Q: How to make BorderThickness, BorderBrush values propagate to all children using XAML In my Window if I set FontFamily, FontSize properties in XAML code. They affect all the children. All the controls now have same FontFamily, and FontSize. But if I set BorderThickness, BorderBrush likewise, only my Window gets affected. Rest of child controls don't take any effect.
I want same propagation in all my child control of the Window with BorderThickness and BorderColor properties like with FontFamily and FontSize.
Eg;
<Window
   ...
 FontFamily="Segoe Print" FontSize="24">

    <Canvas Margin="50" Background="Wheat">
        <Grid Margin="15" Background="AliceBlue">
            <Button Margin="5" Content="Press"/>
        </Grid>
        <Label Canvas.Left="178" Canvas.Top="10" Background="AliceBlue">
            <TextBlock Text="some text"/>
        </Label>
        <Border Canvas.Left="62" Canvas.Top="128"  Background="Azure" Height="68" Width="181">
            <CheckBox Content="CheckBox" Margin="10,10,16,22"/>
        </Border>
    </Canvas>

</Window>

The above piece of code will have all the controls displaying in 'Segoe Print' font with font-size of 24.
But if I set BorderThickness and BorderBrush in my Window tag, only Window gets affected and not all the children.
I can achieve this effect using code by handling Loaded event of the Window, using Binding, and of course using global Style targetting Border. But I want to do it without them, as I want the property to get propagated automatically as mentioned above.
Desired effect :
The moment I drag a Control onto my Designer surface, the dragged Control should update its BorderThickness and BorderBrush properties in accordance with that set in Window. If it is not possible with default behavior, then how can I at least achieve this effect of setting a property in window and let all children react to it.
Note : I don't want to use a Style, but want to utilize property value inheritance. Property Value Inheritance

A: Finally achieved what I was trying to achieve. See the code below. Set the two attached properties in Window, and now if you drag controls on the designer, and those controls expose border related properties, changes are visible immediately.
<Window ...
   local:InheritableProps.BorderThickness="5.0"
   local:InheritableProps.BorderBrush="Yellow"
>

    <Canvas Margin="50" Background="Wheat">
        <Border Canvas.Left="60" Canvas.Top="103" Width="75">
            <Button Content="Button" Height="22" Margin="5"/>
        </Border>
        <Label Canvas.Left="177" Canvas.Top="84" Height="55" Width="143">
            <TextBox Height="23" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" Width="120"/>
        </Label>
    </Canvas>

</Window>

I wrote two Attached Properties, similar to TextElement.FontSize. And to enable PropertyValueInheritance, I have used the  FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Inherits option. In corresponding PropertyChangedHandlers, I check if the Object exposes border properties, then change these using SetCurrentValue method. Direct assignment, or using SetValue method will change the local values. Local values have the highest precedence, here we are trying for property value inheritance only.
public class InheritableProps : DependencyObject
{
    public static Thickness GetBorderThickness(DependencyObject obj)
    {
        return (Thickness)obj.GetValue(BorderThicknessProperty);
    }

    public static void SetBorderThickness(DependencyObject obj, Thickness value)
    {
        obj.SetValue(BorderThicknessProperty, value);
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for BorderThickness.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty BorderThicknessProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("BorderThickness", typeof(Thickness), typeof(InheritableProps),
                    new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new Thickness(), FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure | FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender | FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Inherits,
                        new PropertyChangedCallback(BorderThicknessCallback),
                        null));

    public static SolidColorBrush GetBorderBrush(DependencyObject obj)
    {
        return (SolidColorBrush)obj.GetValue(BorderBrushProperty);
    }

    public static void SetBorderBrush(DependencyObject obj, SolidColorBrush value)
    {
        obj.SetValue(BorderBrushProperty, value);
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for BorderBrush.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty BorderBrushProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("BorderBrush", typeof(SolidColorBrush), typeof(InheritableProps),
                        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender | FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Inherits,
                        new PropertyChangedCallback(BorderBrushCallback),
                        null));

    private static void BorderBrushCallback(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("BorderBrush > " + d.ToString());

        Type type = d.GetType();
        PropertyInfo borderBrushPropInfo = type.GetProperty("BorderBrush");
        PropertyInfo borderThicknessPropInfo = type.GetProperty("BorderThickness");

        if (borderBrushPropInfo != null && borderThicknessPropInfo !=null)
        {
            d.SetCurrentValue(Border.BorderBrushProperty, e.NewValue);

            /* This will set the local value which has highest precedence*/
            //borderBrushPropInfo.SetValue(d, e.NewValue);
        }
    }

    private static void BorderThicknessCallback(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("BorderThickness > " + d.ToString());

        Type type = d.GetType();
        PropertyInfo borderBrushPropInfo = type.GetProperty("BorderBrush");
        PropertyInfo borderThicknessPropInfo = type.GetProperty("BorderThickness");

        if (borderBrushPropInfo != null && borderThicknessPropInfo != null)
        {
            d.SetCurrentValue(Border.BorderThicknessProperty, e.NewValue);

            /* This will set the local value which has highest precedence*/
            //borderThicknessPropInfo.SetValue(d, e.NewValue);
        }
    }
}

Kim Dickens est une actrice américaine née le  à Huntsville, Alabama (États-Unis).

 Biographie
Kim Dickens est née à Huntsville, Alabama, fille de Pam (Clark) Howell et Justin Dickens, un chanteur de country. Elle est diplômée du Lee High School de Huntsville et rejoint l'université Vanderbilt à Nashville, Tennessee, où elle obtient un « Bachelor of Arts » en communication. Kim Dickens part bientôt à New York City, où elle travaille comme serveuse, pour continuer ses études au Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute et être diplômée de l'American Academy of Dramatic Arts. À la fin des années 1990 elle part à Los Angeles.

 Débuts et progression discrète (années 1990)
Elle débute à la télévision par des petits rôles dans des séries et téléfilms, avant de se concentrer sur le cinéma : elle joue dans le thriller indépendant La Dernière Cavale (1997), avec Kiefer Sutherland, puis seconde Bill Pullman et Ben Stiller pour la comédie noire La Méthode zéro (1998), puis tient un petit rôle dans la romance De grandes espérances, porté par Gwyneth Paltrow et Ethan Hawke.

Elle parvient ensuite à jouer dans des grosses productions : le thriller d'action Code Mercury (1998) avec Bruce Willis, Hollow Man (2000), de Paul Verhoeven, Intuitions (2001), de Sam Raimi. La même année, elle est pour la première fois tète d'affiche d'un film, le drame musical indépendant Things Behind the Sun.

