Step-grandchildren of Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels are worth billions after inheriting industrial fortune
- Four sisters and two children of their deceased sibling worth around £760million each
- Wealth can be traced to Nazi industrialist Guenther Quandt whose ex-wife went on to marry Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels
- Quandt's factories were also key suppliers to German state in both world wars
The step-grandchildren of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels share a fortune worth at least £3.8billion from their family's wartime industrial success, it has been revealed.
Four sisters and the two children of a deceased sibling are worth around £760million each, according to an investigation by Bloomberg.
The family's wealthy history can be traced to two men who owed their success to the rise of the Nazi party - Joseph Goebbels and a businessman named Guenther Quandt.
Joseph Goebbels with his wife Magda and their children, Helga, Hildegard, Helmut, Hedwig, Holdine and Heidrun, 1942. Harald Quandt, his step-son, is in uniform at the back of the photo
Both were married at different times to Magda Ritschel.
Harald Quant - the only surviving son from Magda's first marriage - joined the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War and was being held as a prisoner by Allied forces in the Libya when he received a farewell letter from his mother and step-father Joseph Goebbels.
The pair committed suicide alongside their six children on May 1, 1945 in Hitler's bunker.
He and his half-brother Herbert inherited their father's empire which produced Mauser firearms and anti-aircraft missiles for the Third Reich's war machine.
Joseph Goebbels was one of the most important and influential people in Nazi Germany.
Hitler put him in charge of the party's propaganda machine in 1929 and he played a key role in implementing the dictator's agenda.
His limp and sharp tongue earned him the nickname among some as the 'Poison Dwarf'.
He organized attacks against Jews, banned them from the world of the arts and media, censored the news and supported Nazi propaganda films.
As the Second World War turned in favour of the Allies, he increased his propaganda in order to convince the German people of the idea of 'total war' and mobilization.
Goebbels killed himself and his wife, and their six children biological children with cyanide capsules the day after Hitler in 1945.
The half-brothers passed away decades ago, but their financial success has endured.
Herbert's widow, Johanna Quandt, 86,
and their children Susanne Klatten and Stefan Quandt, have remained in
the public eye as BMW shareholders.
The billionaire daughters of Harald Quandt - Katarina Geller-Herr, 61, Gabriele Quandt, 60, Anette-Angelika May-Thies, 58, and 50-year-old Colleen-Bettina Rosenblat-Mo -- have kept a lower profile.

The four sisters inherited about 1.5 billion deutsche marks (£483 million) after the death of their mother, Inge, in 1978, according to the family's official biography, 'Die Quandts'.
They manage their wealth through the Harald Quandt Holding GmbH, a family investment company and trust named after their father.
Fritz Becker, the chief executive officer of the family entities, told Bloomberg: 'The family wants to stay private and that is an acceptable situation for me.
'We invest our money globally and if it's $1 billion, $500 million or $3 billion, who cares?'
The Quandt family fortune can be traced to Germany's involvement in both world wars.
Guenther Quandt inherited one of the country's biggest state clothing manufacturers from his father
Adolf Hitler with his propaganda minister Jospeh Goebbels, his wife Magda, and three of their children in 1938
Emil which made military uniforms in the First World War.
After his first wife died from Spanish flu he married Magda Ritschel in 1921 and the couple had their only son Harald.
divorced in 1929 and two years later she married Jospeh Goebbels, a
member of the German parliament and rising star in the Nazi party.
After the Nazis took power in 1933, their leader, Adolf Hitler, appointed Goebbels as the Third Reich's propaganda minister. Hitler was the best man at the couple's wedding.
Guenther Quandt joined the party that same year. His factories became key suppliers to the German war effort, even though his relationship with Goebbels had become increasingly strained.
was constant rivalry,' said Bonn-based history professor Joachim
Scholtyseck, author of a family-commissioned study about their
involvement with the Third Reich, in a telephone interview with Bloomberg.
'It didn't matter that Goebbels didn't like him. It didn't have any influence on Quandt's ability to make money.'
1940 to 1945, the Quandt family factories were staffed with more than
50,000 forced civilian laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp
workers, according to Scholtyseck's 1,183-page study.
