Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Grading Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard and the rest of the 2012 draft class by Ben Golliver Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Wed Mar. 27, 2013 Durability has been the only knock on Anthony Davis in his rookie season. (David Sherman/NBAE via Getty Images)By Ben GolliverThe members of the 2012 draft class are just a few weeks away from the end of their rookie seasons. Rob Mahoney examined the development of several rookies Tuesday. Now, let's go player by player through the first round to assess how the top 30 picks have fared. Letter grades are given for all players who have played at least 450 minutes this season; all others receive an incomplete. (All stats and records are through Tuesday.)1. Anthony Davis, Hornets: A-13.2 PPG, 8 RPG, 1 APG, 1.8 BPG, 1.1 SPG in 56 gamesHere's a simple question for those expressing disappointment about Davis' rookie campaign, which has included injury setbacks and, perhaps, more modest numbers than many expected: Does he really look like anything other than a superstar in the making? Davis, who just turned 20, possesses a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 21.6 (the league average is 15), tops among rookie starters and second only to Pistons reserve center Andre Drummond's 22.4 for first-year players. Even though he will likely be filling out his frame for the next half-decade, Davis has performed very well around the rim, taking almost 50 percent of his shots there and finishing 70.6 percent of them. His length, which made a mockery of the NCAA last year, has translated well to the pro game and it's especially effective when he's on the move, either cutting baseline or heading toward the hoop after setting a high screen. Staying with a player that mobile and long is essentially impossible for a solid chunk of NBA defenders.His defensive impact is already being felt and will only become more noticeable as the Hornets improve and as his overall strength increases. Opponents have found success posting him up, but he's far from the typical rookie big man who is susceptible to being picked on.Overall, Davis would earn a solid "A" if not for his absences from the lineup. Again, this boils down to expectations. Franchise players over the last 10 years or so have evolved to a freakish level of durability. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and others have all played a vast, vast majority of their team's games since achieving recognition as a key contributor. The standard for greatness is a high bar, but it's the only measure that makes sense for a player with Davis' gifts.2. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bobcats: B8.9 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 1.6 APG, 1 BPG in 67 gamesKidd-Gilchrist is half-pedestrian, half-amazing. Few players are so ineffective offensively and yet so widely respected. He is essentially only a credible threat to score when in transition, but all 30 general managers would kill to have the chance to enjoy the fruits of his growth. That's the paradox created by a 19-year-old forward with nice size, strength, quickness, length and the top motor in his class. It's not a stretch to say that he is the prototype for a modern elite defender.Now, about the offense. He treats the three-point line as if it's off limits -- he's shot just nine threes all season -- and he's yet to find an area of real strength, other than dunking, as he struggles in the post, in pick-and-roll situations and as a spot-up shooter. His poor marksmanship is exacerbated by the fact that he's not really a threat to distribute off the dribble. His mission for next season is to find a way -- any way -- to force defenses to respect him. Big picture, the fact that Kidd-Gilchrist is half-amazing makes him a full half more amazing than just about everyone else on the Bobcats' roster. This is the last guy in Charlotte you need to fret about, even if he has a long way to go.3. Bradley Beal, Wizards: B+13.9 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.4 APG in 54 gamesBeal's supporters are surely petitioning Basketball-Reference.com to list his numbers as "With John Wall" and "Without John Wall." No other rookie has been subject to such a dramatic tale of two seasons, as his most efficient scoring play types -- spot-up shooting and transition -- have been transformed by the presence of a real point guard. The fact that Beal couldn't hit the broad side of a barn until January throws off all of his percentages, but he's managed to climb back to a quasi-respectable PER of 13.6 and raise his three-point shooting to a very respectable 37.7 percent.Not yet 20, Beal has a bright future, and the Wizards' team performance since Wall's return has flipped the mood in the nation's capital. Watching these two feel out each other's games over the next few seasons will be a joy to watch. Beal can continue to improve as an initiator in pick-and-roll situations, but, more important, he needs to develop a better comfort level attacking the basket and finishing in traffic if he is going to track toward elite 2-guard status.4. Dion Waiters, Cavaliers: B-14.7 PPG, 3 APG, 2.4 RPG, 1 SPG in 57 gamesWaiters leads all rookies in usage rate despite being a 41.1 percent shooter and 31.6 percent three-point shooter. Unscientifically, he leads all rookies in terrible shots, too. But the raw tools are intriguing: He can create a shot in a flash, he's rarely afraid of the moment, he can get deep into the paint, he draws 4.5 fouls per 36 minutes and he can get hot.The backcourt pairing with point guard Kyrie Irving makes sense, in theory, but right now it badly tilts against Waiters, as more often than not he gives off the impression that he's doing too much on offense and not nearly enough on defense. If he reins in some of the shot-selection issues, continues to look to set up drive-and-kick opportunities for shooters and concentrates his efforts on getting to the line, he could emerge as a dynamic offensive weapon. That's a lot of "ifs," though, making an arc toward a microwave bench scorer a pretty realistic possibility.5. Thomas Robinson, Rockets (drafted by Kings): C-4.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 0.4 BPG in 63 gamesRobinson's name was synonymous with the words "NBA ready" last spring and yet the NBA is here, waiting, and he's not made a real impact. Some voices have already emerged, ready to write him off. But rushing to dismiss him would be a mistake, as the dysfunction permeates everyone, even the brightest of prospects, in Sacramento. That said, the biggest red flag to date is that while Robinson is totally reliant on in-the-paint opportunities for his offense, he hasn't distinguished himself as a reliable scorer around the hoop. Thought to be a fearsome finisher who would command real defensive attention, Robinson has been, mostly, an ineffective afterthought.The Rockets offered Robinson a new lease on life at the trade deadline, an opportunity he surely welcomed. He'll be in a position to compete for a starting spot next season, pending any major free-agent or trade additions. The up-and-down Houston style should play to his strengths as an athlete. If he has to settle in as a high-energy, glass-cleaning reserve, that's an acceptable backup plan, too. Let's give him another season before we judge too harshly.Damian Lillard is leading all rookies in minutes played by a large margin. (Sam Forencich/NBAE via Getty Images)6. Damian Lillard, Blazers: A19.1 PPG, 6.5 APG, 3.2 RPG in 70 gamesThe surefire Rookie of the Year has made the most of an incredibly advantageous situation. He entered the NBA with a no-nonsense attitude and tons of experience running the pick-and-roll, and he landed in Portland, where a first-year coach (Terry Stotts) was more than willing to give him the keys. Lillard has appeared in all 70 games and logged 2,703 minutes (38.6 per game), more than 900 more than any other 2012 draft pick. The Blazers have posted an above-average offense with Lillard at the helm and they've hung around the outskirts of the Western Conference playoff chase longer than just about everyone, including team management, expected.There are areas for potential improvement. Lillard is a tad jumper-happy, launching more than six threes per game. Like a number of big-time point guards before him, he'll need to ramp up his ability to get to the free-throw line as he ages. He's far more accomplished on the offensive end than the defensive end. Lillard will turn 23 in July, making him one of the oldest players in this class. That's raised questions about his ceiling, given that he's older than Irving and Wall, and nearly as old as fourth-year point guard Jrue Holiday of Philadelphia. Optimists see him as a certain All-Star, while pessimists are more likely to peg him as a solid starter. More immediately, he gives the Blazers a real chance to make the playoffs in 2013-14 (assuming their longshot bid falls short this season).7. Harrison Barnes, Warriors: B+9.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 1.2 APG in 71 gamesLet's take a long moment to acknowledge Barnes, the only full-time starter for a projected playoff team among the 2012 first-round picks. Only 20, Barnes has held up playing more than 25 minutes a game thanks to his excellent physique and top-notch work ethic. Barnes looked and carried himself like a pro as a high school senior and nothing has changed now that he is one. While he's unleashed his big-time hops on a few occasions, Barnes is really at his best as an auxiliary, spot-up option. His shooting has been decent but there's room for improvement, especially in his mid-range game.It's quite possible that his reputation soon becomes that of a lockdown, defense-first perimeter stopper. He's smart, long, quick and disciplined, and he's rebounded fairly well for a young wing. Barnes has all the makings of a long-term pro and he's still young enough that he could emerge as a dynamic offensive threat, which is what many people forecast when he was a highly ranked prep star. He's part of a talented, stable core in Golden State -- with Stephen Curry, David Lee and Klay Thompson – so anything besides steady development would be a surprise.8. Terrence Ross, Raptors: C6.4 PPG, 2 RPG, 0.6 SPG in 64 gamesThe Slam Dunk Contest champion finishes a fast break with more style and grace than anyone else in his draft class, but there's not much else to like about his body of work. He's not a multifaceted playmaker for others and he doesn't get to the free-throw line, leading many of his possessions to end with low-efficiency looks. The Raptors try to move him around and make things easier for him, which does work to a degree, but he will need to extend his shooting range for that to pay real dividends.Exactly how and where he fits in the suddenly crowded Toronto wing rotation is a key question heading into next season. Not much about GM Bryan Colangelo's roster construction makes sense, so Ross' role is only one of a number of questions facing the Raptors. This likely isn't the best set of circumstances for his development. Andre Drummond posted a rookie-best 22.3 PER before going down with a back injury. (Issac Baldizon/NBAE via Getty Images)9. Andre Drummond, Pistons: A-7.3 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 1.7 BPG in 50 gamesDrummond is pure intrigue, addicting intrigue. He might very well have been the league leader in causing observers to scream for him to get more playing time, more touches, more media attention, more, more, more. Before going down with a back injury in February (an injury from which he's yet to return), Drummond posted a rookie-best PER of 22.4 and compiled per-36 minute averages of 13.