Quarterly Report
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical facts are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of these provisions, including those relating to future events or our future financial performance and financial guidance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "project," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "intend" or "continue," the negative of terms like these or other comparable terminology, and other words or terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. These statements are only predictions. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this document may turn out to be wrong. Actual events or results may differ materially. Our forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and other factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in greater detail under the heading "Item 1A-Risk Factors." We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Seattle Genetics is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of monoclonal antibody-based therapies for cancer. Our marketed product ADCETRIS®, or brentuximab vedotin, received accelerated approval in the United States in August 2011 and approval with conditions in Canada in February 2013 for patients with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma or relapsed systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or sALCL. ADCETRIS is an antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, comprising an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody attached by a protease-cleavable linker to a microtubule disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), utilizing our proprietary technology. We have a broad development strategy for ADCETRIS evaluating its potential application in earlier lines of therapy for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or mature T-cell lymphoma, or MTCL, and in other CD30-positive malignancies. In July 2013 we received notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regarding a supplemental Biologics License Application that we submitted in March 2013. Based on ongoing interactions with the FDA, we anticipate that the 16-cycle limitation on duration of use of ADCETRIS will be removed from the U.S. prescribing information. We further anticipate that a label claim for retreatment will not be approved.
In addition, we have six clinical-stage ADC programs, which consist of SGN-75, ASG-22ME, SGN-CD19A, SGN-CD33A, ASG-15ME and SGN-LIV1A. We recently determined, in collaboration with Agensys, Inc., an affiliate of Astellas Pharma, Inc., or Agensys, to discontinue development of ASG-5ME. We continue to develop ASG-22ME and ASG-15ME under our collaboration with Agensys.
We are collaborating with Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, or Millennium, to develop and commercialize ADCETRIS on a global basis. Under this collaboration, Seattle Genetics has retained commercial rights for ADCETRIS in the United States and its territories and in Canada, and Millennium has commercial rights in the rest of the world. ADCETRIS was granted conditional marketing authorization in the European Union in October 2012 for patients with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma or relapsed sALCL. Millennium has also received and continues to pursue marketing approvals in multiple other countries.
We also have collaborations for our ADC technology with a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including AbbVie Biotechnology Ltd. (formerly part of Abbott Laboratories), or AbbVie; Bayer Pharma AG, or Bayer; Celldex Therapeutics, Inc., or Celldex; Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., or Daiichi Sankyo; Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Genentech; GlaxoSmithKline LLC, or GSK; Millennium, Pfizer, Inc., or Pfizer, and PSMA Development Company LLC, a subsidiary of Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc., or Progenics; as well as ADC co-development agreements with Agensys, Genmab A/S, or Genmab, and Oxford BioTherapeutics Ltd., or OBT.
The commercial potential of ADCETRIS and the ability to realize that potential by us and Millennium remains uncertain. Our success in commercializing ADCETRIS will require, among other things, effective sales, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, information systems and pricing strategies, as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The FDA granted accelerated approval of ADCETRIS which means that we are, among other things, obligated to conduct specific post-approval clinical studies to confirm patient benefit as a condition of that approval. In addition, we are exploring the use of ADCETRIS in earlier lines of therapy in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and MTCL, including sALCL, and in other CD30-positive malignancies. In order to do this, we are required to conduct additional extensive clinical studies and, if these studies are successful, we intend to seek additional regulatory approvals.
We and Millennium are conducting four phase 3 clinical trials of ADCETRIS, one in relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma patients following autologous stem cell transplant, or ASCT, called the AETHERA trial, one in relapsed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, or CTCL, called the ALCANZA trial, one in frontline advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma, called the ECHELON-1 trial, and one in frontline MTCL, including sALCL, called the ECHELON-2 trial. The FDA has agreed to special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreements for the ALCANZA, ECHELON-1 and ECHELON-2 clinical trials. An SPA is an agreement with the FDA regarding the design of the clinical trial, including size and clinical endpoints, to support an efficacy claim in a BLA submission to the FDA if the trial achieves its primary endpoints. The primary endpoint in the AETHERA trial is progression free survival versus placebo following ASCT. The primary end point in the ECHELON-1 and ECHELON-2 trials is progression free survival per independent review facility assessment in patients treated with ADCETRIS compared to that achieved with therapy in the control arm. The primary endpoint in the ALCANZA trial is overall response rate, lasting at least 4 months, in patients treated with ADCETRIS compared to that achieved with therapy in the control arm.
We have an agreement with Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Ventana, under which Ventana will develop, manufacture and commercialize a molecular companion diagnostic test with the goal of identifying patients who might respond to treatment with ADCETRIS based on CD30 expression levels in their tissue specimens. A molecular companion diagnostic is not required for the current approved indications for ADCETRIS; however, we expect that a molecular companion diagnostic may be required by regulatory authorities to support regulatory approval of ADCETRIS in other CD30-positive malignancies.
All of these activities will require substantial amounts of capital and may not ultimately prove successful. Our other product candidates are in relatively early stages of development. These product candidates will require significant further development, financial resources and personnel to obtain regulatory approval and develop into commercially viable products, if at all. Accordingly, over the next several years, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses, primarily as a result of activities related to the commercialization and continued development of ADCETRIS. We will also continue to invest in research, development and manufacturing of our other product candidates. Our commitment of resources to the continuing development, regulatory and commercialization activities for ADCETRIS and the research, continued development and manufacturing of our other product candidates may require us to raise substantial amounts of additional capital and our operating expenses will fluctuate as a result of such activities. In addition, we may incur significant milestone payment obligations as our product candidates progress through clinical trials towards potential commercialization.
Although we recognize revenue from ADCETRIS product sales in the United States and Canada, we have only limited experience commercializing ADCETRIS and our future ADCETRIS product sales will be difficult to accurately predict from period to period. In this regard, our product sales revenue may vary significantly from period to period and may be affected by a variety of factors, including the level of demand for ADCETRIS, the duration of therapy for patients receiving ADCETRIS, and the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for ADCETRIS is available from government and other third-party payers, particularly in an increasingly challenging environment due to, among other things, the attention being paid to health care cost containment and other austerity measures in the U.S. and worldwide. In addition, we believe that our initial sales of ADCETRIS in the United States have depleted the prevalence pool of patients in its approved indications and therefore, our ongoing sales of ADCETRIS will be primarily dependent on the incidence rate of new patients who have recently failed earlier lines of cancer therapy and become eligible for ADCETRIS within the current approved indications. Accordingly, we believe that the level of our ongoing ADCETRIS sales is now largely subject to the incidence flow of patients eligible for treatment with ADCETRIS, which could vary significantly from period to period. Moreover, while the incidence rate of newly relapsing patients in ADCETRIS' approved indications has not been definitely determined, we believe that the incidence rate is relatively low. For these and other reasons, we expect that future ADCETRIS sales growth, if any, will be primarily dependent on future price increases and our ability to expand the labeled indications of use. Our efforts to expand ADCETRIS' labeled indications of use will require additional time and investment in clinical trials to complete and we may not be successful. Our ability to successfully commercialize ADCETRIS and to expand its labeled indications of use are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also expect that amounts earned from our collaboration agreements will continue to be an important source of our revenues and cash flows. These revenues will be impacted by future development funding and the achievement of development and clinical milestones by our collaborators under our existing collaboration and license agreements, including, in particular, our ADCETRIS collaboration with Millennium, as well as entering into new collaboration and license agreements. Our results of operations may vary substantially from year to year and from quarter to quarter and, as a result, we believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as being indicative of our future performance.
Financial summary
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, total revenues increased to $130.9 million, compared to $97.1 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to growth in collaboration revenue. Net product sales of ADCETRIS were $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, total costs and expenses increased to $154.3 million, compared to $129.9 million for the same period in 2012. This primarily reflects increases in ADCETRIS collaboration activities, including product supply to Millennium and clinical
development efforts to explore additional potential applications of ADCETRIS, as well as investment in our ADC pipeline programs. As of June 30, 2013, we had $338.1 million in cash and short-term investments, and $237.1 million in total stockholders' equity.
Results of operations
Three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Net product sales
We sell ADCETRIS in the U.S. and Canada. Our net product sales were $35.7 million and $34.7 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $69.7 million and $69.2 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases for both periods were due to a higher average selling price for ADCETRIS, partially offset by lower sales volume in both periods. We sell ADCETRIS through a limited number of pharmaceutical distributors. Customers order ADCETRIS through these distributors and we typically ship product directly to the customer. We record product sales when title and risk of loss pass, which generally occurs upon delivery of the product to the customer. Product sales are recorded net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, distribution fees, estimated product returns and other deductions. Accruals are established for these deductions and actual amounts incurred are offset against applicable accruals. We reflect these accruals as either a reduction in the related account receivable from the distributor, or as an accrued liability depending on the nature of the sales deduction. Sales deductions are based on our estimates that consider payer mix in target markets, industry benchmarks and experience to date. These estimates involve a substantial degree of judgment.
Government-mandated rebates and chargebacks: We have entered into a Medicaid Drug Rebate Agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This agreement provides for a rebate to participating states based on covered purchases of ADCETRIS. Medicaid rebates are invoiced to us by participating states. We estimate Medicaid rebates based on a third party study of the payer mix for ADCETRIS, information on utilization by Medicaid-eligible patients who received assistance through SeaGen Secure, our patient assistance program and experience to date. We also have completed our Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, agreement under which certain U.S. government purchasers receive a discount on eligible purchases of ADCETRIS. We have entered into a Pharmaceutical Pricing Agreement, or PPA, with the Secretary of Health and Human Services which enables certain entities that qualify for government pricing under the Public Health Services Act, or PHS, to receive discounts on their qualified purchases of ADCETRIS. Under these agreements, distributors process a chargeback to us for the difference between wholesale acquisition cost and the applicable discounted price. As a result of our direct-ship distribution model, we can identify the entities purchasing ADCETRIS and this information enables us to estimate expected chargebacks for FSS and PHS purchases based on each entity's eligibility for the FSS and PHS programs. We also review actual rebate and chargeback information to further refine these estimates.
Distribution fees, product returns and other deductions: Our distributors charge a fee for distribution services that they perform on our behalf which is determined based on sales volume to each distributor and the negotiated fee. We allow for the return of product that is within 30 days of its expiration date or that is damaged. We estimate product returns based on our experience to date and historical industry information of return rates for other specialty pharmaceutical products. In addition, we consider our direct-ship distribution model, our belief that product is typically not held in the distribution channel, and the expected rapid use of the product by healthcare providers. We provide reimbursement and financial assistance to qualifying patients in the U.S. and its territories who meet various financial need criteria and are underinsured or cannot cover the cost of commercial coinsurance amounts through SeaGen Secure. Estimated contributions for commercial coinsurance are deducted from gross sales. These contributions are based on an analysis of expected plan utilization. These estimates are adjusted as necessary to reflect our actual experience.
We record product sales net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, distribution fees, product returns and other deductions. These are generally referred to as gross-to-net deductions. Gross-to-net deductions, net of related payments and credits, are summarized as follows: (in thousands):
Distribution fees, Rebates and product returns chargebacks and other Total Balance as of December 31, 2012 $ 4,131 $ 1,601 $ 5,732 Provision related to current period sales 8,656 1,699 10,355 Adjustment for prior period sales (488 ) (53 ) (541 ) Payments/credits for current period sales (6,953 ) (964 ) (7,917 ) Payments/credits for prior period sales (686 ) (655 ) (1,341 ) Balance as of June 30, 2013 $ 4,660 $ 1,628 $ 6,288
Deductions from gross sales increased in 2013 compared to 2012 as a result of increased discounts attributable to government programs. We expect future gross-to-net discounts to fluctuate based on the volume of purchases eligible for government mandated discounts and rebates as well as changes in the discount percentage which is impacted by potential future price increases, the rate of inflation, and other factors.
Collaboration and license agreement revenues
We license our intellectual property to third parties that use the intellectual property to develop product candidates. If there are continuing performance obligations, we use a time-based proportional performance model to recognize revenue over our performance period for the related agreement. Collaboration and license agreements are evaluated to determine whether the multiple elements and associated deliverables can be considered separate units of accounting. To date, the deliverables under our collaboration and license agreements have not qualified as separate units of accounting. The assessment of multiple element arrangements requires judgment in order to determine the appropriate point in time, or period of time, that revenue should be recognized. We believe that the development period used in each agreement is a reasonable estimate of the performance obligation period of such agreement. Accordingly, all amounts received or due, including any upfront payments, maintenance fees, milestone payments and reimbursement payments, are recognized as revenue over the performance obligation periods of each agreement, which range from two to fourteen years for our current agreements. When we have no further performance obligations or following the completion of the performance obligation period, such amounts will be recognized as revenue when collectibility is reasonably assured.
Our collaboration and license agreements include contractual milestones. Generally, the milestone events contained in our collaboration and license agreements coincide with the progression of the collaborators' product candidates from development, to regulatory approval and then to commercialization and fall into the following categories.
Development milestones in our collaborations may include the following types of events:
• Designation of a product candidate or initiation of preclinical studies. Our collaborators must undertake significant preclinical research and studies to make a determination of the suitability of a product candidate and the time from those studies or designation to initiation of a clinical trial may take several years.
• Initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial. Generally, phase 1 clinical trials may take one to two years to complete.
• Initiation or completion of a phase 2 clinical trial. Generally, phase 2 clinical trials may take one to three years to complete.
• Initiation or completion of a phase 3 clinical trial. Generally, phase 3 clinical trials may take two to six years to complete.
Regulatory milestones in our collaborations may include the following types of events:
• Filing of regulatory applications for marketing approval such as a BLA in the United States or a Marketing Authorization Application in Europe. Generally, it may take up to twelve months to prepare and submit regulatory filings.
• Receiving marketing approval in a major market, such as in the United States, Europe, Japan or rest-of-world countries. Generally it may take up to three years after a marketing application is submitted to obtain full approval for marketing and pricing from the applicable regulatory agency.
Commercialization milestones in our collaborations may include the following types of events:
• First commercial sale in a particular market, such as in the United States, Europe, Japan or rest-of-world countries.
• Product sales in excess of a pre-specified threshold. The amount of time to achieve this type of milestone depends on several factors, including, but not limited to, the dollar amount of the threshold, the pricing of the product, market penetration of the product and the rate at which customers begin using the product.
Our proprietary ADC technologies are the basis of our ADC collaborations that we have entered into in the ordinary course of business with a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Under these ADC collaboration agreements, we grant our collaborators research and commercial licenses to our technology and typically provide technology transfer services, technical advice, supplies and services for a period of time of between two and fourteen years depending on the terms of each agreement. Our ADC collaborators are solely responsible for the development of their product candidates and the achievement of milestones in any of the categories identified above is based solely on the collaborators' efforts.
In the case of our other collaboration and license agreements, such as our ADCETRIS collaboration with Millennium or our co-development agreement with Agensys, we may be involved in certain development activities; however, the achievement of milestone events under these agreements is based on activities undertaken by the collaborator.
The process of successfully developing a product candidate, obtaining regulatory approval and ultimately commercializing a product candidate is highly uncertain and the attainment of any milestones is therefore uncertain and difficult to predict. In addition,
since we do not take a substantive role or control the research, development or commercialization of any products generated by our ADC collaborators, we are not able to reasonably estimate when, if at all, any milestone payments or royalties may be payable to us by our ADC collaborators. As such, the milestone payments associated with our ADC collaborations involve a substantial degree of uncertainty and risk that they may never be received. Similarly, even in those collaborations where we may have an active role in the development of the product candidate, such as our ADCETRIS collaboration with Millennium, the attainment of a milestone is based on the collaborator's activities and is generally outside our direction and control.
We generally invoice our collaborators on a monthly or quarterly basis, or upon the completion of the effort or achievement of a milestone, based on the terms of each agreement. Deferred revenue arises from amounts received in advance of the culmination of the earnings process and is recognized as revenue in future periods when the applicable revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue expected to be recognized within the next twelve months is classified as a current liability.
Collaboration and license agreement revenues by collaborator are summarized as follows:
Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, Collaboration and license agreement revenue by collaborator ($ in thousands) 2013 2012 % Change 2013 2012 % Change Millennium $ 8,624 $ 7,214 20% $ 18,966 $ 13,593 40% Bayer 12,000 0 N/A 12,000 0 N/A AbbVie 3,124 1,264 147% 7,924 2,601 205% Agensys 5,645 737 666% 6,382 3,358 90% Genentech 3,452 1,357 154% 4,362 2,219 97% GSK 906 760 19% 2,929 1,554 88% Other 531 1,562 (66% ) 2,728 3,318 (18% ) Total $ 34,282 $ 12,894 166% $ 55,291 $ 26,643 108%
Millennium ADCETRIS and ADC collaborations
Revenues earned under our ADCETRIS and ADC collaborations with Millennium represented 25% and 56% of our collaboration and license agreement revenues during the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and 34% and 51% during the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenues from Millennium increased as compared to the comparable periods in 2012 as a result of increased activity related to the ADCETRIS collaboration including reimbursement for clinical trial and drug supply activities.
Under the ADCETRIS collaboration, we are entitled to receive development- and sales-dependent milestone payments based on Millennium's achievement of certain events related to ADCETRIS for which Millennium is responsible, payment for product supplied to Millennium and development funding equal to 50% of joint development costs. We are also entitled to tiered royalties at percentages starting in the mid-teens and escalating to the mid-twenties based on net sales of ADCETRIS within Millennium's licensed territories. Millennium also bears a portion of third party royalty costs owed on sales of ADCETRIS in its territory. Total future potential milestone payments to us under the ADCETRIS collaboration could total approximately $205 million. Of the remaining amount, up to . . .

