Miami Heat News: Heat To Call Up Center Hassan Whiteside
According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Miami Heat are closing in on calling up center Hassan Whiteside of the Iowa Energy from the D-League.
Hearing that the Miami Heat are lining up Hassan Whiteside for an @nbadleague callup after Whiteside's big-stats start with the @iowaenergy
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) November 23, 2014
Whiteside was a second round pick of the Sacramento Kings in 2010 and played 19 games for them over the span of two seasons. He has been sent up and down between the Energy and its parent team, the Memphis Grizzlies, who Whiteside has not played for yet in a regular season game.
In his only two games with the Energy this season, Whiteside is averaging 21.0 points, 15.5 rebounds, and 6.0 blocks. With the Heat's apparent lack of interior defense and shaky big men due to injuries, the former Kings' big man would be a valuable addition to Miami's front line.
Note: Justin Hamilton's contract doesn't become guaranteed until December 1, so if Whiteside does sign wit…

Chris Andersen Injury: Updates on Heat Forward's Ankle and Return
Miami Heat forward Chris Andersen suffered a sprained ankle against the Charlotte Hornets Sunday night and will miss the remainder of the game.
The Heat's official Twitter account passed along the news on the forward:
Andersen, 36, registered 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game prior to Sunday's matchup. If he is forced to miss any time, the Heat would be without a key reserve after already having key players out.
Tom Haberstroh of ESPN.com and Christy Chirinos of the Sun Sentinel passed along their thoughts:
Dwyane Wade and Norris Cole missed the game with injuries of their own, via Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. Not having Andersen on the court would further deplete the already thin lineup against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

Charlotte Hornets vs. Miami Heat: Live Score, Highlights and Reaction
The Charlotte Hornets (4-9) will look to avoid a fifth straight loss when they square off against the Miami Heat (7-6) Sunday night.
Owners of the league's sixth-least efficient offense, according to Basketball-Reference.com, Charlotte has struggled to put the ball in the basket, shooting 43.4 percent from the field (No. 25 overall) and 34.5 percent from three (No. 19 overall).
The Hornets haven't been able to get to the line, either, recording a free-throw rate of just .263 (No. 24 overall), according to Basketball-Reference.
Although Lance Stephenson has been a rebounding maven, grabbing a team-best 8.8 boards per game, he's averaging a meager 9.8 points on 37 percent shooting from the field.
Miami, on the other hand, has been a touch more consistent, recording the NBA's 12th-best offensive rating (108.0) to date, per Basketball-Reference. The Heat have struggled on the defensive end, though, surrendering 107.3 points per 100 possessions, good for No. 21 overall.
However, Miami may be without the services of Dwyane Wade for the sixth straight game after he missed Saturday's contest with a left hamstring strain.
You can catch all the action at 6 p.m. ET on Sun Sports (Miami), Sports South (Charlotte) or NBA TV (National).

Miami Heat: What We Know About the Post-LeBron James Era So Far
After racing out to a 3-0 start, the Miami Heat's transition into the post-LeBron James era seemed to be going quite smoothly. With a reinvigorated Dwyane Wade and highly efficient Chris Bosh leading the team, the Heat appeared more than capable of competing for their fifth consecutive Eastern Conference title.
But following Thursday night's 110-93 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, it has become clear that the 6-6 Heat have yet to find their identity. With no playmaker on the roster close to the caliber of LeBron, Miami is struggling to create offense. After averaging a respectable 102.2 points per game with LeBron at the helm last year, the Heat currently rank 21st in the league with 97.1 points per game.
Having grown accustomed to being facilitators in the LeBron-led offense of the past four seasons, it will take some time for Bosh and Wade to readjust to being the focal points of the offense.
After looking spry and rejuvenated in the first eight games of the season, Wade's injury-riddled ways quickly resurfaced when he strained his left hamstring against the Indiana Pacers. While he sat out the last four games, the Heat limped to a 1-3 record and have sorely missed Wade's 19.8 points and team-leading 6.4 assists per game.
Bosh, the team's scoring leader, raced out to 25.7 points per game on 47.9 percent shooting through the first three games and seemed to be worth every penny of his max contract. But since the initial three-game win streak, Bosh's average has dropped to 20.6 points per game while shooting a career-worst 42.6 percent from the field.
Despite the early struggles of the Heat's "Big Two," there is still plenty for Miami to be excited about.
Norris Cole, the fourth-year point guard who has backed up Mario Chalmers the past three years, is a new member to the starting lineup. While Cole continues to struggle shooting at an efficient clip (41.7 percent), his energy and defensive pressure have been welcome additions to the starting unit. Equally important, Chalmers has thrived as a role player, averaging career highs in points (13.4) and field-goal percentage (45.9).
Losing the best player in the world to free agency creates an impossible void to fill, but free-agent acquisition Luol Deng has played as well as Miami could have hoped for. Known as one of the most consistent veterans in the league, Deng plays lockdown defense on the opponents' best wing every night and is averaging 14.2 points on 48.4 percent shooting.
Free agent Shawne Williams has been a big surprise, averaging career highs in points (11.0), minutes (28.5), rebounds (5.1) and field-goal percentage (49.4). And most importantly, Williams has been able to stretch the floor for an Erik Spoelstra offense that relies heavily on spacing. Shooting 50.9 percent from the three-point line, Williams needs to continue to hit shots for the Heat to be successful.
With Shabazz Napier slowly gaining his footing and veterans Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts settling into Spoelstra's system, the Heat have a higher ceiling than most people realize. Combine that with playing in the Eastern Conference, where sub-.500 basketball is good enough to make the playoffs, and Miami should have no problem getting in.
However, if the Heat actually want to make a deep playoff run, significant adjustments need to be made.
Currently ranked last in rebounding with 36.8 per game, the Heat must improve at boxing out to prevent second-chance opportunities. Even though the Heat were also ranked last in rebounding the past two seasons, Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald (subscription required) points out that "James' long list of skills allowed the Heat to mask a lot of its weaknesses."
The low rebounding totals are clearly a consequence of Spoelstra's frequent small-ball lineups. But even with a height disadvantage, the Heat can't continue to allow their opponents to rebound 24.7 percent of their own misses.
"I don't think we're as talented as years past, and we're going to have to make up for it in toughness," Bosh said in September, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Rebounding, a statistic that's purely effort-based, will need to become an area of strength for the Heat to be successful.
Now playing without LeBron, the lack of a go-to playmaker or scorer places an even greater importance on ball movement. Ranked 12th in the league with 21.8 assists per game, the Heat need to space the floor, drive to the basket and kick the ball out to shooters. Lacking a dominant low-post threat, the Heat will need to rely on excellent perimeter shooting and San Antonio Spurs-like ball movement.
With a healthy Wade, an efficient Bosh, improved rebounding and consistent play from the supporting cast, there's no reason to think that the LeBron-less Heat can't finish in the top four of the Eastern Conference. A fifth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals seems unlikely. But with the Cleveland Cavaliers struggling and the Chicago Bulls being without Derrick Rose, anything is possible.

Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic: Live Score, Highlights and Reaction
After hanging in for 47 minutes, the Orlando Magic couldn't withstand Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers late. They fell to the Miami Heat at home, 99-92.
Bosh was feeling it all night, but reached another gear late in the fourth quarter. He finished 32 points on 13-of-20 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds, while Mario Chalmers shot 10-of-16 and finished with 24 and eight assists.
Three-point shooting is what stood out for the Heat, going 12-of-26 from beyond the arc, compared to Orlando's putrid 3-of-16 clip.
Nikola Vucevic posted his career-high in points tonight, going up against Shawne Williams mostly, scoring 33 and hauling down 17 rebounds. He and Elfrid Payton stood out as difference-makers, the latter coming away with five steals in 22 minutes.
Now 7-6, Miami inches closer to the division-leading Washington Wizards. Its next matchup comes Sunday at 6 p.m. ET against the Charlotte Hornets. The Magic fall to 6-9, and take on the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers Monday at Quicken Loans Arena.

Lethargic Cavaliers Face Steeper Struggles Than LeBron James' Heat in 2010-11
WASHINGTON D.C. — The past is prelude, and that can sometimes serve as comfort. It's given the Cleveland Cavaliers a cushion. It's been the primary reason that much of the national media, which mauled the Miami Heat for their sluggish start to the 2010-11 season, have been preaching patience as this latest so-called superteam stumbles out of the starting gate.
That, however, can become a crutch, an assumption that everything will be all right, merely because in a somewhat similar circumstance, it has been once before. That assumption is dangerous, since it may also be wrong.
LeBron James doesn't believe that any outcomes are assumed, certainly not without the work, and yet even he has commonly drawn upon comparisons to the adversity he experienced four years earlier. He did so again Friday morning, when asked how he balances perspective about the process with his desire for more immediate success.
"It's my biggest test," he said. "My patience isn't… I have a low tolerance for things of this nature. So it's something I'm working on as well. Which I knew from the beginning that was going to be my biggest test, to see how much patience I got with the process. What helps me out is I've been through it before. But at the same, I'm a winner, and I want to win, and I want to win now. It's not tomorrow, it's not down the line, I want to win now. So it's a fine line for me. But I understand what we're enduring right now."
Later, in a 91-78 loss to the currently clearly superior Washington Wizards, a national television audience got a better sense of exactly what that is, and it's not exactly, what James has gone through before. The Cavaliers are enduring the effects of a lack of cohesion, and an absence of confidence in each other. And, at this point, it's officially more concerning than anything that long-ago Heat team went through.
For starters, that team actually started 7-4, not 5-6 as the Cavaliers have, even though everyone only remembers that Miami slipped to 9-8 on a deflating night in Dallas. That Miami team had three blowout victories in its first five games. This Cavaliers squad has had just one, in its eighth contest, against Atlanta. That Miami team didn't lose for a third time by double digits until its 41st outing, on Jan. 13, even though it was without two of its top five projected players, Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem, for most of that time. This Cavaliers squad, which has lost one rotation guy (Matthew Dellavedova) has already lost by 19, 13 and nine, with only a Dion Waiters garbage-time jumper saving it from a double-digit defeat against Denver.
That Miami team didn't look as lethargic, and its players didn't look like they loathed each other, as this team and these players appear to at times. Things were messy, for sure, especially as the three established stars, adjusting to redefined roles, tripped over one another, but that never seemed to be from a lack of earnest effort.
Which brings us to Friday.
When these Cavaliers brought all their worst basketball behavior.
"Obviously, right now, we're struggling, and we're a little bit in the dark," coach David Blatt said. "And we got to find our way out."
Blatt spoke of how the defense, which has been an issue, was good enough—even though John Wall (28 points, six rebounds, seven assists) repeatedly torched Kyrie Irving—but how the offense, which had produced point totals of 110, 118, 122 and 127 during a recent four-game winning streak, had gone awry. He referred to "irresponsible play with the ball," including several fast-break situations where the Cavaliers couldn't even get a shot ("not high-level basketball"). He bemoaned the tendency for the ball and bodies to stop moving after the denial of the first offensive action.
