After having read up a lot on the playbook, I decided to take the plunge and pick it up during the offer period.
First bit of advice to anyone considering the Playbook, please do your own research, based on your requirements.
The Playbook is a brilliant device as an overall package. The biggest drawback is the lack of apps and the fact that the future of the device is uncertain. Having said that, OS 2.0 (Which has been reported to be made available in February) will support most Android apps. This should completely take care of the apps 'situation'.

Football heads to postseason after home loss
Published on Wed, Nov 6, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
Was too much Halloween candy before the game a factor in the Borderite loss to Nooksack Valley? Probably not, but whatever the reason, Blaine was upset 40–26 in a come-from-behind loss at home October 31.
The outcome of the game may have been disappointing for Blaine football, but luckily for the Borderites it didn't affect their postseason standings. Conversely, the win may have been a great way to end the season for the Pioneers, but it didn't get them into playoffs.
Outside factors determined the postseason fates of both teams. Mount Baker beat Meridian, securing Blaine a Northwest Conference (NWC) 1A number two seed and an automatic bid to the Tri-District tournament. Meanwhile, Lynden Christian beat Friday Harbor, crushing Nooksack Valley's playoff hopes.
The game was a tale of two halves for the Borderites. Blaine built a 19–6 lead in the first half, only to fall behind in the
second. Nooksack Valley cut away at the lead with a touchdown just before halftime, and then proceeded to reverse scoring roles with Blaine, putting up 21 points and shutting out Blaine in the third quarter. Both teams scored once in the fourth, and the Pioneers secured the upset. Nooksack Valley owned a 2–6 overall record heading into the game, while Blaine was 4–4.
"For whatever reason, we didn't come out of the locker room in the second half," said head coach Jay Dodd. "Nooksack Valley came out really strong, did a great job of executing basic plays and we didn't defend very well."
Senior Borderite Cole Muder ran for 161 yards on 34 carries for Blaine, and scored two touchdowns. He broke the ice with a one-yard touchdown run nine minutes into the game. On Blaine's next possession, junior wide receiver Josiah Westbrook broke free of coverage on the sideline, and sophomore quarterback Marcus Potts hit him for a 43-yard touchdown with two minutes left in the first quarter. Potts went on to pass for 155 yards in the game, with Westbrook catching five passes for 112 yards.
Tanner Myhre scored Nooksack Valley's first touchdown on a five-yard run three minutes before the half. Blaine senior running back Brian Ferrer answered with a 51-yard touchdown run. The play was a fullback trap, a "quick-hitting play that keeps the defense honest in the middle," Dodd said. "Brian is very quick, and he outran a very good secondary to get the touchdown." Ferrer rushed for 63 yards on four carries in the game. Dalton Biehle next scored for the Pioneers on a three-yard run, making it 19–12 at the half.
"Before Nooksack Valley's first score in the third quarter, we were playing good football," Dodd said. "We were controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and I think going into halftime we were very confident. When we came back out onto the field, we weren't hungry – we weren't playing with urgency and they were."
In the third quarter, Blaine couldn't find an answer for Nooksack Valley's passing game. Pioneer quarterback Tanner Myhre lit up the field, scoring on three long passing plays spread throughout the quarter. Myhre would end the night with 337 passing yards and four touchdowns, completing 20 of 30 pass attempts.
Blaine's offense couldn't get going either. Blaine had a three-and-out possession that led to a Nooksack Valley touchdown, then a fumble that led to another Pioneer touchdown.
"We really struggled in all phases of the game in the second half," Dodd said.
In the fourth, Myhre hit receiver Connor Beard for an 82-yard touchdown. Muder scored the final touchdown of the game on an eight-yard run with two minutes left to play, for a final score of 40–26.
Since it didn't affect playoff standings, the loss was, at best, a harmless lesson for the Borderites.
"Considering the loss to Mount Baker, that's two games in a row where the other team stepped up their play in the second half, and we didn't," Dodd said, referring to the Mount Baker game October 25. "We need to figure out how to come out and play four quarters. It's coming out strong in the first quarter, playing well in the first half, but then coming out even stronger in the second half."
Blaine superintendent Ron Spanjer watched the Halloween game, which was also senior night.
"It was a tough loss, but thankfully it doesn't affect playoff standings," Spanjer said. "We don't have to play the half-game playoff like we did last year."
In 2012, Meridian knocked Blaine out of the District 1 mini-playoff in the final minutes of the two-quarter game. With the Mount Baker win over Meridian this year, Blaine advances directly to the Tri-District tournament.
The Borderites will host the Port Townsend Redskins at Civic Field in Bellingham on Friday, November 8. The Redskins have an overall season record of 4–2, with a very strong running game and three different looks on defense. Quarterback Jacob King has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in seven games this season.
"We've been looking at a lot of film," Dodd said. "Their quarterback is a strong runner and they have two other strong runners as well. We'll have our hands full defending against their run."
On the other side of the ball, the Borderites are forming a game plan to contend with three different types of defense the Redskins have run throughout the season.
"We want to be ready for whichever defense they show us," Dodd said.
Kickoff of the November 8 game at Civic Field in Bellingham is set for 7 p.m., and the gates open at 5:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and students without an Associated Student Body (ASB) card and $5 for senior citizens, elementary students and students with an ASB card.

