those of you who have read all his posts know what i mean... is he for real??? i for one hope not.. he claims to be from Scotland which i seriously doubt... For a start, his education is dubious if he had any at all and as everyone knows Scotland has one of the finest education systems in the world.. I can believe he is an old fart with a BG thai wife from the sticks that he met in Pattaya... and i do believe his fav hobby is watching pussy (sorry, 'nightlife') in Pattaya...
reading his posts, i don't even think he is a native speaker... he just can't seem to write anything with decent structure, punctuation or grammar... if he is a troll then i congratulate him on a very successful wind-up... if for real then i reckon he should get on with his sad little life and stay clear of the forum... especially leave the newbies alone...
so... is he real or a troll??? your opinions please... (ice if you must.. )

Since I have read his garbage in your thread and another thread and it is exactly the same, he is definitely a troll.
My guess he is smearing the real ADS because he was rejected for a position at the Muslim school.

I believe rogerman has a good theory on the man and his multiple usernames.
Faith, by itself, isn't a good enough reason to believe. Instead, a belief must be defensible through reason, logic, and evidence.
The idea that faith is somehow justified by the fact that the beliefs cannot be proven is a truly Orwellian position to adopt - not to mention intellectually and ethically dangerous.
good theory and a plausible explanation... i could believe that... if this is indeed the scenario then it would be only fair for someone to inform the real ADS and give him the chance to come on board and clear his name..Originally Posted by zazel

I'm hoping he's a troll, but like Well - for entertainment value it would be kind of disappointing if he was.
He's alreay been banned....if it had been up to most other mods he'd have already been given the chop afer his first thread activity, but I wanted to see what he'd do next, and what that was seemed far too troll-like. The avatar purported to be himself, so if he wanted himself to be in it, why choose such a randomly distant photo. My theory is that it was a disgruntled ex-employee of his, who got "disciplined one too many times".
The spelling, the consistently negative comments on multiple threads....it just started singing "TROLL" to me. The problem with this is that if there's a genuine ADS (which there is), it's not exactly fair for him to be misrepresented on here.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms have arrested a man for running a high tech marijuana growing business. They also confiscated $175,000 worth of pot.
Authorities said Friday that investigators seized more than 100 marijuana plants from a house that had been converted for growing marijuana. The estimated street value of the plants is $100,000.
The house was specially wired to accommodate 14 high-output lights needed to keep the marijuana growing.
Detectives found an additional $75,000 worth of pot at the home of 26-year-old Bill Vo.
Vo was arrested for possession of marijuana with the Intent to distribute, as well as cultivation of marijuana.

A car thief in Lake County arrested after driving the stolen vehicle to the Lake County Sheriff's parking lot.
A Painesville Township woman reported her husband's truck was stolen from their Dunbar Court driveway just before 7 a.m. Thursday morning. The woman said her husband was warming the truck before leaving for work, when a man stole the truck from the driveway.
She said her husband was attempting to follow the suspect in another vehicle. Lake County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to the area as the thief was reported to be heading into Painesville City.
As a lieutenant was getting ready to pull out of the Sheriff's Office parking lot, he heard tires squealing.
The lieutenant then observed a truck approaching west bound on Mentor Avenue operating recklessly. The driver of this vehicle apparently observed the lieutenant and proceeded to abruptly pull into the Sheriff's Office parking, traveled over a landscape island in the lot and then bailed out of the stolen truck.
The suspect - identified as 33-year-old Christopher E. Haller of Painesville Township - was arrested and charged with Motor Vehicle Theft.
The vehicle owner retrieved his stolen truck from the Sheriff's Office a short time later.

1. NEW HEAD COACH - I think it is apparent that we need a NEW HEAD COACH. I don't know who but one that knows how to use his damn players.
2. SOLVE QB PROBLEM - We have Young. I know that he isn't the best of quarterbacks and that he isn't that mature but the guy wins. It doesn't matter how but he gets the job done. And if Bud Adams somehow loses his faith in Young in the upcoming months, trade up in the draft and draft a legit franchise qb.
3. GET RID OF CHRIS HOPE - He isn't getting the job done. Simple as that.
4. NEW CENTER - Eugene Amano makes too much mistakes. I still wish we resigned Mawae.
5. RANDY MOSS - What was the point of signing him and NOT playing him. I wish that Fisher is gone and we resign Moss. He would actually play the WHOLE game. Imagine him and Britt. 2 big and physical receivers. And Nate Washington in the slot brings speed. BUT this is only if he wants to come back which I doubt even though he said he wants to.
6. STEPPING UP ON DEFENSE - Since Bulluck went to the Giants, I haven't seen anyone step up and become a vocal leader on defense.
7. RESIGN JASON BABIN - 2nd in the league in sacks with 12.5. NUFF SAID.
8. HEALTHY DERRICK MORGAN - He was our 16th pick in the 2010 which means this guy is good. I wonder what he will do next year.
9. BIG BACKUP FOR CJ2K - Remember Smash and Dash?? Lendale punched in multiple touchdowns on the goal line backing up CJ. And we all know what Blount is doing right now. CJ can't force his way into the endzone and take lots of beatings. I say we bring back Lendale White.
10. BEAT THE COLTS TWICE - Beating the Colts twice will be a big help getting into the playoffs. I think if we can beat the Colts twice, we can ultimately win the division.
11. O - LINE - What has happened to the line?? Does two years really make a big difference. Just in 08 they were amazing!!

Frederick_A case of teenage bullying in Frederick has turned into one of the worst cases of child abuse local law enforcement has ever investigated. Police say three teenage boys face felony charges after they forced a mentally and physically handicapped boy to eat feces.
Investigators believe it happened in the town's Rotary Park.
As if the crime is not bad enough, officers say one of the boys recorded video of the ordeal with his cell phone. The victim is 14, but because of his disability, his mental capacity is that of a young child.
Police say he's a nice boy who often rides his bike around and tries to be friends with everyone, even the boys who investigators say did an awful thing to him.
The investigation began this week when police received a call from the school resource officer at Frederick High School.
A student reportedly heard about a disgusting video another 15-year-old student had recorded. Police tracked down that boy's parents, and asked to take a look at the teen's cellphone, where they found two archived videos.
"One of those showed three juvenile males intimidating a mentally and physically handicapped child into consuming his own feces," said Sgt. Scott Skinner, Frederick Police.
After watching the video, investigators determined the incident happened on a bridge in Frederick's Rotary Park. Judging by the tree foliage at the time they believe it happened some time last fall.
Sgt. Skinner says the second video shows the suspects verbally bullying the handicapped victim. All the while...
Police say the video was so bad they did not know what to charge the boys with originally. After conferring with the district attorney's office, they decided on felony child abuse and conspiracy to commit child abuse.
The two 15-year-olds were arrested at Frederick High School and the 14-year-old at the middle school.
Skinner says the boys showed little remorse, and thought the incident was funny.
They were booked into the Tillman County jail and then taken to the juvenile detention center in Comanche County.
We heard some rumors they may have posted video of the ordeal on the internet, but police say they found no evidence of that.
They do believe the boys may have shown the video to other people since it happened last fall, but again we're told nobody alerted police or school officials until this week.

