Cavs regroup after Brown's bad fit
New GM should course-correct after Cleveland's hiring mistake
It's harsh to say that the most successful coach in Cleveland Cavaliers history was a bad fit for the franchise. But Mike Brown was indeed a bad fit for the roster, and with the removal of general manager David Griffin's interim tag on Monday, he wasn't a good fit for the man calling the shots for Cleveland's basketball operations.
Even after presiding over Cleveland's 33-49 season, Brown's .620 winning percentage is the best in Cleveland history. Yet here's a sobering thought: In games in which Brown has had either LeBron James or Kobe Bryant on the floor, he's won 55 of every 82 games he's coached. Without either, that number is just 33.

Last Thursday the Bedford County School Board got its first look at a proposed budget from Schools Superintendent Dr. Douglas Schuch and at least one board member was surprised at what he saw.
"This is very frustrating to me," stated District 2 board member Dave Vaden.
Following its regular meeting Thursday night, the Bedford County School Board planned to talk more about the proposed 2011-12 budget. That never happened; comments made by Bedford Mayor Skip Tharp stopped any further discussion in its tracks.
"I think we need to get more clarification," stated District 4 board member Gary Hostutler.
Last year, Bedford County Public Schools cut out funding for the Early College program. This year's graduating seniors will be the last group to graduate with taxpayer funding.
The program still exists, however. There are a group of high school juniors now attending, with their parents footing the bill, and the program is taking applications for a new group of juniors for next year.
You can hand it to the parents of students from Bedford Primary School: They're doing their homework.
They've come to meetings to challenge a proposal to close the school armed with studies, alternate proposals and even, possibly, a legal loophole.
They've used the tried and true — good old footwork to get hundreds of names on petitions opposing the closure—and new technology to research and spread their message through the social media.
For the second year in a row parents and students of a school that could potentially be closed by the Bedford County School Board are letting their voices be heard.
"Didn't you retire?" Dr. Douglas Schuch, Bedford County's superintendent of schools, said with a laugh as he shook Viola Henry's hand at Thaxton Elementary School, Thursday.
Yes, Henry did retire at the end of the last school year, after 34-and-a-half years at Thaxton. Henry, however, continues to oversee the school's N.E.E.D. team in a volunteer capacity.
The Bedford County School Board will take public comments Thursday about the possible consolidation of schools as a result of cuts to next year's budget.
The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. at the Bedford Science and Technology Center's auditorium.
• Closing Bedford Primary School, moving those students to Bedford Elementary and the sixth graders from that school to Bedford Middle School. Potential savings: $530,000.
• Maintaining the current staffing standards, eliminating 23 positions. Potential savings: $1.17 million.
• Eliminate B-Team sports at the middle schools. Potential savings: $56,000.
Eighth graders won't be moved to Jefferson Forest and Liberty High School next year, but other major changes to save money and balance the school budget appear to be coming.
Among the possibilities gaining momentum from the Bedford County School Board:
• Closing Bedford Primary School, moving those students to Bedford Elementary and the sixth graders from that school to Bedford Middle School;
• Maintaining the current staffing standards, eliminating 23 positions;

I started taking celebrex 5 days ago and had no pain by the next day. But, today I woke up with a headache and took 3 aleves and my celebrex and today i noticed that my back and leg are killing me. I was just wondering if it could be because of taking the aleve.

Yes this is vega. My system is now being completely renewed. I had to sell my avantgarde audio duo mezzo and audio note neiro, because we need a room for my second son, which is on 23-th July to be borned. My first son is now 13 Months so how you can think i had not opportunity to hear the boxes really. So i decided to build a completely new system. A headphone one.post #29675 of 316383/27/14 at 2:05pm

I have been on this forum for some time now, but i was passive so far. Till today ;-).
I have contacted Piotr Ryka, who is the polish audiophile who knows different headphones very well. I knew stax, because i had some years ago stax system (4040 i think) and i liked the sound of it. It was very good for classic and jazz that i listen to.
Well the best amplifying he heard with stax sr 009 was transistor amp with tube preamp via stax transformer from peter rill, so i ordered it and wait for it (it takes a long time for Peter to build it). I hope that woo audio will be better then this, because it would mean for me many bucks spend on good pre and amplifier. Well, we will see.post #29677 of 316383/27/14 at 3:36pm

Are you using stock tubes? There are some excellent EL 34 on the market that will make it sing. I had it here with the upgraded tubes and it made a big difference. If you can find some NOS Mullard EL 34 and some RCA 12Au7 clear tops with soem bette 5AR4 over stock . The NOS Mullards are excellent as well.

