But unlike a year ago when eventual New Orleans Pelicans pick Anthony Davis was a no-brainer for the top selection, there's debate about this year's top pick that could be injured freshman center Nerlens Noel.
Not only did Noel suffer a devastating season-ending knee injury that ended his only collegiate season, but he's unable to do any workouts and there's already some debate over how much — if any — Noel will play in his 2013-14 rookie season.
Perhaps due to the uncertainty at the top spot, there's enormous uncertainty about potential selections throughout the draft.
That includes the Charlotte Bobcats' No. 4 overall selection as they prepare for their final draft before changing their nickname to "Hornets" in 2014-15 — and their first draft with new coach Steve Clifford.
Clifford has been able to watch only one full workout — last Wednesday's two sessions with 12 players — but he and his franchise have held interviews with a pair of players linked to them in several mock drafts in Maryland sophomore Alex Len and UNLV freshman forward Anthony Bennett.
Len (foot) and Bennett (shoulder) haven't worked out for any team due to injuries.
Clifford says he's deferring to the experts within his organization about the franchise's newest player.
"To me, the workout is a very small part of the whole process," Clifford said last after last Wednesday's workouts. "As a coach, my experiences are that you're reinforcing things.
"The scouting department has been watching these guys for years. I think the worst thing a coaching staff can do … is to come in and watch a guy for an hour or watch one film and say, 'Hey, I like him better.'"
Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins and general manager Rich Cho said since the draft lottery last month that their goal was to pick the player that best aided the rebuilding of this organization — regardless of position.
Since it's hard to argue that any current player is an "untradeable core player," even as point guard Kemba Walker, off-guard Gerald Henderson, small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and forward-center Bismack Biyombo showed varying degrees, mock drafts have the Bobcats picking a guard, forward or center with their selection.
The mock drafts of seven NBA draft websites have that ranging from Len to Bennett to
It's similar to the top pick, of which four websites choose Noel while two others pick Len and another chooses
For a franchise that had to win its last three games to avoid having the NBA's worst record for the second straight season — and eventually fired head coach Mike Dunlap after one season — there's little doubt the Bobcats hope that whomever they choose will prompt improvement.
Clifford addressed how a younger player improves in the NBA when asked about the frustration teams are feeling since they can't see top prospects like Noel, Len and Bennett due to injuries.
"In my experiences, guys are going to make their biggest jumps in their first, second and third years, especially the guys that are going to be really good," said Clifford, whose team will field a Las Vegas Summer League team next month. "And summer league is a really good start. Not just the games. Practice is big because they have to learn to practice. Guys have to be more precise and more detail-oriented. Sometimes in the summer league, guys take a step back and you have to work to help them improve."
Already it's been a busy time for Clifford, who since being hired on May 29 has hired Patrick Ewing as associate head coach and hired Stephen Silas and Mark Price as assistants in addition to talking to each and every player on the team's roster.
"The attitude of our players so far has been great," Clifford said. "I've had a chance to talk to all of them. I like where they're at and we've talked about their approaches to the summer. I think we have a lot of guys who are serious players and committed to having good summers."

In The Kitchen House, author Kathleen Grissom weaves together the stories of two women: Lavinia, an Irish immigrant who, in 1791, arrives alone in America at 7-years-old and becomes an indentured servant on a Virginia tobacco plantation, and Belle, the slave who takes care of her. Narrators Orlagh Cassidy and Bahni Turpin (known for her work as Minny in The Help) alternate chapters, so listeners get the same story from two very different perspectives both with their own unique voice. Both Lavinia's Irish accent and Belle's southern dialect are smooth and authentic, and as both characters interact with the same group of people, the narrators keep the secondary voices consistent; they can manage the white-collar accent of a Philadelphia society girl, the dangerous undertones of a malicious slave owner, and the distinctive voices of each of the plantation's slaves with equal confidence.
Grissom, who says she was inspired by her own modern-day renovation of a Virginia plantation, fills the novel with careful details, historical touches, and believable racial and political tensions. As Lavinia grows up, she finds herself caught between the slaves that raised her and the white world that waits for her and her tone, naïve and uncomprehending when she's not allowed to sit with her black friends in church as a child, matures along with her. She sounds weary and resigned (though still optimistic) when, as an adult, she faces similar challenges. As Belle navigates complicated relationships with her lover, parents, and siblings, the reading remains convincing, emotional, and satisfying. And when a generation of closely-held secrets leads to danger and tragedy for both women, each is forced to choose where her loyalties lay. Blythe Copeland
When a white servant girl violates the order of plantation society, she unleashes a tragedy that exposes the worst and best in the people she has come to call her family.
Orphaned while onboard ship from Ireland, seven-year-old Lavinia arrives on the steps of a tobacco plantation where she is to live and work with the slaves of the kitchen house. Under the care of Belle, the master's illegitimate daughter, Lavinia becomes deeply bonded to her adopted family, though she is set apart from them by her white skin. Eventually, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium addiction. Lavinia finds herself perilously straddling two very different worlds. When she is forced to make a choice, loyalties are brought into question, dangerous truths are laid bare, and lives are put at risk.
The Kitchen House is a tragic story of page-turning suspense, exploring the meaning of family, where love and loyalty prevail.

