The Knicks were pretty flat tonight. There just isn't much to say. They didn't shoot well and the Bulls played like… well, the Bulls. Chicago defended and rebounded while the Knicks offense flailed, especially in the 2nd quarter where they scored a grand total of 10 points. Group the Knicks lack of shooting with some poor officiating and you have a big fat loss.
You can't win them all. In the big scheme of things, a 1-1 split with the Bulls isn't the worst thing in the world. However, the Knicks have some glaring issues that must be adressed. If you don't like negative writing, don't read this post. I've seen some things I don't like and I'm going to address them in this post.
Here are my notes from the game:
- Baron Davis is a JOKE of a starting point guard. This is getting ridiculous. We gave Baron a pass for his awful first month with the Knicks. He hadn't played, he was rusty, he needed time. Fine. He's had time. He's had opportunity. He sucks. He flat out sucks. Watching him fumble and stumble his way around the court is the most frustrating thing. Not only are Davis' skills diminishing, but so is his decision making. Some of Davis' decision making can only be accurately labeled as foolish, asinine and detrimental. I mean, how many times does he drive into triple teams and either throw the ball of Chandler's arm or shoot a complete brick? He's horrible. My eyes don't lie because he's horrible statistically as well. Davis is shooting a fine 30% for his last 5 games. He's averaging just 5.4 points per game and 4.9 assists on the season. He's completely and utterly useless and when he decides to go into Washinton General mode, he becomes a detriment to the team. Davis' pathetic 9.99 PER ranks 53rd in the league among point guards. In terms of PER, Davis rates out worse than Jannero Pargo, Bassy Telfair, Jamaal Tinsley and Brandon Knight. Unfortunately for the Knicks, Davis is New York's best active point guard…
- Why can't Toney Douglas do ANYTHING? I have no idea what happened to Douglas. He may have a shoulder problem or some personal stuff, but I don't care. Persevere man. Be a professional. Don't be Lamar Odom and make a joke of yourself. Toney Douglas was a pretty solid player last season. Sure, he's not a great point guard, but at least he was defending and shooting the ball well. In fact, he shot the ball mighty well last season. He's done 0 positive things so far this season. He has the 4th worst PER, 6.60, of any point guard in the NBA. Sadly, Bibby is even worse than that at 5.82. Anyways, Douglas was awful tonight. Even Mike Woodson called him out, basically saying he failed miserably to run the team decently. I agree with him. Toney Douglas entered the game at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. The Knicks proceeded to score 10 POINTS in the entire quarter. In 7 minutes of disgustingly bad play, Douglas was 0/3 shooting, dished 0 assists and was a -11 in +/-. He was utterly useless and he killed the momentum the Knicks had going into the second. Thanks for nothing, Toney.
- Oh JR, what the hell is wrong with you? Yea, you can dispute me a tiny bit on this one. He wasn't as awful tonight, 6/13 shooting 14 points, but he wasn't good and he hasn't been consistently productive with the Knicks. Without Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, the Knick offense must play more efficient and take better shots. Those are two concepts that JR Smith knows absolutely nothing about. Smith takes some of the worst shots I have ever seen, none worse than the ill advised 3 pointer he took with about 1:30 left in the game. The Knicks needed something on that possession to maybe keep hope alive, and Smith thought it would be a good idea to shoot a 30 footer while fading away with a guy in his face. I know that you take the "bad" with the "good" when you're dealing with JR Smith. The problem is that the Knicks rarely get any "good" from the guy. I do like JR, I really do, but he needs to start playing better. He's been consistently bad, which is not what the Knicks need.
- The Knicks still didn't rebound well tonight. Playing small ball against the Bulls has both bonuses and detriments. One bonus is that the Knicks can attack the defensive ineptitude of Carlos Boozer more easily. I demonstrated some of these bonuses yesterday in a post about Carmelo Anthony playing the 4. Lets talk about the negatives. With the small lineup, the Knicks have one less "big man" in the game. Carmelo Anthony is a big man, but he's not a "big man". Without the extra "big man" on the floor, the Knicks have one less big body to help rebound. Couple that with some lazy boxing out, and the Knicks got destroyed on the boards tonight. Again. Even in their Easter victory, the Knicks gave up 18 offensive rebounds. Tonight, they again gave up 18 offensive rebounds. This time, the Knicks were unable to overcome all the offensive boards and they lost largely because of them. I do like how the Knicks can match up with Chicago offensively, but I am deathly worried about the Knicks lack of strength rebounding the ball defensively. Chandler does it, 31 rebounds in the past 2 games, but they Knicks don't have any other dominant rebounders. This will be a problem moving forward, but the Knicks will just have to make up for it shooting the ball. I guess.
- Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler were both fantastic tonight. I'm in no mood for praising Knicks players, but these guys do deserve a bit. I thought Anthony was very good offensively and Chandler played well enough to win. Anthony's 29 points on an efficient 11/19 shooting kept the Knicks offense afloat throughout the game. Chandler's 15 rebounds were paramount in keeping the Knicks from being rebounded out of the building (sort of). My hat is off to these guys, while a select one of my fingers is up to everyone else on the team.
- Don't do this to me, Steve. Mr. Novak is 0/8 in the past two games. This is NOT the time for Novak to get in a shooting slump. It never is, but especially not now. The Knicks need their sharp shooter to contribute 9-15 points every game and right now, he's looking like a 6'10 Mike Bibby. Novak is a great shooter, so I'm not worried, but he better start hitting. If he has another game like this, then I will be very worried. If he has another game like this, you should be worried too.
- Upon request from our good friend @NewYorkDanm, I will not spare Bill Walker in my criticisms tonight. Sick 8.28 PER, Bill. That means you rank 73rd among all shooting guards. Why are you so useless? The only thing you can do is shoot 3's, but you're not good enough at it to offset the rest of your inept game. Actually, what am I talking about? You're not even good at hitting 3's this season. Your 32% 3 point shooting is pathetic. You're supposed to be a 3 point shooter. If not for that game in Miami, in which you were banking in 3's, you'd be shooting in the 20 percentile. THAT SUCKS. Your defense is pretty awful too. You move laterally like a god damn Snorlax! You have no quickness and you couldn't stay in front of me. I strongly dislike you, Bill Walker. I think you bring very little to the floor and I think you are a borderline NBA player at best. Sorry Billy, it is the truth. I applaud you for coming back from a knee injury, but I don't applaud your 39% shooting. To your credit, you're probably the best garbage time player in the league. You showcased that nicely tonight by driving the ball strongly to the hoop to pad your stats with 5 seconds left in the game. Way to go, Bill. You proved that you can get to the rim while the defense is looking for girls in the stands while picking their asses. You rock, Bill! Just kidding. You suck! Have a good one!

