Lakers 97, Clippers 88
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 12/03/06, 12:52am:
The question is no longer, "what are the Clippers doing on offense?" I gave up trying to answer that one a couple of weeks ago. The more salient question is, "what are they trying to do on offense?" Does Mike Dunleavy really have an offensive philosophy for this squad? Anyone have any ideas what that might be? By last spring, the Clippers had an offensive playbook that was composed pretty much of side screen rolls for Cassell/Brand, with either a second down screen to free up Kaman or a kick-out to a perimeter player whose guy left to help on the primary option. If the matchup was favorable, the Clips also liked to post their guards against smaller defenders -- let them drive and then step off the block and shoot.
Ladies and germs, your 2005-2006 Los Angeles Clippers.
This season, do you have any idea what you're watching? During the first two weeks of November, we excused the rust as a combination of weariness and opponents' getting wise to Brand's m.o. Teams began to double Brand off the ball or, at the very least, beating him to his spot off the left block. We assumed that Dunleavy would make the according adjustments, then the parts would start to move again. So after a stretch of games in which the Clippers couldn't execute a simple offensive set, they began to see some good looks in Sacramento – though they couldn't hit – and managed a fluid effort against a Memphis team right now that, outside of Dahntay Jones, can't be bothered to defend opposing basketball players.
Tonight, we saw a system with -- outside of Kobe and Lamar -- absolutely no talent or depth. On the other side, the Clippers are nothing but talent and depth, but without any coherent system whatsoever.
First sign of trouble [5:52, 1st] Cassell-Mobley-Livingston-Brand-Kaman:
Lakers up 11-8. Shaun brings the ball up, then drops it to Mobley up top. Mobley gets a high screen from Elton and dribbles right. But here's the thing: Kobe fights through the screen and catches up to Mobley; yet Kwame Brown – asshat that he is – actually leaves EB to trap Mobley. Elton is wide open. And I mean wiiiiiiiide the fuck open. Instead, the rock goes into Kaman in the post. Chris spins, turns and floats a gentle hook over Odom for two. Okay, I know the Clips got the hoop. But if your basketball team can't take full advantage of an unqualified mark like Kwame Brown, then it has problems.
Let's go to the final five minutes of the first half, during which the Clips hit exactly one field goal, and that was an EB tip-in following two missed layups. I'll focus on the Clippers' offensive possessions. For the most part, I thought the Clips played some solid defense tonight. I know the box score says that the Lakers hit 50% of their shots. But the Clippers' defensive sets – some obvious exceptions aside – were well-organized and responsive. Anyway, with 5:00 left in the half, the Lakers are up one, 36-35:
- [4:48] General insanity from Kobe Bryant which, if you were watching from home, you couldn't see because the KTLA producer is a spaceshot and, quite possible, a functional retard. Fortunately, I was at the ball game, so I witnessed aforementioned extraterrestrial activity. Lakers by 3.
- Livingston brings the ball up. He gets a lousy screen from Brand, turns the corner and heaves up a runner. Not close and, on the rebound, Shaun picks up a frustration foul.
- The good news? Livingston blocks Kobe's shot on the other end.[1] Sam brings the ball up in a very controlled transition. Here's my interpretation, though it's complete conjecture: Sam is still pissy over the officiating and feels that he's owed a makeup call. So what does he do? Tries to take Smush off the dribble and drive into the teeth of the Lakers' interior defense – Odom, Kwame, Luke, et all. Sam misses, tumbles to the floor and bitches some more.
- Cassell makes the post entry pass into Kaman on the right block. Kaman has Odom and, feeling confident, spins lane and drives to the basket with authority. Great move, but the basket didn't fall. Chris makes both. Lakers by 1. There were other nice features on this play. Livingston darted past a nice Brand screen on Kobe and got himself free on the weak side block.[2]
- Though functional retard on KTLA's production team didn't show it to the home audience, Sam politely shoves Smush Parker with the weight of his upper body during the inbound off the Odom bucket. Ball back to the Lakers, up by 3.
Smush is a flopper. Throw him in with the rest of 'em.
Walton loses the ball and, though he initiated the contact and tripped over EB, Elton is whistled for the foul.
Readers can attest that Clipperblog will go weeks without so much as alluding to the officiating, but this is some dogshit refereeing here -- just really awful stuff that a dull child could get right.
- Sam brings it up, gets it to Brand at the left elbow. Kaman has moved down to the low right post, but is doubled there by both Lamar and Turiaf – Ross' guy, because Q has set up so far out on the wing that Turiaf is free to roam. Kaman is a lousy option, as is Q way over on the weak side. Corey is up top with Walton in close proximity. Elton faces up and dribbles, but decides against either shooting [probably smart] and working it in the open court [probably not a bad idea] At :10, he returns it to Sam out on the wing now with Smush all up in his shit. Sam is still pissy and decides to spin left and drive baseline. He'll show him! Sam misses the layup.
- On the other end, another dogshit call on a clean EB block of a little Smush putback. In a divine instance of the basketball fan's proverbial "justice," Smush misses both free throws. A better question is why Smush was free for the putback in the first place.
Bad shit happens when worse shit allows it to happen.
Cassell to Brand at the left elbow, but not until :11 after a roundtrip game of catch up top with Q. Brand spins and drives left, but decides there isn't enough daylight there with Brown between him and the basket. EB sends it back out to Cassell and reposts. Sam swings it over to Q who, with only :04 left on the shot clock, misses the floating 8-footer. Brown tips the rebound out of bounds. The Clippers reset.
Maggette inbounds it to Brand on the left block. EB drives with resolve to the basket in traffic. He misses; gets the board; misses again; then tips it in. [Lakers by 1]
- Just a classic display of Elton's tentativeness. After Lamar weaves his way through the Clips defense for a beaut of a layup [Lakers by 3], the Clippers bring it down, leaving it with Kaman up top as they set. Cassell sets a tough screen for Brand in which he gets pancaked by Kwame Brown. This enables Brand to get loose and collect the pass from Kaman at his favorite spot. It's a wide open shot. Smush Parker is three steps off him and Kwame is wearing Cassell on his windshield. It's a Wide. Open. Shot.
Instead, Brand hesitates twice, then kicks it back out to Cassell with :07 left. Brand reposts, then gets it back from Cassell. This time, the shot isn't nearly so open, so Brand kicks it out to Maggette, who heaves up the 3 with the shot clock expiring. No good. Kaman grabs the offensive board, but decides to dribble it back out just an instant, then dribble, spin and shoot over Odom. No good.
- After Luke Walton hits a 3 [Corey fast asleep], Lakers lead by 6. Cassell slings it to Kaman up top as the offense sets. He can (1) go to Corey, who is trying to get position against Walton (2) hit Q at the elbow, who then can drive to the hole since Luke is all tangled up with Corey. Kaman chooses (2); Kaman hits Ross with the pass. Q drives to the lane but Kobe deflects the ball before Q can go up with it. It's worth mentioning that, down six, neither Brand nor Cassell are reasonable options in the set. Just sayin' is all.
:11 left on the shot clock at inbounds. Cassell runs around a Kaman screen and gets the ball in the corner. For all of Sam's crappy shot selections, he passes up a perfectly good look to become Mr. Pass-First, and tries to hit Kaman as Chris frees up. This takes Chris by complete surprise and the ball rolls off his hands.
- After a drive and hoop by Bryant, the Lakers are up 8. With :33 left in the half, Sam brings it up. He gets a high, high, high screen from Elton, takes the pick, and pulls up for a 20-footer. The long miss bounces around and Sam finally grabs it.
Final shot. Sam gets another screen from Elton – this one not as strong. When Sam runs off the screen, he collides with Kwame. No call. The leather on Sam's head is curling. The half effectively ends.
Other than that, there's plenty to be pleased with.
[1] Shaun blocked two of Kobe's shots, the other a monster stuff at the close of the first quarter with Kobe in the open court. Kobe launched himself from the key, about ten feet from the basket, and Shaun stayed with him every moment from halfcourt to the release.
[2] Over the past week, Shaun has been doing a nice job of finding ways to get himself open off the ball, even if it isn't part of the set. It's one thing to attack when you have the ball; it's another to attack the defense when you don't. Really good ballplayers do both, especially when the set has been blown to hell. Readers of Clipperblog are well-aware with my odd fascination with Rip Hamilton. This is why. It goes without saying that nobody is better at spontaneously creating space for himself than Bryant.

