More highlights include the celebrity-judged "Best Ribs" award and "RibMania," the Midwest's only professional rib-eating competition featuring top ranked eaters and sanctioned by IFOCE/Major League Eating.

The 6th Annual RibMania hosts world ranked pro eaters at the Midwest's only sanctioned rib-eating contest, and families can spend the weekend in Kids Square enjoying entertainment, inflatables, games and more.

Brad Pistotnik breaks from brother to start his own law firm
WICHITA — There's no question that Affiliated Attorneys of Pistotnik Law Offices is now one Pistotnik short, but why that is isn't as clear.
Brothers Brad and Brian Pistotnik have been law partners "forever," as Brad Pistotnik says, but he's now left to start Brad Pistotnik Law.
"He just came in overnight on a Sunday and took all the client files and left," Brian Pistotnik says. He says his brother "deleted our client database – the clients that had been working with him."
"What's going through his mind, I have no idea, but this was a surprise," Brian Pistotnik says.
"Simply, I decided to get a new office location," Brad Pistotnik says.
"I've always vigorously represented my clients, and I am trying to focus my practice in a more focused area of law."
Pistotnik says he's planning to continue focusing on a range of motor vehicle accidents.
"It's a law practice that requires intensive litigation."
He says his previous firm is a more general practice.
Brian Pistotnik says that's not the case. He says he, too, focuses on accidents, although he says some of those are workers compensation cases.
Brad Pistotnik is still an owner in Pistotnik Law Offices with his brother.
"Well, for the present time I'm an owner there, but I'm slowly transitioning to the new firm," he says.
The Pistotnik name – specifically Brad Pistotnik – is one of the most well known in Wichita law firms due to extensive advertising, which has been handled by Nashville-based Whitehardt. The agency specializes in advertising and consulting for law firms.
Which of the two Pistotnik firms has rights to use the agency is now at issue.

Re: Dinghy Capsize
Regarding the rudder:
a) if you do a good job, no one will know it was homemade;
b) a first-time buyer is looking for a rudder, not a professionally-built rudder;
c) if money is a problem, make one and start saving up for the "real" thing; and
d) if you really don't want to make one, check eBay and Craigslist. You may need to move the pintles but I'm sure you can find something that will, at the very least, tide you over.
Regarding the rest of your experience:
welcome to dinghy sailing! That's what happens with small boats. You learned a lot of very good lessons. If you decide to go with a mast float, I've heard of everything from tying some empty milk jugs to the mast to going with manufactured floats like
this one
this one
this one
From a bigger perspective, I would not let this experience stop you from singlehanding. You are correct, you need to adjust your weight as the sail moves. Your position fore and aft, as well as laterally, make a huge difference in how a dinghy sails. Your boat probably weighs somewhere in the 200-400lb range. So, if you're an "average" guy, when you are aboard you increase the boat's weight by somewhere between 50% and 100%. Envision your boat as a see-saw (or teeter-totter) where the pivot point is around the centerline of the boat. On one side of the see-saw is your rear end, and on the other side is the sail which is full of wind. The sail balances out your weight (or vice versa). As the sail approaches the centerline of the boat, all of the "weight" (or, more correctly, the forces) shift from being somewhat balanced to being highly unbalanced as all of the forces are on one side of the see-saw. If you stay aware of the sail and pretend your body is the mirror image of the sail, and you'll help keep it from going over. It's not a 100% guarantee, but that's the easier way to do it. When your friend was aboard, I assume he sat on the opposide side of the boat as you. The see-saw in that case was never completely unbalanced, that's why you had a more "stable" ride.
More importantly, though, why gybe? In my admittedly limited experience, that typically involves much more signifcant forces and much faster movement than a tack. Stick to (mostly) tacking as you single-hand, and life is simpler.
None of this is a reason to not single-hand.

Enjoy your books.
Silver's Reviews
My Mailbox MondayMy wife has a mad lady-crush on The Pioneer Woman and her kitchen. I can't count the number of times she's made me look at "kitchen inspiration" photos spawned by that woman and her kitchen. Enjoy your books!
I love comments! Let me know what you thought of a particular book. If this is your first time visiting, tell how you found me.
If your email is not listed in your blogger profile, I will try and respond here in the comment section. But, please have your email address enabled in your profile. It makes it a lot easier for people to respond to comments and questions!
If you are here simply to spam or leave a link to some obscure place where you sell things, don't bother. Your comment will be deleted.
While I appreciate awards, I no longer accept them, but thank you for thinking of me. Your comments are reward enough!

Philadelphia, PAAldo Valtierra, of Mexico City, Mexico, who thought he lost a razor-thin 12-round split decision to Rogers Mtagwa, of Philadelphia, PA, for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) featherweight title last summer, gets a rematch over 10 rounds Friday evening, March 7, at the New Alhambra, Swanson & Ritner Streets, next to Forman Mills, in South Philadelphia. First of seven fights at 7.30 p.m. Univision/Telefutura will televise the Mtagwa-Valtierra rematch match as well as the eight-round featherweight semifinal between Teon Kennedy, of Philadelphia, PA, and Castulo Gonzalez, of Lynn, MA, as part of its popular Solo Boxeo series. The televised show begins at 8 p.m. with the Kennedy-Gonzalez bout. Valtierra, 37, accepted the fight Sunday (March 2) after David Martinez, of Albuquerque, NM, suffered an ankle injury Saturday during roadwork. Martinez himself was a replacement for Mtagwas original challenger, Roger Gonzalez, of Chino, CA, who sustained bruised, ribs in a Los Angeles sparring session. Following the Mtagwa-Valtierra fight last July 20, Mtagwa tested positive for ephedra, a weight-reducing drug, and the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission declared the fight a No Contest. However, Valtierra did not hear about the No Contest until he was asked Sunday to box Mtagwa again. Valtierra, who has not boxed since fighting Mtagwa last summer, is 24-9, 13 K0s. He has never been stopped. However, since he took the March 7 fight on five days notice, he says he cannot make the 126-pound championship limit. Therefore, this fight is scheduled for 10 rounds, not 12. Mtagwa, 28, has fought once since July 20. He moved up moved up in weight but lost on points to Australian Billy Dib in an eight-round contest Nov. 10 in Madison Square Garden. A pro since 1997, Mtagwa is 22-12-3, 17 K0s. In the co-feature bout, Kennedy, 21, will be going eight scheduled rounds for the first time in his brief career. The former National Golden Gloves Champion at 112 pounds in 2004, Kennedy turned pro 12 months ago and has won all seven pro fights, four by knockout. However, he has never boxed an opponent with a winning record. In his last fight Dec. 12, Kennedy scored a four-round decision over Arthur Parker, of Lancaster, PA. Gonzalez, 30, is originally from Guatemala. His 9-4 record includes four K0s. Three of Gonzalez setbacks were to undefeated fighters, including current United States Boxing Association (USBA) super bantamweight champion Mike Oliver, of Hartford, CT. Gonzalez also pinned the first loss on Philadelphias Ramaz Gazashvili in 2005 in Manchester, NH. Five preliminary fights complete the card, which is promoted by Don Chargin Productions, Peltz Boxing Promotions, Inc., and Joe Hand Promotions, Inc. Tickets priced at $40, $55 and $65 are on sale at the offices of Peltz Boxing Promotions, Inc., (215-765-0922) and also can be purchased online at www.peltzboxing.com.

Despite unpredictable weather, the club's New-England get-together was a big success. The weather was just unpredictable enough to discourage some, but they missed a great time. Sporadic drizzle started late in morning, with a couple of showers between noon and 1:00 PM, but by 3:00 the skies had cleared. Sadly. many people left as soon as the showers let up, and it kept many more people away, I'm sure.
Members came from several surrounding states -- New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and perhaps others.... An unofficial count showed at least 25 Simplicity and Allis-Chalmers garden tractors on display (counting the walkers) and several others for sale that remained on trailers. We certainly outnumbered both the John Deere and Cub Cadet crowds, and may actually had as many as both those brands combined. The Cub guys weren't very pleased! In that vein, the show opened on a great note -- watching this John Deere tow another one in, to our teasing and taunts....
Click for a closer view Nothing runs like a Deere . . . huh?
Several club members didn't bother bringing a tractor due to the weather. I'd estimate that perhaps as many as 40 club members either brought tractors or stopped by.
Several tractors were for sale, and some sold.... There were lots of neat items and bargains in the "swap meet area" too, including some "new original stock" items, in addition to used parts of all types.
Here are some preliminary photos. More will be coming as members send theirs in and get them incorporated. We're already planning to repeat it next year.
The left side of the display was largely the Simplicity lineup, with a couple of Allis' in the back row. A 75th Anniversary special had the place of honor at the center, under the awning. It belongs to Marvin Neely, Cal Neely's (Yankee Sales & Service) son, and a new club member. Marvin drove it in the 75th Anniversary parade.
The right side of the display was largely Allis-Chalmers, though some Simplicity tractors overflowed from the left. Steve Redfern's nice Allis 620 certainly got a lot of attention during the day. Steve had three very nice tractors there, all for sale.
A few nice Allis-Chalmers belonged to non-members, including the B-112 with L-10 loader, above. Another was the B-1 visible in the last row in the picture to the right. John Suprono had a whole trailer load of nice "projects" parts, and implements" for sale over across the road in the picture above...
Just a sampling of what was available in the swap meet. There were a couple trailers and a couple trucks more across the pathway. Talk about bargains -- for example, several folks "lucked into" new original rear couterweights for $10 each.
That's Jim Vieira's pair on the right, including the nice Allis 710 with a Johnny Bucket in the center and Simplicity 717 on the right. I think the old-style 700 Allis on the left belongs to Cal Neely.
That's Roger Arnoldi (yellow rain jacket) talking to Stan Somers in these pictures, discussing Roger's walker. That's Roger's 6216 in the foreground on the left. Note the Paul Van Blarigan's Mott flail mower in front of the 2012 above. There's another view of it below.
Talk about a load of "precious metal" -- look at these nice ones on Paul Van Blarigan's trailer, all packed for the trip home. Sadly, look at the blue skies appearing -- too late! By the way, the 3212V on the rear, above, was for sale with a complete set of implements. Someone missed out on a great deal! There were at least eight complete running Simplicity/ACs for sale (most of those above, for example), plus almost that many parts tractors.
The grounds cleared almost as fast as the skies. One positive though -- it left room for the kids to play. These show Roger Arnoldi packing up for home, and my son Elijah cruising around...
In addition to trying to take photos in the rain, some tractors seemed to "come and go" due to the weather, so these pictures don't show the whole lineup. For example, there was a 300-series (310 I think) that I never got a chance to look at closely, much less photograph. I have to admit that I didn't get as many good - photos as I'd planned. I got water on the lens of my camera, which messed up a lot of them. I was also distracted, I guess. I'd taken my 9-year old, Elijah, who had a ball (now he wants me to help him build/restore his own garden tractor --YES!), and I was constantly being sought out to answer questions, meet folks (many of them club members), etc. I talked so much that I came home hoarse, but with fewer photos than I'd have liked. Luckily, Stan Somers took dozens, and other members are also sending in photos so if you have some to share, please send them in...
Let's look at some of the tractors a little closer.
A closer, larger view of the right side, including my Big Ten and Cal Neely's original one to the right of it, and Steve Redfern's 620 to the left. That's Steve in the blue jacket in the background.
(Photo courtesy of Fernando Gomes.)
A closer, much larger view of the left side of the lineup, including the Mott flail mower. Talk about bargains -- the second tractor there is a Paul Van Blarigan's nice 3212V, complete with mower deck, tiller, large snowblower and tire chains -- all in good condition -- for $500. You missed it!
Shane Johnson tooling around on his 2110 that has lots of nice, custom tweaks, including a Harley muffler. It has lots of other nice touches, like new, original lights, matching front/rear counterweights, etc.
Nice photo of a Mark Schmidt's 9HP Landlord. This is a very CLEAN tractor.
(Photo courtesy of Mike Decoteau.)
Check the condition of this grader blade! Though it's an Allis blade, Paul Van Blarigan has it mounted on his 3212H. I tried to buy it, or buy the tractor, but no luck...
Closer view of the L-10 loader on a B-112. There were also a couple of nice Model W walkers there. Roger Arnoldi brought one, and Paul Van Blarigan brought another.
Unquestionably the nicest restoration job in our lineup is Vinnie Arata's Allis B-10 (orginally a Ward's Squire), the second one from the foreground above. I'll be adding the story of its restoration soon.
(Photo courtesy of Vinnie Arata)
This nice old B-1 was owned by a young man who isn't a club member -- one of two "strangers" who participated in our lineup.
These old B-series got a lot of attention -- including by the photographers....

Man, I wish I could be a kid again .
My son's four years old. He's at that age where he asks "why" a lot. It's cute though. ^_^ He's got a thing for ninjas now--especially since I found his old 'Naruto' headband. "My ninja star is my weapon," he says.
That's cool, how old's your son ?
I've been okay. for the most part. I'm just chillin' with my son right now. He fell asleep watching 'Mega Man', so I'm bored, now that he's sleepin'. Other than that, I've just been tryin' to sort out my week and am thinking of when I can have some free time to actually be more active--as far as stretching and working on gaining a few pounds for the winter is concerned.
Nah, I don't mind that name. I've been straight nothing special, how bout yourself?
What's up, A-Dub? How've you been? (Mind if I call you "A-Dub"? Y'know, the "I have two A's for initials?" nickname?) Long time, no speak. ^_^ What's new with you?
What up sprout, been a while bro. = )
Right you are, I am a practitioner of parkour and free running, most people are ignorant to these arts but you knew right off the bat, good job. ^^
Artist of movement? Like dance, or free running (or urban running, parkour, whatever it's called now)?
I'm an artist of movement. But yes I do draw as well.

> I Choose A Mortal Life
As the night rolled in upon stormy clouds, Arwen gazed outside her large window miserably. She heard the murmuring of voices below and the occasional tinkling of glass. A small feast was being held for her birthday, and yet she had no desire to dine nor to drink with company. Her heart and thoughts were astray these past days, wandering the broken and dark lands of Middle-Earth in search of Aragorn. Her heart swept across the plains, wedged itself into holes and submerged itself in water, hoping to find her lost loved one. It called out in pain and need; yet this last would not answer.
Her periwinkle dress swept across the floor as she seated herself with good grace, her sharp eyes closed in pain and bittersweet memory. She tilted her head to get a better view of the lands before her. The waters were deep and murky, particularly from this faraway view, for it was automn. Perched on the windowsill, she sighed. The leaves held magnificence within their radiant colors. It had been but a few days since the leaves had turned and the Elves were relishing the glories of Fall.
She lowered her torso down, so that she was laying on the sill. Her groping hands wished to grasp Aragorn's in mid-air. She soon fell into a sort of stupor, drunk with the smells of feasting and the crisp automn air. She fell into a visionary and shifty dream, her eyes moist with tears that wished to esape and trickle down her soft cheeks.

I wrote this when I was 24, sort of a way to measure how...
I'm just making time to write every day. I figure the more I write the better I'll become, most importantly I love to do it. I'm 28 and I've reached a point in my life where I want to slow it down a bit. II've just purchased a guitar so I'll be learning that too. I can't wait for the lessons to begin.Writing is therapy for me,
I hit about 25 good looking guy, good job. I figured I'd wait for a girl to fall in my lap and I'd settle down. Ha! boy was I wrong. Now I'm finding ways to do the things in life I love, Music, write, sports, cooking classes ha ha and salsa classes. It's alot of fun, keeps me on m toes and I'm hoping to see it reflected in my writing. Most of it's farily dark and dreary. If you read all of this...THANKS!
Have a good one.

Great for destructive or strong-willed dogs. This product has dramaticaly changed my dogs behavior while I'm away from the house. (5 year old pitbull)

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dalyn This product works well.
Wonderful product. Seems to work well to keep my dog out of areas we don't want him in. Works well if you need help to potty train them if they like to sneak to bed room to do their duty.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by SquishyK Will not work on very stubborn dogs
I have a one year old coonhound that has forced me to buy endless training products on the market. I had high hopes for this one, but my dog just does not care about the shock he gets (and it is quite a shock because I tried it myself). I have found that he also does not respect a remote training electrical collar so my advice is that if you have a dog that either does not respect electric collars, or cannot connect the dots enough to realize that a shock is a punishment for something, I would avoid this product.

I actually *like* her style... but this is just awful!
Who made that anyway? Miyake? Missoni? Etro? Wow.

