When Windows 8.1 came out users starting asking if this means that Microsoft is backing away from some of the changes they made in Windows 8. Most tech journalists seemed to answer that they weren't sure. Well I'm sure, the answer is no and here's why and what's going to happen over the next 5-10 years.
The sad truth is that there will never be total world peace. The simple reason for this is that there is always conflict between the concepts of groups of people having the freedom to set their own moral code but at the same time have other groups with different moral codes to interact and not offend each other somehow. The simple concept that my moral code says that I want to have certain beliefs as well as a belief that a given behavior is wrong and not only do I not want to practice that behavior, but I feel entitled to not have to deal with others who do. If you think
There are two trends these days which are heading for a collision: automatic updates and multiple Internet connections with different bandwidth restrictions. It is common for mobile apps to have settings to enable/disable high bandwidth operations depending on whether you've got a cellular or wifi connection, but this isn't enough when that wifi connection might be a home high handwidth/low cost connection or a tether connection which is much slower and has a monthly cap. Do you really want your tethered laptop downloading Windows/Firefox/Chrome/Adobe updates, or should
Netflix has made a bold move, but I believe it did so too early. Netflix has always known that a pure streaming model was its ultimate goal, physical DVDs were just a temporary measure until everyone had enough bandwidth to make streaming work - the name Netflix doesn't even really make much sense for shipping physical media. With this timing however Netflix jumped the gun and here's why.
For about 10 years now my home Internet router/firewall was a Zeos Pentium 166 box running Linux I built entirely from source code. Sooner or later that machine was going to die and I wanted some extra features like traffic shaping and more friendly administration. I was considering custom firmware for some of the consumer routers as well as firewall distributions on x86 hardware, but was having a hard time satisfying my requirements:
When I was recently asked for a recommendation of a home network storage solution it gave me an excuse to research something that had been on my todo list for a long time. Being a Linux guy I always assumed I'd go with a Linux based NAS (Network Attached Storage device), but my results surprised me.
My employer uses the Cisco VPN for remote access, but the VPN server version we use has been End of Lifed by Cisco and won't be coming out with a native Windows 7 64 bit version. Since purchasing a new server would be a significant expense they are holding tight with the deprecated version. So we're making due with the Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.6.0110. This raised a concern that as people replace their old home computers with new ones they will be getting Windows 7 64 bit machines and therefore not be able to use the VPN.
Last Summer I was experimenting with using a Windows 7 machine as a home theater PC and ran into an issue I thought was obsolete - overscan.
Overscan goes back to the days of CRT TVs where the edges of the image are cropped off by the bezel of the TV so the picture completely fills the part of the picture tube that you see. I thought that it was an obsolete concept with the advent of HDTVs. So imagine my surprise when I hooked up the computer to my Samsung 46" LCD HDTV and found the icons on the left edge of the screen were clipped off as well as the task bar. It turns out that even though the physical resolution of the LCD panel is 1280x1080 the TV was stretching the pixels to clip off some to accomplish the overscan.
When we bought our current house we dealt with a number of new contractors and home professionals and really got lucky with the people we had picked. If you need work done in Danbury, CT or surrounding areas these are the people you want to deal with.

"If I Was a Cloud in the Sky" was sung by Mr. Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street. In the original sketch, Snuffy shows Big Bird the cloud costume he's going to wear in his Snufflegarten class's upcoming pageant about the sky, and even sings the song that accompanies it, while Big Bird imagines him as a cloud.
In episode 3887, Snuffy sang this song again with the cloud costume, but with a cloud hat for the Snufflegarten class's pageant about the sky. In episode 4088, Snuffy once again sang this song as he had balloons tied around him to get him to float into the sky like a real cloud.

Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer specialists at Duke have performed thousands of thyroid cancer surgeries. We test new treatments, and help to set the national guidelines for treating thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. We use the latest medical and surgical advances to tailor your treatment of thyroid cancer. Our goal is to cure your cancer — or remove as much of the cancer as possible — so you can resume your normal activities.
Advanced Thyroid Cancer Treatments
Thyroid cancer can be cured if it is caught early and treated promptly. Our experienced endocrine surgeons, head and neck (ENT) surgeons, and thyroid cancer specialists are experts in differentiating between benign thyroid nodules and thyroid cancers, including papillary, follicular, Hurthle cell, medullary or anaplastic types. We use the latest medical advances, and minimal access surgical techniques to ensure your thyroid cancer is treated quickly and effectively.
Choose Duke for your thyroid cancer treatment because we offer:
- Nationally ranked cancer program. We are consistently ranked among the best cancer programs in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, as a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, our thyroid cancer team is recognized for exploring new treatment opportunities through ongoing clinical trials. We offer you the latest research discoveries before they are available elsewhere.
- A team approach. Your team may include board-certified surgeons and endocrinologists as well as medical and radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine specialists, cytopathologists, nutritionists and integrative medicine specialists. We've made it possible for you to see your team, and undergo appropriate testing on one convenient day. Studies across the world demonstrate that receiving medical care from an organized team of multiple specialists results in better outcomes. Our specialists meet weekly to discuss patients, develop optimal care plans, and offer advanced surgical, medical and follow up care.
- Surgical experience and expertise. Our surgeons have performed thousands of thyroid-specific successful surgical procedures, ranging from minimally invasive to complex procedures. We strive to ensure our patients experience lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, lower overall costs, less likelihood of cancer recurrence, and fewer repeat operations as compared to national published data.
- Personalized therapies. We offer personalized therapies based on thyroid biopsies or small tissue samples, which means your treatments are tailored to your specific type of cancer.
- Latest medical advances. We are authorized to offer patients the latest medical advances including vandetanib (Caprelsa), cabozantinib (Cometriq) and sorafenib (Nexavar).
- Clinical trial access. We are one of the world's first medical centers to enroll patients in clinical studies investigating small-molecule therapies for extensive and metastatic thyroid cancer. Our expanding portfolio of clinical trials and growing tissue bank opens our patients' access to experimental uses of approved drugs and newer therapies, including selumetinib.
- Latest national practice standards. We work with the American Thyroid Association, the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and the National Comprehensive Center Network (NCCN) to help set the national standards for best practice treatment guidelines. We were also one of the first institutions to work with the Collaborative Endocrine Surgery Quality Improvement Program to improve quality in endocrine surgery.
- Support to you and your family. Our comprehensive support services range from helping patients minimize the side effects of cancer treatment to coping with the emotional and psychological effects of diagnosis and treatment. View all of our cancer support groups in our event calendar.
- Radioactive iodine. In pill or liquid form, it is administered 4 – 8 weeks after surgery to target and destroy thyroid cancer cells anywhere in the body.
- Vandetanib (Caprelsa) and cabozantinib (Cometriq). Both were recently approved to treat late-stage medullary thyroid cancer in patients who are ineligible for surgery.
- Sorafenib (Nexavar). Recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced differentiated thyroid cancer.
Slows or halts cancer cell growth and is used to control thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.
Uses small incisions and may be performed under local anesthesia in the outpatient setting when appropriate. Includes lobectomy, which removes the side of the thyroid where the tumor is located.
- Near-total or total thyroidectomy removes most or the entire thyroid.
- Lymph node removal may be required if metastatic cancer is diagnosed.
- Chest goiter removal removes goiters (enlarged thyroid) that extend into the chest.
- Removal of cancer that has spread to other areas of the neck (neck dissections) may be necessary when cancers spread to lymph nodes or organs in the neck.
- Re-operations may be necessary for recurrent tumors or goiters in previously operated necks.
Our specialists perform a variety of tests to accurately determine the type, location, and stage of your cancer. This allows us to plan the most effective treatment plan, optimized to your individual needs.
Measure thyroid function and help identify thyroid dysfunction.
Surgeon- or radiologist-directed ultrasound imaging of the neck pinpoints the location, size and extent of the tumor and any possible spread to adjacent lymph nodes.
An ultrasound-guided fine needle is used to biopsy thyroid nodules and determine if cancer is present. If necessary, molecular testing of thyroid biopsies may be used to rule out cancer and to avoid an operation. Molecular testing can also identify certain mutations, such as BRAF V600E. The results can help the surgeon select the most appropriate type of procedure and tailor treatment.
Checks whether the vocal cords move normally and helps identify if tumors have spread to the nerves moving the vocal cords.
Radioactive iodine scans, CTs, or, more infrequently, PET-CTs, may be performed after surgery to determine if the cancer has been completely removed.
Genetic counseling may be recommended when inherited thyroid cancers and related cancers are suspected.

Portal 2 Turret Statue
Cold metal, warm heart
- 16" tall sculpture of a very special turret
- Cast in polystone, hand-finished and hand-painted
- Officially licensed Portal 2 artwork
By technical definition, the Aperture Science Turret Sanctuary was more of a forced extension of our Artificial Sentience Programming project. But, those of us at ASTS know our work with these (again by technical definition) defective turrets is life-changing for them and their new homes. These turrets would spend their conscious lives locked away in a storage closet, calling out for someone -- anyone! -- to talk to, to hug, to love them. And we hope that you have it in your hearts to give these loyal, kind, wonderful companions a home they can ineffectively guard.
Thankfully, we were able to find the few individuals that created these poor souls and fire them (out of a cannon, into the sun) before they could do any more harm. As a result, we only have a limited number of these adorable little guys. All we ask is that you have at least two or more people living in your home, as these special little turrets need as much company as they can get. Give us a call today or visit us on ThinkGeek to find out more about adopting a turret.
Product Specifications
- Straight from the Aperture Science Turret Sanctuary
- Perfect for any bookshelf or end table, as long as he has full vision of his family members most hours
- Programmed for high levels of politeness and compliment, but most come with naturally occurring bugs like fear, anxiety, and depression due to sentience
- Each piece is hand-finished and hand-painted
- Note: This is a sculpture, and thus, does not make sound
- Materials: High quality polystone
- Dimensions: 16" tall

You are my secret coat. You're never dry.
You wear the weight and stink of black canals.
I don't feel the cold. Marching through the park my padded jacket keeps out the world. My crimes are not visible, but hidden under layers of quilt. This is how I deal with guilt, wrap it up, keep it covered, just walk.
But you don't talk, historical bespoke.
You must be worn, be intimate as skin,
And though I never lived what you invoke,
At birth I was already buttoned in.
Cousin coat can hold many secrets. I have mastered the art of picking up pain, putting it inside, zipping it up. It's just that after a certain number of years, the weight of my sins my unspoken desires the things I wanted to say but didn't my mother crippled in the residential home that place in the pit of my stomach where the earth opens up and I have to hold my breath to stop myself from falling in has grown unbearable. This coat drags me down into the dark water. It reeks of regret.
And what you are is what I tried to shed
In libraries with Donne and Henry James.
You're here to bear a message from the dead
Whose history's dishonoured with their names.
Whenever I enter the university library, to keep warm mainly, and hoping youth's brazen face might rub against mine, I think of my stepfather. Our house of books that's become his mausoleum. Raymond Williams, Walt Whitman, Jake Arnott, Paul Scott, Madhur Jaffrey, Elizabeth David, Alice Oswald, Stuart Hall. A year after he died my sister received a letter from his university library, requesting his overdue books. The letter informed my dead stepfather that he would not be allowed on the premises, until he returned them. Which made us laugh with hollow gallows humour. But now it's just the sadness and the feeling of all the shelves of books that I grew up surrounded by, falling on my head, burying me alive.
Be with me when they cauterise the facts.
Be with me to the bottom of the page,
Insisting on what history exacts.
Be memory, be conscience, will and rage,
I keep walking. The paths criss cross over each other and I sometimes abandon them and stride over the grass sinking into the mud into my past that keeps accosting me in the dark. One of these days I will take off this coat and everything I collected in every crevice all the bits of tissue I shoved in my pockets with my grief and dust that accumulated the piles of lust and anger and the words that were always forming on the tip of my tongue but fell silently into the folds of the garment before they were uttered will escape. This coat has not let me forget anything. I flinch at the thought of what will be unleashed when the stories are no longer kept in. I know it will happen soon. I don't stop.
And keep me cold and honest, cousin coat,