It's the "Road" to the Final Four for Illinois
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) – Illinois may have lost a chance to become
the first undefeated national champion since 1976 with its setback last
weekend, but the Illini appear to have an easy "Road" to the Final Four.
Illinois (32-1), which has been the top-ranked team in the polls for the past
14 weeks, earned the top seed in the Chicago bracket after capturing the Big
Ten Tournament title on Sunday with a 54-43 victory over Wisconsin.
"Big Ten [regular-season] champs, now tournament champs. We got one more to
win," said Illinois head coach Bruce Weber after capturing the Big Ten title
on Sunday.
The reward for the Illini was a three-week "Road" trip that will likely end up
in St. Louis. The Fighting Illini probably won't have to make a plane ride
should they continue to win, as they will play close to home in Indianapolis
— 125 miles from campus — for the first two rounds and play in their home
away from home of Chicago for the regionals.
Illinois won the Big Ten Tournament title at Chicago's United Center and the
Second City is just 135 miles north of Champaign.
The Fighting Illini are a top seed for the third time in their history, having
also earned No. 1 seeds in 1989 when they went to the Final Four and in 2001
when they lost in the regional final.
The Chicago bracket will tip off Thursday from Indianapolis with Illinois
facing Northeast Conference champ Fairleigh Dickinson (20-12) and Texas
(20-10) taking on WAC regular season champ Nevada (24-6) in the eight-nine
Also on Thursday in the Chicago region from Cleveland, fourth-seeded Boston
College (24-4), the Big East regular season co-champ, will square off with Ivy
League winner Penn (20-8) and fifth-seeded Alabama (24-7) will meet Horizon
League champ Wisconsin-Milwaukee (24-5).
The other half of the Chicago bracket will have first-round games on Friday in
Oklahoma City, giving second-seeded Oklahoma State a distinct advantage
against Southland winner Southeastern Louisiana (24-8). The other game Friday
in Oklahoma City has seventh-seeded Southern Illinois (26-7), the MVC regular
season champ, against St. Mary's-CA (25-8) of the West Coast Conference.
In Boise, Idaho on Thursday, Chicago bracket games feature third-seeded
Arizona (27-6), the Pac-10 regular season champ, against Big West tourney
winner Utah State (24-7) and sixth-seeded LSU (20-9) against UAB (21-10).
A possible regional semifinal in the Chicago bracket could pit Oklahoma State
against Arizona, with the winner possibly moving on to face Illinois in the
regional final.
That shouldn't be a problem for the Illini, who will have a majority of their
fans rooting them on in the Windy City. St. Louis and the Edward Jones Dome is
then just 174 miles away.

