What's Denver Missing in Timofey Mozgov?
July 10, 2012 7 Comments
When it looked more and more like Carmelo Anthony was going to be traded to the New York Knicks instead of the New Jersey Nets last February, there was much consternation in Gotham and the Mile High City over exactly what the teams would exchange. Danilo Gallinari was New York's main attraction. He was going to Denver regardless. Then Knicks' starting point guard Raymond Felton was floated as being part of the deal along with swingman Wilson Chandler. Denver smartly drew the process out to the very end of the trade deadline, expertly pitting Mikhail Prokhorov's New Jersey Nets against the Knicks for 'Melo's services. Masai Ujiri famously "pushed the goalposts" back for New York to cross. He knew they were all-in for Carmelo. Just as the trade was going to be completed, Ujiri requested that 24 year-old Russian 7-foot center, Timofey Mozgov, be included. The Knicks had reached their breaking point. Until they didn't.
A New Team:
At one point during Denver's second game together following the trade's completion against the Portland Trailblazers, 'Timo' as he is known, completed a nifty and-1 in the paint. He showed upper body strength and touch around the rim I never knew he had. I quickly exclaimed on Twitter that he deserved a real chance at starting for the Nuggets during the upcoming season.
He continued this solid play through the end of the 2011 season and into the playoffs. When the lockout finally lifted, Timofey found himself in the starting unit for Denver's season-opener the day after Christmas against the Mavericks. Alongside Nene Hilario, Denver's beast (finally) at power forward, the Nuggets were going to have one of the most imposing front-lines in the NBA. This was the way to win a title in the Association without a "superstar". Build a physically imposing, highly-skilled front court that could just as easily matchup with the oversized Lakers and Bulls as it could the quicker Thunder, Clippers, and Grizzlies. Until Mozgov got hurt. And then Nene got hurt. And then Gallo. Every single member of Denver's front court, listed at 6-foot-10 and above, was out at one point due to injury. And any and all well-intentioned plans were abandoned. Nene was traded for JaVale McGee. Mozgov came back healthy, but, having lost his starting role to Kosta Koufos and backup role to McGee, couldn't find his confidence or his way. Gallo came back healthy and, having lost his only reliable pick-and-roll partner in Nene, precipitously regressed to an isolation and post-scorer. In one fell-swoop, Denver went from near-contender to JaVale McGee punchline. It was neither pretty, nor fluid.
Through all this, however, Nuggets' brass held onto the Russian big man. I have continually chirped on Twitter that 'Mozzy' is one of Denver's most-skilled players. This has fallen mostly on deaf ears. In my previous post I reiterated this point and faced a pretty harsh backlash for it. According to those allegedly smarter than myself, Mozgov's skill level is nowhere near tops on this team. So, I decided to do some research and see if I could in any way back up my "nonsensical" claims. The findings were interesting to say the least.
The Beginning:
At one point during the playoffs, when the Indiana Pacers were playing the Miami Heat, I marveled at how Indiana was built. They get it, I said. They get it. David West and Roy Hibbert were the perfect pairing in the front court to build around. Indeed, Indiana did get it. Larry Bird won the executive of the year award just four days later, as voted on by a panel of his peers. They didn't have a star. They didn't lead the league in jersey sales. They weren't noteworthy on 'Inside the NBA'. Whether intentional or not, Larry Legend modeled his team after what Sam Presti had done with the Spurs in San Antonio; reliable horses at center/power forward, a quick, strong point guard, and steady, tough bench production. Memphis and Chicago were built in similar ways. Denver was almost on that path.
The template had been set. And Indiana was living proof. How amazing was it? Less than a year prior, people were actually discussing the prospect of contracting Larry Bird's Pacers from the NBA altogether. Now they were on the verge of pushing the Miami Heat, and title favorite, out of the playoffs entirely. The NBA is a tricky place. And Larry Bird had mastered it.
The Breakthrough:
I kept observing Roy Hibbert. Rewinding and pausing and rewinding and pausing, until I started to get dizzy. I watched his off-ball movement on offense, and his shield, cover, and retrieval on defense. He was almost a defensive savant. I then made the ghastly pronouncement on Twitter that there was no reason Mozgov couldn't do what Hibbert had exhibited in Indiana. Roy Hibbert wasn't doing anything spectacular. He was merely playing fundamentally sound basketball.
Then I delved into the numbers. My curiosity was first piqued by Mozgov's seemingly effortless penchant for knocking down a high percentage of free-throws. Coming from a 7-footer, hitting upwards of seventy-percent from the stripe is no small feat. Then I saw his shooting percentages from the field, and the murmurs got a little bit louder. Then I looked at his per-36 minutes statistics, and a warm glow began resonating from my temple. This guy is being as ill-used as Nene. Except where Nene was out of position, Mozgov wasn't seeing the floor.
I decided to dig deeper. Since 1946-47, there have been twenty-two players measuring 7-feet or taller shoot 68-percent from the free-throw line, greater than 50-percent from the floor, and play at least 1200 minutes. Timofey Mozgov is one of them. Roy Hibbert is not. Names of those who did make the list? Yao Ming, Rik Smits, Bill Cartwright, Pau Gasol, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, Robert Parish, Hakeem Olajuwon, Andrew Bynum, Dikembe Mutombo, and Tree Rollins. There are a few other names. All of them just as impressive. The fact that Timo is putting up these numbers without a structured offense run through him (or anyone, for that matter) is the most impressive thing of all.
Small sample size? Absolutely. No argument. But it's not as small as you think. Especially when considering his fifty-five games in Denver have seen slow, steady, measured improvement. Consider the improvement you'd see if he was actually granted the minutes Denver's other "energy" guys get. Imagine the improvement you'd see if Mozgov was in a system where his half-court game could develop and flourish, instead of one where it's always "go-go-go". Timo played most of his rookie year in New York under Mike D'Antoni, where a prototypical center is often not necessary. For this reason, among others, Mozgov's shooting numbers didn't reach their ultimate potential. George Karl and Mike D'Antoni have similar coaching philosophies for sure, as both prefer a running style. Where the two differ, however, is Karl allows his players more freedom to play to their instincts. Neither have a particularly sound coaching style for winning playoff basketball, but only D'Antoni has the infamous "seven-seconds-or-less" value system. If Mozgov gets into a situation where the game is allowed to slow down for him, he is going to blossom into the big-time player he is destined to be. But, like most things, it's totally environment-dependent. D'Antoni was a bad fit. George Karl was slightly better. Anywhere a highly structured offense already exists should be optimal. Because it's all there. His defense improved dramatically from his rookie year. His offensive game struggled a bit, but not in such a way that it can't be improved. After watching every possession with which he was involved last season, I see a few things happening for him going forward:
- His visits to the free-throw line should reach their rookie levels and then exceed them as he's not been one to get the benefit of the doubt from officials. There were countless times where a whistle should have gone his way but didn't.
- Because of this, I imagine his offensive rating to greatly increase, as he'll be responsible for reduced turnovers and more visits to the line. Every instance where he could have been shooting free-throws but a foul went uncalled, Mozgov was credited for a turnover. This has a doubly negative effect on his offensive rating.
- If he's given more minutes, I imagine his visits to the free-throw line increasing, as officials are apt to give players they see the benefit of the doubt more often than those they do not.
- Seeing as how his TS% and usage rate increased concurrently, I see no reason why his percentages from the floor cannot sustain.
In the sixteen games where Mozgov played more than eighteen minutes (playoffs included), the Nuggets went 11-5. Further, in the twelve games he played twenty or more minutes, Denver went 8-4. For a Nuggets team that went 41-32 last year (playoffs included), Mozgov's contributions are undervalued, at the very least. But Mozgov is still a great player to put alongside Kenneth Faried, as he, like Nene, spaces the floor, which will allow the unskilled rebounder to float.
Conversely, in the nineteen games Mozgov's teammate Kosta Koufos played eighteen or more minutes, the Nuggets went 10-9. Koufos, for all intents and purposes, is more productive. Mosgov though, is clearly more important. And this is where the disconnect continues to linger in the Nuggets' front office. Where they see production, I see smoke and mirrors. Where they see nothing, I see potential greatness if given the proper coaching and opportunity. This is why I didn't even bother comparing the two players head-to-head. Because there is no comparison.
Production will win you games against the dregs of the league. Skill AND size will win you games against the league's best. And it will do so consistently. This is why Denver will continue to struggle on the periphery. In the lone game last season where Mozgov saw the floor for over thirty minutes, he was a terror. If a 16-7-3-1-1 performance against the New York Knicks' Tyson Chandler doesn't set off any light bulbs, nothing will.
That said, Mozgov's days in Denver are likely over. They don't know what they have, and thus, will let it walk. This is why Nene was traded for JaVale McGee. This is why their draft addressed no areas of specific need, of which there are many. This is why they may miss the playoffs next year. Because the times they're content standing pat with what they have are the times they should be making moves. The times they're making moves are those where they should be standing pat.
Editor's note: There was much more to include in this study. If you have any further questions, please leave it in the comments section or follow me on Twitter. Thanks for reading.