The report was commissioned by the family in 2007 after German television aired the documentary 'The Silence of the Quandts,' a critical look at their wartime activities.
According to 'Die Quandts' the siblings try to get together a few times a year to discuss their investments.
After Scholtyseck's study was published in 2011, cousins Gabriele and Stefan Quandt acknowledged their family's ties and involvement with the Third Reich in an interview with Germany's Die Zeit newspaper.
'Magda killed her six children in the Fuehrerbunker. Our father loved his half-siblings very much. And when, like me, you have something like this in your family history, you think: It can't be any worse,' Gabriele Quandt said in the interview.
'It's a sad truth that forced laborers died in Quandt companies,' said Stefan.
'They have to live with the name. It's part of the history,' said Scholtyseck. 'It will be a constant reminder of dictatorship and the challenges that families have to face'

Why would Beretta choose not to put an extractor for the Bobcat and Tomcat?

Just the mechanism, it's a very simple straight blowback pistol, no delayed locking, not much need for it.
Steve C
May 25, 2010, 04:03 AM
An extractor is needed to remove a loaded unfired cartridge from a typical semi auto where one needs to retract the slide to get to the cartridge. In some designs the extractor also acts as a pivot point for thee case when its ejected.
Since the Beretta Bobcat and Tomcat models have a tilt up barrel that allows a loaded round to be removed from the pistol without the need of retracting the slide, no extractor is needed and would add nothing to the functioning of these pistols.
May 25, 2010, 09:29 AM
Plus, where would they put the extractor on a tip up barrel gun? On the bottom of the slide? That would create problems I bet.
BTW, I was shocked when I first got my Bobcat, too. :D
May 25, 2010, 11:29 AM
I have a JetFire and think the tilting barrel is one of the coolest design features. Real easy to check for loaded chamber, easy to unload, and no extractor cut-out eliminates a potential weak spot in the barrel.

Without an extractor "tap, roll & rack" will not clear a failure to fire stoppage.
May 25, 2010, 12:22 PM
Maybe I'm just being a little slow, but how is the empty case extracted if there is no extractor? I'm not at all familiar with tip up barrel designs.
May 25, 2010, 12:28 PM
Without an extractor "tap, roll & rack" will not clear a failure to fire stoppage.
Just be aware of the manual of arms for the firearm being carried. Besides, from what I've heard their slide can be difficult to rack.
May 25, 2010, 12:36 PM
I have 3 of the Beretta's tip up in 25 auto Have never had a problem with ejection I had another one in the 80's and it to was as reliable as can be. Now the 22 I can't speak for. 22 seems to have 2 many problems with feeding and dud rounds. Which is why Browning invented the 25 auto to start with.
May 25, 2010, 01:32 PM
The .22LR Bobcat can be iffy. Mine absolutely needs round nose CCI Minimags to function consistently. Even then, 50 rounds are about the max I can fire consecutively before I need to clean the chamber.
For a last ditch BUG, a clean and lubed .22LR Bobcat should run through a couple magazines of ammo when you need it to. That is kinda what I expect out of some pocket guns anyway. If you need more than 2 magazines in a tough situation with a pocket gun, well . . . I don't want to be in that situation.
That said, I don't carry my .22LR Bobcat, but it is fun to shoot and cute to look at. :D
Steve C
May 25, 2010, 04:04 PM
how is the empty case extracted if there is no extractor?
During the normal firing cycle, expelling the bullet from the cartridge and down the barrel drives the case in the opposite direction with equal force as pressure pushes both outward. The reason the case being lighter doesn't just fly out of the barrel, leaving the heavier bullet in place is because of the recoil spring and slide weight keeping it in the chamber long enough for the bullet to leave the barrel.
It is the case pushing against the breach face that pushes back the slide and of course the case follows it. The ejector is what kicks the case out of the way for a new round to be fed from the magazine.

^^ Makes perfect sense, thanks Steve C.

