Euro Zone: Going Nowhere Fast
|George Osborne: gloomy
Yes, rock-bottom interest rates, combined with quantitative easing, has generated copious amounts of cheap money. But it has not done what was intended, which was to reawaken the animal spirit in capital and hence encourage investment - that in turn would power economic growth. Rather, delighted speculators have had casino chips stuffed into their hands. Or, in the words of the IMF's financial counsellor, José Viñals, we are facing a "global imbalance" - with "not enough economic risk-taking in support of growth", but instead "increasing excesses in financial risk-taking" that are "posing stability challenges".

|Nick Griffin on Question time
In other words, there is nothing "different" about the SWP's response to Ukip - it is the same old approach of tailing the liberalistic, anti-racist/anti-fascist consensus, only this time the word 'Nazi' has been scratched out and replaced with 'Ukip'. The comrades do not even consider challenging the national chauvinism which Ukip shares with the mainstream parties, a key component of which is bourgeois or institutional anti-racism and myths about the 'anti-fascist' crusade fought by British imperialism during World War II.

Farage parks his tanks
|Nigel Farage: balance of power?
Leaving aside the SWP's cynical attempt to earn brownie points from the establishment, Farage genuinely wants previous immigrants - whatever their ethnicity - and their descendants to integrate into official British society: enthusiastically waving the flag, fighting to preserve the union and loving the queen. In reality, to one degree or another all the mainstream parties appeal and pander to British nationalism.

Cameron's Can of Worms
|No return to the status quo
Referenda are clearly not a properly democratic way of proceeding and foster the sometimes dangerous illusion that people do actually have direct power - which can easily turn to disenchantment when cold reality sets in. Near perfect conditions for all manner of reactionary ideas to flourish - especially nationalism, of course, as we are seeing right now. As internationalists and consistent democrats, we were correct to call for a boycott of the referendum and a pox on both houses.

Catalonia: backward project of nationalism
|Result would be a cert
EXTRACT: What is the communist response? We fight for the maximum level of working class unity that is objectively possible - which of necessity requires extreme or consistent democracy. Therefore in Catalonia, for example, we call for the abolition of the undemocratic basic law which denies the right of Catalonia and other peoples, such as the Basques, to self-determination. As a matter of principle and elementary democracy, they ought to have the right to freely decide their own future. The unacceptable status quo must be ended, just as in Scotland.
But that does not mean for a minute that communists are indifferent as to how that right is exercised or its potential consequences. We do not want to see a fracturing of the Spanish working class or a Balkanisation of the country - that would be a disaster. Therefore we reject the nationalist demand for separation. Catalonian nationalism, just like Scottish nationalism, is a fundamentally backward project - driven by the politics of resentment and petty grievances, real and imagined. We want to positively deal with problems where they exist, which by definition requires the transcending of national resentments and antagonisms - by ending all arrangements based on involuntary 'unity' and instead move towards genuine voluntary unity as part of the revolutionary struggle for socialism.

Debating out Differences
|Camilla Power: communism is our nature
Slightly more controversially and revealing his "pathological anti-Stalinism" - as he cheerfully put it - comrade Ticktin dismissed Stalin almost from the day he was born as a "criminal" and "incompetent" who never amounted to anything, and reiterated the idea that Trotsky should have seized power and become a "revolutionary Napoleon". Some comrades were not convinced, emphasising the objective factors facing a desperately backward country like the Soviet Union - a better explanation than Stalin's original sin. Comrade John Bridge spoke of how Stalin to a very large degree was forced to do certain things, it is the very nature of freak societies to throw up weird leaders - Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim il-Sung, etc.

Dynamic Towards Full-Scale Confrontation
|Will they fight?
What does the west want Kiev to do - block the convoy? Maybe, seeing how Arsen Avakov, Kiev's minister of internal affairs, posted a Facebook message on August 13 saying that "no Putin 'humanitarian convoy'" will be allowed across the territory of Kharkiv, describing it as a "provocation by a cynical aggressor". Western hypocrisy is astounding. It is now intervening militarily in northern Iraq to supposedly prevent the 'genocide' of Yazidis, Christian and other minorities trapped on the mountains. But if they spoke Russian they would probably be allowed to starve - if not get fired upon by US fighter jets.

BNP: From the sewer and back
|A great victory?
Particularly disastrous on that evening was Griffin's refusal to answer a direct question about the Nazi genocide on the feeble basis that "European law" prevented him elaborating upon his views - making him look cowardly, shifty and decidedly suspect. Not something you really want in your populist leader. Unsurprisingly, many of the BNP's own members were mortified by Griffin's performance - immediately attacking him, and the BBC, on the BNP's website. Nor has the BBC been forgiven. In the readers' comments on the Daily Mail website, discussing an article about the BNP leadership change, 'George W' from London reminds us of the BBC's nefarious role: "[Griffin] never recovered from his ill-advised appearance on Question time. Remember it? The whole structure of the normal programme changed and he was attacked by the other four on the panel, as well as 99% of the audience. The BBC called it fair and balanced. It was modern bear-baiting."

"The traditional core of the Republican party opposes you on almost every social issue," he said. Hoover responded by pointing out that a majority of Americans do, in fact, support a woman's right to abortion as well as support the legal recognition for married same-sex couples. "People like you who try to divide our party on social issues, that is not the way forward for the Republican Party," Hoover said. Check out the entire segment below: Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com As welcoming as it is to have another young Republican coming out in favor of marriage rights (which our president has yet to do), Hoover, Megan McCain and others like them are in for a tough battle. O'Reilly is right, the GOP, especially in places like Georgia, may never support full LGBT equality.