 Seconds rôles à la télévision (années 2000)
Finalement, c'est à la télévision qu'elle se fait connaitre durant les années 2000 : après avoir tenu le premier rôle féminin de l'éphémère série policière Big Apple, elle intègre le casting d'une mini-série dramatique, Out of Order, où elle a pour partenaires Felicity Huffman et Eric Stoltz. Puis le créateur de Big Apple lui confie le rôle de Joanie Stubb dans sa nouvelle série, un western appelé Deadwood. La série est cependant arrêtée soudainement par la chaîne HBO au bout de trois saisons, en 2004.

Parallèlement au tournage, l'actrice apparait dans plusieurs films : le thriller psychologique House of Sand and Fog (2003), le drame indépendant Goodnight, Joseph Parker (2004), la satire à succès Thank You for Smoking (2005) ou encore le drame anglais Wild Tigers I Have Known (2006). Mais par la suite, elle ne décroche que des rôles mineurs, qui passent inaperçus.

Mais c'est à la télévision qu'elle conserve une visibilité médiatique grâce à des petits rôles récurrents : dans Lost : Les Disparus (2005), Numbers (2006), FlashForward (2009), Friday Night Lights (2008-2009).

Elle tente aussi de revenir comme actrice régulière d'une série. Mais le projet 12 Miles of Bad Road (2008) n'aboutit finalement pas, malgré six épisodes de tournés, puis l'épisode pilote de la série 1%, créé par Ryan Murphy, n'est pas commandé.

 Percée médiatique (années 2010)

Finalement, elle rejoint en 2010 le casting d'une nouvelle série dramatique de HBO, Treme. La série, acclamée par la critique, va durer quatre saisons et 38 épisodes diffusés jusqu'en 2013. elle tourne aussitôt le pilote d'une nouvelle série policière, Second Sight, dont elle partagerait l'affiche avec Jason Lee, mais le projet n'est pas commandé. elle accepte donc un rôle récurrent dans la nouvelle saison de la série à succès Sons of Anarchy.

Elle garde un pied dans le cinéma en tournant sous la direction de David Fincher pour le thriller psychologique Gone Girl (2014) puis de Tim Burton pour le conte familial Miss Peregrine et les Enfants particuliers (2016). Fincher lui confie un rôle récurrent dans la troisième saison de sa série politique House of Cards.

Mais en 2015, elle décroche le premier rôle féminin, celui de Madison Clark, d'une nouvelle série fantastique très attendue, Fear the Walking Dead. Elle se contente donc d'apparaître dans deux épisodes de la quatrième saison (diffusée en 2016) de House of Cards, et ne reviendra que pour un ultime épisode en saison 5 (dévoilée en 2017).

L'année 2019 débute avec la sortie d'un téléfilm concluant la série Deadwood, quinze ans après la diffusion du dernier épisode.

Elle est à l'affiche du film Land en 2021.

The OUAFC Blues faced the University of Nottingham 2s on a warm afternoon 24 October, 2018.
The match was a back and forth battle for the first quarter of the game with the Blues eventually breaking the deadlock with a nice string of passes in their half and a long diagonal ball coming from the left back Leo Ackerman to forward Eddy Mort who controlled the ball well near the top of the box, turned to free up space for himself, and took a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the goal.
The second half brought more excitement – Nottingham had surely been given a harsh talking to after a disjointed first half performance, and they emerged on the front foot and evidently hungry to turn the game around. They started well, and won a free-kick from a crossing position on the right. The Blues' poor marking and a strong leap from the Nottingham captain saw the scores levelled at 1-1. Soon after, goalscorer Eddy Mort went down with an injury and was replaced by Patrick Barton.
As the game wore on, and the Blues constantly threatened on the counter, it seemed as if it was going to take a special moment like last week against Cambridge to turn this into 3 points. Chris Coveney supplied that something special and substitute Barton capitalised. Coveney floated a cross from the left side of the box aiming for Barton. Though the cross did not have much pace and was low, Barton did well to bend down and put just enough power behind the ball to head it across goal into the bottom right corner away from the Nottingham keeper's reach. This was followed by 10 minutes of intense pressure from a passionate Nottingham side, with the crossbar hit less than 5 minutes before the end of the game. Again, the Dark Blues dug deep and used their experience from the game against Cambridge last week to see out the win.
The game ended in a 2-1 victory for the Blues, and their league campaign is now looking much stronger than it did after their first home game two weeks ago. The outlook is much more positive and with a home game against Loughborough and a trip to Nottingham in 2 weeks to play their 1st team, there is real optimism in the group.
A late but thoroughly deserved winner saw the Centaurs continue their ferocious form and advance past Worcester 3s into the next round of the cup.
The Centaurs had been on terrific form. 2 wins from 2, top of the league - the pre-season loss to Portsmouth seemed lightyears away. They headed to Worcester brimming with confidence, most of the team still buzzing from the 12 point Wednesday of the previous week. This was a replay of the opening league game of the season, which saw Oxford emerge as the superior outfit after a resounding 4-1 win at Uni Parks. But this wasn't a league game, and anything can happen in the cup.
The boys in blue arrived to Worcester feeling fairly confident. Immediately the sight of a 3G pitch only served to further boost the confidence of the Oxford side and they got out onto the pitch with a spring in their step. The whistle blew for kick-off and it became clear that the Centaurs were going to enjoy possession on this surface.
A period of early dominance culminated in a wonderful attacking move starting from the left side of defence that worked its way through the pitch to the edge of the Worcester box. With shades of 1970s Brazil, the Centaurs played a series of quick and intricate passes building up to Jake Duxbury laying it back to Joe Hughes who slid a lovely through ball into the path of Maxwell Jones. The outcome was inevitable and Oxford went 1-0 up after about 10 minutes.
After this, however, play started to become frantic and rushed. Worcester, to their credit, were pressing aggressively high up the pitch and causing Oxford some issues when they tried to get their foot on the ball and play. Without really threatening, Worcester managed to break up play in the middle of the pitch and Oxford went into half-time with the lead but also a slight feeling of disappointment.
After half-time, the game continued in a similar way with both teams looking to get the ball in behind and chase after it due to the congestion in the middle of the park. Oxford again dominated, but the half became frustratingly stop-start as the Worcester players went down time and time again with injuries. This led to a brief lack of concentration from the Oxford defence as one hopeful long-ball wasn't dealt with and the Worcester striker was able to poke it home. The home fans celebrated wildly, but this only served as a wake-up to the Centaurs who then upped the intensity and began to bombard the Worcester defence with attack after attack.
As the clock ticked down, it became clear that one moment of magic would be all that was needed to come away with the win. This came in the 85th minute. Alex Guzel was hacked down in the opposition half for the 3rd time in as many minutes, leaving John Findlay with an ever-dangerous set-piece to put into the box. The Centaurs back line were queuing up at the back post but it wasn't any of them who got their head on the ball. Up stepped Jake Duxbury, a man with some demons to exercise after two consecutive DoDs, to hang in the air before burying a bullet header past the helpless Worcester keeper. With the home crowd now silenced, Oxford controlled the game, aided by El Capitan adopting the 'Jongolo Kante' role for the remaining five minutes, to emerge as 2-1 victors.
The Centaurs will admit it wasn't their best or prettiest performance, but it is the sign of a great team to win when you're not playing your best. Bring on Brookes in the next round.

