Sacramento gets to keep Kings for now, but new building key
May 2, 2011, 12:52 PM EDT
Champaign corks should be popping. Horns should be honking in downtown as people in cars shout "here we stay." There should be spontaneous parties in the street. Bloggers should hug mainstream newspaper writers. The Kings are staying in Sacramento. That is fantastic news — this is a market that has proven it will wholeheartedly supported…
Durant thinks Zach Randolph is the best. Randolph agrees.
May 2, 2011, 11:09 AM EDT
There was a lot of Zach Randolph love after he tore up the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday just like he had done the San Antonio Spurs the weeks before. (Maybe that Duncan guy isn't so old…) Randolph was the expected monster inside, but he also was 5-of-8 from the midrange — he (and Marc Gasol)…
Brandon Roy wants to be a starter again for Portland
May 2, 2011, 10:19 AM EDT
There is no "Sixth Man of the Playoffs" award, but if there were Brandon Roy would be the frontrunner. He was a game changer for the Trail Blazers off the pine, especially in Game 4 when he had a quarter for the ages that pulled his struggling team up and evened the series (even if…
No news as deadline passes on Knicks Walsh, which is good actually
May 2, 2011, 9:47 AM EDT
From our "no news is good news" file… The deadline for Knicks owner James Dolan to pick up the option year on team president Donnie Walsh's contract came and went Saturday without a word out of Madison Square Garden. Which is actually a good thing, the New York Post says (and when was the last…
Video: LeBron dunk highlights how Heat beat Boston
May 2, 2011, 8:15 AM EDT
This was one of the highlight plays in Miami's win over Boston. But LeBron James ally-oop dunk was also a clever little play breaking down Boston's half court defense. What Boston does is overload the strong side — in this case when Dwyane Wade comes off Chris Bosh's high screen Rajon Rondo sticks with him,…
CSN Report: Kings to stay in Sacramento
May 2, 2011, 1:20 AM EDT
Monday both the NBA and the Maloof brothers will announced that the Kings will remain in Sacramento for another season, CSN California reports. A source close to the discussions tells Comcast SportsNet that the NBA has told the Maloofs to expect the Kings to stay in Sacramento next year. The NBA is expected to put…
Boston far from dead, but they better get well fast
May 2, 2011, 12:30 AM EDT
This series is far, far from over. Miami set the tone in Game 1. They got the big game they needed from Dwyane Wade, the Heat were more physical, the Heat bench stepped up and most surprisingly it was Boston players that lost their composure. (That said the second technical on Pierce was just bad…
Video: Doc Rivers says Heat defense was "chippy"
May 1, 2011, 9:41 PM EDT
And so the post-game working of the officials has begun. Below is the post game interview with Doc Rivers where he says the Heat defense was not physical, it was "chippy" and that Miami should have been called for a couple of technicals. Remember when it was the Celtics that were either chippy or physical…
Boston had no Shaq in Game 1, but will by Game 3
May 1, 2011, 9:00 PM EDT
There are a number a number of things Boston is going to have to change if they plan to win this series against the Heat. Game 1 went very poorly for Boston. Changes have to start with execution issues, particularly on the defensive end, but there is a laundry list. Something they could use is…
NBA Playoffs: Wade leads Heat to Game 1 victory
May 1, 2011, 8:24 PM EDT
The Miami Heat aren't the most complete team in the championship hunt. They don't have a reliable starting center or point guard. They don't have a deep rotation. They don't have a lot of guys who can create their own shots. However, the Heat do have a stingy defense, players who can make open shots,…
Paul Pierce ejected from Game 1
May 1, 2011, 7:15 PM EDT
There was a lot of bad blood between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat coming into the conference semifinals, and it's only going to get worse after Paul Pierce was ejected from Game 1 of the series. The Celtics' captain was thrown out of the game after being involved in two altercations that resulted…
Bulls Tom Thibodeau named Coach of the Year
May 1, 2011, 5:02 PM EDT
UPDATE 5:02 pm: It's official, Tom Thibodeau is your Coach of the Year. He will be honored before the Bulls game Monday night. As we said, this is well deserved. The Bulls had a roster with eight new players yet melded into a defensive power that finished with the best recoed in the NBA. Philadelphia's…
NBA Playoffs: The Grizzlies win Game 1
May 1, 2011, 4:29 PM EDT
The legend of the 2011 Memphis Grizzlies continues to grow. Days after shocking the Spurs at home in Game 1 of the first round, the 8-seeded Grizzlies started their conference semifinal series off on a high note by taking it to the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning by a final score of 114-101. Kevin Durant and…
Mavericks not getting Caron Butler back in Lakers series
May 1, 2011, 2:00 PM EDT
Caron Butler would be a big help against the Lakers, defending Kobe Bryant and providing some scoring from the wings. But the Dallas Mavericks are not going to have him. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle made it as clear as could be, as reported by ESPN. "He is not going to play in this series," Carlisle…

NBA Playoffs: Where is Memphis going to get its offense now?
May 1, 2011, 8:04 AM EDT
Memphis was impressive in knocking off the Spurs. Make no mistake, they found their mismatch and exploited it — they pounded the Spurs inside, which opened up chances elsewhere. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol were beasts the Spurs could not stop. Memphis, now meet Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka. Oklahoma City brings a serious front…
NBA Playoffs: Boston and Miami try to set tone in Game 1
May 1, 2011, 1:18 AM EDT
Often, the first game of an NBA playoff series can feel like the first round of an overhyped boxing match — a lot of dancing around, a lot of feeling each other out, a lot of jabs but no haymakers. Not Boston vs. Miami. Game 1 is going to set a tone in this series.…

Derrick Rose will be announced as the NBA's MVP in the coming weeks. We all know it. But it's not official yet. So it was a bit of a shock when Bulls guard C.J. Watson tweeted Friday: Congrats to drose on winning the MVP he's played unbelievable this season!!! now just need tibs to win…
What Heat-Celtics means to the Celtics
Apr 30, 2011, 7:19 PM EDT
"How dare they? I mean, really, how dare they?" That's the attitude the Boston Celtics have had about the Miami Heat since the introduction of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade with the smoke and the dancing and the pomp and the circumstance last July at AmericanAirlines Arena. Many neutral observers have taken up the Celtics as the…
Spurs loss may well be Antonio McDyess' last game ever

All season long, Antonio McDyess has been saying this will probably be his last season. He's had a 15-year NBA career and will turn 37 during next season and made it clear to the News-Express after the Spurs disappointing loss to the Grizzlies that he is ready to walk away.

