Japan's economy likely in recession
Publication Date : 08-11-2012
The composite index of coincident economic indicators for September dropped for the sixth straight month, indicating Japan's economy has likely entered a recession, according to the Cabinet Office.
The coincident CI, which reflects current economic conditions, stood at 91.2 compared with 100 for the base year of 2005, down 2.3 points from the previous month, the office said in a preliminary report released Tuesday.
In addition to declining exports stemming from a slowdown in overseas economies, some indicators, such as industrial output and shipments of durable goods, dropped due to sluggish domestic auto sales following the end of a government subsidy program for purchases of environmentally friendly vehicles.
The Cabinet Office revised downward its basic assessment, saying the national economy has moved into a recessionary phase and is likely in the first stages of an economic slowdown.
This was the first such assessment made since May 2011, just after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
Concerning future prospects, the Cabinet Office said it will be necessary to keep a close eye on the global economic downturn and exports.
Some market observers suspect the domestic economy entered a recessionary phase after peaking in March.
Sluggish exports cast dark clouds
The government will need to closely analyse various data before officially stating the economy has entered a recession. However, dark clouds are looming.
"It's fairly difficult to judge whether the country has moved into an economic slump as we have to comprehensively consider various indicators," said Seiji Maehara, state minister for economic and fiscal policy.
The economy had been expanding since bottoming out in March 2009.
However, to some economists, there is no question that the economy is in trouble.
"The current economic situation is clearly getting worse, it's not simply stagnant," said Yoshiki Shinke, a senior economist at the Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute. "I suspect the national economy peaked in March this year."
This is the first time the CI has dropped for six straight months since a 10-month period of decline from June 2008 to March 2009, which included the so-called Lehman Shock in September 2008.
Declining exports caused by the global economic slowdown, sluggish domestic auto sales and the detrimental effects of soured relations with China over the Senkaku Islands have aggravated the situation.
The government on Monday will issue a preliminary report on the nation's seasonally adjusted real gross domestic product for the July-September period, in which negative growth estimates are expected for the first time in the last five quarters. Furthermore, some observers believe negative GDP growth will continue into the next October-December quarter.
The government has not abandoned hope that the economy will recover if overseas economies improve along with the beneficial effects of increased demand for reconstruction in areas hit by the March 2011 disaster.
"There are signs the Chinese economy has bottomed out, so the Japanese economy is expected to recover in a relatively short time," said Yoko Takeda, senior economist at the Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc.
However, the leading index--a yardstick for economic performance in the months ahead--was down 1.5 points at 91.7, the first drop in two months.
If exports continue to lag for reasons such as ongoing tensions with China, it will cause further production declines, which could have an adverse impact on employment. -- Hiroyuki Kato

Pretty good
I won't flag this, it's not bad, there is nothing wrong with it either.
I think for an improvement, you should make a replay button that brings you back to the start of the film. I like how the doll doesn't actually die, but given the paint and paint spill, it resembles death.
Thank-you for the suggestion. It has been implemented.
Rather entertaining...
I must say, you've done a pretty good job with this animation, it beats almost every stick figure flash cartoon anyday. Bravo.

The Dream Continues: Photographs of Martin Luther King Murals by Vergara
Vergara remarked about his work that "most murals and street portraits of Dr. King are ephemeral. Paint fades, businesses change hands and neighborhood demographics shift. Gradually, images reflecting the culture and values of poor communities are lost….Often, my photographs are the only lasting record of these public works of art." This exhibition offers the opportunity to study the manner in which Martin Luther King, Jr. has reached into the hearts of artists from New York to Los Angeles, Chicago to Detroit, and how the artists's images have depicted the soul of the great civil rights leader in a manner that reaches out to communities nation-wide.
Camilo Vergara will donate all of the works in The Dream Continues: Photographs of Martin Luther King Murals by Vergara to the New-York Historical Society after the close of the exhibition. For more information on Camilo Vergara, visit his website.
Freedom Now: Photographs by Platon
Platon was born in London in 1968. Raised in Greece until age seven, he moved back to London and eventually attended St. Martin's School of Art where he received his B.A. with honors in Graphic Design. Platon received his M.A. in Photography from the Royal College of Art. In 1992 he won British Vogue's "Best up-and-coming- Photographer" award. Platon moved to New York City in 1998 where he worked for George magazine. His photographs have appeared in The New Yorker, Time, Rolling Stone, the New York Times magazine, Newsweek, and The Sunday Times and his work has been shown worldwide including in New York City, London, Milan, Tokyo and Paris.
This project is supported by a grant from the Nathan Cummings Foundation.

