In April, 2005, Sam Zell travelled to Abu Dhabi to meet Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed alNahyan. Zell is best known as a realestate magnate, whose reputation has been enhanced by the sale, last February, for thirty-nine billion dollars, of Equity Office Properties Trust, the largest collection of office buildings in the country. Zell, who is sixty-six, delights in claiming that at the time the sale—to Blackstone, the private-equity firm—was "the largest single transaction that has ever been done." But for decades his appetite for economic opportunity has lured him beyond real estate into investments in oil and gas, barges, insurance, wineries, cruise ships, department stores, waste-to-energy power projects, and radio stations. In April, he signed an $8.2-billion deal that would effectively give him control of Tribune Company, the giant media conglomerate, whose assets include the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. For about a dozen years, he has also invested aggressively abroad, most recently in the Middle East. He spends about twelve hundred hours a year on his plane—the equivalent of flying from New York to London every few days. "I want to see everybody in their habitat," he told me, in a low, rasping voice. "When these people see me come halfway around the world to meet them and spend time with them, it creates a level of confidence that translates into other things"—by which he means, he says, "successful business."
A lawyer friend of Zell's, who had established a relationship with the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, suggested to Zell that he get to know them; he promptly arranged a trip. During a dinner at Sheikh Mohammed's palace, the men got along well. The Sheikh's father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, who for more than three decades, until his death, in 2004, was the President of the United Arab Emirates, was known for his diplomatic talents and his generosity. He directed billions of dollars in aid to forty poorer countries, a beneficence made possible by the discovery, in the nineteen-fifties, off the shores of Abu Dhabi, of one of the world's largest crude reserves. Fortune recently described the city of Abu Dhabi as the richest in the world, reporting that its four hundred and twenty thousand citizens are worth about seventeen million dollars each. Sheikh Mohammed is determined to strengthen the emirate's ties to the West. He and Zell spoke for two hours about business and world affairs, and, finally, about more personal topics. Zell described annual motorcycle trips that he takes with an eclectic group of friends he calls "Zell's Angels," to Italy, Switzerland, Corsica, Sardinia—wherever the scenery is breathtaking and the roads vertiginous. "I understand that you ride motorcycles," he told the Sheikh. "I'd love to go for a ride with you."
"How about tomorrow night?" the Sheikh replied.
At eleven o'clock the next evening, the men, wearing jeans and helmets, mounted a pair of motorcycles and raced along Abu Dhabi's tree-lined boulevards.
That day, Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon al-Nahyan, who is the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, had invited Zell to see a model of a planned development of an island being created just off the coast, in the Persian Gulf. The neighboring emirate of Dubai has become famous for its devotion to the superlative: it has one of the world's largest indoor ski slopes, and is constructing the world's tallest building and largest shopping mall. Abu Dhabi, with far greater oil reserves and a more conservative, religious population, has proceeded more deliberately. Sheikh Tahnoon was eager to hear what Zell thought of his development plans. Accompanied by a small entourage, the two men drove to a hotel and entered a conference room dominated by a model so vast that it nearly filled the space. Sheikh Tahnoon led Zell around the structure, pointing to office towers, malls, hotels, schools, hospitals, apartment build-ings, and houses. The towers would be built first, he explained. Zell listened intently, scrutinizing the model. Finally, he spoke. "Pardon me, Your Highness, but I have a reputation for being direct," he said. "This makes no sense!"
Zell told the Sheikh that his planners had it all wrong. They should start by building the kind of housing, schools, and shopping centers that would make people want to live on the island. Office towers should be built only after it had been populated. Zell warned the Sheikh not to be influenced by the grand ambitions of his architects—not to build a skyline in advance of demand. Sheikh Tahnoon said that he thought Zell might be right. At Zell's direction, a construction manager began to move pieces of the model around, and an assistant to the Sheikh took notes.
Zell has since returned to Abu Dhabi many times. "We've invited the ruling family to be investors in our portfolio of companies, and they've invited us to explore homebuilding with them in Abu Dhabi and neighboring countries," said Gary Garrabrant, who is the C.E.O. of Equity International, a private-equity company owned by Zell which invests in real-estate-related businesses outside the United States. "They are taken with Sam because, I think, he speaks candidly to them and doesn't necessarily affirm their view." Zell's lack of inhibition has proved disarming in other ways, too. On one trip to Abu Dhabi, Zell and a colleague were at their hotel, preparing to see Sheikh Mohammed, when two dishdashas were delivered to their rooms as a gift. "Let's wear them!" Zell exclaimed. Their hosts laughed uproariously at the sight of the two Jews in flowing Arab robes.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Tuleh
2007 December 14
Tuleh - Pre-Fall 2008
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) For his inspiration for the Tuleh pre-fall collection this season, Bryan Bradley explained his theory of what pre-fall should be all about. "Without all the hoopla attendant to the traditional spring and fall runway collections--the nervous desperation of retail types, the cynicism of certain press types, and the constant interruptions from the oblivious types--inspiration becomes obvious: She wants to look as good as she feels. Or, in a word: optimism." The feeling of spirited confidence came through in the crisp collection which embraced Bradley's love of prints and color paired with simple yet elegant silhouettes: a jungle print coat lined in regal purple was worn over a purple silk dress, while other pieces mixed floral with python print and fox fur. A sharp tailored trompe l'oeil coat in white was given an extra jolt thanks to multiple large black buttons while a strapless black, white, and grey cocktail dress was spiced up thanks to an artistic graffiti print.

