A second report, written by University of Cambridge researchers and published in conjunction with the University of Toronto paper, was less circumspect, saying that the attacks against the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (OHHDL) were launched by "agents of the Chinese government". The Cambridge team titled their report, 'The Snooping Dragon'.
The analysts' research started after they were granted access to computers belonging to Tibet's government in exile, Tibetan nongovernmental organisations and the private office of the Dalai Lama, which was concerned about the leak of confidential information, according to the report.
They found computers infected with malicious software that allowed remote hackers to steal information. The computers became infected after users opened malicious attachments or clicked on linked leading to harmful websites.
The websites or malicious attachments would then try to exploit software vulnerabilities in order to take control of the machine. In one example, a malicious email was sent to a Tibet-affiliated organisation with a return address of '[email protected]' with an infected Microsoft Word attachment.
As the analysts probed the network, they found that the servers collecting the data were not secured. They gained access to control panels used to monitor the hacked computers on four servers.
Those control panels revealed lists of infected computers, which went far beyond the Tibet government and NGOs. Three of the four control servers were located in China, including Hainan, Guangdong and Sichuan. One was in the US, the report said. Five of the six command servers were in China, with the remaining one in Hong Kong.
The University of Toronto report classified close to 30 percent of the infected computers as being 'high-value' targets. Those machines belong to the ministry of foreign affairs of Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Latvia and the Philippines. Also infected were computers belonging to the embassies of Cyprus, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malta, Pakistan, Portugal, Romania, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
International groups infected included the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) secretariat, SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) and the Asian Development Bank; some news organisations such as the UK affiliate of the Associated Press; and an unclassified NATO computer.
GhostNet's existence highlights a need for urgent attention to information security, the analysts wrote. "We can safely hypothesise that it [GhostNet] is neither the first nor the only one of its kind."
The Cambridge researchers predict that these highly targeted attacks bundled with sophisticated malware - they call them 'social malware' - will become more prevalent in the future. "Social malware is unlikely to remain a tool of governments," they write. "What Chinese spooks did in 2008, Russian crooks will do in 2010."
While F-Secure has seen only a few thousand of these attacks so far, they are already a problem for corporate users in the defense sector, Hypponen said. "We're only seeing this right now on a minuscule scale," he said. "If you could take techniques like this and do it on a massive scale, of course that would change the game."

Arial view of Tekra
Favorite thing: There are about 200,000 residents packed into the slum area of Tekra (green polygon). Even in the slums you can see a sort of stratification of society. The further you go into the city the smaller the makeshift houses become. The poorest residents make a living collecting trash and taking them to a consolidator who will sell the rumaged goods to become recycled. Many of the kids do this all day and don't have time to go to school. There were some pot makers and seamstresses, taxi driver, day laborors that we met. Coming from the US, it took me a couple days to become used to the environment, but after awhile I became confortable after making some friends. Children were quite happy when at play and I saw how important how establishing community centers were for the social well being of a community. Since I had only been there a couple weeks, I was advised not to drink the water there and some of the kids ran out to the closest store to get us bottled water.
You can also find a few goats and cows milling about.
Fondest memory: "Tekra" means "The Hill". Much like slum areas of any big city (Ahmedabad is the 6th biggest city in India), it started as an area where squatters set up land. The area is technically government owned land. There doesn't seem to be much of a social infrastructure in India to dole out welfare or give much social services, so NGOs like Manav Sadhna take resposnibilty to help out. At the time I went ( Dec 2005), there was a community center being built, a guild of trash collectors being organized, Malaria, Tetnus and other disease education as well as a daily food program going on.
You can see the Manav Sadhna headquarters(red circle) located next to the Gandhi Ashram (blue circle)on the Sabramati River.

Title: 'Social Capital and Oral Health in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing - ELSA'
Speaker: Patrick Rouxel
Date & Time: Friday 16th March 1pm-2pm
Venue: G37 & G38
Strengthening good health and preventing disease are important strategies for 'Healthy Ageing". Oral health is an important part of general health and is essential to well-being. An extensive literature has revealed that social capital, a key social determinant, has an important influence on health. Access to social capital may enable older people to maintain productive independent and fulfilling lives. However, few studies have examined the association between social capital and oral health, and most studies have focused on younger age groups. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the flourishing literature on social capital by investigating whether a network approach of social capital is associated with oral health among older adults in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA).
As a first step, this study sets out to explore the association between positive and negative exchanges and oral health, and identify which types of social relationship are more influential. Future work will explore how both structural and cognitive social capital change over time, and investigate changes in oral health and social capital between ELSA wave 3 (2006-07) and wave 5 (2010-11).
Patrick Rouxel graduated in dentistry from University René Descartes, Paris V, France. Through volunteering and working on community development projects in Brazilian slums, he developed an interest in public health. In Brazil he also gained a specialization in Dental Public Health at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and in 2010 completed with distinction an MSc in Dental Public Health from UCL.

Award recognizes lifetime achievement in reactor safety.

