From the outset, the New Zealand organising team's goal was to be "Remembered as the best world championships ever through the end user experience".
We hope we have been able to come close to this goal.
The ITF XVII Senior and XI Junior Taekwon-Do World Championships began on the 9th of March 2011 with an emotional Opening Ceremony. The VIPs were welcomed with a traditional Maori "Pohwhiri". Everyone was then treated to a slick and action packed children's demonstration, performances by Maori cultural groups and the official opening speeches.
One of the many new innovations of this championships was to have the Opening Ceremony at the start of the tournament. Sounds logical – but something that has not been done before. We think the competitors in particular enjoyed this approach, rather having to come back in the evening later in the week.
Following the Opening Ceremony, competition got underway immediately. After some initial familiarisation with the new systems, coaches and teams enjoyed the quick flow between the warm up area and the competition floor accompanied by the Ring Marshalls. The warm-up hall contained large flat screen TVs streaming video of each ring and also the live draws in real time.
Something also trialled at the World Champs was the new version of the NESS scoring software, where the public (and competitors) can see the judges scores displayed on the screens during sparring. A summary also shows which competitor is leading at any time. There were mixed views as to whether this is something that should be used in the future.
New also was that multiple events (sparring, patterns, special technique and power) were all run at the same time in the arena. This made for a very exciting spectator event. Innovations in the areas of Power and Special Technique judging also made for fast running rings, with little delays or problems.
As well as the tournament itself, there were many additional events such as the ITF Congress held on Friday 11th March. Results from the voting held at the congress are published here: http://www.tkd-itf.home.pl/pub_web/ver_eng/ITFA16032011.html.
VIPs were also treated to an official reception by the Mayor of Wellington, Celia Wade-Brown. This was a very special evening held at the historic Mayoral Chambers and we were grateful for the Mayor's support of the tournament. The Organiser Mr Lorantos and his wife Vienna also hosted the VIPs for a special dinner at his residence. It was an evening that all the VIPs will fondly remember.
The covereage of the tournament was again handled by Mr Doug Hanna of www.tkdaction.com. As many around the world know, his team's photos and reports are second to none, and are an important part of the World Champs for those that can't be there. Doug and his team took 27, 694 photographs, published 32 blog posts and sent 595 tweets!
For the first time we also had live streaming on the internet free of charge. The webcast attracted 57,057 visits. Our World Champs website (www.itfnewzealand2011.com) had 77,062 visits.
Some of the other innovations made for this tournaments included:
The Closing Ceremony was held on the last day of competition, and the highlight was the announcement and presentation of the 9th degree for Master Lan from Germany. A very special moment for everyone that witnessed this most popular Instructor becoming a Grand Master!
Thanks go to our sponsors and the support in particular of Major Events New Zealand, Wellington City Council and SPARC. Thanks also to the ITF Umpire Committee, the Tournament Committee and the ITF Board for their support and assistance.
On behalf of the organising team, we especially thank everyone who attended the World Championships in Wellington, New Zealand. Without your support by attending the event it would not have been successful.
Results, photos and reports can be found on the 2011 World Champs website: www.itfnewzealand2011.com.

What is your opinion on MLC's (Master Level Characters)?
In case you have forgotten, 2nd Ed had the Templar, the Herald, the Mystic, & the Champion of Chaos. 3rd Ed had the Sheriff, the King's Champion, the Master Thief, & the High Mage.
Did these characters make Talisman better or worse for you/your group?
Please share your thoughts and ideas…

