Hi everyone!
By some reason I can't manage to change the default user role under settings -> general. Maybe because we're using a plugin named "User role editor" (where you also can set the default role, but it doesn't work)
So what I'm trying to do here is to add an action to change the default role from author to contributor, but it still doesn't seem to work.
function set_default_user_role($user_id){
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
return $user->set_role( 'contributor' );
any ideas?

2007 Subaru Forester Wagon 2.5 X L.L.Bean Edition 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
I bought this car in July of 2007 and the combined city/road gas mileage was 24 mph. As of about 8000 miles, when it was supposed to be broken in and getting better gas mileage, it dropped to 17mph. I have had it checked and talked to the guys at the dealer only to be given a ton of excuses and suggestions. Like, use Premium gas, only use top of the line stations, mix the regular/premium gas and they couldn't come up with anything wrong with the car after checking the engine. Not only that, make sure you know the dealer service and don't let them over fill the oil. Mine was way over the fill line. Not happy with the SUB. Terrible carpeting and they won't replace it.
The storage in the dash.
Make sure your people know that white plastic is used and sprayed black on the dash. I had to have it resprayed and it is chipping again. Seats uncomfortable. Don't like any of the accelerators in the newer cars. Redesign center console.
I loved this car immediately for the feeling of being equal and "up there" with the big SUVs. It has the small car handling with the bigger car space. The gas mileage is adequate. I feel good in this car.
The seats are great. The visibility is great. Getting in and out is easy for my husband with a disability. The cargo area is great for a walker or for carrying my plants. I feel very safe in my car, which has great crash test results.
The cup holders and front compartments were better in my 2002 Forester. If it were more aerodynamic, it would get better mileage. The road noise factor is pretty high. The turning radius is pretty big. A rear door remote with be great for those of us with our hands full.
This is my first Subaru, but it won't be my last. I appreciate the features and attractive interior that come with the LL Bean model. The ride is quiet and smooth with responsive steering. It handles the hilly and curvy desert roads where I live quite nicely. The AWD leads to only a slightly stiffer ride as compared to my Camry, but I have found it to be less stiff than any of the other SUVs I tried (including Volvo). With the LL Bean model you get a lot of nice upgrades for a very reasonable price. The A/C also works very well in our extreme temperatures.
Climate control, panoramic moon roof, AWD, comfortable seats, safety features.
The visors need an extension to make them more effective when moved to the side. Carpet feels thin (but the mats are good).
This is my 2nd Forester and 3rd Subaru. I really love the control and ease of these cars. Deep snow doesn't bother them at all. I like that I don't have to push a button to use all wheel drive. My LL Bean is similar to my previous 2003 XS except it now has power seats. The new dual valve system has taught me to drive with a light foot, otherwise the mileage suffers. I also don't use my brakes as much because the engine slows the car down when you let up on the gas.
Climate control, 6 disc CD changer, vehicle reliabilty. I like that you can get as standard features a lot of items that are usually options on other cars. Safety features are a plus.
Mileage can always be improved. Lumbar support on the passenger side.
The Forester is a fun vehicle. It feels safe and capable, making wet or icy conditions a breeze. Cargo space is abundant, allowing space for necessities and toys. A bicycle will fit inside without removing a wheel. The one we have is my wife's; I want another one for myself.
AWD, comfortable interior and cargo space.
None - Subaru got it right!

Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus
- Studio: IFC Films
- Release Date: Jul 12, 2013
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
It's the kind of movie that takes you by surprise. By the time it's done, the honesty of the performances and the depth of character that's revealed is exhilarating.
Silva doesn't resort to any fancy tricks to depict his characters' inner experiences. But something happens nonetheless, a bonding of sorts that is almost, if not quite, convincing.
Chilean writer-director Sebastian Silva re-creates a youthful road trip with a head trip at the end in Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus, more character sketch than psychedelic sojourn.
It is a shaggy dog road movie, and a drug-hazy one at that, but beneath the silliness and character-based gags, Crystal Fairy is, I feel, an unusually insightful look at self-imposed false identities and group dynamics.
Crystal Fairy has little to say beyond Cera's capacity to transform into an amazingly uncomfortable screen presence, something we already knew.
Whether the San Pedro does its magic is of course the big question. Regardless, Silva works his, delivering not exactly the Holy Grail of road movies, but a very mellow summer high.
On their own, Crystal and Jamie might be two of the worst road-trip companions imaginable; when one gets going, it's easy to identify with the other's frustration. But together — fueled by drugs, forced to share a space, separated from what they take for granted — they reconsider how they value the people who are not ... them.
With barely a hint of trippy visuals, it captures the highs and lows of one mind-expanding surfside day.
The result is a movie that ambles and takes its time, never revealing where it's going.
Cera, still one of a kind and still making us love him for it (Arrested Development – yes!), never flinches. Jamie is impossible to like. And yet we do because Cera plays him without an ounce of bogus ingratiation. He's terrific.
It leaves you with provocative questions and memorable images rather than neatly wrapped answers, and with that feeling of imprecise mystery I remember so well from my own youthful experiences: Something beautiful and evanescent just happened, or almost happened. But you can't describe it, and if you try to seize it, it vanishes into sand and salt and sun.
There's so much baggage involved in the kind of dilettantish games Jamie and Crystal are playing that it's a shame that the film never fully engages with these enticing issues.
For a moment, Crystal Fairy looks like it's going to be a real fish-in-a-barrel satire, its rifles aimed at two very easy targets. But once a coked-out Cera invites Hoffmann on his road trip, a voyage he hopes will culminate with the consumption of a psychotropic cactus, the film gains a ramshackle quality that's difficult to resist.
Even with shaggy, semi-improvised projects like Crystal Fairy, there's a need for some kind of conclusion, and Silva devises one that's simultaneously terribly contrived and by far the most powerful scene in the movie.
As Jamie, an American drug tourist desperately seeking a hallucinogenic cactus, Michael Cera pours kerosene on his wet blanket slacker persona.
Sebastián Silva is extremely perceptive about body language, and the characters' physical presences are as revealing as their words. The performances give you an almost uncomfortable sense of proximity.
One of the most satisfying things about Crystal Fairy is that even though the lead character prefers to keep an ironic distance from things, the film itself is completely sincere. It's about being good to people even when they're kind of ridiculous.
The film is often beautiful and appealingly light. Every clear-eyed insight into why pushy people insist on pushing is matched by loose ensemble humor and lyric reveries.
