Celtics hope to close
By Chris David
How does a team that notched 31 road victories in the regular season not be able to pick up one win away from home in the postseason? Boston head coach Doc Rivers is trying to figure out that answer and hoping to do it sooner than later.
The Celtics have another chance to answer the bell on Friday when the club visits Cleveland for Game 6.
"If Boston is going to step up, then it better not leave its defense at home," said VegasInsider.com handicapper Mark Fox.
"The Celtics owned the second best defense in the league during the regular season, yet they've been torched in the playoffs on the road by two attacks that I wouldn't classify as stellar."
Boston allowed 90.3 points per game this year, the second best effort behind Detroit (90.1 PPG). In five postseason games against the Hawks and Cavaliers, the team has given up 99.6 PPG.
What's even more eye opening is that the best player, LeBron James, for the Cavs hasn't even played well at home in the second round. The All-Star posted a pair of 21-point efforts in the Cavs' two home wins in Game 3 and 4 but only shot 12-of-38 (31.5%) from the field.
On Wednesday, James put forth his best game of the series by posting 35 points on 48 percent shooting (12-of-25) and making 11-of-13 free throw attempts.
Despite the top performance, Boston still captured a 96-89 victory in Game 5. The Celtics received 29 points from Paul Pierce and 26 points from Kevin Garnett in the victory, but Ray Allen continued to struggle with 11 points.
Cleveland covered as a nine-point road underdog in Game 5's loss and the combined 187 points jumped 'over' the closing total of
Fox added, "The Celtics traded away their future draft picks by acquiring Ray Allen from Seattle in the offseason. The former UConn standout has been good in the regular season but continues to show his softness in the postseason. You can bet that Pierce and Garnett are hoping he can step up for the remainder of the playoffs."
Allen's performance has become contagious with Boston and its outside shooting in this series. Through five games, the team has managed to hit just 27 percent (20-of-73) from downtown. During the regular season Doc's club hit 38 percent from 3-point land, which was the fifth best mark in the league.
Cleveland's long-ball attack could be in jeopardy Friday, with Daniel Gibson (shoulder) listed as "out" for Game 6. He's expected to miss the next 1-2 weeks as well, possibly keeping him out of the remainder of the playoffs.
Tip-off is slated for 8:05 p.m. EDT, with ESPN providing national coverage.
If necessary, Game 7 is slated from Boston on Sunday.
Gambling Notes:
-- The Cavaliers are listed as three-point favorites in Game 6.
-- Mike Brown's team was laying 1 and 2 points in their first two contests at Quicken Loans Arena versus the Celtics, but gained a little respect from the books and public for their third home battle against the Celtics.
-- Total players have watched the number jump for the sixth installment from 176 to 179 after Game 5.
-- The 'under' has gone 3-2 in the first five games.
-- Cleveland has covered four of the five matchups, despite trailing 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
-- The Cavs are 4-1 both SU and ATS at home in the playoffs, while the Celtics are 0-4 both SU and ATS on the road.
-- Home teams are 19-1 straight up in the second round of the playoffs. Detroit's 90-89 victory against Orlando in the conference semifinals was the lone road win.