It's that time of year again—timing the turkey perfectly, reinventing green bean casserole and gathering together to give thanks for our friends and family and the good things in life. Here in Oregon, Thanksgiving also signals another annual event: the Willamette Valley Wine Country Thanksgiving weekend to continue the celebration.
Pinot Noir is the reigning grape in Oregon, and it pairs beautifully with turkey, so we got together with our friend Bruce Bauer, owner of Vino wine shop in the Sellwood area of Portland, and came up with some suggestions for your holiday meal. Though just a few of these are available far and wide, there are many wonderful wines from Oregon—just ask the staff at your local wine shop:
J. Christopher 2005 Zoot Allures Pinot Noir - Bruce calls this the best Oregon pinot value today.
EIEIO 2004 Cuvee E Pinot Noir - This is a several-vineyard blend with a big flavor. Bruce says this wild & wonderful wine has a lot of spice.
Scott Paul 2003 Audrey Pinot Noir - Inspired by the great Hepburn of the same name, this is an elegant wine with a smooth texture, berry & floral nose and a full fruity palate with a long finish.
Cameron Winery 2004 Pinot Noir Abbey Ridge - Bruce feels the single vineyard wines from this vintage are classic, "ripe, rich, perfectly balanced and filled with terroir." Cameron's John Paul was featured in our Sept/Oct issue story, "Crush Time."
If it's whites you prefer with your turkey, here are a few ideas:
J. Christopher 2005 "Zoot Allures" Blanc - Another value from J. Christoper, this wine is a blend of sauvignon blanc, with a little pinot gris and riesling. This stainless steel fermented white is crisp and dry, with notes of citrus and melon.
2002 Ponzi Chardonnay Reserve - This silky chardonnay has a touch of spice and lovely citrus notes.
Chehalem 2005 Dry Riesling - Chehalem's 2005 vintage is bright and dry with intense fruit and a long finish.
When it's time to dig into some pie or wind down after your big meal, try SerendipiTea's Holiday Cheer blend ($10). With peppermint, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger, spearmint, orange peel and black tea, this blend is so delicious and warming, you'll drink it all winter long!

Sokol Blosser also makes a great pinot. Anything from the Carlton Studio is a good bet too.

Do you know where the serendipitea holiday blend is sold?

My first wine of choice this year was an old stand by: Marques de Caceres - Rioja Tinta 2003. Dark, rich fruit, vanilla, and autumn spice. Of course, after Thursday's big meal, my great aunt invited us all over for bourbon. And with leftovers the next day, we went with Chateau Tour St. Bonnet - Claret 2000. Just right.

marko, is your family taking applications for adoption? sounds like a great holiday!

Mark, you are a crack-up--everyone needs a relative like that!
K.C., the most convenient place to buy the holiday blend is on serendipiTea's website. If you click on the link in the original post, it will take you right there--it really is delicious! - 11/28/2006 1:56 PM

I have the same question. In the guide it is listed by the call letters (something only done with HD channels), and it has HD labels on the programs. Even Direct list this channel as an HD channel on their website, so should it be added?
Stations that multicast have the option of which channel they want DirecTV to carry. KLCS chose the .2 channel, IIRC, because that is the one that carries the local PBS for the Inland Empire. 58.1 is the regular PBS feed and is also not in HD. Not sure on that, as I am not home and cannot look at the guide at this time.

As a part of my recent quest to find a healthy and portable snack that would satisfy my ultra picky toddler, I tried several different bars marketed as being kid friendly. She ended up really liking the Clif Kid Organic Chocolate Chip Z Bars, but one that we tried and she swiftly rejected was the Kid's OoHmega! Food Bar in Cherry Pie flavor. I am a sucker for anything with cherries, so while Miss Finicky Britches may not have liked this bar, but I thought it was tasty, nutritious and worthy of a review.
These bars are 100% organic and unprocessed, containing only real food ingredients, including cashew butter, flax, cherries, oats and rice protein. Dates and agave nectar are used as natural sweeteners. They're a little on the small side, but only have 135 calories so I can live with that. Unlike say a Larabar, the ingredients are pretty well blended together and the only visible chunks are the dried cherries. The texture is okay, but I personally prefer a little crunch in my bars, so I think throwing in some nut pieces would be an improvement. The cashew butter and cherries really come through in the taste and you can also catch a hint of the flax.
I wouldn't say this one is as close to actual cherry pie in taste as the gold standard Cherry Pie Larabar, but it's still pretty good and definitely cherr-eee (not a word, but you get my meaning) in flavor. This is also what I like to call a good "all weather" bar. I live in South Carolina, which is hotter than H-E-double hockey sticks, for 4 four months out of the year, so bars enrobed in chocolate or containing anything with a melting point die a quick death around here.
As is indicated by the name, OoHmega! Food Bars are a good source of omega 3's, containing 1000 mg each. Each Kids OoHmega Cherry Pie Food Bar also provides 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of toal fat (only 1.2 grams of which is saturated) and 8 grams of sugar.
They are very affordable as well. I paid $8.93 for a box of 10 at Vitacost.com. For grownups or kids, especially those who like cherries, this bar is a good, inexpensive and healthy snack that I will be purchasing again.

