The Chic Daily is a blog dedicated to reporting the latest fashion, beauty and health & fitness news and trends. The blog is produced by members of The Fashion Journalist Club at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.
The Fashion Journalist Club is a student-run club based on Arizona State University's Downtown Phoenix Campus. It consists of passionate writers who dream of working in the fashion journalism industry.
Hello ladies and gents! My name is Stacia Affelt and I am honored and excited to be taking over as President of the Fashion Journalist Club beginning May 2013. I live and breathe fashion. Ever since I could dress myself, I have spent hours creating new outfits in my closet and shopping for even more clothes at Free People, Nordstrom Rack, and Forever 21. I love that my friends and family always come to me for advice on what to wear and refer to me as the fashionista of the group. I take this role seriously and do not believe in being "overdressed" for any occasion. When I'm not pretending to strut the streets of Downtown Phoenix, you can find me watching Project Runway, America's Next Top Model or Breakfast at Tiffany's. I hope to employ my journalism degree and marketing certificate to one day become a successful fashion journalist residing in the city. My dream is to write for Glamour, my all-time favorite magazine, and live a comfortable life writing and looking my best.
Hey fellow fashionistas! My name is Tamara Kraus, and I was elected the Vice President in May 2013 and couldn't be more excited for what we have in store this year. Two of my passions include journalism and fashion, and I hope to inspire you through these mechanisms as I continue to learn more about the world around me through style. I am a sophomore at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and Barrett, the Honors College. In addition to pursing a combined bachelor's and master's degree in print journalism, I am also getting a certificate in sales and marketing at the W.P. Carey School of Business. I wouldn't say there is one word that describes my style, as I love to experiment with different looks each day. After all, playing dress up isn't just a game for young girls! Although fashion may seem superficial, I believe there is something more meaningful when it comes to clothes, trends and accessories than just their outer appearance-they reveal the story of our lives. Phoenix is a city booming with the next fashion trends, and I cannot wait to uncover what it has to tell us!
My name is Audrey Weil, and I was elected as the Executive Editor in December 2012. I am an aspiring television news reporter with a passion for fashion. I believe that fashion is a great way to learn about history, technology, culture, and art. But most importantly, it's about self-expression and creativity. I would describe my style as classic with a subtle trendy twist. My fashion icon is Audrey Hepburn and not just because we have the same name. In my opinion, the styles that transcend time are the best styles; there's nothing like the little black dress or Audrey's straight-legged capris. But that doesn't mean I don't like to shake up my wardrobe every now and then. I like bright colors and my favorite accessory is the belt! Let me know if you want to borrow one—I have plenty!
Hello to all you lovely fashionistas! My name is Alexa Salari, I was elected as the Co-Editor in May 2013 and I cannot wait to begin this school year with the Fashion Journalist Club at Arizona State University. I am a sophomore attending the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and Barrett, the Honors College. I am currently pursuing a combined bachelor's and master's degree in broadcast journalism, hoping to one day turn my passion for both fashion and writing into a career as an entertainment reporter. I would describe my sense of style as sophisticated yet still young and fun—I cannot get enough of those fitted black blazers. I am excited to explore and discover new trends in this evolving fashion world!

Justin Rose stands alone atop the 8-man field for the 2012 Turkish Airlines World Golf Final after defeating Lee Westwood in the finals on Friday in Belek, Turkey. Rose beat his Ryder Cup teammate and fellow Englishman with a 5-under 66 to win the $1.5 million purse.
Rose won all five of his matches en route to the title, including a Thursday win over Tiger Woods to set up Friday's title match. He birdied the opening hole Friday and led the rest of the way. Westwood got as close to a shot behind after birdying No. 16, but Rose clinched the win with a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 17. Rose had similar success on the 17th at the Ryder Cup to help the Europeans beat the Americans:
"The 17th green has been really good to me this week, as I holed my second shot there yesterday and, of course, the 17th at Medinah turned around my match against Phil," Rose said. "But you have to be pleased to go through this whole week after winning all my five matches."

Mark Prior has signed a 1 year deal with the Padres. I think this is a great signing. It is exactly the sort of smart move which a team needs to make. If Prior is healthy for any somewhat extended part of the season, and performs the way he's capable of, I think this is would be one of the biggest value signings in the game this offseason.
I do wonder about the shape of Prior's shoulder, though. I'd read reports of it's uncertain status as scaring teams off. I wonder just how Prior will return in 2008, if at all.
Still, the risk/reward on this deal is fabulous, and you have to like this signing for San Diego.

Looking for a palette to help you achieve an everyday look to a smokey eye for night? Then this palette of bare must-have eyeshadows will make it easy to bring out and enhance the natural beauty of your eyes.
The Naturally Bare kit is anything but boring! It is shimmery but definitely not overkill. The shadow is highly pigmented and does a great job at half the price of the Naked palette. The colors blend well and worked nicely into my skin. Also, the shadows stayed in place without creasing or smudging. The colors are great and diverse. The consistency is fantastic and the shadows went on easily.
Let's talk about the packaging. It is slightly flimsy and the shadows come in your standard round pots. The bottom is rubber, which is a change for me. I did find that it trapped dirt and smudged easily. But that's the bottom where you hardly anyone looks.
I would recommend this to a friend. The colors are great and easier on the wallet than some others you may find. However, if you are not a fan of shimmer, then you may not want to buy this palette, but you may find something with the other two palettes. I am a huge fan of this palette.
The Bright Up Your Life Naturally Bare palette retails for $24.00. It may be purchased at Ulta, www.beautybridge.com and www.birchbox.com.

Rep. Bell: Support for TN Health Freedom Act Grows After U.S. House Vote
State Rep. Mike Bell said Monday that, since the U.S. House approved a health care reform bill Sunday, he has received a huge outpouring of support for a bill declaring Tennesseans can ignore federal health care mandates and calling on the attorney general to fight them in court.
"The actions of the federal government yesterday have made Tennesseans mad from Memphis to Mountain City," said Bell, R-Riceville. "My phone has been ringing off the wall... and I haven't been able to deal with all the emails."
Bell is House sponsor of the 'Tennessee Health Freedom Act,' (SB3498, as amended), which has already been approved on a 26-1 vote, with five members abstaining, in the state Senate. It is scheduled for its first vote on the House side Wednesday, when the measure comes before a subcommittee of the House Commerce Committee.
The bill says that the states, not the federal government, have power to determine health care policy.
"It is declared that the public policy of this state, consistent with our constitutionally recognized and inalienable rights of liberty, is that every person within this state is and shall be free to choose or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services without penalty or threat of penalty by the federal government of the United States of America," says one part of the bill.
Another provision says that the state attorney general has a duty to oppose a federal health care mandate through legal action. Bell said that would include Tennesseans who are require to purchase insurance under terms of the bill or face civil penalties if they do not.
The bill passed the Senate without debate last month, when the federal legislation was still pending. Sen. Mae Beavers, R-Mount Juliet, said the bill will protect the rights of Tennesseans "to participate or not participate" in a health insurance plan.
"It is not inconceivable, if they could do this, they could also mandate that each of us buy a Chevrolet," Beavers said.
The sole no vote in the Senate was cast by Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga. The five senators abstaining were also Democrats.
The House Industrial Impact Subcommittee, which is scheduled to vote on the measure Wednesday, has 12 members - six Democrats and six Republicans.
Bell said that, so far, he has not heard from anyone opposed to the bill, but "you never know what can happen" when the time for a vote comes.
May God give us the wisdom to all of these United States to pass similar legislation.