CANTON, GA - (WTOC) More disturbing details are being released about a grisly crime against a 7-year-old girl. Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agents found the body of Jorelys Rivera not far from her Canton, Ga. apartment complex. She had been beaten to death. Crews had searched for the girl since she vanished from a playground on Friday. All the searching led them to a dumpster a quarter mile from the apartments. That is where they confirmed her parents worst fears.
"A 7-year-old girl was abducted, sexually assaulted and her body was dumped. Child death is a terrible thing and for a child to be killed in such a horrible way. This is the worst thing that can happen to a human being," said Vernon Keenan, GBI.
At this time, investigators have no suspects but they are still searching for clues.

CNN Tries to Dismiss Breitbart Story, Soledad O'Brien Tells Critics to 'Stop Tweeting' Her
Last week, CNN's Soledad O'Brien got into a heated debate with Breitbart.com's Joel Pollak over his story tying then-law student Barack Obama to radical professor Derrick Bell. O'Brien insisted that neither Bell nor his critical race theory was radical, and then hosted an Emory Law professor on Monday to debunk Pollak's story.
The CNN host has clearly expressed her support for Professor Bell but has failed to answer for bizarre statements and writings of his that exude radicalism. She simply teed up a professor of critical race theory (CRT) to explain how normal it actually is. [Video below the break.]
"No, it's nothing about white supremacy," Professor Dorothy Brown asserted of CRT, refuting Pollak's charges that critical race theory was "all about" it. However, as Rightsphere noted, she now must defend her previous explanation of critical race theory which clearly includes an interpretation of white supremacy in law.
Brown unloaded on Pollak's story, calling it a "smear tactic" and adding that he "wasn't going to be persuaded by the facts. He was going to make his own facts up."
O'Brien told off her critics at the end of the segment. "See? That was our critical race theory 101. Stop tweeting me. We have moved on, people," Soledad insisted condescendingly.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on March 12 on Starting Point at 8:32 a.m. EST, is as follows:
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Alright, so it started there and it kind of went downhill from there. Let's bring in Dorothy Brown. She's a professor of law at Emory University and she teaches critical race theory. She literally wrote the book by that same name. Derrick Bell wrote the preface to the second edition of that book. It's nice to see you. I'm going to have you just walk us through the whole conversation. So first of all, give us a 101, in terms that we can understand. What exactly is critical race theory?
DOROTHY BROWN, Professor of Law, Emory University: Critical race theory seeks to explain judicial decisions by asking the question what does race have to do with it? It's that simple, that straightforward. There's no hidden conspiracy theory behind it. It looks at race in America. And we know through our history that race has had a lot to do with judicial decisions and statutes.
O'BRIEN: Okay, so then when we had that conversation, which you were just listening to – and it went on and on and on for like, at least 10 minutes – one of the things you heard Mr. Pollak say, he said it's – critical race theory is all about white supremacy. That's the chunk that we just played. So you're a professor, you teach this theory. You've written a book about it. Is it all about white supremacy?
BROWN: No, it's nothing about white supremacy. When I hear white supremacy I think of the Ku Klux Klan. Critical race theory is the opposite of that. So honestly, I have no idea what he was talking about.
O'BRIEN: So when you look at the Wikipedia entries – and did you know after – from the time we've done that back and forth to, to I guess today, the Wikipedia entry has been changed 82 times.
O'BRIEN: (Unintelligible) – which, by the way, I haven't touched the Wikipedia entry. And I have other stuff to do. Are you surprised that there is this parsing of the Wikipedia? Is it a theory that is so nuanced that there are various interpretations of it?
BROWN: I would say there are various interpretations to this extent. There are lots of critical race theorists that are at different ends of the critical race theory spectrum. So if you got five of us in a room, we might get into a fight about what critical race theory was, but no one would say it's about white supremacy. We agree on that.
O'BRIEN: Alright, so Mr. Pollak also said that the theory holds that, quote, "the civil rights movement was a sham," and in one of the conversations we had we talked about how Derrick Bell was criticized by some black leaders and he also was critical of them. Would he also have said that the civil rights movement was a sham or that Brown vs. Board of Ed was a sham?
BROWN: He wouldn't say it was a sham. But he has been very critical of civil rights cases like Brown vs. Board of Education. And his argument – Professor Bell's argument – was the solution did not get the children what the children needed. So perhaps the lawyers in the cases didn't spend enough time talking to the parents. So Professor Bell's argument is, you know, maybe if we had gotten fully funded separate but equal, that might have been a better alternative to what we have today.
O'BRIEN: Okay, when you look at Breitbart.com, this is one other thing that's written. "We can see the clear footprint of CRT" – critical race theory – "all over the Obama administration." Because, of course, this theory was really a conversation that – they were trying to connect it to President Obama's embrace of Derrick Bell, who, of course, was one of the founders of this theory. It goes on to say "President Obama obviously believes the system is unjust, upholding racism and requiring 'community organizing' to change it in earth-shaking ways." Do you, in fact, see a footprint of CRT all over the Obama administration, which we're several years in now?
BROWN: No. I see no footprints. I see no vapors. I see none of critical race theory in President Obama, either his writings or what he's actually done in office. I'm dumbstruck by that statement.
O'BRIEN: So what do you think's going on here? Because the conversation – and I know you've read the transcript of our back-and-forth. I think we have also have it online so anyone who's missed it can go back on. What is going on, do you believe? Because it got very heated.
BROWN: Yes, I believe what's going on is the person that was on your show wasn't going to be persuaded by the facts. He was going to make his own facts up. So when he makes statements like that, there's no evidence in support of it. He talks about, if I recall, the attorney general's office doing something but it wasn't anything specific. So I look at this as a smear tactic.
O'BRIEN: Derrick Bell died last year. I think he was in his 80s, early 80s, I believe. What do you think – I mean you know, I never knew the guy. I just read his book, I thought it was pretty – "Ethical Ambition." I thought that was a pretty good book. What did you – what do you think he would think of all this? Do you think he would be turning over in his grave right now or do you think he'd not care?
BROWN: I think Derrick would be laughing right now for a number of reasons, one of which is this is just silly. The second of which is, wow, he'd say, critical race theory has gone mainstream. They're talking about us. For all of his life people didn't talk about critical race theory. God rest his soul. He's passed on. We're now talking about critical race theory and Derrick Bell being the founder of critical race theory.
O'BRIEN: Yeah, well he's not on the receiving end of the crazy tweets that I've been getting about critical race theory as well.
BROWN: I'm sure not.
O'BRIEN: Thank you for joining us this morning. We certainly appreciate it.
BROWN: Thank you for having me.
O'BRIEN: See? That was our critical race theory 101. Stop tweeting me. We have moved on, people.