Texas Kickoff game picks up title sponsor
- Chris Shelton
- Editorial intern- Houston Business Journal
With a new sponsorship deal signed, Texas Kickoff officials believe the game can now attract better teams and plan more appealing match-ups.
Plano-based AdvoCare International LP inked a four-year deal with ESPN Regional to become the title sponsor of the Texas Kickoff, which matches up two college football programs in a nonconference game during Labor Day weekend at Reliant Stadium, the two companies said June 27.
"AdvoCare is a Texas company and the opportunity to support college football in their home state was a natural fit," Clint Overby, senior director of events for ESPN Regional Television, said in a statement.
As of the 2013 event, the game will be named the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff. The event will be operated in cooperation with Lone Star Sports & Entertainment.
The sponsorship gives the game future flexibility, said Jamey Rootes, president of the Houston Texans and Lone Star Sports & Entertainment.
"Now with AdvoCare we have the financial strength to go out and make big things happen for Houston, which was the vision from the beginning," Rootes said to Comcast SportsNet Houston.
Oklahoma State University and Mississippi State University will tussle in the first AdvoCare Texas Kickoff on Aug. 31.
The Texas Bowl, also operated by Lone Star Sports & Entertainment, is seeking a new title sponsor and executive director.

EPoX Optimus EP-AF590 SLI2 Motherboard - Benchmarks - PCMarkEPoX are under the spotlight with their Socket AM2 Optimus EP-AF590 SLI2 motherboard based on the nForce 590SLI chipset.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.2.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/pcmark04/
PCMark is a multipurpose benchmark, suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other MadOnion.com benchmarks.
Again at stock there is very little difference in the two - it's only when the overclocking comes into the firing line that we see the EPoX motherboard take the lead.

The transient fuel dock at Morningstar Marinas Mayport has recently been replaced. Located at the Mayport Inlet just East of Jacksonville, Fla., the fuel dock replacement was part of the complete redevelopment of the marina waterfront.
"The basin was in-operable and the fuel dock had been destroyed in a collision," reported Matt Shapiro, Assistant Vice President of Morningstar Properties.
Morningstar Properties hired Bellingham Marine to replace the 14-ft by 229-ft fuel dock. "We built the original fuel dock in 1994," said Ron Carey, Manager of Project Development for Bellingham Marine.
Prior to and during reconstruction boaters were forced to travel inland for fuel and transient dockage. "The lack of services caused many boaters and traffic to leave the area; the closest fuel and dockage facilities are miles away," said Shapiro. "Our goal is to refocus the boating energy in Jacksonville to the Mayport area, and completing this project was step number one."
The Mayport location, at the inlet to the Atlantic, is the best destination for travelers up and down the east coast or local blue water boaters. "Mayport is the newest addition to the Morningstar network. Quickly getting the facility condition up to our high standards in order to offer our full range of services was a priority and that made Bellingham the right choice," said Shapiro.
In addition to the fuel dock, which offers ethanol free gas and diesel, the marina has two dry storage buildings offering dry storage for 210 boats up to 30' in length plus wet slips for boats up to 150 ft in length. Morningstar Marinas is a collection of high quality marinas and marine properties throughout the Mid-Atlantic and the Southeastern United States. Morningstar Marinas offer a full range of services from wet and dry slip rentals to full service hospitality.
Unifloat, Unideck and Unistack are registered trademarks of Bellingham Marine.
BAE Systems announced it will invest approximately $100 million to expand drydocking capabilities at its San Diego shipyard.
The investment, which will include
Trinidad Dry Dock Company to develop new ship repair yard at Port of Spain; company requests Expressions of Interest for Environmental Impact Assessment and Geotechnical
Klaus Nyborg, interim CEO at Denmark-based dry bulk and product tanker shipping company Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S, expects difficult dry cargo market conditions

Protest Sign Reminders: What The Liberal Rallies From The Bush Years Were Like (22 pics)
There are a lot of Tea Parties coming up this week and we all know what the routine will be. The left-wing media will descend on the rallies, find the most ignorant people they can, carrying the most ludicrous signs, some of whom will undoubtedly be liberals trying to make the Tea Parties look bad, and they'll tell you that's what the Tea Parties are all about.
Now, if they'd done the same thing during the Bush years, nobody could complain. However, back then, they sanitized the liberal rallies. No controversial signs made the papers. Radicals were almost never interviewed. It was the fluffy, happy propaganda for the people version of what was really happening.
However, fortunately, I LOVED it when the left-wing anti-war rallies, the Sheehan cryfests, the anti-Semitic marches, and the Code Pinko marches were going on. So, I happened to collect quite a few protest sign pics of interest during those years. Today, I'm going to put some of them out there as a little reminder for everyone. When your local left-wing MSM source starts trying to tell you that the Tea Parties are all radicals, point 'em right here, to this post, and let them see what "radical" really looks like.

How would you design the data model for an inventory management system in RDBMS?
Would you:
- store each purchase & usage, and uses SUM() and GROUP BY to calculate the warehouse quantity on-the-fly?
- same as 1, but consolidate the quantity daily, and use the value of the previous day?
- quantity as an Int field, update through application layer?
- same as 3, but make use of DB trigger?
Transaction-based inventory system seems to be superior in terms of level of details it captures, but it is harder to implement it correctly. Performance will degrade over time.
Quantity-based inventory system seems much easier, but might need extra lockings to make sure the Qty value is ++ or -- correct.
Which one would you choose?

Navigating turbulent waters of uncertain budgets, district leaders have a great challenge: Answer the growing push for accountability and heightened community expectations in 2015.
Exciting advancements are on the horizon for classrooms in 2015. While they sound technical, the biggest changes aren't going to be driven by an app, a computer program or a new kind of tablet—they will come from new theories about how to engage both students and teachers in the classroom.
Praised and pilloried at both ends of the political spectrum, the Common Core State Standards—and the years-long effort to establish national benchmarks for student learning—will pass a crucial milestone in 2015, when 11.5 million American schoolchildren finally tackle Common Core-linked math and English tests.
Blended learning is poised to transform education as we know it.

So this is what Duguidgate feels like. After umpteen summer sensations and as many winter whisperings, Karl Duguid`s actual departure, from Colchester to Plymouth, happened with everyone looking the other way. A bloodless revolution unfolds in the town where Boudicca first made conflict fashionable.
Manager Geraint Williams is obviously mobilising his men for a fresh fight in League One after relegation, but the bigger strategy is negated here temporarily because each United fan has an internal battle to brave.
Turn off the tennis, forget Formula One and evade the European Championships for a mere moment. Select instead from the mind`s memory-bank the most special memories provided by Duguid, a magnificent number Seven. The man was an generational icon for so many fans over fourteen years and more than four-hundred games.
Revisionism always wields its corrosive axe, so there will already be those among U`s followers who are doing cartwheels now that Duguid has finally moved on, but facts cannot be glossed over. History says the now former Colchester skipper lead his beloved club to their highest level ever, and had a ball doing it. He memorably found the net against rivals Ipswich Town (twice) during 2006/7, faced the charge of Chelsea in the FA Cup, and defied long odds to overcome a potentially debilitating injury.
Karl also holds the dubious honour of reportedly rejecting overtures from Hull, Charlton, and a host of Premier League teams, within the past two years. All while watching his nearest and dearest club comrades, with whom he shared grass blades, changing-rooms and medals, filing for the exit.
Now that Duguid has chosen to go, only a severe strain of sporting amnesia could allow critics to deny his mammoth contribution to Colchester`s assent of upward mobility in the Football League.
It`s perhaps more symbolic than that, though. Duguid`s sale takes the same ball and chain that demolished Layer Road right through a mythology arguing the right-winger was forever on the Prodigal Son pedestal.
Minus the character-stuffed stadium and seminal skipper, Colchester United`s wholesale changes usher in a new era.
Over-eager spivs were selling the mantra of change for the better this time last season though, too, as Wayne Brown, Jamie Cureton and Chris Iwelumo all shed their stripes in return for Championship regression. The club seemed glued to the bottom of the division due to Second Season Syndrome.
What Duguid`s sale does now is raise the stakes for next season because Williams has let a player who apparently bled blue go without much media pomp and no suggestion of his replacement.
While we`re plying the tables, it`s worth noting that Duguid`s departure, whether you thought of him as a media-darling or match-day menace, could be a gamble to define Geraint Williams` tenure at the club.
Unless the U`s play their way to the League One summit this side of Christmas, the smart money says supporters will hark back to Karl the way England fans did David Beckham during the dross under Steve McClaren`s England.
Maintain the only position in the standings that matters, as near to the top as possible, and the Duguid days will dissolve a little quicker. No matter that the affectionately-known Doogie has run his best years into the ground for Colchester`s cause: this titanic transfer is a tipping point, no question.
The hope is that fans might recall how Duguid`s stock had fallen in the past year because of some mediocre displays, and logic invites us to reason that selling a 30-year-old past his prime might actually represent shrewd business. Others could claim that, by cashing in the chips on his Colchester legacy now, Karl has also prevented those who held him as an idol in Essex from seeing the demise of his physical attributes.
There can be nothing more dispiriting than watching the hands of time strip away a player`s strength, skill and stealth when age attacks.
The romantics among us already point to Karl`s U`s legacy as a something suspended for the time being, not completely ended; they harbour a desire to see him back at some point as a boss.
But put gazing at the future on hold, because Duguid was an authentic star in North Essex, the like of which are seen once in a blue and white moon. Hack away a personal preference debate over the player`s character, and resulting love-hate hype. Respectfully overlook his at times surprisingly suspect centre of gravity, too, in favour of what he actually achieved for the club.
Then, a majority of Colchester United fans will always be able to think of him as a U`s regular who now just so happens to turn out for Plymouth Argyle.