I love this fragrance - since I first picked it up at an airport in 2000. The Cardamon is brilliant and its a lovely fresh smell that stays with you for many hours. I like to mix it with a bit of Jo Malones Pomegranate Noir. I made the mistake of getting In Red - awful; stuff. I went back to this one again very recently - unfortunately only limited availability in the UK.

PORTLAND - A new poll finds most drivers in Oregon ignore speed limit signs on the freeway.
Deputies agree drivers routinely see a 50 mile an hour speed limit sign and speed past it going at least 60 miles an hour.
And according to a new poll conducted by Seattle based Pemco insurance, Oregonians think they can go close to 10 miles per hour over the speed limit and avoid being pulled over.
Oregonians for whatever reason believe that the police will kind of wink and look the other way when you're driving faster than people in Washington believe, spokesman Jon Oserberg said.
The poll found in Oregon, two-thirds of registered drivers believe they can add a few miles per hour over the legal speed limit while driving on the interstates without being stopped.
More than half admitted they add as much as nine miles-per-hour above the speed limit.
In Washington, many said they only travel around four miles per hour over the legal speed limit.

Washington Nationals vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Play On: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 Runs
The Washington Nationals will be lead by starting pitcher Colin Balester. Colin Balester has been having pitching problems this season. In fact, Colin Balester has a 4.55 ERA on the season. We see Colin Balester pitching another bad game today.
The Milwaukee Brewers will be lead by starting pitcher CC Sabathia. CC Sabathia has been pitching very well since joining the Milwaukee Brewers. In fact, CC Sabathia is a Perfect 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA. We see CC Sabathia pitching another great game today.
The Washington Nationals are 19-38 in their last 57 road games, while the Milwaukee Brewers are 20-7 in their last 27 home games.
The Milwaukee Brewers are 9-4 in their last 13 meetings against the Washington Nationals (when playing in Milwaukee), and should be able to get another blowout win tonight!
Take the Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 Runs

NY Yankees +150 at LA ANGELS
Tonight I will give the underdog Yankees a shot against the Angels.
Los Angeles has pretty much sewn up the AL West division, so you can't fault them if they rest on their laurels just a little during the dog days of August.
The same cannot be said for the Yankees, as New York has played themselves into must win situations on a nightly basis with both the Red Sox, and Rays in front of them in the AL East.
Ian Kennedy rejoins the big club, and is in search of his first win this season. While the G-Man doesn't hold any illusions that Kennedy is going to throw a no-hitter, the Yanks should be able to get him some run support, as they just shelled Angels starter Jared Weaver the last time Weaver took the hill.
New York scored 6 runs on Weaver in 5 innings as the Yankees were able to salvage a 4-game split with the Halos after losing the first two games.
This time the Yanks strike first.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS

Take the Marlins as a road underdog against the Mets at Shea Stadium.
Florida continues to show it's in the National League East race and the Wild Card battle, for that matter or the long haul, as it just took two of three at first-place Philadelphia. Tonight, the Fish hand the ball to Ricky Nolasco, who just continues to pitch well and give the Marlins a chance to win something Florida has now done nine times in Nolasco's last 11 starts, with the right-hander tossing a quality start in all nine victories. Not only that, but Florida is 4-0 in Nolasco's last four starts on the road, 6-0 in his last six as an underdog and 3-0 in his last three against the Mets, including 2-0 this season (both 7-3 victories).
So why are Nolasco and the Marlins catching this kind of plus price? Because the Mets have been solid at home recently (12-3 last 15), and because starter Oliver Perez, prior to Sunday's 4-0 loss at Houston, had been dealing for New York. Also, The Mets are 3-0 against the Marlins with Perez on the hill this year. However, in the one start at Shea, the Marlins got to Perez for five runs in six innings, only to lose 7-6. Also, Perez's numbers at home (3-2, 3.99 ERA) are actually worse than Nolasco's on the road (6-2, 3.91 ERA).
In the end, I look at what Nolasco has done in just his last two outings 14 innings pitched, five runs and 11 hits allowed, no walks and 21 strikeouts in wins over the Rockies (5-3) and Mets (7-3) and I gotta take a shot with the road dog here.

Boston Red Sox at Chicago White Sox
The Red Sox have won the last seven meetings against the White Sox, and six of the last seven played in the Windy City.
Boston's Jon Lester (10-3, 3.14), is 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA in his last three starts. The Red Sox are 4-1 in the lefty's last 5 road starts. The White Sox are 1-5 in Buehrle's last 6 starts versus the Red Sox at home.
Chicago's Mark Buehrle (8-10, 4.07 ERA) is 1-2 with a 7.02 ERA in his last three starts, but is 5-1 with a 2.16 ERA in his last seven starts at U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox have lost four of Mark Buehrle last six starts.
Take the Red Sox to grab their fifth straight win in Chicago. Boston has crushed the White Sox in the last seven contests, outscoring them 75-17.
Boston Red Sox -110

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Play: Philadelphia Eagles
First Sharp money play of the preseason goes tonight as the Eagles have received all the early action here. Makes a ton of sense as the Eagles are really deep on the offensive line and head coach Andy Reid has reported that the first and second team will play the first 3 quarters against Pittsburgh here. While Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is saying the first team will get only a series or two with Roethlisberger limited to the first series only. I'll take my chances fading a Steelers team here that will be led by two inexperienced quarterbacks in Potts and Dixon in the second half.

