So if I find myself in an emergency situation and pick up one of the new phones at the Odell Weeks track, will ADPS know how to locate me or will I have to give them directions and hope that I survive the 20-minute wait for them to arrive?
Nursing homes
Nursing homes need to follow along with SRS, instead of paying employees for their time.
Strange indeed
Its strange indeed that SRNS was told after the election to take a vacation. Strange indeed.
The only thing good that came out of that compassionate speech of Obama to the people of Hurricane Sandy was it got him some votes. He could really care less.
Tax hack
I, too, have frustration about our taxes being hacked. I, too, tried many days to get on the website, and it didnt work. I called the number to get instructions again. By some miracle I got someone on the phone and gave them my information. He gave me Protect ID direct, which is (866) 252-0121. I hope that helps the rest of you.
This is a message for Nikki Haley. She ran all over the country with Mitt Romney trying to make him the president, now the states credit is in jeopardy. We need a new governor, one who stays in the state and doesnt run behind a loser.
It was good presentation on the plans for the lane expansion of the Hitchcock Parkway 118 bypass, but I fail to see any inclusion of sidewalks or street lighting or bicycle lanes or anything like that.
Good job
Im calling to thank the three students we had at Precinct 44 with our voting Tuesday, and want to let them know what a wonderful job they did and how proud we are that students are getting involved in elections at a young age.
Nice people
There are still nice people left in the world. My daughter and I were at Walmart and we went over $30 on our groceries and this nice couple gave us $30 so we wouldnt have to put back our things. I just want to thank them so much, may God bless them. Theyre so wonderful.
Unfair light
I agree with the TalkBack on the East Gate Drive light. Sometimes traffic backs up on the roundabout. This light setting is very unfair.

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: If possible, select resistant varieties. Keep nitrogen-heavy fertilizers to a minimum as well as
over-irrigating as they encourage lush growth. Practice crop rotation and prune out or better yet remove infected plants. Pest : Slugs and Snails Slugs and snails favor moist climates and are mollusks, not insects.
They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that is not woody or
highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, strip entire stems, or completely
devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible,
eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.
Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the
elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and
destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk
and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can
be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.

Apply for Grants
Tips for Writing a Successful Grant Proposal
- Read Bourne and Chalupa's concise and helpful Ten Simple Rules for Getting Grants.
- Adhere to the formatting and content requirements laid out on the Web site. These requirements are inflexible. Proposals not meeting these requirements will not be considered.
- Avoid rhetoric and hyperbole. Illustrate with real instances or examples.
- For grant proposals in support of meetings or conferences, include a draft agenda, draft list of invitees, and draft letter of invitation if possible.
- Be specific about outputs and outcomes. The proposal should explicitly state expected practical, tangible outputs (such as number of students whose training or careers are affected, data collected, scientific papers produced) and outcomes (such as new knowledge, institutional strengthening, etc). BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT OUTPUTS OR OUTCOMES WOULD MAKE YOU THINK THE PROJECT HAD BEEN A SUCCESS (big sales of a book, a prize awarded for research, a government grant to continue the project, web traffic, high enrollments, better salaries, etc.).
- If the effort connects to or benefits other areas of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation interest such as DNA Barcoding, the Census of Marine Life, or the Public Understanding of Science, point this out.
- Be explicit about the duration of the project (e.g. 12 or 18 months).
- Be clear about management. Who will do what jobs and who will have what responsibilities, obligations, and powers (both carrots and sticks)?
- Make constructive use of milestones to the extent applicable (for example, include a schedule of events over time indicating when certain things should be accomplished or happen).
- Include Letters of Support if a project's success depends crucially on support of key figures other than the PI.
- Keep proposal compact in terms of total megabytes and also in terms of files into which a proposal is divided. A proposal should not come in more than 3 files (such as main proposal, appendices, budget), though a single file in .pdf format is preferred. While draft files may be sent as Word files (.doc or .docx format) to make it easy for the Foundation to return comments, finals should be sent in .pdf format.

For the fourth straight year, the City of Aiken Amateur Championship was held at Aiken Golf Club, and for the fourth straight year, the course acquitted itself as host.
This time, it was for the toughness of the rough as much as the aesthetics of the layout.
"If you hit it in the rough, you're going to have to try to play for par," said Bo McCullough, one of the competitors and organizers for the event. "You're not going to make any birdies out of the rough."
McCullough shot a 71 and tied for second with Ryan Lentz and Ron Schroder behind Chad Meldrum, who shot a 68 for a three-stroke lead after one of two rounds. That included an eagle on the roughly 480-yard, par-5 13th hole.
Meldrum said he hit a "good drive down the middle" and had about 165 yards left but missed the green. That's not the traditional way to bag an eagle on a par-5, but Meldrum managed it anyway.
"I just pulled my second shot, missed the green to the left and hit a really good chip that went in the hole," he said.
Other than that and a birdie on No. 10, it was mostly pars for Meldrum, who said that recovering from less-than-ideal approach shots was the biggest key to his 18-hole lead.
"When I missed greens, I got it up and down," he said.
Meldrum said that getting all his scoring done after the turn was nothing new at Aiken Golf Club. Despite having two of the club's three par-5s, the back nine is more than 200 yards shorter than the front.
"The back nine's my strength out here," Meldrum said. "I try to get through the front nine even par or better, and then the back nine, I do hit it a long way so I can get it up around the green from some of those holes, and then I rely on my short game."
Meldrum leads the way for the men's draw, but there are four other gender or age groups competing for their own championship, not to mention the lower flights of the men's division. Glen Hurt and Billy Rangos led the senior men at 74, and Dick Korzen and Nick Walker shot 70 to pace the super seniors. Alex Skiff shot a 77 to lead the junior boys.
South Aiken freshman Anna Freeman was playing with defending ladies' champion Julia Fountain and took the lead for the ladies at the halfway point with an 81 while Fountain shot an 84.
Freeman was excited about her result and said she was feeling confident after a solid putting performance.
"I've always just been really good at reading the greens," she said.
That's saying something because the men's overall leader cited the greens as one of the most difficult parts of the course.
"It was awesome," Meldrum said. "The greens were tough, the pins were tucked in some difficult positions, and it was just a tough day."
Defending champion Brian Quackenbush, who beat McCullough in a 12-hole playoff a year ago, shot a 74. Patrick Cunning, winner of the first two City of Aiken Amateur Championships, shot a 72.
Meldrum, McCullough and Schroder will finish things up today with a 2 p.m. tee time. Play will begin with threesomes, except for the day's opening twosome at 8 a.m.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.