The only reason the Art Awards don't have a "Best Makeup" category, we assume, is because Cindy Sherman would win every year. And yet, despite her decades of adopting stunning, chamelonic disguises, it's taken this long for the Jersey-born, Manhattan-based artist to make good on an obvious and completely ridiculous merchandising opportunity: a line of Cindy Sherman makeup.
Ladies: which of Cindy Sherman's iconic characters have you always wanted to appear as in public, but haven't because you can't quite figure out how to create that particular shade of sagging mascara-caked old blue blood skin, the glistening and slightly decomposed sheen, or that oily Renaissance self-portrait tone? Fear not, your (unusual) prayers will be answered on September 29, when MAC launches the Cindy Sherman for MAC line.
Beauty product blog BellaSugar reports that Sherman created three new looks to showcase the new line's products (pictured). The limited edition series will include "lipsticks, eyeliners, eyeshadows and other beauty essentials," though apparently no wigs or prosthetic noses and chins.
No word yet on prices, but given that one of Sherman's images recently had the highest auction price ever fetched by a photograph, it seems safe to assume that her beauty products won't come cheap either—plus they're "limited edition," whatever that means. At least this makes more sense than the Jeff Koons moisturizer.

Being on the border of Switzerland you have amazing views of the Swiss Alps. The family and neighbours extremely hospitable and could not do any more for you especially Mauritizo and Isabella who try to accommodate where ever possible. The neighbour brought lots of fresh veg from his garden when we were doing a barbecue which were delicious when we made a ratatouille. The space is vast, well equipped and modern but still holds a unique romantic charm. Alongside the pool there are lots of activities and games to keep you amused. The sun rises on the balcony and garden so you get lots of sun in the morning til mid afternoon but it didn't restrict us from BBQ in the evenings as its still extremely warm.

California senator pushes utility security bill
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Prompted by last year's sabotage shooting attack of a PG&E substation, a California lawmaker has introduced legislation that would require utilities to beef-up security.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, a Democrat from San Mateo, announced the proposed legislation at a press conference Monday in San Francisco. Hill said serious security holes were exposed by the April attack by sniper shots of a substation near San Jose, Calif. that knocked out 17 transformers.
Officials rerouted power to avoid a blackout, but it took PG&E workers nearly a month to repair the damage. No arrests have been made.
Hill's bill would require utilities to assess security risks and make needed improvements.
A PG&E spokesman said the utility is reviewing bill. He said the utility began revamping its security after the attack.

Rated 5 out of 5�by blackjack07 Love these shoes I have almost every color...but they have changed them a little so I don't really like the look of the new ones...so I found these and had to get another black pair. September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Erin246 Shoes completely fell apart the third time they were worn My transaction and the customer service I received Dick's Sporting Goods was excellent. However, this Nike product was horrible. I have been buying Nike shoes for years with no problems. My 12 year old son wanted these Nike Free 5.0 shoes for school this year. I ordered them from Dick's online, and they arrived quickly with no issues. On the third day he wore them, he came home from school, and half of the sole was detached on the right shoe. The left shoe sole was also loosening. I took the shoes to my local Dick's. They gave me a full refund with no hassle at all. I used the refund to buy my son a different type of Nike shoes and feel hopeful that there will not be any issues. August 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Chris High comfort no durability My son loves comfort of shoe but durability is poor. Shoes only last 2 months before sole wears through with average use. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by ashleysmom Good shoes but shipped used. I bought these for my daughter. She loves the shoes. Fit is perfect (we used the size converter for mens and womens). My only problem was that the shoes were not new. I expected a brand new pair for the money we paid, but the laces were untied and the bottoms were dirty (not too worn, but very upsetting).

