Loose ends.
Don't you hate those?
Let's say you have about six things to do. You start doing all that stuff, and then in the middle of all that, you get a really important phone call that makes you drop everything and run an errand. Then you get back to the house, where now you can remember only three things you were in the middle of doing.
What about those other three? What were they again? Even as you have forgotten them, they are still somewhere in your brain, creeping you out.
Those are your loose ends.
David Stern, my man, you have got yourself some loose ends.
I'm no Stern-hater. When he took over, things were not pretty. Now, the NBA is a competent organization. The audience is global. The stars are bright. The media bus runs on time. He's smart and aggressive. I appreciate all that.
And what's more, under Stern the NBA has managed to wiggle out of a lot of jams, with some fancy PR footwork, some stalling, and even the occasional berating of whomever needs to be berated.
In fact, I would argue that it has had too much success along those lines.
When really bad news strikes the NBA the media fallout is often shockingly muted and delayed. We often never really get to the bottom of what happened. Instead of lessons learned, wrists slapped, and truth told, we get ... loose ends.
I think the NBA sees the toning down of criticism as a form of victory. And such victories are, in the short term, PR coups.
But in the long-term, repeated again and again, those loose ends erode confidence, create a poor environment for success, and loosen your organization's embrace of reality.
That great feeling you get when you "come clean" about something you did wrong? The NBA doesn't get that feeling very often. That whole idea of just explaining what really happened, that's not a big part of basketball.
Or, to put it another way: You know what it feels like to get away with something? If you get away with enough things, people might admire you for being slick. You'd be great in the CIA.
But if you are masterful at talking your way out of things, eventually people stop believing the things that come out of your mouth, because they know you are not in love with the truth.
I'd say the NBA has a lot of loose ends on the truth front these days. Let me offer you examples of three current NBA stories where there is powerful, even overwhelming evidence, that something bad happened, yet we have no idea what really happened:
That whole pot smoke thing at the Rookie Transitions Program.
We reportedly had an alarm go off because of the smoke. And now the story has passed and everyone who was reportedly there has denied it was their smoke. Newsflash: If there was smoke in the room, IT HAD TO BE SOMEBODY'S! I have made a lot of phone calls about this, to just about everyone who could know, and the stories are absolutely all over the freaking shop, which means people are lying.
No, it's not that big of a deal. But I'm a dude who just hates being lied to.
Here's the creepy little game that gets played here: Nobody directly involved, that I have talked to, thinks smoking pot is such a big deal. So it goes on without anyone making a fuss about it, with the tacit approval of plenty of people with the potential to be influential.
But at the same time, the NBA and the players and the agents are all in the business of making themselves as attractive as possible for national and global corporate marketing campaigns, and this kind of thing does not help build the shiny, happy, hero image that sells sneakers and beverages across red states and blue states.
When there are incidents like this, the truth would be a little complicated, and would affect the bottom line value of the league and the players. (The corporate sponsors have a lot of options as to where to spend their dollars -- why go for the stoner?)
So everyone denies everything. Agents and league officials (who expect media people like me to fly long distances to watch players go to boring ribbon-cutting ceremonies) express amazement that we would be even remotely interested in this tale of illicit drugs and illicit women at the NBA's "how to be a good adult" camp. And with lots of single anonymous sources fanning the flames with juicy tidbits, but nothing that's really reportable, the story has the potential to die long before anyone will ever manage to tell the simple story of what actually happened that night.
In other words, the truth.
Tim Donaghy
We had a gambling referee, a promise of transparency, and an investigation. Shortly after all that, we had word that suddenly NBA referees were now allowed to gamble in casinos, along with word that some or all had been found to have done so all along.
Then we had just about a year radio silence from the league.
Then there has been a massive shakeup in referee management, to go with suggestions from experts that games may have been fixed. And all along all kinds of people -- last week Pistons owner Bill Davidson told the Detroit Free Press Tom Donaghy was "the tip of the iceberg" -- suggesting there is much more to the story.
Somebody needs to paint me a picture of what happened here, from beginning to end, that actually makes sense. And where oh where is the Pedowitz report resulting from the NBA's investigation?
O.J. Mayo, BDA Sports, and Recruitment
Everybody knows that the way top players meet their agents is seldom a story rich with integrity. And if you pin them down about it, almost everyone can understand that the dirty recruitment of very young men leads to a corruption that eats at the core of the American basketball system. The way it is now, agents often do better by cheating than working hard ensuring players' long-term success, and players are made into man-children by deep-pocketed yes men who crowd out honest mentors with their tough love.
It's a problem!
But the only way you can ever really get at fixing it is to catch somebody red-handed. Which never happens.
But it did happen!
In the rarest of rare cases, somebody squealed, and we got all kinds of details. If ever there were an opportunity for some meaningful change, this was it.
The big enforcement hammer was dropped a few weeks ago. Late on the Friday before Labor Day (when it would attract the least attention) the Players Association, which regulates agents, announced the fallout: One of the less famous, and poorer, agents involved, would be suspended for a year. Calvin Andrews was on the sidelines.
His boss, Bill Duffy, the owner of the agency involved, released a statement declaring how glad he was that no one besides Andrews had been found to have been involved in any wrongdoing.
So, case closed, right? Wrong.
First of all, does this bit of enforcement by the Players Association -- whose head lawyer has worked for Duffy many times in the past -- satisfy anyone in the industry? Has anything been cleaned up? I challenge you to find one person who thinks this suspension was an important step in cleaning up recruiting.
I have talked to close to eight or nine people who are intimate with the way recruiting works in basketball, and they all -- every single one of them -- agree the suspension of Andrews will be seen around the industry as encouragement to continue the status quo.
So, to re-cap, that's a once-in-a-long time peek
into this dirty world. An investigation. And ... encouragement?
The idea is that as long as there's someone around to take the fall, like Andrews did in this case, big agents will be able to recruit however they want without fear of repercussion from the Players Association. Even if copies of receipts are on ESPN, you still won't get in trouble.
Meanwhile, does it feel to you like we got to the bottom of what happened here?
The report that touched all this off centered around word of something like a quarter million dollars in payments, mostly to a mentor of Mayo's. Calvin Andrews has, undoubtedly, made a little bit of money working with Carmelo Anthony and the like in his time as an agent. But it has only been a few years since he left a regular job working at Xerox. Where are we supposed to believe that money came from, if he was acting alone? He's an employee. What kind of job can you have where a few years in, after taxes and your own living expenses, you can have a quarter million in cash to play with? Whose money was that?
And who set up the fraudulent charity we heard about?
I wonder if we'll ever get to know.
At least in this case, the offense extends beyond basketball, where the powers that be seem to have lost their urge to rock the boat. Thanks in large part to the involvement of that charity, the investigation on this topic reportedly continues in the hands of the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Attorney's office.
Maybe they can help us tie up some of those loose ends.

