Magic look to tie series
By Josh Jacobs
When we think or Orlando we think of Dwight Howard's double-double figures and Hedo Turkoglu's deadly three-point range. But on Wednesday, it was the Rashard Lewis' of the world that helped put the Magic back on the map.
Orlando's Lewis contributed a career playoff-high 33 points in Game 3, helping his team outmatch Detroit by the final of 111-86. Covering the five-point spread was a breeze and total players on the 'over' breathed a sigh of relief when the Magic put together a 38-point fourth quarter effort, pushing the final score to a total of 197 (most books closed the door at 187).
And it wasn't just Lewis who donated his talent on the floor. With an Orlando squad who ranked fifth in league, shooting 47.4 percent from the field during the regular season, starters and bench player alike supplied a constant flow of accurate shots.
The Magic finished the evening off shooting a laser guided 53.8 percent from the hardwood. Mix in 11 made three pointers in 24 attempts (45.8%) and Orlando emerged with lethal accuracy from all spots on the court.
Orlando logged in 111 points in Game 3, veering not far from the 105.3 PPG that the team has scored in three wins versus Detroit this season (including the playoff victory on Wednesday). This perfuse scoring drops off when taking four defeats into account. Orlando is averaging only 95.1 PPG in the seven games against the Pistons, with 97.5 PPG originating from regular season.
Detroit has allowed 5.2 PPG more then its seasonal average (90.1 PPG) versus Orlando in the postseason. But if we remove ourselves from the head-to-head matchup analysis for a moment, we can see that the Pistons are still top heavy on 'D', ranked second with 87.9 PPG allowed throughout the playoffs. Allowing a 31 three point percentage speaks volumes in itself.
During the season, Detroit was credited with an 'under' record of 45-3-1. While five of nine games has dipped 'under' the total set by books this postseason, many bettors can't equate this to the same success during the regular season. However, it's in agreement that backers can't argue the Pistons' 6-3 against the spread record.
One concern for the Pistons' is fellow teammate Chauncey Billups' (15.8 PPG, 5.7 APG) status for Game 4 after straining his hamstring in an awkward fall on the court. Taking precautionary measures, the team scheduled out an MRI to be performed on Thursday with results still pending. Billups finished the regular season with 17 PPG and 6.8 APG.
Detroit entered the playoffs with one of the best home ATS records versus teams with a winning record (over .500). The teams' 16-6 ATS performance in this situation has given way for many backers to continue wagering on the Pistons.
The Magic have been able to register higher numbers in '07-08 on total plays. With most books listing the last three games anywhere from 189 ½ down to 185, Orlando has seen the total go 'over' that 185 mark for a high 89 percent of the time. While the numbers drop significantly (as expected), the Magic have been firing 'over' 200 points (total combined score) 49 percent of the time and finally 'over' 210 only 38 percent. The moral of this story is that the Magic's 104.5 PPG overall this season has given rise to a decent percentage of 'over' games (given that Orlando is an Eastern Conference team of course).
While books haven't installed an opening line as of Thursday, Orlando is 5-5 ATS this season when the spread has been set from 3 ½ to six points at home. If the line is adjusted a half point up this time around, it's worth noting that the Magic are 8-5 ATS at home with the spread ranging from 6 ½ to nine.
Giving up 111 points in Game 3 was the first time that Detroit surrendered triple-digit figures throughout the playoffs (the only who was hadn't allowed 100-plus points in the playoffs).

Lakers-Jazz, Game 3
By Chris David
The NBA playoffs continue Friday from Salt Lake City as the Jazz hope to bounce back against the Lakers at Energy Solutions Arena. Los Angeles opened up a commanding 2-0 lead against Utah by capturing a 120-110 decision in Game 2 on Wednesday.
L.A. still remains the only team left in the playoffs that hasn't suffered a loss but all that could change in Game 3. The Jazz have been listed as four-point favorites for the third installment.
Gamblers face tough decisions for this contest, considering you can argue either way for both clubs in this spot.
Let's take a closer look at why the Jazz or the Lakers could present value.
Reasons to bet the Jazz (-4) in Game 3:
-- Utah owns a league-best 39-5 straight up and 28-13 against the spread mark at home.
-- The Jazz have outscored teams by 14 points per game (108-94) from Salt Lake City this year.
-- Most would expect the second-best shooting team (49.7%) in the league to step up at home, especially after only connecting on 37 and 44 percent clips in the first two battles against the Lakers.
-- Jerry Sloan's team was within striking distance in both Game 1 and 2, but just couldn't make a clutch shot in the fourth quarter.
-- Despite losing the pair at Staples Center, the Jazz dominated the glass in Game 1 (58-41) and won the battle in Game 2 (41-37) as well.
-- Forward Carlos Boozer hasn't played up to his ability at all, finishing Game 2 with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting. The former Duke standout averaged 22 PPG and 12.6 against the Lakers during the regular season.
-- Defensively, Utah only allowed 89 PPG at home in the first round albeit against Houston.
-- Teams trailing 0-2 in this year's playoffs have been decent in Game 3, especially at home. The host has notched a 5-2 record both SU and ATS in the seven instances.
-- Sticking with that trend, Utah faced 0-2 deficits twice in last year's postseason. In the first round, it defeated Houston 81-67 in Game 3 at home and then crushed San Antonio 109-83 in Game 3 in the conference finals – again at home.
Reasons to bet the Lakers (+4) in Game 3:
-- L.A. is easily the most talented team playing in the postseason right now, winning five of its six games by double digits.
-- The Jazz don't have an answer for the league's Most Valuable Player, Kobe Bryant. He's averaging 36 PPG, 7 RPG and 6.5 APG in the series.
-- The Lakers have won and covered seven of their last eight games against the Jazz, including two of the last three trips to Salt Lake City.
-- Los Angeles defeated Utah 106-95 on Mar. 20 as a six-point road underdog. The Lakers opened up a 38-18 lead after the first quarter and coasted behind 27 points from Kobe Bryant.
-- Favorites have posted an 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS mark in the second round of the playoffs. If you believe things will balance out, then why not take the top-seed plus the points.
-- The Jazz are 2-1 SU in the playoffs at home, but only 1-2 ATS.
-- L.A. won and covered both of its road trips to Denver.
Total Talk
-- After watching a combined 230 points in Game 2 jump 'over' the closing total of 211 points, oddsmakers have pushed the total on Friday's matchup to 215. Game 1 saw the combined 207 points barely slip 'under' the closing total of 212 1/2, but keep in mind that the two teams posted 24 points in the final two minutes due to intentional fouls and free throws.
-- The Jazz have posted 98 and 110 points in the two losses despite missing more shots than they've made.
-- Phil Jackson's squad has busted the century mark in 16 straight games, including all six postseason affairs.
-- Los Angeles has benefited from the free throw line in the first two matchups, taking 46 and 43 attempts from the charity stripe.
-- The 'under' has prevailed for both the Lakers (4-2) and the Jazz (5-3) at the counter more often than not in this year's playoffs.
-- Utah and Los Angeles have watched the 'over' go 11-5 in the previous 16 meetings.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 9
(1) L.A. Lakers (6-0 SU and ATS) at (4) Utah (4-4, 3-5 ATS)
The Lakers, who held court at home in Games 1 and 2 and who have yet to drop a playoff game, head to EnergySolutions Arena for Game 3 against the Jazz, who had the league's best regular-season home-court record (37-4) and are essentially in a must-win situation.
On Wednesday, Los Angeles built an early lead and kept Utah at arm's length most of the night in a 120-110 home victory as a 6½-point chalk. Newly minted league MVP Kobe Bryant led the way with 34 points for L.A., which has scored at least 102 points in 16 straight games and 22 of the last 23. The Lakers are on a 10-0 SU and 9-1 ATS run overall, cashing in each of the last eight games (including all six playoff contests.
Utah, which needed six games to get past Houston in the first round, is just 1-5 ATS in its last six starts (2-4 SU), with the one victory being a 113-91 rout of the Rockets as a 7½-point home favorite in the clinching Game 6 a week ago tonight. The Jazz have lost two straight games for the first time since late December, a stretch of 58 outings. They haven't dropped three in a row since a six-game losing skid that stretched from Dec. 4-Dec. 14 – the only time all season that Jerry Sloan's squad lost more than two straight contests.
Los Angeles is now 5-1 SU and ATS against Utah this year, including a current 4-0 SU and ATS run in which L.A. has won by double digits each time. The home team is on a 5-1 ATS run in this rivalry and is 9-3 SU and ATS in the last 12 battles overall, with the winning team cashing in each of those 12 contests. Finally, the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, with the one exception coming in the Lakers' last visit to Salt Lake City on March 20, when they beat Utah 106-95 as a six-point road 'dog.
The Lakers, who have won by double digits in five of six so far in the playoffs, are on positive pointspread runs of 6-0 in conference semifinal games, 6-0 against the Northwest Division (all in the playoffs), 8-0 against the Western Conference, 8-0 after a SU win, 24-9 after a spread-cover, 4-0 on one day of rest, 7-1 as a road underdog, 21-8-1 overall catching points and 35-16-1 in their last 52 on the highway. The lone negative note: Los Angeles is 1-4 ATS in its last five Friday outings.
The Jazz still carry several positive ATS trends, including 14-3-1 as a home chalk of less than five points, 6-0-1 as a playoff favorite of less than five, 6-2 overall giving points, 38-15-1 at home and 11-5 on one day of rest.
The over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings in this rivalry, with Game 2 soaring over the posted price of 210. Furthermore, the over is on streaks of 21-7 for Utah against the Pacific Division, 8-3 for as an underdog and 10-3 for L.A. on 13 Fridays. On the flip side, the under for Los Angeles is on runs of 4-1 overall, 4-1 on the highway, 4-1 after a SU win and 4-1 after an ATS win, and the under for Utah is 6-2 when going on one day of rest, 4-1 as a favorite of less than five points and 17-7 following a SU loss.

