Edward Snowden
Is Edward Snowden a hero or a villain? Probably some of both. Overall, I believe he is more courageous than villainous and that history will treat him well.
As a direct result of Snowdens statements, President Obama recently admitted publicly that the National Security Administration has invaded the privacy of thousands of law-abiding Americans. This follows the recently exposed improper/illegal activities of the IRS. Likely, we have much yet to learn about government excesses against its citizens.
Admittedly, the government walks a fine line when protecting us against terrorists while protecting our individual rights. So far, since 9/11, protection against terrorism has been fairly successful although, as we now know, not without adverse side effects. Part of the solution regarding the latter should be to create independent and effective government oversight.
The president recently announced he is working to solve the NSA problem. As part of this, I also would like to see him treat Snowden as a whistle-blower rather than a criminal and invite him to return to the U.S. without criminal charges. We need to learn all we can from him, rather than incarcerate him.

Regarding SNAP remedy:
Eliminating the beneficiaries, as Loren Petty suggested, is just plain wrong. I think those who can have a moral obligation to help those who cannot, though I prefer local, private, nonprofit charities for this task.
Reducing the SNAP program by $4 billion is a good start. In fact, we might save even more money if items such as candy, cake, cookies, pie, pastries, doughnuts, ice cream and soda (you know junk food) were banned from the program as well. These have little to no nutrition (the N in SNAP) and only add to the obesity/diabetes problem. Tobacco and alcohol are banned for health reasons; junk food poses a health risk. People buying junk food on the public dime, getting fat and diabetic, then going to the doctor on the public dime is a double whammy! Its the whipped topping on a big slice of irresponsible pie a la (com)mode. Ill skip dessert tonight, thanks.

Federal lands
The property clause of the Constitution gives authority to Congress to determine what is done with federally owned lands. Two hundred years of case law has resulted in the system of federal public lands that we know today.
A recent New York Times article that published in the Statesman, Your own private Idaho, indicates that the specific title of the public lands can have an influence on the number of tourists that are drawn to an area. The author points out that the Sawtooth NRA receives about 1.5 million visitors per year while some of the national parks receive 3 to 4 million visitors per year. The point made is that national parks receive far more visitors than NRAs. The lack of the title national park for the Sawtooth area represents a significant deficit in potential tourist dollars that the businesses in Stanley, Ketchum and Challis would have loved to capture.
Could it be that Idahos general anti-federal attitude is an impediment to economic development? The Sawtooth Mountains appear on our license plates, yet Idaho remains the only Western state without an iconic national park. If Congress grants the federal lands to Idaho (unlikely), it could result in a further loss of tourism dollars.

I am writing as a neighbor and an advocate for the environment. I oppose the lethal management of wolves and their delisting in the other 48 states. Methods such as fladry, lights, noise and outriders are effective means of control. Wolf hunting often is based on exaggerations. The IDFG reported wolves killed 92 out of 2.3 million cattle in Idaho in 2013. Wolves are not a threat! Elk are at record levels. Two recent scientific papers published by Oregon and Washington state scientists document the value of wolves to the ecosystem.
They prevent over-browsing, allowing trees and berry bushes to regenerate, feeding grizzlies, birds and small mammals. Their kills feed small mammals, birds and beetles. They contribute to carbon elimination due to regeneration of greenery and cool water for fish.
If Idahoans look at these facts, hopefully they can understand there is a reason for the term balance of nature and oppose the killing of this valuable predator. Thank you for providing a forum for facts.

By John Veasey
Times West Virginian
The place was Walnut, Calif., and the date was April 28, 1962.
That was when Dave Tork, a pole vaulter from Fairmont, established a new world pole vault record.
Pole vaulting has never been a major sport for many Marion County athletes, and for most of them, the high school track and field team was the last time they have taken out the old equipment and tried their luck with it.
Tork, however, has dedicated many years of his life to the sport, becoming the world champion in April 1962.
That was a period when pole vaulting was a hot topic in the United States and the record was broken a number of times during that time. And April 28 was Tork's time to get his name atop the record books — even if it didn't last more than a few weeks.
His record vault was good enough to earn Dave Tork a berth in the Marion County Sports Hall of Fame.
When a young Dave Tork was a sophomore at Fairmont Senior High School, his father, Patsy Tork, thought he needed to become more serious about his school work, so his parents arranged for him to spend that year at a prep school in Pennsylvania.
And that's where Tork learned about pole vaulting. One might say it changed his life.
That was also when he decided he would set his goals high, and that's when he made up his mind that some day in the future, he would become a world champion in the sport.
That was quite a lofty goal for a young lad just learning the sport.

What do you want from Godsmack's next album?
I'd like to hear some faster palm mutes, and longer instrumental breakdowns in some songs. Instrumental tracks are always a welcome addition in general, lol. Maybe shoot for a 15-track album this time around. A heavy (which is a Godsmack standard as we all know.) but also unmistakable "dark" tone to their sixth LP would be great as well, in my opinion (Tracks like Voodoo 1&2, Releasing the Demons, What If?, Forgive me, have this tone I'm referring to.). A few tracks with guitar solos NOT consisting of the "wah" effect would be nice as well. Just some suggestions. I'm sure Godsmack won't disappoint either way. What about you?

