BOSTON — Hoping to avert two costly health care-related ballot campaigns in the fall, the House on Wednesday unanimously signed off on a bill that sets nurse staffing ratios in intensive care units within hospitals.
If the bill reaches Gov. Deval Patrick and is signed into law before July 2, the proponents of two proposed ballot questions are expected to drop their campaigns. One ballot initiative would set varying nurse staffing ratios in hospital units, and the other would regulate CEO compensation, annual operating margins and financial asset disclosures of hospitals and other facilities.
The bill (H 4228) now moves on to the Senate, which is expected to take up the legislation during a formal session on Thursday, according to Senate President Therese Murray's office.
The Massachusetts Nurses Association, which had been pushing for both ballot initiatives, credited Senate Majority Leader Stan Rosenberg, an Amherst Democrat who is expected to become the Senate president next year, with initiating negotiations that led to the agreement.
"This agreement is specifically to patients in the intensive care unit, which is the critical care area of the hospital. That's where patients need absolute constant supervision and a nurse at their ready at all times," Donna Kelly-Williams, a registered nurse and head of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, said in an interview outside the House chamber after the vote. "And this provides for one patient per nurse to be right there to take care of those patients at the most critical time of their life when they're hospitalized in an intensive care unit."
She added that more nurses could be added to a patient's team, or if a patient requires less care and is stable a nurse could take on an additional patient.
The nurses' association has signed off on the language in the bill, Kelly-Williams said.
Asked if the Massachusetts Hospital Association, which has repeatedly tangled with the nurses' association over the two ballot initiatives, has also agreed to the legislation, Kelly-Williams said, "It is my understanding that they have."
Opponents of past legislation setting nursing staff ratios, which is an issue that has roiled Beacon Hill for over 15 years, have argued that a professional caregiving team at a patient's bedside should determine care levels, instead of a fixed formula.
Earlier in the week, the nurses association launched an ad campaign calling on state lawmakers to respond to high hospital CEO salaries and money stored in offshore accounts. The ads, which are playing on television and radio stations and are scheduled to run through July 2, show a pair of hospital CEOs toasting glasses of champagne on a Cayman Islands beach.
The Massachusetts Hospital Association had hit back, calling the ad "misleading and irresponsible" and saying in a statement that the nurses association "represents a small minority of registered nurses."
Noting that ballot campaigns tend to be grueling and expensive affairs, Rep. George Peterson (R-Grafton), the assistant minority leader, said the proposed agreement saves "everybody a lot of money, pain and agony."
The bill, which passed the House with no debate, sets up patient-nurse ratios of one nurse to one patient, or one nurse to two patients, "depending on the stability of the patient as assessed by the acuity tool and by the staff nurses in the unit, including the nurse manager or the nurse manager's designee when needed to resolve a disagreement."
Under the bill, the so-called "acuity tool" will be developed and chosen by each hospital in consultation with the staff nurses and the other medical staff, and shall be certified by the state Department of Public Health. The Health Policy Commission, an independent body, would regulate the implementation of the proposed law, including the formulation of the "acuity tool", the method of public reporting of staffing compliance in hospital ICUs, and the identification of three to five patient safety quality indicators.
The bill, which only emerged Wednesday, advanced in the House through a maneuver that included a portion of another bill calling on the state Department of Public Health to administer a "folic acid awareness initiative." Folic acid is a type of vitamin.
The final version of the legislation passed by the House includes both the folic acid initiative and the nurse staffing language.
Hoping to head off referendum, House approves staffing ratios for nurses

(page 1 of 16)
Brides-to-be can find solace at Anastasia's Bridal Salon (3828 Kennett Pike, Greenville, 652-2575). The small boutique offers personalized service while providing a wide selection of wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses and shoes. Though sale items aren't advertised, Anastasia's always offers slow-moving styles at 50 percent off—a steal on retail prices of $1,100 to $5,500. Owner Luba Cawley says Anastasia's specializes in finding the perfect fit, so multiple alterations are one less thing to worry about when planning a fairy tale fete.
Save on BCBG, Nicole Miller, Velvet, Ed Hardy, Splendid and Betsey Johnson at Angel Shack (170 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, 226-8630), one of the hippest spots for women's fashion, when items go for 25 percent off during the holidays.

This Mecca for contemporary fashions also carries its own line, Dru Blue. Opt for Santa's Wish List, where employees will deliver merchandise to your house.
Custom-fit bras make silhouettes shapelier, but the undergarments are pricey. That's why well-dressed women on a budget head to Bare Essentials (4009A Concord Pike, Wilmington, 477-4888) in November, when Wacoal, Eveden, Chantelle and Le Mystere bras, normally priced at $48 to $100, are discounted 25 percent to 50 percent. Hanky Panky lingerie is reduced 15 percent. Bare Essentials also sells active wear and swimwear, and staffers fit bathing suit tops the way they fit bras. For every $200 spent, a customer gets a coupon for 10 percent off her next purchase.

The store also gets creative with giveaways, passing along free accessories such as candles with purchases of more than $200.
Bethany Surf Shop (99 Garfield Pkwy., Bethany Beach, 539-6400) unloads its summer inventory between the end of summer and Christmas. Board shorts, sandals and women's apparel are reduced 20 percent at the beginning of the sale and spike up to 50 percent off as the months go on.

Dakota, Gentle Fawn, Tulle, Nick and Mo, and Alternative, as well as dresses and coats, are discounted 20 percent to 50 percent. Belts, wallets and handbags are discounted 20 percent to 40 percent. Discontinued body care and fragrance lines are fair game, but only sporadically. Jewelry is never on sale, but owner Mimi Sullivan-Sparks will customize an existing piece of jewelry to fit desired lengths, shapes and colors. Special offers come via postcards.

