Mass-market brands race to add high-tech gadgetry
Infotainment and safety features once reserved for luxury cars are now showing up in compact and subcompact models as mass-market automakers increasingly use high-tech features as key selling tools.
"Automakers are forced to add high-end infotainment and safety systems in compact and subcompact models to stay competitive," said Anna Buettner, an analyst for IHS Auto-motive. "Merely offering a dumb radio will no longer work."
The problem is that automakers cannot charge extra for these features. With a price war raging throughout Europe, a lot is at stake.
Volume automakers are desperate to maintain their share of European subcompact sales, which totaled 1.6 million units in the first six months, according to market researchers JATO Dynamics. The region's compact segment — which totaled 1.5 million units in the first half — also is up for grabs.
So automakers are adding technology in a bid to create a cutting-edge brand image.
Well-equipped Clio
Consider the new Renault Clio, which debuted in October. Ali Kassai, program vice president of Renault's minicar and subcompact car sector, said the automaker decided to add high-tech features without charging extra. In theory, a better-equipped Clio would not need the steep discounts that its rivals were offering. "Instead of rebates, we offer more value," Kassai said.
The Clio's extras include variable-rate electric power steering, a rearview camera and high-end airbags. The most important feature will be Renault's R-Link infotainment system, which will debut in the Clio and in the upcoming Zoe subcompact EV. With R-Link, Clio owners will be able to pay for and download apps directly to a tablet-style computer screen embedded in the console. In the past, this type of technology was only available in premium cars.
In addition to the standard navigation and music apps, R-Link will send and receive e-mails and Tweets.
Not to be outdone, PSA/Peugeot-Citroen will offer its own menu of infotainment apps this year in the Peugeot 208 subcompact. The system, dubbed Peugeot Connect Apps, requires a connection key that plugs into the 208's USB port to run apps on the navigation screen.
Collision avoidance
Volkswagen has installed collision avoidance — once the exclusive province of luxury cars — in its new Golf. The Golf brakes automatically if sensors detect an imminent collision. Its onboard computer also tightens seat belts and raises the windows for improved airbag deployment. And if the car does collide with another vehicle and keeps moving, the car automatically brakes to avoid a secondary crash.
The Golf also has adaptive cruise control, plus sensors that issue alarms to prevent unintended lane changes. And if a fatigued driver steers erratically, the cockpit sounds an alarm.
In addition, the car has a touchscreen infotainment system that features a WiFi hot spot that permits in-car Internet access for smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Opel/Vauxhall also is adding sophisticated equipment on its smaller models. Its new Adam minicar has a blind-spot alert system plus a feature that parallel parks the car while the driver brakes and adjusts the vehicle's speed.
Who will pay?
While all this new technology seems fine, how will automakers recoup the cost of these high-tech features in a modestly priced car?
First, suppliers and automakers can count on high production volumes to create economies of scale. This eases tight profit margins if suppliers can count on global contracts, IHS Automotive's Buettner said.
Second, suppliers can offer safety and infotainment systems that allow automakers to add new features simply by adding software. For example, cameras used for lane departure warning also can be used to read road signs. Likewise, they can be integrated into a collision warning system.
Automakers can add new safety or infotainment functions simply by upgrading the software, thus minimizing added costs.
For infotainment systems, suppliers that cater to this approach include Harman, Continental, Visteon, Denso and Robert Bosch. For safety technologies, Valeo, Continental, Bosch and Autoliv are among the leading component suppliers, according to IHS Automotive.
Continental sees rapid growth in the development of advanced driver safety systems that use camera, radar and lasers to detect hazardous driving situations. "One billion euros is the market size in our business but that will rise to 2-4 billion in 2017 and to 8-10 billion in 2020,'' said Friedrich Angerbauer, head of Continental's advanced driver assistance systems.
Angerbauer expects cheaper laser- and radar-based systems to be standard features on most mass-market vehicles as automakers prepare for the introduction of new EuroNCAP tests covering anti-collision measures for vehicles and pedestrians in 2014.
Guillaume Devauchelle, director of r&d for Valeo, which supplies the VW Golf's park assist system, said price pressures pose challenges. Valeo must make advanced technologies affordable for small, mainstream cars, he said.
Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of the European suppliers association CLEPA, believes EU regulators should require collision avoidance braking systems such as the one offered on the VW Golf to be standard in cars. "These kinds of systems are ready and they do save lives," Gales said.
Such equipment costs automakers several hundred euros to add on a per-unit basis, but the price should decrease to about 100 euros once it becomes widely adopted, Gales said. "Standardization will drive costs down," he said. "Effective safety systems such as airbags and ABS became affordable when the industry adopted them on a wide scale," Gales added.
The democratization of technology has created a dilemma for the luxury brands, which justify their high prices by offering technology not available in mass-market cars. "Luxury carmakers do have problems differentiating themselves today," Buettner said.
The question is: How will luxury brands maintain their aura of exclusivity? One thing is for sure: The auto industry can't turn back the clock. High-tech is quickly spreading throughout the industry.