Shinawatra's £81.6m takeover yesterday cleared the Eastlands of £60m worth of debts and saw him secure 55.9 per cent of its shares.
He is aiming to eventually gain 75 per cent of the shares and put in an immediate £50m for players.
Shinawatra believes that City are now in an even better position than United who are saddled with debts of around £500m following the unpopular takeover by the Glazer family in June 2005.
Shinawatra said: "In business if you have too much debt, you have to fund it with the operating income.
"That is not good for a club. To rid yourself of the debt is much better."
And the Thai insisted: "We will take this club back up the league. We will market it to make it as big in Asia as Manchester United or Liverpool. And I'm dreaming of a trophy in my first season here."

05 December 2013 14:42 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Germany-based chemicals producer BASF said on Thursday that it has agreed to sell its Vinuran PVC modifier business to the Belgian subsidiary of Japan-based chemicals producer Kaneka Corporation.
The deal includes intangible assets and inventory, but does not include production assets or employees in BASF's Ludwigshafen, Germany, headquarters.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, the company added, subject to regulatory approval. Financial details were not disclosed.
Unit materials are set to be produced at Kaneka Belgium and/or its Kaneka Modifiers Deutschland subsidiary, based in Wesseling, Germany, according to Kaneka.
BASF said that the unit is not core to its strategy for its acrylate modifier business, and will focus on the growth of its acrylate-based dispersions portfolio following the divestment.
Kaneka said that it had realigned polyvinyl chloride modifiers as part of its core business, and is looking to further expand its acrylic-based modifier operations in Europe.

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has found the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) lacking in giving a correct picture about the health condition of former Satyam Computers chairman B. Ramalinga Raju who continues to abstain from court proceedings of the company.
A special court here which perused a letter received from NIMS where Mr. Raju is undergoing treatment for Hepatitis-C infection on Thursday asked the CBI to explore alternatives to commence the trial in the Satyam Computers fraud since the hospital had stated he could not be shifted from hospital for another four to six weeks. The court directed the CBI to explain on March 18 the legal position as to how the agency wished to go ahead with prosecution under the circumstances. NIMS authorities informed the court that Mr. Raju required a further four to six weeks to recover from the side effects of treatment. It was not advisable to take him outside the hospital as he ran a high risk of contacting severe infection due to "much below normal white blood corpuscle count."
The prosecution, however, challenged the correctness of the letter stating that the hospital had recommended six to eight weeks of in-patient treatment for Mr. Raju when he was admitted early December. After three-and-a-half months, an extension of stay was sought with the sole aim to delay the trial.
CBI counsel Balla Ravindranath argued that the health condition of Mr. Raju was not bad as not to shift him to court.
Two charge-sheets
The court which is set to examine all the accused in the case for allegations mentioned against them in two separate charge-sheets also posted for March 18 the petition of Mahindra Satyam (new company) management to unlock record rooms that were sealed by the CBI.

Quick Tips
Protect yourself from Internet and email scams by keeping your private information secure. At Regents Bank, your privacy is very important to us. That's why we want to let you know about an email scam on the Internet called "phishing" (pronounced "fishing") a technique fraudsters use to lure online consumers to fake corporate websites through links sent via email.
The message in the email often warns consumers that their account will be closed if their information is not updated or "verified." The links within the email are often pointed to web forms that ask for bank account information, such as routing numbers, account numbers, PIN numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers.
It is Regents Bank's policy to not send or request confidential account information through email because it is not a secure form of communication. You should never enter private, personal information in a form that was sent to you by email.
Here are a few ways you can protect yourself from Internet and email fraud (phishing):
Never click on links in unexpected emails that request confidential information. If updates to information are needed, always type the address for the institution's website into your browser.
Before submitting confidential information through forms, make sure that you are using a secure Internet connection. There are two ways of determining if your connection to a website is secure. First, look at the address bar at the top of your browser. If the website address begins with "https://", then you have established a secure connection, but if it begins with "http://", then the connection is NOT secure. Second, look for a "lock" icon in your browser's status bar at the bottom right hand corner of your browser. The lock verifies that your connection to the website is secure.
Make sure that you have installed and run updated anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Both viruses and spyware can leave your computer vulnerable to attack and intrusion. Anti-virus and anti-spyware software will keep your computer safe from malicious software that might have installed itself or may try to install itself on your computer. Anti-virus & anti-spyware software is especially important if you are using a broadband Internet connection like DSL, cable or satellite.
Install a Firewall, either software or hardware. A firewall will prevent attacks on your computer through the Internet by determining if a requested connection is malicious or not. A firewall is especially important if you are using a broadband Internet connection like DSL, cable or satellite.
Keep your Internet browser, anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall up to date by visiting the manufacturer's website and checking regularly for software and security upgrades.
Review and monitor your checking account, debit card, credit card statements and your credit report regularly to be sure all transactions are legitimate.
Watch for misspelling or grammatical errors on forms requesting confidential information. Hackers often make errors while rushing to get bogus websites in place. If something doesn't look right, there is a good chance that it's not.
Regents Bank will NEVER request a customer's personal information (bank card number, account number, social security number, personal identification number or password) through email or by phone. If you should ever receive an email or phone call requesting your personal, confidential information that appears to be from Regents Bank, DO NOT respond and contact the Bank immediately at 866.395.4100.

