We are no longer taking the fight to the radical Islam. They are taking it to us and kicking our butt. Worst of all, they are doing it right in our living rooms in front of our children and grandchildren. But peace-loving and turn-the-other-cheek liberals are providing aid and comfort to the enemy. And if what I have to say offends you, too damn bad. I am living in a city that puts on display some Muslim radicals; and if you don't believe me, you have not been to my neck of the woods.
The balcony from where I write to you each week faces downtown Calgary, Canada, home to one of the largest Islamic populations in North America. It is also home to a growing breed of militant terrorists who day upon day are being radicalized within a city that used to be known as "Cowtown" because of Western pioneer values. Yet in the heart of cattle country, the Eastern influence has surged over the past decade. It is impossible to leave one's door and not pass Muslims. Their ranks are growing annually, and their radical membership can only be estimated.
As many as 100,000 Muslims live in Calgary, home to North America's largest mosque — not seven miles from my door. Most are peaceful, good people. But there is a minority of radicals whose medieval beliefs are focused on the necessary jihad.
Take one of my friend's former associates, a respected business analyst in Calgary until his career was derailed by his Iraq suicide bomb attack last year. He was Salman Ashrafi, and he was a regular in the downtown oil patch. But he blew himself to bits in November with a car bomb. The good news is that he didn't blow up a major downtown tower in Calgary. The bad news is that another friend, who works for Canadian intelligence, tells me there are dozens just like him right here in the city I was born.
As I type these words and look to the streets below, I wonder how many women wearing burkas who pass are mothers and sisters to an evil segment of Islam planning another 9/11.
I would write my mayor, Naheed Nenshi; but he is the chief apologist for Islam in this city of more than 1 million people. It won't be long, though, with the growing demographics until there are more. For example, in Calgary so huge is the Muslim cab drivers' community that during major events in the city they are provided large arenas downtown to participate in their daily prayers. Every courtesy and convenience is laid out to Calgary's Muslim surging population, although quite the opposite is reciprocated in draconian Islamic countries that ban Christian churches and jail people who wear so much as a small crucifix. It is ironic, but the saying "when in Rome…" applies only to Westerners and not Muslims.
The population is shifting to where Muslims worldwide are dominating maternity wards and voting booths, while Christian influences are reduced. Iraq is a good illustration and a reminder of how destructive neoconservative policies in Washington are to democratic values over the long term.
Consider Iraq. Since 1991 and the Gulf War, the number of Christians in the country have fallen from of 1.5 million to 400,000, tops. The Mideast is falling into the hands of jihadists who are prosecuting a holy war against Western societies. The remedy for this, believe liberals, is complete submission. To do otherwise, goes the dogma, is to be racist.
Imagine if Western Europe and North America had reacted to the Reds this way before Josef Stalin's death in 1953. Communists would be the ruling governments from Moscow to London. That didn't happen in part because of the leadership of Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower, who represented separate political parties but were united in their opposition to communists.
Yet under President Barack Obama, quite the opposite is true. There is no Western leader who is more of an apologist, more of an adherent to Islam, than the current President. It is this evil and yet vague destruction of America from within by this White House that makes so many long for his impeachment. Yet it has been the very slippery nature of the Obama Administration's conduct to Islam that makes it almost impossible to imagine Obama's departure until he is forced out by the 22nd Amendment.
Yet Obama has plenty of help, and Christian apologists' watch their ranks grow even as it becomes plain that some in Islam plan for global domination. Crazy to believe, you say? Not according to imam Jamal Hammoud — "senior imam" of the Calgary Muslim community — who states to his faithful:
We have reason to get together and to love each other and to go paint and to paint our future especially in a country like this [Canada] as minority. Muslims are minority in this country [Canada] and Allah Willing in the future they will be, Allah Willing majority. So far we are minority, so when we get together this is kind of jihad in a way.
Don't fool yourself; Canada is not unique. Inside two generations, it is possible that Islam will be deciding U.S. elections.
Churchill's Black Dog
Winston Churchill used to call his depressive moods his "black dog." He saw another dog in the word as well, and it was Islam. Great Britain used to be the vanguard protecting Western ideals and liberal democratic ideals. That empire, unlike America under Obama, had no illusions as to Islam's global goals. Churchill said:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
Looking back, progressives disdain Churchill for such language, which they call racist. In 50 years, how will America look back at Obama's leadership and the prone position he has put us in rather than facing up to this global black dog?
Yours in good times and bad,
–John Myers

