REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/18/13 -- Rocket Fuel, the leading provider of artificial intelligence advertising solutions for digital marketers, announced today it achieved record revenue of $107 million and more than doubled its staff in 2012. The company's annual revenue increased by 138%, and Rocket Fuel had its strongest year of client additions and employee headcount since inception.
Programmatic buying -- the ability to bid on an advertising inventory source, in real time, for the opportunity to show one specific ad to one consumer in one specific context, continues to gain momentum. Research firm IDC has projected that programmatic buying will grow at 53% per year between 2011 and 2016, and will account for 58% of indirect display ad sales and 20% of all display advertising. Furthermore, IDC cites programmatic buying as the fastest growing sector in digital advertising, eclipsing mobile, video, and social advertising spending. eMarketer, Parks Associates, and Forrester have all published independent analysis that confirms the growth and impact of programmatic buying across the digital advertising ecosystem.
2012 Rocket Fuel Highlights:
- Revenue: Revenue grew from $45M to $107M with growth from new customers in new markets as well as repeat customers shifting more budget to Rocket Fuel.
- Advertisers: The number of new advertisers with Rocket Fuel increased 93% in 2012 over 2011, significantly improving the company's market share.
- Technology: Achievements in its programmatic buying solution:
- The artificial intelligence technology platform now simultaneously addresses 26.237 billion daily real-time-biddable (RTB) impressions across display, video, mobile, and Facebook advertising inventory
- Full RTB integration with Facebook's Advertising Exchange (FBX)
- 8,424 CPU cores across five worldwide datacenters
- People Growth: Total staff increased 126% from 128 employees at year-end in 2011, to 289 employees at year-end in 2012; leadership was further strengthened with the addition of six new executives: Eric Porres as CMO; Scott Spaulding as Vice President of East Coast Sales; Oliver Hülse as General Manager of Germany; Aaron Kaliner as Vice President of Enterprise Sales; JoAnn Covington as General Counsel; and Derek Sidebottom as Vice President of People. Ron Codd, PeopleSoft's former CFO, joined Rocket Fuel's board of directors.
- Worldwide Growth: Rocket Fuel opened six additional offices, further solidifying its global presence with new offices in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Hamburg, Raleigh-Durham, Toronto, Washington DC. It now has offices in 15 cities worldwide. Rocket Fuel also entered the emerging Japanese programmatic-buying market, aligning with Japan's largest digital marketing company, cyber communications inc. (cci), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dentsu. Under the terms of the strategic alliance, cci runs its digital ad-management service, "PerformanceX Management," on top of Rocket Fuel's platform, offering full-service brand and direct response campaigns to clients.
- Funding: A $50 million Series C-1 investment, led by Northgate Capital, with additional investment from Cross Creek Capital, Mohr Davidow Ventures, Nokia Growth Capital, Summit Partners, and Comerica. Karey Barker from Cross Creek Capital and Greg S. Goldfarb from Summit Partners joined as board observers.
- Recognition: The company received 11 different industry awards, including Forbes' Most Promising Companies in America (ranked #22), the AlwaysOn Global 250 (2 consecutive years) and OnMedia 100 (3 consecutive years), JMP Securities' Hot 100 Software Companies, and was named one of Bay Area's Top Workplaces in 2012 according to Workplace Dynamics.
"When we started Rocket Fuel in 2008, we believed that marketers and agency media teams would want smart robots buying and optimizing online ad space for them. It has been a true privilege to work with our investors and our employees to make this vision a reality," said George John, CEO of Rocket Fuel. "Since founding the company, all trends have gone in our favor:
- marketers became more serious about delivering quantifiable results through digital advertising,
- the supply of digital ad space has become increasingly abundant, liquid, and purchasable programmatically,
- consumers have accelerated their ecommerce activity and time spent with digital media, across social sites, video, and through mobile devices,
- computational power has become increasingly inexpensive while software for managing big data has become increasingly robust.
Broadly, the prospects for artificial intelligence and robotics have become more evident over time -- such as Watson winning Jeopardy®, the Curiosity rover landing itself on Mars, and self-driving cars becoming abundant. It's an incredibly exciting time to be part of the advertising economy, with a $500Bn global advertising market that has made itself increasingly available to Rocket Fuel's programmatic buying platform, such as Facebook's creation of its exchange."