In the original segment with Joel Pollack from Breitbart, I was astounded at how fast Soledad O'Brien became unhinged in her defense of Obama and attack of the substance of the story. Who the F is she? The official White House spokesperson at CNN? CNN actually calls her a "news anchor" in her bio on their website. Is this what a news anchor does in 2012?? Aggressively defend the president and attack his critics? What the hell kind of journalism is that? I guess it's is the so called "mainstream" media. Pathetic. Not to mention damaging to the country.

write about Critical RACE Theory - covering the subject of white racism in jurisprudence; and then explain how you were calling the white race racists while not actually calling the white race racists; at the very least insinuating that whites were/are engaged in the practice of racism related to the formation of laws affecting blacks; but stating unequivocally that whites are either misinterpreting what has been written by blacks about blacks; or that whites are ignoring the heinous practices that took place in the past.

Pray tell Soledad, where did Obama get that idea "the police acted stupidly?" Which racist mentor would we be talking about, Jeremiah Wright (of the last 20 years) or Derrick Bell (of the 1980s).
Would that be the same Derrick Bell whose racist writings were "required reading" when Obama taught his classes as a so called "professor" at University of Chicago? Hmmm, no wonder the teaching staff thought Obama incompetent. His time at U of C was characterized as…LAZY and UNQUALIFIED by actual professors who saw his performance.
BTW- We are still waiting on why he surrendered his license to practice law back in 2008...

Well, as I said before, me saying "retarded" was never, ever intended to be aimed at person's who are in fact mentally retarded. It was aimed at you and your intransigent attitude and speech. That being said, don't ever bring this matter up to me again. I am done debating with you on this.
"Apparently it has a great deal of meaning to you, or else you would NOT be on here day after day, whining in various threads about your same nonsense.
You are a hypocrite...and a know-it-all, who is incapable of debating, because of your own arrogance."
Stop with your pseudo-wanna-be-psychologist rhetoric. For someone who is constantly on here griping day in and day out about Detroit and it's citizens you've really got some nerve. You seem to follow me from one thread to another to talk about the "inherent" badness of black people. As far as being a "know-it-all" well, that's what you say. You must think I am or something. I know I'm not and don't claim to be. Get that out of your head.
" Anonymity on the internet is a must, for the simple fact that nutjobs like you, could not ever have a civil debate or discussion. The cowards who hide in the shadows, like the animals in cities like Detroit, are incapable of logical and rational discussion, and extend their animistic nature in a hidden and indefensible way."
Very true. Internet anonymity is a must. Especially for all the wack jobs. People who are truly incapable of logical, rational discussions.

Police say this is a DWI investigation and charges are pending after test results and further investigation is completed.

Mikaeel mother returns to court
3:22am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The mother of three-year-old Mikaeel Kular will appear in court for a second time today charged with his murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
The boy's body was discovered in Fife on Friday January 17, the day after he was reported missing from his home in the Drylaw area of Edinburgh.
Rosdeep Kular, 33, was charged under her married name of Adekoya when she made her initial appearance at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last Monday.
She made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody during the brief private hearing before Sheriff Frank Crowe.
She is expected to return to the court this afternoon for another procedural hearing in private.

It was only a matter of time before Rupert Murdoch's opinionated Twitter feed was going to get the media mogul into trouble (again).
The outspoken Murdoch, owner of News Corp. and staunch Israel supporter, sparked controversy on Twitter Saturday when he suggested the "Jewish owned" media were being unnecessarily critical during the current crisis in Gaza.
Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?—
Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) November 18, 2012
The tweet was retweeted over 1,000 times and spurred a backlash, mostly in Twitter's typical rolled-eyes tone. Another Murdoch tweet on Saturday, in which he asked "Can't Obama stop his friends in Egypt shelling Israel?" was also widely mocked among political watchers.
I think Rupert is drunk tweeting tonight. "@rupertmurdoch: Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?"—
Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 18, 2012
Whatever Rupert Murdoch is smoking I want some. twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/…—
Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 18, 2012
Murdoch soon responded with a convoluted apology, in which it seemed he was sorry for offending Jewish reporters, without actually revoking his previous comment. The original tweet has not been removed.
",Jewish owned press" have been sternly criticised, suggesting link to Jewish reporters. Don't see this, but apologise unreservedly.—
Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) November 18, 2012
.@BuzzFeedAndrew Obviously he was forced to apologize by the Jewish-owned press.—
Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) November 19, 2012
Michael Wolff wrote in The Guardian said he believes Murdoch was referring to The New York Times but also suggested Murdoch, 81, has an attitude about Jews that comes from the bygone era Murdoch grew up in.
"There is, among the people around, including the many Jews around him, a real and unresolved question about what Murdoch actually thinks about the Jews," Wolff wrote.
Hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza have been ongoing for six straight days, with the Palestinian death toll now reaching 94.
Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, killing three and injuring dozens. The conflict could escalate further if Israel chooses to launch a ground offensive.

Fruity Scones
Slightly sweet but bursting with the intense flavor of dried cranberries and orange peel, these scones add a special treat to a weekend brunch.
Yield: 8 scones Prep 12 mins Bake 400°F 16 mins to 18 mins
- 1 medium orange
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cups self-rising all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk, divided
- 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large cookie sheet. Grate 1 teaspoon peel from orange. Cut orange in half and squeeze 1/4 cup juice.
2. Combine orange juice and cranberries in cup. Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, caraway seeds and salt in bowl. Beat egg and 1/4 cup milk in a cup. Cut butter into flour mixture, until coarse crumbs form. Add orange juice, cranberries and milk mixture, stirring just until dough forms a ball (do not overmix). Turn dough out onto floured board.
3. Lightly knead dough 5 or 6 times. Shape into a 6-inch circle on prepared cookie sheet. Combine remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and orange peel in a cup. Brush top of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon milk; sprinkle with orange topping. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate. Bake 16 to 18 minutes, until golden.
- If the orange topping seems too moist to sprinkle, gently spread it with your fingertips.