Technology is changing and evolving at a rate faster than we thought possible. And its transforming jobs and skills more than ever before. A recent Harvard Business Review article found that by 2022, core skills for most roles will have changed by 42%! With this disruption and evolution, businesses are left wondering - what skills do we need to truly compete? What do you think the future of business looks like?
By Leah Belsky, October 4, 2019
Charles W. Eliot, who served as President of Harvard University for a record 40 years, charted a roadmap for education in his seminal essay, The New Education. Written in 1869, it made the case for continuously updating how and what students learn, so education could evolve in step with society. That approach remains just as relevant today, 150 years later.
Today's educators have to rethink higher education for a world that's being overturned by technology. As Farnam Jahanian, President of Carnegie Mellon University, recently observed, "The unprecedented pace of societal change makes the need for reform more urgent. There is great pressure on higher education as the engine of progress in a knowledge-based economy."
Technology is transforming jobs and skills faster than organizations or people can adapt. Coursera's Global Skills Index 2019 found that two-thirds of the world's population is falling behind in critical skills. Research from the World Economic Forum suggests that the core skills required to perform most roles will change by 42% on average by 2022. At this level of disruption, companies are scrambling to identify and source the skills they need to stay competitive. The availability of key skills is now one of the top three business threats for CEOs globally, according to a recent PwC survey.
As the gatekeepers of knowledge and stewards of human capital, universities have to play a major role in preparing a skilled global workforce. Doing so will require an ecosystem-oriented mindset, using online offerings to extend reach and establish partnerships with other universities and content providers. For that matter, it will require much greater investment than the 3% of overall expenditure currently allocated to technology in the education sector. Much like industries, universities will need digital solutions to solve for the big problems in higher education.
Higher education for the people, at global scale
By harnessing emerging technologies, universities can reach beyond campus walls to empower diverse learners at global scale. It begins with embracing stackable, online learning, which provides flexibility and affordability that increases access to university curricula and allows students to engage in smaller chunks of learning before committing to larger degree programs. Technology-powered formats like mobile-friendly experiences meet the learner where they are, enabling more seamless transitions for those entering a new learning environment or picking up where they left off. At a more advanced level, embracing AI-powered adaptive learning will enable universities to personalize education for millions for more effective outcomes.
Universities have already seen immediate and powerful results from online degree programs. Top MBA programs such as the Global Master of Business Administration from Macquarie University, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign iMBA, Kelley School of Business Online MBA and Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper) online MBA , in particular, have embraced online learning to increase accessibility and affordability for working professionals. These programs also offer stackable learning, such as a short set of online courses, that enable learners to close specific competency gaps or add specific skills to meet immediate career goals.
By embracing technology in its many forms, universities will be able to offer life-changing access to millions more globally. But that's not the only prize. Through deeper engagements and local industry partnerships world-wide, top colleges will be able to create a virtuous cycle that advances research and collaborative thinking to tackle some of the most pressing challenges we face today.
A game-changing university ecosystem
It will take a global community working together to scale access to higher education. Universities can be the center of this revolution by using technology to join forces and create a shared learning ecosystem, supplementing their own curriculum with top courses from other institutions. Last year, Tec de Monterrey in Mexico, Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile came together for La Tríada — a first-of-its-kind collaboration that enables their combined 150,000 students to share access to 100 online courses available from the three institutions. The potential advantages go beyond shared curricula. Universities could also pool resources to launch a common credit or grading system, to create virtual collaborative learning spaces, or to combine insights from a larger network to shape the direction of programs.
Technology-driven collaboration will also help alleviate faculty shortages plaguing institutions worldwide. Earlier this year, Inside Higher Ed reported on a nationwide shortage of computer science professors, describing it as "a supply and demand story, but on steroids." In India, faculty shortages are impeding the impact of top institutions — The Indian Institute of Technology, a leading technology institution, has a 35% faculty shortfall. Digitally-powered ecosystems could seamlessly connect content experts from academia or industry to deliver custom learning programs for students anywhere in the world. Universities would be able to leverage the best minds in the industry or open the doors to online faculty exchanges between institutions.
Technology ecosystems also accelerate research among universities. For example, Quartolio, an AI-powered research platform, is helping researchers across universities like Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford to connect the dots and discover cross-discipline insights in their research areas.
Turning industry-ready
Stanford and Silicon Valley's intertwined history exemplify what's possible when industry and academia come together. According to a PitchBook report, Stanford had the highest number of entrepreneurs — 1,178 — in an undergrad program globally in 2018 (with 1,015 companies and $28.84 billion in capital raised). As skill demands in the workplace continue to evolve quickly, we need greater industry and university interdependency. Institutions like Mines ParisTech are leading the way with strong ties to businesses and more than 100 major industrial partners. In addition to research synergy, courses include internships and study projects with partner companies.
As talent shortages grow worldwide, institutions, and enterprises must chart partnerships that equip learners with employable skills. One standout example is Google IT Support Professional Certificate's alignment with 25 community colleges in the U.S. to offer the IT training program as part of their curriculum. With more than 215,000 open IT support roles, this collaboration addresses a major skills shortage. Google closes the loop by connecting learners in the program with top employers hiring for IT support jobs, among them Walmart and Bank of America. Widening the impact, The University of London and Northeastern University also offer credit towards an online bachelor's degree for learners who complete the program.
The mission for higher education institutions is changing in tandem with the workplace, with reach, impact, and relevance being as important as ever. Universities are being called on to serve more diverse learners on a massive scale. They have to create credentials that catch the attention of employers that are increasingly focused on skills over traditional degrees. They have to create shorter pathways to new skills. And alongside foundational knowledge, they have to offer the flexibility for learners to upskill throughout their careers since lifelong learning is the only way forward. Technology will be the link through this change, revolutionizing what we know as higher ed.

