Many years ago we encountered an environment where the client wanted the old system refactored into the new. The "new" here being the Netezza platform and the "old" here being an overwhelmed RDBMS that couldn't hope to keep up with the workload. So the team landed on the ground with all hopes high. The client had purchased the equivalent of a 4-rack striper for production and a 1-rack Striper for development. Oddly, the same thing happened here as happens in many places. The 4-rack was dispatched to the protected production enclave and the 1-rack was dropped into the local data center with the developers salivating to get started. And get started they did.
The first team inherited about half a terabyte of raw data from the old system and started crunching on it. The second team, starting a week later, began testing on the work of the first team. A third team entered the fray, building out test cases and a wide array of number-crunching exercises. While these three teams dogpiled onto and hammered the 1-rack, the 4-rack sat elsewhere, humming with nothing to do.
We know that in any environment we encounter, with any technology we can name, the development machines are underpowered compared to the production environment. And while the production environment has a lot of growing priorities for ongoing projects, we don't have this scenario for our first project, do we? Our first project has a primary, overarching theme: it is a huge bubble of work that we need to muscle-through with as much power as possible. That "as much as possible" in our case, was the 4-rack sitting behind the smoked glass, mocking us.
And this is the irony - for a first project we have a huge "first-bubble" of work before us that will never appear again. the bubble includes all the data movement, management and backfilling of structures that we will execute only once, right? Really? I've been in places where these processes have to be executed dozens if not hundreds of times in a development or integration environment as a means to boil out any latent bugs prior to its maiden - and only - conversion voyage. But is this a maiden-and-only voyage? Hardly - typically the production guys will want to make several dry runs of the stuff too. We can multiply their need for dry runs with ours, because we have no intention of invoking such a large-scale movement of data without extensive testing.
And yet, we're doing it on the smaller machine. No doubt the 1-rack has some stuff - but I've seen cases where it might take us two weeks to wrap up a particularly heavy-lifting piece of logic. If we'd done this on the larger 4-rack, we would ahve finished it in days or less. Double the power, half the time-to-deliver (when the time is deliver is governed by testing)
In practically every case of a data warehouse conversion, the actual 'coding' and development itself is a nit compered to the timeline required for testing. I've noted this in a number of places and forms, in that the testing load for a data warehouse conversion is the largest and most protracted part of the effort. And if testing (as in our case) is largely loading, crunching and presenting the data, we need the strongest possible hardware to get past the first bubble. A data conversion project is a "testing" project more so than a "development" project, and with the volumes we'll ultimately crunch, hardware is king.
But I've had this conversation with more people than I can count. Why can't you deploy the production environment with all its power, for use in getting past the first bubble, then scratch the system and deploy for production? What is the danger here? I know plenty of people, some of them vendor product engineers, who would be happy to validate such a 'scratch' so that the production system arrives with nothing but its originally deployed default environment.
Yet another philosophy is that we would pre-configure the machine for production deployment, but nobody likes developers doing this kind of thing in a vacuum. They would rather see deployment/implementation scripts that "promote" the implementation. I'm a big fan of that, too, for the first and every following deployment. That's why I would prefer we used the production-destined system to get past the first-bubble-blues, then scratch it, and get the original environment standing up straight, and only then treat it as an operational production asset.
Most projects like this have a very short runway in their time-to-market, and we do a disservice to the hard-working folks who are doing their best to stand up this environment, They need all the power they can get, especially when they enter the testing cycle.
And for this, it's an 80/20 rule for every technical work product we will ever produce. Take a look sometime at what it takes to roll out a simple Java Bean, or a C# application, or a web site. Part of the time is spent in raw development, and part of it in testing. If I include the total number of minutes spent by the developer in unit testing, and then by hardcore testers in a UAT or QA environment, and it is clear that the total wall-clock hours spent in producing quality technology breaks into the 80/20 rule - 20 percent of the time is spent in development, and 80 percent in testing.
And if the majority of the time is spent in testing, what are we testing on Enzee space? The machine's ability to load, internally crunch and then publish the data. On a Netezza machine, this last operation is largely a function of the first two. But we have to test all the loading don't we? And when testing the full processing cycle we have to load-and-crunch in the same stream, no? What does it take to do this? Hardware, baby, and lots of it.
I can say that multiple small teams can get a lot of "ongoing" work done on a 1-rack, no doubt a very powerful environment. I can also say that a machine like this, for multiple teams in the first-bubble effort, will gaze longingly at the 4-rack in the hopes they can get to it soon, because so much testing is still before them, and they need the power to close.
What are some options to make this work? Typically the production controllers and operators don't like to see any "development" work in the machines that sit inside the production enclosure. They want tried-and-tested solutions that are production-ready while they're running. At the same time, they have no issues with allowing a pre-production instance into the environment because they know a pre-production instance is often necessary for performance testing. Here's the rub: the entire conversion and migration is one giant performance test! So designating the environment as pre-production isn't subtle, nuanced, disingenuous or sneaky - it accurately defines what we're trying to do. It's a performance-centric conversion of a pre-existing production solution, now de-engineered for the Netezza machine. As I noted, development is usually a nit, where the testing is the centerpiece of the work.
With that, Netezza gives us the power to close, to handily muscle-through this first-bubble without the blues - we only hurt ourselves with "policies" for the environment that are impractical for the first-bubble.
This brings us full-circle yet again to a common problem with environments assimilating a Netezza machine. The scales and protocols put pressure on policies, because those policies are geared for general-purpose environments. There's nothing wrong with the policies, they protect things inside those general-purpose environments. But the same policies that protect things in general-purpose realm actually sacrifice performance in the Netezza realm. Don't toss those policies - adapt them.

