At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help determine your risk of developing heart disease and to monitor lipid-lowering lifestyle changes and drug therapies; to accurately determine your low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level when you are not fasting
When to Get Tested?
As a follow-up to a lipid profile if your triglycerides are significantly elevated; at regular intervals to monitor efforts to lower LDL levels
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None; however, your health practitioner may request that you fast.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The direct low-density lipoprotein cholesterol test (direct LDL-C) measures the amount of LDL cholesterol, sometimes called "bad" cholesterol, in the blood. Elevated levels of LDL-C are associated with an increased risk of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heart disease. Usually, the amount of LDL-C is calculated using the measured values (cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglycerides) from a standard lipid profile. In most cases, this is a good estimate of the LDL-C, but it becomes less accurate with increasing triglyceride levels. Direct measurement of LDL-C is less affected by triglycerides and can be used when triglycerides are high (above 400 mg/dl).
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed; however, a health practitioner may request fasting.

Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

The Schwalbe Big Apple kickstarted the Baloonbike trend back in 2001 and the 29" version of the Big Apple delivers the same exceptional ride quality of the original. This high volume tire acts as a form of built-in suspension, absorbing over 36% of vibrations at the handlebar. The Raceguard casing features a double layer of nylon fabric for plenty of protection without adding too much weight. Well suited for commuting duties, fire roads, or those long distance touring hauls, the Big Apple is truly one-of-a-kind.

Comments about Schwalbe Big Apple 29" Tire:
I bought these for my Surly Karate Monkey I wanted to set up for bike paths and gravel roads and bashing around the city without having to worry about pot holes and curbs. They are really smooth when rolling, provided you keep the pressure low. It's all in the set up. They are fantastic on the bike path or even on the road. They're pretty fast on the flats as long as you keep the hammer down, but they are heavy and any incline will have you slowing way down. OK if you're cruising or just pedaling for a workout. I got 'em to get off the road and away from the roadie pack. I ilke em for that, but I'm shopping for something lighter as they just sap the snap out of my bike. No flats so far either.

Comments about Schwalbe Big Apple 29" Tire:
I bought these for a race-ready 2009 Gary Fisher Cobia 29er with the intent of using them for my urban wheelset. They are so BIG and simply look Awesome. It's like riding a monster truck. They are designed as a low pressure tire for the impact absorbing effect but I am running mine a little hard for the speed. Even though they are a 1/4 in. wider than my aggressive treaders I have gained about 7 min. on my daily 6.6 mile commute. I am a CLYDE at 260 and wondered if the low pressure aspect would be a problem but none what so ever. These tires rock.

Hi To the group just getting log in as I just got infomed about the Ham operators feature in the news letter. Is there a daily or weekly Net going on at this time, If so what's the frequency and times, CW or SSB? 73 Larry
Hi Larry.
There are no national level daily or weekly nets. There is generally a monthly net. The date, time, and frequency of that net are posted here in the forums ahead of time. The net is HF SSB and then there is also a IRLP net.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL
Ravenna, MI Post 297
We will soon post a monthly net schedule for both the HF net and the IRLP net on the website www.legion.org/hamradio. You can quickly see when, where, and how to connect on (likely) about 1 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month. As we get rolling and interest grows, we will start asking for more volunteer assistant Net controllers to help us. (Hats off to Bill, KI0CW, for already giving us a hand over the last few months.)
Saturday, October 13: Look for the TALARC HF Net to begin at 1:00 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC) on 20M near 14.310 MHz and hosted by Craig, W3CRR. The TALARC IRLP Net, for those of you with UHF/VHF and access to a local IRLP repeater, will begin one hour later at 2:00 p.m. EDT (1800 UTC) on the IRLP Crossroads Reflector 9200 on channel 9205. I will host that and I hope to hear from you then.
Today I tuned the radio up to check-in to the net and after five minutes of not being able to find the net I remembered that we 1800Z is not 1PM ET but 12 PM ET. I was a hour off...UGH! I hope the net went well.
Best regards,
Howdy everyone.
Again, I could not hear any of the NCSs for today's net. I do not know why as I have worked stations in Indiana and Maryland before without difficulty. South Dakota is hit and miss. Is it possible to get a NCS in Texas? Texas is always booming into Michigan. I could hear W5VXI extremely well today. Other stations were usually weak and not readable. Thank you thought for doing the net. I know eventually I will be able to here one of the NCSs.
Best regards,