Familiar territory: Lady Bobcats advance to regional semifinals
BY Chris O�Dell, email@example.com
The Celina girls basketball team entered the postseason with losses in two of its final three district games.
Consider the slide over after three consecutive playoff wins, including Tuesday�s 65-56 overtime victory against Madison that put the Lady Bobcats into the regional semifinals for the second year in a row.
�It didn�t seem like we would even get it to overtime,� said Jordan Davis, Celina head coach. �The girls did a good job of finishing.�
�The girls that were in the game stepped up really big,� Davis said. �We just made a few plays and got it to overtime.�
It was all Celina in the extra frame, with the Lady Bobcats using an 11-2 run to close the game and Madison�s season. The contest marked the second overtime affair in Celina�s first three postseason games.
�It�s added a lot of gray hairs,� Davis said. �We�re finding ways to get it done. That�s the important thing.�
Balance was the name of the game on offense, with three Lady Bobcats reaching double figures. Junior guard Sarah Cantu and sophomore forward Kynese Davis led the group with 16 points apiece, while sophomore guard Alex Jones added 15. Davis also chipped in a game-high 21 rebounds in the game.
�That�s pretty insane,� Davis said. �And every one of them was crucial.�
The victory improved Celina�s season mark to 28-6 and put the team into a 6 p.m. regional semifinals matchup against Pittsburg on Friday at Texas A&M-Commerce University.
�[Pittsburg] is big, physical and tough,� Davis said. �Anyone that�s going to be in the regional tournament has earned their way there.�
Prior to Tuesday�s victory against Madison, the Lady Bobcats earned a 71-52 victory against Melissa. Cantu poured in a game-high 24 points in the contest, while junior guard Callie Wells added 19 and Davis chipped in 12 more.
In the game, Celina stormed out to a 31-22 lead at the break. The team then pulled away for good with a 25-point third quarter that extended its advantage to 19 points before the start of the fourth.
The Lady Bobcats now find themselves two wins away from making a return trip to the Class 3A state tournament in Austin.

difference bitween css left and padding-left
What is the difference between .classname{left :400px} and .classname{padding-left :400px} in a Position :relative divThe simplest explanation is that setting the padding affects the size of the element, but not the actual position, whereas setting the offset changes the position, but not the size.
Here's a graphic that might help:
The top image shows an element (the pink one) positioned with the left and top offset inside of its parent element (the gray one). The positioned element maintains it's size, but the edges of the element are moved away from the edges of its parent.
The bottom image shows the pink element with padding and no offset. The top and left edges of the positioned element stay in the same place (assuming top and left padding were set), but the content of the element is moved within the element itself, so it becomes larger.plz show the css of those images to understand."jitendra" said:plz show the css of those images to understand.
The top image would be similar to:.class {left: 10px; top: 10px;}
The bottom would be similar to:.class {padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;}
The images obviously aren't exactly 10px, nor are they to scale, but hopefully that helps explain it a little better :)

Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said Monday that his son, who had been driven home earlier this month by a Boston police officer amid suspicion he was impaired, was arrested over the weekend in New Hampshire on charges of operating under the influence.
In a statement, Davis said his 22-year-old son, Philip, had decided to seek treatment for substance abuse after his arrest Friday night in Plymouth, N.H.
This is plain pure gossip by a gang of journalist wannabes. . . The only reason Davis fils is worth coverage as being arrested for OUI is because of his parentage. . . . Maybe his getting driven home as allegedly happened a couple of weeks ago was an example of favorism in the Boston area brought on by who his father is... but an arrest in another state, assuming that it complies with that state's laws, is a plain outright sadness for a fellow who probably needs some kind of drying out and professional help. . . This guy Schworm and whoever assigns and edits his copy needs to be asahamed for this illustration of a family's tragedy. . . Oh yeah, I do know. . . having been on both ends of this sort of exper ience decades ago. . .
This comment has been removed.
Too bad for the Commissioner that his son has problems with alcohol. We can only hope that the kid overcomes them. As for the Commissioner, I'm sure he's heargtbroken but he should understand that anyone whose been a parent epathizes with him and his wife. I really don't think this subsequent matter is news. It's more a private family matter but figure if the Commissioner didn't immediately release the news he'd be attacked for covering-up something. It's a strange society we live in.
This comment has been removed.
Many are missing the point of this article.
Notice that until sonny boy was arrested in NH, he was just going about his merry drunk ways. The blue suits weren't doing him any favors here, and they weren't doing the citizens of Boston any favors either, it was just a matter of time before sonny boy injured someone while drunk driving.
It took police in a different state to cause some action to be taken with this problem child.
Here's the story: he was given special treatment, which then endangered other people. If the original cop had done his job, and not been afraid of retaliation by elder Davis, then the kid would probably have been in treatment a few weeks ago, and unable to immediately reoffend the way he did. Imagine if he had killed someone this time? Favoritism, patronage, cronyism, the whole "Menino culture"- these ostensibly minor evils can have major real-world consequences.
My uncle was not the Police Chief but he had a high-ranking job in my hometown and he knew all the cops. When they started picking my cousin up drunk, they did the same - took him home. I think they may not have even told my uncle for a while...This happened for several years before he was finally arrested, more than once. After time in jail, halfway houses, and the like, he was sober for about two years. Then he wrapped his truck around a telephone pole after falling off the wagon. He was such a hard-core alcoholic that I'm convinced his brain was permanently altered by the time he died. Had he been forced to confront things earlier, before so much damage had been done, maybe he would still be with us. I miss him, as do his two children who have grown up with no memory of him.
I hope Commissioner Davis's family has a better outcome.
Somehow I think the Commissioner and his wife knew of their son's problems long before this month. J. Levin is right in that change has to come from the individual, the parents can only suggest. But I take issue with trashing the BPD for the decision to drive him home earlier in the month. Colleagues help colleagues and their families. Philip was not clearly intoxicated and not actually driving drunk. Seems to me giving someone you know's son a ride home to prevent him from probable drunk driving, while clearly not policy, is also not wrong. Who hasn't helped someone they know while doing their job?
I am all for the idea of the police offering a drunk a ride home, but if it was good policy for the Commissioner's son, it should also be good policy for all drunks seen stumbling into the driver's seat. Of course, this courtesy was preferential. The officer is not going to jail the Commissioner's son. Another possibility is to have the officer call a cab (assuming the drunk has money for the fare).
Another thing that bothers me as with all other arrests: Why are the arrests made public? I think that doing so tends to tarmish the ability of the defendant to defend himself since the arrest itself has the tendency to bias the jury pool, if there is one, and to publicly disgrace the defendant and his family before he gets a fair trial.
Note, by the way, there is no information in the article that the defendant was asked to take a breathalyzer test. We do not lnow ofifcially what his alcohol level was, though I tend to believe the office's opinion he was loaded. (Occifer, occifer,wha' da ya mean? Hic)

