|Celtics snubbed again
|02.04.09 at 4:08 pm ET
Less than 24 hours after Ray Allen drained a game-winning three over the Philadelphia 76ers, he was not named to the 2009 Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout. It is the second time in a week that Allen has been snubbed. Last Thursday he was overlooked as a reserve on the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
Sharpshooter Eddie House was also left out of the shootout, despite his recent hot streak in which he shot 22-for-32 over a four-game stretch. He has also made more three-point attempts this season than any of the contestants.
Here is a look at who did make the team, compared to Allen and House: (As of February 4)
Eddie House, Boston: 144 – 339 (42.5%)
Rashard Lewis, Orlando: 137 – 327 (41.9%)
Danny Granger, Indiana: 120 – 299 (40.1%)
Ray Allen, Boston: 120 – 293 (39.8%)
Mike Bibby, Atlanta: 114 – 279 (40.9%)
Daequan Cook, Miami: 105 – 256 (41.0%)
Roger Mason, San Antonio: 103 – 229 (45.0%)
Jason Kapono*, Toronto: 52 – 124 (41.9%)
* Defending champion
|Davis jumps into new role
|02.03.09 at 11:28 pm ET
While Ray Allen was the hero of the Boston Celtics dramatic win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, the Cs would not have been in striking distance if it weren't for one player stepping up in Kevin Garnett's absence. For the second straight game, Glen Davis has thrived in his role as the Celtics starting power forward.
Davis posted 12 points (6-11 FG) and 11 rebounds against the 76ers (RECAP HERE). Of his six field goals, only one came in the paint. On Sunday, he added 12 points (5-12 FG) and six rebounds against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Davis isn't just attacking the hoop like a traditional big man. Big Baby is getting the job done with his jumper.
'I think it's going to help my game tremendously,' Davis said recently. 'If I can spread the floor for my team … I can move up to the four, pick and roll to help out with Paul (Pierce), and hit the jumper. I kind of just train myself to be ready to hit that big shot.'
His preparation paid off when he hit knocked down a 17-footer with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter. The basket brought the Celtics back within three and sparked an 8-to-4 run to close out the game.
This season Davis has developed a knack for mid-range jumpers. Even though the majority of his baskets have come at the rim ' his biggest responsibility is attacking the glass ' he has been in the zone away from the paint. He entered Tuesday's game shooting nearly 50% from just inside the arc and almost 40% from the top of the key. Davis has made it a point to fit his jumpshots into his training regimen.
'It doesn't take that long [in practice],' he said. 'I might go 30 minutes hard, just jumper, jumper, jumper, jumper, and get mine in for the day. I just try to do it every day.'
Davis' shot has been a work in progress over the years, according to his childhood friend, Dallas Mavericks forward Brandon Bass. The two also played college basketball together at LSU. Bass has seen Davis transform from a banger to a finesse player. It's a move that was necessary for the 6-foot-9 forward to adapt as an undersized big man in the NBA.
'He never had a bad jumpshot,' Bass said. 'He always could shoot it, but he wasn't necessarily a jumpshooter. He was more of a guy you could throw it to on the block and he could get you a bucket, or he'd eat the glass up and get an offensive rebound. When I left [LSU in 2005] he developed a jumpshot a little more.'
Garnett (flu) is expected to return for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. While Davis won't get as many looks off the bench, this extra playing time has helped his confidence with his shot. The skills are there; now it's just a matter of showcasing them when given the opportunity.
'I feel like I always had the talent to do a lot of things,' Davis said. 'It's just all about working on them and doing them. But I always in college had flashes of myself taking the ball up the court, playing at a smaller position than the power forward and the center. So I know I can do it. It's just about going out there and doing it and having confidence and working on it consistently.'
|A closer look at House's streak
|01.30.09 at 12:58 am ET
Eddie House has been unstoppable from behind the arc, knocking down eight three-pointers against the Sacramento Kings this week. So just how well is House playing? It's the best basketball of his nine-year career.

