Dirk Nowitzki suspended 1 game for hard foul on Utah's Kirilenko
March 5, 2008
DALLAS (AP) -Dirk Nowitzki was suspended without pay for one game by the NBA on Wednesday for his hard foul on Utah's Andrei Kirilenko.
Nowitzki will miss the Dallas Mavericks' next game, at home Thursday night against the divisional rival Houston Rockets, who recently passed them in the tight Western Conference standings.
Nowitzki received a flagrant-1 when he hit Kirilenko midway through the first quarter of a 116-110 loss to Utah on Monday. However, the league reviewed the play and decided to upgrade it to a flagrant-2. Had it been ruled a flagrant-2 at the time he would've been ejected.
Kirilenko injured his right hip in the fall and stayed down for several minutes before getting up gingerly. He made both foul shots before being helped to the locker room. He was taken for X-rays, which showed no break.

Pac-10 Tip Sheet
March 5, 2008
By Brad Young
The Pac-10 Conference concludes its regular season this weekend, while the regular-season title will be determined with Thursday's Stanford-UCLA contest. Not only is the regular-season title up for grabs, but also a high seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
There are six or seven teams projected to make the Big Dance from the Conference of Champions, with the Bruins expected to garner the top seed in the West. Stanford, according to various websites, should be a third seed, while Washington State is expecting to be seeded around sixth.
There is a glut of teams in the middle of the Pac-10 standings, and things should be cleared up after the next two games. Southern Cal currently has fourth place all to itself, while Arizona State is fifth with Arizona and Oregon tied for sixth. The popular phrase 'if the season ended today' would have USC rated as a seventh-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona State is presently projected as a 10th seed, while Arizona is ninth. Oregon would be on the outside looking in due to a weaker strength of schedule, but the Ducks can play themselves into the Big Dance with victories this weekend over the Sun Devils and Wildcats. Now let's break down Thursday's action.
**Arizona State at Oregon**
-Las Vegas Sports Consultants installed Oregon as a six-point home 'chalk' over Arizona State, with the total set at 139. This contest is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET.
-Arizona State (18-10 straight up, 13-11 against the spread) has alternated SU and ATS wins and losses its last four games after beating Southern Cal Saturday as a one-point home favorite, 80-66.
-The Sun Devils went to the foul line 39 times, connecting on 34 attempts while the Trojans were 10-of-11 from the charity stripe. Arizona State shot 51 percent (20-of-39) from the field, led by freshman guard James Harden's 24 points on 7-of-8 shooting.
-The Sun Devils maintain a 5-6 SU and ATS road record, falling to opponents by an average score of 68-62.
-Oregon (16-12 SU, 12-13 ATS) had dropped three games in a row SU before dumping rival Oregon State Sunday as a 10-point road 'chalk,' 80-68. That marked the second game in a row that the Ducks covered.
-Oregon was outrebounded, 37-32, but prevailed by shooting 46 percent (24-of-52) from the field. Forward Maarty Leunen led all scorers with 32 points on 8-of-10 shooting.
-The Ducks are 11-3 SU but 5-7 ATS at home, winning those affairs by an average score of 82-71.
-Oregon had beaten Arizona State four times in a row SU before falling Jan. 3 as a 3½-point road underdog, 62-54. The Sun Devils have covered the last three games in this series.
**California at Southern Cal**
-LVSC opened Southern Cal as an eight-point home favorite over California, with the total listed at 138. This game is slated to start at 10:30 p.m. ET.
-California (15-12 SU, 11-12 ATS) has dropped three games in a row SU and back-to-back outings ATS after Saturday's setback to Washington as a three-point home 'chalk,' 87-84.
-The Golden Bears won the rebounding battle, 36-29, but allowed the Huskies to shoot 53 percent (33-of-62) from the field. Four Cal starters reached double digits in scoring, led by Eric Vierneisel's 20 points and seven rebounds.
-Cal is 5-4 SU and 6-3 ATS on the road, dropping those affairs by an average score of 74-73.
-Southern Cal (18-10 SU, 16-9 ATS) was riding a three-game SU and ATS winning streak before falling to Arizona State.
-The Trojans were outscored in the second half, 55-41. Freshman guard O.J. Mayo led all scorers with 37 points on 12-of-21 shooting, making him the only USC player to reach double digits in scoring.
-The Trojans are 9-5 SU and 6-5 ATS at home, winning those games by an average score of 68-62.
-Cal is 4-2 SU and ATS the previous six meetings with USC after prevailing Jan. 3 as a three-point home 'chalk,' 92-82. The Trojans swept last year's series SU and ATS.
**Arizona at Oregon State**
-Caesars Palace lists Arizona as a 13-point road 'chalk' over Oregon State. This contest is scheduled to tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET.
-Arizona (17-12 SU, 14-12 ATS) dropped to 1-4 SU its last five games after falling to UCLA Sunday as a 5 ½-point home underdog, 68-66. The Wildcats improved to 2-1 ATS their last three games with Sunday's performance.
-Arizona shot 47 percent (24-of-51) from the field, and missed a three pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game. Forward Chase Budinger had 24 points and seven rebounds in the loss, while Jordan Hill added 18 and six.
-The Wildcats are a pedestrian 6-6 SU and 7-4 ATS on the road, winning those affairs by an average score of 69-68.
-Oregon State (6-22 SU, 9-16 ATS) is still searching for its first conference victory after falling to Oregon Sunday. The Beavers have failed to cover their last five games, and haven't won SU since beating Northern Colorado in late December.
-Oregon State shot 39 percent (24-of-62) from the field, while shooting 15 times less than the Ducks at the free-throw line. Forward Marcel Jones paced the offense with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
-The Beavers have stumbled their way to a 3-10 SU and 2-11 ATS home ledger, dropping those affairs by an average score of 69-59.
-Arizona is 4-0 SU but 1-3 ATS the past four meetings with Oregon State after prevailing Jan. 3 as a 17-point home favorite, 76-63. That marked the third game in a row this series that the Beavers covered.
-Arizona forward Bret Brielmaier (shoulder) and guard Nic Wise (knee) are 'questionable' against the Beavers.
**Stanford at UCLA**
-LVSC installed UCLA as a nine-point home favorite over Stanford, with the total set at 128. FOX Sports Net will provide coverage of this contest beginning at 11:00 p.m. ET.
-Stanford (24-4 SU, 14-13 ATS) notched its fourth consecutive victory SU (2-2 ATS) after upending Washington State Saturday as a 4 ½-point home 'chalk,' 60-53. The Cardinal had failed to cover their previous two outings.
-Stanford won the rebounding battle, 30-25, while shooting 44 percent (20-of-45) from the field. Forward Brook Lopez led all scorers with 25 points and six rebounds.
-The Cardinal are 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS away from home, winning those affairs by an average score of 68-63.
-UCLA (26-3 SU, 17-9 ATS) continued its winning ways by slipping past Arizona Sunday its latest effort. The Bruins dipped to 1-2 ATS their last three games.
-UCLA outrebounded Arizona, 30-25, while shooting 48 percent (23-of-48) from the field. Freshman center Kevin Love enjoyed a stellar effort by collecting 24 points and 15 points in the victory.
-The Bruins sport a 14-2 SU and 8-6 ATS home ledger, winning those games by an average score of 77-55.
-UCLA is 4-1 SU and ATS the last five meetings with Stanford after winning Jan. 3 as a road 'pick,' 76-67.

