"Cloud has everything to do with what has happened with Big Data," explained Jason Deck, Director of Strategic Alliances at Logicworks, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. "Big Data doesn't exist in its easily accessible way without cloud. From reduced startup costs, to cheap storage, to fast processing, to adequate security, to the easy incorporation of third-party analytics tools, cloud made Big Data accessible to customers of all sizes, with all different budgets."
Cloud Computing Journal: The move to cloud isn't about saving money, it is about saving time. - Agree or disagree?
Jason Deck: The move to cloud is not specifically about money or time. The real value of cloud computing is in giving a business the platform to create real operational agility, so an organization can focus economic and human resources on the most valuable parts of its business. Cloud does save time and it does save money but, above all, it provides a company with agility to respond to its competitors and test out new ideas with minimal risk, all while being certain sensitive data are secure and compliant.
Cloud Computing Journal: How should organizations tackle their regulatory and compliance concerns in the cloud? Who should they be asking/trusting for advice?
Deck: Any organization with compliance mandates should work with a service provider with well-established expertise in maintaining compliant service environments. As security regulations grow ever more complex, expertise in HIPAA and PCI compliance becomes a core competency unto itself. The enterprise end user, whether in healthcare, retail, or financial services, should outsource that expertise to a provider with a proven track record of delivering compliant services. Customers considering service providers for compliant services should be asking hard questions about the audit processes their potential vendors undergo, existing clients with similar requirements, and internal processes - technical and otherwise - implemented to ensure data integrity.
Cloud Computing Journal: What does the emergence of Open Source clouds mean for the cloud ecosystem? How does the existence of OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and so on affect your own company?
Deck: OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus - all of these are simply a means to achieving efficiencies. Open source technology and platforms are another way to get to the same place. It is often the case that the public conversation around these trends misses the forest for the trees. The real value isn't the underlying toolkit - it's the delivery model. Whether hosted private, managed public or any other variation, how a business utilizes and benefits from the cloud they choose is all about delivery.
Cloud Computing Journal: With SMBs, the two primary challenges they face moving to the cloud are always stated as being cost and trust: where is the industry on satisfying SMBs on both points simultaneously - further along than in 2011-12, or...?
Deck: We're definitely further along. SMBs, and all customers for that matter, have learned that you either have a defined cloud strategy or a shadow IT strategy. With either of those paths, you have a cloud migration occurring. The cost of keeping that migration regulated internally is acceptable. The cost of allowing shadow IT to continue is not acceptable.
As for issues of trust, people used to say that they would never put their telephones on an IP network. Well this is 2013, and VoIP is the standard. Trust is the direct outcome of the industry's ongoing demonstration of an effective delivery model. Next year, we'll be further along than we were last year through the increasing visibility of use cases and standardization of best practices.
Cloud Computing Journal: 2013 seems to be turning into a breakthrough year for Big Data. How much does the success of cloud computing have to do with that?
Deck: Cloud has everything to do with what has happened with Big Data. Big Data doesn't exist in its easily accessible way without cloud. From reduced startup costs, to cheap storage, to fast processing, to adequate security, to the easy incorporation of third-party analytics tools, cloud made Big Data accessible to customers of all sizes, with all different budgets.
Cloud Computing Journal: What about the role of social: aside from the acronym itself SMAC (for Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) are you seeing and/or anticipating major traction in this area?
Deck: The SMAC trends point to the fact that business ecosystems are moving toward digital ubiquity. Helping businesses gear their architectures to becoming more agile, to the point of responding to customer feedback and needs quickly is the goal, and social plays a huge role in this. But so do the other attributes that comprise the acronym - I don't think it's a situation where one part is more important than the total approach. Without analytics, social and mobile are not useful. Without cloud, analytics is not possible. The SMAC system is interdependent where the focus is the outcome, not the composite parts. Its importance in the overall scheme is tied to what value a business can create through each aspect as part of a broader approach to smart architecting and engineering processes.
Cloud Computing Journal: To finish, just as real estate is always said to be about "location, location, location", what one word, repeated three times, would you say Cloud Computing is all about? (Example:Scalability, Scalability, Scalability)
Deck: Agility, agility, agility.