Migrants moving from Mexico to the United States represent the world's largest migration corridor, and the two countries have a long, complicated history with respect to immigration. Previously a country of emigration, Mexico increasingly has been experiencing new roles: as a country of transmigration and increasingly of settlement. The research here examines Mexico's relationship with its vast diaspora in the United States; the economic, insecurity, and other factors that have led to sizeable emigration; and the country's evolving policymaking with respect to migration.
The Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 examines key migration developments of 2014. The Top 10 touches down around the world: from Africa, where the Ebola outbreak prompted quarantines, travel controls, and bans; to Europe, confronting rising humanitarian flows; to the Middle East, where the migrant worker regulation system is under ever sharper attack; and to Asia, where reform to China's hukou system could benefit more than 100 million internal migrants.

I like the way they have this set up. This will be my first miniatures game, so I have nothing to compare it too, but it looks like a cool way to put restrictions on your army while still providing plenty of flexibility.
New Preview up showing Platoon examples
Posted 29 March 2012 - 10:35 AM
Posted 29 March 2012 - 11:29 AM
The platoon style seems pretty common in miniature games these days. I just hope for lots of options to customize them.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 03:37 PM
It looks to me like the platoon upgrades will offer quite a bit of customization. Although I guess it will depend how many of them there are and what they all do.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 04:50 PM
I'm curious to know that if you are limited to choosing a unit from each section only once or can I add multiple units of the same name to that platoon equal to the platoons unit limit?
For example, section 1 reads:
Combat Ranger
Assault Ranger
Ranger Weapon Squad
Heavy Ranger Attack Squad
Out of these choices, am i limited to only choosing one unit once, or could i potentially have my entire section 1 dedicated to Assault rangers or a mix of say 2 Combat Rangers and 2 Heavy Ranger attack squads?
I don't believe the answer to this question was revealed in the preview, but it is probably my most urgent question.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 05:55 PM
Here's the way I understand it:
Platoon A
Command Section - SSU Command Squad
Section 1 - SSU Battle Squad
Section 2 - SSU Battle Squad
Section 3 - SSU Rifle Squad
If my assumption is correct you can take any of the options for that slot (SSU Battle Squad, SSU Close Combat Squad, SSU Rifle Squad), thus you can have 3 Combat Rangers, or 2 Combat Rangers and 1 Heavy Rangers, or 1 Combat Rangers and 2 Heavy Rangers, etc., but you cannot have 4, because you must have a Command Section (Hero or Command Squad) for the platoon in question.
Hope my educated guess was helpful!
Posted 30 March 2012 - 12:15 AM
Yeah, I agree with Koredar
There is only one unit per section, so you just pick one.
It looks to me like there is a lot of flexibility but you won't be able to min/max your army.
What I also like is that it looks like with the original core set and the command squads, you have enough for a platoon right there. Good to see you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars before you can field an army in the game.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 04:45 AM
Ahhh, I see. That makes much better sense. Thanks man. So, each platoon would likely consist of at least 5 units, plus how ever much support you are allowed correct?
Posted 30 March 2012 - 08:15 AM
The impression I get is that it's still point based. So you might play 150 points, or 200 points, or whatever. And depdning on the number of points that could change the number of units. Only the 2 units are mandatory, and the rest are optional. One could, presumably, deside to bring in a heavy walker and then you might only have points left for the command section and the first section, and nothing else.
It does seem like, unless you can field multiple platoons, that your army would be limited to around 7-8 units max. But there may be other ways to expand it that aren't revealed yet.
Also, with the exception of having a hero with the leader skill instead of the command squad, I don't see anything in here about fielding heroes. Not sure if you can just attach them to a section or if there rae other rules in play about how you field them.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 09:02 AM
I worry about a couple of things.
I don't mind using a TO&E to build a force, but I do worry about how well the TO&E options are created. Without knowing how the forces are actually designed, it's hard to evaluate how well the TO&E will function.