Part drug comedy, part psychological drama, the movie is slight, but only superficially so. As the closing credits role, we're left not with a sense of a day at the beach, but of what might be swimming out there, in the dark of the abyss.

Dec 26, 2014This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. "Crystal Fairy" is a road trip taken by two of the ugliest Americans to ever trod a cinematic foreign country. Their goal: Mescaline and spiritual discovery – or closer to the truth, themselves.
Comedy star Michael Cera, Jamie, showcases trademark Allenesque neuroses, whining and flat affect in a role based on the experiences of Director Sebastián Silva. The reversal is Silva was a native while Cera is an interloper of whom it is asked, "Did you travel to (beautiful) Chile just for the San Pedro (the cactus harvested for Mescaline)?" The answer is a resounding yes, and there is nothing he won't do to get it, including stealing cactus from a lonely, mentally challenged woman.
Gaby Hoffman, Crystal Fairy, is a pontificating Sixties throwback who wanders about in the nude and chastises people about their food choices (while drinking Coke). She's also an unwanted (by Cera) barnacle clinging to the trip which includes three native brothers. (The scenes of the brothers trying to look like they're not gawking at the nude Hoffman in a hotel room are hilarious.)
Cera's performance is admirable but his usual one-note. Hoffman easily outshines him.
The improvised dialogue adds immediacy and verisimilitude while masking the bitter subtext; Neo-Colonialism and Financial Imperialism. Like "Tony Manero" (a film crediting thanks to Silva), United States' influence and interference lightly greases this story's wheels.
Unlike "Tony Manero," "Crystal Fairy" adds character arcs: Cera departs his obnoxious head to find self-acceptance and a heart recognizing Fairy's inner beauty; Fairy discovers her healing powers cannot reanimate a dead animal and the world just might not end in 2012. She also finds acceptance of the sexual abuse leading her to a life as a strap-on wearing Dominatrix.
The Chilean brothers are antithetical to the Gringos. Their portrayals are a given as they're natives of the country of the film's origin, but their counterpoint makes Cera and Hoffman all the more ridiculous.
To say "Crystal Fairy" is a comedy (stoner or otherwise), twisted love story or angry gringo-invective is to sell the film short. This is a sweet, abstract film with multiple layers and a few very fine moments. The film plants itself in the psyche – much like Mescaline. Giving in to the film's charms results in a feeling you actually tripped along.
Multiple viewings may help in understanding off-the-cuff lines delivered sotto voce. And the abrupt, unsatisfying ending is a shortcoming. There is a movement to cut to black and end films with ambiguity. To feed post-viewing conversation and debate? Whether lazy, uninspired, unmotivated or ill-advised, an ambiguous ending cheats the audience. ("The Birds" notwithstanding.)
A welcome respite to noisy, tent-pole, superhero entertainment, joining this troupe on the road is definitely worth the ninety minute trip – straight or high.… Full Review »

An electric shock to the heart (electrical cardioversion) may be needed if you are having severe symptoms of supraventricular tachycardia and your heart rate does not return to normal using vagal maneuvers or fast-acting medicines.
If you continue to have episodes that cause serious symptoms, a procedure called catheter ablation may be done during an electrophysiology (EP) study. During an EP study, the extra electrical pathway or cells in the heart that are causing the fast heart rate can often be identified and destroyed using catheter ablation.

Video from inside the Metrodome of the roof collapsing during a snow storm
The Sunday morning Fox NFL pregame show had some incredible video of the Minneapolis Metrodome roof collapsing earlier today. In the video you can see the collapse of the roof from video footage taken inside of the stadium. The Vikings have been lobbying for years for public funding for a new stadium, so you have to wonder if they're even all that upset about this turn of events since the video amply illustrates just how decrepit the Metrodome has become. The Metrodome is 28 years old, and it remains to be seen just how much it will cost to fix the stadium roof following this collapse.

The History And Context Of Chinese-Western Intercultural Marriage In Modern And Contemporary China (From 1840 To The 21st Century)
1.1 Brief Introduction
It is now becoming more and more common to see Chinese-Western intercultural couples in China and other countries. In the era of the global village, intercultural marriage between different races and nationalities is frequent. It brings happiness, but also sorrow, as there are both understandings and misunderstandings, as well as conflicts and integrations. With the reform of China and the continuous development, and improvement of China's reputation internationally, many aspects of intercultural marriage have changed from ancient to contemporary times in China. Although marriage is a very private affair for the individuals who participate in it, it also reflects and connects with many complex factors such as economic development, culture differences, political backgrounds and transition of traditions, in both China and the Western world. As a result, an ordinary marriage between a Chinese person and a Westerner is actually an episode in a sociological grand narrative.
This paper reviews the history of Chinese-Western marriage in modern China from 1840 to 1949, and it reveals the history of the earliest Chinese marriages to Westerners at the beginning of China's opening up. More Chinese men married Western wives at first, while later unions between Chinese wives and Western husbands outnumbered these. Four types of CWIMs in modern China were studied. Both Western and Chinese governments' policies and attitudes towards Chinese-Western marriages in this period were also studied. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, from 1949 to 1978, for reasons of ideology, China was isolated from Western countries, but it still kept diplomatic relations with Socialist Countries, such as the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. Consequently, more Chinese citizens married citizens of ex-Soviet and Eastern European Socialist Countries. Chinese people who married foreigners were usually either overseasstudents, or embassy and consulate or foreign trade staff. Since the economic reformation in the 1980s, China broke the blockade of Western countries, and also adjusted its own policies to open the country. Since then, international marriages have been increasing. Finally, this chapter discusses the economic, political and cultural contexts of intercultural marriage between Chinese and Westerners in the contemporary era.
1.2 Chinese-Western Intermarriage in Modern China: 1840–1949
In ancient China, there are three special forms of intercultural/interracial marriages. First, people living in a country subjected to war often married members of the winning side. For instance, in the Western Han Dynasty, Su Wu was detained by Xiongnu for nineteen years, and married and had children with the Xiongnu people. In the meantime, his friend Li Ling also married the daughter of Xiongnu's King[i]; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Wenji was captured by Xiongnu and married Zuo Xian Wang and they had two children.[ii] The second example is the He Qin (allied marriage) between royal families in need of certain political or diplomatic relationships. The (He Qin) allied marriage is very typical and representative within the Han and Tang Dynasties. The third example is the intercultural/interracial marriages between residents of border areas and those in big cities. As to the former two ways of intercultural/ interracial marriage in Chinese history, the first one happened much more in relation to the common people plundered by the victorious nation, while the second one was an outer form of political alliance. The direct reason for the political allied marriage was to eliminate foreign invasion and keep peace. In that case, when the second form went smoothly, the first form inevitably ceased, however, when the first form increased, the second form failed due to the war. Read more

The Irish government's Asia Strategy was initiated in 1999. It aimed to establish with Asian countries a coherent policy of engagement, on a political, economic, commercial, educational and cultural level. China was one of the countries identified as core in the Asia Strategy. Guided by the Asia Strategy political, economic, cultural, educational and social relations between Ireland and China have improved beyond recognition during the past ten years.