NBA Today
L.A. Lakers at Utah (9 p.m. EDT). The Lakers, who are the NBA's only unbeaten team in the postseason, look to take a 3-0 lead over the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals.
-Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, Spurs. Both scored 31 points to lead San Antonio to 110-99 victory over New Orleans.
LeBron James missed his first three tries and finished with 21 points on 6-for-24 shooting in Cleveland's 89-73 loss to Boston on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers shot 35.6 percent in the game, hitting just 11.8 percent in the second quarter as Boston turned an eight-point deficit into a nine-point lead. The Celtics have a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Chris Paul had 35 points and nine assists in New Orleans' 110-99 loss to San Antonio on Wednesday night. The Hornets still hold a 2-1 series lead.
Kobe Bryant added another honor Thursday to go with his MVP award, becoming the only unanimous selection to the All-NBA team. The Lakers star was voted to the first team for the third straight season and sixth time in his career. Joining Bryant on the first team were New Orleans guard Chris Paul, who was three votes shy of being a unanimous pick, along with Boston's Kevin Garnett, Cleveland's LeBron James and Orlando center Dwight Howard.
Kiki Vandeweghe became the New Jersey Nets' general manager Thursday, less than six months after being hired as a special assistant to team president Rod Thorn. Vandeweghe replaces Ed Stefanski, who left in midseason to become the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. The general manager's job is the second for Vandeweghe. He held the same position with the Denver Nuggets from August 2001 until the end of the 2005-06 season.
``He's got to be frustrated. He's such a good player. He puts so much on his shoulders.'' - Cavaliers guard Wally Szczerbiak on teammate LeBron James, after Cleveland's 89-73 loss to Boston on Wednesday night.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 9
Friday's best NBA bet
L.A. Lakers at Utah -4, 215½
How much does home-court advantage mean to the Utah Jazz? A ton, that's why they're favored in this spot after the Lakers ran them all over the court out on the West Coast.
Utah lost just five games at the EnergySolutions Arena all year, something the Lakers are well aware of.
"The crowd sits on top of the floor," Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson told reporters. "It's as noisy as anyplace you've ever been in. That energizes the team, and it intimidates the referees that go in there and referee the game. It's a tough environment to win in."
That environment should help the Jazz get out of the gate better after the club went into halftime trailing by double-digits in both of the first two games of the series. Whether that will be enough to slow down Los Angeles' showtime routine is another question all together.
Pick: Los Angeles
Re: NBA News and Notes May 9
Utah's Jerry Sloan wants a repeat of history
His Jazz team is down 2-0 in series to Lakers, but he can hark back to being in a similar situation as a player with Chicago in 1971.
The Lakers may have looked unbeatable in taking a 2-0 lead over Utah, but the best-of-seven series is far from over based on NBA playoff history. Just ask Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan or Las Vegas oddsmakers.
In 1971, Sloan was a veteran guard playing for the Chicago Bulls, who faced the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. With Gail Goodrich leading the way, the Lakers won the first two games in Los Angeles, but when the series moved to Chicago, Sloan helped lead the Bulls to consecutive victories.
Two wins at home for one team. Two wins at home for the other. It's a scenario that has happened numerous times over years in the postseason.
Las Vegas oddsmakers know this all too well. That's why Utah -- which had the best homecourt record in the league during the regular season -- is listed as a four-point favorite over the Lakers for tonight's Game 3 at EnergySolutions Arena.
Sloan's team has a couple of point-spread trends working in its favor.
The Jazz, which won 37 of 41 home games during the regular season, is 14-3-1 against the spread in its last 18 games as a home favorite of 4.5 points or fewer and 7-2-1 against the spread in its last 10 playoff games as a favorite overall.
The Lakers, who have won 10 consecutive games, have played very well when they haven't been favored this season. They are 7-1 against the spread in their last eight games as a road underdog and 21-8-1 against the spread in their last 30 games as an underdog overall.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 9
Utah looking for some home cooking
The Utah Jazz are in a must-win situation Friday night when they head back home to EnergySolutions Arena down 2-0 in Game 3 of their series versus the Los Angeles Lakers. A return home may be just what the Jazz need to get back into the series, as they boasted the best home record in the league this season at 37-4.
The Lakers took a 2-0 series lead with a 120-110 win as a 6.5-point favorite on Wednesday night. With the win the Lakers remained undefeated in the postseason, and they're also a perfect 6-0 ATS. Kobe Bryant received his MVP award on Wednesday night and went on to lead the Lakers with a game-high 34 point along with eight rebounds and six assists. Derek Fisher added 22 points against his former team, while Pau Gasol poured in 20 points.
Deron Williams led the Jazz with 25 points and 10 assists and Paul Milsap was strong off the bench with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Mehmet Okur had 16 points and Andrei Kirilenko added 14 points before both fouled out in the fourth quarter. Foul trouble was also a problem for Carlos Boozer, who rode the bench for most of the first half and finished the night with only 10 points. Utah played a foul-heavy game, as they sent the Lakers to the charity stripe 43 times. The Jazz only took 16 foul shots.
With the win on Wednesday night the Lakers are now 5-1 straight-up and 5-1 ATS this season. Despite the Lakers' dominance over the Jazz, Utah is a 4-point favorite at home in Game 3.
Re: NBA News and Notes May 9
Saturday's best NBA bets
Detroit at Orlando -5, 187
Things look bad for the Pistons as they prepare for another tough game in Orlando after taking a beating in Game 3 and losing their point guard in the process. Detroit didn't look like the same team that dominated in Detroit as they fell 111-86 to the Magic mainly because point guard Chauncey Billups left the game less than four minutes in with a strained hamstring.
That allowed Jameer Nelson to take the kind of role he did in the Magic's series against Toronto when the brawny point guard muscled his way into the heart of the defense and opened up shots for teammates on the perimeter. It's no coincidence Rashard Lewis had his best game, scoring 33 points and going 5-of-6 from three point range as Billups sat in on the sideline.
And from the sounds of things, it would be a minor miracle if Billups was back for Game 4. Without him, the Pistons will have to use either rookie Rodney Stuckey or Lindsey Hunter, neither of which can equal the physical presence or clutch shooting Billups brings to the position. This injury is the worst thing that could have happened to the Pistons at this point and it may cost them the lead in this series.
Pick: Magic
Boston at Cleveland -1, 176
Even though everyone else on the planet is writing off LeBron James and the Cavaliers, it would be foolish to believe that a guy who was up for MVP consideration this year is capable of continuing such a terrible shooting slump. LeBron is missing jumpers, layups, almost every shot he's attempted managed bounce out of the basket somehow.
But don't forget that every time these teams faced each other this season, the home team has won. The Cavaliers get a chance to climb back into this series with a game in their own barn, where they are 29-15 this year – and LeBron gets a chance to win back his reputation as a clutch performer.
Pick: Cavaliers