Hotels in Chennai
Situated on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal in south-east India, Chennai – formerly known as Madras – is both an economic powerhouse and a cultural centre.
With almost nine million people living in the metropolitan area, Chennai is India's fourth largest city. It has a large automobile industry and is India's second largest exporter of IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) services.
As the state capital of Tamil Nadu, Chennai is an important cultural centre for dance, music and cinema. Its annual music and dance festival, held from mid-December to mid-January celebrates traditional Tamil Carnatic dance and music. It also has a large movie industry, colloquially known as Kollywood.
Chennai has for centuries been an important trading port for merchants selling spices, cloth and other goods. It has been coveted by the Dutch, French, Portuguese and British. In 1639, the British established Chennai as a trading post and began to build the Fort St George, giving rise to the city as we know it today.
Despite its size and importance in economics and culture, Chennai is a slower-paced city than its Indian counterparts. This laidback pace and the humble nature of the city make its residents more friendly than you'd expect for a metropolis this size.
When to go:
The best time to visit Chennai is in the winter months from November to February. This is also the time for the great festivals. It can be very hot and humid in the high summer months.
- Visit Fort St George, which houses the Secretariat and Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu. There's a Fort Museum near the entrance that contains memorabilia from previous Raj and Muslim administrations.
- Take a sunset stroll along Marina Beach. The 12km stretch of sand is the world's second longest stretch of beach.
- Shop around for some bargains in the markets of George Town or Theagaraya Nagar.
- Time your visit with festival season in December/January. As well as the music season, Pongol, a traditional Hindu harvest festival, is held in January.
- Visit the Government Museum. Housed in a British-built complex, the museum has archaeology and natural history sections as well as a bronze collection. You can use the same ticket to enter the National Art Gallery.
- Book a ticket in advance for the cinema – they sell out! The Devi Cineplex in the heart of Chennai is a beautiful building in which to get your dose of Kollywood.
- Visit Little Mount, a cave where St Thomas is said to have lived and St Thomas' Mount, the site of his martyrdom.
- Go to church – St Mary's Church is the oldest British church in India and the Basilica of the National Shrine of St Thomas is an imposing structure of historical significance.
- Valluvar Kottam is a memorial to the Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar and his epic moral poem Thirukural.
- Marvel at the Kapaleeshwar Temple in central Chennai and the 8th Century Sri Parthasarathay Temple near Marina Beach.

The Phillies got help for their starting rotation, acquiring righthander Joe Blanton from Oakland for three minor leaguers -- infielder Adrian Cardenas, lefthander Josh Outman and outfielder Matt Spencer. Cardenas was the No. 2 prospect in the Phillies' system, according to Baseball America, and Outman was ranked No. 4.
Blanton, 27, once considered one of the A's top young prospects, but has had a disappointing season thus far. He is 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA and has lost six of his last eight starts. He has a 3.87 ERA in 17 of his 20 starts and is tied for sixth in the American League in innings (127), having gone at least six innings in 16 starts. Blanton has the seventh-lowest run support average in the AL.
In his four-year career, Blanton is 47-46 with a 4.25 ERA.
One of his victories this season came against the Phillies on June 24. Blanton's only mistake in seven innings was a Pat Burrell home run in the A's 5-2 victory.
"It's one of those deals where it's very bittersweet," Blanton told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm going to a very good team with a very good lineup. They're in the division hunt and they're out to win a championship, and that's what any player wants. But I've always been with the A's, and I have great relationships there. It's one of those double-sided coins."
Like Brett Myers did for the Phillies, Blanton was Oakland's Opening Day starter. He gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings in a loss to Boston in Japan.
"We've been attempting to upgrade our rotation and we feel like we've done that," Phillies assistant general manager Mike Arbuckle said in a statement. "We think Joe is a very strong, competitive pitcher that has the mental makeup to pitch productively in a pennant race. He pitches a lot of innings and takes some burden off the bullpen."
Outman, 23, was 5-4 with one save and a 3.20 ERA in 33 games (5 starts) for Double A Reading.
Cardenas, 20, was hitting .309 in 67 games for Single A Clearwater.
Spencer, 22, was hitting .249 with six home runs and 41 RBI in 84 games for Clearwater.

