New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers: 8 Keys to the Game for Big Blue
By Doug Rush ,
The New York Giants have had almost 14 days to think about this game coming up.
The Green Bay Packers have had almost 10 months to think about it.
The last time the Giants and Packers met was at Lambeau Field back in January and the Giants pulled off a 37-20 upset in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs.
It was a victory that propelled the Giants to the NFC Championship and then a Super Bowl XLVI victory.
Now, the two teams are on a collision course to meet again on Sunday night in MetLife Stadium in a nationally televised game on NBC.
Here are some of the key things to look for with the Giants against Green Bay.
The outside linebacker of the Green Bay Packers has not seen the field since they beat the Arizona Cardinals due to a hamstring injury.
He's currently listed as questionable and his status for the game on Sunday is unknown.
He has nine sacks on the year, but hasn't recorded one since the end of October against the Rams.
Despite that, when he's on the field, you have to know where he is at all times because he is a force to be reckoned with.
Without him, it takes away from the Packers defense and their ability to blitz the quarterback. There could be a sigh of relief from Eli Manning if Matthews is not on the field.
Two weeks ago after their brutal 31-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Eli Manning swore he didn't have a sore shoulder.
Whether he was telling the truth or just didn't want to admit it, we all know he needed a week off to rest; both physically and mentally.
He got the rest and he said there was a lot more zip throwing the ball during practice, which is really good news for the Giants offense.
Manning has yet to throw a touchdown pass since their win against the Washington Redskins back in October.
That's three straight games and four straight weeks with Manning not throwing a TD pass, which is uncommon given the year Manning started out having.
But if his arm was tired, hopefully the rest helped it, and I think on Sunday, he'll break out of the TD-less slump against the Packers defense.
If there was ever a game where the Giants defensive line needed to snap out of a funk, it's the one this Sunday.
Heading into the game, Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 32 times already.
In all of 2011, Rodgers was sacked just 36 times. In 2010, he was sacked just 31 times.
And he's already been taken down 32 times, which means the Packers offensive line isn't doing a good enough job of protecting their MVP quarterback.
The Giants' fearsome pass rush in 2012 has not really been much of a factor during the season.
Jason Pierre-Paul leads the team with 6.5 sacks, which is really low for him given his talent ability.
Linval Jospeh is tied for second on the team with four, and he's a defensive tackle.
Osi Umenyiora also has four and Justin Tuck has three, which, again, are very low numbers for their talents as well.
If the Giants want any chance of stopping the Packers high-octane offense, they have to put a ton of pressure on Rodgers, take him to the ground as often as possible and force him to make mistakes.
The Giants did it back in January, they can do it again on Sunday.
I'm not going to lie. The Packers receiving corps flat out scares me.
Even without Greg Jennings, they still have so much talent for Aaron Rodgers to throw to.
Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Randall Cobb, Donald Driver and Jermichael Finley make for a very deadly group of targets that can slash a defense.
Jennings is a big part of that group too, but he's been out since the end of September after needing surgery for a groin/abdomen injury and his status is unknown for Sunday.
Without Jennings though, Cobb has stepped up and become a deadly playmaker for the Packers with 574 yards and seven touchdowns thus far.
Jones leads the team with eight touchdowns and 495 yards receiving.
So even if Jennings can't play, Rodgers isn't sweating it because he knows what kind of weapons he has.
The question is, can the Giants secondary slow them down?
Last week, the Detroit Lions held Green Bay to just 14 points until the fourth quarter.
None of the receivers of Green Bay went over 100 yards, and I think if the Giants secondary can pull that off, they will have a chance in the game to stop the Packers.
If you can find one weakness in the Packers defense, I think it's in their secondary.
And I have a feeling Eli Manning and his weapons may take advantage of it.
Charles Woodson is not playing in the game due to a collarbone injury, and personally, I think he's their best player in the secondary.
Starting cornerback Sam Shields is also out for the game on Sunday against the Giants with an ankle injury.
So it will be up to quite a few rookies on the Packers defense to try and stop Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Martellus Bennett in the open field.
Nicks has been slowly easing his way back into the Giants offensive game plan and had a decent game against the Bengals two weeks ago.
Cruz and Bennett have been non-factors over the last couple of weeks, but I think they are both due to bust out and break out against the Packers secondary.
Honestly, I don't like Green Bay's chances of trying to slow down Nicks and Cruz and I see both of them having 100-yard games.
Before the game against the Bengals, Eli Manning had been sacked just eight times all year.
Against Cincinnati, Manning got dropped four times, which increased his total to 12. It's still a low number, but it's also a reason why they lost 31-13 two weeks ago.
One of the big reasons why the Giants started out 6-2 was that they were keeping Manning upright and off his back and allowing him to make plays.
I think when David Diehl was inserted back into the lineup is when Manning started taking more sacks and getting exposed to hits against the opposition.
If Diehl needs to go back on the bench for Eli to stop getting sacked so much, then so be it, because Manning can't be a sitting duck out there.
Manning has to be able to look down the field and find who he can get the ball to, and he can't do that when he's lying on his face or back.
Aside from Clay Matthews, the Packers aren't really a team that sack the quarterback all that much, which could play to Manning's advantage on Sunday.
If Manning doesn't have to worry about getting brought down, then he can have all day to make plays to his receivers.
The Giants' passing game feeds off the run.
If the Giants can run the ball effectively against any opponent, then their passing attack becomes very hard to stop.
Ahmad Bradshaw has not been practicing due to a foot injury that has been lingering and he is questionable against Green Bay.
If Bradshaw can't go, Andre Brown will get the nod and he's been having a solid start to his 2012 season with 321 yards and seven touchdowns.
The only time in 2012 when the Giants rushed for over 100 yards combined and lost was against the Bengals.
Every other time, they have won the four other games.
As for Green Bay stopping the run, when they hold an opponent to less than 100 yards, they usually win.
The only time they won while allowing over 100 yards rushing was against the Rams (108).
We know the Packers secondary is prone to giving up a lot of yards and points, but the real key against their defense is how well the Giants can run the football against them.
If Bradshaw and Brown can get going and get over 100 yards, they have a great shot of winning.
In the end, it will come down to the two leaders of each team.
Eli Manning vs. Aaron Rodgers.
In the game they played at MetLife Stadium last December, both quarterbacks had an outstanding game.
Manning was 23-for-40 with 347 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Rodgers was 28-for-46 with 369 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
What that game came down to was Rodgers having the ball last, as he drove the Packers down the field and set up Mason Corsby's game-winning 30-yard field goal.
In the playoff game in January at Lambeau Field, it was a totally different story.
Rodgers was 26-for-46 with 264 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Manning was 21-for-33 with 330 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
What also helped was that during the playoff game, Rodgers was sacked four times and the Packers had four turnovers in the game.
If this game is close, it could come down to whoever has the ball last.
But if not, whichever team creates the most pressure causes the most turnovers and makes the fewest mistakes should end up with the victory on Sunday.
Those mistakes definitely tie into Rodgers and Manning, because the quarterback who ends up having the better game out of the two usually has their team winning the game.
It should be a very fun game to watch on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.

