The fine collected should be awarded to the player charged with the foul... It's one thing to get fined, it's another when you're paying your opponent, also multiply these fines by 10 and then we're talking.
Heat's Chris Bosh fined $5,000 for flop in Finals Game 4 against Spurs
The NBA announced Friday that All-Star Heat forward Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 for violating the league's anti-flopping policy during Miami's 109-93 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Finals on Thursday.
Bosh becomes the eighth player fined under the league's stiffer postseason policy, which eliminated the free warning given during the regular season and assesses escalating fines for each subsequent offense. During the regular season, 19 players were warned for flopping and five of those received fines for a second offense. Knicks guard J.R. Smith, Pacers forward Jeff Pendergraph, Thunder guard Derek Fisher, Pacers guard Lance Stephenson, Pacers forward David West and Heat forward LeBron James have also been fined during the postseason.
With a little more than six minutes remaining in the second quarter and the Heat leading 41-32, Spurs guard Gary Neal pushed the ball hard upcourt. As he approached the paint, Tim Duncan sealed off Bosh using his right arm, creating a driving lane to the basket for Neal. Bosh took some contact from Duncan's outstretched right arm, but appeared to exaggerate that contact, flinging both of his arms into the air as he crashed to the ground, drawing a foul on Duncan.
This type of flop was specifically noted in the NBA's official video introducing its flopping policy. In the video, Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari was called out for trying to sell an offensive foul in a similar manner.
"While defending against a legal ball screen, the defensive player, No. 8 in the white uniform, absorbs solid contact from the screener," the video's narrator explained. "However, the reaction by No. 8 which includes a flail, a spin, a fall to the floor and an apparent display of injury was a gross over-embellishment and was inconsistent with the degree of contact received on the play."
RELATED: The best flops of the 2012-13 season
Bosh will now be subject to the postseason fine scale for flopping.
Violation 1: $5,000 fine
Violation 2: $10,000 fine
Violation 3: $15,000 fine
Violation 4: $30,000 fine
If a player violates the anti-flopping rule five times or more, he will be subject to discipline that is reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension.
Bosh, 29, averaged 16.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this year. He is on the books for $17.5 million for the 2012-13 season.
NBA commissioner David Stern said last week that he believes that the league's current fine system is "not enough" to prevent flopping.
The Spurs and Heat are now tied at two games apiece in the series. Game 5 is set for Sunday in San Antonio's AT&T Center.
bosh flop in game 4 will go down in history as the worst flop in an nba finals
$5,000??? That's like $5 to real people.......how about $500,000? The schmuck won't ever do it again!
Why dont they fine the refs for calling that crap.
1 Flop = start next game against same opponent on 2 fouls.
(The flaw is last game of series is more important than first game next season, but this would be something that hurts on the floor.)
The fines need to be a percentage of salary plus bonuses, rather than a flat fine. The big stars flop because they can eat the fines that would actually hurt someone making minimum...
One of the reasons I can't consider comparing LeBron James to Michael Jordon is because of LeBron 'Flopping' James is a chronic flopper. Michael Jordon never was a flopper.
The NBA officiating is so bad you can hardly blame these guys. There is no consistency. Against Indiana, they let Hibbert foul the heck out of anyone driving the lane. On the play they hyped up so much when Lebron drove the lane, not only was he not vertical, he elbowed Lebron in the face. Then, when Tim Duncan goes to the basket, shoot, he can get swatted cleanly by D Wade and they will still call a foul and send him to the line. Similarly, Parker drives in, initiates the contact and then flops and he gets the foul and nobody says anything about the flop. It's a complete joke. It's tough to believe with the money they pay these guys and the money the NBA makes, they can't train officials to make consistent calls - especially regarding verticality in the lane.
The Heat are the biggest floppers in the NBA. The refs know it and the fans know. Why do they get away with it?
They need to start suspensions after the 3rd or 4th regardless if it takes of the time in between
flops, also i think the refs need to be held accountable for falling for this.
In soccer, the flop or "dive" has become part of the game. They say it is a violation and will get your carded, but they call one out of fifty (if that). Glad to see the NBA stepping up, that stuff really hurts the game.
What's with Van Gundy anyhow? It would be interesting if the announcers kept their opinions about fouls, flops, blocks, etc. to themselves during the broadcast. No way will I not believe that their comments have a bearing on Stern's decisions. It seems everybody wants to be the reincarnation of Howard Cosell and "tell it like it is".
I believe SA wins the popularity game up in here.
I'd also like to see coaches fined for player flops. Let's not presume that the players are taking the initiative here.
They didnt show the angle that was shown during the live broadcast where u can clearly see a generous gap between duncans arm and bosh. I love the heat and it was a good flop, but a flop is a flop. I only question if Bosh will wipe his @$$ with the check prior to sending it. That more or less describes what 5000 means to him and most of the heat.
Here is the deal...if you look closely at the play you will notice that Chris bosh had no choice. He had to jump out of the way because his leg was planted firmly on the ground and wade was coming and if bosh didn't jump, wade would of collided with bosh's leg, possibly hurting him. You have to look closely though, just saying.
Miami Heat championship asterisks-
2012 *lockout season
2013* flop season
That's not enough and they know it. The board knows that is only pocket change to them they need to be strict and have a no tolerance policy for flopping. This is how i would handle it.
Violation 1: $30,000 fine + 1 game suspension
Violation 2: $50,000 fine + 2 game suspension
Violation 3: $75,000 fine + 3 game suspension
Violation 4: 90,000 fine + Board Meeting to discuss further actions.
the fines for the finals should be adjusted to an immediate one game suspension for a flopping violation
the funniest thing about the bosh flop was even james who is a master of flopping could not believe the refs fell for it and had that buffled look on his face of "what the f@#* are you doing down there CB?" when he saw bosh on the floor
If the refs weren't so stupid, crooked, and inept, the wouldn't call it. I say continue to flop. If you want to stop flopping, get better officials.
THIS JUST IN!!! Sneak peek of Bosh's Hall of Fame acceptance speech! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PePW16KOCwM
That fine is about 1 minute of "work" for him. That would be like fining most people a quarter or 50 cents.
So a lost chance to score for the Spurs for a mere $5K, So you could flop every time the Spurs have the ball and buy the game for 400K. Heat make that in t-shirt sales in a day.
Another psuedo-penalty that means nothing courtesy of Stern, master of the illusion of fairness.
5K is chump change in a game like this.
How is it that none of the Heat players are not up to 5 violations? They have been flopping during the entire playoffs. What an embarrassment for the NBA.
i dont think he flopped at all. look at his legs. at one point both his feet are in the air and both are caught on each side, one by duncan and one by wade, he might have exaggerated it, but he was gonna go down anyway.
Bosh should have been suspended for a game for that preposterous flop last night. That is CHEATING, plain and simple. It is not clever play or a "heads-up" move by the player. It resulted in a foul being called and a basket negated. It was the point at which I turned the game off. Each time I start to watch the NBA again it is not long before garbage play and bad officiating turns me off.
@JoJo24 bigger than Parker and Ginobli??? You are kidding right?
@3runner3 he's brought in to talk about the game and his views, he's not the play by play guy. been like this for years.
@3runner3 He stinks. I'd much rather hear Barkley and Kenny than the bozos they have calling the Finals.
@PurpleDragon5150 I'm sure Alan Iverson used to think that way, I'll bet he would kill for 5k
@underdog19 yeah no. just saying.
@ChickenChamp yeah, that was the dumbest post of the year
@BigFred I like your reasoning BigFred, definitely need to add some zeros to the back of the numbers. The amount taken is truly pocket change to these Prima Donnas
So Parker and Ginobli are out. Good
@mrlecorbeau Stern has said (as mentioned in the article) "he believes that the league's current fine system is "not enough" to prevent flopping.". Which most likely means harsher penalties in the future
@DunnDro Again, Parker and Ginobli flop more than anyone in the league.
@doreynoldstx You are clueless as to what flopping is...
@doreynoldstx that's what flopping means: to exaggerate
Okay lets just say SA lost by 14 and not 16 and call it even he got fined and thats good enough it w
Okay lets just say SA lost by 14 and not 16 does make you feel any better he got fined and thats good enough they lost either way.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius According to LaBaby flopping is part of Miami Game plan and the 1st the go over before every part is flopping..and or acting.....
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius Bad news is the foul was legit just the flop was BS.
@JeffBockert @JoJo24 I'm starting to think you have a thing for "Parker and Ginobli"
@JeffBockert @3runner3 Intimidated by people smarter than you?
you don't understand butterfly effect do you? how about basketball momentums?
that San Antonio basket right there that wasn't counted because of the flop doesn't mean you'll only just deduct 2 points from the final score. who knows if that basket was counted, San Antoino goes on a run or Miami gets rattled.
we will never know.
but don't be naive that Bosh' flop only cost the spurs 2 points.
@RobertJacke @WilyCoyoteSuperGenius LaBaby never said flopping was part of Miami's game plan, he said he doesn't agree with it (then was caught flopping a couple of games later), but knows it's part of the game.
Not really. I'm just an old squirrel trying toget a nut
Not really. I'm just an old squirrel trying toget a nut
@bryandepalma10 relax,bro.
Heat fans generally have ZERO idea about how the game is played.