My Deca unit caught on FIRE!
Posted 10 December 2012 - 09:16 AM
I think I won't read the articles, though, as I want to sleep tonight!
Posted 10 December 2012 - 09:23 AM
Very interesting article.
Perhaps my Deca grew whiskers and needed a shave.
Been there, done that, been on the unlucky end of tin whisker contamination.
Quoted from: Page 52: http://www.filibeto....A5201-10024.pdf
Zinc Particulate Contamination
Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around electronic equipment. This type of contamination may enter the data center environment from a variety of sources, including but not limited to raised floor tiles, worn air conditioning parts, heating ducts, rotor brushes in vacuum cleaners or printer component wear. Because metallic particulates conduct electricity, they have an increased potential for creating short circuits in electronic equipment. This problem is exaggerated by the increasingly dense circuitry of electronic equipment.
Over time, very fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces. If these whiskers are disturbed, they may break off and become airborne, possibly causing failures or operational interruptions. For over 50 years, the electronics industry has been aware of the relatively rare but possible threat posed by metallic particulate contamination. During recent years, a growing concern has developed in computer rooms where these conductive contaminants are formed on the bottom of some raised floor tiles.
Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since metallic contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination before installation of electronic equipment.
I've seen bulk power supplies flame out in front of my eyes due to whisker contamination.... it's rare, but real.

Back-to-basics exercises are hot for 2013
|Kevin Fielding lifts weights during AGX (formerly Adrenaline Group Xercise) owner Jacob McLendon's BodyPump/CXWORK combo class in Chamblee, Georgia, December 22, 2012. (Phil Skinner/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT)
Forget fancy workout gear. One of the hottest trends of 2013 suggests you need nothing more than your own body weight.
Body weight training includes back-to-basics exercises — pushups, planks, pullups, squats and other exercises — and using the body as resistance is a leading trend this year. A survey recently released by the American College of Sports Medicine says among fitness trends, body weight training appears in the top 10 for the first time.

Please reference your homeowner's/rental insurance policy for information regarding coverage available for property away from the main residence. If it is not covered under your current policy, you are strongly encouraged to look into renter's insurance with any reputable insurance company.

