"I'm primarily a PC gamer," Gilbert replied when I asked him about The Cave's PC functionality. "I boot up my Xbox once a month. Mostly I play PC games."
"To me, making sure that PC game felt really good and natural to play with the mouse – and not just, like, a bad console port to PC – was personally very, very important. So yeah, I want to do as much as humanly possible with the mouse and all that. On the PC version, you'll just be able to click with your mouse. Characters will walk to wherever you click. Switching characters with the keyboard by just hitting the number keys [is also an option]. So there's some streamlining like that that happens with the PC version."
"I don't particularly enjoy platformers," he admitted. "I'm not a platformer player. I get really frustrated when I'm missing jumps and I just want to go somewhere. I know what I want to do, [but I can't do it]. Adding that thin layer of platforming was about making that movement more fun. Giving the players something to do while they're thinking around things and solving puzzles. They can still be jumping around the screen or swinging from ropes. But I didn't want it to become this full-blown puzzle platformer. I didn't want that to distract from it being an adventure game and what adventure games are all about."

DALLAS — Work is now moving forward to rebuild the home of Vernon Freeman.
For months, the 85-year-old would sit outside his burned-out residence. He had no insurance, but didn't want to leave.
After Freeman's story appeared on News 8 in September, volunteers and companies have been stepping up, working on the weekends to rebuild his Dallas home.
"I don't care if we have to go have a bake sale on the street, we're going to keep raising money and we're going to get it done," pledged Wendy Hayes, organizer of this relief effort.
There's still a lot left to do. Donations are coming in, but volunteers said it will take several more months of work before Freeman's home is finished.
"I'm thankful," Freeman said. "I'm glad they help... more than glad. I don't know how to get there to more than glad."

Deleting a Post
I have two posts in the "Kub Klipper bracket" thread of the Farmall Cub forum. I want to delete the first and shorter one. When I hit edit on the two posts, I have the option of delete on the second post (which I wish to keep) but do not have that option on the first one. How do I delete the first post? Thanks, Dan
Re: Deleting a Post
Dan, I'm not sure why both posts come up at the same time, but... can you highlight the first and hit delete? Or click the cursor at the end of the first one and backspace it off?
"We don't need to think more,
we need to think differently."
-Albert Einstein
Re: Deleting a Post
Dan, go to the second post and copy the contents. Then delete that post. Then go to the first post and click edit to paste what you copied and submit. The delete function only works for the last post. once there is a response the previous post can not be deleted.
If you delete the second one before you edit the first then the first will not show up as an edited post.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Aaron D. Miller, 24, pled not guilty on Feb. 28 to various charges stemming from his apparent three holdups of the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Deer Park this winter.
Miller, who is being held on $100,000 bond, faces first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and attempted second-degree robbery charges.
Spokane County Sheriff's Detectives believe Miller was the gunman who robbed the store of oxycodone on Dec. 5 after displaying a gun and placing a note on the counter demanding drugs.
Miller fled the scene on foot.
Police believe Miller robbed the pharmacy again on Dec. 30 with a note claiming he had a gun and demanding drugs. An employee chased Miller after the robbery attempt but lost him at a mobile home park on south Main Street.
Miller returned to the Medicine Shoppe on Feb. 21 seeking more drugs. He fled the scene to a home at south Fir Avenue. A resident at the house called police after Miller explained to him why he was covered with pepper spray, according to court documents.
After his arrest, Miller reportedly confessed to sheriff's deputies that he'd robbed the pharmacy twice before.