Roasted Tomato Soup
October 30th, 2009 | Category: Soup
I guess I am a bit late about this roasted tomato soup recipe as the season is over, but better late than never (or next year), right? This roasted tomato soup with goat's cheese crostini recipe belongs to Gordon Ramsay and was published in his column at Times Online. It has great depth, thanks to roasting the tomatoes with red onions, sea salt, olive oil, fresh thyme and ...

WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - Head coach Polk Brown knew it would take a big improvement for the Golden Eagles to make up some spots in the Great Smokies Intercollegiate, and that's just what the Tennessee Tech women's golf team did Tuesday morning.
After struggling on Day One and finishing with a total score of 315 to sit in 11th place after 18 holes, the young Tech squad battled back on Day Two, cutting its first-day performance by more than 20 strokes and jumping into ninth place for the tournament. Play was conducted at the Waynesville Inn - Golf Resort & Spa and covered two beautiful nine-hole courses each round for a par 72, 5,932 yard event hosted by Western Carolina.
Leading the way for the Golden Eagles was sophomore Maddi Everts (pictured left), who rebounded nicely from a Day One 79 to card a career-low round of 67, beating her previous low by three strokes. Everts finished the tourney with a 146 overall and tied for 15th place, giving her her first top 15 finish of the year.
Also key to the Tech finish was the play of Allison Geer (pictured below), who also had a solid comeback round of her own. After shooting a 79 on the first day of play, the sophomore posted a personal-best 18-hole round of 70, topping her previous career mark by an incredible eight strokes. Geer's total of 149 was good enough to tie her for 26th overall for the tournament.
Freshman Whitney Robertson played consistently on the weekend, showing improvement as the tournament played on. The Clarksville native carded a first-day 80 before shedding three strokes for a Day Two 77 and total tournament score of 157. The newbie placed 48th in the tournament.
Rounding out the scoring for the Golden Eagles were sophomore Megan Williamson (81-79=160) and freshman Lydia Triplett (77-86=163). Williamson tied for 55th while Triplett tied for 63rd overall.
Playing host, the Catamounts of WCU, rallied for a first-place finish in the event, winning with a 283-287=570 score line.
The Golden Eagles will take some time off before returning to the links, not playing again until Oct. 7. Tech will then head off to the CSU Wendy's Invitational hosted by Charleston Southern at the Rivertowne Country Club in Mount Pleasant, S.C.

New Sewer Rates in Small Town
Read the original story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Original Title:
"$3 a Flush" – New Sewer Rates in Nevada County Town
Several dozen residents of a small Nevada County community say they are the first of what likely will be dozens of similar small towns that soon will face expensive upgrades to their sewer systems. For the 83 families at Cascade Shores on Scott Flat Reservoir, it will be particularly costly.
"It's a big deal for our little community," said Carolyn Inglis who like the others who live there have been told their annual payment for sewer fees would likely more than double to $4,500. "People simply can't afford to pay $4,500 a year," said Inglis.
Although the sewage treatment plant that currently serves the residents of Cascade Shores is only 10 years old and still in good operating condition, new state and federal clean water sanctions make the system obsolete. Its output is so small -- only several gallons of treated water per minute -- most of the year it merely percolates into the ground before it even reaches a nearby stream. But as existing operating permits expire for plants like the one at Cascade Shores, the facilities must be rebuilt in order to comply with the new regulations.
In large cities where the cost is spread among a larger customer base, the impact for any one individual customer will likely be minimal. But at Cascade Shores, which is among the first in Northern California to have its existing permit expire, the $6.4 million overhaul will have to be paid for by the 83 customers who rely on the plant. And that cost breaks down to the $4,500 annual fee.
"That's a lot," exclaimed homeowner Arnold Goldberg, who said the new sewer fee would be higher than his property tax. Goldberg calculated that with the new fee, each household would be paying fifty-two cents per hour for sewer service. "That works out to about $3 per flush," said Goldberg. Based on current average water rates, it will cost roughly 10 times more to pour a glass of water down the drain than it will to fill that glass in the first place.
The dilemma facing Cascade Shores is expected to be felt by dozens of other communities in Northern California as their existing sewer plant permits expire. "In the state of California there's going to be a number of other small rural communities that will face similar circumstances," said Gordon Pantenga, Wastewater Operations Manager for the Nevada County Sanitation District. He added, "The main determinate on what the ultimate cost of that project is going to be is the number of customers."
The residents of Cascade Shores have prepared large reports and have gathered signatures to present to lawmakers in Sacramento seeking relief. But they are fighting time. Under the new regulations, if they don't have a new plant up and running by the time their current permit expires next fall, they say they will face fines of several thousand dollars each day for being out of compliance with new clean water standards.