The Panthers took the first game of the doubleheader 12-3 before falling in a wild, up and down battle that finally ended with Wendover winning 20-15 on Friday afternoon.
PCA head coach Jason Jaramillo said the team came out strong in the first game despite the long bus ride, scoring five runs in the first inning to take an early 5-0 lead.
The Panthers never trailed as they rode a strong pitching performance from Yoni Mediano and balanced hitting throughout the lineup en route to the 12-3 victory.
In the second game, Jaramillo said the pitching staff allowed too many walks and the defense committed too many errors. Despite being down by as many as eight runs, Jaramillo said catcher Chris Smith hit a 3-run home run that gave the Panthers a 16-15 lead. But Wendover took the lead back and held off the Panthers sending them to a 20-15 defeat.
The Panthers (5-3) will prepare to play at Tabiona (10-2 overall, 5-0 Region 18) on Friday with the doubleheader scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
Jaramillo said the team is playing well as of late and will be looking to carry some momentum into the games with Region 18 leader Tabiona.

Total War Battles isn't an attempt by CA to bring the Total War experience to a tablet. It's instead an attempt by the team to create something new, a blend of puzzle game and RTS that makes the most of the platform while still keeping things quick and simple enough to be able to play in short bursts.
It doesn't work entirely - it feels a little too much like a puzzle game at times - but for the most part this is a fun and unique take on strategy for the iPad. It also looks great. As a bonus, it shares Total War: Shogun 2's amazing soundtrack.