At any one time, there are numerous cancer clinical trials going on that seek to improve the care and outcome for cancer patients worldwide. Some of these trials involve only our patients; other trials include people from across the U.S. or from other countries.
The Northern Indiana Cancer Research Consortium (NICRC) is a group of medical institutions joined together to support cancer research in the Northern Indiana region. These member institutions are Elkhart General Hospital, IU-LaPorte Hospital, Memorial Hospital of South Bend, and St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. Lakeland Hospital in St. Joseph, Michigan, has also joined the NICRC.
The Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) is a major long-term effort in cancer control to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality. The CCOP is funded through a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) through the National Institute of Health. The Northern Indiana CCOP is the first in the state of Indiana. Currently there are 20 regional medical investigators, a psychosocial investigator, nurses and multi-specialists that are participating in clinical research through the NICRC and CCOP. The advantages of a CCOP are its ability to offer state of the art cancer treatment, access to investigational drugs through the NCI, access to clinical trials, and patient assurance of the best possible cancer care.
Patients who are enrolled in clinical trials are more likely to receive overall better treatment for several reasons. Treatment regimens must be strictly followed, monitoring is rigid and consistent, and follow-up is mandatory. Patients entering a clinical trial are carefully educated about the treatment and must sign a patient informed consent approved by the CCOP Institutional Review Board.
The NICRC and CCOP have about 120 clinical trials for most cancer disease sites and stages. Also there are several Prevention Trials open for breast cancer, (STAR Trial), prostate cancer (SELECT Trial) and a smoking cessation trial for lung cancer prevention. A Proteomics Trial has been opened to study specific proteins in the blood of patients with cancer and also for people without a current diagnosis of cancer.
In cancer research, a clinical trial is a study conducted with cancer patients, usually to evaluate a new treatment. Each study is designed to answer scientific questions and to find new and better ways to help cancer patients.
The search for good cancer treatments begins with basic research in laboratory and animal studies. The best results of that research are tried in patient studies, hopefully leading to findings that may help many people.
Before a new treatment is tried with patients, it is carefully studied in the laboratory. This research points out the new methods most likely to succeed, and, as much as possible, shows how to use them safely and effectively. But this early research cannot predict exactly how a new treatment will work with patients.
With any new treatment there may be risks as well as possible benefits. There may also be some risks that are not yet known. Clinical trials help us find out if a promising new treatment is safe and effective for patients. During a trial, more and more information is gained about a new treatment, its risks, and how well it may or may not work.
Standard treatments, the ones now being used, are often the base for building new and hopefully better treatments. Many new treatments are designed on the basis of what has worked in the past, in efforts to improve on this.
Only patients who wish to, take part in a clinical trial. You may be interested in or asked to enter a trial. Learn as much as you can about the trial before you make up your mind.
Clinical trials are important because they help bring about new treatments and sometimes even a cure. Long before a clinical trial begins, new methods and treatment undergo extensive research in the laboratory. Only medications that show promise are brought to clinical trial. A trial tests a new type of treatment scientists hope will prove better or more effective than standard treatments currently being used. You should discuss the possibility of participating in a clinical trial with your physician.
Before a patient is enrolled in a trial, he or she must understand all of its potential risks and benefits. Cancer patients may enroll in trials investigating new types of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy or other types of treatment under development. Like any cancer treatment, treatment given during a clinical trial can have side effects and risks. Patients are asked to sign informed consent forms before receiving their first treatment and are monitored carefully during the length of the trial. Patients may see the doctor more often and have more tests than they would if they received an already accepted form of treatment.
Trials are often specific to one type of cancer, such as lung cancer or prostate cancer. Information learned can sometimes be applied to other types of cancer, broadening the use of the results.
Cancer clinical trials are divided into three phases:

I've been getting this Undefined Alias Referenced error showing up everytime I open one specific drawing.
Anyone know how to resolve this message?
Also, I'm not sure if this is related to the first part. In the same drawing I have several png files that I can't get rid of.
Thanks! That worked.
I still have those pgn files in my xref manager. All of the files are unreferenced but i cannot detach them
If you use the tree view in the reference manager, are they nested in another file? If not, can you map them to a png file that you can see and then remove them that way?
There are two reference files in this drawing. Neither of the two references have the png files in them.
The saved path the png files are trying to follow does not exist on my computer.
I don't believe we ever had these files therefore I cannot map them back. So is there another way of removing them from the drawing outside of the xref manager?
You don't have to map back to the 'right' file. You can map the reference to any file at all. (Possibly any .png, rather than any file.)
I don't know if that will help you to remove them, but there you go.
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
that's exactly what I was trying to say. This happens to me all the time when someone references a Google Earth image and they save that image on their C: drive. Then when I open it, I don't have the image. I map it to another image on my computer, then I can see it and remove it.
Purg any unused blocks in the drawing then try to detach the image. If that doesn't work you can then use the filter command to select all images in the drawing to erase (delete). You should then receive a message about detaching the image(s).