The media recently presented news articles and opinion letters commenting on Mixed Oxide Fuel Facility project cost overruns that were identified earlier this year. The MOX project is a key part of the United States' program to permanently prevent plutonium from dismantled nuclear weapons (so-called weapons-grade plutonium) from ever again being used in a nuclear weapon.
The MOX facility turns swords into plowshares by making fuel elements for commercial nuclear power reactors from a mixture of weapons-grade plutonium and uranium (MOX fuel), and by using the MOX fuel elements in a commercial nuclear power reactor. By using the MOX fuel elements in a nuclear reactor, the weapons-grade plutonium is permanently changed and rendered unusable for future use in a nuclear weapon.
Some of the items reported in the media are factual; other items are platforms to espouse long-standing anti-MOX and anti-nuclear positions. I know of no one who enjoys cost overruns, especially an overrun that is borne by the taxpayer. However, there is a very positive "good news" side to the MOX story that has not been reported and which needs to be told.
• Good news No. 1: MOX is three years away from completion of construction and five years away from producing its first fuel element – and every day thereafter, the MOX plant will produce enough fuel elements to permanently destroy the amount of weapons-grade plutonium contained in one nuclear warhead or bomb. One day equals one less bomb.
• Good news No. 2: The Russian Federation has agreed to destroy an amount of weapons-grade plutonium equal to that destroyed by the United States; and the Russian facilities are now also under construction. If the United States does not destroy its weapons plutonium, neither will the Russians; but fortunately that is not the case. This means one day will equal two less bombs.
• Good news No. 3: A portion of the recent overrun resulted from an increase in the MOX facility's capability that reduced costs elsewhere. By increasing the MOX facility's capability and by modifying and making use of other existing DOE facilities (including the Savannah River Site's H Canyon), the planned need for a separate $4 billion Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility has been eliminated. The total cost to the taxpayer for destroying more than 8,000 bombs worth of weapons-grade plutonium has gone down. Kudos to the Department of Energy, Shaw/AREVA MOX, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions and the Los Alamos National Laboratory for this innovative and cost-saving change.
• Good news No. 4: The oft-forgot positive track record of perseverance and performance since the Surplus Plutonium Disposition program was first approved in 2000. This program consisted of three major facilities, expected to cost several billion dollars each. Today, after 13 years, the same program objectives will be delivered by one highly capable major facility for $7 billion, an amount approximately equal to the estimates made 13 years and innumerable external delays ago.
So, instead of throwing rocks because of the recent cost overrun, we should be sending the Department of Energy and MOX bouquets for performing an important, difficult and controversial job in a very safe manner, with high quality and within a cost estimate established more than 10 years ago. The nation needs more projects managed as well as MOX.
I congratulate the DOE and the MOX team.
Ernie Chaput had a 35-year career with the Department of Energy and its predecessor agencies, with positions throughout the United States; spending the past 18 years at the Savannah River Site. He served as deputy manager for the Department of Energy at SRS when he retired in 1996.

BB guns
Several TalkBacks have spoken to the hazards of BB guns. Who do you report new hazards to? We live in Woodside and have two guns in our area. We hear there are several guns in use in Cedar Creek. We hear there is someone using a BB gun next to Hopelands Gardens where a lot of people with children are in the park. Kids, cats and dogs are in the neighborhoods and are exposed to this hazard. Eye losses are permanent and the BB guns need to be controlled. Where do you turn these people in? We want to get some action now.
Chukker traffic
I agree that the traffic for car line at Chukker Creek is a problem that needs resolution. However, I question why it exists. How does the percentage of bus riders at this school compare to the other elementary schools in Aiken County? Could the low percentage of bus riders be due to the fact that Chukker Creek is the only elementary school in the Aiken County Public School district that is not a Title 1 school? And why is it that this school is zoned for Title 1 exemption? When Mossy Creek was built in North Augusta, the school district rezoned to ensure that the new school would receive Title 1 funds. Why has this not happened for Chukker Creek? Could the low percentage of bus riders also be due to the fact that many East Aiken-zoned students use the elementary school choice option to zone out of East Aiken and attend Chukker Creek? Why is this happening? Lastly, who is funding the extension of the school's driveway? Is it Chukker Creek's PTO? Aiken County School District? The City of Aiken?
I, along with many other senior citizens, have just been notified by one of my doctors that she won't be handling Medicare patients anymore. What will happen if all physicians take this stance? Is this the first step in Obama and Pelosi's "groundbreaking, long overdue" medical care program? How does this help any of us?
Hearing Obama outline his goals for his second term paints a rather dismal picture for the future of the country. His core focus continues to be expanding entitlements with no dedicated plan on fixing the country's economic problems. As he increases unchecked government spending, we will move closer and closer to the problems faced by our socialist neighbors across the ocean. Get ready to hunker down, troubled times await us.

Stubbs or Dickerson?
Can't complain about another fine day in Houston, especially when I know the air will likely feel more oppressive the next time the Reds visit.
I did a lot of walking around downtown today and checked out the Tunnels below the city. It's a lot like the skywalk in Cincinnati, only underground and far more elaborate. If you loath fresh air and sunlight, but love an endless array of small shops and fast food courts, then the tunnel is your kind of spot. I had lunch above ground.
The question of the day: Many of you love playing manager and bickering over Dusty Baker's lineup. Here's a more specific challenge. You only get to pick who bats leadoff — who do you go with?
This is one instance where Baker has little wiggle room based on the results.
Drew Stubbs: .150 AVG/.268 OBP/23 strikeouts
Since snapping his 0-for-20 skid on Thursday, is 1-for-14, including 0-for-3 w/2 Ks last night.
Chris Dickerson: .244/.262 OBP/17 strikeouts
Is 2-for-his-last 14.
Both players are super fast and can create havoc on the bases. The problem is that neither are getting on enough for a leadoff guy. Yet, the Reds have few other choices in-house. Someone suggested Orlando Cabrera, but he's their best RBI man right now.
For now at least, Baker really has no choice but to keep running both of them out there until someone figures something out.
Remember the 2007 season when former manager Jerry Narron tried using Scott Hatteberg as a leadoff man?
Follow me on Twitter at

