The show reveals how the movement shaped history by exposing the fatal flaw of a republic founded on liberty for some and bondage for others, setting the nation on a collision course.

CNN Offers a Reminder About the Dangers of Counterfeits
CNN Offers a Reminder About the Dangers of Counterfeits
06.03.11 | By Kate Connors
CNN today ran a segment on the problem of counterfeit medicines.
It serves as a reminder that American patients currently enjoy peace of mind knowing that their prescription medicines are safe and effective, as determined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and not counterfeit.
For good reason, the U.S. drug supply system is a closed system - this means that foreign medicines not approved by FDA are prohibited from entering the U.S. to help ensure that American patients are protected from the global counterfeit medicine threat.
Unfortunately, criminal networks around the world have become increasingly sophisticated and are taking advantage of millions of patients by selling cheap counterfeit drugs on Internet sites, many of which masquerade as legitimate pharmacies. Countless studies have shown that these rogue online pharmacy sites serve as a clearinghouse of unapproved and dangerous counterfeit drugs that unsuspecting consumers can often buy without a valid prescription.
Over the past few years, significant steps have been taken by the U.S. government, biopharmaceutical research companies and other health care stakeholders to help shield Americans from counterfeit medicines - but more must be done. America's biopharmaceutical research companies will continue to work with public and private partners in the fight against this growing epidemic to help protect the safety and integrity of our closed drug supply system.
For more information on the risks related to counterfeit medicines, click here.

KOLKATA: A rare, newly-discovered drawing by Canaletto sold for a record £1,945,250/US$3,050,347/2,423,199 at Sotheby's London moments ago. Completely unrecorded, this exceptional work - a view of the Campo di San Giacomo di Rialto -- had not been seen in public since 1876.
Its appearance at auction on Wednesday generated huge excitement, culminating in an intense bidding battle between six determined collectors. Together they drove the price to a sum more than five times the original estimate of £300,000-£500,00, and four times the previous record for a drawing by the artist ($715,000/£493,103 achieved for view of Warwick Castle, from the John R. Gaines Collection and sold in New York in November 1986.)

According to Gart Sutton & Associates (GSA), there will be no shutdown in services when Assurant Solutions hands over its 20 group dealers to it on Monday.
"We are hoping for a seamless transition," Steve Jones, general manager of GSA, says. "All the current Assurant schedules for training and dealer groups will remain intact until further notice."
As we reported earlier, Assurant Solutions told its 20 group members on Wednesday that it was transferring them to GSA in five days.
"It just happened very, very rapidly," Jones says. "We've been working with them as a contractor for about six months. And we were going to do some of their 20 groups and maybe help them with some changes in the structure of their training programs. But at that point there was no hint that we would suddenly acquire their 20 groups. That kind of came out of nowhere."
We reported earlier that GSA managed about 20 dealerships, but Jones informs us that the company added two other groups in the past year. Plus, GSA facilitates more than seven groups for OEM clients.
We also said earlier that the company was based in Corona Del Mar, Calif., but this is just the hometown of Gart Sutton himself. Like him, all GSA employees work from home. This presumably will make the transition of some former Assurant employees to GSA easier. Jones says former Assurant 20 Club head honcho Sam Dantzler is already on board.
At this past year's Dealer Expo, Assurant Solutions was claiming that it moderated more than 350 dealers in its dealer groups. But Jones says the number being transferred is closer to 300. "There has been some attrition because we've inherited a number of them in our Best Operators Clubs," he says.
What about all the unflattering things Ed Lemco has been saying lately about the 29-year-old Gart Sutton & Associates?
"We're surprised Ed would make those kinds of comments," Jones says. "We have only made positive statements about him. Incidentally, Ed has never attended one of our sessions. If anything, we are far more intense than Ed ever was. It is just that we have a lot better technology than he did at the time, so our methodology is a little bit different. Instead of focusing on doing it all at the meeting, we focus on their data being available, real-time, anytime the dealer wants to look at it, and we follow that up with monthly critiques from our financial analysts that go out to the dealers by e-mail. So when dealers go to the meeting, they already have a lot of information that normally wouldn't have been there. As far as I know, we are the only one that has a real-time Web-based 24/7 composite system."
In a statement released yesterday, Gart Sutton said, "We are looking forward to helping the newly expanded Best Operators Club not only survive in these tough economic times, but to thrive. Finding your edge in today's competitive retailing market requires a street-smart approach. We provide the tools, skills and knowledge that 20 club dealers need today."

