Boxster T and 718 Cayman T concept
The truly important things can't be found in conferences and meetings. They are not made of bits and bytes, they are not on timelines and news feeds. They are made up of curves and bends. Endorphins and adrenaline. Long straights and short shift throws. The best destination to have? No destination. The way there? We have reduced down to the bare essentials: in a purist's sports car which lets you switch off by shifting up. A
The new 718
The new 718
Exterior design
Thoughtful design tells a story. The 718
The side profile of the 718
Moving forward, the powerful form typical of 718 models is clear to see. Large air intakes provide optimum air supply and the wings lend prominence to the design of the integrated Bi-Xenon main headlights – with LED daytime running lights.
The broad rear is completed with either the '718
Low, wide, sleek. Confident. That's how it stands. Just as you would expect from a true sports car. The new 718
Interior design
Feng shui? Hygge? All well and good. But sometimes less is more – more room to breathe. Which is precisely why the design of the new 718
So, hands on the GT sports steering wheel! In easy reach: the mode switch, where you can select your preferred driving mode – from Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Individual. The shortened gear lever reinforces the sporty appeal of the interior with its shift pattern in red.
The interior: black and pure. On the steering wheel and gear lever: smooth-finish leather for a comfortable feel. On the doors: understated door pull loops. The trim strips on the dashboard and centre console painted in Black (high-gloss), harmoniously round off the design.
Switch off: yes. Slack off: no. Made possible by the Sports seats Plus (two-way) with elevated side bolsters and seat centres in durable Sport-Tex – or, optionally, the adaptive Sports seats Plus (18-way). Could it get even sportier? Yes – ultra-lightweight full bucket seats in carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) are also available as an option. The headrests on all seat variants feature the '718' logo.
With the optional interior packages, you can choose your own colour accents: with contrasting colours in GT Silver, Guards Red, Racing Yellow or Lizard Green. These accents can be found on the seat belts, decorative stitching, door pull loops, the '718' logo on the headrests and on the stitching – as well as the
You can even add Race-Tex elements, tried and tested in motorsport, upon request.
The heart of every individual
There are some things which no app can simulate. Like taking a hairpin bend on the ideal line. Exactly here, at the apex of the bend, is where you can see what makes a mid-engined sports car stand out: light weight, a low, balanced centre of gravity, wide track, long wheelbase – and, of course, a precise and agile chassis.
PASM sports suspension
The new 718
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
The standard
The mechanically regulated rear differential lock included with PTV has an asymmetrical lock factor. This helps to provide greater traction, for example when accelerating out of corners and driving on road surfaces with varying grip. The result: considerable lateral dynamic vehicle stability and exceptional traction. Impressive agility at every speed – with precise steering response and balanced load transfer characteristics. And, of course, tremendous fun on corners.
The mode switch
Flip the switch. Out of the four walls. On to the open straights. And, of course, in the bends. Thanks to the mode switch on the GT sports steering wheel, you can select one of four settings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS or Individual mode, to adapt the vehicle even more precisely to the way you want to drive.
In SPORT mode, the electronic engine management demands a sharper response. Engine dynamics become more direct and the sports exhaust system is activated.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the 718
Individual mode follows your driving style: you can select and store various vehicle settings to suit your preferences.
Sound systems
When you don't want the raw sound of the sports exhaust system to be the soundtrack to your journey: Sound Package Plus features six loudspeakers for an acoustic performance perfectly adapted to the vehicle interior.
The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System has been specially developed for the 718 models and offers a total output of 505 watts. It features 10 fully active loudspeakers and amplifier channels including a patented, 100 watt active subwoofer integral to the vehicle bodyshell.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Only nine minutes remained in the NCAA tournament championship when guard Ryan Boatright rolled his ankle.
His mother, Tanesha, watching from the AT&T Stadium stands, knew her son wouldn't budge. That's not how the Boatrights, from Aurora, operate. Apparently, not Connecticut either.
"I was screaming at him, 'Be tough,' " she said, pausing to sob as her son cut down nets. "My family was asking me, 'Is he going to keep going?' I knew he was going to keep going."
Said Boatright of his ankle: "It was hurting. But we worked too hard. We put in too much work. I wasn't going to let a little ankle sprain keep me from fighting for my brothers."
The No. 7-seeded Huskies proved themselves to be nothing but ever-marching survivors in the 60-54 victory against No. 8 seed Kentucky, bringing a fourth title to Storrs, Conn.
Just a season ago, the Huskies were banned from postseason play as a punishment for low academic scores. Instead of transferring before the season, the group of Huskies banded together.
Two seasons ago, legendary coach Jim Calhoun retired and former assistant Kevin Ollie took over.
This season, they lost to Louisville by 33 points, finished third in the American Athletic Conference and nearly were bounced in the first tournament game by St. Joseph's.
Connecticut players view the victory as validation for sitting out of the tournament last season as fires burned inside them. Senior guard Shabazz Napier predicted the championship run after the March loss to Louisville.
"We're hungry," said Napier, who scored 22 points. "When you prevent us from trying to go to the postseason and it wasn't our fault, we worked from that (point) on."
Boatright, an East Aurora graduate, added 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting with four rebounds, three assists and three steals.
The duo again was smothering on defense against Kentucky, which was playing for its second title in three seasons.
"One of our things was sprint it up the court so you attack (Boatright) and he's not attacking you," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "We jogged."
The Wildcats also whiffed on their free throws, making only 13 of 24. Connecticut made all 10 of its attempts from the line.
"The way we started the game probably cost us the game," Calipari said. "Why do you think (we) started that way? They're all freshmen. They're scared to death again."
That never bothered the Wildcats before. They came back from deficits in every tournament game to advance to the championship, winning the previous three games on late 3-pointers by Aaron Harrison.
They fell behind by 15 points in the first half against Connecticut, the most they had trailed in a tournament game. The Huskies never trailed, although Kentucky made several runs to draw to within a point.
Forward James Young led Kentucky with 20 points, while Julius Randle added 10 points. Randle left the game for stretches in the first half with what appeared to be cramps.
Most of the 79,238 fans waited for the Wildcats to make their move.
They trailed by six points with 2:24 remaining. Kentucky missed two more free throws down the stretch and a layup by Napier with 1:33 left provided a buffer for UConn.