With the struggles of Stubbs and Dickerson, it would appear that the only other real alternative at lead-off is Orlando Cabrera. I just don't see any other alternative at this time of the season, but you can't continue to run Stubbs out there everyday if his average continues to hover at .150, despite his good defense.
With the struggles of Stubbs and Dickerson, it would appear that the only other real alternative at lead-off is Orlando Cabrera. I applaud Dusty for finally moving BP out of the 4-hole, and with no real options at Louisville right now, Dusty has nothing to lose by moving OCab to lead-off, right? Then, you could move a Stubbs/Dickerson platoon to eighth to protect them and see if either one of them can break out of their slump. I just don't see any other alternatives at this time of the season, but you can't continue to run Stubbs out there everyday if his average continues to hover at .150, despite his good defense.
Here's a whackadoodle idea. Use Hanigan as a lead-off. He's batting .483 with a .559 OBP. Of course, that only works on days Hernandez doesn't catch. I know it's crazy. I'm just spitballin' here.
I bet Paul Janish could get the job done. Problem is there is no where to put him right now. I think when he does get a start a week you need to lead him off though. I like Phillips and I want him to turn it around but if he continues to show signs of being lazy and not paying attention and only batting in the low .200's, I'm sure Janish could play better and pay attention every second. But as far as Stubbs and Dickerson, I think you just have to keep doing what you are doing and hope one of them gets going, sad but true.
I think Stubbs is your guy. He has the speed and can hit left and right handed pitching, he just hasn't done it consistently yet this season.
Stubbs also has home run power which goes a long way in GABP.
Dickerson is a great guy to have to run for Hanigan/Hernandez/Gomes late in the game.
By looking at the past, I would choose Dickerson as our leadoff man. I know he is off to a bad start, but he was last year too and like alot of our other players ie..Cabrera and Phillips, he will once again get going soon. Stubbs is a great Center Fielder and should also play, but not as a leadoff hitter, maybe a number 9 hitter, huh?
Gomes. Bat Jonny leadoff. HAHA only kidding. I like trying the Hanigan idea, and even Janish, when they are there…just to see. They might not be the base stealing types, but you can only steal after you reach first. lol For the most part, I say stick with Stubbs/Dickerson, depending on who is in. If both are in, go with Chris leading off and put Drew further down, at least until Drew gets into a good groove.
oh, and thanks for sharing about the tunnels! I had no idea they had something like that in Houston. Very cool!
If the theory is that you have your best hitter 3rd, then you need OPS hogs ahead of him. Regardless of position or other factors. Without the career numbers in front of me, I assume a guys like Rolen and OCab are good at that. For me, OCab is my leadoff 3rd-Votto 4th- Rolen (as Veteran=Clutch.
I believe you sit them both and use Nix for a couple of games to just let them know that no performance means, no play.
I think Dusty has figured out 2-3-4 with Phillips, Votto, and Rolen. For leadoff, if I had to pick between OBP and speed, I'll take OBP. If either Stubbs or Dickerson start getting on base, problem solved. I'd bet on both of them. If not, Cabrera/Janish. And also if not, I think we need to move Bruce to CF and use Francisco, Gomes, Nix in L & R.
I believe both should sit and Bruce should play center for a few games. Put Nix in left and Gomes in right or vice versa. That then gives you three guys in the outfield who hit double figures last year in home runs. Bat Nix lead off. Maybe if both Stubbs and Dickerson see that if they don't produce they won't get to play, maybe it will shake one of them up enough that they might try harder. Neither one is hitting the ball where it is pitched. Each seems to want to try to pull the outside pitch and then they turn their wrists over too soon and ground out weakly to shortstop. Where is the hitting coach????????????

Whether you are looking for a short break in Devon, or to escape for a week or two, you'll discover plenty of arts, theatre, history and culture. Exeter is home to a wonderful mix of museums and galleries, many of which are free to visit.

Ever since I first saw the trailer for the movie Sucker Punch I was dying to do a video on the makeup in it, no joke. I love the visuals of the movies Zack Snyder has directed before (Watchmen and 300) and I've been impatiently waiting for this movie to come out for months, so I'm totally stoked to share this one with you. You guys know how excited I get when something new features really interesting makeup and this movie is no exception. ;)
One of the coolest things about this movie is that it is very heavily influenced by Asians and Asian-Americans including 2 of the main actresses, Jamie Chung who is Korean American and Vanessa Hudgens who is Chinese-Filipino American, and also the Japanese American Screenwriter Steve Shibuya, Chinese American cinematographer Larry Fong, and Chinese American editor William Hoy. Did I also mention there are giant robotic samurai in this movie? Oh yeah. Asians represent! ^_^V

So I'll start off by showing you my outfit. The garrison cap is borrowed from my grandpa-in-law. He is a Korean War veteran and it's from his old Summer uniform, so it actually means a lot to me that he let me use it for the tutorial. We've had some talks about what Korea was like then and what it's like now in contrast. So much has changed, it's quite fascinating.
The military jacket is from PacSun and the harness is made from suspenders worn backwards because I'm quirky like that. ;) This shot was actually one I didn't mean to take when I was setting up my camera to take test shots. Yay for candids.
This is in the midst of my trying to find ways to pose with the sucker without it looking...wrong. LOL.

