DissidenceJuly 27, 2004
François Briatte has compiled a rather large-ish survey comparing 10 web sites selected from his daily reads. The findings are interesting from a statistical point of view, but more so because of the various dissidence from the perceived 'norm'.
After François emailed those of us he had surveyed, it was suggested that it might prove even more interesting to have us each explain our personal reasons for each of our own results. While some of the 25 questions asked feel a little arbitrary, and I could probably think of 25 more equally valid questions, the questions asked cover enough ground that it serves as a perfect starting point for this type of discussion.
So to each question a reason for differing if applicable, and general commentary if not.
- Are links underlined? (80% do) (I do)
Though Nielsen recently embraced colours beyond blue for links, he still says they should be underlined. This is a generally sound principle; I still get frustrated trying to click on non-linked underlined text, so it's ingrained at this point. Underlining links is an easy usability win.
However, there are situations where underlines are problematic; in a text-dense page where every third word is a link, they only contribute to the clutter. Situations like these may call for a re-thinking of the way the information is being presented, but sometimes it makes more sense to turn off underlining. It all depends on the context.
- Are hovered links underlined? (80% do) (I don't)
François is mistaken in my result on this particular point — I don't leave underlines on hovered links. Since I highlight the whole thing with a background color, leaving them on didn't make much sense or look too hot.
Though it doesn't make much sense to me to turn off the underline on hover in most cases, a change of some sort is a good thing to indicate the link is clickable. This is safely a stylistic matter, so it feels like one of the more arbitrary questions.
- Do visited links differentiate? (80% do) (I do)
- Common knowledge says that visited links should be visually different than "fresh" links. There are situations where this isn't applicable (web applications don't require them, and in some cases are even detrimental to the usability of the application) but for the regular, content- and document-based web, it's a must.
- Is the layout in fixed width? (60% do) (I don't)
Interesting that the survey was done now, as I recently went from a fixed-width design to a liquid layout (and other sites surveyed did the opposite). 60% is close enough to half, so the opinion is still clearly divided.
One of these days I'll get around to writing the big "Defense of Fixed Width" article I've been meaning to do for ages.
- Is there a search box on the page? (50% split) (I don't)
- This is another must. Content-driven sites must have search, end of question. That I don't is inexcusable, and explained only by this: it's on the list of things to do. (But then, it's been on there for ages, so that's no indication of when it will materialize)
- Is there a right sidebar? (70% do) (I do)
The left side of a page is a more important area (for Westerners anyway) since we read left to right. Left is seen as dominant, right as diminutive. The content of this site is placed front and center, the incidentals and etcetera are placed on the right.
- Is there a left sidebar? (90% don't) (I don't)
- It's not a three-column layout, so I don't have a need for a second sidebar.
- Is there a top clickable logo? (100% do) (I do)
- The clickable logo leading back to the home page is more or less expected these days. No reason to break the mold, although I realize this site's current design has a pretty sketchy definition of 'clickable area'.
- Is there a repetitive footer? (100% do) (I do)
- 'Repetitive' seems to be an unqualified term; it appears the goal was simply establishing if footers were used in web design. Everyone has one, so there's not much more to take away from this question than a simple, "yes, they're used in web design."
- Is the main text on white background? (80% do) (I do)
I recently changed from a blue background, so this is a matter of timing. A coloured background is far more compelling, but white is more practical.
Not only does black text on a white background offer maximum contrast, but working with imagery is easier in the long run. Placing images with transparency means dithering to a specific colour, and when the redesign occurs two months, six months, three years down the road, you're stuck with legacy images that you either retire or spend time and money converting to the new colour.
While it's possible to avoid the issue by using only boxy and framed images, it's usually a better strategy (though more boring) to stick to the white that 90% of the web uses already anyway.
- Is the main text sans-serif? (90% do) (I do)
Sans-serif is easier to read on-screen. Serifs are subtle, high-resolution letterform hints that emphasize the difference between each letter for better legibility and faster reading. It's impossible to adequately express the subtlety in pixels, which makes on-screen serifs clunky and harder to read. Sans-serif is the only choice short of 24px body copy or 200dpi displays, neither of which I'm planning on designing for in the near future.
- Is the DOCTYPE Strict? (60% do) (I do)
- There are reasons for choosing HTML over XHTML, most of which are part of a pedantic debate that will inevitably flare up in the comments. (It always does.) The question, though, is regardless of which you choose, are you using the Strict or Transitional DOCTYPE? Since Strict further encourages the separation of structure and presentation (XHTML Transitional is loaded with presentational elements) I chose it.
- Do they use accesskeys? (80% don't) (I don't)
- I've already documented my reasons against using accesskeys. I've started to reconsider, not in light of the advantages they offer those they were meant for, but because I can potentially see them as a usability enhancement for everyone else. Which feels like the wrong reason to implement them, thus explaining why I haven't yet.
- Do they use 'Steal these' buttons? (80% don't) (I don't)
- Ugh. Please, no.
- Is there a header graphic? (70% do) (I do)
- It's a pretty obvious way of branding a site. Not to say it's the only way, as Jon Hicks has a well-distinguished visual identity but no header. It works for me.
- Is the copyright explicit? (90% do) (I do)
I used to have a Creative Commons license on this site, but in dealing with Zen Garden theft I've come to the conclusion that Creative Commons still leaves too many holes open. These aren't merely 'he took my work, I wish he wouldn't' issues, these are liability issues that I believe too dangerous to be left unresolved.