The graduation of a big senior class last season left Southwest DeKalb wondering if it would be able to build on its streak of three straight state softball appearances.
Senior leadership by Davynn Brown and solid play by a promising group of underclassmen has put the Panthers into the AAAA state tournament for the fourth straight year.
The team earned the No. 3 seed from Region 6-AAAA with an 8-7 win over North Springs on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Southwest played at Sequoyah in a double-header Oct. 7 in a best-of-three first-round series.
"We lost a lot of good players, and we realized we couldn't just walk onto the field and win," Brown said.
Sophomore Trenece Nash and junior Imani Gayle have emerged as two of the top hitters in the county.
Gayle is third among public-school players with a .571 batting average. She has three home runs and 14 RBIs. Gayle, also the team's starting pitcher, is 7-7 with a 2.99 earned run average.
Nash, who hit a home run against North Springs, is hitting .533 with two homers and 10 RBIs.
Brown is hitting .422 with two home runs and 12 RBIs. She had two hits against North Springs, including the game-winning RBI double that bounced off the third base bag and into left field.
"I think we have more heart this year, and we've worked harder," Nash said. "We've come together as a team, and we don't let little things bother us."
The North Springs game is a good example of how the Panthers have learned to persevere. North Springs beat Southwest 7-5 in the regular season. Southwest found themselves down 7-6 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning in the region tournament. Gayle drove in the tying run and made second base on a throw to the plate. Then Brown stepped up and drilled the game-winning hit.
"We have stayed focused and put in a lot of work," Gayle said. "We make sure we're prepared for every game."
Southwest has emerged as one of the top public school programs in the county. The Panthers entered the state tournament at 9-9-1 and have won at least 10 games in each of the three previous seasons.
Brown has been part of the past four state playoff teams and knows the importance of continuing to build the softball tradition at Southwest.
"We've really had a good batch of players come through in the last five or six years," Brown said. "There's a sense of pride, and we want to give that to the people that come after us."

Well what exactly does take a mence outrage easily? Swampert is merely a Mence check, hopefully SR is up early then you force it to Outrage and usually live to Ice Beam it or if you die you make it easy pickings for your revenge killer. That's pretty much the only way to handle mence anyway.

I don't think anyone mentioned Swampert as a "counter" to Salamence, just a check. But other than that, your point is correct.

frotress is the mon for aking an outrage on demand and it can blow in mences face afterwards, skmory come close to wirlwind away that d d boost but won't be hurting mence anytime soon. Best bet would be to revenge kill mence with something like weavile or mamoswine, out rage is powerful but it dose prevent mence from switching out.

Speaking of Empoleon, a defensive one is a good counter being able to take +1 EQ i believe, and OHKOing with Ice Beam

Porygon2's still lurking around the high 50's. Come on, Porygon2, just a little bit more! Hey, it's not useless. I enjoy how it doesn't have to worry about getting OHKO'd by Ice Beam, or getting crushed by SR.
Hey, I'm Camden, and yes, I'm so new. I just started playing competitively so I'm not really that good. I'm still trying to build a good team with the best moves, and IV's, but it takes forever. BTW, I was a member of TPPC, Shadow RPG, and others, so if you recognize me (camdenml) we could talk. You can give me some tips if you want. |

I use it sometime but cb scizor is primarioly used as a hit and run since latias and magnezone can pwn scizor and choice band does good damage without setup or recoil. However if you scarf a salamence it should overtake any non scarfed latias and really beat it up with a stab outrage. it almost ohkoed once like 98% :(

The issue is that you have to try hard to make sure that an SD Scizor isn't an inferior Lucario, who has better and stronger attacks, elemental punches, and a Fighting STAB (and Close Combat), not to mention the potential to disrupt an opponent by using a special set. Scizor's primary strength is around the "switch game" with Bullet Punch and U-turn (and Pursuit to a lesser extent). Basically, Scizor is a one trick pony. Use him or use someone else.
If you want an SD LO set...Lucario If you want a Agility/Scarf set...Metagross If you want a screen support set...Bronzong/Metagross Legacy Raider reported some success with a bulky SD lefties Scizor set in an RMT, though. It may be worth looking into.

The advance trio are ruling Ubers again. What a shame. 71 usages of Exeggutor? That's lower than Luxray! Let's boost that a bit. And guys, don't run Solarbeam, Grass Knot is better.
also stop running max hp on scizor aaa 1/4 of scizors are 'sr weak'

Don't ladder much on Ubers myself, but I haven't seen any Exeggutors around. Anyways, | Kyogre | Item | Choice Specs | 42.8 | | Kyogre | Item | Choice Scarf | 30.1 | Come on people, Scarf and Specs Kyogre aren't the only things that are hot shit, especially not when every team worth it's salt has a check or even two for them. That thing is like the CB Scizor of Ubers at this point.