If I bought a relatively low ohm headphone with good sensitivity and it had a lot of body with minimal amplification would you say that a wa7 (different source) would be a good pairing to get some tubeyness out of the headphone without making it too syrupy? It's a very well balanced headphone with a good transparent tone.post #29683 of 316383/28/14 at 1:35pm

Thanks. I already have the upgraditis. I've been into audio since I was a teenager (older brother's influence). I used to have Hafler DH-110/XL-280 that I DIYed and a pair of Vandersteen 2Ce speakers. I sold the speakers years ago, the amp/pre-amp are in storage (and for sale) and just recently got back into audio.
This whole thing started with a Headstreamer external sound card and my old Grado SR-80s. That was the first taste. Shortly thereafter came the MF M1HPA and Denon AH-D2000s and Schiit Bifrost. Then came the WA3+ and the beyer T90s. Ugh. Now I want a Sonnett.
This hobby really is a runaway train. The only good thing about it is the sound I get from my current rig would cost 10x as much if it was a full-sized set-up filling a room with sound. Besides, I like the fact the room is taken out of the equation as no room is acoustically perfect (my old 'steens used to face sliding glass doors).post #29684 of 316383/30/14 at 7:26am

What's a more moderately priced power cord than the $230.00 per meter 4N purity copper cable Woo Audio offers for their amplifiers? I've got a WA6 shipping this week and I'm looking to slow down the dollar leakage. Nobody told me this hobby was so costly. Maybe I should've gotten into show dogs.post #29685 of 316383/30/14 at 7:52am

Michael Appleton is looking forward to getting to know his players better after Oxford United arranged a last-minute training camp at Bisham Abbey.
This is the first summer that the U's have not gone away on a pre-season tour since 2008.
But Appleton, who took over as head coach less than a fortnight ago, was keen to get away and gel with the squad.
United found a vacancy at the national sports centre in Berkshire and will hold a camp between Monday and Thursday next week.
Appleton said: "I love having the opportunity to spend 24-7 with players.
"It's one thing trying to learn about a player when he comes into training every day, it's another to see what his interests are off the field, to see what he's about as a personality.
"You learn so much more about the individual rather than the player."
The trip means United have cancelled Tuesday's scheduled development squad fixture at Kettering.

Alienware's Steam Machine can be upgraded
Alienware has corrected reports from this week suggesting that their Steam Machine could not be upgraded.
GM of the gaming PC builders Frank Azor stated that upgradability has always been part of the company's philosophy and the Steam Machines will be upgradable, just nowhere near as easily as their other PC products.
"Enabling customers the opportunity to upgrade components has been a core tenet for Alienware since the company was founded," Azor explained, "and that remains true today. The Alienware Steam Machine, announced at CES, is designed to deliver a great gaming experience in the living room and we will enable customers to upgrade components."
He went on, "Considering we've purposefully designed the Alienware Steam Machine to be smaller than the latest generation consoles, upgrading the internal components will not be as easy as compared to other platforms, such as the Alienware X51, but we will not prevent a customer from upgrading."
Thanks Eurogamer.

hey if ur wondering im the guy without a newgrounds account i JUST got one.
yeah I agree with Inu27..
The animation aint that bad, but its pointless.. I had to watch it a second time to look at things a little more.. Like the thing that you can't even see on the screen but the very sliver of it, which I for one, think its Sonic.. And then that thing casts like meteor from Final Fantasy to kill him? IDK, if you make more, hopefully they make sense, but keep trying, but good news that you made it past the voting part, so I guess it didn't do too bad..
that took way too long
and I have no idea what it meant,

