The Boston Bruins have reportedly removed their signs directed at Lightning fans, something we at Bolt Prospects never wanted to happen. If you believe in them, leave them. And we definitely think attacking the B's marketing department was not the best response.
Did we find the ones going after fans specifically offensive? Sure. Mostly because Lightning fans are tired of biases against ALL southern market teams and the myth that there are no fans in Tampa. We're not the Panthers. Check the stats, check the records, check out the fact the Lightning were a mere two spots behind Boston in average attendance this year (Boston was 16th - it's not our problem they play in a Lil' Tykes Funhouse). At any rate, here's one of the BP Forum's responses to their "Bigfoot. Loch Ness Monster. Lightning Fans." sign.
This photo was taken during the Stanley Cup Finals in 2004, in Game 7, a game the Lightning won 2-1 to claim the Stanley Cup. We'll provide a link here for fans of some teams that haven't seen one in a couple generations: Missing in Boston
If you have anything in response to the Bruin's signs, please post in our forum. The best ones will be moved to the front page.

Welcome to spring training, Bryce Harper. The swing looks pretty good.
Harper hit a long solo homer and a single, helping the Washington Nationals to an 8-6 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday.
Andrew Stevenson and Matt Skole also connected for Washington, and Gio Gonzalez struck out one in a scoreless first inning. Joe Nathan, bidding to fill the Nationals' closer spot, gave up one hit in a scoreless third inning.
Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki injured his left leg in a collision at the plate with Washington prospect Rafael Bautista and had to be helped off the field. New York's Gavin Cecchini went 1 for 1 with two walks and scored twice.

Q: My son and daughter-in-law divorced a year ago. My daughter-in-law retained the family home and my son moved in with me. They share a 4 1/2-year-old son who goes back and forth between homes. The parents get along and can work through most problems, however, there is one thing on which they don't agree and it is causing huge problems for my grandson – his mother still breastfeeds him before he goes to bed. Sometimes it is very difficult to get the child to settle down at our house. We've asked mom to stop, but she won't. What's good ex-etiquette?
A: Good ex-etiquette is to try to stay as consistent as possible between homes – and you definitely are not – but rather than turn this column into a discussion on the merits of breastfeeding, consider that the real red flag here is that these parents don't have a way to problem-solve in place. Ironically, they may have faced the same problem even if they were still together – mom and dad don't agree how and when to wean their child. How would they have handled the disagreement? Fight until one gives up? Storm out and block further discussion on the subject? Together or apart, parents have to decide how they will solve problems when disagreements arise.
From what you tell me, mother's continuing to breastfeed interferes with dad's ability to soothe the child. This seems like a logical assumption, but it may not be the only contributing factor. Lack of communication and the parents' inability to compromise as the child goes back and forth between homes may also be contributing to the child's anxiety and inability to settle down.
More importantly, it's grandma writing to me, not dad, so I'm wondering whether the continued breastfeeding is really bothering grandma, and dad really doesn't care.
Research tells us that more than 50 percent of mothers in the U.S. don't breastfeed at all, so the choice to feed a child to the age of 4 or 5 will stick out like a sore thumb. Research also tells us that breastfed children have stronger immune systems, fewer allergies, better bonding, the list is endless, but we similarly have to take note of the social implications of breastfeeding a child until this age while living in the U.S.
In other countries, breastfeeding may be the child's main food supply and breastfeeding a child to 4 or 5 is a matter of life or death – that is not the case in the U.S.
This child will be starting school next year and the subject may be discussed with his friends. Without his ability to properly explain, breastfeeding until school age could be misunderstood by his friends' parents, which could open another can of worms. This is a sensitive parenting decision and there are many factors that must be considered – certainly BOTH parents must weigh in.
If you're asking me to weigh in, I suggest that the mother stop. Research implies that most children will naturally wean themselves around the age of 3 – some earlier, some later. This child is far older, which suggests the decision to continue may be more about mom than in the best interest of the child. I suggest a therapist who knows more about the everyday ins and outs weigh in at this point.
Remember, communication is the key component to positive coparenting. Ex-Etiquette rule No. 1, "Put the children first." Ex-Etiquette rule No. 10, "Compromise whenever possible."

The Ireland-Bryant Affair
April 2010: Oh, no he didn't. Oh, yes he did. During a pre-NFL Daft interview, Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland asked Oklahoma St. wide receiver Dez Bryant if his mother was a prostitute. Ireland apologized, but four weeks later, and only after the incident was made public. "No, my mom is not a prostitute," Bryant told Yahoo Sports. "I got mad - really mad - but I didn't show it."