Digital signage
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Digital signage is a sub segment of signage. Digital signages use technologies such as LCD, LED and Projection to display content such as digital images, video, streaming media, and information.[1] They can be found in public spaces, transportation systems, museums, stadiums, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and corporate buildings etc., to provide wayfinding, exhibitions, marketing and outdoor advertising. Digital Signage market is expected to grow from USD $15 billion to over USD $24bn by 2020.[2]
Digital contents[edit]
Traditionally content designs are typically done through specialist firms. However they are often deemed as expensive and have uncertain ROI.[3] Nowadays, digital content can be created easily via a Content Management System. Its control panel has built-in tools which allow advertisers to combine audio, video, image and interactivity by themselves. Digital contents displayed on the signage is presented in one of the following formats:
- Text - Scrolling text. Either scrolling text, or text dynamically updated via external newsfeed source.
- Images - Scrolling images, usually in the format of digital advertisement posters
- Video - Usually in the format of commercial TV advertisements.
- Interactive interfaces - Combining with Touch Screen and Kinect Sensors, it allows two-way communications with the users. It helps to engage users and also helps advertisers to gain insight in customer behaviours.
Content management systems (CMS)[edit]
Since digital signage content may be frequently updated using content management systems, and also because of the interactive abilities available through the accompanying employment of real-world interfaces such as embedded touch screens, movement detection and image capture devices which enable these forms of signage to understand who and how users are interacting with them, they are gaining acceptance as an alternative to static signage.
Digital audiovisual (av) content is reproduced on TVs and monitor displays of a digital sign network from at least one media player (usually a small computer unit, but DVD players and other types of media sources may also be used). Various hardware and software options exist, providing a range of different ways to schedule and playback content. These range from simple, non-networked portable media players that can output basic JPG slide shows or loops of MPEG-2 video to complex networks consisting of multiple players and servers that offer control over enterprise-wide or campus-wide displays at many venues from a single location. The former are ideal for small groups of displays that can be updated via USB flash drive, SD card or CD-ROM. Another option is the use of D.A.N. (Digital Advertising Network) players that connect directly to the monitor and to the internet, to a WAN (Wide Area Network), or to a LAN (Local Area Network). This allows the end user the ability to manage multiple D.A.N. players from any location. The end user can create new advertising or edit existing advertisements and then upload changes to the D.A.N. via the internet or other networking options.
Developments in web services have meant the APIs for some digital sign software now allow for customized content management interfaces through which end-users can manage their content from one location, in a way which suits their requirements.
More advanced digital sign software allows content to be automatically created by the media players (computers) and servers on a minute-by-minute basis, combining real-time data, from news, to weather and prices, transport schedules, etc., with av content to produce the most up-to-date content.[4]
Personalised digital contents[edit]
One specific use of digital signage is for out-of-home advertising in which video content, advertisements, and/or messages are displayed on digital signs with the goal of delivering targeted messages, to specific locations and/or consumers, at specific times. This is often called "digital out of home" (DOOH)H.[5][6]
Interactive Digital Signage allows end users to interact the displayed digital content via Touch Screens, Body Sensor or QR code via smartphones.
Digital signs can interact with mobile phones using SMS messaging and Bluetooth. SMS can be used to post messages on the displays, while Bluetooth allows users to interact directly with what they see on screen. In addition to mobile interactivity, networks are also using technology that integrates social and location-based media interactivity. This technology enables end users to upload photos and messages to social networks such as Twitter and Facebook as well as text messages to the displays.
The wide spread of smartphones lead to the development of screen–smart device interaction technologies. These allow smartphone users to interact directly with the digital signage screen, for example participate in a poll, play a game, or share social network content.
