McFarlane Toys is proud to present the second lineup in our NBA Legends series. The six players in this series are all members of the Basketball Hall of Fame, and all contributed to at least one NBA Championship during their careers. Guards control the game in the NBA, and they've assumed full control of our NBA Legends 2 lineup. Take a closer look at some of basketball's best, and enjoy the photography.
CLYDE "THE GLIDE" DREXLER played 11+ seasons for the Portland Trail Blazers, taking his squad to the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. Following a trade to his hometown Houston Rockets in 1995, he partnered with college teammate Hakeem Olajuwon to help Houston repeat as NBA Champions. Drexler is one of only three players in NBA history to amass 20,000 points, 6,000 assists and 6,000 rebounds. His career accomplishments landed him in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004.
EARVIN "MAGIC" JOHNSON was the undisputed leader of the "Showtime" Lakers, bringing five championships to Los Angeles while winning a trio of MVP awards and being named to 12 NBA All-Star teams. Johnson's tremendous contributions as a player, coach, broadcaster and ambassador of the game led to his enshrinement in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002.
OSCAR ROBERTSON spent his first 10 NBA seasons as a Cincinnati Royal -- winning the Rookie of the Year award in 1961, averaging a triple-double in 1962, and winning the NBA MVP award in 1964. Robertson moved on to Milwaukee in 1970, and teamed with Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) to deliver their first championship in 1971. "The Big O" retired in 1974, and was honored as part of the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980.
JERRY WEST joined the Los Angeles Lakers as the second overall selection in the 1960 NBA draft. West was named to the NBA All-Star team 14 times, and overtime-forcing 60-foot shots (like the one in Game Three of the 1970 NBA Finals) earned him the nickname "Mr. Clutch." West delivered Los Angeles' first title in 1972, and was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980.
ISIAH THOMAS spent his entire 13-year pro career as a Detroit Piston. During his tenure, Thomas would win the Rookie of the Year award and be named to 12 All-Star teams (while winning two All-Star MVPs). Thomas was the floor general for the "Bad Boys" Pistons teams that won back-to-back NBA Championships in 1989 and 1990. Thomas was named one of the "50 Greatest Players in NBA History" in 1996, and took his place in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000.
WALT "CLYDE" FRAZIER was a steady and sometimes phenomenal offensive force for the Knicks, but his true hallmarks were running New York's offense (he led the team in assists in each of his seasons as a Knick) while shutting down the opponent's offense (Frazier was selected to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team seven straight years). He wrapped up his career with three seasons in Cleveland, and was named to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987.
NBA Legends 2 is scheduled to arrive in stores late this October.

In the tradition of great music movies, One Direction's feature-film debut has sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll — just without the sex or the drugs.
The Morgan Spurlock-directed 3-D documentary "One Direction: This Is Us" hangs out with Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn backstage, at home and on the road, and comes to the conclusion that the five well-coiffed lads who have conquered the world are, well, pretty nice.
Spurlock, who made his name with socially engaged documentaries such as "Super Size Me" and "Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?," is on a mission to convert unbelievers (and even Beliebers) into One Direction fans.
"These boys are so charming and so fantastic, I challenge you to go to the movie and not like them after the film is done," Spurlock said last week at a news conference with the band ahead of the movie's world premiere Aug. 20 in London.
"Part of the reason they've been so incredibly successful with their fans is that they are so incredibly grounded and normal, and that's what comes off in the movie. ... You see five guys who are the same five guys they were three years ago."
Three years ago the five teenagers auditioned individually for TV talent show "The X Factor," where svengali Simon Cowell had the idea of putting them together as a boy band.
They didn't win the competition, but they went on to top charts and win young hearts around the world with their cheeky personalities and ever-so-slightly edgy pop.
Part concert movie, part behind-the-scenes documentary, "This Is Us" follows One Direction on the road, from London to Tokyo to Mexico City. It promises to show the group as fans have never seen before: up close, personal and in 3-D.
Spurlock was given access to the band members' families as well as to the band members themselves at home, in hotel rooms, in stadiums and on tour buses, though it's unlikely to be a completely candid, warts-and-all look at the band.
Cowell is a producer on the movie, which is aimed firmly at the young global army of "Directioners" who helped make the lads stars.
Spurlock has said he was drawn to the movie by the chance to experience the closest thing our decade will see to Beatlemania.
"You suddenly realize it isn't just a British or an American phenomenon," he said. "Everywhere they go they are being chased by hordes of fans. We were in Mexico City and there's 5,000 people camping outside the hotel. This is such a massive global phenomenon, and it's only growing. It was incredible to see."
For the band members, whose feet have barely touched the ground since 2010, it was a rare chance to reflect on how far they've come.
"Because so much is happening to us you kind of just lose it all," said Louis Tomlinson. "It's great just to sit back and watch it back and remember and relive those moments."
Band mate Liam Payne said making the film had been "nerve-racking." But the lives of the five young men, none of them over 21, have become so surreal that the experience of being filmed offstage and even in bed was almost normal.
"In a way it was really strange having the cameras around, but at the same time it didn't make that much difference," said Harry Styles. "It was kind of just getting on with your day while having someone in your way when you're trying to get out the door."
The band members gently deflected questions about whether scenes of partying or other debauchery had been left on the cutting room floor.
"We like to think we're rock 'n' roll, but we're not, really," said Tomlinson. "It's a shame."
"One Direction: This Is Us" opens in Britain Thursday and in the United States on Friday.