Hi, Flames fan here watching tonight's game on Altitude. I can't believe how much crap Altitude puts on their beautiful 1080i broadcast screen that ISN'T the game.
I'm seeing lots of ads covering the bottom of the screen, ads for Taco Bell, Wendy's, and the like, right on top of the play.
I'm also seeing other crawls being run at the bottom, crawls that make do not cover the action but have the effect of squashing the screen vertically, making the players look short and fat. Again, during play!
I have Center Ice and watch lots of different broadcasts around the league. Seriously, I can't believe how much junk Altitude puts on the Avs screen, obscuring the game.
Whoever runs Altitude hates you.

Spider-Man - PC - Review
When I was in elementary school (many, many years ago), there was a kid who spoke of his comic book collection. One Saturday he showed me. No, I wasn't allowed to touch it – he only touched each copy once, carefully read it and then placed it in a clear plastic sleeve, sealed it and stored it away with the rest. "They are going to be worth something some day," he proudly said. It seems his parents had gotten him a subscription to the original Spider-man comic books, and he had the first 200. But from that moment on, I was one of Spidey's fans.
Remember the old television theme song?
"Spider-man, Spider-man,
He can do anything a spider can..."
Activision (along with Neversoft, Treyarch and Gray Matter) have incorporated a slightly updated version of that theme into the introduction of Spider-man, billed as a super hero action-adventure game. The game is, essentially, a third-person RPG featuring plenty of bad guys to fight.
Players take on the persona of the web-slinger, zipping through the skyline of New York in pursuit of …
Let's backtrack a moment. Peter Parker (also known as Spider-man) is attending a press conference by Dr. Otto Octavius (you may know him better as Dr. Octopus), who is about to unveil an incredible breakthrough in technology, when suddenly who should appear at the conference but another Spider-man, who makes off with the machine. Obviously it was a bogus Spider-man, and Eddie Brock – Parker's journalistic rival – witnessed the theft. It is enough to awaken the symbiotic alien inside Brock who transforms the erstwhile reporter into Venom.
Cut to a laboratory where Octavius releases some sort of gas that shrouds the streets of New York, leaving the skyline the only place to operate. That's just fine with our superhero. The game actually opens with Spidey receiving a visit from Felicia Hardy in her slinky Black Cat costume. There is a bank robbery going down, hostages have been taken and it's up to Spider-man to save the day.
That's when the game takes off. Other superheroes (like DareDevil and The Torch) make appearances, all in the role of pushing Spidey along. Spider-man co-creator Stan Lee narrates the story with a cyber twinkle in his eye. This is supposed to be fun stuff and Lee gives it that feel.
The vocal characterizations are light and entertaining. Venom, who momentarily teams with Spider-man, goes into lap-dog mode when Spidey suggests visiting the Bugle to look up some files. Venom, jumping up and down, tongue wagging, wants to know if they can "surf the Net."
The audio track does have a few flaws, most notably some breakup as the game progresses.
The controls are rather complicated, but can be reconfigured to make it easier on game players. And the game has several modes of play, including a kids' mode, which keeps everything very simple.
Where this game scores is in the visual department. The animation is well done. The environmental graphics have a tendency to look similar, whether it's the tunnels under New York, the floors of the multi-story bank or the Bugle. There are obstacles to jump over, walls to climb and ceilings to cling to. Fortunately, if Spidey is on the ceiling, and in the right spots, the ceiling goes opaque. It certainly is a joy to crawl along the ceiling until you are directly over a pair of thugs, then drop down and clobber 'em using "fists of fury" and martial arts-style kicks.
This game could have used a 'look' command so the web-head could peer around poles. They can cause visual obstruction. Spider-man is also not set up for a player who only has a few minutes to spare. You have to complete levels to get to the save area. This can be time consuming. And the game segues between levels with cutscene after cutscene.
The game does have a few arcade-style elements – you can find power-ups and other goodies scattered throughout the game. Don't understand the purpose of collecting comic book covers, other than to add them to the gallery for later viewing, but they are there nonetheless.
The long and short of it is this: if you are a Spider-man fan, you will enjoy this program. If you aren't, you will probably enjoy the camp elements of the program, the tongue-in-cheek dialogue and the superhero animation and graphics.
Install: Easy
Spider-man only seeks a minimum of 200 megs of hard-drive space, and a maximum of 500 megs. It installs quickly.
Gameplay: 7
The control elements take some reconfiguring before they are comfortable, but an in-game, anytime save function would have been nice. The game is filled with numerous cutscenes that slow progress through the levels.
Graphics: 8
The animation is very good. The Web-crawler moves well going up walls and across ceilings. The character seems a little stiff and jerky when peering around, but the supporting cast is well rendered.
Sound: 6.5
There were some problems in the later portions of the game with audio breakup, but these were seldom. This program is scripted with a very tongue-in-cheek flair.
Difficulty: 7
This game features the standard three difficulty levels, plus a Kid mode, which will allow younger players to advance easily through the levels.
Concept: 7
Spidey has been available on other platforms, so the superhero thing with this particular character has been done.
Multiplayer: N/A
Overall: 7
If personal bias had been heeded, this score would have been higher. However, in looking at the game, there are some snags in the webbing that keep the score down. But to vent a little personal bias, this is a well-animated and entertaining game.

Yahoo's Adrian Wojanarowski updates us
No final decision, but "most hurdles have been cleared to offer a multi-year deal."
Says Bird and Vogel have met several times in recent weeks and targeted a handful of assistants. Names include a couple guys we've heard before, Terry Porter and JB Bickerstaff. No word on Hamblen. Looking for "vocal, hands on assistants." Bird wants strong willed guys to help Coach Frank keep the team in check.
Vogel also has support from a number of players
"I'll be happy if Frank gets picked,'' said center Roy Hibbert before playing in a charity softball game for the Indiana Children's Wish Fund. "I've been with him since I was a rookie, so I hope he gets it. I understand that Larry's taking his time now, but I'm pulling for him (Vogel).''
"I really feel strong about having Vogel around,'' Paul George said. "I love him as a coach, as a person. But I have no control over it. I have to just go with whatever Mr. Bird goes with.''
"I would like to see Frank get it,'' guard Lance Stephenson said. "He helped us out this year. He made us come in more as a group. I hope Larry Bird sees what happened and we can move forward.''
I think we can all rest easy now that Coach Frank's gotten the Lance seal of approval.

