what pro bettors think about before betting college basketball games
Home Court is an obvious advantage:
While the crowd is definitely a factor, there are some other reasons why you should consider backing the home team. Opponents who are jump-shooting teams have trouble winning on the road because they aren't used to the host's rims or shooting background. Looking at the number of times a team gets fouled can tell you about a team's emphasis on inside vs. jump-shooting offense.
Tempo dictates play:
Some teams struggle with particular defenses due to the type of offense they play. For example, a team's 3-point shooting can suffer against strong perimeter defenses and thrive against poor ones. Some conferences also do not see particular defenses on a regular basis. This factor can become even more important in the NCAA Tournament against non-conference foes. In 1996, the Syracuse Orange beat four Big 12 teams en route to the national championship by playing a 2-3 zone defense none of the teams had seen much during the regular season.
Adjustments are made in conference rivalry games:
The second game between two conference teams is about adjustments – some coaches do it much better than others. Another good angle is to take a road favorite in the second meeting if they were a big favorite of 8 or more and won a close game in the first meeting but did not cover. Chances are that in that first meeting the team may have looked past their opponent since they were a big favorite and thus had a flat game. In the rematch, you pick up great line value as Vegas over-compensates for the narrow loss in the first meeting. So you get the road team at a shorter price and they will be totally focused because they almost got beat at home by this team. This is a great situational play.
Overlooking an opponent can result in a win but no cover:
Rivalries are huge in college basketball. In fact, there's a whole week dedicated to them on ESPN. What you need to be leery of are the games before and after that big game because some teams can get caught looking ahead. The same can be said about "sandwich" games where a favorite is coming off a big win and has another big game approaching with a weaker opponent in between. A lack of motivation can result in a tougher game than expected against an underdog that ultimately covers.
Free-throw shooting matters:
In the NBA, you've probably heard about the hack-a-Shaq approach of fouling Shaquille O'Neal late in the game because he is a poor free-throw shooter. In college basketball, some teams as a whole are very poor shooters from the free-throw line and will falter down the stretch if they are forced to make free throws. The numbers 6 through 8 are very key under this scenario – teams down by 6 will foul late, needing only two possessions – down by 7 they are less likely to foul needing 3 possessions. Lay -6 and know the underdog will be fouling if the favorite is winning but not covering. Take +8 and you're much less likely to lose due to late fouls.
Rebounding can be the difference:
One of the most important stats to examine is rebounding margin to find out how out-rebounding an opponent correlates to bottom-line results. For example, Texas was 12-0 when out-rebounding opponents and faced Texas Tech as a 2.5-point road underdog on January 31st, 2007. The Longhorns had a significant advantage inside in this matchup and ended up out-rebounding the Red Raiders 43-38, translating to a 76-64 victory.
Road warriors are the best teams:
Most good teams play few difficult road games out of conference, so their first game or two in conference on the road can be very difficult. The true test of a great team is whether or not they can win consistently away from home and beat that advantage for the host. This is even more critical when NCAA Tournament time rolls around because all of the games are played at a neutral site. Teams that can adjust well to different atmospheres and travel well are the most battle-tested for the biggest games. Altitude can also play a factor since some teams without much depth can get fatigued in their next game following a game played at a high elevation. The lesson learned here is to thoroughly study the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and bet accordingly!

Each job or internship you apply for is different from the last… different job, unique requirements, another company. So, it remains very important to customize every cover letter as you apply!
The hiring manager wants to know you're not just sending out a generic letter to all employers; in fact, if they sense a "form letter" hiring managers will often immediately delete the application. And your customized cover letter demonstrates that you genuinely care and are interested in the position… not just any position.
Here are three steps to customize your cover letter as you apply:
A "What's in It for Me" Introduction
The best cover letters start with benefit-laden sentences, including the position you're seeking, that clearly tells the recruiter what is in it for them – why they should keep reading. This tells the employer which position you're interested in and why you're the best fit for the opening. It also entices them to read your resume so they can find out more about just how great you really are.
Starting with benefit-laden sentences is also so much more captivating than starting with the standard please accept my resume in response to X position advertised in XYZ.com.
Marketing in the Middle
The middle of your cover letter is your time to shine. Market your talents, successes, and achievements in brief statements or bullets, and make sure you choose statements that demonstrate how you would be a valuable asset to their organization.
This is the place to demonstrate FIT. Be relevant! Focus on your experience, education, and achievements as they relate to the position you're applying to. Employers want to see the connection between your experience and their needs. This is the best place to substantiate your credentials and fit for the position.
Close With a Call to Action
Always close your cover letter with a call to action; do not just end it by saying thanks for your time!
The best cover letters don't just thank the reader for his or her time; they also state how you will follow up with them about the opportunity or how they can best reach you—or both! I've read cover letters that end with something to this effect: Thank you for your time and interest. I will follow up with you in one week via telephone to confirm receipt of my resume and cover letter and to discuss further how my prior success at XYZ can be a valuable asset to ABC Company.
Creating a customized cover letter doesn't have to be a daunting task; just focus on the three steps above… and show a little personality!