House isn't just topping his personal bests. He and Ray Allen are the only two players this season to hit eight three-pointers in a single game. He is also shooting better this season than those who once ruled from behind the arc.

|Scal out, TA back and Kings up…
|01.27.09 at 3:14 pm ET
The Celtics had a longer than normal practice on Tuesday at their training facility in Waltham.
Here are some nuggets from the day.
Brian Scalabrine, who already was dinged up from a mild concussion on Sunday during the win against Dallas, took a serious shot to the head from Patrick O'Bryant and had to be taken off the court and given medical treatment. He was having pain from the light and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento by head coach Doc Rivers, who added they might have to check with the Patriots for advice.
Tony Allen looked "great" to Rivers and with Scalabrine being out, will likely return for the first time since spraining his right ankle on Jan. 4 in New York against the Knicks.
Rivers said he will remind his team that they embarrassed the Kings by 45 points on Dec. 28 in Sacramento (their lone win on the West Coast swing) because "every team in the league has pride" and they will be "out to show that that game was a fluke."
Here is the audio version of the above.
Rivers said Scal's second concussion in four days is not good.
Rivers explains what happened to Scal.
Rivers said the Kings will show their pride.
Rivers was happy with what he saw from Tony Allen.
Ray Allen explains what he saw when Scal got hurt.
|Sounds of the game… Celtics 124, Mavericks 100
|01.25.09 at 8:09 pm ET
Another Western Conference team makes the trip to Boston and wonders why it even bothered.
Lakers Game 6, 2008 NBA Finals. Portland on Dec. 5. Phoenix last Monday. The Dallas Mavericks were the latest team on Sunday to quit in the middle of a game, knowing they were hopelessly out of it. It's pretty sad to watch, actually.
The Celtics should get all the credit in the world for taking all of the heart out of the competition early and that's what Ray Allen, Eddie House and every player in green and white was talking about afterward. That, and the fact that the team is passing so well right now that they are playing at a level even HIGHER than during the 19-game winning streak. Wow.
The Celtics shots 66 percent in the first quarter, 65 percent for the first half, led by 32 points in the second quarter and 35 in the third quarter. They could've played Gino on the big screen at the end of one. It was THAT bad.
Now, the Sacramento Kings head to Boston for a match-up on Wednesday. You remember them, don't you? The Western Conference team that kept it close in the pre-game warmups before losing by 45, 108-63, in Sacramento on Dec. 28. One can only hope for a competitive, if not close game this time around. But forgive me if my expectations aren't very high.
Doc Rivers said the team is playing well together right now.
Kevin Garnett said the team is playing better than in its 19-game winning streak.
Eddie House said the Celtics have been moving the ball well of late.
Ray Allen said the Celtics have re-discovered their killer instinct.
Allen said the 19-game winning streak is a blur right now.
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said the Celtics just blew them off the court.
Jason Kidd says the Celtics have been doing a great job with the early knockout punch.
|A Big All-Star Push
|01.23.09 at 9:47 am ET
When is there a possibility that 22 points and nearly 11 rebounds per game not good enough for an All-Star selection? When you play on the 13-27 Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Big Al" Jefferson has been quietly running up the leaderboards since being traded from the Boston Celtics in July of 2007. His performance, which includes 22 double-doubles, went relatively unnoticed in fan voting. So the T'Wolves are doing everything they can to make sure Jefferson receives the recognition he deserves in spite of their losing record.
The organization has less than a week to win the votes of the Western Conference coaches who will vote on All-Star reserves. They have developed a marketing campaign ' 'Big Al's Road Trip: Navigating his way to Phoenix' ' and mailed each coach a Sony GPS device. The devices have been named the 'Double-Double Machine' and play a highlight video set to Lupe Fiasco's 'Superstar.'
"It would mean a lot," Jefferson told the media. "Just growing up, before I even knew I was going to be an NBA player, just watching the All-Star games on TV you always wanted to be there as a kid. Me having that chance to make it, it would mean a lot to me. It's something I could talk about for the rest of my life."
All-Star reserves will be revealed next Thursday, January 29. Celtics Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, and Kendrick Perkins are also on the Eastern Conference ballot. Kevin Garnett was named as a starting forward for the East.
|Uncovering Allen's Game
|01.19.09 at 12:13 pm ET
Ray Allen makes basketball look easy. He could knock down three-pointers in his sleep, right? Allen is featured on the cover of the latest issue of The Improper Bostonian, where he explains that his game isn't as effortless as it seems.
A long time ago, somebody told me that they thought God had blessed me with a jump shot, and the ability to be a great NBA player. That surprised me. I was like, 'Do you really believe that?' God blessed me with health, a healthy family and the ability to go out and find for myself what I wanted to do. He granted me with the competitive drive to want to be the best and the sound mind to accomplish my goals. But that came through focus and dedication, not from some Godgiven right.
Allen's dedication to his professional and personal life made him an easy choice for the cover story. Away from basketball he is involved with the Joslin Diabetes Center, where his son Walker received treatment for Type 1 Diabetes.
"Since it's our Man issue, Ray Allen seemed like the perfect fit," said Megan Lisagor, editor of The Improper Bostonian. "He embodies the qualities of a good guy–dedicated on the court to his craft and off the court to causes like juvenile diabetes. He's focused and humble. Not to mention, he's incredibly smooth!"
This issue of The Improper Bostonian hits newsstands this week.