Utah's Kirilenko misses practice before Game 6
May 15, 2008
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko missed practice Thursday because of a travel visa, a day before Utah faced the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Agent Marc Fleisher said Kirilenko had to finalize a travel visa for a family trip to France this summer and Thursday was the only day he could do it without having to wait another month. Fleisher said Kirilenko, who is a Russian citizen, told the Jazz ahead of time about the conflict and was given permission to miss practice.
Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said Kirilenko told coach Jerry Sloan he had an appointment for the visa that had been scheduled for weeks. Kirilenko was still expected to start Friday night.
The Jazz returned to Utah early Thursday after a 111-104 loss in Los Angeles, putting the Lakers up 3-2 in the series.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 16
Jazz don't want to stay home after Game 6
May 15, 2008
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Happy to be home, the Utah Jazz are desperate for another chance on the road.
Utah hosts Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, who lead 3-2 and can wrap it up by becoming the first road team to win in the series.
Los Angeles won at home 111-104 Wednesday night to move within a victory of clinching. The Jazz had their most competitive road performance of the series, but still couldn't overcome the Lakers - even as Kobe Bryant played conservatively with a bad back.
If the Jazz lose Friday, they won't get another chance.
``If we lose, we go home,'' forward Matt Harpring said. ``We certainly don't want to lose on our home court the last game of the year. No way.''
The Lakers have the advantage of knowing a loss won't end their season. They also know that eventually Bryant's back will be healthy enough for him to drive to the basket again. But the best thing for Bryant's back would be ending this series as soon as possible and letting him rest up before the Western Conference finals.
Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson said Bryant and three other starters sat out Thursday instead of practicing. He added that Bryant, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol already know what they need to do Friday night in Utah, where the Jazz are 4-1 in the playoffs and went 37-4 in the regular season.
``The message is being under control. It's about execution at this point. It's about winning the game,'' Jackson said. ``There's a lot of intensity. We probably have to play 10 points better than we did last night to win it.''
Bryant was not available to reporters Thursday afternoon.
Odom said Bryant's performance in Game 5 was an example for the rest of the Lakers. The league MVP's back stiffened up in the fourth quarter and he did not attempt a field goal in the period, but still finished with 26 points, seven assists and six rebounds.
``Incredible, as always,'' Odom said. ``Kobe made plays for us when he needed to.''
The Jazz were pretty relaxed at practice Thursday morning, although still unhappy about Gasol's offensive rebound and dunk to put the Lakers up 107-102 with 20 seconds remaining in Game 5. The Jazz felt Gasol shoved Mehmet Okur in the back before grabbing the rebound, but there was no foul called.
``You can't worry about that. If you keep that in your craw, then you're going to be affected by it in the next game,'' Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. ``The biggest thing to do is to wipe it out and get ready to go tomorrow night.''
The Jazz couldn't blame the loss on Gasol's late rebound. It was one of six he pulled down in the game and all six were on offense.
Utah had several other missed opportunities, but still was within one point in the final minutes.
``You watch the tape of the game, you wish you could jump in the screen and play it all over again,'' said Carlos Boozer, who had 18 points and 12 rebounds. ``I thought we had the opportunity to take the lead a few times, and looking back on it, it's definitely frustrating. You put the pressure on the home team if you get the lead.''
Boozer said he and guard Deron Williams watched video from the game on the flight home. As difficult as it was, he said the Jazz showed they could hang with the Lakers in Los Angeles and would be confident playing a Game 7 there.
Now, they just have to force one.
``We've got two left with them,'' Boozer said. ``We've got to win tomorrow night to have the second one.''
After making the Western Conference finals a year ago, the Jazz face getting knocked out one round earlier.
The Jazz are 1-1 when hosting a Game 6 and trailing 3-2 in the last 10 years. The victory came in the first round a year ago when the Jazz beat the Rockets in Utah, then won the seventh game on the road.
The loss isn't a pleasant memory.
It was the 1998 NBA finals, when the Jazz had won in Chicago to pull within 3-2, then lost the series at home when Michael Jordan hit a jumper from the top of the key in the final seconds.
Jordan was the MVP that season. Bryant was the MVP this year. The Jazz want the similarities to end there.
``I think it's exciting myself. I always have loved to be in those situations. If you like to play, what better position could you be in?'' Sloan said. ``They have to come and beat us, and we hope we don't beat ourselves.''
Sloan was coaching Utah in that series and could rely on veterans John Stockton and Karl Malone to counter Jordan and the Bulls. He has a considerably younger team this year, led by third-year point guard Williams.
Williams has been averaging nearly 23 points and 11 assists in this series. He scored 27 on Wednesday and had 10 assists.
The rest of the Jazz haven't been as consistent. Sloan said he was disappointed in some outside shots his players took quickly Wednesday night instead of setting up the offense and giving the inside players a chance at the rebound.
But he said overall, the Jazz's composure has improved each game.
``We're tough enough,'' Sloan said. ``I think we've grown a lot in that area.''
Utah forward Andrei Kirilenko missed practice Thursday to deal with visa details for a summer trip to France, according to agent Marc Fleisher. Fleisher said Kirilenko had to take care of the visa, which is required because he is a Russian citizen, on Thursday or wait another month.
The Jazz said that Kirilenko was expected to play Friday.

Cavs lose Gibson with shoulder injury
May 15, 2008
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) -Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson will miss Game 6 of Cleveland's playoff against the Boston Celtics after separating his left shoulder during the second half Wednesday night.
Gibson, one of the Cavs' best perimeter shooters, left early in the fourth quarter following a collision and did not return. The team estimated he would miss one to two weeks.
The Cavaliers trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven series and could be eliminated Friday night.
Gibson emerged as a star in Game 6 of last year's Eastern Conference finals against Detroit.