A Conversation Between John Mackey, Co-Author and Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Whole Foods Market, and Raj Sisodia, Co-Author and Co-Founder & Chairman of The Conscious Capitalism Institute.
What is "Conscious Capitalism"?
Conscious Capitalism is a philosophy of doing business that suggests that business has a higher purpose beyond profits and that creating value for all stakeholders is the best way to create value for investors. Such businesses are led by highly conscious individuals who are passionate about the company's purpose and are driven to serve. These businesses foster cultures that are based on trust, transparency and caring.
What's wrong with capitalism and business today that we can change?
The two things that need changing are the narrative about capitalism and business in our culture, and the fact that most business people operate with a low level of consciousness about the true purpose and potential of business to create multifaceted value in the world. The existing narrative is that business and capitalism are based on selfishness and greed, but that works in the overall public interest because of the so-called "invisible hand" of the market. This narrative fails to capture the true value of free enterprise capitalism: that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity.
Does business deserve its bad rap?
We don't think so. A few egregious examples of bad corporate conduct have created a broad negative perception about business that is simply not accurate. The vast majority of businesses are ethical and well-meaning. However, business people hurt themselves and their businesses when they adhere to a narrative that proclaims that the sole purpose of the business is to make profits for shareholders. This breeds resentment and envy. The real purpose of business is to create value for all stakeholders and thereby improve the lot of humanity.
In what ways can we do business differently to create a win-win for all instead of winning for a few at the expense of others?
If you look for trade-offs, you will always find them – that is guaranteed. But if you look for win-win synergies, more often than not you will find those too. Human creativity is essentially unlimited, especially when it is motivated by a deeper purpose than just self-interest. Conscious businesses are able to look at every decision through this lens and craft win-win solutions for their stakeholders.
Attend the author event to learn more about how customers, not just business leaders, participate in conscious capitalism; the difference between conscious capitalism and corporate social responsibility; a conscious approach to leadership; embracing a conscious culture while maintaining profitability and other topics.

Member Map module for SE4
Add a variety of member maps to your site, including searchable member maps, profile maps, friends maps, and more!
Where are your members located? I'll be you (and more importantly, your members) want to know!
Member Map provides easy-to-use, flexible member mapping capability so your members can visualize where everyone else is located! Ties a Google Map to member searches and more.
Maps Types
Member Map provides five types of maps:
Search Map
Provide your members the ability to filter using profile fields, and show the results on the map!
Who's Online Map
Plot all online users on a map, a unique way to illustrate community interaction.
Level Map
Limit which members are mapped, based on user levels. This is handy if you don't want to include certain levels, like admins, in the map.
Friends Map
Create a map showing a member's friends
Profile Map
Place a map that shows a member's location on his/her profile.
What Makes Member Map Different
Member Map is thoughtfully designed from the ground up with the following important considerations:
Each member's geo coordinates are stored locally, dramatically increasing performance of the module.
Maintain Control
Fine-grained controls over:
- which profile fields are used to plot map pins
- the number of members to show on a single map before pagination occurs
- member privacy, by controlling whether pins are placed on the city or actual address
- map pin markers, including support for custom pin uploads, use profile thumbnail images, and Google's default marker pin
- which profile fields to show on map balloon
- which member levels can view Member Maps
- the style of Google Map to use (Standard, Terrain, or Satellite)*
- the height of maps
Layout Manager Enabled
Place maps on any page in Layout Manager. Support for tabs, and control over individual map height.
Easy to Theme
Member Map has its own CSS file, easily modified to fit your theme. Additionally, map width is sized automatically to the width of the column in which it's placed.
Easy to Use
Member Map has a single configuration page for admin. It's simple to get started. Just create address fields in you main profile type for your members, then choose them in Member Map's Global Settings, and presto, your members are mapped! Note: At this time, only one profile type is supported.

NEW YORK — The nose gear of a Southwest Airlines jetliner collapsed as the plane landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Monday afternoon. The city's Port Authority says 11 people were hurt.
"I was in the D terminal, and I saw the plane come in, and from what I heard other people say -- I didn't see the landing gear come down and the wheels come off, but someone else said they saw the wheels come off," said witness Bobby Abtahi.
The flight from Nashville, Tennessee was carrying 150 people. Of the 11 people injured, five were crew members and six were passengers.
After reviewing air controller tapes, the FAA said there were no issues with the nose gear noted before the rough landing.