on August 11, 2012 - 11:06 PM
, updated August 30, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Big winner: Marcos Ambrose, who went from third to first on one lap to become the fourth driver to win back-to-back Sprint Cup races at Watkins Glen International and put his No. 9 Ford team back in contention for a wild-card postseason spot.
Record book: Ambrose becomes just the fifth driver to win more than one Cup race here, joining quite a nice club that includes Tony Stewart (five), Jeff Gordon (four), Mark Martin (three), Ricky Rudd (two) and Rusty Wallace (two). Martin, Gordon and Stewart have also gone back-to-back.
Sponsor bait: The race might have been without a sponsor, but attendance appeared up from recent years, and the announced attendance (90,000) backed it up.
Deja vu all over again: In last year�s race, Ambrose was first, Keselowski was second and Kyle Busch (who this time went from first to seventh on the last lap) was third.
Most stupefying deja vu: Tony Stewart (who finished 19th) spun out in Turn 11 all by himself. It was perhaps the most surprising unforced error at the Glen since Gordon spun out while leading late in the 2007 race.
The King hath spoken: Richard Petty, car owner for Ambrose, on his driver�s last-lap moves: �You do the best you can, then you try to take advantage of the circumstances. That�s what Marcos did today. He didn�t create none of those circumstances; he took advantage of those circumstances.�
Distracted driver: Last year, Keselowski stopped mid-sentence during his media center news conference because he was watching video of a skirmish between Boris Said and Greg Biffle. This year he paused again because he was watching replays of the final lap (no one could blame him).
Scariest crash: For the first time in recent memory, there was no qualifier for this category. There were just four cautions for 13 laps, two for single-car accidents and two for oil on the track.
Safety schooled: After two hard, multi-car crashes in last year�s race, there was quite a bit of discussion that the Glen needed to do more for safety around the track. The track did, including different fencing and runoff setups.
�They did a great job correcting the issues they found,� said Ambrose. �They actually made the track faster. A lot of the curbs on the inside, they�ve added some concrete in there, so it allows us to run through the Inner Loop a lot faster.�
Points leader update: Dale Earnhardt Jr. was said to be back after two weeks atop the points, but he finished 28th to drop to fourth. Jimmie Johnson finished third to put him in a familiar position: First (up from fourth).
�Whoever the team is, I think they get some much-needed experience with the pressure of the points lead late in the season. It�s just different than leading at any other point in time. I look forward to the pressure on my team and myself,� said Johnson.
Chase update: The top 10 remained the same but were shuffled around. Greg Biffle (now second) and Matt Kenseth (third) switched spots; Keselowski moved up two spots to fifth; Martin Truex Jr. dropped one spot to sixth; Clint Bowyer continued his road-race acing this season (he won at Sonoma) with a fourth-place finish that moved him to seventh; Stewart dropped two spots to eighth; Kevin Harvick stayed in ninth and Hamlin dropped two spots to 10th.
Wild-card update: There are four races to go before the field for the 10-race postseason is set, and the 11th and 12th spots (which go to the drivers with the most wins) had a shake-up. Kasey Kahne is still 11th with his two wins, but the 12th spot is now owned by the one-win driver with the most points, which is now Ryan Newman (he finished 11th and is now 13th in points). Jeff Gordon had held the 12th spot.
Toughest talk/emptiest threat: During the Nationwide race on Saturday, Joey Logano was spun out by Carl Edwards, leading him to pledge over his radio: �If I can get to Carl Edwards, I�m going to wreck him.� Edwards ended up winning (but did acknowledge fault in the incident).
Major sports weekend upstate next year: The Glen�s 2013 date has not been announced, but if it is held on its traditional dates (Aug. 9-11), it will share its weekend with next year�s PGA Championship in Rochester.