Lam, who has accepted a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further period, represented the All Blacks in a tour match before going on to captain Samoa in a distinguished playing career which included spells with Newcastle Falcons and the Saints.
"My family and I are truly blessed to have another opportunity to be part of a new community and country and we are looking forward to the exciting challenge ahead at Connacht," said Lam.
"I was very impressed by the Board's vision for Connacht Rugby and the fighting spirit of the team and supporters to persevere against all the odds. I'm looking forward to working with good people to build on the great work that Eric has done."
Lam's coaching career includes a successful spell at Auckland in the New Zealand Provincial Championship from 2005-9 where he won the title in 2005 and 2007 before he went on to head up the Auckland Blues in the Super 15.
Under Lam the Blues achieved their best finish for several years in 2011 reaching the semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners the Queensland Reds. He has also been involved at international level as a consultant to both Scotland and Samoa, most recently on the Pacific Islanders highly successful UK tour late last year when they claimed the scalps of both Wales and Canada which saw them make the top eight of the IRB World Rankings.
Connacht Rugby Chief Executive Tom Sears said: "The appointment of our next coach is a huge decision for Connacht Rugby and at the end of an extensive process we are delighted to be able to appoint Pat Lam.
"The position attracted worldwide interest enabling us to select from an incredibly strong field and we are convinced Pat has all the qualities and credentials to take Connacht forward.
"Allied to his experience and technical expertise he displayed an excellent knowledge of Connacht, of where we are, what we aim to achieve, the obstacles we face and how we can ultimately achieve our objective of becoming one of the leading sides in European rugby.
"Throughout the selection process Pat displayed a real affinity to what Connacht Rugby means and that was crucial to us. He will no doubt bring about progressive changes but he is also extremely committed to retaining and building on the qualities that make Connacht unique."