"Forget Gone With the Wind. Belle and Lavinia, the heroines in this novel, will make Scarlett seem like a wimp in comparison….Together they narrate a story that grabs the reader and demands to be devoured. Wow." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
"[Grissom's] debut twists the conventions of the antebellum novel....Provides a trove of tension and grit, while the many nefarious doings will keep readers hooked to the twisted, yet hopeful, conclusion." (Publishers Weekly)
"Kathleen Grissom peers into the plantation romance through the eyes of a white indentured servant inhabiting the limbo land between slavery and freedom, providing a tale that provokes new empathy for all working and longing in The Kitchen House." (Alice Randall, author of The Wind Done Gone and Rebel Yell)
"This is a must!"
I have listened to over 250 audible books and this is the first book that has moved me to write a review. I agree with all the accolades this book has received. Yes, there are a few tough scenes but that is what happened during those years of slavery. I would love to see a sequel and a movie should be made. The only criticism I have is that it ended too soon. I wish the author would have extended the story just a little longer. I just finished it and am starting it again.
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"Good, but with reservations"
This is a bleak book. While you wait for something, anything, good to happen to these people, it's one horrible injustice after another. It's engaging because of the narration. But, you end up feeling spent.
"Great but sad"
This is a great book and I could not stop listening but it is a sad story and at times I just wished something would go right rather than one disaster after another. I still recommend it highly and the narration was excellent, I immediately recognized Belle's voice from "The Help"
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"Wonderful Book!"
This book is perfect in every way. The narration is spot on, in tone and pace, a match to the depth of the plot. The character development was so expertly accomplished. I cared for each kind character and I truly despised the villains.
I felt that the characters were true to the times and am surprised that some of the reviewers expect the characters to behave as if they were living in this century.
I too loved the ending, it was perfect and am so very glad the author did not go for the obvious, well you know if you read the book. THANK YOU Ms.Grissom, we are ready for your next novel.
"Add a couple more stars!!"
This book was so good that when I finished it I started right over and the second time was even better. I caught so much that I missed the first time. The Narrators were excellent and easy to listen to. The biggest problem was I couldn't stop listening. I enjoyed this book as much or more than The Help and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
Enjoying one good listen after the next!
"This is a Story of Survival; Profound and Moving"
While some who have reviewed this book describe it as dark and sad, I would suggest that it is profound, moving and merely set in a dark and sad time in our country. Slavery and indentured servitude are themes that may not be easy topics about which to read, but this author and the amazing narrators have created a story that will captivate and engage you.
I found the story to be very moving, at times eliciting a strong emotional response. Who could listen to Lavinia and Belle tell about the events in their lives, both good and bad, without empathy? I could not.
Historical fiction lovers will not want to miss this great novel. It is a story that is at times painful, but always worthy of your time and intellect.
"Similar to "The Help'"
I was so happy to find this book as it reminded me of 'The Help.' Another book about slavery in the South but a twist not in 'The Help' which is a white endentured slave. Again a glimpse in how life was back then for all involved: white children with tutors, tutors with not so good intentions, ranch hands, the black families that worked with the white family and how the black families/slaves cared for their masters and also themselves. Gilimpses of unresolved anger and rage as well as the sweet glimpse of understanding another's pain. If you liked 'The Help' I believe you will like 'The Kitchen House'
"For the love of all things Holy, READ THIS!!!"
Yes! It's such a great story!
Momma Mae. Her inspired wisdom tendered with compassion warmth and strength is so embraceable. But...all the characters are unique. Good or bad, they're there with each facet clearly reflecting their well developed characters.
Rankin...so I could poison him.
Loved every minute of this book. Everyone should read this book. What's not to love! If I could give it 10 stars I would.
"Good book but Depressing!"
Dont read this expecting a light or easy listen! It was one crisis after another, one tragedy after another... After awhile, you could predict what was going to happen. I am sure it was historically accurate and the writing was good. However, Lavinia, one of the main characters, had to be the densest woman ever- even by late 18th- early 19th century standards. I guess I wasn't expecting to listen to so much angst driving home in traffic after a bad day at work.
"What is slavery?"
This book shows that slavery comes in many forms. Indentured servants, slaves and even wives who find out their husbands are not what they thought and end up in a marriage where they are less free than many slaves. In the 1700s, on a Virginia tobacco plantation, a young Irish immigrant girl finds herself living among African American slaves who become her family. They run the "Kitchen House" and serve the people in the "big" house. She eventually lives in the big house herself but finds she is closer to a slave when living in the big house as a "free" woman than she was when living with the African Americans in the kitchen house. Great listen, plenty of action and very good narration.