The Hawks liked their bench players so much last season they are hoping they can lure them back for 2012-13.
"When we go forward I would anticipate–because our bench was so good for us last year [and] in our exit meetings with our veterans to a man said, 'Can we get our same bench back?'–we are definitely going to make an effort to do that," Hawks assistant GM Dave Pendergraft said. "Because, as you know, that was one of the deeper benches I've been involved with. It helped us sustain the injuries. I think they enjoyed the experience.
"I feel like the guys who came off the bench felt they had an identity. I think they felt appreciated by the starters. I think we would be their first choice. Now, I think a lot of things play into that but we talked to all of them and they had a good experience. "
All of the 2011-12 reserves except for Ivan Johnson (the Hawks plan to extend him a qualifying offer to retain salary-matching rights) will be unrestricted free agents next month: Jason Collins, Erick Dampier, Willie Green, Kirk Hinrich, Tracy McGrady, Jannero Pargo, Vladimir Radmanovic and Jerry Stackhouse.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a scenario in which the Hawks rebuild their bench by bringing back most of those veterans if possible while supplanting one of them with their first-round draft pick, a player they hope can immediately join the back of the rotation.
"We have got to play it out," Hawks GM Rick Sund said. "You can't make any decisions even in your head right now. You can only play out scenarios because you don't know what the [luxury] tax is going to be, you don't know what the cap is going to be, you don't know who you are going to draft."
The Hawks did have a solid bench last season but, for various reasons, there is some risk in bringing back each of those players.
In the front court, Collins had some slippage and you wonder if Dampier will stay in shape this summer. Dampier turns 38 next month and Collins will be 34 in December.
The Hawks might be pressing their luck to hope Green can duplicate his career-best season–his inability to create shots in the playoffs against Boston's defense may have been a sign. Also, he'll be 31 next month after lingering injuries cost him 13 games last season.
Pargo also had the most efficient scoring season of his career but, like Green, the lasting impression was being overmatched by the Celtics. Larry Drew really likes Hinrich because of his defensive tenacity but Hinrich's offensive production and efficiency continued to drop off and he looked beat up for most of the season.
On the wing, McGrady's occasional flashes of his old play-making magic couldn't compensate for his physical deterioration and his seeming inability to fully come to grips with that. Radmanovic also couldn't stay healthy and went through stretches where he seemed reluctant to do the one thing the Hawks signed him to do, shoot 3-pointers. Stackhouse played in just 30 regular-season games and none in the playoffs.
Whatever the individual weaknesses of those players, Sund said he believes they collectively created a good blend for the Hawks.
"Last year I think we were the deepest team in the from league one through 15 once we picked up Dampier," Sund said. "We had a great composite with the versatility and flexibility. It gave a lot of options for Larry, which he used a lot. He changed lineups and he could match up well.
"Also I think the really good teams can play the different styles. You can play an up-tempo game, you can play a defensive game, they can grind it out. I think the team with the best record, San Antonio, was the best at that. I think with all the versatility we had that was a plus. We could do that. And we were one of the best defensive teams in the league."
Of course, the realities of the marketplace could trump whatever misgivings the Hawks have about bringing back last season's reserves or signing other similarly-flawed free agents. You have to take what you can get if you are limited to filling out the roster with minimum-salaried vets.
If last season's reserves don't find much love on the free-agent market then perhaps they return.
"I think some of the guys are definitely in the mix," Drew said. "My feeling is a lot of the guys are probably going to try to obviously get the best offer they can and go where the best offer is. We will be talking to most of them to see what they are thinking. We are going to have to make sure we are strengthening our bench and guys who can fit in with the core.
"There are certain pieces we are looking for. Last year I thought was a pretty good blend, a pretty good mix, and we kind of have an idea now of the type of players we need to bring in. We have already started to look at that free agent list and what's out there and whether we can afford them or not. But with nine free agents got our work cut out for us. I don't know who we can get."
Some of last season's reserves talked about the possibility of returning as they headed out the door.
Green: "I've got nine years in the NBA and I'm just looking forward to the next challenge. We will see what happens. If the opportunity is here [in Atlanta], this is where I will be. If not, I wish the Hawks the best.
Pargo: "Just looking for any team that wants me. Once I find out what teams want me, then go from there. If [the Hawks] will have me, I would love to be back."
Hinrich: "Talent-wise, we are one of the better teams in the East. You play in this league for a certain amount of time and you want to be on a winner. We will see what happens. I could be back here, or could not."

Ditch Vlad and Collins for sure.
Dampier also, unless your sure he's in shape.
Stack – Join Mo' Evans as Coach at the Summer League, ok?
MCgrady, Green, Hinrich, Pargo – I'm ok with that I guess – but Pargo needs to be the 3rd string PG, not 2nd.

When Sund talks, doesn't it just make you want to throw something?
He has no PR skills whatsoever; he never answers anything. Totally disgusting, and it looks like this group is back again for another short run in the playoffs.
MC, you just burst any hope of progress that we as fans thought they might make. If all the reserves say yes, they'll come back, that means we have the same motley crew to beat up on -.500 teams, and watch another up and coming team step over us in the standings.
If I were LeBron and Co, I could take a long vacation, relax knowing that the Hawks are satisfied with competing in Season 1.
Totally disgusting.

"We had a great composite with the versatility and flexibility. It gave a lot of options for Larry, which he used a lot."
Sund says this like it's a good thing.
KYP – Know Your Personnel.
And apparently Sund doesn't have a clue that giving LD too many options is debilitating to team success. This organization lives in a world of make believe.

Jamal opted out of 5.4 mill with the Trailblazers – I'm not sure how the Hawks will be pursuing him – unless they take the best offer out there for Marvin, regardless of what it is.
Lang Greene said we are not going to just give Marvin away.
He also said he doubt's Jamal comes back – the Motion O is not for him.
June 22nd, 2012
3:14 pm
Well there you have it..The more things stay the same round here..
Hey Sund why dont you tell All Whatever to work on his finesse game so not to re-injure himself..
Oh that's right, that's not a part of his skill set and will never be.
Well at least I can save money again this coming season…
Sund Retire will ya??????????????????????????????????????????

MC, is there anyway you can give us an update on the workouts today?
How did Andrew Nicholson fair?
June 22nd, 2012
3:19 pm
I definitely think Ivan and Pargo are worth keeping. Dampier can be replaced with the draft pick of Fab Melo (who should be there). Collins should not be retained and it was a mistake, IMO, to bring him back this past season. This is also tells me that the Hawks 2nd round pick MUST make the team. No NBDL or off to Europe for seasoning. This draft is deep enough to have a quality player in the 2nd round.
I agree on Willie Green although he's a very good leader and the team seemed to perk up with him in the game.
June 22nd, 2012
3:19 pm
"Lang Greene said we are not going to just give Marvin away."
In real words, no one will take him……
Sund, can we give you away?
June 22nd, 2012

Hey I give Sund credit for his honesty..
He keeps saying he don' know……… Help us please?
June 22nd, 2012
3:21 pm
Please no Vlad Rad, Stack, Collins, really no Damp either, unless he's in good shape.
Hit a homerun at #23.
And I see no lottery player that gives us what Josh gives us except Davis. Everybody else is a long term project. Drummond may be great or he may be a bust. MKG? A couple of years away. Beal? Same.
Robinson? Ok rebounding translates – so he's a little better than Faried maybe.
UNC F? Too risky after Marvin
June 22nd, 2012
3:23 pm
Can we please take a risk reward on Brandon Roy?
In a 6th man role.
June 22nd, 2012
3:23 pm
Henson or Zeller may be ok. Same with Meyer Leonard. But nobody's going to give you what Josh does that I can see.
So do you trade Josh for a lesser player?
June 22nd, 2012
3:25 pm
Brain Butch, Chris Daniels or somebody may give you what Collins and Dampier would, except for just pure size and bulk.
Give Benson another shot.
June 22nd, 2012
3:27 pm
I sign Roy tomorrow if there is any chance he can play 15 minutes per nite.
June 22nd, 2012
3:27 pm
The joke for sure is on the fans. When it is obvious from lack of attendance at games and the comments on blogs that fans want change we are told, it was good and so it will be the same. Is anybody on the Hawks listening? Are they so pompous and full of themselves that they refuse to listen to anyone? The fans, the commentators, the newspaper writers, the pundits? Apparently all wrong. ONLY SUND, DREW and GEARON know the truth. Well, the joke will be on them when they and the players are the only ones at the games. Just sell it to Seattle and be done with it.

