It all started when the Rev. Rob Dewey, police officer turned Episcopal priest, saw a need for chaplains at police scenes to counsel and support those affected, from first responders to victims and their families.
The need became an unfunded dream that became Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy, a growing nonprofit Judeo-Christian ministry turning 25 years old.
Its chaplains have counseled countless residents who have landed, by choice or by fate, at the doorstep of violent death and life's other most devastating traumas.
Its chaplains respond 24/7 to people ravaged by suicide and murder, fires and fatal car wrecks, drownings and floods, as well as those who respond to these events as part of their lives' daily work.
There was a day when Dewey, the chaplaincy's founder and senior chaplain, wrote thank-you notes to donors on his home typewriter.
Now, 25 years later, he is one of 120 FBI chaplains nationwide and is part of a team that responds to airline crashes and other mass disasters. He has traveled the country helping others create similar programs.
And his brainchild, at first an adjunct ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, has grown to four staff members and a lengthy roster of volunteer lay people and chaplains.
But the soul of the chaplaincy's success?
The people who have faced life's most horrific events and survived their aftermath.
Lifelong friend
In 1994, Georgetown Police Maj. Spencer Guerry pulled over a car with expired plates when the driver, fresh from a drug deal, shot him in the face.
Minutes later, a patrol car whisked the officer's wife, Sally Guerry, along the long and lonely ride from Georgetown to MUSC's emergency room.
When the young teacher stepped through the ER doors, she was alone. Her family and friends were either unaware of what had just happened or too far away to have arrived yet.
That's when she met Dewey.
The chaplain went with Guerry when she first saw her husband, a Moncks Corner native unconscious on a hospital bed, his face marred, machines beeping, his life ebbing away.
Dewey prayed with her then, prayed that Spencer would hold on until their sons arrived so they could say what they needed to their father.
Around 4 a.m., James and Ryan arrived. They were 8 and 10.
Guerry paused. How could she possibly tell them what just happened to their father, a man who was president of their school parent-teacher organization, who volunteered with the Boys Scouts and served his town as assistant police chief?
She turned to Dewey.
"Pray with me a minute before we go talk to the boys," asked Guerry, a teacher with a deep Catholic faith whose parish priest had not arrived yet.
And so Dewey did. He prayed that God would grant her the strength and the words to tell her boys what happened.
"See what questions they have," Dewey suggested. The boys would ask as much as they wanted to know. Or could stand to know. Then, he went with her to tell them.
And when the boys didn't want to see their daddy, not looking that way, Guerry decided to have them tape record what they wanted to say so she could play it for her husband.
Dewey hunted down a tape recorder. Then, he took each boy aside to record those final words. He went with Guerry when she played it for Spencer.
And he stayed as her husband died.
He accompanied her when the staff discussed organ donation. And when she discussed it with her boys.
He was there when Spencer was buried with that tape recorder. And he was there for the trial and verdict and when David Hill was executed for the murder.
Through the 19 years since Spencer died - through the memorials and the court dates and the happier days like graduations - Dewey has supported Guerry and her sons.
Those boys are grown now.
James is 28, a police officer at the University of South Carolina. Ryan, now 30, is working on a master's degree in public administration.
Each recently married. Each asked Dewey to offer a reading at his wedding.
"Anything we needed from him, he'd be there," recalled James Guerry. "He was there that first day. There has been a connection between us and him since then."
Through it all, the Guerrys have felt they weren't just another family devastated by another awful crime to which Dewey and chaplains like him respond every day.
After all, when the 20th anniversary of Spencer's death comes March 9, Guerry knows that her old friend will be there.
"He was sent into my life that horrific night," she said. "And the fact that he is still involved in my life and my sons' lives is testament to the kind of man he is."
Calming presence
This past May, Christie Moultrie was driving with her 11-year-old daughter when someone flagged her down.
Get to the store!
She rushed to D&V Convenience Store on Savannah Highway, a rural family-owned shop where her sister was a clerk. Moultrie and her daughter walked in and saw blood.
Then they saw Crystal Johnson, wife and mother of three children, dead on the bathroom floor, a gash on her head.
"I suddenly exploded," Moultrie recalled. "I lost it."
She could not think, couldn't remember her husband's phone number or summon words or corral her thoughts.
Shortly after, she met chaplain John Smith.
She recognized the man; he served as pastor of a Baptist church in nearby Ravenel.
Though a stranger, he asked to pray with her. It forced her to close her eyes and summon her faith. It forced her to stop and breathe.
"That prayer really helped to calm things down so I could function and say what I saw and communicate with the police and everyone else there," she said.
Moultrie and the sister she'd just lost, 11 months apart in a large and close-knit family, lived with adjoining yards in the Adams Run community. Johnson's children then were ages 9, 12 and 15.
When they all left that nightmarish scene, chaplain Smith gave the family his number.
"Call any time, no matter what time of day," he said.
Since then, if they don't call, Smith calls them. He asks what the family needs and has helped them access everything from counselors to financial help. He stops by to talk and to pray.
And he has gone to her children's school awards celebrations and football games, events that their mom used to attend.
He helps them all realize they aren't alone, that violence has hurt so many.
"He offers prayers, offers assistance and offers to do things with her children," Moultrie said. "It's just really helpful."
Moultrie still looks to her own pastor at Grace Chapel Baptist for counsel. But Smith shows them that the larger community also cares about their loss.
"We know there is someone on the outside looking out for us," she said. "The chaplains don't only look out for their own family and church members. They come out into the community and help others."
Helping the helpers
The chaplains don't only minister to victims and their families. They also reach out to law enforcement and other first responders who deal with death and violence in their normal work.
For Kenny Barfield, help came after getting into an off-duty car wreck in 1996 in which he was ticketed by an officer in his own department. He disagreed and began his own investigation, angry and hurt over accusations that left him at odds with his colleagues of 25 years at the Charleston Police Department.
"You question why this is happening, why people can't understand. I grew up in that police department," he said. "Then something like this happens."
His brother-in-law finally called Dewey, who came to Barfield's home one Sunday.
"Just having him there as counsel, it eased the tension. He was an outside person who could see both sides of it," Barfield recalled. "He had a calming effect on a bad situation."
Dewey also reminded Barfield of his faith and that God has a plan even in the worst of times. He reminded Barfield that things work out.
"And they did," Barfield said. "God had a different plan for me. I just needed to be shown."
He accepted a punishment, which he said involved being transferred for misuse of city property related to pursing his own investigation.
However, he also finished his career with the department, retired six years ago and began work as a solicitor's office investigator.
It's far from the devastating events chaplains often deal with. "I was by far just a speck of what they do every single day," Barfield said.
But he appreciated the help when he needed it.