So the license was changed to an 'All Rights Reserved' copyright notice. This isn't to say I'm a lawsuit-wielding, pissed off creative type who'll sue the pants off anyone so much as sampling my colour scheme; I've had many requests for sharing my work, and 95% of the time I happily allow it. But there's the crux — Creative Commons doesn't allow enough of the control I'd like to retain over who gets to use my work, or more importantly, who doesn't. So a restrictive copyright it is.
- Is the designer's full name present? (80% do) (I do)
- An interesting query, and one that gets overlooked too often. I like knowing who I'm reading. I hit 'about' pages almost as soon as I stumble across a new site. There are obviously valid concerns over snap judgements, which is why some people won't talk about themselves; but for every one visitor who turns away because of something they don't like about your profile, I'd wager five more turn away because they don't take an anonymous voice as seriously.
- Is there a print style sheet? (60% do) (I do)
- I get email when I make a change to the site that I don't account for in the print style sheet; the redesign, for example, added extra text needlessly to the first full printed page. Which goes to show that people print this site, which means a print style sheet is a must.
- Does the navigation bar use image rollovers? (60% do) (I do)
- I suppose this option was included because you can't resize image-based text. Well, I thought of that, which is why Proton has a 'large fonts' version that doubles the size of the header navigation text. Problem solved?
- Is the page UTF-8 encoded? (60% do) (I do)
- I wrote up my Unicode experiences almost a year ago. UTF-8 just makes it easier, provided every piece of software along the way that's going to be handling the data supports it.
- Is the page XHTML? (70% do) (I do)
- Again with the HTML/XHTML issue. Google "xhtml mime types" if you don't know what I'm talking about.
- Is there a XML prolog? (100% don't) (I don't)
- It's optional, but it throws IE6 into quirks mode. Therefore, we exclude it.
- Are quotes educated? (80% do) (I do)
Using inch marks instead of curly quotes is the product of technological limitations. They're a hack. Now that we have the ability, curly quotes — " " etc. — are the way to go.
Not to say that's it's just that easy. If you enable John Gruber's SmartyPants in Movable Type, you must also un-do them for users who comment, quoting snippets of 'educated' text. Otherwise a mess of garbled Unicode will make you regret installing the plug-in.
WordPress handles the proper character encoding automatically, but other systems might not. Fixing them to do so requires a working knowledge of regular expressions, which also raises the bar significantly.
- Is there a 404 page? (60% do) (I do)
Though I wouldn't call mine perfect, it does more than a stock "Error 404" page. My main problem until this afternoon was that it would bounce you to a special error page, overwrite whatever was in the address bar, and prevent you from re-trying a new URL without typing the whole thing all over again.
No more though! It's an easy fix, and I'm surprised I haven't done it sooner. In my .htaccess file, the line that previously went:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mezzoblue.com/errors/404/
Now goes:
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404/
…and all is right in the world.
- Is there more than 6 navigation elements? (90% don't) (I don't)
Though my continual IA re-thinking has me up to 6 at the moment, they aren't represented on the site yet. The lower, the better, or so the classic thinking goes. Don't present too much choice to the user. Any more than 7 items and you have an IA problem.
Except that the trend seems to be wondering aloud whether broad and shallow categories might be better. Amazon was long a model for having just too many items. eBay until recently was an overload of too much choice. Interestingly, I've noticed both are looking a little more restrained these days. I guess the debate continues.
There, wasn't that a lot more fun than talking about validation again? Thanks for the survey François, and more so for touching on a wide variety of practices. The questions bring to light some issues that we haven't been talking about enough.
Reader Comments
Hmm, I didn't know that 404 declaration was any different. Thanks, Dave, the little tidbits I glean off this site was well worth the read!
The thing I struggle with is that, since I am building a new personal site, should we conform to these? Is creativity stiffled when a list or study like this discussion is produced? I want my site to be as usable and useful as the 10 described in this discussion, but at the same time, I want to make my own name, present new ideas, and possibly, break new grounds in areas not thought to be travelable.
I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't be looking at stats of who chooses which layouts, but how these different, yet similar layouts overcome real usability issues.
I hope my new site is more usable and more useful in general than the last, but at the same time, am I really any better then any shmoo who builds a blog using one of blogger's new templates if I follow the pack?
When I was reading his survey, I kept thinking to myself, "yeah, thats obvious, I knew that" for most of the layout stuff. I even tell my clients sometimes that, "certain design elements are the way they are because they make the most sense from a usability standpoint." I don't think it is as much guru leaders causing it as simply the way humans reading western text work. This has nothing to do with the fact that Zeldman does it, or Tantek doesn't. In my opinion he is trying to read too much into his stats (which could very easily fall prey to a sample error).
Another issue I have is the selection of sites. They are all 'blog sites, and are all people who use these sites for experimentation. Is it just me or would that cloud the results? I know my personal site does not reflect newer design practices because I've been too busy doing these on client sites to spend any time on my personal site (sliding doors, FIR, CSS filters, so on…).
I think if he had a larger selection of sites he would have found much more consistent statistics, and would not have attributed the cause to "guru leadership" as much as he did. Not that I'm saying the gurus don't lead, its just that they lead because they use logic and research to do the things they do (except for graphics of course) instead of just on a whim.
> Is creativity stiffled when a list or study like this discussion