Good luck, CreateIT ..
Thanks candeed createIT
Can you provide me with the simple php that would email me on the contact form and book a table since it is one of the main features of the site?
we'll post PHP files there
cheers, createIT
BTW – the template is rockin'.
thanks! Don't forget to rate it please
Love this theme but it does seem very slow to load?
Anyone else noticed this?
Hey, I think it's a matter of our demo server – it's getting slower and slower everyday. May I ask where are you located? Maybe it's a matter of our location – it's in Europe.
Thanks! createIT team
nice template and very close to what I was looking for as for the background and rustic look. I want to isolate the wooden elements such as the wood planks and chains showing the weekly specials. It says you include the PSDs, does this include the wood background by itself without the green and the wooden planks and chains without the writing?
I just want to make sure before buying. Thank you in advance!
Hi DawsonC,
All elements are isolated and on their own layers. All typography can be deselected and is not combined with the graphics. All graphics are separate.
Thanks, createIT
just one more thing, can I view this on my iPhone?
Hi DawsonC, Yes, this layout is responsive so it will adjust it's content to device resolution (like iPhone).
Thanks, createIT
Thanks for your quick response on previous questions. Just one more question. Is this HTML5 and CSS3 or does it include other technologies or frameworks?
Yes, it's HTML5 and CSS3. Javascript framework is jQuery and CSS framework is Twitter Bootstrap.
This theme will also send email messages when someone is using Book a Table or Contact Form. In this case PHP is required to actually send email messages.
Thanks, createIT
All I've ever done are Wordpress templates. I'd like to learn HTML however and thought working with this template might be the best way to start. I basically want the same layout just change pics,logos,text etc. Is this hard to do?
Hi kcmojoe,
It's hard to tell;) I think it won't be difficult but time consuming – it really depends how many changes you plan to do.
Thanks, createIT
I just need help with the menu….subcatagories of the menu items etc. All of the products are there I just cant seem to get them to work. =)
Sure, please do not hesitate to post a support request here: http://support.createit.pl
Our support team will be more than happy to help you out.
Thanks, createIT
Hi, I can't seem to get the PHP contact & booking forms to work. Is there another way this can be configured ? Testing live only comes up with an error message.
Hi brightondesign,
Using contact form may be tricky due to different server setups. Please post a new question at http://support.createit.pl – our support team will guide you how to make it work.
Thanks, createIT
Thanks, just lodged it then, Looking forward to hearing back from you.
The pizza layout is just what i was looking after. One question b4 i might purchase this. I do not need any kind of php involved in templates because i put it into a CMS and make all those by myself. So, is it easy to take all the php and such away (are they well commented in code?). And because i need a menu that has over 40 pizzas, is it a problem when creating the menu? (I see that it loops all, drinks, etc. but not one set of something).
Layout is clear, white space awesome. Thanks for reply in advance.
Oh, and do You plan to fix errors if found?
Ok, i purchased this cos my family is waiting for new site and i dont want them to be "on hold". Hope this works as it should. If all goes well, will give stars enough to make you happy
Hi jokipoika,
Glad you like it:) Regarding PHP – we only use it to send emails, all other elements are only HTML5,CSS3 and jQuery.
I think you shouldn't have any problems to incorporate it into your CMS – code is based on twitter bootstrap framework.
If you have any technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact our support team: http://support.createit.pl
Thanks and good luck!:) createIT
Thanks for the reply. Ok, is there any meta-tags or else that i should be aware of? I mean i have seen a lot of templates that has twitter etc. account infos from the maker and thats always takee time from me, to look all and search all to make sure the code is clean from tags that should not be there.
Anyway, I'm going to do some tests today and yell back if i spot something that might need your attention. Keep these up – i bet there is a lot of others that looks after restaurant/pizzeria etc. kind of templates cos we, humans, have to eat every day LOL
Hey, from where you can add rows into menucard. It gives out just 5 to half1 and to half2. Thanks
Could you please post this question to our support forum: http://support.createit.pl? To answer it, some code snippets will be required so comments are not the best place for it:)
Thanks, createIT
sure, i tried to look but didnt find any solution cos the code is not mine, i'll go ahead and post there, thanks so far
I got an answer from the supportpage of yours but that reflects some other templateset you are selling. I dont have the products_slider in use at all. Wish i get proper answer from what file i modify needed codes. Thank you.
Hi jokipoika,
I can see that finally you managed to come to understanding:)
Thanks, createIT
I was testing something out with the css, i've disabled the repeat, but it won't align center when I try to.. I'm talking about the top header/footer
Hey, please get in touch with us on our support forum and please share your code with us – we'll try to help then
Thanks! createIT

Abstract: | This article focuses on establishing a world-class supply chain. At the heart of a world-class supply chain is the ability of all parties to utilize assets, as well as know where they are and how much they are costing. An integrated approach to management can ensure that these measures are at the top of the operational agenda. A supply chain has varying elements that require translation, both forwards and backwards, to the other stages involved in the supply chain. A world-class supply chain should link customer to supplier seamlessly, utilizing system resources and assets at their optimum efficiency with the minimum of risk for supply chain and ultimately the customer. It recognizes that there are multiple commercial parties within the chain, and the integration of their activities is vital to success. A world-class supply chain is therefore better regarded as a functioning system than a chain. Recognition and acceptance of a supply chain as a system delivers benefits to all parties involved in the supply process. The goals for each party involved should be clearly mapped around a gain-share approach in the most radical of senses, where gains are not contractual but are inherent throughout. |

I love this lariat. The inspiration for this piece came from a movie I saw the other day with Diane Keaton, Something's Gotta Give. I loved the lariat necklace she wore, and I thought it would be a great project using the bright, neon color trends. Enjoy!