Recoverable oil | 43,000 million barrels (~5.9×10 9 t) |
West Qurna (Arabic: غرب قرنة) is one of Iraq's largest oil fields, located north of Rumaila field, west of Basra. West Qurna is believed to hold 43 billion barrels (6.8×10 9 m3) of recoverable reserves, making it the second largest field in the world after Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field.[1] The field was closed to Western firms due to years-long sanctions.[2]
West Qurna Phase I[edit]
In November 2009, an Exxon Mobil - Shell joint venture won a $50 billion contract to develop the 9-billion-barrels (1.4×10 9 m3) West Qurna Phase I.[1] As per Iraqi Oil Ministry estimates, the project will require a $25 billion investment and another $25 billion in operating fees creating approximately 100,000 jobs in the underdeveloped southern region. ExxonMobil is set to increase the current production of 0.27 to 2.25 million barrels per day (43×10 3 to 358×10 3 m3/d) within seven years. The Iraqi government, in turn, will pay $1.90 per barrel produced by ExxonMobil-Shell alliance.[3]
West Qurna Phase II[edit]
In December 2009, Russia's Lukoil and Norway's Statoil were awarded the rights to develop the 12.88-billion-barrels (2.048×10 9 m3) West Qurna Phase II oil field. The Lukoil-Statoil alliance will receive $1.15 per barrel that they produce. In addition, they will work to raise output from West Qurna 2 to 120,000 barrels per day (19,000 m3/d) by 2012[4] and 1.8 million barrels per day (290,000 m3/d) over a period of 13 years.[5][6] In March 2012, Statoil sold its 18.75% stake in the field to Lukoil, giving the Russian firm a 75% stake, and leaving the Iraqi state oil company with 25%.[7]
Water-Injection Project[edit]
A new joint multi-billion dollar water-injection project will be awarded to operator ExxonMobil. The project includes construction of a plant which will help 6 major oil-field development projects by producing 10–12 million barrels (1,600,000–1,900,000 m3) of water per day. The alliance will include Shell, Eni SpA, Lukoil, CNPC and Petronas.[8]

The Great Bedroom Switch of '13, step one
I moved Elliot into the basement with Oliver today. He's been so lonely by himself upstairs, and hasn't been sleeping well (so most nights he ends up in bed with us, which means none of us are getting any sleep). I think it was time for him to have a roommate. But does this mean I can't call him my baby anymore?!

is there ratios for weight:sail area
i am 62kgs/136lds what sail area would i need
7th April 2008, 07:44 AM
Yes, there is a relationship between weight and sail size. However, it is also affected by wind speed. (Stronger wind = smaller sail.) I made a spreadsheet that will calculate the correct sail size for your weight and the wind speed. Check it out:
It says that a beginner your weight should start out with a sail around 4.0 meters squared in winds less than 10 knots, or a smaller sail in winds greater than 10 knots.
It can also help you figure out what size board you need.
7th April 2008, 09:02 AM
very handy spreadsheet James. A bit of room for error but still a good general guide for weight and sail size.
19th April 2008, 03:44 AM
thank you was a great help
20th April 2008, 07:45 PM
Unable to load spreadsheet.
But would like to add (from my experience and not inconsierable weight (103kg) that higher winds reduce difference in sail size required.(more than you would expect)
For example when 80k mates are on 6 metres I`ll be on 6.5 (or perhaps 7) but by time it gets to 4 metre weather for them I can also get going on same size.
Other thing I`ve picked up is that heavier sailor can push sails above point where they are stable.Sounds obvious but can make sail choice a real problem for heavies.For example the NP Expression is damned good sail and has quite a good range but (IMO) is a poor choice for heavies because its top end is poor.(Even though it has good bottom end power)
Heavier sailors actually need sails with excellent top end control (for size)
Dont think lighter sailors can load sails up enough (relatively) to point where they "break up".They would just feel overpowered;which is different to sail "breaking up".Expression might have a fantastic range for 70k rider but not for a 100.On other hand the Tush Storm has great range for both.(But doesn`t have bottom end of Exp)

A stomach virus prevented Ball State point guard Zavier Turner from digesting any food Thursday and into Friday morning. But with a winnable game scheduled that night against Oakland City, Turner underwent a morning IV treatment.
By 3 p.m., Turner finally managed to eat some Jell-O and a bowl of soup. Ball State coach James Whitford deemed the only true point guard on his roster as a game-time decision, but four hours later, Turner stepped on the Worthen Arena court, with a bandage on his left forearm from the IV treatment, for tipoff.

