Just as Needmore, McCoy Bridge is a very popular tourist attraction. Hundreds of out-of-town and out-of-state visitors drive across and walk on the bridge because of its uniqueness and simple beauty. Last summer as I was fording the river under the bridge with my two dogs, a young couple hung over the side and shouted, "Do you live near here? We're from Charlotte visiting family and HAD to come over to walk across this old bridge. It's just wonderful! You're lucky to live here!"
Yep! And just recently I thought of a similar story occurring down river in Cowee over 200 years ago. It is recorded in James Mooney's "History, Myths, and Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees."

Will The Los Angeles Lakers Release Ronnie Price?
Due to several injuries NBA player Ronnie Price days may be numbered with the Los Angeles Lakers.
As reported by Fansided the Los Angeles Lakers are considering waiving Ronnie Price who just signed with them this season.
Along with the point guards constant injuries the Los Angeles Lakers doesn't seem to be impressed with his game on the court. The 31-year-old is only averaging a sub par 3.3 points and 3.8 assists this season all while shooting a dreadful 24.5 percent from the floor.
Ronnie Price joined the NBA when he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2005. After playing with them for two seasons he signed with Utah Jazz. Since then he's played with the Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers and Orlando Magic.

Deng, D-Wade, Understand Derrick Rose's Plight, and the Price Paid for Playing
There's never been cause to question Luol Deng's toughness. Sure, some have done so, such as when his absence during the 2013 postseason was incorrectly attributed to the flu, rather than serious complications from a spinal tap. But after twice leading the NBA in minutes per game, and proving that he'll play with everything from a torn wrist ligament to a fractured thumb, he should be immune at this stage from any questioning of his dedication and determination.
And he believes Derrick Rose should be, too.
"The thing with Derrick is, I was there from his rookie year, I've watched him growing up," the current Miami Heat forward told Bleacher Report. "When he first came to the league, me and Joakim [Noah] would always tell him, 'Derrick, you can't play tonight. You're hurt.' And he always wants to put the team behind him and the city behind him. And even when he was hurt, he would play. And I really believe that some of his injuries were because he would play hurt. We would tell him not to. And he was so determined and wanted to be the best he could be, not only for the team, [but] for the city. And we kept trying to tell him to understand, like, 'Look, there's a difference between pain and injury.' And I think now after two injuries, he's being smart."
Of course, that's not how some see it.
Rose has come under intense criticism from fans, former players and—to a lesser degree—media, for what he said last Tuesday after his approach to his most recent injuries. At that point, Rose had missed four of five games due to two sprained ankles and, after returning for two games, missed Saturday's loss to Indiana due to a mild hamstring strain.
Those comments, which you've likely heard or seen by now:
"I feel I've been managing myself pretty good. I know a lot of people get mad when they see me sit out. But I think a lot of people don't understand that when I sit out it's not because of this year. I'm thinking about long-term. I'm thinking about after I'm done with basketball, having graduations to go to, having meetings to go to. I don't want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son's graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. Just learning and being smart."
That sounds a lot like what Deng and Noah tried to teach him. But it sounded to some as if Rose had misplaced priorities, especially in light of his $18.9 million salary this season.
"I think people are taking it out of context and saying, 'What kind of guy is that?'" Deng said. "But what people don't understand is this guy is in the gym 24/7. What he's doing, he's really trying. He came back last year and he wanted to play so many minutes, and that's what led to that injury [to his other knee]. What he's doing now is, everyone can say whatever they want to say, but in the long run, they're gonna appreciate what he's doing. It's just the way he said it didn't sound right. But when he meant is, I want to be there for my team down the stretch, that's really what it is."
That's why Deng got really steamed Thursday night, while viewing the TNT studio show, from his nearby hotel room in Atlanta.
Charles Barkley called Rose "a great player and a great kid…but that was stupid. We're so blessed. I limp around but I go home to a big ol' mansion. There are people that work harder than Derrick Rose that go home to a shack. There are consequences for what we do for a living. We've got the best life in the world….Derrick Rose is making $20 million a year and he's got a couple of bad knees. There are pros and cons of what we do for a living."
Barkley played as many as 75 games in just seven of his 16 seasons. Shaquille O'Neal played that many in just five of his 19 seasons (though he did play 49 of 50 games in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season). Yet O'Neal added this: "I was taught that if you could walk, you could play. You see how Kevin McHale walks now, how Phil Jackson walks now, how Charles [Barkley] and I walk…but it was worth it. When you make comments like that, it makes you look soft…but he can only be himself. If that's how he feels, that's how he feels."
Deng felt a strong emotion while he watched.
