Yogscast - Guild Wars 2: Thief Spotlight
Today, we take a look at the thief, a sneaky class that doesn't actually have permanent stealth - more a series of temporary and evasive abilities that can really ruin someone's day. Apparently I missed a big chunk of skills out of this video - when stealthed your first ability changes and I had no idea! Hopefully next beta I'll have a chance to examine this one more closely. 48 hours was simply not enough to sleep properly and cover this game in any decent amount of depth. ● Yogscast Gear: yogscast.spreadshirt.co.uk ● Facebook: www.facebook.com ● Twitter: www.twitter.com ● Forums: yogscast.com ● Podcast: itunes.apple.com Length: 00:09:01

Evolution of J'can music (Part 2)
THE musicians who formed the Skatalites were successful jazz players on the live local circuit. By the band's formation in 1962, they had been doing studio sessions for Clement 'Coxson' Dodd, Duke Reid, Prince Buster and other producers for up to 10 years. For the sound systems operating then, R&B music was the staple played in the dances, but its popularity was on wane in North America. By the end of the decade, of necessity, the sound system operators began to produce their own music, initially, exclusively for their systems, and then eventually they released them through regular outlets.
Ska was, therefore, a replacement for R&B. The lasting significant influence of the R&B is the emphasis on the after-beat, which has become a main characteristic of Jamaican pop music. This, in fact, completed the ancestral/ spiritual connectivity and circle with clap-hand singing in Jamaica churches and mento music, which had earlier influenced American jazz at its dawn ... plantation music, was at the root of all these musical idioms.
At first, the ska beat was vibrant, mirroring the hopes, aspirations and optimism of the Jamaican masses. As hopes however, began to fade and disillusion set in, the first generation of post -independence musicians and artistes — influenced in large part by Rastafari — created two distinctive characteristics of Jamaican music. Firstly, there was a slowing down of the music and a stylistic change to stiletto sounding bass lines, as henceforth, it was not played on the first beat. Secondly, using many Rasta songs adopted from church hymns, social themes, including a recognition and honour of Africa, laments about poverty, topical and protest songs which urged us to preserve and protect our roots, became the dominant lyrics of the decade of the 60s.
In the 60s and the 70s rock steady and reggae music began to penetrate international markets through the works of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Dennis Brown, Millie Small, Desmond Dekker, Ken Boothe, Delroy Wilson, Alton Ellis, Bob Andy, Lee 'Scratch' Perry's music and numerous others. Through the appeal of their songs and the worldwide penetration of the touring Reggae Sunsplash festival, between 1984 and 1996, Reggae music became the anthems of the disenfranchised and dispossessed across the globe. The Rasta language was popularised through the music, becoming the lingua franca of the urban youths, freedom fighters and human rights activists, indigenous and repressed peoples.
Dancehall music arrived at the cusp of the technological revolution. With the discovery of digital recording in early to mid- 80s, Jamaica's output of recorded music per capita became greater than any other country in the world. While it has a heavy reliance on this technology, is totally stripped down, raw and minimalist, the rhythms of early dancehall music exemplified by the team of King Jammy, Steely and Clevie, were drawn from African-based, rural folk forms such as Etu, Pocomania and Kumina.
In its incipient stages, Reggae was promoted mainly by its Diaspora, but has since become main-stream. Today, everywhere in the world you go, people are listening to Reggae, from Ska to Dancehall. Generations have discovered that, culturally, reggae music and "livity" means a humane, spiritual, wholesome life. To quote Michael Manley, "it is commentary; satirical at times, often cruel; but its troubadours are not afraid to speak of love, of loyalty, of hope, of ideals, of justice, of new things and new forms. It is this assertion of revolutionary possibility that sets reggae apart."

I'm in a 16 team dynasty league, 6x6 (K/BB as the pitching addition), where you keep players indefinitely
The trade on the table is I give up Adam Wainwright and Zach Lee and I receive R.A. Dickey
Digging into Wainwright's profile, his K/9, BB/9 and GB% were all inline with his 2009/2010 seasons, the outliers were his BABIP and LOB%... both stats that generally regress to league averages... seeing as i didnt watch any of Wainwright's starts, (im a met fan and have an irrational love of all things dickey.... thats what she said) were these numbers a result of diminished control? Is he primed to jump back to the cy young level starter he was?
Age is also a consideration, because wainwright is a traditional power pitcher who is likely to decline somewhere between 33-36 and dickey could continue to pitch like this passed his 40th birthday.

What are risk factors for developing upper tract UCC?
1.Balkan nephropathy - degenerative interstitial nephropathy which accounts for up to 40% of all renal cancers. Does not affect bladder cancer. Increases risk 100-200 fold and more likely to develop bilateral UTUC
2. Smoking - increases risk 3-fold. Risk appears dose related and increases risk of ureteral tumors greater than renal pelvic tumors
3. Coffee consumption
4. Analgesic abuse
5. Exposure to coal, asphalt, tar, petroleum, aniline dyes and other amines
6. Hereditary - Lynch syndrome II associated with colon tumors. It is an AD defect in the DNA mismatch repair genes hMLH1 and hMSH2

