Dealerships: Think Pentastar!
What does one do when dodging raindrops at a car show? Look for old dealer tags – what else? Though great weather generally dominated this years All-Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle back in July, those who attended were hit with showers and a passing storm late in the afternoon on Saturday. With time to kill, it occurred to me that now (or, at that moment) would be a good time to jump on the dealer tag bandwagon.
On the back of this 1956 De Soto was a tag from V. Montone. Listed in the De Soto dealer list as being owned by Vincent Montone, the dealership was located at the corner of West 28th and North Church Street in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Bing Maps has a bird's eye view.
This Sanford tag was on the back of a 1967 Plymouth Fury III from New Jersey. Taking a stab at the dealership originating from that state, a quick Web search revealed that it still exists on State Highway 37 in Toms River.

Linking Inerrrancy and the Resurrection
- If the gospels are reliable in their central claim, Jesus was raised from the dead.
- If Jesus was raised from the dead, he was vindicated (marked as a perfect sacrifice and endorsed) by God.
- If Jesus was vindicated by God, everything he said and was true.
- If everything Jesus said was true, the Old and New Testament are true (Jesus indicated that the Old Testament was true and the New Testament would be true).
- If the Old and New Testaments are true, they are not in error about matter of fact (be the facts historical, spiritual, etc.) in other words, inerrant.
There is the question of should a Christian think that the argument is sound? Given Christianity, is there good reason to believe each of the premises is true? Another way to frame the question is how likely is Christianity to be true if any of the premises are false. I think rejecting any of the premises is very damaging to Christianity.
I don't know of anyone who disputes the first premise. The same goes for the second premise. If a resurrection doesn't indicate God's approval, it is hard to imagine what Christians would regard as approval by God. In support of this, see Acts 17:31. The fifth premise seems to be obvious as well.
The third premise is a little more controversial, but not much more so. A resurrection could only be brought about by God. It seems exceedingly unlikely that God would intervene and bring back to life someone who taught things God didn't endorse. God vindication of someone who taught errors would imply that God endorses at least some falsehood. If God endorses falsehood, we shouldn't necessarily belief what God proclaims. That idea seems incompatible with Christianity. Another way to look at this is if Jesus made error regarding things that can be checked, why should we believe him with regard to things that can't be checked like the requirements for salvation.
The fourth premise is perhaps the most controversial. Some of it is based upon one of the perceived purposes of the incarnation. If God were to be incarnated, it would be expected that he would indicate the path to salvation. If there were literature that was inspired by God that would guide us in the correct path, He would be expected to indicate it.
Greg Koukl also supported the idea that Jesus indicated that the Bible is inerrant here:
More than that, we also see in the person of Jesus, His stamp of approval on virtually the entire Old Testament. He quotes from every section of the Hebrew Bible: the Pentateuch, the Wisdom Literature, the Poetry, the Prophets (both major and minor), the Historical material. He quotes them as if they were authoritative, from God Himself.In addition, the following passages lend support to the idea that Jesus indicated the Old and New Testaments are true.
In fact, sometimes Jesus refers to the text itself as "God said." Sometimes He says "Scripture says…" sometimes He says "Moses says…" or whatever writer. But clearly, when you examine the words, in His mind those terms are interchangeable.
Matthew 5:18
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
John 17:17
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
II Peter 1:20-22
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
John 14:26
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
I have heard some Christians say that Jesus did endorse parts of the Bible as God's word, but they didn't think that his endorsement applied to the entire Bible (particularly the parts with demonstrable errors). However, if Jesus should have indicated what God's word was, why wouldn't he have indicated the parts that are not? An omission of this type would indicate that Jesus would have been tolerant of error. His tolerance of error would undermine any salvation message contained in the writings he endorsed.
Another objection is that perhaps Jesus didn't say the things that would indicate he endorsed the Old Testament. Of course if that is the case, the Gospels we have are unreliable, and that undermines the plausibility of anything they claim, like that Jesus was resurrected.
The issue of inerrancy was probably the biggest factor in my realization that Christianity was probably false. When I closely examined several difficult passages, I had no choice but to conclude that they were in error. When I tried to make enough qualifications to the doctrine of inerrancy to sustain it, that made it seem like I was making allowances for my beliefs that I wouldn't allow Mormons or others to make. In the end I couldn't maintain my belief in Christianity.
I know that liberal Christians disagree with the argument that I have put together here. In addition, I know some skeptics who don't think that inerrancy has a significant tie to the resurrection. If you don't think that belief in inerrancy follows from the resurrection, which premise could a Christian plausibly deny? I ended up agreeing with fundamentalists that one should not simultaneously belief the resurrection happened and the Bible contains errors.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. The widow of an Ogdensburg doctor was shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide Monday.
Lakshmi Bhat, 62, was killed by her son-in-law, Anand Venkata, 36, during a dispute Monday in Venkatas apartment at the Skyline Towers highrise, according to information from the Fairfax County Police Department. Venkata shot himself after killing Mrs. Bhat, police said.
Police said Mrs. Bhat had been living in North Carolina. Police characterized the incident as a domestic situation, but the exact circumstances that led up to the shootings were not clear.
She is the widow of Dr. Nellikunje Gopalakrishna (Gopal) Bhat, an orthopedic surgeon who practiced in Ogdensburg until his death in 2004. The couple has three daughters, Geeta, Anita and Tara.

