VIDEO: Nerlens Noel scores 19 in his Summer League debut
ORLANDO, Fla. — You'd probably figure that after all the work, all the wait, all the anticipation of finally getting back out onto the court to play a game, the first thing Nerlens Noel would want to do is simply pick up the ball and jam it through the hoop.
So it he did.
It was just 20 seconds into his first summer league game, on his first offensive possession when Noel turned and made his first basket for the 76ers a resounding slam dunk.
"Oh yes, definitely," Noel said. "It helped the jitters. It set the tone for the game. I was confident."
He was also ready, active and rather effective playing his first real game in almost 1 1/2 years, following surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Noel shot 6-for-11 from the field, scored 19 points and made four steals in just over 26 minutes of an 83-77 loss to the Magic.
"It's very validating," Noel said. "It's been 18 months since I was able to play and it felt great today. I didn't do as much as I wanted to as far as rebounding and being active defensively. That will come through as I build more stamina, able to be more active and it felt good.
"No mental blocks. It's been 18 months out. I haven't been thinking about the knee for a long time. I'm definitely going to continue to work to get it stronger, strong as possible."
Noel moved smoothly around the court, showed off some slick moves around the basket and was not at all reluctant to get down onto the floor for loose balls.
The 6-foot-11 center was the consensus choice for the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft until suffering the knee injury on Feb. 12 of his only season playing college ball at Kentucky. His stock dropped on draft night until Noel was chosen No. 6 by New Orleans and promptly traded to Philly for Jrue Holiday.
"I'm a Philadelphia 76er," Noel said. "I'm not focused on what happened on draft night. I'm just going forward and gonna continue to grow as a player, person and leader for this team. It motivates me for rehab, but I'm here, I'm a 76er and that's all I'm focused on."
Sixers assistant Lloyd Pierce, who heads up the summer league team, was impressed with the long-awaited debut by Noel.
"One of the scary things with him is he had a couple of steals in the pick and roll coverage," Pierce said. "That was one of the things I stressed early in the week: How would Nerlens do in the pick and roll coverage?
"He's got great hands…We want him to be athletic. But we want him to stay disciplined in the scheme. He's got great timing as a defender and you saw some of that tonight."
After waiting so long to finally get a glimpse of a player the Sixers believe will be a foundation for the future, the NBA world also saw an impressive array of offensive moves. He was especially impressive on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter. First, he caught the eye of forward Hollis Thompson in transition, took a pass just over mid court and drove through traffic for a nice layup, was fouled and converted the three-point play.
"I'm a little quicker than most big men," Noel said. "I definitely saw the big man lagging back, so with my first step I was able to get by to my left and and at the end he wasn't able to wrap me up and I was able to finish the play," Noel said.
The next time down the floor, Noel scored on a feathery teardrop shot from about eight feet.
"I've got a lot of reps on those as well," he said. "I think that's gonna be big part of my game as well. I'm just expanding my game."
That expansion included a perfect 7-for-7 night on free throws, the product of a totally reconstructed shooting stroke. He shot just 52.9 percent from the line at Kentucky and team president Sam Hinkie joked last year that 60 percent would a good goal.
"Yeah, I'm real happy," Noel said. "But I can't get too happy. It's a long road ahead of me and I've got to stay focused and keep working to get better and better. It's no time to celebrate now."

Brought this from Lowes at a reduced rate of $8.50 in February 2012.
Can still see it in the background.
Still doing OK, but I saw one of these pretty much the same size in Home Depot for $19 so my bargain reduced down to $9 wasnt so impressive.
Quite happy with this, looks like its taken to its position quite well.
This went into a space that was recently freed up by part of a hedge dying. Hopefully it will grow and fill out. It is otherwise perfectly sized for the space.

text: I noticed a few news reports on Intel/AMD considering the Clearspeed co-processor. Looks like a fairly interesting widget, here's an Intel/Clearspeed paper that describes it: http://www.clearspeed.com/downloads/Intel%20Math%20Kernel%20whitepaper.pdf Some interesting snippets on the Clearspeed advance board: * 192 pipelines, 2 flops per clock (not fused), 250 MHz, peak 96GFlops (I believe this is for 2 chips) * 50 GFlops sustained with the DGEMM kernel * 1 GB of ram per board. * 128 registers per PE, register file allows 3 reads 2 writes per clock * 1.44 MB of SRAM that can deliver one word per FP op per clock. * 800MB/sec over pci-x, enough for 50 GFlops on DGEMM. * Less than 10 watts while sustaining 25 GFlops * 1-D complex FFTs of 1024 elements @ 400k per second (20 GFlops with 32-bit), but only 1/4th of that streaming because of pci-x bottlenecks. * 12 GFlops when running 2-d FFTs (512x512 single precision) that are resident on board (in the 1GB) In any case it looks like an interesting development. Speaking of which, what is the double precision peak rate of today's p4 and opteron? One 128 bit SSE operation every other cycle (so 1 64 bit flop per cycle)? I believe Intel mentioned doubling this rate at IDF (shipping sometime in the 2nd half of this year). -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis

Connection handling attributes specify the broker address to which to connect and, if required, how to detect connection failure and attempt reconnection. They are summarized in Table 18–1.
The most important connection handling attribute is imqAddressList, which specifies the broker or brokers to which to establish a connection. The value of this attribute is a string containing a broker address or (in the case of a broker cluster) multiple addresses separated by commas. Broker addresses can use a variety of addressing schemes, depending on the connection service to be used (see Configuring Connection Services) and the method of establishing a connection:
mq uses the broker's Port Mapper to assign a port dynamically for either the jms or ssljms connection service.
mqtcp bypasses the Port Mapper and connects directly to a specified port, using the jms connection service.
mqssl makes a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection to a specified port, using the ssljms connection service.
http makes a Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) connection to a Message Queue tunnel servlet at a specified URL, using the httpjms connection service.
https makes a Secure Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTPS) connection to a Message Queue tunnel servlet at a specified URL, using the httpsjms connection service.
These addressing schemes are summarized in Table 18–2.
The general format for each broker address is
where scheme is one of the addressing schemes listed above and address denotes the broker address itself. The exact syntax for specifying the address varies depending on the addressing scheme, as shown in the "Description" column of Table 18–2. Table 18–3 shows examples of the various address formats.
In a multiple-broker cluster environment, the address list can contain more than one broker address. If the first connection attempt fails, the Message Queue client runtime will attempt to connect to another address in the list, and so on until the list is exhausted. Two additional connection factory attributes control the way this is done:
imqAddressListBehavior specifies the order in which to try the specified addresses. If this attribute is set to the string PRIORITY, addresses will be tried in the order in which they appear in the address list. If the attribute value is RANDOM, the addresses will instead be tried in random order; this is useful, for instance, when many Message Queue clients are sharing the same connection factory object, to prevent them from all attempting to connect to the same broker address.
imqAddressListIterations specifies how many times to cycle through the list before giving up and reporting failure. A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of iterations: the client runtime will keep trying until it succeeds in establishing a connection or until the end of time, whichever occurs first.
Because enhanced clusters are self-configuring (see Cluster Configuration Properties and Connecting Brokers into an Enhanced Cluster), their membership can change over time as brokers enter and leave the cluster. In this type of cluster, the value of each member broker's imqAddressList attribute is updated dynamically so that it always reflects the cluster's current membership.
By setting certain connection factory attributes, you can configure a client to reconnect automatically to a broker in the event of a failed connection. For standalone brokers or those belonging to a conventional broker cluster (see Conventional Clusters in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Technical Overview), you enable this behavior by setting the connection factory's imqReconnectEnabled attribute to true. The imqReconnectAttempts attribute controls the number of reconnection attempts to a given broker address; imqReconnectInterval specifies the interval, in milliseconds, to wait between attempts.
If the broker is part of a conventional cluster, the failed connection can be restored not only on the original broker, but also on a different one in the cluster. If reconnection to the original broker fails, the client runtime will try the other addresses in the connection factory's broker address list (imqAddressList). The imqAddressListBehavior and imqAddressListIterations attributes control the order in which addresses are tried and the number of iterations through the list, as described in the preceding section. Each address is tried repeatedly at intervals of imqReconnectInterval milliseconds, up to the maximum number of attempts specified by imqReconnectAttempts.
Note, however, that in a conventional cluster, such automatic reconnection only provides connection failover and not data failover: persistent messages and other state information held by a failed or disconnected broker can be lost when the client is reconnected to a different broker instance. While attempting to reestablish a connection, Message Queue does maintain objects (such as sessions, message consumers, and message producers) provided by the client runtime. Temporary destinations are also maintained for a time when a connection fails, because clients might reconnect and access them again; after giving clients time to reconnect and use these destinations, the broker will delete them. In circumstances where the client-side state cannot be fully restored on the broker on reconnection (for instance, when using transacted sessions, which exist only for the duration of a connection), automatic reconnection will not take place and the connection's exception handler will be called instead. It is then up to the client application to catch the exception, reconnect, and restore state.
By contrast, in an enhanced cluster (see High-Availability Clusters in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Technical Overview), another broker can take over a failed broker's persistent state and proceed to deliver its pending messages without interruption of service. In this type of cluster, automatic reconnection is always enabled. The connection factory's imqReconnectEnabled, imqAddressList, and imqAddressListIterations attributes are ignored. The client runtime is automatically redirected to the failover broker. Because there might be a short time lag during which the failover broker takes over from the failed broker, the imqReconnectAttempts connection factory attribute should be set to a value of -1 (client runtime continues connect attempts until successful).
Automatic reconnection supports all client acknowledgment modes for message consumption. Once a connection has been reestablished, the broker will redeliver all unacknowledged messages it had previously delivered, marking them with a Redeliver flag. Client applications can use this flag to determine whether a message has already been consumed but not yet acknowledged. (In the case of nondurable subscribers, however, the broker does not hold messages once their connections have been closed. Thus any messages produced for such subscribers while the connection is down cannot be delivered after reconnection and will be lost.) Message production is blocked while automatic reconnection is in progress; message producers cannot send messages to the broker until after the connection has been reestablished.
The Message Queue client runtime can be configured to periodically test, or "ping," a connection, allowing connection failures to be detected preemptively before an attempted message transmission fails. Such testing is particularly important for client applications that only consume messages and do not produce them, since such applications cannot otherwise detect when a connection has failed. Clients that produce messages only infrequently can also benefit from this feature.
The connection factory attribute imqPingInterval specifies the frequency, in seconds, with which to ping a connection. By default, this interval is set to 30 seconds; a value of -1 disables the ping operation.
The response to an unsuccessful ping varies from one operating-system platform to another. On some platforms, an exception is immediately thrown to the client application's exception listener. (If the client does not have an exception listener, its next attempt to use the connection will fail.) Other platforms may continue trying to establish a connection to the broker, buffering successive pings until one succeeds or the buffer overflows.