Stocks Close Higher Again
Shares drifted up Thursday as investors took stock of a Greek refinancing deal and continued improvement in the U.S. labor market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 6.51 points, or 0.1%, to 12890.46. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 1.99 points, or 0.1%, to 1351.95, and the Nasdaq Composite edged up 11.37 points, or 0.4%, to 2927.23.
Technology and consumer-staple stocks led sector gains. United Technologies UTX 0.06 % was strongest among Dow members, rising 2.5%.
Stocks received an initial boost after Greek leaders reached a consensus on austerity measures to secure a bailout. If the deal is adopted, Greece will receive $172 billion to keep it from defaulting on debts next month. Final details are still being worked out.
"There's some optimism about Europe. I don't know whether it's justified or not from one day to the next," said John Carey, portfolio manager at Pioneer Investment Management in Boston. "I think people are probably waiting for the details. There've been so many stories in the past that the issue was resolved, so people are rightly skeptical until the details are there."
In the U.S., separate readings on jobs and business activity were better than projected. Initial unemployment claims fell more than expected last week, down 15,000 to 358,000, compared with a consensus estimate of 370,000. And U.S. wholesale inventories rose 1% to $473.17 billion in December from the prior month, more than the expected 0.5% increase, a signal businesses restocked at the end of last year to meet rising demand.
European markets rose on news of the Greek deal but pared earlier gains. The Stoxx Europe 600 added 0.2%, its first gain in four sessions. Asian exchanges were mixed after an unexpected increase in the Chinese inflation rate. China's Shanghai Composite edged up 0.1%, while Japan's Nikkei Stock Average slipped 0.1%.
In corporate news, Diamond Foods CSCO -0.02 % tumbled 37% after the company said the company's audit committee concluded financial statements for fiscal 2010 and 2011 will need to be restated and noted "material weaknesses" in the company's internal controls. The company said it was taking corrective actions, including appointing a new chief executive, chief financial officer and chairman of the board.
Groupon TDC -1.92 % slumped 14% after the company reported a fourth-quarter loss against expectations of a slight profit.
Lorillard's fourth-quarter earnings jumped 20% as the cigarette maker reported higher shipments and gains in Newport and Maverick brands. Shares gained 9.7%.

Diablo II turns 10, still being played on Battle.net
Diablo II turned 10 years-old yesterday, believe it or not, and Blizzard is celebrating with a bit of a retrospective on the Diablo III website.
Released on June 29, 2000, the game's still being played on Battle.net and the most recent update for it was released back in March.
Still no date on Diablo III yet, and while announced two years ago this month, Blizzard is taking it's normal "we'll ship it when it's ready" approach to the title.
BlizzCon 2010 takes place October 22-23 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, so hopefully we'll get an update on the game's progress during the event.
Thanks, Joystiq.