Dez Bryant left the field with 1:21 remaining in the Dallas Cowboys' 37-36 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
The Isiah Thomas-esque move is a no-no within the NFL community.
"Dez Bryant leaving the field was absolutely, 100 percent, positively wrong. Can't do it under any circumstances," said Deion Sanders, an NFL Media analyst and Hall of Fame cornerback who played for the Cowboys.
The word "emotional" was the rationale used by Bryant and his teammates for the wide receiver's early exit.
I walked back to the locker room because I was emotional...it had nothing to do with my teammates we had it... We fought and didn't finishâ
Dez Bryant (@DezBryant)
December 16, 2013
On his weekly radio show with KRLD-FM in Dallas, Jason Garrett defended Bryant on Monday by saying, "Dez is one of the great team guys I've ever been around ... He loves his teammates, but you have to understand how to handle yourself ... he'll learn from this situation."
NFL Replay
will re-air the Green Bay Packers' 37-36 win over the Dallas Cowboys from Week 15 on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at 9 p.m. ET.
» NFL Network schedule
Bryant took some time Monday, during a visit to the Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, to address his decision to walk off the field.
"I was wrong," Bryant said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "It didn't have anything to do with my teammates. I just ... I couldn't watch Green Bay kneel the ball down on the field after a tough loss like that.
"I was very emotional. I cried when I got into the locker room. I didn't want to show that stuff on the sideline."
This will be a storyline that takes the focus off the second-half debacle the Cowboys delivered Sunday.

Subscribe To Brad Pitt's Tank Drama Fury Adds Michael Pena Updates
I've already subscribed
David Ayer has had no trouble picking up big, talented names for his upcoming World War II tank drama Fury, having already recruited Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman, but today he's looking to add an actor with whom he's already worked. Michael Pena, who gave a brilliant performance co-starring with Jake Gyllenhaal in Ayer's 2012 LAPD thriller End of Watch, is in in talks to join the cast of the writer/director's latest project.
Set in Germany towards the end of WWII, the movie follows a five-man tank crew who work together to fight off the remaining Nazi forces. Should he sign on, Pena will play "the tank's driver, a butcher who always is drunk -- having vowed never to go into combat sober." The trade also has details on Pitt's character, saying that he will be playing a sergeant named Wardaddy.
Ayer is still in post-production on his latest film, the thriller Ten, which won't be out until Janaury of next year, but he is already moving quite fast with Fury. Columbia Pictures has picked up the movie for distribution, cameras are scheduled to start rolling this September, and the studio plans to have the film in theaters on November 14, 2014.
Pena kicked off the year starring in Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad and will next be featured in DreamWorks Animation's Turbo. He is currently filming David O. Russell's American Hustle and recently played Caesar Chavez in director Diego Luna's biopic about the civil rights activist.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Arkansas coach John L. Smith has amended his bankruptcy filing, listing $40.7 million in debts _ up from $25.7 million just last month.
The filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Little Rock on Wednesday shows Smith has $1.3 million in assets. His previous filing listed $25.7 million in debts and $1.2 million in assets.
The difference appears to be $15 million owed to Branch Banking & Trust in Louisville, Ky. The original filing on Sept. 19 listed the amount owed to Branch Banking & Trust as unknown. The latest filing says the exact amount owed is unknown _ but is more than $15 million.
Smith filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Sept. 6 after a series of real estate investments went bad. The largest debt listed is $20 million to Terra Springs LLC of Louisville.

Interested in Language
This is a draft of my cover letter to apply for a master's degree program. I'm really not confident in my formal English. So can anyone review or correct it for me? Thank you very much.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in applying for masters degree program the first year level in Applied Mathematics (M1 de Mathématiques Appliquées) at Ecole Polytechnique. I believe my strong academic background combined with my work experience will fulfill your requirements.
I have just completed my Engineers degree from XXX University with the highest mark of capstone project (9.9/10) and a GPA of 8.29/10 ranking fifth on over 100 students. These results encourage me to apply for Master 1 program in Applied Mathematics at Ecole Polytechnique.
I have been always passionate for Mathematics during my studying at school and university. At high school, although I could not enter the class of Mathematics but class of Physics, I still spent a lot of time on Mathematics. My strong ability in Mathematics and Physics brought me the prize in the National Physical Olympiad for gifted high school students. During university, I still remained a great love with Mathematics by participating in the National Mathematical Olympiad for students in several years, and also won prizes.
For the last two years I have been working in a research program in the cooperation between XXX University and NTT Laboratory (NTT Cooperation, Japan). This has given me both work experience and the acknowledge of application of Mathematics in information technology, especially in system optimization and simulation. My interest has now spread to computers and linked between computers and mathematics.
Once I had a visit to the NTT Cooperation in Japan, I wished that one day [Name of my country] could develop as far as Japan. Nevertheless, I choose France for my target environment because France has long been considered the country of mathematics as well as engineering. I believe that knowledge and skills gained during the Master's studies will be applicable in my home country.
As a hard-working, enthusiastic, young person, I willing to study for the development of [Name of my country] in future. Therefore, I would very much like to achieve this by following this masters degree program in Applied Mathematics. I hope that you will view me as a favorable candidate for this program.
Thank you very much for considering my application. I am looking forward to your positive response.
Sincerely yours,
[My full name]
is there anyone here? Please help me! Could you give me any suggestions or corrections?

