Can anyone list some nurseries between Syracuse and the Canandaigua area? Is there one that might carry jasmine for indoor growing? I'm planning a trip in the fall. |

I am not from your area, but you can start by looking at the FAQ 'Favorite Nursery". Here is the link. This list was compiled about 18 months ago, but it might be helpful. I do have a jasmine sambac that I bring in during the winter. I got it about 5 years ago at ? Home Depot, I believe. Anne-Marie |

Victor is not far from Canandaigua and Bristol Nursery has a large selection. If you are into maples, Oriental supply is close by. |
Bristol Nursery would be a likely place to look. Also, Flowers by Stella, North of Canandaigua on Rte. 332. They have lots of house plants. Jim |

Johnstown Free Medical Clinic receives grant to expand services
By: Kerri Corrado
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -- The Johnstown Free Medical Clinic, located in downtown Johnstown, received a $66,000 grant to expand its medical services from the Department of Health after operating on a limited budget.
The Physician General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will visit the clinic on March 18, in hopes of increasing medical help throughout our area.
The medical staff is volunteers, providing free services and prescriptions to more than 600 people a year.
"Knowing the need in this community for low income uninsured people, we will be able to provide additional services to them, Executive Director of the Johnstown Free Medical Clinic Rosealie Danchanko said.
Danchanko says many times people are choosing between food and medication, hoping this grant will greatly help those who seek medical attention.
"This grant gives us opportunity to expand our services. We have been operating on a limited budget with limited staff, Danchanko said.
The grant will help keep the clinic doors open for longer hours, allowing the staff to help more patients, and a physician assistant will be on hand.
Russel Verbano says he was suffering with high blood pressure and diabetes, but now 11 months later its controlled.
"The reason why I am here, my very essence, every fiber in my body is here because the clinic saved my life, Verbano said.
He says and his heart goes out to the staff that stood by his side, welcoming him with open arms to the clinic.
Everyone should wear sunglasses and the reason for that is that you will be blinded by the volunteers halos, he added.
To make an appointment, call the Johnstown free medical clinic at (814) 534-6242. You must have proof of income and no insurance.

Man Utd 2-2 West Brom
A mistake from Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar proved costly as his side were held to a draw by West Brom.Wayne Rooney started on the bench for United but they went 2-0 up when Javier Hernandez pounced on a parried save to slot in before Nani steered in a shot. A Nemanja Vidic header hit the Baggies post but the visitors scored when Patrice Evra diverted a Chris Brunt free-kick into his own net. Van der Sar then dropped a Brunt cross to allow Somen Tchoyi to equalise. Rooney had.... read more

