Shifting Cultural Sensibilities and Valentine's Pleas. By Lisa Wade, PhD, Feb 13, 2013, at 11:30 am Originally posted in 2011.
Re-posted in honor of the holiday. This Guy's Hilarious 'List of Rules for Women' Is the Perfect Rebuttal to Misogyny. After last week's nude photo leak of more than 100 celebrities, more than a few Internet denizens (mostly men) ridiculously blamed the women for their own violation.
In other words, these people argued it was the victim's responsibility to prevent the crime. Not surprisingly, it's the same argument that has been used to minimize rape culture. Confounded by this never-ending list, DJ Jay Smooth, founder of New York City's longest-running hip-hop radio program, WBAI's Underground Railroad, has come up with a "List Of Rules For Women" video: "Does anyone have a complete, up-to-date list of everything that women are supposed to do and not do so that they qualify for having their humanity respected? " Surprisingly astute and comically tongue-in-cheek, Smooth is a guy who seems to actually "get it," according to the Huffington Post. 3 Simple Posters Expose 3 Simple Truths All Women Understand. That's ... Not A Good Thing. The May 2014 shooting in Santa Barbara left 7 dead and 13 injured.
Shortly after, the killer's video diaries leading up to the shooting were found, where he blamed women for never dating him despite the fact that he's a "nice guy". When people argued, "Not all men are like that! " Twitter user @gildedspine responded by creating the #YesAllWomen hashtag to start a bigger conversation about violence against women. The hashtag quickly went viral, with women around the world chiming in and sharing their personal stories. No, not all men are violent toward women, but let's all agree no one should put up with this.
An Example of Successful Community Intervention. There's something undeniably important in celebrating community victories in activism.
I've found that often, amazing accomplishments go un-celebrated due to the overwhelming amount of systematic injustices that exist, and the feelings of knowing that there's always more work to do.

Teenagers, (An open letter.) Remember that intimate conversation you had with your son?

CHVRCHES' singer is stricking back against the glut of sexist messages the Glaswegian band regularly receives via social networking and online comment threads.
Lauren Mayberry, who holds a Masters in journalism, has written an editorial for The Guardian in which she calls out the atrocious behavior she's witnessed on the Internet since the group launched in October 2011. "I am in a band that was born on the internet," she begins, explaining that she and her bandmates Iain Cook and Martin Doherty field their fan interactions personally because "the blogosphere and social networks have arguably been the key reasons anyone knows about us at all. " But the good comes with a whole heaping lot of bad, she reveals. "Last week, I posted a screengrab of one of the many inappropriate messages sent to the band's social networks every day," Mayberry writes, referencing a solicitous message she shared on Facebook.

Thanks Levictus, so what does the actual sentence mean? Excuse the ignorance but I just don't get it.
Is it just explaining the fact that some parts consist of two doublers to increase the sanding area? IE one long doubler and one shorter doubler. Like the Fwd fuselage double top 1 and top 2 ? Thanks |

Thoughts on 39 oz. model
Hi Guys,
New to the forum.... been building this bird for awhile and finally got it together (wow, so many pieces to cut out and glue). Will post pictures in the next couple of days, but the issue I have is weight. I'm already at 39 oz. and I haven't painted it yet!!!! Using a single Grayson SMJ v2 for power with a 6x4 and 50 amp ESC and wondering if the bird will get in the air? I'm Canadian and can't readily get 6mm Depron, so I laminated 4.5 and 2.5mm foam board and I think that's where my extra weight has come from. I don't need 1:1 performance, I actually like to see a plane fly by me ..... not scream by me. Any thoughts on a different power plant? Should I go with a different prop.... possibly a 7x4 or a 6x5 to get more performance? Would a 9x6 with a lower KV work better? I'm really concerned about torque roll at full power with the launch and somebody suggested that I get a gyro for roll to help control that.... what do you think? This has been a labour of love with this model and I would hate to screw it up on the maiden. Any help you could throw my way would be appreciated. Thanks..... Andy |

@Andy: If yours is full-size, I wouldn't worry about the weight. My 26" version was 32-33oz AUW. IMO, this plane flies better the heavier it is (within reason). Since you already have the SMJ, I'd try that with the 6x4 and see how it goes. The first 28" version I built used that power system with great success. If you really want to prop it differently, I would go more to the larger prop...not more pitch. Just make sure you check with a watt meter to make sure you're not exceeding the specs of the power system.
Good luck! |

I haven't seen a 22" version built. I would think that at that size, you might not be able to do the dual motor/TV setup. If you're going single motor, the 2212-06 motor would make it fly. If you want a screamer, you could use either the Grayson SMJ or the E-Flite Six 2700kv.

