Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
The prices you charge are one of the most critical components of your product and service feature set. They're not just numbers. They tell your customers about the product or service they are buying. They convey the value of the product. They prod customers to buy or not buy. They can support your brand image or make it fuzzy.
Prices affect almost every aspect of your business including your brand image, your sales numbers, your cash flow, your profits, your ability to make investments in business operations, marketing, and even new-product or service development.
How you price your products and services has a direct impact on these six factors:
Sales volume – Sales volume correlates with the prices being charged for products or services. Higher prices often mean lower volume, whereas lower prices generally result in higher volume. Some entrepreneurs can charge more because of additional or perceived benefits of their products or services.
Sales revenue – Prices set for products or services will affect the total revenue projection. If prices increase, sales volume may decrease, causing an associated reduction in total revenue. Products or services priced effectively, however, can increase revenue and profit.
Market share – How products or services are priced and the pricing position of companies will determine their market share. Sometimes, lower pricing can command a higher market share.
Competitive advantage – Pricing plays an important role in how companies create and maintain a competitive advantage in the market. Much of the advantage depends on how competitors price their products or services and how they respond to price variances in the market.
Company image – The prices for products or services create a perceived image in customers' minds. Customers perceive some companies as the lowest-priced provider while they believe others are the market leader for quality products with high-end margins.
Profitability – Pricing affects companies' Gross Margin and Net Profit. Aligned with sales volume and revenue, how products or services are priced will determine overall profitability.

Since 2004, Maxpreps, a national high school athletic website in affiliation with CBS Sports, has compiled schedules, statistics and scores for high school athletic programs across the nation. In those 10 years, Maxpreps has provided rankings of teams in each state and also on a national level, based on school size, through a computer system.
For its 10th anniversary of compiling stats, Maxpreps released its "20 most dominant football teams in Mississippi" on its website Friday. The West Point Green Wave hold the No. 3 spot behind No. 1 South Panola, the Wave's Thursday, Aug. 28 opponent, and No. 2 Meridian, a program West Point faced in its spring game this year at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville. No. 4 Wayne County and No. 5 Olive Branch complete the top 5.
Maxpreps' staff said the rankings are based on a points system. If a team is ranked No. 1 in Maxpreps' end of the season poll for Mississippi, the team is rewarded 25 points. The 25th-ranked team is rewarded one point. Teams are awarded 30 points for winning a state title and 15 points for finishing as a runner-up in their respective classifications.