In its September 14, 2010 Akzo v. Commission1 judgment, the EU's highest court, the European Court of Justice ("ECJ"), has ruled—yet again—that internal communications with in-house counsel are not covered by legal professional privilege ("LPP"), even when in-house counsel are members of the bar of an EU Member State. The judgment upholds the General Court's ("GC") September 17, 2007 ruling in the same case2 and the position originally taken in the ECJ's AM&S v. Commission3 1982 case law.
The Appellants, supported by several Member States ("MS") and bar organizations, invited the ECJ to rule that changed circumstances since 1982—in particular the adoption by some MS of bar rules specifically confirming LPP to in-house counsel who are members of the national bar, and the move towards a system of competition law self-assessment brought on by Regulation 1/2003—warranted a change in the AMS rule. The ECJ declined the invitation, on the ground that the trend towards granting LPP to in-house counsel at national level was not sufficiently "predominant". The judgment thus leaves open the possibility of change at EU level if there is enough change at the MS level.
The dispute dates back to a 2003 cartel investigation where Akzo Nobel and Akcros Chemicals (together referred to as "Akzo") challenged the right of the European Commission ("Commission") to seize two sets of documents. The documents included internal memos and manuscripts regarding Akzo's antitrust compliance program, and two e-mails between the General Manager and the in-house counsel, who was admitted to the Dutch bar.
While the GC's judgment ruled on several issues, the only issue before ECJ was whether the fact that the in-house counsel, although a member of the Dutch bar and entitled to LPP under Dutch law, was an employee of Akzo, was sufficient to render LPP inapplicable in an EU competition law proceeding.
Akzo and the various interveners raised a number of arguments, all of which the ECJ, following the Opinion of Advocate General Kokott4, rejected.
1. No breach of AM&S rule or principle of equality: lawyers must be fully independent to be eligible for LPP
The first argument on Akzo's appeal was that the GC "misinterpreted" AM&S' requirement that to qualify for LPP, a communication must emanate from an "independent lawyer." Akzo claimed that its in-house counsel should be considered "independent" because he was a member of the Dutch bar and was subject to the same deontological rules and discipline as an external lawyer. The ECJ countered that in-house counsel have a stronger economic dependence on an employer, and a closer personal identification with the company and its corporate strategy, so they have less independence than an external lawyer. Likewise, in-house counsel are in a fundamentally different position than external counsel, so treating them differently does not breach the principle of equality.
2. No "predominant trend" in EU MS' protection of LPP or relevant change of EU competition law to justify departure from well established AM&S case law
As in AM&S, the ECJ conceded that the definition of LPP in EU antitrust procedures must take into account the principles and concepts common to the laws of the MS. It recognized that protection of company communications with in-house counsel is now more common than when the AM&S judgment was handed down. Nevertheless, the ECJ did not find a "predominant trend" towards such protection in the legal systems of the 27 MS and concluded that the situation had not evolved to an extent that would justify a change in case law.
In addition, the ECJ held that the changes in procedural rules made by Regulation 1/2003, in particular regarding the self-assessment of the rule of reason principle in Article 101(3), and the reinforced powers of inspection, do not affect the scope of the LPP for in-house counsel.
3. Denial of LPP does not violate right of defense or principle of legal certainty
The ECJ replied to Akzo's invocation of the right of defense that the right to obtain legal advice may be subject to certain restrictions and conditions when in-house counsel are involved (as is the case in many MS), and that this includes restrictions and conditions on LPP.
Akzo claimed that the different treatment of LPP by the EU and some MS gives rise to a breach of the principle of legal certainty. The ECJ responded that the principle of legal certainty does not require that identical criteria be applied to LPP in national and EU inspection procedures and that the undertakings can determine with sufficient certitude their legal rights in light of the powers of each authority concerning the seizure of documents.
4. No breach of the principles of national procedural autonomy and conferred powers
The ECJ held that the principle of MS' autonomy to determine their own procedures does not affect EU rules concerning EU procedures. It also rejected an argument that an EU rule defining the scope of LPP in an EU proceeding exceeded the scope of the powers conferred on the EU institutions by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU").
In sum, the ECJ reaffirmed the position taken in AM&S on the ineligibility of in-house counsel for LLP. It did so using language that contrasts the position of in-house counsel with that of outside counsel in terms which are at odds with much corporate practice and which are likely to provoke justifiable criticism. Nevertheless, the ECJ left open the door for future changes to this approach towards in-house counsels' communications, when and if a "predominant trend towards protection under legal professional privilege of communication within a company or group with in-house lawyers [is] discerned in the legal systems of the 27 MS of the European Union." (§ 74).
Due to the limited scope of the appeal, some other important questions concerning the scope of LPP in EU competition law proceedings were not addressed.
The GC's judgment ruled that LPP protects preparatory documents "drawn up exclusively with the purpose of seeking legal advice from a lawyer in the exercise of the rights of defence." This formulation is somewhat imprecise, and may require further litigation to clarify.
An additional important question is whether communication with outside counsel who, although members of a third country bar, are not members of a bar or law society in an EU MS, is protected by LPP. The Courts did not rule on this point as this was not in question in this case, but it remains a key question given the array of worldwide investigations and consequent need for global antitrust legal advice.
Finally, taking into account the case law to date, we list below a number of practical suggestions to maximize the chance of success in claiming LPP in the event of a request for information or an on-the-spot investigation within the EU:
- Clearly label all internal notes and memoranda for which there is a reasonable basis for arguing that they are in preparation for seeking outside legal advice. Using a stamp displaying "prepared for the purpose of seeking the advice of competition law counsel" could be one way of labeling these documents.
- Involve outside counsel in any analysis of possible infringement of EU competition law, and ensure that the file contains a written record of the advice sought and/or given. Communications to outside counsel should be appropriately labeled to assert LPP.
- If possible, keep all materials for which LPP may be claimed in separate files.
- When an investigation occurs, insist on the Akzo GC procedure being applied to the letter. The facts of this case are a good example of a tendency by investigators to seek short-cuts which may not respect the rights of the company under investigation.
- Where outside counsel is not a member of an EU bar, it is advisable that the advice be co-signed by a lawyer who is a member of an EU bar.

CD79 (also designated Ig α/Ig β) is a heterodimer composed of α chains, designated CD79A or MB-1, and β chains, designated CD79B or B29. The B cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) is formed by the association of CD79 with a membrane immunoglobulin, such as IgM or IgD. The membrane immunoglobulins IgM and IgD achieve surface expression and antigen presentation function in response to CD79 association. The cytoplasmic tails of both CD79A and CD79B contain an ITAM (immuno-receptor tyrosine-based activation) motif, which acts to initiate the BCR signaling reactions by binding to and activating tyrosine kinases.

Human trafficking is happening in Tobago with Venezuelan women being brought in to have sex with men across the island. So revealed Allana Wheeler, Director of the Counter Trafficking unit in the Ministry of National Security, who said the human trafficking was being facilitated by a combination of a lack of security controls for the island and a turbulent economic situation in Venezuela.
There is no checking for vehicles, there is no checking for identification, there is no checking for anything. Even at the airports, there is no major kind of security taking place. So, you can have victims of human trafficking…they will come and service clients that are here in Tobago and they will take them back by boat or plane to Trinidad. Once you have illegal guns, once you have a history of drugs, drug traffickers have graduated to trafficking persons.
It is more profitable, it is less discoverable. Wheeler, holder of a Master's degree in National Security Studies, and who has worked in the field of National Security for the last 20 years, also said many foreigners and children fall victim to human trafficking through popular social media sites.
He was a homosexual boy who was looking for a job, and he joined an online social group. He wanted to get out of the island that he was in and he was offered a job in that social group which landed him in Trinidad. She said the young man was also forced to provide sexual services to many friends of the business owners. In Trinidad and Tobago , there was a time when the government did not admit that there was human trafficking.
There was a time that the politicians did not admit. Now I could say that the period was The government realised that it was happening, there was statistics being collected. So, there was a pattern developing about 10 years ago that was discovered, so the government developed policies and policy lead to legislation. Before that, if you caught prostitutes in a brothel, immediately they would be deported, they would be deemed illegal and they will be charged and brought before the courts.

