Nyeri Good Shepherd is a private, mixed, day and boarding school located in Nyeri County. The School is one of the best-known and most sought-after schools in the region, Nyeri Good Shepherd was started way back in 1993 as a kindergarten. The beginning was in deed very humble since it had an initial enrolment of just 9 pupils. In the following year, the school was registered as a primary school and it admitted pupils for standard one under the 8-4-4 curriculum.Nyeri Good Sherpherd School has grown into one of the most respected schools in Kenya and East Africa.
The Nyeri Good Shepherd Academy will receive visitors from Denmark courtesy of Kijani Institute. The visitors are forerunners before the launching of an exchange programme between pupils from Denmark and pupils from our school. The visitors will visit our school from Monday to Friday. There are schedules of events planned to take place each day.

Well, it's up and launched. I have been working on a personal website to share resources for liturgical catechesis - and it now has enough on it to be useful, although I will continue to add items to it.
The Liturgical Catechist features what I consider the best and most-useful resources for catechesis for, about and from Catholic liturgy. These are the websites, books, videos and more that I consider essential to the ministry of every catechist and every liturgist. Take a look... and bookmark it if you like what you see. Thanks!

We have stayed at this hotel for over 20 yrs off and on. Some of that time we have resided in Utah and more of that time, we have resided in Seattle area.
We have had celebrated our anniversary, Mother's Day, Bday's and Valentines and attended summer Art Festival's, frequently,staying at this hotel(area) always at SilverKing except for a three day stay one time( at Shadow Ridge a day) as Silver King was booked.
We traveled to Utah and stayed at the Silver King for the Olympics, and two Christmas's since we have lived in Seattle area the past several yrs.
Our favorite thing about the SilverKing is the availability of hot tubs in your own private room, the updated decor and most of all, probably, the indoor/outdoor year round pool and exercise/sauna rooms.
WE also reatly appreciate, this year,(new to us from last yr?) at parking garage level, the vending machines wwhich held products you may need, such as mini sewing kit or aspirin etc.!!
Also greatly appreciate the underground parking.
About all he SilverKIng needs now to be perfect, is a kitchen for room service.
HOWEVER, there are many places that deliver food and many places of great food fare are close at hand!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located just steps from the PayDay lift at the base of Park City Mountain Resort, you'll find sophisticated mountain luxury wrapped in local mining nostalgia, with hundreds of historic mining artifacts and photos thoughtfully placed throughout the hotel's halls and common areas.

Steven Bowditch has targeted a big performance at the US PGA Championship as he looks to continue his quest to become one of the top 50 golfers in the world.
Having pushed his way to a career high 60th in the rankings on the back of his second US tour victory in Texas in May, and with some new-found consistency, Bowditch now has his eye on a big finish to the year.
Known previously as a streaky player the 32-year-old is in the midst of his most consistent period ever on the US Tour, which he joined in 2006.
After his breakout win in 2014 Bowditch remained inconsistent and in his first 18 starts in this season he had a runner-up finish and one further top-15 result but notched up nine missed cuts and a disqualification.
However, in his past nine starts he has his second win, three other top 15s and importantly, just one missed cut.
"This is where I want to be, still improving, still trying to get better and better, playing consistently in the big events, and getting towards the top 50 in the world where you play with the best players week in and week out," Bowditch told AAP.
"I am only just getting the taste of it and hopefully I can keep it up and find ways to contend often."
His late season push starts at the US PGA Championship this week at Whistling Straits, where the Queenslander will look to lock up a berth on the International team for the Presidents Cup and also push his way into the US PGA Tour Championship.
Sitting just fractions out of the automatic qualifying zone for Nick Price's International side with three weeks to go before the side is picked for the biennial team event against the USA, Bowditch knows his fate is in his own hands.
"Those two big goals to finish the year, they are in the front of my mind," Bowditch confirmed.
"I have played my way into a position where they are realistic goals and things I really want to get done so I know another good week here will have me on the right path."
Bowditch is 20th on the US PGA tour FedEx Cup list heading towards the playoffs so one STRONG finish could lock up the berth at the tour championship for the best 30 players.
Those who make it to East Lake Country Club get starts in all four majors next year, something Bowditch has never achieved.
"It's like anything – It is baby steps before you start walking," Bowditch said.
"I have to learn about my game on tougher and tougher golf courses and how to react when things go bad, slowing down and making sure you keep your head.
"The most disappointing part of the last two weeks is I've been right there going into Sunday and had some bad rounds, and even the British Open I did the same.
"I need to fix that part of my game, learn from it and go in this week firing and ready to go."

A flitch beam consists of two pieces of wood with a steel plate sandwiched between them. It is a structural element used in building construction when a beam stronger than an all-wood beam is required, but the strength of an all-steel beam isn't needed.
Measure the distance you want to span or consult blueprints to determine the length of the flitch beam.
Determine how much weight the beam needs to support. Account for structural components such as joists that will rest on the beam.
Find the total load on the beam by adding the loads you determined in Step 2.
Determine how much clearance is required beneath the beam. Choose the thickest lumber possible for the beam while still maintaining clearance. You will need two pieces of the same length to sandwich the steel.
Consult an engineering table in a structural engineering textbook to determine the required thickness of the steel plate, based on the length of the beam and the load it needs to carry. You can also find a table through the National Association of Home Builders website in the link provided below.
Tips & Warnings
- Flitch beam designs should be reviewed by a structural engineer. Failure to accurately account for structural loads could have serious consequences, including building collapse.

I've been looking for this on the web and in the Spiceworks community and I came up more or less empty:
is there a way on a given Windows computer (part of a domain) to have some sort of script/app/service that will detect when somebody connects to that computer through one of the admin shares defined on the computer?
Aug 10, 2011 at 10:10 UTC
I've been looking at a product from ManageEngine http:/
We've also been looking at these companies that have a similar product.

