Heat guard Ray Allen told reporters in Miami that he's eager for the season-opener on Tuesday against the Celtics, which he views as an opportunity to "move forward" after weeks of back-and-forth dialogue through the media with his former team.
"We can move on," Allen told reporters on Saturday of what Tuesday's game in Miami represents. "I think it's two-fold, having a ring ceremony and then playing Boston. It's like both situations, letting go of what happened last year and we can move forward."
After spending five seasons with the Celtics, Allen said that he would not be snagged by sentimentality in his first opportunity to reunite with several of his former teammates.
"I'm not over-emotional," Allen told reporters. "Just go out and get a win. I want to win the game. It's good to see my past teammates. You have to be excited about this new chapter. You just make sure that you just enjoy what you're doing and pay homage to where I've been."

Israel Puts Global Facilities On High Alert Following Warning Of Rising Iran Strike Threat
While the world rejoices in the aftermath of the enjoyable diversion in which a fake market surges on fake, politically-motivated data, which incidentally refutes the warning voiced last week by the Fed Chairman who has a far better grasp of the economy than the BLS, warned last week, the confluence of real events continues to indicate that something is brewing in the middle east. Only this time it is not the US adding another aircraft carrier to the three already situated by the Straits of Hormuz. This time the smoke and fire come from Israel. ABC reports that "Israeli facilities in North America -- and around the world -- are on high alert, according to an internal security document obtained by ABC News that predicted the threat from Iran against Jewish targets will increase. "We predict that the threat on our sites around the world will increase … on both our guarded sites and 'soft' sites," stated a letter circulated by the head of security for the Consul General for the Mid-Atlantic States. Guarded sites refers to government facilities like embassies and consulates, while 'soft sites' means Jewish synagogues, and schools, as well as community centers like the one hit by a terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994 that killed 85 people." Hopefully the head of security's prediction track record is better than that of the CBO, and that the very act of prediction does not in effect "make it so." At least courtesy of this latest escalation by Israel we get a clue of what to focus on, if not so much who the actual aggressors will be. In the meantime, Iran, which has been dealing with hyperinflation for weeks now, and likely has bigger problems to worry about than focusing on "soft sites" will naturally sense this escalation as the provocation it may well be meant to be, respond in kind, which will lead to further responses of definite attacks imminent by Iran's adversaries, and so on, and so forth, until finally the dam wall finally cracks.
Regarding who may be attacked, ABC had this to say:
The head of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, told an audience at a closed forum in Tel Aviv recently that Iran is trying to hit Israeli targets because of what it believes are Israeli attacks on it nuclear scientists. Yoram Cohen said that Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the same militant wing of the government linked to the recent alleged plot against the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., is working tirelessly to attack Israeli and Jewish targets abroad in order to deter Israel.
And just how is attacking Jewish targets abroad detering Israel? Oh wait, the assumption is that Iran is completely irrational and willing to provoke anyone for the sake of converting itself into one big lake of glass. Or so the public should believe. Got it.
Naturally, the 'response' is already in play.
Local and regional law enforcement and intelligence officials in U.S. and Canadian cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Toronto have been monitoring the situation closely for several weeks, and have stepped up patrols at Israeli government locations and Jewish cultural and religious institutions. They have issued awareness bulletins reminding officers to stay vigilant.
Federal officials in those cities told ABC News that they have also increased their efforts to watch for any threat stream pointing to an imminent attack on either Israeli facilities, Jewish cultural or religious institutions or other "soft targets."
"When there is posturing like this, we always pay extra attention to any threat streams," one federal official said.
"The thwarted assassination plot of a Saudi official in Washington, D.C., a couple of months ago was an important data point," added the official, "in that it showed at least parts of the Iranian establishment were aware of the intended event and were not concerned about inevitable collateral damage to U.S. citizens had they carried out an assassination plot on American soil."
"That was an eye opener, showing that they did not care about any collateral damage," the federal official said.
After the disruption of the alleged plot, regional intelligence centers issued bulletins similar to the recent Israeli warning.
Here is what has to be accepted as fact for the narrative to work:
"In the past few weeks, there has been an escalation in threats against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world," one regional document noted. "Open source has reported many demonstrations against Israel are expected to be concentrated on Israeli embassies and consulates. Such demonstrations have occurred internationally as well as domestically. These demonstrations could potentially turn violent at local synagogues, restaurants, the Israeli Embassy and other Israeli sites. … Law enforcement should be vigilant when making periodic checks at all Jewish facilities.
