April 19, 2019, 5:56 pmJoel Embiid - F/C - Philadelphia Sixers
Joel Embiid (left knee soreness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's Game 4 vs. the Nets.
This news isn't surprising seeing as Embiid missed Game 3 due to the knee pain. With the Sixers up 2-1 in the first round series, Embiid could sit out another one. Greg Monroe, who started Game 3, Jonah Bolden and Boban Marjanovic would be the prime beneficiaries with Amir Johnson also in line to pick up a few minutes.

May 19, 2019, 1:40 amStephen Curry - G - Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry scored 36 points in Saturday's 110-99 Game 3 win over the Blazers, adding six rebounds, three assists and five turnovers.
Curry led his team offensively, contributing 36 points on 11-for-26 shooting. On a night where teammate Draymond Green was the primary facilitator, Curry settled in on scoring the bulk of his team's points from off the ball screens and shots from behind the arc. The Warriors have the luxury to allow for multiple ball-handlers and Curry seemed happy to acquiesce as he and Klay Thompson combined for 55 points with seven 3-pointers. Look for Curry to continue to lead the team in scoring as Kevin Durant is not expected to be back this series.
May 19, 2019, 1:37 amDamian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers
Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that Damian Lillard has been playing through separated ribs in the Western Conference Finals.
Charania and Sam Amick have since reported that the injury occurred in Game 2 when Kevon Looney landed on Lillard's ribs. To this point he's playing with a pad on his torso, though his current run of poor shooting extends back into the second round before the injury was sustained. The Blazers are facing a deep hole down 0-3 to the Warriors, and Lillard will surely be finishing out the series despite his injury. Between the ailment and Golden State selling out to stop him, Lillard has had to battle through quite a bit in the WCF.

May 19, 2019, 1:09 amDamian Jones - C - Golden State Warriors
Damian Jones got the start for the Warriors but played just three minutes after picking up three fouls in the first quarter to finish with no other countable statistic in Saturday's win.
Jones got the start and then got the hook early after drawing three fouls in the first 3:17 of Game 3. Jones got the start over Andrew Bogut after playing just two minutes in Game 2 and two minutes in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Bogut and Jones played a combined six minutes this game and did not contribute anything offensively. Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney picked up the slack and ended up playing 42 minutes and contributing 14 points. It is unlikely that Jones will start again going into Game 4.
May 19, 2019, 12:55 amDraymond Green - F - Golden State Warriors
Draymond Green went off on Saturday's win, posting a monster 20-13-12 line and adding four steals and one block.
Draymond was all over the court for the Warriors posting his seventh career postseason triple-double. With his team down 13 points to start the second half, Green channeled his inner Magic Johnson and rallied the Warriors with six rebounds, six assists and two steals to take the lead going into the fourth quarter. His defensive intensity continues to be a catalyst for the team and is a major reason why the Warriors continue to dominate in this series.
May 19, 2019, 12:39 amMaurice Harkless - F - Trail Blazers
Moe Harkless scored six points and added three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in Saturday's loss.
Harkless did all of his damage in the first half and looked to be on his way to a great game scoring six points and adding two steals/blocks. Unfortunately he would not score again and added just one assist to his stat line in the second half. Fellow forward Al-Farouq Aminu added just two points in the losing effort and he and Harkless continue to get marginalized in the Blazers' small-ball lineup. Harkless has the ability to contribute for the team and they will need him to re-find his aggressiveness if the they plan on making this a series.
May 19, 2019, 12:26 amSeth Curry - G - Trail Blazers
Seth Curry went 2-for-6 from the field for five points, adding three rebounds, one steal and one turnover in Saturday's loss.
Curry continues to play heavy minutes for the Blazers, playing 30 minutes in the Game 3 loss. Unfortunately, similar to the rest of his team, he could not get much going offensively by contributing just five points and not much else. The team continues to feature a small lineup featuring Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Curry in hopes of pushing the tempo. Expect him to continue to see big minutes off the bench as he hopes to contribute more offensively in Game 4.
May 19, 2019, 12:23 amAndre Iguodala - G/F - Golden State Warriors
Andre Iguodala was limited to 18 minutes in Saturday's Game 3 win because of left calf tightness and is expected to undergo an MRI on Sunday.
Iguodala posted two points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal while going 1-of-5 from the field. With the Warriors taking a stranglehold on the series with tonight's win, it's fair to question whether or not they ask Iguodala to push through his injury. It doesn't appear to be overly serious but we will find out more tomorrow.

May 19, 2019, 12:12 amDamian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard shot 3-for-9 from behind the arc on 5-for-18 overall on Saturday, resulting in just 19 points with six rebounds, six assists, two steals and five turnovers in 40 minutes.
Lillard's shooting woes continue into Game 3. He and CJ McCollum shot a combined 12-for-38 from the field, 5-for-19 on 3-pointers and 13-for-20 from the free throw line in the loss. Three games into Western Conference Finals, Dame has shot 15-for-46 from the field. The Blazers will lean on Lillard to find his shot going into Game 4 where they host the Warriors in hopes of extending the series.
May 18, 2019, 11:55 pmMeyers Leonard - F/C - Trail Blazers
Meyers Leonard got the start at center for Portland and scored 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting, adding three 3-pointers, three rebounds and four assists in Saturday's loss.
Leonard got the start over Enes Kanter before the start of the game and responded well by scoring 16 points. Though quiet in the second half, he was a difference maker in the first half with his hustle and ability to stretch the floor. Kanter, who moved to the bench, responded with seven points in seven minutes and did not do much to bump Leonard out of the starting lineup going into Game 4.
May 18, 2019, 10:11 pmAndre Iguodala - G/F - Golden State Warriors
After a brief trip to the locker room at the end of the first quarter on Saturday, Andre Iguodala has checked back into the game in the second quarter.
Apparently, there's no cause for concern and Iguodala is back in. Every time the 34-year-old veteran heads to the locker room, there's always a risk and some accompanying worry. All good. Iguodala and his elite defense is back on the floor to hassle the Blazers.

What to do in New Orleans between meals
Marnie Hunter, CNN • Updated 6th February 2013
We asked readers to weigh in on
New Orleans
' best dishes, and boy,
did you deliver
. We received delicious descriptions of beignets and bacon sundaes, shrimp po' boys and alligator sausage cheesecake. But a person can only eat so much.
Fortunately, you also offered some great ideas for the between-meal hours. When you've had your fill of eating and drinking yourself silly, check out these activities:
Escape to nature
Less than 30 minutes from the city, the
Barataria Preserve
outside Marrero offers a snapshot of South Louisiana wildlife. Part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, the 23,000-acre wilderness area is a favorite spot for John Zoeckler, of Diamond Bar, California.
Zoeckler and his wife like to walk out into the bayou at the preserve. "The boardwalk makes a safe, more or less hazard-free walk out of what might have otherwise been a muddy and dangerous trek. We have seen alligators, snakes, spiders, lizards, frogs, and occasionally, other tourists there," Zoeckler wrote on iReport.com.
"It can be hot and thick with insect life, but it's well worth these inconveniences. Take bug repellant, a hat, water and a camera when you go," he said.
The park is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but closed on
Mardi Gras
, so save it for a post-revelry stroll.
Teach a man to -- cook jambalaya
OK, so some educational activities
involve eating. A few hours at the
New Orleans School of Cooking
will serve you well when you get home and are "jonesing for some jambalaya," said Edward Slonaker of Corpus Christi, Texas.
"I did the gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding class. You learn the basics of making a roux, the differences between 'Cajun' and 'Creole' cooking, even the secrets to making a good praline! And, they give you all the recipes of the dishes they make," Slonaker wrote. Plus, you eat what's prepared in front of you.
Colleen Levitt, of Royal Oak, Michigan, also enjoyed a cooking demonstration and "got a history lesson to boot," she wrote.
Demonstration classes are held most days starting at 10 a.m., with afternoon classes at 2 p.m.
A festive river ride
Prairieville, Louisiana, resident Marissa Turner went to college in New Orleans and lives 90 minutes away. "I've done just about everything there is to do in NOLA," she said.
"The most enjoyable thing we've ever done was the Christmas Eve cruise on the
Steamboat Natchez
. Of course, the food and 'good cheer' was wonderful, but hearing Christmas carols done by a Dixieland jazz band while watching the fog roll over the river and the city was amazing," she said.
The Steamboat Natchez offers live jazz on all of its Mississippi River outings, which include dinner cruises, evening jazz cruises, lunch cruises and two-hour daytime cruises.
Wild things beyond Bourbon Street
The city's
Audubon Zoo
also provides a nice change of scenery.
"Set away from all the noise of the French Quarter, this park has got some beautiful, tranquil exhibits of exotic animals," Slonaker said.
The "Louisiana Swamp" exhibit is also a must, he said. The zoo is fun, educational, and "you'll walk off all the great food you've been devouring in the French Quarter."
Admission is $17.50 for adults and $12 for children. The zoo is closed on Mardi Gras.
A historical treasure
Founded by historian and author Stephen Ambrose, the
National World War II Museum
in New Orleans looks at the American experience of the war.
"This museum is full of history and kept the interest of my two high school children," wrote one iReporter, using the handle usafsmsgt.
"From the Higgins boat, to the planes, to the story of rations and chocolate, this is a wonderful place to go and it is still expanding."
The museum is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets to the museum are $22 for adults. Museum admission is free for World War II veterans and discounts are offered to members of the military with identification.
Don't forget the music
Just as satisfying your appetite is a cinch in this city, filling your ears with world-class music is just as easy.
"Preservation Hall affords you intimate access to lifelong musicians; stay for one 45-minute set or all three," wrote Alycon Pierce of Falls Church, Virginia.
Preservation Hall
is a Crescent City institution, established in 1961 to preserve New Orleans jazz as rock and modern jazz grew in popularity. Live music brings the hall to life nightly from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. It's an all-ages experience; admission is $15. The French Quarter hall is closed for Mardi Gras (Saturday to Fat Tuesday) and set to reopen on Wednesday.
For a "very intimate and authentic New Orleans venue," Anthony DiFatta, of Jackson, Mississippi, recommends
on Napoleon Avenue.
Judy Pfau Hull of Rochester, New York, suggests venturing out of the Quarter to The Marigny for live music. The district along the neighborhood's Frenchmen Street is home to some of the city's best venues.
Illinois resident Dianne Vehlow has visited the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street twice. "The Blue Nile is the kind of neighborhood place where customers walk in with an enormous pizza and not only enjoy it themselves, but share it with the band. This actually happened the first time I was there."
This story was updated in February 2013.

Federal-Mogul Develops New Ceramic for Better Plugs
Related: Automotive Powertrain
Related Suppliers
When people generally think about downsized, highly boosted engines, they probably don't take into account the fact that because within the cylinders there are higher peak temperatures and pressures, there are significant demands placed on . . . the spark plugs. What's more, lean fuel mixtures and alternative fuels are more difficult to ignite.
And because the engines are smaller, because there are four valves, because there is direct injection and so there needs to be space for the fuel injector in the combustion chamber, and because the need for more space for coolant packages to help manage the thermal loads . . . there is less space for the spark plugs.
Featured Content
To address this, Federal-Mogul (federalmogul.com) has developed a new high-performance spark plug ceramic, SureFire Plus, that allows the manufacture of spark plugs that can deliver voltages of 42 kV or more (compared with 36 kV) and have a smaller diameter, 10 mm, for example, rather than 14 mm. Whereas spark plug insulators are generally made with 95% alumina and 5% glass, the new Federal-Mogul material is said to have "a significantly higher percentage" of alumina and the balance of various oxides that serve to minimize electrical current leakage through the ceramic material.
The characteristics of the material have required the development of a new manufacturing process to produce it. Rich Keller, director of product ignition engineering, Bearings & Ignition, Federal-Mogul Powertrain, said, "Developing a ceramic microstructure with superior resistance to high-voltage breakdown was a vital first step, but to make SureFire Plus a production reality required a develop-ment breakthrough in compaction process technology." Federal-Mogul
plans to have SureFire Plus in high-volume production by May 2014.

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — The 2013 trade deadline will be remembered more for the lack of movement than for any deal that was made. We had a handful of transactions in the final hours before the deadline, but the best player dealt this week was a guy who has started a grand total of 52 games over seven seasons.
That would be J.J. Redick, who is heading to Milwaukee in a six-player trade. The Bucks are also getting Gustavo Ayon and Ish Smith from Orlando. The Magic will receive Beno Udrih, Doron Lamb and Tobias Harris in return.
Redick is a role player, but one who should help the Bucks, who have struggled on both ends of the floor as they've lost eight of their last 10 games, dropping below .500 for the first time since early December. Now in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, they're just three games in the loss column ahead of ninth-place Philadelphia.
The Bucks were reportedly the leaders in the race for Josh Smith, who is surprisingly staying in Atlanta … for the next few months or so. The Hawks apparently did not have a deal they liked, and will have to hope for a sign-and-trade deal in July if they want something in return for Smith. Our own Sekou Smith says that the Hawks will have "no chance" to re-sign Smith.
Atlanta did make a minor move, sending Anthony Morrow to Dallas for Dahntay Jones.
As much as the lack of a Josh Smith move was a surprise, so was the fact that the Utah Jazz stood pat. With Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter waiting in the wings, the Jazz have both Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap on expiring deals. We don't know if the Jazz had an opportunity to upgrade their backcourt this week, but maybe, like the Hawks, they'd prefer to let one (or both) of those guys walk in the summer.
The Boston Celtics made a minor deal, but held on to both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett for the stretch run. They'll be adding Jordan Crawford to their backcourt, sending Jason Collins and the contract of Leandro Barbosa to Washington in exchange for the volume scorer who has been out of the Wizards' rotation for the last couple of weeks.
Other moves:
- The Heat sent Dexter Pittman and a second-round pick to Memphis.
- The Bobcats traded Hakim Warrick to the Magic for Josh McRoberts.
- In order to get under the luxury tax line, the Warriors are sending Jeremy Tyler to Atlanta and Charles Jenkins to Philadelphia.
- The Raptors traded Hamed Haddadi and a second-round pick to the Suns for Sebastian Telfair.
- The Thunder sent Eric Maynor to Portland.
- The Knicks sent Ronnie Brewer to OKC for a pick.
In addition to Smith, Richard Hamilton (Bulls), Andrea Bargnani (Raptors), Kris Humphries (Nets), Ben Gordon (Bobcats), DeJuan Blair (Spurs) and Evan Turner (Sixers) aren't going anywhere. The Denver Nuggets didn't get a shooter, the Brooklyn Nets didn't get any of their targets (Smith, Millsap, etc.), and the Los Angeles Clippers will try to get past the Spurs and Thunder with what they have.
The new collective bargaining agreement certainly had a role in the inactivity. The new, steeper luxury takes goes into effect next season, so contracts that don't expire this season are a heavy burden to bear. Two years from now, the repeater tax goes into effect, so there's plenty of incentive for teams to get under the tax line this year as well.
And now that the deadline has passed, we can get on with the remainder of the season, knowing that the landscape hasn't changed one bit.

A lot of writers have asked me who proofreads my manuscripts before I self-publish them.
My answer: Diana Cox at www.novelproofreading.com.
Here she is to talk about her proofreading business:
Not many people have careers they can honestly say they enjoy. Throughout my past fifteen years in accounting, I have constantly, in the back of my mind, wondered if there wasn't something I could do that would allow me to make a living doing something I truly enjoy. One of my favorite things to do is read. But who gets paid to read? I finally realized that I could put my OCD/perfectionist tendencies to use and get paid to read! Ever since I was in school and throughout my career, fellow students and co-workers have brought me writings and communications to check over. I already had my accounting bachelor's degree, so I started taking courses in proofreading and editing, as well as grammar and writing improvement. It was a perfect fit—I loved it and I was good at it! I find it very exciting and an honor to be part of the process that makes these great books available to the public. Although my part in the process is small, I feel my work puts the finishing touches on the book and represents both my work as well as the author's—and I want us both to look exceptional!
Proofreading is necessary, even for authors who have excellent spelling and grammatical skills. It is not a matter of the author being capable of doing it himself; it is a matter of where the author needs to focus his energy. Plus, it is very difficult to proof one's own work. The purpose of my service is to allow the author to do his job. Writers are very creative and they need to focus on that creativity rather than the small details. The author should be able to concentrate on the story and maintain momentum once he gets writing, not waste time and effort worrying about crossing every t and dotting every i. In order to compete with the traditionally published works, however, independent authors need to ensure their work is up to par and maintains the same standards set by the publishers.
Since my market is mainly independent authors, I try to keep my prices low. I know authors in this situation have to cover all the expenses themselves up front to get a book published. I want to help independent authors get published, not hinder them.
Joe has been gracious enough to give me this opportunity to introduce myself and provide some basic information on my proofreading services. I focus on novels and short stories. My rates are very reasonable—they start at $4.50 per 1,000 words for projects under 25,000 words, $3.50 per 1,000 words for 25,000 to 80,000 words, and $3.00 per 1,000 words for projects over 80,000 words. There is a $20.00 minimum charge for any project. Expected turnaround time for an average novel is three to four days. Requests for turnaround times of less than two days may incur additional charges, depending upon the project. I will do everything in my power to meet your deadline; however, that is not always possible. If there is any doubt in my capability to meet your deadline, I will let you know up front.
In an effort to build my client list, I am offering half off my first proofreading project for new clients. Please feel free to visit my website at www.novelproofreading.com. You may also e-mail me at email@example.com.
Joe sez: Diana has proofed my last five or six projects. She's fast and thorough. She sends you a MS Word doc with her editing suggestions, which you can either approve of or reject directly on the manuscript.
I highly recommend her.

When you buy an insurance policy, you'll need to meet the minimum amount of coverage required in your state. But you can also add other types of coverage to your policy to give yourself further protection. So how much insurance do you really need? Here are five of the most common types of coverage explained.
Should you ever be judged responsible for causing an accident, liability coverage will help. It can pay for the medical bills of the other party and provide them with compensation for property damage. Most states require you to carry some level of liability insurance.
This type of insurance will cover the repairs to your car following an accident. In the event that your vehicle is totaled, your insurance company will give the value of your car. Collision coverage is optional in most situations. If you drive a new or expensive car, buying collision coverage may be worth it, but if you have an older model, it might make financial sense to go without it.
Comprehensive coverage will help you fix damage that isn't caused by a collision. For example, if you're car catches on fire or is vandalized, you'll be able to pay for repairs. You'll also be protected from natural disasters like floods and tornadoes. In most cases, you purchase comprehensive collision coverage together.
Some drivers choose to break the law by not purchasing insurance. Others may not have enough coverage to fully pay for the damage caused by an accident. If you get into an accident with one of these drivers, this type of coverage can help you pay for your car repairs and medical bills.
If you get into an accident, personal injury protection (PIP) will pay for your medical bills as well as the expenses of your passengers. This type of coverage offers your protection regardless of who was at fault. Carrying PIP is mandatory in some places. It's a wise idea to purchase it even if you live in a state where it's not required.

Subject: Bank Secrecy Act/ Anti-Money Laundering
Date: May 1, 2007
To: Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Final Rule: Imposition of Special Measures Against Banco Delta Asia, Including Its Subsidiaries Delta Asia Credit Limited and Delta Asia Insurance Limited, as a Financial Institution of Primary Money Laundering Concern
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued a final rule on March 14, 2007, that imposes special measures against Banco Delta Asia (BDA), including its subsidiaries Delta Asia Credit Limited and Delta Asia Insurance Limited. The rule follows the Secretary of the Treasury's September 20, 2005, designation, under section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, of BDA, along with its subsidiaries as a financial institution of primary money laundering concern.
Effective April 18, 2007, national banks must terminate any correspondent account 1 that is established, maintained, administered, or managed in the United States for, or on behalf of BDA. Also, national banks are required to apply due diligence to correspondent accounts that is reasonably designed to guard against indirect use by BDA. At a minimum, that due diligence must include notifying correspondent account holders that the correspondent account may not be used to provide BDA with access to the correspondent account; taking reasonable steps to identify any indirect access and appropriate steps to prevent such indirect access; and documenting compliance with the notice requirement to correspondent account holders.
For further information, contact your examiner-in-charge, your OCC supervisory office, or the Compliance Department at (202) 649-5740.
Ann F. Jaedicke
1 A correspondent account is an account established for a foreign bank to conduct such activities as receiving deposits, making payments, engaging in other disbursements on behalf of the bank, and/or handling other financial transactions related to that bank. See 31 CFR 103.175 (d) (1) (ii).

Joey Hishon update and other Avalanche prospect news
A quick-hit blog here, talking about some of the Avalanche's top prospects and how they're doing this season.
Spent some time of the phone with Avalanche vice president of player development Craig "The Biller" Billington going over his thoughts on several guys.
First off, a bit of news: Billington skated this morning in Cleveland with Joey Hishon, the concussed 2010 Avalanche first-round draft pick. Hishon still has not been cleared to play. But he is with the Lake Erie Monsters on a regular basis now and is skating. Billington says it's still a "day by day" thing. Really, I don't want to read anything more into it than that. Nobody should say whether anything is positive or negative regarding Hishon's condition. Well, I guess it can be classified as positive that he's on skates and apparently feeling OK. But beyond that, nobody knows still when the talented forward will play again.
The Biller is, by nature, a sunny-side-of-life guy, so he tends to always accentuate the positive with Avalanche prospects. We also know that negativity isn't a prized possession in Avalanche-land. That said, here is Billington's assement of some guys, starting with defenseman Stefan Elliott – whose numbers so far with the Monsters have NOT looked positive. 25 games, one goal, three assists, ,-7.
ELLIOTT: "Stats don't always tell the whole story. I think Stefan has played really well the past few weeks. I saw him last night and I thought he played well. He had a slow start. The American Hockey League is a very good level of hockey and very challenging. He's still learning. I think he's on the right side of the curve if you will. It's going to work out just fine. He's a good evaluator of his own play. He'll keep learning."
TYSON BARRIE: "It's going well. He's a dynamic, creative defenseman who has very good hockey sense. Very focused. Ahead of a lot of players in terms of what he knows he has to do away from the rink."
CALVIN PICKARD, AND OTHER GOALIES IN THE SYSTEM LIKE KENT PATTERSON, KIERAN MILLAN AND SAMI AITTIKALLIO: "I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing from all of them, and how that position is in our organization right now. They've all had their moments. You see all four making strides. It's all their first year of pro, and it's not an easy task. But they're all making contributions."
MICHAEL SGARBOSSA: "When you lead your OHL team in points and now are putting up points in the AHL, it shows something. His compete level is good. Strong player."
DUNCAN SIEMENS: "It's going well again. I've seen him a number of times. His team is on a good run right now. His season is getting better and better. He's challenged himself to work on the areas he needs to work on and has been diligent about it."
Siemens' numbers, like Elliott's, don't look great. 26 games, one goal, -7. Trouble is, I never get to see any of these kids play until they make their way to Colorado, so I really have nothing to base an opinion on, other than reports from guys like Biller.
But things seem pretty decent with the talent pipeline for now.

A neutron star crash may have spawned a black hole
X-rays suggest the merger didn't create a supersized version of the stellar remnants
M. Weiss/CXC/NASA
The first observed smashup of two stellar remnants known as neutron stars probably forged the least massive black hole yet discovered, researchers report in the June 1 Astrophysical Journal Letters.
This cosmic collision, observed in August 2017, took the astronomical community by storm and offered insights into the origins of precious metals and the mysterious dark energy that fuels the expansion of the universe (SN: 11/11/17, p. 6). Ever since, astronomers have wondered what became of the two neutron stars once they'd merged. This enigmatic amalgamation of dead stars — weighing about 2.7 times the mass of the sun — was suspected to be either a neutron star heftier than any yet discovered or the most lightweight black hole. The previous record-holder for lightest black hole was about four solar masses, says study coauthor David Pooley, a physicist at Trinity University in San Antonio.
Pooley and colleagues analyzed data collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope several months after gravitational wave detectors first identified the neutron star collision. If the pair of neutron stars united to form an even more massive dead star, then researchers would expect that mega-neutron star to be surrounded by a bright shell of high-energy particles — similar to the Crab Nebula, but much brighter (SN Online: 6/13/08). X-rays coming from the site of the crash were far too faint to match this explanation, leading the team to conclude that the collision birthed a black hole instead.
Future observations of the collision remnant's X-ray brightness could help confirm or deny the black hole's existence, says study coauthor Pawan Kumar, an astrophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Reliever Jason Motte and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
The 30-year-old right-hander had a career-high 42 saves in 49 chances last year, when he was 4-5 with a 2.75 ERA. He made $2 million.
Motte is 17-13 with a 2.87 ERA and 54 saves since his major league debut in 2008. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2014 season.
St. Louis announced the deal on Tuesday.
Two Cardinals remain in arbitration: third baseman David Freese and left hander Marc Rzepczynski. If they fail to reach agreements, hearings would be held next month in Phoenix before three-arbitrator panels.

Published in 2009, The Red Book contains Jung's self-explorations, representing the source of many of Jung's theories regarding the collective unconscious, archetypes, psychological types, and the process of individuation. "The overall theme of the book is how Jung regains his soul and overcomes the contemporary malaise of spiritual alienation. This is ultimately achieved through enabling the rebirth of a new image of God in his soul and developing a new world view in the form of a psychological and theological cosmology." Accompanying the calligraphy of Jung's text are incredibly controlled surreal illustrations of psychologically and spiritually thematic images.
Art critic and Huffington Post contributor Peter Frank considers The Red Book a great work of art, writing, "It is an endlessly fascinating and staggeringly luxurious artifact, a thing of beauty and of magic. It could pass for a Bible rendered by a medieval monk, especially for the care with which Jung entered his writing as ornate Gothic script. It just happens that his art is dedicated not to the glory of God or king, but to that of the human race." Frank also identified the presence of a small egg within every image included in The Red Book, explaining that "the egg starts to give off light and then to explode out."
Jung writes at one point in The Red Book, "There is only one way, and that is your way. You seek the path? I warn you away from my own. It can also be the wrong path for you. May each go his own way. I will be no savior, no lawgiver, no master teacher unto you. You are no longer little children. … May each seek out his own way. The way leads to mutual love in community. Men will come to see and feel the similarity and commonality of their ways." You can read the entirety of The Red Book as an ebook over at the Internet Archive. (via npr and independent)

Who Went Home on the Seventh Week of 'Dancing with the Stars'? [SPOILER, VIDEO]
Six couples danced Halloween-themed routines on Monday night, but one became a ghost during the elimination show. So who'll be haunting the dance floor from the sidelines from now on?
As always, one of the last two couples standing after the rest were declared safe was not necessarily in the bottom two.
One of them was Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus and — to the surprise of the studio audience — the other one was David Arquette and Kym Johnson.
And the audience was even more surprised when it was David and Kym who were shown the stage door. But David took it well.

About Sukhothai Restaurant
Stranger than paradise Take a peek through the window. Go on, we know you want to. The deep red restaurant inside glows with warm golden lamps and glittering statues. The Sukhothai franchise got so popular they had to open up shop in Northcote – and won't the boho crowd of High Street love this. Fresh contemporary Thai food is all the rage south of the equator at the moment, so Sukhothai have a definite demand to fill. The food is very reasonably priced, making this place just as popular with young 'uns as it is with the mature crowd. Whatever you feel like, they've got it, from traditional favourites like Pad Thai to soups, stir fries and curries. A Sukhothai banquet covers the best of these items and more. The definite highlight for us was the chef's recommendation 'Sukhothai Paradise' (yellow curry with pineapple, grapes, dried coconut, sultanas and your choice of meat) a delightfully strange and tangy dish. You've got to try it. So stop window shopping and book your table, you're gonna love it. Best dish: Sukhothai Paradise

AUBURN UNIVERSITY – Auburn University and the University of Alabama are collaborating with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for Alabama residents and this week united to complete a home in time for Christmas for a Lee County family.
Students and staff from both universities are working with homebuilders from Geordan Communities and staff from Lee County Habitat for Humanity to provide the finishing touches necessary to prepare the home for the family to move in before Christmas.
"Christmas is a time for family and homecoming; it is extraordinary to join in preparing this special house for its new family to come home to," said Ralph Foster, director of the Auburn University Office of Public Service.
The two institutions partnered with Habitat for Humanity to start the House United program in 2011.
"The students all share the common value of service: the University of Alabama does a tremendous amount of service work in their area; Auburn does a tremendous amount of service work. It's engrained in the student culture at both institutions, as it is at a lot of other universities across the state," said Foster. "So what better way to get together with your chief rival and do something together?"
The first build was scheduled to take place in Baldwin County, but after the devastating tornadoes in Tuscaloosa in April 2011, the decision was made to move the build to Tuscaloosa. Students, faculty, staff and alumni from both institutions came together to work on houses for two families in the Holt Community in Tuscaloosa County.
In 2012, a group of 39 made the trip from Auburn to Baldwin County for the House United build. Students from Auburn's Alternative Spring Break group also collaborated with the Office of Public Service for the project.
Volunteers from both universities said they chose to join the Christmastime project this year because they wanted to find a way to give back to their community.
"I'd always heard about Habitat and I was never actually able to get involved because of soccer, my busy schedule, and so my counselor sent me an email about House United," said Auburn University student Alyse Scott. "To give a woman something that she's always wanted, I think that's really important. Just knowing that she's going to be in a warm house with her family who she loves by Christmas, that's just really special. That's the season of giving if anything."
"It's the Christmas season, I wanted to give back and this sounded like a great way to come out, and especially be united with people I've never met for the same cause. It feels really nice," said Julia Adams, a student at the University of Alabama. "To be united in this cause is greater than any rivalry for sure."
Foster said that the experience is meaningful to him both as an Alabamian and career outreach worker.
"Personally, as a lifelong resident of Alabama, I'm concerned about the needs of our community. That's what university outreach is all about," Foster said. "It's the university extending its resources to the community to better the quality of life for all citizens in our state."

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC selected Brazilian striker Paulo Jr. with the 10th pick in Stage 2 of the 2012 Major League Soccer (MLS) Re-Entry Draft on Friday.
Whitecaps FC are now required to make a genuine offer to Paulo Jr. within the next seven days to secure his services for the 2013 season.
"He's a player that I've watched for quite a few years," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "We're interested to see if there's something we can work out with him because we think that he's a quick and dangerous player who can play wide or up front, but we would see him more potentially as a player that can play wide for us. So we've at least got the chance to negotiate with him and see where it goes."
Paulo Jr., 23, appeared in 36 regular season MLS matches (including 17 starts) and three MLS Cup playoff games for Real Salt Lake from 2010 to 2012, picking up four goals and six assists.
In 2012 the native of Teresina, Brazil, scored two goals and registered two assists in 22 appearances (12 of them starts). He also featured in both Western Conference semifinal matches against Seattle Sounders FC.
Last season the 5-foot-7 striker also spent time at North American Soccer League (NASL) outfit Fort Lauderdale Strikers on a short-term loan from July 17 to August 3, where he recorded one goal and one assist in three starts.
After starting out at Flamengo do Piaui and Ituano at the youth level, the Brazilian made the step up to the professional ranks with Ituano in 2008 before signing with United Soccer Leagues (USL) First Division club Miami FC (now known as Fort Lauderdale Strikers) in 2009, where he scored three goals and picked up three assists in 18 appearances.
In 2010, Paulo Jr. and Miami FC moved to the United States Soccer Federation Division-2 Pro League (USSF D-2). That season, the Brazilian started 18 of 22 matches and netted a team-high eight goals along with four assists. His efforts resulted in his inclusion in the USSF D-2 Pro League's Best XI for the year.
On September 9, 2010, Paulo Jr. joined RSL on loan and scored three goals in six appearances during the MLS regular season, CONCACAF Champions League, and MLS Cup Playoffs.
His successful loan spell paved the way for a loan extension with the Utah-based organization before the club signed him outright in February 2012.

Pyongyang should "refrain from engaging in any more hostile or provocative actions. They do nothing to advance the cause of peace on the Korean peninsula (or) in Northeast Asia," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
He said such hostile acts would "do nothing to help the North Korean people, many of whom are starving because of the predilection of the North Korean regime to spend money on weapons systems rather than on economic development."
Carney's comments came amid new speculation that North Korea could soon conduct a third nuclear test, possibly within two weeks, after firing a long-range rocket this month.
South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported on preparations for a test in the northeastern town of Punggye-ri, where the North carried out two previous nuclear blasts in 2006 and 2009.
A South Korean government official told AFP on April 8 on condition of anonymity that satellite images showed a new underground tunnel built at the nuclear test site besides two others where the previous tests were conducted.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta also cautioned Pyongyang, saying during a visit to Brazil on Tuesday that even though the rocket launch was a failure, it still amounted to a "provocation."
"We strongly urge North Korea not to engage ... in any dangerous provocation that would provide instability," Panetta told reporters in Brasilia.
On Monday, Carney had condemned bellicose North Korean behaviour after Pyongyang's military threatened to turn parts of Seoul to "ashes."
North Korea had warned of retaliation after the United States scrapped a deal for food aid over the rocket launch earlier this month by Pyongyang, the failure of which was an embarrassment for the regime of new leader Kim Jong-un.
Obama visited the demilitarised zone between the two Koreas last month and denounced the isolated and impoverished state as a nation which cannot make "anything of any use" and "doesn't work."

First Look Inside London Bankside Hotel
A new Autograph Collection Hotel, the Bankside Hotel, has just opened in London. We take a look inside this new design led hotel in the heart of the capital.
Just a stone?s throw from Tate Modern, British Film Institute and Borough Market, the 161-room hotel has airy interiors, a chic restaurant and bar, a lot of new commissioned work from emergent and established artists.
The glass building that houses Bankside is part of the One Blackfriars development from award-winning architect Ian Simpson. Its sleek exterior lines belie Lee?s more hand-hewn interiors. Throughout, textural surfaces are layered: honeycomb concrete, ribbed walnut, and tanned kid leathers, butcher block floors. Geometric Gio Ponti jigsaw tiles in black and blue flow from the floor to the bar, looming wooden room dividers separate spaces, pottery shelves are juxtaposed by stark-white vases, and curving sculptures and Cubist oil paintings are exhibited across teak cabinets. Read our guide to new luxury hotels in London
Dayna Lee of Los Angeles? Powerstrip Studio is the design visionary behind this new six-story, luxury boutique hotel for creative working professionalsand has subtly embedded the historical ethos of its SE1 surroundings within the aesthetic.

So I'm formulating my goals and plans for 2011 and there's one thing I'd like to accomplish but am going to need a bit of help with. I'd like to learn to think more clearly and logically, if that's at all possible.
I've been out of the religious BS for nearly ten years now but I still find it hard to think through various arguments from theists, take them apart and refute them (which I see happening here to great effect). Obviously, this is only one use of 'clear thinking' but it's the one that's been on my mind the most lately.
My first thought was to ask for book recommendations but that might be too limited. There could be films, courses, exercises, groups (Toastmasters?) or lots of other resources out there that hadn't occurred to me. So, do any of you atheist thinkers have any guidance to offer? Anything at all... I'll throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Views: 158
Do you frequent the internet?
I believe watching actual debates helped me more than anything.
Names to look for on you tube"
Christopher Hitchens (The supreme debater)
Richard Dawkins
Sam Harris
Victor Stenger
Daniel Dennett
Michel Shermer
Richard Carrier
Stephen Pinker
Peter Singer
Possibly hundreds of hours of the most entertaining theology shredding I can offer.
I think studying 'how' to think more logically is not as useful as watching the best logicians in action.
Also - as you watch the debates - take notes of words and terms you don't know - Sometimes the debaters like to throw in some latin and what not.
Hope that helps. :)
I'll also throw in Bart Ehrman.
He is a famed NT scholar. His videos and audio clips are close to perfection.
That should get you started.
I found that list by Nelson last night... That's one helluva list. I'm slowly going through it to see if I can pick out a handful to start with.
I didn't know about the e-book. Sweet!
Learning about logical fallacies in a college course really clarified why the Bible, and religion in general, fails. If I were you, I'd really pour over that link, and any books you can get your hands on about the theory of argumentation and Critical Thinking. You don't even have to know everything about Christianity to refute stupid arguments. "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so" is what we like to call circular reasoning... and I think this form of logical fallacy is especially annoying to us here on T|A ;) You cannot verify what the Bible says by comparing it to what the Bible says, as you know. There are a lot of "arguments" Christians make that feel wrong, but I didn't know that there are specific labels for each one! :)
Hope this helps a smidge...
I really like this topic, and desire this for myself as well - for any issue. How to be more clear in the factual and tangible reality that surrounds us all. This includes dwelling in thoughts of worry and what ifs - wasting time and potential with nonrealities.
I'd also like to be able to matter-of-factly discuss opposing opinions without feeling anger swell inside, but yet not avoid discussions because of "discomfort". It is becoming more important to me as I get older to be able to say, "I don't agree, and I don't share your beliefs" without concern whether the person now hates me or not. Religion (specifically Christianity) is a topic that incenses me, can't seem to discuss without words like "fucken" or "retarded".
Looks like I need to grow up.

Free Water Testing for Nitrates
The Bureau County Farm Bureau, has teamed up with Nutrient Stewardship of Northern Illinois to host free water testing open house days for private landowners and operators. Beginning in June, an open house from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. will be held each Friday at the Bureau County Farm Bureau, 535 Elm Place, in Princeton.
Tested water can be collected from field tiles, streams or ponds. The testing and results of water samples are for private land owner/operator use only. The water test is free, and confidential, no results will be saved. Results are simply a snapshot in time of nutrient levels and can vary greatly depending on the time of year, temperature, rainfall, and crop and in-field practices.
When collecting samples keep in mind that a measurement of flow (the volume of water leaving a site) would help determine the total nutrient loading into a body of water. Also, an additional measurement of acres being drained would help determine the pounds per acre leaving the field.
Sample Collection Instructions:
Sample containers should be clean and free of any residual chemicals or detergents.
Water samples need to be at least 8 ounces.
Samples should be taken as close to the testing time as possible (preferably within 48hrs).
Samples should be kept refrigerated if not being tested immediately.
For more information about the test and additional testing sites visit: http://www.illinoiscbmp.org/Water-Testing/or contact Bureau County Farm Bureau at 815-875-6468.


text: Can we move the default location for the configuration files for ispconfig to /etc/ispconfig? This would allow non-standard location installs of ispconfig if so needed however keeping configuration, and make it so the system uses one configuration file instead of 2 with the same data located in two different locations on a system. However, this would keep configuration in a more standard place on the system and the code will reference needed information there. Also, this would be an ideal location should an actual debian package be created to support the installation of ispconfig.

Jones et al [1998]] did not archive their proxy set as used. I requested this information from Jones this year and was refused, although he did send me two series (Lenca, Law Dome) not locatable anywhere in a public archive about a year ago. Here is some background on the proxies in Jones et al [1998] – 10 NH series and 7 SH series . I doubt that any of this information will be directly usable in my review of this study which is underway and so I'm posting it up.
Of the 17 proxies, 13 are used directly in MBH98-99, which does have an archive, and for one (Jacoby northern treeline composite), the 10 constituent series are used individually in MBH. Not used in MBH98-99 are 1 NH series (Jasper) and 2 SH series (Lenca, Law Dome) . So the two studies are remarkably non-independent in proxies. However, J98 does not use principal component methods and so any hockey-stick-ness of J98 is not a direct result of an oddity like PC methodology. I'm not going to get to methodology in this post.
Eleven (7 NH; 4 SH) of the 17 proxies are also used in Jones and Mann [2004] : C England; Tornetrask (Fenno); Polar Urals; Western USA (Briffa density); Jasper; Jacoby Northern Treeline; Crete (Fisher's Greenland dO18); GBR5 (Great Barrier Reef); Galapagos; New Caledonia and Lake Johnston (Tasmania). The standardizations were different, but, on a correlation basis, 7 series were identical (correlation>0.999): Jasper, C Eng, Briffa WUSA, Jacoby treeline, Fisher dO18, GBR5 and Galapagos; one was a new version similar to the older one: Tasmania (correlation : 0.978); one was a different version with moderate similarity: New Caledonia (correlation -0.84) and two were new versions with little similarity to the older versions: Tornetrask (correlation – 0.29) and Polar Urals (correlation- 0.19). I've not yet tracked the reasons for the big changes in the Tornetrask and Polar Urals editions. However, because of the obvious differences in versions, it made more sense to use the MBH archive as a base for replicating Jones et al [1998] data, than the Jones and Mann [2004] archive.
Of the 4 series not at the MBH98-99 archive, 2 series (Jasper, the Jacoby composite) are publicly archived at Briffa's website. Two series (Lenca, Law Dome) could not be located in the public domain. I obtained versions of these two series from Jones over a year ago.
Although there is no data archive for J98, there are plots of all the proxy series, which are shown in Figure 1 below. In addition, the WDCP archive for J98 lists NH and SH counts by years, which provides an additional control. Several differences arose in the above implementation.
The versions of the C England and C European series differ from the MBH versions, which were JJA series, which were truncated to start dates of 1730 (not 1659) and 1550 (not 1525) respectively. Mann et al. [Corrigendum 2004 ] attributed the truncation to Bradley and Jones [1993], where indeed truncated versions of the series are plotted (although the truncation is not reported in Bradley and Jones [1993] either). Non-truncated versions were at the MBH98 FTP site, but these were annual versions, which did not match when plotted up. There are original sources for both series. JJA versions were collated from original sources and ended up with a plausible match in both cases.
Some values for the Law Dome series are missing in the 19th century. I don't know the background for this. The data file provided by Jones on Law Dome had monthly readings. Some 19th century values are missing; a conversion to annual data using na.rm=TRUE yielded more 19th century annual values than observed in the archived count series. The NA values were manually adjusted to match the counts.
The SH count for 1990-1991 in the archives was 2, while the count in the dataset constructed here is only 1. The only possibility that I can think of is that J98 used a slighltydifferent Tasmania dataset than MBH98 (which ends in 1989). The NH count for 1983 in the archives is one higher than observed in this dataset.
Figure 1 compares the J98 graphs to my emulations. In general, the graphs of series from the MBH archive match pretty much exactly (other than the C England truncation), as do the Lenca and Law Dome versions obtained directly. These versions do NOT necessarily match archived versions (as discussed in MM03 for MBH98). For example, the three coral series used here are "grey" versions that differ from the archived version. I inquired on this in connection with MBH98 and the originator of the Great Barrier Reef series (Lough) said that she did not provide the data to Mann and surmised that it was a version provided to Ed Cook, presumably passed along to Jones and Mann.
The Jasper series from the Briffa archive looks like it may be a problem: it matches closely, but it does not appear to match exactly especially in the MWP. As will be seen, there are some replication problems in the MWP period of Jones et al [1998] and this may be a factor.
Figure 1. Left. Proxies from Jones et al [1998]; right – versions in replication dataset
When you look at the individual proxies, always a useful exercise, it's remarkable how few have hockey stick shapes and instructive to see which ones do. The most prominent hockey stick shapes are: the Jacoby treeline composite; Kameda melt; New Caledonia dO18; and to a small extent, Tasmania. Of these, only Tasmania goes into the MWP.
The key series for achieving a low MWP in the eventual reconstruction is the Polar Urals, where its distinctive very cold MWP drags down the J98 NH reconstruction in the MWP (which only has 3 series in the early 11th century). I've posted up a lot about Jacoby, where data mining issues ("a few good men") need to be closely examined. Tasmania is another Hockey Team data set (Cook).
In MM03, we talked a lot about the use of "grey" (usually obsolete) data versions in MBH98. Because of the commonality of data versions in J98, there is the same problem here. While most of my attention has been to the NH series, in passing, here are 3 versions of the New Caledonia dO18 series: the archived WDCP version (inverted); the MBH98 version (inverted) and the Jones and Mann [2004] version. You will see that the downspike in the archived version is earlier than the downspike in the MBH98 or JM04 versions. In this case, there is a difference between MBH98 and JM04 versions (which is not the case with the other coral series). The JM04 and MBH98 versions are identical for the other coral series, but which differ from the archived versions. The 18th century differences in these versions is disquieting.
What I can show right now and am working up in a presentation is that the hockey-stickness of J98 depends on the extension of the Polar Urals data beyond its range of confidence (and then relying on three incorrectly dated cores which I discussed earlier.) I'm trying to figure out how the impenetrable J98 confidence interval calculations were done in order to tie up this report.

If it is better at one thing then it will be worse at something else, most people appreciate that kite design these days is about finely balanced trade-offs NOT one kite being better than another.Dimitri M wrote:The difference from the INFINITY V2 vs the FAT LADY is that the INFINITY v2 turns faster and has better pop. But the power is piratically the same after testing them.
Now the INFINITY V3 is something different.

.... then many tube kites still will be ahead of FL 2013
Size does matter...to milk low end...or to be really powered in true 8kn (7-8-9) max wind speed
Zeeko Notus ULW 21 m2.......Core Riot XR2LW 19m2....Ozone Edge LW 19m2....Dyno 18m2......
....Cabrinha Crossbow LW 18m2
So it is better to compare that kite to all the smaller 17m2 kites out there.....like V2 or V3...etc
....to test the upwind speed ability...or simply low end planing on beam reach
So keep your SUP...Foilboard...Wide Raceboard with dagger fins at home.....
...and test side by side with all those bigger kites...and you might end up in 6th place

YES I surely meant ABILITY......Pump me up wrote:
But ... Supa... probably meant to say "ability to stay upwind" rather than "upwind ability"...?
Two different meanings.
"Ability to stay upwind" = kite generating enough power for the rider to not drift off downwind.
"Upwind ability" = kite's ability to go upwind. i.e. Kites with a shallower luff curve can point higher than kites with a deep luff curve.