I can see that this would be difficult to detect. There is no difference between an admin share and a normal share (except how they are created).
I seem to recall a monitoring program called SNARE that may record this activity, or at least centralize the reporting.
I guess I would have to ask, do you need these shares enabled at all?
Aug 10, 2011 at 9:57 UTC
Yes, we need the admin shares because that's how we push all the security/app updates to our domain clients - the app we use for that relies on admin shares.
The majority of domain clients have no other shares defined so I guess the request would not be so much to detect that a normal share is used vs. an admin share but instead to detect that some external authorized user is currently connected to a particular computer through a particular share.
The 'Computer Management' app in Windows has something similar under System Tools -> Shared Folders where it shows what existing connections make use of what share and so on ... I'd like something that gets to that same data but in a proactive way, alerting the user that a connection was just made as opposed to requiring somebody to check that.
I would also settle for a way to audit/track that a particular admin share was used, by whom and so on.

A vaulted ceiling often gets ignored during the decorating process when it should be a key feature in the room's design. A vaulted ceiling already has a small amount of character due to its height, but adding details such as paint, beams or texture helps tie the ceiling into your home's design theme.
Painting a vaulted ceiling with a color that complements the room is an excellent way to complete the look of the space. For instance, if you have wood elements throughout the room, paint the ceiling a similar brown tone. Matching the wall color to the ceiling color makes the room appear small despite the high ceilings, so use a color on the ceiling that subtly contrasts the wall colors.
You can also paint designs onto a vaulted ceiling. This design concept is especially ideal if you have solid color flooring; homes with fancy floor tiles need solid color ceilings, but reversing this idea allows you to embellish your ceiling and get the same effect. Painted designs work best on round, high ceilings.
Adding architectural detail to vaulted ceilings such as wooden beams helps your ceiling blend into your room's décor. High ceilings can tend to make your furniture look small because the vast open space swallows everything in it; therefore, incorporating an eye-catching ceiling detail can bring the focal point of the room back to eye level. You must use caution when planning to add architecture to your vaulted ceiling because too much of it can make the ceiling appear too heavy for the room and the ceiling will override your room's furniture. Focusing on emphasizing the room's characteristics subtly helps you avoid overpowering it. Beams work well on ceilings with flat surfaces, whether it is a traditional flat ceiling or a ceiling that progresses to a point.
You can incorporate texture on vaulted ceilings a couple of ways: textured paint, trays or coffers. Textured paint makes the room look like a single unit because it draws the ceiling into the room's design. If all the walls in the room are a light color, such as white or beige, you can keep the high ceilings the same color and still draw the room's focal point down simply by adding texture. The benefit of using textured paint is that it works on any shape vaulted ceiling.
Using wood to add trays or coffers to flat vaulted ceilings works well when the floors are a solid color and texture. You can paint the ceiling one color, and add colored coffers that match the floor for a contrasted look. If you incorporate a single tray with wood trim, you can also contrast the trim color with the ceiling or paint it the same color and use the tray for adding texture.