From high-waisted flare jeans to slinky, slit-to-the-thigh cocktail dresses, disco-ready dangly earrings to big-brimmed hats, '70s-inspired fashion is everywhere this season. And while so many of the runways showcased a certain sort of decadence that's associated with the end of that era (think: Studio 54-influenced opulence and Saturday Night Fever swagger), some of spring's best looks remind us of the decade's early days. Heavily influenced by the bohemian movement--psychedelic colors and prints, chunky wood shoes, and flamboyant accessories (feathers much?)--the early '70s managed to be dramatic, earthy, and just a little androgynous all at once. As we considered these elements and the thrilling theatrics we saw at the S/S 11 shows, suddenly it hit us: this look is completely channeling the Rolling Stones circa the Exile on Main Street years!
But it wasn't just the boys in the band with noteworthy style. While we are, of course, obsessed with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, we're also just as enamored with their lady loves at that time, Anita Pallenberg and Bianca Jagger. From Pallenberg's vividly colored, rock'n'roll getups to Mrs. Jagger's mind-blowingly chic white wedding suit, the women on the scene in the south of France (where the Stones recorded said album) were truly forces to be reckoned with. Now, 40 years later, their sartorial influence can still be seen on the runways. For example, at Jason Wu, we swooned over the designer's white tux jacket paired with shorts--specifically, the Gabardine Tuxedo Blazer ($1450), Gabardine Tuxedo Shorts ($695), and Tulle Bow-Tie Tee ($895)--as it's a perfectly modern interpretation of Jagger's seminal wedding ensemble. Meanwhile, at Emilio Pucci, designer Peter Dundas designed haute-louche ensembles with a gypset air, like the Chiffon Tie-Dye Blouse ($1650), Lace-Up Stretch Cotton Pants ($760), and Cropped Cotton and Linen-Blend Canvas Jacket ($1700), which we think Pallenberg would adore. Bearing all of this in mind, we were inspired to create today's Currently Channeling: Exile on Main Street as our ode to the early '70s signature style. Read on for a few of our favorite pieces and why they're perfect for this incredible look!
ASOS Oversized '70s Floppy Straw Hat ($36) in Tobacco
As we discussed earlier this year in an Accessory Report, one essential '70s staple is the big-brimmed hat. It adds a certain visual drama to any outfit, which is why we adore this floppy straw iteration so much. The wide-brimmed chapeau is perfect for summer, as it will shade your face, keep your head cool, and give you a certain rock star insouciance--all for a very reasonable price!
Aspinal of London USA Passport Cover ($35) in Purple Croc
While no one expects you to hold dual citizenship a la Bianca Jagger, we do think you should travel in style. As such, we highly recommend picking up a jet-set essential accessory: the passport holder. This croc-embossed leather cover is the perfect pick and will surely add a little luxury to your next overseas jaunt, even if you're traveling in steerage.
Gucci Large Round Frame Sunglasses ($245) in Tortoise
Thanks to their ability to change the overall vibe of a look in the blink of an eye, it's safe to say that sunglasses are a key part of any outfit. Accordingly, to achieve the louche look of the '70s, you need a really glamorous pair of sunnies, like this oversized tortoise pair from Gucci. Though generously proportioned, the frames are relatively slim, which gives the sunglasses a modern look. If you love these shades but don't want to invest, don't miss Topshop's Knot Detail Large Sunglasses ($32) or Le Specs' Joplin Tortoiseshell Frame Sunglasses ($63), which are darling, affordable alternatives.
Theodora & Callum Batik Leaf Scarf ($135) in Blue Multi
When assembling a Bianca Jagger or Anita Pallenberg-inspired outfit, it's always a good idea to consider a scarf. But not just any scarf--oh no--you need something that says, "I'm a gyspet wanderer who cannot be tamed." While conveying that exact message might sound difficult, it's actually a snap with this gauzy, blue and white batik leaf-print scarf from Theodora & Callum. Wind it around your neck or fold it into a long band and tie it around your head--either way, it's a winner.
Ben-Amun Silver & Gold Plated Nugget Necklace ($380)
