Developing situation
Ainge's youth movement is the Celtics' top priority
Danny Ainge says the Celtics defensive play must get better next season. (Globe Staff Photo / Matthew J. Lee)
WALTHAM -- When Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers awoke yesterday morning for the first day of the Celtics' offseason, the free pass granted them this year and last had expired.
The talk about youth and development and potential can only pacify a fan base for so long. The Celtics appear headed in the right direction, but an 11th-place finish with a 33-49 record in a weak Eastern Conference, and a lottery pick in a year where 40 wins meant a playoff spot do not exactly scream ''team of tomorrow."
But from the ownership to Ainge to Rivers to the players, the Celtics insist they are close, ''a player or two away." Just how close and just who those players are depends on what happens this summer.
For the sake of the future, it was important to find ''the kids" minutes this season and Ainge considers the continued development of players, young and old, his No. 1 priority this summer. He also has decisions to make when it comes to the draft, free agency, and the contracts of players and assistant coaches. Ainge plans to approach each offseason decision with patience and pragmatism.
''If I believe that the house has to be built by the end of next season, then I'll make a mistake," said Ainge. ''If I feel like there's a window [of opportunity] that's closing on the goals that I'd like to accomplish and I panic and trade Joe Johnson for Rodney Rogers and Tony Delk, I'm not doing my job."
Taking a not-so-subtle shot at the Celtics' not-so-distant past, when general manager Chris Wallace made that deal at the trading deadline in 2002 and helped the team reach the Eastern Conference finals, Ainge emphasized his point about the importance of long-range perspective in an interview conducted in his office Wednesday morning.
''We just focus on whether we're getting better, and not necessarily who our competition is," said Ainge. ''If our players continue to develop and become what they can become, then we're going to be a comfortable playoff team for years to come. I don't know if we'll be a comfortable playoff team next year. Until those guys reach their potential instead of just having potential, it's not going to happen. You have to do some things to make it happen.
''But my focus is not on wins and losses right now. It still is not. We haven't got there. We haven't gotten to the point of Detroit and Phoenix and Dallas and San Antonio. When we are, then I can worry more about each day and each win and loss. I want to focus on the continued progress of our coaches and players moving in the right direction. I measure success by what I see happening. There are objective measurements, but winning can mask a lot of weakness. What we don't want is a continued succession of mediocrity."
The Celtics' weaknesses were obvious. When Ainge outlined individual summer workout plans for each player, defense topped the list nearly every time. For example, Ainge wants Al Jefferson to focus on defensive lateral movement and be able to defend the perimeter better. Ainge said the same assignment could be handed to Raef LaFrentz. Ainge needs Gerald Green to be able to defend his position and Delonte West to keep point guards in front of him.
But Ainge offered few definitive answers about the future, even though he faces several important deadlines in the coming months. He is operating under the assumption that Rivers will return. He has not heard Rivers so much as hint that he might leave. But Rivers might be working with a slightly modified staff next fall.
With the exception of Tony Brown, contracts for the assistant coaches expire shortly after the June draft. It seems unlikely the coaching staff will come back as currently constituted. When asked about the prospects of Dave Wohl, Jim Brewer, Paul Pressey, and Armond Hill returning next season, Ainge commented generally about coaches ''looking for opportunities to move up the ladder" and ''not all [being] satisfied . . . being in certain roles."
''There's a lot of questions there," said Ainge. ''I'm not sure where we're headed with that, where Doc's headed, and where each of the individual coaches is headed."
By July 1, Ainge must decide if he will exercise the second-year contract options for Ryan Gomes and Orien Greene. Given the contributions made by Gomes as a starter and the generally encouraging steps taken by Greene, it would seem an easy call. ''We're really happy with those guys," Ainge said, although he wants to ''wait and see" what happens with the draft and trades before committing to Gomes and Greene. The free agency negotiation period also begins July 1. Ainge said it is ''unlikely, but not impossible" the Celtics' lone free agent, Michael Olowokandi, will be back.
The decisions with deadlines before the start of next season are somewhat easier for Ainge. By Oct. 31, the Celtics must decide if they will exercise the fourth-year options on Tony Allen, Jefferson, and West.
''With Tony, we obviously need to wait and see what's going on with his legal issues this summer," said Ainge. ''We're optimistic on all that. Delonte and Al, those are absolute no-brainers."
If only all the decisions Ainge had to make concerning personnel were that easy. But beginning with the draft, they are clearly not. Ainge has company when it comes to his uncertainty about how to rank the talent in this year's draft. He remains confident the Celtics will pick up value with their lottery pick, whether they exercise it or trade it.
''The reason people say that is because there's no clear-cut No. 1 player," said Ainge. ''If you were to poll 30 NBA teams, you would probably come up with six or seven different names as to who the No. 1 pick was. It's like most drafts, but just not as top-heavy. One, two, three aren't as dynamic as they usually are. I think you could have 10 or 15 guys or maybe more that could be eventual starters in this league. I don't necessarily think it's a bad draft."
After the draft, Ainge will turn his attention to free agency, though the Celtics are limited. Boston has the midlevel exception (approximately $5 million) and so-called million-dollar exception ($1.75 million) at its disposal, as well as a trade exception to use in a possible deal. Some of the players entering free agency this summer include: Al Harrington, Jason Terry, Nazr Mohammed, Nene, Mike James, Bonzi Wells, Bobby Jackson, David Wesley, Nick Van Exel, Milt Palacio, and Peja Stojakovic. The Celtics would like a veteran who could provide scoring off the bench, preferably a point guard.
''We have our eyes on some, but it's not that simple," said Ainge. ''Typically, the guys that you really want are going to be overpriced and end up somewhere else. They're not really guys where we want to get involved in the chase. But there's trade possibilities that we'll explore. It depends on what we accomplish in the draft. That will determine what we try to do in the free agent market."
As with all things Celtics related, the operative phrase is ''wait and see." But next season, Ainge better have something to show for his efforts this summer.