Reflecting on the Power/Energy Crisis in Ghana

Reflecting (thinking outside the box) on the Power/Energy Crisis in Ghana
"Seek ye first the continuous and sustainable supply of electrical power and water resources and all other industrialization would be added unto thee"
The main driving force for industrialization is water resources management, the internal combustion engine and the steam turbine vis-à-vis, electrical power generation. Industrialization of modern human societies is mostly based on some water resources, internal-combustion engine and the steam turbine. In the special case of Africa where the indigenous people have shown beyond reasonable doubt that they do not have the capacity to indigenously industrialize without foreign help, it becomes imperative to secure these resources in order to expect any form of industrialization. This is true because any form of industrial resources that will be provided by external sources will assume the availability of water, internal combustion engine and the steam turbine for electrical power generation.
The current electrical power crisis has demonstrated the folly of "419 elitism" in Ghana toward any form of industrialization. We learned from secondary school (high school)that to be able to solve any pure mathematics problem, we must understand the problem, define the problem, set the boundary conditions, identify the various alternative approaches, and have the necessary resources to be able to use any of the alternative approaches to solve the problem. To be able to solve the recurring electrical power generating problem in Ghana, it is important that we understand the problem, define the problem, set the necessary boundary conditions, consider different alternative approaches and look at the available resources to solve the problem.
Let us evaluate critically (outside the box) the current recurring problem of power crisis in Ghana. Firstly, we need to define the problem through a simple house clearing exercise: Let us consider the total capacity of power generation available in Ghana today under ideal operating conditions. The total power generation capacity in Ghana today (from available VRA data) is as follows: 1020 MW (megawatts)from Akosombo hydro electric plant, 160 MW from Kpong hydro electric plant, and 550 MW from the Aboadzie thermal plant resulting in a total of 1730 MW of generating capacity. Under ideal conditions this total power generation capacity will approximately be equal to 15,155 GWhr (or 13 - 15 billion kWh) per year. It is instructive to note that this ideal power generating capacity from the hydro electric plants at Akosombo and Kpong is similar to the power generation capacity from the hydro plants operated by TVA in USA (approximately 10.0 billion kWh per year). At the lowest electrical retail price of $0.05 per kWh (based on the lowest electrical retail price for TVA in USA), the annual income from this power generating capacity is about $757 million. (According to the budget statement for 2006, crude oil imports were fixed at $697.21 million). Is this electrical retail price real or imaginary for Ghana? What is the cost of generating power in Ghana by VRA in Mills per kWh (A mill is 1/10 of one cent)? Is this estimated revenue real for a country like Ghana with the gross domestic product of about $6.2 billion? Is the gross domestic product of Ghana capable of sustaining such revenue for the cost of electrical power? Remember this income to purchase electrical power will represent about 9.30% of the GDP of the country. Is this real and reasonable or a fantasy, like many things in Ghana? If VRA were able to produce this amount of electricity, would the economy of Ghana be able to sustain the purchase of all the power and generate this revenue for VRA? What is the current total annual expenditure (operating, fuel, maintenance and cost of capital) for VRA? What is the total cost to VRA to produce the ideal amount of electrical power? Can VRA economically produce and sell electricity at the stated retail price of $0.05 per kWh? Next, what is the total current electrical power demand for the population of Ghana (including residential, industrial and commercial)?
The real situation is completely different from the ideal situation. Based on economic data obtained from Ghanaweb, the electricity production in 1999 from VRA was 5.5 billion kWh per year. The consumption was 5.57 billion kWh per year. A June 4, article on Ghanaweb by Mr. Ato Ahwoi, stated that electricity production from VRA for sale to ECG in Jan 2007 and March 2007 were 455 GWh and 470 GWh respectively. These figures for 2006 were very similar to those in 2007. These figures are equivalent to about 5.5 billion kWh per year which is the same as the figures for 1999. Mr. Ahwoi stated further that in the short term, the government would have to resort to more power generation with small generators (1.0 to 2.5 MW capacities) at unit cost of $0.24 per kWh. Does this suggest that the cost of electricity in Ghana is in the range of $0.15 to $0.25 per kWh? Is this suggested figure correct? If it is correct, then it is significantly higher than the average retail price of electricity in USA (the average retail price is about $0.09 per kWh). I have just found out (SIL Ghanaweb) that the cost of electricity for May 2007 in Ghana was 1,625 cedis per kWh. This is equivalent to $0.17 per kWh. Certainly something is wrong with the electrical power industry of Ghana and some drastic measures need to be taken to arrest the situation. It would not surprise me to find out (after a review of power generation data from VRA and ECG) that the electricity generation and supply to Ghana have always been around the figures quoted above. Also, the same data would show that ECG has not been able to provide continuous and sustained electricity supply during its existence. So my dear good people of Ghana, the electrical power crisis in Ghana today is not due solely to the current low level of the Volta Lake. The fact of the matter is that VRA has in all probability been producing the same amount of power for the consumption of the people of Ghana since its existence. Therefore, it does not make sense to blame the current crisis solely on the level of water in the Volta Lake. If the good people of Ghana would get rid of the mental block that allows them to accept mediocrity and had challenged the ruling elites, they would have learned earlier that these "419 elites" have no answer to the crisis and the crisis would not end soon if they continue to rely on their expertise.
The next series of questions to be answered by VRA and ECG include the following: management of the companies VRA and ECG, maintenance of the assets, facilities and infrastructure, planning, innovation, accountability, and commercialization to provide and sustain continuous supply of electrical power for consumption by the good people of Ghana. Does the ECG have the management skills available in Ghana to be able to provide continuous and sustainable electrical power for consumption by the good people of Ghana if VRA can produce it? Do these two companies possess the business skills and savvy to maintain, preserve and sustain the assets, facilities and infrastructure of these companies to allow them to continue to provide continuous and sustainable electrical power for consumption by the good people of Ghana?
These are some of the initial common sense critical questions that the CEO of VRA, the CEO of ECG and the so-called energy experts in Ghana should answer before we begin to tackle the problem of water level in the Volta Lake. If we cannot find common sense and real answers to these questions then other issues become irrelevant. Because if VRA cannot generate enough income to operate their plants then whether the water level is high or low becomes a mute point.
If these questions can be answered in a positive, sensible and realistic manner then we can come back to evaluate the resources available for us to solve this problem. It may turn out that this problem cannot be solved at this stage of Ghana's development given the nature of the problem. In that case the good people of Ghana would have to accept the fact that continuous and sustainable supply of electrical power is beyond their reach and would have to live with that fact for now. After all, the good people of Ghana have lived with this problem and other simple problems (clean and potable water, toilet and sanitation facilities) of basic necessities of live for almost 50 years.
The good people of Ghana should demand their government to establish a new department of energy and water resources management to deal with this problem in order to have any chance of industrialization. This is warranted, even if it means bringing in expatriates to operate and manage the energy and water resources of the country. The home-based elites have had their chances and blew them. The government should allocate at least $20 million (the same amount that was wasted in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the "scam of independence") research and development funds to support indigenous research and development to find permanent and sustainable solutions to the power/energy problem in the country.
It is interesting to read on these forums and the local media about the blame game that goes on in Ghana about the power crisis. In the 60's while attending secondary school (boarding) in Kumasi, we used to experience power outages and it sometimes resulted in cancellation of examinations and early school dismissals (vacations). But there were no nationwide complaints about the crisis because majority of the people in Ghana did not have access to power and they cared less about power outages. In addition, there were only three or four newspapers and one radio station in the country controlled by the government. Therefore, power outages were not an important issue. When I lived at UST in Kumasi in 1979 and 1980, we did experience constant power outages coupled with water shortages. Whenever I have traveled to Ghana for vacation (in the 80's 90's and 00's) I have experienced power outages and water shortages both in Accra and the other places that I have visited. So, for the young and unsuspecting ones that may have the chance to read this article, take it from me that the power crisis is not a creation of the current (NPP) government, nor that of the previous (NDC) government. Please, do not expect that any government that will succeed the present government can solve the power/energy problem under our existing system of governance because you know that they cannot. And, one more thing, the ruling elites in Ghana have no clue as to how to solve this problem. If they did, they would have solved it a long time ago. After all, they have had over forty years to solve it and have not been successful. All the ad-hoc and temporary measures that they are taking now will not do any good and the crisis will still persist in the foreseeable future.
Lastly, if the economics of generating power for consumption in Ghana by VRA and ECG are not favorable, then the first step to make them favorable is either to cut the expenditure for VRA and ECG or increase the revenue from sale of electricity. The obvious logical expenditure reduction will be to reduce personnel cost, eliminate the insane perks offered to management at VRA and other such organizations. The other critical information that the CEO of VRA should provide is this: What are the real implications of the level of water in the Volta Lake for power generation (explain for the layman)? Does the low level of water mean operation of fewer generating units or reduction in the power generated by each unit? Are there any conservation measures that VRA could take to alleviate the suffering of the people of Ghana caused by the shortage of power generated at this stage?
This problem (power/energy crisis) would require short term, medium term and long term solutions. Are the ruling elites and the so-called experts in Ghana capable of solving this problem? Answers to all of the above questions would allow for suggestions of appropriate solution(s) to the problem. Let us put our heads together and come up with real and common sense solutions to solve this problem.

Abhishek Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor
Ahmed (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and his family migrated to East Pakistan after the partition in 1947. However, after the formation of Bangladesh in 1971, he and several other people were forced to re-locate to the western part of Pakistan. To do this by land, they have to go through India. They get as far as Bhuj, but afterward they are assisted by an un-named Indian known only as "Refugee"(Abhishek Bachchan), who helps them trek their way across the Great Rann of Kutch to Pakistan. He lives by his own rules where he considers the people who hire him are mere objects and refuses to be drawn into their emotional baggage. Then he meets Nazneen Ahmed (Kareena Kapoor), the young daughter of Manzur Ahmed, and he forgets his rule and falls in love with her.