General description: La Petite France, StrasbourgPetite France is at the corner of the main island; Grande Île. Here the river splits into many little canlas and swirls around the picturesque half timbered houses.
Tourist quarter
Petite France offers everything a tourist could want. It is filled with hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops. The area is incredibly photogenic and it is worth taking your camera for an excursion along the cobbled streets.
Historical district
The baroque sandstone buildings give the quarter a historic feel. However a lot has changed since the middle ages when it was a district full of slaughter and tanning houses.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Number Sixteen
16 Sumner Place, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Kensington
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Number Sixteen is either the coziest boutique hotel in London, or the most luxurious bed and breakfast—we're still not sure. The location, down a sleepy side street in South Kensington, is fairly well hidden; just a row of nineteenth-century Victorian townhouses without so much as a sign to show the way. If you intend to bring the party back to your room at the end of the night, then there are many more suitable (and more flashy) hotels around town—Number Sixteen is notable for its comfort and its quiet charm.
Interiors avoid an excess of clichéd Englishness, mixing the usual antiques with modern artworks and muted contemporary colors. The result is chic without being precious, and the overriding birds-and-butterflies theme is unique, though perhaps an odd choice. Rooms vary from typical London size (rather small) to surprisingly large, and all are luxuriously outfitted with big comfortable beds and top-quality linens. Some rooms come with balconies, and the views vary as well, looking over either Sumner Place or the meticulously kept gardens and conservatory around back. There's no restaurant, though room service is available twenty-four hours a day, and the social void is filled by the hotel's library and drawing room, where travelers huddle round the fireplace or the honor bar, according to taste.
Though Number Sixteen isn't exactly nightlife central, there's plenty to like about the geographic situation—the nearest underground station will connect you directly with Heathrow, the West End and the theater and financial districts. Within walking distance are Hyde Park, Harrods and the Knightsbridge shops, and the Natural History and Victoria & Albert museums are steps away. Swinging? Not quite, but for those who cringe at the very mention of that most tiresome word, this place is nearly perfect.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability

we were not informed their was construction in progress. there were steps to our bathroom that were very difficult to negotiate late at night. No one came after front desk said they would send someone to get an extension cord for hair dryer which had no outlet in bathroom. Unhelpful with late check out. We have stayed at other Firmdale Hotels. Number Sixteen is not at their level.

Strengths: They had nice modulation to them, but other than that? From what I've read, they are cheap and take a fair beating.
Weaknesses: While the flex they had is probably not to bad when coupled with brakes other thatn the 7.0, the combo together makes for an uncomfortable ride when bombing down a hill. They seemed to have an unusual amount of vertical flex, and the 7.0 brakes are pieces, they had minimal flex, and very limited power.

They don't rust or corrode (except the little adjustment screws.) They haven't slipped around on my bars at all. They don't seem to reqire ANY maintenance or lubrication. They have developed a little slop, but what wouldn't after two years of steady use? I bought them 'cause I had about $40 bucks to spend on levers after building up my bike.

Bottom Line:
Boy was I ever wrong! These levers totally SUK. They are all plastic and as a result super flexible and require two fingers and a lot of force when descending the steep and technical. They rotate all over the bar. They are easily scratched up. My old XT levers were far superior and my new Avid Ultimate L levers and Supreme brakes totally rock. Finally dropped the coin and wished I'd done it a lot sooner.
The adjustment mechanism is nice. Big woop.
Do not buy the Avid levers -- you are wasting your money. I give 'em one flaming turd hoping that someone will stomp it out. Give a pair to your enemies for X-mass.

Much better feel and power than the Tektro levers I replaced! The modulation is still a little bit on/off, but I'm hoping that will change as things break in a bit. Adjustability is great, 3 different settings for pull, plus set screw for lever position adjustment.
The only thing bad I could say about them so far is that the lever perches are rather large, kind of limits your setup options on riser bars. Other than that, they look sweet, they're plenty light, and feel pretty sturdy. I guess time will tell. 5 flaming roadkills for these!

9/11 Truth
Powerful Petition for the 9/11 Truth Movement
Dear friends,
The 9/11 truth movement continues to make a difference. You can join in by reading the new 9/11 petition and signing at the link provided below. I was among the 100 signers of the original petition in 2004. I also helped to find three other prominent signers. You likely know that recently Van Jones, one of Obama's advisors, was pressured into resigning largely because he signed that 9/11 truth petition. He and a couple others now claim they regret signing it. A salon.com reporter tried to find others who felt similarly, yet found that almost all other signers they contacted (including me) "expressed their full-fledged support for the petition." (Story here)
911truth.org is the informative website which originally sponsored that petition. I am on their advisory board and very much appreciate this empowering organization of courageous, intelligent, level-headed individuals. The fact that their 9/11 truth petition finally made news headlines is a great sign. Hard truths are at first usually ignored, then denied, and finally accepted as truth. So we've moved past the ignore stage now into denial. I've copied the entire new 9/11 petition below and invite you all to sign it, so that we can move towards the final stage of acceptance as truth in this important movement.
I also most highly recommend watching the revealing six-minute video clip of Charlie Sheen asking the U.S. president tough questions on 9/11. You can view it at this link. And to learn about courageous translator Sibel Edmonds, who finally managed to legally evade the gag order placed on her for years, click here. Sibel has held clear evidence of fraud and manipulation regarding 9/11 by top U.S. politicians for years, yet a gag order was placed to keep her from revealing this incriminating evidence for reasons of "national security." For summaries of major media articles on her excellent work, click here. And her engaging blog is available here.
I don't know if you feel it, but I feel the whole world shifting and beginning to open to deeper truths and realities. It's an exciting time to be alive. Thanks for playing your part. Let's all do our best to bring the truth out on 9/11.
With best wishes,

