Our goal is ensure that the forum remains a helpful & friendly place to learn about how to run Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, and of course other general banter. We want you to be able to discuss anything and everything here, and to do so we ask that you check out these guidelines for forum use.
Do not upload anywhere else files when developers specifically ask not to. We take this matter very seriously, as developers are the very heart of our community.
No Flaming. This includes racism, threatening, personal attacks, victimization or hateful content. Retaliation will not be tolerated either; if a member has broken a rule, please use the report feature on the forum and the staff will deal with the situation appropriately.
No posting of direct or indirect links to warez or pirated pieces of software, this includes cracks, serials and torrents.
Do not publicly argue the decision of a moderator. If you disagree with a moderator take it up with them in private via PM.
Only one (1) login is allowed per member. Duplicate accounts will be banned or deleted.
Bumping of posts is not permitted. Other than being less annoying it also keeps the posts more informative.
Meaningless and useless posts may be removed at Moderator's discretion.
Only post your post once (1). This keeps the forum cleaner and makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
No advertising or business offers of any kind.
No posting of copyrighted material. This includes copying and pasting news articles from news websites.
Attached materials must come with clear descriptions of what they are and what they do, linking to this information elsewhere is not sufficient.
Materials derived from Open Source must include source code, as well as an explanation of what has been done to it.
Discussion of P2P, torrent sites, or similar download sites of any kind will not be tolerated. We do not want to know your illegal downloading habits.
Do not post spyware or any other malware. This includes linking to other sites which may contain it.
Posting just to promote another site, product, or service (spamming) is not allowed. This site is not here for you to promote your own or anyone else's material.
Discussion of commercial spin-offs of the OSx86 scene is allowed if it's to understand their existence, but no discussion of how to use them, nor any support for these commercial spin-offs are allowed as they are not in the spirit of the OSx86 scene. Example of commercial spin-off: tonymacx86.
Why InsanelyMac does not support tonymacx86 VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! (ABOUT TONYMACX86 AND iATKOS M / Y / EC / SR)
Posting Guidelines
If you have a question please do your best to use the search feature and search the forum before creating a new topic.
Post in the correct forum and read the forum description. This will make sure that your post will not be removed.
Pick an appropriate title and tags (if any) for your post. A good title makes it easier to find what you are looking for. Using informative tags allows for improved searching of related topics.
All posts must be clearly written and easy to read. For example, if you have long blocks of text, use the Code option, etc. Limit "empty lines"
as much as possible, use punctuation where you can and be concise. Posts may be edited for this reasons by InsanelyMac staff at their discretion.
Please remember that you are in a public forum, a bit of courtesy is always welcome. It's always nice to start by saying "Hi" or "Hello" before asking a question or seeking help. Also a "thank you" would be appreciated, especially if the help you get is effective.
Your topic does not deserve any more attention than others seeking help hence topic titles must reflect their content, and topic titles containing things like: 'please help' 'look here' 'cash reward' 'urgent' or other inaccurate descriptions will be removed. This includes all-caps titles.
Give your hardware specs when necessary (asking for support) and any other time where it may be beneficial to have them listed. Watch this video to guide you how to do that: [Video] How to add a signature.
Signatures, Avatars and Nicks
Keep your signature/avatar clean and tidy - should you receive a PM from the staff regarding your signature/avatar, please make the requested alterations or it may be removed/shortened appropriately.
To keep pages loading fast for everyone, we request that your signatures and avatars contain no animations or high-definition graphics of any kind.
Signatures should be no more than 6 lines of text using a regular font. If you can't fit all of your system specs in that you'd like, why not create a small graphic to contain the information?
They should also contain no referral or affiliate program graphics.
Avatars should be in "good taste," a qualification that is broad enough to let us determine what is and isn't. Goth-devil-child-wild-eyed-in-the-violent-blackness probably qualifies as being in bad taste. Nothing offensive, pornographic, or vulgar.
Nicknames must be readable by the system (without question marks). This will ensure that your nickname can be searched, and that other users can contact you. They should also not contain staff member groups (administrator, moderator, developer, etc.) to prevent confusion.
Nicknames should also show respect to the community, thus nothing containing offensive language. Email addresses must be real (nothing like bugmenot or similar). Accounts not in line with the last two rules will be edited or deleted without warning.
Do not publicly discuss the decision of a moderator. If there is any issue with a decision of a staff member PM them or contact an admin.
Moderators have the ability to suspend or impose posting restrictions upon accounts based on the user's history. Records are kept to keep track of user's behavior and point out repeat offenders. Attempts to circumvent posting restrictions will lead to your account being banned, and any other accounts affiliated with your account being banned also.
These rules cover a broad spectrum and are set up to preserve a free and open (and fun) place for discussion. They, in conjunction with common sense and good judgment, should steer you in the right direction. We're all human and we know that people make mistakes... but that's also not an excuse. More rules are subject to appear on this board as we see fit, so please check back from time to time for your own benefit.
Thanks for joining our community and helping make it the best it can be.
In case the rules localizations should differ, the English rules are the standard.

The St. Louis Rams released one offensive lineman and acquired another on Sunday.
"We brought in MILFORD BROWN, who was a free agent," Rams coach SCOTT LINEHAN announced following Sunday morning's session. "He's a right guard who's got five years in the NFL and (last) played at Arizona -- actually played against us last year.
"He'll be in competition there for one of the guard spots on our team. We released (rookie tackle) CHRIS MESSNER to open up a spot." Messner was a free agent acquisition earlier this year out of Oklahoma.
Linehan noted the Rams had evaluated Brown and had given him a good grade. "And you know he's played in the league and played as recently as last year against you, so you have an evaluation as to how he's doing against players that you're pretty familiar with.
"We thought he played pretty well. He's very physical. Kinda got a little mean streak in him, too, and with that size (6 feet 5, 330 pounds) that's a good combination. His offensive line coach last year (Steve Loney, now interim head coach at Drake University) is a good friend of mine. He and I visited for quite a while, and he was really high on him."
Brown, who was released by the Cardinals in June after refusing to take a pay cut, said he was working out in Arizona yesterday when he got the call from St. Louis.
"I didn't know what I was going to do at first," said Brown, who's 26 and started 12 games for Arizona last fall. "I just had to pray about it, man. I figured it would be a good situation for me."
And better than anything he had heard until then.
"A couple teams called, just saying they were interested, but nobody was like, 'OK, we want you right now,'" Brown said. "So I'm very happy about St. Louis calling me. I hope I can get in, get a chance to play a little bit, and help everybody out. I'm just trying to fit in.
"When I got the phone call, I looked at the whole roster; I thought about how we played 'em last year and everything. Basically, I just want to win. So looking at what they did this past offseason, they've really tried to win in a hurry. And that's what I want to do."
Any specific memories of playing against the Rams last year?
"We had some good battles," Brown said with a chuckle. "(Defensive tackle CLAUDE) WROTEN was talking to me today as soon as I walked in. He started talking trash to me like, 'I owe you; I'm gonna get you for one play in particular. We started laughing about it.