Do you know any Shih Tzus or Yorkies? How about a dog named Bella or Lucky? Chances are good that you do if you live in NYC. New York public radio station WNYC has created a really cool map detailing the most popular dog breeds and names in the Big Apple, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Examining dog licensing records for almost 100,000 dogs, WNYC found the most common pooch on the street is a mixed-breed named either Max or Bella.
While the map is super cool for finding the most common dogs in each NYC neighborhood, the data it uses—provided by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which runs the dog licensing program—also reveals a sad fact: Only one in five dogs in NYC is licensed.
So, what's the big deal? Well, not only is it illegal to have an unlicensed dog in the city, but licensing helps reunite lost dogs with their pet parents and assists with medical follow-ups for individuals potentially exposed to infected dogs. Plus, the proceeds from registration fees help support New York City's Animal Care & Control (AC&C).
"If the city encouraged and enforced dog licensing, we would be able to raise more revenue for animals in need," says Michelle Villagomez, the ASPCA's NYC Legislative Director.
According to the 2009-2010 American Pet Product Manufacturers Survey, if 50% of NYC dogs were licensed, the City could raise approximately $3.7 million to help animals.
"A well-funded animal population control program would likely reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized and reduce potential threats to public health and safety," says Villagomez.
The license fee is $8.50 for an altered dog and $34 for an unaltered dog. The surcharge of $25.50 for unaltered dogs goes to the City Animal Population Control Fund to help AC&C implement a population control program.
If you're a New Yorker with an unlicensed dog, what are you waiting for? License that pup to help save lives!

World poverty is a problem that is seemingly impossible for us to solve. But why is it such a terrible problem to begin with? Some people might not be able to relate very well to the problem because they have always been blessed with a good life with enough to sustain them (or more), so when they hear about the problem of poverty they find it hard to empathize.
So maybe this post about the top 5 facts on world poverty will help enlighten a few people and help them to gain a bit more empathy. Here are a few things about the world's problem on poverty.

There is so much news from Spain this month that we have cut out everything else from this Bulletin. Please when you have read it hand it on to your friends.
News of the Autochir which was sent out only a few weeks ago.
"Just before the Teruel attack the autochir was ordered to its base at Ucles. Driven by Jim Smyth and Chas. Innosent it set out with Dr. Fuhrman and Nurse Cresswell. On Christmas Day Dr. Fuhrman was in Teruel. The Spanish Medical Service started a hospital at once in Teruel. Our autochir worked in connection with a hospital train. A surgical unit went from the train,and our autochir was able to release them by treating cases before they were put onto the train. Dr. Fuhrman himself saw four British ambulances in use outside Teruel, and many cases were actually brought to the autochir in these ambulances.
Of the cases that we treated, there were more prisoners than our own wounded. These, Dr. Fuhrman assured us, were all treated exactly the same as our own, each wounded man being taken in turn according to the seriousness of his injuries. The slogan: EQUAL WITH US, was really carried out. The next type of case that we had to treat was the women and children who were shot by the fascists as they fled to us from the city. One little lad of 11 ran out when he saw our tanks approaching. He cried out, 'Look! Look! and the fascists shot him in the back. We picked him up and he was brought to our autochir.
After we had operated our patients were taken to Valencia. We visited them there and once again we found that the prisoners were placed in equally clean and pleasant wards as our own soldiers."
Here is an account of one of our nurses, 'English Penny', from Winifred Bates.
' "I want to see Comrade Penny", I explained to the guard at the door. He showed me into the surgery. Warmth, light and spotless cleanliness.
"But how is it that you are here all alone without other English comrades?" I asked her.
"I came back from leave in England in September", she replied "intending to go to a large hospital where there are already a few English working, and where I know they are very short of trained nurses. When I reported at the base I was told that there was an outbreak of scarlet fever at a barracks in a small town. 'You are a trained fever-nurse, Penny' they said, 'so you must go there'. So I went. I arrived at this little village at 3 in the morning, and found that some hundreds of men were quartered there. I found not only scarlet fever, but measles and typhoid and the doctor himself was down with scarlet fever. The next morning I set to work and have been at the job ever since".
The next day Penny took me all over the hospital, the soldiers' Cultural Club and the baths. The hospital itself is a very pleasant clean small house able to support about twenty beds for the sick besides the personnel. In reply to my question about the staff she said "My staff consists of a Spanish nurse and an Italian nurse and one male nurse. These have had considerable experience and we work very happily together, for of course they regard me as the doctor, there being no other doctor here. But I have no British trained nurse to assist me. That is why I am consulted on every

