It's always en vogue to pick a first-round playoff upset or two, but this might not be the year for many of them.
It's that time of the year, with the regular season winding down, that the NBA's annual awards are debated.

There's really no good time to play one of the NBA's best teams, but the Bulls may be catching the Indiana Pacers at their lowest point of the year tonight on CSN.

This traditional hot and sour soup needs a soft and fruity white to match, which while not heavy in body, should have real intensity of flavour. We had the most success with Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc blends and Western Australia's Margaret River is home to this country's best examples of this classic style. It's worth noting that you do need to be careful of wines with excessive acidity – both here and with any of these dishes - as too much acid in a wine has a habit of making spicy food seem even spicier. Keep an eye out for producers such as Evens & Tate, Vasse Felix, Cape Mentelle and Cullen.
Bring together the scud chillies, sliced lemongrass, ginger, coriander root, kaffir lime leaf and the shallot in a mortar and pestle and bash to bruise and combine all the ingredients without taking it all the way to a paste.
Bring the stock to the boil and then reduce to a simmer, add the ingredients from the mortar and pestle and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Taste the broth and then add limejuice, fish sauce and chilli paste until there is a balance between hot and sour. Once you have the balance to your liking add the prawns and straw mushrooms and simmer for a further minute or until the prawns are cooked.
Divide the prawns between the bowls and ladle the hot broth over the top.
Sprinkle the chopped coriander over the top of each soup and serve immediately.

"If I'm not trying to make the tough plays [it limits turnovers]," said George. "That's where I struggled with beginning of the year – trying to make plays when I didn't have to. Now, the game is starting to flow for me."
He credits tireless before and after practice sessions with assistant coaches for improving his ball handling skills in recent weeks. "That's been helping me keep the ball tight, be able to penetrate and find open guys," he said.
George is the only Bulldog to start every game the last two seasons – 50 straight starts. He leads the 'Dogs in scoring (17.3), rebounding (7.8) and he leads the WAC in steals with 40 (2.7 per game). He also boasts the squad's best free throw percentage (91.4%) and averages the most minutes played (33.6 mpg).
George has done nothing but improve those numbers through two WAC contests, scoring 21 in wins over Boise State and Hawaii.
"I definitely have," he said about stepping up his game in conference play. "I take it upon myself to keep this team going and try to give it my all every night. It would be sad with the talent we have on this team to let us fall to sixth, seventh or wherever they have us picked."
In San Jose State (6-6, 1-1), the 'Dogs are going to see their toughest challenge of the young WAC season. George must continue his solid play and match one of the best scoring threats in the conference in Spartan guard Adrian Oliver, who is averaging 21 ppg.
SJSU may try to cut the game in half and limit Fresno State's transition scoring opportunities. But the Spartans can run the floor despite getting beat by 29 on the road Saturday in Reno. They also have a huge inside presence in center Chris Oakes, who leads the conference in rebounding with 10 per game.
But George could be the deciding factor with his newfound ability to take over a game in the clutch as we saw against Boise State nine days ago. Moreover, the 'Dogs are playing like team for possibility the first time this season.
"It meant a lot," George said of the last minute 71-68 win over the Broncos. "I think it brought us closer together. We all got each other's back now, through tough times, we can still stick it out and win ball games."
Another reason George has become a more complete player has been improved point guard play. Sophomore junior college transfer Steven Shepp has enhanced the play of those around him since taking over the starting role a month ago, something George says was lacking last season.
"Last year, Bryce [Cartwright] did a good job but with Shepp being here, he's much more of a ball handler, he sees the court better and he just makes great passes," said George. "That's what we struggled with last year just handling the ball from the point guard."

