Launch of the lingerie campaign in Saudi
Women in the kingdom are boycotting lingerie stores to push for the implementation of a law that allows female staff to work in shops selling women's undergarments.
March 26, 2009 4:47 by Aarti Nagraj
Women in Saudi Arabia are boycotting lingerie stores that do not employ women, reports The Associated Press (AP). The kingdom passed a law in 2006 decreeing that only women should be employed in shops that sell women's items; however, it has not been implemented so far, and most lingerie shops in Saudi are staffed by men.
"The way that underwear is being sold in Saudi Arabia is simply not acceptable to any population living anywhere in the modern world," Reem Asaad, a finance lecturer in Jeddah, one of the organizers of the campaign told the BBC.
"This is a sensitive part of women's bodies," she said. "You need to have some discussions regarding size, color and attractive choices and you definitely don't want to get into such a discussion with a stranger, let alone a male stranger. I mean this is something I wouldn't even talk to my friends about."
According to reports, another problem that the women face is that the shops don't have fitting rooms. "I have bras with sizes ranging from 32 to 38 because I can't get to try them on," Modie Batterjee, one of the boycott organizers told the AP.
When the law was passed in 2006, the Saudi labor ministry announced it would inspect the shops to ensure that men are not serving customers, and warned that those who failed to follow the law would face fines.
The Independent, a UK-based paper, reported at the time that a survey in Jeddah found that out of 247 shops selling lingerie and beauty products, only three employed women.

Billionaire owner of Atlanta Falcons is served with divorce papers as he watches 2013 Super Bowl minus his NFL team
The owner of the Atlanta Falcons and the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot is being divorced by his wife, according to reports
Arthur Blank, who has been estranged from his wife of 16 years since October 2011, has been finally hit with divorce papers, TMZ writes.
Stephanie Blank, the mother of the Blank's three children and 25 years his junior, filed the papers in Fulton County, Georgia.
Happier times: Stephanie Blank and Arthur Blank, pictured with actress Emily Blunt, right, at an event in 2007, are getting divorced
According to the website, the papers say the union has been 'irretrievably broken' but the parties have privately agreed to the details of their official break.
The confidential deal means it may never be revealed how much Stephanie Blank is set to receive of her husband's reported $1.3billion fortune.
According to the report the couple have also drafted a "comprehensive parenting plan" to ensure they are both involved in raising their three school-age children - a teenage boy and two younger boy-girl twins.
The couple made an amicable split in October 2011 but the divorce comes on the back of a disappointing year for Blank whose NFL side lost to the 49ers in this year's NFC Championship Game.
More bad news: Arthur Blank watched his NFL team's Super Bowl hopes dashed by the 49ers. It today emerged he has been served with divorce papers by his wife
No effect: When Arthur and Stephanie Blank announced their separation they said it would have no impact on Blank's business interests including the Atlanta Falcons, pictured. They are now planning a full divorce
A statement released via The Arthur M.Blank Family Foundation at the time said they would 'remain great friends'
'Arthur and Stephanie have decided to separate from their 16-year marriage.'
'They remain great friends and are committed to working together to parent their three wonderful children.'
'They are also both as committed as ever to their philanthropic work and business enterprises in the community.'
'This is a sad and difficult time for Arthur, Stephanie and their family'.
The statement added that the separation would have no effect on Blank's business enterprises.
According to TMZ the secret divorce deal covers all areas including the couple's Buckhead home.
Blank founded Home Depot alongside Bernard Marcus when the two were fired as Vice President of Finance and CEO respectively.
He has been a major U.S. philanthropist giving away $250million to charity via his foundation and signing The Giving Pledge, vowing to give away a least 50 per cent of his wealth to charity.
Through the influence of his wife the foundation has focused on helping young people across Georgia.
According to her LinkedIn page Stephanie Blank is still heavily involved in the area, chairing the Early Education Alliance for Ready Students and acting as a member of the Georgia State Advisory Council on Early Childhood Education.
It also says she stepped down as a trustee of the Family Foundation last year.
Blank bought the Falcons in 2002.

Scottsburg man receives prison time for multiple offenses
SoVaNow.com / July 21, 2014A Scottsburg man pleaded guilty last week to eluding police, vehicle theft, illegal firearms possession and other felonies that will bring him a substantial prison stint.
Ronnie David Blanks, 35, was originally charged in August 2013 after he led police on a chase that started in Scottsburg and ended with his arrest in the Town of South Boston. He was tried and convicted Wednesday of six counts in Halifax County Circuit Court.