Take MIL and run line today. WAS has been playing much better of lately but they still are one of the bottom 3 teams in the NL. Today for MIL Sabathia is taking the mound. He has pitched well since the beginning of JUNE. He won at Atlanta on Saturday, allowing two runs and striking out nine in 8 1-3 innings of a 4-2 victory. Including his interleague starts for the Indians, Sabathia is 17-6 with a 3.37 ERA against the NL, and 8-0 with a 2.10 ERA in his last 10 starts versus NL opponents. This trend should continue today take MIL and run line.

the ninth. That's why you're with us... Not to mention, we're 25-5 in our

is common sense people... The Rays are 10-0 in James Shields last
10 starts as a favorite, and 26-1 in their last 27 games as a favorite!
While the Mariners, to put it nicely... SUCK... and are 0-5 in Carlos Silva's
last 5 versus teams with a winning record, and they've lost 7 of Silva's last
8 home starts! There's nothing more to say about this matchup... One

Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
St. Louis + over Chicago
The Cardinals are an effective team against left-handed pitching with a .283 batting average in the last ten games and 20 wins against left-handed starters this season. The Cardinals own a stellar 31-25 road record this season and so far this season the series stands even at 3-3 between the Cubs and the Cardinals. Braden Looper has made three consecutive effective starts and he has allowed two or fewer runs in seven of his last ten starts. Looper actually owns better numbers away from home as the Cardinals are 7-3 behind him on the road and Looper allowed just two runs over seven innings against the Cubs earlier this season. The Cubs own an exceptional home record but they are just 6-5 in the last eleven home games and Ted Lilly has struggled at Wrigley Field. Lilly has a 4.94 ERA at home and the Cubs are just 3-3 in his last six starts, including a loss to the Cardinals. Watch out for St. Louis as a dangerous underdog Friday afternoon.

Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals
Prediction: Minnesota Twins
The Royals are one of the Twins favorite opponents. Minny has beaten their division rivals 7 of 9 this year, including 5 of 6 here in Kauffman Stadium. In their last visit here to Kansas City, the Twins pulled off a sweep winning all three games as underdogs. This time around they are favored and for good reason. A rested Twins team is a dangerous one as they?ve won 9 of 11 this season after getting the previous day off. KC is 3-12 at home after a loss by 4+ runs (lost BB games 8-2 to the Red Sox), 5-14 at home after scoring 2 runs or less and 16 games under .500 vs. right-handed starters. Take Minnesota.

On the other hand, the Yankees are 1-4 in Kennedy's five road starts, the most recent of which came way back in late May. Kennedy has a 7.48 ERA and 1.759 WHIP in those games. Consider LA

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES vs PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Play: PITTSBURGH STEELERS PK
The beauty of pre-season is we get to know ahead of time what the coaches game plans are. we have a general idea of substitutions and possible playing time by starters. We also get insight into habits and philosophies. Two opposites collide tonight. You'll find the at the more successful teams don't give much of an effort in pre-season. The Eagles have been one of the NFL's more successful regular season team to bet on over the last eight years, winning five division titles and going to the NFC Championship Game four times. Head coach Andy Reid hasn't had a single winning preseason ATS during that span. Philadelphia is 1-9 ATS Away 1st 2 weeks of preseason. Tomlinson is what you call a tone setter meaning he wants maximum effort all the time which translates into a win tonight for the Steelers against a Andy Reid led team who could care less about pre-season results.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS vs MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Play: MINNESOTA VIKINGS -3
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
St Louis at Chicago
Pick: Chicago -160
Like any good team the Cubs are prone to having a "hiccup" during the course of a 162-game season and they have experienced theirs. The Cubs went 15-18 for a stretch, but the before and after mark is an impressive 54-28. The home record during the little hiccup was just 7-6, and sandwiched around that is an impressive 36-10 mark. So when we see around 1.5-1 odds for them at home. The Cubbies have won nine of their last 11 and are back on track, so this game is chock full of value in our eyes. The Cubs bring Ted Lilly to the mound who got off to a horrendous start, but the Cubs have now been 13-5 in his last 18 starts including 8-1 in his last nine at home, and things look even better. Brandon Looper has made only two starts on the road against a team with a winning record and the Cards have dropped both games. We like the Cubs in this one at home.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Michael Cannon
Pittsburgh +160 at PHILADELPHIA
Take the Pirates as the big road dog tonight over the Phillies.
With Paul Maholm taking the mound, why not take a chance at this price?
Maholm has easily been the Pirates best starter this season. The left-hander is constantly giving the Bucs six or seven quality innings and his 3.95 ERA is something the Pirates only wish they could get from the rest of their staff.
Maholm is also 3-1 with a 4.67 ERA in four career games against Philadelphia.
Joe Blanton will start for the Phillies and it's not like this guy is a Cy Young candidate. The right-hander is just 6-12 on the year, although he's 1-0 with Philly.
Still, at this price I'll take my chances with Maholm and a Pirates offense that is still capable of putting up some runs despite the trades of Jason Bay and Xavier Nady.
Take the Pirates as the big road dog.
Philadelphia at PITTSBURGH -1
Let's make it an all-Pittsburgh free play night. Make those steel-town people proud.
Take the Steelers over the Eagles tonight.
This line has dropped from -3 down to -1 or a pick, depending on your book, so all the Steelers have to do is win and we basically cover.
Coach Mike Tomlin stated that there will be a lot of Rashard Mendenhall and Limus Sweed tonight, the Steelers top-two draft picks.
I can think of worse things than showcasing young, high draft picks in the exhibition season.
The Eagles basically know what they have on offense, so don't look for Donovan McNabb to play more than a series, and Brian Westbrook obviously won't be in the lineup at all.
The Steelers won't play quarterback Ben Roethlisberger much at all either, but with Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon following him in the rotation I'm not worried about the Steelers offense.
Take the Steelers as they grab the win and cover.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Drew Gordon
Florida +125 at NY METS
Needless to say, this is a critical series for both teams, but its the Marlins who are playing rock-solid baseball, taking 2 of 3 at the NL East-leading Phillies over the last 3 days! The Mets meanwhile, needed a walk-off homer from David Wright to beat a terrible San Diego club yesteday, and come into this game losers of 6 of their last 9 games.
The pitching match up is close, but you've got to give the edge to the Marlins surging ace Ricky Nolasco, who's coming off an excellent start against the Rockies, allowing 3 runs over 8 innings, while striking out 13 for the win. We should expect another solid start tonight for two reasons: A. Nolasco is 2-0 with a 2.43 ERA over his last 4 road starts. And B. He's won his last two games at Shea, posting a solid 3.60 ERA in the process.
Opposing Nolasco is the Mets Oliver Perez, who admittingly has pitched well of late. However, he's been up and down against the Marlins, pitching well in South Florida (2-0, allowing 1 run over 12 innings), but not so much at Shea, allowing 5 runs in 6 innings back on May 28th. Herein lies the problem for Perez, because the Marlins have hit lefties particulaly well over their last 10 games, batting .288 against them, with wins against lefties Hamels, Moyer (Marlin-Killer), De Los Santos, and De La Rosa over that span.
Bottom line, expect a close contest here, but in the end, its the Marlins who are playing better ball, have the better starter, and the better bullpen. So if it comes down to it (which I expect), you know the Mets are in trouble, with their 'pen posting a ridiculous 6.94 ERA over their last 10 games! Fish roll!
Take Florida behind Nolasco over the NY Mets and Perez in this MLB match up.
Seattle at MINNESOTA -3
Several reasons to like the Vikings here, but let's start with a much improved Minnesota team all around, playing in their home opener. Guys, we all know the expectations surrounding this Vikings team are sky high, and players and coaches alike will be fighting hard to get off on the right foot. While Seattle could really care less about this contest (as well they shouldn't), when all is said and done.
As with all preseason games, one has to consider the QB rotation, and the fact of the matter is that its the back end of the Vikings rotation what makes the difference. Both Hasselback and Wallace are well versed in their system and should be able to move the ball, and you can say the same about Jackson and Frerrote. However, its the Vikes Bollinger and rookie John David Booty who will shine against mostly 3rd stringers late in this contest.
Also, although this is an exhibition game, let's not forget the last time these two teams played, when the 'Hawks crushed the Vikings in Seattle 30-13. Of course, beating them in August means nothing, but after looking terrible top-to-bottom against this Seattle team in their last meeting, I expect a much more focused effort this time around.
Bottom line, motivation is a key factor in exhibition, because in a meaningless game, played by mostly no-names, the team who plays harder usually wins. In this case, the Vikings are in their home opener, with a big ol' spotlight on their starting QB Jackson and the rest of this Minnesota squad. While I expect the game will be close, in the end, the Vikings protect their house and grab the cash.
Take Minnesota over Seattle in this NFL Preseason match up.