We all know that paying credit card bills on time is a surefire way to keep credit scores in good standing. Keeping spending in check is only part of the equation. It's not always the things we do that effect us, sometimes the little things we don't do can add up to a surprising negative check in our column. Before engaging in seemingly harmless activities involving credit consider the consequences. Here are eight shocking ways you can accidentally hurt your credit score.
1. Not checking your credit report - Pretending your credit score doesn't exist won't make it go away. Errors do occur and the only way to correct them is to know about them and take action. Once a year I request my free credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com. It's the "only authorized source for the free annual credit report that's yours by law" according to the Federal Trade Commission. Checking your report can also alert you to identity theft.
2. Inconsistent payment history - Missing a payment here or there can hurt you, even if you pay on time "most of the time." Thirty-five percent of your credit score is based on payment history. On one of my accounts I missed a payment after consistently paying on time for more than 18 months, thanks to a power outage during a hurricane and a late paycheck. I called the company and asked for a one-time exception to the late fee. I made the payment and they waived the fee and did not report the bump in my payment history.
3. Maxing out cards - The credit card company trusted you with that big credit limit, so you should use it, right? Wrong. High credit limits are good but actually using them is bad. You should aim to have a substantial gap between how much you owe and your actual credit limit. For example, I have a credit card with an $800 limit. I use it mainly for gas to free up my debit card for cash. I pay it off every month, and it never exceeds $200.
4. Paying some is not better than all - When a creditor offers you a lower pay-off amount than you owe and you agree to pay it, it can hurt your credit score. Although you paid a portion of the debt, it may still appear as a "charge-off" on your report. Instead, work out a manageable payment plan.
5. Closing all your credit card accounts - If you have more than one credit card account and need to close one or more, choose wisely. Keep the credit card you've had the longest or the one with the best interest rate open. Even if you close your oldest account, though, the card's history will remain on your report.
6. Closing your only credit card account - Having a credit card account contributes to your overall credit score. Keeping one in good standing trumps having none at all.
7. Divorce - Your credit score may be the last thing on your mind when you divorce. If you have a spouse as an authorized user or have a joint credit card, your credit score can be affected by the other person's spending and payment habits. Even if a divorce decree states one party is responsible over the other, the credit bureaus may still lower your credit score because of late payments.
8. Speeding - Leave an extra 10 or 15 minutes early rather than join the speeders on the road. Speeding can lead to tickets, including photo radar tickets. If you choose not to pay the ticket, or any other fine or fee issued by a government agency, it will go to collections. Pay it and fight it later. Risking your credit score and future borrowing ability is more important.

"Dancing with the Stars" captured the attention of 21 million viewers ... but none of them were Levi Johnston.
Levi, we're told, was "too busy studying politics" to watch baby mama Bristol Palin do the cha-cha on Monday.
Trying to convince us that this was not a snub, Levi's peeps tell us he's been "learning about the major issues that affect Wasilla and reading lots of books."
"reading a lot of books." First things first. You have to know how to read before you can read books.
Pop up books!!! Ha ha ha that is so funny! Maybe he should have popped open a book before while he was in school so he could actually graduate.
dfdfd #43 -
Wow - you ACTUALLY believe that Bristol works at the Dr's office and goes to school? AND she is on DWTS. Then who is taking case of that illegitimate chld?? And how does she get from work, in Anchorage, to LA for the show and rehearsals everyday??
Do tell!!
Just reinforces my thought that Palin's worshipers are real idiots. Blind followers of the Palin cult. They believe anything she says - how sad.
Awww, he's just jealous that Bristol got a better acting job than his famewhoring ass did. She didn't even try all that hard.
I think she and her son are better without him in their lives. She is a beautiful person and deserves a real man to be with. He is such a jerk! And a real LOSER! Bristol, good luck in the competition. Hope you do well, and have fun doing so!
My gosh, what is wrong with you Bristal haters? She is so pretty and has a great figure and all you trailer trash think it makes you feel better to run her down! ! ! I bet if we could see what you all look like, we would laugh our heads off. Only people with no self esteem put other people down like you are doing. Your green with envy, right? Well work on yourself and you won't have to put others down. You make comments about her as if you know her and you don't ! Just like you idiots that say Sarah is "dumb", do you know how smart she really is, well I do and she is smarter than the people trying to run the country now.....! ! ! That is why everyone is so affraid of her they have to make up lies about her!!!
@juju - You have an unhealthy obsession with Bristol Palin's baby boy. Why don't you ask the same questions about Brandy's illegitmate child? Might I remind you that Obama himself is the product of an unwed teenage mother?
Ah Bristol... I'd watch her boil an egg on the Food Network. She is all that and a bag of diamonds.
Levi...who cares...next..
WHY is Bristol's face so HUGE! DAMN!!! she is not even fat but HER FACE!!!! Like is something wrong with her... I need her to get that checked out!
Let's see..
I didn't even know that Brandy has a child, in or out of wedlock.
I guess that's because she doesn't make her living off of selling pics of her baby in all of the magazines the way Bristol does. That's really trashy to rely on pimping out your baby to make money.
I'd rather see him naked than watch Bristol dance. Unless she's dancing for tips, I couldn't care less about her.
This Levi guy is a jerk. He strikes me as one of those people who has good looks (and knows it), but is as dumb as a rock. I wonder what the future mayor's IQ is? "He be readin' books... dur."

hi i want to install oracle 11g on a very weak computer for learning. what is the most lightweight oracle version ? is it the express edition ?
thanks in advance
I guess it will depend on the sorts of things you are wanting to learn. I've been using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition as a datastore for personal/learning software development projects. From Oracle's website: For what I need, I've found it quick and easy to use. |
Oracle XE is the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. If you don't need any special |
yes oracle express edition is the one you want if you have a weaker computer. it requires 512 MB RAM to work smoothly. however, it is based on Oracle 10g release 2, so it is not quite 11g. but since you are just learning it is good. start with the tutorial here and other books in the oracle site. http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm |
Oracle XE is based on 10g. So if you want to learn Oracle 11g you should install 11g. |
As Yada says, there currently no 11g Express version and it's not due for about another year - discussion can be found here: |

Jim Jones - Wishing on a Sucker MC
Artist: Jim Jones
Featuring: Rev Run
Producer: Cass & Dubs and Rev Run
Album: Ghost of Rich Porter Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 28 total votes )
For everything Jim Jones raps about – ballin, girls, coke, more ballin – the self-proclaimed King of Harlem knows and respects the history of the game he currently plays, and on Jones' new track Wishing on a Sucker MC, he shows that respect by teaming up with Run DMC co-founder and hip-hop legend Rev Run. Produced by Run and Cass & Dubbs, the track's beat is clearly influenced by Run DMC's early days, and in a way Wishing also serves as an homage to the group, with Jones adding some contemporary lyrics to resonate with younger fans as well as paying tribute to a true hip-hop icon: "Hey Run, it's still your house." For his part, it's good to hear that the Rev can still sound fresh, though I wish one of the two emcees added another verse to the last two minutes of the track, which is just filled with some female vocals. Wishing is the first leak off the Ghost of a Rich Porter Mixtape, which currently has no release date.