•There will be fewer substitutions between plays.
Tice still is likely to use multiple personnel groups. But he will be more concerned with a sound play call and execution than keeping defenders guessing about who will be lining up.
Numbers gamesSigning spree
New Bears general manager Phil Emery wasn't sitting on his hands all offseason.
Excluding street free agents but including Bears players whose contracts were up, he signed 14 unrestricted free agents between March 13 and the start of training camp.
Only the Patriots signed more (17), with the Chargers equaling the Bears.
Only five other teams signed 10 or more — the Redskins (13), Bengals (12), Rams (12), Broncos (10) and Vikings (10).
And here is an interesting factoid: The Bears have retained 12 of the 14 they signed. The only ones still not with the team are quarterback Josh McCown, who didn't survive the final cut, and receiver Devin Thomas, who decided to retire in training camp.
Only one team has more UFAs signed from the offseason on their roster — the Chargers with 13. The Patriots, interestingly, cut 10 of their 17.
Front office chessDT swap
The Bears had to choose between former Buccaneers defensive tackles this week: Amobi Okoye and Brian Price.
Given Okoye's production with the Bears last year, and Price's limited production in the preseason and training camp, it really wasn't much of a choice.
But that doesn't mean it was an easy decision. The Bears liked Price's potential, and knew he was a player they could get a lot more out of in 2013 than 2012. He probably needed an offseason to get in ideal shape.
The Bears gave the Bucs a seventh-round pick for Price, and it was not a conditional pick. The Bears won't get it back.
If Okoye had not been released, Price still might be a Bear. But the availability of a player the Bears had tried to re-sign in the offseason was too tempting.
The Bears could have chosen to keep five defensive tackles, but then they would have had to make a decision when Nick Collins comes off the reserved/suspended list this week.
Complicating matters, the team also needed to carry two punters initially because Adam Podlesh is injured. The Bears also are heavy at linebacker (seven) and safety (five), perhaps because of injuries to Brian Urlacher and Chris Conte.

Just wondering if she is eating about the same as other babies her age. She gets a 9 oz. bottle in the morning with her oatmeal. Then another bottle the same size at lunch along with her jar of food. Sometimes she will take another bottle in the afternoon, or we give her fruit or the Gerber puddings. Then at dinner she has a bottle with her jar of food... just wondring if that sounds right or if she should be eating more?? What are your babies routines like on a normal day? Thanks!!!
I never worried about how much my girls ate their first year. Babies know what they need to eat. They'll ask for food when they're hungry and stop when they're done. Sounds like your little one is right on track.
I agree with Writemommy... you try to balance what your daughter eats, and it sounds like you are doing a good job. Read your daughter, and if you believe she is hungry, give her more. Trust your instincts!
I completely agree with writemommy and answerdad. The only thing I would add is that if she is gaining weight, that is another sign she is doing well.
If your baby seems satisfied with what you are giving her, i'd say keep it up. Let your baby be the judge of how much she wants. Babies are not like adults. If they are hungry, the will eat until they are satisfied, but they will not gorge themselves the way some adults do. Plus, if her pediatritian says she's gaining the appropriate amount of weight, that makes it all the better!

(Mr./Madam) Speaker, I rise today to express my serious concern about the expiration of the federal unemployment insurance program for more than 1.3 million Americans, including more than 90,000 hard working people in New Jersey. At a time when so many Americans are still struggling to recover from one of the greatest periods of economic downturn in our nation's history, it is unconscionable to me that Congress would fail to stand behind those who need our support the most right now.

Hiked up to the glacier to check out the couloirs, took some pics, then traversed over and across suncupped snowfield to what I think was the 'second impasse' (see route page).
Straightforward third class up to ridge. I didn't feel up to staying on the ridge itself (left leg is still weak and shaky), so I traversed right to something that felt more like third, then did the rest of the slog to the summit.
Flawless day. From the summit saw some guys heading down the right couloir on skis.