Don't mention the war - on nuclear power stance unworthy of smart nation
Relevant offers
You've got to hand it to the Germans - this strange race has a weird tendency of periodically being unable to see the wood for the trees. It is extraordinary that such an intelligent, industrious and cultured people can occasionally get the big things so spectacularly wrong.
The Wisdom of Crowds doesn't seem to work in Germany. Eighty years ago they failed to spot what a megalomaniacal monster Hitler was until it was too late, and now they are flummoxed by nuclear energy.
Angela Merkel's decision to phase out/close down their nuclear plants defies rational explanation. David Lange succeeded in brainwashing this country with a series of smart-arse one-liners and half truths, but such nonsense doesn't normally wash in a country that has operated nuclear plants without incident for decades. Germany knows a lot about them, given that about 30 per cent of their power is nuclear. The latest U-turn is the result of Fukushima, and Merkel is being forced by MMP- driven electoral necessity to pander to the ravings of a numerically illiterate minority, who have whipped themselves up into an "emperor's clothes" fury over an invisible bogey man. Like us, Germany too is hamstrung by MMP.
What Fukushima really demonstrated is that a 40-year-old nuclear power plant can withstand a Richter 9 earthquake, and if the Japanese had bothered to "tsunami-proof" the cooling water pumps - by putting a simple concrete shield over them - the current problems wouldn't have arisen. But Fukushima also demonstrated the stupidity of locating a coastal power plant in the Bay of Sendai, which has a long history of tsunamis. Rather than explaining these simple facts, a sensationalist, and intellectually dishonest media has done its best to scare ignorant masses witless worldwide.
Not for nothing is the word tsunami Japanese. The reason all European languages have had to co-opt it is you don't get tsunamis coming down the Rhine or out of the North Sea. Major earthquakes only happen in seismically active regions, and the nearest active seismic zone to Northern Europe is thousands of kilometres away in southern Italy or Turkey.
What is equally puzzling is that Germany is a front-runner as a nation convinced of anthropogenic climate change, and the need to cut CO2. They are world leaders in developing renewable alternatives - they don't need James Lovelock's doomsday predictions to convince them that coal must be phased out.
Unlike New Zealand, where we can probably achieve a reliable 90 per cent renewables generation mix, large industrial countries like Germany have few choices for reliable CO2-free spinning reserve 24/7 - just nuclear, hydro, or geothermal.
Germany has long had preferential tariffs for solar and wind generation, and they have committed huge R&D resources to drive down the cost of solar PV power - despite not being the first country that comes to mind in topping the sunshine polls. Solar PV costs may well be falling fast, but that counts for nothing on grey days.
What is even weirder is that much of the rest of Europe seems to have finally woken up to the need for CO2 reduction, and many adjoining countries are in the process of reviving their nuclear programmes. The UK is - hardly surprising given that much of the power used in London comes under the channel from French nuclear plants in Normandy. If nuclear plants have to be so close, why not build your own and be doubly certain that appropriate safety regimes are being followed, rather than importing from France?
The French have been more than 80 per cent nuclear for decades and expect to make a killing selling proven technology. Poland has stated that they are going to commence nuclear construction.
On overcast, windless days - a not unusual situation in Northern Europe - Germany is going to be in the absurd situation of having to buy nuclear power from both its next-door neighbours - France to the west and Poland the east. This must be obvious to Chancellor Merkel, who is a trained physicist and who can count.
About the only other country that comes to mind with such senseless objection to nuclear power - but where solar will eventually be economic - is Australia.
Given the irrationality floating about on this subject, it's a good thing that nuclear plants don't make economic sense in New Zealand, because if they did you have to admit that when it comes to mind-numbing stupidity on such matters, as a nation, we are as bad or worse than the Germans.