Current health information from around the globe
Baby boomers may be active, but that does not mean they know how to exercise safely, according to a report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). In fact, according to the CPSC, sports-related injuries among adults 35 to 54 increased 33 percent from 1991 to 1998.
General exercise and running accounted for the largest increase in injuries. In 1998, these activities resulted in more than 30,000 visits to the hospital room for boomers, almost triple the number reported in '91. The findings are not meant to discourage older adults from exercising; rather, they are meant to caution boomers to use common sense. Warming up and wearing the proper gear can help decrease these sports-related injuries, which added up to $18.7 billion in medical bills in 1998.
Certainly, the health and fitness industry can help trim this staggering figure. By providing professional advice, personal trainers and other club experts can teach boomers how to exercise in ways that decrease the risk of injury while increasing fitness results.
A study published in Preventive Medicine found that just two minutes of stairclimbing several times a week can lower total cholesterol, raise HDL (good) cholesterol and improve the resting pulse rate in sedentary young women. In the study, a team of U.K. researchers measured cholesterol, heart rates and metabolism in 12 women, aged 18 to 22, before and after an exercise program. The 12 women used the stairs for about two minutes a day for five days a week, over the course of seven weeks. The researchers then compared the 12 to a group of 10 women who didn't take the stairs. They found that the women who took the stairs showed significant improvements in health and fitness levels. However, there were no indications that the activity caused meaningful weight loss.
The fact that this simple activity caused cardio improvements is important. Poor cardio fitness is a significant risk factor that leads to death in women. Such a study could be used to encourage women to take advantage of the cardio equipment and programming in your club. Let them know that even a little cardio exercise in your fitness facility can make a difference.
A report from The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery indicates that exercise can help pregnant women who suffer from the soreness that most people assume is an unavoidable part of pregnancy. According to researchers, the weight gain and redistribution of pregnancy put stress on ankles, hips and other joints; however, proper conditioning and a physician-approved exercise program can help alleviate the discomfort.
During their research, investigators studied the gaits of 15 pregnant women in the second half of their last trimester and again one year after the women gave birth. Although the speed and cadence of each woman's walk was almost the same in both cases, the researchers noted that the pregnant women used more muscle strength when they walked, particularly in the hips and ankles. The extra work required of the muscle is what caused the pain, according to the researchers.
If you know of any members who are leaving your club due to pregnancy, use this study to encourage them to stay. Even though they'll need to change their routines, proper exercise will allow them to overcome the musculoskeletal problems associated with pregnancy.
In the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, researchers from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania noted that seniors who exercise strenuously for at least half an hour three times per week can slow, or even halt, the effects of aging on the cardiovascular system. The researchers based this conclusion on an analysis of 37 studies that included 720 adults aged 46 to 90.
The researchers pointed out that the heart's capacity to use oxygen decreases at a rate of 1 percent a year, due mostly to inactivity. However, the investigators found that seniors can improve their cardiovascular systems in under four months and then maintain their cardio capacity for a lifetime.
Although scientific evidence supporting the necessity of exercise among older adults is plentiful, this study only further emphasizes the importance of physical activity in seniors. You should quote this study in your next marketing campaign aimed at older adults.

The inevitable spread of Porsche 911 variants is underway, with new 991-spec models filling out the lineup like infantry divisions following Guderian into France. Here is the Carrera 4S, and everything we know about the upcoming four-wheel-drive 911.
Porsche has been building four-wheel-drive 911s since the first 964s in 1989, and the über-911 959 got four-wheel-drive three years earlier. While enthusiasts whine endlessly about how the extra driven axle disturbs the purity of the 911's design, they've been popular with everyone who doesn't live in climates where it never rains or snows.
The price difference between the two- and four-wheel-drive for the last-generation 997s was $6,300, so given that a new 991 Carrera S starts at $96,400, we can expect the 4S to go up a similar amount.
For your money, you don't get any more than the two-wheel-drive car's 400 horsepower, but traditionally you do get the wider track of the 911 Turbo.
We haven't yet seen if Porsche will stick with the clutch-based differential they used in the 997 C4S, Turbo and Turbo S. Car And Driver reported that this solution required Porsche to reengineer the whole front bulkhead, leaving no room for a spare tire.
In the end, it's not the 911 we're most excited about, but it is the 911 that is less likely to have you skidding down a slushy hill into a parked car. We can expect to see it undisguised later this year.

A movie aficionado in the 15600 block of NE Woodinville-Duvall Road was apparently quite adamant about his/her Redbox selection, using a blunt force instrument on the touchpad instead of the delicate finger touch activating conductance sensing system, thus foiling the resulting electric field (which oscillates at 200-300 kHz) which would have resulted in the successful delivery of the intended DVD.
This person should be considered a menace to all sensing activators, including pedestrian and elevator buttons.
Unintended Recipients
A King County Sheriff's Office deputy found two females helping themselves to the contents of a donation station in the 16500 block of 124th Avenue NE. This take-out fest came to an abrupt end when one suspect was identified as having a warrant for her arrest, and some suspected methamphetamine was found in her pocket. She was booked into jail for the warrant with drug charges pending.
Crush and Run
Police responded to the report of a drunk driver after a civilian followed him to a gas station near the intersection of 156th Avenue NE and Woodinville-Duvall Road and attempted to take his keys. Our vigilante was caught flat-footed as the car drove away at a high rate of speed, running over his foot as the getaway was made.
The Ultimate Kegger
Unknown suspect(s) cut the lock and stole 12 beer kegs from outside a business in the 14500 block of 148th Avenue NE. Stay tuned for next week's Police Beat report to see if there are any reports of wild, unruly Woodinville keggers going on.

10 Photos Of Rappers Rocking Suits On The Red Carpet At The Grammy Awards
At most awards shows, rappers wear whatever they want. Baggy jeans? Check. Fitted hat? Sure, why not? A hoody with a big mustard stain on the front of it? Er, okay, that'll work. Obviously we're being facetious, but at most awards shows, rappers don't put a whole lot of thought into what they wear. They typically show up in whatever outfit they've got picked out for that day. But, the Grammy Awards are different.
For the Grammys, rappers tend to go all out. They get their best suits tailored. They throw on a pair of cufflinks. And, that big mustard stain? Yeah, that's gone, son! This is, after all, the Grammys, so rappers like to look their best when they step out on the red carpet. Just take a look at what some of them have worn over the years.

About Dental Cleanings
Even with a good home oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can still build up around the enamel. This can lead to decay, cavities, and bacterial infections and other problematic areas. To help the teeth stay healthy and clean, Forest Park, IL residents should have a professional dental cleaning at least twice a year at DentalWorks - Forest Park with our dentists. This is also known as a prophylaxis. During a professional dental cleaning, our dentists will use professional tools to carefully remove plaque and tartar on the enamel. After the cleaning, the teeth will be buffed and polished and any additional dental treatments such as fillings and crowns will be discussed. Consistent dental exams and cleanings are important for a clean and healthy mouth.
What to Expect
Dental cleanings are generally painless, but if a patient has sensitive teeth or gums, a numbing cream can be used. In addition, if the patient has trouble getting through a dental cleaning due to fear, mild sedation options are also provided at DentalWorks - Forest Park. A cleaning usually begins with an ultrasonic tool that helps to loosen plaque and tartar. Next, our dentists use hand tools such as scalers and curettes to remove build-up from the gumline and enamel. The final step is to brush, polish, and buff the enamel. Flossing and/or fluoride usually completes the procedure.
Treatment Aftercare
Once the teeth are cleaned, our dentists may perform an oral examination to check for signs of any oral conditions such as cancer or gum disease. To ensure the teeth stay healthy, patients should establish an at-home oral health regime of brushing and flossing daily. Patients should schedule their next dental cleaning at DentalWorks - Forest Park prior leaving the office, generally within six months.
More Information
Insurance Coverage
Because a professional dental cleaning twice a year is considered a necessary preventative care treatment, most dental insurance carriers will cover a large majority of the cost. DentalWorks - Forest Park will verify with each patient's insurance provider to determine their coverage before billing the patient directly. Patients without dental insurance may inquire about financing plans through DentalWorks - Forest Park.
Plan Your Procedure
Clean and Polished
If you put off your regular dental cleaning, the risk of additional dental problems could arise. To achieve your healthiest smile, schedule an appointment for a professional dental cleaning at DentalWorks - Forest Park in Forest Park, IL with our dentists. Consistent dental cleanings keep your teeth and gums clean and remove plaque and tartar. This prevents gum disease and cavities and keeps your smile looking whiter and brighter.