Daryl Hall-Laughing Down Crying
It's been said that every song tells a story. In the case of Daryl Hall's latest release, the 10 songs included are each part of a life episode that began almost 15 years ago. In 1997 he released "Can't Stop Dreaming" and since then he has reunited with John Oates, ended a 30 year romantic partnership, got married, became a stepdad, toured the world, created an internet TV show that is now in national syndication and started work on this project.
Four days into the sessions, his long-time friend and producer T-Bone Wolk died suddenly. The decision was made to carry on and in fact the CD is dedicated to his memory as it contains his final recorded performances.
The title track set's the tone for the list. The melody is pure Hall with a solid layer of acoustic guitar and easy going backbeats. Daryl is and always has been a consummate tunesmith and we find him at his best here with rich harmonies that might recall 80's and 90's pop but are the least bit nostalgic. Lot's of dead center hooks, with a range of tempos allow Daryl to use his vocal talents to the max, without sounding forced or strained. In fact it appears that his voice has improved with age.
Check out "Eyes For You" a little bit of funk, a little bit of soul with a great baseline. "Lifetime of Love" with it's acoustic melody topped by horns and a backing chorus that challenge Daryl to rise above them….and he does with ease. There's also a nod to his Philly soul roots in "Problem with You" while "Save Me" has a solid gospel feel complete with an unforgettable chorus.
If this all sounds familiar and comfortable then so be it.. It also shows that Daryl is restless and still growing musically. Proof that we'll be hearing a lot more from him in the years ahead.
Bob Farrow,
Morning host

