Some members of the Boston School Department's police force believe they might be unprepared to respond to a mass shooting like the one in Newtown, Conn., because they cannot carry guns and lack bulletproof vests and adequate training to defuse such a situation.
School police also could encounter challenges in summoning armed officers from the Boston Police Department because their decade-old radio system prevents them from communicating directly with the city's police force or Emergency Medical Services, said a lawyer representing some officers.
School police would have to call their own dispatchers, who would then contact Boston police for armed backup — a relay of information they contend could cost precious minutes in saving lives.
"They don't have the proper tools to confront the things that they might confront in the school and indeed the things they confront every day," said Alfred Gordon, a Boston lawyer who represents the ranking officers in the school police force. "Would we be prepared to face something like what happened in Newtown? I don't know. I wish we could say with ultimate authority that we are, but I don't know."
City officials have reassured parents that their children are safe in school. But Matthew Wilder, a School Department spokesman, said Superintendent Carol R. Johnson is planning to look into equipping school police with bulletproof vests and into whether it makes sense for the school police's radio system to be connected directly with that of the Boston Police Department.
School police, who are trained to conduct emergency lock-downs of buildings, have long sought the authority to carry guns, but Johnson and Mayor Thomas M. Menino oppose the idea.
In a statement, Johnson said: "While I think there is always more we can do to make our schools even more secure and safe, I don't believe arming our school police officers is the answer, and neither do the parents I've spoken with. We must do all we can to secure our buildings while at the same time making our schools welcoming and nurturing environments.''
Since the late 1970s, the School Department has operated its own police force, which replaced state and city police who stopped patrolling the hallways as racial tensions — sparked by court-ordered busing a few years earlier — began to ease.
Boston school police, a unit of 55 officers and 20 supervisors, cover all middle and high schools around the city and operate on a $3.9 million annual budget.
The Boston Police Department also assigns a unit to schools that is trained to deal with active shooters. The unit has 13 officers, three detectives, and one supervisor, and they wear bulletproof vests and carry firearms, mace, and batons. But the primary responsibility of patrolling the halls falls on school police.
Should a gunman attack, Boston school police are the first line of defense, Gordon said.
"They disarm students regularly," he said. "There but for the grace of God you've never had the type of tragic event that you had there in Connecticut. But these officers are constantly facing students with everything from small knives to guns in school. They don't have any similar weapon either defensive or offensive to deal with that, but yet they're expected to, and indeed do, keep the schools safe."
On average, Boston school police confiscate one or two guns a year and more than 300 sharp-edged objects, according to School Department data.
So far this school year, they have confiscated 124 knives and other sharp-edged objects and one firearm, which was found at the Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester.
If they were to encounter a gunman, Boston school police would immediately order a lock-down. That could prompt teachers to hide students in closets or corners of a classroom, as they did in Newtown.
Just three days after the Newtown shooting, an incident outside the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School in Dorchester suggested a serious lapse in school security.
A staff member wrongly let two young men inside through a side door — rather than the school's front door — to watch basketball tryouts. School police told them to leave, but they returned with two other young men and got into an argument with a male student outside the gymnasium, threatening him with a firearm, according to a city police report. City police were called, and the four young men ran off.
Police tracked down one of them on a nearby street and found a firearm in a backpack.
Boston school police are currently negotiating a new contract with the city. Gordon, who is representing ranking officers in the contract negotiations, declined to comment on the matters under discussion. But several school police officers, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said that a new contract should provide for better equipment. Continued...