Severe storms around the UK: Project DIAMET
April 2012 - Heavy rain and strong winds are familiar parts of the weather scene in north-west Europe. Hence, they are also high priorities for improvements in the Unified Model.
Whilst there have been significant improvements in the forecasting of storms in recent years, there is a recognition that the most severe conditions can still be highly localised and more difficult to forecast than the main storm system itself.
Of particular interest are the ways in which localised heating and cooling processes that are termed "diabatic" can affect the mesoscale atmospheric dynamics. Here, "mesoscale" refers to phenomena that have horizontal scales typically in the range from a few to around a hundred kilometres. DIAMET was established to study DIAbatic influence on Mesoscale structures in Extra-Tropical storms.
DIAMET is a consortium funded partly by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through groups from University of Manchester, University of Leeds, University of Reading and University of East Anglia and also including the Met Office as a project partner. Its main aim is to conduct studies in storm systems approaching the UK and as such, forms a contribution towards the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) THORPEX programme.
One example of the types of weather phenomena to be studied is the so-called "sting-jet". This is thought to be caused when ice cloud interacts with a descending stream of dry air to the rear of a mid-latitude cyclonic storm. Evaporation of the cloud causes additional cooling of the descending airstream, which in turn increases its momentum and generates stronger surface winds as the air reaches the ground. This is now thought to be the cause of the damaging winds over southern England in the Great Storm of October 1987.
The project is organised into three work areas. The first looks at real mesoscale structures in the atmosphere, using high-resolution in-situ and radar measurements to derive their morphology and dynamics. It makes use of the concept of potential vorticity (PV) which can be thought of as a product of the absolute rotation of the atmosphere and its thermal stratification (or static stability). It is clear that because diabatic processes alter the thermal stratification of the atmosphere, they also have an impact on PV.
A key task is to calculate the production of PV by different diabatic processes, especially those involving phase changes of water such as the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, condensation to form liquid cloud, freezing of cloud water to form ice and the evaporation of both liquid and ice precipitation in dry air. This work makes use of sophisticated diagnostics from high-resolution runs of the Unified Model (UM). These PV changes are compared with estimates derived from the measurements. Further studies of diagnostics from the UM will reveal the sensitivity of the forecasts to the correct representation of each of these processes and the dynamical consequences of diabatically-generated PV, both on the mesoscale and larger scales.
The second work area examines particular physical processes and the way these are represented in forecast models. Convection is only just beginning to be resolvable by high-resolution local-area forecast models and cannot be explicitly represented in current regional or global models. Hence, it needs to be parametrized, i.e. represented in terms of atmospheric properties that are resolved on the model grid scale. The schemes that are used are not optimised for mid-latitude storms, where convection often initiates at altitude rather than at the Earth's surface. A combination of novel diagnostics and new (or modified) schemes aimed at improving the representation of convection will be developed in this work area. Also addressed here will be the derivation of air-sea fluxes of heat and momentum from aircraft flights, and their use to derive a better parametrization for these fluxes in high-wind conditions. Lastly, microphysical measurements made within the clouds will be used to derive latent heating/cooling rates as a function of the microphysical environment and to improve microphysical parametrizations in the UM.
The final work area addresses the problem of predictability, using a combination of ensemble forecasting and data assimilation techniques. A unique archive of ensemble forecasts produced at the Met Office will be exploited to determine how well the forecasts actually generate realistic mesoscale features, using standard measures of skill. Model errors in representing convection, air-sea fluxes and microphysics will be investigated to determine their impact on the forecasts for different flow conditions. The relationships amongst different model variables on the mesoscale is poorly known at present and this will be investigated using ensembles and the results of the measurement programme. Finally, novel approaches to data assimilation will be investigated through a student project.
The 2011 observing campaign
A key observing platform for DIAMET is the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement (FAAM) BAe146 research aircraft. This has now completed two flight campaigns towards DIAMET, the first in September 2011 and the second in November and December 2011. The aircraft has a range of capabilities that can contribute to the project aims. It can launch dropsondes - small instrument packages that descend on a drogue measuring temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction. Closely-spaced dropsondes can identify mesoscale structures in the atmosphere and the data are relayed in real time via satellite networks to the Met Office, where they can be assimilated into the operational forecast runs of the UM. The aircraft can also make in-situ measurements of liquid- and ice-phase cloud water to identify similar mesoscale structures. Finally, it can also descend to altitudes of less than 250 feet (75 metres) over the ocean to measure the near-surface turbulent heat and water vapour fluxes using a combination of fast-response instruments.
In a display of good fortune that does not always accompany observational field campaigns that are planned many months or years in advance, both flying periods so far have been able to encounter a range of events of interest to the overall project aims. In particular, the FAAM aircraft flew on 8th December, when a violent cyclonic storm caused widespread damage and disruption across large parts of Scotland. During the morning, it flew north from Exeter, west of Scotland towards Stornoway, launching around 20 dropsondes to document the storm structure in this region. After re-fuelling at Teesside airport, it conducted further measurements within the cloud bands of the storm as it passed over eastern Scotland.
Analysis of data from all the flights is now underway and further flights are planned to examine summer-season storms during 2012.