DENVER � The Colorado Energy Office was so sloppy with the way it kept track of millions of dollars in stimulus money that it can�t prove the spending did any good, according to a harsh audit of the office released Tuesday.
The office, formerly known as the Governor�s Energy Office, was responsible for spending $144 million in money Congress sent through the stimulus bill starting in 2009. Money went to clean-energy projects such as home weatherization and loans to start up energy companies. But the office was unprepared to handle such a large amount of money, and its managers did a poor job of monitoring the contracts they signed with private firms to complete the green-energy work.
�CEO ultimately can�t demonstrate that it is working cost-effectively or that the work it is doing is valuable,� said Vickie Heller, who works for the State Auditor�s Office and presented the report Tuesday.
The office didn�t keep an annual budget for any of its 34 programs from 2007 to 2012, and when auditors reviewed a sample of 22 of the agency�s contracts, they found that 20 of them were missing information that government agencies are required to monitor.
The energy office has found itself at the center of controversy for years. Last year, Gov. John Hickenlooper pushed legislators to expand its mission to promote all forms of energy, not just the clean-energy projects favored by his predecessor, Gov. Bill Ritter.
�To me, over the last four, five, six years, this office appears to be a prime example of arrogance in government, of how government can go wrong,� said Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, a member of the Legislative Audit Committee.
Republicans on the committee blamed Ritter, not Hickenlooper. Both are Democrats.
�Under the Ritter administration, the energy office was the governor�s slush fund,� said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction. �The idea that you have eight program managers and none of them could identify a budget or spending, it was apparent that there weren�t best practices under the previous administration.�
But Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman of Denver said Hickenlooper is starting his third year, but the office is without a permanent director.
�If I start a job, and I�ve been on it for two years, it seems to me I should have some outcomes giving me reason to continue to be there,� Guzman said.
The hearing had undertones of federal energy scandals. Companies such as Solyndra and Abound Solar went bankrupt after they got hefty loan guarantees from the stimulus bill.
The Colorado Energy Office also operates a $16.4 million revolving-loan program, and the auditors found that over a two-year period, 23 monthly reports were never filed.
However, none of the companies that got Colorado loans have gone out of business, CEO officials said.
Hickenlooper�s administration is working to correct the problems by July. His deputy chief of staff, Kevin Patterson, is the office�s interim chief.
�Some of these things aren�t really pleasant for us to hear, but I think they�re important for us to hear,� Patterson said.
The office has endured a lot of turnover among its 34 employees.
Seven of the eight program managers have left since Hickenlooper became governor, Patterson said. Some left because they did not want to be part of the new direction Hickenlooper had set for the office.
Stimulus funding for the office is running out, and last year the Legislature voted to revamp the office, make it smaller and set up long-term funding that doesn�t rely on heavy federal support.

An Aiken man was detained for disorderly conduct after someone reportedly saw him lying on the ground near York Street with his pants down, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Joshua Randall Weeks, 35, of Weeks Road, was charged with disorderly conduct and driving under suspension. He was placed in the Aiken County detention center and later released.
According to a report, officers responded to the Advance Auto Parts store on York Street about 5:30 p.m. on Saturday for a possible indecent exposure and found Weeks walking from the side of the building fully dressed.
The complainant reported seeing Weeks "in the middle of pulling his pants up" and lying on the ground, according to the report.
Officers asked Weeks why he was lying on the ground with his pants down, and he said he was attempting to go to the bathroom, according to the report. Additionally, he said he wasn't lying on the ground but was checking his rear tire. Officers asked Weeks for his license, and he told them it was suspended, according to the report. Weeks appeared to be under the influence of some type of drug and exhibited signs of intoxication.
An intravenous needle was found lying on the ground near a tire on Weeks' vehicle, according to the report. An officer removed Weeks' young children from the area, went back to speak with him and noticed that the needle was gone.
Weeks later told officers he took some of his wife's methadone, according to the report. When asked about the needle, Weeks denied ever having one. The children's mother was contacted after they were removed from the scene, according to Sgt. Jake Mahoney, a spokesman for Aiken Public Safety. They were later released to her custody.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Christian Hackenberg threw two touchdown passes in his first college game and the freshman led Penn State to 23-17 victory against Syracuse on Saturday.
Hackenberg went 22 for 31 for 278 yards with two interceptions and became the second freshman to start a Penn State opener at quarterback since 1910.
The 18-year-old blue chip recruit hit Eugene Lewis with a deep pass down the middle and the receiver reached into the end zone for a 54-yard score that made it 23-10 with 11:39 left in the fourth quarter. Hackenberg also hooked up with Allen Robinson on a 51-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Robinson, Penn State's leading receiver last season, unexpectedly did not play in the first half, but finished with seven catches for 133 yards.
Oklahoma transfer Drew Allen got the start at quarterback for new Syracuse coach Scott Shafer, and finished 16 for 37 for 189 yards.
BOSTON — Boston College gave new coach Steve Addazio the victory he was hoping for and plenty of things for him to yell about during the week.
"I just wanted to have some good moments happen for the team. They came off a very disappointing season," Addazio said after the Eagles overcame a slow start to beat Villanova 24-14 on Saturday. "We have a lot of work to do. We know what we've got ahead of us."
Alex Amidon had 13 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown, and Chase Retting completed 23 of 30 passes for 285 yards and two TDs for BC. Andre Williams ran for 114 yards on 23 carries for the Eagles (1-0).
BC lost its last four games last season to finish with double-digits in losses for just the second time in school history. Coach Frank Spaziani was fired, and Addazio was brought up from Temple to turn things around.
It took a half longer than expected.
John Robertson ran for 94 yards and passed for 158 more for Villanova (0-1). Jamal Abdur-Rahman caught one TD pass and had a 47-yard touchdown run on a fake punt on the game's opening drive. The Wildcats, a top 10 team in the Football Championship Subdivision, also led 14-7 before Boston College scored the next 17 points.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — C.J. Brown celebrated his return from injury with a marvelous performance, throwing for three touchdowns and running for two scores to lead Maryland over Florida International 43-10 Saturday.
Brown missed all of last year after tearing his left ACL in preseason practice. The senior made up for lost time during a torrid first half, completing 15 of 16 passes and running for 99 yards to help the Terrapins (1-0) go up 40-10.
Brown finished 20 for 23 for 281 yards passing and ran for 105 yards on 11 carries before being removed in the third quarter. His touchdown runs were 29 and 11 yards, and he threw for scores of 25, 17 and 66 yards.
Playing its first game under coach Ron Turner, Florida International (0-1) gave up 399 yards before halftime and managed only 59 yards and three first downs over the opening 30 minutes.
Panthers quarterback Jake Medlock went 5 for 15 for 26 yards before Turner mercifully took him out of the game in the third quarter.
Coming off a 4-8 season that ended with six straight defeats,
RALEIGH, N.C. — Freshman Matt Dayes ran for 84 yards and three touchdowns to help North Carolina State beat Louisiana Tech 40-14 on Saturday in its first game under coach Dave Doeren.
Tony Creecy also scored for the Wolfpack (1-0), who scored the first 24 points with Doeren's no-huddle offense and led comfortably all afternoon.
Still, an early left foot injury to starting quarterback Brandon Mitchell put a damper on the afternoon. Mitchell, who beat out Pete Thomas for the job during training camp, broke a bone in his foot after directing N.C. State to touchdowns on its first two possessions.
Mitchell left midway through the opening quarter, then returned to the sideline late in the half on crutches and wearing a protective boot. Doeren said Mitchell could miss 4-6 weeks and will have surgery Sunday.
Kenneth Dixon ran for 118 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs (0-1), who lost their first game under coach Skip Holtz.
Thomas threw for 212 yards on 15-for-27 passing after Mitchell's injury,
DURHAM, N.C. — Brandon Connette threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Duke earned its first shutout in 24 years with a season-opening 45-0 rout of North Carolina Central on Saturday.
Jamison Crowder returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown, starting QB Anthony Boone had a 1-yard touchdown run and Jela Duncan added a 3-yard scoring run.
Connette -- his backup and short-yardage specialist -- ran 1 yard for a touchdown, threw an early 3-yard TD pass to Braxton Deaver and added a late 19-yard scoring pass to Isaac Blakeney.
Duke led 28-0 before N.C. Central crossed midfield, scoring touchdowns four straight times it touched the ball while cruising to its most lopsided victory under sixth-year coach David Cutcliffe.
The Blue Devils outgained the Eagles 488-184 in their first shutout since Steve Spurrier's final Duke team blanked rival North Carolina 41-0 in 1989.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Kevin Parks ran 13 yards for a touchdown with 2:36 to play Saturday night and Virginia beat BYU 19-16 in a wild season-opener that had a 2-hour weather delay.
Parks' run came one play after Anthony Harris intercepted a tipped pass from Taysom Hill and then flipped the ball to teammate Henry Coley, who was running alongside and carried it to the 13.
BYU got the ball back and drove quickly from its 8 to its 41, but Hill threw four consecutive incompletions, badly overthrowing his receiver on the final one, and the Cavaliers held on.
Only minutes earlier, Hill seemed like the hero when he dove one yard for a go-ahead touchdown, capping a 92-yard, 11-play drive against a new-look Virginia defense that had been solid.
Jamaal Williams gained 144 yards on 33 carries for BYU while Hill was 13 for 40 for 175 yards with an interception.