I'll second what T3chDad said--this design can easily handle weights that high. I would go easy on the paint though, to avoid getting too much higher (even a basic paint job can add 1-2 oz). The SMJ motor can also easily handle that weight. Either the 6x4 or 7x4 should work fine, try both. I'd probably err toward the 7x4 if you're like me and prefer more vertical capability than speed. Don't worry too much about prop torque, it's really minimal with a 6" or 7" diameter prop. You can safely launch at 3/4 throttle without worrying about torque (then throttle up to full right after the launch). Definitely don't need a gyro for torque effects. As for the throw, just be careful to throw the model straight and smooth. That's harder than it sounds since you're hold the model off-center when you're holding the nacelle. Just remember if you're holding the left nacelle (i.e., you're right-handed) to impart a slight twist in your wrist to your left--that will keep the model from yawing/rolling to the right. Check out my flight video on the first page of this thread and you'll see I didn't quite do it right on that particular launch--the model rolled right 45 degrees right after I threw it! Easy recovery, but if you do it right no recovery is needed at all. It's not hard, you just have to stop and think about it carefully before throwing, and not just chuck it in the air. Good luck with the maiden! And let us see how your model turned out after you paint it. Steve |

Thanks Bob and Steve for your replies.
I'll give it a go with SMJ and 6x4. Any thoughts on Elevon throws and Expo's for that first flight? CG is just about right on (6.1" from center spar) but I'm thinking of making her a little nose heavy.... going to reposition 2200 mah nano-tech a little more forward. Would 7.1" be better? Andy |

1" and it will be extremely nose heavy to that of the intended CG Steve - any idea on specs for a motor for a 22" version? "CD-ROM" motor means little to me in terms of kv, Ah etc |

Staff who could not do enough for us or our kids. Lovely home cooked food. Felt like we stayed with family. See you next year
Nothing seriously nothing
Beds were reasonably comfortable and shower was good. Generally the staff were friendly.
The service in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast was awful. Not only had we to wait an unacceptable time for service but we had requested a gluten free meal, which was recommended by two members of staff,however when.the meal was finally brought to the table it was not gluten free; this would have caused severe illness to the member of our group who had ordered it.One waitress was particularly turbulent and unhelpful.
The food was first class both main and breakfast. Staff were polite and helpfull and took time to chat. Log fire with a whisky bliss.
Arrived to room to find absolutely freezing. Hotel should have prepared and had heating on for residents. Took ages to heat the central system radiators. Good thing they had a halogen heater there as well
Friendly and helpful staff
Poor location, tired and old decor, wifi poor, breakfast was meagre - a cooked breakfast was extra. Would not stay again.
New bar girl had lovely attitude and manner
We couldn't find the room in the dark
The breakfast yoghourt.
1. The dithering, tattooed-covered staff at reception. 2. The dithering tattooed staff late for early breakfast. 3. Paying twice what it was worth.
Very friendly Excellent food Lovely atmosphere
Absolutely nothing!
The location was excellent for us. The staff were great. A jewel of a place
The heating should have be on prior to us arriving
Was a lovely hotel and the staff and room where fantastic
very good location , great staff , fantastic food good beer , recomend the suites great space
nothing !!! I stayed another nite !!
Staff helpful and friendly. Location was nice, very quiet. Cleanliness of family room and bathroom. Continental breakfast was okay.
Bed far too firm completely unable to sleep. Cooked breakfast would have been better not sure why paying guests are classed as non residents and have to pay extra.
The location was ideal for our needs and the village of Glenfarg is beautiful and was great for walking the dog. Theresa (the owner) is a star and couldn't do enough for us. We would definitely recommend the Bein Inn for friendly service, relaxed surroundings and excellent food!
Food and staff were great.
Super expensive do to close location for Ryder Cup parking and shuttles
Accommodation 1st class. Service excellent. Staff very friendly. Luxury suite ideal. Food fantastic ( I am a chef) could not fault our break.
Staff were very pleasing when we couldnt make breakfast gave us a packed lunch which we found very grateful greeted us with a smile each time and overall just what we needed after a long journey took us to our room didnt just send us off with the key to find .building is bigger than looked and in a lovely location
Lovely peaceful area, with indivual accommodation out with the inn which were very nice and spacious inside.
Very comfortable weel worth the money
No reception for mobile, which is needed for contact work purposes at all times
The room was very clean, tidy and comfortable.
Heating in the room was poor.
Friendly staff Rural location
Rather worn in parts Peeling wallpaper and shabby Poor service Poor breakfast
food was amazing staff were so welcoming and friendly generous sized rooms perfect location great service food was amazing, said it twice because it was that good
mattresses were a bit hard
Enjoyed our brief stay at the Bein Inn and would return. Food great. Superior room spacious, clean and comfortable with good facilities. Front of house staff very courteous and competent. Dogs also allowed, which was a key reason for choosing to stay here.
Only downside was we would have expected a bit more attention to detail for the price - mould on shower curtain and tile grout in en-suite could easily be rectified. And unfortunately we found mouldy food in the room fridge. However, staff appeared suitably apologetic when we reported this.
the spaciousness of the room, very good beds and pillows, and the friendly staff
The lack of paintings or other pictures on the walls of our room!
Staff pleasant and helpful. Comfortable bed. Clean rooms.
The location of this hotel is a downfall. No lighting in the lobby heading to my room at night. Wifi intermitant. Visible damp in room. The food was not up to much I had the steak pie and chips with vegetables. The pie was lacking taste .