Performing a technical SEO audit is a crucial exercise prior to an SEO campaign. This exercise determines what technical issues to be resolved and where to improve with on page and off page SEO.
A technical SEO Audit is crucial to your SEO success.
Integrated IT Solutions provides an SEO audit process that goes over all aspects of your website in order to be able to rank well for highly competitive phrases. Our goal is to ensure that your website is structurally sound, has no penalties and is setup for ongoing success.
WHY ARE SEO AUDITS IMPORTANT?
Integrated IT Solutions has a proven SEO Audit that is crucial to increasing your site's rankings. Your site may not be ranking well for the appropriate phrases for many different reasons, but before you and start ongoing work and outreach, you need to define areas of fault and fix them immediately. Our audit process is below.
In any ongoing SEO campaign, we provide an SEO audit in the initial phase. The SEO audit is crucial to the success of any SEO campaign. Without performing an audit, we will not be able to make the necessary on-page changes, put in place the proper strategy and discover if your site has had any manual penalties or decreases in rankings due to major algorithm changes. The purpose of the SEO audit is to discover all problem areas of the website from a technical perspective. In addition to all of the on-page changes and recommendations, we perform competitive analysis to get a full understanding of your competitive landscape.
Ensure your site is being indexed, and indexed properly.
As rudimentary as it sound, ensuring that your site is being properly indexed is vital to your rankings and is often be overlooked. In the early stage of the SEO audit, we run crawl tests to see if there are pages not being indexed or have any crawl issues. Below is a list of deliverables for this phase.
The robots.txt file indicates to Google and other search engines what they are allowed to index. In many cases, companies do not want certain pages to be found online, so they direct Google through robots.txt file what to exclude or induce. In the audit, we pull your robots.txt file and determine where you have decided the search engines should or should not index your site.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is software that crawls your website and distributes the SEO elements in a spreadsheet. In the initial phase we use this tool to verify crawl status and ensure that there are not crawlability errors, if so we indicate them in the spreadsheet and implement the appropriate fixes.
Similar to Screaming Frog SEO Spider, Moz provides a crawl test that provides similar results. We use two sources for the crawlability to confirm that we are using the correct data. Moz Site Crawl provides a spreadsheet with all the key SEO elements organize to assist in the on page changes.
The XML sitemap is a list of all the pages on your website. Your website needs to have an XML sitemap and you should have this sitemap in your Google Webmaster Tools settings. In the audit, we determine if your website has an XML sitemap and determine the frequency it is generated and submitted to Google and other search engines. Your sitemap needs to have a full index of your website and be properly sent to Google and other search engines weekly. If a sitemap is not present, we create one that automatically is sent weekly.
Google Webmaster Tools is an inside look at how Google perceives your website. This toolset, created by Google, allows webmasters and SEOs to make adjustments based on the data they see. Google Webmaster Tools will provide warnings if your site has any issues and is a great way to monitor the site from an SEO perspective. Not all sites have a Google Webmaster Tools account setup, so we often start from the beginning. In the audit process, we make sure that all of the settings are properly setup. We also pull many reports to evaluate in future phases of the audit.
It is crucial to choose the right keywords based on competition, search volume and relevance.
Keyword Research needs to be performed prior to any changes made on the website. Determining the keyword set requires a lot of information from the client. In the kickoff meeting, we provide a questionnaire that covers demographic, business priorities and other business rules that establish what keywords phrases we need to target and in priority.
We provide a list of current keyword phrases that are on the website as a baseline and to understand the business in more detail. This list is used only as a starting point and does not steer the direction of the research.
We use software, such as SpyFu, that allows us to see what keyword phrases your competition is going after organically and through marketing efforts in paid search campaigns. We pull many lists from these competitors and run search volume and competition level reports.
This process is important because we know that different people and minds will type in different phrases to get to the same subject matter. At Integrated IT Solutions, we use many different perspectives in our research and develop a list manually. We use the "What would my grandma call this product?" test and others like it to make sure we have all users perspectives included.
Once all of the lists have been created, we compile them and organize by subject matter. Reports are then run to determine monthly search volume and competition level. Once we have the data we scrub through the list and determine the phrases to go after based on the competition level and search volume. The reason why this is so important is because based on your current site metrics, such as Domain Authority and Page Level Authority, your site may not be able to rank for highly competitive phrases immediately, so we have to phase it out in what to target initially so you can see and ROI as early as possible. This does not mean that we ignore high competition phrases, it just means that we develop your plan based on the entire situation and focus efforts on real results.
As a precaution, penalty evaluation is now part of our audit.
Since April of 2012, Google has taken a strong stance against over-optimization through content and through link building. It is crucial that we know all previous SEO related work done on your website to ensure that we put in place a plan to recover. We use many different tools that analyze downturn in rankings and traffic during periods that algorithm changes occurred. We can determine what caused your penalty by this evaluation and set forth a plan to recover.
with you to deliver exceptional results.

Code Name Viper NES
Code Name Viper NES quantity
Category: NES Tag: Shooter
Code Name Viper NES Game Cartridge
Code Name: Viper was published by Capcom and developed by Arc System Works for the NES. The protagonist is Kenny Smith who is an agent with Viper as his code name, and a part of the 98th Special Forces. His commander assigns him a mission to search a big drug organization that covers the entire continent of South America. His objective is to find and rescue an agent in every one of the seven hideout's and find clues to reveal who the true mastermind behind the drug operation is.
Gameplay is similar to the game Rolling Thunder, which was made by Namco in 1986. The player as Smith can drop down or jump between the floors simply by holding down or up on the D-pad and then pressing jump. The two weapons available are a pistol and an auto machine gun. The items that the player can pick up include ammo for either gun, time extension, health, and extra lives. Also, unlike Rolling Thunder, the player can shoot and jump simultaneously and can change direction while jumping.
The game puts an emphasis on trying to rescue hostages, which is also different from Rolling Thunder but similar to Shinobi. In the first seven levels, the player finds captured civilians by entering certain doors. Those rescued will give you their gratitude and provide more insight on the storyline and give you grenades to blow up the objects blocking the exit. The color of the enemies clothing determines how they attack and how strong they are. There are three difficulty settings in the game and a total of eight levels.