Other innovations[edit]
New technologies for digital sign are being developed, such as three-dimensional (3D) screens, with or without 3D glasses (see Anaglyph image and Autostereoscopy), 'holographic displays',[7] water screens and fog screens.[8]
Markets and applications[edit]
While the term "digital sign" has taken hold throughout most of the world, some companies and organizations prefer to use the terms "narrowcasting", "screen media", "place-based media", "digital merchandising", "digital media networks", "digital out-of-home" or "captive audience networks". The term Digital Signage was first coined in early 1992 when a network of videowalls in UK Shopping Centres run by Neil Longuet-Higgins of ProQuip and Centre Network Television was referred to as a digital sign by a security guard who did not understand the term Videowall. Neil Longuet-Higgins from SIS Digital was then the first to use this term to promote the nationwide network of 'Digital Signage'.[citation needed]
China currently leads the world in the number of digital sign displays deployed and number of NASDAQ IPOs. Total revenue from the digital sign equipment market in the United States – including hardware, software, installation, and maintenance—is expected to grow by about 33% in 2009.[9] Another source for information on digital sign displays and impressions (the number of times a viewer reads/views digital sign), is a report provided by Nielsen, the "4th Screen Network Audience Report". In it Nielsen identifies that digital screens in the "fourth screen" category in the US generated over 237 million monthly exposures to persons 18 years or older. The report identifies Screenvision, NCM, Captivate, GSTV and IndoorDirect as among the companies that are leaders in the fourth screen category. One of the leading digital sign companies in movie theaters is Screenvision, with over 14,400 screens in the US; another leader in the "fourth screen" marketplace is GSTV (Gas Station TV), which reportedly generates over 32 million digital sign impressions every month. Nielsen estimates these 237 million+ exposures translate into more than half (54%) of the adult population being exposed to a place-based video ad during the period measured.[10]
Digital signs are used for many different purposes and there is no definitive list. However, below are some of the most common applications of digital sign:
- Public information – news, weather, traffic and local (location specific) information, such as building directory with map, fire exits and traveler information.
- Internal information - corporate messages, such as health & safety items, news, and so forth.
- Menu information – pricing, photos, ingredients, and other information about the food(s) being offered, including nutritional facts.
- Advertising – usually either related to the location of the sign or using the audience reach of the screens for general advertising.
- Brand building – in-store digital sign to promote the brand and build a brand identity.
- Influencing customer behavior – directing customers to different areas, increasing the "dwell time" on the store premises, and a wide range of other uses in service of such influence.
- Enhancing customer experience – applications include the reduction of perceived wait time in the waiting areas of restaurants and other retail operations, bank queues, and similar circumstances, as well as demonstrations, such as those of recipes in food stores, among other examples.
- Fashion Store Dressing Room – Helps shoppers to choose dresses inside a fashion store [11]
- Enhancing the environment – with interactive screens (in the floor, for example, as with "informational footsteps" found in some tourist attractions, museums, and the like) or with other means of "dynamic wayfinding".
Equipment and network infrastructure[edit]
Digital signs rely on a variety of hardware to deliver the content. The components of a typical digital sign installation include one or more display screens, one or more media players, and a content management server. Sometimes two or more of these components are present in a single device but typically there is a display screen, a media player, and a content management server that is connected to the media player over a network. One content management server may support multiple media players and one media player may support multiple screens. Stand-alone digital sign devices combine all three functions in one device and no network connection is needed. Digital signage media players run on a variety of operating systems including Windows, Linux, Android and IOS.
LCD and LED displays[edit]
Digital sign displays may be LCD or plasma screens, LED boards, projection screens or other emerging display types like interactive surfaces or organic LED screens (OLEDs). Rapidly dropping prices for large plasma and LCD screens have led to a growing increase in the number of digital sign installations.[12] An array of these displays is known as a video wall.
Digital signage displays use content management systems and digital media distribution systems which can either be run from personal computers and servers or regional/national media hosting providers. In many digital sign applications, content must be regularly updated to ensure that the correct messages are being displayed. This can either be done manually as and when needed, through a scheduling system, using a data feed from a content provider (e.g. Canadian Press, Data Call Technologies, Bloomberg LP, Thomson Reuters, AHN), or an in-house data source.
Whenever the display, media player and content server are located apart there is a need for audio-video wiring between the display and the media player and between the media player and the content server. The connection from media player to display is normally a VGA, DVI, HDMI or Component video connection. Sometimes this signal is distributed over Cat 5 cables using transmitter and receiver baluns allowing for greater distances between display and player and simplified wiring. The connection from media player to content server is usually a wired Ethernet connection although some installations use wireless Wifi networking.
JPEG images and MPEG4 videos remain the dominant digital content formats for the digital signage industry. For interactive content, HTML5 and Unity3D are widely used due to their popularity among web developers and multimedia designers.