"I think he was already falling down and I kind of jumped on his back or something."
JAMES HALL IMPRESSES: Eighth-year defensive end JAMES HALL, brought here in a trade with Detroit to make an impact on the defensive line's performance, has not disappointed Linehan so far.
The coach said his early impression of Hall is "That he's a legit guy on the other side of our other legit guy (defensive end LEONARD LITTLE). I don't know what else to say right now; it's early in camp, and I'm excited as anybody to have James Hall on our football team."
BENNETT, TOO: Linehan says seventh-year, 6-5 wide receiver DREW BENNETT, signed as an unrestricted free agent (last with Tennessee), "adds that much because he's that good a player, but he adds a little different dimension that we didn't have.
"That's not taking anything away from the players we have or had, at all. It's just that Drew's got great size. You want to bring something special to the table with your game, and he brings that, plus he's a very unselfish individual.
"He understands his role and he wants to do his role well so his role will increase -- but he wants to win above everything else."
IINTERESTING ASSIGNMENT: How has it been for third-round draft pick DARIUS WADE, a cornerback, trying to cover the likes of star receivers TORRY HOLT and ISAAC BRUCE as a rookie?
"Very entertaining," said Wade. "They mess with me a lot, but I know it's all right 'cause they want me to get better so I can help this team out. Just little rookie stuff all the time. They keep me on my toes a lot; just stuff to keep me going."
DRAFT BACK: Veteran linebacker CHRIS DRAFT, hospitalized the last two nights for throat swelling apparently related to his chronic asthma condition, returned to camp on Sunday to attend meetings. Linehan said Draft was "day-to-day" regarding when he might return to practice sessions.
END QUOTE: Linehan, about the solid early camp performance of first-round draft pick ADAM CARRIKER, a defensive lineman: "I knew he wasn't going to disappoint. He looked that way on film when he played in college."

Tewari attacks CAG for criticising government
Published: 08th February 2013 03:38 PM | Last Updated: 08th February 2013 03:38 PM | A+A A-
Slamming the CAG for criticising the government on foreign soil, Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari today said Constitutional authorities should circumscribe by Lakshman Rekha propriety.
"...it is most unfortunate that C and AG rather than validating the integrity of his numbers (on 2G presumptive loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore) chooses to criticise the Government on foreign soil and at a foreign fora," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari told reporters here.
He was responding to questions about CAG Vinod Rai's remarks at Harvard Kennedy School yesterday rebutting criticism that he was exceeding the mandate and saying that the auditor was treading a "new path in the belief that the final stakeholder is the public at large".
"...The question is about the integrity of numbers. Our question to Mr C and AG, where is the 1.76 lakh crore (loss), still continues to hang in the air," Tewari said.
He said this was not the first time he (the CAG) had done it (criticising the government). "And this is not the first time that he has done it, I think constitutional authorities, you know, should circumscribe by the Lakshman Rekha propriety."
Delivering a lecture at the Harvard Kennedy, Rai, whose reports on various scams had raised hackles of those in government, had said the CAG would endeavour to uncover instances of crony capitalism and counselled the government to support enterprises per se and not entrepreneurs.
"We may not be able to wipe out corruption, but our endeavour is to uncover instances of crony capitalism.
Government should be seen to support enterprise per se and not particular entrepreneurs," Rai, who has come under government criticism for reports on various scams like in telecom and coal, said.
Asked about European Union raising the issue of accountability for 2002 Gujarat riots, Tewari said he wondered why Chief Minister Narendra Modi could not stand up and take responsibility as it happened under his watch rather than India being subjected to these homilies from foreign diplomats." I think, there is a certain ignominy attached to it."

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Greenville 1-1-2006. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter shall be known as the "Building Code of the Town of Greenville" and will be referred to in this chapter as "this code," this chapter" or "this ordinance."
This chapter provides certain minimum standards, provisions and requirements for safe and stable design, methods of construction and uses of materials in buildings and/or structures hereafter erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, converted to other uses or demolished and regulates the equipment, use and occupancy of all such buildings.
New buildings hereafter erected in, or any building hereafter moved within or into the Town shall conform to all the requirements of this chapter except as they are herein specifically exempted from part or all of its provisions. Any alteration, enlargement or demolition of an existing building and any installation therein of electrical, gas, heating, plumbing, or ventilating equipment which affects the health or safety of the users thereof or any other persons is a "new building" to the extent of such change. Any existing building shall be considered a "new building" for the purposes of this chapter whenever it is used for dwelling, commercial or industrial purposes, unless it was being used for such purpose at the time this chapter was enacted. The provisions of this chapter supplement the law of the State of Wisconsin pertaining to construction and use and Chapter 320, Zoning, and amendments thereto to the date this chapter was adopted and in no way supersede or nullify such laws and said Chapter 320, Zoning.
The Wisconsin State Building Code, Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapters SPS 320 to 325, and Wisconsin Commercial Building Code Chapters SPS 361 to 366, are adopted by reference as a part of this chapter. Any future amendments, revisions or modifications of these codes are intended to be made part of this chapter. A violation of any provision thereof shall be a violation of this chapter.
Before a building permit can be issued, the contractor, owner, or his agent must contact the Town to determine if a culvert permit is needed. This permit is obtained from the Building Inspector or Town Superintendent. The above should also obtain necessary sanitary permits if needed. Building permits are obtained from the Town Clerk or Building Inspector.
A building permit shall lapse and be void unless building operations are commenced within six months or if construction has not been completed within 12 months from the date of issuance thereof. Exception: Buildings requiring a Wisconsin Uniform Building Permit shall be valid for 24 months.
Failure to obtain permit: two times the normal fee.
General permit requirement. No building of any kind shall be moved within or into the Town and no new building or structure, or any part thereof, shall hereafter be erected, or ground broken for the same, or enlarged, altered, moved, demolished, razed or used within the Town except as herein provided, until a permit therefor shall first have been obtained by the owner, or his authorized agent, from the Building Inspector or Town Clerk. Permits are not required for new siding or minor repairs.[1]
Alterations and repairs. The following provisions shall apply to buildings altered or repaired:
When any existing building or structure accommodates a legal occupancy and use but is of a substandard type of construction, then alterations which involve beams, girders, columns, bearing or other walls, room arrangement, heating and air-conditioning systems, light and ventilation, or changes in location of exit stairways or exits, or any or all of the above, may be made in order to bring such existing construction into conformity with the minimum requirements of this chapter applicable to such occupancy and use and given type of construction, when not in conflict with any other regulations.[2]
Repairs. Repairs for purposes of maintenance, or replacements in any existing building or structure which do not involve the structural portions of the building or structure or which do not affect room arrangement, light and ventilation, access to or efficiency of any existing stairways, or exits, fire protection, or exterior aesthetic appearance and which do not increase a given occupancy of use, shall be deemed minor repairs.
