HOUSTON – For the two most important players on the court, it takes time.
The guy with the ball and the guy who is going to get the ball have to be on the same page. They have to know when to cut, when to screen, when to take over and when to defer.
And they have to know what the other guy is doing, even before it happens.
Los Angeles' top duos will be on the court for the Western Conference in today's NBA All-Star Game. And while Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are attached in basketball bliss, Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard still have a ways to go.
"It's one of those things that might be overlooked, but it's huge," Griffin said. "The better rapport you have and the better relationship you have, the better you're going to be on the court.
"When you have two guys that dominate the ball a lot and are looked to a lot, the better relationship they have, the better off you're going to be."
Griffin and Paul are in their second season together, and the pairing has helped the Clippers own the fourth-best record in the NBA at the All-Star break.
While things were never as rocky as they are down the hall in Staples Center, Paul and Griffin had to learn how to play with each other.
Paul said it took him a few months to get used to playing with Griffin, and Griffin said the process took even longer.
"I have a lot better feel for his game and what he's thinking," Griffin said. "I was kind of learning the game through his eyes last year and am putting that to use this year.
"There are still times when I'm thinking one thing and he's thinking another, but we've closed that gap. We've gotten better."
The results have impressed Griffin and Paul's peers.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jrue Holiday got a first-hand look at the Clippers' last week, and while his team lost — badly — he enjoyed the up-close look at one of the NBA's best combos.
"They definitely click," Holiday said. "It's different playing against them. You definitely see the chemistry. Watching them, you can see it as well, but playing against them, hearing their conversations and everything, it's a beautiful thing."
There hasn't been as much beauty in the Bryant-Howard combination, though.

"Learning Russian with your Android device"
Reviewed by Anna Grace / Aug 26, 2013
Browse through the units and do the exercises
Learn Russian with busuu.com is an android application based on the website with the same name, in which you can practise your Russian from a beginner level to an advanced intermediate level.
In the main menu, you can choose to start a Course by tapping on Course Selection. Then, you can choose the level and start with the units. Each unit has 3 sections: the first one, with pictures and small explanatory texts about the main topic, a dialogue between people and some questions regarding it and finally a review, in which you can answer questions that cover everything you've seen in the previous sections. You can also choose to listen to the text instead of reading it, or doing both at the same time.
Back to main menu, you can continue your course right where you left it or choose to overview the mistakes you made during the tasks you were given, which is rather useful.
The main disadvantages of this learning application are the following two: firstly, in tablet devices you can't see the complete questions: you only see a part of them and it's kind of hard to do some of the exercises. Second of all, some of the units are paid features and you need to buy them on the market, so not everything's free.
Useful application for Russian learners, but it should be fixed for those using a tablet and some of the exercises should be reviewed. Maybe they could add an extra level for kids who don't know anything about Russian but like to play around with their parent's devices.
✰ In the latest release - Discounted offer to activate all courses!

MEETING FRIDAY, 4TH JUNE, 1937, at 160, Above Bar, Southampton.
Present:- Messrs. R. Morley and E.S. Sakoshansky (Labour Party) G. Feltham and L.Witt (Co-operative Soc.?
Absent: Messrs. R. Chick (on holiday) and F. Jensen (Trades Council)
MINUTES. The minutes of the last meeting held on Saturday, 27th March, were read, and it was agreed they be signed as a correct record.
MAY DAY MEETING. Sunday, 1st.
It was reported that at this meeting there was a good attendance of which it was particularly noted that the majority were composed either of the unconverted, or non-active supporters.
The total expenses were £5: 4: 6, and the collection for the Medical Aid Fund was £3: 18: 9.
Arising therefrom a discussion took place, and the Council expressed themselves in favour of an effective May Day Demonstration, including tableaux procession and meeting, being organised for next year. It was resolved to recommend that before the end of this year, - December - a fairly large General Committee, representative of all the interests of the three movements, be set up, and that Sub-Committees be formed therefrom to organise various phases of the procession and Demonstration on Sunday, May 1st, 1938.
SPANISH EXHIBITION. The Exhibition could not be booked for half a week, and was secured for the whole week, 10th to 15th May inclusive, an official opening by the Spanish Consul, and a following Conference with an address by Miss Olive Beamish, being held on Sunday, 9th.
The total receipts, Collecting Box and Literature Sales, was £13: 9: 2, and the Payments (including Exhibition Fee £3: 0: 0, and carriage £3: 4: 5) £17: 8: 7½, the net cost of the Conference and Exhibition being £3: 19: 5½.
The Development Committee of the Co-operative Society gave the free use of accommodation at 160, Above Bar, for the week, and thanks were accorded.
A record was taken of the number of persons visiting the Exhibition, the total being 500.
The week was well advertised, nearly 10,000 handbills being distributed. The Council discussed methods of advertising and felt that value was not obtained from a very general distribution of handbills.
The Secretary reported that of the yearly amount decided upon, - £60, £39: 0: 0 had been expended for the Spanish Campaign, and a call already made on the three bodies for their proportions. The cost of the Spanish Exhibition and Opening Conference was £4: 0: 0, and May Day Meeting £5: 4: 6, leaving about £12:0: 0 remaining for the suggested Common Meetings, probably in July and September.
The Labour Party suggested a definite allocation be made for the purpose of summer propaganda, and that in any future efforts for Spain the cost should be deducted from the proceeds and not be a charge on the Joint Council.