PARISHVILLE Grinning from ear to ear as her Final Jeopardy! response was read aloud by the iconic Alex Trebek, Parishville resident Cori Wilhelm realized what she had just accomplished.
Viewers of Fridays edition of the classic game show saw the 2000 Parishville-Hopkinton Central School graduate enter Final Jeopardy! leading the way with $10,200, but with her two fellow contestants following by dangerously close margins of only $1,200 and $1,300.
One category, one clue and one historic moment later, and Ms. Wilhelm won a total of $18,001 along with the impressive title of Jeopardy! champion.
She will compete again on Mondays program, which will air locally at 7 p.m. on WWNY-TV, Channel 7, and WPTZ-TV, Channel 5.
Ms. Wilhelm, who holds an undergraduate degree from St. Lawrence University, Canton, a masters degree from SUNY Potsdam and an additional degree from the University of Buffalo, works as a librarian at SUNY Canton. The daughter of Parishville residents Llona I. and Fred Wilhelm, she had her competition during the summer, but her first episode did not air until Friday. Both parents were in attendance in Los Angeles for her daughters first big day of taping.
Cori Wilhelm, college librarian from Parishville, New York, whose mom is a big Jeopardy! fan. How big a fan? Mr. Trebek asked during the contestant introduction segment Friday. She is a fanatic, you might say, Cori said in her TV debut. She used to call us on her way home if she was going to miss any of Jeopardy! and wed have to get a VHS tape and get the right tape in at the right time to hit record. Now of course we have DVR. Her cellphone also, every time it rings its the Jeopardy! music.
Mrs. Wilhelm even received a personal shout-out during the episode from Mr. Trebek.
Shes in the audience tonight? Hey, Mom. Thank you so much. Youve kept us on the air for 30 years, Mr. Trebek said.
With responses including Who is Justin Bieber? and What is a souffle? Cori was consistent and aggressive through the first two rounds of play as she took on two-day champion Damian, from Ohio, and fellow challenger A.C., from Iowa.
During round 1, she answered a $1,000 question correctly, but also missed a $1,000 question among other mostly correct responses.
At the conclusion of first round play, Cori was in second place with $2,600. A.C. stormed out ahead with $7,800 and Damian had $1,200 at the first intermission.
She answered nine questions correct during round 2, despite having no daily double chances. The nine correct responses included a $2,000 and two $1,200 questions.
Entering Final Jeopardy and with Cori holding a very slim lead, the contestants faced the category Countries of the World. A commercial break followed and the trio deliberated what their final wagers would be.
By population, its the largest country in the world without nuclear weapons was the clue. After 30 seconds of intense thinking Mr. Trebek spoke to the contestants.
Damian, youre looking very happy with yourself. Lets see why. You wrote down What is Indonesia? You picked the correct country and your wager? A modest $6,500, taking you up to $15,400 and into the lead as we go to A.C., Mr. Trebek said.
After Mr. Trebek revealed A.C.s incorrect response of China, Cori knew her fate.
So its up to Cori Wilhelm now. Look at the smile. Did she get Indonesia? Yes, he said. Did she risk enough? She has! $7,801 and she is the Jeopardy champion today.

I would like to say how fantastic the sculpture displayed at 100 West and Main Street in Price is. Mr. Prazen has been one of our hidden treasures for too long. What a wonderful way to exploit his artistic merit.
We have so many excellent and talented artists in our area. It would be wonderful if we could spotlight their pieces all over our community. It is refreshing to see such beautiful artwork as we drive and not be restricted to viewing only at indoor galleries.

Sexually active adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 are at extremely high risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including HIV, and teen pregnancy.The overall goal of this research program is to develop, implement and evaluate integrated multi-level interventions to prevent STD, including HIV, and pregnancy among adolescents. The study includes 12 high schools and 19 of their feeder middle schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District and the surrounding communities. Interventions will be implemented among parents, health care providers, and in schools in an integrated fashion with the goal of improving social context factors related to health outcomes among adolescents. The evaluation phase will include in-school surveys with adolescents at all middle schools

In the current study we plan to implement interventions at four social context levels, that is, with parents, providers or in other medical institutions, schools and community venues, to improve communication between adolescents and adults, facilitate increased access and utilization of health care services, and appropriate supervision of adolescents outside of school hours. As such the goals of the specific level interventions are as follows.
Among parents: (1) to enhance communication and relationship satisfaction; (2) increase parents participation in the healthcare of their adolescents; and (3) to enhance appropriate monitoring and supervision of adolescents.
Among school-based health care providers: (1) to increase access to and utilization of services by adolescents; and (2) to increase STD screening of adolescents.
In middle schools: (1) to increase access and utilization to supervised after-school activities, either at school or in the community; (2) to address quality and fidelity of health education curriculum provision and teacher training; (3) to increase parental participation in school-related activities.
In high schools: (1) to increase access and utilization to supervised after-school activities, either at school or in the community; (3) to address quality and fidelity of health education curriculum provision and teacher training; (4) to increase parental participation in school-related activities; (5) to increase awareness and utilization of school-based condom availability programs.
In community venues: (1) increase adolescents utilization of community-based clinical services; (2) to increase adolescent utilization of non-clinic-based screening; and (3) to increase utilization of community-based supervised activities for youth.
Activities will address these goals with the ultimate purpose of reducing adolescent risk for STDs, including HIV, and teen pregnancy through (1) increased age at first intercourse, (2) return to abstinence among sexually active adolescents, (3) decreased rates of unprotected sex among adolescents, (4) and increased screening and treatment of STD-infected adolescents.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Any doubt about interest in Nik Wallenda's tight rope crossing of Niagara Falls two weeks from tonight, was erased in less than ten minutes this morning.
That's how long it took for 4,000 free vouchers for prime seating on Terrapin Point to be snapped up, after they were made available on line and over the phone.
Even the State Parks Department, which arranged the distribution of the free vouchers, was astounded at how fast they went.
"It was almost as if Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift were coming to perform together. It was amazing," said State Parks spokesperson Angela Berti.
"Nik called when he heard about it and he was absolutely thrilled," Wallenda's manager Winston Simone told WGRZ-TV.
Not long after the free vouchers were gone, however, opportunities to buy your way in to a prime viewing spot started showing up on Ebay and Craigs List, with folks who acquired the vouchers at no cost willing to part with them...for up to $100 each.
"We would advise caution there," said Berti, who explained that if someone were to buy just a voucher on line, they might have trouble trading it in for the wrist band they'd actually need to gain entrance into Terrapin Point on the day of the event.
"The vouchers will have everybody's names on them, and you'll need a photo I.D. to redeem it for wrist bands. So, the person who got the voucher needs to be there with photo I.D. to get the band," Berti said.
Essentially that would mean that someone wishing to pay for a prime seat would be wise to have the holder of the voucher pick up the wrist band, and then purchase the wrist band from the the seller.
Despite the demonstrable interest, Wallenda's stunt is encountering money woes and Wallenda is looking for extra cash to help fund his Niagara Falls highwire walk.
Wallenda says sponsorships for the stunt are not enough to pay for the more than million dollars it's costing to pull it off.
In fact he's taken to the internet to try and drum up money, offering everything from autographed posters for $10 to personal lessons on how to walk a wire for just $10,000.
Simone said "unforseen costs", including those associated with drilling and rigging Wallenda's high wire, have driven the price of staging the event up higher than forecast.
"It's like building a house...sometimes you make estimates and sometimes your actual costs exceed them," Simone told Two On Your Side.
Wallenda is also paying fees to the New York State and Ontario governments to stage the stunt.
"We will pay all our bills," said Simone, who also said there was "no chance" the walk will be cancelled over financial concerns.
One of the biggest supporters of the effort, New York State Senator George Maziarz (who sponsored the bill to allow Wallenda's walk to occur in the first place) notes that Wallenda has never sought any financial support from the government and says he does not expect him to now.
"Absolutely not, and he's assured me of that," said Maziarz, who when asked if he would support such a request said he would not.