A decade after its inauguration the Asia Strategy is set to be revised to take account of the ever changing world. In this book for the first time, leading representatives from government, business and academia together revisit the Asia Strategy, examine its development and analyses it in the context of other European countries.
Following a Foreword by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the authors discuss the political process that led up to the strategy and the roles of various actors within the strategy, in terms of Ireland-China in particular. Together with its Appendix containing an overview of significant historical steps in bilateral relations, this book presents an informative and in-depth analysis on Ireland's Asia Strategy and its engagement with the emerging economies in the Asian region, especially China.
Fan Hong is Professor of Chinese Studies. She received her BA and MA in China and PhD at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. She was Chair in Chinese Studies at De Montfort University in UK before becoming the first director of the Irish Institute of Chinese Studies (UCC) since its funding in 2006 and first Head of School of Asian Studies since its founding in 2009. She has published extensively on Chinese historical and social issues.
J.C. Gottwald held positions at Free University Berlin and University of Trier before joining the UCC in 2006. He has published internationally on political and economic reform in China, European China policies and the politics of financial services regulation in Europe and China.

Chapter 1: Introduction – The Rise of China And The Irish Asia Strategy ~ The Irish Asia Strategy and Its China Relations
The People's Republic of China and the Republic of Ireland appear to have very little in common: the People's Republic of China – a huge, ancient civilisation with the largest population of all at the Eastern end of the Eurasian continent; and the Republic of Ireland – a small island at the opposite Western rim of Europe with only 4.4 million inhabitants. And yet, in spite of the vast difference in size, Ireland and China have an astonishingly rich and long history of bilateral exchanges. In recent years both countries have witnessed tremendous economic growth stimulating deep social changes. However, while the Celtic Tiger has seen his strength evaporate in the current economic crisis, China continues to be one of the centres of gravity for the global economy. Therefore, the incentives for Irish entrepreneurs, politicians and Irish society to look East are growing fast.
Asian economic, social and political transformation after World War II is without precedent. Asia emerged from a war-torn, colonial battlefield of European and American interests to the global powerhouse. Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea as the first two generations of 'Tiger Economies' set the tone for the biggest country, China to follow suit once the reform policies of the late Deng Xiaoping were introduced. The Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in December of this year is one the most important events in recent history. It is the defining symbol for a pragmatic departure from policies based on ideology and for a state-orchestrated and society-based model for policy-making that has tremendously improved the living conditions of the vast majority of the Chinese people. Without the political and economic change in China, the whole phenomenon called 'globalisation' would have been incomplete.
The consumer and productivity boom in the United States and Europe benefitted from cheap imports and competitive pressure from Asia in general and China in particular. The unique combination of authoritarian politics with pro-market reforms is questioning traditional 'Western' academic notions of democracy and economic order.
As a role model for states and societies, the 'Asian Model(s)' of economic development have a deep influence on preferences and policies world-wide. The combination of export based growth, political authoritarianism and limited social pluralism is proving increasingly attractive to governments and people all over Asia, Africa and Latin America.
For Europe and the United States, these developments are challenging. While very supportive of the first generation of emerging countries in Asia, the rise of China has been welcomed less unequivocally. The issue of engagement or containment of China as a potential global rival and desperately needed global partner is continuing while global issues need a truly global response – climate change, energy security, the fight against poverty, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the war against terrorism. Therefore, it is in the interest of European and American governments to seek close cooperation with China. At the same time, however, different preferences and norms underlying China's policies are counteracting over-optimistic approaches to liberal world politics. In any case, a better mutual understanding is of core significance. Read more
Chapter 2 – China's Economy And Enterprises ~ Part One: China's Economy: Achievements, Challenges, And Future Orientation ~The Irish Asia Strategy and Its China Relations
Speech at the International Forum: China in the 21st Century: Culture, Politics, and Business – Sha Hailin
Part One – China's economy: achievements, challenges, and future orientation
1. Remarkable economic achievements in China
Ever since reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in economic and social developments. The economy has grown rapidly, people's living standards have improved significantly, overall strength of the nation has been enhanced, and great progress has been made in social developments. In recent years, in particular, China has given greater priority to the quality of her economic growth and has taken a scientific approach, working towards comprehensive, harmonious, and sustainable development in the future.
1.1 High-speed growth over the past consecutive years
According to official statistics, aggregate GDP, over the past 28 years since China's reform and opening up, rose from USD 147.3 billion in 1978 to USD 2245 billion in2005, registering a 15.2-fold growth[i]. From 1979 through 2005, the GDP of China in real terms had an average annual growth of about 9.7% (based on comparable prices). During the same period, per capita GDP grew from USD 173 in 1980 to USD 1700 in 2005, registering a 10-fold increase.
Such speed is much greater than the high growth rate once achieved by Japan and other newly industrialized economies in Asia, and has created the biggest miracle in the history of world economic development. Japan experienced an annual economic growth of 3.85% during its golden period between 1971 and 1991, and Korea, Chinese Taiwan, and Malaysia witnessed an annual economic growth of 7.06%, 7.35%, and 6.53% in their respective economies between 1971 and 2003. [ppt 7] We can proudly say, "No county can beat China in terms of long-term sustained and high growth in its economy. It has taken China only 20-odd years to achieve what took other countries several decades or even more than a hundred years."[ii] After the newly-elected central government made a proposal to take a scientific approach towards a comprehensive, harmonious, and sustainable development, China's economy has taken on a momentum of fast and steady growth. According to preliminary data worked out in the 2006 Statistics Gazette of the People's Republic of China on National Economic and Social Development, China's GDP reached RMB 20940.7 billion, up 10.7% over the previous year (See Chart 1).