According to the court's website, Blanks received suspended penitentiary time for grand larceny, vehicle theft and eluding police, as well as a 10-year prison sentence, with all but two years and five months suspended, for entering a building with intent to commit assault and battery.
However, he was sentenced to five years in prison for possession of a weapon after being convicted of a felony, and four years and four months for violating his probation as a felony offender.
Blanks was arrested Aug. 14 after the Halifax County Sheriff's Office received a tip of a man riding through Scottsburg on a motorcycle, possibly stolen.
A Sheriff's Office investigator spotted the motorcyclist on U.S. 360 and attempted to make a stop, but Blanks refused to pull over and continued driving the motorcycle into South Boston.
Following a brief pursuit, Blanks lost control of the bike and attempted to flee on foot before he was apprehended by police without incident.
Initially listed as a Greensboro, N.C. resident, Blanks' most recent address is listed as Scottsburg. The crimes for which he was convicted occurred between August and October 2013.

ASPEN Colorado (Reuters) - A top Pentagon intelligence official warned on Saturday that the destruction of Hamas would only lead to something more dangerous taking its place, as he offered a grim portrait of a period of enduring regional conflict.
The remarks by Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the outgoing head of the Defence Intelligence Agency, came as Israeli ministers signalled that a comprehensive deal to end the 20-day-old conflict in the Gaza Strip appeared remote.
At least 1,050 Gazans - mostly civilians - have been killed, and 42 Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel have died.
Flynn disparaged Hamas for exhausting finite resources and know-how to build tunnels that have helped them inflict record casualties on Israelis. Still, he suggested that destroying Hamas was not the answer.
"If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse," Flynn said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.
"A worse threat that would come into the sort of ecosystem there … something like ISIS," he added, referring to the Islamic State, which last month declared an "Islamic caliphate" in territory it controls in Iraq and Syria.
Confined in the crowded, sandy coast enclave of 1.8 million, where poverty and unemployment hover around 40 percent, weary Gazans say they hope the battle will break the blockade that Israel and Egypt impose on them.
Israeli officials said any ceasefire must allow the military to carry on hunting down the Hamas tunnel network that criss-crosses the Gaza border.
Flynn's comments about the conflict came during a gloomy, broader assessment of unrest across the Middle East, including in Syria and Iraq. Flynn said bluntly: "Is there going to be a peace in the Middle East? Not in my lifetime."

Whether your IoT service is connecting cars, homes, appliances, wearable, cameras or other devices, one question hangs in the balance – how do you actually make money from this service? The ability to turn your IoT service into profit requires the ability to create a monetization strategy that is flexible, scalable and working for you in real-time. It must be a transparent, smoothly implemented strategy that all stakeholders – from customers to the board – will be able to understand and comprehe...

In the world of DevOps there are 'known good practices' – aka 'patterns' – and 'known bad practices' – aka 'anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene. In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit at 18th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists will dis...

See storage differently! Storage performance problems have only gotten worse and harder to solve as applications have become largely virtualized and moved to a cloud-based infrastructure. Storage performance in a virtualized environment is not just about IOPS, it is about how well that potential performance is guaranteed to individual VMs for these apps as the number of VMs keep going up real time. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Dhiraj Sehgal, in product and marketing at Tintri, will discu...

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud's transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited.

'Green Scene' at Arboretum
More than 4,000 people flexed their green thumb at the 39th annual Green Scene Plant and Garden Show at April 20-21 at Fullerton Arboretum. The weekend-long event included about 100 exhibitors and an opportunity for attendees to find bulbs, succulents, organic vegetables, plants and various garden supplies.
An art exhibit was also on display at the event, titled "Springtime at the Arboretum: A Botanical and Landscape Watercolor Exhibition by CSUF Art Students." The exhibit is on display through May at Orange County Agricultural and Nikkei Heritage Museum.
Lawrence T. Yun, a Cal State Fullerton art professor hosted a flower painting lecture and demonstration.
The Green Scene event offered several hands-on children's activities and "discovery sessions" for attendees to learn about greener living and earth-friendly home gardening. One of the most popular sessions was the "Farm Tasting Tour," which included a cooking demonstration using vegetables grown on site.

The Cave City Cavemen wasted little time, or little energy, in dispatching the Bradford Eagles from the First Community Bank Pioneer Classic Baseball Tournament March 27 at the North Recreation Complex in Batesville.