Release Date: August 27, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The zombie outbreak that has infected American popular culture will spread to the University at Buffalo this fall.
John Edgar Browning, an English adjunct professor, vampire expert and author of 12 books on the undead, will teach "A Cultural History of the Walking Dead," a seminar exploring the history and cultural impact of zombies.
Over 15 weeks, students will delve into the mystery of why zombies have recently been so dominant in books, films and television.
"Monsters are always popular, and vampires have really surged in the last five to six years, but we're now seeing a zombie version that's approaching its apex," says Browning, also an Arthur A. Schomburg Fellow and PhD candidate in the Department of Transnational Studies. "The craze is far from done, but it's definitely at its most powerful."
Browning designed the course after teaching a similar class, "Vampires and Zombies: Lifestyles of the Undead and (In)Famous," which examined both types of monsters. He decided to move zombies into the spotlight after realizing his students were more captivated by the flesh-starved dead.
The 50-minute zombie class will be taught once a week on Tuesdays as part of the Undergraduate Academies' Discover Seminar Program. The course, offered through the American Studies department, is full, but Browning will allow a few more registrants to enter.
As the class progresses, students will begin exploring the West African and Haitian Vodou roots of the zombie, and track the creatures' transformation in popular culture from magically possessed people forced to do the bidding of evil landowners, to masses of rabid corpses.
The seminar will examine primary texts that detail zombie sightings in Haiti, along with horror and science fiction writer Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend," a book Browning credits as the creator of the modern zombie craze.
Browning will place a heavy emphasis on film as well, and plans to show George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," a movie that he believes perfected the modern zombie.
"Horror films are cultural artifacts," says Browning. "When anthropologists want to study cultures, they look at their artwork, bones and houses. You can easily do the same a thousand years from now by looking at films."
Through movies, students can identify the cultural and political ideals of a period and uncover what scares us. Whether the films depict natural disasters, technology gone awry or deadly viruses, they give viewers a way to indirectly consider the problems of their time.
It's no coincidence zombies became popular around the same time as issues about gun control in the United States, says Browning. People have projected their fear of losing the ability to protect themselves onto attacks by zombie masses.
"The Walking Dead" is one of the most watched shows on television, and the film "World War Z" grossed over half a billion dollars at the box office. Both depict a zombie apocalypse where survivors rely on guns to protect themselves.
The rage has spilled beyond the big screen, as arms manufacturers now sell zombie-specific firearms and ammunition. Doomsday prepping, which involves preparing for a catastrophic event by stockpiling weapons and supplies, is a rising trend as well.
Although zombies are often portrayed in media as mindless, it is apparent these and other nightmarish creatures have much to teach us about ourselves, said Browning.
"Beyond serving as mere characters in horror films, monsters reveal the social fabric of how societies construct what is 'normal' at any given time," says Browning. "With the right training, students can use monsters to confront and challenge ideological assumptions about class, race, gender and sexuality, and unfix oppressive categories like these that precipitate marginalization."

Rumor: 4G LTE is 'good to go' for Apple's third-gen iPadYet another report surfaced on Monday to join the chorus of others who have indicated that Apple plans to add a high-speed 4G LTE wireless radio to its third-generation iPad.
Citing the same source who correctly told the site last month that Apple would hold an "iPad 3" event on March 7, iMore has said that Apple's next iPad will include 4G long-term evolution data connectivity. The site said that LTE in the new iPad is "good to go" and will be unveiled at this week's event.
The site also said it is "hearing" that the next iPad will ship with a quad-core processor. Recent reports have been split on whether the processor in the new iPad will be dual-core, like the current iPad 2, or quad-core.
As for 4G LTE, The Wall Street Journal first reported last month that Apple's third-generation iPad would feature a wireless radio compatible with the high-speed 4G networks of carriers Verizon and AT&T in the U.S. There has been no indication regarding compatibility with other LTE carriers around the world.
AT&T and Verizon are currently the only two operators in the U.S. that run LTE networks. Verizon's 4G network now reaches 200 million people, while AT&T, which began building out its LTE network later, covered 74 million people as of the end of 2011.
The next iPad is expected to resort to slower network technology, including 3G, when 4G LTE is not available. The iPad has offered built-in connectivity with AT&T since the first-generation model, while both AT&T and Verizon had their own iPad 2 models available from day one of last year.
The Journal's report came after Bloomberg claimed in January that the next iPad will feature 4G LTE. That same report also said it will feature a quad-core processor and a Retina Display that will have more pixels than many high-definition televisions.
Rumors of a 4G-compatible "iPad 3" have also gained steam after pictures of new LTE micro-SIM cards from AT&T emerged last month. Apple's current iPhone and 3G-capable iPad use micro-SIM cards.

One Synth Sample Spawns An Entire Tracker Compilation
All of the tracks on this adventurous chip music compilation began with a single sample.
That's the sound of the Monowave, a Moog clone originally envisioned as a bass synth.
Hexawe, a CC-BY label for Piggy Tracker releases, put out an open call for remixes. This group of talented musicians heeded the call, looping tiny sections of the monowave sample and sequencing these instruments using their portable game console of choice. The result is Monorave, an inspiring showcase of what's possible with remixed digital soundwaves.
This compilation is truly open source in that you can download the tracker DAT files yourself and tweak them. When you do, you'll find that each song has a folder containing all the samples used in the sequence, and many of the tracks draw all of their source material from that single monowave sample.

A petition from the campaign to
We demand that you release or retire all marine mammals in captivity. For the marine mammals that are not suitable candidates for release into the wild, we demand that you create a transition plan that would facilitate their readjustment to the wild or retire them into seapens.

Why do we put the planet's second smartest mammal in small aquarium tanks and treat them as puppets for entertainment? I need your help to free beautiful marine mammals trapped in captivity at SeaWorld locations across the planet. I do not feel marine mammal entertainment parks have any place in the 21st century.
We know the level of awareness these animals have. We know their social connections, their eating habits, and natural wild behaviors. You cannot breed natural instincts out of an animal in a handful of generations. These are incredibly social, intelligent beings that are being taken advantage of to make money. It is animal slavery, and it needs to be brought to the general public's attention. These beautiful animals should not be trapped in pens that are too small and worked until their last breath is taken and then thrown out like trash and replaced. Please sign the petition and join the campaign to free these orcas
On July 27, people across the globe in 21 locations will be protesting against marine mammal facilities. If you would like more information about the campaign, please visit the Empty the Tanks website: http://www.emptythetanksworldwide.com/