Mega Man (DOS)
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. 2.3
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Not an American user?
It is up to the blue robot Megaman to stop the plot of Dr. Wily, the maverick lab assistant, by jumping and shooting his way past an army of robots. At the end of these levels are three of Dr. Wily's robot masters, Dyna Man, Sonic Man and Volt man who each drop a key when defeated. These keys are then used to gain access to the room where the megacomputer Crorq is being stored for a final showdown. As always, Megaman can absorb the weapon power of the robot masters and use it as his own.Mega Man is a side-scrolling platform game. It differs greatly from the earlier console release, with only three bosses and not very many extras to find. Lesser robots can defeated and drop a variety of power-ups including an energy capsule for filling energy, a weapon capsule which restores the power of captured robot weapons, an extra life, a continue and an energy tank which will restore all of Megaman's energy once.

There are currently no topics for this game.
The front cover box art for this game is taken from the NES Megaman III. So is the enemy robot (Spark Man) on the back of the box (he doesn't appear in the PC game, however).However, this is not a conversion of any of the NES console Megaman games, but rather an original program created for the PC.

Fridays USDA monthly crop report came out in line with pre-report trade estimates. There was no shocking surprise to push prices up the daily trading limits.

August 14 2012 9:56 AM EDT
Sept. Bonds are currently 31 lower at 147'27 and the 10 Yr. Notes 9 lower at 133'11. This morning: Retail sales were up a better than expected 0.8% and PPI was up 0.3%. Euro-zone GDP was slightly better than expected at -0.2% showing improvement in Germany, France and the Netherlands and negative growth in other countries. Near term support remains in the 147'20 level but resistance has been lowered to 149'28. Treat as a trading market between support and resistance.

At the same time a larger than expected drop in Japan's GDP is increasing the odds that global economic stimulus is right around the corner. Japan's G...

Dec. Corn is currently 9'4 lower at 798'0, Nov. Beans 41'0 lower at 1588'0 and Dec. Wheat 6'6 lower at 897'0. Cooling temperatures and some spotty percipitation is pressuring Corn this morning. The prevailing trend remains up, however, the market has developed resistance in the 815'0 area.

Total overkill of the following:
1. Overpowered Villains
2. Spiky Hair *cough DBZ cough*
3. Weak support characters (one character is almost overpowered, while the others are sub-par with their powers)
4. Emo characters (like what Destinyheroknight said)
5. Stupid male characters (seen in most harem/ecchi shows...it was painful to watch the embarrassment to men that was Natsuru Seno in Kampfer [while in male form])
But really it's up to what each person like, you know? I don't like any of the HST because my tastes are different. I'll say that the Black Butler manga is better than One Piece because Black Butler is more to my tastes than One Piece.
I hate the idea among some internet fans that anything outside of the HST is better then the HST(No,hellsing is not better then One Piece and Naruto ,killing Nazi Vampires is a shitty plot.No,DBZ is not better then Naruto and One Piece cause it is more popular guess what Justin Bieber is popular too.)
Characters with excessive Transformations and forms. 1 or 2 are OK but 3 4 5 !!! come on now
The female characters who are there just for eye-candy, does get tedious after a while.
The cocky A-hole rival to the main protagonist, it get old to me after seeing it so many times.