Words of Wisdom for Challenging Times
Quotations are a gateway for the dreamers; breath to the lovers; hope to the hopeless; affirmation to the faithful; a reminder to the disillusioned; and a beacon to the wandering. ~Author Unknown
When faced with the brunt of unexpected change or a life crisis, it is far too easy to fall into the trap of negative thinking; preventing you from moving forward and blinding you to potential opportunities for growth.
The perspective of someone who has gone though a similar situation and learned insightful lessons can simply be invaluable to help us replace negative scripts with positive self-talk; to lift the spirit and to give us a reason to press on.
And of course, the single most important lesson of all is that you do have the power to design the life you really want if you choose to. You do not have to settle for what you think is life's role for you. You have the power to grow stronger and more resilient … any and all self-limiting beliefs can be overcome.
From Words of Wisdom for Challenging Times …
There are very few experiences in life that are completely unique. Quotations prove to us that we are not alone, that someone else has experienced the same thing, and survived … if they can, so can we!
- The worst thing that one can do is to not try … to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized … and never knowing. ~David Viscott
- Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day. ~Melody Beattie
- To dream anything that you want to dream … that's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do … that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits … that is the courage to succeed. ~Bernard Edmonds
- Accept everything about yourself. I mean everything. You are you, and that is the beginning and the end; No apologies, no regrets. ~Clark Montanas.
- Your time is limited; don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. ~Steve Jobs
- Each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our lives. When things happen to us, it is the reaction we choose that can create the difference between the sorrows of our past and the joy in our future. ~Chelle Thompson
- If you decide to just go with the flow, you'll end up where the flow goes, which is usually downhill, often leading to a big pile of sludge and a life of unhappiness. You'll end up doing what everyone else is doing. ~Sean Covey
- All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~Ralph Ellison
- When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom
- Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it is all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you are willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you are willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you have got the essential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces. ~Joseph Sugarman
- True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how many obstacles we can overcome. True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort. ~Walter Anderson
- People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success. ~Norman Vincent Peale
- Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? ~Mary Manin Morrissey
- I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot… and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed. ~Michael Jordan
- I'm going to smile and make you think I'm happy, I'm going to laugh, so you don't see me cry, I'm going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me – I'm going to smile. ~Author Unknown
- The world is your mirror and your mind is a magnet. What you perceive in this world is largely a reflection of your own attitudes and beliefs. Life will give you what you attract with your thoughts think, act and talk negatively and your world will be negative. Think and act and talk with enthusiasm and you will attract positive results. ~Michael LeBeuf
- The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think about your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you. ~Rita Mae Brown (Just checking to see if you're paying attention.)
- Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. ~Mary Anne Racmacher
Why do we love quotations?
Quotations comfort us and always seem to come at the right time … they can make us laugh in one moment, and cry in the next as they speak to our deepest longings. Quotations share a spot on our desks; turn yellow underneath the magnet on refrigerators; fall out of wallets; are pressed in books; and etched on glass. Quotations inspire and motivate.
We love quotations because they give so much to us.

