OAKLAND -- Josh Reddick's season-long slump officially ended Saturday when he backed up a three-hit game with another three-hit performance, including a game-winning single with one out in the ninth inning in a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros.
In collecting three of the A's 14 hits, Reddick upped his average to .200, or more than double where he sat at the start of the three-game series against the Astros.
Sure, the right fielder has put in plenty of hard work in trying to bust out of a 4-for-41 funk to start the season. But, the answer to regaining his stroke might have been as simple as stumbling across a box of his bats stashed above teammate Alberto Callaspo's locker.
Reddick used one of those bats Friday in the series opener and banged out three hits in four at-bats. So, naturally, he snagged another one of his bats from that once-hidden box Saturday and hammered three more.
"We were blaming it on that," Reddick said of his slump before finding the stash.
Reddick started Saturday's game 0 for 2. He finished with three straight singles, with the third one scoring Yoenis Cespedes with the decisive run.
Cespedes' run was the only time the A's held an advantage on the scoreboard. As he touched home, it set off a wild celebration in the middle of the infield, with Reddick somewhere in the middle.
"We often talk about guys who are in deep slumps, sometimes it only takes one game where you get a couple of hits or a couple of balls up, you start to feel a lot better about yourself," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Reddick.
It wasn't just Reddick who made a winner out of Dan Otero and prevented starter Scott Kazmir from being saddled with his first loss of the season.
Shortstop Jed Lowrie ignited the three-run rally in the ninth with a leadoff home run. Callaspo tied the score with a run-scoring single that also enabled Cespedes to get to third.
Perhaps most impressive, Reddick's hits Saturday were to the left side, the right side and up the middle, respectively. He now is dictating at-bats.
"It's showing me it's where I want to be in the box with every pitch," Reddick said. " ... Being able to not be so pull-happy or go-the-other-way-happy shows me that I'm where I need to be and I have enough confidence in myself to do everything."
Kazmir's confidence hasn't wavered from the time he signed with the A's. He turned in his fourth straight impressive outing and kept the A's within striking distance through eight innings of six-hit, no-walk ball.
Melvin said, "He pitched great again. He threw over 100 pitches today, basically in the same fashion we've seen him every time. He certainly didn't deserve to get a loss."
The Astros scratched out runs in the third, fourth and fifth. Meanwhile, the A's weren't having much success against Brett Oberholtzer and two relievers.
Yet, Kazmir said, he felt as if it was just a matter of time, as long as he kept the game close.
"Just go as deep as I can," Kazmir said, "and as long we got it close, I feel like we got a good chance."
"I'm going to say the same thing I said (Friday) night: nothing happened yesterday," Porter said.
Porter apparently took umbrage with Lowrie bunting, presumably because the A's had such a sizable lead. Hence, reliever Paul Clemens threw at Lowrie on back-to-back pitches in the third inning.
After Lowrie flew out to end the inning, Porter rushed out of the dugout to confront Lowrie near the first-base line.
"I don't understand the reaction," Lowrie said Saturday. "He just blew his top. For him to run on the field like that, point at me and yell at me like that. I don't get that.
"If you're going to give up, OK. If you have plans of scoring runs, we're going to try to score as many runs as we can."
The Astros placed a shift on Lowrie in the first inning, playing Lowrie to pull the ball to the right side.
Lowrie bunted toward third base, where Clemens fielded the ball and threw in time to get Lowrie at first.
"It's the first inning, you're playing a shift. Isn't that what you're asking me to do by doing that?" Lowrie said. "So, I didn't understand the reaction."
O'Flaherty isn't expected back from Tommy John surgery, anytime soon. He isn't eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list until May 29.
However, it's possible that he will face batters when the A's return from their next road trip, Melvin said.