Gilbert Public Schools has confirmed to CBS 5 News that a behavior tech accused of abusing a student is back on the job after police and internal investigations cleared him of any wrong-doing.
The man had been on paid administrative after a student's grandmother filed a report with the Gilbert Police Department when the child came home with bruises on his body.
Gilbert police said the behavior tech's use of force while restraining the 10-year-old was justified because the child was out of control and a danger to himself and others.
Jane Hecker, director of special education for Gilbert Public Schools, sent CBS 5 News this statement:
"The internal investigation into the incident that occurred at Gilbert Junior High School in our STEPS program mirrored the investigation conducted by the police department. It was found that the staff followed district restraint policy in dealing with the student. The student was engaging in dangerous behavior and required the restraint to keep himself and others safe. The only recommendation was to continue de-escalation training with the staff."
Barbara Canzona said her grandson was sent home with bruises on his arm and back in early April.
"If I was to send a child to school like this, I would be sitting in the Fourth Avenue jail and CPS would be involved," she said. "You don't leave a child bruised like that. This is abuse. This is child abuse."
Canzona's grandson, of whom she has legal custody, was attending Gilbert Public Schools' STEPS program, a transitional school for children with learning disabilities and behavioral issues housed on the Gilbert Junior High School campus.
He said he was dragged out of class for not following directions and then assaulted in another room by a behavior tech he identified as "Mr. Josh."
"They got me by the arms and basically slammed me into the wall," explained the student who is 4' tall and weighs 70 pounds.
The child said the aide then threw him down onto a mat, squeezing his arm to the point it felt numb and left the man's handprint.
"This is unacceptable," Canzona said. "This was done by force. This was done out of anger. This person should not be working in an environment like this if they cannot control themselves."
She said the school didn't even bother to call her to tell her what happened. Or, if they did, they didn't leave a message.
"I expect them (students) to be in an environment, a safe environment, where there's no harm to them," Canzona said.
After calling the school's principal, Canzona filed a report with the Gilbert Police Department on Friday afternoon, and took her grandson to an emergency room for an evaluation.
"Am I out for revenge? No, I'm not," she explained. "What I'm out for is protection of other children, other children with these kinds of issues, in these types of schools."

Final Fantasy XIV - What server is everyone on?
Hi guys and gals!
So, the relaunch of FFXIV is drumming up some big numbers and aside from the server issues seems to be getting high praise the internet over (providing you ignore those hating for hating's sake).
I've been playing over the Early-Access period and loved every minute of it (when I've been able to log in)
I am curious as to what server everyone is currently playing on?
I'm on Phoenix [EU] and if anyone else is on there and wants to go murder some mobs or raid some dungeons/do some Duties my char is called Mintie Choq'tchip - An Archer and Conjurer aiming to become a Bard.

West Palm Christmas curfew for teens pleases parents
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - On patrol in downtown West Palm Beach, police officers made sure teens followed the city's Christmas curfew.
Waiters like Scott Quyle were relieved. "We come out with food and they're running through and not watching what they're doing and they're texting and running into you," said Quyle , who works at Italy.
Quyle says teenaged skateboarders and texters have knocked food out of his hands and even knocked people, over.
"They're kids being kids. But they have to watch out for people because people get hurt all the time around here."
It's why the City of West Palm Beach expanded their downtown curfew Wednesday to start at 9:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m.
Tweens or teens have to be with their parents.
Parents say it's a load off their minds, and they don't mind big brother watching.
"There is a lot of kids out there with no supervision, causing trouble, and sometimes getting their hands in things they shouldn't be," said Liliana Vanegas, of West Palm Beach.
Any teens caught out alone Wednesday had their parents called to come and get them.
"The kid is supposed to be hanging out with parents and not hanging out with friends," said Melissa Wellington, who was visiting from New Jersey.
West Palm police say it wasn't a specific incident that led them to crack down during holidays, just a need to improve the general feeling so business can thrive.
As Quyle got to work, he appreciated the curfew, and even cracked a joke.
"I wish they had a curfew for the parents tonight so I could stay home, but yeah, it makes things a lot easier!!" said Quyle.
West Palm Police didn't immediately have numbers for how many teens were caught out past curfew, but say they're expected Thursday.

The only sound that is supposed to come out of a dog's mouth is a bark but for this dog, it is a human voice.
YouTube is going crazy with the video of a dog which instead of barking, it screams and seems as though it is crying, like a human being.
In the video, the dog, which is called Cody continuously screams and sounds as though it is crying. In the minute or so video clip, the dog cries non-stop and it is totally disturbing.
The Gannett Maltese dog has made some wonder if it is a hoax but no one can really tell.