There will be 20 billion IoT devices connected to the Internet soon. What if we could control these devices with our voice, mind, or gestures?

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Problems
Some models have tandem hydraulic pumps—one section for power steering and the other for suspension adjustment. These pumps are prone to leakage from either section.
As brake fluid becomes dirty over time, it can cause a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years to help prevent this issue.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.

Equivalent ionospheric current patterns are derived from ground-based geomagnetic observations for events on 11-12 November 1979 (Bz≫0), 24 November 1981 (Bz≪0), 10-11 January 1980 (By ≫0) and 25-26 November 1979 (By ≪0), when the corresponding IMF (interplanetary magnetic field) conditions remained stable. The `radar scanning' technique was used to scan the southern polar cap with a chain of unmanned magnetometer stations placed from the cap border to the corrected geomagnetic pole approximately along geomagnetic meridian 110°. During a stable southward IMF a result was obtained, a reversal of antisunward convection flow is identified, and an NBZ-like FAC (field-aligned current) system is restored in the central part of the southern polar cap. It is concluded that there may be an additional NBZ-like system poleward of -85°, which is independent of the IMF and is generated by the quasiviscous interaction between solar-wind plasma and high-latitude lobes of the magnetospheric tail

Three Days Grace! It's the Uproar Festival in Biloxi! Wait! Wait! Wait! SEVENDUST IS PLAYING TOO! I've already booked rooms! YOU HAVE TO COME"! I'm sure some Incoherent mumbling followed.

Preseason Primers: Mavericks
It wouldn't be time for another NBA season without the Mavericks feeling like championship contenders. But this time, the feeling is different. This time, there's a palpable belief that the Mavs had better get it done this year or their window will be closed -- for a long time, if not for good.
That's a little drastic. They're still not better than the Lakers, and still might not be able to get past the Spurs in a best-of-7 playoff series. But the Mavs enter training camp as a much better team than the one that lost to San Antonio in the first round a few months ago. With no cap space -- cap space can't score or defend, after all -- Mark Cuban struck out on the major free-agent targets. But the addition of Tyson Chandler certainly will help. Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki know the window is closing, but maybe this is a good spot for them to be in. With all eyes on the Lakers, Celtics, Heat and Magic, maybe the Mavs can quietly be in the mix. If it's possible for Cuban's team to do anything quietly.
Training camp site: Southern Methodist University
Training camp starts: Sept. 28
Key additions: Tyson Chandler (trade), Alexis Ajinca (trade), Ian Mahinmi (free agent), Dominique Jones (draft).
Key subtractions: Erick Dampier (trade), Eduardo Najera (trade), Matt Carroll (trade).
Likely starting lineup: Jason Kidd, PG; Caron Butler, SG; Shawn Marion, SF; Dirk Nowitzki, PF; Tyson Chandler, C
Player to watch: Butler. When he's good, he's very, very good. And when he's bad, he's divisive.
Chemistry quiz: There shouldn't be any chemistry issues on a team with so many veterans getting their last realistic shot at a championship. There shouldn't be. But there could be, especially given that not everyone (Mark Cuban included) was on board with the rotations and substitution patterns Carlisle utilized during another underwhelming (and brief) playoff run. Teams like these, with established players vying for their spot in the pecking order, can come unglued if things don't go well. (Did we mention Cuban's recent comments that the Mavs have enough size and depth to beat the Lakers?)
Injury check: Speedster Rodrigue Beaubois is likely out until November following surgery on his broken left foot.
Camp battles: Ultimately, Carlisle faces only two starting lineup decisions. But they're important ones: Whether to start Chandler or Brendan Haywood at center, and whether Butler starts at shooting guard with Marion at the three, or Butler at the three with Beaubois (once he's healthy) starting in the backcourt with Kidd. Neither one of those decisions will be made in October. But all eyes will be on first-round pick (acquired from Memphis) Dominique Jones, a slasher who has a chance to crack Carlisle's rotation and give the Mavs the dribble-penetration element they sorely lacked last season.
Biggest strength: Size and depth. If 6-11 Frenchman Ian Mahinmi stands on a croissant, the Mavs have five legitimate 7-footers: Mahinmi, Nowitzki, Chandler, Haywood and Alexis Ajinca. It can be argued – as Cuban did recently – that Dallas is the team best equipped to combat the Lakers' twin towers of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. First, the Mavs should worry about getting past the Spurs.
Glaring weakness: Age and miles. The window is closing fast on Kidd, Dirk and Marion, and Jason Terry, all of a sudden, is 33.

