you better restore before you send it in also you might want to check out hardware or google because you might be able to replace the screen yourself
Playstaion 3 gamer tag HackNinjaLaw
Off the scene till i get a new lcd or a new iphone
you confused me with your title??
maybe u change it to, "dad dropped my iphone"
but sorry to hear that the screen is sligthly broken...
Try to click the link above!
lol sorry, slightly broken :O
Its got 4-6 cm cracks going through the screen.
Sorry to say that but Apple warranty does not cover broken screens. So, your phone is not covered. Only way is to have somebody replace the screen for you. I have a friend who does that. I can help you if you're in Los Angeles area.
If not, you can buy a new screen off Ebay and replace it yourself. That will take lots of reading to learn how to open the phone, etc.
i think that if he dropped it he should get you a new one... if one of your friends dropped it you would think they would get u a new one. Ask him if he will get u a new, shiny OTB fresh, new iphone smelling one
Well if its unlocked REFURBISH in Ziphone(LOL),and then restore to 1.1.4 and Apple will replace it......

Miss Me Cross Easy Boot Stretch Jean 9 9
Cute Jean! These jeans are really cute! I have had tons of compliments on them. I love the pockets soooo much. If you want them tighter, go for the smaller size. November 9, 2012
LOVE IT I love love love love love miss me. I can't stress it enough. These jeans are so comfortable, so flattering, and SO cute. I always get compliments when I wear them! Awesome quality as well. October 3, 2012
Perfect Amount of Bling! These are darling jeans with the perfect amount of bling. They are actually my second pair in this style after losing weight and needing a smaller size. The shading of the denim is just right and the rise is perfect. Can even wear while riding a bike and not worry they are too low. As with most Miss Me jeans, get at least one size smaller than normal as they do stretch as the day goes on. October 2, 2012
Love the easy boot jean Love, love, love these jeans. The new easy boot jean is made for someone with some curves in mind. They are cut a little higher, so your booty is covered when you bend over. Little more room for your hips. Love the bling on these jeans!!! They do run bigger then they other miss me jeans, so order a couple of sizes smaller then normal! August 18, 2012
Love the cross on these jeans! I've always admired the decor on Miss Me jeans and have looked around a lot for cross decor specifically. This really fit the bill and fits well! April 12, 2012
Easy Fit Mid Rise Who knew at 47 my bootie could look so good!Love these jeans!For all you ladies who are wondering what to get if you are curvey, these are it! Go for the Easy Fit, Mid-rise.!Well worth the money! :) April 6, 2012
LOVE LOVE LOVE these jeans!! I purchased these jeans before Christmas and they quickly became my favorite pair !! These are very comfortable and the midrise rocks!! Not to mention the decorated pockets are so sparkly and pretty. I get tons of compliments on these and everyone asks me where I bought them. BUCKLE is the best store for jeans hands down!! Their salespeople are so helpful and so nice!! The Irvine Spectrum store is one of my favorite places to shop....thanks to the staff there, I have a nice collection of my favorite Miss Me Jeans. Thanks Buckle for making this mommy of 3 look & feel so good!!! February 17, 2012
Love 'em! My first pair of Miss Me's and I love them. They are slightly relaxed fit. I get compliments all the time. I love that the rise is not too low. Much more flattering. They are stretchy and comfortable. January 18, 2012

The SAMURAI facility, which is equipped with the 3T superconducting magnet with the 80 cm gap, charged particle detectors, and the large-acceptance neutron detector array (NEBULA), offers rich opportunities for exploring the exotic structures of unstable nuclei. For instance, the invariant spectroscopy of nuclei near or beyond the neutron dripline is one of the main subjects. Some of the technical details of the facility, and commissioning experiments using the proton and some neutron rich nuclei from 18O are shown and discussed.

To Ashton: Pain prior to a meal is concerning for peptic ulcer disease. He should return to his physician for an evaluation at which time the need for an endoscopy can be addressed.
To ashton_deardlocks:
I'm not a doctor, but I had the same problem.
I added 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a reused 16-oz glass bottle filled with water, some honey and some lemon.
I took a couple sips whenever I was feeling the burn, and it would go away in like 30 seconds, and stay away.
The only important ingredient above is apple cider vinegar, so mix with it with whatever. Another mixer of mine is juice. Also, if you don't want to go to the trouble of mixing...
You might want to look into a sleeping disorder known as Upper Airwar Restriction Syndrome. You can google the research done by a Pulmonologist from Stoney Brook.
Be well,
Reid Winick, D.D.S.
Hi Dr.
My name is Ashton and my to-be husband is Ryan. He has constant daily indigestion and heartburn, GERD is being treated currently with i believe Prilotec OCT (sorry for spelling) and I want better ways to help him, he gets pain when hungry and after eating, we stray from pills. If you have any advice we'd very much appreciate it.
Thank you, Ashton

The Red Sox will take on the Orioles in the first game of a three-game set Monday night as they try and return to .500. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. EST, with broadcasts on NESN and WEEI.
Che-Hsuan Lin will get his first career start in the MLB in right field. It's an odd place to put Lin, given his incredible defense and the...often adventurous nature with Marlon Byrd in center. The Sox will have to hope Byrd's familiarity in center and Lin's big arm will make up the difference in utilizing their range.

2012 A Kahn Design Range Rover Evoque
---- Specifications ----
1/4 mile
0-62 mph
Top Speed
(from A Kahn Design Press Release) A. Kahn Design�s Range Rover Evoque
London/December 2011 - Afzal Kahn�s latest project is this new mini-sport utility vehicle: the smallest ever Range Rover. We all know it�s called an Evoque, but allow A. Kahn Design to put into words just why this particular vehicle sets the benchmark.
With over 90 percent of buyers set to be �newcomers� to the product, and younger, more urban and a great deal more female than traditional customers - Afzal Kahn�s dalliance with the Evoque offers a whole new breadth of excitement, taking the vehicle to a whole new dimension.
The A. Kahn Design Evoque is wholly unmistakable, with every external modification serving to coax greater performance from the car.