As you've surely noticed by now, this look is not really about restraint, per se. No, even the simplest looks call for at least one dramatic piece, ideally with an earthy touch, which is why we simply had to include this chunky necklace. Though certainly sizeable, it's a really versatile piece that would look equally fashionable with an understated sheath or styled with a slew of other baubles. (Pallenberg wore a similar necklace with an arm full of bangles, oversized hoop earrings, rings, and a wide-brimmed hat, just as you'd expect from bohemian royalty.) If you're looking for other tiered styles, don't miss Gay Boyer's Vintage Bead Necklace ($150) and Tuleste Market's Layered Ball & Chain Necklace ($150); both are excellent options too!
Gap Suede Wide Strap Wedge Sandals ($89.50) in Saddle
Wondering what to wear with your wide-leg, high-rise jeans, ultra-bright skirts, and other Exile on Main Street-inspired ensembles? To ground these pieces, you need something sturdy and unfussy--hence our selection of Gap's Suede Wide Strap Wedge Sandals! The wooden platform and wedge heel are the ideal partner for your ultra-long bell bottoms and the saddle brown suede is flattering on most skin tones and will help elongate your legs. We also approve of the clog-like studding at the base of the straps; it's a nice touch and adds interest to the shoe without making it look too retro!
Jenni Kayne Short Sleeve Crew Neck Sweater ($375) and Side Button Skirt ($295)
One of the things we adore most about both the Exile on Main Street era and rock stars (and their girlfriends) is their unabashed love of color. Though you can't see it in the image of Anita Pallenberg, above, she's actually wearing a fuchsia lace blouse paired with an orchid skirt, while Keith Richards is wearing a similarly purple t-shirt. As an ode to their vibrant wardrobe, we decided to include two equally colorful pieces from Jenni Kayne's perfectly executed S/S 11 collection. We love this simple skirt's patch-pocket design, especially when paired with a slim, short-sleeved sweater. If you'd like additional options for this look, we suggest checking out American Apparel's Unisex Baby Rib Fitted Short Sleeve T-Shirt ($16) in Raspberry paired with Zara's Mini Skirt With Pockets ($50) in Pink. Alternatively, if you like blue, try Gap's Cuffed Crewneck Sweater ($29.50) in Pangea Blue worn with Forever 21's Pleated Knit Skirt ($12) in Royal.
Guerlain Terracotta Skin Healthy Glow Foundation ($49)
Though everyone seems to have an on-again-off-again relationship with the sun, one thing's for certain: to truly channel glamorous girls like Bianca Jagger, you need a tan. Obviously we advise you to go for a faux glow--ideally a natural, non-orange color--which is why you need to check out this new pseudo-foundation from the bronzing geniuses at Guerlain. The product is kind of a cool hybrid between a bronzing powder and a tinted moisturizer, and it looks ridiculously gorgeous on most skin types. Available in two shades (Blondes and Brunettes), it's the perfect beauty product for the Exile on Main Street look.
Zara Double-Breasted Blazer ($129, 323.935.5041) in White
Some of the most well-known and adored images from the Exile on Main Street era were taken on a single day: May 12, 1971. So why is this moment so memorable? It's the day Mick married Bianca in St. Tropez. The bride wore a white suit by Savile Row's Tommy Nutters--sans shirt, very daring!--and an oversized chapeau, resulting in a stunningly chic look. Taking a page from Bianca's playbook, we decided to include a white double-breasted blazer and bell-bottom trousers from Zara. Instead of skipping the shirt, we suggest pairing the snowy suit with a silky button-up blouse and a black string bow tie for a truly sophisticated look.
Club Monaco Kathy Shirt ($98, 310.657.1818) in Vanilla
If you're looking for a short sleeve, silky, button-up blouse, your search ends here. The Kathy Shirt from Club Monaco is a wonderful lightweight option for spring and perhaps the perfect feminine shell for all of your suits or workwear. We love it styled with string bow tie--make your own by picking up a length of black satin ribbon ($3, 323.653.6453)--but it looks equally lovely on its own.
Zara Bell-Bottomed Trousers ($79.90, 323.935.5041) in White
White pants may not be the most practical choice, but they can certainly look stunning and they're definitely enjoying a comeback right now (especially in a flared silhouette). Pick up a pair and wear them with a coordinating blazer for a true Bianca Jaggeresque look or style them with a brightly colored blouse; however you wear them, you'll have created a knockout ensemble!