What is the incidence comparing men and women and blacks and whites?
Men are affected twice as often than women; and whites are affected twice as often as blacks
Where is the highest incidence of upper tract UCC?
Balkan states - may account for up to 40% of all renal cancers
Where in the ureter is UCC most common?
Lower ureter (70%), then mid (25%) then upper (5%). Invasion is more common in ureter than in bladder
how many upper tract UCC are low grade?
as with bladder tumors, 55-75% are low-grade and low-stage, and 85% are papillary
Is bladder UCC or upper tract UCC more common?
Bladder. Upper tract is more often associated with familial syndromes though
What % does upper tract UCC account for all UCC
What % is found in the renal pelvis? Ureter?
60% is found in the renal pelvis while 40% is found in the ureter. When UTUC is in the ureter, it usually occurs in the distal ureter
What characteristics in bladder cancer increase the risk of UTUC?
0. Stage and grade of bladder UCC
1. CIS or HG UCC
2. bladder cancer at the UO, trigone, or bladder neck
3. Multifocal
4. VUR (20 fold increase)
5. UC at the ureteral margin during cystectomy
6. UC in the distal ureter during cystectomy
What is the chance of synchronous UTUC in patients with bladder cancer?
What is the chance of metachronous UTUC in pateints with CIS or high grade bladder cancer?
How many pts with UTUC develop a UCC of the bladder?
30-75%. Risk is likely associated with grade, stage, multifocality, CIS and other co-risk factors, such as smoke exposure
What is the chance of metachronous UTUC in pateints with papillary or low-grade bladder cancer?
After treatment of UTUC, what is the risk of recurrence in the contralateral upper urinary tract?
Differential diagnosis of an upper tract filling defect
1. Radiolucent stone
2. Blood clot
3. Renal papillae
4. Fungus ball
5. Extrinsic vascular compression
6. Renal parenchymal tumor