Targeted Traffic Versus Untargeted Traffic
Now that you have your website, you will be greatly involved in generating traffic to it. I am sure that you will be making use of the paid and free tactics to boost the traffic to your website or blog.
You would have no doubt come across all the websites that stated website traffic guaranteed or the elite technique to expand your website traffic! But have you thought about what is really guaranteed? Have you thought what guaranteed website visitors means? Or what is it that you can expect from such guarantees?
Well, I shall tell you what that means. When websites state "website traffic guaranteed" they mean that you can await a certain amount of website traffic to your website! If this is not achievable, then you can be certain to get back your cash or you can stop availing their services without having to pay any back-out penalty.
The guaranteed webtraffic service providers state that they will be able to generate a particular volume of internet traffic to your site in a given duration. They also state that they would use the most recent technology in building website traffic to your website.
If buildingwebsite traffic was so easy, then why will different websites have different ranks on the search engine listings? Each webmaster can easily sign up with a web traffic provider and get the maximum desired volume of traffic to their website!
Does that put an end to the problem of increasing traffic to your website? Does getting thousands of website visitors or maximum number of clicks or more page views define raised traffic to your website? Give this a thought 100 website visitors per day with 3 successful sales and 1000 website visitors for the same period without any sale. Which would you prefer?
I would definitely pick the former! The only guaranteed website traffic is the website traffic that guarantee sales. But no such service can guarantee you sales. They only guide people to your site. The sale that happens next is totally dependent on your website and your sales tactic!
I strongly believe that a profitable sale can be made from targeted traffic that you have earned from your own efforts. This is because, once you set out to earn traffic to your website, you will know where to start and what category of audience to target.
You will be seeking targeted website traffic. The online marketing tactic you use to increase the traffic to your website is absolutely dependent on the success of your online business that is a result of your experience in the field and your ongoing relationship with your customers. The essence principle of online business marketing is generating targeted traffic.
Converting website traffic into sales determines the profit you have made through your online business. If you concentrate only on generating untargeted traffic to your internet site, you will lose out on your business, and if you do not invest time in increasing targeted traffic to your website, you will lose out the opportunity to attract buyers. Hence it is very essential that devote much more time to getting targeted traffic.
That is you generate the right traffic to your website that will more than likely guarantee sales for your online business. Get involved in forums where people discuss products and services. Observe, learn and publicize your company in these places, in a subtile manner though.
Start sharing valuable information with internet users via blogs. The more you contribute to knowledge sharing, the more you are perceived to be a subject matter expert and the more faith they will have in your products or services.

The Village Public Safety Officer Program began in the late 1970's as a means of providing rural Alaskan communities with needed public safety services at the local level. The program was created to reduce the loss of life due to fires, drowning, lost person, and the lack of immediate emergency medical assistance in rural communities.
The Village Public Safety Officer Program was designed to train and employ individuals residing in the village as first responders to public safety emergencies such as search and rescue, fire protection, emergency medical assistance, crime prevention and basic law enforcement. The presence of these officers has had a significant impact on improving the quality of life in the participating villages. As a result, the Village Public Safety Officers (VPSO) are generally the first to respond to many calls for help from community members; hence their motto:

"Bread Bible" Whole Wheat Walnut Raisin Bread
In continuing my mission to bake my way through The Bread Bible, I had the opportunity to try the recipe for Whole Wheat Walnut Raisin Bread. I was a bit worried it would be a bit advanced for my skill level, but I was baking it for my dad, who needed to transition to whole wheat bread to aid in his recovery from intestinal surgery.
The first thing that made me nervous was plumping the raisins, something I had never done before. But, a quick Google search led me to completely cover them in boiling water and set the timer for an hour as I worked on the dough. I drained them in a collander and then on a papertowel, trying to get them as dry as possible, but now I'm wondering if one shouldn't keep them a little moist so the finished loaf doesn't dry out....? At any rate, I hand mixed them with the walnuts and set aside.
I found the dough to be pretty easy to knead and not nearly as nubby as I thought it would be. However, it did seem to be rising very slowly.
Since the formulae called for a two- to two-and-a-half rise to double in bulk as opposed to the usual hour, I assumed this was normal. At any rate, the dough eventually reached the doubled point, a little over two hours after being set to rise.
This is where some mild difficulty began. The first fill-and-roll went fine.
The second, not so much.
I had a hard time keeping all the walnut pieces and raisins in the dough, though eventually I got there.
I then cut the dough into three pieces, but (and I've already tried this recipe again), the middle piece inevitably ends up with far more filling. And, much to my disappointment and frustration, the dough began to tear over the filling in the middle boule:
I wasn't sure if this was ok or not—on the one hand, I'd certainly seen boules like that in stores and whatnot, but on the other hand, the other boules felt more sturdy. Still, after about forty minutes of futzing around with it, I decided to just let the three boules sit for their second rising and learn by doing when the time came.
Scoring them also proved to be a bit challenging.
When they did come out of the oven, they came out really, really dark. I thought they were burnt, but they ended up tasting ok.
The second time I tried this formulae, I moved the oven rack (on which I have a square stone) to the second-to-the-bottom place, and that seems to have solved the problem. I'm wondering if I shouldn't leave it there for my other loaves. That being said, sure enough the raisins that were poking out of the middle were burnt and fell off.
Fortunately, the rest of the filling stayed within the loaf, even after slicing. Since this was my first time baking a yeast bread with filling, I counted this as a success.
I was, however, concerned about a small moist streak you can see on the bottom right-hand side. It didn't effect the taste any, and the texture wasn't noticably different, but all the same inconsistency worried me.

