what to buy
While the Onkyo HT-S9400THX isn't the least expensive all-in-one home theater kit available, reviewers say you get a lot for your money. Critics and consumers alike say this 7.1-channel system provides excellent audio and video performance. It's one of the few to carry THX I/S audio certification, which means the sound you enjoy in your living room will be the same as you'd get in a movie theater, as long as your room isn't too large.
Few compromises. Most owners and experts give the Onkyo HT-S9400THX a thumbs-up. It carries THX I/S Plus certification, designed to evaluate the audio prowess of integrated systems such as an AV receiver and speaker bundles. The electronics and speakers together should deliver the same listening experience in smaller home settings -- sitting 6 to 8 feet from the screen -- as you'd enjoy in a movie theater.
Praise isn't uniform, however. While one expert agrees that this Onkyo all-in-one outperforms similar options, he's disappointed in the speaker quality. He says those willing to strike out on their own can do a little better, albeit at a price that's now a bit higher than what the HT-S9400THX streets for.
On the video side, the Marvell Qdeo processor is top shelf, more typical of something found in sophisticated video components than an HTIB. Its features include the ability to upscale video to 4K, making it compatible with ultra-high-definition projectors and TV sets due to be rolled out in 2013.
A little extra effort. Because the HT-S9400THX uses standard connections, setup can be difficult for home theater novices. However, Onkyo equips the speakers with color-coded binding posts and supplies color-coded speaker cable to make things easier; that also makes upgrading or replacing cables or speakers down the road a simpler task. Yet those speaker cables are a main source of user complaints, with several saying they're too thin.
Although balancing speaker levels to produce a believable surround-sound field is a challenge for some, experts say the included Audyssey's 2EQ automatic speaker setup system does a pretty good job of automating the process for the best sound quality and surround-sound effects in any room.
Lack of a Blu-ray player is disappointing. Despite the Onkyo's price tag, you'll need to budget a little more for a Blu-ray Disc player because the kit doesn't include one. Network connectivity and DLNA compliance are part of the feature set, allowing you to get media from your personal computer. However, some users complain that Internet streaming sources are limited to radio stations and a few audio-only content providers.
The HT-S9400THX's receiver more closely resembles a mid-range component-class home theater receiver than the electronics normally found in all-in-one HTIB systems. It supports almost every decoding format you'd need for excellent home audio. Those include all of the major Dolby and DTS formats, such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio used on Blu-ray Discs and Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which lets owners substitute two front height channels for the two rear-center channels in a seven-channel surround-sound setup. Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic volume are also onboard.
If you want a home theater system that'll disappear in a room, the HT-S9400THX isn't it. The speaker cabinets are substantially sized, and the receiver is a serious piece of home electronics.
You pay for convenience and performance. Aside from some
high-style systems from makers like Bose, the Onkyo HT-S9400THX sits
toward the top of the price range for HTIB systems. For the
same money, you can select a component-grade home theater receiver
and a set of
strong-performing surround-sound speakers and build a system that
sounds as
good or better, and with a stronger features lineup sans THX
certification. See

Review Credibility: Excellent Wilson calls the Onkyo HT-S9400THX a "competent" HTIB that's a cut above similar systems. However, speaker performance is disappointing compared to some systems you can pull together yourself at near the same price, keeping it from earning the site's Top Pick award.

Review Credibility: Excellent While this "first look" review is based only on Andry's interpretations and impressions of the Onkyo HT-S9400THX's specifications, he offers a ton of insight into the brawn and brains behind the system. "The message is clear -- this is a product that defies its price point," he says.

Review Credibility: Very Good Silva's review of the HT-S9400THX also appears to be based on his interpretation of its features and specifications rather than any hands-on testing. He does a great job of describing what the different functions, decoders and connections mean to home listeners. "With the HT-S9400THX, Onkyo takes the typical home theater-in-a-box system up a notch," he says.

Review Credibility: Very Good Most of the nearly 20 users who weigh in at Newegg.com rate the Onkyo HT-S9400THX highly, although one complains about the build quality of the speakers. Everyone calls the system massive, and its sound and easy setup are singled out for praise. Many dislike the thin and short speaker wire, however, and some warn to keep sound volume expectations reasonable.

5. Amazon.com
Review Credibility: Good There are more Onkyo HT-S9400THX reviews at Amazon.com, but user satisfaction follows a similar pattern. Words like "amazing," "powerful," "great" and "love" are prevalent when owners describe the system's sound and connectivity options. Only a handful fail to rate the receiver either 4 stars out of 5 or higher.