"That's not what we've been doing," Blatt said. "We've got to get back to doing what we were doing."
Certainly, they won't win anything significant by doing many of the things they did Friday—and yet, some of the errors are expected by now.
Such as Dion Waiters, part of a bench that shot a combined 3-for-16, taking three dribbles and a stepback 20-footer without ever looking at James to his right. Such as Waiters going 1-on-4 on one break, and later getting rejected by Kevin Seraphin, rather than noticing that Irving or Marion were running with him.
Such as Shawn Marion making a lazy pass, and Irving making an equally lazy run to the ball, which led to a Wall steal and dunk. Such as Kevin Love getting only eight shots, so ignored at times that he sometimes forced the action, even in transition opportunities, once wildly hooking one shot off the backboard and later plowing into Bradley Beal.
Such as Irving jamming up the half-court offense by dribbling and dribbling and dribbling some more, never getting the ball to anyone else before jacking up a contested corner jumper.
Such as James shooting under 50 percent for the eighth time in 11 games this season.
He was more efficient when he shot dirty and disappointed looks. He wasn't the only one to sigh and slump his shoulders—Love looked absolutely exasperated at times, especially on a second-quarter play when he was calling for the correct running of a play, and then the ball, only to watch Tristan Thompson bulldoze the lane for an offensive foul.
Still, the Cavaliers will take their cues from James, who has been more careful with his body language in recent years, taking that as one of the primary lessons from veteran mentors, most notably Ray Allen. But James couldn't hide it Friday. He strolled back on one possession. After another transition miss, he hardly budged at all. He took a standstill three. In those moments, he didn't appear to be soothed much by memories of how everything worked itself out in Miami. His admitted low tolerance for "things of this nature" seemed to be trumping his understanding of the need for patience with the process.
Blatt sat him for the final 1:24, with a game against red-hot Toronto on tap for Saturday in Cleveland. But he only cooled slightly by the time he met with the media. He said he could not explain the team's lack of energy. He couldn't think of a single lineup that had shown cohesiveness. He said they all needed to work on their body language, starting with himself.
"Right now, I'm frustrated," James said. "Tomorrow I'll be OK. It's part of the competitive nature of who I am. It's going to be a challenge, I knew that. I'm frustrated obviously right now, but tomorrow's a new day. … We have some work to do."
Then he spent the next 10 minutes facing his locker, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes pressing a towel to it, sometimes extending his arms across the top shelf, all while rarely looking up.
Maybe things will look up soon.
But he will need to look for different answers than he found in Miami.
This is a decidedly different situation.
In Miami, he had a coach who had NBA experience—two playoff seasons as the head man—with the organization's full commitment. Pat Riley's unconditional support gave that coach an opportunity the space to find his footing, even in the face of intense media pressure. And a 9-8 start turned into a 21-1 stretch.
Will Blatt, who acknowledged that some of his European teams have started slow, get the backing he needs to make his way? And to make his team believe in him?
In Miami, James had proven championship partners, starting with Dwyane Wade, to help him chart the course, players who ultimately were more concerned with collective goals, even if those ambitions came at an individual cost.
Does he have those here? Can Irving be one? Or Love another? Or is that too much to expect of two guys who, in nine combined seasons, have never made the playoffs? Can they, and their teammates, table all their losing habits?
In Miami, James had teammates who made it a mission to get him the ball in the proper spots, so he could lift his percentages, and by extension, the group as well.
Will he start getting those quality shots, consistently, here?
"Guys got to be willing to pass the ball ahead, to make good cuts, to set good screens, to move hard to their spots, to read overplays and use press release, and cut and backcut again, and keep moving," Blatt said. "I told you, a week, 10 days ago, we were scoring the heck out of the ball. It's not a different group."
No, it's not different from the Cleveland group that recently won four straight.
But it's different than those Miami teams.
All of them. Even the first one. Even 2010-11. Even 9-8. Some of the frustration may be the same, but the solutions won't be. There won't truly be comfort until James finds a few of those.

