I am not a fan of headcases so I would say no.
While I believe Demarcus Cousins has a much higher ceiling than the other players listed in the proposal, I doubt he will reach it or play at that level on a consistent basis because he is a headcase.
Also, please expect to receive some flak if you put the new savior's name in the hat.

That sounds remarkably similar to something I wrote some years ago and never released because I thought it was too trivial - although I *did* release part of it as [cpan://Sub::WrapPackages].
My version also logged the input and output from functions, which I found very useful.
You should know by now that NOTHING is too trivial
I'd like to put more hooks and options into the aspect, once I work out where exactly I want to go with this and get a little more experience using Aspect.

Well Houston isn't teaching him defense hahah. I watched the all access video from last week on Knicksnow.com and you see in a couple of the clips in the background them working together on Shumps jump shot and off the dribble shot.
"Iman Shumpert's jumpshot. Before the Bucks game Monday night, Shumpert was working with former Knick and current assistant general manager Allan Houston on shooting off screens. After the rookie missed a few in a row, Houston came up to him and said, "Sometimes your shot is too flat. More arc."

Many of the products we offer are customizable, with cushions that are made-to-order. As a result, some of the manufacturers we sell do not accept returns of these items (except in the case of incorrect or defective items).
For those manufacturers that accept NON DAMAGED returns, the following information applies. All returns must be in original packaging and be received in original, new and re-stockable condition in order to receive a refund less return shipping charges and a maximum 15% factory re-stocking fee if applicable. Please contact us at for details.
After we receive and inspect your return, we will refund the credit card used for the purchase less return shipping fees and factory re-stocking fees if applicable. We never keep your credit card information on file so you will receive a call from one of our Customer Service Experts to process your refund.
Return shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees are not refundable (except in the case of incorrect or defective items). Shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees will be deducted from the total refund amount. Due to shipping costs, we cannot offer any refunds or exchanges for orders delivered beyond the continental USA.
When your order arrives, be sure to inspect it to ensure that you received the correct products and that they were not damaged during transit. If you notice damages, be sure to note the damages with the delivery driver before you sign for it and contact our customer service department immediately. Although we experience very little concealed damages, we recommend (for large truck LTL deliveries) that you sign the delivery receipt notating "Pending Inspection". If you experience concealed damage, notating this for future reference will assist us with your claim process.
We know that sometimes it's not possible to notice all discrepancies before unpacking everything, long after the carrier has left. In such a case, please contact our Customer Service Experts within 14 Days of delivery and they will be happy to address the situation.
In all cases of damaged and incorrect shipments, we will gladly replace the item and the cost of shipping the item back to us for exchange.
After contacting us to process a return and get you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number, you will need to prepare your item for shipment. Please repack the item to be returned securely in the original packaging. Please write your RMA number in large characters on the outside of the box. Make sure the package is fully sealed before shipping. We are not responsible for packages that are lost or damaged.
Our Customer Service Experts will arrange to have the item picked up from your home. No need to take the item and have it shipped yourself; we'll take care of the legwork. Remember that return shipping charges and factory restocking fees (if applicable) are not refundable (except in the case of incorrect or defective items).
All fabrics, foam and Dacron are warranted for defects for a period of one year. South Sea Rattan's frames are guaranteed from defects in construction for a period of one year from the date of invoice provided there is no evidence of abuse.

The Pendleton "POWER" flour is design for a thicker "Chicago Style" deep dish pizza. (Perhaps the word Texture is a better way to say it) If you look closer at photo of my single piece of pizza, you can see that the dough is sort of flat and has no bubbled up spots. Some people do not like the dough this way. But i like that this dough can be cooked in a greased or oiled up Pizza Pan and then a little time on the oven rack.The Pendleton MONDAKO flour (named because the wheat is from both Montana and South Dakota) is designed for a lighter crust. What I mean by that is: The pizza crust has that sort of bubbled up look and texture to it. However, you can not cook this kind of flour in a pizza pan. It has to be cooked in an actual pizza oven or pizza stone. (at least that has been my experience) But 60 percent or higher of the pizza shops that I visited, use MONDAKO flour because they like that lighter texture, and they have commercial pizza ovens, and are not making deep dish pizza.I have seen photos on here of the lighter, bubbled up crust, but do not remember where? Perhaps someone who knows this website better than me, would be kind enough to post the link of those photos here. I also welcome, if anyone else can explain the flour issue. I am not sure that I give the best description or explanation about this. (THANK YOU IN ADVANCE)Finally, I now have a pizza stone to try, so I can use all the MONDAKO flour that I bought. I will let you know how it goes.
I do notice that the POWER flour does not get bubbled up or make light style crust, and that it is easier to bake in a pizza pan.
Maybe it is the way people out here make the dough, but this is what I am told by pizzeria owners and my personal experience, the Pendleton "POWER" flour does not give that lighter / bubbled up crust effect like the PF MONDAKO flour does.