Currently, food trucks and other mobile vendors are not permitted within city limits without first acquiring a temporary-use permit. However, such permits are restrictive in nature, limiting the number of days and places mobile vendors can operate.
"That doesn't work for what some mobile vendors are trying to do," City Planner Jim Rundle said at a planning commission meeting last month.
The code amendment would set three primary regulations.
First, mobile vendors will have to acquire a business license. Second, they can only operate on private property. Finally, they cannot operate within 300 feet of an established restaurant with taxable sales.
The City Council will also consider extending the life of a special-use permit to two years from six months in order to give businesses and developers more time and leeway to operate in the current economic slowdown.
Also today, the council is expected to approve the allocation of funds for the city's biggest special events.
It is the job of the Sparks Tourism & Marketing Committee to allocate these funds.
More than $67,000 will go to the Brand Leadership Team for advertising, posters and signs, a tour for potential special events producers, an appreciation luncheon and public relations contract; $5,000 will go to The Chamber for Star Spangled Sparks; $20,000 to Beach Sports Network for a watercross and beach volleyball event; $10,000 to Expedition Man Endurance Festival for a triathlon; $57,000 to John Ascuaga's Nugget for Hometowne Farmer's Market, Star Spangled Sparks and the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off; and $30,000 to Roadshows for Street Vibrations spring and fall rallies.
The City Council meets at 2 p.m. today in the legislative chambers located at 745 Fourth St.

The ZX-6R of 2003 marked a dramatic return to form for Kawasaki. At its launch this machine was the hardest, most technologically advanced 600 of all time, boasting radial brakes, upside-down forks and fully digital clocks alongside fuel-injection, a lap timer and all wrapped up in a tiny, tight chassis and plastics. Gorgeous.

The hardest 600 of modern times just got a little softer – and a little better, too. The Kawasaki ZX-6R's track-intent is still present and correct, but thankfully the suspension is more responsive and less harsh. Its new slippery shape means that 170mph is just a following wind away. Also new for 2005 is a slipper clutch and petal discs.

Match Previews
Nice video from the good folks over at MLSsoccer.com previewing Saturday's RSL-LA slugfest.
Fantastic video by Real Salt Lake videographer slick Nick Lamping ahead of Saturday's 7:30 p.m. kickoff between RSL and LA.
Three key absences for Real Salt Lake sounds a difficult proposition to handle, but options for each position — in the midfield, in defense, and up front — could mean RSL is in a better tactical position than one might readily imagine ahead of Saturday's home match against LA.
No Luis Gil means we'll be looking for a midfielder to take his place. Two options readily present themselves: Sebastian Velasquez has shown well this season and is stepping up in the system, but Khari Stephenson provides veteran experience and looked strong last week. The most reasonable approach, to my mind: Stephenson starts, Velasquez comes off the bench. Stephenson can manage the game well in midfield and provide a safe outlet; Velasquez can come on late and be his creative, spark self.
No Chris Schuler leads to a continuation with either Kwame Watson-Siriboe or Carlos Salcedo. Both have showed well so far, and Watson-Siriboe was massive against a pesky San Jose side. Watson-Siriboe had a rocky start to his season, but should he continue to impress, worries about an injured Chris Schuler might ease somewhat. Carlos Salcedo is a natural bench option with an eye on a Wednesday start.
No Alvaro Saborio leaves us again wondering about a tactical scenario. Is the Plata-Findley pairing for real? Can it work? It's hard to deny that chances have been created, and Saturday saw us looking somewhat near very, very good. Olmes Garcia could be an option but is likely to be eased back from injury, while Devon Sandoval might not yet be the sort of player that can dominate the Galaxy defense. But Plata-Findley presents its own challenges from a tactical perspective, but if those can be overcome, it's hard to argue with the selection.
It all leaves Real Salt Lake in an interesting position against one of MLS's better sides, but it leaves a good tactical position open. With the tendencies of Plata and Findley to drift wide, opportunities for midfielders emerge. Javier Morales is in fine form, Ned Grabavoy is in the best goalscoring form of his career, Khari Stephenson has a cannon of a foot and Kyle Beckerman can swing in the late shots himself.
The surprise? The Findley-Plata pairing could be one of our better options up front, regardless of injury concerns and international duty. The win against San Jose, however poor they've been this season, is partly owed to the results of effective movement up top, drawing defenders into poor positions and creating channels for midfield runs. Seeing more of that on Saturday would be precisely the sort of thing RSL needs to handle the Galaxy.
A regular contributor to RealSaltLake.com, Matt Montgomery runs the SB Nation blog RSL Soapbox. Follow Matt on Twitter @TheCrossbarRSL
Real Salt Lake is set to continue its home stand on Saturday night, when it will take on the LA Galaxy at 7:30 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Here are a few interesting storylines ahead of Saturday's match:
RSL out for revenge
Real Salt Lake and the Galaxy have already met once this season, with RSL coming out flat and giving up two early goals to fall to LA 2-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium on April 27.
RSL has posted a strong 5-1-1 record across all competitions since that match, but a bad taste still lingers. The Claret-and-Cobalt will want to remove that once and for all on Saturday with a win in its second – and final – home game of the regular season against the rival Galaxy.
LA struggling
While RSL has been hot since the April 27 meeting at Rio Tinto Stadium, LA has been in a slide, posting a 2-5-0 mark across all competitions since taking all three points on the Wasatch Front five weeks ago.
LA was blown out in its last match, giving up four second half goals to fall 5-0 at the New England Revolution on Sunday. After that performance, it's a safe bet that the Galaxy will come into Saturday's game focused and very, very hungry for a result.
Morales successful against Galaxy
Much like he does against San Jose, RSL midfielder Javier Morales has a very strong track record against the Galaxy, scoring five goals and tallying five assists in 12 career regular season games against LA.
Morales gave San Jose fits last week, scoring a goal and adding an assist in RSL's 3-0 win over the Quakes last Saturday. The Claret-and-Cobalt is hoping he'll be able to match that performance this weekend as he looks to strengthen his solid track record against the Galaxy.
Road warriors
The away team has won the last four games between Real Salt Lake and LA dating back to RSL's 3-1 win at the Galaxy in the 2012 season opener. That's a very odd statistic in any series, let alone one in which both teams are traditionally tough at home.
RSL, obviously, will be hoping to end that mark on Saturday with a win over its longtime Western Conference rival.
International Absences
Both sides will be missing key players on Saturday due to international duty. RSL will be without three players, missing forward Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica) and defender Abdoulie Mansally (Gambia) due to World Cup Qualifiers and midfielder Luis Gil (U.S.), who is with the U.S. Under-20's ahead of this month's FIFA U-20 World Cup. LA will be without star forward Robbie Keane (Ireland) and defender Omar Gonzalez (U.S.) for World Cup Qualifiers and U.S. U-20 Oscar Sorto. The Galaxy could also be without U.S. U-20 forward Jose Villarreal depending on when he departs for the team's pre-World Cup camp.
San Jose Earthquakes are back in town for the first time since they knocked Real Salt Lake out of the Western Conference lead in June 2012, but this time, the visitors are struggling to find even the faintest of footing.
Shots fired: Real Salt Lake are leading the league in shots taken and shots on goal, and while that's nice, it's interesting that San Jose is not far behind in either metric. They've taken 10 fewer shots, so one has to wonder why they haven't been scoring. Indeed, it would be worrying if Jason Kreis wasn't paying attention to that fact — though one should be sure he is. There's a palpable feeling that San Jose are dangerous — one needs only look at shot charts to see why. This necessitates the defense protects Nick Rimando as capably as possible.
Speaking of defense, deciding between Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Carlos Salcedo for the partnership with Nat Borchers can't be easy. After 120 minutes on Tuesday and 90 minutes on Saturday, Carlos Salcedo might miss out. That's simply a lot of time out there, and he's worked hard the entire time. But he has acquitted himself well in the early days of the season, and Jason Kreis has shown a penchant for retaining players in form. With Chris Schuler likely to miss out, the decision comes down to today and how well the two recovered from a grueling Open Cup match.
Recovery will be a big consideration for Kreis everywhere on the pitch. Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales and Carlos Salcedo all played full minutes in both recent matches, and some rotation might necessarily take place. Sebastian Velasquez, Luis Gil, and perhaps some faces less often seen could be in line for minutes. But once again, inconsistency in play is a natural extension of inconsistent lineups.
Lineup concerns are one thing, but considering RSL's relative success despite those inconsistencies, there's not much reason for grave concern. The rotation might even be a good thing for those players who haven't seen as much time — but who exactly that might be is up for debate.
Less-used players might end up with time. Enzo Martinez and David Viana haven't played any matches yet in 2013 (and Enzo not at all), Khari Stephenson has only started a third of the matches he's played in, and Kwame Watson-Siriboe has played in only a handful of matches. Should some of the players with less experience play against San Jose, they'll have to be extra aware — especially considering that San Jose's not afraid to shoot.