The Cavemen, three time champions of the tourney, blitzed past Bradford 21-0 in a four-inning affair.
Joey Barnett picked up the win for Cave City, facing just two batters over the minimum in his time on the hill.
Barnett allowed just one hit while fanning a pair and walking one.
Cave City pounded out 16 hits in the game, but found success early by getting on base the hard way.
After Taylor Milligan led off the game with a walk, Bradford starting pitcher Adam Sisson hit the next four Cave City batters -- the last one bringing Milligan home to score.
Garrett McSpadden then ripped a pitch to center that scored Dalton Carpenter, followed by a shot to center off the bat of Jeremy Johnson that plated Dalton Bell.
Barnett wrapped up the top of the first with a fielder's choice that brought William Boyd around to score, giving the Cavemen a quick 5-0 lead.
Cave City's next runs came in the top of the second, thanks to a double to left from Bell that scored Milligan and a single from Boyd that plated Bell, extending Cave City's lead to 7-0.
Bradford just had no success against Barnett, allowing Cave City to tack on four more runs in the visitor's half of the third.
Milligan ripped an RBI-double, Tyler Booth brought Milligan home to score with a single and then Bell did the major damage in the frame with a triple to the wall in center that drove in Booth and Carpenter.
Up 11-zip after three, Cave City finished the Eagles off with a 10-spot in the top of the fourth. The Cavemen plated eight of those runs in consecutive order, with Derek Chandler, Carson Day, Justin Hunter, Alec Piazza, Kyle Satterwhite, Parker Nolan and Jordan Felts all picking up RBIs in the frame.

How did these books make it into print?,
This review is from: Memory: Book Three of the Scavenger Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
Oh my God! I cannot conceive how anybody could enjoy these books! Although, I must say, these books incited in me some of the strongest feelings I've had reading fantasy fiction. Frustration was an overriding sensation as these books, instead of improving over the trilogy, actually managed to become less intelligible and increasingly soulless. In addition there was anger, that the author couldn't even remember the names of his main characters from one chapter to the next (don't doubt me, he actually does get his character names confused in the second book), and confusion resulting from fundamental mistakes in the text. Finally there was a deep feeling of regret upon completing the trilogy of having wasted my time and my energy, which would have been better employed injecting myself with deadly microbes and slowly watching myself decay in front of a full length mirror.
If you are in any doubt still as to whether you should buy this book, here are a few other observations.
The main character is entirely detestable, never at any point giving you any reason to support him and his pointless existence. At one point he massacres most of the people on his home island for some inconsequential reason that I have blocked out in order to preserve my sanity.
The author would also appear to have an unwholesome interest in writing lengthly instruction manuals on blacksmithing. If perhaps I had bought a book entitled "how to make a small boring looking knife in seven easily digestible chapters" then this would have been forgivable. However, I mistakenly thought I was purchasing a work of fantasy fiction, with all of the well-rounded characters, snappy dialogue and exciting plot turns implicit in such a genre.
In closing I should just like to mention that the entire point of the plot is hinged upon one small pointless occurence in the last chapter of the final book. If you do indeed wish to know how, or if, Poldarn is the cause of his civilisations downfall then I suggest you just read this chapter. Believe me you will have saved yourself a lot of time, and will not have missed anything by way of enjoyment, or plot backstory.

Stamp duty is 'postcode tax' on the middle class, say Tories: MPs demand Osborne raises limit to £500,000 to stop children being forced to live at home like 'overgrown cuckoos'
- Tory MPs call on ministers to raise the 3% stamp duty threshold to £500,000
- Stamp duty is levied at 3% on homes bought for more than £250,000
- Houses bought for between £125,001 and £250,000 hit with 1% duty
Stamp duty is a 'middle class postcode tax' which forces children to squat in their parents' homes like 'overgrown cuckoos', Tory MPs said.
They demanded that George Osborne scrap the duty on homes worth less than £500,000, saying it 'clobbers' ordinary families and young first-time buyers.
Anne Main, Conservative MP for St Albans, said stamp duty 'discriminates' against the South and is a 'burdensome tax affecting that most British of ideals – home ownership'.
Soaring house prices are pushing more and more people into paying higher rates of stamp duty
She claimed ministers' failure to act has led her to question whether the current Tory leadership still shares Margaret Thatcher's dream of a property-owning democracy.
Dominic Raab, Tory MP for Esher and Walton, described stamp duty as a 'vindictive stealth tax on aspirational Britain' and an 'assault by the taxman on hard-working, middle-income savers'.