Saturday's Tip Sheet
From noon until 6:00 p.m. Eastern, there are nine college basketball games on television. No college football? No problem!
Let's take a look at a couple of the more interesting matchups.
**Davidson at UCLA
--UCLA (7-1 straight up, 4-2-2 against the spread) is in bounce-back mode following its first loss of the season, a 63-61 defeat to Texas as a 10-point home favorite. After missing six consecutive games, UCLA sophomore guard Darren Collison returned to the lineup with 12 points and five assists. However, he missed 10 of his 14 shots from the floor. Freshman Kevin Love had only 11 points and five rebounds and was benched by Ben Howland at crunch time.
--Most sports books have installed UCLA as a 13-point favorite.
--Davidson (3-4 SU, 3-2 ATS) covered the spread and nearly pulled upsets in games against North Carolina (in Charlotte) and at Duke. However, the Wildcats have disappointing losses at Charlotte and at Western Michigan. They are off a 75-68 loss to the 49ers as 5 ½-point road 'chalk.'
--Davidson has one of the nation's premier backcourts with senior point guard Jason Richards and sophomore sensation Stephen Curry, who is the son of Dell Curry, one of the NBA's best all-time 3-point shooters. Curry scored 32 points in the losing effort against Charlotte, while Richards had 11 points and 12 assists.
--Curry is third in the nation in scoring, averaging 26.0 points per game. Richards leads the nation in assists, dishing out 9.4 per game.
--Despite struggling against the Longhorns, Love has been outstanding for the Bruins. He averages a team-high 17.9 PPG and 9.9 RPG.
--The 'under' is 3-2 for Davidson this year, 6-2 for UCLA.
Bob McKillop's team is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 road games. In addition, Davidson has a 24-10-1 spread record in its last 35 games.
--UCLA has a pair of quality wins on its resume, beating both Maryland and Michigan State on a neutral court while Collison was in street clothes.
--Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Eastern.
**Marquette at Wisconsin**
--Most spots are listing Wisconsin (6-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) as a four-point favorite. Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened the total at 135.
--The Badgers have won three of the last four head-to-head meetings against Marquette, but the Golden Eagles have taken the cash in five of the last eight encounters.
--Marquette (5-1 SU, 3-1 ATS) is off a 100-65 victory over UW-Milwaukee as an 18 ½-point home 'chalk.' Dominic James paced the Golden Eagles with 22 points, five assists and four steals.
--Duke is the only team that has beaten either of these schools this season. The Blue Devils edged Marquette 70-66 at the Maui Classic, and they destroyed Wisconsin 82-58 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
--Marquette's Dan Fitzgerald is "questionable" with a strained wrist. He averages only 5.4 PPG so far this year, but Fitzgerald is a guy that can score, as evidenced by his 40 combined points in a pair of games at the Big East Tournament last season.
--Dating back to last season, the 'over' is on a 15-6 run for Marquette.
--The 'under' has cashed in five straight Wisconsin-Marquette meetings, including the Badgers 70-66 win over the Golden Eagles as 3 ½-point road underdogs.
--ESPN2 will provide television coverage at 6:00 p.m. Eastern.
Re: Betting News and Notes -Dec 8th
(22) Arizona (5-2, 3-2 ATS) vs. Illinois (5-2, 2-5 ATS), at Chicago
Arizona takes the floor for the first time since longtime coach Lute Olson announced he's taking the entire year off as the Wildcats visits the United Center in Chicago for a Pac-10/Big Ten battle with Illinois.
Olson, who hadn't been with the Wildcats since taking an indefinite leave of absence on Nov. 4 to tend to personal family matters, said Thursday those personal issues would keep him away from the program for the remainder of the season. In Olson's absence, assistant Kevin O'Neill will continue to guide the team.
With O'Neill at the helm, the Wildcats bounced back from their first loss of the season – a 76-72 overtime setback at Kansas – with consecutive double-digit wins over Cal-State Fullerton (91-65) and Texas A&M (78-67). Including the loss at Kansas, Arizona has cashed in three straight lined games.
Illinois has alternated wins and losses in its last five games, most recently topping Weber State a week ago today 78-61, coming up just shy as a 22-point home favorite. The Illini are mired in ATS slumps of 5-14 at home, 3-13 in non-conference games and 2-11 on Saturdays.
The Wildcats topped Illinois 84-72 as a 7½-point favorite last year in a game played on neutral floor in Phoenix. The previous season, the teams met in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament, with Illinois prevailing 90-89 in overtime as a five-point favorite to advance to the Final Four.
Going back to 2001, the teams have met four times, with Arizona going 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS.
The under is on runs of 9-2 for Arizona in non-conference games, 7-1 for Arizona on the road and 14-5-2 for Illinois overall. However, the over is 5-0 in the last five series meetings.
Michigan (3-5, 1-6 ATS) at (6) Duke (8-0, 4-3 ATS)
Duke puts its undefeated record on the line when it welcomes slumping Michigan to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a non-conference tussle.
Both teams have been idle since last Saturday, when Duke topped Davidson 79-73, failing as an eight-point favorite on a neutral floor, while Michigan suffered an embarrassing 62-51 loss at Harvard as a seven-point road chalk. The Wolverines have lost three in a row SU and ATS to Harvard, Boston College (77-64) and Western Kentucky (73-69).
Michigan has come up short against the spread in six straight games, including five in a row on the road. Going back to 2005, the Wolverines are 4-17-2 ATS on the highway, and they've been outscored by an average of eight points per game as a visitor this season (68-60).
Duke has been very impressive on its home floor, going 4-0 (3-0 ATS in lined games) and winning by an average of 37 points per game (92-55).
The Blue Devils are 6-2 ATS in their last eight against the Big Ten, including an 82-58 rout of Wisconsin as a nine-point home chalk on Nov. 27 and a 79-66 win over Illinois as a seven-point favorite in the Maui Invitational on Nov. 20.
The under is 19-7 in Duke's last 26 non-conference games, but Michigan has topped the total in six of its last eight on the highway.
DePaul (2-2, 0-2 ATS) at (3) Kansas (8-0, 4-1 ATS)
Kansas seeks to avenge one of its losses from last season while at the same time keeping its perfect record intact when it welcomes DePaul to Allen Fieldhouse for a non-conference matchup.
The Jayhawks posted two wins this week, upending USC 59-55 as a four-point road favorite on Sunday, then hammering Eastern Washington 85-47 and cashing as a 35½-point home chalk on Wednesday.
DePaul has alternated wins and losses in its last four outings, but has not played a game since besting Texas A&M-Corpus Christie 85-70 on Nov. 28 in a non-lined home game.
The Blue Demons stunned Kansas last year, winning 64-57 as a nine-point home underdog.
Seven of the Jayhawks' eight wins this season have come at home, and they're 4-1 ATS in lined contests at Allen Fieldhouse, where they're averaging 88 points per game and giving up just 59.
Kansas is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 Saturday tip-offs and 0-4 in its last four against Big East foes.
The Blue Demons are on ATS runs of 8-3 in non-conference games, 4-1 against the Big 12 and 12-4 on Saturdays.
The Jayhawks have stayed under the total in five consecutive games, and the under is 21-7-1 in its last 29 non-conference contests.
ATS ADVANTAGE: DePAUL and UNDER
Wake Forest (5-2, 3-1 ATS) at Georgia (5-1, 1-2 ATS)
A pair of southern teams off to solid starts meet up in a non-conference battle, as Georgia hosts Wake Forest.