What a Dump!; Landfills Yield Riches As Fields of Natural Gas
By IVER PETERSON
Published: May 5, 1995
KEARNY, N.J. May 2— Other people may look at the three big landfills by Exit 15 on the New Jersey Turnpike and think "dump," but not William L. Campbell. He looks at those three landfills and knows he is looking at what is probably the biggest natural gas field in the New York metropolitan area.
"It may be garbage to everyone else, but to us, it's like gold: it's paying our salaries," said Mr. Campbell, a plant manager for GSF Energy of Allentown, Pa., who regards every dump as a potential source of salable natural gas. "As I drive home to Philadelphia every day, I look at the landfills and I wonder, what could we do with that one?"
Part of Mr. Campbell's job is drilling bores in these landfills to determine if the garbage has rotted enough to produce the valuable methane gas that can be converted to energy for sale to utilities and factories. He studies the newspaper advertising sections the test bores bring up to check the age and vintage of the garbage. He likes his garbage at least five years old.
The prospectors are drilling for natural gas all over the New York region these days, not in the Carboniferous formations of the sort that feed the giant gas fields in Texas or Louisiana, but in the millions of tons of quietly composting garbage in ordinary landfills large and small.
Spurred partly by a hunger for money and a fear of tightening Federal clean-air standards, municipalities and landfill operators began about four years ago to hook up their garbage dumps to utility gas lines and to electric generators that power everything from a cardboard box company in Newark to, beginning next year some time, the street lights and buildings at Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.
The three big landfills along Exit 15 are pumping enough gas into the distribution system of the Public Service Electric and Gas Company to heat and provide hot water for 10,000 households a year. Variations on the same theme are being played out currently in about a score of landfill gas fields in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
"Landfill gas is a coming thing," said Scott Sklar, executive director of the National BioEnergy Industries Association, a trade group whose members include companies in the landfill gas recovery business.
As landfills close, he said, "there's greater pressure on municipalities to recover the cost of maintaining them." Mr. Sklar added, "Depending on whose statistics you use, it could probably supply 5 percent of U.S. natural gas needs, and that's a profoundly large number and one of the ways this country is going to cut its trade deficit."
Moreover, Mr. Sklar said, landfill gas fits the widespread movement away from massive, centralized generating systems toward modular technologies, small installations of energy sources and their use in electric generators or boilers that are hooked up to individual factories or neighborhoods.
By gas industry standards, gas from landfills is still pretty small stuff on the East Coast, amounting to 1 percent or less of the region's total natural gas use. California is the biggest landfill gas producer.
But there are significant environmental benefits, said Mr. Campbell, a onetime pre-med student who got sidetracked into gas field engineering and now operates a plant that recovers and processes gas from three landfills in Kearny for GSF.
"Before we got here, this grass was nearly all dead and there was no tall vegetation," said Mr. Campbell as he walked over the weirdly symmetrical flanks of the big hill behind his plant. "The roots took up the gas and died."
Now spring growth is pushing through the crust of soil that seals the landfill, and small saplings have taken root. Every 30 yards or so, a section of well pipe juts chest-high out of the ground and loops back down to the buried collector system that leads to the plant.
Landfill natural gas is derived from methane, the naturally occurring byproduct of decomposing organic matter in the airless garbage tombs that landfills become after they have been sealed. The gas is sucked out of landfills from 50- to 100-foot wells under a partial vacuum, which is carefully regulated to prevent drawing oxygen into the landfill, which would stall the gas production. Landfills typically produce usable gas for 30 to 40 years.
Not only does the methane kill vegetation if it is not siphoned off, it creates smog and contributes to ozone depletion. Later this year, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue new standards for landfill methane emissions under the Federal Clean Air act, putting more pressure on landfill operators to capture the gas.
Mr. Campbell and his crews like to drill to the water table except when landfill dump records show that something dangerous is down there. A few weeks ago, at a site known as 1-C, the drills stopped at 10 feet, short of several tons of asbestos resting below.
Mr. Campbell says the landfills of the future will be even better sources of methane because recycling will eliminate newspapers and plastics, leaving a higher proportion of organic matter in post-recycling landfills.