Once that is engrained in the public conscience, the letter's climax become a foregone conclusion:
"In conclusion, we operate according to the information that Iran and Hezbollah are working hard and with great intensity to release a 'quality' attack against Israeli/Jewish sites around the world."
We've seen this play by play many times before and frankly at this point the posturing is getting just silly. What we do want to find out, however, is how will Russia get involved in all of this. Because if recent actions are any precedent, we fully expect Putin to send an aircraft carrier, purely symbolically, in the Arabian Sea himself, just to indicate that any invasion, pardon, liberation, of Iran crude, will first have to go through him. And not to mention China... or India.
Finally, because some have expressed curiosity why the USS Enterprise, the oldest aircraft carrier in the US Navy, will be the 3rd "supporting" carrier in the Straits area, when it is due for decommissioning next year, here is one video with a theory, whether correct or incorrect, on why events may be transpiring the way they are.

False flag event in 3....2.....1....
A reverse false flag
Oil to $150?
That will happen over the next few months without a trigger, due to lax monetary policy and supply constraints.
A trigger puts the price in the $250-$300 range.
The price is slipping due to production loss and fiat devaluation. The curve is more than constant, it is moving towards parabolic. Pull the trigger and it lights the fuse.
What's supply and demand got to do with it?
Well....the world might soon find out:
The mass "deflation" the world is facing is an implosion of false hope and faith in Mammon IMHO.
As for "false flags", stop kidding yourself:
As for the U.S.S. Enterprise, note it's role in "Operation Praying Mantis":

Terrorism is going to be one of the major issues in 2012, but nobody wants to face up to it. America needs to understand that terrorism, both domestic and external, is a real threat to our way of life. We can't just rely on our military for protection, we also need strong surveillance networks at home, and rewards for routing out potential domestic terrorists.
Me thinks the true instigator here is Israel, not Iran.
As for routing out domestic terrorists, I don't think those in the White House and heading the world's banks would appreciate your suggestion MDB. They're happy where they are.
NO. It is IRAN.
In Iran, cars next to scientists just happen to blow up all the time. They probably imported chinese gasoline or were made in Russia.
And our law enforcement needs to guard all the jewish shit it possibly can. We cannot stand idly by while an aggressive state with nuclear weapons conducts itself belligerently in the middle east. We must not only encourage but SUPPORT that state and get our people out to lay across puddles in the road so jewish shoes don't risk getting wet.
I've just received this video from my inside sources purporting to show "the state of play with the secret peace negotiations." i wish to emphasize the word PURPORT here people--as i can neither confirm nor deny whether the video is in fact authentic (though those sure do like 'mericans to me!) Apparently a viscious rumor was being spread that i was "the winking guy who started it all"--something i can neither confirm nor deny of course (;>). Apparently the Swiss moderators arrived just in time to order us all under arrest....
Can anyone honestly say in light of all this that gold is not going to the moon and up?
Ye of little imagination. Think big. Gold is headed for Pluto ( maybe only Youranus ) and beyond.
More of this bull-shit till the Ides of March appear. Till then, sure... we will have this kind of rumor mongering a-plenty.
Closer to home and much more real is what is happening at San Onofre. Perhaps the Tyler's can do a story to bring it up in the general consciousness?
Very "loaded" time.
I just pray if Israel attacks Iran first, Iran and the Muslim countries wipes Israel off the face of the map so I, as a US citizen, no longer have to pay Israel foreign aid taxes anymore.
Terrorism is a tactic. You can't win a war against a tactic.

Wonder if Dr Paul reads ZH?
750 military bases in 130 countries.
Is the United States of America that Evil that it needs that much protection?
Piers Morgan is a cock sucker. If I saw him in person, I might punch him in the throat. Every time RP was making a point, he cut him off or went to commercial. Typical MSM bullshit. When someone tells the truth, interrupt or cut away. Cock sucker.
great great stuff. how radical to hear an american politician say preemptive war is unwise, impractical and illegal! that we are not the world's policeman required through all time to side with israel in all its combat with its neighbors whatever the circumstances. of course the mainstream must call him crazy.
sorry...forgot to reveal "the secret video." here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1vsmpGfB9Q&feature=player_detailpage
i had no idea the Iranians were such heavy drinkers!