Episode Report CardGrade It Now!
Jones heads to some office to ask some administrator about Naomi and Oil Derrick, as if these people have nothing better to do or would even give out information about former students to complete strangers. But the guy's all helpful and smiley until she mentions Naomi's name. He doesn't ask if this is some sick joke, but does suddenly remember that he can't give out information about former students, and ushers Jones out of the office. Jones makes a note of some computer clerk that has watched the entire exchange. Then Jones lurks outside (as if a school would allow that) and confronts the woman when she leaves work for the day. The clerk wonders how Jones heard about the incident with Naomi, because it hasn't been talked about in a long time and never even made the local papers. Jones plays the prole card and natters on about how the rich can get away with anything. The clerk agrees and says she knows all sorts of stories about what goes on at the school. She offers the clerk a cigarette, the international sign of brotherhood for the revolution, and asks the clerk if she'll tell her what the deal is with Naomi. The clerk takes the cigarette and smiles. But don't go thinking we're going to hear the story. Because, really, I think it's much more important to see what Travis is up to right now, don't you? He's taking photographs of his "art," which is amusing, as his "art" is merely reproductions of other photos and images. He seems to derive his inspiration from Xerox, not Picasso. Jones comes stumbling in, demanding to talk to him. Travis tells her he's busy, so she gets his attention by ripping off part of his huge image of Naomi. He's not particularly perturbed, as his "art" is so easily reproduced simply by pressing Control-P. Jones storms over to Oil Derrick's bedroom and tosses open the door. Oil Derrick is reading a book in bed, and Jones imperiously declares that he raped Naomi in high school, and used her and Travis in order to rape her again. Oil Derrick doesn't even get angry at the accusation. He smiles an oily little smile and says they all could use a drink as he gets out of bed. But for once, booze won't soothe Jones. She says she talked to somebody who was there. Oil Derrick inquires who that might be; Jones explains that the clerk told her all about it. Oil Derrick points out that she was taking the word of a complete stranger who had heard something in passing. You know, that mysterious "gossip" thing. So many layers to this film.

Weve just seen a description of what an argument is and why, so now may be a good time to take a look at some things which are not arguments. Premises, propositions and conclusions the pieces of arguments may usually be easy to spot. But arguments themselves arent always so easy, and very often people will offer things which they claim are arguments but definitely are not.
Too often, you will hear something like these:
1. God exists and the Bible is true!
2. Ronald Reagan was the best President we ever had!
3. Global warming is a great danger to life and civilization.
None of these are actually arguments; instead, they are all just assertions. They could be transformed into arguments if the speaker were to offer evidence in support of their claims, but until then we dont have very much to go on. One sign that you just have a strong assertion is the use of the exclamation points.
Arguments vs. Hypotheticals
One common pseudo-argument which you will probably encounter too often is the hypothetical proposition. Consider the following examples:
4. If the Bible is accurate, Jesus was either a lunatic, a liar, or the Son of God.
5. If you want to improve the economy, you have to lower taxes.
6. If we dont act quickly, the environment will be damaged beyond repair.
These all look like arguments and, because of that, it isnt uncommon for them to be offered as if they were arguments. But they arent: they are simply conditional statements of the if-then type. The part following the if is called the antecedent and the part following the then is called the consequent.
In none of the three cases (#4-6) do we see the premises which would supposedly support the conclusion. If you want to try to create a genuine argument when you see such claims, you have to focus on the antecedent of the conditional and ask why it should be accepted as true. You can also ask why there is any connection between the hypothetical in the antecedent and the proposition in the consequent.
To better understand the difference betweeen an argument and a hypothetical proposition, look at these two very similar statements:
7. If today is Tuesday, tomorrow will be Wednesday.
8. Because today is Tuesday, tomorrow will be Wednesday.
Both of these statements express similar ideas, but the second is an argument while the first is not. In the first, we have an if-then conditional (as you can see, sometimes the then is dropped). The author is not asking readers to make any inferences from any premises because it is not being claimed that today is, in fact, Tuesday.
But statement #8 is an argument because today is Tuesday is being offered as a factual premise. From this claim, it is being inferred and we are asked to accept this inference that tomorrow is therefore Wednesday.