Istanbul Shore Excursion: Istanbul in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Istanbul Shore Excursion: Istanbul in One Day Sightseeing Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Wonderful tour of the prominent sites of Istanbul. Very knowledgeable guide and nice Turkish lunch!
This was the best stop and tour on our 12 day cruise. Our guide, SINAN OKUT was very knowledgeable. We got all the info we asked, and more. I would not suggest trying to see Ephesus on your own.
Met on pier right on time. Saw major sights, Mosques, Palaces etc. This is really a full day walking tour, appx 4.5 mis. If you can't walk that much DO NOT TAKE. Good lunch was a much needed break. Carpet store was a waist of time, nobody cared at that time. Appx half hour at the Grand Bazaar is not enough time .Recommend doing on own time wtihout a group, more fun. Still a great experience and will recommend RNK Ohio
Omer was very knowledgable... Love the restaurant he brought us...
Loved our tour of this immense city. Thanks to our guide, who never left us alone, we learned a huge amount about Turkey, their wars, both the good and bad about their past. Inside the Blue Mosque he explained all about the symbolisms. We noticed that most other tours just brought their guests in and let them look around.
Thanks, Viator for making our trip so memorable. We will definitely use your services on our next trip!
A very memorable tour the tour guide was so knowledgeable. Will defiantly use Viator again. Excellent value for money.
Excellent tour, knowledgable guide, stunning city and superb lunch, what more can I say!
The tour covered everything in the brochure with a good amount of time at each site. It also included the cisterns which was an unexpected extra and well worth doing. Lunch at a local restaurant was good and provided a touch of local colour. The tour guide was excellent with good local knowledge and managed to avoid the long lines at sites like the Blue Mosque. Glad we did not try to do all these on our own in limited time. Only down side was the compulsory carpet making demonstration which is an overly long sales pitch.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and the punctuality of the pick up from the port. The fact that we were a small group rather than a group twice as large with Celebrity at almost half the cost was the selling point for me. I will definitely use Viator on my next trip as this was the first time I used Viator.
This was the best tour, our guide had the best attitude, knowledge and flexibility to adapt the tour based on the day.
The tour was great, everything we expected and more!
Really enjoyed tour. Could have spent more time at the sites but would not have seen them all. It was good to have someone put you on a schedule. Lunch was enjoyable with plenty to eat. Our guide, Tibet, was knowledgable and helpful. We were picked up at the ship and we got dropped at Spice Market on the way back. Only downside was at the rug shop some people were interested in buying and we had to wait over an hour after the demonstration finished. They then decided they would come back the next day. Our time could have been better used doing something else.
Good tour guide, Actually. Informative
This tour was superior to others on our cruise excursion list. Our tour leader was informative, helpful, and delightful. Our other tours were marred by late departures, late arrivals, excessive numbers of people on the tours. None of that occurred on this tour. The walking was a bit much for a couple of people in our group so perhaps that should be made clear up front by Viator.
This as a very good tour. It was a bit difficult finding the guide off the dock as there were so many in a small space. I held up my printed reservation and he found me! The guide was knowledgeable and answered questions. He gave us plenty of time in each stop to wander around and take pictures. As most of the sites are in 1 area there is a considerable amount of walking. It is flat but I have arthritis and asthma and had a bit of a problem keeping up at few times (but I made it!) We were there on a Friday. The Blue Mosque is closed for prayer until 2:00 so there was quite a line to get in but it moved rather quickly. He usually likes to do it first on other days, which would have cut down on the walking. The lunch was very good. After visiting the Grand Bazaar some people wanted to get off the bus and visit the spice market and other areas and he was ok with letting them off the bus.
Knowledgeable, friendly. Omar gave us a really comprehesive tour .
We on Celebrity Reflection with an overnight stay in Istanbul. Since this tour was on our first day, there was no worry about not making it back to the ship. This compared well with excursions available from Celebrity, but this was almost half the price. We were a much smaller group and saw other traveler from our ship at many of the same places, but with a less personalized tour. Meeting location was easy to find. My only gripe was the carpet demonstration, which seems to be a part of every tour. It reminds one of the pressure sales for timeshares. None in our group bought a carpet.
Our tour guide was fantastic.
Very organized and the guide was knowledgeable and kept his group together. The lunch was also very good.
I loved our guide, Derya, and it was great to be able to skip the lines because everything was very crowded! I would recommend this tour!
Very nice excursion! Our tour guide was nice and very well informed! He spoke beautiful english, and you could tell he loved his country. Top rate!!
excellent guide very knowledgeable and courteous, good rappor with the group. good group size and stress free tour
I recommend everything about this tour: punctuality, number of people, size and kind of bus used, the places visited and, most important, a knowledgeable and nice guide. The lunch food was not very good but it solved our lunch need. Also, the price was fair for the service received. Thank you very much!
The tour guide (Hakan) was on time. The tour lasted longer than expected which was good. We saw an additional attraction and were very pleased to have it added. It was great to be able to "jump" the lines as we had a guide. I wouldn't have had the time to see all the things we did if it weren't for our guide. He was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
Tour guide was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and personable. Well worth the time and money.