Neil Young's Film Lounge – My Summer of Love
UK 2004 : Pawel PAWLIKOWSKI : 86 mins
There's much to like in this small-scale tale of teenage lesbian romance, unfolding over the course of one hot, hazy summer in an unspecified (west?) Yorkshire valley. The performances by Emily Press – as working-class Lisa, aka "Mona" – and Nathalie Blunt – as the posher, more affluent Tamsin – are sensitive and accurate, while Paddy Considine makes his usual strong impression as Lisa's born-again-Christian brother Phil. Ryszard Lenczewski's cinematography is suitably dreamy, backed up by evocative music from Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory. All in all a promising package, full of talented contributions, and one that's clearly pleased both critics and audiences – it won the prestigious Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature at the Edinburgh Film Festival, confirming Pawlikowski's position in the front rank of this country's directors after his (superior) Last Resort from 2001.
But I just didn't buy it. There's very little in My Summer of Love that doesn't seem slightly but distractingly false. Before seeing the film I'd been aware that it was based on a novel – and as the story took shape I got the distinct impression that the source material had been written decades ago. It turns out that Helen Cross's book was published as recently as 2001, but is set during the mid-80s Miners' Strike. This perhaps explains the lack of mobile phones or references to the internet in a screenplay (co-written with Michael Wynne) about teenage girls. Cross's novel is apparently very different from this film (which is as it should be) – Pawlikowski jettisoned a serial-killer subplot, and the character of Phil is entirely their invention.
But while Phil's evangelical actions might have fit in with the original 1980s timeframe, they sit awkwardly in a 2003 setting: this area of Yorkshire would almost certainly be much more multicultural than the all-white enclave of Pawlikowski's film, and given current socio-political considerations the erection of a huge, seemingly permanent cross on a hillside would be at best ignorant, at worst crassly provocative. And what are we to make of Phil's stated intention to "claim this valley back." From what? From whom?