"The release of the RFP is a significant milestone and it reflects critical insight from industry as we compete the world's largest enterprise network," Capt. Shawn Hendricks, Naval Enterprise Networks program manager, said in a released statement.
NMCI, launched in 2000, now serves more than 800,000 users at more than 2,500 locations and is currently operated under a continuity-of-services contract with HP, which bought Electronic Data Systems, the original provider..
NMCI got off to a well-publicized rocky start. It was originally conceived to reduce the burden of end-to-end IT operations and maintenance on the Navy and Marine Corps while improving technology efficiency; it was perhaps the largest IT outsourcing contract ever awarded. But the challenges and costs in consolidating systems and implementing the program were much more than either side had anticipated. Sources say EDS nearly went bankrupt as a result.
With NGEN, the Navy plans to take back control of the network. According to the RFP, under NGEN the Navy's network will be government-owned and contractor operated, and aside from hardware like desktop computers, the network infrastructure will be considered government property. The RFP also notes delineation between Navy and Marine Corps domains, with the Marine Corps' networks considered government-owned and government-run.
Chief among NGEN's goals is to continue maintaining and delivering NMCI while improving information assurance and command and control. It's also geared to better take advantage of Defense Department enterprise services. And at the heart of NGEN is the seamless transition of the network and improved security – both critical to day-to-day operations, Hendricks has stressed.
The RFP, like the draft RFPs that came before it, also clearly define services.
"The Navy Network Operations (NetOps) operating model employs a centrally managed and decentralized execution framework where global, regional, and local responsibilities are delineated. Network [command and control] is accomplished through a hierarchal, tiered organizational framework," according to the RFP.
NGEN comprises 35 services split into two main segments, enterprise services and transport services – and the Navy could award separate contracts for each, or one contract that encompasses all.
"This is a full and open competition. I don't care who provides the services; I just want the best value for government, services not to be compromised and the transition assured. I cannot afford even a one minute loss of productivity," Hendricks said last August.
The transition to the new-era Navy enterprise network must incorporate current technology -- there are provisions for thin-client workstations, virtualization and cloud services -- and for maintenance to stay ahead of the curve, with orders for periodic tech refresh. There are also new-era security requirements, as the Navy takes on threats that weren't even conceived of when NMCI launched more than a decade ago. It's a patently different kind of security challenge than what much of the rest of DOD typically faces, and it's evident by the dozens of security references and stipulations in the RFP.
"What's becoming apparent is that security over classified networks is gobs more simple than security over the world's largest network that's connected on the Internet," Hendricks said at a May 3 event in northern Virginia.
With the solicitation out, the companies planning to vie for the contract are hitting the ground running, already having devoted months to the project using the draft RFPs that have been released over the past year. Proposals are due July 18.
There are two announced teams expected to compete for the contract: HP, joined by AT&T, Northrup Grumman, IBM and most recently Lockheed Martin; and a team led by Harris and Computer Sciences Corp., joined by General Dynamics, Cisco and Verizon. Harris leads the team on the transport services portion of the program and CSC leads the team on the enterprise services portion.

I appreciate the info on the teams bidding - can you also provide information on the administration teams?

If they won't give a discription of organizations that will be involved then they aren't prepared to manage the contracts. There is sepecial skill and knowledge required to manage the many contracts and complicated partnerships that this will provide - If they don't have the govt contract management infrastructure specifically structured for telecom and broadband and infrastructure it will be a cluster mess.>There are two announced teams expected to compete for the contract: HP, joined by AT&T, Northrup Grumman, IBM and most recently Lockheed Martin; and a team led by Harris and Computer Sciences Corp., joined by General Dynamics, Cisco and Verizon.

