Enormous risk in Bobcats' hire

08:11 AM ET 06.19 | Mike Dunlap has served as an assistant at Southern California, Loyola Marymount, Denver (with the Nuggets), Oregon, Arizona St. John's. And now he's a head coach in the NBA. There are only two reasons to hire Dunlap. The first is that he came cheap. ... But this can't be about money, not now. Michael Jordan's Bobcats won seven games in 2011-12 and had the worst winning percentage in NBA history. If Dunlap is a dollar-store hire, then next season they deserve to win six. The Bobcats are a desperate franchise that desperately needs a teacher with the patience to develop and lead young talent. This is the only reason to hire Dunlap. ... But Dunlap is an enormous gamble. If they had not hired him as head coach, who would have?
This is either going to be a massive fail or a big win... There will be no in between.
Jordan's showing his fierce competitive prowess again. He's trying that much harder to get next season's #1 draft pick.
Great Risk Often Leads To Great Rewards, Bro.
Listening to sports talk radio this morning the fans seem to be split 50/50..
There is the rational fan base who realizes this wasnt an attractive job and to pay Brian Shaw (another unproven coach) $7million a year wouldnt be wise. Given the fact that this is Rich Cho's pick and not MJ, Bickerstaff, Higgins or any of the other jokers they've had running basketball ops, ppl seem to be willing to trust his judgment. I'm sure the fans in SA were asking themselves 'Who is Greg Popovich' when he got hired too....Remember no coach is great until they prove it. Phil Jackson wasnt Phil Jackson until he started winning so lets keep that in mind also
Then--you have the other side of the fan base who feel that with the colossal failures of MJ and front office (pre-Cho era) that they dont deserve the benefit of the doubt on this one...So there are good arguments to be made on both sides.
I personally feel like Shaw intentionally priced himself out of a job. Just bc he coached under Phil..what does that mean? How well have the other assistants under Phil done when given the shot? Exactly..Sure we don't know much about this guy but right now its important to have someone who truly wants the job and his track record of coaching young players should be valuable to this team. Plus if guys like Andy Katz, George Karl, Lute Olsen, Steve Lavin and those types are coming out publicly praising him he cant be that bad...we shall see
I'm sure the fans in SA were asking themselves 'Who is Greg Popovich' when he got hired too....
Except Pops was an assistant to Larry Brown in SA from 1988 to 1992, and was hired back to the Spurs in 1994 as GM, and installed himself as head coach two years later.
Spurs fans already were already familiar with him.
Jordan makes Isiah Thomas look like a good exec.
I think you're being too cruel. Jordan and his coaching pick have a great chance of winning 8 games next year...........if the breaks go their way.
I'm still hurting from MJ selecting Adam Morrison. Was there anything about Morrison that looked like he would be successful in the NBA? Spindly arms. Inability to post up. Pale. Thin and unathletic appearing. Looking at the NBA playoffs, does it appear that Morrison could compete in any way with quality NBA players? No, there is not, but MJ selected him third overall a few years ago. Why? Because MJ cannot evaluate talent. Didn't MJ also pick Kwame Brown #1 overall a few years ago, too. Yes, he did. I love you MJ, but your NBA team management skills suck.
The Bobcats are so horrible that it can't be just by accident can it?
No it can't. It takes work to suck this bad.
Oh the humanity.....................Living in NC and having to put up with the Bobkittens.............Oh wait.........I'm a Celtic fan................Nevermind.....CELTICS RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do the Celtics rule?
Jordan makes Isiah Thomas look like a good exec.
Jordan makes my dog & cat look like good executives...
Man, maybe Dunlap turns out to be outstanding, but on the face of it, this looks like MJ is so completely deluded and addled that it's frightening. Magic and Larry must shake their heads in pity.

