When the Mavericks traded Devin Harris over five years ago, the deal returned Jason Kidd and shored up the point guard position in Dallas for years to come. On Saturday, when Harris will put the Mavs uniform back on for his season debut, he'll be looking to help a position that's been flailing ever since Kidd left.
What everyone seems to be hoping for, really, is some stability.
More from our team site
More from our team site
Ever since Kidd's departure following the 2011-12 season, point guard has been a revolving door in Dallas. Deron Williams was the dream guy, but he couldn't turn down extra money and exposure in Brooklyn. Instead, in came Darren Collison early last season, but Rick Carlisle bailed and eventually turned to a skeleton crew of aging guys like Mike James and Derek Fisher to fill minutes. The results were ugly, particularly on the defensive end.
Now, Dallas has an entirely new group trying to solve the conundrum -- Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin, Gal Mekel and Harris, all acquired during the offseason. Calderon was supposed to be the primary guy, and for the first half of this season, he was. But when you scatter your resources, unable to sign a star guy, you end up with players who are volatile or old.
Calderon, for all his offensive wizardry, remains a major liability on the defensive end. An already-bad defense gets worse when he's on the court, allowing nearly 107 points per 100 possessions, per NBA.com. Larkin's numbers look much better, but it's a small sample and at his height, it's a major challenge for him to successfully defend a lot of NBA point guards. Playing great for one night, as Larkin did on Friday with 18 points against Phoenix, is one thing, but putting it together on both ends surely will be a much different kind of challenge.
The question, as it usually is, will ultimately be how the Mavericks choose to handle this situation. With Monta Ellis still at shooting guard, it's not like Dallas has nobody to handle the ball -- really, for this team, just some steady two-way play at point guard would be a borderline revelation.
Unfortunately, Larkin is 5'11, Calderon was a sieve before he banged his knee recently, and Mekel can't stay healthy long enough to crack the rotation. If the Mavericks are waiting for a reasonably consistent two-way point guard to emerge, unless we can all ignore Larkin's shortcomings, it needs to be Harris.
That might be a lot of pressure to put on a guy coming off toe surgery, but few words describe Harris' game as well as "steady." If he can come in and give the Mavericks 20-25 minutes with solid defense, efficient shooting and few turnovers, it could be enough to boost Dallas into the playoffs. He might be capable of that.
On offense, the Mavericks have guys like Dirk and Monta to handle things. The defense is something of a lost cause, but Shawn Marion will always give it some teeth. However, with guys like Larkin and Calderon in, they're playing something akin to 4-on-5 at times. Harris could be the guy who helps to balance those scales, getting an extra win or two in the process. In the West, we all know the kind of difference that could make.

Manager Malki Kawa wants Carlos Condit to have rematch with Nick Diaz - MMA Fighting
According to the manager of Carlos Condit, the one-time Interim welterweight champion has a number of options for his next bout. But the one at the top of his manager's list is a rematch with Nick Diaz.
Diaz may be, just may be, tempted to get a second chance at a clear win over Condit but it's hardly the kind of big money mega-bout the Stockton slugger insists he is holding out for.

UFC's deep pockets may feed ban - In the Markets Blog | Crain's New York Business
Ultimate Fighting Championship has been lobbying Albany heavily for years to lift a ban on the sport in New York state. But one reason the Legislature may not be acting is to extract more money from this cash-rich enterprise.
I predicted this a couple of years ago. The UFC is the rube coming to the casino that is the New York Assembly. Throwing money around to get your way doesn't work very well when the people you are paying know that as soon as you get your way the money flow will stop. NY has an extremely sclerotic and corrupt legislature, expect them to keep milking Zuffa for cash for many more years.

UFC 159 headliner Jon Jones says he still wants to fight Alexander Gustafsson - MMAmania.com
After Jon Jones takes care of business at UFC 159 this weekend in "The Garden State," he says he's ready to turn his attention to unfinished business in the light heavyweight division. That includes facing off against Alexander Gustafsson.
Gustafsson sure could have used a nice easy fight against a hobbled Gegard Mousasi a few weeks back, too bad he got cut and had to pull out. He might get a title shot without having to win another fight -- he's certainly earned one -- but then again he might not.

UFC champ Georges St-Pierre: Lightweight move likely easier than middleweight | News – MMAjunkie.com
For years, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has teased the idea of moving up to 185 pounds. While he's not ruling out such a change, he believes a cut to lightweight would be much easier.
Beating up smaller guys has a kind of universal appeal.
Gilbert Melendez weighs in on judging controversy following UFC on FOX 7 loss | News – MMAjunkie.com
Gilbert Melendez understands why so many people may be obsessed over the idea that a judging controversy took place at UFC on FOX 7, but as far as he's concerned, no such thing exists.
Of course that's how Melendez feels.