2009 9/11 Truth Statement
We STILL Want Real Answers About 9/11
September 11, 2009
Click here to read and sign the original
On August 31, 2004, Zogby International, the official North American political polling agency for Reuters, released a poll that found nearly half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of those in New York state believed US leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and "consciously failed" to act. Of the New York City residents, 66% called for a new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or the New York Attorney General. Since that time, multiple professional polling organizations have obtained similar results in polls conducted nationally and internationally.
In 2004, 911truth.org assembled a list of notable Americans and family members of those who died who signed a 9/11 Statement, calling for "immediate public attention to unanswered questions that suggest that people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."
On the eighth anniversary of 9/11, we find ourselves asking these same questions and encountering the same resistance to transparency. The ensuing wars have destroyed countless lives, our civil liberties (including habeas corpus) are in tatters, posse comitatus is history, and our economy lies essentially in ruin. Meanwhile, thousands of 9/11 responders who rushed to stand with America in its time of need are now sick -- many dying -- from the exposure to toxins at Ground Zero, receiving inadequate medical help or compensation in return. Because this issue is as relevant as the day we issued this Statement in 2004, we now offer again the opportunity to endorse this call for answers, and join with those who have already taken a stand.
Within the last month, one of these original 12 questions has finally been answered:
Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?
Only now do we know why. Where is the national outcry we would expect had it been top story reported by the media, "liberal"or "conservative"?
Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?
Only now do we know why. Where is the national outcry we would expect had it been top story reported by the media, "liberal"or "conservative"?
Those who favor a thorough and unbiased accounting of the facts now number in the millions, from countries around the world and from across the political spectrum. 9/11 Truth is not and never has been a partisan issue and only by standing together can we approach truth and achieve the reconciliation that is necessary to our common good.
In closing, we pray and hope for the strength to approach this subject with wisdom and compassion so that we may heal from the wounds inflicted on that terrible day.