Mental Health Center
Distress Tied to Higher Risk of Stroke
Dec. 13, 2012 -- Older adults with high levels of distress are more likely to have certain kinds of strokes than those who aren't as troubled, a new study shows.
Distress is a combined measure of stress, depression, negativity, and dissatisfaction with life.
"It's really trying to capture more than negative mood. A lot of studies have looked a depression and how it relates to heart disease or stroke risk, and in this case what we really wanted to get at was a general tendency to have a negative outlook on life," says researcher Susan A. Everson-Rose, PhD, MPH, associate director of the Program in Health Disparities Research at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Tracking Distress in Older Adults
For the study, researchers surveyed more than 4,000 adults over age 65 in the three neighborhoods in Chicago. The majority of people who took part were women and African-American. Their average age was 77.
Each person in the study gave a detailed medical history. They also answered questions about their income, education, daily functioning, and mental outlook.
After an average of seven years, 452 people in the study were hospitalized for strokes, and at least 151 people died of one.
After researchers accounted for other known risk factors for stroke, like smoking, high blood pressure, chronic health conditions, weight, and age, they found that high levels of distress were associated with having an increased risk for having a hemorrhagic stroke, or a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, rather than the more common stroke caused by a blood clot.
Researchers say they were surprised by that finding.
"Everything I knew about how measures of distress or depression link to heart disease and stroke went through [clotting] mechanisms. I'm really curious about what the biological mechanisms might be, but that's really a task for future studies," Everson-Rose says.
People in the study with the highest levels of distress also had roughly twice the risk of dying of a stroke compared to those with little distress.
More Research Needed
The study doesn't prove that distress causes strokes. Instead, it shows relationships between distress and health that are probably more complicated than simple cause and effect.

CONCORD -- A teenager who ran over and killed a father and his daughter while they were bike riding on Treat Boulevard two years ago was sued Friday, along with his parents.
David Rosen, 19, along with his mother and father, Kathleen and Michael Rosen, were sued for negligence and wrongful death, among others, in the death of Solaiman Nuri, 41, and his 9-year-old daughter Hadees.
Both were killed April 7, 2012, as they rode their bikes on the sidewalk eastbound along Treat Boulevard near Oak Grove Road, just a few minutes from their home. Another daughter, 12-year-old Hannah, suffered minor injuries.
The Rosens are being sued by Nuri's widow, Stoorai Nuri, and Hannah Nuri.
According to authorities, David Rosen, then 17, was driving a 2002 Cadillac Escalade westbound on Treat Boulevard at 71 mph, well over the posted 45 mph limit. Uninsured at the time, David Rosen veered in and out of traffic before he made an unsafe lane change, authorities said, then careened onto the sidewalk, sheared off a fire hydrant and struck the Nuri family before crashing into a building.
The Nuri family's attorney, Michael Cardoza, said David Rosen's reckless driving habits had been documented in the past, with neighbors approaching his parents on several occasions to complain about how he drove his father's Escalade.
"A car of that size obviously has potential to inflict a lot of damage, and to entrust it to someone who had no parameters, no control, who was allowed to do what he wanted when he wanted, it's just unforgivable," Cardoza said.
"David Rosen certainly is a young man that had a lot of monetary means," Cardoza added. "So we certainly hope to get a monetary apology from him for his absolutely gross negligence in taking the lives of two people and absolutely and catastrophically destroying the lives of two others."
Peter Coleridge, an attorney for the Rosen family, did not immediate reply to a request for comment. But reached at home, Michael Rosen said that his son remains haunted by the accident.
"My son still hears the sound of the people being hit," he said, adding that David sees a therapist once a week. "Even though it's been a year and a half, he's reliving the accident every day."
In October 2012, David Rosen was sentenced to the maximum term of more than seven years in confinement. But because he was convicted as a minor of two felony counts of vehicular manslaughter, state law requires him to be released at 21, meaning he will only serve three of the seven years. David Rosen also admitted to a misdemeanor count of reckless driving that caused injuries to Hannah.
Prosecutors dropped unrelated misdemeanor charges stemming from an earlier arrest in Walnut Creek for possessing alcoholic beverages and carrying a switchblade knife, according to David Rosen's plea agreement.