A 17-year-old and a 19-year-old from Commerce, Missouri are facing burglary charges in Scott County.
According to Sheriff Rick Walter, Devon Jacob Reeves, 17, and Megan Danielle Abbott, 19, both of Commerce, Missouri, were charged with six counts of class A misdemeanor stealing, one count of class C felony stealing, and five counts of class C felony burglary in the second degree.
Sheriff Walter says deputies recognized one of the people from a security camera video during the investigation of an attempted burglary at a business in Morley.
Deputies made contact with that person and determined the two were involved in several crimes.
They were taken to the Scott County Jail and bond was set at $2,500 for each.

A 24-year-old woman was arrested Friday after border officers found 144 packages of marijuana hidden in the Dodge sedan she was driving into Douglas from Mexico, officials say.
Mayra Delores Martinez, a U.S. citizen living in Agua Prieta, Sonora, was pulled over for an additional inspection at the Douglas Port of Entry after a drug dog alerted to her car, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release.
Officers discovered about 200 pounds of marijuana hidden throughout the car. The value of the pot was estimated at $100,000.
The car was seized and Martinez was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

There's a decidedly nautical feel to this riverside restaurant with its oak panelling and enamelled ship's pendants. Although the menu pays homage to the watery setting with oysters, potted shrimps and fisherman's pie, the real draw is slabs of 28-day-aged beef, their juices locked in from the blisteringly hot charcoal grill. The fillets, sirloins, rib-eyes and T-bones all come at a price, with hand-cut chips an extra three quid, but there's financial relief in more affordable mains such as grilled ox liver with mustard mash and onion gravy, or roast rump of lamb with beetroot, carrot and red-wine sauce. For afters, puddings are in the comforting nursery mould of lemon posset or apple crumble and custard. The adjoining bar is a good spot for a pie and a pint at wallet-friendly prices.

Just before Halloween, the pressure differential between the Colorado Plateau and
Exactly a decade ago, between Oct. 26 and Nov. 7, firestorms fanned by Santa Anas destroyed more than a thousand homes in
This time climate, ecology, and stupid urbanization have conspired to create the ingredients for one of the most perfect firestorms in history. Experts have seen it coming for months.
First of all, there is an extraordinary supply of perfectly cured, tinder-dry fuel. The weather year, 2001-02, was the driest in the history of
Meanwhile in the local mountains, an epic drought, which may be an expression of global warming, opened the way to a bark beetle infestation which has already killed or is killing 90% of
These dead forests represent an almost apocalyptic hazard to more than 100,000 mountain and foothill residents, many of whom depend on a single, narrow road for their fire escape. Earlier this year,
Now the San Bernardinos are an inferno, along with tens of thousand acres of chaparral-covered hillsides in neighboring counties. As always during Halloween fire seasons, there is hysteria about arson. Invisible hands may have purposely ignited several of the current firestorms. Indeed, in
This is a specter against which grand inquisitors and wars against terrorism are powerless to protect us. Moreover, many fire scientists dismiss "ignition" — whether natural, accidental, or deliberate — as a relatively trivial factor in their equations. They study wildfire as an inevitable result of the accumulation of fuel mass. Given fuel, "fire happens."
The best preventive measure, of course, is to return to the native-Californian practice of regular, small-scale burning of old brush and chaparral. This is now textbook policy, but the suburbanization of the fire terrain makes it almost impossible to implement it on any adequate scale. Homeowners despise the temporary pollution of "controlled burns" and local officials fear the legal consequences of escaped fires.
As a result, huge plantations of old, highly flammable brush accumulate along the peripheries and in the interstices of new, sprawled-out suburbs. Since the devastating 1993 fires, tens of thousands of new homes have pushed their way into the furthest recesses of

Halloween fires, of course, burn shacks as well as mansions, but Republicans tend to disproportionately concentrate themselves in the wrong altitudes and ecologies. Indeed it is striking to what extent the current fire map (Rancho Cucamonga, north Fontana, La Verne, Simi Valley, Vista, Ramona, Eucalyptus Hills, Scripps Ranch, and so on) recapitulates geographic patterns of heaviest voter support for the recall.
The fires also cruelly illuminate the new governor's essential dilemma: how to service simultaneous middle-class demands for reduced spending and more public services. The white-flight gated suburbs insist on impossible standards of fire protection, but refuse to pay either higher insurance premiums (fire insurance in

Servings: 8 slices
Prep Time:
Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: Easy
Vegetable oil, to saute
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (6-ounce) jar ready-made Thai peanut sauce
1 (16-ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 (12-ounce) ready-made pizza crust
1 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
5 scallions, chopped
2 cups bean sprouts
2 cups mozzarella, shredded
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cut into small cubes.
Warm peanut sauce and coconut milk in medium saucepan. Whisk together the cornstarch and water and then add to the peanut sauce. Bring to a boil to thicken and then remove from the heat and cool.
Roll out the pizza dough and press into a 10-inch pizza pan.
Spread the peanut sauce over the pizza dough. Put peanuts, half of scallions, chicken and 1 cup of bean sprouts on crust. Sprinkle cheese, remaining scallions, and bean sprouts on top. Bake until cheese is melted and crust is browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Android applications are written in Java, so direct code-level reuse is usually not possible when porting to Qt. Typically, the application design and assets can be reused, with the UI being redesigned and implemented in QML and the application logic rewritten in C++ and QML.
The app's UI will probably need to be redesigned to provide the best usability on a Symbian device, due to differences in the UI style between Android and Symbian. However, the extent to which you need to redesign will vary: a game, such as Angry Birds, will often have its own custom UI and may not need any redesign. However, if the application uses Android's native UI elements, some redesign is likely to be beneficial.
When porting Android web applications, it is likely that some code can be reused. And as you might expect, any application code in the server should be reusable.
For information on mapping Android UI designs to Qt, see Mapping Android UIs to Qt Quick.
The two main options for implementing an app's UI in Qt are Qt Quick and OpenGL ES. The UI of most apps and games, those without a significant use of real-time graphics, can be rewritten using Qt Quick and the original graphics assets. In addition, by using Qt Quick components it is easy to create a UI that is consistent with the Symbian and N9 UI styles. 3D games, games with fast graphics, or even apps that use special graphics effects will be best ported to OpenGL ES. If your Android app uses OpenGL ES, the good news is that little or no rewriting may be necessary.
In Android apps, JNI enables the use of C/C++ shared libraries from application code. This is not a recommended way to develop basic Android applications, but can be very useful in specific cases: Games might rely on existing game engines for example, which are often written in C/C++. If your Android application uses these kinds of C/C++ shared libraries, code-level reuse is often possible.
In addition to developing Android applications using the Java language, apps can be built as web applications that make use of Android's WebKit implementation. These apps can be created with tools, such as Titanium Mobile, or by using the Webview in a Java-based Android application. For these types of web applications the recommended porting approach is to rewrite the application with Qt Quick, especially if the app demands a rich UI. For more information on Qt Quick, see Qt Quick and Qt Quick Components section. An alternative approach is to build a Qt Quick application with embedded web views that display the content using the source views from the Android web app.