Max hp on scizor gives you a stealth rock number. This means you take 1 extra damage from stealth rock. Switch it in once and you would have the same much hp left as you would had you moved those 4 hp evs to defense/special defense (and then you'd therefore take hits slightly worse). Switch it in again and you now actually have less hp.
There is a thread on this. As for the "cb scizor of ubers": much worse then that actually, as over 50% of teams run kyogre! EDIT: Scizor and luke do the same thing with SD (except scizor is bulkier and can roost to, but hits less hard with all the non-priority attacks), allowing you to utilize the "soften and sweep" strategy by running both. One softens the counters before being sacraficed, allowing the other to succesfully sweep. |

Yeah, I meant that so much of the metagame centralizes around Kyogre as the OU one does around Scizor (I mean, how many Azelfs, Gengars, and Weaviles do you see any more? Scizor turned things bulky), but it is way even worse in Ubers if stuff like Quagsire is getting a fair hearing.

On another note, who uses physical Jynx and Alakazam anyway? It's probably the same person that uses Moltres in Ubers despite the presence of Ho-oh.

Gengar is not at all outclassed by rotom-a.
Gengar still has a monstrous special attack stat and possesses blistering speed (both stats equivalent to that of latios). Quote:
Rotom primarilly outclassed all of the bulky ghosts; if you want an offensive sweeper most people still (as the stats prove) turn to gengar and it's 24 greater base speed and 25 greater base special attack. EDIT: Although yes, many have stated before that scizor led to the rise of bulky offense teams (and gengar's fall to "only" 12th). |

(Boo Smogon for not putting the Platinum-exclusive Pokemon analyses on the main site) Thanks for correcting me. Better Speed and Special Attack would help Gengar's case drastically. Dusknoir, for the record, is still the bulky Ghost of choice on Wifi, though he does have the niches of being physically oriented and possessing Gravity even when Rotom is present.

Shadow Sneak is also a huge factor, Sucker Punch less so, but still pretty cool. At least that's why I use Dusknoir: priority is powerful.
Gengar is still very powerful, but from reading RMT's, more and more are running Sub and maybe HP Fire, just to protect themselves from Pursuit traps the likes of which Weavile and Tyranitar could never have imagined, fearing focus blast.

A lot of the Subs are specifically for Scizor, not Tyranitar or Weavile (Tyranitar is slow, Weavile is rare). If you predict wrong you either die to Pursuit or Bullet Punch, and sub eases that and makes Gengar a lot more useful. HP-Fire is also for dealing with Scizor quickly, though usually if it's choiced you can hit it with Thunderbolt/Focus Blast while it Pursuits or BPs, then you either finish it or switch from there based on what it does.
I'm shocked to see Breloom climbed into Top 20, while Heracross plunged in the 40s. Watch Heracross make UU before Donphan -.- Code:

Even more surprising is that Hippowdon's pairing with Skarmory was 36th last month!

Mechanics of Materials
An International Journal
Forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of advanced technological and natural materials
Mechanics of Materials is a forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of geophysical, geotechnical and technological materials, with balanced coverage of advanced technological and natural materials, with balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and field investigations. Of special concern are macroscopic predictions based on microscopic models, identification of microscopic structures from limited overall macroscopic data, experimental and field results that lead to fundamental understanding of the behavior of materials, and coordinated experimental and analytical investigations that culminate in theories with predictive quality.
Original contributions are published on the thermomechanical behavior of technological materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, various advanced composites, wood, etc., geotechnical materials such as rock and soil, and on thermomechanical processes pertaining to solid earth geophysics. The journal contains research papers, invited review articles, brief notes, letters to the editor, book reviews and news items.

Who will be the Eagles' quarterback?
A look at Eagles quarterbacks
Who will be the Eagles' quarterback?
Zach Berman
Here is the first in a series of looks at the Eagles roster:
Today: Quarterbacks
On the roster: No position will receive more debate in the coming weeks than quarterback, where the Eagles continue to evaluate Michael Vick and Nick Foles. New coach Chip Kelly insists he can adapt his offense to the quarterback and does not necessarily need a running threat. Vick's athleticism would help him if Kelly brought his Oregon offense to the Eagles, but Vick's turnover habit and his injury history will be an issue. (Kelly values taking care of the ball and staying in the game.) Kelly coached against Foles in college and has a better idea than most about Foles' ability and whether he's been limited in his career by a struggling team compared to his own shortcomings.
Vick would not be on the roster unless he's the starter, and he likely won't be on the roster regardless unless he takes a pay cut. Foles would be a candidate as a backup quarterback if the Eagles drafted a quarterback, got one via trade or in a free agency. He might even have some value – although maybe not a third-round draft choice – if they want to trade him. But Foles' salary and his experience could serve the Eagles well as a backup quarterback.
The other quarterback on the Eagles roster is Trent Edwards. Edwards would likely only be a candidate as a third quarterback, especially if the Eagles draft a quarterback. He has starting experience, an inexpensive salary and is a smart and useful quarterback in the meeting room. But if the Eagles want a third quarterback with more experience for Kelly or one who is a more mobile threat, Edwards could easily be elsewhere next season.
Not on the roster: This is the category to pay attention to for quarterback because the Eagles might need to look elsewhere for next season's starter. (In fact, on the day of Kelly's opening news conference, The Inquirer's Jeff McLane opined that Kelly's quarterback might not be on the roster.) Without knowing the system that Kelly will run, it's hard to speculate about a clear front-runner.
In the draft, there might not be a quarterback worth taking at No. 4. Geno Smith might impress in the next month and move into consideration, but it seems more likely the Eagles will take a quarterback late in the first round with a trade or early in the second round, where they pick. (49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was the No. 4 pick in the second round two seasons ago.) One name to watch will be Florida State's E.J. Manuel. The story you'll hear is how Kelly recruited him out of high school, but Manuel has much more going for him than a recruiting battle five years ago. He's a big, fast, high-percentage passer with significant experience, starting the last two seasons at Florida State. After a strong Senior Bowl, his stock is ascending.
The Eagles could also be in the running for 49ers backup quarterback Alex Smith, who has experience in the type of offense that Kelly used in college. Smith is also accurate, intelligent and has valuable experience. The question is how much of his success during the last two seasons was the byproduct of the 49ers' coaching or actual development by Smith. There will be a robust market for him, and he'll only be 29 next season.
The free-agent market is not attractive this season, although the Eagles could find a potential backup or project quarterback in that group. Ravens practice squad quarterback Dennis Dixon has started in the NFL and played under Kelly at Oregon, and he would be a worthwhile quarterback to bring into camp.
TOMORROW: Running backs.