| Bootable ISO from an installed system with no recovery facility. In short... how to make a copy of an installed system to have it as a bootable installation DVD when there is no recovery hidden partition? ... After motherboard and hard drive problems and consequently being repaired I received my laptop from the repair center with a freshly installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (besides a Linux system also installed, i.e., dual boot). Although having my own DVD from the original installation before the repair, I like the way they installed the OEM version and it seems to run better than my previous installation. Being so I would like to make a copy of it and reserving it for eventual need of re-installation. Is it possible to do it? There is no hidden partition nor other sort of recovery utility/folder - I only realized that after trying to do the copy with the utility RT7Lite. I know I cant use my own installation key on this version but only the one already installed and only on the same computer. Thanks and my best regards. Jarbas |

| Hi Jarbas .... it is not that possible to make a bootable disk from the installed system. But one thing you can do, for future needs of fresh installs, is image backups. See the links .... Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup and Imaging with free Macrium As your system is just fresh installed, if you back it up now, it will be a good asset to you. In future, you can anytime restore the backup, it will be as good as a fresh installation. To restore, follow the link System Image Recovery . |

How quickly should success happen?
One of DanO's big mantra's was following his mystical plan of rebuilding. If I remember he had the Reds slated to be competitive again in 2067.
BC and Kriv have made it clear that they want to win now, and for the first 4 months of the season they have done so. Whether you love them or hate them, you have to give them credit for that. Will it last till the end? That's the $64,000 question. I'm still impressed of where we are considering the damage to the orginzation inflicted by Schott, Bowden, Linder, Allen and OBrian. And it's only been 7 months since that era ended. That's not a free pass for ownership/FO but I think it should be recognized. If the team stays competitive till the end but falls into 2nd place will people be devistated and feal that we've made no improvement over previous years? If we stay competitive, win the WC but get kicked out right away will that be considered a failure and the season a waste? If we win the division but not the LCS is that mean Kriv is a failure as a GM? These are serrious questions. I'm not being a smart alec, I'm genuinley currious if competing down to the wire but falling just short would be viewed as a complete failure and no better than the Reds of the past 5 years? Obviously I want to win the division, and frankly think we have a shot at it (assuming some key elements fall into place). I'm not happy with 2nd place in 2007, but would you be unhappy with 2nd place in 2006?
a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude. I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate |

Re: How quickly should success happen?
Good post - I have thought a lot about this regarding the recent trade.
I am glad to hear the new owner and GM want to win, a wonderful change for fans. But I can delay gratification. I really can. I have, for God's sake, waited 10 years for the reds to get in the playoffs, I can wait one or two more. Especially if winning now means giving up too much (e.g., Kearns and Lopez) to try to win too quickly. I am satisfied (although would be elated if playoffs made) to show improvement and could certainly accept coming close to the playoffs. I will sign on the dotted line today for Krivsky to slowly mold this into a competitive team more seasons than not and get the Reds into the playoffs occasionally. |

Re: How quickly should success happen?
Fortunately, the Reds had some talent to work with. Most teams, I think, usually spend the first season getting rid of bad players, attitudes, etc. You then usually have a good idea of what players you have to work with and a year's worth of draft picks. You might have even been able to get some talent when you got rid of the chaff earlier. You then start signing free agents and your second season you hope for .500. More draft picks, more trades, and time to build the minors up should be occuring now. I think for most teams real success should start occuring the third season.

Re: How quickly should success happen?
The state of baseball today is such that unless you are one of the mega teams with nearly unlimted resources, fate often picks your time to compete for championships. The best most organizations can do is to get themselves into position to be competitive and then when fate seems to be smiling on them, grab the oppurtunity with both hands and run with it.
I think that exactly what Krivsky is trying to do right now, on both counts, building a strong org and grabbing at the oppurtuinity now available. Bailey stays in development in the minors becasue he is the base of the future. Lopez and Kearns go because that was what was necessary to better chase the prize available now. |

Re: How quickly should success happen?
We all want more but I think all we can ask for, given the current state of the game is to have games that matter in September, all of September. Do that year in and year out and you'll get in the postseason from time to time. We haven't been there since 95. And other than 99, how often have we been close, since then?
I want a play-off berth. It would be fun. But I'll start small and be happy with games that matter come September. |

Yes, I'd love to see Nazi Pilousy term limited, but I don't live in San Fran, and obviously the people in San Fran don't want to see her term limited because they keep electing her with pretty solid margins.
Being from Illinois I'd love to be rid of the brain dead Durbin, the problem is if he were term limited, then a whole lot of incumbents that I DO support here would be term limited also.
And polls show That to be a prevailing sentiment among voters, "it's not my guy that's the problem, I like my guy and I'll vote for him/her again, it's your guy that's the problem".
Look at term limits and the State of Michigan. Republican John Engler was term limited out of office in 2002, during his tenor that state boomed.

NASA's new ambitious plan to corral a distant asteroid into lunar orbit is touching off another debate over the space agency's future, as members of Congress greet the proposal with skepticism.
Under President Barack Obama's proposed 2014 budget, NASA spending would return to $17.7 billion, a pre-sequester amount that provides a $105 million down payment on plans for a 2021 astronaut visit to the asteroid.
Efforts to establish a long-term price tag for the asteroid mission that merges the human exploration goal handed to NASA by Obama three years ago with a global vulnerability to impacts from Near Earth Objects, awaits definition by the agency's Exploration, Science and Space Technology directorates later this year.
"There will be naysayers all over," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden acknowledged April 10.
"While [it is creative], a proposed NASA mission to 'lasso' an asteroid and drag it to the Moon's orbit will require serious deliberation," protested Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who chairs the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The panel plans an April 17 hearing on budget requests for NASA and other science agencies.
Also, lawmakers, including Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), chairman of the appropriations panel that funds NASA, are re-introducing legislation that died in the last Congress calling for a human return to the Moon.
Support, suggests Bolden, will likely come from multiple quarters, including those alarmed by the planet's vulnerability to the small undiscovered asteroids such as the one that exploded over Russia in mid-February and a larger cousin that skimmed close to the Earth later the same day. The asteroid mission also has backing from Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)—a proponent of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the heavy-lift Space Launch System (SLS) that would transport the crew. He heads the Senate Commerce, Transportation and Science panel that handles NASA matters.