Friday's best NBA bets
Boston at Cleveland -3, 179
Like many great superstars, you knew it wasn't a question of whether Kevin Garnett would bust out again, but rather when he'd get back to form. It didn't take long.
After three subpar outings – by KG's standards anway – Garnett dropped 26 points, grabbed 16 boards, dished out four assists, and added three blocks for good measure in Boston's Game 5 win over Cleveland. Even more encouraging for Celtics bettors was that Paul Pierce chipped in with 29 points and Rajon Rondo added 20.
That said, it's obviously been all about home teams in these playoffs and the Cavaliers aren't backing down a bit. LeBron James had a big night with 35 points in the club's latest loss, but didn't get much help from the rest of Cleveland's cast and still managed to keep Game 5 close.
The Cavs will bounce back with a better effort tonight.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 16
(1) Boston (7-5, 5-7 ATS) at (4) Cleveland (6-5 SU, 8-3 ATS)
The defending Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers hope the home court continues to hold form in this series as they try to fend off elimination in Game 6 against the Celtics at Quicken Loans Arena.
Boston remained perfect at home in the playoffs Wednesday night by pulling away in the third quarter, then fending off a late Cleveland run for a 96-89 victory, but failing to cover as a nine-point chalk. The Celtics countered LeBron James' 35 points by getting 29 from Paul Pierce, 26 from Kevin Garnett, 20 from Rajon Rondo (who had 13 assists) and 11 from Ray Allen.
Boston has been struggling at the betting window lately, with a 4-7 ATS mark in its last 11 games – all in the playoffs. Cleveland, meanwhile, is 4-1 ATS in this playoff series and 5-1 ATS in its last six starts overall.
The Celtics lead the season series against the Cavs 5-4, but Cleveland is 7-2 ATS (5-1 ATS in the last six meetings). The home team is on a 10-0 SU tear (9-0 this season) but is just 5-5 ATS in that span. That said, the Cavaliers cashed in a pair of double-digit blowout wins over Boston in Games 3 and 4 and they're 6-2 ATS in the last eight matchups at the Q (3-1 ATS this season). Finally, the underdog is on an 8-3-1 ATS run in this rivalry.
Both teams have contributed to a staggering overall statistic in the second round of this year's playoffs: The home team is an eye-popping 20-1 SU and 16-4-1 ATS, with Detroit – which has already eliminated Orlando to advance to the Eastern Conference finals – the only team to post a road win.
Doc Rivers' Celtics are 0-5 SU and ATS on the highway in this year's playoffs and they carry a plethora of negative pointspread streaks into Game 6, including 1-7 in conference semifinal games, 1-5 against teams with a winning SU record, 1-4 on one day of rest, 1-4 as a playoff pup of less than five points, 1-4 after a SU win and 2-8 as a playoff underdog (0-2 this season). On the positive side: Boston is 19-7 in its last 26 games as an underdog, 40-16 in its last 56 as a road pup and 11-5 in its last 16 when catching less than five points.
The Cavaliers are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 after a spread-cover and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 contests at home against teams with a winning road mark. However, the pointspread trends turn positive from there, including 7-0 as a playoff chalk of less than five points, 6-1 as a playoff favorite of any price, 5-1 in conference semifinal games, 5-1 on one day of rest, 4-1 after a SU loss and 4-1 at home.
The over is 4-1 in Boston's five road playoff games this year, but after that, the under for the C's is on runs of 15-6 against the Central Division, 5-2 as a road 'dog and 7-3-1 when catching less than five points in the playoffs. For Cleveland, the under is on a bevy of streaks, including 12-5 overall, 19-7 at home, 14-4 with the Cavs a home chalk, 13-3 in conference semis, 13-5-1 after a SU loss and 12-5 on one day of rest. However, the over is 23-11-1 in the Cavs' last 35 games when giving less than five points.
Finally, the under is 3-2 in this playoff series (1-1 in Cleveland) and has cashed in four of the last six meetings going back to the regular season, though Wednesday's game hurdled the 176-point posted price.
ATS ADVANTAGE: CLEVELAND and UNDER
(1) L.A. Lakers (7-2, 6-2-1 ATS) at (4) Utah (6-5, 5-5-1 ATS)
Los Angeles, which again held serve at home in Game 5, will try to close out this series on the road in Game 6 at the EnergySolutions Arena, where Utah has posted an NBA-best 41-5 record this year.