NOTE: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 3 Episode 5 & 6 of FX's The Americans, titled "Salang Pass" and "Born Again."
Oh, so much is happening, I can barely keep up.
Paige: It's hard to talk about Paige without talking about Elizabeth. Mothers are mothers, and Elizabeth loves her daughter. But not the way everyone else loves their kids. During the baptism 'celebration,' I watched the Jennings look uncomfortable at first. But was it just me or did that smile and urge to clap afterwards seem kind of spontaneous and sincere? When she catches Elizabeth smoking, they finally have a moment. Elizabeth sort of half-asses telling Paige she's going to the KGB for college. But I guess it's a start.
Philip: He's having trouble with all his ladies. Paige is annoyed that he doesn't think going to church is being true to herself. The teenager would rather get naked than listen to Pink Floyd. And she's getting nosy. I love that he's able to use Paige's religion to fend her off. And smoke her joints with Elizabeth. At least those two are sort of getting along now. And Irina's going to bubble back up with her son. Will he ever spill to Elizabeth?
Stan: Poor Stan. He's holding onto Nina, not his wife, right, in that scene with the EST lady? Meanwhile, Nina is doing her best to complete her mission. His friends are dying in the field, and he runs to Sandra. Maybe it's time for him to go back undercover again. The only time he gets to see Sandra and his son is when he's going off the rails.
How great are the characters getting this season? Are you enjoying the season so far? Tweet me @karenfratti.
The Americans airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

Many of us feel guilt and other negative feelings because we do not exercise enough. Increasing the amount of exercise is a major lifestyle change, and it can feel like a constant battle against ourselves and the circumstances. A frustrating internal battle makes exercise even less tempting. This is not how it should be!
This spring, the Finnish Student Sports Federation (OLL) has joined Zone sports services in the capital region in piloting a new kind of exercise advice service which focuses on values and acceptance. In this model, students are offered exercises which help them increase the amount of sports they do through a compassionate and accepting way of thinking which is based on the person's own values. In a best-case scenario, this will lead to a situation where the feelings and thoughts which prevent a person from exercising (such as the harmful thought that it is only worth exercising if we do it hard enough and for long enough) are highlighted and processed with a professional so that they no longer affect the person's behaviour.
The three and a half month guidance period provided a great deal of information on how suitable this approach is for the higher education context. The reception by our clients was very positive: 92 per cent of them felt that the contents of the service matched their expectations fairly or very well.
In 2019, OLL will continue to develop this model, and we would welcome the input of anyone interested in improving university sports. We would be happy to provide more information on the pilot's results, insights and the upcoming development work – do not hesitate to get in touch!

Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) founding members with HFSC spokesperson and home improvement expert Ron Hazelton after a fire sprinkler demo at the NFPA Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. (Left to right) Ron Hazelton; HFSC Communications Manager Peg Paul; Frank Mortl, AFSA; Steve Muncy, AFSA; Gary Keith, FM Global; HFSC President Lorraine Carli, NFPA; and Vickie Pritchett, NFSA.
Twenty years ago, there was trouble at home. The place where Americans spent the most time was where fire was also killing the most people. This grim reality didn't sit well with NFPA or other organizations in the business of life safety. Everyone seemed to understand the importance of smoke alarms and home escape planning, but there was another component of life safety that wasn't getting enough attention.
A unique collaboration with NFPA, the National Fire Sprinkler Association, and the American Fire Sprinkler Association brought to light the solution to safer homes. In 1996, the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) was formed and has since illuminated home fire sprinklers as a necessary component in all new homes.
Other partnering organizations and companies have since joined (HFSC), creating an educational endeavor that has taught countless residents throughout North America how fire sprinklers combat the realities of home fires. "From day one, all of the founding members put aside any political and philosophical differences to focus on the task of developing the best home fire sprinkler educational material we could," says Gary Keith, FM Global's vice president of Engineering Standards, who during his tenure at NFPA was HFSC's President. "We knew we were ahead of where the model codes were on home fire sprinklers at that point in time, but that only made us more determined to sharpen our educational message and build support across all interest groups."

Former soldier is proud as punch'

AN MP joined Normandy veterans to unveil a children's centre.
David Evennett, MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford, was one of the special guests at the opening of Normandy Children's Centre last Friday in Fairford Avenue, Barnehurst, on a site next to Normandy Primary School.
He was joined by members of Normandy Veterans Association, Branch 23.
The event coincided with the school's celebration of the 65th anniversary of D-Day, which included a live band, a petting zoo, face painting and a reception.
Paul Harrison, 88, of Station Road, Sidcup was given the unveiling duties and said: "It's an honour, I feel proud as punch."
Paul's salute to
fallen comrades
A NORMANDY veteran who could not attend the 65th commemoration of the D-Day landings wept for the memory of fallen soldiers.
Paul Harrison, 88, of Mantague Court, Sidcup, wept in the privacy of his flat as Rule Britannia was sung at the commemoration in Arromanches last Saturday.
It marked 65 years since the allies landed in Normandy, an offensive on June 6, 1944 to eventually end World War Two in Europe.
Mr Harrison landed at Sword Beach on D-Day plus one, attached to D-Platoon, 26 Company of the Royal Army Service Corps.
Unable to travel to Normandy due to poor health he said: "I watched every minute of the television coverage. I sat by myself and when Rule Britannia came on the tears started flowing and I didn't want to stop them. A lot of young men died on the beaches, it was the start of a long campaign and I just thought about those who never came back."
In 1944, deploying from the American ship Liberty down a Jacob's ladder thrown down the side of the ship, he jumped onto rafts loaded with lorries.
He was responsible for driving a supply lorry up the beach, vital to support the front line assault.
Last Saturday he watched with pride as the chairman of Normandy Veterans Association South East Branch (23), George Batts, spoke at a Commemorative service to honour those who died.
It marked a weekend of remembrance attended by US President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Prince Charles and French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

- Use subprocess.Popen and ourselves to the wait()ing,
since subprocess.call() is buggy. There's still an EINTR bug
in subprocess, though.
- Occasionally stop couchdb in tests, so we exercise the automatic

aforementioned subprocess bug, but it's the right thing to do.

