There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team.

SAN ANTONIO -- Miami Heat star Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 for flopping during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The NBA announced the fine on Friday. The play happened midway through the second quarter with the Heat leading 41-32.
Bosh was trailing Spurs forward Tim Duncan as the two headed back down the court when Duncan established post position in the paint. As Spurs guard Gary Neal approached with the dribble, Duncan posted up a late-arriving Bosh to try to seal him away from the play. Bosh flailed his arms and fell to the ground.
Duncan was whistled for a foul on the play, which wiped away a layup for Neal.
Bosh had 20 points and 13 rebounds in the win that evened the series at two games apiece.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Zach Zenner rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown as South Dakota State rolled to a 29-0 win over Indiana State on Saturday.
Zenner's touchdown gave South Dakota State (6-4, 3-3 Missouri Valley Conference) a 9-0 lead late in the first quarter, and the Jackrabbits added two second quarter field goals to take a 15-0 halftime lead.
Austin Sumner connected with Jason Schneider for a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter and Isaac Rodriguez scored his first touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter to round out the scoring.
Sumner had 207 yards passing, and surpassed the 7,000 yard passing mark for his career.
The Jackrabbits held Indiana State (1-9, 0-6) to just 161 yards of total offense, 56 passing. Indiana State starting quarterback Mike Perish was hurt early in the game and his replacement, Robert Tonyan Jr., completed just 5 of 20 passes.

News: Bow Wow Unleashes His Biggest Childhood Fear [Video]
Monday, Sep 17, 2012 5:27PM
Cash Money Records rapper Bow Wow recently revealed his biggest childhood fear and what foods will never make it onto his dinner plate.
Despite rocking braids throughout the start of his music career, Bow Wow said hair had him shook as a child.
"My biggest fear as a child was hair, believe it or not," he tells Fuse. "As a child I had a whole bunch of hair. It was weird. I had braids all the way down to my back. What scared me about hair was that it could fall out and be all over the floor." As an adult, though, he still fears certain foods, namely collard greens. "I don't do well with collard greens," he says. "I don't like greens. I don't like okra. I could be here all day telling you what I don't like." (FUSE TV)
Outside of fears, the youthful rap veteran recently discussed his status on Cash Money amid feud-fueled rumors.
"Moving to Miami helped me. It helped me find myself as a man. Now things are coming naturally. I'm in Cash Money Records, a place I wanted to sign with. Now I am at my peace, and when peace is in my life I am at my best. That's when it's real scary for my competition, because then I feel I am invincible," Bow Wow said in an interview. "[What's it like with the YMCMB family?] They aren't only good people, but good artists as well. We all help each other out, so as long as we do that we can make the label and brand even bigger. That's what we are about." (Daily Nebraskan)
Last month, speculation developed on Bow Wow's Cash Money woes.
I never fully understood where Bow Wow fit in the Cash Money machine. But, wherever that is, its not on the inside of the clique. It seems like Bow Weezy is doing is own thing and not doing such a bad job. The only thing is its not with the rest of YMCMB. He's out doing just about everything on his own, which is not good. Meanwhile Wayne is killin' em with the anticipation of dedication. Rhymes with Snitch gathered the tweets and surmised the lil' homey's inner thoughts that were put on Twitter. No emo. (All Hip Hop Rumors)
Back in summer 2011, Bow Weezy hit up SOHH and spoke on fatherhood.
"Fatherhood is beautiful, know what I mean? I can't complain, it made me a better rapper, and a better man," Bow Wow told SOHH. "It made me see life differently. Clearly. It made me turn into a man overnight. I love it. It gets kinda difficult to [spend time in public] because fatherhood is kinda the hot story that's around me right now, everybody wants to know [about us]. I was out in L.A. and everybody's trying their best to get pictures of my daughter, so you know, it's not easy." (SOHH)