Tuesday's best NBA bet
Los Angeles at Boston -4 192
Suddenly the series has shifted, however slightly.
Los Angeles jumped out to another big lead in Game 5 and managed to hold on this time to crawl back into the series. Now things aren't looking so great for Boston.
It sounds more and more like Kendrick Perkins isn't going to be able to suit up again this year and the big news following Sunday's game was that Ray Allen left abruptly because one of his children had some sort of health concern. No other details were made available as the team tries to keep a lid on the story, which may not turn out to be a huge deal anyway.
Still, Boston hasn't looked good for long stretches over the last three games, finding itself in big holes before the team finally gets itself together. The Celtics aren't dominating the road to the free throw line anymore and don't seem to have the same defensive intensity that they showed in Boston – especially early in games.
That said home court means a world of difference to this team as we've seen throughout the playoffs and Paul Pierce is still carrying the club on his back.
The main issue Boston bettors should be concerned with is the way the Lakers are sharing the ball and getting secondary scoring. Los Angeles got 20 points from Lamar Odom, 19 from Pau Gasol, and 15 from Derek Fisher to go along with Kobe Bryant's 25 in Game 5. That's hard to defend no matter who you are or where you're playing.
Pick: Lakers
Re: NBA News and Notes June 17
Game 6, Lakers-Celtics
By Chris David
After blowing a 24-point lead and losing to the Celtics 97-91 in Game 4, most of the pundits wrote the Lakers off and expected them to fold on Sunday in the fifth installment of the NBA Finals.
It wasn't pretty on Sunday, but Los Angeles lived another day by capturing a 103-98 victory in Game 5. For the second straight game in the finals, the Lakers built an early double-digit lead in the first quarter and once again the team failed to hold it as well. After the first 12 minutes, Los Angeles led 39-22 but Boston rebounded quickly with a 30-16 second quarter and only trailed by three points (55-52) at the break.
For the first time in the series, head coach Phil Jackson made the right adjustments at the break and the Lakers responded with a 24-18 third quarter advantage, which gave the club a solid 79-70 lead heading into the final stanza.
Unfortunately, Jackson's team and their defense folded again in the fourth quarter. Boston trailed 97-95 with less than 40 seconds left as Paul Pierce brought the ball across halfcourt. Then, Kobe Bryant poked the ball away from Pierce and got it back from Lamar Odom which led to a clinching dunk.
Despite the key defensive stop, most would agree that Paul Pierce has defeated Kobe Bryant in the battle of the superstars after five games. The former Kansas Jayhawk standout has been aggressive on both ends of the floor and appears to be the likely choice for the Most Valuable Player of the finals. To Bryant's defense, he has faced double and triple-teams often, while Pierce hasn't faced much.
Pierce led all scorers with 38 points, including an eye opening 16-of-19 performance from the free throw line. Pierce also filled the stat sheet with eight assists and six boards. His All-Star performance was much needed, considering the other two thirds of Boston's Big Three were missing. Ray Allen (16) and Kevin Garnett (13) combined for 29 points on 10-of-24 shooting from the field.
Bryant paced the Lakers with 25 points but it was Pau Gasol (19 points, 13 rebounds) and Odom (20 points, 11 rebounds) who stepped up on the offensive end.
Odom and Gasol's success could be attributed to the absence of Kendrick Perkins. Boston's center was held out of Game 5 due to a strained left shoulder and he could miss the final two games as well. His status is still up in the air for Game 6 but according to Doc Rivers, it doesn't look good.
"I would say that would probably be doubtful," coach Rivers said before the game of Perkins returning to the floor for Game 6 at the Garden. "But I don't know."
Another Celtic, Ray Allen, could be in question for Game 6 as well. Allen left Staples Center immediately at the end of Game 5 due to a personal issue with one of his children.
Not only are Lakers fans happy, but the sportsbooks in Las Vegas are excited to see the best-of-seven series prolonged.
"It's been a great series. The best thing about the Lakers-Celtics series has been the volume and excitement generated from the two legendary franchises playing each other again. This matchup has attracted an entirely new sector of people to it, much like the way we get new players for horse racing during the Derby," said Station Casinos Race and Sports Director Micah Roberts.
Stations opened the Celtics as four-point favorites for Game 6, with the total at 192. The Lakers are 0-5 against the spread in the series despite winning two games.
Roberts added, "It's generally a good a thing for the book anytime the favorite wins but doesn't cover. I'd like to see the Lakers pull out a win in Game 6 just so I can watch a Game 7 and see what unfolds from a fans standpoint. From a booking standpoint, another game would be great just to take in more action."
Tip off for Game 6 is slated for 9:05 p.m. EDT, with ABC providing national coverage.
CD's Bonus Hits:
-- Kobe appears to be settling for jumpers, with Boston keeping him out of the paint. He's shot 14-of-40 the past two games for 42 points and has only made 13 trips to the line.
-- Prior to the Kevin Garnett trade, some gamblers could've purchased Boston as an 80/1 longshot at certain offshore outfits. People often forget that the Celtics went 24-58 in their previous season.
-- The ankle of Rajon Rondo appears to be worse than some expected. The second-year point guard put up 19 points and 23 assists in the first two games, while averaging 38½ minutes. Since getting his ankle rolled, he hasn't played over 22 minutes.
-- The Celtics have gone 47-7 straight up at home this year, which includes a 12-1 record (8-5 ATS) in this year's postseason. The lone postseason loss came against Detroit in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.
-- Boston hasn't lost back-to-back games at TD Banknorth Garden this year.
-- The 'under' has gone 3-2 in the first five games. The two games played in Los Angles with one-day breaks both saw the 'under' cash. When you combined travel and just one more day of rest, Game 6's total of 192 might be a tad high.
-- The Lakers have owned the first quarter in the last two games, outscoring the Celtics 35-14 and 39-22. However, Boston has closed better in the final 12 minutes with advantages of eight (26-18) and four points (28-24).
-- After putting up 20 points in Game 3's victory, the Lakers Sasha Vujacic has responded with a combined seven points on 3-of-19 shots in the last two games.
-- No team (0-for-28) has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals and no club has ever won both Game 6 and 7 on the road since the NBA switched to a 2-3-2 format in 1985.
Re: NBA News and Notes June 17
(1) L.A. Lakers (14-6, 10-9-1 ATS) at (1) Boston (15-10, 13-12 ATS)
The Lakers, who kept their season alive with a close home victory in Game 5, now go back to the TD Banknorth Garden for another elimination game against the Celtics, who will get their second chance to secure their 17th NBA title.