I've been considering this sequence:
I've generated the sequence from the rule
$$V_n=\sum_{0\leq i \lt n} V_i$$ $$V_0=1; V_1=2V_0=V_0+V_0$$
What interests me most, is that this sequence - with its rule requiring the sum of a finite, but unbounded, number of components is remarkably similar to a sequence with a local generation rule requiring doubling of the preceding value. In fact, given a reversed finite leftmost subsequence, an arbitrarily long prefix could suggest that the sequence was the reverse of one generated by a local rule (i.e. $V_n=2V_{n-1}|n\ge1$) and the discrepancy would only become apparent at the penultimate value.
It strikes me that this observation should be relevant to all empirical study... as it demonstrates how two fundamentally different underlying models can generate identical values for an infinite number of tests... and that, unless the single critical comparison (between $V_1$ and $V_2$) is made, an inappropriate model can appear to be supported.
Obviously, there are variants on this theme with different values for $V_0$ and $V_1$ - and each stabilises by $V_4$ to match a local doubling rule... and that $V_0=0$ the result is a constant sequence ($V_i=V_1|i\neq0$)... and that even when I chose $V_1\ge V_0$ I see a similar 'anomaly'.
I'm interested to discover other sequences which, when reversed, can appear to have arisen from a different recurrence relations for an arbitrarily large prefix. For example, are there neat sequences that have two equivalent recurrence relations only for elements after the fifth or later value?

Did not taste good. Had a not inspired flavor. Would not buy it again. It has no comparison to other energy drink which come in different flavors.
Im gonna admit one thing first.. I wasn't sure about this product.. I went in expecting not to like it or maybe I was scared about it being an energy drink. But Dude I never expexted to like it so much that I went out and bought exactly 12 cans. Gave one to the 12 people I care most about in this world, so they too can enjoy it and share it as well. Well it worked because 10 of the 12 already bought some and shared it with either a sibling or parent heck I gave it to 2 of my kids(26 and 24) thats how confident i was left after tasting it. It is now a staple in my refrigerator weekly..
I love the packaging of this energy drink. It definitely helped to give me more energy throughout the day. I also enjoyed the flavor of this drink. I love that it only has 5 calories. It definitely is diet friendly!
As a red bull lover this left some to be desired but once I was able to see past my expectation of my old go to energy drink it wasn't bad ... that being said it's not my favorite flavor
Usually after drinking energy drinks, we get a "crash" after a few hours which means either we need to drink more energy drinks or we sleep it off. The point of energy drinks is to stay awake or awaken ones self. And this organic energy drink did exactly that.

In his latest novel, Cannibals, Moroccan author and painter Mahi Binebine tells a dark tale of illegal aliens, waiting on the beach of Tanger to set sails for Europe. A portrait by Katrin Schneider
In his latest novel "Welcome to Paradise", Moroccan author and painter Mahi Binebine tells a dark tale of illegal aliens, waiting on the beach of Tanger to set sails for Europe. A portrait by Katrin Schneider
In his novel, the Moroccan writer and painter Mahi Binebine tells the story of a group of would-be illegal immigrants huddled on Tangier beach: six men from Mali, Algeria and Morocco, and one woman with her child. These people have given every penny they own to a nameless "human trafficker", and they are waiting for the signal to board the boat.
However diverse their reasons for leaving their homelands and families, they all share a single goal: to escape from a hopeless situation, by starting a new life in Europe. As they don't stand a chance of acquiring visas for the affluent part of the world, they've chosen the illegal path to what looks like freedom. For most of Binebine's protagonists, however, this journey will end in death.
Journey into death
No one knows exactly how many people attempt the dangerous illegal crossing of the Straits of Gibraltar each year, though their number probably runs into the hundreds of thousands. Conservative estimates suggest that hundreds of them perish in the attempt. Though most of these individuals will appear only as statistics, or in brief news reports of bodies washed up on the beaches of Spain, Mahi Binebine's novel gives them a human face - and a history.
Writing and painting
Mahi Binebine himself was able to enter to Europe legally, to study mathematics at the University of Paris at Jussieu. After graduating in 1985, he spent eight years working as a maths teacher. During this period, he began to take an intense interest in painting and literature; for (as he says) he had time enough to do so, and he was also inspired by the Parisian artistic circles in which he moved. Since 1987, his pictures have been shown in various exhibitions, and they can now be found in public and private collections throughout the world (including the permanent collection at the Guggenheim in New York).
From 1994 until 1999, Mahi Binebine lived in New York, before returning to Paris for another four years. In 2002, he went back to live in his home town of Marrakech. "After Le Pen gathered strength", he explains, "France was no longer a country I could live in".
In his pictures, Binebine works with intense, vivid, hauntingly luminous colours. Red and blue tones melt and merge, revealing the outlines of human figures, people in masks, and shadowy silhouettes of female forms. In his literary work, too, women play an important role: he portrays them as strong personalities, capable of asserting their will despite any obstacles the world may place in their path.
Tales of outcasts and failures
Mahi Binebine was born in 1959 and grew up in a house in Marrakech's Old Town. His childhood left a deep impression, and it practically forced his literary themes upon him. He tells of the characters who populated his childhood cosmos: the walking wounded, outcasts and failures – or "those left footsore by life", as he puts it.
In his first novel, "Der Schlaf der Sklavin" (The Sleep of a Slave), the first-person narrator recalls Dada, his family's black slave, and the role she had played in his childhood. On nights when he couldn't get to sleep, she had told him her story: she and her brother had been abducted by slave traders and sold into slavery in Morocco. She had never had any say in her own life; never had she had any control over what happened to her body.
Mahi Binebine's second novel, "Mamayas letzte Reise" (Mamaya's Last Journey), is a homage to the most formative figure in his childhood: his mother. Abandoned by her husband, she had brought up her seven children alone – and this in the patriarchal environment of the Medina in Marrakech. Binebine has created a portrait of an old woman preparing for death – and thinking of her son, who may or may not be still alive.
Family history
Here, the author is drawing on a grim episode from his own family history; for his brother Aziz was one of the young officers who had taken part in the failed military coup against King Hassan III in 1971. For 18 years, he was imprisoned in the desert camp of Tazmamart, under conditions of unimaginable and almost indescribable brutality. Of the 56 prisoners, only half survived; among them, Aziz Binebine.
Mahi Binebine's fellow writer Tahar Ben Jelloun took this story as the basis for his controversial novel, "Das Schweigen des Lichts" ("This Blinding Absence of Light"). For Mahi Binebine himself, the terrible fate of his brother would have been too painful a subject to serve as the raw material of literature, so it seemed wise to entrust the story to his friend.
In retrospect, Binebine now regards this as a mistake, even though he feels Tahar Ben Jelloun's novel turned out well; but the controversy aroused by the book led eventually to the collapse of the writers' friendship.
Mahi Binebine has now written five novels, which have been translated into various languages, and his sixth is due to come out in France next January. It is named after a colour he loves – "Terre d'ombre brûlée" (Burnt Umber) – and it tells the story of a painter who lives in Paris.