On a cold December day last year, eight-year-old Hennessy came to us limping and suffering from multiple untreated conditions. She underwent extensive surgery on her right knee. And through it all, she never lost her trust in people.
Housetrained and a great leash walker, she learned commands like Sit, Down and Leave It with the same enthusiasm she showed greeting people. Naturally, staff members fell in love with her one by one.
But Hennessy still hasn't found find a home of her own.
We know that some dogs take a little longer to find forever homes—but in the meantime they benefit from our top-notch veterinary care, playtime and snuggles with our devoted staff. At the ASPCA, dogs like Hennessey get all the time they need.
We're working hard to help as many animals as possible. With your support, we can continue to save lives like Hennessy's. We think she's worth it. Don't you?
This holiday, please make a small donation to help animals like Hennessy—they are counting on us.
was wondering what happened to Betty with the two puppies. Did she get well and adopted and did her puppies get adopted.
i appreciate all the things aspca does for dogs like hennessy . me and my family would love to adopt dogs that are in need of a home but we lie nowhere near new york so im not sure how'd that would work out
Pet Adopting a pet is a very special step, like bringing a new member of the family into our home. Adoption of Homeless Animals.

I too am wondering what happened to Betty and her two puppies that you had shown on TV? Please please tell us. My husband and I both are concerned. Thanks so much!

Great job!
I have ordered my save the date magnets and seals from here. I get to personalize everything and I when I get it in the mail, it looks great! I would definitely recommend it
Amazing stationery
I have been on many wedding stationery websites that deemed themselves a true 'design-it-yourself' website. Magnet Street is THE company to get your stationery from. It is the only company in my book that allows you to design the stationery the way you want it and in any color you want. I am getting all of my stationery for my wedding from the save the dates to the thank you cards. My favorite is the Classic Allure collection (which is what I am using!). It is simple yet elegant. The design works very well with my wedding colors (peach & ivory). I'm very happy with the finished product of my samples! They all turned out just as I expected and then some. Magnet Street has far exceeded my expextations. We are very excited.
I had a hard time finding invitations to incorporate all 3 of my wedding colors, but these were perfect! They came out beautifully and I am beyond thrilled with the product and ease of use of the system.
Great company product and service
We ordered our save the dates and now invitations and couldn't have been happier. The customer service was awesome. I was particularly picky about things and they helped me each time to provide me with what I wanted (and the turn around was very fast!) AND they didn't call me a bridezilla; even after the fifth revision ;). On top of it the price was great and they offer great discounts which make it even better. The save the dates and invitation package came out great- good quality. I would most definitely (and have) recommend magnet street to anyone with stationary needs. I will be coming back to order ceremony and reception items as well. Thanks for all the help and great work :)