The Demon Deacons have alternated wins and losses in their last four contests. On Wednesday, they traveled to Vanderbilt and suffered a tough 83-80 loss, but cashed as an 11½-point road underdog.
Georgia is coming off consecutive less-than-impressive home wins over Delaware State (58-47) and Augusta College (81-74), two non-lined teams. All five of the Bulldogs wins have come at home (1-1 ATS), but all against inferior competition. In its lone game against an upper-echelon Division I program, Georgia got crushed 68-49 at Wisconsin as an 11-point road underdog.
Wake Forest is 1-2 on the highway (2-1 ATS), but 7-2 ATS in its last nine against SEC foes.
The Dawgs are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games, 1-7 ATS in their last eight non-league contests and 2-5 ATS in their last seven against ACC foes.
These teams met last year on Wake Forest's home floor, and the Demon Deacons escaped with an 87-86 victory, but Georgia covered as a 2½-point road underdog.
The under is 11-4 in Wake's last 15 road games.
(13) Pittsburgh (8-0, 3-1 ATS) at Washington (4-3, 0-6 ATS)
Pitt takes its perfect record across the country when it meets struggling Washington in a non-league game.
The Panthers hit the road for the first time on Wednesday and escaped with a narrow 73-68 win at Duquesne, barely covering as a 4½-point favorite. It was the first time all year that Pitt failed to win by double digits.
Washington dropped to 1-3 in its last four games after last Saturday's 96-71 blowout loss at Oklahoma State as a 3½-point road underdog. The Huskies are 4-0 at home, but 0-3 ATS in lined games. In fact, they've yet to cover a spread in six lined games this season.
These teams met at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh back in February, with the Panthers rallying for 65-61 victory, coming up way short as a 13-point home chalk.
Pitt is just 2-5 in its last seven road contests.
The over is 6-1 in Washington's last seven lined games overall and 23-9 in Pitt's last 32 Saturday games.
ATS ADVANTAGE: PITT and OVER
(9) Michigan State (7-1, 2-1 ATS) at (21) BYU (7-1, 4-2 ATS), Salt Lake City
One of the day's more intriguing matchups comes from Salt Lake City, where BYU makes the short trip down the road from Provo, Utah, to take on Michigan State in a battle of one-loss teams.
The Spartans have ripped off four straight wins since falling to then-No. 2 UCLA in a preseason tournament in Kansas City back on Nov. 12. Most recently, the Spartans held off Bradley 66-61 on Tuesday, barely covering as a five-point road favorite.
BYU's only loss came against then-No. 1 North Carolina 73-63 in a preseason tournament in Las Vegas on Nov. 24. Since then, the Cougars have scored consecutive wins, including topping Weber State 72-57 on Wednesday, falling shy as a 22-point home favorite.
These teams met in Detroit last year, and the Spartans cruised 76-61 as an eight-point favorite. The Cougars shot just 41.8 percent from the field, missing 17 of 21 three-point attempts, while Michigan State shot 51 percent overall and 43.8 percent from three-point land.
The Spartans have played twice away from home this year, going 1-1 SU and 0-0-1 ATS, with the push coming as a five-point underdog in the game against UCLA.
This is technically a neutral-site game, and BYU is 3-1 SU and ATS away from home. Overall, the Cougars are on a 9-3 ATS run.
The under is 8-3 in BYU's last 11 non-conference games and 12-4-1 in Michigan State's last 17 on the road.
Kentucky (4-2, 0-1 ATS) at (15) Indiana (7-1, 3-4 ATS)
Highly-touted freshman Eric Gordon is expected to lead 15th-ranked Indiana against Kentucky in an annual intersectional non-conference showdown.
Gordon entered this week as the nation's second-leading scorer at 26.6 points per game, but he was held to a season-low eight points in Monday's 84-72 victory over Tennessee State, forced out of the game late in the first half with a back injury. The Hoosiers failed to cash as a 26-point home favorite in Monday's contest, dropping to 1-3 ATS in their last four.
Kentucky had its three-game winning streak snapped in last Saturday's 86-77 home loss to North Carolina. The Wildcats, who opened the season with four straight non-lined games, came up just short as an eight-point underdog against the Tar Heels.
Kentucky got past Indiana last year, winning 59-54 and pushing as a five-point home favorite. The Wildcats are 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings and 6-1 ATS in the last seven. The chalk has cashed in seven of the last eight series meetings.
This is the Wildcats' first trip away from home of the season, and they ended last year in a 1-5 ATS slump on the road. Meanwhile, Indiana is 5-0 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington this year, but 1-3 ATS.
The Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS in their last six against SEC foes, while Kentucky is just 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven non-league games.
The under is on runs of 5-1 in this rivalry, 8-1 for Indiana against the SEC and 10-3 when Kentucky plays on Saturday.
ATS ADVANTAGE: INDIANA and UNDER
(11) Marquette (5-1, 3-0 ATS) at Wisconsin (6-1, 3-1 ATS)
Marquette looks to end a two-losing streak to Wisconsin when these instate rivals play their annual non-conference contest, with this one taking place on the Badgers' home court in Madison, Wis.
The Golden Eagles lost to Wisconsin 70-66 as a 3½-point home favorite last year after falling to the Badgers 77-63 as a 10-point road underdog in 2005. Prior to last season, the home team had won five consecutive meetings (4-1 ATS).
Marquette rebounded from its only loss of the season – a 77-73 defeat to Duke in the finals of the Maui Invitational back on Nov. 21 – with a 100-65 rout of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in its most recent contest on Nov. 23. The Eagles covered as a 17½-point home favorite, improving to 3-0 ATS in the last three.
Like Marquette, the Badgers' only loss this season came at the hands of Duke, an ugly 82-58 drubbing as a nine-point underdog on Nov. 27 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Badgers did bounce back from that setback on Monday, pummeling Wofford 70-43, eking out the cover as a 25½-point home chalk.
The Golden Eagles are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five Saturday tip-offs.
Wisconsin is on ATS runs of 5-1-1 at home and 4-1 against Big East opponents.
The underdog has cashed in six of the last eight series meetings.
The under is 5-0 in the last five head-to-head battles.
ATS ADVANTAGE: WISCONSIN and UNDER
(13) Butler (8-0, 6-2 ATS) at Wright State (2-2, 1-2 ATS)
Butler figures to have payback in mind when it travels to Wright State for an early showdown between teams that finished 1-2 in the Horizon League last year and qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
The Bulldogs crushed Wright State 73-42 in the first meeting last year, easily covering as a 15-point home favorite. However, with the regular-season conference title on the line, the Raiders got revenge a month later with a 77-65 win as a four-point home underdog, then prevailed 60-55 over Butler as a 1½-point home 'dog in the Horizon League tournament championship game.
The home team has won each of the last seven meetings, but Wright State is 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS in the last 10 clashes.
Butler remained unbeaten with Thursday's 53-46 win over Detroit in the Horizon League opener for both teams. However, the Bulldogs came up short against the number as a 10½-point road chalk. Still, Butler is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 overall, including 7-2 ATS away from home. Going back further, the Bulldogs have cashed in 19 of their last 26 contests.
Wright State opened Horizon League play with Thursday's 71-66 home loss to Valparaiso as a 1½-point home favorite, the Raiders' second consecutive SU and ATS defeat.
The Raiders are 2-1 at home (1-1 ATS), while Butler is 5-0 on the highway (4-1 ATS).
The under is 7-1 in Butler's last eight lined road games, but Wright State has topped the total in four consecutive lined contests.