Alexandra Park
Oldham suffered under the Lancashire Cotton Famine of 1861-1865 when supplies of raw cotton from the United States were cut off. Oldham suffered huge unemployment as most of its jobs were in the Cotton Industry. By 1863 a committee had been formed and with a loan from central government, land at Swine Clough was purchased and the unemployed cotton workers were brought in to help construct the park, and it was opened in 1865. It was named Alexandra Park to commemorate the marriage of Albert, Prince of Wales, to Alexandra of Denmark.
It had a refreshment room, boating and fishing lakes constructed in 1903, and statues to various "Oldhamers of eminence".
The park gradually fell into disrepair in the 1980's and 1990's, and was largely re-built to its former grandeur in the 2000's.
The Park is now the nicest in the surrounding area with the former boating lake now looking lovely, with a great stone bridge and nice cafe selling food, drinks and ice cream. There are plenty of large fields, the large one just above the lakes, by the bowling greens, is perfect for picnicing, and the other large fields above that are good for sports.
The conservatory and gardens have a wide variety of semi- tropical plants (but watch for wasps/bees in the summer).
The old pavillion has also been restored and now resembles the original Victorian, very Imperial structure, with iron decorations looking like something from the far-east. I used to sit on the stone lions on the pavillion when I was little, so on my last visit I had to have a go, surprisingly I managed to get on and off without hurting myself!

The Oldham war memorial was commissioned by the Oldham war memorial committee in 1919 as a dedication to the brave men who lost their lives in World War I. It was built by Albert Toft and was unveiled on the 28th April 1923 by General Sir Ian Hamilton in front of a 10,000 crowd.
Through a window in the monument is a roll of honour of soldiers who died in a book which is dated.
Oldham's old town hall was built in 1841 and is a grade II listed building.
Winston Churchill made his acceptance speech from the steps of the Town hall in 1900 when he was elected as a Conservative MP.
The building has stood empty since the mid 1980's. It is in a bad condition with structural
damage due to neglect but as a graded building it cannot
The Queen Elizabeth hall is a dance venue in the centre of Oldham.
It hold regular tea dances and beer festivals as well as occasional concerts.
The hall holds 1,500 people and has a box office and cloakroom facilities.
Conference and meeting halls are available as well as space for family events.
Hartshead Pike
Hartshead pike serves as a focal point in the Oldham and Ashton landscape, Many people will go for a walk up to the pike or just drive up and sit and look at the view, The pike is visible from miles around with unbroken views across 4 counties and has been a beacon hill through antiquity.
Before the Romans the local tribes lit fires here to celebrate the cycle of the seasons, there were many ancient sites close by, including a stone circle at Buckton Castle, once visible from the pike it is now sadly lost. It is highly probable that the druids worshipped at Hartshead Pike during the Iron Age, and sacrifices may have been held to appease their gods.
During the Roman occupation the area took on a more mundane role and became a beacon site, the trackways became routes for the Romans to navigate quickly between the fort at Buckton, and the Roman road at Limeside. The beacon may have been lit in times of unrest to warn the local garrisons.
After the departure of the Romans much of Oldham was inhabited by the Anglo Saxons. There has been some suggestion that the pike was the site where they held their mote (moot) - to appoint leaders and to create law, and the name Hartshead may come from their habit of marking a meeting place with the skull of a wild animal (although this is pure speculation).
The tower on Hartshead Pike is a well-known local landmark. It overlooks Oldham and Ashton being visible from many surrounding areas. It is a popular destination for afternoon strolls and used to have a refreshment shop inside. Visitors could pay a small charge to climb stairs to enjoy the view from windows high up in the building.
Although the name "Hartshead Pike" is generally used to mean the tower, it was originally the name of the hill itself. The pike is not the highest part of the hill, but, at 940 feet above sea level, its prominent position has meant that, from early times, it has been the site of a beacon or signalling station.
The earliest structure on this spot may have been a stone pillar, erected to commemorate the passing through the area of King Canute, who is also remembered in the names of Knott Hill and Knott Lanes.
A tower had been built on the hill by the eighteenth century as it was re-built in 1751 by a public subscription. However, it was badly damaged by lightning and a hundred years later, all that remained was a ring of stone.
The present tower was built in 1863 by John Eaton, a little south of the earlier structure, to mark the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The land on which the tower stands was given to the town by Lord Stamford, who also gave the stone for the tower's construction.
A "time capsule" was buried in a space below the foundation stone. This was a sealed bottle containing local newspapers, Victorian coins, poetry and documents.
The pike is still a popular destination for walkers who come to enjoy the wide ranging views, which include the Pennine moors to the east, North Wales to the west and north towards Pendle Hill

Hartshead Pike
The tower on Hartshead Pike is a well-known local landmark. Once you have walked the short path to the top you will be rewarded with some great views of the Pennine moors to the east, North Wales to the west and north towards Pendle Hill. The present tower was built in 1863 by John Eaton, a little south of the earlier structure, to mark the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark.