It's ridiculous to suggest the kid doesn't have natural talent, how many 18 year olds can say they've been on a football field where he's gone and taken programs before the age of 22?
Looks more to me as if he's played for coaches who weren't capable of disciplining Vick and enjoyed the wins instead of showing him the game from a QB's perspective. Dexter- philliesphan79

reallyyyy!?!??! You mean there isn't a LUCK, RG III, or a RUSSELL WILSON in this year's draft?! In a draft that quantitatively is NOT very deep with "talent" ....you take/use that 4 th pick and you GET a player at a position that can start right now ...hmm !!! CB,LG, RG, OT, DT, FS ............I am sure everyone's heard the rumors about DIXON, back-up QB from PITTSBURGH former OREGON DUCK....like I trust our GM! Chappy

New Hornets brass already facing crisis with Paul - NBA - CBSSports.com Basketball Get on the phone NOW Joe! The article also mentions he would like to team up with other superstars like Miami manufactured this off-season. The fact we don't have any superstars is probably against us, but I think Joe's respect factor could go a long way in helping convince him to come here. Would Tay, Wilcox and Stuckey be a sweet enough deal for NO I wonder?
Stucky and Tay probably wouldn't do it. We'd have to give up some serious talent to acquire Paul. It's risky as well. He didn't look like the same guy after coming back from injury, and that's the type of injury that usually gets worse over time. It's the bone-on-bone type stuff that causes guys to miss a lot of games. Having said that, if they want Stucky and vets for CP3, then sure thing.
I think Joe should go the way that people suggest on other boards - give them Jmax, Wilcox, and skgn and trade Kwame. Sounds like a winner for both sides.
I don't know about CP3 status.. but I know one thing. Paul won't come to play in Detroit, he's tired of losing in playoffs and playing with mediocre players.. To get him, perhaps you would have to give Stuckey + Prince + WIlcox + Daye/Jerebko + 1st round pick 2011 and maybe 2012 too..
I was also going to say at least next year's first-rounder for them to even consider not hanging up the phone immediately.
Agree that CP3 probably won't go to Motown...wonder if he has no trade clause in his contract.... With that being said if we could do a multi team deal where we could pick up him and a decent big that he feels will get this team on track then I say get er done Joe. Max, Wilcox and Rip are expendable along with a draft pick.
...um webz? ...no superstars? We have Rodney freaking Stuckey! What's the Australian term for "hater"?
Seriously. You'd think a package of a rejuvenated Charlie G, 'Lil Dirk Nowitzki and Karl Malone Jr + the Joe D respect factor (How'd that turn out when the Pistons had their cap space in '09?) would have to get it done. The Pistons then would have someone to show Stuckey the ropes, play a 3 guard line-up and keep Stuckey's minutes around 26 per game which is ideal for your franchise player.
I say no to Paul, he doesn't want to come here, and with what we'd have to give up to get him we'd basically be worse than the New Orleans Hornets are right now. With that said new dynamics arise. If Dallas really wants him then it could make Tyson Chandler available. NO wants somebody to take Oak's contract with Paul, if we could move Rip for Capp Space or Traid Excepshun , then we can become the dumping grounds for Chandlers contract that allows Dallas to accomodate Paul and Oak. I'm sure Dallas will give up anyone not named Dirk for Paul.
Always seemed to me that the NBA was set up so that towns could keep their stars, and build around them with key parts. Now, everybody wants to be part of a powerhouse in a glamorous location. Soon...We'll have 10 strong franchises and a bunch of weak siblings.
It is pathetic that landing an expiring contract of a broken stiff like Chandler has become an attractive proposition for this franchise.
I think we can compile a list of players/picks without completely gutting the team to get Paul. NO need a good SG and we've got two decent ones in Rip and Gordon. Add Daye or Jerebko, Wilcox or Prince's expiring contract and on paper you can have a trade that works for both teams. However, the issue at stake is Paul wants to go to a contender, or perform a coup like the Miami thing. So, he'll never come to Detroit.
Has Rodney Stuckey demanded to be traded to Chicago, LA , Orlando or Boston yet to play with a contender or superstar?
LRMR won't let Paul "collude" with anyone, especially in the East; can't have competition for the three stooges. So there's no way CP3 gets traded to Knicks or Magic.
But Pauls departure could make Emeka available, I personally think he's available now. A deal where we send them Tayshaun's expiring and a future 1st rd pick might actually get it done, it'd free up a ton of money for them to start rebuilding with.
New Orleans would be the ones sending the pick in that deal. I'd take Emeka, but that contract is poison. Giving up an expiring (that can actually play like Tay) AND a pick while taking on that contract, would be severely overpaying. Our best bet is to try to work a 3-team deal where Rip and Paul go to a contender where we get Okafor, and expirings/picks go to NOH from the 3rd team. Rip for Emeka is pretty even on it's own, contract/talent-wise, but since NOH will be in full-blown rebuild mode, they'll probably be looking to dump Emeka's deal with CP3. This is where Joe need to come up with something. Orlando maybe? Monroe/Okafor would be an intriguing frontcourt