1.2 Optimization of industrial structure
Apart from the high level of economic growth, there has been a gradual optimization of industrial structure in China. Back in 1978, the proportion of the primary industry to GDP was 28.1%, secondary industry 48.2%, and tertiary industry 23.7%. By 2005, the primary industry dropped to 12.4%, secondary industry to 47.3%, with the rise of the tertiary industry to 40.3% [iii]. According to the Statistics Gazette, the added value of the primary industry amounted to RMB 2470 billion in 2006, up 5.0%; that of the second industry was RMB 10200.4 billion, up 12.5%; that of the tertiary industry stood at RMB 8270.3 billion, up 10.3%. The three industries account for 11.8%, 48.7%, and 39.5% of GDP[iv].
1.3 Opening wider to the outside world
Ever since the basic strategy was raised at the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee to promote economic and social development through opening up, China has been a very active player in international economic and technological cooperation and competition, and has opened further and wider to the outside world, seizing the opportunities brought by economic globalization. Especially since 2001, China's accession to the WTO has brought the Chinese domestic market closer to the international market, and greatly enhanced the interaction between our domestic economy and the world economy. Trade and investment have become the major forces driving the economic and social development of China.
During the 10th Five-Year Period (2001-2005), especially after China's entry into the WTO, trade and foreign investment in China increased significantly. Over the five-year period, total trade volume reached USD 4557.9 billion, with an average annual increase of 24.6%, among which exports totalled USD 2385.2 billion, with an average annual growth of 25%, and imports totalled USD 2172.7 billion, with an average annual growth of 24%. The paid-in amount of FDI was USD 274.1 billion, with an average annual growth of 8.2%. These figures show a significant increase in trade and investment over the 9th Five-Year Period (See Table 1) Read more
Chapter 2 – China's Economy And Enterprises ~ Part Two: Business Competitiveness In Which China's Economic Strength Is Based ~The Irish Asia Strategy and Its China Relations
Part Two: Business Competitiveness on Which China's Economic Strength IS Based
A nation's economic strength is based on the strength of its enterprises, which comes from their individual competitiveness. Therefore, the competitiveness of an enterprise forms the finest part of the foundation on which the competitiveness of a nation stands.
2.1 Reform, development and basic structure of Chinese enterprises
China maintains a basic economic system characterized by dominant state-ownership, and the co-existence of economic entities of various ownerships. Over the past two decades of reform to build the socialist market economic system, the market is becoming more dynamic and is playing a bigger role in ensuring a sustained and steady economic and social development. According to the first national economic census, out of 3.25 million legal-person entities in China by the end of 2004, there are 192,000 state-owned enterprises (including joint ownership, and exclusively state-owned enterprises), accounting for 5.9% of the total; 456,000 collective enterprises (including joint ownership and contractual cooperative enterprises), accounting for 14%; 406,000 other limited-liability and shareholding companies, accounting for 12.5%; 1.982 million private enterprises, accounting for 61%; 62,000 domestic enterprises (including state and collective partnership and other joint ownership enterprises), accounting for 1.9%; 152,000 foreign-invested enterprises and enterprises invested by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots, accounting for 4.7% (See Chart 7).[i]
The reform of state-owned enterprises is a key and central part of China's reform of its economic system. Starting from 1978, the reform experienced four stages, namely, decentralization, the separation of ownership and management, the establishment of a modern enterprise system, and national economic strategic restructuring.
The efforts made during the past two decades have solved four basic problems of system, pattern and structure, social positioning, and labour status. To be specific, with regard to system, state-owned enterprises have been successfully separated from the government, becoming a major independent player of the market with the government as the investor.
Regarding pattern and structure, most state-owned small and medium enterprises and 2/3 of the large and medium-sized enterprises have withdrawn from the structure. Regarding social positioning, the state-owned enterprises have turned from social entities in the past to economic entities, stripped of social functions. Regarding labour status, there is a contractual relationship between employees and the state-owned enterprises, following the law of the market.
While promoting and deepening the reform on state-owned enterprises, China encourages the development of non-public economies by breaking down institutional and policy barriers, implementing incentive and supportive measures, welcoming the participation of non-public economies in the reform of the state-owned enterprises, providing better services, and enhancing guidance and management of the non-public economies.
Since 1990s, the contribution of non-state economies to the national economic aggregate has been rising. The added value created by non-state economies exceeds 20% of GDP[ii]. In 2006, investment in fixed assets made by non-state economies accounted for 68.1% of the total social investment in fixed assets. Among the added value created by industrial enterprises with a large scale, non-state enterprises contributed 82.6% (including enterprises with shares held by the state) in 2006. Excluding enterprises with shares held by the state, the percentage was 64.4%. In terms of export and import volume, non-state enterprises contributed 80.3% and 71.5% respectively[iii]. Read more
Chapter 2 – China's Economy And Enterprises ~ Part Three: Sino-Ireland Friendly Cooperation And Mutual Development ~The Irish Asia Strategy and Its China Relations
Part Three: Sino-Ireland Friendly Cooperation and Mutual Development
There has always been a very good bilateral relationship between Ireland and China, maintained by exchange of visits between senior leaders, holding cultural festivals, promoting trade and investment, and enhancing cooperation in various fields and extensive exchanges between the two peoples.
Ireland enjoys a fine international reputation as the 'Silicon Valley of Europe'. As an open and knowledge-based economy, Ireland has amassed rich experience in how to seize the opportunities brought by globalization, successfully explore the pattern of opening up, rejuvenate the country through science and education, etc. China, as a country sharing similar experience in development, has a lot to learn from Ireland. There are many in-depth studies in China on leap-frog development, citing Ireland as a successful case. They try to solve the "Irish Mystery" so as to come up with references for China in pursuing her way of scientific development and independent innovation.
Enterprise Ireland has set up offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, in charge of promoting Ireland's export and investment to China. The Investment and Development Agency of Ireland, after setting up offices in Tokyo and Chinese Taipei, also established its Shanghai representative office, to attract Chinese investment to Ireland.
In recent years, China and Ireland have both made great achievements in national construction and the two countries have become closer than ever. Under the initiatives of the leaders of China and Ireland, with the promotion efforts made by the Ireland-China Association, Enterprise Ireland China Office, and the Representative Office of Investment and Development Agency of Ireland, our two countries have witnessed more fruitful results of the cooperation between us in economy and trade, investment, science and technology, exchange of personnel. In 2006, the bilateral trade volume between China and Ireland reached USD 5.46 billion, up 18.6% over 2005[i], representing a 10-fold growth in 5 years. Read more

Neversoft Confirmed to be Working on Call of Duty Game
Written Friday, June 15, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Neversoft is working on an unnamed Call of Duty title.