Road Traps
**Clemson at Georgia Tech**
--Clemson (21-7 straight up, 16-9 against the spread) falls into a classic road trap here for several reasons. First, the Tigers are riding high after rallying from a 20-point deficit with 11:23 left to capture a jaw-dropping 73-70 win Sunday at Maryland. Secondly, this is a second straight road game for CU. Finally, Oliver Purnell's squad could be flat because it has locked up an at-large invite to the NCAA Tournament by virtue of the come-from-behind win over the Terps.
--Clemson cashed tickets as one-point road favorites in the improbable comeback at Maryland. Terrence Oglesby drained a deep jumper from the right wing to cap the furious rally. Prior to Oglesby's game-winning heroics, James Mays knotted the score at 70-70 with 48 seconds remaining on a breakaway jam after stealing a careless pass from Landon Milbourne.
--Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened this game as a pick 'em with a total of 150. As of early this morning, most spots had Clemson as the one-point favorite.
--Georgia Tech (12-16 SU, 12-14 ATS) has lost six of its last seven games, including a 76-74 home loss Monday to Virginia. The Yellow Jackets went down as 4 ½-point favorites, while the 150 combined points fell 'under' the 153 1/2-point tally.
--The Yellow Jackets are 6-7 SU and 6-5 ATS at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, formerly known as the "Thriller Dome" during Bobby Cremins' tenure.
--When these teams met at Clemson on Valentine's Day a few weeks ago, the Tigers collected an 82-67 win as 8 ½-point home favorites. Cliff Hammonds scored a game-high 22 points for the winners.
--Spreaking of Hammonds, he suffered a broken wrist against Maryland. Nevertheless, the injury is on Hammonds' non-shooting hand and he is expected to play through the injury.
--The 'over' is 16-10 overall for Georgia Tech, but the 'under' is 6-5 in its road games. As for Clemson, it has watched the 'over' go 13-11 overall.
--ESPN2 will provide television coverage at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
**Connecticut at Providence**
--LVSC opened UConn (23-6 SU, 14-11 ATS) as a five-point 'chalk' with a total of 147. However, the Huskies were at 3½ early this morning.
--Since losing at Villanova two weeks ago, Jim Calhoun's team has won back-to-back games, including Saturday's 69-61 home win over West Virginia as a three-point 'chalk.' A.J. Price scored a team-high 24 points for the Huskies, who improved to 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games.
--Providence (14-14 SU, 11-15 ATS) snapped a five-game losing streak Sunday with an 81-79 win at Cincinnati in overtime. The Friars took the cash as five-point underdogs. Geoff McDermott nearly produced a triple-double in the victory, finishing with 13 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists.
--Providence owns a 9-5 SU record and a 6-6 ATS mark at home.
--The 'under' is 14-12 overall for the Friars, but the 'over' is 7-5 in their home games.
--The 'over' is 13-12 overall for UConn.
--Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
**Xavier at St. Joseph's**
--LVSC opened Xavier (25-4 SU, 12-13 ATS) as a two-point 'chalk' with a total of 138. The Muskateers bring an 11-game winning streak to Philadelphia.
--Sean Miller's squad has covered the spread in three of its last four games, but Xavier failed to take the cash in Saturday's 66-56 win over George Washington as an 18½-point favorite.
--St. Joseph's (17-10 SU, ATS) has covered the spread in six of its last eight head-to-head meetings against Xavier, including a 76-72 loss to the Muskateers as 9½-point road underdogs on Feb. 10.
--Phil Martelli's team has gone 7-5 SU and 5-6 ATS at home.
--The 'under' is 14-11 overall for St. Joe's, 7-4 in its home assignments. The 'under' is also 14-11 overall for Xavier.
--ESPN will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. ET.
**Michigan State at Illinois**
--LVSC sent out Michigan State (23-6 SU, 10-13 ATS) as a two-point favorite with a total of 123. As of early this morning, most spots had the game listed as a pick 'em.
--Tom Izzo's squad has lost four consecutive road games, including double-digit defeats at Wisconsin and Indiana. On the bright side, the Spartans remain a national-title contender thanks to their perfect play at home. They are off a 103-74 pasting of the Hoosiers, avenging the loss at Assembly Hall in Bloomington.
--Raymar Mogan led Michigan St. over IU with a team-high 20 points. Drew Neitzel and Goran Sutton added 17 points apiece.
--Illinois (12-17 SU, 11-17 ATS) has lost six of its last eight games both SU and ATS, , but the Illini are off a 58-47 win at Iowa as a two-point favorite.
--Bruce Weber's team has endured a nightmare campaign in front of the home fans. The Illini are 6-7 SU and 3-9-1 ATS at home.
--The 'under' has cashed in four consecutive head-to-head meetings between Illinois and Michigan St.
--The Illini have taken the money in eight of the last 11 against the Spartans. However, Michigan St. won a 51-41 decision over Illinois as a nine-point favorite in East Lansing earlier this season.
--The 'over' is 15-13 overall for Illinois, 8-4-1 in its home games. The 'over' is 14-11 overall for the Spartans.
--Tip-off is slated for 9:00 p.m. ET. on ESPN2.