Detroit Tigers -150
The Oakland As enter into this game against their hosts Detroit in a big time funk having lost 10 straight games. They are struggling so badly, that I doubt they can take advantage of the aging hurler Kenny Rogers (8-8, 4.98 ERA). The veteran of 19 years , has always pitched well against the As and in 36 starts in this series is 21-7, along with a 4.28 ERA, including a current 7-0 run in his L/9 starts again them. I expect more success is on the agenda for the southpaw against a Oakland team that has has lost seven consecutive series , and 17 of their L/19 tilts since the All-Star break.
Meanwhile, Dallas Braden (2-2, 5.10) fires back for the A's. Since being called up from the minors in July, Braden is 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA 5 outings including 3 starts. The lefty thrower has been bombed by the Tigers in the past , recording a 0-1 mark along with a 12.34 ERA in three starts . I expect the men from Motown to hammer him again in a contest that will be a one sided affair favoring the host team.
Final notes & Key Trends: Rogers team is 32-12 L/44 when he starts in night games.

1 Unit on Philadelphia Phillies -170
The juice is worth the squeeze in this case as the Phillies are deserving of big chalk against their inferior in-state rivals. Right away we see a big system in our favor: Plays against all underdogs with a money line of +100 or higher (PITTSBURGH) - after 4 straight games where they stranded 7 or less runners on base, with a struggling bullpen whose ERA is over 8.00 the last 5 games are 98-33 the last 5 seasons. I expect a potent Phillies lineup to murder the Pittsburgh pen in this one. Pittsburgh is also just 12-45 against the money line in road games vs. teams outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more runs/game on the season over the last 3 seasons. We'll take Philly here.

AT THE start of this month, Wikipedia announced the creation of the millionth article in its English language edition (http://en. wikipedia.org). So far, so impressive.
But remember that Wikipedia, which launched in January 2001, isn't just the trusted Encyclopedia Britannica recycled on the Internet. It is created entirely by online volunteers who contribute, update and revise articles in an ongoing collaborative process.
This editorial method is innovative and controversial praised by some for harnessing the community nature of the Internet; condemned by others for allowing false facts to be posted as true.
As U.K.-based Wikipedia editor David Gerard admits, no one claims it is devoid of errors. "Wikipedia is not perfect. Don't expect it to be perfect. Treat it like anything else on the web."
If you want to get the hang of something in 60 seconds, Wikipedia is perfect. If you want a quick introduction to some historical, technical or scientific jargon in the minutes before a business meeting, the site should meet your needs.
But to make your online search for knowledge as error-free as possible, the website has also recently changed its editing policy: Wikipedia now prevents unregistered users from creating entries and bars newly registered users from editing high-profile material.
Mr. Gerard also recommends navigating the site as a dynamic tool, rather than a static web page. For example, check the history of an article's revisions (click "history" at the top of the page) and see if the edits are as up-to-date as you would like.

Fateh Maidan Indoor Stadium, which produced big names in Indian badminton including former All-England champion Pullela Gopi Chand, 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist Saina Nehwal, India's best shuttler in men's category Parupalli Kashyap and many others, now presents a sorry sight if the dwindling number of trainees is any indication.
And, at 69 Dronacharya S. M. Arif, who is into his 34th year of coaching, is left wondering on a Monday morning whether the golden days of badminton at this famed indoor stadium are a thing of the past. Visibly peeved at the transfer of his trusted deputy Goverdhan Reddy to Saroornagar Indoor Stadium, Mr. Arif attributes the poor response of trainees to a variety of factors. The numbers have dipped from a healthy 100-odd to about 40 which includes seniors and internationals like Gutta Jwala, Prajakta Sawant and Chetan Anand.
Costly affair
Firstly, each trainee is paying a monthly fee ranging between Rs. 700 and Rs. 1,000 to the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP). They are also forced to buy 100 barrels of shuttles (each barrel comprising 12 shuttles) every month for which the players contribute money. The cost of equipment too has gone up over the years. A quality racket now costs nothing less than Rs. 14,000 and one needs to spend quite a bit on badminton shoes and apparel too.
Mr. Arif also faces the peculiar problem of young talent, whom he diligently grooms over three to four years, migrating to a high-profile academy in the city. "It definitely hurts when a trainee leaves you. But what is more distressing is the fact that many of my trainees are forced to leave for the fear of not getting the desired treatment and exposure in major events," he says.
Then what is the solution? "What can I do? I love to keep doing what I enjoy the most -- coach whoever is willing to learn," he says with a wry smile.
With regard to Mr. Goverdhan Reddy, who SAAP officials insist was transferred after allegations were made against him about misappropriation of money collected as fee from trainees under the pay-and-play scheme; Mr. Arif dismisses it as a blatant lie and an excuse to kill badminton in this centre. "Every pie is accounted for and there is no way anyone could have resorted to malpractice," he says. "Yes, there were complaints that he used to conduct training sessions on holidays too. If this is a crime, especially when players themselves are willing to come, then only God can save us," says the veteran coach.
Clearly, a combination of factors is posing a serious threat to the very existence of the once hallowed venue of badminton in the city.