14 a massive relient k fan although i like a bunch of other bands too i can play the piano and the guitar (well sort of lol) some of my friends and i r trying to start a band i dunno wat we're going to name it i like writing stories and songs i have a physco dog named lilly and some really good friends (lol brant and britt ) and uhhhhh i guess that's about it!
Old enough to know better (30).
From Houston (fattest city in America).
my friends call me "big snoop", and so y'all may do the same.
rock, both Christian and secular alike.
You can refer to me as "karova," "blah," "Bob," or whatever other name you like, I really don't care. But as u can see my user name is karova, so I'm sure if i just went by that (which isn't my actual name of course) no one would get oo confused.
I've played drums for 4 yrs, piano for 10, and am gonna be 16 in December!!!! Oops.....I mean 17. lol, don't even know my own age.
i'm kind of a goofball, but I DO know when to be serious.
But yea.... I love the Lord, always have, always will. God bless ya'all.
i like to play sports. basketball, football, and more!
i have a job at daycare playing with kids!
Last edited by welcome.to/bibleverses; 11-07-03 at 06:53 PM.
I'm male, age 22, and live on Mars.
I went to a private Christian school for every grade except for 5th and the first half of 6th.
My actual belief structure doesn't have a title, cuz I know only one other person that shares my exact beliefs, but for the sake of explanation, the title that it would most likely fall under if it had to do so would be Paganism.
I enjoy writing and have written quite a few poems.
hi i'm jenna. just wanted to say hey to everyone out there.
I'm Susan, and I'll be 51 this month--too old to be on here?
I'm married to Harry, also 51, we have 3 young adult children who are 22, 20, and 16 respectively, all of whom we've homeschooled all but one of their K-12 years.
I have lived in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Portugal, and now live in the Sunshine State where Gatormania is not a disease.
Apart from music, I like to study my Bible, read, write, herb garden, and daydream. Music-wise, I played 'cello from fifth grade through high school, took violin lessons, recently taught myself to play the recorder, and have been in a choir or singing group of some sort singing harmony since I was in fifth grade. Presently I have the privilege of being in our church's ladies praise and worship group.
Music to listen to? I enjoy some classical, some folk, but my favorite is CCM including Audio Adrenalin, Third Day, Newsboys, Supertones, Mercy Me, Hillsongs; also Ray Boltz. Just about any God-glorifying praise and worship works for me.
Im 17 years old currently in high school finishing up my grade 12. After that I'm going to bible college so I can pursue God's calling on my life as a worship leader. I also have my own Christian Band on the side, we go by the name Grounded. Enuff info??? hehe God Bless you all!
hey im danna! I got saved when I was 12, and I love volleyball, softball, and basketball!
Hi, I'm the big Lp. I've been the big LP since 1976 when I weighted 205 and was a running back for my highschool team.
I'm Jackie. I teach in a Christian school and lead music in my church. I just got here about 10 minutes ago, and came almost immediately to this forum. I love music of many kinds. I play guitar and cello, with a little of a few other things sprinkled in. I'm single, childless and quite content with my status as a "Protestant nun".
plans for me. Thats what the band, it's music,it's ministry are all about.
the man in the mirror!
won't make evident to me!
Most of all I love God. And I like to write (stories mainly and some poetry), watch TV (Leave it to Beaver, ST:TNG, Seinfield), listen to music, read the Bible, go to Church, I'm making a game, playing video games, going on here and posting, and computers.

Home News & Analysis UK's Dover port chases private investment
UK's Dover port chases private investment
The largest publicly owned British port needs private investment to pay for a new terminal.
The UK's largest state owned port is looking for private investment to help fund expansion.
The Port of Dover plans to build a second ferry terminal on the Western Docks- a project which is expected to cost more than £400 million (€453 million; $589 million).
Project managers are looking at several funding options, including all debt financing and selling a stake in the port to private investors, according to the port's finance director Tim Waggott.
In a recent report for the government, accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers said part-private ownership could make the port more attractive commercially.
On Friday Dover announced pre-tax profits of £16.6 million for 2008, down 24 percent from £20.6 million the previous year after a fall in traffic volumes.


LISTEN: Mike Francesa, Daily News' O'Keeffe Go At It Over A-RodThis got angry. It got heated. It made for some very, very interesting radio. We don't even know where to begin with this one, folks. Words can't do the interview justice. It simply must be listened to.


Life (1995) is, to my mind, the best album the band released. Their debut, Emmerdale, was a little disjointed, not that that made it any less enjoyable. With Life there's more of a natural flow to the songs, not to mention the fact that almost every track could be single in its own right.
Once again Nina Persson's almost child like vocals are what makes the band so memorable. The album contains 11 tracks (45 min, 17 sec). To my mind this is the only The Cardigans album you really need. The rest are good, but this is by far the finest.

First adventure sports activity for customers by Tata Motors Full Throttle in Ludhiana
Showcases ruggedness and capability of Tata Motors Utility Vehicles
Tata Motors Full Throttle Trail, an extreme off-roading property for Tata Motors SUV owners, concluded successfully at Park Plaza Ludhiana. The half-day trail was flagged off at 10:00 AM from Park Plaza Ludhiana, with over 35 Tata Motors vehicles participating in the event.
Participation of vehicles from the Tata Motors stable included the Tata Safari, Tata Xenon XT, Tata Sumo Gold, Tata Sumo Grande and Tata Aria, in both 4×4 and 4×2 configurations. Each vehicle representing the capability of Tata Motors vehicles. Customers from in and around Ludhiana attended the trail, maneuvering challenging routes and the rugged terrain. The track had been prepared specially for this off roading activity.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Anand Totla, Regional Manager, PCBU North1, Tata Motors Ltd. said, "We are delighted with the enthusiasm and participation of Tata Motors customers from in and around Ludhiana, at this off-roading event. The activity not only demonstrated the capability of Tata Motors vehicles, but also enhanced the experience received by each one of our customers, with most of them going off-road in their vehicles, for the very first time. The track was customised with variations in terms of the surface, and also the experience and expectations levels of participants, ensuring they made the most out of their vehicles.
Mr. Totla further added, "Tata Motors through its motorsports division, Tata Motors Full Throttle, hopes to create and cultivate motorsports in India, by giving enthusiast a platform to experience the true capabilities of their vehicles, to learn, discuss and experience the thrill of motorsports."
The trail comprised of various surfaces like slush beds, hills, bumpy courses, sand beds and many more. The terrain which was on the banks of Sutlej posed some exciting challenges for participants, who needed to complete the trail within a maximum stipulated time, to qualify as finishers.
A total of 21 trails have been planned across the country over the course of the year, with each course being planned to exhibit the thrill, ruggedness, toughness and handling of Tata Motors SUV's, in off-road conditions. Through these half-day off-roading activities, enthusiast also familiarise themselves with some serious off-road driving techniques, through a quick get away, in the proximity of their respective cities.
Tata Motors Full Throttle recently launched another property under the Full Throttle banner, called Tata Motors Full Throttle Experience. Full Throttle Experience is an off-roading expedition which will span over a number of days, with the first expedition being flagged off from New Delhi on June 22, 2012.
Tata Motors was the first manufacturer in the country to create a new SUV segment with the launch of Tata Sierra in 1991, followed by the launch of Tata Sumo in 1994. The Tata Sumo became the first passenger vehicle to cross 1 lakh units in 3 years. Tata Motors was also the pioneer in launching a true blooded SUV in India with the launch of the Tata Safari in 1998. Shift-on-the-fly (electronic) 4X4 was introduced for the first time by any automobile manufacturer on the Tata Safari in the country. The most feature packed, Tata Aria, was launched in 2010. Torque-on-Demand System, In-dash GPS-based Navigation System, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Hydroform chassis and six airbags are some of those features.
To take part in these adventurous off-roading activities, enthusiasts can mail Tata Motors at trails@tatamotorsfullthrottle.com or experiences@tatamotorsfullthrottle.com, or can visit us at http://www.tatamotorsfullthrottle.com/