The Lakers had all five of their starters score in double figures Wednesday night in holding off the Jazz 111-104, though they failed to cover as an 8½-point home chalk. Kobe Bryant's ailing back didn't prove too troublesome, as he finished with 26 points, and Lamar Odom had a double-double with 22 points and 11 boards to help offset 27 points and 10 assists from Utah point guard Deron Williams.
Los Angeles, which had won 10 straight games (9-0-1 ATS) before going to Utah for Games 3 and 4, is now just 0-2-1 ATS in the last three games. Meanwhile, despite cashing in its last two games, Utah is still just 3-5-1 ATS (4-5 SU) in its last nine starts.
Los Angeles is 6-3 SU (5-3-1 ATS) against Utah this season and 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 contests. The home team is on a 6-2-1 ATS run in this rivalry and is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 battles overall, with the winning team cashing in all but two of those 15 games. Finally, the Jazz are 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 clashes in Salt Lake City.
The Lakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six Friday contests, but the pointspread trends are nothing but positive from there, including 8-0-1 after a SU win, 7-1-1 as a road underdog, 4-1-1 on one day of rest, 6-2-1 in conference semifinal games, 21-8-2 as an underdog and 35-17-2 on the highway.
The Jazz also sport of bevy of positive ATS streaks, including 14-3-1 as a home chalk of less than five points, 6-0-1 as a playoff favorite of less than five points, 7-2-2 overall as a playoff favorite, 8-3 after a spread-cover, 38-13-2 as a home chalk of any price and 39-15-2 at EnergySolutions Arena.
Wednesday's clash just cleared the 212½-point posted price, pushing the over to 13-6 in the last 19 meetings in this rivalry. For Los Angeles, the over is 13-6 in its last 19 after a non-cover and 10-4 in its last 14 Friday matchups, and the over for Utah is on runs of 23-8 against the Pacific Division and 10-4 against winning teams. However, the under trends for both teams include 4-0 with L.A. catching points, 5-1 after a Lakers SU win, 4-1 on the road for L.A., 4-1 with the Jazz playing on one day of rest and 18-7 for Utah after a SU loss.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 16
Lakers at Jazz Game 6
By Brad Young
Los Angeles has a chance to close out this best-of-seven series at Utah, but home teams have won the first five meetings straight-up. In fact, the home team is also 3-1-1 against the spread in this Western Conference semifinal. Home teams continue to dominate this postseason, going 20-1 SU while favorites are cashing tickets at a 15-5-1 clip.
Only one game in this series has been decided by five points or less, and that was a five-point victory by Utah in Game 3. The next contest did go to overtime, but the Jazz eventually prevailed in that matchup by eight points.
Caesars Palace lists Utah as a 3 ½-point home 'chalk' over Los Angeles, with the total set at 213. The total has remained constant, while the line originally opened at four. ESPN will provide coverage of Friday's Game 6 beginning at 10:35 p.m. ET.
Los Angeles (64-27 SU, 53-36 ATS) took a 3-2 series lead with Wednesday's Game 5 victory as an 8½-point home favorite, 111-104. The combined 215 points eclipsed the 212 ½-point closing total, helping the 'over' improve to 3-1 the past four games.
The game was tied going into the fourth quarter, but the Lakers outscored the Jazz in the final stanza, 30-23. Utah actually won the rebounding battle, 44-34, but lost the game at the free-throw line. The Lakers shot 34-of-42 from the charity stripe, while the Jazz were 24-of-28.
All five Los Angeles starters reached double digits in scoring, led by Kobe Bryant's 26 points and seven assists. Forward Lamar Odom added 22 and 11 rebounds, while the bench provided just 13 points and six rebounds. The Lakers finished the game by shooting 47 percent (35-of-74) from the field.
Utah point guard Deron Williams led all scorers with 27 points and 10 assists, while forward Carlos Boozer added 18 and 12 rebounds. The Jazz shot 46 percent (37-of-81) from the field, and 35 percent (6-of-17) from behind the arc.
Los Angeles is 29-16 SU and 29-14 ATS on the road, with the 'under' going 25-19. The Lakers have been winning their home endeavors by an average score of 107-102.
Utah has been a classic Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde team all season, going 41-5 SU and 29-13 ATS at home while struggling to a 19-28 SU and 20-27 ATS road record. The Jazz have been winning their home games by an average score of 108-95.
Neither team is listing any players as 'doubtful,' 'questionable' or 'probable' for Game 6. Kobe did skip Thursday's practice to rest his aching back, and was limited to a playmaking role in Game 5's fourth quarter.

