"Not recommended, unless you are desperate for experience"
Pros – Easy to get an entry-level position, which can help to move forward in the industry
Cons – Punitive work environment. Employees have been yelled at on the floor by managers. Unrealistic productivity goals without adequate focus on quality of work. Management is like a highschool clique.
Advice to Senior Management – Hire external, experienced managers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Forgot What Made Them Great"
Pros – Opportunities to learn different aspects of the forex market.
Ability to gain many new skills just based on the nature of how each department works.
Cons – Pay is less than industry standard.
Slowly outsourcing jobs to other countries.
Wasteful spending that results in people getting fired to make the bottom line look good to investors.
Promotions and job security based on cronyism and nepotism, if you don't fall into those 2 categories, you have to sacrifice your personal life and happiness before you see benefits (if they don't fire you first).
Managers are clueless in how to develop people but remain in power because of the points listed above.
Advice to Senior Management – Actually learn how to manage. You always say that things should change for the better but the management model seems to be exempt from that. Management doesn't seem able to see their own shortcomings and constantly assign their failures to other people under. This is the vicious cycle of FXCM.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"A good place to start your career but not really any room for advancement."
Pros – You will enjoy working with your colleagues on the same level as you. You will gain some great experience in the FX markets as well as with interacting with people on the phone.
Cons – Management is terrible. They do not value their employees at all. There is extremely little room for advancement within the firm and they are just fine with that, as they consider the majority of their employees to be a dime a dozen.
Advice to Senior Management – If you want your employees to excel, show them you care about them. It will speak volumes for the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"FXCM isn't a perfect company, it's tough, you'll grow a lot and its a great place to start"
Pros – Great coworkers - its the best part of the job. If you're in FSR, you'll be apart of a great team that works well together
Welcoming HR team - Asha in Dallas makes the the company look really good to potential candidates
Pay is actually pretty good relative to other FSR entry level jobs. However you earn every penny of it for how stressful it can be. Despite the the "cons" listed in some of the other reviews regarding pay - this company pays you in experience where it may not in salary.
Great mentors - my boss (mid level manager) was great to work with and definitely helped make me a better professional. I can't say that about my other bosses that I've had in the past - nor can I comment on other departments in this company.
Cons – Insanely tough metrics especially with the current market conditions and low volatility
High burnout rate - its stressful, its fast paced, and you will deal with some very difficult clients
The coffee in the break room is God awful, nearly tortuous. Bring your own coffee.
Computers belong in a museum, your iphone is faster than these things.
Advice to Senior Management – Upper level management - Interact with your employees more, be friendly, pretend like you're glad we're busting our butts for you - Don't forget how stressful the job can be.
Mid level - you guys do a good job, just keep in mind you're the bridge between the lower guys to the upper lever of management. Be able to occasionally vouch for the guys lower than you because they'll definitely be there to make you look good when it counts.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Financial Operations Associate"
Pros – Good experience, very diverse and global company.
Cons – Limited growth and promotion opportunity.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

"It is very easy to get in to the company. The bar is not very high. Which is reflected in pay."
Pros – - Easy environment.
- Not much of a rush to get anything done.
- The experience you have will really depends on the manager you get. Some are decent, others are not.
Cons – - If you're ambitious, this is a wrong place to be or it should be a stop along the way - very brief stop.
- Management has been in place forever. These few people who joined the company a while back have held the spot and control the information going to upper management to keep it that way.
- Along the same chain of thought - politics is fostered in the company from the highest level. Managers fighting among each other about what they control and how they control it even if it is detrimental to the business or general operations. Example of this is: If something goes wrong, rather than fixing it, every email is dissected to find out who to blame among the many departments working on the project.
- A lot of employees have recently described the company as a sinking ship. Bonuses are cut, no raises are given. Most of the fault for that goes to the partners who have not diversified the business. They keep thinking of acquiring other FX firms rather than branch in to other markets. This is what it seems to me as an employee of many years. I'm not privy to their future plans.
- Quality of people is not high. No go-getters... people just going with the flow to earn a living. I'm among them.
Advice to Senior Management – - Top management should start firing or laying off managers when politics is being used within the company. Although there will be a vacuum as to who fills those spots. No real leaders all around.
- Keep an open mind and listen to bottom level employees. Don't just listen to managers you've appointed while back.
- How is seniority a qualification or requirement for promotion? Wake up.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

"DailyFX Intern"
Pros – You'll learn a lot and the opportunity for exposure and hands on experience exceeds those top positions at big banks. You'll work with excellent analysts/strategists and learn all the while. The position is what you make out of it and if you love markets and are willing to learn, this is for you.
Cons – Poor management, vision, direction, execution. Not only limited to DailyFX, but also other departments. Seems CEO only want to be surrounded by yes men, but this comes at the cost of (1) progress (2) team moral and (3) turnover rates. CEO should hire good leaders instead who actually have a vision and will lead a team rather than be micromanaged.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Good company, bad turnover. (Tokyo Office)"
Pros – Good corporate resources and liquidity, strong industry presence.
Cons – High turnover, poor handling of bad staffing choices
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Great education, limited growth opportunities. Learn the business and leave in 2 years or less."
Pros – One of the best places to learn the foreign exchange market.