The principal British designer�s philosophy was always to combine mechanical perfection and exterior beauty, and as you can see, the Evoque�s smooth contour is immediately recognisable with an outstanding styling package consisting of a lowered suspension (35mm), yellow calipers, aluminum pedals, orange roof, (additional colours available), full body colour coding/detailing, privacy glass, touch screen sat nav and adaptive front headlamps all draw you in like a guiding light.
Inside is the bespoke touch: we provide our customers with the opportunity to express one�s individuality. And they can have whatever they want. Afzal Kahn could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your jeans and an interior with seats the same shade of lets say, a grey T-shirt. Customers could change the colour of the clock, or ask for anything else, the world is their oyster, so to speak.
Evolved through artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology: our unique RS600 wheels, (available in 20� 21� 22� although additional wheels are also available), exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: creating something that is unique but refined enough to both complement and enhance each and every vehicle.

Wed, Apr 07, 2004
At age 19, Nick Donner has already been the US National Hot Air Balloon Champion twice -- in 2001 and in 2003 -- and is captain of the American team that will compete at the World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Australia this June.
The young balloonist is also a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world's premier university specializing in aviation and aerospace. "I've always wanted to be a pilot," Donner says, "so what better place to get my degree than Embry-Riddle?"
Donner is a freshman in the Aeronautical Science (professional pilot) degree program at Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus. He'll graduate in 2007 and plans to become either a US Navy pilot or an airline pilot with UPS.
"I've been around ballooning all my life and that definitely increased my desire to learn how to fly," Donner says. Ballooning is indeed a family affair for the Donners of Fisherville (KY). Donner's father, Ray, and his younger brother, Chase, are balloon pilots, and his sister, Amelia, also has her eye on the sky.
"Fourteen is the age when you can get a hot air balloon license in America," Donner says, "and Amelia is only 13, so she'll have to wait until her birthday this October."
Donner, who holds instrument single-engine land and commercial hot air balloon ratings, flew his first balloon solo on his 14th birthday, almost three years before he was legally allowed to drive a car. He was Kentucky's youngest balloon pilot.
In 2001, at age 17, Donner became the youngest pilot ever to win the US National Hot Air Balloon Championship. At the same event he was named US Rookie of the Year. In 2002 he took first place at the Motegi Hot Air Balloon International Championship in Japan and seventh place at the World Hot Air Balloon Championship in France. In 2003 he was again the US National Champion.
At age 20, Donner will be the captain of the American team at the World Hot Air Balloon Championship to be held in Mildura, Australia, this year. "The six other men on the American team are all at least 10 years older than me and are the nation's best balloonists," Donner says. "I'm really honored to be on their team."
This year he'll also be competing in the US National Hot Air Balloon Championships in Anderson (SC) in July and in Baton Rouge (LA) in August.
In competitions sanctioned by the Balloon Federation of America and the North American Balloon Association, pilots are graded on their navigation ability and whether they meet their planned cruise altitude and drop weighted bags accurately on marked sites.
Lindstrand Balloons USA is the manufacturer of Donner's balloon, named the "Blue Grass Racer." The company provides him with technical and fabrication support.

Gosh, I may be new here but I see so many people asking or saying "HELP HOW DO I PASS" or "Any tips for passing a drug test?". Let's be up front and honest. The plain and simple truth is just to not smoke...but let's be real and avoid that Yahoo answer bullshit. I've passed successfully several drug tests. I actually find it kind of fun to detox my body. Without further ado..my personal detox method. 1.) Exercise and sweat THC clings to fat cells...unfortunately meaning the fatter you are the more difficult it will be. If you can exercise vigorously you will aid the THC out of your body much quicker. Burning fat cells...burns THC out through both sweat and urine. Fat is secreted through both. I find even sleeping in sweat pants will cause some perspiration thus getting even more out while you sleep. NOTE: Avoid exercise immediately before test. (1 entire day) As it will continue to secrete THC into urine and it will be more prevalent. 2.) Eat healthier As I previously stated about the fat cells...THC clings to them. If you eliminate as much fat going in it will have less to cling to over time. Therefore allowing it to pass quicker. Avoid the McDonalds and try eating some vegetables, fruits, or low-fat foods. This is just overall better for you anyways. 3.) Niacin (You knew it was coming) Niacin can aid you but heed the warning of it can permanently damage your liver and other organs if you take to much. Especially over prolonged periods. The way Niacin works has two components. First, it actually inhibits the breakdown of fat cells. Allowing it to pass through quicker. Secondly, it makes capillaries get larger. Aiding in more water into the blood stream and flushing it out. You will need flushing Niacin. This can be found cheaply at any local drug store. 4.) Purge This is a unorthodox method that makes sense and is easily done. I have no idea if it works but it's free and good for you nonetheless. Shower. Specifically I want you to start by taking as hot of shower as you can muster. Get your body completely red. (This is blood coming to the surface of your skin) It is also getting as much blood from your organs as possible. Once you've become beat red turn it as cold as freakin' possible! I'm talking COLD! The type of cold that takes your breath away. This will immediately push all of your blood from the surface of your epidermis back into your organs. It will purge of your organs of toxins and flush them. The first time I did this I felt so good I was giggle happy for an hour or so. 5.) Tea, eh' chaps? At any grocery store go to the tea section. Look around for Detox tea. It should be around $5. This tea supports liver and kidney health. It also gets toxins out of your body. They taste great. They're great for you. Drink 2 or so of those a day for detoxifying results. 6.) Got a $20? If you have $20 dollars go to your local Health Hut and pick up a ReadyClean. You drink one of these an hour or two before your test. Wait 15 minutes...fill up the same bottle again with water or something acidic. (i.e. Cranberry juice, Grapefruit jucie) Urinate 2-4 times before the test. You should be fine off just this. Final notes: Like I said...the best way is just not to. These are my personal ways of detoxing. Good luck and smoke on!
Wouldnt ReadyClean be basically the same as drinking alot of water and doing the B-12 and creatine method?
No, ReadyClean is a masking drink. It is designed to mask THC immediately before a drug test. You have an opening of 5-6 hours with it.