Sailing dates back millenia. In the 15th and 16th centuries, European countries developed navigation techniques which aided their discovery of distant lands. Alongside Portugal, Spain and England, one of the leading maritime powers was the Netherlands – and it was there that sailing first arose as a sport.
Occupying colonies in the Americas and Africa, very far from home, the Dutch needed to find a way to transport goods more rapidly and safely. As a result, they created the jaghtstchipt, a vessel that, aside from its economic importance, was also of great value to sailors, who now had better equipment with which to face the high seas.
While he was exiled in the Netherlands, King Charles II of England became a fan of the vessel, called jaght for short (hence the word yacht in English). He proposed improvement in the design and even developed other boats. In the late 1660s, he organised the first regattas in British waters.
In 1720, the Royal Cork Yacht Club was founded in Ireland – the oldest sailing club in the world. However, it was only in 1851 that the first international sailing race was held, between England and the United States, around the Isle of Wight. This race gave rise to the America's Cup, which is held to this day. Since then, the sport of sailing has spread across the world.
The sport's popularity made it a part of the Olympic programme at the 1896 Games, the first of the modern era. However, bad weather in Athens meant that Olympic sailing only actually started four years later, at the Paris 1900 Games. Women began to compete as crew members at the 1908 Games in London, and women's events have been held since the Seoul 1988 Games.
With the exception of 1904, sailing has always featured in the Olympic programme, with different classes, which have evolved in line with the technology used in boats. To standardise the rules, the International Yacht Racing Union was founded in 1907. In 1996, this organisation changed its name to International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
There are boats for just one sailor, such as the Laser, and others for two, such as the 470. The Olympic Games use standardised classes of vessels, meaning that boats in the same class are identical in terms of their hull measurements and other specifications. This means that sailors have to use their own technical prowess to gain higher speeds. Characteristics such as weight also count: very light sailors tend not to perform well in classes such as the Finn, where a lot of strength is demanded.
Each Olympic event is divided into a series of regattas, for which points are awarded in line with a vessel's finishing position: at each regatta, the winner gains one point, two points are given for second place, and so on. These points are added up, and the 10 best-ranking competitors go through to the final regatta (medal race). Unlike in most competitions, the champion is the individual or team with the lowest total score.

In both contexts, subjects related their subjective craving for alcohol and estimated how much they would drink based on an increasing price scale. The presence of their favorite beer significantly increased craving for alcohol but also significantly increased the relative value of alcohol in behavioral economic terms. Subjects reported they would drink significantly more alcohol at low prices, they would spend more money in total on alcohol and they would continue to drink at higher prices.
While this may seem intuitive and a matter of common sense, behavioral economic methods have not been extensively applied to understand craving in the past. The new information may be useful, for example, in understanding the paradoxical behavior exhibited by addicts who commonly vacillate from wanting to quit drinking, smoking or using other drugs to reversing course and continuing to use.
More broadly, behavioral economics may have diverse applications to alcohol and drug misuse, from improving measurement in research to informing policymakers with regard to tax policy.
"Assessing craving using behavioral economic variables gives us a different and more complete understanding of how craving and decision-making interact," said MacKillop. "We believe this work is both interesting and exciting and has the capacity to help us understand craving much better than we have before."
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in 2001, heavy drinking was reported by 5.7 percent of the population aged 12 or older, or 12.9 million people. Among youths aged 12 to 17, an estimated 17.3 percent used alcohol in the month prior to the survey interview. Of all youths, 10.6 percent were binge drinkers,

The Century Building at 33 East 17th Street between Park Avenue South and Broadway on Union Square in Manhattan, New York City, was designed by William Schickel in the Queen Anne style and built in 1880–1881 as the headquarters of the Century Publishing Company, which published the popular The Century Magazine for adults and St. Nicholas Magazine for children.[2][3]
The building, which is unusual in being a commercial building in the Queen Anne style,[2] was vacant in recent years before having its facade restored in 1994–1995 by Li/Saltzman Architects[3] to be a Barnes & Noble retail bookstore, which has four selling floors. It was designated a New York City landmark in 1993,[2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]

Hi all
I just bought a TQi 4 channel radio and am having some trouble getting it to work with my revo. I'm probably just missing something so hopefully you guys can help me out. Its a 6507 model and the old style 3.3 revo if it helps. Anyway when I hook the reciever to the optidrive the only thing that works is the steering, no response from the throttle or the transmission shift. I found the instruction very vague as far as initital installation but I'm most likely missing something obvious. I've seen some posts on bad recievers out of the box......hopefully this is not the case.

