I'm not one who's big on naming children after professional athletes.
New parents Jon Paul and Crystal Dennison first met when both were waiting tables at AT&T Center during San Antonio Spurs games, so when they learned that Dennison was pregnant with twin boys, an idea for names for the two boys came to them quite readily: both felt it appropriate to keep in mind the circumstances that brought them together. So, last Friday, when their identical twins came into this world, they had names for the boys all set: Duncan and Parker.
Via KENS-5 San Antonio (via TBJ):
"It kind of started off as a joke," the proud father explained. "We said it at lunch one day and everybody laughed. And then we got to thinking that we really actually liked the names a whole lot. They're really cool names."
They're only five days old, and already sporting the colors. Number 9 and number 21 are ready for action.
Mom and Dad hope these boys are good teammates like the other Duncan and Parker, sharing victories and providing assists.
"They could both be superstars on their own," Jon Paul said of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, "but they work as a team so well."
"Once they grow older and Dad gets a little more influence, we'll be painting the walls silver and black," the boys' mother added.
Obviously, it's fortunate that the two predominant stars of the franchise have relatively normal last names that are commonly used as first names as well. Meanwhile, Manu Ginobili and Gregg Popovich dejectedly sit, holding out hope that some free-spirited San Antonio couple takes a chance and decides to name their twins as an homage to their surnames. Sadly, it could be a long wait.
I'm not one who's big on naming children after professional athletes.
We also named our son after a basketball star. We love the Celtics and our first date was to a celtics game so we named our son Rajon because the name just grew on us as he grew in my belly. I think it was a great idea!!
II thought of naming my first child Rajon it just sounds like a good name
Why didn't they name them Tim and Tony instead it would've sounded so much better
Duncan and Parker are WAY cooler than Tim and Tony!

Today, Cam and Jimmy reunited at Converse's Band Of Ballers tournament in Atlanta. With talks of a Diplomat reunion album, this is the first time in years the two have been publicly seen together. Yeah, I like it! Joe & Angela UPDATE: Up close and personal shot courtesy of Thaddaeus McAdams. UPDATE 2: The title stays in Harlem.
Tag: angela yee
What'd we have here? A new one from my nigga Jay Elect. Finally! Produced by Quincey Tones. The bars are still razor sharp and Sean talks a lot of shit on this one. B.I.G. would be proud. UPDATE: Jay Elect speaks on the record to Angela Yee. UPDATE 2: The song isn't finished. More to come. UPDATE 3: Is this thing mixed?
Em phoned into his radio station this morning and spoke with Angela Yee about his new single "Not Afraid" and new album, Recovery. June 22nd, y'all. Part 1: Em speaks on becoming artist of the decade, trashed songs, and reveals that Havoc's production is featured on Recovery too. Part 2: Debuts "Not Afraid" Part 3: Speaks on B.o.B's "Airplanes 2", Detroit Lions, and no skits on Recovery.
Last month, we broke the news that Jim Jones was set to teach a music course at a New York City public high school. Phoning into the Morning After With Angela Yee, Jimmy said he's been cleared by the Board of Education and spoke on the logistics of the course.
Plies appeared on Shade 45′s Morning After With Angela Yee this past Tuesday. At the 2:24 marker, Plies takes a listener's call and addresses dances around the rumor that he was valedictorian of his high school. Even if he were the top seed of his class, what's the big deal? Is there something wrong with, dare I say it, being smart? Personally, I'd rather lie about being a doctor than a cartel kingpin. YK2 via Team Yee
When Noreaga appeared on the Morning After With Angela Yee last week, he recounted throwing up on Cam'Ron while performing at famed NY club, The Tunnel. That's just sick!
In the new Disney chick flick, When In Rome starring Kristen Bell, Ghost gets his shine on as a party DJ. In a recent interview with Angela Yee on Shade 45, Starks discusses his role in the film.