Armageddon 2014
After 3 awesome days of catching up with over 160 paintballers from around the country and scaling the brutal terrain of Widow Woods many times over, my bed has never felt so good.
What an epic weekend it was! Thanks to Bjorn and Ollie from the Auckland Paintball Club for such awesome games. Great effort and many hours of hard work and planning well spent. The atmosphere was incredible and the company was amazing. It was so great to see so many different people from Kaitaia to Queenstown come together and get along so well due to one common interest, Paintball!!!! Its great having so many like-minded people all there to enjoy a great event and have a great time doing what we all love!!!
Paintball is what makes many of us tick. Large events like these really show the popularity of the sport in New Zealand. This is what will really help it grow here and put us on an international level. The event has grown rapidly since 2012 and can only get bigger. The support from so many people was top notch this year meaning much better facilities were available with even bigger plans for next year.
We painted the forest pink and green!
Day 1 was a team-based day; your 3 teams comprised of 3 squads all battling out to be the winner of the day. The day itself was broke into 2×2 hour blocks. It was fought over some tough terrain but was fierce and adrenalin filled battles all the way. Many teams went toe to toe over objectives and the two most fought after objectives were the 'BARREL' and attacking Team MSW. The 'BARREL' objective started at the base of hill in amongst the middle of the speed ball field and had to be taken to Widows Peak which took the yellow team an hour to claim off the red team and fight them and the MSW team to get to the very top. The attack on Team MSW was also a tough fight where each team had to climb through trip wire, dense bush and plenty of fire from this experience team who had a base below Widows peak and plenty of paint and fire power to keep team away, not only that Team MSW would hide in the bushes and wait for unsuspecting team to walk past and be surprised with some well-earned knife kills!!! It was a great spin on last years game day and having over 140 people scattered throughout the field was awesome to see.
Day 2 comprised of two large teams Green Team and Blue Team battling out with Ollie's gadgets. Starting at opposite ends both teams ran out as the horn went to gain field advantage! On top of that there was a ton of team based missions to be completed on the day. Such as lining up the laser system to set off the air strike , take out the 'tank' with a bazooka , escorting the tank through the middle of the field , holding down electronic boxes to gain points also keeping a close eye on enemy air drops of players behind you and lastly a 5 man speedball game while we are in the field fighting it out. This game day went on for 5 hours straight and was good hard fight with both teams doing their best to come out on top.
Overall it was a great success and had many satisfied and hungry players for the next Armageddon. Once again Armageddon as an event has grown from strength to strength and continues to attract players from all over NZ, and will continue to create new game days, create new props for games and find new ways to create a greater experience for players every year.
We have to again thank Dye for their prizes they provided once again, it made the players day receiving them, and for your guy's ongoing support of paintball in NZ. Your support helps draws players attention that companies like yourself would be happy to jump on board and support local events even as far away as New Zealand. The last thank you goes to my man Devon, for all your help man its awesome.

I'm sorry if you don't like Twitter, but I hardly see how it's done a discourtesy to you to discuss your work in that medium as opposed to an email or a blog post or whatever.
But be that as it may, I stand by the point about policy content. In both your piece on "the fundamental question" and then in that followup you go on at some length about the different perspective your background gives you and your dark suspicion that my own life has led me to some erroneous conclusions, but you don't really say what it is you think ought to be done that "wonky" bloggers (like, say, me) disagree with. Does power matter? Yes, it does, I agree.

Yglesias responds
24 comments:
You can tell Yglesias is an establishmentarian because he's managed to miss your actual point, to say nothing of your adulation for his work. You complained, and you had to be taught a lesson, he seems to have thought.
You may respect Yglesias, Freddie, that's fair enough, but the few times I've tried to read his blog, and the many times I've seen him referred to on other blogs, it's impossible to escape that unfortunately he's a complete tit.
- April 14, 2011 at 8:27 PM
Yeah, I think I finally understand IOZ's relentless mockery.
- April 14, 2011 at 8:42 PM
The more you post about this, the less I find myself agreeing with you. I'm starting to see it as if it's like someone you both loved died and you're angry because you don't think he's crying hard enough, even though you know he's just as hurt, it still bugs.
Weird/silly/creepy analogy, whatever. I'm tired of the Freddie, Yglesias saga. What are you two even arguing about at this point?

I didn't start it. But, look, more to the point-- just go.

Dude, I love your writing, I'm not going anywhere.
- April 14, 2011 at 9:46 PM
I agree with Freddy more often than I agree with Yglesias.
I agree with John Cole more often than I agree with Sullivan.
However I usually read Yglesias and Sullivan first. Why? They are good writers who are well-read themselves. Even though I disagree I learn something. A good blog is grounded in lots of history, lots of information.
- April 14, 2011 at 9:52 PM
Actually this reminds me of Wilkinson's comment on your initial 'comeback' post ... i.e. that socialism hasn't really produced many good policy ideas. There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, but at a certain point, you need to give like a concrete workable agenda that actually has a chance of being implemented, no? Rather than just saying "labor unions, no exceptions!" or "Debs!"

I don't get this. I think you've got to forgive your readers here that maybe don't know the rest of the story here.
Let's just accept we know your critique of the G/G/G model of liberalism that we can associate with MattY. Then one day I see you posting at Balloon Juice calling out the prominent advocates (such as Matt) as a huge problem for liberalism, now this. Maybe I missed something?
No matter what the mode of delivery - isn't Matt's crritique perfectly fair? So what should be done differently? He's posting 10 times a day hammering on issues and trying to push the conversation left, which ones aren't left enough for you? What should be said/done instead?
- April 14, 2011 at 10:21 PM
Maybe it's just the anarchist in me talking, but I guess I don't see why "policy" is the sum total of human activity. I think this response pretty much exemplifies the Yglesias point of view, which is that the government is all there is. Never mind "policy" for a second, how about just talking up unions? If he wants them to have more power, as he says he does, why not try to rehabilitate their reputation a little, instead of prematurely declaring them dead? You could just as easily say the time of public transportation is over, but he loves public transportation, so he big-ups it all the time. You know?

