2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
Almost everything about this young man jumps out at you. With that in mind, he isn't a special athlete, but beyond that DeCastro has all the tools necessary to be an elite lineman. He can mirror with the best of them because of great footwork. He's got a great base that can anchor and hold up defenders. DeCastro has a thick frame from top to bottom and does very well to keep leverage with his pad level.
Ask any offensive line coach what's that one trait they'd like to see in their linemen and almost all of them would tell you they want to see mean streak. DeCastro has that in spades. He'll bang heads with a guy, will him to the ground with any means necessary and is not a dirty player.
Displays a great natural bend in his knees and waist, rarely caught overextending. On running plays, he's a tank with great hands and will explode into the second level with ease. He's very strong in his lower half and quick enough to pull out of the tackle box. In pass protection, he doesn't get caught getting upright and does well to absorb contact without collapsing the pocket. DeCastro may not be a sexy pick, but he is the type of player teams can build around for the next decade.

Can he pull to lead a back down field is his speed and mobility enough to block in space if yes the Lions can use him.

Rock solid starter on day #1. Can go as high as #9 but makes sense at #10-19.

Where: Honda Center
When: 5 p.m.
TV: Fox Sports West
The Pacific Division-leading Ducks looked to extended their home winning streak to a franchise-record tying 11 games when they played host to the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night. The Ducks also tried to stay within striking distance of the NHL-leading Chicago Blackhawks (21-1-3).
The Ducks' power play continues to be the league's best, clicking at a sizzling 29.2 percent success rate going into Sunday. What's more, they were 10 for 21 in their last eight games (47.6 percent) before meeting the Blues in the second of three games this season.
Ducks goaltender Viktor Fasth blanked the Calgary Flames 4-0 in his last start on Friday, following Jonas Hiller's 2-0 shutout Wednesday of the Phoenix Coyotes. It was only the fifth time in the Ducks' history they recorded back-to-back shutouts and the first time by different goalies.
Team captain Ryan Getzlaf recorded the 500 th and 501 st points of his career with a goal and an assist in the Ducks' rout of the Flames, only hours after he signed an eight-season, $66-million contract extension. It's the longest and richest contract the Ducks have given to a player.

Pacman refusing to take a blood test apparently...
Pacman refusing to take a blood test apparently...
Oh come on I was waiting for something like this to happen. ffs why cant they just do it simple and fight.
Im away at a festival with no way to watch the fight on the scheduled date, push it back a couple of weeks and ill be a happy geezer. A selfish geezer sure, but a happy one no less
There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.
its just mayweather being a dick trying to mind game pac.
and a counter mind game by pac refusing.
its not like its an official test by a commision....its team mayweather who's asking for it. making excuses before they fight???
It's just like these weenies in the States who kvetched about being "wiretapped" after 9/11:
If Manny has nothing to hide, he has nothing to worry about.
Read somewhere that Manny has problems taking blood and it takes him like 4-5 days to recover from it, Roach doesnt want his fighter going into a fight that weak so Manny won't do it that close to the fight (Floyd requesting 30 days before)!! Think Manny said he'd happily take one after the fight!! Roach also commented on how this is just Floyd pushin' his weight around and Mayweather does not control the wrestling world lol!! All of Mannys team are calling this Floyds way of getting out of the fight!!
Where i read it..
This is basically Floyd thinkin' he can do what he wants, which maybe he can, he is even demanding who does the drug test, probably cause thier under his pay roll
floyd is a massive douche
I dont want to accuse anyone of anything illegal but lets look at the facts:
Manny started boxing at 106lbs he now boxes at 147lbs! That is a increase of nearly 3 stone! He is extremely lean as well, next to no body fat.
Now he cant give blood randomly as it takes him 4-5 days to recover, something sounds very very suspicious to me. IMO and it is just my opinion that there are extras in his diet he doesnt want being found.
I hope I'm wrong but I've got a funny feeling I'm not.

The New Auditing Environment
Jim Cook, Ernst & Young global director of retail and consumer products and Americas director of industries, visited campus as part of the Accountancy Lyceum speaker series to discuss the new Ernst & Young LLP audit methodology. His presentation was entitled, "Ernst & Young Global Audit Methodology: Responding to the New Environment."
Recent accounting scandals have invited scrutiny and government intervention into a profession that has traditionally been autonomous. Accountants, post the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), now have to answer to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), which is responsible for maintaining standards, conducting inspections, and enforcing rules.
As a result, firms like Ernst & Young have shifted attention to "new oversight and reporting," said Cook. The atmosphere has lead to the heightened importance of "professional skepticism, audit quality, and diligent execution." The physical manifestation of this is paperwork - a large increase in necessary documentation.
The paperwork is in large part due to Section 404 of SOX. Section 404 is an attempt to obtain what Cook termed "Congressional and public accountability." But will it prevent another WorldCom? That, according to Cook, is up for debate. He went on to explain that, "most fraud is perpetuated and/or concealed with inappropriate journal entries and other adjustments."
In general, the accounting industry is dealing with a major transition period: 2004 was only the second full year of SOX implementation. To the future accountants in the audience, "Internal audits and financial statement integration will be second nature," said Cook. It becomes a matter of dealing with change versus change becoming the norm.
About the Speaker
Jim Cook is a proud graduate of the University of Illinois who received his BS in accountancy in 1971. He has 33 years of experience serving a wide range of major clients, including companies such as Whirlpool Corporation, McDonalds Corporation, and S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc.Cook is committed to understanding each clients business and industry.
Besides being an annual guest speaker in the lyceum series, Cook maintains an active relationship with the College as a member of the Executive Committee of the Dean's Business Council. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Alumni Association was president of the College of Business Alumni Association.