Sheriff Releases Pictures and Video Believed to Show Vehicle Involved in Lakeland Shooting
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:16 p.m.
LAKELAND | The Polk County Sheriff's Office released a video and still shots Monday of a vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting that killed one man and left another wounded.
The four-door vehicle appears to be gray with dark-tinted windows. It was captured by a resident's surveillance camera on Ponderosa Drive near Swiss Lane.
The Sheriff's Office also released still shots taken from the Polk Parkway toll booth that appears to be the same vehicle, which deputies said could be a Nissan.
The shooting occurred around 4:20 a.m. Sunday when Sean A. Williamson, 23, and his 29-year-old friend were returning home from Ybor City when they were ambushed on the 600 block of Swiss Drive in Lakeland, deputies said. Two unidentified men fired several shots that killed Williamson and wounded his friend.
The 29-year-old man drove himself to Lakeland Regional Medical Center where he was treated for the gunshot wounds.
Anyone with information about the vehicle is asked to call the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863-298-6200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-8477.

The visitors seem to be entities that sustain themselves from the negative emotions such as fear and anxiety, emanated by the human nervous system and energy body…Chogyal Namkai Norbu writes in Dzogchen: The Self Perfected State:Duality is the real root of our suffering and all our conflicts. All our concepts and beliefs, no matter how profound they may seem, are like nets which trap us in dualism. When we discover our limitations we have to try and overcome them, untying ourselves from whatever type of religious, political, or social conviction may condition us. We have to abandon such concepts as "enlightenment," "the nature of the mind," and so on, until we no longer neglect to integrate our knowledge with our actual existence.…Connected to our technological development, the Grays embody a malignant, supersensible element lurking beneath our fascination with mechanization, revealing the irrational basis of our constricted rationality. They also have lessons to teach us. As the critic Lewis Mumford noted, "Our capacity to go beyond the machine rests on our power to assimilate the machine. Until we have absorbed the lessons of objectivity, impersonality, neutrality, the lessons of the mechanical realm, we cannot go further in our development toward the more richly organic, the more profoundly human." Like transhumanist zombies, the Grays embody the reductive perspective that sees everything – matter, genes, human souls – as resources to be used for purposes of control and domination. In this way, the visitors serve as a warning, as well as an inoculation against a nightmarish fate we can recognize, and reject, in the time that remains to us.

As the disease progresses, people with ALS experience complications, which may include:
Over time, ALS paralyzes the muscles needed to breathe. Some devices to assist your breathing are worn only at night and are similar to devices used by people with sleep apnea. For example, you may be given noninvasive positive pressure ventilation to assist with your breathing at night.
In the latter stages of ALS, some people choose to have a tracheostomy — a surgically created hole at the front of the neck leading to the windpipe (trachea) — to enable the full-time use of a respirator that inflates and deflates their lungs.
The most common cause of death for people with ALS is respiratory failure. On average, death occurs within three to five years after symptoms begin.
Most people with ALS will develop trouble speaking over time. This usually starts as some mild slurring of words, often intermittently, but progresses over time to be more severe. With time, speech becomes more difficult for others to understand, and people with ALS often rely on other communication technologies to communicate.
When the muscles that control swallowing are affected, people with ALS can develop malnutrition and dehydration. They are also at higher risk of getting food, liquids or saliva into the lungs, which can cause pneumonia. A feeding tube can reduce these risks.
Some people with ALS experience problems with memory and making decisions, and some are eventually diagnosed with a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia.

The Irish Voice went into the zoo to investigate for Valentine's Day and found some answers that are sure to rattle some cages. In short, American women and Irish men can get it on, but Irish women prefer to stick to Irish lads
Sarah Richards, an American woman born and bred in New York City, states that Irish men offer a refreshing change from the normal American man.
'They are just a general change from the typical American douche-bag. Irish people don't take things as seriously. It's all about having fun and enjoying life and usually drinking. There's a light-heartedness about them that I like. And then there's the accent!'