ReverbNation Crowd Review (*Wisdom of Crowds), Takes Aim at the Lou Mars Band Track "Whispering 2 Shout." Comments/Observations from 'Wisdoms of Crowds' Critics: The very beginning sounds of this track are so different to the point that it grabs the listener right in and doesn't let go! This track uses different techniques with the vocals and harmonizing that isn't heard on the everyday radio play. This will definitely grab and hold on! The vocals have the sound as if being sung with a megaphone, or sung "through" a tube which gives it a hollow sound that is different and desirable! This being different makes this song more interesting and gives it better chances to rise up higher in the charts. Believe it or not, it's got a bit of a Beatle quality to it; almost as if there is the Sgt. Pepper album influence in this song. The beat keeps the listener on their toes and the lyrics flow extremely well with the sounds of the drum beats. Very original and the message the vocalist is getting across is heard plain and clear...use your voice and not your fists was my favorite line. This song will definitely make it on the charts and it has potential for a big audience. Very talented high action introduction would appeal to 'hippy'-ish personalities. The lyrics also go hand in hand with the hippy feel that the background track presents. The slight reggae feel presented creates a very enjoyable experience with a very easy to listen to voice over the top of good solid music. This is a strong piece but lacks depth in the lyrical construction as well as there being to much going on instrument wise at some points. That such a magical introduction to song, with a variety of strings instruments perfectly combined and played together, I especially enjoyed how the banjo was played, quite, close strokes that made track stand out right from the beginning. Absolutely adored percussion as exemplified by manner in which drum was played. Really enjoyed 18 first seconds (i.e., intro) of the song. Singer timed his coming in perfectly, but please DO NOT digitally enhanced his voice, song is losing its amazing professional quality because of it! I thought the lyrics as sounded by back sounded better. This is a very good track, just get rid of any digital effects! I enjoy the opening set of strings and the percussive instruments as they come in. I like this song, it reminds me of something that would be on a psychedelic soundtrack, similar to Across The Universe. I don't think that this is something that will make it to the radio, but I do think that it will be a huge hit in the indie music community. One of those bands that you knew first. This song is a really calm song if you are looking for some serenity. This melody is relaxing and tuneful to relax anyone listening to it. The vocals are distinctive and warm hearted. Lyrics make sense and sound good and at the correct tempo with the song. The instrumentals are awesome and in harmony. I loved the horn solo towards the middle because of the variance from the original set of instruments. the melody sounds on key and the melodies used work incredibly well with the harmonies used. the artist has a lot to offer to the music industry. The vibe that this track gives is very strong and bold. I really enjoyed this piece as it combined a folk sound with touches of rock, country, and even a smattering of the Beatles. The percussion is perfect with the drum corps touch tossed in here and there. The horn section was a nice touch. The song has a light and airy quality that I really enjoyed.

The Lou Mars Band to perform a special "Story Teller" show and CD Release party Friday, April 25th, on the 'new' Otter Rock Cafe sound stage, located in Morro Bay California, 885 Embarcadero.
The 90 minute set will feature the most popular original selections from the Lou Mars song catalog, along with NEW material from his 4th and latest CD Release "4NO1" (but u). The set will also include selected covers taken from the Lou Mars Guinness Marathon Drumming World Record documentary "Beat 5." The Otter Rock show will provide an intimate setting for Lou Mars to reveal the back-story behind his most popular songs.
The Lou Mars Band is Jonal Clauff (Guitar Vocals), David Chock (Bass, Vocals), and Lou Mars (Drums, Synth, Vocals).
Professional musician, recording artist and author; Lou Mars, career spans over 30 years. Mars drumming was featured in the 'Dixon Drum Your Way to Hollywood' televised special which aired on the Comcast on demand A&R Channel in 2008. The program was edited and reissued by Dixon in 2010 with Mars as the featured artist titled "How to be a Great Drummer." Mars also appeared in the Warner Brothers recording artist Sharon MaRee music video "The Way You Love Me" which received heavy rotation on the GMC channel in 2009. In 2010 Mars performed for 5 days straight for the Guinness Book World Record Marathon Drumming category, a total of 108.5 hours to place himself as one of only four drummers world-wide to ever play beyond 100 consecutive hours, and the second longest drum performance ever recorded, at the time of the event.
After a near fatal motorcycle accident in 2011, Mars bounced back by writing, composing and performing all of the instruments (many from a wheel chair) for three CD releases "Broken, Phoenix Ashes, and Reflect." produced from 2011 thru 2013. On April 04, 2014 Lou released his 4th CD titled 4NO1 (but u). The Lou Mars song catalog is written as a soundtrack to support his upcoming book release titled "Beat Alive" due out in 2014.
Although Mars performs "all' of the instruments on his recordings, his hand selected band performs the songs live under the Lou Mars Band branding.