San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch joined On Frame on Thursday night to look ahead to Saturday's RSL-Earthquakes matchup, talk U.S. Open Cup and discuss San Jose's year thus far.
The veteran 'keeper said something particularly interesting about the Earthquakes "Goonies" mentality, telling Brian Dunseth and Trey Fitz-Gerald that he thinks the "Goonies" mantra needs "to be put to rest."

When Real Salt Lake takes the field against the Atlanta Silverbacks in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday, they won't be treating it like a glorified friendly. RSL hasn't seen great success in America's oldest soccer tournament, but they are determined to finally make an impact. Last season was a new low: At home, in front of one of the largest crowds to ever witness an Open Cup match, RSL crashed out of the tournament 3-1 at the hands of NASL's Minnesota Stars. This week, team coaches and management have expressed their displeasure with last year's Open Cup performance.
"I think our coach set the tone," said general manager Garth Lagerwey. "That was possibly the worst game of his coaching tenure at RSL. We have to do better. If we want to advance, it starts Tuesday."
The message from last year's disappointment has apparently made its way down to the players. Goalkeeper Josh Saunders, who was not with the team in 2012, joked with reporters that he "hasn't heard anything about" the Stars debacle.
Sebastian Velasquez was a rookie last year, and he had plenty to say about what's going to be different this time around.
"We're coming in different from last year," the player said. "I feel like maybe we didn't take it as serious as we should have. Last year it seemed like our minds weren't in it."
The lack of seriousness last year can be attributed to a bit of complacency that came with facing an NASL opponent. Today the loss serves as a reminder that anyone can beat anyone, regardless of division.
"If you come in and think, 'this is a minor-league team; they're not as talented are we are,' that's how you get tripped up," said Lagerwey.
Head Coach Jason Kreis is the kind of coach who's not going to let his team make the same mistake two years in a row, so it stands to reason that his squad won't be complacent as they take on the Silverbacks.
Several other factors could also help spur on RSL this Tuesday: They have a guaranteed home match in the fourth round if they win, another good crowd is expected on Tuesday, player resources aren't stretched thinner by CONCACAF Champion's League dates, and the squad is noticeably deeper this time around.
"The thing about this team is that any guy that gets put out there is going to give the same performance as a regular starter," said Velasquez. "I think everybody's ready to play, everybody's ready to get minutes, everybody's ready to show the coach that we're on this team for a reason."
The favorable schedule in the tournament, the depth of the squad, and the painful lessons learned last year have Real Salt Lake aiming for big things in a competition they haven't traditionally done well in.
"We're ready, we're focused, we're ready to come out tomorrow and move to the next round," said Velasquez. "This year we want to win the Cup."