Amanda Donovan, a business major, agrees wholeheartedly with this.
'Well besides the accent, I don't think they're as forward as American men. Like, they are more reserved in a sense. Most of them anyway. And they are definitely more sarcastic than American men and less serious about stuff, which I like.'
Elizabeth Rice, a bartender and songwriter originally from Chicago, says that Irish men have discovered a winning formula when it comes to thriving in the dating scene in America.
'I think Irish men have figured out a way to be mysterious and friendly at the same time, which makes them very intriguing to American women who are always up for a new challenge'.
The integration of the Irish male into New York's zoo has not come without its detractors however.
Alison Cusano, a theatre actress originally from New Hampshire, is outspoken in her aversion to Irish men.
'I think they just come over here and party all the time and think they're all that when it comes to getting girls and they get so tempted and can never say no. I think they mature very slowly, slower than American men. The Irish Curse is half true too!'
Dana Florence, working in finance, agrees with this stance but states that Irish guys are great fun nonetheless. She says that she would hunt them purely for sport, not for love.
'I think they're very attractive and a good time but only for a night or two. They're very charming and that's what you want on a day like Valentine's Day so I'll be looking for an Irish man that night for sure.'
Proving that the feeling is mutual, Sean Boyd, working in construction, says why he has an affinity for American women.

'I don't know...I just think they're more outgoing and sometimes easier to get along with and to have fun with. I think they're more old-fashioned when it comes to stuff like going out and that's the way it should be.'
Conor N, an undocumented bartender originally from County Cavan, had only five words to say when speaking of why he likes American women.
'Pretty easy but pretty crazy!'
Stephen Morris, working in a bar in Downtown Manhattan, believes he has a very simple philosophy when it comes to Irish and American women.
'American girls to date, Irish girls to marry. I don't think I could ever fully trust an American girl after all I've seen in the bars.'
Danny Luddy, a bartender in Manhattan, disagrees with this and states that American girls are perfect partners.
'You never know what you're going to get...American girls are from all over the place so they're very pretty in a different way and they're very interested in us so they're easier to go out with I think. They're more loyal too I think.'
On the other side of the dating field, Irish girls speak out as to why they don't have an attraction to American men.
Kate Reilly, living in Queens, says that she would never date an American man.
'We're not used to their forwardness and their expressions of emotion. They're too clingy! You wouldn't find an Irish man at that craic. As a nation of women I think we like our independence too much. I think they are tiring and relentless and I know plenty of girls that feel the same.'
Orlagh Reilly, working in Human Resources in Manhattan, concurs with this but says that Irish men could learn from an American man's chivalrous methods of wooing a woman.
'I think they are far more narcissistic, they care so much about image and themselves and they are a lot louder and hard to get along with. They are more forward but it is chivalry I suppose. There are not many Irish men that would ask you out to dinner.'

Raiders owner Mark Davis likes what he sees regarding free agency and the draft as orchestrated by general manager Reggie McKenzie, going so far as to call it "phenomenal."
As for his assessment of coach Dennis Allen, Davis is circumspect.
"I'll let Reggie answer that," Davis said Monday at an exclusive interview at an East Bay restaurant. "I hired Reggie, and gave him the ability to build the football side of the organization, and results speak. That's where it's at."
The Raiders report to training camp at the Napa Valley Marriott on Wednesday, with the first practice Friday.
Davis has not strayed from the chain of command established in 2012. Davis hired McKenzie, McKenzie hired Allen. After back-to-back 4-12 seasons, Davis said it was too soon for any dramatic changes. McKenzie is working on a five-year contract, while Allen enters the third year of a four-year deal.
The Raiders lost their last six games of the season and had embarrassing home losses with defensive meltdowns in Week 9 against Philadelphia (seven touchdown passes by Nick Foles) and Week 15 against Kansas City (four screen passes for TDs by Jamal Charles).
"Talking it over with Reggie and the game plan we had when we hired him, I believed we still had to give it time," Davis said. "Obviously nobody's happy with the way that season ended ... this year is the year, there are no more excuses."
Davis said the Raiders have repaired their salary cap and financial structure, added more talent and noted Allen got the coaching staff he requested.
Asked what would constitute progress in his mind, Davis wanted to see a team that competed, had the ability to finish games and had no tolerance for blowout losses.
"There were games last year where we didn't show up," Davis said. "The Kansas City game. One play four times? The same guy scoring four touchdowns? Philadelphia, seven touchdown passes? It wasn't there. That can't happen any more."