Office attack
FORT WORTH — Police are trying to identify the man who entered the West 7th office of State Sen. Wendy Davis Tuesday afternoon and threw two firebombs just outside the door.
Two staffers were in the third floor office when the attack occurred around 4 o'clock. One of them had to leap over the flames to escape, then went to the break room, grabbed an extinguisher and put out the fire.
No one was hurt, but the lawmaker's office was damaged by the fire.
Investigators said Sen. Davis was at her law office closer to downtown Fort Worth at the time of the incident. She was kept in lockdown by Department of Public Safety officers for four hours for her own protection.
She called the attack alarming, scary and violent, and Davis said she believes it was meant to cause serious harm.
"They did have a suspect that did flee the scene," said Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman Capt. Tom Crow. "I believe he was chased by a maintenance man, but he was not caught."
The damage inside Davis' office was minimal. The senator is a Democrat and former Fort Worth City Council member, but investigators said it is still unclear whether the attack was politically motivated.
"I will continue to stand very strong for the things that I've been working on and believe in, and know our community believes in: Public education, job creation, and women's health care have been in the top of so many peoples' minds," she said, adding that the incident brought back memories of the violent assault on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona.
"It's a sad but true fact of public service that we have to feel concern sometimes for our personal safety," Davis said. "But we can't let that stop us."
Fort Worth police and fire investigators are trying to learn more about the suspect and and what may be the motive behind the attack. Arson investigators removed canisters and bags filled with evidence from the building.
Sen. Davis said her office will reopen for business on Wednesday morning, and security at her law office was also tightened as a result of what happened on Tuesday afternoon.
"It's unfortunate when things like this happen in the public arena, and it reminds us of how important it is for us to remain very civil in our discourse," Davis said.

When Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry had state Senate districts redrawn in 1812 to benefit his party, a cartoonist described one map as a salamander. Two centuries later, oddly shaped districts from gerrymandering still have such nicknames bug splat, flat-cat road kill and ribbon of shame.
The best-known in the country may be the 12th Congressional District of North Carolina, which straddles Interstate 85 from Charlotte to Greensboro. It is shaped like strands of dental floss.
Deformities like these are an insult to the Constitution of North Carolina and our people. They make a mockery of one person-one vote, lead to polarization by promoting extremes over moderation and cause partisan gridlock that leaves citizens shaking their heads in dismay.
Make no mistake: Democrats and Republicans are both at fault. After each decennial census, the party in power in the General Assembly redraws House, Senate and congressional districts to win as many seats as possible. Like-minded voters are packed into one district to reduce their overall voting power. That district becomes a sacrificial pawn for the majority party one it concedes in order to gain seats, often several seats, elsewhere.
What has changed is that packing has been raised to a science by sophisticated software.
This bare-knuckled political redistricting damages our democracy. This year in the 170 state Senate and House races, 78 districts will have just one candidate on the ballot in November. And only 15 to 20 of the remaining races can be considered competitive.
The payoff from gerrymandering can be huge: In 2012 Republican congressional candidates got 1.4 million fewer votes nationwide than Democrats but kept their large majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Here in North Carolina, Democrats outpolled Republicans by 81,000 votes in congressional races but lost nine of 13 seats.
Democrats have seized the same advantages when they have been in the majority.
The consequences of noncompetitive elections are terrible. Unaccountable office-holders are less responsive to constituents, hold fewer district meetings and even ignore public opinion because they do not have to worry about re-election.
Worst of all, office-holders gravitate more and more toward extremes, unwilling to seek middle ground, which should be the cornerstone of our democracy.
Today politicians elect politicians in uncompetitive elections that disenfranchise voters and cause extreme policies and gridlock. Our state and nation desperately need citizen-led renewal to restore cooperation, compromise and confidence.
Two fundamental reforms are required.
• First, we need to professionalize the redistricting process to ensure that it is conducted on a strictly nonpartisan basis. We need an amendment to our state constitution mandating that the General Assemblys staff redraw district lines after each census.
Strict nonpartisan criteria must govern the mapping process so that district lines are compact, communities of interest are recognized and incumbents are not protected. Voter party affiliation and voting history should no longer be considered. Only census data of population, not individual voters or where they live, should be used to draw districts. The staff plan would be submitted to the General Assembly for a vote.
• Second, we should have broader use of the open primary system. Partisan primaries now polarize the base on each side. Office-holders are discouraged from working with the opposition, and those who do are often replaced by hard-liners. We must empower voters in the middle.
A Top Two primary something that we already have in statewide judicial races and most local elections would go a long way to help. The two candidates who get the most votes it could be two Republicans or two Democrats advance to the final round in November. This would also eliminate the need for costly primary runoffs.
The N.C. Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform is already hard at work, pushing to turn the mapping process over to the legislatures permanent staff.
No issue casts a longer and more negative shadow over the future of North Carolinas democracy.
Charles Meeker served as mayor of Raleigh from 2001 to 2011.