Personal Computer - Apple Macintosh Plus, 1986 Reg. No: HT 13416
- Summary:
- Mac Plus with keyboard, mouse and carry bag, introduced in January 1986 and discontinued in October 1990.
The donor says that the MacPlus was one of the first computers that with an Apple ImageWriter, allowed the printing of both text and graphic images at an (almost) affordable price.
He claims that, unlike earlier Macs, it had sufficient power and memory to get things done 'out of the box'. He says that the first one to which he got access he used to make custom wrapping paper and cards for Christmas that year. He unashamedly says that they were horrid, because at that time (1986) no-one had seen anything like them.
The donor also says that soon after the MacPlus came out, Apple also launched the first 'Consumer Grade' laser printer (Apple LaserWriter), and suddenly printing was were not limited to dot-matrix printing, but became possible at an incredible 300 dots-per-inch. Aldus PageMaker was also released in conjunction with these products and the era of 'Desktop Publishing' had begun. According to the donor, anyone with a MacPlus and a LaserWriter (costing under AUD$20,000) could be a publisher (previous laser printers cost in the vicinity of AUD$50,000+ just for the printer). The donor says that literally thousands of publishers set themselves up, as they did, in almost every city and town around Australia. Many went out of business - they really were people with more money than design skills.
The MacPlus looks like the original Mac. Although it featured the same 8MHz Motorola 68000 processor, it represented a significant advance. RAM was increased to 1MB and could be easily expanded to 4MB, disk drive capacity was doubled to 800k and a SCSI (small computer systems interface, pronounced 'scuzzy') connector on the back enabled easy high speed connection to up to seven peripheral devices, which could include a hard disk drive. The Macintosh Plus was networkable over a LocalTalk network using the AppleTalk protocol.
Carry bags were available, which made the Macintosh easily portable; a desktop computer could be carried by hand. The carry bag is indicative of Apple Computer's intention that this computer should be portable and easily transported. The innovation of Apple Computers was to supply the bag as an optional accessory. Later, third parties manufactured carry bags.
This item is part of a representative collection of hardware, software, trade literature and promotional material that documents the history of the Apple company, and its contribution to, and impact on the computer industry and society.

'Manmohan Singh has undermined the nation by offering his post to Rahul Gandhi'
HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam party president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, has undermined the nation by stating that he would vacate his seat, if AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi showed interest.
Addressing a press conference, Mr. Naidu said Dr. Singh should not forget that it was democracy and he was expected to provide leadership and a sense of direction to the nation. He did not show any of these qualities in his second term. In fact the UPA government has no significant achievement to celebrate its completion of a year.
He said it was an unimpressive phase with the Prime Minister unable to assert himself and depending too much on the AICC president, Sonia Gandhi, as revealed by the opinion poll. It was not Dr. Singh but Ms. Gandhi who was running the government. He belied the expectations of people who thought an economist would do a better job than a politician.
Far from any achievement, the UPA government indulged in blackmailing the Opposition by misusing the CBI, he said. Its second term was full of scandals like that of IPL and corruption as symbolised by the 2G spectrum auctions. Yet there was no action against anyone. It miserably failed to check the price rise while resorting to hike in price of fuel indiscriminately during the last six years. On Prime Minister's comment that there are no proposal for any State, Mr. Naidu said it was for the Centre to clarify.
The functioning of the State governments too left much to be desired and the best example was the one headed by K. Rosaiah in Andhra Pradesh, he said. People were wondering if there was a Government at all. Farmers who were affected by floods and drought were left to fend for themselves. There was no remunerative price for paddy, subabul and tobacco.
He said the Mahanadu was being held at Telugu Vijayam, as the place had a lot of sentimental attachment to several party leaders. It was there that they started their political career and many of them wanted to relive those memories.

After reading mixed reviews from pediatric experts regarding sippy cups (with spouts), we've decided to skip them altogether and transition our 7.5 month-old LO directly to a straw cup. Initially, we tried the Playtex Lil Gripper Trainer Straw Cup (for 4+ months), because you can supposedly squeeze the cup to get water to flow up the straw into baby's mouth to encourage her to suck on the straw. But in reality, that cup was completely impossible to squeeze since it's made entirely of hard (BPA-free) plastic.
So now we're back to square one. Whenever I put the tip of the straw in my baby girl's mouth, she just plays with it with her tongue, like she doesn't know what to do with it. I've tried holding a straw half-filled with water over her mouth with my finger over the other end of the straw, and letting water flow slowly into her mouth to coax her to suck. But so far, no luck. A couple of times, she got frustrated and started fussing at the straw cup, and I ended up having to give her a sip or two of water from a small, open-face cup just to calm her down. But I'd prefer her to use the straw cup so she can drink water on her own rather than having me offer her sips from a regular cup. Plus, per our pediatrician, it's an important motor skill for baby to learn. And besides, using an open-face cup is a messy experience, since water always dribbles out of my LO's mouth and down her chin & neck, leaving her chest soaked! I figure that won't happen (as much) if she's sipping just as much as she needs on her own instead of me trying to guess how much water is a comfortable "mouthful" for her. Incidentally, breastmilk is still my LO's #1 beverage of choice, so I'm only planning on offering her very small amounts of water (1 oz. max) once or twice a day with her solids.
Have any of you had any luck so far teaching your LOs to drink from a straw cup? And if so, how did you do it? Any tips for this FTM?
Thanks a million!