Miami Heat Must Find Identity Outside Dwyane Wade
In order to move on from LeBron James' departure, the Miami Heat need an identity. Less than 15 games into a season simultaneously teeming with promise and problems, they've found one. A familiar one.
The wrong one.
Dwyane Wade has, once again, become the Heat's performance lifeline. Long the face of the franchise, James relegated him to sidekick duty for four years. In his absence, Wade's face would still be there, but it would be Chris Bosh carrying Miami into a delicate era, reprising the role he played in Toronto as his team's primary barometer.
But that hasn't happened to start 2014-15. These Heat are instead turning back the clock and not in a good way. It's 2009-10 all over again. Their identity begins and ends with Wade. And just as that wasn't enough then, it isn't enough now.
Wade's Presence Is Being Felt…
Statistically speaking, it is enough—when Wade is on the floor.
The Heat are scoring at a rate of 110.6 points per 100 possessions with Wade in the game, the equivalent of the league's second-best offense, according to NBA.com (subscription required). They're hitting a higher percentage of their shots overall (48.2 percent) and even their three-pointers (38.3 percent). Both marks would rank among the Association's six best.
Bosh has played particularly well alongside Wade. His offensive efficiency climbs by nearly 10 points per 100 possessions beside him, and his shooting percentages are up across the board, per NBA.com.
And then there's the matter of Wade himself. He's averaging 19.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game on 50.8 percent shooting. The 33-year-old is also posting the team's highest player efficiency rating (23.9), and his impact on the offensive end cannot be overstated.
Both the ball and his teammates move better with him running the show. The Heat lack a true and established point guard, but Wade has served his squad well as the top playmaker.
Around 65.7 percent of their buckets come off assists when he's in the game, which would rank second among all teams, according to NBA.com. Wade himself is assisting on 41.4 percent of his teammates' baskets when on the floor, which would not only be a career high but ranks fifth among qualified players, behind only John Wall (44.5), Chris Paul (47.2), Rajon Rondo (48) and the injured Ricky Rubio (54.2).
Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports offered even more praise for Wade's offensive game earlier this month:
The impact of Wade's facilitating extends beyond just the impressive number of dimes he's dropping, too. Per SportVU, Wade's third in the league in "free throw assists," or passes leading to a trip to the line where the shooter made at least one freebie (1.3 per game) and 19th in secondary, or "hockey," assists (1.4 per game).
It's great that Wade's happy to have the ball in his hands, but we're betting Spoelstra's more excited by how his increased willingness to get it out of them has bolstered Miami's attack.
It would seem that the Heat, then, are just fine leaning on Wade more than anyone else.
And they are.
When he's actually playing.
Which he hasn't been.
So they haven't been fine.
…But His Absence is Being Felt More
Frequent rest and relaxation is a reality when it comes to Wade's physical maintenance. He's never gone an entire season without missing at least five games, and he sat out an average of 16 per season over the last four years.
Such upkeep became an obstacle even with James in the lineup. Now that he's gone, it's a biting burden that is both unavoidable and irreversibly harmful. Playing him 70-plus games isn't an option; Wade is going to miss time. When he does, it's going to hurt.
It just shouldn't be this damaging.
"When you don't have that guy on the court, it's a huge void that you have to fill," Bosh said, per the Sun Sentinel's Shandel Richardson. "I think it's both a good and a bad thing. We want him out there, but at the same time our rookies are gaining a ton of experience and our new guys are gaining a ton of experience. It's forcing the chemistry to happen a lot sooner."
We'll have to take Bosh's word for it at the moment, because the numbers don't support his claims.
Miami is 1-3 in the four games Wade has missed to date. Two of those losses have come against supposedly inferior teams in the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks, and the average margin of defeat through these losses is 11.7 points.
While the Heat's defense has allowed fewer points per 100 possessions without Wade on the floor, it's been substantially worse on the offensive end, per NBA.com.
When he's on the bench, they're running the equivalent of a bottom-10 offense that would rank 19th in field-goal percentage (44.7). They're also coughing the ball up 17.7 percent of the time without him, which would make them the fourth-most turnover-prone team in the league.
That shouldn't happen.
Improving without Wade will never be an option, to be sure. There will always be some kind of adverse statistical drop-off on the offensive end. That the Heat were a better point-piling contingent without him last year, per NBA.com, only validates' James' profound ability to carry a team on his own. Wade's absences become a bigger problem without him.
But that's where Bosh is supposed to come in. He's being paid like the franchise cornerstone to give Miami that identity outside Wade and James. He's just not playing up to snuff.
Through his first 12 games, Bosh is averaging 20.6 points on a career-worst 42.6 percent shooting. Both the Heat's offense and defense are also performing better without him on the floor, according to NBA.com, and he's still predominantly living on the perimeter; more than 71 percent of his field-goal attempts are coming outside eight feet, where he's shooting just 40 percent.
This is not the Bosh whom Miami bargained for over the summer. He's facing more defensive pressure overall, but 57 percent of his shots have been open or wide-open looks. That, at the very least, is comparable to last year, when 60 percent of his shots were similarly classified. His shooting efficiency shouldn't be hemorrhaging like it is now.
Moreover, this isn't something the Heat can afford to have happen long term, as Bleacher Report's Tom Sunnergren explains:
Outside of Bosh, Miami's superstar appeal is flawless. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra has already proven that, with sufficient talent, he can craft a system on both sides of the floor that allows his players to thrive. The city of Miami has demonstrated that it's an attractive destination for the young and super-rich. Pat Riley can build a fine supporting cast.
The remaining puzzle piece is that the player on Miami's roster making superstar money starts playing like it. When he re-signed with the Heat this summer, Bosh was billed as a bridge between one era of Heat champs and the next. Things can change fast, but at the moment, the center appears to be a liability.
Free agency will be a huge factor as the Heat move forward. Their financial commitments are flexible and that, along with an expected cap eruption in 2016, gives them the means to add prime-time players over the next few summers.
To really enter that conversation, though, the Heat need more than cash and Wade. To really compete for something more than a lottery finish this year, they need to be more than him.
Other players aside from Bosh have to step up in his absence and return. Luol Deng, Mario Chalmers and Shawne Williams—each of whom is averaging in double figures while shooting better than 45 percent from the floor—need to augment their production and aggression when he's on the bench.
Rookie Shabazz Napier must morph into an offensive bellwether who can effectively direct the offense when Wade cannot. Josh McRoberts needs to remain healthy and shoot better than 16.7 percent from deep.
Something, anything, different needs to happen.
An Identity Search Run Afield
There is no surviving an 82-game season the way these Heat are playing now. Their current model puts them at the mercy of Wade's health, paving the way for more losses like those to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night, when they allowed 110 points, let up 13 three-pointers and dished out just 11 assists on 30 baskets.
"Not a whole lot to say," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after his team fell to Los Angeles, via the Miami Herald's Joseph Goodman. "We got blitzed."
Blitzed, yes.
Blindsided, no.
Nothing the Heat face now is shocking. They knew the stakes when James left, and now the satisfaction of admirably retooling the roster following his exit has subsided. It's since been replaced by the uneasiness of knowing that Wade's abilities have given them an identity his availability cannot sustain—which, really, is the same as having no identity at all.