But Treasury minister David Gauke rejected calls for reform, saying the duty raises almost £10billion a year and 'we need the money'.
Stamp duty is paid when people buy a home, and is charged at differing rates depending on the value of the property.
It amounts to 1 per cent on homes worth between £125,001 and £250,000 and 3 per cent on properties up to £500,000.
Homes worth £500,001 or more are taxed at 4 per cent, while 5 per cent is charged on those worth more than £1million and 7 per cent on £2million-plus properties.
Treasury minister David Gauke said raising the stamp duty threshold to £500,000 would cost more than £4billion
Critics say the system is unfair because the thresholds between the bands have not changed for years, despite soaring house prices, meaning bands designed for the very well-off have now dragged in people on modest incomes.
Opponents also say the system distorts the housing market, and deem it unfair that buyers pay tax on the full value of the property, not just on the amount above the threshold.
Opening a Westminster Hall debate on stamp duty, Mrs Main said scrapping the levy on all homes worth less than £500,000 would fuel economic growth and increase home ownership.
She claimed that any fall in Treasury receipts would be affordable, as long as the Government stops wasting money on projects such as the Lib Dems' free school meals policy.
'I'm concerned that by allowing so many people to be sucked into paying ever higher rates of tax, despite earnings either rising modestly – or indeed earnings that have been frozen, such as in the public sector – we are actually denying our families of the future the chance to own their own home,' she said.
'In 1980, we believed in encouraging families of all levels of income to own their own home and I hope we haven't moved away from that ideal.'
She said that in her constituency, 87 per cent of homes are now subject to stamp duty. 'Taxes that I believe were originally designed for the wealthy home buyer now bring in so much money to the Treasury that I think it's being seen as an untouchable cash cow,' she added. 'Collection of stamp duty in its current forms is discriminatory, unfairly targeting certain areas of the country regardless of ability to pay and that cannot be fair.
'It's the ordinary families being clobbered the most by this tax.' She gave the example of low-paid public sector workers, noting that 'they have a mountain to climb' in saving for their own property.
Mrs Main said they faced either paying high rents – particularly in the South – or alternatively may be 'squatting like overgrown cuckoos in their parents' home'.
'In some postcodes, hardly anyone pays any tax to the Chancellor, not even 1 per cent on a modest three-bedroom semi-detached house,' she said. 'In other areas, such as mine, the same house has a huge 3 per cent tax bill attached to it.'
Mr Raab said that in 2000, there were 391,000 homes exempt from stamp duty, but the number has halved due to house price inflation.
'It is not just the uber-wealthy ... who are paying the burden, it is middle England, the middle classes,' he said.
Home ownership now stands at its lowest level since 1988. Only around 64 per cent of people own their own homes, down from 69 per cent in 2001.
Treasury minister David Gauke said raising the stamp duty threshold to £500,000 could result in tax revenues falling by £4.2billion.
'In 2013/14, [stamp duty] raised £9.3billion. That is a substantial sum ... and it is money that, frankly, we need,' he said.

A lot of you have been waiting, patiently or otherwise, for the release of the 2014-15 NBA schedule. Well, your wait is over. We now know the Trail Blazers will begin their 2014-15 season at home versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, with their first road game the two nights later in Sacramento versus the Kings on Halloween. The Trail Blazers have 16 nationally-televised games (10 on ESPN and six on TNT) with the rest airing on KGW Channel 8 and Comcast SportsNet Northwest.
The NBA was forced to push back this year's schedule release in order to retool after it was (wisely) decided that it would be nice for players who participate in All-Star weekend to get an actual break from basketball by tacking a few extra days on to the All-Star break in February. And as you can see from the schedule, the Trail Blazers will have eight days off for the 2015 All-Star break, two days more than they got for the 2014 All-Star break. For a team that relies on their starters like the Trail Blazers do, that's a great thing, and definitely worth waiting a few extra weeks for.
What's more, the league was able to add those extra days to what I guess we can now call All-Star Week without starting the season much earlier or ending it much later than in 2013-14, at least for the Trail Blazers. Portland started last season on Oct. 30, just a day later than they're starting the 2014-15 season versus the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Moda Center on Oct. 29. And the Trail Blazers end their 2014-15 regular season a day earlier than last season, all while playing the same number of back-to-backs. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is some kind of wizard.