Paintings by Mahi Binebine can be viewed on the website of Galerie Al Manar (Casablanca).
"Cannibales" was published in English as "Welcome to Paradise" (Granta Books, 2003; translation by Lulu Norman).

Ford County Board vote on administrator's future pending >
A vote by the Ford County Board concerning the future of Ford-Iroquois Public Health Department. Administrator Doug Corbett could come next week.
Board Chairman Rick Bowen reports he may call a special meeting for next Thursday or Friday.
The Iroquois County Board this week (Tues) voted to recommend Corbett's firing. It's up to the Ford County Board and also the Ford-Iroquois Health Board to take the suggestion to the next step.
Corbett's been under the microscope since last fall when the health board was criticized for a proposed move to provide home health care in Indiana. That project has been scrapped. Corbett has also been under fire in recent months over a contract that his health board awarded to the husband of an employee.

Vice President Joe Biden: Tax Deal Can Be Done in a Snap
(ARLINGTON, Va.) -- Vice President Joe Biden took seven middle-class taxpayers to lunch at a diner in suburban northern Virginia Friday, highlighting their concern about the looming tax hike that could hit at the end of the month.
"This is no time to add any additional burden for middle-class people," Biden said, seated with his guests at a table after the meal had been cleared.
"It would take 15 minutes from the time the decision was made by the speaker of the House to pass and make permanent a middle-class tax cut," he said. "The president would probably have me sprint up to the Hill to bring the bill down and to sign it.
"It can be done like that," he said, with a snap of his fingers.
The White House has been pressuring lawmakers to enact a tax-cut extension immediately for 98 percent of Americans – individuals earning less than $200,000 a year and families earning less than $250,000 a year – a move that would refocus the "fiscal cliff" debate on top tax rates, entitlement spending and the debt ceiling.
Republicans oppose decoupling the middle-income tax cuts from the upper-income cuts, however, preferring to negotiate on an entire package deal.
Negotiations to avert the cliff have stalled over the administration's insistence top rates must rise and power to raise the debt ceiling must shift to the White House.
"There are two irreducible minimum requirements for us," Biden reiterated today, though he noted how much rates could rise is "negotiable."
"I'm an optimistic [person], genetically," Biden said, when asked for his outlook on having a deal by Dec. 31.
Earlier in the lunch, Biden also commented on Friday's jobs report, saying, "I think we have turned the corner" on the economy.
"It's undeniable the trajectory is positive," he said.

Zero-gravity coffee: Espresso machine headed into space
Italian air force Capt. Samantha Cristoforetti will be the first Italian woman to head into space — and also the first astronaut to drink an Italian espresso while in orbit this November.
Cristoforetti — and others on the International Space Station — will be joined by ISSpresso, the first zero-gravity espresso machine.
It's "the first capsule-based espresso system able to work in the extreme conditions of space," according to a statement from Lavazza, an Italian coffee brand.
Lavazza has worked in conjunction with space food engineers at Argotec and the Italian Space Agency to make literal out-of-this-world espresso a reality for astronauts who, until this innovation, only had the option of instant coffee.
On June 15, Cristoforetti tweeted, "How cool is that? During #Futura42 I'll get to operate the first space espresso machine!"
The espresso machine, designed to create a "perfect espresso in a weightless environment," will be rolled out for the Futura Mission, the second long-term mission of the Italian Space Agency aboard the International Space Station.
So how does it work?
Multiple modifications have been made to the classic Italian espresso machine for it to work in the zero-gravity environment, Wired reports. To accommodate for pressure, the steam pipe, rather than being made of plastic as is typical, is a steel tube that's capable of handling 400 barometers of presser.
Astronauts may be taking a relaxing coffee break in their "corner cafe," but they won't be sipping it. Espresso will flow into a bag (the same way water is stored on the ISS) and must be consumed with a straw.