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, 3.1 blocks and 1.7 steals. Those are eye-popping numbers that signal All-Star potential, given that he's still 19.A big-bodied center with excellent athleticism, Drummond knows what he does best. More than 95 percent of his field-goal attempts have come in the basket area and he finishes nearly two-thirds of them, often with emphatic dunks. It must be noted that his offense is predicated on someone setting him up, but he knows exactly what to do with a dump pass and a second-chance opportunity. Those high-percentage looks helped drive his PER, and his presence on the court significantly improved the offensive efficiency of coach Lawrence Frank's team. And, yes, the lowly Pistons were better defensively with him on the court, too, as he effectively clogs the paint simply by being out there.We might never know why Drummond had his playing time crimped in what was clearly a rebuilding year, and it's not clear whether management and the current coaching staff will be retained next season. But whoever runs the show in 2013-14 will have to realize that Drummond's potential is far and away the best thing this franchise has going for it.10. Austin Rivers, Hornets: F6.2 PPG, 2.1 APG, 1.8 RPG in 61 gamesIt's virtually impossible to assess Rivers' rookie season without piling on. The numbers are just abysmal. Rivers, who has been out since breaking his hand on March 6, ranks last among qualified rookies with a PER of 6. He is shooting just 37.2 percent from the field. He has made only 40 percent of his shots at the rim, converted a below-average 32.6 percent from three-point range and hit 54.6 percent at the free-throw line. Gulp.Eric Gordon's unexpected absence definitely had the effect of throwing Rivers to the wolves. Playing for one of the NBA's worst teams didn't help, either, as he often found himself trying to create in isolation situations, where he performed exceedingly poorly. To make matters worse, Rivers has already had two surgeries since draft night. The upside here is that he's still not 21 and the Hornets will ask much less of him next season, assuming Gordon is healthy. That's a good thing, because he broke under the weight of the load this year.11. Meyers Leonard, Blazers: C4.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 0.6 BPG in 57 gamesStotts, seeing that his team could remain competitive as long as he relied almost exclusively on his starters, cut Leonard's minutes before the end of November. A midseason ankle injury also sidelined Leonard for three weeks. This hasn't been a completely lost season, though, as the youthful-looking, youthful-acting Leonard has gotten his feet wet, finding that he's capable of turning his physical assets into highlight dunks with sufficient regularity.Past the power slams, it's been hit and miss. Leonard struggles with defensive awareness, to put it kindly, as he can often be seen employing a panorama approach to isolation defense, completing a full 360-degree spin as he hopelessly tries to find the ball. Billed as a face-up threat on offense, Leonard hasn't reliably shown that type of range, although he's gotten more confident in pulling the trigger as the season has progressed.Given his importance to the Blazers' future, Leonard was underutilized this season. In an ideal world, he would have developed enough as a rookie to make a strong play for the starting job next season. Now, the Blazers enter free agency with their center spot as a question mark.12. Jeremy Lamb, Thunder (drafted by Rockets): Incomplete2.2 PPG, 0.5 RPG, 0.1 APG in 20 gamesLamb hasn't gotten the chance to show he is or isn't more than another potentially valuable asset in GM Sam Presti's war chest. The scoring guard has played more than 10 minutes only twice, owing to the depth (Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Martin, DeAndre Liggins, Reggie Jackson and now, sadly, Derek Fisher) in front of him. The Thunder acquired him in the James Harden blockbuster but might eventually decide that he is more valuable as a trade commodity than as a player. For now, Lamb's affordable rookie contact and the fact that he appeared to have significant upside coming out of UConn provides a fall-back plan for OKC as it considers Martin's fate in free agency this summer. A pass-first point guard, Kendall Marshall is averaging 5.9 assists per 36 minutes played. (Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE via Getty Images)13. Kendall Marshall, Suns: C-2.6 PPG, 2.1 APG, 0.7 RPG in 37 gamesIt's important to avoid letting a player's fit and situation take center stage in an evaluation, but Marshall's exceedingly rough circumstances in Phoenix are an unavoidable part of his narrative. Things have imploded in the desert, leaving a rookie coach to handle one of the least talented rosters in the NBA. Alvin Gentry's departure and Lindsey Hunter's arrival meant more burn for Marshall, but the results have been middling.Of this, there can be no question: Marshall has the vision and timing to thread the needle like few other NBA players. Unfortunately, his poor shooting is a serious detriment, and he hasn't gotten to the hoop with any regularity. His PER of 6.8 is second worst among qualified rookies. The Suns' offensive efficiency, already performing at a league-worst level, falls off a cliff when he's at the controls. Clearly, he needs talent surrounding him if his brand of pass-first, pass-second, pass-third point-guard play is going to have a chance to work.14. John Henson, Bucks: C5.5 PPG, 4 RPG, 0.5 BPG in 54 gamesBecause Henson's playing time has fluctuated a lot, his body of work isn't exactly definitive. Henson has used his 7-5 wingspan to put up impressive rebounding numbers (12.3 per 36 minutes) while creating second-chance opportunities for himself. Three-quarters of his shot attempts have come in the basket area but he's finishing them at just an average rate, something you would hope to see improve as he ages and adds some upper-body strength. In theory, he should develop into a legitimate lob target on every possession. If that doesn't happen, it's not clear how he will help on the offensive end.Defensively, it's hard to carve out a niche as a shot-blocking presence when you're on the same roster as Larry Sanders, but that's still the goal for this near 7-footer. The Bucks perform about the same defensively with and without him, which is a good place to start for any rookie big man.15. Moe Harkless, Magic (drafted by Sixers): B-7.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 1.2 SPG in 65 gamesIt's difficult to be an efficient wing player in the NBA as a teenager and Harkless isn't. He possesses a below-average PER (13.1), his plus-minus is quite unsightly and he holds an average or below-average shooting percentage from all 13 zones tracked by NBA.com. He lacks NBA range to open up his offense and isn't yet a player you trust in one-on-one situations. However, Harkless is a sneakily effective off-ball offensive weapon, using well-timed cuts to catch defenders napping and putting his solid athletic tools to work in receiving all types of passes and creating enough space to finish around the hoop. There's promise on the defensive end, too. The 19-year-old has untapped potential, but his shooting will have to improve.16. Royce White, Rockets: FZero gamesIt's a tricky balancing act, but it is possible to respect and appreciate what White is going through with regard to his mental health advocacy while also being cognizant of these harsh facts: He's the only 2012 first-round pick not to appear in an NBA game this season (thus earning himself an "F," not an "Incomplete"), and he's caused more public relations headaches than all other 29 guys listed here combined (and it's not close … at all).White said recently that NBA and Rockets officials "want him gone," and it's fair to believe that not many franchises would have stuck with him this long. Right now, it's easier to envision White out of the NBA come September 2014 (after the second and final guaranteed year of his contract expires) than it is to see him as a productive professional. The road has just been that rocky.Is White a lost cause? The future looks quite dim at the moment, but the fact that Andray Blatche has a PER of 22.5 one year after being cast off and amnestied provides the slightest trace of "never say never" hope. There are a number of non-mental health questions that need to be considered. Is White in NBA shape? Will the Rockets have any room in the rotation for him next season? Houston will remain reticent until the end, but isn't it reasonable to believe that the bridges with the coaching staff have already been compromised, if not burned? Those are all major impediments to success.17. Tyler Zeller, Cavaliers: C7.9 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.4 APG in 64 gamesForced into a starting role by virtue of a season-ending injury to Anderson Varejao, Zeller has found himself in water that's simply too deep. He's a legit 7-footer, but not particularly strong. He's a comfortable mid-range shooter, but hasn't been a very successful one. And he's the "backbone" of what's been one of the worst defenses in the NBA. His effort and attitude can't be questioned, but that's not always enough to make for a useful player.Areas for improvement include basically everything that involves strength: isolation defense, rim protection and his back-to-the-basket offense, to name three. Some of that might never come, which makes it all the more important that he becomes a knockdown face-up shooter. The rebuilding Cavaliers aren't in a huge hurry and should allow their Zeller project time to play out.Terrence Jones has struggled to find minutes in a crowded Rockets frontcourt. (Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images)18. Terrence Jones, Rockets: Incomplete3.1 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 0.4 BPG in 11 gamesThe Harden acquisition changed everything for the Rockets, accelerating their timeline and shifting their emphasis from developing during a rebuilding year to making a playoff push. The 21-year-old Jones surely would have seen more freedom and chances in a Harden-less world, but he's had to settle for recording six double-doubles in the D-League. Jones is best suited to play the stretch 4, but Robinson's arrival by trade and 2011 first-round pick Donatas Motiejunas' emergence could make it difficult to find time next season. Jones' raw talent and physical gifts beg for an enterprising general manager to come calling for a trade, but the cap-flexible, on-the-upswing Rockets are positioned to be picky sellers.19. Andrew Nicholson, Magic: B+8 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 0.5 APG in 65 gamesThings have broken right in Orlando for Nicholson, who has emerged as both the most productive and efficient non-lottery pick in the 2012 class. Nicholson is one of only five first-rounders -- along with Drummond, Davis, Henson and Lillard -- to post an above-average PER (15.5), and he's shooting 53.5 percent. His spot-up mid-range shooting keeps defenses honest and he is fairly comfortable in the post, especially against smaller defenders, uncorking a hook shot far more often than your average 6-9 forward. The Magic have struggled on defense all season, and though Nicholson isn't a stopper, he's not the weakest link, either.Nicholson is already 23 and his physical talent isn't overwhelming, two factors that could limit his upside. Still, Orlando shouldn't hesitate in buying out Hedo Turkoglu with an eye toward increasing Nicholson's playing time and growth possibilities next season.20. Evan Fournier, Nuggets: Incomplete3.1 PPG, 0.5 RPG, 0.7 APG in 29 gamesIt's no crime that Fournier, a slender 20-year-old Frenchman, hasn't been able to crack the rotation, given Denver's uber-deep bench and championship aspirations. His numbers are subject to both sample size and garbage-time disclaimers. He's a willing shooter, standstill and off the dribble, but he's yet to be truly tested.21. Jared Sullinger, Celtics: C6 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 0.5 BPG in 45 gamesSullinger has gone through an intense yo-yo of expectations over the last few years, and it only seems right that his rookie grade falls smack dab in the middle. Red-flagged for medical reasons, Sullinger started to produce with reasonable consistency in January, only to have season-ending surgery on his back in February. Evaluating the undersized power forward involves weighing the good (10.7 rebounds per 36 minutes at age 20) with the bad (it took only three months for the medical concerns to rear their ugly head). His offense has come as promised, by hitting the glass and hanging around the basket area waiting for dump-offs; his lack of length, considered a major bugaboo, didn't prevent the Celtics from having very good defensive-efficiency numbers with him on the court.Though his on-court contributions merit a higher grade, the first criterion for judging Sullinger from here on out is whether he is able to stay on the court. Last thought: There's offensive talent that went untapped this season that could prove valuable down the road.22. Fab Melo, Celtics: Incomplete1 PPG, 0.2 RPG, 0.4 BPG in five gamesWhat's the bigger indictment of Melo's rookie campaign: that his top highlight was either breaking a chair by sitting on it or giving himself a concussion by running into a door frame, or that Shavlik Randolph, who hadn't appeared in an NBA game since April 2010 and was playing in China this season, saw more action in his first two games after signing a 10-day contract in March than the center from Syracuse has played all season?John Jenkins ranks fifth among rookies in three point shooting percentage. (Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)23. John Jenkins, Hawks: B-5.3 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.7 APG in 54 gamesJenkins' scoring and shooting pedigree have found a nice home in Atlanta. The Hawks lost Lou Williams to a season-ending knee injury and traded offense-for-defense in moving Anthony Morrow for Dahntay Jones, opening up a nice role for Jenkins, who is shooting 39.3 percent on three-pointers. A classic corner-three monster, Jenkins finds his looks in both half-court settings and in secondary transition, where his quick, confident release can beat napping defenders. The advanced numbers don't treat him very kindly on either end, and his efficiency dwindles when he's asked to put the ball on the floor, but he should have a future as a spot-up sharpshooter.24. Jared Cunningham, Mavericks: Incomplete2.0 PPG, 0.4 RPG, 0.1 SPG in eight gamesThere didn't look to be many minutes available for Cunningham out of the gate in Dallas and that proved accurate, as O.J. Mayo has received the lion's share of the playing time at shooting guard. Cunningham has put up points during his D-League assignments but he's yet to do so efficiently, shooting only 33.5 percent in 15 games for the Texas Legends. Cunningham happens to be the only member of Dallas' current backcourt group under contract next season, with Mayo, Anthony Morrow, Darren Collison, Rodrigue Beaubois and Mike James all headed for free agency.25. Tony Wroten, Grizzlies: Incomplete2.8 PPG, 1.4 APG, 0.9 RPG in 31 gamesWroten has found himself as the fifth man in a four-man guard rotation in Memphis. His shaky jumper and decision-making were the concerns coming out of Washington and his field-goal percentage (38.6) and turnover rate (3.9 turnovers per 36-minutes) are in line with those expectations. The Grizzlies face a contract decision with Tony Allen this summer that will go a long way in determining Wroten's opportunities in the short term. Just 19 and blessed with good athleticism and the ability to pressure the ball on defense, Wroten will require patience. In the meantime, put him in the class of "guys who could randomly put up huge numbers at summer league."26. Miles Plumlee, Pacers: Incomplete0.6 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 0.3 BPG in 12 gamesPlumlee's selection in the first round raised plenty of eyebrows and the fact that he hasn't yet made a field goal outside of the restricted area should raise them even further. He fits into Indiana's general aesthetic of hard work and high energy, but it's impossible to watch Indiana's possessions in which he has the ball in his hands without screaming: "Pass it as soon as possible!" Rebounding his own missed shots just might be his best asset. A meaningful leap next season seems fairly unlikely for Plumlee, who will turn 25 before training camp.27. Arnett Moultrie, Sixers: Incomplete3.1 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 0.2 BPG in 36 gamesShocker: Coach Doug Collins stuck tightly to his veteran big men in the absence of Andrew Bynum. Moultrie, acquired from the Heat in a draft-day dump, had season highs of 14 points and eight rebounds in a loss to the Jazz on Wednesday. A full 70 percent of his shot attempts have come in the restricted area, bolstered by a number of second-chance opportunities, but Moultrie is comfortable setting screens away from the hoop and diving or stepping out for mid-range jumpers, too. He plays with high energy and Sixers fans are right to complain about his limited action in a season that went south quickly. Considered a steal on draft day, Perry Jones III has been limited to garbage time this season. (Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images)28. Perry Jones III, Thunder: Incomplete2.1 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.3 APG in 35 gamesThe Thunder are so deep and talented that playing time is hard to come by for 21-year-old prospects, even one like Jones, who was regarded as a 2012 draft-day steal. He fits right in among the long and athletic forwards in Oklahoma City, but he'll have to settle for mop-up duty in blowouts for the foreseeable future with all of this year's front line (Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins, Nick Collison and Hasheem Thabeet) under contract through at least 2014-15.29. Marquis Teague, Bulls: Incomplete2.3 PPG, 1.4 APG, 1 RPG in 43 gamesTeague never got the trial-by-fire treatment in Derrick Rose's absence because coach Tom Thibodeau has turned to Kirk Hinrich and Nate Robinson to run the show. It's easy to see why. Chicago's offense has struggled with Teague and his turnovers often jump out as being more careless than average. Short-term expectations were minimal considering his age when he was drafted, 19, and Rose's place as the franchise's centerpiece. Teague's older brother, Jeff, didn't make a real impact in Atlanta until his third season, and now he looks like a starter for years to come. Chicago really only needs Marquis to be a competent backup down the road, and that possibility is definitely still on the table.30. Festus Ezeli, Warriors: B2.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 BPG in 68 games On a Warriors team with scorers and shooters in abundance, Ezeli has been a pleasantly surprising dirty-work doer and paint-clogger. He's been a regular rotation member for virtually the entire season, with or without Andrew Bogut available, and has offered sufficient rebounding and hustle to compensate for his limited offensive utility. The Warriors are better defensively with him on the floor, and the unheralded Ezeli stands as the only non-lottery big man among 2012 first-round picks who can be expected to see real postseason minutes.