MONTEREY, Calif. – Spencer Pumpelly took his first Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge victory of the season last weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. After starting from the back of the GS grid, BGB Motorsports worked a clever strategy to advance through the field and relied on Pumpelly to hold off a hard charging BMW for the win. Pumpelly followed the GS win with a runner-up finish in the Rolex Series GX class the same day.
On Saturday, it appeared as though a GS win for Pumpelly and team was unlikely. Co-driver Dr. Jim Norman had made only one lap in qualifying before an ABS failure ended in a flat-spotted tire. So severe was the vibration, the team opted to abort qualifying to avoid damaging the car. In the ultra competitive GS field, starting from the back of the grid is more than an uphill battle: it's a mountain.At the start of the two hour and 30-minute race, Norman successfully advanced the No. 38 Porsche Carrera six positions before handing the car over to Pumpelly. Though the Porsche was quick on its own, Pumpelly encountered some difficulty when attempting to claw his way through the field.
"The car felt great, but I was having trouble passing cars," Pumpelly said. "Several of the corners at Laguna Seca aren't very compatible with our gear ratios, which made me a sitting duck in some parts. After about 15 minutes, I'd only passed one car. The team came on the radio and said we were in our fuel window to pit and go the distance, so that's what we did."
BGB was the only team to gamble on this strategy, pitting on lap 36 with one hour and 15 minutes remaining in the race. To ensure a speedy pit stop and keep Pumpelly on the lead lap, the team opted to change right side tires only.
For the team's plan to work and Pumpelly to make it the distance, there would need to be another full-course caution before the race finished. The team got just what they needed a mere five laps after their pit stop.
As the rest of the GS field took to pit lane, Pumpelly inherited the race lead. A flawless restart enabled him to pull away from the field and put a considerable distance between himself and second-place. This gap was erased when another full-course caution was issued with only 20 minutes remaining in the race.
Pumpelly had been nosed out of the way in the closing laps of last year's race at Laguna Seca, but was determined not to let history repeat itself. He got away from the final restart clean, but couldn't shake the No. 96 BMW driven by Bill Auberlen.
"With four laps to go Auberlen got a run on me coming out of Turn Six, but that put him on the outside of the Corkscrew," Pumpelly said. "I left him room and raced him clean so we went through the corkscrew side-by-side. I had a bigger radius on the outside of Turn Nine and got my nose ahead of him.
I had about a two- or three-car gap by the time we got to the front straightaway. As I'm on the front straight away, I see he's pulling off to the side. That stacked everyone else up and when I got to Turn One I couldn't see anyone in my mirror."
After the BMW pulled off with mechanical problems, Pumpelly cruised to the race win, crossing the line with a 4.466-second margin of victory.
The win put BGB in good spirits for the Rolex Sports Car Series race, which took place shortly thereafter.
Starting from third on the GX grid in the No. 38 Porsche Cayman, co-driver Dr. Jim Norman picked up a spot and handed the car over to Pumpelly in second with just under two hours remaining in the race. Pumpelly was able to get around the leading No. 70 Mazda6 shortly after joining the race, but fell back to second during the next round of pit stops.
"The Mazdas are very efficient and have small gas tanks," Pumpelly explained. "Even though the BGB team was flawless on pit stops, the Mazdas simply take less time to fuel in the pits and beat us out."
Back on track, Pumpelly was unable to make up the ground lost to the No. 70 and finished the two hour and 45 minute race in second.
"The Mazdas were the faster car today, but the second-place finish puts Dr. Jim and BGB in a good spot for the GX Championship," Pumpelly said. "It takes off some of the pressure for the finale at Lime Rock. I'm confident we can get the job done there and take home the big prize."
Before wrapping up the GRAND-AM season at Lime Rock Park, Pumpelly travels to Austin, Texas, and Circuit of the Americas for Round Eight of the American Le Mans Series.
Pumpelly scored a double podium racing at COTA with GRAND-AM in March and is hoping his luck in the Lone Star State will continue with Flying Lizard Motorsports and the No. 45 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
The ALMS race at COTA is set for 4:45 pm ET on Saturday, Sept. 21. The race will air Sunday, Sept. 22, on ESPN2 at 1 pm ET. Live timing and streaming for viewers outside the U.S. is available at ALMS.com.

Farooq rules out rotation
of chief ministership
Jammu, January 5 Dr Abdullah was addressing a press conference here today to mark the completion of the NC-Congress coalition governments two years. Intervening, the Chief Minister made it clear that he would not vacate his post for the Congress and would head the state government for six years. All was well between the two allies and there was no threat whatsoever to the government, the two leaders said. It was decided by the Congress high command and the National Conference that there will be no such arrangement for the full term of the Assembly, said Dr Abdullah. The NC president said there was no change now in the Congress leaderships views. Omar said: After the 2008 Assembly elections and subsequent discussions between AICC president Sonia Gandhi and me in the capacity of the National Conference president, we were clear that neither of the two parties was interested in rotational chief ministership. I was told that I would be the Chief Minister for the full term and the Congress high command is happy with my performance, which leaves no scope for any speculation, he said. The present government, including state Cabinet, is based on this premise and I request you ( the media) not to lend credence to the remarks of any individual from the local unit of the Congress, he added. We had 25 Cabinet meetings so far wherein there was not even a single voice of dissent by any minister.It shows the coalition partners want to deliver the goods, Omar said. It may be stated here that Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Mangat Ram Sharma had recently suggested rotational chief ministership for smooth functioning of the coalition government. Omar also rubbished reports of differences between the two parties over incorporating provisions of the 73rd Amendment of the Constitution of India in the J&K Panchayati Raj Act. A committee had already been constituted and it was studying the provisions, he said. Agreeing with the Hurriyat Conference leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooqs views that the United Nations had become a redundant body, Farooq asked the Mirwaiz to start a dialogue with the Centre to solve the
Kashmir issue. I request the Mirwaiz to start a dialogue with the Centre. We must find a solution (to the Kashmir dispute) and it can be found through talks only, he said. I agree that a solution has to be found as per the aspirations of all stakeholders, including people of the state, India and Pakistan, to resolve the Kashmir issue, he said. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tried his best to take forward the dialogue process, but unfortunately, we have petty politics here in the country and on the other side (Pakistan) also, which delays things, he added. But there has to be a dialogue for peace.When they (separatists) can meet MPs, why cant they talk to the Centre, Abdullah asked. On the Mirwaizs statement that the United Nations was a failed body, Farooq said, Yes it has failed like in Palestine, but at the same time it has helped the world in many ways. I also agree with him (Mirwaiz) that a solution has to be found by the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, and people on the other side of the fence , he said. Why cant I go and have a cup of tea in Sialkot across the border and with people of Sialkot living in Jammu. Paradoxically, in 74 years of my age, I have seen nothing but troubles, Abdullah said. On Hurriyat leader Abdul Ghani Bhats recent remarks that Mirwaiz Mohammed Farooq and Abdul Gani Lone were killed by our own people, and not the security forces, Farooq described it as a better late than never act. |
Prevailing Cold Wave
Jammu, January 5 Qureshi ordered that all government and private schools falling in the summer zone of the Jammu province would function from 10 am to 3 pm with effect from January 6 to 31. Besides, students should be given relaxation in school uniform to enable them to wear warm clothing, said the Director. The schools should make up for the loss of one hour in the school timing in the morning assembly. Meanwhile, a steep fall in the temperature has thrown normal life out of gear. After the winter vacation, the schools reopened on January 3, but most of the parents have appealed to the authorities concerned to extend the vacation. Children have to face problems while going to schools early morning. There are no heating arrangements in classrooms and it gets very cold these days, said Sheetu Bhat, a parent, who is a teacher in a private school. Varun Mishra, another parent, said, To board a minibus to reach the school, children of our area have to walk 2 km on foot in the bone-chilling weather. I appeal to the school education authorities to extend the winter vacation in the schools for some time. Talking to The Tribune, the Director, School Education, said though there was no proposal to extend the winter vacation, a decision in this regard would be taken keeping in view the weather conditions. |
Talks cant resolve Kashmir
issue, says Geelani
Srinagar, January 5 Geelani said the five permanent members, due to their interests, were coming in the way of the implemention of the UN resolutions on Kashmir and the only way out was to end their veto power. He asked the international community to play its role and help resolve the Kashmir issue through the grant of right to self-determination to over 1.3 crore people of the state. Referring to the dialogue process, Geelani said the five-point formula proposed by his party on August 31 last year, was the basis for the Hurriyat Conference to enter into a dialogue to resolve the Kashmir issue. He held that talks in the past could not resolve the Kashmir issue and if the five-point formula was accepted by the Centre, it would create a conducive atmosphere for tripartite talks to find an amicable solution to the problem. Disputes in other parts of the world were being resolved, but the Kashmir issue was not being addressed due to the biased opinion of the powerful countries against the Muslims, he alleged. Geelani alleged that excesses were being committed by the security forces in Kashmir. He blamed the government for indulging in state terrorism and the killing of 112 persons last year. |
CM asks BJP not to hoist National Flag at Lal Chowk
Jammu, January 5 It may be recalled here that during its Ekta Sankalp Rally here on December 24, the BJP had announced to start the yatra from Kolkata on January 12, which would reach Lakhanpur on January 24. On January 26, the partys youth wing would unfurl the Tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar, the BJP had announced. If there are any repercussions in the Kashmir valley, I will hold them personally responsible, Omar told reporters. The BJPs aim is to set Kashmir on fire. If there are any repercussions, they should come and sort out the matter. I should not be held responsible, he said. On Congress minister Sham Lal Sharmas recent controversial speech wherein he advocated statehood for Jammu and UT status for the Ladakh region, Omar said it was not his job to clarify the remarks of the minister. If his party (Congress) was happy with him, I dont have a problem, he said, and added in the given situation, he could only say that Sham Lals remarks were his individual views.
Murder of Liquor Shop Cashier in Baltana
Jammu, January 5 The Punjab police had arrested the three suspects -- Kashu Sharma, a resident of RS Pura, Bikram and Rajinder Kumar- from a flat in a private colony at Baltana yesterday in connection with the killing of Singla. Terming Kashu as a proclaimed offender, SDPO, RS Pura, HS Gill said, Kashu, along with some persons, had attempted to kill a businessman here in 2007 and a case under Section 307 of the RPC and Section 4/25 of the Arms Act was registered against him,. He said Kashu, a resident of Ward No 4 in RS Pura, was involved in a number of criminal activities. He had also opened fire at SHO, Gandhi Nagar police station, Rafiq Manhas, at Bakshi Nagar here, about two years ago. Manhas told The Tribune that he had gone to Bakshi Nagar to arrest Kashu, but the criminal along with some persons opened fire at him. The Jammu police said the Punjab police was yet to inform it about the arrest of Kashu. As per the reports, on January 3, two masked motorcycle-borne youths shot dead Singla. The incident took place near the Bank Square in Kalgidhar Enclave on the Zirakpur-Kalka highway when the liquor shop cashier was on his way to a bank. |
Mattoos Appointment as VC
Jammu, January 5 According to a statement issued here, the protest will be the first phase of the movement being launched by the forum and other organisations to highlight their opposition against the appointment of Prof Mattoo as the first Vice-Chancellor of the Central University of Jammu. The chairman of the forum, Pavitar Singh, a former Sessions Judge, said the next phase of the action plan against the appointment of Mattoo would be announced tomorrow. |
Erratic Power Supply
Jammu, January 5 The residents came out on the road around 10:30 am and blocked the traffic demanding regular power supply in their area. They alleged that officials of the Power Development Department (PDD) were not listening to their genuine demand. We have met the PDD officials a number of times, but no one is ready to act upon our complaints. So, the area residents blocked the road today, said Sham Lal, a resident of Qasim Nagar. He added that if their demand was not accepted in a short period, they would intensify the stir. Meanwhile, a police party reached the spot and pacified the agitators and assured them that their demand would be discussed with the authorities concerned. It said no untoward incident took place and within an hour, the road was opened to traffic. The area residents had earlier also protested a number of times over the erratic power supply. |
Hospitals to be provided with solar plants: Farooq
Jammu, January 5 On the request of the state government, all hospitals will be provided with solar power plants to meet their requirements, Farooq told mediapersons here today. Describing renewable energy sources as indispensable in the backdrop of rapidly depleting conventional sources, he said since March 2010, his ministry had given a central financial assistance of Rs 130.36 crore to the state. He urged the state government to start using renewable energy sources like the solar energy, hydel energy, wind energy, bio-mass and geo-thermal energy to meet the energy requirements. The state government had agreed to have solar power plants in all hospitals, he added. However, two such plants at RS Pura Government Hospital and Government Emergency Hospital, Vijaypur, have already been inaugurated. My ministry has a scheme for private sector people to avail solar water heating system as well, he said, adding that he had plans of electrifying via renewable energy sources the Raghunath Temple in Jammu, Chrar-e-Sharief shrine in Kashmir and a gurdwara at Akhnoor. Similarly, geo-thermal energy is important and we have a vast potential to exploit it in areas like Rajouri, Tattapani and Ladakh region, he said. Farooq said his ministry had tied up with Iceland for the purpose, adding that, We have already given Rs 474 crore to exploit the potential of geo-thermal energy in the Ladakh region. We hope that Jammu and Kashmir will give a push to this form of energy so as to illuminate remote and inaccessible areas, Farooq said. The Prime Minister also wanted renewable energy sources to grow in a big way in the country because they dont produce carbon dioxide and could make the country self-sufficient in the energy sector, he added. Farooqs ministry has so far sanctioned Rs 30.31 crore for setting up solar power plants in 69 hospitals, Rs 3.63 crore for solar lanterns for 73 Gujjar dwellings, Rs 1.50 crore for solar power plant at a cricket stadium in Srinagar, Rs 4 crore under special area demonstration programme, Rs 58.80 crore under remote village electrification programme, 0.16 crore for solar water heating systems for government institutions, Rs 6.05 crore for 550 water mills, Rs 1.02 crore for 1,000 bio-gas plants and Rs 23.18 crore for 56 micro-hydel programme.
Raise wages of PHE workers: Harsh Dev
Jammu, January 5 Assurances to redress the grievances of the PHE workers were given after the issue was raised vociferously in the Assembly during the 2009 Budget session and the government had also agreed to enhance their wages from Rs 500 to Rs 3,300 per month to bring them on a par with the PHE workers of Kashmir division, he said. Harsh Dev, however, regretted that even after more than 18 months, no action had been taken by the government to honour its commitment and fulfil the legitimate demands of the workers. He said the non-initiation of action amounted to not only dishonouring the assurance given by the Assembly but also contravening the Minimum Wages Act. The most intriguing aspect of the issue was that such employees were paid Rs 500 as wages in the Jammu region while their counterparts in Kashmir were paid wages equivalent to the minimum wages as envisaged in the Act, he added. Harsh Dev said the most distressing was the non-payment of even the meagre Rs 500 wages to the workers for months in the Jammu region. It is a sin and a depravity of the highest order to withhold the negligible wages of such employees, the Panthers Party leader said. He demanded the claims of all PHE workers be cleared before the forthcoming Budget session and the government should make an announcement similar to the assurance given in the Assembly and enhance the wages of the PHE workers from Rs 500 to Rs 3,300 per month. He said his party would vigorously pursue the cause of such workers in and outside the Assembly so as to ensure that they were paid the minimum wages as envisaged in the Act. |
Two thieves held, jewellery recovered
Jammu, January 5 It said Deepak Kumar Jain, owner of Chowdhary Shanker Shah Jewellers at Jain Bazaar here, had filed a compliant that his employee, Dhukhi Ram, a resident of West Bengal, along with other artisans committed a theft in his shop. Acting upon the complaint, a team headed by Sub-Inspector Naveen Sharma was formed. The police team succeeded in arresting Dhukhi Ram and Parveen Karar from Howrah in West Bengal and recovered stolen goods worth Rs 5.5 lakh from their possession, said Vishal Sharma, SHO, Pacca Danga police station. He said one of the accused was still at large. |
Separate Development Boards
Jammu, January 5 The report indicates gross discrimination against the Jammu and Ladakh regions with regard to economic development.Expressing concern over the report submitted by the chairman of the State Finance Commission,Mehmood-ur-Rehman, the forum solicited the governments reaction to it. In a statement issued here, president of the forum RK Chadha said the state and Central governments should implement the recommendations of the two members of the Finance Commission regarding separate development boards and the allocation of separate funds for the three regions of the state. Chadha alleged that since its establishment over a year ago, the commission had not held any meeting with any section. The chairman and members of the commission were drawing salaries without any practical task assigned to them. In case the recommendations of the members from Jammu and Ladakh were not accepted by the government, it would be in the interest of the state that the commission be wound up. The forum also described the setting up of a task force for the development of Jammu and Ladakh as a futile exercise and mere eyewash. The government amply knew the development requirements of the Jammu and Ladakh regions and instead of setting up commissions or a task force, practical steps for an equitable development of the regions were needed. Further, criticising the Central and state governments for discrimination against the Jammu region on the tourism front, Chadha demanded that three separate tourism development boards for Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh should be set up. Separate funds should also be allocated by the Centre for the development of tourism infrastructure in the state. |