Alterations when not permitted. When any existing building or structure does not conform to the regulations of this chapter, or has deteriorated from any cause whatsoever to the extent that the cost of repairs would exceed 50% of the equalized value of the building or structure. The Building Inspector may determine that repairs are unreasonable and deny a permit for alterations or repairs. The Building Inspector may issue orders pursuant to § 66.0413, Wis. Stats.[3]
Application for a building permit shall be made in writing upon a form furnished by the Building Inspector or his designee and shall state the name and address of the owner of the land and also the owner of the building if different, the legal description of the land upon which the building is to be located, the name and address of the contractor, the use to which said building is to be put and such other information as the Building Inspector may require.
With building permit application, the letter from builder concerning drainage plan shall be submitted.
Construction plan drawn to 1/4 scale.
Plot, site, drainage and erosion control plans drawn to scale.
These plans shall include the following:
North arrow.
Scale of drawing.
Area of lot in square feet (area in acres if over an acre).
Location of the proposed structure and all existing structures on the lot including outside dimensions of all structures and distances to all lot lines.
A copy of the Town approved drainage plan for the lot.
Proposed grade elevations for the lot and structure as shown on the Town approved drainage plan for the lot. [NOTE: If the proposed residential structure does not have a full standard basement wall (i.e., has half wall, egress window, walkout basement) or grade has to be adjusted for any building design issue or there is not a Town-approved drainage plan for the lot, the builder or owner shall have a licensed engineer or land surveyor determine the structure and lot line elevations to insure proper drainage of the lot and that surface water will not adversely affect adjacent property.]
The owner or agent shall have all lot corners or bends visibly staked prior to excavation.
If the proposed residential structure is to be built on a lot larger than 1.5 acres, this rule may be waived by the Town of Greenville. Waivers need approval from both the Town Building Inspector and Town Superintendent.
The existing and/or proposed use of all building or parts thereof on the lot.
The number of families the building is designed to accommodate.
Such other information with regard to the lot and existing or proposed buildings or structures as may be necessary to determine compliance with and provide enforcement of these regulations including, but not limited to, a detailed plan of any existing private domestic sewage treatment and disposal system and location of well.
Sanitary requirements. No building permit shall be issued for the construction of any residential, commercial or industrial building until a county or state sanitary permit has been issued or sanitary sewer is available.
Revocation of permits. The building, electrical or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) inspector (Building Inspector) may revoke any building, plumbing, HVAC or electrical permit, certificate of occupancy, or approval issued under the regulations of this chapter and may stop construction or use of approved new materials, equipment, methods of construction, devices or appliances for any of the following reasons:
Whenever the inspector shall find at any time that applicable ordinances, laws, orders, plans and specification are not being complied with and that the holder of the permit refused to conform after written warning or instruction has been issued to him.
Whenever the continuance of any construction becomes dangerous to life or property.
Whenever there is any violation of any condition or provisions of the application for permit or of the permit.
Whenever, in the opinion of the inspector, there is inadequate supervision provided on the job site.
Whenever any false statement or misrepresentation has been made in the application for permit, plans, drawings, data specifications or certified lot or plot plan on which the issuance of the permit or approval was based.
Whenever there is a violation of any of the conditions of an approval or certificate of occupancy given by the Building Inspector for the use of all new materials, equipment, methods or construction devices or appliances.[4]
The notice revoking a building, plumbing, heating or electrical permit shall be in writing and may be served upon the applicant of the permit, owner of the premises or his agent, if any, or on the person having charge of construction.
A revocation placard shall also be posted upon the building, structure, equipment or premises in question by the Inspector.
After the notice is served upon the persons as aforesaid and posted, it shall be unlawful for any person to proceed thereafter with any construction operation whatsoever on the premises, and the permit which has been so revoked shall be null and void, and before any construction or operation is again resumed, a new permit, as required by this chapter, shall be procured and fees paid therefor, and thereafter the resumption of any construction or operation shall be in compliance with the regulation of this chapter. However, such work as the Inspector may order as a condition precedent to the reissuance of the building permit may be performed, or such work as he may require for the preservation of life and safety.
Display of permit. Building permits shall be displayed in a conspicuous place on the premises where the authorized building or work is in progress at all times during construction or work thereon.
Payment of fees. No permit shall be issued until the fees have been paid.
Compliance of codes. The permit shall be authorization to proceed with the work and shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel or set aside any of the provisions of this chapter to the Uniform Dwelling Code, except as specifically stipulated by modification of legally granted variation as described in the application.
Compliance with permit. All work shall conform to the approved application and plans for which the permit has been issued and any approved amendments thereto.
Compliance with plot plan and drainage plan. All new work shall be located strictly in accordance with the approved plot plan.
Change in plot plan and drainage plan. No lot or plot shall be changed, increased or diminished in area from that shown on the official plot plan, unless revised diagram showing such changes accompanied by the necessary affidavit of owner or agent or applicant shall have been filed and approved; except that such revised plot plan will not be required if the change is caused by reason of an official street opening, street widening or other public improvement.
Cleanliness; removal of debris. Every building shall be kept reasonably clean during construction and after construction, and shall be kept reasonably free from any accumulation of dirt, filth, rubbish, garbage, excess building materials or other matter in or on the same, or in the yards, courts, passages, areas of alleys connected with or belonging to the same. Sidewalks and streets shall be kept clear and clean of boards, nails or other debris, and shall be further kept clean of accumulation of dirt, and mud or ground. The holder of the permit, whether it be the owner of the premises upon which construction is being undertaken, or the general construction is being undertaken, or the general contractor, or any subcontractor on said building project, shall be responsible for hauling all rubbish and debris away from the construction site, at the contractor's expense or the expense of the subcontractor or the owner, as agreed between the parties, all at no cost to the Town of Greenville. This section includes residential, commercial and industrial construction and any remodeling of existing residential, commercial and industrial properties.
The Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code shall also apply to the buildings and conditions where:
An existing building to be occupied as a one or two-family dwelling, which building was not previously so occupied.
Additions and alterations, regardless of cost, made to an existing building when deemed necessary in the opinion of the Building Inspector shall comply with the requirements of this chapter for new buildings. The provisions of § 85-10 shall also apply.
Additions and alterations. Any addition or alteration, regardless of cost, made to a building shall be made in conformity with applicable sections of this chapter.
Permit required. No building shall be moved over the streets or roads of the Town of Greenville unless a permit has been granted by the Building Inspector.
Any person wishing to move a building over the roads or streets of the Town of Greenville shall make application to the Town Building Inspector in a letter of request. Such letters shall also be signed by the owner of the property to where the building is to be moved.
The moving of the building shall be continuous during all hours of the day and day by day if the Town Building Inspector so orders until the moving is completed to cause the least possible obstruction to the streets.
No building shall be allowed to remain overnight on any street crossing or intersection.
Red warning lights shall be placed conspicuously at both ends of the building during the night.