The Elusive #1 Goalie In Toronto
by Paul on 01/08/14 at 07:08 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Curtis Rush of the Toronto Star,
... it was only recently that the Leafs finally made Bernier the de facto No. 1, giving him six straight starts.
That experiment appears to have blown up in their faces.
All bets are now off after two dreadful performances in which Bernier allowed a toal of nine goals in a 7-1 collapse against the New York Rangers and a 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders.
The tension bubbled up in Bernier's post-game response Tuesday when he was asked if he thought he would be pulled after giving up a few soft goals against the Islanders.
In that moment, he glared at the reporter. "Why would I be pulled?" he asked. When he got an answer he didn't like, he coldly stared down other reporters lest they dare to continue the line of questioning. The area around his locker went quiet.
The incident also appeared to gnaw at Carlyle after practice on Wednesday when he laughed off a reporter who wanted to know what he thought of Bernier's reaction.
"I don't react to what reporters have (to say)," he said. "Imagine if I reacted to everything you said about me."

South Africa is an 'angry nation' on the brink of 'something very dangerous', warns Nelson Mandela's wife
- Graca Machel said South Africa is a society 'bleeding and breathing pain'
- Warned against 'deeper trouble from the past that has not been addressed'
- Nelson Mandela's wife spoke at memorial of taxi driver killed by police
The wife of former president Nelson Mandela has warned that South Africa has become an 'angry nation', as it is refusing to deal with its apartheid past.
Human rights activist Graca Machel, 67, said the nation is on the brink of 'something very dangerous' which it may not be able to stop.
The Mozambican third wife of ANC icon Mandela was speaking at the memorial service of a taxi driver who died in police custody after officers tied his hands to the back of their van and dragged him to this death.
Warning: Graca Machel, pictured with her husband, former president Nelson Mandela, said South Africa is 'bleeding and breathing pain'
Taxi driver Mido Macia is alleged to have argued a traffic violation after which police handcuffed the 27-year-old to their vehicle in front of a horrified crowd.
He was found dead two hours later in a police cell in the Daveyton township of Johannesburg, last Tuesday.
At the memorial Mrs Machel said South Africa's anger came from 'unaddressed issues' referring to the nation's history of apartheid, The Telegraph reports.
Mrs Machel, said a reluctance to deal with the nation's past has resulted in an 'increasing institutionalisation of violence and a police force which is 'actively aggressive' towards the public.
'South Africa is an angry nation,' she said. 'We are on the precipice of something very dangerous with the potential of not being able to stop the fall.'
Painful history: Graca Machel, with Nelson Mandela in 2010, said the situation is to be blamed on a reluctance to deal with lingering issues from the nations apartheid past
Torture: Mrs Machel spoke at the memorial of taxi driver Mido Macia, who was found dead in a police cell in a Johannesburg township after he was handcuffed to a police van and dragged behind it
She said: 'The level of anger and aggression is rising. This is an expression of deeper trouble from the past that has not been addressed.
'We have to be more cautious about how we deal with a society that is bleeding and breathing pain.'
She spoke out as South Africa's justice system has grown increasingly synonymous with police brutality.
In 2011 man was beaten to death by police during a peaceful protest in the Free State and last year, police opened fire on workers during a miners strike, killing 34 people.
Another recent case highlighting the nation's culture of violence and high number of private gun owners is that of fallen Paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius's fatal
shooting of his partner Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius, who is currently released on
bail, argues that he accidentally shot his model girlfriend believing
her to be a burglar, using one of several firearms he kept at his mansion.
Police brutality: Residents protest after the death of taxi driver Mido Macia in Daveyton, near Johannesburg, South Africa last week
Mrs Machela's comments are likely to rattle ruling party ANC, which has been at the helm of the nation since the abolition of apartheid.
Both Mrs Machela and her husband Nelson Mandela have refrained from commenting on the running of South Africa since he left his position as president 14 years ago.
President Zuma, speaking to traditional leaders in parliament on Thursday, said that despite the events of recent weeks, it was wrong to paint his country as an "inherently violent place to live in'.
'South Africa is not (a) violent country. It is certain people in our country who are violent. By and large we are not, we are peace-loving people.'
Meanwhile South Africa's Independent Police Investigative Directorate reported 232 deaths in police custody and another 488 deaths as a result of police action from early 2011 to early 2012, a ten per cent drop over the previous year.