Dallas Mavericks: Dallas Mavericks
Cuban: Mavs not trying to trade Felton
That comes straight from owner Mark Cuban, who offered an emphatic "no" when asked whether the Mavs would look to move Felton, who was acquired along with center Tyson Chandler in last month's six-player trade with the New York Knicks.
"We like him and think he will have a great year," Cuban told ESPNDallas.com via the Cyber Dust messaging app. "Do quote me on that."
The Mavs envision Nelson, Felton and Devin Harris all getting significant playing time at point guard and some minutes at shooting guard behind Monta Ellis, as well.
Nobody, least of all Felton, denies that the nine-year veteran point guard is coming off a dreadful season in New York. Felton averaged a career-low 9.7 points and a near-career-low 5.6 assists for a disappointing Knicks team that failed to make the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference.
Felton, who has averaged 13.1 points and 6.5 assists during his career, dealt with injury issues (a groin strain) and off-court problems (a divorce and arrest on gun charges) last season. He's healthy now and hungry to prove himself again.
"Just to show everybody that I've still got it, I still can play," Felton said on a recent conference call with Dallas reporters. "I still can play the game at this level. I still play as an elite point guard at this level. That's just all.
"When you come off a season like I had last year, there's always a point where you've got to prove yourself coming back the next season. And trust me, I look forward to it."
So do the Mavs, Cuban insists.
Picking through the scraps for a stretch 4
There is a void in the Mavericks' rotation after they voided Rashard Lewis' contract due to the discovery that the veteran forward needed knee surgery.
Dallas doesn't have a backup for Dirk Nowitzki.Shawn Marion to power forward when the face of the franchise rested. The odds of Marion returning to Dallas are awfully slim at this point, but Chandler Parsons will play some power forward. Mavs officials have also mentioned that Brandan Wright will play more power forward than he has in the past few years.
Still, it'd be ideal to have a power forward with perimeter-shooting ability on the bench, giving the Mavs a backup for Nowitzki who wouldn't force fundamental changes to the offense when he's on the floor. That's why a healthy Lewis would have been a good fit for the veteran's minimum.
Some potential minimum-priced free agents who might be able to fill that role:
Charlie Villanueva: He was a disaster in Detroit after signing a five-year, $38 million contract, playing only 20 games in the final year of the deal last season. Maybe he'd benefit from a change of scenery. He's 6-foot-11, 232 pounds, turns 30 next month and has career averages of 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. He shot a career-best 38.7 percent from 3-point range in 2010-11, his last relatively productive season.
Earl Clark: The 6-foot-10, 225-pound Clark has played for five teams since the Phoenix Suns selected him with the 14th overall pick in the 2009 draft. His best season came as a part-time starter for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012-13, when he averaged 7.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game. His career shooting percentages (40.4 from the floor, 33.1 from 3-point range) aren't exactly appealing.
Antawn Jamison: It's been more than a decade since Jamison's one-season stint in Dallas, when he earned the Sixth Man of the Year award. At 38, Jamison might not have any gas left in the tank. He averaged only 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 22 games last season for the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks before the deadline. The Hawks waived him and Jamison didn't get a job the rest of the season.
Al Harrington: At 34, the 6-foot-9 Harrington might be ready to make the transition to coaching after 16 seasons in the league. A career 35.2 percent 3-point shooter, Harrington averaged 6.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15 minutes per game for the Washington Wizards last season, playing in only 34 games.
Cuban: Mavs might save $2.7M exception
"We're talking to a couple of players, but it's one of those things that if we don't get the right player, we'll just hold it so that during the season when a player gets cut, we'll have that opportunity to offer," Cuban said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's "Fitzsimmons and Friedo."
There has been mutual interest between the Mavs and guard Mo Williams throughout the free-agency period. However, Williams has offers for more than the $2.7 million salary the Mavs can offer, sources said.
A source also told ESPNDallas.com recently that Williams wasn't the Mavs' top target for their $2.7 million exception, declining to elaborate on the player who is a higher priority. (Jameer Nelson?)
If the Mavs opt not to use the exception this summer, they'd be positioned to outbid many teams for veteran players who receive midseason buyouts. That is how the Mavs acquired swingman Corey Brewer during the 2011 title season.
Is Chandler breaking down or ready to rebound?
It's a legitimate question, just like it was four years ago. The Mavs hope the evidence to the contrary is just as conclusive as it was during Chandler's first stint in Dallas.
During his last season in New York, Chandler didn't really resemble the center who was such a critical piece to the 2011 Mavs' championship puzzle, much less the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year or 2013 All-Star. His production in an injury-plagued season (averages of 8.7 points and 9.6 rebounds in only 55 games) was his worst since his lone season in Charlotte, just before the Mavs acquired Chandler in a salary-dump deal.
Yet Chandler, who turns 32 in October, has no doubt he can be the big man Mavs fans remember from four seasons ago. He's physically healthy -- and hopes to stay that way with the help of the Mavs' outstanding medical staff -- and mentally rejuvenated after the dysfunctional Knicks traded him back to Dallas.
"I think I can be better." Chandler said during his conference call with Dallas reporters last month. "I finished the season healthy, so this summer I was able to start earlier. I took a couple of weeks off and then I already started getting back in the gym and improving things. I want to get back to thinking and moving the way I moved. I started correcting things mentally and physically. I was already looking forward to this summer because I felt like there was so many things I could improve on.
"Then once I started in the gym, I've already seen in the six weeks or two months I've been working out so much improvement already that I'm truly excited. When this happened and I know I'm putting myself in a situation again to really have a shot at making a run, it just gives me more to work on and more excitement and more drive."
Mavs sign F Griffin to nonguaranteed deal
"It's been a long time coming, but it's a blessing at the same time," Griffin said. "I'm just happy to be part of a team that wants me."
The 6-foot-8, 194-pound Griffin averaged 9.8 points in 19.3 minutes during four games with the Mavs' team in the Las Vegas Summer League. He had several highlight-worthy slam dunks during the summer league.
Griffin has played professionally in Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Italy in addition to spending the 2013 preseason with the Miami Heat. If he does not make the Dallas roster, Griffin's D-League rights will be owned by the Mavs affiliate Texas Legends.
"It's definitely not over," Griffin said of his dream of playing in the NBA. "I've got to prove myself to the team and the organization."
The Mavs still have their $2.7 million cap-room exception and a minimum-salary slot available to fill out their roster.