The political "war on women" has been in the spotlight recently, so it might not shock you to read a prominent newspaper report blaring, "Never before in the history of the United States have women taken a deeper interest in a presidential campaign than this year."
What might surprise you, however, is to learn that this headline appeared a hundred years ago in the New Orleans Picayune.
American politicians have been trying to figure out how to wrangle women voters since 1912; it was in the presidential race between Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft that women's power as enfranchised citizens in some states was first tested. 1912 was also the year the Titanic went down. The two events are not, despite what Rick Santorum thinks, related.
And just look at our swift progress! Women were admitted to Ivy League colleges (60 years later) and to the Supreme Court (70 years later) and we no longer have to wear corsets (except for "shapewear") and we have the guarantee that all women have access to reproductive freedom ... oops! Sorry about that last one; after all, a few luxuries have to be kept from the daughters of the poor. Let's amend that to make it more accurate: "Reproductive freedom for the daughters of the rich by discreet private providers is still legally available in most states, although not, perhaps, for very long."
And naturally, every woman represents her sex: It is a responsibility few men have been asked to bear — unless, of course, they're gay or non-WASP, in which case they must show government-approved ID constantly.
Everything done by an individual person who happens to be female reflects, either favorably or poorly, on women as a whole. When a woman opens her mouth and something besides a cooing noise comes out of it, then women everywhere are becoming crazy and strident.
Politicians are eager to engage with edgy young men and conservative middle-aged women, but as these positions have gradually become reversed, they find themselves at a loss. When women take the Electoral College more seriously than they take electrolysis, politicians worry. When women protest the fact that to pay for a contraceptive prescription they have to get a note from their primary care provider saying, in effect, "Please allow Ms. So-and-So to have an adult relationship. She has my permission. Signed, Dr. X," politicians worry. When women laugh false gods off their pedestals, politicians run for cover.
Why is it that, after a century, women still clog up political machines the way hair clogs drains? Why are political parties wary of women even as they court our votes? Democrats and Republicans regard women as childlike yet dangerous: To them, we're like toddlers with Uzis or third-graders with Glocks. They don't know whether to coddle us or take us out. And if the answer is "take us out," they don't know if that means as in "to dinner" or as in "of the picture entirely through the total obliteration of civic unity and strength."
Not that I'm bitter.
My bet is that the women of 1912 expected us to carry on their work for justice, freedom and equity. And if they could do it in corsets, we can do it in Spanx.

Amy Purdy began snowboarding at age 15, but in 1999, she contracted bacterial meningitis at the age of 19 and had less than a 2 percent chance of living. She was able to survive the infection, but lost both of her legs below the knee and would later require a kidney from her father the week before her 21st birthday. Purdy longed to return to snowboarding, and when she couldn't find prosthetics that would work for snowboarding, she built her own. In 2005 she co-founded Adaptive Action Sports, a non-profit organization and branch of Disabled Sports USA that is dedicated to introducing people with physical challenges to action sports. She was instrumental in advocating for the inclusion of adaptive snowboarding to the 2014 Paralympic Games.

I'm a beginner with regular expressions and processing text. What I need to do is format the text in a file into CSV format to import into a spreadsheet.
I need to find a number with a certain range and insert a carriage return -
\r - after it and remove a comma. I know how to find/replace for specific characters, but not in a range of characters or numbers.
This is the deal: I have a long text file, in this format.
Shimshon A
November 24, 2012
jonathan t
Laguna Niguel, CA
November 24, 2012
scott b
Sussex, NJ
November 24, 2012
I've added end of line commas and beginning/end of line quote marks in a text editor with find/replace:
"Shimshon A",
"November 24, 2012",
"jonathan t",
"Laguna Niguel, CA",
"November 24, 2012",
"scott b",
"Sussex, NJ",
"November 24, 2012",
But once after I remove all returns, I need to insert a return after the number in the range 13,481 to 1. That's because each column in the CSV needs to be Name, Location, Date and Number, like this:
"Shimshon A","(blank)","November 24, 2012","13,481"
"jonathan t","Laguna Niguel, CA","November 24, 2012","13,480"
"scott b","Sussex, NJ","November 24, 2012","13,479"