With Platform as a Service (PaaS), applications are hosted by a complete computing solution stack in the cloud. The subscriber does not need to worry about infrastructure or hosting environment administration. PaaS products continue to be rapidly accepted and consumed by subscribers.
PaaS allows an enterprise to do more with limited resources. However, careful choices still need to be made to ensure that deployments are not constrained by poor scalability, lack of interoperability, or vendor lock-in. A properly architected cloud application can be ported to multiple providers to allow for global reach, a clearer growth path, and future flexibility.
Finding the right PaaS product is crucial to successful adoption and deployment. We have developed the ODCA PaaS Interoperability Usage Model to guide RFP creation for the PaaS solutions you are looking for.
The choice between a PaaS and an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution can be made clear with the right information. They both can be a part of the long-term strategy of the enterprise. Read more about them in the ODCA Developing Cloud-Capable Applications White Paper.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Mercury automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of reliability when driving their Commuter around town. Your Mercury dealership isn't the only place to find trusted replacement parts for your Commuter. Obviously, you didn't buy your Commuter unless you understood you would be getting performance and American style both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
Your Mercury Commuter has a liquid-cooled engine, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your Mercury Commuter water pump continuously recirculates a mixture of water and coolant throughout hoses and passages in the engine block and cylinder head; keeping it operating at a manageable, pre-determined temperature. If it fails, then the coolant temperature will soar and your engine block or cylinder head will crack.
Bring your Commuter back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Mercury Commuter part for your needs.

A SHELTER for 170 stray and abandoned cats set up in an Ingle Farm house has been asked to find a more suitable home.
Nicky Hocking started the Help Save The Furry Ones shelter on Kelvin Rd in early 2011 to stop cats being put down.
Ms Hocking this month applied to Salisbury Council to change her home's land use from residential to "intensive animal keeping".
The panel deferred making a decision and asked Ms Hocking to bring back a fresh application to continue the shelter on a short-term basis while she looked for a new site.
Some neighbours had complained about the smell from the large number of cats, according to a council report.
Panel member Cr Brian Goodall told the News Review Messenger that running an animal shelter on such a large scale from home was not appropriate.
However, he said the panel had "some sympathy for the people running the shelter".
"If we refused the application it would have meant the shelter was in breach of planning rules and it would have forced council staff to start proceedings against the owner," Cr Goodall said.
"We told the applicant that there was no way we could be part of a decision to approve an animal shelter with that many animals in a residential area.
"We have asked the applicant to bring back an alternative application around short-term acceptance on the use of the site until they find somewhere else to go.
"The fact that there was also only one formal objection against the application, and that was around parking issues, means it appears the neighbours aren't particularly concerned.''
The centre has a "no kill" policy and keeps cats until a home is found for them. The centre's Facebook page has more than 6000 "likes".
Ms Hocking planned to lodge an amended development application but would not comment on the details.

By Danny
No doubt, the movie was fun, the turtles had turtle power, but everything else…was not for me.
Kids will probably love this film, but from an adult perspective…no.
Megan Fox was horrible, all I saw from her was Mikaela Banes from Transformers.
They cut the dancing part in the elevator out; they were beatboxing that's it.
Shredder was stupid, his voice wasn't as "badass or deep" like he is supposed to be, he sounded like a chicken. When he asked "where is the fourth turtle" a foot soldier says "dead" like the foot soldier didn't even prove it or anything and shredder was just like "ok".
Another complaint, they didn't follow the origin story at all, it had an original story. Master Splinter taught himself Ninjutsu…what? Where the heck is YOSHI?
Why did Oroku Saki have burn scars on his face?
The rat's whiskers were really creepy, but did an okay job at acting.
I had absolutely no problems with the turtles or Vernon (the camera guy) or Whoopi Goldberg.
I mainly blame the whole thing on the script/story writers but the comedy was on point, a lot of laughs.
The ending was really stupid, left BIG cliffhangers, on either if Eric Sachs or Shredder really die? No, they didn't but it didn't seem like an ending to a movie at all. I kinda wished Shredder and the turtles had another last fight, I felt like I could have been sitting there for another hour.
Also Donatello stopped the Mutagen from going into the air, it didn't even explain what he did he just pressed a bunch of buttons.
I like the relationship between the turtles and April, I enjoyed that bit.
It also felt a really slow in the beginning, I needed it to be more fast paced I almost passed out about 15 minutes in.
I thought Master Splinter using his tail and his Ninjutsu was badass.
The visuals and action were amazingly beautiful. But the problem is with this movie (in my opinion) was the story, acting chops of Megan Fox, and the horrible villain structure.
I was let down, the turtle van was only in the movie for like 3 minutes at the end of the film. Guessing it will be used in the sequel
I hope they don't use Casey Jones in the sequel, let alone mention him because they will ruin that character too.
The movie is definitely open for a sequel, but we'll see how it ends up at the box office.
People were clapping at the end of the movie, probably because they were happy it was over.
Anyway my final rating for this movie…it didn't work out for me at all. The turtles delivered the rest of the movie did not.
I'll probably still end up buying the Blu-ray because I only enjoyed the turtles, and they are the most important thing in the movie.
Rating: 5/10