Mavs find value with 'Merry Minimums'
The "Merry Minimums," as the Mavs' brass often refers to the minimum-salary veterans that fill out the roster, included significant contributors Devin Harris and DeJuan Blair last season.
The Mavs filled three of their minimum slots this summer with players who should at least factor into Rick Carlisle's rotation, if not play every night. Swingman Richard Jefferson, small forward Rashard Lewis and center Greg Smith are all good bang-for-buck additions.
A look at how the three new members of the Merry Minimums can help the Mavs:
Vince Carter and Jose Calderon. The 34-year-old made 40.9 percent of his long-distance attempts for the Utah Jazz last season, the third time in four years that he shot better than 40 percent from 3. He averaged 10.1 points in 27 minutes per game as a starter for the Jazz, but the Mavs won't ask nearly that much from him.
Lewis: At 34, Lewis hardly resembles the scoring threat the Mavs tried to steal from Seattle long ago. The two-time All-Star is a role player now who has the experience of playing in three NBA Finals, including the last two seasons with the Miami Heat. "We're always looking for veteran players who are pros and know how to win playoff games," Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. "He definitely fits that mold." Lewis also fits the mold of a stretch 4, allowing the Mavs the luxury of having a legitimate backup for Dirk Nowitzki that doesn't require completely changing the offensive scheme. The 6-foot-10 Lewis is a career 38.6 percent 3-point shooter and a quality defender, especially in pick-and-roll and isolation situations.
Smith: The 6-foot-10, 250-pounder, who was sent to Dallas in a salary-dump deal from Chicago, will replace Blair as the Mavs' bargain-priced banger. "Our front line really needs a DeJuan-type presence," Nelson said. "[Smith] is a thick-body rebounder and enforcer." Smith, 23, had season-ending knee surgery in February, which the Mavs anticipate will be a "maintenance issue" this season. But there is hope that Smith can get back to his form from 2012-13, when he averaged 6.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game for the Houston Rockets.
Who are Mavs targeting with $2.7M exception?
However, a source said that there is one target for the $2.7 million slot who the Mavs have higher on their board than Williams.
Who is that target? Mum is the word from the Mavs.
Here are a few educated guesses, none of which Mavs sources would independently confirm or deny:
Evan Turner: This would be an awfully low price for a player four years removed from being the second overall pick in the draft, but Turner certainly didn't help his stock after a midseason trade to the Indiana Pacers, averaging only 3.3 points as a bit player during the playoffs. A short-term deal in Dallas might allow Turner to showcase his skills as a sixth man and give the Mavs a high-upside replacement for Vince Carter with scoring and ball-handling ability. The 6-foot-7 Turner averaged 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game as a starter for the 34-48 76ers in 2012-13.
Jordan Crawford: He's a 25-year-old gunner who has bounced around the league, already playing for four teams. The 6-foot-4 Crawford, who can only play shooting guard, is a streaky shooter who has averaged 12.2 points per game during his career, hitting only 40.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and 30.6 from long range. But his last two games against the Mavs might have left a pretty good impression. He had a pair of 19-point performances in Warriors wins over Dallas in March and April, going 15-of-22 from the floor in those two games.
Jameer Nelson: Nelson, who spent his entire 10-year career with the Orlando Magic before the rebuilding team recently released him, might be the best point guard on the roster if he signed with the Mavs. He averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 assists last seasons, numbers pretty similar to his career stats, and he is a better spot-up 3-point shooter than Raymond Felton or Devin Harris. His 44 games of playoff experience could also be attractive to the Mavs. Then again, a point guard with his credentials might be able to get significantly more than $2.7 million.
The dollar details on Dirk's discount deal
2014-15 salary: $7,974,482
2015-16 salary: $8,333,334
2016-17 salary: $8,692,184
The three-year, $25 million contract includes a player option for the third season.
Nowitzki will be the fourth-highest paid player on the Mavs' roster this season behind Tyson Chandler ($14,846,888), Chandler Parsons ($14,700,000) and Monta Ellis ($8,360,000).
Mavs hope to teach an old dog new tricks
Want proof?
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle spent time with Johnson after "training camp" practices in Dallas to work on his 3-point shot.
Johnson had 19 total attempts from long range in his 125-game stint with the Atlanta Hawks from 2011 to 2013. The Mavs clearly see something in the 30-year-old forward. But the results of the work in the first two games in Las Vegas weren't great, as he went 1-for-11 from 3-point range.
The persistence paid off in the team's final preliminary game of the summer league, however, and Johnson finished 2-for-4 from 3 in a win over the Toronto Raptors.
"Practice makes perfect," he said.
Dallas certainly will look to see if his strong finish in shooting in the preliminary round can translate into the summer league playoffs. The Mavs will stay the course with the veteran forward and continue to let him shoot those perimeter shots.
"We're going to stay positive with him," said Mavs summer league coach Kaleb Canales. "They're open looks and good looks in our system. We want him to shoot [3-point baskets] and shoot them with confidence. He knocked them down [on Sunday], and we're going to keep encouraging him to shoot that shot."
Dallas president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said before the team left Las Vegas that Johnson was "more than just a summer league guy" for his team. Based on that statement and Carlisle's time investment, Johnson could be in the process of being groomed for a roster spot -- groomed with a very specific skill added to the arsenal, that is.
Johnson is an undersized low-post player in a similar vein to DeJuan Blair. Such players are brought in the game to change the flow of the game and create constructive chaos. It's intriguing to see the Mavs trying to develop his shooting range, when he's known more as an aggressive player who gets in the middle of things.
"I'm still that same dude," Johnson said, flashing a smile that showed off his six-tooth gold-and-diamond grill. "I'm still that dude, but I'm expanding my game."
While they are trying to add a new dimension to his offensive game, the Mavs also are trying to ensure Johnson maintains the assertive identity he's known for on the defensive end of the floor and when he attacks the glass. In maintaining his style and spreading out the floor, the staff hopes to bring a different dynamic to Johnson's game altogether.
Showing he is coachable in the development of a perimeter shot could go a long way in extending Johnson's career. That's what the Mavs are envisioning with this assignment for Johnson.
"We've talked about it as a staff in terms of what we want him to specifically do this summer," Canales said. "He's doing a good job with that. We're going to keep getting in the gym with him and keep trying develop that shot for him, which I think will be a good weapon for him going forward."
If persistence and practice pay off for Johnson, he'll be able to continue his dream of playing in the NBA -- whether it's for the Mavs or elsewhere.
Parsons looks forward to learning from Dirk
"It'll be amazing to play with him," Parsons said on a conference call with Dallas reporters.
Parsons, the 25-year-old, multi-skilled small forward, intends to take full advantage of the opportunity. Parsons was a captain in Houston last season and plans to take on significant leadership role in Dallas, but there's no doubt he'll be in line behind the big German and looks forward to following and learning from Nowitzki.
As a former second-round pick who had to prove he was worth a roster spot, much less a starting job, Parsons prides himself on being an extremely hard worker. He can learn to work smarter by watching Nowitzki and picking the future Hall of Famer's brain.
"Everything he does, I'm going to be a sponge and absorb everything," Parsons said. "I look forward to getting into the gym with him, getting there early and getting shots up with him. It's not often that you get to play with one of the greatest of all time, so I'm looking forward to absorbing any info I can."
Nowitzki and Parsons have developed a friendship over the last few years, with Parsons playing in Nowitzki's charity baseball game a couple of times. When they go out to dinner next season, Parsons should probably pick up the checks, considering Nowitzki's drastic hometown-discount deal made it possibly for the Mavs to bid aggressively and sign the restricted free agent to a three-year, $46 million deal.
Of course, Nowitzki didn't accept a three-year, $25 million deal to make room on the roster for his friends. He did it because he values the Mavs having a chance to contend more than money at this point in his career.
"That just shows what kind of guy he is," Parsons said. "Dirk is a true professional. He's so loyal to Dallas and this organization. Those are the types of guys you want in the locker room and the types of guys you want to play with."
It's also the type of guy that Parsons can learn a lot from.
Parsons hasn't 'even scratched the surface'
The Houston Rockets, his former team, weren't willing to financially commit to Parsons as the third foundation piece on their roster. That bothers Parsons, 25, but he's thrilled the Mavs are betting he will blossom in Dallas.