Skip to comments.U.S. Open fans heckle Tiger Woods (Why now after all this time?)
Posted on 06/22/2009 9:13:06 AM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie
Beer-sodden fans and rain combined for an ugly finish to a long day of golf yesterday, with Tiger Woods and other golfers subjected to drunken heckling as the action at Bethpage Black came to a close.
At 6:42 p.m., dozens of drunken spectators at Hole 10 taunted Woods as he prepared to start his third round in the rain.
"We're on Long Island, baby, where men are men!" one fan yelled. "Put that umbrella down!"
The taunts were mixed with cheers from the majority of the crowd. Woods did not respond to the people who were heckling him but tried to quiet the crowd with a "sshh" hand gesture, putting his finger to his lips, as golfers prepared to tee off on the adjacent 12th tee.
"Suck it up, you've got your own video game!" someone shouted at Woods.
Some fans, apparently disgusted by the hecklers' behavior, walked away from the hole. Others told the vocal contingent to quiet down, which had no effect on the verbal abuse.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsday.com ...
Welcome to politics Mr. Woods. Should have kept your mouth shut!!!
I'm willing to bet that alcohol is driving this.
Alcohol was they key to release it.
How embarrassing for that golf club.
"How embarrassing for that golf club."
And for golf in the U.S. in general. Golf fans are supposed to have some amount of class.
Sounds like they were heckling everybody, but it's only interesting when they heckle Tiger.
Isn't there some security at such events? I'm amazed that this was allowed to continue. To start, much less to continue.
Appears that they heckled just about everyone but only Woods got the headlines.
Countdown to the inevitable, reflexive, ignorant charge of "Racism!".
No, highly unlikely to come from Woods himself.
Never heard that before.
< /sarc >
Me, I admire Tiger for never mentioning Our Beloved President even once in his inauguration day speech.
I think that went by the wayside some time ago. I am mortally tired of idiots shrieking "Get in the hole!" everytime someone tees off on a 500+ yard par 5.
"Im willing to bet that alcohol is driving this."
I'm with you.
This is a tempest in a teacup. It sounds like the fans were just ribbing him, not being vicious.
What a bunch of wusses golfers are. Could you imagine a story anywhere that felt it was newsworthy to report that 'some drunken fans yelled at Albert Pujols yesterday at the Cardinals game'? Or, 'some drunken fans heckled Peyton Manning yesterday at the Colts game."
Wusses, with people running around commanding the paying audience to shut up because these lightweights can't hit the ball if someone so much as eats a potato chip.
Maybe they're just jerks?
I betting Long Island was driving this.
Home of Buttafuco.
Woods interjected politics into the sport, this is an expected consequence.
I doubt if alcohol is the problem. it (supposed alcohol use) is being used by the state run media to marganilize those presenting opposing political veiwpoints to those of Woods'.
If those running the golf event didn't want politics to come up, they should have asked Woods to stay away.
Golf fans have changed as have tennis fans. Everyone of em think they are at a ballgame where it's been part of the game to heckle the batter or pitcher for the entire game.Remember when they threw batteries at the outfielder.
Nothing is the off limits anymore. Maybe just maybe beer sales should be banned and bringing in backpacks not allowed as well. Come drunk or stoned and the heat will put you down before the third hole.
New York Slime Balls... another reason to leave Long Island.
Drunks acting like idiots?!?!?
I thought people only drank for the fine exquisite, refreshing flavor that only a moderate amount of alcohol can provide, and not for any intoxicating effects it may produce.
Yeah. And they're heckling the wrong Hafrican. Tiger is A-OK.
It's the one in the Whine House who needs to grow a pair.
Was there a guy heckling him from a grassy knoll?
Meanwhile, we're in the last hour of the Open right now. ....with Mickelson just bogeying to drop one back of Glover. And Duval, of all people, is making a charge (now 2 back of the lead).
Well, I guess it's about where you want the average scores to be. It's about how little they hit that ball. How very, very little. Excessive noise breaks concentration, leading to more whacks. If no one minds average scores hitting 200, you can treat it like a baseball game, WTH. But usually, people want to see how low the score can actually get, under ideal conditions. That's, like, the point.
This headline is just like the top-of-the-hour news updates since Friday, "Three men tied for the lead ... TIGER WOODS ALSO PLAYING" and such. I have had no clue whatever to who else is in this tournament, who the lead players are, all I know is TIGER WOODS IS THERE!!! Apparently he is the only PGA member who warrants having his name announced regardless his standing in the tourney. SHEESH, enough already!
Most of the 'security' at the major events consists of the older members of the club. They are there to keep the crowd from interfering with play. Unfortunately, there are a lot of classless spectators.
I don't think he endorsed him. He spoke at the inaguration, without mentioning B.O.'s name.
It was a classless thing for the hecklers to do.
This is Long Island. They were showing class!
Which is it?
Oh yes he did, and for me it turned Tiger into just another a$$hole.
I know. Professional baseball players(pitchers and batters) have to perform with deafening noises coming down on them constantly and they learn to tune them out for the most part. A professional golfer though can't hit the ball under any conditions except total silence.
Golf, baseball, soccer, bowling, bass fishing, the most boring spectator sports on the planet.
I wish that the PGA would try an experiment letting the crowd make noise. If an 19 year-old kid has to make a pressure free throw with taunts galore, what about a puss like Phil Mickelson? I'd like to see what concentration they really have. My guess is that they could handle it.
Welcome to Long Island.
What a crock. How many times does a Major League hitter hit the ball in a given game? Let's see Tiger Woods step up to the ball on 18 with an opposing fan base doing everything they can to distract him and root against him........like every guy in the Major Leagues has to deal with all season long. Basketball players have to make a big foul shot, standing there alone at the line, while the opposing fans are waving things and screaming at him right behind the basket he is shooting at. But golfers need everyone to be very quiet. Wusses.
Just one of these moments that makes one go Hmmmmmm....
.tried to quiet the crowd with a "sshh" hand gesture, putting his finger to his lips, as golfers prepared to tee off on the adjacent 12th tee.
Golfers, stand beside a teed stationary ball, hitting it with a large club head...need silence (from the few hundred, few thousand watching) to accomplish their task.
Wherein as a hitter in baseball, stands in a box, awaiting a thrown round ball, arriving from varied angles/speeds/ rotations, hitting it with a round bat, accomplished his task in a noisy, sometimes ear popping ridiculing/jeering/cheering, horns trumpeting, organ blaring atmosphere. Hmmmmm...
Sorry pal, I've probably played more golf than you have. But unlike you, I have also played the other, real sports, so I have a basis for comparison. Again, unlike you.
Bingo. That's not heckling. That's simply being a loudmouth. Some hecklers are pretty good.
There was NO need for this. A bunch of drunken louts behaving as the ever wonderful adolescent tend to do. No doubt they grabbed their crotch, made belching sounds, and asked they guy next to him to pull his finger.
This is not the way to respond to someone. If you don't like their politics, fine, but there is NO need to act like drunken fools. This is the type of behaviour that the left engages in to shut up their opponents. We should not do the same.
"How embarrassing for that golf club."
State owned....no embarrassment required
Believe you're right, and also refused to attend a dinner with Obama if I remember correctly.
Not ribbing. They were indeed being drunken louts. When will we please start asking people to act like grown ups instead of teenagers?
Nice of you to presume so much. What a moron.
Woods interjected NOTHING. He is a US citizen and is allowed to express his opinion. Don't by the stuff he endorses if you so wish but this behaviour ranks right up with the Brown Shirts of yore
I grew up 15 - 20 minutes from Bethpage. I'm ashamed of the way these people acted. It's a shame that so many people on this thread are judging all of L.I. and NY by the way these idiots acted, but, at the same time it's hard to stick up for a county and a state that is constantly doing stupid sh!t...