I would hope not! Just because 7 out of 10 web designers recommend Crest doesn't mean you need to start brushing with it too; there's a lot of other toothpaste out there. Some of it is bound to work better.
> I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't be looking at

> different, yet similar layouts overcome real usability issues.
That is all that should be taken from this survey, I believe. Taking it too seriously would be a mistake, as there are obvious statistical flaws that wouldn't hold up to close scrutiny.
It's a nice look at the trends, with a lot of detail work, but nothing that could be considered a rulebook.
> I don't think it is as much guru leaders causing it as simply
> the way humans reading western text work.
Believe me, neither do I. I'm looking to the other nine people on that list for guidance just as much as you are. We all publish personal sites for the sake of collaborating and learning from each others experience.
> Is it just me or would that cloud the results?
Sampling personal sites is only going to give you trends about the personal sites of web designers; it doesn't really say much about the Amazons and eBays of the web.
At the same time, since those 10 sites surveyed are all doing things that have gained them some notoreity, they're in a position to have a lot of feedback from everyone else that might eventually filter down to the site. My design skills of today take into account a lot of the email I've received over the past year.
"Are links underlined? (80% do) (I do)"
No you dont :) - you seem to be using the browser's default setting.
Dave S.: "Is there a XML prolog? (100% don't) (I don't)
It's optional, but it throws IE6 into quirks mode. Therefore, we exclude it."
Last I checked, IE (any version) offers to download the file for you (to store locally) when it encounters an XML prolog on an XHTML page. Am I seeing things now, or what? :(
dang it! i recently started learning css yesterday, after i saw zen garden. i was very excited, i tried making 2 layouts, and they look nothing like i expect them to be. i see these awesome colored layouts that i know i can make on html, but i wanna learn on css, and its making me crazyyyyyyyyyyy!!
ps: does anyone know a good site hits tracker? like extreme-dm, but another one?
Faruk Ates, IE offers the save dialog when the document is served as application/xhtml+xml, it has nothing to do with whether or not the XML prologue is included. That is because IE does not support XHTML, and treats it as tag soup when served as text/html.
The XML prologue is optional, and does send IE into quirks mode; and when it's used in a document served as text/html, it's fairly useless since the document is not processed as XML, so it is ignored.
When served correctly as application/xhtml+xml, it must be inlcuded when the character encoding is not UTF-8 or UTF-16, but even then it is better to include it so that the document is fully self describing, and does not depend on a content-type header to set the charset.
If I were to answer the survey questions for my Web log, a lot of the answers would be conditional (or will be very soon with the new version going live in a day or so).
Does it use XHTML? Yes. If the client prefers it.
Does it have an XML prolog? Yes. In XHTML documents.
Does it use serif fonts? Yes. If it's the user default.
Are links underlined? Yes. If it's the user default.
Fixed width? Well, it has a fixed max-width…
Are there more than six navigation links? Sometimes, but they're all internal and duplicated with <link> elements.
The survey would be totally inadequate to qualify my Web log, that much is pretty apparent. Surveys asking such polarised questions are, at least to me, somewhat suspect.
Why would you use the XML Prolog or any other way of setting the charset except through HTTP (even that isn't necessary)? The default charset for XML and 'application/xml'|'application/xhtml+xml' is UTF-8. Both on- and offline.
Dave Shea, I think you fixed your character encoding problems, since the preview page now uses the same charset as the post page. Some time ago, when you used the MovableType CGI file, this was not the case. It used the 'ISO-8859-1' charset where all your other pages, including the comment input form, where encoded in UTF-8.
"Is the main text sans-serif? (90% do) (I do)"
Firstly, I feel that this whole survey is flawed, because only 10 sites were looked at. To get any kind of sensible result, considering the billions of web pages out there, I'd have thought 100 sites would give you a better result. What if only 10 news sites were checked? Or 10 design sites?
Hence I don't think 90% of sites use sans-serif. I see a lot that use serif fonts, mine included.
"Sans-serif is the only choice short of 24px body copy or 200dpi displays, neither of which I'm planning on designing for in the near future."
I'm not so sure. Fonts like Times and Georgia work very well at sizes as small as you'd take Arial or Verdana. Plus they have a classy feel. I get sick of too much sans-serif on white.
I agree that sans-serif is faster to read (but then why are novels often set in serif typefaces?). However this becomes less an issue on monitors with anti-aliasing font-smoothing set for all text. (OK, so it only works well on high-res monitors for Windows, or lower-res OS X on Macs.) Of course when those 200dpi screens become cheaper, things could change again! But I wouldn't wait till then to use serif fonts at less than 24px (which is only suitable for headers of course).
I just noticed that visited links on this page *don't* have underlining. Oops. (I'm using Opera 7.53 on XP.) Also when you post a message, it takes you back to the article, but the link from there to see the comments gives an error page. (The address shows "preview.php".)
One thing about the curly quotes.
A while ago my dad got a new Web-enabled cellphone (I know, I should find out the make/model to share my results with the rest of the class). I went to test my site on his cellphone (to see that my CSS-layout degraded nicely), and everything worked fine except for the curly quotes. They didn't show up at all (or, as this last sentence would be read on his cellphone: "They didnt show up at all"). I still use curly quotes, but I think I need to do more testing.
I find two clear problems with this survey. First, all the sites are blog-style sites, which are all built on the same formula to begin with. Second, he only looked at ten sites. This "survey" would have been far more interesting if it had been more comprehensive in either direction — either more blogs if that's what he's interested in (and there are thousands to look at), or a wider variety of sites (maybe corporate, entertainment, educational, government, etc).
This just comes off as a limited list of arbitrary and unfocused set of "questions" to see what the cool kids are doing right now.
"Some more or less obvious facts were proven using statistical data;"
Statistically speaking, it would be unwise to try and infer too much from this "survey" of only 10 sites which have been self-selected and aren't necessarily representative of what web designers/bloggers think/do. All that has been "proven" is limited to the 10 sites that were analysed.
"I agree that sans-serif is faster to read (but then why are novels often set in serif typefaces?)."
Chris Hester, as Dave explained, serifed fonts are easier to read in print because they aren't limited by pixel positions. If pixels weren't an issue, serifed fonts would still be premier on the screen due to the normalization of space between the letters.
Is there more than 6 navigation elements?
UIE has some good research showing that the amount of information on a nav or a page isn't so important. What's most important is that the information is relevant to the user, uses their language, and has the "scent" of what they are looking for. Ditto on long pages of content. It doesn't matter how long it is, as long as it what the user wants. And ditto again on the number of clicks it takes to get to content. If users are picking up on scent they will click and click until they get to what they want. Perceived speed of page downloads is also based on whether the user thinks they are on on the right track or not. If they feel that the content is not relevant then they perceive the page download time as longer and more frustrating. You get the picture. :)
"Serifs are subtle, high-resolution letterform hints that emphasize the difference between each letter for better legibility and faster reading. It's impossible to adequately express the subtlety in pixels, which makes on-screen serifs clunky and harder to read."
They look great with ClearType anti-aliasing on LCD panels…
As someone who is a statistician, I did think before I posted thank you very much. I'm just stating that one needs to be careful about the use of saying you're proving something using statistics.
fer gawds sake.
Is there a way of making people pause and reflect before they post a comment?
I can't find a statement anywhere that says this is a comprehensive survey of the internet. Dave's even pointed it out already.
~25% of commentors don't think before they post, <20%'s own websites don't validate, and 100% of Anne Vankesteren's always comment about XHTML content type declarations. Please, be positive or negative, but don't just dismiss it.
The survey *is* valid and *is* interesting, as it delivers compiled information that we did not have before. Given that most of the owners are advocates of standards, or usability, etc, it's interesting to see which things they all agree on.
For me, the surprise is that Doug Bowman is the least dissident, as I'd consider him to be one of the most 'creative' on the list. Maybe it shows just how annoyingly talented this guy is.
Three of the comments here (and more elsewhere) I had predicted when writing the survey :
"Firstly, I feel that this whole survey is flawed, because only 10 sites were looked at. (…) Hence I don't think 90% of sites use sans-serif. I see a lot that use serif fonts, mine included."
An identical comment :
"First, all the sites are blog-style sites, which are all built on the same formula to begin with. Second, he only looked at ten sites."
And another one :
"Statistically speaking, it would be unwise to try and infer too much from this "survey" of only 10 sites which have been self-selected and aren't necessarily representative of what web designers/bloggers think/do."
The problem is : people think their website is just as good at looking at than Zeldman's. This is why my additional note about selecting targets is called : "Selecting targets: why those web sites (and not yours)?" (please do not overreact and read next paragraph before replying to this).
These 10 web sites were selected because they are influential in the world of web design. Read more about this here : http://phnk.com/design/survey/#selecting
A next version of the survey will nevertheless include more targets, because some commentators legitimately asked for it. But please, before posting :
- read what Eric Meyer says about this kind of critics you are providing us with;
- find me a statistical way to survey 100, 000 pages and not getting paid for it.
I only scanned the results of the survey, but read your explanation Dave. I thought that the points you made were very interesting. I was also glad to see that I'm not the only one who has a search function on my list of "things to do". You also made me think of lots of things I need to review. Thanks for the heads up!
Overall I agree with everyone that the survey is a bit of a joke. 10 web sites out of who knows how many isn't very considerable.
As far as the curly quotes thing goes, I myself just use the q tag, unless it's not like a cited quote.