Our Gov't is more of a threat to us than terrorists.....I fear McCain, Graham, Obama, and Holder more and more everyday....Terrorists less and less
Exactly right. The odds of your dying from a bee sting or from a popping champagne cork are greater than dying from terrorism in the U. S. That said, you can bet the alphabet soup tyrants comprised of former Americans in WDC will do their best to lower those odds over the months and years.
"If you see tryanny, say something!"
Did you now that even East Germany with all its tyranny did not set up internal roadside check points which the TSA is now rolling out! You might carefully consder which side you want to be on in the future. There are 25,000,000 vets in the U. S. and some may not like you!!!!!!!
you know people used this song all the time under "W"...but it seems more appropos now as "on the brink of peace World War III erupts."
As the Arabs say so well "tis God's will."
TSA is a jobs program that is far more annoying than welfare. This is the government's idea of creating jobs at your expense.
And $54 Bil. for Homeland Security creates a lot of jobs, and suspects they might talk in to being Perps.
I dont know about the rest of you but i'm never quite sure if I should give MDB a point up because I like the sarcasm, or a point down so that the huge red number drives home the absurdity of his post. Conundrum
Well..It doesn't get anymore Hitler Youth then this..
That's exactly what Adolf Hitler did. The Nazis burned down the Reichstag and blamed it on Russian Jewish terrorists. They then took away much of the peoples rights (especially privacy rights) and set up a surveillance aka "big brother" society in the name of security. They then rewarded people who ratted out other citizens who may be "domestic terrorists". So, MDB, in your own words you would like to see Amerika turn into Nazi Germany. What a great idea! Surely nothing could go wrong with that ideology!
Silver has been known to be a great natural antibiotic for years and much better than synthetics because it doesn't kill the good bacteria. Cooidal silver is carried by a lot of backpackers and explorers types for its healing powers. Not surprised it may have even more benefits
Putting nanomaterials with almost no mechanisms for expulsion into your body is kind of a bad idea ... they will accumulate. Gold probably won't do much but silver is a catalyst for a lot of reactions so I'd be hesitant at filling my cells with the stuff, also it can make you look like a smurf.
Government studies have also concluded that consuming silver causes rapid weight gain!
is that like "silver spooning"?
Those are silver ions that cause argyria, NOT colloidal silver. A common misconception. Proper atomic colloidal silver does NOT bio-accumulate and is a potent antibiotic. Improperly generated silver through crude generators will generate significant amounts of ions, which will precipitate when it comes in contact with the gabillions of chloride ions in the human body.
Colloidal silver is suspended (thus the colloid) atomic silver particles.
Have taken it for years as a prophylaxis, with no negative effects. It has been used topically for years in burn wrappings as well.
To each his own, but at least get your information correct.
the smurf man was a psyop to scare the sheep away from colloidal silver. big pharma is a scam. they create the disease, they sell you drugs that cover symptoms and more drugs to deal with side effects... just another layer of control.
So does the BLUE MAN GROUP have all their wealth invested with Sprott?
It's definitely a real occurrence. It happened to my neighbor. She didn't turn blue though - just gray. She seriously looks like a walking corpse. Very scary looking.
The particles are small enough to bypass cell walls and nothing binds to them ... how exactly do you suppose the body gets rid of it? I guess you could argue that simple diffusion means it won't accumulate, but that's a tad slow.
BTW, humans are generally speaking biotic ...
I am a firm supporter of silver and a self-proclaimed silver bug, but the safety and effectiveness of Colloidal Silver has not been scientifically proven. Needless to say, I will only advocate its use and use it myself when it has been scientifically proven to be safe and effective. I don't want to be responsible for people causing harm to themselves based on my advice or support of Colloidal Silver.
And it kills werewolves... which is nice
I think it doesn't. The study ref'd is a "perspective" (i.e. non-peer-reviewed) piece in a bottom-tier journal, that makes passing reference to a weak research study published in 2008 in another bottom-tier journal called "Metal Based Drugs." What are the odds of getting your Ag study published in Metal Based Drugs?
But likely none of this will sway you, so fire away.
5- A massive Russian nuclear war-fighting air drill in the Arctic Circle that started on 9/10/01, the largest such exercise up to that time since the seeming collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, diverted NORAD's attention and monitoring to Canadian airspace and the Arctic just in time for the hijacked airline attacks on 9/11 in the U.S. This diversionary event also drew U.S. air defense warplanes into Alaska and Canada such that they were unavailable when needed on 9/11 to intercept hijacked jetliners striking U.S. targets:
Hey....but why let the truth interfere with your foolish anti-American, anti-Israeli inclinations that have been intentionally stoked to open the way for World War Three, the destruction of Western Civilization and Russia's domination of the world in the name of "god"?:

LJWorld.com weblogs The Newell Post
5 things to learn about the KU basketball team from Hoop-Math.com
A few months ago, I stumbled upon Jeff Haley's Hoop-Math website and was immediately interested by his analysis.