June 22nd, 2012
3:32 pm
Yea Josh will play it out then walk? Will not be surprised that's for sure..
"We have to Play it Out"= we[Hawks] are convinced that we have ECF talent on this ballclub..
Not buying it Sund…
June 22nd, 2012
3:34 pm
MC, Any word that if that Sund is coming back to this team and when we can get a new GM for real. Also, do you think that the Hawks will try to make some moves in Draft?
I am starting to think these guys are play "Scorched earth" games around here, they try to make the fans feel so assured that this team is going to pass the hump to the ECF or even the playoffs. But in reality, we are just like a middling team with no cap space and no hope at all. This team needs to be sold and sold right now or they are going to lose the rest of the fan-base.
June 22nd, 2012
3:43 pm
Um… did Sund get extended while I wasn't looking?
June 22nd, 2012
3:50 pm
The answer is to keep Josh and Horford and not move either one.
People keep talking about Josh is a gone man he's not gone if ownership does what is right, and that's the point ASKG never does what is right Honestly to me Josh Smith is so game changing that if I'm GM #1 I'm taking a lot of the other teams players plus draft picks for this year and next.
Like say Portland for example I'm taking a good bit of their younger players back plus both picks and some of their next years picks.
That is the only way I'd get over Josh Smith leaving unless *sigh* ownership does what they are normally good at doing and F'up the Draft picks.
Besides that though WE NEED TO GET RID OF JOE CHOKE MAX JOHNSON! Let him be someone else's problem. He didn't thrive in this offense that I haven't really seen much of since last season. Because they did exactly what everyone thought they would do revert back to Mike Woodson Iso Joe Style offense.
June 22nd, 2012
3:50 pm
I am for keeping Zaza (he returns to the bench with Al returning), Hinrich, Ivan and Pargo. The rest of the bench needs to go. TJerk isn't consistent anymore, Stackhouse is 135 and the others just aren't going to be servicable. I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Brandon Roy and howzabout a trade of Marvin.
June 22nd, 2012
4:00 pm
Sund thinks we were the deepest team in the LEAGUE last year??? Is he crazy??!?!? Our bench was WAAAAY overrated. Cunningham's analysis was accurate. Most of those guys are expendable. Ivan is worth keeping, Pargo as a third pg, Kirk only at a hugely discounted price or not at all. All the rest, ditch em. T-Mac won't be back, I think that's a lock, same with VladRad.
June 22nd, 2012
4:02 pm
So in other words they want to bring back last years mediocre team that took a step backwards in the playoffs.. Spend some $$$$ for once and build a contender! We can't contend with half of the teams in the East. So frustrated by this article.
June 22nd, 2012
4:05 pm
Ivan is a keeper
Zaza is a most def keeper in fact I'm in favor of starting him moving Al to PF and Josh to SF.
Cause if we don't it doesn't give Sund a reason to go draft a legit Center that they are willing to train to at least be a Roy Hibbert basically.
Plus Wasn't Horford on the record not wanting to play Center few years or even a year back? So for the most part Dampier and Collins don't cut it only on a team like Boston or Spurs would they even be acceptable cause both coaches know how to use them.
June 22nd, 2012
4:12 pm
I dont want another year of Twin. I didnt want him last season and I dont want him this upcoming season. Twin is terrible. I dont mind Ivan, Green, and Pargo but no more Twin. This front office has no clue. Its clear they wont be breaking up the core and we will see more of the same from last season. Its hard as hell being a fan of this team.
June 22nd, 2012
4:15 pm
Excited about the bench with Al coming back strong and our draft picks strengthening it. Hopefully we use the MLE and make a strong push.
June 22nd, 2012
4:20 pm
Jason Collins – Only good when guarding Dwight Howard
Erick Dampier – Too old and can't finish
Willie Green – Shot the ball well last year and should have played more
Kirk Hinrich – Plays ok defense but jumpshot is beyond repair
Tracy McGrady – Played well in the playoffs
Jannero Pargo – ok but shoots too may 3's
Vladimir Radmanovic – Washed up
Jerry Stackhouse – Washed up
Give me Big Ivan, Mcgrady, and Willie Green. Let the rest walk. Time to give up on Jason Collins.
June 22nd, 2012

We all know the Hawks are going to blow it in the draft. They'll probably sell the pick or draft some guy no one's ever heard of. Until the ASG is gone, so are the Hawks and their fans. I mean come on…Who wants to go to another Hawks game? Not me!
June 22nd, 2012
4:36 pm
I don't mind bringing back most of the same bench, except a) I would replace Green's roster spot with a true veteran backup PG who can handle the ball and control tempo, and b) I would replace Vlad's roster spot with another viable big man who can rebound and defend. Those two roster spots should have gone to Reggie Evans and Earl Watson anyway.
I'm picking Pargo over Green because even though both have more or less the same strengths and weaknesses, in my opinion Pargo is capable of doing more things than Green.
One thing, though, is that this bench cannot be relied on to produce offense unless they have a facilitator. If T-Mac is one and done with the Hawks, they better find someone else who can come in and create easy shots for the second unit.
June 22nd, 2012

I've been a loyal fan since I was 10 yrs old, but I'm really starting to dislike this franchise.

even when you see ineptitude and know the more is coming, it is doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
henceforth, i shall call the hawks, the hakws because they always get it backwards.

Keep this bench another year? Deepest team in the League?
I am going the throw up. Sund can't be serious with his comments. Hope he is keeping his plans close to his chest and feeding the media nothing. I hope.