Jason Kreis will have a series of questions on his mind tonight as he prepares his side for a match against Montreal Impact. They all revolve around selection. We'll look at three of these and attempt to answer whether he should look at continuity or change, and what exactly the tactical implications are for each.
Who starts up front: Joao Plata or Olmes Garcia? It's certainly possible that both will start, but Devon Sandoval presents a tactical option neither Garcia nor Plata fulfill. He's scored his first goal, too, and he'll be hopeful to push on. Plata offers more guile on the ball and a better cross, but Garcia is going to push forward more and get into the box. His influence has been undeniable every time he's been on the pitch. While starting Garcia would mean losing a little continuity, the rewards outweigh the risks. At any rate, Plata could make a good impact sub if necessary. Best option: change, Garcia for Plata.
Who starts in midfield: Luis Gil or Sebastian Velasquez? Luis Gil has had some fantastic moments in 2013, and those two goals of his are good indicators of that. But he's also had some struggles, some of which are attributed to a lingering ankle injury. The injury is apparently not so bad as to necessitate his exclusion from the side, so it would seem the prognosis is such that playing through it would be the best option. Sebastian Velasquez has had some great moments on the ball, but he's still yet to find his first goal — although his parried shot on Wednesday saw a goal eventually scored. With Gil still in the side, we retain consistency and allow him more time to get back to his best. We also get a potent option in front of goal. With Velasquez in the side, we get a player who runs non-stop when he's on the pitch, fights for every ball, and has an uncanny knack for keeping possession. Gil is undeniably more direct as a player, and that affects his passing rates. Best option: continuity, Velasquez on the bench for an early second-half sub.
Who starts in back? Carlos Salcedo or Kwame Watson-Siriboe? Carlos Salcedo has had his red card rescinded and is eligible to play, making this an option at all. Kwame Watson-Siriboe has traveled to Montreal for the match after becoming a father recently. The weighing pan would seem to tip slightly toward Salcedo in this regard, as he's been training fully for the last week, but Watson-Siriboe is a more experienced defender with more playing time in the system — although the two joined at around the same time last year. This is probably the hardest question of the three facing Kreis. Salcedo proved himself capable on Wednesday and did nothing to deserve being dropped, but the nature of the game means he could step to the side while the more experienced player starts. But at the same time, Kreis let Palmer continue after Wingert came back from injury — until he had a poor match — and that speaks to a willingness to give new players a chance. Best option: Salcedo continues, Watson-Siriboe on the bench.

Defensive questions reign ahead of today's match against New England Revolution, and with Nat Borchers having taken ill, those questions are sure to be more poignant and pressing.
Defensive integration
We're likely to see Chris Wingert out there again, and there's something refreshing about that. Wingert is, as we know by now, an important defensive piece. While he may not be the most attacking full back in the league — we probably have that piece available, too, with Abdoulie Mansally — he brings organization and positional awareness to the side. With a more attacking midfield group this season, Wingert's calming presence is helpful. We saw the very palpable benefits of his presence on Saturday, and if he plays again, we'll be in a strong position.
With news that Nat Borchers could be out for the match with illness, Wingert's presence could be essential. He'd be a stabilizing presence at the back — and with a young center back likely to start, that could be the difference between conceding a handful and keeping a clean sheet.
Central choices
The question then turns to who starts at the back alongside Chris Schuler: The most immediate option is Kwame Watson-Siriboe, but given that he's a new father as of Friday, there's a thought that he may be unavailable. Watson-Siriboe presents himself as a player similar to Borchers, though he's not to that level. He's as capable athletically as anyone, and he can step into the right positions to win the ball. Perhaps more importantly, he's very good in the air, and against a New England side that's still unsure what their attacking style looks like, that could be essential.
Carlos Salcedo, who was handed his debut on Saturday, has a chance as well. The young academy graduate a bit more of an unknown quantity, but he's been impressive for RSL's reserves and is an immaculate worker. He cuts an aggressive figure, and though he's inexperienced, he wouldn't necessarily be out of his depth in the lineup. Again, though, he presents plenty of unknowns and has a lot to prove. Interestingly, Salcedo is more likely to cary the ball out of defense when the options are open, and he's very good in the pass. This gives us a look we haven't really seen — both Schuler and Borchers are capable, but more frequently they pass the ball off to a full back or to Kyle Beckerman.
Chris Wingert could also move centrally, which he did at times last year with some success. He played centrally frequently early in his career, but he's been a full back with us for long enough that it's easy to forget that. He's not a perfect option, but you know what you get with Wingert in the middle. More pressingly, missing him at left back could be troubling.