Los Angeles held on for a 103-98 home victory Sunday night, but again failed to cover, this time as a 7½-point chalk. Boston's Big Three of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen combined for 67 points – with Pierce going off for 38 – but no other Celtic reached double figures, while the Lakers had five players in double figures, led by Kobe Bryant's 25 points.
Los Angeles, which blew a 24-point lead in losing Game 4, was up by 19 in the second quarter before again allowing Boston to claw its way back into the game. The Celtics trailed by just three at halftime and actually took the lead in the fourth quarter.
Boston, which was 8-12 ATS in the playoffs entering this series, has cashed in every game against the Lakers and is on a 6-0 ATS run overall. Meanwhile, L.A. is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10.
The Celtics are now 5-2 SU and 7-0 ATS against the Lakers this season; prior to this stretch, the Lakers were on a 7-1 ATS run in this storied rivalry. Finally, the underdog is on a 4-0 spread-covering streak in this playoff series.
Despite their recent woes, the Lakers are 21-9-1 ATS in their last 30 road games and carry additional positive ATS streaks of 10-3 as an underdog of less than five points, 13-4-2 as a road pup, 9-3-1 overall when catching points and 11-4-1 after a SU win. On the downside, L.A. is 0-9-1 ATS in its last 10 NBA Finals games, 0-6 ATS in its last six against the Atlantic Division, and 0-8 ATS in its last eight against the Eastern Conference.
The Celtics are on a 7-2 ATS run and sport further pointspread streaks of 7-0 against the Pacific Division, 14-2 against the Western Conference, 14-5 at the Garden and 27-11-1 following a spread-cover. The C's lone negative: a paltry 3-12 ATS mark in their last 15 as a home chalk of less than five points.
The "under" trends run deep for Los Angeles, including 8-2 overall, 6-0 on one day of rest, 7-1 as an underdog (5-1 as a playoff pup), 7-3 on the highway and 39-19 coming off a SU win. Likewise, for Boston, the under is on streaks of 5-0 after allowing 100 or more points, 5-1 on one day of rest and 5-1 as a playoff chalk of less than five points, but the over is 5-2 in the Celtics' last seven on the parquet floor.
Finally, Game 5 sailed over the posted price of 192, but the under is still 3-2 in the Finals (1-1 in Boston).
Re: NBA News and Notes June 17
NBA Finals Gameday
The Los Angeles Lakers are still trailing the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, but they're also still alive as the series heads back to the east coast for Tuesday's Game 6.
Facing elimination in Game 5 on Sunday night the Lakers exploded for 39 first-quarter points to take an early 17-point lead on the Celtics. Once again, though, Boston was able to fight back and close the gap - they outscored the Lakers by 30-16 margin in the second quarter and trailed only by three points when the teams headed into the break.
This time, however, the Lakers managed to make their lead stand up. Los Angeles limited Boston to just 18 points in the third quarter, and they held on for a 103-98 victory. The Lakers still trail the best-of-seven set 3-2, but at least the Celtics didn't celebrate on their court.
Kobe Bryant scored a team-high 25 points in the victory for the Lakers, and the star guard contributed seven rebounds and four assists as well. Lamar Odom was good for 20 points and 11 boards on the night, while Pau Gasol picked up 19 points and 13 rebounds. Derek Fisher poured in 15 points, and Jordan Farmar added 11 off the bench.
Paul Pierce poured in a game-high 38 points in a losing cause for Boston, adding six rebounds and eight assists to his stats line as well. Ray Allen had 16 points in the contest, while Kevin Garnett scored 13 points and picked up 14 rebounds. Rajon Rondo was largely ineffective in the defeat; he was held to three points on just 1-of-7 shooting.
Rondo, in fact, played just over 14 minutes in the contest as he tries to overcome his ankle injury. Celtics center Kendrick Perkins missed Game 5 completely because of a strained shoulder, and he's listed as questionable to play in Game 6 on Tuesday night. Leon Powe started in Perkins' place Sunday night, but he played just under five minutes.
The Lakers had been listed as big home favorites for the third straight contest on Sunday night, but once again they failed to cover that big spread. Los Angeles was pegged as a 7.5-point home favorite in Game 5, the same spread they were given in Game 4. Back in Game 3 the Lakers were listed as an even bigger favorite - 9.5 points.
In fact, the Celtics might only be up 3-2 in the series right now, but they're 5-0 against-the-spread heading into Game 6 on Tuesday. Boston was listed as a 3-point home underdog in Game 1, and they managed to cover a small 1-point home line in Game 2.
Bettors taking the OVER on Sunday got the win - the combined score managed to get past the posted total of 193 points. The previous two games in Los Angeles had both been UNDER results, while the teams went 1-1 on the OU in Boston. Posted totals for the series have ranged from 190.5 to 195.5 with each team struggling to get to the 100-point plateau - the Lakers have done it twice, and the Celtics have reached it just once.
The oddsmakers like the Celtics' chances of wrapping up the NBA Finals at TD Banknorth Garden in Game 6 - they were opened as 4-point favorites. The total for the game opened at 192 points. If the Lakers do manage to stave off elimination again on Tuesday the teams will stay in Boston for a seventh and deciding contest on Thursday.
Re: NBA News and Notes June 17
NBA Today
L.A. Lakers at Boston (9 p.m. EDT). The Lakers defeated the Celtics in Game 5 on Sunday night to cut their NBA finals deficit to 3-2.
Boston will be playing its record-setting 26th game this postseason Tuesday night in Game 6 of the NBA finals against the Lakers, leading the series 3-2.
The Lakers are trying to become the first team in NBA finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a title. Los Angeles cut the Celtics' lead to 3-2 with Game 6 in Boston on Tuesday night.
Boston center Kendrick Perkins missed Game 5 of the NBA finals with a shoulder injury and is not expected to be ready for Game 6. ... The prognosis for Yao Ming's left foot is ``very good,'' but it remains uncertain whether the Rockets' center will be cleared to play in time for a pre-Olympics tournament, his agent said Monday.
Television ratings for the NBA finals Sunday were up from the last time the series went five games. The Lakers' 103-98 win over Boston averaged a 10.1 fast national rating on ABC, the network said Monday. That's an 11 percent increase over the 9.1 for Game 5 of the Dallas-Miami series in 2006.
Lawyers for the city of Seattle argued in court that the SuperSonics should stay at KeyArena until its lease expires in 2010. In his opening statement Monday, Seattle lawyer Paul Lawrence said the city only agreed to renovate the old Seattle Coliseum - now KeyArena - at a cost of more than $80 million in the mid-1990s because the team agreed to stay until 2010. Sonics owner Clay Bennett gained the league's approval to move the team to his hometown of Oklahoma City and is hoping to pay the city no more than $10 million in lost rent for the next two seasons.
Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller is hospitalized with health complications related to diabetes.
``It's going to be like coming into the Amazon, into the jungle. I look forward to coming home and playing.'' - Boston forward Kevin Garnett on returning home for Game 6 of the NBA finals against the Lakers on Tuesday night, leading the series 3-2.