Left: Merle Pace
Right: me
From Merle's Flickr post:
Selkies are Seal Faeries from Irish and Scottish Myth. In the sea, they are seals who swim with their seal sisters, but they also come on land on nights of full moons and transform into women and dance with their seal sisters. This is when men can steal their seal skins to marry them, as they are known to be the best of and most loyal wives, and they go on to have children and a family on land. But, the Selkie woman is always longing for something. If they discover their seal skins, they have the terrible choice of staying with their human families on land, or returning to the sea with the constant call of their seal sisters, which is so much stronger than their mortal family.
I love this story and concept so much, but was really struggling to put together something I felt captured the idea in the vivid way I would have liked.
My full time day job and other distractions have been a real inspiration-killer for me lately, though I'm working on fixing that [which is also the reason I'm posting this so late...]
My image is a montage of a swirling, animal skin-type cloak I borrowed from a friend for a shoot as part of my 365 days series, and a self-portrait from about 2009. I wanted to capture the sense of the sealskin mingled with water. Merle flipped my image to face right-to-left and adjusted the colour a little in this version to make it work more harmoniously with her wonderful, dreamy image.
She also put together two other pairings which I think are also both beautiful, which you can see below.

ROME, Ga. - The Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes (15-29) scored six runs over the fifth and sixth innings to earn a 6-4 victory over the Shorter Hawks (13-31) Tuesday afternoon at the Ledbetter Complex in Rome, Ga.
Trailing by a single run entering the fifth inning, the 'Canes notched a pair of runs off four hits to take a 2-1 advantage.
Shorter earned a run in the home half of the fifth to even up the contest but Southwestern broke the game open in the sixth inning as the 'Canes used three hits to punch in four runs in order to take a 6-2 advantage.
Shorter drew closer as the Hawks added a run in both the sixth and eighth innings but senior Bray Bishop struck out the side in order in the ninth inning to earn the save as GSW held on for the 6-4 victory.
Stephen Eldridge and Josh Sanders led the way at the plate for Georgia Southwestern as Eldrige went 3-for-5 with a double and a triple while Sanders notched 4 RBIs as the senior finished 2-for-4 on the outing.
Starting GSW pitcher Earl Dupree earned the win for Southwestern as the freshman tossed 5.2 innings while allowing three runs off six hits with four walks and one strikeout.
Bishop was credited with his fourth save of the season as he struck out three in one successful inning.
Georgia Southwestern will wrap up the 2013 season this weekend as the Hurricanes return to Hurricane Field for a three-game series against USC Aiken. The start time for the first game of Saturday's senior-day doubleheader will be at 1 p.m.

OpenAdmin Tool for IDS, the PHP-based administration console for IDS, is now available for downloadfrom the Free Product download site.
Updated 2/14/08 with new recommended PHP and XAMPP versions which are good for Cheetah and Cheetah 2.
Note: This article was updated for the latest version of OpenAdmin Tool on July 30 2007.
Installation of OpenAdmin can appear complex - this article provides anexample of one way of installing OpenAdmin. This example uses an XAMPP package on Windows. XAMPP is a bundle of open-source utilities (such as Apache, PHP and PEAR) thatare used by OpenAdmin. Installing XAMPP simplifies the OpenAdmin install,but many other installation and configuration options are possible.
High-level Summary of Install steps
Detailed steps are provided below. This is the high-level sequence of stepsyou will follow:
- Install CSDK or Connect 3.00.TC1 (or later)
- Download and extract the XAMPP 1.6.4 zip file
- Run XAMPP setup
- Edit the php configuration file
- Download and extract the OpenAdmin package
- Start the Apache Webserver
- Install and configure OpenAdmin
If not already installed, install the Informix Client software. Rememberwhere you install it; the INFORMIXDIR value will need to be set as an environment variable when you start thewebserver. You can set INFORMIXDIR in the system environment using Control Panel->System. (Note: CSDK or Connect 3.00.TC1 or later is recommended.)2. Download XAMPP and extract files.
- Download XAMPP version 1.6.4 (xampp-win32-1.6.4.zip) from http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.6.4.zip to a temporary location.
- Unzip XAMPP to the destination directory of your choice. (In this example we'll assume the zip was extracted to c:\, which would put the XAMPP software in c:\XAMPP\.)
3. Run XAMPP setup
cd to the XAMPP directory and run setup_xampp. When the batch file finishes running, press any key to continue.
4. Update the php configuration file (php.ini)
Navigate to the xampp\apache\bin subdirectory, and open the php.ini file in a text editor. (Note: the XAMPP package contains more than onephp.ini file - the correct one is in xampp\apache\bin (i.e., c:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini).)
Edit php.ini to enable the SQLITE and Informix PDO drivers:
- Locate the following lines and remove any comment indicators from in front of them:
- Add the following line to the file:
5. Download and Extract the OpenAdmin zip file.
- Download the OpenAdmin zip file from the Open Source download site to a temporary location.
- Create a new directory under c:\xampp\htdocs to contain the zipped files (For example: c:\xampp\htdocs\openadmin)
- Unzip oatids.zip to this new directory.
6. Start the Apache Webserver.
- Verify INFORMIXDIR is set to the Informix Connect or CSDK directory.
- Run c:\xampp\xampp-control.exe.
- Start the Apache Webserver.
7. Install and Configure OpenAdmin.
Go to http://localhost/openadmin/install and follow the installation instructions. After the first install screen a check will be made to ensure you have the correct PDO drivers:
Enter the base URL for your machine, language defaults, and optionallythe Google maps key for your machine URL:
8. Start using OpenAdmin
Once installation is complete you can go to the main page (http://localhost/openadmin in this example), click Admin and start adding IDS 11.10 connections. Important: If you are using a version of CSDK prior to 3.00.TC1, there must be aSQLHOSTS entry on the Webserver machine for each connection you add (use setnet32 to add Informix servers to SQLHOSTS on Windows).
Once a connection is defined you can return to the main screen and connect:
The connection administration allows you to create groups of connections, and assign a password for each group, making it easier to administer a large number of instances.