Dr. Harris suggests morality relates the well-being of conscious creatures.
A recent review* reports the following:
"The womb provides the first opportunity for touchy-feely social bonding, according to new research….Scientists tracked the motion of five pairs of twin fetuses using ultrasonography, an imaging technique that visualizes internal body structures. By the 14th week of gestation, the fetuses began reaching toward their partners, and just 4 weeks later, they spent more time touching their neighbors than themselves or the walls of the uterus. In all, almost 30% of their movements were directed toward their prenatal companions. These movements, such as stroking the head or back, last longer and are more accurate than self-directed movements, such as touching their own eyes or mouths. The findings suggest that twin fetuses are aware of their counterparts in the womb and prefer to interact with them."
*See http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/10/scienceshot-social-life-starts-in.html
Another study** suggests:
"…newborns just a few days old may already be trying to imitate the prevailing intonation patterns of the language they heard while still in the womb." (emphasis mine)
** See "Babies May Pick Up Language Cues In Womb", by Nell Greenfieldboyce, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120131516)
As an exercise in applying Dr. Harris' standard, let's assume these findings are correct, i.e. that a twin fetus is aware of its neighbor and interacts with it, and at some point, a fetus processes audible information originating outside the womb.
How should these findings influence our understanding of personhood, the legal status which confers rights that must be protected, or at least represented, in the weighing of competing interests under the law? That is, if a fetus is aware of its neighbor, or if it is learning sounds, is it "conscious" and therefore eligible for moral standing? If so, how should the rights of a fetus be weighed against the rights of the mother, or against the rights of patients to the benefits of medical research involving fetal tissue harvested from the mother?