I decided to come back to this thread and post one more solid way to get clean. 7.) Sauna If you have or can access a sauna you can take out a considerable amount of THC quickly because of obvious factors. The intense amount of humidity causes large amounts of perspiration (sweating). You will immediately begin to pour out sweat from nearly every pore. Though it doesn't work in the same way as exercise it will produce similar processes of exercising. This may or may not be more effective. Also, it is without question a great alternative for out of shape individuals. We wouldn't want you to have a heart attack. WARNING: If you are a diabetic (like me) watch your blood sugars. The heat will diminish sugars in your blood at a very catalyzed rate. Whether you are or not a diabetic a sauna will dehydrate you quickly. So be sure to drink a copious amount of water. If diabetic, I'd suggest a Gatorade or something with non-hollow carbohydrates and sugar. The Gatorade will of course elevate your blood sugar but while sustaining positive nutrients to more safely proceed with this course of detoxification. Good luck, and well for this thread, don't smoke on.
Shit...one more that came to mind. 8.) Anti-oxidants. These dudes are unequivocally amazing for you. They fight cancer (free radicals) that are responsible for arthritis and other joint diseases, lung problems like emphysema and bronchitis, and atherosclerosis, the leading cause of heart disease. They all take nasty stuff from your body. Recent scientific discoveries have uncovered super foods. Such as Goji and Acai berries, unfortunately, this can be very expensive items. Fortunately, there are substitutes that are much cheaper and still effective. #1: Black rice #2: Sweet potatoes #3: Apples #4: Certain beans #5: Dried cranberries #6: Coffee #7: Green tea This is an amazing thing for you regardless of drug test or not.

Group of 24
Group of 24
Type | Trade bloc | |
Member states | ||
Leaders | ||
- | Chairman | Luis Videgaray Caso |
Establishment | 1971 |
The Group of 24 (G24), a chapter of the G-77, was established in 1971 to coordinate the positions of developing countries on international monetary and development finance issues and to ensure that their interests were adequately represented in negotiations on international monetary matters.
The group, which is officially called the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs and Development, is not an organ of the International Monetary Fund, but the IMF provides secretariat services for the Group. Its meetings usually take place twice a year, prior to the International Monetary and Financial Committee and Development Committee meetings, to enable developing country members to discuss agenda items beforehand. Although membership in the G-24 is strictly limited to 24 countries, any member of the G-77 can join discussions. China has been a "special invitee" since the Gabon meetings of 1981.
The Chairman of G-24 is Mr.H.E. Luis Videgaray Caso, Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (Mexico).
Member countries by Region[edit]
Following is the list of members of G-24:-
Region I (Africa): Algeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Region II (Latin America and the Caribbean): Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
Region III (Asia): India, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Syria.
How does the G-24 operate?[edit]
The G-24 operates at two levels:
- the political level, consisting of Ministers, their Deputies, the Bureau, and other Washington-based representatives who participate in the Committee of the Whole and in any ad hoc meetings; and
- the operational level, which is run by the G24 Liaison Office, and includes the G24 Secretariat and the Research Coordinator.
The governing body of the G-24 meets twice a year, preceding the Spring and Fall meetings of the International Monetary and Financial Committee and the Joint Development Committee of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The plenary G-24 meetings are addressed by the heads of the IMF and the World Bank Group as well as by senior officials of the UN system. Issues are first discussed by the Deputies and culminate at the Ministerial level by the approval of a document that sets out the consensus views of member countries. The Ministerial document is released as a public Communiqué at a press conference held at the end of the meetings. Decision-making within the G-24 is by consensus.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Kim Playfair
"Pork chops with a creamy horseradish topping. Delicious and easy but not low fat. We always serve with wild rice and green beans on the side."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 boneless pork chops
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
These were great *IF* you like horseradish...a definite prerequisite! I also added various spices to the chops before I piled the crumb topping on--salt, pepper, cayenne, oregano, garlic powder and basil. Just eyeballed the spices and added per my own taste. I also baked them atop slices of onions which baked up crisp tender with a wonderful flavor from the juices/spices. Finally, I started to put the chops under the broiler for a few minutes after they were done to crisp up the crumb mixture since it seemed a little 'wet' and I was SO glad I tasted it first! Where this dish is lacking in presentation, it definitely makes up for in flavor. This is an easy, quick and delicious weeknight meal with the perfect amount of horseradish and tender, succulent meat to boot.
i truly hate to review a recipe this low...but it is what is. this was a waste of great pork chops. i followed the recipe. i love horseradissh. really no taste at all. i will not waste chops here again...sorry about the low rating, just 4 ingredients..it sounded great...but.
70 Ratings
This came out with a distinct flavor and tasted wonderful. The only problem I saw was that I pulled the pork chops out 5 minutes early and they were dry and overdone, but that is easily fixed. Overall, a solid recipe with some tweaking of the cooking time/heat.
It is delicious, I used ground horseradish and not creamy style, it has much more bite!!
I was skeptical about this but wanted to make something easy so i tried this. Only change was using bone in chops. This was delicious. Thanks submitter. Served with Betty Crocker au gratin potatoes, apple sauce and corn. The potatoes can cook in the oven along with the chops.
OMG ... to die for!!! How can anything this easy be this delicious. But believe it, it is :)
This is so easy and so good! We usually add extra horseradish but that is just because we like spicy. I normally only need to cook a total of 30 minutes in the oven but that of course just depends on the size of your pork chops (thickness).
Overall five stars for ease of recipe and tastiness! It was almost too easy to prepare and stick in the oven. The horseradish adds the perfect zing. Definitely a new go to for a quick dinner!

Tony Parker Out For A Week
Tony Parker will be out for one week after spraining his ankle during the Spurs loss to the Portland Trailblazers. Parker was driving to the lane on Steve Blake when the injury occurred. Good news is X-rays were taken in Portland and were negative.
Parker has had ankle injuries in the past and the most recent was the ankle injury he suffered this summer playing for the French National Team.
Expect George Hill to get more minutes while Parker is out. We saw last year what he did when Parker was injured. He had an impressive stretch of games as a rookie while Parker was out including getting the best of Bulls guard Derrick Rose in Chicago last year.