California girl's suicide fuels cyberbullying debate
SARATOGA, Calif. -- It has become a depressingly familiar story in the digital age. An alleged sexual assault occurs. Images brazenly are shared electronically. Reputations are destroyed and, in some cases, a humiliated teen even takes his or her own life.
That horrifying chain of events played out shortly after school started in the fall when 15-year-old Audrie Pott, of Saratoga, committed suicide eight days after police say she was assaulted by three boys, who were arrested last week on suspicion of sexual battery and distribution of unlawful material in a case that has sparked national outrage.
Audrie's death is only the latest in a series of cyber-related tragedies fueling a debate about the negative effects of social media -- especially on kids who are anxious to live their lives through electronic devices but unprepared to deal with the sometimes harsh consequences.
A Canadian teen, who allegedly was gang-raped and then horrified to see a photo of the incident circulating among friends, was taken off life support last week after trying to hang herself. Last month, two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football stars were convicted of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl -- an assault that came to light when digital photos were distributed.
"You look at these cases and see how similar they are, and you wonder what's happening in our society right now," said Parry Aftab, founder of advocacy group Stop Cyberbullying. "Something new and terrible is occurring. Why do otherwise normal kids rape people and then brag about it online for cyberglory? These kids are setting off bombs online, and then they explode offline."
Instant communication on cellphones has become increasingly important to teenagers. And teens can have the attitude that if they don't post something on Facebook, then it didn't actually happen. But the full implications of that technology also can be lost on them, and Audrie's death is yet another cautionary tale about the perils of social media.
"As much as the original rape of this young girl was a violation of her soul, you could argue that the suicide was motivated by the public humiliation of the photos rather than the private humiliation she suffered at the party," said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Boston Children's Hospital. "The rape was repeated every time someone passed those photos on. It sure sounds like that's what led her to feel her life was worthless, not the rape itself."
The photos going viral, according to accounts provided by authorities and family attorney Robert Allard, only magnified the teen's emotional pain -- and ultimately became too much to bear.
Audrie, who played musical instruments, loved to sing and enjoyed playing soccer, attended an unsupervised house party Labor Day weekend. Audrie had passed out drunk when she was assaulted by three Saratoga High students, police say.
Allard said digital photos "spread like wildfire" among students, and that seems to be reflected in a series of tortured Facebook postings by Audrie in the days before her Sept. 10 death, including one describing the "worst day in her life."
It was only after her death that a Santa Clara County sheriff's deputy assigned to the school began hearing whispers about the sharing of the images and that her parents became aware of the assault.
Tina Meier knows first-hand what the Pott family has been going through the past seven months. Her 13-year-old daughter, Megan Meier, committed suicide in 2006 after the teen was embarrassed by a cruel Internet hoax where a friend's mother pretended to be a boy who liked her.
"I'm sure this girl knew that she didn't have control over those images and what was being said about her," said Meier, who founded the Megan Meier Foundation. "Kids many times feel that the things that they hear are what everybody is going to believe, and that there's no way out."
Just turning off the cellphone or computer is not a solution, she said.
"Social media is the way that teenagers communicate today," Meier said. "It's their whole life, and when you're pushed aside and humiliated in that world, it's truly devastating for them. Kids are conditioned to have their cellphones with them everywhere and even go to bed with them. They set up alerts that ding anytime there's a message. It's a vicious, 24-hour cycle that they can't get away from."
The circumstances of Audrie's death quickly gained national attention in part because of two other high-profile cases. Rehtaeh Parsons, 17, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, was removed from life support on April 7 after a suicide attempt. She was depressed over being allegedly raped and bullied by four boys in November 2011 when she was 15. She reportedly had been tormented at school after a photo allegedly showing her having sex with a boy was circulated among friends' mobile phones and computers.
In March, two Ohio football stars were convicted of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl -- an attack that came to light when digital photos of the naked 16-year-old were distributed digitally.
But David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, said it's wrong to place the blame with technology
Instead, he said: "Kids feel like they can commit these kinds of acts and maybe even get away with them."
Rape among teenagers, he added, has decreased substantially since the 1990s and cellphones even might be part of the reason for that drop. That's why he calls the issue of technology "complicated" when discussing sexual assaults.
"If someone knows their images could be out there because everyone is carrying around smartphones, they will be fearful of committing a crime," Finkelhor said. "The problem with sexual-assault crimes always has been that it can be his word vs. her word. So while an image of what happened can be tremendously humiliating, it also can identify the offenders and lead to convictions."
Aftab has a different view. She believes once technology becomes involved, young people can lose a sense of empathy. She theorizes that whomever took the alleged images might be teens who feel like they're the stars of a reality television show. Teens who viewed and then disseminated the photos become the audience.
"It's not just the plain, old, horrible crime of rape," said Aftab, an Internet privacy and security expert. "The cyberworld has a different reality as far as kids are concerned. It's not real life. For them, it's a show and not a rape of someone their own age. It's almost as if entertainment has taken over their humanity."
The Pott family has been public about the circumstances of Audrie's death in hopes it can prevent further tragedies and lead to an "Audrie's Law" to better address cyberbullying that follows sexual assaults.
Rich isn't sure if changes in the law are the answer, but he's convinced there needs to be changes in societal attitudes.
"We need to reframe the whole act, including the photos, as rape because that's exactly what it is," he said.