That is simply not an accurate representation of what I've ever done.
I guess I don't see why "policy" is the sum total of human activity.
This. Patient explainers are always patiently explaining away huge swaths of what's necessary for the human experience.
- April 15, 2011 at 8:57 AM
I really don't know what Yglesias' problem is with you.
He's said at quite a few times over the years that the language of the left-liberals needs to be much more strident and emotional.
And here you are, offering that kind of language and arguing for its absolute necessity, and he gets all snippy with you for not having enough charts or something.

Maybe I'm just not being charitable enough in my reading. I know you're you'll say you're just agitating for more focus on labor. But that's not what it reads to me. It reads as the wonks are selling out the workers and that's an existential issue for liberalism.
I don't think you can just say you don't have to have policy prescriptions here. You're talking political problems. The solution to political problems are necessarily policies, otherwise they wouldn't be political problems.
How should we get workers a real voice and a real seat at the table? What must we do to preserve what unions have done for us and ensure they can continue to act as counterweight to the business elite? How does the labor movement get it's message to resonate with the lives of the majority of American workers that aren't unionized?
I agree the American Labor movement has a woefully insufficient voice in American political discourse, but I don't think it's because the wonks are insufficiently enamored of labor unions as the main vehicle for the improving the lives of the great majority of people. I think it's because in winning the political battles of an earlier era, the Big Labor in America has boxed itself in to a role that can't deal with demographic and economic changes, yet remains powerful enough within that role to resist the changes necessary to become relevant in Southern states and among white-collar workers. Of course we can disagree on this and my version is very superficial as stated. But the key difference to me is it leads to discussion of what actions are needed to remedy the situation.
If you're not pushing for concrete things to happen – if you're just saying we need to respect labor more, aren't you just doing what you said doesn't work? Aren't you asking for the establishment to give you what you think you deserve instead of fighting for it?

Jesus Christ, it's not hard to grasp. After a few too many years of reading Yggie and keeping my gorge down, it's pretty clear to me that he finds nothing wrong with a neo-liberal model in which Rubin, Geithner, Paulson, and Jamie Dimon run the economy for their benefit, and we get a (fraying, cut, cut, cut) social safety net funded by the (dwindling) taxes of these elites. Should we maybe break up the banks or take another look at our economic model, where productive labor is idled and so many resources are funneled into a parasitic financial sector? Nope. Yggie is openly agnostic on these issues, indifferent to if not hostile to efforts to organize labor, and famously declared that we couldn't make any more significant commitments to the social safety net. It's all about technocratic efficiency, man, working smarter, not harder, etc.
Yggie, in other words, is not the man to talk to if you're concerned about the 30-year rise of a model of capitalism (see link below) that's about short-term profit, beggaring workers, and destroying the communities associated with them. If you didn't go to Harvard and become a full paid-up member of the "creative class" like him, or at least a "knowledge worker," you are part of the past, so dig a hole and get buried already, son. Other people, like Freddie, think we ought to give a shit about static or declining incomes, lost jobs, fraying families, and all the lovely social dysfunction (crime, suicide, depression, health crises, spousal and child abuse) that happens when you squeeze ordinary people where it hurts. That's the difference. Yggie lives in an economy of wonderful abstraction where none of these ills seem to register on him and/or animate him, while Freddie cares about the world where we actually live, work, eat, love, fuck, etc.
We can talk about specific measures to address this problem (reforming the labor laws to make it easier to organize, hiking the tax rates on the rich, tightly regulating corporate governance and financial "innovation," spending money on productive infrastructure investments that would spin off paying work, etc.). But first you have to recognize that it's a serious problem, THE serious problem facing us as a country, with all the urgency that entails. I see no indication that Yggie does. So part of the effort that has to happen before we can discuss concrete measures (that some of the commenters were chiding Freddie about so knowingly) and get both popular and elite support for them, is for our liberal opinion "leaders" to wake the fuck up about this and not shit on anyone who insists that it's a problem and needs to be dealt with, urgently, now. But if Yggie and Ezra and Kevin Drum and all the rest continue to use their role as highly visible gatekeepers of "the left" to limit the discourse to bloodless, technocratic, trickle down, "the perfect is the enemy of the good" and 10%-less-shitty talk, we're not going to get anywhere. So why not make a start and call them out on their blinkered view of this problem, and insist that they (and everyone else) not ignore it? That kind of agitation is the Lord's work, and we need more of it, not less.

I think Y's recent article about the Federal Reserve is precisely about finding policy keys to empower labor (which is in distinct contrast to the Rubin/Greenspan 1990s neoliberal consensus). Compare Konzcal's followups about the transcripts of the FOMC's from that period specifically going the *other* way from what the AFL-CIO said. I think there's a lot to dislike about Y's policy ideas, especially his apparent ambivalence about collective bargaining and public employees, but I don't think it's actually true that his goals don't include empowering labor as such. I think he's skeptical that there are paths to that outcome, but that's not the same as not desiring it, and that's also why it's in his favor that he's digging into things like Fed policy as obscure but real triggers to meaningfully change that balance.
So I tend to think this critique of Yglesias is largely off base, and is focusing on a narrow set of disagreements rather than worldview issues. His repeated synergies with Konzcal, who apparently is trusted as a labor liberal with policy/finance interests, seems like evidence in his favor.