Confirmation comes via the studio's website, which is currently advertising for staff to join its CoD team. Among the roles available are single-player and multiplayer level designers, as well as concept artists and animators.
The splash page says, "We have molded our team into a crack squad of eager developers ready to push the First Person Action genre in support of Activision's Call of Duty franchise."
It's not the first time that Neversoft have been linked with the Call of Duty franchise. In September last year, job listings appeared at the studio advertising for AAA FPS developers.
At the same time an ad in Game Developers magazine encouraged applicants to "shoot into the future," using a font highly reminiscent of Activision's best-selling franchise.
Exactly what the game is remains unknown, however. The allusions to a future setting suggest that it relates to the Black Ops series, which recently announced a jump to 2025, but that's far from confirmed.
Whatever the result is, it's clear that Neversoft are well out of their comfort zone. Best known for creating the Tony Hawk series of skateboarding games, in recent years the studio has concentrated on developing Guitar Hero titles. They've never made an FPS.
It's also interesting to note that both of these franchises have suffered from overexposure in recent years and have dwindled in popularity. Ominous omens, perhaps?

All day, every day, theCHIVE brings you the funniest, the most outrageous, and the best photos and videos.
Little known facts about theCHIVE:
Little known facts about theCHIVE:
- You will never be bored at school or work again. Ever.
- 3 out of 5 dentists surveyed say theCHIVE app improves oral hygiene.
- Bathroom breaks will be much more entertaining.
- You will get more right swipes and give more left swipes.
- theCHIVE app promotes whirled peas.
- theCHIVE app is way funnier than this. Get busy downloading!
Probably was the best site in the world It may have been at one time but now it censored for the app user. Yes, you can log into the site and browse all the wonderful stuff taken from other places. And I may miss the app given time, but if it's up to the chive to decide what is okay for me to see its okay for me to say good by.
Quite possibly the greatest app. Ever. (See title.) Update 6/22/16: Downgraded from 5 stars to 2. Ugh... What happened?? The loss of classics like Daily Morning Awesomeness, DAR, and Hump Day have greatly reduced my enjoyment of this app and I suspect I am not alone in this assessment. I keep checking back in hopes the good people at The Chive came to their senses, but not to this point. They tried to fix something that wasn't broken and killed the Golden Goose in the process. RIP Chive. Good knowing you.
It would be great...If it worked. Can't view any content, app just instant crashes. This has been a problem with the Chive app for years. You'd think that a company that has the money to start its own beer line could manage a dirt-simple app. Guess not. Well bowled, Chive. Keep up the good work.
This app is so unpredictable. Just looked at it on my phone and tablet. Half of today's new galleries won't show up in the phone app. It's a data hog that can't load pics yet a streaming app will run just fine when I'm in the same location. Great charity idea. Maybe they should try and keep what people actually view running as well as their fundraisers.
Great content honest operators Love this app! They are always trying to make it better, and truly listen to the users. And when they mess up they admit it. They post some awesome content. The only problem with it is the app crashes or fails to load the posts. Then everyone and awhile I get to the end of an article and it doesn't let me click anywhere to continue to the next article
Nice try but..... Just when it seems that they fix one thing another one pops up. What's the point of having related posts when every time you click one it says that the post was not found? On top of that, can't follow posts chronologically since it always skips the next post. Fame/fortune is finally getting to the Chive. Nice try guys.

All calculated and planned. How to devalue a currency: limit the supply of goods, let prices rise, then increase the supply.
The Earth is clearly getting warmer and man, by burning massive quantities of fossil fuels, is clearly the reason. The only reason to deny global warming and climate change is to keep up short-term profits at the expense of destroying the planet's ecosystem.
Do you have any proof that "man" has caused global warming? Guess what, there isn't any. Global warming is about limiting production to make the cost of living go up or at the very least, not go down. We live in a world where technology continues putting upward pressures on all currencies, most of which are fiat. The only way to devalue is to price-fix. Global warming/carbon trading achieves this goal.
Cloud seeding isn't going to have a "massive" impact on weather. And it's too imprecise to use as some kind of economic "weapon."
So after 50 years, we've made no progress in weather modification technology? Looks like you're the loon.
As for the economic impact, well, here ya go buddy:
As usual, the trading is "insider" based.
"One Cell One Light: Rosalind Peterson on Weather Modification, Hedge Funds and Derivatives
September 14, 2011: Guest Rosalind Peterson
While controlling the weather is most often presented as fantasy, such as the super powers of Marvel Comics character Storm, modern technology has made it relatively easy to influence certain weather patterns. In fact, there are weather modification programs ongoing in over seventy countries throughout the world – including here in the United States. These programs are far from secret, as many are advertised and government-run. But what most people don't realize is the extent to which these programs can also influence our economy – and not in ways you'd expect."
"Welcome to the Weather Modification Section of the ADC Website
Weather modification has been ongoing for decades in the United States. It was perfected during the Vietnam War leading to the ENMOD Treaty signed by the United States. However, this has not stopped a whole host of weather modification programs and experiments being initiated or are now ongoing in the United States and with increasing frequency in many foreign countries.
The profound impact of these ever-increasing and highly sophisticated weather experiments and programs are radically changing our climate and local weather conditions in many areas. Your local weathermen are not reporting these events leading many to believe that some man-made weather is either extreme or unusual...thus, the public is unaware of many of these programs."
I meant to say, actively and *openly* modifying the weather. If you haven't found that out yet, try removing the rock that's above your head.
rotfl! Are you nuts or just trolling?
Boy, you are a d***ass. Just one example:
"Weather Modification Program New Draft Rules and Rulemaking Hearing The CWCB has drafted updated Colorado Weather Modification Rules and Regulations for the Department of Natural Resources. These rules are specific to the permitting of ongoing commercial weather modification operations in Colorado. "
And we know that governments and corporations are now actively modifying the weather.
You're kidding right? With what? A giant "laser" up on the moon?
I meant to say, actively and *openly* modifying the weather. If you haven't found that out yet, try removing the rock that's above your head.

The most commonly accepted definition of inflation is simply--rising prices.
So that means when we finally run out of fossil energy to power our machines, we will have "massive inflation." Even if it's really just a reflection of the fact that we won't be able to produce 1% of what we did before.