Soloed left couloir on good neve, to about 45-ish degrees. Two sections in the upper part were melted out - these seemed about third class in current conditions. Slogged on sand up from left couloir exit to summit scramble and took the class 3 easy way up to the southwest face. On top by 9:15am.
Amazingly, the bottom half of the right couloir still looked like neve (didn't see top half). Wanted to avoid getting caught in the weather coming in - it was gusty with clouds. Otherwise, a great day to be out.
Route climbed: Right couloir
Date climbed: 10-Sept-2006
Started from Saddlebag Lake around 5:40am, got up to glacier by 7:30, and started climbing by 8. Right couloir was completely neve - I was amazed that there was no ice at all visible.
However, the bergschrund was open all the way across the couloir, about 10-15 feet I would guess. Seemed easiest on climber's left, so up I went. Maybe 75 degrees ? (looked steeper to the right) The only ice present was at the bottom of the schrund, so the rest was solid neve, making for excellent pick placements. I would guess that if / when the couloir becomes all ice this year that this schrund will be less of an obstacle (?)
Once in the couloir conditions were excellent and laid-back neve. Possibly ice will form this year first in the runnel a bit left of center.
Got to the notch about 9:15. Headed up the rock scramble from there, and did the 'direct finish'. I initially thought this was 4th class, but maybe it was low fifth (like there's a difference :) Spicy in ice-climbing boots ... got to top around 10:25.
Saw Misha/Etsuko/Pavel's log entries, and added new notebook to register. Weather was simply impeccable and the views tremendous. Saw the third-class gully on the descent (oh well, next time :) Back to car by 12:15pm.
Route Climbed: Right Couloir
Date Climbed: 23-October-2005
Climbed with John. Arrived at the glacier around 8:30am, simuled up the first pitch (mostly neve with a few patches of ice poking through). Not much of a bergschrund this year, but what there is mostly on the left side of the couloir. Started pitching out shortly before 10 where the ice started.
I led the first pitch, John led the second, and I led the last half pitch or so, belaying off a boulder from the top. The ice was hard and brittle. Last 10-20' was neve. We had the couloir to ourselves the whole time. Weather was pretty much perfect.
Exited the couloir around 1:40. We thought about heading up the summit scramble, but by then John was more interested in getting a beer, and I figured some ice cream would top off the day pretty well.
Also climbed right couloir two other times in October 2004 (mostly good blue ice) and August 2005 (partly still snow).

|Climbed with Forjan. This was my first Alpine Ice lead. We soloed the first pitch of neve and completed the climb in a total of 3-60 meter pitches. The route was in shape and a great first ice lead. We caught the 2:15 water taxi for a relaxing finish to a great day. Did it in about 10 hours with help from the boat.

Top Stories
South Africa cruise to easy victory
Pakistan collapsed to the spin of Roelof van der Merwe and Johan Botha as South Africa eased to a 59-run victory.
The 2007 finalists appeared on course to challenge South Africa's 186 for seven, on 62 for two in the ninth over - only to lose their next five wickets for 19 runs in their World Twenty20 warm-up match at Trent Bridge.
Once Graeme Smith - who had earlier top-scored with 70 off 53 balls - took the pace off the ball, his spinners put paid to Pakistan.
Opener Ahmed Shahzad was undone lbw by Van der Merwe, and the same bowler collected a sharp return catch to see off captain Younis Khan.
The remainder of the Pakistan batsmen never threatened a significant contribution.
The match was therefore over as a contest long before Saeed Ajmal was last out, to a nonchalant running catch by Smith off Wayne Parnell, in a paltry total of 127 all out - with two balls unused.Shahid Afridi's bowling and fielding had earlier kept Pakistan in with a chance, as South Africa failed to make the most of a great start with the bat.
They looked set for a massive total, with captain Smith and Jacques Kallis racking up an 80-run opening stand in just 9.2 overs.
But after off-spinner Ajmal had dismissed Kallis, South Africa gave way to the guile of Afridi's leg-spin.
Afridi had Smith stumped as he advanced down the pitch. He then had Herschelle Gibbs playing on and ran out the dangerous AB de Villiers with a direct hit.
South Africa lost six wickets for 51 runs in five overs, and it took some telling late hitting from all-rounder Albie Morkel to ensure a competitive total after all.
That it eventually proved so far beyond Pakistan was more a product of batsmen's frailties than outstanding expertise from South Africa's bowlers.