Hero Honda Motors Ltd announced on Monday that it has executed a final binding licensing agreement with Japan's Honda Motor Co. The execution of the agreement paves the way for the split between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Co.
Hero Honda told the Bombay Stock Exchange that the agreement, which was signed last week, pertains to the existing and new products that it will offer in the Indian market once the Japanese firm exits the joint venture.
The agreement is in line with the memorandum of understanding approved by the boards of directors of the two companies on December 16, 2010.
Hero Honda also announced that the board of directors has re-appointed Mr Toshiaki Nakagawa as Joint Managing Director as per the resolution circulated on January 15.
Under the agreement, Hero Group will buy Honda Motor's 26 per cent stake in Hero Honda for an undisclosed sum. However, as per the market value when the agreement was announced last year, Honda Motor's stake was valued close to $2 billion.
Hero Honda is a 26-year-old joint venture with each partner holding a 26 per cent stake and the rest is with the public shareholders.
Mr Pawan Munjal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Hero Honda, had stated at the time that the deal is likely to be completed "sometime" in 2011.
As per the separation deal, Hero Honda will continue to pay royalty at the current levels to Honda. Hero Honda would also be able to export two-wheelers and develop its own R&D capabilities. The royalty levels would gradually come down as Hero Group develops its own R&D capabilities, Mr Munjal had said.
Hero Honda's shares closed at Rs 1,750.15, down by 0.33 per cent at the BSE on Monday.

Rebel leaders won recognition as the legitimate government of Libya from the United States and other world powers on Friday in a major boost to the rebels' faltering campaign to oust Muammar Gaddafi.
Western nations said they also planned to increase the military pressure on Gaddafi's forces to press him to give up power after 41 years at the head of the North African state.
Recognition of the rebels, announced by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a meeting in Turkey of the international contact group on Libya, is an important diplomatic step which could unlock billions of dollars in frozen Libyan funds.
The decision comes as reports are circulating Gaddafi has sent out emissaries seeking a negotiated end to the conflict, although he remains defiant in his public utterance.
In a speech broadcast as thousands of loyalists rallied in a street demonstration, Gaddafi rejected international recognition of the rebels.
"Trample on those recognitions, trample on them under your feet," he told his supporters. "They are worthless." (more)

Body found by 999 crews after Blackburn bungalow blaze
12:00pm Saturday 10th November 2012 in News By Lisa Woodhouse, Assistant picture editor
A BODY has been recovered from a house in Blackburn following a blaze this morning.
The body, believed to be that of the elderly man who lived at the property, was found this morning as crime scene investigators searched the charred and smouldering remains.
Firefighters from Blackburn and Darwen were called to the detached bungalow on Pleckgate Road, at around 3.45am after a 999 call was received from a passer-by.
The inferno has wrecked the house and police and fire officers are carrying out investigations into the cause of the fire.

Due to extreme weather conditions across the East Coast, most flights leaving NYC were extremely delayed or cancelled. After being at the airport for 8 hours, our flight was finally cancelled at 11:00 PM. Hence, we were unable to fly out of NYC this evening and will not be able to cast in Detroit tomorrow morning. Therefore, the Detroit casting for FFFWeek has been cancelled. It is our intent to make every reasonable effort to reschedule the Detroit casting at the end of the tour.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and hope that we will be able to put Detroit back on the casting schedule in late March or April.
Thank you.

A webpage containing all the data on the country's environment natural resources was put up by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The "Environmental and Natural Resources Statistics Information Systems" (ENRSIS), http://enrsis.denr.gov.ph/, provides integrated information on the country's environmental and natural resources.
Environment Secretary Ramon Paje said ENRSIS is a useful tool for the public, organizations and institutions in pushing for sustainable development through environmental planning.
"By creating this centralized resource, the ENRSIS allows the public to use with greater efficiency the power of reliable information as a tool to empower themselves," Paje said.
Apart from serving as a repository of theof the government's natural resources data, the ENRSIS also facilitates easy collation and valid comparison of data across sectors.
Paje said the website will help civil servants make a qualitative analysis of the government's performance in its key environment programs such as urban and rural poverty reduction through sound environment conservation and protection measures, land distribution, food production and climate change adaptation.
"With the ENRSIS, it is now easier to track the progress we are making over a wide variety of concerns or to compare and analyze varying environment policies," Paje said.
Two web portals – land and soil resources statistics and water resource statistics – were built to support the website.