Our lucky sons will one day marry women who no longer care if they listen
By now, I imagine most of you have seen the awesome footage of those teenage girls beating the stuffing out of each other. Apparently, girl fistfights are the latest craze. I thought it was Justin Bieber, but apparently his androgynous good looks have sent spasms of confusion into the female teen population. Not understanding their feelings, these young women have resorted to beating each other into bloody sacks of procreating meat. Any teen who's anyone is knocking another girl's teeth down her throat. I'm sure some people are horrified. Some might even think this is all a plot by the cosmetics industry to increase the number of black eyes that must be crusted over with foundation. But anyone who is horrified by these videos is sexist. Boys have been settling problems with their fists for years. It's about time women also stopped thinking, and started punching.
How to make sure your child doesn't write you off
When I was eight years old, I suddenly realized my parents were idiots. It wasn't until years later that I realized I'd confused being dumb for disagreeing with me. It's interesting how an eight year old would consider her parents stupid for failing to see her side on an issue. Yet, if a parent were to actually agree with an eight year old that it's okay to watch a certain TV show, or that Sundays are best spent congregating with friends at the local park playing football, that parent could be viewed by other parents as being a numbskull.
The crazy thing is that Charlie's such a committed dad, he supports their efforts
Just in case there weren't enough lawsuits flying around the beleaguered former star of Two and a Half Men, Thursday afternoon a class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of Charlie Sheen's five kids, accusing him of failing to stay employed. The lawsuit claims that their dad breached his fatherly duties, and damaged his ability to provide them the quality of life to which they've grown accustomed. The amount they're suing for wasn't disclosed, but it's reported that each kid is requesting "enough money to eat Chipotle three meals a day, and to never have to do anything."
Your kid will not have a teen pregnancy because she pretended to nurse a chunk of plastic when she was six
When I started to notice that the good old breastfeeding doll was rearing its suckling head back in the news this week, I actually felt quite relieved. It's a good news week when our greatest concern isn't a nuclear meltdown, or fighting in the Middle East, but rather a weird new toy.
Although, this toy is not new, and this story is not news. This doll has existed for years. In fact, I wrote this piece about its imminent threat to our children over a year ago.
Love means never having to say you're solvent
When I was a kid, birthdays were modest affairs. My parents' friends would bring over their kids of roughly the same age, and together we'd eat cake, open presents, throw temper tantrums, and call it a day.
But that was in the olden days when parents weren't judged by the grotesque lavishness of a toddler's birthday party. As my twin sons approach their third birthdays, I've been preparing for the festivities by refinancing my home, selling our silverware on eBay, taking in the neighbors wash, mowing lawns, and cruising the beach with a metal detector. I'm going to do it right!
Yes, your child is beautiful—like I mentioned four photos ago
I must admit that I'm a compulsive picture-shower. Most people who meet me won't have to wait long before an adorable photo of my little ones is shoved their face. It's just too easy. My sons' picture is the home screen of my BlackBerry. I don't even have to dig into a file. With me it's, "Bam! Here's the cutest thing you've ever seen." The person looks at the photo and then returns volley with the customary, "So cute!" If that person then whips out a picture of her kids, I'll in turn reply "They are so adorable, wow, so beautiful, they're precious." And the ritual is complete.
Snooki has a mom…think about that
There are many things that a parent might fear her child growing up and becoming: a drug addict, an English major, a speed dating aficionado. But these days there might be no scarier thought for a parent than the threat of her child being the next Snooki, or one of the babes from The Bachelor. The only thing worse than a child not having any talent is becoming famous enough to showcase his or her stunning lack of ability.
How to protect your children from the rare occurrence of a grandparent's dislike
When I was growing up, I had a friend who said his grandmother didn't like him. I thought this was impossible. I always thought grandmothers were the raisins of love, with all of life's imperfections dried away until they were just pure sweetness. My grandmother seemed to love me more than life itself. It was as though I could do no wrong. If I were to throw a toy, she'd be more impressed with my arm strength than would she have any desire to discipline me. She would yell at and berate my mom, but when it came to interacting with her grandchildren, she was the sweetest human being on the planet.
But I went over to this friend's house one day while the grandmother was visiting, and sure enough, she didn't like him. It blew my mind.

Before his training can begin, Jerry will have to help some of the townsfolk with their problems.

Playing in Other Worlds – In Defence of Fan-fiction
I hereby give readers license to point at me, laugh, and yell "NERD!" in public.
In the last couple years I've made a massive leap into geekdom. Part of this comes from exploring potential markets and different ways to get words down on a page. The scary admission is as someone who's attempting to build a career writing fiction, I'll admit I've dumped a fair chunk of time writing fan-fiction.
Now I've heard fellow creative writing, journalism, and English lit students and grads sneer at the practice of writing fan fiction. And in some ways they're right to sneer. Fan-fiction is often poorly written, full of Mary-Sue-dom, and derivative of the work on which it is based. However, there are some professional applications.

IGDA Faces Public Resignations After GDC Party Controversy
Yet again, it seems like the video game industry's taken slow step forward and two quick hops back when it comes to equality in the work place. And this time, it led to the IGDA facing public resignations of a number of their prominent industry members.
This week many game industry professionals and hopefuls are attending the largest video game professional focused event in the world: Game Developers Conference. This event, better known as GDC, features panels, workshops, networking events and in the evenings, industry sponsored parties.
Last night at the International Game Developers Association event sponsored by YetiZen, a company specializing in funding social and mobile game development, attendees were treated to more than just food and alcohol, but also scantily clad dancers.

Retro Gaming – When Old is New and Cool
Not everything is high-rez in the gaming world. Sometimes you just have to get back to basics.
When better-known characters such as Mario and Sonic moved on to 3D titles, a sizable portion of the gaming audience did not move with them. These retro gamers instead focused on a dwindling number of new releases that appealed to their tastes. Now, the 16-bit stylings of yesteryear are back and they're big.
Retro gaming has made quite the splash in film this year. Disney's winter hit, Wreck-It Ralph has been filling seats with gamers of all generations. The film follows a Donkey Kong-like bad-guy-who-wants-to-be-a-good-guy who leaves his arcade machine in search of a way to fulfill his dreams. Throughout the film younger viewers are introduced to gaming legends like Q*bert and Tapper alongside better known characters like Pac Man and Street Fighter's Zangief. Wreck-It Ralph manages to cram more pop-culture gaming references and cameos into an hour and 40 minutes than most gaming conventions can over a weekend. Read the rest of this entry
SteelSeries Flux Luxury Edition Headset Review
Disclaimer: SteelSeries has provided JTM Games with one Luxury Edition Flux gaming headset for review.
For the last month I've been testing the SteelSeries Flux Luxury Edition headset, using it for gaming and audio on the PC and my on-the-go gaming. I'm pretty rough on my gear; in this case throwing the headset in bookbags, tossing it on tables and (occasionally) across the room. So far I've been pretty impressed with the design, durability and sound.