Despite the fact that some national supermarkets chains have been struggling elsewhere, local grocers have been holding steady and even expanding.
In Helper both the Workmen's and the R&A markets are finding that business has been steady despite the national downturn.
"As far as I can tell we're even with last year and maybe even up," said Dean Armstrong, the new owner of R&A.
One surprising thing is that while both markets are in Helper, they tend to see a lot of patronage from Price.
"Fifty percent (of customers) come from Price," said Steven Giacoletto the owner of Workmen's who attributes this fact to a variety of causes. "A lot of people were raised in the canyons (above Helper) and like to come back."
Giacoletto also knows that his big draw is his meat department because stores in Price don't offer the service that a small local store can on something like meat. But he is also thankful that new highway construction going through the town is complete, because it took a toll on his customer base.
Aside from holding steady, the two business' are happy that they can concentrate on the local niche meat markets and while they do get complaints about variety, they say that they offer what they can with the space available.
"I'm just grateful to be in business, there's a lot going on in the area, and I've seen some new faces around Helper," said Giacoletto.
Although Workmen's and R&A are technically in competition, they seem to get along well and in fact at times share goods and services with each other.
On Tuesday Associated Foods announced it will buy out Alberson's stores across Utah, with the esception of St. George. What the name of these stores will be remains to be seen, but Associated operates Dan's food stores along the Wasatch Front and Linn's food stores in other parts of the state. It appears the Price Albertson's is part of the deal, and that presents some conflicts for both R&A as well Workmen's. Presently they are both distributors of Associated Foods brands, including Western Family products.
"I don't like it at all," said Giacoletto, as he wondered why the sale is taking place. "They're not selling those stores because they're gold mines. We're buying ourselves some competition."

New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round

What They're Saying:
THN – "There are scouts who believe that, from a physical
standpoint, Saad is ready to jump to the NHL next season. His game
is raw and could use seasoning, but scouts like what they see. 'He's
a horse,' one said. 'He's man-strong and he's smart.' And
while he put up respectable totals this season, he didn't do as much as some
people would have liked. Expectations ran high for Saad when he
chose the OHL over the college route after coming from
the U.S. national development program. He scored 20 goals in the
first half and just seven the rest of the way. 'I don't think he's
had the type of year that people expected,' another scout said. 'A
lot of people expected him to walk into the OHL and get 50
goals. That's how good he looked the past two years. I
don't know what it was, but he didn't meet expectations.' Scouts do
like how strong he is on the puck and how responsible he is in all zones."
Scouting Report – "Suffice to say, TSR's thoughts on Saad have plummeted as the
2010/2011 season progressed. We had very high expectations for Saad this year;
his first in the OHL, but have never seen the type of game that warrants the
pre-season hype. Saad is a big winger with good speed, a hard shot, and a
fairly good head for the game, but he lacks the drive you need to be a top line
player at the next level. Saad shies away from contact despite being a big
player and never really uses his body to his advantage. He doesn't drive the
front of the net enough and just isn't willing to pay the price. All is not
lost with Saad, as he does have goal scoring talent, but he needs to show a lot
more if he wants to have that opportunity in the NHL."
2011 Draft Watch – "Saad started well, but hit the wall after scoring
20 goals over the first half of the campaign and looking every bit the scoring
winger who could bring offense in bunches with the physical grit and tenacity
every NHL club covets. He finished with 27 markers and 55 points in 59 games
which isn't bad on the surface, but is also woefully short of what people
expected of him. And then there's a concern about his skating. A year ago,
one NHL scout watched him in the U18s and marveled at his mobility and power.
Now, that same scout is decidedly perplexed. 'I don't know how it
happens, but Saad actually looks like he's gotten slower,' the scout told
B2011DW recently. 'He's regressed. I try to give him the benefit of the doubt
and all, but that's what I saw this year and it's definitely not a good
thing.' Red Line scouts shared that NHL evaluator's opinion, putting
Saad in the 'Falling' category: 'Only four goals in his final 22 regular season
games and mediocre in the first playoff round. Oddly, his skating seems to have
regressed.' Regressed. The same word from two different
sources. And in scouting circles, that is what you call a red
flag. We've also heard that he wasn't in a very good situation at
Saginaw, though nobody we spoke to was comfortable enough even going on the
record to talk about the Spirit and what Saad may have been dealing with. If
the rumors/hearsay are true, you can understand the detrimental effect such
distractions may have had on his production and overall play. How much of an
excuse you can allow that to factor in for the down season, however, is up for
debate. This is what leads us to the final point on Saad. There is
no questioning that he's shown some extremely high upside in the past. The team
who thinks he's closer to that player and not the one who appeared to be
sleepwalking through the final quarter of the season and playoffs is the one
that will spend a first-round pick on Saad, likely a top-20. At some point, the
potential reward and value of taking Saad, pretty much seen as a consensus
top-five coming into the season is going to outweigh any of the concerns about
what has gone on for him this season."
Corey Pronman - "Brandon Saad is a very projectable big body winger who made
his mark last year with the USA U-18 team but not as much in the OHL this
season. His most appealing tool is his skating ability, as he can reach
above-average straight-line speeds and when combined with his physical assets
makes it very easy to see him in an NHL uniform. His puck skills are decent,
with his contributions in that area coming from good puck protection along the
sideboards in the cycle game and having moderate passing ability, be it from
pushing the puck up or operating from the perimeter on the power play. He leans
into his shots well and has the ability to score goals from mid-distances
although I'm not sure if I ever see the tool being better than above-average if
that. Saad has a good frame and doesn't shy from going to the physical areas of
the ice and his battle effort is notable. Saad's hockey sense is decent and I'm
not swung either way by it. He can excel defensively due to his natural tools
such as on the penalty kill where his skating, aggressiveness and frame help
him pressure puck-carriers and fill lanes effectively. I'm not sure if he has
the upside to project as anything past a second liner and while he has some
development left it's not that hard to see him in that slot within a handful of
Hockey – "The 6-foot-2 winger is described as a truculent power
forward that plays a responsible two way game and excels with the puck in tight
areas. He is a strong skater with long strides and uses his speed to cut wide
on opposing defenseman and drive hard to the net. He is also very physical and
is known to rough up the opposition in an effort to get the puck to the net.
Scouts are most impressed with his frame and ability to step right into the NHL
next season. He is more physically developed than many of the other forwards in
his draft class, which might prompt a team to take him over another player who
may take several years to develop."
ESPN.com –
"Saad was No. 2 in the OHL preliminary rankings, No. 8 in CSS midterm rankings
of North American skaters and No. 19 on the final list. His struggles and
injury have been discussed in this space previously. He had been mentioned in
the same breath as Gabriel Landeskogat the start of the year. One scout's
take: 'Saginaw was a mess this year. That had to drag him down. But I
think we saw this big, strong, physically mature kid in the Ann Arbor [USA
Hockey program] last season and we thought it was a matter of time before he'd
throw his weight around and just dictate play in the O. It never happened. He
played smaller than he measures. He never seemed to make the transition at all.
Would it have worked out for him someplace else? Maybe. But it was up to him to
make it work out better than it did [in Saginaw].' Stockwatch: Will
still be around at No. 25 overall, maybe drop out of the first round."
Jess Rubenstein – "Saad has good size but his stock is
falling because most think he will be a 3rd liner."