Cons – Terrible compensation unless you can leverage past experience to drive revenue in a short period of time.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Good experience"
Pros – A lot of things you can learn
Cons – High requirement to get commission
Advice to Senior Management – nothing

help with food on my road trip
We will be traveling from PA to MA. Looking for any recs along the way. Perhaps cute towns to walk around too. We'll definitely be needing breakfast after we pass the NY traffic area I'm thinking (we're leaving early to try an avoid that).
CT, RI info wanted also of any great stops
Am sure that many will have wonderful suggestions but your route would be helpful --
diners, hot dog fare, what's your fancy?
re: Nonny
re: pamd
At the risk of cheerleading for my town, Bronxville, a mere 15 miles or so north of NYC, is one of the prettiest spots with the nicest main street you could ask for. Pondfield Road is the main street here, and there are a bunch of places in town suitable for breakfast. I'm not sure breakfast shines here as much as some other meals, but Lawrence Park, just above Pondfield, was developed in the early 1900s as an artist colony and is in the National Register of Historic Places. In RI, I would definitely head for Abbot's Lobster in the Rough for the best lobster sandwich I have ever had. It is dressed with butter, not mayo, and is like eating an entire lobster on a roll for a very reasonable price, as I recall. Don't remember the town, but I'm sure it's google-able!
re: roxlet
Another vote for Abbott's & their lobster roll...but after Labor Day they're only open Fri-Sun, until mid October.
re: cavandre
Abbott's is actually in Noank, CT, not that far from the RI border. They are very good, I ate there less than two weeks ago. Next door to Abbott's is Costello's. I was told that they have the same owners. They have really good fried quohogs (belly clams). Since the wife wanted to eat at Abbot's, I took my clams as takeout from Costello's and brought them over to Abbott's.

Vizio Says It Made Money On Its Tablets
LAS VEGAS — Vizio is feeling good about its tablets.
The Irvine, Calif. company, one of the top sellers of televisions in the U.S., said that its tablets are in high demand and that it has even turned a profit.
"We sold out of all our inventory," said Matthew McRae, Vizio's technology chief. Vizio declined to release any sales figures, noting that it is a privately held, but confirmed Mr. McRae's statements. "We made a profit," he said.
Vizio introduced its first tablets at the Consumer Electronics Show here a couple years ago, and has since vied for attention in what has become a crowded and challenging market. Executives at some companies have expressed frustration at low sales while Apple and Samsung in particular have become the most popular manufacturers in the market.
Vizio said customers have responded well to its mobile products. In particular, the company said features that allow those devices to talk to one another, such as a technology that turns one of the company's phones or tablets into a remote control for the company's "Co-Star" set-top box.
This year, Vizio plans to release a bevy of new tablets based on Microsoft 's Windows 8 operating system, as well as a new one powered by Google 's Android operating system and Nvidia 's newest Tegra 4 microprocessing engine.

How to Record Audio for the Web
Recording audio isn't rocket science, but it's definitely a skill that requires practice and attention to detail. There's no doubt you'll get the cleanest, quietest, best recording in a sound-proof studio using high-quality microphones. But studios are also "dead" environments, devoid of the kinds of sounds that help evoke a sense of place.
In radio production, sounds that "take you there" are called ambiance; the sounds you don't want are simply called noise! Studios are good places to record intimate conversations without distractions. But it's usually more fun to get out of the studio, meet and talk with people where they live and work, in homes, offices, at events and on the streets.
Before you head out, make sure you have everything you need and that all of your equipment is working properly. There's nothing more disappointing than doing an amazing interview that was never recorded or having your batteries die at the beginning of an event.
Recording Audio in the Field
Here are some tips for getting broadcast-quality sound. Keep in mind that this is a best-case scenario for someone who has all the equipment one would need. In reality, you may only have some of the items you want, but these tips can still help.
Always wear headphones (preferably the kind that cover your entire ear) even if it looks silly or messes up your hair. Headphones allow you to hear exactly what your microphone is picking up (or not recording at all in some cases).
Minimize background noise. Close your eyes and listen. What do you hear? Birds chirping, cars and trucks on the street, kids playing outside. Keep in mind that all of these sounds would get picked up if you started recording. The less noise on your source recording, the easier it will be to edit and get your audio online quickly. Restaurants and coffee shops aren't such great environments because they are so noisy, with dishes clanging, people talking, announcements on loudspeakers.
When you record in a room that has music or a television on, those background sounds will make jarring pops and noticeable blips when you edit your audio later on. Don't be afraid to ask someone to turn off the TV or radio or cell phone or anything that brings unwelcome sound into the recording. Even recording in an office can be noisier than you'd expect. Air conditioners, fans and computers create a constant, annoying background hum that can't be removed since it will underlie every bit of the recording.
Record some room tone. If you must record in a noisy environment, record 2-3 minutes of "room tone" at the beginning or end of any recording session. Basically, you just set your microphone up and "roll tape" while you and your interviewee are silent. This "room tone" can be mixed into your interview later to smooth out any bad edits and make them less audible.
Set up the microphone correctly. Many interviews are marred by bad miking techniques, for instance, when the mike is too close or too far away from the speaker. The further the guest is from the mike, the more noise you are introducing into the recording, making the guest sound hollow or boomy. But if the mike is too close, you might hear heavy breathing, dry mouth noises or plosives, the fancy technical word for those popping sounds people make when they say words that begin with the letter "p."