Wow nice shot! Incredible colors. |
Thank you everyone, In my story the crooked man and his cat lived close to this bridge (-: Merry Christmas Everyone!!! |
Beautiful photo. Love the warm colors and your subject. Might get seasick walking on it. |
Wonderful colors. |
Are you sure your camera was not crooked too? :) Seriously, the lighting in your image is so special! Great job! GR |
Maybe this is the English nursery rhyme you're thinking of jtrainman: There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house. The rhyme was first recorded by James Orchard Halliwell in the 1840s and gained popularity in the early twentieth century. (Wikipedia) Whatever the case, this photo is a very nice image. I love the softness of the late day sun and the crooked bridge is just perfect. Congratulations on the AC for this photo. ~Helen |
Lovely! |
An outstanding shot trainman. I love the golden glow and the slight shadows down the bridge. I hope to see it in the AC section |
Nice shot - I think you are thinking of the one about a "crooked stile". |
not only did you find the crooked bridge, you found it in a very special light - beautiful. |
Lovely!! |

Great Views, very relaxing.
Loved our stay. We had a great time on the lake and sitting on the balcony.
My family & I were in need of a vacation and we are so happy that we found Gary & Janet's 1bedroom condo!! My children & I fished EVERYDAY for 7 days either right from our balcony or when we went down to the pier. And when we weren't fishing, the atmosphere of the condo was so great that we slept most of the time that we were inside.
The photos are good but when we got there, WOW!! Gary and Janet are some wonderful hosts and even brought us an iron and ironing board when we needed it. I recommend anyone to check into these condos. Just beware that we are coming back and you can't have our week!!!

Eight 'Tobans join Team West World U-17 Challenge squad
Some of Manitoba and Saskatchewan's best grain-fed Prairie boys will make up the U-17 Team West roster heading to the 2013 World Under-17 Challenge later this winter.
Hockey Manitoba and the Saskatchewan Hockey Association announced the 22-player roster that will take part in the event, being held in Victoriaville/Drummondville, Que. beginning in late December.
Team West was selected from a pool of 68 players born in 1996 and is comprised of 14 players from Saskatchewan and eight from Manitoba. The roster features 14 players currently in the Western Hockey League, along with six from Midget AAA and two from Junior A.
The eight Manitobans who made the squad are defencemen Justin Baudry (La Broquerie/Steinbach Pistons), Justin Thomson (Wawanesa/Kamloops Blazers), Travis Sanheim (Elkhorn/Yellowhead Chiefs) and Reid Zalitach (Narol/Vancouver Giants), forwards Jayce Hawryluk (Roblin/Brandon Wheat Kings), Adam Brooks (Winnipeg/Regina Pats) and Ryley Lindgren (East St. Paul/Winnipeg Thrashers) and goaltender Ty Edmonds (Winnipeg/Virden Oil Capitals).
Seven of the eight Manitoba players are U-16 Team Manitoba alumni who won silver at the 2011 Western Canada Under-16 Challenge Cup in Moose Jaw.
Team West is led by Winnipeg Blues head coach Don MacGillivray and assistants David Anning of the Wheat Kings and Malcolm Cameron of the Pats and is looking to improve from last year's 10th-place finish. The squad is in a tough pool, along with Team Pacific, Finland, Sweden and Russia.
Team West will kick off action on Dec. 28 in its sole exhibition match versus Slovakia in Saint-Pierre-les-Bécquets.
Wesmen's Iko honoured again
BENNY IKO of the University of Winnipeg Wesmen basketball squad is having a good week.
Iko, a fifth-year forward who posted back-to-back double-doubles in a two-game sweep of the Brandon Bobcats last weekend, has been named the Canada West Male Athlete of the Week for the period ending Nov. 18.
Iko scored 40 points, hauled in 25 rebounds and drained six-three pointers in the two victories.
The Wesmen (4-2) are currently riding a four-game winning streak and will be on the road to take on Trinity Western and Fraser Valley this Friday and Saturday.
Kaspic, Dola lead Midget AAA
THE Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League Players of the Week are Tanner Kaspick of the Brandon Wheat Kings (West Division) and Hayden Dola of the Interlake Lightning (East Division).
Kaspick, 14, posted a plus/minus rating of +5 and was involved in six of the nine goals the Wheat Kings scored in their three games while extending his personal point-scoring streak to seven games. In the process, he helped the Wheaties extend their unbeaten streak to 13 games.
Kaspick had a pair of assists in Brandon's 4-2 win over Southwest Cougars and added two more assists in the 3-0 win over Eastman Selects, then had a goal and an assist in a 2-1 victory over Interlake Lightning.
Dola finished off an impressive three-game stretch in which he stopped 113 of the 121 shots while posting an impressive .934 save percentage.
On Saturday against Parkland Rangers, the 15-year-old stopped 39 of the 41 shots he faced in Interlake's 3-2 victory, then was bombarded with 46 shots in a 2-1 loss to the league-leading Wheat Kings.