Here's one you cocktail geeks mighta missed.
I haven't been watching this season of the HBO show Treme because we didn't pick up HBO when we moved to Brooklyn. Apparently, though, the 3rd season has featured a couple of bars that should be familiar to anyone who's been to Tales of the Cocktail or otherwise sought out good drinking in New Orleans — namely the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone, and the French 75 Bar at Arnaud's.
But you don't need to subscribe to HBO to learn more. The excellent blog "Inside Treme" is an official HBO production, written by Lolis Eric Elie, who's a lifelong New Orleanian, journalist, and story editor for Treme. Elie features the Carousel and the French 75 in a couple of his posts. Both are worth a read, even if you don't watch the show:
Will Elie delve any deeper into the world of cocktail blogging? For his sake, I certainly hope not, but you might check back to "Inside Treme" from time to time to be sure.

We are a young team of people - energetic, positive, flamboyant - with a bit of street cred.
We work with a large number of celebrities - including P!NK..
Although we operate under strict business/charity guidelines, our programs are attitudes-based - in that we try to get away from the 'authoritative' role, and help young people make informed choices for their future without forcing them to comply to a regimented approach. We believe that every person deserves a chance - and intend to aid young people at risk - and those that have already found themselves in Juvenile Justice.
We also promote humane values around the treatment of animals - they play a large role in our programs that promote empathy and respect for all living things - including people and the environment.
Target Audience is quite broad.
On one level, we need to appeal to young people - particularly the children and youths from disadvantaged backgrounds - youths that may have broken the law etc.
General public - corporate sponsors, celebrities, media, and schools.
The sub-text options for under the logo include:
'Paving the way for a brighter future'..
'Helping young people reach their full potential'..
'Promoting kindness and respect'...
Designers can incorporate any of these quotes in the logo design - but we will also require options that contain the logo ONLY as well.
We need a logo that we can print on jumpers, hoodies, baseball caps, banners for events etc. Many of our big events will be linked to the performing arts - breakdancing, hip hop, singing etc..
We are appealing to a market that spans from children, to teens, to celebrities, to corporate sponsors. In saying that, the school aged children and teens are the main groups we are appealing to in terms of the logo - they will be the group that will most likely wear the logo on merchandise.