Huddle crashers
I'm a little late to the party on this one. And being that I'm heading to Dallas a week from Thursday for All-Star weekend, I need to step up my game -- because folks in Dallas evidently like to show up at the party early and drink often.
You probably have heard by now about the two women who somehow gained access to the Trail Blazers' huddle in Dallas Saturday, and how one of them gained, um, access to Rudy Fernandez. One of the women -- whom Jerryd Bayless described to the Oregonian as "drunk" -- grabbed Fernandez during the incident and gave him a hug. The ladies were allowed to return to their seats. The NBA has said it's investigating the incident.
I don't attend many games in Dallas, but I sit courtside at my fair share in Madison Square Garden. And I assure you, if such an incident had occurred at MSG, those women would've been led out of the building in handcuffs. If they were lucky. At two separate games this season, I witnessed a particularly beefy MSG security guard charged with protecting the visiting team's bench virtually challenge an unruly fan to a fight. One of the fans, who was accosting members of the Toronto Raptors' bench, clearly had his beer muscles in full effect and decided to go nose-to-nose with the aforementioned beefy security guard. Bad idea. The bouncer -- for lack of a better term -- walked Joe Six Pack all the way up the aisle, down a flight of stairs, and into a hallway. Lord only only knows what happened next.
The Garden security staff is notoriously aggressive, which I suppose in a case like this would've been a good thing. Mavs owner Mark Cuban was right; this sort of thing happens all the time in NBA arenas. A couple of years ago, a fan made his way onto the court and tried to high-five LeBron James during a timeout. I don't remember what happened to that fan. I'm sure the fan doesn't, either.

How about Nellie vs. Cuban on pay-per-view?
As juicy as the court records of the dispute between Mark Cuban and Don Nelson are, there's got to be a better way to settle this. I propose something that would make millions for Cuban, which he could then agree to split with his former coach.
How about a Nellie vs. Cuban cage match on Cuban's HDNet?
The contest wouldn't last long, unless it was a drinking contest. One time when I spoke with Cuban about how he, then-Knicks president Isiah Thomas, and myself all had attended Indiana University, Cuban remarked that he was simply a "freshman alcoholic" when Isiah was in Bloomington. (Cuban later realized he had his dates wrong; he was a senior, I believe, when Isiah was a freshman.) Anyway, I confided that I'd had my fair share of fun at IU, but sadly had matriculated to a much less lucrative career than both he and Isiah.
I bet Cuban can still knock a few back, and we all know that Nellie only recently -- and begrudgingly -- gave up his customary beer during postgame media briefings. So I think this idea has some potential. The potential to be entertaining and also to save both sides any more legal costs.
The most interesting part of the transcripts recently made public in the dispute over $7 million in back pay Nelson claims Cuban owes him is a passage in which Nelson claims Cuban cut him out of personnel decisions. Cuban allegedly did this in retaliation for Nellie's decision not to play an injured Dirk Nowitzki in Game 6 of the 2003 Western Conference finals. I'm not taking sides because A) I have no idea who's right, and B) I hope Cuban and Nellie continue to give people like me material to write about for as long as possible. But freezing someone out of front-office decisions? That sounds eerily like what happened to Chris Mullin in Golden State. Karma travels on a boomerang in the NBA.
To wit: If Cuban and Nellie settle out of court and take their dispute to the pay-per-view airwaves, this blog post will be cited as evidence that I deserve a cut of the proceeds. Unfortunately, those transcripts will be a lot less interesting.