Hi Marquita,
So many inspirational gems here! I love collecting quotes for my journal. After writing them in I'll often come across them when flicking through months later, and just the right quote will appear at the time I most need to hear it.
I especially liked your Joseph Sugarman quote that begins with this startling sentence: "Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity." That's a keeper , for sure.

Hi Marquita:
I have to admit that I am a quote junkie! I love quotes for all the reasons that you do. I try to include at least one quote in all my blog posts. Today's quote was by Jim Rohn "The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are still better than the best days of those who don't." It was the perfect fit for my post on discovering what you are meant to do.

Hey Marquita,
Nice quotes. Yeah, they can be uplifting when times are bad. Way back 4 years ago when I started my business I got a quote from my friend just stating "You'll make it Garen, because failure is not an option for you". I was always kind of an entrepreneur and way back in the day I sold Shamwows on eBay because I bought them in bulk and made a lot from it (LOL). Then, a couple years later got pretty ahead and found out that Google can be unkind to your sites for some reason at times. A good business partner told me, "learn from your mistakes mate and don't quit because you made a mistake." Lastly, my Dad probably gave me the best quote of all time "It doesn't matter if you win or lose at something as long as you give it 110%".

Hi Marquitta,
thank you so much for your uplifting post.
The quote I was attracted to was "Accept everything about yourself. I mean everything. You are you, and that is the beginning and the end; No apologies, no regrets. ~Clark Montanas.
Accepting my shadow and that I have treated my inner child the way I have been treated as a child is my current challenge. I know the awareness it the first step to change.