Re: Betting News and Notes - Mar. 6
Evansville vs. Missouri State: Preview and pick
Evansville vs. Missouri State -13 ½, 128
You can't be blamed if Missouri State makes you a little nervous to put your money behind heading into the Missouri Valley tournament.
This is a team that had high expectations heading into the season, but injuries and controversy held the Bears to a sub-.500 conference mark and they were the worst bet in the MVC at 10-17 ATS (against the spread).
The Bears now head into the conference amid reports that head coach Barry Hinson will get the axe at the end of the season no matter how Missouri State does in St. Louis.
If you believe their recent play is an indicator of how the team will respond, you like Missouri State's chances of doing some damage this weekend. The school finished the year with four wins and covered spreads in its last six games, which includes an 86-83 win over top 25 team and MVC-leading Drake.
Forward Dale Lamberth enters the weekend as the hottest player in the conference with 78 points over his past three games and he was named conference player of the week on Monday.
Lamberth combines with fellow senior Devin Mitchell to give Missouri State one of the toughest front courts in the MVC, a conference that is more renowned for its guard play. The two forwards each average over 14 points per game and both are capable of double-doubling you on any given night.
Lamberth and Mitchell are the main reasons why the past four games have gone over the total for the Bears.
Missouri State's biggest challenge will be making sure it shuts down Evansville's perimeter shooting. Though the Aces are the lowest scoring team in the MVC with just 60.1 per game, they happen to be the best three-point shooters at 37.9 percent.
Unfortunately for the Bears, they are the second-worst in the conference at defending the trey and when Evansville beat them 84-65 back on Jan. 26, Missouri State allowed the Aces to go 12 of 22 from downtown. That's especially embarrassing, considering Evansville finished last in the conference this year with just three wins.
The Bears must have learned their lesson, however, because in the second meeting they allowed Evansville to shoot just six treys, only one of which went in. Missouri State pummeled the Aces 76-38 in that game, coincidentally, as 13 ½-point favorites.
Junior guard Jason Holsinger and guard-forward Shy Ely are the two Aces that Missouri State needs to watch. Holsinger can heat up from outside in a hurry and Ely can beat you inside or outside.
Evansville is a terrible rebounding team, though, and if the Bears can limit its long balls again, they shouldn't have any problem Thursday.
Pick: Missouri State -13 1/2
Re: Betting News and Notes - Mar. 6
MVC tourney: Wichita St. vs. Indiana St. preview and pick
Wichita State vs. Indiana State -4½, 124½
The Shockers and Sycamores split their two meetings this season with both teams claiming wins on home court.
The Sycamores came away with a profit in this series, however, earning a cover at home and a push at Wichita State. The first meeting was settled by five points on Feb. 9 and the second game needed overtime before Indiana State won 73-63 on Feb. 19.
That means we can assume these two teams match up well, so you have to look hard at Wichita State getting 4 ½ points.
What the Shockers do well is rebound. They own, by far, the best rebounding margin in the conference (+6.6) and eight players average at least two boards per game. Those numbers might dwindle though if forward Phillip Thomasson can't play.
He is listed as doubtful after a foot injury last game and he ranks fourth on the Shockers with 4.3 boards per game. It should be noted that the team that won the rebounding battle won the game in both meetings this season.
Indiana State has the worst rebounding margin in the conference (-2.1) and they give up size against the bigger Shockers.
What the Sycamores do much better than the Shockers though, is protect the ball. Wichita State has the worst assist-to-turnover ratio in the MVC and they handed the ball over 20 times in the most recent loss to the Sycamores.
That's worrisome, considering Indiana State has three players who average double figures. All-MVC team honorable mention Gabriel Moore scores 12 points per game and chips in with 4.8 assists while guards Marico Stinson scores 12.3 and Harry Marshall scores 10 ppg.
The Sycamores don't play great defense with 67 points against per game, but freshman Isiah Martin led the league in blocks (55) and was named to the All-Freshman team.
But perhaps the most important element of this game is the total.
The over has prevailed in Indiana State's last nine games while Wichita State has played over in nine of its last 10 outings. Over bettors also took the money in both meetings this season, which had totals of 124 and 121 ½.
Both teams are also scoring more points, and allowing more, than their season averages over their past five games, which almost makes you wonder if oddsmakers have overlooked something here. Not likely, but with the lack of defense from these teams lately, it's tough not to jump on the trend.
Pick: over 124 1/2