Basically, Haley breaks the shots of each team's possession using play-by-play data from box scores.
The data can be broken down by team and individually, giving us some insight into the patterns of players that we might not have had before.
Here are five interesting things about last year's KU basketball team I found from sifting through the Jayhawks' team page, followed some thoughts about what those numbers might mean for KU this year.
1. Elijah Johnson's wacky shooting splits
Haley's data breaks down each player's shots into three categories: shots that are at the rim (listed as layups in the box score), two-point jumpers and three-point jumpers.
Last year, the NCAA average for each was easy to remember: 34 percent of shots were at the rim, 33 percent were two-point jumpers and 33 percent were three-point jumpers.
Now, let's take a look at Elijah's splits.
|%2pt. jumpers
|%3pt. jumpers
Ken Pomeroy had a similar finding about Johnson over the summer, as after sorting through shot-chart data, he discovered that Johnson took only 50 of his 330 shots from between six feet and the three-point line.
Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that so far that Johnson has looked a bit timid trying to get to the lane and create a shot off the dribble in the exhibition season.
In case you were wondering, Johnson took 19 shots in KU's two exhibition games. Fourteen of those (73.6 percent) were three-pointers, three of them (15.8 percent) were close shots and two of them (10.5 percent) were two-point jumpers.
It appears that Johnson has still has a ways to go if he's going to diversify his offensive game in 2012-13.
2. Jeff Withey's unassisted two-pointers
Jeff Withey earned the most praise because of defensive play last year, and deservedly so, as he was one of the nation's most feared shot-blockers.
He also averaged nine points per game, and without Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor on the team this year, I think quite a few people anticipated that those scoring numbers would go up significantly.
That perhaps isn't a realistic goal if you consider Withey's assisted layup splits from a year ago.
|Withey %Close shots assisted
|Robinson %Close shots assisted
Out of the Final Four teams, there was no player with more than 25 field-goal attempts who had a higher percentage of layups that were assisted than Withey. Very few of his layups came from him making a move on his own; almost all came with the help of a pass from a teammate.
That's not to say that Withey can't improve his one-on-one game this season. And that's also doesn't mean that Withey couldn't increase his point production by making more two-point jumpers (though known as a good free-throw shooter, he made just 29 percent of his two-point jump shots last year, which is well below the 35-percent NCAA average).
It does mean, however, that last year he didn't necessarily display the skill set to create his own easy shots like Robinson did. That's a part of his game that will still need development if KU coach Bill Self continues to run the offense through him.
3. KU's best mid-range shooter
Any guesses as to which KU regular ended up as the Jayhawks' best two-point jump-shooter?
It actually was Travis Releford, who made 48 percent of his two-point jumpers (remember, 35 percent is NCAA average).
Releford wasn't getting too much help, either. Just 27 percent of those two-point jumpers were assisted, meaning the numbers would suggest that he is an effective scorer when pulling up off the dribble.
On a KU team that might struggle to score, Releford should at least consider being more aggressive in pull-up situations, where he was an effective player in 2012-13.
4. The importance of getting back
I touched earlier on Jeff Withey's defensive presence for KU, and that impact comes through pretty strong in these numbers.
Opponents shot just 54 percent on close two-point jumpers against KU last year, compared to the national average of 61 percent.
One of the biggest problems for KU last year was allowing opponents to score against an unset defense — aka, when Withey hadn't made it back into the paint yet.
Let's take a look at some of the time splits for KU's defense last year on the opposition's layups (Note: For shot clock data, Haley only looks at the first shots of possessions).
|Close FG%
After rebound
0-10 seconds into possession
|Close FG%
After rebound
11-35 seconds into possession
|Close FG%
After opp. score
0-10 seconds
|Close FG%
After opp. score
11-35 seconds
|Close FG%
After steal
0-10 seconds
|Close FG%
After steal
11-35 seconds
Now you can see why Self goes so crazy on the sidelines urging his players to get back on defense after a missed shot.
