Oblimersen Treatment for Older Patients with AML
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
In this trial, researchers are trying to determine whether adding the drug oblimersen (Genasense) to chemotherapy will improve survival in patients aged 60 and older who have previously untreated AML. Oblimersen blocks production of a protein called Bcl-2, which helps cancer cells survive. Bcl-2 is overexpressed in many types of tumors and contributes to cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy. By blocking production of Bcl-2, oblimersen may make cancer cells more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy.
"Although AML long-term remission rates in younger patients are better, the long-term remission rates for AML in patients over 60 years old are very low, about 10-15 percent," said Dr. Marcucci. "AML is prevalent in the geriatric population in America, and as that population continues to grow, we can expect to see an increase in the number of older Americans with AML.
"That is why we need to come up with a new approach for treating AML in older patients," Dr. Marcucci added.

Plum Organics Tots Strawberry Fruity Fingerfuls Organic Freeze-Dried Fruit & Grain Bites
Plum Organics Strawberry Fruity Fingerfuls bite sized pieces melt in little mouths. Two snacks in one, Plum Organics Fruity Fingerfuls are a blend of organic freeze-dried fruit and hearty whole grains in a convenient portable pouch. These small bites dissolve quickly and are easy for little fingers to handle.
Say hello to your independent eater!
Your toddler is ready to take the first steps toward a lifetime of healthy eating now that they're feeding themselves. By ensuring they have bite-size, nutritious foods at their fingertips, you're putting healthy eating in their hands.
Simple, real foods for tots on the move.
Created by a mom, Plum Organics believes tots can grow up loving foods that are good for them. Plum Organics delicious, fun options are made from the best ingredients, which they put together with care so your child develops an appreciation of healthy foods for life.
The Plum Promise
They make only the most nutritious foods that inspire a joy of eating
Why is it important to introduce my baby to tastes and textures of real food early?
Plum Organics believe that introducing babies to real food with delightful tastes and pure ingredients as early as possible, can create a foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating. Plum Organics foods are cooked just the right amount as compared to other processing methods used by conventional jarred baby food that expose foods to high temperatures and lengthy cooking times.
Overcooking food results in less texture and flavor which is evident in its appearance. The natural nutrients are also lost through this process. Research has shown that eating a variety of healthy foods and minimizing the intake of processed foods with additives and preservatives can help avoid health concerns later in life such as allergies, obesity and early onset diabetes.
Perfect snacking for little fingers! Tear top of package open at designated area and reseal after use.
Is your toddler ready for Fingerfuls?Your toddler may be ready for Fingerfuls if he or she:
Children given this product must be 12 + months and accustomed to chewing solid foods.

5 Movies That Scared The Hell Out Of Me - Rebecca Blake
No. 4: The Fourth Kind
The Fourth Kind - This is an alien abduction movie, supposedly based on a true story and intercut with supposed real footage from the incidences the movie was based on. Now, I'm not scared of aliens. I actually watch a lot of UFO shows and LOVE the show Ancient Aliens. (I love you Giorgio Tsoukalos!) but something about seeing the "real" footage and hearing what were supposed to be "actual" recordings of the aliens speaking in ancient Sumerian freaked me out. In the movie the people who are being abducted wake up at 3:33 every morning. The day after the movie, the friend I went to see it with texted me at 3:33, just to mess with me... jackass.

Over the weekend my DVR was busy recording the Miss America pageant and the Golden Globes. I was out of town for a wedding in Atlanta and couldn't wait to get home to fast forward through all of the commercials and check out the glimmer and gold on my tv.
I have to say that our newly crowned Miss America from NY takes the award for Best Dressed in my book. I cannot say enough wonderful things about "her look". From the hair, to the asymetrical design, to the fabric, to the jewelry...it's just all straight 10's on my ballot!
One rule of fashion thumb that I try to follow is that when wearing a one-shoulder style...accessorize on the opposite arm from the fabric or strap. I love her big, chunky bracelet and it works so well with the big earrings. She could totally wear this down the road for her wedding! I say "yes"!
My next fashion favorite from the tv glamour weekend was Julie Bowen. Not only do I adore her, I also think she has a great sense of style and she always makes great choices. She looks stunning in the Halston below.
I really love the color. Not exactly sure what to call it but the mix of green and blue works so well with her hair and skin tones. She also got the memo about accessorizing the opposite arm when wearing one shoulder styles and I think those stacked bracelets are perfect! I also really love her messy up-do.
So Miss America and Miss Modern Family are my two "golden girl" picks from the weekend.
What dresses did you love? Hate?
Stay tuned. Stay trendy.