By Annie Tucker Morgan
When we're just getting to know someone—a friend, a business associate, a romantic partner—being inquisitive about the other person's background and interests is a healthy and inevitable part of the process. But that doesn't mean it's appropriate to fire off just any question that pops into your mind, no matter how burning your desire to know the answer is. In the case of these seven topics, your curiosity will get you nowhere fast.
1. How much money do you make?
The only times it's acceptable to ask this question are when you're an employer interviewing a prospective employee and need that person's salary history, and when you have a domestic partner with whom you've merged your finances. Otherwise, it's strictly off-limits. Even if you share every other detail of your life with your friends and family members—and even if you choose to be open about how much you make—that doesn't mean anyone is required to disclose his or her earnings to you. Nor are you entitled, just because a friend may have revealed her salary in past positions, to know that information about subsequent jobs she takes. When it comes to money, mum's the word.

Weary Contador Out of Spain Squad for Worlds
Tour de France winner Alberto Contador was left out of Spain's preliminary squad for the 2009 road world championships on Wednesday.
"It was difficult after the long and intense season he has had ... we have spoken and concluded it was best that he doesn't go to Mendrisio," Spain manager Jose Luis De Santos said in a statement on the Spanish federation website (www.rfec.com).
The world championships are in Mendrisio, Switzerland, between Sept. 23 and 27.

Tampa's Steven Stamkos set off a mini firestorm this week just by favoriting a tweet that wondered aloud if he might ever play in Toronto. One month earlier we saw the same thing with Winnipeg's Evander Kane, who favorited a tweet requesting that he come play for the Flyers.
Social media is a wild and wacky world; one that we as a society don't fully understand. I deal with this a lot in my day job. Stuff is just not clear. Twitter's "favorites" feature in particular is kinda poorly designed. It means different things to different people, and the feature is not nearly as private as the name suggests.
But the point I really want to make is this: Alex Ovechkin has favorited just one tweet, and it was his own.

"I wanted to put some sort of punctuation" on the experience of the quake, says Farmer, explaining why he wrote the book.
Sentences form, punctuation is added, and eventually it all turns into a book.
You know how they say Christopher Walken eliminates all punctuation when he works on a script?
1530s, "pointing of the psalms," from Medieval Latin punctuationem (nominative punctuatio) "a marking with points," noun of action from past participle stem of punctuare "to mark with points or dots," from Latin punctus "a prick" (see point (n.)). Meaning "system of inserting pauses in written matter" is recorded from 1660s.
[P]unctuation is cold notation; it is not frustrated speech; it is typographic code. [Robert Bringhurst, "The Elements of Typographic Style," 2004]

CHATURIKA JAYADEWA email@example.com 270005BUA1 active Comment Entries application/atom+xml;type=entry Likes 2012-09-12T04:51:22-04:00 2012-09-12T04:51:22-04:00

Regulatory and market issues are driving change within healthcare & life science organizations. Regulatory requirements such as Meaningful Use and Affordable Care Act in the US are driving a fundamental shift away from the volume-based, fee-for-service model that has dominated the healthcare industry for decades, to a more performance-based, outcomes-driven approach. Payer organizations are mandating more cost-effective care and growing competition is putting pressure on organizations to increase referrals, revenues and profitability. Perhaps most significantly consumer advocacy groups and individual consumers are demanding better consumer safety, access and value, as well as higher-quality. Life science organizations, specifically Pharma are also subject to change with the looming patent cliffs and regulatory pressures (Read more here). These changes are dramatically re-shaping the industry to form a patient centric healthcare ecosystem where healthcare & life science organizations must collaborate and integrate to drive optimum cost effective outcomes sustainably (Patient centric ecosystem) . Organizations across the ecosystem are forced to reconsider their business models, restructure their operations, and redefine what value and success mean for themselves, their consumers and the many stakeholders of these rapidly changing industries. (Read more about redefining value and success in healthcare here)