Transfer Photos from Camera to iPhone On Location (i.e. Not Home)
I found myself yesterday wanting to share a photo I had just took with a Nikon DSLR via Messenger, FB, etc. So, I was wondering how to get the photo from my camera to my iPhone while on location. I googled this from my iPhone, and came across a few options:
1. Eye-Fi: An SD Card that transfers photos from camera to iPhone through a built-in adhoc wi-fi network. Not bad, some neat features such as geotagging, but reading some reviews that the transfer rate is slow especially for high megapixel photos is concerning. Also, it draws its power from your camera battery. I already use up two camera batteries while shooting with standard SD cards. I'll still strongly consider this one.
2. AirStash: This multi-use device is essentially a USB flash drive with an SD card reader which becomes a wi-fi hotspot. This would solve my need, but it's another device to carry around and it has a non-replacable rechargeable battery, therefore its lifespan is limited by its battery life. Seems like the transfer rate is pretty quick though, and you can use it as a wi-fi hotspot for streaming media from the sd card to multiple devices. Nifty, but the limited lifespan and having to maintain a third device throws me off.
2. Zoomit: An SD Card Reader that connects to the iPhone's Dock Connector. Perfect, it's small, no maintance, and just what I had in mind! BUT it seems that this product is obsolete and no longer works with the latest iOS. Why???
3. Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit: This would also be perfect for my situation, but this product is only compatible with iPads NOT iPhones! Why not??? There's a JB that may make this work for iPhones- I would strongly consider JB'ing my iPhone just for this ability!
I am at a loss as to why Apple does not let this Camera Connection Kit work with other iOS devices beyond iPads, and why this ability- Camera's SD Card to iPhone- doesn't get much attention. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I read a bit about Eye-Fi and I think it is very intuitive! So, it gets my vote! It's a matter of time before there are apps being released to address your needs. I know Nikon is working with "other" hardware companies, and Apple isn't too far behind. Nonetheless, I plan to buy an Eye-Fi card in the near future.
Long live the photographer! Got memories? Record your moments with current electronic devices. I stumble, fall, get up and do it again.

I just purchased an Eye-Fi for my 5D3 which has a slot for SD cards (which I use to store 6Mpix JPEGs). It's very cool and a great way to transfer images in the field. Setup is not trivial but if you can setup a wifi router, I'm sure you could handle this. The key issue I had was understanding what all the options are with the Eye-Fi to get it working just the way I wanted... as it works in a mind boggling number of different ways.
I have mine setup to establish it's own ad-hoc wifi network so my iPhone or iPad can connect to it. At first, it was dumping every image on the card to the iPhone or iPad which was not what I wanted, so I turned on a selective upload option where you can use the "protect" feature on your camera to lock an image which also flags it for uploading from the Eye-Fi. That way if you want to just review a few recent shots, no problem... "protect" them in-camera, turn on the Eye-Fi in your camera menu, run the Eye-Fi app, and within a few seconds you are looking at your photos on your device.
BTW, I also have the camera connection kit for the iPad which was useful when I had a 7D with CF only. But as you say, that only works with the iPad and is another piece of kit to get lost along the way somewhere.
I've got just about every product there is and a bunch of Canon DSLR gear that feeds my passion for tech, travel, and photography.

^I've heard that solution works well, good luck.
I recently got the Camera Connection Kit and an iPad 3, the combo works really well, very easy, very convenient.
If only it worked with the iPhone...

'Small ball' helps Cards beat Nats 4-2 for sweep
WASHINGTON Yadier Molina hit a two-run single off Stephen Strasburg during St. Louis' three-run first inning, and the Cardinals beat the Nationals 4-2 Wednesday to complete a sweep and give Washington's All-Star ace the only four-start losing streak of his young career.
Jaime Garcia (2-1) allowed a run on Bryce Harper's sixth-inning groundout, but otherwise added to the offensive struggles of the Nationals, who have lost six consecutive home games and nine of their last 12 overall to fall to 10-11.
Washington produced only four runs in the three-game set, a rematch of the 2012 NL division series won by St. Louis.
Needing to be nearly perfect given Washington's lack of offense, Strasburg (1-4) struggled through a 26-pitch, 12-minute first inning.
Strasburg, who hasn't won since opening day against the Miami Marlins, wound up settling down and throwing 110 pitches over seven innings, giving up no other runs and a total of five hits, along with seven strikeouts.
But that damaging opening inning included three hits, Strasburg's only walk of the afternoon, and rookie third baseman Anthony Rendon's throwing error on Daniel Descalso's run-scoring fielder's choice. It was precisely the sort of "scratch and claw" offense that Cardinals manager Mike Matheny spoke about before the game.
"People hate our `small ball' theory," Matheny said, "but when we're not banging balls into the stands every single night, we've got to do other things, whether people like it or not."
His club used that style to add an insurance run in the eighth off Drew Storen - who blew a ninth-inning lead against St. Louis in Game 5 in October - on Matt Holliday's chopped single that didn't leave the infield.
The Nationals, meanwhile, went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. Trying to generate something for Washington's slumbering offense, Ian Desmond bunted for a base hit with one out in the second, then stole second and advanced to third on a flyout to the warning track. But Rendon struck out to end the inning.
Strasburg actually was the one who got Washington going at the plate, grounding a single up the middle to lead off the sixth. Denard Span followed with a single, and Jayson Werth's groundout moved the runners up for Harper. He grounded out to second, but at least that got Strasburg home with a rare run to make it 3-1.
A walk to Tyler Moore ended Garcia's day after one run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings. Righty Joe Kelly entered to face Desmond, who struck out swinging. Desmond flung his bat and helmet.
In the seventh, a pair of singles put runners at the corners with one out, but Kelly got out of that jam when pinch-hitter Steve Lombardozzi struck out and Jhonatan Solano, taking off from first on a hit-and-run, was thrown out at second by catcher Molina.
Werth's fourth homer, a solo shot to left off Trevor Rosenthal with one out in the eighth, gave Washington its second run. But that was too little to stop the Nationals from dropping below .500 for the first time since finishing the 2011 season 80-81.