Turkey's PM Erdoğan to run for president: AKP
July 1, 2014 - 13:33 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has confirmed expectations, announcing Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as its candidate for the upcoming August presidential elections at a lavish presentation event Tuesday, July 1, with the attendance of nearly 4,000 party members, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
All former and current lawmakers, mayors, central executive board members, congress delegates and provincial heads were present at the event amid huge fanfare, including a 3-D visual projection.
Erdoğan's name was announced by AKP Deputy Head Mehmet Ali Şahin, who stressed that the decision had been taken after long consultations, and that all AKP deputies backed the candidacy of the current Prime Minister.
The announcement comes just two days after President Abdullah Gül confirmed that he would not seek a second term, lifting some of the remaining uncertainty about his possible candidacy. AKP officials' declarations signaling Erdoğan's willingness to run for the presidential office was capped on June 28 with a statement by Deputy Prime Minister Beşir Atalay, who said the prime minister was "the most appropriate candidate."
The two main opposition parties in Parliament, the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), agreed to nominate Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, a former head of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), as a joint candidate in a rather unexpected move.
People's Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş also announced his candidacy June 30, becoming the second contender in the presidential race.

ANCHORAGE — Scientists counting marine mammals off Alaska's Arctic Ocean coast spotted two large groups of killer whales last month, but orca experts are not ready to say the species has increased its numbers in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas.
An aerial survey crew Aug. 20 spotted 13 killer whales 6.2 miles northeast of Barrow, America's northernmost community. The flight was part of a bowhead whale survey sponsored by the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and other federal agencies.
ANCHORAGE — Royal Dutch Shell on Monday was moving its drill ship off a prospect in the Chukchi Sea, a day after drilling began 70 miles off the Alaska coast because sea ice was moving toward the vessel.
Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith tells The Associated Press that drilling was stopped for safety reasons.
ANCHORAGE — More than four years after Royal Dutch Shell paid $2.8 billion to the federal government for petroleum leases in the Chukchi Sea, a company vessel on Sunday morning sent a drill bit into the ocean floor, beginning preliminary work on an exploratory well 70 miles off the northwest coast of Alaska.
Drilling began at 4:30 a.m., said Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith. Shell Alaska vice president Pete Slaiby called it historic.
ANCHORAGE — You thought Barack and Mitt were fierce presidential candidates? Try Ahpun the polar bear and Denali the wolf.
The Alaska Zoo, in what it acknowledges is shameless promotion and fundraising ploy, is conducting an election between Ahpun (ah-POON') and Denali. The winner will claim zoo presidency, according to development director Eileen Floyd, who introduced the candidates Wednesday.
The election is about who will best represent the Alaska Zoo for the next four years, she said.