Hold on to the mike. If you are interviewing someone using a hand-held microphone, hold the mike with your fingertips (not your whole fist) since this will reduce mic handling noise and allow you to more easily to tilt the microphone away to record your own questions. You can also gently and soundlessly wiggle the mike to nonverbally signal to your guest that they are going on too long and it's time to wrap it up. Never let your interviewee hold the microphone; when you do, you lose control of the interview and the quality of the recording.
How you position the microphone depends on what type you are using, but generally, you want to want the microphone to be two to four inches from someone's mouth, at a slight angle (45-degree) from the corner. Listen and re-position the microphone if your guest sounds off-mike or you're getting too many plosives.
There are many kinds of microphones, but generally an omni-directional microphone works well. If you are using a lavalier or lapel microphone be sure that it's positioned so that it will not rub against your subject's clothing when he or she moves. Lapel microphones are not ideal because they produce a muddier sound, but they can be helpful for recording people who are not used to being interviewed and who may get nervous with something being pointed at their mouths. If you are setting up microphones on table-top stands, make sure your guests know that they shouldn't hit the table (or wear jangly jewelry) since every noise will reverberate up the microphone stand and will cover up a word they speak). Once you set a recording level for your guest, make sure she can see you without having to turn her head and that she knows to maintain the same distance or relationship to the microphone, without leaning closer or pulling away during the interview.
Mike all participants, including yourself. Even if you don't intend to use your own questions, it's better to have them miked and recorded, so you can use them later if you change your mind. If you are using a single hand-held microphone during a group interview, just remind people to wave when they have something so say, so that you can put the microphone in front of them before they start talking.
If you decide to set up individual mikes for each guest, make sure you arrange people so that they can make eye contact without turning their heads away from the microphone in order to talk to each other. Be prepared to use sign language to direct your guests to talk into the mike, back off or wrap it up. Some sound recording devices have multiple microphone jacks, but you may want to acquire a small mixing board that lets you control volume for each microphone individually. If you are using a mixing board, remember to label each mike input with a person's name, or label each microphone with a number, so you can quickly adjust the right source's volume as needed.
Listen. Before you begin recording, sit quietly in the room you want to use and simply listen to the environment. Be aware that different locations in the room may produce better results, as you move away from air vents and computers. Close doors and windows and be sure to mute phones and computer speakers. Turn off cell phones. If there is noise, put it behind you so that when you point your mic at your guest, you are pointing the mike away from the noise. Try not to record near windows and walls and marble floors since sound bounces off of these surfaces into your mike, creating a hollow echo.
Do a test recording. Spend a minute recording some small talk with your subject and then listen to it before you do your entire interview. It will be a little awkward, but if it prevents you from creating an unusable tape, you'll be happy you did it. It's good to record your guest saying their name, the date and a verbal acknowledgment that they are giving you permission to record AND EDIT their voice for use in a broadcast or podcast. Do not erase this; it is an audio version of a signed release form.
Set healthy, solid input levels. If you record too low, you are introducing more noise into your original recording (called signal to noise ratio by techies). If you record too "hot" you might add peak distortion to someone's voice, either clipping their words or making them sound like they are talking into a kazoo. Recording levels that are too hot are also called "in the red," because many mixing boards and recorders have volume unit meters (V.U. meters) with input level lights that will blink red when the sound coming into the machine is too loud.
Bring actual tape. If you are recording multiple guests with individual microphones and need to run cables and power cords, it's helpful to have some tape to cover cords that can be a safety (tripping) hazard. You want cloth gaffer's tape, which is like duct tape but won't leave behind the residue duct tape does.
Backup power sources. If your recording device runs on batteries, bring extras. If your recording device requires a power source, don't forget the power cord. You may also find it useful to bring an extension cord. Some microphones also use batteries, so you should bring extras of those as well.
Keep quiet. As the interviewer, you will naturally be asking questions, engaging in a conversation. Whatever you do, do not egg your guest on by saying "uh-huh" or "mmmm" or "I see" - things we all say on the phone or in person to let people know we're listening and we get it. These interruptions will sound very annoying and you won't be able to edit them out. Instead, practice nodding and making facial expressions that will nonverbally let your interviewee know you are engaged.
Avoid recording from the phone. It's always best to interview people face to face where you can get the best sound and build a stronger rapport. Telephones, especially cell phones, add a lot of noise to recordings and should only be used when time, distance or access leave you no other option.
Field Recording Kit
This is a list of possible field recording equipment. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, not strict requirements. Most good electronics stores will carry a selection of hardware, and you can also order online from B&H Photo (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/) or Full Compass (http://www.fullcompass.com).
- Microphones. Find yourself a $50-$150 omni-directional or cardioid microphone. Omni-directional mikes record sounds coming from all directions, cardioid microphones pick up sound coming into the mic from a narrower, heart-shaped angle. Don't use the cheap microphones that come with computers. Get a stand for handheld mikes. ElectroVoice, Shure, Sennheiser, Sony and Audio-Technica (among others) all manufacture suitable microphones. If you expect to record outdoors, consider buying a windscreen for your microphone. Be forewarned, though, that it's best to use one designed for your particular mike.
- Mixing board. A mixing board will let you easily use multiple microphones and control individual volumes. The Behringer Eurorack is a popular and inexpensive model and has six microphone inputs.