Energy in the body comes from millions and millions of tiny power generators, each equipped with a crankshaft that spins round and round 24/7, producing the fuel that makes us go.
Right. And the moon is made of Gouda cheese.
© DaimlerChrysler AG
"You can take a spoonful of that protein and it generates as much torque as a Mercedes engine."
Suspend your disbelief. The protein adenosine triphosphate synthase, better known as ATPase, is nature's smallest rotary motor. "You can take a spoonful of that protein," says biophysicist Klaus Schulten of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, "and it generates as much torque as a Mercedes engine."
A remarkable molecular motor that in the laboratory produces torque from chemical fuel, ATPase works the other direction in humans — converting torque into ATP, the basic fuel of life, the chemical energy that fuels muscle contraction, transmission of nerve messages and many other functions. Probably the most abundant protein in all living organisms, ATPase is the power plant of metabolism. In an active day, an adult human can produce and consume its body weight or more of ATP, nearly all of it produced by ATPase.
The 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized Paul Boyer and John Walker for their work in assembling, for the first time, a detailed picture of ATPase and how this tiny molecular machine does its job. Subsequent research has added to the picture, but many challenging questions remain.
Imagine we're from Mars, says Schulten, director of the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois Beckman Institute, and we want to understand how a car engine works, but the engine is infinitesimally small. "It's nearly impossible to see the details in motion. The only way is to use the computer to simulate it, and then we can recognize the combustion process driving the car engine. It appears that ATPase is kind of a combustion engine too."
To see what they could see, Schulten and graduate student Markus Dittrich turned to Jonas, PSC's 128-processor HP Marvel system, which is dedicated to biomedical research. With the exceptional capability of this system, they were able to simulate "combustion" in ATPase with quantum theory — to get a picture of how electrons move from atom-to-atom during chemical reactions.
"If you want to do careful calculations," says Schulten, "you have to invest a lot of computing power. It would make no sense to approach this important problem with cheap methodology. We decided to do the most advanced calculation that people do today when simulating a biological reaction." Jonas's very fast EV7 processors and large shared memory made the quantum calculations feasible, and the resulting study turned up invaluable new information about nature's tiniest motor.
This cartoon schematic shows the F0 part of ATPase (blue) sitting in a membrane, where proton (H+) concentration outside (below) the membrane greater than on the inside causes F0 to rotate. The axle (red) of F1 also rotates and triggers rotary "combustion" in three active sites, contained within alternating subunits (green) of F1's hexagonal active-site complex.
Like most motors, ATPase has moving and non-moving parts. There's a wheel that spins, similar to a millwheel, to turn an axle that revolves inside a hexagonal cluster, in which there are three combustion chambers (active sites), each of which, in sequence, charges up with chemical raw materials — adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate — and "fires" to produce ATP.
The wheel part of the protein is called F0. In humans and other mammals, F0 resides in the membrane of mitochondria, microscopic structures inside the cell. In bacteria, where ATPase works reversibly both as an ATP generator and an ATP-fueled motor, F0 sits in the cellular wall. In both cases, it forms a channel for protons to flow through the wall, a flow which — much like water turning a millwheel — causes F0 to rotate.
The other main part of ATPase's structure, called F1, extends into the cellular or mitochondrial interior. F1 includes a central stalk — the axle — that is coupled to and turns with F0. The other end of this axle revolves inside F1's hexagonal cluster, which contains the three active sites where "combustion" occurs.
"F0 spins, and this spins the F1 central stalk," says Dittrich, "and this leads to ATP synthesis." The axle spins in one direction (clockwise when viewed from the membrane side) during ATP production. What's not only fascinating — but also a large benefit for understanding the protein — is that the reverse reaction also works in the laboratory. Put F1, a very large protein by itself, in solution with ATP, and ATP will "hydrolyze" inside F1's active sites into ADP and phosphate and the axle will spin counterclockwise.
Because ATP hydrolysis is a chemical mirror of synthesis and more amenable to laboratory study, it offers an invaluable back-door approach to gaining knowledge about ATPase, and this reaction is what Schulten and Dittrich set out to simulate.
One of the intriguing questions about F1-ATPase is how its three combustion chambers cooperate with each other. During each 360-degree rotation of the F1 axle, each active site, one after another, changes structure and thereby alters its function. For the hydrolysis reaction, each site is open to bind with an ATP molecule, closes to hold it during breakdown into constituent products, and opens again during product release. With each rotation, three ATP molecules hydrolyze, one at a time. Schulten and Dittrich hoped to shed light on the atom-by-atom details of this rotary process.
Another challenging question concerns how the hydrolysis reaction causes the F1 axle to spin. "We don't understand how the chemical reaction is coupled to rotation of the axle," says Schulten. "That's still a big mystery."
To get at the crucial details of bonds breaking and reforming during a chemical reaction requires quantum theory. Schulten and Dittrich therefore used a method called QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics), which made it possible to simulate the entire subunit of F1 that houses the active site, but used quantum theory selectively like a zoom lens to zoom-in on the active site itself, where "combustion" occurs.
In this representation of the molecular structure of F1-ATPase, the rotating stalk (red) protrudes from a hexagonal cluster composed of alternating alpha (yellow) and beta (green) subunits, three of each, within which the stalk rotates. The three active sites are in the beta subunits.
The active-site subsystem for the QM part of the simulations (blue) includes water molecules. The blowup represents this active-site subsystem with ATP.
In total, they simulated two different configurations of the F1-ATPase active-site subunits, more than 8,000 atoms each, while the QM calculations zoomed in on the combustion chamber. Employing up to 32 of Jonas's processors at a time, with an extensive series of simulations, they used over 12,000 hours of computing time. The outcome is several key findings on a crucial biological system.
ATP in solution without ATPase is extremely slow to hydrolyze, taking as long as a week. With ATPase, this reaction goes about 100 billion times faster, a huge speedup that researchers have been hard pressed to explain. The Jonas simulations reinforce Schulten and Dittrich's finding (in a prior simulation study) that ATPase hydrolysis — in which water attacks ATP to break it down — is carried out by two water molecules in concert, rather than only one, as had been thought. This finding — unobservable in laboratory experiment — is a big step toward explaining ATPase's remarkable catalytic efficiency.
"In order to have this kind of concerted action of two water molecules," explains Dittrich, "they have to be arranged in a particular way. This is accomplished by ATPase and won't happen in solution because there it's unlikely the water molecules will assume this special conformation. If we didn't have this mechanism, the reaction would take place on a much slower time-scale and wouldn't lead to the observed physiological rates."
The simulations also show, unexpectedly, that there's no energy change in the active site as ATP breaks down into its reaction products — a finding that goes further than experiments in establishing that the reaction itself doesn't provide any force toward making the F1 axle rotate. "It's not the chemical event that drives the rotation," says Dittrich, "which means we have to look at other possibilities." The two remaining possibilities are when ATP binds to the active site or when the reaction products are released.
Perhaps most importantly, the simulations reveal that one of the amino acids in the active site of F1-ATPase — arginine — appears to play a key role in coordinating the timing among the three active sites. This amino acid — referred to as the arginine finger — seems to operate like a spark plug. It shifts its position depending on whether ATP or the reaction products are in the combustion chamber. "We think that the findings," says Schulten, "particularly with respect to the arginine finger, could well prove to be a crucial part of this puzzle."