Rabbit Chapter 1Chapter 1The Spine sighed as he stepped through the door way into Walter Manor, home once again. He stepped out of the way allowing Rabbit and Hatchworth to enter. Rabbit immediately raced off in the direction of his room, rambling on in unintelligible squeals. Hatchworth looked quizzically at The Spine. "Is something wrong The Spine?"The Spine took a moment before answering, "No Hatchworth, everything's fine. Why don't you go see what Rabbit's up to." Hatchworth gave him another quizzical look before heading off in the direction of Rabbit's room.The Spine walked over to a window, looking out from behind the dark curtains at Michael, Matt, and Steve who were still unloading the band, usually The Spine would offer to lend a hand, but not today. He closed the curtains once again, savoring the darkness of the room. He felt peaceful, but something was not quite right. The Walter wi-fi was eerily quiet, there were no sudden outbursts of gleeful laughter from Rabbit, the air didn't buzz wi
Rabbit Chapter 11Hours passed as Holly and The Spine talked. The more time he spent with her, the more that The Spine felt a connection to Holly. She was intelligent and unafraid to speak her mind with passion and conviction.As the night wore on, he realized she had one outstanding trait, she was stubborn. The Spine had only ever met one person as stubborn as her, and he had spent 116 years living with him.The bar slowly began to empty as the night began to sweep into the early morning. Holly looked at her watch before fishing a pen out of her jacket pocket. "I had a great time talking to you tonight, and I'd love to stay longer, but I have a bus to catch." She scrawled her number onto a napkin and slid it across the table to The Spine with a smile. "You should call me sometime
soon."He picked up the napkin with her number before tucking it into his left pocket. " I most definitely will, ma'am." He stood up to escort her to the door, and tipped his hat to her as she left. Once she was gone he produ
Rabbit Chapter 10The Spine smiled as he stepped off of the bus he was outside a local bar. He never drank alcohol, but he liked the relaxed atmosphere and the company. The Spine sat down at one of the bar stools, hunching his shoulders to mask his height, he ordered a glass of water. He casually listened to the conversations around him, he picked up on one in particular that seemed to be interesting. A pretty young woman and a dark haired man were discussing music.He pretended to be oblivious to their conversation, but couldn't help but notice when the woman got up and walked towards him. She gently tapped on his shoulder, "Excuse me, I'm sorry but would mind helping us settle a disagreement?" She said pointing to the dark haired man.The Spine turned around to face her, happy to oblige, but was taken a back by just how beautiful she was in the light. She was tall compared to most girls, and even some guys at 6' 3" Her long blond hair swept down her back to just above her hips, and she held her self w
Rabbit Chapter 8The Spine laid down in his stasis chamber. As he closed his eyes an image flickered by. The nightmares always started the same way, an image here, a gun shot there, and the whir of his Tesla coil discharger powering up.The Next Paragraph is rated PG-13 due to violenceHe was in the trenches in World War I once again. Rabbit was crouched to his left, copper face shiny and free of oxidation. A soldier was a few yards to his right, holding a gun with white knuckles, obviously terrifies. The boy was only a private first class, he couldn't have been more than 20 years old. The Spine pitied him for a moment before regaining focus. An explosion sent dirt and rubble flying high above their heads. Rabbit peeked over the top of the trench before Gatling gun roaring, he knocked down a line of enemy soldiers. A grenade came flying into the trench, The Spine dove right in an attempt to save the young soldier's life. The grenade blew up throwing Rabbit and The spine back against the trench walls ha
Rabbit Chapter 12Michael and The Spine pulled up outside of Walter Manor around 5 in the morning,"Come on up to the house, you can sleep here for tonight, we have plenty of room." Michael was too tired to protest, and followed The Spine to the door of the manor. He unlocked the door and directed Michael to a guest room.He took note of Rabbit sleeping on the couch, he could move him in a few minutes. He went to the restroom to inspect his face and clear away any last traces of make up, not seeing any he went back to the living room. He lifted his brother up off the couch, used to finding him asleep in strange places, he walked to Rabbit's room with the intent of tucking him in for the night. He was surprised when he got there to find Paige sleeping in Rabbit's bed. "Well that's new." He remarked quietly before exiting the room, he would definitely have to ask Rabbit about that in the morning.Her walked away to his own room where he placed Rabbit in his own bed. He pulled the black silk sheets up aroun
Rabbit Chapter 4Chapter 4The Spine was still singing when the rest walked in, he paused for a moment, giving them a nod to acknowledge that he knew they were there before continuing the song for Rabbit. Peter and Michael walked over to the bed, and began to remove the metal covering his chest. Rabbit was vaguely aware of their presence, but he was focused intently on his brother, he stared straight into the bright green of his brother's photo receptors.When the song ended The Spine made a motion to get up to allow Michael and Peter more room to work. Rabbit grabbed The Spine's hand tightly, a dark tear slipped out and fell down onto his pillow, "Please
.. Don't stop." Rabbit whispered. The Spine looked at his defenseless older brother before holding his hand tighter, and whispering back "Okay Rabbit
. I won't stop."As the other stood by watching Peter and Michael operate on Rabbit, they gathered together finding strength in each other, truly a family. Paige was crying on Brianna's shoulder, terrifi
Rabbit Chapter 2Chapter 2Steve remained in the kitchen seated calmly even as Michael raced out the door to the aid of the robots. Steve tilted his head, furrowing his eyebrows as he concentrated on listening. He returned to sipping his cocoa after he heard nothing that was too terribly alarming, probably just another minor repair he thought. Matt looked at the door way that Michael had left through so suddenly, "Shouldn't we go after him?" he asked. Steve set down his mug and leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, "It's probably nothing, sometimes the bots need repair, happens all the time, they are 116 years old after all." The Spine 's voice rumbled through the kitchen again. "Michael!" Steve was suddenly roused from his chair, with Matt quick to follow, "I thought you said it was probably nothing
." Matt said confusedly. Steve whirled around to face him, and there was no hiding the fear in Steve's eyes as he spoke, "The Spine never yells twice.Never." No more words were needed as they worked their
Rabbit Chapter 3Chapter 3The sound of the knock ricocheted through the hall, Matt held his breath unconsciously, unsure of what to expect when the door would open, if it would open. After what felt like hours the door opened. A man in a wooden mask, with what appeared to be a keyhole cut out of the center. He stood there in silence for a few moments. "Well?" The man asked him. "It must be something rather important to interrupt my work with blue matter." Peter shifted his weight on his walking stick examining Matt. "It might help if you're breathing." Matt hadn't realized that he wasn't breathing until that point. Matt was only able to utter a single word, a word far more powerful than he could ever realize. "Rabbit
" he almost whispered. Peter straightened up, and stepped out of his office closing the door firmly behind him. "Where?" He responded calmly. Matt turned and walked down the hall, with Peter following.The Spine was becoming aggravated. Michael had fixed Rabbits leaks and cleaned him up a
Rabbit Chapter 13Paige wandered the halls of Walter Manor, softly calling Rabbit's name. "Rab-" she called, suddenly cut off as she ran into the copper bot and tumbled to the floor."Sorry bout' that Paige. I-I-I didn't see ya there." He bent down extending a coppery hand to meet hers as he helped her back onto her feet."S' no problem." She said quickly. She smiled and suddenly remembered the water bottle in her hands. "I brought you some water, I thought you might need it." Her hands fumbled as she handed it to Rabbit.Rabbit's boilers had been getting low, but he didn't notice until she mentioned it. Little things seemed to slip his mind when he was around Paige, not that he was very attentive otherwise. But this was different, there was something about Paige that made him smile a little wider and forget the little things. He smiled at her and accepted the water bottle. "Thank ya' Paige." He said and took a large drink.Paige shifted her weight for a moment, trying to decide how to approach the deli

Kazzoland High Ch 2CH 2. Bad DogsSpine focused intently on the words on the page, his entire face shoved between the pages of his book. This was a feat considering Hatchworth hadn't stopped talking since they sat down. They were waiting on a bench outside the front doors of the school, waiting for their brothers so they could walk home."I'm a free man again!" Rabbit cheered as he threw both glass doors open, he sauntered out and leaned over Spine's shoulder. He knew all to well that reading over his shoulder was one of Spine's biggest pet peeves."Mr. Wisdom missed you at band practice." Hatchworth stated, following after Spine as the tall Silver automaton stood and closed his book. "He says you still have to pick up your solo practice sheets.""Did P-p-paige miss me?" Rabbit shuffled nervously. He did a good job keeping his stutter hidden in school, but any time he talked about Paige it leaked. And of all the girls that he was courting she was the only o

The clattering of dishes and hushed murmurs could be heard from around the door frame. Hatchworth was passing out orders, keeping the whole thing organized for Spine while he was gone. Rabbit giggled under his breath, rubbing his palms together greedily. Creeping upon the light that overflowed from the archway when he was suddenly yanked back by two silver hands over his eyes.Spine! Wh-what are you doing! He grumbled, trying to pry them off of his faceplate.Shhh. I don't want you to peak. Spine pretended to whisper. His voice booming just loud enough that the ki

He barely managed to turn the corner, slamming into the wall and leaving a huge dent. But that wouldn't slow him down, he just grabbed The Jon's hand and kept running, loving the feel of it after so long."Look, aren't th-they amazin'!" He gushed as they burst into the kitchen, giving Walter Girls Paige and Brianna a grand gesture.All eyes turned to Rabbit. The Jon smiled meekly and gave a small wave."Rabbit, are you okay?" Michael took a step forward, eyeing Rabbit suspiciously.He pushed The Jon in front of him and grinned madly, "Whadda ya mean? Of course I-I'm okay! Loo-ok who's back with us!"Michael's eyebrows drew together slightly, "Who's with us, Rabbit?""Come on guys, why ya actin' so funny? I-I-Its Jon!"