For organizations to thrive in this dynamic environment they will require new skills competencies that increase agility, improve efficiency, and pave the way for transformation. Healthcare organizations are increasingly using analytics to consume, unlock and apply new insights from information. Using analytics to gain better insights can help demonstrate value and achieve better outcomes, such as new treatments and technologies. Information leading to insight can help informed and educated consumers become more accountable for their own health. Analytics can improve effectiveness and efficiency. From managing small details to large processes, analytics can aid exploration and discovery; help design and plan policy and programs; improve service delivery and operations; enhance sustainability; mitigate risk; and provide a means for measuring and evaluating critical organizational data. Perhaps most important, it can expand access to healthcare, align pay with performance and help hold down growth in healthcare costs (Read about how analytics aid the healthcare reforms here)

Despite the advantages that can be offered by the application of analytics, a number of barriers can slow adoption. Health systems are challenged to deliver enterprise-wide analytics at the current rate of change and transformation within the healthcare industry. Provider organizations need a strategic blueprint and additional skills to successfully implement an enterprise-wide strategy. The skills required include a deep knowledge of how to converge complex data across clinical, operational and financial domains to deliver trusted and meaningful insights that drive new business decisions and transform healthcare.

In a study conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and IBM Institute of Business Value, we found that even in the midst of the information explosion, the ability to get relevant data was cited by almost 40 percent of study participants as the biggest stumbling block for widespread analytics adoption (Read full report here). This is not to imply that data is not available, but goes back to the data paradox, in which the sheer amount of data that must be analyzed inhibits the development of meaningful insights. Fundamentally among these is a culture that does not encourage information sharing, cited by 35 percent of our respondents as a primary obstacle. Other organizational barriers include insufficient management bandwidth due to competing priorities, absence of executive sponsorship, lack of skills internally in a line of business, and not knowing where to start the quest for analytics excellence.

We are currently evaluating how these demands and challenges are specifically affecting the emerging integrated healthcare & life sciences ecosystem. If you would like to be part of this discussion please take a few moments to complete our survey (LINK)

Markets retreatThe wheat markets had losses of 15 to 26 cents last week. The winter wheat markets had the larger losses due to beneficial rains in much of the winter wheat belt and losses in the corn market. Minneapolis wheat had lighter losses due to strong export sales and lingering concerns about dry soil conditions in the Northern Plains. Markets will likely spend this week positioning ahead of the March 30 reports.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great gloves These gloves are a great value considering that they are all leather construction and they don't cost a lot. I wish the air holes were a bit bigger to facilitate more air flow but it wouldn't deter me from purchasing them again. Danny - August 12, 2013 (Savannah, GA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great price for a great glove This is a very sturdily built glove that takes some time to break in. I wound up soaking them in hot water then wearing them around the house for a while to speed that process up. The ventilation is good for warm rides but don't expect these to keep your hands warm on cooler days. I would recommend these gloves! Leonard - November 27, 2012 (Katy, TX) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Nice gloves but...... These felt like a good entry level gauntlet glove. However they were too small for my large hands. I had to send them back. They would fit a normal sized hand perfect. I would up going with the Teknic Chicane gloves. Both short and gauntlet because of the longer fingers. I wish these would have fit they were great feeling gloves.

Seemed well made, fingers were a bit longer than other gloves I have had but no biggy there. I will say though they felt less substantial that the Cortech Scarab RR Gloves they are replacing. This was especially true in the palm area. They are more expensive also. Ended up returning them and paying about 40 buck more to get a better and different pair. Overall not bad gloves just don't feel substantial enough for me.