JON CARDINELLI says that by adopting an overly defensive mindset the Stormers run the risk of becoming predictable and thus increasingly beatable in Saturday's semi-final at Newlands.
On Wednesday, Allister Coetzee tried to justify Conrad Jantjes's selection at fullback. The Stormers' coach stated that Jantjes was a good defender and a sound tactical kicker. He said that in a territorial battle at a rain-ravaged Newlands, Jantjes could have an important role to play.
On the basis of Jantjes's form, I'd argue that Coetzee's faith in the player as a fine positional fullback and great line-kicker is misplaced. I'd also argue that the alternative, Gio Aplon, is just as capable of playing a tactical kicking game, and that starting Aplon at fullback will give the Stormers more attacking, counter-attacking and kicking options.
But the Stormers seem determined to stick to an overly defensive approach. They seem determined to limit their options and favour reactionary tactics. Some will call it conservative, safe and necessary given the expected conditions and pressure of a semi-final. I call it putting all your eggs into one basket.
While the Stormers will need to be sharp on defence, they will also need to take whatever scoring opportunities come their way. Defence will be important, but they can't stonewall the Crusaders for 80 minutes. There needs to be some variation, or at least the prospect of an attack.
Jantjes has struggled to impose himself on attack since returning from a serious leg injury last year. The opposition don't recognise him as a threat, and are content to kick on him and wait for the error or the predictable kick return.
It's a tactic that worked for the Bulls in their victory at Newlands three weeks ago. They kicked relentlessly on Jantjes and Bryan Habana, and when the Stormers' pair didn't lose the ball, they inevitably turned it over when they attempted to counter-attack.
Most teams will be wary about kicking on Aplon. While he has done well on the wing for both the Stormers and South Africa, he is better utilised at fullback. On attack, he can come into the backline on both sides of the field. On the counter-attack, he can turn a poor kick into a try at the other end. And in a territorial exchange, Aplon's underrated left boot can earn the Stormers valuable metres.
There's nothing special about Janjtes on attack and nothing imposing about his kicking game either. The Stormers' decision to play him at 15 will be cheered by the Crusaders, as this will allow the visitors to employ their own pressure tactics.
The Crusaders will attempt to pressure the Stormers' back three with a good kick chase or alternatively wait for Jantjes to kick the ball back. Since the Cantabrians have an imposing defensive system of their own and a superior halfback combination that boast all the necessary attacking skills as well match-winning tactical-kicking accuracy, they have every right to expect that this approach will yield the desired results.
Coetzee argues that if the Stormers' overly defensive approach doesn't work, there is still the fall-back option of switching to all-out attack in the second half. In that event, Deon Fourie and Schalk Brits will come off the bench, and Aplon will move to fullback.
But what Coetzee fails to remember is that the Crusaders are particularly good at punishing desperate teams. They crept ahead of the Sharks through the goal-kicking of Dan Carter, and once they had established an eight-point lead, the Sharks were forced to take chances. Kieran Read intercepted a wild pass from Pat Lambie, and from there the Crusaders continued to feed off mistakes caused by the visitors' increasing desperation.
The Stormers would have been better served to start Aplon at fullback against the Crusaders. They will still be favourites, but starting Jantjes at fullback means the pack and the halfbacks will have to work doubly hard to ensure his deficiencies are not exposed to a game-costing degree.

Through presentations, the meeting explored:
· Engaging Tourism Companies in Marine Conservation: International Finance Corporation (IFC) Perspective;
· Ecotourism as a Means of Promoting Sustainable Conservation and Land Management: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Perspective;
· Medium-Scale Private Sector Engagement in Conservation from the East African Coast; and
· Marine Conservation as a Business: The Arabuko - Watamu Experiences.
The objectives of the meeting were to:
· Discuss how to engage the private sector in conservation in coastal and marine areas;
· Learn about potential problems; and
· Explore issues of scale and current market trends in tourism development.
Please see the following meeting notes, presentations and background materials.

By 10:45 a.m. Friday, time was running out.
Temperatures had risen, chunks of snow were separating and falling from tree branches and power lines, and kids were struggling to get a few sled rides in before all the hills turned to mush. A group of girls from Turrentine Middle School scoped out the hills Elon University's intramural fields had to offer.
"We usually go sledding here every year," said Kenzie Vance, 14.
"We've tried, like, every hill over here," said Katherine Cox, 14.
"It's kind of iffy because (of) all the mud," added Cooper Norris, 13.
Janet Myers, an English professor at Elon University, kept redirecting her three children to the hills with the most snow in a race against the sun's warmth.
"It's just like a slush pit," Myers said, adding she may take her family on a mini-vacation to Boone over the weekend, so her children can go tubing in plenty of snow.
However, it was considerably less balmy Thursday night, and police and Duke Energy were busy responding to wrecks and power outages following the snowfall.
Thursday's precipitation switched from rain to snow at 7:41 p.m., said Brandon Vincent, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. "After that, it snowed consistently … until 12:23 a.m. (Friday)," he said.
The average snowfall in Alamance County was between 2 and 3 inches, with the northern part of the county receiving 2 to 4 inches and the southern parts accumulating only 1 to 2 inches.
Between 8 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Friday,
Around midnight Friday, 3,400 people in Alamance County were without power, and 10,500 in Guilford County were experiencing outages, said Duke Energy spokesman Jason Walls. An hour later, he said, Alamance County's number had dropped to fewer than 1,000 homes.
"We expect to have everybody back on by later today," Walls said Friday afternoon.
"I expected it to be worse … as much traffic as was out last night," Verdeck said. "Actually, last night the driving wasn't bad, so long as you paid attention."
He said the slush on streets Thursday night could have potentially pulled vehicles off the road or into other cars, but the driving conditions were more dangerous early Friday morning. Verdeck said the frozen precipitation on the roadways, especially in shaded areas, made streets slick.
Since the temperature was expected to drop again Friday night, Verdeck said, "There'll be some spotty ice (Saturday), too."
The NWS issued a Winter Weather Advisory in effect in Burlington, from midnight Saturday through 9 a.m., warning of possible black ice.
Over the weekend, Vincent said, "It's going to melt pretty quickly over the next day or two." Saturday's high temperatures will be near 50 degrees, and Sunday will see temperatures of mid- to upper-50's, he said.
However, "We're going to have an abrupt change next week," said Vincent. "We'll basically have a dry, arctic cold front coming through on Monday," coming down from Canada, he said.
Burlington can expect well below-normal temperatures the beginning of next week, with daytime highs not even reaching freezing, and temperatures in the teens at night.