Yep. If you look back at the stagflation in the late 70s--much of it was attributable to oil prices...
both of you have no idea what inflation is... the change in price of any one commodity or asset class is NOT inflation or deflation. Inflation or deflation are changes in the amount of MONEY chasing all commodities and assets...
We have seen computers and many other items get much cheaper due to technological innovation, but that has nothing to do with deflation...
I respectfully disagree with Robert and I concur with tatupu70. While the correct definition of inflation is an expansion in the money supply, most people including top investors such as Marc Faber tend to describe it as rising prices. I myself don't care how much money is in circulation, and whether it is expanding or contracting is immaterial. What matters is the cost of living, which is usually rising. For the monetary purists vs. lay folks: inflation = price inflation. No need to argue over it.
Now as to why prices tend to go up, especially in the USA, for the most part, it's due to price manipulation, not supply and demand, at least, not in the long term. That is, supply chains are often disrupted temporarily to get prices to go up. But the supply usually recovers. The objective is to make prices "stick" at higher price levels.
1. Water quotas in California that create artificial shortages so agriculture prices are driven up. Once everyone has accepted the higher prices, quotas are lifted. If prices go down, quotas are reinstated.
2. Agriculture 2: bacteria scares are often used as an excuse to force farmers to dump millions of pounds of perfectly good fruits and vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, etc. Because of the (temporary) shortage, prices go up. After a few months, people will accept the higher prices and production will return. Don't forget this makes land prices go up too. So, if you (as a farmer) were planning on lowering prices after full production, your lease might now be higher.
3. Agriculture 3: "bad weather" is often used to temporarily limit the supply. And we know that governments and corporations are now actively modifying the weather.
4. Government sponsored "kill" programs for local cattle farmers to reduce the supply of beef, milk, etc. As local farmers are eliminated, shortages are created, prices go up, then corporate farms take over and eventually increase the supply. But at higher price levels, of course.
5. Over-hyped natural disasters (and manufactured disasters) such as the Indonesian hard drive shortage that was supposedly due to excessive flooding.
6. More on electronics: in 2006, all electronics mfgs were required to be RoHS compliant in the name of public safety. In actuality, RoHS compliance was/and still is about consumer electronic price-inflation. It has been estimated that electronics went up 10% on average.
7. Oil prices are driven up in different ways: middle eastern instability, environmentalists/regulators responding to phony disasters such as the gulf platform explosion, etc. In the case of oil spills, the people will demand: "something must be done!" Then politicians are used to demonize the oil industry. The solution: shut down the refineries. In other words, shut down production so prices can go up.
8. Energy: phony disasters such as the Fukushima nuclear plant flooding. The intention was to shutdown the Fukushima plant and many others in Japan and around the world. Grand purpose? Make energy prices up.
I can go on and on. The point is, price-inflation is usually the result of price-fixing, not supply and demand. This is how governments devalue their currency.
It's not the interest rate. It's affordability, which is determined by total household income (or whoever is paying the mortgage). And you must inflation adjust all variables.
You can make a case for any outcome (house prices up or down) if you only pick one variable.
Example: inflation -3%, total household income +5%, interest rates +2%. Then you can say, Golly Gee! See, aw told you, houses prices go up when interest rates go up!!! Hardy harrr.
Reverse example: inflation -3%, household incomes -15% (layoffs, depression, etc), interest rates at -3% = house prices go down!
A more realistic example: inflation +7%, household incomes +5%, interest rates +3%: house prices go up. Obviously they'll go up because affordability goes up.
On the other hand, this what a lot of people believe today: inflation +%6, household incomes +1%, interest rates +2% = houses prices go down.
Why is it that places with basically no democracy or human rights (Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezeuela) have all the oil?
Because we want it that way, Patrick.
ALL GONE!! I think we now pay over 50% of our income to taxes. Why even bother working hard??
We have an appt with a new CPA on thursday to see if we can get our tax structure reworked so we can keep more of our money and finally buy a house!!
The solution is to raise the capital gains taxes on ultra high net worth individuals. And to quit getting into endless wars that we can't win.
Eventually we'll need to introduce euthanasia since we won't be able to afford care of all the baby boomers.
Here we go with the capital gains tax. Do any of you realize that much, and in some cases all of the capital gains are inflation?
You buy shares for $100,000
18.5 years later you sell at $200,000
With the historical annual rate of inflation of 3.5%, over those 18.5 years your purchasing power is reduced by 50%.
Net gain in real terms = $0.00
In nominal terms = $100,000
Now you pay a tax of $15,000!?
With this type of investment you lose 7.5% of your purchasing power. Better than losing 50%, but still, you lose.
And people want to raise capital gains taxes!???
Do you not realize this is a game the government plays: wealth confiscation through inflation?
How are all these people only paying 24% taxes over 200k? My husband is a "salaried partner" who works 80 hours per week, and finally got a raise last year after 5 years of building a business to 12 employees including 7 lawyers. All of his raise went to taxes. Not only does the govt take about 44% per paycheck, they asked for another 26k on April 15 which was the money we saved to put toward a downpayment on a house. ALL GONE!! I think we now pay over 50% of our income to taxes. Why even bother working hard??
We have an appt with a new CPA on thursday to see if we can get our tax structure reworked so we can keep more of our money and finally buy a house!!
The reason it's showing 23% is probably because of deductions like real estate depreciation for investment properties. Sadly, it's only a temporary tax reduction because when you sell, all that depreciation is "recaptured". So their real tax rates are higher.
I can only imagine how many loopholes they exploited to get it down to that number: 23% !!! 'Believe that?? A mere 23% while everyone else is paying 5%-14% !!!!
The poor people also pay the 7% Social Security Tax.
The chart only shows >$200k. It includes some poor people who make less than $1 million.
If you look at >$10 million, the tax rate is only 15%.
Someone who makes $200K a year and has over a million in assets is a "millionaire". Isn't that who you want to raise taxes on? If it's 10-millonaires and over then why don't you socialists say it from the start? Most millionaires that I know are paying far more than 23% in taxes.
I can't believe this! Everyone is paying between 5%-14% while the top tier is paying only 23%!!!! Those rat bastards!
I can only imagine how many loopholes they exploited to get it down to that number: 23% !!! 'Believe that?? A mere 23% while everyone else is paying 5%-14% !!!! Raise their taxes!!! Make 'em pay their fair share!!! Come on... everyone else does!