There are a number of technologies which are hoped to have improve standardisation and interoperability of the digital Signage industry, such as SMIL and POPAI.[citation needed] POPAI has released several digital sign standards[13] to promote "interoperability between different providers". The objective of these standards documents is to establish a foundation of performance and behavior that all digital sign systems can follow.

No, that's Stewart channeling Lucy Ricardo in Web trailers for her upcoming daily show, one of several projects that will showcase a new, less-than-perfect Martha. The message of her image makeover is clear: Her time in prison and under home confinement—she is set to have her ankle monitor removed Aug. 8, just days after she turns 64—has left her chastened and even sympathetic. "I think that people are going to see her in a new light, and they might be surprised," says Rob Dauber, co-executive producer of Martha.
Yet some of Martha's movements could get her in trouble. The U.S. Probation Office in New York City is investigating whether Stewart violated terms of her home confinement—which limit her trips to work-related or essential errands—-by zipping around her Bedford, N.Y., estate on her utility vehicle and taking a hatha yoga class. If so, that could add time to her sentence. "We have to ascertain what is essential," says the office's chief, Chris Stanton. "She is always claiming to be working."
Stewart did find time to plan a small birthday party on Aug. 3 (her chef Pierre Schaedelin drew up a menu featuring tapas, gazpacho and paella). Her best gift, of course, will be when they take her ankle monitor off. "I think what she is most looking forward to," says someone close to Stewart, "is having her schedule be her own again."

With hit songs like 'Butter is a Carb' and 'You Can Try Sears.'
We think Oct. 3 would be an appropriate release date.
"Do you want to do something fun? Wanna order Taco Bell?"
In the movie Mean Girls, the "Burn Book" causes a school-wide frenzy. And that fictional controversy has become a reality.
From analyzing the power of "Queen Bey" to studying the history of selfies.
Netflix is going to try and make "fetch" happen again in 2015.

Colorado voters appear to have turned against using constitutional amendments to make policy.
Four of the five ballot measures aimed at amending Colorado's constitution to address everything from fiscal policy to the definition of a fetus have gained virtually no traction with voters, according to a Denver Post/9News poll of likely Colorado voters conducted in conjunction with The Tribune and released today.
"I definitely believe you're getting an across-the-board no vote," said independent Denver-based pollster Floyd Ciruli. "People are very concerned how government is operating. They're very concerned about the economy.
It looks like just fixing it by ballot issue is not the popular approach at this point."
Ciruli said amendment fatigue from voters was evident two years ago when only two of the proposed amendments passed. This year, all the high-profile proposed amendments appear unpopular.
"Partially it represents the fact that we've all been complaining about it - or that people in general - have been complaining about the number of ballot issues," he said.
Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 all face massive deficits in the poll. Only Proposition 101 gets more than 10 percent support, trailing 44 percent to 12 percent with 44 percent not certain. Amendment 60 trails 48 percent to 10 percent with 42 percent not certain. Amendment 61 trails 49 percent to 10 percent with 40 percent not certain.
Ciruli said some of the undecided vote will likely break for each measure and tighten the final margin, but not enough to matter.
"I think the three fiscal tax issues will be defeated very substantially," Ciruli said. "They have no campaigns to speak of. They were assuming by simply putting them on the ballot - this being a year of angry voters concerned about debt and spending - that they would just line up with them. Obviously they did not."
The so-called personhood amendment, Amendment 63, which is aimed at prohibiting abortion by defining a person also looks doomed to failure. It trails 35 percent to 15 percent with 50 percent not certain. A similar measure failed two years ago.
"It is not entirely clear what it does or why it should be passed, and it looks like it's going to go down to the same defeat it faced two years ago," Ciruli said.
Amendment 63, which aims to bar health care reform implementation, offers something of a surprise. This ballot measure trails 19 percent to 10 percent with 71 percent not certain.
"There were at least a couple of things that suggested that this would be popular," he said. "Polls continue to show, including Rasmussen Polls in Colorado, that the health care initiative is not all that popular. It was put on a special election ballot in Missouri, and it passed."