We were impressed with 1st impression of the ship. The staff were very welcoming and could to do enough for us, no matter what we wanted if they could get it they would.
We had the unfortunate need of the medical centre and they were very good, very caring and organised a translator when we had to to a medical centre in funchel
The only thing we thought was wrong is the way they put gratuities on a daily basis even when they add them to everything you buy. We were advised to ask to have they removed on the last day, which we did and they did it right away, as we would like to give tips to the staff that served us and looked after us.
The ship is very clean and they are very good on hand cleaning and every time we went into the restarants someone was spraying sanitisers, to make sure no stomach infections could start.
We would defenatly recommend NCL

There were some obvious trends we noticed that we think are going to take hold this coming year. Given what we tasted and saw, it's going to be a great year for food! Check out what trends we spotted. Flatbreads What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Flatbreads certainly seem like they're going to be quite popular this year. These beautiful Middle Eastern flatbreads give us options besides simple tortillas for wrap-making at home. 1 / 12 No-Sugar-Added Fruit Products What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's not enough for a product to no longer contain high-fructose corn syrup; the big thing now is for fruit-flavored products to not contain any added sugars, period. That goes for fruit chews, fizzy fruit juices, frozen fruit pops, and childrens' fruit snacks. 2 / 12 Lavender-Flavored Everything What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This trend makes me a little bit nervous because while I love the scent of lavender, sometimes it can be a bit harsh in foods. Luckily, everything that we tried was really subtle and actually enhanced (rather than covered up) by the lavender addition. 3 / 12 Tea What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One thing was blatantly obvious at this year's show: tea is where it's at in 2012. We were able to sample all kinds of tea (which was really cool since it's National Tea Month) and we also found tea flavoring all kinds of things, even granola! We think it's a perfect opportunity to start hosting tea parties. 4 / 12 Alternative Oils What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If 2011 was the year cow's milk became passé, 2012 might just be the year extra-virgin olive oil meets its match. As it turns out, just about anything can be the source of oil, from tea seeds to shiso leaves to rice bran to coconuts. 6 / 12 Pickles, Pickles, Pickles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If the Good Food Awards didn't get us excited enough about pickles (they had an entire category dedicated to them!), then the Fancy Food Show sure took care of things. We tasted all kinds of inventive pickling techniques, like okra pickled with smoked paprika, and we can't wait to see how this trend evolves. 6 / 12 Jamón Ibérico What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In years past, it was a rarity to come across Jamón Ibérico at this show, but much to our surprise and delight it was everywhere this year. We think that speaks to the fact that people simply want more great cured ham from Spain, and we're A-OK with that. 7 / 12 Ancient Grains What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Farro. Millet. Amaranth. Kamut: these grains aren't just touted for their whole-grain health benefits, they've also been around for centuries. Have you heard of these ingredients? If you haven't, get ready: they're on the verge of taking America by storm. 8 / 12 Tart Cherries in Everything What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 2012 is going to be a big year for tart cherries, since it's been reported that they can reduce risk of diabetes and cancer. We drank them in juice from concentrate, juice not from concentrate, ate them dried, saw them covered in chocolate, and spotted their juice used in frozen fruit pops. "They make a spectacular post-workout recovery snack," one vendor told us. 9 / 12 Eco-Friendly Packaging What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, so packaging isn't exactly a food, but it certainly was a trend in food packaging at the show. Eco-friendly spoons, tea bags made out of hemp, compostable clear containers: you name it, we saw it. Did you know that stainless steel tins are easier on the environment and better for recycling purposes than other metals? Neither did we. 11 / 12 Flavored Waters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If bottles at the Fancy Food Show could've talked, they would've said, "Plain ol' agua is so last year." Everywhere we turned, there was some iteration of flavored H20, whether it was tinged with herbal extracts (lavender mint and cloves cardamom cinnamon, anyone?), fruit (watermelon, blackberry) or nut oils (we savored a family recipe for sweet almond water). Surprisingly, most of them offered refreshment with natural flavors. 11 / 12 Overall, a Healthier Focus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If there were one resounding takeaway from this year's show, it was that Americans are shifting their food priorities, with demands for more all-natural, wholesome, healthy products. Given today's obesity epidemic, that's a movement we can get behind! 12 / 12 2 7 7 0 0 Read More Fancy Food ShowWinter Fancy Food ShowFood Trends Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Symetrix, Inc. has appointed top-flight manufacturer representative Audio Geer to promote its products in southern California, southern Nevada, and Arizona.
Symetrix and its associated brands will add to Audio Geer's already impressive line card, which includes Shure, Denon, EAW, LCS, Lab.Gruppen, Marantz, T.C. Electronic, Allen & Heath, Tannoy, Furman, and VRAS.
"We represent a broad range of truly excellent brands," notes Alan Geer, principal of Audio Geer. "But we were lacking in the area of DSP and audio processing. Adding Symetrix, SymNet, AirTools, and Lucid provides the last link. Now we can integrate a full system for our customers from top to bottom with the best products available. The fact that Symetrix assembles everything right here in the USA is the icing on the cake. We're proud to represent them!"
Paul Roberts, director of sales for Symetrix adds, "Audio Geer's outstanding reputation with their customers, years of experience and numerous rep awards from many of the industry's top manufacturers encouraged us to develop this relationship," commented. "They're very selective about the manufacturers they choose to work with. This is an exciting company that represents an exciting part of the country. We're thrilled to be represented by them and look forward to increased exposure in this territory."