The Alaska Zoo, in what it acknowledges is shameless promotion and fundraising ploy, is conducting an election between Ahpun the polar bear and Denali the gray wolf. The winner will claim zoo presidency, according to development director Eileen Floyd, who introduced the candidates Wednesday.
ANCHORAGE — Royal Dutch Shell PLC has been given a permit to begin preparation work at exploratory drilling sites in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast while it awaits certification for its oil spill response barge, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Thursday.
"We are allowing certain limited preparatory activities that we know can be done in a safe manner," he said in a teleconference with reporters.
ANCHORAGE — An abandoned mercury mine presents a threat to Alaska Native villagers that has not been adequately addressed by the federal Bureau of Land Management, according to Alaska Attorney General Michael Geraghty. He's asking the Environmental Protection Agency to intervene.
BLM officials on Friday said they're following federal environmental law for the cleanup of the Red Devil Mine 255 miles west of Anchorage.
ANCHORAGE— Alaskans hoping to find markets for natural gas may one day find buyers in Hawaii, but neither state is ready for deals to be signed.
Industry and government experts speaking Thursday at a panel discussion organized by U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, said a steady supply of Alaska natural gas is not ready to move and Hawaii is not ready to receive it.
ANCHORAGE — A California company will fly its Zepplin airship up Alaska's Inside Passage and all the way to Anchorage next year if it can line up sponsors. Lighter-than-air aircraft advocates say such vessels may one day be a common sight, delivering fuel or construction material to remote Alaska villages or food to hungry people on another continent.
ANCHORAGE — Oil companies operating in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast will have a negligible effect on polar bears and walrus, according to a federal Appeals Court ruling Tuesday that backed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rules on harassment of the animals.
A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said the agency correctly issued rules that provide legal protection to oil companies if small numbers of polar bears or Pacific walruses are incidentally harmed.

Iran and China who between them have won the gold medal at the last six FIBA Asia U18 Championships along with Japan came up with complete, consuming and comprehensive performances that fetched them convincing win on Day Two of the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship on Wednesday.
India shrugged off their initial slumber just in time and went on to post a 73-64 win over Malaysia for their first win in Group A Prelim Round of the competition keeping their hopes of advancing to the further stages at the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship on Wednesday.
Batang Gilas Philippines took the entire first quarter of their Group B game against Jordan at the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship on Wednesday, but once they did there was a lot to cheer for the motley group of supporters who had assembled at the Gharafa Stadium 'bunking' work as the 2014 SEABA U18 champions raced away to a 85-60 win.
Going into their Group A Prleim Round lung-opener against India at the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship, hosts Qatar had their share of woes of worries. Two of their players are yet to clear the Eligibility and two more are yet to rejoin the team from their vacation. Therefore coach Brian Lester's wide grin at the end of the 86-73 win on Tuesday certainly looked more than well justified.
Hamstrung by the absence of registered coaches, Iraq and Kuwait had a rather disappointing start to their campaign in the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship on Tuesday handing over first the tactical edge and eventually the game itself to Japan and Kazakhstan respectively.
Twice defending champions China and Korea who have won 13 gold medals in the history of FIBA Asia U18 Championship including playing the finals of the last two editions began their quest at the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship on Tuesday with consummate wins that spoke for the preparations of the two giants.
The FIBA Asia U18 Championship has over the period of years served its purpose well – that of unearthing the "stars of tomorrow". Another edition is set to tip off – the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship – and the expectations are no less from the 14 teams assembled for the top honors.
It may be a completely exaggerated statement to call any player in fray at the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship to be played in Doha (Qatar) from Aug 19-28 a "star", but then there is no way else you can describe China spearhead Zhou Qi.
Reigning FIBA Asia U16 Championship winners China beat France 87-79 on Saturday in the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship thus retaining the No 7 ranking they had achieved in the first two editions in 2010 at Hamburg (Germany) and 2012 at Kaunas (Lithuania).
Reigning FIBA Asia U16 Championship winners China went down 81-92 to Canada in the 5-8 Classification in the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship on Friday, but kept themselves in the reckoning to match their highest ever ranking in the event's history.

Darnell Mayberry: OKC Thunder 'let up' in loss to Clippers
The Oklahoman's Oklahoma City Thunder beat writer Darnell Mayberry answered questions from readers in today's Power Lunch chat. Read the entire chat recap here. Participate in our Power Lunch chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. at NewsOK.com/sports
On Oklahoma City's loss to the L.A. Clippers Saturday: The Thunder let up. When the third quarter started, the Clippers came out with fire and the Thunder came out thinking L.A. was going to give up. Next thing you know it was a ballgame. And the Clippers grew confident. On the chances Nate Robinson will play more in the final few games: I doubt it. Unless it's a blowout. Brooks seems set with his rotation. On the tougher first round opponent for the Thunder -- Portland or Denver: I've been saying Portland. The Blazers have more talented stars. But Denver is loaded with more depth. They both would be extremely tough outs. And winning at either of their places is darn near impossible. On a potential playoff matchup between Kendrick Perkins and Denver's Nene: It's going to be a good chess match. Nene can play physical in the post, which Perk obviously has the strength and skills to counter. But Nene's footwork is incredible. I'm not sure if Perk can keep up when it comes to that. We'll see. It'll be interesting. Chat Recap: Darnell Mayberry