The earliest structure on this spot may have been a stone pillar, erected to commemorate the passing through the area of King Canute, who is also remembered in the names of Knott Hill and Knott Lanes.
There was once a little shop inside the tower and you could go inside to explore but sadly vandals put pay to this a long time ago.
We were very lucky to visit here on a bright sunny day and were rewarded with some stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Dovestone Reservoir
Dovestone Reservoir is set amidst the beautiful rolling hills of the Peak District National Park, just a twenty minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of Oldham. This huge expanse of water was created 130 years ago when the need for safe and sufficient drinking water grew with the demands of the growing Industrial population of Manchester. Dovestone reservoir is fed via the Chew reservoir which is situated high up on the Moorlands. The water travels through a mile long underground pipe before it reaches Dovestone reservoir and a neighbouring reservoir called Yeoman Hay. The water is then piped further down the valley to a treatment plant. A paper mill situated below Dovestone Reservoir also makes good use of the water.
As well as providing drinking water for much of Greater Manchester, the Reservoir also provides a great base for leisure activities. There is a small sailing club on the South shore of the reservoir; boating and windsurfing is allowed on the waters. There are also some great walking paths in the area. There is a well maintained, fairly flat path starting from the car park. This will take you around the perimeter of the reservoir. (It takes about an hour to do the full circuit). There are also several waymarked trails which take you high up on the hills, these are a must if you want to take in some of the breathtaking views on offer. This is a fantastic area for birdwatching, walking and generally enjoying the great outdoors. Cycling is allowed on the main shoreline path of the reservoir but walkers have the right of way.
Car parking and toilet facilities are available next to the reservoir. Car parking charge was 60p for 3 hours (February 2011).

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal cuts through the Saddleworth area of Oldham and down into Ashton Under Lyne. the canal was reopened in May 2001 after a £30 million restoration project that had been funded mainly by the Millenium Commission and English Partnerships.
It had been more than 50 years since the waterway had last been open to 'traffic'. the Canals
played a very important part during the Industrial Revolution allowing cargo to be moved quickly and easily from town to town supplying the new factories and mills with coal and supplies and taking the Cotton and other produce to the markets and to docks for shipping around the world.
After years of neglect the canals have been restored in many places and the Hddersfield Canal has once again been opened it's use changed to that of a major tourist attraction and providing many leisure opportunities for walking and canal boat rides

Daisy Nook
Daisy Nook is the name of an area of the Medlock Valley between Oldham, Failsworth and Ashton under Lyne.
The River Medlock flows through a steep-sided valley between Oldham and Ashton under Lyne and further on, the area was originally called Waterhouses and only became known as Daisy Nook when local writer and poet Ben Brierley called it Daisy Nook in his book "A Day Out" after that the name caught on.
Daisy Nook began to be a destination for afternoons out during the Victorian period when families would take walks and picnic by the river or take boat rides on Crime Lake. It is still very popular to this day and every year at Easter visitors flock from miles around to the large annual Daisy Nook Fair.
The Canals which go through this area stopped being used in the 1920's but were not filled in and the 1970s the area was developed into a country park with the canals and basins being made into features.
Popular for short walks, fishing, Dog walking and horse riding there are many well sign posted paths and information boards.
Daisy Nook Garden Centre at the bottom of the valley is very popular and has a nice cafe were you can get something to eat or drink after buying all your garden needs.
There is a car park next to the visitors centre were there is also a small cafe and where you can obtain information about the area.