Prolific New York Times bestselling author R.A. Salvatore is at the helm of the story telling for this game with Todd McFarlane supplying the art direction for the visuals. Now if your geek-fu is strong and you know who both of these people are then you know that this is something to get excited about.
In overall terms with the way it look's, sounds and plays its closest equivalent would have to be the Fable series from Lionhead studios.
For anyone who played Fable you would know that it had many shortcomings but the main one was always it's size. Even the latest instalment could be clocked in under a day easy by concentrating on the main plotline and ignoring the sidequests... RPG people simply expect far more than that.
Thankfully this is not the case with Kingdoms of Amalur, in fact, it's bloody huge!
Not quite as epic as Skyrim but still huge enough that travelling from one end to the other of the game world without fast travelling would take you a fair while.
As one little green dude from a memorable sci fi film once said... 'size matters not! and Yoda always knew what he was talking about.
Enough about the quantity, now on to the quality.
The quests themselves can seem a little brain dead at times (go from [a] to [b] and kill [c], return to [a] to collect prize) but they are still enjoyable.
The combat system is fast and furious with tonnes of manic button bashing with further button bashing QTE thrown in on top for when you activate the special fate ability.
The graphics are top notch throughout, seemingly eschewing 'lifelike' or realism in the visuals department in preference to a more painterly style.
Music is also brilliant with excellent rpg operatic tunes in place,
I dislike the targeting system a little (the fact that there doesn't really seem to be one, it just locks on to the nearest person) but it doesn't kill the game it just removes unnecessary thinking :).
There are three class skill trees might, sorcery and finesse that you can expend points on while levelling and there is plenty of possible combinations to choose from to suite player preference.
The options available to people when it comes to weapon and armour building/customization is staggering and easily eats up your time. The set mechanisms in place within the game for dealing with unwanted items is a cut above most rpg's allowing the user to break down unwanted items for parts that you then use to create new items. It wasn't long before I had a suite of armour dedicated towards helping me level up quicker through experience bonuses and once I hit level 40 (the level cap within the game) I then switched to armour that just bumped up my stats.
The test version I reviewed was on PS3 and I liked it so much that I have just now purchased the PC version on steam, this should tell you how much that I liked the game by the fact I am willing to pay money to play this game on my preferred system rather than stick with the free PS3 version that I received for the price of this review.
So far I am 90 hours+ into this game, slaughtered the main campaign, done the majority of the side missions AND STILL loving it.
Roll on the DLC.

Ryan Coops,, as I understand this quote from Prez JZ, you got no choice but to apply for your ANC membership card my friend. Things seem to be going from bad to worse.

kwakwakwa..kwikwikwi, don't be confused like many, i don't support Zuma but the ANC.
hehehehehehe we all know that corruption is very dangerous and it is because of the liberal media that even quotes things that were not said makes it unbearable to stomach some of the comments made here...people that were not even at the Gala Dinner seem to know more of what was said than people that were there...it is astonishing how we, ordinary citizens believe whatever is printed by The Star, Sowetan, The Argus, New Voice etc.
As i am leaving the office...I just want to say, believing eveything you read is dangerous.
Let us not be blinded by HATE...most hate the ANC and will use any means to discredit it. Most of us know that our wives/girlfriends are the most beautiful women on earth cause we know their internal beauty. We were not told by newspapers that they are beautiful.
After the careless statement from Zuma now this...people agree with us, the statement was reckless and will always raise eyebrows
Hehehehehe, somebody is going to tell you that we should not believe this story because the source is racist and/or cannot be trusted because their intention is to discredit.
hehehehe I thought only Pirates fans who blindly defend the Colonel..ncncncncnc well i saw that comment twana.

More support for Medicaid expansion
The Columbus Dispatch - February 13, 2013 11:02 AM
Ohio Right to Life is the latest in a long list of supporters for Gov. John Kasich's plan to expand the tax-funded Medicaid program.
The anti-abortion advocates today urged Republican leaders in the House and Senate to support the governor's effort to provide health coverage to more low-income Ohioans.
"We support this critical inititative which undoubtedly will help the most vulnerable in Ohio and save lives," Michael Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life, wrote in a letter to House Speaker William G. Batchelder and Senate President Keith Faber.
"Ohio Right to Life and its statewide membership believes in supporting life before as well as after birth by helping the poor and the sick. Pro-life Ohioans also support helping those mothers who might feel pressured to abort because of perceived financial or health care related issues.
"One of the most commonly given reasons women cite for having an abortion is economics. Society should provide health care to poor mothers not just until the time of delivery, but also afterwards to ensure that both the baby and the birth mother receive proper care."
Kasich has proposed an expansion of the state's Medicaid program to provide health insurance for an estimated 275,000 uninsured Ohioans. The expansion was called for under the federal health-care law, but is optional for states.
The federal government would pay the full cost of the expansion for three years and 90 percent for several years after that. Kasich's plan would reverse the expansion if those financial guarantees change.
Kasich said the expansion will save Ohio $235 million over the next two years, free about $100 million in local funds for mental-health and addiction services, and bring federal tax dollars back to Ohio.
The proposed expansion has been applauded by Democrats as well as hospitals, business groups, advocates for the poor and others while conservatives have argued it is unaffordable and will increase the nation's debt.

A video tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, whose death last week rocked the wrestling world, that WWE aired on Monday Night Raw this week.
April 16, 2014
Now that the autopsy test has been concluded, it has been officially announced that the Ultimate Warrior died of heart failure, with the official statement being "Atherosclerotic/Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease". This qualifies as being a natural death, where drugs and alcohol are not directly related. However, long term drug use in the past could have been indirectly related.
April 15, 2014
In a very classy move by the company, WWE sent two senior officials to Arizona to help the family of the Ultimate Warrior after his death. The move took place almost immediately after the legendary performer died of a heart attack. The story has been picked up by TMZ, and the company has received quite a bit of praise for doing such a good deed.

Rumors swirled this weekend that Chris Jericho had died, as a lot of gullible fans were misled by someone posting false information on his Wikipedia page. His death is completely a hoax, and the former WWE star is still alive and kicking. Jericho himself responded to the rumors by posting a message and a screen shot on his Twitter account.
April 13, 2014
Those that know Curt Hawkins know that he is a big fan of the Ultimate Warrior, so when news surfaced about the death of the legendary WWE star, Hawkins was obviously affected deeply. As a bit of a tribute, Hawkins had some students at his new wrestling school in New Jersey do a little in ring tribute to Warrior in this picture.