Is it really 2011 all over again it seemed like it at the conclusion of last night's NBA All-Star Game. Once again TSN cut bait and ran straight into Sportscentre without letting Canada in on who won the MVP. Could you imagine how furious people would have been if say DeMar DeRozan was in the running? He wasn't but had an admirable first appearance in the game. That is a story for another day.
As loyal readers of the DNB might recall that event in 2011 was the genesis of a hashtag that trended on Twitter. (#TSNHatesBBALL) I am its creator and it was given a re-birth last night although I don't think or know if it trended anywhere nor do I care. It did trend in Toronto on that night in 2011 though. TSN never responded to it in any way which makes sense, why would you, to such an irrational statement.
Did I literally mean that they hated basketball? Not really, I mean I have had Jack Armstrong who works there in this blog more than anyone. Last year I did a podcast with Josh Lewenberg who has moved on to bigger and better things and is covering the team now home and away. Josh was even at the All Star Weekend. I am happy and proud for him to have had such success. My feelings on Jack are well documented and he will be in the blog tomorrow talking about a variety of topics on the Raptors.
Here is the thing it is not the people at TSN that care about basketball that are the problem. In fact the people they have for basketball are pretty damn good with some exceptions. I think we all know who I think those are and I really don't' want this piece to be about that because it really isn't the issue here.
TSN has if you haven't noticed added a lot of basketball content. Most of it is shoved over to the secondary network TSN2 and this is where we start to see the issue.
See what TSN doesn't want to accept or acknowledge is the way they are perceived by the basketball fan base in this country. Basketball fans feel that the network has treated them and the sport they love like a second class citizen. Which it is hard to make the argument they haven't. All-Star Saturday Night as much as it was a disaster is a marquee event in the NBA. Was this on main TSN it would have to be right there was no hockey to stand in the way with Olympics going on in Russia? However no it was programmed to be on TSN2 and on the main network was NASCAR. I am not going to bash fans of motor sports here but when you compare the two events one is more significant than the other.
Normally TSN would bury their heads in the sand to all of this stuff but they can't afford to do that anymore. If you somehow missed the news(which with it being about hockey is next to impossible in this country) the NHL is leaving TSN. They will only have a selection of regional games and as such their programming schedule is filled with holes going forward.
So now the network that has made you feel that your sport was second class suddenly wants to embrace it. They already have started too with coverage of Kansas games and Andrew Wiggins. That hasn't worked out as they likely thought with the Raptors success and the lack of a connection between them and Wiggins potentially in the draft.
There is no doubt that you will see more basketball on TSN than you ever have before. Not just NBA but likely more college hoops and who knows maybe even the Canadian Pro League fines some time on there the NBL.
What they have failed to realize or care about is how they have treated all of you and how you feel about them as a result. I have no doubt some of you legitimately feel they hate basketball. They don't they just love hockey more as does Rogers as does a great many people in this country.
If the big bad wolf swears to you he isn't going eat you are you going to believe him? TSN has shown more respect to fans of the CFL than they have of the NBA. I love the CFL but I am not going to sit here and tell you that basketball in the NBA is not a bigger deal than the CFL. It is and it should be especially with so many young Canadians on their way to being part of the NBA.
Make no mistake that is part of all this too. The last thing I am going to do is tell you that the people at Bell or Rogers are stupid people. What I will tell you is they are people that have not seen the bigger picture of sports outside of the NHL with few exceptions. That is the biggest ratings draw and no one will dispute that. Still our friends in the United States find a way to balance sports coverage and not offend people who are fans of any particular sport. Wait a second the Americans are more inclusive than Canadians? This goes against all logic when you look at the two nations in any other context. But in terms of sports it is so true and so evident. Hockey over everything and if you don't like it they don't care because their ratings tell them not to care.
I am not going to shed a tear for the backlash TSN got for botching the All-Star Game yet again which by the way they have responded and said was an honest mistake this time. Which we are told too just be accepting and move on. Well if we hadn't been made to feel like the ugly redheaded step child of sports fans for years maybe they would have a point. The fact is that is how we have been treated and that is now their problem to solve.
There is no question that when the All-Star Game comes to Toronto you will see a display the likes you have never seen from TSN. It will all be so very hypocritical in nature. The fact is TSN is not getting the NHL back in a major way for a long time and it is their job now to try and fix a very broken and bitter relationship with basketball fans. Maybe they can do it, and maybe they can't, but they ultimately are forced to try.
The truth is though at every little mistake they make people are going to be suspicious and not trust them. They have so richly earned that mistrust and deserve it.
In the end the progress is happening and it is miles from what it was in the past. The amount of basketball we get to see in this country has increased by leaps and bounds. We just might not be the fans of who is providing it. The Score had the trust and belief that they cared about basketball. They didn't have a lot else and ultimately with the creation of TSN2 and Sportnet One along with the purchase of MLSE they were dead as a T.V Station. The only thing they had is another ugly red headed step child called the WWE that TSN and Rogers wanted no part of. That was not enough to sustain a network. This is a lesson that even the WWE is learning with having to move their soon to be launching network to the internet.
I am not saying you have to like TSN or thank them for it. I feel they need to earn your trust and faith. Keep in mind though when that NHL Contract runs out in 12 years they will drop you like a bad habit if they can get that back.
As I tried to explain to someone on Twitter this is not something that will be fixed overnight or anytime soon. It will take a generation for people that have a different outlook on covering sports to be in power making the decisions. The people now are convinced that Hockey is the golden goose that will never die. So screw all the fans of anything else unless we actually have to be nice to them.
It's play nice time for TSN because the Golden Goose has left the nest.
Opps TSN Did It Again.