Storage units in and of themselves are pretty scary. They are dirty, dusty, drafty, and poorly lit. Plus you never know what kind of freak show the guy next door is storing. Frankly, I'm surprised more for films aren't set here. That's where Storage 24 comes in. When a couple breaks up, they take their mutual friends with them to clear out their shared storage unit. But then a creature starts killing them off, and suddenly a bad breakup doesn't look so bad.
FEARnet spoke with Noel Clarke, who wrote and stars in Storage 24. He shared with us his thoughts on CG, writing versus directing, and making fanboy heads across the globe implode.
You both wrote and starred in Storage 24. Where did the idea come from?
I've had the idea for awhile. About six or seven years ago, all these storage facilities began popping up. Having to go there once or twice with family and just looking around, I thought these kinds of places were creepy. There are no windows, they have the same corridors over and over - you could really get lost in there. My first thought was that it should be a serial killer. One day I just woke up and thought, "A serial killer would be ridiculous. But an alien...!" I am a sci-fi fan, so that's where it came from.
Did you write the role of Charlie for yourself?
No. I don't usually play the roles that are kind of the "weaker" guy. Most of the roles I play are stronger guys, more evil guys, more vicious guys. So it was really interesting, with this director's pass on the script, to see what he wanted me to do. I think I [initially] wrote Charlie a lot cooler than that. Johannes [Roberts, the director] was like, "No, I want you to play Charlie, but I want you to make Charlie a whiny, moaning guy who goes on a journey to become a different guy."
The alien / monster / creature - I'm not sure what you want to call it - for most of the scenes, that was a guy in a suit, right?
Was that always the plan?
It wasn't. I think, initially, the plan was to do a full CG creature. We sat down and thought that we wouldn't really get the emotion or performance or even certain quirky moments if we used a full CG creature. We decided a guy in a suit who could then have CG mapped on top would work a lot better for the actors, for the practicality, the scenery - knocking over stuff - so that's what we went for. It's arguable about which is cheaper, but I think [the guy in a suit] was a much better choice. Much, much better.
You've worked with CG creatures in the past. Do you prefer working with a practical creature?
I think working with a practical creature is better. Most of mine - even the Doctor Who stuff was pretty much 50/50 - but on those occasions where it was full CG, I found it was better to have something in front of me so I wasn't doing "crazy eyes" at a tennis ball. But either way, I don't mind.
You seem to largely focus on writing and acting, but you have directed in the past. Are you planning on doing any more?
Yeah, I'm planning to get back into that. The plan is to direct one that I am in, then after that, direct one that I don't appear in at all.
Is there any one aspect - writing, directing, acting - that you prefer?
Probably the directing and acting. The writing I do love, and I do it, but it's kind of a means to an end. I have an idea and I get it on paper instead of waiting for someone else to do it. But with acting, you are on set, you are doing it, you are pretending to be other people, hopefully you are doing a good job at it - that's what I really enjoy. When you are directing you are creating another world. That's all fun when you are writing, but for writing, I have to write like 20 things for two to get made, so that is really time-consuming and draining.
Is it difficult to direct something you are starring in?
It has its challenges, which is why you need to have a good team around you. I like what Ben Affleck does: he directs one movie that he's in, then he does one that he's not in. Ideally, that's what I'd like to do, if I'm allowed. Do one that I'm in and then do what that I'm not in at all. Sit back, grow a big beard, show up in my pajamas with a big pipe and say, "Yeah, I'm directing" and not worry about being on screen.
You had mentioned that you are a fan of sci-fi and genre. What is the appeal?
I don't know, it's just something I've always been interested in, since I was young. I really like to believe that there is something else out there. The arrogance of humanity to believe that we are the only [living] things in the universe befuddles me. So I like to believe there is more out there. I've always believed that, since I was a little kid. That is what draws me in. Then watching Star Trek and Captain Picard having his little touch screen device, and how we have iPads now... know what I mean? I watched Next Generation and Voyager and Doctor Who... it's this guy in a little box! I've just always been drawn to it. This is my third or fourth sci-fi script, but the only one that has been made.
You grew up watching Star Trek and Dr. Who, and now you are in Star Trek and Dr. Who. When you found out, were you just like a little kid, freaking out?
It's really crazy. It's like dreams come true. And for the record, to put it out there in the ether, the other thing I watched religiously was Star Wars so print that, and hopefully someone will see that and I will wield a light saber at some point. I feel like I would be the messiah of sci-fi people if I was in Trek, Wars and Doctor Who. A trifecta of madness.
I think some of the geek boys' out there, their heads would implode.
I would implode! I'd be like, "Oh my god, that guy is in those three things - wait, that is me! Ack!" I'd be so confused.
Especially on your first day on set, do you get kind of starstruck and fanboy-ish, or are you able to keep your cool?
I'm too old for that. No matter how big or small or cool something is, I keep my cool and do my job and do it to the best of my ability. I don't really get overly excited about anything anymore. I love it so much, but I don't get starstruck or fanboy by anyone or anything anymore.
Without giving anything away, Storage 24 is very much set up for a sequel. Are you planning that?
No. I mean, I have the story in my head, but no, not at all. I love endings like that. We actually wanted a SWAT team to come in, but to have 20 guys in SWAT outfits come in would have cost more than the ending we ended up having. The whole point of this movie, because it was so low-budget, was to prove you could do it on a low-budget. They gave me the price for the SWAT ending, and then I suggested the other ending, and they said, "We can do that for this price." So we went with that! That's how we got the end shot - which I love.
So originally the ending was completely different?
Yeah. The same thing happens, but then as we get out of the [storage] building, SWAT is running towards us, but it was just too expensive. What we did have ended up being a much cooler shot.
And where the film ended, that was unintentional?
Well it kind of was what we intended, but we didn't think we could afford that big shot. What we [planned] was we would have SWAT putting [the monster] in the truck, and you would see like three other containers just like it, so you knew there was more. But then it was cheaper to do the VFX shot we did, which I love even more.

This is my first 'real' vise and it is definitely a keeper! The quick release is excellent. My only 'minor' complaint would be that the threaded holes in the jaws for attaching protection surfaces are neither aligned side-to-side nor front to back.