(Recasts, adds closing prices)
* ShFE aluminium hits contract low on overcapacity worries
* Investors nervous about more company default in China
* Coming up: FOMC ends meeting, to announce rate decision
LONDON, March 19 (Reuters) - London Metal Exchange (LME) copper rose sharply on Wednesday after the market's drop to its lowest level in more than 3-1/2 years prompted buying from speculators and consumers.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange touched $6,321 a tonne, its lowest since mid-2010, before soaring to $6,584 in intraday trade. It closed at $6,553, up from $6,483 at the close on Tuesday.
In New York, May copper futures followed suit, rose more than 1 percent to $3.995 per lb.
"I can't see any fundamental news that would have done that," BNP Paribas analyst Stephen Briggs said.
"I think it may be internal to the market, somebody assumed copper would go lower and was stopped out. There are hints that might be a possibility."
Dealers said the magnitude of losses earlier in the session had triggered automatic sell orders but that halted as prices pierced $6,376.12, the 3-1/2 year low it hit last week.
"A big speculator or fund, someone who is not afraid to throw some volume about, caught everyone out and drove it back up again," a metals trader said.
"I haven't seen movement like that in copper in a long time. It's got nothing to do with fundamental news."
The market remained nervous, with the looming bankruptcy of a Chinese developer owing billions of yuan to domestic banks again raising credit worries in China after this month's first bond default from a private company.
"They (credit fears) are rumbling along there doing more damage," Briggs said.
He added that while last week's fears that China's copper financing deals would unravel were overdone, they remain a concern. "The credit concerns call into question the scope for increased financing deals in a year which the market is likely to be in surplus," he said.
Still, there is no sign yet that defaults have sparked upheaval in the country's credit markets or that China's frothy real estate sector is about to go into meltdown, even if investors are watching nervously.
In industry news, Jinchuan Group, China's third-largest copper producer, declared force majeure on some copper concentrate purchases after a technical problem that will keep it from hitting a 2014 target of about 400,000 tonnes of copper.
In other metals, aluminium closed at $1,739 a tonne from $1,736 at the close on Tuesday. The contract also hit a month low at $1,704.25 a tonne.
London Metal Exchange data earlier showed aluminium stocks held in warehouses shot up by 280,000 tonnes in one day to touch 5.435 million tonnes, taking them firmly back near recent record highs.
The aluminium contract in Shanghai hit its lowest since its 2005 inception, weighed down by oversupply, and as tighter credit in China takes a toll on demand.
In the other markets, the world's major stock and bond markets were little changed ahead of comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen at the conclusion of the Fed's two-day policy meeting.
Elsewhere, worries about Western sanctions against Russia for its move to annex the Crimea region in Ukraine, combined with a halt to Indonesian ore supplies spurred LME nickel prices to an 11-month peak of $16,385 a tonne.
Nickel closed at $16,325 a tonne from $16,190 at the close on Tuesday.
China's supplies could potentially be cut further thanks to the production problem at Jinchuan, the country's top nickel producer.
LME lead closed at $2,077 a tonne from $2,069.50 and tin closed at $23,225 from $23,170. Zinc, untraded at the close, was last bid at $1,962 per tonne from $1,979.
The global lead market was in deficit by 31,000 tonnes in January, while the global zinc market was in a 61,000 tonne deficit, a monthly bulletin from Lisbon-based International Lead and Zinc Study Group (ILZSG) showed on Wednesday.