Micheal found it difficult to wrap his head around. Yet he's always found the Robots behavior baffling. It was so much to take in. He sat on the chair while Rabbit explained his discoveries. The sound bytes, the behavior logs from Jon. "I thought he was okay with being himself?"Rabbit frowned. "He was. But... well you have to understand Micheal. We've been around for 114 years. He starts thinking he wants more, and then he's okay with it. We robots are very fickle creatures.""I noticed..."

Rabbit Chapter 9Chapter 9Later that day
The Spine dug in his closet for a few minutes before producing s black chest with a silver lock. He fished in his pocket before finding the key to open the box smiling, all of his supplies were still there. It had been far too long since he had taken a night for himself. "Brianna?" he called out."Yes?" she called from the hall. She peeked her head around the door before spotting the black box. She smiled before grabbing The Spine's writs and the black box, and proceeded to the Hall or Wires.Rabbit walked into the kitchen to see piles of sandwiches filling the room. Hatchworth was staring at one pile in particular, appearing to be deep in thought. Rabbit grabbed a sandwich from a random pile and took a big bite.

Regal Entertainment Group, which operates Regal Cinemas and United Artists Theatres in metro Atlanta and has more than 6,800 theaters across the country, plans to cut the hours of thousands of employees to avoid having to provide costly health care insurance coverage under Obamacare, according to a company memo obtained by Fox News.
Non-salaried workers will be made part-timers, putting them below the average 30-hour-a-week threshold where employers must provide health insurance under the under the Affordable Care Act or face a possible penalty, according to Fox's report.
REG is joining other companies that have announced plans to either cut workers or their hours to avoid facing increased health care costs under Obamacare. Starting in 2014, some businesses with 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees that do not offer health coverage to those employees may face penalties. A full-time employee for the purposes of Obamacare is one who is employed an average of at least 30 hours per week.
The network quoted the following from the REG memo:
"To comply with the Affordable Care Act, Regal had to increase our health care budget to cover those newly deemed eligible based on the law's definition of a full-time employee, To manage this budget, all other employees will be scheduled in accord with business needs and in a manner that will not negatively impact our health care budget."
Efforts were being made to reach REG or comment. In addition to Regal Cinemas, REG operates Edwards Theatres.

Here is the thing I am noticing- people love the idea of universal healthcare, but have no clue what all is in the bill and a lot of it is costly and scary.

Stay classy Regal. Keep on keeping your employees in the dog house.
April 17th, 2013

And I am sure the executives got raises as well. Seems like a lot of companies are using this a reason to not hire full-time people. Not an Obama supporter, just an observation.
April 17th, 2013

These people did not have insurance anyway? The companies that do this reap millions anyway. Just another cop out. Boycott them!!!
April 17th, 2013
10:44 am
For those of you critical of REG, are you willing to pay several dollars more for your movie ticket to cover the costs of Obamacare? If not, don't complain or even comment. Companies are in business to make a profit, pure and simple, and if the Government is going to shove healthcare down your throat, someone has to pay for it. That money will come from hardworking, tax paying citizens and from businesses, and most certainly not from the vast majority that will benefit from Obamacare . . .

If a company cannot take care of their employees, how can the company appear able to take care of the customer?
There is a difference between CHEAP @SSES and simply complying with the realities of running a business.

Remind me never to patronize Regal. Health care? We don't need no stinkin health care. Let them all die instead.
April 17th, 2013

Surely if one to review the Healthcare Plans of the workers compared to management and the executive level staff, you will find a stark difference of available care and coverage between the (3) three. The average workers coverage being applied with lesser medical coverage and available benefits across the Board.

The REGAL was not providing insurance for most of these employees before ObamaCare so who cares if they don't provide it in the future.
Obama Voters did this to themselves and the rest of us by being Dumb Racists Voters.

You Owebama supporters are hilarious. The left rams through a monstrosity of a bill that wasn't read by those that voted for it, and you all blame the corporations. Y'all need to check and see if Owebamacare covers brain transplants.
April 17th, 2013
11:18 am
I am laughing at all of you who are claiming to BOYCOTT, you will only add more damage to an already weak economy. You were told that Obamacare is not free. You were told that you now have to buy insurance or you will face a fine for not being covered.
You still voted for those crappy liberals. We threw the democraps out after Clinton because he robbed social security, and you think that they are any different now because a black man now represents them ?
What Obamacare boils down to is this, If you are alive, and live in this country, you better buy insurance, or you will be fined. If you refuse to pay the fine, you will be imprisoned.
You employer now has no incentive to provide you with insurance. There is now a law, just like with auto insurance, that requires you to purchase that product. I am 100% certain, that your employer does not pay for your auto insurance ? Why would they pay for your health insurance ?
Guess what sheep, it will only get worse from here.
April 17th, 2013
11:38 am
Well Regal just lost my business!! If Regal can afford to give health insurance to the executives then they should also give it to ALL EMPLOYEES. I think its low down and dirty to reduce workers hours to avoid having to provide insurance to their hourly workers. Shame on Regal!!
April 17th, 2013
11:40 am
Boycott? Typical no brain thoughtless response. If your boycott is successful and no one goes to the cinema then there will be no need to staff the place and then everyone will be laid off.
Yep, that old boycott should solve the problem.
What you "boycotters" (and OWS types) haven't learned yet is that businesses across the U.S. are reaching critical mass. They are not able to continue paying these additional and often unnecessary business costs and still stay in business. Like Maggie Thatcher said "Socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples' money".

I will never attend a Regal theater again. I urge everyone to boycott this company for their blatantly political move.

And how many millions in bonuses does the Regal Group CEO get for slashing workers minimum wage hours? I won't be attending Regal again either. Yet again, another business that handles FOOD who refuses to provide basic health care for its employees, who handle FOOD. gross

Reading over the posts..couple of thoughts. First, those of you who think all corporations are greedy, filthy rich b********, you obviously have never owned a business. While many may pull in millions, that money isn't all profit. Companies, particularly national ones, cost millions to run. Besides the obvious overhead and payroll, you've got about 20 different taxes to pay, matching Medicare, Medicaid, SS payments, workman's comp, (in this case) movie acquisition/royalty/copyright costs, and associated legal costs for various things. Movie companies have had a difficult decade with things like Netflix, On-demand, and Red Box competing and a bad economy with little disposable income. Actually, their profits don't come from movies, but from concessions. People going to movies have cut down on concession purchases because movie ticket prices have gone up.
Now, comes another mandate that will cost millions more. The company can't increase prices because that will hurt them in an already unstable market. Their bottom line is already stretched. There is only one way to go, cutting hours of employees to get out from under the penalty.
In times past, employers offered benefits as an incentive for good workers to stay with the company. It was a way to beat their competitors for good workers. However, in this economy, when there are more people looking for work than employers hiring, having good benefits will not make any difference in keeping employees. So, REG has no incentive to keep insurance for all employees and, in fact, has every incentive based on the cost and regulations of Obamacare mandate to cut employees/hours in order to not provide insurance. It's simple economics folks.
Now, these same employees who were making OK money with no insurance will be making much less pay AND STILL have to buy insurance out of their own pockets. We told you this would happen. You didn't believe us.