IBF, WBO and IBO World Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko defends his titles against Samuel Peter at Commerzbank-Arena Frankfurt, Germany on September 11.
Samuel Peter is 29 years old and #2 ranked in the IBF. After the IBF disqualified Alexander Povetkin for not following its rules, Peter is now the mandatory challenger of Klitschko.
In 2005, Klitschko and Peter met in a dramatic fight in Atlantic City, USA. Klitschko was down three times during the fight but came back strong and nearly knocked out Peter in the 12th round. Klitschko won the fight by unanimous decision.
Wladimir Klitschko: Peter was one of the toughest fights of my career, he is an extremely hard puncher and has improved a lot in his last fights. I know what to expect on September 11 and I will be well prepared..
Samuel Peter: I had to wait a long time for the rematch. Now I will finish what I missed five years ago. This time I am going straight in and take him out. Its not going to last real long.
Bernd Bönte, Managing Director of Klitschko Management Group (KMG): Klitschko vs. Peter five years ago was one of the most exciting bouts in the last decade. Boxing fans have wanted to see this rematch ever since. We are grateful that we now have an even better and stronger opponent for Wladimir than Povetkin.
Samuel The Nigerian Nightmare Peter lives in Las Vegas, NV and is currently training in Big Bear, CA with experienced trainer Abel Sanchez. His fight record is 34 fights (27 KOs) with only three losses. Peter was WBC World Heavyweight Champion 2006-2008 before he lost against Vitali Klitschko. In the last 12 months Peter won four fights by KO, his last bout was for the IBF title eliminator against Nagy Aguilera.
Klitschko s record is 54 wins (48 KOs) with three losses. It is his 18th championship fight and he is the longest reigning IBF Champion.
In Germany, the fight will be broadcasted live and exclusively on RTL:

Hi guys
I am looking for a WP theme which I can use for a company intranet where all members of staff can post to a sort of timeline (twitteresque) and then other staff members can register, login and can comment.
I have looked at buddypress but I think this is too much functionality for what is required, would like the design to be quite minimal so I can brand it to company guidelines.
Is there a theme out there like this on TF?
I suggest you install WordPress and then Install BuddyPress Plugin. Both are free.
And if you want a theme, You can search ThemeForest for BuddyPress themes.
Thanks, I have searched for this but they seem a bit too feature heavy for our needs. We just literally want, how can I explain it, an internal company twitter and not the whole feature list?
Theme's here usually have all major features in their package. What you're looking for needs to be custom created. Themeforest does not allow main features (in your case trash) to be excluded from their themes. If you're interested in getting it custom created, i can help. My skype – jdsans
Hmm, I see. Well if you want, you can contact me at email@example.com . I would develop a basic twitter type site for you.

About sevki
When you stop doing things for fun, you might as well be dead.
The moment you stop taking on challanges is when your life is over.
Hello everyone!
I'm 25. I graduated from college in June of 2012, and right after that I completed my conscription, aka, compulsory military service. Now I'm an Assistant Inspector in a private Turkish bank, so I'm from Turkey of course. Watching anime is one of things I like to do, and as the time passes and the things that I watch increase, my delight about the anime types is getting more determined and consistent.
I LOVE reading books, especially detective, adventure and fiction novels. Reading manga is wonderful as well. Right now I am both reading the mangas with incomplete anime adaptations - which are somehow long - and also other mangas I love, like Pluto. In terms of half adaptations, so far I've caught up with Pandora Hearts, Claymore, D.Gray-Man and Gin no Saji. Yet, Ippo has more than 1,000 chapters, for instance. So I still have a long way to go! A long enjoyable way :) I like to have the releases of mangas, and I am willing to expand my collection.
My #1 ve #2 favourites are Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Death Note. Those -for sure- will never change in their respective numbers unless I discover a top masterpiece.
Bakuman is my #3 favourite. When I first noticed that it is Death Note mangakas' new serialization, I was just "O_O"! And I found more than what I expected. Those mangakas are really something. For the time being, I am reading the manga as well. I have also read Death Note, which has been translated into Turkish. It is enjoyable to re-experience everything, especially if you put some time gap between the anime watching and manga reading times. Yet, Bakuman is not translated into TR, so I have purchased the English releases of VIZ Media, all 20 volumes; it is nice to have a multi-lingual manga collection. :)
Apart from the anime and manga I put under My Favourites part, there are some others I really appreciate, and enjoy a lot. Those come this way:
Tengen Toppa Gurenn Lagann
Rurouni Kenshin
Pandora Hearts
Natsume Yuujinchou
20th Century Boys
Gin no Saji
Great Teacher Onizuka
Yu Yu Hakusho
And lastly, I can be really merciless and badass-like towards the characters I hate, as if they were real people, not fiction. Check my list.
Stay tuned people.
*1st anime: Pokémon
*150th anime: Mawaru Penguindrum!
*10th manga: Death Note
*175th anime: Mushishi
*15th manga: Pluto
*20th manga: Bakuman.
200th anime: Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu
1- Arlong - One Piece = Just your racism and other things about your so-called superiority are enough to make a person hate you; but the things you did to Nami... And even after 8 years of her spending that much effort for the sake of her village, you try to cheat... I'm really sorry they did not KILL YOU!
2- Obito Uchiha - Naruto = I literally HATE your misarable reasoning. That empty heart of yours... You just deserved it. Have I never seen in my whole life a more nonsense excuse to start a war. It is your own condition of feeling lowly. Just get the fuck off. Pathetic.
3- Usopp - One Piece = No need for any explanation, but you are fucking irritating!!! Just run, just do stupid stuff, etc. You worthless piece of SHIT! Hope you will SUFFER & DIE IN PAIN!
4- Morimi Saki - Higashi no Eden = Maybe the most idiot character a person could ever see in a lifetime.
5- Mayuri "Mayushii" Shiina - Steins;Gate = SHINE SHINE SHINE SHINE SHINE BAKAAAAA!
6- Nana "Hachi, Hachiko" Komatsu - Nana = You. Are. Just. A. Damn. Loser. You do not even know what you want from life. You don't even know who you love. Pitiful... Die bitch.
7&8- Sawako "Sadako" Kuronuma & Shouta Kazehaya - Kimi Ni Todoke = BURN IN HELL YOU MORONS! WHY DID I WATCH A SHOUJO IN THE FIRST PLACE? AND SUCH A STUPID AND IMMATURE ONE?!
9- Fuko "Fu-chan" Ibuki - Clannad = You are not cute. You are not adorable. You are just an irritating little brat. I am happy you have suffered a lot. HA HA HA! DIE YOU MORON DIE!
Fuck all of you damn characters. Especially unnecessary big-eyed shoujo anime girls! I. HATE. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. YOU.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Bobcats agreed on Thursday to a three-year, $40.5 million contract with free agent center Al Jefferson from the Utah Jazz, said people familiar with the situation.
Jefferson will make $13.5 million in each year of the deal, with the third season being a player option.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't become official. The contract cannot be signed until July 10 when the NBA's moratorium on signing new deals is lifted.
Jefferson, 28, gives the Bobcats a much-needed scoring threat in the low post, where they struggled last season. He should also help on the boards, where the Bobcats were repeatedly outrebounded the last two seasons.
The 6-foot-10, 289-pound Jefferson has averaged 18.8 points and 10 rebounds per game over the last seven seasons. Last season, his third with the Jazz, he averaged 17.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
The Boston Celtics selected Jefferson out of high school in Mississippi with the No. 15 pick in the 2004 draft. During a nine-year NBA career, Jefferson also played two seasons for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He has career averages of 16.4 points, 9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
Jefferson was among four high-profile free agents who played last season with the Jazz, along with Paul Millsap, Mo Williams and Randy Foye. Utah went 43-39 and missed the playoffs for the second time in three years.
Acquired by the Jazz in a July 2010 trade, Jefferson earned $15 million last season and led the team in both scoring and rebounding.
Jefferson becomes the best low post scoring threat the Bobcats have had in nine years in the NBA.
Last year, the Bobcats started a combination of Brendan Haywood, Byron Mullens, Bismack Biyombo and Josh McRoberts at center. Gana Diop, their other big man, rarely played.
Elsewhere, people familiar with the trade say Sacramento, New Orleans and Portland have agreed to a three-team deal sending guard Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans, center Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers and guard Greivis Vasquez to the Kings.
The people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because NBA rules prevent confirmation of trades until July 10, say Portland is sending second-round draft pick Jeff Withey to New Orleans and a future draft pick to Sacramento as part of the deal, which was first reported by ESPN.
Evans, a former Rookie of the Year and restricted free agent, averaged 15.2 points with the Kings last season, his fourth. The 7-foot Lopez averaged 11.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Vasquez averaged 13.9 points and nine assists.
In Atlanta, a person with knowledge of the deal says the Atlanta Hawks have reached an agreement to re-sign guard-forward Kyle Korver to a multiyear deal.
Korver averaged 10.9 points per game and ranked second in the NBA by making 45.7 percent of his 3-point shots. Korver also had reported interest from Brooklyn, Milwaukee and San Antonio.
Cleveland has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with former Lakers forward Earl Clark.
Clark, who spent two days visiting with the Cavs earlier this week, is getting a deal worth $9 million, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because NBA teams can't officially sign players until the free agent period ends on July 10.