Thoughts: Saad's tumble down draft boards this season is
alarming. He was widely considered one of the best draft prospects
heading into the season, but now scouting reports make frequent mention of lack
of effort and skating issues. He has an NHL-ready body, but there
are causes for concern with the rest of Saad's game. If he figures
it out, he could be the steal of the draft. But Saad seems to have
some pretty big bust potential.
The Rangers last used a first-round pick on an OHL player in
2007 when they took Michael Del Zotto. They spent three choices on
OHL players last year. New York may be looking for more of a sure
thing should the Rangers choose to select a power forward as the Hugh Jessiman
disaster is not yet forgotten.

Everything Is Illuminatedby Jonathan Safran Foer
2002 Guardian First Book Award
A New York Times Notable Book for 2002
Staff Pick
"Foer exquisitely executes the book's best jokes: the way that Jonathan's minor flaws — his vanity, his American cluelessness, his tendency to patronize — filter through Alex's admiring portrait of the young man he calls his 'most premium friend' and 'the hero.' As the novel shades inexorably into the tragic mode, and as Alex comes to be a much better writer than Jonathan, with both a finer sense of truth and a more urgent understanding of the need for happy endings, his stumbling English incandesces into eloquence. And that alone is worth the price of admission." Laura Miller, Salon.com (read the entire Salon review)
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Everything Is Illuminated is Jonathan Safran Foer's remarkable debut novel, the story of a young writer named Jonathan Safran Foer traveling in Eastern Europe to find out more about his family's history and its possible connection to (and escape from) the Holocaust. The stories are told through the intertwining voices of Alex, Foer's Ukrainian translator, driver, and general cultural companion, and Foer's novelization of the story of his grandparents. Although Foer's story is moving and intriguing, blending history and fable, Alex's hilarious voice (both archaically formal and littered with pop culture idioms) steals the show. As the novel progresses, however, Alex's rocky English steadily improves, just as his worldview matures into something more tragic and complex. A sharp, startling new voice from an intelligent and passionate young writer, Everything Is Illuminated prompted Adrienne Miller of Esquire to proclaim "One of the most impressive first novels in a long time....[T]his book is, as its name implies, brilliant." Jill, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Exuberant and wise, hysterically funny and deeply moving, Everything Is Illuminated is an astonishing tour de force. In the summer after his junior year of college, a writer — also named Jonathan Safran Foer — journeys to the farmlands of eastern Europe. Armed with only a yellowing photograph, he sets out to find Augustine, the woman who might or might not be a link to the grandfather he never knew — the woman who, he has been told, saved his grandfather from the Nazis.
Guided by the unforgettable Alex, his young Ukrainian translator, who writes in a sublimely butchered English, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, and an old man haunted by his memories of the war, Jonathan is led on a quixotic search across a devastated landscape and back into an unexpected past. Braided into this story is the novel Jonathan is writing, a magical fable of his grandfather's village in Ukraine, a tapestry of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. In a counterpoint of voices blending high comedy and deep tragedy, the search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, and they meet in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power.
Passionate, wildly inventive, and marked by an indelible humanity, Everything Is Illuminated mines the black holes of history and is ultimately a story about searching: for people and places that no longer exist, for the hidden truths that haunt every family, and for the delicate but necessary tales that link past and future.
"Comedy and pathos are braided together with extraordinary skill in a haunting debut." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[A]n inventive but immature fictional excursion, sometimes pleasant, sometimes just pretentious....Much of the novel's humor derives from Alexander's fractured English and his posturing antics. That humor, though bought rather cheaply, is deft, but the too frequent flights of lyricism stink of affectation....[N]ot surprisingly, [the Holocaust] proves to be too big a subject for [Foer's] undeveloped talent." Brooke Allen, Atlantic Monthly
"One of the most impressive first novels in a long time....[T]his book is, as its name implies, brilliant." Adrienne Miller, Esquire
"It's hard to get through the first chapters of Everything Is Illuminated. The problem is, you keep laughing out loud, losing your place, starting again, then stopping because you're tempted to call your friends and read them long sections of Jonathan Safran Foer's assured, hilarious prose....Everything Is Illuminated is endearing, accomplished and (to quote Alex one last time) definitely premium." Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review
"Generations become united across time in this fanciful tale, as Foer, the author, gives the reader a contemporary version of 19th-century Jewish drama — one that blends laughter and tears." Library Journal
"Foer has written a glittering first novel...with great humor, sympathy, charm and daring. Every page is illuminated." Jeffrey Eugenides, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Middlesex
"Extraordinarily gifted...this young man also happens to possess something approaching wisdom. Don't just check him out. Read him." Russell Banks, author of The Sweet Hereafter
"A zestfully imagined novel of wonders both magical and mundane....He will win your admiration, and he will break your heart." Joyce Carol Oates, author of We Were the Mulvaneys
With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man — also named Jonathan Safran Foer — sets out to find the woman who may or may not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war; an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior; and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The study suggests that lowering the dose of radiation and the number of chemotherapy cycles is safe and will not affect the cure rates in patients with early stage Hodgkin's disease, without risk factors. The strength of the study consists in the large number of patients, with centralized quality control for radiotherapy fields. However, the follow up is short. We will need more than 5 years data to confirm relapse outcome and more than 10 years data to ascertain the late effects. In the data presented, their appears to be a separtion of the curves at 5 years, and there may be more failures in the lower dose radiation arm. This will require further follow up. The results of the study and the consequent implications are applicable for only selected, "favorable prognosis" early stage Hodgkin's disease patients.