With a vote of support from the county yesterday the developers of the North Shore project on Canandaigua Lake will receive an $11 million tax deal.
After much deliberation, the Ontario County Board of Supervisors approved a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) Increment Financing deal, known as a PIF, that will help finance an $116 million mixed-use development across 21 acres on Lakeshore Drive.
Just three of the board's 21 supervisors voted against the deal.
The county was slated to approve the deal last month, but delayed due to the absence of two board members.
The county's vote follows approval by City Council and the Board of Education in February. The Ontario County Industrial Development Agency approved the deal last month after performing a cost-benefit analysis that projected a gain of nearly $20 million in taxes over the course of the 25-year PIF agreement.

Share your experiences with this event below Back to event details page.
Course is easy enough with some rolling hills in first and last miles. Middle is flat and BORING. They do have some fantastic cheering from the aid stations. Some of the best I have experienced. However, for such a small race it is a HUGE HASSLE to get there. Seriously cars lined up forever, then porta potty lines forever. It is not worth it. There are far nicer marathons out there with better organization and logistics.
I agree with Erin (above). Here is my "good" "bad" and "ugly" for this Marathon.
"THE GOOD": Great fan support throughout the race. Enjoyed the Air Force presence throughout. Over the top hydration and gel stations. Post race food and festivities were great.
THE "BAD": Thought the expo was poorly organized. We were funneled into the center into LOOONG lines which filed you past the expo booths. 1) No real time to meander through the expo vendors. Very congested all the way around the center. Then after the LOOONG wait to get to the bib area, you discover a very small area where there are 3 (did I say 3?), tes 3 lines to handle the 12,000 runners. Are you kidding me? Then we were directed to the center lower floor area to get the packets. Here, there was a vast area of unused space.
THE "UGLY" Well if you haven't heard it by now, The parking was a complete nightmare. Seems like the organizers were so excited by the record numbers, they failed to give adequate consideration to the impact this would have on parking. Our one hour trek in standstill traffic was minimal, I'm sure, compared to what many others probably endured our wait was nothing. Parking from the actual start area - I'm sure walked over a mile. It certainly was not the trek I wanted to make AFTER hobbling across the finish. How about a greater shuttle presence in the parking area? The final mess we experienced was the 35 minute wait in line to pick up our bags from baggage claim. How do you spell chaos? USAFMarathon Expo, Packet Pickup, Parking and Baggage Claim.
Would I do this marathon again? Never.
Fortunately, I had a great time with our running gang that gathered to run the event. I'm thankful for them.
Dean Moyer is right on target with their review. Parking was a nightmare. However, as a little more mature runner, I was just happy that I was able to walk the distance to the starting line and complete the race.
Would I do this run again? Yes, having been blessed each and every day by the good Lord, I will continue to do this run as long as I am able.
Well, this would be the third year in a row I have run the 1/2. It's one of my training runs on my way to the Columbus. I have to say that I've seen the amenities go away with each passing year. No buses this year? No sponges? I think I even heard smaller aircraft were used to buzz the start line? Hmmm, let's see...if every one of the 12,000 entrants paid $60 (meaning no one paid late registration
what are the chances?) then that would amount to $720,000. I'm glad I don't pay for this one-I would have felt ripped off! C'mon guys, you could certainly afford the buses-and if not, then find more staff to direct the parking--- which truly is a nightmare.
Still, the course is much nicer than it used to be, and the support is excellent---It's a keeper unless they continue to cut amenities.
I did this for my first full marathon, I did the half 2 years ago and have to say I was very disappointed. Traffic and parking were a nightmare. We had to ditch the car and walk almost 2 miles to the base because we weren't moving at all. Time we got to the base and used the portapots..the race had started..no worries right..its a chipped race.WRONG..turns out they stopped the start line timing system about a minute before I finally made it to the start line...so my time is over 25 minutes slower than I actually finished the race in..and they don't care. So I paid over $80 to walk 2miles, wait in traffic forever and have the wrong time displayed..no way am I ever going to do this race again and I will advise others not to either. And the result guy won't even take the time to respond to my email..nice! WORST race EVER(and I've done bigger races as in more people that went alot smoother)
We knew parking could be a problem so our hotel shuttled us to within half a mile. I LOVE the flyover. The race is special to me since my twin and I ran the half on our 65th birthday in '06 and she died on our birthday in '09 so I ran the full on our birthday this year. Bittersweet. The course was well supplied with water stops and the finish line remained open and well stocked til the last runner came in - nice. I wish there had been a finish line photo in front of a big airplane like in '06. And I missed the official photo with medal. I do like winning my age group.
suffered a tibia stress fracture 6 weeks before the marathon. their policy of no refunds despite mri proof of my stress fracture and a doctors note not to run was in poor form. also, was asked to pay an additional 10$ just to have my shirt mailed to me - won't support this event in the future.
This was my first marathon. I ran it with my sister and brother. The course had a lot of variety from hills, to going over bridges, to running around a lake, lots of scenery. I likes running through the town. It was a great accomplishment and experience to finish it. Each of the water stations were great. I plan on doing it again in 2011.
I have completed 19 Half Marathons in the last 18 months. There is a reason this Half Marathon sells out early. It is a very well organized event. 1. It has the best shirt out of all the other tech shirts I have got. It is a high quality mesh fabric tech shirt. 2. Hands down one of the best medals you get from a half or full marathon. 3. Ample water, gatorade, GU gel, and even port a potties throughout the course. The only downfall I would say is that the middle streets and across the tar mat (plain strip) is a little boring and the mile markers were off at the end, but overall, this is a great race. You even get food and Beer at the finish line.
I ran the full marathon. I enjoyed much about this race. There was great community turnout. Great bands. Great provisions: Gatorade, water, sponges and toilets. The military presence and support of them was electrifying. I was warned to get to the venue 90 minutes before the race to park, so I did. No problem.
The course was good, flat fast, interesting enough. Just one major detractor: Around mile 21, they route the 1/2 marathoners back onto the same road as the marathoners. They started an hour later, so we had a mob of 12 to 13 minute/mile halfers 15 abreast across the road, thousands of them, while us 7 3/4 to 8 3/4 per minute marathoners tried to get through them during our last miles. Nothing against the halfers, the organizer put them there. You can not have 13 minute runners clogging the road where 8 minute competitors are running. If there was a 3 1/2 rating I would give it less than 4 stars. Meanwhile the competitors in the 1/2 had their own problems, as they got off course and had to run an extra mile or so, effectively invalidating the race results.
I would not recommend this race if competing is important to you. I was 3 1/2 minutes from a 2nd Boston qual. If I didnt have stop and go traffic the last 4 miles, who knows? If it's just another stone soul picnic for you, go for it. But not good for competing, unless they fix the problems over the next year.