L.A. Lakers at Utah -4, 212
It's great to see Deron Williams stepping up for the Jazz - the silky smooth point guard has racked up 56 points and 24 assists over the last two games. Now if only he could get a little help, especially from Carlos Boozer inside.
Boozer basically won Game 3 for the Jazz and has been solid on the glass, but he hasn't cracked 20 points in any other game in the series and was just 6-for-16 from the floor in Game 5. It wouldn't hurt if Andrei Kirilenko did something either shy in the paint, too. Then again, those seem like the numbers we can expect from the big Russian at this point.. AK-47 hasn't done better than 15 points against the Lakers while being
One of those guys has to match Pau Gasol's output as the series shifts back to Utah.
Pick: Lakers

The Coryells had been living on San Juan Island, Wash. Aliisa Coryell is survived by her 84-year-old husband, son Mike of Los Gatos, daughter Mindy Lewis of San Diego and two granddaughters (Loni and Kelly) and a grandson (Cutter). No services are planned.

I deserve what I earn
About Me: I am very determined and hard working. I believe that I deserve what I earn, and that if I want something badly enough, I am the only person to stand in my way. I dont' give up, and I fight hard for what I believe in. I like to dance, but that doesn't mean that I am necessarily good at it. I also enjoy riding my bicycle. I have recently started painting as a hobby too. I love my job and so teaching is also a hobby of mine. I currently teach first grade and love it! I intend on going back to school in the fall to work on my master's degree. I am going to work on my masters in the field of educational neurosceince. Extremely excited about that. I will probably continue to teach, but may eventually graduate to being a professor or something like that. I am looking for a real man. Definition of a real man: knows what he wants in life and is working towards it, knows how to respect and take care of women, has a job and can provide for himself, is courteous to others and not just so that he can get something from them, shows respect, can accept responsibility for his own actions, takes care of himself, shows respect (did I mention that respect is pretty important to me?), and is a gentleman. I don't think that is too much to ask. I am very close with my family and have some amazing friends that are like family. That being said they will always come first, if that is a problem then probably you aren't for me. Other Amazing Stuff I have a dog. If she doesn't like you, we may have problems. I am currently the reigning champion of Candy Land in my first grade world. If it were possible I would become a professional beach bum - if such a profession were to exist. My favorite new word is quaff. I'm also a ninja, but I probably shouldn't have told you that. I am addicted to Zumba. I tried to quit once, but it has too strong of a hold on me. I am a Christian although I probably should attend church more. I consider myself to be open-minded - however I may not be the best judge of that. I love trying new things! I like to drink beer, but in moderation and only the good stuff. I've been called a beer snob before, and the was a proud moment for me. I think I am way more crafty than I really am, but I do love creating stuff. My favorite past time is napping. I love Texas summers. I rock out at karaoke. I don't embarrass too easily.

My favorite things are spending time with my family and friends, I don't really care where, as long as we are having a good time. I'm not too picky about other things. I will try anything once.
My free time is mostly spent with family and friends (I consider them to be the same). I enjoy movies, dancing, riding bikes, spending time at the pool or beach, cooking, teaching, trying new foods and beer, and reading.
I am currently reading The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey. Next on the list is The Princess of Burundi.

Brother MOJO,
Just a reminder. I know your schedule is tough to alter, but I will be visiting the site of my avatar Labor Day week (Saturday thru Saturday) and you and your clan are still welcome.
Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
Brother Morris,
This is an interesting thread and I?m anxious to hear the experiences from others.
While I don?t care to admit this but as a young wrestler our coach used to store the necessary materials in a well know location that would convert our shower into a sauna.
He?d leave saying anyone wanted to work extra to lose necessary weight could ?have at it.?
Also knew of a couple using speed in pill form to cut and suspected even before matches.
It doesnt rise to steroid use but it was cheating. I admit to using the former many times but never the latter.
Otherwise it was clean in my view. Rarely ever cheating like some sports.
We had a kid who took ex-lax to make weight. The captain of the team found out and we as a group of seniors made a decision to tell the coach after he was disciplined by the team. Needless to say the coach didn't let him wrestle.
I saw some cheating go on last weekend at an open H.S. tournament. A buddy of mine had a few kids from his team, one of which was going to wrestle. He was supposed to wrestle a kid who both of us knew. However, another kid, bigger and stronger, ended up on the mat. My buddy, recognized that it wasn't the right kid on the mat and said something. Later on, he asked the kid who was supposed to wrestle why he didn't come onto the mat first and he said "my coach told me I wasn't wrestling".
This guy tried to pull a fast one at a tournament that meant exactly nothing, not that it matters whether it was a big tournament or not.
He let himself down, for what...a woman. I say, go be a world champion let the women come to you......Tito Ortiz
When I wrestled in college, both teams would weigh-in at their own facility with only their own coach checking.
My coach never let us cheat and we trusted most of the other teams, but there was one team that was also suspected. Their guys always seemed big and they often had trouble making weight at conference when they had to do official weigh-ins.
I think wrestlers are like most humans, that they will be more tempted to cheat the easy it is to get away with and the more there is to gain. We know there have been a bunch of Olympic wrestlers caught doping who have been from other countries (Faruk Sahin is the only US wrestling that I am aware of).
Becasue most wrestlers are more obsessed with keepoing their weight down, I do not think steroid use is rampant, but it probably exists at the highest levels in the US and the rest of the world.
Regarding the preseason hydration tests, I'd venture to say that every team "cheats".
I would guess massive dehydration followed by pedolyte rehydration the night before certification. Do not know for sure if this works or is a myth but a high school team up here had almost all of their team fail the first cert and they supposedly did this routine and most passed 3 days later. No proof, just what the kids in this section said.

