I wonder what the Panthers will do with Hardy this coming week?

He should be playing. I was very disappointed in the team for making him inactive this weekend.

Im perfectly fine witj him not playing. Its a distraction at this point.

Addison showing out Sunday helps.

Hes only good for third down usage though. Hardy is an every down defensive end. At 260 pounds Addison is pretty terrible when it comes to stopping the run. Hes a pretty good speed rusher though on third down. I wish he could keep that speed and add on 20 pounds of muscle.

Anyone do any programming on here? I've began to do some C# programming and I am pretty terrible at it.

never done c# but i didn't find c++ too difficult in class

Im doing an online course in it, which is a massive mistake. I only tend to do well in a classroom environment. Hate teaching myself.

I did C++ in undergrad and thought it was ok. Also programmed a bit in R when I was in grad school. Never used C# so I am not sure about it much. Have you ever done programming before?

Edit: looked it up and it is similar to C++ but looks a bit more advanced. Have you looked here for help?

Thanks for the link. Nah, I've never programmed before. Spent a few hours trying to do what seems like a simple program last night. I've been looking on this message board and may start posting here. http://www.dreamincode.net/

Looks like it might be helpful.

From my experience, the best way to begin a new programming language is to look at sample programs and make sense of them. Definitely helped me with C++.

Been meaning to learn SQL forever. Anybody here have experience with it?

As for websites to look at: stackoverflow has been amazing. Definitely the place to go if you want sample code to help you out.

As an instructor I am always looking for ways to help my on-line students. Trying to learn something from scratch on-line is hard. It is easier to learn the beginning stuff seated and them move to on-line when you have the fundamentals. That said there is not always an option for that. Start at the bottom and dissect some simple codes and then branch out. Breaking down sample code is a good way to learn how to advance your coding skills as Biz said. Also be sure to put in test codes so if your code does break down you will know where. Once you have it working you can remove the test codes and be done.

I wonder how much of his money he will get while on this list?

All of it. Contract is guaranteed.

Dang, I thought I heard them say on ESPN earlier there would be some kind of key negotiation about whether he went on the list.

There was he had to work with the team NFL and NFLPA to be out there. I am truly ashamed of my team for the first time in their existence.

You had to see it coming when Mr. Richardson had his emotional speech. We get Frank Alexander back soon at least.

Charlotte’s new United Soccer Leagues Pro franchise – the Independence – was officially introduced Wednesday in uptown Charlotte. In front of a crowd of about 250 supporters, many of whom wore black and white Independence scarves, team president Jim McPhilliamy made it official that the team would begin play in 2015 in Memorial Stadium.

Here’s a Q&A about the Independence:

Q. Where did the name come from? From focus groups, of course.

A. The Independence refers to the May 20, 1775, Mecklenburg of Declaration of Independence, which was the colonies’ first document calling for independence from England. A contest for a team logo and colors will be on the team’s website – http://www.charlotteindependence.com – beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Q. Will Memorial Stadium be ready for the team in 2015?

A. With the stadium field being enlarged for soccer (Major League Lacrosse’s Charlotte Hounds will also play there), there’s a chance it won’t be ready for the start of the season next spring. If not, the Independence might play at UNC Charlotte or at the Charlotte Soccer Academy’s new youth complex in south Charlotte, where the team will train.

Q. Where will the Independence get its players?

A. There will not be a USL Pro expansion draft, although the league is expanding by five teams next season. Independence general manager Tom Engstrom said he will pursue players whose pro contracts are expiring after this season as well as college players. Don’t rule out the possibility of some players from the Charlotte Eagles – the city’s former USL Pro team – playing for the Independence.

Q. What kind of relationship will the Independence have with Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids?

A. The Independence will be a farm team of sorts for the Rapids. Charlotte will usually have as many as five of Colorado’s top prospects. The Rapids also will have a large say in who the Independence’s coach will be. The Eagles, who are moving to the USL’s Premier Developmental League, will also have players from the Rapids system.

Q. How realistic are the Independence’s chances of moving up to MLS?

A. The league continues to expand, with USL Pro’s Orlando City FC making the move in 2015. Other mid-size markets, most notably Sacramento, Calif., are considered favorites to join MLS over the next few years. The Independence – with 13,800-seat Memorial Stadium potentially fully renovated and sitting in the shadows of uptown Charlotte – hopes it can create a pro soccer culture in a major-league market that will make MLS take notice.

Wow, the logos are all blue. As a Liverpool supporter I find this quite disturbing.

I may have to get into soccer big time now, no complaints with even more things to do around.