It's not just the end of a business, it's the end of an era.
After 25 years in Parksville, Flix 'N' Pix in Parksville, the last video store in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area, is closing its doors.
Current owners Claudio and Jacquie Fantinato have been running the video store for the past 21 years. The Fantinatos announced in early November the business would close.
Jacquie said the couple moved back to the Island from the Lower Mainland in 1996.
"We saw that this video store was for sale and we just bought," said Jacquie, adding they hadn't planned to be in this business.
Out of their 21 years of running the business, Claudio said, 18 were great.
Claudio said it was earlier this year the couple really noticed a bit of a drop in business.
But both Claudio and Jacquie said it's been a fun 21 years.
For Jacquie, one of her fondest memories is seeing the customers grow up before her eyes.
"We've seen kids grow up here, and there are some that are coming in with their own kids," said Jacquie, adding that she remembers some parents bringing their children into the store in car seats, and now those same children have graduated.
And the video store, Jacquie said, has been a big part of growing up for some families.
"We've had a few people come in here and say, 'I'm looking for those old classic movies because I want to show them to my kids.' I think that's one of the sort of sad things about video stores closing is that parents aren't going to be able to do that. You're not going to be able to find them (the movies) that easily on the internet to show your kids the movies that you used to love," she said.
The cause of the downturn in video store business, Jaqcquie said is partly to do with the internet, Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming sites, but also PVRs.
"I always thought a few years back when the PVR (came about), when that sort of hit, I said to (Claudio), 'This is kind of the end of it. This PVR coming in, this is kind of where we see things start to taper off,'" said Jacquie, admitting they're guilty of using PVRs as well.
But for some people in the region, Claudio said, streaming isn't always an option.
"We have a lot of loyal customers who have supported us all the years we've been here. There are a lot of them coming in and saying, 'What am I going to do?' And surprisingly, they don't have cable or internet," he said.
Claudio said technology is affecting a lot of businesses.
Even as technology changed over the years, so did Flix 'N' Pix.
Claudio and Jacquie said the store was all VHS tapes when they took over the business. Claudio said their store was the first in the area to go to DVD discs and, later, Blu-ray.
Claudio said everything in the store is 30 per cent off this week and the sales will continue. Claudio said the lease is up at the end of December, so he and Jacquie are hoping to have everything sold off by Christmas, if possible.
Flix 'N' Pix Video (138B Middleton Ave., Parksville) is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.