I am six weeks pregnant with no symptoms, is this normal?
I have had a blood pregnancy test that came back positive. I am six weeks pregnant (starting from the first day of my last period) and have had no noticeable symptoms. I don't have my first Dr.'s appt until I'm 10 weeks. The only thing I have noticed is peeing alot (but that's b/c I have been trying to drink lots of water) and I wake up every morning with this nervous/anxious feeling. I also haven't had much of an appetite. I'm really worried that I am not really pregnant b/c I haven't had symptoms yet. I feel like I'm driving myself crazy worrying about it. Is there anyone else out there like me??

At 6 weeks I was worried that I had no or little symptoms, even though I had felt I was pregnant before my periods were even due. But I kept thinking - for no apparent reason - that something was not right. Unfortunatelly, at 7 weeks 1/2, I had a miscarriage. However, I don't think that the lack of symptoms were related to that miscarriage; I just think I was one of the few "lucky" ones (although in the end I was very unlucky) not to feel sick throughout the first months. My mum has had 5 kids, and felt fine throughout. My sister has three kids and it was the same for her too. + very easy and quick births. So it must be in the genes. The miscarriage happened last month, I am still emotionally recovering, but I am determined to have a baby as soon as possible. I just hope it is easier next time...posted 06/18/2010 by Antang77
Me too!!! I have been worried about it for days. This is my 2nd pregnancy (1st one ended in miscarriage) and i have been so worried tabout this pregnancy. I feel pretty good, occasional food aversions, fatigue, light headedness & occasional "pulling" on sides of abdomen with sudden movements, but I feel like i should be feeling much worse. I know i should be thankful for feeling so good but i still worry. I have had 3 positive blood serum tests with elevating HCG each time but still i worry.posted 07/08/2008 by AmyDiz
I am 5 weeks pregnant. WIth my first child I had every symptom in the book early on. This pregnancy, besides a urine and blood test that say I am pregnant, I have NO symptoms at ALL and it is scaring me so much. I WANT to feel something just so I know everythin is ok. I am scared!posted 03/02/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
hi i'm seven weeks pregnant,and i dont have any symptoms,except for peeing and being tired,and its driving me so so crazy,i totally understand.posted 09/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
yes i was 25 weeks with no signsposted 10/03/2010 by crystal_watkins_1983
If you missed your period AND had a positive pregnancy test - you are pregnant. I'm no doctor, but I have two children and I am 6 weeks pregnant now. Just try to relax because it is actually really nice not to have symptoms. Some people are sick and miserable. Be happy your body is treating you so well! :-)posted 11/04/2008 by LMS1979
i was 18 weeks before i found out i was pregnant i had no symptomsposted 05/25/2012 by emmalouisex
it's absolutely normal.. i went through my whole pregnancy like this. my stomach didn't even get big until my last 2 months and i've always been a slim person so people couldnt undertsand why it wasnt noticeable but everything went fine.posted 10/30/2007 by sarahcascio
I've been pregnant once and didn't know until I was almost 8 weeks. I didn't get symptoms until the 6-7 week mark and some don't even have symptoms until way later. If your HCG results are normal then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.posted 04/04/2010 by armywifey0910
I am about 30weeks along now and I have had NO symptoms what so ever. no morning sickness, my boobs arent sore. Before I got pregnant I had problems with my periods for almost 2 years. I think over that 2 year period i had maybe 5 periods the whole time! so naturally i wasnt concerned when i didnt have one I was almost 2 months along before i even knew..and i only found out because i wanted to take a test to make sure. I didnt even start to really show until about a month ago.Probably the only symptom I had was like you. for about a month I felt nervous in the morning but it went away fairly quickly. Everyone is different I wouldn't worry about it. They say a blood test is like 100% sure so if they said your pregnant you probably are! relax and enjoy feeling good! congrats!! :)posted 10/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

it was a place to stay over for a night. shower/bath had nice hot hot water, better than some of higher price motels.
dated, needs upgraded
Great location. Driving from PA to OBX.
Overpriced! Then add an extre $15 a night for a pet?!? Not worth the cost!
Extremely clean & excellent breakfast selections in the morning with hot beverages always available as well as some items in the lounge area.
Would prefer they at least have a small refrigerator in each room specially when we had a 2 queen bedroom. I asked about them & they are only available in the swepts.
We stayed there after the tornado happened at Cherrystone Campground. We were pleased to see that a collection for those campers was in progress. Staff very helpful. Would stay there again.
Still feels like new...well maintained...excellent customer service.
No...this is a great place to stay.
Hotel was undergoing construction and was not well contained. Biggest complaint is the paper thin walls between rooms and the ability to hear every footstep in the room above and every conversation in the hall

Its a perfect Sunday morning here a balmy 22C no wind. 8AM and Easter Sunday its as quite as you could get. I've made a cup of coffee and barefoot it down to the oven with a couple of pizza slices I've carefully hidden behind the broccoli. Reheating them there's only one way to go and that's back into the oven which is still at 325C this morning. They come out warm with nice crisp bread bases. Its not that they taste the same as last night, its next morning and they taste pretty bloody good.
Ill go up soon and tray up some chicken and veg and incase it in aluminum foil and chuck it in the oven. Its off to church so you have to trust the oven to look after things, the foil will keep the moisture in.
God bless all at Easter .....he has blessed me with a beautiful morning to be sure.
Regards Dave
Re: Breakfast of champions
Good onya Dave.
The missus is working, so no church for her. Number three son worked late last night, so no church for him either.
I'm a little sad about it all. We aren't much in the way of church goers, but we've never regarded Easter as just another long weekend. We always made it a time to gather the clan, enjoy a meal, and reflect on what life is all about. I prefer it over Christmas.
Unfortunately, the realities of modern work practice is messing that up.
We did manage an excellent seafood banquet on Friday night - snapper, oysters, squid, etc, with my mother and a couple of my sons around for dinner, so it's not a total loss.
3 generations is cool, I don't think my boys are going to present us with a fourth generation anytime soon.
Think I'll put some dough together and light the oven. Some fresh bread and a glass of wine should restore the wife when she gets home.
The only way to eat snapper:
fillet a 5 or 10 kg fish. Cut off the rib cages (the wings, they are called here), salt these for 24 hours uncovered in the fridge then hot smoke for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot from the smoker.
Skin the fillets, remove the line of lateral bones, cut the fillets into one inch by one inch chunks. Toss in a bag of seasoned flour, shallow fry in a little butter until the flour is just browned. The chunks will melt in the mouth.
This technique yields very tender snapper, and is the best way I've found to utilise the big ones. You prep them as soon as you catch them and store in 0.5 or 1 kg lots in the freezer. No waste at all.
I imagine it works well with any big fish that is a little coarse. Certainly works well with kingfish.
Re: Breakfast of champions
G'day mick
Yes Easter Friday and seafood. I made beer battered bream fillets for the child bride and the boys(men now). Did the home made chips. Boil the old potatoes cut to big chunkie chips. Cook off a first time in oil. Then cool. When you cook them off the secound time you get the best chips on the planet . Crisp on the outside creamy and nutty on the inside. Unlike pizza dough it doesn't get any better in the fridge and must be done that day otherwise its no different than frozen fries.
Did my usually tomatoe salsa. Freshly stolen cherry tomatoes from the neighbors garden( there away). Whilst there still sun warm and taste there best cut them in 1/2 and chuck them in a glass bowl and bit of salt. The salt draws the juice out and you add a glug of olive oil and some torn up basil. Cover for half and hour. The eldest guards the empty bowl and claims the juice left on the bottom.
Prawns ( shrimp ) for evening and of course you can't buy fresh local at this time of the year. Next best thing is frozen raw, defrost them and cook them up. You'd be hard pressed to pick them from fresh. Made up a handmade mayonnaise add some capers. Can't beat it.
Anyway got to finish lunch for today pics to follow