After languishing in the 20's or worse for the better part of two years now might the Panthers finally rise to the ranks of the mediocre?
NFL power rankings, Week 5: Saints go marchin' up - SBNation.com
20. Carolina Panthers If you were waiting for Ron Rivera to get fired this weekend, I hope you used that time to make a nice thank-you gift for Tom Coughlin and the Giants.
Thank you and the Giants! I think... I know, rankings mean nothing at this point but I still feel the need to see how the rest of my SBN brethren view our team and season.
Around the NFC Soth the Saints are up to #3 after rolling the Dolphins last night. I have to admit their defense is playing better and it may not be a mirage after all. Still, let's see them play an established offense first, which they have not. Hopefully the Bears will put up a better fight this week than they did last week against the Lions.
Over in the ATL though it is getting ugly:
16. Atlanta Falcons Those red zone statistics are ugly (1-for-6 against the Patriots). Something has to change, and fast, if Mike Smith's going get this team to the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year.
People are finally realizing this is a very flawed team and it starts with both lines. The offensive tackles are the worst tandem in football and the defense struggles against the run. That is not a good combo so the Falcons might be falling to earth after three high flying seasons. Fewer people are expecting them to turn it around. I expect the tumble to continue.
And then there is the Bucs, who have held on tight to that #31 slot:
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers When in doubt, crash the other team's victory formation, take the ball and go home. It's only slightly more looney than leaning on your rookie quarterback to preserve a double-digit lead. In some dystopian future, Greg Schiano will be a great coach.
There is not much else to say here except has the 'Countdown to Clowney' started in Tampa Bay? I mean, they have their QB of the future in Mike Glennon. Boy I hope Clowney doesn't end up in Tampa but it is out of our hands.

MARYSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co.'s shares fell Thursday after the lawn and garden products maker reported a smaller loss on flat revenue in its fourth fiscal quarter which spanned the U.S. summer months.
The Ohio-based company has been struggling with an extended run of weaker sales, higher costs and legal issues.
CEO Jim Hagedorn said that while the latest results did not meet the company's expectations, it gained market share in all its categories. He said he is confident the company is making progress on its financial rebuilding and Scotts aims to return its business to the earnings levels it saw two years ago.
Scotts said that it has a number of plans in place to improve its financial performance but won't announce those initiatives until December at an analyst meeting.
Its shares dropped more than 3 percent in afternoon trading.
The company reported a loss of $40.1 million, or 66 cents per share, for the period that ended Sept. 30. That's compared with a loss of $53.4 million, or 86 cents per share, in the prior year. Its adjusted loss from continuing operations was 59 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected an adjusted loss of 57 cents per share.
Revenue slipped to $401.2 million from $403.1 million. Analysts expected revenue of $412.4 million.
The company has struggled with weak demand and higher commodity, shipping and administrative costs. Its problems worsened in September when federal authorities said the company would pay $12.5 million in criminal and civil penalties for violating pesticide laws.
Scotts pleaded guilty to applying toxic insecticide to its wild bird food products and falsifying pesticide registrations. It also pleaded guilty to distributing pesticides with misleading and unapproved labels and distributing unregistered pesticides. It has since made changes to improve its regulatory compliance.
Its shares fell $1.51, or 3.4 percent, to $42.55 in afternoon trading. Its shares were on a steady upward trend for several years until they peaked in the spring of 2011 and are down roughly 25 percent since then.

Boston shopping Pierce, but not just looking to offload him. Asking for expiring contracts and draft picks. Move unlikely at that price— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) February 21, 2013
This news coupled with the renewed talks between the Clippers and Celtics for KG makes sense. Pierce and Garnett's fate were always tied together; one of KG's stipulations to waive his no trade clause was that Pierce would have to be dealt, too. There's no way one would leave the other in Boston for a re-build.

I just got back from California's largest tractor show. The theme this year was "IMPLEMENTS OF THE PAST" The buttons they passed out showed an F-12 pulling a two bottom plow. The T-shirts were supposed to be the same but the Gal that made them misunderstood. The logo on the shirts turned out to be a F-12 and a HOLSTEIN COW! I bet they sold more of those than if she got it right. We bought two!
Always try the easiest thing first.