Re: Betting News and Notes - Mar. 6
(24) Clemson (21-7, 16-9 ATS) at Georgia Tech (12-16, 12-14 ATS)
The Tigers, who are on a two-game SU and ATS surge, travel to Atlanta for an ACC contest against Georgia Tech, which has been relegated to a spoiler role after dropping six of its last seven games.
Clemson staged a furious rally in the final 10 minutes at Maryland on Sunday, erasing an 18-point deficit en route to a 73-70 victory as a one-point road favorite. The Tigers (9-5 SU and ATS in the ACC) moved to 4-1 SU and ATS in their last five games, all in ACC play.
Georgia Tech lost to Virginia 76-74 Monday as a 4½-point home chalk, ending a two-game ATS run. The Yellow Jackets (5-9, 7-7 ATS in the ACC) are 2-4 ATS in their last six league games.
The straight-up winner is 9-0 ATS in Clemson's last nine contests and 11-1 ATS in Georgia Tech's last 12.
These two teams have split the cash in the last 10 meetings, with Georgia Tech going 6-4 SU. Clemson breezed to an 82-67 home win three weeks ago giving 8½ points to end a two-game ATS skid in the series, and the Tigers are 4-2 SU and ATS in the last six clashes.
Though the Tigers have been solid against the number in conference play, they are a mediocre 3-4 ATS on the highway in league contests.
The Yellow Jackets are a sterling 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a winning road record, and they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 Thursday starts, but they have failed to cash in five of their last seven games overall.
The over is 9-4 in Georgia Tech's last 13 ACC games. For Clemson, the under is 4-1 in its last five starts, 5-1 following a SU win and 5-1 on the highway. Also, the under is 4-1 the last five meetings in Atlanta, with last month's clash barely staying below the 153-point posted price.
ATS ADVANTAGE: GEORGIA TECH and UNDER
Arizona State (18-10, 13-11 ATS) at Oregon (16-12, 13-11-2 ATS)
A pair of Pac-10 teams that are firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble clash in Eugene, Ore., where the Ducks, losers of three of their last four, look to turn things around when they host Arizona State.
Arizona State whipped Southern California 80-66 Saturday as a two-point home chalk. The Sun Devils (8-8, 9-7 ATS in the Pac-10) salvaged a SU and ATS split last week after a 70-49 blowout home loss to UCLA catching 6½ points last Thursday.
Oregon topped archrival Oregon State 80-68 Sunday as a 10-point road favorite, ending a three-game losing streak (1-2 ATS). The Ducks (7-9, 8-7-1 ATS in the Pac-10) are still just 4-8 ATS in their last 12 Pac-10 starts this season.
Arizona State is on a 6-2 ATS run in this series, including three straight spread-covers (1-2 SU), including a 62-54 home win giving three points back on Jan. 3. Last year in Eugene, Oregon won 55-51, but Arizona State got the cash as a 14½-point pup. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 contests.
The Sun Devils are on a 6-0 ATS tear against teams with a winning SU record, but they are 1-4 ATS in their last five on Thursday and 1-4 ATS in their last five coming off a spread-cover. Meanwhile, the Ducks are 13-6-2 ATS in their last 21 in Eugene, but they are on ATS slides of 1-4 against teams with a winning SU mark and 1-4 on Thursday.
For ASU, the under is on streaks of 14-5 on the road, 20-9 in Pac-10 play and 5-0 against winning teams. For Oregon, the under is on runs of 7-0 after a SU win, 6-2-1 in Eugene and 40-19 on Thursday. Finally, the total has stayed low in six of the last seven in this rivalry, including the last three contests, with January's meeting falling far short of the 143-point posted price.
(17) Michigan State (23-6, 10-13-2 ATS) at Illinois (12-17, 11-17-1 ATS)
The Spartans, coming off a big blowout victory, hit the road for a Big Ten contest against struggling Illinois, which just snapped a three-game SU and ATS slide.
Michigan State pounded Indiana 103-74 Sunday laying four points at home to move to 3-1 in its last four games (2-2 SU). Despite that rout, the Spartans (11-5, 5-11 ATS in the Big Ten) have cashed in just two of their last eight games, going only 4-4 SU, all in Big Ten action.
Illinois bested Iowa 58-47 Saturday as a two-point road favorite, posting just its second Big Ten road win in nine trips this season. The Fighting Illini (4-12, 7-9 ATS in the Big Ten) have also struggled at home in league play, going 2-5 SU and ATS.
Illinois is on a 7-3 ATS run in this rivalry (6-4 SU), but Michigan State has won and covered three of the last four, including a 51-41 home win Jan. 30, narrowly getting the cash as a nine-point chalk. The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight battles, but the Spartans are 1-4 ATS on their last five trips to Champaign. Finally, the SU winner has cashed in each of the last nine series clashes.
The Spartans are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 following a SU win of more than 20 points, but they are on negative pointspread slides of 1-8-1 after a spread-cover, 0-4 after a SU win and 0-4 on the road. Tom Izzo's squad has cashed in back-to-back games just once the entire Big Ten campaign.
The Illini are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 against teams with a winning SU mark, but like Michigan State, they carry several negative ATS trends, including 6-14 after a pointspread cover, 2-6 at home, 1-5 on Thursday and just 7-22 after a SU victory.
Michigan State has topped the total in four of its last five overall, but the under is 10-4 in its last 14 on Thursday. For Illinois, the over is on a 7-0 run in Thursday contests and is 6-1 at home, but the under is 41-20-2 in its last 63 following a SU win. Finally, each of the last four series meetings have stayed under the number, and the under is 6-0 in the last six clashes in Champaign.
ATS ADVANTAGE: MICHIGAN STATE and UNDER
(7) Stanford (24-4, 14-14 ATS) at (3) UCLA (26-3, 17-9-2 ATS)
The Pac-10 regular-season title is on the line tonight at Pauley Pavilion, where first-place UCLA goes for its sixth straight victory overall and a season sweep of the Cardinal, who have won four in a row and 11 of their last 12.
Stanford rallied to top Washington State 60-53 Saturday as a 4½-point home favorite, ending a two-game ATS hiccup. The Cardinal (13-3, 8-8 ATS in the Pac-10) have followed a five-game Pac-10 ATS win streak by going just 2-4 ATS in their last six league contests.
Two days after blasting Arizona State 70-49 as a 6½-point road favorite, UCLA went south to Tucson and barely beat Arizona 68-66 on Sunday, falling short as a 5½-point chalk. The Bruins (14-2, 11-5 ATS in the Pac-10) have won 10 of their last 11 (8-3 ATS), all in conference play, and they can clinch their third straight regular-season conference crown with a victory tonight.
UCLA has won and covered the last two in this rivalry, including a 76-67 road win Jan. 3 as a one-point pup. Last year at home, the Bruins coasted to a 75-61 win laying 12 points, and they are 4-1 SU and ATS in the last five contests. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings, and the road team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 matchups, with the Cardinal are 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to Pauley,
The Cardinal are 6-0 ATS on the highway following three or more consecutive home starts, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five roadies.
The Bruins are on a 5-0 ATS tear in Thursday outings and have additional positive ATS trends of 20-8 after a pointspread setback and 15-7-2 following a SU win.
For Stanford, the over is on streaks of 4-0 against winning teams, 5-1 in Pac-10 play, 4-1 coming off a SU win and 4-1 on the road. For UCLA, the over is on runs of 5-1 overall, 5-0 against winning teams, 5-1 at home and 4-1 on Thursday. Finally, the over is 4-0 in the last four series meetings overall and 6-2 the last eight battles at Pauley.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UCLA and OVER
Cleveland (35-26, 29-32 ATS) at Chicago (24-36, 26-34 ATS)
The Bulls seek to avenge Sunday's loss in Cleveland when they welcome the Cavaliers to the United Center for a Central Division clash.
Chicago fell apart in the fourth quarter on Sunday, getting outscored 30-18 en route to a 95-86 loss as a 4½-point road underdog. The Bulls bounced back in a big way with Tuesday's 112-97 rout of Memphis as an 11½-point home favorite, however they enter tonight having not won consecutive contests in more than two months, a span of 33 games.
Backed by 50 points from LeBron James, Cleveland ran its winning streak to three in a row with last night's 119-105 destruction of the Knicks as a four-point road favorite. The Cavs are 6-2 in their last eight (5-3 ATS), and they've covered the spread in back-to-back games, the first time they've turned that trick since the end of January, although they're just 8-9 ATS over this span.
The Cavaliers improved to 7-2 SU and ATS in their last nine games against the Bulls with Sunday's home win. The host is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 clashes and the straight-up winner has cashed in each of the last 10 head-to-head battles.
The Bulls are on ATS runs of 10-5 overall, 4-2 at home and 8-3 when playing on one day of rest.
Cleveland is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 divisional games, 7-3 ATS in its last 10 on Thursday and 5-1 in its last five on the road.
Although Tuesday's game against Memphis barely squeaked over the total, the under is still 7-2-1 in Chicago's last 10 home games. Also, the Cavs have stayed low in three of their last four contests, but they're 8-2-1 "over" in their past 11 Central Division clashes. Also, the over is 5-1 in the last six series clashes at the United Center.
Houston (40-20, 35-24-1 ATS) at Dallas (39-22, 25-32-4 ATS)
The Rockets put their franchise-record 16-game winning streak on the line tonight when they visit American Airlines Center for a Southwest Division battle against the slumping and shorthanded Mavericks.
Houston continued its winning ways and wrapped up a perfect six-game homestand with Wednesday's 117-99 rout of the Pacers as an 11-point favorite. The Rockets have cashed in eight straight games, and they're 14-2 ATS during their winning streak, which is the longest in the NBA this season and the longest in team history.
While Houston has been surging, the Mavericks have hit the skids, losing two straight and three of their last four, with all three defeats coming on the road. On Monday in Utah, Dallas battled back from a big second-half hole, but still fell short 116-110 as a 5½-point road underdog. In that game, All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki was whistled for a flagrant foul and was subsequently suspended for this contest.
On the bright side, the Mavericks, who have played five home games since Jan. 28, return to American Airlines Center, where they are 25-3 this season (11-13-4 ATS), including 12 consecutive wins (4-5-3 ATS).
The Mavericks have dominated Houston recently, winning six straight meetings and nine of he last 10, with the SU winner covering the spread in all 10 contests. In two meetings this year – both in Houston – Dallas won 100-94 as a 2½-point underdog and 96-83 as a 3½-point pup. Prior to those two contests, the favorite had gone 7-1 ATS in this series.
The Rockets are on incredible pointspread streaks of 22-7 overall, 4-1 in divisional play, 6-1 against the Western Conference, 4-0 on the road and 5-0 when playing on back-to-back nights.
The Mavs are on ATS tears of 37-14-1 against Southwest Division foes and 25-11-1 when playing on two days' rest. However, they're 2-8 ATS in their last 10 contests on Thursday.
Dallas has topped the total in four straight games and the over is 6-2-1 in its last nine. However, the under is on streaks of 9-5 for Houston overall (4-0 on the road), 13-5 when Houston plays on back-to-back nights, 40-19-1 for Houston against divisional foes and 6-2 for Dallas in divisional games.