There is nothing worse than being an odd child trying to mingle with the rest and act normal. Sadly, it is in our nature to reject those different and even bully them.
The following 17 children appear to be so unlucky you will probably double check the stories. Fill your heart with hope as you read about their struggle to overcome extremely rare diseases and birth defects.
1. Sam Berns
Sam Berns is one of the few unfortunate children affected by progeria.
Those poor souls experience premature aging and the almost certain death sentence before reaching adulthood. The mysterious condition might make you think of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and Sam's life was indeed one worthy of a Hollywood film.
Sam Berns became famous primarily because of his parents, both pediatricians, who made a pledge to fight the illness. They founded the Progeria Research Foundation and used their son's story for raising awareness.
Sam became a celeb once he had his documentary produced by HBO – "Life According to Sam." The odd kid also appeared in a TED video called "My philosophy for a happy life."
Unfortunate, Sam passed away in 2014. You will be shocked to know he was only 17 years old, yet looked like a little grandpa.
You must see what made the next odd girl famous!
2. Lakshmi Tatma
Lakshmi Tatma is one Indian girl whose birth in 2005 became instant headlines.
Bearing the name of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, the unlucky girl was born with four legs and four arms. No, she was not the result of a horrific genetic experiment gone wrong. Her misfortune lied in the fact that she inherited limbs and other body parts from a conjoined twin who died at birth.
Lakshmi received surgery when she was just two years old and now looks like a typical little girl. The marathon intervention lasted 27 hours and involved 30 of the best Indian surgeons.
Fate might have screwed Lakshmi, but it left her with one lifeline. She was born into a religion whose deities often have multiple sets of limbs. With some perceiving her as an incarnation, Lakshmi afforded the complicated and extensive surgery only because she became a national celeb by then.
Ready for another gruesome twist the human body can take?
3. Nguyen Xuan Minh
Nguyen Xuan Minh is one Vietnamese boy with a strange deformation of the cranium.
What could have caused the eerie cone-shaped head? Nguyen's is one of the thousands of children that were born with anomalies, and the reason might surprise you at first – The Vietnam War.
It was Agent Orange who did this. The strong chemical was used by the Americans to destroy crops and jungles as they tried to impose control in the countryside. The potent compounds inside Agent Orange leaked in the water and soil and contaminated all future harvests.
Because of its weird looks, 6-year-old Nguyen Xuan Minh became the symbol of the campaign that tries to point the finger at those responsible. Unfortunately for him and many other Vietnamese children, the chance of surgery and a healthy life are minimum. No one can afford the cost.
How would you react after meeting the next unfortunate kid face to face?
4. An Qi
The bullying you faced in school is nothing compared to what poor An Qi had to go through.
The unfortunate Chinese child was born with a rare condition that triggers abnormal hair growth on the right side of his face. And yes, the hair grows longer and needs constant maintenance.
Cases like the one of An Qi might help to explain why myths of werewolves survived to this day. Just imagine an entire body affected by the abnormal growth paired with the intense psychological strain.
You will be happy to know that the photos we have of An Qi date back to 2011. Most likely the boy's sad story impressed some generous hearts. Although it seems complicated, removing all that hair is routine intervention compared to what you've seen so far on the list.
The next kid spooked everyone with his rare condition. You must read his story!
5. Mohammad Kaleem
Would you dare to go to school with such huge hands? What about learning to write?
For 9-year-old Mohammad Kaleem, these were never questions to haunt the mind. That is because people in his small village of Eastern India treated the whole thing as a taboo.
Superstitions rank high in rural communities, and Mohammad's rare form of gigantism attracted far more than bullying from other kids. The unfortunate soul was labeled the "devil's child" and denied access to school.
However, Mohammad Kaleem can count himself lucky. His case became highly mediatized, and that attracted interest from the medical community.
Don't let yourself fooled by the promises of surgery! There is no procedure able to make Mohammad's hands resemble the ones of a boy his age. Doctors were only able to stop the growth and remove extra tissue, enough to allow him to perform simple tasks and improve the overall quality of his life.
Same disease but a different body part. Chek out the next poor soul!
6. Verdant Joshi
Verdant Joshi is another kid affected by gigantism, only this time it is his right foot that decided to grow to abnormal proportions.
Life is harsh when you can't be or act like the others. Although Verdant's condition doesn't prevent him from walking or running, children in his native western India village constantly tease him.
Verdant Joshi puzzled hundreds of doctors who failed to provide a solution other than amputation. Hope remains that continuing to raise awareness of Verdant's condition might eventually put him in the hands of excellent physicians.
The odd thing about the large foot is that the boy feels no pain or discomfort. The 6-year-old is also too young to fully comprehend that his life is not on the right trajectory. The only ones with sleepless nights are his family, who can't help but wonder how big it can get.
The next story is better than a Hollywood scenario. Check it out!
7. Kang Megru
As a parent, there is nothing scarier than to see your daughter's stomach take epic proportions.
However, Kang Mengru was way too young to be pregnant. Although that is the title many used to exploit the story, the medical explanation is simpler although equally daunting.
The Chinese toddler had the incredible misfortune of being born with a twin brother growing inside her. The rare medical condition is just one of the many gruesome twists Mother Nature likes to play with the human body from time to time.
You will be relieved to know that the case became famous enough to grant little Kang Mengru the needed funds to undergo surgery. She made a full recovery and the medics are confident she retained all body functions, including the possibility to have babies in the future.
What the next child can do with his body will shock you. He is not normal!
8. Jaspreet Singh Kalra
We warn you from the very beginning. Don't try this at home unless you already dialed the emergency service to pick you up once you're done.
What Jaspreet Singh Kalra is capable of doing is beyond the reach of most of us, and it would be a simplification to say his body is flexible. Let's break in the data that shows why he is called Rubber Man.
The 17-year-old Indian contortionist can rotate his head 180° and make other gruesome maneuvers that can get you to fill a bucket with puke in no time. It all started with him practicing Yoga at the age of 12.
The positions that make most people cry and curse their stiff joints proved to be a piece of cake for Jaspreet, as he moved on to test the flexibility of his body even further. Despite the fame and the records, few would consider exchanging their normal lives for a career of dislocated shoulders and hands rotate at 360°.