Most of this has nothing to do with the WFO but it is my Easter plan. I did cook a sultana cake and a shin casserole in there today though.
It is about catching mud crabs and decent fish. I ended up with 2 crabs and a Bream and a decent Barred Javelin (grunter) for my 3 hours on the river.
Crab and avocado, crab omelette and crab and fresh bread are all good. Crab linguine with a mornay sauce is great as well. Hook in while the season lasts and winter is on the way.
For prawns, the river yielded some up a few weeks ago and some were frozen green for a quick thaw and boil.
Easter is usually a time of plenty in my river but I am going back to South Aus to enjoy the plentiful blue crabs and the King George Whiting. Might try to get out to snapper territory while I am there. I still use the big squid I caught when I was there as my facebook cover.
Happy Easter to all of the WFO community.
Re: Breakfast of champions
Hope everyone had a peaceful Easter, we did the no meat thing on Friday and a big family meal yesterday (Easter Sunday). My wife found her mum's lost brother of 63 year last year so it was a big deal! There were separated at a very early age.
One thing I have learnt in life, you don't have to go to church to give thanks...I once gave thanks for everything we had, at a set of traffic lights! Having been a Sunday school teacher with my then girlfriend (now wife), from the age of 18 to 24.
It's always nice to say "thank you", no matter who too and remember there is always someone worse off than you - even when everything in your own world seems to be falling apart. :)
Re: Breakfast of champions
The crab looks awesome! Wish we could get them like that, ours are just tiddlers.
Re: Breakfast of champions
I always tell everyone I am on the good "seefood" diet, see it you eat it. That is some nice looking crab claws. Like Graham, here is land lock Utah we are not as fortunate. BTW, I brought home some individual Vegamite serving packs from Aussie land and placed out on the table for people to try, no takers yet, I am miffed............
Re: Breakfast of champions
It is a blessing to have good seafood on the doorstep and those of us who have the time make good use of it. One short fishing excursion each week is enough. Nothing like the 'just caught' seafood.
Some people catch very little and my old friend in his 80's reckons that 5% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish. He is probably right and he is definitely in the 5% and fishes alone twice a week. I catch no more than I need and depart.
My secret is the vegemite sandwich that I take to stave off the hunger if the fishing is slow!
Re: Breakfast of champions
I know what you mean about 5% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish, unfortunately I am in the 95% bracket and do my best fishing at the fish monger market.
Re: Breakfast of champions
Isn't that right.... I tend to call myself a "dangler" rather than an angler. I still enjoy a chance to fish

VANCOUVER -- A Vancouver school bus driver under fire for sweltering conditions on her bus last week has resigned for personal reasons, a school district official said Wednesday.
It just felt like a heater or an oven, one student at Silver Start Elementary School said after riding with the windows closed in record-breaking heat last Wednesday. Kids began calling it the torture bus.
Angry parents flooded the district with phone calls and the driver was put on leave, said Evergreen School District spokeswoman Gail Spolar. Monday the driver resigned after 25 years with the district, Spolar said.
Background: School bus driver on leave after hot 'torture bus'
The driver's name has not been released.
She's accused of refusing to let students open the windows on her bus, which doesn't have air conditioning. Students claimed it was in retaliation after some of them put paper in the heating vents the previous week.
I didn't expect this kind of thing from people who have care of your children, parent Kerri Craighead said Wednesday. I expected better.
One man whose grandson rides the bus said it was likely a one-time mistake and it's a shame someone who has driven for the district so long is leaving over the controversy.
Everybody makes mistakes. She had to have been a fairly good bus driver to have been there for 20-some years, said William Kramer. And to make a mistake, hey, people learn from it. I hope the best for her.
School district rules say the driver must set the windows at the appropriate level before kids enter the bus. The rules also give drivers authority to discipline bad behavior, but state they must verbally warn the student, assign specific seats, or request a meeting with the parents if there is a problem.
More:Evergreen School District statement
A memo has been provided for all the bus drivers reminding them of the proper procedures to ventilate buses on warm days, Spolar said Wednesday. We urge parents, if they have any concerns, to let us know since it is our responsibility to ensure the students' safety.

Feb 19, 2014For a short adventure that took around 5-6 hours to complete, it's a refreshing change of pace from the grit and grime reality normally sought by today's modern game. Planet collapsing tragedy aside, this adventure is not one in need of rescue.

Dec 1, 2013If you didn't play the original 2009 release on PlayStation Network, now you have the chance to redeem yourself. Even if it lasts almost five hours, PixelJunk Shooter is a fun and deep shoot'em up, with a clever twin stick control scheme. Sail aboard the Pinita Colada: you won't regret it.
Mar 28, 2014A simple shooter with some cool puzzles. It won't change your world but acts as a pleasant enough distraction. [Apr 2014, p.59]
Jan 15, 2014Standing out in a deluge of indie games, PixelJunk Shooter looks great – production-wise, everything, from graphics to controls, is much more refined and thought-out. But the gameplay itself is too linear and simplistic than the clever, mind-bending puzzles we have enjoyed over the last few years. They should have ported this one sooner.
Dec 2, 2013Playing right through will take you about five or five-and-a-half hours, so it's not a long game - but you know what else is repetitive and takes less time than that? Call of Duty. Do a value-for-money comparison on that.

Nov 16, 2013This is a fun, unique little game. It controls like Asteroids and your goal is rescuing civilians, like Choplifter, giving it an old schoolThis is a fun, unique little game. It controls like Asteroids and your goal is rescuing civilians, like Choplifter, giving it an old school charm, but its physics and puzzles also make it feel modern. You control your ship's movement with WASD and your aiming with the mouse. Both are completely independent, so you can move one way and shoot the other, for example. Your job is to pilot your ship through a planet to rescue miners, which you do by right clicking to grab them with your tractor beam-like device. Left click is for shooting at a variety of underground creatures and for blasting away rock that may be in your path. Once you rescue a set number of miners on a level, the exit will unlock, allowing you to move onto the next level.
The heart, fun and real challenge in the game comes with the puzzle element, which greatly employs physics-obeying lava and water. You can fly through water, but lava will destroy your ship, meaning that you have to either move the lava out of the way or neutralize it with water, both of which you may do by shooting out rock underneath it. You need to plan your moves, though, because a mistake could burn you or some miners with lava or make it otherwise difficult to accomplish your objective. There are also items that you'll find that interact with the lava and water and which you may need to use wisely to finish levels, but I won't say more, since part of the fun is discovering things on your own.
I'm only partway into the game and it's fun. It's a nice combination of arcade shooter and puzzle game. Neither aspect is too hard, so you can enjoy the game without being frustrated, but it's just challenging enough that you'll make mistakes now and then. I recommend it to arcade fans and puzzle fans.… Full Review »