Auburn's Hargrove, Sylla out 4-6 weeks
December 7, 2007
Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Auburn forward Lucas Hargrove and center Boubacar Sylla are out for 4-6 weeks with injuries, coach Jeff Lebo said Friday.
Hargrove broke his left, non-shooting hand in practice while Sylla sustained an injury to his left ankle against Kennesaw State Nov. 13.
"I feel badly for both Lucas and Boubacar," Lebo said. "These injuries severely limit what we can do as a team."
The Tigers, in the midst of a 10-day break in between games for final exams, are down to only seven available scholarship players again. Forward Quan Prowell just returned from suspension in time for Wednesday night's loss to West Virginia.
Hargrove has appeared in all six games, averaging 4.8 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 60 percent from the field.
Sylla, a freshman, had three points and three rebounds against Kennesaw State. He has missed the last three games.

Michigan PG Smith will miss Duke game for academic reasons
December 7, 2007
Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan point guard Jerret Smith will miss Saturday's game at Duke so he can complete some academic obligations.
"When Jerret and our academic support staff feel he has caught up with some very important academic requirements, we will meet to re-evaluate his status for future games," coach John Beilein said in a written statement issued Friday by the university.
Smith was suspended for the season opener against Radford for violating a team policy regarding class attendance.
Smith has played in 65 games during his college career, including 13 starts. The junior has averaged 4.2 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game in his career.

What to watch: College basketball bettors' TV guide
Though the college basketball schedule is more than five weeks old, it doesn't officially feel like hoops heaven until that first big Saturday.
My first TV Guide for college basketball bettors appears below.
No. 24 Arizona Wildcats at Illinois Fighting Illini (12 p.m. ET, ESPN)
Arizona coach Lute Olson put an end to speculation surrounding his return this week by announcing he would not return for the entire season. While the Arizona players were disappointed to lose the coaching great, they have accepted interim head coach Kevin O'Neill.
O'Neill, a former NBA coach, has integrated a hard-nosed defense and pro-style offensive sets into Olson's classic systems. The style has led the Wildcats to a 5-2 record, including their most recent win over Texas A&M.
Michigan Wolverines at No. 7 Duke Blue Devils (2 p.m. ET, CBS)
Anyone who wagered on Dukes last game against Davidson watched the Blue Devils' defense almost relinquish a 16-point lead. The Wildcats pulled as close as two points before dropping a 79-73 decision as an 8-point underdog.
This week, coach Mike Krzyzewski will focus on tightening up his team's defense. Since the Blue Devils' fast-paced offense is averaging more than 85 points per game, a solid defensive effort would shut down a Michigan team that is averaging just 64.5 points.
DePaul Blue Demons at No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks (2 p.m. ET, ESPN)
Thursday was a busy day for Kansas swingman Brandon Rush. The junior was arrested on two outstanding warrants, put in jail, released on bond and still made it to practice.
Head coach Bill Self told reporters he's not suspending Rush, who recently returned from offseason knee surgery. Self expects Rush to play this Saturday.
Dayton Flyers at No. 11 Louisville Cardinals (2 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
Louisville's Rick Pitino is on the verge of 500 career coaching wins. The former Boston University, Providence and Kentucky mentor has a record of 499-183 over 22 seasons.
No. 500 won't come easy. The Cards have lost the past two meetings with the Flyers, including last season's 68-64 shocker as a five-point road favorite. Dayton has won five straight games heading into this Saturday's showdown in Freedom Hall.
Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones (2 p.m. ET, ESPNU)
Despite Todd Lickliter's best intentions, Iowa junior Tony Freeman is back on the court after breaking his foot in early November. The first-year Hawkeyes coach tried to play it safe with his star player by bringing him off the bench this past week against Northern Iowa.
Freeman played 24 minutes and scored 15 points, shot 5-for-7 from the field, 3-for-3 from beyond the arc and added both free throw attempts.
No. 9 Pittsburgh Panthers at Washington Huskies (3 p.m. ET, FSN)
The Huskies are the worst bet in college hoops thanks to starting the season 0-6 ATS. Washington, 4-3, is coming of a blow-out loss against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
The wheels are falling off the bus in Seattle. Head coach Lorenzo Romar just watched sophomore Adrian Oliver walk away from the program this week. Romar told reporters he hoped to be further along at this point in the season. Washington's biggest issue is its defense that has allowed 75 points against per game.
Kentucky Wildcats at No. 15 Indiana Hoosiers (4 p.m. ET CBS)
The entire state of Indiana fell silent when freshman Eric Gordon slammed into the floor this past Monday and limped off the court with a bruised back.
The Hoosiers' most prized recruit in years is scoring over 24 points per game, while grabbing 3.5 boards and dishing out 2.6 assists. Gordon is expected to play this Saturday night against Kentucky, which is also dealing with its own freshman drama.
Alex Legion, one of the Wildcats' big recruits, was teetering on leaving the team all week. The freshman swingman originally asked out of his scholarship citing differences with head coach Billy Gillispie. Legion's mother then told reporters her son was having second thoughts. Kentucky has now cut ties with the first-year player.
Purdue Boilermakers at Missouri Tigers (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
The Tigers' "40 minutes of hell" has helped make the over 5-1. Coach Mike Anderson's intense pressure defense has limited the opposition to just 71.1 PPG, while his run-and-gun offense is scoring over 85 PPG.
Missouri's offense is still waiting for one of its big guns to start firing. Sophomore guard Keon Lawrence, who averaged 10.5 points last season, is still ice cold from the field. Anderson says Lawrence is pressing on offense, leading to the second-year man's 41.9 percent shooting over the past five games.
No. 15 Marquette Golden Eagles at No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers (6 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
The Badgers don't want their 28-game home winning streak to end against an in-state rival.
Wisconsin leads the all-team series with Marquette, 62-51, including 7-2 in the last nine. The Badgers went into the Bradley Center last season and registered a 70-66 victory as 3 ½-point road underdogs.
No. 5 Texas Longhorns at Rice Owls (8 p.m. ET, CSTV)
The Horns' talented backcourt combo of A.J. Abrams and D.J. Augustin get most of the props around Austin these days. However, 6-foot-7 sophomore Damion James is quickly becoming a difference maker.
The versatile James is scoring almost 12 points per game an adding almost nine rebounds. As a freshman, James put up solid numbers of 7.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in just over 25 minutes per game.