We all love small children and wish they would stay small forever. Someone granted such desire with incredible consequences.
9. Charlotte Garside
Charlotte Garside reigns as the unofficial tiniest girl in the world.
With only about 200 other children worldwide suffering from a condition known as primordial dwarfism, it is safe to call Charlotte unlucky. The estimated odds of bring born like her are 1 to 1 million.
What happens is the infant is born prematurely and fails to regain the lost ground. Compared to kids her age, 9-year-old Charlotte Garside looks like a doll, and can easily fit in a small backpack.
Although unlucky to appear in the world weighing just 1kg, Charlotte puzzled the medics that gave her less than a year to live. The tiny girl enrolled for school and benefited from the massive support she gets from colleagues.
Are you curious about this mysterious condition? You can join the ranks of scientist that still failed to produce a reasonable explanation. The condition is so rare they even neglected to assign a name to it.
When the face is the body part affected, there is no way to hide. The next story will make you feel sad!
10. Tessa Evans
You know what the worst part of not having a nose is? You can still get cold.
Those photos might look Photoshopped, but they are not. Tessa joined a handful of newborns that had an incredible misfortune. Someone forgot to add the nose in the basket and the tortured soul breaths through orifices opened in her neck (tracheostomy).
Are you not happy with the way look? Kiss that mirror and thank God (or Darwin) for being born with all the body parts in their correct position.
The good news is that cosmetic reconstruction is pretty advanced nowadays (thanks, Hollywood!). The 3-year-old would have to wait for growth spurts to finish the job before doctors can fit a nasal implant.
Unfortunately for Tessa, there is no breakthrough in offering her the sense of smell she was born without.
The next boy was lucky to survive. Villagers are so superstitious they tend to kill those that look odd.
11. Deepak Kumar Paswaan
Born with the legs and arms of his "parasitic twin" emerging from his chest, Deepak Kumar Paswaan is one Indian boy we are correct to call unlucky.
While most kids enjoy a trouble-free childhood, Deepak had to deal with the constant bullying and ridicule caused by him looking odd. Indeed, such an anomaly is rare and local medics were reluctant to proceed with the surgery. In fact, the somber prediction gave Deepak only a year to live.
Like many other cases presented throughout the list, the kid nicknamed "Octo-boy" benefited from the fame his case attracted. Take a second look at the photo above. That pic went viral in 2010 and helped Deepak's family raise the money needed for the intervention.
The next case shows just how far thing can go if left unattended.
12. Didier Montalvo
Didier Montalvo is one odd kid that would make any fan of the Ninja Turtles jealous.
His abnormal shell-like growth attracted the nickname "turtle boy" from the village children. That's not the worse part. Adults believe he is the son of the devil, sent to Earth to purge all those who are not righteous.
Modern surgery was the only one not impressed. Although rare, such cases occur and are dealt quite successfully. Didier underwent surgery in 2011 and lost 20% of his body weight. That's how much the mole grew since birth.
You would be happy to know Didier enjoys a regular life and doesn't have to carry the sinister burden everywhere he goes. Rural Colombia might not rank as the place with the highest quality of life, but things certainly get better once you become normal again.
"The Little Mermaid" got a modern reenactment, but this time with all the gruesome medical details included. Check it out!
13. Milagros Cerron
Not long ago mermaids were regarded as just a myth drunk sailors created to pass the time.
Everything changed once the case of Milagros Cerron brought in the eyes of the public a condition known as Sirenomelia. The Peruvian girl was born with her legs fused together, making her lower body look like a mermaid's tail.
Add one extra detail to make such a remote birth defect even more gruesome. Poor Milagros was born with crooked internal organs, showing once more that Nature sometimes makes awful mistakes at assembling the human body.
Although the surgery to separate the legs proved successful, Milagros will need extended reconstruction interventions to be able to live a normal life. Seeing her learn to walk brought tears to everyone's eyes.
Check out the next unlucky child and his story of battling the odds!
14. Misael Abreu
Misael Abreu has a solid excuse for his insatiable appetite.
The 7-year-old was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, a condition that hijacks normal body reactions and promotes a state of constant hunger. Weighing 76 kg, Misael is a walking time-bomb waiting to blow.
Most doctors that have seen the Brazilian boy agree that his heart is in an imminent risk of collapse. The organ is too young to deal with the stress of pumping blood throughout his massive body.
For those lacking a minimum historical perspective, Misael might just be the real-life person that inspired the Michelin Man. However, that resemblance is far from offering the poor boy a ticket for stardom and salvation.
At the moment the best his parents can do is keep the kitchen locked and carefully monitor Misael's intake of nutrients.
How hard it is for a child to deal with an incurable condition?
15. Pan Xianhang
Meeting 11-year-old Pan Xianhang at night might easily count as a third-degree contact.
For those unfamiliar with "Fish Boy," the child can make quite a powerful first impression. His entire skin is covered with scales, a condition which goes by the name of ichthyosis.
Unfortunate for Pan, modern medicine failed to conceive a cure, leaving the little boy in a desperate state. Besides the itch and the stigma, the skin's abnormal developments disturb the body's ability to sweat and control its temperature.
Last time we checked Pan Xianhang had a hard time fitting with the normal kids. We can only sit and watch as education fails to override the human instinct of rejecting those that are different.
The next photos are graphic. Caution is advised!
16. Roona Begum
Roona Begum is proof that miracles do exist.
Born with a condition known as hydrocephalus Roona's head kept on accumulating fluid until it swallowed four times the average size for her age. The 5-year-old defied the odds and made a full recovery after a surgery that was made possible due to crowd funding.
Do you want to hear a gruesome detail? Doctors extracted over 10 liters a fluid from the head, another testimony that nature screws it big time once in a while.
Despite the life-saving interventions and the reconstructive surgery that followed, Roona might never regain the ability to communicate with the outside world. Even so, she is displaying appropriate social skills and enjoys being in the company of her family.
Can you guess what is wrong with the next set of photos?
17. Bayezid Hossain
Something doesn't look right with the photos of Bayezid Hossain.
The 4-year-old seem to have experienced a wacky sort of time traveled that left him old and sad. Like Sam Bern, the kid you met at the beginning of our list, Bayezid suffers from progeria.
Unfortunately, there is nothing modern medicine can do to prevent his body from aging several times faster than normal. Given the rural community of southern Bangladesh, Bayezid has a hard time convincing other kids to spend time with him.
Bayezid would have spent time with the village elders, but his limited experience walking the Earth left him with few stories worth telling.