Editor's note: The following is a news release from the Lake Washington School District.
More Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students than ever scored high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark for all four subjects—English, math, reading and science. While nationally only 25 percent of students met this standard and 38 percent met it statewide, 57 percent of the students inLWSD who took the ACT qualified. That is up from 55 percent last year and continues a rising trend over the last five years, from 50 percent of students in 2008.
This achievement was accomplished despite slightly lower average scores in three of the four subject categories. In 2011, the average ACT scores for students from Lake Washington School District rose in every category, with gains of three or four tenths of a percent in three of four categories and the composite score. In 2012, scores dipped slightly in the same categories but all averages remained higher than the 2010 scores. The district's average composite score fell by one tenth from 2011 to 2012, reaching 25.5, still higher than 25.3 average in 2010. State composite scores rose from 22.8 in 2011 to 22.9 in 2012. The national average remained at 21.1.
Average scores for Lake Washington students rose in science, from 24.7 in 2011 to 24.8 in 2012. Washington state scores also rose, from 22.3 to 22.4 while national score averages stayed flat at 20.9.
LWSD average scores fell by one tenth each in reading and math in 2012. Math scores averaged 25.5, higher than the 25.2 average in 2010. The state average in 2012 was 23.1 and the national average in math was 21.1. LWSD reading scores averaged 25.9, higher than the 25.6 average for 2010. Reading scores in the state in 2012 averaged 23.3 and national scores averaged 21.3.
LWSD English scores fell to 25.3 in 2012 from 25.6 in 2011 but remained higher than the 2010 average of 25.2. State level English scores remained flat at 22.3 while national English scores fell from 20.6 to 20.5.
Lake Washington students who take the ACT continue to be more likely to meet college readiness standards than other students in Washington state or in the U.S. Ninety-one percent of LWSD students taking the ACT met the college readiness benchmark score in English, compared to 76 percent statewide and 67 percent nationwide. In math, 81 percent of district students met the readiness benchmark, while at the state level it was 62 percent and 46 percent nationally. For reading, 82 percent of district students met the benchmark compared to 66 percent statewide and 52 percent nationally. In science, 61 percent of LWSD students met the readiness benchmark while 43 percent statewide and 31 percent nationally met that standard.
The number of students in LWSD who took the ACT test rose from 421 in 2011 to 485 in 2012.
For more information on the ACT test itself and on national results, go to the ACT website.