Lois Gibbs, the woman behind the Love Canal Cleanup, was in town Thursday to speak with Hillcrest residents about their issue with the refineries.
Gibbs rallied her neighborhood back in the 1970s, and residents' homes were bought up and the site ended up being cleaned up. She wants to see the same thing happen here.
A group of concerned residents met inside a home along Palm Drive. It sits right next to refinery row, and those folks were told they need to start taking action.
Gibbs told the group that she thinks the Hillcrest neighborhood is worse than Love Canal. That was where she began her environmental activism, after she found out that her neighborhood sat on 21,000 tons of chemical waste.
She said there was a high number of birth defects in the neighborhood, and many other unusual health-related problems popping up. Eventually, she was able to draw enough attention to the problem that the government stepped in and everything was cleaned up. The government also bought up hundreds of homes so the residents could escape the area.
Gibbs told the Hillcrest residents that they could do the same thing here.
"It's time for industry to come to the table," Gibbs said. "You got a new mayor. It's time for the mayor to bring the industries to the table, and it's time for you to put your demands out on that table, and your demands are you have a two-bedroom home, you want a two-bedroom home in a nice neighborhood."
The buyout proposal has been looked at in the past and was viewed as too expensive. There are around 300 homes there, and the market value for each is some $50,000.
However, Gibbs said that residents deserve and should demand a similar home to the one they have. That home should be located in a safer neighborhood.