Lambert on the perfect penalty (From Basingstoke Gazette)

Football RSS Feed
Rickie Lambert details his penalty-taking approach in a new book published tomorrow
10:23am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in Football
Rickie Lambert has revealed the thought behind his penalty-taking technique in a new book.
The Saints striker has converted a perfect 34 of 34 attempts from the spot since joining the club in August 2009.
His last miss from 12 yards came for his previous club, Bristol Rovers, in February of that year.
Lambert, who is part of England's World Cup squad, has spoken of his penalty approach in Ben Lyttleton's Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty, which is available from tomorrow.
He said: "I see a penalty as a free shot from ten yards and a professional should score from that distance 10 times out of 10, so if you hit it well you'll be alright."
Lambert added: "When I put the ball down, I walk backwards and take a set number of strides to get to my mark. If you turn round after spotting the ball it shows nerves.
"Maybe it means the taker doesn't want eye contact with the goalkeeper in case he plays mind games.
"As a taker you don't want to make it easy for them.
"I try and hit the penalty as if I know the goalkeeper is going that way as well and even if he does he still won't be able to save it."
Lambert knows he might be called upon at some point this summer to try and help England improve on their dreadful penalty record in major tournaments, and he admits the prospect of missing for your country is more frightening than for your club.
"With your club you can probably rectify the mistake very quickly but with your country you might not get another chance and there is no manual about how you will feel if you miss," he said.
"I imagine it would affect you much more emotionally."

Wicomico Shores Golf Course to Host Thanksgiving Day Charity Event
Mechanicsville, MD - 11/3/2011
Wicomico Shores Golf Course staff will host the Eleventh Annual Thanksgiving Day charity golf event on Thursday, November 24, 2011. Golf Course staff plan to donate their time to open the course on Thanksgiving Day and will waive greens and cart fees for patrons who contribute various non-perishable food and household items for charity.
This year's donations will be provided to Our Lady of the Wayside Church food pantry. The neighborhood pantry, located in Chaptico, helps St. Mary's County citizens in need. The facility provides direct aid to individuals and families who face unexpected hardships and need temporary assistance with food and utility and rental/mortgage assistance.
Staff hopes to exceed last year's event total of over 2,000 items collected. Traditionally, most players donate at least one bag of non-perishable groceries including items such as canned fruits and vegetables, boxed mixes, soups, canned meats, pasta and noodles. Cash donations will also be accepted.
Patrons are encouraged to reserve tee times one week in advance. Tee times will be for morning hours only. Please call the Wicomico Shores Golf Course at (301) 884-4601 or (301) 934-8191 for further information on this event and to reserve tee times for your group.

This recipe is a favorite in my house and with friends now. I made several batches and froze them to use in dishes. The flavor is to die for and goes with many dishes! Try it on fajitas, any pasta, soups, you catch my drift.
rumcake22 Jan, 2008
Actually not so much "thick" as "rich". Martha commented on how what a light texture the reduction was.
rumcake22 Jan, 2008
Yes, that's correct. On the show it was reduced to just about that - very thick. It's used sparsely between each of the 12 layers.
betdavisis20 Jan, 2008
Has anyone tried this? I'm wondering if the direction to reduce 16 cups to 4 cups is correct. Please advise. Thanks

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- Three Kentucky visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park were hurt when a tree fell. According to park officials, rangers were called around 4 p.m. EDT Wednesday and told people touring Cades Cove had been injured.
Rangers found 41-year-old Michelle Tilley of Shelby Gap, Ky., was initially knocked unconscious when the tree fell at the Missionary Baptist Church.
Rangers said Tilley was holding her 1-year-old daughter at the time. The infant and Tilley's 7-year-old nephew were less seriously injured. The children were released after treatment at University of Tennessee Hospital in Knoxville, where Tilley was admitted. No information about her medical condition was immediately available Thursday. Rangers are still investigating weather conditions in Cades Cove at the time the tree fell.
Cades Cove is popular with tourists in the Smokies. It contains a collection of cabins, churches, outbuildings and a grist mill from the 1800s.