"It upset me to see that, because what that kid represents, especially for today's athlete, is a blessing," Deng said. "It's so sad to see someone attacking someone like that. I was really pissed. As a friend, it really bothered me a lot when I was watching TNT, and what some of the people were saying. But honestly, he's an example of how a lot of kids should be. Someone who puts home first, works so hard and is so humble. And to do that to him is really destroying his identity and what he stands for."
So perhaps it's a generational thing. Or perhaps there's some revisionist history.
But when it comes to current players thinking about post-basketball life, Deng believes that, "of course every player does." That includes himself.
"I'm smart enough to know when I can go and when I can't go," Deng said. "Every player knows that. It's just [that] Derrick said it. So everyone is on him. But if you guys want to take a survey and ask the league, if I don't feel right, I'm not gonna play. If I feel like I could play, I can play. Now, my 80 percent is different from your 80 percent, we're all different human beings. People want to praise us, and praise Derrick, when he plays hurt, but then when he has a big injury and then sits out, it's like, yeah, but why did you that? So really he can't win."
Is Deng correct?
Is every current player thinking about the future.
We couldn't get to all of them in a couple of days, but spoke to a few who have endured significant injuries or ailments over the course of their careers.
Atlanta's Al Horford, for instance, has played a total of just 38 games over the past two seasons due to tearing his left, and then right, pectoral muscles. He said that both times, he's just been "focused on the now," on going through physical therapy and getting back on the court. "I guess I never thought about down the road," Horford said.
Cleveland's Anderson Varejao has had a terrible run of luck, missing 149 games over the past three seasons. "But the one that scared me the most was pulmonary embellism," Varejao said of the blood clot in his lung that cut his 2012-13 season short after 25 games. "There was risk there for me to die. Everything else that I had, they were like freak injuries. My hand, my ankle, my quad. So I knew that I was going to rehab and be fine."
So none of the joint or muscle issues got him thinking about troubles in later life?
"Not me," Varejao said. "No."
Mike Miller's bodily woes were well-documented while he was in Miami. There always seemed to be something, from a concussion to two damaged thumbs to a chronically sore shoulder to a bad back that threatened his career. He says, even in the worst of the back problems, he didn't think much about how it would impact his non-athletic future.
"But that's not to say that you shouldn't sometimes," said Miller, who is now with Cleveland. "I don't know the right answer on that one. For me, it was getting through the process. Mine was a little different, though, too. It was the end of the year. He's six games in. There's different ways you can slice that one. He's getting [killed] on that one, huh?"
He is.
Sliced and diced.
Dwyane Wade has been similarly carved when he's missed time, though he has said something similar to what Rose did, about basing his availability in part on the post-basketball effects. Nor had he heard Rose's comments when Bleacher Report relayed them to him last week.
Still, he offered plenty of perspective.
"People who have never been injured, really seriously injured, where it could be career-changing, they don't understand what D-Rose's mental [state] is, when he said that," Wade said. "I mean, I'm sure a lot of people who have picked what he said apart and had a lot of things to say, but if you've never been really injured and it's been career-changing for you, then you don't know the mentality that he's going through. From what I get from it, he's not saying that he doesn't care about the game and he doesn't want to be out there in the moment. But he's also saying that he has to make smart decisions for his body."
Has he considered the long-term impact of what he's endured?
"Yeah," Wade said. "Yeah. I've thought about it many times."
But not necessarily about his knees, as you'd expect.
"When I messed my shoulder up (in 2007 in Houston), that changed a lot of things in my life, just thinking about the future," Wade said. "So, yeah, you think about those things. You don't know what's going to happen afterwards. You understand this sport is very physical and it's going to take a toll on your body. But yeah, you think about it."
And, at times, he has played like a football player.
"Yeah, at times I do," Wade said. "Not as much anymore. But the good thing about all my things is it hasn't been major, major from that standpoint. You know, a lot of things I've dealt with the last couple of years have been things that there's no further damage that [could be] that bad."
On every NBA roster, there are multiple players who have been significantly affected by injuries. Before hurting his knee, Danny Granger was the face of the Indiana Pacers franchise. Now, after a mid-season trade to Philadelphia and a short stint with the Los Angeles Clippers, he's trying to revive his career as a role player for Miami. While he said that his specific injuries haven't caused him to dwell too much on their long-term impact, he added that, "I think my situation was a little different than what D-Rose is going through. You don't know what the doctors have told him."
It may be very different from what Granger heard, during his process of recovery.
"It wasn't like my cartilage was gone," Granger said. "So they never really told me, this will hinder you in the future. Everybody got different circumstances. Mine was just a long recovery. So [the long-term consequences] never crossed my mind. Now, did it cross my mind if I would ever be able to play again if it didn't heal properly? Yeah, that did, 100 percent. But as far as after basketball, I've already come to terms with that I'm going to have a few messed up joints. We all do. It's inevitable. When you finish playing, something's going to be hurting. It's just inevitable. It's the price we pay. You see all the former players, somebody got a back problem, somebody got a knee problem, it's inevitable, it comes with the territory, it comes with a price."
