Sixers Rise and Jazz Surprise
Every season, teams will suffer losses that can be blamed on the schedule. Whether it be the fourth game in five nights or the second night of a back-to-back after a late arrival, there are nights when a team just doesn't have it. This season, there's going to be a lot more of those nights.
So every week, we're going to get game results that don't make much sense unless you take the schedule into account. This week, we saw the Magic lose in Detroit on the second night of a back-to-back and the red-hot Blazers get smoked in Phoenix a night after beating the Lakers.
But there is some hope for teams going through an intense part of their schedule. Teams playing on the third night of a back-to-back-to-back are now 6-0. And that may be the number that makes the least sense.
Despite missing three games from Dwyane Wade and one from LeBron James, the Miami Heat are the only team with just one loss, and they remain at the top of the rankings as they head west for the week. Next week, they'll host some heavy hitters, including the Philadelphia 76ers, who take the league's best offense and the league's best defense into a big game against the Pacers on Monday.
• Last week: No Surprise: Heat and Thunder Start Strong
• This time last year: Miami's run finally gets them to the top - The Heat had won 21 of their last 22 and 13 straight on the road, despite Earl Boykins' ability to hit a crazy shot after dribbling all over the court. The Knicks scored a Popovich-era-high 128 points against the Spurs in regulation, DeMarcus Cousins was averaging 21 points and nine rebounds over a six-game stretch, and the Cavs were 10 games into their 26-game losing streak.
Hero Team of the Week: Utah (4-0) - The Jazz swept a three-game homestand and then took their show on the road for a thrilling victory at Golden State.
Zero Team of the Week: Washington (0-4) - Losses to the Celtics, Magic and Knicks are explainable. Sunday's performance against the Timberwolves was definitely not.
Plus-minus Stud: Mario Chalmers (MIA) was a plus-65 in four games last week.
Plus-minus Dud: Brandon Jennings (MIL) was a minus-64 in five games last week.
High jumps of the week: Utah (+9), Philadelphia (+8), Phoenix (+7)
Free falls of the week: Golden State (-6), Milwaukee (-6), New York (-6)
East vs. West: The West is 16-14 (.533) against the East in inter-conference games this season and was 7-3 last week.
Pace: Possessions per 48 minutes (League Rank)
Off: Points scored per 100 possessions (League Rank)
Def: Points allowed per 100 possessions (League Rank)
The league is averaging 94.4 possessions (per team) per 48 minutes and 99.8 points scored per 100 possessions.