Who ever said my Balloon Juice piece was about Yglesias specifically, besides Yglesias?
- April 15, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Yglesias is a technocrat. He looks at Washington like an engineer would look at a broken machine, and sees his task as suggesting ways to fix it.
He is most distorting when he tries to fit questions that are not at all amenable to being considered in technocratic terms into this frame, just to be able to generate a 'solution'.
To a technocrat, American politics looks like a broken, fixable tool. Technocrats prefer to talk about it as such: in fact, they live for it. They're capable of discussing it in other ways, but the solutions they are able to produce in these regards they find less enchanting; they convince few. So their advice is only good for fixing the aspects of American politics that are like those of a tool.
Let's judge how like a tool is American politics by how successful they prove to be.

I read and enjoy Yglesias, but the salient point for me is that his vision of employment in a post-industrial American economy heavily emphasizes yoga instructors. This is not encouraging.

Less taunting of est. bloggers, more convincing people of your points, please.
99.9% of those reading this post get how MY sucks *and* how he's good. This is not new.
We need more voices arguing for actual lefty positions, not more voices saying "that guy over there sucks!" Only a tiny slice of America are blog readers, only a tiny slice of that read lefty blogs and know MY, and only a tiny slice of that want to finally resolve the question: "Are the policy positions of Matt Yglesias 100% correct"? If not, what factors led him to such positions? (could it be that he works for a think tank that is one in the same as the Obama admin!?!?)
I vote more focus on "true" lefty issues -- you're an awesome writer, put your skills to use on things more people care about so we can change minds about issues, rather than wasting our time and energy bickering online.

You have in your own blogging singled Yglesias out as representative of the kind of liberalism you want to challenge (though by all means you didn't say your critique was limited to his expressions of it alone). But in any case, it seems to me you made your post considerably more "about" him by responding to his tweet that merely questioned your idea, by not just substantively responding, but by calling on him to "stand up and be counted!" Now you want to pretend you haven't made this about him, whether in this exchange or in your explicit linkage of his name to the liberalism you resist? Why are you bothering to play this game?
- April 17, 2011 at 11:54 PM
One thing I didn't like about the whole "Yglesias was a private school baby" thing was that it's morally agnostic. Rich people (such as Yglesias's family) who insist on sending their kids to a normal public (not a plush Long Island public, but say, a normal NYC public) are basically setting their kids for serious mental problems. They're going to be identified in school by chiefly their wealth rather than intrinsic qualities.
Any schooling environment in which the presence or non-presence of personal wealth is a notable thing is basically an environment that creates psychological problems down the road. This is why I want to bang my head every time this issue comes up: the price is (serious) psychological problems for innocent kids. The ones that don't become druggies become monomaniacs who have to "live up" to the expectations of their background.

Awful lot of patient explaining going on here.
- April 18, 2011 at 8:27 AM
Is this a trick question, or a pop quiz to make sure we've been paying attention? Um, *you* said it's about Yglesias, Freddie:
"April 12th, 2011 at 9:32 pm [...] As for who I'm talking about, if you check out the two links you'll see who I'm talking about. Yglesias is certainly the most open and enthusiastic in this regard, but there are many others. Ryan Avent, Dylan Matthews, Brad Delong."

Scientists using underwater sensors to explore Lake Rotomahana in New Zealand have uncovered remnants of the Pink Terraces," once considered the eighth natural wonder of the world.

BP's leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico was conclusively sealed this week, but even now questions remain about the amount of oil that actually came out of it. Now, in the first independent, peer-reviewed paper on the leak's volume, scientists have affirmed heightened estimates of what is now acknowledged as the largest marine oil accident ever.
July 06, 2010
John Diebold, a marine scientist who sailed the world's oceans for more than four decades using sound waves to study earthquake faults, underwater volcanoes and other normally hidden features of the seabed, died on July 1 at his home in Nyack, N.Y. The apparent cause was a heart attack, his family said; he was 66.

U.S. scientists working on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico have made the most promising discovery so far of marine gas hydrate, a possible new energy source.
Potential Alternative Fuel, Usually Too Thinly Spread to Exploit

What causes the peaks and valleys of the world's great mountains? For continental ranges like the Appalachians or the Northwest's Cascades, the geological picture is clearer. Continents crash or volcanoes erupt, then glaciers erode away. Yet scientists are still puzzling out what makes the highs high and the lows low for the planet's largest mountain chain, the 55,000-mile-long Mid-Ocean Ridge.