- Fix a race condition in the process-testing code.
- Replace the TestCase module with one that doesn't complain of dirty

the viewresults to only get back the records with that type,

- Remove the unused/invalid "utils" import from test_server
- Change the name of a function tested to be what actually exists in
the code.
- Refactored server.py by renaming server.

A 'Fountain Of Youth' Pill? Sure, If You're A Mouse.
Kaiser Health News
Renowned Harvard University geneticist David Sinclair recently made a startling assertion: Scientific data shows he has knocked more than two decades off his biological age.
What's the 49-year-old's secret? He says his daily regimen includes ingesting a molecule his own research found improved the health and lengthened the life span of mice. Sinclair now boasts online that he has the lung capacity, cholesterol and blood pressure of a "young adult" and the "heart rate of an athlete."
Despite his enthusiasm, published scientific research has not yet demonstrated the molecule works in humans as it does in mice. Sinclair, however, has a considerable financial stake in his claims being proven correct, and has lent his scientific prowess to commercializing possible life extension products such as molecules known as "NAD boosters."

Super-teams might be destroying the NBA post-season, but they're definitely making the NBA offseason fun. Chris Paul joining James Harden in Houston was just the latest example of mega-stars teaming up in an effort to both challenge the Golden State Warriors and bludgeon to death any remaining parity in the association.
Rumors are that the Rockets aren't done, either, rumored to be making a complicated, salary-cap-confounding move for Paul George.
With the Timberwolves adding Jimmy Butler to a young, talented core, and now shipping off Ricky Rubio to clear space for (they hope) Kyle Lowry, the super-teams trend clearly isn't going anywhere. So many stars in this league have yet to taste any real playoff success, and they know their taste buds will continue to go wanting unless they join forces.
Here's how I see the rest of the NBA offseason playing out from a super-teams vantage point.
The Rockets already have a head-start, adding Chris Paul to their formidable offense. They're on the hunt though, trapped by the arms race that is the Western Conference into chasing the biggest names available, which right now means Paul George or Carmelo Anthony. Getting George will be tough; the cupboard's bare of tradable assets after the Paul deal and the salary cap has been stretched to within an inch of its life. Anthony would be a slightly easier acquisition; the Knicks aren't in a great position to negotiate right now and might take a sub-optimal deal just to move on from the Phil Jackson era, but still: tough.
Carmelo is in a tricky position in his own right: the Knicks are looking to move on and Anthony's not likely to see another contract like the one the Knicks extended him three years ago. Taking a buyout would mean getting less money than what he's owed by the Knicks, but would entitle the ten-time NBA All-Star to play wherever he wanted, and to chase titles with one of the established contenders.
The Paul trade was already this offseason's blockbuster transaction, one that arguably makes the Rockets a certifiable superteam.
The 2017 NBA Finals showed that, for all of their greatness, the Cleveland Cavaliers are a few pieces short of toppling the Golden State Warriors. In their last year with LeBron James on contract, they've been plenty aggressive in the offseason, reportedly trying to organise a monster five-team trade that would bring them Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. If Anthony takes a buyout and decides to go ring-chasing, the Cavaliers are the most eligible bachelor.
Blake Griffin opted out of his contract with the Clippers for a reason, and it could be that he wants to chase titles, as well. In that case he'd be a decided upgrade over Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson in Cleveland.
If Griffin would be welcomed with open arms in Cleveland, he may just be given his own parade in Boston. Isaiah Thomas is looking for someone to help him topple the Cleveland Cavaliers and, hopefully, the Golden State Warriors. The pitch, to Paul George and others, is the same pitch that has kept LeBron James in the East for his entire career: it's decidedly easier to make the Finals from the East than the murderers' row that is the West.
Boston is competing with the Lakers to get Paul George from Indiana, and while the Celtics have more in the way of draft picks and assets to trade, the Lakers have player preference. It might not be worth it for the Celtics to send a big trade package to Indiana for one year of potentially uninspired play from a dissatisfied veteran.
The Celtics also met with Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward as part of his free-agency tour. Fun fact you'll hear every eight minutes until Gordon Hayward signs a contract: Brad Stevens coached him at Butler. The Celtics will aim to convert that personal relationship into a professional one. The scuttlebutt was that the Celtics wanted to sign both George and Griffin, and that the relevant timelines might not line up properly and they could end up with neither.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have already pulled off the best trade/heist of the 2017 offseason, grabbing Jimmy Butler from the Chicago Bulls for Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn, and a swap of first round-picks in this year's draft. The combination of Butler, Andrew Wiggins, and Karl-Anthony Towns is already formidable, but the Wolves aren't done yet.
They can't be, since they no longer have a point guard on the roster after dealing Ricky Rubio to the Jazz for a first-round pick. That move cleared the path for Minny to go after Kyle Lowry, whom Butler has already been in contact with.
If Lowry really wants to compete for a title, he could come to Minnesota on a team-friendly deal and leave the franchise room to go after Andre Iguodala. The Warriors are going to have a tough time finding enough money in the universe to pay the luxury tax on Iguodala's contract, and the Golden State veteran will be understandably picky in his free agency. It would be interesting, to say the least, to see Iguodala walk away from the team that holds his Bird rights and saw him win two titles for, say, the Brooklyn Nets. Playing as a mentor for some great young players with genuine playoff prospects makes a lot more sense. Adding him to a roster that also features Butler, Lowry, Towns, and Wiggins puts us into bona fide super-team territory.
The LeBron-James-to-LA rumours have been circulating for about as long as I can remember, but with his stated goal of bringing a championship to Cleveland completed, free agency looming in 2018, and the Lakers leaving room on their pay sheet for … something, they're circulating faster than ever.
The Lakers are also looking to sign Paul George in free agency in 2018. George has made it very clear that he will not re-sign with the Pacers and wants to be a Laker, ultimatley, either via trade in the 2017 offseason or free agency in 2018. This erodes his trade value for the Pacers, they don't really have a way to walk away from a deal, they have no pretension for keeping George long-term, and if they want to get any kind of value for him they'll have to make a trade.