If a building being moved must remain stationary on a street for any period of time, permission for such shall be obtained from the Town Chairman.
Permits to be granted. No permission shall be granted by the Town of Greenville for the moving of buildings over the streets of the Town of Greenville without certain conditions being met.
The axle load shall be such so there is no damage to the road surface as determined by the Town Building Inspector and/or Town Superintendent.
The building shall be of such length, height and width that it will not interfere with power lines, trees, and other structures along the route to be traveled.
Applicant shall be required to show evidence of public liability and property damage insurance with limits of $25,000 for injury to one person and $50,000 for one accident and $25,000 for property damage.
Applicant shall deposit with the Town Clerk a bond of $2,000 with acceptable surety running to the Town conditioned that he will save and indemnify the Town against any costs, expenses, or damages which may in any way accrue against the Town by reason of moving and will keep the Town harmless against all liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses as a consequence of the granting of a permit.
Inspector to be appointed. The mover of any building to whom permission has been granted shall notify the Town Building Inspector of the time when moving is to begin. The Town Building Inspector may appoint an inspector to be present during the moving operations to supervise such moving. The appointment of an inspector in no way relieves the mover from any liability for damage that may be done during the moving operation. The costs of the inspector and tree trimmers shall be billed at actual cost to the mover.
Buildings moved within the Town.
No building shall be moved from one location to another within the Town without the conditions provided hereunder being met.
The Building Inspector shall issue a building permit for the relocation of said building in compliance with all building and zoning regulations.
A relocation shall not be made if there is a protest of the relocation duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or more of the land immediately adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom or by the owners of 20% or more of the land directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet from the street frontage of such opposite land unless so granted by a 2/3 vote of the Town Board.
No building shall be moved from one location to another location within the Town if said building has been in existence more than 50% of its estimated life expectancy as set forth in Boeckh's Manual of Appraisals Depreciation Table for Buildings.
No building shall be moved from outside the limits of the Town to within limits of the Town unless granted by a 2/3 vote of the Town Board. Newly constructed factory-built homes and parts thereof may be moved from outside the Town to within the Town in compliance with all other provisions of this chapter.
Whenever permission is issued for the moving of a building and a police escort is required in the opinion of the Town Building Inspector, the mover shall provide same at his expense.
Dangerous and unsafe buildings. If a building is old, dilapidated or out of repair and consequently dangerous, unsafe or otherwise unfit for human habitation and unreasonable to repair, the Building Inspector may order the owner of the building to raze the building or, if the building can be made safe by reasonable repairs, order the owner to either make the building safe and sanitary or to raze the building, at the owner's option.
Cessation of construction. If there has been a cessation of normal construction of a building for a period of more than two years, the Building Inspector may order the owner of the building to raze the building.
Notice of unfitness. If a building subject to an order under Subsection A of this section is unsanitary and unfit for human habitation, occupancy or use and is not in danger of structural collapse, the Building Inspector shall post a placard on the premises containing the following notice: "This Building May Not Be Used For Human Habitation, Occupancy or Use." The Building Inspector shall prohibit use of the building for human habitation, occupancy or use until necessary repairs have been made. Any person who rents, leases or occupies a building which has been condemned for human habitation, occupancy or use shall be fined not less than $5 nor more than $50 for each week of the violation, or both.[1]
Reasonableness of repair. If the Building Inspector determines that the cost of repairs of a building would exceed 50% of the assessed value to the building divided by the ratio of the assessed value to the recommended value as last published by the Department of Revenue, the repairs are presumed unreasonable.
Service of order. An order under Subsection A of this section shall be served on the owner of record of the building that is subject to the order or on the owner's agent if the agent is in charge of the building in the same manner as a summons is served in circuit court. An order under Subsection A shall be served on the holder of an encumbrance of record by first-class mail at the holder's last known address and by publication as a Class 1 notice under Ch. 985. If the owner and the owner's agent cannot be found or if the owner is deceased and an estate has not been opened, the order may be served by posting it on the main entrance of the building and by publishing it as a Class 1 notice under Ch. 985 before the time limited in the order begins to run. The time limited in the order begins to run from the date of service on the owner or owner's agent or, if the owner and agent cannot be found, from the date that the order was posted on the building.
Effect of recording order. If a raze order issued under Subsection A of this section is recorded with the register of deeds, the order is considered to have been served, as of the date the raze order is recorded, on any person claiming an interest in the building or the real estate as a result of a conveyance from the owner of record unless the conveyance was recorded before the recording of the raze order.
Failure to comply with order, razing building. An order shall specify the time within which the owner of the building is required to comply with the order and shall specify repairs, if any. If the owner fails or refuses to comply within the time prescribed, the Building Inspector may proceed to raze the building through any available public agency or by contract or arrangement with private persons, or to secure the building and, if necessary, the property on which the building is located if unfit for human habilitation, occupancy or use. The cost of razing or securing the building and, if necessary, the property on which the building is located if unfit for human habitation, occupancy or use. The cost of razing or securing the building may be charged in full or in part against the real estate upon which the building is located, and if that cost is so charged, it is a lien upon the real estate and may be assessed and collected as a special tax. Any portion of the cost charged against the real estate that is not reimbursed under from funds withheld from an insurance settlement may be assessed and collected as a special tax.
Vacating buildings. When, in the opinion of the Building Inspector, there is actual and immediate danger of failure or collapse of a building or structure or part thereof which would endanger life, or when any structure or part of a structure has fallen and life is endangered by the occupation of the building, the Building Inspector may order and require the occupants to vacate the same forthwith. The Building Inspector shall cause to be posted at each entrance to such buildings a notice reading as follows: "DO NOT OCCUPY." And it shall be unlawful for any person to enter such building or structure except for the purpose of making the required repairs or demolishing the same.
Costs of emergency repairs. Costs incurred in the performance of emergency work shall be paid from the Town Treasury on certificate of the Building Inspector; and the Town Attorney shall institute appropriate action against the owner of the premises where the unsafe building or structure was located for the recovery of such costs.
Certified inspector to enforce. The Building Inspector and his delegated representatives are hereby authorized and directed to administer and enforce all of the provisions of the Uniform Dwelling Code.

Records. The Building Inspector shall perform all administrative tasks required by the Department under the Uniform Dwelling Code. In addition, the Building Inspector shall keep a record of all applications for building permits in a book for such purpose and shall regularly number each permit in the order of its issue.
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter or of the Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
Scope of penalty provision.

Any person who fails to obtain a building permit before starting construction shall be charged double the regular rate for this late filing violation. In any such action, the fact that a permit was issued shall not constitute a defense, nor shall any error, oversight or dereliction of duty on the part of the Building Inspector or other Town officials constitute a defense. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter may also be enforced by injunctional order at the suit of the owner or owners of any real estate within the jurisdiction of this chapter.[1]
Notice to correct. If an inspection reveals a noncompliance with this chapter of the Uniform Dwelling Code, the Building Inspector shall notify the applicant or the owner of the violation to be corrected and prior to continuation of any other work.