Here is the video of Parker's injury.
Please leave us your comments on this injury and what you think on Hill having to now run the team.
Spurscast Live Pregame/Postgame Tonight
We'll be going live right here on ProjectSpurs.com starting at 7:30 p.m. CST tonight to preview the Spurs vs. Blazers game.
Aside from previewing the game, we'll be interviewing Sheed from Bust a Bucket to break things down from a Blazers point of view. We'll be taking your calls throughout the night at 210-757-0847 and have a giveaway.
The live stream will be audio only and we'll also have a live chat set up to interact with us and chat with other Spurs fans.
We'll stop right before the game starts and when it ends, we'll be back live for postgame recap and react, and we'll have plenty of time for your calls to talk about the game, win or loss. Jared Wade of Both Teams Played Hard will stop by.
Again, we will start at 7:30 CST and go until about 9:25 and come back on right after the game. Look forward to talking to you all tonight.
Is Michael Finley a Starter?
The season is still very young but the Spurs have already frustrated some fans by continuing to start Michael Finley and Matt Bonner. We've already discussed the pros and cons of starting Bonner, so it's only appropriate that we take a look at Finley.
This is Finley's fifth season with the Spurs, and all totalled he has started in 175 of his 325 regular season games with the Spurs. Most of those starts, 141 to be exact, have come since the 2007-2008 season. While Finley used to be an All-Star, top ten scorer, and dunk contest participant, he is now solely a jump shooter with a suspect defensive game. For these reasons, fans want Pop to sit the 36-year-old in favor of Roger Mason or Manu Ginobili. Like Jordan did with Bonner, I'll point out a few pros and cons about Michael Finley starting to help you come to your own conclusion.
- Finley had his best shooting season last year with a Total Shooting Percentage of 54.7%, the second highest of his career, and an Effective Field Goal Percentage of 53.2%, easily the highest of his career. He can no longer finish among traffic well but he does his main job, spot up shooting, better than ever. The Spurs benefit greatly from Finley stretching the floor for Tony Parker and Tim Duncan.
- At his age and without as much athleticism as he used to have, Finley is not an energy player. Ideally the Spurs would like to bring a high-energy player of the bench to provide a spark to the team, someone who can provide much in limited minutes. Finley is not that player. In this regard he is better suited starting so that he can get in the flow of the game.
- By starting Finley the Spurs allow themselves to use George Hill, Mason and Ginobili on a second unit that is one of the best in the league. Finley is best at playing off the ball and spotting up on the perimeter, something that fits better with a first unit that relies on Parker's drives and Duncan's post play.
- Finley was never known as a defensive presence, but his defense has only gotten worse. He is neither fast nor strong, and the premier shooting guards in the league can take advantage of him. Sure, he knows the Spurs system well but this only gets him so far when the Spurs are matched up against the top backcourts in the league.
- Even though Finley had his best shooting year last season he is still very prone to cold shooting games. He tends to be a streaky shooter and when his shot is not falling it only takes valuable possessions away from Parker, Duncan and Ginobili.
- As Finley has aged his offensive game has become more one-dimensional. He cannot create for others and is not consistent when driving to the basket, leaving the Spurs offense stagnent at times. If he is not hitting his threes then he is not worth much for the offense.
So here you have three pros and three cons to Finley starting. What should the Spurs do? Personally, I like having a backcourt of Ginobili and Hill coming off the bench to dominate and harrass other teams second units. However, I think Mason does everything Finley can and more. It's nice bringing a talent like Mason off the bench but Ginobili and Hill provide enough firepower that the Spurs can afford to put Mason in the starting lineup instead of Finley.
However, Pop has a love affair with Finley and it is impossible to predict what he will do with Finley. Do you think Finley should continue starting?
Jazz Blowout Win Brings Spurs Back Down To Earth
It's always a little scary facing a team like the Utah Jazz after a four-day break. The Spurs probably lost when they boarded the plane for Salt Lake City, which was about all the boarding they did that day.
The rustiness that comes after an early, extended break showed up immediately as the Jazz went up early after several runs in the first quarter and never looked back in a 113-99 win.
Sloppy play, turnovers and terrible defense could normally sum up the night. Unfortunately for the Spurs, it was much worse. Here are a few of my notes throughout each quarter.
1st Quarter
Jefferson started the game on the right foot, hitting a three for the first points of the night for either team. Bonner continued the outside assault tying the game at 8-8, but sloppy play and points off turnovers led to a 26-15 Jazz run.
Of all the players that made the Spurs look old in the first quarter, it wasn't Deron Williams or Carlos Boozer, but insted Wesley Matthews. I'm asking "who?" as well.
The Jazz ended the quarter up 32-22.
2nd Quarter
The Spurs' interior defense looks like swiss cheese, as one live blog participant quipped. The Jazz guards were too quick and got to the basket easily for 28 points in the paint.
Parker started coming alive and hurt the Jazz with his own drives to the rim, racking up 17 first half points. Unfortunately, they didn't continue running plays for Parker or setting up screens for him to get into the paint.
A Manu layup could have shaved the deficit down to seven points, but instead he gets picked clean going to the basket for a second time.
The second quarter really was just about the same as the first, with the Spurs turning the ball over six times, leading to 10 Jazz points. Spurs go into the half down 50-60.
3rd Quarter
Spurs start to show some signs of life, with a Richard Jefferson layup to get the deficit down to eight points. Jefferson looked aggressive, but poor rebounding on both ends attributed to the Jazz getting several second chance points to go with seven steals.
Saying Boozer was "on" would be an understatement. He was killing anyone Pop threw at him and Deron Williams really was no surprise as he orchestrated the Jazz offense beautifully.
The Jazz really didn't budge all quarter, playing great defense and getting through any mini-runs by the Spurs to go up 93-80 to end the third.
4th Quarter
There are hints of a comeback, but the Jazz once again step up their defense and the Spurs just can't seem to climb out of the hole they've dug themselves into. More of the same as turnovers continue to plague the Spurs and they start missing easy layups.
DeJuan Blair entered the game late in the half and looked good on the boards and even on offense with Boozer guarding him, but it was too little too late.