Taking time off also comes with one: pressure from the public. But Granger said he never felt pressure from the Indiana training staff, and that allowed him to block out any of the noise from the outside. He also consulted with other players, who told him that he could only do what his body allowed. "All the people on the outside don't understand that," Granger said. "You're really at the mercy of your body. You can try as hard you want, and be as tough as you want, but if your knee or your shoulder or your back say no, they're gonna say no."
And, then, people are gonna say what they're gonna say.
But Granger, like Deng, says he "100 percent" got what Rose was getting at.
"One thing that people don't understand about athletes is we retire relatively young compared to the normal person," Granger said. "And I can understand what he's saying, because everything we're putting our bodies through right now—yeah, we're well-compensated for it—but if you're an NBA player and you retire at 35, you've had a great career. And you're still a really, really young man. You've got kids to raise. You want to play with them and do things with them. I've got one former teammate, a good friend of mine, he's not even 40 yet, and he says that sometimes he sold his soul for money because he can't even pick up his kids, because his back is so messed up. That's the part that people don't see, don't hear about."
He also noted how McHale walks, but in a different context than Barkley did.
"You've got a lot of players like that," Granger said. "That's the side that people don't see. They kind of want us to just shut up about it: 'Hey, shut up, you make a lot of money.' But I understand Derrick's point, you know. You got a long life to live."

Ronnie Price Suspended for Flagrant Foul on Austin Rivers
The NBA has suspended Los Angeles Lakers guard Ronnie Price for one game following his flagrant foul on Austin Rivers in a 109-102 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.
Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reported the news Thursday:
In the fourth quarter, Price was guarding Rivers, who penetrated to the basket. As Rivers attempted a shot, Price hit him in the head with a forearm. Referees whistled Price for a flagrant foul and ejected him from the game.
You can view the offending play below.
Pro Basketball Talk's Kurt Helin felt the NBA made the right decision:
Doc Rivers, Austin's father, however, wasn't sure if the foul warranted any sort of suspension, per Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times:
Through eight games this year, Price is averaging 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 21 minutes a night.
He's set to miss Friday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Cavs waive AJ Price, are rumored to sign Will Cherry
The Cleveland Cavaliers' roster stands at 14, but don't get your Ray Allen hopes up just yet. On Saturday evening, the team announced that they had waived reserve point guard AJ Price, a former member of the Washington Wizards who appeared in six preseason, averaging 7.2 points and 1.5 assists in 13.3 minutes.
Rumored to be taking Price's place is Will Cherry, a 6-foot-1-inch point guard who has agreed in principle to a two-year deal with the team. Cherry, 23, played for the Cavaliers' Las Vegas Summer League team this past off-season and their D-League Canton affiliate last season where he averaged 11.6 points and 4.5 assists. The Oakland, Calif., native was undrafted out of Montana in 2013 largely due to the foot injury, but, per Yahoo! Sports, his stock rose after playing well in the D-League and summer league this year.
Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that not all of Cherry's reported deal is guaranteed. He had previously been signed this past July to a two-year deal with the Toronto Rapto

Kemba Walker and Charlotte Hornets Are Right Match at Right Price
Good for Kemba Walker—and good for the Charlotte Hornets.
The two sides agreed (per Marc Stein of ESPN.com) to what seems like a pretty fair deal on a four-year, $48 million extension—a number that doesn't quite break the Hornets' bank, and one that Walker, who had plenty of doubters not too long ago, should feel satisfied with.
Despite leaving college on a high note after leading Connecticut to a national title, there were questions surrounding Walker's NBA outlook, like how would a score-first guard under 6'0″ in socks fare at the point in the pros?
But Walker has managed to adapt, and after three years in the league he's established himself as a legitimate asset.
For the Hornets' management, it's gotta be refreshing knowing they targeted, drafted and groomed Walker themselves—especially after all the duds they went with over the years, from Raymond Felton and Sean May to Adam Morrison, Brandan Wright and D.J. Augustin.
It's just so rare for the Hornets to actually reward one of the players they drafted this early in the process. The Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell highlighted the driving force behind the team's motivation to get a deal done:
The Hornets haven't typically extended players on the rookie wage scale at least until they reach restricted free-agency. In this case, Walker's asking price figured to keep going up, in part because of the anticipated rise in the salary cap from the NBA's new television deal.
With big man Al Jefferson looking at an opt-out clause after the season, signing Walker now prevents what could have been a scary situation: Charlotte's two best players both entering free agency this summer (Jefferson would be unrestricted, Walker would have been restricted).
Now with Walker locked up and the addition of Lance Stephenson, who should help improve the team's credibility by adding toughness, defense and playoff experience, the Hornets' sales pitch to Jefferson—the one they'll give in hopes of convincing him to stick long term—just got a little bit stronger.
You'd also like to think Walker's extension will be approved by the majority of the fanbase, considering he guided the team to a 43-win season and a playoff berth after they went 28-120 over his first two years.
While Walker's value around the league might differ, his value to the Hornets is enormous, given the roster's lack of playmakers. Josh McRoberts and Ramon Sessions finished No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, in assists last year for Charlotte—and neither player is back with the team in 2014-15.
Walker averaged 17.6 points and 6.1 assists last season, numbers that ultimately reflect the offensive firepower he brings to the table.
He's also proven to be a guy you can give the ball to on final possessions—someone who can create scoring opportunities out of nothing. And that's a quality that will continue to hold tremendous value in Charlotte as well.
"No question, I am definitely the leader of this team," Walker told Stephen Brotherston of Probballreport.com last season. "I wouldn't have it no other way. Guys look to me. Basically, the way I go, the team goes. I definitely wear that hat and I am excited to."
It's obviously nice to see Walker take on a bigger leadership role. But while his maturity and likability, along with his production and impact, likely factored into Charlotte's decision to further invest, the extension wasn't just a reward for what he's accomplished so far. It's also a reflection of the growth they expect from him over the next few seasons.
Not to dampen the mood, but $12 million a year is a big chunk of change for a starter whose player efficiency rating ranked No. 18 last year among active point guards.
Walker has some limitations out there. Without much size or strength, he shot a poor 46.9 percent within eight feet from the hoop last season, a likely reason for him taking a whopping 544 shots from 10-24 feet away.
Feel free to point to Walker's shot selection as a reason behind his 39.3 percent field-goal clip last season.
His low-percentage attack and high usage rate (finished top 10 among starting point guards last year) probably had something to do with the Hornets finishing No. 24 in offensive efficiency.
And with a so-so assist-to-turnover ratio and pure point rating (18 starting point guards from last year finished with better ones), Walker has work to do as a decision-maker and facilitator as well.
But you can't argue with the production he's put up or the impact he's had on this team. And at 24 years old having gotten a little bit better through three years in the league, there's reason to believe we have't seen Walker peak as an NBA pro.
This extension seems like a win-win for everyone involved. Walker gets paid and remains the man—he led the NBA in touches last year with 101.8 per game, 4.6 more than Chris Paul, per NBA.com.
And the Hornets get to lock up a franchise building block at a somewhat reasonable price. Plus, they finally get to build with an asset they acquired from scratch and developed themselves.
You can argue whether or not the Hornets overpaid by a million or two a year, but this was a deal that really makes everybody happy. Now it's on Walker to continue his gradual ascent.

Report: Celtics asking price for Rondo is 'sky high'
Teams looking to acquire the services of Rajon Rondo will have to be willing to pony up one heck of a trade package. That's according to Grantland's Zach Lowe, who wrote Tuesday that the Boston Celtics aren't looking to deal their star point guard for anything short of top dollar. "Boston has gauged the market for both over the last year or so, and its expected price for Rondo has been sky-high, per several league sources," Lowe writes. "That price will drop as Rondo's deal ticks toward expiration, but the market for him is thin." Lowe names the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings as two teams who could make a play for Rondo if they stumble out of the gates, but he speculates the Celtics might just hang onto the four-time All-Star and attempt to re-sign him after the season "if a frothy market doesn't materialize." In fact, Lowe predicts that if any Celtics star is traded this season, it'll be Jeff Green. "Green has a player option for 2015-16, meaning he may be working on a d

Two New Studies Suggest Women Are More Attracted to a Man Holding a Guitar
May 09, 2014 at 11:09am
Guitar players seem to be the sexiest out of all musicians. I mean the way they make love to their guitars is just.... Ahh! :D
May 08, 2014 at 4:23pm
Very well said.
May 08, 2014 at 7:15am
I am the living refutation of these scientific studies.
May 12, 2013 at 10:35am
This is definitely true at least from my personal experience. Although I also dated a drummer and know other women that have done the same. As a matter of fact the other women are married to the drummers. I am a guitarist and admit that I usually find them the most attractive. Musicians have always been and probably always will be my type.

Love love love this bed! So happy we decided to purchase it! We had been debating over it for a week and a half because all the furniture in our bedroom is black and we were unsure of how the dark brown would match with it. Finally we gave in and couldn't be happier! The brown is very dark, actually almost black. Assembly was fairly easy with two people and only took about 45mins. The quality of this product was far higher than expected, it's absolutely gorgeous!
Exactly what I wanted. Two hopefully helpful comments: 1. The footboard and rails are oversized and the headboard is not and they cone in two separate boxes so where I live they showed up a week apart, even though UPS shows them as one shipment. 2. The length of the bed is a couple inches longer than the queen sized memory foam I ordered. Still a good fit just something to look at if a perfect fit is important to you. Still a great item!
OK, its so many mix reviews about this bed, mine is an HONEST review, I am very handy with tools and putting things together, lets get that out the way, WITH THAT SAID, the bed is absolutely GORGEOUS and looks like its cost 800 + (my opinion) but at our local furniture store it was very similar bed in color and style and its cost 899.99, MY biggest question was is the bed is sturdy, I say YES!!, (LET ME EXPLAIN) I took one look at the plastic 45 piece support structure that comes with the bed, and SAID, you got to be crazy if you think i'm installing 45 individual pieces together with plastic and small wooden thin slats, !st reason... ( it would have took an additional 2 hours to install it) 2nd reason.... it just didnt look safe....., NOW, it took me 12 minutes to unpack and install 2 side rails, and headboard, footboard.. bed is done.. I drove down to LOWES, spent 13 dollars on 5 (1x6) wooden slats that go all the way across (i measured exactly and took off 1-inch) an WOW, i now have very STURDY BED. at a very LOW price... now.. My wife and I love the bed, I'm 200 pounds, and she is 130, and we both can jump in our bed like kids and bed don't even move!! NO exaggeration. HONEST, i took the 45 piece support Structure and put it on the curb for TRASH. I love my bed. I'm a happy overstock customers
We got this bed and was delivered on time. It came in two packages that were delivered at our door! (excellent since they are heavy). The assembly was easy between two people and the hardware needed is included. My only complain is the quality of the wood slatted base which was not good at all. I had bought a bed at walmart before and its quality for the wooden slatted base was better. However that was an easy fix since for ~80 dls we got the foundation (Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation) which is awesome. All put together looks great and feels very sturdy. It is definitively a good option considering shipping is FREE.
Very poor quality and built. Price was pretty good. Style is excellent.
Bed is stylish, for the price it was worth it, although one of the legs to hold the headboard did not have the inside piece to screw the nails and now I have a un-finish bed and have to return piece and wait for another to be delivered. I think that next time the manufacturer should check their pieces before packaging and sending out to customers.
I'm completely shocked to see so many reivews people the threw the entire bed out! Yes, I also had problems with the slats after about 2 years and it was very annoying. However, a $** trip to the hardware store for some wooden boards will fix everything. No need to waste an entire bed frame when slats are the only issue. Good grief! The middle support beam and interior lips under the mattress make it possible to lay several new boards across the entire width of the mattress in place of slats. Measure it out and that's it.
The bed came in a lot of pieces, and was very dirty with water/chemical spots and what looked to be dust. I had to scrub the bed down before putting it together! Once it got put together the bed is a nice addition to my space. If you are not handy with tools, this may not be the purchase for you!
I was excited when it arrived and can't wait to assembly it together and when it was done, it looked amazing! Assembly wasn't too hard. However, I noticed that the platform system in reality is totally different than the one it was depicted on the product info. It came with a somewhat fragile mid-rail that actually broke after 3 months of use and had to replace it. We are currently waiting on that replacement right now. Let's see after the replacement arrive, how it would hold out again. All in all, my husband and I are disappointed about the platform system that the manufacturer uses. That is why I gave this review 3 stars and quality 8 out of 10.

Part 1 of MotoGP's latest worst-kept secret is out: Valentino Rossi is to leave Ducati at the end of the 2012 season. Ducati this morning issued a press release (printed below) that their working relationship with Rossi will come to an end at the end of the season. The full press release is after the jump.
Our most beloved sovereignty in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is of course most well known for the race that bears its name, the Isle of Man TT. Traditionally taking place in the first weeks of June, the road race attracts tens of thousands of spectators to the small island, for a fortnight of racing on closed public roads. Words don't do the Isle of Man TT justice, so honestly you are just better off booking the trip and experiencing this two-wheeled bucket-list carnival first-hand for yourself.
Not as well known as the TT, the Isle of Man plays host to a second road race on the famous Mountain Course, the Manx Grand Prix. Traditionally held in late-August or early-September, the Manx, as it is known, uses the same course as the TT, but only features non-professional racers in its classes (except for the classic class). Changing the Manx's format to better promote and differentiate it from the more popular TT, the Isle of Man has decided to do away with modern machinery all together in the festival, and the Manx Grand Prix is to become a "Classic TT" according to its organizers, as was the rumor during the 2012 Isle of Man TT.
World Superbike in Brno this race-weekend, the home round for the Czech-based Effenbert-Liberty Ducati team. Once again in the spotlight after its dust-up following the Monza round, Effenbert Liberty rider Sylvain Guintoli took to Twitter ahead of WSBK's stop in Brno, announcing in a string of messages that that Czech team had breached its contract with him by not providing a bike for the Czech round, and as far as the French rider was concerned, the contract had been nullified.
Giving its side of the situation several days later, Liberty Racing first cited an issue with Guintoli's technical team, but later amended that statement by blaming Guintoli's lackluster results as the reason for why the French rider had been sacked. This is of course in spite of the fact that Guintoli has been on the podium three times this season so far, including a race win in Holland. Guintoli is currently eighth overall in the Championship, and is the first Liberty Racing rider to have won a race in WSBK.
HRC has today confirmed the news that has been expected for several weeks now. Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez have both signed up to race in the Repsol Honda team for the next two seasons, 2013 and 2014. Both riders are long-time protégés of the Spanish petroleum giant Repsol, so the combination of Marquez and Pedrosa in the factory team was the logical choice.
Once the Rookie Rule had been removed – at the request of the Honda satellite teams, for whom Marquez would have caused problems with crew members and sponsors – Marquez's move into the factory Honda team was inevitable. As for Pedrosa, the Spaniard has consistently won races every season he has been in MotoGP, and has been in the title race most seasons, though injuries have prevented him from mounting a serious challenge.
With World Superbike's stop at Monza being massively disrupted by the combination of the track's demanding layout and Pirelli's melting rain tires, the Italian tire company has taken the brunt of criticism from fans, teams, and riders for its handling of the two races at the historic circuit. With the long straights and high speeds of Monza proving to be a challenge in even normal conditions, the issue of tires became increasingly important as it was discovered that the compound used in Pirelli's rain tires could not handle the center-line heat caused by the Italian track, even in full-wet conditions.
WSBK fans watched as riders blew through rain tires in just a matter of two or three laps during the wet Superpole qualifying session on Saturday, and when the rain showed up again on Sunday, the riders had said they had enough of the nonsense. Though not encountering fully-wet conditions, Pirelli's intermediate tire was ruled out of the equation, as it uses the same compound as the rain tire, albeit with fewer groves. So, Pirelli's solution to the problem was to take racing slicks of different compound, presumably one that could handle the heat of the track, and cut them to into makeshift intermediate tires. Expecting riders to go two races on a pair, the WSBK paddock was less-than-enthusiastic with this remedy.
With the riders essentially causing a mutiny on the starting grid, Race 1 at Monza was cancelled, while Race 2 was delayed for dryer conditions. Once the rain returned halfway through the race though, riders again raised their arms to signal the stoppage of the competition. Since they completed half of the race, only half points were awarded, but that left for some interesting comments in the paddock. Responding to the criticism of how it handled the Monza weekend, Pirelli has released a press statement that shifts the blame back to the World Superbike teams. Read the company's statement in its entirety after the jump.
The low-point of a great race weekend, factory Kawasaki rider Joan Lascorz was airlifted out of the Imola circuit, after crashing during a post-race test at the Italian track. Flown immediately to the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna, Lascorz was diagnosed with a broken 6th vertebra (C6), and was reported to have suffered trauma to his spinal chord. Since the Spanish rider has been moved back to Spain, details about Lascorz's condition have not been coming forth with regularity, though the latest update from the team is that the rider has been kept sedated to minimize his movement and because he still had fluid in his lungs.
Press interviews that are done internally by the teams themselves are usually very one-sided, glowing, and devoid of any controversial or tough questions, so you have to give a hat-tip to HRC for producing a pretty fair shake of an interview with Gresini Honda's Fausto Gresini. The former-racer turned MotoGP Team Manager is heralded as the most successful team owner in the history of MotoGP, which is certainly open for debate, though Gresini undeniably has some very note-worthy notches on his belt.
Along with his successes Gresini and his squad unfortunately have also had their fair share of tragedy. Losing Daijiro Kato at Suzuka in 2003 and Marco Simoncelli at Sepang in 2011, the team has been at the center of two dark chapters of the MotoGP story. Running a black livery in 2012, instead of the team's customary white color scheme, the absence of Simoncelli still percolates underneath the demure exterior of the team, though the Gresini Honda team is clearly looking forward instead of back.
Taking on the challenge of running a CRT entry for the 2012 MotoGP Championship, Gresini Honda will race with both a factory prototype and with a Ten Kate-prepped Honda CBR1000RR motor in an FTR chassis. At the helm of the CRT machine will be Michele Pirro, the same rider who gave Gresini a dramatic finish to the 2011 season, by winning the final Moto2 round at the Valencian GP. Also new to the team is Alvaro Bautista, who has been our dark horse favorite here at A&R. Fast, but underrated, Bautista's true potential will be measured this year as he joins an all-star team, and rides "the bike" of the GP paddock: the 2012 Honda RC213V.
While we have been expecting Erik Buell Racing to join forces with a larger company at some point this year, today it comes as a bit of surprise to learn that EBR has partnered with Hero MotoCorp. The deal sees Hero becoming the title sponsor for two teams in the AMA Pro Racing National Guard Superbikes Championship — Team Hero and AMSOIL Hero, while Erik Buell Racing will give Hero design and technology inputs for bikes destined for the Indian market.
In practicality, this partnership would seem to suggest that Erik Buell Racing will help Hero MotoCorp, a company recently freed/dumped from its partnership with Honda, build sporty two-wheelers for the Indian motorcycle market, while the cash-infused Indian manufacturer will help the boutique American sport bike maker continue to go racing in the United States. This news also puts Danny Eslick on the Team Hero EBR 1190RS for the 2012 season, while Geoff May will continue with the AMSOIL Hero EBR 1190RS. Thanks for the tip Kevin!
If it hasn't become apparent by now, we love us some April Fools here at Asphalt & Rubber, because like Christmas, the real joy in the holiday isn't in the act of receiving, but in the act of giving. It's perhaps at this time of year where the media side of the motorcycle industry reaches its zenith of creativity, producing eloquent prose, perfect press releases, and some of the most superb photo re-touches we've ever seen. We have in fact many maestros in our presence, and we wanted to share our Top 3 picks of the days festivities.
And our role in all this? Well we're firm believers in the idea that if you're going to do something wrong, then it's best to do it right. Instead of trying to fabricate a story or two, and then convince you that they were real (that's so 2010 by the way), we decided to switch things up and publish two stories (here & here) that we knew to be fundamentally true, and convince you that they were in fact fake. April Fools.
Ultimate Motorcycling Claims To Be The Most Popular American Motorcycle Publisher Online – We Call Bullshit
Ultimate Motorcycling, formerly of Robb Report fame, issued a fun article today (and accompanying press release) about how they've become the most popular American-based website for motorcycling out of all the print magazines, surpassing CycleWorld, Motorcyclist, and *gasp* even Asphalt & Rubber (actually we don't dabble in print, so we guess we're excluded from this club). This of course is complete, utter, and absolute bullshit, now allow me to tell you why. Ultimate Motorcycling is backing up its claim by citing Alexa.com, one of the most unreliable and easily massaged traffic reporting sites on the internet.
Now while all metric sites should be taken with a fair dose of salt, since they typically indirectly measure a website's traffic, Alexa is by far the worst of the group. Bought by Amazon in 1999, and then quickly forgotten about by the Seattle company, Alexa has done little since the 20th century to change with the ever evolving internet. While the site was fun back in the days when AOL was still the default landing page for most internet users, Alexa has long since jumped the shark in regards to its credibility in the industry.
There is a nice Wikipedia article that explains basics of Alexa, and TechCrunch gives a good example on how inaccurate Alexa reports really are (YouTube bigger than Google? Really!?), but the boiled down version is that Alexa collects the majority of its data through its own Internet Explorer toolbar and Firefox/Opera add-ons, and given how few people actually use these toolbars the sample sizes are woefully small and statistically insignificant. Further proof of this is the fact that Bulgaria is shown at Ultimte Motorcycling's top ranking country…yes, Bulgaria (we apologize to all 600 of our Bulgarian readers for this slight, but come on!).
The worst part about Alexa's rankings, is how easy they are to game. Remember, these stats are coming from a toolbar that only a handful or readers are actually using, so to inflate them all you need to do is have a few more people visit your site using the toolbar. Having litterally two or three more people visiting Ultimate Motorcycling's website with the Alexa toolbar installed can drastically skew the data results the company uses, and for instance say…making someone's writing staff install Alexa on their work computers could just as easily raise the traffic figures (not that we're suggesting such an unethical thing has actually occured).

"It's bull----, really. I honestly feel like that if I'd known I was going to get fined, I'd have gone ahead and gotten my money's worth, rather than trying to go ahead and play within the rules and still be fined," Rolle said. "I feel like Tom Coughlin made such a big deal out of that they had to assess a fine."
Rolle said he plans to appeal the fine to the league in hopes of having it either overturned or reduced.
Both he and Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that Brunell's decision on the play led to the hit.
"Being as he was left-handed and he was rolling to his right, he's been in the league long enough to where he can't throw across his body and not expect to be hit," Rolle said.
Fisher agreed that, despite the responsibility to avoid helmet-to-helmet contact lying solely with the defensive player, that Brunell's choice did play a part in the hit.
Asked if he'd tell Rolle to do anything differently on the play where Rolle initially made contact with his shoulder and forearm just after Brunell threw the ball away, Fisher said, "I'd tell the quarterback to do something different actually. I'd tell the quarterback to go down, get out of bounds. Don't try to throw across your body and those types of things.
"Now, Mark made the decision to try and make a play, and you're going to get hit when someone is bearing in on you. It was not intentional. Samari didn't try to intentionally hurt him. It was a clean play, in my opinion, and there are many, many other plays in this league that are clean that are fined because of helmet-to-helmet contact."
Rolle, who has never been fined before in his four-plus NFL seasons, said he would continue to play in the same manner, despite the fine.
"Of course, I'll appeal, and if I win, great, and if I don't, I'll move on," Rolle said. "I'm still going to play the same way."
Rolle said he felt fortunate in a way. On a play from the same Sunday, Denver Broncos safety Kenoy Kennedy was suspended from this past Sunday's game for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Chambers on a pass play. Kennedy laid a vicious lick on Chambers' jaw after Chambers was pushed down on the play by former Titan Denard Walker.
"I feel bad for a guy like Kenoy Kennedy. They're really being penalized," Rolle said. "I feel lucky in a sense, though."
Fisher said he agreed with the spirit of the rule regarding helmet-to-helmet contact to protect players, but added that Rolle did nothing blatantly wrong.
"I would not ask any of our defensive players to be less aggressive," Fisher said. "Any player who is trying to make a play in the field of play, you have to try and tackle him. Samari didn't do anything wrong. Samari, in the league's opinion, violated the rule that says you can't have helmet-to-helmet contact on the quarterback. That's all he did. There was not any malicious intent there. Samari does not have any track history of it … he was simply trying to make a play."
Back to work
The Titans were back on the practice field Monday in preparation for the Cincinnati Bengals, all except third-team quarterback Billy Volek, who was excused to be with his wife for the birth of their third child.
Among the Titans not practicing Monday were fullback Greg Comella, defensive end Carlos Hall and linebackers Randall Godfrey and Rocky Boiman. Godfrey, who got a second opinion on his injured ankle during the bye week, should be back on the practice field Wednesday.
Wide receiver Derrick Mason practiced again Monday and should be a go Sunday. Fisher also said Comella has "a chance" of returning as well.

Film Review: 'Harry Brown'
Date: June 15, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film critic
Michael Caine has never evolved as an actor — he hasn't needed to. From the very beginning, he's always been on top of his game. In the new thriller "Harry Brown," Caine delivers one of the finest performances of his career.
In the title role, he plays a 76-year-old ex-Marine devastated by the loss of his beloved wife. Shortly after, his best friend is murdered by a gang of drug dealers who inhabit the "projects" (the Brits so politely call them "estates") in which he resides. The somber widower, mad as hell, morphs into a pistol-packing pensioner bent on revenge.
As he guns down the perps, Harry proves he possesses a proficiency for systematically exacting justice. In one particularly gruesome scene, he matches wits with a drug lord who is absolutely, hands down, the sleaziest scumbag I've ever seen on screen. I couldn't help thinking about the characters who showed up for that casting call.
"Harry Brown" is an unnerving, uber-violent piece of filmmaking. Yet it never stoops to gratuitous. Even Caine (who grew up in those very same tenements) admits, "If you treat people like animals, they will probably become animals ... these places are disgusting and completely unlivable."
In his first feature film, director Daniel Barber has masterfully depicted these horrifying conditions and the despicable human beings that they foster. He also wisely employs lots of extreme close-ups of Sir Michael, which capture the genius behind his immense talent. It's so evident in these moments that one cannot help but being completely and utterly moved.
In the tradition of the best vigilante films, such as "Death Wish" and "Gran Torino," "Harry Brown" lives up to and elevates the genre. There's just something so exhilarating about old guys who can kick butt, especially when one of them is the great Michael Caine.

Gas diffusion through miscible blends of polystyrene (PS) with poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) and poly(styrene-stat-acrylonitrile) (PSAN) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is studied from temperatures below the corresponding lower critical solution temperature (LCST) to temperatures above. The Arrhenius equation describes the temperature dependence of diffusion coefficients of pure components. Diffusion coefficients of methane in the 20/80 PS/PVME blend also follow the Arrhenius equation in the temperature ranges above and below their corresponding LCST; however, discontinuity is observed in the LCST region. In contrast to the PS/PVME blend, discontinuity in the LCST region is not obvious for nitrogen and methane in the 50/50 PSAN/PMMA blend. These phenomena are discussed in terms of free volume and morphology changes in the LCST region.