Parikshat Singh Manhas, associate prof, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management and Business School, Jammu University, who is also a representative of the World Centre of Excellence for Destinations in India, highlighted the possibilities that the state could explore to benefit from the partnership with the World Centre of Excellence for Destinations. The minister ordered the creation of a committee consisting of Atal Dulloo, Commissioner/Secretary, Tourism; Parikshat Singh Manhas, associate prof; and Altaf Ahmed, Special Secretary, Tourism, for preparing a content paper before the arrival of the representatives of the World Centre of Excellence for Destinations. A team led by Dr François Bédard, Director-General of the World
Centre of Excellence for Destinations, is expected to arrive in Jammu in
February in connection with the Sustainable Destination Excellence: Innovations in Alternative Tourism (SDEIAT-2011) conference, which is being hosted by the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Jammu
University. |
Youth shot dead during Army ambush
Srinagar, January 5 Troops of the 18 Rashtriya Rifles had laid an ambush in the forest area of Warnav in Lolab, 120 km from here, last night. They noticed some suspicious movement and opened fire, resulting in the death of the youth, Muneer Ahmad Khan, DIG, north Kashmir said. He said the Army reported the matter to the police and efforts were being made to identify the deceased youth. We called residents from nearby villages but no one has identified the deceased so far,
Khan added. The officer said investigations were going on to ascertain the reasons for the presence of the youth in the area at the time of the incident which took place at 9.30 pm.

Protect Chenab banks from
soil erosion
Jammu, January 5 The minister was on an extensive tour of the flood-prone areas of Akhnoor to review the pace of the ongoing works. Chief Engineer, Irrigation and Flood Control, BR Dogra said the department had already identified the vulnerable spots from Akhnoor to Hamirpur Kona and the work for plugging these was in full swing.

SHO, Trikuta Nagar police station, Inspector Yash Pal Jamwal, was transferred and posted as the new SHO, Jhajjar Kotli police station. Inspector Mahesh Kumar was posted as the new SHO,Trikuta Nagar police station.
45 pc rise in drugs peddling cases in 2010: Khoda
Jammu, January 5 There has been a 45 per cent rise in the number of such cases in 2010 as compared to 2009. The situation has perhaps obtained due to the rise in the number of such cases in Punjab. Even the police has accepted the fact that drug peddling mostly takes place through Lakhanpur, which borders Pathankot in Punjab. DGP Kuldeep Khoda recently admitted that the situation had become alarming as the number of cases registered under the Narcotics Drugs Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act had increased by 45 per cent in 2010. Replying to a query, Khoda said, We have launched a campaign to curb the menace of drugs and a number of cases have been registered in this regard. However, he failed to give a satisfactory reply about the pendency or investigations in such cases. He also termed the unrest in the Valley as the major reason behind the rise in the crime graph in the state. Most of the police force was busy handling the situation in Kashmir. This resulted in an increase in crime in other parts of the state. But this year the force will be handling all situations simultaneously, said Khoda. The perusal of an official document also suggests that drug peddlers are arrested and intoxicant capsules and injections seized mostly from Kathua, Samba and Jammu districts. Sources said the officials of the Sales Tax, Excise and Customs Department and the police deployed at the Lakhanpur toll post either neglected their duty or were allegedly taking bribes from drug peddlers, thus boosting the menace of drugs in the state. They said most of the officials deployed at such locations were not transferred for a long period, as there was a nexus between some corrupt officials and drug peddlers. When the matter was brought to the notice of the DGP, he said he would look into the matter. |
Valley, Ladakh shiver under sub-zero temperature
Srinagar, January 5 The Meteorology Department has forecast mainly dry weather across the state over the next 24 hours. The sub-zero temperature during the past few weeks has led to the freezing of water bodies, including lakes and the Jhelum and its tributaries, which have a lower water level during winter. The minimum temperature recorded was - 5.4°C here last night while the maximum temperature was 7.5°C during the today. The tourist resort of Pahalgam recorded a minimum of -11.6°C and a maximum temperature of 4.9°C today. Qazigund close to the Jawahar Tunnel, recorded a minimum of -10.6°C and a maximum of 8.5°C. Ladakh, which remains cut off from the rest of the country during the winter due to a heavy snow accumulation along the Zojila Pass, is also witnessing the coldest days of the season. Leh town recorded - 23°C and -3°C as the minimum and maximum temperatures, respectively, today. |