Key Netanyahu Funders Also Back Rick Perry
Florida's Falics have provided half of Bibi's donations
As we all know, it's primary season—and in Israel, too, where the Likud Party, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, is holding its leadership election on January 31. (The main opposition party, Kadima, will have its own ballot in March.) There, as here, waging an election battle takes money, and unsurprisingly, Netanyahu has managed to raise twice as much as his closest rival, Moshe Feiglin—the bulk of it, about $86,000, from a single family in Florida, the Falic clan, owners of the Duty Free Americas empire and supporters, in the Republican primaries, of Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The family has long given generously to American politicians—more than $900,000 over the last two cycles, according to OpenSecrets. As is relatively common for canny businesspeople, they give across partisan lines, supporting both national committees as well as individual candidates who are diametrically opposed to each other. This year, for example, Jerome Falic, CEO of Duty Free Americas, maxed out his giving to Rep. Eric Cantor, a Republican and the House Majority Leader, and to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the Democratic National Committee.
But when it comes to presidential politics, the family has consistently gone Republican. In 2007, several family members supported former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's primary bid, and then ponied up for Sen. John McCain in the general election. And, now, Perry. The erstwhile Texas governor raised $20,000 from two generations of the family last September, and, so far, remains the only presidential candidate to win their support. This despite the fact that he has not been considered a seriously competitive candidate since about October.
It's not clear that their enthusiasm has had any effect on Bibi's affections. Only a few days after their donations cleared Perry's accounts, Bibi went on CNN to criticize a member of his own party, Deputy Knesset Speaker Danny Danon, for appearing alongside Perry at a pro-Israel campaign event in New York. "When I get to the point that I can control Knesset, including in my own party, it'll be a good day," Netanyahu told Wolf Blitzer. His donors, though, not so much.

Flu Season's Last Sneeze?
By AP
There were no new flu deaths in Tulsa County last week. So far, this season, eight people have died from the flu in Tulsa County. That number is 48 statewide.
As the flu season winds down, health officials say it wasn't as bad as last year and the vaccine worked better. But younger adults were hit harder because of a surge of swine flu.
Overall, hospitalization rates for the flu are only about half what they were last winter. It has been a fairly mild season for the elderly — usually the most vulnerable group to flu and its complications.
But it's been a different story for younger adults. The government said Thursday that nearly two-thirds of the hospital stays this winter were in adults ages 18-64. Most flu seasons, it's only one-third.

With a potential Fed rate hike as a tailwind, the dollar rally looks set to resume and it could be powerful.» Read More
The 2015 budget includes short-term measures that will act together with monetary policy, along with long-term plans that will drive the economy, says Savanth Sebastian, equities economist at CommSec.
Apart from neglecting bigger challenges like innovation, the Abbott government has not lived up to its own rhetoric of bringing down the budget deficit, says Andrew Leigh, shadow assistant treasurer of Australia.
Australia's budget will be about propping up sub-par economic growth amid weak commodity prices rather than the traditional fiscal discipline, analysts say.
Phil O'Donaghoe, senior economist at Deutsche Bank, says the federal budget could see a deficit of 37 billion Australian dollars and expects Australia to only return to surplus in 2023 or 2024.
Asian stocks mostly advanced on Monday as China rolled out its third interest rate cut since November.
Asian shares traded mostly firmer on Friday on the back of a positive lead from Wall Street and bets that Beijing will roll out more easing measures.
Asian equities sold off on Wednesday, as weak corporate results in Sydney and an unimpressive U.S. lead took a toll on trading sentiment.
Khoon Goh, senior FX strategist at ANZ, explains why the jump in the Aussie currency following the Reserve Bank of Australia's statement on Tuesday will be short-lived.
Chinese shares plummeted on Tuesday, while their counterparts in Sydney witnessed volatile trade following the Reserve Bank of Australia's rate cut.
Paul Bloxham, chief economist for Australia & NZ at HSBC, says upbeat comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia means the central bank could keep rates on hold for the rest of 2015.
With markets already pricing in a rate cut, the Aussie dollar will only weaken slightly if the central bank lowers interest rates on Tuesday, says Felicity Emmett, head of Australian Economics at ANZ.
Lutfey Siddiqi, global head of Emerging Markets FX, Rates & Credit at UBS, says the Reserve Bank of Australia needs to lower interest rates by 25 basis points due to sub-trend economic growth.
Steven Ciobo, parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Trade and Investment and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia, outlines the opportunities Australia sees in Singapore and China.
Amid a weak domestic economy, the Reserve Bank of Australia has to "do its job" by cutting interest rates, says David Bassanese, chief economist of BetaShares Capital.
A rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia will serve as a prelude to growth forecast downgrades in Friday's quarterly statement, says Ben Jarman, senior economist at JP Morgan.
The Reserve Bank of Australia will likely cut rates this week amid economic headwinds and the Aussie dollar could see more volatility, says Tony Nash, vice president at Delta Economics.
The RBA's decision may come down to the wire at its policy meeting Tuesday, as economists eye a rate cut despite concerns over a strong currency and home prices.
Kumar Palghat, director at Kapstream, expects the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut rates at Tuesday's policy meeting even though easing measures are having a mixed impact on the economy.
Australia won't lose its coveted triple-A rating, its Treasurer said, slapping down speculation the country might face its first downgrade in 26 years.
With Australia's inflation and jobs data showing signs of improvements, markets are pricing in too much for a May rate cut, says Jesper Bargmann, head of Trading, Asia at Nordea Markets.