22 May 2013 23:02 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Here is Wednesday's end of day Americas oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Jul WTI: $94.28/bbl, down $1.90; Jul Brent: $102.60/bbl, down $1.31
NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures finished down in response to the weekly supply statistics from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) that showed gasoline inventories rising to near-record levels, overshadowing a build in crude and distillate stocks. An early rally in the stock market faded, also pressuring the energy complex. The dollar also firmed against the euro on expectations that the US Federal Reserve will continue its economic stimulus program.
RBOB: June $2.8194/gal, down 2.64 cents/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices fell as the EIA report showed a larger-than-expected build in gasoline inventories.
NATURAL GAS: June: $4.186/MMBtu, down 0.6 cents
The front month contract on the NYMEX natural gas futures market settled for the day almost flat from the previous days close in relatively low volumes as traders anticipated tomorrow's weekly gas storage report from the EIA.
ETHANE: lower at 28.25 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices fell slightly on weaker energy futures and a spike in propane inventories.
AROMATICS: Toluene tighter at $3.93-4.00, mixed xylene tighter at $3.95-4.05/gal
Prompt n-grade toluene spot prices were discussed within a tighter range during the day, sources said. The afternoon toluene range narrowed from $3.90-4.05/gal FOB (free on board). Mixed xylene (MX) spot prices were also discussed within a tighter range, compared with $3.95-4.10/gal FOB.
OLEFINS: ethylene done at 56 cents/lb, PGP done lower at 60.75 cents/lb
US May ethylene was done twice at 56 cents/lb on Wednesday, compared with deals done the previous day at 55, 56 and 57 cents/lb. May polymer-grade propylene (PGP) was done lower at 60.75 cents/lb, compared with the previous reported deals at 61.00 and 61.25 cents/lb.

Immigrants mix old and new for first Christmas in America
Christmas means many things to many people in many parts of the world. It is a glorious time, a gathering time, a gorging time. It is a spiritual and secular time.
In countries as far-flung as Thailand and Iraq and Haiti, friends and relatives will come together on Dec. 25 to celebrate the birth of Jesus — and each other.
And in the United States, people who have immigrated here from countries the world over will do the same, bringing tastes of their homelands to new homes while embracing American culture and customs.
In this way, the holiday heralds a beginning and an end. Things get left behind, new traditions emerge and old ones carry on.
Here is how three immigrant families are building their new traditions in their new homes in San Diego and El Cajon.
Couple and kids leave refugee camps behind
For as long as they can remember, Pau Pau and Memory Paw have celebrated Christmas inside refugee camps in Thailand, cobbling together a communal meal of rice and curry — with some chicken if they were lucky.
Pau Pau, now 29, left Burma as a 5-year-old boy with his family, joining the ranks of millions who have fled decades of internal fighting that continues under the nation's current military regime.
His wife, 24-year-old Memory Paw, and their three children were born in Thailand's refugee camps, where the family depended on handouts from the United Nations to survive.
They arrived together in the U.S. as asylum seekers in late October. For the first time in their lives, Pau Pau and Memory Paw were free to pursue livelihoods for themselves and formal schooling for their children.
In Thailand, with no residency status, Pau Pau could only work odd jobs for meager pay, picking crops or tending to elephants at a park for foreign tourists. Memory Paw was an unpaid schoolteacher for refugee children.
Speaking through a Karen language interpreter, Memory Paw said she hopes this holiday season will be a little better than last Christmas. But the challenges of their new lives remain daunting.
For instance, they can't drive yet and haven't taken the bus because they don't know enough English to communicate with the bus drivers.
They have found familiar produce at a nearby Vietnamese supermarket. On Sundays, they walk nearly a mile to join a Baptist congregation of more than 200 fellow Burmese immigrants at the Fairmount Community Church.
That's where they intend to spend Christmas Day. There are plans for services, singing of hymns and a Christmas dinner.
Until then, there is little time and even fewer resources to devote to holiday festivities.
Pau Pau and Memory Paw alternately attend English classes so they can look after their 3-year-old twins, Ler Baw Ploe and Ler Taw Paw.
Their 7-year-old daughter, Snow Drop, is enrolled at a local elementary school that has several other Burmese students.
At home on a recent morning, the children scampered through a furnished but undecorated apartment where the whole family sleeps together in one extended bed. An uncle who immigrated at the same time occupies the second bedroom.


text: The Megaman.EXE wiki last edited by PacPanda on 02/08/15 04:22PM View full history Megaman is the Net-Navi of Lan Hikari and was created by Lan Hikari's father. It was shown later in the manga that he was actually the reincarnation of Lan's twin brother Hub. This is said to be the reason why they are able to synchronize with each other both physically and mentally. The two developed a strong friendship and have had a sort of love-hate relationship. He is a very social Net-Navi and he tries to keep the peace when he is with his friends Roll, Gutsman, and Glide. These Net-Navis are the Net-Navis of Lan's friends Mayl, Dex, and Yai.He has gone through many changes while fighting to keep the Net safe from evil. He obtained the ability of style-change from Dr. Hikari, which allows him to become any elemental-type Net-Navi he wants. Later on, he becomes able to unite with his friends' souls to become to take on their abilities and part of their appearance.

For the light baffles, I cloned the old Corona. It had two strips of thin brass, folded into long "vee's", with a narrow strip of black velveteen glued onto each strip. (I used ordainary 3/8" wide black velveteen ribbon from Fabric Land). They were set down into two parallel grooves, and acted just like the spring action weather stripping on a typical good quality front door. The brass can't be over 0.002" thick, or the insertion force for the darkslide will be too great.
I used 0.032" Garolite. It's a bit thin (I wish it were available in metric thickness, 1 mm would be perfect. By being careful about the spring action on the baffles, I can keep the insertion force low enough so the 1/32" Garolite won't try to buckle. Another advantage is that the total weight of the holder is kept down to a svelte 2lb-3oz, compared to 3lb-6oz for my Blunderbuss Wisner holders.
I got the bookbinders cloth from a local bookbinder (of all places). I picked up a few samples to try, and decided on a pseudo "leatherette" texture on a coated cloth that's 0.012" thick.
Here's a photo of my efforts...