Radiation Schedule in Companion Animals
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have an 8 year-old labrador who was recently diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. The surgeon removed all that he could, but could not remove all of it. I am taking her for radiation therapy next week. The more I read about it, [it seems that] most physicians would give her radiation 3 days a week. This particular vet will give her 19 treatments, 5 days a week. The things I have read said 3 days a week is done so the dog can rest in between treatments. I would welcome any comments you can give on this. I am concerned that 5 days in a row would be too much?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
That's a good question. The short answer is that most veterinary facilities have switched over to a 5 day-per-week radiation schedule, which is the same as is done in humans. This leaves Saturdays and Sundays for rest. Veterinary anesthesia has improved significantly over the years, and thus most patients tolerate daily treatments well.

Asante's Two Goals Lead ODU Over Tech In 2-0 Exhibition Win
By ODU Athletics
Aug. 16, 2011
NORFOLK, VA--Sophomore midfielder Gideon Asante (Sunyani, Ghana) scored two goals, one in each half to lead the Monarchs of Old Dominion to a 2-0 pre-season exhibition win over Virginia Tech. ODU is pre-season ranked 26th nationally by College Soccer News.
Asante's first goal came six minutes into the match on an assist from junior forward Jordan LeBlanc (Haverford, PA.) as he broke free from about eight yards out.
Asante, last year's freshman All-American and All-CAA selection's second goal came after a failed Virginia Tech clear where he picked off the pass, beat the defender and shot it pass the keeper.
ODU dominated the match, outshooting the Hokies, 17-6 overall and 8-2 in shots on goal. The Monarchs used two keepers, Michael Roura (Middletown, NJ.) and Victor Francoz (Fleurieu Sur Saone, France). Both had a save each.
Asante led ODU with six shots, while Tim Hopkinson and Jordan LeBlanc each had three shot attempts.
The Monarchs return to action when they travel to Washington, DC for an exhibition match against George Washington, Sunday at 5 p.m. ODU opens the regular season on Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. when they host Navy.

What type of support/format do you use to store and diffuse your game design documentation? Wiki? Doc files? Files in Repository? Shared folder? Google Doc?
Please provide pros and cons for each one.
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm using Google Docs because all I really need is a text editor that's online. I can collaborate with people online with relative ease and I know my information is secure there in case my computer crashes.
Another option worth looking at is using Dropbox. Drop a Word document in there and you instantly have a collaborative environment with version control.
(* We used a wiki for one project and designers were always tempted to go in and 'improve' parts of it, even on features that had been signed off and sent to be coded up. Then when QA got to testing the feature, it would be a nightmare because often the design would suggest something different to what was actually coded, and it would take a fair bit of frustrating work to find out which happened first, the change to the design or the code.)
Text Files
On my current project, I'm using simple plain-text files in my "Docs" folder of the project, stored in the repository beside the code.
It's not something you want to rely for any kind of team work, but the power of text files in the repo to let you get right to work should not be underestimated for the single-developer. Currently I use one document as a kind of overview/master-planner that contains the general design, a second document that acts as a ToDo-list of specific things the game needs, a third document as a loose bug tracker, and ancillary documents to elaborate on "feature x" as needed.
Don't use a document format/editor that's not multi-user capable (eg. MS Word, Open Office Writer). Only one person can edit the doc, and even with source control it's too easy to start working on an outdated version, and by saving that you basically destroy everything the other user(s) have done since the last time that user has updated his version of the document.
Shared folders are by far the worst solution and an absolute no go for any kind of asset that's supposed to be worked on collaboratively. You can never be sure that someone else is working on that file right now, or will do so in the next couple minutes. You also don't have change tracking and can't revert back to a previous version in case of a disaster (human error or human stupidity or human neglect).
Preferably use a Wiki, but one that's user friendly and is truely WYSIWYG. I personally swear by Confluence, which is also used in bigger game dev studios and is only $10 for up to 10 users and unlimited viewers.
Most other wikis (MediaWiki, TikiWiki, etc.) have the downside that they have a steep learning curve or are even practically unusable by non-technical personnel. Not that they couldn't learn it but they (rightfully) don't accept using a document system that's basically requiring you to write code like HTML. This is my pet peeve: Wikis that say they are WYSIWYG but all they do is insert the syntax into the text you're writing. That's not WYSIWYG!
The guideline for using a wiki is to put every heading on a seperate page, so you can cut the document into many manageable parts. Confluence offers features with which you can then aggregate all those subpages back into a single site or document, which can be exported to PDF for example.
I think One Note is a good option. It is something like a Wiki but with lots of rich text editing support. In addition to the standard desktop client which comes with Office there is a web based version with the Office Live suite. Honestly, I think the web based version, which is free, should be enough for most needs and when combined with Skydrive you have a pretty good system to collaborate on a live document.
For one of my open-source projects, we've been using (gasp) SharePoint to store documents and media. Managing users and permissions is pretty straightforward, and it has support for full version history. We've had the SharePoint site for about four years now, so there may very well be better options nowadays. However, it has worked out pretty well for us. It's hosted by a third party (for around $20/month), so after the initial setup there has been virtually no maintenance on our part. In addition to supporting document and image libraries, SharePoint has Wiki support, though I'm not sure how well it measures up against the more popular Wiki engines.