REDLANDS - The Inland Empire Resource Conservation District will give a hands-on demonstration of how to plant a living fence at a workshop planned for Saturday at The Farm Campus at the Grove School.
Held in partnership with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), the workshop will discuss the benefits of having a living fence - also known as hedgerows or windbreaks - in one's backyard or facility, said Mandy Parks, district manager of the IERCD.
Living fences attract beneficial pollinators - such as bees - and wildlife while providing shade and privacy. They are also low maintenance and use very little water, Parks said.
This will be the first workshop the IERCD will hold on living fences.
Workshop topics will cover which plants to plant, where to buy them, how to maintain and care for them and what their irrigation cycle is like.
The IERCD will provide written materials, and plants will be available for purchase at the event through Wild California Native Plants of Beaumont.
"A `native landscape' does not mean cactus and rocks, it means a lot of things," Parks said. "(And) the more grass you take out of your lawn and incorporate (a living fence), the less time you have to spend on your garden on a Sunday."
The group is expecting at least 20 people to show up for the four-hour workshop, but Parks said they do not have to attend to purchase plants from the Beaumont nursery, which sells locally collected seeds.
"These are attractive plants that are not widely promoted in area nurseries often," Parks said.
The organization has already received a number of responses expressing interest on not only the workshop, but living fences as well, she added.
"We've been really pleased, and surprised by the responses of area residents," Parks said. "And we just want to continue to look for the opportunity to showcase natives and show residents their importance and how to incorporate them."
The workshop will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Redlands school at 11126 Iowa St.
Quinn Cypher, IERCD field ecologist, will lead.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
"Please allow your barkeep a minute or two to craft your cocktail with the finest spirits and freshest ingredients," reads the cocktail menu at the Martini Bar at the Raleigh. It's a notice that your patience will be rewarded with a carefully created libation. In fact, you shouldn't mind if the bartender takes 20 minutes to pour such tasty concoctions. Our favorite, the Lola, combines Dos Maderas rum, passion fruit purée, basil leaves, jalapeño, lime juice, and homemade syrup into a sweet-and-spicy beverage that allows the smoky flavor of the rum to come through. This is just one of the well-priced $14 speciality cocktails. Drinks aside, when you enter the retro-refined space from the lobby, it's easy to see why Details magazine in 2010 called it one of the "10 Best Hotel Bars in the World" and a "monument to forties Florida cool." And don't let the location fool you. You won't find Jersey Shore knockoffs here. Locals love it because it's still a slice of authentic South Beach glamour.
The only thing more imaginative than the Wynwood Walls backdrop at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar is the cocktails. Our favorites include the Nunca ($12) — named for the Brazilian graffiti artist — a caipirinha that replaces cachaça with Japanese sake along with muddled strawberries and mint. The fresh ingredients add a delicate sweetness that doesn't overpower the sake. The Kenny Scharf ($12) pays homage to the American painter with a tequila and berry blend that starts out sweet but leaves the taste buds with a subtle kick of the spirit. For beer snobs, there are microbrews such as the North Coast Brewing Company's Old Rasputin ($7) — a Russian imperial stout — and the Full Sail Amber Ale ($5). You'll come first for the food, but you'll return for the libations.
Sunday was invented less as a day of rest and more as a time to recover from Saturday night. (That's not in the Bible, in case you were preparing to look.) As you sit at GreenStreet Café in the Grove, trying to keep your brains from oozing out of your skull, questions about the previous evening begin popping into your head, such as: Was it a good idea to mix tequila and Jägermeister? Was that a golden retriever, a French dude, Jamie Foxx, and two hookers at the bar? Just how much did the bar tab run, anyway? As you decide whether you'll be able to keep down some eggs, your server brings along the only antidote guaranteed to flush the poison out of your body and turn you into something resembling a human: a bloody mary. GreenStreet's bloody ($11) is presented in an extra-tall glass. As you lick the rim, encrusted in celery salt and cayenne pepper, shards of life start to return to your withered body. A sip of the salty, spicy elixir fills you with much-needed hair of the dog. The combination of fresh tomato juice, horseradish, pepper, and seasonings hits the spot as you lean back on a red-velvet love seat and finally notice — hey! — it's a beautiful day.
"How do I live without you? I want to know!" LeAnn Rimes's love song should be crooned into the mike and dedicated to the best karaoke spot in Miami. Studio has offered wannabe singers good and consistent karaoke for ages. You can belt out just about any song, in a group (Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun") or sad and alone (Patsy Cline's "Crazy"). Your song can be out of tune, and your white knuckles can intensely grasp the microphone to canned applause and an audience of drunken bachelorette-party attendees. Located in the basement of the beachfront hotel the Shelborne, Studio is so dark you'd never know you were on a sunny strip of tourist heaven. There's no place more open and more ready to put you onstage than this place. Not only is it open every night of the week until 5 a.m., but also every famous person, short of Barack Obama, has been spotted here, and photos on the walls prove it. The two-drink minimum sucks, but all the fancy working and just-for-show instruments beat the crap out of playing empty-handed air guitar. Even though Karaoke Nazi Ronnie is no longer there, don't worry — he was replaced with a younger dude. Note: Flirting will bump you to the front of the queue.
It's dusk and you're cruising down West Dixie Highway in a black Cadillac at 66 mph. A pair of plastic dice dangles from the rear-view mirror, a stolen pool cue leans on the passenger seat, and a cheap vinyl bowling bag full of empty beer cans and melted ice sits in the trunk. Your back pocket bulges with a thick, wet roll of $5 bills. And you're sweating like a scared pig on speed. The plan: Slide into Styx's street-side parking lot, leave the Caddy near the door, swallow some cheap brew, hustle a game on a corner table, and triple your money in two hours before splitting as fast as possible without making anybody nervous enough to knock you out, slash your tires, or something worse. An hour and a half later, the bets are laid out on the bar, pinned under your third $8 pitcher of cold, watery Budweiser. The mark is feeding the table four quarters and racking one last round. On TV, the Dolphins are losing again and time is running out. But right here and now, you're minutes from winning big, just trying to stay sober enough to clear the table, sink the eight ball without scratching, slip out the door, hop into the Caddy, and tear away at top speed with exactly the right amount of cash to get the hell out of Miami.
Real sports bars, just like true-blue fans, are usually a little rough around the edges. Think about it. When you watch the Dolphins pound the Pats at Sun Life, are the suits in the skyboxes the ones pumping the Aqua and Orange with energy? So why in hell would you expect to find real 305 passion in some slick corporate joint full of flat-screens and $9 appletinis? If there's sushi on the menu, you're not at a real sports bar. So leave immediately and head for somewhere grittier, somewhere full of the working stiffs who bleed black, silver, and teal, and the guys who save their paychecks to see D-Wade and LeBron in person. Somewhere like the Midtown Sports Bar. The bar's ethos is painted right on its adobe walls, where proudly homemade murals for the Heat, Fins, and Canes mark the spot. Just in case you're not catching the vibe, the "No Guns" sign on the front door and buzzer controlled by the bartender should clear it up. And once you're inside, you'll find a comfortable, dimly lit watering hole with plenty of TV sets and beer, including $1.75 domestic drafts every day. There are pool tables and darts for halftime. And as for the rough-looking characters crowding around the tiny tables at game time, they might not be headed for the corporate box seats anytime soon, but you can bet you're ass they'll be cheering on the MIA.