I'm not fond of mandatory troop choices. While Warfare is being designed to use for larger battles as I understand it, I don't like being forced to take specific command elements. Units don't always have that option for combat missions, but Warfare is now forcing it for every game. While it doesn't specify it has to be the expense of a command squad, we don't know how many leaders will have the Leader ability.
The addition of constant offboard artillery is something I really don't like. It makes no sense for someone wanting to recreate some of the missions from Tactics for Warfare, where units are underground where offboard artillery couldn't reach, and adds that issue for any new missions.
I also dislike constant offboard support because armies have had to go without artillery support frequently thorughout history, but automatic access denies that as a game option without forcing the Allies to give up something that should be reflected in their point structure. If a scenario precludes offboard artillery for the Allies, does the Axis have some special ability they can logically give up in the same way to maintain balance? If the Axis also have the same option, which would make sense tactically, it should have been set up as a purchasable option rather than a constant part of the force.
I don't want to see Warfare trying to be WW240K for force structure or special options like artillery for some armies when all WW2 armies used them.
I'm starting to worry about where Warfare has gone, as it's looking far less appealing right now.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 09:15 AM
As far as off-board artillery support goes, it only works 1/3 of the time, and marks the command squad as taken a "reaction', so it is not free, only works occasionally, and it only comes with a certain type of platoon. So I don't see it being a constant thing.
That said, I would doubt it would work underground, and one could certainly make it unavailable as part of any scenario if you want as part of the scenario rules.
And while I doubt it, it's possible that there are platoon options without the command section. But I suppose the idea is that no matter what kind of engagement you're in, *somebody's* in charge.
But I agree that perhaps this is too restraining from a historical perspective - I'm a board gamer more than a historical simulator or miniatures game player, so these kind of rules / restrictions are fascinating t ome and don't bother me at all.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 10:05 AM
When I say the off board supprt is free, I mean there is no specific point cost for it, which means for game balance, the cost is subsumed in the cost of the other units. Free is perhaps a misnomer, as I mean it has no assigned cost, but for game balance, it has to have a cost somewhere.
With the cost included in the cost of the force's units, when you have a scenario where logically the off board support cannot be used (ex: the underground missions from Operation Blue Thunder ported to Warfare), the Allies are paying for something they do not have access to, whether it is functional 1/3rd of the time or not. If the Axis do not have an exact match to limit them, there is an imbalance. If there is an exact match, why not give it a unit cost and let players decide if they want offboard suppport or not? As I noted, there have been lots of missions where offboard support was either not available, or not allowed because of other considerations (ex: unacceptable collateral damage possibilities, artillery not available, etc).
I don't have issue with wanting someone to be in charge, though there have been many missions historically when it was one of the squad leaders that was expected to handle C&C. I don't like seeing the freedom of Tactics being limited by a force structure that has significant problems.
The noted force structure limits walkers, but also specifies specific classes of walkers. That means new units, including any allied flyers, have to be checked against every platoon structure to add special rules to allow or disallow their use. If they want to limit vehicles, I would rather see a generic limit (ex: one vehicle per two squads), and then add specific restrictions by vehicle, rather than give specific allowances, and then have to check and add special rules to allow each new vehicle type.
It adds concerns for players who want to field different unit types. Tactics allows a free mix, but this notes nothing about how other units types might get fielded with the listed options. Lots of battles have been won by ad hoc forces, so I don't like worrying that Warfare might not allow that.
The rules as written are not written very well when you consider such things, which is part of my worry over where Warfare has gone.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 10:21 AM
I believe these kind of restrictions are in place to stop min/maxing - i.e., someone fielding a dozen observer squads to take advantage of the benefit that comes with extra activations, which gives an advantage that comes across as gamey.