YADKINVILLE — Yadkin County volleyball squads continued their remarkable runs through the state playoffs Thursday night in third-round action.
In Albemarle, Mountain Valley Conference champion Starmount swept host Albemarle 25-12, 25-20, 25-22 to continue its dominance in the 1A volleyball picture.
Haley Hartman powered the Lady Rams to victory with 11 kills, 17 digs, three assists and two aces, while Hunter Welborn tallied 17 kills, five blocks and three digs. Erin Barr recorded 38 assists with six digs.
Alli Jones and Ashley Johnson combined for a perfect 26-for-26 mark on serves with eight digs and five kills. Alli St. John added eight kills, four digs and two blocks, while Leah Simpson tacked on three assists and one dig. Brittany Zellar tallied four digs.
Starmount will take on North Stokes in the Elite 8 Saturday afternoon in Boonville. The match is set for 2:00 p.m.
In King, Forbush's magical run through the 2A bracket added another chapter Thursday as the Lady Falcons stunned conference rival West Stokes in three games, 25-22, 25-19, 25-22.
Forbush, the No. 3 seed from the Western Piedmont Conference, got revenge on the league's No. 2 seed for two regular-season losses Thursday, sweeping the Wildcats out of the postseason.
Jessica Funk led the Falcons' charge with 14 kills, while senior Makenzie Dudley tallied 12. Anna Harris and Mallory Choplin added three aces apiece.
Forbush's Cinderalla run through the playoffs will continue against Lake Norman Charter Saturday. Lake Norman Charter stunned defending champion North Surry, ending the Greyhounds' 25-match winning streak, to advance.

Americans awoke Tuesday to the fact that nearly half the federal government has shut down, and to a certainty that one-sixth of the U.S. economy will be profoundly altered via Obamacare.
We mention these two points together because House Republicans want a one-year delay on new health provisions before they'll approve a new federal budget. Democrats refuse.
Result: Hundreds of thousands of "nonessential" government workers may be idled for hours, days, weeks. We'll just have to see how that plays out. Many federal offices will be closed, workers furloughed while Congress tries to unknot itself. Among the casualities
Essential services — cutting Social Security checks, patrolling the border, keeping airports safe — will continue.
But even a government shutdown won't stop the Obamacare rollout. This is the largest health care expansion since the passage of Medicare in 1965. It is here, now. Millions of Americans must obtain coverage or pay a penalty.
On Tuesday, the new online marketplaces opened for business. That means some of Obamacare's mysteries will be solved: What will coverage cost? What will plans cover? How much will copays and deductibles be?
Americans have dozens of questions about it. Locally, people do as well. In all, more than 11,000 adults in Alamance County between the ages of 18 and 64 are without health insurance.
Area government and nonprofit services have met for months to map a strategy for aiding those puzzled or with fears about the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Officials with the Alamance County Department of Social Services, Health Department, Public Libraries and United Way gathered at the Twin Lakes retirement village on Tuesday to set up a bank of volunteers who will be trained to help applicants. The county Health Department reports that three full-time navigators will be available to provide support. County libraries will be available for these navigators to guide applicants. In addition, Graham Public Library will be the site for an information session at 6 p.m. Nov. 4.
Still, with all this advance preparation, folks may want to wait for a few days (weeks?) to let the feds work out the kinks.
What's certain is that Obamacare health care changes will ripple through every American's life. Doctors, hospitals and insurers have invested large sums to gear up for the law's complex requirements. They'll treat many new patients.
Employers are scrambling to make decisions: Hire? Fire? Cut workers' hours? Even those that now provide health care may shunt employees into new, privately run exchanges. That's a rapidly evolving alternative to today's employer-managed insurance system and to Obamacare: Employers pay a set amount for employees, who then choose from among multiple plans on a private exchange.
Millions of Americans stand to gain or lose from this law and its consequences, intended and unintended. And now, as if to compound all the controversy that Obamacare has provoked, it's caught up in an epic battle over deficits and debt.
The Republicans argue that Obamacare's mandates are so unpopular that Americans will understand a shutdown. We think they instead should be focusing their attack on the unsustainability of all major entitlement programs. Obamacare, which stands to become a huge and profligate federal spending spree, is but one of those entitlements. We wish the effort to kill Obamacare hadn't outpaced larger concerns about existing programs — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security — that already risk insolvency.
Once Republicans and Democrats stop grandstanding, we think there's a solution to this impasse: Don't force individuals to sign up for coverage this year. Suspend that mandate for a year, just as employers were relieved for a year of their mandate to provide insurance.
A year's delay could allow both major political parties to declare victory. Better, it would allow millions of Americans who obtain coverage under Obamacare, and many who don't, to see how this system works.