Integral serialist composers:
The Domain technique of Boulez. Used in Le marteau sans maitre and other subsequent pieces, the domain technique involves a tone-row:
2 4 2 1 3 I 4 2 1 3 2 II 2 1 3 2 4 III 1 3 2 4 3 IV 3 2 4 3 1 VEach permutation generates a "domain" by multiplying these chords and intervals with each other. The multiplication may be understood as transposing one chord on each of the notes of another. If we notate, for example, the chords of domain I with
aa ab ac ad ae ba bb bc bd be ca cb cc cd ce da db dc dd de ea eb ec ed eewhere aa consists of the interval Eb - F transposed on Eb and F, i.e. the chord: Eb, F, Db; ab will consist of the same minor seventh interval (Eb - F) built or transposed on each sound of the second chord (D, C#, Bb, B), i.e. the chord: D, C, C#, B, Bb, Ab, (B), A; etc.
Boulez observes that elements ab and ba contain exatly the same sounds and so do ca=ac, de=ed, etc. He calls these total isomorphisms. Partial isomorphisms are created by all the sounds in the same row or in the same column since they all have one element in common. The diagonal: aa, bb, cc, dd, ee is made of unique elements. The composer organizes then the music as a play between these similar, partially similar, and unique groupings.

Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — After eight years at Iowa State, assistant men's basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger said it was time for a new challenge.
Otzelberger is hoping his next move will be the last one before becoming a head coach.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar announced Tuesday that he had hired Otzelberger as an assistant, calling him a "tenacious recruiter." Otzelberger told The Associated Press that Romar convinced him a move to Seattle would help him earn a head-coaching job someday.
Romar "really said 'I look at you as somebody that's on the brink of taking that next step,"' Otzelberger said.
Otzelberger's departure is the biggest blow that Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg's staff has suffered in Hoiberg's three seasons in Ames.
The 36-year-old Otzelberger had been with Iowa State since 2006, arriving with former head coach Greg McDermott. Otzelberger was promoted to associate head coach in 2010 under Hoiberg, who at the time cited Otzelberger's presence as critical in rebuilding the program.
Though Otzelberger's strength is recruiting, he also was responsible for Iowa State's game plans over the past two seasons and he helped Hoiberg lead the Cyclones to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances for the first time in 12 years.
"The way Fred approaches basketball is really creative," Otzelberger said. "Fred also showed me a lot about believing in the guys and building their confidence."
But Otzelberger was concerned that having NCAA Division I experience at only one school, Iowa State, would ultimately hurt his chances of landing a head coaching job. Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett and Seattle's Cameron Dollar were both former assistants under Romar, and Otzelberger hopes he'll soon join them as head coaches.
"I just felt like this was the next step in my progression," Otzelberger said.
The Huskies have fallen short of the NCAA tournament in each of the past three seasons. Before that, Washington made the NCAAs three years in a row and reached the regional semifinals in 2010.

An estimated 41.3 million Americans have Hispanic ancestry, so it's no wonder we honor Hispanic culture, traditions and people every year. The month-long heritage observation begins Sept. 15, the day Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua achieved independence from Spain. Mexico and Chile commemorate their independence days later in the month. This year, Family Tree Magazine is joining in the celebration with a roundup of Web sites to help you discover your Hispanic roots.
• Cuba Gen Web <www.cubagenweb.org>: Search for military records from the Cuban War of Independence (1895 to 1898) and the 10 Years War (1868 to 1878), passenger lists (mainly from the 1800s) and Santiago marriages (1670 to 1799). These search forms can be tricky to navigate. When you click the Search Form button for any of the databases, a giant grid appears. You then can click on a box and type in the appropriate term.

One Direction on their new dolls
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Walking by the droves of tween and teen girls posted outside of their hotel, such is the everyday life for the boys of One Direction.
Want more One Direction? Watch the boys hit the red carpet exclusively on Yahoo! UK for the premiere of One Directions 'This Is Us' live next Tuesday, August 20 at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 17:00 London time!
In an explosion of security guards, catering and hurried production people, Yahoo! arrived at Hasbro's press day for the new One Direction dolls—that now sing. The dolls the boys were holding during the interview had their batteries removed, as previous interviews that day were a litany of button-pressing on One Direction's part. In testing one of the dolls that were displayed on a speaker in the corner, and even before the sound bite "That's what makes you beautiful" could finish, a chorus of groans floated out from behind the stage curtain.
In a flurry of foam bullets, in came Liam, Louis, Zayn, Harry and Niall. Louis and Zayn wielded some neon Nerf guns, showing off their sharp-shooting skills as they clamored into their seats on the set. Those bullets were pretty powerful, hitting the far wall a good 50 feet away.
Boys will be boys as they say, but even with a sleepy Harry and a fidgety Louis, once the camera was rolling, One Direction lit up like the London Eye. Charming, fun and with a razor sharp English wit, the boys had the room under their spell.
Check out Yahoo! Music's interview above with the world's leading boy band!

(CLEVELAND) -- Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is headed to the All-Star Game. For now, he's the only player that will represent the Tribe in Minneapolis, Minn. on Tuesday, July 15.
Corey Kluber could join Brantley at Target Field for All-Star week if he wins a vote against four other American League starting pitchers. The final vote also includes Dallas Keuchel (Astros), Rick Porcello (Tigers), Garrett Richards (Angels) and Chris Sale (White Sox).
As for Brantley, it'll be his first All-Star Game appearance of his career. So far this season, the 27-year-old is hitting .321 along with 13 HR, 57 RBIs, 10 stolen bases, 58 runs scored and 103 hits. Brantley's 10 assists in the outfield are tied for the most in the Major Leagues heading into Monday, July 7.
Brantley, who fans affectionately call "Dr. Smooth", has quickly become a fan-favorite and leader on the 2014 Cleveland Indians.
Kluber meanwhile, is also aiming for his first All-Star Game selection after going 8-6, with a 2.86 ERA and 137 strikeouts.
The Indians finish up the first half of the 2014 season at Progrssive Field this week when they welcome in the New York Yankees for a four-game series and the Chicago White Sox for a three-game weekend set.
The Tribe currently sits third in the AL-Central Division, six-games behind the first place Detroit Tigers. When it comes to the AL-Wildcard standings, the Indians are 4 1/2 games back.

Yes, it works with both EZRS and EZRX just fine. I didn't try to disable (/D switch), I just set the time to 300 seconds, which is the maximum.