Longport commissioners noncommittal on Seaview Harbor annexation bid
Written by Nanette LoBiondo Galloway Thursday, March 20, 2014 01:57 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
LONGPORT ŌĆō Egg Harbor Township officials came here to ask whether Longport is interested in annexing Seaview Harbor ŌĆō which has filed a petition to secede from the township and join Longport ŌĆō and the answer they received is that itŌĆÖs too soon to say.
At the boroughŌĆÖs March 19 meeting, Egg Harbor Township Administrator Peter Miller asked the Board of Commissioners to decide now if Longport would annex Seaview Harbor should its bid to secede succeed.
During the public portion of the meeting, Miller said that investigating the wealthy bayfront neighborhoodŌĆÖs petition to leave Egg Harbor Township and join Longport would cost the parties more than $500,000 for reports and legal fees and take three to five years to complete. ThatŌĆÖs an expense the Township Committee doesnŌĆÖt want to incur should Longport later refuse to accept Seaview Harbor as part of its municipality, Miller said.
ŌĆ£If Longport does have an interest in acquiring Seaview Harbor from Egg Harbor Township, they should make that known. If you have no interest in acquiring Seaview Harbor, I think you should allow us all to know that so both parties do not end up spending more than a half-million dollars,ŌĆØ Miller said. ŌĆ£If voters are given the opportunity to weigh in, we request that Longport does that as soon as possible.ŌĆØ
The Seaview Harbor Realignment Committee filed a petition with the Egg Harbor Township Planning Board Feb. 18 to leave the township and join Longport, which already provides the neighborhood with police, fire and ambulance service. Sixty-nine people, representing 80 percent of the registered voters in Seaview Harbor, signed the petition. A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for the boardŌĆÖs March 31 meeting.
The 1960s subdivision, which lies west of the Longport bridge, has 93 homes, a restaurant and 300 boat slips valued at more than $100 million. Russo has said previously that annexing Seaview Harbor could result in a tax rate reduction of 4 or 5 cents in Longport.
Miller said a three-step process would determine if the secession bid is successful. The community has already taken the first step by requesting realignment of Egg Harbor TownshipŌĆÖs borders. Now the governing body has to decide if it will permit it. Then Longport officials must decide if they will accept the community as part of the borough.
ŌĆ£Egg Harbor TownshipŌĆÖs answer is no to losing part of its community. What if the situation were reversed?ŌĆØ Miller asked.
He told the commissioners that if Longport accepts Seaview Harbor, it would immediately ŌĆ£get a bill for $3.5 millionŌĆØ ŌĆō Seaview HarborŌĆÖs share of Egg Harbor TownshipŌĆÖs outstanding debt.
Longport Mayor Nicholas Russo and Commissioner Dan Lawler said they attended an informational meeting with Seaview Harbor residents.
ŌĆ£The only way that any of this would make sense is if it made sense financially,ŌĆØ Russo said. ŌĆ£No municipality wants added burdens. The commission has made it clear that before we make a decision, we have to do our own fact finding and not rely on statistical data that Seaview Harbor would present us.ŌĆØ
Russo said residents of Longport should be the ones who decide if they want to have Seaview Harbor as part of their community.
ŌĆ£If this a good idea, then Longport voters will know itŌĆÖs a good idea. If this a bad idea, then Longport voters will know itŌĆÖs a bad idea,ŌĆØ he said.
Lawler said he was not ready to make a decision, but if itŌĆÖs left up to the voters, it should be done ŌĆ£sooner rather than later.ŌĆØ
Longport attorney Pat Agnellini said the borough has taken no stance on the issue, nor has it commissioned a study because it doesnŌĆÖt want to spend any money on reports or a referendum so early in the process.
ŌĆ£The way the law is set up, we weigh in on this at the end of the process,ŌĆØ Agnellini said. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs going to be a lot of money spent on this, and at the end of the day, if the residents of Longport decide they donŌĆÖt want this, that money would have been spent for naught.ŌĆØ
Miller suggested that the borough pursue a nonbinding referendum in the November general election, saying future administrators would not be bound by the results.
The commission took no action on MillerŌĆÖs request.
Russo said MillerŌĆÖs attendance at the meeting was unexpected but thanked him for attending.