Primordia Review
When I wrote earlier previewing Primordia, I said Christmas was coming early for fans of the classic adventure game genre. After playing through the complete version, I can comfortably repeat that. With emphasis.
We join our hero Horatio, a robotic hermit living in the wastes. He and his floating companion Crispin, who functions as the witty sidekick and (sometimes) helpful hint system, eke out a living scrounging junk. Their home is attacked and power source stolen, forcing Horatio to come back into the world. As Horatio pursues his missing power source, he learns about the missing race of man, his past, and the wars that swept civilization from most of the planet.

|Goal attained!
I'm an admitted Nike addict. And a tech-junkie to boot. So a Nike gadget? You bet I had to get my hands on a Nike FuelBand!
I managed to get my FuelBand about three weeks ago. And while I knew I wanted to put together a review, I also wanted to give it a sufficient 'go' before I jumped to any conclusions. Three weeks is plenty of time to form an objective opinion, don't you think?
First, a quick rundown of Nike's history in the tech biz, and the FuelBand's predecessors. (If you're here solely for the FuelBand, scroll down a few paragraphs!)
Nike+ iPod
Nike started their journey into the tech biz when they joined forces with Apple several years back to develop Nike+ iPod. I was a beginning runner then, but quickly became a Nike+ participant. It consisted of an oval shaped sensor you put in the sole of your running (or walking) shoe, along with a small receiver that you plugged into your iPod Nano (at the time, Nike+ iPod was only compatible with the Nano. But now it is available for every iPod model).
|Nike+ iPod
It was a simple way to track results, and turn your workouts into a game. If you needed a little extra incentive to get out there and run, or run a little faster, Nike+ iPod was there to provide some motivation.
It wasn't super high-tech by today's standards (this was released in the early 2000s, after all), but Nike was still working out the kinks, and working towards a larger goal.
Nike+ Sportwatch GPS
Last year, Nike got into the GPS watch business with their Nike+ Sportwatch GPS. Powered by TomTom, the Nike Sportwatch tracks your location, time, pace, distance, and calories burned. Just like with the Nike+ iPod, you sync the Sportwatch to your computer (via USB port, or wirelessly) to upload all your information to Nike Plus.
|Nike+ Sportwatch GPS
As an avid runner, I love the Sportwatch. I believe it has made me run faster, farther, and more often. And the watch isn't bad looking either. Many times, GPS watches are big and bulky, and you never want to wear them. But the Nike+ GPS Sportwatch has a nice design (not to mention fun colors)!
Nike FuelBand
|The first FuelBand?
But let's start with the obvious: it's cool. Who doesn't want to wear a digital wristband, complete with 20 LED lights and a matrix display?
To be honest, when I first saw the FuelBand, I immediately thought of Star Wars and the Ewok Adventure movies from my childhood. In my eyes, their life monitor bracelets were the first FuelBands.
The FuelBand is meant to be worn throughout the day. No matter if you're working out or not. The digital bracelet simply tracks your physical activity and movement on a daily basis.
It tracks: Fuel points earned, calories burned, steps taken, and also serves as a watch.
|My all-time high. So far.
They are equal for everyone, and have no correlation to calories burned (if the same 135 and 190 pound people walk 20 minutes, they will earn the same amount of Nike Fuel points).
This allows for fair competition between friends, colleagues, family members, and teammates. Who can earn the most Fuel points per day? The FuelBand measures how much you move. Period.
Or how much your arm moves. My biggest complaint with the FuelBand, is that it only registers movement when the arm you're wearing it on moves. Obviously, when you walk or run, your arms naturally move in unison with your legs.
But say you're on a stair-machine, or riding a bike. Unless you put it around your ankle, the FuelBand will not register any movement, even though you are clearly moving.
|Mid-day Fuel check.
In a perfect world (or maybe the next release), there would be an ankle spacer as well. Since I know many of us partake in spin classes, bike rides, workouts on the stair-stepper, and other lower-body based activities, having a way to easily attach it to your leg would increase the accuracy of the FuelBand.
My second complaint is that there seems to be no value for intensity. Running and walking for an hour gets you relatively the same amount of Fuel points. And similarly, I wore my FuelBand for an hour and 15 minute long shooting (basketball) workout, and got more points than I did when I played pickup for the same amount of time.
Like the iPod sensor and the Sportwatch, the FuelBand, easily syncs to your computer. Using the same account on Nikeplus.com, you're able to track your daily progress. It's here where you personalize your FuelBand and set your daily Fuel goal.
At the end of each day, plug the FuelBand into your computer and watch your results pop up right in front of you (or wirelessly, via an app). Syncing to a computer also recharges the FuelBand (it usually only needs 20-30 minutes to fully recharge).
The Payoff
The FuelBand doesn't lie. If you've sat at your desk, or in front of the TV for too long, the FuelBand will tell you that it's time to move. It won't literally tell you, but on several occasions, I've been enjoying an easy morning, only to check my FuelBand and see a measly 200 Fuel points. That means it's time to go!
Also, on one or two occasions, I've found myself doing jumping jacks at 11 o'clock at night because I'm a few hundred points short of my Fuel goal. The FuelBand gets you moving, that's for sure.
It's fun because it makes being active, and being mobile, a game. We all love competing, so whether it's competing against your previous best, or against your best friend, the FuelBand will get you moving!
In our society, where we seem to need a little extra push to get moving, I think the FuelBand is an excellent motivator, and actually, a reality check as well!
If you don't need motivation to move, maybe the FuelBand isn't for you. But if you're active, and want to see your results displayed in front of you, or seek extra competition; or you're inactive, and trying to move those legs a little bit more, then I think the FuelBand is a great investment ($149).
(Two side notes: 1) If you're deciding between the GPS Sportwatch, and a FuelBand, and you're a runner, go with the Sportwatch, hands down. Having the GPS capabilities is an incredible tool for runners. And the Nike Plus software is an added bonus! 2) It is not recommended to swim or shower with your FuelBand on. It is water resistant, not water proof.)

Manchester police: Jerry's excitable, but still a great horse for sale
Mounted Manchester police officer Scott Tardiff pets Jerry at the police stables in Manchester last week. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Last week, the aldermen voted to allow the Manchester Police Department to move forward with selling Jerry, the 6-year-old gelding it purchased last August.
Jerry proved to be a little too excitable.
"There was the incident when he threw a rider at Veterans Park, but he also has not been responsive in the training ring," said Capt. Richard Reilly, who heads the department's Community Policing Division, of which the Mounted Unit is a part. "We can't have a horse so youthful and energetic. The safety of the officer and the public is paramount to all else."
Jerry will remain at the stables of the city's Youth Development Center on North River Road until a new home is found.
The departure of Jerry leaves only one horse in the Mounted Unit, Valor, who is 12.
Reilly said the department will be looking for a more seasoned horse like Valor.
"He's as calm and docile as can be. That's what we want, a horse that is responsive to the rider," he said.
So who would buy a rejected police horse?
Reilly said Jerry is a great horse, that he just has too much personality for police work.
"The horse has value in other forms, perhaps more in a pulling capacity rather than riding," he said.
Reilly said there's a "whole horse network" that he'll reach out to.
It appears police will move forward with purchasing a new horse sooner rather than later. In a request to the aldermen, Reilly wrote that the department intends to "purchase a new mount in the immediate future with the donated funds that remain in the account in combination with the proceeds generated by the sale of Jerry."
The department had purchased Jerry from a couple in Maine for $4,000 last August. He had passed a 30-day trial period.
The aldermen approved the police request without discussion last Tuesday.
In the past, the Mounted Unit has been a more controversial subject amid budget woes. In 2011, Mayor Ted Gatsas suggested that police no longer use the animals because of the expense associated with their upkeep and transport.
Most of the money for the program comes from an independent foundation established in 2004.

With the rise of evil must come the rise of good too, because only good can defeat the evil for the world to prosper in peace, again. Welcome to the province of Skyrim, a land that lies in turmoil. You must rise as the hero that Skyrim needs and defeat the evil lord in the latest game in the Elder Scroll series- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
The 5th instalment in the The Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim is for hard-core gamers who love to spend hours exploring nature, hidden treasures and mysteries in a fantasy world. The action role-playing game has an open world environment that lets you explore the game in the way you want. Breaking from the confines of a level-based gameplay, Skyrim offers many noteworthy improvements from its predecessors. Available for the PC platform, Skyrim has a Mature rating from ESRB.
Synopsis and Features
The story of Skyrim is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion. The High King of Skyrim has been killed and the empire of Tamriel is in tatters. Everyone who is in power wants to become the next king of Tamriel, but in the midst of all this lies a deep dark secret that threatens to destroy the peace of Skyrim. Everyone is waiting for the prophesized return of the Dragonborn; one who has the power of The Voice, and the only one who can defeat the dragons.
Developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks, Skyrim adds in an array of different gameplay elements that make it unique. The minimum requirements for the game to run smoothly on your computer are Windows XP or Windows 7, 2 GHz dual-core Intel or AMD quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 15 GB disk space, any 512 MB RAM equipped graphics card.
The game starts with you exploring the land of Skyrim that is home to the Nord race. You can pick your character from 10 different races on offer. You can travel on foot or use horses to travel places. Quests are assigned by different characters in the game which upon completion earn you points and respect.
The elements in Skyrim are unique as your each interaction and how you solve a quest can give rise to new characters and objectives. You can even join factions, who have their own quests to accomplish, leading to long hours of gameplay.
The quests in the game can be anything from a simple forging event to even slaying of hostile animals that include dragons. Killing a dragon is huge and difficult task, but if done is very rewarding for your skill and experience points. A dragon kill can also earn you a powerful spell. These spells activate a new system in the game called the Shout system that equips you with magical abilities. These could be anything from casting a spell for slowing of time, throwing your voice, changing the weather to calling in allies and more.
18 skills are available on which you can improve your character's strengths. This includes combat, magic and stealth. You can use different spells in the game like magicka: for destruction, conjuration: for summoning giants and alteration: for lighting up roads and so on. The game allows wielding of dual spells. This is helpful as you can wield 2 spells in one hand and destroy everything that obstructs your quest to discovery. You can even dual-wield one handed weapons.
The game allows you to pick locks, make potions and if you like sneaking around stealthily in the dark, you can even indulge in vampirism. Exploring is a joy in Skyrim as you get to explore a plethora of dungeons and new arenas. The graphics are spectacular and visually appealing in every segment of the game.
Skyrim has a great soundtrack that draws you in each time you play the game. Each track is different as seamlessly syncs with the gameplay elements to provide you with a memorable gaming experience. The game has several patches which can be downloaded through the internet from the company's website.