NBA Gameday
A heavyweight Western Conference clash highlights the Saturday NBA action, as the Utah Jazz take on the Dallas Mavericks. In the Eastern Conference on Saturday, the Boston Celtics take on the bumbling Chicago Bulls, while the Charlotte Hornets will hope to see LeBron James in his street clothes when the Cleveland Cavaliers pay a visit.
Utah at Dallas
The Jazz had their three-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday after losing to Sacramento 117-107 as a 2.5-point road favorite. Deron Williams led the Jazz with 30 points and seven assists, while Carlos Boozer chipped in with his regular double-double, 19 points and 11 rebounds. Utah could be a bit tired on Saturday night after dealing with San Antonio the night before.
Dallas will be looking to bounce back Saturday night after getting pounded by Denver 122-109 as an 8.5-point favorite on Thursday. Dirk Nowitzki tied his season-high points total with 32 to go along with 12 rebounds, but Dallas could not contain Allen Iverson who dumped 35 points and 12 assists on them. Jerry Stackhouse saw his time on the court exceed 30 minutes for the third straight game as he netted a season-high 23 points for Dallas in the loss.
This the first meeting between Utah and Dallas this season. Last year they faced off three times with Utah taking two of three both SU and ATS.
Boston at Chicago
The Celtics entered the weekend on a four-game win streak and should be easily favored when they take on the struggling Bulls in Chicago on Saturday. Boston entertained Toronto on Friday night, making Saturday's contest their third game in four days. Against Philadelphia on Wednesday night, Kevin Garnett poured in 22 points as Boston defeated the 76ers 113-103 as a 10-point favorite. Paul Pierce had 19 points and 12 assists in the win, while Ray Allen had an off-night with 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting.
The Bulls will also be playing their third game in four nights on Saturday, as they clashed with Detroit on Friday night. Chicago may slowly be turning things around after winning three of their last four before heading into Detroit. On Wednesday night, Chicago defeated Charlotte 91-82 as a 1-point favorite behind a season-high 30 points from Luol Deng. Andres Nocioni added 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Chris Duhon continued to make a push for the starting point guard spot with 12 points and nine assists.
This is the first time the Bulls will play the new-look Celtics this season. Last year, when Boston was awful and Chicago was good, the Bulls beat the Celtics three times while going 2-1 ATS.
Cleveland at Charlotte
Even if LeBron James doesn't return from an injured finger on Saturday, the Cavaliers may get just what they need to snap their current losing streak when they face the Bobcats. Both Cleveland and Charlotte are riding losing streaks right now. Without LeBron in the lineup the Cavaliers have lost their last four games. The Bobcats are currently on a seven-game losing streak, but they can't blame an injury to a star player like Cleveland can.
The Cavaliers' latest loss came on Wednesday when they were hammered by Washington 105-86 as a 9.5-point underdog. Daniel Gibson, Drew Gooden and Shannon Brown each scored 13 points for Cleveland.
The Bobcats dropped their seventh straight on Wednesday in a 91-82 loss to Chicago as a 1-point underdog. Gerald Williams led Charlotte with 22 points and eight rebounds, while Raymond Felton and Jason Richardson each had 17 points.
Last season Cleveland and Charlotte hooked up four times with each team winning two games at home. However, the Bobcats won the spread battle with a 3-1 ATS record.

Re: Betting News and Notes -Dec 8th
Milwaukee's Noel undergoes wrist surgery,Simmons misses game in Seattle
SEATTLE -- Milwaukee Bucks forward David Noel had surgery on his right wrist Friday, and doctors confirmed he has nothing more than a sprain.
Noel underwent the surgery at the University of North Carolina Orthopedics in Chapel Hill, N.C. Noel has been inactive in all 17 games this season, and injured his wrist during a practice in Cleveland on Nov. 20.
Noel is expected to miss at least the next four to six weeks.
''There was a chance that it could have been worse ... it could have been a season thing. I'm actually a little optimistic that we got that news,'' Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said.
Milwaukee was also without forward Bobby Simmons, who left the team in Seattle on Thursday and returned to Milwaukee for a personal matter. The Bucks don't know if Simmons will rejoin the team for the final two games of their West Coast road trip. The Bucks play Sunday in Portland and Monday in Sacramento before returning home.
Re: Betting News and Notes -Dec 8th
Damon Stoudamire sidelined by flu
NEW ORLEANS -- Memphis guard Damon Stoudamire missed Friday night's game between the Grizzlies and New Orleans Hornets because of what team officials said was the flu.
Stoudamire had started all of Memphis' previous 18 games, averaging 8.2 points and 4.6 assists, while leading the Grizzlies in field goal percentage (57.1 percent).
Kyle Lowry started in Stoudamre's place.
Re: Betting News and Notes -Dec 8th
James to miss fifth straight game with sprained finger
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James didn't practice Friday and will miss his fifth straight game with a sprained left index finger when the Cavaliers play Saturday night at Charlotte.
In speaking to reporters for the first time since he sprained the finger at Detroit on Nov. 28, when Nazr Mohammed slapped at the ball as he attempted to shoot, James had a message for the Cavaliers' opponents.
''Teams better get their wins now,'' he said. ''They try to kill us and talk trash about us now ... When we get our guys back, it's going to be a different story.''
The defending Eastern Conference champions have also been without Larry Hughes (bone bruise), Donyell Marshall (sprained right wrist) and Anderson Varejao (contract holdout). The Cavaliers (9-11) have been beaten by an average margin of nearly 19 points in their losing streak.
''It's definitely tough because we're struggling right now with me not being out there,'' James said. ''I want to go out and help the guys.''
James' finger is stiff and he is being cautious with the sprain, which is on top of his knuckle.
''You don't want to make it long term. I'm trying to take care of it, so if I get hit again, I don't have to sit again,'' he said.
It's the longest stretch of games that James has missed and the most in a season. But if it were late April, he'd be playing.
''If it was a time we needed these games more than anything, I'd be out there,'' he said.
Hughes practiced Friday for the first time in weeks and is listed as questionable for Saturday night. The fragile guard injured his left leg Nov. 4 at Phoenix when he collided with Leandro Barbosa.
''If there's no problem tomorrow, there's a good chance I could get out there and play,'' he said.
Varejao rejoined the team Friday, two days after Cleveland matched Charlotte's $17 million, three-year offer sheet for the restricted free agent. Varejao didn't practice Friday and has to work out visa issues before he can play.
He could return Tuesday at home against Indiana. He acknowledged he's not in basketball shape.
''I'm here. I'm going to try to help the team as much as I can,'' he said.
He should be able to improve a defense that's allowed an average of 101.4 points in 20 games compared with 92.9 points per game last season.
James is the only remedy for everything else that's ailing the Cavaliers - no offense and a lack of focus.
''It's just whenever I feel I'm comfortable to go back out there and my hand feels a little bit better, I'm going to give it a go,'' he said. ''It's not like I'm just taking my time.''