A special thanks also goes out to the following for making this event possible: Barbour County Commission, Region IV OEM directors and staff; Anyssa Core, Region IV liaison; Jim Ancell; Dirk Burnside; Terry Wilfong; Bill Renzelli; Howard Peek; Barbour County 911 Center; Health Net; Pierpont Community & Technical Center; RESA 7; WVUFSE; WV RIC; West Virginia University and Davis Memorial Hospital; Barbour County Fairground Committee; WBOY; WDTV; Barbour County Parks and Recreation Police; Philippi Reserves; Belington EMS; Barbour County EMS; Junior Volunteer Fire Department; Belington Volunteer Fire Department; Philippi Volunteer Fire Department; and all responders for all they do to make local communities safe.

Exclusive Preview of Voices.com
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
August 21, 2006
With just over 10 days to go, we've let a few cats out of the bag! Want a sneak peek of Voices.com?
Hi there,
We've been working hard throughout the summer and have been listening to all of your ideas, aiding us in our mission to make Voices.com the absolute best place that it can be for you.
Here's a glimpse of what you can expect at the new Voices.com website.
Account & Settings - Preferences, Statistics and Account Description, Type and Renewal date all one click away. Preferences have been simplified and now govern your complete experience from the email notifications you receive to the types of jobs you see.
Search - The search engine has been improved to index all the text of your web page. The search results include a Flash player, so your MP3 demos will load quickly and play back in high-quality, 128 kbps.
Navigation - Whenever you hover over a link, the entire word lights up, making it easier to tell that the highlighted word will take you to a new page. You may have already noticed this in place on the Vox Daily blog.
Your Web Page - Union status has been standardized which now allows you to check the box beside the appropriate item.
The recording studio area on your web page is divided into four distinct areas, where you can type descriptions for your microphone, computer software, special equipment, delivery method and turn around time. Having a complete recording studio description lets prospective clients know that you are fully capable to record, edit, mix and master their audio project to perfection.
Studio - After much debate, and various layouts, the Studio is still a central focus for many voice talents. Uploading, editing and deleting files is a day-to-day activity, so we've decided to keep the 'Studio' tab, as opposed to merging it with the Profile. You can now select the category of demo which will improve the search results and inform clients of the style of work they'll be hearing - before clicking the play button.
Audition Preview - The online audition screen now includes a preview button, so you can see exactly how the clients will see your audition. Preview the MP3 file you've included with your audition. A PayPal button is automatically created, so if the client wants to move ahead with payment, they can do so easily. Text formatting includes spaces and line breaks, plus you can 'attach' your signature, saving you from retyping your contact information with each audition.
People - An new area for clients that allows them to invite their colleagues and team members to listen to, review and rate voice talent that respond to their job postings. People also includes their 'Favorites'.
Ratings & Reviews - The feedback system has also been simplified in order to help you better gage what clients think of your work. A simple 5-star rating is located in the search results and in your auditions.
PayPal - PayPal buttons on your web page now allow the client to input any amount. This means, that there's no need to login and change the value of your PayPal button to specific amounts. Clients send money to you directly, for the agreed upon amount.
Help - There are four ways to have your questions answered, all organized under the 'Help' tab. You can browse the FAQ's and read solutions then print those you may want to reference again in the future. Live Chat is a great option when you are navigating the website. Alternatively, you can send us an email using the online forms. Finally, call us toll-free, Monday to Friday and we'll be happy to give you a hand.

Do we as members have to do anything like rejoin or change "favorites?" Or will the whole changeover be automatic to voices.com?
Just hadn't heard this addressed so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks, I think it's going to be great!!!Posted by:
Just wanted to say how pleased I am to see the continued improvement for Voices.com, (What did ya have to pay to get THAT? - I tried a long time ago)
Re-upped for another year because I believe in what David & Stephanie are trying to do to make this the best service.
Now...if I can just get some more responses from those elusive clients...Posted by:
Steve: The switchover will be automatic. Hooray!
Johnny: Thank you for your support and I trust we at Voices.com can help you out regarding voice-over work.
I want to take the time to thank everyone who submitted ideas and their vision for the Voices.com website. We're almost there!