Academic Regulations & Procedures
Language Requirement
Students may meet the language requirement in four different ways:
- by testing out with an appropriate score in the CEEB Advanced Placement examination, International Baccalaureate examination, or in another standardized examination selected by the faculty of a particular language in consultation with the Associate Dean of the College; or
- by satisfactory completion (grade of S, C- or better) on the fourth-level courses (fifth-level in the case of Arabic, Japanese and Chinese); or
- by passing a proficiency examination designed or selected by the faculty of the particular language in consultation with the Associate Dean of the College; or
- by passing a special examination with speaking and reading components (if a written language), prepared by an expert for those languages not taught at Carleton. Arrangements are made by the Associate Dean of the College Andrew Fisher.
Language Progress
Students who receive advanced placement in a language and wish to use that language to satisfy the language requirement should begin with that level of placement when it becomes available in the first year, unless otherwise counseled by their academic adviser.
A student must begin to fulfill the language requirement before the fifth term at Carleton. In sequential language courses, a student must earn a C- or better to progress to the next course.
The College expects all students to complete the language requirement. The Academic Standing Committee (ASC) may grant an exemption to the language requirement on the basis of a documented language learning disability. For any student granted an exemption, the ASC has the authority to waive additional courses or require from one to three courses in linguistics, literature and/or culture.
Students experiencing inordinate difficulty in mastering a language in the classroom, with no history of a language disability, may be eligible for a referral for testing. In addition to evidence of difficulty in language study, the ASC expects students to have made a good faith effort, to have attended class regularly, and to have sought help from the various resources available at Carleton (i.e., instructors and tutors). More information on the exemption procedure.
Students deficient in credits who attempt to make progress in fulfilling the requirement may petition to earn credits for summer language study.

blanket), I decided to try a Dalek washcloth. Yes, I do still have a scarf in progress for Chris, but it's been so warm this winter, he doesn't really need it anyway. Besides, that thing is taking forever.
This washcloth, however, is knitting up quick! I've completed the skirt and soon it will be onto the eye-stalk and finishing border.
I'm totally going to make another one of these in green.

Illini can't keep pace with Lighty, Buckeyes.
Raise your hand if you thought Illinois would beat No. 2 Ohio State Tuesday.
An 11-point favorite, the league-leading Buckeyes became the first team to shoot better than 50 percent against Illinois this season, and Ohio State also held a 25-6 advantage in points off turnovers while rolling past the Illini 89-70 in a Big Ten Conference basketball game at Value City Arena.
The Buckeyes shot 53 percent and lost only three turnovers while overpowering the Illini, who kept it close by shooting 8-for-9 from the 3-point line in the first half. The Illini, who experimented with another lineup change and started freshman guard Crandall Head, said their most important game of the season comes against visiting Iowa Saturday (6 p.m., BTN).
"It would have been nice to get this one,'' said Illini forward Mike Davis. "Nobody expected us to win, except ourselves. We've got to get ready for Saturday. We can't lose this game. If we do, we're probably out of the mix for everything. We lose, we're done.''
Illinois defeated Iowa by 10 in the Big Ten opener on Dec. 29 while shooting 72 percent from the 3-point line, and the Illini can't afford another bad loss. They already have two of them -- to Illinois-Chicago (ranked No. 290 in one RPI) and Indiana (No. 179). The common speculation is that Illinois must sweep remaining home games against Iowa and Indiana to stay alive for an NCAA berth.
Simply put, guard Demetri McCamey said, "I told the seniors and the team in the locker room Saturday is the biggest game of our careers.''
A win against the Buckeyes would have looked good on the resume, too, but Illinois fell to 17-11 overall and 7-8 in the Big Ten. The Illini dropped into a three-way tie for fifth in the league standings.
Head, who logged 2 minutes in the previous 11 Big Ten games, made his first college start. The Illini also tried a triangle-and-two defense in the second half. Illinois coach Bruce Weber said McCamey suggested to start Head.
"It was something I told coach Weber, since I haven't been playing good and Crandall has been battling in practice. I told him to give him a chance tonight. They've been playing better than me. It's being a good teammate.''
McCamey said, "I think I'll probably be back in there the next game because it's probably the biggest game of the year. I think I'll be out there.''
The Illini trailed 10-8 before Weber inserted McCamey, D.J. Richardson, Bill Cole and Meyers Leonard into the game with 14 minutes 47 seconds left in the first half. The Illini hung within 33-30 before Ohio State finished with a 14-2 run for a 47-32 halftime lead. The Illini were 1-for-6 with three turnovers during the span.
Davis had 18 points and seven rebounds to lead the Illini. McCamey finished with 15 points and six assists but lost five turnovers. Freshman forweard Jereme Richmond had 11 points, nine rebounds and five assists but also lost three turnovers. Center Mike Tisdale had 14 points, including 4-for-5 shooting from the 3-point line, and five rebounds.
Weber rated the Illini defense as "awful'' after the Buckeyes shot 57.1 in the first half and became the first team since Ohio State last season -- a 37-game streak -- to shoot 50 percent or better against the Illini. Ohio State didn't lose a turnover in the first half and had 18 points off turnovers.
Ohio State senior David Lighty finished with 21 points and six steals, and guard William Buford scored all of his 17 points in the first half.
"If you have a Lighty, he's a heart and soul who just comes everyday and does what's needed,'' Weber said. "We don't have that toughness, that leadership. That's the difference maker.''
Had Illinois played a tougher team in Davis' career?
"Maybe not,'' he said. "We have to play a perfect game to beat them,'' Davis said.
Ohio State (26-2, 13-2) bounced back from losing two of its last three games.
"We were hoping they'd find a way to beat Purdue and catch them off guard,'' Weber said. "We didn't catch them off guard, because they played at a high level.''
Following a 76-63 loss at Purdue Sunday, Ohio State just had a light shooting session and went through the scouting report on Monday to save energy.
"We lost two, but as coach told us, it's not the end of the world,'' said Ohio State guard Jon. Diebler.
NOTES: Ohio State shot 53.1 percent in a 72-53 win over Illinois in Assembly Hall on Feb. 14, 2010. . . Head played a total of 7 minutes in the Big Ten before his start against the Buckeyes. .Illinois report card Front court -- B Mike Davis has put together a respectable stretch of games toward the end of his career. He's playing hard. Back court -- D Starting Brandon Paul and Crandall Head against Ohio State might help down the road, but it didn't do much against the Buckeyes. Bench -- D Demetri McCamey scored but couldn't keep the ball away from Ohio State. Overall -- C- Illinois played hard, but Ohio State seemed in control. This one was never considered a real chance for a win. The Illini must protect the home court in their last two games.