11. Endrometriosis
What is the gold standard for upper tract UCC for high grade, large, invasive, or multifocal disease?
Radical nephroureterectomy with excision of a bladder cuff to include the intramural portion of the ureter
What are nephron sparing techinques? When are they indicated?
1. Segmental parenchymal resection
2. Segmental ureteral resection with reconstruction
- end to end anastomisis
- direct bladder reimplantation
- reimplantation with bladder hitch or boari flap
- ureteral substitution (ileal ureter)
3. Open pyelotomy with tumor excision and ablation but requires a large extrarenal pelvis and a papillary low grade tumor
When is endoscopic treatment a good option?
Best reserved for low grade, unifocal lesions of the ureter, renal pelvis or upper pole calyx
What are the steps for retrograde URS management?
Use forceps or basket to debulk. treat base with fulguration or laser.
What are the steps for antegrade management?
Establish nephroscopy tract. Biopsy and fulguration. Chemotx through nephrostomy tube. Second look in 2-14 days.
Basic principles for instillation tx
- Can be performed through nephrostomy tube, retrograde with ureteral catheter, or reflux up an indwelling ureteral stent
- Rule out infection 1st
- Low pressure instillation
- Use BCG, mitomycin, or thiotepa
Where are the most common sites of metastasis?
lung, liver, bones, and regional lymph nodes
Where do recurrences occur after renal sparing therapy?
Almost always distal to the location of the original tumor
When fulgurating a UTUC tumor, which laser is preferred?
- holmium laser is preferred because the depth of penetration is less than 0.5mm and there is less risk for perforation
- commonly used setting is 0.6-1.0 joules at 8-10Hz
What are risks for endoscopic treatment?
perforation, ureteral stricture, gross hematuria, and infection
What should you do if a ureteral stricture occurs?
biopsy - it may indicate UTUC recurrence. if it is benign, balloon dilate or incise
How to evaluate patient with microhematuria or flank pain suspecte of UTUC
1. Laboratory evaluation includes liver and renal function tests, urinalysis and cytologies.
A. Cytology will identify most CIS and high-grade tumors but is often falsely negative with lowgrade
B. Upper tract washings may bemore sensitive than voided urine but likewise may be contaminated from the lower urinary tract.
C. Interpretation of cytologiesmay be hampered by contrast materials.
2. Radiographic evaluation
A. Includes the use of IVP, CT urograms and retrograde pyelograms
B. See Differential Dx for filling defects
3. Endoscopic evaluation
A. Ureteroscopy or nephroscopy
B. When combining radiographic evaluations and endoscopy, the diagnostic accuracy of an upper urinary tract defect is approximately 85%–90%.
5. Histologic correlation between ureteroscopic biopsy and final pathology is 78%–90%; however, it is often difficult to get a good specimen given the spatial limitations of small instruments. Therefore, correlation with grade and stage is poor and requires correlation
of endoscopic, cytologic and radiographic features.
AJCC 2010 TNM Staging
Tx – Primary tumor cannot be staged
T0 –No evidence of primary tumor
Ta –Noninvasive
Tis –Carcinoma-in-situ
T1 – Invades lamina propria
T2 – Invadesmuscularis
T3 – Invades sinus/peri-ureteral fat or renal parenchyma
T4 – Invades adjacent organs
Nodal Staging
N1 – Single node ≤ 2 cm
N2 –Nodes 2< x ≤ 5 cm
N3 –Nodes > 5 cm
Laparoscopic/Robotic approaches and open approaches
- As with RCC, treatment for upper tract urothelial cancer can be performed in an open or laparoscopic
technique. In choosing the approach, clinical and anatomic factors must be considered as well as the
comfort level and experience of the surgeon.
- Radical nephroureterectomy and nephron sparing techniques are also available for upper tract urothelial
- Radical nephroureterectomy with excision of a bladder cuff to include the intramural portion of the
ureter is considered the gold standard for large, high-grade, invasive ormultifocal tumors. Ipsilateral adrenalectomy is not considered necessary.
- Regional lymphadenectomy is usually performed for high-risk tumors as a staging measure. The therapeutic benefit of an extensive lymphadenectomy has not yet been determined butmay ultimately be shown to be of similar value as new data demonstrate in bladder cancer.
- Laparoscopic approaches for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas follow the same basic principles
as discussed in RCC. Approaches include:
* Pure laparoscopic trans or retroperitoneal surgery.
* Hand-assisted techniques.
- Management of the distal and intramural portion of the ureter should not be compromised. Options
* Open excision through a low extraction port.
* Aggressive transurethral resection of the ureteral orifice. This should be reserved for proximal, low-grade tumors.
* Intussusception (stripping) technique – after laparoscopic nephrectomy, a previously placed
ureteral catheter is used to intussuscept the ureter into the bladder where it is excised.
* Transvesical laparoscopic ligation and detachment – performed via 2 transvesical ports. The ureter is tented up and looped. A Collins knife is then used to circumscribe the orifice.
* Totally laparoscopic excision – requires laparoscopic detrusor incision with dissection of the intramural bladder cuff
When can nephron sparing options be performed and what options are there?
- Nephron-sparing approaches should be done for low-grade, low-stage lesions (open or endoscopic), and for relative or absolute indications as with RCC.
- Options include:
• Segmental parenchymal resection.
• Open pyelotomy with tumor excision and ablation. This is an uncommonmeans of treatment and generally requires a large extrarenal pelvis and a papillary low-grade tumor.
• Segmental ureteral resection with reconstruction. The type of reconstruction depends on the location and extent of the tumor, and includes:
* Primary end-to-end ureteral anastomosis.
* Direct bladder reimplantation.
* Reimplantation with bladder hitch or flap.
* Ureteral substitution (ie, ileal ureter).
Endoscopic approaches
* Ureteroscopy, pyeloscopy and nephroscopy
• Best preserved for low grade, unifocal lesions of the ureter, renal pelvis or upper pole calyx.
• Steps for retrograde ureteroscopicmanagement include:
* Endoscopic evaluation and collection of cytologies.
* Biopsy and definitive treatment.
• Tumor may be debulked with a forceps or basket. The base is then treated with fulgurationor laser. Holmium:Yag laser is safer in the ureter because of its shallower penetration (<0.5 mm). Settings for this laser are energy of 0.6–1 joule with a frequency of 8–10 hertz.
Nd:YAGmay be better in the pelvis. It works by coagulative necrosis and has a deeper penetration (5–6mm). Settings are 5–15 watts for 2 seconds.
• Tumor can be resected with a ureteral resectoscope. Extra care is needed in the mid to upper ureter.
* Antegrade percutaneousmanagement has the advantage of the ability to use larger instruments that can remove a larger volume of tumor. Staging and grading is ordinarily better as well given the amount of tumor that can be removed. Additionally, lower pole tumors aremore easily accessed and topic therapies canmore easily be applied. It is best reserved for larger, more extrarenal pelvices.
• Steps include:
* Establishment of a nephroscopy tract.
* Biopsy and definitive therapy.
* Second look within 4–14 days to allow for adequate healing with rebiopsy and fulguration of the base.
Results of endoscopic management:
• For retrograde management, the overall recurrence rates are approximately 30% and depend on stage, grade, size and focality.
• Complications of ureteroscopy and their management are similar to endoscopic management of stones.
• Series for antegrademanagement are small. Most low-grade, smaller, unifocal lesions do well. Higher grade, invasive lesions do worse. Nephroscopy tract seeding appears uncommon.
Instillation therapy
• Can be performed antegrade through a nephroscopy tract, retrograde through a ureteral catheter or by reflux up an indwelling ureteral stent.
• Basic principles include:
* Rule out infection first.
* Low-pressure instillation.
•Most series are small, retrospective, highly selected and not controlled.
• The same agents used in bladder cancer have been used in the upper urinary tracts including BCG, mitomycin and thiotepa.
• The accumulated experience appears encouraging in properly selected patients.
• Most common complication of upper tract instillation is sepsis.
Systemic therapy
• Small, highly selected series evaluating adjuvant radiation suggest it may decrease local recurrence
but not systemic disease.
• Both induction (neoadjuvant) and adjuvant therapies are reasonable. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be a reasonable option for patients with bulky regional adenopathy.
• There are no prospective controlled trials evaluating chemotherapy for upper urinary tract urothelial cancers. Most of the data are extrapolations frombladder cancer series