Rules and regulations
Before tackling our recommended systems, we should explain some of the rules and guidelines we used to select components. The guiding philosophy behind our choices was to seek the best bang for the buck. That means we avoided recommending super-cheap parts that are barely capable of performing their jobs, just as we avoided breathtakingly expensive products that carry a hefty price premium for features or performance you probably don't need. Instead, we looked to that mythical "sweet spot" where price and performance meet up in a pleasant, harmonic convergence. We also sought balance within each system configuration, choosing components that make sense together, so that a fast processor won't be bottlenecked by a skimpy graphics card or too little system memory, for instance. The end result, we hope, is a series of balanced systems that offer decent performance as configured and provide ample room for future expandability.
We confined our selections to components that are currently available online. Paper launches and preorders don't count, for obvious reasons. We also tried to stick to $500, $1000, and $1500 budgets for our desktop systems. Those budgets are loose guidelines rather than hard limits, to allow us some wiggle room for deals that may stretch the budget a little but are too good to resist.
We've continued our tradition of basing the guide's component prices on listings at Newegg. We've found that sourcing prices from one large reseller allows us to maintain a more realistic sense of street prices than price search engine listings, which are sometimes artificially low. In the few cases where Newegg doesn't have an item in stock, we'll fall back to our trusty price search engine rather than limit our options.
Finally, price wasn't the top factor in our component choices. Our own experiences with individual components weighed heavily on our decisions, and we've provided links to our own reviews of many of the products we're recommending. We've also tried to confine our selections to name-brand rather than generic products, and to manufacturers with solid reputations for reliability. Warranty coverage was an important consideration, as well.

Italian writer-director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio, who cared and cooked for his 93-year-old mother and her elderly friends in his delightful 2010 entrée Mid-August Lunch, returns with a wry new comedy. Here the sad-sack auteur, age 60 and lonely (despite a wife and mother), decides to spice up his retirement with an extramarital affair—if he can first get a woman to notice him. "Rueful, funny and wise…A warm yet melancholy film of quiet yet inescapable charm." –The L.A. Times.

Like its predecessor, Zork II plays like any other text adventure: there are no graphics - only text - and the player types commands such as "lift cage" or "examine robot".

Customer Reviews of SanDisk ImageMate Multi-Card USB 2.0 Reader/Writer
If you have an Apple Computer3/17/2012
This is a must for those who have an Apple Laptop and want to edit your photographs. This allows me to download pictures from my camera to be edited or make slide shows with. A great product that is bullet proof. Extends the use and value of your lapatop.
Love it!10/9/2010
Wanted a reader for my new sdhc cards and read that this was the fastest one available. I can't confirm if it is the fastest but it IS fast. I was worried that my girlfriend was going to hate it because in the pictures the stand makes it look about the size of a portable hard drive. I was wrong about that! It is about the size of a DAT tape. Sorry, I can't think of a more common item to compare it to, but look at the specs for the actual size. I gave 4 stars for Value because for the what I paid I could get 3 Rosewill readers that are also rated very good but buy.com is charging half what this unit costs at the local office store.
Fast, small, not multimedia4/7/2009
I love the design, very fast and the little tripod is kind of funny. It loads the new SD HC cards (8GB and 16 GB) with not problem. I just wish that it was able to hold micro cards, so don't expect to insert the mini/microSD without an adapter. Overall I love it.
I bought this because I heard it was fast. HDTune rates it at 19MB/s but it seems even faster than that when I copy pictures off of my SD card with it. It has a great design, perfect size (any smaller and I would have trouble finding it). It uses the standed miniUSB connector and comes with the cable. My only complaint is that sometimes it is a little tough to insert the SD card but that is not a big deal.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Information About the Area from our Experts
MyApartmentMap Neighborhood Expert - Property Manager
I've been noticing that a lot of my clients who want to settle in LoDo are much younger than they used to be; it's definitely become a great area for young professionals. And because of this, the nightlife in LoDo is thriving. There are lounges, nightclubs, bars and pubs, and great restaurants. On any given Friday or Saturday the neighborhood's streets are overflowing with people looking for a great time. I mentioned that young professionals have been migrating to the area, but even the older crowds are finding great spots to spend their weekends. LoDo's nightlife is the epitome of the excitement that allures people to city life, and will continue to grow as Denver does too.
MyApartmentMap Neighborhood Expert - Property Manager
The Lower District is probably the most historic area of Denver, as it preserves artifacts and buildings from other periods like the Gold Rush and the Industrial Era. There are walking tours of the neighborhood that are held for visitors every day. As for locals, they enjoy the district's restaurants and shopping, and convenient access to Denver's Union Station. They're also able to experience Downtown Denver's offerings, from nightlife to concerts to sporting events. For those who want to get involved in the community, LoDo Cares is a volunteer organization that focuses on improving the neighborhood with beautification projects, supporting assisted living centers, and more. LoDo has a very urban and centralized location in Denver, but still maintains a great sense of community.