The 'Third Way' was short of straight reclassification, instead combining applying some Title II regs and forebearing others.

Fallout continues from confrontation between Douglas Brinkley, Alaska congressman
Dr. Douglas Brinkley, the Rice University professor who earlier this month got into a heated confrontation with Alaska Rep. Don Young during a Congressional hearing on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, is fanning the flames of their sudden feud.
A week ago, Young and Brinkley got testy with one another after Young incorrectly called Dr. Brinkley "Dr. Rice," and then referred to the professor's testimony on ANWR as "garbage." Brinkley confronted Young, correcting him on his name and incorrectly claiming that Young never graduated from college.Young eventually told Brinkley, "You just be quiet. You be quiet," at which point the committee chair stepped in to mediate between Young and the still-riled Brinkley....

The world's rubbish dump: a tip that stretches from Hawaii to Japan
A C Grayling
A. C. Grayling is an English philosopher and founder of independent undergraduate college, New College of the Humanities. He is the author of several books including The Refutation of Scepticism (1985), The Meaning of Things (2001) and The Good Book (2011).
Tuesday 05 February 2008
A "plastic soup" of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said.
The vast expanse of debris – in effect the world's largest rubbish dump – is held in place by swirling underwater currents. This drifting "soup" stretches from about 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan.
Charles Moore, an American oceanographer who discovered the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" or "trash vortex", believes that about 100 million tons of flotsam are circulating in the region. Marcus Eriksen, a research director of the US-based Algalita Marine Research Foundation, which Mr Moore founded, said yesterday: "The original idea that people had was that it was an island of plastic garbage that you could almost walk on. It is not quite like that. It is almost like a plastic soup. It is endless for an area that is maybe twice the size as continental United States."
Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an oceanographer and leading authority on flotsam, has tracked the build-up of plastics in the seas for more than 15 years and compares the trash vortex to a living entity: "It moves around like a big animal without a leash." When that animal comes close to land, as it does at the Hawaiian archipelago, the results are dramatic. "The garbage patch barfs, and you get a beach covered with this confetti of plastic," he added.
The "soup" is actually two linked areas, either side of the islands of Hawaii, known as the Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches. About one-fifth of the junk – which includes everything from footballs and kayaks to Lego blocks and carrier bags – is thrown off ships or oil platforms. The rest comes from land.
Mr Moore, a former sailor, came across the sea of waste by chance in 1997, while taking a short cut home from a Los Angeles to Hawaii yacht race. He had steered his craft into the "North Pacific gyre" – a vortex where the ocean circulates slowly because of little wind and extreme high pressure systems. Usually sailors avoid it.
He was astonished to find himself surrounded by rubbish, day after day, thousands of miles from land. "Every time I came on deck, there was trash floating by," he said in an interview. "How could we have fouled such a huge area? How could this go on for a week?"
Mr Moore, the heir to a family fortune from the oil industry, subsequently sold his business interests and became an environmental activist. He warned yesterday that unless consumers cut back on their use of disposable plastics, the plastic stew would double in size over the next decade.
Professor David Karl, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii, said more research was needed to establish the size and nature of the plastic soup but that there was "no reason to doubt" Algalita's findings.
"After all, the plastic trash is going somewhere and it is about time we get a full accounting of the distribution of plastic in the marine ecosystem and especially its fate and impact on marine ecosystems."
Professor Karl is co-ordinating an expedition with Algalita in search of the garbage patch later this year and believes the expanse of junk actually represents a new habitat. Historically, rubbish that ends up in oceanic gyres has biodegraded. But modern plastics are so durable that objects half-a-century old have been found in the north Pacific dump. "Every little piece of plastic manufactured in the past 50 years that made it into the ocean is still out there somewhere," said Tony Andrady, a chemist with the US-based Research Triangle Institute.
Mr Moore said that because the sea of rubbish is translucent and lies just below the water's surface, it is not detectable in satellite photographs. "You only see it from the bows of ships," he said.
According to the UN Environment Programme, plastic debris causes the deaths of more than a million seabirds every year, as well as more than 100,000 marine mammals. Syringes, cigarette lighters and toothbrushes have been found inside the stomachs of dead seabirds, which mistake them for food.
Plastic is believed to constitute 90 per cent of all rubbish floating in the oceans. The UN Environment Programme estimated in 2006 that every square mile of ocean contains 46,000 pieces of floating plastic,
Dr Eriksen said the slowly rotating mass of rubbish-laden water poses a risk to human health, too. Hundreds of millions of tiny plastic pellets, or nurdles – the raw materials for the plastic industry – are lost or spilled every year, working their way into the sea. These pollutants act as chemical sponges attracting man-made chemicals such as hydrocarbons and the pesticide DDT. They then enter the food chain. "What goes into the ocean goes into these animals and onto your dinner plate. It's that simple," said Dr Eriksen.