RM Small Business Builders
I am a serial entrepreneur. I own 3 related businesses that I am trying to tie together. You can see my company core values at http://www.rmsmallbusiness.com/.
I am attaching the draft copy to give you a bit of an idea of the style I am looking for which is professional yet a bit quirky. I like pushing the envelope to a certain degree. I am into Dave Mathews and David Letterman.
Business to business. Mainly small businesses who are struggling to run their whole business and want to outsource some of their tasks to another business (ours). The work is unexciting yet needs to be done efficiently and accurately so the target customer can build confidence in me. I am trying to breath some life into a dull part of a business, which is shipping and warehousing their products.
Card should speak to small business owners needing help as well as staff at smaller companies who need a solution to a problem that was dumped on them on top of their already heavy workload, where we are not necessarily their lowest cost option.
I want a rack card that can be handed out at trade shows. A winning design would be something I hand out that the recipient will want to leave on their desk, hang on the wall, or show to others in their company. It needs to inform the audience of our services as well as show why we are a bit different (and better) to work with.
Design must be respectful and tasteful.
I will supply the copy and I would like you to use or complement my corporate colors (which you will see on the logo on my website). I have attached a draft of the copy for one subject area that will become one of the rack cards. Different copy will be used for different cards using the same design.
Design must fit on a 4 x 9 rack card (either orientation) and ideally will be adaptable to follow on graphic work on my web sites.

Subscribe To Beetlejuice Sequel Still On? Seth Grahame-Smith Teases On Twitter Updates
I've already subscribed
Following the smashing success that was the spirited black comedy Beetlejuice, talk of a sequel predictably began. Thankfully, the proposed Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian never came to fruition. (I love me some Beetlejuice, but that sounded insanely terrible.) But we have seen the last of Tim Burton's ghost with the most!
Back in 2011, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author Seth Grahame-Smith resurrected talk of a Beetlejuice sequel. In early 2012, Tim Burton bolstered the project's prospects among fans by confirming that Grahame-Smith's sequel had his blessing, and that Michael Keaton was slated to return as the moldering menace in the cartoonish striped suit. And we might have our first look at Keaton (or someone) in costume thanks to Grahame-Smith's Instagram feed!
Admittedly, this image is not a lot to go on. I tried to get all Sherlock Holmes on it, but as devoted a Keaton fan as I am, I can't comfortably confirm that this is him. Actually, I have a sneaking suspicion because of the strange texture of the striped suit that Grahame-Smith is holding up a Beetlejuice action figure and using some tricky forced perspective. If that's the case, what does this tweet mean? Is there any relevance to the computer screen? Is Beetlejuice's arm blocking the crucial details of the sequel's title page? Or is Grahame-Smith just toying with us? (Pun intended.)
We just don't know! But we do know that Grahame-Smith, who recently scripted Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Burton's Dark Shadows adaptation, will be picking up the plot 26 years after the first film's musical finale. Whether this plot will include the Deetz and/or Maitland families is (frustratingly) unknown.
Maybe if we all chant "Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeuse, " in unison this project will finally kick into gear. Ready? On three…