Miami (8-1)
Pace: 99.1 (2), Off: 105.9 (4), Def: 93.9 (2)
Three nights after losing to the Hawks at home at (mostly) full strength, the Heatles won in Atlanta without John and Paul. They lead the league in shooting percentage, but other than the first Atlanta game, their defense has been ridiculously strong and more aggressive than it was last season.
Previous: 1
Chicago (7-2)
Pace: 93.7 (19), Off: 103.1 (8), Def: 94.7 (4)
The vaunted Bulls defense got smoked in Atlanta on Saturday, but the offense has been worse without Rip Hamilton. When healthy, their starters have been one of the best offensive lineups in the league, scoring 113 points per 100 possessions in 99 minutes. All other Chicago lineups have scored just 100.
Previous: 3
Portland (6-2)
Pace: 98.1 (3), Off: 101.0 (14), Def: 94.9 (5)
Gerald Wallace's offense has come and gone, but his defensive impact has been huge. The Blazers have allowed just 89 points per 100 possessions in 263 minutes with him on the floor, compared to 109 in 121 minutes with him on the bench. Portland's improved D will host the Clippers' No. 2 offense Tuesday.
Previous: 5
Oklahoma City (8-2)
Pace: 94.5 (14), Off: 106.2 (3), Def: 102.8 (23)
Rookie Reggie Jackson has big shoes to fill. Eric Maynor, lost for the season with a torn ACL, was part of a bench crew that almost always pushed the scoreboard in the right direction for the Thunder. Even this season, Maynor had a better plus-minus mark than all of the OKC starters.
Previous: 2
San Antonio (6-3)
Pace: 94.1 (16), Off: 105.4 (5), Def: 103.4 (25)
The Spurs are on pace to go 33-33, because they're 6-0 at home and 0-3 on the road, where they've allowed opponents to shoot 53 percent. Richard Jefferson, who the Spurs were ready to amnesty in favor of Caron Butler, Grant Hill or Josh Howard, is playing better than all three, shooting 29-for-50 from 3-point range.
Previous: 4
Denver (6-3)
Pace: 100.1 (1), Off: 104.4 (6), Def: 95.4 (7)
The Nuggets didn't miss Nene the first two times he sat out, but then the Spurs shot 27-for-43 in the paint on Saturday. They also need him back (and he could return Monday) because Al Harrington isn't going to keep shooting 57 percent. Heat-Nuggets (Friday on ESPN) is one of the must watches of the week.
Previous: 7
Philadelphia (5-2)
Pace: 94.8 (13), Off: 106.6 (1), Def: 90.2 (1)
Raise your hand if you had the Sixers leading the league in offensive or defensive efficiency after 15 days. We'll see where they are after a back-to-back-to-back that starts Monday and includes two big Eastern Conference playoff-position games against the Pacers (at home) and Knicks (in New York).
Previous: 15
L.A. Lakers (6-4)
Pace: 94.2 (15), Off: 100.5 (15), Def: 96.3 (8)
Andrew Bynum shot 8-for-23 over the weekend, but he's looked terrific otherwise and is averaging almost 16 rebounds per game. With Matt Barnes also playing well, the Lakers' new starting lineup has been strong on both ends. The first LA-LA matchup of the regular season comes Saturday.
Previous: 8
Atlanta (6-3)
Pace: 91.8 (24), Off: 102.4 (11), Def: 95.3 (6)
Just nine games into the season, it's already clear that the Hawks will repeat as the Jekyll and Hyde Team of the Year. The last nine days were a roller coaster, but the highs (wins over Miami and Chicago) have been better than the lows (the loss in Houston and the triple-OT loss to the short-handed Heat).
Previous: 11
Indiana (6-2)
Pace: 92.8 (23), Off: 99.3 (16), Def: 94.7 (3)
The Pacers seemingly have a strong bench, but it hadn't really helped them build on leads until George Hill, Tyler Hansbrough and Jeff Foster gave them a big lift in Friday's win in Boston. The Indy starters had been dominant otherwise (plus-43 for the season), but were a minus-4 against the Celtics.
Previous: 12
Orlando (6-3)
Pace: 91.4 (25), Off: 103.5 (7), Def: 99.4 (15)
If the Magic can win with Dwight Howard scoring just five points, they might as well trade him now, right? Overall, they've been fine with Howard on the floor, but their starting lineup has been pretty awful defensively thus far. Swap Ryan Anderson for Glen Davis at the four and that lineup has been even worse.
Previous: 6
Boston (4-4)
Pace: 90.7 (29), Off: 103.1 (9), Def: 101.0 (19)
The Celtics are enjoying some time off, playing just one game in a six-day stretch. But when they get back to work, they have the Mavs, Bulls and Thunder visiting, with a revenge trip to Indiana mixed in there. On Friday, the Pacers shut down what had been an improved Boston offense with Paul Pierce back.
Previous: 10
L.A. Clippers (4-2)
Pace: 93.8 (18), Off: 106.5 (2), Def: 102.5 (21)
Blake Griffin ranks fifth in the league with 10.3 rebounds per game, but the Clips are a bottom-three rebounding team on both ends, having yet to out-rebound an opponent. This week will bring three big tests, as they visit Portland (7th) and then host the Heat (6th) and Lakers (1st), three top-10 rebounding teams.
Previous: 13
Dallas (4-5)
Pace: 95.3 (12), Off: 96.8 (24), Def: 100.7 (17)
The good news for the Mavs is that their offense has regressed a lot more than their defense, even when you compare it to the overall dropoff across the league, and their shots will eventually start falling. The offense came alive in Monday's big win over the Thunder, but was dreadful Thursday in San Antonio.
Previous: 19
New York (4-4)
Pace: 96.0 (8), Off: 101.6 (13), Def: 100.0 (16)
For Knicks fans, the joy of seeing Iman Shumpert in the starting lineup may have made up for the misery of losing to Toronto and Charlotte at home. It's amazing the impression the rookie made in just a few games. Or maybe it has more to do with Toney Douglas, who has missed his last 10 shots.
Previous: 9
Phoenix (4-4)
Pace: 93.3 (21), Off: 102.1 (12), Def: 97.7 (12)
Just when you were ready to write off the Suns, they come up with impressive blowouts over the Blazers and Bucks. A full season of Marcin Gortat in the middle will help their D, and rookie Markieff Morris has been huge. He picked up a double-double on Sunday and is now shooting 12-for-21 from 3-point range.
Previous: 23
Utah (5-3)
Pace: 93.7 (20), Off: 97.3 (19), Def: 99.3 (14)
None of their opponents were that good, but no one could have predicted that the Jazz would be the only team to win four games last week. They did it with defense, allowing just 91 points per 100 possessions. They're 5-3, but their two most-used lineups have been outscored by 43 points in 104 total minutes.
Previous: 26
Memphis (3-5)
Pace: 96.1 (7), Off: 93.9 (27), Def: 98.7 (13)
The Grizzlies' offense was anemic (86 points per 100 possessions) in Utah and L.A. over the weekend, so they should be happy to be home for four games. But the homestand includes visits from the Thunder, Knicks and Bulls. With Zach Randolph out, it might be time for Rudy Gay to put the offense on his back.
Previous: 20
Houston (2-6)
Pace: 93.9 (17), Off: 102.7 (10), Def: 108.1 (29)
It's too early to give up on the Rockets, who have had the toughest schedule in the league. It will lighten up a little now, but they still face the Spurs and Blazers this week. The two worst defenses in the league meet Tuesday in Charlotte. Getting Kyle Lowry back would help Houston on that end.
Previous: 14
Cleveland (4-4)
Pace: 95.6 (11), Off: 97.9 (18), Def: 97.0 (10)
The Cavs' defensive numbers are encouraging, and it certainly helps to have Anderson Varejao healthy. But the best offensive team they've faced thus far is the Blazers, who rank 14th. The first time Cleveland faces a team currently in the top 10 offensively will be in Game 14 against Chicago next Friday.
Previous: 24
Minnesota (3-5)
Pace: 96.4 (5), Off: 99.2 (17), Def: 96.6 (9)
After he put up 13 points, six rebounds and 14 assists in Sunday's win in Washington, is it time for Ricky Rubio to start? Their original starting lineup (Michael Beasley missed Sunday's game) has been awful defensively and the Wolves have led only three of their first eight games after the first quarter.
Previous: 18
Golden State (2-6)
Pace: 92.8 (22), Off: 97.3 (20), Def: 103.1 (24)
Five straight losses and more ankle issues for Stephen Curry will make you forget those early wins over the Bulls and Knicks. It's not clear that Kwame Brown is worth $7 million, but he's definitely helped the Warriors' defense, keeping Andrew Bynum and Al Jefferson in check over the weekend.
Previous: 16
Milwaukee (2-6)
Pace: 96.1 (6), Off: 95.4 (26), Def: 97.7 (11)
With Andrew Bogut (personal issue) and Mike Dunleavy (groin) out, the Bucks have dropped five straight. You might look from afar and wonder if Scott Skiles' influence is expiring, but his team has never been healthy in his four seasons in Milwaukee. Bogut will return for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Previous: 17
Toronto (3-5)
Pace: 90.9 (28), Off: 97.1 (21), Def: 101.3 (20)
After an impressive win in New York and an easy one over the Cavs, the Raptors fell apart. They couldn't stop the Nets and couldn't score against the Sixers. They play their one back-to-back-to-back set this week, and all three games are very winnable if they have the ability to bounce back from their ugly weekend.
Previous: 25
Sacramento (3-6)
Pace: 96.5 (4), Off: 97.0 (22), Def: 106.2 (27)
The early returns indicate that the Kings' offense is much improved (104 points per 100 possessions against two good defensive teams) under Keith Smart. The ball movement hasn't really increased though. They rank last in AST/FG ratio and assisted on just 32 of their 75 baskets in the two games.
Previous: 21
Detroit (2-6)
Pace: 90.3 (30), Off: 92.1 (29), Def: 106.1 (26)
When a good defensive coach meets a bad defensive team, something has to give. Lawrence Frank is currently losing the battle, but the Pistons have had one of the league's toughest schedules. It will ease up later this week when they face the Bucks, Bobcats and Warriors. But first, it's the Bulls and Mavs.
Previous: 27
New Orleans (2-6)
Pace: 91.0 (27), Off: 95.4 (25), Def: 101.0 (18)
Not a good week for Marco Belinelli, who shot 10-for-31 and played the role of matador when Vince Carter turned back the clock. More bad news for the Hornets: Eric Gordon will be out a while and the Wolves won twice. With six straight losses, the Hornets' lottery odds have improved, though.
Previous: 22
New Jersey (2-7)
Pace: 91.3 (26), Off: 93.1 (28), Def: 106.4 (28)
On Friday in Toronto, four players with the same last name took the floor as teammates for the first time in NBA history, and the four Williams (Deron, Shelden, Shawne, and Jordan) were a minus-one in 45 seconds together. None of the four have played particularly well this season, though Shelden probably deserves Shawne's extra 'e' for his effort.
Previous: 28
Charlotte (2-6)
Pace: 95.9 (9), Off: 96.9 (23), Def: 108.7 (30)
The Bobcats might be drooling at the thought of playing at Madison Square Garden again on Monday. On Wednesday, they lit up the Garden for 118 points after scoring less than a point per possession in each of their first five games. A night after visiting MSG again, they get a shot at the Rockets' awful defense.
Previous: 29
Washington (0-8)
Pace: 95.6 (10), Off: 88.4 (30), Def: 102.7 (22)
After witnessing them getting blown out by the Wolves at home, it's time to really wonder when the Wizards are going to win a game, as well as how Flip Saunders still has hair. Tuesday against Toronto looks promising, but some Wizards will need to learn how to pass the ball between now and then.