Running Time: 99

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

Will appeal to those that love pregnant women, as well as those with a piss fetish.
In addition to the expected fornication, viewers get to see living proof that pregnant women pee a lot.
Chaz Vincent has done lactation videos before, but his is her first full-blown pregnant release, and midway through her scene she realizes that the bathroom is too far for her bladder - so she pees in a wine glass. The woman who follows her starts out draining urine from her hairy pussy and then moves into the bathroom for more peeing and some sex action. The volume completes with a pretty, young mother-to-be receiving a massage from a slim woman, who sticks around for some non-therapeutic healing touch and an overnight visit. Is a U-Haul in their future? An enjoyable release, indeed.

!. Pip did not satisfy their obligation to raise money to consummate the merger.
2. If Pip couldn't raise the cash required to consummate the merger, how were they going to pay for the license agreement?
3. Pip has not been able to bring their own product to market and in FACT were reprimanded by the FDA for not telling the truth on their drug fact sheet. Their so called expertise was less than worthless it was negative value.
4. Non-binding.
5. The merger had a specified payment for either party who wanted out, Pip should have paid because they backed out and stated the law suit before the deadline.
6. Non-binding
These are just some of the peculiarities of the case I have noticed, it should have been thrown out of court in the first place. What made Parsons so prejudiced against Siga? Drapkin? He is long gone and so what if he promised something, he can't without board approval, Business execs and corporate salesmen lie every day and that's the norm. Richman is surely no saint, more of a bloodsucking parasite it appears to me. Does Richman have some kind of hold over Parsons?
The devil is in the details. I would suggest you read actual facts of the case as determined by two courts before laying out false and misleading statements under the title "Facts overlooked by Parsons". Your post should be titled "Spurious Claims by Tweendalines".
1) Correct, but it's reason for SIGA's ability to terminate the merger agreement in October 2006. Termination of the merger agreement did not terminate their obligation, to negotiate in good faith, a license in accordance with the terms of the LATS.
2) SIGA itself had already failed to raise this capital in late 2005/early 2006. Were it not for the $3 mln PIP loaned to SIGA, SIGA would have been bankrupt in early 2006. Upfront payment under the LATS was $6 million, $2 mln of which was to be paid upfront in cash, $2.5 mln as deferred license payment due 12 months after signing, and $1.5 mln more after SIGA obtained financing $15 mln. PIP had cash to satisfy terms as contemplated by the LATS.
3) Correct PIP has failed to bring it any product to market; but, to be accurate I think you mean commercialized. To bring any product to market requires FDA approval. From technical standpoint SIGA has not succeeded in doing this; but, in fairness they will likely beat PIP in doing so. FDA has disputes/issues with manufacturers all the time.
4) Misleading and only partially correct, Chancery Court and Delaware Supreme Court recognize that LATS was non-binding; however, the agreement to negotiate a license in accordance with the terms of the LATS was supported by two legally binding contracts both recognized as such by both these courts.
5) False, PIP did not back out. In fact, PIP asked for more time to secure required financing, but SIGA recognizing opportunity (now that it had data and government contract) used its legal rights under the merger agreement to terminate. The issue of failure to negotiate in good faith and the lawsuit did not arise until after the merger was terminated
6) Redundant. See #4.
Chancery Court denied SIGA's motion to dismiss 9/07, partial summary judgment 7/10. Delaware Supreme Court agreed with Chancery Court's findings of fact supporting determination SIGA acted in bad faith and were it not for this PIP would have a license.
Funny but I think not only did drapkin screen him here but beat RP in his own lawsuit. RP is not liked.
You have to....HAVE TO get over that non-binding thing. I had an issue with it too, but now 6 judges have ALL agreed that SIGA management intended to be binded to this and that there was sufficient evidence of such. FYI, you don't necessarily have to have a signed contract to be bound to terms of a contract. If one party is acting as if there is a contract, there can be one. Furthermore, you HAVE TO stop blaming Parsons. Blame the management team. Had they not blundered so badly, Pasrson would have never even been in the picture to make a decision. See, this is what I HATE about you SIGA investors....no matter what happens, you want to argue innocence and conspiracy. Some times in life you need to turn the mirror on yourself. It's OKAY to be wrong.
I don't mind being wrong, I just don't like being cheated though the actions of dishonest/incompetent individuals. You can throw Rose in that pile too if it makes you happy.
All good points that sigas atty could not drive home and at this point do not matter