If it were me writing Dust Warfare rules, I would probably have something like these platoons, but then I would also allow ad hoc armies - the cost of having ad hoc though would be to not get any special abilities that a platoon gets. So you could do what you want, but fitting into a predefined structure gives you special advantages. This way it would discourage people from creating the min/max armies while still providing full flexibility for someone who really felt they needed it.
As someone who is new to miniatures games and will be playing this with friends who aren't hard-core gamers (like my wife), I also like the platoon idea, as it will give extra guidance for them to put together an army, as sometimes they will freeze up with all the options and army building can take a really long time.
When I said the artillery action wasn't free, I was just meaning that it often would not get used because it takes in-game resources to implement it. Do I really want to use an action for such a risky play if there's something I can do with my squad that's a sure thing?
Also, we have only seen one platoon - we don't know how many there are, and how much freedom one would have.
Anyway, I'm not really disagreeing with your concerns - I can understand why you would hold them - I'm just saying that your concerns are not shared by myself, who is looking to get something else out of the game.
My personal biggest concern would be overall complexity of the game - I see that this is page 88. This is a big rulebook, at least for someone coming from a boardgaming background. I hope that it will be easy to introduce someone new to the game and have us playing quickly and having fun with our first game.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 11:40 AM
As I noted, I don't mind setting up platoon structures, because they can make creating a force easier. Those platoon structures, however, should be a tool to help, rather than hinder, and should actually make sense instead of simply being foolish lists to try and look impressive. Warfare is not historical WW2, so I don't expect platoon structures to match actual WW2 unit structures. Staying close would be a good idea, however, as it would make for logical and functional structures. Limiting observer and sniper units to mitigate people playing the rules for an activation edge should be far less of a problem for Warfare because it does not use alternating activation.
Limiting snipers overall could be an issue, because I know several people who like to play with the Soviet concept of sniper battalions, which using a general limit on snipers would disallow. I don't have a majoe issue with limiting support units (especially if alternatives like sniper battalions are also allowable), but the limits should make sense, and preferably be applicable without needing major rules additions for new unit types. Codex Creep to offset that could easily kill DUST locally, and in other areas from things I've been told.
I have a pet peeve reading their sneak peek release, simply because I am both a military historian and an ex-artilleryman.
They give their Allied offboard artillery the use of the 220mm Long Tom. That irks me, because the Long Tom was a 155mm gun developed before the US entered WW2, and that served for decades after. It was the gun used to develop the current series of self-propelled 155mm howitzers. It's a fine gun, but it deserves to be treated with some respect as a piece of military history.
While DUST is running an alternate history, using the name of an actual weapon developed before the shift from real history is tacky. It is like calling the P-51 Mustang the Corsair, or switching the names of the Tiger and Panther tanks. It reeks of someone who wanted to try and add some historical 'validity' to their units, but couldn't be bothered to actually see what the names they were using actually belonged to. Tacky is the best I can use to describe the situation.
Flames of War succeeded in turning me off completely when they came out with rules for the 'most decorated soldiers of WW2' and didn't bother to mention Audie Murphy. If you're going to use historical terms and concepts for a pseudo-historical game, at least try to get them right.
As for the length of the rules, they may well not be a major issue. Depending on the number and size of pictures and examples, and how they present different units, I've seen rule books go over 100 pages with less than 20 of actual, functional rules concepts. I've seen others that went over 200 pages with lots of meat to the rules, but were also fairly easy to work with once you started playing with them.
I hope Warfare will be an interesting and fun alternative to playing Tactics. I'm just worrying about whether it will be worth as I see and hear more about it. Fortunately, Tactics is easy to learn and play, and should hopefully remain a viable game even if Warfare falls flat.