I've been very impressed with Pixeljunk's focus onCombining physics and cavern flight elements into one game, this game does not disappoint. I've been very impressed with Pixeljunk's focus on game play as they seem to get it perfect in both this game and Monsters, always making it fun and enjoyable. I have not finished this game yet, but it is progressing nicely so far.
The interface is great, the controls are great, the music and sound is great, things are self-explanatory or easy to figure out, and I haven't found any bugs so far. It's difficult to rate graphics in a game that isn't trying to have super detailed graphics, so instead I'll say the graphics are great for what they are trying to be.
To fairly give this game a lower score than a 10/10 would mean finding another game with very similar game play to compare it against, but I don't know of any such game so I think this deserves its own category.… Full Review »

See F. C. Hamil, Lake Erie Baron: The Story of Colonel Thomas Talbot (1955).
See studies by A. Jammes (1974) and L. J. Schaaf (2000).
Talbot is an automobile brand, whose history is one of the industry's most complex.
Talbot was originally the British brand name used to sell imported French Clément-Bayard cars. Founded in 1903, this business venture was financed by Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury, who lent his name to the firm. Starting in 1905, the company branded its imported cars as Clément-Talbot and began assembling French made parts at a new factory in North Kensington, London, selling them under the name Talbot. Locally designed cars followed from 1906 and by 1910 50 to 60 cars a month were being made. A Talbot was the first car to cover 100 miles (160 kilometres) in an hour in 1913.
During World War I, the firm manufactured ambulances. French and British operations continued in separate, parallel production and marketing processes until 1919, when British-owned but Paris-based Darracq took over the company; Darracq-made Talbots were marketed as Talbot-Darracqs. The following year, Darracq was reorganised as part of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq (STD) conglomerate.
In 1916, Swiss native Georges Roesch became chief engineer, and in the early 1920's, Talbot built a number of successful models, including the 14/45 hp, or Talbot 105, which was first built in 1926. In the 1930's, Roesch-designed Talbots enjoyed success in racing with the Fox & Nicholl team, with drivers including the Hon. Brian Lewis, Johnny Hindmarsh, and John Cobb (better known for his land speed record attempts). They were also highly successful in the Alpine Trial.
In Britain, Sunbeam and Talbot marques were combined in 1938 to form Sunbeam-Talbot. Production of Sunbeam Talbot automobiles ceased during World War II and resumed again in 1946, and the Talbot name was dropped in 1955. The Sunbeam name continued under the Rootes management (Rapier, Alpine and Tiger) until 1967 when control was taken over by Chrysler.
In 1967, Chrysler took over Rootes and merged it with Simca to form Chrysler Europe. The Talbot name was not used in this era, although the Chrysler "Pentastar" logo and name (used as the marque) gradually replaced the Rootes brands as the 1970s progressed.
Chrysler had just developed with Simca new Horizon/Omni line, and the Talbot Horizon was produced in Finland at Uusikaupunki factory. Other Chrysler-based Talbots were also made there, Talbot 1510 and Talbot Solara. Top-of-the line model was called Talbot Solara VIP.
At the end of 1978, Peugeot took over Chrysler Europe and resurrected the Talbot name — using it to re-badge the former Simca and Rootes models. The Peugeot takeover saw the end of Chrysler Hunter production, but the Chrysler-designed 1510 (Alpine in UK), and Horizon remained in production.
All former Chrysler products registered in Britain after 1 August 1979 bore the Talbot badge.
The last remaining car produced by the Rootes group, the Chrysler (previously Hillman) Avenger, remained in production as a Talbot until the end of 1981. 1981 also saw the end of production of the Avenger-derived Talbot Sunbeam. The entry-level model in the Talbot range from 1982 onwards would be the Talbot Samba, a three-door hatchback based on the Peugeot 104.
In 1981, Peugeot began producing the Talbot Tagora, a boxy four-door saloon marketed as a Ford Granada rival. But it was not popular in either Britain or France and production ceased in 1983.
At the end of 1984, the Alpine hatchback and its related Solara saloon were rebadged Minx and Rapier depending upon specification rather than body shape. The new names were inherited from the Rootes Group; Rootes had previously produced the Hillman Minx and Sunbeam Rapier. These cars were produced until 1986.
At the end of 1985, Peugeot replaced the Talbot Horizon with the Peugeot 309. Peugeot had originally planned to sell the car as the Talbot Arizona but had now changed its plans and was now intent on phasing out the Talbot marque. Production of the Horizon continued in Spain and Finland until 1987.
During 1986 all passenger cars were discontinued, although the Talbot Express panel van continued in production until 1992 when the entire Talbot brand was axed.
As of 2008, PSA is considering re-introducing Talbot to the market, targeting low-budget buyers, as Renault did with its Dacia Logan. Initial cars could be models produced in China such as Talbot versions of the Citroën Elysée and of the Peugeot 206.
There was a brief participation in Formula One in 1981-1982 by associating with Ligier and using its Matra connection to secure a Matra engine for them, and although the cars were known as Ligier-Matras the team was using the Talbot brand and sponsorship. This lasted two years and was moderately successful, Jacques Laffite coming fourth in the 1981 championship.


text: The Dakota North wiki last edited by MartianManhunterIsBetterThanCyborg on 08/24/14 03:20AM View full history History Dakota North was the daughter of Samual J. North, and she chose the career as a fashion model. She did not like the job, and wanted something with more depth, more importance, and become a private investigator and opened her own agency. It's quite successful, having branches in four major cities them being New York, Rome, Tokyo and Paris. Her earliest case was being hired by Luke Jacobson to guard him and his designs. Her next case was Major George C. Cooper where she was to guard a sample of a deadly gas. The gas was stolen (it was stored in a gold pen) and was in possession of Dakota's brother. Dakota followed her brother in Switzerland and they were captured by Sheik Ibn Bheik. The sample gas was released and killed Bheik and his men, but Dakota and her brother escaped. Dakota was then hired to track down a serial killer who had murdering fashion models. The murderer was called "Slasher". The investigation led to two models who were Elyse Nelson and Mary Jane Watson. Along the way, Dakota met Spider-Man and found out that Nelson was in fact the serial killer and save Watson just in time. She was then hired by Jack Power to clear Jessie Wilcox Jones of theft chargers. She had met the Punisher while investigating and together they worked to prove Jones' innocence. She also battled Wasp and King-Size. Her next case involved gathering information on Luke Cage she befriended him and help him in a situation with his father before returning him home. When Malice, the former Dora Milaje once known as Nakia was out to kill Black Panther, Dakota was hired to guard Monica Lynne. She is now Murdock, Nelson and Blake's Private Investigator, recommended to the job by Jessica Jones. A mini-series has been scheduled with no release date, to be written by C.B. Cebulski, to come after Secret Invasion.