"A bigger role and more leadership in Dallas is really what I wanted and what I felt was best for me at this point in my career," Parsons said Tuesday evening on a conference call with Dallas reporters. "I thought this was the perfect place for me to do it. With the current guys that they have here and the system that [Coach Rick Carlisle] has, I just think it'll be perfect for the style of play that I have.
"I have nothing but love for Houston, but at the same time, I'm definitely excited for a bigger role in Dallas and to be that guy on the team who can hopefully be here for a long time and be a big building block going forward."
Parsons didn't back off his comments to Yahoo! Sports about feeling "offended" that the Rockets, who had the right to match the offer to their restricted free agent, did not consider Parsons worth the $46 million price if it meant sacrificing Houston's flexibility to pursue another star. However, Parsons said he didn't mean to sound "ungrateful or disrespected in any way."
"I hope I didn't hurt anybody's feelings, and I hope there's no hard feelings there, because I had a great time in Houston. I created a lot of memories there and have nothing but love and respect for the organization, the coaching staff and my teammates," Parsons said. "But it's just offensive when they're publicly saying they don't have a third star and they're going after a third star when I was right there in front of them."
Parsons said the Rockets' front office "really did me a solid" by declining the team option to pay him $965,000 for the final season of his rookie contract. That made Parsons a restricted free agent this summer instead of an unrestricted free agent in 2015.
Houston expected to match any offer for Parsons, but the Rockets didn't anticipate him getting a near-max contract. The Rockets still intended to match keep Parsons, but Houston's plans changed after they failed to sign All-Star power forward Chris Bosh, a development that surprised the franchise.
Houston general manager Daryl Morey has said he had doubts the Rockets could contend for a title with Parsons locked into an "untradable" contract.
The Dallas decision-makers did what they deemed necessary to acquire an ascending talent. Parsons has increased his scoring, rebounding and assist totals each season he has been in the league. He averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists for a 54-win Houston team last season that got eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The Mavs paid a premium rate for Parsons' promise, aggressively recruiting an impact player whose arrow is going up. The Dallas brass expects Parsons to flourish as a point-forward type in their flow offense and sees ample room for further growth in his game.
Parsons shares those visions, to say the least.
"I'm a very confident guy," Parsons said. "That's the big reason why I wanted to come to Dallas, because they do view me as that guy."
Contending in Dallas priceless to Dirk
The answer is probably priceless.
This wasn't just about Dirk's desire to win. If that's all that mattered, he'd be headed to Houston. The Rockets would have loved nothing more than to put the sweetest-shooting 7-footer in NBA history on the floor with shooting guard James Harden and center Dwight Howard. The Rockets would have kept Chandler Parsons in that case and featured the best starting five in the NBA.
Nowitzki, however, is too loyal to consider leaving the only NBA home he's ever known. He desperately wants to contend for another championship, but departing Dallas to do it was never an option he considered.
Maybe it'd be different if there hadn't been a championship parade in downtown Dallas a few summers ago. If Nowitzki still didn't own a championship ring, the thought of a Karl Malone-like, late-career jump to a contender would surely have been tempting.
But, with a Finals MVP trophy on his mantel, Nowitzki can comfortably continue his longtime plan to be a one-team man.
The choice Nowitzki made more than a year ago, when he publicly committed to taking a Tim Duncan-like discount to stay in Dallas when his contract expired this summer, was to sacrifice a small fortune to maximize the Mavs' chances of contending for a championship during his golden years.
It's not like Mark Cuban had a tough time negotiating with Nowitzki, who has never had an agent. At this point in his career, Nowitzki is essentially an assistant general manager, so it was just a matter of figuring out how massive his pay cut needed to be to allow the Mavs to fill their needs.
This is an unprecedented hometown discount, coming in at $5 million less than Duncan's deal over the course of his contract. Nowitzki, who took $16 million under max on his previous contract, gave the Mavs enough salary cap wiggle room to overpay Parsons and re-sign Devin Harris after Dallas traded for Tyson Chandler.
The Dirk discount also guarantees that the Mavs will be major players in next summer's free agency shopping as well. It also might plant seeds of sacrifice in the mind of Monta Ellis, who can opt out of his three-year, $25 million contract next summer or wait a year to be paid market value by the Mavs.
Clearly, Nowitzki is never going to have to plead poverty after making more than $200 million during his career, but he's gone above and beyond with his loyalty and generosity to Dallas. That is true as the face of the franchise and a community man, as anyone who saw him grant every autograph request long after the lights were out at his sold-out charity baseball game last month can attest.
Nowitzki has two goals for the rest of his career: Retire as a Maverick and win another championship, in that order of importance. The money doesn't matter that much.
Rockets give Chandler Parsons motivation
First, the Rockets exposed Parsons to restricted free agency, allowing the small forward to test the market instead of exercising the team option to pay him six figures in the final season of his rookie contract. That move, the biggest mistake of the NBA offseason, ultimately resulted in Parsons getting a 1,500 percent raise from the Dallas Mavericks.
Morey's message got through to Parsons loud and clear: The Rockets don't consider him to be good enough to be the third-best player on a championship contender. The Rockets would rather have hope of landing a proven superstar such as Rajon Rondo or Kevin Love than Parsons clogging their salary cap.
That's why the Rockets declined their right to match the offer from the Mavs, who admittedly bid a bit higher than Parsons' market value to maximize their chances of getting a 25-year-old small forward who fits so well in coach Rick Carlisle's flow offense.
The Mavs are betting that Parsons will keep getting better after averaging 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for a 54-win, first-round-exiting team last season. He has improved in each of those categories in each of his three NBA seasons after suffering the indignity of slipping to the second round despite being the SEC player of the year.
Mavs strike with aggression this summer
The Mavs have acquired center Tyson Chandler, small forward Chandler Parsons, point guard Raymond Felton, a young big man in Greg Smith and a veteran perimeter forward in Richard Jefferson. They have been incredibly aggressive this summer. As always, they've tried to stay opportunistic in the market, whether it be by trade or the free-agent market. To this point, they've done well.
You can't fault Nelson for being ambitious or for his wit. The Mavs ultimately got the man they wanted in Parsons. It was a move that was priority No. 1 for Dallas.
"We targeted Parsons from a very early stage. We feel he can play 4, 3. He can shoot the long ball, he can get the ball into the gut and make passes," Nelson said. "He's also a team guy and he knows what to do without the ball. He can grab it off the glass and push the ball. He knows what to do without the ball and doesn't need the ball to be effective.
"Where do you stop? He's kind of a perfect, tailored guy for the Mavericks."
Looking around the league, a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to come out smelling like roses in regard to their summer spending. That said, you can't discount what Dallas has done as they've made big moves. Continuity was a big buzzword for the Mavs going into the offseason. Continuity is nice, but getting better talent is, well, better.
"We're doing well. We're changing the team, we're getting it better and improving," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle told ESPN Dallas. "Those are all things that are exciting. We've got more spaces to fill and we've got more good prospects. We're going to keep pushing forward."
Their last major asset left in terms of money is their $2.7 million exception. While they could go different ways with the money, one focus is on their mind.
"I think we're looking for the best player," Nelson said. "As long as we can get that, we're happy. There's lot of backup roles that are needed. We can go in a variety of different directions, from point guard to center. I think we're going to try to get the best possible player we can."
Whoever the final pieces to the puzzle are, they will put a nice shiny bow on a successful offseason. The challenge will then become trying to become successful in terms of regular season and hopefully playoff games.
Smith to join Mavs for summer league playoffs?
The plan is for him to participate in the Summer League playoffs, a source confirmed. The playoffs portion of the summer league begin on Wednesday. Smith will be taking his physical Tuesday. He is expected to arrive in Las Vegas shortly after that.
Smith is coming off knee surgery that was taken care of in February. If he is able to be cleared and there's still games to be played, Smith will be available for games. For the Mavs, they will play at least two games as that is the minimum that Dallas would play in the playoff portion of the summer league.
The 6-foot-10, 250-pound Smith averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game over the last three seasons with the Houston Rockets. The Bulls signed him through next season after Houston waived him in April.
Chris Haynes of Comcast SportsNet Northwest first reported the story.