"Standard", as in "Industry Standard", is something that any company offering services such as a gathering place for clients looking for talent and talent looking for work should aspire to.
"Voices" is on the verge of becoming the Industry Standard in our business. The "Cattle Call" sites are fast becoming a thing of the past because not everyone with an inexpensive PC or MAC and the chat mic it came with is a "voice talent" regardless of how fast modern communications get. "Voice talent" in 2006 may indeed be "in the ears of the client" but "producing quality work" will remain a professional task. Voices.com is making it easier for the professional to make an even better presentation.
Thank you "Voices.com" for provided the "others" a lofty goal to aim for.
It's wonderful to see all of these improvements taking shape and fun to know that many of them from our suggestions.
The very best to you, Dave and the whole team there at Voices.com.
Be well,
Stephanie and David,
Congratulations on your new site name and content. I know you've been working hard to make your site the best in the business, and I'm glad to be associated with your company.
I wish you much success!Posted by:
Great news! Will clients continue to received our proposals as one big text smush, or will line breaks and formatting be preserved?
Break lines and formatting in proposals will be preserved.
StephaniePosted by:
After a couple years on voice123 and Voices.com (formerly Interactive), there is no comparison.
I will not renew on 123.
Thanks to David and Stephanie for their tireless striving to be a true "Premier" site and resource. I'm looking forward to the next year or 2 as the dust begins to settle on this aspect of the business and seeing the winners (like voices.com) emerge the victors.
Thanks for inviting me to the party.
Here's to outrageous success to us all.
dcPosted by:
These are all great advances.
Glad that I will be able to do one last check of my audio before I send it. I am really excited about the **** feedback system - that should be a excellent tool to learn from.
Interactive Voices was my favorite site, however, now with the improvements it will be even better.
Now if we could just get all the talent to use your Rate Sheet as a bottom line bid - we would all be better off.
Well done and thank you for all your efforts.
Best wishes.Posted by:
Thanks for the update Steph and David!
I can't wait for the official launch of Voices.com. I reupped for another year and hope to be as successful in my VO venture as you are with Voices.com.
It's great to be here and thanks for all the superb and hard work making this THE place to be for voiceovers (talents and seekers).
All the best!Posted by:
Thanks for making PayPal a flexible amount!
Audition preview sounds like a plus. I am definitely getting smoother and faster at this and appreciate these comment emails and your updating my Profile with edits and suggestions for success.Posted by:

Viper Cuda
650HP Time Machine
Mike Staveski of Time Machines, Hudson, Florida acquired a '70 Plymouth Barracuda convertible in 1999 and upon driving a GTS Viper felt that this 'Cuda could be turned into something special. He wanted to combine the timeless styling of a 1970 Barracuda with all of the modern technology that an ACR Dodge Viper had to offer. From the blend of the '70 Cuda and components from a 1998 ACR Viper, the "Six Shooter" took form as the latest T-Machine from Staveski. With its V10 power reaching 650HP, from the addition of a NOVI-2000 air/water charge cooled system, this yellow Barracuda became an overnight show-stopper during its tour.
The current issue of Mopar Action has an article about Time Machines performing these conversions for the general public, and features a beautiful red convertible. Their site features a beautiful silver with black Viper Cuda..

Three affordable housing schemes completed
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Development
Top DCLG director admits Government housebuilding targets are 'under threat'
Cottsway Housing Association has completed three affordable housing developments.
Properties ranging from one-bed apartments to four-bed houses have been built and already hailed for the wide mix of residents they have attracted.
The three developments – costing just under £4 million in total – were made possible due to a partnership between Cottsway, West Oxfordshire District Council and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
The HCA invested £376,500 into the projects.
Eight apartments for affordable rent have been developed at Wyttanige Court, Burford Road, Witney, and a further four homes ranging in size at Longore, Stonesfield.
Paul Hemming, Cottsway's development manager, said one of the most exciting development projects to complete is the Falkland Close scheme in Burford.
"This site was classed as a rural exception site – one that was granted planning permission on the basis it would provide long-term affordable housing for local people," he said.
"Over an eight year period, and through very close partnership working with Burford Town Council, it has won the support of local people and we have now developed new homes for them.
"Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we recognise a major need for affordable properties for people who live and work in the town. All the properties have been let to people with a local connection.
"The town council began looking for affordable housing sites eight years ago and we were instrumental in helping them to find the scheme, develop it and provide valuable accommodation for a mix of local people."
Construction work to provide 13 affordable rent properties, ranging from one to four-bedrooms, as well as two for shared ownership, began on the Falkland Close site in autumn 2012.
The £2.3 million scheme was completed at the end of May.
Owen Ingram, chief executive of Cottsway, added: "We know that these three developments have helped local people access high quality, affordable homes. We have been pleased to work with West Oxfordshire District Council and Burford Town Council to meet the housing need in this area.
"Cottsway is committed to quality development. The properties have been built to a high standard and we are confident that the residents will be very happy in their new homes for years to come."
As part of its commitment to development, Cottsway is delighted to support the National Housing Federation's Yes to Homes campaign.