One Direction Zumba – The Next Big Thing? :)
Who can believe it, there's just 1 WEEK to go until One Direction get back on the touring scene, with a massive gig at London's O2 Arena.
To get in shape for their gruelling schedule, the lads have apparently taken up Zumba classes in order to get fit.
Harold, Zaine, Paynis, Louisa and Niallo have been taking part in early morning sessions, and a source told The Sun:
"The lads are not natural movers so them dancing to Latin music is a sight to behold. But they know it's good for fitness, so they're putting in the work."
As well as bit of Zumba, they're also indulging in a few spinning classes – as well as being told by Modest Management to calm down their late nights and partying.
Poor lads.
It was only last November when Liam dropped a MacBook on his toe, and with both Niall and Zayn also having been on crutches the whole lot of them need to make sure they're in tip-top condition.
#1DWORLDTOUR – not long to go now!!!

AUSTIN (June 27, 2014) The Texas Department of Public Safety launched an 11-day effort Friday to get drunken drivers off the road.
Texas state troopers will be out in force through July 7, focused on areas where alcohol-related crashes occur most often.
"During the holiday, DPS troopers will be performing increased patrols aimed at protecting all travelers and removing dangerous drivers from the road," DPS Director Steven McCraw said.
The stepped-up effort funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation led to 1,124 DWI arrests during last year's Fourth of July enforcement period.
Troopers also arrested 720 fugitives, made 602 felony arrests, issued more than 15,700 speeding tickets and about 2,400 seat belt or child safety seat citations.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After spending five days with family and friends for the Christmas holiday, the Mississippi State football team reconvened in Memphis on Thursday afternoon to kick off its AutoZone Liberty Bowl week.
The Hotel ...
The team hotel for this week's bowl trip is The Peabody Memphis, located in the heart of the city. The hotel was built by Colonel Robert C. Brinkley in 1869 and named for his good friend, philanthropist George Peabody.
The Peabody has been inducted into the prestigious Preferred Hotel Group and has received four stars from Forbes and four diamonds from AAA.
Among the highlights of the hotel are the Peabody Ducks. For 80 years, the marble fountain in the hotel lobby has been occupied by the ducks, which march into the fountain at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.
What started out as a joke by the general manager of The Peabody and his good friend in the 1930s, involving placing duck decoys in the fountain, has become a must-see tradition in Memphis. Among those who have visited the duck march are Michael Jordan, Nicholas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Don King, President Jimmy Carter, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Justin Timberlake and Oprah Winfrey. For more on the tradition of the Peabody Ducks, click here.
First Practice ...
After eating a lunch buffet of chicken sandwiches and cheeseburgers upon arrival at The Peabody, the players went through a one-hour team meeting and then departed for practice around 4 p.m.
This week's bowl workouts are taking place at Rhodes College in Memphis. The team spent the first 45 minutes of the practice outside before moving indoors for the final 45 minutes. Each position group used the time on the field to go through a series of drills before the inside session focused more on team-on-team work.
Looking Ahead ...
Friday morning, members of the team will visit St. Jude Children's Hospital. In the afternoon, the team will conduct its second practice in Memphis before wrapping up the day with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl Welcome Party at AutoZone Park, home of the Memphis Redbirds, the AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.