text: How about somebody in charge doing an online survey after each national rally so members could give feedback so that the experience at the next rally can be improved? I remember one rally where we were given a paper to fill out at the closing ceremonies, but that was only one year and then it stopped. It would be easier to do this once we are back home and online, plus it would be much easier for rally organizers to see what the biggest problems were and for future organizers to plan ahead so we don't have a repeat of the problems.

MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TOMCAT, the No. 1 brand in rodent control products, announced today that all of its rodent baits and bait stations are compliant with the new safety standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"When faced with the new EPA requirements, we chose the responsible route," said Steve Levy, president and CEO of Bell Laboratories, manufacturer of TOMCAT products. "We developed new products that met EPA guidelines and, since June 2011, have manufactured and sold rodent control products that incorporate these new safety standards."
In a sweeping move to deal with manufacturers that failed to comply with the new standards, the EPA, on January 30, 2013, announced their intention to ban the sale of 12 d-CON mouse and rat poison products. From EPA's release, 'Reckitt Benckiser Inc, maker of d-CON brand products, is the only rodenticide producer that refused to adopt EPA's safety standards for all of its consumer use products.'1
The release, (www.epa.gov/pesticides), also noted Bell Laboratories' TOMCAT products as examples of rodent control products that meet new safety standards.
"We recognized the importance of protecting children, pets and wildlife and took steps early on to adopt these new safety measures," Levy added.
Since 2008, the EPA has been working with manufacturers of rat and mouse bait to develop and register safer rodent control products that are effective, affordable and widely available to meet the needs of consumers.

ST. LOUIS—With Danny Amendola expected to miss at least a month with a separated SC joint—the place where the collarbone meets the breastbone—it will take a collective effort to replace his productivity in an already struggling Rams offense.
Look for either veteran Steve Smith or second-year pro Austin Pettis to replace Amendola in the slot. Smith has been inactive the past two games but is a precise route runner with good hands. Pettis has more upside, and also has good hands, but still needs to refine his game, including escaping press coverage on the line of scrimmage.
With Amendola down, speedy rookie Chris Givens is expected to move into the starting lineup, joining Brandon Gibson. Givens and QB Sam Bradford have connected on deep balls in each of the past two games, but Givens needs to be more consistent—and more sure-handed—on short and intermediate routes.
Touted rookie Brian Quick, who has only one catch all season, must be worked into the rotation as well.
NOTES: Tight end Lance Kendricks finally got his first NFL regular-season TD catch against Arizona but still has some trouble hanging onto the football. He has the speed and athleticism to be more than a token contributor in the passing game. Due to injuries on the offensive line, he frequently has been called upon to stay in to help block and is improving as a blocker. Those duties have led to less opportunities for him as a receiver, and that's how it might be for much of the season.


text: It seems like every time in Star Trek when a protagonist ship is outgunned, they can always rely on flying really close to a sun and creating some kind of crazy science to blow them up. Or there are variations like flying into planet's atmospheres and your ship can survive and theirs can't. We've seen this strategy be effective in Arsenal of Freedom, Redemption, Descent, and at least a few times in DS9. Also Scientific Method in Voyager kind of counts. Why hasn't anyone caught on to this? These enemies never seem to think twice about following an inferior ship into a dangerous situation. I guess Star Trek does lean heavily on enemy stupidity as plot device.