Another take on widgets, notifications, feeds and information
The other thread about how widgets are the future of iOS got me thinking. People want to be able to quickly get to relevant information. I would even go as far as saying that that's the whole point of having a phone and a big part of owning a tablet. A lot of people seem convinced that widgets are the way to make this information available.
Widgets sound pretty good in theory. Instead of an icon that takes you inside an app, you've got a small version of the app itself, removing the need to actually open the app. Put several of those on one screen, and you don't need to open and close multiple apps in order to see everything that's going on. Widgets save you all those little swipes and taps that add up and start to annoy you after some time.
But if widgets are so great, then why are they so annoying and make me feel hunting for information even more (i know, i know. Matter of preference. This post reflects my opinion only, and i'm aware of that)?
Android already has widgets (and Windows Phone has Livetiles), Android users swear they are awesome and they always come up as the one thing iOS users like most about Android. I used a Nexus 7 for a few weeks, and i used widgets a lot. Well, at least i thought so. In reality, i spend a lot of time tuning my homescreen, arranging widgets, never being satisfied. The things i actually used widgets for boil down to what the little badges iOS puts on apps do: See what's up, then opening the app to take action. 99% of the time i opened the app the widget was supposed to replace for most use cases. Also, all those widgets needed a lot of space, so i spread them out across the available homescreens. You know, because that's still faster than opening every single app. But all this swiping between homescreens was really annoying, especially when i was inside an app and wanted to take a look at something that wasn't on the center homescreen. Of course you could argue it's still better than the way iOS handles this, and you'd probably be right (although i never had an experience like this on my iPad mini). But i am not convinced this is how the future of iOS should look like. I think we need another solution.
Let me narrow it down even further. There are essentially two types if information you want to pick up on your device:
- Things the user should be notified about right away, without him having to hunt for information manually. These include EMail, instant messages, reminders, etc.
- Things the user needs to know on an on-demand basis. The user always manually looks for information of this type. It includes feeds from news sources / social networks, weather, calendar, stock, etc.
iOS already handles the first kind of information pretty good. If you wake your device, you see everything that's been going on while you were away. Then while using the device you get notifications. You always know about the things that are important, and i never found myself opening the EMail application or a similar app to see if i missed something. If you still forgot, because you have a weak memory, you can open the Notification Center with one swipe, system wide. I don't think there is much room for improvement here (well, notifications could be less obtrusive and it'd be great if you could take action on them without opening the app that send them, but you get the idea), so let's focus on the second kind of information.
What iOS is lacking is a way staying up to date with stuff you don't want to be notified about constantly. But you don't want to navigate around the OS searching for new things either. So what's the solution?
Back to widgets. Most people will say the solution is widgets, because widgets are what most companies use as their solution. People know them, they are an obvious choice. But do they actually solve the problem? In my opinion, no. You still end up navigating around the OS, hunting for information. It might be faster than opening multiple apps in some cases, but it's the same annoying process. Also it makes me feel even more overwhelmed by information than hiding it inside applications, but that might be just a personal preference.
Since i don't want to end my post saying everything is bad but others should come up with a solution, here is what i would like to see:
I want some kind of newsticker. Apps can send stuff to the ticker, which will organize everything by source or by time. Like an RSS reader, but available to all applications you want to be up to date with. You can open it just like the Notification Center with a swipe from one of the edges wherever you are, and it holds everything you might be navigation around the OS for otherwise. Of course i'd be essentially a second Notification Center for silent notifications, but that's ok. It'd help you organize your information by priority.
Oh, and personally i'd like a small strip of pixels the size of the statusbar dedicated to the newsticker, with floating preview text whenever something is added to the ticker. You know, like they have on news channels on the TV.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Truly, Madly, Deeply Rectangle Invitations Loved the product when I received it. Website made it easy to personalize and customer service was great. Also good quality paper. Invitations looked exactly like they did on the website!
Provided Extras
live.laugh.love Foldover Pockets Everything worked out really well with our invitations. They sent more than the number of invites we requested. :)
Mustache You to Wed Foldover Pockets I love my invitations! I got my save the dates through Magnet Street and I was able to use my saved colors and keep the same theme for my invitations!
Clean design
live.laugh.love Rectangle Invitations The card was beautiful and I loved the design so much that I didn't mind the personalization limitations. I wanted to try to make the card more "formal" by listing my mother's name at the top as the hostess of my wedding, however this wasn't possible. The fields with the names are customizable as far as how large the names are, but no other information can be entered in these spaces. Again, because this was my favorite card by design, I still ordered it and the quality and print was excellent. I highly recommend this invitation!
Modern Elegance
Bold Statement Foldover Pockets I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Pastor MacDonald stopped mid-flow. Sister Ogilvies body swivelled around instinctively, her head following. Sister Davies, who always kept an eye on Sister Ogilvie, copied her and then nudged Mother MacDonald. The rest of the congregation waited for the split second that the door banged against the wall then, as one, turned to see who had entered.
It was Sovereign.
He didnt mean to open the door so rough but it had swung back the whole way. Hed practically run in, his breath heavy, his forehead itching with sweat and his hands shaking. His entrance must have been loud because a whole sea of eyes turned to greet him. He almost backtracked. Maybe he should have gone into the Methodist church opposite.
There was a host of women in shoulder pads, men in dark suits, walls covered with blue curtain. Hed seen it all before hed been dragged into holes like this as a child by his grandma but this time was different. He was a big boy now.
He realised his head hurt.
A woman with a doily on her head pointed to a spare seat near the back, up on the raised bit. She walked him towards it. She had a badge that said Usher, which hed always thought was a guys name. He clocked a pair of eyes staring back at him. Marsha, from school. She turned away in what looked like wide-eyed horror and folded into the chair. He left Usher pointing, went to the other side and sat down at the end of a row just in front. The pinstripe-suit guy sitting beside him almost seemed not to have noticed he was there. Hed picked up the large Bible on the seat next to him and put it on the floor, allowing Sovereign to sit down, and that was that. Didnt even look at him.
The preacher seemed to be waiting. Hed removed his big round glasses carefully to wipe the sweat from his shiny head, which reflected the bright light from above. He replaced the glasses, putting them as far down the end of his nose as he could, and the sweat poured down to his beard, yea, even Aarons beard: that went down to the skirt of his garments. Resting his left arm on the pulpit and leaning over, leaning right up close to the microphone, his slightly crossed eyes rested on his audience and then he began to speak.
I have,¸ he started, in a low echoing voice, a revelation right now-ah.¸ He paused again and there were a few mumbles in the background: Speak, Laawd. Yes!¸
Dis is-ah,¸ he continued, the time-ah to repent-ah. Dis may be your last opportunity right now-ah.¸
The eyes that had stared at Sovereign began darting about. Several old women, in assorted large hats that swallowed their faces, looked round and stared past him to his left, where Marsha and her friends were. The lethal, half-squint accusations coming from those watery, yellow eyes were enough to freak anyone. He tutted and smiled to himself. Looks like everyone knew what she was like.

The internet is such a odd place full of odd things. Like the attic space of your eccentric neighbor who not only keeps their Christmas lights up year round but keeps burning them and sometimes there's funny colored smoke coming from his chimney and all his clothes appear to be from the Civil War era and you aren't quite sure if he's a re-enactor or quirky but he enjoys bonfires in the summer and always remembers to invite you so he can't be all bad. But I digress.
I'm an absentee voter so I've never had the luxury of getting an "I voted" sticker. Thankfully, the internet will supply.
If the election day coverage has you feeling stressed, have a calming manatee.

Bucky's 5th Quarter is almost a year and a half old and it's time to expand. Jake Harris and I have been trying to hold down the fort for quite some time, but honestly, it's just not possible to churn out content on a daily basis when this isn't our day job.
We are specifically looking for two contributors. One to take on (what should be) our daily "Badger Bits" posts and the other to cover UW hockey this season. Also, if you feel like you have a good handle on football recruiting, let us know because we might look to expand there as well.
Please keep in mind that we won't just take anyone on board. We prefer candidates with previous writing experience. Read the descriptions below. If you feel like you would be a good match for B5Q, e-mail me at aahoge (at) gmail (dot) com.
Badger Bits Contributor
B5Q is looking for a contributor to post Badger Bits Monday-Friday. We need someone who loves to search the internet every morning for the latest Badgers and Big Ten news. You will be posting links to the latest stories and columns on the Badgers, but you will also be providing your own thoughts on the stories you are linking to. We want these to have comedic value and include videos, tweets, audio, e.t.c. that you wouldn't find in a newspaper.
Hockey Contributor
We used to have a great hockey guy, but then he went out and got a real job. What a jerk. Anyway, if Wisconsin is going to continue to churn out a good hockey team then we are going to have write about pucks. If you are a crazy Badger hockey fan then we want you. Special preference given to applicants related to Phil.
If you are interested, please e-mail me. But also, please take this opportunity to post comments here on what you would like to see more of on Bucky's 5th Quarter. We would love to hear your ideas.