Definition of the word HAPA :
1) Hawaiian word for "half"
2) A person of Mixed South Pacific Islander ancestry. If an individual has one parent whom is a South Pacific Islander, and one parent whom are of an ethnicity outside of Pacific Islander, they would generally be considered "Hapa"
3) A Musical Duo from Hawaii that consists of one member of South Pacific Ancestry and one guy from New Jersey.
Often encapsulated as the "Sound of Maui" or the "Soundtrack of Hawaii" the music and sound of the group HAPA evokes a place that many people have referred to as heavenly. The sound? Expect to hear hypnotic, liquid guitar runs woven around clear, tenor Hawaiian vocals and immaculate harmonies driven by poetic lyrics exulting the rapture of the Hawaiian landscape, History and Mythology. Just add to this a dose of American Folk-Rock, you have what has been described, as "the most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows" (Maui Times). The overriding quality of their music is one of passion, beauty and serenity, found in the majestic tones of the oli (chant), mele (song) and the exhilarating innovative sounds of virtuoso Guitar performances. "Masterful" is how Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Stephen Stills describes the groups Guitar skills.
The group's recordings have infused fearless and brilliant production while weaving unique, inventive elements of sound and textures into their intricate South Pacific tapestry. Over the years this has included adding such diverse instruments on their recordings as the Irish Uillian Pipe, Hawaiian Pahu Drum and the Electric Sitar. Guest appearances have included friend and Folk Rock icon Kenny Loggins singing in the Hawaiian Language; Internationally recognized Slam-Poet and Storyteller Kealoha; to the final recorded vocal performance by the "King Of Hawaiian Entertainment" Don Ho. "Complex, sophisticated and flawlessly conceived and engineered, HAPA concerts and recordings are as elaborate and visceral as today's Hawaii" (Kauai Times) These disparate ingredients blended together musically in the Pacific emote the unique flavor of what Hawaii and HAPA music is: "Beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful" (Los Angeles Times).
Their music has appeared in countless National TV shows and feature films, and the group was showcased in a PBS Documentary hosted by Peter Fonda, who describes Hapa as "The music of my Bali Hai". National Geographic kicked off their "Geo Sessions" music series with profiles on the group and Ben Harper. HAPA was the first Hawaii Musical act to be given to honor of being introduced and performed as themselves on the smash Television series, "Hawaii 5-0", performing their song "Olinda Road" which closed the first season's finale. An estimated 25 million viewers watched the show and its re-broadcast. "Since my initial move to Hawaii to appear on "Lost", the HAPA song "Olinda Road" will always remain the Soundtrack for my Hawaii-life" (Daniel Dae Kim).

EVERETT — A former Everett Community College runner accused of robbing an Everett bank allegedly spent the heist money on strippers and a used car.
Investigators say they also found a plane ticket to Puerto Rico in one of the locations where Bereket Million Piatt had been hiding after the Jan. 23 bank robbery. Piatt, 20, reportedly told friends he kidnapped a girl, robbed a bank and intended to flee the country. He was arrested about a week later in Tacoma.
Prosecutors on Friday charged Piatt with first-degree kidnapping and robbery. He was being held on $250,000 bail.
Prosecutors allege that Piatt was armed and threatened to kill two people during the crime spree.
A 16-year-old girl told detectives she was walking toward her car near EvCC campus when Piatt pointed a gun at her, demanding she drive him around the streets of north Everett.
He then ordered her to park near a bank on Broadway. Piatt allegedly threatened to kill her if she drove off.
Piatt reportedly then walked into the bank and handed the teller a note, demanding $9,000. The note also contained a threat on the teller's life. The robber ordered the teller to turn over his driver's license.
Piatt returned to the teenage girl's car and ordered her to drive away. He threatened to track the girl down and kill her before he got out of the car near Providence Medical Center Everett, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson wrote in court papers.
The girl was frightened by the gunman's threats and didn't report the incident to police until the next day.
Police eventually released images of the dreadlocked robber captured on the bank's surveillance cameras. Tips poured in from members of the college community who identified the robber as Piatt.
Friends and associates later told detectives that Piatt had admitted to them that he'd forced a girl to drive him to a bank he robbed, Dickinson wrote.
His friends told police Piatt immediately began spending the stolen money at a Seattle strip club and on a used car.
Piatt also allegedly told friends that he planned to flee the country. Investigators found a plane ticket to Puerto Rico. They also found various items for making disguises and a dreadlock wig.
In November 2011, Piatt won a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges cross-country championship and helped EvCC claim the team title. He attended EvCC for one more quarter, but didn't enroll this fall.

CoEE Program welcomes leading stroke expert
One of the world's leading stroke experts, Dr. Souvik Sen, is the new endowed chair in stroke neurology at the University of South Carolina. He comes to Columbia as part of South Carolina's Centers of Economic Excellence program.
Also appointed professor and chairman of the department of neurology at the School of Medicine, Sen is an expert in stroke treatment and research. He will help lead the Stroke Center of Economic Excellence (CoEE), which is dedicated to reducing the state's stroke rate, as well as developing new stroke treatments, such as drugs and biotechnology-based therapeutics.
Sen's stroke research focuses on patients in order to understand risk factors and test new approaches for stroke treatment and prevention. Specifically, his interests include acute stroke treatment (treating strokes within hours of onset) and cardio-embolic strokes (strokes caused by blood clots that develop in the heart and travel to the brain).
Sen is an expert in stroke treatment and research and was the founding director of the nationally recognized University of North Carolina Stroke Center. He plans to work to establish the Midland's first Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center in Columbia. Certification from the Joint Commission is considered the gold standard for stroke care providers.
"The stroke-focused center will make the latest stroke treatment and prevention strategies available to the population in the region and in the state," said Sen. "We will also focus our efforts on improving the level of clinical care and providing access to advanced care through research—this will reduce mortality and disability from stroke."
Sen is one of three stroke-related endowed chairs recruited to lead the Stroke Center of Economic Excellence. The other two, Dr. Robert Adams and Dr. Marc Chimowitz, are based at the Medical University of South Carolina. Adams has played a central role in the development of the REACH Stroke Network, a statewide telemedicine initiative. Chimowitz is the national principal investigator on a multicenter stroke prevention trial. Sen plans to collaborate with both endowed chairs to ensure stroke patients throughout the state have access to life-saving, top-tier stroke care.
The Stroke CoEE is supported by Health Sciences South Carolina. Partners in the initiative include Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center, Palmetto Health, MUSC and USC. Stroke care is particularly important in South Carolina, where the rate of deaths from stroke was 138 per 100,000 people, while the national rate was 98, according to the Centers for Disease Control's statistics from 2000 to 2006.