Ciruli said this amendment may become more popular because the health care reform legislation is so unpopular, but there hasn't been much campaigning in favor of it.
» On the tax cuts that will end if Congress does not act to extend them:
None should expire 46 percent
Cuts for wealthy should expire 31 percent

When Columbus Morgan first started working at the hospital in Pampa, he was paid the princely sum of $125 a month and one free meal a day. Of course, for Morgan, that meal had to be eaten at a table in the hospital's cafeteria kitchen, not in the dining room where the white folks might see him.
You see, Morgan is black, and in 1960, Jim Crow laws were everywhere.
"Oh, I've seen people barred from eating in the dining room," he said. "When you went to lunch, it was like separating Dallas and Fort Worth. If you were black, you went to the left. Otherwise, you went to the right."
Times change. Civil rights change. Social acceptance changes. Even Morgan changed. Not so much as a person, but his job within the hospital.
This week marks Morgan's 50th year with what is now the Pampa Regional Medical Center. He started out as an orderly, one of the low rungs on the ladder. At age 19 and unable to finish high school, it was mainly just to grab steady work.
"I was just looking for a job, trying to see if I could get ahead. And, boy, I made a lot of money," he said with a laugh. "During the particular time, all I wanted to do was stay ahead. But I ran into a lot more decent people than bad, if that tells you anything. A lot more. That's the reason I stayed."
Morgan, 69, quit being an orderly about 48 years ago. All the time since, he's been an operating technician, an assistant to the surgeon who works in step with the surgical team. A Pampa doctor, a white doctor, the late Marvin Overton, saw something in that young orderly and encouraged him to take the necessary classes to become an operating tech.
"He was the one who propped me up," Morgan said. "He even gave me a credit card for going to school and driving back and forth to Amarillo in the evenings. He was the one who grabbed me by the seat of my pants."
It was actually one day in the early 1960s. Dr. Overton had a back injury, but was going on with a surgery anyway. An orderly was needed to possibly assist him physically. Morgan was off that day, but when the nursing director called to ask if he could assist in the surgery, he was there in a flash.
"That's how I got involved in it," he said. "And a lot of times when I wasn't busy, I was observing a lot. I kinda fell in with them. But believe it or not, it wasn't all peaches and cream when I started."
No, I'm sure it wasn't. But Columbus Morgan has a knack for finding the peaches and cream among the spinach and lima beans of life. As he will tell you, he loves people.
"I can make you smile a lot of times even if you're hurting," he said. "I've had people say, 'You're the last person I see and you're the one smiling and talking to me.' It just makes my day. That's the best, I tell you."
But Morgan is more than a smile and an engaging personality. He's very good at what he does. After all these years, he's almost able to read a surgeon's mind as to the instrument he needs and the next step.
"I can tell you in the last 32 years that I've been associated with him in the operating room, he has been my right hand," said Pampa physician Dr. Vijay Mohan. "So that should explain how important he is, especially since I'm right-handed."
Mohan cites Morgan's aseptic techniques to avoid infection, his dexterity, and his anticipation as being invaluable as he assists anywhere from 10 to 15 doctors.
"You should be able to know what a doctor needs before he asks for it," Morgan said. "It's a challenge of the mind. You either love it or hate it."
Mohan likens a good operating tech to having a good tango dance partner, each one performing in step with the other.
"I always felt perfectly at ease with Columbus," Mohan said. "I'm not trying to diminish the other people, but Columbus and I, it was like we have mental telepathy. He has the presence of mind to expect unexpected things during surgery."
Pearl, Columbus' wife, is going to let him decide when to retire. Their three grown children would like for him to hang it up. It's slower than the breakneck pace it used to be, when Morgan was the only operating tech, when he was on call seven days a week, and working a lot of 14-hour days.
"One morning I'll probably wake up and think I've had enough," Morgan said. "But I still wake up every morning thinking I'm going to help some people today. And that makes me feel real good."

Brent Scott was an assistant coach at Rice for the 2007-08 season. Below is the bio written about Scott prior to the year.
Former Rice Owl basketball great Brent Scott is in his second season as assistant basketball coach at Rice University. After 14 seasons, Scott retired from playing professional basketball in Europe after spending the 2006-07 season with AEK Athens in Greece.