I have to give credit to the Jazz as they were executing to perfection all night and sent the Spurs back to earth as they are now at .500 through four games.
Looking at the box score, five Spurs were in double figures and several players had good individual games, but as a unit, it looks like they have a lot of work to do. It won't get easier though, as they have another tough conference foe tonight in the Portland Trailblazers.
If I were to give out a Shiny and Rusty Spur like Jeff Garcia does on each Spurscast, while I'd have a hard time giving the shiny award away on a night like this, I'd have to give it to DeJuan Blair who had 14 points, nine rebounds and a block in just 21 minutes. I'm not sure how much more Pop has to see before he starts increasing Blair's minutes and allows him to give the Spurs a chance to win games like this.
The Rusty Spur would go to George Hill, who missed countless layups and shot one of eight from the field for two points and one assist in 22 minutes.
Again, the Spurs play the Blazers tonight and be sure to come back and listen live to our Blazers pregame show, starting at 7:30 p.m. CST. We'll also be coming back live once the game ends for about an hour or so of postgame react and wrapup. We'll be taking your calls, interviewing fellow Bloguin blogger Sheed from Bust-a-Bucket, giving away a poster to a calller and previewing the game.
Broussard: Blair Nearly A Cavalier
According to ESPN's Chris Broussard on True Hoop, DeJuan Blair was 10 seconds away from being a Cleveland Cavalier.
I reported this on my NBA 411 segment on "Mike and Mike in the Morning'' today: According to information gathered from multiple league executives, DeJuan Blair was 10 seconds away from joining "King James'' and "The Big Shaquisition'' in Cleveland.
On draft night 2009, Cleveland offered Denver $2 million for the 34th pick. Cavs GM Danny Ferry thought it was essentially a done deal and had fingered Blair as the pick.
But with just 10 seconds left to make its selection, Denver was offered $2.25 million, a league record for the sale of a 34th pick, from the Houston Rockets. Because there was such a small amount of time left to make the pick, the Nuggets didn't have a chance to give Cleveland the opportunity to beat Houston's offer.
During our live draft night coverage on Project Spurs, Glenn Moore, a devout Cavs fan and host of the Dugout Sport Show, said the Cavs should take Blair with their 30th pick. Instead they selected Christian Eyenga. We both kept mentioning Blair's name as he continued to fall, never expecting him to fall right into the lap of R.C. Buford.
Buford has said that if Blair did not fall to 37, Jack McClinton, who they selected 51st, would have been their selection at 37. Since then McClinton had a poor showing during summer league play and asked to be released prior to training camp. He landed in Minnesota's camp and since has been waived.
It only took ten seconds for the rich to get richer. Instead of McClinton, who isn't on an NBA squad, the Spurs now have Blair who is averaging just over eight points and rebounds per game and looking like a possible Rookie of the Year candidate.
As for Eyenga, he opted to continue playing internationally in Spain. 0.4 seconds may not be kind to the Spurs, but I'll take those ten seconds any day.
Redesigning the Spurs Jerseys
Simple and timeless are two words that could easily describe the Spurs current jerseys.
After experimenting with red and white uniforms with blue trim in 1972, the Spurs have been using black, white and even silver since.
With other teams seemingly changing their uniforms and logos every year, I decided to try to come up with two new jersey designs that could be used to complement the current jerseys the Spurs have been using since the 2002-2003 season.
The concept behind both jersey designs aren't my own. After seeing the Spurs new shooting shirts with white in front transitioning to black in the back, I thought it might be cool to do the same with the spurs jersey and it's certainly something I'd buy.
The second jersey could be an alternate road jersey. It is a black jersey with silver/gray pintripes. A lot of Spurs fans have been begging for silver jerseys for quite some time, and while these aren't silver, the pinstripes and trim on the sides are silver.
In the future I may also look at modernizing the old silver jerseys with San Antonio written across the chest, but for now, feel free to leave your comments on these two jersey design ideas.
Spurscast In Spanish
Jeff Garcia and I covered Hispanic Heritage month in late September with a few posts. In a post titled "Blazing New Trails", I talked about the NBA marketing to all of the subcultures and country's that make up the Hispanic culture and using the one thing that strings them all together, Spanish, the language they all share.
That got us to thinking that we are leaving a lot of people out in the cold by doing the Spurscast in English only. While, I'm not conversationally fluent in Spanish, luckily Jeff is. While he won't do the entire Spurscast in Spanish, he will now be doing a separate segment of the Spurscast just in Spanish. He'll be recapping the week and talking about upcoming games. We'll also be sure to put it in our Spurscast feed by itself in addition to having it as part of the regular Spurscast episode every week.
As you listen to the first Spanish Spurscast segment, keep in mind that this is still a work in progress.

I do accept as true with all the concepts you have introduced to your post. They're very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for starters. May just you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
Hello! kkdbcca interesting kkdbcca site! I'm really like it! Very, very kkdbcca good!
Very impressive indeed. Taylor Wilson was featured on our facebook page
Keep up the great work! The great minds of our future.
Cute, but too immature to think about safety and ecology.
There are many, many unforeseeable problems that can, and WILL arise when attempting to smash tiny atoms together. First of all you need a containment vessel, strong enough to withstand the initial blast (which will probably have the same energy output as the surface of the sun, if not more) then you will need to build subsequent containment vessels around the original (due to the original containment's collapse from the immense power outburst) to hold this newly created plank length star together until it can mature into something actually useable. Conditions at the facility where the actual 'fusion' is occurring would have to be near absolute zero, anything higher and you may severely alter the climate of the entire planet. Not saying fusion is impossible, but we've known how to DO it for a long time, it's just the factor of CONTAINING the energy that makes it nearly impossible to replicate without causing severe irreversible damage to our Eco-sphere
I'm still in favor of going back to the hunter-gatherer concept of survival. Seems like there would be many less problems.
I agree with Michael. We should all do away with technology and agriculture and live among the forest!
Great article, concise summary of the issue. But while you address the finiteness of fuels, what about the finiteness of those resources and materials needed to build reactors in the first place?
Considering the United States is the only nation that ever used a Nuclear Bomb on anyone. Why is it that this nation consistently puts road blocks in the way of other nations developing their nuclear capabilities. Yet the media plays up this young persons achievements and reports that other nations are terrorist for what they do in their own sovereign nations. Double Standards in reporting doesn't make for a believable media.
Read the story a little closer. He is talking about nuclear fusion rather than fission. Currently all reactors being built are fission reactors (splitting of atoms). The inherent dangers of these reactors and the weapons they can be used to produce are why countries are against other countries gaining that ability.
Yes, fission is like a baby fusion. It's the energy found on the surface of the sun. Now the sun is 93 million miles away yet we still receive heat from it. Imagine that amount of energy applied to a whole city. Now imagine that amount of energy used as a weapon. Big trouble.Very big trouble.
"Yes, fission is like a baby fusion. It's the energy found on the surface of the sun. Now the sun is 93 million miles away yet we still receive heat from it. Imagine that amount of energy applied to a whole city. Now imagine that amount of energy used as a weapon. Big trouble.Very big trouble."
The human race will likely never be able to produce fusion energy on the same scale as the sun does. The sun converts millions upon millions of tonnes of matter into energy every second. I am not talking about hydrogen, I am talking about strict matter (E=mc^2). When a thermonuclear bomb detonates it converts a small portion of its mass into energy. It does not take much mass to get a lot of energy.
Now, nuclear fission and fusion are two different things entirely, but both death with the strong and weak nuclear forces. The strong nuclear force delivers most the punch, but the weak force is responsible for a slight bit to, but that is not important.
We cannot just bury our heads in the sand because something can be used as a weapon. Oil was once used as a weapon. Many technologies have unwanted abilities associated with them. We managed to create fusion and fission powered bombs before we were able to make power stations from them. Nuclear fusion is the next logical step in our technological evolution, with perhaps anti-matter after that... who knows.
Our energy needs will always rise as with our population. New sources, as well as cleaner more efficient fuels need to be developed, and nuclear fusion, whether it be from inertial confinement, or magnetic confinement, is important.
Energy production from the strong nuclear force causes many problems, that's true. Recently there are indications that energy production from the weak nuclear force is also feasible, which would not produce radioactive waste. Maybe Taylor could invest some time in that topic too.
There is no such thing as safe nuclear. It is inherently unsafe and then you also are asked to take the leap of faith that the industries, governments, and human operators and designers will work flawlessly. What will replace oil and coal will be better efficiency in energy use, and regular old hydro, geothermal, solar, bioengineering, etc. Richard Sears gave a brief TED talk that essentially said that: replacing energy coming from oil and coal will simply be coming by the very nature of the evolution of technology as time goes on.
You need to educate yourself about nuclear physics. Start by reading about aneutronic fusion.
You need to first know the differene between nuclear fission energy (current technology) and nuclear fusion which is much safer for a variety of reasons. And 100 times safer than plain nuclear fusion enrgy is aneutronic fusion.
A better alternative to both fission and high-pressure U235 fusion is a low-pressure Thorium LFTR. Check out this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vzotsvvkw
Nuclear energy is not clean. Yes, it goes a long way but the aftermath is thousands of years of radioactivity. What do we do when there is no where else to place nuclear waste? Why subject the future humans that will be on this earth to deal with the radiation and leaks. Sounds selfish which it is. We can be energy efficient tho not in the capacity of nuclear energy. But the consequences of nuclear energy merits other means of energy generation.
You clearly didn't read the article, our current reactors run on fission, not FUSION. fusion does not create nuclear by-product but has the potential to produce enormous amounts of energy by using hydrogen as its fuel. Like the article says, the stars already do it with ease because of their huge masses, we have to become more clever to figure out how to harness fusion reaction. you don't seem to even comprehend this subject.
Do yourself a favor and google aneutronic fusion.
And btw, producing solar panels and windmills release radioactive substances too. A coal plant releases more radiation that a regular nuclear power plant (not even a fusion plant) –look it up google coal power radiation. Anyway this stuff is above your head probably.
There is no long term waste from nuclear fusion. In fact nuclar fusion can be used to burn up waste from nuclear fission reactors. And 100 times safer than plain fusion (which is already safe) is aneutronic fusion.
We need nuclear energy but we don't need nuclear waste.
That's right. Those nasty wastes that are used in nuclear medecine and save lives. The wastes that are fed to the human body, injected in the human body or whose gamma radiations are exposed to the human body.
I wish strontium, technetium, barium and caesium would no longer be produced by nuclear fission so that more people could die of cancer sooner.
You are right, medical isotopes are very precious and are also something were running out of. Nuclear energy is the future...
The denuclearization of South Asia (Subcontinent) particularly India is imperative.
Quid pro quo transfer of nuclear technology by USA to third world countries such as India needs to be opposed on moral grounds. Billions of people live in that neighborhood and would be at risk from such catastrophes which I am sure the American people would not like to be a party to. We are all well aware that that region is prone to floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and of course terrorism placing such nuclear installations at tremendous risks. US Congress is urged to reconsider and cancel all the agreements for the transfer of such technologies due "Force Majeure".
I agree entirely. Let's be elitist. Let's not have the third world have cheap, reliable and clean electricity. How dare they ?
Kidding aside, nuclear energy is the ultimate equalizer for resource stricken countries that happen to be all in the third world.
SMRs (small modular reactors) are around the corner. They are the future of humanity for water desalination, refrigeration of food & medecine and confort.
India and all my friends from the third world deserve a change to confort and energy, which has a direct correlation to wealth and birth rate decrease.
Let's all be civilized and share the power of the atom.
We must discuss how to teach gifted children. The TV show does not discuss this, and so is missing. See Gifted Education Press Quarterly. You may read sample issues on http://www.analysis-knowledge.com/msgTeaching.htm.
There is free energy and 100% carbon free energy ready to be tapped into now.
I am wondering why geothermal is never mentioned By the department of energy or the president of United States?
There are geothermal hotspots located all over the United States and ""Offshore hot spots"", some of these hotspots are shallow. Some of the states are New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota, California and Nevada have geothermal power plants already.
These hotspots located all over the United States could easily produce half if not more for U.S. need for electricity.
Every time geothermal is mentioned, all of these different excuses not to use geothermal come up, the biggest excuse have to drill to deep, ""there are oil wells and natural gas wells drill to depths needed to reach geothermal hotspots"".
Drill down into these hotspots fracture the rock, pump down wastewater raw sewerage and contaminated commercial wastewater, let it make superheated steam let it go through steam turbines to generate electricity, then back to a closed loop back down to make steam again, just add more wastewater when needed.
If the geothermal hotspot is not quite hot enough to make superheated steam, "it will take very little fossil fuel" to raise it to superheated steam.
Geothermal is 100% free energy and it is 100% carbon free.
I can tell you why it is not mentioned by the president or Department of Energy, big energy companies, big natural gas companies, big coal companies, big railroad companies, they are doing everything they can to SQUASH geothermal, that is why it is never mentioned.
Call geothermal energy what it is: nuclear energy. Where do you think the steam comes from ? What do you think makes that steam ? That's right, fission of Uranium and Thorium deep down under.
How the heck is geothermal energy free .. you're gonna come by Saturday and build a facility for us? Or is it gonna build itself?
Why don't you google the cost of a geothermal plant .. especially of one outside iceland (which sits on a volcano).
I love his optimism... he's going to need it for a long time to make even simple breakthrough's in fussion. While brilliant, his arrogance assumes the other "big boys" are not also brilliant. Time will tell if he is for real, or just another arrogant, brilliant, optomist.
While many issues are rooted in energy, just as many are rooted in the massive waste of that energy. While seeking new energy sources is nobel, it is just as nobel to conserve that which we already have.
Let's be clear. The so called fusion reactor this kid built, is about the same in scientific reality as a lightbulb. In other words, it's a glass enclosure filled with gas, and a high voltage shot inside that causes the deuterium gas (welding gas) to glow green... Basically... an expensive light bulb. Though originally conceived by Dr. Hirsch and Dr. Farnsworth in the 1950's it is junk science, and it is totally worthless... The problem is there is so much of this "hype" flooding into the public domain from amateur scientists, that people actually start to listen to them over real physicists who devoted their lives to science and we are talking about some of the smartest people in the world. This machine has also been called by other names such as a "spherical convergent focus electrostatic ion accelerator". If you want to see something really interesting, replace the deuterium with cesium gas.
We should encourage young people to have new ideas instead of trying to dissuade them.
You are right saying "originally conceived by Dr. Hirsch and Dr. Farnsworth in the 1950's", but you are wrong saying "it is totally worthless", because Dr. Farnsworth was a real genius who invented the television, and his electrostatic fusion machine "fusor" was proven successful in performing some fusion reactions. I believe most of real physicists are not so smart as they think because most of them blindly support the ITER which is a fool's way instead of supporting electrostatic fusion machines which is a smarter way to harness the fusion energy.
As a researcher in the field, it is sad to listen to all of the public talk about things they really don't understand and comment as if they were experts. Fusion is viable, but we are many years away, not because we can't reach break even, but more for the cost. The issues are with the materials of the walls, etc. with that being said, there has been many important research gains, but our government keeps reducing funding. As a fusion researchers I believe that must will flee the country and go to china, Korea, Germany,... And yes, this may make some people happy but when research in many vital areas leave the country, we will only follow other countries in the future and not lead. We lead from innovation .. TFTR showed that break even was achievable...some shut it down. Our leadership now needs to focus more on first principle simulations on exascale computers.....
Lysco Contracting
Nuclear energy is the energy that is released from the nucleus of an atom, as it is evident from the term nuclear. During the process, mass gets converted into energy. The relation between mass and energy is given by Einstein's famous formula E=mc2, where 'E' is energy, 'm' is mass, and 'c' is the constant speed of light. In brief, nuclear energy is the energy that is obtained from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process known as Nuclear Fission. Although, there are three ways from which nuclear reaction is possible – fission, fusion, and decay, only the energy from the first has been utilized till date.
@ Lysco,
Not so fast. Cesium clocks use decay as a source of power and is the base of their precision. Strontium and Plutonium are also use as battery fuel in space travel.
And of course, battery powered by Plutonium and Strontium use the decay of the atoms as the energy source.
One must look at the malfunctions and negative effecs that are resulted from nuclear energy.
Such as the "situation" in Indiana.
Nuclear energy is nothing but dangerous. How about reporting to us on the massive radiation leak in Indiana instead????
You need to look up what aneutronic fusion is. The current nuclear plants are based on fission, not fusion.
The problem of energy, as someone said, is directly correlated to the problem of over-breeding. It is bizarre to me that we, as a planet, will turn a blind eye to the societal problems of endless breeding and act like the world's coming to an end unless we find some holy grail of energy production. Wouldn't it be easier to reverisbly sterilize people at birth, and reverse the procedure ONLY if the parents have been married for longer than 10 years and have each passed a battery of psychological, physical, financial, and intellectual testing? Over time, we could generationally reduce the world's population down to a cool million and take it easy on this planet as a species. Generations from now, when there are only a milllion of us living here, this place could be like an absolute paradise... and energy needs would be a thing of the past. We should be focusing our energies on population control and the development of robot technology to do mundane tasks such as farming, manufacturing, etc. for us. I know the religious nuts will disagree with me, since they like to breed like flies and think that "god" wants humans to spread like a virus to bring about their beloved "Armageddon" regardless of what we're doing to our world.
Joe your factually right within reason but you cant tell a genetic muppet theyre a muppet .
Also the religious say all men are equall in the eyes of god is why the inadequate flock to religion and often the most pious .
I suspect the human race will wipe its self out and a new life will be born as time as we see it is barley relevent.A
...the population for the earth will max out at 10 Billion as shown in this ted.com video here
..You may make some great points, but what you propose will never happen (unless you can get Hitler back in power)....so I have to argue that it makes more sense to fix the worlds problems using technology and education rather than sterilization or some forced control from outside (vs. inside each person individually). Education is working as you can watch by the stats ted video
Eugenics, anyone?