Gorgeous boutique hotel with true Italian charm! The courtyard was absolutely beautiful and perfect for some pre-dinner Aperol Spritz! The breakfast buffet was endless and truly delicious, especially considering we're in Italy where breakfast is mostly continental. Be prepared to gain some weight here :)!
The staff was amazing: upon arrival in Napoli Airport, it turned out Alitalia had lost my suitcase. I had to call the airport that same day to get an update, but of course the person on the phone didn't speak any English at all (Italians :) !). Luckily the hotel staff was super friendly, so they called the airport a couple of times a day, until they finally found my suitcase and delivered it at Luna Convento!
The rooms were gorgeous too (classic Italian style), there was a nice swimming pool across the street with sea view, and also the location was perfect: walking distance from the shops, beach, restaurants, bus stop etc.
Very thankful I had the chance to stay here, as it was just absolutely fabulous!

John Keihl DeLoach Cops a Plea to Hate Crime
A 20-year-old Huntington Beach guy who we previously told you was accused of terrorizing an African-American woman and her white male friend, cut a plea deal that will send him to state prison for four years.
John Keihl DeLoach Charged With Hate Crime in Verbal and Physical Attacks on Couple
John Keihl DeLoach pleaded guilty Friday to one felony count of hate crime battery causing injury and one felony count of hate crime assault causing injury, as the Orange County District Attorney Office statement lays it out after the jump . . .
October 25, 2010
WESTMINSTER - A Caucasian man was sentenced Friday to four years in state prison for committing a hate crime against an African-American woman and her Caucasian male friend by verbally and physically accosting the victims. John Keihl DeLoach, 20, Huntington Beach, pleaded guilty to a court offer Friday, Oct. 22. 2010, to one felony count of hate crime battery causing injury and one felony count of hate crime assault causing injury. He has a prior strike conviction for residential burglary in 2009.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 1, 2010, DeLoach drove by a Huntington Beach convenience store playing loud, racist music with explicit anti-black lyrics. When the defendant saw victim Briana W., an African-American woman, inside the store through the window, he pulled his vehicle near the store and turned up the volume of his music.
At approximately 9:40 p.m. that night, Briana W. was walking to a friend's apartment in Huntington Beach with a Caucasian male friend, Derrick S. The defendant, who happened to be in the same apartment complex visiting a friend, recognized the victim as the woman from the store earlier in the day and yelled after her. He yelled racial slurs and statrf that interracial relationships were wrong.
DeLoach and an unknown male accomplice ran up to Briana W. and continued to yell at her. Briana W. asked, "What, dude?" and the defendant yelled at Derrick S. to control his "b****." When Derrick S. stepped between Briana W. and the defendant, DeLoach punched Derrick S. in the face. Derrick S. fell to the ground and DeLoach kicked him twice in the back.
The defendant then fled the scene and Briana W. called 911. Derrick S. suffered a contusion on the side of his head as a result of the attack. The Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) investigated this case.
On Oct. 1, 2010, the defendant was charged by the Orange County District Attorney's Office and a warrant was issued for his arrest. That day, HBPD officers arrested the defendant at Overlook Park. When contacted by officers, DeLoach ran and resisted arrest.
Deputy District Attorney Israel Claustro of the Special Prosecutions Unit prosecuted this case.

The story of 'Once' came from my imagination.
From 1939 until 1945 the world was at war, and the leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler, tried to destroy the Jewish people in Europe. His followers, the Nazis, and those who supported them, murdered six million Jews including one and a half million children. They also killed a lot of other people, many of whom offered shelter to the Jews. We call this time of killing the Holocaust.
My grandfather was a Jew from Krakow in Poland. He left there long before that time, but his extended family didn't and most of them perished.
Ten years ago I read a book about Janusz Korczak, a Polish Jewish doctor and children's author who devoted his life to caring for young people. Over many years he helped run an orphanage for two hundred Jewish children. In 1942, when the Nazis murdered these orphans, Janusz Korczak was offered his freedom but chose to die with the children rather than abandon them.
Janusz Korczak became my hero. His story sowed a seed in my imagination.
On the way to writing Once I read many real life stories – diaries, letters, notes and memories of people who were young at the time of the Holocaust. Most of these young people died, but their stories survived. - Morris Gleitzman
Read the first 4 chapters: Then think about and discuss with a partner these questions, the questions relate to AF2 on the grid at the top, can you work out which skills you are covering?
1.Who is the narrator and how can you tell?
2. Pg 4 "sent the carrot up here…to surprise me" Why has Felix got the idea that his parents are coming to get him – why does he think the carrot is a sign? What do you think of his deduction?
3. Why would a Jewish boy be in a catholic orphanage? Who is/are the key character(s) so far in the book? Discuss how having only 1 main character can make a story stronger.
Independently read chapter 5 pg 38 – 48 - If you could
interview one of the characters so far what questions would
you ask? Write a list of 5 probing questions to find out more
about each character – make sure they relate to what you have
read so far.
Add your questions to this padlet wall
Which skill in AF3 do you think you have used in this activity?
Session 3
Pg 20 where it reveals the men are Nazi's – what
evidence is there that these men were not from Head
office or librarians as Felix thought but in fact Nazi's –
link back to the arm bands / behaviour etc
Bottom of Pg21 what might Felix have been thinking?
Bottom Pg23 why was leaving Dodie the books a good way
of saying goodbye?
Pg 24 look at Felix's letter – what style is it written in?
Formal language.
Pg 25 / 26 Why is Jankiel concerned about Felix running
away? What message is he trying to give Felix & what
might he "really regret"? - where in the text does it
imply what Jankiel is thinking & feeling?

Back in '88, we paid approx £2k for a 286 computer. When the 386 came out, it cost nearly £3k, although it didn't take long for prices to start dropping.
Now, I usually pay less than £300 for a new computer.

It was the last PC they ever bought (I have built every one since..)
They still use the Packard Bell keyboard with their current PC.

A good example of why a lot of people got out of retail around that time (including me).
At that price they were not making much profit, and to compete against them the option was to make $50 or less on the deal. Since retail compputer stores (us included) offered a minimum of two hours on-site service with each sale it was a loss before the order was placed.
Best Buy and others had a vastly different retail model - and still do.

Hi. I'm having this problem with my Juni SSG-140.
I'm unable to connect and view a web-camera on a remote site, not even from my computer (with my any2any well-working role).
Bypassing Juniper, from my computer, I have no trouble watching the web-cam.
Another thing, maybe worth mentioning, after getting the "connect fail !" (DVROcxEx), the ie background terns black (as if some pic's hiding there). My Juni-logs show
:2000 TCP PORT 2000 0 sec. 0 0 Creation
:80 HTTP 3 sec. 779 520 Close - TCP FIN
:80 HTTP 1 sec. 739 1537 Close - TCP FIN
:80 HTTP 0 sec. 0 0 Creation
:80 HTTP 0 sec. 0 0 Creation
Appreciate any thought for this mystery case.. thank you.