We focus too much on offense this, offense that. As Paul's scoring offense comes back, we'll be fine. Blake's averaged 28 on 60 TS% over his last 30 games, that's fine, we don't need to overly force feed him the ball, it will stagnate the offense more.
The team needs to defend better still. We keep letting Memphis play to their average or better on offense (I don't mean PPG), I mean efficiency against us. In their last 6 games, they only two teams they were more efficient than their average against were us and the Knicks, and the Knicks are atrocious.
Offense was bad yesterday, not denying that, it looked like a dysfunctional VDN offense, but if we shoot our regular season percentage, were within 2 points as the game is closing, or with a bit of a lead down the stretch.
People are looking at Paul, but he created a lot of easy opportunities, he only committed 1 turnover and he got to the line 11 times and made 9. Paul from that stand point had the best offensive game of everyone on the team, including Blake. On the bright side, look at the rebounding in this game.
Sure the loss was helped by an offensive rebound, but we only gave up 6 while we grabbed 13. Being aggressive to draw 43 FT's is in itself a good thing. I believe this team leads the league or is close in FTA. Last playoffs we paraded Memphis to the Ft line which was ultimately the difference in the series because we were trying to match FT shooting by them with one guy scoring, not going to work.
Great post, Agent0! I, for one, am happy with the team's effort in the face of yet another injury striken year. I don't think anyone expected us to do so well when Paul went down and a few tough losses to top teams doesn't change that. We have yet to see the lineup Doc planned but if we are lucky it will all come together by the playoffs. Reddick, in particular, is so important to the team because he shifts all of the rotations and effectively gives us a bench.
As for the negative nancies like the OP... I have a theory. As I said, on this other forum we had a guy named BlueJays that was a complete buzzkill and drove away everyone with his negative spamming. Someone told me the knew him in real life and he was gambling on every game and then all of the nasty venting made more sense.. The Clipps were costing him money! So the trolling may really just be a cry for help.
Offense was bad yesterday, not denying that, it looked like a dysfunctional VDN offense, but if we shoot our regular season percentage, were within 2 points as the game is closing, or with a bit of a lead down the stretch.
There is a reason why we couldn't shoot our regular season percentage...Grizzlies dictated our offense. Allen alone changed the complexion of the game the moment he entered. Mind you, it was his first game back after missing 21 games. Part of our regular season % will continue to change with games like these. That's where my fear comes from.
Paul also passed up a lot of open looks, stopped the offensive flow numerous times hesitating, and also had a few passes knocked out of bounds. While CP3 had 14 assists, some of them were just side to side passes that BG hit. I disagree that Cp3 had a better offensive game. He was 4-13/ 9-11. Great that he hit most of his FT's but 4-13 is horrible when you include all those easy in the paint shots he missed. Give me 10-21/8-14 any day.
Was anyone else pissed when Tony Allen came in for the first time and the arena was electric and we had the ball with 2.1 seconds and Collison had a chance to silence the crowd, but instead couldn't get a shot off?
It could've been a complete game changer if you ask me even though the chances of him hitting the shot were low, but the chances of him hitting the shot when he doesn't take it are even lower.
No, no, I meant if we shoot our regular season FT percentage, we were 10% under that. Even DJ at 1/5 usually would make 2/5. If we shoot our regular season field percentages we win the game easily, so no, I'm not talking about that. I don't expect to shoot the same against the Grizzlies who when healthy play as an elite defense as we would against the average team.
I don't think Paul would have made those open looks if he took them based on how his shot is going, so despite passing on the looks, as long as it didn't result in turnovers, it's okay in the end. You always have the weak assists as a PG, but he created quality looks, that obviously benefits the offense. He didn't have a terrible offensive game. He had a poor scoring game and terrible shooting game, but not a terrible offensive game.
Limiting turnovers and creating easy opportunities helps the offense. Blake did very well, but 10/21 is well under Blake's normal field shooting, but he also did force his way to the line like Paul, and if he made them, it would be different. Blake also attacked a bit differently,meh actually had a lot of touches this game, but he didn't see the angles based on Memphis' defensive positioning to attack at times.
Mainly what I'm getting at is that the play of Paul and Griffin offensively isn't what lost the game. Poor FT shooting, entry pass turnovers (we had about 3 maybe?), mediocre defense were things that could be remedied and won the game. Even if we only scored 3 points on those 3 extra possessions we lost because of lack of ability to make an entry pass, that's 3 more points, it changes whether you're playing from behind or ahead, etc.
We can't be a team that looks to only win if the offense is clicking, and can't expect the offense to always be clicking.
DJ has to grab those key rebounds you can have 20 rebs in a game but the last one in a huge game counts the most. Team still has a lot of learning to do and time is running out we need to defend and rebound better as a team. We need Paul to find his prime form again and to readjust the units.
I don't consider a team that's not at full strength to be choking after losses like last night. I think the biggest problem we are facing is not the bench or the absence of JJ its the the fact that since they have been together there have really only been a couple of times where BG and CP have played like superstars at the same time. Its been almost two seasons of each of them taking turns being dominate but for us to get to where we want the team to be. They both must step up and dominate together more often and especially against the top teams. When I think back over the past 15 years I can't think of many pairing of superstars that have alternated this much.
Pippen,and Jordan
Duncan and Robinson
Shaq and Kobe
Nash and Amare
the Boston Big three
The heat big three
Just ask yourself how many times this year have you watched Blake and CP and thought , OH WOW they both are playing the best ball they can play ". I just don't believe that if Blake continues his play of late and that CP bring his superstar game that we would be losing games like last night.
When I watched OKC vs the heat the other night Lebron and Wade were locked in and Durant was not and Westbrook was returning from injury and it showed. The Thunder had no chance without Durant being locked in and Westbrook. We have to have the same thing from our superstars to be able to win games against other teams superstars.
Pippen had to take a backseat to Jordan
Robinson was at the tail end of career
Shaq was the dominant player and it was Kobe taking the backseat until roles were reversed.
Nash was the star of the team, Amar'e was his PnR sidekick
The Boston three all had to give up part of their game to succeed. Doc made mention of this when he came here. In fact, he told our players the same thing if they wanted this to work
Wade had to take a backseat to LBJ and made it clear in a ESPN interview. They couldn't win a chip until Wade took a step back (second year). Lets not also forget that Bosh had been a afterthought until Wade started breaking down.
In other words, in each example, there were players that had to take a step back ( reluctantly or otherwise) in order for the team to succeed.
Fair enough. Just wasn't clear as to what you meant.
Pippen didn't take a backseat to Jordan after Jordan returned from retirement. Jordan would get his points but Pippen would have triple double as well.
I'm not talking about someone sacrificing shots. I'm talking about these players ability to play at the highest level for extended periods of times regardless of who got the most shots
I think back seat sounds like an inferior role, but depending on play style, etc, players can just compliment each other. People for some reason are always trying to set up the whole Batman / Robin thing, maybe it is a Skip Bayless imitation thing, but who cares. For example the Nash and Amare example, if anyone took a back seat it was Marion to both of them. He wasn't a shot creator and he wasn't the offensive force that Amare was, so he couldn't get any of those roles, he was the complimentary do it all guy. Amare and Nash were both maximized when together. Nash did the playmaking while Amare got the bulk of the shots and was the leading scorer.