Oh, a main character with a special ability. Must be Code Gayass." Congrats, you're all calling it a copy of GC because of two factors that don't even matter since most main characters have a special ability, and they all have to fight something. I do agree that it's more like NGE though. I'm not seeing any legit reasons as to why you …

Currency swap facility to boost Malaysia, South Korea bilateral tiesThe Gyeonggi Business Centre, Kuala Lumpur (GBCKL), expects bilateral trade between Malaysia and South Korea to improve further with implementation of the Malaysia-Korea Currency Swap-Financed Trade Settlement Facility, early next year.
Its Regional Director for the Korean Trade Centre (Asia), Patrick On said the settlement facility, expected to be commercially viable next year, would facilitate trade settlements and translate into higher trades.
"The strong support of the central banks of both countries for this trade settlement facility will accelerate use of the respective currencies for cross-border trade.
"Up to RM15.0 billion or KRW5.0 trillion will be made available by the two central banks to facilitate trade settlements between firms of both countries, using the respective currencies," he told Bernama.
On said the settlement facility would benefit importers and exporters of both countries by reducing the risk of currency mismatches and potentially lower transaction costs in international trade.
In 2013, Malaysia's trade with Korea increased 13.7% to US$18.04 billion (RM56.91 billion) from US$16.20 billion in 2012.
From January-July 2014, total trade between Malaysia and Korea rose by 11.4% to RM35 billion (US$10.76 billion) against RM31.41 billion in the corresponding period of 2013.
Korea is Malaysia's seventh largest trading partner, ninth largest export destination, and seventh largest source of imports.
According to On, the free trade agreement partnership between Malaysia and Korea is under intense consideration.
"Regular trade missions and specified trade meets, as well as offerings from Malaysia's Economic Transformation Programme, are also factors that can further spur bilateral relations going forward," he said.
GBCKL, a business hub representing the Korean government to assist small medium enterprises to penetrate South East Asian markets, will organise the largest Korean products sourcing fair, "G-Fair KL", from December 2-3 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
On said the trade fair would feature 64 selected Korean companies from various sectors as water and sewerage industries, beauty and cosmetic products, consumer products, industrial and building materials, and IT, electronics and electrical products.
"Starting this year, the trade fair would be an annual event by GBCKL, as we want to take advantage of the establishment of the Asean Economic Community, under Malaysia's chairmanship of Asean next year.
"Malaysia can be called a focal point in Southeast Asia and the GBCKL is a Korean hub for this region," he added. – Bernama, November 22, 2014.

Today's testimony addresses the challenges DOD faces to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its weapon systems acquisition and contract management. GAO has designated both areas as high risk areas since the early 1990s. DOD's major weapon systems programs continue to take longer to develop, cost more, and deliver fewer quantities and capabilities than originally planned. DOD also continues to face long-standing challenges managing service contracts and contractors. For example, the oversight of service contracts has been recognized as a material weakness in the Army. The current fiscal environment combined with the current operational demands elevates the need to improve weapon systems acquisition and contract management. DOD has taken steps in response to recommendations GAO has made over the past decade. Taken collectively, these actions reflect the commitment of DOD senior leadership. However, to fully address these challenges the department needs to (1) translate policy into practice, (2) ensure steps undertaken result in intended outcomes, and (3) conduct a fundamental reexamination of its reliance on contractors. In preparing this testimony, GAO drew from issued reports, containing statements of scope and methodology used, and testimonies.
Several underlying systemic problems at the strategic level and at the program level continue to contribute to poor weapon systems acquisition. The total acquisition cost of DOD's 2007 portfolio of major programs has grown by 26 percent over initial estimates. At the strategic level, DOD does not prioritize weapon system investments, and its processes for matching warfighter needs with resources are fragmented and broken. DOD largely continues to define warfighting needs and make investment decisions on a service-by-service basis and assesses these requirements and their funding implications under separate decision-making processes. Invariably, DOD and the Congress end up continually shifting funds to and from programs--undermining well-performing programs to pay for poorly performing ones. At the program level, weapon system programs are initiated without sufficient knowledge about requirements, technology, and design maturity. Instead, managers rely on assumptions that are consistently too optimistic, exposing programs to significant and unnecessary risks and ultimately cost growth and schedule delays. In December 2008, DOD revised its guidance to improve its acquisition of major weapon systems, consistent with recommendations GAO has made. We have previously raised concerns, however, with DOD's implementation of guidance on weapon systems acquisition. In fiscal year 2008, DOD obligated about $200 billion for contractor-provided services, more than doubling the amount it spent a decade ago when measured in real terms. GAO's previous work has highlighted several examples of the risks inherent in using contractors, including ethics concerns, diminished institutional capacity, potentially greater costs, and mission risks. Further, the lack of well-defined requirements, difficulties employing sound business practices, and workforce and training issues hinder efforts to effectively manage and oversee contracts and contractors. These factors ultimately contribute to higher costs, schedule delays, unmet goals, and negative operational impacts. These issues take on a heightened significance in Iraq and Afghanistan, where DOD estimated that more than 200,000 contractor personnel were engaged as of July 2008, exceeding the number of uniformed military personnel there. As of October 2008, the number of contractor personnel in both countries had increased to over 230,000. DOD has taken several steps in response to GAO's recommendations aimed at improving management and oversight of contractors. These include issuing policy and guidance addressing contract management, identifying skill gaps in DOD's acquisition workforce, improving training for military commanders and contract oversight personnel, and creating a focal point within the department for issues associated with the use of contractors to support deployed forces. DOD, however, has not conducted a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate mix of military, civilian, and contractor personnel.