Behind-The-Scenes with Mark Vassallo in Croatia for Our 100th Issue
The preparation for our 100th issue is underway — here's a behind-the-scenes sneak peek.
The preparation for our 100th issue is underway and we have some of our favourite people contributing: such as, Mark Vassallo a long-time collaborator (he also did our very first cover shoot) and all-time legend. Mark put together a swim shoot in Croatia and sent us some snaps and an update from behind-the-scenes:
"A beautiful day in Rovinj, Croatia, shooting for the 100th Issue of Oyster with Bruna Kazinoti. Maja, a new face here, is totally amazing and is destined to be a huge star. We shot by the sea and at my house, and all the clothes were sent from Oz; a great edit from the Oyster team. It was great to shoot for Oyster again — I still remember the shoot for issue one!"

Hi, I have the same problem... :-) Anybody help???
Hi there,
here is my problem : my wireless card is not detected with backtrack v2.
the command ifconfig -a only shows "lo", my lan card doesn't seem to be detected either.
however, the card seems to be loaded (it appears with lsmod). I tried to run modprobe ipw3945, but it didn't change anything.
Please help me!
Hi, I have the same problem... :-) Anybody help???
Did you install intel drivers for the card?
i have a intel 3495 in my note book and as far as i could rerearch this is not supported. i had to buy the netgear wg511t with the atheros chip set and it works great. remember to google this topic has been covered extensivly
go to /usr/src/drivers/ipw3945/load <----- and INTER
thanks will try but is there any benifit 2 having 2 cards....well i guess i mean is it as easy to switch between to cards as it is in windows.
What i did to get mine working was booted into Backtrack using
bt irqpoll
I had problem with mine too, but after I installed drivers it's working fine.
Check this out should be explained everything in detail:
In order to use the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection driver for Linux you will need the following:
1.The binary microcode image
2.The binary user space regulatory daemon
3The ieee80211 subsystem version 1.1.11 or newer
4.Linux kernel 2.6.13 or newer
The drivers are already included. Even is you are really lazy there is a nice little shortcut posted in the ->backtrack->wireless->misc menu. It says IPW3945. When you click it should load the drivers and start your card. Thenand you should see the card. ThenCode:ifconfigto manually adjust it to the AP orCode:iwconfigto use a GUI.Code:sudo wlassitant

Evolution Hoax
A report carried on 18 April, 2007, on the web site of the Armenian news agency Armenews discussed the impact of the works of Adnan Oktar, based on the fact of creation, both in Turkey and internationally. The report referred to how the impact in Turkey of the work of Adnan Oktar and the BAV was a deep-rooted one, and related that Truman State University's Assistant Professor of Physics Taner Edis estimated that if this organization disappeared tomorrow, the Turkish population would still remain tilted towards creationism.
Quoting from a report on the subject in the French daily Le Temps, the report went on to say:
A book by the name of Atlas of Creation, which is based on the Qur'an and rejects the theory of evolution, has been widely distributed in Switzerland. The editor of the book is from Turkey, where Darwinism is increasingly losing ground.
We are at the publisher, Global Publishing … After France and Belgium, Switzerland has now made the acquaintance of the latest book by Adnan Oktar, who writes under the pen-name of Harun Yahya. Despite the criticism directed towards the book it still deals a lethal blow to Darwin's theory of evolution. Emre Calikoglu says "These criticisms are the proof of our success." …
More or less everyone here speaks French. BAV President Tarkan Yavas, who is very optimistic regarding creationism, laughingly tells us: "We are curious, too. Will they really burn the book under the EiffelTower, as they said they would?" and adds: "some 6 million films and DVDs by Adnan Oktar are downloaded from the Internet every month. People will soon ask themselves why they had not realized the truth earlier."
In Turkey, the struggle against evolution appears to have achieved an almost total victory. A study published in Science magazine and carried out by MichiganUniversity in 32 countries reveals that Turkey is the country in which Darwinism is held in the least esteem. According to accurate figures determined by the TurkishAcademy of Sciences, 5% of students believe in Darwinism, 25% say they find it insufficient and 75% absolutely reject it.
The accounts given by the dynamic creationist Adnan Oktar have caused Darwin to lose all credibility in Turkey … The Creation Museum opened in Istanbul, the conferences, and the distribution of the work by a deputy in Parliament; his influence is increasing.0000-00-00 00:00:00

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by JoeyBoy718, Nov 25, 2012.
31-10 at the half.
Was there ever any doubt?:laugh2:
The Giants are still about to run this division for the next few years. Even if RG3 continues to be unstoppable, JPP is young and will only get better too.
The Cowboys and Eagles will just be left in the dust...the Eagles had their run in the 2000s but couldn't finish and the Cowboys had two chances to prevent the Giants from ever accomplishing anything and they blew it.
Eli isn't getting any younger and JPPis a sick player but he needs players around him for the long hail. I say when Coughlin calls it quits they take a big step back
Ya'll said they were running away with the division 4 weeks ago. So is it official this time? Or when they lose will they be in danger again?
I'm so glad. I"m sure this won't stop the blind homers from continuing to believe the Cowboys are going to the playoffs though.
You're glad something happened that hurts the Cowboys? I'm...shocked. Oh, and, by the way, I consider the constant 'blind homer' jabs to be unproductive, and a bit insulting.
The Cowboys play of recently is hurting the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys were worth a damn this season, whatever the Giants do or did, shouldn't "hurt" them.
Cowboys are only hurting themselves.
And, no, I am not glad. This is by far the most frustrating season to watch since the early 2000's.
I would say this is just another season like the last 16. When JJ goes, they will compete again.
Call me crazy but the Va-Giants aren't running away with anything at all. Eli is aging, Coughlin is probably getting old man disease, and the rest of that team will surely blow many games the rest of the season. I loathe the Redskins like anyone else here but I want them to smack the Giants around next week.
Confused why you seem to believe I was responding to you, but, in any event, I don't believe any Cowboy fan watches our of division Giants games and roots for a Big Blue blowout.
I'm sorry this season has been so hard on you.
.......won't be able to solve that Giants front 7....and either will his oline. He is about to be muzzled for the time being. They'll get a better oline the next 2 years and if his health holds up he'll win a super bowl: he's proven me wrong and i admit it. That said, he isn't ready to beat the Giants in December...........yet.
Man...aren't you tired of predicting underwhelming performances from RG3 and being wrong? One would think you'd learn by now.

2013 Lexus Cars
Mirroring the predominance of its parent company in the mainstream market, Lexus has become the most successful and biggest-selling of the three Japanese luxury brands in the U.S. Toyota managed to carve Lexus into a marque whose original slogan, "The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection," still provides an ideal and a mission that is both appreciated by and credible to American consumers. When Lexus launched in 1989, the first vehicle was the LS 400 sedan, which importantly shared no major elements with previous Toyota vehicles. It established the brand's continuing reputation for the market's best balance of quiet, ergonomics, engine performance, manufacturing quality and overall value. By 1991, Lexus was the top-selling luxury import in the U.S., and J.D. Power & Associates was ratifying its status with the highest marks in its survey of initial quality. Lexus launched the GS line in 1993. In 1998, Lexus introduced what arguably became its most ground-breaking vehicle: the RX 300 crossover. RX established a sleek styling template and overall platform dimensions and characteristics that would hugely influence generations of competitors. Lexus produced the first production hybrid luxury SUV, the RX 400h, in 2005. Dubiously flush with success, Lexus also launched the hybrid LS 600h recently, at a sticker price of more than $100,000.