If the Eagles could do the 2013 NFL Draft over again, who would they take at No. 4?
The predictions are in stone. What will the Broncos do on draft day?
Justin Pugh? Mike Mayock has chosen the Syracuse offensive lineman for the Giants in his final mock draft. Pugh is generally regarded as more of a Day 2 selection.
Bring in all of the big boards out there, average out their predictions and you end up with a fairly accurate placement for all prospects. You really can't go wrong with that kind of approach.
As we gear up for Thursday's draft, we take some time to look at how some of our own draft crushes have fared in the NFL
BRB's annual mock draft comes to a close with the first-round pick of the defending Super Bowl champs.
NFL.com's Bucky Brooks on Monday afternoon published his "perfect" draft strategy for each of the NFL's 32 teams. Nice concept. To be fair, any draft strategy seems perfect when compared to the one...
Everyone has an opinion but what do the experts think? We have the Consensus from 18 Top Mock Drafts.
The San Francisco 49ers have 13 picks, so how will they use their first one?
The final version of the Houston Texans mock allows trades to be talked, which allows for a surprise in round one.

Cain Velasquez is less than two months away from his title defense against Antonio Silva at UFC 160. The heavyweight champion is perhaps the most prominent MMA fighter thus far to give his opinion on whether or not Fallon Fox should be allowed to compete against women. MMA Fighting's Shaun Al-Shatti has the quotes:
"I don't think she should be able to fight women," Velasquez flatly responded when asked about Fox at a recent media luncheon.
"Having the same bone structure and everything else as a man, I think definitely does give her an advantage."
Cain joins the likes of Miesha Tate and Joe Rogan as "against" Fox competing in women's MMA.
Velasquez also had this to say as far as finding an alternative solution for Fox:
"Maybe have a separate [division], I guess," the UFC heavyweight champion finished. "I don't know. But I don't think that's fair."
The 37-year-old Fox, who fights at featherweight and sports a 2-0 record, is expected to fight in May against Allana Jones in Florida. However, Jones has yet to sign the bout agreement, so this matchup is not yet official.

When I was very young, I remember my parents flinging refuse out the car window as we traveled the long roads to "vacation," wherever that might be. This was the norm. I remember the change a few years later when the authorities posted signs informing us that littering was illegal and warning about fines. My parents immediately changed their habits, as did most other Americans.
The change most Americans have made during my lifetime regarding the environment has come in stages, but it is a large change. The average American in 2013 would have been considered "an environmental extremist" back in 1960. Most of us who have been around awhile have changed our attitude, probably without knowing it.
Back in 1960 (the first year I can remember), municipalities offered "garbage dumps," where one could throw away just about anything, no matter how toxic. We were insulating homes with asbestos, and you could carve your initials in the trees. Even at the zoo, you could throw marshmallows or peanuts to the animals.
Factories were dumping untreated water with mercury and a host of toxic pollutants into our creeks and rivers. One of the Great Lakes was declared "dead." Air pollution left houses near steel factories covered with dust rust; who knows how our lungs looked?
Cigarette smoking was omnipresent, and the rest of us dared not complain. We sprayed our gardens with DDT while the old-timers spoke of a time when one could see a variety of birds, not just sparrows, robins and pigeons. Nearly everyone cooked with margarine, and the pipes that carried in fresh water were made of lead.
The recent Kokomo Tribune article about the city taking hold of the former quarry on the east side of South Washington Street (just south of the Wildcat Creek) got me thinking. As a frequent patron of the former Southside Lumber Co., I often wondered why the adjacent property was fenced off. The Tribune article explained that Cabot Corp. had dumped toxic barrels and mildly radioactive machine parts on that site, as late as 1970.

This portends to be a very full week, especially at work. Mercury (the planet of communications) suggests you will have a lot of discussions, meetings, e-mails, and phone calls relating to your professional life, and may need to juggle new opportunities with existing responsibilities. Strive to complete projects today.
Venus moves into Taurus today, followed by Mars and the Sun later in the week, all of which places emphasis on your career.

Today favors education, communication, and professional advancement. Venus moves into Taurus which encourages philosophical investigation and self inquiry. You are pondering and learning about two important themes very much on your mind: love and abundance.
The week begins with the emphasis on communication. You easily speak to and address a wide range of correspondence today. Discussions and meetings go well, and disagreements can be turned into agreements. It's a good to negotiate or sign a contract.