Stop-work order. If after notification, the violation is not corrected, a stop-work order may be served on the owner or his or her representative and a copy thereof shall be posted at the construction site. Such stop-work order shall not be removed except by written notice of the Building Inspector after satisfactory evidence has been supplied that the cited violation has been corrected.
Separate violations; other remedies. Each day each violation continues after the written notice shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the Town from maintaining any appropriate action to prevent or remove a violation of any maintaining of this chapter or the Uniform Dwelling Code.
Double fees. If any construction of work governed by the provisions of this chapter or the Uniform Dwelling Code is commenced prior to the issuance of a permit, double fees shall be charged.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - Two girls have been arrested in the death of a 12-year-old central Florida girl who authorities say committed suicide after being bulled online by several girls for nearly a year, a sheriff said Tuesday.
The girls are 12 and 14, and they have been charged with felony aggravated stalking, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Grady Judd scheduled a news conference Tuesday morning in Winter Haven regarding the arrests.
Authorities have said Rebecca Sedwick was "terrorized" by as many as 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months through online message boards and texts. Some of the girls' computers and cellphones were seized in the investigation.
On Sept. 9, authorities say, Rebecca climbed a tower at an abandoned concrete plant and hurled herself to her death.
The bullying began over a "boyfriend issue," and Rebecca had become depressed, Judd has said.
After the suicide, police looked at the girl's computer and found search queries for topics including "what is overweight for a 13-year-old girl," ''how to get blades out of razors" and "how many over-the-counter drugs do you take to die." One of her screensavers also showed Rebecca with her head resting on a railroad track.
Florida has a bullying law named after a teenager who killed himself after being harassed by classmates. Amended July 1 to cover cyberbullying, the law leaves punishment to schools, though law enforcement also can seek more traditional charges.

Instagram, the photo-sharing app recently acquired by Facebook for $1 billion, could be adding more functionality to its website, according to rumors swirling around the Internet on Monday.
The buzz started when web designer Cole Reinke reportedly found a "View Profile" link on Instagram's official website. Although the link is now gone, the discovery could indicate more functionality will soon be available on the website.
Currently, the site only allows users to change passwords, update profile information and download the app.
U.S. & World
"Online Instagram profiles coming soon? Clicking on the link lead me to a 404 error at my profile address. When I looked to see if it was still there three hours later, it had disappeared. But before I saw the option appear, Instagram went down for a minute or two," wrote Reinke on his Tumblr page.
In the past, the company has stressed its focus is on the mobile app, and not its website.

Orchestral Masters Vol. 2
Product Notes
Edward Smaldone-The Beauty of Innuendo The Beauty of Innuendo was composed in 2013 at the invitation of conductor Daijiro Ukon and was first performed by him and the Oratorio Sinfonica Japan in Tokyo in March 2013. The title comes from Thirteen Way of Looking at a Blackbird, by Wallace Stevens. This line comes from the fifth stanza of the poem: "I do not know which to prefer,/the beauty of inflections/or the beauty of innuendoes,/The blackbird whistling/or just after." The line indicates the dilemma of the choice between the beauty of the inflections of the blackbird's whistling (i.e. - the beauty of a thing we experience directly), and the beauty of the innuendo of the memory of it (i.e. - the beauty of something that is absent). My composition therefore explores the beauty found in the memory of something that is not experienced directly. Peter Dayton-From Sombre Lands I had originally conceived From Sombre Lands (2013) as a work for solo piano. It was requested by a dear friend and fellow composer for a recital, which would connect Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableau in D Minor Op. 33, No. 4 and Chopin's Nocturne in B Major Op. 62, No. 1 on her program. I turned to the work of British semi-abstract landscape artist John Hitchens for inspiration, as works inspired by or responding to pieces of visual art have figured largely in my creative impetus, and I had already composed a piece based on the paintings of John's father, Ivon Hitchens, himself a well-respected modern landscape artist. While the painting was integral in beginning the piano composition, upon completion it seemed that the work had taken a different direction. However, when I orchestrated From Sombre Lands, I felt I recovered some of my original intentions, the use of varied timbres better matching Hitchen's own tactile, almost textile, textural variety and choice of warm colors than the piano's timbral limitations. From Sombre Lands is dedicated to Shelby Flowers and to Matthieu Cognet, who near-simultaneously performed this work at Vanderbilt University and as part of (SUNY) Stony Brook University's 2013 Piano Project respectively. The piano version was awarded first prize in the national division and fourth prize in the international division of the Golden Key Music Festival Piano Composition Competition. The recording is dedicated to John Hitchens, with whom I am privileged to have kept up a lively correspondence. Symon Clarke-Three Orbits The piece is in three movements and each relates to one of Saturn's many moons: Iapetus, Hyperion and Tethys. Each movement follows the form of an arch that begins and ends in a similar place, rather like the journey of a single orbit. The three movements together also form an arch and the whole piece completes a circle that ends where it began. All the movements are related to each other by taking their thematic and harmonic material from the same source as they all revolve around the larger planet Saturn. The main themes of the piece are finally distilled and heard as instrumental solos towards the end of the final movement (Tethys). Hyperion is a unique moon in the solar system in that it tumbles around unpredictably on it's own axis as it orbits Saturn-this is reflected in the somewhat turbulent music of the middle movement. Beyond that, the music does not relate to the orbits of the moons but rather to the characteristics of the Greek gods after which they are named. Iapetus the god of mortality and craftsmanship; Hyperion the god of watchfulness, wisdom and light and Tethys the goddess of water, with numerous daughters called the Oceanids. Youngwoo Yoo-Honbul (Re-creation from above) The inspiration for my orchestral work Honbul (Re-creation from above) comes from the Buddhist concept of reincarnation. Traditionally, it is believed that when a person takes his final breath, a blue light escapes from his body and flies into the sky, searching the world for a newborn child. In Korea, the name for this blue light, what we consider to be the "fire of the soul," is honbul. My piece begins with the death of a human being, captured within a pronounced glissando in the violins and violas. This is followed by the winds blowing air through their instruments in both sustained breaths and through stagger breathing, accompanied by the upper strings continuing to glissando, representing the human's final breaths and the honbul escaping from it's dying corporeal vessel. It then soars up into the atmosphere, searching for a new life to inhabit. The honbul soon finds itself in the presence of countless other soul fires, swirling about each other in a chaotic cloud of luminescence. They scour the vicinity for every kind of new life, finding a newborn creature that would be a good fit for them. Eventually, each honbul will find it's match, and as they reach the threshold of the infant creature's mouth, they bury themselves deep within, all of this heralded by the easing of the musical tension and the return of the breathy, nebulous material of the work's opening, but this time accompanied by a glockenspiel and xylophone, symbolizing the innocence of the newborn baby. Zhiyi Wang-The Aroma of Exotic The bouquet of the 'exotic' is always perceived in contrast to the 'local non-exotic', and thus the perception of 'exotic' colors by a 'non-exotic' subject seamlessly combines both color schemes. The eastern pentatonic nature of The Aroma of Exotic shifts colors implicitly and further fuses with western elements, creating a diversified montage reminiscent of our multicultural world. The Aroma of Exotic could thus either be the oriental cultural experience of a westerner or equally be the occidental interpretation by an easterner. The construction and connection of