Medical helicopters can land on top of Community Regional Medical Center's rooftop 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but it's not every day a 22,000-pound S-70 Black Hawk (UH-60) multi-mission helicopter arrives.
Community Regional recently held an emergency disaster and preparedness drill in which the safety team created a disaster scenario for hospital staff. This three-day disaster drill was a reenactment of an 8.5 earthquake where "patients" arrived via helicopter.
Thinking back 20 years ago, Craig Castro remembers the news about a hospital opening out in Clovis, but never began to imagine what a part he would play in its success today.
Now at the helm of Clovis Community Medical Center as CEO for a little more than two years, Castro is leading his team through a two-phase expansion that continues to establish the hospital's dedication to building leading-edge facilities and providing superior service for area residents.
Two new, high-tech operating rooms were unveiled at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital this month, providing ideal amenities and features for minimally-invasive surgeries.
Dr. Richard Berquist, a family practice physician and emergency medicine doctor with Community Medical Providers, looks a decade younger than his 50-something age. He's buff and tan from daily kayaking, roller-blading and yoga. He eats a low-fat, semi-vegetarian diet and keeps his cholesterol low. He's the last person anyone would suspect had a serious heart problem – even an expert like him.
But Dr. Berquist said when he hit his early 50s he decided to take the advice he gives his own patients and do a cardiac stress test on a treadmill.
Community Regional Medical Center launches Errand Solutions, a concierge and errand running service for its employees, on Aug. 26 and 27.
The new service is designed to assist employees in completing everyday errands while they work. Services offered include dry cleaning, automotive repair, oil changes, gift shopping, vacation and party planning, free gift wrapping, discounted tickets to movies and theme parks and more.

Here's the thing. Guys like Anderson Silva and Jon Jones are in excellent physical condition, but they are also incredibly mentally focused and tough, not to mention they have a VERY high fight IQ. they can be creative in there and get away with a lot of things other fighters can't. Now to my knowledge wiedman's most exotic finish was a standing elbow. Expertly thrown for sure, but technique wise I think Anderson's forgotten more than Weidman may ever learn. If Anderson's body and mind are in harmony, I can't see anyone outside of Jon Jones beating him. There is nothing Weidman brings that Anderson has not seen and successfully dealt with, and after tonight all that hype goes away for Weidman and people will say Anderson beat a green kid who wasn't ready for that level. It's a no win situation for him.
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee
Chris lacks Dan's OHR KO power and his clinchwork, obviously.
Belfort also gave up 6 or 7 inches in overall length, and also has inconsistent cardio concerns. He's clearly a far better striker than Weidman, and while he's approaching Silva [now] in terms of versatility, at the time he faced Anderson he wasn't. He's always eclipsed Silva in terms of handspeed, and their power and accuracy is/was pretty close. But that length is a huge deficit to overcome against a fighter of Anderson's calibre. Very simply, Belfort is not a great grappler.
Again, I don't believe Chris wins this fight, but think he's a superior threat to Anderson than either fighter you've mentioned.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
I haven't watched Chris as much as I would of liked coming up through the competition, but I see the need for a fast start/ never let Silva get going. As said if Silva's mind and body are in harmony almost unstoppable. I don't like how and when this fight finally got to take place, as I see it all favors Silva. As much as I dislike Soares can't say he hasn't made the odds better for Silva. Just not a fan of his tactic's
Weidman's only chance at winning this fight IMHO is on the ground where reach won't be that much of a factor between these two anyways.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
Nog has exactly one inch of length advantage on Silva--yet another illustration of how size has always played a role in Silva's [and GSP's, for that matter] dominance.It should also be noted that Silva rolls and boxes with heavyweights like Big Nog so I don't see where Weidman really brings anything new to the table in terms of striking where reach matters.
I don't think Chris wins this one. I think it plays out a lot like GSP/Hughes I. Flashes of greatness from a challenger, but an aging lion is still a lion...I think Silva's experience trumps Weidman's jitters.Weidman's only chance at winning this fight IMHO is on the ground where reach won't be that much of a factor between these two anyways.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
First off I think Silva is going to win. Like RH said it just too soon for Weidman at the moment. We can all see the skills he has and yes one day he will be MW Champion and he be a great MW champion, but tonight is not going to be his night.
Silva is not going to school but he will pull it off when Weidman makes a mistake because thats the main issue when fighting Silva. If you make a mistake he ends the fight. It just takes one. The second fight with Sonnen looked a lot like the first, he does that stupid spinning back fist, slips and Silva ends the fight. If someone did that with GSP or Bendo, they would live to fight another round but against Silva it is game over. I think Weidman will do very well, beat up Silva a little then he will make a mistake that will either lead to a stiff right jab or knee to the chest and Silva will be all over him and finish the fight.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
Ben Askren
I think Silva by 1st or 2nd round KO. Weidman is still unproven and coming off an injury. Even if Weidman gets Silva on the ground, Silva is really great off his back and it is only a matter of time while the fight is standing.
Anderson is really an awesome fighter, but age is an important factor and I do not see him clowning and schooling Weidman.
I will be rooting for Anderson, but Weidman IMO has a legit chance of beating him. Anderson's weakness is wrestling, and if Weidman has good sub defense, he can win this.