The differences in the two percentages after a rebound are especially striking. If opponents grabbed the rebound, then raced down the court and were able to get a layup against KU in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock, they made 77 percent of those shots (NCAA average is 64 percent).
If those teams waited 11 seconds or more for those layups, they made just 53 percent of them (NCAA average is 58 percent).
After every KU missed shot with Withey on the floor, you can be confident in knowing that, if the shot clock gets down to 25, the opponent already missed out on its best opportunity to score against KU.
5. The value of waiting for three-point attempts
We only have one year's worth of data on Haley's site, but KU's numbers are fascinating when it comes to three-point percentage based on time remaining on the shot clock.
Take a look at the chart below.
After rebound
0-10 seconds into possession
After rebound
11-35 seconds into possession
After opp. score
0-10 seconds into possession
After opp. score
11-35 seconds into possession
After steal
0-10 seconds into possession
After steal
11-35 seconds into possession
After deadball TO
0-10 seconds into possession
After deadball TO
11-35 seconds into possession
If last year is any indication, KU would be smart to wait on three-pointers — especially after opponent turnovers.
The most shocking of the numbers above are that KU shot just 17 percent from three in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock after a steal (NCAA average was 36 percent), but 42 percent from three from in the final 25 seconds of the shot clock (NCAA average was 34 percent).
The same sort of trend held true after a dead-ball rebound. KU made quick threes 37 percent of the time and delayed threes 45 percent of the time (NCAA average was 34 percent on both).
In Self's quick ball movement offense, there appears to be a definite benefit to being patient before putting up a three-point attempt.

How we paid our home off in just nine years
and saved thousands doing it!
|Report an Error
Share via Email
There is an innovative product available that is changing the way Canadians think about mortgages. In fact, it's changing the way they think about banking in general.
Julie and James of Sarnia, Ontario said " getting it was the best financial decision we ever made!"
Mathew and Sylvia of Calgary, Alberta said "it simplified our financial lives, and dramatically accelerated the rate at which we were paying down our debt."
And Stephen of Vancouver, British Columbia said "it saved me $24,657 and enabled me to own my condo – years ahead of plan."
"It" is called Manulife One.
Originally, the Manulife One account was designed to help homeowners pay off their mortgages faster and own their homes sooner. However, it has quickly become popular not just among homeowners wanting to save big on their mortgages, but for anyone looking for flexibility and savings in their financial lives.
Most people think of Manulife One as a super mortgage, but it's really more than a mortgage. It's a mortgage, a line of credit, and a chequing account all rolled into one.
Here's how it works:
Manulife One lets you combine all your debts, including your mortgage, plus car loan, credit debt, etc. into one account and lower your interest costs at the same time. This alone could save you a significant amount of money, but that's just the beginning.
Manulife One also allows you to put your income and savings into the account so they are helping to pay down your debt instead of sitting idle, usually earning next to nothing in a low-interest chequing account.
This may not seem revolutionary, but it is. Combining your debts into one account and applying your income directly against that debt could save you thousands because all your available income can be used to reduce your debt.
Many people have saved tens of thousands of dollars in interest charges and paid off their mortgages years ahead of schedule, by doing nothing more than switching to the Manulife One Account.
Here's an example:
Let's say you have a $160,000 mortgage at 3.75%, a $15,000 car loan at 4% and an $8,000 line of credit at 5%. Plus you have $2,500 worth of savings in another account and excess monthly cash flow above your expenses of $1,500.
By transferring all these high-interest debts into the low-interest Manulife One Account at 3.5% [1] , plus depositing your savings and regular income into the account, you would save $40,450 in interest charges and be completely debt-free 11 years and 5 months sooner your current way of managing your finances!
Manulife One gives you flexibility when you make payments and how much they are, which is wonderful for people whose income fluctuates such as salespeople or small business owners.
Keep in mind, while the line of credit component is a huge benefit to people with fluctuating incomes, it does require a certain amount of discipline not to dip into the line when you don't need to.
The Manulife One site ( www.manulifeone.ca ) has a handy calculator that predicts how many years you can chop off your mortgage.
It's important to note that the Manulife One Account is available only through Manulife Bank. Others may claim to have an identical product, but may lack key features such as the ability to deposit your income directly to the account, divide your debt among fixed and variable accounts and enjoy the benefits of a high-interest chequing account once your debt is gone.