First Look at the 2011 NFL Draft: Can a Wide Receiver Really Go Number 1?October 22, 2010
The first six weeks of football is behind us. We have so far seen the good (Steelers), the bad (Panthers), and the ugly (Cowboys). Each team has at least one loss, and the only thing we know for certain is that linebackers and safeties can no longer lay an offensive player out.
(Wait a minute, if they lead with their shoulder pad, then is it OK? Well, I guess we don't even know what a devastating hit means either.)
We can, however, bet that Feb. 6, 2011, somebody will be crowned Super Bowl Champions. We can also bet that Jan. 2, 2011, some team will be on the clock for April's NFL Draft.
The only thing more exciting than watching the BCS scramble to find two one-loss teams to play against each other in the National Championship, so they don't have to send those two unbeatens from Idaho and Texas to the game, is watching NFL teams over-value, over-scout, and put stock into players' 40-yard dashes (whether good or bad.)
You'll end up with an Arian Foster getting undrafted and Darrius Heyward-Bey going top 10. You'll see some guy like Dimitrius Underwood going in round one and Priest Holmes a free agent. It will be no different in 2011. Teams will hit, teams will miss. You'll see many mock drafts, and hundreds of people debating on who is good and who needs work.
It starts now. Here is a preview of where teams might go and who they might pick up come April.
1. Carolina Panthers - A.J. Green, WR, Georgia - This team needs a weapon. Who better than Green? Six-foot-4 and with great speed after catching the ball, Green could be the first wideout going number one in 15 years.
2. Buffalo Bills - Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford - A redshirt sophomore, Luck has the brain and the size that will make him the top quarterback draft pick in 2011.
3. Cleveland Browns - Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State - His size is making scouts drool. He can be an effective pass rusher at an end, or run stopper in a 4-3. Adrian Clayborn may have more of an upside, but the Browns will stick with the Buckeye.
4. Arizona Cardinals - Jake Locker, QB, Washington - Locker would have gone number one if he came out last year. The Cardinals will be happy to get a leader at quarterback as soon as he is drafted.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas - This will be a huge reach and a huge risk. Mallett has the tools and size that make many believe he can be the next Ben Roethlisberger, so the Jaguars won't care taking him with the fifth pick.
6. New England Patriots (from Oak) - Stefen Wisniewski, C, Penn St. - Wisniewski can play guard or center, and with six picks in the first three rounds, New England has plenty of flexibility to play with and it is never afraid to draft a player higher than projected.
7. Dallas Cowboys - DeMarcus Love, OT, Arkansas - Pass blocking is key to a team that seems to not want to run the ball. Love is a great pass blocker and at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, he will provide great strength and physicality to a team that needs it.
8. Cincinnati Bengals - Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa - This team needs a quarterback. With none worthy of the eighth pick, the Bengals will have to go for value. Clayborn can be a pass rushing freak (11 sacks in 2009), and that is one area the Bengals also need.
9. Detroit Lions - Robert Lester, S, Alabama - A ball hawk, he is having a sensational sophomore year. Pin him in next to Louis Delmas, and the Lions will have the best young secondary in the NFL.
10. Denver Broncos - Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M - Miller is not the best tackler (and for a linebacker, that isn't good) but he can get after the quarterback. Denver is lacking production with the loss of Elvis Dumervil. Miller can improve Denver's defense his rookie year.
11. San Francisco 49ers - Akeem Ayers, LB, UCLA - Perhaps he has the biggest upside of all players in this draft. Put Ayers on a defense with Patrick Willis and coach Mike Singletary, and Ayers is set up instantly for success.
12. St. Louis Rams - Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska - The offense is finally clicking, and when Mark Clayton and Donnie Avery get back next year it will be even better, so defense is key. Amukamara serves as a need and value as he is the top xonerback in college football.
13. Miami Dolphins - Mike Pouncey, C, Florida - The team with the wildcat offense could use a versatile player who can play inside or outside on the offensive line.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma - Tampa Bay needs offensive help. Josh Freeman can not win every game throwing the football. Murray is the best running back in college football as of right now, and he will instantly help the offense out.
15. Chicago Bears - Julio Jones, WR, Alabama - This will be a dream come true if the Bears can snag this playmaker in the draft. Jones is tall and has impressive speed, and if Jay Cutler is your quarterback, he will always throw downfield.
16. Washington Redskins - Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia - Dowling is a big cornerback, but can run a 4.45 40, which got a lot of scouts talking first or second round. He'll go here because the Redskins skipped on helping the secondary last draft and he can also play the safety position.
17. San Diego Chargers - Kelvin Sheppard, LB, LSU - The Chargers like to draft LSU players and need a linebacker. Merriman will be out of town and Larry English might not work out. Sheppard can tackle very well and is good in pass coverage, too.
18. New York Giants - Bruce Carter, LB, North Carolina - This player is very disciplined on and off the field. He can be very beneficial anytime he is on the field, both on defense or special teams.
19. Tennessee Titans - Greg Jones, LB, Michigan State - A bit of a reach, and Travis Lewis from Oklahoma might be better here, but Jones is what the Titans are looking for. He is the tackles leader for the Spartans the past two seasons, and is a tremendous pass defender.
20. Houston Texans - Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU - The Texans have the worst pass defense in the NFL. They will be lucky to get a guy of Peterson's talent. It's no secret what the Texans need.
21. Seattle Seahawks - Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina - Robert Quinn has top five talent. He will not see the field, however, in 2010, so look for him to drop. The Seahawks should take a gamble on him because he is, without a doubt, the best player on the board at pick 21.
22. Philadelphia Eagles - Rahim Moore, S, UCLA - Pencil Moore in next to Nate Allen (who is doing quite well as a rookie) and the Eagles will be very good at safety for years to come.
23. New England Patriots - Jared Crick, DT, Nebraska - Since their first pick was on the O-Line, look for them to attack the D-Line with the next pick. Crick might move to defensive end, perfect for the Patriots defense.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers - Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri - The shocker of the draft! He can give this team a long term answer, a quality back-up, or possibly great trade bait if Big Ben gets back on track. They can handle this like Aaron Rogers or Matt Shaub situations, either way.
25. Minnesota Vikings - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado - Teams behind them will be looking for a quality tackle to draft, but Minnesota better take him if they have the chance this late in the draft. This area has been very weak lately for this team.
26. Kansas City Chiefs - Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College - Solder is the best offensive tackle in this draft, but Castonzo is right there with him. Kansas City would probably prefer Castonzo over Solder anyways, since he has experience at right tackle where they need help.
27. Green Bay Packers - LaMichael James, RB, Oregon - Potential Heisman Trophy winner this year, James is consistently making plays well enough where he will move up into the first round.
28. New York Jets - Austin Pettis, WR, Boise St. - All he does is catch touchdowns. The Jets would like to get a player capable of that so they can help Sanchez. Holmes and Edwards both are free agents so maybe this will be a need area at the time of the draft as well.
29. Indianapolis Colts - Deunta Williams, S, North Carolina - They lost Bob Sanders, again, and probably won't bring him back next year. They have all kinds of injuries in the secondary as well, so drafting a player right here will be great insurance. Williams is a solid pick as well.
30. New Orleans Saints - Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech - At times, Williams seems to have carried Virginia Tech on his back. He is an every down back, if that is possible nowadays, but is also a great complimentary back the Saints are looking for.
31. Atlanta Falcons - Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame - The best tight end in this draft will go to the team with the best tight end in NFL history. Gonzalez can play another three years, but just in case he doesn't, if Rudolph falls to pick 31 Atlanta has to jump on him.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson - Put the young guy on a team with a lot of veteran leaders, and he will have a great future. Some think Bowers will be drafted as high as number one overall come April.
The spots here are solely based off of predictions on where these teams will end up at the end of the year. The draft picks are based on team needs and player values. Some players are better than other players at their position, but like all drafts, that is not always the player that is chosen first. The next mock draft will come after two-thirds of the season is over with.

The world has royal baby fever! And Prince William's stepmother just leaked some interesting info on royal baby's due date. Hint: it's very, very soon.
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is married to Prince Charles. As Kate Middleton's stepmother-in-law she is naturally very close to her oldest stepson's wife. Duchess Camilla and Prince Charles were candid with locals about Middleton's delivery date, which could happen at any moment, as they toured the English countryside on Monday.
Local resident Trudi Lindsay chatted with Prince Charles during a stop on the tour. Lindsay brought along her three small children to see Prince Charles, including a 3-week-old infant. When Lindsay remarked to Prince Charles that he would soon get to meet his first grandchild, the royal responded "hopefully" as he laughed.
And while Prince Charles may have only uttered a word, Duchess Camilla was much more forthcoming on royal baby details. "We are all just waiting by the telephone," said Camilla to a crowd who gathered at a hospice. "We are hopeful that by the end of the week he or she will be here."
Royal baby fever is reaching an intense level, with press camped outside St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. Clocks are posted with makeshift labels that say "London Baby Time" while fans are already holding balloons and flowers to congratulate Prince William and Kate Middleton on their first child.
Here's Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, speaking about the royal baby on Monday:

After an extended honeymoon in Mexico with new husband Josh Duhamel, Fergie is hard at work again. The singer is not only prepping for a Black Eyed Peas comeback with the group's upcoming album, The E.N.D.; she's also introducing her very own MAC Viva Glam VI lipstick to raise money for the MAC AIDS Fund.
Fergie dished on the new lipstick, which hits stores March 19, while serving meals for Los Angelenos living with HIV/AIDS as a volunteer for Project Angel Food. "When AIDS first came on the scene, people were initially in a state of
fright and everyone was so careful," said Fergie to E!'s Marc Malkin. "People don't have
that scare anymore. We have to let people know that it is still fatal,
there's no cure and that it is still real."
The newlywed told Women's Wear Daily that she chose a soft, blue-pink shade of lipstick out of all the options presented to her by MAC. "I really wanted people to support the charity, so I wanted it to be an everyday color that people can wear all the time."
Even though Fergie was out doing work for charity, she of course couldn't dodge the baby question! When it did come up, the singer said that she isn't ready to jump into that phase of married life just yet. "I'm not going to be because I'm going on tour. I wouldn't want to do that to the poor child," she told E!. Though plenty of female artists have taken their babies—and baby bumps—on the road successfully, we respect Fergie's decision to wait. We just hope it won't be for too long!

After this week's rumors on the internet, Ubisoft's Creative Director, Clint Hocking, has officially spoken through the company's Developer Blog and dismissed them as being exactly that - rumors.
The rumors were that in Far Cry 2, there will be mutants and players will be gaining mutant powers and properties. Clint Hocking, however, says, no aliens, no mutants or anything alike, and the game will continue to follow the tradition of hardcore reality action. In a nutshell, it means a good old bullet in the forehead will still do the job and send the enemies to their maker (and by that we do not mean the developer).
Also, the rumors that the game will at first be exclusive to PS3 werealso dismissed, so the PC and XboX 360 versions will be out on the same day.
You can check out this official video statement as well as the new trailer here.

But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger Unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn.
The elder sister tried to reason with her. But the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night.
Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: The Elements of Harmony! Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the Moon.
The elder sister took on responsibility for both Sun and Moon, and Harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.

trendiest married couple. They have a taste for extravagant and can be unapologetically snobbish about it.
When a party needs the hottest music in Equestria, there's only one pony to call:

Blaze, Fire Streak, Fleetfoot, High Winds, Lightning Streak, Misty Fly, Rapidfire, Silver Lining, Surprise, and Wave Chill.
Lightning Dust
Boy Bullies
Muscle Pony
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle hoped that by trying a bunch of different things together, they'd get their cutie marks lickety-split! So the three friends formed a secret club
Cutie Mark Crusaders
, whose members were dedicated to trying as many things as possible. Although the fillies have tried many diverse activities, like baking and magic, their cutie marks have yet to reveal themselves. Unfortunately, some intolerant ponies have mocked the young trio for not being able to find their proper vocations yet. Thankfully, wise ponies such as Princess Celestia have encouraged the girls not to lose hope and to keep experiencing as many things as possible.
Sweetie Belle
is a sweet-natured and sometimes spacey Cutie Mark Crusader with big dreams. Her quest for her cutie mark is not her only goal in life: Sweetie Belle longs for the praise and acceptance of her older sister, Rarity. Sweetie Belle has a blossoming talent for singing.
Apple Bloom
is Applejack's little filly sister, and like her name suggests, she is full of potential but has a lot of growing to do. Although she is the leader of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Apple Bloom truly has no idea what she is meant to do or who she is meant to be. As the "head crusader,"she comes up with most of their (unsuccessful) cutie mark missions and spearheads their many (failed) efforts.
In addition to earning her cutie mark,
is determined to learn how to fly. In fact, Scootaloo has fashioned herself a special pony scooter and she uses her Pegasus wings not to fly but to propel her wheeled contraption through the streets of Ponyville! Scootaloo idolizes the adventurous Rainbow Dash and often tries to imitate her "too cool" attitude as well as her athletic skill.
Babs Seed
is a tough-talkin' cousin from Manehattan and the newest member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Other Young Ponies
Diamond Tiara
Silver Spoon

is a zebra who uses her ancient magic to cast healing spells from her enclave deep within the Everfree Forest. The ponies of Ponyville once believed her to be an enchantress who wielded the darkest of magic, but after admitting that they'd misjudged her, they befriended Zecora and often rely on her wisdom.
Chief Thunderhooves
is the wise and proud leader of the buffalo tribe that sought to reclaim Appleoosa from it's pony settlers and repurpose it as a traditional stampeding ground. With the help of a young and agile buffalo named
Little Strongheart
, the tribe was able to come to an agreement with the ponies, allowing the both to share the orchard.
Cranky Doodle Donkey
may be a crotchety old grouch who's reluctant to loosen up, but all that changed when
came around. Matilda met the cranky mule at the Grand Galloping Gala, where he began courting her as his "special friend." Matilda is the only one who's allowed to call him by the nickname "Doodle."
Iron Will
is a muscle-bound minotaur who travels throughout Equestria as an insparational speaker. He loves using his positive mantras and high-octane energy to get ponies up and moving. Iron Will has an enormous ego and often refers to himself in the third person because he loves to hear his own name.
Gustave Le Grand
is a boastful griffon baker who believed his treasured 'eclairs would win first place at the National Dessert Competition. Gustave had some stiff competition from
Mula Mild
and her famous "mousse moose," not to mention
Donut Joe
and his mini city made of donuts known as "Donutopia."
Manny Roar
, a manticore is an intimidating sight with his lion's mane, scorpion's tail, and scaly wings, but but this angry beast ca be all bark and no bite, especially when he is shown a little bit of kindness.
Steven Magnet
, the sea serpent of the river, is quite a testy fellow. When Nightmare Moon cut off part of his mustache, he went into a tizzy. Thankfully, Rarity used her magic to solve the problem, and in return the sea serpent offered himself as a much-needed bridge to the other side.

