Importance Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have changed the way in which patients with chronic ventricular dysfunction are evaluated and treated.
Objective To examine patient-physician communication at the time the decision is made to implant an ICD.
Design, Setting, and Participants Forty-one patients with ICDs and 11 cardiologists were recruited by a national marketing research company for a study comprising patient focus groups and standardized patient interviews in 3 different metropolitan areas.
Interventions Eight patient focus groups and (separately) 22 standardized patient interviews with cardiologists.
Main Outcome Measures Patient focus group findings and the results of standardized patient interviews (each cardiologist interviewed 2 patients).
Results The mean (SD) patient age was 61.4 (14.7) years; 21 were female. Thirty-three patients could not recall a discussion about periprocedural or long-term complications. On a scale of 1 to 10, the mean (SD) rating of the degree to which patients felt informed before the implant procedure was 5.7 (3.2) (1 indicates "not at all informed," and 10 indicates "I had all the information I needed or wanted"). The mean (SD) estimated number of patients out of 100 who would be saved by the ICD was 87.9 (20.1). A negative perception on body image and lifestyle was prevalent. Across 22 standardized patient interviews, cardiologists frequently (in >17 of 22 of interviews) did not address or minimized or denied quality-of-life issues and long-term consequences of ICD placement, including the risk for depression, anxiety, and inappropriate delivery of shock or device advisory. In 15 of 22 of the standardized patient interviews, cardiologists used unexplained medical terms or jargon.
Conclusions and Relevance Patient-physician communication about ICDs is characterized by unclear representation and omission of information to patients, with notable lack of attention to psychological and long-term risks. Training of cardiologists on information exchange with patients may promote informed decision making and preempt threats to patient quality of life.

Dr. Jerry Bagel, director of the Psoriatic Treatment Center of Central New Jersey and a clinical associate professor at Columbia University, thinks doctors and patients share the responsibility of making sure psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are fully and fairly treated.
That's why he worked with the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board, and Board of Trustees to create the new Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for People with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis. Among its principles:
The bill enables patients to get the care they need and encourages doctors to stay informed about the latest treatments.
"Patients have a right to go to a physician or be referred to a physician who is interested in psoriasis specifically," he said. "And physicians need to learn more about the disease and its impacts on the psoriatic patient."
The bill addresses the emotional aspects of the disease. Simply reading it may be enough to motivate a patient to be more assertive about getting the care he or she needs, Bagel says.
"For many generations [psoriasis] was a stepchild disease. Part of the bill is telling patients that they have the right to feel comfortable, to speak to other people about psoriasis."
Dr. Bagel hopes that the bill will help physicians realize that if they are not comfortable discussing all of the psoriasis treatments available, their responsibility is to refer their patients to another provider.
"It gives physicians a new depth of understanding of the impact of the disease on people."
"The bill is an impetus for patients to be more assertive, to take more action and be more responsible in taking care of their disorder. It is meant to be inspirational," Bagel said. "It just needed to be written down."

NEW YORK New York state-owned surplus train cars and parts will be auctioned off Dec. 11 in Rotterdam, N.Y., and Dec. 13 in Scotia, N.Y., New York State Office of General Services (OGS) commissioner RoAnn M. Destito announced Wednesday.
At least 20 train cars and more than 400 parts in various stages of production will be up for auction, including air tanks, motors and doors, as well as passenger, engine and restaurant cars, a spokeswoman for OGS said.
"Its massive. This is a lot of metal," she told AMM. "Its not going to be used and we need to dispose of it. And this seems to be the best way to do it."
The state acquired the train cars and parts being sold at the auction as part of a 1998 plan to increase rail service and reduce travel time between Albany and New York City, but the plan was unsuccessful and the parts have been unused for more than a decade.
The state has been paying over $150,000 a year in storage fees for the unused material.
"Auctioning this surplus equipment will eliminate another wasteful use of taxpayer dollars," Destito said in a statement.
Pre-bidding online has begun and buyers can bid online or in person, the spokeswoman said, noting that likely bidders include restaurateurs and homeowners, as well as scrap dealers. More than $65,000 in surplus parts have been sold on eBay so far.