Dear Mark: Stop acting like an idiot
After witnessing the deplorable, embarrassing scene in his arena Monday night -- in which some Mavs fans did their best Mark Cuban impersonation -- Cuban had no choice. He had to issue an apology to Kenyon Martin for pointing and shouting at K-Mart's mother as he left the court after the controversial ending in Game 3.
Cuban's version -- and no one else has offered a credible one -- is that someone shouted that the Nuggets were "thugs" after Carmelo Anthony evaded a foul attempt by Antoine Wright and hit the deciding 3-pointer on Saturday. As Cuban stormed into the tunnel, he admits that he pointed to Martin's mother and said, "That includes your son."
Martin, of course, was furious, saying before Game 4 Monday night that he planned to meet "face-to-face" with Cuban.
"It's a little personal, and I'm going to take care of it," Martin said. "I'm not going to do the whole media thing, back and forth. That's his thing. I'm more of a face-to-face type of dude."
After some of Martin's family members were harassed at the game -- won in dramatic fashion by the Mavs -- Cuban decided to issue an apology to Martin in his blog. That's great. It was the right thing to do. Cuban also invited Martin's family to watch Game 6 -- if the series returns to Dallas -- in his suite with his family. If that wasn't acceptable, Cuban offered to give them their own suite.
A noble gesture. Just wondering, though. If Mavs fans hadn't acted like such jackasses Monday night, would Cuban still have felt compelled to apologize? Was he sincerely apologizing for his actions, or did he feel as though he had no choice but to apologize for the boneheaded fans who decided to act like him?
"When tempers and such start impacting the fan experience both in Dallas and Denver, and it requires special security, that's not what I want for Mavs or Nuggets fans," Cuban wrote. "No one takes more abuse and gets more threats on the road than I do. So I know exactly how it feels. I've also had my family and friends spit on at games in this series. So I know how unpleasant that is as well. It's a dirty secret that all arenas need to do a better job of protection for visiting team fans, particularly during the playoffs. So at this point I would like to apologize to you and your mom, KMart, for my comment. I should have not said anything and I was wrong. Hopefully you will accept the apology and we can move on."
Cuban added, "We tried to have enough additional security for them tonight as well, but I know your family and friends didn't feel as comfortable as they should. I apologize for that as well. This arena is my responsibility, we could and should do a better job."
That's all well and good. I just find it interesting that, while everyone -- including Cuban, apparently -- remains so quick to apply the "thug" label to NBA players, sometimes the real thugs and jackasses are the people sitting in the stands.
Cuban was right about one thing. As these playoff games get more and more heated and emotional, the NBA needs to make sure that its teams do whatever it takes to keep the responsible spectators safe from the knuckleheads. They need to make sure the players and their families, who sit in such proximity to the garden variety idiots, are not in harm's way. To this point, the most embarrassing and disgraceful moment in NBA history came when Ron Artest charged into the stands to retaliate against a fan who'd thrown a beer at him. If more attention isn't devoted to the issue of arena safety -- especially at a time when revenues and non-player payrolls are shrinking -- the next black mark on the NBA is going to be a player or his family being harmed in a visiting arena.
So I'm glad Cuban apologized and it's good that he put the spotlight on the issue of arena safety. Now if he wouldn't mind setting a better example for how fans are supposed to act, that would be even better. We expect boorish behavior from Joe Sixpack with a 12-pack in his belly. From a college-educated billionaire who has done a lot of good things for society, I don't think it's asking too much to expect a little more.