With all due respect, if you want a historically-accurate game, you can always play Flames of War or Rapidfire or wathever.
This preview, as I see it, is cool but I think somewhat incomplete. I think armies will be made selecting em from several "pages". The page we see now is COMBAT PLATOON, but I think there may be a page for I dont know, Air Forces, Amphibian Assault, Mechanized Platoon, etc; and every page will give you different options and restrictions on how to assemble your forces. And every kind of army will hace an inherent power, just like the Combat Platoon has the Fire for Effect Special Order.
Anyway thats what I think. I believe this game will really rock.
Posted 30 March 2012 - 06:47 PM
If I want a historically accurate game, there is no way I would come anywhere near Flames of War. It's historical accuracy is pathetic.
As I noted, I take issue with using the name of a real weapon for something completely different than what it was. That isn't just a desirte for historical accuracy. That's a desire to treat historical icons with some level of respect. Not everyone recognizes the Long Tom, but why insult the memory of the weapon for those that do?
I would be just as disappointed if they decided the P-51 should be called the Corsair, or the Me109 the Spitfire.
I would be equally frustrated if they swapped the names of the Tiger and Panther.
I wouldn't like it if they called the Axis anti-tank rocket the Bazooka, and the Allied option the Panzerschreck.
I'd be unimpressed if they decided Rommel was instead an incompetent Austrian Corporal with dillusions of grandeur but a magnetic personality.
If they are going to use historical names, they should use the historical item the name is for. Using names they've heard without consideration of what those names are about is idiocy.
If they wind up giving each platoon type some different special ability, with little concern for how platoons should be constructed for functional use by players of both casual and competitive interest levels, I know I'll be passing on Warfare.
If I wanted special rules just for the sake of special rules, with little concern for logical structure or functional game play, I could go play 40K or FoW.
I want a good game for DUST that can appeal to both the sci-fi and historical elements DUST addresses as a setting. Special rules that make objective based scenarios difficult to balance will destroy a lot of that capability that has already been given to us with Tactics. Special rules for some units that apply capabilities most units from all armies would have available to a limited set of options does not help game balance or believability.
Stealing historical names and applying them to other things simply so the name is used does not raise my hopes on the level of effort actually applied to Warfare.
I want Warfare to rock, but what I'm seeing is not giving me reason for excitement.