Are there examples of sets of natural numbers that are proven to be decidable but by non-constructive proofs only?
When I teach computability, I usually use the following example to illustrate the point.
Let $f(n)=1$, if there are $n$ consecutive $1$s somewhere in the decimal expansion of $\pi$, and $f(n)=0$ otherwise. Is this a computable function?
Some students might try naively to compute it like this: on input $n$, start to enumerate the digits of $\pi$, and look for $n$ consecutive $1$s. If found, then output $1$. But then they realize: what if on a particular input, you have searched for 10 years, and still not found the instance? You don't seem justified in outputting $0$ quite yet, since perhaps you might find the consecutive $1$s by searching a bit more.
Nevertheless, we can prove that the function is computable as follows. Either there are arbitrarily long strings of $1$ in $\pi$ or there is a longest string of $1$s of some length $N$. In the former case, the function $f$ is the constant $1$ function, which is definitely computable. In the latter case, $f$ is the function with value $1$ for all input $n\lt N$ and value $0$ for $n\geq N$, which for any fixed $N$ is also a computable function.
So we have proved that $f$ is computable in effect by providing an infinite list of programs and proving that one of them computes $f$, but we don't know which one exactly. Indeed, I believe it is an open question of number theory which case is the right one. In this sense, this example has a resemblence to Gerhard's examples.
The Robertson–Seymour theorem implies that every minor-closed family $F$ of finite graphs is decidable in time $O(n^3)$. However, it does not provide an explicit algorithm until one supplies an explicit finite list of forbidden minors that characterize $F$; the proof that such a list always exists is non-constructive.
There is the standard example involving Fermat's Last Theorem, except that we now have a good idea what the set is. So let's replace it with "the smallest positive integer n which is a multiple of 4 and for which no Hadamard matrix of order n exists, or 1 if Hadamard matrices of all possible orders exist." This defines a singleton set, which is decidable. You could argue that in principle it is constructive, whereas I would argue that since we still don't know maximal determinants for small orders less than 100, you and your putative great-grandchildren will not see a value for n, so you will have a hard time showing to me that a construction based on this definition exists, as there is no guarantee of termination of the construction.
Alternatively, any finite set which is arrived at by nonconstructive means (E.g. encodings of counterexamples to Frankl's union-closed families conjecture, where the presumed proof that there are only finitely many is nonconstructive) should count as an example.
Better answers will arise once a good notion of nonconstructive has been specified. As to such a notion, I'll leave the philosophical wrangling to others.
Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.02.10
Assume your set $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ is decidable, that is, $\forall_n (n\in A\vee n\not\in A)$. Markov's Principle ensures that your set is computable. As it is computable, it can be described by a $\Pi_2^0$-Formula, and this is provable in Peano Arithmetic. Therefore, using the Friedman-Translation, you'll find a constructive proof of its decidability from Heyting Arithmetic.
So much for the sets with decidability provable from Peano Arithmetic. There are of course things like Goodstein's Theorem, on which this Theorem might not be applicable. In this case, you have to specify which stronger constructive System you want. But probably, similar theorems also hold then.
FIVE NOTES ON THE APPLICATION OF PROOF THEORY TO COMPUTER SCIENCE by Georg Kreisel, p. 32. Kreisel notes, that his set "is recursive by (the mere fact of) decidability and recursive enumerability of the theorems of any formal system. There is no apparent way of refining [this] brutal definition."
There are lots of theories in model theory that can be proven to be decidable, in a non-constructive manner, by showing that a first order theory exhibits categoricity. One example that comes to mind the the theory of countable densely ordered fields (via Cantor's non-constructive proof that they are all isomorphic).
If one considers a decidable theory in stated in a a countable language, one can obtain a decidable set of numbers it corresponds to using Gödel numbering; ie, $\{\ \overline{\phi} \ |\ T \vdash \phi\}$. If the proof that the theory was non-constructive, then the decidability of the corresponding set of Gödel will also be non-constructive.