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Very committed and helpful. Esp. helpful to me as my parents both fell ill just before the trip and he voluntarily lent me his mobile so that I could ring and check up on them more than once and then pay him back. Very caring. The other thing was managing to juggle our trip and fit in a day of climbing up to Tiger's Nest (Bhutan) which was, for some reason, not on our trip agenda. This was fantastic. Kiran arranged it and was very patient as I walked the slowest! Please try to put it onto the agenda, it is as good as seeing the Paro festival.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Be prepared for some long journeys on rough windy roads. Be really aware this is not the time of year for blue and clear skies of the Himalayas. Take a hot water bottle for Dargeelling and some very warm clothes for this part of the trip-it was seriously cold!
Do you have anything else to add?
Please consider a Bhutan only trip to include the central part of Bhutan and time it in Oct to some of the festivals in that area and clear blue skies! Also, we managed to fit in seeing some archery which was great fun in Bhutan-if you can, please see if you can incorporate this for future trips.

the moon on a leash
november 18
Cloudy, dark and windy.
Walking by flashlight
at six in the morning,
my circle of light on the gravel
swinging side to side,
coyote, raccoon, field mouse, sparrow,
each watching from darkness
this man with the moon on a leash.
It's April, National Poetry Month (the sweetest or cruelest month, or maybe both, depending on one's relationship to Chaucer and Eliot). And though poetry ought to be celebrated every month, calling out April to notice verse can't be a bad thing.
I was reminded that it's April by this NPR story about Maria Schneider and Dawn Upshaw collaborating on an album of settings of Ted Kooser's Winter Morning Walks. The poem highlighted in the story, which turns a flashlight into the moon on a leash watched by wary crepuscular creatures, is just the sort of quiet magic spell that good poetry can accomplish. Later this month I'll be camping and hiking with my Boy Scout troop, and I'm sure that this image of the moon on a leash will come back and make setting up tents in the dark a little less tedious and little more wonderful.

Phase III, Multi-Center, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ON 01910.Na Administered in a 72-Hour Continuous IV Every Other Week in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Patients with Excess Blasts Relapsing After, or Refractory to, or Intolerant to Azacitidine or Decitabine.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
What is the purpose of this trial?
This is a Phase III open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter study (up to 50 centers). Approximately 270 patients with MDS classified as RAEB-1 and RAEB-2 using the WHO classification and as RAEB-t and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) using the FAB classification who failed, became intolerant to, or progressed after treatment with 5-azacitidine or decitabine administered during the past 2 years, will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio into the following 2 treatment regimens:
· Best Supportive Care (BSC) + ON 01910.Na 1800 mg/24 hr administered as a 72-hr continuous intravenous (CIV) infusion on Days 1, 2, and 3 of a 2-week cycle (N = approximately 180 patients)
· BSC (N = approximately 90 patients).
Patients will be stratified at entry by bone marrow (BM) blasts (5% to 19% vs. 20% to 30%). After completing the first eight 2-week cycles (i.e., after 16 weeks of treatment), the frequency of further 72-hr CIV infusions will be decreased to an administration on Days 1, 2, and 3 of a 4-week cycle.
Patients will remain treated on study until 2006 International Working Group (IWG) progression criteria are met (i.e., 50% increase of BM blasts or worsening of cytopenias) or until death from any cause, whichever comes first.
Patients who progress to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) while on study should be offered either standard treatment for AML or enrollment in an appropriate investigational study if they are eligible. These treatments with their start and end dates should be documented and patient survival time will be documented for all randomized patients.
Cross-over of BSC patients to ON 01910.Na after progression will not be allowed. However, patients in the BSC-only group will be allowed, as medically justified, access to low-dose cytarabine 20 mg/m2 subcutaneously (SC) once daily for the first consecutive 14 days of each 28-day cycle, up to 4 cycles, until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops. Low-dose cytarabine will be delayed as needed until recovery of blood counts. All study participants will be allowed, as medically justified, access to RBC and platelet transfusions and to growth factors (erythropoietin, Filgrastim [G-CSF]). Hydroxyurea will be allowed to manage blastic crisis with hyperleukocytosis when patients transition to leukemia.

