World News - Police find 11 bodies near Baghdad school
Iraqi police found 11 bodies near a school in southwestern Baghdad's al-Turah neighborhood on Tuesday morning, Iraq's Interior Ministry said. The men were blindfolded, had their hands tied behind their backs and showed signs of torture. According to the ministry, Iraqi police were working to identify the bodies. Meanwhile, a U.S. soldier was killed Monday in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, a military statement said. According to the military, the soldier was assigned to the Army's Regimental Combat Team 7 and "died from wounds sustained due to enemy action." Since the start of the war, there have been 2,623 U.S. military fatalities in Iraq. Seven American civilian contractors of the military also have died in the conflict. Iraq's Defense Ministry sent reinforcements to the southern city of Diwaniya after weekend clashes between government troops and followers of a radical Shiite cleric left more than 60 dead, Iraqi and U.S. military officials said....

Rumsfeld: U.S. able to take new fight despite Iraq
U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned potential adversaries on Monday that the United States remained capable of responding to military threats at home and abroad, despite its troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We are capable of dealing with other problems were they to occur," he told troops at an airfield in the Nevada desert."It would be unfortunate if other countries thought that because we have 136,000 troops in Iraq today, that we're not capable of defending our country or doing anything that we might need to do," he said in response to a question about military options for dealing with Iran.More than three years into the Iraq war, the military is showing signs of stress. The Army and Marine Corps, in particular, must spend tens of billions of dollars to replace and repair equipment. Army officials have said the combat readiness of many units and their ability to take on new missions have suffered....

At least 100 die as militia force Iraqi troops out of town
At least 100 people were killed across Iraq yesterday in a day of intense gun battles and suicide bombings, contradicting US military claims that the security situation in the war-torn nation was improving. A total of 34 bodies, including seven civilians and 25 Iraqi government soldiers, were brought into the central hospital in the town of Diwaniyah, 80 miles south of Baghdad, after fighting between government forces and gunmen of the Mehdi Army, a Shia militia loyal to the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Fifty militiamen were also killed in the gunfight, according to the Iraqi defence ministry.In a separate development, a suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into the Interior Ministry in Baghdad during the midmorning rush hour, killing 16 people, including 13 policemen, and wounding up to 62....

Bushs Get-Out-Of-Court-Free Card News: What exactly is a state secret, and who gets to decide?
The state secrets privilege was first established as a legal precedent in 1953, when three widows sued the government for damages after their husbands died in the crash of a military aircraft. The government claimed that it could not produce the accident report without seriously hampering national security. Fifty years later, when documents related to the incident were declassified, the widows and their families learned that the government had not been protecting state secrets, but simply covering up poor maintenance. So began the checkered history of a legal sledgehammer that many claim threatens the core of constitutional democracy. In many cases, the governments claims that documents relevant to the case contain state secrets have never been examined by a judge, and no suit where the nuclear option was deployed has ultimately prevailed. The list of state-secrets cases combines the fantastical, the bizarre, and the merely seamy. ...

Kurdish separatists claim deadly attack on popular holiday resorts
Eight British people remained injured in hospital in the Turkish holiday resort of Marmaris last night, following a wave of bomb attacks on the country's Mediterranean coastline and in Istanbul, which left at least three dead. The attacks, claimed by a Kurdish separatist group, were aimed at damaging the area's tourist industry.Foreign Office officials were still urgently attempting to find out if any British people were among those caught up in the latest and most serious blast at Antalya, which occurred yesterday afternoon, only hours after the explosions in Marmaris, further west along the coast. A spokesman said the early indications were that no Britons were involved....

Flushed Pink iPod Clogs South Bay University Toilets
The toilets at the Santa Clara University are flowing freely this graduation week, but that was not the case for the entire spring semester. A pink iPod Mini, just four inches long, caused a huge headache for maintenance workers at the Santa Clara University for the last few months. A female student accidentally dropped the iPod in the toilet. This happened at the College of Arts and Sciences building. It got stuck in a way that maintenance crews could not get it out. They told NBC11 News they first tried to break the iPod into pieces, but that failed. One maintenance worker called the device "indestructible". An independent contractor was called in to deal with the problem. He was able to get the iPod to move 20 feet, but then it became stuck again underneath the office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences. ...