Newseum Opens Exhibit Featuring MLK Birmingham, Ala., JAILED IN BIRMINGHAM
To celebrate the beginning of Black History Month, today the Newseum opens "Jailed in Birmingham," a new exhibit featuring a casting of the original jail cell door behind which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was confined after his April 1963 arrest for leading nonviolent protests in Birmingham, Ala. It was in this cell that the civil rights leader penned his historic letter defending civil disobedience. The "Letter From Birmingham Jail," written in response to a statement by a group of eight white Alabama clergymen, includes the now-famous quote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
The door on display is a bronze casting made from the original door to King's cell in the Birmingham city jail. The exhibit also features one of the first publications of the letter, a 1963 pamphlet published by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker group. The exhibit is on display in the Newseum's News Corporation News History Gallery.
On Saturday, Feb. 2, at 2:30 p.m., Chris Jenkins, editor of The RootDC, and award-winning video journalist Garrett Hubbard will discuss King's legacy during a special Inside Media program. The two collaborated on a Washington Post video series, "BrotherSpeak," which explores the experiences of black men in America.

Ready for the clone wars? On July 5th, 1996, Dolly the sheep was born. Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. Dolly lived her entire life at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. She had six lambs of her own, and lived to the age of six.
ET phone home… On July 6th, 2003, a message was sent out to five different stars. The message, Cosmic Call 2, was broadcasted from Eupatoria, a 70-meter radar. The message was sent to the stars Hip 4872, HD 245409, 55 Cancri, HD 10307, and 47 Ursae Majoris. The message should reach its destination in 2036, 2040, 2044, 2044, and 2049 respectively. Talk about your long distance phone calls.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. On July 10, 1925, in Dayton, Tennessee, the Scopes Trial began. John T. Scopes, a high school teacher, was accused of teaching evolution in the classroom in violation of Tennessee law.

The law, which passed in January of 1925, stated that it was illegal for anyone to teach anything but the story of Divine Creation of man. After an eight day trial, Scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution and fined 100 dollars (approximately 1,165 dollars in today's currency.)
On July 10, 1997, London scientists report their DNA analysis of a Neandertal skeleton, nicknamed African Eve, found in modern day Ethiopia. The results place her life at roughly 140,000 years ago, which supports the Out of Africa Theory. This theory states that all our ancestors originally came from Africa. An alternative theory is the Multiregional Origin Theory, which states that our ancestors developed independantly in different regions of the world.

Sweden is a important market for whiskies in general and malts more specifically. Edrington, through their marketing division – Maxxium, arranged last year a very special trip for a few Swedes (and one or two Norwegians I think) – and doing it again this year. Last time it was to Orkney and Highland Park, while this time it's off to Speyside and The Macallan Distillery.
But first a bit of a recap: The first trip was called "Return of the Vikings" and included a specially chartered flight from Stockholm to Orkney (with a whisky tasting en route), two nights accomodation, dinners, tours, lots of whisky and a "very speical" bottling of Highland Park called – "Return of the Vikings". All that cost a mere €1200. Participants felt a bit cheated a few months later when the Highland Park Ambassador's Cask #4 was released, as it was the same cask – though this cost a mere £225 (€284 with the rate at that time). This created a bit of noise which resultet in the participants receiving a further bottle (35cl) called "Return of the Vikings 2" – this time with a expressed guarantee that the rest of the cast would not be bottled as a single cask bottling.
This brings us onto this year's trip.

In the subject of the ACI, the ($dn) macro is replaced by the entire substring that matches in the target. For example:
The subject becomes this:
groupdn="ldap:///cn=DomainAdmins,ou=Groups, dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedCompany1,dc=example,dc=com"
After the macro has been expanded, Directory Server evaluates the ACI following the normal process to determine whether access is granted.
Unlike a standard ACI, an ACI that uses macro substitution does not necessarily grant access to the child of the targeted entry. This is because when the child DN is the target, the substitution might not create a valid DN in the subject string.

Does a Calf Cry?
Does a Calf Cry?
"To me, the term 'guardian' is a term of endearment and responsibility. If our language changes, usually action follows." - Elliot Katz
Consider the two-way love affair between you and your dog, cat, or parakeet. Does the bird sing when you enter the room? Will the cat brush up against your leg, purring with her pleasure in pleasing you? Does your dog whimper when sad, or jump with joy, his tail unable to contain the excitement in seeing you come home after being away from your presence for just twenty minutes?
Do animals feel? Do pigs smell blood and hear death squeals from those who are slaughtered before them? Do calves cry when separated from their mothers? Do animals feel pain? Read the poem below and imagine the non-human's perspective.
The House Dog's Grave Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now Run with you in the evenings along the shore, Except in a kind of dream; and you, If you dream a moment, You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door Where I used to scratch to go out or in, And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do On the warm stone, Nor at the foot of your bed; no, All the nights through I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet Outside your window where firelight so often plays, And where you sit to read, And I fear often grieving for me. Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard To think of you ever dying. A little dog would get tired, living so long. I hope that when you are lying Under the ground like me your lives will appear As good and joyful as mine. No, dears, that's too much hope: You are not so well cared for as I have been. And never have known the passionate undivided Fidelities that I knew. Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided... But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend. I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures To the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.
If you are the master of your home and your emotions, read this poem as tribute to the creature who was your companion. Instead of hugging a tree, hug a vegetarian. These strange people have the wisdom to recognize that animals have emotions similar to ours. They choose not to eat creatures who feel pain.
Today's column is for all of the guardian animals who have lost their human friends this year. Few people consider animal feelings when their best friend passes on.
Today's column is for all
of the guardian humans who have lost their animal friends this year. The
loss of a companion animal can be a deep pain which never goes away.
How can any human who has ever had such a bond with one animal, be it
dog or cat, or bird, eat the arms and legs and digest the pain of another
mammal? In our infinite arrogance and lack of understanding, dare we
chew upon the Southern fried wing of an angel, savoring the marrow?