Most evidence suggests that lower doses of exposure to radiation produce a lower risk of developing second cancers, but the risk never reaches zero. Factors affecting the development of second cancers, especially breast cancers, are complicated and include age, age at exposure, dose, energy of radiation, duration of exposure, condition being treated, and overall risk of breast cancer in the individual and in the population exposed. Given the facts about the risk of breast cancer and accelerated coronary artery disease after mantle- field radiation therapy, we need to counsel patients and provide heightened surveillance.
At the present time, the radiation and chemotherapy doses should not be reduced until there is further follow up that shows equivalent results in regards to tumor control.

(a) Court of appeals; review by Supreme Court
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this section, in every civil action brought in any district court of the United States under the Act entitled "An Act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies", approved July 2, 1890, or any other Acts having like purpose that have been or hereafter may be enacted, in which the United States is the complainant and equitable relief is sought, any appeal from a final judgement entered in any such action shall be taken to the court of appeals pursuant to sections 1291 and 2107 of title 28.

The Yellow Jersey Talks "Bells"
As the third of my life's three stages (don't want to dwell on this but suffice to say I am no longer a teenager) is approaching at increasingly higher cadence, I often find myself subscribing to the adage that 'the old ones are always the best'. With this in mind I would like to set the tone for the second of my reflections on cycling in the second city with a 'knock knock' joke that I remember from my youth
'Knock knock!' 'Who's there?'
'Isabel who?'
Is a bell necessary on a bike?'
Once you have stopped rolling around the floor with laughter I would like to explore this tricky conundrum in a slightly more serious manner.
Opinion on this accessory is as varied and diverse as that relating to whether Wiggo would be even faster if he lost the sideburns! The level of contentiousness is such that the current law requiring all bikes to be fitted with a bell before they are sold is one of a host of current regulations likely to be scrapped by the Department of Transport in response to a 'Red Tape Challenge' launched last May. As there was never any accompanying rules stipulating that bells need to remain fitted once the bikes were ridden it was about as effective as bar ends with pink pompom streamers would be on Chris Froome's time trial bike. Consequently large numbers are quickly removed on vital aesthetic or weight saving grounds.
During the extensive research phase for this feature it quickly became apparent that this is a very hot topic, featuring regularly on a variety of cycling related web-sites! One of the principle aspects of the debate relates to whether the use of a bell constitutes either:
- a little tinkling noise which is meant to sound like "excuse me, I am sorry to bother you, but you may not be aware of my presence, so if you could just take care for a moment I'll pass quietly by the side of you. Thanks"
- OR actually a "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY YOU OAF, you are slowing me down and I'm more important than you!"
Before I go any further with this debate I had better declare that I subscribe to the 'doesn't make the bike faster so what is the point' argument. Having said that I have recently had the opportunity to loan a bike which did come fitted with the little round annoyance and so feel that I am able to comment on the pro's and con's with some degree of impartiality.
As the loan bike also came fitted with riser bars and luxurious 35 mm tyres (far more comfortable than the 28mm Continentals on my usual machine) I occasionally ventured out of the comfort zone, offered by my usual commute of dual carriageways, on to canal towpath, shared space paths and even subways. During these occasional 'off road' excursions I am surprised to admit that the often maligned bell did have its uses. Flying down the A34 at 20 mph plus in the bus lane is one thing but hammering down a canal towpath with the regular hazard of blind bends is just plain dangerous! I quickly established that a precautionary use of the bell to alert any fellow cyclists, dog walker and the odd cider drinker coming in the opposite direction was a much more expedient option than the possible outcome of having to swerve to avoid oncoming traffic!
A similar argument also applied when negotiating the city centre's subways. The regular requirement to throw yourself in to hairpin bends without knowing what may be just around the corner is also less hair-raising if preceded by an audible alert.
Another excellent use (albeit one that may not prove universally popular) was the perverse pleasure obtained by quietly cycling up behind any ignoramuses walking in a bike path and giving them the shock of their life by ringing the bell as loud as possible.
In conclusion I find that I have slightly begrudgingly worked my way around to the opinion that bike bells do have there uses. When cycling in environments shared with other cyclists and pedestrians, bells if used expediently (so probably a good idea not to use it as a way of initiating mass heart attacks), can be a useful piece of safety equipment.
Having said that, its use is limited when trying to 'communicate' with white van man when, rather than have to slow down, he overtakes you at 40mph, cuts you up, slams his brakes on and turns left 2 yards in front of you!
3 Tips on the best use of Bike Bells
- Ring it until it is apparent that you have been heard. Do not ring it as though you are trying to raise the alarm about a nearby fire!
- Don't expect anyone under the age of 20 (who, with or without portable music devise plugged in, will undoubtedly be oblivious to anything going on around them), or over the age of 70 (unless you can clearly see that they have their hearing aid in) to hear you.
- Immediately discard the bell that came free with your bike and replace it with something very bling!