harmony are the signatures of my music. Furthermore, my unique understanding as a Chinese musician allows me to explore pentatonic elements with a contemporary approach. Inspired by my trip to Prague and Paris, this piece creates a layout of exotic characters by balancing both colors of seven-tone and five-tone scales, where the two essences fuse into one organic presentation; analogous to an Impressionist painting with contextual enrichment from Asian elements. In spite of their brevity, the materials are compressed into a musical montage, consisting of micro-appearances that shift quickly from one to another new 'scent,' as an implication of the multiple aromas. The diversity of harmonic colors brings Aroma into life by shifting colors between groups of woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings. The piece intends to create "a Perfume to the Ear;" while the melodic motives transform into delicate harmonies, the multi-layer harmonies reflect The Aroma of Exotic. The piece was awarded the first prize in 2014 Senzoku Gakuen International Composition Competition. Scott McIntyre-Particles of Time The title of the piece suggests moments in time in the life of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. The year 1932 saw the creation of the ABC as Australia's premiere broadcast and performance institution. Studio orchestras were formed in both Sydney and Melbourne and in 1934 the orchestra grew to a core complement of 24 players with government funding in 1936 boosting the ensembles to 45 players each. These ensembles formed the basis for the Sydney Symphony and Melbourne Symphony orchestras we have today. This piece explores the growth of the ensemble over it's early development. After an initial tutti introduction a complement of seventeen players introduces the first of three ensemble sections. A brief tutti punctuation ushers in the next growth of the orchestra, twenty-four players. An extended tutti outburst, reminiscent of the opening, exhausts itself giving way to the forty-five piece ensemble. This elegy slowly builds in stature but is interrupted by another brief tutti. The coda builds to a tutti from the depths of the double bassoon and basses, culminating in the full sonority of an orchestra of the dimensions of the Sydney Symphony that is heard today. Embedded into the musical language of the piece are the names of three important conductors; Heinze, Goossens and Challender. It was Bernard Heinze's drive and determination that each Australian city housed it's own professional orchestra. His School Concerts in the late 1920s helped cement his vision for the establishment of the ABC orchestras in Australia. The music for Heinze has been paired with the early seventeen-piece ensemble, it's long melody casting it's tendrils out over the Australian cultural landscape. Music representing Eugene Goossens, the orchestras first Chief Conductor, is played by a twenty-four piece ensemble. A forty-five piece ensemble takes up Stuart Challender's elegy. A furtive woodwind sixteenth note figure and rich strings are accompanied by Mahlerian suggestions in the horns and harp. Kenneth Froelich-SYMPHONY No. 1: Dream Dialogs My Symphony No. 1 is inspired by the innate property of music to create a dialog on a completely abstract level. The first movement of the Symphony, Thought in Process, is inspired by patterns of thought that mimic my own personal inner-dialog. The movement begins with a collection of incomplete motives. Over the course of the movement, a single motive emerges as a principal idea. This idea becomes an obsession, a musical thought that refuses to yield regardless of the presence of other ideas. Spinning Yarns, the second movement, is inspired by the jazz concept of "trading fours" where the drummer performs a series of solos that alternate with solos by the rest of the ensemble. The movement's form is divided up into three large sections, which can be further divided into thirteen separate "strands." Each of these strands, with the exception of the middle seventh one, is presented as a call and response utilizing different sections of the orchestra. The third movement, At a Loss for Words, is the emotional core of the symphony. The form of the movement loosely mirrors a conversation between two unidentified individuals. This conversation builds organically, slowly introducing musical material in a hesitating manner, and intensifying as "details of the dialog" emerge through thematic development. The conversation builds until one voice explodes through a frantic, uncontrolled trombone solo. This is followed by a surprisingly peaceful and introverted song incorporating both voices. This song concludes the movement, with an ever-so-brief interruption from the first movement. Bernard Hughes-Anaphora Anaphora takes it's title from a Greek rhetorical device. 'Anaphora' means the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a series of phrases; notable examples include Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech, or Winston Churchill's 'we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds'. The piece begins with five notes on a solo oboe - A, E, C#, F# and G - which return, sometimes straightforwardly and sometimes heavily disguised, at the beginning of each section of music. The music moves through a number of sections in it's fourteen minute duration, some still and slightly mysterious, others joyously extrovert, reaching a climax over a ground-bass made from the opening five notes in inversion, before dying away to end quietly. Anaphora was written for the Woking Symphony Orchestra as part of Making Music's Adopt-a-Composer programme, and premiered by them in June 2012. The London premiere was given by Sinfonia Tamesa in October 2012. Mauro Farrugia-Capriccio Mediterraneo Capriccio Mediterraneo is a work that is modern yet bright, folk-like and elegant. The music seeks to blend themes that represent the Mediterranean culture with both Western music traditions as well as those that come from Africa and the eastern parts of the Mediterranean in a work that is light, colorful, infectious and fun. The piece is idiomatically scored and it's three themes have been tailored to portray the Upper, Middle and Lower Mediterranean-distinctive approaches that promote the unity that exists in their diversity. An important aspect of the work is a sense of longing and feeling for one's own native identity suggested through particular 'sound-moods.' Capriccio Mediterraneo is a composition that strives to excel in portraying a soundscape determined by moods, pre-compositional thought and logical well-articulated construction. The three themes used had been all inspired by various aspects of the Mediterranean cultures such as the sounds of the east, the harmonies of the west, the percussive sounds of Northern Africa and the highly embellished melodies coming from the Iberian region. Roydon Tse-Remembrances Commissioned in 2008 by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Remembrances was written as part of the ESO's young composers' project. The premiere was given by the ESO in September 2008 by conductor Robert Bernhardt, and was subsequently chosen to be performed by the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2012 under Shalom Bard. A piece in memory of friends and family in Hong Kong and the UK, Remembrances is a short prelude for orchestra written shortly after immigrating to Canada from Hong Kong. During the composition of Remembrances, I was listening continuously to the music of Ravel and Stravinsky, in particular Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloe and the Firebird. Remembrances begins with a melody for the English horn, which is then passed from the winds, to the strings, and then to the French horns. There are moments of turmoil, among otherwise lyrical and pastoral sounds as I attempt to capture the feelings of loss as I left familiar homelands to start a new chapter in life. Remembrances is dedicated to my parents Kenway and Vickie, for their assistance in making this recording possible, and for all their support and advice throughout my career in music. Thanks also to composer John Estacio, who discovered my potential and mentored me during the composition of Remembrances. Paul Siskind-Clarion Call The Crane Symphony Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the college where I teach, commissioned Clarion Call for it's fall 2008 tour. Conductor Christopher Lanz asked for a short piece that would work well as a concert opener (i.e. attention-grabbing), but which would be more substantial than just a fanfare. The main theme is indeed an angular fanfare, which reappears in various guises throughout the piece to provide a sense of unity. Two additional themes are juxtaposed against the main theme, for variety and contrast. The second theme is more lyrical in nature, whereas the third theme is more animated and rhythmic. The harmonic language of the piece is mostly based on alternation between the two whole-tone collections, although the third theme suddenly introduces octatonic scales for variety.