"Britain's social housing estates, once stepping stones of opportunity, are now ghettos for our poorest people," Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, declared in 2009.
Dear Iain
You once described yourself as "the quiet man". It didn't quite work for you at the time, which is a pity, because quietness implies a capacity for reflection, listening and, in the words of our Quaker 'Advices and Queries', for finding space to "consider it possible you may be mistaken". These are not qualities which are much in evidence among our noisier politicians.
Attacks on benefits and services are nothing new, but the situation has now become a crisis, as the latest vote in the House of Lords (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/15900) illustrates. But now is not the time to give up.

In the past few months a relatively simple topic has brought about massive controversy in the U.S. and several other advanced nations; gun control is this topic. Several strong opinions have been shown on this topic do to the incidents that have occurred threw out the nations. These events include mass shootings at schools, movie theaters and churches, all of which were committed using semiautomatic or fully automatic weapons equipped with large magazines, This posses the problem that many people in congress are now focusing on; should the public be able to access weapons of fully automatic nature and if so should large magazine sizes be allowed.
One thing people don't understand is the difference between the weapons on the market right now, from pump action to semiautomatic to fully automatic weapon. The difference between a pump action weapon to a semi automatic is quite distinct do to the simple fact that a manual change of bullets is needed in a pump while a semiautomatic will automatically change bullets once fired. This change brings the fire rate up from a 10 shots per minute rate to a 60 shot per minute rate in the average semiautomatic. Then the Fully automatic weapons take it one step further by removing the need for each bullet to be individually fired. here is an example of a common automatic weapon called the M4A1-
"Caliber: 5.56mm NATO
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Overall length: 838 mm (stock extended); 757 mm (stock fully collapsed)
Barrel length: 370 mm
Weight: 2.52 kg without magazine; 3.0 kg with magazine loaded with 30 rounds
Rate of fire: 700 - 950 rounds per minute
Maximum effective range: 360 m "
The change is tremendous 60 bullets a min to having the capability of firing 950 in a minute(Modern Firearms). All though these numbers may be staggering the fact is if there isn't a clip that can hold 950 bullets then everyone would be fine right? Well that is right, but in actuality there are extended clips that can approach this number. Extended clips are a problem that most people over look once they've seen the power of the weapons they tend to just focus in on this topic, but extended clips are truthfully the bigger problem. How better to address the seriousness of this problem then with the advertisements used to sell these clips? "with a high capacity magazine you have the opportunity to carry the same number of ammunition magazines, with a lot more ammunition." ; "A high capacity gun ammo magazine is much more convenient to use than a regular magazine since a high capacity magazine can often hold two to almost three times as much ammunition as a regular magazine." (High Capacity Gun Magazines). These allow for the use of high powered fast firing automatic weapons.
These weapons were not intended to be used by every day citizens or even the every day police officer. These weapons were designed for toughs with elite training. police officers undergo 90 hours of basic weapon training and then roughly 10 hours of weapon training every year, but this training is for pistils and shotguns which both are semiautomatic (Firearms Training). The FBI on the other hand has far more strenuous training for their need of special skills. They are highly trained and go threw computer simulated tests only to be critiqued for the slightest errors that were made while attached to the computer systems. This teaches a mentality that common people don't just have(FBI ). These simulations on top of real shooting practice harden the minds of these select few allowing them to cope with the Trauma caused by the need to use a weapon of this caliber. This idea of dealing with Trauma may seem silly, but it is realistic being physically able to shoot doesn't always prepare a human for a Traumatic seen. When a human experiences traumatic events that require them to be armed, it is unlikely that they will even be sane, do to the change in the "levels of several neurotransmitters in your brain"(Responces to Trauma). This is why the training that the FBI does is so important it isn't just a physical lesson like police officers get it is mental training. This is why police offices only use semiautomatic weapons because they aren't mentally capable of using an automatic weapon. If these weapons are so dangerous that our own every day peace keepers won't use them why would civilians be allowed to access them?
Semiautomatic weapons are often used by civilians for hunting big game animals such as deer and elk in wooded areas such as Tennessee. These weapons are often needed to quickly end a large and dangerous animals life, as to avoid human death and animal suffering. this is why they are allowed to be used for hunting, which many people do to support their families(2012-2013 Big Game Legal Hunting Equipment). These people survive off their ability to hunt so if you take that from them it becomes far harder for them to make it threw these hard times. That is why they enforce their second amendment right to bear arms-
" A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (US Const).
This right is protected in the constitution so it is hard to tamper with and makes access to guns very hard to restrict. This can be a good thing at times though because whenever there is a time that our train professionals are off duty when violence should occur they can be armed allowing them to react. This is helpful when robberies occur and off duty officers step in. The FBI actually does training just for the quick use of a concealed weapon(FBI). These things defiantly are beneficial to the public weather feeding families or stopping robberies, but they are all done with semiautomatic weapons. This shows that a select few in the population should be able to hold semiautomatic weapons but little more, Because who really needs to shoot 950 bullets in a minute?
The change from common day men to professional killers is very dramatic just like the change from a pump action shotgun to a M4A1. This is why civilians should not be able to gain access to automatic weapons, and why gun control should be implemented. No average person needs weapons of that magnitude it will only bring about accidents, murder and sorrow. Just remember nine five zero, 950 That is how many bullets one person can fire, in one minute, with one weapon.