Worst In the Bad Neighbor Landscape
- Ronald and Coleen are horrible people. They had her mother, who is in a wheel chair, live with them after the father died. Six months later they throw the old woman out! Who does this to family? What kind of people are they? This, to me, shows what type of people they are. The old woman is an invalid, her husband dies and they do this! They have this pretend life they live. They want people to think they are "good people". I hear them night after night. They are crazy and the wife, well I just cannot put into words what a horrible human being she is. I always say what goes around, comes around! Hope it is soon.

Puppy Mill
- I have lived in my country home for 21 years and the last 8 years have been awful. Our neighbor sold a piece of his land to people who have put in a puppy mill (1/8th of mile from us). We have spent a lot of time and effort in trying to get these people to do something about the over 200 dogs barking. The response from these awful people is "we don't care". Is there some kind of barrier wall that we can put in our backyard so we can at least sit outside?
- —Guest Jay Lynn
Bad Neighbor Lets Dog Bark All Night
- I have a crazy old lady next door. She lets a Labrador retriever bark all night. She has had several neighbors ask her to bring the dog in at night. She won't do it, she claims he is a moose in the house. This is a lady who also prances around in a negligee, and does not wear any underwear. She is older, in her late 60s or 70s. She is outside in her negligee when the school bus pulls up in the morning. The school bus driver and I would have called the police, but there is another little old guy who walks his dog and pees in front of the school bus. The bus driver thought we should call the police on him instead. Anyway, if anyone ever tells you Henderson is paradise, just remember the story about the crazy old people flashing people and their barking dogs.

Got You All Beat
- When it comes to stories about bad neighbors, I've got you all beat. My story is this: thirty feet off my property line my neighbor moved into an old, ratty trailer used for storage. There's no septic, well, electric. There's an outhouse. It's all legal in Fannin County, Georgia.

Nextdoor Newbies With Attitude
- So the neighbors next door moved in after we were well established and their attitude was immediately apparent. We used the front of our house for our teens' cars but they parked there. And when asked to please move them to their empty driveway or empty space in front of their house, they got mad. It only escalated. They had frequent parties with loud music playing into the night, and we put up with it for a couple of years until his 30th birthday (well named a "white trash party") went late with loud music. So when asked to turn down the music, the drunk partiers said NO and someone tried to damage our car and their party came equipped with a visit from the police. Since then we have had vandalism in our side yard, rose bushes being cut down, others being sprayed with something, the edge of my yard being sprayed with something that killed the grass, lit cigarette butts thrown at my wooden arbor, beer cans tossed into my landscaping. We have security cam now and they fuss about that and do dances for us now and show everyone who comes over. Wish they'd move.

They Cut Down My Uncle's Memorial Tree!
- My 90-year-old mom just lost her husband of 67 years. Now that he's gone, the neighbors are harassing my mom by cutting down her trees. She begged them to leave the tree my uncle (from England) planted during his last visit to Florida as a memorial because he was dying of colon cancer. They cut it down despite my mother's tears. Then they went on to trim her beautiful blooming Bougainvillea that she loves so much. I'm irate. I live n California and am disabled. Her English family is coming to take her back for awhile. This is the family that planted the tree. Can you imagine how they will feel when they see that it's gone? The neighbors claimed that the tree had rats that were invading their property. Their property is a mess. My Mom takes care of her land and she doesn't have rats. I'm wondering if we should contact her attorney and let people know that just because she's alone, she still has people looking out for her and make them pay for another tree just like the other one.
- —gailiemac
- We have immature neighbors next door. People who grew up around here all say the same and they are not very popular. These people are in there 40's and act like they are 14 years old. They love to fight and love to gossip and when they get mad they love revenge. Need I say more! They don't seem to have many friends and I can see why! They know all of my business but I am a person that says what I think . If they want to spread it around it isn't anything I haven't already said to the people who deserve it. I have a bunch of very nice neighbors all around us and I will just find people I don't have to waste my precious time on.

Welfare Recipients
- I live in Glendale AZ in a condo where 13 people are living in a 935 square ft condo. There are 9 children, 5 under 5 sleeping in a 10x11 bedroom. The cops, CPS and DPS (welfare) have been called with no avail. They don't work. There are 4 adults living there and not one of them work. They bought a newer vehicle, new tires for all 3 vehicles, a large grille and other goodies. How do welfare recipients get so much when the rest of us working citizens barely are making it? Their kids yell and cry all day, and even ear plugs don't work. I leave as much as possible so I can have peace of mind. It is very hard seeing these families getting away with it. I was raised with 10 other bros and sisters and we had respect for my parents and the neighborhood. We just knew what to do. Kids nowadays have no respect, and the parents are lazy. They don't take the kids to a park or away. The kids scream and cry because they are always in trouble, because they want to do something other than sitting around.

Neighbors From Hell and Back
- I am from a family of 12 kids and can't believe the neighbors who have moved in. We have the mother, 2 daughters and daughter's boyfriend with 9 kids. 5 of them are under 5. They scream, ride their bikes and big wheels and are just so noisy. I have tried to let the parents/grandma know of the constant distraction. When I am getting in my car I hear them saying, "Here she comes, I guess she's gonna call the police." I asked them if they want me to call the police since they are not following the rules of the association? They didn't know what to say since I caught them. The association does zero. They don't enforce the rules and the police are all customer service for the criminals. They have 9 kids and 5 of them are boys sleeping in a 10x11 room. CPS is doing zero too. Isn't it against the law to have boys and girls in 1 room? I thought it was. I am ready to find a neighborhood with no kids allowed.

Nosey and Gossiping Bad Neighbor
- We bought our house 13 years ago and I should have checked out the two neighbors who live on each side of me. We share a common driveway. The one lady neighbor runs around the neighborhood spreading gossip and gets other neighbors so that all I get is bad looks and stares. All of this because I don't get involved with her gossip lifestyle. She watches everything my husband and I do. We can't work in our yard without her coming over bothering us and will not let us have any privacy. When I go outside to my car she is right there; she's everywhere when I'm outside. A busybody, annoying neighbor.

Rose Between Two Thorns
- Your bad neighbour descriptions might as well be written by me, since I can relate. One neighbour wants me out of the neighbourhood because I am in my eighties. The neighbourhood yokels plus these two neighbours run cars, vans, quarter tons with noise maker attachments to their vehicles. They watch me like a hawk, staring up at the windows, stopping on the street in front of the house. I make myself invisible but this makes them search me out. They seem to think I might be naked in the windows! Even through the night there is a car moving in front of my house. If I answer my phone they know I'm in. Then the cars, trucks start running up & down past my house & follow me If I drive to church. All in the hope I will move somewhere else. I've had to call the Provincial police on them many times. Out of frustration I have driven down the highway at three o'clock in the morning blowing the horn for all I'm worth. When things get too bad I phone the Provincial Police.