While you are probably familiar with certifications related to energy and water efficiency, you may not know dishwashers can also be certified to sanitize glassware, dishes and cookware.
Certification to NSF/ANSI Standard 184
Next to handwashing, proper cleaning and sanitizing of kitchen work surfaces used for handling and preparing food are probably the most important ways to protect against foodborne illness at home. In fact, a 2011 germ study conducted by NSF found that the germiest place in most homes wasn't the bathroom, but the kitchen.
While it's important to regularly clean and sanitize kitchen countertops and sinks, the dishes and cookware used to prepare and serve food also need to be properly cleaned and sanitized between each use.
One of the ways to effectively clean and sanitize dishes is to use a dishwasher certified to NSF/ANSI 184: Residential Dishwashers. This standard helps confirm that a residential dishwasher can achieve a minimum 99.999 percent or 5-log reduction of bacteria when operated on the sanitizing cycle.
In addition to confirming the unit's ability to sanitize dishes and cookware, NSF/ANSI 184 also establishes minimum design and performance requirements related to cleaning effectiveness. NSF uses over 100 pounds of cherry pie filling to test the cleaning effectiveness of residential dishwashers each year.
Comparison of NSF/ANSI 184 to NSF/ANSI 3
NSF/ANSI 3 establishes design, construction, material and performance requirements for commercial dishwashers used in restaurants and other facilities subject to public health inspections, while NSF/ANSI 184 sets requirements for residential dishwashers:
Residential Dishwashers (NSF/ANSI 184)
• Must achieve a minimum 99.999 percent or 5-log reduction of bacteria
• Must reach a final rinse temperature of 150º F
• Sanitization performance is verified only when the unit is operated on the sanitizing cycle
Commercial Dishwashers (NSF/ANSI 3)
• Must achieve a minimum 99.999 percent or 5-log reduction of bacteria
• Must reach a final rinse temperature of 165°F for stationary rack dishwashers and180º F for all other commercial style dishwashers
If you are in the market for a new home dishwasher and sanitization performance is important to you, give yourself peace of mind and look for a dishwasher that is NSF certified to NSF/ANSI 184.

Greenfield police officer resigns amid racy text messages
Police chief: Case did not rise to crime level
A Greenfield police officer who resigned amid a sexting scandal had a history of misconduct on the job, according to documents obtained from the Greenfield Police Department.
The documents indicate the 29-year-old officer, who WISN 12 News has declined to name as he was not charged with a crime, faced allegations that ranged to improperly inventorying evidence to a fight that led to a suspension.
WISN obtained the officer's entire file after a woman came forward with dozens of sexually explicit text messages he sent her in August while he was supposed to be investigating her for theft.
After apparently questioning the Greenfield woman in the theft case, he later contacted her through his work and personal cell-phones.
One night a conversation lasted until 4 a.m. The text messages started off as friendly. The officer asked her for a picture. She sent him one wearing a sports bra. He wrote back, "That picture definitely has my imagination running."
From there, his texts became graphic and he eventually sent her nude pictures. After the woman complained to the department about the officer's inappropriate behavior, authorities started an investigation into his conduct.
Investigators went through his work locker and discovered small bags of K2, a synthetic marijuana substance which is illegal to possess.
They also found several wallets, identification cards, brass knuckles, an illegal knife and several professional team jerseys from a counterfeit sports apparel case he was working on.
The officer resigned shortly after the investigation at the beginning of September.
The Greenfield police chief would not go on camera, but told WISN the case did not rise to the level of a crime so it was not referred to the district attorney.
The case, officials said, is now closed.

As Facebook prepares for its $5 billion IPO later this year, every aspect of the company's business is coming under scrutiny.
In its S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Facebook was forced to reveal several hidden truths, including its revenue, what it deems as a threat to its business and how it plans to make money moving forward.
One non-profit decided to dive deeper than the raw data and look at a simple fact: How many women does Facebook have on its board?
The answer from New York-based Catalyst was zero.
Despite pushing Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg as the face of the company in recent months, Facebook does not have one woman on its board, according to the report.
That's in stark contract to most Fortune 500 companies. Of all those listed, only 11.3 percent of those companies did not have a woman on the board.
"It doesn't make sense for a company that claims to be so forward looking to not have any women directors," Anne Mulcahy, a former chairman and chief executive officer of Xerox Corp., told Bloomberg. "If they just have an old boy's network in the boardroom, they won't have access to diverse ideas and strategies."
Companies, such as Google, Apple and LinkedIn all have at least one woman on the board.
Facebook's Board Has No Women
As Facebook prepares for its $5 billion IPO later this year, every aspect of the company's business is coming under scrutiny.