... a net worth of $2m or an average income tax liability of at least $148,00 over the last five years.
Should that be $148,000?
Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin has insisted that he will pay taxes in the US and his decision to change his citizenship to Singapore had nothing to do with the country's more hospitable tax environment. "I am obligated to and will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the United States government," he said, in a …
Why are the Democrats singling out Eduardo? Last year over 1000 people renounced U.S. citizenship and unlike Eduardo openly ADMITTED it was for tax purposes, 499 in the first quarter of 2011:
Will the Special Ops Tax Collectors (SOTC) go after them, too? Oh, wait, those 1000 people are all Wall Street executives that donate to political campaigns. The Democrats will leave them alone because, uh, well, om, I'm sure there's a good reason...
@BillG - Did you not read the article?
"[Under the proposed new law] any expatriate with either a net worth of $2m or an average income tax liability of at least [$148,000] over the last five years, will be presumed to have renounced their citizenship to get out of paying taxes. [...] the government will tax their future investment gains no matter where they live."
So there you go, not singling out anyone. Mr. Eduardo is just the most visible and recent example (even though he apparently isn't actually trying to skip out on paying income tax.) He's the proverbial final straw.
I understand how this looks. Yes, I read the article. You are correct in what the article SAYS, but if you understand the United States Government you would know what the article MEANS.
A law is always broad but enforcement is selective. Cracking down on people that renounce U.S. citizenship for tax purposes is something that has been TALKED ABOUT in the USA for the past ten years. When Wall Street execs renounce U.S. citizenship for tax reasons and live in the USA as an expatriate, no one in Washington squeals one little bit. But having a highly publicized individual renounce citizenship during a highly publicized IPO during a -*!gasp* - ELECTION YEAR!
Well, the people in Washington have to justify their jobs! Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!
Taxing someone who is not an American citizen as if they were an American citizen is, of course, illegal. It's been tried in different forms - in the mid 1990's, when Chrysler moved their headquarters from a Detroit slum to Auburn Hills because three Chrysler employees were killed in two years on their way to work, Detroit passed a law to force Chrysler to still pay all local Detroit taxes even though they were not in Detroit anymore. It was illegal, of course, and Chrysler refused to pay.
No Taxation Without Representation. I think the Americas fought a war over that one.
But no one doubts that this law is aimed purely at Eduardo. I'm not even sure such a law will pass.
Why would wall street execs expatriate? That means they will no longer be wall street execs. Sure, if they want to retire... but most aren't ready to give up the cash cow just yet.
You may have not read the entire article you linked to:
There is a population of U.S. citizens who live overseas and may never have paid U.S. taxes on their non-U.S. earnings and non-U.S. accounts. Now that the IRS is enforcing the rules, with criminal penalties for scofflaws, the overseas residents would prefer to expatriate rather than pay.
That seems a much more reasonable reason. Thousands of people who are already expats, who have no desire to return to the US, who have all their money overseas, who just don't want the US tax collector sending them bills simply because they still have a US passport in a drawer somewhere.
Eduardo, get real.
All you need to do is donate to the right campaigns and quite honestly it's going to be way less than "hundreds of millions" of US Dollars in taxes, and even way less than the $67M the venerable Senator thinks you owe.
"Lobbyists" in Washington are awaiting your call. It's actually very affordable - a few 100,000 here, another few 100,00 there, and you can basically do whatever you want, they'll write some legislation for you.
BTW I gave up my green card for tax reasons too - I was out of the country for nearly 10 years and still paid my taxes every year, then some dimwit at the IRS decided to audit me. They sent me a letter that I owe $20k in taxes (for me, that's about as much as $2Bn for Mr. Severin). In the end it turned out I didn't owe anything, and in fact they owed me. But the stress, and enormous amount of effort involved getting all this documentation together, talking to a tax attorney et cetera was enough to convince me I have to get out of this crazy system. The IRS is nuts. Simple as that.
Communicating with them was crazy too - it was clear from the get go that they were "coming after me" - no presumption of innocence until proven guilty here! Not even common decency to assume I am "not" a criminal. No. They said right away, I better pay up, or things could get much worse for me. It was like a bad cop scene from a movie. Totally out of control, these people.
I know two other expats - one gave up his green card over a similar incident. The other his citizenship out of fear of the IRS. Both are not big earners - not "rich" by any means. But if you live outside the country, its ludicrous that they believe they have the right to tax you.
"Renouncing citizenship to simply avoid paying your fair share is an insult to middle class Americans and we will not accept it."
Hmmm, I may not be American, but shouldn't this sort of action (if indeed, that was his intention) be insulting to *all* Americans?!
On the other hand, what gives the US government the right to tax people who have specifically renounced US citizenship? They would be taxing foreign nationals at that point, something that most countries consider to be a bit beyond the pale.
They're trying to tax him on income that he hasn't earned yet. If he earns that income after renouncing his citizenship they have no right to tax it, just as he has no right to avail himself of the facilities the US government provides to its citizens. Quid pro quo and all that.
Oh, I agree with you Graham - I wasn't agreeing with the sentiment or the actions, just that some politician deems the action to only be insulting to *one* class of citizen rather than all :)
[Part of me wonders whether they're just miffed that they didn't think of it first :D]
I think there is two reasons for this: One, they need to show they're doing something about the rich - scapegoat! Of course they can't offend their sugar daddies so a rich outsider is perfect.
Two maybe they're hoping to get him in line and get him to "donate" to some super PACs.