Traitor hater, part 2Written by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
NOTE: The original version of this column was published Aug. 10, 2008. It is more relevant now than then.
As we are all too often reminded, it's not a perfect world. Sometimes the bad guys get away, the good guys make bad choices and innocent people catch the shrapnel.
The instability is constant because unpredictability is an intrinsic human trait. A more cynical view would replace "unpredictability" with "unreliability."
Karma usually has the last word, and while there's no empirical evidence of cosmic justice in the afterlife, it's human nature to believe the big wheel of consequence transports good people to their destination while crushing bad people along the way. My guess is, that's about 80 percent accurate.
What happens to those who betray confidence and intentionally abandon friends and family? What happens to those who steal and lie and intimidate people? Perhaps this dirty dozen of historical and fictional examples will offer some solace to the aggrieved.
1. Judas Iscariot: For 30 pieces of silver, Judas betrayed Jesus Christ and set the Crucifixion in motion. Depending on the source material, Judas hanged himself, was stoned to death or had his bowels spilled in a field, none of which is a happy ending.
2. Benedict Arnold: Feeling unappreciated and slighted, the George Washington-appointed commandant of Philadelphia took more than 10,000 British pounds, a pension and some land in Canada for working with John Andre to give West Point secrets to the British. Upon capture, Andre was executed. Arnold escaped and eventually fled to London, where he died of gout, dropsy and delirium.
3. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in "Hamlet": Shakespeare makes the ultimate case for killing the messengers for the message: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are longtime friends with Hamlet, but serve as spies for the evil and murderous King Claudius. They are sent on a mission to see Hamlet killed, but the downbeat prince turns the tables and the two betrayers are sent to their deaths.
4. Scar: More regicidal hijinks. In "The Lion King," jealous Scar arranges the death of his brother, King Mufasa, in a wildebeest stampede. Scar lives the high life for a while, but eventually his greed and disregard for friends and family lead to his being torn apart by the very hyenas he once partnered with. Are you noticing a trend here?
5. Brutus: Betrayed Julius Caesar, leading the 44 B.C. plot to assassinate the Roman leader. Brutus committed suicide after a military defeat, less than two years after his traitorous act.
6. John Walker Lindh: An American who pleaded guilty to being a member of the Taliban, Lindh received a far-too-easy 20-year prison sentence. He got off light. Charges against him included conspiracy to murder U.S. citizens and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations. In January 2003, Lindh was locked away at the United States Penitentiary, a high-security prison in Victorville, Calif., northeast of Los Angeles.
7. Fredo Corleone: Fredo, the weakest of Don Corleone's sons, betrayed the family off-screen in "The Godfather" and paid for it with his life in "The Godfather II." As played by John Cazale, Fredo was a whiny loser who let delusions of grandeur jeopardize his family and their business. Fredo is shot and dumped in a lake when his brother Michael exacts the inevitable revenge.
8. Iago: Shakespeare's greatest villain is one of the ultimate traitors. Iago pretends to be General Othello's trusted adviser, but systematically destroys Othello's life though scheming and lying. Wez do not see Iago's execution, but it is implied. There was certainly no sequel or spinoff featuring the dastardly traitor.
9. Aldrich Ames: Ames gave the Russians the identities of American spies and other intelligence information. He reportedly jeopardized more than 100 American intelligence efforts. His traitorous actions earned him a reported $4.5 million, blood money for the 10 Americans who were executed as a result of his betrayal. The CIA believes he eventually gave away every U.S. agent who was working against the USSR. He is serving life in prison.
10. Salieri: Salieri, in stage and film incarnations, is jealous of Mozart's talent. He pretends to befriend Amadeus but all the while plots to thwart his career. Eventually, Salieri plots to trick Mozart into writing his own requiem. The stress contributes to Mozart's pauper death. Salieri lives long enough to see his own work forgotten and Mozart's increasingly celebrated.
11. Peter Pettigrew: The entire "Harry Potter" saga spins the way it does because Harry's parents trusted Pettigrew, who betrayed them to ultimate baddie Lord Voldemort. For his reward, Pettigrew spends years as the rat Scabbers, earns the cheery nickname Wormtail, loses a hand and is eventually strangled by the magical prosthetic hand that replaces his filthy, weak natural one.

Some of the show's past guests include: Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper (rock stars), Morgan Gendel (Executive Producer, Spider-Man MTV), Stan Winston (Hollywood creature creator), Don Murphy (Producer, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Spawn 2), Stan Lee (comic book great/Marvel founder), Rob Dibble (ESPN), Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live), Jimmy Kimmel (late night host/comedian), Clive Barker (Hollywood horror writer/director), comic book artists Frank Miller and Alex Ross, Rick Reilly (Sports Illustrated columnist), Rusty Wallace (NASCAR driver), Rick Schroder (Hollywood actor), sports commentators Roy Firestone and Jeremy Schaap, baseball players/commentators Curt Schilling, Joe Garagiola Sr., John Kruk, Vida Blue; and others.
For those who've been following for a while, you'll be glad to know the show is once again FREE to listen to via MLB.com. The best way to keep up on the latest news from around baseball and to listen in, is to click on the spawn.com page dedicated to the show. You can hear past clips and listen live when it airs.
And, if you want to ask Todd questions about sports, action figures or any other topic, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com and put Todd McFarlane in the subject line. Listeners can send in questions at any time and they may be read live during the show.

I'm copying what Teresa did to get us going for keeping off the weight over the holidays! So, like before...
We will check in on Tuesdays (starting today) with our current weight, change from last week, goal weight, and a little update. Again, informal thing. Glad to have anyone 'join' anytime!
As Teresa said, join us if you want to lose that baby weight, get in shape for an event or TTC, wear your old clothes, or just stay healthier over the holidays. It helps us all to have a little company on the journey. Hopefully it will help me stop eating several peanut butter cups every day as I sit in my extremely boring cubicle.
So, please join me for our next installment of Weight Loss Buddies!!
Current weight: 146
Goal: Score a 275 on my fitness test (in the military) by mid- December, 130 lbs (-16 lbs) by Jan 31.
Update (actually history today): DH told me I weighted 170 pounds over the weekend (I weigh 146). So obviously I need to loose some of the extra fat I'm carrying around if he thinks I weigh 25 more pounds than I actually do. I joined a gym over the summer but barely used it. Now I'm trying to go to the various aerobics classes 3x a week. Made it yesterday... but too busy with meetings today and tomorrow. So hopefully I'll be able to go Thursday and Friday.