The Cavs seek their 60th win today. But they know that a great regular season guarantees nothing once the postseason begins, and it's only in the playoffs where they can achieve their ultimate goal.
It's been an unthinkable win total for the Cavs during their first 38 years in the NBA.
Sixty wins.
Only the elite of the NBA elite reach 60 wins during a regular season, and that's a title that's eluded the Cavs throughout their history. Today against the Dallas Mavericks, though, the Cavs have a chance to reach 60 wins -- and do it with nine games still remaining.
But a 60-win season was not how the Cavs planned to measure success or failure this season.
"We never had a set number that we wanted to shoot for," LeBron James said.
"We did want to potentially get better every day and, of course, compete for a championship. That's what we're doing right now. We are competing for a championship, we're getting better every day."
They know not to confuse a 60-win regular season with postseason success.
And history reminds them, as well.
Since the 1999-2000 season, 11 NBA teams have won 60 games in a season. But only three -- the 2008 Celtics, 2003 Spurs and 2000 Lakers -- went on to win a championship.
The most glaring example of a 60-win team coming up short will be across the court today. It was just two years ago that the Mavericks won 67 games, posting the NBA's sixth-best winning percentage of all-time. Dirk Nowitzki was the league MVP and Dallas looked to poised to a win a title after losing in the finals the previous season.
A few weeks later, Dallas' season was over after a first-round upset at the hands of the eighth-seeded Warriors. And the Cavs know if they lose focus at any point, their own record-breaking season could be in jeopardy.
"You relax for a second in this league, that's when teams come back and catch you," Wally Szczerbiak said.
The Cavs have kept themselves locked in and are seeking a team-record 12th straight win today. If they get it, they will add it to an already impressive list of records set this season.
But in the end, they know only winning a championship in June will make this season truly successful.
"You never want to put disappointment in anything, but that's the only reason why we're playing this season," James said. "The only reason why we come to the gym every day and work as hard as we do in the regular season, and try to win ballgames and get better every day, and that's to win a championship."
The stats
Eleven teams have won 60 games during an NBA regular season since the 1999-2000 season. Here's a look at who they are and what they did in the postseason.
2000 Lakers: 67 games, won a championship. Kobe and Shaq roll through the regular season on their way to the first of three straight titles.
2002 Kings: 61 games, lost in the conference finals. They played offense as well as anyone in recent history, but the Kings still didn't have the firepower to topple a Laker dynasty in a Game 7 overtime thriller at Sacramento.
2003 Mavericks: 60 games, lost in the conference finals. Dallas starts its string of three 60-win seasons in five years, but it can't get past the Spurs.
2003 Spurs: 60 games, won a championship. San Antonio takes out the Suns, Lakers, Mavericks and Nets in six games each, winning each decisive game on the road.
2004 Pacers: 61 games, lost in the conference finals. Indiana runs into a locked-in Detroit team on its way to upsetting the Lakers and winning a title.
2005 Suns: 62 games, lost in the conference finals. Their high-octane offense led by MVP Steve Nash is no match for the eventual champion Spurs.
2006 Mavericks: 60 games, lost in the NBA Finals. Dallas looks like a lock to win a title when it goes up on the Heat 2-0 before Dwyane Wade and his endless trips to the foul line take down the Mavs.
2006 Spurs: 63 games, lost in the conference semifinals. San Antonio finally runs into a Dallas team it can't get past.
2006 Pistons: 64 games, lost in the conference finals. The fourth of six straight visits to the conference finals ends for Detroit when it runs into the red-hot Heat.
2007 Suns: 61 games, lost in the conference semifinals. Phoenix will always wonder 'What if?' after Amare Stoudemire is suspended in a Game 5 loss to the Spurs for leaving the bench area following Robert Horry's flagrant hip check of Nash the previous game.
2007 Mavericks: 67 games, lost in the first round. Any thoughts of a Dallas dynasty collapse in a stunning loss to the Warriors in six games.
2008 Celtics: 66 games, won a championship. Boston needed two Game 7 wins in the opening two rounds before rolling through the Pistons and Lakers.
Knows the feeling
Timberwolves coach Kevin McHale knows all about winning 60 games from his own playing days.
He starred on five Boston teams in the 1980s that won more than 60 games. But just three of those teams won NBA titles. So regardless of how well things went during the regular season, McHale knew the final verdict came in June.
"At the end of the year if you were a champion it was a good year," McHale said. "If you didn't, it wasn't."
Seeking consistency
One of the NBA's top rookies, former UCLA star Kevin Love, made his first visit to Cleveland on Friday with the Timberwolves.
Love is the league's leading rebounder among rookies at 9.0 a game, while also scoring 10.8 points per game. McHale said it's been tough on Love and all the Wolves since their star, forward Al Jefferson, suffered a season-ending knee injury early last month.
But McHale is encouraged by how Love still produces.
"He's going to get numbers," McHale said. "He's like Al in that regard. He's going to get a bunch of rebounds and he'll get his points. You don't have to run plays for him."
What McHale wants to see is more consistency from Love, especially in being focused and ready to defend.
"The hardest thing to do in our league is to be a consistent 82-game player," McHale said. "It's a grind."
McHale remembers when even James as a teenager had his "shoddy" defensive performances.
"His defense is not shoddy now, I can tell you that," McHale said of James.
So how long did a Hall of Famer such as McHale take to find consistency?
"I can't remember, honestly," he said. "It was so long ago. I was in my early 20s and now I'm in my early 50s, and Alzheimer's is setting in."
24-second clock
- The Pistons have gone from having the fourth-best record in the East a couple months back to clinging to the final playoff spot in the East. They were sitting at 22-12 Jan. 9 after winning at Denver. They've gone 12-25 since.
- A home game with the Lakers today for Atlanta completes a five-game stretch where the Hawks played the last four teams to play in the NBA Finals. They've lost the first three games to the Cavs, Spurs and Celtics.