Depression, because it is routinely positioned as a "women's
disease", has been called the silent crisis, a sleeper issue that is at
last awakening. The 'tough guy' male attitude toward admitting an
emotional struggle has given this problem a low priority on the health
network. And, in research labs, the findings for anti-depressant drugs
are not promising.
However, campaigns to raise awareness of depression in men are growing.
State of Mind campaign, launched in Australia, specifically tackles
depression in men that are seen to be the 'tough guys' – the miners and
football players.
Researchers are concerned with the high rate of suicide among these
groups, including even firefighters and police officers, because the
tough guy persona inhibits their ability to talk about their emotions
and, thus, also to seek help.
This may lead to tragic results as in the suicide of actor Robin
Williams early this week. Williams had long suffered from depression.
If we look at our lives from a purely material standpoint, we may see
much that could justify depression and the 'male pride' that engenders
silence. But to do this would be to close our eyes to God's love for us
and the comfort and healing that a relationship with the Divine can
Interesting that the definition of strength includes not only what you
would expect -'emotional or mental qualities in dealing with difficult
events' – but also this: 'it takes strength of character to admit one
needs help.'
Does appealing for help - when having thoughts of sadness, anxiety or
lack of interest in life - seem like admitting a weakness? Can the pride
that inhibits be exchanged for the humility that helps?
The message in the Australian campaign is: 'it is not too weak to
speak.' It encourages talking to someone – to feel connected – because
when we feel low, we need to feel loved and supported.
Still, it may be that feeling loved and supported by friends, family and
colleague is not enough. Turning to a source of Love that is
all-powerful and does not judge us, might be the key.
Study researcher, Dan Cohen, of the University of Missouri writes that
'with increased spirituality people reduce their sense of self and feel a
greater sense of oneness and connectedness…. there is a significant
relationship between spirituality and health.' Even 'Iron Man' magazine
posted an article on research results of the benefits of prayer for men
struggling with depression.
The Bible offers us divine authority to challenge sadness and what
seems, at times, a dark valley of despair that comes from feeling
unworthy, scared, disconnected and alone.
In Scripture, the Psalmist David (who certainly faced challenges as he
went from shepherd boy to King) wrote: 'The Lord is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust…'
This sounds like a pretty reliable foundation for help.
Each person can nurture this loving relationship with the Divine. It can
certainly help the 'tough guy'; because inside of every person is a
heart - no matter how heavy - that this Love can uplift and enrich.

/ Pen y Fan conditions?
I was hoping todo some winter walking tomorrow but from rainfall radars it seems that it's been pretty dry there today
I was up there this afternoon. The freezing level was at about 650m and although the tops are rimmed up there was no snow (well, very light flurries). Quite disappointing as yesterday's Mountain Forecast stated possibility of significant accumulations.
Im up there tomor. Ill post some details when i get back
I wouldn't worry about that.
http://www.southwaleswinter.blogspot.co.uk/ New post up.
What gully was that?
Things were looking very lean this morn.
Hopefully a descent fall next week will improve things.
Just back from a brilliant day on Torpantu, low down was a bit thin but the main fall was in good shape, used snow chains to access the car park from talybont and wouldn't have been able to get up without them
We also had a blast on Torpantau. First pitch needed a bit more of a freeze. We came in from Talybont and parked at the bottom car park using a 4x4 and it was ok.
Would have bumped into you both there, my climbing partner and I were there too. We parked in the bottom carpark having approached from Talybont and put snow chains on for the last 3 miles as the road was just a sheet of ice.
Anybody know what the gullies are like at the minute?
Probably full of fresh snow. Best avoided!
Probably so. A man can hope though!
Climbing at Craig Cerrig-gleisiad and Craig y Fro on Wednesday: http://www.masterplan-photography.co.uk/2013/01/ice-climbing-craig-cerriggleisiad-craig-fro
Is Pen Y Fan, Cribyn etc still likely to be nice and white on Sunday. Wouldn't mind taking a trip for purely photographic reasons - as long as it looks pretty, I'll be happy!
Additionally, what's the road conditions like up to the Upper Neuadd?