How many more Slams should the games legends really have won?
Hoad, Laver, Rosewall, Newcombe, Connors, Borg, Vilas, McEnroe, Lendl, Becker, Wilander, Edberg, Agassi, Sampras?
Ok i'll start off with Connors as an example....
Should certainly have won the 3 Slam finals he lost in 1975! Let fame and burgers get to him.
None in 76.
Lost 2 finals in 77 Borg @ Wimbledon, many can argure he should have won this match, but no he just lost a close match. Should have beaten Vilas at the US open no doubt at all, but let the crowd totally physch him out.
78,79,80 & 81, couple of close 5 set semi-finals, but nothing here 'Connors wilderness years.
83 & 85 Wimbledon's, two losses to Kevin Curren when Connors was outstanding, especially in 83 - these losses irk me, the 83 4th round match when he was put out on court 2 'the graveyard' (Can't really count these he lost too early, only final losses count)!
So all in all he won 8 slams but should have been Grand Slam singles champions on 12 occasions.
Over to you experts......
I don't like this "if" and "but" stuff. Many great players including today(Fed/Nole/Nadal) have lost some tough matches which you can argue that they could have won more. And at the expense of the players(who actually won the slam) is minimizing their wins.
I know some of the losses are tough to swallow, like when Fed fans have to deal with Fed losing to Safin in 05 AO after having a match point. But that's part of sport. Some players have to deal with tougher losses than the others, I can agree, but that's not going gain them anymore credit than they actually deserve.
What you say is well written but obvious. Any good tennis player will know in their heart of heart's, matches they should have certainly have won. Not close matches they can speculate about.
If you were/are a good tennis player, you will be able to put yourself in the players shoes and see it from their perspective.
Hence Connors lost two Slam finals in 1977, a closer one to Borg, but he should'nt have won, but should have won the US v
Anyway isn't this a 'Former Pro Player Talk'?! Why are you mentioning Federer?
In Connors' case i find it more interesting, if we speculate (reasonably) about the circumstances of his era, which he couldn't change. Just imagine for a moment the situation of today with the majors surfaces clay, slow grass, and hard court and put it into the time frame of 1975-1983. Hard court was certainly Connors' best surface. Its not a stretch of imagniation, that he would have won 7 US opens on a hard court, when they had laid down a hard court instead of har tru at Forest Hills. He was in all finals anyway 1974-1977, but imo would have beaten Orantes and Vilas. Connors was vulnerable on grass, because of his pretty weak serve and his low forehand weakness, but it could be that he would have fared better on the slow grass of today (for instance against Ashe, Newcombe or McEnroe). Given he would have more participated, on the AO with a modern slower hard court, he could well have won the same amount of events like Agassi, who did very well at AO. So just this example of Connors shows, that the circumstances of previous eras era are be considered. The historical situation however gave Connors a record that will never be beaten: that he won the USO on 3 different surfaces.
Connors injured his hand just prior to the 1977 Wimbledon final. In 1975, Connors injured his leg just before the Wimbledon final.
Newk sprained his ankle after winning the first set of the 1966 Forest Hills final.
Hoad's back acted up after Wimbledon in 1956, and was not recovered in the 1956 Forest Hills final.
Crawford was fed alcohol by misguided friends and this cost him the 1933 Forest Hills final.
Get the idea?
2000 Australian (got injured but should have beat Andre there)
1999 USO (if you consider his level from wimbledon to the end of the year. He was a for sure winer at the USO in 99. No doubt about it)
2001 USO (Tough draw, ran out of gas)
Same goes for the '96 french. Tough draw there and his blood condition hit in the end. If he got Kafelnikov and I think he definitely had the final. But playing with Thalassemia Minor (especially under conditions as the French OPen was that year) can wreak havoc on you fatigue-wise.. But he was playing his best tennis there
Useless discussion. What if and what not. In the end, they all won as much as they deserved, plain and simple.
2009 French and 2009 Wimbledon- knee injury cost him both slams.
2006 Australian Open- Federer was in subpar form, the worst he ever played to win any of his 17 slams IMO, and all Nadal's nemisis went out in early rounds. Nadal would have probably won had he been able to play.
2007 Wimbledon- Blew this one, really should have won. Tons of wasted break opportunities, even excluding the ones Federer saved with winning serves.
2012 Australian Open- Should have won this one, only his mental block with Djokovic cost him the match in the end.
That would actually have given him 16 slams and left Federer with only 13. Oh well.
Steffi Graf
1986 U.S Open- Should have finished off Martina in semis and won title.
1987 Australian Open- Should have played, probably would have won.
1989 French Open- No idea how she blew this, and a historic 2nd straight Grand Slam. Total choke at end of 1st and 3rd sets.
1990 French Open- Would have won had she closed out 1st set tiebreaker.
1991 Australian Open- Should have won over Novotna after Jana choked trying to serve it out. Would have most likely beaten Seles in final at this point, as it this stage I think she still had edge in the matchup.
1992 French Open- Should have won over Seles after making amazing comeback in 3rd set and getting on verge of victory, with Seles and her not exceptional serve needing to serve to stay in it 3 times straight. Got tight and blew it in end.
1994 Wimbledon- Should have been able to close out 2nd set over McNeil with all her chances, and had she done so most likely wins 3rd, and cruises through this weak Wimbledon.
1994 U.S Open- Needless to say should have closed out this match, even with her injury.
1999 Wimbledon- Should have won this final. Even with her subpar play and Davenport's great play, Graf had many more chances to break throughout the match, had the 2nd set probably won without missing an easy forehand at 15-30 on Davenport's serving to stay in set, etc..
But after reading 'Dan's' post, I did'nt realise he was injured v Borg in 77 Wimb final.
The reason I posted this was when I used to play full-time I could look at past matches and think "Ok that was a close match and it was 50 - 50 but that's the way the cookie crumbles". But with other matches i could objectivly look back at them and think, "If I hadn't had been injured, been put off by a few bad line calls, choked etc etc", I should have won this match"! It does'nt mean i'm right, but it's a feeling every player has!
2008 AO mono cost him this Slam.
2008 Wimbledon -- tons of wasted break point opportunities
2009 AO Blew this one, really should have won. Only his mental block with Nadal cost him the match.
2009 USO Let this one slip away
2005 AO match point against Safin slipped away, would have won if not for blisters and a bad back.
That would actually have given him 22 Slams and left Nadal with only 9. Oh well.
Connors fractured his right thumb three weeks before the '77 Wimbledon final against Borg. He injured his leg in his first match of the '75 Wimbledon, two weeks (of course) before the final (and he went through to the final without dropping a set).
There's no point in bringing up injuries if they're not described correctly.
Danzig mentions nothing about an injury in his report in the NY Times. In fact when he describes Newcombe's play in the second set he says that Newk was serving love games and returning better than Stolle.
Not saying all this is correct, but "shoulds" cut both ways.
Not to you in particular, but just to make a general point about injuries: sometimes they are freak accidents but sometimes they are the direct result of a player's style of play.
That's especially true in Nadal's case. IMO he's where he should be at this point in time, with 11 Slam titles.

Research Brief: Flotillin, Cholesterol Aid APP Endocytosis, Processing
Quick Links