OCEAN CITY — The final piece of the major two-year Boardwalk reconstruction project was completed this week with a section around N. Division Street torn up and replaced just in time for the arrival of Springfest.
The Ocean City Boardwalk has now been completely reconstructed from the Inlet to its northern terminus at 27th Street with the major restoration spread over the last two winter seasons. The first phase, which included the section from 27th Street heading south to 15th Street and the Inlet to Somerset Street, was completed last year. The project was then put on hold to accommodate the summer season.
Last October, the crews returned and started the remaining section from Somerset to 15th streets. The second phase was completed in mid-April on schedule and under budget, despite the relatively wet winter, but one bit of housekeeping remained and was completed this Wednesday, just ahead of the arrival of Springfest yesterday.
Because of the ongoing Caroline Street Comfort Station project and the need to bring heavy equipment and trucks to that job site, the section of Boardwalk around N. Division Street was left undone until this week.
"We held off replacing the Boardwalk deck between North Division and Caroline streets until the foundation for the new comfort station was completed to minimize the damage to the new wood," said City Engineer Terry McGean this week. "They are now finishing that area."
Early Wednesday morning, crews were seen tearing up a large section of old Boardwalk wood at N. Division Street roughly between the Boardwalk Arch and the Firefighters Memorial. By Wednesday afternoon, new board had been installed over the torn-up section, bringing to an end the two-year major rehabilitation project.
Meanwhile, work on the Caroline Street Comfort Station continued in earnest this week, but inclement weather has pushed back the completion date. The old underground comfort station was demolished in December with a target date for the completion of the new state-of-the-art facility and associated performance stage by Memorial Day weekend.
However, McGean told the Mayor and Council in April the contractors had lost about 14 days due to bad weather and the completion date had to be moved back. With the arrival of Springfest and another summer season pending, the Mayor and Council approved the temporary installation of portable restrooms until the completion of the project.

Republican legislative leaders say they're ready to take up the Vikings stadium bill Monday in the House, after saying Thursday their last-minute alternative failed to clear legal and financial hurdles.
The Vikings may finally get what they've been asking for — a vote on their new taxpayer-subsidized home from the Legislature. But Republican leaders warn they might not like the outcome.
"I don't know that there are the votes in the Republican caucus for the votes at this point," House Speaker Kurt Zellers said. "The Vikings have said that they believe there are, as well as the governor's office, or at least the minority leaders in both bodies."
The bill would build the team a new stadium, paid for by the state, the city of Minneapolis and the Vikings. The current plan has the state expanding charitable gambling with electronic pull tabs to pay its $400 million share of the nearly $1 billion project.
And in Zellers' clearest statement yet on the matter, the state's most prominent elected Republican said he won't be among the yes votes. He said the club should pay more for the stadium, Minneapolis residents should have a vote to waive relevant city charter language and tax payers shouldn't be responsible for cost overruns.
"This should be a good deal for the taxpayers," Zellers said. "I've said many times, I'm trying to stay out of being a political reason for people to vote for or against the bill."
The announcement capped four days of wrangling over whose plan was going to survive the two-year political battle over the Vikings' fate.
Republicans on Tuesday floated a plan to pay for the deal with general obligation bonds — essentially the state credit card. It was a reversal of their long-standing aversion to putting tax dollars into the deal.
But it quickly ran aground.
Financial experts with the Department of Management and Budget said the bonds had to be paid back in 20 years, not over the 30-year expected life of the stadium, which would change the payment schedule.
There is also a bar to helping a private entity like the Vikings, and legal experts said that would limit the team to a 15-year lease, to distance the Vikings from the bonds and prevent a court challenge.
That alone doomed the bond plan, said state Rep. Terry Morrow, DFL-St. Peter. He is a co-sponsor of the long-standing stadium plan linked to gambling expansion.
"I don't think we should bet the state's money on the idea that the Vikings will double the lease," Morrow said. "We should have a plan that is firm, consistent and people can vote for it on the front end and not hope for a good outcome in 15 years."
Republicans also pledged to borrow only $250 million for the project, leaving it as much as $150 million short of a roof — which they conceded was a must-have.
A draft of the GOP plan obtained by MPR News shows Republicans may have been counting on the Vikings to pay more. Labeled "Plan B," the document showed the team contribution rising to $525 million, a number the Vikings had ruled out.
"We will not be bringing that forward," said House Majority Leader Matt Dean. He conceded defeat, citing the Minnesota Management and Budget office objections.
"We do not want to move something forward that is not going to stand the test of scrutiny with MMB," Dean said.
That cleared the way for the existing plan to head for a vote in the House.
Gov. Mark Dayton said in a statement he was pleased the stadium plan was finally getting an up or down vote.
Vikings Vice President Lester Bagley said the team, too, was pleased.
"We are where we wanted to be. Let's get it on the floor; let's have a vote," Bagley said.
Senate Majority Leader Dave Senjem said his chamber would take up the stadium bill if and when the House passes it.