Checking in for a flight online a day in advance seems like a great way to increase the convenience of traveling, but it didn't work out that way for me. Instead of standing in a long line inside, I stood in an only slightly shorter line outside in the weather and was expected to tip for the privilege. Assuming this result was unintentional, it may provide a lesson about the potential unintended consequences of technology enabled self-service.
My difficulty arose from having a bag to check, which effectively nullified the advantage of checking my person in ahead of time. There was no kiosk to let me simply drop of my bag — as there is for passengers checking in on site without luggage — so I had to either get in a long line inside or a potentially shorter line outside. I took my chances outside but the experience compared very unfavorably with previous use of the curbside option. What changed? I suspect that more people are choosing the online check in option, arrive at the airport already checked in and just have a back to check.
If that's the case, then perhaps the airline could solve the problem by providing a further self-service option using existing kiosks to let checked in passengers drop off bags without a long wait. Whatever the solution might be, the experience shows that self-service options can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, and so any attempted improvement should be subject to some testing of how the new efficiency works out within the larger customer experience.
Jennifer Wilson, Interactive Intelligence
As Jennifer Wilson, solutions marketing manager for Interactive Intelligence, recently wrote in a contribution to I&T's blog, self-service capabilities are a must, but insurers need to be careful not to "force feed" their policyholders and see their self-service offerings as options within an agreeable overall customer experience:
Make certain to implement and employ all the right options. When you find the right balance and blend communication and service channel options seamlessly, customers will be better served and your company will be better off. At the end of the day, put the options in place, and let your customers decide when and how to use them.

Inbox: What's key to early success?
Beat reporter Jim Street answers Mariners fans' questions
Welcome to the first edition of the Inbox, formerly known as the Mailbag. We're here to answer your questions regarding the Mariners, so fire up your computer and send them in. Our mission is to answer as many as we can on a weekly, or twice-a-month, basis. Please remember to include your name and the city you live in.What is your opinion on why the Mariners are off to a better start this season than last season?
-- Barry M., Enumclaw, Wash. It starts with the overall team attitude. There is a unity inside the clubhouse that was not there in 2008 and veterans like Adrian Beltre, Mike Sweeney, Ken Griffey Jr., and Jarrod Washburn have been instrumental in getting everyone being on the same page and playing as a team, not as individuals. The addition of center fielder Franklin Gutierrez and left fielder Endy Chavez has made the team more athletic, on the bases and in the field. I would not be making an error by saying the outfield alignment of Chavez in left, Gutierrez in center and Ichiro Suzuki in right is as good as any team in the American League, if not in the National League as well. This team is built around pitching and defense and as soon as it warms up, I would expect the offense to come around. I understand that Phillippe Aumont has been moved to the bullpen at Class A High Desert. I was expecting to see a dynamite starter in another couple of years, not another conversion experiment. What's going on?
-- Sam T., Seattle Aumont pitched in relief for Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic and did a good job in that role. As a reliever in the Minors, he will not throw nearly as many pitches as he would as a starter and he could reach the Majors much sooner as a reliever. That being said, as he gets older and stronger, there is nothing that says the Mariners could not convert him back to being a starter. Ryan Rowland-Smith, for example, came up as a reliever and did well as a starter at the end of last season.
Have a question about the Mariners?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Mariners beat reporter Greg Johns for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
Is it too early to get concerned about Ken Griffey Jr.? I mean, he's batting around .200 with one RBI two weeks into the season.
-- Brad M., Bellingham, Wash.
-- Susumu, F., Tokyo It is difficult to equate hits from two countries and all Major League records are just that -- numbers accumulated when a player is in the North American big leagues. If Pete Rose came out of retirement, signed with a Japanese team and got a hit -- would that be a huge deal in Japan? I doubt it. What Ichiro has done, such as eight consecutive seasons with 200 or more hits, is a big deal throughout the world of baseball, but getting his 3,086th professional hit was a much bigger story in Japan than it was here. Rays manager Joe Maddon said Jarrod Washburn "re-invented himself." What did he mean by that?
-- Carl N., Des Moines, Iowa Washburn and Maddon spent several years together with the Angels and the pitching repertoire Washburn has this season is much different than in the past. He has added a sinker and also has had better command of his slider, which befuddled the Rays' left-handed hitters, who went a combined 0-for-10 with six strikeouts against him on Tuesday night.

Lewisham Deptford seat - all women Labour shortlist to be announced
Updated 4:52pm Tuesday 26th February 2013 in Lewisham By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A WOMAN will definitely be the next MP for Lewisham Deptford if Labour retains the seat at the next election.
Following the news that Joan Ruddock is standing down, her party has announced that the candidate shortlist for her seat will be all-female.
Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, who announced plans for four other all-woman lists for London seats, said: "Equality is not just an important principle - a balanced team works better in practice.
"Women MPs speak up for women, championing issues in Parliament like domestic violence, equal pay and childcare."
Among those people expected to feature on the shortlist are Councillor Vicky Foxcroft from Brockley ward and Councillor Janet Daby who currently represents Whitefoot.
Florence Nosegbe, a councillor in neighbouring Lambeth who represents Brixton Hill, is also expected to enter the contest.

A principal ingredient in Toyota's success has been the job of the chief engineer, or shusa. Unlike a chief engineer at GM or Ford, whose role is essentially coordination, the Toyota shusa has complete responsibility for a vehicle, beginning with its conception and sometimes lasting through its entire sales life. Besides engineering decisions, the shusa is responsible for a program's business success. He defines a vehicle's intended market and is responsible for hitting targets of cost, weight, performance, and quality.

This weekend it's time to fall back with our clocks and get an extra hour of sleep! We all love that right? But getting your body's rhythm back on track can spell trouble when it comes to our health.
The end of daylight saving also means a disruption to your sleep patterns and that is bad for your health, according to Dr. Jay Balachandran at the University of Chicago's Sleep Fellowship Program.
"Even subtle changes in how we sleep to the effect that they result in a little bit of sleep loss can have important effects on our health," Dr. Balachandran explains.
In fact, an extra hour of sleep is not always an extra hour.
"We actually now know, that on average, people sleep about 30-40 minutes less each night after the shift for almost a week out," he continues.
Last year, two separate studies by the American Journal of Cardiology and the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that shifting the clock by one hour can increase the chance of a heart attack.
"There does seem to be a very slightly increased risk of things like heart attacks in the first day or two after daylight savings change," says Dr. Balachandran.
Dr. Balachandran says these health issues seem to arise because daylight saving time changes the body's circadian rhythm or the body's internal clock.
And for some people the time change can trigger migraines or cluster headaches which are painful headaches in one side of the head.
Poor sleep can also lead to obesity, diabetes, and a weakened immune system.
So, for people like Donna McCullough who take at least a week to adjust to the new time, the doctor has this advice:
"Giving themselves about a week ahead of the time change to advance their bed time about 10-15 minutes each day and wake up 10-15 minutes each day earlier."

Which of your picks do you feel strongest about and why?
Hub Arkush: The Patriots are due to explode on someone and have handled the London experience well in the past. The Rams are in over their heads here.
Keith Schleiden: One of the NFL's most inept offenses against the NFL's best defense? That's what we've got going on Monday night. Naturally, I'm banking on the Niners.
Mike Holbrook: The Giants already lost to Dallas and are due for a series split. New York's pass rush will force some turnovers and the Giants will escape with a narrow victory.
Dan Arkush: I can't see the Jags having a prayer at Lambeau in their second straight road game, but this game might not even be on the board if MJD and Gabbert are out.
Eric Edholm: I typically love big underdogs; I'll hammer 'em all day. Not this time: The Packers will stomp out the shorthanded Jaguars early and run it up after two big road wins.
Mike Wilkening: Mark me down for the Pats at this price. I respect what the Rams have done but believe they are up against it facing a New England team with room to improve.
Dan Parr: The Jaguars were one of the worst teams in the league with MJD, and they're even weaker without him. Green Bay keeps on rolling in a blowout.
Kevin Fishbain: The Bears' defense is a bad matchup for a reeling Panthers team that can't find its offensive identity. Chicago should be able to open up the passing game, too.
Arthur Arkush: It's going to be open season on John Skelton, who, standing behind the worst line in football, doesn't stand a chance against the 49ers' front.

New fern species named after Lady Gaga
Gaga germanotta and Gaga monstraparva. Those are just a few of the fern species scientists at Duke University have named after pop singer Lady Gaga.
Scientists chose Lady Gaga because of her defense of equality and individual expression, which is similar to the ferns that can grow into plants as male, female or bisexual.

FGCU Picks Up Pair of Wins at USF The Game Tournament
CLEARWATER, Fla. - The FGCU softball team picked up two wins on the first day of the USF The Game Tournament defeating Winthrop, 4-2, before shutting out Dartmouth, 6-0, in the later game at the Eddie C. Moore Complex on Friday.
With the pair of wins, FGCU improves to 15-16 on the season. The Eagles continue play at the tournament against No. 18 Oklahoma State at 12:30 p.m. and Quinnipiac at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
FGCU did not waste any time as it scored two runs in the first inning off two hits. Senior Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast) reached on a walk and advanced on freshman Brittney Garabedian's (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) single. A sacrifice bunt moved both runners before they scored on freshman Jessica Barnes' (Winter Haven, Fla./Haines City) single to second base.
The Eagles tacked on another run in the third when redshirt sophomore Lindsey Green (Bowling Green, Ky./Greenwood) hit a double to centerfield to plate freshman Emily Lanier (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony), who reached on a single, for the 3-0 lead.
In the sixth, a Platt single scored pinch runner sophomore Chelsea Yates (Boynton Beach, Fla./Park Vista) from third for a 4-0 lead. Running for Green, who reached on a walk, Yates advanced on a single and ground out.
Senior Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) (6-8) held Winthrop to just two hits over the first six innings before giving up two runs on two hits and an error in the seventh inning. McDaniel earned the win, surrendering five hits and one walk, while striking out three.
Besides the six runs from the offense, game two was controlled by senior pitcher Kelci Breaux (Okeechobee, Fla./Brevard CC) (4-4) who fanned a career-high 14 batters. Breaux surrendered five hits and no walks en route to her second consecutive shutout to extend her winning streak to three.
The Eagles put up five runs on the board in the second on four hits. Freshman Emily Lanier (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony) reached second on a Dartmouth miscue and redshirt sophomore Kayla Gabel (Lakeland, Fla./State College of Florida) earned a walk to put runners on first and second. Freshman Regan Knapik (Land O'Lakes, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch) then sent a single to centerfield to score Lanier and move Gabel to second. Platt came up with an RBI-double to left center to plate Gabel.
With runners on second and third, Garabedian loaded the bases on a walk before sophomore Mariah Fernández' (Cape Coral, Fla./North Fort Myers) two-RBI single to left field. Green closed out the four hit inning with a single of her own up the middle to score Garabedian. The Eagles tried to score Fernández on Green's hit, but she was thrown out at the plate to end the inning, 5-0.
Dartmouth threatened in both the second and third with a runner at third, but each time Breaux was able to get out of the jam, striking out the final batters.
FGCU added one more run in the fifth off Barnes' single to shortstop. She scored freshman Tori Williams (Dunnellon, Fla./Dunnellon), who pinch ran for Green at second. Green sent a double to right center for her second hit of the night to reach base. With a runner on, Dartmouth was able to stop the score at 6-0 as it got the final two outs of inning on a caught stealing and ground out.
Evan Gray earned the loss for the Big Green, giving up seven hits and five walks, while fanning three in four innings. Morgan Wharton came in relief giving up just one hit and no walks in two innings.
Platt and Green were both 3-for-5 on the day with two RBI each, while four other Eagles tallied multi-hit nights. Barnes went 3-for-7 with a team-high three RBI.

San Ramon May Boost Fines and Fees
Original post made by jrm on Apr 27, 2010
on Apr 27, 2010 at 8:51 am

Plus, I would appreciate any information as to how these proposed increases compare to the current Danville PD fine schedule.
on Apr 27, 2010 at 9:36 am
I am sure you would not think a $50 fine for parking in a fire lane was "onerous" if your house was on fire and an illegally parked vehicle prevented the fire department from saving lives.
on Apr 27, 2010 at 10:48 pm
As usual amerikan misses the point, very few of us live in a house with a no parking fire zone marked in front of our lots, the issue is the city can arbitrarily raise fees without much public resistance, not that a fire zone infringement fine is too expensive. It is of interest that some cities that partnered with the "red light camera" companies over the last few years (San Ramon included) are now getting a substantial push back from the citizens since the accumulated data is showing the majority of tickets are for "California Stop" violations costing $375.00 and the resultant auto insurance premium increases downstream for the offenders exceed that total over a 5 year period. Moreover there is no evidence of reduced collisions which the camera companies hypothesized would result after their installation. I know amerikan is all for a police state in the end but this runaway parking fee bonanza (A la Walnut Creek) should be curtailed at some point. I know he could care less about sports field fees but they seem to be raising those aggresively when all the rest of the evidence indicates we are getting more obese and access to these facilties should be made even more available. What the heck, Chevron, among the world's biggest conglomeration of wealth has their corporate office in San Ramon, why must the city stick to the soccer, kids football, and little league participants?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are on the brink of elimination. Their offense has stagnated, and while Kevin Durant has been brilliant through the playoffs, his team has not provided the secondary punch the Thunder need to contend. Compounding the problem, the Thunder have made too many mistakes defensively. The hiccup in Oklahoma City's offense has exposed underlying issues in their defense.
The Thunder lost any margin for error they had when Russell Westbrook was injured. An offense that averaged 110.2 points per 100 possessions in the regular season has been whittled down to 103.8 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs. In this series, that number is all the way down to 95.6 points per 100 possessions. The Thunder's defense needs to be airtight to compensate, and it hasn't been. The Grizzlies' offense has been more effective than Oklahoma City's, averaging 99.8 points per 100 possessions in the four games. The Thunder's defensive mistakes have been critical through the tight series.
Here, Serge Ibaka moves to help Thabo Sefolosha over the top while Mike Conley handles the ball.
Conley blows by both defenders and finishes at the rim without any defensive resistance. Ibaka's poor defensive positioning opened a clear driving lane for Conley.
Ibaka should shift closer to the rim and already be in position to stop Conley's dribble penetration. This is a fundamental defensive breakdown from a player who was named to NBA All-Defensive First Team.
Defensive mistakes in the middle of the game while a team has a double-digit lead are often overlooked, but what about in critical situations? Here, Reggie Jackson botches a defensive closeout on Tony Allen while the game was tied early in overtime. Instead of staying on the ground against a player who is shooting only 37.8 percent from the field through the series, Jackson leaps into the air and loses Allen on the play. Worse, Allen has made none of the seven shots he's attempted outside the paint this series.
Even Thabo Sefolosha, a player with a great defensive reputation, is making mistakes. Here, he overplays a passing lane.
Marc Gasol moved up to set a screen but Conley does not need it after Sefolosha is caught out of position. This forces Ibaka to help on Conley. Sefolosha and Ibaka contain Conley, but Gasol is left alone to drift to the elbow, where he will drain an uncontested jumper.
There's also the issue of Kendrick Perkins. We've already taken an in-depth look at how Perkins is negatively impacting the Thunder's offense, but he's also a non-factor defensively. This is a weak contest on a Zach Randolph jumper.
Randolph beating Perkins on the perimeter and creating space isn't the only issue. Randolph is also scoring over Perkins in the low post.
Through the 24 minutes Perkins played in Game 4, he scored two points and grabbed two offensive rebounds (missing one putback attempt). His 4.5 rebounds per game through the series are dwarfed by both Randolph's 10.0 per game and Gasol's 8.8 per contest. Oklahoma City's attempt to "out-big" the Grizzlies has failed not just because of offensive spacing, but because Perkins is not doing anything well for the Thunder on either end.
The Thunder have many problems to solve in a series where they are down 3-1. It's not just pick-and-roll coverage, it's not just low-post defense and it's not just cutting off dribble penetration. Everything defensively is failing for Oklahoma City. Can the Thunder's defense provide enough cushion for their offense to extend the series?
If any motivation was needed for them to dig in, playing to stay alive in the playoffs should be all the bulletin board material they need.