Unverified Voracity Had Subs. It Was Crazy.
Most Beilein quote ever. This MLive piece starts with the promise of a 'knock down, drag out party' celebrated by John Beilein in the aftermath of his team advancing to the Sweet 16. This invites questions about what Beilein considers a rager. Questions: answered.
"the (grandchildren) came over, we had a heck of a party -- pizza and chicken wings, it was crazy over there. … It was Patrick's (birthday on Sunday), we had subs. It was crazy."
I've been laughing at "We had subs, it was crazy" for 15 solid minutes.
i can't breathe
I love this man.
I wish this was more relevant, but it's still a good counterpoint to Brady Hoke's lovely boringness. An already-thin 2012 Notre Dame recruiting class has been veritably gutted over the past few weeks, what with Gunner Kiel, Davonte Neal, and Justin Ferguson heading out of Dodge for various reasons ranging from insufficient chest to excessive baby to whatever Justin Ferguson has going on.
With Tee Shepard's instaflee last spring that hacks out the top four recruits from a 17-member class, something that might be useful if Michigan were to play any of these dinguses as upperclassmen—dollars to donuts Michigan buys out the 2014 game at the last second out of spite.
In any case, Neal's departure gave ESPN cause to recount his bizarre recruiting story:
The Chaparral (Ariz.) High School product waited until 20 days after national signing day to announce his college decision, setting up a morning ceremony at his former elementary school, Kyrene de la Esperanza.
With 600 schoolchildren, friends and family members on hand for the Feb. 21, 2012, announcement, Neal did not show. He made his announcement several hours later in front of a handful of reporters.
Six days later, Neal withdrew from Chaparral and enrolled at Phoenix Central.
In a universe where Michigan was in on this kid's recruitment:
NEAL: [describes setup]
HOKE: You want to do what?
NEAL: [re-describes setup, mentions he's not even going to show]
HOKE: You are under the mistaken impression that we are Tom Haverford. We are Ron Swanson. Enjoy wherever it is you end up, and wherever you end up after that, and wherever you end up after that. Send me your travel memoir.
/eats bacon-wrapped turkey leg
Q: Who is the most Swanson? RELATED THING I JUST THOUGHT OF: Brady Hoke has a quality claim to the throne of Most Swanson College Football Coach. Bronco Mendenhall is a contender solely because he is named Bronco, but with Pat Hill and Danny Hope trolling unemployment lines the mustache category is all but moot. Bacon, libertarianism, temperature endurance… a case can be made for Hoke. In retrospect it's surprising that there has not been a Parks and Recreation episode in which a shirt-sleeved Swanson scorns his coworkers during a brutal Pawnee Winterfest blizzard.
I mean, I'm srlsly. From the Pyramid of Greatness:
"Fish, for sport only, not for meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable."
"Honor: if you need it defined, you don't have it."
"Buffets: Whenever available. Choose quantity over quality."
"Torso: should be thick and impenetrable."
"Frankness: cut the BS"
I'm having difficulty envisioning potential competitors. Orson immediately thought Schnellenberg, who would be a landslide winner if he was still coaching. The only other guy we came up with was Paul Johnson, and while Johnson bests Hoke in certain categories (lack of GAF, old-timeyness, hair helmet) Hoke wins meat hands down.
Oh hello Cincinnati. By 2017 the Bearcats may be a glorified MAC team in a glorified CUSA, but it's still a more interesting matchup than a game against East Nowhere, and Michigan has acquired it for the not-that-princely sum of 1.2 million dollars, and they probably had to throw in a basketball home and home, but I like the idea of that home and home so bully for scheduling.
The UC game continues a new trend in M (and to a somewhat lesser extent OSU) nonconference scheduling where they move past the MAC teams and just buy games against Real Opponents. Michigan's lined up Colorado, Oregon State, and now Cincinnati without offering anything other than cold hard cash. In this case the cash isn't even much more than the going rate for a MAC game—nearing one million dollars at last check. The economics have changed to the point where I expect Michigan will have a one-off home game against a low-level power conference opponent annually.
I WANT TO BELIEVE. Frank Clark has not done all that much so far at Michigan other than get completely lost on basic zone reads and that one fluke interception in the Sugar Bowl, but he's frigging huge now and people are saying mean things about him:
Frank Clark called the 'F'-word, emerges as leader to enter Michigan starting lineup
I feel this is a good thing even if they're not breaking out the swearing. They are apparently not doing so.
Michigan offensive tackles Taylor Lewan and Michael Schofield combine for five years of starting experience. They've seen a lot of football, and can judge talent as well as anyone.
And both, asked open-endedly which defensive lineman provides the most difficult matchup in practice, offered the same answer: Frank Clark.
"He's just so quick. He's got such a quick step, it's hard to handle him. He's a freak," said Schofield, who wasn't the only Michigan player to invoke the F-word.
Added senior defensive lineman Jibreel Black: "Ever since Frank came in here, he's been a freak athlete. It's just a matter of putting it all together."
Yo man let's cut back on the freak talk until the dude accumulates some of those play-type things, but here's hoping. If Clark busts out that'll mitigate a lot of the issues that crop up without Jake Ryan.
Elsewhere in I WANT TO BELIEVE, Michigan is "raving" about Jehu Chesson and Amara Darboh:
Jehu, in one-on-ones, he's just flying by people with his speed," Gallon said. "Doing all these amazing things. You can tell he's learning."
Both are built more in the mold that coordinator Al Borges desires for his pro-style offense: Tall, long and capable of stretching the field.
"Those two have demonstrated in the first few days that they have some big-play ability," Borges said. "They've won a few jump balls -- lost a few, but we haven't lost them all.
"Both of them have really good straight-line speed, particularly Jehu. Amara is fast, too. Amara is feel-fast -- probably more feel-fast than he is time-fast. His time isn't terrible, either."
Well, that's odd. Rothstein has an article about the transition from tackle to guard that quotes Steve Schilling on the challenges:
"When you get in the NFL, you almost have to be able to play, unless you're a starter, you have to be able to play guard and tackle on both sides and a lot of times center also if you want to make it as a backup on the team," said former Michigan lineman Stephen Schilling, who played both guard and tackle. "For me, the switch from tackle to guard wasn't as much as if you were playing the right side the whole time and you switch to left, because you muscle memory gets so used to doing things one way and you have to flip it."
Schilling was on the right his entire career at Michigan. The Hoke regime, meanwhile, has elected to move projected RT Mike Schofield to LG and back and is repeating that progression with Ben Braden. This may be a zone versus power thing: Schilling probably didn't pull more than a handful of times during his playing career. Michigan went to an all-zone system in Carr's last two years; while Rodriguez was considerably less monomaniacal than Mike DeBord, pulling was still a rare occurrence.
Man, everybody is on our jock now. CBS's Matt Norlander previews the South Regional:
Rank the remaining four teams:
1) Michigan
2) Florida
3) Kansas
4) Florida Gulf Coast
Why Michigan will be going to Atlanta ... The Wolverines now have the second-best offense in the nation, scoring 120.9 points per 100 possessions, that number adjusted for tempo. It's really good, second only to Indiana. The Burke factor is huge. I am a sucker for really, undeniably good point guards at this time of the year. Burke doesn't make mistakes as often as Aaron Craft and he's got a better set of tools on his hip than Shane Larkin or Peyton Siva. He'll be huge. …. Overall, the team has as much balance and weaponry as anyone in this tournament. Play a little D, and Atlanta will be the next stop.
That last bit is kind of an issue. He also talks up Stauskas—a bit, anyway. I expect Stauskas to do little against the Jayhawks. While he is Not Just A Shooter™, his midrange game is extremely clunky right now and he won't have a size advantage over the guy checking him. This is a bad matchup for him.
The Michigan chatter has gotten to the point where Bill Self's getting asked about it. Being the sexy upset pick makes me nervous.
It's too bad there is no available solution for this. You may not have noticed but this year's NCAA tourney is heavily regionalized. It's hard to get incensed about this when the pairwise has so much jitter that Notre Dame could have been either a one seed or out of the tournament going into the CCHA championship weekend, but if you're looking for this…
Over the past year, the people that oversee ice hockey within the NCAA, has changed. Last April, Mark Lewis was named "executive vice president for championships and alliances." …
Lewis, among other things, set out to address issues with declining attendance across all NCAA events. Obviously, attendance is relative, but even in men's basketball, there have been more empty seats than there have been in decades.
Essentially, under Lewis, the message coming through is of an emphasis on maximizing attendance at the events. And it's under that atmosphere — whether directly or indirectly — that the men's ice hockey committee operated this year.
…I have one or two ideas about how to make this happen. One: don't put regionals in St. Louis, you twits. Two: home sites for top seeds, you twits. If you decide not to do this, put one (one) regional in or around Michigan every year instead of zero most years and two this one time.
Etc.: LSUfreek gifs the most recent NCAA commercial. Countess confident he'll be back full go. Iowa reaches NIT Final Four by whomping Virginia; conference might have been good this year.
Scoop Jackson still exists! Remember when everyone was so mad about him? Things have changed a lot since then. I know it's not cool to be happy people get fired, but can we make an exception for David Whitley? Not so awesome: congratulations on the soccer story of the year, Brian Straus! Your prize is this letter about COBRA benefits. : (

Snow White and the Huntsman
It's well-known that Hollywood tends to bring out movies in pairs. It's the end of the world? Let's have ourselves some Deep Impact and Armeggedon. Is that America on the horizon? How about 1492: Conquest of Paradise and Christopher Columbus: The Discovery. And now a classic fairy tale gets the same treatment, as Snow White and the Huntsman follows quickly on the heels of Mirror Mirror.
Whereas Mirror Mirror had Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, this film casts Charlize Theron in the role. What's more, Twilight fans can rejoice at Kristen Stewart as the eponymous Snow White, the subject of the Queen's scorn. Unbeknownst to our baddie, young Ms. White has been training in the art of war with a huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth. It's turning into quite the year for everyone's new favorite Australian, who is carving out a niche for throwing, hitting and jumping, thanks to Thor and now this tentpole.
But if you only see one movie about the famous fairy tale character this year, which one should it be? "Stunningly shot and inconsistently acted and written, Snow White has enough visual fireworks to keep the film afloat, even if star Kristen Stewart can't get out of Twilight mode," says USA Today in a relative rave. The New York Times goes even further, stating that "There is something exciting about how seriously Snow White and the Huntsman takes its themes." But The Guardian keeps everything in check, concluding that "the result is tangled and overblown." And so we turn for final confirmation to Rotten Tomatoes and its meter, for that shall be the definitive way to find out. Which is the fairest of them all? You couldn't make it up, they both scored 50%

So, as par usual, to alleviate my pains of Leah leaving today, Sam leaves me with Bailey!
Look at that smile! Bailey's number was up at the shelter and luckily they contacted Bully Buddies. This girl is the epitome of the typical, "wiggley, smiley, all humanity is my best friend" pit bull! She's awesome with cats, kids and even birds! She had an early bad experience and after being attacked by a couple dogs so she needs some work in that area to feel comfortable around her canine brethren so she doesn't feel the need to be defensive or reactive. She also has some issues with food allergies so we are working to find what food would work best for her.
Bailey is available for adoption though Bully Buddies in Vancouver, British Columbia. Check out their petfinder pages if you want to learn more about Bailey and the other wonderful canine companions looking for their forever homes!