- Recording device. A digital audio recorder or laptop computer is usually your best option (instead of minidisk or digital audio tape machines). Refer back to the section on Audio Recording Equipment for specifics. When purchasing equipment, consider investing in something not too heavy that will last a few years and withstand transport and minor abuse. Smaller is not necessarily better. Be careful with miniplug (mini jack) inputs and outputs since these often break. Transom.org, a Web site for public radio producers, offers comparative reviews of digital recorders and other equipment.
- Headset. You want a decent pair of headphones that fully cover your ears. Look for something in the $30-$75 range. Sony, Sennheiser and Denon (among others) carry headsets in this range.
- Cables. You will need to connect all your hardware together, and many microphones are sold without cables. Your needs will vary depending on what you purchase, but as a general rule don't opt for the cheapest cables. Every cable you add to the system adds a little more line noise, so you want your connections to be high quality. Whenever possible, avoid using adapters to make connections between cables and components, but you should always have an assortment of adapters with you in case you need to plug into someone else's equipment, mixing board or computer to get your audio.
- Extra batteries, power cords, extension cords, tapes, and gaffer's tape.
- Bags and boxes. A good backpack or messenger bag will likely hold everything you need but look for a hard-shell or padded case if you need to travel with your equipment. Keep everything dry and don't store it in hot cars or freezing cold places.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday took away one of the government's tools for prosecuting and deporting workers in this country illegally, ruling that the crime of identity theft was limited to those who knew they were using another person's Social Security number.
People who use false documents can be jailed, the court said. But they cannot be convicted of the more serious crime of "aggravated identity theft" without proof that they knew the identification number belonged to someone else, the court ruled unanimously.

Implementing EMR
MSHA moved rapidly beyond the first stage by incorporating its clinical data repository into the EMR. "That's the core of the EMR," says Eshbach. A dashboard was added to ensure relevant information jumped out, as well as drill-down capabilities to get more details. A clinical decision support system uses the data to suggest the next step in a patient's treatment. In subsequent stages, MSHA will integrate PACS and other systems.
Siemens Medical Solutions provides MSHA's EMR system. In 2004, MSHA acquired an EMC Symmetrix DMX for its EMR. It also uses EMC's Centera to store images and various EMC Clariion models for other data. Its total storage environment has grown to 60TB, which is backed up to tape using IBM Corp.'s Tivoli Storage Manager.
MSHA archives its patient records using the archiving tools of its radiology PACS system. Older images are migrated "from our faster, more costly EMC Symmetrix to a less-costly spinning disk [Centera],"
| says Eshbach. "We back up, but [we] don't archive to tape."
Fault tolerance and disaster recovery for EMRs are critical. Partners HealthCare System uses EMC's SRDF to replicate the EMR to a Symmetrix in another data center so "the data is always available," says Pappagianopoulos. The EMR is also backed up to tape and every medical department maintains a contingency plan to keep operating should EMR data ever not be available.
"This data is our highest level of criticality. We use a lot of belts and suspenders" to ensure availability, adds Pappagianopoulos.
Midland Memorial Hospital implemented an active-passive server cluster for fault tolerance using HP servers and a redundant HP SAN setup. It also deployed redundant switches on the front end of the server cluster so "there's no single point of failure," says the hospital's Whiles.
To ensure high availability, Midland Memorial Hospital maintains two data facilities approximately four miles apart and connected by a gigabit link. It backs up nightly to the second SAN and makes snapshots of core EMR components every 15 minutes; these are then sent to an offline server in case of a catastrophic failure. "We've been totally electronic for over a year," says Whiles.
By 2014, every healthcare provider will be under pressure to go completely electronic for the EMR. "EMR storage is like a smoldering virus," says Run-yon. And it's a virus IT doesn't want to let get out of control.

For-Profit Education Stocks: Winners & Losers of 2010
Capella Education
Capella Education (CPLA)
Year-to-Date Share Price Percentage Loss: -17.94%Market Capitalization: $1.03 Billion For its most recently reported quarter, Capella Education booked an increase in profits and revenue. For the first nine months of the year revenue grew 29.7% to $311.4 million. Year-to-date net income surged 56% to $43.2 million, or $2.55 per share. Even so, the uncertainty surrounding proposed regulatory changes for the for-profit sector led Capella to warn of slowing enrollment growth, cautioning that "new enrollment is anticipated to be slightly down from fourth quarter 2009, due to an increasingly challenging external market environment." Revenue was also expected to slow, the company said in its third-quarter earnings release. The online postsecondary education services company also said it would tighten enrollment practices for its bachelor program. CEO Kevin Gilligan said undergraduate students who had not attended any prior higher-education school would have to go through an assessment processes before being allowed to enroll. Undergrads make up about 20% of Capella's total student roster. "Everybody is going through the same issues," said Sterne Agee' Bhatia at the time. "They are all finding it harder to get higher quality students." Bhatia, who had a neutral rating on Capella shares, added that, "this is not a one-quarter trend either. This is going to continue for the next 3-4 quarters." Capella forecast current-quarter student enrollment growth in a range between 16% and 17%, from third-quarter growth of 25.7%. Revenue is expected to grow as much as 22%, after increasing 26% in the prior quarter. Analysts from Zacks Investment Research upgraded their rating on Capella Education to neutral, from underperform, with a price target of $69. "Capella Education's strong focus on working adults and exclusive online education has enabled it to become a prominent player in the for-profit post-secondary education industry. The company's sustained efforts to expand educational programs helps it to boost enrollments, and in turn, the top line," Zacks wrote, pointing out the CPLA's total enrollment soared 25.7% year-over-year, boosting quarterly revenue by strong double digit percentages. Still enrollment in the third quarter decelerated sequentially and is expected to fall further in current quarter "reflecting a soft increase compared with previous quarters."