Taking the Term 'Five-Man Rotation' Literally
A small pocket of fluid on the fingers can be enough to derail a major-league starting rotation. But Johnny Cueto's blister doesn't seem serious enough to prevent him from making Tuesday's scheduled start against the Diamondbacks and forcing his Reds to replace a starter in their rotation for the first time all season. Since 2000, only one team—the 2003 Mariners—has managed that for the full 162 games.
Cueto (10-5), Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Mike Leake all have avoided the disabled list—no easy feat, considering 75 big-league starters already have been sidelined this season, according to Stats LLC. That's exactly half the number who started the year in major-league rotations. This rate of injury is not unusual.
The Marlins are the only other 2012 team to field just five starters: Anibal Sanchez, Carlos Zambrano, Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco and Mark Buehrle. But Miami and Cincinnati are still barely more than halfway to matching the durability of the 2003 Mariners' quintet of Joel Pineiro, Jamie Moyer, Gil Meche, Ryan Franklin and Freddy Garcia.
Health alone will not keep a big-league rotation intact. All of the starters have to pitch well too. Cincinnati's starters have combined for a 3.38 ERA, the main reason the Reds lead the NL Central. The 2003 Mariners finished seventh in starters' ERA. But Miami's quintet ranks just 13th in the majors in starters' ERA (4.02) for the sub-.500 Marlins.

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchanges Commission, Gore -- a director on Apple's board -- exercised an option to purchase nearly 60,000 shares of the tech giant at the bargain basement price of $7.48
Sentiment: Strong Sell
The calls were at the money calls when he got them: AAPL was 7.11 in Apr 2003 (for instance). Each of us could have bought AAPL or AAPL calls back then!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
He got those options when he became a director in 03. What are you upset about?