A good concept, revolutionary way of selling music on the internet. The app is good and stable, for any music fan it needs more ways of organization than just playlists.
IMO it will never replace a local library of music you own, remember you dont buy the music even with a Premium, you just rent it, so its up to them to keep the music you like or delete it.
As for the free version, I would like to think of it as a online radio that unlike last.fm and the like, the user can customize the program as much as he wants, instead of a stream based on "genres" or "similar artists".
Unfortunately the number and frequency of audio ads seem to be increasing lately, or maybe its just me...
Also ads makes listening to classical, operas and live concerts albums unbearable...
Samj, Spotify gives you 5.7 millions songs, on a CD there are 15-20 songs... How are you doing your math?
You're right about the two other points though, with Spotify you don't own music (although there maybe some "backup" tools), and from what I read the revenue earned by the artists seems low. I hope they find a way to pay the artists correctly, because I really love Spotify. :)
(I got the premium subscription, mainly to have offline mode.)
Technically impressive, but expensive (rather buy a CD or two every month), dangerous (if you stop paying you lose your music - can't do that with songs you own) and apparently not great for the artists either. Will keep a close eye on how this industry develops but sceptical for the time being.
For those who missed it: as of February 10, 2009 Spotify is available to anyone in the UK without the need for an invitation. (Spotify blog)
Also check getsatisfaction.com for feedback, feature wishes, bugs, etc.
Note: you can backup your playlists manually by copying/pasting the songs into Textedit, then saving as an html file that can be imported by Firefox 3's bookmark manager, and from there pasted back to Spotify (individually or all together).
You can also organize your albums in Firefox, see this blog.
Truly amazing, search then select a track and it almost instantly plays. Familiar, clean and simple interface. Personally I prefer it to using iTunes, mainly because my iTunes library is such a mess, but still whose isn't?
Since 18/12, Spotify scrobbles to last.fm.
Also, there's a nice script that adds little icons to tracks on last.fm, to automatically search for them in Spotify:
It is not a shareware, it is free ! you just have to receive an invitation.
That's two days now that I am using it for free and non stop, it is fantastic, I have heard a 20 seconds promotion message every 2 or 3 hours, telling me that I should go and listen to a band's latest album, I can live with that !.
I love it !
PS : I have another invitation and would like to trade it with a FFFFOUND! invitation.