"Najeh, I love reading your stuff, but this is the most absurd thing you have ever posted:
"The Hawks lost to the Celtics because they can't score and the Celtics can."
The ease with which the Celtics scored was purely a function of Larry Drew deciding to have poor defenders like Teague and Pargo try to check Rondo. Watch the video I linked. Teague ISN'T EVEN TRYING to stay in front of Rondo."
First of all I have been posting on AJC blogs for seven years, so I'm pretty sure I have posted something more absurd than that.
Secondly, I don't see what video you linked, so I can't really respond. I do remember, though, that the Hawks as a whole played solid team defense for every game of that series except Game 4. I don't agree that Teague was that bad on D, but even if I were to accept that contention of yours, the Hawks held the Celtics to offensive ratings below their season average in five of the six games of the series.
The Celtics' season offensive rating was 101.0. The Hawks' season defensive rating was 101.2. The Celtics' offense only exceeded that number in two games, one of which they lost anyway.
Unfortunately, the Hawks were also held to offensive ratings of 95 or below in each of their four losses. For comparison's sake, the Celtics' top ranked defense allowed a 98 rating for the season. So in other words, the Hawks scored at such an inefficient rate in their four losses that they performed below the average for a typical Celtics opponent this season.
I stand by what I said before. The Hawks lost to the Celtics because they couldn't score. In crunch time, the Celtics moved the ball and got open shots while the Hawks dribbled the air out of the ball and ended up with Josh launching 3s with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. Individual player matchups aside, the team stats (which ultimately are what determine wins and losses) bear this out.
June 22nd, 2012

The Summer of Sameness is operating in the 4th gear. Now, we just need the final touches on the GM decision and we'll be at top speed going no where.
June 22nd, 2012
4:50 pm
Another thing about the bench — they absolutely must add a perimeter defender to the mix. Damien Wilkins isn't exactly All-Defense material and yet his absence was felt this season.
Zaza is obviously still under contract. Preferably Ivan comes back, although if they can find someone like him in the draft or in free agency he is not irreplaceable. They need a perimeter defender, and they need a veteran big man to defend true centers (preferably an upgrade over Collins and Dampier). Other than that, something resembling this year's shooter-heavy bench is OK, as long as there is a facilitator present to play T-Mac's role.

Golden couples go double to celebrate
7:00am Tuesday 11th September 2012 in News By Amanda Williams
Buy this photo Alan and Wendy Miller and, right, Roger Tucker with wife Joyce
THEY spent the majority of their working life together, got married on the same day 50 years ago, and have now celebrated their golden wedding anniversary together.
Former Oxford city policemen Roger Tucker and Alan Miller, who both wed on September 8, 1962, even had neighbouring collar numbers, 58 and 57, respectively.
Mr Tucker, former chairman of Oxford City Police Association, and his wife Joyce, both 71, were treated to a party in Yarnton Village Hall on Saturday.
And Alan Miller and wife Wendy were comfortably seated at a neighbouring table so they could all share their big celebration together.
Mr Tucker, of Kidlington, said: "We had 90 odd guests including eight ex-police officers. It was lovely."
He joked: "I'd say we had more police in that room than there are out on beat in Oxford."
The friends married by coincidence on the same day but it has become a source of amusement for the four since.
And they made sure they were all together for the golden wedding celebration.
Mrs Tucker added: "Roger and Alan have known each other most of their working life so we thought it'd be nice."
The couple, who married at Wootton Methodist Church and have five grandchildren, put their long time together to 'give and take'.
Mr Tucker said: "When I first saw Joyce I thought she was just smashing.
"I even remember what she was wearing. It was a very pale lilac dress and beige heels.
"I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I will always remember how she looked that day."
Mrs Tucker added: "I'm impressed he remembers because he doesn't remember what he had for breakfast.
"I don't remember what he was wearing, though I thought he was very good looking.
"I think the secret to a happy marriage is just give and take.
"I think we have been together so long because we tolerate each other."

Protection against email Phishing fraud and identity theft
What is Phishing attacks?
Phishing is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be a legitimate company in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The email takes the user to a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate company already has. The website, however, is a fraud and set up only to steal the user's information. For example, 2004 saw the proliferation of a phishing scam in which users received emails supposedly from Mastercard claiming that the user's account was about to be suspended unless he clicked on the provided link and updated the contact information and credit card information from their Mastercard. Because it is relatively simple to make a website look like a legitimate organizations site by copying the HTML code, the scam counted on people being tricked into thinking they were actually being contacted by Mastercard and were subsequently going to Mastercard's site to update their account information. By spamming large groups of people, the "phisher" counted on the email being read by a percentage of people who actually had a Mastercard.
Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing or carding, is a variation on "fishing," the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempted into biting. To read more, click here.

Before my obsession into genealogy, I assumed most Americans searched for discoveries of immigrant ancestors in order to feel ownership to a distinct culture; the same ethnic traditions that the French, Scots and Germans experience.
But with years of research, I have come to realize that the cultures of Great Britain and Europe are not as "pure" as we Americans believe. They too, have had immigrants. Cultures that progressively migrate from one country to the next, melding their own traditions into a melting pot, just like in America.
I have taken you on this winded trail in order to explain my next revelation: even my French ancestors were Irish!
My family tree flourishes with Irish ancestors on several branches. And though I love the rich cultural history of my Irish ancestry, I am a lover of all things French. So, you can imagine the tingly feeling that washed over me when I found French surnames attached to my tree.
Staring at the beautiful names, I released a long sigh, glowing with the realization that I do have French blood. "I knew it!" I exclaimed. "I knew I felt French!" But as I peered at the tree, I followed my ancestor's trail of immigration from France, leading right back to where I started: Ireland.
My French ancestors were Huguenots; members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France during the 16th and 17th centuries. The French Protestants were followers of John Calvin but with years embroiled in religious wars with the French Catholics, the Huguenots eventually emigrated from France to countries such as South Africa, Germany and Scandinavia.
And yes, Ireland.
The Huguenots were a part of the plantation of Ulster; an act by Parliament to populate Ireland with protestants. And with the immigration to English speaking countries, the surnames of the French, over time, evolved into their English versions, such as in my ancestor's case: Jacques to Jack.
Feeling dismayed as I discovered my Huguenots settled in Ireland before the lineage immigrated to America, I felt my French bubble had been burst: A fleeting but lovely moment of my connection to the French culture.
But then I realized, there is still a little French in my lineage, though many generations ago and though they settled in Ireland, they most certainly passed on their French customs to their descendants. Spicing up my Irish ancestors with a taste for good art, wine and yes, snails.
So, I accept that my French ancestors immigrated to Ireland before making their way to America, adding a Frenchy savour faire to my boring fair-skinned, Anglo ancestors.
And I hold onto my dream that a touch of French culture is buried deep within my genetic core.
Au revoir et a beintot!