India's RBI May Hold Rates on Factory Output Data, Centrum Says
Chokkalingam G., chief investment officer at Mumbai-based Centrum Broking Pvt., comments on the outlook for Indian equities after government data showed today factory output expanded at at the slowest pace in 21 months.
Output at factories, utilities and mines rose 3.3 percent from a year earlier, following an 8.8 percent gain in June, the Central Statistical Office said. The median of 26 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 6.2 percent advance.
The BSE India Sensitive Index lost 431.19, or 2.6 percent, to 16,435.78 at 1:09 p.m. Mumbai, set for the biggest decline since Feb. 24.
"The IIP number is definitely surprising on the negative side but the fact is that the IIP numbers are known for this kind of surprises. Wide fluctuation is very common. I am not worried about it. I don't think the Reserve Bank of India will increase interest rates now."
India's central bank has raised borrowing costs 11 times since the start of 2010 to damp living costs that are rising the fastest among the so-called BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The bank's next policy announcement is due on Sept. 16.
"We should remember the fact that we had very high base last year, so this might be a problem for August IIP as well. In August, corporate income-tax collection, according to media reports, was 30 percent higher from a year earlier and gross personal income-tax was 20 percent higher. Export growth was 40 percent for August. Things should improve going forward."
Advice to investors:
"We're optimistic since 18,000 index and have not changed our view. Investors should spread their funds and don't invest more than 30 percent of the wealth into equity. Go for stocks which have the least global linkages. We have not bought shares of a single software-services company in the past eight months. The strategy should be to buy shares of cash-rich, high dividend-paying companies."
He recommends Bharat Electronics Ltd., ITC Ltd., Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Investigators said Holmes began stockpiling gear for his assault four months ago and bought his weapons in May and June, well before the shooting spree just after midnight during a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." He was arrested by police outside the theater.
Analysts said that means it's likely there's only one main point of legal dispute between prosecutors and the defense.
"I don't think it's too hard to predict the path of this proceeding," said Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver. "This is not a whodunit. ... The only possible defense is insanity."
Under Colorado law, defendants are not legally liable for their acts if their minds are so "diseased" that they cannot distinguish between right and wrong. However, the law warns that "care should be taken not to confuse such mental disease or defect with moral obliquity, mental depravity, or passion growing out of anger, revenge, hatred, or other motives, and kindred evil conditions."
Experts said there are two levels of insanity defenses.
Holmes' public defenders could argue he is not mentally competent to stand trial, which is the argument by lawyers for Jared Loughner, who is accused of killing six people in 2011 in Tucson, Ariz., and wounding several others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner, who has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is undergoing treatment at a Missouri prison facility in a bid to make him mentally fit to stand trial.
If Holmes' attorneys cannot convince the court that he is mentally incompetent, and he is convicted, they can try to stave off a possible death penalty by arguing he is mentally ill. Prosecutors will decide whether to seek the death penalty in the coming weeks.
Holmes was not expected to enter pleas on Monday.
He ultimately could verbally enter a plea to the anticipated dozen first-degree murder charges, or his attorneys could enter it for him. Prosecutors may file multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder and other charges against Holmes, who booby trapped his apartment with the intent to kill any officers responding there the night of the theater attack, Aurora police said.
Sam Kamin, a law professor at the University of Denver, said there is "pronounced" evidence that the attack was premeditated, which would seem to make an insanity defense difficult. "But," he said, "the things that we don't know are what this case is going to hinge on, and that's his mental state."
Friends in Southern California, where Holmes grew up, describe him as a smart, sometimes awkward youth fascinated by science. He came to Colorado's competitive neuroscience doctoral program in June 2011. A year later, he dropped out shortly after taking his year-end exam.
Sylvester has tried to tightly control the flow of information about Holmes, placing a gag order on lawyers and law enforcement, sealing the court file and barring the university from releasing public records relating to Holmes' year there.
A consortium of media organizations, including The Associated Press, is challenging Sylvester's sealing of the court file.
On Friday, court papers revealed that Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist at the university. But they did not say how long he was seeing Fenton and if it was for a mental illness or another problem.
The University of Colorado's website identified Fenton as the medical director of the school's Student Mental Health Services.
An online resume listed schizophrenia as one of her research interests and stated that she sees 10 to 15 graduate students a week for medication and psychotherapy, as well as five to 10 patients in her general practice as a psychiatrist.

Fixed PriceBudget: $85
Start DateDecember 2, 2012
I am helping a small company to setup IT requirements for only 4 employees and working in a very tight budget. We are looking for technical know how consulting to the problem described below.
The company is based in UK and will be making a lot of outgoing phone calls, specially on UK mobile phones and international phone calls. Therefore looking for VOIP solutions.
I have looked into hosted VOIP solutions as the features are highly desirable and the price for calling mobile phones are on average of about 10p/min, which means they can only get 300 minutes for £30.
An alternative solution is, using a mobile sim which will give unlimited minutes to mobile phones and UK landlines. I have also seen some desk phones, which can integrate sim cards to make phone calls through the sim.
So you will need to:
1.advise inexpensive hd quality ip telephony system that can provide the required solution.
2. Integrate 1 hosted pbx telephone line, one PSTN line and one sim line working seamlessly
3. provide installation and technical support to have the telephone system up and running.
*** If you can provide the right solution and also can provide networking solution for a small company, the budget will be increased for the right solutions provided.***
P.S. desired Hosted PBX features examples:
