Ohio family welcomes home blind dog they gave away years ago
Malnourished dog nursed back to health
A Clifton family who gave away their blind dog got a sweet surprise.
Two years ago, the Sloan family adopted Carrot. The hound was blind in her left eye and with two small children, they decided to give her to another family in Price Hill.
Last week, Carrot came back to the Sloans.
"It looks like she was coming home. She was found two blocks away. She could have run in any other direction but she chose to come to Clifton," Kristen Sloan said.
Carrot was malnourished but the Sloans nursed her back to health.
They said they were so surprised to have her home. Now that their kids are older, they said they aren't about to make the same mistake twice. The Sloans have decided to keep Carrot.

Skull, bones found in tent had been there at least 6 months, investigators say
Published 7:43 AM CST Feb 04, 2013
A man found a skeleton inside a tent near railroad tracks in Ocala, authorities said.
Lt. Scott Fosler told the Ocala Star-Banner the remains found Sunday had likely been in the tent for between six months and a year.
Fosler said a skull could be seen inside the tent, partially covered by a blanket. He said other bones were scattered around the camp site.
Fosler said there are no indications of foul play. But the Ocala Police Department is investigating.

Hollins is ballin lol
Hollins may get back into rotation with this play!
Bench looking good
Ryan Ballins.
despite both teams having superstars down this game has been quite entertaining
Who was talking that foolishness that now that we got Granger
we should trade Crawford??? Pure foolishness.
Jamal 4 mvp!
Jamal's turn now on the drivers seat. He got it going.
Clippers are really focused. Keep it up, guys. You got this!
I love this year team. Always find ways to win despite the adversaries. We don't see that from Vinny del Negro team.
Crawford holding up the bench! Rockets don't scare me.
Damn. Hollins. I just like this guys energy. I never had a problem with him fouling because he did it with energy not a typical Turk or Big Baby lackadaisical foul
Hollins should have been playing backup C the whole time.
Big Baby should have been the PF.
Hollins is a better rebounder by far, a better shot blocker, and much better in the post. All glen offers is a semi-decent 15 footer and a lot of defensive complaining. If hollins gets in foul trouble fine then turn to davis, but i'd rather have hollins on the court than davis.
There was a reason we were saying we need better backup bigs. We've seen enough of Hollins to know that like any other role player he can have nights where he plays well. His problem is that he's consistent at fouling too much and being out of control and doesn't rebound well.
Lol, Jamal workin' his magic and drew a foul.
All Glenn offers is a semi-decent 15footer? Bro really don't know what you're talking
about honestly.
Hollins is looking decent today, but there is a reason he's been on the bench with
no PT.
Hollins is not a good rebounder my friend, let's not get carried away here. Better in the post as in offense or defense? Hollins doesn't get used in the post on offense for good reason. He's a better finisher near the basket if that's what you meant.
Monyjksdbvf,dhgaj,gafd just got away with a travel...ball don't lie. miss FT.
Good shot, Willie!
How did their shot clock reset?
he's on the bench with no PT because doc is still waiting for davis to return to his form with boston, which isn't gunna happen. Baby boxes out, but doesn't get up for the ball, just hopes someone else will or that the ball will fall into his lap. I'm not saying hollins is a great player, but he at least has quickness and can jump, which are important qualities in our system
Hollins the foul machine...
There is a reason why Hollins doesn't play more.
Our fts been terrible today!
This is why you can't get too excited about him, too inconsistent. Big Baby is still the better player.
why can't our 85%+ FT shooters not f***** shoot free throws today?
wow people here are bipolar as hell here. One day everyone hates Hollins and calls him the lowest bball iq player. Then when he does good every treats him like our savior. Remember when we got Big baby? Yeah everyone though he was our savior too, our missing piece. Two games ago people are saying Chris is not even a star anymore, now everyone is worshipping him.
Well hollins rears his ugly head again lol
Can someone tell these clips to stay on their feet on long jump shots SMMFDH
Put the starters back in and take out Hollins the foul machine.
Hollins is a foul machine, lol.
This. Its ridiculous. Hollins didn't get minutes for a reason.
Rebounds per 36 on a Clippers:
Hollins: 6.6
Davis: 6.7
No one is a good rebounder in this discussion. Davis boxes out but can't always get it, Hollins doesn't box out and jumps too much and isn't always in position to get rebounds, the result is two below average big man rebounders.
CP threeeeeeee....
but the bearded one answers.
Great defense on harden. He just can't survive without a foul
Did you see me saying in a past post that hollins was that bad? Everyone was excited about davis because they thought he would be in better shape, or at least get back into shape, but it hasn't happened. I agree tho that the complaining about CP is silly, everyone has an off night and CP is the best point guard in the league.
GET THAT OUT OF HERE! I hate James Harden lol
Lovin' DJ's hustle right there.
Deandre Jordan just annihilated James hardens' shot along with his beard!!!
Big time block on harden by DJ
And People still doubt DJ SMH....
Everyone trigger happy on the 3pt line today
They are so lucky dwight isn't here to brick some fts!
Here we go, hack-a-DJ.
I mean, he's still pretty inconsistent with glaring flaws. I loved seeing him swat that bitch Harden's **** as much as anyone, but perspective is necessary.
Oh boy. We got 3 minutes of this.
Make them pay DJ!!!
Yeah DJ
Good job making your free throws, DJ!
Lets go dj!

ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Tigers
It's a beautiful afternoon at Yankee Stadium as the Yankees and Tigers continue the American League Division Series, with Freddy Garcia looking to put New York up two games to none as the ALDS prepares to go on to Detroit. Max Scherzer is hoping to have a little something to say about that from the Tigers' standpoint.
Here are the lineups, as the Yankees are expecting to keep trotting the same lineup out there for the entire ALDS:
American League Division Series: Game Two
October 2, 2011 – Yankee Stadium – 3:07 p.m. ET (TBS, WCBS 880 AM)
Austin Jackson CF
Magglio Ordonez RF
Delmon Young LF
Miguel Cabrera 1B
Victor Martinez DH
Alex Avila C
Jhonny Peralta SS
Wilson Betemit 3B
Ramon Santiago 2B
Pitching: Max Scherzer RHP (15-9, 4.43)
Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Robinson Cano 2B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Nick Swisher RF
Jorge Posada DH
Russell Martin C
Brett Gardner LF
Pitching: Freddy Garcia RHP (12-8, 3.62)
UMPIRES: Eric Cooper HP, Gerry Davis (CC) 1B, Dan Iassogna 2B, Ted Barrett 3B, Bill Welke LF, Tony Randazzo RF.
LUCKY No. 7: The Yankees have now won seven straight ALDS games, marking the longest-ever winning streak in ALDS games…is the second-longest LDS win streak all time behind Atlanta's 10 in-a-row in the NLDS from 10/7/95-10/3/98.
GOOD DAY SUNSHINE: The Yankees were a Major League-best 44-12 (.786) in day games in 2011, recording the highest-ever win percentage in day games since 1900…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the previous high was .748 (116-36) by the 1906 Cubs, followed by the 2008 Angels (32-11, .744).

Alan: You sound like the eternal optimist and that's good. However, I don't have the confidence going into these two games in Detroit as you do. Not having CC in the first game was big. We could be up 2 now if he had pitched in game 1. Now it's 1-1 and we go back to Detroit. They could easily close out this series in Detroit if we don't win this 3rd game. I said all along I didn't like the strategy of resting our big players in the last series against the Rays. We were swept in that series and have little momentum to caarry us into the playoffs, especially a short series. We haven't got enough games out of 5 to get the engine up and running and again after we've let it cool off. I think that strategy of Girardi's is going to bite us in the #ss and we'll be looking back on what could have been. I hope you're right Alan and I'm wrong. If I am, it won't be the first time but I'd feel a lot better being up 2-0 than 1-1 right now. The middle of their lineup has been much better than the middle of our lineup. If that doesn't change tonight we might as well start planning or next year.
I do agree with the fact that at 5 runs down with this lineup it's still technically close, i would have preferred to see things going more down the Soriano (still don't really trust him), Robertson route being only 5 down, but instead went with Wade & Ayala who coughed up an insurance run. Ayala is a reasonable pitcher, but late in the season his ERA climbed from 1.32 on August 6th to end at 2.09, granted most of the damage was done by the three runs he gave up on the final day. He's got the playoff jitters – but yeah, could have done with the "reliable" guys. I don't know with CC today, i know he only went 1 inning the other night, but that's still with a full warmup – 7 innings would be great, 8 would be immense, but to be honest, if we get a few runs for him i'd be happy with 6 and turning it over to Soriano, Robertson, Rivera to close out. Other way to look at it, if we get to the ALCS which starts on Saturday, if he goes 6 then he'll have more in the tank for game 1 of that series!
I'm not worried about Jeter so far, i know he's only hitting .200 but remember a certain time early in the year where he wasn't hitting and if anyone's going to go 4-4 you know Jeter's a prime candidate. Tex & Arod need to come through though, like i said, stage fright – but you're never sure when something's gonna click and they're gonna take off, you just hope that if/when they do it lasts all the way through the playoffs! Swisher, well, he's a grafter, he knows he's not gonna be in the same league as the premier hitters, but he keeps the lineup loose and that's needed.
October – check, Arod in pinstripes check, Arod lacking clutch timing check. While he's had some success in October (09 particularly springs to mind) a lot of the time when the playoffs come round Arod seems to get stage fright! Still, there's a lot to play and despite the tough luck loss last night there's positives to take from it.
1 – we got to Valverde, the guy had 52 straight regular season saves dating back to 2010 and yeah, it wasn't a save situation last night, but we got to him, compare that with Mo the other night – 3 pitches, 3 strikes. Now not for one second would i compare Valverde & Mo as pitchers, but Valverde now has to sit in the pen knowing we got to him for 2 runs – no better place to be than firmly in the mind of your opponent!
2 – undeniable we've got ageing stars, but look at some of those ageing stars – Jeter & Posada for all their low points this season have been there & done it more times than almost anyone playing the game right now. Mo has been there, done that, busted the bats to prove it. Everyone with the exception of Russel Martin has been to a World Series (granted Granderson didn't exactly light the world on fire in 2006 – but he's matured greatly since then). That's worth a whole heck of a lot, granted there's a few remnants of that Tigers squad still around, but nowhere near the experience in the Yankees clubhouse, not even close!
3 – the Tigers can hit the ball, but the Yankees can not only hit the ball, they can take you deep almost any time (even Gardner & Jeter can surprise you) and even then, if they don't, hello, they can still manufacture runs. The one thing a lot of these guys can do is run up a pitch count, get someone like Gardner on base and he can throw your defense right out of their gameplan, same with Granderson, to a lesser extent Jeter or Arod are capable of the same thing. Granted Comerica is a big ball park, but you just watched as arguably the second slowest player in baseball legged out a triple last night (i think Ortiz moves slightly slower than Jorge!). Doesn't take much if you've got speed to make things happen!
If you look at those things then you can see some daylight, no excuses last night was a pretty rough performance all round but at the same time, it wasn't the comprehensive win that i'm sure the Tigers would have preferred. They know that we're capable of giving you nightmare innings & punishing mistakes – just got to hope that we can get to Verlander tonight & that CC pitches the way we all know he can pitch. Then you have the great postseason question – in game 4 are we going to get the AJ we saw against Boston at the end of season or the other AJ which looks like me going out there pitching? Bit of faith guys – this series is far from over and well, we're all tied up going in behind our ace tonight, granted we'd rather be 2-0 but hey, life doesn't always run to plan, it's all about how you adapt to the curveballs in life.
Yankees in tough against Verlander tomorrow. Get behind 2-1 and then they have to win the 4th game to come to NY for the 5th. I'd feel much more confident if we were going up against Verlander being up 2-0. Rally too late tonight and not enough. Disappointing loss.
Too bad we always have to look to CAno to perform the big miracle! We should be getting them from Tex and ARod but we haven't and we won't.
How big the 5th run could turn out to be. Ayala never should have been in there given his performance lately. Dumb decision again by Girardi.
What's with Jete tonight? 0 for 5? Two strikeouts. Guys on base almost every time at bat and does nothing. And his error started the rally in the 6th. Not a verygood night for Jeter or for others either. We woke up as a team way too late. Hard to come back with 4 run deficit in the 9th.
hold the phones ladies & gentlemen – Jorge Posada with (and even i can't believe i'm about to type this) a TRIPLE!
why did Girardi bring in Ayala again? Come on. Swish hits a homer but it's probably too little too late. He's pitched lousy in relief the last 2 games and again tonight gives up the 5th run which could turn out to be the winner. He doesn't want to use his best relief pitchers and saving them I guess for Detroit. But it's a short series and if the Yankees don't get their bats going it could be another short one for the Yankees like 2006.
definately not fun to watch – but it's "only" 4 runs and well, we know that these guys can put 4 runs on you before you know it, but definately not looking sharp tonight.
Has Boone Logan been talking to David Robertson down in the pen – give them some drama then strike someone out to end it?!? Desperately need to find some bats now though as i'd feel much safer going to Detroit up 2-0 than tied 1-1, especially knowing Verlander is ready to go tomorrow.
Wonderful! Logan balks and moves the runners up with only one out. Jeter yelling at Logan and throwing him off. Jeter not doing well today defensively or offensively.
The game is getting away on us. Freddy is tiring. Jeter makes a throwing error on speedy Jackson and it's 4-0 and no hits for the Yankees. The Yankees are not looking strong in this game. Seems like they're just going through the motions. They're certainly making the Tiger pitcher look good. Boone Logan is in. This could get worse.
The Yankees need to figure this pitcher out soon. A lot of strike outs. He hasn't been that great in the regular season but he's making the Yankees look bad so far.
It's either feast or famine for this Yankees team offensively. 9 runs last night. Nothing so far today and no hits. Freddy has done well since the first inning. Need to get at least 6 from him, and hope we can get to the Tigers' bullpen in the 7th.
Hi guys: Here we go. Hopefully another win for the Yankees. Freddy makes one mistake and Cabrera hits a line drive out of the park. Not a big home run in the second row but it counts. It's not going to be as easy today for theYankees as it was yesterday. Tigers have a good hitting lineup. This is the swing game and an important one. Better to go into Tiger stadium 2 up rather than tied.

Yes, super tv making !
That's what our sport needs.
And what a nice finishing battle.
|10th January 2013 11:02 AM
i think this tv shows show it how beautiful and exciting can be a windsurfing race, even a course race. these were the medal race for girls and boys after 10 races. on the sails you can see the competitors' overal result before the medal race.
congrats for the british tv team!!

Dream on: Rio 2016 Beckons
Sunday, 11 November 2012 12:47
Never have so many fought for so long and so successfully
to get a class re-instated on the Olympic sailing programme.
This team effort involved people all over the world on many
different levels and in many different ways. The fact that the
ISAF General Assembly voted strongly in support of windsurfing
and the RS:X for Rio 2016, is testament to the passion and
determination of all these people.
You helped to keep the story alive during the long six month fight.
This morning the dreams of thousands of young windsurfers are reinvigorated. Their chance to race in the Olympic sailing regatta is restored.
Thanks for your support and your constant belief that we could do what no other part of the sailing community has achieved in the past.
This battle was fought using all the levers available. 31,254 people signed the online petition. 20,000 joined the "Appeal" page on Facebook (Thanks Adam). 14,342 followed the 'Vote Windsurfing' Facebook page. And countless others worked tirelessly in the background to lobby MNAs and turn the groundswell of opinion into a tsunami of voters at the General Assembly.
This was a truly Olympic effort and just like as in any boat race only one can win. We know how the world of kite board racing must feel for it is how we felt on May 5th. The disappointment must be palpable. They are gracious in a defeat and that will only strengthen their determination to bid again for Olympic selection.
We will do our best to help them in that endeavour right up to where the line is drawn. The line that may never be crossed under any circumstances. Windsurfing will fight and fight hard to stay in the Olympic sailing programme when threatened.
In our heart of hearts, we both know that this was a fight neither of us wanted. A compromise would have weakened the appeal of both sports to small and emerging nations round the world. Now is the time for both windsurfing and kite to take stock.
Windsurfing as a global sport slept walked into this nightmare. No one really believed that the men and women's windsurfing events would be dropped. The fact that it was woke a lot of people up. We can never again be caught napping.
Kiteboarding ran a skilful campaign. They focused on their strengths and made a strong presentation but were ultimately found wanting because the discipline of kite board racing is still new and their equipment is not fully developed. Four more years will see big changes.
As for me, it was always my intention to step down after the RS:X was selected for Rio 2016. I never expected that to be so difficult so now is the time, after almost 30 years since I ran my first IMCO European Championships in Guernsey, Channel islands to stand back and let a new generation take the sport forward to Rio and on to who knows where in 2020 and beyond.
Good luck and keep the dream that we have all share alive
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|13th November 2012 09:07 PM
|There was some great racing at Weymouth including a photo finish, they were lucky to get reasonable breezes. So if the class adopts the Evo the planning threshold will be down close to formula - but they can still get round whatever happens in Rio wind wise.
|13th November 2012 07:59 PM
Well, Kona is unfortunately made for those who sailed in the 80-ties and don't want to change their style of sailing.
Formula gets going before kites do, so if they almost included kite, I cannot se why Formula wouldn't work in OS. Then you get a klass that is still being developed and gear that people actually like to sail on without taking part in the Olympics or any other competitions.
|13th November 2012 01:33 AM
|12th November 2012 05:28 AM
Gyurmo tks.
It is now clear that windsurfing has one more chance.
Maybe this scare has finally opened up the windsurfing community's eye's and brought everyone together focused on a common goal. Maybe now windsurfing manufacturers, the various classes / associations and the sports best sailors past present and future will get together in a formal and regular setting to keep the sport modern representative and visually exciting.
The Olympics is a huge business and as a fringe sport, windsurfing will survive if the fans want to see it! If the fans want to see it then it must be great to watch and that means high performance, pants on fire racing on really hot equipment!
Can't wait to ride

maybe the easiest to understand explanation:
|11th November 2012 07:52 PM
you dont understand whats happened?? you are not alone... lots decision makers dont understand whats happened!!! that is the really sad part of this story. what kind of people leading this sailing sport whom let happened what happened in may??????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????
maybe help you to see clearer picture about the actions of 9-10 november. here is the official summary:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
2012 ISAF Annual Conference
Dun Laoghaire, Ireland
After three days of meetings, the ISAF Annual Conference drew to a close today as the final decisions affecting the sport moving forward were made.
Hosted in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, hundreds of delegates gathered from 1 November 2012 to discuss sailing across the world.
Olympic Events And Equipment
The Olympic events and equipment was high on the agenda of the ISAF Council and after hearing the reports from the 2012 ISAF events and the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition, business moved on to discussing submissions.
23 submissions relating to the events and equipment for Rio 2016 were received by ISAF in advance of the Conference. In accordance with the ISAF Regulations, before the detail of any of these particular submissions could be discussed, Council were required to vote on a motion to re-open the debate on the subject. The Regulations specify that 75% of members must agree to the motion.
The submissions were presented as six proposals and Council asked to vote on them in terms of the specific changes they proposed. The first proposal grouped together the submissions that only dealt with men's kiteboarding and women's kiteboarding (020-12, 025-12, 027-12, 050-12, 051-12, 052-12, 053-12, 054-12, 055-12, 056-12, 057-12, 058-12 and 062-12). 26 Council members voted in favour and 12 were against.
Proposal 2, which featured Submission 063-12, related to Men's Kiteboarding, Women's Kiteboarding and 2nd One Person Dinghy - Finn. 14 Council members voted in favour and 23 were against and 1 abstained.
Proposals 3, 4, 5 & 6 relating to Submissions 064-12, 065-12, 071-12 and 094-12 respectively did not receive the required proposer and seconder around the table so were not considered.
With 38 possible votes, the 75% requirement was not achieved on either proposal so the events and equipment as approved in May 2012 remain for Rio 2016.
However, at the ISAF General Assembly part of the business for the 106 Member National Authorities (MNAs) who were present was to review any regulations made or amended in any substantive way by Council since the last Ordinary Meeting which was in November 2011.
ISAF had been notified of three amendments proposed by MNAs which concerned the first two lines of Regulation 23.1.4 (Men's and Women's Kiteboarding).
As defined in the Articles of ISAF, decisions at the General Assembly shall be taken by a simple majority of votes of those present and entitled to vote. There were 114 possible voters, including the ISAF President and Vice-Presidents.
After a lengthy debate the MNAs approved the first proposal which reinstated Men's and Women's Boards - RS:X.
ISAF Regulation 23.1.4 now reads:
Men's Board - RS:X
Women's Board - RS:X
Men's One Person Dinghy - Laser
Women's One Person Dinghy - Laser Radial
Men's 2nd One Person Dinghy - Finn
Men's Skiff - 49er
Women's Skiff - 49erFX
Men's Two Person Dinghy - 470
Women's Two Person Dinghy - 470
Mixed Two Person Multihull - Nacra 17
All other changes to the ISAF Regulations were approved.

Friday, July 25, 2014
A month after the director and assistant director of the Georgetown County Museum unexpectedly resigned, two members of the board of directors have also quit.
Pam Toemmes confirmed she resigned from the board at a special meeting of the board on June 30. She declined to comment further, but suggested the Times ask for the meeting minutes.
Thats about all I want to say, she said.
Dick Riley also resigned from the board for personal reasons, he said. Its nothing horrible. ... My wife and I think a lot of the historical society and the museum.... Theres no drama, I just decided this was the right time.
Toemmes alluded to a larger issue, though. Theres a lot going on. Im glad youre looking into it, she said.
Two others connected with the museum made the same observation.
Im glad that somebodys looking into this, said a museum volunteer who no longer volunteers because of everything that has happened. The former volunteer wished to remain anonymous because of a pending situation.
You know theres just so many of us that would like to [look into it] but we dont know how to do it.
I appreciate you looking into this, said a historical society member, who wished to remain anonymous because of their continued membership and involvement with the museum.
A press release from the museum cites a decrease in salary as the reason for the resignation of the former director and assistant director, Jill Santopiertro and Susan Sawyer.
It reads: During this transitional year, as the Georgetown County Museum adapts to the increased monthly operating expenses at its new building the Board of Directors of the Historical Society deemed it prudent to eliminate or reduce current Museum expenses wherever possible.
Unfortunately, this belt-tightening included a proposed temporary reduction in the salaries of the Museums two paid staff members. While understandable, their decision to resign was accepted with deep regret by the Board.
As documented in the historical societys 2012 990 tax forms, the director was paid $23,424 annually based on a 40-hour work week. According to the 2011 990 tax forms, the assistant director was paid $7,580 annually, based on a 25-hour work week.
Sawyer said while she did get a raise after the museum moved to its new location, it was minimal and her salary was close to the number reported in the 990.
Resigned is a funny kind of word to put to that. They were really pushed out, said the former volunteer.
The member explained, When the museum realized they had run into a deficit the solution was not lets start an aggressive funding plan to get into a better position, but instead they looked to the museum staff to cut their salaries. To put the onus of the deficit on those two people was not right.
At that point they had a choice to stay in that environment or to leave, and they chose to leave it, the member concluded.
Although the museum hired Debby Summey as the interim museum director, Rene King, president of the board of directors, said its been a difficult time without the staff members.
However, records of the June board meetings show the board had a chance to keep the staff on.
The Times obtained the meeting minutes from the Georgetown County Historical Society through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The law states any organization that receives public funds, such as accommodations tax funding, must adhere to the FOIA guidelines. Consequently, any such organizations board meetings and records, such as meeting minutes, budget, correspondence, etc., are open to the general public. In Fiscal Year 2013-2014, the museum received $4,300 and the historical society, under which the museum operates, received $7,000 from the City of Georgetown accommodations tax fund.
According to the July 19 meeting minutes, Pam Toemmes announced that an anonymous donor had offered to pay the salary of the former employees if they wished to be reinstated.
The matter is under advisement, the minutes say.
At the next meeting, on June 30, Dick Riley made a motion that the board authorize him to visit an anonymous donor and verify an offer to cover the salaries of the previous employees.
His visit would have verified the donation had no other restrictions than to pay the salaries through Dec. 31, 2014.
By written ballot, the board voted down the motions, five votes in favor and eight votes against. The minutes do not detail who voted in favor or against.
The member said, There was a financial supporter, a donor, who was willing to make some additional donations, and if one donor had done that, other donors would have also stepped up. The board voted to refuse those donations.
The member said the decision to not accept the gift, and the reasons behind it, are why the two board members resigned.
They have grants, but the rest is just the memberships and gift shop. You cant run an operation like that on the gift shop, it takes a lot of money to do this, said the former volunteer.
We have a lot of supporters, but I dont know how many we are going to lose. Everyone that I know says that they will not join again.
The question remains, why did the board of directors refuse the donations?
King would not say.
Everybody had different opinions on different things. I couldnt speak with any certainty why it was voted down. There were various concerns from various quarters. ... That was a personal thing and I couldnt presuppose speaking for others.
He would not reveal his personal vote either. The majory has spoken, so Im enacting that and were moving on, King said.
Board member Jan Lane would not reveal her position on the motion, but did say the decision may have been related to an earlier motion.
In the minutes, preceding Rileys motion to explore the donation for the salaries, it was announced a member requested the return of a balance of a donation made in November, 2013.
Lane said the donor requesting a refund was the same donor offering to pay the salaries.
Doesnt sound like a good offer, does it? she said.
Board member Jim Clark said that was exactly why the motion was voted down.
The discussion, or my feeling was, they wanted some of it back and then they wanted to give some more, its obvious that either they were trying to earmark these funds, or attach strings to it. ... Thats like reaching into the plate at church and getting your dollar back, he said.
Another board member, who wished to remain anonymous because of a conflict of interest with their professional work, implied they had voted to accept the salary donation, calling it a wonderfully generous offer that would have addressed a specific need.
The board member said it surprised me that the offer was turned down.
Board member Dave Starnes declined to comment. Board member Richard Camlin was absent from the meeting.
The Times was unable to reach other board members.
Conversely, if the board had voted to accept the donation, Santopiertro and Sawyer said they still would not have returned.
Sure, I would have, given certain other changes to the structure of the board and the way things were run, yes. [But] not without some changes.
It has to do with the structure of the organization and some folks on the board. ... I was director of the museum, but I wouldnt have come back unless I was executive director because of what I was dealing with.
She said she would describe the board as micromanaging her position.
Im glad youre working on this. I think its an important thing for folks to understand.
Sawyer had a similar feeling.
I dont think I could have worked with the board thats left. Had the board changed and the money was there, yes [I would have returned].
She cited mismanagement of the museum as part of her discomfort with the leadership.
To me they werent going the direction the board needed to be going in, Sawyer said. It takes more than [museum membership fees and wholesale book sales] to keep the museum open. And the fundriasing had not been going on to help us do that.
I just pray that the museum stays open.

Thank you Mike.
I tend to be on the fence when it comes to GUI. I generally like to work with the command line but when tasks become repetitive a GUI is nice.
Thank you Mike!
Both, GUI and cmd line
Hi from OR
Reviewing this lecture
thank you Michael,
hi all,
Thanks Mike
until next time
good day
thank you
Thanks as always Mike
Mike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzMj_iU4vxs
do you have a better version of this some where? the audio is broken here
I have been using a Linux operaing system on a small ARM processor board. All of my software runs in user-space. I have had a big challenge creating software interrupts on a periodic bases. I've used the sigaction() and setitimer() functions to setup this periodic timer interupt. This gives me only one periodic interrupt that occurs ever 30ms. Is there a better way to do this? Could I get these interupts to occur more often, perhaps every 100us?
Mike:I too am new to the code. Just started looking into it. But there is only wifi on this . so may be it is manifesting into more..
Mike: You may be right "USB behave as an Ethernet"
Well, sorry gang. I'm out of time. Got to get on to another meeting at a customer facility. CU tomorrow.
@kernelkernel: I just see it linked in as a module (604401.090805] Modules linked in: cdc_acm). I think that's part of USB OTG subsystem used to make USB behave as an Ethernet. I could be wrong those as I haven't looked at that part of the kernel in a few months.
Mike: I have only USB slots on the target. And USB OTG of not configured
@GBr is correct. The actual ARM7 (opposed to the ARM v7 architecture) does not have an MMU. ARM7tdmi would be an example of an MMU-less processor.
Mike: Thank you so much. But There is no USB OTG on the target. Could you please tell me what part of code error
indicates it is USB OTG.
@timd: The memory management uint (MMU) is used to create a translation of physical to virtual addresses. The MMU enables a consistent memory interface across all CPU architectures that run Linux. But, the use of an MMU and it's page tables consumes memory. So, uCLinux is a way to give a Linux look and feel to processors with well less than 1 MB of RAM. It's not quite Linux, but from a user's API perspective, it's pretty close.
@timd MMU is memory management and allow you to have virtual address space. Without MMU you use real addresses. ARM7 I believe is without MMU.
@kernelkernel I see you're using USB OTG. The most known source for this bug is tring to sleep in a completion handler. So, if you try to sleep in a bottom_half (e.g., tasklet) you'll also see this error. Look at your ISR to see if you're using a schedule_tasklet call. If so, look in the tasklet to make sure it's not trying to sleep (wait_event, etc.) Also, look at your kernel timers for similar logic.
What is MMU and how does it effect the operation of the kernel? What would I use uCLinux for?
Mike: I need some help in reading this bug.
Mike : this is olpc 3.o kernel
Mike:Playing WAVE 'AfroString.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono [604401.079555] BUG: scheduling while atomic: aplay/23434/0x00000002 [604401.090805] Modules linked in: cdc_acm fuse xt_tcpudp iptable_filter ip_tab] [604401.134306] [<c00368a0>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x11c) from [<c0397054>] (__) [604401.149253] [<c0397054>] (__schedule 0x5c/0x430) from [<c03983c0>] (schedul) [604401.171340] [<c03983c0>] (schedule_hrtimeout_range_
@kernelkernel Usb audio by any chance? Good luck.
@timd: uCLinux runs with an MMU on smaller processors like the CortexM3/M4. It is based on the Linux source tree, but operates in a fundamentally different way than full-up Linux. I'd use the full-up version first and then experiment with uCLinux if you have a specific need to run on an MMU-less processor.
Mike: Thank You for that info. This error is occuring when I am trying to play a audio. There is a new chunk of code added . I have to debug it. I will post to the mailing list after I reach to certain point from the ftrace hint you have given
@kernelkernel: BTW, most of the time I've see that error were related to the driver calling schedule() while the application was supposed to have exclusive access. E.g., USB interface calling schedule in a wait_event_interruptible() call.
OK, folks, I gotta go to review the presentation from start.
I'll e-see everyone tomorrow.
Mike: ThankYou so much! very helpful indeed!
@kernelkernel The trace should be captured on the target. Is this bug repeatable? If so, use the tracing_on and tracing_off features in the kernel API to capture the function graph associated with the failure. Capture that info to a trace file and look at it on the host. Then, if it's a repeatible bug and not related to proprietary code, submit the bug and the trace to the Linux Kernel Mailing List for the maintainers to examine.
Mike: specific debugging on Target and HOST ? for BUG: scheduling while atomic
@timd - LinuxC does not support Mem Management.
@kernelkernel The "scheduling while atomic" bug is a significant problem in your system if you're seeing it. I'd use ftrace to capture the trace around that and look to see where your system is going south.
Mike: BUG: scheduling while atomic
how to start debugging this 1. on Target 2. on HOST
please give a hint
What would be the difference between this linux code and uClinux? Would uClinux be an esier starting point?
@Chuck - just now found the next week starts Aug 20 title ARM Core
@MIKE: Thank you Mike. I know there are a tone of forums also, but I thought to use the bond of this course to get a small group to interact as they grow in the subject as "class mates."
BUG: scheduling while atomic
How to debug this, on the target?
@jamesdeutch The stated goal of LTTng is to get it into mainline sometime by year end. But, because ftrace and oprofile are aready there, Linus may not be keep on adding yet another profiler to the kernel. If the argument for LTTng is compelling, then it will likely get in. If it's just another "me too" then it may never get into the kernel.
@timd Yes, it is the same source tree. Obvisously the interfaces are slightly different for the ARM because of the difference in CPU features. So, there may be features that exist on ARM that don't on x86 and vice versa
Thanks -- see you tomorrow.
@Mike: Question may have been lost... Do you see LTTng going into the mainline, and if so how soon?
Everyone: There is also an embedded Linux group on Linked-in if you're interested.
When I download the kernel code to compile it for my embedded ARM processor is this the same code that is downloaded for the x86 processor for my PC?
@mraza17: You are actually using the live chat when you Post your statement about not getting on the live chat. This is the live chat.
Fore those who missed this post:
@INVITATION: I am accepting input from those interested in participating on an Embedded Study group. Please, write about your interest to firstname.lastname@example.com. The level should start with basics but opent to any one interested in learning or helping to learn. No agenda in place yet.
@brettdog No, top doesn't use any of these mechanisms directly. Top uses the scheduler info ranterh than the tracepoint interface.
@Chuck: have not needed to profile the Linux kernel in my current work.
@Chuck: measured interrupt latency using an ICE.
Thanks Mike and Chuck, Great information and so easy to use.
@Chuck - when are the next week of presentations scheduled
Thanks! - still learning from a firehose :)
@FarAfield True, there will often be some sort of timing critical code that needs profiling. Especially if you're writing the LCD driver itself
@chuck - thanks Chuck and DigiKey - bring back the Starbucks coupons!
thanks for this new (to me) info. GREAT!!!
Nice. Thks. Adios
Thank you for another great presentation
thanks Mike - series has been great intro and very informative - see u tomorrow
Thank you Mike, Chuck and all.
thanks again
Does TOP use one of these debugging methods?
Can't access live chat
Thank you Mike and Chuck!
Great class, thank you.
thanks Mike and Chuck!
Thank You for the great time, see you tomorrow!
Thanks Mike and Chuck
Thkx Mike, Chuck.
Thank you very much Mike.
Embedded systems typically need some kernel tweaking though some of this may be better done in a module. LCD driver for a specific LCD Controller in a new chip being one example.
Thank you for the presentation.
Thanks Mike and Chuck for the interesting session. see all tomorrow.
thanks much
Thank you!
Thank You. Chuck n Mike!
Thanks Mike and Chuck!
Hi everyone!
black box to me
Really informative. Thanks.
Thank you for Today's presentatlion Mike
thanks mike & chuck!
So far the OS has been a black box but as I have to start writing my own OS the ability to profile in it is more important.
Yes. It would be helpfule to have a profile tool.
When doing soft real time activities - profiling is useful.
profile kernel - have done so in past; optimizing drivers
I need to profile.
Not used so far.
tools - could be outside of mainline. I choose what I like best in the end.
kernel - a black box for me
Sometimes, I would like to, but I usually don't actually get around to it.
Seldom need to.
I have worked with a group that needed the kernel profile tweaked for realtime extensions.
@Chuck - treat OS kernel as black box - never needed to profile it
profiling may be handy for embedded applications. Have not used linux of any kind yet.
Black Box
Not usually. It really depends on the problem.
Yes, when needed
black box
Black Box? Perfect! -- whenever I can. It never seems to work that way though!
I have changed some predefined values in microcontroller for programming interrupts etc
profiling -- yes -- useful in secuirty analysis...
Have not had to yet but vould like to do after learning more
Haven't had to profile a driver recently...
Need to profile to guarantee some soft realtime apps
rarely against the kernel
Well, for RTOSs ya kinda have to.
Kernel as a black box for now.
I need to profile all the time for getting efficeincy results of my changed code
have not yet needed to profile the kernel
Yes we do for some issues.
Black box
Not much of a need here.
Does anyone else chuckle when they hear "you can take a dump"?
Slide 18: CTF = Common Trace Format. LTV = Linux Trace Visualizer. Are these right?
Finally on the net from the Mac on Firefox. Safari on the iPad OK for Panera. but not on the Mac. Go figure.
Re mainline question: a few years ago, I would have answered affirmatively wrt being comfortable "doing the integration" work. But now, not unless it's integrated with whatever kernel source mgmt infrastructure I'm using (eg Debian's).
depends on level of work and benefits (if I'm trying to debug a problem building/integrating tools is a side-trip and too much time can be problematic)
If necessary, otherwise stick with mainline
For production development - NO want pre-integrated.
For hobby use - not quite so important.
Depends. It's more convenient when in mainline, but some value may be worth working with a non-mainline tool.
Depends on the ease of integration (which usually means lots of documentation is needed) - I don't mind surgery on the kernel at all, but I don't like spending hours upon hours just trying to get a tool to work so that I can start on solving my problems
prefere mainline included
Varies for me. Often, commandline is faster to move around with. But GUIs that provide some sort of "value-added" output (like the tool in the slides) can be useful for first-line exploration (also nice is if they implement IO via separate thread or process mechanisms...).
I am a beginner at this so, I can't comment on this question.
yes if worth it.
@Chuck - would prefer tools to be already integrated - this only makes the most sense to me
The tool can be outside of mainline, as long at the instrumentation it's using is IN mainline.
If the tool is not in the mainline kernel, it needs to be better enough to make it work the effort to build a new kernel. Plus, if the tool is not in the mainline kernel, it makes kernel upgrades a pain.
would rather not, but not a big deal
Depends on what I'm trying to do. If I need it, I'll do it.
Outside of mainline kernel means it changes the problem I'm trying to debug.
If it causes problems in the kernel I avoid it.
It depends on what support is available
Integration? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on desperation level.
It depends on how well documented the non-main-line tools are.
willing to try non main line tools
Whatever they pay me for.
yes, willing to integrate if it's worth it
If its needed badly enough. Cross-compiling can be painful at times
Tools outside mainline can be big trouble.
Not enough time to integrate here.
@Chuck - sure, why not...
command line
Had too many issues with not so well thought GUIs... If I need a GUI I could build it myself on top of the CLI... so many issues eliminated
looks like another dropped post during the last question.
I tend to use command line and a keen eye for debug.
kernelshark is a way cooler name....lttng needs a new name. :)
no preference
Depends on what I need.
I can't say that I have a preference. Sometimes I want to include commands within a script, or post-process the data. A GUI makes it harder to automate stuff.
Depends on what I'm looking for: GUI to see overview of situation and command line for detailed analysis.
I almost always require that my tools are fully functional via the CLI, but the option of viewing the information occasionally in a GUI so that I can use my eyes+brain as a pattern recognition device is useful.
CMD line is OK -- but I really appreciate a GUI for ease of use. Tired of thinking too hard. Too many systems, too much to remember too few brain cells. The easier the better...
@Chuck: I use both: GUI often for initial analysis, command line to build my own tools for regression or other repeatable processing.
command line is good for scripting; analyzing I'd rather a GUI - regardless, the data format should be documented and manipulatable
Both - Command line and GUI
Generally GUI. Testers like cmd line because it's easier to automate.
GUI when it works. Command line data dump when it does not.
@Chuck, Comfortable with either interface.
Command line seems to give most flexiblity.
@Chuck - gui is preferable - but also can use cmd line
Both have their uses.
a hammer for nails, a screwdriver for screws. Use the right tool for the job, it is not an either/or question.
commandline and vim and menuconfig for kernel preferred!
both are nice to have -- gui and command line
split half/half between guis and commandline.
@Chuck - love the command line (much easier, for automation etc...)
I prefer to have both options available.
depends cmd line usually, but gui for analysis graphs
Usually, command line.
Command line for sure. Think remote debugging.
depends, whatever works
GUI is prefered
used to command line....will use gui if available.
No difference in preference for command line or GUI
GUID for me
Definitely feel more at home at the command line. Way more power. Way more speed.
Depends what the output is.
Depends on what I'm looking for.
No preference
GUIs always seem to be missing features...
No preference.
Where is trace.dat located?
@Chuck, never measured latency
thanks Mike for talking about interrupt handling. a really good refresher about why you don't do any processing in the interrupt routine, but schedule the work after an event is recognized.
great question gschmick
i/o pins and scope
@Mike: Would you explain what you mean by top/bottom half?
i/o pins and scope once
Using external emulator with an embedded hardware
Emulator Logic Analizer Scope
Used PCIe analyzer to see times between interrupt cause packet (either MSI or legacy INTx message) and the first read of the hardware register in the ISR
not under Linux, with a scope and test code to toggle I/O as neeeded
I experienced latency problem with my own uart based micro network -- on a linux with no low latency switched on we experienced problems with the micro-network which needed hard response times from the nodes.
IO pins and scope
In the kernel, you can access fine-grained clocks.
scope and logic analyzers
Yes. We simply would set or clear hardware bits (which add a known overhead), then measure using a scope.
in past twiddled a parallel port bit and time on oscilloscope, have used logic analyzer way-way back (8086 CPU)
Yes. Used a scope, but was not a linux operating system.
have used hardware techniques in the past. trigger a scope on an event and measure in us
io port pins
IO and scope
GPIO and scope
To verify timings, used a scope...
Yes - io pin and oscilloscope.
Havent measured interrupt latency
@Chuck - yes (re. interrupt latency) using a scope
Hardware (JTAG, Logic analyzer)
@Chuck - nevered measured interrupt latency
use emulators
yes. cache tick cnt at start and end of isr then calc difference
Doing that now -- but embedd RTOS systems. Yes an oscilloscope is by my desk to...
Averaged Multiple interrupt calls.
I believe so, but think it was corporate tool dependent.
measured with polling. ac-dc conversion
The Time Stamp Counter (TSC register) is great for measuring latency. It can be used from user space, as well.
tools within VxWorks and logic analyzers
Have not needed to measure int latency.
scope and a gpio pin
Yes I have. Scope.
I havent used it.
io bit and a scope
I've not had to measure interrupt latency... yet
GPIO and a scope
havent userd ftrace
lost audio for a moment (streamer was buffering) - simply stopped the streamer then started again - recovered easily
Question for the moderator (Chuck?). Hw many folks registered for today's session?
how do you know which tracers are running and when?
no, i have not any trace functions.
traced in a simple OS - uC/OS-II
nevermind, flash crashed on me. :)
only used our own debug functions (way back) in Windows CE. Have used Performance Validator (SoftwareVerify.com) more recently for timing information but not completely into kernel; was one layer above.
audio has dropped out here...
Late in Newport!
Haven't used ftrace
Used LTTng on Linux, but not Ftrace
I tried to use LLTng but it was difficult to apply the patches and I couldn't get the module to start without crashing
Used LTTng via some 3rd party tools.
wrote own
Haven't used.
none yet
have not used an OS function tracer, sounds great though.
Wow and all this time I thought you martians were invisible, so you are only hiding. That is sneaky.
I have used the OS trace functions -- some from antiquity.
hello mars.
I have not used it.
No, not that I recall...
@Chuck - not used OS func trace ... but extensive application func trace
vxworks, linux, threadx, and so on
have not
Never used
Haven't used one...
developed my own....
I've never used a system tracer, but I'm interested ;)
yes, for Tru64 Unix

Anyone who has spent any time looking into the lives of licensed victuallers will know that it is not unusual to find multiple connections with pubs within the family tree. The HEMSLEY family of Framfield, Sussex seem to have been no exception.
I was looking at Henry HEMSLEY (my 3x great-grandfather) and his connection with the Gun Inn at Framfield, Sussex, and in the process have come across another family connection, or actually several other family connections with Framfield public houses.
It appears that Henry's son John was also a licensee, firstly of Crown Inn at Blackboys and then of the Barley Mow at Mount Ephraim. Sadly it looks like neither of these pubs are actually functioning as pubs, but it does look like the buildings are still there.
The Uckfield Petty Sessional Division registers of licenses (held at the East Sussex Record Office) reveal that John HEMSLEY took over the license for The Crown on the 14th September 1876, and on the 21st October 1880 it was transferred to Alfred SEAMER, although there is no indication why.
In the 1881 census John is back at the Gun Inn, working as an agricultural labourer. On the 11th September 1890 he took over from Emma MARCHANT as licensee of the Barley Mow. According to the license registers the license was transferred to Henry HEMSLEY (probably his father Henry) on the 14th April 1898.
In this case the likely reason for the transfer is more obvious. John HEMSLEY died on the 3rd March 1898, aged 38 years. It is quite possible that Henry was acting as executor for his son, although John did also leave behind a widow (who later remarried).
On the 21st July 1898 the license was transferred from Henry to Reuben STEVENS. Reuben was Henry's son in law, having married Henry's daughter Edith in 1893. Reuben's time at the Barley Mow was quite brief because the license was transferred to William HOAD on the 13th April 1899.
After Henry's own death in 1914 the license for the Gun Inn was transferred to his son Joseph, although is seems to have taken a few years for the register to be updated to reflect this.
It all seems to be getting quite complex, and I feel that there really needs to be a better way of showing all these pub connections and the locations of the pubs themselves. On top of that there is also further work that could be done within local newspapers, trying to find reasons for the transfers of licenses.

Turns out there IS a small fracture. F@ck.
Freaking sucks but at least we have Willie and Bullock. We did pretty well with Willie starting last season.
Oh, no! This is awful. That prickhead Cousins ought to be penalized for that hard foul. I hope JJ recovers quickly.
Time for Willie to step up. Wasn't he part of the 17-game winning streak last year? Perhaps Clippers will repeat with Willie in the starting line-up. Good day to start another perfect December.
Willie Green is our Mr Ever Ready, he is a little bit slower than JJ but still can hit his shot.
should be interesting to see how we play without him but all is not completly lost, willie green has proved to be a solid player through his short time with us..
Yeah, the silver lining is that the injury is to our deepest spot.
This is scary! Kevin love never really recovered that season from a fracture and refractured it too!
Just made me imagine what would happen if DJ or BG were out. *shudders*.
willie can't play defense.
Probably a trade. We'd freefall in the standings with either of those guys out for 2 months.
WoW! Devastating! This is a different time in ClipperLand! Doc Can get it done!
Wet Willie is back
I had this similar injury.. Jj needs to take his time and recover and not do what kevin love did by playing ball in a short recovery time not to reinjure it again. Rehab is very important and vital key for getting your shot back specially its his shooting time but luckily this the nba and he will recover from his shooting like Kevin love did but it will take time and patience. Reggie can be good for us for his development and defense, mr. Pro willie green is always ready so we're okay
^ Tupac is still alive and a clipper fan!??!??!
The good news is we're deep at the 2, though nobody on the team can do quite what Doc likes as much as JJ can. However, Willie has been good while starting. He even came out aggressive in the preseason, picking up where he left off at the end of last season.
I feel bad for JJ. This has been an ideal situation for him. And he was having his best season overall. Not so much from 3 (though I think that was going to go up over time). But points and overall FG%. He's been a great teammate. He's brought some fire and intensity and high basketball IQ to the team. Plus, he strikes me as a mentally tough dude so I know he'll bounce back once fully healed. Hopefully he'll be fully healed sonner than later.
Very disappointing nonetheless. I guess this was just too ideal. JJ fits so perfectly into this system, with Jamal rounding out one of the best SG duos in the league. Our Clippers apparently can't have too much of a good thing. Ugh! Anyway...
As if I couldn't stand Demarcus Cousins and Zach Randolph any more than I already do. Both have now taken out two important players.
Time for Willie Green to step up!
Lol illuminati
terrible, he's a huge part of our offense. hopefully willie can make a high percentage of his jumpshots
Very bad news, but hopefully JJ heals up faster than projected. That was a scary fall and I'm surprised he didn't hurt his tailbone or neck. Willie should do fine like he always had.
Terrible news. Though I trust wet Willie to step up just like when Chauncey was down last year.
Doc just said in the live interview moments ago that JJ's movements make other components of the offense work better and we'll probably have to do things differently while Willie is out there. Between Doc and Alvin, we should be able to make some things happen...although to have to do that against the best defense in the league right now is gonna be quite the challenge.
This is horrible !!! Willie and Dudley on the wings now ......
are you referring to my signature?
I guess this will teach JJ not to go for rebounds against WAY bigger guys.
This isn't as bad as people think. We still have Crawford whose explosive, Greene and Bullock if need be. I still have no doubt in my mind we will still be at the top of our division when he comes back.
CP3 is playing out of his mind, DJ is having a breakout year and Blake is doing really, really well.
This injury stinks, but Dudley has been overshadowed a bit and perhaps a few extra looks a game can get him going. Were still a very potent offensive team without Redick.
I just hope for our sake ( as in the fans ) they baby him back into playing form. Miami is taking extra special care of Dwyane Wade this season and other teams are doing the same crap with their own key players because the playoffs are going to be brutal, ESP out West. Our team needs to dial down the offense and focus a little more on D.
So theoretically, JJ could be back by late January, enough time to incorporate him back into the system. I sure hope it doesn't effect his shooting for some reason.
Be positive! Byron Mullens is healthy!
When I saw the injury I expected a fracture and about 2 months out. So I was
prepared for this. Jamal will get more playing time.
How much longer before Barnes is back?
This is actually really annoying, not because the spots can't be filled, but because I don't want to see Willie Green trying to play SF again if Barnes is still out for some time.
We know Detroit Willie can hold his own like he did last year, and it will be nice to see Bullock develop more. He's been a good hustle guy so far, but it'll be extra sweet to see his shots drop like they were in summer league.
Luckily we're deep enough to take the hit, and it's early enough in the season that we'll have plenty of time to incorporate Redick back when he's healthy. Go Clips!
Willie will do fine. He was our best slasher last season when plays broke down. He might not be as fast as Redick, but he can hold his own. Free Willie!!!!!
Anyone thought of starting Reggie? That Is a big 2 and 3 combo right there
That is why I never trust reports that say "x-rays are negative" because x-rays can't detect hairline fracture.
Dudley making stupid passes
Oh man this sucks!! Really hope our other players step it up big. Didn't see the game but it looked like Bullock had a solid stat line
If Dudley were playing the way he's supposed to be, he should move to starter at SG and bring Barnes up instead of willie. I'm sure they'll try some different things but yeah at least we have some depth.
This is almost the worst injury possible though. Best shooter breaks shooting hand. 2 months and he's gonna miss something like 30 games and when he's cleared he hasn't shot a basketball in that amount of time. Now we don't have much margin for error with other guys getting dinged up. Hope Jamal can stay healthy until Feb.
JJ remains optimistic:
http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/redick ... iliar-spot
As I said in the gameday thread,i fell just like that, landed like that, and shattered my wrist. Of course I slipped on a marble (really!), didn't get hit by an MMA fighter that got no penalty for being an arsehole.
This is a tough loss for an entire month. Think Reggie should start at SG as soon as Barnes comes back.
All I'm worried about is if he comes back the same... also disappointed to not be able to see what JJ could contribute in the next 6-8 weeks.
JJ Redick has been exciting to watch so far... damn.
He's apparently broken that wrist a couple of times before and came back with no problem. So if anyone has the confidence to shoot after the break heals, it's JJ.
Here's a video of Redick's comments about his injury.
http://www.nba.com/clippers/video/2013/ ... p4-3060965
Please start Reggie Doc!
Really bummed out by this - hope is doesn't tank our season.
Tank the season? Sheesh, you make it sound like Paul and Griffin are out or something
I'd wager that Redick is equally important to our offense as blake (but not cp3). I think blake might be a season away from having a cp3-like impact consistently. Redick is the special sauce that makes our offensive attack lethal and special. Without him we have a middling defense (although improving) and a very good (but not amazing)offense. He was our prized acquisition this summer aside from doc. It is a big loss.
I know. Aside from Redick, Griffin is our only other consistent offensive contributor on the starting unit. We can't count on Dudley, DJ, and even Paul to give us the perimeter offense that Redick brings. In sundays game Paul tried to make some shots to tie the game in the fourth and he just doesn't shoot as well as he did early on in his career. He has grown so accustomed to distributing that he has lost his shot.
JJ will not need surgery after seeing hand specialist today still out 6-8 weeks

He also flat out says , " I am keeping the team in LA "
I was wary at first about Ballmer, but wow, that interview absolutely cleared any doubt in my mind! Welcome to LAC Mr. Ballmer!
This interview gives me everything I wanted to know about Steve. His enthusiasm and hunger to win really is amazing.
After seeing this I couldn't have asked for a better owner. I'm so so so so excited right now.
Also, major props to the interviewer who asked all the right questions.
We hit the f**king jackpot!
I love this guy... and so will the 29 other owners because he just doubled the value of their investments.
Congratulations fellow Clips fans. A new era begins...
Damn we have a great owner guys ,lots of energy to propel Clippers to championship.
Honestly, Clippers fans should give Shelly Sterling a standing-o if they ever show her on the big screen. Past actions aside, she completely outmanoeuvered her husband's legal team to bring this debacle to the cleanest possible end in the shortest possible timeframe.
Oh man. After hearing this interview, I am so excited for this Clippers team. We now have a supportive owner who is willing to go the distance in doing whatever it takes to win a championship. What a blessing. I'm looking forward to hearing Doc's reaction along with the players.
Totally agree
Yeah, after hearing that she put the Clippers' needs first, I no longer felt the animosity I had towards her. She paved the way for the Clippers to be even more successful under a much better owner. Kudos to her for getting this mess solved as quickly as possible.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for Shelly's lawsuit against V. Stiviano that prompted Stiviano to seek revenge by releasing that infamous tape, we still would be knee-deep in Donald Stirling crap. Lol
Props to Shelly Sterling true fan of LA Clippers!
Like a breath of fresh air. Just don't trade blake!
I love this goofy white dude!! I'm pumped!
In hindsight, Docs maybe did a good job in letting her attend playoff games. That gesture basically change or help her mind in providing Clipper's interest first!
Shelly comes out of this with a cool $1,300,000,000 profit AFTER tax (and potentially, control of ALL of Donald's assets if he truly has lost his faculties), and hopefully the tranny faces civil and criminal penalties for illegally recording and distributing a private conversation. I think we can declare a winner in this catfight!
What a great day! Just what I've always wanted as a clips fan
He wants to keep the team in LA and clearly wants to win a chip. I am so excited about having a new, cool owner!
Wow we are definitely staying in Los Angeles. This man just reassured all the doubters. He has great energy.
Got me pumped!!!
Thread already exists. Can one of the other mods please merge... it's not easy to do on my phone.
Shelly def deserves props.
I got it
Why wouldn't he buy the practice facility? Apparently in Shelly's packet there was an option to buy the building. That concerns me...why not buy it if you plan to stay?
Man, you really enjoy being the ant at the picnic, don't you.
Could be any of a million reasons. Survey and escrow alone could take months, dragging into next season, delaying and jeopardizing the sale... perhaps he's eyeing a piece of real estate to build his own facility.
I swear... when we finally win a championship, you'll be the guy complaining about the parade route.
p.s. Cheers, Caps!
I don't think he will move team but buying that building would settle it
the 'Ballmasters' don't have a 'D League ' team any more.
the 'Clipper' name will pass down to them in the practice facility, eh?
Oh, when President Jordan is inaugurated in Jan 20, 2017, the Ballmasters will need a new center.
And Ballmer isn't a billionaire with a fifteen buck ball cap and a Sportsclip mullet haircut. He is a guy who actually made his money, not inherited it.
Jim Buss must be shaking in his "fake everyman" Payless shoes thinking about Steve Ballmer competing for L.A.'s attention. He is clearly out of Ballmer's league.
It sure looks like Los Angeles went from the best owner, the late Dr. Jerry Buss, to the best owner, Steve Ballmer.
As if you need more reassurance that the Clips are staying.
DUDE, did you not just watch the interview??!? Hahaha
He is NOT 100% moving the team. No other way to make you believe it, it' even has to be agreed upon with the board of all the owners and it just would take a miracle and a brain malfunction for it to happen. I say there is .0000000000000000001 % chance he moves the team.
I'm 95 percent sure he won't sell but he did get a little shifty when they asked the question. Started stroking his nose and his demeanor changed. Plus he didn't buy our practice facility.
I did notice the same thing, BTW. Still, he looks like a great owner.
He does seem great if he's telling the truth. We don't have a choice but to trust him, I guess. I will be heartbroken if he is lying
I am very happy. Look at some of this guys motivational speeches. This guy goes ham. They say he's the next mark Cuban.... Only way richer lol
I hope not. Can't stand Cuban. He thought he outsmarted the CBA and acts like he is smarter than everyone else. Can't stand him.
I have a strange feeling we get Lebron for next year... I know weird but I feel it in my heart.... No DJ though and I'm fine with that
I have that same feeling. I also feel that nobody who craves the spotlight -- and Ballmer does -- would trade L.A. for Seattle. Right now Jim Buss is looking in the mirror and saying, "Maybe the mullet is out of style...nah!!!"
You bet Chris Paul is going to be talking to his best friend Lebron over the summer. Btw, excellent interview by Steve Ballmer. From what I've read/seen about him so far, he may end up being the most enthusiastic owner in the entire league.
CP3, LeBron and BG -- that team would never lose except when they would lose interest.
I seriously doubt it happens this offseason. Aside from cap considerations, LeBron really loves Riley. My guess is that he opts in for next season and gives Pat the chance to keep the team in contention. 2015 could be a different story, though.
Great interview. I wonder what his presence will be like at games. Will he sit behind the bench Mark Cuban style or be up in the suites? In any case, he's pumping a lot of positive energy into the franchise.
As if you need more reassurance that the Clips are staying.
I wonder if that includes a potential move to Anaheim as well.
Pretty much anything is better than sterling.
Btw if sterling really does have dementia then it makes sense why he finally started opening up the purse strings a couple years ago... He didn't know what he was doing!
The Los Angeles Clippers of Seattle.
We aren't getting LeBron this summer, but after seeing this I feel like we will be the only other team that will peak his interest and will be deep into LeBron rumors all summer until eventually he re-signs with Miami.
He is the anti-Donald Sterling. I preferred the Ellison group but he isn't a bad runner up . Not bad at all.
If you mean that we're going to be America's team and Seattle is in America, then yeah.
Otherwise, Seattle had its team and they let them walk. If they want them back, go bother Oklahoma.
If Seattle's fans, politicians, and money guys were really interested in getting a team back, they'd be trying to get a D-League team and packing the house every night (something they mostly failed to do for the Sonics when they were in town). That's kind of like what OKC did to prove they could support a team when they "rented" the Hornets during Katrina.
Instead, they are far more interested in pretending to be innocent victims who got screwed by the evil NBA, which is why they hypocritically feel entitled to any team that goes up for sale (despite how angry they were when OKC took their team away).
Oh my god this is too funny, can't wait to see this on the sidelines
haha repped!
Here's a very long (it's in 3 parts) Steve Balmer interview on dutch television a couple a years ago. You get to know a lot about him. Some dutch language (without subtitles) but not much. Seems like a great enthousiastic guy.
Oops forgot part 2 and 3, (although part 1 is more fun)

Epic pass wins high school football game
Pass and comeback will become legend
UPDATED 9:49 AM CDT Oct 03, 2012
Down 43-36 with roughly 1-minute left in the game, the Oakmont Vikings of Roseville, California marched down the field and scored a touchdown in the final seconds leaving zero time on the clock.
With the score now at 43-42, the Vikings could have gone with an extra point attempt to tie the game with Lincoln and push it into OT, but that's not what they did. The Vikings went for the 2-point conversion using a very unique, extremely risky, no-look pass: The Bouquet Pass.
View the final minute below to see the amazing drive by the Vikings.

This wool Felted Pizza is so yummy you'll be tempted to try a bite. Pre-cut into four slices of dough and tomato sauce, the child can decorate the pizza with cheese, peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni (or are they beet slices?). Comes in a handwoven serving tray, just the right size. 8 1/2" across. One of my favorites for a child's kitchen! Hand felted in Nepal by a Fair Trade group we are pleased to support.
"This gorgeous pizza is precut into four slices of dough and tomato sauce. The child is left to decorate the pizza with cheese, peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni. It comes in a handwoven serving tray. This is just a beautiful toy. One thing, I've come to realize is that children are able to recognize beauty and seem to play with toys that are handcrafted and made beautifully differently, almost with a sense of respect. My daughter enjoyed feeding pizza to her teddy bear and anyone else who would sit still long enough. Candace H. Hopkinsville KY 11/17/08" See picture below.

This stage of my Sussex Day walk was another quite short section with the destination being more interesting than the actual walk.
From Hazeldene Terrace it was a case of retracing my steps up Western Road, taking a short-cut through Manor Road onto Cuckfield Road and following that to the High Street. The cemetery is a short way along the High Street at the end of South Avenue.
A couple of relations are buried here or have their ashes interred here, although I only knew the exact location of one, my great grandfather Henry John TROWER. His grave is marked by a small headstone and a holly tree.
It occurs to me as I write this that my great grandfather has unintentionally become a constant theme running through this walk. He was baptised at Henfield Church, married (twice) at Sayers Common Church, lived at Vicarage Cottage, worked at Cobbs Mill, lived in Hazeldene Terrace, his funeral was held at Hurstpierpoint Church and he was buried in Hurstpierpoint Cemetery.
I wandered around the cemetery in the hope of discovering another relation, it wasn't a methodical search, just a random wandering checking out the names. To my surprise I did find someone. A simple plaque marked the location of the ashes of William BURT, my great grandfather's second wife's second husband (we knew him as Uncle Bill, which was a lot easier).
I like Hurstpierpoint Cemetery, it is well looked after (the north-west corner has been kept uncut to allow wild flowers to grow) and still in use, it is quite small and compact, with a nice brick chapel and all enclosed by a solid brick wall, to the south the view is across to the South Downs and Wolstonbury Hill.

November is National Prematurity Awareness month, a cause close to my heart. My son, Col, was born at 25 weeks, almost eight years ago. We were airlifted to Denver when my water broke at 24 weeks. Col was released from University Hospital 101 days later, on his due date.
I had many notions of what motherhood would be like while my baby was still safely paddling his amniotic waters. None of them included repeated blood draws, x-rays, brain ultrasounds, IVs, shots, steroids, antibiotics, ventilators and continuous supplemental oxygen, all before he was due to enter this world.
Some medical professionals recommended before Col was born that we forego trying to save his life, the long-term risks associated with such an early birth were too great. And once he was born, the doctors in Denver were unable to make any clear prognosis on our child�s future. It seemed they were legally obligated to give us the laundry list of every possible disability when I raised the shaky question, �Is he going to be okay?�
There were some rough patches in Col�s first few years. He learned to crawl, walk and then run while constantly tethered to an oxygen tank. We were sent to the emergency room numerous times for �respiratory distress.� I had the phone number of the home oxygen supply company and our pediatrician memorized. But, eight years later, our son is strong, bright, healthy and ringing the high notes of my heart every day.
The following story is what was happening on Col�s 18th day alive.
Day 18
Entering the neonatal ICU is like stepping out of the wilderness into downtown Las Vegas. Everything is loud, bright and artificial here. Also, the odds stink and we pray a lot. We pass through the triple gauntlets of security, check-in desk and finally the hand-washing station, where my husband and I scrub off every particle of the outside world and start praying.
I am very superstitious about it all. As long as I�m friendly with the nurses and keep the words, �please-let-him-be-okay� threading through my mind like an inky typewriter ribbon, this truth will imprint itself and we�ll be among the lucky ones. Also, these words are the locked-armed protestors who hold back all the other possibilities. The ones I can�t imagine � the ones that could whoosh your heart out of its bony cage, flinging it into orbit outside your body forever.
We walk through the sea of incubators, each draped in the same cheery but faded, zoo-themed fabric. Alarms ring and nurses clickity-clack across the crisp linoleum floors.
Inside our son�s plastic shell it�s a balmy 98 degrees, humidity piped in like the set of some breezy beach movie. He�s swaddled in a tiny scrap of pale blue cloth, and wedged between two cotton bolsters, designed to mimic the pressure of the womb.
�Hi baby,� I whisper, sticking my arms through the portholes to lay a hand on his back, no bigger than a deck of cards. His dark blue eyes are open.
�He�s waiting for you,� Nurse Alison tells us. �He�s been awake the last 15 minutes.�
I blink back tears. I want to scoop him up and carry him out of here.
�I�ll take it from here,� I�d tell the nurses, batting away their protests like a swarm of paparazzi. But he�d die without these machines that keep his lungs inflated � inflated! � and buzzing with oxygen.
Three weeks ago my son was safe in my womb, fluttering around his amniotic ocean, aquatic and anonymous. I spent my days managing our small-town herb shop, where we dispensed dark, fragrant tinctures, knobby, finger-sized roots and the belief that medicine should come from the Earth. Our baby was to be born at home, into my husband�s strong carpenter hands. The only unanswered question was what scented candle to burn during my labor: lavender or rose.
Then a sudden and voluminous gush between my legs sent us to the hospital. The nurse-midwife pronounced, apologetically, �Your amniotic sac broke. There�s no fluid left in your uterus.� Ever the optimist, I waited for the good news, the part about western medicine�s fix for this troublesome problem. �Once your water breaks,� she continued, �labor is likely to start. We need to airlift you to a level 3 hospital immediately; if your baby is born here, we can�t save it.� I was 24 weeks pregnant.
I place a thermometer in our son�s armpit and Dan and I change his diaper, so small I could hide it in my hand. Dan lifts his legs and our boy�s thin skin, mapped with blue veins, sags off his thighs like a puppy�s. I wipe his bottom with a single cotton ball.
Nurse Alison approaches with a medical binder that�s absurdly thick for a baby alive 18 days.
�Rachel?� She places a hand on my shoulder. The nurses know to approach me gently; I�m quick to cry.
�He�s not back up to his birth weight yet,� she says, opening the binder to an unimpressive graph.
�But he�s tolerating his feeds well,� I respond in the language of the NICU.
�We really want to see him hit 2 pounds,� she said. �He may be working too hard. If he doesn�t start gaining weight, the docs want to put him back on the ventilator, take him off breast milk and start him on fortified formula.�
I am falling down a cliff. Like so many other times in this place, I want to cover my ears and belt out songs of peaceful resistance; �La La La. I don�t hear you� my toddler self would say. We�re supposed to be the miracle family, beating the grim statistics the sad-mouthed doctors have warned us about. The doctors who can�t promise that my son will be normal, that one day he�ll ride a bike, mud splashing his legs as he turns around to flash a smile that says: �See? I told you I�d be okay!�
I wish I could be more like the mom who hobbled in yesterday wearing the blue hospital-issue gown � the secret handshake of mothers who�ve washed up on the shores of Pregnancies Gone Awry. A nurse said that her baby will need an IV threaded into his tiny, premature hand. �We�ll give him a little sedative first to keep him still.� The new mom leaned in and whispered to her swaddled wisp of a son, �You�re gonna get the good drugs.�
I nod compliantly to Alison; she hands me a pre-emptive tissue just as the first tears squeeze from my eyes. Dan hugs me. He�s better at this than I am. He sees our son frolicking in the woods, while all I can do is keep the mantra, �please-let-him-be-OK,� unspooling from my heart.

I regularly visit charity shops, usually in search of books (as a substitute for all the second-hand bookshops that have closed), but also for DVDs and computer software.
I found a real bargain today, a battered box entitled Family Tree Genealogy Suite (Version 4) produced by GSP Ltd, now part of the Avanquest Software Group.
Now I know what you are thinking, probably the same as my wife would "what on earth do you want that for?", after all it was published in 2003, and I already have a decent piece of genealogy software and if I didn't there are several free options for genealogy software.
Aside from the fact it was only £3 and that was going to charity, the real reason for buying it were two CDs included in the "suite". The two CDs are the installation and data disk for UK-Info 2003 Lite.
The reason this program is so good is that it contains the names and addresses of 44 million registered electors from the UK. According to the CD it contains "data drawn from the Electoral Roll collected by Local Authorities prior to November 2001".
The key thing here is that this data is from before the changes in legislation which enabled people to have their details removed from the public version of the register. The data is available online from sites like 192.com, but for a price.
Interestingly the latest version UK-Info Pro V15 now only contains 25 million names and addresses (plus 14 million Directory Enquiry listings and 3.4 million company records). The price tag of £150 puts it well out of my reach and I would imagine most genealogists.
I've installed the program and tested it, everything seems to work fine. I've done some searching, so now all I need to do is create a source record in Family Historian and start adding some address details to my relations.
The lesson from this is to always keep an eye open for family history software, not for the software itself, but for the freebies that are included with it.