FORT HOOD (February 7, 2013)—A man was sentenced in federal court Wednesday after he earlier pleaded guilty to stealing some rings from the Army and Air Force Exchange store at Fort Hood.
Federal district Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Darius T. Cooper to serve 5 years probation, pay $649 in restitution and pay a $100 special assessment to the court.
In a document presented in court at Cooper's plea hearing, government investigators say on April 26, 2012, a Fort Hood security officer began an inventory at the exchange and discovered that four sets of rings, valued at almost $17,500, were missing from inventory.
The investigator reviewed a videotape of the jewelry counter at the exchange and saw Cooper get into the closed counter and remove several items.
An FBI agent later interviewed Cooper who admitted he had stolen the merchandise.

I'm interning at a new startup, and I've been tasked with designing the front-end of the site. I really, really want to use the new Twitter Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/). It's all CSS, looks amazing, works great, and lets me get to designing and not worrying about the little stuff.
However, is this a good idea if it's a demo of a webapp that we're building that could become production code? Will it look silly and amateur if I use this instead of coding it all myself? Is the bootstrap too Twitter-ish for a real company's brand?

Lehigh River Fisheries Management Plan
Lehigh River named Pennsylvania's 'River of the Year'
DCNR Secretary Michael DiBerardinis this week named the Lehigh River as the commonwealth's River of the Year for 2007.
The designation recognizes the watershed's role in eastern Pennsylvania history and its promising recreational future. The Lehigh River drains portions of 10 counties and stretches more than 100 miles.
"The Lehigh River is alive and thriving, with water quality better now than it has been the last 150 years," DiBerardinis said. "There are scores of partners working to preserve, protect and enhance this great state resource, and its resurgence has pumped new life into the communities surrounding it.
"Once a historic transportation corridor for coal bound from Carbon and Luzerne counties to Philadelphia, New York and beyond, the Lehigh River helped fuel America's Industrial Revolution," DiBerardinis said. "Now, mountain bikers, hikers and hunters are seen where mules and canal barges hauled coal and other cargo. Where dams once contained the mighty river, anglers in great number now seek trout, American shad and other species found in a healthy waterway."
DCNR annually designates a "River of the Year" to applaud local residents, governments, non-profit and conservation organizations working to improve waterways and the quality of life in their watersheds across the state.
The Lehigh River winds 104 miles from its headwaters near Gouldsboro, Wayne County, to its junction with the Delaware River in Easton, Northampton County. Its watershed drains Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Schuylkill and Wayne counties. The Lehigh is the Delaware's second largest tributary.

March is Developmental Disabilities Month in Jefferson County. The theme this year is "Look Beyond!"
The Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities Board is encouraging residents to understand that everyone wins when people with disabilities are welcomed into local neighborhoods, workplaces, houses of worship and schools.
It is often attitudinal barriers that affect everyday life for people with developmental disabilities. In addressing those barriers through positive awareness efforts, fears and negative attitudes can be replaced with knowledge and understanding.
Look beyond the disability and you will discover a person with the same hopes and dreams as you.
Look beyond the disability and you will see a person who is willing to work hard. Look beyond the disability and you will discover a heart full of love.
Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities has been providing services to county residents for more than four decades.
Its board serves about 50 children in the early intervention and preschool programs, 85 students at the School of Bright Promise and 165 adults.
Services are provided from birth to death thanks to county taxpayers.
There are many agencies that work together to help the developmentally disabled, including the county health department, Jefferson Behavioral Health Services, Jefferson County Educational Service Center, school districts, Jefferson County Family and Children First Council and the county Job and Family Services.
County mental retardation boards were created in 1967, but it wasn't until 1982 that mental retardation and developmental disabilities became its own state department.
Jefferson County voters in 1968 opened their hearts and wallets for the mentally retarded by approving a tax levy. The School of Bright Promise opened in 1971, and the Jeffco Sheltered Workshop opened in 1972.
Birth to death services are offered to hundreds of families who have a loved one with a developmental disability.
Those families were lost at the beginning on how to care for their son or daughter. But the agency came to their aid and provided education and life skills that allowed the person with a developmental disability to grow.
The name mental retardation was removed from county board names a several years ago. Developmental disabilities is more appropriate because it encompasses the population served by the Jefferson County board.
School districts in Jefferson and Harrison counties, the Jefferson County Educational Services Center and the Jefferson County Board of Development Disabilities got together several years ago and opened the Regional Spectrum Center to help with severe cases of autism.
The Developmental Disabilities Board also works to help young adults find employment. School boards also are now giving diplomas to students with developmental disabilities if they meet their educational goals. A high school diploma is key to finding a job.
Residents with a developmental disability at one time faced an uncertain future.
But now they can look beyond.

Given a set of points $S$ on the Euclidean plane, Onion Peeling determines the nested set $H$ of convex hulls on $S$. Define an analytical formula on $S$ which produces a point, not necessarily in $S$, that falls inside the innermost convex hull in $H$. The formula must not use $H$.
closed as general reference by Denis Serre, Wadim Zudilin, Harald Hanche-Olsen, Andrés E. Caicedo, Qiaochu Yuan Jan 2 '11 at 14:09
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
To proceed further along the lines of Gerry Myerson's comment and Joseph O'Rourke's illustration and remarks, there is no real analytic formula to produce a point inside the innermost core as a function of $n$ points, when $n \ge 4$:
If you have a triangle with 1 point inside, then the only possible solution is that point.
If there were any analytic function, then it since it picks one of the vertices in an open neighborhood, it would need to pick that point globally. But that's impossible, since the configuration can be rearranged to make a different point the innermost one.
There is not even a continuous function that produces a point in the innermost hull, at least for 5 or more points; here the idea is illustrated with 9 points, so that the peeling the onion gives a nondegenerate inner hull:
If 6 points are added to the edges of a triangle formed by 3 of the points, then an arbitrarily small perturbation makes the first peeling produce a quadrilateral as shown. The intersection of this quadrilateral with the two other analogous quadrilaterals is empty, so there can be no continuous choice near the degenerate configuraton.
For 5 points, 2 extra points can be added so that a perturbation makes one of them into the inner hull. For 6 points, it can be arranged to be not quite as degenerate, where the inner hulls become 3 line segments that have no common intersection.
Here is an illustration of Gerry Myerson's nice idea:
Incidentally, there is an efficient algorithm to find the onion depth of a point set: $O( n \log n )$ for a set of $n$ points, established by Bernard Chazelle in the paper, "On the convex layers of a planar set," IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 31: 509-517, 1985.
There also has been some work on the combinatorial structure of onion layers. A crude summary is: the structure is complex and not well understood. See "Onion polygonizations," Information Processing Letters Volume 57, Issue 3, 12 February 1996, Pages 165-173.