Ryan Phillippe Brings His Girlfriend to Lunch With Ava and Deacon
Ryan Phillippe and his girlfriend, Paulina Slagter, took Ava and Deacon Phillippe for lunch in LA yesterday. Ryan appeared to be wearing an ankle brace as he browsed various food trucks and stopped to chat with his kids. Before heading to the car, Ava decided on an orange drink and shared a laugh with Paulina while Deacon stayed close to Ryan. Ava and Deacon are getting in quality time with Ryan after he wrapped up an exciting real-estate transaction — Ryan sold his Hollywood Hills home for $6 million.

Blue Jays' Ricky Romero doesn't take kindly to jokes about Jays' injuries

BOSTON—Ricky Romero may be the only Blue Jays' starting pitcher left standing at the end of this train-wreck of a month for the team's rotation, but he's not going to put up with jokes about the freaky run of bad luck that seems to have fallen upon his fellow hurlers.
"Criticize my game, criticize my performance & criticize me as a person all u want," Romero wrote early Tuesday morning on his official Twitter page after the Jays' rain-delayed 9-6 victory in Boston over the Red Sox. "But making jokes about injuries is not funny to me or my teammates. It sucks what has happen to us a team. But were [sic] gonna keep grinding for u The Fans and the city of Toronto. And no I don't fear going out there and pitching. Whatever happens I leave it in Gods [sic] hands. I can only control what I can control. Peace Out."
The Jays lost three of five starting pitchers to serious injuries earlier this month—Brandon Morrow, Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison—all over the course of just four days.
On Monday night in Boston, Henderson Alvarez looked like he might be the fourth man down when he was taken out of the game in the sixth inning with soreness in his throwing elbow.
That led some people, including a couple of sports media personalities, to joke about the stunning coincidence of the Jays' hard luck.
That didn't go over well with Romero or Drabek, who underwent Tommy John surgery last week to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and will be out at least 12 months.
"We joke about a lot of things with the boys but injury is not one of them," Drabek wrote on his Twitter page. "At least to our team ... Team unit one team one goal."
After Monday's game, the Jays said Alvarez was removed for "precautionary" reasons and early indications suggest he will not miss any starts. He will, however, travel to Florida on Tuesday to undergo an MRI in order to confirm there is no structural damage to the elbow.