Three - there is a growing sentiment in the USA that expats should pay more tax. I can only presume this idea was born over a bottle of Wild Turkey somewhere in middle America. The way to get expats to pay tax is to sow fear and terror with some high profile cases, same reason the IRS goes after celebrities with a vengeance. One or two celebrities behind bars means tens of thousands of scared citizens that pay their dues.
What gives the right?
Well, Pres Obama signed into Law an act that now means that ALL US Laws NOW apply to the whole planet. That gives them the right to go after him everywhere. He'd better not come to the UK as he'll be on a plave to the US before the ink was dry on the entry stamp in his new passport.
If you have ever been a US citizen, or held a green card then you must file a US tax return every year. If you have not earned any income in the US then you may not be liable to pay any tax, but you will pay tax at US rates on any US-earned income which includes capital gains tax. Eduardo Saverin knows this as his reply quite clearly states - what is very sad is that the two US senators who are complaining apparently don't know this.......
The working class who this statement is targeted at don't. They are too busy trying to keep a roof over their heads. Romney paid about 14%, Obama about 17% and I paid 31%. I am just a working class stiff making less than six figures and I don't have any deductions or capital gains or any of the tax breaks wealthier people get.
I don't want the rich to pay 90% taxes. I just want them to pay what I pay.
I have a meeting with the I.R.S. in an hour so this will be AC.
When you say "pay what you pay", do you mean $30,000 p.a., which should cover their "share" of education, policing etc., or do you mean 31% ($310,000 p.a. for someone on a million a year)? $170,000 in taxes is not "less" than what you paid, though it's a lower percentage of a millionaires "hard earned" income.
i.e. Do you want to live in a capitalist or communist regime?
Secondary question: If the media report the % rather than total tax paid: Are they communist sympathisers?
The risk with satire is that is sometimes can be too subtle. The views apparently expressed in your original posting are most definitely alive and kicking in certain circles in the States. I should also perhaps mention that I have on several occasions asked/begged El Reg for a "Satire alert" icon!
As above, Romney's paying something over 40% on his income, dividends are taxed twice, first as company income, second as dividends in the hands of shareholder. More civilized nations impute dividends, that is you can deduct from your own taxes the tax already paid on the dividend.
For what ever reason the US insists on fully taxing company profits and offering a reduced rate on dividend payouts.
Try living outside Australia (I assume you are from there, as I) and getting a credit for the imputation. NFW, the local tax bodies ADD the imputation credit to your dividends and charge local taxes on the lot at their local whopping rate (50+% here). This is double taxation and they know it, they just specualte that I won't fight, and if I don't pay they can confiscate my wealth directly from my bank account administratively without so much as a "by your leave" (fact).
My tax bill (backdated 5 years) is going to be 6 figures, and force my departure, immediately. From a high income high tax-paying resident, to a zero tax paying resident. I was willing to pay my local share, I am not willing to double up on what I already paid in Oz! I suspect the IRS would pull the same number - they are rabid dogs too.
FUCK THEM ALL, socialists and IRS rabid dogs the lot.
Time to find a new country, Burma is starting to look promising.
Anon: Obviously
Yeah, they're some of the more ignorant of the toilet bowl of ignoramusi we collectively refer to as "Our elected representatives".
Never mind the facts, they rule through sound bites and BS. The only people dumber than them are the ones that vote for them. Either party is guilty of this. They all disgust me.
[putting my teeth back in]
What are you talking about? Of course governments tax foreign nationals. I have paid taxes on investment in other countries to those governments, The US has a right to tax any money earned in the US. Of course they have no right to tax foreign income of non-citizens who do not live in the US.
Dodging taxes is only insulting to middle class Americans, as those are the only ones paying them. Poor don't earn so they don't pay. The rich dodge their taxes using other methods.
See: "Mitt Romney Tax Returns Released: Paid Just 13.9% Rate In 2010, Had Swiss Bank Account"
Justwondering how you can tax someone who isn't either a citizen or resident, and what the punishment for ignoring the demands for payment from a government unconnected to you would be? I mean, Americans think their law applies globally, but this is a bit ridiculous. Can the UK government tax Bill Gates then?
There is no question about the US' right to tax him according to their laws while he was a US citizen - regardless of where his butt is (onshore or offshore). The issue is the US seems to want to continue taxing this guy after he is a Singapore citizen living in Singapore... which I think should be considered fucked up under any circumstances.
That said... judging from the comments, apparently nothing gets people riled up more than their sense of entitlement to other peoples' money/property. Eat the rich, amiite?
While this may be SOP in Yank media culture, it shouldn't be. Poor devil has just found out that in the Court of the US Press, you're always guilty until the checks clear for the advertising space and public interest drops off.
Retractions are always buried in a basement in a locked filing cabinet, next to a sign saying "beware of leopard".
While I don't disagree that Apple, MS, Google et al should pony up proper taxes and not avoid them... This is clearly a personal decision of someone who effectively runs a US company moving himself to a locale where he doesn't have to pay tax on an extremely large amount of money. He is not a multinational company who could at least argue that they have operations in the countries they pay very little tax in.
Having said that, if he really wants to show that it's just a co-incidence that he moved out of the US, right before a whopping tax bill, he could just pay the tax. I just don't think that's going to happen, somehow.
Actually, this has never been in question (whether he will pay capital gains tax), as his press release pointedly makes clear. The question is, having paid a squillion in tax, renounced citizenship and upped sticks ... does he have future tax liabilities to the US.
The answer is no, unless this funny law comes into effect, and I have no idea what bizarre consequences it will have.