You've heard the war cry of fixing our broken immigration system so often it has become as ubiquitous as the Karashian's and about as annoying. But is it broken and can we find evidence to back up that claim? To find out the truth was must look at immigration past. Whatever our conclusions we should review past efforts to fix the system and their results.
When speaking of past immigration the first things that come to mind are the US Mexican border and Ellis Island. Since numbers across the Rio Grande are not reliable we need to look to the gateway for immigrants, Ellis Island. In operation from 1892 thru 1954, twelve million immigrants entered legally past the Statue of Liberty and thru Ellis Island (Ellis Island). At the year of its closure this represented 8% of the US population. Today according to the US census there are 41.7 million foreign born living and working in America. This represents 13% of today's population. It is estimated 28% of those 41.7 are here illegally (Census). Just in raw numbers that is four times the amount in almost the same amount of time. How is this broken?
Now we should look at efforts to repair the system that allows so many to enter the country. The most comprehensive change in immigration policies was the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. (Hart-Cellar Act) This act opened up what is referred to as chain immigration. Before this bill legal immigrants could only sponsor members of their nuclear family. (Wife, husband under age children) This act now permitted siblings, parents, and adult children. This bill also reset the quotes to favor immigrants from South America and Asia. This act was championed by Ted Kennedy and his brother Robert. Ted, in defense of the bill stated "The bill will not upset the ethnic mix of our society". Robert Kennedy added "Set to rest any fears that this bill will change the ethnic, political or economic make-up of the US". Lyndon Johnson when he signed it assured Americans "It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives". This was all prior to "Press one for English" and Telemundo was required for basic cable. Also before Robert Kennedy was assassinated by an immigrant Palestinian who INS labeled "Asian" and would be a dreamer today since he entered the country at age 12. (Sirhan Bishara Sirhan)
The Hart-Cellar act just wasn't enough so in the seventies refugee programs were added, the 1986 blanket amnesty which was in exchange for closing the borders, and the 1990 immigration act. Even handing out citizenship like lollypops at the border wasn't enough to repair the system. So in 1994 there was temporary rolling amnesty (245i), extended in 1997 and for the 400,000 who missed the 1986 deadline covered in 2000. That same year the Life Act picked up another 900,000.
Now we know the history of our broken immigration system should we entrust the fix to the same people that tried so many times before? The same people that while preventing citizens from knowing the truth are advertising that 90% of illegal's will never be asked to leave? The same Department of Homeland Security that now transports abandoned children to questionable families will secure our borders? If not our elected officials, who will protect us from this invasion? It would seem apparent to every informed person currently residing in these United States we don't need any more bills, Acts, or laws. What we need is elected officials that will follow the existing laws, make good broken promises, or get the hell out!

Live Coverage
Tour de France 2013 Stage 2
Live team coverage of stage 2 at the 100th Tour de France
This descent is wide-open, high-speed, and the surface looks pretty smooth.
The three-man Peraud chase is up in the rear seat of the TV motor. Time to move that camera.
New Swiss champion Michael Schär isn't interested in leading the bunch for BMC as Sky pulls off. Sure enough, Cannondale pulls through. Sagan is here.
The bunch is rolling at 70 kph.
The gap is down to 24 seconds.
And now it's down to 18 seconds.
By their usual measure, it's been very successful for the Europcar boys today.
Rolland is second-guessing a lot of lines here. No close calls yet, but somewhere, Vincenzo Nibali is wincing at it. #TdFby Cyclocosm via twitter 6/30/2013 2:28:04 PM
Rolland is back in the bunch. All together now at the front, led by Cannondale. Kittel group is 6:30 back with 45km to go.
B&N, as Paul just pointed out, the sprinters' chance of a yellow is doomed for years. Or is it? Do you think there's any chance that ASO will realize the sprinters are among the most popular riders in the world and tweak the 2014 or 2015 first stage route to allow for a sprint finish?
It's good to see Ted King pushing the pace at the head of the bunch. The American is in his first Tour de France, working for Peter Sagan.
Velo reporter Matthew Beaudin talked to King about his new, trimmed-down look at the Amgen Tour.
"So yes, I don't think it's just appearance," said King. "Yes, I am leaner for sure. I came here after a really good spring. I came here after really good, focused training in Colorado. And it's all about discipline. I like food too much to make this just a mistake, if that makes any sense."
Read more >>
The maillot jaune group has sat up completely. Kittel, Cavendish and co. are approaching 10 minutes.
BMC Racing has taken up the front of the bunch, no doubt working for Philippe Gilbert. This finale has the Belgian's name written all over it.
I've seen a lot of France on TV over the years. Corsica has to be the most beautiful TdF setting ever. What took them so long to get here?
Two Americans, Ted King and Brent Bookwalter, have been getting their noses in the wind today. At the back of the peloton, another of their countryman, Andrew Talansky has a chat with a teammate.
Sky and BMC each have five riders behind the lone Cannondale man on front. Sagan is lined up a little way back, ahead of Chavanel and Omega Pharma.
Just how big is the whole TdF "caravan"? Cyclists, team support, journalists, officials, etc. Not including fans.
With 32km to go, the gap back to the maillot jaune group is above 7 minutes.
What a showdown this will be: Sagan, Gilbert, Chavanel, Martin, Boasson Hagen
Lotta gauze in this peloton after just one day of racing. Alberto Contador sporting a bandage on his left elbow, and I know he hurt his shoulder even worse.
For Teddy to be up front and in the wind is a great sign. Sounded like he'd been given an easy day by the team.
Ag2r La Mondiale has another bike change. Peraud likely getting back on his #1 bike.
There is a ferry boat to take journalists to the finish line, 10km from the press room. Here is the map provided, to find the ferry...
Hurry up and wait. Cannondale continues to lead the bunch toward the final climb, the Cat. 3 Côte du Salario. The climb is 1km at 8.9% and tops out 11km from the finish in Ajaccio.
Just jumping back into chat ... Tim, how much energy does it burn to chase back like the Ag2r boys are having to do to get Peraud back on the peloton?
Good to see Andy Schleck making it through these first few stages in good position; he's had a hell of a rough year ... big question will be if he has the depth to go the distance to make a real run for the podium
Yellow, polka-dot and white jerseys are all 8mins+ from leaders ... podium girls will be kissing some new faces today
@Hoody Peraud is prob the clear leader for the team and if he were to lose time today, it would undermine the entire 3 weeks. With the speed high upfront, it's critical they get back on. The amount of energy spent isn't as important as whether or not he's still in amongst the others.
A couple guys swapping off for 20-30mins will hurt. But, it's the Tour.
Is that the Orica 4x4 next to the peloton right there?
With 21km to go, we're still together at the front. The maillot jaune group is 8:51 back.
Where's cavendish?