Recent Gordes Reviews
A Stunning location just outside of Gordes
What a fantastic property! There were 15 of us for 2 weeks in this lovely estate and everyone enjoyed every minute. The description was accurate regarding all the amenities and even better. It is very well stocked with kitchen items and we were able to use the vast selection of dishes and glasses provided. It is a nice blend of casual with elegant so we felt at home. The living room and dining room in the main house were perfect for inside dining and evening viewing on the Apple TV of all the pictures we took during the day. We loved the outside tables for our evening meals when nice outside and the views!!! The pool was used and enjoyed on our lazy days and beach towels were provided. The pool house with the bath was a nice luxury. Everything was clean and each morning the gal would come and clean every bath,the kitchen and also wash all the floors. Besides she cleaned up outside. What an extra bonus for all of us. When we had a problem with the internet connection, the manager, Florence was there to reset it in a jiffy. I highly recommend this property to anyone that is looking for a great spot in Provence. It is just half way between Avignon and Aix and close to all the small hill towns. Two of our guys even rode their rented bikes up to Mt Ventoux, just like the Tour d'France! What a thrill for them. I suggest you rent this for at least 2 weeks so you can enjoy all that the house and Provence have to offer!
Overall, wonderful, totally agree with the other 5 star reviews below. Our family of 12, 5 adults and 7 kids( ages 9-18 years)stayed here for one week. The house was perfect and exceeded our expectations. It was clean, quiet, spacious, tastefully decorated, with lovely furniture and paintings throughout. The pictures really don't capture the beauty of the home and gardens. The master suite is huge but all the other bedrooms are plenty big with en-suite bathrooms. The air-conditioning was a must for us and the washer and dryer was also a plus. The gardens are gorgeous with multiple outside seating areas, the pool is great, table tennis in the yard and 2 tennis courts across the street.....what more do you need! The location was exactly what we were looking for.....the small town of Cabrieres d'Avignon is 15 minutes walk away. It has a wonderful butcher( great meats), baker( for the fresh daily baguettes and croissants), and small grocer that seems to carry everything you might need. We had dinner in town on 2 occasions and it was great to be able to stroll home on the quiet roads under the stars. We put the outdoor grill to good use also. There are several towns( Gordes ,Roussillon, Isle Sur La Sorgue) within 10-20 minutes drive that are lovely and make time to hit one on market day. Patrick, the owner was easy to work with; he answered all emails promptly with helpful suggestions for our trip. Remy and Caroline, the care takers, are fabulous also and they were a great local resource. They prepared a delicious meal for us on our first night. Overall, fantastic.......one week was too short. We look forward to returning in the future!