Consumer Debt, Credit Balancing Out in 2013
Sign up for our FREE Monthly Email Newsletter
Consumer debt is falling in most major U.S. metropolitan areas, according to new data from Equifax's National Consumer Credit Trends Report. While the sharp declines experienced by some markets in 2012 have leveled off, overall consumer debt fell to $10.92 trillion in the first quarter of this year, down from $11.02 trillion in the first quarter of 2012.
"It is encouraging to see credit demand and supply continuing to come into balance," says Trey Loughran, president of Equifax Personal Solutions. "Lack of access to credit impedes growth, and access to credit keeps the wheels of the economy moving."
Mortgage debt write-offs and consumer efforts to pay down mortgage obligations have contributed to the decline in total consumer debt. In the past year, total mortgage and home equity debt obligations dropped 3.1 percent to $8.4 trillion
But other forms of consumer debt increased in the same time period. Total non-mortgage debt owed by consumers jumped 7.1 percent to $2.5 trillion.
Consumers living in the Las Vegas, Miami and Phoenix areas experienced the biggest declines in total debt outstanding over the past year, with consumer debt falling by 5.9 percent, 5.5 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively.
In many others cities, consumers saw modest decreases in consumer debt, which shows that they have adopted a more disciplined approach to credit.
"We are seeing changes in consumer behavior," Loughran says. "People are paying down their debt faster and taking their access to credit more seriously. Many consumers got into trouble with credit before the recession, spent too much and are now approaching spending with greater caution."
But consumers living in the Dallas, Houston, St. Louis and Pittsburgh areas saw their consumer debt creep up from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013, and Houston saw total mortgage debt also increase over the same timeframe. Houston was the only metro among the four to see mortgage debt edge upward.
These four metro areas have diversified economies that have been benefiting from strong growth and relatively low unemployment, which has supported consumer willingness to take on additional debt.
Below is a list of total consumer debt in the top 25 metropolitan statistical areas:

Gerald Henderson
Ht/Wt: 6-5 / 215 lbsPosition: SG
Team: Duke
Class: Junior
2009 Draft Profile - Gerald Henderson
Gerald Henderson Jr., son of former pro Gerald Henderson is widely considered one of the best athletes and defensive guards available in the draft. A disciple of Mike Krzyzewskis legendary Duke Defense, he uses top notch technique and athleticism to epitomize what being a two-way player is all about.Henderson relies on a combo of basketball IQ, athleticism, size, length, and strength to be the defensive playmaker that makes the Duke defense go. He has the ability to guard all three perimeter positions and is quite comfortable taking on the opponents best scorer and shutting him down.
What makes it hard to score on him is his ability to anticipate the move, and stay in his players face, basically forcing him to give the ball up. He is also exceptional in a help role, and makes good solid choices on when to offer a hand. On the help end of defense his stellar lateral quickness allows him to jump in front of penetrators, and disrupt the flow of the ball, sometimes drawing charges, other times just creating havoc. No one can question his toughness, as he played the last two months of 2008 with a torn ligament in his wrist.
Offensively, he does a great job creating separation, even though hes not a top threat from the outside, and has never played with a low post presence. Hes been hot and cold from the three point line, and one would surmise that the extra couple of feet to the pro three is going to hurt him. He covers that by having a tremendous mid range game, but most of his talent comes from his dynamic right hand. Force him left and hes a different player, as Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats did to oust Henderson and Duke in the NCAA tournament.
Another strong part of his offensive repertoire is as a cutter, where when he receives the ball he can get to the rack and convert on hardcore slams and other difficult shots that have a high degree of difficulty. He seems very comfortable hanging in the air and absorbing contact, without being knocked off the ball, which is very important. Its a testament to his overall strength and athletic prowess.
More then just ability, Gerald Henderson plays the game with a passion that all coachs love, being that his dad was a pro; he has that air of professionalism and comes to play every night. His ability to maintain a high level of energy, while remaining focused and in-tune is a byproduct of growing up around the game.
His physical attributes are good but not great. Hes a little on the short side, will probably measure around 63, but carries a very strong 215 pounds with a long wingspan that helps him out immensely. His jumping is explosive and electric, and he gets up quick, so he can block shots on much bigger players that underestimate his ability. His first step is at the elite level and hes a quick jumper, which helps him snare rebounds in transition and in the half court.
He finished his junior season with pretty good stats, while playing in a very team oriented offense. He averaged 16.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and those numbers could have been higher if he wanted to dominate the ball.
The areas he needs to improve on are number one, ball handling. While he handles the ball well, he played a lot of small forward for Duke and the ball handling responsibility usually fell on other players. To fully utilize his outstanding athletic attributes, he needs to spend a lot of time going over basic dribbling drills. If he does, this could vault him to another level, especially if he could play the point guard position, although I dont really see that.
He also needs a reliable outside shot, and in time a three point shot. His first step is so good, that if he has to be guarded 25 feet from the hoop hes going to blow by people. That coupled with his leaping ability could make him a special player.
More proof of his athleticism would be winning the 2006 McDonalds All-American game Slam Dunk contest, and in high school, he was a two-time league champion in the high jump and triple jump and also lettered and made all-conference honors in golf as a freshman.
Gerald was also a key contributor off the court for Duke, getting involved in their award-winning Verizon Read with the Blue Devils, a community outreach reading program in the Durham school district. He also was a participant with the Duke Childrens Hospital and Ronald McDonald House.