When you've been injured in a car accident, it can be difficult to decide the best course of action to take. Should you hire a personal injury lawyer? Should you try dealing with the insurance company and settle the claim yourself? Should you do anything?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer early in the process following an accident can help in a number of ways. From limiting headaches of the court system, to earning you the best possible settlement, here are just a few of the ways a personal injury lawyer can help you.
Assessing Your Claim
The initial benefit of hiring a personal injury lawyer is that you will receive informed direction about how to move forward. Your personal injury lawyer will be able to look at your case and tell you whether or not it's worth pursuing at all, and will provide clear steps for moving forward in either direction.
Pre-Court Settlements
Many people think that hiring a personal injury lawyer will mean they have to go to court, and that's simply not the case. Over 95 percent of pending lawsuits end in a pre-trial settlement. This means that you (the plaintiff) will give up the right to sue in exchange for a payment from the defendant or an insurance company. Over 90 percent of cases that go to trial end in victory for the individual who brought the suit, implying that pre-trial settlements may be in the best interest of defendants who lack strong evidence to defend themselves against the charges that they face. An experienced lawyer will help you negotiate the best possible settlement in the shortest amount of time so you can avoid the frustration and fees of a trial. A seasoned car accident lawyer will also know the typical size and monetary limits of car accident settlements and will provide you with good insight as to whether you should settle or move forward.
Dealing with Insurance Companies & Health Care Providers
Plaintiff's without a lawyer receive two-thirds lower settlements on average. This is because insurance companies often use similar tactics in order to avoid paying large settlements. Hiring a trusted personal injury lawyer will ensure you have an advocate that understands insurance companies' tactics and can help you avoid falling victim to them. In addition to dealing with insurance companies, experienced lawyers can deal with healthcare providers to obtain any missing medical records that may support your case.
Organizing Evidence, Medical Records & Bills
You may know that you've been injured and that you are not at fault, but this doesn't mean it's easy to prove your case in court. Your personal injury lawyer will have in-depth knowledge of the local, state, and federal laws and will know what evidence is necessary to obtain in order to prove your case. They will also know how to present this evidence to the court and file the proper paperwork to ensure that the evidence is accepted. Once evidence is gathered, your personal injury lawyer will also be able to organize the specific records and bills that will prove your damages and suffering and maximize the value of your settlement or compensation.
Dealing with Defending Attorneys
An experienced car accident lawyer will know how to present your case to the court and will likely have experience working with the defendant's attorney. This experience is critical before and during the trial, specifically during the fact-finding process when documents are exchanged. Dealing with the defendant's attorney without a lawyer can leave you vulnerable to not receiving all the information you are admitted to have. Going to court with a highly respected lawyer who has worked with the defendant's lawyer will also result in a smoother trial with less surprises. You should always choose a personal injury lawyer who is highly respected in their community and will work well with other lawyers.
No Fees Unless You Win
Trust is a necessity in a lawyer-client relationship, and many trusted and experienced personal injury attorneys won't collect any fees until your case is won. This is called a contingency agreement. Finding a lawyer that operates on this policy is highly favorable and should be considered a necessity when choosing your personal injury lawyer.
Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer Before Your Accident
Keep in mind that it's important to choose the right personal injury lawyer for you prior to experiencing a car accident. This will avoid additional frustration and the possibility of ending up with a lawyer who puts their interests in front of yours. If you've already been injured in an accident and don't know what to do, we recommend that you find a trusted personal injury attorney and call them immediately. This will supply you with the professional advice and guidance you need through filing your claim, negotiating a settlement, and if necessary, taking your case to court. More importantly, they will ensure that you are represented fairly and that your best possible outcome is delivered.

My application runs a series of 7 kernels, and most of the time is taken by the 7th kernel.
This kernel has 50% occupancy.
Card is RX 470, 4GB.
For this 7th kernel, there are two settings: the first gives my a total of 100 wavefronts,
while the second gives me a total of only 30 wavefronts.
Timing for the second setting is about 3X slower than for the first. VALU utilization is about the same
for both.
I am guessing that the time is slower for the second because 30 wavefronts is not enough to
hide memory latency. Is there a way of calculating the optimal number of total wavefronts for a kernel,
given the occupancy and the number of CUs ?

Hi, this is AJ. Welcome to the point of view stories for "Taoism." Same story, but this time we start with "Since last year…"
* * * * *
Since last year Tomoe has wanted to fight a gorilla. She has wanted to fight a gorilla starting last year until recently. Tomoe has wanted to fight a gorilla since last year. In fact, every day since last year she has contemplated her goal. Starting last year, she started to contemplate and then every day she has contemplated her goal every day since last year.
What has she contemplated?
She has contemplated her goal, her goal of fighting a gorilla. Because she has wanted to fight a gorilla for one year, since last year.
But of course, every time she has contemplated fighting a gorilla, she has realized that gorillas have brute strength. She has realized every time that they are hard to fight. And so every day since last year she has gone to the gym. Every day since last year she has gone to the gym and she has strained to lift weights. She has tried very hard to lift weights. Every day she has strained to lift weights. Every day she has worked out, exercised. Every day she has gotten stronger and stronger and stronger, since last year. So she has wanted to fight a gorilla. She has contemplated fighting a gorilla. She has gone to the gym. She has exercised. She has strained to lift weights every day since last year, until finally she was ready.
One day she said "I'm ready. I will proceed with my plan." And she did. She proceeded with her plan. She flew to Africa. In Africa she saw a big, strong, huge gorilla. But there was a problem. The gorilla had such a cute little baby. Oh no. Tomoe visualized the baby crying. She imagined the baby crying. And so Tomoe took the baby into consideration. She thought about the baby. And Tomoe decided not to fight the gorilla. Instead she played basketball with the gorilla and the gorilla baby. And everybody was very happy.
* * * * *
Okay, that's all. That's the end of our first mini-story. Again, you probably noticed there was a change in there. Actually a couple of little changes, you may have noticed that.
Don't worry about that. Just listen. Listen and understand. That's all you need to do. Do not think about. Do not analyze. Just listen. Understand the meaning, the general meaning. That's all you need to do.
Next one, into the future.
* * * * *
So next year there will be this girl Tomoe who will want to fight a gorilla. She's gonna wanna fight a gorilla. Well, first she's going to contemplate her goal. She'll think about it calmly, quietly. She'll contemplate her goal of fighting the gorilla and she'll realize something. She'll realize that gorillas have brute strength. Gorillas are not weak. They have brute strength. She'll realize this. She'll realize gorillas are very hard to fight. And so Tomoe's gonna go to the gym every day to get stronger. She'll strain hard to lift weights. She'll strain and she'll strain every day, lifting weights, getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
Finally, one day she'll be ready. She will proceed with her plan. She'll fly to Africa. But when she gets to Africa she'll have a problem. Yes, she's gonna see a huge, big, strong gorilla. But the gorilla will have a cute little baby. Tomoe will visualize the little baby crying. She'll imagine the baby crying. Tomoe will take the baby into consideration. She's gonna think about the baby. And she'll decide not to fight the gorilla. So of course, obviously, she'll decide instead to play basketball with the gorilla and the baby. And everybody will be very, very happy.
* * * * *
That is the end of the point of view stories for Taoism. Listen to this every day. Listen to the mini-story every day. Listen to the main audio every day for one week at least. More is fine, but at least one week. And always, every time you are listening to English, you have to have a peak emotional state. So you gotta jump. You gotta smile. You gotta move your body. Shoulders back, breathe. Feel great. Strong positive emotions, connect them to English. You'll learn much, much faster.
See you next time. Bye.