Saturday's NBA betting matchup notes
Cleveland Cavaliers at Charlotte Bobcats
The Bobcats won both of their home games against Cleveland last season.
Memphis Grizzlies at Atlanta Hawks
Pau Gasol struggled in two games against Atlanta in 2006-07, averaging 7.0 points and 3.5 rebounds, although one of the contests was his first game of the season after missing the first 22 with a broken left foot. The Hawks won both of those meetings after losing their previous six games against the Grizzlies.
Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks
The Knicks (6-12) suffered their sixth straight defeat in Philadelphia. New York has dropped two of its last three against the Sixers (6-13) in New York following a six-game winning streak there.
Phoenix Suns at Minneosta Timberwolves
Phoenix won three of four meetings with Minnesota last season, as Nash averaged 13.8 assists and Marion had a double-doubles in each game.
Boston Celtics at Chicago Bulls
Boston (16-2) lost all three games against Chicago (6-11) last season and recorded its last win against the Bulls on Jan. 29, 2005. Since then, the Celtics haven't beaten the Bulls, but they also didn't have Garnett.
Utah Jazz at Dallas Mavericks

Re: Betting News and Notes -Dec 8th
View from the Bench
By ASA
A month has come and gone in the NBA season with certain players and teams setting trends in the early going. Some players have stepped up their play in helping their teams to strong starts. Others have struggled out of the gate, bringing their team down with them. Here's a little of what we liked in the first month, as well as some things that we didn't like so much.
Stephen Jackson, Golden State Warriors
The volatile one's impact on the Warriors has been a positive once since the first day he set foot in California. His impact goes far beyond the box scores, except for those all important wins. Since joining the Warriors, Golden State is 17-3 in the regular season with him in the lineup. Jackson missed the first seven games of the year due to a suspension and the Warriors proceeded to go 1-6 (2-5 ATS) in those contests. Since his return, Golden State is 9-2 (8-3 ATS). Jackson fits perfect into Don Nelson's offensive philosophy while also being the Warriors' best perimeter defender. Golden State is making last season's playoff upset of Dallas look legit as this team appears to be for real, due in large part to Jackson.
Raymond Felton, Charlotte Bobcats
The offseason acquisition of Jason Richardson, along with the development of their young nucleus, was supposed to lift the Bobcats into playoff contention. That hasn't happened and a big part of that has been the lack of development from Felton. While fellow 2005 point guard draftees Chris Paul and Deron Williams are tearing up the league, Felton hasn't made that jump yet. Charlotte has lost seven straight (1-6 ATS) by an average of 11.6 points per game and Felton has been a big part of the problem. He has shot just 29-89 (31%) during the streak and is hitting at a 39 percent clip for the season.
Detroit Pistons roster
The Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic have consumed the Eastern Conference headlines this year and rightfully so. Lost in the shuffle has been the Detroit Pistons. Detroit has won five straight, both SU and ATS, and seven of its last eight games outright. And the Pistons are doing it in the exact same fashion that they've always done it. They may be the most balanced team in the league with eight players averaging at least eight points and no player averaging better than 17 points per game. Also, Detroit has not forgotten how to defend as it is second in the NBA with just 91.9 points allowed per game. The Celtics and Magic may be the talk of the East but don't forget about the Pistons.
Houston Rockets supporting cast
The offseason overhaul made to the Houston supporting cast was supposed to be what put the Rockets over the top this year. So far, though, that supporting cast has been wildly inconsistent and hasn't given Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming the help they need. Since starting the season 6-1, the Rockets have gone 4-8 (5-7 ATS). Over that stretch McGrady and Yao have combined to average 45.3 points per game while the rest of the roster has averaged just 51.2 points per game. While Mike James, Bonzi Wells and Luis Scola have proven capable of having big nights from time to time, they aren't doing it on a consistent enough basis.
Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
A majority of the betting public thought the Wizards were done for when Gilbert Arenas was lost for three months with a knee injury. Washington has stayed afloat, though, due in large part to the play of Butler. The Wizards are 6-3 ATS since Arenas went down and their offense hasn't lost a step, averaging 106.3 points per game in going over the total in eight of the last nine games. Butler has been the catalyst over this stretch, averaging 27.8 points, 6.4 boards, 4.9 assists and 2.3 steals while shooting 56 percent over his last eight games.