Children's health issues are just the same as adult health issues — only smaller. In adults, back pain is a common musculoskeletal problem. In children, back pain should be taken seriously.
When children under age 10 have back pain that lasts longer than 3 days, they should have an advanced imaging study of the spine.
Results presented at the 1999 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America suggested that about 1/3 of these children have significant problems needing specific treatment — even though the regular x-rays were normal!

Credit Control Management Hertfordshire document sample
Topaz Providing FD's with Credit Control Strategies Credit control strategies to improve profitability by tackling excessive debtor days, poor customer service and non conformance are being highlighted by leading financial software company Topaz. The latest in a series of initiatives to promote the credit management and customer service capabilities of the Topaz Credit Control system saw Eddie Stanley, Topaz Sales Director host a workshop for financial directors entitled 'Profit Through Credit Management' at the Marriott Hanbury Manor Hotel and Country Club, Hertfordshire. Using practical scenarios, based on a series of case studies and a comprehensive check list of functional areas, attendees were given a wealth of information to take away with them to apply in their business to generate both tangible and intangible benefits. The main focus was the issue of non conformance and how simple credit control strategies linked to improvements for customer service procedures can help to achieve dramatic results. "Non conformance is a hot topic in business today and in credit management it has a serious impact on the profitability of a business," says Eddie Stanley, Topaz Sales Director. "We hosted the workshop to explore how excessive debtor days, unmanaged risk and poor customer service all impact on the bottom line and how simple but effective processes can radically cut non conformance. "From the point of view of enhancing the profile of Topaz Credit Control it was a very productive event, which also allowed us to address serious credit control issues that are currently being faced by Financial Directors." The workshop follows on from a seminar initiative at the Institute of Directors entitled 'Reducing Debtor Days, Minimising Risk and Improving Customer Service – How the Recruitment Sector is Tackling These 3 Key Issues' that highlighted the growing impact of the Topaz technology in the temporary recruitment sector, where credit control is critical. "Topaz solutions are leading the way in helping the temporary recruitment sector generate genuine ROI in this key area of business and we are now hoping to build on this sector success with our ongoing promotional initiatives for Topaz Credit Control," says Eddie Stanley. Topaz is also currently providing FDs with advice on the do's and don'ts of corporate credit management, which are highlighted in free white paper that is available on request. Authored by Professor Nick Wilson, the international credit risk and management guru, the paper covers the whole spectrum of credit management activity – from analysis through credit granting to collection. It highlights the fact that during the credit management process, half the department's time is spent on back end management, 29% on front end and the remainder on cash flow and dispute settlement. FDs can obtain the free white paper by sending an email request to: email@example.com or by calling 01773 531 551. Topaz will be appearing at Softworld at the NEC Birmingham on October 17 and 18 to promote the Topaz Credit Control functionality along with Topaz Financials and Topaz EMS (Employee Management System) on stand AF312. because each business is unique Notes to Editors: About Topaz Topaz was founded by a group of like-minded business professionals and began life creating bespoke software solutions and supporting third party applications.

"Love Song for Bibliophiles"
Katherine Kellgren gives us a wonderful performance of a book that is a love song for bibliophiles. In the course of the story Jo Walton references some 150 SF and Fantasy books. Each reference gave me a little thrill of recognition or made me want to go out and read that book. The main character of the story, Morwenna, is a strong, sympathetic, and compelling personality who made me want to keep reading even though the plot is somewhat sparse. Another strength of the book is the magic system which is unique and self-consistent. This was a magnificent use of a credit!

What If The Lions Take....
What if the Detroit Lions take OT Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe at #1 and then with the #20 pick they take or have the chance at taking OT Michael Oher ? What kind of a start would that be to building a winning team in your opinion? I think it would make things very interesting around the Detroit area if they pulled this off and what better way to protect whoever their starting QB is? :coffee:
Re: What If The Lions Take....
They are the Lions. They would NEVER do anything that made that much sense. I COULD see them taking WR at #1 and......wait for it.......WR at #20!
Re: What If The Lions Take....
Yeah, in theory it sounds good... But why would they do that when they love Gosder Cherilus (First rounder last year) at right tackle?
Re: What If The Lions Take....
When's the last time they had a QB that was actually worth protecting?
Re: What If The Lions Take....
Just a thought by myself I guess, and maybe they could trade down with that last #1 of the Cowboys with the Steelers, that way the Steelers could get Michael Oher and then the Lions could draft the Best Center in the draft in Alex Mack? Maybe the Steelers have to give up one of their 5th rounders to trade spots with the Lions and help both teams get what they need. |
Re: What If The Lions Take....
They should take Eugene Monroe with the First pick, then get Josh Freeman w. the 20th pick if hes still there. :chicken:
Re: What If The Lions Take....
the lions will probably take stafford with the number one pick. at least they dont have millen make the calls anymore..lol..
Re: What If The Lions Take....
Lions should go Smith or Monroe with the #1 pick and then a D lineman like Robert Ayers, Peria Jerry or Ziggy Hood with #20. Build from the inside out and maybe Freeman is there with the 33rd pick.
Selecting an unproven QB in round 1 can get a head coach fired. None of these QB's are any better than Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco or Chad Henne were last year. So why spend premium picks on QB's that are really 2nd round talents in a decent year. Heck, none of the top 3QB's in the draft is even better than Matt Leinart was in his draft year. |
Re: What If The Lions Take....
Heck, they could draft linemen and talent players and then sign Lefty to call the signals for a year or two.

The famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius that snuffed out life in Pompeii and buried the town has long been a fascinating moment in history for children. This book presents that dramatic story with Mary Pope Osborne's brief text and with stunning frescoes created by Bonnie Christensen, using the same colors, style, and technique as the ancient frescoes unearthed at Pompeii. In addition to the destruction of Pompeii and the rediscovery of the ruins nearly 1,700 years later, the book shows what daily life was like in this prosperous Roman town in the year 79 A.D.
About the Author
Mary Pope Osborne is the author of the bestselling Magic Tree House series. She has also written many acclaimed retellings of myths, folktales, and works of historical fiction.
Bonnie Christensen is a fine artist and printmaker who teaches at St. Michael's College in Vermont. She has illustrated The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck for the Folio Society in London and ten books for children, including Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People, a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book, and Pompeii: Lost and Found.

Ecology: A small, distinctive moth found on bogs, heaths, and woodland clearings. Adults are frequently seen by day resting among heather and other low vegetation. It normally flies in sunshine but is also active at night and is attracted to light in small numbers. The larvae can be found in summer and early autumn on clovers Trifolium spp. and trefoils Lotus spp. It overwinters as a pupa.
World Distribution: Throughout Europe, eastern Siberia and Japan.

Tuskegee Airmen, U.S. War Heroes Shine in 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends Set
Tuskegee Airmen, U.S. War Heroes Shine in 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends Set
September 28, 2012 at 2:18 PM While the checklist of decorated Olympians, U.S. Womens National Soccer Team stars, astronauts and U.S. Presidents punctuating Panini Americas latest Americana release is quite impressive, there are two groups in particular that truly help 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends live up to its name. Theyre heroic. Theyre legendary. And at long last, theyre on trading cards. Panini America officials worked closely with nine members of the Tuskegee Airmen (the first African American aviators in U.S. military history who flew during World War II and the subject of the 2012 motion picture Red Tails) and five living U.S. Medal of Honor recipients to make 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends a truly historic endeavor. The 14 living legends are honored on a major trading card for the first time in 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends, including some with autograph and memorabilia versions. The nine Tuskegee Airmen honored are Charles McGee, Eugene Richardson, Floyd Carter, Herbert Carter, Mal Whitfield, Roscoe Brown, Roscoe Draper, Shade Lee and Theobald G. Wilson. The five Medal of Honor recipients included are Thomas R. Norris, Robert Martin Patterson, George T. Sakato, James L. Stone and Mike Thornton. An Americana card gallery of the aforementioned heroes and legends follows . . . Tuskegee Airmen, U.S. War Heroes Shine in 2012 Americana Heroes & Legends Set The Official Panini America Blog |

Could imagine potty training your son or daughter at five or six months old? Or training them to use the potty from day one without using diapers at all?
Well, if your name is Gisele Bundchen, Alicia Silverstone, or Mayim Bialik, you have.
While I was still trying to figure out a sleeping pattern for my child and myself when he was at that age, these celebrity moms did what most parents thought would be impossible have them potty trained before they could even sit up or walk on their own. Ambitious, right?
Not every celebrity mother was in a hurry to get their kids out of diapers though celebrity parents such as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony waited until their twins Emme and Max were 3 years old and actor Kevin Nealon has his son potty trained at age 4.
Sure, there will always be a debate as to when is "too early" and when is "too late," but as many parents can agree, it's not always such an easy task. A lot of messy accidents, bribery, and long hours spent on the potty are usually part of the process. Mom Britney Spears has even said that potty training her two sons was the most difficult job for her as a mother so far.
Check out our photo gallery of celebrity quotes on their potty training experiences, as well as what age they began to train their kids and tell us what you're experiences have been, too.