I'd love the aroma of this cooking away in my kitchen. Wonderful recipe, Claudia~ReplyDelete
Dear Claudia, I love this soup. It is a perfect dish for the fall. Blessings dear. Catherine xoReplyDelete
Wow, Claudia..."great minds think alike.' I just made a huge crock pot cannelini bean soup a few days ago. Didn't even think about photographing it.

Balz book: Christie considered 2012
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie thought far more seriously about jumping into the 2012 presidential race — and was under intense pressure to do so — than previously known, according to a new book about the campaign, "Collision 2012."
In colorful detail, Christie recalls for the author, Dan Balz, chief correspondent of The Washington Post, the full court press he received throughout the summer of 2011. It came at a a time when many in the establishment had already committed to Mitt Romney, clearly signaling a level of dissatisfaction with the field.
Story Continued Below
"Craziness," Christie recalled, "Unsolicited phone calls from all over the country. … I was in this job six, eight nine months and I just was shocked. … I remember thinking, 'This is a just completely surreal and not what I expected,' and little did I know … that it would get a lot crazier."
( PHOTOS: Chris Christie's career)
The book, which will be on sale Aug. 6 and is catnip for political junkies, also sheds new light on a complex "pay-to-play" regulatory rule that caused Romney to pass over the New Jersey governor as his running mate. Under the SEC regulation, candidates cannot accept campaign money from financial institutions doing business in their states.
In effect, Romney would have had to forgo Wall Street money unless Christie resigned as governor, which Christie says he never considered. This raises questions about future potential fundraising issues for Christie, a top GOP prospect for president in 2016.
But long before those VP discussions, Romney had a larger issue he may not have known about: Money men, operatives, and party leaders who should have been for him in 2011 were sufficiently unenthusiastic to court a one-term governor.
According to Christie, among those who prevailed upon him or simply called him, were former President George W. Bush, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, Nancy Reagan and David Koch, the businessman and activist who spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to defeat Barack Obama.
Christie's wife, Mary Pat, was stunned to pick up her phone at work one day to find Barbara Bush on the other end. The plucky former first lady only wanted to reassure Mary Pat that raising children in the White House was doable and a positive.
Through it all, Christie held firm publicly that he was not interested, but tells Balz of one pivotal event that forced him to rethink his position.
Home Depot founder Ken Langone — a wealthy GOP contributor and player — invited Christie to come meet with "a small group" of friends who would talk to the governor about what he should do for the country.

Pocono Mountain School District's first run at a proposed budget for the 2013-14 school year yielded no tax increase and a balanced, $207.5 million budget — a far cry from last year's preliminary budget.
Pocono Mountain School District's first run at a proposed budget for the 2013-14 school year yielded no tax increase and a balanced, $207.5 million budget — a far cry from last year's preliminary budget.
However, officials acknowledge there's still more work to be done.
District Superintendent Elizabeth Robison said she didn't have details at Tuesday night's meeting about whether the district would have to go through a third round of layoffs.
In the last two years, the district has laid off about 440 employees. She said she would have more specifics at a Feb. 6 school board meeting.
Last year, the first shot at the budget contained a 4.3 percent property tax increase and a $16 million budget shortfall. By the time the budget was adopted in June, it had no tax increase and had cut $22 million in expenses.
The budget process isn't over, however. District CFO Joseph Colozza said he purposely left a number of items out of the budget to meet the no-tax-increase goal.
Included in that list is $1.65 million worth of capital improvements the district has deemed necessary, but don't fit in the current budget's configuration.
The big-ticket item missing is the $1.5 million third phase of a roof project at the East High School in Swiftwater. Board members agreed the project is vitally important and likely needs to be done in the next year.
There is also $1.84 million earmarked for the budget reserve, which equals about two mills of property tax. In 2011, the board made a commitment to put away at least three mills of property tax in this budget, which means another $930,265 would have to be devoted to the reserve.
Colozza also noted the current budget has about $1.3 million of other necessary funds that aren't included, like more than $400,000 for computer equipment and $250,000 for a capital reserve fund.
Ricky Smith, a board member since 1994, said while the zero tax increase is good, it could still be better.
"This fairly represents, for the first time I can remember in a long time, a budget equal to last year," he said. "But our enrollment is still going down, I'd like to see a 2-mill decrease. There is still some fine-tuning that needs to be done."

Everything we do is to stop men dying too young
Everything we do is to stop men dying too young
The state of men's health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier. Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. Three quarters of suicides are men. Poor mental health leads to half a million men taking their own life every year. That's one every minute.

You're riding on the wrong side of the road!
Oh wait, you're in the United Kingdom...
My bad.
Nice Report.
Scotland has some of the finest motorcycle roads on the planet, when the sun is out. Riding on Skye should be on everyones list of rides to do. Great images.
very nice wish i was riding there!

Damn road works! ..we filtered as far as we could but got stuck behind a truck.

Seriously, is that the camera you are using?
I was going to get an entry level DSLR, shots are awesome!
How do you do that speed shot? looks like everything's moving...
Thanks ...so do I ...currently waiting for the sub-zero temps and snow to go! Only a few weeks to go before we are back out again. Can't wait!
The bridge at Killin
Sarah on the A81 near Aberfoyle
Yes, that is the camera... I know nothing about photography Lol!. If I had a fancy camera I would probably mess up, - getting the settings wrong. So I just use the little Canon and have it set on 'auto' ... I hold the camera in my left hand and just click away. It's a 'numbers game' - I get a lot of crap shots too but I just delete those. That's the great thing about digital - costs nothing to reel off loads of pics. Not like the old days when you had to pay for developing.
Wonderful pics!!!
Thanks for the castles and road pics!!!
Stewart on his Tricolore 1098

Enjoyed your photos. Looks like some great countryside for riding.
I don't remember any of that from our trip to Scotland back when! Then again, we were in a 73 Dodge van with a MB camper top on it and Dad prolly didn't go on the back roads!
Looks like an awesome place to ride. Too bad about the Poms!

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University softball team split a league doubleheader to wrap up its final home action of the 2012 campaign on Sunday (April 22) against Saginaw Valley State at the FSU Softball Field in Big Rapids.
The Bulldogs captured a 3-1 victory in game one of the rescheduled Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) doubleheader. However, SVSU responded by pulling out a 13-12 victory in 10 innings during the second game.
FSU finished the weekend winning three of four outings against the Cardinals to improve to 26-22 overall and 17-13 in GLIAC play. Saginaw Valley State wrapped up the weekend with a 19-25 mark to go with a 12-18 conference record.
The Bulldogs scored all three of their runs in the opener in the bottom of the second inning. SVSU managed a single run in the fourth, but could get no closer as the Bulldogs recorded the victory. Overall, FSU had only three hits in the opener compared to six for the Cardinals, but SVSU also had two errors in the field.
Amy Dunleavy earned the win in game one by giving up only a single run in seven innings of work. She had two strikeouts and a single walk. In comparison, Alexa Gehris tossed all six frames for the Cardinals and allowed three runs on three hits with both three walks and three strikeouts.
Dunleavy, senior Chelsea Morris and second baseman Lainee Clay all had one hit each in the first game for the Bulldogs. Clay and seniors Stephanie Dusendang along with Makenzi Peterson all drove in one run. Clay registered her 16th double of the year for the Bulldogs' lone extra-base hit.
Both teams increased the offensive production in game two as each squad tallied 18 hits apiece in the nearly three-hour affair.
After SVSU took a 2-0 lead following the first inning, the Bulldogs answered with five runs in the top of the second. However, Saginaw Valley State responded back with two in the fourth and it was back and forth the rest of the way.
Ferris State appeared to be in control after a fvie-run fifth inning, but SVSU followed with three runs in the bottom of the inning to tie the game up at 11 apiece. SVSU scored the go-ahead run in the sixth before Ferris forced extra innings as Peterson scored off a Cardinal error in the seventh.
Neither team was able to score in the eighth or ninth inning. FSU loaded the bases in the ninth and had two aboard in the 10th, but couldn't come up with a run. Finally, in the bottom of the 10th, SVSU took advantage of the international runner rule. Amanda Kimes was placed on second, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and proceeded to score the winning run on an RBI single up the middle from Jordan Randall.
The Bulldogs utilized four different pitchers in the second game as Dana Bowler, Cara DeLange, Emily Carlson and Dunleavy combined for 10 strikeouts and eight walks. Bowler threw three and two-thirds innings with five strikeouts while Carlson led the way with four and two-thirds innings of work. She struck out seven and allowed only a single run.
Gehrls picked up the win for the Cardinals by throwing five and two-thirds innings while giving up six hits and a single run. She was one of three SVSU pitchers to see action as the Cardinals' trio combined for six strikeouts and eight walks.
The Bulldogs were paced at the plate by Dunleavy's four RBI's. Morgan Kramerich tallied four hits while Morris had three. Additionally, Kramerich drove in three runs. Ferris State received home runs from Dunleavy and Morris along with triples from Kramerich, Dusendang and Liz Hamming. Both Peterson and Lindsey Pettit doubled for FSU.
On the Saginaw Valley State side, Natalie Wellman homered and had three RBI's on two hits. Jenna Holmes compiled a five-hit game with four RBI's with Lindsay Hayward posted three hits and two runs batted in.
Ferris State wraps up league regular-season action on the road Tuesday (April 24) as the Bulldogs visit Lake Superior State for a twinbill in Sault Ste. Marie beginning at 3 p.m. (ET).
FSU has also officially clinched a berth in the 2012 GLIAC Tournament that will take place next weekend (April 27-29) in Findlay, Ohio.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Trace Adkins kicked off his summer last week at an iHeartRadio event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C. Right before he took the stage, he told me what summers mean to him these days.
"For anybody that does what I do for a living, summer is the meat of our year. That's really when we go to work, with all the fairs and festivals and huge outdoor events. It's our busiest time of the year," he said. "Has been for the past 17 years or so."
He's right. He already has about 30 tour stops on his schedule between now and Labor Day. But a couple of decades ago, before Adkins was a country star and before his breakout single "Every Light in the House Is On," his summers were a lot less busy and a little more carefree.
"No responsibilities, partying and going to the lake," he told me were his favorite parts. "I still enjoy that stuff. I just don't have much time to do it."
Now, he looks forward to the summer days when his kids can join him on tour. "My kids come out on the road with me sometimes, when I have a string of fairs or something. They'll come out, and then they think that dad eats corn dogs and rides Ferris wheels all day," Adkins said. "Like that's what I do for a living."