What's the est date these will be available.
Lock, Stomp, and Steer. No Fear
Very interested in a release date as well, would like one for Christmas but I'm not going to buy one until I've seen reviews from real customers.
Yeah, it almost seems like they rushed to tell us they were going to release them. No specifics, no release date. Didn't they have a release date for the new Rally as soon as they announced it?
Slash 4x4 stock
Slash 4x4 MMP 2400
KB Fiesta
On Facebook just saw they said mid December, hopefully we get a date soon as that would put it at just a month away.
I'm waiting to see some videos to get an idea for their size.
"Bagginses? What is a Bagginses?"
There are some videos on youtube of similar sized and styled quads and man, they are impressive. I like that it can be flown indoors without problems but can also fly outside in mild conditions.
Cool, had no idea these were coming out. Well, been struggling trying to figure out what to get the boy for Xmas. Got him a few things already, looks like I will get him one of these for Xmas, the Heli, not the quad or w/e lol. Assuming they are out in time for Xmas.
R4lly GT8 | Backsl4sh | Sl4sh MT | Sl4sh | P4de
I will get the quad I think. The dual rotor helis don't appeal to me. I want a single top rotor and a tail rotor if I got a scale one. The quad is more of a neat novelty and I would think very stable
Lock, Stomp, and Steer. No Fear
I'm gonna get the quad as long as it gets decent reviews. I've had a dual coaxial before and hated. Really hard to set all the controls so it hovers any kind of breeze outside blew it away and was too big to really play with indoors. The cx was just slightly bigger than the one traxxas is making.
I have not heard anything from Traxxas but my LHS tells me they expect them early December.

I hope they are out before Xmas... I have one on pre order hoping to give it to my son. He has been asking for an Air Hog heli and I didnt want to buy him something that cant be repaired when he crashes it... He will already have a E Revo under the tree and he will be really suprised if he gets a Traxxas heli too... Fingers crossed for a very Traxxas Xmas
No Limit RC of Maryland
I placed one on backorder thru Great Planes already so when come out I will have one at our hobbyshop to fly around. Its a nice gift for around Christmas time.
I saw an add that said it would be available mid December and saw that Traxxas also comented on a post on their Facebook page saying they would be availble in mid December... Fingers crossed my pre order through Amain Hobbies gets here before Xmas...
No Limit RC of Maryland
I am looking forward to it coming out before Xmas. If so I know I want my wife to pick me up one, and I might pick up one or two for my boys...
Calling out the moderating staff for doing what they have been directed to do is not necessary nor appreciated.

Jato 3.3

So was told by my lhs that they thought they were going to be getting them Dec. 2nd. Which is a sunday so not sure.
Mid December is the only info that is currently available on the expected availability date.
"Fortunately son, I says fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency!"

As of now the main page says now shipping.
Drive it, Break it, Upgrade it
Tower Hobbies switched their status from "Order Pending" to "Late November". It can't get much later in November... heh heh.
I'm the guy driving on the left side of the road.
My LHS is saying they are receiving a batch dec 5th and they check the status of the order every day. Just right around the corner!
Tower Hobbies as them in stock.Thinking about getting one of these little birds. The qr1 that is.
Last edited by dirtnaround; 11-29-2012 at 07:12 PM.
Hmm. As far as I can tell no single Dutch LHS has them. I could get one from Tower... but $67.51 for shipping.... nah.
Nobody is born with experience
just order the red/black qr-1 from tower hobbies!!! my first heli
Just curious... but why hasn't Traxxas released any video's of the QR-1? They had video's of pretty much every other applications online before they were released.
I really am curious as to how well these perform. I'm eventually going to build a custom quad copter... but I figured I'd try the QR-1 out for learning purposes.
E Revo brushless, XO-1, Nitro 4 tec 3.3, HPI RS4
And now...
The following were shipped from our Champaign, Illinois distribution center on 30-Nov-2012
TRAE62RL Traxxas QR-1 Quad-Rotor Helicopter RTF Red/Black
So it is a waiting game again for me as I don't know how they sent it. Maybe I'll get tracking info, maybe I won't. They haven't sent me an e-mail yet. In any case, it's on its way to my house.
Someone in this forum should have one by the middle of next week at the latest!
There is an indoor flying club here that flies Wednesday evenings, so I suspect mine will arrive on Thursday, of course.
I'm the guy driving on the left side of the road.
I forgot I ordered one but it shipped haha

Amain says in stock tomorrow 12/01/12
I'm thinking i may just have to grab a QR-1 if they do pop into stock.
Need something to play with inside during the winter. I can only wrench so much without driving my other stuff.
orrrrr not. they still flag as cant ship internationally... guess i'll wait for the LHS to get them.