Denver should thank the Mavs, but ...
The dismantling of the Mavs is delayed another two days. The feud between Mark Cuban and Kenyon Martin's family lives to see another day. All that commotion behind the Nuggets' bench during Game 4 Monday night? Evidently, that was K-Mart's family being harassed by classy Mavs fans.
K-Mart exited the court after Dallas' series-extending victory shouting what most certainly were not pleasantries. I can only guess they were directed at Cuban.
But all that stuff is a sideshow. Two things jump out at me as this series moves to Denver for Game 5 Wednesday night.
One, Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke should thank the Mavs for extending the series another game. Another home playoff date equals another sellout crowd, lots of hot dogs, sodas, and beers sold at the concessions, and a free night of much-needed revenue.
Two, the Nuggets had better figure out how to close this series out Wednesday night without losing their cool. As I told Jason Horowitz earlier Monday, a Lakers-Nuggets conference finals is no sure thing for Kobe & Co. The Nugs are supremely talented, play underrated defense, have the kind of toughness under the basket that the Lakers lack as long as Andew Bynum remains invisible, and have Carmelo Anthony showing signs that he might be just as dangerous on the playoff stage as Kobe.
But the last thing Denver needs in a closeout game at home is to lose its composure. All it'll take is one flagrant foul -- and we all know how blurred that line as become -- to get somebody suspended for Game 1 of the conference finals.
So K-Mart & Co. need to leave their grudges with Cuban in Dallas. Forget about it. It's over. Focus on the game and what needs to be done to finish the series and keep it from going back to Dallas. And don't get anybody suspended for Game 1 against the Lakers.
There's a saying in sports journalism: When in doubt, be Dave Anderson, the venerable Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times. The Nuggets need to adopt a different form of that approach. When in doubt, be Chauncey Billups. This is why the Nuggets traded for Billups, because he knows how to close out teams and he knows how to win playoff series. Most importantly, he knows how to keep his composure in what has become a chippy, emotional, vindictive series.
Get it over with and keep your cool. Let the security guards keep your family safe, let the NBA deal with Cuban, and play your game.
Oh, and let your owner count all the free dollars that will flow into the bank by virtue of having to close this out at home. See, I'm an optimist at heart.

Cuban offers Twitter taunt to critics
The Tweet came across a couple of hours after the Mavericks had eliminated the Spurs, who will not be venturing past the first round for the first time since 2000. How many starting point guards in the west under the age of 30 will be playing after saturday? #fb
Take a bow, Cubes. Just don't strain your back.
The taunt obviously was in response to a world of critics -- myself included -- of Cuban's decision to trade Devin Harris to the Nets at last season's trade deadline. Now that the Mavs have slain the Spurs' dynasty, Cuban is well within his rights to gloat.
At the advanced age of 36, Kidd had an excellent series against San Antonio, shooting 40 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. Rick Carlisle did a nice coaching job with Kidd, playing him with J.J. Barea and protecting the slowing, aging Kidd from his defensive liabilities. Cuban is right in that by the end of the weekend, the two younger point guards in the West most capable of exposing Kidd on the defensive end -- Tony Parker and Chris Paul -- will be at home and not on the court. The other is Houston's Aaron Brooks, but the Mavs wouldn't see him until the conference finals -- and only if they can beat Denver and the Rockets can knock off the Lakers (assuming they finish off Portland at home Thursday night).
Chauncey Billups is tough to defend, but doesn't have the burst that Parker and Paul possess. With a combination of Kidd's savvy, Barea's peskiness, and Antoine Wright's length, Carlisle should be able to figure out a way to keep Kidd from getting sliced and diced too badly in the second round, too.
The bottom line is this: Yes, Harris is a better player with bigger upside than Kidd at this stage of their careers. But this is an example of a progressive owner taking a calculated risk and watching it pay off. It is hard to argue with the results. Harris and the Nets won 34 games this season and are saddled with Kidd's former running mate, Vince Carter, and his $34 million over the next two seasons. The Mavs are done with Kidd after the playoffs are over. And for them, the playoffs are far from over.
Given the Hornets' 58-point loss to the Nuggets in Game 4, it isn't too early to look ahead to Mavs-Nuggets in the conference semifinals. Denver will have home court by virtue of its 54 wins compared to 50 for the Mavs. The Nuggets swept the regular season series 4-0. although three of those losses were by three points or less. But once you're this deep into the playoffs, regular season matchups don't mean as much. It's about how you're playing now, and the Mavs have their superstar, Dirk Nowitzki, playing at a high level. They also have an effective bench led by sixth man of the year Jason Terry, a certain geriatric point guard who's still hanging on, and a trigger-happy, tweeting owner who isn't afraid to point out when he's right.