Wilson Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 5 Next Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Whats New: The XV is essentially a five-door Impreza raised on its suspension, in the same way Subarus Outback is a taller Legacy wagon. Its going on sale in Europe now and coming to America in fall as a 2013 model. Subaru will rebadge the new offering as the XV Crosstrek for the U.S. market, and it will share the Imprezas choice of five-speed manual transmission or CVT. The XV will give Subaru an entry into the burgeoning low-price crossover segment, with standard four-wheel-drive traction at a starting price expected to be under $20,000. Roomier, more fuel-efficient, and better finished than the old Outback Sport, the XV also has the added ground clearance that the Sport, a mere trim package, lacked.

While most people take clean, comfy pajamas for granted, millions of children go to bed each night without these basic necessities. The Peetes talk with Genevieve Piturro, founder of Pajama Program, about her mission to provide children in need with pajamas.
While volunteering at different shelters, Genevieve says she noticed the children who stayed there went to sleep in their regular clothes. When she learned it was because the children didn't have any pajamas—and that some of the children didn't even know what pajamas were—she decided to take action. "From that day on, I've been on a mission," she says. "I'm like a machine to get as many of these hundreds of thousands of kids in this country pajamas." In 2001, Genevieve founded Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization that provides pajamas as well as books to underprivileged and foster kids. With 73 chapters across the country and the help of active volunteers, corporate sponsors and individuals, Genevieve says Pajama Program is bringing comfort and security to thousands of children with new sleepwear and books. Genevieve explains that for many of the children who come from broken homes or are waiting to be adopted, the gift of new pajamas gives them much more than just something to sleep in. "It's like [giving the children] a hug at bedtime," she says. Published on January 01, 2008