Tried to order one today but tower can only ship them via UPS to canada and its going to cost $50 after the $9.99 discount... thats just stupid. So im going to try and have one shipped to a friend in the US and have him forward it to me. If I have it shipped to him, the shipping will be free, so ill only have to pay to have it forwarded, which would cost the same as what tower would charger, so it wont cost any more, just take longer.
I jumped the gun earlier today and ordered one from Tower today. If you spend more than $100 you get free shipping. I was in such a rush that I didnt want to miss the shipping cut off for the day so i didnt get the discount because i couldnt think of $13of parts to order. Its scheduled to arrive
Dec 5-7th. On a side note, theyve got qr1s on ebay for $79 shipped.
I really hope Im not disappointed with the qr1. Ive always been very impressed with all of my other traxxas vehicles.
E Revo brushless, XO-1, Nitro 4 tec 3.3, HPI RS4
Thanks for the tip anthony... just bought a blue one on e-bay for $100 shipped... which is the same as what I would have paid from tower anyway.
$103... It's $114 to canada. A full $100 more than the only other guy selling them. Way to be competitive eh... NOT!
hehe, i'll just wait till i see one sitting in @ great hobbies. Saddest thing about that is omnimodels is one of my regular chop shops for stuff. Not anymore if they are gonna start doing that kind of stuff.
At least they (great hobbies) show them as on order, unlike the rally... (which blows my mind, they finally put the rally on the website but no mention of ordering them yet)
Well, I ordered a blue one yesterday from Tower. Can't wait to get it.
Due to arrive on Wed. How convenient. I am off that day.

Customer Reviews
I wish there were more colors. To remedy this issue I took a few of the colors I have and added a dot of each onto my fingernail. I then took a tooth pick and swirled the colors together to create a marble effect (you'll also want to drag the polish to the edges of the nail while doing so). The viscosity of the polish works perfectly for this. My nails look amazing and I didn't have to goof around with trying that silly water method that's all over pintrest.
It was great! Very simple and worked exactly how it is supposed to. Just wish there were more colors..
I love it

How the 2015 Ford Edge Will Take On Audi and BMW
Will Ford's all-new Edge be nice enough to steal sales from the German luxury-car brands?
Americans might be inclined to downplay that possibility. On the surface, the all-new 2015 Edge isn't all that different from Ford's current midsize crossover SUV. It's a little sleeker, a little sportier in some versions, but for the most part it looks a lot like the current Ford Edge.
But the new Edge built on the sophisticated architecture developed for the current Ford Fusion, so the new Edge should ride and handle like a more upscale vehicle. And inside, the all-new Edge follows Ford's recent approach of including -- at a price -- features and options normally associated with much more expensive luxury cars and SUVs.
Still, the new Edge might not get much traction against BMW and Audi -- at least in the U.S. But as Motley Fool senior auto specialist John Rosevear explains in this video, Ford's European leaders expect that premium versions of the all-new Edge will help Ford steal sales from BMW and Audi on the German luxury leaders' home turf.
A transcript of the video is below.
Warren Buffett's worst automotive nightmare (Hint: It's not Tesla Motors!)
A major technological shift is happening in the automotive industry. Most people are skeptical about its impact. Warren Buffett isn't one of them. He recently called it a "real threat" to one of his favorite businesses. An executive at Ford called the technology "fantastic."

Ford recently showed off its all-new Edge SUV, the new Edge looks a lot like the current model but it's a bit sleeker, with more upscale touches in the interior, and it should have improved ride and handling because it's on a more advanced architecture that's shared with Ford's Fusion sedan.
It'll hit Ford dealers in the first part of next year, and it should do well, Ford's newest models going back to the Focus in 2011 have nearly all been solid hits.
But what's interesting is that the new Edge is following Ford's recent approach of offering more features, usually as options, that are more typical of luxury brand vehicles. You can get a Fusion with leather and an advanced touchscreen stereo system and a whole lot of high-tech safety features, and of course the basic car itself is quiet and solid with a sophisticated ride, it really does compare surprisingly well with much more expensive cars from the German luxury brands.
And Ford is taking that approach with the Edge, too, and in Europe at least they actually are going to aim it at some luxury contenders. Ford Europe sales chief Roelant de Waard said at the Edge's European launch event that it will be aimed at affluent customers considering vehicles like the Audi Q5.
Of course, to do that, the Edge will come with some options that are unlikely to be offered here in the U.S., Ford plans to offer two different diesels in the Edge in Europe. But this is new ground for Ford, the company doesn't currently sell anything like the Edge in Europe.
It does offer the Kuga, which is the European name for the Ford Escape, but it hasn't offered a larger SUV in Europe in many years. Gas prices are very high in Europe and customers tend to favor smaller vehicles, but fuel-efficient crossover SUVs have found a following in recent years. SUVs were just 10% of European passenger car sales in 2008 but they were up to 21% last year, according to trade publication Automotive News, so there's a real opportunity for Ford with a product category it does pretty well.
The Q5 does fairly well in Europe for Audi, and Ford is hoping that the Edge will add 20,000 sales a year to Ford's SUV efforts in the Old World. Ford sold 90,000 SUVs in Europe last year and it is hoping to triple that total by 2018. It's off to a good start, European sales of the Kuga were up 38% this year through May, and Ford is also launching the subcompact EcoSport SUV in Europe as well. The EcoSport is a small SUV originally developed for emerging markets. It's based on the Fiesta's platform which gives you an idea of its size. It's built in India, it just went on sale in Europe and Ford says it already has 16,000 orders.
So Ford's SUVs, including the all-new Edge, are emerging as a key part of the company's European turnaround strategy, and in Europe at least the Edge is going to be aimed at the likes of Audi and BMW. Thanks for watching.