Update: Travel Ban Lifted In Herkimer County – But Use Common Sense
The last thing central New York needed was more rain. But, on Monday, the area got hit once again with not just sprinkles, but heavy rainfall, and more is forecast Tuesday and Wednesday.
Because of the ongoing flooding situation Herkimer County officials on Monday night had closed all roads in southern and central Herkimer County, however as of 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, that ban had been lifted, according to County Chairman Vincent Bono.
But, Bono says there is a travel advisory in place and residents need to use common sense when they are out on the road. First and foremost, he says drivers should slow down.

When you choose HomeSmart Connect to be your dedicated representative, we show you properties based on your initial list of desirable features. Once you find the home you want, we initiate the process of making an offer on the property.
There are a number of factors that can affect your decision on what amount to offer on the property. Market conditions are always a factor. For instance, if it is a "Buyer's" market, you will likely have some negotiating room for the property. In a "Seller's" market, you may want to place your best offer up front in order to be the one chosen by the Seller.
Also to be considered are the values of the properties around the one you want. These figures are typically called the "comps" or "comparables". At HomeSmart Connect, we prepare a report of all of the properties that have closed recently, or are currently for sale in the vicinity of the property you are submitting an offer on. These comps are analyzed and a realistic value for the property is established.
There are other terms to be considered when placing an offer that may affect whether or not the seller is willing to accept the offer, or whether you are willing to accept the seller's terms. Some of the factors to consider are if a pre or post possession of the property has been requested, if a Home Warranty will be included, and as stated previously, what market conditions currently are.
You will also want to establish the close of escrow date, or date you will actually become the owner, before submitting an offer. If you are obtaining a loan, a lender will generally need about 30 days to complete your loan, order and evaluate the appraisal, and furnish the closing documents. If you have been pre-approved, this time frame may shorten.
Of course, you will want to give yourself ample time to conduct any inspections on the property prior to your chose closing date.
There will be an appraisal on the property after escrow opens, and often what you are willing to pay for a property and what an appraiser determines as its value are two different numbers!
An offer to purchase property is a legally binding document. At HomeSmart Connect, we ensure you enter into an agreement with as much information as possible. You should always feel free to consult an attorney or tax advisor to obtain further information you deem necessary.
Our commitment to providing you with superior customer service can be demonstrated by the ongoing communication and market knowledge standards we consistently maintain so you can be a most informed buyer. We want you to be well-prepared, but also enjoy this exciting experience.

#2 Farmingdale State - 1, #3 St. Joseph's - 0
Farmingdale, N.Y. - A successful penalty kick from sophomore defender Andrea Kiefer (Centereach, N.Y.) gave Farmingdale State a 1-0 lead over St. Joe's with 21 minutes left to play in today's Skyline semifinal women's soccer game. The goal would stand as the game-winner, as the Rams held the Golden Eagles scoreless to advance to the Skyline Championship for the sixth straight season.
In the first half, Farmingdale held a 7-0 shot advantage and 8-0 advantage on corner kicks, but could not find the back of the net. The Rams added five more shots in the second, while the Golden Eagles were held to zero shots. A red card by a St. Joe's player in the box gave Farmingdale the penalty kick opportunity at 68:41.
The Rams will face the winner of #1 Mount Saint Mary/#4 Old Westbury in the Skyline Championship game on Sunday, November 4th at the highest remaining seed. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Tournament.

On August 11 2008, here is my list of the (Defensive) Eastern Conference 2009 Postseason Teams:
No hard feelings to anyone but the Western Conference teams are not as physical or dominating in the Frontcourt and Backcourt as the Eastern Conference teams. The majority of the west teams play an open court run and gun style which is good during the regular season because the Refs dont allow much physical contact untill the Postseason. This season when checking the stats of a game check the fouls and the FT attempts of the Western Conference Teams and you will see how they win the majority of their games (acting). Especially against the East teams who are used to playing physical.
1) Boston is the Top team in the East winning last season Championship Finals off of pure team-defense.
2) Detroit is still the roughneck team in the league that can get down and dirty or quick as lightning with just one of these leadership players on the court Billups, Rip, Prince, and Rasheed. They just added Kwame who went through a grueling Bigman training for three years with coach Phil Jax. Old man Rasheed scoring will rise with 24 mpg of Kwame big body in the paint.
3) Cleveland got Lebron James with a full training-camp of Varejao & Big Ben to work into the creative Lebron system early. Having a healthy Gibson and Delonte West at the point is not bad when both jumpshots are falling so Lebron could take over the point. Pavolic outside shooting will have to make up for such a poor season last year.
4) Toronto will have a mystery recovery of a 80 game healthy Jermain O'Neal to co-exist with the dominating Bosh in the paint. 6.10 Center Bargnani could practice his 3 point shooting throughout the entire season with O'Neal & Bosh each averaging 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. PG-Jose Calderon have the chance this season to say, "Nash and Paul what?".
5) Washington got a season well rested Gilbert Arenas back to make every oposition have to double and tripple team him in a well coordinated coach Eddie Jordan system that has been hard for any team scout to predict since becomming a head coach.
6) Orlando is back with Superman Howard going after the Starting Center of the All-Star game with his homeboys Lewis & Hedo in the frontcourt to back him up. This season JJ Redick will have to get up off the pot or go to the Euro league because rookie SG-Courtney Lee out of West Kentucky is here to stay by making PG-Jameer Nelson game move up a level or two.
7) Philly finally got the PF-Elton Brand, that the 76ers been missing for decades since they traded Charles Barkley. Dont get me wrong the team had some decent PF the best was an injury Coleman they traded for he played hurt for years. But adding PF-Elton Brand with a shotblocking C-Dalembert with a young athletic Thadeus Young and Evans in the Frontcourt their Rookie Center Speights will learn quick. I never did like PG-Andre Miller performance as a Clipper or Nuggets in the 4th quarter where he consistently folds under pressure but on the 76ers with Captain SF/SG-Iggy, SG-Green, and backup PG-Ollie, Miller seem to have become a crunchtime player.
8) Atlanta "Danger-Danger-Danger!", this is a team that kept comming together and improving their chemistry in each of their playoff games. Having a full season and training-camp of the starting bacourt tandem of PG-Bibby & SG-Joe Johnson (both are in their final contract season) will be something exciting to watch. Especially with the dominting strong force of the Tandem of Josh Smith & Al Horford in the paint. It's very sad that they lost Josh Childress great awareness performance that is hard to replace to the Euro League. But the way this team came together in the Postseason games gives me confidence in the team and coaching staff to make each player move up a level in their performance this regular season with the lost of Childress.