Arson investigators are looking into more suspicious fires in a Frisco neighborhood.
A fire was set in a trash can outside a home in the 600 block of Burr Oaks Drive around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
It spread to the side of the home and burned an electrical box. The residents were home at the time, but no one was hurt.
It's the fifth suspicious fire in the neighborhood since May. Two others involved homes under construction and one on Sunday happened at a vacant but furnished home that was for sale. A fourth involved a vehicle.
"Even with all the activity, with the police and fire marshal, whoever it is pretty gutsy," said Mark Nunn, who lives in the area.
Investigators are not certain that the fires are linked, but they said in several of the cases there were signs suggesting the fire was not accidental.
"Some of them have different characteristics, some are similar," Fire Chief Mark Piland said. "It's unusual, there's no question about that."
The Frisco Fire Department is working with several agencies including the State Fire Marshal's Office on the case.
Residents aren't just relying on added police patrols. Some are sleeping in shifts to periodically check their homes and installing video cameras.
"I just got off line ordering some infrared cameras for the house," Joe Powell, arson victim, said. "In a few days we'll have everything set and ready to go."
Chief Piland and Mayor Maher Maso asked the public to report anything suspicious by calling 911 or the Frisco Police Department.
"We're confident we will catch this coward," Mayor Maso said.

Several stories here of late show when Florida's soil shifts, so do the lives around it - even years down the road. In March, there was the Seffner sinkhole that swallowed a man and killed him as he slept and just last week, another one took down part of a resort in Clermont.
But surviving a sinkhole is just the first part of the collapse that happens around families, both emotional and financial. Virginia Crawford, now 87, and her husband Nathaniel, 93, know all too well how trying the time can be.
"I'm thankful to God to keep me and my husband strong at the loss we had lost," Virginia said as she sat in her home, which is now in Holiday.
It was two years ago when the ground shifted in the back yard of their Tarpon Springs home, taking down a washroom about the size of a two-car garage. After the family evacuated the house, they noticed the soil was shifting in the front yard too. It wasn't long before another hole opened up there as well.
"I said, 'God that's a traveling sinkhole'," Virginia remembers. "I never seen anything like that before."
Engineers determined what happened around the family's home on Disston Avenue was a catastrophic ground cover collapse.
"Next time if I had to go through that all over again - before I do anything ... I'd get me an attorney," said Earnest Crawford, Virginia's son.
Earnest says his parents received a check from their insurance company, but it didn't even come close to the expenses they were racking up. Adding to the hassle was trying to declare a value for everything in the house where they'd lived for about 60 years.
"Get a picture on everything you have in your house," Earnest suggested to other homeowners. "Get a name for everything you have on your property."
The proof of how complicated these things can get is still near Disston Avenue. The house is sitting exactly where it was two years ago. Money went to the new house and expenses and the family says it can't scrap up the $60,000 or so it would take to stabilize the old property and tear down the old house.
For now, Virginia and Nathaniel, who raised three generations in that house, have come to a realization.
"{We} Know that it was lost and gone and it wouldn't be peace no more there," Virginia said.