FAYETTEVILLE — Myke Tavarres couldn't temper his feelings when he found out who was going to be Arkansas' linebackers coach.
The junior college prospect had just signed with the Razorbacks, becoming part of Bret Bielema's first class. So he already was eager to enroll in classes, get on campus and start working out with his new team. The desire only intensified when the Razorbacks announced former Miami coach Randy Shannon had been hired.
"I kind of like freaked out like a little girl," Tavarres said last week. "I was like, 'Oh my God, Shannon! He coached Ray Lewis. Yes!" I was so excited."
Bielema has been lauded for assembling an impressive coaching staff for his first season with the Razorbacks. There's no doubt Shannon carries the most clout — and has generated the biggest buzz — when he was announced in late December.
The former Miami Hurricanes linebacker, assistant coach and head coach has brought a wealth of experience (three national championships) and an impressive who's who list of pupils (Lewis, Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams) to an Arkansas defense that rested near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference last season.
Shannon, who worked as an assistant at Texas Christian last year, has specifically taken on the challenge of constructing Arkansas linebacking corps. It's no secret the position is one of Arkansas' biggest question marks after a season plagued by serious depth issues because of injuries and other problems.
But Shannon said he's excited about the challenge of molding his new group.
"I tell all the guys, we're all in this together," Shannon said last week. "You can't make this a deal where it's a business and everybody is uptight. You have to be loose. You have to try to understand what we're trying to get done. Have fun.
"If you don't like your job, you're not going to do your job very well if you don't like it. So my biggest thing is keeping the guys loose, having fun, but learn."
Bielema said after the first week of practice it was clear the linebacker position had the most room for growth. He and the rest of the staff have confidence in Shannon's abilities to improve the group, which includes Tavarres and returning linebackers like Otha Peters, A.J. Turner, Jarrett Lake, Daunte Carr and Robert Atiga.
"A lot of people think he's here because of his past and being the head coach at the University of Miami and a D-coordinator and all that," Arkansas defensive coordinator Chris Ash said last week. "That stuff's great, but I wanted Randy Shannon because he's a great teacher. His principles and beliefs on how to coach and teach linebackers fit with what we wanted with our scheme.
"That's why he's here, and he's done a great job with those guys. He's a great coach, great teacher, great mentor for those young linebackers at that position."
Shannon has been experimenting with combinations at linebacker through two weeks of practices, putting numerous players in various positions. Minor injuries to Turner (broken wrist) and Peters (sore hip) have created some new looks as well.
Atiga and Carr logged snaps at middle linebacker during last Saturday's 74-play scrimmage. Tavarres and Lake have garnered praise for their early work at the outside positions. Austin Jones, Jerry Mitchell, Braylon Mitchell and Price Holmes have also worked in the rotation at linebacker spring.
Tavarres said working with Shannon has "been a pleasure" for everyone.
"He loves to joke around, but then he's so serious with practice," Tavarres said last week. "Just working with him one-on-one, I've gotten a lot better. Then how he works with the team, the linebackers, it's amazing to see him work and I'm really blessed I've got the chance to work with him."
There has been plenty of shuffling. But it's a calculated move.
Shannon told a story about his most decorated pupil at Miami to prove the point last week. Lewis — who recently retired after an illustrious career with the Baltimore Ravens — started out playing weakside linebacker for the Hurricanes.
"I'm like, 'Man, this guy's not very good,'" Shannon said. "And a guy got hurt at the middle linebacker position. We put (Lewis) at middle linebacker, the next week he was a starter and he started ever since. That's how his history went.
"You're trying to find the chemistry of guys to work together and also find what best fits them. Sometimes you never know who's going to play what position. But when somebody clicks and they do well, then you know that's the position for them."
Shannon and the defensive staff have nine more practices this spring to evaluate what linebackers fit best in what positions. Bielema said he expects junior college transfer Martrell Spaight and incoming freshman Brooks Ellis to factor into the depth chart as well when they arrive on campus later this summer.
Arkansas has a long way to go to become a prominent linebacking corps like the ones Shannon was used to seeing during his long career with the Hurricanes.
But Peters is confident the Razorbacks will improve with Shannon leading them.
"I couldn't ask for a better coach," Peters said. "He lets us play. He coaches, but he also lets us have fun and do what we do."

I would be interested to hear (read) the opinions and experiences of fellow Spherical Panorama Photographers on the subject of the number of images for a panorama, if they are prepared to share it.
I have read through Nicks topic How to choose a detent interval (shooting interval) updated and followed the link to Franks calculator:
and noticed that the default overlap value is 25%.
I have also followed Nicks and Johns links to:
and other links including:
which has a 20% overlap as a starting point, and Aslans site:
where the default is 25%, but with 30% recommended, and have found values as low as 12.5% for the overlap.
Nick's Tables, e.g.
have an overlap range of 15% to 50%, which suggests to me that there is room for discussion.
I appreciate that the overlap value is a starting point as the overlap increases as we move away from the equator of the images.
The reason for my interest in this topic is that when I started taking panoramas back in the early 1970s I drew on my experience with photogrammetry where we used a 60% overlap when taking aerial photographs with the big 230mm x 230mm format cameras. This gave a 10% overlap between every other photograph and we would place our Ground Control (ground truth) points in this area. This lead to my using approximately a 50% overlap for my panoramas and I used the technique of taking my first photograph to the extreme left of the panorama, noting the subject at the centre and rotating the camera clockwise until this subject was against the left edge of the frame, taking the next photograph and repeating this process until I reached the right hand end, giving an overlap between each photograph of 45% to 50%..
Having this large overlap made the putting together of the panorama a lot easier as I used the same technique as making mosaics from aerial photographs by tearing the prints along a suitable feature to feather the edge. Provided that you did not look too closely, this gave great results.
Then I saw a spherical panorama on the Internet and wanted to achieve this myself. At that time surfing the net did not produce a lot of information and about the only thing that seemed to come from this research was the need for a fisheye lens, which I now know not to be true, but I eventually saved my pennies (cents) and purchased one and started experimenting.
I deliberately chose a difficult subject on the basis that it is not always possible to revisit the site if things were not right the first time and since then I have become involved with panoramas for introducing colours into HDS (High Definition Surveying) scans where the camera must be centred at the same point as the scanner so once the tripod has been moved on it is impossible to retake any photographs.
The results of my experiments, and previous experience with panoramas, has tended to produce much better results with overlaps of 45% to 50%, so I tend to take 8 horizontal images plus 2 nadir images with a Sigma 8mm or Nikon 10.5mm lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor. I found that using PTGui, 4 horizontal images required a lot of Control Point editing to get a sort of respectable solution and 6 horizontal images gave a better solution, but still needed Control point editing, whereas the 8 horizontal images processed sweetly. I also found that too many images (e.g. 12 horizontal images) created a problem as Control Points then appeared where they should not, and the only way to get a solution was to split the 12 images into 2 sets of 6.
I have also experimented with other lenses, such as the Sigma 10-20mm, and found that I get much better results using the bigger overlaps.
When it comes to the fisheye lenses it is clear that much less lens distortion has to be dealt with by using more images because of the way the no parallax point, nodal point, entrance pupil, centre of perspective, apparent pupil, or whatever you wish to call it, moves towards the front of the lens as the angle of view increases and that if 8 horizontal images are taken with a lens such as the Sigma 8mm or Nikon 10.5mm that this point coincides well with the gold ring around the centre of the overlap.
However, I find that when I look at the suggested number of images for a Spherical Panorama with a particular lens or camera that they are always much less than what I would use. For me, more is less (i.e. more shots in the field mean much less time on the computer), but I am wondering what others think.
Best regards, Hugh.