In the writer-director's new film, Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts' characters befriend a younger, free-spirited couple.
Actress, singer and dancer Rita Moreno has had an extensive and successful career.
She's one of the few performers to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.
But she also had a tumultuous life – an affair with Marlon Brando led to a suicide attempt, and she struggled with being typecast as the exotic ethnic performer.
She's now published "Rita Moreno: A Memoir" about her life.
But before that, she told her story on stage in a one-woman show, "Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup," at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in Berkeley, Calif., in 2011.
We revisit our conversation with Moreno about her show and her life.

Three Stars of the Night: Bombs Away
Nov 8, 2012, 2:38 AM EDT
Chicks dig the long ball, right? Well, for tonight's Three Stars we've got some sharp shooting goodness from behind the arc, a man who's getting awful comfortable in this space, and an off the bench performance that sunk the struggling Lakers.
Third Star: Randy Foye (17 points, 5-9 three pointers)
It wasn't so much the efficiency as Foye only hit 5 of his 11 shots from the floor (though all of them were three pointers). It wasn't the fact that he led his team in scoring (sorry, that was Al Jefferson with 18 points). And it wasn't the fact that Foye stuffed the stat sheet in other areas that helped his team win the game (he only had one rebound and no assists on the night). Nope. It was none of that.
It was the fact that Foye hit big shot after big shot in the 4th quarter against the Lakers to keep them reeling on the ropes and ultimately delivered the knock out blow. With the Lakers making a push in the middle of the period and closing the gap to a very manageable five points, Foye hit three pointers on back to back to back possessions to put the Jazz back up by eleven.
After the final shot went through the net the Lakers comeback was toast and Foye was the hero for his team. He felt so good, he even tried to chest bump his head coach (who wasn't having any of it).
Second Star: Kenneth Faried (16 points, 16 rebounds)
After making this list for the second straight night, we may just have to start a Faried feature here at PBT. After his performance tonight in the Nuggets win over the Rockets, he's certainly earned it.
With Faried it's pretty simple. He simply out-works and out-hustles you on every play. He's a demon around the paint on both ends of the floor, tireless on the glass, and finds a way to get baskets even though he's undersized. Tonight he was a real difference maker for the Nuggets. Plus, he hooked up with Andre Miller on an early candidate for lob of the year:
First Star: Shannon Brown (24 points in 24 minutes, 6-8 from behind the arc)
Sometimes a player gets so hot that you really can't believe what you're seeing. Everything coming off his hand looks like it's going in and nearly every single time it actually does. Tonight, in the 4th quarter of the Suns/Bobcats game, that was Shannon Brown.
Coming into that final period, Brown had performed quite normally in scoring six points on only 1-4 shooting. And then it all changed. One deep three fell through off an assist from Sebastian Telfair. Then another hit the bottom of the net. Then another. THEN ANOTHER.
By the time the period was over Brown had hit six threes in the period without missing a single one and had helped the Suns pull out the win on the road. There aren't many nights where any player is going to be that hot for even a short stretch of the game, much less an entire period. It was a sight to behold. See for yourself:

Barry Zito's spotless spring ended when he gave up three home runs to the Los Angeles Angels in the third inning Tuesday, but the Oakland Athletics also had a big day at the plate in a 13-10 victory. Zito, trying a comeback after sitting out last season, had thrown 13 scoreless innings in Cactus League play before Collin Cowgill, Kole Calhoun and David Freese went deep for the Angels. The 36-year-old Zito, a three-time All-Star, began his career in Oakland and won the 2002 AL Cy Young Award with the A's. "They had one tough inning where they made some good swings on him," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "He was really one pitch away from getting out of the inning where three runs scored." Mark Canha hit his fifth homer and Luke Carlin also connected off Angels closer Huston Street in the top of the third.