Napoleon sure picked a nice place to be born: Corsica is amazing ...
There's a museum in his honor here in Ajaccio, actually.
Interesting, from LeTour.fr: For now, the virtual leader of the Tour de France is David Millar. He was fourth in stage one and all those who finished ahead of him are in a group that has already lost over eight minutes... and that deficit is growing.
Sky, Sojasun, Europcar are working at the front of the peloton. The final climb is under 4km away.
Also picked a good spot to be exiled. What the cameras have shown of Elba is pretty nice.
Cheers to no time bonuses! - Millar
Interesting position for Millar - love him or hate him, I respect him for what he's done for the sport since his comeback, and he's a class rider
The final climb is just 1km long, and the top is 12km from the finish.
Not all historical roses here, though. There were French jails here for quite some time in the 18-19th centuries which were notorious for killing most of their inhabitants. Three out of four inmates never came out, mostly due to mosquito-born diseases like malaria, according to a tour guide I spoke with earlier in the week. The jails then moved to Guyana.
The climb really has a Belgian classic feel to it.

I've know Eddie Frager, 3rd dan, for a number of years now and have written about him before here. He is one of the Founding Instructors of the Western Aikido Association. His dojo in Portland is thriving and directly affects a wide circle of people through their various classes and community events.
This article focuses on his kids' program which along with Low Impact Aikido classes should be the heart of any dojo's curriculum.
So here are my questions and Eddie's great answers:
Q: What is your core philosophy behind teaching the kid's classes?
Life throws us challenges every day. Children need to learn how to deal with these conflicts in a positive and non-violent manner. Conflict resolution and controlling aggression are the base for developing good self-confidence and control. Children learn the physical techniques that help them deal with physical, verbal or emotion challenges.
At Bridgetown Aikido, we have classes for 4-7 year old and 7 year old and up. I approach each age group with different goals and strive to inspire self-esteem in every child. I create a safe environment so that each child will get the maximum benefit from my practical and fun approach. Children learn through movement, so I blend mindfulness, compassion for oneself and others with lots of activity. One of my basic principles is If it isn't fun for me, it certainly won't be fun for them. I look forward to each class and truly love what I do.
Q: I imagine this is fun and challenging-- both at the same time. What has been the most fun? And what has been your greatest challenge?
I gave up a highly successful career as a commercial real estate broker, and decided to completely change my life in order to be of greater service to the community. I am a full-time Aikido teacher. The greatest challenge has been developing a program for kids that is both serious, practical and enjoyable. Many dojos do not teach children or don't do it well, because teaching Aikido to children is really difficult. Our techniques are complicated; co-ordination of mind, body and spirit is a big challenge to get through to adults much less kids. So, I break it down into small bites that they use in the dojo and can take off the mat and use at home or out in the larger world. I say I wish I could do magic, and fix every child's confidence and behavior issues – I can't. But we makea pact between the dojo and each family to work together using tools that I teach to improve control, confidence and attitude.
A small example is my students come from all walks of life, but when they are in their keiko-gis (uniforms) they are all equal and always treat each other with respect and kindness. So I suppose the greatest joy is also the greatest challenge, in constantly moving, learning, enjoying the time we spend together and being grateful.
Q: Do you integrate games as part of your teaching?
I do not play "games" with my kids. We do Aikido "exercises" that encourage team work, cooperation, where everyone wins. This is usually done at the end of the class. During a typical class we work on Kihon Waza (Basic Techniques) and body movement. My older kids do many Advanced Aikido techniques, such as koshi-waza and shihonage, always in a safe controlled environment. Many Aikido teachers have told me they will not teach these kinds of techniques to children. I have very high expectations of my kids, and they constantly amaze me at reaching and even in many cases exceeding my expectations of them.
Q: Do the parents stick around and watch the classes? What have their observations been?
I have space inside the dojo for parents to watch their children take class, and a separate waiting area that is away from the mat. Sometimes it is better not to have have parents in the dojo when I am teaching as it is a distraction for the child, and other times it is very beneficial to have a parent present for the child, especially if they are shy or introverted. What I do stress is that when the kids are in class with me, they need to focus and be present with me and their "friends", fellow students in class. So, if a parent is a distraction we can always have them move into the waiting room.
One of the most interesting classes I teach is our Family Aikido Class, where a parent actually takes class with their child. They are partners for the whole hour and it has been a hit since the beginning. My idea for this class came from my memory of taking class with my Dad (Robert Frager Sensei 7th degree black belt) when I was young. Back then there were no kids classes, so I would just train with the adults. It was a wonderful bonding experience for us. Aikido more than 35 years later is still a strong bond between my Dad and me. This is what one of my Family Aikido Class parents has written about his experience;
"Thanks for everything over the past year! Aikido has been the best thing that we have ever done as a father and son together. Just wanted you to know I really appreciate it."
Q: How have you adapted the tests for the kids? What kyu test do you start with? And do you see the kids moving into teenage/adult rankings?
We do kid's Kyu testing quarterly. The kids love frequent promotions, even though some find testing difficult. And it is a wonderful way to help them develop greater self-confidence. I have developed a Kyu system for kids from 10th Kyu to 1st Kyu. I require a fairly rigorous knowledge of Aikido techniques, as kids move into the higher Kyu ranks they start to learn advanced techniques. This would translate as they come into Adult classes as a Adult 3rd Kyu or so. The way that I have structured the ranking systems, it builds a solid foundation in Aikido. I remind all of my students, that I can at any time during a test ask them to perform a technique that was on any previous test that they have taken. In this way, they do not only train for the test – but train to learn the basic skills required to improve and advance.
Q: And what are your long-term goals for the kid's classes at Bridgetown Aikido?
I started Bridgetown Aikido children's program to teach the spiritual and philosophical principles and martial practices of Aikido. I constantly remind them that Aikido practice is based on non-competition and nonviolence. Aikido develops our capacity to remain centered, calm, balanced and focused—under the challenges and stresses of our little ones busier and busier daily lives.
I believe strongly in the ideals of the Founder of Aikido. According to the Founder the first aim of Aikido is to develop ourselves as human beings; the higher aim is to use our energies and capacities to work for greater peace within ourselves, our families, and our community. What more could we ask from our children?