Basic Inflatable EZ Bed 319 338
Love this bed! This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. The bed is so easy to set up and very comfortable especially for last minute guests. I would recommend having at least one in the house. Easy to transport too! December 16, 2013
EZ bed is truly that! I bought both the Queen size and the Twin bed for overflow company at Thanksgiving. The beds were exactly as advertised - very simple to set up, comfortable to sleep on, and very easy to take down. The first few nights I had teens sleeping on them, but the true test came when my elderly aunt and uncle used them. I gave them an extra bit of inflation, but they really only needed a little bit. My aunt raved about how comfortable they are. So - they get the Aunt Barb seal of approval! December 14, 2013
good value Very good value for the money. Very easy to use and allows guests to 'get of the floor' December 13, 2013
Excellent Product The Inflatable EZ Bed is an excellent product. Very easy to set up and take down and is a good value for the dollar. December 12, 2013
Excellent buy. We may buy another or two. The bed inflated easily and stayed inflated. Good buy for people who have occasional guests. December 12, 2013
EZ Bed is EZ to use Great for the Grandparents. Just plug in and turn on. It sits has high as the regular bed so it is easy to get into and out of once it is set up. No had to give up their room or sleep on the floor. Super easy to take down and put away. December 7, 2013
Fantastic bed We have had several air mattresses in the past, all of which failed in a short period of time. We love this mattress, the kids love it, our grandkids love it. They enjoy the ease of inflating and deflating...the fun of watching it do it automatically. The carrying case with wheels make it very easy to move around. Thanks for a great product. December 6, 2013
basic inflatable EZ bed We have not yet had an opportunity to use the EZ bed; however we did set it up and left it up overnight. It was comfortable and stayed inflated. The rolling case works great. December 6, 2013
As described The bed worked as described. It was comfy for our guests and the kids loved watching the inflate/deflate. Our guests suggested adding a blanket underneath the sheets to create a buffer from the chill of the actual mattress, then it was perfect! December 5, 2013
Terrific Product EZ Bed surpassed expectations especially the comfort of the air mattress. Performed exactly as portrayed in the product video. High recommend it and a great value for the quality. December 4, 2013
Great Buy...so far. My 27 year old son slept on it for a week and there was no problem what-so-ever. Certainly not as comfortable as a sleep sofa, but it was comfortable enough. Watching it automatically open and close is truly an experience to behold. When done using it, it folds back into a neat little suitcase with wheels and a handle...a very cleverly designed item. My only concern is some of the previous reviews that have talked about leaks developing. It comes with a few leak patches which seems like a tip-off that this may be a probability down the line. Since ours is new, only time will tell. One suggestion for the manufacturer - the pump does not have an automatic shut-off hence I would think that if you try to make the mattress super firm, you have a better chance of puttin too much pressure on the seams and making it leak. The manuf. should make it so that it shuts off at a firm setting, and that setting would be some sort of safety setting against any leaks. I pumped mine up with some caution. December 4, 2013
Best Inflatable Bed I liked that this bed is set up off of the floor. It was super easy to inflate and deflate. It was comfortable to sleep on. December 4, 2013
Better Than Expected When I read the description of this being so easy to inflate and deflate, I thought it was just hype. Actually, it's the truth. You simply unzip the case, lay it flat, plug it in and turn the switch. It inflates! When done, you flip the switch and it deflates, the sides flip up and in by themselves - and you turn it off. Then push the assembly back into itself, fold up the case sides and zip it closed The only drawback - there's no way to tuck the sheets and blanket in because the mattress is tied into the support legs. We solved the problem with a fitted bottom sheet and then used hefty string to tie the corners of the top sheet and blankets to the legs at the foot of the bed. This kept the bedclothes from slipping off the sleeper in the middle of the night. Report from the sleeper is that the mattress was very comfortable. We would buy it again and rcommend it to a friend. December 3, 2013
Wonderful Portable Bed This was the perfect solution to providing beds for all our guests. Love the way the bed opens and closes, the operation is smooth and fast (no more trying to squeeze all the air out of an air mattress). While the bed itself is good, I added a mattress topper for extra comfort. The twin bed was perfect for putting my elderly mother in law on the first floor of our house during her stay. Shipping was very quick. December 3, 2013
Inflatable bed Perfect bed for family thanksgiving visit in SoCal. Very comfortable. My four grandchildren even found a use for the box, and made it into a fort. November 27, 2013
Very pleased We purchased this as an extra bed for our daughter's family's visit over Thanksgiving. We were a bit leery of having them sleep on an inflatable mattress but have gotten only very positive comments. It was a very good purchase! November 26, 2013
EZ Bed is very easy My son spent a weekend on the new EZ Bed and found it a little cold but otherwise satisfactory. I just put a fleece throw under the mattress pad and that helped. November 20, 2013
EZ Bed - Twin Bed set-up was exactly as described. Have had 2 guests sleep on it so far. One man was 6' and 200 lbs. and slept great. Other was a woman, 5'4, 105 lbs. Both loved the bed! My only issue is that the way it is constructed, you have to be creative in the way you tuck the end of sheets and blanket at the foot of the bed under the mattress. Worth every penny! November 20, 2013
the ultimate office bed so easy to set up and take down but not lacking comfort. Better than a sofa bed that takes up room all year round. Love this! November 19, 2013
easy to operate -all around great product I really like the inflatable bed. It's so easy to use, comfortable and convenient. November 19, 2013
Basic Inflatable EZ Bed The bed is a lot easier to set up then the basic blow up mattress. More manual to put away then set up. Worth the price. November 19, 2013
A perfect solution We needed a bed for our son to use when he is in town visiting. My husband had turned his bedroom into an office. I researched other inflated beds and the reviews on those were not good. So, I found the EZ bed on sale at Grandin Road. Although no one has slept on it yet, we tried out the inflate/deflate features when it was delivered and it worked just like the video claimed it would. I laid on it and it seems very comfortable. We were able to store it in the back of a closet, so it takes up no necessary space. Seems like a perfect solution to our problem. November 14, 2013
Compact Storage We inflated it and it takes longer than your advertised 3 minutes. Seems comfortable enough,we will know more after our holiday company uses it. November 12, 2013
As advertised When we saw these in the catalog we opted for the inflatable beds over Murphy beds in our den because of the cost. I will be building cabinets on each side of our fireplace to store the beds. When the grand kids stay over, we can just inflate for use in a couple minutes. November 12, 2013
Brilliant! If I could have designed one useful item for the home, it would have been this one. From the rolling case that is attached to and lies under the bed when fully opened to the way the bed automatically folds open and closed simply from the air pressure, this is genius. It fits nicely in a standard depth closet. And so reasonably priced. I have lain on the bed, and it is quite comfortable. Only time will tell how durable it is, but for now, if you have a room that on occasion is used as a bedroom, as my office is, then I strongly recommend this solution. November 7, 2013
Great customer service - great bed Bought the bed for company. Easy as the video to set up. However, bed had unfixable hole in it. I called customer service and they immediately shipped out a new bed and put in an order for UPS pickup on the old bed. Had the new bed within 48 hours, ready for company. Never before experienced such great customer service! Love the bed! Comfortable, and great for older company who don't want to crawl off the floor like other inflatable mattresses. November 6, 2013
Better product that I expected We were looking for a daybed/futon etc. and saw the EZ BED watched the video - thought this would fit the bill. INSTANT GUEST ROOM - I' m 6'2" and 190 pounds and I found the bed quite comfortable - especially since you are not laying on the floor. When not in use it's easy to store - worth the price and some! November 5, 2013
great bed! highly recommended! this bed is everything the reviews (company and personal) said it would be. it is super easy to inflate and deflate, provides a very comfortable sleeping surface, and packages up in a neat and easy to store case. i highly recommend it -- and i'm not a person who usually does this. November 4, 2013
Great bed We purchased this bed within a month after we moved into a larger home. We needed a couple of beds for visitors and we did not want to have to go through the pains of shopping / delivery of a new bed while settling into our new home. Our visitors were 55+ y.o., so we went with this bed, since it is off the ground. We could not be happier. The shipment arrived promptly. The bed comes in an integrated case for storage -- adequate for simple storage/moving --- though it is not something you would want to put through an airport baggage system. Once the case was unzipped, the bed was pulled out to length, and plugged in. The bed was engineered such that the inflation basically unfolds the bed to its useable state (save linens). When finished using the bed, the 'deflate' switch folds the bed back to a state whereby it can be pushed back into the case. It could not be simpler. Moving it up and down stairs might be a bit cumbersome for a person with a smaller frame - but it is not terribly heavy. We have used both beds for two separate visitors - stowing them in between visits and have not had an issue with inflation/deflation or leaks. The item is shipped in a box that indicates it was made for another company that starts with an 'F' and ends with 'gate' and sells for a fair bit more at the same company's online site (Perhaps this might be an older model?). November 4, 2013
Inflatable Bed this is an outstanding item. Very easy to use - both inflate and deflate - sturdy and looks like a real bed. We feel this is a very good value. November 2, 2013