Buzzer Beaters
Here I am at LaGuardia's Marine Air Terminal, killing a few minutes before heading up to Boston for a very critical Game 2 for the defending champion Celtics. If you were following me on Twitter, you'd already know that. If, on the other hand, you have a life ...
Anyway, a canceled flight has given me a chance to bring you a bonus, pre-game version of Buzzer Beaters. Buzzer Beaters 2.0 will arrive after Monday night's games.
What do the Celtics need to do Monday night to keep their slim repeat hopes alive? Much more than slow down Derrick Rose. Obviously, they're going to need more than 1-for-12 shooting from Ray Allen, and they're going to need more than 8-for-21 shooting from Paul Pierce. More important than all of that is the rebounding factor. KG or no KG, the Celtics cannot get outrebounded like this (53-45 in Game 1) on a consistent basis and expect to win this series. Rose hurt them the most with his timely baskets and fearless penetration. But you can argue that after Rose, Joakim Noah's 17 rebounds were the biggest factor that doomed the Celtics.
Ball movement -- or lack of it -- is the other one. Sixteen assists on 39 field goals? That's not going to cut it, whether the Celtics are playing Rose's Bulls or Jordan's Bulls. (Monday night, by the way, is the 23rd anniversary of MJ's 63-point playoff performance against the Celtics.)
The other game Monday night is every bit as intriguing and just as important for the home team. The Spurs' reconfigured bench kept them afloat for much of this season when Manu Ginobili has been out. It needs to deliver in Game 2 and not get run off the court by J.J. Barea, Brandon Bass, and Jason Terry. All these Game 1 road upsets have illustrated to all of us how little we know. That educuation would be furthered if the proud, veteran, playoff-tested Spurs and Celtics take another one on the chin. The numbers would suggest that the Spurs are in more trouble than the Celtics. Boston can write off Game 1 to simply being unable to win when your two top scorers shoot 9-for-33. But the Spurs got outstanding games from Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, made 11 of 14 3-pointers, and got Michael Finley's highest scoring game in more than five weeks (19 points). Yeesh. Mark Cuban will be Tweeting his brains out if the Mavs win this one.

Rockets interested in Baron? (UPDATE)
UPDATE: After hearing and reading media reports that Tracy McGrady will have season-ending microfracture surgery on his ailing left knee, the Houston Rockets aren't ready to pack it in. They might be looking to do something big.
The Rockets have been mentioned in plenty of trade scenarios in the past 48 hours, but none more intriguing than the one with the Clippers about Baron Davis. Those talks, however, have broken down.
"Not happening," a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com early Thursday.
The Rockets and Clippers discussed a trade that would've freed Davis from a disastrous return to his hometown and allowed the Rockets to remain in contention without McGrady. One possibility, first reported by SportingNews.com, had the Clippers willing to take back McGrady even though he won't play the rest of the season and faces a long recovery from the microfracture procedure.
That should tell you everything you need to know about how desperately Clippers owner Donald Sterling wants to retreat from the rare spending spree that resulted in Davis going to Clipperland in the first place. There figure to be other suitors for Davis, who has four years and $54 million left on his contract. Thus, possible landing spots would have to be limited to financially sound teams willing to take risks. (Mark Cuban, are you out there?)
The Sporting News' initial report on the Baron-to-Houston scenario quoted a person close to Davis saying, "It would be best for everyone if Baron moved on." That smells like an inside job, with Davis and his operatives trying to drum up an exit strategy to a solid playoff team. (Hey, it would beat the heck out of finishing the season with the 13-41 Clippers.) One team executive expressed serious doubts early Thursday that the Clippers would be successful in their Dump Baron campaign.
As for the Rockets, another source said they're telling teams they're working on "smaller deals." So while they're not taking McGrady's season-ending injury passively, they're not alarmed enough to make a $54 million bet.