LifeEdit
Early yearsEdit
Adrienne-Pierrette-Eugénie (Ghénia) Glaisette was born in 1855 in the village of Carouge near Geneva, Switzerland to Marc Glaisette and Marie-Louise Savuiz. She spoke several languages and traveled widely. As a young woman she seems to have spent much time in central Europe. Her portrait by Teodor Axentowicz was exhibited in the Salon in 1893, and published in La jeune Dame. She was mentioned in society newspapers. The Gentlewoman reports her presence at a matinee dance given the Baroness de Montebello, apparently her aunt. In the mid-1890s she published a series of children's stories set in Eastern Europe. She signed the stories and her first newspaper articles "Savioz".[a][2] The Parisian newspapers reported that she was present at the celebrations of the Cuban War of Independence (1895–98) organized by the Cuban colony of Paris.[2]
Sainte-Croix came from the haute société protestante (Protestant high society) and shared its philanthropic tradition. In the 1890s she began to participate in the Conference of Versailles, an annual meeting of Protestant women's charities.[3] Representatives of social reform groups fighting pornography, alcoholism and prostitution spoke at these conferences. It was through this that she became involved in the abolitionist campaign to end government-regulated prostitution.[1] Starting in the late 1890s she began to publish journalistic investigations into the plight of prostitutes and working women. Sainte-Croix wrote for La Fronde, which was founded late in 1897, as did Marguerite Durand, Séverine, Marie Bonnevial and Clémence Royer. She published a remarkable article in this paper on the conditions in the prison of Saint-Lazare, where prostitutes were held. She spoke on the question of female journalists at the 1899 congress of the International Council of Women (ICW) in London.[2]
Eugénie Glaisette married the civil engineer François Avril in a civil ceremony in May 1900 when she was aged 45. They lived at 1 avenue Malakoff (now avenue Raymond Poincaré) in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in an apartment overlooking the place du Trocadéro. The marriage did nothing to reduce her activism. No doubt it was due to her husband that she was able to hold several feminist meetings in the Civil Engineers premises at 19 rue Blanche.[2]
Feminist leaderEdit
Sainte-Croix headed the French branch of the International Abolitionist Federation (IAF) for many years from 1900, while also acting as secretary general of the National Council of French Women (Conseil National des Femmes Françaises: CNFF) from 1903 onward.[2] She founded the halfway house Œuvre Libératrice (Liberating Work) in 1901 to help young women leave prostitution after their release from prison.[1] The charity gave them education, job training and long term counselling.[4] In 1904 she spoke in Zurich and Geneva on the subject of trafficking in women. Between 1904 and 1908 she was a member of a government commission to investigate the activities of the vice squad.[2] She was the only woman to serve on this commission.[5]
From 1905 to 1907 Sainte-Croix was a member of the independent Coulon-Chavagnes commission that studied the marital laws in France, under which women were disadvantaged, with a view to overhauling the civil code. She was a founding member and member of the board of the League of Human Rights and the Citizen (Ligue des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen). Sainte-Croix published a stream of articles promoting the cause of women.[2] In 1907 she published a book entitled Le Féminisme in which she refuted the arguments of Catholics and nationalists that feminism was "un-French". She made the case that the movement had its roots in the fight for liberty of the French Revolution.[5]
During World War I (1914–18) Sainte-Croix supported the war effort by founding canteens to feed women working in the war industries. In 1917 she was appointed to the Committee on Women's Employment to advise the government on women workers. She founded and became chairperson of the women's section of the Musée social, and in 1918–19 went on a trip to the United States for the Musée to investigate part-time work for women in four American cities. During this trip she met President Woodrow Wilson and former President Theodore Roosevelt. After World War I (1914–18) she traveled in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary and Romania. In 1920 she became vice-president of the ICW and in 1922 she became president of the CNFF.[2]
Sainte-Croix attended and spoke at congresses in London, Berlin, Geneva, Rome, Kristiana (Oslo), Bucharest, Vienna, Spain and the USA.[6] In the 1920s and 1930s she was internationally recognized as the leading feminist in France.[4] In April 1922 she was appointed to the Standing Advisory Committee of the League of Nations on trafficking of women and children. She was also appointed to the League's commission for the protection of children.[2] From 1925 she was delegate to the League of Nations for the Joint Standing Committee of Women's International Organizations.[7] She was named chevalier and officier of the Legion of Honour, and received medals from the ministries of health and hygiene.[7] By the time the States General of Feminism was held in 1931 Avril de Sainte-Croix was 76 years old, and exhausted. She died after a short illness in March 1939 in Menton on the French Riviera. She was aged 84.[2]
OrganizerEdit
International Abolitionist FederationEdit
In 1897 Josephine Butler visited France, and a group led by Auguste de Morsier initiated re-foundation of a French branch of the International Abolitionist Federation (IAF) which campaigned for revocation of laws that regulated prostitution. The new organization was represented officially at the international abolitionist conference in London in 1898.[8] Sainte-Croix attended this conference, where she met Butler.[9] Between 1898 and 1907 the abolitionist movement in France revived, led first by Auguste de Morsier and then by Ghénia Avril de Sainte-Croix.[8]
Sainte-Croix and other feminists thought the regulation of prostitution was amoral in tolerating vice and enforcing a double standard of morality, and also unjust and ineffective.[10] She saw prostitutes as "female serfs".[11] She strongly advocated increasing women's wages so they would no longer be forced to sell their bodies, and creating a strict code of morality that would apply equally to men and women. In September 1899 she participated in an IAF conference in Geneva, and reported on the proceedings in La Fronde.[2] At the Congress on Women's Rights in 1900 she read one of the three opening reports, calling for abolition of legalized prostitution and of the double standard of morality. She became secretary-general of the French branch of the IAF in 1900, and remained active in the movement until the mid-1930s.[9]
National Council of French Women (CNFF)Edit
Etats généraux du féminisme 1929. Sainte-Croix is in the front row, center, looking towards the right.
In March 1900 Sainte-Croix organized a banquet at the Grand Hôtel de Paris in honor of the feminist scholar Clémence Royer, whom she greatly admired. In 1900 she presided over the "Work" section of the Congress of Female Works and Institutions, where she argued passionately for equality of male and female pay and for strong laws on child labor. From 1902 she was a strong advocate of women's suffrage in the National Council of French Women (CNFF). In 1903 Sainte-Croix was secretary general of the CNFF and also of the French branch of the IAF, which she ran from her home at 1 Avenue Malakoff.[2]
In 1919 Sainte-Croix and the CNFF engaged in a campaign to convince the Allied leaders at the Versailles Peace Conference to address women and their problems in the charter of the new League of Nations, with partial success. The CNFF also worked to convince the French senators to pass the bill for women's suffrage. Sainte-Croix organized the CNFF congress in Strasbourg in October 1919. In 1922 she succeeded Julie Siegfried as president of the CNFF, holding this position until 1932 when she was replaced by Marguerite Pichon-Landry. Sainte-Croix campaigned in 1927 to have women admitted to the police force.[2] She presided over the CNFF's États-Généraux du Féminisme[b] congresses in 1929, 1930 and 1931. These congresses focused in successive years on women's legal rights, economic standing and position in the colonies.[7]
International Council of Women (ICW)Edit
In 1899 Sainte-Croix assisted at a conference of the International Council of Women (ICW), which was headed by Lady Aberdeen. In 1904 she attended the ICW meetings in Berlin with Marguerite Durand and Sarah Monod, where she spoke of the support the CNFF was giving to working women.[2] That year she chaired the ICW committee of White Slave Traffic and Equal Moral Standard.[7][9] In 1906 she received Lady Aberdeen and the leaders of the ICW in Paris. Sainte-Croix attended the ICW congress in Rome in 1914. In 1920 she was elected vice president of the ICW at the congress in Kristiana, Norway. Sainte-Croix made a tour of Europe in 1924, then returned via Canada to the United States in 1925 for the sixth ICW conference in Washington, D.C.. In 1930 she attended the ICW congress in Vienna.[2]
Religion and politicsEdit
It is not clear whether Sainte-Croix was Protestant or simply associated with Protestants.[12] She was not a practicing Protestant, and described herself as a free thinker. She was anti-Catholic, but in favor of religious freedom. She has belonged to the International and mixed Masonic Order Le Droit Humain which included other feminists mentioned above[13].[2] She was a strong supporter of Alfred Dreyfus during the Dreyfus affair.[14]
Despite being an advocate of working women, Sainte-Croix was hostile to socialism or communism, unlike activists such as Louise Saumoneau and Louise Bodin. She thought that all women should show solidarity regardless of their class, and well-off women should assist the poorer women. She saw poverty as one of the main causes of prostitution, and thought women should be given enough pay to meet their needs, but was against legislation to protect workers. From 1900 she spoke in opposition to state intervention in women's work. After the Russian Revolution in 1917 she wrote several articles that criticized "collectivization" of women by the Bolsheviks.

The New York Times revealed the virtues of Snapchat as one of the safest platform to let your children use.100 million people use the app daily and the most of these people are teenagers and millennials. A staggering 52% of Irish teenagers use the app daily. In the US only 38% of teens use the app.As a parent, what do you need to know? The App has more positive features for young g people than alternatives like Facebook or Instagram, so get to know the benefits of Snapchat over other social media sites.
Firstly, Snapchat is considered more real. It is about capturing the moment. The app is based on quick rough and ready images or videos. It encourages you to react as events happen. Instagram, in comparison, is about having a carefully preened and curated life. Snapchat works on being real not filtered version of reality. For teens this creates a positive behaviour in not spending hours crafting the 'perfect' image.
Snaps are transient. They live for a short period of time and then are replaced by the next image. So a photos can't hang in a gallery for people to gawk at, make fun of or comment on. The shelf life of a snap expires quickly, 24 hours to be and so are easily forgotten. This work well for teens who might ruminate of a picture on social media and wonder what people think of it, and by proxy them.
The option to add text, free style with a pen or play with funny filters promotes a silliness that is great for reactivity, identity and playing with words. You can be funny on snap chat and practise this humour without as much judgment as other platforms. Twitter and Facebook deafening silence after a bad joke, meme or quip.
The New York times suggest that because friendship visibility is not a feature of Snapchat that is promotes healthier mental health. Snapchat doesn't have some of the features that cause insecurity – like open numerical count on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The app according to a study conducted by the University of Michigan leaves users with positive mood after using it as opposed to anxiety that is associated with other social media apps.
The app doesn't have like features like its counter parts. You look and move on. This is great for teens as it means they are not getting hung up on how many likes they are getting or not getting. There is no system for validation- you can't comment or share the snap. You did, people watch and life moves on. Clean and simple.