The Paper Bag Players Workshop
Program Locations:
This eight session workshop, presented by the Obie- award-winning Paper Bag Players, the longest-running theater for children in America, will show each participant the Paper Bag Players' approach to creating and performing theater --- essentially each participant becomes an honorary Paper Bag Players. The workshop will ensure that each child participates in the creation of all aspects of creating and performing a Paper Bag Players show, teaching participants how to make theater out of what is all around them with the help of their own ideas, imagination and a little bit of paper--just like The Paper Bag Players do. No experience required.
Workshop outline:
Each session will deal with the elements that make this company most famous: original and fanciful narrative plays, a dynamic interactive approach to the audience, the use of paper and cardboard to create compelling stage effects and costumes, creating comedy that children respond to, movement as an element of storytelling, and music as the connecting tissue that holds the shows together. Every session will begin with a theater-game warm-up.
Session 1: Getting to know paper and cardboard--This session will focus on The Paper Bag Players use of paper and cardboard. How do you prepare the paper? How can paper and cardboard help you discover emotion, character and story?
Session 2: Storytelling--Working with theater games and improvisation, the participants--using established themes--will discover stories to tell and how to tell them theatrically.
Session 3: Comedy--How to make a story funny by using exaggeration characterization and action.
Session 4: Movement--How you can tell a story without words--just a little music.
Session 5: Creating the environment--Begin to make the world the story unfolds in with paper bags and boxes.
Session 6: Costumes--How costumes can help find characters; transforming ordinary everyday objects into theatrical creations.
Session 7: Putting it together--Combine all the elements into a show.
Session 8: Final preparation and a mini-performance.

CANTON St. Lawrence County will continue to pay for its Long-Term Health Care Agency into part of this year even though the Board of Legislators had hoped to shut it down last year.
Legislators agreed Monday to modify the 2014 budget by $35,000 to continue the agency for up to two months.
What were doing here is being cautious, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
The Long-Term Health Care Agency is part of the countys Certified Home Health Agency, which legislators voted to shut down after a state decision that allowed additional providers, which made the county service less competitive. But the state would not allow the county to end the long-term program until another organization took on the vulnerable patients.
Health Services of Northern New York was approved by the state Department of Health, but there was a delay in the agency receiving a Medicaid number so it could bill.
The county transferred the first of 31 patients to Health Services in November. As of Jan. 1, the county was down to seven patients and hopes to transfer two more within the next few days.
Transferring the patients, who often have complex medical issues, has to be done with care, said Debra L. Bridges, fiscal manager with county Public Health.
They have to ramp up their staffing, and we have to ensure its a safe transition, Mrs. Bridges said.
Legislators also agreed to sign contracts for personal care aides and home health aide services associated with the program and for emergency response services.
Even though the county will have to pay to keep the agency open, most of the money with the exception of some staffing costs will be recouped.
Well be able to charge for whatever services we provide, Mrs. Bridges said.
The remainder of the patients might be transferred within weeks.
Were hoping it wont take very long, she said.
More than 30 positions in Public Health were lost when the county decided to close the CHHA. The agency has five remaining staff members. Once the agency closes, a registered nurse and a licensed practical nurse will be laid off while the other employees take on other duties in Public Health.
Legislators also modified the 2013 budget for $59,000 in additional expenses for the correctional division of the Sheriffs Department.
The money with half to come from a county contingency account and the remainder from other Sheriffs Department accounts will pay for inmates housed at Central New York Psychiatric Center in Marcy.