"I came to this retreat to learn how to adjust back"
Coming home from an off-campus study program or doing research in another country often means struggling to get back into the swing of things. Adjustments to lifestyle, return to academic rigor and change in many can be challenging. The Return from Abroad Retreat was established to help WU students through transitions like this - making meaning of their experiences, helping them place their abroad experiences in the context of their lives back home, and helping them learn what they have to teach each student about him/herself.
The goal of this retreat is engaging together with good food, good company, and a relaxing time away from the busy pace of WU life. Willamette students returning from off-campus study/research programs will help each other process and reflect on their abroad experience and what it means for each of them. (The off-campus study/research program does not have to be one sponsored by WU.)
For more information about this free retreat, please contact Career Services on the third floor of the University Center or email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you email, please be sure to put "Returner Retreat" in the subject heading.
Sponsored by the Career Center, funded by the Lilly Project.
"I came to this retreat to learn how not to trivialize my experience so that it would only become a distant memory"

Three charged with possession of meth
Published: Friday, June 15, 2012 at 5:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 15, 2012 at 5:08 p.m.
A traffic stop on County Road 326 resulted in the arrests Thursday of three people for trafficking and possession of methamphetamine.
Deputy Roy Johnson saw a vehicle fail to make a complete stop at Northeast 63rd Street and West Anthony Road. He stopped the vehicle in the 400 block of Northwest CR 326.
After noticing that Carl Robert Collins, 32; Frederick William Fountain III, 40; and Billie Jo McMullen, 35; appeared nervous, Johnson called for backup.
Deputy Colton Sullivan and Ocala Police K-9 Officer David Rodriguez arrived on scene. K-9 Dozer alerted to both sides of the vehicle and the trunk, which was searched by Johnson and Sullivan. The deputies found a white plastic bottle in the trunk that contained 210.08 grams of meth.
Collins said he was giving Fountain a ride and that he put the stuff in the car.
Fountain and McMullen denied any knowledge of the bottle.
All three were arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail. At the facility, a corrections officer recovered two syringes from McMullen's body.
Collins and Fountain were charged with trafficking and possession of meth.
McMullen was charged with trafficking and possession of meth, introduction of contraband and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Republicans said Sunday that President Obama ignored the tide of illegal immigrant children pouring across the border for years and may have even invited it with his policy of deferring deportations, making him responsible for the current crisis of exploitation and violence.
Two months after officials acknowledged a "crisis," the Obama administration continued to struggle with mixed messages, vowing to be tough on future border crossers while tacitly acknowledging that many of those will probably never be deported.
"We have to do right by the children," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told NBC's "Meet the Press," though he still vowed to "stem the tide" of future waves.
Republicans said it will be impossible to stem that tide — and indeed the surge will only increase — unless Mr. Obama and Mr. Johnson do an about-face and step up enforcement of immigration laws.
"The thing this administration needs to do is immediately deport these families, these children," Republican Rep. Raul R. Labrador of Idaho said, replying to Mr. Johnson on NBC. "I know it sounds harsh. I know it sounds difficult. But they're creating a crisis at this time that is actually going to harm these children."
Mr. Obama is also under increasing pressure to visit the border and get a firsthand look at the situation but so far has rejected those suggestions — though he will be in Texas raising money for political campaigns this week.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has been among the leaders calling for Mr. Obama to visit, said he warned the White House years ago about the rising number of young illegal immigrants sneaking into the country.
Mr. Perry said he asked for the National Guard to be deployed in 2010 and fired off a letter in 2012 begging for additional resources to deal with the influx of children, only to be rebuffed and left with a crisis.
"Messages have been sent now for multiple years," he told ABC's "This Week" program.
The crisis has resulted in a scramble to bus, lodge and process the unaccompanied children as protesters, fed up with the situation, turn away busloads of illegal immigrants from centers in their towns.
"People were concerned about the people, the immigrants coming here — would they have proper facilities, who's going to take care of them, how long is this going to be for — and those were questions that we just didn't get any answers to," Murrieta Mayor Alan Long told CNN's "State of the Union" after his town became the latest flashpoint for standoffs over the transport of illegal immigrants.
"I can't speak for the rest of the world that showed up at our doorsteps," he added. "This is a huge national problem and drew a lot of emotions on both sides of the protest line."
More than 10,000 illegal immigrant children traveling without parents are expected to be caught at the border this month, and nearly as many members of families traveling together — usually young mothers with their children — will also be caught.
It marks a major turnaround from just a few years ago, when apprehensions of illegal immigrants were falling and the border seemed more secure.
But the children have been so overwhelming, and their cases require so much extra processing and care, that Border Patrol agents have been pulled from other patrol duties. The agents say that means more drugs are getting through and other illegal activities are likely increasing elsewhere on the border.