Nicaragua Finca Limoncillo Washed Caturra
Toffee apple, caramel, white grape
In the cup this coffee makes me think of a toffee apple. On the front end there's juicy green apple, which turns into sticky sweet toffee and caramel with a hint of white grape.
Kenya Othaya Chinga Washed AA
Cloudy lemonade, blackcurrant
In the cup think long hot summer days and drinking cloudy lemonade, almost a little medicinal (think Lemsip in a good way) with a blackcurrant edge on the finish.
Kenya Othaya Chinga Natural
Ribena, rum & raisin, boozy
In the cup this natural just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner year after year. Think alcoholic ribena with a rum and raisin finish (rumbena!) and a creamy, silky body.
Costa Rica Vista al Valle Finca La Casa Yellow Honey

UnNews:Sesame Street Rated TV-MA
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
24 November 2007
Breaking news! SESAME STREET, New York City, New New York --The popular children's show Sesame Street has been given an adults only rating by the Board of Family Friendly Ratings Safety Commission. It has given the long-running show this new rating after an intense and through review, the Board has announced yesterday.
Its website, http://www.sesameworkshop.com (along with all its directories and pages) were also blocked at school and replaced with a shock site.
A producer for the show, Brian Henson, said that
|Not only has the aging of our target audience caused Sesame Street to change every year to allow new viewers. But this has also forced us to change the content of the show to meet society's standards.
This new content contains the following:
- Alcohol and drug references
- Blood (lotsa lotsa blood!)
- Cookies
- Big Bird smoking pot and having delusions of a character named "Snuffleupagus"
- Sumo (NSFW)
- Oscar the Grouch's bipolar disorder
- Attmepts to eat disorders
- Cookie Monster's diabetes
- Smoking and eating pipes
- Ernie and Bert's homosexuality
- Fatties (NSFW)
- Pedophilia (Especially an episode in which Bert is revealed to be an online predator)
- The Count's chronic masturbation
- Condoms
- Teenage pregnancy
- Urination fetishes
- Severe diarrhea
- "Fuzzy and Blue" supremacists: racism
- "No Dogs and Birds" allowed: discrimination
- "Girls can't play ball and can't think too": sexism
- Most popular episode #98765- Race war or Genocide.
"The show could no longer suit the needs of today's preschool child," said the producer "So we had to change the content of the show to meet the needs to modern 4-year-olds' needs."
It was reported that the Sesame Street characters formed their own gang, put Mr. Hooper out of business and possibly murdered him as well during the Battle of Sesame Street.
The first episode this season, entitled "Trapped in the Closet", will take place in Seattle, Wahington where Bert and Ernie take part in a gay pride parade, revealing their homosexuality.
"We've been wanting to do that one for years," says Frank Oz, the longtime voice of Bert. "But PBS and the parents would have sued our asses a long time ago."
It has also been announced by the studio in charge of the production has also contacted "Fisher Price" to include profanity in the new "Kick My Ass Elmo" just in time for the Christmas holiday, and the popular toy will now contain phrases such as "go eat shit fuckers" and "Bert's a fucking queer and you know it!!"
"We hope this new show can meet the needs of modern society unlike our previously outdated piece-of-shit show" said Henson.
New Movie Coming Out[edit | edit source]
Not only has Sesame Street been giving a rating not suitable for kids, but it has a new movie coming out called "Sesame Street: The Movie" that also has stuff not suitable for kids under 13, like blood, hate, farts and burps, homosexuality and sex. It is unknown when this will be released.

I've seen similar posts, but have not been able to find clear answers to this one. Please forgive me if I simply didn't look hard enough.
I have been using an SL-C1000 for about a year and have been very pleased with it up until now. I noticed I wasn't getting very long battery life (a day, maybe 1.5 days) so when I plugged it in to charge and the light blinked I figured it needed a new battery. I ordered the new battery, put it in, and the Z still won't work. I've tried reflashing it from the diagnostic menu and that does not work. I've tried several of the battery sections in the service menu. I tried charging both batteries from the charge submenu and that does not work. The battery light will come on and stay on for hours, but the battery does not charge at all. I've checked the battery voltage with a separate volt meter and no change even after several hours.
The Z does seem to respond to batteries of different charge levels. The new battery only reads 3.7V on my volt meter (not the Z's Low Battery menu). The old battery shows 4.0V. If I plug in the old battery (after turning off the Z in the service menu) the battery light will stay on for about 10 minutes and then start blinking. If I try this with the old battery the battery light just starts blinking right away. The Low Battery Menu will only show 1.1V no matter which battery is in or if I even have a battery in the unit.
The only thing that works at all is reloading the original Japanese NAND and booting from the emergency console (the one you get to by holding down 'D + B'). I booted it up by typing Qt at the prompt. It took a while, but eventually I had a Japanese ROM working. However, when I pulled the power cable, it went dead. I tried charging the unit with the Japanese console and that didn't work either. If I try turning the Z off when using the Japanese NAND it will not turn on again even though I have the power cord plugged in. It seems a little inconvenient to keep it plugged in and on AND try to learn Japanese.
I also cannot get the emergency menu to come up (the one where you pull the battery, unplug the power, hold OK, plug in the power cord, put in the battery, lock the battery and then push the ON button).
I've seen a few posts that suggest replacing a fuse or some caps on the power board, but I haven't seen any clear instructions about how to do it (getting the unit apart, pulling out the ribbon cables without damaging them, where the power board is, or a good schematic, etc.). I also would rather not tear into it if there is a simple solution OUTSIDE the unit.

Longwood articulation agreement
University reaches articulation agreement with Longwood Gardens
1:13 p.m., Jan. 13, 2012--The University of Delaware and Longwood Gardens have reached a five-year articulation agreement that will allow students who graduate from Longwood's Professional Gardener Program to complete their bachelor of science degrees in the agriculture and natural resources major in UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR).
The Professional Gardener Program at Longwood Gardens is a two-year, tuition-free program offered every year to approximately eight individuals who have obtained at least a high school diploma and have one year of horticulture experience. The program trains students to be gardeners skilled in the art and science of horticulture. Students work in all areas of the garden and receive classroom instruction from Longwood staff and outside instructors, some of whom are professors at UD.
Campus Stories
From graduates, faculty
Doctoral hooding
Kimberly Yackoski, assistant dean of student services in CANR, was heavily involved in the process for the University and said she is excited for the benefits that the program offers for both the University and Longwood Gardens.
Concerning the benefits for UD, Yackoski said she is excited to have students from the Professional Gardener Program attending the University and bringing their real-world experiences to the classroom. "For the students who choose to continue at UD, I'm confident they will make a positive impact on other UD students by sharing their horticulture knowledge and the experiences they had during their time at Longwood. It's a win win for everyone involved."
Doug Needham, the head of the education department at Longwood Gardens, Robin Morgan, dean of CANR, and UD Provost Tom Apple signed the agreement by the beginning of December, 2011, which delighted Yackoski. "Our goal was for the articulation to be approved by the end of 2011 and we were thrilled when that goal was accomplished."
Working with Yackoski on getting the agreement finalized were individuals from UD and Longwood Gardens. They included Tom Sims, deputy dean of CANR and the T.A. Baker Professor of Plant and Soil Sciences; Bob Lyons, professor in UD's Department of Plant and Soil Sciences; and Needham and Brian Trader, Longwood's coordinator of domestic and international studies.
Lyons said he is "very excited about this new articulation agreement because it adds an undergraduate dimension to the already strong graduate program relationship between Longwood Gardens and the University of Delaware. It also recognizes a high standard of rigor by Longwood's course work instructors who are committed to excellence in the classroom."
Said Needham of the agreement, "Education is deeply embedded in our mission at Longwood Gardens, and we are passionate about providing our students with a rigorous academic experience, coupled with experiential learning through rotational work internships in the gardens."
Because of this, Needham said, "It is critical to us that our students have the option to continue their education toward a baccalaureate degree, and we are very pleased to further our ongoing educational partnership with the University of Delaware through this articulation agreement. Graduates of our two-year Professional Gardener Program now will be able to transfer their coursework and complete a B.S. in agriculture and natural resources at UD."
Trader, who is also an adjunct faculty member at UD, said that his role in the agreement was to meet with faculty from the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences and familiarize them with the classes being taught in the Professional Gardener Program to make sure the courses were of the same caliber as the courses being taught at UD.
Of the Professional Gardener Program, Trader said that it is "really a program that allows students to couple academic learning in the classroom with an immersive hands-on applicable experience in the gardens."
Longwood currently has an articulation program with Temple University, and Trader said that about a dozen students from the Professional Gardener Program have received their degrees from Temple or are currently taking advantage of the opportunity. He said that after the success with the Temple articulation program, it only made sense to try to form one with UD.
"Longwood already has a strong association with UD because of the Longwood graduate program and because most of the Ph.D. staff here at Longwood are adjunct faculty at UD," said Trader. "Some of the students in the program come from Delaware and the opportunity CANR provides is very attractive to our students."
Trader also sees the benefits for both sides, saying that for Longwood, "It shows the caliber or the strength of the academics that we're delivering here. It will allow us to recruit better and it could potentially increase some of the diversity and enrollment in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, not necessarily in number but in background and experience."
Now that the agreement has been finalized, Yackoski said that she looks forward to seeing the relationship between Longwood Gardens and the University of Delaware grow even stronger. "We've had a relationship with Longwood for quite some time, but this has made it even stronger. They have a lot of the same goals that we have, which includes helping students grow and be the best they can be."