That's the ideal place to get to. For example I wouldn't say anyone takes a backseat between Westbrook and Durant, they have to share certain a roles like playmaking when they are both playing, but that's how it works. Roles change a little without Westbrook, but that's expected. Pippen and Jordan complimented each other very well based on how that offense was run.
I think we have a similar situation because it is a PG/PF combo. Paul and Blake can and do compliment each other quite well, and we've seen it. Blake's improved shooting will also help that.
Are we now parsing words for the sake of argument? Really? If Wade has said he had to dial back his game and allow LeBron to flourish for the betterment of the team....How would you characterize that without sounding "inferior"? How about Robinson saying it was now Duncan's team? How about Pippen and some players saying he could have been more of a force if not for Jordan?
CP and Blake are very passive players. so when one is hot the other always wants to give them the ball. I believe Doc can get it out of them
My first line I said "depending on the playing style" (of the players), and etc, as in other factors such as strengths and weakness, it might not be a backseat situation.
Actually I agree about Wade and Lebron, they aren't specifically complimentary players, they have the same play style and operating areas, and it was an adjustment. Their first season they would basically take turns initiating and didn't really work together. They are better now. On the other hand, if you had a team of Lebron and Bosh plus complimentary payers to them with no Wade, then Bosh is a second option, probably giving you about 22-24 PPG and 8-9 RPG and he's more or as efficient as a scorer as his best Raptor days, while Lebron is your primary facilitator and first option, still putting up big numbers. They are both maximized, and that's the same if it is Wade and Bosh with no Lebron.
Similar to pairing Kobe and Gasol for example. One's production doesn't really impinge on the other one, that was one I thought would be great from the get go based on Gasol's style of play and skill set. So I'm just saying that it depends on the pairings and bit on the positions too. Some guys have to take a backseat, some other pairings, both are being maximized because they are complimentary. It's usually the third guy or the Barnes and Dudley's who loose possessions to accommodate for your best guys.
Pippen and Jordan was fine because of roles in the triangle. Jordan played the post role and Pippen more of the primary facilitator, so they didn't really step on each other's toes and limit each other because of that. Numbers wise, Pippen wasn't really different with or without Jordan. His best scoring rate was in 93-94 with Jordan and he had highe assist rates in multiple seasons with Jordan than he did in 94-95 and 95-96.
He was for the most part the same player in terms of game and actual production whether Jordan was there or not. You can find pairings where it just works because their games compliment as opposed to conflicting each other. Lebron and Wade are a good example of the opposite, as well as something like Howard and Gasol, etc.
Paul and Blake because they have different operating areas on the court and because the productivity of one generally is positive to the productivity of another don't or at least ideally shouldn't have this issue. We talked about how Paul used to get Blake less fast break opportunities, but Paul made the ones he did get more efficient and also vastly improved Blake's half court effiiciecu because even one more high percentage shot each game than before is a boost that it balanced out. Of course the ideal is both half court and maximizing Blake's transition opportunities and even without Paul we've seen that from Blake this season, which is good. It wasn't perfectly seamless, but they don't have conflicting talents.
We saw that together dominating for 10-15 games right before Paul got injured, but no one else on the team was producing at that time (j.j was out), so while the team still won like 67% of their games, they could have won even more if there was some more complimentary player help.
Looks like the OP doesn't know what he's talking about. Either that or his trolling backfired. LOL @him.
Funny thing is, as big as this game was, it was a "schedule loss". Nobody would (or should) have blamed us for losing. It's the "small" games we need to take care of down the stretch and we'll be fine.
I think the Thunder choke in big games. Choked in the Finals, Durant choked today with 2 missed FTs. The Thing is the Clips played Friday and the Thunder played Thursday. 2 days rest without travel vs 1 day of rest with travel. Clips could have easily lost this game , but they grinded it out. Should have beat Memphis Friday , but those games happen
A team has a lot to prove we need to increase the defensive effort against great teams.
The most elegant form of basketball is team play. The Pistons, Spurs and old Celtics were teams. There was no "Big anything" Yes there were stars but this was not the focus. To the Great Unwashed the Spurs are boring but they are art because they are a team.
Mr. Russell in his reply to LeBron's Foot Up a*s omission replied that teams win rings. "Great teams make great players not the other way around" Mr Russell. Bill would have made LeBron think once, twice, thrice and quatrice. Give him the two inches extra height from generational change. You have a 6'11" monster.
I would just as soon see JJ kill off screens or Dudley light it up from the corner as BG or DJ dunk. 2 pts is 2 pts. Or Doc design a game winning out of bounds play
Dudley as was expected
This is a team. Who gives a rats's rump about Big Threes? On any given day any of them can light you up as it should be
I hear you bro, but that Model hasn't worked since the Showtime Lakers got
on the scene.
Yet in Still The Pistons had 4 All-Stars on their team. Spurs V1 and 2 had 3 both times, and the Celtics had their fare share of All-Stars, just because they're not given the moniker doesn't mean they aren't it, but your Half right. They were great "Teams".
I hate to say it, but it seems JQuick is one of the "new" clipper fans. His posts the last week have been entertaining to say the least
Entertaining like a rash.
Sure didn't choke in today's game versus OKC.
That's not fair... even "a rash" Markazi has been fairer (and more entertaining) about our team than JQuick32 lately.
Haha very true cleepers. I guess well have to wait until we lose another game to hear from our most optimistic fan. He seems to have disappeared with the win over OKC... Weird
Despite being 5-5 in the last 10, we are # 1 in Hollinger's rankings...http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/powerrankings
I know it does not mean anything, but interesting none the less.
There was a possible discussion that could have come out of this, despite JQuick's borderline trolling. The team had not yet had success on the road against an elite level team. Now they have, that's a good confidence builder.
We could have had a nice conversation about why the team had struggled against those teams, what could be done to remedy, etc, but instead we talked about choking. Ah well...
This team is obviously still flawed but once CP gets back to being CP then I'm pretty confident about going up against any of the top teams in this league. We still have to get JJ back healthy though with no one else going down to really make some noise in the west.
I loved how we did the Opposite of Choking yesterday, they made so many crowd elating runs but we weren't phased we Didn't Panic, this along with the signing of Big Baby is getting me really excited about the rest of our games, still very lil production from the bench though, only Collison was really helpful, LOVED Bullock's hustle in tipping some offensive rebounds in the 3rd but we need more. Let's hope Davis will give it to us.
I think Bullock just needs consistent minutes. Once he gets that then I think you will see his shooting stroke get going. To be honest I would mind seeing him head to the dleague for a few games to shake off some of the rust and see the ball go into the hoop.
This rockets game is huge. Gotta win it for bragging rights and a variety of other reasons. It's annoying rockets have achieved squat like is but are seen as legit already.
We already ran them out of the gym twice this season. I see another win on Wednesday night
Clipper Fan since 1992.
Jquick is a new Clipper fan who feels entitled.
Let's enjoy the journey everyone.
I'm loving this season. Every game, every play.
Welcome GLEN DAVIS!
Next up GRANGER!