There is an option in a project's context menu (the menu that pops up
when you right click on a project name), about the middle (in the same
group as "Close"), that is either "Set as Main Project" or "Unset as
Main Project".
However, this option is not always in the menu. The case I have
noticed is that it is missing with a brand new install of NB. Once
you have selected a main project (using Run->Set Main Project) the
option appears and seems to behave for ever more. Smells like some
sort of initialisation problem...

- Fluid hips, smooth footwork when making transition from backpedal to frontpedal and vice versa.
- Fits the mold of prototypical 'new era' wave of taller cornerbacks. Can be defensive x-factor guarding against big-play tight ends. Chiseled physique; possesses long arms and flexibility.
- Versatile; has started at cornerback and safety. Experience with numerous quality coaches during his playing career at Florida and USC. Plays fast; shows catch-up speed. Good instincts.
- Gets tangled up in blocks, needs to get off faster and shed opponents quicker.
- When playing safety, needs to eliminate hesitation when called upon on an all out blitz.
- Doesn't seem afraid of contact but may shy away if given the opportunity. Sometimes tends to make a dive tackle rather than a contact tackle, which results in a missed tackle. Can be more physical all-around.
- Didn't participate in any of USC's 15 spring practices in 2014 as he was dealing with a stress fracture in his foot.
- Suffered a knee injury during his freshman season at Florida ending his season.
- Transfer from Florida. Due to poor health to his father and grandfather, he was allowed to transfer to USC and play immediately due to a hardship waiver. Appeared in 10 games for the Gators in 2011, making one start. For a more in-depth explanation you can read further, here.
- Was chosen to give a commencement speech.
- Has played for five different defensive coordinators and five different position coaches in five years.
"I've had great coaches over the course of my five years to really -- and I didn't really pick it up until my later years of college -- to really pick it up and, kind of, understand what's going on and to always answer the question myself as to why are they doing this or that? Always answer the question 'why?' Or when I line up what's the worst thing that can happen to me? As I'm watching right now, I'm just thinking, in this defense, what's the worst thing that can happen to us? So, you just got to know your weaknesses." –Josh Shaw

Syrian civil war foes meet for first time, focus on aid
Published on Jan 25, 2014 10:00 PM
GENEVA (REUTERS) - Syria's civil war foes held their first face-to-face meeting on Saturday at the start of talks to end nearly three years of conflict which has killed 130,000 people and destabilised the wider Middle East.
After a day of delay and fierce recrimination, government and opposition delegates faced each other across a negotiating table at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva in the presence of international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi.
The two delegations sat in silence for half an hour while Mr Brahimi set out his plans - an immediate focus on humanitarian aid which diplomats have described as a confidence-building measure, followed by political talks to resolve the conflict.
Opposition delegate Anas al-Abdah said the two sides - who entered and left the room through separate doors - would meet again later on Saturday at 4pm local time. The first item for discussion would be a deal for a short ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid into besieged rebel-held areas in Homs.