Please keep in mind.People in the us truly don't care about hockey either. So it works 2 ways if you want to compare countries. Tsn is not a sports channel. It s a hockey channel with a side show of sports. There are other sports that give no love to a diverse country like cricket rugby and soccer. Like you said they have not openee their eyes and missing a wide audience who could care less about hockey.ReplyDelete

High Island Reservoir is one of Hong Kong's most popular geological sites. Here, volcanic rock composes neat arrays of giant polygonal joint columns along the shore. Amongst these the hexagonal rock columns are most typical examples. Around High Island Reservoir, especially the East Dam, you can observe the most typical hexagonal columnar joints from different angles. Looking down from the East Dam rock cliff, you have a clear view of buckles in the hexagonal columnar joints. Judging by the s-shape section, we know the rock columns buckled under gravity before it could cool down completely and solidify, and thus the scene we see today. . Po Pin Chau just off the East Dam is another interesting place to see extraordinary formations. Geology enthusiasts will certainly cherish the opportunity to see towering rock stacks and fascinating hexagonal joints.
Overview and HistoryHong Kong sits on the south coast of China, on the Pearl River Delta. It's got a population of more than seven million people and is one of the most densely populated places on earth. It also appears to be putting into place the template for population management, which cities around the world will be implementing as soon as they can afford it. More on that later.Archaeological evidence dates human activity beneath present-day Hong Kong back to the stone age. The area was first settled by people from the mainland during the Han dynasty, around the beginning of the common era (the P.C. term for when B.C. changed to A.D. Whoa!)For hundreds of years, Hong Kong was a small fishing community and haven for travelers, with a few pirates here and there. Then whitey showed up.Western influence reached China at the beginning of the 15th century, when all those great explorers in boats were cruising for loot in strange and mysterious places. Tea and silk were the commodities connecting eastern Europe to China, and Hong Kong was known as a safe harbor through which to pass. When you're carrying the Queen's tea, it's especially important to avoid ARRRRRRguments with pirates. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.Seriously folks -- in the eighteenth century Britain was doing a booming business with China, offering Indian opium to balance their extensive purchases of fine porcelains and everything else. The opium was ordained to be for medicinal purposes only, of course.Well, as you may imagine, the Chinese got sick of opium fiends junking up the place, so they attempted to stop the British suppliers, to no avail. The Opium Wars resulted and ended with China ceding Hong Kong to the British, in fear of their massive naval power. This took place in the year 1841.Colonization soon followed, Hong Kong shot up in value as an international port, and its population increased dramatically. In 1898 Britain acquired additional territories on a 99 year lease -- expiring in 1997. Does that year sound familiar? Read on.In the 20th century Hong Kong changed hands several times. The British surrendered it to Japan during World War Two, then took it back after Japan's defeat, then gave it to China later. Immediately following the war, Hong Kong served as a safe haven for hundreds of thousands of Chinese refugees, while the Chinese National Government was losing its civil war against communist leadership.The population of Hong Kong exploded as corporations seeking to escape Chinese isolationism arrived and set up shop. Cheap labor in the textile and manufacturing industries steadily built up the economy and ensured foreign investment. By the end of the 20th century Hong Kong had become a financial mammoth offering banking services to the world.In 1997 Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule with a few stipulations in place to guarantee its economic autonomy, as much as possible. The phrase "one country, two systems" was coined by the Chinese to describe the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong.Getting ThereWell, where do you want to get to from the Hong Kong International Airport? There are ferries servicing six mainland ports in the Pearl River Delta Region. Airport Express Railway connects directly to downtown Hong Kong, and it has been rated the best airport in the world multiple times.The Airport Express Railway will get you into Hong Kong in about an hour, for $100. Public buses cost $10 and take a little longer. For direct service to your hotel you can take one of the hotel's private buses ($120+) or a taxi ($300+). As you can see, waiting time is optional for those who can afford it.Here's a little blurb on travel times, with further information for access to nearby cities (cross-boundary transport).TransportationGrab an Octopus card when you arrive. Octopus is the world's first electronic ticket-fare card system and the Hong Kong public transportation system is the world leader in people-moving. 90% of Hong Kongers get around on public transportation.Octopus covers the Airport Rail line, buses, ferries, the rapid-transit MTR network, supermarkets, fast food outlets, phone booths... It's how to get around the cashless economy.Nevermind the microchip built into it, you'll get used to having one of those on you at all times -- and soon they'll be internal! What do I mean? Many schools in Hong Kong even use the Octopus card to check attendance, because you read the card's data with an external scanner from a distance. This will the global norm soon. What if that chip is installed in your body? It's in the works baby!The hilly Hong Kong terrain also demands some special modes of transportation. If you've been to Pittsburgh, you may have some idea of how cool it is to ride a cable car up the side of a mountain, overlooking a majestic harbor and city. Multiply that by about ten thousand and you've got Hong Kong: vertical-travel trams, moving sidewalks, and the world's longest outdoor escalator system.People and CultureThe local currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) which is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Official languages are Chinese and English. You're on your own, baby! Dive into the swarming, throbbing, pulsing, crawling and teeming mix!Things to do & RecommendationsThe Peak Tower and its shopping Galleria are the biggest tourist attraction in Hong Kong so don't miss it.Cool off in the Kowloon Park public indoor swimming pool!After that, go see what's happening at the Hong Kong Fringe Club, a non-profit organisation which puts together exhibitions for international artists and performers.Organize sports fans flock to the Hong Kong Stadium, but there's good news for disorganized sportistas too -- Mountain biking is now legal in the parks! Have at it, baby!All this excitement is going to make you hungry. Springtime is traditionally the time to celebrate seafood, summer is for fruits, and winter steams with hot pot soups to keep you warm.The best thing to do is go and find some dim sum. Dozens of plates of tasty small items, sort of like sushi but it's cooked, and the varieties are endless.Since you won't be able to walk down the street without complete and total sensory overload, I'll just whap in the Hong Kong tourist board's guide to dining and leave you to your intuition.Good luck, take it slow and above all -- DON'T SPIT OUT YOUR CHEWING GUM ON THE SIDEWALK. Gum is legal but there's a $500 fine for intentional littering. Enjoy!Text by Steve Smith.