Sulk-Sals Sketchbook of Kindy Hogwons Suck Out All Your Energy (8/19/11)
I should have started on of these back when I was still in college, but intimidation kept me from doing so. It's been two years since I graduated from University of the Arts and I hope to do this as a career. I hope to be a concept artist. Fist though, I must improve. I'll greatly appreciate any crits I get here. Thanks for taking a look at my book ^.^

I'll start with some older stuff (not terribly old, just from about second half of 2008 [I think]), just so there's a better idea of my history.
some sketches:
A demon and manticore design from the sketches above:
The samurai from the above sketch. It was originally for a ChoW but I misunderstood the brief and made her a kitsune. Still finished it up though.
A race I created just for practice called Eelavane
I've done the past few ChoWs, mostly to work myself up to posting a sketchbook, and I have to say I've been learning a good bit. I won't post the two complete and utter failures, but here are "Bowerstone" and "Female Sith Lord":
I hope to keep this updated, as well as to add some backgrounds (which I'm sure you can tell I'm very weak in) and some 3D work.

March 9th, 2009 #3
Some new work from this past week (gonna try posting these a bit smaller too)
I'll start with last weeks ChoW, the Queen Consort:
Next are some personal projects. Naar-La:
Naar-La's sword. I wanted to start getting into 3d again, and I figured I'd start with something basic like a sword. Texture to come later.
March 15th, 2009 #4
After getting a crit from daestwen and Chate Noire about my style working against me, and to try working without lines (varying widths or no lines, hard for me to wrap my head around the former though. Hard for me to be fluid), I came back to a style I used earlier. In UArts I worked in Illustrator till second half of Junior year. However, because I could never figure out how to use texture in my work, I decided to use ink and pencil at the crit of a fellow student. So, I thought I'd give it a try again. A small experiment:
And I'm going to do this, and the Chow this week in this style to see how it works. Any tips, crits, etc would be great ^.^
March 17th, 2009 #5
A thumbnail sketch for this weeks ChoW and Naaribula continued.
March 27th, 2009 #6
Too long since I've updated. Although I did have nice project for the past few weeks, but I've worked on these in my spare time. None of these is even remotely finished.
I'm still worried about texture, but I'll worry about that when I come to it. Thanks for taking a look at my work.
April 1st, 2009 #7
I feel like I need something more, something is missing but...meh, must work more. Need to upload some actual sketches too. next time.
May 23rd, 2009 #8
Bleh, way too long since I last posted. At least I was somewhat productive. Did find the thing I was missing though. Thanks for looking at my sketchbook.
May 30th, 2009 #9
This weeks ChoW: The zombie slayer!
May 30th, 2009 #10
I like the style you have going, the blockiness and the thick black line art. I envy your imagination too. These are fantastic creatures. Naar-La is awesome! I like her humanoid form better, something feline about the face that is more appealing. You're very creative and I envy that, I just think you would benefit from knowing the underlining volumes and anatomy better. When you're sketching in pencil you are already worrying with the finished style. Maybe you should worry with making a correct and consistently 3D figure and then apply your style to that.
The Following User Says Thank You to Leonor For This Useful Post:
June 21st, 2009 #11
Leonor - Thanks! That's something I got to work on. I can copy well enough from reference, but understanding the form is a different story. I went and found some Loomis books online, need to get sketching from those.
So this time I'll begin with sketches:
ChoW 163: I did Pakhet
I also decided I need to work on actual faces so I took some pics I had of some friends and tried it. The sketches (and the reference) suck but I learned a lot.
Then just for fun I tried a new character I'm developing. She's the same race as Naar-La, just a different ethnic group.
And I am also a WoW dork, so a project I'm working on involving my characters (or at least the two I've had the longest).
The human seems way too small, even set next to a Draenei. I'll have to make her taller so she doesn't seem like a child.

Besides being almost two years since I last posted, it's been quite a long time since I even made a finished illustration. It has been time well spent though.
I chased a love I left behind when I was younger. It took too long to go after her, but two years and 12,000 kilometers later I have married the woman of my dreams. Now though my job is sufficient to care for our needs, I would like a better career (being a kindy hogwon teacher is so draining). Still, enough slacking and time to get to work. I can hopefully update a lot more often.
Then again, anything will be more often than 2 years ㅋㅋㅋ
(Korean practice drawings are from "Korean Art Book" and since I can't read Korean yet the information needs to stop there)
April 22nd, 2011 #14
I'm trying to design the image more, and to create more of a finished illustration. I'm also hoping to introduce more elements of Korean art in my work. A simple piece to get me back into the groove, lets hope things get better ^.^
April 22nd, 2011 #15
Hey man congratz on making your Sketchbook. You wont regret it, and I think you'll find that its really not intimidating at all As long as you can take criticism of course. If you dont, then you gota learn to love it. My first impression of your stuff is just that you need to study gesture! It will open new doors for you definitely. I recommend the video lectures of Vilppu. Also, how much of this work is recent?