Health Protection for Individual Insurance
Locate a Local Finance Lawyer
What Is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) was enacted to reform healthcare in America. The HIPAA legislation had several objectives:
- Protect health insurance coverage for working Americans who have pre-existing medical conditions when they change or lose their jobs
- Reduce healthcare fraud and abuse
- Enforce standards for health information
- Guarantee security and privacy of health information
Does HIPAA Protect American Workers Who Need Individual Insurance?
HIPAA offers the most protection to new employees who want to enroll in an employer's group health plan. For more information, see HIPAA Protection When Changing Jobs.
However, HIPAA offers limited protection to individuals who have no choice but to switch from a group health plan to individual insurance. This may occur when your employer discontinues health insurance benefits, when you lose your job, or if you decide to become self-employed. Under HIPAA, you are guaranteed the right to purchase individual insurance coverage without the threat of exclusion for pre-existing medical conditions if:
- You have had at least 18 months of continuous coverage without any significant breaks (significant break is being without insurance for more than 63 days)
- Your most recent insurance was under a group health plan, governmental plan, or church plan
- You are not eligible for coverage under another group plan
- You are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid
- You purchased and used up all the COBRA, Temporary Continuation of Coverage, or State Continuation Coverage that was available to you
- Your coverage was not terminated due to non-payment or insurance fraud
What Can I Do to Ensure that My Rights Are Protected under HIPAA?
Whenever you leave any health plan, make sure that you get a "certificate of creditable coverage" in writing. Your certificate should include:
- Your coverage dates
- Your policy ID number
- The insurer's name and address
- Any family members included under your coverage
Do I Need a Lawyer to Help Me with My HIPAA Problem?
Interpreting the HIPAA laws can be complicated. An experienced health insurance attorney can help you understand your rights under the HIPAA laws. If you believe your health insurance company is acting in bad faith and improperly denying you coverage, an attorney will know all the ins-and-outs of taking on a big health insurance company.

Yeah well since no one has done one today. here it is.. add at your own will.
Blazers had a huge streak of luck with a win by Portland and a loss by nearly every other team in the playoff race. Except San Antonio.
I watched Rambo First Blood today. Oregon Sheriffs are jerks, hassling Vets like that.
Michigan State and North Carolina are in the title game (NC likely). Has anyone else noticed this has been the most boring freaking tournament ever? Part of that is also because CBS sucks. Show us the 5-12, 7-10, 8-9 games. We dont want to flippin watch 1-16... even 2-15.. cut to it if its close, but cmon... CBS pretty much sucks royally at all sports. they have crappy HD for football too.
well that is my junk for the day.

What should the next Bowen Designs Collector's Club freebie be?
A shirt would really be the only one I'd want
Shirt or hat for me.
How many members are there? How about a cool sketch or something made by RB? Some sort of collage of heroes or something?
t-shirt I guess...
i'll go for coffee mug.
I didn't think of this but someone over on SF suggested a small Bowen Logo sculpture to display with their collection.
Coffe mug, so I can put my blueberry foo-foo coffee in it in the AM
Firelord statue. I'll pay for it.
I'd like the t-shirt. It could help advertise the company. Just make sure you have a few XL on hand. LOL off to the gym.

Southampton's Gary Hunt finishes second in first round of Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series
Updated 8:55am Monday 27th May 2013 in Sport
GARY Hunt admitted "the best man won on the day" after finishing second in the opening round of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2013 in La Rochelle, France.
The Southampton star, who is bidding for his fourth successive title, was bettered by Russia's Artem Silchenko who totalled 487.05 points, Hunt finishing on the second step of the podium with 469.30.
Blake Aldridge, who used to train at the Quays Swimming and Diving Complex in Southampton, finished third (448.20).
Hunt, 28, said: "I made no major mistakes but threw up a bit of splash on my first and second dives.
"It's a world of difference between the start I had last year and here I just felt much more comfortable – not too scared, just the right amount of scared! – but got pipped by Artem who dived incredibly and the win went to the best man on the day."
More than 70,000 spectators watched the event the second stop of which takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark in four weeks' time.

Staff writer
---- — PEABODY — This city just got more annoyed at Verizon.
Peabody is already frustrated that the communications company has declined to wire the city for FiOS, its bundled system providing high-tech TV, telephone and Internet access. Officials feel FiOS would provide more competition for Comcast, giving consumers more leverage.
But Verizon has halted all FiOS expansion.
Now, after a visit to the City Council by some Verizon workers, Peabody officials are in various stages of outrage over the company's plan to move its repair centers from Springfield and Andover to Rhode Island.
"Why are they doing this?" asked Jeff Crosby of the North Shore Labor Council and a former Peabody resident. "Their expectation is that many people will quit. ... This is just cruel."
At risk, according to Crosby and Ed Starr, a Verizon employee and representative of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, are up to 140 salaried jobs held by employees who may not be able to make the up to 150-mile commute to Rhode Island.
The workers recently settled on a new contract with Verizon.
Five Peabody residents currently employed by Verizon would be affected by the move, according to Starr.
In a written statement, Verizon spokesperson Phil Santoro says a "relatively small number of jobs in the region will be moved from one New England facility to another New England facility. There are no layoffs or job cuts associated with this plan."
He mentions an intention to "centralize" the business and points to $.5 billion for "Centers of Excellence" in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. "'Centers of Excellence' will enable us to continue to serve our wireline customers, while remaining competitive and retaining as many jobs as possible throughout the region," according to Santoro's statement.
In order to fight any move, union workers at Verizon have been enlisting the support of local and state politicians. They arrived at the most recent meeting of the City Council with letters and petitions from people like Gov. Deval Patrick and much of the state's congressional delegation.
The council was only too eager to add their voices to the cause.
"It's despicable," said Councilor Anne Manning Martin after hearing the workers' version of Verizon's tactics. "Absolutely despicable."
Added colleague Barry Osborne, "It's very easy for a councilor to do the right thing and that is to support their petition."
"It saddens me," Councilor Dave Gamache told the visitors, "to see you fight for these things and all of sudden the carpet has been pulled out from under you."
"We're not doing our job," said member Arthur Athas, "if we don't advocate for workers to remain in Massachusetts."
Councilor Barry Sinewitz, who arranged the workers' appearance before the council, noted that Mayor Ted Bettencourt is also supporting their cause.
For his part, Osborne later conceded that the Peabody City Council is unlikely to have much clout with Verizon. But he also pointed to the many officials who are now on record in favor of retaining these jobs in Massachusetts.
"It's important to send a message," he said, adding that he hopes Peabody becomes part of a growing snowball rolling right toward Verizon.
Verizon officials could not be reached for comment.

Malaysia's ruling party, at its national conference, continued to attack the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, much to the anger of human rights activists in the country. The Umno, in ending its final assembly gathering ahead of elections that must take place before April next year, said that anti-Islamic elements threaten the country, singling out homosexuality and those who promote liberalism in "mainly Muslim Malaysia."
"This LGBT is haram in Islam. (But the opposition) is making LGBT halal … they even said that the law on sodomy is obsolete," said Pendang delegate Mohd Kamal Saidin, who accused Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as the man responsible for the promotion of "vice."
The ruling coalition and the opposition have been at loggerheads on the issues of LGBT, pluralism and liberalism, which are deemed sensitive in Muslim-majority Malaysia. Read the full story.