Anxiety issues aside, he's also a below-average shooter.
But I agree, his skill set is so interesting. He screams Anthony Mason to me.
Davis, Gordon and. . . who???
By Jeff Martin
Attachment 3903
After months of enduring the agonizing contradiction of cheering for the home team to lose in hopes of landing the top overall pick, my dreams, and the dreams of many other Hornets fans were realized when the Charlotte Bobcats card was revealed as having the No. 2 pick during the NBA's Draft Lottery show. The opening of the final envelope was then only a formality as it was known the New Orleans Hornets won the lottery and secured the right to draft Kentucky's Anthony Davis, a player most consider as a "franchise changer" and major building block toward contending for a championship. But equally as important as getting the No. 1 pick is to the Hornets future, is what they will do with the No. 10 pick received from the Clippers in the Chris Paul deal.
Damian Lillard, Perry Jones III and Kendall Marshall are among the names that frequently come up when mentioning who the Hornets should select with that 10th pick, and rightfully so. Lillard is a dynamic scorer at the point guard position, who was second in the nation in PER (Player efficiency rating) behind only Anthony Davis. Marshall is bigger at 6'4, a better passer, and was called by some close to UNC Basketball as the greatest leader to come through the storied program in 25 years, while Jones III was once considered a lock for the top 3 and at if he pans out, could be a steal at 10. But the one name that has been recently brought up and threw me for a loop was Iowa State's Royce White, who some feel could complete a future Hornets Big Three.
The "Big Three" model, is one that has permeated throughout the NBA, and has been proven to be successful throughout the years. From the Showtime Lakers' Magic, Worthy, and Kareem to the mid-90's Bulls group of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. And even more recently with the Spurs' Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili's 4 championships and the Celtics' Pierce, Allen and Garnett's 2008 triumph, the model of having 3 star players has usually led to consistent winning. With Anthony Davis now in the fold, and restricted free agent SG Eric Gordon likely to be resigned, the Hornets have a realistic chance of putting together a similar design to compete for championships for years to come.
But Royce White couldn't be that guy could he??? The Times Picayunes Jeff Duncan thinks so and he took to twitter to aggressively sing the praises of White, even claiming that "If the Hornets pass on White, they'll regret it". http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss...oyce_whit.html
"Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis and Royce White could be #Nola's version of The Big Three. #FleurDeThree" is an example of one of Duncan's Pro-White tweets.
My question is, If the sole purpose was to turn the No. 10 Pick into the 3rd member of a Big Three, which would be the best route? After doing my research on White, he surprisingly does looks the part of a potential all-star that could very well turn out to be that third piece. His court vision and passing ability at the forward position is second to none in this draft class and a "point forward" could prove to be very valuable to a Monty Williams team that will most certainly look to play a half-court style of basketball, built on ball movement. There has been much made about his anxiety disorder and off-court problems, but in listening to interviews by White and his head coach at Iowa State, former NBA player Fred Hoiberg, it seems these issues are blown out of proportion and will be a non-factor throughout his NBA career.
With that being said, I'm still in favor of moving the pick in a package to get a proven veteran, such as Atlanta's Josh Smith or Boston's Rajon Rondo, but with these scenarios being unlikely, the selection of White with 10th pick could very well prove to be the elusive third star this team is looking for.
Anxiety issues aside, he's also a below-average shooter.
But I agree, his skill set is so interesting. He screams Anthony Mason to me.
The question is how many PFs do we need? We have Smith, Ayon, Davis, and I hear Dell is interested in bringing back Landry so what are we going to to with 5 potential PFs? Even if we remove Landry we still have 4 under contract if we draft this kid. We have plenty needs on this team. We dont know Kaman's situation and Mek isnt the long term answer. Aminu and Ariza are both hit or miss. And we definitely need to upgrade our PGs. Stacking up on tweeners at PF just doesnt make much sense when we have 3 other areas to address.
We need offense and Royce White while having skills isn't that great offensively. No reason to overrate him.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I don't understand why people always look at position. He's not a traditional 4 or 3. He's a point forward. He seems like a Diaw Mason mix to me. I'd still pass on him...