What's that? You haven't been watching the quarterfinal round of the Italian League's playoffs? No problem: BallinEurope's man in Italy, Enrico Cellini has – and he posts today about just what you've been missing, namely two cliffhanging, nail-biting finishes that finished off Virtus Bologna. (Ironically and mournfully, BiE notes Bologna's elimination as dated the same as Kobe Bryant's 2011-12 Los Angeles Lakers.) Cellini promises that the videos are the centerpiece and so those looking for classic buzzer-beaters need search no further than below the break.
Revealed: The EuroChallenge championship curse
Well, Uygar Karaca may convince believers otherwise. In the first of a two-part series for BallinEurope.com, Karaca flips through the pages of recent EuroChallenge history to reveal the success – or lack thereof – championship clubs have experienced directly following a title bid. Hint: It's pretty bleak stuff after 2004. Sorry, Beşiktaş…
Winning a competition, especially on the Continental level, is a great achievement. However, titles come with a price. When success exposes players to the market, for example, clubs with better offers take the stars away. Alternatively, in order to get a trophy, clubs sometimes spend more than they can afford, which triggers the process of eventual financial collapse.
In this article, I tried to see whether winning the FIBA EuroChallenge tournament signals brighter days for the club or rather indicates a peak with the way forward pointing downward. Continue Reading…
Referee scandals in Russia lead to protest, in Italy to suspensions
According to Spain-based SoloBasket, these were certainly enough oddity for the losing side, Spartak St. Petersburg, to file an official protest in the wake of the 82-73 loss to Triumph Lyubertsy.
At that time, BiE wondered whether this was an "epic display of flopping, personal vendetta or match-fixing conspiracy." Clearly head coach Jure Zdovc has at least personally eliminated the "flopping" option.
A "classic Italian mess": National basketball federation suspends 15 referees for wearing the wrong uniform
A bit of a weird one from Italy for you this morning … BallinEurope contributing writer Enrico Cellini reports on a symbolic protest within his country's national basketball league which subsequently saw nearly half the Serie A referees – including the well-esteemed Fabio Facchini, one of two Italians who will be calling games at the 2012 Olympic Games – suspended.
On March 17th and 18th, 19 Serie A referees opted for the orange jerseys they used to wear last season instead of the 2011-2012 grey uniforms. Unlike those NBA teams that go for vintage-style uniforms to reminisce about their roots (and sell some more jerseys at their stores), the old-school fashion displayed by the refs was intended as a clear signal to the Italian Basketball Federation and the basketball world as a whole.
The federation got the signal, did not like it at all, chastised the rebel refs and eventually suspended 15 of them!
Marco Bellinelli: "Chris Paul is the best PG", "I want to stay in the NBA"
The Italian-language version of MSN news is today running an exclusive interview with Marco Belinelli, the New Orleans Hornet whom the outlet calls "the most American-style" of all three of Italy's NBAers. Belinelli weighs in on all things NBA; some choice quotes include the following.
"Obviously, [Chris Paul] is the best [point guard] in the league, a true star," ("Ovviamente CP3 è il miglior play della lega") says the Italian of his former Hornets teammate. "Playing with him has made me grow a lot, made me discover aspects of my game and my capacities…"
Win any European dunk contest: James White shows how in six easy steps
All accolades and trophies aside, however, BallinEurope's man in Italy, Enrico Cellini, notes that White has simply got this dunk contest-winning thing down to a science. Would you like to win your next dunk competition in Europe? Cellini, White and good ol' YouTube show you how in six easy steps.
After dominating his fourth dunk contest within European all-star game weekends – previous wins include those in Turkey in 2008, Russia in 2010 and Italy last year) by displaying his trademark repertoire, James White should really work on a handy guide containing the must-do tricks for guaranteed success in any dunk contest on The Continent. It would go pretty much like this:
The Italian Maccabi: Why Montepaschi Siena must win the Euroleague
With the Euroleague quarterfinals tournament beginning later this month, many are penciling in either CSKA Moscow or FC Barcelona as 2011-12 title holders. (Indeed, the odds at a representative sportsbook have the former at 4/5 and the latter at 5/2.) Meanwhile, relative dark horse Montepaschi Siena (running, with shortest odds, at 11/1) may be under the most pressure to finally win this ever-elusive championship.
BallinEurope's man in Italy, Enrico Cellini, tells us of the overwhelming importance of this year's tournament for the dominant Serie A club – and why you shouldn't go to sleep on these guys despite the presence of monster teams in the final four round…
It must have happened to everyone, regardless of the sport you've played in your life. You were once a player or part of a team that was way better than anyone else in your school, league or even playground. After winning it all at home, you get a pass to the next level and have the chance to compete on faraway stages.
The first thing you realize as soon as you leave your habitat is that there are far too many guys who are taller, bigger and, ultimately, better than any opponent you've been used to.
Yeah, kicking ass at your old playground is still cool, but you now have some bigger butts to aim at. You can't really call yourself satisfied as long as you get out-bullied by someone every time you move away from home.
This is exactly how Montepaschi Siena feels right now: For the Siena organization, status as a juggernaut at home makes any Euroleague failures even harder to digest.
In the last five years, head coach Simone Pianigiani's team has won pretty much everything winnable in Italy (five national championships, four national cups, five national super cups) while never giving any other team a real chance to disturb the dominance.
When it comes to the Euroleague though, Siena has historically missed that little something to step up and make it to the highest spot on the podium, settling for third place in 2011 and 2008, and consecutive fourth-place finishes when Pianigiani was assistant coaching in 2003 and 2004..
Year after year, Siena has added new guns to a solid core of reliable veterans, accumulating experience as well as distress at the lack of results. The lingering fear is that Montepaschi is becoming a Maccabiesque team, namely an undisputed monopolist of a declining national league – notwithstanding, the Italian league remains more challenging than the Ligat Ha'Al –that strives to compete with the other European elite teams.
But how could you possibly improve more than Siena has season after season? What else can you bring to the table with the budget of a small and young reality? Siena president/general director Ferdinando Minucci has won on lots of gambles (e.g. Terrell McIntyre, Romain Sato, Bo McCalebb) and never resisted efforts every year to improve a team dominating the national league on a regular basis.
Now, Siena has the depth and consistency to beat Olympiacos in a best-of-five showdown and is equipped with a number of high-inflammable talented scorers (McCalebb, Igor Rakocevic, Pietro Aradori, Ksistof Lavrinovic) who can make the difference in no-tomorrow games in the Istanbul Final Four.
The feeling is that Siena is already set to win the Euroleague and just needs that extra sparkle, that unnamed little something, to finally ignite the last momentum. There is little time left to wait: Should the title not arrive in Istanbul, it may become necessary to revolutionize the current team and start a new project.
Courtesy of a group of players led by Sarunas Jasikievicius at the peak of his career, Maccabi Tel Aviv finally broke the European spell and brought home a couple of Euroleague titles back in 2004 and 2005. After the back-to-back wins, Saras crossed the ocean and sought fortune in the NBA.
McCalebb, currently the most dominant point guard in Europe by far, declared he won't go to the NBA next season. Is he waiting to pull of a back-to-back Maccabi-like trick?
Enrico Cellini is lifelong basketball fanatic and a long-time sportswriter with a focus on Italy and Spain. He was born among European hoops, was raised watching the NBA, and thinks choosing between American and European basketball is like choosing between one's mother and father. You can follow him on Twitter or check out his Italian-language blog Hoop Addicted.
National Cups: Real Madrid ends 19 years of futility; Beşiktaş, Chalon take first-ever titles; Montepaschi Siena continues dominance
Congratulations go out from BallinEurope today to a quartet of national Cup holders in Real Madrid, Beşiktaş Milangaz, Chalon-sur-Saone and Montepaschi Siena. The former three victories are set to be particularly noted in club annals: Real ended a 19-year drought while Beşiktaş and Chalon both bagged their first-ever championships in their respective national cup tournaments after each were runners-up in 2011. Below run game wraps and highlight clips.
In Spain, Madrid won their first Spanish Cup since Arvydas Sabonis was on the team with a convincing 92-74 victory over FC Barcelona on the Blaugrana home court. Twenty-three was the magic number for Los Blancos, as Madrid took its 23rd such title behind 23 points from tournament MVP Sergio Llull. An extrapolation from the Liga Endesa's official site goes something like the following.
Happy birthday, Team USA killer Oscar Schmidt!
BallinEurope wishes a happy birthday to longtime Team Brazil, Spanish League and Italian Serie A legend Oscar Schmidt, who today is 54 years old.
Over a career spanning three decades and five Olympic Games, Schmidt scored a total of 49,703 career points, recognized by FIBA as the most-ever in a career.
(The identity of the second-highest point scorer remains a bit elusive for BiE, but for comparison's sake, all-time NBA scoring leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was good for 38,387 in his playing days; Nikos Gallis totaled 24,759 in all competitions.)
Euroleague Power Rankings: Do-or-die Week Edition
The key word in week three of the 2011-12 Euroleague Top 16 round: Blowout. The closest game was decided by eight points (Bennet Cantù 82, Maccabi Tel Aviv 74) and the average match showed a 16-point differential as certain teams (CSKA Moscow, FC Barcelona, Montepaschi Siena) asserted their superiority, a couple of sleeping giants (Olympiacos, Panathinaikos) stirred, and two (Unicaja Malaga, Emporio Armani Milano) firmly established themselves as this stage's busts.
Going into tonight's games four, nothing has changed within the elite, though mid-pack much jostling for position may be seen. With the group leaders all in excellent position to at least solidify a strong hold on a semifinals berth, this could prove to be a make-or-break week for no fewer than those nine sides in the scrum.
The key word for week four, then, in BallinEurope's estimation: Injuries. The 'bug is truly hunkering down amid some Euroleague teams, and one could build a pretty decent roster from those who are out, questionable or hampered this week. Potential difference-makers who will be sitting include, among others, Viktor Khryapa (CSKA); Ante Tomic (Real Madrid); Omer Onan, Marko Tomas (Milano); Kerem Gonlum, Ermal Kuqo (Anadolu Efes); Steven Smith (PAO); and Shawn James (Maccabi Tel Aviv).
Below run another edition of the BiE power rankings as we enter this decisive week. Once again, please note that these rankings are an indicator of how teams are trending, with some consideration given to play in other leagues and heavy emphasis on Euroleague results.
Without further ado, then, onto the rankings! Go ahead, you can guess the first four, surely…