Info-Tech - Financial Performance
A good show by software cos
Our Bureau
Chennai , Jan. 24
FRONTLINE software companies logged another quarter of strong growth on the revenue and earnings front for the period ended December 31, 2005. This was quite encouraging, as the third quarter typically has fewer working days owing to the holiday season in the US.
While the performance of Infosys Technologies and Tata Consultancy Services were in line with market expectations, Wipro and Satyam Computers exceeded them comfortably (See Table).
Financials: For the second successive quarter, the software majors clocked double digit sequential (quarter-on-quarter) growth in revenues. The growth picture on the earnings front, however, was mixed.
Wipro Technologies, the Global IT Services and Products arm of the diversified Wipro surprised the markets with a 12 per cent rise in revenues and 13.8 per cent jump in profit before interest and tax (PBIT). Even as Wipro's IT services PBIT margin remained stable, the BPO margins marched up by 3.5 percentage points on a sequential basis.
Satyam continued its good performance run, with an operating profit growth of 13.8 per cent on a revenue growth of 9.5 per cent on a sequential basis. This helped its PBIT margin expand by a percentage point to 24.9 per cent.
It also proved to be an unusually active quarter on the deal making and acquisition front. TCS acquired Australia based FNS to enhance its banking products portfolio and Comicrom in Chile to expand its foothold in the BPO segment. Wipro also snapped up two companies - Austria based NewLogic and mPower, US towards the fag end of the third quarter.
An extremely volatile rupee turned out to be the other key highlight of the quarter, forcing companies to re-examine their hedging strategies.
Operating metrics: Unlike the second quarter, in the latest quarter, the top client and top five clients powered the revenue growth of the software majors. The increase in client pipeline in different revenue buckets ranging from $1 million to $10 million continued to be strong.
The client additions also remained healthy and in line with the second quarter. The trend of employee additions presents a mixed picture, with TCS and Wipro making much stronger addition compared to its peers.

Survey: Financial Honesty Hard to Come By in American Couples
A new national survey finds discrepancies in financial candor and spending habits among Americans aged 25-55 in committed relationships. Of these Americans, four in ten (40 percent) agree that honesty about finances is more important than honesty about fidelity (compared to 2005 in which 24 percent agreed with this sentiment), yet nearly three in ten (29 percent) admit that they have withheld information from their spouse or partner regarding their spending on discretionary items, such as apparel, accessories, electronics and entertainment.
The survey also shows that nearly all Americans in committed relationships (91 percent) agree that it is important to discuss their partner's financial history before marriage, yet more than one quarter (26 percent) admit they tend to avoid talking about finances.

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) continues to support utility-scale solar power projects announcing that it has granted a conditional loan guarantee of US$90.6 million to independent power producer Cogentrix Energy LLC.
The funding will be used to build a 30 MW High Concentration SolarPhotovoltaic (HCPV) generation project located just outside Alamosa,Colorado.
According to Cogentrix, the solar project will employ amulti-junction solar cell technology that is 40% more efficient thantraditional photovoltaic panels.
When construction is complete the Alamosa Solar Generating Projectwill be the largest of its kind in world, generating enough electricityto power 6,500 homes. In August 2010 Cogentrix announced that it entered into a long term power purchase agreement with Xcel Energy Inc (NYSE: XEL) subsidiary Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) the electricity generated by the solar farm.
With the addition of the Alamosa Solar Generating Project to itsfunding list, the DOE has now awarded over US$7.5 billion in loanguarantees for solar power projects in the U.S.
"Colorado has long been a leader in the development and deployment of renewable energy, and this project builds on that record," said EnergySecretary Steven Chu.
He continued, "By deploying an innovative, commercially-readytechnology at utility scale, the Alamosa Solar Generating Project isincreasing the generation of clean, renewable power, creating jobs andstrengthening the U.S. economy."

It's estimated that one in every four human trafficking victims in the U.S. will travel through Houston at some point.
In our continuing efforts to bring awareness to "human trafficking" in our city...we're talking about specific signs you at home can look for.
If you look closely and know what to look for, what specific clues, you will be able to see where and how trafficking is occurring in your community....you may even be able to help that victim by asking the right questions.
Nobody knows human trafficking better....than Chong Kim.
"I met a guy who posed as a boyfriend and told me he wanted to take me to a different state and that's how I was trafficked," said victim Chong Kim.
Blinded by what she thought was real love, she left college where she was pursuing a degree in law enforcement and went with him....little did she know...she would be trafficked for the next 3 years.
"I was held as a prisoner in an abandoned home and then transported to a distribution warehouse in Nevada and from there the traffickers would control me and other girls, 25-50 in each unit, transported through warehouse trucks," said Chong.
In order to escape the system....she had to "rank up" and become a madam....she gained her traffickers trust and while out on an errand by herself....she started running....and never stopped.
Help though....is something she didn't find for quite some time.
"I was that girl, when nobody was listening to, saying help me, this isn't a choice, and because I was in stiletto heels and lingerie people thought I was a prostitute, and I said oh no, and I cried," said Chong.
Chong is now 37 years old and dedicated to helping other victims....but she says the only way to fight trafficking is through awareness and realizing it's happening right here in Houston, possibly in your own backyard.
"I think people need to know it's not just an urban, inner city, projects problem, it's everywhere, but if we're not paying attention to the signs we could walk past a business that's doing trafficking," said Chong.
We turned to Julie Waters, Director of Free the Captives, for specific clues you can look for:
"The girls that are constantly running away from home or who are homeless or throwaways. Does the girl have a tattoo and is reluctant to talk about this tattoo? Does this child or this girl have unexplained new clothes, hair being done or fingernails, bruises or cuts, things she can't explain or tell you about?" said Julie.
Julie also mentions an older boyfriend is a big clue and evidence of being controlled.
Asking the right questions will also help you figure out if the person in front of you is a trafficking victim who needs your help.
Try asking:
What type of work do you do and are you being paid?
Can you leave if you want?
What are your working and living conditions like?
Do you have to ask permission to eat, sleep and use the bathroom?
And has your id and documentation been taken away from you.
If you think you have encountered a victim of trafficking call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1.888.3737.888.