LONDON � A record-breaking cyberattack targeting an anti-spam watchdog group has sent ripples of disruption coursing across the Web, experts said Wednesday.
Spamhaus, a site responsible for keeping ads for counterfeit Viagra and bogus weight-loss pills out of the world�s inboxes, said it had been buffeted by the monster denial-of-service attack since mid-March, apparently from groups angry at being blacklisted by the Swiss-British group.
�It is a small miracle that we�re still online,� Spamhaus researcher Vincent Hanna said.
Denial-of-service attacks overwhelm a server with traffic � like hundreds of letters being jammed through a mail slot at the same time. Security experts measure those attacks in bits of data per second. Recent cyberattacks � such as the ones that caused persistent outages at U.S. banking sites late last year � have tended to peak at 100 billion bits per second.
But the furious assault on Spamhaus has shattered the charts, clocking in at 300 billion bits per second, according to San Francisco-based CloudFlare Inc., which Spamhaus has enlisted to help it weather the attack.
�It was likely quite a bit more, but at some point measurement systems can�t keep up,� CloudFlare chief executive Matthew Prince wrote in an email.
Patrick Gilmore of Akamai Technologies said that was no understatement.
�This attack is the largest that has been publicly disclosed � ever � in the history of the Internet,� he said.
It�s unclear who exactly was behind the attack, although a man who identified himself as Sven Olaf Kamphuis said he was in touch with the attackers and described them as mainly consisting of disgruntled Russian Internet service providers who had found themselves on Spamhaus� blacklists. There was no immediate way to verify his claim.
He accused the watchdog of arbitrarily blocking content that it did not like. Spamhaus has widely used and constantly updated blacklists of sites that send spam.
�They abuse their position not to stop spam but to exercise censorship without a court order,� Kamphuis said.
Gilmore and Prince said the attack�s perpetrators had taken advantage of weaknesses in the Internet�s infrastructure to trick thousands of servers into routing a torrent of junk traffic to Spamhaus every second.
The trick, called �DNS reflection,� works a little bit like mailing requests for information to thousands of different organizations with a target�s return address written across the back of the envelopes. When all the organizations reply at once, they send a landslide of useless data to the unwitting addressee.
Both experts said the attack�s sheer size has sent ripples of disruptions across the Internet as servers moved mountains of junk traffic back and forth across the Web.
�At a minimum there would have been slowness,� Prince said, adding in a blog post that �if the Internet felt a bit more sluggish for you over the last few days in Europe, this may be part of the reason why.�
At the London Internet Exchange, where service providers exchange traffic across the globe, spokesman Malcolm Hutty said his organization had seen �a minor degree of congestion in a small portion of the network.�
But he said it was unlikely that any ordinary users had been affected by the attack.
Hanna said his site had so far managed to stay online, but warned that being knocked off the Internet could give spammers an opening to step up their mailings � which may mean more fake lottery announcements and pitches for penny stocks heading to people�s inboxes.
Hanna denied claims that his organization had behaved arbitrarily, noting that his group would lose its credibility if it started flagging benign content as spam.
�We have 1.7 billion people who watch over our shoulder,� he said. �If we start blocking emails that they want, they will obviously stop using us.�
Gilmore of Akamai was also dismissive of the claim that Spamhaus was biased.
�Spamhaus� reputation is sterling,� he said.

ORLANDO, Fla. The Hurricane Junior Golf Tours 2012 season came to an end last weekend at the Tour Championship. ChampionsGate Golf Resort was the host site for the biggest event of the season, and South Aiken High School senior Taylor Dodson was one of the top finishers.
Competing in the Girls 15-18 Division, Dodson tied for second place with Emmy Martin of Odessa, Fla. They were six strokes behind Columbias Camilla Serrano. Both Dodson and Martin finished the tournament with a two day total of 3-over par 147. Dodson, who has won four tournaments and also has four second place finishes on the HJGT this year, was very consistent throughout the front nine in the second round as she was at even par. She wasnt able to finish strong, as she bogeyed three of her last five holes. Despite her struggles, it should be noted that Dodson finished in the top 5 in both the Par 4 and 5 Performances with averages of 4.05 and 5.00 respectively.
Dodson was also the Thoroughbreds top golfer this season, and finished runner-up in the Class AAAA State Girls Golf Championship at the Country Club of Lexington. Dodson has signed to play in college for Gardner-Webb University.
It was part of a big weekend for the junior golfers, who were part of the best field of the year. The festivities began with the awards banquet, where all members of the All-HJGT Team and Players of the Year were honored, followed by two special guest speakers and then a dinner for the players and parents. Jim Thorpe, a 13-time winner on the Champions Tour, spoke to the players about how to win a golf tournament. He was followed by Dr. Bob Winters, a well-known mental conditioning coach, who talked to the players about having the right attitude on the course and in preparation as well. After all of the festivities wrapped up, it was finally time to play golf. Participants arrived early on Saturday morning to some dense fog layering the course and limiting visibility to about 75 yards. The conditions during the weekend were great for scoring and the players took full advantage of that with a low round of 68 after the first round.