The Country Park was developed around the River Medlock and the Hollinwood and Fairbottom Branch Canals.
The canals stopped being used around the 1920s, but luckily were not filled in. In the 1970s the area was developed into a country park and the canals and basins were made into a feature for visitors.
There are lovely walks along the canals here, the magnificent 80 ft waterhouse Aqueduct together with fishing lakes, cycle trails and bridle paths attract many visitors to this wonderful place. The area is a magnet for wildlife, providing woodland and wetland habitats for all creatures great and small. Within the Country park we found an information board which gave details of the Medlock Valley Daisy Nook History trail which takes you on a walk around the area to discover lots more about the history of the area.
After my visit I found out you can get a leaflet of the History trail from the John Howarth visitor centre which is situated at the entrance to the Country park. The centre has a cafe selling snacks together with hot and cold drinks and also have a range of informative leaflets, a souvenir shop and toilets. The visitor centre is open at weekends and on weekday afternoons. There are a number of wildlife Events run from the visitor centre including Childrens clubs. Details of these can be obtained by ringing the visitor centre.

It's the Fall, which means that wildlife are abundant in our area getting ready for the cold months by filling their bellies as much as possible before hibernation or heading down South. One of the biggest attractions of the Canadian Rockies is the wildlife, especially large mammals such as elk, moose, bighorn sheep, and bears, which are widespread and easily viewed in our area. All these animals are wild, so precautions need to be taken to not disrupt their environment and to not interfere with their activity. Read more
Wine is a wonderful thing, but when you learn from Erin Dowsett, Supervisor at Mountain Flowers it tastes even better! Erin guided us through some of the best wines from Summerhill Pyramid Winery in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia.

The twenty year experiment at Summerhill Pyramid Winery has been proving the effect of sacred geometry with its track record of delicious wines and international gold medals. Read more

Steelers a different team with Polamalu back
Polamalu, told what his teammates were saying, almost seemed embarrassed. He also refuses to compare himself to the other top safeties, such as Baltimore's Ed Reed.
"I don't know," Polamalu said. "I'm just doing the things I'm coached to do. I'm just one of 11 guys out there."
To the Steelers, he's one of a kind. Quarterbacks rarely seem to target him, yet he has made an interception in all but one game this season.
"You've got guys who are irreplaceable, and then you've got Troy," nose tackle Casey Hampton said. "There's no other Troy — not just on this team, but in the league. He's the difference."
What Farrior disputes is that Polamalu is a freelancer, someone who doesn't hesitate to abandon the defense that's been called to gamble.
"I think he watches more tape than anybody else," Farrior said. "Whenever he's out there taking chances, calculated risks, it might have been something he saw on tape a few weeks before. There might have been a game a couple of years before where he read something, saw something, so that he's not afraid to go and pull the trigger."
To Clark, Polamalu is more patient and less improvisational than he was a few seasons ago. He's also better.
"So much is written about him doing his own thing," Clark said. "I think he's improved on not doing that. ... Some guys in this league, you can make a mistake with them. You can't do that with Troy. He capitalizes on those and makes big plays. That's how he can take over a game."

The United States opened the Kansas territory for settlement in 1854 amid violence over whether to be a free or slavery state. Finally, Kansas entered the Civil War as a free state. After the war, settlers turned the prairies into productive farmland, and today the state provides corn, wheat, sorghum, and sunflowers for the rest of the country and beyond.

Frontline does COIN in Afghanistan
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.
"Frontline," the PBS documentary series, has consistently done great work on our post-9/11 wars. In a new one, they tackle the issue of whether counterinsurgency doctrine can work in Afghanistan. They've already posted the first part of the show, due to air as a whole on Oct. 13. One thing this segment made me think about was the danger of under-resourced COIN. The worst thing you can do is tell people you are going to protect them when you can't. All you are doing is putting them on the golf tee so Taliban can come by that night, or next week, with a big nine iron.
This piece on Small Wars Journal is also worth reading. But I am not sure it really is an "alternative" to what McChrystal is proposing. Rather, I think it outlines the plan pretty well. McChrystal is not asking for enough to protect all the people of Afghanistan, and the proof of that is the plan to "triage" out of certain areas, like Nuristan.
Also check out Abu Mook getting Washington right, even at the expense of embarrassing his long-suffering mother. I read the same line in the Washington Post this morning and had a similar but more obscene thought about the administration official.