It is indeed astonishing how quickly the time passes. It appears as if it was only yesterday when Lawrence and Mayo, Kota came into being with a handful of students, in a limited space. Standing in sharp contrast with the scenario today, we have a conglomeration of students and teachers, who have shown exemplary performance on this ever-onward journey in the pursuit of excellence in education.
Our Belief
A student does not have to be a genius to come here or wealthy or a star athlete. In fact, we make students realize their hidden potential, inherent talents and assist them to reach for their goals.
The world awaits you!!!!!

Temple Elementary School95 Otis St, Temple, GA 30179
(770) 562-3076 Additional Contacts
Temple Elementary is a public elementary school serving students in pre-k through grade four. According to an oral history given by Mrs. Dorothy Burton-Calloway, the original school, built in 1888, consisted of only one small classroom. As the community grew, so did the school. In 1946, a group of African Americans dismantled military barracks in South Carolina and transported the lumber to Temple to build an eleven-room structure that became Providence High School. Later, it became a junior high school. After desegregation, the structure was renamed Temple Elementary. In 1958, the site was moved, and the main structure, which remains, was built. There have been many additions to the school since 1958. Today, the school campus includes three permanent structures, a gymnasium and seventeen mobile classrooms. Plans have been approved to add eight additional classrooms and a new cafeteria. The current cafeteria will provide space for four additional classrooms. Fifth grade students will return to Temple Elementary after the construction is complete. Mission: The mission of Temple Elementary School is to provide a quality education to a diverse population of students, meeting each child at his/her level of instruction by utilizing a variety of research based materials and curriculum. Vision: Our children will become life-long learners and productive members of society.

LeBron, Carmelo opt out: Hawks an option? (Updated)
- 10:12 am Tuesday, June 24th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
(Updated below with link to full column on MyAJC.)
We have known for a few days that Carmelo Anthony will opt out of his contract with the New York Knicks. He's available.
Now we learn from his agent Rich Paul that LeBron James has told the Miami Heat that he will trigger the early termination of his contract and also hit the open market. And soon, we will hear the words, "I am taking my talents to . . ."
Marietta Street?
Should it be considered so far-fetched that the Hawks can land a high-profile free agent like James or Anthony? I know: [More]
Hawks' assistant Snyder may get Utah job
- 10:28 am Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff did one of the better coaching jobs in the NBA this season. The ripple effect of that might be him losing one of his assistant coaches.
Quin Snyder, a long-time pro assistant and a former head coach at Missouri and in the NBA's D-League, has emerged as a leading candidate for the head coaching job of the Utah Jazz.
When asked about Snyder's candidacy Tuesday, Hawks general manager Danny Ferry responded via email, "They asked for permission to talk with him and he is a part of Utah's continued process to fill the job there."

Holiday 6-pack: Will Nats close on Braves?
- 12:01 pm Monday, May 26th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
Good morning. This is the day to celebrate our true heroes. Memorial Day began as a day to honor the soldiers who died in the Civil War but now serves to recognize all Americans who died while in the military. This isn't a day for politics. To borrow from Mark Twain: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it."
And now, on the backside of this barbecue weekend, a six-pack of thoughts on a six-pack of teams:

The Braves are showing signs of coming out of their offensive rut, [More]
Paul George was on court: Your move, NBA (update: no suspensions)
- 9:46 am Friday, May 2nd, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
This should be fodder for NBA conspiracy theorists: Would the NBA actually suspend Indiana's Paul George for a seventh game of a playoff series?
UPDATE: The answer is no. The NBA has decided to not suspend any players for Game 7. Can't say that's a surprise.
If you missed it, George and teammate Rasaul Butler left the bench in the Hawks-Pacers first-round playoff game Thursday night during an altercation between the Hawks' Mike Scott and Indiana's George Hill. Video shows Butler coming much farther onto the court than George, who took two steps onto the court before both players were held [More]
Sterling banned but this should've happened long ago
- 2:44 pm Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
Here's the good news: NBA commissioner Adam Silver, just three months on the job, issued a lifetime ban to the NBA's longest-tenured owner, Donald Sterling of the Los Angeles Clippers, for racist statements.
Here's the unfortunate news: Silver, a long-time NBA executive, denied the league has ever considered Sterling to have racist or "hateful" tendencies, at one point saying, "I've never seen anything in his behavior to support these views."
There's an acronym for this: C.Y.A.
Silver and the NBA should be commended for doing the right thing: Sterling was given a lifetime ban and fined $2.5 million, the maximum allowed by the [More]
Hawks' Levenson would support Sterling's exit
- 12:48 pm Monday, April 28th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
It has been two days and we're still waiting for a flat-out denial from Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling that it was his voice on a secretly recorded conversation in which he revealed himself (again) as a racist. There has been only a non-denial/denial from team president Andy Roeser, whose statement read, in part: "Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings."
Nowhere in the 176-word statement were the words, "He didn't say it."
Given Sterling has been accused of racial and gender [More]
Short takes: Pacers' intensity, Hawks' mistakes key loss
- 5:27 pm Saturday, April 26th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
I'll be back soon on the Hawks' 91-88 loss to the Indiana Pacers, which evened the playoff series at 2-2. Until then, here are my three "Short Takes" on the game:
UPDATE: Here's a link to the full subscription column.
1. WAKE-UP CALL? This wasn't necessarily a dominating performance by Indiana. They were being steam-rolled by the Hawks in the second quarter — 19-8 to open the quarter, including 15-2 in one stretch — and David West and Paul George both missed consecutive free throws down the stretch. But the Pacers finally showed a heartbeat in Game 4, and that could [More]
5 thoughts on Hawks (Pacers may bench Hibbert)
- 6:39 pm Friday, April 25th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
How's this for irony? On a day Indianapolis coach Frank Vogel was given the Rudy Tomjanovich Award from the Pro Basketball Writers Association, recognizing his excellence and cooperation with the media, he wasn't in a terribly expansive mood.
"No," Vogel responded when asked if he had any update on lineup decisions. "Find out tomorrow."
When asked again if he was still considering changes (read: benching center Roy Hibbert) Vogel again responded, "Find out tomorrow."
OK, he was cooperative. Just not transparent.
Some thoughts going into Game 4 on Saturday, with the Hawks leading the best-of-seven series 2-1:
1. WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED: By winning Game [More]
3 reasons why Hawks can push Indiana
- 9:23 am Thursday, April 17th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
The Hawks made the playoffs, which means the team that has no real chance to win the NBA title or probably even a postseason series will not be in the draft lottery or draft higher than 15th (barring a trade).
In most circumstances, the draft wouldn't be a talking point on the eve of the playoffs. But the Hawks' organization has made it no secret that tomorrow is a bigger priority than today at this stage of their building project and, well, it's hard to dispute that mindset.
But the playoff series against Indiana isn't without some significance. Here are three reasons [More]
Inaction shows Hawks care more about future than collapse
- 11:02 am Thursday, February 20th, 2014 by Jeff Schultz
It was back in late December when Hawks center Al Horford suffered a torn pectoral muscle, almost certainly ending his season. The team's record then: 16-13.
Most of what has happened since has been predictable. The Hawks pulled together for several weeks in an effort to prevent the bottom from falling out of their schedule. They went 9-8 in the first 17 games without Horford. But now they're running on fumes. They dropped five straight going into the All-Star break, and have come out of it with consecutive losses to Indiana and Washington.
This is what it looks like when a team [More]

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I picked the dark red background as my wedding colors were red & white. Not only were these cards beautiful with the font I picked, but the quality was superb. And the delivery was prompt & timely..."
"I made this card say Thank You on the front instead of our names and it will work great for our wedding guests. It matches the rest of what I purchased and is very elegant."
"Even though we simply loved our invitations design ("Floral Refinement"), we decided to chose a different design for the Thank You cards. We picked this card because of its simplicity and whimsical charm, and when the order arrived, we knew we made the right choice. The paper is nice and textured, and the quality of the printing is just wonderful. We chose the brown ink and it has a very warm, rich tone. Overall, a great design, lovely card and a great way to thank our family and friends."
"Very simple, but nice. We wanted everything to match, so we got the thank yous to go with the invites, etcetera. Great quality."