The Elder Scrolls V : Skryim, probably one of the most anticipated titles this year and a fierce competitor for game of the year.
But, this game has been "out of stock" since the day of its official release (11/11/11) at least in India - No not because people have been flocking in front of the stores and sweeping copies off the shelves but due to the fact that the dealers for this game have messed up big time. Apparently each store has been given around 2-3 copies of this game and asked them to be Jesus and multiply it for the millions of RPG fans in this country.

The day that Skyrim is unleashed on the gaming world!
TES5: Skyrim is bound to be a hot contender for Game of the Year 2011. TES3:Morrowind and TES4:Oblivion have for years been the best single-player RPG games ever made (especially on PC, due to the thousands of great mods/addons to enhance the game).
But I am wondering why Flipkart has listed the pricing of the PS3 and XBOX versions of Skyrim, but not yet the PC one? Is it because the PC game will not be available this month?
I request Flipkart to keep the PC game ready in stock (after its launch) and publicise this game prop... (Expand)
If you are an RPG fan, I am assuming you have played the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and how it made you feel when you loaded it up the first time. Right from customizing the character, everything from how wide the nostrils were, to what kind of hairdo your virtual champion was going to sport, this RPG redefined the genre. The gameplay was vast, vivid, engaging and intense! And over the years, you grew to love the game more and more till you couldn't wait for TES: V to be released!
Fast forward to November 11, 2011, Skyrim is unleashed upon the world! If you are a true aficionado of the ge... (Expand)

-I have never bought a game for more that 1699 rupees and i dont think i will ever have to. Flipkart cant keep the price at 2000 forever.

I have it on PC and PS3 and mark me - the PC version at lower cost is far more beautiful compared to PS3 version.

This is pretty fucking badass.
From style.com: Courtesy of stylist and costume designer B. Akerlund, who worked with Madonna on videos including "Celebration," "Jump," and "4 Minutes," they incorporated an Egyptian goddess' store of gold headdresses and jewels and a dash of Versace-inspired Greece. Her three looks all came courtesy of Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Haute Couture: to begin, a gold cape hand-embroidered with gold metal, studs, crystals, and lined in leopard-print chiffon; in the middle sections, a black minidress in silk cady with leopard-print cape in silk charmeuse and to close, the long black coat in silk cady with hand-embroidered sequins and micro pearls. Tisci also created her gold metal hat, also hand-embroidered with crystals, and her nappa leather gloves. In a statement, the designer said, "People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna." (Twitter seems to concur: The site reports that her performance garnered an average 8,000 tweets per second for five straight minutes.) Madonna accessorized with 19.6 carats of white gold and diamond earrings by Bulgari. Her hair was styled by Andy Lecompte and makeup by Gina Brooke.

What's your favourite MDNA Tour performance/s?
And after a long journey full of extravaganza and controversies, the most successful tour of 2012 has just come to an end in Cordoba, Argentina. We're already excited for the next masterpiece Madonna will create for us!
Renner store, which is sponsoring Madonna's upcoming show in Rio, worked with fans this morning to create the biggest fan letter in the world (with 1 kilometer length), to fly in front of Madonna's hotel.

Red Sox Report: Spring Training Week One Headlines
As the full squad workouts are underway at Fenway South, week one of spring training has not produced any huge headlines. As I stated last week Ryan Dempster would likely be moved to the bullpen, but Ryan Dempster decided he could not play in 2014. He announced such a decision last Sunday and it is believed the team knew two weeks ago. Dempster will be placed on the restricted list and will not be paid his $13 million salary for this season. Neck issues and wanting to spend time with his family are the reasons for him not playing this season.
When I think of Dempster, I think of him plunking Alex Rodriguez. His plunking of Alex Rodriguez means so much more now that he is leaving money on the table. Easily Dempster could have taken a stint on the disabled list until he deemed himself good enough to go and collected his salary. He said he has too much respect for the game and his teammates. That is refreshing to here in today's world where athletes seem to chase the money. Alex Rodriguez will of course not play in 2014 because of suspension.
With Dempster salary off the books, will the Red Sox make any moves? Well one was made yesterday in bringing in left handed pitcher Chris Capuano on a one year deal. Capuano, who pitched for the Dodgers last year, will make $2.25 million (with incentives capable of brining that to $5 million) and fill the role we thought Dempster was going to fill this year. Spot starter in the bullpen, as well as a long reliever capable of going multiple innings. You can never have enough pitching, even with the young pitchers the Red Sox have, Capuano is a good pickup as he is a veteran. A career National League pitcher, Capuano will have to make adjustments against American League lineups, but John Farrell will use him where he can be most successful.
Capuano's salary is nothing big, could the Red Sox afford to bring back Stephen Drew? According to Ben Cherington, that is not on the radar right now. He is comfortable with the infielders they have which I love hearing as Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks deserve their chance and not the thought of Stephen Drew coming in, possibly hampering their performance. Don't get me wrong, Drew is a nice player who helped the Red Sox win a World Series last season, but it is time for the kids to play and hope they collect a draft pick if Drew signs with another team before the June draft. Of course super agent Scott Boras is still holding out for a good deal for Drew but the longer he waits the less likely Drew will get what they expect his proper value.
David Ortiz came to camp on Tuesday will some less than thrilling words about hit haters. All Ortiz wants is another year tacked onto his deal. Ortiz showed up with his agent which may dictate that the team may work something out in the near future. John Henry has said he wants Ortiz to retire in a Red Sox uniform and that will likely happen. Ortiz is in the second year of a two year deal signed last offseason, which many argued why they gave him a two year deal after a 2012 season where he tore his Achilles and was not all that happy with the team. 2013 silenced his critics but apparently not enough and now he is seeking another contract. All these haters Ortiz describes I don't know exactly who they are because every media member seems to defend him, but maybe they will help his performance if he is angry. Nomar Garciaparra towards the end of his Red Sox tenure had haters and that lead to him leaving town, let's hope that is not the case for Ortiz.
Spring Training games begin next Thursday already with the annual college matchups between Northeastern and Boston College. Friday the Sox take on Ft. Myers neighbors the Minnesota Twins. The Sox are likely to start some of the prospects in those games and get the expected rotation in on the second turn through the rotation, a way of giving them extra rest after a short offseason. Hard to believe spring games are already upon us and with plenty of coverage, Red Sox fans will get to know the players who might have an unexpected impact on this upcoming season.