New Smyrna Beach-Welcome to Paradise and Old Time Florida Charm
Inquire about availability and rates.
Whether you are interested in fishing, shopping, swimming, sunbathing, relaxing or nightlife, New Smyrna Beach is the place for you; it's got it all. New Smyrna Beach offers 13 miles of white sandy beaches and is conveniently located a little more than one hour from Orlando and 30 minutes south of Daytona Beach. If you are looking to escape from a cold northern winter or the hot summer's heat, or just need to get away, New Smyrna Beach is just the place.
As the second oldest city in Florida, this seaside town has plenty to offer besides just history. New Smyrna Beach maintains a small town feeling with big town fun. Flagler Avenue is loaded with quaint shops, boutiques, spas, wonderful restaurants, and fun taverns.
Start your day on the porch overlooking Flagler Avenue at the local coffee shop, enjoy your morning shopping or go to the end of Flagler Avenue and you can ride your bike or drive your car directly onto the beach and picnic right out of your car. Then head back to the mainland across one of two causeways to visit historic downtown Canal Street or take a ride down scenic Riverside Avenue. For dinner pick from one of the multiple restaurants that you can walk to or jump in the car and expand your choices even more. From gourmet to inexpensive family dining, there is a restaurant for every budget. Publix shopping center is located nearby and a movie theater is located a short drive across the causeway.
My house offers the same old world Florida charm that New Smyrna Beach does. It's an attractive, comfortable, two bedroom, one bath home. Located in beachside central, it's close and convenient to everything, yet quiet and private. You will find more expensive rentals closer to the ocean, but this home and location have a charm that can not be experienced over the internet.
Located only 1 block from the Intercostal Waterway (Indian River), 1 ½ blocks to the foot of Flagler Avenue with all its shops and restaurants, and ¾ mile to the drive on beach.

GMO, ingredient list is necessary
Now, we hear about Genetically Modified Organisms in almost everything we eat! I think it is time to demand "full disclosure." Not just a list of unknown ingredients, but also what they are! Nothing should be left out. I am tired of being used as a test subject. I want to know what GMOs and unknown ingredients do! What are the short- and long-term effects and why is this being done, to what benefit? This information should be disclosed to all consumers before the product hits the shelf.

New Jersey @ Houston
Take Under 192½
Under is the bet in this game for a number of reasons. For starters, teams have had some time off due to the All Star Break and will be rusty. They have not been practicing. Actually, they have been partying. Hell, even Yao Ming probably threw down some sake bombs this weekend. So we expect there to be a bit of a hangover when these two teams meet tonight. Another reason the under looks good is Tracy McGrady is probably not going to suit up. He missed the Rockets last game before the break and stated he is unsure when he is going to return. This is a big blow to their offense, as T-Mac can put up points in bunches. On the other side, Vince Carter has struggled recently against the Rockets, averaging just 13.5 points against them with 31.3 percent FG shooting in New Jersey's last two games against Houston. Even Devin Harris played poorly the last time these two teams met, as he only scored 10 points. Trends point to the under as well, with the total going under in 5 of the last 6 games with Houston playing at home against the Nets. With McGrady likely out, Carter struggling against Houston, and coming back from the All Star Break, we see a defensive game tonight. Take Under and you won't be sorry.
Evansville @ Creighton
Take Creighton -12½
We love the Blue Jays in this one. They have won 6 straight games and have only lossed two at home this year. In an earlier matchup this year, Creighton crushed Evansville on their home court 79-57. Why should we expect anything else tonight? Well, we don't. Evansville aren't playing well like Creighton as they have lost 3 of their last 4. They also struggle on the road, as 7 of their 10 losses this season have came when they were away. With Creigthon playing hot, being at home, and having earlier success against Evansville this year, we are looking for them to come out tonight and win big. Bet them to cover the number here as it shouldn't be a problem.