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
After any harrowing struggle, it is nice to consider checking into a hotel for a rest. In fact, this might be just the break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire could use after their wearying deep-sea adventure.
A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many floors, such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests, spending time in the safety of the right hotel can be the perfect learning environment for children of any age. A keen researcher like Klaus, an adept inventor like Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary master like Sunny are all sure to find engaging diversions during their stay.
Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three siblings will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds — and write them down — just in case this episode turns out to be the darkest yet in a series of unfortunate events.
Lemony Snicket returns with the last book before the last book of his New York Times bestselling Series of Unfortunate Events.

About the Author
Lemony Snicket has been chronicling the lives of the Baudelaire children with only occasional breaks for food, rest, and court-appointed swordfights. His hobbies include nervous apprehension, increasing dread, and wondering if his enemies were right after all.
Brett Helquist was born in Ganado, Arizona, grew up in Orem, Utah, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. He earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University and has been illustrating ever since. Sometimes he finds his work depicting the upsetting lives of the Baudelaire orphans so distressing that he sends himself flowers, but it never helps.

New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils
7:00 pm, The Rock
Rangers Record: 29-28-9
Devils Record: 38 - 23 - 3
One of the New York Rangers fondest rivalries is renewed tonight in New Jersey as they take on the Devils in Newark.
Coming off a disappointing OT loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the Rangers continue to be in the thick of the battle for the bottom Eastern Conference playoff seeds.
The Devils are trying to avoid their third straight loss as they return from a late season west coast swing. New Jersey defeated San Jose 4 - 3 early last week before losing 5 - 3 to Calgary and being shutout 2 - 0 in Edmonton.
Despite their major acquisition of sniper Ilya Kovalchuk, the Devils have cooled off, with a record of 3 - 6 - 1 in their last 10 games.
Kovalchuk is averaging nearly a point-per-game in his nine games with the club, with three goals and five assists, but hasn't established the chemistry that Devils GM Lou Lamoriello had hoped.
Another notable force has been tamed for perhaps the first time since his rookie season. Goaltender Martin Brodeur struggled in the Olympics, eventually giving way to the Canucks' Roberto Luongo.
Brodeur has looked noticeably tired and that was only further evident during the Olympics. The usual workhorse has not had the same sharp motions and confidence that has made him one of the greatest goaltenders of all time.
He has currently played in 61 games and it appears that the Devils are prepared to ride him all the way to the playoffs.
Brodeur has skated in all three contests since the Olympics, allowing 10 goals.
In the last match-up, the Rangers defeated the Devils 3 - 1 and clearly got to Kovalchuk and Brodeur.
For the Rangers to have similar success tonight, they will continue to rely on the added minutes of Americans Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan. Both have seen considerably upgrades in ice time since the Olympics.
Success will also rest on the shoulders of winger Marian Gaborik and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. Both have not been up to snuff since the Olympics, with Gaborik still ailing from a groin injury and Lundqvist also feeling some fatigue.
Stay tuned tonight on Twitter for in-game updates and analysi