The contest for New Hampshire's Senate seat is narrowing, a new WMUR/Granite State Poll has found, but many voters have not decided definitely which candidate to support.
The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and released Thursday, found that 46% of likely voters said they would vote for Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, while 44% would vote for Republican Scott Brown, the former Massachusetts senator who is considered the frontrunner to win the GOP nomination in the state's Sept. 9 primary.
That points to a closer contest than has been described by other recent polls that have given Ms. Shaheen a wider margin, including a July Granite State poll that had her leading Mr. Brown by 50% to 38%.[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="New Hampshire" category="" ]
New Hampshire's Senate race, while competitive, hasn't been considered among Republicans' top prospects for defeating a Democratic incumbent. But it is being closely watched because Republicans hope that, if an GOP political wave develops before election day, New Hampshire will fall their way and help Republicans win the 6 seats they need to take control of the Senate.
Democrats remain confident that Ms. Shaheen, a well-known former governor, can beat Mr. Brown, who is being portrayed as a Massachusetts transplant with ties to special interests.
Andy Smith, director of the poll, said a powerful political undertow for Democrats in the state has been President Barack Obama's declining popularity. The new Granite State poll found that his approval rating had dropped to 38% — his lowest ever in New Hampshire, and even lower than the 46% level it hit in September 2010 in advance of big GOP wins in the midterm elections.
However, the state's electorate still remains in flux. The poll found that only 27% of likely voters have definitely decided who to support in the Senate race; 13% are leaning toward one candidate or another; but 60% say they are still trying to decide.

Burnett restarting rehab process following surgery
By Earl Bloom / Special to MLB.com
ANAHEIM -- Angels left-handed reliever Sean Burnett underwent Tommy John surgery this week, performed by Dr. James Andrews, and most likely won't pitch again until 2016. The Angels hold a club option on Burnett for 2015 that probably won't be exercised.
It was the second such procedure for Burnett, 31, whose first Tommy John surgery, also done by Andrews, was in September 2004, after he made his Major League debut with the Pirates.
Both of Burnett's seasons with the Angels ended with surgical procedures. He had a torn flexor tendon repaired in August 2013. Burnett had an 0.93 ERA in 13 games last season before going on the DL.
He returned to Major League action May 23 of this season against the Royals. Burnett pitched in only two more games before going back on the DL on May 28 because of a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
"I hope he has the opportunity to keep doing what he loves doing," manager Mike Scioscia said.
Stewart gets injections in left thumb
ANAHEIM -- Third baseman Ian Stewart, on the DL since May 12 because of a contusion on his left hand, said Friday he received two cortisone injections in his left thumb.
Stewart played two rehab games with Triple-A Salt Lake before returning to have his hand examined.
"There's nothing major there, just some inflammation mostly," he said.
As a result of the injections, Stewart's been shut down for a couple days. He said he'll likely remain with the Angels through the short homestand that runs through Wednesday before taking the next step in his recovery. Stewart said he didn't know if he'd return to the Bees to continue rehab games.
Angels to honor Pujols' 500th HR on Saturday
ANAHEIM -- The Angels will salute first baseman Albert Pujols for his milestone 500th home run before Saturday night's game against the White Sox. Pujols, who entered Friday with 506, hit Nos. 499 and 500 at Washington on April 22 -- the first time a player reached 500 by hitting two in the same game.
"At least my wife and kids will be there for this," Pujols said.
His family was en route to New York -- the Angels' next destination -- when he reached the milestone against the Nationals. While the Angels were in Detroit the series before, Pujols said he told his wife that he sensed he'd get to 500 soon.

Progesterone Cream, Flax Seed, and a Soy Supplements
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My breast surgeon strongly recommends that I use topical natural progesterone cream, flax seed, and a soy supplement to decrease my risk of recurrent Stage IIB breast cancer. I am incorporating soy into my diet via soymilk and am adding flax seed to my soy breakfast cereal. I'm unsure, though, about how safe progesterone cream would be for me. I certainly want to do everything I can to prevent recurrence but I'm afraid the progesterone may "feed" any remaining cancer cells. What are your thoughts on someone with my history using progesterone cream?
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
There is currently too little information available on the effect of progesterone creams, flaxseed and soy on breast cancer. Phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) are present in soy foods and to a much lesser extent in flax seed. The assumption is that the plant estrogens may bind to the estrogen receptor sites, thus preventing the body's estrogen form binding and activating the cancer process. However, there is the possibility that phytoestrogens may act as triggers and actually increase cancer risk. Unfortunately the research is equivocal. The current recommendation is to limit your intake of foods containing plant estrogens to no more than 50 mg a day.
Topical use of progesterone cream is another issue that is has been investigated even less. Until there is more information on the effects of progesterone cream in women with a history of breast cancer, especially those that are PR+, we would advise against using these products.