The whole home made food stuff "rules" is silly. I have issues with food allergies and don't even trust my own mother not to try and poison me so guess what... I just don't buy the homemade food regardless of what label they might put with it. Do I think that they should stop homemade foods being sold at events?! Good lord no!
Regarding your plant sales when is it being hosted? Are you allowed to get the children to make crafts? I.e. plant labels, little signposts telling slugs to go away, decorated pots...
Good luck!
Morning all. Another full weekend working and with parties in both days its guaranteed to be busy! I'm going to be calling the dog rescue place tonight to see if we've any more information: they've told us we've been approved but its gone quiet when it actually comes to getting information on certain doggies! (We picked four we especially liked- two went to new homes yesterday).
Wont be doing the garden birdwatch this year which means my garden will be FULL of the wee things! Every year I have gone it the garden goes scarily quiet like they know something is happening
Stacey advised me last year to sow in mid February so I'm twiddling my thumbs til then!
Could be Bekkie! If you want interior design talk to my brother but new injectors and a full service I'm your lass!
Thanks! It gives me a much more realistic time frame to completely redevelop the education centre and boy am I aiming big! £50k sees the education centre fully funded and free to all schools and youth groups, £25k gets us a much needed lift, £3k sees the educational riot van fully repaired and able to visit schools across the UK... last year our income was around £4k. It's achievable right?
Right I really must get my socks pulled up and go and sit in traffic. Sitting in the kitchen trying to answer emails wont help rush hour!
Keep safe everyone!
Ah not good. I broke my sacro iliac and it's in the most inconvenient place when it comes to shifting around! Would she manage with a series of smaller steps or a paving slab type ramp inside? An alternative is to sink the base so you only have a step up / down rather than over so the greenhouse itself is flush to the outside but only you and Mrs F would know if this would suit your situation.
It might be the greenhouse becomes your private retreat!
No problem Dove; send it over I've some fantastic potato stamps and various coloured paints I'll soon have that paperwork dealt with!
Get on down Panda there's even free squash involved. Do I spoil my guests or what?! (No biscuits though - wasn't ready to run the allergy gauntlet!) It's the first time we've done anything like this to try and get not just people through the doors but get the museum more welcoming and assessable to younger families.
I got my contract extended for 12 months this week which means I really need to crack on with my almighty to do list - anyone want to fund the education centre?! It's worth a shot! I don't think I'll be seeing much of the garden this spring. I might need to find a suitable potted plant to bring into the classroom with me!
Fishy - being a taller lady with a giant of an other half when we move our greenhouses we will be building a brick / breeze block wall to raise the greenhouse up. Disadvantage is that you then have a step to get in and out but does mean there are no height issues. It makes a huge difference and is a much cheaper option!
Morning all! Today is a day sitting in my nice warm classroom hosting messy play for under 5s. Unfortunately the museum haven't advertised it at all so I might be catching up on my paper work somewhat!