Our latest JM Weston classic #180 loafer makeup is in Hunter Green. Green has been a very popular color in recent years and we are extremely excited to release the ever so classic #180 loafer in a very non-classic color.
($815.00, shoe trees included)
11 Responses to JM Weston – 180 Loafer in Hunter Green (LSW)
I used to have it but i sold it on ebay, the only problem is how you're going to wear it ?
This color is not easy to match… I prefer to stick with color like black, brown , navy blue or burgundy…….
You're right about that ! But again this is not an easy colour, black colour is a must have it in a wardrobe in my opinion, but there's no doubt about it , it 's a question of taste !
Hi guys. i love this shoe. i wear a size 11.5D in a ferragamo lace up – i have plenty of room. i would be wearing this shoe without socks – i live in Miami. what size would you suggest? what's the sole made of?
hey guys, how can i purchase this shoes?
I've not seen these before, but notice the date stamp is almost two years old. Anymore of them left?

PHOENIX — Four days after Wes Welker had been formally introduced as the newest Broncos wide receiver, Patriots owner Robert Kraft went on the offensive Monday at the NFL's annual meetings.
Kraft said Welker's agent, David Dunn, "over-valued" Welker on the open market. Kraft added he believed the Patriots had offered a better deal for Welker to stay with the Patriots.
In a rare bit of football business transparency from his team, Kraft said Monday the Patriots offered Welker a two-year deal worth "$10 million plus incentives."
Welker signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Broncos that included a $4 million signing bonus to go with a $2 million base salary this season. Next season, Welker will have a $3 million base salary with an additional $3 million bonus.
Kraft said the Broncos' deal was essentially a one-year affair, something the Broncos' decision-makers dispute. Kraft said the Patriots' last offer to Welker would have given $8 million in salary and bonuses to Welker this season.
"We just couldn't give Wes what he wanted," Kraft said. "We, in fact, offered him a better deal."

Be sure to read the libfreenect README carefully to find out how to patch the problem.
I also get people asking me about a Windows external. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen soon. At least unless some kind soul does the work for us, because I just don't have enough time to dedicate to a port.

Colbert defends Romney aide's outburst at 'info-jackals'
Stephen Colbert said on his show Tuesday he didn't see the big deal about Mitt Romney's rash of miscues during his recent overseas trip, like his questioning of British readiness for the Olympics.
"Why is that controversial?" he asked during his Colbert Report monologue. "Every week, Hank Williams Jr. questioned if Americans were ready for some football."
He then stood up for Romney aide Rick Gorka, who was caught telling the press "info-jackals" Tuesday, "Kiss my ass" after the presumptive Republican candidate ignored reporters during his visit to a Pope John Paul II memorial in Poland.
"Yes, show some respect for this man's ass," Colbert said, pointing at a picture of Gorka. "Which is apparently a holy site for the Polish people."
On the bright side, Colbert said, Romney can now scratch three places off the list of "1,000 Places To Offend People Before You Die."
Watch Colbert's take on Gorka's statement, aired July 31, below:

What a game!
The Habs were led to a hard-fought victory by P.K. Subban, who scored two power-play goals, and Carey Price after he made 48 saves on 51 shots on goal.
Is there a better feeling than scoring a double-overtime winner, Subban was asked after the game.
"I'm sure there's a better feeling," the 24-year-old said after pausing to reflect. "Winning the Cup."
CBC Montreal's Andie Bennett was in Boston for the game. Check out the videos for more from Game 1 at TD Garden and listen to Doug Gelevan on CBC Daybreak here:

text: Trapani continues her trademark extensions of beloved nursery tales and songs with this latest, a collection of 14 tongue tanglers. Beginning with the traditional Mother Goose stanzas, Trapani then goes on to add at least one more in the same rhyme and rhythm pattern, seamlessly continuing the story. Dr. Foster's unfortunate trip to Gloucester ends this way: "Docter Foster, frazzled, flustered, / In a flutter flew. / The spill caused a chill, / And the doctor fell ill / With a fever and flu—achoo!" The stand-outs among the lesser-known rhymes include "Cackle, Cackle Mother Goose," about a goose with only enough loose feathers to stuff half a pillow, and "Fiddle Dee Dee," about the marriage of the fly to the bumblebee. A cast of five wonderfully expressive dogs, including the titular Rufus, act out the humorous rhymes. The illustrations are filled with details, including hidden pictures that readers can search for; a list is in the back. Trapani is a staple for young children—don't miss this one. (Picture book. 3-6)

HD DVD players break the US$200 barrier
by David Stellmack on29 October 2007
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Available from Circuit City online right now
Speculation has been rampant that Wal-Mart would be the first to offer a HD DVD player for US$200 or less, but it seems that Circuit City has beat them to the punch, at least in the online world, by offering the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for US$197.99 right now. You can order the player online right now from the Circuit City Web site for the US$197.99 price tag with free shipping, or you can pick it up at your local Circuit City if they happen to have them in stock. Wal-Mart is said to be selling the HD-A2 HD DVD player for $198 starting November 3rd, but some Wal-Mart stores may already have the end cap display up with the new price.
The HD-A2 was launched in December 2006 for a price of US$499 and has already seen two price drops. The HD-A2 was dropped to $399 in April and then to $299 in July. The HD-A2 is part of the current five free HD DVDs promotion, which does give consumers quite a bit of bang for their buck on this second generation HD DVD player. The HD-A2 supports a resolution of 1080i and offers version 1.2 of the HDMI interface. The unit also features the SHARC DSP that supports Dolby Digital Plus 5.1, Dolby TrueHD, DTS 5.1 and DTS HD formats. Reviews of the HD-A2 were generally positive and the features are in step with the third generation units that were announced in August.
Initial reports were that Wal-Mart would attempt to bring in a low cost, sub-$200 HD DVD player for the holiday season. This player was expected to be a cheaply made, low-end model produced in China. It is quite a surprise that the first model HD DVD model to slide in at under US$200 would be a Toshiba. This appears to be quite a victory for the HD DVD camp and if sales of the HD-A2 are strong this could solidify the HD DVD camp's foothold in the HD format wars. Buying a second generation Toshiba HD DVD unit for less than US$200 with five free movies via mail-in could be just the ticket for those who want HD DVD at a reasonable price.
Don't be surprised if this becomes one of the must have gifts for this holiday season. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Toshiba will be able to provide enough units if the demand is as high as expected.

I got out recently for a relatively high mileage weekend trip. My goals were to complete the Quehanna Trail, to test out some wet condition hiking adaptations, and to fine tune my iPhone battery management. My hike took place in mid May, following a week with several inches of rain.
Where and What is Quehanna?
For those of you not familiar with Quehanna, it is an area and trail system in west central PA, in the Moshannon State Forest. The main Quehanna Trail (QT) is roughly oval and is about 75 miles long. There are both West Cross-Connector (WCC) and East Cross-Connector (ECC) Trails that cut off the ends of the oval to make shorter loop hikes possible with no car shuttles. The eastern Quehanna region has quite a few additional trails that create even more possibilities. In winter, it's a nice venue for snowshoe backpacking trips.
Quehanna is mostly a raised plateau, about 1000 feet higher than the surrounding country. As drainages come down off the plateau, fairly steep-sided valleys have been cut over time. The QT ranges from up on top of the plateau, where the hiking can be nice and easy for a bit, to descents down into or ascents up out of the hollows and drafts. There is little or no switchbacking, so the trail is a good workout, though the most you have to go up or down at a time is about 1000 feet of elevation change.
One of the things I love about Quehanna is the variety of ecosystems you pass through, including low scrub, bogs, forest, and open meadows. Water is plentiful and the drainages are often very pretty. Wildlife is abundant, and includes elk, deer, black bear, porcupine, grouse, and turkeys.
Hiking Plan and Gear
To complete the QT, I needed to hike some segments that could all be covered while hiking the 41 mile "Eastern Loop", combining the eastern 31 miles of the main QT oval and the 10-mile ECC. I planned to drive in on a Friday night to a trailhead in the middle of the ECC, hike south on the ECC then counterclockwise on the QT for 27-28 miles over a full day Saturday, then finishing the rest of the QT and northern ECC miles on Sunday, before heading home.
To do this, I needed a light kit and an early start on Saturday, or I'd be night hiking for sure. For a light kit, I used my Murmur Hyperlight Backpack, a minimalist tarp, a poncho groundsheet, and a sleeping quilt rated to 40 degrees. Because temps were predicted to get into the 30's at night, I added a down vest at the last minute and was glad I did. I wanted to have a hot dinner and hot coffee in the mornings, so my cooking system was a simple Esbit tray and titanium windscreen paired with an aluminum greasepot and Reflectix cozy.

I did 2 things with the copyrights in the netpbm package: a) I sorted through all of them, identifying which packages had which copyright statements. This sort is now part of the copyright file in the netpbm package. b) In the process of (a), I identified about 20 programs that had no copyright statement, or some potentially restrictive copyright statement. Then I wrote to all the authors of all those programs that I could find, and have received responses from all that I have written to that they would be willing to place their programs under a free copyright. I had been planning on distributing a new version of netpbm with these fixes: -- put the whole thing under free, with the exceptions of the *togif and any lingering non-free programs. -- add the programs that somehow got missed in the last build The reason I say 'had' is that Frank Neumann advised me (on 4/23) that Ingo Wilken (email@example.com) is preparing to "a new netpbm release containing a lot of bug fixes, enhancements and manual page corrections he has collected over the past years." I immediately wrote to Ingo and offered to help in any way, but I have not heard from him yet. It's probably time now to contact him again. Meantime, I've been spending all my non-real-world-working-time on the debian documentation. Any advice on what to do and/or when to do it would be appreciated.