3 Biotech Stocks Under $5 Moving Higher
Catalyst Pharmaceutical
Catalyst Pharmaceutical (CPRX) is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of prescription drugs targeting diseases of the central nervous system, with a focus on the treatment of drug addiction and epilepsy. This stock is trading up 6.1% to 54 cents per share in recent trading.
Today's Range: $0.52-$0.55
52-Week Range: $0.37-$2.27Volume: 219,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 884,200 From a technical perspective, CPRX is bouncing higher here right off its 50-day moving average of 50 cents per share. This move is quickly pushing shares of CPRX within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if CPRX manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at 58 cents to 60 cents with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CPRX as long as it's trending above its 50-day at 50 cents per share and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 884,200 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CPRX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels which is the gap down day high from last November at 69 cents per share. Any high-volume move above 69 cents per share will then give CPRX a chance to re-fill some of that previous gap down zone that started at $1.50. Synthetic Biologics Synthetic Biologics (SYN) is a biotechnology company focused on the development of synthetic DNA-based therapeutics and innovative disease-modifying medicines for serious illnesses. This stock is trading up 2.1% to $1.90 in recent trading. Today's Range: $1.85-$2.00 52-Week Range: $1.46-$2.95 Volume: 212,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 57,716 From a technical perspective, SYN is bouncing modestly higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $1.80 with heavy upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $1.51 to its recent high of $2. During that move, shares of SYN have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move is now quickly pushing shares of SYN within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade, which will hit if SYN manages to take out its 200-day at $1.96 and then once it clears more resistance levels at $1.99 to $2 and then $2.12 with high volume.

If you haven't had a good night's sleep since your baby was born, you're not alone. Sleepless nights are a rite of passage for most new parents — but don't despair. You can help your baby sleep all night. Honestly!
Newborns sleep 16 or more hours a day, but often in stretches of just a few hours at a time. Although the pattern might be erratic at first, a more consistent sleep schedule will emerge as your baby matures and can go longer between feedings.
By age 3 months, many babies sleep at least five hours at a time. By age 6 months, nighttime stretches of nine to 12 hours are possible.
For the first few months, middle-of-the-night feedings are sure to disrupt sleep for parents and babies alike — but it's never too soon to help your baby become a good sleeper. Consider these tips:
Getting your baby to sleep through the night is a worthy goal, but it's not a measure of your parenting skills. Take time to understand your baby's habits and ways of communicating so that you can help him or her become a better sleeper. If you continue to have concerns, consult your baby's doctor for additional suggestions.

Wellll... there's a LOT of shade in our new yard, so we kept the containers for the rest of this summer and moved them around while we evaluated where we'd like to place the spring garden. Looking for suggestions for fall/winter containers! :)

@CJStAugustine... yes, our cats do get at our seedlings. In fact, we had to start pepper seeds three times because as soon as they got leaves, the cats ate them. We ended up putting most pots on a high windowsill or on top of the refrigerator.

Congrats on being named Farmer of the Day! Happy Gardening!

Do your cats bother the plants/seedlings? Our one cat used to hide in our first raised garden bed after it was established. We have a larger garden now and fence it off, but one kitten climbs over the fence but doesnt bother anything. He likes to be in there when we are and watch the chickens on the other side of the fence.

A woman convicted of stealing thousands of dollars from a toy charity won't be serving jail time.
Instead, she was ordered to pay $35,000 to be spent on needy children for the holidays.
Martha Springer, 64, is the former operator of the Perry County charity, 'Tips for Tots', which gives Christmas gifts to underprivileged children.
She was convicted of a fourth degree felony charge of embezzlement, in which she funded a gambling addiction. Perry County Common Pleas Judge James Luce ordered money be paid in restitution instead of a full conviction.
Attorneys prosecuting the case for the Attorney General's Office wanted Springer to receive a full conviction, as well as restitution payments.
"To steal donations meant for children at Christmas is simply disgusting," said Ohio Attorney General, Mike DeWine. "Even though the judge presiding over the case chose to grant intervention in lieu of conviction, we are pleased that he has agreed to direct this money back to kids in need this holiday season."
A five-person board with representatives from different community organizations will decide specifically how the money will be spent, with a portion to be used this holiday season.
Springer will be under court supervision for at least one year and also has to complete community service hours.
Tips for Tots is no longer in operation.