When it comes to buying a home, there's no such
thing as too much information.
Not only do you need the nuts and bolts of the properties
you're shopping, you also have to consider the kind of life you
want while you're living there.
"What are the goals for the home in your life?"
asks Gary Eldred, author of "The 106 Common Mistakes Homebuyers
Make (& How to Avoid Them)." "What do you want this
home to accomplish for you?"
That's the approach Kevin and Kathleen O'Connor
took when they bought their first home last year on Boston's North
"The No. 1 thing that
I have learned is that it is critical to think hard and understand how you live
your life and separate that from the sometimes fiction of what you think you want
in a house," says Kevin O'Connor, host of television's "This Old House"
and "Ask This Old House."
The couple wanted a real
neighborhood within walking distance of shops, parks and other amenities. They
found their perfect home in an 1894 Victorian. "We paid a premium because
of the location," says O'Connor. "But on the other hand, it doesn't
have a garage or a driveway. It's a great house that suits our lifestyle very
well. You forgo some amenities and get some benefits."
Irwin, author of "Home Buyer's Checklist," advises focusing on two things:
How is the home going to fit your needs? And how easy is this house going to be
to resell?
"One of the biggest mistakes people make is
assuming that they will live in a house forever," says Irwin.
sounds counterintuitive because you're buying, why should you look at selling?"
he says. "But it's also an investment, and from an investment perspective
you have to be looking at selling."
Curb your enthusiasm The
most important advice for potential buyers? Don't get emotionally involved.

really looked at it," says Stephen Gladstone, president of the American Society
of Home Inspectors. "They really should be looking at quality as well as
So give that potential home the critical eye.
very important for the home buyer to look at the outside of the house from the
curb," says Kenneth Austin, co-author of "The Homebuyer's Inspection
Guide." "Does it have curb appeal? That's going to give you a great
clue as to how the rest of the house has been maintained."
I look at a house, the first thing I do when I get out of the truck is look at
the overall location of how it sits on the lot," says Tom Silva, general
contractor for "This Old House" and "Ask This Old House."
Silva eyeballs the roof line (dipped or crooked could mean
rot, rust or a structural problem with a joist or rafter). Ditto the line of the
windows. "If the sills are straight -- that's a good thing," says Silva,
also a professional contractor with Mass.-based Silva Brothers Construction.
also looks at the roll of the land in relation to the house, which can be an important
factor for drainage problems. "Does [the lot] pitch to the house? And even
though it does, is there means for water to get disbursed before it enters the
Does the exterior show signs of water damage?
Savvy buyers also look at the roof, which can be expensive
to replace.
"Look for signs of deterioration or damage,"
Gladstone says.
Some clues: Do the shingles look worn or warped?
If wood, are they covered with mold or moss? Are they cracking or curling? If
the roof is a flat membrane, is it ripped? Does it have an alligator skin-like
Check the siding too, Gladstone says. First check
out the paint: "Is there peeling, bubbling or stain damage? Does it look
worn or thin? Are there sections of the siding that look damaged? Are there holes
or loose pieces?"
Do you see cracks in the exterior brick?
"Ask why," says Strong. "What has settled that the brick should
crack?" While it doesn't mean you should pass on the house, it is a sign
that you need a qualified expert to examine the situation before you buy, he says.
insight "Beware of a home that has a lot of awkward
features like a bathroom off a kitchen or a bedroom off a living room. They can
be expensive to change," Irwin says. "You might be willing to live with
it, but it might make it difficult to sell later on."
features that can affect resale: small bathrooms or less than two bathrooms; less
than three bedrooms; (with some exceptions, like golf course condos); carports;
one-car garages; homes that are atypical of the neighborhood, or a pool, which
can be a plus or a minus.
When you tour the house, be nosy.
Open closet doors. Walk through the attic, garage and basement. Note how well
the yard is kept.
Those normally hidden spaces "are a
barometer of how well it's been taken care of in the past." says James Katen,
a home inspector and the owner of Benchmark Inspection Services in Gaston, Ore.

properly, says Gladstone.
Walk corner to corner in large rooms
and pace the length of long hallways or stairways. Feel any depressions or dips?
the condition of the floor, says Silva. "Is it bubbled?"
diagonal cracks above the interior door jams or windows
and windows that don't open properly could signal a foundation problem, Strong
When you walk through the basement and stick your
head in the attic, do you smell mold? Are there pots and pans to collect water?
"Magazines and papers stacked on the [basement] floor
are a good sign -- no water," says Austin. On the other hand, fresh paint,
rust on the furnace or everything up off the ground "may be telling you something,"
he says.
Test out the heating and air conditioning systems.
"Something I'm finding in a lot of new construction are messed up HVAC systems,"
says Kurt Mittenbuler, a home inspector with Kurt Mittenbuler & Associates
in Chicago. In trying to cram more space into a home, he says, builders are putting
vents and ducts in less than optimal places. As a result, "people are building
million-dollar homes that don't heat or cool properly," he says.
also looking for signs of quality, says Gladstone. What are the materials that
are used in the home? Are they typical of the neighborhood?
many times, he says, potential buyers are focused on the wrong things. "Everyone
worries about the furnace," says Mittenbuler. "But furnaces are one
of the cheapest things in a house (about $3,000)," he says. "In the
market I work with, a couple of broken windows can be $3,000."
if you are planning on remodeling yourself, make sure the home is up to the job.
worries about load-bearing walls," he says. "That's the easy part."
The real test? "Where's the duct work? It's not so much about where the load-bearing
walls are, it's about where are the mechanical systems."
house has its secrets "Talk to the present owners -- what sorts
of things have they done to the house while it's been in their care?" says
Katen. If they've done a lot of the work themselves, "proceed with caution,"
he says. "Next to water, a house's greatest enemy is an eager homeowner/repairman."
You also need to find out about the environmental factors.
"In houses built before 1978, the odds are they used lead paint," says
Ron Phipps, principal broker with Phipps Realty & Relocation Services in Warwick,
R.I. "The cost to cure can be significant. You need to know that going in,
and you need to be aware of what the state laws are."