A little more than halfway done with the season. The Spurs of all teams have the best NBA record, something that you probably didn't prodict before the season began. So who do you choose? The Lakers for the 3-peat? The Celtics or the big 3 of the Heat? The Spurs with their veteran lineup? Or other teams like the Thunder of Mavs? Let me know! I say the Heat win the NBA Finals over the Lakers in 7 games.
OK, Seriously? Nobody has any thoughts on the next NBA Finals winner? I'm really surprised.
Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs.
Lebron will have his revenge on them for taking his one chance at a ring. I predict D wade to be MVP of finalsand Lebron MVP of the year.
Youre dillusional if you think miami can beat boston or a healthy chicago in a seven game series and Lebron has not been in the top 5 for the mvp race all year untill the last few weeks. His chances are pretty slim at taking mvp
Thank you Had13. No post defense (or offense for that matter) and no point guard for the heat. They cannot guard the celtics or the magic underneath and u may be right about the healthy bulls. I've got Spurs over the Celtics in 7. The spurs are the most complete team and are at times unguardable. Ginobili for series MVP and Durantula for NBA MVP
not only no post offense or defense but Lebron is known for being terrible in big playoff games. When the refs lay off the whistle which they tend to do in the playoffs lebron has a tough time. He gets flustered easily by hard nose defenses such as boston and chicago especially when they can play extremely physical. Even though he's huge lebron tends to shy away from contact. kinda similar to the "jordan rules" in the late 80's early 90's
i'd say the spurs are gonna beat boston in the finals because they are 40 and 8!! thats very impressive because they havent even used tim duncan.
im a lakers fan and i would want them to win the championship but if they dont turn around their record soon i dont think they will have a very good chance. i dont believe the miami heat willl make it to the finals even though everyone says there the dream team. i think san antinio might have a good chance but they are a little old. the celtics are doing pretty good but so are the bulls. it think it will be a pretty intense rest of the season. but i ahev to go with lakers and celtics in the finals again this year. not sure if the lakers are going to be able to pull it offf but they better tuen around soon. hopefully i have the lakers winnign in 7 games.
You made some really good points, but I would just like to say that the best player that LeBron has played with in the playoffs is between Mo Williams and Antawan Jamison. Really? Now he has Bosh, Wade. Also, the reason why LeBron isn't in MVP is because he is sharing scoring with D-Wade. Good points!
thanks you too!
i think the heat might have a shot but they are a little inexperienced as a team. remember opening night celtics and heat? they have come a long way since that game but lately the "big 3" have had some injuries but they might just might have shot...and yes lebron has been playing well.
Absolutely, and back to my point, I've heard the argument before (not on this post) that LeBron had a good enough supporting cast that he should have won a title. Are you serious? Almost no one has left that team, and they are about to set a record for the longest losing streak in NBA history! So I agree, the Heat are growing as a team and will keep getting better and better.
yea i agree. i have no idea how people even could have argued the point lebron could have won a championship. he had non help what so ever. it would be him against whatever team they were playing...the ENTIRE season leading to the playoffs....im acctually suprised lebron made it to the playoffs by himself...considering how talented he is... you can t do everything by urself and thats why the cavs didnt work out
What i want and what i think will happen are differnt. I want Mavs v. Bulls...but i'm guessing the Spurs beat the Celtics in the end.
youre right the cavs are terrible right now but they are not as bad as their record shows. They had a decent record before their loss to miami which sent them on a big time downward spiral. Every team in the NBA is talented it takes a lot more than that to win games. Cleveland had the best record in the NBA 2 seasons in a row with Lebron and got destroyed in the playoffs. Swept in the finals by San Antonio, a series that was not even close. Nearly swept by Orlando the next year and then again destroyed again by Boston the year after that. In each series Lebron was less than impressive. It's just a fact he has not played well in the playoffs. Miami overall has way less talent than Cleveland had. Yes Wade is incredible but Bosh is over rated and has proved that this year and the rest of the team couldn't find a starting position anywhere else in the NBA. You have to have a decent bench to do well in the playoffs. I'm not saying they don't have a chance but It's extremely unlikely especially how well Boston and Chicago are playing and Miami has yet to beat either of those teams.
What's up? Well in my opinion, the season is about half way through but anything could happen. So, I'm not really sure. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the aged and intelligent Celtics or Spurs won...