After about 15 minutes of foot-dragging, impassioned pleading and half-hearted tooth-brushing, the troublemaker was ready for bed. He threw himself upon the Spider-Man sheets, covered his head, and gave full voice to his despair.
The boys were arguing. My husband and I could hear it coming from the other room. Words turned to fighting words, which turned to shouts and then, a brief silence followed by the sound of crying.
"Timmy hit his brother," I told Earl, not moving off the couch. "He has to go to bed, right now."
Seven-year-old Timmy has developed the unfortunate habit of relying on his hands, or whatever happens to be in his hands, to resolve disputes with his brother. This time, it was a towel, the corner of which made contact with Brian's face.
"That's it," Earl told Timmy. "We don't whip each other with towels. Time for bed."
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but there's a zero-tolerance policy in place for hitting, even when a big playoff game is on TV. The miscreant dragged himself up the stairs, stopping every few steps to complain about how unfair it was.
He also explained that it was all a misunderstanding, and assured us that besides, it was Brian's fault. But zero tolerance is zero tolerance, even before big games. The heavy in the family – that would be me – was not to be moved.
After about 15 minutes of foot-dragging, impassioned pleading and half-hearted tooth-brushing, the troublemaker was ready for bed. He threw himself upon the Spider-Man sheets, covered his head, and gave full voice to his despair.
"Nobody in this family even notices me," he said, choking back tears, "and you treat me like a pack of hot dogs."
Hot dogs?
"Wait a minute," I said, biting my cheek. "You like hot dogs. What do you mean? Do we throw you on the grill? Squirt you with ketchup?"
Any other time he would have laughed, but his misery was too deep. Apparently the hot dog comparison wasn't conveying the full import of his thoughts. He downgraded himself.
"You treat me like like TOFU!"
What does a mother say to that? Processed meat is pretty low, but bean curd? I'd have to bring that up at my next meeting of Mean Mothers Anonymous.
"Hi, I'm Julie, and I treat my kid like tofu."
I looked at the dejected lump on the bed. Knowing Timmy, weeping might endure for the night, but joy would come in the morning. He needed this unpleasant lesson about his actions, but he's a resilient kid, and I didn't foresee any permanent psychological damage, despite the food comparisons.
"Well, Timmy, I'm sorry you feel that way. We love you very much, but you're not allowed to hit. You can just stay here in bed and think about that until you fall asleep."
He may have conked out before I left the room. Being treated like a pack of hot dogs must be exhausting.

- Series hub: Knicks-Pacers
INDIANAPOLIS — Knicks-Pacers isn't just a series between a great offensive team (New York) and a great defensive team (Indiana). It's also a contrast in two different defensive styles, and that contrast is a big reason the Pacers have a 2-1 series lead heading into Game 4 on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET, TNT).
The Knicks, who set an NBA record with 2,371 3-point attempts (28.9 per game) this season, took just 11 threes in Game 3, their worst offensive game of the playoffs. Both coach Mike Woodson and center Tyson Chandler talked a lot on Sunday about the need to move the ball more, but the Pacers' defense had a lot to do with the lack of ball movement and open shots.
The Pacers led the league in 3-point percentage defense and only one team (Chicago) allowed their opponents to take a lower percentage of their shots from beyond the arc. The Knicks have made five or fewer threes seven times this season. They're 0-7 in those games and three of them were against Indiana.
The key to the Pacers' 3-point defense is their ability to stay at home on shooters. The Knicks get 3-point attempts by drawing an extra defender to the guy with the ball, whether he's in the post or running a pick-and-roll, and then moving the ball to the open shooter. The Pacers make that difficult by not sending the extra defender, either as a double-team in the post or as a helper on the pick-and-roll.
The two most important players in this scheme are Paul George and Roy Hibbert, the one-on-one defender and the rim-protector.
In this series, George has the Carmelo Anthony assignment, and he needs no help. Anthony will get his points, but George is a good enough defender to make it difficult (Anthony has shot 39.7 percent in six games against the Pacers this season) and, more important, he allows his teammates to stay with their man. That's a huge part of the Pacers' success and an argument for George as their most important player in this series, even though his box score numbers (17.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, 36 percent shooting) haven't been that impressive.
Here's a post-up for Anthony from the first quarter of Game 3. George handles the assignment by himself and his teammates stay at home, giving Anthony little choice but to force a tough turnaround jumper …
Hibbert, of course, is the guy keeping the Knicks away from the basket. On pick-and-rolls, he has the length and smarts to both stay within reach of the roll man and challenge the ball handler if he gets too close to the rim. This is why 16 of Raymond Felton's 29 shots in the series have been low-efficiency attempts, coming from outside the restricted area and from inside the 3-point line.
So while the Knicks can talk about better ball movement, it's easier said than done against the No. 1 defense. Here's an example of a play where the ball moves quite a bit (four passes in about six seconds), it gets swung to the weak side, and the Knicks still aren't able to get an open look. The Pacers all stay at home on their man, Hibbert hangs in the paint on the Jason Kidd/Kenyon Martin pick-and-roll, George denies Anthony in the post, and the ball eventually sticks in the hands of Iman Shumpert, who forces a tough shot over Hibbert in the lane…
The Knicks had their best offensive performance of the postseason in Game 2, and Woodson believes that they just need to get back to the way they played in their 105-79 victory.
"In a playoff series, when teams start locking in, you can't play on one side of the floor," the coach said Sunday. "That's what, last night, we went back to that again. So I got to keep screaming and pushing and guys got to recognize that we got to get the ball moving from side to side. That's the only way we can play and perhaps get out of this series. We can't just play on one side of the floor with it."
But the Pacers believe that those 105 points in Game 2 were more about the way they were defending than about what the Knicks were doing offensively.
"I thought we over-helped a little bit," David West said after shootaround on Saturday, "overreacted to some of their penetration, and allowed them to get some easy, catch-and-shoot threes. We can't overreact. We're a help-defense team, but obviously guys got to guard their guy and we got to let the two guys in the pick-and-roll take care of their business in the pick-and-roll."
Paying the price for help
On the other end of the floor, the Pacers attempted a season-high 33 threes in Game 3, and coach Frank Vogel said that most of them were good looks. The one issue was that George shot 2-for-12 from beyond the arc, probably because he was working so hard on defense.
Indy got open 3-point looks because the Knicks do send double-teams on post-ups and do help on pick-and-rolls. Here's a perfect example, where Kidd sinks deep into the paint on a George/West pick-and-roll, Shumpert rotates up on the next pass, and Lance Stephenson is left wide open in the corner …
The Knicks ranked 17th defensively in the regular season. But the Pacers' offense ranked 19th. So it's not like this is a mismatch. The Knicks have the ability to stop Indiana.
They believe that the key is to play aggressive, because, as we saw in Game 2, the Pacers — who ranked 29th in turnover rate in the regular season — will cough the ball up if pressured. The problem is that, when they're able to handle the pressure and get the ball to the weak side, they're going to get better shots than the Knicks are getting.
Also, the more the Knicks rotate, the more susceptible they are to offensive rebounds. Indiana has totaled 29 offensive boards and 40 second-chance points in their two wins.
"We're built on getting shots on the second side," West said. "So when they bring two to the ball, we got to move the ball and make them pay on the other side."
More Melo with the ball
The Pacers need to take care of the ball and the Knicks need to keep them off the offensive glass. But the Knicks' offense is obviously the story here. It ranked third offensively in the regular season and now ranks 12th in the playoffs.
Woodson hinted Sunday that we will see more of Anthony as the pick-and-roll ball-handler in Game 4, as a way to challenge the way the Pacers are defending. Anthony with the ball is obviously more potent and dangerous than Felton or Pablo Prigioni, and setting ball-screens for him can free him from George.
"We're going to have to change up a little bit," Woodson said, "where he's handling and running some pick-and-rolls with the 3-5, if George is going to guard him."
The Knicks used Anthony as the ball handler in the pick-and-roll a decent amount in the two games in New York. And they got some good looks out of it early in Game 2. In fact, they ran Anthony/Chandler pick-and-rolls on four straight possessions late in the first quarter and got four good shots out of it (though the last one was a bit rushed) …
On the first play, West leaves Kidd open in the corner, because hey, that's Anthony coming off that screen, not Felton. And on the third play, J.R. Smith gets open in the corner because Stephenson has a tendency to turn his head and lose his man.
Pace to get space
The last shot from Anthony in the sequence above came in transition. And that was another of Woodson's points of emphasis on Sunday.
"We got to pick our pace up a little bit and not walk it up as much, because we're doing that," he said. "When you get stops, you've got to push the ball."
One reason why the Pacers have been crashing the boards so well is that the Knicks aren't really a threat to run. New York ranked 26th in pace in the regular season and got just 8.8 percent of their points on the break, the lowest rate in the league.
It always helps to get the ball up the floor quickly as it gives you more shot clock to work with and the opportunity to move the ball against an unset defense. If you've watched Anthony at all this season, you know he loves to pull up for threes in transition, with help from an early and high screen from Chandler or Martin.
Execution and player movement
Woodson says his team could have got better shots by executing better in Game 3. Too often, there was too much space between the ball-handler and screener, or the ball-handler just went away from the screen.
"If you don't set a good screen and you don't use the screen, then it becomes a one-on-one game," Woodson said. "Everybody's able to stay at home with each other, with their own individual matchups."
And one other way the Knicks can get better shots is to move without the ball. It's much easier for the Pacers to stay attached to their shooters when those shooters are just standing around.
Here's a play where Smith got an open three on an Anthony post-up with the help of an off-ball screen by Chandler …
Now, that looked more like an impromptu decision by Chandler than a set play, but it's certainly something the Knicks can do by design to free up their shooters against a defense that won't otherwise leave them alone.