Tortillas go pink in fight against breast cancer
Pink tortillas? It's true. Beginning at 4 a.m. Friday pink tortillas started rolling off the assembly line at the El Rey tortilla factory, 1530 S. Muskego Ave.
Ernesto Villarreal Jr., one of the co-owners of the El Rey stores, said the idea for the "Think Pink" tortillas was to create a new product that would attract attention and provide funds for a good cause. Ten percent of the proceeds from the pink line will be donated to the Aurora Breast Health Funds, he said.
To make tortillas pink, food color is added to the masa, or dough. The dough is then fed through the tortilla making machine that cooks the corn discs at 400 degrees and sends them down a conveyor belt to be packaged and boxed.
The color doesn't affect the taste, said Villarreal, who wore a pink shirt in honor of the new product.
In all, some 2,400 packages, each containing 10 corn tortillas, were made during the four-hour run.
The tortillas were shipped to nearby El Rey stores Friday morning in packages with a pink ribbon that say "Think Pink Tortillas."
A package of 10 sells for 59 cents each or two packs for $1.
Villarreal said he's thinking about making tortillas in other colors aimed at kids, but he hasn't decided what color or colors to make.
Still, the colored tortillas will be a fraction of El Rey's corn tortilla-making business. Each day, the factory produces 500,000 corn tortillas, he said.

Cricket's most thrilling and spectacular event has now arrived, with the ICC World Twenty20 set to captivate the cricketing world over the coming weeks.
With a plethora of stars among the tournament's major teams, it's almost certain that we're ready to witness some of the most exhilarating exhibitions ever seen on the international stage.
Yet perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this year's edition is sheer unpredictability of the competition. While each team owns a number of heavyweights, the proliferation in T20 cricket around the world has seen each nation develop of wealth of limited-overs talent, making it possible for a number of emerging stars and lesser names to rise to prominence at this year's event.
Here, we make some bold predictions on which players will shine brightest during a cricket's most frantic tournament.