Thunder-Clippers Preview
By JEFF BARTL
Posted Mar 02 2013 9:55PM
There's little argument the Los Angeles Clippers are serious championship contenders, and their recent surge - especially the dominance during it - shows their potential to accomplish that goal.
The Oklahoma City Thunder may need to improve their game on the road if they plan to make another run to the NBA Finals.
Los Angeles seeks a fifth consecutive victory while dealing Oklahoma City a fourth straight road loss in Sunday's matchup of division leaders.
The Clippers have been on a roll since Chris Paul returned from a bruised right kneecap and have won eight of their last nine games, with the victories coming by an average of 15.5 points.
Paul finished with 15 assists and Jamal Crawford scored a game-high 24 points as Los Angeles (43-18 ) turned it on late in a 105-89 win at Cleveland on Friday. Despite their recent success - the only loss during the run was to West-leading San Antonio on Feb. 21 - coach Vinny Del Negro knows it will only get tougher moving forward for the Pacific Division leaders.
"There are no easy games. I don't care who you're playing," Del Negro said.
Crawford led the surge off the bench Friday, as the reserves scored at least 50 points for the 10th time. The Clippers are averaging an NBA-best 40.6 points off the bench.
"When the second unit plays like that, we take the game of this basketball team to another level," reserve Ronny Turiaf told the team's official website. "We have so many finishers that can finish at the basket and so many guys who can shoot 3s or score from the mid-range. I think we can do things at a very high level."
Oklahoma City, though, hasn't seemed too threatened.
Kevin Durant scored 35 points and Russell Westbrook added 23 as the Northwest Division-leading Thunder (42-16) beat the Clippers 117-111 in overtime Nov. 21, as Paul shot only 2 of 14 and finished with nine points.
Durant then had 32 points to help overcome 31 and 11 rebounds from Blake Griffin in a 109-97 road win over the Paul-less Clippers on Jan. 22. Since that victory, though, Oklahoma City has dropped six of eight away from home, including Friday's 105-103 loss at Denver as Ty Lawson scored with less than one second remaining.
Coach Scott Brooks still was pleased with the effort after his team's three-game winning streak was snapped.
"We always seem to somehow, someway, fight back and give ourselves a chance to win," Brooks said. "They made one more play than us. That's just the way it is. We have to figure it out going into the next game and play a little bit better."
Westbrook finished with a season-high 38 points and is averaging 30.2 while hitting 52.9 percent from 3-point range over his last six.
"He's a passionate player," Brooks said. "Russell never leaves the game saying, 'I wish I would have played harder'. When you have a team full of guys like that like we do, and they do too, you live with the results."
The Thunder are just 16-12 on the road and 5-8 versus teams with a record currently above .500, though Durant leads the NBA at 30.5 points per game away from home.
Oklahoma City leads the league in scoring, averaging 106.7 points, but the Clippers rank fourth in defense, allowing only 93.8 per game.
Our defense will make our offense let jump on these guys throats early. , this would be a great win !!!
If we win this one we take the #2 seed
You're next, Ibaka!
Blake already baptized Ibaka.
Blake & DJ were at the UCLA game tonight,
CP3 flew back to Wake to get his jersey retired, &
J Cross flew to Seattle to watch his highschool win a b-ball championship.
Found all that interesting... hope everyone is well-rested tomorrow. Important game.
we need to contain durant and westbrook. we have to hold them under 50 pts combined. if we do this, we beat them easily.
Westbrook's worst career averages are against us. He doesn't worry me. It's Durant who this year and last year we are having trouble containing after shutting him down his first 3 years. Hill NEEDS minutes tomorrow or we are in big trouble. Refs baby Durant and Barnes will likely foul out and Caron is a step slow at this point to consistently guard him. Hill is the key.
^ I think they'll all get a shot at the stick-insect.
For me, it's less about WHO defends him and more about HOW they defend him. We cannot put him at the line every time he goes up with a shot.
They are on the cusp of breaking an all-time NBA record for team FT%, so as well as 2 points being a virtual lock and getting us out of our normal player rotations with foul trouble, slowing the game like that will completely blow our own transition offense.
Don't let him drive. Play off him, single-coverage without fouling and live with his jumper... he'll get a lot fewer calls outside the paint and I don't want to get burned for 20 or 30 points by wide-open Ibaka baseline 12-footers or corner 3's from Martin and Sefalosha off of drive and kicks.
And on the other end, go at him like a train... he gets petulant when the tweets go against him. That's his biggest weakness.
I notice every single fu**ing time we play OKC Griffin is playing through foul trouble and I'm sick of it. Their bigs are allowed to play as physical as they want but Griffin isn't.
We need more of this.
I never hated the Thunder that much before but now they annoy the sh*t outta me. KD is turning into such a whinny b*tch and It seems as if KD, Russ, and KMart shoot 60FT's a night even though they basically flop their way to the line.
OKC is 15-12 vs +.500 teams.. we are 20-11. Pretty damn impressive by our team. Basically OKC really beats the crap out of bad teams more than anybody else.
Love those shoes.
Well I got the Hulk over Michaelangelo or whatever but the Ninja turtle is less of a worry than the Durantula!