Man reports scam by fake cable guy
An Aiken man reported to police that he fell victim to a man posing as a cable technician.
The victim was in the process of moving in early December when a man driving a white work van came to his home on Foxhound Road and told the victim he was a subcontractor for Atlantic Broadband, and that he was there to disconnect the service, according to the report.
The victim told officers the man disconnected his cable, collected the cable box and left the home.
Around mid-January, the victim received a bill from Atlantic Broadband, and when he called them, they told him that his service was still on and that they had not received a box or sent anyone to the home to disconnect it.
Public Safety responds to house fire
The Aiken Department of Public Safety is investigating a fire that happened at a home on Union Street on Sunday.
When officers arrived on the scene about 10:30 p.m., they found heavy fire and smoke coming from the roof and rear of the home, which appeared to be unoccupied at the time, according to the report.
The fire was brought under control just before midnight, according to the report. The incident remains under investigation, and the owner of t
he home is still unknown. The structure of the home appeared to have been in sound structural shape before the fire and appeared to be in the process of renovation.
One of the people who reported the fire told officers she saw a man wearing a red backpack come from behind the home and get onto a bicycle, according to the report. The suspect reportedly didnt ride away immediately, but fled the area quickly after he realized he was being watched.
A suspect fitting the description given by witnesses is known to ride a bicycle, sleep in abandoned homes and often has a red backpack with him, according to the report. Officers are working to locate the suspect for questioning.
Teen cited for reckless driving
An 18-year-old Aiken man was cited for reckless driving after he damaged the golf course at Houndslake Country Club by driving across it on Thursday.
A silver Ford F-150 was seen driving across the grass on the golf course and climbing the tee box at the course, according to a report by Aiken Public Safety. The driver of the vehicle spun its tires, leaving ruts in the grass.
The vehicle was stopped at the intersection of Deerwood and Troon Way, according to the report. The teenage driver told officers he was being a dumb teenager and that he made a mistake.
Woman reports purse-snatching
A 62-year-old woman reported on Monday that someone tried to snatch her purse from her while she was outside her home, according to Aiken Public Safety.
The victim told police she saw a black sedan backed into a parking space on Churchill Circle as she returned home from grocery shopping on Monday afternoon, according to the report. An unknown man approached her from the rear and grabbed her purse.
The victim told officers she struggled with the suspect and screamed, according to the report. The man then released the purse, got back into the sedan and left the parking lot traveling toward East Pine Log Road.

Time to compromise on cuts
The fiscal cliff is looming and only 45 days to avoid it. Clearly, this is not enough time to fix the tax code, specify cost reductions and areas, etc., but if we don't do something, Jan. 1 is doomsday in which we have draconian automatic across-the-board reductions, elimination of Bush tax cuts – which combine to propel us to higher unemployment and a bunch of changes nobody, regardless of party, will like.
Republicans reiterate their long-held and misguided beliefs that it is the rich who are job creators. Even if we eliminate Bush tax cuts for the very wealthy, it will only add $80 billion in revenue – a spit in a big ocean of debt. Check with Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and even Mitt Romney on how many jobs they've created in the past few years. Obama is willing to continue the Bush cuts for all but the 2 percent wealthiest Americans, and will not sign anything that takes this issue off the table.
Lots of Republicans and Democrats have another election coming up, but Obama has nothing to lose. Personally, my advice, which so far he has not requested, is stick to your guns. We cannot find $4 trillion or $5 trillion in one place, so everything has to give somewhat.
In today's world, $80 billion is chump change, but it helps. Asking the rich to help a little, rather than putting the entire burden on Romney's 47 percent of lazy, money-grubbing food stampers, runs against the grain. Opening us to the fiscal cliff realizes Republican's worst two fears – tax increases and reducing defense spending. Do it. Grover Norquist becomes a little read footnote in American history, and the tea party goes the way of the Whigs. I predict that by the end of January, the Republicans will be back at the table.

To many of us, service robots often mean robots that assist the elderly, or help with the rehabilitation of medical patients. But the range of services that robots can perform is extremely broad. Some are involved in agricultural tasks that are either dangerous or rough on humans, such as weed-pulling and harvesting crops. Others collect trash and garbage, or work in recycling to sort waste from usable, reclaimable materials.
In security and law enforcement, there are simple robots that autonomously "walk" a beat looking for sensor readings that raise an alarm, as well as telepresence robots that can give disabled police or veterans jobs as remote patrol officers. Other robots, shaped like fish, swim in schools to detect polluting chemicals in seawater, and one robot is being developed to go into orbit as a combined mobile gas station and spacecraft mechanic.

Come on Clips! Close these guys out.
Feed the ball to Blake.
Blake with 5 fouls. Ugh.
The Clippers have too many shooters for the Hawks to be able to double team Blake. No way Milsap can guard Blake one on one.
Hack-a-DJ begins.
Doc calls the timeout just in time to keep DJ from getting hacked.
This game can't end fast enough.
Let's go DJ !
Hack time
Can't wait until we can play granger at the end of games.
Barnes corner 3's have been great, but because
of his lack of a mid range game everything is
blake on the inside or perimeter.
I hate this hack - a - DJ
I don't know why but I just get such a kick out of seeing granger in a clippers uni. I have always liked him
Awesome play by Blake.
That is freak power.
Blake = clutch!
That's Lebron like for Blake
Blake f***** Griffin!
Maybe it has something to do with how Granger should have been a Clipper all along if not for Dumbleavy.
Blake is tired.
Dam this shouldn't be close.
Gutsy shot by CP
CP3 with the clutch basket!
OMG, 2-point game. Crazy. Could the Clippers let this slip by them! Please no.
Our defense in this game has been pretty bad to say the least
Ugh now they have our Jj Reddick in Kyle Korver. Come on Clips. Id put Granger in for some length to contest Korver.
This game shouldn't be close
Man about time.
47.1 seconds left, Clips up 2.
It's close because of our own stupidity. Just watch, Korver will sink a three.
Great blocked by DJ
Collison so close!
Nice steal by Paul and nice job by BG to draw the foul!
DJ clutch
Blake misses the first. Let's hope he can get the second.
Are you serious Blake? ****!
Shooting ourselves in the foot, over and over again.
WOW. What a call!!!!!
Blake is not clutch lol
Dangnabit DJ.
Push off by DJ. Got caught since Teague is so small
WOW BLAKE! Way to choke
DJ screwed up big time lol
Granger for the Win!!
Honestly enough is enough with Blake's free throw,
Teague missing his first is actually worst than him tying the game for the Hawks.
Bball God loves us tonight
Just brig the ball in and it will be a victory.
Please don't Ryan Gomes this.