They're supposed to adjust for size, but I'm not 100% sure. Relative to the rest of the world, food prices are actually still too cheap. Or you could say the rest of the world is paying too much. Back in the 60's 24% of Americans were overweight. Today over 60% are overweight. In 2011 there was a slight decline. I wonder why...
"For the first time in more than three years, more Americans are a normal weight (36.6%) than are overweight (35.8%)."
Note: 27.6% are obese. So the majority are still overweight.
The very headline is manufacturing consent:
"Disagree with how the official statistics are measured, and you're a conspiracy theorist on par with Moon Landing Deniers."
Using substitute goods is a valid principle, but unnecessary when measuring CPI.
The principle of substitute goods will effect the price of the item being tracked, so there is no good reason to 'switch' to tracking a substitute good. And then you are no longer measuring the price of the original good or service.
So there is no reason to incorporate that into CPI metrics - unless one is trying to make inflation look lower than it is.
Homo Economicus. A Legendary Creature, like Bigfoot, claimed to exist by Pseudoscientists.
Conspiracy theorist!
It's a propaganda piece. Why stop at bananas, how about the entire produce dept, then the meat dept? The truth is, there's even more inflation than people realize, waiting to be unleashed. Producers have been eating higher input costs for a long time now.
Anyhow, since they're talking out of the rears, I'll make this observation: back in 1994 Charmin Toilet Tissue 4 PK cost $1.89 for an everyday discounted price. Today it's $3.89. Annual rate of inflation after 18 years: 4.1%. BLS's claim: 2.46%.
Rowemore, you do pay a lot more on FICA, with both spouses self-employed. I'm the sole earner at a w2 job so pay much less FICA than you do. The worst case for that would be a dual-self-employed where both spouses make $100k. They'd pay around 15% in FICA alone, before fed and state tax. Whereas a sole earner making 200k with a stay-home spouse would pay about 6% since SS tax only goes to 100k. That doesn't seem fair.
I have a friend, trust fund baby, who makes more than twice what I make and pays much less in federal taxes. Investment income.
And he should pay much less. Chances are the money he's receiving from his trust was already taxed once. Are you in favor of double taxation? Everyone should realize the reason we have estate taxes is to keep the upper middle class and quasi millionaire (5-10 mil) from rising up to the level of the 100+ millionaire and billionaire elites. For obvious reasons. Socialist policies discourage investment and hard work and more importantly: competition, which is a perfect thing for bigwig socialists like Warren Buffett.
Housing casino,
Can I ask, how can you pay more than 45%? The highest I can imagine is 35% fed, 9% ca, 2.9% Medicare if one is self employed and pays both ends of Medicare tax. The total is 46.9%, but on income over 388k, and assuming no deductions whatsoever. So it looks really difficult to pay this much. I make mid six figures (I won't claim to be middle class with such income), pay about 23% fed and 8% ca, due to deductions. But I don't really have anything warren buffet-like; no carried interest, not much capital gains, no real estate depreciation.
Please educate me, I really don't see how someone could pay that high percentage in taxes under current law.
California tax rate does not max out at 9.3%.
I think its easy to say taxes should be higher if you are not already paying 43.9% (federal and state), like I am.
Well you're lucky. Many of us are paying more than that. And that doesn't include property taxes, sales taxes, hidden taxes (fuel, energy, etc). But in the end, I guess it really doesn't matter because the rich always find a way to pass the tax burden onto the citizens. Either through rent increases (property owners), price hikes (business owners), and layoffs/pay cuts/wage freezes/etc. The ultra rich understand this dynamic, that's why the majority are socialists. Go ahead, vote for taxing the rich. That's what was sold to everyone before the introduction of the Income Tax. It was only meant for rich people. Now everyone pays it. The AMT was only meant for a certain group of rich people, which were in the hundreds back in the 70's, but now 10s of millions of Americans are paying.
If you want to make the argument that capital gains should be raised, I can perhaps see an argument to that.
Anyone who thinks that capital gains tax is too low should consider inflation-adjusting these supposed gains. What if your investment only keeps up with inflation? Suppose you keep $100,000 in the bank for 10 years and there is no inflation, would it be right for the government to take $15,000 because one day you decide to pull the money out?
"I have known that Limbaugh and other Right-wingers have been lying and finally decided to present the facts in graphical form, as shown below."
And by calling republican right-wingers liars are you suggesting that left-wingers are honest?

My Heroes
- Artists Audio Soul Project, The Cushion
- Release Date 2011-12-14
- Labels Fresh Meat
- Catalog FMR46
- Description The Cushion (Scott Brandon) is a dance music artist who works from Chicago. We know him from parties and mutual friends, but did not know his music until recently. Scott's music reflects his roots. He grew up near Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan and moved to Chicago several years ago. Scott is one of those musician/DJ introverts who creates cerebral house that really works on the dance floor. Both tracks featured here are musical and have moving rhythm sections. Scott's relatively quiet years spent in the studio (he has a release on Spectral) and time spent DJing around the midwest have helped him develop a focused sound, reflected in the songs on this release. In an unfortunate turn of events, the unmixed audio for both tracks were lost. As a result, Mazi's (Audio Soul Project) snappy edit uses whole sections from the original song.

Editor's Note: ESPN Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook to provide a comprehensive look at all 326 Division I teams. To order the complete 25th anniversary edition of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, visit www.blueribbonyearbook.com or call 1-866-805-BALL (2255).
(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
When was the last time a team ranked last in the conference in scoring offense and won the regular season championship?
Look at the statistics and the conclusion might be that "Professor Hoops" knows an awful lot about basketball.
At a time when college players want to run up and down the floor and dunk and have their highlights in the Top 10 plays, clever Charlie Coles, the MAC's coach of the year in 2005, continues to preach a winning style of basketball that resists the temptation of individualism. Make it a half court game, play hard-nosed defense, out-execute the opponent, and win by playing tougher and smarter. How else do you explain it?
For four straight years, Miami has been last in the MAC in scoring. The RedHawks' composite conference record over that period: 44-28. Go figure. The last three seasons, Miami is 12-7 in games decided by three points or less and overtime.
Miami was a senior-led team last season. Forward Danny Horace (15.4 ppg, 9.5 rpg) and guard Chet Mason (13.4 ppg, 7.6 rpg) were first-team All-MAC selections. One of those rare close losses came at home in the first round of the NIT—a 60-58 decision to TCU. Miami finished 13-1 at Millett Hall.