watching the preview today made me borrow the idea of how our two rookies compare to the other teams' rookies. Specifically how do our 2011 and 2012 first round draft picks compare to other teams' 2011 and 2012 first round picks. With the exception of having more than two first round picks of course.
I'm new, but mods feel free to adjust this as needed. Our youth has been a highlight for the Raptors the past few years, so their development, potential, play every night, importance to their respective teams ect. will be under scrutiny by everyone, especially here on RR.
If a poll can be made of succeeding in their 'match-ups' and maybe a third category as negligible (during games they get DNPs/injuries) it would be neat to see how throughout the season our rookies compare every (other) night and assess them at the end of the season.
I'd like to update the match ups on this thread before every game.

On Gay Marriage, Bachmann Sounding Sane, Bishops Being a Pain
Surging future presidentrix of America Michele Bachmann has got a well-documented problem with homosexuals, because they trap her in restrooms all the time. But on the subject of same-sex marriage, she sounds surprisingly reasonable. Maybe that gay glitter was cut with mood stabilizers?
As Think Progress reports, earlier this morning the typically crazy-eyed Bachmann calmly told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that she's cool-ish with the amendment because of states rights. "[U]nder the 10th amendment, the states have the right to set the laws that they want to set," she says. Also: "I think that it's best to allow the people to decide on this issue. I think it's best if there is an amendment that goes on the ballot, where people can weigh in. [...]" She still wants a heterosexual-marriage Constitutional amendment, she says. But the fact that she didn't speculate that the New York senate was going to build gay indoctrination preschools or force families to attend Pride Parades at gunpoint or anything else similarly paranoid and insane kind of impresses us.
While Bachmann tries out being reasonable, some of New York's Catholic church leaders have gone the opposite way—saying they're banning any of the heathen legislators who supported the same-sex bill from all Catholic church and school events—including, we assume, Lenten fish fries and charity bingo nights. Also, the bishop of Brooklyn's diocese wants all the Catholic schools to reject any honors that Governor Andrew Cuomo tries to give them, and has "asked all pastors and principals to 'not invite any state legislator to speak or be present at any parish or school celebration.'"
Hey priests: When Michele Bachmann sounds saner than you, you know you have a problem.

Leonardo DiCaprio Channels Jack Nicholson's Eyebrows – Photo of the Week
Leonardo DiCaprio may be taking a break from acting — but that doesn't mean he's taken a break from acting like Jack Nicholson.
DiCaprio co-starred along Nicholson in 2006's 'The Departed' (in which more people die than a 'Game of Thrones' episode), but this is the first time we're seeing his uber-expressive eyebrows inspired by the veteran actor. Which begs the question … why do all the best shenanigans happen on Japanese television?
Leo was on a Japanese talk show to discuss his most recent film, 'Django Unchained' — which, in the native language, translates to 'Happy Kitty Fun Time Slave Monster,' except it totally doesn't — and was asked if he did any impressions.
And that's when he pulled out Nicholson's eyebrows circa 'The Shining.'
To see DiCaprio's magical eyebrows in action while he answers questions you won't understand (unless you speak Japanese), check out the video below. Let the GIF'ing commence!

Alden Trust Donates $150,000 to Clarkson University Digital Arts & Sciences Program
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/das-ledda.jpg.]
The George I. Alden Trust of Worcester, Mass., has awarded Clarkson University a gift of $150,000 for the University's award-winning Digital Arts & Sciences Program (DA&S).
Though the program is only five years old, the gift represents a major vote of confidence that Clarkson's vision for 21st century education is headed in the right direction.
"The George I. Alden Trust has been a long-time supporter of Clarkson's mission of integrating technology into the undergraduate classroom, and the trust's latest gift to benefit our highly acclaimed Digital Arts and Sciences Program helps underwrite the program's aim to integrate technology and science into the arts," says Clarkson President Tony Collins.
The gift is specifically directed toward improvement of the program's facilities and the purchase of new equipment, both of which will foster a stronger hands-on experience for Clarkson students who will learn art and design in a state-of-the-art studio space.
Since 2010, the DA&S program has received two national awards: the Innovative Program Award (given to a single program by the International Digital Media and Arts Association) and Top-50 Game Design Program by the Princeton Review.
The 2011 fall semester will see the largest number of incoming DA&S freshman to date, growing the program's enrollment to over 60 students. Assistant Professor Dave Beck has directed the program for the past four years, and has overseen the evolution of the program.
"As we outgrow our roots of being a small entity on campus, both Clarkson and organizations like the Alden Trust are recognizing and supporting the potential for success that can be achieved by utilizing both sides of the brain," says Beck.
The DA&S Program is an interdisciplinary major like no other in the country, featuring a curriculum comprising an equal number of classes between the visual arts and the sciences.
The major delivers a foundation in the digital arts, including areas like 3D modeling and animation, interactive design, graphic and web design, and video, as well as a foundation in computer science and mathematics, such as programming for video games, virtual reality, physics, and imaging-based math courses.
For more information about Digital Arts & Sciences, visit http://www.clarkson.edu/digitalarts.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Julia Child would have been 100 on August 15, 2012. She did so much for American home cooks. Back in the day, in my neighborhood anyway, no one used fresh garlic. I don't even remember a supermarket that sold it. Everything was canned, frozen or processed. Julia encouraged home cooks to use fresh ingredients and brought French cooking techniques into our homes and lives. Thank you! As a kid, I watched Julia on WGBH in Boston - in black and white, happily hacking away at chickens and fish. Julia and I share the same birthday and when I was 10 I was given a copy of The French Chef Cookbook for a present. I treasure it to this day.
In honor of Julia, I created a special cake for her - Almond Lace Cream Cake - Sponge Cake filled with Almond Diplomat Cream and covered with Chocolate Ganache and Almond Lace Cookies. Bon Appetit Julia.
For Julia's birthday dinner, I'm making Steak Diane, Gallettes de Pommes Duchesse, and Haricots Verts a la Maitre d'Hotel, served with a nice red wine.
Anyone else making something special?
Bon Appétit Julia.

Landon Donovan is on the brink of breaking Jeff Cunningham's all-time MLS regular season goal scoring record, but what does the man whose mark is about be broken think of the LA Galaxy forward's accomplishment.
Cunningham, who scored 134 goals while making 365 appearances during his 14-year career in MLS while playing for six teams, spoke to MLSsoccer.com's Jeff Bradley earlier this week about the goal scoring record. When asked about how he felt when Donovan tied his record, Cunningham handled the question with grace, mentioning his humble upbringings back in Jamaica.
"If you know my background, I grew up in Jamaica playing barefoot. My goal was to play professional. And now you're asking me, interviewing me about being the all-time leading scorer, in a league that has produced many great players," said Cunningham to Bradley. "And now I'm going to be passed by one of the best players in US soccer history. That's a pretty good story. I'm proud of where I am, and what I've accomplished. I'm honored. To be asked these questions, to be mentioned alongside Landon Donovan, I'm humbled."
But does Cunningham any words for Donovan as he prepares to pass him on the league's all-time goal scoring chart?
"Landon, Landon, Landon ... you have every record in the US. Why couldn't you just let me have this one?" Cunningham joked.
"No, really, I'm honored to be up there with him. I think the world of him and for me to be mentioned with him, that's not too shabby, my friend."

Constructivism is an art movement which originated in Russia in the 1920's. It rejected art as an autonomous idea, but favored it as a social one. Constructivists supported the Bolshevik government. They were involved in public life. Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893 1930), the Russian poet, playwright and artist declared: "the streets are our brushes, the squares our palettes" Constructivists not only employed the plastic arts as their means of expression, but expanded to the areas of industry, graphic design and the performing arts. Members, such as Rodchenko, Varvara Stepanova and Liuboy Popova developed the definition of Constructivism as a combination of faktura the particular material properties of an object, and tektonika, its spatial presence. The artists employed angular and geometric shapes in their composition. Constructivism influenced other art movements of the twentieth century, such as Bauhaus and De Stijl.

manual gearbox in Tesla Model S
manual gearbox in Tesla Model S
Why would you want to have a gearbox in EV?
There is no Model S available anywhere yet. 2012 maybe.
As far as I know the Roadster and the Model S will only have one gear. So no need to change it. So I guess there can't be a manual gearbox.
With EVs, you have to think differently about driving. No need for gears--the redline (maximum RPM) for the Model S will be in the 15,000 RPM range. When you're at 15,000 RPM, you're going to be going 125 MPH (201 KPH).
Since electric motors have nearly constant torque over the RPM range, there would be no benefit to shifting to a lower gear to get more torque.
When EVs are predominant on the roadways, gears will be reserved for bicycles and antique "gas cars".
In other words, it is only because a gas engine cannot produce enough torque at lower rpms that they absolutely need gears to keep the engine running at higher rpms. On top of that, gas engines are only about 20% efficient, so racing the engine gives you even less gas mileage in order to get any torque you need to accelerate decently.
LOL! There were silly questions and speculations back in 2010!
So Nothing has really changed in 4 years!
Yeah bro it has a Hurst short shifter and a wheelie bar option too.

I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen. They're talking about "creating new schools," which sounds like they mean new buildings. Kids are probably sharing books because the schools are over capacity, which is a common problem in cities. They need more (or larger) school buildings, with staff and books.
Public domain books would be a great initiative, but making them available online doesn't help children of families that have no access to the internet at home. Beyond that, I can imagine a thousand

Graham & Doddsville, an investment newsletter from the students of Columbia Business School, has proven in the past to be a must-read for value investors – and the most recent issue didn't disappoint. The fall 2012 issue had a fantastic interview with Joel Greenblatt, the managing partner of Gotham Capital, in which he talked about his start in investing, how he's changed as an investor over time, and the responsibility he feels successful financial professionals have to give back to society. In that interview, Mr. Greenblatt gave an interesting answer in response to a question about selectivity when adding positions to his portfolio (bold added for emphasis):
"One of the things I said in "You Can Be a Stock Market Genius" is if you don't lose money, most of the alternatives are good. Even if you don't know what the upside is – if you just know there's upside – you can create scenarios where you have an excellent risk/reward. Positions with limited down-side are the types of positions that I have loaded up on in the past. Not the positions with the biggest payoff. I could buy a lot knowing that I wouldn't lose much and that there were good possibilities that it was worth a lot more over time. At the very least, I knew that my downside was well-protected and so I could create an asymmetric risk/reward by saying if I don't lose much, there are not many alternatives other than to make money."
This quote is particularly relevant today, for the simple reason that the majority of investors appear concerned with one thing – yield and capital preservation. To date, this has resulted in huge inflows to fixed income ETF's, as well as run-up's in both telecommunications and utilities, which offer sizable dividend yields and are assumed to be the safest place to hide in the scary world of equity investing.
Using the 10-year as our example, treasuries appear to pass the first bar – the U.S. government will repay that bond someday, so you'll get your principal back in 2022 in addition to your sub-2% annual yield. However, real risk isn't measured in terms of nominal capital preservation: It's measured in terms of purchasing power – and on that front, Treasuries look very risky indeed. Let's look at a simple example recently presented by Leon Cooperman: This simply looks at the return on a 10-year purchased at 1.5% (like it was a few weeks ago), and the rates it could potentially move to a few years down the road (assuming it follows the historical precedence of tracking nominal GDP, which is simply the summation of real growth and inflation, this doesn't require much– even 2% real global GDP growth and 2% inflation gets us to a 4% yield):
|Total Return
|Average Annual Return
Remember, this is the what many people assume is the "safe" asset; in reality, Treasuries look a lot more like return-free risk – and most retail investors, who think that they have avoided risk by ditching the equity markets and instead loaned some money to Uncle Sam, are setting themselves up to potentially get slaughtered, as they've done time and time again.
Compare that to a company like Procter & Gamble (PG), which has paid a dividend for 120 years, has increased it every year for over half a century (at a rate approaching 10% per annum), and currently yields 3.30%. The company is on solid financial footing, trades at a reasonable multiple to earnings and free cash flow, has pricing power to mitigate the effects of inflation, and is priced for limited growth in the future despite a huge – and decades-long – market opportunity coming from billions of individuals who, much like their development market counterparts, want products that make their lives easier and better; as David Winters recently put it, "You've got a lot of people and they all want to look good; it's just a basic human emotion, and the Chinese are just like everybody else."
This isn't a big secret – and in 2000, Procter & Gamble rode the market tide that lifted all boats, partly due to talks of the huge surge in demand that would come from the developing world. At that time, the stock peaked just shy of $60 – or about 50x the split-adjusted earnings for fiscal year 2000 of $1.235 per share. The performance of P&G common stock since that time shows what happens when years of unattainable growth are priced in by the market – eventually, that stock is due to take a beating. Yet, compare the current 10-year Treasury investor of 2012 to the guy who bought P&G at the peak – on a 10-year basis (with the benefit of hindsight), we can see that the long-term equity investor (due to slight capital gains plus the growing dividend) still managed to outpace the bond buyer who's holding long term treasuries sporting a sub-2% yield.
Yet even with the benefit of hindsight, long term investors still grab Treasuries in the name of "safety" – despite the fact that P&G, which would've outperformed today's bonds even from the 50x starting point, trades at a normalized multiple of well under half that level.
When I look at the financials for P&G (along with companies on a similar trajectory like PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson, etc), I think their current valuations (and even more so a few months ago) exemplify exactly what Mr. Greenblatt is talking about; it's a situation where there's plenty of upside potential, with almost no real risk of permanent impairment of capital. The same thing is true with Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(BRK.B), yet even more so – in this case, the plenty of upside potential and limited downside risk was solidified by an open buyback at a price just a couple percentage points below the market price – and with tens of billions in capital to support that floor. I think time will show that investors in situations like BRK.B and PG will trounce long-term Treasuries over a period of five or more years; considering that most people have a time horizon extending years (if not decades) into the future, I think the decision for the intelligent investor is crystal clear.