Delfina's Broccoli Rabe Pizza
Thomas J. Story
Time: About 2 hours, plus rising time. This is the best home pizza dough we've ever tried—smooth, supple, and easy to work with. You can use regular flour, but for a truly awesome, springy-yet-crunchy crust, go for high-protein Italian "00" (finely milled) flour. Weigh the flour for best results.
Yield: Makes 3 pizzas (12 in. each; 24 slices), plus dough for 3 more pizzas

- Dough
- 1 teaspoon (slightly rounded) fresh yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 30 ounces (about 6 cups)
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt**
- Broccoli Rabe Topping
- 10 ounce fresh mozzarella packed in liquid
- 1/3 cup liquid from mozzarella container
- 1/4 cup packed coarsely shredded caciocavallo or parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 pound broccoli rabe (about 1 large bunch)
- 2 garlic cloves, well smashed
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- About 1/4 tsp. red chile flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup black olives (oil-cured or Gaeta, soaked in water and drained if very salty), pitted and torn in half
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- 1. Make dough: Put yeast, oil, and 2 cups plus 1 tbsp. cold tap water in bowl of a stand mixer and mix, using dough hook, on lowest speed, 5 minutes or until yeast has completely dissolved. Add flour and mix another 8 minutes.
- 2. Cover bowl loosely with a dampened towel and let dough rise 20 minutes.
- 3. Add salt and mix on low speed until incorporated and dissolved, about 7 minutes.
- 4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion with a circular pressing motion into a tight ball. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet.
- 5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at least 4 hours at warm room temperature. Dough balls have risen properly when they are soft, pillowy, and full of air.
- 6. Heat a pizza stone or baking sheet on lowest rack of oven at 550° (or as high as oven will go), at least 30 minutes.
- 7. Make toppings: With flat side of a chef's knife, mash a third of mozzarella until pulverized. Dice remaining mozzarella into 1/2-in. cubes. In a medium bowl, mix both mozzarellas with mozzarella liquid, caciocavallo, cream, and buttermilk. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt.
- 8. Cut broccoli rabe into 1-in. sections, discarding tough lower stems.
- 9. In a large frying pan over very low heat, cook garlic in oil, stirring often, until it starts to turn transparent, about 5 minutes. Add chile flakes and toast for a second, then add broccoli rabe. Stir in remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and several grinds of pepper.
- 10. Crank heat to medium-high and cook broccoli rabe, stirring, until liquid starts to evaporate and broccoli rabe is tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes (don't cook it to mush). If liquid is gone and broccoli rabe is still too crunchy, add water in 1/4-cup increments and cook until tender-crisp.
- 11. Working with 1 dough ball at a time (keep the rest tightly covered), set on a well-floured pizza peel or baking sheet. To stretch into an 11- to 12-in. circle, first tap down center of ball with your fingertips to gently deflate it. Next, push it outward from the center with your fingertips. Then pick up the dough circle and, holding it under the rim, turn it like a steering wheel, letting the gravity of the dough help it stretch. Drape the dough over the backs of your hands and gently stretch outward, rotating periodically. Flop the stretched dough down onto the pizza peel.
- 12. Spread about 2/3 cup cheese mixture evenly over dough. Top with 1/2 cup broccoli rabe, a generous pinch chile flakes, and 2 tbsp. olives. Give peel a good shake every few seconds to keep dough from sticking.
- 13. Plant tip of pizza peel (or long edge of baking sheet) on pizza stone and shove pizza quickly onto stone (or preheated sheet). Bake 5 to 6 minutes, or until puffy and browned. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Repeat with 2 dough balls and toppings (top remaining 3 differently or freeze).
- Make ahead: Form dough into balls (through step 4) and chill overnight, tightly covered with plastic wrap, instead of letting rise on counter (it will rise slowly in the fridge). You can also freeze dough for up to 2 weeks; let chilled or frozen dough come to room temperature before stretching. Make cheese topping and broccoli rabe topping up to 1 day ahead and chill, covered.
- *Find at well-stocked grocery stores and Italian markets.
- **While Delfina uses 3 tbsp. of kosher salt, in our tests 1 1/2 tbsp. kosher salt also delivered a well-seasoned crust. If you're concerned about sodium intake, you can successfully use the lower amount.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per slice.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Two convicted murderers who were mistakenly freed from prison with forged papers are back in the Florida county where they committed their crimes.
Charles Walker and Joseph Jenkins were processed into the Orange County Jail in Orlando on Tuesday.
Jail spokesman Allen Moore says they will be in maximum security in two separate locations in the jail.
The escaped inmates were caught Saturday in a Panama City motel, just weeks after they walked out of a Panhandle prison.
Investigators are looking into how the forged documents got into the court system. Authorities say they are looking at several suspects, but have so far made no arrests.

Filmmakers to Frame the Digital Age at Academy Event
Beverly Hills, CA (May 19, 2011) - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will explore "Cinematography in the Digital Age" on Tuesday, May 24, at 8 p.m. at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Hosted by Short Films and Feature Animation Branch governor Bill Kroyer, the program will include onstage conversations with cinematographers and other filmmaking professionals on the challenges and opportunities brought by evolving technologies.

The program will also include recorded remarks from 2010's Oscar winner for Cinematography, Wally Pfister ("Inception").

It was only four days ago that we caught wind of a new record set by the Lexus LFA Nürburgring-Edition and now we have confirmation of the wondrous feat. The LFA Nurburgring has lapped the famous Nurburgring in only 7 minutes and 14 seconds , just one year after Lexus' longtime Chief Test Driver, Hiromu Naruse, died while test driving this very same car a short distance from the Nurburgring.
This new record was achieved at the hands of Akira Iida using the Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires that come standard with the LFA Nurburgring Edition. The 7:14 time beats out the competition provided by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (7:18), the Corvette ZR1 (7:19.63), and the Dodge Viper ACR (7:22.1).
Mr. Dr. Schmidt , the COO of the Nürburgring Automotive GmbH stated "'For us, it is always very special when a car is developed to meet the needs of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. It shows us that the Nordschleife still is of particular importance for the automotive industry and that it still radiates a tremendous fascination. Lexus met the challenge Nordschleife by developing the Lexus LFA Nurburgring package."
"The lap time driven demonstrates impressively that Lexus have done an excellent job in matching the challenges of the track with the needs of an exclusive sports car. This is an outstanding result for Lexus and a reassurance of the excellent work done. We are very delighted by this."