Once again, the Trail Blazers will NOT be a part of the NBA's Christmas Day schedule nor will they play on New Year's Day (or Eve, for that matter), which is just fine by me, though I know many of you who don't have to work holidays rather enjoy going to games on your off days. They will, however, play on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, which has become somewhat of a tradition for the Trail Blazers, in a home game versus the Kings on January 19, 2015.
You can sign up for the single-game ticket presale or buy one of our tickets packages, though season tickets are always the best way to go if you have the means.

November: 8
December: 8
January: 8
February: 5
March: 8
April: 4
A couple things …
— The first thing that strikes me about this schedule is how evenly weighted it is. December, January and March all having the same number of games, 16, and November featuring 15 games makes for a a schedule with few peaks and valleys. Even Portland's 19 back-to-backs are spread out such a way that makes no month better or worse then the rest. And while the 2013-14 results aren't exactly the best way to predict how good a team is going to be in 2014-15, the difficult games seem to be evenly weighted over the course of the season as well, with November, December, January and March featuring eight games against playoff teams.
— As previously mentioned, the Trail Blazers play 19 back-to-backs this season, with 10 of those taking place exclusively on the road, which means a quarter of Portland's road games this season are on the second night of a back-to-back. That's not fantastic, but the Blazers have been good to great in back-to-backs over the last few seasons and, in the long run, you'd probably trade more back-to-backs for shorter road trips.
— Starting the season with 11 home games, compared to just six on the road, presents the Trail Blazers with an opportunity to get off to a great start. Portland played just seven home games in November during the 2013-14 season and still managed to get off to one of their best starts in franchise history, so perhaps home games aren't all that important to a hot start, but it sure doesn't hurt.
And what a slate of great games in November at the Moda Center. Playing the Warriors, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Bulls, Hornets and Grizzlies should be an exciting way to start the season all while giving you a decent sense of what this Trail Blazers team is made of.
— On the flip side, December, with a five-game road trip, a four-game road trip, four road-road back-to-backs and 10 road games overall, is probably the Trail Blazers' toughest month. March is no cakewalk either, but two games against the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs on top of at Chicago, at Oklahoma City and at Houston makes December the cruelest month, in my opinion.
— But having said that, look at that beautiful home stand spanning the end of December through the middle of January. The team will get in from Oklahoma City early on Christmas Eve morning and will not board a plane until they leave for the second night of a back-to-back in Los Angeles against the Lakers on January 11. That's 18 straight nights of sleeping in your own bed during a time of year in which most want to spend as much time at home with their families as possible. And considering that the Atlanta Hawks are likely the best team Portland will play during that home stand, that 18-day stretch seems like a great opportunity to stack some wins before the second half of the season.
— While the new and improved All-Star break results in the Trail Blazers playing just eight games in February, four fewer than last season, it might be end up being the most important month of the season thanks to games against the Suns, Mavericks, Rockets, Grizzlies, Spurs and Thunder. All of those teams either made the 2014 Western Conference playoffs or came within a few games of doing so.
— The Trail Blazers will play the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings just three times this season, while playing the other eight Western Conference teams four times. And like every non-shortened season, the Trail Blazers will face every Eastern Conference opponent twice.
Now some games of note …
Wednesday, October 29 vs. Oklahoma City, 7:30 PM
Trail Blazers open the 2014-15 season at home versus the Thunder, a team that has won the Northwest Division the last four seasons, on ESPN. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, two mainstays of USA Basketball, decided to forgo playing in the upcoming 2014 FIBA World Cup, so you can assume both will be plenty rested for the start of the NBA season.
The Thunder and Trail Blazers split the 2013-14 season series 2-2, with each team winning one home and one road game.
Tuesday, November 4 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 PM
A huge early-season game at the Moda Center. Between the return of LeBron James, who always gives the Trail Blazers fits in Portland, and the expected addition of Lake Oswego High School alumnus Kevin Love makes this game one of the highlights of Portland's home schedule. And that's to say nothing of the budding friendly rivalry between point guards Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving.
The Trail Blazers swept the 2013-14 season series versus the Cavaliers, though that doesn't matter much now given the roster turnover in Cleveland.
Friday, November 21 vs. Chicago Bulls, 7:30 PM
The last time we saw Bulls point guard Derrick Rose in an NBA game, he was limping off the court at the Moda Center after suffering a season-ending knee injury, his second in as many seasons. He'll return to Portland almost exactly a year later (anyone else think that's a little macabre of the NBA schedule makers) and this time he'll have former Laker Pau Gasol in tow along with rookie Doug McDermott and the only center in the NBA who can challenge Robin Lopez for hair supremacy, Joakim Noah. This one is being picked up by ESPN, as is the game versus the Bulls in Chicago on December 12.