Tonight after what seemed like six years off, the Wolves take it to Target Center in Ricky Rubio's would-have-been season debut. The Nuggets, long thought to be Western Conference contenders, are quietly right on par with the Wolves at an underwhelming 11-11 despite the team being generally injury-free for most of the season. This game marks a bit of a deja vu game, as the last time the two rivals faced off the Wolves benefited from a similar vacation followed by a game vs. Denver at home. Tonight's situation would have been even more eerie had Rubio decided to suit up, as Love miraculously came back from injury the last time the two teams squared off, but it is not to be. Rubio will be gazing onward yet again, hopefully debuting Saturday against the Mavericks. If he doesn't, well, that would stink.
1, The Love Comments. But let's tackle this elephant first. Unless you live under a rock/Pekovic, you know that yesterday Adrian Wojnarowski wrote a rhetoric-laden account interlaced with some rather shocking (or not, really) quotes from Kevin Love questioning David Kahn and, to a smaller, more implied degree, Glen Taylor. As one who loves to poke around quietly and see what the fanbase generally thinks about current issues, the response to this has been all across the board. Some were quick to blame Love, calling him a Diva. Others were quick to remember just how terrible Kahn has performed as a GM despite a successful offseason. A few blamed Woj for writing an obviously one-sided article that contained mostly his opinion and stance with little-to-no source material other than conveniently guiding Kevin Love's off-color comments towards an obvious personal disdain for the Wolves' front office on behalf of his agent source. Whatever the answer may be, none of this is particularly good for the franchise. But despite this, let's put on our earmuffs and briefly analyze this situation.
a. The media is a tool for athletes, as well as agents. One of the more often misperceived or under thought aspects of sports media today, is that fans and followers don't often grasp that most messaging and rumors are sent with a strategic agenda in mind. Furthermore, rumors and speculation are often, but not always, driven by those who are excellent at controlling the media: sports agents. Now of course there are plenty of examples where FO staffers speak under condition of anonymity, but trade rumors, free agent rumors, and other stories are generally leaked through agents. This is why Woj is so good at breaking stories. He has a national platform with perhaps a little bit more editorial freedom than his competition over at 4-letter or whichever outlet, and as such has become the ultimate PR tool for sports agents to sway public opinion towards or against a particular client and his respective organization. This then elicits action on behalf of a client. And thus the game of chess continues.
That being said, it is not a coincidence that Kevin Love shares the same agent as Al Jefferson, or Michael Beasley for that matter. Consider Love spent an odd amount of time addressing Kahn's decision to trade Al Jefferson over two years ago for pennies on the dollar. Consider Kahn flamed Michael Beasley publicly early on. Consider that good old Jeff Schwartz has not been able to get the better of Kahn in any contract negotiation to date. Consider Kahn has responded by making questionable roster decisions and thus lowering the value of one of his marquee clients. You see, as much as this is really about Love….it is more about the suddenly quiet David Kahn. Why Love was the talking head in the situation instead of Schwartz (under anonymity of course) remains to be seen. But one thing is clear, this wasn't some accidental set of circumstances. Love didn't just wander into an upscale Philadelphia restaurant and happen to run into Woj, known for basically dousing every word he writes in gasoline and setting it on fire, and decide "hey pal, let's talk!" Regardless of the true agenda, this was a calculated decision, whether right or wrong, by Love and his agent to sway opinion in some way. Love, growing more and more unlikable, clearly has beef with Kahn and this was another move on his part to sway the tides against him after Kahn did his best to cover up his liquid cesspool of ineptitude of a roster with a box of Band-Aids (whatever their premium item is! let's not discredit AK47.) this offseason.
b. So What is the Agenda? As implied above, this is not about Kevin Love. What is done is done. He feels mistreated, he feels mismanaged, he feels like he is in a bad situation and he is, only because of the POBO. I could be dead wrong here, but this issue seems to quietly be about Kahn more than Love himself. And this is, in a twisted way, a good thing. It says to me that Love would rather stay here than leave. Woj tweeted out as much this afternoon. It says Love feels he has a home here, but also that Kahn is not the best guy to lead the ship. And if he and his agent, another guy with a clear agenda and vendetta against Kahn who has had Woj's ear for years, have anything to say about it, they will. It is all a game. MPR Columnist Bob Collins had a great comment on this matter. "You have to be part PR-agent to be a sportwriter." And this is another case of another agenda in action. Just like the next big agent-driven trade rumor you hear (currently happening with Pau Gasol). As much as we think FO's control the league, agents are the quiet deities of the league in many cases. One only needs to remember Stephon Marbury's departure years ago when David Falk basically ran the entire league.
What is important to think about in this situation is not "what" Love said, but "why." The "what" portion has been obvious the second Love started playing at a star level, making all-star and Olympic teams, and watching his inferior peers get 5-year max deals from their respective front offices. But the "why" is really quite obvious if you dig at each carefully (yes, carefully and calculated) crafted comment he makes. He all but said, "I will play in Minnesota; I like this fanbase and community, but Kahn has treated me like scum and I won't tolerate it again." And in a situation where Love will hold every piece of leverage imaginable in three years, he made a good move for a professional exit strategy should no change be made in the front office. Once again, it all boils down to the infamous David Kahn. Anything beyond that is mere speculation. As if he went into the meeting with Woj ignorant of his negative editorial style and masterful rhetorical use of quotes? Give me a break.
And that is about as deep of an analysis as you will get until Love starts commenting about it again.
2. Oh yes, the game. No Rubio as mentioned above, and a grudge match for an over .500 record. Denver played, and defeated, Detroit last night so they will be coming in a little bit tired while the Wolves will be coming off a 4 day trip to the spa. For a team in such bad health, any rest is great rest. Iggy and Gallinari are your x-factors, thus Malcolm Lee and AK47 will have a big challenge tonight. Look for Ty Lawson, coming on after a slow start, to murder Ridnour off the dribble. It will likely come down to what it always has this season: getting to the line and making the shots, and at least trying not to shoot a historically terrible clip from 3.
Prediction: Wolves win at home 101-92. #embracehomerism

HONOLULU, Hawai'i – The Tennessee State men's basketball team dropped its season-opening game at the University of Hawai'i, 85-55, on Friday night in the first day of the 49th Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic.
Senior guard Patrick Miller paced the Tigers with 15 points (6-of-14), 13 of which came in the second half.
Junior M.J. Rhett also had a good game, recording a double-double with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting and 12 rebounds.
The game started as one of runs, as the Warriors opened to a 7-0 advantage thanks to a pair of TSU turnovers. The Tigers countered with a seven-point stretch of their own, capped off by a rim-rocking one-handed dunk by Miller. The slam tied the game at the 15:48 mark – the last time that the teams would be even.
Hawai'i scored nine straight before Rhett got TSU back on the scoreboard with a pair of freebies with just over 12 minutes to play in the half.
Rhett's makes did little to slow down the 'Bows as they continued their charge and even led by as many as 23 in the first half when Davis Rozitis finished from in close with just 39 seconds left to play in the opening period.
Gerald Williams gave TSU some amount of momentum heading into the locker room as the redshirt sophomore guard drove into the lane and scored, two seconds before halftime. The hoop made the first half score 41-20 with the home team on top.
The Tigers' 20 points were the lowest for the team in any half since last year's 18 points during the second half of a, 68-38, loss to Missouri on Dec. 8.
Rhett led the Tigers with seven points and eight rebounds during the first 20 minutes, but TSU shot just 29 percent (8-of-28) from the floor and was outrebounded 24 to 17.
Williams hit TSU's first shot of the second stanza at 16:04 mark, but the Tigers trailed by 30 before the make and never could get back within 20.
Tennessee State did have a stretch where the team hit five straight shots, including two from Miller, but the hot streak only made the score 77-53 with five minutes to go in the game.
The Warriors ended the contest on an 8-2 run and walked away with a 30-point victory.
TSU was much better at shooting in the second half (44.8 percent), but the Tigers ended up with 14 turnovers and were outrebounded 47 to 28 in the game.
The Tigers will look to rebound and record their first win of the year tomorrow when they take on New Mexico State at 5 p.m. local time.