Let's leave the last word to Carol and Phillip of Pembroke, Ontario:
"We switched to a Manulife One Account almost two years ago. We have paid off so much of our current mortgage that we were able to purchase our dream house in a perfect neighborhood, while keeping our current house as a rental property. Our Manulife One Account has given us the ability to break free from conventional mortgages. With all the money we have saved, we are now facing a very bright financial future, and being mortgage-free by age 35 is a very distinct possibility!"
The best way to find out how much you could save is to call and discuss your situation with a Manulife One Banking Consultant. Good luck!

AT&T to Sell HTC One for Windows, Too

Sucks, because Windows isn't terrible, but Samsung and Apple have the market cornered. People actually think LG and HTC are different phones in it's entirety. I laugh and tell them it's like a Windows PC - you choose who the brand who assembles it is.
They honestly think the "Galaxy" is some special thing no other phone can have. It's amazing.

It's a full-scale assault! Police hunt teenage girl who slapped supermarket fish counter worker in the face with a large wet bream while a friend filmed her on his phone
- Shocked female victim, 52, was working at Asda in Accrington, Lancashire
- The teenager is said to have slapped her across the face without warning
- A teenage boy thought to be filming on his phone fled when approached
- Police released CCTV saying: 'This behaviour is completely unacceptable'
Police are hunting a teenage girl who slapped a supermarket worker across the face with a large wet bream in what may have been a childish dare.
The 52-year-old woman was working on an Asda fish counter in Accrington town centre, Lancashire, when the teenager approached her stall and asked about what was for sale.
Without warning the girl picked up a bream which was on ice and used it to assault the shocked worker before running out of the store.
Scroll down for video
Assault and vinegar: Police want to speak to these two people, seen in CCTV images, after a 52-year-old Asda fish counter employee was slapped in the face with a large wet bream in Accrington, Lancashire
Scene: The Asda supermarket in Accrington where the incident happened
It is believed a teenage boy was filming the incident on his phone and also fled the shop when he was challenged.
Police described the prank as 'completely unacceptable' and have issued CCTV images of two suspects.
The incident happened at about 3pm on Tuesday, February 4 and officers have asked for anyone who knows those in the images to come forward.
The girl is described as having an Irish accent and aged between 15 and 18 with blonde, shoulder-length untidy hair.
She was wearing dark jeans and a blue coat with white cuffs, white on the front and a red collar with 'I love PB' on the left breast pocket.
Fish and hits: The woman was hit in the face with a bream, which can grow to 40cm long (file photo)
The man is described as being around the same age, 5ft 8in and wearing a dark coat and dark grey trousers and boots.
PC Graham Hartley said: 'This behaviour is completely unacceptable and I would appeal to anybody that witnessed this incident or recognises either the man or the woman pictured in the CCTV images to come forward and contact me, PC 1183 Hartley on 101.'
The incident is an odd echo of sketches by Monty Python's Flying Circus - one of which featured a man in military uniform dancing on a canal towpath while slapping another man with a fish.
His fun is brought to an abrupt halt when the second man pulls out an enormous specimen and uses it to hit his aggressor around the head, knocking him into the water.
No laughing matter: The incident is reminiscent of the fish slapping dance in a sketch by Monty Python
The incident also has more serious echoes of 'happy slapping', a craze which took hold for a few years in the early 2000s when mobile phones were first equipped with video cameras.
Mostly performed by teenagers, the pranks involved slapping or hitting someone while being filmed and then uploading the footage to the internet.
Some took the prank too far and in 2008 a 15-year-old girl, who was too young to be named, was sentenced to a two-year detention and training order after filming an attack on 29-year-old victim Gavin Waterhouse, who later died.

This will allow Army units to take full advantage of the capabilities provided by their battlefield communications networks throughout all echelons, from battalion through theater commands. CACI's support services will include research and engineering development, prototyping, demonstrations, integration, fielding, and support for product/software, systems engineering, and logistics.CACI's broad-based, best-value C4ISR capabilities focus on quality and affordability, with solutions engineered for cost-effective deployment and sustainment across the lifecycle. John Mengucci, CACI's Chief Operating Officer and President of U.S. Operations, said, "This award supporting data products sustains CACI's established relationship with the U.S. Army's Product Director, Initialization. By supporting the Army's communications capabilities through all echelons, we enable our troops to more effectively fulfill their missions and return safely home." According to CACI President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Asbury, "Our extensive technical experience and mission understanding are important components in advancing the vital U.S. Army operations. This work directly aligns with a key objective of our customer to develop new and emerging network interoperability technologies and apply them to the battlefield."