April 22nd, 2011 #16
Hi Malakuko, Thanks for the crit. I know i've been too simplistic in my poses and that it's truly something I need to look at. I'll take a look at the lectures as well. As for what's recent, just the last two posts. I figured I had a sketchbook so I might as well just use the one I had
June 1st, 2011 #17
A few more sketches and drawings. A failed illustration in which I learned quite a bit. Also a design of one of my characters that I draw a little too often.
Think I'm just going to devote my time to study and design for the next few months. Next update I'll have some life studies.
June 27th, 2011 #18
Some sketches from photos in magazines and some studies in pen. A slight Mucha study as well. Some of the elements are very interesting. I'm also trying to see how I want to work. I keep switching back and forth between styles and since I consider my line work to be a bit strong (though if it is...that's for others more skilled than I to judge) I would like to use it.
However I have a problem with "muddy colors" and I'm just not sure how to approach it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm approaching shadows differently by placing cool colors with them instead of just a flat layer of black across the whole thing like I used to.
It escapes me however if my colors are bad because of there being too large a plane of color and the eye compensating, or if the colors I'm placing together are poor matches, or if just all the color is a poor match.
Any crits are greatly appreciated.
July 5th, 2011 #19
A few studies as well as a drawing. I know the Loomis study sucks, I'll be taking much great care (and perhaps larger) for the next ones.
Also tried a drawing of my wife as well as another color experiment.
July 5th, 2011 #20
Thank you very much for your visit and yes you're right, proportion is definitely a weakness of mine because i'm always just eyeballing it instead of really taking the time to compare measurements! will focus on that more!
also, you've got some really nice stuff there too, i especially like the last update, very good studies - the ribcage looks yummy - and i totally dig how you did the portrait! i'm not so fond of the creature/robot stuff as a subject itself but your lines do look really good and clean, so keep at it
Life is a cookie
come take a look -> sketchbook
July 18th, 2011 #21
moving.pictures - Thanks! The portrait was an interesting experiment, so I'll have to try more with it! And those ribs were insane.
A few more bone studies. So much to brush up on, so little time...
August 18th, 2011 #22
And some new studies, including a drawing which is being prepped for an illustration. I took a look at the composition talks though TAD and want to put it into practice.
trying to do more from life too.
December 13th, 2011 #23
Lovely works, great studies, and i like your clean style it makes your work very readable.
What could help you a bit is imo. trying a bit more of these kind of drawing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUM3SHNCfpM
These guys is calling it drawing like a painter. These kind of drawing could help you just to brake the routine of making your works to linear - be aware of getting to much into routine!
December 21st, 2011 #24
That's actually really cool. I've started trying it out, gotta see where it leads!

2002 BEST Children's Clothing, Affordable
Fish Kids
Unless your child has a contract with Kix, you probably don't dress him in expensive outfits destined to wear more cereal than he digests. Miniature linen suits and raw-silk dresses have their place, but shorts that can survive the sandbox and tees that don't need to be dry-cleaned are what most parents are after. The racks at Fish Kids are filled with just that—"better everyday clothing" by European makers such as Catimini, Cakewalk, and Confetti. There are even 125 different styles of shoes from brands including Buckle My Shoe and Aster. Overwhelmed? Owner Donna Fishman knows her stock—and her clientele—and can fill Junior's closet without spending his college savings.

A rich tradition of athletic success. Winning is in our DNA. And the pursuit of excellence is in the blood of each and every Hoosier student-athlete. It's these truths that have given us an impressive tradition of competitive success and accolades--including among the most team and individual national championships, All-Americans and Olympians in the country.
Coaching. Our beloved former President Herman B Wells understood that faculty would make Indiana University a world-class institution of higher education. Similarly, we understand that coaches make Indiana University a national leader in intercollegiate athletics. That's why we actively recruit, retain and support the best coaches for all of our 24 sports.
Athletic performance resources. Our Excellence Academy provides every IU student-athlete with the resources necessary to reach his or her absolute highest athletic potential.
The Excellence Academy integrates:
Each student-athlete is provided with a comprehensive, personalized and effective approach to athletic performance improvement, health, safety and wellness. Through partnerships with the IU Department of Kinesiology, the academy also integrates biomechanics and motor learning to provide individual assessments and improvement plans for our student-athletes and coaches.
Facilities. Competitive facilities are vital to any successful collegiate athletic program. We at Indiana University Athletics are committed to developing and providing facilities that honor our traditions and enable our student-athletes to train and compete at the highest echelon.
Fan support. A critical component of IU's athletic success, fans keep our teams energized and help us generate revenue for IU. That's why we engage in vigorous, innovative marketing for all of our programs.