Chapter felt really short for some reason, and it's pretty weird to see Yami so happy during her childhood.
LOL at Momo for getting caught after only taking one step inside the corridor. Mikan's gotten way too good at detecting her ninja ways. It's funny, but at the same time we'll likely be seeing less of Momo's nightly escapades from now on.
And once more, TEARJU! I'll be crying foul if there aren't any hand-groping, face-planting, or any other accidental mishaps with her in the chapters to come.

Lol at Nana dreaming about Rito too. From the blush on her face it seems to be quite the dream
And about Gid and his shounen Hero team - My jaw dropped when I noticed Zastin was amoung them. Its so easy to forget that he's supposed to be an actual badass.

Yami was too cute this chapter. But, well, so much for her wondering where Tearju is. Hey look, she's right in your school, after all this time!
I hope Yabuki doesn't make it too long before they reunite. That would feel forced. They are in the same building after all.

Might be a new coloring up. Looks very similar to the godly artist, but almost like he rushed and didn't put in all the extra effort, a few of the edges just don't seem as polished as he usually does. Yes very nitpicky. Kind of hope its a new guy, cause then that means we could have twice as many colorings each chapter.
Can anyone confirm if this is a NEW very good artist or the same old godly guy?

mikado did say that she cant find tearju so far.... but she also added... that she still has some other connections that she will use and try to find her... so I wouldnt be supprised if she did call to somone and got the info on teaju location...
next chapter will tell if mikado is supprised or not... but from oshizu's expression she looks to know about tearju apperance....
what if the one that found tearju was that black cat guy...an assasin so he might know this and that..maybe a little dept pay back to yami or something ^^
I want teaju to be a person that wants to learn more about rito ^^ maybe some yami teasing....
Tear: you must be yuki-kun I heared from mikado that will marry lala deviluke
yami: yes and he is my target !
tear: target ?.... a love target ^^
yami: WHA....NO !!
tear: so why is he still alive if he is your target ?
yami: well that is... I will kill him when the time is right...
tear: so you do have feelings for that boy afterall ^^
yami: noo...damn so annoying...
well tearju's boobs have grown mosty for rito's sake... a boob-pillow...clevenge-smelling... or grooping action after some accident (rito used his god like skill to fall XD)

And another popular Linux distribution pushes a new release out the door. This time around, it's openSUSE, as they just released version 12.1. Other than the usual latest and greatest version of all the open source desktops and associated tools, there's a few other interesting tidbits in this release as well.

And where are those magical SuSE f--king manuals that I must read before installing on perfectly working and everywhere supported notebook?
a) Try reading the Openuse HCL before installing.
b) Submit a bug report.
c) Stop complaining about something you got for free.

"You get something for free and then complain if it doesn't support every bit of hardware.
Here's some suggestions.
a) Buy a netbook that supports Linux (they exist).
b) Write your own fucking drivers.
c) Stop complaining."
Am I complaining? NOO I am telling that OpenSuse sucks ass because developers fucked up standard Intel 945 drivers that works on every other Linux distribution and BSD.
Back to BSD folks.

Sapphire A75 Pure Platinum Review
When it comes to processor performance AMD has been the underdog for a long while now. However, this underdog has always had quite a few things going for it. For instance, AMD's low prices have made its chips great for high performance budget rigs. Not only that, but AMD computers are extremely upgradeable in that you can use newer socket chips in some older socket motherboards. However, this has changed with the release of AMD's APUs and socket FM1 motherboards. These new APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) combine AMD Radeon HD graphics with the CPU cores all on one die. This allows for users to build affordable computers with DirectX 11 support, without the need to buy a GPU. You can also combine the APU's graphic capabilities with a 6670, 6570, or 6450 to get even more of a performance boost. While these APUs would also make great budget gaming rigs, I expect the majority of them to be used in budget multimedia/HTPC rigs.
However, no matter what you decide to do with your APU, you'll still need an FM1 motherboard to get it up and running. Today we'll be taking a look at one of Sapphire's FM1 offerings, the Sapphire A75 Pure Platinum. Sapphire is usually known for being a video card manufacturer; however, we've seen a few of its motherboards in the past and each one has performed on par with its competition. So what exactly can we expect from the Sapphire A75 Pure Platinum? Well for one thing it comes equipped with Display Port, DVI-I, and HDMI connectors. Not only that, but it also has two SATA 6Gb/s slots and four USB 3.0 slots. Sure these aren't as cool as some of the features we've seen on other motherboards, but this is a very affordable motherboard which is meant to be paired with an affordable, yet powerful, CPU. Besides, what really matters is the performance right, so let's get this baby set up and start benching!
Closer Look:
When you receive a new motherboard the very first thing you do is admire the packaging, so, let's do that. The Sapphire A75 Pure Platinum arrives in a very shiny black and silver box. The front of the box is littered with logos and decals; however we only care about the ones located in the center. These are, of course, the Sapphire and Pure Platinum logos. The back of the box uses the same color scheme, but also features some information on the board. Some of these features are the board's "Pure Speed", "Pure Features", and "Pure Realiability". The one that we should care most about is the Pure Reliability. This feature talks about how the board uses 100% solid capacitors, Dual BIOS, Dual Graphics, and comes with a Diagnostic/CPU Temperature LED display. The sides of the A75 pure Platinum's packaging follow the same color scheme; however, other than a list of the board's specifications, no new information is found.
Once you've opened the main packaging you'll have the secondary inner packaging. This is just a black box that opens upwards revealing the board's included accessories. Removing the cardboard layer that separates the packaging from the A75 Pure Platinum gives us our first glimpse of the board nice and snug in an antistatic bag.
Last but not least, let's look at the board's included accessories. First up, you'll get a driver CD, an owner's manual, and an I/O shield. You'll also get a coupon for a free copy of Dirt 3 through steam. However, chances are good that you already got a copy of Dirt 3 with your llano CPU. Moving on, you'll also receive four SATA cables, and a front panel USB box which will take up a single 5.25" bay.
Now that we've unpacked everything, let's get up close and personal with the Sapphire A75 Pure Platinum!