A screenshots from Sortasoft's Meriwether: An American Epic. (Courtesy Sortasoft / February 27, 2013) |
Lawson started a Hartford-area firm, 2nd Opinion Technology, in 2007, and he runs the popular music website LocalBandReview.com. He's been designing applications for well over 20 years -- standard fare for insurance companies, manufacturing, on and on -- but he says his experience with mobile is relatively limited, with only a half-dozen apps under his belt.
"I'm kind of a one-man shop," Lawson says. "I depend on the companies or the people that want them designed for the content. I do the layout. I have a couple of graphics people I can call to do some extra graphics."
For the most part, Lawson says it makes sense to create the Apple version of an app first, because "you can actually make money... The Android community doesn't normally pay a lot [for apps] whereas Apple, because of the whole iTunes culture, they're easy. They have your credit card information. You see 99 cents and you go, Yeah, okay, I'll take it."
Most developers, Lawson says, will put most of their effort into an Apple app, even though the curation process is more difficult. Apple not only tests for memory leaks and performance, but also for design patterns. And they'll reject anything that resembles what programmers call "fart apps" - essentially iPhone whoopie cushions. They don't want a bunch of fart apps clogging up their iTunes interface.
"Some of their points are valid and some of them aren't," Lawson says. "You can't really compete with any of the native features they have on their phone."
DeBonis agrees. "Sometimes [Apple] will mention something small to fix," he says. "It's never something insurmountable. I was nervous about "Nimble Strong" because of the alcohol references and the content is a little more mature. But that wasn't an issue. It's usually a technical thing." One of the games Sortasoft submitted was sent the day the iPhone 5 was issued, without the team having access to it. "We got feedback that something didn't display correctly," DeBonis said. "That was actually helpful to us... It delayed the launch by a few days, but we didn't want anybody having a bad experience either."
Seymour and MEA Mobile, meanwhile, haven't had too many issues with Apple's curation process. "It is a walled garden," he says. "But there's more hype to them rejecting things than the reality." The bottom line, he says, is that if you create a useful app that does something beneficial, Apple will approve it.
"We've never had an app rejected outright," Seymour says. "Apple is very good about identifying why an app was rejected, and then have the ability to correct that and resubmit to Apple. The good far outweighs the bad. In fact, there is no bad."
The Independent Spirit
They come from different backgrounds - Lawson from traditional programming and network security, Seymour from film and DeBonis from board game design and jazz. But all three developers seem to possess a fierce, independent streak.
Lawson mostly works alone, championing independent musicians in his leisure time, while Seymour and his colleagues all have indie filmmaking backgrounds. "We're all ex-indie film guys," he says, "which is why a lot of our apps are in the photo/video space." Among other films, Seymour produced the 2006 Connecticut-based indie film A New Wave, which starred John Krasinski (The Office), Andrew Keegan (CSI: NY) and Lacey Chabert (Party of Five). (Seymour himself played a character named Eugene.)
"Developing apps is very similar to filmmaking in that it's very collaborative," says Framularo, MEA's business development manager, who also has several film credits attached to his name. "You really need a team of people, just like doing a feature film."
For his part, DeBonis is actively engaged in what he calls "indie gaming" culture. He raised funds for "Meriwether" through a successful Kickstarter campaign, a strategy that's popular with indie rock musicians. Indie gaming, DeBonis says, is what indie filmmaking is to Hollywood: working with smaller budgets, incorporating experimental topics and perhaps getting as cutting-edge as possible. It also means less polished production values and smaller audiences.
"There's a range of different developers doing that style," DeBonis says. "A lot of them are just individuals working out of their bedrooms. Some are small studios, like what we do, a lot of which are temporary collaborations or very small companies or virtual companies. Then there's a few fairly large companies that are more established, maybe just on the edge of what's considered independent versus non-independent. There's no clear line."
Like indie rock, there's an aesthetic and attitude that comes through in the work, one that appeals to a particular type of gamer.
"It's for a combination of two groups," DeBonis says. "People who are looking for something deeper and maybe more artistic and creative, which are often the same types of people who seek out independent films or music."
The other group, DeBonis says, are "lapsed gamers," "people who used to play a lot of games on Playstation or whatever," DeBonis says, "but now that they're older and have families and jobs and other commitments, they don't really have the time to play a 100-hour console experience." Lapsed indie gamers are still looking for depth, he says, but in a form that can be played in 10 minutes or less on their iPhone, on the train or when they have a few minutes. "These two groups are looking for the same type of thing, but for different reasons... I would put myself into both of those categories."
Lawson spends much of his time these days developing an app that's most likely not going to lead to early retirement; it's an app for LocalBandReview.com, his blog dedicated to the Connecticut music scene. When it's finished, he hopes to have multiple RSS feeds coming in from other area music blogs.
"We don't want to hijack other people's [music] blogs," Lawson says. "But if they want to have their content in there, they just have to put their tag on it and it'll show up in our [app] newsfeed. I believe in giving credit to everyone. That's what I do."

What? A peer support meeting in Ottawa
When? Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 5:30 – 7:30pm
Where? University of Ottawa. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for details.
Who? Students (from any college, university, or adult education course/program) and people planning to return to school with personal experiences of psychiatric systems, madness, mental illness, mental health disability, emotional or spiritual distress, etc.
Cost: FREE
Join us this month for an informal conversation about navigating the mental health system to get what we want and need – and where we find support outside of mainstream recommendations.
• Talk with people who've been there about our experiences with crisis lines, emerg services, hospital care, medication, case managers, counsellors, and psychiatrists.
• Share info about CBT, the best self-help books, group therapy, intake processes, wait-lists, and good doctors.
• Discuss with your peers how helpful (or not) music, pets, friends, sleep, sex, exercise, pizza, veggies,
spirituality, meditation, television, sunlight, or activism is to your quality of life – and how you explain this to
your mother when she wants you to see your GP.
• What's the most unusual "alternative" source of care and support in your life?
Of course, we rarely stay on topic during our Mad meeting meanderings and look forward to hearing whatever else is on your mind! We welcome new members, frequent faces, and folks we haven't seen in a while.
Can't make the meeting? Looking for other support? Join our active email discussion listserv to continue this and other conversations. The listserv is a private place for members to talk about our lives, support each other, discuss ideas, share info/resources/events/news, and arrange local gatherings wherever we happen to be.
Questions? Directions? Nervous? Need Something? For further info, location details, to join the listserv, or if you have accommodation needs, want someone to meet you at the bus stop, or would like to chat with a member before the meeting, please email Alisa and Elizabeth at email@example.com.
More about us: Mad Students Society (MSS), created in 2005, is a community of students who are attending or planning to attend post-secondary or adult education institutions and have personal past/present experiences with psychiatric/mental health systems. We meet monthly (in Toronto and Hamilton) and communicate through an email listserv to support each other, discover tools for self-advocacy, and connect with our history and broader social movements. Visit our website at www.madstudentsociety.com or find us on Facebook.

Not much of a tutorial, but you stretch it by setting the height and width to 100%. You would probably want to use javascript though so that the image resizes with the window resize: http://buildinternet...-jquery-plugin/

I would like to request a tutorial on responsive pure css drop down menus. I have read several tutorials and none seem to go very in depth, that i have found anyways, and I have become what I like to consider 'the ultimate cut and paster'. I can easily cut and paste a code and tinker with it to get it to work but I would like to understand more in depth how css menus can be created for a responsive website. This would help to create my own unique menu and allow me to tailor it more towards my needs. Thanks!

Birthrites offers practical advice for potential parents. However, rather than concentrating solely on pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, this book also explores Becoming a Father, Adoption, and Miscarriage (to name but a few). Jackie Singer emphasizes the importance of ritual and ceremony in marking life-changing events, and sharing this experience with others.
Find Your Power describes how to strengthen your ability to bring about positive change.
Honeycomb Kids is a parenting book for the 21st Century. Including more than 300 practical ideas and activities, it comes with two priceless benefits: not only does it help you prepare your children for an uncertain tomorrow, it also helps you shift to a better family life for today.
Mother Nature has shown her hand. Faced with climate change, dwindling resources, and species extinctions, most Americans understand the fundamental steps necessary to solve our global crisesdrive less, consume less, increase self-reliance, buy locally, eat locally, rebuild our local communities.
Through the Eye of a Needle is a brilliant account of his journeyilluminating, enchanting, and often extremely funnyarguing that the way we look at clothing influences the way we look at the environment, the economy, and life itself. Few books written in our soulless times have such potential to transform peoples minds so completelywhile also making them laugh. His encounters are by turns humorous and enlightening. He meets BBC TVs Jeremy Clarkson, Hollywood superstars Richard Gere and Daryl Hannah, spiritual teachers, politicians, call-center and sweatshop workers, artists, Transition Town leader Rob Hopkins, Prince Charless own Savile Row tailor, and many others.
The Transition Timeline lightens the fear of our uncertain future, providing a map of what we are facing and the different pathways available to us. It describes four possible scenarios for the UK and world over the next twenty years, ranging from Denial, in which we reap the consequences of failing to acknowledge and respond to our environmental challenges, to the Transition Vision, in which we shift our cultural assumptions to fit our circumstances and move into a more fulfilling, lower energy world.
Ever since Thoreau's Walden, the image of the American homesteader has been of someone getting away from civilization, of forging an independent life in the country. Yet if this were ever true, what is the nature and reality of homesteading in the media-saturated, hyper-connected 21st century?
This is a profound book that is both practical and poetic. It describes a way of life that is economically and ecologically viable and sets a new standard for managing our woods in a low-impact, sustainable way. As such, it holds some of the fundamental keys to how we can achieve a lower-carbon society.

Bs will face NCCs best
Moore pitched and hit her and Lakewoods way to a 9-2
victory over Blaines Lady Bs at the Pipe April
Lady Bs Kristina combination got together to end both
Moores bid for a no-hitter and for a shutout. Kristina
Francis took care of the no no-hitter bit with a single
to open Blaines half of the fourth. Four batters later,
Kristina Beljean singled to right field to send Francis
home with the Double Bs first run. Francis got Blaines
only other hit, a line drive single to left in the fifth.
the NCC playoffs 12 days away, dugout conversation has centered
around the Lady Bs chances to appearing in the cross-conference
clash with the Nisqually Leagues candidates for district.
The format is the same as basketballs; the top two
teams in the NCC and Nisqually League proceed directly to
Sedro Woolley and district while the teams finishing third
to sixth square off in cross-over elimination matches.

Granite Falls only a game behind in seventh. The problem
involved four of Blaines final five foes Nooksack

losses of 17-5 to NV, 10-0 to MB and 15-1 to SW. The Lady

to the win.

Nooksack Valley on April 23 in North Cascades Conference
Borderites went into the bottom of the seventh at Pipeline
Athletic Field down 6-5. Craig Anderson, who had singled,
scored the tying run on a wild pitch. Ryan Sorter, running
for Nick Miller who had singled, scored the winning run
when Nooksack Valleys shortstop booted a grounder
from Ryan Pike. Ironically, Pike had made a throwing error
that allowed NV to take the lead in the seventh inning.
in the week, Meridian took two from Blaine, winning 5-0
at the Pipe behind a one-hitter by Jimmy McClellan on April
25 and 6-5 on a seventh-inning hit by Eli Slesk on April
26 at Meridian.
the April 26 game, Blaine took a 5-0 lead behind the clutch

had two runs batted in. All of Blaines runs came with
two outs. Weve had some kids come through for

up for Blaine, bi-district playoffs on Saturday morning
in Mount Vernon. The Borderites opponent has yet to
be determined.
beauty and the beast
After blanking Nooksack Valley 2-0 on April 23 in a North
Cascades Conference soccer game, described by many as a
10 on the beauty scale, Blaine was beaten 5-1 by Sultan
on April 25 in an inelegant encounter that was, perhaps,
a 1 or 2.
Corcorran scored the winning goal at 20 minutes of the first
half against NV and relayed a pass to Joe Button for an
assist on an insurance counter in the second half at the
65-minute mark. Keeper Doug Cross got the shutout. Onlookers
had nothing but lavish praise for the Borderite-Pioneers
performance at the Pipe.
Turks got the first goal in the Blaine-Sultan imbroglio,
which was also at the Pipe, as David Gideon scored at 18
minutes on a ball that bounded, both untouchable and unpredictable,
high over keeper Crosss elevated and extended reach.
second goal came on a long, lofty well-hit shot that Travis
Fortier buried in the upper left-hand corder of the Blaine
net at 20 minutes.
Joe Button got Blaines lone goal one minute into the
second half, zipping a shot along the pitch into the left
corner from 20 yards out.
Turks third goal came when Gideon took an oblique
amble across the box at maximum speed, picked up a pass
from Fortier along the way and scored. Mike Andriessen got
Sultans final two goals one on a penalty shot.
By then, however, yellow and red cards were appearing like
confetti. The first a yellow on a Turk player
had appeared at 19 minutes of the first half. The second
and third yellows on a Borderite and a Turk
came at 32 minutes. The fourth and fifth, again shared by
a player on each side, came late in the first half.
more cards came calling in the second half Yellow
on two Blaine and one Sultan player and a red on a Borderite.
Nine cards in 80 minutes may or may not be a record, but
either way, an aura of ugliness pervaded the Pipe. Fortunately
such is rarely the case. The Borderites dropped a 3-0 road
decision on April 17 to front-running Lynden Christian,
but bounced back to crush Granite Falls 7-0 in Tigerville
on April 19.
got two goals for Blaine, while Mike Braun, Alden Walcon,

solo efforts.

boys totaled 71 points to finish third and the Borderite
girls tallied 29 points to end in a tie with Eatonville

Nooksack Valley on April 28.
Nick McGee and Becky Riddle won the boys and girls shot
put events respectively. McGees winning toss went
47-0; Riddles traveled 34-2.
in the week, Borderite Andrew Martin won the javelin with
a 149-7 toss and the high jump with a self-levitation of
5-10 as both Blaine boys and girls placed second to Cashmere
in a quad track meet at Sultan on April 24.

What a fantastic and easy recipe to make. i added some chopped garlic with the potatoes. The cream makes this dish so delicious. Easy to make and will be one of our family favorites. I like the idea of heating the cream and infusing it with other flavors.
jaschwab21 Nov, 2007
great recipe and used this for over 5 years (the only one i use now). i gently heat the cream and infuse it with rosemary, onion, chives, or whatever will complement the main course. Everyone I have served this to just loves it and cannot believe how easy it is. keep it up martha for easy recipes that look hard.

A drug allergy occurs when your immune system reacts abnormally to a medication. A number of drugs can cause a drug allergy, including prescription and over-the-counter medications. The most common signs of a drug allergy are hives, rash or fever. You can have an allergic reaction to a drug anytime you take it, even if it caused no reaction in the past.
Most drug-related symptoms are not a true drug allergy and don't involve the immune system. Drug allergy and nonallergic drug reactions are often confused because they can cause similar symptoms. Either type is called an adverse drug event and needs to be checked by a doctor. Some allergic and nonallergic drug reactions can be severe or life-threatening.

Prosecutors haven't outlined specific allegations against 53-year-old Rhinaman
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) - A Steubenville City Schools employee has pleaded not guilty to tampering with evidence and three other charges brought by a grand jury investigating a now-infamous rape case opened earlier this year.
Steubenville Schools technology director William Rhinaman also asked for a public defender during Wednesday's Jefferson County court hearing, saying he doesn't know if he'll be paid while on leave following his arrest earlier this week. The 53-year-old Rhinaman also faces charges of obstructing justice, obstructing official business and perjury.
Rhinaman left jail after Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove released him on his own recognizance.
Prosecutors haven't outlined specific allegations against Rhinaman. A judge convicted two Steubenville high school football players of raping the 16-year-old West Virginia girl after an August 2012 party.

Twenty-two-year-old community college student Ross Ulrich confessed to FBI agents when they raided his family's home.
Will he be "the next editor on the hot seat"?
After her departure, the creative-director position will not be filled.
It's a big day in the land of fashion editorial.
'Vogue' editor Sally Singer is said to have turned down the job.
And "more of a general-interest style magazine."
Editorial director Patrick McCarthy is out. Who will be in?
And since Jacoby Ellsbury's steal of home will be replayed on every highlight reel for the next year, you'll get to relive it over and over again.
Seriously, the days of underestimating animals are over, folks.
This is worse than when the Snowflake Ball was filmed in Brooklyn.
They're — gasp — calling his office to try to talk to him! There will be consequences!
That's what some people lunching there wonder. Plus, the latest in New York media, finance, and legal news.
Bajillionaire Branson may be spending more time in Manhattan. Meanwhile, Cablevision lawyer Harvey L. Beneson mortgages his Hamptons house to pay off his lawsuit, UBS clients run scared as a federal investigation warms up, and another magazine catering to the rich appears on the horizon, in today's roundup of news from the worlds of real estate, law, finance, and media.
'The Nation' editor and publisher reminds lady bloggers that imitation is flattery, Dick Grasso heads to court, and either a W or a Westin sets its sights on the Lower East Side — all that and more, in our daily digest of media, finance, real-estate, and law news.

24 Day Course (1 lesson per day)
Do you struggle with your weight? Have you been on countless diets and regained your lost weight every time? Do you overeat when you're worried, bored, under stress, sad, angry, or even happy? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, The Skinny Thinking Thought Diet can help you.
Any one can force off weight on a diet, but it's like pulling off the top of a weed. It comes right back unless you take care of the root - the way you think about food. Here's why the Skinny Thinking Thought diet can help you, when everything else has failed. It radically changes your relationship to food by changing the way you think about it. To put it simply, it's Eckhart Tolle meets food.
Imagine not being able to gain weight. "Impossible!" you say? Not so.. Many of my students can't gain weight again because they don't think about food any more. Thinking leads to desire which leads to action. If you stop thinking about food, you can't desire it, and you can't gain weight.
Using the simple five minute daily exercises in the Skinny Thinking Thought Diet, you will learn how to stop thinking about food and how to stop romanticizing it.
Here is what the course gives you:
Laura Katleman-Prue, author of the bestselling book, Skinny Thinking, is a graduate of the Theravision Institute for Transpersonal Psychology in Boston. She has been teaching meditation and self-inquiry since 2007 and has successfully counseled people about their eating issues, both individually and in Skinny Thinking Workshops. Skinny Thinking grew out of her desire to share the techniques that permanently healed her eating, weight, and body image issues.