An accused obscenity shouting man who sang "I ain't going back to jail," found himself behind bars after being arrested by Port St. Lucie police.
Police encountered Kirk John Tinney, 35, around 10:45 p.m. November 2 after going to the 2000 block of Southeast Avon Park Drive in Port St. Lucie for a peeping tom report.
Tinney was in the middle of the street yelling, "(Sexual intercourse) the police," and "(Sexual intercourse) those crackers," along with a racial slur and "many other offensive words," a recently released arrest affidavit states.
Police watched Tinney walk up to a vehicle's passenger side and fall off a curb. He looked back at the officers, slurring, "(Sexual intercourse) those crackers."
"The defendant was so loud that the neighbors lights came on in their homes," the affidavit states.
The booze smelling Tinney was told to go inside. There, he opened the windows and put on music, playing and singing, "I ain't going back to jail."

Member Review
This movie was much better than I expected. It wasn't really that scary--but I laughed out loud quite a few times. And half of the CW is in it--Stefan from Vampire Diaries, Clayton and Nanny Carrie from One Tree Hill, Blair from Gossip Girl--even Richard Alpert from LOST and Penny from BIG BANG THEORY. I actually liked it a lot.

pom pom quarterly
Have you heard of Pom Pom Quarterly? It's brand new on the knitting scene, a sassy import from the UK. Printed at a smaller than usual scale on gorgeous matte paper, it is filled with charming hand drawn illustrations and tasteful touches like a list of what current contributors are listening to while they create. The patterns are fresh and adorable, and they have just enough knitterly detail to broadcast your skills to the world without slipping into fiber fashion victim territory.
I was very happy to contribute an article to their most recent issue, available here. You'll have to get your hands on the issue to see what I have to say about shopping for leather and closures in unusual locales, but I thought I'd share some of the photos I submitted here. I'm particularly enamoured with a swing clasp that I found at my local leather good supply, MacPherson's here in Seattle. I used it to close the Sweet & Tough Ducan Scarf shown above (download the free pattern here). The heavy antiqued brass was the perfect way to offset the frothy Schulana Ducan.

Leather lacing used to embellish a men's hat 6. Gilded skin from an ostrich shin 7. Ragga Eirkisdottir using an Icelandic sheepskin to stay warm [photo by Jared Flood] 8. Scrap bin at MacPhearson's, the perfect place to find elbow patches and trims.

The Chronicle
Pella — Just like humans, pets can get diseases that wear their systems down. It's not uncommon for pets to be affected by arthritis, cancer, or diabetis. Depending on severity of the case, there may come a time when a pet owner faces the decision of whether or not to euthanize a pet.
Choosing to euthanize a pet can be sobering. Most pets are valued members of their families and the idea of living without the companion that has shared the ups and downs of life can be heart-wrenching. However, while some animals die peacefully on their own, many animals have strong wills to stick around with their pet parents and may live on despite a poor quality of life. It's in their nature to mask pain and illness, so it may be difficult to determine the extent of illness or failing.
While owners cannot control all of the factors, the one thing you can do is alleviate pain and suffering to a companion animal. In many cases, the decision to euthanize a pet is the most humane option available. So how do you determine if it is time? There are certain questions to ask that may help the decision:
Answering these questions might help you make the right decision based on the health of your pet. If you are still having difficulty determining if it's the time to say goodbye, talk with your veterinarian. He or she is in the business of saving pet lives and will not encourage euthanasia if it is not the right time. Most people and vets agree that it is better to euthanize a pet earlier than later so that he or she will not suffer unnecessarily.
Some prefer to make a list of what their pet enjoys, i.e. chasing a ball, being petted, eating, going for rides. Set a minimum that must be reached for quality of life. If the pet falls below this minimum, then euthanasia should be considered. Couples who have a pet may disagree on the time to euthanize. But ultimately the needs of the pet should be put before personal feelings.
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy for anyone. But euthanizing an animal when his or her quality of life has diminished vastly is often best for the animal.

I paid a visit to the Harrison shelter yesterday and got some photos of their new dogs and cats. The Westchester Humane Society (formerly the Westchester Shore Humane Society) was recently taken over by a group of volunteers who are now the new Board of Directors for the shelter and they have done an amazing job renovating and turning the once neglected, mismanaged and filthy facility into a model animal shelter!
So many volunteers continue to give their time, energy and funds to making this shelter the best it can be - from walking dogs, paying out of pocket to bring sick pets to the vet, cleaning out the kennels and building fantastic outdoor play yards - such a wonderful turn of events!
Please visit www.westchesterhumanesociety.org or call the shelter at 914-835-3332 to find out what you can do to help- they always need volunteers and donations (monetary, pet food, cleaning supplies, etc.). And if you are looking for a new cat or dog to join your family please consider adopting- all the area shelters are over flowing with wonderful, deserving cats and dogs who would love you forever!
Attached are just a few photos of pets I met yesterday at the shelter.

A little rain wasn't going to keep die-hard UK fans away Wednesday as the Cats left campus to head to New Orleans and the Final Four. A group of fans came out for one last goodbye to the team.
As players loaded onto the bus, that took them to Blue Grass Airport for the flight to New Orleans, they signed a few autographs and posed for photos. The crowd didn't get too out of control, wanting to make sure players stay in the zone.
The cats will practice in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Friday afternoon. The face UofL Saturday in the Final Four. That game is set to tip-off Saturday at 6:09pm. You'll see the game here on WKYT.