All In The Family... Another Trip Down Memory Lane...
The following story of a snowy Christmas eve is a Christmas memory in two ways. It recalls a Christmas of my childhood, and it also brings to mind the Christmas of 2000 when I wrote this for a little keepsake book and special website that members of my church made.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY of a Christmas Eve when I was about eight years old. A dry snow was falling that night and several inches of white powder lay on the ground by the time we read the Bible story of Jesus's birth and opened our gifts.
Our Christmas packages held new ice skates and mine were white. We were so anxious to try them that we couldn't wait until morning light! We laced on our skates while my father got a shovel and pushed back the snow on the little pond in the milkcow pasture. Then, with a million tiny snowflakes sparkling in the yardlight and dancing away into the long quiet shadows, we skated.
I outgrew those skates in a year or two, but the best gift my parents gave me that Christmas is still with me -- the happy memory of the utter joy and beauty of that night. God's great love for us shines through happy memories like this, lifting our spirits and warming our hearts each time He brings them to mind.
This is my 49th Christmas. [That was in 2000. In 2006, it's now my 55th Christmas!] Through the years, I have had times of walking "through the valley of the shadow of death" as well as times of walking "beside the still waters". Sometimes, I could only pray, "O Lord, you know!" and hand my heartaches and fears over to God.
Still, as I look back over the years, I see God's great love for me shining brightly through each of them. I thank Him for my savior, Jesus, and for the joy of celebrating Christmas! I thank Him for each day of my life and for all He has provided for me. He has brought me this far and He will lead me on.

The prisoners at David Viloria Correction Center, known as Uribana prison, in Venezuela's Lara state, had been protesting since Tuesday over what they said was inhumane treatment and rights violations by prison officials, anonymous police sources said.
Prison officials said the dead inmates were poisoned after ingesting prescription drugs.How the inmates all came to consume one or more medications was not immediately clear.
A non-governmental group, Venezuelan Prisons Watch, said however there were 17 dead at the prison in Lara state, and that four more inmates died at a facility in the state of Maracay.
Prisons Minister Iris Varela said on Twitter there had been an incident involving "prisoners affected by inappropriate ingestion of medications" in the Lara jail.
She did not immediately confirm deaths.

And here we are! FX has ordered a pilot for Tyrant, created by Gideon Raff, who also created Hatufim, the Israeli series on which Homeland is based. Raff would executive produce alongside fellow Homeland EP Howard Gordon, and Lost's (and Underemployed's) Craig Wright would serve as showrunner. Tyrant is about an American family who gets sucked into the political turbulence of a Middle Eastern country, according to THR, which sounds like what you'd expect/want from some of the Homeland folk.

Although MySQL can be compiled with support for SSL, many binary distributions do not have this feature enabled. Open a SQL prompt and type "show variables like '%ssl%'. If 'have_ssl' or 'have_openssl' are set to 'No,' you're out of luck. Fortunately, there is an alternative to recompiling from source. Secure Shell (SSH) supports data-tunneling, which sets up a mini VPN-like environment offering transparent encryption. First, to get started, we are going to set-up an SSH tunnel using a username/password. You should use RSA keys for remote authentication. ArchLinux has a nice walk through. Once we have the tunnel working, we will set-up replication.
Setting Up The Tunnel
SSH tunneling uses port-forwarding to connect to a TCP port on the slave computer, TCP port 7777 in our case, which gets forwarded via SSH to the MySQL port, TCP port 3306, on the master. On the MySQL master, be sure that SSH tunneling is enabled. It usually is enabled by default. On the MySQL slave, execute the following command: 'ssh -f [email protected]_ip -L 7777:master_ip:3306 -N.' Replace user and master_ip with a system user account and IP address of the master server. You might want to make a user on the master with the shell set to /bin/false just for replication. Replace 7777 with any available port on the slave. You will be prompted for the user account password on the master system.
Now try connecting to the MySQL master server from the MySQLl slave by running 'mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 7777.' Please note that you cannot use localhost, as MySQL treats that differently. If necessary, append '-u
Setting Up Replication
Now that the tunnel is up, set up replication. This process is similar to a typical MySQL replication configuration. Edit the my.cnf file on the master, adding the following two lines:

NEW YORK (AP) - Beyonce is accustomed to getting awards for writing songs, but now she's earned one for writing a magazine piece.
The New York chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists will award Beyonce the first-place prize in arts and entertainment in its magazine category for a story she wrote for Essence magazine.
The first-person piece was titled Eat, Play, Love and appeared in the magazine's July 2011 issue. In it, the Grammy winner talks about how taking a break from music changed her life.
Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z had their first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in January. She released her fourth solo album, 4, last year.


text: Records dating back to the 1800s show the bridge on Sea View Drive in Oakland Beach was called "Danger Bridge," and that won't change, although there's an all-new bridge, which is really safe. The former bridge – actually a culvert connecting a tidal pond to Brush Neck Cove – was crumbling and in need of replacement. The city's Department of Public Works took on the job, working on the project since July depending on the tide and other city work they were doing. "It's one of the nicer jobs we've done. I'm really proud of the guys," DPW director David Picozzi said yesterday. Picozzi put the cost of the work at under $100,000. Providing it isn't raining, a ribbon cutting is planned for Friday at 2 p.m. (Warwick Beacon photos)

Looking for a way to save money? Maybe it's time to stop spending money on vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements. About 53 percent of American adults take some kind of supplement on a regular basis. This is an increase from 30 percent 20 years ago. Americans currently spend $30 billion a year on supplements.
Three new studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine have failed to prove any benefit associated with taking supplements. They studied the effect of supplements on mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer and cognitive decline, and found no difference in the groups who took the vitamin supplements and those that did not. The conclusion was that the general population who have no clear evidence of a deficiency do not benefit from vitamin supplementation.
Our bodies can use only so much vitamins and minerals. Once we've reached the limit, excess water-soluble vitamins are simply excreted in our urine. Excess fat-soluble vitamins get stored in our fat, and can become harmful to us. Too much beta-carotene has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer in smokers. Too much vitamin E increases the risk of prostate cancer. Too much vitamin A can increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture.
Vitamin supplements do not make up for a bad diet. They are not a substitute for food. Supplements simply cannot replicate all the nutrients and benefits that we get from food. Take an orange, for example. Not only are you getting vitamin C, but also beta-carotene, calcium, fiber, phytochemicals and antioxidants. A pill just can't compete with that, no matter how much you pay for it.
People sometimes turn to herbal supplements as a means to avoid taking prescription drugs or to improve their health. Half of all Americans take herbal supplements, and it has become a $5 billion a year industry.
Most people believe that herbal supplements are safe to use because they are advertised as "natural" or "organic" and are legally sold and readily available. There are an estimated 50,000 adverse effects reported annually associated with the use of herbal supplements. Herbal supplements may contain unlabeled toxic or allergenic ingredients as part of their fillers. They may interact with prescription drugs you take.
Did you know that herbal supplement manufacturers are not regulated by any government agency? These supplements are not FDA approved and are not required to go through any testing for quality, truthfulness or accuracy in labeling. You can't even be sure you are getting the dosage that the label says.
There are a few exceptions with supplement recommendations, namely folic acid for women of childbearing age. Calcium, vitamin D and B12 supplements commonly are recommended because it can be difficult to get adequate amounts of these solely from your diet.
Food is always the best source to meet all of our nutritional needs. Eating a balanced diet and including a variety of foods is ideal. Adding specific foods with high targeted nutrients can help if you think you may be lacking in certain vitamins. For example, spinach is rich in iron, potassium, vitamins A, C, E and K and magnesium. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, and C, fiber, potassium, and carotene. Salmon and tuna are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Avocados are very rich in B vitamins, vitamins E and K, as well as healthy monounsaturated fats. Many common foods, like cereals, beverages and granola bars are now fortified with vitamins and minerals.
Here are some questions you should ask yourself if you still think you need to take vitamin supplements:
Do you eat fewer than two meals a day or consume fewer than 1,500 calories daily?
Is your diet restricted? Or, do you eliminate an entire food group, like meat or dairy?
Have you unintentionally lost more than 10 pounds in the past six months?
Do you have three or more alcoholic drinks daily?
Are you pregnant or trying to get pregnant?
Do you have a medical condition that affects how your body absorbs food? Examples might be chronic diarrhea, food allergies or intolerances, or diseases of the liver, gallbladder, intestines or pancreas.
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you should ask your health provider discuss whether you need vitamin supplements.
Should you opt to take vitamin, mineral or herbal supplements, consider these factors.
Avoid mega doses. In general, do not exceed 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance, unless recommended by your health provider.
Check expiration dates. Dietary supplements lose potency throughout time, especially when stored in warm, humid environments like a bathroom. Discard any past the expiration date.
Ideally, take supplements with food and water. This ensures there is liquid to help dissolve the pill and fat to help absorb the vitamins.
Inform your doctor or pharmacist of all supplements you take if you are on any prescription medicines. Some supplements, especially herbal supplements, can interact dangerously with prescription drugs.
Read labels carefully to determine what dosage is recommended. Choose reputable brands with a seal of approval from ConsumerLab, NSF or United States Pharmacopeia.
Use caution with any herbal supplements. Remember that their claims have not been tested or proven, there is no regulation to ensure you are getting what is on the label, and there is a danger of adverse reactions.