1. Add Numbers
Create a function addNumbers(x) that takes a number as an argument and adds all the integers between 1 and the number (inclusive) and returns the total number.
def addNumbers(num): total = 0 i = 1 while i<=num: total+=i i+=1 return total
2. Add Numbers II
Create a function addNumbers(start, end) that adds all the integers between the start and end value (inclusive) and returns the total sum.
def addNumbers(start, end): total =0 i=start while start<=end: total+=start start+=1 return total
3. Using 'break' in 'while' loop.[MCQ]
The 'break' statement can be used to terminate the 'while' loop.
[MCQ] What will be the maximum value of 'cnt'?
cnt = 0 while True: while cnt<10: cnt+=1 if cnt>10: break
** 0
** 9
** Infinity, because it goes into endless loop.
** 10
** None of the above
4. Count Pages In A Book
Create a function countPages(x) that takes the number of pages of a book as an argument and counts the number of times the digit '1′ appears in the page number.
def countPages(num): total = 0 i = 1 while i<=num: page_no = str(i) total += page_no.count('1') i+=1 return total
5. Using 'Break' In 'While' Loop.[MCQ]
The 'break' statement can be used to terminate the 'while' loop.
[MCQ] Which of the following does not produce the same output?
cnt = 0 while True: print cnt cnt+=1 if cnt>5: break
cnt = 0 while cnt<6: while cnt<6: print cnt cnt+=1
cnt = 0 while cnt<6: print cnt cnt+=1
cnt = 0 while cnt<6: print cnt if cnt==6: continue cnt+=1
** All give the same output.
6. Factorial(N)
Create a function factorial(x) that takes an integer and returns the product of all the positive integers less than or equal to n.
def factorial(num): product =1 i = num while i > 0: product *=i i-=1 return product
7. Double Factorial(N)
Create a function doubleFactorial(n) that takes an odd integer and returns the product of all odd values up to the value n (where n=2k-1).
def doubleFactorial(num): product = 1 i = 0 k = 0 while k <num: k = 2*i+1 product *= k i += 1 return product
8. Prime Numbers
Create a function that takes in a positive integer and return a list of prime numbers.
A prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself.
def primeNumbers(num): primes = [] i = 2 # iterates through range from 2 to num(inclusive) while i<=num: # add 'while' condition k = 2 isPrime = True # check if prime number while k<i : # add 'while' condition if i%k==0: isPrime = False k+=1 # update k if isPrime==True: primes.append(i) i+=1 # update i return primes
9. Square Root Approximation
Create a function that takes in a positive number and return 2 integers such that the number is between the squares of the 2 integers. It returns the same integer twice if the number is a square of an integer.
import math def sqApprox(num): i = 0 minsq =0 # set lower bound maxsq =math.ceil(num*num) # set upper bound while i<maxsq : # set 'while' termination condition if i*i<=num and i>minsq: # complete inequality condition minsq = i if i*i>=num and i<maxsq: # complete inequality condition maxsq = i i+=1 # update i so that 'while' will terminate return (minsq, maxsq)
10. Pi Approximation
Create a function that computes the approximation of pi, based on the number of iterations specified.
pi can be computed by 4*(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9- …).
def piApprox(num): i = 1 pi = 0 while i<=num: # set 'while' termination condition pi +=((4/float(2*i-1))*(-1)**(i+1)) # compute the ith term of the series i+=1 # update i return pi
11. Estimate Pi
Write a function estimatePi() to estimate and return the value of pi based on the formula found by an Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. It should use a while loop to compute the terms of the summation until the last term is smaller than 1e-15. The formula for estimating pi is given below:
import math def factorial(n): if n == 0: return 1 else: return n * factorial(n-1) def series_term(k): a=factorial(4*k) b=(1103+26390*k) c=factorial1(k) d=c**4 e=396**(4*k) return float(a*b)/(d*e) def estimatePi(): k=0 final=0 while True: term = series_term(k) final += term k+=1 if term < 1.0e-15: break f=2*math.sqrt(2)/9801 pi = 1.0/(final * f) return pi
12. Prime Factorization
Given a positive integer, write a function that computes the prime factors that can be multplied together to get back the same integer.
def primeFactorization(num): factors = [] lastresult = num # 1 is a special case if num == 1: return [] while True: if lastresult == 1: break c = 2 while True: if lastresult % c == 0: break c += 1 factors.append(c) lastresult /= c return factors
13. Lowest Common Multiple
The smallest common multiple of two or more numbers is called the lowest common multiple (LCM). Given a list of integers, find the lowest common multiple.
def LCM(nums): nums.sort() biggest=nums[-1] multiplier=1 while sum([(multiplier*biggest)%num for num in nums])!=0: multiplier+=1 return biggest*multiplier

Unlike the toolbar of the previous Mailigen template editor, the new toolbar is much more convenient and accessible. In the toolbar, tyou have all the original functionality, and many new functions.
Toolbar sections
The editor toolbar is divided into several sections according to function groups. You can move them just by clicking on the names of the sections. Each section includes a specific group of functions. The toolbar contains thefollowing sections: message, default text, text, blocks, images, options and plain text.
Picture No 2. Mailigen Drag and Drop template editor's toolbar
Toolbar section: Message
Create the message framework and set up background pictures and their sizes.
Toolbar section: Default text
Any changes made in this section will apply to the whole email template, unless you make additional formatting. Default formatting is automatically applied to all the new blocks.
Toolbar section: Text formatting
Toolkit enabling text formatting and other options related to the text.
Toolbar section: Blocks
Add new blocks as well as format the existing ones.
Toolbar section: Images
Upload and add new images to the template, as well as format images: create a frame, margins, add description.
Toolbar section: Additional options
This section enables additional options: social icons, message anti-spam testing, sending a test message, attaching files and other useful additional options.
Toolbar section: Plain-text
Add plain text version to your HTML letter.
In the new toolbar, there are also functions that are not included in any of sections:
- Save
- Undo/redo
- Change HTML code
- Email preview
- Exact time when the last edits were saved
Dynamic toolbar
Usually the email template is much longer than a computer screen, so it is necessary to use a scrollbar to look through the whole template. Unlike the previous editor where the toolbar remained on the top and was not accessible while editing the bottom part of the template, the new Mailigen template editor has a dynamic toolbar which freezes on the top of the browsing window and remains accessible while editing the bottom part of the template. Therefore template editing is much easier, faster and comfortable.

Kovair's Requirements Management solution provides a rich, configurable and global platform for capturing a set of Requirements; collaborating on their development; and tracing implementation back to the original specs. As project goals and deliverables are shared by diverse team members (customers, analysts, software architects and designers), proper collaboration among each is a necessity to manage Requirements locally or globally.
Kovair supports Requirements Management of many flavors - Standard as well as Proprietary methodologies or processes. All the capabilities necessary for effective and effortless Requirements Management are built-in in Kovair and are accessible through a highly user-friendly web interface. Kovair's rich implementation of requirements gathering, parsing, management, traceability, base lining and intelligent reporting in a process-driven methodology enables project teams to effectively manage and map requirements.
With Kovair Requirement Management solution organizations can:
Requirements Management Process
Requirements are captured in different ways in different organizations. Kovair's Requirement Management solution allows users to capture Requirements in multiple formats as given below:
Kovair being a 100% web based solution provides all the facilities of a repository system. Once the Requirements become part of it, the team can always work on a single source of information where all requirements and other artifacts are captured. All the versions and the changes that happen over time are captured, so no extra time is required to obtain the latest version of a document or to figure out what has changed on the actual. Moreover, when users maintain requirements in word or excel format there are certain limitations. In Microsoft word one can capture requirements efficiently by including rich text and images but cannot prioritize or rank them easily, whereas in excel just the reverse is true. Moving to the Kovair solution eliminates all these problems by providing both of these options within the tool. Users can use different types of views, filters, and text based searches to view the records.
Group by View
Document View
View with different metrics
Kovair Requirements Management solution allows globally distributed teams to collaborate real-time across disparate multi-vendor tools. Enterprise level collaboration in Kovair helps users to review, discuss, decide, and stay connected. It allows users to overcome all the communication related challenges for a product delivery and empowers everyone with the insight of the progress of the delivery. Kovair allows team members to collaborate in multiple ways and perform multiple actions such as
Requirements elicitation practices include interviews, questionnaires, user observation, workshops, brainstorming, use cases, role playing and prototyping. Requirements models are used when requirements are gathered and also when detail system analysis gets done. Building accurate models means that the correctness of the requirements is guaranteed. The need for these models or diagrams is different for different industries and user roles. Kovair Requirements Management solution allows users to create these different types of diagrams and embed them within description for ready reference by the stakeholders. Users can also create and maintain the diagrams as attachments to the artifacts. Different types of diagrams as supported by Kovair are

Kovair Requirements Management offering has the most comprehensive traceability relation features compared to its competitors. Besides creating, tracking and managing relationships between different artifacts, Kovair allows users to define relationship between artifacts which is very unique in the business.
The Traceability along with impact analysis feature in Kovair helps users to understand different coverage, for example. functional coverage of Business Requirements, Test Coverage of Functional Requirements, and Use Case Coverage of Business Requirements. These relationships allow users to demonstrate compliance and ensure quality output. Using the coverage reports project members can identify the gaps throughout the lifecycle and take corrective actions accordingly. [ Read more... ]