Curmudgeon: Nice Thatcher quote. Notice how she didn't touch their universal health care? Also, our is definitely NOT universal health care. It is some silly hybrid brought on by mindless Republicans and wussy Democrats. We should be under a single-payer system, like every other civilized country…THEN we would have universal health care. Too bad the Dems were too weak to ram that through. And yes, I don't mind spending my tax dollars to ensure that myself, and every other American (including you), will never go bust for having the audacity to require medical assistance that exceeds one's ability to repay it. I'm not talking breast implants and abortions…I'm talking about a car accident driving home after being 'let go' (losing your insurance) that leaves you in coma and a $500k hospital bill when you wake up. This scenario is far from being far-fetched.

I'd love to know how Skynyrd and Curmudgeon and waytogo will respond when what is already blatantly obvious is proven to be true – that some right-wing, gun nut, HIGH information voting (HA – give me a break), Glenn Beck worshipping, "Obummer" hating white guy is charged with bombing the Boston Marathon.
Throw a tea party, maybe?

You idiots calling for a boycott don't even go watch movies in the theater anyway. You are the same idiots that voted for this incompetent president and don't pay a dime in federal income taxes. You ARE the low information voter that blindly follow the Democratic party like sheep.

With all due respect to the office of the presidency, Mr. Obama should take notice. This is what happens when you try to infuse a socialist policy into a capitalist environment. The government can force businesses to do one thing, however, the government cannot prevent the businesses' logical, lawful reaction to that legislature. Hopefully, this is a lesson learned – even though it's late.

For all of you complaining about Regal, get ready. More and more and more companies will do this. Hey wait, let's get the "rich" people to pay for it. Or hey, let's let the employees get the Obamacare and you pay $30 for a movie ticket! This stuff isn't free folks. Someone pays for it. And considering if you tax the top 3% of earners 100% in taxes, it only pays to run the government for 40 days.
April 17th, 2013
12:13 pm
How dare the company tries to make money! They should forget a profit and provide their employees free healthcare. In fact, the movie should be free too.
Businesses that operate on thin margins (like movie theaters, restaurants, etc) can NOT afford to give healthcare to their employees without raising prices, firing workers, or reducing hours. It is that simple. Anyone that can't understand that is too dumb to understand business or simple economics.
April 17th, 2013
12:14 pm
For the poster who asked about whether or not the execs got bonuses:
In 2012, Regal's stock went up by over 20 percent, and every single major company executive, including the CEO, CFO, and COO, received a six-figure pay increase. CEO Amy Miles made off particularly well, with her pay rising by 31 percent to $4.45 million for the year, bolstered by a base salary increase of $750,000.

Well Finn you volunteer to do that then. No one is stopping you from giving more taxes to the government while they constantly waste money as well. Hey, another idea. Let's just let them all go to the emergency room like the illegals do and pay nothing. The cost of healthcare, well that is one of the issues it is so high. Oh but wait, let's give all 11million amnesty and buy them a house too.

MoFaux is correct when he said what we have is definitely not universal health care or socialized healthcare. What we have is a big mess. Basically they stuck all the responsibility on the insurance companies, employers and the private citizens. A lot of people don't understand that the only thing that has really changed is, if you don't have health insurance you will have to buy it on your own dime. You will be required (if you have a job or not) to buy it, or be taxed. When it comes to universal health care we should be all in (government sponsored healthcare for all, paid for by taxes) or all out. Not some hybrid system that is doomed to fail.
April 17th, 2013
12:26 pm
Finn, I just wanted to let you know, I am not disclaiming that people do not need healthcare, I just disagree with Obamacare. I'm sorry, but all my life I have worked very hard, growing up not poor, but not quite middle class either, and we paid our way. It's time that the "give me, give me" attitude is put to rest. Take care of the kids, veterans and disabled, but quit paying for the people that can work and provide.

"If a company cannot take care of their employees, how can the company appear able to take care of the customer?" ~ Customer @ 10:44
A very good question, Regal Entertainment Group executives. Consider the following before you respond:
There's a Regal theater complex near my home; a larger AMC complex is less than a mile away. The Regal complex is run down and ratty-looking; food choices and preparation are abysmal; its restroom facilities are inadequate, especially for women, and rarely clean; and employees appear poorly trained and unmotivated. The AMC facility is just the opposite in almost every respect. Guess which business gets more word of mouth praise, foot traffic and repeat customers?
Now Regal says that it's cutting employee hours due to projected Obamacare costs. Right. Let's blame government and the law to reduce our poorly compensated front-line work force. IMO RGC executives are just using that as another excuse to explain the company's low profitability — and justify their own job performance — to stockholders.
Memo to Regal: You're in the movie business, right? Remember "build it and they will come?" Why not re-think your field of dreams business model? Invest in better facilities, improved management practices, higher performance standards and adequate employee compensation. That's how you motive good employees, increase customer satisfaction to grow your business and improve your your profit margin.
April 17th, 2013
12:40 pm
"If your boycott is successful and no one goes to the cinema then there will be no need to staff the place and then everyone will be laid off."
At Regal, yes. But when everyone takes their business elsewhere, then other theaters will need to hire more employees to serve their growing customer base. Just because Regal goes out of business doesn't mean the demand for movies disappears.

Guest…………..do you think Regal will be the ONLY company to do this? Do you think the movie industry will be the only industry to do this?
PUBLIX has kept most workers at just under full time since they started doing business in Ga to avoid health benefits. Do you BOYCOTT grocery stores?
BOYCOTT every company not keeping full time employees and paying for their health care and see who you will be doing business with.
April 17th, 2013
12:47 pm
Just another way for companies not to own up to being responsible and looking out for their employees. When will it ever be about the employee and not the company.
April 17th, 2013
12:48 pm
Well Finn you volunteer to do that then.
If you can't afford another $.10 for a movie ticket then maybe you have bigger issues and shouldn't be going to the movies in the first place.
but this isn't about you or me, this is about greed. Taking a bonus on corp profits is great, but refusing to pay your employees a living wage/compensation while doing so? Uhuh.
Why do the workers always have to pay/take it up the "" so the owners can not have their profits disturbed a bit?