Greg Mumm, the executive director of Blue Ribbon Coalition visited with us for over two hours last night. Good stuff with lots of input from the guests and honest answers from Greg.
Here is one way to reach him:
It would be best if you are a BRC member if you are asking for his help.
the Tide Tour 2012
BRC is very aware of the Canyonlands deal and is hearing about it all over the country. He knew how the businesses were basically lied to when the pertition was going around that they signed. He said that already five of them are backing down (Red Wing was mentioned). He also stated that certainly a letter or phone call to the companies needs to happen from every member!!
He thinks it is a publicity stunt by the Sierra Club and that Obama has bigger things going on and has not even heard of this. But........guys like Salazar who do have Obamas ear might try to run with this. So that is where the letters and focus need to be at the national level. I asked him what BRC was doing at the Moab/Hanksville/Green River level and he didn't seem to indicate that they were doing much at that level but said that all OHV advocates should contact those people and even the county commisioners of all the possibly affected communities.
There were 4WD people, quad riders, and M/C people in the crowd and everyone was very tuned in to the problems. Some had solutions, some had ideas, and some were very pessimistic about what is going on everywhere.
Some states back east have completely banned OHV traffic on anything but roads so there is certainly a downside to what we are currently seeing in the west.
Greg said our best bet is to write letters, to join and donate to at least one local group, one state group and one national group. I think that is a good and reasonable approach and I will make it my effort to do these things.

The highlight of day 2 of the the conference that I'm attending at Stanford University doesn't seem to fit with the theme, Medicine 2.0. The most interesting speaker is a professor of marketing at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. A social psychologist as well as a marketer, Jennifer Aaker is a Ph.D., not an M.D. She researchers time, money, and happiness, not medicine.
Jennifer Aaker
But Professor Aaker captured the most attention of the audience. I know because I watched the Twitter feed.
We are a wired, high-tech, social media-savvy bunch. Medicine 2.0 is an annual conference on using social media in medicine focusing on cutting edge technology. All of the 450 of us here at Stanford today followed along all the talks on Twitter and tweeted constantly.

One of the most serious driving offenses is drunk driving, called DWI or driving while intoxicated in Texas. As a former Assistant District Attorney, I know how strongly prosecutors pursue DWI charges against drivers. I have handled hundreds of DWI cases with a strong record of success, and I am prepared to help you fight your drunk driving charge and minimize your penalties.
I handle a wide range of DWI matters and related issues, including:
- Driving under the influence of drugs
- Breath and blood tests
- Field sobriety tests
- Motions to suppress evidence
- Plea negotiations
- DWI trials
As one of about 200 people in the country certified in gas chromatography, or the scientific analysis of blood test results, I have virtually unmatched insight into DWI test results and the science behind your case. I use this knowledge to pick apart the prosecution's arguments and help you get a better outcome.
Please see my DWI FAQ page for answers to some common questions I hear as a DWI lawyer in Texas.
Contact Me For A Free Consultation
At Brent Delapaz Law Office, I offer experienced DWI defense to people in San Antonio, Bexar County and other communities in South Texas, including:
Please contact me at 210-465-1383 or 800-338-9447 toll free to learn more and arrange a consultation.

I was looking for a small-medium sized pack. i currently have the north face recon and it's simply too big as a school backpack and a pack for skiing. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this product to anyone who wants a small extremely durable pack. The shoulder straps are very cushioned and everything feels durable, yet very plush and comfortable. The padding on the back provides a very comfortable feeling regardless of what is inside the pack. As soon as i open this product, i was blow away by the quality! THis is the perfect size for a nice hike yet is not too big. You can't go wrong with this bag!

This bug is probably due to you having increased your skills since the last time you beamed down to a planet. It happens to my BOffs' space skills too. Or at least it used to. Just be aware of that fact - whenever you spend skill points on one of your ground abilities, you may have to re-equip your tool bar when you start the mission. Luckily the game always seems to start you in a reasonably safe area so just get into the habit of checking your toolbar before you set off until they fix the bug. Consider it like an equipment check after beaming down - making sure all your kit was successfully transported!