Jose Maria Pinto-Rosa, 6, falls ill at school, dies at hospital
Fla. boy dies near Tampa
A 6-year-old boy collapsed and died shortly after falling ill at a Tampa-area school, deputies said.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon said Jose Maria Pinto-Rosa was in the lunchroom at Cypress Creek Elementary School in Ruskin at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when he told an employee he felt sick.
The child was taken to the nurse's office.
Deputies saud the boy collapsed and school officials called 911. The kindergartner was taken to South Bay Hospital, where he died a short time later.
McKinnon said there was no indication the child had any contagious medical condition. He said witnesses saw some symptoms that might explain the boy's sudden death, but he did not release details.
An autopsy is planned. The sheriff's office is conducting a death investigation.

Paul should rest and Barnes deserves some as well. Let Collison, Crawford, and Duds get more chemistry going into the post season.
CP3 needs to play, He missed allot of time this year so He shouldn't need rest, especially when they've all had allot of rest the last few weeks and it seems CP3 is just now getting his stroke back. Cp3 needs to Stay Hot!!! going into game 1
. Doc said CP3 might sit, but I'd give him a Good 28 minutes.
I heard that Doc said that Blake won't travel weather the suspension is rescinded or not. If true does that mean Doc doesn't believe OKC can lose or that he likes the GSW match up and doesn't want 2nd?
Well that's a fun train of thought but I prefer to stay a bit more in the present.
I think Doc likes their odds against GSW and let's the guys relax and focus in on the match up early, instead of nail biting and watching if OKC loses and who wins with MEM and MAVS.
Rooting for Detroit and Dallas tonight along with a Clippers in of course. Second seed and facing Dallas in the first round would be great. Dallas was CP's first ever first round opponent back in 2008.
It means he wants to rest BG and not take a chance on some idiot submarining him or injuring himself in some other way. The playoffs tend to be played cleaner and Doc wants a rested, healthy Griffin for the post season. Simple as that. In fact, I wouldn't play CP3 much, if at all. Ditto Jordan. Who cares about who we face in first round? Clippers will beat either.
Shame we only got to play Portland twice this season with any real meaning. Good, challenging matchups across the board, and there's a lot to like about their team.
almost hope OKC just takes care of Detroit before we play so this can be a practice game. Bogut is probably out for the whole first round, we're healthy for the most part, I like our chances to get out of 1st round in less than 7 games.
but who knows, OKC could decide they like the GS matchup better than Mem/Dal for the same reasons. They could just sit Durant, take the loss and dare us to tank our night game. Will be interesting night.
This game is on ESPN. Originally they gave it to GSW @ DEN but gave it to the clips for better rating.
I just can't see OKC losing. If they do, it's obviously a tank - basically admitting they're frightened of the Grizz/Mavs - then the Clips can turn right around and put them in that very matchup at a huge psychological disadvantage.
Same could be said for us tanking, of course... but we're on the road against a good team missing two of our best guys. It's quite realistic that we'd lose this game anyway. OKC losing at home to a bottom-feeder is just too much of a reach.
This situation is kind of win/win for the Clips, but if I'm Brooks I try to control the only thing I can... which is the venue for that 2nd round game-7.
OKC's not tanking. They wouldn't be giving Durant so many minutes if they were.
Griffin, Redick, and most likely Paul will sit out this game. Good decision, I want our stars to rest over playoff position. I hope this team is mentally prepared for the playoffs and don't beat themselves. When were on our game we're the best team in the league, when we are sloppy, no control, no rhythm we look like a high school basketball team.
So based on my theory of the top-6 being locked in, I still don't know who to root for in the Mavs/Grizz game. OKC has lost a couple to the Mavs, but I think the Grizz might give them a harder time in the postseason.
I think the Spurs will cruise through either. Just want them to play the Rockets in the 2nd round.
Haha I know I feel sick to my stomach rooting for the Grizz given our history with them.
This will be a preseason game. As long as OKC wins, I want to see Bullock play 30 mins and plays ran through DJ.
I want HOME COURT vs OKC, so I want the 2nd seed. THIS GAME IS HUGE PEOPLE. I think OKC will get at least one game at home vs the CLippers and the Clippers will get one game in their house, so Home court advantage will be "BIG"...... IMO, that's why I can care less about shutting up the Warriors and their fans, this isn't about that, we need to shut up OKC and then the Spurs because last I've checked, they're the only one's who's done anything of notice the last few years. I'm not scared of any team but you want any advantage you can get.
We're facing the Grizz if we get the 2 seed pal, I say NO WAY Dallas beats Memphis today, but stranger things have happened so...
There's no right or wrong team to root for, mate. Anything that keeps those dirty bears out of our bracket for as long as possible is a good thing, too.
If Dallas wins, we couldn't possibly see Memphis until the WCF... which would actually be an epic series.
The stranger thing would be the Detroit Pistons beating the OKC Thunder.
Err the Mavs beat the Griz in every matchup this season. All 3 times. So I am not sure where you are getting that from. They weren't at full health for most of those matchups but a win is a win. Its more like there is NO WAY the Pistons will beat the Thunder but stranger things have happened....
Oh yea BG is suspended, CP3 is not playing and Redick isn't playing. So our game against Portland is most likely a loss.
I know all of the above, can't remember the last time I was rooting for our team to lose, but DON"T WANNA FACE THE GRIZZ!
Cheering for one thing tonight: Memphis to beat Dallas.
I don't care how their regular season went, but Gasol and Randolph against Ibaka and ???? will be incredibly hard for them to handle.
Would rather see Mem-SA vs. Dal-SA. I don't want to risk seeing memphis in the 2nd round even though I'm not worried about being able to beat them in 7 games. Injury risk, plus they're the most boring team in the west and I'm sick of them.
Anybody who plays Dallas is going to beat them up so OKC would probably have an easy first round...But we probably would too if we get GS minus Bogut. At the very least, GS is good warm up for OKC.