Complaint noted. Move on.
Posted 31 March 2012 - 02:09 AM
I odnt know why we are even griping about anything. We have seen one page. One lousy page. For all we know you are allowed to build a force without taking a platoon formation, but in doing so you dont get the special tactic or even price breaks (maybe each build-platoon style will have different costs for differennt units?).
Posted 31 March 2012 - 02:28 AM
No griping here - I'm more excited about this game than ever now that I've seen some actual details about it come out.
Posted 31 March 2012 - 04:47 AM
I am hoping there will be a list for an armored Platoon. Which would equate to character walkers or not yet seen Hero Pilots.
Posted 31 March 2012 - 06:05 AM
yes! they really need to have armoured platoons also. this first platoon example is very infantry oriented as its probably meant to be the basic combat unit. I would like to see a platoon of pounders or ludwigs too though, maybe they can get support infantry like panzergrenadiers.
I too am not sure about the platoon either having to have a command squad or hero. I have only one command squad and some of the heroes are abit silly.
I really like the off board. artillery option. i really kind of think thats how they should have handled aircraft too at a game this scale.

TELANDER: Bulls doing their best, but LeBron gives Heat edge it needs
BY RICK TELANDER firstname.lastname@example.com May 11, 2013 12:54AM
Coach Tom Thibodeau makes his way off the court after the Bulls' loss Friday to the Heat in Game 3 at the United Center. |Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: June 13, 2013 6:35PM
Something about this isn't fair.
Three of the Bulls' starters in Game 3 on Friday against the Miami Heat — Jimmy Butler, Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson — would be bench guys in a fair world.
Where are Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng and, as ever, Derrick Rose? All injured.
Oh, and once-counted-on scorer Richard Hamilton? Brittle, antique.
The world isn't fair, kids. And the Bulls can't make it fair just by being dumb-ass pseudo-thugs on the court. (Note: Those guys in the stripes are referees. They might not be right, but they will throw you out of the game, if needed. Listening, Nazr Mohammed?)
The Heat, on the other hand, has everybody it needs in a series it now leads 2-1. Everybody it planned on having, including the most valuable player.
Indeed, the crowd at the United Center booed lustily every time Heat star LeBron James touched the ball. It was symbolic stuff: Boo the guy who makes life unfair, the kid who has more toys than you.
The bowlegged, muscle-bound James is so big, for instance, that he makes Butler — who guards him and is 6-7 and 220 pounds — look like a cape. And James' skills are such that he dominates even when he's harassed into a mediocre shooting game (6-for-17).
Why do you think Heat players such as Chris Bosh (20 points, 19 rebounds) and Norris Cole (18 points on 6-for-7 shooting, including 3-for-3 from three-point range) did so well? It's because James plays basketball more like a pistol quarterback than anybody ever has. He looks over the line, heads for the goal, puts his huge shoulders down and makes things happen.
''Why doesn't he do this? Why doesn't he do that?'' people ask.
In the end, he does it all.
And all questions should start with this: Why did Mohammed have to retaliate after running into James near midcourt? Mohammed had started it by grabbing James, then James flicked him off like a bug. Then Mohammed pushed James hard to the floor.
So not needed. James got a technical foul, and so did Mohammed. But Mohammed was ejected, and the Bulls' bench was down one more player.
''Guys jumping on Nate's face?'' Mohammed said as to why he got mad. ''Guys tackling Marco Belinelli out of bounds?''
True. But guess who didn't respond wildly? James. He stayed in the game and led all scorers with 25 points. He was 11-for-11 from the free-throw line and had eight rebounds and seven assists.
This series is going to be rough. Everybody knows that.
It already is rough, with technicals flying. And the flowered circular saw that is Chris ''Birdman'' Andersen means there might be hair-shellac wounds at any moment.
But rough and smart is one thing; rough and dumb is another. Getting tossed after playing 21/2 minutes isn't smart.
Belinelli could have posterized James with a dunk that clanged off the back of the rim in the first half. How cool would that have been to show future generations of Bolognans?
And late in the third quarter, the 5-9 Robinson actually blocked a driving layup by James. Hoo-ha, Nate!
But none of it mattered in the Heat's 104-94 victory.
Think about how good Robinson would be off the bench? Imagine the energy. And dropping the fine-shooting Belinelli in for 20 minutes a game, instead of the 43:03 he played Friday, would be sweet. But 60 percent of the Bulls' starting lineup are reserves.
To their credit, the Bulls won't quit. We love that. But it's not the refs who are losing this series.
Coach Tom Thibodeau, though, was about ready to explode at the officials.
''From my end, I saw guys basically flop,'' he snarled of the Heat. ''I don't get it. I don't get it.''
Was he mad at Mohammed for his needless shove?
''No, no, no,'' he said.
Repetition made the point.
The bad vibes started flowing in Game 2 in Miami, highlighted when a Palm Beach bimbo named Filomena Tobias gave the finger to Joakim Noah as he was led off court. The ugly photo went viral.
All the rest of us know is that Tobias' wealthy hedge-fund husband, Seth, was found dead in a pool about six years ago. The New York Times had this to say in its Nov. 4, 2007, edition: ''A former assistant to Seth Tobias has told the police that Filomena Tobias confessed to him that she had cajoled her husband, who was on a cocaine binge, into the water, promising him sex with a male
go-go dancer known as 'Tiger.' ''
Could we make this up?
Could we make up LeBron James?
Could we make Rose, Hinrich and Deng healthy?
Wish on.

A new group of scholars was tapped by the Kauffman Foundation for fellowships in entrepreneurship research. Each fellow's university will receive a grant of $35,000 over two years to support their research activities. The Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellowship in Entrepreneurship Research (KJFF) program recognizes junior faculty members in the United States whose research has the potential to make significant contributions to the body of literature in entrepreneurship.
Earlier this year, the Kauffman Foundation began to publish occasional Entrepreneurship Policy Digests to examine research and findings on policy issues that move the needle on new firm formation and economic growth at the state and federal levels. The digests cover actionable policy resources and recommendations -- and now you can sign up to receive a direct notification when a new digest is available.

It has been a while, so we thought we should check in on the Small Business Optimism Index compiled by the National Federation of Independent Businesses. The last time we highlighted the index, it showed entrepreneurs' confidence trending higher overall but slipping somewhat in the fall of 2013. Since that point, entrepreneurs appear to have rallied and are feeling a bit better about their prospects – but that still looks to be more like cautious optimism than a full-fledged celebration.