4 Unit Play.Take Minnesota Timberwolves +3.5 over the Washington Wizards
Let's kick off our 9th straight winning NBA Week on the right foot today. We were 3-1 last week, 5-2 the week before and 5-2 the week before that in the Association. I like the Timberwolves despite having no Al Jefferson. After all, this team still has a great deal of depth and it is not as if Washington is playing at full strength either. The Wizards still have no Haywood and Arenas who are both due back in Mid March. Thus, this game comes down to execution, heart and which team will have the "no-quit" attitude. With the exception of Butler and Jamison, Washington really does not have strong scoring options on this team. Take a look at the Wizard's last game when they were on the road at Charlotte and lost by double-digits, Butler dropped 26 and Jamison dropped 23, but outside that, the rest of the starting lineup of McGuire, Songaila and James had 7, 6 and 6 points respectively. Now, take a look at the Timberwolves who faced the Raptors at home and actually led most of the way, had balanced scoring from their starting five. Foye led the way with 33 points, Gomes with 17, Love with 15, Miller with 12 and Telfair with 11. I like the balanced scoring attack of Minnesota far more than Washington as I feel Minny is a team that is more focused on the "team" concept and frankly although McHale is a sorry GM, he is a great coach thus far and has really given this team a sense of confidence that they can compete in this league and their drastic increase in wins over the last two months is testament to that. Let's ride the Twolves here as they look to get the Outright on the road at Washington with more of a "team" concept play, a far more balanced scoring attack and frankly, a team that plays with more of a sense of urgency with a chip on their shoulder coming off a fourth quarter collapse against the Raptors as they look to get the second half of the season going on the right foot. The Twolves are 10-2 ATS as a road Underdog of late and the Wizards are 2-9 ATS as small favorites of late. Give me the dog and let me go contrary to a team that truly should not be laying points given their play this season.
4 Unit Play. Take Vanderbilt +2 over Kentucky
Glad things worked out as La Tech made a spirited come back in the final four minutes of the contest out west. Let's continue that mojo today with Vanderbilt as the home dog today against a very solid Kentucky team in the SEC. This game reminds me a lot of last year's series between these two squads. Note, that Kentucky defeated this team last year 79-33 in OT. Vandy then came back home and just routed this team in revenge as they were a 4 point chalk but ended up winning 93-52. Now, by no means is Vandy that good this year nor is Kentucky as bad as they were last year. But, Vandy still has revenge, this is a weekday when the majority of the public will take the favorite here in the SEC as Kentucky is the road chalk. Tack on the home court advantage for Vandy, the fact this game is televised and revenge, we have a making for a decent cover here on Vandy's home floor. Vandy is a very unique place to play as well given the makeup of the court and that will certainly throw off Kentucky in the early going as it did last year. Don't think that Vandy cannot matchup to the Wildcats here as they played earlier this year and Kentucky won by 10 points. Vandy does show some punch at home as they are 11-4 as they come off a rough loss to Tennessee on the road by 19 as they were a 10 point dog. With 70% of the public riding Kentucky here, note that the Wildcats who are top 25 in many power rankings, have lost to 80 teams such as Vandy before. The Wildcats if you remember lost to Ole Miss by 5 and were down at several points in the Arkansas game before coming back. Vandy has been dismal covering ATS spreads of late, but I think they are turning the corner a bit as they beat Ole Miss at home by 10, beat Auburn on the road by 7 and were competitive against South Carolina on the road. Given that this team only lost to Kentucky by 10 points on the road this year, Kentucky coming off a big road win, Vandy coming off a huge road loss, with the crowd behind them, as a small home dog on a weekday night fading the majority of the public, with revenge, I think all of these factors make for the 8 point difference as this team has a decent shot at winning Outright esp. if the refs are a bit generous with calls due to the home crowd. Vandy is 6-2 ATS as home dogs of late and Kentucky is 1-4 ATS in the SEC of late.