Charlie Wilson had a sold out concert in Pittsburgh!
The one and only R&B legend "Charlie Wilson" gave a performance at the Benedum Center that no one will ever forget
This week I visited the Benedum Center in Downtown Pittsburgh, Savoy Restaurant in the Strip District, Olivet Baptist Church in the Hill District and CJ's in the Strip District.
My first stop was at Olivet Baptist Church in the Hill District where Pastor Tyrone Munson held an event featuring his family and friends. Everyone came out to get their praise and worship on at this great event.
Pastor Tyrone Munson of Olivet Baptist Church is this week's "BEST DRESSED MALE"

Kauai Pursues Biomass and Wind Power and Solar Water Heating
Hawaii has abundant renewable energy resources and no fossil fuel resources, and that latter fact has left the state largely dependent on expensive fuel imports delivered by ship. Fortunately, Hawaii's utilities are expressing a growing interest in renewable energy sources to meet their needs. The Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) is a case in point: the utility is currently working with three companies to develop renewable energy power plants on the island. Green Energy Hawaii will develop a 7.5-megawatt "closed loop" biomass power plant, using a dedicated supply of woodchips and other biomass grown on a local tree farm. The plant will gasify the biomass and use the hot gas to power a turbine. In addition, Cleaves & Company will relocate a 4.5-megawatt biomass plant from California to Kauai. The plant will be fueled with California walnut shells at first, but the company plans to develop local biomass sources. Finally, UPC Kauai Wind Power, LLC will develop a 10.5- to 15-megawatt wind power plant. See the KIUC press releases on the contracts with Green Energy Hawaii (PDF 481 KB), Cleaves & Company (PDF 483 KB), and UPC Kauai Wind Power (PDF 304 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
The utility is also encouraging its customers to employ renewable energy through a solar water heating incentive program. In addition to rebates and a state tax incentive, the utility has teamed up with a credit union and a housing agency to offer no-interest loans on solar water heating systems. See the KIUC press release (PDF 482 KB).

Brevard College Wind Ensemble to perform Wednesday
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:58 a.m.
The Brevard College Wind Ensemble will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the college's Porter Center for Performing Arts. The ensemble will be joined by guest student conductors from BC's music department, as well as the Brevard High School Wind Ensemble.
The concert will feature musical styles ranging from Gregorian chant to modern electronic music. A highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of Juilliard-trained composer Alex Shapiro's "Tight Squeeze." This is Shapiro's fourth piece for wind ensemble, and provides band students with a chance to play and learn about styles as varied as bebop, Latin jazz, and 12-tone.
The concert's closing piece will be a performance of English composer Edward Gregson's "Concerto for Piano and Winds," featuring BC music faculty member Katherine Palmer as guest soloist. The concert is free. Call 828-884-8211 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