So many problems :(
By GD
from Honolulu, HI
About Me Homeowner
I used to have a Scooba 300 series and I loved it. I used it for almost a year until it stopped working. So I traded up for the 400. I wish I could go and buy the same one I had before because of all the problems. Right out of the box it doesn't dispense enough water and after a couple uses one of the tread on the wheels starts coming off. I sent a request for help on the dispensing of water and I recieved a lovely answer about how it was my fault for not using the proper solution. I was using the irobot solution and water. It's always nice when they blame you off the bat before checking on any facts. I then was asked a bunch of random questions that had nothing to do with the dispensing of water (How exactly does room size matter in water dispensing?). I'm still working to try and fix the problem, but honestly i feel I'm going to have to return this and try again or wait until the next series where they fix these little problems. And I'm very bummed considering I LOVED my old scooba. I kind of feel that they went overboard with the tech extras. I don't need a voice telling me that you are stuck (when you aren't). I just need a basic scooba that cleans until it's done.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I LOVE this product!
By dog toy
from Trinity, Texas
About Me I Used To Use Mine To Vac, Pet Owner, Renter
I bought the roomba and the scooba when I hurt my back in 07. It saved my floors and I will always own both of the products. If you said I could only have 1 the scooba would win.My husband "blows" out my roomba occasionally.My dog will turn it on turn his back to it lay down and "let" it get him. He acts surprised and does it all over again.

Not worth the money
By Disappointed :-(
from Kiln, MS
Compared to the old Scooba, it has a much shorter battery life. New, this one will only clean half of the space as my old Scooba-what is the battery going to be like after usage? My virtual wall only works occasionally- you never know when it will let the Scooba escape into another room. I have multiple IRobot products-loved them all. This one -not so much! It is very expensive and just not worth the money!

Scooba 450 is terrific
By PJH
from MD & FL
If you have pets the water filter may clog and give you error 19. Easy to follow instructions to clean filter are available. Now that I know the procedure.... I'll turn it into a routine.I have Roomba 880, Scooba 450 and Brava 380T I use them regularly and love them all. Each has a special use. Without children or pets most people might be happy with the Brava 380T for simple mopping with a Swifter pad.

Great for perfectly flat floors
By HCip
from LI, NY
I got this for my 500 sq foot kitchen/entrance/etc. which is tile. The tile are large but have wide deep grout lines. The Roomba is fine on this surface and does a great job, however the Scooba stops at each grout line acting like it is a cliff! I returned the first one, with in the first few weeks I noticed this happening and the second (refurbished is what they send I think) did the same thing! I gave up and now it just does my wood floors in the rest of the house. For that is is amazing and I would think it would do a great job on flat floors with no bumps or lips.I wish it was as "smart" as my Roomba- being able to go home to its recharge station..I have to find it and plug it in when it is done.

Died and gone to heaven!
By Mom with a career
from El Paso, Texas
I've used this product to clean rooms with multiple floor types (hardwood/tile). It stops at the carpet automatically. I love this floor scrubber and now I want to purchase the Roomba for my carpet. I have pets (dogs/cat) and it picks up all the hair. It cleans the hair from my daughter's bathroom floor. I love the convenience. My only wish is that it would have a charger that it could return to and charge automatically like the Roomba model. It is perfect for routine cleaning. I am completely happy with my Scooba!

Sadly a BIG step down from 390
By Greg
from Miami, FL
I've been an irobot customer for a decade or more, since the very first Roomba. I've had at least one of EVERY generation of Roomba and one or more of every Scooba. Some have been better than others, but I can say that each new generation offered at least some improvement. Until now.The 450 is a disaster. Yes, it runs around MUCH faster. It's maybe three or four times as fast as the older Scoobas. It has a nice compact tank assembly that's easy to fill and to dump. The removable brush head assembly is MUCH nicer than prior generations.But sadly the 450 is an unequivocal DISASTER in the most important area. It cleans worse than ANY earlier models. It leaves massive amounts of dirty water on the floor. Much less than half the water you put in will come back out. All you really do is change your dust into mud trails. The thing has also now begun making a HOWLING noise that I can hear from outside my house. It's too loud to hear a TV or radio, too loud to even read a book. Maybe it's time for irobot to abandon mopping robots. My new brushless Roomba is BY FAR the best Roomba yet. It is as brilliant as the Scooba is horrible.Save yourself the frustration. Buy a Roomba or a second or third Roomba. Skip the Scooba 450.