The Trail Blazers swept the 2013-14 season series with the Bulls. In fact, the Blazers haven't lost to the Bulls since 2010.
Friday, November 30 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, 7 PM
Assuming the reports that the Timberwolves will send Kevin Love to Cleveland in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and some combination of draft picks is true, this will be our first chance to get an in-person look at No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, not to mention Zach LaVine, the ultra-athletic guard the Timberwolves selected with the 13th overall pick. Minnesota will once again be in full rebuild mode if the trade rumors are to be believed, but they'll have enough talent to make games interesting, if not entirely competitive.
Portland went 3-1 versus Minnesota last season.
Monday, December 15 vs. San Antonio Spurs, 7 PM
This will be Portland's first crack at the team that eliminated the Trail Blazers from the 2014 Playoffs before steamrolling their way to yet another championship. The Spurs treat the regular season with thinly-veiled contempt, so there's no guarantee that the likes of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili won't be resting even this early in the season, but they've shown throughout the years that they don't need their best players to beat you.
The Trail Blazers and Spurs split the series 2-2 last season before San Antonio took the second-round 4-1.
Monday, December 22 @ Houston Rockets, 5 PM
If the gave versus the Spurs is the yin, this game versus the Rockets is the yang. This game will be Houston's first chance to get some pent-up frustration out of their collective systems after the Rockets were eliminated from the 2014 Playoffs in Game 6 at the Moda Center. Chandler Parsons, Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik are all gone, but James Harden and Dwight Howard still pose a formidable duo.
Portland lost the season series 3-1 to the Rockets, though as was the case with the Spurs, the playoff series record is what really mattered.
Monday, January 5 vs. L.A. Lakers, 7 PM
The Los Angeles Lakers just ain't what they used to be, but Trail Blazers fans get pumped up for this one regardless. Kobe Bryant's last great game, a 47-point, eight-rebound, five-assist, four-block, three-steal performance while playing all 48 minutes, took place at the Moda Center on April 12, 2013, so it will be interesting to see what the "Black Mamba" has left in the tank after sitting out all by six games of the 2013-14 season. It'll also be a fun sociological experiment to see how many Lakers fans show up at the Moda Center now that they've fallen on some hard times.
OAKLAND — For the first three quarters, it looked as though the Portland Trail Blazers might actually beat the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena, something that only two teams have managed to do in the last seven months.
But unfortunately for the Trail Blazers, NBA games last four quarters. And Tuesday night in Oakland, the Warriors outscored the Trail Blazers 34-12 in the final 12 minutes to come away with a 110-99 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 19,596 in Game Two of the Western Conference semifinals.
"We played three really good quarters, and we showed that we can compete with them, and it got away from us in the fourth quarter, obviously," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "It was disappointing to lose a game that you're competitive and you're in a position to be in the fourth quarter. But we've got to close it out… It was an opportunity to get a win on the road, and we've got to learn from it and be ready to go get one in Game Three."
The Warriors now lead the series 2-0.
"I think nights like tonight, they suck," said Damian Lillard. "It hurts to go back in the locker room after you play so well for so long and you come back in there with the L. But it is a part of growth. The entire season has been growth for us. But nights like tonight, we have to close that out. We have to get that done. It was just a missed opportunity."
The first half of Tuesday night's game went about as well as the Trail Blazers could possible expect, with Portland taking a 17-point lead in the second quarter thanks to shooting 51 percent from the field and 50 percent from three. Though the Warriors would cut into the Trail Blazers lead thanks to an 18-3 run, Portland, as was the case for most of the night, always seemed to counter at just the right time to quiet the Oracle Arena crowd. That counter in at the end of the second quarter came courtesy of back-to-back threes from Al-Farouq Aminu and Damian Lillard to push the lead back to eight by the intermission.
Portland, thanks mostly to Lillard going 6-of-11 from the field and 4-of-5 from three in the third, extended their lead to 11 going into the fourth quarter before Golden State got white hot to finish out the game. The Warriors took their first lead of the night early in the fourth quarter and would go on to win by 11 after finishing out the game by shooting 11-of-18 in the final 12 minutes of regulation. The Trail Blazers also play right into the Warriors' hands by turning the ball over five times while going 5-of-19 from the field.