Why Snacking is Good For You
Guest Article Written By: Virginia Cunningham It is not even midday and you are feeling that mid morning slump. Your energy is low, your concentration is… what concentration?… and you are honestly just counting down the minutes until it is lunchtime. The reality is, food is not only supposed to be eaten for its tastiness (although that is a very good reason to eat food), but also to keep you going! Food is fuel. Our bodies need fuel and it is okay that our bodies need fuel every few hours to get through the day. In fact, snacking in between meals has … Read More

4 Keys to a Healthy Snack
When snack time hits, it can be hard to tell what's healthy and what's not. What criteria should we use to find "gold" among the nutritionally-bankrupt "garbage" that rules the snack aisle? Lists of "The Best Healthy Snacks" are unhelpful. Healthy choices just aren't that simple. The ability to make healthy snack choices must be learned. We (and our kids) need to understand why certain snacks are better for our bodies. Knowing the components of a healthy snack enables us to choose snacks creatively without compromising nutrition. Serving Size – Check the serving size first! Good snack choices … Read More
Helping our Kids Choose Healthy Snacks
As parents, we all want to encourage our children to embrace healthy habits that will prepare them for a lifetime of wellness. With childhood obesity continuing to rise, it's more critical than ever that kids learn to be healthy and consciously make choices that are good for their bodies. Recent studies have shown that unhealthy snacking habits are one of the primary culprits in childhood obesity. The problem is not so much the "junk snacks" that are prominent in school cafeterias, television commercials, and vending machines as the quantity of snacks consumed. Many children are snacking so frequently that researcher … Read More

America Loves to Snack – 5 Reasons Why You Should Too!
The days of super-sized meals have come and gone and colossal entrees are rapidly being replaced by pint-sized culinary creations. From fine dining to McDonalds, snacks are the hottest items on every menu. Menu items including the word "snack" have grown 170% since 2007. McDonalds has expanded its line of snack wraps, Starbucks now offers button-sized petite cookies, and Dairy Queen is mixing up mini blizzards. Some trend-watchers say the sudden popularity of snacks is just a passing fad, driven by an American obsession with all things miniature. However, it is more likely that this change reflects that Americans are … Read More

Are you having trouble connecting your Surface to your iPhone's hotspot? Well it does connect. But you need to make some changes to your iPhone. By default, your iPhone names your phone your_name's phone. So my iPhone is called Vaibhav's iPhone. That apostrophe is what throws the spanner in the works for the Surface. So, it is a simple fix.
Go to your iPhone's Settings, General, About, and Name. Change your phone's name so that it doesn't have any special characters in it (I didn't test whether it works with a space in the name). Save, and bam, it now works.
Why Microsoft doesn't support it? No idea. Based on what I understand the standard for naming Wifi SSID allows an apostrophe in the name.

I personally carry OC in addition to my G27 and defensive knife. Pepper spray is an viable self-defense product and is used by nearly every law enforcement agency throughout the country. It is non-lethal and can be effective when sprayed in the facial area and eyes. It can give you time to escape and seek help. Additionally pepper spray is very inexpensive, and is not typically restricted by law, and generally a permit is not required to carry them.
Still, you should be aware of its limitations, so you do not rely on just one form of defense. Pepper spray may take a few second for it to be effective. And for some it may not be effective and an attacker may be able to reach you before the effects kick in. Wind and rain may reduce its range and effectiveness and you may get spray-back when sprayed against strong wind or in an enclosed area.
My question is, for those of you that have decided to carry a non-lethal (less than lethal) alternative, such as a batton, taser, etc what and why did you choose that tool?

Lord Mayor's carriage breaks down during parade
18:30 12 November 2012
The Lord Mayor's Show was a roaring success, as thousands of people lined the City of London's chilly streets for the annual ceremony.
But the event almost hit the skids after the main attraction suffered a break down on its return journey from the Royal Courts of Justice, it has emerged.
New Lord Mayor Roger Gifford was escorted home separately after the setback.
The 254-year-old gold plated carriage suffered a fault and had to be recovered in Great Queens Street.
A spokesman for the City of London Corporation said specialists were working to fix the vehicle before it could be returned to its regular home at the Museum of London.
He said: "The carriage suffered a breakdown on the return journey from the Royal Courts of Justice to Mansion House.
"The new Lord Mayor, who took office on Saturday, was taken safely home to Mansion House - where he now lives for the year - by the pageant master Dominic Reid."
More than 6,500 people, 22 marching bands, 125 horses, 18 vintage cars, 21 carriages, an original American stagecoach, a Japanese Taiko drum band, a steamroller, a boat, a Sherman tank, performed in Saturday's parade.

I'm currently taking a look at the Teenage Engineering OP-1 synth -we've got one in for review and I am having a lot of fun with it. The instrument is surprisingly deep and flexible and pretty compelling - are my first thoughts. I also introduced it on this week's Sonic TALK podcast (229) - there's a video of the show here.
As ever, please hit me with any questions you want answered in the review via comments below or via Twitter @sonicnick.
While researching, I came across the unofficial OP-1 Forums : ohpeewon.com - worth a look for those either trying to get tips and trick on usage or research whether to buy one.
In fact, just posted there this very morning was news of a project made with the OP-1 by forum user Molotov under the name Duke Slammer.
So since buying my OP-1 (first post-beta batch) I've been posting up tunes here and there in this fine forum. I have found the OP-1 such an really inspiring box to work with, so much so I decided to make up a new project based solely around using the OP-1 as the main sequencer/recorder, replacing Ableton in this instance.
The album is all pretty much funk/beats/electro tracks and every track is recorded in album mode on the OP-1. Some of the sounds are from external synths like the minimoog, recorded in live as well as samples from vinyl.

mmm I much prefer the Monomachine

My question: is it possible to get tight / quantised timing ? Like a step sequencer would do? All the demos i heard have sloppy timing.
13-Aug-11 03:54 AM
Agreed. Every time I'm nearly seduced in to buying an OP-1 I hear a demo produced with the keyboard and the spell is broken. And "sloppy timing" isn't synonymous with "funky" and "groove".
13-Aug-11 01:27 PM
for the price of this you could buy an akai s2ooo and some synths and you could do it properly. Its a joke really!!!

yes, it has pattern sequencer, tombola sequencer and endless sequencer.