Use of High-Resolution CT Imaging Data in Lung Cancer Drug Development: Measuring Progress
Use of High-Resolution CT Imaging Data in Lung Cancer Drug Development: Measuring Progress
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death throughout the United States.[1] Despite massive efforts, tobacco consumption continues to grow, with a large and predictable impact on premature mortality across the globe.[2] There is an urgent need to improve outcomes for lung cancer patients, but the process of developing more effective drugs for lung cancer is hampered by the extraordinary cost of pharmaceutical development and a cumbersome development process. While many factors contribute to high development costs, one of the most significant is the cost of clinical validation trials. This cost is increased by the lack of precision inherent in using the manual measurement technique for drug response evaluation using the current standard approach, called the RECIST criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors).[3] RECIST is the validated tool used in most clinical trials.
The Lung Cancer Workshops have focused on developing image-processing tools to be used in evaluating drugs to manage small, early-stage cancers. The use of RECIST has not been validated for use with tumors under 1 cm in diameter. Since management of early cancer will be a progressively greater focus of drug development, defining and validating a new approach to drug response assessment is a critical challenge to progress in treating early lung cancer.
The purpose of the Fifth Prevent Cancer Foundation (PCF) Lung Cancer Workshop was to review progress in the management of drug therapy using image-processing approaches with spiral computed tomography (CT),[4] including consideration of drug response in chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). This combined focus was based on the frequent comorbidity and clinical overlap between these two tobacco-related diseases, in part, related to shared molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis (Table 1).
The Workshop was held in Oak Brook, Ill, on April 26-27, 2008. It was cosponsored by the PCF and the Optical Society of America (OSA). A major interest of PCF is to encourage development of drug therapies for early lung cancer, and OSA is promoting the innovative use of image-processing tools in clinical management.
Early Lung Cancer Management
Dr. James Mulshine of Rush University Medical Center gave an overview of the goals of the Workshop and reviewed past progress and the current lung cancer research environment. Small-volume primary lung cancer is the area where image-processing techniques for quantitative evaluation may have their greatest impact.
Supporting this focus on early lung cancer management, a recent report from Taipei analyzing the results from six prospective CT screening studies using a three-state Markov model with a Bayesian approach suggested that this approach was promising.[5] Evaluating all available published lung cancer screening data that met their a priori criteria and assuming a 10-year time horizon of follow-up, they found that spiral CT had a median sensitivity of 97% and advanced the diagnosis of lung cancer to 1 year earlier than chest x-ray. The authors concluded that with annual CT screening there would be an estimated 23% mortality reduction with a relative risk of 0.77 (95% confidence interval = 0.43–0.98). From a comparative perspective, this preliminary result approached the mortality benefit seen with mature breast cancer screening trial results,[6] highlighting the significant potential in managing early lung cancer.
Slow Progress in Image Acquisition
Publications from past Workshops have included an article that reviewed progress up to the fifth meeting[4] and the first OSA monograph, which included in-depth reviews on aspects of quantitative imaging for drug evaluation from previous Workshop participants.[7] A key strategy outlined in the monograph is to make Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image files from research papers available for postpublication evaluation as a research resource, to address the challenge of accumulating sufficient numbers of useful images associated with clinical outcomes data.
This led to a dialogue with Dr. Anna Barker, Deputy Director of the National Cancer Institute, which resulted in the development of the Response Imaging Database for Evaluating Response.[8] However, in terms of accumulating images for drug-response assessment software, the acquisition of sufficient numbers of paired, characterized high-resolution, thoracic CT image files from individuals before and after receiving cancer drug therapy remains a challenge.
Defining the reasons for the slow progress in acquiring images has been a persistent concern of all the previous Workshops. Issues that have been identified include establishing "ownership" of the images, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) concerns, institutional review board (IRB) concerns, and other regulatory issues. One surprising aspect of this problem has been the amount of professional time required to acquire, de-identify, distribute, and then verify the image file-sharing. Much of this strategic problem relates to the heterogeneous way patient images are managed across inpatient and outpatient health-care settings. This makes it very difficult to link serially acquired images from an individual patient undergoing cancer therapy with the eventual clinical outcome of that patient.
A strategy was proposed for academic medical centers to more effectively organize their image storage and distribution infrastructure as an integrated enterprise resource. The goal would be to have the imaging data systematically stored in relationship to other clinical data provided by electronic medical record. If the clinical and imaging information systems are aligned, this may allow for rapid and efficient acquisition of imaging and related translational research data at incremental cost, so that validated clinical outcomes data will accurately define evolving "ground truth."
This approach is general strategy for all types of imaging tools, including magnetic resonance imaging and positron-emission tomography. The gap in the availability of images linked to clinical follow-up is an important, underrecognized challenge for improving imaging research, especially in early disease management. Imaging research is generally perceived to be a radiological problem, but this strategic gap cannot be overcome unless radiologists work closely with clinicians to allow images to be routinely linked to clinical outcomes in large numbers of patients.
Imaging Issues in Lung Cancer
The specific application of imaging in lung cancer management is limited by significant unmet needs. Series of cases are required for imaging tool validation in each clinical management setting, and in these different settings, there are distinct challenges for image analysis.
Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging has been the cornerstone of defining patient prognosis and also provides a useful framework for discussing the nature of the distinctive image-processing challenges across the spectrum of lung cancer. For clinical trials in stage IV lung cancer, imaging is typically concerned with characterizing the sites of metastatic disease (M+ disease). In this setting, since the disease can extend throughout the body, volumetric CT of the primary lung cancer is often not the pivotal basis for determining drug response. In this circumstance, disease progression is commonly at a known site of metastatic disease or with detection of a new site of metastatic involvement.
In the setting of stage II/III lung cancer, there is typically involvement of regional nodal sites with cancer (N+ disease). This is also a challenging setting since the involvement of mediastinal nodal structures can be complex and bulky. In addition, since the mediastinum is the confluence of so many vascular, lymphatic, and bony structures, reliably segregating the volume involved with nodal cancer can be quite challenging. For this reason, image-processing strategies involving only volumetrics may have limited utility.
In the setting of stage I lung cancer, the standard approach is to use surgical resection. Recently, a new trial structure has been employed to evaluate the effect of brief exposure of new drugs on stage I lung cancer patients, while they are awaiting surgery. This experimental trial structure is called a neoadjuvant window-of-opportunity trial (referring to the 2- to 3-week time interval during which a patient is awaiting thoracic surgery to remove his or her cancer). In this trial design, the primary endpoint is determining volume changes in the primary lung cancer. This measurement can be quite accurate, as the boundary of the tumor is surrounded by air-filled alveolar tissue allowing for an exquisite signal-to-noise ratio.