Regal is doing what they must do to stay in business. If they provided healthcare insurance for everyone, no one could afford to go to the movies because the ticket price would be raised to covered the cost of insurance and then the employees would not only not have a part-time job, they would have NO job.
April 17th, 2013

Why don't the MOVIE makers pay the STARS less to make the movies and take that saved money from paying Martin Sheen and use it to pay the movie theater employees. Yes that is it. The STARS need the Theaters to show their movie so they can make money. Maybe the STARS should help pay the cost of the OUTLET where their ART makes them money.
April 17th, 2013

If you can't turn a profit while treating your employees decently then you should be replaced.
April 17th, 2013

Well, I dropped, theatre employees don't work for the hollywood stars. In fact operating a movie house is more about concessions than movies and ticket prices.
If they are going to raise anything it would be the concession prices cause they can't do much, if anything, about the price of the movie ticket.

Vivlamore reporting from Philips Arena.
Just a quick note from morning shoot-around before the Hawks conclude their regular season tonight against the Mavericks.
UPDATE: The NBA just released it's schedule for Game 1 of the playoffs. The Hawks-Celtics series will start Sunday, no matter who hosts. The time and rest of the series scheduled will be released later. The rest of the Game 1 schedules are below.
It looks like the Hawks will be without reserve guard Jannero Pargo, who has been nursing a stiff back. Coach Larry Drew said this morning that Pargo is a game-time decision but doubted he would play. As reported yesterday, Zaza Pachulia will not play tonight. He left Philips Arena Thursday morning wearing a walking boot. It's the first time that I'm aware he's worn it.
According to reports from Dallas, it appears the Mavs may rest Jason Kidd.
We will report back later today with a game thread but here is the topic if you want tostart commenting: How will the Hawks' offense be different in the playoffs without Al Horford and Pachulia? Discuss.
Here is the schedule for each game 1 of the first round.
Western Conference
Utah at San Antonio: Sunday, April 29
Dallas/OR/Denver at Oklahoma City: Saturday, April 28
Denver/OR/Dallas at L.A. Lakers: Sunday, April 29
L.A. Clippers at Memphis: Sunday, April 29
OR Memphis at L.A. Clippers: Sunday, April 29
Eastern Conference

Against the Celtics, the front court matchups will be problematic. ZaZa always played the tough guy against Boston, reminding them that the Hawks won't be pushed around… Not sure that Twin can play enough minutes to be that physical with them.
April 26th, 2012
11:43 am
Since Zaza's offense is a non-factor most of the time it won't be missed. As for Horford, it seems as though the team has made adjustment and can play offense effectively without him.
April 26th, 2012
11:47 am
So when will Zaza be available again?
April 26th, 2012
12:06 pm
yeesh. I shudder to think about a playoff-intense BOS vs. ATL matchup w/o Zaza at the Center position. I think Ivan has the attitude …but not the altitude. If we have to go small all series long
April 26th, 2012
12:16 pm
I didn't know that Zaza was going to be out for the Celtics series. Have I missed something? Has anything been said definitively?
April 26th, 2012

Can Twin frustrate KG? Can he he move quickly enough to even stay with KG? Seems like Marvin will have to play a lot at PF, forcing TMac to spend time defending Pierce.

Tina the Stunner!
Wow! Zaza's wifey photo is a stunner, what a dime he has. One look at her and, his foot should be fully healed. I had never seen her before but, Zaza … you really out ran the kicker on this one.
Check out this older article written by Steve Hummer/AJC
Google: State of Pachulia, Steve Hummer, ajc.com
Tina Pachulia is a dancer from his native The Republic of Georgia. The have a son named after Zaza's late father who passed at 41 years of age from a heart attack. Zaza's dad was a Judo Master. Great blood lines, his son Davit was born in October of 2009, i believe.
GET WELL SOON Zaza! Boy, do we need you man

"Zaza Pachulia will not play tonight. He left Philips Arena Thursday morning wearing a walking boot. It's the first time that I'm aware he's worn it." -MC-
MC, at half time of the Boston game, Zaza was interviewed by Jerome Jurenovich and, Zaza said he wore a walking boot for only two days immediately after the injury.
I wondered why he didn't wear it longer to take pressure off the ankle and big toe. This was the first time we had heard anything specific about this mysterious foot injury? Zaza said he sprained his ankle and the big toe was quite painful as well.
Without knowing much, I immediately posted he should have been "booted" immediately and undergo a MRI or CT-Scan to see the extent of damage, as the foot has 27 intricate bones in it, (that might be 24 bones) either way the bony foot is very hard to see everything without a CT-Scan to turn angles and look around the corner in small foot joints.
I would be looking for fractured bone or cracked cartilage, torn ligaments and tendons shearing away from the bones, myself. Once the swelling subsided, which should be long ago, I would start aggressive "kick paddling" in the pool with a "pool noodle" around his chest to float and just focus on kicking his feet to speed up the healing foot sprains, (ankle and big toe).
Ultra-Sound Therapy would be amazing to speed the healing as well. Do not use any E-Stim whatsoever! The walking boot should have not been abandoned so soon, only after 2 days is perplexing to me. The pool therapy would have prevented calf muscle atrophy, IMHO.
Boy, am I concerned about Zaza and, our future now. I wish they would tell us more about this problem so, we can waive Eric an,d sign a D-Leaguer for the post season. We need a rebounder and defender to replace Zaza. Jason and Eric, are not the answers!