No accounting for Deloitte taste
Kathmandu founder Jan Cameron is finding it hard to stay out of the spotlight these days. The company that she used to buy back failed discount retailer Retail Adventures is late in filing its financial accounts and the liquidators and creditors of the group are clamouring to see how the operation is faring.
Retail Adventures Pty Ltd was put into liquidation in February this year, and team leader, Deloitte's Vaughan Strawbridge, is targeting Cameron entities for up to $100 million in claims over the group's collapse in 2012.
''I'm assuming ASIC have already been put on notice,'' Strawbridge told a meeting of creditors last month. ''But we are aware these accounts have not been lodged.''
The accounts remained AWOL on Friday. If ASIC fails to hurry things along, the liquidators can always question Cameron about the health of the business when she appears at the public examinations they are planning to hold later this year.
Mariner a wreck
Is it time to send this Mariner's curse to the corporate graveyard?
Mariner Corp's life as a corporate raider looks to be on the rocks and CBD is wondering whether anyone should at least consider a name change before attempting a third act for this market tadpole.
Two of its current executive directors, Don Christie and Darren Olney-Fraser, are facing bans and fines over their failed tilt at Austock in 2012.
Mariner has foundered again, with a market cap of $1 million and doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Olney-Fraser took control of the company from its founder, Bill Ireland, in 2010 after the company had well and truly hit the rocks in the wake of the financial crisis. He had the intent of turning Mariner into a corporate raider along the lines of Ron Brierley's Guinness Peat Group.
Ireland, who gained fame as the founder of Challenger before Kerry Packer turfed him from the investment group, filed for bankruptcy in 2011 with a tax bill totalling $38 million and many other creditors left holding the can.
Among these were the tradies who worked on his 21-hectare rural retreat in the NSW southern highlands, Corterre Park, which went under the hammer later that year for $5.75 million.
Water retention
Paul Nicolaou's $5000-a-month retainer with the Eddie Obeid-linked Australian Water Holdings was not the only business keeping him busy in 2010.
Nicolaou was looking to secure a corporate board seat while rattling the tin for the Libs and spruiking for AWH.
His attempt at a boardroom coup at market dog Wallace Absolute Return in May that year - alongside the head of Sandon Capital, Gabriel Radzyminski - went the same way as his NSW byelection tilt five years earlier. Finally in September 2010 media tiddler Hyro Ltd invited him to join its board, noting his credentials as ''a respected, experienced fund-raiser and marketer with impressive and extensive relationships in both the enterprise and government sectors''.
Nicolaou was out the door within two years and as far as CBD can tell he has not appeared on any publicly listed company board since.
Fashionable field
The shameless bunch at Sportsbet is offering odds on which international retailer is going to set up shop next, and more importantly for the Sydney/Melbourne rivalry, where.
''The fact H&M opened first in Melbourne gives the Melburnians good bragging rights about being the fashion capital of the country,'' says Sportsbet's Shaun Anderson.
With H&M opening on Bourke Street, Sportsbet's odds on the chain's next local opening being Sydney is $1.85 - as opposed to Alice Springs, which is priced at $51.
Noting the rumour that Marks & Spencer is hunting for retail space in Sydney, it is priced as the next likely entrant at $2.10, well ahead of Harrods at $101. CBD could not find any odds on offer for when Myer's stock price returns to its IPO levels.