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
While Price city's net worth decreased between 2010 and 2011, an audit report released last Wednesday and presented to the city council showed that things for the most part are in good shape and that financial transactions are being done in accordance with the law.
Greg Marsing presented the report from the firm Smuin, Rich and Marsing and spent about 40 minutes going over its details.
"We have a high opinion of the city's financial operations," said Marsing. "There is good internal controls and compliance with the law. There were only a few minor items that we found that need to be corrected."
The report showed that the city's net worth decreased $207,739 over that time. The report also showed that the city's business-type revenues were $9.97 million, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the year before. The expenditures for that same period was $8.4 million, an 8.4 percent increase from 2009-2010.
The accounting firm stated in their summary that there was nothing that needed to be reported in connection with Government Auditing Standards.
The only area in which the auditors felt a change should be made was within the area of some budget overspending. Small variances had occurred and the firm recommended that city personnel review the expenditures made and compare them against the adopted budget to find areas where deficiencies are occurring. Then some adjustments can be made within with budgets that have excess money. Both problems were explained by the city. In one case there was a loan written off but not recorded until the year end budget revision was complete. In the other instance less was transferred to the capital projects fund because of a transfer snafu that occurred at year,s end.

An approximate 38-megawatt increase in output at an Exelon Nuclear plant last week launched a series of planned power uprates across the company's nuclear fleet that will generate between 1,300 and 1,500 megawatts of additional generation capacity within
Chicago, IL (June 12, 2009) – An approximate 38-megawatt increase in output at an Exelon Nuclear plant last week launched a series of planned power uprates across the company's nuclear fleet that will generate between 1,300 and 1,500 megawatts of additional generation capacity within eight years without turning a spade of earth, Exelon Nuclear President and Chief Nuclear Officer Charles (Chip) Pardee said today.
The first of the new, carbon-free nuclear megawatts was officially confirmed last week following equipment upgrades at Exelon's Quad Cities nuclear plant near Cordova, Ill. Other uprate projects are underway and Exelon plans to have the full measure of new megawatts on the grid by 2017.
"With these uprates, we will be able to produce the equivalent output of a new advanced nuclear reactor, and we'll bring it to market in a timeframe commensurate with the fastest new construction," Pardee said. "These uprates are a critical component of Exelon 2020, the company's plan to eliminate the equivalent of its 2001 carbon footprint by 2020."
Uprate projects improve the efficiency and increase electricity output of a nuclear generating unit through upgrades to plant equipment. The projects take advantage of new production and measurement technologies, new materials and learning from a half-century of nuclear power operations.
"We have a proven record of achieving additional output at our plants through equipment upgrades and efficiency improvements," Pardee said. "Nuclear uprates are safe, economical and add to the long-term safety and improved efficiency of a nuclear plant."
Exelon's uprate projects use proven technologies and are overseen by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They fall into four general categories:
In addition to producing more megawatts, these component upgrades improve the reliability of the units and support operating license extensions, which require extensive review of plant equipment condition.
Uprate projects are underway at Exelon's Limerick and Peach Bottom nuclear stations in Pennsylvania and the Dresden, LaSalle and Quad-Cities plants in Illinois. Those are expected to produce nearly a quarter of the new megawatts.
The remainder of uprate megawatts will come from additional projects at nine Exelon plants beginning in 2010 and ending in 2017.
At 1,500 nuclear-generated megawatts, the uprates would displace 8 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually that would otherwise come from burning fossil fuels.
Exelon operates the largest fleet of commercial nuclear reactors in the United States and the third largest in the world. A series of plant upgrades and uprates over the past 10 years have already added approximately 1,100 new megawatts to Exelon Nuclear's generation.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