About The Heart Truth®
To make women more aware of the danger of heart disease, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is sponsoring a national program called The Heart Truth®, in partnership with many national and community organizations. The program's goal is to raise awareness about heart disease and its risk factors among women and educate and motivate them to take action to prevent the disease and control its risk factors.
National Symbol
The centerpiece of The Heart Truth is the Red Dress®, which was introduced as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 by the NHLBI. The Red Dress® reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action to lower their risk for the disease.
Program Objectives
Primary Objectives
- Increase awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women.
- Increase awareness of the risk factors for heart disease.
- Increase awareness that having risk factors can lead to heart disease, disability, and death.
- Increase perceived susceptibility to heart disease (e.g. an individual's perception she may be at personal risk for heart disease).
- Increase the number of women who intend to take action to prevent heart disease and/or control its risk factors.
Secondary Objective
- Increase the frequency of conversations between women and their health care provider about risk for heart disease and importance of taking preventive action.
Who Are We Trying to Reach?
The program is especially for women ages 40 to 60, the age when a woman's risk for heart disease starts to rise. But its messages are also important for younger women, since heart disease develops gradually and can start at a young age-even in the teenage years. Older women have an interest too—it's never too late to take action to prevent and control the risk factors for heart disease. Even those who have heart disease can improve their heart health and quality of life.
Heart disease disproportionately affects women of color. African American and Hispanic women, in particular, have high rates of the major risk factors for heart disease, including obesity, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The program's objectives recognize the critical need to eliminate health inequities by placing an emphasis on reaching African American and Hispanic women with heart health awareness messages and science-based public education information.
|The program tells women that "The Heart Truth starts with you. Talk with your doctor, find out your risk for heart disease, and take action today to lower it." The Heart Truth's messages are highlighted by the moving stories of women who are taking action to have a heart healthy lifestyle or are living with heart disease. Jennifer, Yaskary, Eileen, and others have allowed the program to tell The Heart Truth using their faces, voices, and experiences in hopes that All Our Stories Are Red will inspire other women take heart health seriously.

Ready, fire, aim
Everyone knows that the federal government moves at the speed of a super slo-mo video. Government lobbyists, on the other hand, can attain warp speed whenever they need to.
Employees of the U.S. House of Representatives who eat in the Longworth cafeteria saw political activism in, well, action in June when someone got the idea to promote Meatless Mondays. One day in early June, a sign appeared at one of the stations in the cafeteria servery. According to published accounts, the station was touting some new vegetarian options.
Within days, the Farm Animal Welfare Coalition (FAWC)—a lobbying group that represents beef, chicken and pork ranchers and producers—fired off a letter to the House Administration Committee and to Restaurant Associates (RA), the management firm that runs foodservice in the House. Complaining that Meatless Mondays is a "tool of animal rights and environmental organizations who seek to publicly denigrate U.S. livestock and poultry production," FAWC demanded an end to the program.
That was that. Meatless Mondays closed faster than a Broadway flop. United Press International quoted Dan Weiser, spokesperson for the House Administration's Chief Administrative Office, as saying that the cafeteria was never going to go meatless. RA was just seeking to promote vegetarian and vegan options in the cafeteria.
"It was one sign, one station, one day," Weiser said.
A lobbyist for FAWC, Steve Kopperud, told Politico.com that the group isn't against vegetarian food; it was the use of the term Meatless Mondays to which FAWC objected.
This is not the first time the federal government has felt the wrath of the meat industry over Meatless Mondays. Last year, a similar attempt was made at the USDA cafeteria, in the employee newsletter. USDA officials quickly apologized, saying the newsletter article had not been approved. But that didn't stop two congressmen from venting their spleens. Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Steve King, both Republicans from Iowa, took to Twitter to denounce the idea.
"I will eat more meat on Monday to compensate for stupid USDA recommendation abt (sic) a meatless Monday," Grassley tweeted. King followed that with, "USDA HQ meatless Mondays!!! At the Dept. Of Agriculture? Heresy! I'm not grazing there. I will have double rib-eye Mondays instead."
I'm not sure how I feel about Meatless Mondays. On the one hand, it is a catchy way to call people's attention to the fact that man does not live by beef—or pork or chicken—alone, and I know of several institutions where Meatless Mondays have been embraced. On the other hand, why can't foodservice providers come up with a way to simply promote the consuming of a wide variety of foods, both plant- and animal-based? That's how I try to approach my dining habits.
But if the Longworth/RA effort was in fact designed to promote vegetarian choices and not a plan to remove all meat from the café for even one day, wasn't FAWC just a little too quick to pull the trigger and fire off its missive to the House?
There should be some middle ground here. Aren't fruit and vegetable farmers constituents too? Why shouldn't we be advocating for their products as well? What we need is dialogue, not demagoguery.