Hopefully we can play through the rigging today. This team is going to need to ignore the refs, which is concerning, because sometimes biased reffing makes them lose focus. Otherwise, just let Durant get his stats and shut down everyone else.
This will be a tough game.
I'm not the best with math.. I need some help understanding something. Why will we have the two seed although we will be a fraction of a percentage behind OKC when it comes to win percentage? I thought rankings are 100 percent based on win percentage?
Yep, we only trail the Spurs with wins against PO or + .500 teams. Could be tied after todays win.
Clippersfan86 - ultimately, everything is based on win percentage. However, during the season, some teams might have played quite a few games more or less than each other.
Because of this, sometimes "win percentage" and "games behind" don't match up. To take an extreme example, lets take an extreme hypothetical situation.
Team A - W50 L10
Team B - W48 L12 - GB...2
Team C - W30 L0 - GB...5
Even though Team C has a 100% winning percentage, the fact that they have only played 30 games, means they are several games behind.
Teams are usually ranked in terms of win%, so Team C would be ranked in 1st place.
If we win today, we will be ranked behind the Thunder, despite being "half a game" ahead of them.
It's explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_behind
We also have the 2nd best road record in the NBA to the Spurs.
Thanks for explaining this man. Thing is ESPN/NBA.com are both saying we would have the 2 seed. Is that accurate or is seeding 100 percent based on win percentage?
I think you're right. OKC should still be the 2 seed even if we win. They just haven't checked the math!
I just read an OKC article about today's game and they also said we take the 2 seed if we win. Dang the writer also predicted this score.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers 109, Oklahoma City Thunder 98.
Clippers in a blowout. I agree with this though. OKC has been bad on the road vs good teams this year.
Okay somebody else just also told me why. Kezmic you were on the right track... although 90 percent of the time or more higher win percentage= better seeding this is a rare instance where the Clippers have played a whopping 3 more games than OKC which messes with the win percentage. Clippers WILL have the 2 seed for sure.
I don't think they have it wrong as far as current standings. I believe they rank everyone by the GB column until the end of the season when everybody's played 82. Bottom line... we have to win today and lose 2 fewer games than OKC between now and April because they own the tiebreaker.
I believe they rank everyone by the GB column until the end of the season when everybody's played 82. Bottom line... we have to win today and lose 2 fewer games than OKC between now and April because they own the tiebreaker.
Like you said it's basically just placeholding for us unless we can make up more ground on OKC the last two months.
^ Yup. They'll leapfrog us just by playing one more game - win or lose. We won't be a "true 2".
Be fun to see how they react to looking up at us though... particularly going in to a desperate lakers on Tuesday.
Wait so let's say we win today. OKC loses their next game again they will STILL have a better record/seeding? If so that sucks lol. Basically means we are actually the 3 seed despite the rankings... it would be more of a formula anomaly in that instance.
Lakers beat them last time too and will be up for this game. I REALLY hope the Lakers win.
^ It is what it is... they have a few road games to catch up on. If we handle business on our end, we have a great chance of taking the 2 for real.
We just have to win today, 2 or 3 seed isn't the biggest issue today because as you said.. we still have time. The bigger issue is we can't let OKC think they own us going into the playoffs as we have a good chance of facing them at some point. We need to dominate them on national TV and keep it fresh in their minds that we can beat them any night. Not to mention our guys need a huge win like this after getting blown out in their last 3 games vs contenders after a near perfect start vs contenders early in the season (it was like 9-2 at one point vs contenders).
I am so excited for this game! AH!!
Man.... we should have freaking signed Chris Andersen. Dude is a huge upgrade to Turiaf and Hollins this year for minimum.
Tax issues... staying under this year gives us 3 full years of "dollar-for-dollar" for when CP3 re-signs... smart business.
I mean before we signed one of those guys. Not sure why teams idiotically paid this guy no mind. He's been a big time role player for years.
Also wish we had Battier over Butler. He's become the most lights out corner 3 specialist in the entire NBA and is still fantastic defensively.
No need for "Heat envy"... we have a pretty good team, too. If LeBron were just a little more mortal, we'd probably have the better record.
Going to this game!!! Go clips!
I for one wish we had Tyson Chandler instead of DJ. We had our chance last year and blew it, sadly.
Actually Chandler while an upgrade... isn't possible. You know he signed for like 15 mill a year right? We didn't have that kind of cap. Although...
would easily be title favorites. I bring up Battier because we stupidly didn't pursue him despite the fact that him, Prince and Butler were all available the same summer two years ago. Prince wanted to stay loyal to Detroit and did... we pursued Butler but should have went after Battier first and I always felt that way. It's more evident now when I see Battier play.
WTF? Magic usually is right about us but he just said Westbrook is a matchup problem for us? Does he know Westbrook has a CAREER 35 percent shooting percentage against the Clippers in a whopping 17 games? This is the biggest reason we need to win. To prove the haters wrong. Can't keep getting blown out on national TV vs elite teams like we have the last 3 times.
Sucks that we don't get to play for a season split with OKC.
4 games against them last year in a truncated season, but only 3 in a full season this year when it was obvious the teams would be in a dogfight.
Bravo, NBA schedulers
I don't think it was, most assumed the lakers would win the pacific and the Clippers would be playing for 4th.
Who are the announcers for our game? We always get sh*tty ones whenever it's a nationally televised game.