A$AP Rocky vs. SpaceGhostPurrp
A$AP Rocky said he used to share a dinner plate with Purrp and they were even on one of Rocky's breakout tracks together. Then Purrp said someone from A$AP jumped his "cuzin," and that was the end of that. There's been some Twitter beefin' since and Rocky took a lyrical shot on his Long.Live.A$AP, but now that he's signed — there's levels to this, right? — it's best that he leaves it alone. Besides, Purrp has been wanting to focus on production and get out of the "shady a-- rap game."

New Year's Eve at Walt Disney World
Most 2014 information not yet released, will be updated as it becomes available.
- Walt Disney World Holiday Highlights
- Theme Park Hours
- New Year's Eve Dining Events
- Cirque du Soleil
- Atlantic Dance
- Downtown Disney
2014 info is still being released. So far, we know of two specialty dining events:
Fantasia 2014 - Close out the year at Epcot's World ShowPlace with a tribute to the film Fantasia. The buffet will feature soups, salads, deep-fried turkey breast, mahi mahi, pasta, assorted desserts and fresh fruit. Price is $64.99 for adults and $41.99 for children ages 3-10 (tax and gratuity not included). Available from 4:30-10:30pm on New Year's Eve and can be booked by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
Monsieur Paul is offering a special 4-course meal that begins with champagne for $235 (plux tax and gratuity) and wine pairings can be added for $60. Reservations are taken from noon-6:30pm or 8:45-9:50pm by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
If you plan on visiting a Walt Disney World theme park on New Year's Eve, here are some tips to help make your day as painless as possible:
1) You should arrive early in the morning at the park of your choice and be prepared to spend your entire day there. The parks will reach capacity with no further admittance allowed. Park hopping on New Year's Eve is not recommended.
2) It's a common misconception that guests staying in a Disney Resort are guaranteed admittance into every park. This is not true; as a Disney Resort guest you are promised to gain entrance into a park, but it may not be the park of your choice. Note that having a dining reservation does not mean that you will be allowed in if that park has already reached capacity.
3) For your comfort, arrive early and rent a locker. Should the weather be an issue, you can stow your warm clothes or raingear.
4) If there's an attraction on your "must-do" list, try to make a FastPass+ reservation for it. It's not uncommon to see waits of 2+ hours at the most popular attractions.
5) The parks will have live entertainment throughout the day/evening in addition to special midnight fireworks. Be sure to grab a Times Guide upon entering the park.

An Evansville man is arrested on voyeurism charges.
Evansville Police say 39-year-old Steven Michael Sandleben was arrested on 3 counts of Voyeurism and drug charges.
Police say in August officers responded to a complaint at the Goodwill Store at 4660 W. Lloyd Expressway. The 911 caller told police Sandleben had video taped her 4 year old daughter, including video taping up her skirt.
Investigators went to Sandleben's house and questioned him about what happened, but say there not enough evidence to make an immediate arrest, the investigation continued.
Police say a search warrant was obtained for his apartment and computers and camera equipment was seized.
While examining the electronics, EPD says multiple videos were found of women showing their buttocks and vaginal ares. Police say none of the victims appeared to be aware they were being taped.
Police say the videos were taken in different locations around the Evansville area and say the victims included juveniles and adults.
EPD says Sandleben was arrested earlier this year in May 11 for taping a 14-year-old girl at an east side store and was out on $500 bond when the August investigation began.
Sandleben is now in the Vanderburgh County Jail on $25,000 bond.
Sandleben is charged with 2 counts of Felony Voyeurism, 1 count of Misdemeanor Voyeurism, 1 count of Misdemeanor Possession of Marijuana, and 1 count of Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

necessary for a captain to see every station on the bridge? Kirk's bridge allowed him to do that, but that may have been more of a luxury than an absolute necessity. I think on some real navy ships, the captain's chair is at the front of the bridge with various stations behind it.
It's not really necessary for a captain to see every station on the bridge, but it's more efficient, more pragmatic.
Not really. It truly is more of luxury than a necessity. The more important thing is for a bridge station to be within
of a captain.
I never said the changes were necessary, just said the changes to the bridge made sense because it was more pragmatic.
It's not even pragmatic. It's just something some fans are used to seeing from TOS.