Ezenkosi Captain, Ange Lebahi (R) during a recent game against Royal Eagles FC.
The battle for survival is getting stiffer as Jomo Cosmos travel to Pretoria on Saturday to face AmaTuks (University of Pretoria) in a Match Day 28 NFD contest slated for Tuks Stadium.
Reports from Ezenkosi's camp reveal a clean bill of health for regular players as Captain and defensive pillar, Ange Dahou Lebahi leads his troops to war.
Cosmos currently lie in a precarious 12th on the NFD log and badly need a good result from this trip to be on safe ground ahead of next weekend's home game against Tshakhuma TM.
Both Cosmos and Tuks are out of contention for a play-off spot but matches between Cosmos and AmaTuks have never lacked that excitement and competitive spirit.
On current form, both teams are on a high having achieved positive away results last weekend; AmaTuks enjoyed a rare 2-1 win away to TS Sporting while Cosmos held Real Kings to a goalless draw in Durban.
The first round clash between the sides last October ended 1-1 at Vosloorus Stadium, with Ezenkosi rallying to grab a share of the spoils through Charlton Mashumba following Diego Franco's opener.
Four points separate the teams as AmaTuks lie 10th on the log with 34 points in 27 matches, while Cosmos are 12th with 30 points from similar number of games.
Kick off time at the Tuks Stadium is 15h00.

It's been a great year for readers, one that has paid tribute to that most infuriating but accurate phrase that is sagely presented in the face of impatience—good things, at least in the world of books, do seem to come to those who wait.
While we're still recovering from the publication in September of The Testaments, one of the most eagerly awaited novels in recent times that came 34 years after its genre-defining predecessor, there have been plenty of announcements to whet literary appetites. Hillary Mantel's final book in the Thomas Cromwell trilogy—the first two books both won the Booker Prize—will be published in March 2020; Susanna Clarke, author of the much loved Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, will have a new book out after 16 years in September 2020. Hell, we might even finally get Vikram Seth's long-awaited A Suitable Girl and the new George RR Martin (although you'd be forgiven for not staking your wintry kingdoms on this one).
For the latest news and more, follow HuffPost India on Twitter, Facebook, and subscribe to our newsletter.
But even as 2019 nears an end, there's still plenty on offer for readers as we hit the peak of literary prize season. Some of the biggest literary awards, both Indian and international, will be announcing their winners (and in some cases, shortlists) in the weeks to come, offering up a slew of reading lists in the process. It's a literary smorgasboard—prizes big and small, new and old, with debut authors and seasoned past winners all in the running—that can get hard to keep track of, so here's our handy guide to the major literary prizes to watch out for.
There's no getting around the fact that the Booker Prize is the most influential book award in English fiction publishing, especially after it changed its rules in 2014 to make books by authors outside the Commonwealth and Ireland eligible for the prize (the source of a lot of criticism). The Booker clearly matters. Last year, Anna Burns's Milkman was dismissed by many as too 'challenging' after it was announced as the winner but readers felt otherwise. It jumped in sales from 5,000 copies before its win to over half a million as of earlier this year. The shortlist of six titles this year might hold hope of similar success for a largely unknown author but the presence of two books by past winners of the prize seems to have reduced those odds significantly – The Testaments by Margaret Atwood, who won for The Blind Assassin in 2000 and Quichotte by Samlan Rushdie, who is a Booker fixture, having won for Midnight's Children in 1981, and again for the Best of Bookers prizes for the award's 25th and 40th anniversaries. With his newest novel receiving fairly mixed reviews, a win isn't guaranteed for the writer, leaving room for one of the other shortlisted titles, the most striking and talked about of which is Lucy Ellmann's Ducks, Newburyport, a 1,040-page long novel mostly comprised of a single sentence.
Announcement of the winner: October 14
The world's most prestigious literary award is back this year after its cancellation for the first time in nearly 70 years in 2018, following allegations of corruption and sexual assault that shook the Swedish Academy, the organisation that awards the Nobel Prize for Literature. Polish author Olga Tokarczuk and Austrian author Peter Handke were awarded prizes for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The near unprecedented cancellation in 2018 led to the establishment of an alternate prize that hoped to not only fill in the gap but also address the undeniable blind spots of the Nobel Prize, which is awarded by a homogenous cultural body that has a poor track record in representation—only 14 of its 114 laureates, for example, have been women—and famously opaque judging process. With its return, all eyes were on the prize with a sharper focus on these inequities. The Swedish Academy awarded two laureates this year, one for 2018 and another for 2019, and with the absence of any form of shortlist or idea of the judging process, a time-honoured practise provided us the only clue—good old fashioned gambling. Bookies have placed odds on potential winners for years and once again, the numbers for this year were in. Canadian poet and essayist Anne Carson had been touted as the likeliest to win with the highest odds, followed by Guadeloupean novelist Maryse Condé, who was awarded the Alternate Nobel last year. The venerable Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o was also on the list of likely awardees as he has been for years, but it is for fans of Haruki Murakami—infamously dubbed the "Nobel bridesmaid"—that the doubled odds meant the most. Of course, the last winner, English author Kazuo Ishiguro wasn't anywhere in the list with the highest odds, and we won't even talk about Bob Dylan.
Announcement of winner: October 10