Republic Airways Holdings Inc. said Wednesday that it has worked out changes to its Chautauqua regional airline business that will save it roughly $45 million per year over the next five years.
Major airlines such as Delta and United hire regional operators like Republic's Chautauqua to handle flying from smaller cities to their hubs.
But the regional business has been under severe pressure because higher fuel prices have made small jets unprofitable. Republic competitor Pinnacle is in Chapter 11 protection, and Comair, the regional airline owned by Delta Air Lines Inc., flew its final flight last month.
Republic said the cost-saving moves also include an agreement between Chautauqua and Delta to operate seven more Embraer ERJ-145 planes. Those 50-seat jets had been idled, but will be flying again by the end of this year, Republic said.
"Ensuring our 50-seat aircraft remain active under agreements with our major airline partners is an important component of our Chautauqua restructuring effort," Republic CEO Bryan Bedford said.
The company said it will have more details about the Chautauqua moves when it holds its third-quarter conference call on Thursday.
Besides Chautauqua, Indianapolis-based Republic operates regional haulers Republic Airlines and Shuttle America, as well as Frontier Airlines, an independent carrier based in Denver.
Republic shares rose 7 cents, to $4.79 each, in morning trading.

HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE Release Date: March 6, 1998 RFA: AI-98-001 P.T. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Letter of Intent Receipt Date: August 23, 1998 Application Receipt Date: October 23, 1998 APPLICATIONS IN RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS (RFA) MUST BE PREPARED USING A MULTI-PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION FORMAT; SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE APPLICATION ARE IN AN NIAID BROCHURE ENTITLED "INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI-PROJECT AWARDS.þ PURPOSE The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites applications for program project grants to support interactive, synergistic studies on the basic mechanisms that regulate human immune responses. Of primary interest are multidisciplinary research programs focused on defining clinically relevant genetic, biochemical, cellular and systemic parameters of human immunity and tolerance. Studies should strive to identify basic principles of immune regulation and to facilitate the translation of knowledge from animal studies into clinical approaches for the prevention and treatment of human diseases such as autoimmunity, allergy, infections, transplant rejection and inflammatory diseases. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000 The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000," a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This RFA, Human Immunology Centers of Excellence, is related to the priority area of immunization and infectious diseases. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2000" (Full Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-0 or Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1) through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (telephone 202-512-1800). ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Research grant applications may be submitted by domestic for-profit and non- profit organizations, public and private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government. Foreign organizations are not eligible to apply. Racial/ethnic minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply as Principal Investigators. MECHANISM OF SUPPORT The mechanism of support will be the program project (P01) grant. This type of award supports broadly based multidisciplinary research programs that have a well-defined central research focus or objective. An important feature is that the interrelationships among the individual scientifically meritorious projects will result in a greater contribution to the overall program goals than if each project was pursued individually. The program project grant consists of a minimum of three interrelated individual research projects that contribute to the program objective. The award also can provide support for certain common resources termed cores. Such resources should be utilized by two or more projects within the award. Responsibility for the planning, direction, and execution of the proposed projects will be solely that of the applicant. The total project period may not exceed five years. At this time, the NIAID is administratively limiting the duration of P01 grants to four years; this administrative limitation may change in the future. The earliest anticipated award date is August, 1999. FUNDS AVAILABLE The estimated total funds (direct and indirect) available for the first year of support for this RFA will $3.0 million. In fiscal year 1999, the NIAID plans to make approximately 4 awards related to this RFA. This level of support is dependent on the receipt of a sufficient number of applications of high scientific merit. Applications requesting budgets in excess of $750,000 in total (direct and indirect) first-year costs must obtain approval from the Program contact listed in þINQUIRIESþ prior to submission. The usual PHS policies governing grants administration and management will apply. Although this program is provided for in the financial plans of the NIAID, awards pursuant to this RFA are contingent upon the availability of funds for this purpose. Funding beyond the first and subsequent years of the grant will be contingent upon satisfactory progress during the preceding years and availability of funds. At this time, the NIAID has not determined whether or how this solicitation will be continued beyond the present RFA. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Background Considerable progress in understanding the basic mechanisms of immune regulation has occurred in recent years, but comprehensive analyses of normal and pathogenic immune responses have been conducted primarily in non-human animal model systems. Many aspects of human immunology are still poorly defined and pathways that are important in animal systems might not represent optimal therapeutic targets in man. Infectious and immune-mediated diseases currently impose enormous economic and social costs, and a more complete understanding of the human immune system and the ways in which it can be safely modified will greatly facilitate the development of new clinical applications. Human studies are limited by a more restricted set of experimental protocols than can be performed in animals. Extensive genetic heterogeneity and environmental variations further increase the difficulty of obtaining detailed information about the complex processes that govern immune responses in vivo. However, current experimental approaches allow for the detection and quantitation of an increasing number of immunological parameters that correlate with human disease pathogenesis and outcomes. Advances in molecular biology, for example, have provided mechanistic explanations for diseases of abnormal cell development, such as lymphoproliferative disorders and immunodeficiency diseases. Enhanced techniques for HLA typing and gene sequencing have generated new paradigms for understanding transplant rejection and disease susceptibility, and the ability to produce recombinant cytokines and humanized antibodies provides promising new immunomodulatory agents for therapy. Rapid advances in determining the three- dimensional structures of proteins that regulate the immune system also provide new opportunities for innovative drug development for both infectious and immune- mediated diseases. Furthermore, the extraordinary accomplishments of the human genome project will soon result in an unprecedented wealth of genetic information, thus facilitating advances in defining the biochemical basis for human immune functions, and in identifying novel cellular and molecular targets for vaccine development and immune intervention. Research Objectives and Scope The goal of this RFA is to support highly integrated, multidisciplinary research programs focused on defining the mechanisms responsible for normal or pathogenic human immune responses. Innovative and definitive approaches to the study of human immune regulation are of particular interest. Projects that incorporate clinically relevant animal models into a complementary framework of human studies that are also included in the program are acceptable. In addition, relevant clinical studies in humans are within the scope of this RFA. Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: o identification of the types of human immune responses, such as dominant CTL, NK, specific cytokine or antibody isotype responses, that are critical for protection from, or reversal of, specific disease states (autoimmunity, allergy, transplant rejection, infectious diseases); o novel, minimally invasive experimental approaches that move beyond PBL assays in order to identify mechanisms of human immune regulation or to monitor antigen- specific immune responses; o identification of the most effective antigen delivery systems for the induction of immunity or tolerance; o characterization of the mechanisms responsible for differential regulation of immune responses in children, adults and the elderly; o definition of ontogeny of the human immune system and identification of essential parameters for reconstitution of deficient or ablated immunity; o identification of molecular targets applicable to the development of novel adjuvants and vaccines for human use; o characterization of molecular mechanisms responsible for human T and B memory cell generation and maintenance; o immunoregulation by cytokines and their receptors; and o genetic control of immune responsiveness and immune effector mechanisms. INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS It is the policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations must be included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioral research projects involving human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification are provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects of the purpose of the research. This policy results from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43). All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Guidelines for Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research", which have been published in the Federal Register of March 28, 1994 (FR 59 14508-14513) and the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol. 23, No. 11, March 18, 1994. Investigators may obtain copies from these sources or from Dr. Helen Quill (listed in INQUIRIES below) who may also provide additional relevant information concerning the policy. LETTER OF INTENT Prospective applicants are asked to submit, by August 23, 1998, a letter of intent that includes a descriptive title of the overall proposed research, the name, address and telephone number of the Principal Investigator, and the number and title of this RFA. Although the letter of intent is not required, is not binding, does not commit the sender to submit an application, and does not enter into the review of subsequent applications, the information that it contains allows NIAID staff to estimate the potential review workload and to avoid conflict of interest in the review. The letter of intent is to be sent to Dr. Kevin Callahan at the address listed under INQUIRIES. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Applicants for P01 grants must follow special application guidelines in the NIAID Brochure entitled INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI-PROJECT AWARDS (September 1997); this brochure is available from NIAID staff listed in INQUIRIES and via the WWW at: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ncn/grants/ multibron.htm Applications are to be submitted on the standard research grant application form PHS 398 (rev. 5/95). Application kits are available at most institutional offices of sponsored research and may be obtained from the Division of Extramural Outreach and Information, National Institutes of Health, 6701 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7910, Bethesda, MD 20892-7910, telephone (301) 710-0267, email: email@example.com. For purposes of identification and processing, item 2 on the face page of the application must be marked "YES" and the RFA number "AI-98-001" and the words "Human Immunology Centers of Excellence" must be typed in. Applications must be received by October 23, 1998. Applications that are not received as a single package on the receipt date or that do not conform to the instructions contained in PHS 398 (rev. 5/95) Application Kit (as modified in, and superseded by, the NIAID BROCHURE ENTITLED "INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI-PROJECT AWARDS"), will be judged non-responsive and will be returned to the applicant. The RFA label available in the application form PHS 398 must be affixed to the bottom of the face page. Failure to use this label could result in delayed processing of the application such that it may not reach the review committee in time for review. Applicants from institutions that have a General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) funded by the NIH National Center for Research Resources may wish to identify the GCRC as a resource for conducting the proposed research. If so, a letter of agreement from either the GCRC program director or principal investigator should be included with the application. It is highly recommended that the appropriate NIAID program contact be consulted before submitting the letter of intent and during the early stages of preparation of the application. (See program contact under INQUIRIES). Submit a signed, typewritten original of the application, including the checklist, and three signed, exact, single-sided photocopies, in one package to: CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC REVIEW NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH 6701 ROCKLEDGE DRIVE, ROOM 1040 - MSC 7710 BETHESDA, MD 20892-7710 BETHESDA, MD 20817 (for express/courier service) At the time of submission, two additional exact copies of the grant application and all five sets of any appendix material must be sent to Dr. Kevin Callahan at the address listed under INQUIRIES. Concurrent submission of an R01 and a Component Project of a Multi-project Application: NIH policy permits a component research project of a multi-project grant application to be concurrently submitted as a traditional individual research project (R01) application. If, following review, both the multi-project application and the R01 application are found to be in the fundable range, the investigator must relinquish the R01 and will not have the option to withdraw from the multi-project grant. This is an NIH policy intended to preserve the scientific integrity of a multi-project grant, which may be seriously compromised if a strong component project(s) is removed from the program. Investigators wishing to participate in a multi-project grant must be aware of this policy before making a commitment to the Principal Investigator and awarding institution. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF APPLICATIONS IN RESPONSE TO THIS RFA Applicants for P01 grants must follow special application guidelines in the NIAID Brochure entitled INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI-PROJECT AWARDS (September 1997); this brochure is available via the WWW at: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ncn/grants/multibron.htm. The brochure presents specific instructions for sections of the PHS 398 (rev. 5/95) application form that should be completed differently than usual. For all other items in the application, follow the usual instructions on pages 5-20 of the PHS 398 booklet. REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS Review Procedures Upon receipt, applications will be reviewed for completeness by the NIH Center for Scientific Review and for responsiveness by NIAID staff. Incomplete and/or non-responsive applications will be returned to the applicant without further consideration. Applications that are complete and responsive to the RFA will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate peer review group convened by the NIAID in accordance with the review criteria stated below. As part of the initial merit review, a process may be used by the initial review group in which applications will be determined to be competitive or non-competitive based on their scientific merit relative to other applications received in response to the RFA. Applications judged to be competitive will be discussed and be assigned a priority score. Applications determined to be non-competitive will be withdrawn from further consideration and the Principal Investigator and the official signing for the applicant organization will be notified. The second level of review will be provided by the National Advisory Allergy and Infectious Diseases Council. Review Criteria The general criteria for P01 grant applications are presented in the NIAID brochure entitled INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI-PROJECT AWARDS (September 1997). AWARD CRITERIA Funding decisions will be made on the basis of scientific and technical merit as determined by peer review, program balance, and the availability of funds.