Martinez says he was tempted to use steroids when he was with the Dodgers, trying to get to and establish himself in the major leagues. However Pedro declined the drugs not because it was cheating, but because he was told that "there are certain areas of a man that will get damaged". Once Martinez made it to the bigs,
I was never interested. I was so willing to prove to everybody that I could do it. ... I wanted to prove everybody so wrong. I finally did it. I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.Talking about not winning the MVP in either 1999 or 2000 and the fact that Justin Verlander won the AL MVP in 2011, Martinez hints that racism was involved and singles out two BBWAA writers - George King and LaVelle Neal III - who actually left Martinez completely off their 1999 MVP ballots. (King explained that he felt pitchers should not be eligible for the MVP, even though he voted for two pitchers, David Wells and Rick "4.41 ERA" Helling, the year before. No one else listed Helling on a ballot.)
I was kind of pissed off at first [when Verlander won], but then I went to realize that [the voters] are going to have to live with that label on their back. If anyone calls them prejudiced or racist for not voting for me, everyone will have to understand that it's their responsibility for not voting for me at that time. I feel kind of bad, but at the same time, I was really happy that the pitchers who really deserved it like Justin finally got the monkey off their backs ... Now, after, what, 11 years [since 1999], I see that they finally voted for another pitcher. Guess what: That pitcher is American. I was a Dominican-born player. That made me feel kind of awkward about it. If you compare my numbers to Justin's, not taking anything from what he did, my numbers were way better.Pedro also talks about his 17-strikeout, one-hitter against the Yankees in 1999 (New York hit only eight fair balls that night), his relief effort against Cleveland that October, and (yes) Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
I'm a Bostonian. I consider myself a Bostonian. I believe my best years, my most important years, were in Boston. Part of my heart is in Boston. The other part is with my family and my own interests. I don't have anything bad to say about my years in Boston. Honestly speaking, which is not very often that you'll have an All-Star speaking honestly, I love Boston. I miss Boston. I miss the fans. I love the fans. I loved living in Boston. I'm actually thinking about selling my house in New York and buying back in Boston to actually go back.Listen.

Q: How to disable an item?
A: Tree items do not have enabled/disabled states. That means that you can stop searching for a function called 'SetItemEnabled()', because it does not exist. You have to simulate this by your own. Let's outline what you need to do in order to 'disable' an item:
- You need to mark that item as 'disabled'. As the tree control itself doesn't help here, you need to reserve a flag in the underlaying structure of each item. You will use 'SetItemData()' and 'GetItemData()' to set and retrieve this structure for each item.
- You need to give some visual feedback to your user that the item is disabled. The easiest solution is to use a special (grayed) icon for the item. You can refine this approach up to changing the items color or font, as presented in this CodeGuru article.
- You need to prevent some operations on that item, like expanding, selecting, dragging it or dropping on it. We assume that for each item you have correctly set an underlaying data structure called 'CItemStruct', and this has a boolean member 'm_bDisabled'.
Code://Preventing selection: (handle TVN_SELCHANGING) void CYourDialog::OnSelchangingTree(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) { NM_TREEVIEW* pNMTreeView = (NM_TREEVIEW*) pNMHDR; if(((CItemStruct *) m_tree.GetItemData(pNMTreeView->iNewItem))->m_bDisabled) { *pResult = 1; return; } *pResult = 0; }
Handle the same way:
- 'TVN_ITEMEXPANDING' to prevent expanding. (be sure to collapse items prior to disabling them!)
- 'TVN_BEGINDRAG' to prevent dragging that item
- 'TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT' to prevent editing it
- and so on.

Leasing lag?
During the past two years, the Bureau of Land Management has been offering less land for oil and gas leasing in Wyoming. The trend is due largely to market conditions -- a reflection of low current and future oil and gas prices -- but energy experts also cite a surplus in non-producing acreage, an increase in the number of protests (the BLM is still sorting through a two-year backlog), and uncertainty over recent and pending endangered species listing decisions, such as the sage grouse. The change in administration has also been an important factor. While the Bush administration encouraged leasing on many sensitive landscapes, Obama is pushing agencies to take a more thoughtful approach to how much land goes up for sale.