Bad Neighbors - -Me or Them?
- For twelve years I have lived peacefully with all my neighbors until new people started moving in. One new neighbor made his wife park her school bus on my lawn because he didn't want her damaging his. Every Fourth of July and New Years eve he would shoot fireworks at my house and leave them there. Another one moved in and immediately told me I have to move my mailbox because she was notorious for backing into them. Then my next door neighbor moved in and decided to spray Roundup 3 feet into my yard, so he could replace my lawn with what he wanted . Then he said he did it because he was confused. Six months later he has replaced his lawn but not mine. He turns his sprinklers on late at night and is killing my trees and causing weeds to grow in my yard. Now he and the mailbox neighbor are spraying weed killer in my yard to kill the weeds he is causing to grow there. The newest one says I am a bad neighbor because I asked her not to let her dog crap on my lawn. Am I really bad?

Bad Neighbors in Montreal
- I've lived in Lasalle, Montreal for the past 4 years. Our neighbors are one of the worst kind! They play their music so loud that my walls and my floor vibrates, and in the summer time, oh man, they have like 50 people from their families hanging out in front of my door (I live in a duplex). Even after everything they put me through, I still remain very polite with them because my parents raised me well. Our neighbor is a single mother and she has like 4 kids that are I think 15 or 16. When I took the place I said, oh, it's not gonna be that bad, it's a single mom taking care of her kids, but boy, was I wrong. All she does is sit on her ass drinking a beer on her porch with her mom and stay there from 10am to midnight. Like seriously, go get a job instead of living on welfare. Her kids, they always watch me and my BFF as if we were from another planet (they're black and we're white). Anyways, I'm moving soon, and this time I took a place were there's an administration in the building and security camera.

Bad Neighbor? No, Insane Witch From Hell
- I have an upstairs neighbor who is completely insane. As soon as my roommate and I moved in, she took it upon herself to shoot angry looks 24/7. We attempted to be civil by opening the door for her (she is an older, 55 yr old woman, we are both girls in our early 20s), and these kind actions seemed to only elicit more hostility. Well after she left a HUGE dent in the side of my car (she parks beside of me and it happened at night; when I got to the car her car wasn't there -- it had to have been her), and she made no apologies, said nothing. I had no energy to deal with it. The icing on the cake was when I was trying to get into my car early on a Saturday morning in a rush and she had her car door open blocking me from entering my car. I asked politely if she could move the door. She laughed and said I had to wait and then continued to insult me. I finally lost it and cussed her out and got in my car. She then began cursing at me too and danced behind my car and told me to grow up. Scary.

Awful Neighbour
- My grandma lives in a ground floor flat with one neighbour living above her. The neighbour has disabled the lights both outside and in the main corridor he and my grandma share. This recently almost broke my uncle's ankle. If it had been my grandma, she might not have been so fortunate. He has also placed a lock on the cupboard which contains the switches that control all the power in the complex. He made a ramshackle-looking shed on part of my grandma's property which neighbouring children play on. Everyone in my grandma's complex has complained on numerous occasions to the landlord but nothing has been done.

'Warm Bodies' finds charm in zombie love
Being one of the walking dead would be incredibly tedious, especially if you possessed self-awareness. For R (Nicholas Hoult), it means spending every day ambling around an airport with no idea how he ended up there or who he is. (He thinks his first name starts with R, but he isn't entirely sure.)
In the slightly unconventional romantic comedy "Warm Bodies," R is a zombie unsatisfied with his station in life. He can't sleep or dream and, outside of grunting, can't speak. To survive, he must feed on humans. The odds may be against him, but as he informs viewers in voice-over, R yearns for something more. »Read Full Article
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

The laser-enrichment venture will also promote energy security "since it is a domestic source," he added.

Tuscany for Friends
View Single Post
Tuscan rider
Joined: Jun 2007
Location: Tuscany, Italy
Oddometer: 3,229
Mean while......
.....on the south side of the Alps, the spear-head platoon, consisting of troops flown in from Canada supported by
local trackers, prepare to meet the main force. Meeting point has been set to Berceto.
Berceto is a nice little town in the Appeninni, on the old road via Francigena.
But the story begins somewhat earlier.
On the 17th of April, in good time before arrival of the main force, two American spies (marked in RED) and one
Australian spy (marked in BLUE because it is believed that he originally is from the Maldives in the Indian Ocean), and a
local tracker set out on the long and arduous travel. The goal of the mission was simple: Bring back photos of Berceto.
The photo was discretely taken by a local peasant while the spies hurriedly had something to eat before continuing.
The spies barely made it across Passo della Cisa. The temperature was well below 10C, it was fog, it was raining.
In particular the Maldivian-Australian special forces suffered from a slight climate-chock.
This surveillance camera picture reveals how the spies with blended perfectly in with the locals.
The piazza is Absolutely No Parking, 0 - 24h, and "Towing without Warning"-zone.
Only one thing escaped the spies.
Fast forward to D-Day.
On D-Day the Canadian troops, as said supported by locally recruited trackers, set out towards Berceto.
Based on intelligence brought back by the spies.
The sun is shining, and everything seems to be going well.
That is until the troops pass through the first control post set up by opposing forces.
The local tracker simply pay some bribes to the soldiers manning the post, and they lift the barrier
so he can drive through. The Commander of the Canadian troops, however, makes a small mistake.
He blames "sand" but it is not clear what this means. In any case, before he knows it his horse has thrown
him off, he is on the ground and the horse crashes down with him.
The local trackers rush back and whisk the Canadian through the check point.
Here, the second mistake was made. It was believed that the troops manning the check-point would not
remember this Canadian guy. He would have to pay for that mistake later.
Trying to shake off the mishap, the spear-head platoon rushes along. The rushing becomes trotting, becomes
walking, and almost comes to a stand-still. The temperature drops, drops, and drops.
At the pass we see 7C. Not nice at all.
It becomes evident that the spies missed an important observation: It always rains in Berceto. At least, it rained then,
and it rains now. A lot. Cold, cold rain.
They arrive in Berceto, just to find a very yellow motorbike parked outside a bar. Inside, among the locals, they see a large man
in an insanely yellow rain-suit. After a short discussion, it is decided to discretely approach this man.