Deadly Blessing is a horror film that takes place on farmland wherea cult called the Hittites brushes against the surrounding townspeople,resulting in murder. It was directed by Wes Craven, who had previously directedThe Last House On The Left and The Hills Have Eyes. While Deadly Blessing isn�t nearly as scary asthose two films, it does a great job of maintaining a creepy, unsettlingatmosphere throughout. And there are some good scares (the snake in the bathtub seriously freaked me out).
The Hittites are anAmish-like group who have shunned the modern world. But of course their landborders on a modern farm, which is owned by a couple � Jim (Doug Barr) andMartha (Maren Jensen). Jim is an ex-Hittite, and was the first from the cult togo away to school. When he returned, he was with Martha, and wasex-communicated from the cult, which is led by his own father, Isaiah (ErnestBorgnine). Isaiah calls Martha the incubus (which is interesting, as an incubusis traditionally thought of as a male demon).
Soon Jim is killed in hisown barn. We then see some of the Hittites sneak into the barn, includingWilliam (played by Michael Berryman, from TheHills Have Eyes). Earlier we saw William frightening Faith (Lisa Hartman)while she was painting.
After Jim�s death, two ofMartha�s friends -- Lana (Sharon Stone) and Vicky (Susan Buckner) -- come tovisit her, to comfort her. This is essentially Sharon Stone�s first film.Before this, she had been basically a featured extra in Woody Allen�s Stardust Memories. So yes, thisis long before Sharon Stone learned how to act (but she looks great).
William spies on Martha throughher bedroom window while she changes. It�s very creepy, mostly because he seemsso childlike. Then suddenly he�s killed. So now who�s spying on her through herwindow? As viewers, we come to suspect alot of people could have been responsible for Jim�s murder. However, oddly, theauthorities don�t seem to be investigating it at all. In fact, they really onlycome around again when William has been killed. We even suspect Isaiah after hetells Martha his son�s land should be with his people.
Farms are always a bitcreepy, and cults are always very creepy (yes, that includes you,Scientologists). We do get a scene of an official cult meeting, where Isaiahdishes out punishment to a young member. It�s effective at showing the type ofperson Isaiah is, and how the others are obedient, and it also sets up thescene where he later punishes his own son, John, who has taken an interest inVicky.
As I said, the film has a great atmosphere, and a goodlook. And some of the cast is really strong. Plus, you get to hear ErnestBorgnine shout, �You are a stench in thenostrils of God!�
Special Features
This Collector�s Edition dischas quite a lot of special features. There is a commentary track by directorWes Craven. Wes Craven tends to do really good commentaries. For some reason,this one is moderated, but the moderator does a good job not imposing too much.Wes talks about how he did a pretty thorough re-write on the script. And hetells some interesting tales about the film. The producers interfered on only a few points. One was that WesCraven was told that Sharon Stone had to be cast, and that she had to wear lingerie. Also,the ending was tacked on at the insistence of the producers. The story about SharonStone�s reaction to the spider is also interesting. Wes talks about some of thethings that interested him in this project (though he also admits it was thepaycheck), including the fact that he was raised as a strict Baptist, and soknew about repression. He talks about how his father was frightening, and thathe died when Wes was young, and how that has led to some of the figures in hishorror films. He tells the story of Borgnine being injured on this film, andtalks about shooting in Texas. I was completely appalled by what Wes Cravensaid about the crew�s reaction to John Lennon�s death, which happened at thetime of the production (they applauded � one more reason to dislike Texas).
This disc also includesseveral interviews with cast and crew. Say Your Prayers! is an interview withactor Michael Berryman, in which he talks a bit about The Hills Have Eyes, but mainly, of course, about Deadly Blessing. He talks about hischaracter, the location, the other actors and about the hanging scene. Thisfeature is approximately fourteen minutes.
Secrets Revealed is an interview with actor Susan Buckner, in whichshe talks about her start in the industry, about Grease, and about the other actors in Deadly Blessing. She was pregnant during the shooting, but didn�ttell anyone. This feature is approximately thirteen minutes.
Rise Of The Incubus is an interview with creature designer JohnNaulin, who talks about the design for the creature at the end of thefilm. This is approximately six and ahalf minutes.
So It Was Written is an interview with writers Glenn Benest andMatthew Barr, who discuss the Amish, and the idea of a repressive religiouscult. They talk about re-writes, about being on set during production, andabout the added ending (which they didn�t like). This feature is approximatelytwenty minutes.
This disc also includesthe film�s trailer, three television spots, five radio spots and a photogallery.
The Collector�s Editionof Deadly Blessing wasreleased on January 22, 2013 through Scream Factory (a division of Shout! Factory).

You Should Watch These Badass, Women-Led Martial Arts Films
When you think about classic Chinese martial arts films (because I know you do all the time), usually, heavy hitting actors like Bruce Lee, Gordon Liu, Jackie Chan, even Lau Kar-leung immediately come to mind. But what about women martial artists? Turns out, there are a lot of them. And they are the epitome of badass.

I tried reading about Arakelov theory before, but I could never get very far. It seems that this theory draws its motivation from geometric ideas that I'm not very familiar with. What should I read to learn about the geometry that in turn inspired the ideas in Arakelov theory?
To get a nice overview of how and why Arakelov theory started you could read the introduction to R. de Jong's Ph.D. thesis on
I remember that being very helpful to me.
To avoid too many complex analytic difficulties you should stick to the case of arithmetic surfaces (i.e. integral regular flat projective 2-dimensional $\mathbf{Z}$-schemes). The complex analysis involved is all "Riemann surfaces theory". An elementary and thorough treatment of this is given in P. Bruin's master's thesis
Arakelov theory provides an intersection pairing on an arithmetic surface $X$. The idea is to add vertical divisors on $X$ above the "points at infinity" on Spec $\mathbf{Z}$ (or Spec $O_K$ ). There will be two contributions: finite and infinite. To get a good understanding of the finite contributions I recommend reading Chapter 8.3 and 9.1 of Q. Liu's book.
I remember that after reading these texts the article by Faltings was much more readible to me. I also enjoyed the very nice asterisk by Szpiro on the subject. I think it's called something like "pinceaux de courbes de genre deux". (Not all texts in this exposé are in French, I believe.)
Here's some advice on what you shouldn't read when you just start. I wouldn't start immediately reading the papers by Gillet and Soulé (unless you really want too). The complex analysis is very involved. The paper by Bost "Potential theory and Lefschetz theorems for arithmetic surfaces" introduces the most general intersection theory (based upon $L^2_1$ Green functions) and should also be left for later reading in my opinion.
To learn Arakelov theory the proofs don't really help me understand the statements for they are based upon moduli space arguments usually (e.g. the proof of the Noether formula). Therefore, I would also recommend you skip most of the proofs on a first reading.
What did help is seeing how Arakelov theory gets applied. I recommend the recent book by Couveignes, Edixhoven, et al. available here
You can try to read this wonderful paper by Burgos. It is in Catalan, though. If you are familiar with Spanish or French, you can manage to read it.

Let $A(t+1)=A(t)+Bin(n-A(t),\frac{A(t)}{n})$ with $A(0)=1$ and let $T_n$ be the minimum of $t$ such that $A(t)=n$.
I think that $A(t)$ should behave like the naive deterministic approximation $a(t+1)=a(t)+(n-a(t))\frac{a(t)}{n}$ with $a(0)=1$. It can be shown that $t$ needs to be greater than $\log_2{n}+f(\alpha)$ in order to obtain $a(t)\geq \alpha n$. Here $f$ does not depend on $n$.
Is it then true that $$\mathbb{P}(|T_n-\log_2{n}|>\omega(n))\to 0$$ for any $\omega(n)\to \infty$, however slowly?
I am trying to prove this in three phases: from $A(0)=1$ to $A(S_1)=bn$, then from $bn$ to $cn$ in $S_2$ stages and from $cn$ to $n$ in $S_3$ stages for $0 < b < c <1$.

UPGRADE: Please report anything out of the ordinary post-upgrade in this thread: http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,66430.new.html
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Every now and then the subject comes up at my church about when the best time would be for Sunday school. It's not a raging debate or anything. It's just sometimes it gets discussed, and lately it has come up again.Being an Armenian church, our liturgies last about two hours, to two and one half hours. The kids go to Sunday school during the time of the liturgy, not before or after. Once a month the kids are brought in shortly before Communion to hear a special sermon from the priest and to partake of the Sacrament.There are those who would like to put Sunday school before or after the liturgy, so kids can attend the service with their parents. The Orthodox Church is, after all, a Church of worship, and children should be immersed in this as they grow up.Those who want to keep the current system argue (perhaps realistically) that no Armenians are going to get up early enough on a Sunday to bring their kids to church before the liturgy starts, and that people are not going to want to stay longer for the classes to take place afterward.So I am posting this topic here because I am wondering what is done about Sunday school in other OO Churches. I guess I would also like to hear from our EO friends, but really only if their services are as long as ours. (I get the impression that some EO services are, but some aren't.) I know that Armenian services are more or less on the short end of what you will find in the OO tradition. Ethiopian services, from what I have seen and experienced, can go for four or five hours. So what is done in most churches in this situation? I don't believe in shortening the liturgy. I'm very much opposed to the "our liturgy is too long, let's shorten it to 45 minutes" mentality. So I'd like to know what other churches with long services do with regard to educating the children. Do you also have Sunday school during the liturgy? If so, how do you get the kids into church? Do you have Sunday school before or after the liturgy? If so, what do you do about parents who don't want to come early or leave late? Or do you find that people are happy to accommodate an early or late schedule for the classes?I just want to see what works in other parishes.
^ Don't the kids get hungry? Being at church from 8:15 noon without food would make my kids go insane with hunger.
OK, what are munchkins? I have to know and google isn't helping.
I think Handmaiden means munchies.
We always have Sunday School after Liturgy. Not sure what more I can say apart from, "it works."Look, Salpy, I know you Armenians are a bit of a funny bunch (cf. pointy hats), but surely it won't kill you guys to stick around a bit longer in the house of God
Actually, from what I understand, Sunday school in the Republic of Armenia is held after the liturgy. They also wouldn't dream of having it during the liturgy. I think that to the extent you see Sunday school during the liturgy in Armenian parishes, it is in places like the US and it is an unfortunate Protestant influence.
I get the feeling that if my parish does change how Sunday school is done, it would be after the liturgy. I think the idea of having some sort of fellowship or activity for the adults while the kids learn is ideal. Maybe some day it will happen. Pray for us.
From Grades 1-8, we went for Communion and went back for Choir rehearsal after Communion where I learned all the responses in Greek. I learned about the Divine Liturgy by waiting for Communion. Some of my teachers took the class to Communion a few minutes early to see the Great Entrance, the Creed, et al.
After 2003, the Priest required the Sunday School students to sit in Church until the Gospel. After a brief sermon on the Gospel, the children were dismissed to Sunday School. Sunday School attendance fell off a cliff and continues in its free fall as 2009 School year comes to an end. 30% of the registered Sunday School showed up at the 2008 End of the Year exercises.