The First Scouts of Spring
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 03/20/08, 03:00am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
If nothing else, Clips fans will have a chance to do some thorough scouting over the next few weeks as the Tourney headlines the basketball world. Assuming that Elton Brand declines his opt-out -- not a certainty but, given the injury, seems likely – the Clips will be in the market for a backcourt scorer and, preferably, a prospect who can play the point.
So whom should you be watching?
- Jerryd Bayless: No secret here. Bayless personifies everything the Clippers desperately need in their backcourt – an athletic ballhandler who can create off the dribble and shoot the rock from beyond. And look at those FTA numbers: Double-digit attempts in five of his last 10 games. Bayless' attributes aren't limited to the offensive end. Arizona interim head coach Kevin O'Neill demands that his squad play a straight-up man defense, and Bayless has been up to the challenge. O'Neill has routinely assigned Bayless the opponent's best scorer and Bayless' quick lateral movement has served him well. Bayless isn't flawless. He had a horrendous night against USC's triangle-and-two a couple weeks back, wilting under the constant ball pressure, racking up six turnovers in the process. But all and all, Bayless has shown an uncanny breadth of skills that you want from your PG – penetration, range, ballhandling, the ability to guard opposing points, and good instincts in the halfcourt game.

- Derrick Rose: The consensus is that the Clips would have to break the Top 3 to have a real shot at Rose. The Memphis guard is more of a pure point than is Bayless, but don't take that as any suggestion that he can't create. Rose can take anyone off the dribble and is a born slasher who seemingly never loses the handle or full vision of the court on a drive. Memphis' success in transition can largely be attributed to Rose's running the show. On the other end, you've probably seen the pressure D that Memphis employs, and Rose is one of its lynchpins. Rose isn't a great shooter from long-range yet, but his stroke looks fundamentally sound and that's often an indication of a guy who will grow into his shot.

- Eric Gordon: A collegiate combo guard who probably has limited point potential in the pro game. Few players have helped themselves over the course of this season than Gordon. Clipperblog hasn't seen much of Gordon because it has found Big 10 Basketball very difficult to watch this season. That said, you don't have to watch much of Gordon to recognize his preternatural ability to shoot the basketball. Gordon has a fluid, quick release whether he's catching-and-shooting or pulling up. And he's another slasher who knows how to work his way to the line. Clipperblog can't comment firsthand on Gordon's defense, but scouting reports tell of a quick defender who uses his athleticism to stay in front of opposing guards and his strength to fight through screens. The Clippers haven't shown much of a willingness to field a combo guard at the point, but they'd be lucky to have Gordon on any account – though, according to projections, he seems unlikely to drop to 6th.

- OJ Mayo: Chances are you've watched him at least a dozen times on television, so you tell me? Personally, I've been impressed with his off-the-ball play – and credit Tim Floyd for setting up [insisting on] more than just isolation sets for Mayo, even though there are some nights when there isn't another soul on the floor who can make shots for USC. Mayo has slashed his turnover rate over the past month, and has moderated his shot selection. I loved his defense on Bayless in their matchup in Tucson. Maybe he was just amped up, but he demonstrated a willingness to -- and, better yet, instinct for – denying shots and anticipating first steps. I know he shoots too much and has an unsettling habit of checking out defensively at times, but I can't see a scenario in which this 6' 5" freak doesn't become a dangerous NBA wing player in some capacity. In other words...I'll buy the hype.

- Russell Westbrook: Honestly -- I didn't see it at first. 15 months ago, Westbrook didn't seem like a guy who could work himself a shot in the halfcourt. He was tentative as a ballhandler and didn't appear to be the kind of pure shooter you'd want in an NBA guard. His shot still needs some refining, but I can't recall a raw player who has developed instincts at the PG quicker than Westbrook has over the past season. He's still not a gifted ballhandler, but you don't run an offense as deliberate as UCLA's unless you display a heady combination of patience and court sense – and Westbrook has demonstrated that. His athleticism is unquestionable. And then there's his defense. I don't know that there's a better cover man in the PAC-10 than Westbrook. You simply can't get a decent look against the guy. In some sense, Westbrook is a very Dunleavy-ish player and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Clips plucked him at #6.