The innovative Luxury Map self-inflating mattress utilizes pressure mapping technology and strategic die-cutting to provide supportive cushioning where it's needed most and reduce foam density in high-pressure areas.
Weighing just 1.5 pounds and bolstered with foam, the compact NEMO Astro Air Insulated inflatable sleeping pad is ready-made for 4-season backpacking. Dual valves make inflation and deflation easy.
Updated for 2014! Combining lightweight construction, rugged durability
and a comfortable 2-inch thickness, the Therm-a-Rest Trail Pro self-inflating
mattress offers versatility for backpacking, camping or general travel.
Targeted die-cutting and a 2" thick foam base make the Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp self-inflating sleeping pad a comfortable option for year-round camping. Lightweight fabrics deliver comfort while maintaining overall durability.
Updated for 2014! Combining lightweight construction, rugged durability
and a comfortable 2 inch thickness, the Therm-a-Rest Women's Trail Pro
self-inflating mattress offers versatility for backpacking, camping or general
Updated for 2014! The warm (R-value of 4.8), multi-purpose Therm-a-Rest
Women's Trail Lite self-inflating mattress is designed specifically for campers
as well as budget-minded backpackers who want one mattress that can do it all.
Providing maximum sleeping comfort and warmth, these pads are ideal for camping when you don't need to haul gear in a backpack.
These inflatable pads use air for cushioning. They're lightweight and pack smaller than closed-cell foam or self-inflating mattresses.
Open-cell foam absorbs air to self-inflate. These pads are more comfortable than closed-cell foam and don't have the "bounciness" of air mattresses.
Light enough for backpacking, yet comfortable enough for car camping, these pads strike a balance between the extremes of weight and comfort.
Ideal for hikers who are willing to sacrifice a little comfort for a lighter weight and smaller stuff size.
Mattresses fine-tuned to maximize women's sleeping comfort.

3.9/5 rDev -1.3%
An industry pint at the Oliver location, one of Gunther's rotating German Series.
This beer appears a clear, very dark bronzed amber hue, with one anemic finger of foamy pale beige head, which wisps away rather quickly, leaving a low ebbing ring of lace around the glass.
It smells of roasted bready malt, a heavy touch of meaty, toasty caramel, and earthy, leafy, weedy hops. The taste is fairly dense caramel/toffee malt, a subtle meaty smokiness, some soft, thick jam-like sweetness, and entrenched earthy, musty hops.
The carbonation is average, and duly supportive, the body a sturdy medium weight, bordering on full, considering the style, with a fairly steady smoothness. It finishes a tad on the sweet side, the caramel pushing through the waning smoke, and the hops, though still muddled, faithfully put out to the end.
A pretty tasty German-style black beer, the malt big and roasted, with attendent smoke notes as if to ram home the point. It might get a bit too sweet and cloying after a few, but that isn't really a problem around here, as of late.

reviews & comments (43)
I would definitely make this recipe again! I made the recipe just the way it was printed. Make sure that you use fresh lemon juice and the Italian parsley, there are not a lot of ingredients so use the best! The flavors were perfect even though you use 8 cloves of garlic, it is not too strong!
this one of those easy one bowl-one pot wonders. dinners's cleaned up before you sit down. we served it loaves of crusty bread and skipped the pasta, much more fun. Easy and one pot cleANUP. CAN GET ANY LUCKIER.
first time I made it I followed the recipe, and I thought is was really greasy. 1/2c of oil is way too much. 2nd time I used about 1T of oil and I liked it a lot better, I still think it needs a little more zing. maybe some crushed red pepper next time?
I have made this recipe on many occasions to rave reviews.I have also substituted fresh shrimp inplace of clams remembering that the shrimp cook faster so add them in a touch later. Bueno!!!!!
I the first time I made this dish I sliced the garlic but that was much too tedious. The second time I made this dish I just crushed it so that I could pick out the pieces later. It still tasted delicious and took far less time! You can't go wrong with this dish.
This was delicious! The first time I made it I cut down the garlic (8 cloves seemed like a lot) and used bottled lemon juice. I second time I made it, I used the full 8 cloves of garlic and fresh lemon juice. It made a huge difference. It was much better the second time.
I love clams and the combined flavours of extra virgin olive oil, garlic, parsley and lemon. This was a very quick and easy dish to prepare and the end product was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make it again.
woooha! this was my first attempt at a clam recipe and it tasted great! I'm going to make this again but this time with some red pepper as others have suggested.
This recipe was not as good as i thought it would be. The other reviewers have hyped it up too much. However, it was really simple to make, i didnt know what kind of wine to use (because im 17 with no previous experience cooking wine, just drinking it ;) hehe) make a lemon parsely garlic butter, spead it over a baugette, toast lightly, yum!