Happy Hour: Better than coupons — oysters and wine at Whole Foods
Whole Foods Market in Westlake offers a variety of food-themed happy hours, from street food to 69-cent oyster night.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Our happy-hour pick this week takes us past the rows of grocery carts, by the lily bunches in the floral station, not far from the organic Pink Lady apples in the produce aisle ($1.99 per pound, by the way). Yeah, we threw a few back at Whole Foods Market in Westlake recently. No kidding; feel free to insert your own "whole paycheck" joke.
It's 50-cent wings this particular Wednesday night. It will be street food later this month. Its raison d'être, though, is the 69-cent oyster happy hour. Happens about twice a month in the store's cafe. It's an event that oyster lovers plan their schedule around. The line starts forming about 15 minutes before the oysters are served.
Last week, the oyster choices were Barron Point, from Puget Sound — meaty, buttery and sweet, served with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, horseradish cream and a daikon-cucumber-wasabi blend.
These were plump, not the small, discarded oysters that often end up on the menu at $1 oyster happy hours.
Pick up any beer or wine in the store to pair with your oysters. No corkage fee. Two dozen oysters and a bottle of sparkling wine may run you around $30, enough for at least three people.
During summer, the line stretched back nearly to the other end of the store. It's a really big store. The devotees come early and grab a table in the cafe while dispatching someone to stand in line. They've already picked out the wine.
You think this is pathetic, pal? Ask the couple that came late and waited 30 minutes. They were probably staring at the $54.99 Riedel crystal flutes on display, by the end of the line.
Whole Foods Market, 2210 Westlake Ave., offers a themed happy hour two to three times a week, hours and days vary. The next 69-cent oyster happy hour is 6-8 p.m. Jan. 18. Other food-themed happy hours run from 5-7:30 p.m. (206-621-9700; check the calendar for happy hours at wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/westlake/).

China plays host to the world's top kiteboard racers for the first time as riders fine-tune equipment and familiarize themselves with the conditions.
Boao, Hainan – The 2013 kite racing world championships kicked off in spectacular fashion Tuesday with a firework-laced opening ceremony before the athletes blasted around the course in their final warm-up sessions before the action begins in earnest on Wednesday.
Riders chose 8m to 10m kites to match the winds which ranged from 18 to 20kts as they ripped over the clear waters of Boao's King Bay in preparation for the International Kiteboarding Association's (IKA) course racing world championship being staged in China for the first time.
Reigning world champions Johnny Heineken (USA) and sister Erika went through their paces on the two tracks laid side-by-side during a series of practice races. A fleet of 160 riders, from more than 40 countries around the world, enjoyed the moderately smooth waters inside the reef.
The IKA Kiteboard Race World Championship, which is managed and locally organized by King Bay resort and Kite Tour Asia (KTA), will see five days of exhilarating action in the forecast moderately strong winds to crown the new men's and women's champions.
Markus Schwendtner, IKA CEO, and Neil Godbold, KTA founding director, told the crowd of spectators and riders assembled on the beach of their delight at being in China for the for the first time and gratitude to King Bay for hosting the event and acting as main sponsor.
Under clear skies the competitors – 120 men and 40 women – proudly gathered in groups behind banners of their national flags in front of the stage set up on the beach. The backdrop was completed as other riders gave stunning demonstrations of racing and freestyle disciplines.
Godbold expressed his thanks to all those who had worked so hard for 18 months to make the event possible and the riders who had journeyed from all parts of the globe to compete for the world titles.
"For many of you riders it is your first visit to China and perhaps even Asia," said Godbold. "I hope you get the opportunity to visit other places in Hainan and in this unique part of the world."
The video highlights from the practice race day can be found here: https://vimeo.com/79850538
For the first time ever China will host the IKA World Course Racing Championship in 2013 and there is no better location for this event than the beach at King Bay on Hainan Island. With $20,000 USD on the line and a 200 point ranking event Cabrinha is stoked to sponsor this event. Click Here for more info.
12 riders from around the world gather at Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts USA in hopes of winning a piece of the $27,000 prize purse.
It was an incredible two weeks of racing with conditions ranging from 15 knots to 40 knots of wind. The top speed sailors from around the world gave it everything they had on the beautiful waters of Nantucket. In the end it came down to Rob Douglas currently the world record holder and also the fastest man in the world at 55.65 knots taking home the gold. Then there was me, the Florida boy Damien, who was the littlest but I was persistent and battled it out everyday and after all the dust settled I ended up in second place with the second fastest time. In third place another Douglas brother Jamie who had some incredible results and rode very consistent the whole event.
The event, lasting two weeks, got in 10 races with a max top average speed of 50.193 knots over 250 meters wiith V max's over 54 knots. The evolution of speed is changing as some riders pushed slalom boards or a new brand of speed board called "Giant Speed" or "GS" to speeds averaging 44 knots in winds of 15 knots.
A big thanks goes out to all the riders who flew in from around the world as well as the great race committee Robert Garrison, affectionally known as "Bear" Harding and Chris "The Mucht" Conrad, as well as the event sponsor and incredible competitor "Bill Lynch" for hosting such an incredible event. A big thanks goes to "The Black Dog" for supplying the riders with meals and world-class hospitality during the event.
Also a big thanks goes to Meanline Fins for the incredible trophies as well as having the top 4 competitors make it on the podiums. A big Thanks to my wonderful family and friends who are always supporting me in these endeavors!
So grateful for my sponsors: Cabrinha, GoPro, Oakley, Lynch, Meanline Fins, The Black Dog, NP, Runa, Corner Five,

April 04, 2014
The nation overall and the trucking industry both added jobs in March, according to new U.S. Labor Department figures released Friday.
There were a total of 192,000 jobs added during the month, leaving the unemployment rate unchanged from the month before at 6.7%. While the number of jobs added was less than a consensus forecast from economists, numbers for January and February job gains were revised upward from previous figures.
The new report nearly matches up with a separate one released two days earlier, showing 191,00 jobs were added during the month
The unemployment rate was kept lower as more American's resumed looking for a job. Over the past year, the number of unemployed persons is down by 1.2 million while the unemployment rate has shed 0.8 of percentage point.
All of the overall March increase came from the private sector, with private payrolls surpassing the record high set in January 2008.
For-hire trucking added 3,300 jobs in March, with the number of people in the sector employed being 1.8% higher than a year ago and 12.9% greater than compared to March 2010, but is still 4.3% below the peak registered in January 2007.
For March, the wider transportation and warehousing sector gained 7,900 jobs.
"A solid report suggesting the labor market is on firmer footing than implied by the recent weakness seen during the winter months of December and January. However, this is hardly the 'catch up' number anticipated from months of pent up demand," said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist with the investment firm Sterne Agee. "The sub-200,000 March headline still falls short of the levels seen in October and November. While promising, this morning's report leaves the three month average little changed at 178,000 down from 205,000 at the start of 2013, undermining confidence in reestablishing above trend momentum in hiring.

This was my first visit and I absolutely loved my pizza.
Zano's also has a great bar and makes great drinks.
Service is great and quick.
I am returning soon and will be telling my friends about the great Zano pizzas.
Great place to take a family for an informal dinner or gathering. Great with kids as place has a small game room giving kids something to do. Good is pretty good with large portions and a nice kids menu. Prices are as expected at a family restaurant.
My sister, brother-in-law and I had dinner here in May, 2014. It's a cute place with a long bar and an outdoor patio. Indoor dining has about 10+ tables. The bar was full when we got there and it must have been a very happy bunch because it was so noisy we couldn't talk to each other. Service was slow...
This place is great, the staff is great, the pizza is great, thats all you need. Had a great time with my friends there.
Pizzas are aweful do not order. Domino's better. Other dishes are okay but expensive. Service is good and sangria yummy. Probably will not come back since the food is just okay for the cost.
5 of us had an awesome meal last night at Zano's! Despite a huge local athletic event, we were seated in 10 minutes. Service was a tad slow (place was totally packed), but our server Dan kept us happy. We tried the cheese/garlic bread, gnocchi, spaghetti & meatballs, fettuccine alfredo and a calzone. Everything was delicious! Was thrilled with the...
I liked the bar service and drinks good. Pizza was ok but pricey and service didn't exist. Manager was too busy talking to see all the upset patrons
The food and drink were ok and they have gluten free pizza, but they gave us a hard time about bringing n our Guide Dog puppy in training so I won't go back.
Such a cute spot, with great staff. The food was OUTSTANDING, and I am an Italian and pretty picky. The lasagna had three cheese and both ground beef and hot sausage, for example. Primo. The salads were huge and meals in and of themselves for only a dollar extra. Each of our dishes also came with fresh veggies sautéed in...
When you walk into Zano's, you will be impressed. Seated you'll note that the place looks really nice. Our server, Emily was very attentive and pleasant. We ordered a Large Pizza, we both had a side salad. I ordered a diet Pepsi. The soda came wrong. It appears that the DP on the bar hose means Dr. Pepper, not Diet...

This report focuses on government efforts but is grounded in systems thinking, incorporating social, economic, and environmental considerations; for clarity's sake, it uses distinct terms for the connections across social-ecological systems and governance linkages that are needed for successful management of connected systems. For example, managing water resources sustainably means considering not just water quality and quantity, but also its connection to air quality, land use that may involve food and energy production or urban development, drinking water security, electricity from hydropower, fisheries, recreation, and impacts on human health.3 Governing for sustainability requires bringing the right complement of people to the table, acknowledging the linkages across societal and governance institutions. Thus, managing water resources would require enabling and facilitating effective linkages among dozens of federal, state, local and sometimes international institutions and organizations. Governance by its traditional nature (and often by statute) is compartmentalized, but maximizing one variable at a time is a path to suboptimal results. Better results are likely to be achieved by managing the connections and optimizing governance linkages.
The systems that must be considered in addressing sustainability challenges are referred to in this report as social-ecological systems. These complex systems include the natural resource domains (air, fresh water, coastal oceans, land, forests, soil, etc.), built environments (urban infrastructure such as drinking water and wastewater systems, transportation systems, energy systems), and the social aspects of complex human systems (public health, economic prosperity, and the like).
Figure S-1 provides a graphical depiction of the challenge, where key resource domains, including water, land, energy, and nonrenewable resources, are shown as squares, and areas that require these resources (industry, agriculture, nature, and domestic) are depicted as ovals. Human health and well-being interacts with all of these. It is common that scientists and decision makers specialize in one of these topics and are relatively unaware of the important constraints that may occur as a result of inherent connections with other topics. As the diagram demonstrates, a near-complete connection exists between all of these domains, even though tradition and specialization encourage a focus on only one part of these highly interconnected systems.4
3The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Environmental Strategy refers to this as "integrated water resources management." See OECD. 2012. Review of the Implementation of the OECD Environmental Strategy for the First Decade of the 21st Century: Making Green Growth Deliver. Meeting of the Environment Policy Committee (EPOC) at Ministerial Level, March 29-30, 2012. Online. Available at http://www.oecd.org/env/50032165.pdf. Accessed February 13, 2013.