I'm here today to talk to you about a very important subject. This is a subject that touches us all. It's a subject that keeps me awake at night, even more than world hunger or those Sara McLachlan commercials where she tries to get people to adopt abused animals, and they show pictures of abused animals and it's really sad and the play sad music and the animals stare at the camera all sad-eyed, and you just want to cry....I'm sorry, what was I talking about?
Oh right, I came here to talk to you about a very important subject: disrespect. Disrespect toward what, you ask? Toward our team? Toward a player? Toward your own mother (yes, I'm talking to you, Jeffrey!) (I really hope there's a Jeffrey reading this. Bet I totally freaked you out, huh buddy?). Read on after the jump and find out.
Hey, I'm glad you decided to read past the jump. Ok, so yeah, remember how I was saying there's some disrespect, and it's really important? Well, I'm talking about the disrespect toward Andy Greene's beard, and the most disconcerting part of this disrespect is that it is largely coming from Devils fans. There is a very significant number of people even on this very site who are guilty of this crime against beards (I won't name names, but we know who you are and you should be ashamed, and by "we" I mean the beard and I).
Why, just yesterday there was a post about playoff beards, and all one has to do is visit that thread to witness this vile disregard of the greatness and grandiosity of The Great Beard of the Greene.
There are people who actually exist and who posses -- quite bafflingly, I might add -- normally developed brains, and yet somehow hold the opinion that David Clarkson has a better beard. REALLY? You go on the Internet, and you spew this filth? You know that your comments here will be on the Internet somewhere until the apocalypse comes, right? Because down the road you will wish that you hadn't said this through a medium that will lead to its eternal existence in the bowels of the Internet superhighway, and one day you'll wish you hadn't said it. One day a potential employer will Google you, see that comment, and make an immediate decision to not hire you.
This issue is like civil rights. Sooner or later, history will judge you. And that judgment will be harsh.
Let me tell you something about playoff beards. Playoff beards aren't judged on neatness. They're not judged on whose beard is the prettiest. What is this, an election for a high school's class president? NO! Playoff beards are measured by three categories, AND ONLY THREE: Density, lushness, and Viewing Experience (the last one refers to how pleasurable the viewing of the beard is for the observer, and this is enjoyment is measured by the performance in the first two categories). These are the only ways a playoff beard is judged, because a playoff beard is a special kind of beard. It's not about looking nice. It's not about being groomed. In fact, any grooming at all whatsoever results in AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION.
I conclusion, Andy Greene's beard is the best, grandest, most splendid, stupendous, stupefyingly resplendent beard in these playoffs. It is a beard of the highest order. It is a symbol even in the annals of beard history of greatness. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE BEARD OF ANDY GREENE IS A BEARD WORTH IMMENSE RESPECT, A LEADER WHICH TO FOLLOW. IT IS THE BEARD.
AND THIS BEARD HAS A TWITTER ACCOUNT: https://twitter.com/BeardofGreene Period. End of story. Vote in the poll NOW.