Editor, Have you ever received a gift that stands out in your mind more than others? Last year, 829 people in Georgia received gifts that will always have a great impact on their lives. It was the greatest gift of all - the gift of life. Will you help others receive this great gift?
It appears that Mayor Dr. Clemontine Washington really believes Midway is hers to rule. Midway's charter calls for a weak-mayor/strong-council system, which means the mayor should have no formal authority outside of the council.
For years, I blamed it on those royal-blue suede high-heel pumps. The ones with the ridiculously tall, spiked heel and absurdly pointed toe. I was 22 when I bought them, 36 when I donated them to the Salvation Army.
I don't believe in illness. OK, perhaps I should rephrase that - I don't believe in a minor illness' ability to keep me down. Unless I'm dragging a limb, hospitalized or totally unable to keep food down at all, I refuse to disrupt my ultra-busy daily routine to do silly things like "rest" or "recuperate."
I am not sure that I would make a good spy. I really like to be up-front about things, so I probably would blow my cover.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month in Georgia, as proclaimed by Gov. Nathan Deal. Child abuse is a subject I don't like to think about, let alone write about, and you probably would just as soon not read about. But it is there, and we need to acknowledge it and demand some solutions.
In the Georgia Legislature, even a relatively simple bill can turn into one of the most important pieces of legislation that is considered.
Just a wisp of time elapsed, and the almighty sand-gnat is back with a vengeance. Like a swallow returning to Capistrano or a martin to a gourd, the little varmints are back just in time for the Blessing of the Fleet. They just refuse to give up.
They all come with some kind of a price and all with a certain amount of disappointment, but still, Rodney keeps trying.
Call me an old-timer, but moms and dads just did things differently when I was a child. The overall approach to parenting seems to have changed so much. My parents fostered independence in my siblings and me. They wanted us to learn early on that we needed to be able to speak and do things for ourselves, and the sooner we understood that, the better off we'd be.
Editor, Hmm. I read in the Coastal Courier that Liberty County's government and various cities' political leaders have declared a war on blight. You know - yada, yada, yada.
In 1965, Wilbur Mills, the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, brought legislation establishing Medicare and Medicaid to the floor of the U.S. House.
Even by my impossibly high standards, this has been a good week. It began with a whack upside the head from a reader in South Georgia after I opined that those who want to change the way we teach our children in public schools ought to have their kids in public schools. I was referring to the efforts led by Sen. William Ligon, R-Brunswick, to overturn the Common Core curriculum in the recent legislative session.
Having had time to reflect on the recently completed 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly, it is with great regret that I have to say it was the most embarrassing performance by your state legislature that I can remember.
Our veterans shouldn't need an act of Congress and a presidential signature to get the Veterans Affairs healthcare system up to speed. But that's just what it took.
Whistleblowers, often revered and feared by the Obama administration, have received a special place since the 2011 initiation of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a global transparency campaign. Their prominence is justified. The OGP will become a magnet for cynicism unless there is safe cover for those who will make it work or fail - whistleblowers on the front lines of fraud, waste and abuse currently sustained through secrecy and enforced by repression.
According to the Federal Register, on Dec. 7, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency "found" that current and projected concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations. Unfortunately, this finding and the EPA's subsequent action threaten the health and welfare of current and future generations of Georgians far more than greenhouse gases do.
Just when you thought Washington couldn't get any messier, our elected officials in the nation's capital prove it can.
Dear Georgia public-school teachers, It is new school year but, alas, the same old impediments: an out-of-touch federal bureaucracy, ideological state legislators who choose not to send their kids to public schools but intend to tell you how and what to teach, and a society that values reality television more than quality education. Sometimes, I wonder how you manage.
This week, school bells will ring and the 2014-15 academic year will begin. Some children welcome it, others don't. Parents also likely have mixed feelings about the start of another term.
How do you create positive community change? That is a good question. It is one that the national organization, Keep America Beautiful, has been fine-tuning a solution since the 1950s.
Some missing something or the other required me to prowl through closets at Mama's house. That's when I found it. I pulled it out and smiled broadly, warmed by the memories it evoked.
Editor, According to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, our water source is slowly being polluted with saltwater, and the coastal area of Georgia will have to reduce the amount of water that it pulls from the Floridan aquifer by 17 million gallons a day.
It's depressing to read poll after poll highlighting Americans' utter disdain for Congress. But it's my encounters with ordinary citizens at public meetings or in casual conversation that really bring me up short.
Area schools start classes back this week and next. For both students and educators, the new year brings many challenges.
Editor, I would like to personally thank Fort Stewart EFMP, Reaching Milestones and all the wonderful military and civilian volunteers who came out to support our annual Special Olympics Spring Games. The competition would not have been successful without such tremendous support from the Hinesville and Fort Stewart community.
The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office, and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
Editor, I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the great job that Vicki Davis did when employed as the executive director of the Hinesville Downtown Development Authority. The seven years that she gave to our community opened many doors of opportunity to the Liberty County Community and Area Mass Choir.