But Venus moves into Taurus and sends love's power to support you. Physical exercise is conducive for restoring a sense of well-being.
This will be a bright week, dear Sagittarius. The early part of today favors your creativity and self-expression, and Mars and the Sun bestow added energy and light. Romance and relationships could arrive at a new beginning, as you see some past difficulties resolved and released.
Dear Capricorn, the stars for you this week speak of power and transformation. You are experiencing profound energies of change, and you are in a time of self-discovery. Today is very productive and you accomplish a great deal, particularly by attending to the daily routine. Though this may feel a bit tedious, it is necessary, and you do well. Later Venus highlights romance.
Today is favorable for meetings, writing, and communications of all sorts. Mercury (the planet of intelligence and communications) has moved into a position of strong support for you. Your mind is filled with new ideas, and your thinking is inspired and creative. You will make magic happen!
Today the stars emphasize your earning ability and your finances. You may be concerned because expenses have been higher than usual, but there is no need for concern. You have been positioning yourself for greater prosperity, and the future looks bright.

From NBA.com staff reports
Just because LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol and so many other high-profile free agent targets have already made their decisions doesn't mean this summer's free agent party is over. The center of the basketball universe is in Las Vegas for Summer League, that's where the games are being played and the movers and shakers are stationed right now. But the grind of free agency continues all over the place. We're not done yet …
After a long day of team decision-making and contract-negotiating, Pau Gasol is ready to ponder his vacation and his future … quietly, of course.
After my decision, I'm back in #Barcelona! Great to start off my day reading a good book: #Quiet by @susancain http://t.co/XUmM0sKdia—
Pau Gasol (@paugasol) July 14, 2014
Update, 11:42 p.m. — Rio still feeling the Heat
Another original "Heatles" member is getting closer to being back in the fold, with Mario Chalmers getting a couple more years in Miami.
As for Mario Chalmers, hearing he landed a two-year deal from the Heat in the region of $8+ million—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 14, 2014
Update, 11:33 p.m. — Three more years!
Looks like Pau Gasol is ready for the (semi) long haul in bringing a title to Chicago, working on a three-year deal for reasonable price.
Free agent forward Pau Gasol is finalizing a three-year, $22M-plus contract with the Chicago Bulls, league sources told Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 14, 2014
Update, 9:48 p.m. — More shooting for SVG
The Detroit Pistons ranked 29th in 3-point percentage last season. And it's been obvious from the start of free agency that priority No. 1 for new president and coach Stan Van Gundy is improving that mark. He started by adding Jodie Meeks (40.1 percent from three last season) and Cartier Martin (39.1 percent). Now, he's adding more shooting with the additions of D.J. Augustin (40.1 percent) and Caron Butler (39.4 percent)...
Free agent guard DJ Augustin has reached a two-year, $6 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 14, 2014
Hearing Detroit on the brink of signing Caron Butler after Butler's postseason run with Oklahoma City.—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 14, 2014
Can confirm cia sources the Pistons have agreed to terms with Caron Butler and Dj Augustin… Butler is a one-yr w/team option for yr 2—
Vincent Goodwill (@vgoodwill) July 14, 2014
None of these four guys can make a huge impact individually. But collectively, they will space the floor for Detroit's bigs. And none of them break the bank, with contracts that can easily be worked into trades.
Of course, Greg Monroe remains unsigned as a restricted free agent. Butler probably shouldn't be a starting small forward anymore, but he could definitely make Josh Smith more of a permanent four than he was last season.
One more note: The Augustin addition is bad news for second-year point guard Peyton Siva, whose contract would become guaranteed on July 20 if he's not waived by then. Siva must not have made enough of an impression on Van Gundy in Summer League.
Update, 8:40 p.m. — Birdman back
LeBron James is gone, but the rest of the Heat's rotation is quickly coming back together. Earlier Sunday, Miami reached an agreement with Mario Chalmers on a new contract. And now, it's the Birdman who has re-upped.
Chris Andersen — the Birdman — reaches agreement on a multi-year deal to return to the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 14, 2014
Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and James Jones are still free agents, but the Heat are reportedly working things out with Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem.
Update, 7:02 p.m. — Three-way deal for Ariza
Before the Draft, the Houston Rockets agreed to send Omer Asik to New Orleans. On Saturday, they agreed to sign Trevor Ariza to a four-year contract. And on Sunday, those two deals came together in the form of a three-team sign-and-trade transaction.
Wizards will take non-guaranteed contract of Melvin Ely from NO & get $8.5M TPE for Ariza, who will do sign and trade to go to Houston.—
David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 13, 2014
Pelicans will get Asik, Omri Casspi & 1.5M from Houston. Rockets get Ariza from Wizards, Alonzo Gee and 2015 protected first from Pelicans.—
David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 13, 2014
Update, 6:30 p.m. — Mirotic is on his way
Pau Gasol isn't the only international big man that the Chicago Bulls are adding this summer. Nikola Mirotic, a first-round pick in 2011 from Montenegro, announced that he's on his way as well.
I am very happy and excited to announce that next season I will be playing with the @chicagobulls . Today I fulfill a dream. #BullsNation—
Nikola Mirotic (@nikolamirotic12) July 13, 2014
Euro star Nikola Mirotic's deal with the Chicago Bulls will be three years, $17M-plus, league source tells Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Update, 6:06 p.m. — His name is Rio
Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade may have lost Superfriend LeBron James, but they will still have Mario Chalmers to yell at …
Mario Chalmers is returning to the Miami Heat on a two-year deal, sources tell ESPN—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 13, 2014
Update, 5:58 p.m. — Rockets pass on Parsons
In a bit of a surprise, the Houston Rockets will let Chandler Parsons head to their division rivals, who have made some upgrades (Parsons and Tyson Chandler) this summer …
Houston will not match the $46M Dallas offer sheet for Chandler Parsons, league source tells Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Rockets were torn over decision, source said, but ultimately decided they would not be a championship team and would have no room to build.—
Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) July 13, 2014
The decision largely came down to whether the Rockets were good enough with a big three of Harden, Howard and Parsons.—
Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) July 13, 2014
Just heard from @dmorey and Mr. Alexander. Nothing but utmost respect for them, the fans and city of Houston. THANK YOU for your support!—
Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) July 13, 2014
Houston's decision to not match on Chandler Parsons will have ripple effect to Indy, and Lance Stephenson. Lance was next up on Mavs list.—
Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) July 13, 2014
At one point, we thought the Rockets were going to have a lineup of Patrick Beverley, James Harden, Parsons, Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard. As it turns out, they've dealt away their depth (Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin), swapped Parsons for Trevor Ariza, and helped three fellow Western Conference teams (Lakers, Mavs and Pelicans) improve. They're also giving the Washington Wizards an asset…
Washington and Houston have agreed to a sign-and-trade for Trevor Ariza, league source tells Yahoo. Wizards get $8.5M trade exception.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Update, 5:16 p.m. — Champs in tact
Fourteen different Spurs logged at least one minute in the playoffs. We know now that at least 13 of the 14 will be back in silver and black (Aron Baynes remains a restricted free agent) …
Just got text from Matt Bonner that reads: 'I'm coming back." #Spurs.—
Mike Monroe (@Monroe_SA) July 13, 2014
As first reported by @benhunted, Matt Bonner is headed back to the Spurs. One year, vet min.—
J.E. Skeets (@jeskeets) July 13, 2014
Update, 5:07 p.m. — Together Forever
Kirk Hinrich once played for a couple of teams other than the Chicago Bulls. Really. But he won't be leaving Chicago again, at least not this summer …
Kirk Hinrich has re-signed with the Bulls, per source.—
David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 13, 2014
Update, 4:32 p.m. — Mavs get at least one SF today
The Dallas Mavericks are still awaiting word from the Houston Rockets on their offer sheet for Chandler Parsons, but that isn't stopping them from signing a back-up plan. If you need size on the wings, you could do worse than Richard Jefferson, who has shot 41 percent or better from 3-point range in three of his last four seasons …
Free agent Richard Jefferson is finalizing a one-year agreement with Dallas, league source tells Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Mavericks will get Jefferson on a one-year minimum deal. Bargain signing after Jefferson completed his last contract in Utah—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 13, 2014
Update, 4:20 p.m. — Hinrich will be a Bull forever
The Charlotte Hornets were in the market for Kirk Hinrich, but with their agreement to sign back-up point guard Brian Roberts, it appears that Kirk Hinrich will be back in Chicago for more years of being Derrick Rose's back-up and/or fill-in …
Charlotte had been pursuing free agent Kirk Hinrich, but belief is that he's destined to sign with Bulls, league sources tell Yahoo.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Update, 3:48 p.m. — Kemba's new back-up
Much to the chagrin of Hang Time's Sekou Smith, Luke Ridnour's services are no longer needed in Charlotte, because Brian Roberts is a Hornet once again. He'll be the first guy to play for the Charlotte version after playing for the New Orleans version …
Free agent guard Brian Roberts has agreed to a two-year, $5.5M-plus deal with the Charlotte Hornets, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Update, 3:24 p.m. — Deng had choices
Joining Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra in sunny South Florida is a pretty good move, but Luol Deng had other options on Sunday…
Hawks re-engaged with Luol Deng on Sunday, & Lakers/Detroit called too, but he's heading to the Heat – usatoday.com/story/sports/n…—
Sam Amick (@sam_amick) July 13, 2014
Update, 2:30 p.m. — Filling LeBron's shoes
LeBron James took Luol Deng's job in Cleveland. And now the Miami Heat have replaced James with Deng. Bosh, Deng and Wade isn't a bad core to build around …
Free agent forward Luol Deng has agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Deal will include a player option on the second year of Deng's deal, source tells Yahoo.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 13, 2014
Update, 2:05 p.m. — Show Luol the money
There are a few teams still looking for a small forward who can play both ends of the floor. Luol Deng knows that and knows he can take advantage of the market …
Luol Deng still deciding, per source, which almost always means "high bid wins." MIA still ahead. Mavs in it (cont) tl.gd/n_1s2fiv5—
David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 13, 2014
Update, 1:55 p.m. — Trying to get (most of) the band back together
The Heat will have Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh back, but there are still some more roster spots to fill, and some guys they can bring back. The Birdman is one of them …
The Heat are still very much in play for Chris Andersen, a source close to him says.—
Jared Zwerling (@JaredZwerling) July 13, 2014
Update, 1:50 p.m. — Who?
The Bulls are moving on without that guy who scores 27 points a game …
Didn't even mention him by name. RT @ESPNChiBulls: Thibodeau hides disappointment over Melo es.pn/1ouYpLE—