George, Hibbert help Pacers rout injury riddled Wizards 93-73
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
INDIANAPOLIS – Lance Stephenson slumped his shoulders and dragged his feet to the bench with three minutes left in the game. Three points shy of a triple-double, Stephenson heard the crowd boo his removal and chant moments later for his return.
Things are going so well for the Indiana Pacers that they can contemplate personal milestones and finally turn their attention to a difficult road trip awaiting them in early December.
"I knew we would be a good team," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "They are driven and hungry. We're off to a good start."
Paul George scored 23 points and Roy Hibbert added 13 and eight rebounds to easily lead surging Indiana past injury hampered Washington 93-73 on Friday night. The Pacers won their sixth straight and extended their best start in franchise history to 15-1.
The Wizards (7-9) snapped a three-game winning streak and lost their 11th straight game in Indianapolis. They committed 18 turnovers, shot 40 percent from the field and went 6-of-18 from 3-point range.
Star point guard John Wall struggled badly, rarely attacked the rim and finished with eight points on 4-of-14 shooting. Marcin Gortat led Washington with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Trevor Ariza scored 14.
The Pacers shut out a transition attack that came in ranked second in the NBA. After averaging 18.6 points a game on the fast break, Washington had none against the defensive-minded Pacers.
"When we did get in the open court we turned the ball over," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "They got back and jammed the lane. That was the opposite of how we wanted to play."
Washington had won five of six before injuries finally caught up. The team announced shortly before the game that starting power forward Nene would sit due to a sore right Achilles tendon. Also missing were starting shooting guard Bradley Beal and prized rookie Otto Porter, the No. 3 pick in the draft.
"That took a little bit out of us," Wittman said. "Down seven (43-36) at half, It might have been one of our worst halves. I could tell they just didn't have the vibe. We were drained."
As usual, the Pacers stifled spirits and took control in the third quarter. They entered the day outscoring opponents by an average of 6.7 points in the third and followed that script once more by outscoring Washington 26-20 to carry a 69-56 lead to the fourth. The gap only widened from there.
"We just come out focused," George said. "We really are dialed in. We are working on that dead spot in the second quarter. Hopefully we can shore that up on our road trip."
Stephenson departed with seven points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He made multiple flashy passes that drew oohs and aahs before Vogel replaced him with Orlando Johnson.
On Wednesday in Charlotte, Stephenson had 15 points and 10 rebounds. He had the first two triple-doubles of his career earlier this month.
Vogel knew bigger things are ahead.
"I love to see guys get triple-doubles. But you can't make moves that compromise the next game," Vogel said.
The Pacers begin a five-game road trip against the Western Conference on Sunday at the Los Angeles Clippers. Four of the five opponents are above .500 and the slate ends with games against Oklahoma City and reigning conference champ San Antonio.
Vogel had hushed talk of the trip to help the team focus. Now, Indiana is ready to test its league-best record against other top teams.
"We must continue to play our game on the road trip," forward David West said. "This will really tell us something and give us an idea of what we are made of. They're all good teams. We'll have to play at our highest level."
The Wizards, who trailed 28-14 after the opening quarter, made their only push in the second with George and Hibbert on the bench. They scored on 10 of their first 15 possessions and got as close as 38-34 when Trevor Booker hustled for an offensive rebound and made a layup. But Indiana allowed just two points over the final 4 ½ minutes of the half to end the run.
Hibbert scored 10 points in the third on 4-of-5 shooting after an 0-of-5 first half. Indiana shot 11-of-20 as a team in the third.
NOTES: Pacers forward Danny Granger has yet to play this season due to lingering effects of a strained right calf. . The Wizards, 3-0 on the second night of a back-to-back, host Atlanta on Saturday night. . The Pacers went 3-1 against Washington last season. All the victories came when Wall was hurt. . Nene missed two previous games with a left calf strain. Washington lost both. . Boxer Floyd Mayweather attended the game.

Dear Comrades..
As we are barely living these hard and dark days of capitalistic domination a spark of hope is glowing up there at the top of the capitalistic castle "Wall street". Despite that I'm Iraqi and the struggle against the dominion of capitalism and theocracy in my country is a priority to me, but the international fight vs capitalism and autocracy must parallel the local struggle.I was very enthusiastic when I saw this channel "Occupy TVYN" on the youtube. I wanna hear your opinions and suggestions for the next phase of the international struggle.
Thanks Comrades..

Red Salute Comrade,
I am sad to inform you that there is a ton of misinformation floating about regarding the Okkupy movement. This is not a revolutionary movement in any sense, it has far more akin to fascism than to anything revolutionary. Almost the entire population in Amerika is in the top 20% of the world in terms of wealth and these are people who are fighting to get even more for themselves. My efforts to make the daily struggles of third-world peoples known to my local Okkupy event was met with ridicule, me being called "crazy", and a call for people to "just concentrate on Amerikans".
Our comrades at Okkupy Ottawa (in Canada) have been violently attacked by camp leadership for their beliefs. Everywhere comrades are being censored and accused of "trying to hijack the movement" for simply trying to throw our ideas on the pile.
^^From the comrades who were violently attacked. Note that these comrades are first-worldists, they believe that revolution is possible in the first-world, which is nonsense, but still they should have every right to speak their minds without being attacked. There is no base for revolution in the first world where there exists a labor aristocracy.
The Okkupy movement is openly racist. Even when it has been brought to their attention, they persist in their racist ways. The indigenous peoples of this country, who have also been the victims of genocide, have been very vocal about how they are offended that these people would consider themselves "occupiers" on land that they've been trying to tell people has been occupied for centuries, their message is completely ignored except by (De)Occupy New Mexico (a place with a very high indigenous population) and the offensive colonialist language is permitted. Imagine a century or so from now, how offended the Iraqi people would be if a group of White people gathered and proudly proclaimed themselves occupiers in Iraq! Well these racists here don't care, they believe that genocide is a legitimate method of obtaining a homeland for themselves.
This racist movement calls on people to show solidarity to police and military! This is no less racist to conscious non-White people as it would be to call on Black people to show solidarity to the KKK. Third-world peoples should not support a movement that calls on people to show solidarity to U$ military. Their call for solidarity is a spit in the face to all third-world peoples. Anger towards the police and military at these okkupy events will instantly get you labeled as an "agent provocateur" out to destroy their movement.
As for what the next step should be? Build a revolutionary movement. There is absolutely no hope of revolution in Amerika. The people here have grown accustomed to Amerikan lifestyles made possible by genocide, chattel slavery, and the continuing rape and plunder of the third-world, lifestyles that are destroying our planet and that will never be given up peacefully. When you hear of a movement being reported about saying that Amerikans are in the streets demanding that they have less and want to give back the wealth they've stolen from the third-world, then that's something to be excited about, but of course that will never happen. We must look to the third-world to rise up and defeat Amerikan imperialism, to cut off the Amerikan lifestyles at their roots which lie in the exploitation and oppression of third-world peoples. We must build upon the glorious struggles being waged against Amerikan imperialism and their allies throughout the third-world. We must establish a base area in which to begin a new stage of global communist revolution. Specific to Iraq, the Iraqi people who have waged a glorious struggle against U$ imperialism must be sure that Amerika does not win, they must not allow Amerika to prop up their puppet regimes and to influence the future of Iraq. U$ interest$ in Iraq must be defeated and the Iraqi people need to take full control of their own resources.