Australian technology to help tsunami victims
Page Tools
Australian designed technology will be used to help doctors treat victims of the recent tsunami.
A team of 24 doctors, nurses and paramedics will take the technology with them when they leave for Banda Aceh today along with 27 pallets of supplies, drugs and medical equipment.
The system, known as LifeMEDIC, uses mobile telephones, digital cameras and laptop computers to send details of patients and pictures of their injuries to a team of 100 medical specialists on standby in Australia to advise on treatment.
Brisbane plastic surgeon Dr Karen Joughin-Shepherd, from the city's Princess Alexandra Hospital, said while many people in the devastated areas were still in need of primary care, some were at the stage where reconstructive surgery was needed.
"For me it will be a lot of skin grafting and shifting tissue around," Dr Joughin-Shepherd said today.
"The wounds are getting older so I think a lot of the wound care is going to be wounds that had been infected, managed acutely and then might need reconstruction to try to put things back together again."
Dr Joughin-Shepherd said apart from the benefit of quick advice from specialists in Australia the system would be better than keeping medical records on paper, which could easily get lost.
Designer Tom Rosser said the system was the first of its kind in the world using mobile telephones to input data.
He said the doctors in Banda Aceh could quickly enter details of the patient and pictures of their injuries into the system, which had already undergone six months of trial in Australia involving 100 doctors and their patients.
Rosser said military level security would be used for the medical data, which would be sent by satellite link to Australia.
He said the system to be taken to Banda Aceh would use 10 laptop computers and 50 mobile phones, but its use could spread rapidly.
"The United Nations has asked that the system also be used in Sri Lanka on a thousand laptops and 5,000 phones," Rosser said.

Skip to comments.Senate passes financial regulation bill
Posted on 05/20/2010 6:41:26 PM PDT by markomalley
The Senate approved new far-reaching financial rules on Thursday aimed at preventing the risky behavior and regulatory failures that brought the economy to the brink of collapse two years ago and cost millions of Americans their jobs and savings.
The bill passed by a vote of 59 to 39, with four Republicans joining a majority of Democrats in supporting it.
The 1,500-page measure, shepherded through the Senate by Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the banking committee, seeks to reshape both Washington and Wall Street.
They successfully courted Republican Sens. Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine, in part by including in the final bill provisions that each wanted. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) also backed the bill. Equally critical was the last-minute push to win over Scott Brown (R), the Senate's newest member.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
The dow dropped because of the management of the US dollar. THey can lay all the excuses on all the countries, but we know the real reason. Democrats, liberals, socialism.
Have you noticed, freedom is never mentioned by obama. We all knew it. He's pushing commie. It's a FACT!
Isn't there ANYONE in the country who can take down these snakes?
I doubt it. Have alternative plans just in case.
Great post! We need more Americans like you. A++++
Is far-reaching the new term for "unconstitutional", "illegal", "socialist" and/or "power grabbing"?
And what would those steps be? I'm curious since I might want to do the same.
I live in Maine, and I don't want to be part of frickin' Canada!
I hate curling! For what it's worth, I hate Snowe and Collins, too.
>I live in Maine, and I dont want to be part of frickin Canada!
Think you've got it bad?? I'm from canada! I escaped socialism and ended up in Marxism that makes my old country look like Reaganland.
And yesterday it was reported that it didn't pass. These people........REPUBLICANS and communists alike need to be put in front of a firing squad. I'm sorry..but justice MUST be done and lifetime prison sentences IS NOT justice. These people have screwed us and do not have to live by what they relegate to us 'common folk' (although we pay the bill). Our beloved Nation is sinking quickly and diplomacy is DEAD.
On a side note, this evening, while going to the store I was behind a 'hybrid' prius (sp) with an Obama/Biden sticker in the rear window and I became unglued, honking my horn and well making gestures and mouthing words that I shouldn't even know...God help me because honestly, even being female, if the SOB would have gotten out of his vehicle, I would have knocked him in the head (I carry a black jack for self defense). WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE? I don't get it...Honest to God...I don't understand.
Oh, God save us. The Rats are "helping" again.
We must purge these Rinos from our party.
Sorry! I hear New Hampshire is nice! And no curling! ;p
Unfortunately, all those Massholes (Massachusetts residents) that have poured into New Hampshire in recent years have turned the state blue.
Oh well, at least there's no income tax (for now).
Thanks, everybody who sat on your asses on election day in 2008. Feh.
I wonder what it's like in Panama?
I am convinced elected office corrupts just about anyone once they get into office and start liking the power they have.
We have rino supporters here even though they have been told this is a NO RINO Site.

text: The Sanger Institute's first publicly available zebrafish ensembl database was released yesterday at www.ensembl.org/Danio_rerio The zebrafish genome project is a collaboration between the Sanger Institute and the zebrafish community, announced during the Sanger Institute Zebrafish Workshop 2000 and was started in February 2001. One of the two strategies being applied to sequencing the genome is a whole genome shotgun, but an assembly of this data is not yet available. Therefore this Ensembl website uses the sequences derived from a second strategy: clone based sequences from BAC/PAC libraries. This first release is based on a data freeze from January 2002 and comprises 16 Mb (1 percent of the 1.7 Gb zebrafish genome). A DAS server for this sequence is available. When a first assembly is available (~3x coverage, early summer), the finished/unfinished clone sequences will be replaced and a new WGS database will be released. Deeper coverage (up to 10x), improved assembly software, mapping data and more sensitive gene prediction will improve these data. A quarterly update of this database is scheduled. The zebrafish sequencing project is funded by the Wellcome Trust. Additional zebrafish resouces, a trace server, mapping data and information about a clone's status in the sequencing pipeline is available. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dr. Kerstin Jekosch phone +441223494971 Bioinformatics fax +441223494919 Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA, UK kj2 at sanger.ac.uk ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

|Petition Information
|Petition Title
|Initial Agency Notice
|Date Filed
|Matthew C. Pauls
|Petitioner's Request
The petitioner is requesting that the Board consider creating an exception to the Board's current education requirements to sit for the Uniform CPA exam, and to obtain a license to practice public accountancy in Virginia. The exception would be for those individuals who study the subject on their own (i.e., individuals would be able to "read for the CPA license" just as individuals are able to "read for the bar").
|Agency's Plan
The Board will submit the petition for publication in the Virginia Register for a 21-day public comment period. The Board will initially review the petition at its meeting on October 24, 2006. Once the public comments have been reviewed, the Board will take up the matter again at its next meeting to make an agency decision.
|Comment Period
|Ended 11/20/2006 0 comments
|Agency Decision
|Take no action
|Response Date
|Agency Decision Summary
It is well established and accepted that formal education in accounting and related subjects provides valuable knowledge, skills, and abilities for the practice of public accounting that are not provided consistently by on-the-job experience. All states require formal education to be licensed as a certified public accountant (CPA), and formal education has been consistently included in the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA) promulgated by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). Also, because all other states require formal education, Virginia CPAs without formal education would not be able to practice in other states under substantial equivalency provisions in state statutes. Therefore, a regulatory change cannot be proposed by the Board.