Frans Ludeke will be the Lions Director of Rugby in the Currie Cup and will stay on as head coach in the 2007 Super 14.
SA under 19 coach Eugene Eloff will be the Lions head coach, having worked as Ludeke's assistant for the last five years. Any talk of Ludeke being axed will go nowhere because the union cannot afford to can the coach and there isn't a performance-related clause in his contract. He is in for the next five years at R1.2 million a year.
Suparugby website reported that Loffie would be given the coaching duties to allow Ludeke breathing space after the disasters of the Super 14, in which the Cats have won just two matches and are placed 13th out of 14th with just one match to play.
The Cats play the Cheetahs in the final match.

Likely Treasury chief Lew faces early budget tests
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 9:36pm EST
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The to-do list that awaits Jacob Lew, President Barack Obama's choice to be Treasury secretary, is daunting.
Bridge disputes in Congress on taxes and spending. Shrink budget deficits. Manage tense economic ties with China. Press Europe to reduce debts while fighting a recession. Defend the U.S. financial overhaul law. Prevent a global currency war.
And those are just the obvious challenges.
Lew's job isn't quite as perilous as the one that greeted the now-departed Timothy Geithner four years ago. As Treasury secretary, Geithner had to help stabilize a teetering U.S. banking system after the worst financial crisis since the 1930s and help lift the economy out of a deep recession.
The economy and banking system are far healthier now. But if the Senate backs Lew's nomination after a committee hearing Wednesday, he will likely have to marshal all his strengths as a budget specialist and perhaps overcome inexperience in some areas to achieve significant success.
The federal budget is sure to preoccupy Lew's early weeks, and it's also likely to dominate his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. Republicans are expected to use the hearing to stress their differences with the administration over deficits and taxes.
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the panel's top Republican, said he would press Lew on "what kind of plan the Obama administration has to confront our skyrocketing debt and our broken entitlement programs."
Lew, 57, will likely be well-prepared to spar over taxes and spending. He has twice served as a White House budget director -- once during the Clinton administration and once under Obama before becoming White House chief of staff.
Going back to his days as an aide to House Speaker Tip O'Neill in the early 1980s, Lew has amassed three decades of experience at the top levels of Washington policy-making.
He isn't expected to have trouble winning Senate confirmation, despite the likely arguments from Republicans that the administration isn't doing enough to contain "entitlement" programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security whose costs are straining the federal budget.
After Wednesday's hearing, committee members will have two days to send questions to Lew to answer before they vote. The full Senate could vote on the nomination late this month.
That would give Lew little time before his first budget challenge -- the March 1 date when deep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs will kick in unless Congress and the administration agree on some way to avert them.
The second challenge would come March 27, when much of the government would shut down if Congress doesn't extend a temporary measure authorizing funding. And the nation's borrowing limit must be raised by May 18 or the government could default on its debts.
Few are optimistic that negotiators will strike a "grand bargain" to simultaneously resolve the budget rifts, avoid slashing spending too much for now and shrink the deficit over the long run.
"You will get little deals along the way but not much else," said Stanley Collender, a budget expert at Qorvis Communications. "I don't see them having the time or the inclination to do a grand bargain."
Collender thinks a temporary government shutdown will occur once the current budget measure runs out March 27. A shutdown could force the two sides into a compromise over spending cuts and the need to fund the government for the rest of the budget year.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, has said he will oppose Lew's nomination. Sessions argues that Lew misled Congress as Obama's budget director when he said the administration's 2012 budget wouldn't increase the nation's debt.
"To elevate him to the premier finance post in the country would be wrong -- and it would represent a clear danger to our economy and to the working people of this country," Sessions said in a statement. "We must have a person who, when speaking of America's financial condition, will be totally candid."
House Republican officials who negotiated with Obama's team over a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling in 2011 have accused Lew of using budget gimmicks to demonstrate phantom cuts in spending.
"Lew is obviously very knowledgeable on budget matters, but he may lack the diplomatic skills to forge a compromise with Congress," said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University.
But Collender said he saw the Republican criticism as signaling that Lew was a tough negotiator.

Andrew Solomon:
Depression, the secret we share
"The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and it was vitality that seemed to seep away from me in that moment." In a talk equal parts eloquent and devastating, writer Andrew Solomon takes you to the darkest corners of his mind during the years he battled depression. That led him to an eye-opening journey across the world to interview others with depression — only to discover that, to his surprise, the more he talked, the more people wanted to tell their own stories. (Filmed at TEDxMet.)