Dorms and apartment complexes may have seemed abandoned in Carbondale this weekend as students flocked home for Easter and Passover celebrations.
Family traditions often lure students home for holidays, but for those who could not make the trip, alternate
celebration opportunities could be found in Carbondale.
Some students who wanted to observe Easter or Passover near campus celebrated at the Newman Catholic Student Center, the Hillel Foundation or many area churches and synagogues.
Amanda Warner, a graduate student in plant, soil and agricultural systems from Walterboro, S.C., said not being able to participate in her family's traditions was a downside of staying in town.
She said this year, her parents came to visit and celebrate the holiday with her by spending time together for the first time since
Warner said saving money and vacation days from work were the biggest influences on her decision to stay in Carbondale.
"It's not like I'm making tons of money as a graduate assistant to go home for every holiday," she said. "I can save money more effectively by picking and choosing when I travel home."
Christoph Karottki, a senior from Oak Park studying mechanical engineering, observed Easter by attending the Newman Catholic Student Center's morning Mass.
Karottki said the quiet weekend was great for staying on top of academics, especially as the semester comes to a close, and for picking up extra shifts at work.
The lack of students could also be seen on the Strip. Many late night eateries were shorter staffed and several bars retracted their usual weekend cover charge.
One benefit of staying in Carbondale, even though there wasn't anything special going on, was that it was much less crowded, said Nico Luttrell, a junior from Italy studying political science.
Luttrell is one of many students who didn't travel home because of the distance to Cuba, where his parents now live.
"I didn't want to make the 'drive' to Cuba where my family is," he said. "Even though I'm not very religious, I would generally celebrate with my mom if she had Easter plans."
For some students who didn't battle distance and costs, the choice to stay in town was influenced by camaraderie.
Greg Alper, a senior from St. Louis studying industrial design, said he celebrated Passover with the local community at the Hillel Foundation.
Alper said he chose to stay to focus on schoolwork and because it was his last Passover in Carbondale.
He said the first two nights of the celebration are usually dedicated to family and friends, so the Hillel Foundation appreciates the opportunity to share the experience with the student body and the local community.
"It's always good to be with family for holidays," Alper said. "But an important part of Passover, or any holiday, is just being able to share it with everyone. Being able to bring people from different families and backgrounds together to be a part of celebration is
a good thing."

We're consciously upbeat on the Sideburn blog, there's enough bad news everywhere else for us to be peddling it too, but I couldn't not post the terrible news that Frank Boast, Pete's dad, was killed when a car knocked him off his Ducati earlier this week. Franco (as I was told to call him) was a lovely fella. I saw him countless times at the short track races, where he'd be helping Pete and Jackie with the bikes and making the meeting happen. I also saw Franco virtually every time I went to Cadwell, as he'd there watching the racing or helping mates.
It was always great to see a dad and lad still doing so much together. He really was a bloke who'll be missed by everyone who met him.
A service will take place at Washingborough Crematorium, Lincoln on Thursday 30th Sept., at 11.10am and all are welcome. GI

Representatives from the Ku Klux Klan showed their disappointment in the Memphis City Council of their recent decision to rename three parks with references to the Civil War.
Over the weekend each member of council received a two-paragraph letter from the KKK stating their displeasure in council to drop some Civil War references from three Memphis parks.
MORE: Memphis council renames Confederate parks
MORE: KKK recruiting flyers litter Memphis yards
The letter was signed by the Imperial Kaltrop of the King Kleagle K-Duo Realm of Arkansas Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. While the two-paragraph letter made no direct threats of violence, it did have an aggressive tone saying that the council was only bowing to the will of local activist Kenneth Van Buren, even quoting President Abraham Lincoln from 1858.
By the end of the letter, it was made clear that this is not an issue the KKK is going to let lie.
It said in part, "Our history is what it is, and trying to rewrite it will not change the past. Remember you drew the line in the sand and this is but the beginning of the battle you have chosen."
FOX13 News spoke with the Grand Cyclops of the local chapter of KKK on Monday and he said that while he didn't take part in the letter writing campaign, he is aware of the letter and supports its intent.

Our new findings on air travelers' views on the much-discussed screening procedures now in broader use in U.S. airports are the perfect example of why it's so critical to seek out empirical evidence on the issues of the moment.
While news about air travelers opposing and potentially boycotting the use of full-body scans and pat downs suggests there is widespread anger about the use of these procedures, our survey of 3,018 people -- including 757 people who have flown at least twice in the past year -- tell a different story.
Fewer than one in three frequent air travelers tell us they are angry about the prospect or reality of being asked to follow these procedures. About one in four are bothered but not angry -- and a plurality are not bothered at all.
What's more, those who've already undergone these screenings are even less likely to be bothered than those who have not. Overall, most travelers say any loss of personal privacy is worth it to prevent acts of terrorism and the vast majority remain as likely to fly as they otherwise would be.
This is not to discount the minorities who are in fact angry or bothered by the use of these tactics, or less likely to fly as a result, but the data underscore the inherent risk in portraying the voices of relatively few as the voices of the many. Journalists are encouraged to tell both sides of every story, but only with nationally representative empirical evidence can we tell how many people each side represents.
In this case, it's clear that, while most of us will agree it is not an ideal situation, at the same time it is not all that upsetting to those most likely to encounter it.
To make sure you always have an empirical view on the issues of the moment, sign up to receive "All Gallup Headlines" via e-mail alerts or RSS feeds.
Travelers Debunk Narrative on Airport Security

I welcome this level-headed response to the latest media headlines. But as someone who feels that the TSA has crossed a line with their newly "enhanced" procedures, I feel I must comment as a minority voice. Because I fear that this time next year, there's going to be a similar poll to gauge how the public feels about random strip and cavity searches, and 2/3 of us will just fine with this "as long as it increases safety." This scenario is not so far-fetched, unfortunately.
Over the last decade, we've gradually grown accustomed to the inconveniences associated with airport security procedures. The problem is that the TSA seems always to be reacting to the last terrorist "innovation", like hiding explosives in shoes, so they adapt to take that one scenario into account. But there's a glaringly obvious problem: The terrorists will always find a new way to outsmart the system. And in each of the precedent-setting terrorist attempts, it was NOT the TSA, but rather other passengers or government intelligence that foiled the plots.
So now that there are going to be full body scans and/or pat-downs that can detect almost any hidden article ON a person's body. But not IN a person's body. It doesn't take a devious mind to come up with an obvious work-around.
Hopefully this scenario will never play out; but, if it does, then the TSA will be forced to somehow deal with this new paradigm. Perhaps full body X-rays that can image internal organs? Or more likely, a very, very intimate and uncomfortable encounter with a rubber-gloved agent. I for one don't relish the idea of myself or my family being treated like prisoners whenever we travel. Do you?