9) Charlotte got HOF Coach Larry Brown running the show now, and every Knick Fan, Piston Fan, 76er Fan, Pacer Fan, and Spurs Fan, should know what that means now for all of the Bobcats young players (either shut or get up off the pot). If Rookie PG-DJ Augustin brings the same point-talent he applied in Texas, with C-Okafor, a healthy PF-May, SF-Wallace, SG-Richardson, and Combo-Guard Felton, with the deep young defensive depth they have on their bench the NBA league will have problems if coach Larry Brown runs an uptempo run and gun performance with a "Three-Guard Line-up" for one quarter each game with two little guards (Augustin & Felton pressuring the ball each time on defense), and high-light performer Jason Richardson defending the passing lane under coach Larry Brown strategy.
10) Chicago has a new and better coach now in Vinny Del Negro, who will size-up PG-Hindrich performance to the number 1 pick PG-Derrick Rose creative performance (both may play in the same line-up at times). The Bulls having a full season and training camp veteran experience SG-Larry Hughes to direct the direction of the guards, and a wiser veteran PF than Ben Wallace in Drew Gooden to direct the directions of the young bigmen in the paint may shock and suprise alot of unblievers this season. The re-signing of Deng was a wise move for the Bulls by taking alot of pressure off the two new Combo-Guards (Hughes & Rose) that will lead their Backcourt for 48 mpg this season.
11) Miami, the most curious team to look foward to watching this season with an injury Super Star SG-Dwayne Wade who is averaging 15 points comming off the bench this offseason on the USA Olympic Team. He looks great to me, his first step is back to normal. Pat Riley did not seem to happy selecting the best player in the draft the 6.10 PF-Michael Beasley who looked like a NBA star player while in college. Alot of teams would luv to have a starting line-up that consist of switching a strong PF into a Center like C/F-Haslem, PF-Beasley, SF-Matrix, and SG-Wade. The Heat problem lies in who will be the master PG of this team for 27 to 32 mpg. I hope they find a young and upcomming PG for this duty.

"Oden comes alive!" exclaims Yahoo! Sports. Leave it to a website with an exclamation point in its name to delve into hyperbole every now and again.
"It was damp and chilly so I decided to put on my sweatshirt!" Get rid of the exclamations.
I like Greg Oden, he has been my muse at times but he's just not that good right now.
Sure, whenever Oden has played over 30 minutes this season — with two exceptions — he's gotten double doubles. But what about the other 30-some games where he's sat on the bench in favor of Joel Przybilla.
Oden's a rotation player in the league but there's a reason why rookie Rudy Fernandez is getting more burn than the big man.
Oden (8.3 points) scores more than Przybilla (5.4) but he's also attempting twice as many shots (GO's 5.7 shots to JP's 2.9).
What I find interesting is that Oden and Przybilla are both blocking the same amount of shots per game — 1.1 and 1.0 blocked shots. So although he's been billed as this impact defenseman, statistically, he's doesn't have much to show for it.
I think it's unfortunate that so many people have written Oden off simply because he was injured last year. But it's just as unfortunate to sing his praises after he hangs 24 and 15 on the Milwaukee Bucks. Because… they're the Milwaukee Bucks.
His second most recent 30 minute game came against the Los Angeles Lakers where he only managed 10 points and 4 boards. All that to say that there's a big skill differential between the Bucks and the Lakers. And although 24 and 15 is a great night and a good starting point… I think it's prudent to temper our enthusiasm just a tad.

Genitals are useful for transferring sperm, but why stop there? Some animals have evolved unusual and creative ways to use their naughty bits to trick predators or attract mates.
Recently, scientists discovered that hawkmoths have an unusual defense against bat sonar—by rubbing their genitals together, the moths produce ultrasonic sounds of their own. These sounds jam the bat's sonar and give the moths a chance to escape.
Hawkmoths aren't the only animals that use their genitals in unexpected ways. Read on for more examples of creatures that have found creative uses for their nether regions.
Flatworm Penis Fencing
Marine flatworms (Pseudobiceros hancockanus) are hermaphrodites, having both male and female genitalia. When they mate, they have to determine who will become the mom and who will become the dad. And since creating eggs takes more energy than creating sperm, both partners would prefer to use their male parts to impregnate the other.
They decide who gets to be the daddy with a clash of their penises. The flatworms parry with their dagger-like genitalia, attempting to stab their partner in order to inseminate it. The first to succeed becomes the male of the pair, delivering its sperm into the other.
Bedbug Hypodermic Penis
Bedbugs reproduce through the appropriately named technique of "traumatic insemination." The male uses his hypodermic-like penis to stab through the female's exoskeleton and pierce her abdomen. He injects his sperm directly into her body through the wound. The sperm diffuses through her body and eventually finds its way to her ovaries, where it fertilizes her eggs.
As you might expect, this can be an ugly experience for the females. The wounds are susceptible to infection and can be detrimental to the females' health and longevity. Fortunately, female bedbugs have evolved a special abdominal organ known as the spermalege where the males stab them, which appears to reduce some of the damage from traumatic insemination.
Detachable Spider Penis
For the orb-weaver spider (Nephilengys malabarensis), sexual cannibalism—where the female eats her partner—is fairly common. So mating is risky business. But male orb weavers have a trick to avoid being eaten by the females: They use reproductive organs called palps to transfer their sperm to their mate. If she looks at him a little too hungrily while they're mating, he can detach his palp and run off to live another day.
This strategy may actually help his reproductive success. The male spider's palp continues to transfer sperm into the female long after the rest of him has gone. It also blocks the female's genitals, barring her from mating with other males. (Related: "Why Sea Slugs Dispose of Their Own Penises.")
Swimming Sperm-Tentacle
The male paper nautilus, or argonaut octopus, also has a detachable trick up its sleeve. Males possess a specialized, extended tentacle, called a hectocotylus, where they store packets of sperm.
When a male paper nautilus detects a female, the hectocotylus can break free from his body and swim over to her under its own power. The hectocotylus inserts its load into the female's mantle and can remain active, depositing sperm in her even as its owner goes on his merry way.
The first scientists to observe the hectocotylus in action actually misidentified it as a parasitic worm attached to the female paper nautilus.
Singing Penis
The water boatman (Micronecta scholtzi) is a tiny freshwater insect that shows that size doesn't matter.
The 0.07-inch (2-millimeter) bug produces the loudest sound of any animal relative to its body size. How does it do it? By rubbing an appendage on its abdomen against its penis. Scientists recorded chirps from the water boatman at an ear-splitting 99 decibels. That's about as loud as a power mower.
Like most ostentatious displays, the purpose of the water boatman's singing is to attract a mate. For females, it's not the size of the boatman, it's the motion of its singing penis.