Chris Matthews: 'Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bailed Out Capitalism in the 30s'
The President that expanded the role, scope, and size of the federal government more than all that came before him or since is unquestionably Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Yet on Tuesday, moments after calling Congresswoman Michele Bachmann a "balloon head," MSNBC's Chris Matthews actually said FDR "bailed out capitalism in the '30s" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let's take a look at this, by the way. This president gets no credit -- it's almost like Rodney Dangerfield -- I get no respect. I mean, seriously. Suppose a Republican had done this. The Dow Jones, when he came into office in '09 in the spring, was down -- at one point down around 7,000. It really dipped down there as he was coming in, in March. It's up now to 12,000. It's just on the cusp. It's been right up there. A little drop today. But it's basically moving -- went up 100 yesterday. It's -- Gene, why doesn't he get credit -- if any Republican Burger (ph) or Babbitt had come in, you know, a Bob Dole or John McCain, typical middle- of-the-road Republican, a Jerry Ford, and gotten the market up 50 percent, their Babbitry would be through the roof! Look what we did for River City! Look what we did for Main Street. This guy must have done something right.
Must have done something right? Because the stock market has rallied since a few months after he was inaugurated?
To be sure, all of us with stock and mutual fund investments are very happy about this. However, when Barack Obama was inaugurated, unemployment was 7.3 percent. Now it's 9.4 percent.
It seems safe to say that the Hope and Change most of his supporters were looking for in November 2008 was gainful employment NOT gains in their stock portfolios.
To put a finer point on this, Gallup released a poll Monday finding America's satisfaction with government and the economy is down since January 2008 declining the most it has in ten years:
- People's view of their overall quality of life is down five points
- Their belief that folks have an opportunity to get ahead by working hard has declined by an amazing 13 points
- Their faith in our system of government and how well it works has dropped by eleven points.
I guess Matthews conveniently missed this poll:
EUGENE ROBINSON, WASHINGTON POST: Yes, and --
MATTHEWS: These clowns won't give him any credit for this!
ROBINSON: -- administration that there's a lot of stuff that he doesn't get credit for. Nonetheless, people inside the administration are feeling better than they've felt in many months now. They had a great December. They feel like the speech in Tucson --
MATTHEWS: Yes.
ROBINSON: -- went over so well. They're not just back in the game, they feel they're back in control.
MATTHEWS: How can George W. Bush show his face after what he did to the economy, screwing everybody's 401(k)? Every regular person who's put a buck away was screwed by George -- he's out selling books, acting like he's Mr. Happy. Mark, I know you don't want to be partisan here.
What George W. Bush did to the economy?
Isn't it marvelous how liberal media members all seem to ignore the fact that Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress in January 2007 before the economy collapsed, and that Sen. Barack Obama voted for every budget that was passed before becoming President?
Reminder to Mr. Matthews: the Dow Jones Industrial average was at 12,539 when Obama and the Democrats took over Congress in 2007; the unemployment rate was at 4.4 percent. But I digress:
MARK HALPERIN, TIME: (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Happy.
MATTHEWS: But the strangeness --
HALPERIN: He is Mr. Happy. Look, Democratic presidents always have trouble getting credit when the economy does well, for whatever reasons. Bill Clinton had the same problem.
Bill Clinton had trouble getting credit for the economy doing well? Fortunately, Halperin would later correct himself:
HALPERIN: What Obama has to do to get credit --
MATTHEWS: Isn't it funny that they tend to bail out the -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt bailed out capitalism in the '30s. He saved it from God knows what. And Bill Clinton gave them the best decade of their lives. And we're with a 50 percent hike in the Dow.
FDR bailed out capitalism? The President that basically introduced socialism to this country bailed out capitalism?
What's really amazing about this comment was that throughout this installment of "Hardball," Matthews continually excoriated Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) for comments she made this weekend about the history of slavery. In fact, he repeatedly referred to her as a "balloon head," and in a later segment beat up on Tea Party Express's Sal Russo for being at all associated with her.
Yet here was Matthews in the same installment showing a tremendous lack of historical knowledge concerning Roosevelt and the Depression.
For anyone to say the New Deal was pro-capitalism is absurd. Even the liberal-leaning Wikipedia has a firmer grasp on Roosevelt's economic policies:
During the New Deal period, the federal government evolved into an arbitrator in the competition among elements and classes of society, acting as a force to help some groups and limit the power of others. [...]
By the end of the 1930s, business found itself competing for influence with an increasingly powerful labor movement, with an organized agricultural economy, and occasionally with aroused consumers. This was accomplished by creating a series of government institutions that greatly and permanently expanded the role of the federal government. Thus, perhaps the strongest legacy of the New Deal was to make the federal government a protector of interest groups and a supervisor of competition among them. [...]
Farmers were not allowed to sell for less than the official price. The transportation industry was tightly regulated so that every firm had a guaranteed market and management and labor had high profits and high wages, all at the cost of high prices and much inefficiency[citation needed]. Quotas in the oil industry were fixed by the Railroad Commission of Texas with Tom Connally's federal Hot Oil Act of 1935 which guaranteed that illegal "hot oil" would not be sold.[52] To the New Dealers, the free market meant "cut-throat competition" and they considered that evil. It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that most of the New Deal regulations were relaxed.
Anything in that sound pro-capitalism to you? Lest we forget the various social programs created by FDR, in particular Social Security and welfare.
Maybe most importantly, none of it succeeded in growing the economy. Once again, even Wikipedia admits that:
The number of unemployed in 1929 was estimated at less than 4%, but by 1933 the unemployment rate had jumped up to approximately 25%. The New Deal was designed for complete economic recovery during the depression. However, the New Deal did not achieve full economic recovery. It actually had a limited economic impact. The New Deal failed to lower the unemployment rate below 14%.
Indeed. As most economists and historians agree, it was World War II and not Roosevelt's policies that ended the Depression. Even liberal economist Paul Krugman admitted that in November 2008.
As such, Matthews should have been calling himself balloon head rather than Bachmann.
For the record, Time's Halperin did later correct his view of how the press covered the Clinton economy:
HALPERIN: Bill Clinton, every day, even during the peak of impeachment, got credit for the American people for going out and doing things to make the economy better.
This despite Clinton having very little to do with the '90s economic boom.
Once again, even Krugman knows that.

I had the benefit of being raised by an intelligent family who separated the reality of the Roosevelt years from the propaganda for me. They survived through those years despite Roosevelt's best efforts. All of that aside, someone in Matthews position has the responsibility to know his America history well enough to avoid these embarrassing distortions. By his ignorance he shames himself, the journalistic community and those who put him on the air.
I hope that the new team at Comcast sees to it that he gets that education or places him where he can do no further harm.

About the Bachmann remark:
Accidently went to a leftist blog tonight where they were discusiing Bachmann's speech. First comment said, "I never thought anybody could be more stupid than Palin, but she's done it!" Second said, "Palin is Kim Kardashian, and Bachmann is Lindsay Lohan."
WTF is the matter with these people? I hate to give in to the ol' "my enemy is evil" thing, but geez, I'm coming to the conclusion that these people really ARE (evil)! Is it just because all women politicians are supposed to be libs or something? How can you hate people so much when you don't even know them -- and it's always the women, and it's always that they're "stupid."
Tha's 4 they've put their witchy targets on -- O'Donnell, Angle, Palin, and Bachmann. It's beyond a trend and beyond obvious.