I have a good friend that's a huge Texas fan (and watches alot of Big 12 ball), and he told me that Royce White was the sleeper in the draft. Dude reminds me alot of Blake griffin... if he develop an outside game he'd be hard to guard.
I agree, it would seem like a glut at the 4 position, but like BeeBall Rasons said, White isn't a traditional 3 or 4. He's being looked at as a poor man's (probably a very poor man) LeBron James. Being 6'8, with above average ball handling, court vision, and strength. He could be a mismatch for a 3 with his strength down low, or could drive to the basket and look to kick out or score against 4's. With Davis probably playing some 5 at times and Landry's return questionable, I believe we could have room on our roster for a guy like this. Especially in the first stages of a rebuild like the HOrnets are.
Man, I can't believe this article is already here. I thought I was way ahead of the curve on Royce.
Some guys are just players and defy position. This guy passes better than most point guards and has handles. He could play the point forward ala Lebron or Hedo. You can post him up and he has some Duncan-eqsue qualities. You can play small ball with him at the 4 and AD at the five and he can still guard the bigs.
The thing is, the skills this guy has you can't teach. You are either born with it or not. I'm not worried about the shooting. That will come. But he helps his team in so many ways. That's why guys like Jerry West are drooling over him and Gottlieb has him in his top five above MkG even.
Watch ford's mock draft. He will probably be in the top ten within the next couple of weeks. Warriors are looking at him at 7.
chances are we find the third piece of this so-called big three via free agency(and not necessarily this yr)
I like Royce but he just seems very ball dominate to me, like a very poor mans Lebron. If he can develop a shot he could become a fringe all-star.
I hate Duncan, just had to throw that in there.
Reminds me of Lamar Odom, but I havn't watched much of him.
I love White. One of the most interesting prospect I've seen in years. I don't mind him or anyone else at all as long as they pan out. I don't really care who it is really. The only question I have is... is he still that same prospect if he doesn't have the ball in his hands 50% of the time? Because in the NBA, it's unrealistic to believe that he would do anywhere near that much handling... Especially on a team who will eventually run their offense through Anthony Davis and Gordon.
Will he be utilized as the same player he's being utilized in college? I can see it as a 6th man with the second unit. I don't see it so much with the 1st unit. How can you maximize his skillset? How does he fit? And what will his role be?
White will be a 4 because he can't guard 3's, can't shoot, and can't take SFs off the dribble. His game involves taking bigger guys off the dribble and going to the basket. He's no that athletic and won't finish well in the NBA and he turns the ball over. I didn't get to his defense yet. He won't improve the team's offense compared to guys like Sully, Lillard, Ross, Lamb, or even a Terrence Jones who can do the little things on offense to help like passing, driving to the basket, and ball-handling.
He will be 6th man who plays the 3 & 4!
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
Not sure I get all the love for White at 10. If we were to trade down, maybe we should consider him at some point, but 10 seems too high.
10 is way too high for this guy.
Jeff Duncan advocating a player in an NBA draft is akin to Fletcher Mackel. He probably just saw the name on the 'net somewhere.
Not sure about him. The one time I saw him play I was paying more attention or Kentucky...or am I thinking of Moe Harkless?
Either way. If we take him, I trust Monty and Dell. They'll take a player whose got what it takes. Just a lil' saddened I won't get to watch the Combine next week.
Duncan is an idiot. People know that. #10 is waaaaaay to high of a pick to use on White. Don't listen to this buffoon.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
It was fun and interesting to watch the two compete. AD is amazing and was the best player on the court of course. He blocked Royce's shot several times, but I don't think he guarded him on that end very often. He was help defending against everybody. Royce had like half of Iowa's points and was the only reason they were in it at all. He was everywhere - inside rebounding sometimes and posting up or out on the perimeter creating plays too. He has a lot of turnovers though. It was a tie game with about 10 minutes to go but then Kentucky blew them out.
Fun to watch it again. I knew I had watched the game live but didn't remember it until I saw the peculiar interview with Ashley Judd. Then I knew instantly I had seen the game.