The pleasantries are out of the way. Now the Patriots and Aqib Talib are getting down to business. "I had the opportunity to meet with him (Monday) and just get caught up a little bit," defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said yesterday during his weekly conference call from Gillette Stadium.
The pleasantries are out of the way. Now the Patriots and Aqib Talib are getting down to business.
"I had the opportunity to meet with him (Monday) and just get caught up a little bit," defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said yesterday during his weekly conference call from Gillette Stadium. "That was all good. Obviously, we're evaluating as the week goes, but we're excited to get going with this week and get ready for Indianapolis. We'll certainly see how that goes.
"But as far as getting a chance to get to know him, it was great. Professional, the guy's been in the league, so no problems there."
The Patriots acquired Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a 2013 fourth-round draft pick (they also received a '13 seventh-rounder). The fifth-year pro can play, as evidenced by his 18 interceptions and 53 passes defensed in 58 games.
No, his problems have come off the field. They've included smoking marijuana, fighting with teammates and allegedly brandishing a gun.
Talib had been on ice since mid-October after receiving a four-game suspension for violating the league's rule on performance-enhancing substances. That ended Sunday and he became eligible to show up for work in Foxboro on Monday.
Talib is expected to practice today and is eligible to suit up Sunday when the Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts in a matchup of 6-3 teams. While the public already has Talib penned into the starting lineup, his new coaches aren't sure what to expect from their newest roster addition.
"I think we're just going to have to wait and see and evaluate it as the week goes on," Patricia said. "Obviously, like all our players that come in, we expect them to work hard and get on board with what we're doing as soon as they can and get out there and contribute in any way we feel is positive for the team."
Transitioning to a new system is generally difficult for any player. It's amplified when it occurs so late in the season due to the ridiculous volume of information that must be processed in a short time.
The fact that Talib, as a cornerback, lines up on the outside and is somewhat isolated from the rest of the defense would seem to lessen some of the load he'll have to bear when it comes to learning schemes and terminology.
The Patriots mostly dismissed that line of thought.
"It's different for every position, like you say," Patricia said. "If you're in the middle between two guys and you're trying to communicate to both ends, it's going to be a different dynamic than if you're to a particular side where you're communicating to one or two players inside of you — right or left. It's obviously all a little bit different.
"But then there are some other factors that come along when you move away from the middle of the formation as a player that you have to be aware of and be able to handle that, necessarily, a player that plays in the middle of the formation or the middle of the field doesn't have to be aware of. So, they all kind of have their varying degrees of difficulty and issues."
Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe was activated Saturday and made his Patriots debut Sunday in the win over the Buffalo Bills, getting in on about 10 plays. It was, as they say, a start.
"He went in there and handled his role," offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. "I don't think we ended up with any balls thrown toward him or at him, but he was in there, he did his job, and we'll try to build on that this week."
Shiancoe, a 10th-year veteran who was signed in the offseason, suffered a hamstring injury early in training camp and returned to practice only late last month. He had never missed a game in his career until this year.
Shiancoe spent the previous five seasons in Minnesota and was consistently productive, averaging 41 receptions and nearly five touchdowns. He's considered more of an old-school tight end rather than a new-age model, like teammate Aaron Hernandez.
"There is always a place to put a tight end on the perimeter if the guy can catch and force people to tackle him," McDaniels said. "So that's not something that I would say that we wouldn't do, but I would say that the closer to the formation that he is, that's kind of what he has been used to in his career. Aaron is a little bit of a hard guy to copycat."
The Patriots signed guard Mitch Petrus yesterday to bolster a position that took a hit Sunday as Logan Mankins (ankle) and Dan Connolly (back) were injured in the win over the Bills.
The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Petrus was released by the New York Giants on Nov. 3 after having appeared in 23 games since being drafted in the fifth round out of Arkansas in 2010.
In addition, the practice squad saw an exchange of linebackers with Jeff Tarpinian returning after having been released from the 53-man roster Monday and Jerrell Harris departing.

'Silent Hill: Revelation 3D' Score to be Released
Lakeshore Records will release the Silent Hill: Revelation 3D - Original Soundtrack digitally on Tuesday, October 30 and in stores on December 18, 2012. The album features original music by Jeff Danna (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Resident Evil: Apocalypse).
"[Director] Michael Basset was clear that he wanted the score to be more musical for this film than for the first Silent Hill movie," said Danna. "He said, 'I definitely want there to be an emotional arc to these characters and this story, and I need you to inject more musicality and orchestral elements into the score to support that.' In that way, the score is going to differ from the first film and from the games."
Born in Canada to a musical family, Jeff Danna has created scores for a long and varied list of films. His credits include such divergent projects as Fracture, The Kid Stays In The Picture, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Boondock Saints, Lakeview Terrace, Chicago 10, Silent Hill, The Grey Zone, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and Closing The Ring for director Richard Attenborough. This fall Danna's work can also be heard in theatres on The Expatriate, and his work on the mini-series Continuum is ongoing on the small screen.
Based on the groundbreaking video game franchise, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is the sequel to the hit film Silent Hill, which opened to number one at the U.S. box office and took in nearly $100 million at the worldwide box office. Featuring an unparalleled horror experience, Konami's Silent Hill franchise has captivated fans for more than a decade and has spawned a hit comic book series, graphic novels, collectible action figures and numerous soundtracks from rock bands.
In Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father (Sean Bean) have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn't fully understand. On the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.
"The challenge for this film was unique. Michael Bassett's storyline required that I combine Akira Yamaoka's otherworldly textures and sound designs with music that was more emotionally driven and conventionally harmonic. The dark string passages that intertwine with the intense industrialized sound of SH2 are a unique chemistry," Danna explained. "I'd look forward to the chance to work again with Akira Yamaoka on another Silent Hill film."

StarCraft is on my top-five games list—a list I won't talk about—so the news that StarCraft 2 was in development was enough to make me a very happy man. I bought the original StarCraft a few days after release; I still have the big-box Protoss packaging the game came in. I just refuse to keep it installed as play can make me lose entire weeks of my life . We may have some more time to brush up on the first title, though, as Blizzard's Rob Pardo has told MSNBC that we won't get the game this year. I can feel your sadness.
The only thing I can give you [that's] concrete is it's not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we'd have it out by Christmas, but that's definitely not happening.
The entire interview is a good read, but the other big piece of information that jumped out at me was the fact that Blizzard is going on the record to say there won't be a fourth race. So we're going to be treated to more Terran on Protoss on Zerg action. Sexy!
Will any familiar characters from "StarCraft" and "Brood Wars" be returning to "StarCraft II?"
Yes. The storyline will follow the main story arc that we left off in "Brood Wars," just a couple of years after that. You can certainly expect to see many of the returning characters.
But no fourth race?
No fourth race. We talked a lot about it. We ultimately decided we wanted to focus on the three races we had.
I'm not optimistic that we'll be seeing this game any time soon, but that doesn't help my insane longing for the title. The devs do address one thing that gives me pause about the release: StarCraft is such a huge game that we've all built up in our minds in the years since release that it's going to be hard to overcome the rose-colored memories. Blizzard has quite the challenge in topping one of the best games ever made, and there have been many RTS titles released since StarCraft. Pardo doesn't seem scared by the high stakes, though: "We've definitely never been shy to go into a crowded field, especially a genre that historically we've been one of the kings of."

Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes and Induction of β-Cell Proliferation in NOD Mice by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
We evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) on autoimmune diabetes development in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. Animals received no treatment or daily 60-min HOT 100% oxygen (HOT-100%) at 2.0 atmospheres absolute and were monitored for diabetes onset, insulitis, infiltrating cells, immune cell function, and β-cell apoptosis and proliferation. Cyclophosphamide-induced diabetes onset was reduced from 85.3% in controls to 48% after HOT-100% (P < 0.005) and paralleled by lower insulitis. Spontaneous diabetes incidence reduced from 85% in controls to 65% in HOT-100% (P = 0.01). Prediabetic mice receiving HOT-100% showed lower insulitis scores, reduced T-cell proliferation upon stimulation in vitro (P < 0.03), increased CD62L expression in T cells (P < 0.04), reduced costimulation markers (CD40, DC80, and CD86), and reduced major histocompatibility complex class II expression in dendritic cells (DCs) (P < 0.025), compared with controls. After autoimmunity was established, HOT was less effective. HOT-100% yielded reduced apoptosis (transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling-positive insulin-positive cells; P < 0.01) and increased proliferation (bromodeoxyuridine incorporation; P < 0.001) of insulin-positive cells compared with controls. HOT reduces autoimmune diabetes incidence in NOD mice via increased resting T cells and reduced activation of DCs with preservation of β-cell mass resulting from decreased apoptosis and increased proliferation. The safety profile and noninvasiveness makes HOT an appealing adjuvant therapy for diabetes prevention and intervention trials.

Honestly, I've never felt that, except on bumpy trains. I just stood it up and tried to poke it over, it needs a fair bit of effort to push it over. I can appreciate the feeling that it's too vertical from an ability to see viewpoint, unless you're close to level with it or a few feet away (maybe 3-4), you need to be pretty level with it to see the screen well.
Same here. And not sure why Surface would be any more kid-proof.
It leans back further and has a wider, stronger base.
Actually, I'm not even sure how useful the ipad is when standing up like that since it is so close to vertical. Again, I just don't use it like that.

These condoms are awesome; I haven't found a flavored condom that tastes better than the Gylde condoms. The condom itself doesn't have much of a latex taste or smell, so the flavor can be sweet but not over-powering because it's not trying to cover up a latex taste. These are by far my favorite!

When the Giants won the Super Bowl after the 2007 season, they followed it up with a 2008 season that started even better — they won 11 of their first 12 games and spent most of the year as the favorites to repeat. Then they lost three of their last four regular-season games and their first playoff game, and that season is remembered mostly as a disappointment.
The current Giants say they don't see next year being a similar disappointment.
Mathias Kiwanuka says he doesn't see any reason the Giants can't win next year's Super Bowl.
"If we won it this year, there's no doubt in my mind that we can," Kiwanuka told the New York Post. "We've just got to get in the playoffs. That's it."
Of the way the Giants collapsed down the stretch in 2008, Kiwanuka said, "We've got to make sure that doesn't happen again."
Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks said he thinks the Giants can be a dynasty.
"I feel like the sky's the limit for this organization and our team," Nicks said. "I feel like we can be at this level for a long time."
Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph said he thinks this season's 9-7 regular season didn't come close to demonstrating how good the Giants actually are — and he doesn't even think the Super Bowl shows how good the Giants actually are.
"Actually we won the game, but I still don't feel like we played our best game yet this whole season," Joseph said. "I feel like next year is going to be a good year. Just everybody stays focused and everybody stays hungry, and I think we should have a good season next year, too."

JPMorgan, Feds reach deal on Madoff
JPMorgan Chase will pay more than $2 billion to settle civil and criminal charges that it aided Bernie Madoff's infamous Ponzi scheme by ignoring warning signs that the notorious financier and investment adviser was swindling his clients.
Under the deal, announced by federal authorities on Tuesday, law enforcement officials agreed to defer criminal prosecution of the bank after it acknowledged the facts of the government's case and agreed to pay $1.7 billion to Madoff's victims. No individuals will be charged.
Story Continued Below
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said JPMorgan failed to take its anti-money laundering responsibilities seriously and, in doing so, helped facilitate one of the greatest financial frauds in U.S. history.
"Today's charges have been filed because, in this regard, JPMorgan as an institution failed — and failed miserably," he said at a news conference.
Along with the $1.7 billion the bank will pay Madoff's victims, the largest Justice Department penalty for a violation of anti-money laundering laws, it also was hit with a $350 million fine from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the bank's regulator.
The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network also announced a $461 million fine against the bank for the violations, but that penalty will be deemed satisfied under the Justice Department deal.
The bank also announced two additional settlements related to Madoff: a $325 million settlement with Irving H. Picard, the trustee liquidating Madoff's firm who has tried to recoup losses for victims, and a $218 million class-action settlement with former Madoff clients who lost all or a portion of their principal investments in the firm.
All told, the bank will pay $2.6 billion to put the Madoff affair behind it.
Madoff, who was arrested on Dec. 11, 2008, is serving a 150-year sentence for defrauding investors of more than an estimated $18 billion.
For more than two decades, Madoff used JPMorgan as his firm's primary bank, conducting the Ponzi scheme almost exclusively through a demand deposit account and other linked cash and brokerage accounts at the bank, according to the deferred prosecution agreement.
In a statement Tuesday, a spokesman for the bank said it does not believe that any JPMorgan Chase employee knowingly assisted Madoff's Ponzi scheme, noting that the fraud was unprecedented and affected thousands of people, as well as the bank.
"We recognize we could have done a better job pulling together various pieces of information and concerns about Madoff from different parts of the bank over time," spokesman Brian Marchiony said.
Critics of the bank were not quite as forgiving.
"Banks do not commit crimes; bankers do," said Better Markets President Dennis Kelleher, a group that advocates for tougher rules for Wall Street. "Until individuals, including executives, are held personally liable, fined and jailed, the crime spree will continue."
Between 1986 and 2008, Madoff's victims deposited about $150 billion into his accounts at JPMorgan, and Madoff promised to invest the money on their behalf — but never did. At the time of his arrest, Madoff Securities maintained more than 4,000 client accounts purportedly valued at $65 billion — in reality, the firm had just $300 million in assets, including $243 million parked in JPMorgan accounts.
Federal officials allege that the bank turned a blind eye to Madoff's Ponzi scheme, violating the Bank Secrecy Act, which requires financial institutions to monitor and report suspicious transactions that could indicate money laundering or other criminal activity.
Madoff's activities began to raise suspicions at JPMorgan as early as the mid-1990s, when a JPMorgan employee flagged a potential check-kiting scheme between one of the bank's largest, most important individual clients and Madoff, meant to boost Madoff's account balances and increase the interest owed to him by the bank. The activity was never reported until after Madoff's arrest in 2008.
In 1998, one unit of JPMorgan conducting a review of Madoff's firm questioned how he had reported consistently positive returns, even during the October 1987 stock market crash, according to the settlement documents.