Awesome show Friday @ The Big "A"
Great show and set list nice to see a change in songs my wife and I have seen the band 4 times this go around still buy far the best show was Pasadena...Hands down!! Boston was great as well!!! The only problem I have was last night the sound was off or something we were sitting in section 205 and lenny sounded bad (although his performance was great) so i thought maybe his equipment sucked.... Then U2 came out and the same thing, it was hard to hear Bono sing... well going back tonight with VIP Tix so hopefully sounds better tonight in these seats but over all a hell of a performance by the Boys as well as Lenny.....

Through your eyes I can see
Dear U2.com, thank you so much for allowing us to view the images of the shows with this incredible FANCAM!!! I am very excited to see this. A very dear friend (you know who you are!!!), whom I found here in this wonderful U2 community about one year ago, attended the concert in Salt Lake City. So I was also there in spirit. Now it is absolutely unbelievable and beautiful to see the face of my friend from so close here! Distance is irrelevant, it;s not linear!

I knew it was going to be a blow out when David West started the game tentative. He had a couple open shots at the start of the game and he either passed them up, or hesitated and clanged them when he finally decided to shoot them. I can not believe that he's so big, and he settles for outside shots, which is good for the spurs....so, we can live with him just settling for outside jumpers and even better when he is missing them badly (like that airball he shot in the 2nd quarter). He's the key to the game, not Peja, and Tyson being in foul trouble that has to be also the other key. I can not believe Scott let him play after he picked up his 3rd and 4th fouls at the start of the 3rd quarter. Instead of taking him out, he let Tyson pick up his 5th foul a minute later (8:30 left in the 3rd) and that was it for the hornets, no more inside defense and the spurs just took it to the paint every time after that and the 13 point lead grew to 25 in 2 or 3 minutes.
It was like deja vu to see Scott at the press conference with the same glare Pop had after game 2. The look of a heavyweight fighter that has been knocked down dizzy and that he knows he can not get up. The spurs now have all the momentum and they know they still have two chances to win in New Orleans and now that they smell blood they will go for the jugular down there tuesday night. Good luck Hornets, even I as a spurs fan do not know how you can stop us offensively....unless of course we miss everything like in games 1 and 2....
Spurs in 6
I don't really know what these two games have proven. I know they have proven that the home team really does have the advantage in the NBA playoffs. Tonight, the Spurs did nothing more than the Jazz did today or the Hawks did against the Celtics. They held home court. The word "momentum" is extremely tough to use in these playoffs. The same could be said for the Celtics as they just lost game 6 in ATL. It really doesn't matter. Momentum = Home Court. If the Spurs break home court, then it's time to worry. Until then, take a deep breath and realize what happened the past few games was supposed to happen.
Maybe we do adjust a bit by starting JUJU to cover Manu who he clearly can cover in his limited time on the court OR play Pargo, CP, West, Tyso, and Peja at once. Pual on Parker = wash. Bowen is doing well on Peja, but that will leave Pargo in a mismatch. We need to go back to either stopping a mismatch (JUJU on D) or creating one (Pargo in the starting 5).
This is truly my favorite time of year. Once again, the spurs have amazed me. I don't see them slowing any in game 5. Unlike the suns, kings, jazz, mavericks, and the lakers, the spurs needed to get a feel for this young team before adjustments were made (having never played against the hornets in the playoffs before). Now it seems we have a good feel for this up and coming new playoff worthy franchise. Pop has made the required adjustments and now its B.Scott's turn to see if he can retaliate. What a wonderful time of year it is. Good Luck Hornets and Go Spurs Go!!
Disclosure: I am a spurs fan.
I gotta tell you folks in New Orleans.... The Hornets are a team to be proud of and a team I would not be bitter about losing to. I enjoy the matchup and will be cheering for the hornets in the conference finals if they pull it off. This series has been great and there are at a minimum, two more games. I see it being decided in game 7. As a spurs fan I worry about the away games in NO. Y'all have some fans out for blood there. I don't know how poor Bruce Bowen can even focus. LOL!
Good luck and may the best team win!

Hedge fund managers may not launch UCITS hedge funds because of increased clarity from Brussels surrounding the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, according to research from consultants Cerulli Associates.
Some hedge fund managers are having second thoughts about launching so-called Newcits because the AIFMD looks less scary than it once did and the potential for UCITS looks "overblown", according to Cerulli research.
The uncertainly surrounding how draconian the European directive may be has resulted in hedge fund mangers considering UCITS as an alternative going forward.