All the crazies come out at night... People have been claiming that the human population growth was unsustainable for centuries, but the world is still here. In fact, there's room for every man, woman, and child on Earth to have 1/4 acre each in Texas. The fact that you're proposing to sterilize babies and stand judge over who is worthy or reproducing would certainly make your Fuhrher proud. Humanity has survived and prospered because the rest of us realize that it is better to develop technologies to help us more efficiently utilize natural resources and expand into new habitats.
Scary concept, that would be too much power for the state to have. As much as I would agree that some people certainly shouldn't be reproducing, it's really no one's right to say otherwise. And like Alex said, there is plenty of land. But to that point, a lot of it is desert and isn't very sustainable. I'm willing to think the human population will balance out eventually.
From where do you gain the right to tell another human being whether he can reproduce or not?
No, even 100 million may be too many. The problem is the greed of the few ..like you .. I'll bet you use more resources than 20 Africans .. who don't own a car or all the other stuff we own. Fact is, there is enough on the Earth for everyone - if we wanted to we could build desalination plant powered by solar energy that pipe desalinated sea water into canals that green the entire Sahara desert .. there would be enough farmland to feed billions (the concept works .. Isral and a few mid eastern countries do it on a small scale). The problem is this .. even if there were two people left they may STILL fight over resources. One guy may be envious that the other guy's territory includes Mount Everest .. and next thing you know they are nuking each other over it. "There are enough resources in the world for each person's need, but there isn't nough for even one person's greed." - Mahatma Gandhi
A 10 year marriage minimum will mean that if you marry at 18 you cant have kids till 28. Given that most people (here in America) are getting married ain their late 20's and early 30's that many women are going to miss the most fertile and safe times to have children. Which to me would lead to earlier marriages to get the 10 year period ended in the mid 20's. So its like arranged marriages at age 16...Doesnt sound good.
Taylor is wrong about the Uranium supply for fission nuclear energy. Ever since the seventies, it was proven that Uranium supplies would outlast the sun.
Now with Gen IV reactors within reach, the supply of waste that still has 95% of the original energy could be used and really take out of the equation the supply of Uranium
We need aneutronic nuclear fusion energy because it is clean and safe.
Clean and safe "in theory".
Aneutronic fusion is really clean and safe. No concerns, it is needed only little safeguards; just few layers of tungsten are enough to block the X-rays. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion
What a great idea! And I have the perfect place to store all those spent fuel rods.
If Nevada were visionary, it would take today's waste realizing that it is the fuel for GEN IV fission reactors that will be as clean as fusion reactors. Closed loop, no waste. The technology is around the corner. Fusion is 50 years away and always will be.
But hey, we know there is a paradigm shift and that Nevada is short sighted.
I am an educator in Nevada and have been advocating what you propose for more than a decade. Yucca Mountain is the ideal place to launch those technologies. My prediction is that spent nuclear fuel rods will become a valuable resource some day and we should store them in such a manner that we can monitor and retrieve them for reprocessing. Mainly because of ignorance and political posturing, Nevada is missing a great opportunity to assume a leadership role in development and implementation of those technologies.
Then join us at atomicinsights.com
The level of discussion is way up there. Way up.
Nevada has a choice: Welcome to the Saudi Arabia of GEN IV reactors fuel or well, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Boring.
Even though the heat output of these hot waste rods is low, instead of cooling them with water why not take advantage of that excess heat by using thermocouples? Low power RTG's banked together outside the main reactor all put to work supplying power to the electric grid? Put those waste rods to use rather than considering them spent nuclear fuel, radioactive heat producers non the less..
You can also take the waste to your basement and it will provide heat for the winter without hurting you or your family. But hey, who wants to understand. A pint of Uranium will provide energy for a lifetime to a family of 4 and generate the waste that is equivalent in size to an aspirin. Talk about a compact and manageable waste chain.
There are no spent fuel rods in nuclear fusion you dingbat. Educate yourself, fool. Nuclear fission is totally different than nuclear fusion energy.
Its really funny about ininads.After 96 world cup it is a habit that Sri Lankan team throw them out of multi nation tournements.In Asian cup also ininads last match is against Sri Lanka.I really feel soory for them. Best thing for india is playing their own country.the pitches are made for them.out of their country indian team is nothing.I hope atleast they will win 2 t20 matches against zimbabwe.After that they can think about making a good fight against Sri Lanka.

We need nuclear power because you breeders won't stop popping out babies and there isn't enough energy to go around, so we're forced to resort to dangerous methods until we get something better, if we get something better that can keep up.
You're right....I think humanity would be best served if we all stop having children. Starting with your parents.
So u did not pop out from a breeder?
I am always fascinated by the comments of those that overpopulation is the curse. They only need to look in the mirror and start solving their perceived problem by leading by example. End your live and let the lemons follow.
I have always wondered if trying to create large scale fusion reactors wasn't a mistake, that perhaps the goal should be much smaller devices. Perhaps that is the problem with this research, they need to think on a smaller scale instead of such a large one. Because serisouly, when this finally does work will it really be an issue too have a bunch of smaller fusion reactors maybe spread through a state that one huge reactor? I can't imagine that it would. And besides, aren't we going to have to be able to make these on a small scale for them to be of any use to things like the space programs?
Well considering how dangerous such devices could be, I think they go large scale to 1) provide a central place to make things more secure and 2) Keep things managed in one area in case of a disaster.
Last thing we need is a bunch of smaller devices which could be more easily mismanaged, become disasterous across a large area rather than isolated and also centrally managed means easier to track int he way of billing for energy and keeping track of expenses.
That would be my guess as to why they go large.
Look into LENR and you'll see why that is probably not the case. As far as we can tell it should be safe enough for home use. Time will tell.
lankan soul come on my dear inadin friends try to understand the reality u guys r not talented like srilankans ..india always wins a match with one man performance , with umpires help or with crowd support not as a cricketing team .no team spirit with you guys ..only anger and jealous.that's y u guys always have fights inside the team..

portable technologies always begin with a larger version of it....look at the computer. What used to be a huge warehouse in size is now able to fit in the palm of our hands. We must learn to walk first before we run.