The trustees' report that details the financial health of Social Security gets published each and every year with much fanfare and analysis. But there's another publication that the Social Security Administration puts out each year that deserves just as much fanfare—a sort of FAQ for Social Security.
There's plenty to glean from this year's version of the report—Fast Facts & Figures about Social Security, 2013. One can learn, for instance, what to do or not do when it comes to one of the most important sources of income in retirement and who Social Security reform might affect. Here's what advisers say you need to know about this year's report.
Social Security is indispensable for the middle class
"I'm always struck by the vital importance of Social Security income for most seniors," said Jonathan Peterson, the author of "Social Security For Dummies."
According to the SSA report, Social Security provided at least half the income for 64% of the aged beneficiaries in 2011. Read Relative Importance of Social Security, 2011.
"To me, this is a reminder that Social Security is incredibly important for the middle class, as well as the less affluent—a basic, simple fact often overlooked in discussions about its role and its future," said Peterson. "In a world where defined-benefit pensions are increasingly scarce, savings rates are low, home values have fallen, stocks are volatile and older workers often struggle in the labor market, Social Security income is indispensable for the middle class."
From the report, Relative Importance of Social Security, 2011: In 2011, 87% of married couples and 85% of nonmarried persons aged 65 or older received Social Security benefits. Social Security was the major source of income (providing at least 50% of total income) for 52% of aged beneficiary couples and 74% of aged nonmarried beneficiaries. It was 90% or more of income for 22% of aged beneficiary couples and 45% of aged nonmarried beneficiaries. Total income excludes withdrawals from savings and nonannuitized IRAs or 401(k) plans; it also excludes in-kind support, such as food stamps and housing and energy assistance.
Social Security reform
According to this chart, a relatively high proportion of certain population groups (35% on average) rely on Social Security for 90% or more of their income. "This is important when considering Social Security reforms that cut benefits," said John Turner, director of the Pension Policy Center.
Others agree, but note the certain demographic segments are more likely to be affected by Social Security reform than others. With 35% of people age 65 and up relying on Social Security for more than 90% of their income, one thing is as clear as ever, said Mike Piper, author for "Social Security Made Simple: Social Security Retirement Benefits and Related Planning Topics Explained in 100 Pages or Less" and author of ObliviousInvestor.com blog.
"The changes—whether increased taxes or decreased benefits—are going to be borne by people who are either higher-income or not yet old enough to receive benefits," said Piper.
Don't underestimate Social Security as source of income
Another nugget in the report, according to Anna Rappaport, the president of Anna Rappaport Consulting, is how important Social Security is as a source of income. The percentage of married couples and nonmarried persons aged 65 or older receiving Social Security has risen 17 percentage points, from 69% in 1962 to 86% in 2011, she noted.
Research, according to Rappaport, has shown that people not yet eligible for retirement often underestimate the importance of Social Security as a source of income. Don't be one of them.
Other experts, meanwhile, stress that you shouldn't overestimate the importance of Social Security either. "For people currently working, even if you do get the benefits promised by the current system, Social Security (with an average monthly retirement benefit of $1,262) is not going to pay for you to have a comfortable retirement all on its own," said Piper.
Piper's advice: "While it's important to educate yourself about your benefits so that you can make the most of them, it's crucial to build a retirement strategy that relies primarily upon savings rather than Social Security unless you're happy with a very modest standard of living."
Read Public Misperceptions About Retirement Security and Public Misperceptions About Retirement Security Closing the Gaps. See also Receipt of Income, 1962 and 2011.
Pensions aren't dead yet
The report also highlights that traditional pensions are still an important source of income, or at least that's the case for current retirees. For instance, the percentage of Americans aged 65 and older receiving private pensions has risen from 9% in 1962 to 27% in 2011 and the percentage receiving government pensions has risen from 9% in 1962 to 15%.
"It's fashionable to say private pensions are a thing of the past, said Andy Landis, a MarketWatch RetireMentor, founder of Thinking Retirement and author of "Social Security, The Inside Story" and "When I Retire."
He also noted, for instance, that private pensions are actually contributing a bigger share of income for older people than they did in 1962—9% vs. 3%. Read Shares of Aggregate Income, 1962 and 2011.
It's also common to hear that Social Security is less important to retirees than it was in the past, as 401(k)s allow a generation of workers to retire with invested assets, Landis said. "But compared with 1962, Social Security now provides a bigger share of income (36% vs. 30%) and assets provide a smaller share (11% vs. 15%)," he said. "Social Security continues to outstrip all other sources of income as the most important."
The importance of the claiming decision
The SSA report also highlights, though not directly, the importance of the Social Security claiming decision to long-term security, said Rappaport. "We know that the largest number of people claim early but that this is not in the interest of people who live long, and particularly not in the interest of many widows," she said. "For people with limited retirement assets, this is a critical part of their retirement planning."
For her part, the fact that Social Security accounts for 90% of income for 35% of all beneficiaries illustrates the need to plan ahead for when and how to take Social Security, said Angela Deppe, co-author "It's Your Money! Simple Strategies to Maximize Your Social Security Income."
Deppe also noted that 5.7 million new beneficiaries received Social Security benefits in 2012. Of that number, 48% were retired workers, 37% were survivors or spouses and children of retired and disabled workers, and 17% were disabled workers. "Given the large percentage of survivors and spouses/children receiving benefits, it emphasizes the importance of making a joint decision when planning to take one's individual Social Security benefit," Deppe said. "The age at which a retiree takes his/her individual benefit can impact the amount received by the survivor and spouse."
What's more, Deppe noted that there are more than 56 million Americans who currently receive Social Security benefits. Some 65% are retired workers, 20% are survivors or spouses and children of retired and disabled workers, and 15% are disabled workers. "Again, these percentages emphasize the importance of planning ahead and making a joint decision of when and how to take Social Security," she said.
To learn about various Social Security claiming strategies read The Social Security Claiming Guide published by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. And read my related column, Social Security claiming tricks to maximize payout.