Clayton News Daily
Southern Regional Health System recently earned a place on the Georgia Hospital Association's (GHA) Partnership for Health and Accountability (PHA) Quality Honor Roll.
According to Southern Regional officials, the hospital was one of 51 hospitals in Georgia to make the honor roll's presidential level, making it one of the higher-ranked hospitals on the list. The honor roll is based on clinical data provided by the federal Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS), which administers the nation's Medicare and Medicaid programs. The data used to determine the honor roll was collected from January 2009 to December 2009, according to officials. "This is a great accomplishment for Southern Regional," said GHA President Joseph Parker. "This recognition further underscores the commitment of the Southern Regional staff to ensuring that every patient receives the best, most effective health care possible." According to Southern Regional officials, all acute care hospitals are required to submit care data to CMS, which details how well a hospital's caregivers adhere to a list of eight Appropriate Care Measures (ACM). Those measures are the clinical processes of care known to be the most effective methods of treatment for patients who have suffered heart attacks, heart failure or pneumonia. A hospital's adherence to these recommended clinical practices usually leads to better outcomes, according to officials. "I congratulate the Southern Regional staff for their hard work in achieving this honor," said Southern Regional President and CEO Stephen W. Mahan. "Ultimately, it is their dedication that drives the excellent care available at our hospital."More like this story

Here's a rarity: a feel-good story about newspapers.
Valerie Wigglesworth was an editor at The Dallas Morning News when a reorganization landed her in a suburban bureau as a reporter. She hadn't worked as a reporter for a decade, but she was determined to succeed. As the lone breadwinner for her family of four, she had more at stake than most.
It took some time, but she steadily improved as a reporter and writer. She could write a nice feature story, and cover breaking news. Then Valerie and colleague Matthew Haag learned about Exide Technologies, owners of a lead smelter that has been operating outside Dallas since the 1960s. These days Exide — and the lead pollution it creates — are surrounded by a fresh-scrubbed suburb, Frisco, Texas, one of the fastest-growing places in the country.
Valerie and Matthew recognized a health threat that most of Valerie's fellow Frisco residents couldn't see out their car windows, and they started writing. They wrote stories about lead pollution and the health threat posed by the plant, especially to children. The city manager started returning her calls, so Valerie wrote some more. The plant's management wanted her to come take a tour. She did, then wrote some more. Groups formed. Public hearings were held. She wrote some more. She won a grant to conduct soil testing. Valerie wrote some more.

New Music: Pusha T f/ Wale – 'Only You Can Tell It'With only a day to go until his mixtape Wrath of Caine drops, Pusha T gives away one last song via Billboard. G.O.O.D. Music's street orator joins forces with Maybach Music's Wale on the Boogz Da Beast-produced "Only You Can Tell It." The DMV rappers trade rhymes about the rap game over a sped-up sample. "It's really good because we're both from the DMV area," Pusha told Miss Info of collaborating with Wale. "He's known for his poetry and him just getting real deep, so me and him just collaborated on a record. It's just like, it's near and dear to me cause he's from the area."

Biotechnology and Longevity
Oprah.com | August 17, 2008
How long would you want to live, if you could choose? According to inventor Ray Kurzweil, the ability to determine your lifespan is within reach. Dr. Oz talks with Ray about his book
The Singularity Is Near
and his belief that technology will conquer disease, create new resources and lead to a new way of thinking about longevity.
Technology is changing so rapidly that humans won't be able to keep up unless we merge with the technology we're creating, Ray says. People are already living with machines in their bodies, he explains, citing computers implanted in the brains of Parkinson's disease patients as an example. Using technology that matches biology in intricacy, like experiments involving blood cell-sized computers in animals, allows us to go beyond the limitations of biology in terms of longevity, Ray says.
Health and medicine have become information technologies, making them subject to what Ray calls the law of accelerating returns, or the doubling in power of these technologies every year. The rapid increase of knowledge will lead to an understanding of how major killers like heart disease, diabetes and cancer work, as well as the development of tools to prevent and cure them.
Although more people will be living longer, Ray says the same technologies that extend lives will create more resources to support the population. "We receive 10,000 times more sunlight than we need to fill 100 percent of our need," he says. He believes that full-scale nanotechnology, which should be functioning within about 20 years, will be able to fulfill all the material needs of an expanded biological population.
If Ray's theories are correct, it won't be long before lifespans begin to lengthen. "According to my models, we'll be adding more than a year every year to your remaining life expectancy within 15 years from now," he says. "It's not a guarantee of immortality, but it will change the metaphor to the sands of time running in, rather than out."

XM RADIO hires BRAIN-LESS workers ABROAD who constantly make mistakes...and throw you on hold or hang-up on you...when you become completely irritated with them...because they do NOT know what they are doing. HOWEVER, you must talk to them IF you want XM Service (which is great). I have had to call customer service OVER AND OVER AGAIN and hold for long periods of time (close to an hour EVERY TIME)...because the customer service reps do NOT know what they are doing. Every single time I call, they say that I owe money...when, in fact, I SHOULD have several months credit. Every customer service representative has a completely different story about what the current status of my account is. IT IS LIKE A BAD JOKE (ONLY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SUCH NONSENSE WITH NITWITS)!!
COME ON, XM RADIO, don't leave us to have to deal with this inefficient outsourced customer service. IT IS NOT FAIR!!!!
Please let me talk to someone in the United States who comprehends what I am talking about!!!!!

I purchased a new skydock in June. I called XM and was given a special of $16 for 3 months and then I would get billed $16 each month after that. The agent said the system would generate bills but to ignore them because my account was noted for this special. That day my cc was charged. I thought all was fine and dandy. NOT! Apparently they began to debit my cc but never finished. I never noticed this until I received a cancellation threat. When I contacted XM they said I owed $38 a month. That they don't have my payment. I told them that's impossible. You can't even activate or get service without paying. They said to fax a copy of my statement but after calling my bank they said they can see a debit but it's ghost now. It's gone and they can't get all the details on it. Now the bank charge is gone and I don't have proof of the original price quote and charge. BEWARE and make sure you print everything and ask for agreement in writing. THIS COMPANY IS SCAMMING PEOPLE. I originally got this because of Howard Stern. I hope he leaves this year and goes somewhere ethical. This is ridiculous!

This company practices unethical, fraudulent billing practices, extortion. They billed me when I did not want the service and sent me to collections. When I called the company, customer service dept. they were extremely rude, located in a different country and could care less about my issues. I wish I had known about all the complaints written....I would have never used them. Also, these free subscriptions with new automobiles should be discontinued.

I have 4 cars with XM Service. I recently sold a car and called to cancel the radio in it. I called 4 times to the 1-800 number and I was on hold for 20 minutes the first time and never talked to a representative The other times I called I waited up to 28 minutes and I still have not talked to anyone.
I then wrote 3 emails and received one response that they would call me SOON. SOON has not got here yet ( 3 days later ). If I finally get it touch I will cancel all radios.
This is the worse customer service I have ever seen!!!

I really enjoy listening to XM but have had so many problems with their customer service. I canceled long ago but they continue to bill me, trying to get them to cancel the account is impossible, and I can't stand the out sourcing to India. It is nearly impossible to get someone to understand me and the representatives are impolite to the point that I canceled my subscription as a matter of principle. Also, even though I had canceled my subscription, I got phone calls about 5-6 x per day at least, including Sundays from India, harassing me to pay the money I didn't owe. Then they sent my account to a "collections agency" also in India.
I have had countless problems with XM. In fact I hate XM and will tell everyone I know not to get it!

Sometimes, though, even when people are really trying to feel better, they may need some extra help recovering from a break-up. Talking to a counselor or other mental health professional can help them sort through their feelings and begin to feel better.

SoundSeen: Dramatic Play + the Developing Brain
by Nancy Rosenbaum, associate producer
For this week's show "Learning, Doing, Being: A New Science of Education," Krista interviewed neuroscientist Adele Diamond, who studies how social dramatic play can build "executive function" (EF) skills in children's brains. As Diamond explains it, EF is a container term for capacities like inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. These are skills that are lodged in the brain's prefrontal cortex, which Diamond calls "the new kid on the block" because it's the part of the human brain to develop most recently through evolution. As we grow from babies into young adults, the prefrontal cortex is the last brain area to mature. When we age, it is the first to falter.
While producing this show, we learned that Diamond serves as an advisor for a nearby charter school that incorporates some elements of social dramatic play into its curriculum. We visited the school a few weeks ago and one result is this narrated slideshow pairing Adele Diamond's explanation of the nuts and bolts of EF with 5th and 6th graders demonstrating some of the principles she describes through improvisational theater games.
If you have the chance, check out Krista's full interview with Adele Diamond or listen for more of this ambient audio in the produced show. I don't know what brain area is responsible for creating an audio slideshow but mine certainly got a workout putting this together.
And, a special thanks to the teachers and students at Quest Academy for their participation in this project.

I have a question concerning IHC. After I simultaneously block and permeabilize my samples with 1% BSA and 0.3% Trit-X-100 prior to antibody incubation, should I wash the samples several times before primary antibody incubation? I have read somewhere that Trit-X as a detergent can change the final level of antibodies binding to epitopes. Do you guys happen to know what is the best course of action after blocking+permeabilizing? Thanks.
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

It's no surprise to find U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., helping lead House GOP hard-liners' charge to take down President Barack Obama's health care law.
Bucking the political establishment is nothing new for the 43-year-old tea party favorite from Ranger, near Calhoun, Ga., who still bears scars from his time in Georgia's Republican-controlled state House.
But with a potential federal government shutdown looming Tuesday if Congress can't compromise on a temporary funding resolution, many question whether the tea party-backed charge will take the nation's economy and fellow Republicans over a cliff.
On Friday, the Democratic-led Senate voted 54-44 along partisan lines to strip language from the House temporary spending measure that would defund Obamacare.
The provision originated in the House with Graves.
Senate Republicans all voted against stripping the Obamacare defunding provision on Friday, including fellow Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson.
But earlier this week, Isakson, speaking on a procedural issue, said while he opposes Obama's signature accomplishment as much as anyone, "I will not vote to shut government down."
In Tennessee, Republican Sen. Bob Corker said he too opposes Obamacare but derided the House GOP plan as "silly" given Democrats' control of the Senate and Obama's threatened veto of any defunding measure.
The temporary funding resolution now goes back to the GOP-led House. The chances of a weekend compromise are uncertain.
"We've provided a solution to keep the government open and heed the concerns of our constituents to protect them from the harmful effects" of the Affordable Care Act, Graves said in an interview Friday.
"There are many different options and a lot of different strategies and ideas out there," he said. "I think what you'll see is one that reaches good consensus in the House ... and gives the Senate another opportunity to do the right thing for their constituents."
That would be defunding Obamacare, which Senate Democrats refuse to do.
Graves dismissed questions about what happens should the House and Senate hold firm.
"That's a hypothetical that you only know when you get there, so we're going to do one step at a time," he said.
Some say Graves exemplifies the tea party Republicans whose arrival has shaken up Washington.
Graves beat many of them to the U.S. Capitol by winning a special election in June 2010 to represent what is now Georgia's 14th Congressional District. The district borders the Tennessee line.
During his seven years in the Georgia Legislature, Graves developed a reputation for hard work and firm conservative positions.
Kerwin Swint, a political science professor at Kennesaw State University, said Graves proved a popular "firebrand."
But Graves sacrificed a promising state House leadership role by defying the speaker in a dispute over the political appointment of a regional transportation official.
The speaker bounced him out of a subcommittee chairmanship as well as a position where he was allowed to vote the speaker's wishes on any House committee.
In 2009, then-Gov. Sonny Perdue, a fellow Republican, vetoed Graves' sweeping tax cut legislation, which Graves said was his response to Obama's stimulus package. Graves argued that it would put recession-ravaged Georgians back to work. Critics said it would blow a hole in the state budget before its effects could be felt.
Once in Congress, Graves was named to the powerful House Appropriations Committee and quickly found common ground with fellow hardliners. Those GOP rebels have been pressuring House Speaker John Boehner to stand with them in a high-risk ploy to defund Obamacare.
Until recently, most of the attention in Washington's political "mediaverse" has been dominated by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who staged a 21-hour talkathon on the Senate floor to protest funding of the Affordable Care Act.
But Graves, a former real estate developer, is getting his moments. He made his maiden appearance on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. The Washington Post quotes him. Conservative groups laud him and the efforts to defund Obamacare.
"I think he's increasingly being looked at as a leader within the [House GOP] conference," said Michael Needham, CEO of Heritage Action. That's the Washington, D.C.-based political arm of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank pushing defunding.
He "understands the actual budget process, the appropriations process, as well as anybody," Needham said of Graves. "I think he's right in the middle of the fight."
But Graves' high-profile role is drawing heat from Obama supporters. Members of the liberal group Organizing for America protested outside his Dalton congressional office this week.
"You, as a representative of the people, have been elected to serve the people. And they are not pleased with you, Mr. Graves," charged Dan Lovingood, who joined other OFA members. "Your economic terrorism and hostage-taking is not going to work anymore."
Yet the defunding effort has its defenders.
Heritage Action's Needham defended the House GOP and other supporters of defunding the health law, saying "that'd be a shame" if it leads to a partial government shutdown. The House "fully funds" all the other operations of the federal government, just not Obamacare, he said.
U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais said in hi 4th Congressional District, "people appear to be resoundingly" in favor of pushing defunding.
"I think a lot of America does have the stomach for a government shutdown" if it comes to that, DesJarlais said.
Georgia state Rep. Tom Dickson, R-Cohutta, worked with Graves in the state Legislature and isn't surprised by his role in Washington today.
Dickson describes Graves as "a good guy" and "very focused."
"He was all business. He was a hard worker. He studied the bills and he was involved. He was the kind of legislator that when he voted on a bill you knew he formed an opinion based on that" and not just from what lobbyists or others were telling him.
Dickson said Graves is a lawmaker who's "going to stand on his principles."
Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia, called Graves a "very ideological" state legislator who demonstrated "he was quite willing to buck the leadership."
"He's also done that in Congress," Bullock said. "For those kind of folks, they're as willing to do battle with their own leadership as Democrats and as a result wind up tilting at windmills."
Graves has "huge support within his constituency," Bullock said, allowing him to "thumb his nose" at leaders. But, Bullock cautioned, "it makes it much harder to govern the United States when you have a lot of people like that."
David Wasserman, with the Cook Political Report, a Washington-based nonpartisan newsletter that monitors politics, called Graves "kind of the poster child for Republicans who've emerged in overwhelmingly safe seats since 2010."
"He won by being the most conservative guy around who still came across as a stable individual on the campaign trail," Wasserman said. "It's no surprise that he's drawn a very hard line on matters like the debt ceiling and has led the battle against leadership."
But he cited the mid-1990s, when the public blamed congressional Republicans after a partial shutdown prompted by a budget clash with Democratic President Bill Clinton.
If there's another shutdown, he said, Republicans "will likely garner most of the blame because the Republicans are holding a typically routine measure hostage to their own ideology."
Democrats are united while the GOP is "factionalized," Wasserman added. "When a party is factionalized, it typically doesn't end well."
In the meantime, much of the national business community has urged federal lawmakers to find a compromise on the temporary funding resolution as well as an upcoming vote to raise the federal debt limit.
Asked about the possibility of blowback on the Republican Party if a shutdown occurs, Graves said:
"I guess that's always the risk for anyone. But that shouldn't deter us from doing the right thing."