As a paramedic with 18 yrs of service, this game intrigued me. The concept was cool and it was accurate in terms of the treatment given. However poor controls and slow gameplay put a damper on it. I also would have liked the option of designating trauma patients and other advanced stuff that was in ...more

As a Detroit Pistons fan, I feel there should be a team entry and we are it. Not only did Stern fine our players at a conspicuously high rate, but he had a funny way of tweaking league rules whenever the Pistons established a dominant defense.
All-Sanctioned Team: Players, coaches and a mascot that drew David Stern's ire
"The Point Forward All-Stars" will have a new theme each week centered on a single shared trait that brings together the team members. This week, with NBA commissioner David Stern set to step down on after 30 years on the job this Saturday, we look back at some of the most memorable fines and suspensions from his tenure.
Previously: The All-Grateful Team | The East's All-Letdown Team | The All-Atrocious Team | The All-Ignored Team | The All-Stocking Stuffer Team | The All-Recalibration Team | The All-Payday Team | The All-Gridiron Team
The All-Sanctioned Team
David Stern will be remembered for his many business virtues — he was a shrewd-negotiating, global-thinking marketing visionary — but, like any commissioner, he was also his league's Disciplinarian-in-chief. Blessed with the perfect surname for that aspect of his job, Stern wasn't afraid to be the bad guy, and indeed he often seemed to relish the role, and the all-powerful image his sanctions helped cultivate.
Over the years, Stern fined and suspended players for all sorts of things: questioning the officials, failing drug tests, getting into fights on the court, posting Twitter messages during games, and, during the last two seasons, flopping. Owners, coaches, and entire organizations couldn't escape his iron first, either.
As Stern prepares to pass the torch, and the gavel, to deputy commissioner Adam Silver on Saturday, here's a rundown of the longtime commissioner's greatest hits to opposing pocketbooks, with a primary focus on hijinks from the last decade.
(Many thanks to the NBA fines and suspensions database at Eskimo.com for its assistance.)
Owner: Mark Cuban, Mavericks
"David Stern's bad side" has always had a "wrong side of the tracks" meets "Bermuda Triangle" vibe to it: most everyone tries as hard as humanly possible to stay away from it, lest they disappear forever. Not billionaire Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, though, who took over in Dallas in 2000 and promptly set up a homestead ranch in Stern's dog house. Cuban has been fined at least $1.9 million for at least 20 infractions since taking over the Mavericks, and no one has come close to taking as much joy in representing the anti-establishment to Stern's establishment over the last decade. Earlier this month, Cuban, who has long crusaded against the league's officials and officiating practices and policies, intentionally drew a $100,000 finefor walking onto the court to dispute a controversial endgame sequence that went against Dallas. It was his way of saying goodbye to Stern.
"I couldn't let the [commissioner] go without a proper farewell," Cuban wrote on Twitter, once the press release bearing Stern's name rolled in. "It's been a fun 14 years of trying to create change and donating to the [doughnut] fund!"
Cuban's list of infractions is both extraordinarily long and extraordinarily funny, and it includes:
• $100,000 for sitting on the baseline during a 2001 game. ("They said it wasn't fitting for an owner to sit there," Cuban replied. "Ridiculous.")
• $250,000 in 2001 for having his arena's JumboTron display a freeze frame image of a late-game goaltending by Detroit that wasn't called and encouraging media members to take pictures of it. ("The refs were pitiful and I don't care if I get fined," Cuban said, before adding that referee Tommy Nunez tried to "take over the game" and that the missed call was "ridiculous.")
• $100,000 for flashing the choking sign at officials in 2001.
• $500,000 for a vicious criticism of then-head of officials Ed Rush in 2002. ("Ed Rush might have been a great ref, but I wouldn't hire him to manage a Dairy Queen," Cuban said.)
• $10,000 for encouraging a player to retaliate against Bruce Bowen after the Spurs forward elbowed Michael Finley. ("I told one of our guys when you get up close, slap the ball right into his face and I'll pay the fine, Cuban declared.)
• $100,000 for blogging about how to improve the officiating during the playoffs.
• $25,000 for yelling at J.R. Smith for throwing an elbow in 2009. (Cuban later wrote to Smith on his blog: "In the spirit of the joy of my getting fined and your not getting the tech, have the Nuggets PR folks contact the Mavs PR folks and I will donate [$25,000] to the charity of your choice.")

The most indelible image from the Stern vs. Cuban feud came after Game 5 of the 2006 Finals against the Heat, when Cuban went on to the court to protest the officials. The Miami Herald reported that Cuban yelled "Your league is rigged!" at Stern, but both parties vehemently denied that (Cuban's reaction: "Apparently this 'reporter' [writer Greg Cote] has written he has several 'sources.' Well they must be the same sources the tabloids use to find two-headed [babies] and aliens, because it didn't happen"). Regardless, Cuban was fined $250,000 for yelling at an official, screaming in the direction of Stern and using a profanity during his post-game interview. Stern also scolded Cuban's "loss of self control" and for "[setting] a bad tone" while asserting that his behavior was "not healthy for either him or the game" and was a distraction to his players.
In the years following the Mavericks' 2006 Finals loss, Cuban's fines have generally been smaller and less frequent, but his unhappiness with the state of the league's officiating remains, even after he won his first title in 2011. If the Stern/Cuban relationship hasn't quite produced a true reform story, it has been a lesson that everything in the NBA, even the loss of money, has marketing and public relations potential.
"I think it's great," Cuban, who regularly matched his fines with charitable donations, said of Stern's sanctions in 2001. "There is no way we could spend $250,000 to get this type of promotion for the Mavs. The articles will be mostly the same: 'Mark Cuban was fined again, crazy guy, but the Mavs are playing well and are in the playoff hunt.' And tons of people will buy Mavs merchandise and more will come to the games — just like the last time I was fined."