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The shorthanded Chicago Bulls avoided elimination on Tuesday, riding a strong defensive effort to a 77-69 win over the 76ers in Game 5 of their first-round series.
The Bulls, playing without star point guard Derrick Rose and starting center Joakim Noah, limited Philadelphia to just 32.1 percent shooting. Luol Deng made four three-pointers and led Chicago with 24 points while Carlos Boozer added 19 points and 13 rebounds.
The 76ers had won three straight in the series since a Game 1 loss, which saw Rose go down for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. They still lead the series 3-2 and can become just the fifth No. 8 seed in NBA history to knock off a No. 1 seed with a win in Game 6 on Thursday in Philadelphia.
The Bulls, meanwhile, will be looking for force a Game 7 back home.
"We need everybody," said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. "You never know where it's going to come from. ... We have to concentrate on what's next and be ready to go."
Jrue Holiday scored a team-high 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting in the loss.
Deng hit three of his treys in the fourth quarter and his jumper from beyond the arc as the shot clock expired had the Bulls up 67-52 with just over seven minutes left in the game. It marked Chicago's largest lead of the night, but the 76ers responded with a flurry.
Philadelphia, which overcame double-digit deficits on Games 3 and 4, scored six straight, getting a 3 from Holiday before Andre Iguodala forced a turnover and found Spencer Hawes with a behind the back pass in transition. Hawes finished with a layup, drew the foul and hit the free throw.
Ronnie Brewer missed a jumper on the Bulls' next possession, but Iguodala clanged a 22-footer off the rim early in the shot clock and the Bulls took advantage.
Taj Gibson, back in the game after spraining his ankle late in the third quarter, scored four straight points, hitting a jumper and then a pair of free throws, to re-establish the double-digit margin.
The 76ers didn't cut their deficit to single digits until less than a minute remained and by then Chicago had sealed the Game 5 win.
The second quarter proved particularly challenging for the 76ers. They trailed 17-16 after one, but managed just 10 points in the second on 4-of-23 shooting. The Bulls held a 35-26 lead at the half and never trailed in the third quarter.
"The second quarter was a disaster for us offensively," remarked Philadelphia coach Doug Collins.

After reading and agreeing with the fanshot posted by tomcs... I felt a need to do the same. It really helped me to accept that this team has many holes still, and has a long way to go. It has also shown me that my suspicions were valid; as fun as winning early was, it was likely just a product of the lockout. We were fortunate enough to begin the season with the same system, some key pieces, and a will to get out there and prove ourselves. Now, we have some key players injured, some feeling lost, or feeling defeated, and the people they look to for answers, don't seem to have any. What was a great and optimistic start to the season, is much more of a reality check at this point. By no means has this team "arrived" as a true playoff contender; rather we have arrived in the form that we expected earlier in the season, and were duped into thinking was a team that would break our long playoff drought, as well as a team that we thought could continue to be effective throughout a whole NFL season. Neither of these things are true, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to find positive about our strides. After some of the comments in the post-Miami massacre thread imply... some of you have already written EVERY FACET of this organization off. Not only is this folly, it is somewhat ignorant and pathetic. I would expect more from my fellow Rumblers. Sure, our team is playing like garbage right now. But not in comparison to the 0-8 start of last season. This is YEAR 2 of our rebuild, (even though many of you would lump the failures of former staffs into the current, which I find unfair) and it isn't even completed. Hopefully those of you throwing your hands up in despair and hurling your random insults and negative perspectives can be a little more supportive of the positives moving forward. I too have been guilty of bashing some of our players, some of our current and former coaches, and the organization on the whole. We are all likely guilty of this to some degree. That is part of being passionate fans, that truly invest in our team, because they are WORTHY of that investment. These guys work hard, they play hard, and they most certainly aren't simply quitters. After the jump, you can see my take on the current state of our roster, and maybe find that there are some silver linings, and some obvious pit-falls. However, I feel it is just ignorant, and remiss to simply write this entire team and regime off at this point. Only fair weather fans would do that, and Rumblers don't qualify as fair weather fans; of this, I am most certain.
This is how I see our roster, and how it shakes out comparative to next year. Some of you may have read this on tomcs' post. feel free to offer comments still.
LT: set. Hairston starts, bell is a backup.
LG: set. Levitre starts, Rinehart is a backup
C: Wood starts, we have no depth. Should Urbik prove effective… Set.
RG: Urbik. We have Rinehart for depth, but as already illustrated, 1 guy doesn't make an entire line. See: Levitre.
RT: Pears has been a pleasant surprise. Though I don't agree Young will develop into either a starter, or a late round pick (?) but i believe we can select OTs next year at nearly any point of the draft, and we will have not only upgraded, but we will have added depth.
RB: set. FredEx delivers, even on sundays. Give him his touches, Gailey you fool. Spiller will be fine, if nothing else, think of him as a luxury pick, in a year we could have used a number of things: including every single position on the roster.
QB: Fitz is our starter. We won't get another guy for at least 2 years, as Chan (mistakenly) thinks he has 3 QBs. This is the type of need I can only hope Nix recognizes should be addressed, sooner than later. Ask Aaron Rodgers whether or not it helped him to sit for 4 years before he had to be the guy. He already said it did.
WR: We might only have a single possession receiver that can be considered a starter, in Steve Johnson. He hasn't necessarily proven to be a true #1 receiver at any point in this season. I believe that with the attention the defense has gotten the last two years, we may use our #1 on an offensive weapon again, much to the chagrin of many Rumblers. Nelson and Roosevelt, and perhaps even Easley and Aiken have all demonstrated potential. I have not wrote any of them off yet. Sorry Donald, but if you are done for the year (as I suspect you are) then you have a tough camp to make a spot next year. Best of luck.
NT: set. Kyle Williams and Troup is what we have had 2 seasons… dareus has proven capable.
LE: Dareus. Spencer Johnson to backup… non issue.
RE: Dwan Edwards… probably gone. Carrington will start… we need at least 1 more RE.
LOLB: Kelsay starts (face it, he has been much better this year, and since we have no other LOLB, he is the guy) and Moats backs up even though he is a MLB at best in a 3-4 system, due to size.
MLB: Barnett and shepp start. Andra becomes LB coach. Wannstedt promoted to DC. Edwards gone. Moats/Chris White (hopefully) continue to develop and with Morrison, this is our deepest position with some solid and proven talent. add batten to this list, as he isn't an edge rusher by any means or definition.
ROLB: Draft one early. we have NO edge rusher. Move Batten inside as mentioned above. he isn't a rusher like we need. Merriman will be hard pressed to make the roster, even with NIx's ties. If he can't stay healthy, he isn't an asset.
CB: We have 1 man corner. Aaron Williams. We have a dime in McKelvin, we have a POTENTIAL starter in Rogers maybe. McGee/Flo can split time in the slot for all i care (McGee when he is healthy, and Flo as depth… though he is little more than a penalty machine to me at this point) but i think we draft 1 or 2 more corners/DBs next year, as we have each year.
FS: Jairus is the man. he will start. he has NO backup. This is an issue that needs addressing.
SS: George Wilson will start. Searcy will back him up. I have no issue with this. Bryan Scott continues to be used in a hybrid role, though, he may be listed as a LOLB, as we have more room here, affording the addition of another FS/SS as we like to use our guys as both (george plays some free, byrd plays some strong, Searcy is basically a backup to both)
K: Rayner is worth keeping. Lindell may be on his way out.
P: Brian Moorman better retire a Buffalo Bills Pro Bowler… at the age of 47. haahaha. seriously though… non issue here. let him stay til he is done, and find a replacement. it doesn't matter who.. they won't measure up.