16 May 2012
Professor Susan Baker will be discussing how to best to develop a new economic model for a planet under pressure, at a major conference in Cardiff in the run up to the UN Rio de Janeiro 2012 summit. She will speak about the need for a fundamental critique of traditional, trickle-down economic growth theory and its policy imperatives, including the operation of perverse incentives.
Susan said, "Our common future requires an economic model that maintains safe operating limits that do not breach planetary boundaries. The agenda for Rio+20 requires that we accept an economy of limits, alongside new measure of progress that reflect well-being, including over spatial and temporal scales.Overcoming inequalities is a key measure of progress here as is moving beyond zero sum games that prevent inclusion of the well being of society and of the environment in economic policy. Such policy developments need to go hand in hand with reorganisation and restructuring of governance mechanisms. Structural reform of global governance is also needed to bring about the societal changes at the levels required."Chaired by Peter Davies, Commissioner for Sustainable Futures and Member of the Sustainable Places Research Institute board, the conference will pose the question, what should be Wales' contribution to global platforms such as Rio+20? It will examine the impact the forthcoming Welsh Government sustainable development legislation will have on delivering the UN Rio de Janeiro June 2012 summit twin goals to: Promote the green economy to eradicate poverty, and put in place institutional frameworks for delivering sustainable development. Both themes underpin the Welsh Government's efforts in making sustainable development the central organising principle in its policy development and delivery.

302: 1957 Buick Roadmaster Convertible Coupe
Chassis #: 7D4021740
Model 76C. 300 bhp, 364 cu. in. V-8 engine, single four-barrel carburetor, "Twin-Turbine" Dynaflow automatic transmission, independent front suspension with A-arms and coil springs, semi-floating rear axle with coil springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 127.5"
- Nut-and-bolt, body-off restoration
- Highly equipped and show quality
The Roadmaster was completely redesigned for 1954 and shared its new C-Body platform with the Super line. Updated for 1957 with a new body and a rakishly lower roofline, the Series 70 Roadmaster line was available in two- and four-door hardtop and convertible models, gaining nearly 10 inches in overall length. Buick's now-iconic sweepspear side accents, front-fender "ventiports," "Dagmar" bumpers and fully-radiused rear fenders reflected the stylistic legacy of Harley Earl. On two-door Roadmasters, a distinctive trio of bright chevrons enhanced the sweepspears as well, just ahead of the rear fender-wells.
The Roadmaster's interior appointments included a padded dashboard, a wide variety of premium upholstery choices and a distinctive bright metallic overall dash motif, further reinforcing the Roadmaster's decidedly upscale status. Of particular note, the interior of the Model 76C Convertible Coupe was even more luxuriously trimmed than its stable-mates in rich leather upholstery.
The Roadmaster was a strong performer and benefited from Buick's growing involvement in NASCAR competition. The 322-cubic inch "Nailhead" V-8 engine, introduced in 1953, evolved into a 364-cubic inch, 300-bhp powerhouse by 1957. This power unit was shared with the Century line and featured a 10.0:1 compression ratio, topped with either a Carter or a Rochester four-barrel carburetor. The Roadmaster's standard Dynaflow automatic transmission combined strong acceleration capabilities with good fuel economy.
Just 4,364 Roadmaster convertibles were built for 1957, priced from $4,066 when new. This beautiful, rarely driven example is a showpiece of the current owner's private collection and has benefited from a nut-and-bolt, body-off restoration and proper care. It is handsomely finished in two-tone black and red. The brightwork is excellent, and the car has a black Everflex top with a red top boot, a red leather interior and 40-spoke chrome wire wheels wrapped in whitewall tires.
The Roadmaster is well equipped for comfortable cruising with power brakes, power steering, power windows, Wonder Bar pushbutton AM radio and power antenna, a heater/defroster and a clock. The engine bay is beautifully finished and highly detailed with correct finishes and components, including the glass windshield-washer bottle and reproduction Delco battery, reflecting the rest of the Roadmaster's high quality and impressive level of presentation. This 1957 Buick Roadmaster convertible truly epitomizes 1950s American motoring.

Hey Gas prices Are Getting Kinda High Again
In fact the average price for a gallon of gas is the highest it's been in almost two years. Funny how the media aren't doing any more "Pain at the Pump" stories or questioning whether the White House is too friendly with the oil companies.
And even adjusting for inflation we're still on par with 1978:
So let's see - high gas prices, high unemployment - all we need now is high inflation to complete the Carter trifecta.
Medical Care Queues To Get Longer
Even if you have great private health insurance now you wont in your old age. My advice: plan accordingly. Start preparing for it by accumulating money. . . . You have been warned. What to do about it? Cut your spending and put aside more in retirement accounts. Also, when making career choices go for the money. The utility of money is going to rise with advances in biotechnology. Some extra tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars set aside for medical expenses might save your life.Yep cash is king. Benefits can always be whittled down or taken away completely. Cash not so much.

Ukraine: low quality requirements for grains complicate competition on the global market
Due to the low qualitative requirements for grains on the domestic market, Ukraine faces some difficulties in competition on the world market, for example with France, where the domestic market has the high requirements for quality of produced grains, declared Rodion Rybchinskiy, Head of Business Projects Division of APK-Inform Agency, on May 29 at the press-conference "Grain market of Ukraine: problems and solutions. Forecasts of grain production and exports in 2014/15 MY".
He said that to date the Ukrainian domestic market is not ready to pay "quality bonus" to domestic agricultural producers. In turn, Nikolai Gorbachev, Director of New World Grain Ukraine LLC, noted that the North African countries which import French wheat, are sure of its quality, and purchase the Ukrainian grain "on a trial basis" only.