Encoding for iBooks Author Webinar: Download Free Proof of Concept iBook

In my upcoming webinar, Encoding for iBooks Author (register here), I claim that "by the lessons learned in this webinar, you'll be able to include more minutes of videos in your iBooks, or the same number of minutes in a much smaller footprint." To prove the concept, I created an iBook with seven video files that you can freely download here. By practicing the techniques I'll demonstrate during the webinar, the seven files I produced (195 MB total) were about 400 MB smaller than those produced by iBooks Author (591 MB), with no visual difference.

Tutorial: Adaptive Streaming to Desktops and Mobile via HLS: No Coding Required
- February 20, 2014

Adaptive streaming is the best technique for delivering video to viewers watching on a diverse range of platforms and connections. But implementing adaptive streaming has traditionally been complicated and expensive. Not any more.
In this webinar, now available on-demand, you'll learn how to deliver to desktops and mobile devices using Apple's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) for a total investment of under $1,000, far less, if you already own the necessary encoder. And if you can embed a YouTube video in a web page, you have the technical expertise necessary to make this happen.

The Amazing Disappearing Man
Ah the amazing disappearing man. Songs are written about him, books celebrate his ability to transcend time, entire blogs are dedicated to him. It's a sad fact of the life of a single woman that every now and then you're gonna lose a man. Not lose in the sense of "we were in a relationship [...]
Ah the amazing disappearing man. Songs are written about him, books celebrate his ability to transcend time, entire blogs are dedicated to him. It's a sad fact of the life of a single woman that every now and then you're gonna lose a man. Not lose in the sense of "we were in a relationship and I fcuked up and now I've lost the love of my life", but lose in the sense of misplace; as in "I don't know where that man got to. I just saw him a minute ago and now he's completely disappeared".
The amazing disappearing man is not an actual man, he's more like the alter ego of your current man. Kind of like the Incredible Hulk, the amazing disappearing man will appear (ha!) as a result of stimulus. The pisser is though that his victims rarely get to know what the catalyst of the disappearance was. And the real pisser is that the disappearance can occur anywhere from one minute to five years after the fact.
Say for example you and the FWB are hitting it hot and heavy one night. After the seeds are wiped up all is said and done he's a little bit quieter than usual. But you're too busy congratulating yourself for the hurting you just put on him to ask why your chum is so glum. You skip off along your merry way knowing that that boy isn't about to forget your name in a hurry. Until a few weeks go by and your vagina starts tapping you on the shoulder and you look around and homeboy has disappeared. He hasn't hit you up, he's not responding to your texts or emails, and since this is a mutual jump-off society you can't really show up at his house or ask around about his whereabouts without looking thirsty. You have to just accept it – he done disappeared.
This story repeats itself endlessly through history. Maybe it's the dude you had a few great dates with, maybe it's the one you met online who invited you travel cross-country to visit him but wasn't there when you arrived in his city. The amazing disappearing man comes in all varieties and he's a fcuking asshole.
So what's a gal to do when a man amazingly disappears on her? Well there's not a lot she can do – no point searching for someone who doesn't want to be found. Spreading the word among your common friends is only going to let the world know that someone has gone into hiding to get away from you. Writing bad haikus about love offered and withdrawn is only going to burn out the eyeballs of the friends who are forced to read it.
My advice to you? Move on with your life. Because if there's one thing that's true about the amazing disappearing man it's this – sooner or later he always comes slithering out of his hole. Usually about 30 seconds after you've forgotten all about him. Be ready.
So ladies, have you ever had a man amazingly disappear on you? Did you know why? Did he come back? And men – I know you have pulled this trick at least once in your life. Explain yourself in the comments.