Only in its second year, the JCB Prize has already become one of India's most talked about literary awards, in no small part, due to its Rs 25-lakh cash prize, making it the country's richest. Founded to recognise a "distinguished work of fiction by an Indian author", the prize, modeled after the Booker, only takes full-length novels into consideration but also has a specific focus on books translated from any Indian languages to English—in case the winning book is a translation, the translator gets a Rs 10-lakh prize. Last year, Malayalam writer Benyamin's acclaimed Jasmine Days, translated by Shahnaz Habib, took home the inaugural edition of the prize.
This year, six novels are in the running for the top prize – Perumal Murugan's twin sequels to One Part Woman messing with what is supposed to be a list of five – whittled down from a longlist of 11 by a jury chaired by environmentalist and filmmaker Pradip Kishen. Besides Murugan (who was on last year's shortlist as well), Manoranjan Byapari's There's Gunpowder In The Air is the other translation to make the cut, alongside two debut novels – Ib's Endless Search For Satisfaction and The Far Field – and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar's My Father's Garden.
Announcement of winner: November 2
India's first literary prize exclusively for non-fiction books, the Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize comes with a purse of Rs 15 lakh for winners. Set up last year, the prize is awarded to the best "non-fiction book on modern/contemporary India", irrespective of genre—history, biography, memoir, travel, political commentary are all eligible. In its inaugural edition, Milan Vaishnav took home the prize for When Crime Pays, an in-depth study of the co-existence of crime and democratic processes in Indian politics. This year, six books are on the shortlist, ranging from Ornit Shani's How India Became Democratic, a rigorously researched and fascinating history of how universal adult franchise was rolled out across India, to Manoranjan Byapari's searing memoir, Interrogating My Chandal Life: An Autobiography of a Dalit. The two heavyweight titles in the running, however, are anthropologist Alpa Shah's accomplished Nightmarch: Among India's Guerrilla Revolutionaries, which was shortlisted for the prestigious Orwell Prize for Political Writing, and journalist Snigdha Poonam's highly acclaimed Dreamers, which combines reporting and commentary to ask what drives young Indians today.
Announcement of winner: November 9-10
One year short of completing a decade, the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature still holds a fair share of prestige (and a $25,000 prize) even as it's been unseated from its position as the richest literary award in India. The DSC Prize is distinct in its vision, however—awarding fiction about South Asia, irrespective of the nationality of its authors. The 2019 longlist of 15 books, announced in September, features several prominent literary names—Perumal Murugan for A Lonely Harvest, Mirza Waheed for Tell Her Everything and Fatima Bhutto for The Runaways, among others—but the year seems to belong to debut authors – Madhuri Vijay's The Far Field, Akil Kumarasamy's Half Gods and Nadeem Zaman's In The Time of Others are in the running alongside four other first-time novelists. With the shortlist being announced in London in November, and the final winner in Nepal in December, it's a bit of a wait to see which book will join past winners—including Jeet Thayil's Narcopolis, HM Naqvi's Home Boy and last year's No Presents Please by Jayant Kaikini, translated by Tejaswini Niranjana—but the meaty longlist will make for rewarding reading in the meantime.

Currently in its 12th year, the Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize has firmly established itself as one of the most prestigious awards for debut authors in the South Asian subcontinent. The prize, which comes with a purse of Rs 2 lakh, counts Sujatha Gidla's Ants Among Elephants, Bilan Tanweer's The Scatter Is Too Great Here and Rohini Mohan's The Seasons of Trouble among past winners. This year, the shortlist of five titles comprises two books of non-fiction and three novels, including late Bangaldeshi author Numair Choudhury's Babu Bangladesh! and Roshan Ali's Ib's Endless Search For Satisfaction, which also found a spot on the JCB Prize shortlist. Tony Joseph's much-talked about book, Early Indians, on the ancestry of Indians, sits alongside journalist Priyanka Dubey's work of reportage on violence against women in India as the two non-fiction titles.
Announcement of winner: November
Although they're a US-based set of literary prizes, celebrating the "best writing in America", the National Book Awards deserve attention, particularly this year, because of their daring and exciting choices of nominations—and a wide array of reading lists in the process—especially in a year that the Booker Prize longlist pretty much paid no attention to American writers. Awarded in five categories—fiction, non-fiction, translated literature, poetry, and 'young people's literature'—this year's nominees include heavyweight names like past winner Colson Whitehead for The Nickel Boys and Booker winner Marlon James for Black Leopard, Red Wolf but a number of accomplished debut authors also find pride of place, including Ocean Voung for On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.