GOP's Health Repeal Efforts Fail In The Senate
Listen to the Story
Senate Republicans were unable to move forward with their attempt to repeal the health care overhaul law. Democrats defeated the measure on a party-line vote Wednesday. But GOP leaders promise this is one step in the long road toward taking down the new health law.
Copyright © 2011 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Members of President Reagan's party in the United States Senate made an effort to repeal the healthcare law yesterday. Republicans lost that vote on party lines - 51-47 - but Republicans and Democrats joined together to repeal one small provision in the law. NPR's Audie Cornish reports from Capitol Hill.
AUDIE CORNISH: This is the closest Republicans in the Senate have come to getting a repeal of the healthcare overhaul, and it still wasn't very close. The measure would have waived a budget act requirement so that a repeal could be attached as an amendment to a federal aviation bill. It sounds complicated, but the end result is the same: this attempt at a rollback of the healthcare law failed.
Still, this was no act of symbolism, said Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn.
Senator JOHN CORNYN (Republican, Texas): There's a narrative I've seen and read out there that this is somehow a futile act because Republicans didn't have the votes to repeal Obamacare. But I have to tell you, this is - these are the first steps in a long road that will culminate in 2012.
CORNISH: Earlier in the day on the Senate floor, Democrats railed against the repeal, which got a boost from a federal court decision in Florida this week. Judge Roger Vinson declared the requirement that all citizens buy health insurance unconstitutional. But Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin said the GOP was putting too much stock in such rulings.
Senator DICK DURBIN (Democrat, Illinois): The federal minimum wage law was found unconstitutional by a lower court and then the Supreme Court across the street said no, it's constitutional. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was found unconstitutional by a lower court and then across the street the Supreme Court said constitutional. So let's not get carried away with lower court decisions that are clearly split on this issue.
CORNISH: Democrats stymied the repeal effort on the Senate floor because Congressional Budget Office analysts determine it would increase the deficit. That meant the amendment would need 60 votes the GOP didn't have to get the measure going.
Arizona Republican John McCain argued that it was the healthcare law itself, not the repeal, that would cost taxpayers and that the CBO scores could not be trusted.
Senator JOHN MCCAIN (Republican, Arizona): The Congressional Budget Office makes decisions directly related to the input and the parameters and the details of legislation and how they are sent. So what I'm saying is: garbage in, garbage out.
Senator BARBARA MIKULSKI (Democrat, Maryland): But yet it was the Republican Party that said we couldn't move anything, bring up anything, even go get a Kleenex without getting a CBO score.
CORNISH: Maryland Democrat Senator Barbara Mikulski.
Ms. MIKULSKI: So you can't say I want a CBO score one day and then make fun of it the next - garbage in, garbage out.
CORNISH: Democrats also pointed to another of the day's votes as evidence they're willing to amend the healthcare law. A measure was approved canceling a tax-reporting regulation for businesses. But rehashing the arguments over the healthcare overhaul inspired one legislator to file a resolution calling for the Supreme Court to intervene sooner rather than later. Florida Democrat Bill Nelson says that's the only way to end the debate that will otherwise last for years.

Today, Pete Donohue at the Daily News reported on the role of "transit chaplains" — the 85 religious figures who are on call to counsel train operators in the immediate aftermath of a collision.
Head chaplain Rabbi Harry Berkowitz said he has responded to about 1,600 calls over several decades. He told the Daily News:
Sometimes, I don't even talk about the incident, if they are not ready. I start talking about family, other train operators, anything but that subject matter, just to calm them down a bit, just to get their mind away from it.
I try to divert them, give them a sense of calmness and establish a relationship, a trust.
A New York Times story earlier this month revealed that operators expect to hit someone at least once every five years, and that many face long-term psychological trauma.