Georgia wins its third conference road game, downing Vols 68-62 in Knoxville
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope must not want to relinquish last week's SEC Player of the Week award because after tonight's 24-point performance in Knoxville he is well on his way to claiming it again.
Pope played magnificently on Wednesday night for his team, burying 5 of 7 three-pointers – all of which came when Georgia's lead was just 5 points or less.
In the game's final two minutes, with Tennessee trailing by only 3 points, KCP was as poised as ever. The sophomore calmly scored 5 unanswered points, including a clutch three-pointer with a Vols' defender in his face to put Georgia up 66-58 with only 51 seconds remaining. Those points were the nail in UT's coffin, and the Dawgs would head back to the locker room (singing all the way) with a 68-62 SEC road victory – their third of the season.
While KCP was the main storyline for the Bulldogs on Wednesday, Georgia also got significant contributions from guards Vincent Williams and Kenny Gaines, who chipped in 10 and 12 points, respectively. Both of these guys also made big field goals down the stretch with less than 4 minutes left that helped the Dawgs maintain their advantage over Tennessee (Gaines's baseline jumper at the 2:37 mark served to ease the memories of his back-to-back first-half bank shots).
Even though Tennessee's star players – Jordan McRae and Jarnell Stokes – managed to score 17 and 16 points, respectively, the UGA defensive pressure for much of the night was quite strong. The Dawgs held the Vols to just 3 of 11 shooting from beyond the arc, and they forced Coach Martin's team into 13 turnovers (11 of which came in the first half).
Georgia began the game white-hot, nailing 7 of their 13 three-point attempts before the break. On the evening, the Dawgs finished with 11 three's, their highest output of the season from beyond the arc.
The victory this evening puts the Dawgs' overall record at an even 11-11, and they have now gone over the .500 mark in SEC play with a 5-4 record. This win is UGA's fourth in a row in league play, which is something that hasn't been done since 2003, under coach Jim Harrick. Something tells me that Coach Fox's team managed this streak legitimately, though.
Georgia is tied with Arkansas for six place in the conference, and with the way this team is playing and improving a 10-win SEC season does not sound nearly as out of the question as it might have a month ago.
Georgia opens up SEC play in Gainesville
The Georgia Bulldogs (6-7) will begin conference play on Wednesday as they head south to take on the #11 Florida Gators (10-2).
The Gators returned a solid core of players – Kenny Boynton, Patrick Young, Erik Murphy – this season from a team that was just a basket away from reaching the Final Four in last year's NCAA Tournament. ESPN's Myron Metcalf likes Florida to win the SEC, citing senior forward/center Erik Murphy as a critical portion of that prediction. Murphy – Florida's second-leading scorer at 12.1 ppg – is a big body to contend with inside at 6'10", yet he possesses a surprisingly soft touch from the outside, hitting over 45% of his three-point attempts.
Unfortunately for Florida Coach Billy Donovan, Murphy is listed as "doubtful" for the game against Georgia, and he may miss up to two weeks with a rib injury.
The Gators will definitely miss Murphy's offense on Wednesday night, and his absence is certainly a huge plus for a UGA team that could use any and every possible advantage available in their first SEC road game of 2013.
Coach Mark Fox's defense must capitalize on the weakened Florida lineup by centering much of their defensive focus on shutting down senior guard Kenny Boynton. Boynton, a preseason First-Team All-SEC selection, leads the Gators with nearly 14 points per contest, and he is an extremely streaky shooter with the ability to change games quickly from the perimeter.
However, in each of Florida's two losses this season – Arizona and Kansas State – Boynton struggled to score, managing just 16 total points on a combined 6 for 21 shooting performance from the floor. In both of the aforementioned games, Boynton shot woefully from beyond the arc, making only 2 of his 12 attempts.
The message for the Georgia backcourt: Stop Boynton and you might stop Florida.
If the Dawgs can contain Boynton and not let junior Patrick Young hurt them too much in the paint, they may find themselves hanging around late in the game – Vegas doesn't think so though, slotting Georgia as an 18-point underdog in this one.
Young is monster in the frontcourt, standing 6'9″ and weighing nearly 250lbs (most of which appears to be solid muscle). He is chipping in over 10 points and almost 7 boards a night for Billy Donovan thus far.
Georgia is riding a four-game win streak into Gainesville, though I would like to note that the team they face on Wednesday night is going to look nothing like the squads UGA entertained in Athens in December. In addition, this game will be the first conference game of the year for the freshmen, meaning that "playtime" is over for Charles Mann and Brandon Morris – from here on out, the defenders are going to be bigger and quicker across the board.
Finally, Coach Fox must continue to get solid offensive production from sophomore big Nemanja Djurisic. The Montenegro Express has been scorching hot the past two games, averaging 19 points and 6 rebounds. The Dawgs have to be able to rely on Neme to help supplement some of the scoring in SEC play so that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope does not have to do it all himself.
Oh yeah – the last time Georgia won a game at the O'Connell Center was over a decade ago (2002).
Georgia takes on Iona in Athens on Saturday
The Georgia Bulldogs (2-6) return to action on Saturday after nearly a two-week layoff from the hard courts to take on the Iona Gaels (3-4) of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
Georgia's lackluster start to the 2012-2013 season earned them the esteemed position of "bottom rung" in the latest SEC Conference Power Rankings by ESPN. Considering this team's first month of basketball I'd say that this week's ranking was well-deserved, since the Dawgs' only victories thus far have come over Jacksonville and East Tennessee State (both of whom possess losing records).
Despite the rather big hole that Georgia has dug themselves into, this holiday schedule does provide UGA with an opportunity to right the ship before they open up SEC play at #5 Florida on January 9th (eeek!). If Georgia were able to notch victories in their next five games – all of which are at home – the Dawgs could take a winning record into the conference schedule.
Though Iona is rolling into Athens with a 3-4 record, Georgia need be concerned about the Gaels because of their ability to score the basketball, something UGA has not shown a prowess for yet this season. Iona is netting nearly 79 points per game, and they have eclipsed the 90-point mark twice already this season. Georgia, conversely, has yet to crack 70 points in a game this year.
The Gaels run with a four-guard offense and they will look to push the basketball at every opportunity. Iona gets over 50% of its scoring from senior guard Lamont "Momo" Jones and junior Sean Armand, who contribute 21.7 ppg and 19.9 ppg, respectively, ranking them 7th and 29th in the nation in points per game. Jones creates his points off the dribble, while Armand is a lights-out shooter, knocking down a robust 48% of his attempts from the three-point line.
If Georgia sleepwalks into the start of this game, as they have done in previous contests this season, they could find themselves trailing the Gaels by a wide margin. The Gaels buried Wake Forest 94-68 on November 17th, and they just lost an 81-73 heart-breaker to Rutgers last Saturday in Madison Square Garden. Iona should be unfazed by the confines of Stegeman Coliseum, and this team is highly capable of extending Georgia's losing streak to three games.
As far as the Dawgs are concerned, I'd really just like to see something different, either offensively or defensively (or both). Before the Georgia Tech game, I highlighted the fact that UGA might benefit from playing a bit more up-tempo, considering the ineffectiveness of their halfcourt game. Hopefully this layover has given Coach Mark Fox some time to implement some press looks that could serve to move the ball up and down the court quicker. With athletes like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kenny Gaines and Brandon Morris, I see no reason why Georgia cannot attempt to play with a little more urgency.
Before this season began, Coach Fox expressed his excitement about working with and coaching this group of Bulldogs. Now, it's time for his team to show us why.