Travel: Trip to Bali (Part 1 - Hotel & Places)
>> Friday, June 27, 2014
It was my 1st time to Bali, Indonesia & what a long-awaited vacation it was! Mum, sis & I had a great 5 days 4 nights at the much-visited Bali :) In these few posts, I will be sharing with you the places that we've visited & the food that we've tasted.
We left for Bali on Saturday evening. I was surely excited to leave the heat in PJ for some vacation.
The new Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali is impressive! It's a mixture of modern & traditional architecture, showcasing the rich culture of Bali.
We stayed at the Sun Royal Hotel, Jalan Sunset, Legian. It's slightly further from the beach, but I love the location of this hotel as it's not too far from the airport & it's pretty central from all major places of interests. We paid around RM80.00/night for a room with a king size bed. The price was a steal! It even comes with a welcome drink.
Simple, clean & the water heater works perfectly well.
King-size bed, complimentary bottles of water, air-conditioned, seating area, kettle jug, complimentary tea/coffee, satellite TV, & high-speed wifi. Thumbs up!
The pool was right outside our room on the ground floor! *yay* If you're staying upstairs, fret not for the hotel has an elevator.
The in-house restaurant where they serve breakfast, lunch & dinner
We headed out on Day 2 of our trip to Ubud & Mount Batur, the active volcano! Traffic was quite crazy as it was Indonesia's school holiday period :(
It took us approximately 2 hours to arrive at Ubud. Our first stop was the Sari Amerta batik producing factory, where the production starts from weaving the cloth to batik painting, sewing of products & selling of the finished batik products.
Batik isn't something new to us from Malaysia, so I didn't pay 100% focus on this place. But it was interesting to just have a look at the way things are done here at Bali & compare it to how it's done back in Malaysia.
After a short visit to the batik factory, we made a stop at the Yan Yan Silver-Products Factory.
It amazes me how the locals are so patient in crafting the jewellery that we wear pretty much on a daily basis. I really love some of their artwork, but it was too expensive for me, so I didn't buy anything from this place.
Lunch was at Teras Padi Cafe, Tegal Lalang (I'll share that in the food-specific post). Right after lunch at the scenic paddy teres, we headed off to Mount Batur, Kintamani; an active volcano area with a serene lake beside it. The view reminded me of being at the Mount Kota Kinabalu's observatory deck, where we overlooked the majestic mountain from afar :)
After the scenic treat at Mount Batur, we headed back to the Ubud Market for some shopping. Stalls at the market closes at 6pm, so we had a couple of hours for some window shopping & souvenir shopping.
We basically ended Day 2 with a good meal at the Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck) Cafe at Ubud before heading back to the hotel to rest, relax & swim! It was great that the swimming pool is opened 24 hours & most importantly, it was clean *thumbs up*
We bade farewell to Sun Royal Hotel on Day 3 of our trip as we've booked the next 2 nights at Diwangkara Holiday Villa in Sanur.
Day 3 calls for a trip to yet another far-away place i.e. Bratan, Tambanan. The entire journey of 2 hours was serene, scenic & filled with villages. Loved it! It felt like a 'balik kampung' trip :)
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is one of the many well-known temples/pagodas on the Bratan Lake (Danau Bratan). The weather on Day 3 was just lovely for photos!
I just LOVE the vivid colors of nature!
The lake was so still that kids actually sat there under the hot sun to fish & watch other kids fishing! Hahaha...
After spending an hour or so in the blazing sun at Bratan, we left for the local market nearby for lunch & some shopping. Bratan is quite similar to Cameron Highlands as its one of the many areas where fresh produces like strawberries & vegetables are grown & harvested for sale. The cool air on the highlands of Bratan makes such activities possible for the local villagers.
We didn't plan to have lunch here at the market area, but we always love having lunch at the local warungs (not so touristy). Thus, lunch was at a small warung at the market area. I'll elaborate more on the food that we had in the other food post :)
Our last stop for the day was to the famous Tanah Lot, a must-see place when you're in Bali. The tide at the time we arrived was low & the view was just fantastic!!
We ended Day 3 with dinner at Warung Naughty Nuri's on the way back to Sanur. I'll be sharing on the rest of the places that we visited plus the food that we've enjoyed in the upcoming posts.
Reminiscing on the Bali trip,

I plan to keg my cider at 0.7 baume (approx 12g/l) residual sugar to carbonate my cider to 3 volumes of CO2.
If I add pasteurized apple juice to sweeten my cider after kegging, will this ferment out? Or will the pasteurization of the juice prevent it from being fermented, causing the .7 baume of sugar to be fermented while leaving the sweetness of the added apple juice?