Big Chill leaves foe out in cold
S'chargers rout Gems, tie for lead
Big Chill relied on its superb offense to whip Cebuana Lhuillier, 81-61, last night and tie idle defending champion NLEX for the lead with its third straight win in the PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Mark Canlas paced five Superchargers who finished in double figures with 18 points, including five that gave Big Chill the lead for good at 39-23 late in the second quarter.
Arvie Bringas added 17 points on top of 11 rebounds for the Superchargers, who shot 50 percent from the field (17 of 34) in the first half and 45 percent for the game in slapping a second loss in three games on the Gems.
Earlier, Cafe France also flashed sustained firepower in thrashing Erase Xfoliant, 73-58, for its second victory.
Roger Pogoy scattered 18 points, Mike Parala drilled in 12, Jens Knuttel added 11, while John Jamon and Alvin Padilla contributed 10 each for the Bakers.
Cafe France also showed better teamwork with 24 assists and outhustled Erase Xfoliant off the boards, 52-45.
Coach Egay Macaraya hoped that with the victory, Cafe France would earn the respect they deserve in the league.
"I thought Erase (Xfoliant) treated us lightly, and somehow that gave the players some confidence," said Macaraya, who is handling a team made up mostly of rookies. "Hopefully, we could keep this going."
Café France actually had a lethargic opening quarter and trailed by as many as 10 points before Pogoy hit his stride and the Bakers outscored the Erasers, 27-8, in the second quarter to post a 40-29 lead at halftime.
The scores:
First Game
CAFE FRANCE 73—Pogoy 18, Parala 12, Knuttel 11, Jamon 10, Padilla 10, Alas 4, Magbitang 3, Magat 3, Mendoza 2, Batino 0, Jeruta 0, Garcia 0, Antipuesto 0.
ERASE XFOLIANT 58—Vidal 11, Allen 10, Matute 9, Mendiza 8, Banal 6, Gomez 5, Acosta 5, Alano 4, Arboleda 0, Thompson 0, Vijandre 0, Cornejo 0, Stevens 0.
Quarters: 13-21, 40-29, 53-47, 73-58
Second Game
BIG CHILL 81—Canlas 18, Bringas 17, Montilla 15, Romeo 11, Lozada 7, Montecastro 6, Villahermosa 3, Buenafe 2, Canta 0, Cortes 0, Semira 0, Collado 0.
CEBUANA LHUILLIER 61—Zamar 20, Dizon 16, Buensuceso 7, Bautista 6, Rowe 4, Sarangay 4, Mangahas 2, Aguilar 1, Leynes 1, Banal 0, Daroya 0, Custodio 0, Suguitan 0, Mabayo 0.
Quarters: 16-10, 41-28, 59-45, 81-61

Who knows where this thug-crooner marriage really comes from. Times critic Kelefa Sanneh has theorized that some of it marks a blurring of lines, as a new generation switches between singing and rapping without much thought (Ja Rule and Nelly stand as examples). I see the trend more bluntlyto me, it's pure greed. The Internet boom taught us that an ungodly pile of money can turn anything into cross-marketing. So hey, let's put Gwen Stefani in the studio with Eve, or Ja Rule with J.Lo, and see what happens. Two stars are better than one.
No matter how crass the new barrage of hits might be, this is the world we now live in. And these modern-day duets are certainly more fun than the Jennifer Warnes or Peabo Bryson collaborations of the '80s, when singers overwhelmed each other with the universe's corniest lines about the times of their lives. These days, two wildly varying points of view converge, one hardcore and the other either less or more hardcore. Which, depending on the performers, makes for hilarious, delicious, or disturbing results.
Jay-Z and R. Kelly attain the latter on The Best of Both Worlds, an entire album's worth of thugcroonerness. The idea of the most cocksure performers in rap and r&b joining forces with production team Trackmasters is appealing, but instead of making party anthems, Jay-Z and R. Kelly descend into gross swill about their ability to sexually dominate womenand, in Kelly's case, lesser male singers. The album is Kelly's excuse to prove he's not your average slow-jamming pussy (Sisqó is his target of choice), which Jay-Z, at his crudest since 1999's Vol. 3 . . . Life and Times of S. Carter, enables with lines about kicking bitches out of bed to make grilled cheese sandwiches and tying them up to make "gangsta love," because after all, he "ain't no r&b dude." Neither is Kelly, supposedly, and therein lies the album's problemtoo much creepy fucking and not enough sweet loving. It also doesn't help that Kelly sings lines about how"everybody ain't as horny as me" just as the cops are investigating allegations he videotaped himself having sex with minors. Nice timing, fellas.
The rest of summer's thug-crooner fare put its own spin on romance and desire. Mostly, the women play innocent, while the guys remain shameless scumbags. Ashanti, on top of the mountain, sounds downright pristine. In her piano-tinkling "What's Luv?," Fat Joe gets all the dirtiest lines. The hottie can have the "it's about us/it's about trust, baby" part and the slightly more risky "I'm on it like that . . . put it on me" part; her bubbly voice and personality make Joe's desire for a "chick with dick hips" who doesn't mind "a little ménage" behind her man's back passable for radio ears. You get the impression Ashanti has no clue what she's dealing with. So she comes off as a misogynist's dream, and the song comes off unintentionally funny.
On the flip side, Truth Hurts, a Dr. Dre protégé, knows exactly what she's up against, and her stone-cold sexuality makes "Addictive" thrilling. She presumably wants trust and love, too, but for now, fucking a schmuck until her back aches will do. Against an uneasy wall of Middle Eastern rhythms and altered vocal samples, she writhes and coos"He keeps me guessing/Spontaneous/He's so persuasive." The timidity here comes from Rakim, unearthed for surprisingly stock lines about quitting the drug game and living the whipped life. But if this girl likes it so rough, maybe any old thug, even a legend, can turn to mush.
In "Feels Good (Don't Worry Bout a Thing)," though, Naughty by Nature and 3LW aren't looking for sexual revolutions; they're just making pop music for pop music's sake. The little women aren't out to screw Vinnie or Treach, nor do the rappers focus on 3LW specifically. They're all just in the booth together, making bouncy, breezy licorice, a snack for party people. Vinnie's verse recounts Naughty by Nature's old two-hit-wonder success, and Treach spits general rhymes about his "baldy" and giving Mom goose pimples. At least they acknowledge their limitations. Meanwhile, 3LW just concentrate on harmonizing and enjoying the moment. It's total beach musicit's easy to picture Vinnie and Treach tearing their shirts off and celebrating. Better them, I suppose, than Fat Joe.