A University Place man, Leandre Garner, has been charged by the attorney general's office with felony insurance fraud and second-degree attempted theft for filing a bogus claim with State Farm.
On Nov. 8, 2012, Garner got coverage online with the company for his 2007 Chrysler 300. Prior to that date, the vehicle was uninsured.
On Nov. 9, 2012, Garner said, he returned home from an appointment and discovered that his car had been hit by an unknown vehicle. The damage was estimated at $4,339. Garner filed a claim.
The problem: half a dozen people subsequently told investigators from State Farm and our Special Investigations Unit that Garner's car was damaged well before November. His ex-girlfriend said it happened around September, not November. A nearby tenant, an apartment office worker and an apartment groundskeeper also said the accident happened well before Nov. 8. So did the body shop that did the estimate.
Asked if he'd taken photos of the damage, Garner showed a State Farm investigator cell phone images he'd taken. He was surprised when the investigator pointed out that the metadata embedded in the images showed that they'd been taken Sept. 19, 2012.
When asked about this, Garner said that the must be a problem with the phone.
Arraignment is scheduled for Pierce County Superior Court on Sept. 24, 2013.

Mason Plumlee, Nets stifle Pelicans in win
- The Nets topped the Pelicans 93-81 behind rookie Mason Plumlee%27s career-high 22 points
- The Nets held the Pelicans to 28 first-half points%2C the least they have allowed in a half since 2005
- Anthony Davis recorded a game-high 24 points in the loss
NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Mason Plumlee and the reserves were flying high, so Brooklyn's starters took a seat.
Plumlee scored a season-high 22 points and matched his best with 13 rebounds, and the Nets used their best defensive first half in eight years as the springboard for a 93-81 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.
Brooklyn held New Orleans to 28 points in the first 24 minutes, its lowest total since also allowing 28 against the Lakers on Nov. 27, 2005. The Nets were fueled by their reserves, with their top three scorers coming off their bench and no starters finishing in double figures.
"Any time we can rest our older guys — it's no secret we're old, so we look at this as a win in a couple of ways," Plumlee said. "We can rest them and keep them fresh, and going into All-Star break that's good."
Mirza Teletovic had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who improved to 13-5 overall and 9-2 at home in 2014. Alan Anderson scored 13 points in the Nets' first victory in their NBA history with no starters in double figures, according to information provided to them by Elias.
Anthony Davis had 24 points and nine rebounds for the Pelicans, who had won seven of 10. They used big fourth-quarter comebacks to win their previous two games, but fell too far behind to come back in this one.
"First four or five possessions we just didn't run our offense with any kind of zeal the way that we've been running it at home," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said.
The Nets jumped to an 11-0 lead while the Pelicans were missing their first seven shots. Brooklyn shot 65 percent to New Orleans' 25 percent in the period, opening a 29-14 lead on Plumlee's dunk with 40 seconds remaining.
He kept playing above the rim in the second, soaring to catch Jason Terry's alley-oop pass with his right hand and slam it down on a fast break — Terry's 5,000th career assist — and later slamming home the miss of Terry's 3-point attempt to make it 42-21 with 5:02 to go.
Terry, a former Sixth Man of the Year winner, said the reserves were disappointed in their performance the last two games.
"Our job as a bench is to come out and make an impact on the game, and we did that tonight and J-Kidd rewarded us with lengthy playing time," Terry said, referring to coach Jason Kidd. "So felt good, we got the win and we must continue to get better as a unit."
The Pelicans were on an embarrassing pace of a barely a point per minute for most of the half, trailing 48-21 more than 20 minutes in, and the Nets led 51-28 at the break.
New Orleans briefly trimmed it to single digits during a 32-point third quarter, but the Nets quickly finished them off early in the fourth, again with Plumlee and the reserves on the floor.
The Pelicans, who were playing the first of three straight on the road while the NBA readies their arena to host next weekend's All-Star festivities, had easily their worst first half of the season and shot just 56 percent from the foul line for the game.
"We just didn't play (well) tonight," Davis said. "We know it. Coaches know it. Everybody knows it."
Tyreke Evans, the former Rookie of the Year who the Pelicans signed during the offseason, didn't play. Williams called it an "internal" issue.
Brooklyn improved to 9-9 against Western Conference teams, joining Indiana and Miami as only East teams with a .500 or better mark against the stronger side.
The Nets host Charlotte on Wednesday, then play seven straight on the road and aren't back at Barclays Center until March 3.
Notes: Nets center Kevin Garnett had to leave the game early in the third quarter after a foul from Alexis Ajinca drew blood. He returned shortly after with a bandage on the left side of his head. ... Brook Lopez, who was leading the Nets in scoring before he was lost for the season after breaking his right foot again, said he isn't worried about his future. "I'm not scared at all. I'm confident I'm going to get back on the floor and I'm going to do everything I can," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind I'll be out back on that floor playing with my guys." ... New Orleans fell to 13-6 against the East.