"Good creepy episode."
Story is a bit confusing at times, but not in a bad way. Just enough to give you a creepy sense of "what is going on". Unpredictability is sadly somewhat rare in these T Z episodes. So I liked this one. A lot.

The 24 live BBC Olympics channels will be available through the Electronic Programme Guide, or via the BBC Red Button.
For TiVo customers the BBC Red Button service will take advantage of the service's IP connectivity and will be enhanced with an exhaustive catch-up offering allowing viewers to catch up on key moments of the games at a time of their choosing.
For die-hard Olympic fans looking for even more immersion, in addition to the regular coverage, Virgin Media will also be bringing its customers Olympics content in 3D courtesy of BBC and Eurosport 3D.
The BBC will be showing the opening and closing ceremonies in 3D, alongside selected live events and daily highlights in 3D.
Due to launch July 27, Eurosport 3D will broadcast a mix of around eight hours of live coverage in 3D alongside four hours of each day's main highlights and to provide the most comprehensive 3D coverage of the Games on UK television.

Samsung wants to slash SSD prices by 2020, with a 512GB drive matching the price of a 1TB HDD today. Samsung will need to cut prices by nearly 70% if it wants to pull that off.
Samsung has unveiled new M.2 SSD drives that break new records for overall performance while increasing storage capacities.
Seagate Technology has taken the wraps off of an unbelievable 60TB solid state drive at the Flash Memory Summit in Silicon Valley.
NAND flash had some hiccups this year, with a number of issues and concerns related to best practices and enterprise deployments. These problems, however, largely represent growing pains — not the end of the industry as some have claimed.
IBM has a new idea for improving CPU performance and removing heat — while providing power at the same time.
Intel unveiled its new Optane line of SSDs at IDF this week, with a focus on high performance and endurance. The drives should be shipping to the consumer market in 2016.
Samsung has built the world's largest storage device — the 16TB PM1633a. Don't let the name fool you, this drive smashes all previous capacity records.
Samsung has announced a new type of V-NAND, with three bits per cell and 48 layers per chip. The company wants to make terabyte-class SSDs much more popular than they currently are, in both data centers and for home use.
Traditional planar NAND flash has had a long and illustrious run, but its time is over. Multiple manufacturers have announced they have no plans to pursue 2D NAND below the 15nm process node.
The price gap between hard drives and solid state drives continues to narrow, but that doesn't mean its going away anytime soon. Expect plenty of spinning disks to ship through 2017.

In 1986, Michael Jackson appeared in the 4-D Disney ride, Captain EO.

The short film has become a legend in pop culture and Disney lore. TheGeekTwins have a few interesting facts most people don't know about the production.

EOITwJ doesn't mean to harsh your mellow if you're having a bad day, but we're having some very good days here. It may be mostly the weather that's suffusing us with contentment and feelings of well-being, and to that we say, "shine on!" No meditation or psychotics are involved (最高~~!). Nor aura therapy.
Ahhhh, the Japanese obsession with...well, whatever. In the case of Budoya it's clearly an obsession with curry, and it's led to product that's fresh, unique, tasty and affordable. This has gone straight to the top of the list of places to go back to if we ever lift the restriction on repeat-venue lunching (although with Spring vacation now locked in at 19 workdays away, it seems like it's probably a worthwhile goal to hold out until then. Certainly no lack of outlets for that particular urge.).
If you've been reading all week, you'll know that this is the place that turned the team away on Tuesday. Because they ran out of rice. The owner remembered that today, apologized, and laughed when asked if they still had rice. Seems like this older, slightly hippie couple run the place (they both have gray ponytails, which in Japan is more than enough to justify the description) - do they love curry? Do they just find it relaxing?
Fer sure they've set up the shop in a very relaxing way; in fact I'm inescapably reminded of 'Japanese mountain resort', e.g., Karuizawa. There's a lot of wood, communal tables, some old license plates, a small bundle of pheasant tail feathers, and an open kitchen. The windows were open and it was breezy; after eating Zone and I camped on the benches by the window and talked to the owners. They brought the chai over there, and it was good. The jewel was in the lotus.
The food is definitely curry. It's thick, rich and vibrant - both in color and taste - in ways that you don't find in other Indian restaurants. Including in Bombay. But I think this represents their own unique vision of what Indian food should be like. Zone and I stuck mostly with the veg curries (and you know, it's rare to find that in Japan, isn't it?). To remind you that you're not in Kansas, there was no dhal; the bean curry was chick peas. The eggplant curry was tomatoey, and the okra curry was spicy and oily. Since I became an overnight expert on curry-making (irony alert) courtesy of the lovely and hopefully-new-mothered Malika, I would guess that the odd flavor in these curries is due to an improper balance of spices and/or adding the dry spices to a wet mixture. They don't taste that integrated, but they do taste very good in their very own way. A return visit is very desirable.
Other people were turned away today before 1 PM. Make sure you get there not-too-late.