Fox Sends DMCA Takedown To Google To Remove Link To DMCA Takedown Sent By Fox
from the got-that? dept
That may be confusing, so we'll go through this slowly. Basically, Fox sent Google an initial DMCA takedown, to get it to stop linking to links to unauthorized copies of the movie Avatar. Fair enough. Google, as it does, forwarded this takedown to ChillingEffects and removed the links in its index. However, then Fox apparently sent another DMCA takedown, demanding that Google take down the link to its original takedown in ChillingEffects. The second takedown has a huge list of links that it wants Google to stop linking to, so the ChillingEffects one is buried in there.
However, I have to wonder if that's a legit DMCA takedown. The only way it's legit is if Fox really does have some copyright claim over the original DMCA takedown notice, and that's iffy, at best. Of course, Google is pretty quick to takedown these links in order to retain its safe harbors. However, I do wonder if the folks at ChillingEffects, who certainly understand the law, will decide to pushback on this one.

Getting ready...
We're almost there! Tomorrow we can start packing for real. Only a few more things to label and we're done!
As you may know from previous posts, little H. has food allergies. This means she has to take some medication with her on her trip too, just in case. Most likely, she won't need any of it, but you never know. Because I didn't want to send her away with her meds in a plain plastic bag I decided to make a bag instead - very last minute, I know. To make it even more last minute I couldn't really figure out what I wanted it to look like exactly. I wanted it to be very basic and handy for the teachers (easy access to medicines as well as posology and other useful information). So, this is what the 'allergy kit' ended up looking like - a very basic drawstring bag indeed. The beauty of this bag, however, is in the detail I believe.
I used a red cross picture, found on the net and printed it on iron-on transfer paper together with her name. On the back, I made a little transparent pocket finished with a fabric flap and Velcro closure. It perfectly fits index cards with all necessary allergy information and the posology for the different medicines - right within eye sight whenever needed. To make this pocket, I used the vinyl envelope some new panties came in. I have been saving up vinyl packaging ever since I came across this interesting project through Whip Up. I used French seams as described here and made boxed corners. In order to keep the bag from opening I added a small fabric "stopper" to the drawstring, which slides up and down accordingly.
This project took me way longer than intended and necessary, but it's so much nicer than a plain plastic bag - don't you think??
Now, one more thing before I sign off: make sure to come back next week as I'm planning a small giveaway here - just to say thanks to all of you for the support, the encouragements, the compliments, the cheers... I felt/feel deeply touched when reading all of your comments... Thank you so much!
In the mean time, I'm wishing you a very nice weekend!
xo, P.

very cute idea for an allergy kit! I love it when people go that extra step, even if it's something they're not giving away. Looks really nice.

Who wouldn't want to take their medicine if it came out of a cute bag like that?! And let's face it, 90% of the stuff we do could be done faster and cheaper, or bought, but it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying would it :)
I've been saving up vinyl pouches and packaging so I can make myself a wallet with clear spots for licences etc. I'd been reluctant to try because I didn't know where I'd find something like that to buy and then one day I was holding this sturdy clear plastic pouch and the lightbulb went on. So now I have quite a few things like that, perhaps I should attempt other projects like the whip-up one!

cindy - i suggested to a mommy blogger that she permanently and safely archive her blog posts, because they say so much about her as a young mother. who knows how we will communicate in 20 years...
pascale, this is so you, and so perfect. you really do reduce a need to its essence, and with just one element, you communicate the purpose.
simplicity always appears effortless.

Journalist Christopher Hitchens and punk group Pussy Riot are to be awarded the LennonOno grant for peace.
The late Christopher Hitchens will be given the award for his thought-provoking polemics such as God Is Not Great, which will be received by his widow, Carol.
Russian punk group Pussy Riot will receive the award for challenging the freedom of expression in their home country. Three of their members were put under arrest for performing anti-Putin songs in a cathedral, which sparked global controversy.
Rachel Corrie, a late US peace activist, will also receive the award after she tried was killed in a blast when she tried to protect a Palestinian family's home.
The fourth recipient, John Perkins, will be given the award for his efforts as a third world activist.
A fifth recipient is yet to be announced.
The honour will be handfed out on October 9, on what would have been John Lennon's 72nd birthday.