Great idea, but won't do the job
By Spizwink
from The Villages, FL
The unit does not dispense water evenly and does not pick up what it does dispense. It stops dispensing water altogether leaving the clean water tank 1/2 full. The dirty tank is completely empty, so the water it dispensed evaporates from my tile floor. I wrote to iRobot on their own website feedback line and have not heard a word back.

My favorite machine
By J and C
from Palm Springs, CA
We have a 1200 square foot condo in the Palm Springs area that has a tile floor. The desert can be very dusty and we have tried Swifters, steamers and nothing comes close to the job that our Scooba does. We add a little vinegar to the Sccoba water and the tile floor comes out spectacular!

In January 2014, three months after the start of the 2014 fiscal year, Congress passed and the President signed a bill
funding the US
government through September 30, 2014. The budget did not include the across-the-board sequester cuts in effect in 2013. The final estimated funding for research and development at science
agencies significant to biophysics members is in the chart below .
The President released an overview of his proposed federal budget for FY 2015 on March 4, 2014. Details for specific agencies were rolled out over the next several weeks. The budget he sent to Congress adhered to the Budget Control Caps set by Congress in late 2013, which allowed with little room for growth in spending but did cancel the sequester cuts that would have taken place in 2014 and 2015. While the result is a rather flat funding outlook, it is better than further reductions to federal spending on research and development. With that said, the proposed budget barely keeps up with inflation (and in the case of NIH, does not).
As part of the budget roll out process, the White House included an additional $56 billion in funding on top of his regular request, through what's being called the Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative (OGSI). The President has proposed paying for the additional expenditures through a combination of revenue increases and some spending cuts elsewhere, stating that the items he included in OGSI are priorities the country should fund. The OGSI includes $5.3 billion for R&D.While some of the budgets documents prepared by the specific agencies mention the OGSI and explain how those funds would be spent, not all do. The information available is include in the chart below.

On Thursday, April 18, and Friday, April 19, 2013, the Fountain Valley Police Department and Los Amigos High School will present the "Every 15 Minutes" program to the junior and senior classes. This two-day program focuses on personal safety, drinking and driving and the potential consequences of poor decision-making. The program's name was derived from statistics that show every 15 minutes someone in the United States dies from an alcohol-related traffic accident. The goal of the program is to reduce alcohol-related traffic collisions in our community. The program is presented prior to prom and graduation ceremonies which makes this a timely event.
On Thursday, April 18, at 10:00 a.m., a fatal alcohol-related traffic accident will be re-enacted. This will take place at the intersection of Foothill and Heil, just north of the Los Amigos High School campus. The Fountain Valley Police Department, Fire Department and CARE Ambulance will participate in the re-enactment. The injured parties will be transported to local hospitals. Additionally, a student will be pronounced dead at the scene. The person responsible for the accident will be arrested and booked at the Fountain Valley Police Department.
Prior to the traffic accident re-enactment, 20 students, known as the "living dead," will be removed from class by a Grim Reaper at 15-minute intervals. The Grim Reaper will appear in classrooms around the campus, and a Fountain Valley police officer or a volunteer police chaplain will read the mock obituaries for the "living dead." As this occurs on campus, police officers and police chaplains will deliver death notifications to the parents of the victims of the re-enacted traffic accident. Although the parents know that this is a staged event, emotional impact of the notification has proved to be overwhelming to those involved.
On April 19, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., a school assembly will take place. The entire junior and senior class will be involved. This year Jason Barber will speak at the assembly. Jason, who lost a family member in an alcohol related traffic collision, has first-hand experience on how drinking and driving can impact the lives of many. There will be a video presentation of the events surrounding the prior day's traffic accident. This video is produced by students at Fountain Valley High School who have volunteered their time to assist Los Amigos High School.
The "living dead" will be reunited with their families after being isolated from them overnight, and several of them will speak at the assembly. This is proven to be another very emotionally charged part of the program.
Due to the street closures in the area of the event, it is recommended that Press arrive 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the program. Street closures will encompass Foothill and Heil just east of Newhope. Street closures are anticipated between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Highway Patrol with assistance from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