Moab •
By the time the parade started, Moab was basking in its own warmth and beauty, and hundreds of people had gathered Saturday for the town's second annual Pride Festival.
Just as last year, a lot of people came in costume. One man had on a shiny blue body suit with a matching, and somewhat alarming, helmet. A rather hairy guy was wearing a flouncy dress and patent leather boots. Purple-haired women danced in sync, their acrylic high heels ticking on the pavement.
And a big old van, looking like something out of the Mad Max movies, led the crowd with booming music.
As we walked, though, I was looking for Zach Wahls, who had emailed me to say he was "super tall, can't miss me." I'd replied, "super short, can miss me." I finally spotted him, wearing a backward ball cap, white T-shirt and jeans and walking with a woman who looked even shorter than me.
Zach is the guy whose 2011 speech to an Iowa legislative committee launched his incarnation as a nationally recognized LGBT activist. He is the author of My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family.
After the parade, Zach and one of his moms, Jackie Reger, sat with me at a picnic table. What, I asked, had compelled him to confront Iowa lawmakers about a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in a place where such unions already existed?
We started with a little history. Zach was born to Terry Wahls, a physician, in 1991. Three years later, his sister was born. In 1996, Jackie and Terry had a commitment ceremony and later were married.
Zach said he'd grown up being compared "to a child-abuse victim. I was called deficient, broken, flawed. My family was not a real family. I still get it today."
Growing up in the '90s, he said, "I worried the government would take me away."
But he also had parents who instilled a love of books, learning and compassion. (Jackie is a physician's assistant.) He debated in high school and pursued a degree in sustainability studies at the University of Iowa until his fame took him to TV, radio and personal appearances to campaign for LGBT rights.
"The speech itself, and everything that happened after, I think it was a very powerful reminder of the strength that words still have," he said. "Sometimes I think we forget that oration has always been a part of this country's history. And to have been a small part of that history is an incredible honor."
Zach believes that the struggle is the civil rights movement of our time.
"I firmly believe we are on the right side of history," he said. "And after saying you have the moral high ground, you have to walk that road. Darkness cannot erase darkness, just as hate has no hope of ever erasing hate."
Zach has been featured on CNN and MSNBC talk shows. Just last week, Anderson Cooper had him on his show. He hasn't made Rachel Maddow's show, but they've met. Zach thinks Maddow has the intellectual firepower that's well-suited for her style of commentary. He just finished her book, Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power.
He's also, as he put it, "actually infatuated" with her.
The last year and a half have been a whirlwind for Zach, and at 21 he knows it won't last forever. "If this is a job, I'm trying to put myself out of work," he said.
Still, the experience might propel him into environmental activism, what he calls the next big rights movement. At present, he has no political ambitions.
But at 21, he has brought a measure of experience and clarity to the national debate on same-sex marriage and its rights and responsibilities.
And while there were the wild dressers and dancers, rally cries and T-shirts labeled "Utah Gay Fathers," the paradegoers who gathered in the Old City Park did what families do. They browsed the booths, listened to live music and gathered on blankets and camp chairs.
To me, it was impossible to imagine them as something other than people who love each other like Zach, his sister, Zebby, and their moms.

He wrote, lectured, and exhibited widely during this final phase of his career and established the Association of Constructive Art as an outlet for his ideas about rational structure and symbolic references to nature. In his late works he broke away from the grid format that had informed his earlier abstract compositions but continued to rely on strong outlines to define flat shapes. 1943 America recalls the wooden toys he produced in the 1920s. Their basic geometric shapes are re-imagined in paint as components of a vibrantly colored steamship.