How To Fix Error 745 - An "Essential File Is Missing"
Error 745 is a problem with the "Dial-Up" connection settings that you have on your PC. The problem you're seeing will be caused by the settings that your PC will try and use for your connection will either be corrupted, or having some sort of issue with a file that's required to run. Despite this error continually causing problems on the likes of Windows 95 & 98, it's a continual problem which can affect the likes of XP & even Visa. If you're seeing Error 745 on your PC, you can fix the problems you're seeing with this tutorial.
Click the Windows Setup tab, click Communications, and then click Details.
Click to clear the Dial-Up Networking check box, click OK, and then click OK.
Click Start, click Shut Down, click Restart Your Computer, and then click Yes.
Look for the Rasapi32.dll file in the Windows\System folder. If it exists, rename the Rasapi32.dll file to Rasapi32.old. To rename a file, right-click it, click Rename, type the new file name, and then press ENTER.
A big cause of the 745 error is down to the "registry" of your PC becoming damaged & corrupted – leading your system to run much slower and with a lot of problems. This is basically a big database which stores all sorts of important files, settings & options for your computer, and is where Windows will keep a large number of important settings inside the registry to help it run… but it's often the case that this database will become unreadable, leading your system to run much slower and with a lot of errors. To fix this problem, you need to repair any of the problems that your system may have with this database, which can be done by downloading, installing and then using a registry cleaner application to scan through your system and fix the errors inside.

Rockets' James Harden sends NSFW warning to teams about his defense
By Bruno Manrique · 2 min read
Giannis Antetokounmpo made headlines after the All-Star Game once he claimed his steam strategically planned to go at Houston Rockets star and MVP runner-up James Harden on offense, which he said would give his team the best chance to score.
Harden has gone from a lackadaisical defender to one of the strongest post defenders at the guard position due to his sturdy build and fast hands. Teams have still targeted Harden now that he finds himself playing more at small forward in the Rockets' small-ball lineup that includes 6-foot-6 center PJ Tucker. But that isn't working:
"You can't try to play matchup basketball," a Western Conference head coach told ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "That's what they want. You have to beat them with [ball] movement."
Harden would even go as far as daring bigger opponents to test him defensively:
"Come try it," said Harden, "and the s**t won't work."
So what sparked such a change in the Rockets star? Going from a guaranteed blow-by to a clampdown force as an undersized defender:
"I'm a competitor. I'm a beast," said Harden. "Whatever teams' schemes are, we switch everything, and they've got to find a way to attack us. It's not going to be perfect. Some guys are going to score on me. That's a part of the game, but more times than not, we're going to get a stop and they'll shy away from it."
Very few teams have been able to dismantle the Rockets' small-ball lineup. The New York Knicks actually got the better of them as a result of a poor offensive night and an awful rebounding outing (outrebounded 65 to 34), but the Rockets were riding a six-game win streak before that, with Harden playing a major part at both ends of the floor.
Houston is 39-21 on the season.

Budding KBO ace diagnosed with forearm fracture
All News 18:15 September 04, 2020
SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- NC Dinos' ace Koo Chang-mo has been diagnosed with a slight fracture in his left forearm while rehabbing from inflammation in the same area, a major blow to the club's aspirations of winning its first Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) pennant.
NC manager Lee Dong-wook said Friday Koo will be re-evaluated after two weeks.
Koo, 23, has not pitched since July 26. The Dinos deactivated him the following day to give him a breather, and then they discovered inflammation in Koo's left forearm.
He recently began his throwing program and made 50 pitches in the bullpen last Sunday. The first medical test on Monday didn't reveal anything, but Lee said the second test on Thursday showed the fracture.
"He's about 70 to 80 percent recovered from the fracture," Lee told reporters before the Dinos faced the LG Twins at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. "Doctors said it's possible the fracture could have been missed because of the inflammation surrounding the area. Koo has stopped throwing for the moment."
Koo, in his first season as a full-time starter, had been a revelation in the first half of the season. He went 9-0 in 13 starts with a 1.55 ERA, with 99 strikeouts against 17 walks in 87 innings. He had not won more than 10 games in any of his four previous seasons, while bouncing between the rotation and the bullpen.
Koo's career high in innings pitched is 133 from 2018, a mark that he was certain to exceed this year if not for the injury.
The Dinos have been in first place every day since May 13, but they entered Friday nursing a half-game lead over the Kiwoom Heroes for the top spot.
They were 44-21-2 (wins-losses-ties) after Koo's last start on July 26. They have been 13-15-0 since.

WSU dropping in the preseason rankings
YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY.
By Mark Sandritter May 23, 2015, 5:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: WSU dropping in the preseason rankings
Every year, the Orlando Sentinel rankings the college football FBS programs from No. 1 to No. 120-whatever (128 this year). And every year the Orlando Sentinel tends to have WSU slightly lower than many of the other outlets. That is again the case this year, but in an even wider fashion.
While it's still early in preview season, it appears the Cougars may slot in that mid-60s range. That is where the early S&P+ projections have WSU as Chet wrote about on Friday. The Orlando Sentinel does not have WSU in the 60s. The Orlando Sentinel doesn't have WSU in the 70s, or even the 80s. Instead, the Cougars check in at No. 97, barely breaking 100.
Here is a bit of the blurb from the Sentinel:
The pass defense was abysmal in 2014, with the Cougars allowing close to 300 yards per game through the air. Grinch's expertise is the secondary, so his guidance should help a young, talented group of players in 2015.
Like I said, WSU always seems to rank a few spots lower there compared to other places, but No. 97 is quite the drop. WSU was No. 81 last year, No. 80 in 2013 and No. 84 in 2012. I remember 2012. I don't want to experience what 13 spots worse than 2012 is like.