From the Publisher"Accessible to the non-specialist, the arguments found in The Rule of Rules are clearly made and well-illustrated with concrete examples. The authors address a large number of topics and take up controversial positions on most. This will make an important contribution to ongoing jurisprudential debates."—Mark Tushnet, Georgetown University Law Center
"This book not only substantially advances our understanding of the nature of rules themselves, but is by some margin the best treatment there is of the relationship between rules and law. In an era in which context, flexibility, and discretion are often uncritically celebrated, this book throws down the gauntlet for a rule-based understanding of law. No one who is interested in the nature of legal reasoning and legal decision-making can afford to ignore this book, and no one who is skeptical about the importance of rules to law can avoid the challenges that Alexander and Sherwin present."—Frederick Schauer, Harvard University

O'side police pay ranked highest in county
OCEANSIDE Are Oceanside police the highest-paid in the county, as some city leaders have claimed amid a tense labor impasse with the Oceanside Police Officers Association?
The answer is yes — sort-of.
Oceanside pays more than any other general police agency in the San Diego region. It falls slightly behind the San Diego Harbor Police Department, a specialized agency that patrols the port district and waterways and whose officers are cross-trained as marine firefighters.
Senior officers in Oceanside earn nearly $119,000 each year in total salary and benefits, according to a recent study that ranked the city No. 1 in police pay. (The Harbor Police — which wasn't included in the study — pays senior officers an average of $133,000 per year.)
Some Oceanside officials have used the study to argue that the city should reject new pay increases for officers and ask the police union for concessions on pension and health benefits.
But negotiators for the Oceanside Police Officers Association say a highly trained force is critical to curbing crime in the city and that competitive pay is the only way to retain and recruit high-quality officers.
Oceanside declared an impasse in the contract negotiations last week.
According to a 2013 pay survey by the Carlsbad Police Officers Association, Oceanside senior officers earn $118,776 a year in total compensation, including health and retirement benefits. That study — which didn't include the Harbor Police — ranked Oceanside's pay highest in the county.
Steve Tiplitsky, a negotiator for the Oceanside police union, said the city's officers deserve to be well compensated because they have some of the toughest beats in the county. Tiplitsky cited the city's high crime rate, persistent gang problem and high number of registered sex offenders in his argument for better pay.
"We think our officers work very hard," he said. "There is a lot of crime in the city."
The 2013 study found the second highest paid city police department was in Coronado, where senior officers earn $115,788 in total compensation. Next was Carlsbad, where the total pay is $115,212, according to the survey.
Several law enforcement agencies have negotiated pay raises in the past few months, including the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, which will see deputy pay increase 8 percent over the next four years under a deal approved by the county board of supervisors Tuesday.
Escondido police officers will get a 10 percent raise over the next three years under a contract approved in November.
Oceanside Councilman Jerry Kern agreed this week that police officers in his city have a tough job and said that's why they are well compensated. He was one of three council members who voted in favor the impasse; Mayor Jim Wood and Deputy Mayor Esther Sanchez voted against it.
Kern said the bottom line is that Oceanside has only so much money to spend on city services.
"I truly sympathize with them and I don't dispute that there is a lot of crime in the city," Kern said. "That's why they're the highest paid, but we can only pay what we can afford."

The business of sports: Uptown Hockey wades into the gay marriage debate, Part Two
by The Upper Canadien on 05/09/11 at 09:59 PM ET
Comments (12)
Following on my earlier post regarding Uptown Hockey and the controversy surrounding their remarks regarding gay marriage, two important updates:
1) Todd Reynolds, Vice President of Uptown, took to the airwaves to defend his firm's decision to post these remarks at 6:45 this evening. That interview, which is well worth the listen, is available here:
TSN Radio Podcast: Uptown Hockey
Kudos to James Cybulski and Bruce Arthur for a very good interview.
2) Don Reynolds, Todd's father and president of the company, did an interview shortly thereafter with the National Post. That can be found here:
In the interview, Don Reynolds appears to equate gay marriage and beastiality. Controversial at best, offensive to many at worst. Something tells me Uptown Hockey may need a consulting firms services soon. This is why public relations experts exist, by the way.

As regular readers know, I am in finance by day, have a business background, and occasionally write about the business of hockey. Today, Uptown Sports Management, a well known agency for professional athletes, made a very odd and controversial decision, involving the relatively new medium of Twitter.
They opted to Tweet their disapproval of gay marriage:

Very sad to read Sean Avery's misguided support of same-gender "marriage". Legal or not, it will always be wrong.

During my appearance on XM NHL's The War Room two weeks ago, I mentioned the likelihood that Kirk Muller would be the next head coach of the Dallas Stars.
Well, it looks like I called this one right.

This has to be seen by as many people as possible.
Bruins' play by play man Jack Edwards compares the Bruins-Habs series to, well, let's see, royal families, imperialism, he manages to get the Boston Tea Party uprising in there, oh he contrasts Canada with the "free, independent states of…" and it goes on and on.
Oh Jack. I'll miss hearing your ridiculous assertions the day after on the radio…wait, no I won't.

I had the privilege of gracing the airwaves of XM NHL Home Ice once again today to spend a few minutes dissecting the Canadiens 4-3 series loss to Boston. If you'd like to check out the discussion between Mick, Peter and myself, the audio is available here:

It was a hell of a series. Carey Price showed us what he can do. PK Subban is the real deal. Mike Cammalleri is Mr. Clutch, and he definitely deserves a letter.
Scott Gomez may have played his last game as a Montreal Canadien - they just need to figure out where to send him.
How much will this roster change?

Price. Gionta. Cammalleri.
Phenomenal rushes by PK Subban.
And a couple of very, very key powerplays.

People always talk about a year, but what a difference a week makes. A week ago, Canadian teams were 5-0. Now, both are facing elimination.
The Montreal Canadiens may hit the ice tomorrow minus James Wisniewski and David Desharnais, two offensive spark plugs who have been solid these playoffs. 2010 saw the Habs go 5-1 in elimination games. Can they do it again?
You might say the Habs have the Bruins right where they want them.

Carey Price borrows a very apt phrase from the Boston Red Sox. Time to get back to business.
Easter Holidays and family fun are getting in the way of regular blogging this weekend, so a very brief synopsis of tonight's game:

About The Upper Canadien
The Upper Canadien is your one stop shop for all things Montreal Canadiens. Since the summer of 2010, I've been providing Habs related news, notes, and most importantly, opinions. As a blogger, I don't believe it's my job to report the news, it's my privilege to comment on it. You may disagree with what I suggest. In fact, you most likely will. But that's the great part about blogging: it spurs opinion, comment and engages all involved. I've really enjoyed all the debate and commentary from readers thus far and I encourage everyone to respond with ideas on lineups, trades, logos, sweaters, mascots, whatever. The Upper Canadien is a conversation for all hockey fanatics.
I've come to Kukla's Korner with four years of campus radio and three years of sportswriting from my time at Mount Allison University on Canada's East coast. Not only do I not have any professional journalistic training, after five years in the corporate world, I've spent much of the past two years completing an MBA. Business by day, hockey by night, I'm a Canadiens fan through and through. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I do writing.