Both the $.fn.scrollTop and $.fn.scrollLeft setters return null when called on an empty jquery object. This leads to unexpected null pointer exceptions. Example:
// Causes null pointer exception $(".does-not-exists").scrollTop(100).addClass("scrolled");
This is also inconsistant behavior. Most jquery setters (e.g. height, width, addClass, attr, css, etc...) always return jquery objects.

AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL
MIAMI -- For the Miami Heat, this was a night of comebacks.
First, coach Pat Riley said he'll return after missing six weeks because of knee and hip surgeries. Then Dwyane Wade shook off a bruised left shoulder and outscored Portland by himself in the final quarter.
• Read more Elias Says. |
Now, the Heat's long trip back to .500 is complete, too. Wade had 35 points and the Heat beat Portland 104-85 on Tuesday night, giving Miami seven wins in eight games entering the All-Star break.
"I'm just glad we won. We've gotten to the point we kept talking about," said Heat interim coach Ron Rothstein, who went 13-9 as Riley's replacement and helped the team recover from being six games under .500 on Jan. 27. "Now this is our launching pad for after the break."
Wade had 16 of his points in the final quarter, one more than the Trail Blazers managed as a team, and almost single-handedly decided things with three straight baskets in an 88-second span early in the period.
Miami led 73-70 entering the fourth and the game was still in doubt when Juan Dixon hit a 3-pointer with 9:14 left, but Wade's three baskets pushed the lead to 85-75 -- the Heat's biggest at that point -- with 7:46 remaining. Miami would lead by as many as 21 in the final minutes.
"He showed why he is one of the best players in the league," Portland's Joel Przybilla said. "He just took over. They showed why they are the world champs."
Zach Randolph had 17 points and six rebounds for Portland, and Jarrett Jack added 16 points for the Trail Blazers, who had a modest two-game winning streak snapped.
Portland was only 4-for-13 from the floor in the first 10 minutes of the final quarter and wound up shooting 42 percent for the game -- compared with 56 percent by Miami, which narrowly missed matching a franchise record by blocking 14 shots, and forced 17 turnovers that led to 27 points.
"We can't win many games with 15 to 20 turnovers," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "Last game we had 20 turnovers, tonight we had 17. You're spotting these guys, who are champions, 27 points when you do that."
Udonis Haslem had 12 points and Jason Kapono and James Posey each added 11 for Miami. Shaquille O'Neal, who didn't play in the fourth quarter for the second straight game, finished with six points and five rebounds in 24 minutes.
When the Heat resume play next week, Riley will be back on the sideline; he left the team Jan. 3 to address his medical issues. Riley announced his plans to return 45 minutes before gametime.
"We're just looking forward to keep going on this path," Wade said.
Wade hurt his shoulder -- he called it a hyperextension and said he heard a pop -- with 9:36 left in the third quarter. He drove past Jack and went airborne, collided with Przybilla and immediately began writhing in pain once he hit the ground. Once he got up, he quickly headed for the Heat locker room.
"I probably looked at the tunnel about seven times," Rothstein said.
Sure enough, Wade emerged from that tunnel about 6 minutes later, feeling fine. He was 7-for-11 from the floor after the collision and has eight straight games of at least 25 points, matching the franchise record.
"I had my rhythm from the first half and just kept it going," Wade said.
Brandon Roy had 15 points for Portland, but managed only two on 1-for-8 shooting in the final three quarters. Ime Udoka added 14 and Dixon had 12 for the Trail Blazers.
Game notes
O'Neal, who usually gets replaced 9 minutes into the first quarter, played the first 10:50 of the game. Reason? Play never stopped to allow Alonzo Mourning to enter the game. ... Portland missed a chance at an unusual four-point play in the third quarter. Udoka hit a 3-pointer while Haslem was fouling Jamaal Magliore; Udoka's shot counted, but Magliore airballed his free-throw try. ... Wade has a blocked shot in nine straight games, two shy of matching the longest streak of his career. ... Portland has lost five straight in the series for the first time.