PAMPA - A Pampa couple was indicted Tuesday on robbery charges by a Gray County grand jury.
Thomas Peterson, 36, was indicted on two counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery, according to 31st District Attorney's office reports. Valerie Peterson, 41, was indicted for aggravated robbery.
The two are suspected in a string of robberies in Carson and Gray counties, according to Globe-News files. Both Thomas and Valerie Peterson were listed in custody at Gray County Jail as of late Wednesday.
In March, Justice of the Peace Kurt Curfman set two $250,000 bonds for Thomas Peterson and a $100,000 bond for Valerie Peterson.
They were arrested March 20 after a robbery at knifepoint at a McLean grocery store, files stated.
A man entered the Puckett Food Store at 115 N. Commerce St. in McLean around noon and put a knife to the throat of a clerk and demanded money, Sheriff Don Copeland said previously.
The robber took an unknown amount of cash and left the store, Copeland said. The suspects were spotted by a Department of Public Safety trooper on a farm-to-market road headed toward Pampa. A high-speed chase ensued, which ended northbound on State Highway 273.
The Petersons were stopped later at a roadblock just south of Lefors, where they were arrested and placed in Gray County Jail.
The McLean clerk was cut on a finger by the robber's knife during the robbery, Copeland said.
The Pampa Police Department investigated to see whether there was a link between the McLean robbery and several other robberies in Pampa and White Deer, Copeland said.
Pampa Deputy Chief Terry Young previously said the police department had an aggravated robbery warrant for two suspects for a March 18 robbery at a Bell Mart convenience store in Pampa.
"The suspect came in with a tire iron and forced the clerk to give him the money out of the register," Young said.
The Petersons also are suspects in robberies of the Family Dollar Store on March 19 and another convenience store March 18. In those crimes, a male robber had his hand in his pocket as if he were carrying a weapon, Young said.
Further, the couple is suspected in an attempted purse snatching in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Pampa on March 19, according to Young.
"The woman (victim) wouldn't let go and got some slight injuries from it," he said. "He did not get away with the purse."
The suspects may also be linked to the March 19 robbery of an Allsup's Store in White Deer, Young said. Pampa police are working with Carson County law enforcement on that case.

Friedrich von Huene - Obituary
It was not until the evening of Whitsunday that I learnt of the passing of the American recorder maker Friedrich von Huene the previous week, on 'Stockstadt Sunday'.
I have been deeply moved by this news.
Friedrich von Huene was one of the most eminent pioneers of historic recorder making. He was a tireless researcher into old instruments whom we can thank for so much knowledge about their secrets that, these days, we take for granted.
In gratitude and mourn i say my personal goodbye to him.

data transfer rate (DTR)
The data transfer rate (DTR) is the amount of digital data that is moved from one place to another in a given time. The data transfer rate can be viewed as the speed of travel of a given amount of data from one place to another. In general, the greater the bandwidth of a given path, the higher the data transfer rate.

In telecommunications, data transfer is usually measured in bits per second. For example, a typical low-speed connection to the Internet may be 33.6 kilobits per second (Kbps). On Ethernet local area networks, data transfer can be as fast as 10 megabits per second. Network switches are planned that will transfer data in the terabit range. In earlier telecommunication systems, data transfer was sometimes measured in characters or blocks (of a certain size) per second. Data transfer time between the microprocessor or RAM and devices such as the hard disk and CD-ROM player is usually measured in milliseconds.
In computers, data transfer is often measured in bytes per second. The highest data transfer rate to date is 14 terabits per second over a single optical fiber, reported by Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT DoComo) in 2006.

"Our daughter Grace has a form of muscular dystrophy called Friedreich's Ataxia. As we were searching for a diagnosis, Grace was taking ballet lessons. During a recital, I knew that something was terribly wrong. She just did not move like the other little girls. Grace has lost the ability to dance. She can walk only very short distances with a lot of help. However, she still loves ballet and will watch on her iPad for hours at a time. She has the entire score to 'The Nutcracker' on her iTunes. 'The Nutcracker' was such a highlight for her! She loved every minute! Thank you for making her world brighter."

Photos: Randall Bailey Training For Devon Alexander
Newly crowned IBF Welterweight Champion and Miami, FL native, Randall "K.O. KING" Bailey, is putting the finishing touches on his training preparations ahead of his upcoming title defense against former World Champion Devon Alexander "The Great" of St. Louis, MO. The match up will headline a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast next Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino / The Joint in Las Vegas, NV.
Bailey is supremely confident in his skills and the training he has put in for this all important clash with Alexander that could propel the winner into the driver's seat for a future showdown with 147lb. cash cows Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao. "I feel great and I am prepared. All that is left is for me to execute on Sept 8th. A lot of things have been said back and forth but there's only one way to prove who the best is and that's by showing your skill in the ring…period", says the always calm and focused Bailey. Photos by Nine5Four, Inc © 2012
Bailey had a surprise visitor at the Ft. Lauderdale, FL gym where he trains. Former Street/MMA fighter, Kimbo Slice, stopped by to get some work in for his budding boxing career where he is currently 5-0 (4 KOs) in the heavyweight division. Both he and Bailey are Miami natives and know each other well. Kimbo gave high praises to the "KO King" on becoming champion again. "It was one of the sweetest knockouts [of Mike Jones] I've ever seen. Keep your eyes on Bailey and don't sleep…this is only the beginning", stated Kimbo.