Experiment Description
Research Overview
- The goal of NanoRacks-Valley Christian High School-Bacillus Subtilis Bacteria Growth (NanoRacks-VCHS-B. Subtilis) is to suspend and reanimate the bacteria, Bacillus subtillus, in space and analyze its potential usefulness in disposing of hazardous waste. Through this experiment, a bacteria-sustaining broth is created, as well as, a method to prompt the bacteria to hibernate.
- Research is important for understanding concepts and reviewing background information concerning the experiments. NanoRacks-VCHS-B. Subtilis research and insight on bacteria help experimenters design future projects, specifically with future partner schools Valley Christian High School is teaming up with.
- NanoRacks-VCHS-B. Subtilis research is used to increase the general public's knowledge and to bring space research to a high school level. The research will also help future schools replicate the experiment and perform their own unique projects.
NanoRacks-Valley Christian High School-Bacillus Subtilis Bacteria Growth (NanoRacks-VCHS-B. Subtilis) examines the growth of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) in microgravity. The bacteria are in dried stasis endospore mode (powder) in a bag, allowing the bacteria to survive in its dormant state until it reaches the International Space Station (ISS). Once aboard the ISS, the bacteria are invigorated by a nutrient enriched broth, which causes it to grow. The growth rate of the bacteria is determined by using two methods. First, using three light sensors, the amount of light from twelve LEDs that passed through the bacteria and broth mixture is measured. As more bacteria grow within the broth, less light is able to penetrate the bacterial broth. This is due to the accumulating bacteria eventually clouding the mixture. The second method utilized is to take a series of photos from a mounted camera within the Microlab. These pictures provide a qualitative depiction of the cloudy broth and bacterial colony.
Space Applications
In order to ensure crew health during space flight and long duration missions, an understanding of how bacteria behave in microgravity leads to better prevention and treatment of infections.
Earth Applications
NanoRacks-VCHS-B. Subtilis allows students at Valley Christian High School to participate in an out of this world experiment to determine how microgravity affects the growth of bacteria. A better understanding of bacterial behavior on earth is accomplished by studying the fundamental properties of bacterial growth in microgravity.
Operational Requirements and Protocols
NanoRacks Module-18 is completely autonomous and only requires installation and removal. NanoRacks Module–18 does not return to earth.
Crew interaction with Module-18 is limited to transferring the NanoRacks locker Insert from the launch vehicle to the ISS, installation and activation of the NanoRacks Frames into the EXPRESS Rack Locker, cleaning of the air inlet filter (as necessary), and data retrieval (as needed) during the mission.

Spatial skills are a central component of intellect and show marked individual differences. There is evidence that variations in the spatial language young children hear, which directs their attention to important aspects of the spatial environment, may be one of the mechanisms that contributes to these differences. To investigate how play affects variations in language, parents and children were assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: free play with blocks, guided play, or play with preassembled structures (Study 1). Parents in the guided play condition produced significantly higher proportions of spatial talk than parents in the other two conditions, and children in the guided play condition produced significantly more spatial talk than those in the free play condition. Study 2 established baselines of spatial language during activities not involving spatial materials. Proportions of spatial words were lower than those in any of the conditions of Experiment 1. In sum, interaction with blocks naturally elicits elevated levels of spatial language, especially in the context of guided play, suggesting simple-to-execute educational interventions.

Item has a Minimum Qty
The Side Stripe Signature Racing Brief has a contoured fit for all your water activities.
The cut of the suit is going to vary depending on the size ordered. It should be between 2"-3". The back of the suit should fit snug, there should be no sag in the back. The suit in the front should fit like a suit and not a jock.
Answered by SwimOutlet.com on 10/27/2015
Fits like an actual brief
Only swim brief I have ever worn that accommodates the frontal region instead of strangling it. The lined pouch makes it comfortable to be in all day. Does not expand in water and the waistband holds tight without bunching. Durable and high quality material. A little saggy in the rear, but overall best swim brief out there.

good fit nice style
I am a daily swimmer and rotate this suit with others. The fit is good and will probably hold up well as I have switched from chlorinated pools to natural spring, pool swimming.
Austin Texas
I am not sure the Sauvage suits are all that well sewn together, or how long they will last. For looking good, however, they are remarkable. On a wearer with a tolerably good physique, this suit makes a fine show of masculinity.

I purchased this same swim suite 10 years ago. Absolutely love it, true fit and size. This suite actually fits comfortably and allows for enough room in the front unlike all the others being made these days. This suite has the right amount of space and flexibility, could not be happier.

Best fitting brief I have ever bought . The way the front of the suit is cut makes all the difference from the rest . Yes I will buy these again.

Since 1985, Simon & Elizabeth Southwood have been growing a swimwear culture known simply as Sauvage. Elizabeth was born to a seamstress and has never looked back at her passion for apparel design. She and her boyfriend at the time, Simon Southwood, had a friend who needed some swim trunks for an upcoming vacation. Elizabeth offered to make him a swimsuit solely for the joy of making it. However he insisted on purchasing it. In that moment Simon had an epiphany, seeing a business opportunity to showcase Elizabeth's inspirations, and a men's swimwear line was born. Selling a small new men's line in Southern California quickly blossomed into a women's line being added to the mix, and both being sold worldwide. A family business since its inception, Sauvage is still headed by Simon & Elizabeth who continue to work tirelessly. Their son has grown into the business, sharing his passion for apparel, graphic design, and pride in Sauvage swimwear.
High quality standards and attention to detail make the Sauvage collections stand apart. Luxe-Sauvage is a resort style collection, unique prints featuring luxury cover-ups. Sauvage is fashion forward, sexy & always glamorous, always on trend, and features gorgeous Swarovski crystals - the best in the world. The Men's collection features European style swim trunks and most modern board shorts.
Every facet of the product development is handled at the Sauvage Headquarters in San Diego, CA. The process starts with an inspiration, goes through design, testing, and manufacturing here in their facility. Finished goods are then marketed, sold, and shipped under the same roof. Over time, Sauvage has found the only way to produce a product with integrity is to handle the entire process, setting them apart in this day and age.