Miami ranked first in the MAC in scoring defense (61.3) and rebounding margin (+6.5), and second in field-goal percentage defense (40.7). Oddly enough, Miami ranked last in steals (5.2) and turnover margin (-2.6).
Coles, 63, is an old-school coach who connects with modern-day players. He is a fatherly figure, demanding fundamentals and discipline from his squad.
"There is a certain comfort level with [Coles] even if you've just met him … like you've known him your whole life," former Miami star Damon Frierson said.
One of the more popular coaches in the MAC, Coles continues to teach a nine-week course in Basketball Theory and was dubbed "Professor Hoops" by Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl. The Miami media guide refers to Coles as "The Bill Cosby of College Basketball."
The question in 2005-06 is can Charlie reach into his bag of tricks and do it again?
"Losing our top two scorers in Danny Horace and Chet Mason, obviously we are going to need to have players step up and find a way to score some points," Coles said. "But I definitely believe it is possible from this group.
"If you look at it, we've got a lot of experience with several players who have been able to play significant minutes over the past few years, which I hope will be an asset."
The starters returning fill key positions. Senior William Hatcher (10.0 ppg, 2.9 apg), a 6-2 point guard, is a great place to start. Athletic junior Nathan Peavy (7.0 ppg, 3.9 rpg) is a prototypical 6-8 small forward. Bulky junior Monty St. Clair (6.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg), a 6-9, 248-pound center, can shoot from long range, but is a physical presence in the middle.
Hatcher took over the point-guard duties last season as Mason moved to the off-guard slot and Josh Hausfeld was used coming off the bench. Renowned as a clutch three-point shooter, Hatcher had eight games with at least three-point baskets, including a five-for-six game against Buffalo.
"I'm used to having a point guard play a lot of minutes," Coles told the Cincinnati Enquirer last February. "[Hatcher's] endurance has to get better, and he's got to get consistent."
Hatcher, out of Flint, Mich., was Miami's Most Improved Player as a sophomore. Rutgers and Miami were his final two schools in his recruitment. His cousin, Charlie Bell, won the NCAA title with Michigan State in 2000.
Peavy is a Dayton, Ohio product and a special athlete who will blossom the next two seasons. He shot better than 50 percent from the floor and demonstrated an ability to make three-point shots. He had 15 blocks and a team-high 15 points in the MAC semifinal loss to Ohio. His father, the late Terry Peavy, was one the greatest prep players ever to come out of Dayton and was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wears No. 31 in honor of his dad.
St. Clair, like so many big guys these days, can step beyond the arc and knock down three-point shots (58-for-144, 40.3 percent career). He'll need to improve his free-throw shooting, rebounding, and his footwork on defense. St. Clair and his teammates at Roger Bacon High denied LeBron James a run of four Ohio high school state titles.
"I think one of our biggest assets is having a lot of depth," Coles said. "Last year we had good depth and were able to play more players for longer. I think we can go farther with that this year."
One player who might step into Horace's spot at forward is Tim Pollitz (2.1 ppg, 1.4 rpg), a 6-5, 235-pound sophomore, who won a state championship at Ottawa-Glandorf (Ohio) High School.
"We are expecting good things from Tim Pollitz," Coles said. "He's unique. He's a little bit of everywhere [in terms of where he can play on the floor]. He doesn't look like he can run, but he runs like crazy."
Pollitz's fraternal twin, Eric Pollitz, opted for a red-shirt last season. He's a 6-5, 216-pound swingmn.
Senior Nate VanderSluis, a 6-11, 284-pound center, will back up St. Clair. VanderSluis had eight points and four rebounds in a 65-58 win over Wichita State last winter.
Three veterans will vie for the starting two-guard position. All three have three-point capability. Josh Hausfeld (5.7 ppg, 1.4 rpg), a 6-3 senior, started all 29 games in 2003-04, but battled nagging injuries and wound up coming off the bench last year.
Doug Penno, a 6-5 junior, had a 21-point game at Eastern Michigan and is a deadly three-point shooter (29-for-60, 48.3 percent last season). He needs to add strength so he can become a more effective defender.
Another three-point marksman is Chad Troyer (1.4 ppg, 0.8 rpg), a 6-4 sophomore, out of Seattle, Wash. Troyer is a combo guard and had 11 points [three treys] in a season-opening win over Purdue.
Troyer is the prime candidate to backup Hatcher at point. "Chad is also probably the best passer on the team," Coles said. "I think you'll see a big improvement in [Troyer]. He plays with great confidence. I think he'll have some big scoring nights for us."
Red-shirt freshman Lawrence Ross, a 6-3 guard from Battle Creek, Mich., is blessed with a 41-inch vertical jump and could figure into the mix. "Other than Danny Horace, Lawrence Ross is our most explosive player," Coles said.
"I expect at least one of [our freshmen] to be among our top six players," Coles said.
Michael Bramos, a 6-5 guard, would seem the one most capable of playing at that level. Runnerup for Michigan's 2005 Mr. Basketball out of Harper Woods, Bramos "has a good chance to start. If he's healthy, he's going to play,'' Coles said. "He shot the ball really well this summer."
From a strength and development standpoint, Tyler Dierkers, a 6-8 forward-center, and Adam Fletcher, a 6-9 forward, are probably a year away. The best one of the two may play behind Pollitz at power forward.
Blue Ribbon Analysis
In a span of one year, Miami went from being the MAC's weakest three-point shooting team to being one of the best (207-of-552, 37.5 percent, fourth in the MAC). The RedHawks return most of these long-range bombers, five players who hit at least 16 triples last season, not including Troyer, another potential shooter. This will make MU extra difficult to guard as Coles' team grinds through possessions and patiently waits for an open look on the perimeter.
Miami's roster is guard heavy. The RedHawks lack a true post threat. St. Clair and VanderSluis will take turns at center. Both play hard but are slow up the court and foul too much. It's really not an option to play them at the same time. Consequently, the development of Tim Pollitz is key to Miami's season. His size and ability are needed at power forward.
Expect Hatcher to have a solid season. Peavy and Bramos are budding stars. There is plenty of depth on the perimeter.
The RedHawks will play sound defense and frustrate their opponents. It would be a bonus if Miami could turn its foes over more than 11 times per game.
Coles' nine-year MAC Tournament record at Miami is 16-8, and come March you have to figure the RedHawks to be in Cleveland. Tradition is Miami's biggest intangible and that comes from being the MAC's most successful program over 58 seasons (21 titles and a 536-305 mark, 63.7 percent).