(Sports Network) - Chants of "We are going to Brazil!" rang out around CenturyLink Field in Seattle Tuesday night from American soccer fans shortly after Eddie Johnson's 53rd-minute goal.
And while U.S. supporters may be a bit premature with that statement, it is hard to blame them for their exuberance.
Tuesday's 2-0 win over Panama in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying not only vaulted Jurgen Klinsmann's team to the top of the group, but it also marked the most complete performance from the side in qualification to date.
In what has certainly become the most competitive final round of qualifying in the history of CONCACAF, the Americans have separated themselves just a bit from the rest of the field with Tuesday's outing.
Along with the United States, Mexico is usually the other top dog in the region. But El Tri has struggled mightily to date, earning just eight points from its first six games, including three successive 0-0 draws at home in the team's famed Azteca Stadium.
The first half of the qualifying schedule was the more difficult of the two for the United States, so the fact it sits atop the group is the reason many fans are scrambling to make arrangements for next summer's World Cup in Brazil.
It now seems as though it is a matter of when, not if, the Americans will qualify for the showpiece event next summer, but that certainty didn't always exist.
The U.S. squad didn't secure a place in the final round of qualifying until its last match in the semifinal stage, a 3-1 win over Guatemala.
And the Hexagonal round got off to a poor start with a 2-1 loss at Honduras which heaped pressure on the team ahead of a pair of crucial March qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico.
That week began with anonymous quotes from players about dissension in the team, and it looked as though things might be on the verge of coming undone.
But with four points from those two games, the Americans steadied the ship and now have put themselves in prime position to claim one of three automatic qualifying places in Brazil.
Here are five of the reasons for the turnaround:
Forward Jozy Altidore went nearly two years without scoring a goal for the national team in open play, which simply isn't acceptable when he is the man who more often than not is leading the line. But after tallying 31 goals in all competitions for Dutch club AZ Alkmaar this past season, the hope was he would carry that form onto the field for the U.S. squad. And after scoring the first goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Panama, Altidore has delivered with goals in three straight games for the first time in his international career. Altidore's form has certainly improved from the past two years, but he also is seeing much better service and getting more support up top instead of being left alone on an island, which was the case in recent U.S. outings as well. The team has done a much better job of getting players forward in support and Altidore is making his chances count.
DaMarcus Beasley established himself as a regular with the national team after a breakout performance at the 2002 World Cup, when he earned rave reviews for his work as a speedy winger. Beasley stayed in the national team picture for the next seven years, but injuries and a lack of playing time at the club level threatened his place in the team. After making just one appearance at the 2010 World Cup, Beasley fell out of favor and played in only four games for the national team over the next 2 1/2 years. But the 31-year-old has suddenly found a home at left back after being recalled to the team in March, and his play has solidified a big question mark for Klinsmann. Since Beasley's arrival at his new position, the United States has yielded just one goal in four qualifiers. His previous years as a winger also have added to his value as he has shown an ability to get forward and contribute in attack as well.
He has officially held the title for just a few months, but already you get the sense that Clint Dempsey's appointment as the U.S. captain is having a positive effect on both him and the rest of the team. Previous captain Carlos Bocanegra lost his place in the side this year, and with Landon Donovan enjoying a self-imposed sabbatical, there was a clear void that needed to be filled. Players like goalkeeper Tim Howard or midfielder Michael Bradley might have been more obvious choices to succeed Bocanegra, but Dempsey's appointment has had nothing but positive results. The 30-year-old doesn't have that naturally vocal leadership style, instead choosing to lead by example. As one of the team's biggest offensive threats, Dempsey has tallied five goals in five matches for the team in 2013. His hard-working, no-frills approach to the game also figures to have a positive impact on the team going forward.
Bocanegra and Donovan were both fixtures in the team for years, so it was natural it would take some time to replace that kind of continuity. No one player has stepped up to take on those duties, it has instead been a group effort. Bocanegra's departure left a number of questions in the back, but we are slowly starting to get answers. Beasley's play at left back has solidified that area, while the tandem of Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler seems to be settling in nicely in the middle. And it hasn't been until the past few games that Brad Evans has thrown his name into the mix at right back, which would bring a bit of continuity to a group that only figures to get better the more they play together. Fabian Johnson was originally a left back, but he has looked good playing further up the field, including an assist on Altidore's opening goal on Tuesday. Dempsey has certainly taken charge of things in behind Altidore, but Graham Zusi also has shown an ability to pick up the slack for Donovan's absence with his playmaking skills on the wing. Even Geoff Cameron, who served as a defender earlier this year, looked comfortable as a replacement for the injured Jermaine Jones in midfield on Tuesday as he assisted on Johnson's second-half goal, giving Klinsmann some versatility in his team.
With life on the road in CONCACAF becoming tougher and tougher, the importance of winning games at home has increased even more. Mexico used to dominate teams at the Azteca and only needed to collect a point on the road here and there to be assured of qualification. But with three 0-0 draws this round, the team has left itself with some real work still to do, while the United States has continued its run of dominance on home soil. In its last 24 World Cup qualifiers at home, the U.S. team has posted a 22-0-2 mark, which bodes well for the second half of this stage. Three of the final five qualifiers for the Americans will be played at home, so if that form continues, those chants of "We are going to Brazil!" that were heard on Tuesday will become a reality sooner rather than later.