Pujols is back, while Jones never left
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- When it comes to Los Angeles Angels big money slugger Albert Pujols' season, a couple of Eminem songs from about 12 years ago come to mind.
In April, fantasy owners were begging for the real Albert Pujols to please stand up. It seemed unfathomable at the time, but Pujols was one of the worst hitters in baseball in April. He hit .217 with a .570 OPS. He didn't hit his first home run until May 6, 111 at-bats into the season, and fans were wondering what was wrong with the superstar.
It turns out, it was just a big slump as Pujols was getting acclimated with American League pitching after spending 11 seasons in the Senior Circuit. There was no injury and no decline in skill. Just a slump, simple as that.
And now, Pujols, a 32-year-old former three time National League MVP, is singing, "guess who's back, back again, Albert's back, tell a friend."
Pujols is indeed back, wreaking havoc on pitchers everywhere and raising his average a little bit each day. Pujols has strung together seven straight multi- hit games to raise his average from .236 to .263. It's going to take a little more than seven days for Pujols to get back to the level he's been at his entire career, but we should have no doubt in him anymore.
Pujols' resurgence isn't limited to the last week. In the past 30 days, the Angels first baseman is ranked fourth overall in Yahoo! leagues, second among hitters to teammate Mike Trout. In that span, the slugger is batting .349 with eight homers, 25 RBIs, 20 runs scored, four steals and a 1.060 OPS. The surge has pushed Pujols inside the overall top 100 for the first time all season.
There's still plenty of room for improvement, too. Pujols' BABIP is still just .265, so, hopefully, as that continues to normalize, his true batting average will rise close to .300.
If you own Pujols or are attempting to acquire him, I would consider his value to be the same as it was last year. Don't worry about what he did in April. That month is dead and gone and Pujols is alive, well and ready to destroy pitching for the rest of the season.
While the Angels first baseman may be back, Baltimore's Adam Jones never left. Unless you consider his 0-for-11 streak from June 6-8 an exit. I don't, especially considering Jones has more than made up for it in the past three games.
Since that stretch, the Orioles outfielder has gone 8-for-16 with two homers, four RBIs and five runs scored, including a 4-for-5 performance Tuesday against Pittsburgh.
On the strength of that effort, Jones raised his average to .310 and his homer total to 18. He also has 39 RBIs, 44 runs scored and nine steals. With those numbers, Jones, still just 26 years old, is threatening to be the No. 1 player in the fantasy game. He's at No. 3 right now, behind Texas' Josh Hamilton and Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez.
Though Jones has a .259 average and a .723 OPS in 277 career games after the All-Star break, it seems like we may be able to throw some of those past numbers out the window this season as Jones is clearly coming into his prime.
Unless another owner makes you an offer you just can't refuse, take the risk that instead of declining in the second half this season, Jones will continue to make a play for the No. 1 overall spot.

Guard: Murray collected vials before calling 911
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The first bodyguard to reach Michael Jackson's bedroom after the singer's doctor called for help testified Thursday that he was told by the physician to gather medicine vials before calling 911.
Alberto Alvarez said Dr. Conrad Murray grabbed the vials from a nightstand next to Jackson, who was still in his bed.
"He said `Here, put these in a bag."' Alvarez said of Murray. Alvarez said at first he thought he was bagging the items in preparation for a trip to the hospital. He said he trusted Murray because he was a doctor.
"In my personal experience, I believed Dr. Murray had the best intentions for Mr. Jackson," Alvarez said. "I didn't question his authority."
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren showed Alvarez and jurors a vial of propofol while the bodyguard was on the stand at the third day of Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial. Murray has pleaded not guilty.
Jurors intently looked at the bottle, which appeared to still contain some liquid.
Prosecutors are calling key witnesses in an attempt to show Murray delayed calling authorities on the day the King of Pop was found lifeless and was intent on concealing indications that he had been giving the singer doses of the surgical anesthetic.
At times during Alvarez's testimony, he looked directly at Murray, who occasionally passed notes to his attorney.
When he entered the bedroom, Alvarez said, he saw Jackson's eyes were open and was surprised to see the singer was wearing a condom catheter, a medical device that allows one to urinate without having to get up.
Alvarez testified that Murray only told him Jackson had a bad reaction.
Walgren played Alvarez's 911 call for jurors. "He's pumping the chest, but he's not responding to anything, sir," Alvarez told the dispatcher, urging them to send an ambulance quickly.
The burly Alvarez became emotional as the 911 call was played for jurors. Jackson's mother, Katherine, appeared distraught and her son, Randy, huddled next to her and put his arm around her.
"Was that difficult to hear?" Walgren asked.
"It is," Alvarez replied.
Alvarez said, after hanging up with dispatchers, he performed chest compressions on Jackson while Murray gave the singer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation efforts. The doctor remarked it was his first time performing the procedure.
"`I have to,"' Alvarez recalled Murray telling him, "`because he's my friend."'
Alvarez recalled seeing Murray at the hospital where Jackson was taken and sitting next to the emergency room.
"'I wanted him to make it,"' Alvarez quoted Murray as saying. "'I wanted him to make it."'
Alvarez said he's been approached numerous times by media outlets that have offered him hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell his story. He's refused every time, even though he's struggled financially since Jackson's death.
"I don't have steady work," he said. "I went from a great salary to hardly anything."
Prosecutors have been calling witnesses who were with Jackson and Murray the day the singer died. Authorities accuse Murray of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom.
The jury has already gotten a glimpse into the entertainer's inner sanctum through photos and testimony. Alvarez's account of what occurred on the day of Jackson's death was challenged by Murray's defense attorneys.
Ed Chernoff began to attack Alvarez's recollection of when Murray asked the bodyguard to gather the medicine vials. Chernoff suggested Alvarez may have placed the vials in the bag after paramedics arrived. Alvarez maintained Murray gave his instructions prior to the 911 call.
Chernoff questioned Alvarez's timeline, noting that the bodyguard had spoken to Jackson's personal assistant on a cell phone two minutes before he called 911. The call, according to records, lasted 88 seconds. Chernoff then began to tick off the number of things Alvarez said he did, including ushering two of Jackson's kids out of the bedroom, before Murray asked the bodyguard to grab the vials.
On Wednesday, Chernoff asked Faheem Muhammad, Jackson's head of security, and Michael Amir Williams about whether they conferred with Alvarez before their interviews with detectives.