Update, 1:30 p.m. — Wolves draw a line in the sand
The Timberwolves aren't selling Kevin Love for pennies on the dollar …
Lots telling me Wolves HAVE to move Love now. All I can say is they don't see it that way. No Klay. No Wiggins. No Love. Period.—

Update, 11:09 a.m. — Gilbert explains how he and LeBron cleared the air
The greatest rebound of Dan Gilbert's professional career has to be coming back from his dreaded letter after "The Decision." Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press weighs after talking with Gilbert, who took Albom through his reconciliation process with LeBron:
He pondered that as the plane descended into Florida. He and James hadn't spoken since that night. Four years. They'd seen each other a few times. "I'd sit on the baseline when he came back to play in Cleveland. He'd look at me from the free-throw line. Not good. Not bad. Just look."
Now he was scheduled to meet James, in secret, to discuss what seemed impossible just days earlier — a return to the Cavs. The whole world was hanging on the news. But as Gilbert glanced out the window, for a moment he wasn't a billionaire Detroit businessman or an NBA owner. He was every guy seeing his ex-wife after the divorce, every teen guitarist seeing a former friend who broke up the band.
"I had told LeBron's guys, whether he comes back or not, I really want to clear the air. It shouldn't be like this."
He hoped that part would go smoothly. Then someone on board yelled the media had discovered his plane was en route, and a new airport had to be quickly found.
Gilbert realized nothing was going to be easy.
The moment of truth
But then, saying you're sorry never is. You do it anyway. Long after the basketball smoke clears from this story, that's the human part we ought to remember.
You shouldn't be known for the worst thing you ever did. Gilbert entered that private home meeting by himself, no assistants, and sat down at a dining-room table across from James and a few associates.
"First thing I said to him was, 'LeBron, you know this is true. We had five good years and one bad night. Like a marriage that's good and then one bad thing happens and you never talk to each other again.
" 'I'm just glad we're here, whether you come or not, LeBron. This has been hanging over my head.' "
To his surprise, he soon heard James saying the same thing. The superstar said he regretted the infamous "The Decision" broadcast. He said he didn't think it out properly. In short, many of the things Gilbert was thinking about his own actions.
"I apologized and we talked and it took maybe 15 or 20 minutes. That's it. Then I said, 'Is that enough about the past?' And we started talking about the future."

Laura Benanti and Cheyenne Jackson Will Join Shuler Hensley in Encores! Most Happy Fella
By Andrew Gans
Stage and screen stars Laura Benanti and Cheyenne Jackson will join previously announced Tony winner Shuler Hensley in the New York City Center Encores! production of Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella, which will play the famed Manhattan venue April 2-6, 2014.
Tony winner Casey Nicholaw will direct the limited engagement with music direction by Rob Berman.
Loesser's most ambitious and romantic musical, according to press notes, "tells the heart-stopping story of a love triangle between an aging Napa Valley farmer (Shuler Hensley), a young waitress (Laura Benanti) and a handsome, restless ranch hand (Cheyenne Jackson)."
The Most Happy Fella is based on the play They Knew What They Wanted by Sidney Howard. It has a book, music and lyrics by Loesser. Song titles include "Somebody Somewhere," "My Heart Is So Full of You," "Big D" and "Standing on the Corner."
The musical opened at the Imperial Theatre May 3, 1956, and ran for 676 performances. (The Most Happy Fella was revived by the New York City Center Light Opera at City Center for a limited run of 16 performances Feb. 10-22, 1959.) Broadway revivals were presented in 1979 and 1992.
Tickets start at $30 and will be on sale starting Oct. 7. Tickets can be purchased online and at the New York City Center Box Office beginning Sept. 3 (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix at (212) 581-1212, or online at www.NYCityCenter.org.