I want to draw Strings containing subscripts on designated places in my JFrame. I know you can use html-coding to get subscripts on for example buttons and textfields, but I can't use those since the placement have to be dynamic.
The only option I've found is to check the string for numbers, then divide the string into substrings and draw each of these using different fonts. But I get a problem because it's very hard to calculate the length of a string in pixels.
Is there a simpler solution?

From Jamaica Observer – Sean Williams
FOOTBALL aficionado Jeffrey Webb has been named the Person of the Year by a major news entity in his native Cayman Islands.
Webb, 48, a banker by trade and president of the continental body CONCACAF, was voted unanimously the outstanding personality for 2012 by the 14-year-old online newspaper, Cayman Net News, ahead of leaders in politics and business.
The Caymanian, also a vice-president of football's world governing body FIFA, took over leadership of CONCACAF last May unopposed following the departure of long-serving president, Trinidad and Tobago Austin 'Jack' Warner, in the wake of the cash-for-vote scandal involving officials of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), an affiliate of the confederation body.
Speaking from Mexico yesterday, Webb told the Jamaica Observer he was humbled by the recognition.
"I am very honoured to be considered in this very special way… I am humbled by it and accept it on behalf of my immediate family and the extended football family.
"It (Person of the Year) is a manifestation that football is truly the global sport whose relevance and importance transcend all boundaries as they regard to race, religion, politics, class or creed. One's work in football is not just restrictive to football, but on the broader scope, it's in service of all other positive aspects of life and the human reality," he ended.
Webb has led a sustained campaign to repair the damaged image of the CFU and CONCACAF and has committed in unifying the football family in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
That healing, by all indications, has already started.
JFF president Captain Horace Burrell, who is also in Mexico for the CONCACAF Under-20 Men's World Cup qualifiers, offered congratulations for Webb's latest honour.
"I must congratulate Jeff on this achievement because he has worked tirelessly for the sake of football on various levels and it's clear that his work has not gone unnoticed. His rise in football is no small feat for a Caribbean man, which is a striking demonstration of the essence of the peoples of the Caribbean, that once we set our minds to achieve, we can, we have, and we will," said the a CONCACAF executive committee member.
"His position in world football is not an ordinary accomplishment, and has to rank highly in the history of the Cayman Islands, therefore to be named the Person of the Year is truly fitting," said Burrell.
Webb, who has led the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) since 1991, was first publicly endorsed by Jamaica as a candidate for CONCACAF president, which was later made official at the congress in Hungary last year.
Since taking over a battered CONCACAF, Webb has spearheaded a number of new and exciting initiatives, including the possibility of staging CONCACAF's marquis event, the Gold Cup, outside of the United States starting from 2015.
He felt it was unfair to the other nations in the region as United States has hosted the tournament every year since 1991.
Webb also wants to introduce a Gold Cup equivalent competition for women's football.
The Caymanian also appointed a new Miami-based general secretary in Enrique Sanz, enabling the CONCACAF head office to relocate to Miami from its posh Manahattan, New York, base.
In the area of banking, Webb has served as business development manager and a director of Fidelity (Cayman) Ltd, one of the largest banks in the Cayman Islands and national agent for the Western Union franchise.
Webb was educated at Tampa College and studied business and finance.
A date and time for a formal awards function is to be announced soon.

Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for checking out our site! We are just a couple of stoners who love the cannabis industry and are just trying to be our own boss. We live near Grand Rapids, MI with our five girls and two pitbulls. We have been growing god's herb forever and have had some adventures trying to get the strains we want. We have traveled hours to Canada to drive around looking for a seedbank, let me tell you, they hide them very well. We have lost hundreds of dollars by sending bitcoin to the wrong address. We have used bag beans and grown subpar plants. We have pretty much done it all and know how difficult it can be. Clones can be great, unless they have powdery mildew or mites. Also, who wants to grow the exact same thing as everyone else?? This is why we have started our own site, to give medical patients access to the genetics they need to live a better everyday life. If you live in a place where cultivating cannabis for medical or recreational purposes is illegal, dankseeds.org does not endorse the cultivation of the souvenirs we provide. They are for genetic preservation until your state or our country makes cannabis legal!

British artist Damien Hirst's latest work is a a baby skull covered with diamonds. On one hand, diamonds are a girl's best friend, but on the other, dead baby. Ow, my ladybrain.
The piece, called "For Heaven's Sake," features a tiny skull covered with platinum and diamonds. It will first go on display in the artists gallery in Hong Kong before heading Londonward later this year.
Critics say that the artist is exhibiting an unfortunate amount of callousness and that bereaved parents would be negatively emotionally impacted by the sight of a bedazzled baby skull, but the artist disagrees, as the remains are quite old. The skull is actually part of a 19th century collection of curiosities acquired by the artist, and the child whose skull is used in the sculpture died before he or she was two weeks old. (Side note: apparently there's this shadow market for human skulls? Even baby skulls? The surprise I feel in response to learning that indicates to me that I must be kind of sheltered.) Is there a statute of limitations on baby skull art?
"For Heaven's Sake" is meant to follow Hirst's earlier work, an adult human skull covered with platinum and diamonds that fetched a nearly $100 million price tag called "For The Love Of God." Clearly I've been doing the wrong thing with my life, as the real money's in covering weird shit with jewels. I think my now-deceased childhood pets are still buried in the backyard at my parents' house; I wonder how much I could get for covering a cat ribcage with sequins. At least $100, right?
Artist Damien Hirst Offends Bereaved Parents By Using Infant's Skull for "Disturbing" New Artwork [The Telegraph]