Letters to the Editor
In the article on ESDI drives, the URL for the MCA page should be: http://glycerine.cetmm.uni.edu/mca/. I love your magazine. Three articles in this issue answered questions I had been having. Keep up the good work.
—Pete firstname.lastname@example.com
I have read articles saying many wonderful things about Linux and I believe most of them to be true. Unfortunately, the extent of hardware support that some of these articles claim is not a reality—or at least does not seem to be when it comes to Compaq equipment.
I have just spent the best part of a day searching the Internet by various means, including various search engines, trying to find drivers to support the embedded NCR 53C710-based SCSI controller in a Compaq ProLiant 2000 and also drivers to support a Compaq SMART SCSI RAID array controller. Result: nothing, except a lot of stress.
Please can someone help me (and the many others who I have encountered looking for these drivers). Linux claims to support quite a bit of hardware—please extend this support to include some key Compaq server items.
—Graeme Nelson email@example.com
I'm writing you after seeing one too many odes to the glories of the Open Source movement. I have a serious problem with the whole Open Source bandwagon due to the fact that Open Source is almost solely about making free software palatable to business—a segment of society which has played a largely non-existent role in the development of free software. Business has done nothing to make the user and programmer community at large more aware of the benefits of free software. I feel the primary benefits are individual and social freedom.
The June article by Eric S. Raymond, "Open Source Summit", is a good example of the fundamental emptiness of the Open Source movement. The O'Reilly conference report struck me as being more about how Larry Wall, et al., can strike it rich than about how the lives of users and programmers can be enhanced through free software. I have nothing against people being financially compensated for their labor, but being financially compensated for one's labor has always been a secondary or even irrelevant consideration in the free software movement and rightfully so.
The most appalling notion implied in the rhetoric of the Open Source movement is that we, those of us who use/write/support free software, have to change our ways and adopt a more corporate mindset if we want free software to be successful in the real world. This is manifestly ridiculous. If free software hadn't already proven itself thoroughly in the real world, there wouldn't even be an Open Source movement. In fact, I think that free software and the free software movement have proven themselves to such an amazing degree that the corporate world now wants to find a way to squeeze a buck out of us. Again, there is nothing wrong with making a buck, but don't you dare do it at the expense of my freedom.
Unfortunately, free software developers are not a major source of advertising dollars for LJ, so it is not likely that LJ will be publishing alternate views to the Open Source camp anytime soon. That apparently being the case, I would suggest that if LJ readers are interested in an alternate view of the free software movement, check out, for starters, Richard Stallman's article "Why Free Software is better than Open Source" at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-or-free.html.
—Shawn Ewald firstname.lastname@example.com
While I disagree with your stated beliefs, I'm always happy to publish alternate views—I have done so in the past, do so now with your letter and will do so again in the future. While it is true that LJ does not receive advertising dollars from free software, we put free software items in the "New Products" column and publish reviews and tutorials of free software.
Linux Journal strongly supports "freely available" software and the Open Source movement. This is one reason we chose the Debian distribution to use in our office.
By the way, I see no reason for you to have singled out Larry Wall as looking for a way to "strike it rich". Perl is free and Larry is most definitely not a money-grubbing type of guy.
My thanks to the numerous people who've written in response to my article in LJ #50, "PPPui: A Friendly GUI For PPP". To anyone interested in more features—especially anyone who relies on single-use passwords—please check http://www.teleport.com/~nmeyers/PPPui/ for features added to PPPui since the article was originally submitted.
—Nathan Meyers firstname.lastname@example.com
I just wanted to mention that we have a couple of people in our lab who provide Sybase connectivity (server running on Irix) in their Linux programs. They told me that it is fairly easy to get it working using freely available C code downloaded from the Web.
—Marjan email@example.com
In Issue #50's article, "PPPui: A Friendly GUI for PPP", Mr. Meyers notes that PPP does not have a good user interface: the only way you know if your connection succeeded or failed is to check the process list. Mr. Meyers offers a solution.
There's actually a simpler way than his program: direct syslog to Console 9 as described in an earlier issue of Linux Journal, and enable logging in chat using --v. Then, just hit alt—f9 to view your syslog console, and you can watch the progress of chat's attempt to connect. Failed connects show up as Alarm, exit or hangups; a sluggish connection can be observed as pppd sends EchoReq's out. Disconnects show as hangups. This live syslog is also invaluable when debugging your chat script.

So there I was, reading the review of Caldera OpenLinux (June 1998), and the reviewer, Sid Wentworth, writes:
Caldera, by default, uses the Looking Glass Desktop. Not being a desktop sort of guy, I am not particularly excited about it, but, if you want a desktop, it seems adequate.
Great! He's not a desktop sort of guy. Why is a "non-desktop" kind of guy getting paid for reviewing anything other than AWK scripts?
It's hard to take seriously reviews that completely leave out subjective comments about functionality a reviewer doesn't really have an interest in, or more to the point, his audience does have an interest in. Don't care about it, don't review it—simple! The rest of us, though, might have been interested in the state of this product's constantly evolving user environment, but the heck with us. You need better writers, which shouldn't be too difficult. At least the Windows techies take apart the toys they review.
—Tim email@example.com
There is a lot more to Caldera OpenLinux (or any Linux distribution) than the desktop. Also, desktop choices are available with any Linux flavor. In the case of Caldera OpenLinux, I found their proprietary desktop to be unexciting, but I also found that to be unimportant over all.
I could have easily written a 50-page review of this product—so many capabilities are there to discuss. For example, each language translator could have been reviewed. Even if I just looked at GUI capabilities, a comprehensive review of desktops would need to include comparisons with XFM and other free file managers.
Don't get me wrong. If Looking Glass had been exciting, I would have talked more about it. It wasn't and I don't think it matters. What did matter, as I said in the article, was StarOffice which, by the way, is its own desktop.
—Sid firstname.lastname@example.com
I believe that the "Best of Tech Support" column in the May 1998 LJ contains a small error. Regarding the question of Linux's behaviour when a file system is infected with an MS-DOS virus, Chad Robinson states that because Linux spreads file system meta-data more evenly throughout the physical disc, "random potshots" are more likely to cause corruption of the meta-data. This is misleading, in that if the amounts of meta-data were the same, the probability of a potshot hitting the part of an MS-DOS file system containing meta-data is equal to that of it hitting more evenly distributed meta-data on an EXT2 file system. "Concentration" does not affect the probability, only the amount of meta-data.
—Sidney email@example.com
Simon Maurice in the June 1998 LJ criticizes Red Hat v5.0 for perceived shortcomings. Is he truly serious in saying that Red Hat's RPMS is a "Microsoft-like effort"? I think the package management system is one of the features that puts Red Hat distributions at or near the top of the pile. Where are all the bugs he alleges? I've found a few wrinkles, but nothing I'd call a serious bug.
As to the alleged problems with the actual distribution, I have run both the v4.2 and the v5.0 distributions as "official/supported" releases. I haven't applied any patches—yet my system is so stable it hasn't crashed since March 1998 when RH5.0 was installed. (Which is more than I can say for my Windows NT4 system.)
However, I do agree that Red Hat should be more polite when it comes to customer (e-mail) support. I asked several questions about the v4.2 distribution and was curtly told the questions were outside the support structure and to try the mailing lists. I wasn't happy with that answer, but it taught me to go to the documented sources first.
For $50 or so, Red Hat's distribution is by many orders of magnitude easier to use and install than the first distribution of Linux I bought back in 1993 (Trans Ameritech, v0.90 kernel). Compared to commercial operating systems (e.g., SCO, Windows NT), there is no comparison, whether for value for money, stability or user support. Where else but in the Linux community can you get bug fixes (if they are needed) so quickly?
—Alan firstname.lastname@example.com
I just received the June 1998 LJ (love> that airmail delivery folks). In "Best of Technical Support", Chad Robinson and Pierre Ficheux both gave useful answers to "how do I back up NT and Linux". However, you should know that the AMANDA package (Advanced Maryland Automated Network Disk Archiver, http://www.amanda.org/) works well with NT as well as with just about any flavour of UNIX. The current release version is 2.4.0 (with 2.4.1 in snapshot development form), and people all over the world are using it to back up all sorts of machines.