"I think the last run, they were desperate," said Lillard. "It got to the point where it was win or lose. There wasn't another quarter after that. It wasn't just stay with it. It was, 'We've got to do it now.' And they played desperate, and we just didn't respond to it well enough to finish the game."
The Trail Blazers were led by Lillard, who scored 17 in the third quarter before finishing with 25 points on 8-of-20 shooting from the field and 6-of-11 shooting from three, six assists and four rebounds in 40 minutes. CJ McCollum went 9-of-19 for 22 points, two rebounds and two assists in 41 minutes.
Aminu got off to a fast start, scoring 10 points in the first quarter before finishing with 14 to go along with six rebounds and two assists. Maurice Harkless would add 11 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes with Gerald Henderson coming off the bench to add 12.
As was the case in Game One, Klay Thompson would lead the Warriors with 27 points on 7-of-20 shooting from the field and 5-of-14 shooting from three. Draymond Green, who was the driving force along with Festus Ezeli in Golden State's pivotal fourth quarter, was just shy of another triple-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes while also blocking four shots.
"I think there came a point where me and Klay were trying to do too much," said Green. "When we settled down and trusted everybody else, that's when everything started to click for us. So as far as the way I've been playing with the exception of that one game, it's playoff basketball. This is what we live for. You play the whole season to get to this point."
Shaun Livingston and Harrison Barnes scored 14 and 13 points, respectively, with Andre Igoudala putting up 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting off the bench.
Next up, the series takes a three-day break before shifting to Portland for Game Three on Saturday at the Moda Center.
"We've been in bad positions time and time again, and we've never shied away," said Lillard. "We've never not answered the call. I don't see why this time it would be any different. In our last series against the Clippers, we were down 0-2. We went home, and the next two games they were pretty much full strength. They had their guys and we got it done those two games. Obviously, Golden State is a different monster, but we know the same thing can happen, and that's what we're going in there thinking and believing, and we're back on our home floor. We've got to go out there and play a game like tonight and go finish it."
Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 pm on ABC and 620 AM.
The Trail Blazers held shootaround Tuesday morning at the Olympic Club in downtown San Fransisco in preparation for tonight's Game Two of the Western Conference semifinal matchup versus the Warriors at Oracle Arena (tipoff scheduled for 7:30 pm on TNT and 620 AM). Some notes from shootaround…
• The Trail Blazers, after losing badly in Game One of their first round series versus the Clippers, made a host of adjustments going into Game Two. Whether it was having Al-Farouq Aminu guard Chris Paul, using Mason Plumlee to initiate more of the offense or giving spot minutes to Chris Kaman, Terry Stotts and is staff came up with a number of ways to mitigate L.A.'s advantages, which ultimately helped the Trail Blazers go on to win the series in six games.
So after the Trail Blazers lost 118-106 to the the Warriors in Game One of their second round series on Sunday afternoon, one might have assumed that Portland would once again make wholesale changes in time for Game Two Tuesday night at Oracle Arena. Turns out, that isn't necessarily the case. While the Trail Blazers are sure to try a few different things, their adjustments will likely be a change of approach rather than tactics.
"The short answer to that is a little bit less only because it's such a different style," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts of whether he'd be make more or less adjustments versus the Warriors. "So the adjustments that we're making for this series is just trying to adjust from playing a team that's so different than the team that we just played six games. Clippers play a different style of game, and that's the adjustment we have to make."
That difference in styles between the Clippers and Warriors makes Portland's preparation for Game Two a bit more abstract than it was in the last series. The Warriors tend to play more of a freewheeling brand of basketball than the Clippers, which requires more nuanced adjustments on Portland's end.
"I would say fewer adjustments for sure, because they play basketball," said Mason Plumlee. "There aren't a whole lot of plays, they exploit what they see as their playing the game. So it's not a whole lot of scouting of plays, it's more tendencies and personnel."
The changes that worked versus the Clippers not necessarily working versus the Warriors is more proof of the individuality of every playoff series. The situations might be somewhat similar, but that doesn't mean the solutions are the same.
"Everybody keeps drawing comparisons; you've got to let that last series go," said Plumlee. "Every series is new, they're a better team. This series is completely different so we have to make a point to come out and win this next game. I don't think you can count on them getting up 2-0 and then giving you four-straight, so this next game is a big one."
• When the Warriors went to their small lineups in Game One, the Trail Blazers countered by doing the same, with varying degrees of success. Portland played multiple lineups during the course of Sunday afternoon's loss that have rarely been on the court together this season, if at all, including a five-man group that featured Maurice Harkless at "center" surrounded by four guards.