PHILADELPHIA - Ryan Howard wanted to be in another place, and Kyle Kendrick rolled his eyes, and David Buchanan wondered, and Domonic Brown complained and Tuesday, Cole Hamels strolled off the mound before the manager had a formal chance to make a pitching change.
Individual acts, different situations. Howard was unhappy with a lineup. Kendrick and Buchanan wanted to pitch longer, Brown apparently thought he could use more playing time, Hamels was frustrated near the end of a tantalizing season. And through that rampant in-house disrespect, the manager, Ryne Sandberg, ducked, and weaved, and survived.
'He's very patient,' Larry Bowa said.
More patient than Bowa might have been?
'I mean, no, I don't think … ' Bowa was saying Wednesday, trying to hide a telling smile, understanding his own reputation as a manager, as a player, as a competitor, as a critic. 'Yeah, no, no way.' And with that, Bowa laughed, not at a situation that could grow toxic, but at the way the game, all of it, has changed.
'Look at it,' Bowa said. 'Guys hit a double, get to second and make a bow-and-arrow motion. I don't even want to think about what pitchers would have done years ago, if that happened.'
That was then, this is the 21st century, when everything is magnified, broadcast and over-analyzed, the dirty looks and mumbled comments from the players included. Bowa hasn't managed since 2004, and so much has changed in 10 years, so he understands that a manager's skin has to be thicker than the padding on the outfield wall. And that's why he insists that Sandberg will shovel himself out of the avalanche of disrespect, emerging clean, becoming successful.
'You're talking about a guy who was 1-for-his-first-32 when he began playing in Chicago,' Bowa said. 'And I was right there in the infield next to him. I kept looking at him, and would try to give him some support. But I'll never forget: He kept saying, 'No, I've got this. I've got it. I'll be all right. It's going to be fine.'
'He had a pretty good career, didn't he?'
Sandberg's Hall of Fame plaque doesn't mention that 1-for-32, and no one will remember the accumulated dirty looks of that lost summer of 2014 if he ever manages the Phillies to a championship. But they have been there, and they have been documented. Nor has Sandberg denied that they have occurred. Why else would he have acknowledged seeking out Hamels Wednesday for a talk? What? Was he interested in buying that mansion the left-hander has had up for sale?
'I had a brief little conversation with him,' Sandberg said. 'He was upset with what had happened in the seventh inning. I gave him a verbal when I was about six feet from the grass: 'I'll pick you up right here, Cole. Nice job.' He thought that was a release to let him go. I just clarified that with him.'
The Phillies have provided too little clarity in a season that should not have been so horrid, not with their payroll, not with so many players generating impressive statistics. But they have a rotten mix and, it is growing clear, a disintegrating respect for their manager. Since a similar nucleus wasn't winning, either, for Charlie Manuel, there is no cause-effect evidence. Besides, no one grumbled more about the way they were managed than the 1980 Phillies, and in particular their shortstop, and they won the championship of the world.
'That's part of it,' Bowa said. 'But if you're a manager, you can't take that stuff personal, especially with this generation.'
So far, Sandberg hasn't belly-flopped into that generation gap, handling the issues, moving on.
'It's different now,' Bowa said. 'Now, whatever happens is in the paper in 10 minutes. I'm sort of glad I am not playing now, because I would have gotten in a lot of trouble, with the I-phones and the cameras and the tweets. I don't have a filter. So I will stay away from that stuff.'
Too few in Phillies uniforms have filters. Their manager, patient for as long as Larry Bowa has known him, is not one.