Damn,on point. Hit the nail. This is therapy for me.
Yeah, my ex disappeared, and then I reached out many months later and he seemed to all of a sudden want so desperately to re-unite.
I won't be fooled twice (well not without a fight) so I have been cautious this whole while… thinking, yes I know, I reached out to you first (because his dad died a couple of weeks before we broke up), but still, why are you complementing me on my profile pics, and hinting that you're in my hometown….?

[...] to like a woman when you don't, outright lying, or sneaking off in the middle of the night never to be heard from again, were doing such things because they were assholes. But apparently I'm mistaken. Apparently [...]

Now that the 2012 NFL Draft is finally a few weeks behind us, the various teams are beginning to lock down their picks. The Carolina Panthers, for example, have already agreed to terms with all seven of their draft picks and are looking ahead to the offseason with the bulk of their work finished.
While the Green Bay Packers are not quite as far along in their dealings with draftees, they have at least locked up one of their players. The Packers have signed their first-round pick, Nick Perry, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The linebacker who was selected as the No. 28 overall pick in the first round by the Packers. He was a First-team All-Pac 12 selection while playing with the USC Trojans. Perry had 8.5 sacks and 54 tackles in 12 games in 2011.

Terry Griffin revisits his past in state politics
Date: October 14, 2009
by: Dora Walters
Terry Griffin reminisced about his 41 years in Republican politics in Florida at the Republican Club of Longboat Key's first meeting of the season held Oct. 9, at The Chart House.
A criminal trial lawyer, now retired, with a second career as a successful murder-mystery writer, Griffin was on the executive committee of the Young Republicans in Orange County and the Republican Party of Florida. He was a Republican convention delegate in 1976, 1988 and 1992.
"I think the modern Republican Party in Florida began in the 1970s," he said. In the '70s, the Republicans had 25% of the vote compared to 72% for the Democrats. By the mid-1980s, the Republicans had 39% and the Democrats 54%.
In 1988 Griffin strongly considered running for a Legislative seat. When he presented the idea to his family, his wife asked, "Could a divorced man win?" He dropped his plans.
In other business, Jim Whitman, club president, urged members to invite a Republican to lunch during a drive for new members.

I must confess, the photo doesn't come close to doing justice to this gastronomic adventure. Confession number 2? I'm writing this post from a hotel room in Oregon, I am traveling for a friends wedding.
On to the food. As Vice President of the Olympic Peninsula Loop Culinary Tourism Association, AKA Olympic Culinary Loop, I wanted to make certain that we serve plenty of food that is indicative of the Olympic Peninsula. It kind of makes me wonder, why don't more Olympic Peninsula restaurants serve Roosevelt Elk?
This dish is easier to prepare than it is to source. There are no commercial Elk producers in Washington State, so our Elk comes from Oregon or British Columbia. To cook the Elk tenderloin we season the meat on one side with salt and pepper, place the meat on the grill seasoning side down, baste the top with a 50/50 blend of red wine and Worcestershire sauce, season the top side with salt and pepper, flip in due time and baste with previously mentioned steak baste, and remove from the grill when done. Cooking time will depend on surface to mass ratio of the meat, thickness of the meat, heat of the grill, desired doneness, etc…
As for the Spiced Huckleberry Gastrique, a gastrique is just a fancy word for a sugar and vinegar sauce. We cook huckleberries with sugar, vinegar, and ground pie spices, then puree in a blender. If you find the seeds to be unpleasant be certain to strain your gastrique.
Tell us what you think!

Watson nets for Houston in Champions League
A second-half headed goal by 28-year-old Jamaican Je-Vaughn Watson made certain that Houston Dynamo repelled FAS, 3-1, on Wednesday night at Estadio Cuscatlán, San Salvador in Group III of the CONCACAF Champions League.
All three goals from Houston were headers, with the US Major League Soccer team recording their first away victory in eight Champions League matches to join Olimpia of Honduras at the top of the group with three points.