But Golden State has extensive experience utilizing small lineups, at least relative to Portland, and with the personnel on their roster reflecting that reality. So it's debatable just how much the Trail Blazers should try to match those units rather than trying to take advantage of a size advantage.
"I'll be dating myself, but when Seattle beat Golden State back in '92, '93, something like that, and (Don Nelson) was playing small ball and George (Karl) stayed big with Benoit Benjamin and Derrick McKey and Shawn Kemp. So (Seattle) beat (Golden State) playing to their strengths. I think the important thing is that you play to your strengths more than anything else."
Stotts will likely continue to give some nontraditional lineups a try when the Warriors go small, but it'll be just as important for their standard lineups to fare better than they did in Game One, particularly after giving up 16 offensive rebounds, which led to 17 second-chance points.
Said Mason Plumlee: "I think a way to punish them when they go small is to own the glass, get second-chance points and finish everything inside."
• Though no one in the media knew about it until he answered questions in a decidedly raspy voice after Game One, Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has been battling a significant chest cold for roughly the last week. While it stands to reason that an athlete, especially one playing at the highest level, would be affected negatively by such an illness, Lillard refused to blame the infirmaty for his less-than-stellar performance Sunday afternoon at Oracle Arena.
"I actually felt pretty good," said Lillard. "Obviously being clogged up inside, it has you a little bit more winded than usual. There's no excuses. The bottom line is my team needs me to perform better than I did."
And it sounds, literally, like Lillard's lungs won't be as much of an issue in Game Two. The 6-3 point guard in his fourth season out of Weber State didn't exactly sound like his normal self prior to Tuesday morning's shootaround, but he said he's making progress toward feeling better and didn't sound as though his chest was on fire when making said proclamation.
"I feel better," said Lillard. "Obviously still trying to shake it. That's pretty much what I've been doing the last two days, just trying to do different stuff to make myself feel better for tonight."
Greetings from San Fransisco. After the Trail Blazers lost 118-106 to the Warriors in Game One of their Western Conference semifinal series, Joe Freeman, he of The Oregonian/OregonLive.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of ForwardCenter.net/TrailBlazers.com, grabbed a couple mics to record the first second round edition of the Rip City Report podcast, which is now available for your afternoon listening…
On this edition, we discuss Sunday afternoon's loss, Portland's tough start and whether there's anything positive to be taken from the last three quarters, dealing with Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, the eventual return of Stephen Curry and if there any similarities between Sunday's game and Game One versus the Clippers. We also answer a host of questions about Allen Crabbe, the enthusiasm at Oracle Arena, the quick turnaround from Game Six to the second Game One and give some tips on packing for regular business travel. And we also start the show off with some bad Mike Meyers impersonations. Sorry about that.
You can find the Rip City Report on Soundcloud, iTunes and Stitcher. We'll talk again after Game Two.

Handcuffed Calif. woman uses 'Houdini' move, spits in cop's face
Things took a strange and violent turn after assault suspect was handcuffed
By David DeBolt
Contra Costa Times
RICHMOND, Calif. — A Richmond woman described as "Houdini" for her ability to flip her handcuffed arms over her head spent Mother's Day in a jail cell after allegedly fighting with family and spitting in a police officer's face, authorities said.
It all started when police were called to a home on the 4400 block of Bell Avenue near John F. Kennedy High School just before noon on a report of a family fight, said Sgt. Nicole Abetkov. There, officers found 21-year-old Clotile Ducre, who allegedly had assaulted a family member while trying to visit her child, Abetkov said.
Things took a strange and violent turn when Ducre was handcuffed, Abetkov said. Like a contortionist, Ducre pulled her shoulder out of its socket to flip her arms over her head not once, but twice, Abetkov said. Chief Chris Magnus later described her as a "Houdini" in a Twitter post.
With her hands cuffed in front of her, Ducre banged on a patrol car window while she screamed for her child, and kicked an officer, Abetkov said. She also allegedly spit in the face of an officer, who later went to the hospital for blood work because some of the spit landed in his mouth. The officer is awaiting the results of the test.
Before taking her to County Jail in Martinez, officers placed a mask over her mouth to stop her from spitting on them and placed her in a device called "the wrap" to prevent her from breaking free.
Ducre was booked on a felony no-bail warrant and on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, assaulting a family member, and possession of a controlled substance suspected to be heroin.