Lewis goes 5 shutout innings, Rangers top Mariners
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Colby Lewis threw five scoreless innings for the Texas Rangers in a 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.
Lewis gave up five hits, struck out three and walked one.
Lewis, the 2012 Rangers' opening-day starter, is coming back from hip and elbow surgery. He has not pitched in the majors since July 27, 2012, and Texas plans to start him in the minors as he builds up strength.
"I'm healthy," Lewis said. "Write what you want to write. I'm really not in a mood to be talking. That's all I've got."
Lewis was not happy he was left out of the Rangers' starting rotation, which includes Tanner Scheppers and Robbie Ross — who have been used strictly in relief in the majors — and minor leaguer Nick Martinez, who was not in the big league camp.
Lewis is scheduled to start a minor league exhibition game Tuesday at Round Rock against Fresno, the Rangers' Triple-A and Double-A affiliates.
"I guess," Lewis said. "I go as directed, right now."
Lewis lowered his ERA from 18 to 8. In his previous start against major league competition, he yielded five runs on five hits, including two home runs, and three walks in 1 1-3 innings against Oakland.
"He threw the ball well today, 72 pitches, five innings, moved the ball around," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He kept his fastball out of the middle of the plate and was able to spot it like he wanted to."
Mariners right-hander Erasmo Ramirez held Texas to one run and three hits, walking none and striking out six in five-plus innings.
The Rangers scored four times in the sixth after Ramirez was replaced by Charlie Furbush. Kevin Kouzmanoff, who has not played in the majors since 2011, hit a three-run homer.
Justin Smoak hit a two-run homer for the Mariners.
Mariners: Ramirez has a 1.14 ERA in six outings, allowing just one run and seven hits, while striking out 10 and walking none in 11 innings in his final two starts.
"Today every single thing was working," Ramirez said. "I just have to continue to do what I've been doing on what's going on in this spring training. I'm happy with what happened today and the last games."
Rangers: Lewis gave up a double and three singles in his longest spring outing.
Martinez thought he would open the season with Double-A Frisco, where he finished last season. Instead, he was told Wednesday he would be the No. 5 Rangers starter.
"Surreal, I can't believe it's happening," Martinez said. "I was a little shocked at first. It still really hasn't set in. It's been pretty crazy so far. I think my dad might still be crying."
Dustin Ackley singled in the sixth and has hit safely in 20 of 22 games, batting .406. Brad Miller went 1 for 2 with a walk and is hitting .439, tops in the Cactus League. Robinson Cano's average dipped to .435 after going hitless in three at-bats with a strikeout.
Among the Rangers' plethora of roster moves, they made two waivers claims: veteran infielder Donnie Murphy from the Chicago Cubs and right-handed pitcher Seth Rosin from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rosin, a Rule 5 draft pick, has never pitched in the majors.
Mariners: Corey Hart (right forearm stiffness) has not played since March 20, but is getting at-bats in minor league games.
Rangers: Yu Darvish got a positive report on his stiff neck after being examined Wednesday by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas. There is no structural damage and no injection will be needed.
"It's as good as news we could have gotten," Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine said. Darvish will resume playing catch Saturday, but will start the season on the disabled list to regain stamina and arm strength. He has not pitched since March 16.

The Arizona Cardinals' eight-game losing streak largely has been devoid of drama, outside their rotating quarterback situation. Some of the Cardinals' frustrations apparently boiled over Sunday during a 7-6 loss to the Jets in New York.
KTAR-AM in Phoenix reported Monday that defensive tackle Darnell Dockett likely will face disciplinary action after an on-field incident with teammate Kerry Rhodes.