Internships. There are a variety of internships available at various local medical and bio-technology companies, such as R&D Systems, Medtronic, 3M, Boston Scientific, EcoLab and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The biology and chemistry departments have summer research opportunities that also provide critical experience necessary for admission to top graduate and medical school programs.
Study abroad. Biochemistry students who study abroad typically do so in countries such as Italy, Ireland, England, Australia, New Zealand, Panama, Denmark, Costa Rica, Trinidad and South Africa. Students may complete some courses within their major but often will fulfill core area requirements. This affords the students a global perspective to the biochemistry major as well as enhances the liberal arts aspect of their degrees.
Faculty at work
Both the biology and chemistry faculty have active research programs in which there are numerous student collaborations on research projects each year.

There are five items in my wardrobe I cannot live without. The cornerstones I rely upon to make newer, weirder clothing look OK. Without them I would be lost.My relationship with my denim hotpants is incredibly special. I pack them in my hand luggage when I travel because I fear that one day we will be separated and I will be forced to go out bottomless forevermore because no other shorts will ever be able to replace them. Since the day I found them lurking in a Brixton charity shop we have become so inseparable that even when I take them off they still retain the shape of my bum as they lie on my bedroom floor. I use them to dress down a flashy top, as a practical alternative to muddy trousers at festivals, and over the years have cut them shorter and shorter so that they are now borderline obscene (they keep getting cheekier). Until the denim disintegrates and falls off me, these particular hotpants are here to stay. A navy blue jumper is potentially the most boring item anyone could design and yet it's my most important possession. The one I own belongs to an ex-boyfriend, and before shops caught on and made 'boyfriend-fit jeans' and 'boyfriend sweaters' everyone was happily throwing on their actual boyfriend's belongings to keep warm. I have never travelled without it and it has rescued me from many mornings of outfit panic. Once when I was heartbroken a male friend of mine sent me his navy cashmere jumper to wear as a perpetual hug to cheer me up. It worked. My Burberry trench coat is something I saved up for a long time to buy. When I wear it I feel like a French detective from the sixties. Yet I love how quintessentially British it is, in that it's practical yet proper. It was either this or a cagoule. I think I made the right choice. Every woman needs s a transportable receptacle to shove her collection of clutter into, and as much as I love some It Bag arm candy I am just as happy to pile everything into a canvas tote. Sometimes I wish I could live like a man and fit everything I need into a single back pocket but that's never going to happen and besides, then I would lose out on the daily drama that occurs when I think I've lost something and have to tip the contents of my bag out only to discover my phone is in my hand. I think a canvas tote bag is as classic as a Chanel 2.55 and the bonus is you can shove it in a washing machine without having a mental breakdown. I thought I could narrow it down to five items I couldn't live without but I can't, so: ankle boots because you can wear them with literally anything. A pair of Wayfarer sunglasses—wear at night to seem extra aloof. Ballet flats—I can't dance but that doesn't stop me from trying. Dungarees—it's fine that only toddlers and me like these. A white shirt—a no-brainer.