A woman is recovering in the hospital after being brutally attacked early Thursday morning in downtown Wilmington.
Police are looking for whoever is responsible.
The 24-year-old Wilmington woman was walking alone around 1 a.m. Thursday when she was sexually assaulted and stabbed several times.
It happened in a church courtyard at Third and Market Streets.
Police are investigating. WPD spokesperson Lucy Crockett says it is early to talk about the investigation, but they expect to make good progress.
Whoever committed the crime is facing charges of attempted first degree rape and assault with a deadly weapon.
Crockett said in no way did the victim cause what happened, but does want to remind people to avoid walking alone at night.
"It's important for everyone to remember that we live in a city, and it's a great city and it offers a lot, but like all city dwellers, we have to take certain precautions and we need to be aware of our surroundings. We need to exercise caution," said Crockett.
Police are giving the victim time to recover before questioning her about what she remembers.
That part of town is highly populated, so police hope witnesses will come forward.
If you know anything about the attack, call the Wilmington Police Department at 910-343-3600.

ESPN.com: NBA | [Print without images] |
(Photo by Duane Burleson/AP Photo)
The calendar says we're almost to December, but let's take a look ahead to the last regular-season games of April 16 and just how the Eastern Conference playoff seeds might play out then.
One story worth watching is how the Nets develop. We talk about all the great teams with a Big 3, but if Nenad Krstic can come back to his form, he, along with Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson and Jason Kidd, could give the Nets a Big 4.
Here's how ESPN analyst Kiki Vandeweghe sees the East playing out.
1. Boston Celtics -- Role players fitting in. Only worry is if Big 3 can stay healthy.
2. Orlando Magic -- Forget last year's fast start and fall. More game this year. Dwight Howard's super.
3. Detroit Pistons -- Look for Rodney Stuckey to become a big player for them.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers -- Can Larry Hughes return to form? Too much one-man show now.
5. Washington Wizards -- Caron Butler steps up his game while Gilbert Arenas heals. Antonio Daniels: good fill-in.
6. Milwaukee Bucks -- Michael Redd a superstar, no longer one-dimensional shooter. Very flexible team.
7. Toronto Raptors -- Solid team that overachieved last year. Great mix of players.
8. Miami Heat -- The wild card with Dwyane Wade back. With him, Shaquille O'Neal can prove the doubters wrong.
But the 7-footer's left knee troubles have kept him out of the past three games. So, his health makes them a wild card here. But if everyone's healthy and playing at a high level, they're as good as any of the teams in the East. It never hurts when you have the best point guard in the conference -- Kidd.
Here's how I see it coming. And yes, that should be a good 1-8 matchup to watch
1. Boston Celtics (11-2) -- So many intangibles that Kevin Garnett brings. And tangibles, too, when you talk about the matchup problems he creates. The Big 3 will find a way to the best record.
2. Detroit Pistons (9-5) -- Just like the old Timex commercial, they keep on ticking. Along with the Phoenix Suns, the best starting five in the game today. On Wednesday, they showed they can handle the Cavaliers (minus LeBron James). The two teams don't meet again until March 19.
3. Orlando Magic (14-3) -- There's a lot to like here. I like how the young team is shaking up the Southeast Division, which has been dominated by the Heat the past few years.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers (9-7) -- Don't underestimate the fact they're the defending champs. Before his injury Wednesday, James was putting up those 31-8-8 numbers, the kind of figures that make Oscar Robertson proud.
5. New Jersey Nets (7-8) -- Of note: Kidd got his fourth triple-double of the season and 91st of his career Tuesday. Could be a scary playoff team.
6. Toronto Raptors (8-7) -- Chris Bosh, who left Wednesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies with a strained groin, is the fifth-best power forward in the game (after Tim Duncan, Garnett, Carlos Boozer and Dirk Nowitzki). His health is key. So is that of T.J. Ford, who has a great ability to force the tempo but has to stay healthy.
7. Milwaukee Bucks (7-6) -- After watching the playoffs from the sideline last year, the most prolific shooter in the game, Michael Redd, returns to the postseason. He's shown he can score from all kinds of angles, off picks and from the 3-point line. Mo Williams has emerged at the point, and Yi Jianlian has shown something right away.
8. Miami Heat (4-10) -- Last but not least! No playoffs in the East would be complete without Pat Riley, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade.
That leaves out the Chicago Bulls. The team has had slow starts in recent years. But the Kobe Bryant trade talks, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon contract extensions, and Kirk Hinrich playing like a shell of his former self so far should keep them out of the playoff picture.
ESPN analyst Jalen Rose averaged 14.6 points per game in 59 career NBA playoff games. For more about Jalen, visit his Web site: JalenRose.com.
Dimes Past: November 12 | 13| 14| 15 | 16 | 17-18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 24-25 | 26 | 27 | 28
There have been 19 teams in NBA history with three players who scored 20 or more points per game (minimum 40 games each player). None of those 19 teams won the NBA title.
Paul Pierce (21.7), Kevin Garnett (20.8) and Ray Allen (20.3) make up the only NBA trio currently averaging more than 20 points per game.
Team | Players |
1990-91 Warriors | Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond |
1987-88 Sonics | Tom Chambers, Dale Ellis, Xavier McDaniel |
1986-87 Sonics | Tom Chambers, Dale Ellis, Xavier McDaniel |
1983-84 76ers | Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney |
Notes on the Heat-Celtics, which can be seen at 8 p.m. ET Friday on ESPN and ESPN360:
And from that time on, Pierce has been called "The Truth."
• Kevin Garnett has recorded a double-double in nine straight games against the Heat, dating back to the start of the 2003-04 season.
• Pierce had 12 points against the Heat earlier this season. He has played 28 games in his career against Miami and that was the lowest scoring game for him against the Heat. It is also a season-low in points for Pierce.
At some point, Boston coach Doc Rivers might scale back on the minutes of his top trio. They are all among the leaders in the NBA.
Player | Age | MPG | Rank |
Ray Allen | 32 | 40.4 | 3 |
Paul Pierce | 30 | 39.0 | 12 |
Kevin Garnett | 31 | 38.2 | 15 |
• Each of the last three games between these teams has been decided by three points or less. The Heat are 2-1 in those games.
• The Heat are forcing 17.9 turnovers per game since Wade came back (7 games). The Heat forced 14.4 turnovers per game in their first seven games, played without Wade.
Shaquille O'Neal is no longer the dominant player he once was, now in his 16th season. Last season was the first in O'Neal's career averaging less 20 points per game.
Player | First Sub-20 PPG | Age |
Shaquille O'Neal | 15th season | 35 |
Hakeem Olajuwon | 14th season | 35 |
Patrick Ewing | 14th season | 34 |
Wilt Chamberlain | 13th season | 35 |
• The Heat have won three of their last five games after a 1-8 start.
• The Heat have won two straight home games after losing five straight home games to start the season.
• The Heat have shot better than 55 percent from the field in each of their last two home games, both wins.
• It appears 1980s band Loverboy was right -- everybody is "Working for the Weekend." During the week (Mon-Fri), the Heat are 0-9. On the weekend (Sat-Sun), Miami is 4-1.
-- Compiled by Peter Newmann
Mike (PHX AZ): David, if teaching a player to shoot is so easy, why don't all players in the NBA shoot well is this just a question of effort we're talking about here? If they aren't learning to shoot, what the heck are they doing in practice and drills, or offseason work for that matter?
David Thorpe: 1. Not everyone can teach shooting. 2. Making it and shooting it are wholly different. Talent is part of the equation.
Samuel (Tucson, AZ): DT! With all his athletic skill, how good could Shawn Marion be if he just learned how to shoot properly? I think he could be an All NBA first teamer because he gets 15 points a game on garbage buckets anyway. If he had a stroke, what could he do?
David Thorpe: Yes, I believe he'd make more shots if he had better fundamentals. But I don't think he agrees.
-- Andrew Ayres
Celtics coach Doc Rivers talks to Stephen A. Smith about the development of the team. Rivers remembers the night Boston got Kevin Garnett, talks about depth, keeping minutes down, distributing the ball, and the Eastern Conference favorites.
Here are David Thorpe's top rookies four weeks into the season:
(Previous rank in parentheses)
1. Juan Carlos Navarro, Grizzlies (6)2. Kevin Durant, Sonics (2)
I see him starting to catch on, realizing that he is too long and skilled to be defended well on dribble-drives. He seems to be playing with more discipline, too. I sense that once he moves into the top spot on this list, he'll grow roots there.
3. Al Horford, Hawks (3)
"I, Robot" is what Horford's all about, and I mean that as a total compliment. He's not robotic on the floor, but he's so consistent and predictable that he seems more machine than human. Unintelligent players are just the opposite; Horford is as intelligent for a rookie on the court as they come. Teams are starting to see his mid-post face-up game, too, which is fairly developed already.
4. Yi Jianlian, Bucks (1)
He is still performing well overall but not at the same level he was two weeks ago. Rookies sometimes feel like they are playing a game every night. That is what Yi has looked like lately.
AP Photo/David Zalubowski
Rockets guard Steve Francis gets close to Steve Nash. He played a season-high 27 minutes, putting up nine points and seven assists in a 100-94 win over Phoenix.