Chemotherapy With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage IB, Stage II, or Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Was Removed By Surgery
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|Phase III
|18 and over
Trial Description
This randomized phase III trial studies chemotherapy and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab also may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
Further Study Information
I. To evaluate overall survival with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab used in the adjuvant setting in patients with resected stage IB (>= 4 cm) - IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
I. To evaluate disease-free survival and toxicity with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab used in the adjuvant setting in patients with resected stage IB (>= 4 cm) - IIIA NSCLC.
II. To perform analyses of tissue and blood to establish factors that predict clinical outcome in patients receiving chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for resected early stage NSCLC.
III. To determine whether smoking status is linked to outcome for patients with resected stage IB (>= 4 cm) - IIIA NSCLC treated with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab in the adjuvant setting.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I (adjuvant chemotherapy without bevacizumab): Patients receive 1 of 4 chemotherapy regimens.
REGIMEN 1: Patients receive vinorelbine ditartrate intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 immediately following vinorelbine ditartrate administration.
REGIMEN 2: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and cisplatin over 1 hour on day 1 immediately following docetaxel administration.
REGIMEN 3: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 immediately following gemcitabine administration.
REGIMEN 4 (non-squamous histology only): Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 immediately following pemetrexed disodium administration.
In all regimens, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (adjuvant chemotherapy with bevacizumab): Patients receive chemotherapy as in Arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 1 year.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 10 years.

MiZo Pecs destroyed ESB Lille Metropole 94-42 in the last EuroLeague Women Qualifying Round game for both sides.
With MiZo assured of a fourth-place finish and a spot in the Eighth-Finals before tip-off and their French opponents already eliminated from play-off contention, the Hungarians romped.
Chasing a second-place finish in the pool, Avenida brushed aside their French opponents.
Janell Burse exploded for 28 points and 17 rebounds as Wisla Can-Pack stayed perfect in Group B with 93-73 win over struggling ESB Lille Metropole.
Marta Fernandez added 20 points and Iziane Castro Marques 19 in a game in which Wisla took control early and never relinquished.
The Italians, in winning for the fifth time in seven games, stormed into a 21-13 lead by the end of the opening quarter and effectively had victory in the bag by half-time when they had a 48-27 stranglehold on proceedings.

The first and only high-design hotel on this one-time skid row is the younger sister to the Maritime, over in the Meatpacking District, and is thus as clear evidence as any that this little strip, bordering on the East Village and the still slightly rough-edged Lower East Side, has officially gentrified. Downtown purists can fret all they like, but the realists among us have learned to sit back and enjoy the ride. After all, we come not to bury CBGB, but to praise the Bowery.
And praiseworthy it certainly is. Like the Hotel on Rivington, it's an incongruously tall building in a low-rise neighborhood (for the time being at least), so the views from the open-plan loft-style rooms show a side of the East Village that's rarely seen. Rooms are swanky, with generous space, fine linens, iPods, and top-shelf bath products.
Public spaces, though, are slightly more stripped-down — this place is made for revelry, not pampering, with an emphasis on nightlife at the expense of some other luxe-hotel frills. You're not going to get babied here, Four Seasons-style; you will, however, mingle with an interesting (and youthful) crowd of hipsters and Bowery early adopters, and you'll have access to some of New York's last wild neighborhoods, while familiar old Soho and Tribeca aren't far beyond.

What I liked:
Stylishly classic, incredibly warm and comfortable. Beautiful both aesthetically, as well as operationally (they obviously know how to run a hotel). And I love the neighborhood.
What the hotel could do better:
The food is really good but not outstanding. Otherwise, it is one of my favorite places to stay in NYC.

Photo Paper
Photo paper is one of the most vital things to carry around while shooting your subjects. It adds to the quality of the images captured and enhances the overall lighting effect of the shoot, and is designed to make printed photos look sharp, vibrant and more like a traditional photograph. When photographic paper is exposed to light it captures a latent image that is then developed to form a visible image. Such photographic paper or professional photo printing paper is provided by several reputed camera labels. HP photo paper, Ilford photo paper, Ilford film, Kodak film, Kodak photo paper, Canon photo paper, Epson photo paper, Fuji photo paper, and many other reputable options of high quality photo paper can be found on the Unique Photo roster. Several varieties of professional photo paper such as matte photo paper, metallic photo paper, and glossy photo paper are also available to choose from. Ultimately, you must remember that whether you are using glossy paper or matte paper, or high quality labels such as Epson paper or Ilford paper, the best photo paper is always the one that meets the requirement of the shoot it is being used for.