Maybe, but I don't think so... most also assumed a big drop-off from OKC after letting Harden go. I know he was traded after the schedule was made, but everyone saw it coming.

The outbreak of the Civil War provided significant challenges to the preservation of Mount Vernon, as the sectional crisis occurred during the infancy of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The violent nature of the conflict could have destroyed Mount Vernon as a physical structure while also tearing up the personal threads that bound the nascent Association. Despite the challenges, the Association was able to keep the property protected and open to the public during the war.
The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association took over operation of the estate in 1860 in an effort to stabilize and restore the mansion. As restoration efforts progressed, the political situation in the United States deteriorated. Mount Vernon, as a result, was in a precarious position. At the same time, Ann Pamela Cunningham was forced to return to her family home in South Carolina in the fall of 1860 to help run the family plantation following her father's death.
With the conflict making travel difficult for Cunningham, the estate was managed by two staff members during the Civil War; a Northerner and a Southerner. Cunningham's secretary, Sarah C. Tracy and Upton H. Herbert, Mount Vernon's first Resident Superintendent, managed the estate through the war years. There were also free African-American employees working at the estate, including Emily the cook, Priscilla the chambermaid, Frances, a maid, and George, the coachman and general assistant.1
Sarah Tracy, 1859.
Cunningham believed that it was imperative that no military outposts were placed within the borders of the estate in order to physically protect the property. After a visit from Tracy, on July 31, 1861 General Winfield Scott issued Order Number 13, declaring the estate's status as non-partisan. A large proportion of the visitors during the war were still soldiers, though without military aims. Soldiers who visited the estate were requested to be neither armed nor dressed in military uniform. Such actions ensured that Mount Vernon remained neutral, respected grounds.
Military pass for Sarah Tracy, October 2, 1861.
The end of the conflict had an immediate positive impact on the preservation of Mount Vernon. In November 1866 Cunningham was able to travel to meet with her Vice Regents and staff for the first time in six years. The Ladies' Association passed a resolution reflecting a new post-war optimism, expressing their "unqualified approval of the manner in which the Superintendent and the Secretary had discharged the arduous duties committed to their charge. . .under difficult circumstances, the Mansion and grounds under their charge have been so well preserved and protected."2 Despite the challenges, Mount Vernon remained safe and open throughout the war.

PITTSBURG, Kan. —
I spent a cozy afternoon at Jack Overman's home recently and came away with two stories for the price of one.
My intent was to record his recollections of more than 80 years of history at Roaring River State Park, a place we both hold near and dear.
My bonus was a post-interview tour of Overman's own historic place, a two-story Craftsman bungalow at 116 E. Lindburg St., across from Pittsburg State University. It earned a spot on the Register of Historic Kansas Places in 2001 and the National Register in 2002.
It was full of hidden surprises, each a clever device designed for efficiency. Some were especially impressive, given that the home was built in 1916. But not surprising when I learned that the inventions were the brainchild of the home's former owner, J.A. Shirk, a professor of physics and mathematics at PSU.
"He was a real Rube Goldberg kind of guy," Overman said. "You want to see his contraptions?"
How could I say no?
We began on the front sidewalk, where Overman pointed out a device that Shirk rigged up to ensure his safety when he arrived home after dark.
"Down here near the ground, he could step on a metal lever that was connected to electrical wires that ran under the porch to the light, and it would turn on," Overman demonstrated.
Shirk created doorbells for the front and back doors, each with a different ring so he could distinguish which door he needed to answer.
He installed special electrical outlets in several places that were connected to a powerful outdoor antenna, allowing him to plug in his radio in any room and have instant reception.
In the kitchen, Shirk invented a sort of primitive central vac system. He could sweep the crumbs on the floor into a pile, open a sliding wooden door near the baseboard, and push the crumbs into a chute connected to a receptacle in the basement. Another chute connected to a basement receptacle helped Shirk recycle tin cans.
And there were more — many, many more.
Shirk retired as department chairman in 1946, but he remained a full-time instructor until his death in 1950. Overman, now 93, once had a statistics class from Shirk. Overman purchased the home from Shirk's widow in 1954, and Overman and his wife, Doris, raised their two children, Sandy and Steve, there.
Shirk and Overman also share the distinction of having buildings on campus named after them. Shirk Hall, a men's residence hall, was built in 1958. Overman served for many years as the director of the student center, which was named after him in 1984 when he retired.
If you see him around town, ask him to tell you about his historic home. He'll gladly oblige, and if you're lucky, he might just invite you for a tour.

The Valdosta Daily Times
The Valdosta State baseball team used seven different pitchers to limit Albany State to just one hit, while managing to provide more than enough offensive support Wednesday night at Billy Grant Field.
After being held scoreless through the first three innings, the Blazers (14-11) pounded out 15 hits and got a pair of runs in the fourth inning, three in the fifth, another one in the sixth, four in the seventh and three more in the eighth to rout the Golden Rams 13-0.
"We swung the bats well after the third inning," Valdosta State coach Greg Guilliams said. "A lot of guys got a chance to pitch. Those guys needed the work, and they did a good job."
More importantly, the Blazers gained some much-needed momentum heading into this weekend's critical three-game conference series against in-state rival West Georgia.
"I hope so," Guilliams said, when asked about the momentum. "For us, we are in a situation where we have to keep getting better because our one opportunity, I think, is (we are) probably going to have to win the conference tournament to advance."