But in the hunt for a title, Oklahoma City is leaving nothing to chance.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reports they're looking for a shooter:

The top ten includes Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendez, Rihanna, Eva Longoria and Fergie.
Here is what Maxim had to say about Rose:
As a go-go dancer in Grindhouse, our April cover girl kicked ass with a machine-gun leg and four-inch stilettos. And in real life she's just as tough, bragging, "In sixth grade I accidentally broke my boyfriend's nose.†Damn, woman!

Our gorgeous Rose attended yet another event! She went to the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art honoring Poiret earlier this evening – Monday, May 7th. She looks incredibly stunning in a floor length nude J. Mendel number. Apparently designer Gilles Mendel whipped it up only the day before, when McGowan returned from Morocco! Other stunning celebs who attended were Rosario Dawson, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Bosworth and many more. It was such a glamorous evening, everyone was looking top notch!
Edit from Riikka: A total of 81 pictures have now been added to the gallery.

12 'other' swimmers to watch at U.S. Trials
OMAHA, Neb – . Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte won't be the only stars of the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials. Here are 12 other swimmers to watch (listed alphabetically):
Nathan Adrian — The 6-foot-6, 220-pound Adrian is arguably the top U.S. sprinter. He is the fastest American man this year in the 50-meter freestyle (21.88 seconds) and a narrow-second to Phelps in the 100 free.
Elizabeth Beisel — The Florida Gators' swimmer is the reigning world champion in the 400-meter individual medley.
Ricky Berens — The USC-based swimmer quietly has the second-fastest 200 free for American man this year. But will be able to hang with Phelps and Lochte?
Tyler Clary — The well-rounded swimmer from Fullerton-based FAST races many of the same events as Phelps and Lochte but is a dangerous spoiler. Clary will be tough in the 200 free, 200 butterfly, 200 backstroke and 400 IM.
Natalie Coughlin — The 11-time Olympic medalist gets overshadowed by Phelps but remains a strong contender to make a third straight Olympic team. She is seeded first in the 100 backstroke and second in the 100 free.
Missy Franklin — The 17-year-old from Colorado is positioned to become the sport's next major star. She is seeded first in the 100 free and 200 back.
Jessica Hardy — The USC-based Hardy appears back and ready after a nightmare Trials in 2008. She tested positive for a banned substance but it was later determined that she took a tainted supplement.
Chad La Tourette — The Mission Viejo Nadadores' standout is the No. 1 seed in the 1,500-meter freestyle. He also owns the fastest time by an American man this year in the event.
Allison Schmitt — Schmitt is enjoying a breakout 2012. She is the top-ranked U.S. woman in the 100 free, 200 free and 400 freestyles. Shirley Babashoff would like that type of range.
Rebecca Soni — The USC-based swimmer swept the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at last year's World Championships. She also owns the fastest times in the world in both events this year. That's domination.
Chloe Sutton — The Mission Viejo Nadadores' distance swimmer might be the county's best contender at Trials. Watch for her the 400 and 800 freestyles.
Dana Vollmer — The former Cal standout claimed the 100 butterfly at last year's World Championships. She also is the second fastest U.S. woman in the 200 free this year.