copies of the utility bills," says Eldred, who says the information is public
for many utility companies. If that's not possible in your area, ask the seller
to get them for you.
It's also easy to underestimate taxes.
"Understand that last year's property taxes won't necessarily be the amount
you pay as a new buyer," says Eldred. "Many states have caps on property
Instead, call the tax office, verify your rate
as a new buyer and find out what exemptions you could claim.
if you're buying a condominium, "beware of condo commandos," says Eldred.
You want to talk to enough residents that you know the condo board has a smooth
working relationship with the community. And you want to see enough financial
information to be certain that the association is well funded and that there isn't
a special assessment in your future.

buy a home without one -- there are things you can do to detect problems.
is no reason in the world when you're walking through the house with the [agent]
or owner not to do a mini-inspection," says Gladstone. "Most sellers
are prepared for that."
So open those kitchen cabinets,
the oven door and the dishwasher. Check out the refrigerator if it comes with
the house.
"Go in the kitchen and turn on the microwave
and see if the lights dim," says Strong. "Turn on the air conditioning
and see if the lights flicker. If they do, that means the wiring is undersized."
How old are the pipes? If it has a new bathroom, or you're
planning to install one, can the existing plumbing and hot water heater handle
the job?
If you're serious about buying a particular house,

also want to see what your potential home is like on different days of the week,
different times of the day and in various weather conditions. And don't forget
to try out your commute, Eldred says.
Call your insurance agent.
"Previously, if the home had a [water or mold] claim, it can be difficult
or impossible to get insurance," says Irwin. Also ask about flood plains,
earthquake zones and any other location-related risks.
don't forget to talk to the neighbors. "People will be very open," says
Austin. Ask: "Is there anything I need to know about what's happening in
the general area?" Do the same thing at the local municipal office. Whether
it's a new dump or a road expansion, "you don't know about these things,
and you don't want any surprises," he says.
bottom line: do your homework," says Austin. For most people, "it's
the biggest investment anyone will make in their lifetime."

Cycle of Life
by AMNH on
Curator Laurel Kendall was visiting Vietnam to collect artifacts for the 2003 exhibition Vietnam: Journeys of Body, Mind, and Spirit when she encountered an exceptional artisan near Hanoi. His medium was paper, and his specialty was creating votive offerings used in funeral rituals by the Kinh people, Vietnam's majority population.
The Kinh, in common with some other East Asian peoples, believe that a deceased leaves the underworld 49 days after death to begin a new life. Family members burn paper objects—representing clothing, housewares, and other necessities—to equip their loved ones for the transition to the afterlife.
New Media at the Museum
by AMNH on
This Thursday, February 16, scientists, writers, and educators will gather for a panel discussion of how social media change the landscape of science communication. Beyond a Trend: Enhancing Science Communication Through Social Mediawill feature Ruth Cohen, the Museum's senior director of education strategic initiatives and director of the Center for Lifelong Learning, Carl Zimmer, science journalist and author of Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed, Ben Lillie, co-organizer of The Story Collider, and BBC journalist Matt Danzicoas panelists.

Darwin's Manuscripts, Now Online
by AMNH on
What better way to celebrate Charles Darwin's 203rd birthday than by reading the famed naturalist's scientific works in his own handwriting? You can do just that on Sunday, February, 12—also known as "Darwin Day"—and every day after on the Darwin Manuscripts Project website.
Free and available to all online, the Darwin Manuscripts Project is the most comprehensive catalogue of Darwin's scientific manuscripts ever compiled. The project is based at the American Museum of Natural History and developed in close collaboration with Cambridge University Library, whose physical collection is the foundation of the new database, and the Biodiversity Heritage Library—represented by the Natural History Museum in London. This new tool will also include holdings from all other library—based Darwin collections globally.
Behind the Scenes of Creatures of Light
by AMNH on
Curator John Sparks will be blogging weekly about the upcoming exhibition, Creatures of Light, which opens on Saturday, March 31.
In just a little over a month, on March 31, the American Museum of Natural History will open our latest exhibition, Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence,which focuses on the amazing diversity of organisms that produce light across every conceivable habitat. Every exhibition we produce is a collaboration between the Museum's research scientists and the exhibition team, which includes writers, designers, artists, and media specialists. I'm the curator for this exhibition, which means that I oversee the scientific content and bring expertise from my research—in this case, on the evolution of bioluminescent signaling systems in marine fishes.We're hard at work on the show this month, and I'll be writing weekly posts from behind the scenes to offer some glimpses of what goes into producing a major exhibition.

Podcast: Ray Jayawardhana: Strange New Worlds

In the past 16 years, astronomers have discovered more than 700 exoplanets, or planets that orbit other stars. If scientists find signs of life on these planets, it will profoundly impact everything from religion and philosophy to art and biology. In this podcast from the fall, astronomer Ray Jayawardhana shares some of the ideas from his book, Strange New Worlds, about life beyond our solar system.
Dr. Jayawardhana's talk was recorded at the Hayden Planetarium on October 3, 2011.