Gould, Bulldogs take title, 87-71
Jay Gould went both ways, playing running back and safety for the Burkburnett football team Friday night. He scored the first touchdown of the game.
But it was the only touchdown the Bulldogs could manage in a 28-6 playoff loss to Abilene Wylie.
Less than 12 hours after football season ended, Gould's basketball season began.
The 6-2 junior showed up at the City View gym early Saturday morning and played in Burk's 81-71 semifinal win in the 27th Fantasy of Lights sponsored by State Farm Insurance.
"I was sore, but I love these guys," said Gould, who made just one basket and scored only six points in his basketball season debut.
Then Saturday night he was back on the court at D.L. Ligon Coliseum, this time scoring 16 points to help the Bulldogs knock off defending champion Oklahoma Community Christian, 88-71, and win the boys Division II championship.
"I really wasn't 100 percent, but my team needed me," Gould said after scoring 12 straight points, mostly on layups, in a pivotal third quarter that helped the Bulldogs build a 16-point lead over the Royals.
"He's one of those guys, always ready to go," Burk coach Danny Nix said.
This was only the third Fantasy of Lights championship for the Bulldogs, who have lost in the finals four times in the last 19 years.
"Our guys came together today," said Nix, whose team is 6-1 this season.
It was the first loss of the year for the 4-1 Royals from Norman, Okla.
"They're a patient half-court team with great shooters. We wanted to get it going up and down the court, put pressure on them and wear them down. I think we did," Nix said.
Burk pressured the Royals into 22 turnovers. The Dogs also dominated the boards 47-24.
Desmond Strickland, named the tournament MVP, led Burk in scoring with 18 points.
Aaron Thompson, a 6-8 junior, posted a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and senior Kory Livingston came close with 10 points and nine boards.
Thompson and Livingston made the all-tournament team for Burk, as did senior Junior Velez.
The Royals placed guards Shawn Seymour and Bryce Shropshire on the all-tournament team. Seymour, with 20 points, was Community Christian's top scorer in the championship game. Drew Moses was next with 17.
After Gould put the Bulldogs up by 16 late in the third quarter, the Royals scored the final seven points of the quarter and then got the first basket of the final period to get within six.
But Burk got four points each from Thompson and Strickland in a 13-0 run that lasted more than three minutes in the fourth and turned the game into a rout.

Blue Jeans by Versace
This used to be my signature scent back in my teenage years. I loved it. I bought it 3 weeks ago, just because of sentimental purposes and...I hate it now! Can't believe it. Maybe they changed something in the formulation, or maybe my nose changed very much over the years. Anyway, if you like it - go for it, because the price is really good for what you get ( as longevity and projection, and also it doesn't smell cheap)

As for Sevan, when news of the scandal first broke earlier this year, he took a long vacation to Australia.
He declined to answer questions when ABCNEWS found him last week staying at a luxury casino resort.
A U.N. spokesman says Sevan, who makes $186,000 a year, has submitted his retirement papers, effective May 21. The spokesman said Sevan would remain on full salary through the course of the U.N. investigation, which is expected to last at least three months.

If you want to win in the NBA, forget point guards. Go big.
Sep 5, 2011, 6:12 PM EDT
During the summer, we get a buzz watching John Wall say he is back and slash through guys at the Goodman league. Or watching Brandon Jennings cut it up at the Drew League.
We relate to the normal sized guy who can find a way to get it done in the NBA. We love Derrick Rose and crown him MVP in part because we marvel at what he can do at 6'3" as opposed to a Dwight Howard, who is a freak of nature at an athletic 6'11". We don't really relate to the guys 6'11" because we are not near that tall and nobody we know is 6'11". Or taller. We all want the next Jordan, the next Rose, not the next Kareem.
But if you want to win, you need the trees, not the point guards.
Jonathon Tjarks lays it out in a great post at SB Nation.
Since the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol in 2008, they have gone 12-2 in playoff series, either winning the title or losing to the eventual champions. The only two teams that beat them (Boston in 2008, Dallas in 2011) were the only two teams that had the size, length and skill to match the Lakers front-line of Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum….
After making it to the Western Conference Finals in 2007, the Utah Jazz ran into the Lakers three straight seasons — losing 4-2 in 2008, 4-1 in 2009 and 4-0 in 2010. With a front-line that prominently featured the 6'9 Carlos Boozer and the 6'7 Paul Millsap, the Jazz never really had a chance. In 15 playoff games between the two teams, Boozer shot 45% from the field while Gasol shot 58%….
LeBron James is the NBA's best player because of his ability to dominate the paint at 6'9 and 270 pounds, and for all the talk of his mental fragility, the blueprint for beating him has been the same for five years now: a mobile and athletic seven-footer who can cut off his usually overpowering drives at the rim. It was Tim Duncan in 2007, Kevin Garnett in 2008, Dwight Howard in 2009, Garnett again in 2010 and Tyson Chandler in 2011.
Size matters. The old coaching adage is "tall and good beats small and good." You just can't throw a big stiff out there, but if you have a Gasol or Nowitzki or Kevin Garnett you have an advantage over a team with a great point guard and no size in the middle.
Which is something Lakers fans may want to keep in mind when they start talking about trading Gasol or Bynum.

I've felt this way ever since Robert Horry beat the 76ers in Game 3 of the 2001 Finals. The second tallest 76er to Dikembe Mutombo during that play was the 6'5″ Aaron McKie.
The diva shoot-first perimeter player needs less regard now!!! However, extremely tall kids should go to legitimate big man camps and their high school coaches should utilize them properly; instead of letting a Harlem Globe Trotter game take place!!!