While technology and the viral nature of social media has made it possible to launch a startup with a global reach from day one, the funding to enable those startups still comes a lot closer to home. According to the latest Halo Report (Q1 2014) on angel investing, three out of every four angel deals are between an investor and company in the same state -- and the average size of those deals ($1.23M) is on the rise. That is good news for entrepreneurs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin – who are seeing an increasing amount of deals and dollars lately.

Post subject: Happy Mother's Day!
Even though the number of forum members with children is probably pretty low, and most of our forumites are young 20 somethings getting out of university, without kids...
Mother's day is one of those arbitrary holidays. Mothers don't exist only one day a year. They mend scrapes, heal cuts, and kiss boo boos all better all 365 days. They don't use special cards, they don't get to close down the aisle that contains 3AM phone calls crying because of bad decisions. They don't get to run 50% markdown specials on the time investment in their children.
Mother's Day is one day out of the year, but mothers are there every day of every year - even if they're only in our hearts and memories. So, yes, take some time to tell your mother you love her today. But make sure you do it tomorrow, too. And the next day. And keep doing it every day, because there's never a promise that tomorrow will come. Life is as fragile as it is beautiful. And it most certainly

I believe that it would need to be said implies a certain measure of cynicism. Then again if someone needs to be told perhaps the emotions it's meant to hook onto aren't there in the first place, or are expressed dramatically differently.
Part of me kind of agrees with the sentiment - at least in so far as it's regrettable to let someone leave the house after an argument all annoyed. After all just think how much you'd regret it if they ended up creamed across all three lanes of the motorway and that was the last thing you ever said to them. But another part of me notes that if you're not prepared to hurt people they'll walk all over you; love carried to extremes dramatically weakens your hand.

It's graduation day at the Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, and the audience for the demos–heavy on the enterprise offerings, but with a buzzy online dating startup spicing up the proceedings–was the biggest we've seen it.

The Colts improved to a perfect 6-0 by blasting the Briarfield Academy Rebels 64-28. Bayou pushed its district record to 2-0 mark.
Bayou played well through out the entire night especially on defense. Even when Bayou emptied the bench in the fourth quarter, the Colts were still able to hold the Rebels to just three points in the final period. Bayou led 15-7 after the first quarter and 36-17 at halftime. The Colts were never in any serious trouble.
"This group plays well as a whole team," Colts head coach Winn Scott said. "A lot of these guys came up from the junior high last year and were starters last year so they know how to play. It makes it easy to sub because I have lots of guys that come off the bench and keep it going like it was if the starters were in there."
The Colts were well balanced on offense. Caleb Pilgrim led Bayou with 13 points, followed by Michael Portner with nine, Tyler Kitchings with eight, Chantz Arbuckle and Christian Collins with seven each and Peyton Aldridge with six.
In the high school girls game and the junior high boys and girls games between Bayou and Briarfield, it was pretty much the same story.
In the girls game, the Lady Colts did have a battle on their hands, but they defeated the Lady Rebels 43-36. Bayou improved to 4-4 with a 1-1 mark in the district. Anna Grace Cummins led the Lady Colts with 16 points, followed by Taylor Ann Bailey with 11 and Carley Brock with seven.
In junior high girls action, Bayou blasted Briarfield 36-13. The Lady Colts led 24-5 at halftime. Bayou improved to 6-3 with a perfect 2-0 mark in the district. Carley Peden led the Lady Colts with 12 points, followed by Brantley Hutchinson and Ashley Vickers with eight each.
In junior high boys action, the Colts remained perfect at 6-0 with a 2-0 mark in the district by winning 49-10. Bayou had many players that contributed to the scoring. Nat Jones and Josh Willingham led the Colts with eight points each, followed by Tamer Marble, Griff Roberts, Kamien Gray and Peyton Chambers with six each.
All Bayou junior high and high school teams will return to action on Thursday when they host Delta Academy. The junior high girls will start first at 4 p.m., followed by the junior high boys, high school girls and high school boys.