In response to your 4/26/2012 post @2:08am, Marvin Williams' playing time was reduced because Marvin Williams was not being productive offensively.
Marvin's time was reduced because Drew was trying to develop a bench. I have no problem with that. But it was coming at the expense of giving guys like Vlad and Hinrich more playing time that they deserved.
Remember how people had a fit around here when Hinrich came back, and started taking minutes from both Green and especially Pargo? The same thing was going on with Marvin, with Drew trying to develop Vlad and T-Mac as main cogs off the bench instead of letting Marvin and T-Mac play at the same time.
Meanwhile, Marvin's PER in January hovered around 19, yet, couldn't get extended minutes even when he played well.
Marvin Williams' lack of offensive aggressiveness as well as his [often times] inability to score isn't the fault of Larry Drew; that fault belongs to Marvin Williams. Marvin Williams' subpar and mediocre play and performance forced Larry Drew [LD] to curb Marvin Williams' minutes per game [mpg], take/demote Marvin Williams out/from of the starting lineup and insert Kirk Hinrich into the starting lineup.
Like Kirk was balling enough to start? No. Drew specifically said that moving Marvin to the bench was an attempt to get him the ball and have him function as the #1 or #2 scoring option. He simply wasn't getting enough opportunities to score as a starter, seeing how Smith and JJ were talking the majority of shots. And with Teague having the ball in his hands, his shot attempts would naturally go up as well.
Hinrich was playing flat out horrible off the bench, but still damn near getting 20 minutes a game. Vlad was inconsistent as hell, but still getting close to 20 minutes a game. Marvin was simply Marvin. T-Mac was playing every other day, and almost always got extended minutes when he played well. Can't say the same for Marvin. Only recently has Drew started rewarding Marvin for good play.
At one point during this [regular] season, Marvin Williams went through a scoring slump in which his scoring average dropped to 9.0ppg – 9.2ppg. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Marvin Williams' scoring average may have even dipped below 9.0ppg; that is totally unacceptable considering the absence of Al Horford [due to injury] and Jamal Crawford [due to (a) non-re-signing] while Jeff Teague, a first-time starter this season for the Hawks, was able to consistently average above 12.0ppg.
Once again, the difference between Jamal Crawford and Marvin, is that Jamal ALWAYS had the ball in his hands, seeing that he functioned as the PG or the #1 scoring option off the bench. For most of the year, Marvin was the #4 option as a starter, and was dependent on people getting him the ball in the right spots.
He had a horrible February ( actually the whole team minus Josh Smith had a horrible February ). That has been cited. What you're constantly skipping over though, is that Drew didn't give Marvin extended minutes even when he was playing well. In basketball, players are sometimes given a chance to pad their stats when playing well. But not Marvin.
In the early season win vs the Heat, Marvin had 8 points and 3 rebounds in 22 minutes of play on 4 – 6 shooting. Here's the problem. Drew played Vlad 20 minutes that same game, and Vlad went 0 – 5 FG.
It's not like my expectation[s] of Marvin Williams' production was out of the ordinary or severely inflated. For three seasons [2007-2009], Marvin has averaged 13.1ppg and 5.3rpg, 14.8ppg and 5.7rpg, and 13.9ppg and 6.3rpg, respectively.
And in those years, Marvin averaged 34.6 . . 34.3 . . and 30.5 minutes respectively. This year, he averaged 26.4 minutes ( the 2nd lowest of his career ). And remember, this is 26.4 minutes despite Marvin posting his HIGHEST PER of his career.
Per 36 minute numbers using the 2007 – 09 years and the 2011 – 12 year.
2007: 13.9 ppg – 5.6 rebs
2008: 15.4 ppg – 6.0 rebs
2009: 14.5 ppg – 6.6 rebs
2012: 14.0 ppg – 7.1 rebs
Funny how his per 36 minute production is right on par with the seasons that you listed. The only difference is that Marvin didn't get nearly the minutes on a per game basis to post better numbers this year.
Please note that Marvin Williams was a starter at the beginning of the season and was relegated to coming off the bench when his [level of] performance either subsided or demonstrated huge inconsistencies.
And please note that at the beginning of the season, Marvin's PER hovered around 19 and that he shot 50% 3FG until February came. The whole team started to play bad in February, outside of Josh Smith, and Drew simply had to change up the mix because the Hawks were starting to freefall in February.
He resisted the temptation to give Vlad major minutes, rewared Ivan with more minutes, and gave Marvin more offensive freedom to score the basketball off the bench, instead of waiting on his turn to shoot with JJ and Josh taking most of the shots in the starting unit. Drew gets credit for tweaking the lineup the way he did.
Marvin Williams should have been the [Atlanta] Hawks' third leading scorer this regular season – not first-year starter, Jeff Teague. After all, Marvin Williams was the overall No. 2 pick of the 2005 NBA Draft.
Jeff Teague is the starting PG on the team. He is also more effective as a scoring PG than as a playmaking PG. Had he'd been a playmaking PG, Marvin's numbers would've been up. But because we need Teague scoring the ball to maximize his effectiveness, Teague got more shots than Marvin. And I don't have a problem with that. My problem was reducing Marvin's minutes to play scrubs that shouldn't have been on the court in the first place.
And once again, it is "high" time that people simply get over the fact that he was selected #2 in that draft. It is NOT his fault that the Hawks thought he was "James Worthy with a jumpshot". Teams mess up drafts all the time. It's the same draft that saw Andrew Bogut go #1 instead of Chris Paul or Deron. But you don't hear Milwaukee getting killed over that ( despite the Bucks only having TWO playoff appearances in Bogut's tenure with the Bucks ). If you were to look at that draft today, here is how those players may rank:
1) Chris Paul
2) Deron Williams
3) Monta Ellis ( taken in 2nd round . . and could've been taken by the Hawks instead of Salim )
4) Danny Granger
5) David Lee
6) Andrew Bynum ( and rapidly going up this list )
7) Andrew Bogut
8] Raymond Felton
9) Marvin Williams
10) Jarrett Jack
For the amount of minutes he played, Marvin had a solid year. A ( B- ) type of year, not a ( D+ ). LOL @ giving just about everybody on the team high marks, but Marvin is seen as a scrub not worthy of praise, despite him being a top 20 SF in the league.

Very nice work and comments re: Marvin Williams, thanks man.
I'm so excited about the play offs! It will be a series of attrition – The Last Man Standing (so, it seems). Those 66 games flew by us so quickly – just WOW!

And Zaza being out won't be an issue IF Collins gives us "something" from a defensive and rebounding standpoint for about 10 minutes a game . . and if Josh Smith makes a commitment to crash the boards.
With Zaza out, Josh needs to be determined to average 10+ rebounds a game in this series. When you talk about Josh raising the level of his game in the Boston series, he has a better chance of posting a high rebounding number, than a high point total.
I fully expect these Boston games to mirror the first 2 games we played against them. They are going to be grind it out games in which the first team to 80 points will probably win the game. The Hawks, and especially Josh, need to be prepared for that.
There is going to be nothing easy in this series, so the Hawks need to have that same mindset toward the Celtics . . . nothing easy.

Thanks "Miss Mary".
I just get tired of people killing that dude for every single little thing that he does or doesn't do, while overlooking what he DOES bring to the table. We all know Marvin's deficiencies and what he needs to do better. But the way people talk about him on this blog, you'd think that Marvin was the worst player in the Eastern Conference.

Drew has to have a great feel of the game. If 'Collins is getting destroyed on the boards by his man, you MUST get him out of there. You can't let the Hawks play 4 on 5 against the Celtics. Ivan will have to log 25+ minutes a game, and Marvin will have to play extended minutes at the 4.
With that bench group, you also have to manage their minutes as well. These are the playoffs, and we don't need to be wasting time playing guys who are ineffective. If T-Mac doesn't have it that game, get him out of there. Same goes for Pargo and Green. If JJ and Smith have to play 40+ minutes during these playoffs, so be it.
People who aren't producing, or at the very least defending and rebounding, can't be kept in the game.
I think Doc and the Celtics will be scoreboard watching tonight. Doc will probably play his reserves again vs Milwaukee. But he'll also have one eye on the Hawks – Mavs game. With just about every game Eastern Conference game starting at 8 pm ( eastern time ), both games will be going on at the same time.
I could see a scenario in which if the Hawks are losing, and the Celtics are close, but losing, Doc will put in his big guns and try to win the game to get that home court.
On the flip side, the Mavs may be more content with playing the Thunder, than they are the Lakers. The Lakers frontline poses big problems for the Mavs and they didn't beat them once this year. Maybe they tank this game to get a matchup with the Thunder. If they beat them, then they can worry about the Lakers in Round 2. But they don't want to play them in Round 1.