Experienced staff at Quick Tone Fitness & Tanning Center takes over solar duties with a variety of services to bronze skin. During spray-tanning sessions, specialists cloak physiques in even coats of paraben- and perfume-free Sun FX potions brewed from purified water and natural ingredients. Sun FX tanning solutions react with the amino acids in skin to leave a tan with the even gold hue of King Midas' stress ball. In traditional UV-tanning sessions, guests may swaddle complexions within Level 3 beds or high-intensity Level 6 beds with 360 degrees of glowing rays. Patrons gain evening access to Quick Tone Fitness & Tanning Center, which requires only a personal security code that doubles as a Morse-code theme song.
Founder Todd Beckman opened the first Tan Company location, then called The St. Louis Tan Company, in 1994 with a pair of average-size sun retreats. After perfecting a superstore concept with multiple levels of tanning beds and an intrepid-reporter alter ego, Beckman's bronzing business now spans 53 locations in 8 states, including 39 locations in the St. Louis area. Todd ensures each salon keeps the same high standards that won the 2010 award for Best Tanning in St. Louis from CityVoter.
A knowledgeable staff maintains each bright, highly sanitized environment and stocks shelves with Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty, and Designer Skin tanning products. The Tan Company also fashions UV-free tans with Mystic Tan standup booths that evenly spritz bodies with a paraben-free DHA solution infused with aloe vera.
Xtreme Tan's staff members call on their Smart Tan training—a program that instills professional savvy in sunburn prevention and correct UV dosage—to guide clients toward the right path to achieving a bronzed beach glow. After becoming acquainted with customers, the specialists carefully educate them on the salon's offering of UV beds, airbrush-tanning methods, and a selection of lotions that deepen and prolong golden skin tones. The walk-in salon houses four levels of UV beds, each of which is stocked with high-efficiency bulbs that offer clients an indoor tan without having to fight the cat for a sunny spot by the window. Tanners can also forgo UV beams altogether with the salon's airbrush-tanning service, which dispatches a trained staffer to mist individual curves with a pigmented spray that leaves skin bronze and glowing for up to 14 days.
Technicians at Shine Sunless Tanning help clients darken epidermises evenly with a customized plant-based mist in VersaSpa sunless-tanning booths. The tans are so effective that in 2011, Shine was named the official tanning provider of the St. Louis Rams cheerleaders. Inside each private booth, automated airbrushes apply even coats of a pigmented formula to the skin, which is automatically blown dry. The enclosed environment diminishes the orange or yellow tinge traditionally associated with spray tanning since it controls some environmental factors such as temperature, light exposure, and percentage of orange zest added to the air. Clients get to choose which shade of tanning formula will be used during their session, as well as whether they'd like to cap off their session with an anti-aging mist.
When the new owners of Shear Style Salon took over in early 2012, they transformed the hair and nail salon into a full-service beauty emporium. Though sleek styling services and mani-pedis continue to anchor the menu, the spa's team of aestheticians now tends to skin across the body with luxurious facials and scrubs.
Pacific Beach's Beauty Angel treatment pairs beautification and physique sculpting in a series of 10-minute sessions combining light therapy, vibration, and platform-based exercise. Within the stand-up booth, clients bask in a safe red light that works to reawaken the body's collagen and elastin factories, disentangling wrinkles around the eyes and firming skin across the entire physique. The booth sports a vibrating platform designed to help break down cellulite and further stimulate epidermal collagen production. The vibrating motion also facilitates muscle toning and recovery by relaxing fibers. After seven daily sessions over one week, wrinkles may begin to diminish, cellulite may begin fade, and skin may begin smooth out, negating the need to seek eternal youth in every municipal fountain.

I've been told that I resemble flakes of dried cactus. I enjoy simmering in sacks of protein-enriched jelly and find bricks to be very troubling.

Having recently played Trine, which I bought for 30 bucks (Australian) as part of the Humble FrozenByte Bundle, I was blown away by the amount of polish! It was intense! I've recently pre-ordered Overgrowth, which I highly recommend, and have been following the unofficial weekly alpha releases since a130 (which as of today, is up to a138).
Indie is awesome. Mods are awesome. Mods and Indie are refloptacally raptorlicious - and you can take that to the bank and smoke it.

"Not only saddening but irresponsible": an open letter from Oxford Brookes law students
Readers' comments (17)
This is a completely unfair on the students who have sacrificed their time and money to study at Brookes, in good faith that at the very least they would be taught for the duration of their course. Has the university even followed it's own guidelines for the 'phasing out' of courses? I doubt it. Have they considered proposals by the faculty to make the 'business considerations' regarding the LPC feasible? Apparently not. It's utterly disgusting and disappointing that an institution that alleges to pride itself on it's reputation should behave like this, leaving staff and students with no certainty regarding their futures. Heads should roll.
Oxford Brookes have commented that this decision was based on the fact "Applications have declined by over 50% in the last five years" (http://l2b.thelawyer.com/oxford-brookes-responds-to-lpc-closure-criticism/3002159.article). That might have something to do with OXILP severing its ties with Oxford University and several firms.
I'm not greatly surprised at their apparent failure to consider those studying part time for the LPC. I studied the LPC at OXILP part time and it was made abundantly clear to those of us that did, that part time students were given second class treatment, (for example seminars set before lectures on the topics had been held, Lectures failing to turn up to take classes, facilities [principally the library] not be open during study weekends ...).
I'm disappointed but unfortunately this announcement fits with the profile of the Oxford Brookes as I (and no doubt others) experienced.
Have the posters seen the contract? Surely OB have covered this in the small print?
This action is unworthy of all those involved. It is a clear breach of contract and wholly unnecessary. If Oxford Brookes cared a jot about its students it could find a way to wind the course down while allowing those currently enrolled to complete their studies. Instead they have left decent committed hard-working students in the lurch without the slightest regard for the consequences on their finances or their lives. Shame on you, Oxford Brookes. Of course, if you have any morality left, there is still time to change your decision.
Get some experiance in business while at uni, set up a business e.g promote disco nights etc.
Do a accountancy and joint law degree, it will keep options open.
Do work experience for firms during summer holidays
I studied on this course 20 years ago with great benefit, and I am appalled at the incompetence of those who should be able to plan the university's finances for several years in advance. I hope that they will refund all students who may be unable to complete the course elsewhere due to the university's combination of harshness and irresponsibility. If they do not offer these refunds then I hope that these students will successfully recover their fees via a court process. Some will have their career plans terminated for good.