Colin Cowherd, a host on ESPN, bashed CM Punk on his radio show this week. He was critical of the former WWE star for remarks that he made on Twitter about Ultimate Warrior's death not being a result of drugs. Unfortunately, though, Cowherd was not aware that Punk has not been active on social media since leaving WWE. He was actually responding to a parody account.

Since he was quite well known during his prime, the Ultimate Warrior has a special place in the heart of many people. Upon hearing about his death, millions of people were saddened. At various sporting events, including MLB and NHL games, the Ultimate Warrior theme song was played as a tribute to the fall WWE legend.

"My mom called to tell me my Uncle Jimbo, aka Ultimate Warrior, died. He was my dad's best friend, and a big part of our childhood. Rest in peace." - Lacey Von Erich discusses the death of Ultimate Warrior, who worked with her father Kerry Von Erich in WCCW

"Ultimate Warrior was my first favorite wrestler, and I will always appreciate his contributions. Glad he had his hall of fame moment. I'll always believe." - Kassius Ohno discusses the death of the Ultimate Warrior
April 11, 2014
As expected, the death of the Ultimate Warrior has brought with it some negative publicity for WWE and professional wrestling in general. A lot of people in the media have focused on the fact that professional wrestlers have died young. Many are pointing out that rampant steroid abuse and drug use have taken away a lot of our favorite stars before their time.
April 10, 2014
"I'm deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Jim Hellwig, the Ultimate Warrior. I wish I'd been kinder to him in the last momnets that we had this past weekend at Wrestlemania 30. We did cross paths once or twice, but we were all so busy. I never went out of my way to see him, but if I could, I'd tell him he looked good. He looked content, and he looked like he'd finally found happiness within his children and his wife. He never ever harmed me, nor did we really work with one another. I wish we had. His final ring promo breaks my heart. I have many fond memories of times we shared, only now do they pile up in my head. I'd also tell him that he was right. He never was such a bad guy. My thoughts are with his wife and children. I never thought his time would be so short. I know one thing. I will never forget him." - Bret Hart discusses the death of Ultimate Warrior
April 10, 2014
"Mourning the loss of Jim Hellwig. I don't believe anyone has ever published this picture before today. The snapshot was taken two days before Thanksgiving in 1985, as we prepared to leave my house in Newhall, California and embark on a career in wrestling. Jim always challenged me to strive at being the best, and I'll forever be grateful for the encouragement and motivation he provided. I was looking forward to catching up with him, and I'm saddened we didn't have that opportunity before he passed. My heart goes out to his wife Dana and their two daughters, and they will remain in my prayers." - Sting speaks about the death of the Ultimate Warrior
April 10, 2014
After the death of the Ultimate Warrior, Sting took to social media to express his grief. The legendary NWA star also posted this picture of the two of them together before they became professional wrestlers. Sting noted that this was right when they were about to start training to become future hall of fame stars in the business.
April 10, 2014
While it is still much too soon to know the exact cause of death, the rumor is that Ultimate Warrior suffered a heart attack at a hotel in Arizona. Witnesses have said that the WWE legend was clutching his chest when he collapsed to the ground. Officials are saying that there were no signs of drugs or alcohol in play, so natural causes was the initial report.
April 9, 2014
In a rather interesting segment at a WWE live event in England, ring announcer Tony Chimel kicked Curtis Axel in the gut and delivered a Stone Cold Stunner.

I bought this chandelier because I couldnt justify spending the 1k on the one I really wanted. I am so glad I did, it is so beautiful. The white behind the iron circles sparkles and shimmers, so pretty. The crystals came attached so there was no assembly required. Quick ship and allready hung. Yet another great purchase on my favorite website!!!! Buy this chandelier you wont be sorry!
Very pretty and lots of sparkle but it is small. I have it hung in a small seating area over a table that seats four and it looks good, but with a larger table or area it would be too small. The black metal part with the circles is about 5� high. The longest crystal hangs down approximately another 7�. Online the large bottom crystals look like spheres but they are actually slightly tear shaped. At first I was disappointed in this, but now that it is hung they look round. The smaller crystals are actually flat and are plastic, but still shine nicely and since they are under the shade you don�t really see them. It is really pretty at night. Good purchase, but glad I didn�t pay any more than I did.
This fixture is stunning! But be aware, the glass crystals do not hang down as low as the image suggests. Also two of the extenders were damaged & kept on falling off the screw threads. Even though I would have liked to use both the 6" extender & the 12" extender, I was unable to use them as they were damaged. There were 3 12" extenders. Thankfully one of the 12" extenders did stay tight in the screw threads. I hung my fixture at 12" off the ceiling instead of 18" as I would have preferred. With all the aggravation of re-wiring (it fell off the screw threads after it was hung) I am happy to have purchased this chandelier
I love this chandelier. I bought 3 different beautiful chandeliers in Overstock and this one by far is my favorite one! (And it's also the cheapest one) The crystals are SO pretty and the light reflects beautifully on them. I think the secret is that the lights are looking down and not up like most of the chandeliers, giving the crystals direct light and making them sparkle and send light all over the room. Well, that and the fact that there are lots of crystals in this piece. I just adore this chandelier and can't stop looking at it everytime I get into my bedroom. It's just beautiful. I'm very satisfied.
I love the design of the light. It was very easy to put it together! I just love it!
Great quality, heavy, not cheap and flimsy and looks gorgeous up! LOVE it!
I love this light! I only used half of the crystals and LOVE the look of this piece! The crystals don't come attached so you can use as many or as few as you want. I guess I would call my style eclectic cottage and this light adds just the right amount if sparkle. It is not a large fixture, which works for me, so check the dimensions to make sure it works for your space. I would reccomend this light.
I love this fixture. Easy to install, and looks amazing. Fast shipping. I did not need to add any ceiling support as it is not heavy.
This is an amazing light. Even prettier in person. Everyone thought I paid twice what I did for this light. It's gorgeous!