Sounders Insider
Change at the top for Sounders' next opponent
Some major off-the-pitch news today from the Columbus Crew, who will visit the Sounders at 7 p.m. Saturday:
The Columbus Crew announced today that it has parted ways with club President Mark McCullers. A longtime club executive with 15 years of experience with the Black & Gold, McCullers is resigning his role as President of the Columbus Crew, Crew Stadium and the Crew Soccer Foundation. His final day with the club is April 30, 2014, as he assists with this organizational transition.
"Mark and I had the chance to speak this past weekend, and based upon that conversation, I told him that we would not be extending his contract with the Crew," said Crew Chairman and Investor-Operator Anthony Precourt. "When we purchased the Crew, we said that we would evaluate the club in a thoughtful and thorough manner. After nearly eight months at the helm of the club, Mark and I both agreed that it would make sense for the organization to go in a different direction, so he offered me his resignation, which I accepted."
McCullers provided 15 years of service to the Black & Gold, a tenure that began in December of 1998. McCullers came to Columbus to oversee the development of Crew Stadium, the first topflight stadium built specifically for soccer in the U.S. He was promoted to Executive Vice President of the club in January of 2001 before becoming the Crew's third General Manager in club history, a position he served in for nine seasons, beginning on an interim basis on July 9, 2004 before earning the position outright on January 19, 2005. McCullers added the title of President in 2007, and during his tenure the club earned three MLS Supporters' Shields and the 2008 MLS Cup.
In addition to his duties as President, he oversaw the efforts of the club's charitable arm, the Crew Soccer Foundation, as President of its Board of Directors. Prior to joining the Crew, McCullers served nine years at the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission, first as Event Manager for RFK Stadium and the D.C. Armory and then as Assistant Stadium Manager at RFK. During his career at RFK, he helped produce some of the most significant soccer events held in the U.S., including the 1994 FIFA World Cup, 1996 Olympic Soccer and MLS Cup 1997.
"I want to thank Anthony and Precourt Sports Ventures for giving me the opportunity to continue to run this team after the purchase from Hunt Sports Group," said McCullers. "I am proud of the legacy moments in club history that I have been part of over the past 15 years. I most cherish the personal and professional relationships that I have developed in this community and it has been my honor to represent this club. I wish Anthony, our front office and the team nothing but success as they work to bring another MLS Cup back to Columbus."
Precourt Sports Ventures acquired the Crew on July 29, 2013, and in short order, the organization has strived to upgrade its operations, including: the hiring of Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter; the installation of new audio and video systems at Crew Stadium – encompassing a new videoboard, sound system and LED ribbon panels on the main scoreboard and the east and west fascias; enhanced chairback seating in Premier East; added vomitories; widened concourses; a remodeled Crew Stadium locker room; a renovated Obetz Training Facility; and an anticipated club rebranding effort for the 2015 season.
"Our commitment to Major League Soccer, this community, the institution of the Crew, its supporters and fans everywhere, and to winning both on and off the pitch, is of paramount importance to Precourt Sports Ventures," added Precourt. "We have stated previously that we would continue to thoroughly analyze all facets of the organization to position this club for growth and success. After our candid discussion, Mark and I decided it would be in the best interest of the club moving forward to have new leadership. We thank him for his long-term contributions and wish him the best moving forward."
In the interim, Precourt is assuming the club's day-to-day operations as acting club President as a national search unfolds for a new lead executive.
"Just like the process that led us to hire Gregg Berhalter, we will conduct a thoughtful and thorough search for a new leader of the club," said Precourt. "We have no timetable to find a replacement, and while I have tried to be open and engaged with our fans, partners, and staff, this transition gives me an even greater opportunity to be hands-on in the evolution and management of the Crew. We have a talented and committed executive team, so I look forward to working more directly with them during this transitional period, which will afford PSV a chance to find a new day-to-day lead executive."
Following back-to-back wins under new Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter to begin the 2014 MLS campaign, the Crew returns to action on Saturday, March 29 in Seattle, when the Black & Gold take on Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field

[B.o.B - Verse 1]
Well this is the mysterious case of Dr. Aden
Looking after her patients was her only obligation but
That was back before, back before the situation
Before she got a visit from an agent
He introduced himself as an employee of the nation
He asked would she be willing to offer cooperation
You fit the job description and all the qualifications
If interested I need your signature on this paper (sign here)
She signed the dotted line without the slightest hesitation
She then received a letter stating the rules and regulations
And the military bases where she must be relocated
She is not to discuss any business thats work related
[News Clips - Talking]
[B.o.B - Verse 2]
In Central America on a classified location
Before border control before a illegal immigration
Inside a lab where chemicals are manipulated
Is where we see Dr. Aden, she's very concentrated
But her concentrations broken
When she hears a conversation down the halls
Small talk about destabilization and
Outta curiosity she wanders from her station
Inside a unlocked office she did some investigation
She breaks into a file with top secret information
Probably some of the most disturbing documentation
She ever saw in her life - the article simply stated
Her study being conducted on human civilization
[News Clips - Talking]
[B.o.B - Verse 3]
Deep down inside she wished it was all her imagination
She couldn't doubt it, cause there it clearly stated
She works in a facility where viruses are created
And not only that, but 'member when she had her patients
She wrote out prescriptions for what she thought was medication
Her office was really just a part of the operation
She wipes her eyes as they water full of frustration
How a victim of government experimentation
Where's the justification, where's the justification
Where's the judge when you need him
He's probably on a vacation
Probably inside of the same country that these events takes place in
But as the puzzle pieces fall into proper arrangement
Yes we began to see the intentions of these creations
The patterns of epidemics like H.I.V. in the 80′s
Biological chemicals designed to be contagious
There's nothing in the business of controlling a population
This is about the Bayer Company back in the 80's. They sold a medicine for people with hemophilia, it would help them clot their blood. Bayer discovered that the medicine had AIDS in it and the FDA even knew about it. The company did not want to lose money so they took it out of America and sold it in Europe, Latin America and Asia so they wouldn't lose too much money,
They did this to gain revenue and to also control the world population from getting too big.
Dr. Aden is a woman who just realized that this company is messing people up. She does not want to be a part of it. She represents some of the people who worked in the company.
This song is off B.o.B.'s mixtape No Genre
Here are some articles about the situation