Day 3 of no TV!
Yesterday I wasn't at home long enough to even notice. I got home from work at 7, ate dinner with Mark, and then we went for a swim together. It was great to get some good exercise after sitting on my butt all day at work.
As I've mentioned on here before, one of my biggest tips for staying healthy when super busy is to plan ahead! I'll sit down on Sunday and plan out my week- nights I'll exercise, meals that we'll eat, who's making what meal, and sometimes, I'll even try and pre-plan out my blog posts. It takes time on Sunday but the pay off throughout the week is well worth it. As such, I thought I'd share some meals I've been eating lately. It's much more fun to do it after I've already had them- since then there are pictures that go with it.
As always, if you're curious about how to make something- let me know. I can either direct you on where I got the recipe from, or let you know what the recipe was that I used.
Last week:
Monday: Chilli with soy meat and cheese bread:
Mark made this and it was DELICIOUS. It had a nice kick of spice in it, due to the jalapenos, but also had red and orange peppers, mushrooms, beans and a bunch of tomatoes.
Tuesday: Salad rolls with peanut sauce:
After last weekend's get together, I had a ton of leftover peanut sauce. It was too delicious to go to waste, so I made us salad rolls early in the week. I could honestly eat salad rolls every day because I love them that much- it's a slight obsession of mine.
Wednesday: Chicken burgers and kale salad
The burgers were super simple- chicken meat, feta and a bunch of spinach, eaten on a whole wheat bun with some mayo, mustard, hot sauce, tomatoes and a pickle. The kale salad was loosely made off of Ohsheglows recipe's: Weekend Glow Salad. I say loosely because we pretty much just make the dressing, and then add whatever toppings we have in the fridge. This one had red peppers, apples, craisins and walnuts.
After this meal was when I started to feel sick, so I didn't take pictures of the next few. Imagine a lot of chicken noodle soup and tea from Thursday through Saturday. I was finally feeling up to real food by Sunday.
Chicken stir fry on noodles. This was delicious! The sauce was homemade, and included peanut butter, oyster sauce, a bit of honey and water. It was nice and light, but so tasty.
Monday night: Homemade pizza
This pizza was so light and tasty. I made the dough using eatliverun's recipe, and then we topped it with a bunch of veggies and cheese. Mark's also had bacon and pepperoni.
And that's what about a week's worth of dinner's in my house look like.
Do you have a "go-to" dish that you usually make for dinner?

Does James Franco sleep? It seems this guy spends every waking moment being productive and at the rate of his output, he'll have enough work to start filling his own museum and frankly, we wouldn't be surprised if he built one. The James Franco Museum Of James Franco Stuff. Yeah, we could dig that.
Anyway, the folks over at Cinematical have come across the actor's latest artistic endeavor, a show at the Gagosian Gallery that he's exhibiting along with Gus Van Sant. His work is essentially two films constructed out of footage from "My Own Private Idaho."
First up is "My Own Private River" which, as the title suggests, "consists largely of shots of River Phoenix's character, Mike, woven into a compelling portrait." The film features a score by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, who is hilariously described as an "art school drop out" in the description of the piece. However, it's the second film that is grabbing the most attention.
For "Endless Idaho," Franco used outtakes, deleted scenes, alternate takes and behind-the-scenes footage to create a 12-hour film about the "workaday process of making a movie, from location scouting to repeated takes." We guess it'll be like watching a bunch of people work on a movie set (ie. dullsville). But if you're a diehard fan of "My Own Private Idaho," this is pretty much your goldmine, and it should be noted that the film also features "interviews with actual hustlers who played secondary characters in 'My Own Private Idaho' are intercut with shots of River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves improvising and refining their performances under the direction of Van Sant and his crew." Hey Criterion, if you ever want to re-release "My Own Private Idaho," your special features material is right here.
The exhibit will be on display from February 26-April 9th. And oh yeah, Van Sant also has eight works on paper in the show as well. Hit the gallery site for details on screening times and more.

@BuntyHoven I would love to see that movie.
BuntyHoven | February 23, 2011 5:58 AM
They should do some Charlie Kaufman-esque meta comedy, a sort of mix between Being John Malkovich and The Prestige and Multiplicity, about how there are really several James Francos created by the original Franco to rework the artistic world in his own image. Or something.
Cool Dude | February 23, 2011 5:56 AM
What's his problem?
rotch | February 23, 2011 5:55 AM
If one reads every single James Franco story from the past 5 months, it starts to feel like a crazy, Andy Kaufman-esque stunt.