The Cubs traded pitchers and one regular, so how did they almost get no-hit on Tuesday night?
The Cubs still had their regular left-handed lineup available, the one they would've used at any other point in the season, so how did they almost get no-hit by right-handed starter A.J. Burnett?
Spoiler alert: The Cubs hitters' mental and emotional response to the trade deadline looked as bad as Burnett's curveball was good.
Maybe I'm just irrationally angry over a sorry act or maybe I have a point. You can decide, but --- another spoiler alert --- I'm going to rant some.
In less than 24 hours leading up to the trade deadline, Cubs president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer stripped the roster of Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Geovany Soto and Reed Johnson in exchange for what they hope is more than a handful of magic beans.
Dempster was scheduled to start Tuesday night, but was dealt to the Rangers before Wrigley Field boos could rain down on a guy who seemed to go back on his word. Amid all the tiring spin on the aborted trade with Atlanta last week, the one thing that isn't in dispute is that Dempster said no to a deal in which the Cubs would've acquired a quality prospect.
After refusing to waive the no-trade right that he previously agreed to waive, Dempster seemed to be forcing a trade to the Dodgers, who weren't forced to give up much because of Dempster's actions. The fallout left the Cubs desperate to take a couple Class-A players from Texas minutes before the end of the non-waiver period.
If you favor baseball karma, then you might like this: Dempster will make his debut for the AL West-leading Rangers against the AL West rival Angels, who brought in Albert Pujols, who just posted his first multi-homer game this season and has more homers off Dempster any other pitcher.
I don't know if I believe in baseball karma, but I believe a lot of Cubs fans will be pulling for Pujols on Thursday.
Anyway, back to Dempster's former team and the near-no-hitter Tuesday hours after the trade deadline passed. Apparently, the survivors exhaled. Or took an extra day off. Or showed their relief at still being able to wear the colors of one of the worst teams in baseball by looking like one of the worst teams in baseball.
Too many of the Cubs hitters looked as if they were just happy to be there instead of grinding at-bats and working the game. I could be wrong. Burnett might've been a lot better than I think. But the plate umpire looked tougher on Burnett than the Cubs hitters, and I don't think it hurts my contention that the guy who broke up the no-no was someone called up only hours before the first pitch.
This was not the kind of response you wanted to see. I understand that a lot of names got thrown around in trade rumors since Epstein came in. I'm aware he basically said that any player who was here before he arrived would be gone before he was done building the foundation for sustained success. I can see how that puts everyone on edge.
Well, tough.
Ballplayers get paid well. Part of that compensation covers potentially being traded. Deal with it in an adult manner. The trade deadline is all about who got moved, but it's also a chance to examine the makeup of those who didn't, and the remaining Cubs did not distinguish themselves.
In another life, this would anger more people. This might turn into a referendum on the players' mental state and emotional strength, but at worst, questions regarding the Cubs' focus after the trade deadline would be a big deal if that game mattered.
Lucky for those Cubs players that no game will matter until, I don't know, 2015. Lucky for Cubs fans that almost none of those players will be here then.

2008 OECD Economic Surveys: Netherlands 2008
This 2007 Economic Survey looks at how, after a long stagnation during the first half of the decade, the Dutch economy has made a successful comeback. Living standards in the Netherlands are among the highest in the OECD, and over recent years growth has strengthened and unemployment has fallen.
This most recent survey focuses on labour utilisation, which has been the main source of growth in the past decade, but which is likely to slow sharply with the ageing of the Dutch population. Improving work incentives is therefore a key imperative. Although labour-market participation rates are high, there are several groups who continue to be less active.
This survey looks at the challenges threatening the prosperity of the Dutch economy, which include: addressing the effects of population ageing on the sustainability of the public finances; boosting the labour market involvement of under-participating groups; helping parents reconcile work and family responsibilities; and improving the immigration policy and the integration of migrants.

Fully 78% of financial advisors surveyed about their use of exchange traded funds at the Morningstar ETF Invest Conference in Chicago this month said they planned to increase their use of ETFs in retail investors' portfolios in 2013, Guggenheim Investments announced Thursday.
Just 1% of the 55 advisors that Guggenheim surveyed onsite at the Morningstar event said they didn't plan to increase their ETF usage, and only 16% of advisors cited low costs as the biggest advantage to incorporating fixed-income ETFs into retail investor portfolios.
Convenience and liquidity were listed by 71% of advisors as the biggest advantages of using fixed-income ETFs in retail client portfolios, while 13% named transparency and tax advantages as the biggest benefits.
"There is room to grow in the ETF space, and we would argue that it's in the early games," said Tony Davidow (left), managing director and portfolio strategist at Guggenheim Investments, at a media roundtable in New York on Wednesday. "We think much of the growth will come from advisors."
The Guggenheim survey mirrors an independent advisor outlook study released in October by Charles Schwab, which reports that ETFs lead in the type of investment that advisors say they are most likely to invest in more over the next six months. A total of 32% of 839 advisors surveyed said they invested more in ETFs in July, compared with 34% in January. In the No. 2 spot were alternative investments, at 18% of advisors in July versus 19% in January, and in the No. 3 spot was real estate, at 18% in July versus 14% in January.
While advisors told Guggenheim that fees are not their primary concern, fees have nevertheless been dropping throughout the industry, with BlackRock and Vanguard two of the latest to take action. In September Charles Schwab cut ETF fees, some as much as 59%, and Fidelity Investments had waived trading commissions in 2010 and 2011 on a group of ETFs.
Guggenheim, meanwhile, has been building a name for itself as an actively managed fixed-income ETF shop. The firm offers a total of 80 domestic and international equity, fixed-income and currency exchange traded products, but it prides itself on its BulletShares high-yield corporate bond ETFs, which carry an expense ratio of 0.42%.
There's a good argument to favor actively managed fixed-income ETFs over actively managed equity ETFs, said Davidow along with Guggenheim Director of Product Development Bill Belden at the roundtable.
The "opaqueness of the fixed-income marketplace" creates demand for actively managed fixed-income ETFs, especially now that the supply of individual bonds is less accessible, Belden said. He added that the intraday liquidity and transparency of ETFs lets advisors know the duration of a basket of bonds at any time, which is not the case with mutual funds.
Pointing to the $3 billion in assets recently reached by the PIMCO Total Return ETF, Belden said there was clearly a wide demand for active management, especially when it comes from a star manager such as Bill Gross.
"If Bill Gross publishes his holdings on a daily basis, I guarantee you there will be interest," Belden said.

LucasArts might be gone, but the characters from its classic adventure games live on. In YouTube user Felipe Machado's video, the worlds of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and almost everything else LucasArts did in the 90s collide for terrific a mini-adventure.
And their adventure has a rather unexpected cameo at the end...
I'd watch more of these, since the dialogue resembles the original games a bit. And despite the graphics being distinct in each one of these games, Mr. Machado was able to fit them together perfectly.