I have been looking for months for new shoes for Zumba class. As an instructor I needed something that was comfortable and supportive. After purchasing two other popular brands only to find that they were not supportive enough I was pleasantly surprised and excited at how great these felt during class. I normally wear an 8 to 8.5 depending on the shoe. I bought the 8.5 and found it a little big so next pair will be an 8. I do use my own insert as I have high arches and require extra arch support but LOVE these! Thank you Adidas! ... read more
Exactly as stated under opinion. I don't like your survey format. Review & opinion same thing. Had to misspell my nick name for it to be excepted & now I am rambling on just to satisfy your 50 letter requirement ... read more
Great shoe! I go through shoes pretty quickly when training (usually around 50 miles per week), but these have held up so well. Highly recommend! I've ran in an older model and remember wearing a US 7.5, but for some reason, I had to order a full size down in these. Perhaps it's because I purchased them in France (even though the US size was marked on the shoe as 6.5)...? Not sure, but definitely try them on, just to be sure. ... read more
Just received these slides, but will have to exchange for smaller size. Extremely comfortable, but run large and are quite wide. I am typically a size 8.5, 9, and ordered a 9. My feet are swimming in these sandals. Hoping a size 8 will be a better fit. Would suggest sizing down, as noted in other reviews. ... read more
So I purchased these to go with some Adidas outfits I got and for an upcoming vacation. Let me tell you these are not the Adidas shower shoes I had in college. They are literally like walking on a cloud. I purchase the black ones with with stripes and will be wearing them with EVERYTHING. They are padded at the top and have a really comfortable sole. I read the reviews and sized down. I wear an 8.5 in shoes and ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly. Absolutely a MUST BUY. ... read more
Perfect sandal! Best part of my day slipping out of my street shoes and into these sandals! Soft, comfortable awesome feeling sandals! Buying my second pair! First pair a little big & loose. Now going down a size! ... read more
If you are wondering if you should buy these ? YES!! They are exactly like picture and soooo soft!! I am usually a 8.5 or 9 in shoes and I got size 10 and they fit perfect they might be slightly bigger for others but I personally love my slides looser! Definitely recommend !! ... read more
Just bought and completed a relay run. Perfect fit from start to finish, so light and so comfortable! Was able to cut avg 30 sec per mile. Also love the design and color. Wish it came with the same color shoe laces - or that the site would allow me to buy different colors of shoe laces for any shoes. Highly recommend to anyone who loves running, long or short, fast or slow :-) ... read more
These are most comfortable slides I've ever owned. It's like I'm walking on memory foam. Love love love these definitely looking into getting another pair in another color. They do run big so I did size down to a 7 I normally wear a size 8 in women's. ... read more
Very comfortable and for a great price! Needed some slides... I like to wear them around the house. These I can definitely wear outside of the house because they have that classic adidas look. Very very comfortable as I am 7 months pregnant and needed something soft on my feet. I recommend ordering a size down. I got a 6 and I normally wear a 6.5-7 in sneakers. ... read more
I love the simplicity of how these slides look, and the comfort especially. Probably the softest slides I've ever tried but my only complaint would be with the sizing. I'm usually a size 7-7.5, but when I went in to an Adidas store to try these on the biggest size they had was a size 4. I somehow fit my foot in it but had a little bit of my foot hanging out the back so I went home to order the size 5 here online. When I finally got them in the mail, they felt like the 4 I had tried on. I would say these run big but figuring out which size to size down to is the trickiest. Currently figuring out if I should just stick to my size 7 or go with a 6 since the 5 was almost good enough for me. ... read more
The most luxuriously soft and cushioned shoe of them all. I love these for recovery runs because they're just so comfortable. It seems to be a bit on the heavier side compared to the previous model, so I typically stick with it for shorter runs. ... read more
Such a nice running shoe! Has a good amount of cushion, and last for so many miles! Only complaint is that the arch support is lacking, but that can be fixed with an insert and makes for an awesome pair of shoes! ... read more
Bought these yesterday and awsome gameplay from me just an more improved version of the 2015 version when euro-STEPPING in these i feel like game 6 in the semi-finals[THE WORDS ARE IN A EXCITEMENT VOICE} ........... #ANOTHER ONE ... read more
First things first - go 1/2 size down. Yea, standard awkward Adidas fit. But once you get that resolved, the fit is absolutely amazing. I questioned the "update" from the Crazy Light Boost 2015 to the 2.5 but as soon as you put it on, you'll realize why. The ankle portion of the shoe is like a sock and it just hugs everything around it. The shoe literally feels as if engineers designed a shoe just for my feet! ... read more
These shoes caught my eye from the moment I saw them on another site. I quickly bought them, anticipating my very first pair of lowtops that I actually would hoop in. The Primeknit upper and Boost Cushioning are the standout technical/ cosmetic features of this shoe. The asymmetrical lacing and "burrito wrap" design aid in stability. Forefoot cushioning is probably the reason I rate the shoe just shy of 5 stars. Even though I'm 33 and far removed from youthful condition, my knees hadn't ached after playing until wearing these. Once I threw in some PU insoles, however, this changed and I fell in love again. If you want a shoe that looks uniquely beautiful, this shoe is for you. If you want a shoe with function that matches the form, (buy an insole and then) this shoe is for you. ... read more