What I mean by this is that people doing QA are failing to do their job!
I have been trying to publish one application now 3 times(and it has been taking around 2 months). Every time it has been failing to pass QA.
First round there was real bug. Good job ovi QA! I fixed it, and send new version to OVI QA. But still OVI QA is saying that the same thing is failing. But because it is working in my testing 100%, I can not really fix working code.. So I removed the whole "failing" part from application, just to see can it pass now. The weirdest thing is that still OVI QA is reporting that exactly same failure, even that specific functionality has been removed!!
I'm asking ovi QA ppl, please comment on this! I have been sending email to you(email@example.com), but I have never got any reply. This is really frustrating!

More great cottages
We know how important it is to visit somewhere that is not only very special, but also clean, comfortable and well-equipped. All the necessities, as well as some luxuries, are included in the price. As seasoned holiday cottage visitors ourselves, we know how dispiriting it can be to arrive somewhere late at night to find that not even soap, matches or washing-up liquid have been supplied. All our cottages are on the coast or within easy reach of it, and have been chosen because they have something really special about them whether it is amazing historical features, some superb views or great access to beaches and cliff walks.

I've been trying hard over the last few days to find the time to write this blog but as usual I've been rushing around non-stop. I was up before 4am this morning to catch an early flight from Gatwick to Cologne and now it's evening and I'm in my hotel which is literally trackside at the Nurburgring. I'll be assisting Ryan Cullen and my friends at Jamun Racing in the Formula Ford EuroCup event this weekend. I'd also love to have a look at the legendary Nordschleife if I get any spare time!
It was certainly an eventful last weekend at Croft in the Protyre Formula Renault BARC Championship and whilst on paper it may not look like a particularly good result for us, when you look at all the circumstances surrounding it actually didn't turn out too bad at all. In fact for a while I wasn't even sure that I would be driving at Croft at all.
Unfortunately a few days before the weekend we parted company with Cliff Dempsey Racing so we virtually ran the car ourselves with some very welcome and valuable help from some of my old friends from Jamun Racing, with the race entry going in under the banner of Cullen Motorsport. I'd really like to thank Patrick Cullen for pulling out all the stops for me and for all is help to date this season. I'd also like to thank Cliff Dempsey Racing for all their hard work in the first half of the season and I was pleased to see that they were able to secure the services of James Theodore last weekend.
As I'd never raced at Croft before we knew that we would be up against it this weekend as I had just the 15 minute warm up to get to grips with the circuit, and even this was cut a little short because of Seb Morris' unfortunate accident.
We had a small problem in the first qualifying session and that limited our running somewhat, although we were in 2nd place when the red flags were deployed with less than 10 minutes left. Unfortunately the track must have become a little quicker later on as I watched my qualifying position tumble from 2nd to 5th in the last couple of laps before the session ended. We did get out for one final lap to try improve our time right at the last knockings but unfortunately there was a second red flag so that was that.
For qualifying session two we were in much better shape and up to third. We then set a lap time late in the session that our data told us would have set pole position. Unfortunately I was just metres from the start finish timing beam when the red flags were again deployed so the lap didn't count and I had to settle for third. We spent the rest of Saturday removing the differential, which the officials kindly asked for an inspection of, scuppering any hopes of an early finish!
I made a decent start in race one, which was held early on Sunday afternoon, but was unable to get past Seb Morris who in turn was trying to move forward. I did pass him around the outside near the end of lap three but Walsh decided to try to follow through and there was a coming together between him and Morris which just caught my offside rear, putting a cut into my tyre. I was able to continue ok but the incident had slightly delayed me and I had a lot of ground to make up on third placed James Fletcher and 2nd placed Kieron Vernon. I worked very hard to bridge the gap and by the end of the race was right on Fletcher but we'd run out of laps. I had a look at the inside of Fletcher at the hairpin going up to the chequered flag but just couldn't get alongside.
I felt very confident for race two. I'd now had enough running to learn the circuit properly and I felt sure that some changes we had made to the car would improve things. MGR Team mates Wagner & Webster had a front row lock out and I would start on grid 3.
I made a good start and was up to 2nd, past pole man Wagner who slipped back to 3rd, with his team mate (and race one winner) Josh Webster grabbing the lead. Josh was able to build quite a gap over the first few laps – in fact he was 1.5 seconds to the good. But I knew my game plan and it began to work splendidly when I reeled Josh in bit by bit, setting a sequence of fastest laps in the process. At just over half distance I was on Josh's gearbox and with plenty of time left to make the all important pass when, unfortunately, the safety car was deployed. This really wasn't what I wanted to see! I knew that Josh had over worked his tyres and now both they and he would have a breather and a chance to recover from the relentless pressure I was placing him under.
When the safety car pitted Josh was able to gap me again but this time by only 0.8 of a second. I was soon on him and thought things may go my way at one stage when Josh had it all sideways, but unfortunately I was too close to take advantage and had to brake to avoid hitting him. As we began the final lap I was right on his tail when Josh ran over some debris, which turned out to be front wing main plate. It smashed into smithereens and sent carbon fibre shards flying in all directions. I actually received a face full of them and a nasty chip was put into my crash helmet and even bigger hole into my front nose cone. Somehow or another Josh managed to avoid receiving a puncture and was able to complete the lap to take the win with me a close 2nd in pursuit. I did however have the consolation of fastest lap of the race, as I did at Thruxton, which isn't too shabby considering I hadn't raced at either circuit before.
A journalist asked me at the weekend if I was enjoying my racing as much this year and I had to answer with an emphatic yes! Of course it's been a completely different season to last year where we were lucky to settle our deal early with Jamun Racing, did a fair amount of pre-season testing and quite a bit of in season as well. From that perspective we were far better prepared and organised and, with the exception of Spa and Zolder, I'd competed at all the circuits before and even at those we did some pre-event testing.
This season has been far more disjointed and seat of the pants but it keeps the adrenalin running and if you aspire to be a professional race driver then you have to cope with many different sets of circumstances. To be honest I've just been grateful to be able to keep racing at all because as late as the end of March it looked as though I would be sitting out much of the year.
My goal for the remaining events is just to try to win some more races. I was unlucky not to win first time out at Snetterton when the gear linkage broke and of course looked set for a win double at Thruxton when Webster ran into the back of me near the end of race two. I also feel a win was definitely on at Croft last weekend in race 2 but for the safety car. So naturally I'm not happy that two or three good opportunities to win have been snatched away from me but then show me any racing driver worth his salt that would be! As Ayrton Senna said "When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough".
The Protyre Formula Renault BARC Championship has really been going from strength to strength this season and has proved that if you have the right product you can buck the trend even in these harsh economic times. It was great to see such a healthy grid of cars again at the weekend (as it has been all season) and long may it continue.
As well as racing myself, things have been incredibly hectic elsewhere as I have been to Spa and Zandvoort helping Ryan Cullen in Formula Ford EcoBoost. Now I am off to the Nurburgring and next weekend we are at Snetterton. In between I have been doing my usual day job with the kart team so it's been busy, busy, busy as usual with barely a day off! But I realise I'm lucky to be in demand and even luckier to be racing.
I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped in one way or another this weekend and for the support shown. A Special thank you must go to Cullen Motorsport and SDS as well as Stephen, Tom, Andy, Lewis, Marcus and Josef (you are the best) and last but not least to my loyal supporter Lynne Baines (Baines Leasing) for sorting out my hotel arrangements for the weekend. I couldn't do any of this without all your help!
I'll be back blogging soon!
All the best,