- Follow Comments
With annotations Without annotations
The proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release β amyloid requires endocytosis, and new work in the March 12 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience implicates a novel endocytic pathway in the internalization of APP. The pathway, which requires flotillin and cholesterol to cluster APP, reportedly promotes amyloidogenic processing in neurons.
Flotillin proteins are associated with cholesterol-rich, detergent-resistant membrane domains known as lipid rafts. These structures have been suggested to be the meeting place for APP and the secretases that process it to Aβ. In the case of cell surface rafts, cleavage of APP does not appear to kick off until the complex is internalized.
In the new study, from the lab of Mikael Simons at the University of Goettingen in Germany, first authors Anja Schneider and Lawrence Rajendran use siRNA to knock down flotillin-2. The result is a reduction in APP internalization and Aβ production in both neuroblastoma cells and cultured primary neurons. Cholesterol depletion of cells had a similar effect. The flotillin-dependent internalization pathway was distinct from the traditional clathrin-mediated mechanism. For one, while endocytosis of APP did depend on clathrin, it did not use all the traditional accessory proteins. For another, the dependence on cholesterol set apart APP internalization from a traditional clathrin-mediated pathway.
High-resolution fluorescence microscopy revealed that flotillin-2 promoted APP clustering on the cell surface, suggesting a means by which the protein might enhance APP internalization. Consistent with this, the investigators showed that clustering by itself, achieved by cross-linking APP with antibody, was sufficient to promote internalization, even in cells lacking flotillin-2. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments suggested that the two proteins were in a complex in cells, and cholesterol depletion reduced their interaction.
"Together, our data suggest that cholesterol/flotillin-dependent clustering of APP may stimulate the internalization into a specialized clathrin-dependent endocytosis pathway to promote amyloidogenic processing," the authors write. The current work jibes with a previous paper from some of the same researchers showing that Aβ accumulates intracellularly in flotillin-positive endosomal vesicles (Rajendran et al., 2007).—Pat McCaffrey
Comments on News and Primary Papers
APP is subject to two alternative cleavages: a potentially amyloidogenic pathway and a non-amyloidogenic pathway involving α-site APP cleaving enzymes. The amyloidogenic pathway is initiated by the β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE), which generates the C-terminal fragment β-CTF. The membrane-bound β-CTF is further cleaved by the γ-secretase complex in a sequential mode generating Aβ peptides of varying lengths and the APP intracellular domain AICD. Aβ42 represents an intermediate product and is by far the predominant species deposited in senile plaques. It is regarded as the key factor in the development of AD.
The regulatory mechanism of intramembrane cleavage at γ-cleavage sites is a pivotal issue for understanding the mechanism leading to the disease. APP processing by BACE was repeatedly reported to occur in cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich detergent-resistant membrane domains, which are also called lipid rafts. The γ-complex has also been found associated with lipid rafts, implying that Aβ may be a product of intra-raft reactions.
To further address the question of how the lipid environment can influence APP processing, Anja Schneider and colleagues now provide evidence that flotillins/reggie proteins, which are associated with cholesterol-rich lipid rafts, promote the clustering of APP and thus may stimulate the sequential endocytosis of APP into a specialized clathrin-dependent pathway. The authors propose a model in which flotillin acts as a scaffolding protein and serves as a platform for the clustering of APP, followed by endocytosis as a necessary event for the initial cleavage of APP by BACE. Consequently, the authors report that flotillin modulates BACE–mediated cleavage of APP by regulating its endocytosis.
In N2a cells expressing the Swedish mutant APP, BACE-derived APP cleavage products were found reduced by flotillin-2 knockdown but not by flotillin-1 knockdown. In addition, α-CTF was found reduced by flotillin-2 knockdown, indicating that both alternative pathways of APP, by β- and α-cleavages, were affected. Thus, not only amyloidogenic processing of APP was regulated by flotillin-2 but also α-cleavage and seemingly decreased full-length APP levels (see Figure 1 of the paper).
As is often the case in science, the present results raise several intriguing issues and challenges that definitely will be the subject of further studies. Thus, it remains to be clarified why both alternative processing pathways of APP were affected. Also, it has been known that all components required for the production of Aβ are localized to the cell surface and to lipid rafts, including the γ-secretase complex, which is responsible for the final cleavage event resulting in Aβ generation. This leaves open the question of why the effects should be solely based on endocytotic effects. APP-BACE recognition, cleavage, and the transfer of the product β-CTF to the γ-secretase complex could also be impaired. This view is supported by findings from Urano et al., 2005, who revealed that both cholesterol and protein isoprenylation influence the active γ-secretase complex association with lipid rafts. Hattori et al. reported that flotillin-1 binds to BACE and that overexpression of flotillin-1 results in recruiting BACE into lipid rafts and influenced β-secretase activity in cultured cells (Hattori et al., 2006). This has not been investigated for flotillin-2, although BACE-flotillin interactions cannot be excluded to affect BACE oligomerization (Schmechel et al., 2004; Westmeyer et al., 2004) and thereby indirectly influence APP processing.
Other questions that remain are how APP is recruited into rafts and why flotillin-2 depletion inhibits internalization. Munter et al. showed that shorter forms of Aβ are produced by γ-cleavage when β-CTF dimerization through the transmembrane region is inhibited (Munter et al., 2007) and inhibitors of APP dimerization targeting the ectodomain contact site can directly affect BACE cleavage (Kaden et al., 2008). Therefore, flotillin as well as cholesterol could influence the general tendency of APP to oligomerize and thereby modulate APP processing. Finally, it would be reasonable to examine the effect of flotillin or cholesterol on the production of intracellular soluble Aβ oligomers, such as dimers, tetramers inside, which are causative for the pathogenesis.
Nevertheless, by using state-of-the-art techniques, the authors show that APP endocytosis was not impaired in N2a cells by knockdown of flotillin-1 but by flotillin-2 knockdown. This significantly reduced APP internalization by 44 percent compared to wild-type cells. Supporting findings were presented based on siRNA experiments and with hippocampal neurons, which produce large amounts of flotillin. When the authors compared the endocytosis rates of cholesterol-depleted or untreated cells, they found a significant reduction of APP endocytosis using a biotinylation assay, which was in agreement to cell biological approaches presented. An artificial clustering of APP by using a bivalent secondary antibody dramatically stimulated the endocytosis of APP and thus could partially rescue the inhibitory effect of flotillin-2 knockdown on the endocytosis of APP. This strengthens the authors' assumption that cholesterol/flotillin-dependent clustering, as well as antibody-mediated clustering, stimulates APP internalization and thereby could promote amyloidogenic APP processing specifically in the endocytotic pathway.

The law pretty much speaks for itself on what happens to immigrants who commit marriage fraud -- that is, who enter into a sham marriage as a means of gaining U.S. permanent residence (a green card). The relevent law states that perpetrators can face prison, a fine, or both, as follows:
Any individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000, or both (I.N.A. § 275(c); 8 U.S.C. § 1325(c)).
The U.S. citizen or resident spouse could also face criminal prosecution, including fines or imprisonment, depending on the facts of the case. They are likely to be prosecuted for either criminal conspiracy (conspiring with the immigrant is enough; see U.S. v. Vickerage, 921 F.2d 143 (8th Cir. 1990)), or, if the facts support is, for establishing a "commercial enterprise" to get people green cards (see I.N.A. § 275(d); 8 U.S.C. § 1325(d)).
The extent to which these penalties are applied depends on the specifics of each case. The government tends to reserve the highest penalties for U.S. citizens or residents engaged in major conspiracy operations, such as systematically arranging fraudulent marriages. But that doesn't mean that small-time participants in marriage fraud can count on a soft punishment. Ferreting out sham marriages is a top enforcement priority of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Even if the immigrants themselves are not prosecuted criminally, they will in all likelihood simply be deported (removed) and never allowed to return to the United States -- not even if they later enter into a real marriage with a U.S. citizen.

By Beverly Hammett, Starkville
Dear editor,
I would like to express my feelings about the S-M-A-R-T system. I am blind and walk most places with my service dog. I am physically unable to travel for long distances. I utilize the smart bus to help travel long distances and to do personal business. With this transit system, it helps me to be independent and empowers me to live life to its fullest.
The system is in its infancy, constantly growing and changing to adapt to the needs of its patrons and community. There are individuals who have to be at school, work and various appointments for business or medical. Our bus system tries to accommodate these needs by running buses in town and on-campus with clockwise and counter clockwise routes. Times are set at 30 ŌĆō 40 minute intervals and are dependent upon variables such as traffic, etc.