Democrats are extremely fearful of the possibility that the GOP may elect the first woman president before they do. That's why they beat up all of appealing female conservatives*, because the Dem's gender politics would go out the window. The same goes for a serious African-American candidate for the presidency, too - the mantra that Republicans are racist would go up in smoke.
* Kristi Noem better be prepared for the same tactics soon.

Stock Market Trends
Submitted by xraynova on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 8:27am.
" The Dow Jones, when he came into office in '09 in the spring, was down-- at one point down around 7000. It really dipped down there as he was coming in, in March. It's up now to 12000...why doesn't he [obama] get credit "
Because he doesn't deserve credit.
The Market is anticipatory in its fundamental nature. It started dropping months before Nov. '08 in anticipation of an obama victory, and in response to the mortgage/banking problems (caused by libero-socialists Frank & Dodd).
On top of that decline, the Market took a nose dive in the months after the Jan. '09 inauguration, getting as low as 6600 in March '09... in anticipation of the financial disaster otherwise known as the obama economic [spending] plan.
So then, what made the market trend begin upward in spring of '09 ? Two phenomena are responsible. One is the The Tea Party which started in earnest in the spring, and led to the populist anger at democrats in the summer (remember those democrat town hall disasters ?). Because of the Tea Party Movement (and the anticipated resurgence of Republicans to the House), the market ancticipated a return of financial sanity.
The other phenomenon raising the Dow, is the high un-employment. Overall, markets do better in times of unemployment because they run leaner & meaner at such times. With fewer people... with less fat, companies tend to be more productive.
No, obama doesn't get credit for the market's rise. He's just the person sitting in the White House, observing the market rise in spite of his socialist theories.
Its been pointed out in several places, that for the most part, the companies that obama expected would benefit from all that "Hope & Change" (e.g., the wind, solar) are not participating to the same degree as other companies, in the upward Market trend observed today.
Even the Immelt-led GE is still languishing, currently at only about 20... and he, Immelt, is supposed to be advising obama on economic matters. A pre-Immelt GE was much better at weathering economic storms, due to wise management and its great diversification. With this guy giving advice to obama, he'll do for America what he has done to GE.

Certainy the trade unions his administration fostered have killed Detroit and American manufacturing.
His illegal seazure of Americans' gold and abandonment of the gold standard insured that our currency would continually go down in value (what would a dollar be worth today if we were on the gold standard?). His creation of the Federal Reserve lead directly to the biggest transfer of wealth from these shores in the history of mankind. His vote buying Ponzi scheme knowns as social security and it's socialist spawn from the LBJ years has put us into hopeless hock to a nation that has armed every fore that has killed American soldiers since WW2.

Submitted by acaiguana on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 9:58am.
Here's a short history of New Deal Programs and Capitalism.
"The impact of the New Deal is still debated today. FDR believed that the legislation enacted during his administrations saved the capitalist system in the United States from the kind of political extremism that the depression caused in other areas of the world. He felt that businesses betrayed him by their attempts to defeat some of his measures that were harmful to them. Many Americans view the New Deal as socialist, and they are right: socialism, by definition, is state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. This was precisely the outcome of the New Deal. In fact, the New Deal was so dangerous to capitalism in America that many of the programs instituted by it were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court: such economic meddling by the Federal Government is not specifically allowed by the United States Constitution, and, according to the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, such powers are "reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Some think that the New Deal helped solve the Great Depression. However, in reality, it only prolonged and exacerbated it. That is why, in the rest of the world, the Great Depression is referred to simply as "the Depression." Only in America is it the "Great Depression," a status earned it by the New Deal. As a permanent formula for economic recovery, the New Deal was not successful. In 1937, as unemployment dropped, FDR dismantled many of the expensive government programs. Not all programs were removed, however; social security, one of FDR's many initiatives, still remains today, and causes many problems. The New Deal, and socialism in general, can be seen as good ideas in principle, but in retrospect, advocating them was a huge failure on FDR's part. The result of the New Deal was a mini-depression and an increase in unemployment. It was not until preparations for war led to massive purchases of American goods from abroad that the Great Depression came to an end. The New Deal was such a failure and so dangerous to America's economy that Congress decided, after Roosevelt died, to pass the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president's terms to two in order to prevent another president like FDR from taking such control over America."

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - At just 7-years-old, Annabelle Kendall has been through more heartache in her short lifetime than many ever will.
One year ago, her father John Wesley-Thomas was engaged to be married to Michelle Packard. Tragically, at the 4th of July fireworks celebration in downtown Lansing, Packard was hit by a stray bullet police believe someone shot randomly into the air.
Just months away from getting married and getting her doctorate degree at Michigan State University, Michelle didn't survive.
"She was the most amazing woman I've ever met," remembered Thomas, Annabelle's father.
"When Michelle died he... I had to hug him like ten times a day because he missed Michelle really badly. And he got sick in his head," said Annabelle.
Annabelle's father John went into a deep depression. In May, he took his own life.
"He didn't just care about her--he loved her. I'm a bit happy for him because now he's with Michelle. He's... now he'll be happy," Annabelle says.
Not only did Annabelle lose a father and stepmother, she lost the chance at a growing family, an idea Annabelle was rather excited about.
"I wish they were married and what if Michelle had a kid and it growed up about six years old. And what if it was a girl?! I'd have a sister for once in my life. I've always wanted to have a sister," she says.
On Wednesday, a year and 20 days after Michelle's tragic death, Annabelle remembers her would be step mother at a ceremony at MSU, as the school presented Michelle's family with her official doctorate degree.
"I'm so excited to be able to say my sister Michelle Packard is a PhD," said Elyse Packard, Michelle's sister.
It's the family's hope that one day, young Annabelle will follow in Michelle's footsteps. A dream Annabelle herself shares.
If you would like to help fulfill Annabelle's college dreams, you can donate to her fund on Go Fund Me here.