With just a 3-6 record in Gulf South Conference play this season, and after having two of their three games against Shorter cancelled because of rain last weekend, Guilliams and the Blazers are eyeing a big weekend against the Wolves, who entered Wednesday's game at Georgia Southwestern with an 18-11 record, including a 7-4 mark in GSC play.
"At this point, realistically, unless we are going to rattle off 14 of the next 15 conference games, for us, it is just about positioning ourselves in good seeding for the conference tournament," Guilliams said. "It is all about getting better. I just hope we come out and play well."
The Blazers and Wolves will play a doubleheader Friday night at Billy Grant Field, starting at 3 p.m., with a final game Saturday at 1 p.m.
As for Wednesday night's game, the Blazers allowed just one hit — a routine single in the second inning — and limited the Golden Rams (10-20) to practically no offensive production. It was easily one of the best overall team pitching performances of the season for the Blazers, who combined to strike out 10 Golden Ram batters on the night.
"Those guys are important, because in the postseason, those guys are going to have to pitch," Guilliams said. "It will have to be more than our weekend starters."
Senior Jarod Carlton earned his first victory of the season, only because he was the pitcher during the Blazers' three-run fifth inning. Carlton issued a walk — one of five the Blazers issued on the night — but used a double play and a grounder to get out of the inning.
At the plate, seven different Blazers drove in runs, including Nick Rodda, who drove in four.
"Nick has struggled a little bit, but the last week he has swung the bat a little better," Guilliams said. "I think he is capable of doing that. That was big; he was hitting in the seventh hole and a lot of guys were on (base)."
With two outs in the fourth inning, Cooper Lemonds reached base on a two-out Albany State error, extending the Blazers' inning. Following a Michael Gouge walk, Rodda singled in Lemonds, Ryan McClellan singled in Gouge and VSU took a 2-0 lead.
The Blazers used a pair of singles, a pair of hit-by-pitches and an error to score three runs in the fifth inning.
Hunter Thompson singled, Matthew Fears and Bryant Hayman both reached base after being hit by pitches, then Jake Fields walked to score Thompson. Lemonds grounded into a fielder's choice, but an errant throw allowed Fears to score. Gouge singled to score Hayman and the Blazers led 5-0.
Daniel Hoover tripled to start the sixth inning, and scored on a grounder by Fears, pushing the Blazers' lead to 6-0.
The Blazers piled it on in the seventh inning, scoring four runs off five hits to take a 10-0 lead. Fields and Lemonds each reached base, on a single and a walk, and scored on a Rodda double to left-center. Rodda scored on a single by McClellan, then Thompson delivered a single to drive in McClellan.
In the eighth inning, Rodda flew out to shallow right field, but Fields tagged up and scored from third. Then McClellan tripled into the right field corner, scoring Lemonds and Gouge.
NOTES: Following Wednesday night's game, the VSU Fellowship of Christian Athletes hosted the Second Annual Sermon on the Mound, featuring guest speaker Greg McMichael, a former Atlanta Braves pitcher.

Firstly, there haven't been any new updates for a couple of weeks, and I strongly doubt there will ever be any more on the null channel. Secondly, there is a valid reason for up2date to be so busy, namely people who haven't touched it for ages rediscovering up2date following the appearence of the slapper worm, in the same way that it is always busy following the release of security updates on Redhat's existing distributions.

The NFL is a helluva a drug. No one can seem to quit it for too long.
On Tuesday Brett Favre basically told the world that he would have won another SuperBowl if only Green Bay hadn't shafted him for Rodgers.
Then Wednesday, TO, in an interview with the always cautious Stephen A, mentioned casually that he went to Korea for a little stem cell work on his 38-year-old knee.
That's right. 38-year-old knee. Stem Cells. Korea.
Throw in Summer Glau and you've got an awesome sci fi movie that 300 people will claim is a religion.
"I'm going to come back," Owens said. Later, he said, "a month or less, I give you that."
It's not hard to imagine though, what with a 64 hour news cycle, that at some point former pros far past their professional usefulness would become prime time ESPN stories. Let's face it, there's only so much air time you can fill with a runaway squirrel screwing up the Phillies last chance to be more relevant than Michael Vick.
Though to his credit that squirrel has more followers on Twitter than Jon Gruden has functioning brain cells.
With all the injuries this season the only thing that surprises me more than Stephen A interviewing TO is that 12 news teams aren't permanently camped out on Carson Palmer's lawn waiting for the 49ers to call. With a reported 92 mil in net worth I'm sure he has some space in his driveway. And I know his squirrels are looking for their big break.

1: In general, we should rely on analysis in two individual directions as linear motion.
2: Wherever possible, we should use the formula directly as available for time of flight, maximum height and horizontal range.
3: We should be aware that time of flight and maximum height are two attributes of projectile motion, which are obtained by analyzing motion in vertical direction. For determining time of flight, the vertical displacement is zero; whereas for determining maximum height, vertical component of velocity is zero.
4: However, if problem has information about motion in horizontal direction, then it is always advantageous to analyze motion in horizontal direction. It is so because motion in horizontal direction is uniform motion and analysis in this direction is simpler.
5: The situation, involving quadratic equations, may have three possibilities : (i) quadratic in time "t" (ii) quadratic in displacement or position "x" and (iii) quadratic in "tanθ" i.e."θ". We should use appropriate equations in each case as discussed in the module titled " Features of projectile motion ".