Pacers' George rides hot shooting to career-best month amid rare company
By Ben Golliver
In hindsight, the NBA's online media was probably a bit indelicate in its collective reaction to Danny Granger's knee injury earlier this year. It took just a few moments after the Pacers announced in early November their star forward would miss months after receiving an injection in his ailing left knee before the discussion turned to Paul George and how this opportunity might help thrust the 22-year-old towards stardom.
This was a classic case of "the grass is greener on the side with more unscratched potential." Granger's lot in NBA life was clear: a fringe star who, at 29, was a top-10 small forward in PER averaging 18.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. If not capable of outright dominating, Granger was good enough to be the No. 1 guy on a balanced Pacers team that advanced to the 2012 Eastern Conference semifinals and briefly had the Heat, dealing with injuries at the time, on the ropes. Granger's numbers had trended downwards over the last few seasons, as the collection of talent around him improved and he offloaded some of the heavy lifting, but he is and was a reliable performer.
George, on the other hand, entered this season as a far more audacious and unknown quantity. Not afraid to leap over 7-footer Roy Hibbert or cover his body in glowsticks during the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest, George has the length, size, strength and charisma of a future star. His ceiling is meaningfully higher than Granger's, even if he only stepped into a full-time starter's role for the first time last season and even if he finished that year as Indiana's fourth-leading scorer.
The potential had been bubbling on the stove top; Granger's injury made it time for dinner, ready or not.
There were some early concerns after an uneven November, but George has hit full-stride in December, earning Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors earlier this week and playing, quite simply, the most productive basketball of his career. While George's blossoming wasn't immediate and while it hasn't powered Indiana to the top of a weak Central Division, it has happened much like his advocates hoped for back in November.
Take a look at the chart below, which compare's George's scoring, rebounding and assist averages over the course of his three NBA seasons. Note: only months in which George played 10 games are included.
The stark upward trend that you would expect to see in a blossoming star in a larger role is evident across the board. George is scoring significantly more points than ever before in December while also raising his rebounding and assist numbers. Of course, it must be noted that George is No. 29 in the NBA in minutes played per game at 35.8, and he's seen that number rise even higher in December, as coach Frank Vogel is playing him 37.0 minutes per night. Under such conditions, we should expect his numbers to rise.
Even when turning to per-minute stats, though, George's progress is evident, if a touch less obvious. Here's a glance at his per-36 points, rebounds and assists over the same time period. Again, December 2012 represents career high-water marks (or close) in all three categories, although the effect is muted slightly by the increased role.
What to take from this second chart? Mostly a confirmation of anticipated results, but also a reaffirmation of the context at play here. George is not only filling more minutes than ever before but he's filling them more effectively than ever before, particularly when it comes to scoring.
There will always be doubters when players take a big step forward like this, and that's particularly true here because George has crossed the 20 points per game threshold in 10 December outings. Plenty of guys can average 12 points per game, as he did last year; only nine NBA players are averaging 20+ so far this season.
Count Bucks coach Scott Skiles in that group of skeptics. The Indianapolis Star delivers Skiles' assessment of George from earlier this week.
"He's obviously very talented and has played much better," Skiles said prior to Tuesday's game at the Bradley Center. "But that's a pretty small sample size."
"Nothing against James Harden, but he played one (great) game for Houston, and it was like the greatest thing that's ever happened. Let's wait and watch and see what people do."
Skiles' point is well-taken, even if it sure sounds like his cynicism might be influenced by the fact that he starts two inconsistent guards with poor field goal percentages who are prone to violent swings in the quality of their play. If any NBA coach were to preach in favor of the big picture, it would probably be the one tasked with turning the Brandon Jennings / Monta Ellis into a playoff team.
The good news for George and the rest of us is that it's fairly clear where we should look, in the short term, to gauge the sustainability of his play: his three-point shooting. Back in a November win over the Hornets, George scored a career-high 37 points by setting a Pacers franchise-record nine three-pointers, something that not even Reggie Miller could match. Throughout much of December, he was simply been red hot: he went five straight games from Dec. 5 to Dec. 14 making three or more three-pointers in each game. Through Friday, he's shooting a career-high (and team-best) 40 percent from deep. And he's hitting at that clip despite shooting significantly more threes than in previous seasons. Last year, he shot 3.5 per game; this season, he's averaging 5.5 per game. Indeed, while George is shooting more from all areas of the court this season, due in part to Granger's absence, the deep ball is by far the largest growth area in his shot location chart. Take a look.
A skeptic like Skiles might point to George's last three games, which have seen him shooting a combined 3-for-15 (20 percent) and argue that the law of averages is catching up with him. He would also likely circle the increased number of long two attempts as a point of concern. Optimists, though, might equally argue that George's 38.5 percent three-point shooting in 66 games last year provides enough sample to justify a reputation as a reliable deep weapon. Until George's three-point shooting percentage meaningfully dips, Vogel has every reason to encourage George to jack from outside.
George's early season data, even if it leaves these questions unresolved, does make one thing clear. If he is capable of sustaining these levels of production, either through the course of this season or during 2013-14, the final year of his rookie deal, the Pacers are going to have one expensive player on their hands. Consider this: a grand total of one player finished last season shooting 38 percent or better from deep while averaging 19 or more points per game. That man was Thunder forward and three-time defending scoring champion Kevin Durant. In other words, George is scratching some extremely rare air during this streak, but one that feels within reach for him as he continues to transition into a lead scorer's role and advance towards his prime years. Certainly, he's not Durant, but his combination of length, leaping ability and range is very, very unique in this league. (Incidentally, Granger is actually one of the players to make the 19+ points and 38+ three-point percentage club in recent years, doing it in 2008, 2009 and 2011.)

Speaking Topics
An Evening with Nathan Englander
Praise for Nathan Englander
Nathan was great! The students were really looking forward to his visit and they were not disappointed. His answers to their questions were thoughtful and insightful—he seemed so genuinely interested and engaged with them—it's what we hope for in our visitors, so we were very pleased with not only his skills as a writer, but with his skills in passing ideas on to students and explaining those ideas so well.Comments from the audience were all very positive about the reading and conversation on stage—he was engaging and funny and charming and altogether delightful."— Hendrix College
I have attended many programs here at Siegal and found this program to definitely be at the top of my "BEST" list. Nathan was natural, engaging, intimately honest, and funny. Lunch was like sitting in a living room one-on-one with him. Anyone at lunch couldn't get over how Nathan just sat there and answered questions and spoke to us all as if we were all friends having lunch together. After the evening lecture people lined up for book signing and some people who didn't have a book, just stood on line to thank Nathan and to talk to him for a minute. It was a wonderful day and very well received.— Laura and Alvin Siegal, Jewish Lifelong Learning Program, Case Western Reserve University
Praise for What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
Showcases Mr. Englander's extraordinary gifts as a writer.— Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
I'm in love. For evidence that collections can be just as satisfying, read as deep, if not deeper, and beat with as much life and insight as a hulking novel, look no further.— Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair

SAN BERNARDINO - Opening statements for the trial of two people accused of planning and eventually murdering a local television repairman were postponed a day after one of the defense attorneys called in sick.
The trial was expected to start Monday inside the San Bernardino Superior Courthouse but was rescheduled to commence Tuesday.
Deputy District Attorney Cary Epstein said he expects a full day of testimony Tuesday following opening statements.
Laurie Cone and Gary Michael Gallion have been charged with murder, robbery and burglary in the April 2 death of John "Jack" Cone, according to court records. Laurie Cone also has been charged with solicitation of murder.
According to police, Laurie Cone reported her husband's death to police when she returned to home and found his body about 4:20 a.m. The residence doubled as Jack Cone's business - D/C Radio and Television - on North Sierra Way in San Bernardino.
Laurie Cone and her daughter, Jackie Cone, had spent the evening gambling at San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.
It was just days after the Cones' 29th wedding anniversary. About 20 guns and John Cone's Ford F-150 pickup were missing from the residence.
Police say an investigation showed that Laurie Cone conspired to have her husband killed for personal financial gain. Laurie Cone and Gallion are facing life without the possibility of parole.
Shawna Bayless, who was arrested with the two defendants, took a plea bargain before a jury panel was selected.
Bayless, who is expected to testify during the trial, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, voluntary manslaughter and residential robbery.
The trial is expected to last about two and a half weeks.

Poor experience from start to finish
30 mins prior to arrival after having accommodation booked for a while I was phoned and told I would have to move accommodation as there were maintenance issues.
I assume this meant overbooked or they had sold my room for a better price. I refused to move about 5x and they then said thery would contact other customers. On arrival at the hotel reception was chaos. Customers weren't being dealt with in order, those who pushed to the front seemed to have priority. There were also a couple waiting for a taxi to the hotel I was told I would be staying at, rather than the one I had chosen. The room was on a high floor and at best looked heavily subsided. The floor was uneven as was the bed. After checkout I was contacted by the manager to enquire about my stay. I reported the issues and was assured it would be investigated. I haven't heard anything a month later. Poor business ethics and poor customer service. AVOID in order to avoid disappointment.