I learned about the Divine Liturgy by waiting for Communion.

That seems to be what you are saying, but I want to clarify.

Sunday School attendance fell off a cliff and continues in its free fall as 2009 School year comes to an end. 30% of the registered Sunday School showed up at the 2008 End of the Year exercises. This is really scary. In fact, I would say that those who are opposed to changing the schedule at my church would say that they are afraid of something like this happening. I need to understand more, though.Do the kids come back into the church for Communion, or are they gone for the rest of the service?
Why are the parents no longer bringing their kids to Sunday school? Is it because the kids are missing Communion (if that is the case?) Or is it because the parents don't want to come early enough to have their kids there during the part before the Gospel? If it is the latter, that would be why my church wouldn't want to change Sunday school to be during Matins.
…I just cannot fathom Sunday School being held during any Liturgical service…I find it very disturbing!
It is a requirement to receive communion that you attend either Matins Sun morning or Great Vespers Sat. evening.[
There are complaints and it is hard to get up. But it is well worth it. I don't think 1/2 an hour is long enough for Sunday School. When we were looking into parishes we had a choice between a parish that had Sunday school during liturgy or the one we go to now. I think it is more common to have Sunday school during liturgy.
At my Coptic Church Liturgy is (usually) from 8:00 am to 11:30. Lunch is from 11:30 to 12:00, and then Sunday School is from 12:00 to 1:00 pm, often realistically 1:30. I think that if you have a sense of community so that people are going to be there after the Liturgy it works well. If there is no such sense of community and people just come for the Liturgy and leave afterward that's a problem in itself.

changing the checked status of a TreeNode using code
I could not find anything about this on the forum os anywhere else.
I have a tree with checkboxes set using the 'checked' property of each node.
I use the id of the TreeNode to create checkboxes with the same id in order to display a list of all selected items in the tree. When a user toggles the TreeNode, my code adds or removes a corresponding checkbox.
I have a function, see code below, attached to the checkboxes, that fires on the status change of a checkbox.
The functions get the appropriate parameters and I can access the TreeNode attributes in the function and they get applied instantly. I cannot find a method to access the the 'checked' property.
Or is changing the checked status not possible using code ?
** Solved it ** See changes to code in comments.
function reportSelectionRemoved(checkboxId, status)
treeNodeId = checkboxId.id;
root = Ext.getCmp('customerFilterTree').root;
treeNode = root.findChild('id', treeNodeId, true);
/* change the appearance */
/* change the property */
treeNode.attributes.checked = false;
if(status === false)

Apple removed the Java preferences from Lion and Mountain Lion as part of an update. It should prompt you to reinstall from Oracle the next time you need it.
The update in question (Java for OS X 2012-006) disables the Safari Java plugin for security purposes. Per Apple technical bulletin:
Here is an Apple technical bulletin link on how to re-enable the plugin
If you need the full Java runtime you may download it directly from Oracle by going this webpage.
It was removed because Apple believes you can use the (new) JAVA preference pane in your System Preferences to do this job now, but this is not the case.
If you want to reinstall it:
The 10.8 dmg has it under /Packages/JavaEssentials.pkg
I Googled around and found a link.
After the install you find your Java Preferences.app in its old place, allowing you to switch between all installed JAVA versions and allowing your Browsers to use applets again.
Yet another barrier for JAVA broken down.
I needed JDK 1.7 in OSX 10.8.4 and this is what I did:
Java is still in your system just like Dorothy could always go home. I have Yosemite.
You just have find it in the deploy folder....leave it where it is... make an ALIAS of it and put the ALIAS into in your.....
HD/Library/Preference Panes....
After installing JDK7...
This is essentially the same thing as Frafa's answer, I'm just describing how to go about finding the JavaEssentials.pkg manually in case the link in his answer ever dies or a change in OSX versions renders the package from his link obsolete.
Launch the preference panel with this terminal command:
I can confirm that after installing 'Java for OS X 2012-006' on Mountain Lion, my Java Preferences disappeared as well.
The solution for me was to restore it from your Time Machine Backup.
It then works again fine.

SASS Errors in Version 1.1
Yesterday DavidGillespie inquired about getting help with SASS issues and Nicodemuz reported the same error:
As it turns out, his error is directly related to the 1.1 release. I can confirm this as well because after having updated from 1.0.1a to 1.1 I received an error when attempting to watch my SASS directory with Compass. My error was different, but I believe they're both related to the 1.1 release.
We collectively discovered two different errors:
1. DavidGillespie and NicoDemuz's error:
error myapp.scss (Line 24: Undefined mixin 'background-image'.) Sass::SyntaxError on line ["24"] of u: Undefined mixin 'background-image'.

Sencha upgraded Compass support to 0.11. There have been a few complaints (including from me) that it wasn't made explicit in the release notes about this breaking change. So you will need to upgrade Compass to the latest beta version. To do that (in Mac - but essentially the same in Windows) do this:
$ gem install chunky_png -v 0.12.0
$ gem install compass --pre
(I tried to install the latest version of chunky_png but 0.11 Beta 3 has a dependency on that particular version).
Hope that helps,
26 Mar 2011 3:21 PM #3
Thanks, stormin_walker. This almost did the trick for me. I ran the install for v0.12.0 of chunky_png as you recommended, but then got this error when trying to watch my SASS directory:
ERROR: Error installing compass: compass requires chunky_png (~> 1.1.0, runtime)
Mark Wyner, Partner, Bunker
26 Mar 2011 6:51 PM #4
Funny - there have been 2 new betas of Compass in the last 24 hours. My Beta 3 requires chunky_png 0.12 - am glad they've upgraded the dependency. Good to know for when I next do an update.
30 Mar 2011 2:43 AM #5
Confirming this fix
I can confirm that installing the chunky_png-1.1.0 gem and then re-installing compass worked. Thanks for this guys.
3 Apr 2011 5:28 AM #6
Thanks for this, worked for me as well on Windows.
Now, if only someone would write a worthy article on how best to use SASS with Touch so I would know what I am doing, rather than type and pray

The artisans who produce Bottega Veneta's handbags in Vicenza bring to their work certain intangibles-hundreds of years of local tradition, an intuitive understanding of the product, and a shared aesthetic sensibility that is not just Italian but specifically Venetian-that can't be replicated elsewhere.
Intrecciato was the starting point for Bottega Veneta's evolution and to this day continues to be one of the most recognizable elements of the brand. From nappa to crocodile to karung, the result is always the same.