Traceability Matrix – Business Requirement to Use Case
Relation Diagram – Multi-Level Relations of a Business Requirement
Versioning of requirements aims at providing access to the specific change states of individual requirements over the course of a lifecycle. A version of a requirement is defined by its specific content of the change state and is marked by a unique version number.
Kovair allows organizations to avail three different kinds of versioning policies as
Always Version – Whenever a record is edited a version will be created
User Selectable – The user who edits the record can control the fact whether a version is to be created or not.
No Version – This option restricts users from any sort of versioning
Kovair also allows users to select the attributes of the artifact that take part in versioning.
Versioning capability of Kovair provides the user to view the data of different versions in both textual and diagrammatic format. Kovair allows users to compare two versions side by side and merge them if needed. Using the version capabilities of Kovair, users can rollback versions and reconstruct requirements attribute by attribute. [ Read more... ]

An audit trail (or audit log) is a security-based chronological set of records. This is the documentary evidence of the sequence of activities that has impacted a specific operation, procedure, or an event at any time. The process that creates an audit trail is typically required to always run in a privileged mode, so it can access and supervise all actions from all users. A normal user should not be allowed to stop or change it.
Kovair Requirements Management solution allows users to answer the three major questions related to any change that has occurred.
Users can view the entire change history as well as can filter those using different options
Change History
Options for filtering change history
Reusing Requirements or any other assets allows organizations to increase productivity, minimize errors, thus helping to reach the target earlier. If around 90% of the requirements can be reused, the next product can be launched faster.
Enterprise wide reuse capability of Kovair keeps the requirements synchronized and in context, along with changes, comments, referred items and other related information. Kovair allows users to reuse artifacts across projects through branching and cloning. Users can track the artifacts from the origin to the destination with the capability of merging the changes of a particular branch to the main trunk. [ Read more... ]
Kovair, through its built-in Omni Process Workflow Engine, facilitates complete automation of the Requirements Management workflow - the way it happens in your organization- by facilitating the creation of a Task-based process. This capability helps simplifying task management across the time zones by replacing manual task assignment with automatic handoff. This happens during the review of Requirements i.e. before including them to a product roadmap. Some major advantages of Omniprocess Workflow Engine are:
Kovair produces reports and requirements documents of various kinds. These include:
These reports can be generated by a number of different reporting engines that Kovair supports:
Trend Report Showing Submission Vs Approval Vs Completion
A dashboard is a user interface that provides a consolidated view of multiple items on a single screen. It is an effective tool for real-time information tracking and can be useful for a CIO, Business Manager, or any other executive.
Kovair allows creation of dashboards using various types of gadgets including Catalog, Gantt charts and Reports. Any number of gadgets can be included in a dashboard with an option to place the gadgets across multiple columns and rows. The diagrams and charts used in Kovair dashboard are not just images, they display detailed drilldown data. Users can also view, edit, clone, and delete dashboards according to their needs.
The major benefits one can achieve by using the Kovair dashboards are:
With Kovair ALM Studio one can achieve all the goals of viewing real time reports, dashboards and detailed drilldown data across all the integrated ALM tools.

'Pot,' partisanship, economy, smoking, ADA
'Pot' deserves a better name
I have noticed over time, the U-T's use of the word "pot" when talking about medical cannabis ("Medical pot co-op poised for permit," June 28). I feel the word "pot" is being used in a divisive and manipulative manner, discrediting its effectiveness and relegating this miracle medicine to street-drug status. This herbal medicine improves the quality of life for countless people suffering from a multitude of maladies; from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and nausea. Maybe in the near future words like "pot," "weed" and "dope" can be supplanted by "cannabis," the taxonomic genus of this useful plant. -- Nick Norton, Bay Park
Supervisors' districts and party politics
The attitude of San Diego County Democratic Party Chairman Jess Durfee toward party partisanship sans regard for the common good of the populace of San Diego – and for that matter the entire U.S. population – is an affront to all good citizens who are counting on each other to vote for the best person for any elected position ("New boundaries unlikely to alter supervisor seats," Local, June 27).
We should not vote along party lines simply because we are Democrat or Republican but should vote for the best qualified and most apt to do what the people want that official to do as a representative.
There has been too much finger-pointing and partisan grandstanding by both parties. Let's forget what party we belong to and vote for progress and an end to our economic debacle. -- Bob Kim, Carlsbad
The story notes that all the county supervisors are white, Republican and of long standing. The reason we have these long-standing Republican supervisors is quite simply because they have managed the county well.
The voters can easily make the comparison between the Republican-run county and the Democrat-run city of San Diego (and the state for that matter). One has a healthy reserve and the other crushing debt. One is dominated by Democrats serving their labor patrons and the other by Republicans serving their entire community. Easy choice.
I am also tired of the "white" interjection. I don't care about our representatives' race, party or ethnicity – we simply need people with a sense of responsibility to the electorate, and when comparing the county with the city it's very clear which demonstrates this best. -- Rob W.M. Shipley, La Mesa
Economic morass not Obama's creation
Somebody should inform Michael Gerson ("Obama's economic predicament," Opinion, June 28) that it is the country's economic predicament, not the president's. He didn't create it, nor can he do much about it with the "just say no" Republicans controlling the House and manipulating the Senate with the filibuster.
Maybe Gerson should tell us how Republican-desired deep budget cuts are going to lower the unemployment rate below 9 percent; or how more tax cuts for the superrich and profitable corporations are going to reduce the deficit, or how privatizing Medicare is going to lower fuel costs or raise housing values? The fact that we are even in a slow Obama recovery is no thanks to anything Republicans have had to offer. -- Alan Segal, San Diego