An 11-year-old who performed the National Anthem in a mariachi suit at Wednesday's NBA Finals game received a raucous ovation for his rendition.
The Twittersphere, however, wasn't as supportive.
Many tweets directed at Sebastian De La Cruz involved hate speech.
One person wrote: "How you singing the national anthem looking like an illegal immigrant?"
"Why is a foreigner singing the national anthem?" another wrote.
NBC Bay Area's Damian Trujillo looks at how this kind of reaction could have negative consequences for the boy and beyond.

Jewelry can be one of the most difficult subjects to shoot because you are shooting small subjects which are generally very reflective and hard to light. You may want to look for a book or a website on specific techniques on this type of shooting as many pros spend a lifetime perfecting the techniques, and there is more information than can be covered in a short article.
However, a Micro-Nikkor lens (or more generally a "macro" lens) is a special lens designed to take very sharp images at very close focus distances. Nikon offer several different options here:
Each of the Micro-Nikkor allow the same 1:1 reproduction size but the longer focal lengths (i.e.105mm) allow you to be farther away, making it easier to properly light the subject. Other tips:
1) Use a sturdy tripod to hold the camera still.
2) Use small apertures (i.e. f22) to increase depth-of-field (zone of sharp focus) so that the entire subject is in focus.
3) "Tent" style lighting where the lights are outside a sheer fabric "tent" of diffusion material can reduce shadows/ reflections. Shoot through a hole in the tent.
4) Reflector cards can also be used to control the light.

1. Stir the base (Part A) well before use (except when machine dispensing).
2. Shake the catalyst container (Part B) well before use.
3. Weigh the desired amount of base into a clean mixing container. Tip the container and roll the base all the way around the side wall up to two inches from the top. This will prevent the catalyst from becoming absorbed into the container. It is recommended that the container be filled to not more than 1/3 the container depth to allow sufficient room for expansion during the deaeration procedure.
4. Weigh the proper amount of catalyst into the container. Mix the base and catalyst together by stirring with a stiff, flat ended metal spatula until a uniform color is obtained. Scrape the container walls and bottom well to insure a thorough mix.
5. Place the container into a vacuum chamber and evacuate the entrapped air from the mixture using a vacuum pump capable of achieving 29 inches of mercury vacuum. The mixture will rise, crest and then collapse in the container. Interruption (bumping) of the vacuum may be necessary to prevent overflowing the container. Keep the mixture under full vacuum for 2-3 minutes after the material has receded in the container.
6. Bleed air slowly into the vacuum chamber. When the chamber is at atmospheric equilibrium, remove the cover plate and take out the container.
7. Pour the deaired material slowly in a steady stream from one end of the mold box so that the material flows evenly over the pattern. This should minimize entrapment of air bubbles under the flowing material. A "print" coat may be poured first over the pattern which will also help reduce the possibility of entrapping air on the pattern and in the cured rubber. A mold release (petroleum jelly) may be applied on the pattern first to improve release.
8. Allow the rubber to cure for 16-24 hours at 75±5°F (24°C) before removing the cured rubber mold from the pattern. Heat acceleration is not recommended with this product.
9. For best results, allow the mold to air cure an additional 24 hours before using it in production. Full cure is achieved in 3-7 days.
10. For bonding to wood or metals, use BLUESIL™ V-04 primer. Follow recommendations on the BLUESIL™ V-04 technical data sheet for best results.
1. For best results, mix and cure the material at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity.
2. Higher temperature and humidity will decrease the work life and pot life of the material. The faster cure will also affect the flow properties. Refrigeration of the base prior to use in hot environments has shown to improve the handling properties of this material.
3. Lower temperatures and humidity will increase the work life and pot life of the material. The slower cure will increase the flow time. Cure temperatures below 68°F (20°C) are not recommended and have been found to cause a reduction in final cure hardness and properties.
4. It is important that the catalyst containers are tightly closed after use. Catalyst exposed to air for extended periods of time will hydrolyze (cure). An indication of hydrolysis is a film or crust formation on the surface of the catalyst. The use of hydrolyzed catalyst is not recommended and may cause incomplete cure.
BLUESIL ™ V-1068 may be easily pigmented which makes it ideal for robotic and animatronic skins, special effect skins, prosthetics and props for theme parks and the film industry.