---- — WINDSOR HEIGHTS - Gwen Wonderlich Schiller, 88, of Windsor Heights, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 10th at the Kavanagh House on 56th in Des Moines, surrounded by her family.
Born on a farm near Ollie on November 10, 1924, Gwen was the only child of the late Glen and Nora Wonderlich. She graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College with an economics degree in 1946 and worked at Drake University in the Graduate Office until she retired in 1990.
Once retired from Drake University, she had the wonderful experience working for a number of years as a Standardized Patient at Des Moines University starting in 1996 where she learned case studies to simulate patients with physical conditions to provide medical students a realistic setting to learn and practice their clinical reasoning and examination skills.
Gwen had a great passion for life and was an inspiration to everyone who knew her! Her kindness, generosity, sense of humor and style as well as her willingness to make time for everyone, was valued by her family and many friends.
Up until a few years ago, Gwen swam daily at the Walnut Creek YMCA and was an outstanding seamstress creating great Halloween costumes for her grandchildren and Christmas tree skirts that were a work of art! She was an avid reader and Chicago Cubs Fan, loved to play Scrabble, garden and completed the daily crossword puzzle without fail.
Gwen's memory will be cherished by her husband of 66 years, Bob; daughter, Joy (Frank Vivone) Schiller from Polk City, IA; son, Bill (Liz) Schiller and their children, Charlie (Michelle) Schiller and Max Schiller, from Ottumwa, IA; son, Jim (Anne) Schiller and their children Sam and Hailey Schiller from Happy Valley, Oregon; and son, Jeff (Vickie) Schiller from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
She was preceded in death by her grandson, Cpl Jonathan E. "Jon" Schiller and her parents, Glen and Nora Wonderlich. A special thanks to the doctors, nurses & other health care providers at WesleyLife, Iowa Methodist Medical Center and Kavanagh House on 56th for the compassionate care they provided to Gwen.
Her body has been cremated.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 13, 2013 Reece Funeral Home with Pastor David Peterson officiating. Inurnment will be in Silent City Cemetery in Monroe at a later date.
Immediately following the memorial service, a reception will be held at the home of Bill and Liz Schiller located at 19 Birchwood Drive; Ottumwa, IA.

Elburn police responded to a rollover accident along Route 38 at 4:36 p.m. Oct. 31 to find two people running away from the accident into a cornfield. Elburn police requested a K-9 unit, and St. Charles police assisted but were unable to locate any suspects. St. Charles police then went to the 1600 block of Covington Court in St. Charles, where they met with the owner of the wrecked car, who had just returned home from work about 7:05 p.m.
The owner, a 44-year-old resident, told police the vehicle, a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am, had been left unlocked with the keys under the driver's seat in a parking lot on Wessel Court earlier in the day. The owner told police he did not know of anyone besides his wife who would have known the vehicle was unlocked with the keys inside.
Beer Before Breakfast?
Glen Ellyn police said three underage women were arrested at 6:18 a.m. Nov. 2 in the 300 block of Alder Lane. Joannie Y. Lopez, 19, of the 30W100 block of Maplewood Court in Warrenville, Erika M.

A bicycle ridden by Nicholas Limonez, 23, of Geneva collided with a Toyota Avalon driven by Kelly White, 45, of St. Charles around 6:05 p.m. Nov. 2 at the intersection of North Sixth Street and Peyton Street.
According to reports, Limonez was pedaling south on Sixth Street when his bicycle hit the Avalon as it was turning west onto Peyton Street. Damage to the Avalon was estimated at more than $1,500.

The Thanksgiving weekend brings out a variety of shoppers, and we asked a sampling of those who were hitting the stores Thursday night and Friday morning how they would describe their style.
Innocent Bystander
Name: Corey Hawkins
Age: 37
City: Wichita
"I'm here for my wife," said Hawkins, who has shopped on the Friday after Thanksgiving for nine years. "If my wife doesn't get the majority of her shopping done tonight, I hear about it for the next four weeks. As a result, I feel that it's better to spend 12 hours getting brownie points and being with her instead of four weeks of not having any (gifts)."
The Hawkins planned to shop at Toys R Us, Walmart, Kohl's and Best Buy – and possibly Sears and Gander Mountain.
The Recruiter
Name: Zach Weber
Age: 19
City: Hesston
"I didn't want to sit alone and wait for free stuff," said Weber, who was participating in his second Black Friday at Cabela's and met up with three friends about 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
"There wasn't a whole lot of planning involved. Everybody heard 'free stuff' and said 'Yeah, we'll show up.' I did it for the experience. It's a lot more fun to be with your friends."
The Prepper
Name: Hannah Lilley
Age: 20
City: Keithville, La.
"I used the Black Friday app on my phone (to plan)," said Lilley, who was visiting her grandparents for Thanksgiving and shopping at Towne West. "I worked my way up, small stores to big. That was my strategy. I started planning about a week in advance and used the app I had that puts all the coupon ads into one app."
Although she planned ahead, things didn't always go according to plan, but they worked out.
"They're not big strategizers," Lilley said of her family. "I said 'I'm going to go for electronics, you go for toys, you go for linens.' They did not follow it, but we got it done."
The Rookies
Name: Kristin and Aaron Downing
Age: 41 and 42
City: Andover
"I would have brought some lawn chairs and a coat. We were not prepared for this. I had no idea," said Kristin Downing, who was trying to get a laptop for her son.
The Downings showed up at the Best Buy on Rock Road about 9 p.m. Thursday.
"It's almost a sport," Downing said. "We didn't come in with a strategy. I can see why people get upset and wait in line. You hear the horror stories and can see why tensions get high."