I should have known better, but I also deserve better. Elton Brand is dead to me. In the end, I have one of my favorite players, UCLA's very own Bomb Dizzle, so at least they'll be interesting.
anyone hear Dunleavy on 710 this afternoon?
I missed it, but according to the clips espn boards he:
- was reading text messages between himself and Brand, where Brand said get me 5-years $75 million and Davis and I'm in
- has a written contract with the 5/75 terms; wasn't signed but has Falk's writing all over it.
- spoke yesterday with Davis, who is none too happy.
They picked up Marcus Camby for a second round pick. Having two guys that averaged 13 boards and 3 blocks isn't too shabby.
I don't think there is a 4/5 combo that matches well against Kaman and Camby. If BDiddy can figure out how to make these guys work well on offense, the Clipps look pretty good.
I don't see a 4/5 combo in the west that the Clipps cannot dominate the matchup defensively. If you're too fast for Kaman, Camby guards you. If you're too big for Camby, Kaman guards you.
Then on offense, Kaman get's all the low post touches, Camby gets his 18 ft jumper, so the 2 bigs cannot camp down low. I don't know if I'd want to be a big facing those two, and then helping on the Davis and Thorton drives. If Gordon and Mobley can be useful 3 pointers, Clipps might salvage the season. Clipps might actually be very good if Thomas can stop being so lazy too.
Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, Tim Thomas, Eric Gordon, Shaun Livingston, Al Thornton.
Not exactly a scary team on paper but i think they will be surprisingly good.
Shaun Livingston? He get a new leg or something?
Or a new contract? Wasn't he cut a few weeks ago?
wow camby for basically nothing. He and Kaman should make for a tough defensive duo (if they stay healthy). Wlil probably see a lot of alley-oops coming from Baron this year.
I think Camby's got 2 years left on his deal. And if I'm not mistaken mobley and thomas come off the books then?
Clippers should have a lot of cap room come 2010..

"We have two guys who deserve to play in the game so we'll play both of them."
TCU Coach Gary Patterson understands that line of thinking. For the first time in his career he is confronted with the possibility of a two-QB system. In fact, Boykin and Paschal are his two offensive captains for the season opener.
Paschal, a senior, is 15-2 as a starter. Boykin, a sophomore, led TCU to three Big 12 road wins last year in Paschal's absence, including a 39-38 double-overtime win in Morgantown.
"I think I can win with both of them," Patterson said.
Time will tell if Holgorsen can do the same with his finalists - or if he even needs them both at all. The situation could sort itself out in Saturday's season opener.
Texas Tech Coach Kliff Kingsbury mentored Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M last season. Manziel won the job, but took it to another level on the field.
"Until the lights come on and you see them out there doing their thing and it's tackle to the ground, you really don't know exactly what you have," Kingsbury said. "I know last year until that first drive of the Florida game with Johnny, we knew we had a player; we didn't know we had a great player until then."
The Red Raiders may also use multiple quarterbacks at Southern Methodist in college football's opening weekend.
"We're not opposed to playing two guys," Kingsbury said, "if that's the best way to win the game. Whatever we think we need to do to win the game, we'll do as far as those quarterbacks go."
That logic is steering Holgorsen's decision-making as he embarks on this third season as a head coach. He said he is "not as antsy" as he thought he'd be without a starter in game week.
Perhaps that is because he knows he isn't in a situation like a baseball manager without a reliable closer. Maybe Closer A blows three consecutive save chances and gets the hook from the role, but Closer B squanders his chances, too. The committee approach is a byproduct of not having a quality option.
Holgorsen happens to have two players who've performed at such a high level that he's letting the competition continue and his quarterbacks improve.
There's no reason to cringe or avert your eyes.