Scott, a Lansing, Michigan, native, was originally recruited to Rice by former head coach Willis Wilson, who was then an assistant coach. Four years later, Scott concluded his collegiate career as the Owls' all-time leading scorer and rebounder with 1,906 points and 1,049 rebounds. He was a three-time second-team All-Southwest Conference selection (1991, 1992, and 1993) and he led the team in scoring his sophomore (16.9) and junior (15.8) years. During his senior season, Scott averaged a career-high 17.3 points per game. He came to Rice after averaging 17 points and 10 boards for the Everett (H.S.) Vikings in 1989.
Basketball Odyssey
Sixteen professional teams. Eight professional leagues. Five countries. Thus was the life of Brent Scott's 14-year professional basketball career.
Scott, a resident of Jones College, was the 82nd pick in the 1993 CBA draft by the Rapid City Hoops, but he ended up playing for Larissa (Greece) in 1994 and 1995. In the summer of 1995, he played for the Miami Tropics in the USBL where he averaged 22.8 ppg and 12 rebounds. For the 1996 season, he played in Italy with Libertas Forlì (16.5 ppg) and then in the summer of 1996 for the USBL's Portland Mountain Cats, where he averaged a league-high 29.8 ppg with a 13.0 rebounding average.
He reached the NBA in 1996-97 with the Indiana Pacers and played in 16 games and then played for the Atlantic City Seagulls in the USBL. For the 1997 season, Scott went back to Europe and competed for Taugres Saski Baskonia Vitoria in Spain (14 ppg) and the next season he played for Reggio Calabria in Italy (19.8 ppg). He returned to Spain for the 1999-2000 campaign with Real Madrid where he averaged10.2 ppg as Real Madrid captured the Spanish National Championship. He returned to Reggio Calabria for the 2001 season and posted a 19.9 scoring average. For 2002, Scott played in Italy for Pallalcesto Amatori Udine (12.2 ppg) and in 2003 he played for PAOK Thessaloniki (Greece) and averaged 15.3 points a game. During the 2004 season, he moved back to Spain and competed for Murcia CB (16.9 ppg) and in 2005 he played for Joventut Badalona (Spain). In 2006, he competed for Zaragoza (Spain), and WTK Anwil (Poland). For 2007, Scott played for AEK Athens (Greece) and averaged 10.4 ppg and 6.2 boards in 36 games.
With what Scott has seen and accomplished as a basketball player it can only help in his transition to being a basketball coach for the Rice Owls.
He earned his bachelor of arts degree from Rice University in kinesiology in 2003. Brent and his wife, Brooke, have two daughters, Brekayla (8) and Berklee (4).
Brent Scott Career Highlights
Won the 2000 Spanish National Championship with Real Madrid
Played 13 years on First Division level European teams
Participated in the 1994 Greek All-Star Game
Played in the 1997 Spanish All-Star Game
Played the 1998 and 2001 Italian All-Star Game
Named to the 1997 USBL First Team
Led the 1996 USBL in scoring (29.8 ppg.)
Member of the U.S. Junior National Team that won gold at the 1991 World Junior Championship in Edmonton, Canada, and won the Tournament of the Americas in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Song Of The Day: N.E.R.D., Nelly Furtado go Burning Man for 'Hot-n-Fun' music video
N.E.R.D.'s "Hot-n-Fun" is advising you to pick up hitchhikers.
The video for the new track from the hip-hop act -- featuring vocalist Nelly Furtado -- may have you seeing visions. Never in the history of the world did any hitchhiker you've ever picked up look that bootylicious (and have all their teeth). And they're all in love with Pharell. That's what you get for going to Burning Man.
The clip is as brainless and "totally obvi" as the song itself: it's called "Hot-n-Fun," so what were you expecting? Let's get right. Look at you. Look at me. Miss you. Hot 'n' fun. That's it. It isn't a bad thing in this case, with a funk clap-beat that makes me regret it wasn't out in time for our 25 Summer Jams list.
It's the first single from forthcoming "Nothing," out Sept. 7.