BRIDGEPORT – Patoka's historic boys basketball season came to a close on Wednesday night in the sectional semifinals.
Playing at the Red Hill Sectional, the Warriors were done in by the size and hot shooting of Dieterich in a 61-39 loss.
Patoka hadn't played a sectional game since 1989 and had defeated the Movin' Maroons by nine during the regular season, but was unable to answer any of Dieterich's three scoring runs on Wednesday and failed to generate much offense in the first half.
BLOOMINGTON – Tasked with beating arguably one of the best small-school wrestling teams in Illinois history, the Vandals put forth one of their best efforts of the season against Dakota in last Saturday's state quarterfinals.
But even at their best, it wouldn't be enough for the Vandals to get past the eventual state champions, who won 11 of 14 bouts in a 45-9 victory.
"We battled them hard, all the way through," said coach Jason Clay. "We didn't give them anything or curl up into the fetal position.
It was one of the best winters ever for the Vandalia wrestling program, with the Vandals seemingly adding to their list of accomplishments on a weekly basis.
Starting with a team championship at the Civic Memorial Tournament on Dec. 7 and ending in the state quarterfinals last Saturday, the season was peppered with milestones, tournament titles and big dual wins.
Below is a season summary, featuring the achievements of the team and each individual wrestler.
BLOOMINGTON – The Vandals went into last Saturday's state quarterfinal dual against top-ranked Dakota truly believing that they could be giant slayers.
They battled with acute focus in each bout, surrendering just two pins, holding eight bouts to minor decisions and taking two bouts into overtime.
By the end of the match, there was little doubt that Dakota – a 45-9 winner – was the superior team, but by the end of the state tournament, it was clear that Vandalia had wrestled the Indians better than any other team.
MULBERRY GROVE – Two of Patoka's players scored 80 percent of the team's points in last Friday's regional championship game, but it was smaller contributions from several others that ultimately gave the Warriors their first regional title in 25 years.
MULBERRY GROVE – Johnnie Clift was his old reliable self.
Jered Cain found another level.
Together, they led Patoka to its first regional championship since 1989 by scoring 55 of the team's points in last Friday's 68-61 win against Odin at the Mulberry Grove Regional.
Cain, a standout freshman, had a career-high 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Clift, a fourth-year starting senior, had a double-double, with 23 points and 10 boards.
MULBERRY GROVE – When Patoka opened the season on Nov. 25 against Odin at the Mulberry Grove Turkey Tournament, there were a lot of unknowns.
Gone was the team's best post player from a year before and a scrappy guard, and in to replace them were a talented freshman and a junior transfer student.
And on that night, the Warriors lost.
The 67-62 defeat was the first of six losses on the season, but that five-point margin turned out to be the third widest margin in a loss during the regular season.
WOOD RIVER – It was a 9-0 swing that never should have happened, and it was all Roxana needed to end Vandalia's season.
The Shells knocked down 3-pointers on three straight possessions while Vandalia rushed and missed three of the same shots in the final two minutes of the first half of last Wednesday's regional semifinal game at East Alton-Wood River High School.
Those treys were part of a first half-ending 13-0 run that led Roxana to a 20-point halftime lead, and that margin would remain steady for the rest of the 62-42 victory.
The Vandalia Jr. wrestling club had all 20 of its participating wrestlers advance to this weekend's Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation South Sectional in Highland.
Eight wrestlers picked up first-place finishes at last Saturday's South Regional in Carbondale, and five others took second.
As a team, the Jr. Vandals placed first in the Intermediate Division, with 113 points. Muprhysboro was second, with 94 points.
Ryan Kaiser, Dawson McKinney, Eric McKinney, Kyle Miller and Gavin Mouser earned first in that division.
Many athletes who spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are the athletes who recently made headlines.

Girls in slippy dresses were standing at the bar, glancing around with bright, hopeful eyes. In the corner, a pianist was thumping out Gershwin numbers, almost drowned by the hum of metropolitan chatter.

Will Jason Collins Coming Out Make a Difference?
The NBA player is the first male athlete in professional team sports to publicly announce he's gay.
Sports are a pillar of American life, and professional teams have stereotypically been an unwelcome place for gay men. But Monday, NBA player Jason Collins came out in a first-person article posted to Sports Illustrated's website.
He's the first openly gay male athlete playing an American team sport, and his announcement begs the question as to whether his revelation will have any impact for other closeted professional athletes or the national conversation on gay rights.
Collins, who has played for six different professional basketball teams, said he never intended to be the first major male athlete to publicly announce he's gay, but that the Boston Marathon bombings showed him there's never going to be a perfect time for him to come out. He said he thought many people would be shocked he was gay because he was such an aggressive player, but that he hopes for positive reactions from his teammates:
I've been asked how other players will respond to my announcement. The simple answer is, I have no idea. I'm a pragmatist. I hope for the best, but plan for the worst. The biggest concern seems to be that gay players will behave unprofessionally in the locker room. Believe me, I've taken plenty of showers in 12 seasons. My behavior wasn't an issue before, and it won't be one now. My conduct won't change.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gay marriage.]
Collins likened his coming out in the NBA to the end of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the U.S. military. When the ban on gays serving in the military ended, opponents of lifting it were convinced the presence of gay service members would disrupt unit cohesion. But the opposite occurred, and Collins said he hopes his teammates will react the same way:
Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it's a good place to start. It all comes down to education. I'll sit down with any player who's uneasy about my coming out. Being gay is not a choice. This is the tough road and at times the lonely road.
Other professional athletes, like San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver, have said previously they wouldn't welcome a gay player onto their team. In January before his team played in the Super Bowl, Culliver said, "I don't do the gay guys man. I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do."
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should the Supreme Court Overturn the Defense of Marriage Act?]
Culliver issued an apology following the statement, and the 49ers also issued a statement saying they rejected the homophobic comments. But such comments have enforced the perception that gay athletes are not welcome in professional sports.
The Human Rights Campaign Monday released a statement in support of Collins' announcement, and HRC President Chad Griffin said the NBA players coming out "has forever changed the face of sports:"
No longer will prejudice and fear force gay athletes to remain silent about a fundamental part of their lives. By coming out and living openly while still an active NBA player, Collins has courageously shown the world that one's sexual orientation is no longer an impediment to achieving one's goals, even at the highest levels of professional sports.
Collins' coming out comes at a time when public opinion on gay rights issues is rapidly evolving. Polls show the majority of Americans now support marriage equality, and many prominent current and former politicians have come out in support of gay marriage. The Supreme Court last month heard arguments on the constitutionality surrounding same-sex marriage, and is set to rule in two separate cases in June.
What do you think? Will NBA player Jason Collins coming out as gay make a difference? Take the poll and comment below.
This poll is now closed, but the debate continues in the comments section.