Huawei spokesperson Jannie Luong sent a reply via e-mail.
"The comment that was made reflects the realities of our carrier network business in the U.S. Considering the situation we currently face in the U.S., it would be very difficult for the U.S. market to become a primary revenue source or a key growth area for our carrier network business. Nevertheless, our U.S. employees remain committed to providing quality services for our customers."
I also asked if the company planned any layoffs in the U.S. Luong replied, "There are no planned layoffs; like any other company, we will scale our operations according to the current market opportunities."
When I followed up to ask if Huawei would continue to actively sell in the United States or move into more of a support-only mode for existing customers, a second spokesperson replied, "We continue to sell in the U.S. in all three business areas: Device, Carrier Network and Enterprise."
While the company may still have a sales presence in the United States, it seems clear Huawei will not aggressively contest the U.S. market, at least for now. Bloomberg Businessweek reported a Huawei spokesperson saying that the company doesn't see the United States as a primary revenue source for the "foreseeable future."
That's not a surprise to Mike Fratto, analyst at Current Analysis. "Huawei has a strong data center and campus LAN portfolio, but it's clear that they would have an extremely difficult time making in-roads with U.S. companies due to security concerns—real or imagined—about the products and the company leadership," he said.
According to an InformationWeek survey of 454 IT professionals, the U.S. government's ban of Huawei equipment had a strong impact on whether American companies would do business with Huawei: 37% cited the ban as a major concern, and 34% called it a deal breaker. A report detailing full results of the survey will be available in May.
Comments provided by survey respondents are also revealing. While most cite trust issues, some feel the company is being unfairly tarnished. Said one respondent, "I think every company should have a fair chance to compete."
Others acknowledge that while the U.S. government's actions might just be scare tactics to thwart a foreign competitor, they still won't take a chance. "I am aware that the security concern may just be fear mongering," wrote one respondent, "but can I put the security of my network on the line for a 50% chance? Nope."
I reached out to Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks for their reaction to Hu's statement. All three companies had no comment.

Black, Hispanic Women Less Likely To Receive Radiation For Breast Cancer
Black and Hispanic women are less likely than white women to receive the radiation therapy routinely prescribed following surgery for early breast cancer, according to a study that Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers.
Although the disparity in rates is relatively small, the findings suggest that thousands of black and Hispanic breast cancer patients may be undertreated following a lumpectomy.
Rachel Freedman, MD, an oncology fellow in Dana-Farber's Breast Oncology Center, noted that although some women in all racial and ethnic groups fail to receive the recommended course of radiation following breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) -- which has largely replaced mastectomy for small, early breast tumors -- black and Hispanic patients have the lowest rates among all racial/ethnic groups studied.
The regimen calls for short sessions of radiation five days a week for six to seven weeks, and "there are many barriers that may prevent this from happening," Freedman noted. Often there are logistical problems: distance to a radiation treatment facility, conflicts with work, transportation and child care issues, she said. Other factors include insurance status, possible lack of a recommendation for radiation in older patients or those perceived to have lower risk cancers, as well as patient preferences and priorities.
Freedman, along with senior author Nancy L. Keating, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women's Hospital and two other co-authors, analyzed cancer registry data on 375,547 women with stage I or II breast cancer. They calculated rates of receiving lumpectomy and radiation or mastectomy (termed "definitive primary therapy") and the rates of having a lumpectomy without radiation (non-definitive therapy) among racial/ethnic groups.
Compared with white women, black women had lower odds of receiving definitive therapy (82.1 percent for blacks versus 86.1 percent for whites). Hispanic women also had a lower rate, 83.2 percent, while the rate among Asian women, 89.4 percent, was higher than it was for white women.
"The difference between blacks and whites may seem small percentage wise -- 4 percent -- but if 200,000 women are diagnosed with early breast cancer every year, 4 percent amounts to 8,000 women who are not receive definitive primary therapy," said Freedman.
"We don't know the exact reasons for these disparities," Freedman said. "We are interested in finding out what is happening in these women, and subsequent studies need to examine how other factors have contributed to these findings. In a follow-up study, we are examining pertinent issues such as insurance status, education level, and income."

One of my mags has a level 10 bolt that keeps throwing the foamie. What is the best way to glue the new foamie on?
I replaced it last weekend, and it came of again, mid game.
One of my mags has a level 10 bolt that keeps throwing the foamie. What is the best way to glue the new foamie on?
I replaced it last weekend, and it came of again, mid game.
Step 1, make sure the foamie and the metal bolt surface are both clean. Very clean.
Step 2, trim off the flared edges ("wings") of the foamie with an exacto knife to reduce the surface that might get caught by air, which causes the foamie to get shot out easier.
Step 3, dampen the bottom of the foamie with water.
Step 3, apply a very thin film of the white Gorilla Glue to the dampened side of the foamie. I use a toothpick to make a nice even, thin layer.
Step 4, stick the glue side on the metal surface of the bolt.
Step 5, stick a 3/4" disc neodymium magnet on top of the bolt to clamp the foamie in place. Let it sit 24 hours.
I bet the wings have been the main problem.
Didn't think to shave them off.
The wings aren't the main problem but they do add to the force on the foamy. The biggest problem is using the wrong glue and not cleaning the surface properly.
Clean the surface of all debris and oil residues. Use alcohol on a swab to do a final clean of the surface to remove any residual surface film left by the previous cleaners. Use a good epoxy glue. Crazy glue works fast and holds well but degrades the foamy so don't use it even though it is mentioned in many old AGD info pages. I've not used the White Gorilla Glue but its specs look like it should work well as mentioned by Justus.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
Ah, no crazy glue.
Well, I'll be buying some epoxy tomorrow.
Superglue works well but has a limited shelf life once the tube is opened
Old Superglue that's been in your toolbox for ages is useless
ZAP superglue gel works awesome. The trick is to get all of the old residue off the bolt which can be tough. I use a wire cup brush dremel bit. You can work it into the face of the bolt and it gets all the old crud off of there quick and leaves a nice rough surface for the glue to stick to.
Epoxy is your best bet. We use this stuff called 3M Hi-Strength 90 and Super 77 glue. They'll bond metals together.
Basically contact cement on Armstrong roids

Hi, I have a 3-axis USB joystick from BG Systems that i am trying to get working with an OpenGL program, using GLUT. I know the Linux system is 'seeing' the joystick as there is another program working that uses GLFW, and it is responding to the joystick.
I've specified a joystick function using glutJoystickFunction(myjoystickfunction, 1/60.). Print statements in that function do not print at all, including when I call glutForceJoystickFunc().
Any ideas? Does that function not execute at all when/if GLUT doesn't detect the joystick?

Holy Crap! I don't think this will ever go down!
How can Bailey look hotter than normal?
Somehow you Scoreguys always manage to do that.
BBW Photos » M'Lady
Bailey Santanna trips back in time as a lady-in-waiting during the Renaissance. As in waiting for a big load of cum to be shot all over her lush body. Between photo shoots, Bailey talked to us about high school, guys and her boobs. "I love going back to my high school reunion. It's like, 'I showed you guys!' It was weird because I wasn't very popular in high school, but I've run into tons of people after high school, and then they all wanted to go out with me. Not during high school. I think I was too much to handle in high school. I had the biggest boobs by far in the entire school my senior year, and I'm short. Five-foot-four. Even teachers had a hard time talking to me sometimes." Now, you, you'd have no trouble talking to Bailey, would ya? Nah, didn't think so.