Lee Brice, 'Hard to Love' – Lyrics Uncovered
The lyrics to Lee Brice's new single and title track to his latest album, 'Hard to Love,' were penned by talented songwriters Ben Glover, Billy Montana and John Ozier. The three writers crafted the tune in Rosemary Beach, Fla., a place where, for some reason, their creative minds always seem to be in overdrive.
"We've written a ton of songs that have gotten cut there, so there must be some sort of magic down there!" Glover tells Taste of Country with a laugh. "Basically, we all got to talking about being dudes. Billy has been married a long time, and I've been married for 10 years. We were both talking about how we are not great husbands some of the times [laughs]! We thought we'd write a classic song about dudes saying, 'You know I'm kind of a pain in the ass.' We said, 'Let's just talk about ourselves in the song … that should be easy!'"
"I'm hard to love, hard to love / I don't make it easy / I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood / I'm hard to love, hard to love / You say that you need me / I don't deserve it but I love that you love me good," they wrote in the song's chorus.
"We literally wrote it in two and a half hours," recalls Glover. "We just said, 'What are we? I'm insensitive and I say stupid things.' People always write songs about guys apologizing, so this one we wrote saying how it is."
"I am insensitive / I have a tendency / To pay more attention to the things that I need / Sometimes I drink too much / Sometimes I test your trust / Sometimes I don't know why you're staying with me," they wrote in the 'Hard to Love' opening lyrics.
"Lee is just really a talent … he really is," Glover says, praising the chart-topping singer. "He's so good. I'm excited about this song, and I'm just thrilled to be a part of it. I feel like we sort of lucked into this one."

Garth Brooks Wins $226K Lawsuit Against Former Employee
A jury decided that the money Garth Brooks gave to longtime Red Strokes Entertainment CEO Lisa Sanderson was a loan, meaning she'll need to repay $226,000 to the singer.
After Thursday's verdict was read, Sanderson said she did "absolutely not" have the money to repay him.
The sum includes interest from the last six years, legal fees and collection costs, according to the Tennessean. Sanderson relied on a verbal agreement she said she made with Brooks, but documents backed up his claim that he expected repayment.
"The money was handed over, the documents call it a loan. That's just the way it works," the jury's foreman said in explaining the seven-person group's decision. They also denied Sanderson's claim for retirement benefits after Red Strokes (Brooks' television and movie production company) closed in 2010. Again, she had no legal documentation.
Many emails and letters passed between the parties referred to the money as a loan, and the singer himself testified that he went into great detail about a repayment plan.
A pre-trial memorandum prepared by Sanderson's lawyers stated that Brooks was so concerned about her son's welfare that he agreed she would never need to repay him. His attorneys conceded to handing her generous gifts in the past, including three separate gifts at $10,000 and one charter flight to Memphis (valued at $19,000) after her father suffered a heart attack.
The case was decided before U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger in Nashville.

A Massachusetts-built robotic submarine has begun cruising thousands of feet beneath the Indian Ocean in search of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The Bluefin-21 robot, made by Bluefin Robotics Inc. of Quincy, is using sonar to scour the ocean floor for the Boeing 777 aircraft, which went missing on March 7.
The robot was deployed to Australia three weeks ago by the undersea salvage company Phoenix International Holdings Inc. But because of the battery-powered robot's slow speed and limited range, it could not be put to work until rescue workers had narrowed down the search area.
Earlier this month Chinese and Australian ships detected sonar pings like those broadcast by a downed aircraft's data recorder in an area about 1,400 miles northwest of the Australian city of Perth. More pings were detected three days later, but no more have been heard, and the recorders' batteries, designed to last about 30 days, are probably dead.
During a press briefing Monday, Angus Houston, the Australian official in charge of the search, said the time had come to launch the robots.
"This is the best lead that we have and it must be pursued vigorously," said Houston. "This will be a slow and painstaking process."
The Bluefin-21 can dive to 15,000 feet and cruise up to 3.5 miles per hour. The robotic sub carries side-scanning sonars on either side of its hull. The sub sails back and forth above the seafloor in a "lawnmower" pattern sending out sonar signals and recording the echoes. By analyzing the echoes, computers can draw a three-dimensional image of the ocean floor that may reveal the presence of sunken wreckage.
However, with ocean depths in the search area at roughly 12,000 to 13,000 feet, Bluefin-21 will be getting close to its diving limit.
"They're right at the hairy edge of where they can operate," David Gallo, director of special projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which has offered searchers the use of its own robot, Remus, in the search.
Gallo said that some seafloor depressions in the area go as deep as 6,000 meters, or about 20,000 feet. The Remus 6000 was built for that kind of depth, but not the Bluefin-21.
Bluefin Robotics is a subsidiary of the Battelle Memorial Institute Inc., a non-profit research and development corporation based in Columbus, Ohio. The company makes a variety of self-guided underwater robots used for scientific research, oil and gas exploration and military applications, such as minesweeping and seaborne reconnaissance.
Houston said it takes the submarine two hours to dive to the correct depth and 16 hours to survey the area. Downloading and analyzing the recorded data takes another four hours. If it picks up likely targets, the Bluefin-21 can return to that location and shoot pictures with a high-resolution digital camera.
The robot's first day reconnaissance will cover about 15 square miles — a fraction of the 18,000 square miles now being searched by surface ships and aircraft. On the other hand, the Bluefin-21 can work around the clock, because day and night don't matter in the deep ocean.
"Weather permitting, you can go 24 hours a day," said David Kelly, Bluefin's chief executive.
Phoenix International has only one Bluefin-21 at its disposal, and the Bluefin doesn't have others it can send.
"There's not a huge inventory of vehicles sitting idle that can be mobilized and brought to bear," Kelly said.
In 2011, a trio of WHOI's Remus 6000 submarines were used to find the wreckage of Air France Flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009. Gallo said that his organization has not, so far, been asked to join the search. But he added that if searchers are very close to the location of the data recorders, one submarine may be enough.
"I think that they're so confident in the spot that they've got everything that they need," Gallo said.Hiawatha Bray can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeTechLab.