I think this episode of The Amp Hour is a nice segue from Makerbot's open/closed source fiasco.
After an introduction about winter and new jobs they discuss the Replicator 2 and Pettis' abysmal message control. Then they talk about how Kickstarter has recently changed their rules for hardware projects.
In the blog post Kickstarter Is Not a Store we find that Kickstarter is getting a little tired of the vaporware shenanigans that have been going on.
Today we're introducing a number of changes to reinforce that Kickstarter isn't a store — it's a new way for creators and audiences to work together to make things…Today we added a new section to the project page called "Risks and Challenges." All project creators are now required to answer the following question when creating their project: "What are the risks and challenges this project faces, and what qualifies you to overcome them?"
Product simulations are prohibited. Projects cannot simulate events to demonstrate what a product might do in the future. Products can only be shown performing actions that they're able to perform in their current state of development. Product renderings are prohibited. Product images must be photos of the prototype as it currently exists.
Offering multiple quantities of a reward is prohibited. Hardware and Product Design projects can only offer rewards in single quantities or a sensible set (some items only make sense as a pair or as a kit of several items, for instance). The development of new products can be especially complex for creators and offering multiple quantities feels premature, and can imply that products are shrink-wrapped and ready to ship.
There's discussion about not allowing simulations over on Core77.
It's possible that Kickstarter changed their rules in response to the LIFX LED lightbulb project. They asked for $100,000 and with 50 days to go they already have $1,311,863. However, they are claiming to be able to build and ship an LED lightbulb, which is something that established manufacturers have failed to do for a long time. It looks like Kickstarter is trying to protect themselves (and their users) from the implication that a project is much farther along then it actually is. Understandably they don't want people dumping a million dollars into a project that simply can't go anywhere because of the laws of physics. Reuters really took a magnifying glass to the LIFX project and their analysis wasn't pretty.