Roloson keeps Sharks at bay
Before the teams skated out, Jeremy Roenick's boy was out on the empty ice in his sneakers firing pucks at the empty net in his Sharks' jersey, a prelude to the father-son game.
Before the teams skated out, Jeremy Roenick's boy was out on the empty ice in his sneakers firing pucks at the empty net in his Sharks' jersey, a prelude to the father-son game.
The Sharks, who'd chewed up one and all at The Tank, with 29 of of a possible 30 points in 15 home games, losing in overtime on a 57-shot blitz at Nashville Predators goalie Dan Ellis, manhandled the Edmonton Oilers, too, on Saturday. But they ran into Dwayne (I Am Wall) Roloson.
With his team in full retreat mode for almost the entire 63 minutes, Roloson was the one and only reason they somehow beat the Sharks 3-2 in OT. Roloson made 41 stops, then jumped in the air at the other end when Kyle Brodziak sent the puck off Christian Ehrhoff's skate and behind Evgeni Nabokov to end the Sharks' nine-game winning streak.
Brodziak was on the ice on a four-on-three with Patrick Marleau in the penalty box for a hook on Gilbert Brule, who'd just been called up from Springfield.
After the morning skate, Oilers coach Craig MacTavish said it would be "a great test" playing the Sharks, who were were 14-0-1 at The Tank. It was an awfully one-sided yardstick game as the Sharks toyed with the Oilers for long stretches. But somehow it was 2-2 heading to the third because Roloson stood on his head in a replay of the last time the clubs played here in March, when he made 48 saves in a 2-1 Edmonton shootout win.
Roloson stoically kept the Oilers in the game through the first 40 minutes as they were outshot 31-10.
Afer Dan Boyle's fluke score in the dying seconds of the first, Roloson was absolutely helpless on Roenick's goal on his doorstep. Three Oilers kept fishing for the puck, as if they had their poles in the water, refusing to knock anybody on their backside. Roenick had a tap-in.
The Oilers, who only had one shot in the first but scored on Ales Hemsky's bullet on Evgeni Nabokov, snuck another one past Nabokov on a delayed penalty late in the second, with Dustin Penner tipping one home on a power play.
Sheldon Souray's blast broke Milan Michalek's stick and, when Michalek knocked the puck free with his shattered stick, he drew another penalty. Michalek was at Souray's mercy on the ensuing 45-footer that Penner deflected for his fourth goal in the last eight games.
Hemsky's goal nine minutes into the first proved that sometimes it's quality over quantity, because the Sharks had 16 on Roloson and each team got a goal. Nabokov tied an NHL record for fewest saves in a period: zero.
Hemsky serpentined his way into the Sharks end and ripped a 25-footer off the post and in, extending his point streak to eight games. But that was about the only time the Oilers got the puck into the San Jose end but for a couple of icings. They only had seven shots in the general vicinity of Nabokov, five going well wide and one blocked by former Oiler Alexei Semenov.
At the other end, Roloson had to be Gumby to keep it from being 6-1 as the Sharks poured into his end like shoppers on Boxing Day. They fired 28 shots at net (16 on, seven blocked, five wide) but needed a gift from the heavens on a power play with six seconds left in the first period.
Boyle's prayer from the corner somehow snuck under Roloson's pad and dribbled into the net to tie it. It was a thoroughly one-sided period, with the Sharks doing something they never used to do: shoot, shoot, shoot.
The Sharks have had 11 games this season with at least 40 shots, and are averaging over 36 a night under new coach Todd McLellan, who comes from shot-happy Detroit.
"Todd's given us the green light to be more creative and make plays and shoot. We've got out of the mould of dump-and-chase. We've always been a big team, more on the cycle, and we've gotten away from that," said Sharks assistant captain Mike Grier.

There were quirky touches to Peaches' big day, as her eight-month old-puppy was ring bearer and the cake featured edible pigs.
16:52, UK, Tuesday 11 September 2012
Peaches Geldof has been speaking about tying the knot with her indie musician boyfriend Thomas Cohen at the weekend.
The couple held their wedding in the same spot where her mother's marriage and funeral took place - St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent.
Geldof said she believed her late mother Paula Yates was watching over her at the ceremony.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, she said it was her "most amazing day".
The new bride posed for a photo for the magazine along with Cohen, the couple's five-month-old son Astala and her proud father, the musician and campaigner Bob Geldof.
Geldof and Cohen celebrated their marriage at her father's country home, Davington Priory, in a reception described as a "country wedding meets Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream" .
Geldof spoke openly about the impact her mother had on her wedding day.
Wearing a custom-made Alberta Ferretti gown, she said of Yates: "I feel her presence all the time, but especially today. Mum loved family celebrations and she would adore Tom and the fact that we've married here.
"I know that she is watching over me and feeling so happy for us."
Yates died in 2000 following a drug overdose.
Geldof, who also wore two more designer gowns during the day, was previously married to US singer Max Drummey in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2008, but they split the following year.
Bob Geldof said it was a "relief" to see his daughter married. Peaches had seven bridesmaids including her sisters Fifi, 29, Pixie, 21 and Tiger, 16.

Everytime I log into SSH, I have to manually source the bashrc file to set my path variables the way I want to. How do I have bash do it automatically? Shouldn't it be automatic?
There is the
If it doesn't work for you, you either use a wrong filename (missing "." from beginning?), or you don't use bash as your shell. In the latter case, try
You should also know about $BASH_ENV .
What files are read by bash when it starts up depends on if the session is interactive or not. Occasionally there can be an issue where it's not clear if the session is interactive. So besides ~/.bashrc you might want to also export and set variable BASH_ENV to point to a file containing the PATH and other settings that you need. BASH_ENV can be set to point to your .bashrc file (sometimes it's .bash_rc) so long as there are no interactive commands in there (to be safe use a separate file, say ~/.bash_env). From the bash man pages:
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.
When bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in the environment, expands its value if it appears there, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute. Bash behaves as if the following command were executed:
but the value of the PATH variable is not used to search for the file name.
I know this is old, but i think on a new login shell, bash looks for a single file to run. It looks for .bash_profile, then .profile, then .bashrc. If it finds .bash_profile or .profile, it won't further look for .bashrc.
Solution, put in your .profile:
There are already several (probably correct) answers but I had this exact same problem and this is what worked for me:
