronge (Chris Evans), the elusive contract killer struggles to reconcile his relationship with his sociopathic brother Joseph (Stephen Dorff) while nurturing a close friendship with his Gambino contact Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta). Then, in 1986, an arrest brings Kuklinski's violent career to a sudden end. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Brookline man hopes to help fathers of disabled children
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | October 04. 2013 8:42PM
And sometimes, he said, he found himself a lonely voice in a chat room full of women who were not particularly happy with the men in their life.
He also discovered that men faced a kind of reverse-sexism when it came to caring for disabled children. When Alexander was six months old, he had to have a serious operation at a Boston hospital. Dietz went to his boss and told him he would need to take the day off to be with his son and was told that he didn't need to go to the hospital because the child's mother would be there.

If you weren't running this show.......you'd have only 398 likes.
Can't fault the effort. Very enjoyable game. I had way less an issue with Artest's flagrant foul than I did Charlie's earlier this year. Big teams seem to give the Pistons the most trouble now. The Lakers were ready to play in this one. Kudos to them. The Pistons will give the Knicks a game tomorrow night. Did Stuckey ever come back in after he subbed out in the first half? It didn't seem like he played much.
World Peace on Brandon Knight:
what an idiot, does he even know what hes saying? That 1 brain cell he has must be sooooooo lonely
I missed the play, but BK7 said World Peace punched him and that the league needs to review it.
well from the replay I saw MWP aka dumbass basically headlocks BK after the foul is called on Moose and BK is trying to get his head out and MWP brings his left hand under and right up into BKs head but with an open hand/ kinda like a backhand uppercut. Its fairly obvious and with his past I would defenitely expect a fine from head office on review.
We have Capp Spayce and expiring contracts to make that happen!
Saw a highlight of it, and I'd call it a soft punch. Anything harder and it would have been a fight and he'd have been tossed. Artest is dirty; he's liable to pull something like that at a few times a year. I hope they fine/suspend him, given his history. Good on Brandon for not letting Artest push him around under the rim.
That was one of the more one way altercations I've ever seen. Knight finally used his elbow to try to get out of Artest's headlock before he would have surely been mounted and put in some sort of arm bar submission hold. Artest is probably lucky that Maxiell wasn't watching or he might have started Malice II. On our final play of the 1st half, I was a little disappointed that Monroe touched up the over and back with time on the clock. A little more awareness would have caused him to hold off for .4 seconds. What a game though. We were the 49ers and they were the Ravens in terms of the dynamics. Their goal line stand barely held us off. Such a shame that Drum couldn't have got 2 hands on the final play and returned the favor for the game winner. I can't imagine what GM's out there wouldn't give up their 2nd best player for him straight up without salary ramifications. Probably 15-20 teams out there that would swap their top player.
Thanks for posting that vid. I missed the game, checked into ESPN, and only saw Lakers highlights. The only Pistons highlight they showed was Chaz. Lame. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Great decision to pass by Dre. It's sad to see that on 2 fastbreaks he initiated tonight that he was sensing that he'd be intentionally fouled and eased up at the ends. At least with this one he made a perfect pass. What a stuff from a PG too.
Interesting game : The team showed a lot of heart by comming back from 18 points and nearly get this one. Dre is impressing me every game a little bit more : too bad he can't grad this ball at the end. What was intersting was the rythm of the game. I don't know if it is the Tay effect but the team was running a lot, much more than the previous games. We have the players to do that and BK or Stuck are way more efficient in transition. On the dark side, we can't have Will holding the ball in the 4th. He has been excelent of the bench this year but, as a rebuilding process, you can't rely on him on a regular basis. I'd rather have BK, or Greg take responsability at the end. But the first one was not involved and the second was waiting on the bench... I really looking forward seeing Jose play his first game : he will give a lot of easy bucket to Greg, Dre and cie... At the opposite of some person here, I am still positive about the issue this season : We can still grad the 8th pick in the East although we have a tough schedule upcomming, starting with the NY game. Let's hope we won't see a blowout like the first two games against the knicks
NOT having Tayshaun Prince in the lineup is good for around 10 more assists per game. The ball movement seems much better the last 2 games. It will get even better when Jose takes the wheel. Without Tay, this team is already much more fun to watch. ...addition by subtaction.
I hate going to Will Bynum down the stretch, but the truth is......... he's our best option. I still find it laughable that people actually think that Brandon can play SG, he will struggle mightily at that position.
Knight won the respect of Ronald Artest, so maybe he's tough enough to guard NBA 2's. On offense, he can play the SG position exactly like he was playing the point. In fact, Frank should tell him that he's keeping the starting PG position and then whisper to Calderon that he is really playing the position. They'll both be happy and Knight will never have to know the truth.
Knight is fast becoming the best defensive guard we have on the roster. He's already better than Stuckey and Bynum IMO. A Knight-English backcourt is the best defensive one we have right now.
Great game to watch, just a pity we couldn't pull it out in the end. Another really nice game from Singler - did a great job guarding Kobe. Good game from Bynum too, but pity on the last play he went off the high glass as it seemed there was room for Dre, but this didn't cost us the game. Good game all round, but two real negatives: 1. The missed bunnies at the rim. We must be the worst in the league at this - is there any way to find stats on shots missed under 2 feet? 2. JJ's defence. Don't know what is going on as he is playing his better position at the 3 but is just not switched on and it cost a number of easy baskets, including that alley-oop at half time. That was just horrible and he just walks off like everyone missed an assignment.
Detroit Pistons team stats for the 2012-2013 season from 82games.com This is a decent place to start looking. Bunnies isn't a defined category, but you can piece it together a bit from other categories. My intuition is that Maxiell and Drummond's finishing ability makes our blended finishing rate at least average, even if it is true that we blow other opportunities. Overall, our blended FG% is better than our opponents. It looks like we are better shooters and slightly worse in the paint overall. That should change as Drum's minutes increase. While on that page, some other interesting tidbits: We have taken 97 charges and only dished out 87. We have a ton more ball handling turnovers than our opponents (Knight and Monroe are the culprits I would imagine).

I am so excited to be bringing you this site! Have you ever wanted to learn how to program? I have, and to be honest I've been less than satisfied with the resources I've found online and always end up quitting. The creators of this site were also unsatisfied with the resources available online and created Code Academy where you learn to program through interactive coding lessons.
What I really love is that you can try the academy out before you sign up and you can do so directly from the main page. To get started type your name (or how you want to be addressed) inside quotation marks in the grey box; for example, I would type "Amanda" and then press enter. It will then present you with your next set of directions, keep following the directions and work your way through this example lesson on coding.
Once you've worked your way through the lesson, the last prompt that you'll be given is a blue link to "Start the next one". Click that link to continue. You can work through the second lesson too without registering. By then you should have a good idea if this is something you want to learn or not. If you do want to continue click the green Register (it's Free) button and you'll be whisked away to the registration form.
The registration form offers you the form to fill out with a working e-mail address and then you'll have to create a password, or you can choose to f-connect and use your Facebook information to sign in. Honestly I just f-connect when I have the option, it's so much easier than having to remember yet another username and unique password.
Once you've signed back in, the real fun begins! Now you'll want to click on course and then click the green Start Here arrow to begin with the introductory classes. You'll have to work through the example lessons you did earlier again, but this shouldn't take you long since you're familiar with what you should be doing. You can click the Show Hint button on the left side whenever you're stuck with a step, and now as you complete the courses you'll earn points and badges.
This is a fun and interactive way to learn to code! Check it out today!