If Dallas and Detriot both win, I want to see Blake suit up and take the Griffin Force jet pack up to Portland and land directly on the court at tip off.
"Man" (SMH) I feel like almost everybody is real scared right now, Don't want to play Memphis? HUH, forget them, I think that's the team we should want to play in the First Round, it'll be a great test and a win over those guy's would be the perfect confidence builder. I know there's some injury risks, but aren't there injury risk with GS, I mean they get Physical as well, and they've seemed to be the ones who love to take Cheap Shots, more so then Memphis. The only non taxing first round series is against the Mavericks so is Playing GS or Memphis really that different. I can respect those who just want to beat GS, but lets loose on purpose to avoid the Grizzles "IF" they beat Dallas, Memphis Fan's have a big Cool-Aid smile on their faces, they know the Clippers fans Fear them.
I'm with @Kingkanyon on this one. I want Memphis, and think a good dominating series against them would send a strong message to the league especially those in the Western Conference. If we dominated the McGriddles in a series the same way SAS did last year, that would send a strong message. If we beat GoldenState we will have to hear how Bogut being hurt is the only reason it happened and blah Blah Blah followed by numerous excuses.
I think we can sweep Memphis if not at least go 4-1 against them. I think its time to win the rubber match in a dominating fashion.
^^Who did Miami play in the first and 2nd round last year?? Who cares? Save the tough matchups for the end, playoffs are two months long.
Even now look at Miami, conceding the 1 seed to play Bobcats in the first round and Toronto/Washington in the 2nd, much better than Chicago/Brooklyn who both played them incredibly tough.
Our confidence is probably a little shaky after being bounced so early last year. Once we advance, we will play very loose.
There's a Big Difference from the East and the West as far as the first round goes, and there's a big difference between a two time back to back champion who knows they can get it done and the Clippers who hasn't been past he 2nd round yet, they don't have the swag or the Confidence that they can get it done like Miami does, or even San Antonio for that matter, they've been to the Promise land and they've held Gold in their hands, the Clippers have yet to do that and usually for a team to break through you need to go through your Rivals and to me Memphis is our Number 1 rival and the confidence that'll come from beating them will be huge (That's if MEMPHIS beats DALLAS, but I still think the 2nd seed and Home court over OKC would be even bigger. I believe the Pistons can beat OKC maybe it's just me and I don't think Doc is Conceding this game, yes BG and J.J will be sent home but Lamarcus Aldridge won't be playing either so this isn't going to be a cakewalk for Portland.
Nobody's scared of them... we're clearly the better team. But even the world heavyweight champ takes a bodyguard out with him because he doesn't want to bust his hand taking care of some cheapshotting punk and f**king up the money he makes in the ring.
Plus, everybody's bored as sh!t with playing Memphis.
Getting 2nd seed is way more important. If OKC loses(doubtful) we should try to win this game against Portland.
That's what it sound like though, I mean be honest. Hey I'm not getting on the Superman Ride at six Flags, I WANT NO PARTS OF THAT RIDE, I'm scared of it, when you purposely try to avoid a team then IMO your at least a bit concerned or scared, Maybe not scared of losing but scared of getting hurt in the process, but scared none to less. I just don't understand how Maybe avoiding Memphis can take president over getting the 2nd seed and Home Court through the 1st 2nd round barring SA doesn't get to the WC Finals. You can't get me to understand that kind of thinking, it's foolish to think we will somehow blow through OKC with ease that's series is going to be Tough and it'll be even tougher if they have home court.
^ Not really the Clippers' call though, is it?
Scotty Brooks isn't going to throw away home court against the Clippers tonight, so it's all moot.
Detroit is up 9 with 4:20 left in the second, not enough of a lead against a team like OKC. Dallas and Memphis is currently a very close game, that will likely go down to the wire.
OKC could blow the Detroit one open at any time, or they could be dummies and loose. This would put getting the 2nd seed in the hand of the Clippers. Maybe not the best time for Blake to get suspended
Aldridge and Mo Williams are out tonight and the rest of the Blazers' starters are getting limited minutes. This really will feel like a D-League game.
pull a pacers and rest our starting 5
I really don't care who we face. I'd rather face Golden state than Dallas... I don't know why.. but that is my choice.
Not afraid of anyone right now except the spurs...
I really do not like the fact that we basically have none of our starters playing. The Pistons could very well win this game. With no CP3, BG and Redick how will we beat the Blazers? I really really hope the Blazers rest players too.
Pistons Damn Near up 10 going into the 4th..... He may not be throwing it away but he sure is fumbling it right now, will see if he can recover that fumble.
if OKC loses ... Clippers should go for that #2 spot.
Go Dallas... and, uh, the Clippers' bench.
KD playing 40+ minutes.... wow
I really don't think homecourt is going to be an issue 2nd round of the playoffs...
Well for the Clippers and Thunder, their 2nd round opponent will be one or the other, there's no clear advantage there, so I'm assuming the coaches would want every advantage possible.
Detroit screwed it up, lol, idiots
Wow Brandon Jennings is disgusting bad.
I am officially going for Memphis. They need to beat up on OKC. clips shouldn't be that beat up because GS doesn't play D
41 free throws. It's clear the refs/league weren't going to let their darlings choke away the second seed no matter what.

Back by popular demand (well not really, back because I saved these cards specially) are three special Christmas editions of the Postcards from Australia series of posts I ran earlier in the year.
Like the previous postcards this was sent by William Joseph Henry BATEMAN and his wife and family back to his family in England. As you can see below this one was sent to his mother "with love and best wishes" for Christmas 1912, presumably in an envelope as there is no stamp or postmark.
The artwork on the card (The Call To Breakfast) is obviously by the same artist as the previous postcards I featured, but I wouldn't really consider it a Christmas scene. I am not sure what is in the cut-out at the top, the plastic film covering it is disintegrating, revealing the "chips from the nuggets of gold".