I guess I would need more information about your configuration. You are doing site to site VPN's over a tunnel? What policies do you have in place? Just a generic any-to-any on the trust zone? Or do you have them in the untrust zone?
How are you getting to the camera externally? Simply going to the WAN IP of your router and entering the camera port?
A cursory guess would be that you have a bad policy.
Mar 21, 2011 at 2:32 UTC
Thank you for your quick answer, Howard.
This specific policy-role goes from Trust to Untrust. From inside to the "world". Another policy in this interface, for example, is the any-to-any port80, for the internet. The "web-cam" role is also placed in the right order and for the test, I've tried connecting through myIP-to-any by any "service". I can connect to the camera bypassing Juniper, on a "simple" internet line, using the same iexplorer. My guess is the policy's ok. There's s/t somewhere else I'm missing, like some kind of filtering or s/t in the general security or..? I've also tried disabling Junipers' AV and web filtering..
pls forgive my poor English, hope I manage to explain myself. Good day, ka.
Mar 21, 2011 at 7:04 UTC
HKR Networks is an IT service provider.
As you know, it's very difficult to troubleshoot VPN tunnels without a configuration so all I can do is make some suggestions as to what you can try.
I don't believe it has anything to do with web filtering or anti-virus. Check to see if you have port 2000 blocked. If it is blocked, open it. Once opened, try to connect.
Let me know if that works.
Mar 21, 2011 at 7:06 UTC
HKR Networks is an IT service provider.
Also, try the following if what I described doesn't work.
Step 1 Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options". Click on the "Security" tab.
Step 2 Click on the globe marked "Internet". This will display a slider which, by default, is set to "Medium".
Step 3 Click on the "custom" button.
Step 4 Scroll down until you find the setting "Download unsigned ActiveX Controls" and enable this setting.
Step 5 Click OK as needed to save the setting. This step will allow you to download an unsignedActiveX control..
Mar 21, 2011 at 7:14 UTC
Thanx, but as I opened all services (ports), just to test the connection. and nothing.
Mar 21, 2011 at 7:21 UTC
Thanx HG, but that i did that to. from the same computer with the same browser, once I surf the net around Juniper, once I connect myself directly to the internet, I have no problem. so it's definitely Juni's fault.. :)
Mar 21, 2011 at 8:17 UTC
How is your policy written, I saw that you had a Trust to untrust rule, but what are your firewall settings for incoming Untrust-->trust? can you post the rules? Is this suposed to be on a mapped IP or the main serial IP address as well?
Mar 21, 2011 at 8:18 UTC
Have you considered multi-cast settings as well?
Mar 21, 2011 at 9:20 UTC
Multicast is nice, but I need it from one camera to one pc, so..
About the other way around, from Untrust-to-Trust, well, could you pls be more specific? Should I create a role that directs HTTP & port2000 inside?! It doesn't look so..
Below are 2 roles. From Trust-to-Untrust. No.2 permits the internal n/w to surf. The other serves my pc.
ID | Source | Destination | Service
17 | karina7 | Any | Any
2 | Internal_Network | Any | Surf_Services
Mar 21, 2011 at 9:29 UTC
Oh and the IP is not maped (it's only a "web-cam" fcol), but I did try the NAT option.
Mar 21, 2011 at 10:16 UTC
HKR Networks is an IT service provider.
If these are all of the rules that you have on your SSG, then that's the problem. As Alex mentioned, you should have a rule from the Untrust to zone your camera is in.
Mar 21, 2011 at 12:50 UTC
You need an Untrust to Trust rule specifying the protocol, port, and internal IP address of the camera. Further if the Camera uses multicast you would need to enable that in order for the remote camera viewing to work. My guess, however, is your firewall rules are not set up properly.

Google to Sell Performics
Google's acquisition of DoubleClick has resulted in the need to sell the Search Engine Marketing side of DoubleClick known as Performics.
Performics offers SEO and SEM services – which would be a great conflict of interest for Google as the SEO/SEM industry focus on increasing dominance in search engines, specifically Google.
Historically Google has gone on a shopping spree when they make their first acquisition for the year. People are saying they may be in the talks of acquiring Skype off eBay for SE integration.
It is also said that Google want to buy Expedia, which would allow them to offer travel services via search results.

I had a great stay in the Kahala hotel, you are welcome with a necklace when you join and a free drinks, I was in the inside Lagoon with access to the Dolphin, the room were nice but pretty basic, sleep quality was good though.
Breakfast buffet was amazing, plenty of fruits with view on the beach, I really felt I was in heaven.
The spa is very poor, and the massage were for me very bad, my back felt worse after than before.
The hotel is away from the main beach but has it's own small beach.

ESPN released an All-London team honouring the best players of the men's basketball tournament in a similar style to the NBA's All-NBA teams.
There are a few obvious inclusions from the newest version of the Dream Team, but the teams also feature a few international surprises breaking into the list.
Lebron James and Kevin Durant were both obvious selections into the ESPN All-London first team as the US cruised to gold on their backs. James averaged 13 points, five rebounds and five assists through eight games, collected the first Olympic triple double in history and was generally considered the unquestioned MVP of the tournament.
Durant averaged 19 points and five rebounds and had a 30 and nine game in the gold medal game against Spain.
Manu Ginobili also received recognition in what were his last Olympics. While posting almost identical stats to Durant (19.4 ppg and 5.4 rpg), Ginobili was required to carry an Argentinian team without much depth for large stretches.
Pau Gasol was an obvious inclusion. He was probably the only consistent Spaniard throughout the competition and was marvellous in keeping his country in the game during the second half of the gold medal final.
Andrei Kirilenko, returning to the NBA this season after a stint in Europe, looked 10 years younger while scoring 17.5, 7.5 rebounds to with an assist, a steal and a block per contest.
Carmelo Anthony headlines the All-London second team and it's a no brainer considering the historical game he produced in the US's romp over Nigeria. Anthony exploded in that game shooting 10 of 12 on 3-point attempts for 37 points in just 14 minutes of action.
Most NBA fans will know Luis Scola so it's no surprise he's on the list. Averaged 18 points per for the fourth placed Argentinians.
Patty Mills, who played last season with the San Antonio Spurs, led the tournament with the highest points per game average (21.2)- ahead of the likes of Kevin Durant and Pau Gasol. The lightening quick Aussie point also registered a 39-point game against hosts Great Britain.
Long Australian small forward Joe Ingles also produced an excellent tournament averaging 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. He played for FC Barcelona last season, but don't be surprised to see the 24-year-old eventually get a sniff at the NBA.
Marcelinho Huertas rounds out the squad with averages of 11 points and six assists per game a disappointing Brazilian squad.