If you don't know the alarming statistics already, south Reno Home Depot's Jason Draper was there to tell us: "25% of our home burglaries occur during the next month."
He's right. According to FBI, a full quarter, or about 500,000 in the U.S., forced entry home burglaries happen from Thanksgiving to New Year's. Burglars are now casing homes for expensive gifts bought for Christmas. The shorter days allow them to work more in the dark, and families travel during the holidays for empty homes.
Here in Reno, Draper told us that too many learn the hard way. "On a daily basis, we get customers who come in here who either need a new door because somebody broke it down, or a new window because somebody broke in through it." Yes, every day in that one store.
With a simple twist of your door's deadbolt, you're safe. Or so you think. What's the biggest surprise to these victims? That a hard kick can open an old lock. You may not know that, but the crooks do. Draper says get a new lock, even if your old one is still working. He says, "Now they're making them so that they can't be picked, so that you can't kick them and break the pins."
He told us most burglars prefer windows to get in, so get a window lock. As he showed us, "They cost less than $3. This one here is $2.65."
And outside lighting means somebody's home. There are new solar ones that never let you down…they work even when the power's out. Draper showed us one that "has a 15-watt bulb that's included in it, but it provides just as much light as a 75 watt regular bulb."
The second danger is fire. Most of them occur now, in late fall and winter. More than 300,000 residential fires a year are reported in the U.S., according to the National Fire Protection Association. There are more candles, Christmas tree fires, holiday cooking and lights and overloaded circuits. The cold weather triggers fires from heating systems, propane heaters and fireplaces.
And…lots of space heaters that are too often the cause of winter home fires. The south Reno Home Depot's Jim Steelman has been in this business for 19 years. He says we've come a long way from the days when space heaters were like a match to a flame. He told us that back then, "If the heater fell over, the heater would still be running because it didn't have a mechanism to shut it off. Then it would heat the carpet up and start a fire." The new portable heaters shut off when tipped over, and carpets are now fire resistant.
And how many times have we all heard about a terrible home fire where the smoke alarm had dead batteries? That may become a problem of the past with what's new on the market: "never replace the battery" smoke alarms we saw on the shelf. Jim told us they're "up to 10 years maintenance free on those. And this one has a voice alarm so it will tell you to get out of your house if there's a fire."
Next Saturday, December 8th, you're invited to the Home Depot in Sparks to learn more about protecting your home. You'll learn how to escape a fire, kids can visit a fire safety workshop, and the first 100 to attend get a free smoke alarm installation. That's next Saturday starting at 11:00am, at the Sparks Home Depot, 4655 Galleria Parkway.

Turner Gill is not interested in the vacant Iowa State head coaching job, and in fact, has signed a contract extension and will remain at Buffalo. ESPN is reporting that Gill's contract will make him one of the highest paid coaches in the MAC.
Meanwhile, Charles Barkley continues to criticize his alma mater, saying that race was the reason Auburn didn't select Gill.
"I'm just very disappointed," Barkley said. "I just thought Turner Gill would be the perfect choice for two reasons: He's a terrific coach and we needed to make a splash. I thought we had to do something spectacular to bring attention to the program. Clearly, if we'd hired a black coach, it would have created a buzz."
"My biggest problem with the black coaches is they're not getting jobs and they're getting [expletive] jobs when they are hired," Barkley said. "They're not getting good jobs. They're not getting jobs where they can be successful. That's why I wanted Turner to get the Auburn job. He could win consistently at Auburn. You can't win consistently at New Mexico. You can't win consistently at Kansas State. He could have won at Auburn."