Clippers send Travis Leslie to D-League
As if the 79-49 whipping that the Georgia men's basketball team received last night at the hands of Kentucky wasn't damaging enough to the psyche of the UGA players and fans, today the Bulldog program took another shot on the chin as its NBA representation was slashed by 25% with the Los Angeles Clippers' demotion of Travis Leslie.
Leslie, a three-year player for the Dawgs and a key member of last season's NCAA Tournament team, was designated today – according to ESPN LA – to the Bakersfield Jam of the Developmental League. He appeared in only 8 of the Clippers first 33 games, averaging 1.5 points and 1 rebound per game.
Travis Leslie's latest tweet revealed some frustrations the young man obviously has with his team's decision:
"How can u prove something when u don't get a chance"
Leslie's decision to forgo his senior season at Georgia raised a few eyebrows as many observers and fans thought that he might benefit from one more year of college basketball so that he could enhance his shooting and dribbling skills.
I do not know Travis Leslie's family situation and what role that played in his choosing to leave early, but I am almost positive that some hot-shot agent filled his head with a lot of lofty promises that most likely nudged him towards turning pro.
I hope that Leslie makes the most of his opportunity in Bakersfield so that he will enjoy a speedy return to the NBA.
Georgia set to take on LSU Wednesday night
The Georgia Bulldogs (12-14; 3-9) and LSU Tigers (16-10; 6-6) were projected to finish 8th and 9th in the conference, respectively, heading into the 2011-2012 season. At this point in the year, LSU has exceeded expectations while the Dawgs have come up a bit short.
The Tigers are riding a three-game win streak into Wednesday night's game, while UGA will be looking shake off the remnants from last week's losses in hopes of avoiding its third-straight conference loss.
LSU's most recent win was a 68-58 victory over South Carolina in Columbia last Saturday, something Georgia failed to accomplish a week ago from Wednesday.
LSU Coach Trent Johnson, who was Fox's boss at Nevada for four years, is on the verge of doing something special with this Tiger team in his fourth season as their leader. LSU hasn't been listed on Joe Lunardi's Bracketology or the ESPN Bubble Watch (yet), but a win over Georgia on Wednesday and they might start turning some heads with a winning SEC record.
The Tigers have knocked off two ranked teams this year – #10 Marquette and then-ranked #23 Mississippi State. LSU has defended home turf pretty well this season in conference play, notching a 5-1 record at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
When breaking down the Tigers statistically, it is hard to find any one category that they have really excelled at in league games (other than their 6 wins). Similarly to Georgia, LSU ranks outside the top half of the SEC in scoring offense, scoring defense, field goal percentage, field goal percentage defense and rebounding margin. I've only seen them play a couple of games this year and the best thing I can say about this Tiger team is that they know how to find ways to win at the end of games (unlike Coach Fox's Dawgs).
The biggest problem for the Bulldogs on Wednesday will be finding a way to limit 7′ (260 pound) junior center Justin Hamilton, who is putting together a solid SEC season – scoring 15.8 points and hauling down 7.5 boards per contest. Hamilton is a lot to contend with in the paint, yet that will be the challenge for John Florveous and Co.
Freshman point guard Anthony Hickey has been superb running Coach Johnson's offense so far this season, netting 10.6 points and dishing out nearly 4 assists in conference games.
Georgia's Kentavious-Caldwell Pope has been in a horrid funk as of late, which probably played a large part in the team's recent struggles against both Vanderbilt and South Carolina. In these two UGA losses, KCP mustered only 15 points while shooting an abysmal 6 for 25 from the floor. During the same stretch of games, Pope's combined 1 for 14 performance from beyond the arc was equally forgettable.
In the Dawgs' 3 SEC wins this season, KCP has averaged 15.7 points and shot nearly 35% on his three-point attempts. Conversely – in the 9 conference losses – Pope's numbers are noticeably lower, with him scoring only 13.1 points and hitting just 31% from beyond the arc.
It is no secret to any UGA basketball fan that as KCP goes, so go the Dawgs.
I'm going to make one last plug for the NIT – probably out of blind love for Georgia more than anything else (like logic) – and I promise if LSU wins on Wednesday I will not mention this post-season tournament again on this blog for the rest of the season.
However, I cannot give up on the Bulldogs' NIT chances when they are still ever so slightly within reach. All Georgia has to do is win in Baton Rouge, and then defend Stegeman against #11 Florida and South Carolina (even an optimist like myself has to chalk the impending game in Lexington down in the loss column for UGA).
Piece of cake, right?
Gators wallop Dawgs 70-48 in Gainesville
If you had told me before tonight's game that Florida's Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton would be held without a field goal until less than 5 minutes remained in the first half, I would have speculated that the Dawgs were giving the Gators all that they could handle.
Apparently Florida is a pretty deep team though, and despite the slow start for Billy Donovan's backcourt in this one his Gator team was able to find scoring from other sources.
After falling behind 7-0 right off the bat, the Dawgs were able to crawl back into the game and only trailed Florida 13-9 following a heady off-the-backboard-self-pass-basket by Nemanja Djurisic. Djurisic's first-half offensive production, which included 10 total points, was critical to keeping the Bulldogs from being blown out before the intermission.
Florida reserve guard Mike Rosario scored 7 unanswered points to open up an 18-9 Gator lead with 9:44 left in the half. Then freshman sensation Bradley Beal went nuts from beyond the arc, knocking down 3 (of his 4) threes prior to the break which opened up a 33-13 Gator lead.
Thankfully Nemi was able to sink 2 open three-point attempts that enabled the Dawgs to head to the locker room trailing 35-21.
Florida was on cruise control for most of the second half though, increasing their lead to 47-26 with 16:53 remaining in the game, following an Erving Walker three-pointer.
Georgia did make one last push at the Gators late in the game, and they were able to trim the margin to 56-43 after Dustin Ware knocked down his second shot of the half from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs 10-4 run, however, was probably aided more by Florida's lack of interest at that point than by Georgia's own play.
Whatever the case, the Dawgs' success was short-lived and the Gators closed out the game with a 14-5 run, securing a 70-48 victory along with their first conference win of the season.
The game never really felt that close and aside from Nemi Djurisic, who finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds, most of the Georgia players looked overwhelmed and out-matched in Gainesville on Tuesday night.
Kenny Boynton and Bradley Beal led the Gators with 17 points apiece, and sophomore big Patrick Young snagged 10 rebounds to go along with 8 points.
Georgia shot their typical 37% from the floor against Florida, and they were an abysmal 1 for 9 from the free throw line. The Gators, on the other hand, hit 50% of their field goal attempts and made a stellar 15 of 18 free throws.
The result from Tuesday night's game should not have come as a shock to many UGA basketball fans. Along with being 0-2 in SEC play, Georgia has now dropped 10-straight contests at Florida, dating back to 2002.
As ESPN announcer Jimmy Dkyes mentioned 42 times on Tuesday night, the Dawgs are too thin inside and should be hurt by the lack of an inside game (thanks for the keen insight). Despite the obviousness of Dykes' comments, he is absolutely right and tonight's game was just another example of how limited Coach Mark Fox's team looks when playing against stronger opponents.
At Vanderbilt on Saturday.
CBE Classic
The Georgia Bulldogs (3-0) are set to play the #22 California Bears (3-0) tonight at 9:45pm in the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Missouri (the game will be televised on ESPN2). After games against Wofford, Bowling Green and South Dakota State, the Cal Bears should present a much more formidable challenge to Coach Mark Fox's young team.
The oddsmakers in Las Vegas are expecting a close contest in tonight's matchup, pegging the Bulldogs as a mere 6-point underdog.