How punctue proof?
Longwood, FL, USA
I have two cats with claws, obviously. They don't 'scratch' into things normally, however jumping on/off the bed I'm concerned they'll accidentally puncture this. Does anyone who has this bed have pets? If so, how deep a mattress cover should I buy to keep this bed 'safe'? I'd like to know if the bed material is thick and/or fairly puncture proof before I buy. Thank you.

Cardinal Baseball falls to UTA 9-1
BEAUMONT, Texas – The luck of the Irish wasn't with the Lamar University baseball team on St. Patrick's Day, despite the fact the Cardinals took to the field wearing special green St. Patty's Day caps.
Nothing went right for the Cardinals in the sixth inning as UT Arlington broke open a tight game by erupting for eight runs en route to a 9-1 victory over the Cardinals in a Southland Conference game at Vincent-Beck Stadium.
"It was a pitchers' duel until then," Lamar coach Jim Gilligan said. "But UT Arlington took care of that."
Lamar starter Eric Harrington (0-3) cruised through the first five innings, allowing just one hit. But Harrington retired only one batter in the sixth while allowing five hits and five runs. UT Arlington (13-7 overall, 3-2 Southland) scored three more runs off reliever Ben Coram before the Cardinals (6-12, 0-5) finally got out of the inning. Coram worked the final 3 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and four runs, while walking two and striking out three.
Wayne Stanley gave Lamar a 1-0 lead in the second with an RBI singles that played Thomas Henk. That was all Lamar could muster off of UTA starter Lance Day (6-0), who scattered seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. Michael Morales pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for the Mavericks.
Darian Johnson, Jeff Abt and Jude Vidrine had two hits apiece for the Cardinals. Stewart Hill went 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored for UT Arlington.
Lamar, which is 0-5 in conference play for the first time since 1988, looks to salvage the final game of the three-game series at 1 p.m. Sunday.
For ticket information, call (409) 880-1715, or visit LamarCardinals.com.