Giffords' husband 'extremely hopeful' for recovery
Saturday 22 January 2011
Doctors prepared a US congresswoman who was shot in the head to leave behind the Arizona hospital where she dazzled them with her rapid recovery.
Her next stop will be a Houston rehab center, where she will face an even more arduous task: Getting life back to normal.
Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's husband said he's hoping she'll make a full recovery, calling her "a fighter like nobody else that I know."
Giffords is recovering from a bullet wound to the brain, but has been making progress nearly everyday.
A gunman shot Giffords and 18 other people Jan. 8 as she met with constituents outside a grocery store in Tucson. Six people died and the other wounded. All survivors have been released from hospitals except Giffords.
The doctors who will help her offered a more sober outlook.
"Not everyone always gets 100 percent restoration, but we help them to get to a new normal," said Carl Josehart, chief executive of the rehab hospital that will be the Arizona congresswoman's home for the next month or two.
Late Thursday, trauma surgeon, Dr. Peter Rhee, said staff at University Medical Center in Tucson helped Giffords stand and get into a wheelchair. They then took her to a deck at the hospital, where she breathed in the fresh air and felt the sun.
Earlier, doctors ticked off other markers of her continuing improvement: She scrolled through an iPad, picked out different colored objects and moved her lips. They are unsure whether she is mouthing words, nor do they know how much she is able to see.
Her husband, Houston-based astronaut Mark Kelly, believes she has tried to speak and can recognize those around her.
"I can just look in her eyes and tell," Kelly said at a final briefing at the Tucson hospital. "She is very aware of the situation."
Giffords is expected to be moved on Friday.
During rehabilitation she will have to relearn how to think and plan. It's unclear if she is able to speak. And while she is moving both arms and legs, it's uncertain how much strength she has on her right side.
The suspect in the attack, Jared Loughner, 22, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Tucson on Wednesday, accused of attempting to assassinate Giffords and trying to kill two of her aides.
It does not include two murder charges listed in an earlier criminal complaint for the deaths of Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman, 30, and US District Judge John Roll, 63.
Those are potential death penalty charges. Prosecutors said they require a more painstaking process. Additional charges are likely. Loughner is in federal custody. He is set for a preliminary hearing on Monday in Phoenix.
"The last 12 days have been extraordinarily difficult for myself, my family, but not only us," Kelly said. "I think it's been very difficult for the city of Tucson, southern Arizona and our country. I don't think we're going to ever fully understand the why and the how and the reason for what happened."
Though Giffords remains in serious condition, her recovery has amazed her family and impressed her doctors.
Dr. John Holcomb, retired Army colonel and a trauma surgeon at the Houston hospital, praised the care she received in Tucson and said Giffords would "move quickly toward a tailored and comprehensive rehab plan."
Over the weekend, doctors weaned her off the ventilator and replaced her breathing tube with a tracheotomy tube in her windpipe. They inserted a feeding tube to boost her calorie intake and repaired her right eye socket, which was damaged by the bullet.
Since being taken off sedation, Giffords has been alert and opening her eyes more often.
She also started rigorous physical therapy, dangling her legs over her bedside to exercise her muscles and sitting in a chair for periods at a time.
Still, the extent of her injuries and long-term prognosis won't be known for some time.
"When she's medically stable, there's really no reason to keep her there," where she could get the infections and other complications associated with long hospital stays, said Dr. Steve Williams, rehab chief at Boston Medical Center and the Boston University School of Medicine.
"Over the last five to 10 years, there has been a big push to getting patients rapidly to rehab," because research shows they recover faster and better the earlier therapy starts, he said.
"The rehab is going to be pretty intense for her, both cognitively and physically," because she'll need to recover frontal lobe functions, Thompson said. "She's going to have to relearn how to think, plan, organize."
A penetrating brain injury like a bullet wound leaves a specific path of damage. Giffords' wound path appears to be below the motor cortex, which controls movement, but may include an area controlling speech, Williams said.
He is not involved in Giffords' care and based his comments on diagrams and reports of her injury that have been made public.
"One of the questions is whether she'll be able to speak," Williams said. Giffords has a breathing tube now, and even if this impedes her speech, she might be able to mouth words.
"That would be a good indication that she at least is able to express herself," Williams said.
"The cognitive ability and the speech are the key things," he said. "We know that she's moving her limbs. The question is, how strong is she."
Remarkably, Giffords may not spend much time at TIRR. She will probably spend just five to eight weeks at the rehab center, then continue getting therapy as an outpatient, Williams said.
"Her early recovery is very promising," and bodes well for further improvement, he said.