Fritz the Cat [DVD]
Screenplay : Ralph Bakshi (based on characters created by Robert Crumb)
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1972
For his first film, writer/director Ralph Bakshi decided to do what no one else had ever tried before: Create a feature-length adult cartoon. Bakshi, an animation wunderkind who was already a 10-year veteran of the Terrytoons animation studio when he was in his early 30s, teamed up with producer Steve Krantz and raised almost $1 million for the production. The result was Fritz the Cat, a frequently hilarious, sometimes maddeningly uneven, but always provocative satire of '60s counterculture and anti-establishment sentiments that will forever bear the distinction of being the first "X-rated animated movie."
The titular character was borrowed from the work of infamous underground cartoonist R. Crumb. For reasons that vary depending on which rumor you have heard, Crumb was never happy with Bakshi's film, and at one point he sued to stop production (one version of the story has it that Bakshi went around Crumb's back in order to secure the rights to use the character). Most likely, Crumb was upset because Bakshi didn't follow his vision, but rather used the character of Fritz as a vehicle through which he could tell his own story. Bakshi also borrowed some of the Crumb's stylistic techniques (particularly the heavy use of lines), giving the characters in Fritz the Cat a look that is not apparent in any of Bakshi's other films.
Production began in mid-1969, near the height of the era conventionally thought of as "the '60s," when America was in social turmoil and the generation gap had never seemed so wide. Bakshi situates Fritz right in the middle of this social and cultural upheaval, presenting the character as a restless college student at NYU who decides to "bug out" and experience everything America has to offer him, which consists primarily of experimenting with sex, drugs, and revolution. Selfish and misguided, Fritz is an amusing central character who constantly spouts cliched counterculture platitudes more because he likes the way they sound than because he knows what they mean.
Although aimed primarily at those who experienced "the '60s" in all its raw glory, Fritz the Cat is essentially a parody of counterculture values, exposing at best hypocrisy, and at worst the danger of radical hippies and anarchic revolutionaries. The movie makes a strong statement right from the first image, which shows a construction worker urinating from the top of a skeletal high-rise right on top of a hippie's head. It doesn't get much more obvious than that.
Animation proved to be an excellent medium for telling such a story, as it allowed Bakshi to employ the kind of comical hyperbole that is usually not possible in live-action films. Bakshi tends to work in various shades of grotesquerie and rudeness; he freely courts controversy and derision in a way that is central to his art. In Fritz the Cat, he packs the screen with exaggerated imagery of bathtub orgies, psychedelic drug trips, and disturbing violence. One of Bakshi's chief strengths is his willingness to mix tones with near abandon; at one moment you're holding your sides laughing, the next you're wincing in discomfort. This more often than not works, although it sometimes contributes the general unevenness of the work, something typical of all of Bakshi's films.
The animation in Fritz the Cat, the product of some 50 artists (including Jim Davis, who would go on to considerable fame and fortune as the creator of another cartoon cat, Garfield) is rough and tumble, but completely appropriate to the film's raw aesthetic and rawer look at politics and power. Bakshi uses the convention of animated animals as stand-ins for human characters, taking it to its outer extremes by equating various species with social subcultures. Thus, African-Americans are portrayed as crows, police officers are pigs, and anarchic revolutionaries are reptiles. Bakshi's subversive employment of stereotypes would get him into trouble with his later films, especially 1975's Coonskin, as protestors constantly misinterpreted his racial jabs as racist, rather than satirical.
Of course, some 30 years after its controversial premiere, Fritz the Cat doesn't look nearly so radical. The tagline—"He's X-rated and animated!"—looks more silly than subversive. Yet, despite the somewhat meandering nature of its plot, the film's underlying messages about social hypocrisy on all levels still has a strong bite to it, and it remains one of the more creative and daring forays in feature-length animation.
Fritz the Cat DVD | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |
Anamorphic | Yes |
Audio | Dolby 1.0 monaural |
Languages | English, French |
Subtitles | English, French, Spanish |
Supplements | Original theatrical trailer |
Distributor | Metro Goldwyn Mayer Home Entertainment |
Release Date | December 11, 2001 |
Fritz the Cat is presented in a new anamorphic widescreen transfer in its original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio, which is a relief because MGM did a disservice to Bakshi's Heavy Traffic (1973) last year by releasing it on DVD in full-frame. The image quality of Fritz is generally quite good, with strong, bold colors that are well saturated and a nice level of clear detail. There is some white speckling that becomes quite apparent during the darker scenes, and there are a few quick glimpses of white scratches down the middle of the frame. Otherwise, the movie looks quite new. | |
The soundtrack is presented in its original monaural mix, and it sounds as good as can be expected. Some of the voices sound oddly distant, as though they were recorded through a tube, but that is likely a result of the original recording sessions, not the transfer. The wah-wah guitar-laden '60s rock soundtrack sounds surprisingly good, although it is understandably limited by the one-channel mix. | |
The only supplement included is the film's original theatrical trailer, presented in anamorphic widescreen. |

I come from a background of distros that use root and not sudo by default. I am new to it and I have perhaps a simple question about sudo. Where are all the permissions? I understand setting up /etc/sudoers and groups, but then there is the users-admin gui. What, where are these settings? A user is not in the group sudo only adm, yet /etc/sudoers is set to allow the sudo group, nothing about adm. Is there another config about sudo elsewhere? Because I have the behavior that I want already, root password for sudo on everything and only allowed through one user. but I'm just confused about this and want to make a note of how this works. Does it all default to gksu automatically? If so, why is it still reading config from sudoers? I have this line and it's being honored:
%sudo hostname=(ALL)NOPASSSWD:/usr/bin/mintupdate
No prompt for mintupdate, but user not in sudo group, either. What's going on?