VANCOUVER, BC – For most people, the first day at a new job is a nerve-racking one.
Highlights: Portland Timbers 1 Vancouver Whitecaps FC 1
Goalkeeper David Ousted's MLS debut for Vancouver Whitecaps FC came Aug. 3 on the road versus Portland Timbers – in a Cascadia Cup derby match. As he walked out in front of 20,674 rabid fans at JELD-WEN Field, one with chainsaw in hand, he was inspired by the hostility rather than intimidated.
"You got be mentally prepared for it. I just love to play in those settings," Ousted told whitecapsfc.com. "I almost calmed down a little bit when I came out to see that, to hear the national anthems and the crowd singing…"
"I love playing in front of a lot of people and with a hostile crowd it makes it even more fun."
The Danish keeper had been waiting for his moment patiently. He joined the the 'Caps from Randers FC, a Danish Superliga side managed by former Whitecaps FC defender Colin Todd, on June 20. However, with the international transfer window not opening until July 9, Ousted was ineligible to play before then.
But he kept busy.
He got his family settled into a home on the North Shore. On June 29, he hosted a viewing party with club ambassador Carl Valentine at The Pint Public House & Sports Bar as his team was away battling D.C. United. On July 6, before the Blue and White's historical home win over Seattle Sounders FC, he was available for photographs and autographs on Terry Fox Plaza. A day after that, he donned the 'Caps jersey for the first time in a 4-0 win over the Sounders – albeit in MLS Reserve League play.
It was against Portland when Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie gave the new keeper his chance.
"I prepared myself like I normally do and I tried to take it like any other match," said Ousted.
Vancouver fought tooth and nail to earn a well-deserved 1-1 draw that evening – a second-half header from left-back Jordan Harvey cancelled out Ryan Johnson's header. More importantly, Ousted got one of the most difficult games on the MLS schedule out of the way first. In a season where points on the road are at a premium for every team in the tightly contested Western Conference, Ousted's debut was certainly a success.
Ousted's European highlights
Ousted's resume from his playing career overseas is quite impressive. He backstopped Randers FC to the Danish Cup final just last year, he has experience playing in the UEFA Europa League (one of the premier club soccer competitions), and he also has international experience with Denmark at the U-21, U-20 and U-19 level.
At his previous club, Randers FC, he recorded 35 clean sheets in 103 appearances. In the 2011-2012 season with the Horses, out of the 24 games Ousted started, he earned a clean sheet in 10 of them – an astonishing shutout rate of 41 per cent.
But after a decade playing soccer professionally in his native country Denmark, he was looking for a new challenge, a new set of experiences, and Vancouver came calling.
When asked what compelled him to take the next chapter of his career here, Ousted said the offer Vancouver put on the table was "the whole package." It aligned with his love for the outdoors and allowed him the opportunity to develop himself on the pitch.
"I love the mountains," he said. "Denmark doesn't have mountains, the tallest thing we have is like 200 metres or something."
Another aspect coming abroad to the 'Caps would offer was the prospect of playing in front of a packed house of 20,000 people every other week at home. Back at AutoC Park Randers, home of his former club, only about 6,000 to 7,000 fans would show up to each game on average.
However, when the move to bring the former Danish youth international keeper became official, many fans were a bit perplexed by the move as the club already had two MLS-proven goalkeepers in Brad Knighton and Joe Cannon, as well as a budding developing Canadian star in Simon Thomas.
The way club president Bob Lenarduzzi saw it, it was an acquisition made for the long term that would crowd the depth chart in the short term.
"We were aware that in the short term that there were would be some surprise in the fact we'd carry four keepers," Lenarduzzi told whitecapsfc.com. "But we felt that if we didn't move on him at that time, he would've ended up somewhere else and who knows when a keeper of the same ability comes up again."
The word "presence" is thrown around a lot when discussing Ousted's goakeeping style. Lenarduzzi praises the Dane's command of his box especially when it comes to crosses coming into the box. He's also quick to point out Ousted's excellent distribution of the ball through long throws, which have pinpoint accuracy.
On the pitch, he is a humble player who possesses the confidence to challenge and stop the likes of Chris Wondolowski, Thierry Henry, Clint Dempsey and other star attackers MLS has to offer.
"I think that it's important not to come into a league and be scared of everybody," he said. "You can be amazed by what they've done in their career but when you play, you have to think you can shut him out."
While off the pitch, Ousted is involved in a plethora of charity work as his mother passed away from cancer just six years ago. He feels since he is a soccer player who is constantly in the limelight, it gives him an excellent platform to give back.
Before the afternoon training session in which this interview with him took place, he was just at the hospital giving a speech to an organization called Teammates for Children.
Ousted makes a sprawling save Aug. 10 vs. San Jose
A week after the 1-1 draw with Portland, Ousted got the nod from Rennie as the starter for a second straight match – this time it was his home debut versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Things got off to a rocky start for the Dane on 10 minutes, when what looked like a tamely struck shot from Rafael Baca on the edge of the box was mishandled out of play for a corner.
"I made a small mistake in the beginning, but that's just soccer," he admitted. "Everybody makes mistakes, you just got to go past them and hopefully have an impact of the game. Luckily, I was a big influence in that game."
Indeed he was, thanks to two match-changing saves to keep the contest scoreless.
First, he sprawled across the face of goal in the 38th minute to get his fingertips to Cordell Cato's right-footed effort earmarked for the bottom left corner, Ousted's effort was later nominated for save of the week. Later on in the 55th minute, he did extremely well to get a finger to Clarence Goodson's header before Nigel-Reo Coker cleared the potential rebound off the goal line.
Two goals from Camilo and Kenny Miller sent the fans home happy, but the scene was set for flurry of goals in the final half hour by Ousted.
After recording his first win in MLS, a shutout at that, Ousted took his time in applauding the BC Place faithful in various sections, soaking in the glee surrounding his new home for soccer for the foreseeable future. By the time he began making his way to the locker room, almost 10 minutes after the final whistle had blown, he was the last player from either team still on the pitch.
"We have great fans, even though I was here for four, five weeks before I played, they've been really good to me and everybody welcomed me and said they looked forward to seeing me play," he said.
"I can't wait to keep coming into BC Place."