Pakistan is not meeting its commitments to root out anti-India terror emanating from its soil and the network of terrorist camps is intact in PoK, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said here on Thursday.
"There are attacks along the LoC and more attempts of infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir, but our armed forces are defeating them. Terror camps are still intact in PoK. Pakistan is not making efforts to root them out and meeting its commitments to root out anti-India terror from its soil," he said.
Mr. Antony, who was talking to reporters before leaving for India, said, the situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan was discussed in detail during his one-to-one parleys with Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov as it has a direct bearing on the security of the two countries.

Avery has 3-hour hearing with NHL commissioner
"He made all his points really clear. He is a good kid that made a mistake. It was the wrong forum, and he used the wrong words."
Avery was denied a chance by teammates to apologize to them, and his message of contrition on Wednesday was distributed by his California-based publicist and not by the Stars.
"I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary," Avery said. "I should not have made those comments, and I recognize that they were inappropriate.
"It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.
"I apologize for offending the great fans of the NHL, the commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars management and ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far."

|Toronto SS Jose Reyes out with sore knee
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 17 August 2013 13:19
Reyes was out of the lineup for Saturday night's game against Tampa Bay. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Reyes will also sit out Sunday's game with the Rays, but expects the leadoff hitter to return after an off-day Monday for a series with the New York Yankees that begins Tuesday.
``His knee is a little banged up,'' Gibbons said. ``It's something that just kind of flared up on him. Give him three days. We don't think it's any big deal.''
Reyes missed 66 games this season because of a left ankle injury. He is hitting .291.
Toronto is also minus infielder Munenori Kawasaki. He was put on the paternity list Friday for the birth of his son and Gibbons doesn't expect him back until Tuesday.

Discovery features inside story on manhunt, killing of Osama Bin Laden
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – It was shortly after midnight on May 2, 2011 when the search for the world's most hunted felon finally came to an end. OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH, the riveting inside story of one of the biggest and most arduous manhunts in history comes to Discovery Channel on Sunday, May 5 at 9:00 p.m. Based off award-winning author Mark Bowden's meticulously researched book – The Finish: The Killing of Osama bin Laden – that features an exclusive interview with President Barack Obama, rare access to the White House and first-hand reporting, OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH provides a gripping and comprehensive account of the step-by-step developments that led to finally tracking down the world's most wanted man. OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH encores on Saturday, May 11 at 11:00 a.m.
After masterminding the terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 September 2001, Osama bin Laden vanished. Over the course of the next decade, America discovered that its war with al-Qaeda – a scattered group of individuals who were almost impossible to track – required a more innovative approach. A one-hour special, OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH begins by looking at the tragic 2009 suicide bombing by a Jordanian triple agent which killed 10 people, including Jennifer Matthews, a mother of three and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative leading the hunt for Osama. With exceptional access to key military and agency sources, OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH takes you on the ground where the action unfolded and inside the rooms where high-level decisions were made.
Filmed on location in Jordan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH gives viewers a look at the top-secret strategies employed to complete the mission and President Obama's campaign promise – to get Osama. The special also sheds light on how intelligence agencies utilise special operations to gather information to find al-Qaeda and Taliban targets. After thousands of Special Forces missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, an opportunity to go after Osama had finally presented itself. In spring 2011, intelligence pointed to a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan; it was estimated that there was a 50/50 chance that Osama was there. Just how then did this daring operation get green-lit? What went on in President Obama's mind as he sat in the Oval Office debating how to proceed after the seven-year hunt reached its pinnacle? OSAMA BIN LADEN: THE FINISH is an extraordinary story of the largest, most expensive and most advanced manhunt in the history of the world. The trail which began with a single, false name ended years later, with Osama's burial out at sea.
David Keane of Wild Eyes Productions, Mark's cousin, worked closely with Mark's son, Aaron, and did most of the primary reporting for this special over an extensive course of trips through Afghanistan and Pakistan. Mark has been investigating evolving special operations capabilities for more than 15 years. As the author of Black Hawk Down, Guests of the Ayatollah, and Killing Pablo, he has reported more extensively on the evolution of America's military and Special Forces than any other journalist.

Mushrooming community of paragliders in areas like Marina Bay
Published on Mar 7, 2013 5:47 PM
If you have spotted some parachute-like wings dotting the skies above open fields in Woodlands, Tuas and Marina Bay, they likely belong to members of the seven-month-old Paragliders Association Singapore.
The association, started in August, aims to promote the aerial sport here and has already attracted 35 daredevils, ranging in age from 24 to 64.
But restrictions on aerial activities here means the paragliders only practise their skills on land. They take to the skies in overseas destinations such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Nepal, where paragliding is widely practised.
But that has not clipped the wings of a growing paragliding community here.