2* (Top Play) New Orleans Hornets (-) @ Oklahoma City
The first lines to come out on this game were in the 4.5 range yesterday afternoon. This morning we watched the line drop as low as a 2.5 in some books. This line move is offering fantastic line value to the Hornets. We understand what every one is likely looking at here – New Orleans struggled before the All Star break – but things can change quickly after the break. That is precisely what we see here. Much of the Hornets struggles prior to the break had to do with injuries. Now, even though Tyson Chandler (questionable) may not play tonight, the Hornets do have a healthy Chris Paul (note what he did in All Star game) plus David West came back in the final game before the All Star break. That means this team is ready to make a big push in the "second half" of the season.
The Hornets are truly fighting for their playoff lives as their slump before the break dropped them way back in the playoff standings and they could now be the team to fall into the dreaded #9 spot if their not careful. We feel this will result in New Orleans coming out of the break with plenty of energy and emotion. They're facing a Thunder team that wasn't playing very well entering the break either. Making matters worse for Oklahoma City is that they are one of the six teams in the Western Conference that are, essentially, already eliminated from playoff contention. While they're playing for the future, that doesn't necessarily help them in a game like this. They just don't have the defensive skills to match-up with the Hornets. That's why New Orleans has taken seven straight games against the Oklahoma City franchise.
Overall, the Thunder lost five of their last seven games entering the All Star break and they've already lost both match-ups with the Hornets this season. New Orleans has averaged 107 points in the two wins and this comes as no surprise as the Thunder have allowed 103 points per game on the season. By the way, the Hornets give up an average of just 93 points per game! You will see the difference in these defenses, on the floor, once again tonight. The Hornets Paul had a triple double with 29 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Thunder in their last meeting. He will be unstoppable again tonight. Oklahoma City is improving but they're still young and the more experienced Hornets have their sights set on a surge toward the post-season. That begins tonight. Play New Orleans minus the points as a Top Play selection.

Charlotte at Orlando
Play: Over 188.5
The Magic and Bobcats open up the second half of the season in Orlando, as the Magic look to bounce back following a disappointing performance prior to the break. Orlando fell at home to Denver, 82-73, in the final game before the All-Star Break, shooting just 30% from the floor. The Magic have rebounded nicely after a horrible offensive performance this season, going 11-2 to the OVER after scoring less than 95 points in their last game. Charlotte comes into this contest on a mini-hot streak, winners of two straight, beating the Clippers and Wizards before the break. The Bobcats will be healthier tonight, as the team expects leading scorer Gerald Wallace back, after he missed two weeks with a collapsed lung, and Raja Bell, who was out with a groin injury. Charlotte has eclipsed tonight's total in five of the last six games, hitting 190 points four times. I'll take the Bobcats and Magic to finish OVER the posted total.

Milwaukee at Detroit
Pick:Milwaukee +7
Analysis: The Bucks lost Michael Redd, their leading scorer in late January and after that lost Bogut and then Ridnour. A look at the success of Mo Williams with the Cavs is strong evidence that players can blossom without Redd in the line-up. Not only has Richard Jefferson taken a leadership role with the team, Sessions had taken giant steps recently and Villanueva and Bell are emerging as well. The Bucks have scored 120+ in each of their last three games and are a team full of excited players that really value their court time.The Pistons, on the other hand have been very disappointing this season and there is a lot of trade talk involving Rasheed Wallace that has to be distracting.The Pistons are 3-0 SU and ATS vs Milwauke this season and they are going for the sweep here. Detroit has shown no killer instinct in this situation this season. In 2008-09, the Pistons are 0-8 ATS (-9.3 ppg) at home vs any team they beat three straight, losing five of the eight straight up.The last time these two met, February 7th, Richard Hamilton scored 38 off the bench on 15-of-25 shooting and Detroit prevailed 126-121 in overtime.The Pistons are 0-7 ATS (-6.9 ppg) after winning the previous matchup in which Richard Hamilton scored at least 30 points.This is a lot of points to give a young team that will be playing the entire 48 minutes. Grab 'em. MTi's FORECAST: Milwaukee 92 DETROIT 90