I'm looking forward to seeing it soon. I've definitely never seen a West End version but was alarmed, after booking, to read that the Orange Tree had done this before, as I don't like to revisit a play unwittingly. Plus farce really isn't my thing and I don't go to all the Orange Tree's Xmas productions, but I have so far found that only they can override my aversion.
Billington gave it 4* I see.
As an Orange Tree regular what is your opinion of the fact they use Stuart Fox in almost everything they stage ? It seems he's been in dozens of things there since the 1990s. Personally I find that sort of continuity of casting interesting, like the days when you could see Michael Bryant in plays at the NT on a continuous basis.

C.J. McCollum sat across the table from a representative of one of the NBA's 30 teams in a private room last month at Chicago's Attack Athletics building.
Among the 63 players invited to the league's pre-draft camp, McCollum watched as the NBA rep pulled out a deck of cards.
The rep asked the Lehigh graduate to pay attention to the four cards he was about to turn over in the next 10 seconds.
McCollum obliged.
The NBA rep then hid those cards and began a 45-minute interview.
At the end, the rep asked McCollum to identify those four cards.
"I know cards so that was easy," McCollum recalled. "I told him, 'My mom likes diamonds so the first card was a 2 of diamonds, then a seven of spades, king of hearts and ace of spades.'"
The rep then said that McCollum could play point guard in the NBA because he could multi-task.
McCollum was asked a variety of questions while in Chicago where he met with approximately 15 NBA teams, including Oklahoma City, Cleveland, Orlando, Phoenix, Chicago, Golden State, Toronto, Utah, Detroit and Portland.
Another rep asked how many basketballs could fit in the interview room.
There were some basketball workouts at the two-day camp, but most of the players' time was taken up with questions from NBA executives, the media and doctors.
Since then, the 6-foot-3, 197-pound combo guard has been to Orlando and Philadelphia for private, individual workouts.
Starting Thursday in Phoenix, McCollum will display his skills for six other teams — Phoenix, Sacramento, Portland, Minnesota, Utah and Detroit — before returning to his temporary home away from home (Long Island) on June 20.
A week later, on Thursday, June 27, he'll be surrounded by family and friends awaiting to hear which one of the 30 teams takes him in the NBA Draft at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Until then, he continues to work toward his dream.
Since graduating from Lehigh on May 20 with a degree in journalism, he has spent much of his time training with renowned skills coach Jay Hernandez.
McCollum has been in Long Island with several other future NBA players, including Bucknell's Mike Muscala, who left several days ago for his mini tour of private tryouts; Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams, who traveled with McCollum on Wednesday morning to Phoenix; North Carolina's Reggie Bullock, UNLV's Anthony Bennett and La Salle's Ramon Galloway.
Last month's pre-draft camp was representative of what has been a grueling pre-draft process.
"You're up at 6, have meetings and testing all day," McCollum said. "I was at the hospital a total of 10 hours in two days.
"[The pre-draft camp] looks fun on TV, but you don't see what's going on behind the scenes."