|Forum URL:
I've done some research on the Ashtabula County Walling family you're referring to. Charles Walling (1801-1842) had children Walter, Silas, Eunice, Sally, Phoebe, Sarah Ann, Clark, Joseph, Matilda, Ralph, & Hiram Augustus. Actually, I think that Charles was the son of the Revolutionary War soldier Simeon Walling.
My John Walling was b about 1764. There are reasons one could variously speculate that he was born in NY, NJ, CT, or PA. This John Walling was in Ashtabula County fairly briefly. He was still in NY in 1818. But by 1820 he was listed in the Ashtabula County census; he was also in the 1830 Ashtabula County census. My last sighting of him in Ashtabula County was in 1834. I suspect that he died about this time. John had six sons: three (John, Peter, Lewis) went to Fulton Co IL; two (Abram, Croel) ended up in MO; the oldest (Joel) went to Franklin Co OH.
There was also another early Ashtabula County Walling -- Joseph Walling who d there about 1819. His widow remarried in Ashtabula County and died there in the late 1850s. I have no idea who were the parents of this Joseph Walling.
I've never been able to link together these 4 Ashtabula Walling families: The Charles Walling family, my John Walling family, the early Joseph Walling, and the two Walling girls who married Pipers in 1835. Perhaps there is no link. I just don't know.
Do you know the following:
(1) Were Charlotte and Lucy sisters?
(2) Do you know the death dates/places of Charlotte and Lucy?
(3) In the 1880 census, Charlotte Piper, age 62, is in a two person household. The other person in the household is an Almira Wickham, 70, b MA. Do you know if there was any relationship between Almira Wickham and Charlotte and Lucy?
Thanks so much for responding. Hopefully, we can put our heads together and try to figure out the Ashtabula puzzle.

Everything was perfect Breakfast yummy
Welcome and information given was good. We were able to chose bedroom from the last 2 available, we opted for one at back which was extremely quiet. Although the bedroom was small it provided everything required - even biscuits and chocolates! Good service at breakfast which was served hot and plentiful.
Very small shower cubicle & small bath towels. Although the radiators had own controls the heating was hit and miss, perhaps draining the radiators would help.
Room and location were superb. Breakfast was outstanding.
Gwynneth was most helpful and her breakfasts particularly were outstanding - and served by the happiest person imaginable. The four-poster bedroom was lovely and made an anniversary more special. Everywhere is spotless and decorated and furnished to a very high standard. We will back back!
The breakfast was excellent, with good quality ingredients. Owner and staff were very attentive.
shower head could do with replacing, didn't fit on it's stand properly.
This guest house was well situated in a small residential street ,yet only a mile into the town centre. Gwyneth the owner was very helpful and friendly and cooked us a plentiful and hot delicious breakfast. which was a good start to the day.

Comfy beds Breakfast Clean rooms
The landlady was very helpful and friendly. Craiglands is very close to the promenade and the centre of Llandudno is a pleasant walk away. A well presented good quality breakfast.
Breakfast was excellent, owner was very accommodating, and location was just a block away from the boardwalk.
parking can be an issue if staying during the weekend.
My gratitude goes to Gyweneth for really extending her arm to allow my friend and I to have a pleasant stay in Llandudno.
4 poster bed! Recommend Romeos, a fantastic restaurant in town.
Bit windy!
The lady who owned the guest house was very keen to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The room was bright and clean. The breakfast was very good quality.
Lovely friendly staff. The room was very clean and tidy with a spotless bathroom which is always the giveaway. Also enjoyed a perfectly cooked full English breakfast. Great stay.
Nothing really.
Warm welcome, friendly staff, very clean and a great breakfast.
A friendly welcome, a comfortable and spacious room, and a good night's sleep. All this was followed by a very satisfying full English breakfast. And free parking right outside the hotel. Such a bargain!
Absolutely nothing.
Everything. The host mostly and how you were made to feel right at home. The room is quaint and nicely furnished. Nice touches here and there that makes the stay very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious (although a very generous portion and too much for me) but a very very good way to start the day.
I liked it all. No bad comments to give.
Excellent piping hot English breakfast cooked to order. Location away from main town which meant no issues with parking outside. Only 10 min walk along the sea front.
It felt dated but guess this is in keeping with the style of the property.

Laurence C. Jones
graduated from the University of Iowa in 1907. He was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, on November 21, 1884. Very little is known about Jones' college years. After graduation, Jones first taught at Utica Institute and later moved to Piney Woods, Mississippi, where he founded the Piney Woods Country Life School in 1909.
Jones started the school with little monetary resources and three students. Over the years, Jones transformed this small unknown academy into a premier institution. Jones was on the advisory council of the Mississippi Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and the state executive committee for the Y.M.C.A..
The University of Iowa (then SUI) President Virgil Hancher named Jones one of the University's 10 most outstanding alumni.
Up Through Difficulties
Piney Woods and Its Story
(1923), and
The Bottom Rail
(1933) are among several books and articles published by Jones.