By TOM JAMES CNHI News Service
Kokomo Tribune
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — Just call him the reluctant running quarterback.
Andrew Luck — now in his second season as the Indianapolis Colts' starter — has rushed for six touchdowns, including his 19-yard game-winner against Oakland on Sunday.
Overall, he has rushed for 293 yards on 68 carries over 17 career regular-season starts. He has a career average of 4.31 yards per attempt.
One thing is abundantly clear, though. Luck doesn't go to the line of scrimmage each play and look to take off on a run. And please don't compare him to read option quarterbacks like San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick or Washington's Robert Griffin III. That's not his thing.
"No, no, absolutely not," he stressed Monday after a team walkthrough practice.
Still, there are those times when tucking the ball under his right arm is Luck's best option.
"Situationally, it depends. [But] I want to get the ball out of my hands 99.9 percent of the time," he said. "We've got great receivers on this team. I really think so. We've got great tight ends. We've got running backs that are hard-nosed and that make guys miss. The ball doesn't need to be in my hands all the time."
Sometimes, though, the opportunity presents itself and instincts just take over.
"In certain situations [like what occurred in the win over the Raiders] when it opens it up like that, you do run," Luck said. "But I would much rather throw the ball. Get it into true athletes' hands."
As for that touchdown against Oakland, he prefers to highlight the blocking downfield by his receivers and offensive line rather than his decision to run.
So if he gets another chance to take off with the football, what's he going to do?
"I've always been taught going back to college, even high school, that if you can get a first down with your legs as a quarterback, that could be a good thing," Luck said.
"It could be somewhat demoralizing for a defense in a sense. And if you can break a tackle or maybe sidestep something and get the ball out to a receiver, it makes a difference."
During training camp, coach Chuck Pagano and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton were somewhat adamant that they would prefer Luck stay in the pocket and leave the job of carrying the football to the team's three running backs.
But Pagano and Hamilton are realists, too. They know that good things usually happen when their quarterback has the ball in his hands. And Pagano, as a former defensive coordinator, understands what it does to a defense to have to account for a quarterback who can run.
It's safe to say that he appreciates Luck's abilities to make people miss.
"It's pretty good. You can ask Oakland," he said Monday. "But the guy is a pro-style, drop-back, pocket passer. He's got all the arm talent in the world. All the smarts. All the instincts. All that stuff.
"But if things open up and people play tight coverage on you and there's no where to go with the ball, instinctively that's what you're going to do. And he's athletic enough, he's big enough and he's strong enough to do exactly what did he [Sunday]. But we're not running read option with him. We don't have designed quarterback runs for Andrew."
And, yes, the Colts do instruct Luck that if he does decide to run with the ball, get the first down and then slide down or get out of bounds. Pagano, though, understands that there will be times — during the heat of a game — those instructions are momentarily forgotten.
"When you're playing football, you're not thinking. It's instincts. Instincts take over. He's an instinctive football player. Certainly we knew coming out of college that he did it a heck of a lot more than he's doing it at this level. He understands why he can't do it at this level. He's a smart guy," Pagano added.
"He got out of some stuff [against the Raiders]. They had him dead to rights one time. But some how, some way, he squeaked out of there and ran for a first down. It was unbelievable how he did it. But again that's instincts taking over. We're going to tell you when you get close to the sidelines, throw it away, run out of bounds, slide. All those things. We talk to him daily about it."
Tight end Dwayne Allen suffered a hip injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game. He stayed in for several plays after he was hurt before going to the sidelines for the rest of the game.
He was hurt after falling awkwardly while attempting to make a catch. Allen, who had missed most of training camp and all of the pre-season as he recovered from a foot injury, caught a 20-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
Pagano said Monday that Allen's magnetic resonance imaging test came back negative, which is good news. The second-year tight end from Clemson will undergo treatment today and may be able to practice on Wednesday. The coach remains hopeful that Allen will be able to start this week's home game with Miami.
Inside linebacker Pat Angerer, meanwhile, is continuing to undergo the NFL-mandated concussion protocols. His status for the Dolphins game remains unresolved.
Inside linebacker Kavell Conner (ankle) and wide receiver David Reed (concussion/quad) may be cleared to resume practicing this week.