Vantage Goldfields Limited ("Vantage", "the Company" or the Group) is engaged in the mining and exploration of gold in the Barberton Greenstone Belt of South Africa, a well-developed region with established infrastructure. The Barberton Goldfield is the second largest in South Africa, second only to the Witwatersrand Basin, which is the world's most prolific source of gold. The Barberton Goldfield has produced continuously for more than a century from multi-million ounce gold deposits. The Barberton Greenstone Belt is geologically analogous to the Zimbabwean greenstones which have collectively produced more gold per square kilometre than any other of its kind in the world, including other globally significant greenstone belts such as the Norseman Wiluna Greenstone Belt (which hosts many Western Australian gold deposits, including the Kalgoorlie Golden Mile), and Canada's large Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Vantage Goldfields Mineral Holdings:
The Company's key properties have access to all necessary infrastructure to support current exploration and mining activities. Access by tarred roads is principally via the N4 national highway and R38 and R40 regional routes. The Barberton region is also serviced by a railway link from Kaapmuiden to the main Johannesburg – Maputo line. Vantage's regional offices are situated in Nelspruit, the provincial capital, located approximately 25 km from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.
The Company's mining rights cover the Lily Mine and Barbrook Mines Complex (including the Taylors Mine). Its prospecting rights cover some 16,000 ha of greenstone terrain containing known gold deposits and other exploration targets. These mineral rights surround the central core of the Barberton Goldfield where Pan African Resources plc currently produces some 100,000 oz/annum from three mines (Sheba, Fairview, New Consort).

Between a rock and a Haredi place: profile of a liberal rabbi
Rabbi Dov Lipman is soft-spoken and not even 41 years old, but has seen his share of action on the battleground of Israeli society. He's taken verbal beatings and sustained physical injury. He's won praise and publicity, and drawn fire too, for his tireless struggle against religious extremists literally next door. Lipman is a Haredi-ordained educator (Haredi = ultra-Orthodox), and a religious Zionist with a liberal bent – a rare bird in these parts. His main political arena is his home, the city of Beit Shemesh not far from Jerusalem, with its growing Haredi population. This year, Beit Shemesh became…Read More... | 17 Comments

Christie attacks N.Y. Times, Wildstein
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, after a low-key initial response to Friday's explosive allegations about his involvement in a bridge-closing scandal, mounted an aggressive defense late Saturday afternoon, attacking The New York Times and a former political ally in an email to friends and allies obtained by POLITICO.
"Bottom line — David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein," the email from the governor's office says, referring to the former appointee who reignited the controversy.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Who's who in the Chris Christie bridge scandal)
A letter from Wildstein's lawyer, Alan L. Zegas of Chatham, N.J., asserted Friday that "evidence exists … tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the Governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference."
The subject line of the 700-word email from the governor's office is: "5 Things You Should Know About The Bombshell That's Not A Bombshell." It offers a harshly negative portrayal of Wildstein's character and judgment.
The Christie camp begins by criticizing The Times for its initial characterization of the Wildstein letter: "A media firestorm was set off by sloppy reporting from the New York Times and their suggestion that there was actually 'evidence' when it was a letter alleging that 'evidence exists.'"
( Also on POLITICO: My time with Chris Christie's scandal-plagued aide David Wildstein)
The Times' original story said that Wildstein claimed "he had the evidence to prove it," while later versions stuck to his lawyer's vaguer "evidence exists" formulation.
In a statement Saturday night, the Times said: "We regularly update web stories for clarity as we did in this case. We do not note changes unless it involves an error."
Wildstein's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
( Also on POLITICO: No end to scandal in sight for Christie)
The email from the governor's office again distances Christie from Wildstein's actions: "As he has said repeatedly, Governor Christie had no involvement, knowledge or understanding of the real motives behind David Wildstein's scheme to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge. … The Governor first learned lanes at the George Washington Bridge were even closed from press accounts after the fact. Even then he was under the belief it was a traffic study. He first learned David Wildstein and Bridget Kelly closed lanes for political purposes when it was reported on January 8th."
Then, it gets personal. "In David Wildstein's past, people and newspaper accounts have described him as 'tumultuous' and someone who 'made moves that were not productive,'" the email continues. "David Wildstein has been publicly asking for immunity since the beginning, been held in contempt by the New Jersey legislature for refusing to testify, failed to provide this so-called 'evidence' when he was first subpoenaed by the NJ Legislature and is looking for the Port Authority to pay his legal bills."
The email dips far back into Wildstein's past to buttress its portrayal of him, even alleging that "He was publicly accused by his high school social studies teacher of deceptive behavior."
Christie praised Wildstein's tenure when he resigned late last year after being sought for testimony by the Assembly committee investigating the lane closures. Wildstein has long been portrayed as a close friend of Christie's, and included in the email from the governor's office is a story from the Bergen Record headlined, "Ex Blogger Is Governor Christie's Eyes, Ears Inside The Port Authority."
But during his news conference in January, Christie disputed that the two men have a longtime bond or close personal friendship.

I'm not entirely sure what this is, except that it came on my ESPN3 feed immediately after the end of Baylor's 66-61 win over UConn in women's hoops last night.
A few things are certain. It's a satellite wildfeed from Dhaka, Bangladesh, before the third day of a test match between Pakistan and the host Bangladeshi squad. The announcers are Sri Lanka's Ranil Abeynaike and Pakistani Mohammad Akram, working for what appears to be Dubai-based TEN Sports. A lot of this video features Abeynaike correcting Akram's mistakes, which suggests to me Akram is new to television. It's just really unclear why ESPN3 is broadcasting their aborted (and occasionally hilarious) attempts to record an broadcast intro about how the weather affects a cricket field.