Important Notes:
ALL SERVICES are offered subject to our Terms of Service (TOS) and acceptable content policies. All projects must meet our minimum content requirements and cannot be disseminated with missing/incomplete information. Pricing for this plan is "per release issued" and not a subscription or membership fee.View Requirements
Social Booster Pack
Optional Social Booster Campaign "Add-on":
While Send2Press has always supported social media with every project (starting around 2005), we also now provide simple affordable options to "boost" your placement on the top two social media portals: Facebook and Twitter. These promotions of your news increase verified visibility of your news announcement; they are not designed to promote your website directly, but rather the news announcement, which then leads to your site(s).
What are the costs?
This simple program is designed as an affordable "add-on" for our news distribution packages. For as little as $20 you can add a very basic promoted post campaign on Facebook, which might reach hundreds of people who have previously exhibited an interest in a topic like "crowd funding" or "photo editing" or whatever (you can specify the topics on our Project Form when uploading your release). For local or regional events, we can target one U.S. state, or even a 50-mile radius of a single U.S. city.
Please remember this promotion is intended to promote the news announcement, not your website or FB page directly.
More advanced campaigns provide for promotion on both Facebook and on Twitter. With the campaigns including Twitter you can specify #tags or phrase (e.g., "cookbook" and "chili cookbook" and #newcookbook, etc.). Twitter campaigns typically run 1-3 days depending on budget and popularity of #words actually used (you may select 20 keywords, but as few as five might actually generate views).
What about "free" promotion included with distribution?
With all "National" plans we do provide a free basic paid promotion on Facebook (FB) with a spend amount of $5. The social booster upgrade gives you far more notable targeted promotion by having a larger spend, and therefore much larger potential audience.
What reports are included?
Simple reporting shows information such as number of views, shares, likes; and with Twitter additional metrics like device platform, male/female, and location by U.S. state of the person who viewed the tweet. For those who need it we can also include the U.K. and/or Canada in the "audience" targeting, select only women, and other micro-targets.
Important Notes
The number of views/engagements per campaign is somewhat volatile based on the ongoing evolving nature of promoted/paid content, timelines and newsfeeds on Twitter and Facebook, which is all outside our (or your) control. With Facebook, you can add additional funding once an initial campaign is completed, if desired. Also be aware that if using a new customer or non-profit discount code, this will also reduce the spend amount by the amount of the coupon. You can also add the social booster campaign separate from coupon to maintain the full spend amount, in place of using the add-on option for a single distribution plan. Quantity discounts do not apply to this service (as when buying multi-packs of a single distribution plan).
Add-on Options Information
Some add-ons can be added to your cart at same time as the main service, and these are found top-right of the service page above the "add to cart" button. Be aware that if you order (2) of the main product with any add-on also selected, you will be ordering (2) of the add-on as well (e.g., writing, social boost, etc.).
Options can be added singly from the add-ons "aisle" found here. Some add-ons may only be ordered from the separate aisle due to being excluded from coupon, quantity, and non-profit discount programs.
Social Boost Add-On
See the "tab" above for information on the "social booster pack" add-ons.
Optional Press Release Writing or Revision
Full press release writing is not included with this distribution plan, but may be purchased as an "add on option" for $199. The "full writing" option includes phone interview and multiple drafts, working with an accredited PR pro on staff. One draft and two-draft revision/re-write options also available (does not include phone interview and you must provide the initial draft for use to revise).View Writing Plans
Send2Press Std. Photo(s) Add-On
All distribution plans (except "Econo") include one free photo. With the State/Event plan this will be a web-only image. With larger plans, it can be a 300dpi 4×5 print-ready image (both print/web images must be same). You may optionally add "additional" images from the photo add-on option, if desired (with the one photo add-on, you would have 2 photos; with the 2 photo add-on you would have 3 photos).
Note that most websites and social media will only show ONE image; our main site will show all, and email copies of release would have link to images. Web image prints on page as 500×375 pixels, optimized for mobile, scaled up slightly for desktop users (see our newsdesk/archive for examples).
Premium Plan Add-Ons
Premium Plan Word Length
All Premium level plans have a base word length limit where PRN has an upcharge for every 100 words or fraction over the limit.
- The PLUS plans have a
400500 word limit ($140 per 100 words over).
- The MAX plans have a base 400 word limit ($255 per 100 words over).
- The LITE plans have a 500 word limit ($60 per 100 words over).
If your release is over the limit (everything in the text, headline, dateline, media contact info all count!), then you would need to order the appropriate number of extra words. This is PRN's fee, not ours. PRN changes pricing each March, and so the above cost subject to change, but will be updated from the actual option drop-downs.
Notice: As of Sept. 1, 2016, Send2Press now includes 100 words free with our Premium National PLUS aplan, an instant $140 discount, with no coupon needed. This raises the base word length limit from 400 words to 500 words. NO OTHER COUPONS OR PROMOTIONS CAN BE APPLIED WITH THE WORD LENGTH UPGRADE (includes first time discount, second photo discount, bulk pre-paid agency pack discount, etc.).
Premium Plan PRN Multimedia
For those using our Premium PLUS or MAX plans you have the option to have PRN include a visible image in their network. Send2Press provides a substantial discount over PRN's normal fee for these options. Image should be 300dpi, 7-inches in one dimension.
The LITE plans include one free web resolution image (must be at least 600×400 pixels). Additional images, video option, and Times Square option NOT available with LITE plans.

Kevin was picked in the 3rd round of the 1987 draft by the Portland Trailblazers out of the University of Iowa (where he was a teammate of BJ Armstrong). After just 9 games with the Blazers during the 1988 season, he'd move on to the CBA, where he played for the Quad City Thunder. After heading to the Philippines to play for a month for Anejo Rum (where he averaged almost 50 ppg- yes Gamble was the Wilt Chamberlain of the Philippines in 1988!) , he came back to Quad City and averaged almost 30 ppg. It was during this stretch he began turning heads. The Celtics' Larry Bird was injured and they signed Gamble.
That Celtics team was so much fun to watch. I had a caricature t-shirt of Gamble, Brian Shaw, Reggie Lewis and Dee Brown called "Zip Boys." It was those 4, when blended with the Big 3 (and don't forget Ed Pinckney or Derek Smith who both helped a lot that year) that gave the Celtics a formula for success. "Something old, something new." I still think if they had beaten Detroit that year they could've knocked that Bulls team out. Boston was the most talented team in my opinion in the league that season.
So since he was on the team in 1991 and that was the season I kept my scrapbook, I felt obligated to share my old pictures of him from that year.
Gamble would stick with the Celts through the 1994 season, starting most of 1992 and 1993 as well. Gamble would go on to play for the Heat and Kings after leaving Boston and after 1997, his career was over. Gamble averaged 9.5 points with a 50.2% shooting percentage, with a 36% three point percentage and making 81% of free throws. Over 50% from the field and 80% from the line is very impressive.
A couple interesting things about him. When he got his first start with the Celtics he remembered getting ready to run out there when they were announcing the guards, only to find out he was technically the small forward (at 6'5). He was undersized at that position but he wasn't as good a ball-handler as Reggie Lewis was. He also garnered the nickname "Oscar" from this teammates after baseball player Oscar Gamble. Oscar Gamble had an afro that would make Artis Gilmore proud.
been the head coach of the University of Illinois at Springfield. He was their first head coach in school history. But as of June 28, 2010, Gamble has officially moved on to Providence College of the Big East, where he was named Coordinator of Player Development and Video Operations. He also runs a basketball camp with the 76ers Andre Iguodala. This camp is called the Andre Iguodala / Kevin Gamble Basketball Camp. [Based on this picture, I have my doubts about Andre being 6'7. Even these guys who are listed taller today don't measure up with guys who were shorter back in the day. Do I need to reference this article yet again?]

Baltimore baseball fans flocked back to Camden Yards and merrily decorated themselves in orange and black as the Orioles authored baseball's most surprising story of 2012.
Now, signs abound that the enthusiasm from last fall — when the team broke a 15-year streak of losing records and postseason whiffs — has carried forward to a new season, which starts Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The Orioles' home opener Friday is the second-most-expensive opening-week ticket in the sport. The team's merchandise accounts for three times as much of the Major League Baseball retail market as it did last year. And baseball analysts are discussing the club as a viable contender in the American League East.
The Orioles stand to profit, as do memorabilia merchants and the bars and restaurants near Camden Yards. One new bar, the Deck at Camden Yards, plans to open this week to capitalize on the renewed excitement.
Tickets for Friday's game are selling for an average of $237.04 on the secondary market — a price that is up from $192.61 last year and is the second-highest in baseball behind the world champion San Francisco Giants, according to New-York-based ticket research firm TiqIQ.
Meanwhile, Orioles merchandise sales account for about 3 percent of baseball's U.S. retail market this year, compared to 0.89 percent for the corresponding period in 2012, according to SportsOneSource, a Charlotte, N.C.-based company that analyzes the sporting-goods industry.
Forbes recently estimated the team's value at $618 million, up from $460 million last year, with annual revenues up 15 percent, to $206 million. The Orioles experienced the largest attendance spike in baseball last season and sold out Camden Yards for two playoff games in October. Team officials won't reveal details of season-ticket sales but say that renewal rates and increases in new buyers are among the highest in the last decade.
"We are psyched," said the Rev. Martha Macgill, the rector of Memorial Episcopal Church in Bolton Hill and a new season-ticket holder with her husband. They spent $800 on a 13-game package. "We became obsessed fans last year."
Chris Matcovich, vice president of data for TiqIQ, said that in addition to the steep prices for home opener tickets, average prices for all Orioles games on the secondary market are up about 13 percent from 2012. "It definitely shows that fan sentiment is up this year off their first playoff appearance in a while."
The owners of bars and restaurants around Camden Yards say they're expecting strong business in 2013 after last year's surprise playoff run filled their cash registers in August and September.
"The lightning is in the bottle, and we're holding onto it," said Pat Liberto, owner of the Camden Pub on Pratt Street. "You can't even get a ticket for Opening Day because they're so in demand. I haven't seen it this way since the '90s."
Liberto said increased business on Orioles game days bumped his revenues about $10,000 a month last summer and fall, the time when enthusiasm generally waned during the club's long run of losing.
Fritz Brogan said the excitement was part of the reason he invested in the Deck at Camden Yards, a new outdoor bar at the Hampton Inn across from the stadium. "There's a great sense of pride in Baltimore right now, and we're just riding the wave," he said. "We probably would have pursued this project anyway, but we're much more excited because of the excitement around the team."
"It'll pick up even more once they start playing, but people are definitely excited," he said. "People think this team is legit now."
Of course, to maintain that excitement, the Orioles will have to avoid the dismal play that dispirited fans from 1998 to 2011. Many baseball analysts expect them to take a step back from the 93 games they won last season, arguing that the team's remarkable performance in close games is unsustainable.
But ESPN analyst Buster Olney, who covered the Orioles as a beat writer for the Baltimore Sun during their last heyday, isn't among the skeptics. He believes in the team's pitching depth and manager Buck Showalter's mastery of the bullpen. He also senses genuine faith, both inside the clubhouse and among fans, whom Olney observed massing at the Sarasota spring training complex in search of early-morning autographs.
"I went down there expecting to pick Toronto to win the division," Olney said. "But after I spent a few days with the Orioles, I changed my mind."
No big additions
The club's narrative hasn't been all sunshine since its playoff run ended in October with a loss to the New York Yankees.
Some fans expected the Orioles to capitalize on the positive vibes and greater cash flow by diving into the free-agent market. It never happened.
They re-signed one of last year's most important finds, Nate McLouth, and added a few other players, but never emerged as serious bidders for stars such as outfielder Josh Hamilton or pitcher Zack Greinke.
The club's projected Opening Day payroll of about $92 million represents a modest increase from last year's $84 million. That figure will likely fall below the league average, which was about $100 million in 2012. And the Yankees, a divisional rival, are again expected to spend more than twice as much as the Orioles.
Some rival executives were surprised that the Orioles didn't hit the market more aggressively. But the club wasn't alone in opting to hoard draft picks rather than sacrifice them for big-ticket free agents.
Showalter and Dan Duquette, the club's executive vice president of baseball operations, have maintained that they could have spent more freely but chose not to, given the relative paucity of attractive options. They're hoping for continued development among the team's young pitchers and for healthy seasons from rightfielder Nick Markakis and second baseman Brian Roberts.
"And we've continued to build our pitching staff and our defense, and the core players are young, where they should continue to improve their offensive capabilities," Duquette said.
The Orioles have long been reluctant to promise on-field success in marketing the team. And that won't change at the start of 2013, despite the promise that lingers from last season. The pitch to fans will still focus on the overall excitement of a trip to Camden Yards.
The ballpark won't feature the kind of big, obvious additions that characterized its 20th anniversary in 2012. The new roof-deck bar in center field and especially the unveiling of six new statues of Orioles legends were among last season's highlights.
This year, fans will have to settle for a new warning track made of crushed stone and a few additional food options.
On the plus side, the Orioles did not raise ticket prices or the prices for most food and drink.
'Waiting to be inspired'
The lack of special events, such as the statue unveilings — four of which drew sellout crowds last year — is one of the reasons club officials are cautious about predicting an attendance bump.
The Orioles drew more than 30,000 fans a game as recently as 2005, when they were already deep into their streak of losing seasons. But the average fell all the way to 21,662 in 2010 as hopes of a turnaround faded and the country remained in the grip of a severe economic downturn.
"It's not like they went away," Olney said of the people who packed the ballpark in the years he covered the team. "They were just sort of waiting. Waiting to be inspired."
Sure enough, as a playoff berth seemed more and more realistic, Baltimore delivered large, raucous crowds that lifted the average attendance last season to 26,610, the best since 2007. The 21 percent attendance increase from 2011 was the highest in the major leagues.
The Orioles aren't likely to repeat that spike and pull their average attendance back over 30,000 unless they play even better, said Patrick Rishe, a Webster University economics professor.
"The sustainability of that interest is really dependent on their ability to remain competitive," Rishe said. "If they go back to playing just as badly as before, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those ticket holders cut bait."
A look at the team's history shows that previous surprise years such as 1989 and 1979 produced significant in-season attendance bumps. The Orioles weren't able to replicate those big increases in either case. Still, attendance remained higher than it had before the surprise seasons.
That seems to be roughly what club officials expect in 2013.
"We saw an increase of over 400,000 fans, and I think it's too early to suggest another increase of that level," team spokesman Greg Bader said. "But we're certainly ahead of where we were at this time last season."