The forlorn climate campaign has become the New York Yankees of the Power Line Green Weenie Award—winning the big prize over and over again on account of a bloated payroll of big egos, yet winning little affection from the people at large. Way back at the beginning of this month—seems like a long time now to go back to before the first Romney-Obama debate doesn't it—the UN's top climate change official, Christiana Figueres (don't worry: I'd never heard of her either), told a Washington audience that climate skepticism was on the wane in the United States, and that the next president, whoever he is, will be forced to confront global warming.
Then came the four debates between the two tickets, when the Most Important Issue of Our Time/Greatest Crisis Facing Humanity, etc, was mentioned . . . not once. Don't think the Green Weenies didn't notice. And they are . . . dismayed! "Totally freaking out" is probably a more accurate description. The Center for American Progress huffs that both candidates try to outdo each other on who will drill more aggressively for hydrocarbons. Our friends at the Guardian ran a puff piece on the Green Party candidate Jill Stein accusing President Obama of being a "climate denier."
On the eve of the third and final presidential debate, the Green party's Jill Stein said Obama's failure to speak out about environmental concerns made him virtually identical to Republicans who deny the human causes of global warming.
The absence of climate change from the elections, after a year of record temperatures, wildfires and drought, has hugely frustrated environmental campaigners. . .
Stein . . . said Obama was "another climate denier who basically sold out with just a little bit of window dressing."
But the climate campaigners are most disappointed with the media, who have Let Them Down. And really, who can blame the climateers? What good is a lapdog mainstream media if they won't carry water for you any more? But that's what's happened: the media have grown bored with climate apocalypticism, as they eventually do with most forms of Green Doom Flavor of the Month. (Isn't "Green Doom" a Ben and Jerry's blend?) Newspaper endorsements are ignoring climate change, the frantic folks at Grist.org have found, noting that in 2008 climate got a lot of love from editorial writers. The biggest wound of all came from CNN's otherwise egregious Candy Crowley, who explained after the debate:
I had that question for all of you climate change people. We just, you know, again, we knew that the economy was still the main thing so you knew you kind of wanted to go with the economy.
"All of you climate change people." She might just as well have said it right out loud: "You annoying losers." Philip Bump of Grist provides the best comedy styling about this remark: "It's impossible to not read into Crowley's comment some dismissiveness." Ya think??
Shikha Dahmia at Reason.com has the best summary headline of the matter: "Last Night's Presidential Debate Proves That Al Gore's Life Has Been In Vain." She notes the subject of climate change has been part of every presidential debate going back to 1988; even Dan Quayle (insert obligatory shudder here if you are from Manhattan) said "the greenhouse effect is an important environmental issue." She cites Evan Lehman of Environment and Energy (subscription required unfortunately):
This is the first time since 1988 that climate hasn't been mentioned in the presidential debate cycle, Johnson of Climate Silence said in a post that provides partial transcripts to the contests. Back then, Republican vice presidential candidate Dan Quayle said, "the greenhouse effect is an important environmental issue."
In 2008, Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) discussed efforts to reduce emissions in three debates, including in one presided over by last night's moderator, Bob Schieffer. Their running mates also talked about it, with Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) touching on the dangers faced by her home state.