Speaker Pelosi. Well, we'll see. I hope...the President is still hopeful that he can get 61 votes. There could be some hope for some bipartisanship as we go forward, and I wish him well with that. I think he's a great President. He strives so long for one solid year, six weeks after his inauguration, he hosted a bipartisan meeting, Democrats, Republicans, House and Senate, outside stakeholders had an interest in quality health care for all Americans and advancing that cause. For one solid year, that was March 5th of last year, for one solid year he has striven for that bipartisanship, took us all through the summer, the fall and to now up until last Thursday. So, what we will, you know what we will do is hope that he can still find 60 votes, but if not, we will have to go the simple majority. And that simple majority confines the issues that we can address.
Q: Can you describe how you are going about courting votes from Members who voted no last time but you might hope to...
Speaker Pelosi. I'll tell you where we are, we are right now freezing the language on the legislation. Once we have that and a report back from the CBO, so it is about the substance. Secondly, we will see what the Senate can do in this regard. And then we will take that substance and that to our Members. But our Membe

.- A new cathedral cloister garden dedicated to the more than 100 Scots-Italians who died in a wartime tragedy has been officially opened by Glasgow's archbishop. The memorial remembers those who were were killed on board the cruise ship 'Arandora Star' in 1940.
Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow, himself a Scots-Italian, says the new monument-- an interactive installation-- is designed to encourage people to "reflect on the great mysteries of life, death and resurrection."
"What people will see and experience on a visit to the garden is a result of the generosity of today's Scots-Italian community who raised the funds to create the installation," said the archbishop as the only remaining survivor of the tragedy, 91-year-old Rando Bertoia, listened to his words.
Most Italians living in the U.K. were detained after the outbreak of the Second World War. The 'Arandora Star' had been taking such internees to Canada. Off the coast of Ireland, though, it was struck by a German torpedo. About 100 Scots-Italians were among the 800 victims of the attack.
The silver-mirrored central monument, which organizers say is the largest in the world dedicated to the tragedy, stands next to a 200-year-old olive tree that was donated by the people of Tuscany, Italy. It sits next to the newly refurbished St. Andrew's Cathedral, which was re-opened only last month after three years of restoration work.
Archbishop Conti was joined for today's inaugurated by Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland, who helped launch the project three years ago.
"This oasis of peace and contemplation at St. Andrew's Cathedral is a magnificent tribute to those who tragically lost their lives aboard the Arandora Star during the Second World War and to the part the Scots-Italian community plays in the rich tartan fabric of our nation."
Also present today was Giulia Chiarini, the Roman architect who designed the garden and monument, as well as the mayors of the Italian towns from which most Scot-Italians hail - Barga and Pistoia in Tuscany and Picinisco and Filignano in the Lazio region.
While the garden was being blessed, Scots-Italian opera singer Luigi Corvi sang Schubert's Ave Maria, accompanied by musicians from Milan.

That's what parents are saying about the "birds and bees" lessons in a new health textbook for high school freshman in Fremont County, California.
Parents say the book mentions sex toys and even bondage and they think it's inappropriate for their young teens. The book is creating a lot of controversy for the Fremont School District.
In less than three weeks, 2,400 9th graders will be using the text book in their health classes, but already more than 1,200 people have signed a petition to pull the book.
The petition claims "Your Health Today" exposes youth to sexual games-- even sexual bondage with handcuffs-- and it is extremely inappropriate for 13 and 14 year olds.

September 2014. The security Think Tank Chatham House has prepared a report based on anonymous briefings with Parliamentarians in London and Edinburgh. The report suggests that "a narrow victory for the No campaign in the Scottish referendum would raise 'major questions' about the future of the United Kingdom ..... A large number of people voting to leave the UK - despite a No victory - could also lead to the Government being forced to relocate the Trident nuclear submarine fleet. Trident is currently based in Scotland. However Alex Salmond, the First Minister, has repeatedly said that Trident could not remain in an independent Scotland. The report said: 'The referendum has highlighted the strong and widely felt Scottish opposition to the basing of Trident in Scotland.' It said that one option 'even in the event of a No vote' was that 'Trident might still need to be moved from Scotland'. The report warned that a vote for independence could also force the rest of the UK to let go of its Trident nuclear deterrent altogether. It said the political and technical demands of relocating Trident to England by a mooted target date of 2020 would not be possible....... 'The additional costs of moving the nuclear submarine bases could re-open the debate over the viability of Trident ...'" (Telegraph online, but the passage marked here in red is excluded.)
April 2014. Secret talks with USA on future of Britain's nuclear arsenal.
January 2014 Quaker briefing: download here
Geoff Reid, a witness to the nuclear disaster at Fukushima who visited Wells in August 2013, was interviewed on BBC Radio 4 on 18th January. Listen here
On the occasion of his 90th birthday Field Marshall Lord Bramall, formerly Chief of the General Staff and "the country's most illustrious retired soldier", was interviewed by The Times (21st December 2013) which commented that "his military experience is unrivalled and his renowned intellect as piercing as ever..... He is scathing about the Cold War mentality that causes successive governments to cling on to the nuclear deterrent. 'It doesn't deter. We don't need it, we can't afford it. Look at 9/11. The US nuclear deterrent didn't deter it, and they didn't use it, they couldn't have.'"
In the House of Lords debate on Trident renewal on 24th January 2013, Field Marshall Lord Bramall had used his final speech to reiterate his view - shared by other generals - against renewal. "The first question, from a military point of view, is whether we still need the successor to Trident which the Government presently seem to have in mind. Will it be able to go on doing the job it is supposed to do under any relevant circumstances? To this I believe the answer is unquestionably no. For all practical purposes it has not and, indeed, would not deter any of the threats and challenges - now more economic than military - likely to face this country in the foreseeable or even longer-term future. It has not stopped any terrorist outrage in this country nor, despite America's omnipotent deterrent, did it prevent the very traumatic 9/11. It did not stop the Argentines trying to take over the Falklands, nor did any nuclear deterrent stop Saddam Hussein marching into Kuwait or firing missiles into Israel. Nor indeed, in a now intensely globalised and interlocked world, could our deterrent ever conceivably be used - not even after a serious hostile incident which it had presumably failed to deter - without making the whole situation in the world infinitely worse for ourselves as well as for everybody else.
"For all practical purposes our deterrent has never been truly independent, and if this country had not had a national deterrent over the years, dominated by the formidable balance of terror between the USA and the old Soviet Union, it would certainly not be seeking to acquire one now. I see no reason why these circumstances should change, because conflict is moving inexorably in an entirely different direction. Indeed, even that often-quoted justification for such a status symbol - a seat at the top table - has worn a bit thin, with prestige and influence more likely to be achieved by economic strength, wise counsel and peacemaking than by an ability to destroy en masse....
"Other countries may not necessarily follow our example if we were to start to run down our own white elephant and be seen to be stepping further down the nuclear ladder. However, to encourage them in the completely opposite direction, to follow our particular stance, seems to me to be very irresponsible for a country such as ours, which rightly has aspirations to be a leader in international affairs...."
For this and other contributions to the debate, see here.
On July 16th 2013 CND launched its report Scrap Trident: The Real Alternative with this press release:
"With the government's Trident Alternatives Review being published today, CND yesterday launched a new report outside Parliament. 'The Real Alternative: What the government's Trident Alternatives Review isn't telling you', was launched by our General Secretary Kate Hudson who was joined by Labour MPs Joan Ruddock and Jeremy Corbyn, Lib Dem Tessa Munt and the SNP's Angus Robertson. Our report finds that 'The government's failure to consider non-replacement of the Trident nuclear weapons system is an abdication of responsibility' and says 'Non-replacement is a credible option, which offers serious strategic and economic benefits'.
"We argue the government should disarm rather than replace Trident. The government's Review is likely to advocate a reduction in the number of submarines and an end to their round-the-clock operation. CND believes this will be a step forward which will help open up the wider debate, but the full disarmament option must also be on the table."
July 2013. The BBC reports that the Liberal Democrats are considering calling for Britain to give up its permanent at-sea nuclear deterrent within the next few years.
May 2013. Jeremy Corbyn MP puts down Early Day Motion 150 on Trident Replacement: "That this House notes the findings of the National Security Strategy that a nuclear weapon threat from another state is of low likelihood; further notes a procurement cost of £25 billion and an estimated lifetime cost of over £100 billion for the replacement of the Trident nuclear weapon system; believes that there are greater spending priorities both at the Ministry of Defence and across other departments; and urges the Government to cancel plans to replace Trident." 47 MPs have so far signed the EDM. If your MP has not signed you can send them an email from the CND website.
May 2013. Former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix urges Britain to relinquish the Trident programme. He says the UK will not be more protected if it extends the life of Trident at a cost of £100bn.
January 2013. Nick Harvey, former Lib Dem Defence Minister, writes in The Guardian that Trident will not protect us, and that Britain can't justify military cuts without looking at the billions spent on nuclear weapons. In February 2011, while Defence Minister, Nick Harvey told The Guardian that he tried to dig up the original justification for Britain's sea-borne deterrent and found very little.