Hartford Marathon Foundation and ING Continue Marathon Partnership Through 2013
Event To Bring Thousands of People to Hartford in October
March 26, 2012, Glastonbury, Conn. – The Hartford Marathon Foundation is pleased to announce the continued partnership with ING U.S. for Connecticut's premier running event, the ING Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon. ING, title sponsor of the Marathon since 2008, has extended its commitment through 2013. Together, the Foundation and ING have catapulted the Marathon to become nationally recognized. The Foundation is thankful to ING for its ongoing support and dedication; the 2012 event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 13 in Bushnell Park. For information, visit http://www.inghartfordmarathon.com.
Since joining forces, race participation for the event has grown 113%, and 14,000 individuals are expected to compete this year. Each October, Hartford and the surrounding communities are bustling with more than 45,000 runners, spectators and volunteers. Since the Marathon's inception in 1994, the event has pumped an estimated $55 million into the local economy.
"Our continued partnership with ING is truly an honor for the Hartford Marathon Foundation. With ING's support, we've added new programs to ING Hartford Marathon events and have gained national exposure in the sports world," said Beth Shluger, Executive Director of the Hartford Marathon Foundation. "We are dedicated to helping athletes meet their fitness goals by creating a race atmosphere and resources that are inspiring and promote safety and wellness."
"The ING Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon has become one of the best running events in the Northeast, and we're thrilled to extend our role as title sponsor," said Ann Glover, Chief Marketing Officer of ING U.S. "With a major presence in the region, the Marathon represents a wonderful opportunity to support Greater Hartford while enabling our employees to get involved in the community."
In 2011, the Hartford Marathon Foundation established the inaugural ING Elite Inspiration Team to recognize the many inspiring personal journeys that compel participants to run ING Hartford Marathon events. With the shared commitment to health and well being, ING was named presenting sponsor of the Team and helped to honor and recognize the 11-member group during race weekend festivities. The program was a huge success and will continue going forward.
Both ING and the Foundation are dedicated to children's fitness. New for 2012, the Foundation will provide additional events for 2-17 year olds, specialized youth training guides and resources and information for parents in a dedicated new website, HartfordMarathon.com/FitKids. The ING Hartford Marathon events feature a Kids K on race morning, and the ING Run For Something Better program, which engages thousands of Hartford-area middle school students in running their own half marathon leading up to marathon weekend. The program culminates with a race event at Bushnell Park on the Friday before Marathon weekend.
About the Hartford Marathon Foundation
Founded in 1994, the Hartford Marathon Foundation was created to bring large-scale athletic events to the city of Hartford and state of Connecticut. Now in its 19th year, the Foundation organizes over 50 runs, triathlons and training programs for adults and children. Annually, over 43,000 athletes and 60,000 spectators participate in Foundation events. HMF has been awarded numerous accolades for their eco-friendly initiatives and commitment to organizing programs that promote health, fitness and enjoyment for all participants.

Dewar's 12 Year Old Sometimes the best things in life are as simple as they come. But going the extra mile in aging Scotch Whisky makes it even better. We pioneered our own double-aging process over a 100 years ago, putting our whisky back into butts after blending, to age it twice for a smoother taste, fuller flavour and longer finish. The longer the individual whiskies get to know each other, the better the glass of Scotch at the end of it. So after 12 years, you're getting a honeyed, fruity whisky that is pretty special. Our Drams Close
Dewar's 18 Year Old Dewar's has been making whiskies of great age since our founder John Dewar first realised leaving his Scotch in wooden casks for longer made a real difference to the taste. And our 18 year old Scotch continues to follow in the footsteps of his legacy. A precious dram, putting the whisky back into the cask to mature a second time after blending (double-aging), allows all of the older and characterful whiskies to get to know each other before they go into the bottle. With flavours that go hand in hand with an older whisky (nuttiness and marzipan to name just two), age doesn't come without sacrifice - over half of the cask will evaporate during the aging process. But whilst the Angel's enjoy their Share, what's left behind is all you need concern yourself with - an amazing Scotch. Our Drams Close
Dewar's Signature Dewar's Signature not only blends together some of the rarest Scotch on offer - but embodies different ages of the same whiskies to create layers of flavour that make this a complex and compelling dram that's smooth and easy to drink. Although it's John Dewar's signature on every bottle of Scotch in our family, this particular Signature is bespoke to each Master Blender. A statement of perseverance and perfection, Dewar's Signature uses only the finest-tasting whisky from across Scotland and showcases in every drop the magic that makes Scotch Whisky the best whisky in the world. Our Drams Close
Dewar's White Label Dewar's White Label whisky was created in 1899 by our first Master Blender, A J Cameron. With a blend of up to 40 single malt and single grain whiskies in every bottle, getting a result that was well-rounded and smooth enough to enjoy neat was no easy feat. Crafted with the same care today as it was in the beginning, we're confident that if the great man himself walked into the blending room tomorrow, he'd recognise his signature Scotch Whisky. Our Drams Close

Deputy Attorney General Richard Svobodny would not comment on specifics related to Anchorage Patrol Officer Boaz Gionson drawing his service weapon and fatally shooting Shane Tasi when APD officials say Tasi aggressively approached him with a stick.
"As soon as the police department knows there's an officer involved shooting, they call officers to commence that investigation," Svobodny says. "The second call goes to the head of the special prosecutions section of the Department of Law."
Svobodny says while there is not a statute requiring special prosecutors to investigate officer- involved shootings, any time there is one involving an APD officer the police department will request an independent state investigation.
The process is important because Svobodny says it allows the public to know someone not immediately involved with the case is in charge of the investigation, while also allowing for a statewide, uniform approach.
"The idea is that there be a place for police departments to have an independent review of their investigation to determine from a matter of criminal law whether there should be a criminal charge filed," Svobodny says.
The special prosecution division, Svobodny says, includes the law department's most experienced staff members, including current office head Clint Campion, former head Jay Fayette, and former police officer Greg Olson. Svobodny would not comment which official is handling the Tasi investigation.
In addition to officer-involved shootings, OSPA manages specialized cases, including environmental crimes, child support, permanent fund dividend fraud, and commercial fish and game cases.
Generally, Svobodny says, officer-involved shooting investigations are rapidly handled because of high public interest, and, in most cases, once all reports are received a report is usually generated within a week.
However, investigations can take much longer. Svobodny says analyzing the 2006 Homer Airport officer-involved shootout between a fugitive and members of the Homer Police Department and U.S. Marshals Service took about one year.

Compression tool delivers
While we could have done without the product pushes, this free file compression tool delivered good results. We especially liked its drag-and-drop functionality for creating new zip files.
There are three ways to access TyphoonZip's user interface: desktop shortcut, taskbar shortcut, and your context menu. The interface is nice to look at, and very easy to navigate. It consists of one window, with prominent command buttons for creating new zip files, opening zip files, and more. When right-clicking on the taskbar icon, we were a little put off by the long list of extra tools that require you to … Read more

So Dexter puts down his scalpel for the Summer and we are left reeling after another typically tense, nerve wracking season. Since the second series dealt with Dexter himself being hunted, viewers might have worried the show would have peaked. After seeing our titular serial killer in the cross hairs, a return to just another mystery antagonist might have seemed decidedly old hat.
The writers are wise enough to know that Dexter's internal struggle is what's gripping and while the cases are interesting and entertaining; if they don't directly comment on our anti-hero our minds may wander. Enter Jimmy Smits and his force of nature performance as Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado, Dexter's first true friend and surprise confidante, to shake up the formula. The Doakes character of the first two years provided a healthy conflict, here was someone who saw past the Boy Scout veneer of Dexter but the loss of that character last season could have wounded the dynamic of the show. Thankfully Smits inherits this mantle and while their relationship is different flashes of the same battle can be seen throughout. There is an initial shaky start when establishing this necessary if slightly improbable friendship between a lowly forensics specialist and a high profile DA.
The writers struggle to convince us the viewers that someone as obsessively secretive as Dexter could let someone new into his world. Death has always been Dexter's way of life so it is fitting that an initial murder (Dexter kills Miguel's brother in self defence) first brings them together and a second more justified (I.e. adhering to Dexter's code) locks the two characters together.
Miguel finds out that Dexter has killed a drug dealer named Freebo who Miguel assumes was his brother's killer and surprisingly he sees the justice in Dexter's extra curricular activities. This gives the show a brand new colour as we've grown so accustomed to Dexter the lone dark defender so adding a sidekick, a slightly unstable one at that is fantastic fodder.
There is a background mystery involving yet another serial Killer "the Skinner" who is also looking for Freebo. This is the procedural dressing that gives the side characters something to investigate and while it does take a while to properly dovetail with the main story arc, when it does it is wonderful. This is essentially a two header however between Smits Miguel and Halls Dexter and their shifting, constantly evolving dynamic is a master class of good Television. In particular the scenes they share in later episodes crackle with an undeniable chemistry.
Shows like Prison Break and 24 pride themselves on twists and turns but Dexter is one of a select few of shows that genuinely surprises me and while the end destination is never entirely in doubt it does challenge the viewer by placing characters in very awkward situations. Every time I think they've written themselves into a corner there's a swerve left and the whole nature of the show can be uprooted. In a good way, though I promise! There is a danger that too many close scrapes for Dex and the tension will be removed, a network crying a type of "serial killer wolf" but for the time being it works. I always think the show is at its best when Dexter is under pressure and racing against the clock. This season however gives us both sides of the character, the desperate self interested "hero" and that of the master manipulator.
As much as I enjoyed it the show
I love Dexter, and definitely enjoyed watching this season, but I was not glued to my seat this time. This is the least enjoyable of the 5 seasons, but I still enjoyed certain episodes. My biggest issues stem from the fact that I was born and raised in Miami and my husband is Cuban, so I know a lot about Cuban culture. Being from Miami, I was disappointed by Jimmy Smitts' performance as a Cuban. I would assume they had a consultant for the show regarding Cuban culture, but whomever it was, they missed the mark. His accent went in and out, and his Brooklyn accent comes out frequently. Also, in the Cuban culture, many people add "-ito" to the end of someone's name when referring to them affectionately. I only heard that once, by Ramon in one of the later episodes, referring to their dead younger brother "Oscar-ito." Smitts' just fell flat for me, and his character did not ring true. Unfortunately, this really put a damper on how I felt about the entire season. If you are not from Miami or another area that embodies a lot of Cuban culture, you may not notice and feel just fine, but his performance was just a huge disappointment for me. Also, the story line throughout the season fell flat, and the way the season ended, I felt no need to go on to season 4. Luckily, I had heard so much about season 4, I gave it a chance any way, and that was the right decision. Season 4 brings the series back to life, and so far, season 5 is continuing to carry on the legacy that is Dexter. Season 3 isn't bad, it's just not that great in comparison to all the other seasons.
In the third season of Showtime's hit series Dexter the action and drama pick up where seasons 1 and 2 left off and never miss a beat. Although Season 3 starts off a bit slow, the pace picks up after the first few episodes until you are locked into the plot. The ongoing web of intrigue surrounding Dexter's personal life and his "dark passenger" takes a surprising twist as Dexter befriends Miami ADA Miguel Prado (played by Jimmy Smits) as his "blood brother". The intensity builds until the climactic finale but if you want to know how it ends, you'll have to watch it for yourself.
Dexter is a great TV series from Showtime. I don't bother getting Showtime, but I bought the Dexter series DVD's. Dexter Season 3 continues the great theme of the show. The acting of supporting characters could use some improvement at times, but the acting of Michael C. Hall (Dexter) is top notch. The introduction of Jimmy Smits (Miguel) as the ADA in season 3 adds another top notch actor to the mix. Looking forward to season 4.
Anyone that hasn't seen Dexter from season 1 through season 3 is missing out ! Showtime gets turned on every year for Dexter at my house and when its done for the season, its turned off. Dexter is a blood splatter patholigist for the Miami police dept. and I guess you could call him kind of a bounty hunter or a "cleaner". He rids the world of the "garbage" killers after he finds out (through his employment) who they are. Don't get me wrong, Dexter is a good guy but has grown up with the need to kill. His dad Harry (1st season) who also was a cop, turned his need to kill into something that would benefit the world, getting rid of the "garbage" that get away with everything they do, and then do it again. I can watch the season over and over. Dexter never gets tiring or boring. Can't wait for season 4 to begin.

Pickle Heaven
I am usually not too struck on Pork pies and bought this as part of a Picnic deal. However they are absolutely lovely and I will be buying again. I am only gutted that they only come in packs of 2, but perhaps this is a blessing in disguise!!

Great taste - odd that the product name does not state that it contains cheese. Especially as it is the combination of cheese and pickle which makes this delicious. I don't like pork pies but I do like these pork, cheese and pickle pies. Rename them Waitrose, please.

And Beaverboi is completely right.
And Beaverboi is completely right.
Just because a player has potential, doesn't mean he'll ever reach it. Notice that Apollo said PHYSICAL tools. What he doesn't have are the other tools, such as knowledge and desire. We've had a first hand look at him for 5 years and it's pretty obvious to anyone with an objective mind that what you see is what you get with Bargnani. The hope is that another team will do what so many team's have done before and think that THEY can get the diamond out of the coal. New York tried with Eddy Curry (and Anthony Randolph). Minnesota tried with Michael Beasley (and Anthony Randolph). Orlando tried with Darko Milicic. 9 times out of 10 it doesn't work out, but bad teams usually will take chances on these players because they are desperate. You rarely see contenders take chances on the these types of players because they know it's simply not worth it.

Sorry, but that doesn't make me feel better about the quote. It's basically the same thing he said about rebounding last year. The fact is that he knows he's not working hard enough, but doesn't change. Knowing what you need to do and actually doing are two completely separate things. If they weren't, no one would be overweight, would they?

First thing I do is look for teams that don't seem to "focus" on defense, like New York, Orlando and Golden State, as well as bad teams, that tend to be willing to take more chances on players like Bargnani, like Minnesota. You might also want to target those teams that have maybe plateaued or underachieved, like Atlanta. As for what we'd get in return, I'd want either a high draft pick or a young prospect. I agree with Apollo (I think it was) that several mediocre players is the last thing the Raptors need.

DeRozan rebounding stats for 2009-10: 4.8 ORR, 10.8 DRR, 7.9 TRR
DeRozan rebounding stats for 2010-11: 3.0 ORR, 10.2 DRR, 6.6 TRR
A TRR decrease of 16%.
While I agree statistics do not always tell the true story, the empirical evidence does not support your claim that DeRozan is now a better rebounder (in fact, it suggests the opposite).
DeRozan may be good defensively for a guy who's been out of high school for three years but unfortunately, his opponents are not guys who have been out of high school for three years. DeRozan is currently a bad defender regardless of what his potential ceiling might be.
One thing we do agree upon is DeRozan is an important piece. I am not yet sold he will be anything other than a good offensive weapon but I have not concluded he will not significantly improve in other areas either.
I believe we agree it would be very prudent for Barbosa to exercise his player option. I would not trade for another SG (unless it's an end of bench player) until Barbosa is moved.
And yes, I am hoping Barbosa is moved this Summer.
Mayo has been working on his PG skills... Do we really need another shoot first PG experiment after Jack and Bayless? Especially one who has yet to play PG in this league?
It's a huge risk in my opinion and I believe Bargnani, if traded, should be traded for young players who are safer bets.
Maybe the explanation below will help you understand my position.
I come from a baseball statistician background and I did a lot (paid and unpaid) research in the area of Sabermetrics. Baseball is a sport where batting and defensive career projections are much more reliable than basketball. In fact, I have to see an equivalent model which predicts how players will develop as defenders in basketball.
You see something immeasurable in DeRozan which makes you believe he will become a good defender.
I love his work ethics and his athleticism but I have no way to project how he will develop as a defender and rebounder. All I see right now is a bad defender with potential. Let's hope this potential will turn into reality.

Multipaul has been banned from the forum. Much discussion goes on behind the scenes and this was not an easy decision. However, it was felt this course of action was in the best interests of the members on the forum. Many warnings were given by numerous moderators and adminstrators until it became obvious the questionable posts far outweighed the valuable contributions Multipaul made. Hopefully threads no longer become personal and one-dimensional in topic.

One interesting tidbit about Bargnani, at least to me, is that historically he pulls down a little over 4 defensive rebounds for every offensive rebound he pulls down.
Given this number has consistent throughout his career, what would his DRR need to be for him to pull 7, 8, or 9 rebound a game?
I will also assume he is on the court with the same teammates and use is DRR for 2010-11 (13.9) as the starting point.
--- ---- ---- ----
7.0 1.37 5.63 19.2
7.5 1.47 6.03 20.5
8.0 1.56 6.44 22.0
8.5 1.66 6.84 23.3
9.0 1.76 7.24 24.7
Given Ed Davis looks to me to be a natural rebounder and averaged 22.2 DRR for the season, I believe it's unrealistic to expect Bargnani to average 8.0 boards a game if he continues to have the same offensive to defensive rebounds ratio.
I only spent 10-15 minutes on this post so I am sure many can come with a better set of assumptions. But I think the basic questions will remain.
What should be a realistic target DRR for him?
How much is his ORR is a product of his usage?
True, but they are a little different than what I'm talking about. Those aren't gambling on players with untapped potential who need playing time to develop. Besides, we have seen how Orlando getting Arenas turned out. Artest wasn't really that much of a gamble because between Kobe and Phil Jackson, you pretty much knew they could control Artest. I don't think Robinson was really much of a gamble. It was a fairly meaningless personnel move for a bench player that never really contributed much. Robinson was simply a higher profile player because of his fame. Did anyone really think he would have much of an impact in Boston?

You see, we just need a true C to play with Bargnani...
Oh, and the answer to covering up Bargnani's rebounding is 7.5. But even that would require a huge jump for him.
What they should do if they wish to keep him and is to try and set him up with Sabonis or Divac over the summer. Let them go one on one with him working strategy and fundamentals. I picked Sabonis and Divac because they would probably be able to better relate to him. Given that they were both highly skilled on offense and are European legends. He probably grew up watching them play. If anyone can teach him how to play defense, how get rebounds and how to be tough its one of them.

The Indiana Pacers used a scorching start to take a 13-4 lead early in the first quarter before the Toronto Raptors stormed back on a 10-0 run to take the lead. While the Raptors shot 70% in the first quarter, the Pacers opening run and Toronto's opening quarter was the end of offense. Toronto found themselves on the second night of a back-to-back, coming off of a 140-133 triple OT loss, and aside from setting themselves up in the first quarter, did nothing to earn themselves the win at the hands of any capable NBA team.
Unfortunately, the Pacers were anything but capable tonight, and the Raptors were able to win the game despite only scoring five points in the final quarter on one field goal. George Hill led the 32% shooting Pacers with 18 points with Paul George and David West scoring in double figures. Tyler Hansbrough made some huge plays in his time on the floor, keeping the Pacers in the game and giving them an opportunity at a win despite the Pacers having no offense capable of winning. Jose Calderon had a 13 points, 10 rebound, 10 assist triple double.