Yeah man, Marvin has been impressive this year. He has shown a very good attitude in coming off the bench by playing hard and not sulking. I for one, appreciate that level of professionalism. I've always thought Marvin was a very nice kid, personality wise.
Marvin has really shown up this year in his limited role. I just hope he hits those wide open shots, or pump fake and drive it inside for some FT's. Marvin is a very good FT shooter when, his shot is not falling. I also like him letting it fly off quick screens, Joe Johnson too.
Marvin has made a believer out of me this year. I'm not one to beat up on the guys too hard, I feel like they are human too and do have feelings just like everybody else.
I appreciate your hard work and research. The effort on your part has not gone unnoticed, I'm glad you are a Hawks fan – for real! (wink – wink)

Celtics would would score 140points, JUST DAM.

Hawks if there going have a chance in the playoffs LD must go with big linup.
Teague, Joe, Josh, Ivan, Collins
Pargo, Green, Tmac, Marvin, Dampier
northcyde – Size and defense is the key in playoffs, everything is played half court come playoff time.
April 26th, 2012

To be fair to Marvin Williams, the reason he is so beat up for being the #2 pick is that the Hawks desperately needed a PG that year and ended up passing on two PGs that would eventually be all-stars.
Honestly, If you look at all the #2 picks for the past 30 years, Marvin is probably a middle of the pack guy in terms of career. You have HOFs of future HOFs like Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, and K. Durant. But you also have busts like Sam Bowie, Shawn Bradley, and Darko Milicic. Overall, I would say Marvin's career has been about average for a #2 pick all things considered.

This series comes down to toughness. The Hawks are younger, have more talent, and played the Celtics tougher than anybody in the playoffs 4 years ago when the Celtics were playing at a championship level. Normally, Zaza would provide toughness. In his and Al Horford's absence, the hopes of the Hawks rest on Ivan Johnson. If Drew plays Collins 15 MPG in this series, the Hawks go home. I'm guessing that's what will happen. Drew feels a sense of job security because he has the injury excuse.

Hawks in the playoffs????
- Larry Drew, NBA Coach of the Year…
- Need Horford, ZaZa, but Collins/Ivan/Damp…
- Folks must admit Collin/Ivan not bad, does dirty work…
- Ivan is a beast, every bit of Brandon Bass…
- Loved LD finishing with Smoove, Marvin, TMac…
Eastern BIG lineups…
Noah, Boozer, Asik, Gibson are a load…
Chandler, Stoudamire, Anthony are formidable…
Bosh, Lebron, Anthony, Haslem are formidable…
Garnett, Pierce, Bass, Hollins, Steimsma under-rated…
Collins, Smoove, Marvin, Ivan, Dampier are all we got…

Also, Josh must take the ball inside and get to the free throw line. The Celtics play Thom Thibodeau's innovative defensive principles which forces the ball to the baseline, which acts as an extra defender. To counter it, Josh must attack inside and not let himself be forced outside to settle for jump shots. That is precisely Boston's game plan. If Josh plays into Boston's game plan, the Hawks go home.

"Tina the Stunner!
Wow! Zaza's wifey photo is a stunner, what a dime he has. One look at her and, his foot should be fully healed. I had never seen her before but, Zaza … you really out ran the kicker on this one."

In isolation, Josh and Ivan would be fine. But that assumes they can play 40+ minutes and NEVER get into foul trouble during a series that will surely be super-physical. That is the lone reason why you can't discount the need for Twin and Dampier (and possibly Vlad and Marvin) to produce well during the series. It is a fantasy to believe that two competent bigs is good enough to win a playoff series.

From the AP: Here is an excerpt of the Boston – Milwaukee game Preview
"Rivers said that Rondo and Garnett are expected to be in the lineup Thursday.
Rondo recorded double-digit assists in 23 straight games before missing the last three contests. He had 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 102-96 home win over Milwaukee on Feb. 29.
Garnett, who missed three of the last five games, has totaled 41 points and 20 rebounds in two against the Bucks this season.
Milwaukee (31-34), which will fall short of the playoffs for the second straight season, looks to avoid a fourth consecutive road defeat to the Celtics.
The Bucks hope to bounce back from a 90-85 home loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. Brandon Jennings had 19 points and rookie Tobias Harris added 15 with 13 rebounds as the Bucks fell despite holding the 76ers to 35.6 percent shooting.
Injuries have plagued the Bucks again this season. They dressed nine players Wednesday and could again be without key players Monta Ellis (hand), Carlos Delfino (groin) and Ersan Ilyasova (knee) in the finale.
Jennings, who played with a sore eye suffered in Monday's 92-86 win over Toronto, is averaging a career-high 19.2 points in his third season and 25.2 in the last five games.
"I just wanted to play because I just love the game," Jennings said. "It doesn't matter to me. I get up to play basketball. It's my job. I have to still be a professional and finish the season."
He's been held to 9.0 points per game on 35.0 percent shooting in Milwaukee's last four trips to Boston."

Buddy Grizzard – Ivan need to starte and guard KG in the series.
Teague vs Rondo – Rondo
Joe vs Avery – Joe
Josh vs Paul – Josh
Ivan vs KG – KG
Collins vs Bass – Even

vava, I agree. But playing doesn't ensure that he will be effective. If he is 80%+, then fine. But we won't know until Sunday's game.

Observation Deck!
I surmise, Boston will win tonight with Milwaukee sitting Montae, Delfino and. Ilyasova.
Tonight , is a MUST win for the hobbled Hawks, without Pargo.

"Collins vs Bass – Even" – LMBAO!!!
"The Hawks are playing possum with Zaza's injury.

I think we'll see a good bit of Josh guarding KG and Marvin guarding Pierce.
April 26th, 2012

Zaza has lost a ton of conditioning.
April 26th, 2012
3:39 pm
Oh boy… Pargo out too this Sunday?..Wow….His long range sharp shooting will be sorely missed…
Who will take up the slack while ISO is being harassed by Agent 0 Jr and then the ISO shut down specialist in Peitrus?
April 26th, 2012

So Boston is going for it tonight then. OK. Hawks need to play to win then. Eliminate the possibility of a Game 7 in Boston Garden, and have them come to Philips.
April 26th, 2012

Peitrus will be attached to Joe's jock in this series..
April 26th, 2012

Where did it say that Pargo is out Sunday? It says he's out for the Mavs game tonight…
April 26th, 2012

Must WIN TONIGHT is an understatement of the year thus far?