No sign of ladybirds on my snowdrops unfortunately - Lovely capture Brian
A fabulous macro Brian, to catch the two ladybirds on the snowdrop was a real bonus. I think we can safely say that there won't be many ladybirds on snowdrops this February unless the weather starts to warm up considerably!
Great capture...I have seen a couple of ladybirds about even having had some frosts.
The strong contrast between the white and red make for a striking image.
incredible seems like February and May on the same day!
an amazing image of a rare sight, beautifully composed
both ladybirds extremely sharp making a superb picture
Cracking shot Bri, excellent composition and colour.

text: Partisan split could gridlock NY Senate By: The Associated Press February 16, 2010 1 Comment New York lawmakers say last week's loss of a Democratic vote could prompt more cooperation in the New York Senate, which devolved into squabbling and gridlock last summer. Or it could mean more of that partisan divisiveness. "Without a clear majority in the Senate, Democrats need to work with Republicans in a bipartisan way," said Sen. ...

Charter airlines must boost protection
- Published: 16 Dec 2012 at 18.24 | Viewed: 4,467 | Comments: 1
- Online news:
- Writer: Amornrat Mahitthirook
The Transport Ministry is drafting new rules that will require charter airlines to place financial guarantees and take proper care of passengers in the event that they cannot operate flights.
Transport Minister Chadchart Sithipan said new ministerial regulations would require all charter airlines to submit bank guarantees to the Civil Aviation Department at least three days prior to operating a non-scheduled or charter flight. The money would be a surety to cover any damage suffered by passengers and/or tour operators in the event of a flight cancellation.
The move follows the recent stranding of passengers by PC Air. South Korean authorities stopped the Thai airline's sole 200-seater plane from taking off from Seoul's Incheon airport in October.

Fairholme GSE Proposal: What's In It For Shareholders
TheStreet) -- Shares of
Fannie Mae
(FNMA) and
Freddie Mac
(FMCC) jumped Thursday following a
The fund manager's
The new companies would be capitalized with $34.6 billion from the conversion of junior preferred stock in the entities to common shares. At least another $17.3 billion of new capital would be raised from the junior preferred stockholders in a rights offering.
The government sponsored enterprises' legacy book of investments and insurance would be wound down and the proceeds would be used to fully repay the Treasury and provide a profit to taxpayers. Any proceeds remaining would go to common shareholders.
The proposal was pitched as an answer to the "broad bipartisan call for more private capital in a way that can advances reform from concept to a viable, sustainable solution," but analysts reacted with skepticism. "No matter the type of fund - hedge, mutual, or private equity - the bulk of lawmakers will publicly distance themselves from any proposal which could be framed as "enriching" money managers no matter its merits," Isaac Boltansky, analyst with Compass Point, wrote in a note. Still, shares of Fannie Mae rose 17% to close at $3.06 on Thursday, while shares of Freddie Mac closed 18.8% higher at $2.90. Meanwhile, the preferred shares of the entities did not rise much on the news, even though there was significant trading volume. The Fannie Mae Preferred Shares S Series, which trades at about 34 cents to the dollar, was down 1.9% at $8.68. The Freddie Mac Preferred Shares Z Series, which trades at 35 cents to the dollar, finished 1% higher at $8.90. For common shareholders, the biggest advantage might come from the fact that "preferred stock is removed as a senior claim on the run-off value of Fannie and Freddie." That means, common shareholders will stand next in line after the government is repaid.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Gear indicator and steering wheel.
I have a 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic and recently when I shift from drive to park the indicator on the steering column doesn't go to the P all the way anymore. It hangs halfway between Reverse and Park. Also about within a day or so I noticed that my steering wheel is no longer centered. It's off to the left slightly while driving straight. I do have wider than stock wheels and tires on it, and the front tires will hit the wheel wells some when turning too sharp. But this normally only happens when turning around to park. Could these two problems be related? What would cause this?
Sponsored Links | |||
Advertisement |
I'm not sure about an '84, but on older models the shift indicator was controlled by a cord that ran from the indicator to the steering column, where it was clipped to the collar. When you shift, the collar that the shift lever is mounted rotates and either pulls or releases the cord.
If you remove the cover under the steering column, you should be able to locate the clip and cord. It's just a case of moving the clip on the collar. |
Hhhmmm I'll see what I can find today and let you know. Would that also have an affect on the steering wheel being off. That happened just out of the blue. No major shock to the steering or anything. Just some tire rub.
It shouldn't affect the steering at all. The indicator is spring-loaded (small) and the cord is connected by the small metal clip to the shift collar which doesn't move when you steer.

4.5 Brilliant MrJamesBond007 | 06/12/2010 | See all MrJamesBond007's reviews (45) All the reviews I've read say the controls are hard to get used to but me and my brother had no trouble getting to grips with them, and were fighting on "Legend" difficulty in no time. ALOT better than the 2008 version, this game has alot wider variety of matches and the even when you complete the "Road To Wrestlemania" mode you can fight to boost your superstars abilities. There's always something to do, and it's a great game to just pick up and play.If you're a big wrestling fan you'll want the latest version for the updated rosters but if you just want a good fighting game, you cant go wrong with this one.
4.5 hard to get used to the controls Cheekymonkey302 | 22/01/2009 | See all Cheekymonkey302's reviews (3) I do like the game and it is very interactive. But hard to get used to unlike previous games. Still for £14.99 it is a good game.
4.5 bringing back the memories...with a bang! grandmasterm | 11/01/2009 | See all grandmasterm's reviews (2) Although i have not watched wwe since my early teens, i thought this game would be worth a shot for £14.99...and i was not disappointed. Graphics and gameplay better than i expected. Well worth taking advantage of the bargin!
4.5 what a game adamlfc1277 | 06/01/2009 | See all adamlfc1277's reviews (1) Smackdown vs raw is the best wwf or wwe game ever made! It fast exciting not only can you have story mode but road to wrestlemania to make you feel like your in the locker room. Amazing!!!!
4.5 What a game?!!!! hareends | 05/01/2009 | See all hareends's reviews (4) The interactive entrance sequences are amazing!!! With the wii style of play you feel like you are really in the fight!!Also love the abuse and interaction between the superstars and crowd!!If you haven't got it - buy it!!!!!!!!
4.5 Can't say anything bad bradomaniac | 29/12/2008 | See all bradomaniac's reviews (3) This game is one of my best crimbo presys ever. I love the enterance seence you can do and all in all not a bad word to say
4.5 Sadness RonaldoforVegas | 19/12/2008 | See all RonaldoforVegas's reviews (2) Just a little annoyed with this game it doesnt have CAF(Create a finisher) and no inferno match .Also i bought this game for £30.00 a month ago and now it is £15.00 but a good buy except for them reasons one of the wwe games ever

4.5 Quick Question Woodsterwoo | 13/11/2008 | See all Woodsterwoo's reviews (2) I know that lasts years game had limited amount of match types - I also know that they have added new ones to the 2009 version so I just wanted to know all the match types on the new game on wii.
4.5 Amazing in comparison!! hartbreakid | 09/11/2008 | See all hartbreakid's reviews (6) This game is fantastic in comparison to last years version which was pathetic. The game-modes and extras are phoneminal compared to SVR 08, and the gameplay is better also! I really would reccomend. Only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is because, in comparison to the X box version, there are less features. But only minor ones!!

I would be apathetic...Submitted by Guest2234 (not verified) on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 4:19pm.
BUT my car was keyed and my McCain sticker was pulled off. On a separate incident my McCain sign was stolen from my house, and I have witnessed OBAMA '08 being written AND spray painted on public buildings. I am ready to see this election end

Of course there has been discrimination against men through history in some circumstances, as well as discrimination along the lines of race or social class, which affects men and women both. That's irrelevant to whether a certain policy is discrimination against women, which is what I was talking about. One neither excludes nor excuses the other.
Actually I have, and generally I do think before I write or speak. I understand perfectly well that social customs can evolve to benefit one or another group of people in a given social environment. I also don't care a whit about whether a policy is "good for society" (although how you can make that claim with a straight face when the policy in question is clearly bad for women, who are half of any society, is beyond me). "Society" is a made-up abstraction. A person is not. There are people, and there are more people. If a policy unjustly deprives a class of people of their rightfully owned property, that is an unjust and immoral policy. I don't care if it's good for someone else; it's morally wrong. What you're doing is harming a person, who is a real and concrete being, in order to help a society, which is a made-up construct composed of other people you have lumped into a group. So what you are actually doing is stealing from a person to help other people you have taken the liberty to decide are more deserving of someone else's things.
Um, yes, I am genuinely offended by sexism and sex discrimination. The amount of offense I take is also naturally partly a product of my upbringing, education and exposure to modern culture. I suspect if I had been brought up in Victorian England or some such I would be much more tolerant of rigidly enforced gender roles and unequal property and participatory rights for women. What's your point? Sounds to me like society has made progress on this front and I have benefited from that progress by being raised as a more tolerant and fair-minded person than I might otherwise have.