NORTH VENICE, Fla.–Tervis has added two new members to its board: Michelle Stacy, former president of housewares company Keurig, and Kevin Haley, an Under Armour vice president.
"The members of our board are some of the most talented individuals with whom I've had the pleasure of working alongside," said President and CEO Patrick Redmond. "Michelle and Kevin add a valuable breadth of knowledge to our team. Their experiences perfectly round out our board."
In Stacy's most recent position, she was president of Keurig, Inc. where she had full profit and loss leadership with direct reports in all functional areas, and directed marketing and operations of all products across all sales channels, including management of the of business partnership network, Tervis said. Haley has been with Under Armour, the sports apparel and accessories company, since 2007 and is currently senior vice president of innovation. "To innovate, you need to be able to take some risk," Haley said. "We all know innovation is in the roots of a company and is a critical strand in its DNA." Haley served in various capacities in the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2000 to 2005, including a branch chief in the Financial Fraud Task Force.
They join current board members James Gregory, Tim Clarke and Al Carlson, as well as shareholders Norbert Donelly (chairman), Ann Donelly, Rogan Donelly, and Amory McAndrew.

Why US high school reform efforts aren't working
Despite a host of reform efforts, only half of low-income and minority students in US high schools graduate. Some programs are trying to change that.
Since it began in 2004, the Baltimore Talent Development High School has posted some impressive graduation rates and achievement scores, among other things.
Even more notable, efforts by educators at nearby Johns Hopkins University to replicate the school's gains in dozens of other locations have also met with some success. Slowly, the network of Talent Development High Schools is helping student groups that often seem most at risk.
But good news at the high school level is unusual. Despite vigorous calls for change and a host of major reform efforts, encouraging results have been scarce. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores – considered the "Nation's Report Card" – tend to be stagnant for high-schoolers, even when they rise for elementary school students.
Only about half of low-income and minority students in US high schools graduate, and many of those who do are unprepared for college. The isolated examples of success often fail when administrators or education reformers try to reproduce them on a large scale.
In short, US high schools don't seem to be working.
"High schools are really large, and it's harder to coordinate work in them," says Elaine Allensworth, interim coexecutive director of the Consortium on Chicago School Research. "There's a different kind of culture in high schools, where teachers think they're teachers of subjects rather than teachers of students.... And the expectations of high schools have changed dramatically without their general structure changing."

great product! Angela from Warwick, RI– Verified Buyer We needed new pillows for our bed and so I ordered these because I like a full pillow. These pillows are great, they keep there fullness yet are contouring to your head. Not to soft yet not to hard. We've had them now for over a week and we love them. Definitely would order again. |
love these pillows Michele from Casa Grande, AZ– Verified Buyer I found these on sale and even than 25 for a pillow was and is a lot of money. So I ordered one. Can I say wonderful. I slept on the pillow for a week. It held its shape and always comes back up even after I twisted it and mangled it. I orders 2 standard and 2 king now I want 2 queens 4 guest room. I have horrible neck and neck pain. Finally I have pillows, that help me.. |
So Far, So Good! Yvonne from Boston– Verified Buyer I am in desperation for a "good pillow." I am tired of spending money for pillows that need to be replaced three times a year. It never used to be that way in the 'old days.' The verdict is still out on this brand and model. My husband who can flatten a new pillow in a month will be the 'test' for this pillow. We've only had them for a week. So far, we like them. |
Rhonda Rhonda from Coatesville, PA– Verified Buyer Just got the pillows yesterday, used them for 1 night. Very comfortable. My husband loved them. I was going to order another set, but I think I'll wait. These are so full, I don't need another pillow. |