The Town of Middletown Planning Board, working in concert with a consulting planner, is heading towards the second phase of overhauling the town's comprehensive plan.
What do the Pakatakan Golf Course, the Knights of Pythias and Milton Berle have in common? Arkville!
An exhibit on view at the Middletown Town Hall through the end of December includes photos and memorabilia of Arkville as it used to be, from the golf course that stretched along Route 28, to the Pakatakan Lodge, Knights of Pythias #321 based in Arkville, to the famed entertainer who performed at Todd's Hall (now Casey Joe's) at the Crossroads in Arkville in 1936.
The holidays are upon us and the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown has compiled a wish list for those willing to contribute the gifts of time and information to help document the town's heritage.
By Matthew J. Perry
The Town of Middletown kicked off its effort on Nov. 1 to draft a new comprehensive plan with an interactive meeting at which residents and town officials discussed the needs, goals and character of the community. It was the first of what will likely be several workshops and informational hearings that will be convened before the plan is worked into its final form, likely sometime next year.
By Julia Green
Town of Middletown taxpayers will face a 6.9 percent property tax hike if the town's preliminary budget is adopted following a public hearing on Nov. 5.
After an Oct. 7 meeting to discuss the tentative 2009 budget, the Middletown Town Board adopted the tentative budget as the preliminary budget at its monthly meeting on Oct. 14. The budget reflects a 6.9 percent tax levy increase, which translates to a $147,324 total tax increase, excluding special districts.
A total budget of $3,277,040 is estimated for Middletown's general fund and water and lighting districts, with $2,305,216 to be raised by taxes.
Margaretville — All residents, property owners, civic groups, businesses and government officials are invited and encouraged to participate in a special "planning and visioning" workshop to shape the future of the Town of Middletown. The event will be held on Nov. 1 at the Margaretville Firehall starting promptly at 11 a.m. This is a public planning session and the entire community is encouraged to participate.
The Town of Middletown local voter registration will be on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 2-9 p.m. at the town hall, located at 42339 state highway 28, Margaretville. A public meeting for residents of the Arkville Water District to receive information and ask questions about a proposed renovation of the water system is set for Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m.
The Town of Middletown adopted the NYS Real Property Tax Law 458-b Cold War Veterans Exemption on August 12. The exemption shall be applicable to Town of Middletown taxes. "Cold War Veteran" means a person, male or female, who served on active duty in the United States armed forces, during the time period from September 2, 1945 to December 26, 1991, and was discharged or released under honorable conditions.

Recognizing that innovation is the key to international competitiveness in the 21st century, policymakers around the world are seeking more effective ways to translate scientific and technological knowledge into new products, processes, and businesses. They have initiated major programs, often with substantial funding, that are designed to attract, nurture, and support innovation and high-technology industries within their national economies.
To help U.S. policymakers become more aware of these developments, a committee of the National Academies' Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy undertook a review of the goals, concept, structure, operation, funding levels, and evaluation efforts of significant innovation programs around the world. As a part of this effort, the committee identified Flanders, a region of Belgium with substantial autonomy, which is recognized for its comprehensive approach to innovation. Based on initial meetings in Washington and Brussels, and with the endorsement of Flanders Vice Minister-President Fientje Moerman, it was agreed to organize a conference that would review regional innovation policies in the context of the policies and programs of the Flanders government, and their interaction with those of the European Union. This book provides a summary of that symposium.

Olivers Bladek and Ho dominated the Senate race, defeating perennial candidate Matt Dalidowicz and neither is taking the victory lightly.
"I will be taking proactive action to meet each of the other senators on a personal basis before the first meeting," said Ho. "[Oliver and I] will prepare for the first senate meeting by meeting personally with each of the other senators and talking with our Students' Union colleagues to bring the student perspective to the first senate meeting."
Bladek, who was in Ottawa during the voting, was tempered in his response.
"I'm happy to represent students to the Senate for the upcoming year," said Bladek. "I'm happy to see that voting is now online and it's the reason why the election received about 5,000 votes with so many acclamations."
Defeated Senate candidate Matt Dalidowicz was happy about the race.
"I was up against two very competent individuals, and I thought I gave them a competitive race," he said. "There were a lot of people that believed I could do the job and I appreciate them for having enough confidence in me."
Board of Governors Rep-
resentative-elect Nic Porco was in Ottawa during the election and unavailable for comment.
Unsuccessful BoG rep candidate Bryndis Whitson was conciliatory about her defeat.
"It was hard to compete with Nic's name recognition," said Whitson. "I closed the gap in comparison to last year, that is all I can ask for. I think I've run against Nic Porco enough for one lifetime."
Whitson noted that while Monday allowed more students to vote, she believed the voter turnout remained low. She attributes the low turnout to acclamations and defective online voting on Wednesday.