LOL at the Marvin Williams lovefest.
"If you were to look at that draft today, here is how those players may rank:
1) Chris Paul
2) Deron Williams
3) Monta Ellis ( taken in 2nd round . . and could've been taken by the Hawks instead of Salim )
4) Danny Granger
5) David Lee
6) Andrew Bynum ( and rapidly going up this list )
7) Andrew Bogut
8] Raymond Felton
9) Marvin Williams
10) Jarrett Jack"
You forgot about Brandon Bass, Marcin Gortat, Louis Williams, Jason Maxiell, Channing Frye, Andray Blatche and Charlie Villanueva. No team that has any other these players would trade them straight up for Marvin Williams, even with some of these players attitude and off the court issues.
Why do you keep posting PER like that means something. PER does not take in to account how many wide open shots he misses. PER does not record how long the invisble cloaking device stays on. PER does not show how clumsy he is. Zaza in injured right now because Marvin fell into him. PER does not show how teams leave him and go double Josh and Joe with his man, and he can't take advantage of it. PER does not show how he is 6′10, 245 with a 7 foot wingspan, and can't post Randy Foye, PER does not show how Carmelo Anthony went right at his chest everytime Marvin guarded him, and Marvin gives him props in the paper after the game, PER does not show how he has performed below his bad season averages against all of the playoff teams in the east except for 2 teams all year, PER does not show how many times he gets his shot blocked by the bottom of the rim, or in traffic, PER does not show how many blown 3point plays he has because he is not strong enough to finish once he is fouled, PER does not show how many big free throws (which was once his strength) he has missed this year, PER does not show how any walking, breathing basketball players came come to the Hawks, and move ahead of the pecking order over Marvin (See, Jamal Crawford, Flip Murray, Ivan Johnson, Pargo, Willie Green, TMac, K Hinrich).
April 26th, 2012
3:47 pm
Can somebody (MC/Vivlamore) suggest this lineup for LD?
Teague(Rondo), Joe(Bradley), Marvin(Pierce), Ivan(Bass), Josh(Garnet)
Kirk(Ray Allen) and whatever on the rest.
If they start Collins, I will refuse to watch the series! Screw wasting my time on that lump of turd. He can't guard KG.
This lineup is set up without ZaZa of course.
To be honest with you, if Zaza doesn't start… it might help the Hawks. He usually does a horrible job guarding perimeter shooters and KG was lighting his butt up. That's why LD took him out of the end of the game and put Josh on him in the previous games(1 and 2).

Hawaii's Top Employers 2013: Toshiba Business Solutions
(From left to right) Back row: Jeff Vierra, Keith Ischer, Michael Koran, Bradley Griffin, Blake Gammel
Writer: Faith Geronimo
"Leading Innovation" … the tagline of Toshiba Business Solutions not only describes us as a technology company, it also provides a glimpse into our company culture. Toshiba's management and employees innovate to differentiate beyond their product offerings. It makes for an exciting work environment in which employees are recognized as the key to the company's success. It's what makes Toshiba a great place to work.
"Today, technology is available to everyone and changing rapidly. It's the great equalizer. Your competitor can have a similar offering. We constantly ask ourselves: What will get the customer to partner with us … stay with us? Without a doubt, our biggest and most important differentiator is the employee," says President Renee Gomes.
Incorporated in 1993 as Hawaii Business Equipment, Toshiba is reknown in the copier industry for exemplary customer service and business practices. This is achieved through continuous training, a genuine interest in learning from feedback, corporate citizenship and providing a strong extended ohana.
Toshiba has continuously provided training that facilitates transformation both professionally and personally, since the 1980s. And year after year, the company sees the benefits as employees use their training to infuse the company with ideas that enhance the customer's experience and loyalty.
The company places a high value on customer feedback and uses it to improve operations. Employees at Toshiba take pride in participating in cross-departmental Kaizen groups because over the years they have seen many of their inspirations become reality, creating job satisfaction and a sense of ownership.
Team Kokua is the company's Kaizen group that coordinates fundraising activities and the selection of charitable organizations that the company will work with. Employees at Toshiba look forward to community service opportunities because they know it makes a difference and it's fun.
Leigh-Ann Iha, Vice President of Finance/Administration, describes an organizational culture that deeply values and supports families. "We understand that life does not just revolve around work. Employees know that if something is going on or if there is an emergency, we are always there to help in any way we can."
Add in great pay, generous benefits and schedule flexibility and it's easy to see why Toshiba makes the Best Places to Work list, but Gomes is clear on why she thinks Toshiba is a great place to work. "It's the employees. Management provides the foundation and frame to build a house … then they turn it into a skyscraper."

"Antico Fiore goes social!" is the new motto this season. But what exactly does this mean that an Hotel intensifies its presence in social networks?
The need of voyagers and has become increasingly delicate, 15 years ago, when there was the boom of accommodation in Venice, it was enough to make a sparkling and animated web site and the game was made, the customer was charmed by sequins and reserved.
Then if the reality was different was not a proble for the hotel, because the market was growing and, they said, full of other visitors.
We've seen arise close to us hundreds of structures that have closed because in the end, what counts for a structure is hospitality not a nice website.
Today travellers communicate, write and hold, offer tips and tricks and also read obviusly and inform on the net before they book, because they want what they spend for staying in Venice has the most value.
Here is that it is important for us to keep in touch with our guests, to continue the dialogue that we have established during your stay, in order not to lose sight of, not to feel a little parenthesis of a few days but a lasting experience, which will remain in the memories of a trip.
Facebook is the easiest way to achieve all this, leveraging on words such as "like", "friendship" and "sharing", words that unite, words that cement relationships that you create many kilometers away.
So we invite all those who simply visit our website to sign up to our FACEBOOk page, also because we often offer coupons, we have fun with some games and learn to know each other and stay in touch.

Longtime 'Bold and the Beautiful' player passes

"I am saddened to learn of the passing of Ron Weaver," said "The Bold and the Beautiful" showrunner Bradley Bell.

Before moving into the soap biz, Weaver spent 13 years with Children's Television Workshop, climbing to Director of Operations and Production Services. During his tenure with CTW, Weaver helped launch "Sesame Street," "The Electric Company," "3-2-1 Contact," "Feeling Good" and "The Best of Families," as well as the international co-productions of "Sesame Street" in Latin America.
Born on June 9, 1937, Weaver was drawn to entertainment from childhood. After a two-year stint in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, he moved to New York City to build an acting career. He spent 20 year as a performer and photographer, studying under Lee Strasberg, before transitioning into production. One of his early gigs behind the camera was writing and producing for the documentary series "Eye on New York."
In 2010, Weaver also released his first novel, "Soul Mates." "The Bold and the Beautiful" castmembers supported his book launch with readings at local bookstores. (Click to watch video of Ronn Moss, Lesli Kay and Lesley-Anne Down sharing Weaver's work.)

A private funeral service will be held in Encino. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Three Rivers Lions Club (P.O. Box 134, Three Rivers, MI 49093) or AIDS Project Los Angeles.
"The Bold and the Beautiful" airs weekdays on CBS.
I agree with the other lady the show has taken a turn for the worse...no storyline except Liam,Steffy and Hope and they have beat this story to death all the way around!
It used to be fun to watch but no real storys going on sunless the one I previously noted and the Brooke,Taylor saga.The yneed to seriously think about something else to keep us loyal viewers as I too have watched the show since it started.