Denon's been to headphones what the Rolling Stones have been to rock: Both enjoy an unassailable reputation even though they haven't done anything significant for a long time. I'm betting the Stones stick to that plan, but as of yesterday, Denon's back in play with a new line of 11 headphones — plus a couple of cool new AirPlay/DLNA speakers, too.
A couple of weeks back we took a listen to a couple of DAC/headphone amplifier combo units from ADL and FiiO that did it all — covering your digital audio and headphone amplification needs at home and on the go — but you don't always need to do it all, do you? There are plenty of us who really just need better audio on the desktop. Luckily, you'll find that the market's rich these days with small, do-it-all USB devices meant to do just that — at surprisingly little cost.
When Bang & Olufsen unvelied the Beolit 12 portable speaker at this year's CES, company VP Henrik Lorensen described it as the first entry in a new brand, aimed at courting a different kind of B&O customer — somebody younger, hipper, and probably unfamiliar with the B&O brand to begin with.
Well, just when you thought AirPlay (and, to some extent, Bluetooth) devices had the stylish wireless desktop all-in-one music system market all to themselves, along comes Aperion's new Aris Wireless speaker to shake things up (and, possibly, to finally make Windows 7's AirPlayesque DLNA
If you've ever tried to jazz up a party with the speaker built into your iPhone, you know how pathetic that can sound. These days, everyone is coming out with portable speaker systems (don't call them boomboxes!) for MP3 players, but they all require one thing: Power. Now, we all love power, but AC power isn't always available where we want to party (eg. poolside or the beach).
Everybody wants better sound out of their headphones, but (and here's a shocker, I know) not everyone wants to own a lot of hardware to make that happen, especially if you want to take your show on the road every now and then. Whether budget-tightening precludes your investing in a portable listening rig to supplement your home setup or you're just a minimalist, you might just be in luck. Low-cost audio gear leaders FiiO and Alpha Design Labs (the personal audio wing of high-end connector kings Furutech) have each introduced some impressive do-it-all devices that just might cover all of your digital listening needs.
I recently received a thoughtful e-mail from S+V reader Michael Kiley. He commiserated with my perception that the general level of sound quality has declined. Like me, he worried that the rise of mobile phones as our preferred playback source, the popularity of listening to compressed files stored or streamed (and through earbuds), isn't exactly making for audiophile heaven. Mr. Kiley's letter provided some perspective and got me to thinking…
For years, TV manufacturers have been striving to make the biggest and best TV displays. Every year in Las Vegas, the Consumer Electronics Show has been a competition to see who could show off the most ridiculously humongous TV screen.
The dirty little secret of the iOS aftermarket accessory world (at least where audiophiles are concerned) is that Apple's various bricks and slabs actually sound fairly good out of the box. Output impedance of the headphone jack is comfortably low (around 5 ohm for iPods and iPads most cases, below 1 ohm for the iPhone 4/4s), the onboard DAC isn't a slouch — totally adequate for on-the-go, and for everyday desktop listening, you could do a lot worse.
But that might not be enough for you.
It's hardly a new trend, hiring a high-end audio company to design — maybe build — an audio system upgrade for a car. Bose does it all the time, as do THX, B&W, Lexicon, and B&O
It's win-win, better audio, a bit of extra profit, and brand exposure for the audio company. But when it's a pairing of two storied companies like Porsche and Burmester, color me interested.
Conveniently, that color is "Yachting Blue."
You gotta say this for House of Marley: They keep their branding consistent. The new Bag of Rhythm iPhone/iPod dock isn't some sleek, silvery concoction designed for some baldhead to keep on his credenza while he's dreaming up new ways to exploit the working class. Nope, the Bag of Rhythm is built to sling over your shoulder, carry to the park, and play reggae tunes when your drum circle takes a break.
Many audio manufacturers have addressed the changes that room acoustics afflict on our sound systems. But until a week ago, I knew of no audio manufacturers who've addressed the changes that our hearing causes on sound.

Hickman Building Supply is this week's Surviving the Hard Times business.
For almost 50 years, Hickman Building Supply has been at 821 North 19th Street in Middlesboro.
Ben A. Hickman opened Hickman Building Supply in 1964. The store has gradually expanded over the years to the point where the business has now grown into several buildings.
Originally, just the front of the store was a showroom with the rest of the building used as a warehouse. The store has expanded every three of four years since the business opened in order to accommodate the increasing needs of the business.
Hickman currently has 15 employees, four of which are members of the Hickman family. Two of Ben's sons and two of his grandsons help run the store.
In regards to the economy, Hickman Building Supply is holding their own.
"Oh yes, it's affected us but it's not hurt us that bad," said Hickman.
Hickman talked about how his family's other businesses have helped the store remain successful and will continue to help the store survive in future hard economic times.
"We have a lot of rental units that keep us going," explained Hickman. "(They) take care of us when (and if) business is bad."
The family businesses are not the only thing that has kept Hickman busy for the past 50 years; he served as Middlesboro mayor for 17 years, from 1994 to 2011.
Hickman Building Supply is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. If you have questions about specific supplies, Hickman Building Supply can be reached at 606-248-4575.
To nominate a long-standing locally owned business to be featured in Surviving the Hard Times, contact Reina Parker Cunningham at email@example.com or by phone at 606-248-1010, ext. 205.

The favourited distrobution of Linux that I've found among my favourite Linux geeks. Supposed to be a bit less newbie-friendly than Mandrake, but meh. It has a really nice installation guide and FAQ.. about 40 pages all together. I've never seen anything like that with other distros.
Also a small fast penguin or something. Gentoo has a lot of documentation, man. That's a very good thing. All my Linux-geek friends like it.
1. | gentoo | ||
Watching shit scroll by for hours makes me a Linux expert overnight! I like gentoo and hondas.
2. | Gentoo | ||
A GNU/Linux distribution that isn't as easy to install as Red Hat-based distributions, but is very stable. You have to build it from source. It's worth it, though, as it builds into your system. It takes three commands to install Gentoo.
# cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf && grub && init 6 That's the first one. |
4. | Gentoo | ||
A fast-growing distro of Linux, geared towards optimisation and people who like to tinker than other distros. It's straight forward to install if you RTFM, but still takes ages as it compiles everything from source code, so that it is faster and more optimised for your system.
5. | gentoo | ||
THE linux distro. The absolute best one there is. It's actually not as hard to install as you might think. They have an awesome installation guide, follow it exactly, and you're as good as gold, furthermore you compile your own kernel, if done right, all your hardware is supported 100%. If your software isn't listed in the gentoo repo, install layman to get unsupported packages. One of the best things about gentoo, is that your software is ALWAYS up to date, you compile the very latest version yourself, you will never be behind the times. Also due to the awesomeness of USE flags, you can compile your software JUST the way YOU want it to compile. There is no limit to what you can do, if you use gentoo! Gentoo, THE linux distro.