LONDON (AP) – Al-Qaida linked militants in Somalia seized 480,000 pounds ($744,400) of U.K.-funded humanitarian aid supplies, the British government said Sunday.
The supplies were seized between November 2011 and February 2012, when al-Shabaab militants raided warehouses and offices of organizations partnered with the U.K.'s Department for International Development, which spent 102.9 million pounds in Somalia that year.
While the incidents occurred between 2011 and 2012, the write-off was listed in the agency's annual report for 2012 and 2013 _ once an investigation into the theft was completed.
The report said the agency's partners did not have any prior warning of the attacks and did not have time to move the supplies. The Department for International Development is working with partner organizations to ensure such risks are identified, the report added.
The agency stressed on Sunday that working in some of the most dangerous countries in the world carries "inherent risk." It also said in a statement that it "does all it can to mitigate against this but, on occasion, losses will occur" and that when theft is suspected it will investigate and act quickly.

Bay Bridge span's 'Big Lift' complete
The Big Lift, the most amazing feat in the incredible engineering show taking place over the bay between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island, was accomplished Tuesday.
Construction crews building the new Bay Bridge east span completed the complicated task of shifting the 35,200-ton weight of the new single-tower suspension span from temporary trestles that supported it from below to a single mile-long cable, draped across a 525-foot tower and anchored in the bridge deck, which holds it from above.
"This is now, officially, the largest self-anchored suspension bridge in the world," said Bart Ney, a Caltrans spokesman.
The lifting work, officially known as a load transfer, started in mid-August when crews from American Bridge/Fluor, the joint venture building the self-anchored suspension segment of the new $6.3 billion bridge, began using dozens of hydraulic jacks to gradually adjust the tension on 200 suspender cables that connect the decks of the bridge to the suspension cable.
As they worked, tuning the bridge like a giant stringed instrument, the twin steel decks began to rise about 18 inches from the rusted trestles that have supported them for years. At the same time, the main cable moved - about 30 feet out and 16 feet down.
Officials overseeing construction of the bridge had fretted over the load transfer, concerned that it could slow progress on the span, which is scheduled to open by Labor Day 2013.
"Completion of the load transfer led to a big collective sigh of relief from all the engineers," said Steve Heminger, executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and a member of a committee overseeing construction. "There was never any question about the cable picking up the weight of the bridge. But there was uncertainty over whether it would get picked up right the first time or if the engineers would have to go back and forth with the tensioning to fine-tune the system. "
With the heavy lifting and tuning complete, crews are coating the suspension cable - 17,399 pencil-thick strands of steel wire that's been compressed - with zinc paste, wrapping it with steel wire then applying a thick coat of paint to make sure it withstands the elements.
Workers will soon begin the process of "locking down" the span, connecting it to the concrete skyway segment of the bridge with special pipe-like seismic joints. Crews have already started to remove parts of the trestle beneath the bridge, though that work will proceed intermittently. By spring, workers will begin to take down the scaffolding surrounding the span's gleaming white tower.
While much work remains - including connections to Yerba Buena Island and the Oakland landing near the toll plaza - the project is on schedule for its Labor Day opening, Ney said.

Taylor Swift Talks Songwriting, Red Tour Surprises in Behind-the-Scenes Diet Coke Clip
Taylor Swift has partnered with Diet Coke and the singer took us behind the scenes of her new ad for the soft drink giant. In between clips from the spot, she revealed her perspective on songwriting and growing up. She also shared some hints about what to expect on her upcoming Red Tour, which launches March 13.
"I try to age gracefully," the singer, 23, states. "It's what I was trying to do when I was 18. Don't try to be 25. Hopefully, when I'm 70, I'm not trying to be 25…I'm not trying to grow up too fast. Being 23, it's fun to play with style and edge it up sometimes."
She also talks about the difference between writing songs at age 12 and at age 23, and how a lot has changed regarding her life circumstances, but the reason she writes about her personal situations remains the same. It all boils down to her strong relationship with her fans and how she doesn't hide much from them. "They know what the last two years of my life are like if they have my record," she says.
As for the surprises she has planned for the Red Tour? She is going to incorporate the unexpected, such as reformulating a song to sound different or she will use an different visual or quick change outfits in the blink of an eye.
Her unwavering wish remains the same -- she wants to give her fans more bang for their buck and to help them lose themselves in her music and performance, and to be fully entertained without a care in the world, if only for a few hours. "A good concert can be like a good book. It can take you away and help you escape. That's my main goal, if only just for one night, you know?," Swift explains.
A video series debuts on March 13, the same day the tour starts, and it will offer insight into things that go into the tour, including, hair, makeup and wardrobe. Throw the Diet Coke Facebook page a "Like" and you can gain access to that content.

Jantel Lavender had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Sparks (9-11) and Candace Parker added 15 points and nine rebounds. They outscored the Sun 30-10 in the third quarter.
Rookie Chiney Ogwumike had 18 points and six rebounds and Alex Bentley had 10 points, five assists and four rebounds for the Sun (9-13), who have lost seven of their past eight.
The Sparks led by four points early in the second half when Nneka Ogwumike made two free throws, followed by a running jumper.
Alana Beard, Ogwumike and Lavender each added a jumper to give Los Angeles its first double-digit lead at 54-42.
"All along I felt like if we played harder, we wouldn't have been in so many of those close games," Sparks' coach Carol Ross said. "We need to be able to finish out no matter what the score is.
"Today I was very pleased with our intensity coming out of the locker room at the half. I thought our third quarter is where we really imposed our will and played strong."
Armintie Herrington's 18-foot jumper gave Los Angeles its biggest lead at 84-53 with over four minutes left in the game.
"They're a bad matchup for anybody in the league," Sun coach Anne Donovan said. "When they put Lavender into the starting lineup (at center) and put Parker permanently at the three, it's a nightmare."
It was the second straight win for the Sparks, and just the second time they've won back-to-back games in what has been a frustrating season.
"I think the biggest thing has just been the chemistry," Lavender said. "It's been two weeks now that we've had our full squad, so I think we're just kind of getting our chemistry late, but we're playing hard every game. So we know it's about playing with energy and effort with the pieces we have."
Bentley made two free throws less than a minute into the game to give Connecticut a 2-0 lead. It was its only lead of the game.
"We will talk to the (coaching) staff and we'll try to figure out if maybe mixing things up from a personal standpoint will help," Donovan said. "As a staff, we have to recognize what's going on out there and if changes may or may not help us.
"It's not foreboding. Don't read anything into it. It's the product of a game where we had a really horrible third quarter and we have to make sure we're doing everything as a staff to ensure it doesn't happen again."

To Take Down HIV Criminalization Laws, You'll Need to Develop Talking Points
June 5, 2014
Much of the discussion at the 2014 HIV is Not a Crime Conference stresses that HIV criminalization laws are bad policies that have extremely negative results for public health and the personal quality of life for people living with HIV. But how can advocates best discuss this issue with others who are not as familiar with its troubling consequences? Laurel Sprague of the Sero Project affirmed that, even among HIV community members, there is some discord when discussing HIV criminalization.
Participants in a workshop at HIV is Not a Crime developed talking points around HIV criminalization, referencing legal issues, public health practices, social implications and human rights. Below is the list, along with a brief explanation that gives details for each talking point.

What is SCRAMP?
Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula
The Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP) has been operating for over 50 years and created what the racing circuit, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is today.
Before the first of the fabled Pebble Beach Road Races over 50 years ago, the Monterey Peninsula was not the destination for hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world that it is today. It was hardly known outside of California, other than by soldiers who got their Army basic training at nearby Fort Ord.
The races on roads winding through the trees of Del Monte Forest changed that. Sports car fans flocked to the Monterey Peninsula to watch the Pebble Beach Road Races. Their friends followed year round after hearing of its wonders. Jobs and tax revenue to fund community projects grew as tourists from around the world were drawn to the Peninsula. When the Pebble Beach Road Races ended in 1956, because cars had become too fast for open road racing, the potential impact was enormous.
A group of local businessmen did not, however, see catastrophe. They saw opportunity. They had a vision of a permanent race track where the Pebble Beach Road Races tradition could be continued, preventing the potential loss of jobs and tax revenue.
They founded SCRAMP on November 1, 1956 with a charter to, "benefit local charitable and non-profit organizations and to promote the economic vitality of Monterey through the encouragement, solicitation, organization, sponsorship and perpetuation of motorsports events in the vicinity of the Monterey Peninsula." They conceived and built Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and today SCRAMP continues to organize races at the track true to its charter.
The results have been nothing short of hugely successful. Almost twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) have been distributed to over 100 Monterey Peninsula charitable and service groups over five decades. Groups such as the United Way, Special Olympics, Boy and Girl Scouts, Rotary, and Lions provide volunteer workers for race events to raise funds for their activities. In 2008 alone, $317,751 in net proceeds from five race events were distributed by SCRAMP.
On top of all this is the positive impact of the more than one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) in revenue that has been generated for Monterey Peninsula businesses by events at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. 2009's Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix, featuring the return of the MotoGP World Championship, benefited the Monterey Peninsula to the tune of an estimated $100 million in economic impact.
SCRAMP today is the most important economic and charitable organization in Monterey County.
It also stands out from all other organizers of world-class sporting events because of the way and why it operates. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is unlike every other major professional sports facility in the USA, or anywhere else.
Racing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is for people, not for profit.
There are now nearly 2,500 registered volunteers who help make events at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca successful. They are organized and managed by 200 volunteer Assistant Directors and a paid staff of just over 20 full-time employees, who are guided by a corporate board of 25 volunteer Directors made up of Monterey Peninsula community leaders.
The numbers though are just convenient measures of what racing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is about. Far more important is the way lives have been touched.
Everything at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca happens because men and women from all walks of life work together cooperatively year after year to make each event successful. They have done this, and they continue to do it, in the spirit of a time-honored American tradition. They are people working together to make their community a better place to live and to help their neighbors, as Americans have done since before the days of frontier barn-raisings.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was the result of the vision of SCRAMP's founders that led to exploratory discussions with the U.S. Army about using land on Fort Ord for a track. These meetings led to a truly unique arrangement. The Army leased SCRAMP land for the track and the Army Corps of Engineers helped with its construction. This was more than 30 years before innovative community use of military base land was made a necessity by base closures.
It was a win-win situation. Everyone in the Monterey Peninsula community gained – business owners, workers, taxpayers, soldiers at Fort Ord and people who needed a little help from their friends, local charities and service groups.
A year and eight days from the day SCRAMP was chartered and two months after SCRAMP was granted construction approval, Pete Lovely won the first race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca driving a Ferrari. That was on November 9, 1957.
Almost over-night, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca became world famous and now it is the premier road racing track in North America. Worldwide, it is mentioned in the same breath with other historic tracks like Le Mans, Indianapolis, Monaco, Monza, Brands Hatch, Road America, Spa-Francochamps, Watkins Glen, Riverside and the Nürburgring.
The track in 2011 is a physically different Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca than in 1957. Originally 1.9 miles long with nine turns, it now has 11 turns and it is 2.238 miles around. Gone are the haybales that once lined turns, replaced by wide open runoff areas that allow for spins, without contact. Gone is the original Turn 2 that whitened knuckles because driving through it was like trying to thread a needle at 130mph, replaced by infield turns that are challenges of another kind and bring racing closer to more spectators. Gone is the pit area outside the final turn, replaced by grandstands that make watching dashes to the checkered flag and pit lane action as comfortable as spectating at any professional sports event.
In character and spirit though, Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca is very much the same as it has always been. The hillsides are still fabulous for spectating, picnicking and the many other activities that go on there. Still easily accessible is the paddock where racers, their race bikes or cars, crews at work, and celebrities can all be seen up close and personal. The atmosphere of events is still like that of a family reunion.
What will never, ever change at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is the Corkscrew. All legendary tracks have signature turns talked about in awe by those who have dared to race through them as fast as humanly possible: the Nürburgring's Flugplatz, Paddock Bend at Brands Hatch, Monza's Lesmo curves, Turn One at Indianapolis. But nowhere in racing is there anything like the Corkscrew.
The Corkscrew is approached going flat out up the backside of the hill that overlooks Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca's namesake dry lake. A heartbeat after blue sky and gnarled oak trees pop into view dead ahead, you are on the brakes and turning hard left. Suddenly you are going downhill rapidly. The track seems to have disappeared from underneath you. You're in the Corkscrew. No rollercoaster ride on the planet is like it. The pit of your stomach is empty. You are being forced right towards disaster. After a nano-second of fear, the tires grip the pavement. Again, you breathe, plummeting into a right-hand turn. You swing left and, just before you fly off the track, you dive right into it. Through the turn, you're through the Corkscrew. If you got it right, you went from top to bottom in less time than it took to read this paragraph, and you're on your way to a fast lap.
Every driver or rider who takes the wild ride through the Corkscrew takes it because SCRAMP and the Army had agreed that the land which would be Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca should be changed as little as possible to construct the track, thoughtfulness that pre-dated environmentalism by nearly 20 years. When the bulldozer cutting the path for the track back in 1957 crested the top of the hill, the operator saw the same sky and trees that drivers and riders see today. Then he turned left and became the first driver to go through the Corkscrew and undoubtedly the slowest.


text: Wheat on the Big Screen March 18, 2013 06:24 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email The following information is a Web Extra from the pages of Farm Journal. It corresponds with the article "Must-See Wheat TV." You can find the article in Farm Journal's 2013 Early Spring issue. Harvesting the High Plains About the film: The boom years of the turn of the century catch up with America. Years of gluttony and living beyond our means now recoils a once proud Nation. Rocked in turmoil many don't know when or where their next meal will come from. As the dark clouds of the economic depression settle over the country, another dark storm rages on the High Plains. From the panhandle of Texas to western Nebraska another battle begins, with an even greater foe and one far less forgiving; nature. Rising out of the dust came two men Ray Garvey and John Kriss who believed that the land in western Kansas and eastern Colorado was fertile and capable of producing wheat. By partnering with the land they learned how to restore the broken plains, turning dust into fields of gold. All during a time when men needed more then just food, they needed hope. Inspired by the historical works of H. Craig Miner and on the extensive correspondence between Garvey and Kriss the film brings to life their unwavering courage and perseverance to succeed no matter what the odds. Demonstrating that through hard work and common sense, farming on the high plains was possible under the most adverse conditions. Through their efforts GK Farms became one of the largest wheat operations on the plains and yielded Garvey and Kriss a record crop in 1947, a record to date remains. The film celebrates the "progressive" search for agricultural answers in the face of the dustbowl, changing the Great American Desert into the Breadbasket of the World. The Great American Wheat Harvest About the Film: It is a documentary film that will tell the story of hard-working custom harvesters who travel from the heart of Texas to the Canadian border harvesting the wheat that feeds our Great Country and the World. This film is being produced by award-winning Director and Producer, Conrad Weaver, President of Conjostudios, LLC based out of Frederick, MD. The story is dramatic as well as inspiring. It's compelling as it shares the challenges that are now threatening that way of life passed on from generation from generation. Much has changed and from a historical perspective. It is important to document the lifestyle and heritage before it is lost. Back to news

Good things come in small ZBOXes; a tiny present from Zotac
Subject: Systems | October 21, 2011 - 12:25 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: zotac, ZBox Nano AD10, SFF, llano
The mini PC has been growing in popularity as its capabilities grow from barely being able to play back standard definition streamed flash to smoothly displaying HD content from a Blu-Ray drive. One of the long standing members of this market, Zotac, fired off a ZBOX Nano AD10 Mini PC to Think Computers so that they could test it out. At only 5"x5"x1.77" it is tiny and inside hides an AMD E350, AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics, 7.1 channel audio, and a 320GB HDD, external USB 3.0 and eSATA plus both 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. At $300 fully loaded Think Computers highly recommends this box for those needing a tiny PC.
"We have seen quite a few different Mini PC's lately. They make great Internet surfing and media machines for home theater setups. Not that long ago we took a look at Zotac's ZBOX HD-AD02 mini PC, which proved to be a great and very function mini PC, but was a little on the large side. Today we have the ZBOX Nano AD10, which has to be one of the best-looking and smallest mini pc's we have looked at. I know you are going to say it so we will say it now, it looks like a Mac Mini only smaller! Inside this small design you have an AMD E350 CPU, AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics, 2GB of DDR 3 and a 320GB hard drive. Let's check out the ZBOX Nano and see if performs as well as it looks!"

Zotac really does offer you a hand held PC with their ZBox Nano AD10

Tagged: ZBox Nano AD10, zotac, SFF
Zotac really takes small form factor PCs seriously. The new ZBox Nano AD10 that you can see below costs $320 fully loaded and hides an AMD E-350 with Radeon HD 6310 on a Hudson M1 motherboard with 2GB DDR3-1066 and a 5,400 RPM 320GB HDD. As Josh mentioned on the podcast it also has a proper antenna to make sure you get a solid WiFi signal, thought there is a gigabit ethernet port if you need it. It might not produce incredible benchmarks but its video playback is perfect. The Tech Report loves this Nano, it is an OS away from being a complete machine and is available for a very reasonable price.
"Zotac's Zbox Nano AD10 puts AMD's Brazos platform quite literally in the palm of your hand. Join us for a closer look at the new standard in enthusiast-friendly ultra-mini PC."