Rather we take Terrence Jones if we are going for a 3/4 hybrid
Last edited by thefuture; 06-03-2012 at 05:02 AM.
I like Terrence Jones as well. He does just about everything well except shoot, but he's gonna be a PF anyway in this league.

SNOW HILL — Looking towards the near future, Greene County officials and residents have revealed their expectations for a new county manager.
The current manager, Don Davenport, will be retiring Dec. 31.
Commissioner Denny Garner said he's hoping for someone active in the community and aggressive.
"Personally, I'd like to see somebody come in and hit the ground running," he said.
His wish list includes someone with a sound financial background, experience in budget preparation and maintenance, someone who is a good leader and decision-maker and has knowledge of grant writing and economic development.
"We have got to do something to increase the tax base" Garner said, "and the only way we can do that is through economic development."
The position of county manager is on the N.C. Association of County Commissioners' website listing a salary range of $65,000-$80,000. It closes June 5.
"I would love to have someone that has some experience," Commissioner Bennie Heath said. "I would like to have someone that has strengths in accounting and finance."
Heath said he would like to get the position filled within three months. The board will meet Thursday afternoon at a joint meeting with the Board of Education and will be discussing their options for hiring an interim manager.
Heath said there have been "several inquiries," along with "a couple of resumes," both from within and outside the county. He said the board would be interested in a retired manager of a local government as an interim, but they are open to any responses.
"We collectively came up with that number," he said about the salary range, adding it is on the low end compared to other counties. The Association lists three other county manager positions. Northampton and Harnett counties list "negotiable" under salary, while Orange County lists its starting range at $89,403.
"I think someone who's really good in accounting and finances would be to our advantage to us," he said.
Commissioner Jack Edmundson said the person needs to be experienced in administrative management, such as an assistant manager from another county.
"As small as Greene County is," he said, "I don't think we're going to get someone in with a lot of experience. I'd like to see a young one come in here that's had a little bit of experience and can take it and run with it."
Edmundson said he isn't interested in how many civic clubs the candidate belongs to, but the manager needs to be outgoing.
"He needs to be able to talk, not only with his staff," he said, "but he needs to be able to talk to the citizens of the county, also."
He said he believes the county can get an interim manager by early January, and the advertised range is a good starting point for the position.
"I just hope he can wisely distribute (the revenue) among the departments in the county," Edmondson said. "We need to, kind of, treat all our personnel in the county equally, and he's going to have his job cut out right there for him."
A number of residents are looking for similar attributes in whoever is hired to fill Davenport's seat.
Kim Stokes of Scuffleton hopes the manager will be able to articulate well to the citizens of the county.
"I'm anxious to see them get somebody in there that can stay on top of the county's business and manage the monies," she said.
Her husband, Chuck Stokes, said cuts to the budget need to be made.
"I think there needs to be a general audit of the entire county budget," he said. "… If we continue to move in the direction we're going, the county won't be able to sustain itself on the backs of the property owners."
Snow Hill resident Carolyn Newcomb wants the new manager to look well into the future and see the "big picture."
"I want someone that has a vision for our county — a long-range vision," she said. "Where do they see us in five years? What do we need to do to get from point A to point B?"
Newcomb said she hopes the manager will be proactive, have a stable background and be able to show accountability, transparency and a willingness to listen to and answer questions.
"I hoping our commissioners or whoever the selection committee is," she said, "will take the time to go visit the county where this person has worked and talk to the citizens and see what was accomplished and see how it worked out in these counties."
Newcomb also hopes the county salaries will be scrutinized in-house, and not by a consulting firm.
"I want a complete in-depth salary study across the board of every county employee," she said,
Then Newcomb hopes the commissioners will work with the county manager to find a solution to get equitable salaries in line across the board. She said they need to look at spending first, then revenue.
"There needs to be a clear study on what we're paying for and what we're getting," she said.
Jody Tyson of Arba said he doesn't believe seeking a well-seasoned manager will be a realistic endeavor. Instead, he hopes the board will look for a young manager — the "best and brightest" in his or her career.
"I believe that in the search for a county manager," he said, "that a person who understands the rural agricultural setting of Greene County and the uniqueness of such a county with limited industrial development is imperative."