Cal was picked to finish second in the newly-aligned Pac 12 prior to the start of the season, and the strength of this team resides in its backcourt, where the Bears boast two preseason All-Pac-12 First Team guards in senior Jorge Gutierrez and sophomore Allen Crabbe. Crabbe is pacing Cal through three games this year with 16.7 ppg, while Gutierrez is chipping in 13.3 ppg as the team's second-leading scorer.
As a team, Cal has been red-hot from beyond the arc so far this season, knocking down over 40% of its three-point attempts.
Georgia's Donte Williams could have his hands full in the paint tonight trying to defend Cal senior Harper Kamp. The Bears' big man is a load inside, standing at 6'8″ and weighing nearly 250 pounds. In the team's first three games, Kamp has almost averaged a double-double, netting 9.7 ppg and nabbing 8.3 rpg.
Despite the Bears lofty preseason expectations and national ranking, Georgia does actually match-up fairly well with Cal. Gerald Robinson, Jr. and KCP will be asked to defend Gutierrez and Crabbe, and if the Bulldogs guards are up to the challenge UGA should have an opportunity to hang around in this game. GR2 and KCP are leading the Dawgs in scoring at 13.7 ppg and 13.3 ppg, respectively.
Robinson has played pretty well up to this point, but if Georgia is going to have success this season and surprise some teams, GR2 must assert himself more on offense. Robinson, a preseason All-SEC Second Team selection, possesses a lightening quick first step to go along with tremendous speed. He is obviously a fairly unselfish player by nature, but for the betterment of UGA basketball this year, I would like to see GR2 being a little more aggressive when Georgia has the ball because of his ability to create offense.
Finally, Georgia as a team has shot the ball atrociously so far this year, hitting only 40.4% from the field and an even uglier 23.9% from beyond the arc. The Dawgs, who lack much of an inside scoring presence, will not be able to continue winning if their outside shooting does not improve – being undersized and lacking a perimeter game is a combination that does not bode well for teams in basketball.
Other than that, the cream puffs are out of the way and now the Dawgs are about to see what they are made of early in the season. Georgia will get either #25 Missouri or Notre Dame on Tuesday, depending upon the outcomes of tonight's games, and then they travel north to take on #14 Xavier this Friday.
If the Dawgs can't correct their rebounding and shooting issues quickly, they could find themselves sitting at 3-3 by week's end.
Dawgs' out-of-conference schedule earns a "7"
Georgia Bulldogs basketball coach Mark Fox will be breaking in a lot of new players this season, navigating them through a challenging out-of-conference schedule that should have them prepped and ready for SEC play by the time January rolls around.
Pretty ambitious for a coach who lost nearly 45% of his scoring to the NBA…
ESPN blogger Diamond Leung, of the site's College Basketball Nation Blog, rated Georgia's O.O.C. schedule a "7" out of a potential "10". In his analysis of Georgia's schedule, Leung comments:
The CBE Classic gives the Bulldogs an opportunity to measure themselves in Kansas City against a veteran Cal team and then either Missouri or Notre Dame. It won't be easy to pick up road wins against Top-25 Xavier or across the country at USC. Cincinnati is another ranked team and playing in the thin air of Boulder will be a challenge. This schedule gets it done. Will the Dawgs survive?
I am hopeful that Georgia comes out of this slate of games with a 9-5 record, including big home victories over Cincinnati and Georgia Tech. Anything better than that would be cause for some serious optimism heading into conference play, because it would assume wins away from Stegeman against Cal, Missouri or Notre Dame, Xavier, Colorado or Southern Cal.
Any other predictors out there?
ESPN on Thompkins' and Leslie's NBA Decisions
ESPN college basketball blogger, Eamonn Brennan, released an article in which he graded the decisions by this year's underclassmen that chose to forgo their remaining college eligibility and move on to bigger and better things (the NBA). He separates the players into five different groups, ranging from those who made no-brainer decisions to those that made decisions that left us wondering if they have brains.
Anywho, Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie fell under his "Brave Juniors (Who Probably Attended Georgia)" Group.
Brennan's knock on Thompkins is that he could really benefit from playing a full year without injuries so that he can show NBA scouts what he can do when he is at his best.
His comments about Leslie are less flattering, and you definitely get the vibe that Brennan feels as though Travis made a mistake by entering the draft at this point in time.
Either way, what's done is done and here's to hoping that both guys get selected in the first round of the draft so that they can get the ever-so-coveted automatic two-year contract.
For what it's worth, ESPN's Chad Ford doesn't have either former Bulldog going in the lottery section of the first round in his most recent "Mock Draft". However, NBADraft.net has both players going in the first round, with Thompkins being taken 15th and Leslie going 30th.
Second Round Dawg Fight
Before I could finish my cup of coffee on Monday morning, I had already read more than a few sentences on the various sports media websites regarding the Washington Huskies' (23-10; 11-7) star point guard Isiah Thomas – the fact that he had just hit a buzzer-beater to lift his team over Arizona in the Pac-10 championship Sunday didn't hurt his public relations either.
ESPN's Dana O'Neil listed Thomas as one of her "Five Players to Watch" in the East Region. So did Eric Angevine of CBS Sports. Stewart Mandell of Sports Illustrated.com likes Isiah Thomas' Huskies as a "Bracketbuster".
Thomas has definitely been deserving of all the praise, though, averaging 16.8 ppg and earning Pac-10 First Team honors this season (along with teammate Matthew Bryan-Amaning). He can shoot it well from the perimeter, knocking down nearly 36% of this three-point attempts, as well as create off the dribble – Thomas led the conference with 6.0 assists per game.
Georgia's Gerald Robinson is a great defender though, and he undoubtedly will be looking forward to this defensive challenge. In the first meeting between Georgia and Kentucky, Robinson held the Cats' star guard Brandon Knight to just 10 points – his lowest output of the season.
Knight wasn't the only SEC point guard that Robinson frustrated this year. Ole Miss's Chris Warren, a First Team All-SEC selection, mustered only 9 points against the Dawgs, which was his lone single-digit scoring effort of the season.
Bruce Ellington, South Carolina's All-SEC Freshman Team'er, tallied just 9 points in 57 total minutes against the defense of GR2 this year.
Xavier's Tu Holloway, who ended up 20th in the nation in scoring with 20.2 ppg, didn't connect on a single field goal until the second half of the Musketeers game in Athens earlier this season. Holloway did finish with 18 points, but if you remember, nearly all of those came from the free throw line at the end of the game when Georgia was forced to foul – he only hit 3 of his 13 field goal attempts.
The match-up between Thomas and Robinson will be one (of two) key match-ups in this game, with the winner of it putting his team in a great position to advance.
The other fantastic match-up in this contest will be in the paint, between Georgia's Trey Thompkins and Washington's Matthew Bryan-Amaning. Bryan-Amaning, a First Team All-Pac-10 selection, averaged 15.5 ppg and 8.1 rpg this year for the Huskies. On top of having a 6'9″/240 pound frame, he also has a 7'4″ wingspan – making Bryan-Amaning very difficult to shoot over – and oh yeah, he's also tremendously athletic.
Georgia desperately needs Trey to step up and lead in this post-season if they are going to find some success. In the SEC tournament, Thompkins had a big game against Auburn, but in the closing minutes in the loss to Alabama he was nowhere to be found.
The Dawgs have squandered their fair share of leads late in games this season, and a large part of that has to do with a lack of leadership. In Georgia's first win over Kentucky in Athens, Thompkins demanded the ball during the games final five minutes – scoring baskets and knocking down clutch free throws.
In the Bama game though (like many others), Thompkins did not step up and settle everything down. When the game is closing and things are getting tight, this Bulldog teams looks and leans on Trey for scoring and stability.
Trey Thompkins will have the national spotlight on him on Friday night when these teams tip-off approximately at 9:45pm in Charlotte, and hopefully (for Georgia's sake) he is prepared to embrace it.