Whisenhunt later was asked about the report on the same radio station and didn't deny what happened.
"We prefer to keep internal matters within the team and not discuss them publicly," Whisenhunt said.
Whisenhunt also declined to choose a starting quarterback for this week's game against the Seattle Seahawks, making it clear the Cardinals could remove rookie Ryan Lindley from the starting lineup. They have a brutal stretch to end the season, with road games against the Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, in addition to home games against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears.
If the Cardinals can't beat the Lions, Whisenhunt could be staring at a 12-game losing streak to end the season.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

BBPix News...
I just completed an account purge over at our free image host BBPix.com. In total well over 200 'dummy/spam' accounts were deleted.
I'd also gotten a few complaints about the BBPix watermark so I've temporarily changed it to a more generic one until I can find the time to design a new one. But make no mistake, if you're getting free image hosting from me then your pictures are going to be watermarked - plain and simple. (Of course friends and donating users have the option to disable said watermark in their accounts)
I'm also in search of a new image hosting / uploader script for the site. We're currently using the same backend script we've used for the last 5 or 6 years (Celerondude's Uploader). With the complete disappearance of CeleronDude from the internet and the lack of updates and fixes to the script it's long past time to move on to something more modern. If and when this switch takes place expect to have to sign up for a new account. However I will make absolutely certain that existing files stored on the current site remain intact and therefore your various forum links to them will continue to work as normal.
As usual I remind BBPix users that the use of our service is not a right but a privilege. Porn and illegal files are not allowed on the service and any user caught uploading such content will have their account summarily deleted without prejudice.
Thank you and enjoy.

MEXICO CITY — The president-elect of Honduras agreed on Wednesday to grant safe passage to the Dominican Republic for ousted President Manuel Zelaya next week, in a deal designed to offer a graceful exit for the deposed leader.
The accord, which was signed Wednesday by the incoming Honduran president, Porfirio Lobo, and President Leonel Fernandez of the Dominican Republic, would guarantee Mr. Zelaya full rights, which would allow him to travel and speak publicly.
Mr. Zelaya, who was overthrown in a coup last June, called the proposal "a good gesture" and said that he would study it, the Honduran media reported.
He has been living in the Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, since last September, unable to leave for fear of arrest. The de facto government that took power after the coup has said he faces many charges, including abuse of power and corruption.
A similar deal under which Mr. Zelaya would have gone to Mexico fell apart last month when the de facto government insisted that he had to request asylum outside the country, which he refused to do. Now, with the end of Mr. Zelaya's presidential term imminent and the promise of a more dignified status, he may be more inclined to accept.
Resolving Mr. Zelaya's future would be an important step for Mr. Lobo, who has been lobbying for international recognition of his government after he is inaugurated on Jan. 27. With the exception of the United States and a handful of Latin American countries, most nations have yet to say whether they will recognize Mr. Lobo's administration.Continue reading the main story
Most countries refused to recognize the de facto government after the coup and suspended most aid to Honduras, which is one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere.Continue reading the main story

Okay so now I live in a world where this is a real thing….
I'm seven shades of confused right now (which I suppose is apropos) as an epic internal geek out battle between my 7 year old self and my 30 something self are trying to determine who is more geeked that the picture above is a real thing. A real episode of community based on the GI Joe animated cartoon. I mean how fricken obscure are we trying to make this show that we are basing episodes on a cartoon from nearly 30 years ago?
Not that I'm complaining, I just simply don't know how to process this.
From EW.com:
"Given that knowing is half the battle, it's about time you received more intel aboutCommunity's animated episode. Airing April 3, "G.I. Jeff" pays tribute to the '80s animated series G.I. Joe, and you can take your first peek at the Study Group reimagined as figures of action in the photos above and below: There's Jeff (Joel McHale) as Wingman (yes, he has a backpack with wings), Annie (Alison Brie) as Tight Ship, Britta (Gillian Jacobs) as Buzzkill, and Shirley as Three Kids."
This is like some random dream mash up that I had but is actually a real thing. What is left for this show?
Noticeable by his absence in the article of course is everyone's favorite mental patient to be Abed. He's emotionally detached, can't relate to people…I'm thinking Snake Eyes is the best fit for him!
And yes I know the characters listed aren't exactly lining up with true Joe/Cobra counterparts but lets do the rest of the main cast. Maybe Hickey can be Hawk, Professor Duncan can be Major Bludd or Tomax/Xamot, Chang would be Zartan, Troy (yes Troy why can't I bring him back for my imaginary episode?) can be Stalker…(man that wasn't supposed to be racist I promise, but he's friends with snake eyes and uh…likes hip hop…or something…)
I'll be really upset if Dean Pelton doesn't play half Destro/half Baroness…
But then who plays Cobra Commander you ask? Who can pull off that impossible combination of power and paranoia, desired but despised, well off but whiny…Pierce Hawthorn ladies and gentlemen…

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Should the New York Mets trade Daniel Murphy, which has been widely speculated, general manager Sandy Alderson didn't seem enamored with his replacement options.
"I think we'd be comfortable if we had a number of candidates we could sort through during spring training,'' Alderson said when asked if he'd be comfortable with Eric Young as Murphy's replacement.
Alderson named Young and Wilmer Flores as options, as well as Ruben Tejada should the Mets trade or sign a shortstop. The Mets aren't close to either.
There's been speculation since the Mets signed Curtis Granderson that Murphy's job was in jeopardy because of the proposed move of Young to second base.
Should the Mets opt to keep Murphy and not move Young, they'll have the problem of deciding who would be their leadoff hitter.
One option might be Juan Lagares, but his high strikeout ratio isn't conducive to hitting leadoff. Another possibility could be Murphy, who has performed well hitting leadoff in the past, but has the potential for greater run production batting lower in the order.
LATER TONIGHT: Breaking news if any. Otherwise a first-day wrap.