[Thanks to jammaster2j for today's game preview. I'm assuming all the new acquisitions will not be available tonight -ed.]
Before the season, I almost bought tickets to this game to see A.I. and Melo playing together. I decided against it because the game was right after the deadline and figured that A.I. (and his contract) would be on the move. Turns out I was right, but off by a few months. Also turns out that the Nuggets were not the team making things happen at the deadline.
Should be an interesting matchup at PG. Billups is a big /strong / versatile PG, who should be able to take D-Rose to the post. That's not to say D-Rose is not strong himself, but he is only 20 years old. He should have a quickness advantage at the other end. The Nuggets will have to respect Mad Bad Brad on the pick-and-roll, which should cause some extra space for D-Rose to create off the dribble. I always hope to see D-Rose learn something from the opposing PG, and I think Chauncey oozes composure with the ball, plus control / management of each possession. Hopefully Rose can pick up some of that, and also how to use his size / strength as an advantage.
The Nuggets are decently sized at SG and have Melo at SF, so it could be a good game to get Salmons' feet wet at both positions. He can come in for BG or Luol and play either of those positions, so I'm excited to see how VDN takes advantage of his size and versatility. Salmons could be the go-to scorer of the second unit, as he was averaging 18ppg with the Kings.
After spending the last few weeks arguing / hoping against giving up TT for Amare, a part of me now feels tied to his performance / development over the next 4-5 years. His recent increase in minutes (b/c of Gooden's injury) should continue after the trades, and I expect to see continued improvement in his scoring and rebounding numbers. His February (last 6 games) has been great (16.2ppg, 9.5 rpg) - even with a slow game in the win at Milwaukee the other night.
It will be an interesting battle down low, as the Nuggets have a lot of size and athletic ability (Kenyon Martin, Nene and Birdman). The Nuggets were looking for more size at the deadline, even showing some interest in JoaNoah. The Bulls also now have a lot of size (Mad Bad Brad, JoaNoah) and athletic ability (TT). Depending on the new rotation used by VDN, this feels like a battle we can win down low.
The Nuggets (currently the 2 seed in the West) have only played once since the All-Star break, but won twice in a row before that - so they are riding a 3-game win streak. They played pretty poorly in the 1st half of their last game against Philly, but made up for it with a strong second half to get the win.
The Nuggets won when these two teams met in Denver earlier this season, getting 20+ points from Melo, Billups and Kenyon Martin. Hopefully the Bulls can get three players going like that in tonight's game at the UC, continuing the pattern of splitting the season series with the Nuggets that has been ongoing for the last four seasons.
It would be nice to see the Bulls put together a strong effort for 48 minutes while starting to get adjusted to the new roster and rotations. The Bulls (currently 1.5 games out of the 8 spot in the East) have been alternating wins and losses this whole month, and we could use a win here to get 2-in-a-row and some momentum going for the playoff push.
Now a quick look at where this week's activity leaves the Bulls now and going forward …
(1) Miller / Salmons from the Kings: loved this move when it happened – got rid of a bad contract and got back legit talent, but left us thin at PF.
Miller - Huge upgrade in the frontcourt. A big man who can hit the J in the pick-and-roll, and hopefully take the minutes Aaron Gray was getting.
Salmons - I would love to see him start at the SG spot eventually, which would actually give us a big backcourt. But with Noc gone, we need Salmons to backup Luol at the SF right now.
(2) Tim Thomas / James from the Knicks: Looks pretty worthless at first, but actually was a good / necessary trade. Collectively they make the same amount as Hughes would - just turns 1 contract into two. That shouldn't matter if we are going to let them lapse next year to use the money for free agency in 2010. (Hopefully making a move for Bosh and running out the lineup of: Rose, Salmons, Luol, TT and Bosh).
Tim Thomas - Can get 12-15 minutes at the 4 (we had no one to backup TT with Noc and Gooden gone), which leaves most of the minutes for TT to develop alongside D-Rose.
James - Wish he didn't have that player option (so there was some $ available to throw at BG), but the key will be getting the injury retirement approved to get his contract off the books for next year (in which case we will save significant money over keeping Hughes).
(3) Thabo to Thunder: How Pax managed to turn Thabo into a first round pick at this point is beyond me. I had lost hope with Thabo because we haven't seen any improvement on offense, and he really hasn't been the defensive stud he was hyped to be. Love this deal, even if it turns out to be the Nuggets late first-rounder.
Overall, we should look like this the rest of the way (but who knows with VDN):
PG: Rose / Kirk (nothing changes)
SG: BG / Salmons / Kirk ( BG / Salmons getting most of Thabo's minutes)
SF: Luol / Salmons (share Noc's minutes)
PF: TT / Tim Thomas (TT gets 30-35 minutes per game)
C: Miller / Noah / Gray (eventually start Miller to run the pick-and-roll with D-Rose, then Miller and JoaNoah split the minutes - with Gray barely getting off the bench)
Not a bad rotation to make a run at the playoffs.

Bill James wins
An activist in one national progressive organization asked me yesterday about Mecklenburg homophobe Bill James. "Should we go along with the commissioners' resolution or call for James to be censured?" he asked. Too bad he didn't listen to my advice.
"Going along" with the namby-pamby resolutions is how progressives prove again and again that they don't have the stomach to play in today's political arena. One need look no farther than comments by Bill James himself to prove the point.
James later joined commissioners in unanimously adopting a resolution pledging their support for diversity, tolerance and inclusion in the community, while opposing inflammatory speech that could hurt others. James said he supported the resolution, in part, because he wasn't named in it and said "it won't really accomplish anything."
Bill James may be an odious asshole, but at least he knows how to call a spade a spade:
He said he believed the measure was a way to put a "nice, glossy, fancy façade" on the issue as the community bids to bring the Democratic National Convention to town, and said if other commissioners were serious about standing up for sexual rights, they'd try to get state laws changed.
Comments from the hearing
Bill James:
"If other commissioners were serious about standing up for sexual rights, they'd have censured me and worked to throw me off the board."
Other speakers wanted to do just that. Too bad the commissioners didn't.
You just can't win
with an ass like him. If Republicans had an ounce of dignity left they'd primary him off the political map.
The County Commission, and
The County Commission, and City Council, must know that this Legacy will not go away with a mere Resolution, and they must hear that these comments are indeed offensive and should not to be tolerated any more than if similar comments were made about Christians or African Americans. Charlotte, N.C. IS NOT the appropriate location for the Democratic convention with this hanging over their heads.

Thank you!
Thank you, customartist, for saying that. I created an account here solely to say that the Democratic convention should not be held in Charlotte for this very reason.
James has made many offensive, bigoted and ignorant statements over his 20 years in office. The only way Mr. James' supporters will get the message is if there is some financial repercussions from his statements.
Just a little while ago, before I saw customartist's message I went to the Democratic Party site and sent a message asking them to remove Charlotte from the list of potential convention sites.
I say this as a proud resident of Charlotte. But money speaks.
Thanks to both of you
for weighing in on the appropriate consequences of Mr. James' actions. I agree with you completely.

Upon reading today's daily links I have created a fantasy hockey league on Yahoo!. The name of the league is Defending Big D and can be found under the 'Free Custom League' tab after selecting 'Join League'. Alternatively, you can click here for the invite page.
Currently I am set up as league commissioner but would be completely willing to give it to anyone who knows more about the managing of a fantasy league than I do.
The draft is set at September 20 at 7:00pm Central Time but can be easily changed to accommodate as many people as possible.
Thanks and Go Stars!

HYANNIS, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A man, who was reportedly angry with his neighbors, fired a handgun and struck a day care with several bullets.
According to CapeCodOnline.com, 66-year-old George Rackliffe was angry with his neighbors who were arguing. He then took out a gun and fired eight rounds into the wood stove in his home. Investigators said three of the bullets pierced the stove and traveled out of his home, striking a neighbor's house.
Police said two bullets entered the home, hitting a staircase and a wall.
The website reports that five people, including two children, were in the home at the time of the shooting. There were no injuries.
Rackliffe initially told police that he fired the weapon because he thought there was in intruder in his home, but later changed his story, CapeCodOnline.com reported.
He was charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, three counts of injury to real/personal property and five counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon.
The weapon was licensed to Rackliffe, according to CapeCodOnline.com.

I've been interested in woodworking for a long time, but only got serious about it after I retired last year. I've been taking classes at Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, CO (http://www.rrcc.edu/finewood/index.html) - a great resource for those in this area. My main interest is furniture making.