Dealer Floor Plan Financing Program
On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act which, among other things, established the SBA's Dealer Floor Plan (DFP) Pilot Program. The DFP Pilot gives SBA the ability to issue 7(a) loan guaranties to revolving lines of credit made by qualified participating lenders that are provided to retail dealers of titleable inventory.
Key Features of the DFP Pilot:
- DFP is structured to encourage SBA lenders to extend lines of credit to eligible dealers of new and used automobiles, motorcycles, boats (including boat trailers), recreational vehicles and manufactured housing (mobile homes).
- Size Standards: The applicant can qualify for a DFP line of credit using either the traditional, industry-based size standards (set forth in 13 CFR 121.201) or the alternative size standard. Under the alternative size standard, SBA will classify a business as small if it, and its affiliates, have both a tangible net worth that does not exceed $15 million and an average net income after Federal income taxes (excluding any carry-over losses) for the preceding two completed fiscal years that does not exceed $5 million.
- Minimum Loan Size of $500,000 and Maximum Loan Size of $5,000,000
- Guarantee: SBA will guarantee 75% on floor plan lines of credit when the lender advances no more than 100% of the cost (invoiced) for new inventory and 100% of the cost or industry based wholesale book value, whichever is less, for used inventory.
- Use of Proceeds: Loan proceeds may be used for the acquisition of titleable inventory for retail sales, to refinance existing floor plan lines of credit with another lender, or to refinance/replace existing floor plan lines of credit with the participating lender. Proceeds may also be used to pay the SBA guaranty fee.
- Delegated Authority: A floor plan lender with at least $1 billion of floor plan lines of credit in its current portfolio may qualify for delegated authority under the DFP Pilot, which will expedite the loan approval process for small business owners and allows more autonomy for lenders.
- Documentation: Delegated floor plan lenders will make use of SBA Express forms and therefore, be able to utilize to the maximum extent practicable their own policies, procedures, internal controls and documentation. Non-delegated lenders will follow standard 7(a) procedures, including the documentation requirements.
- Guaranty Purchase: Lenders will be able to request purchase of the guaranty on a DFP line of credit in the event of a breach of a financial covenant, a sold out of trust (SOT) situation, or an unremedied adverse change.
- Liquidation of the titleable inventory securing the DFP line of credit will be required prior to making demand on SBA but the lender will not be required to liquidate all additional business personal property securing the line prior to making demand.
Time Frame: The DFP Pilot will be implemented on or before February 7, 2011.

Community Board No. 4 Votes to Support High Line Reuse
At its last meeting, on April 2, Manhattan Community Board No. 4 voted 28-1 to support FHL's efforts to preserve and reuse the High Line for pedestrian use. The Board's vote was a reflection of the overwhelming community support that has developed for the High Line in recent years. We owe huge thanks to the many dedicated High Line preservationists who attended and spoke at Board meetings in the past year. Their presence and testimony made clear to the Board the breadth and depth of community commitment to the High Line. We also thank the elected officials whose backing was crucial: U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, City Council Member Christine Quinn, Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, State Senators Thomas Duane and Eric Schneiderman, and State Assemblymembers Richard Gottfried and Deborah Glick.

Community Board to Vote on High Line Resolution
Wednesday, April 2, 2003, 6:00 PM
St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital
1000 Tenth Avenue (58th & 59th Streets)
This Wednesday, April 2, Manhattan Community Board No. 4 will vote on a resolution in support of the preservation and reuse of the High Line. If you are a resident or business-owner in the High Line area, or if you represent a civic organization with links to the issue, you can sign up to speak in support of the pro-High Line resolution. The meeting date, time, and location are above.
The CB4 resolution follows many months of discussion and meetings. At two public CB4-sponsored meetings, in April 2002 and February 2003, community residents, business-owners, and civic groups came out in force to support the High Line. At both hearings, opinion in favor of preservation and reuse in the packed rooms was virtually unanimous. These public meetings led CB4's Chelsea Planning and Preservation Committee to vote 9-1, with with one abstaining, to recommend that the full Board of CB4 support the High Line preservation and reuse initiative.

High Line Access Issues: Tours and Trespassing
FHL often gets requests for tours of the High Line's elevated rail platform. FHL does not control access to the High Line, which is private property, owned and managed by CSX Corporation. Sometimes CSX will allow FHL to bring a community-based group or a civic organization on the Line. If you represent a local community group or civic organization that wants to tour a portion of the Line, please contact Justin Rood; (212) 631-9188 or via e-mail at:
. Unfortunately we cannot offer tours to individuals, student groups, or those entering the design competition.
About trespassing: In the last few weeks, there has been an increase in illegal trespassing on the Line. Accessing the Line without CSX permission is illegal, and we've heard reports of numerous ticketings and arrests. FHL urges its supporters in the strongest terms not to trespass in this manner. Trespassing on the Line threatens FHL's working relationship with CSX, which in turn may threaten our long-term ability to open the Line to full and complete public access. Help us save the High Line and open it to the public: Don't trespass.

In addition, a prize will be awarded (prize-type to be determined) to the most compelling solution to the challenge of universal access to the structure's elevated rail platform. Also, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is sponsoring a "New York Heritage Award" prize (amount to be determined) for the best design incorporating the New York area's native plants and wildflowers.
To publicize the competition, we have printed a competition poster that will be mailed in the coming week. To encourage people to inform others of the competition, we will also have an HTML e-mail late this week that you can forward to friends and co-workers.