Hey guys. I put a Vapor gauge on the bike, and it turns out they sent me the wrong leads for how I am hooking up the tach. Basically I am missing a resistor. No problem, all I need is a 600k ohm resistor. BUT, I need to know how many watts are sent along those r/w wires that head to the coils so that I can buy a resistor that is rated for the correct wattage. I don't have a multimeter with me (it is about 2 hours north at the moment) so I can't measure it very easily. Anyone know what it is off the top of their head? Don't go measuring it if you don't it really isn't that big of a deal that I can't wait until I get a multimeter, but I thought that someone might know!

If you have a 600k resistor in the tach line, you are NOT seeing full coil power. Any resistor, 1/8w or even less, will do fine.

Thailand's Kumkhum Loses in Australia
Thailand's new tennis hope, Luksika Kumkhum, saw her winning streak at the Australian Open come to an end Thursday.
The 19-year-old was trounced by American Jamie Hampton, falling 6-1, 6-2 in 57 minutes, but is projected to rise to around 165 in the world, which will be a career-high.
"It was tough. She hits hard," said the Chantaburi native, who will return to Thailand in the next couple of days. "I need to get stronger and improve my serve."
Next on her agenda is the Pattaya Open, which starts in the beach resort town on the east coast of Thailand on Jan 28.
She'll then represent Thailand in the Asia/Oceana Zone Group pool playoffs in Kazakhstan from Feb. 6 to Feb. 9 alongside her mentor, Tamarine Tanasugarn, as well as world number 205 Nudnida Luangnam and world number 264 Noppawan Lertcheewakarn.
Kumkhum says she isn't feeling pressure to take over as the top Thai female tennis player when Tanasugarn, 35, eventually retires.
"We have other girls, like Noppawan," she said.
In the men's draw, 30 year-old Bangkok-born twins Sanchai and Sonchat Ratiwatana lost their first round doubles match, 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-2, to Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky and Russia's Mikhail Youzhny.
Danai Udomchoke, also of Bangkok, who partnered Taipei's Jimmy Wang, lost a close battle, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(9) to Colombian duo Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah.

I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils)
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils) Theme of Happiness
"I wandered lonely as a Cloud" is a poem that just makes you feel good about life. It says that even when you are by yourself and lonely and missing your friends, you can use your imagination to fine new friends in the world around you. As John Milton famously wrote, "The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven." The speaker of this poem makes a heaven out of a windy day and a bunch of daffodils. His happiness does not last forever – he's not that unrealistic – but the daffodils give him a little boost of joy whenever he needs it, like recharging his batteries.
Questions About Happiness
- Why do you think the speaker is lonely at the beginning of the poem?
- How can he tell that the daffodils are "happy"? Why do we think that some objects are happy and others (like a cloud) are not?
- Do you think that the happiness the speaker experiences when remembering the daffodils is as powerful as the original experience?
- If thinking about the daffodils makes the speaker happy, then why is he in "vacant" and "pensive" moods so often? Couldn't he just think about the flowers all the time? Or is it not that easy?
Chew on This
Wordsworth would have the reader believe that the pleasure of seeing the daffodils with his "inner eye" is of the same quality and intensity (or better) than the real, momentary perception of them.
The speaker can only be happy in solitude by using his imagination. Therefore, he was lonely at the beginning of the poem because he was not using his imagination.

Jackie Chan meets vulnerable children
Jackie Chan arrived in Yangon, Myanmar early yesterday morning. From the airport he went to a UNICEF-supported community center which helps children who are living in difficult circumstances. Some of them have HIV, some are forced to live or work on the streets and some are experiencing difficulties at home.
As soon as he entered the children put the red HIV ribbon on his blue UNICEF T-shirts and started with a dance performance which even had some mini-stunts in it. As Jackie joined in the clapping of hands there was a big cheer among the crowd of kids who were sitting and watching.

Jackie Chan visits trafficked children
World-famous martial arts icon and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Jackie Chan kicked off his second day in Mandalay, central Myanmar, with a visit to a center for trafficking survivors.
There, he met with girls who managed to escape from the traps of traffickers and have been able to return to their country. The staff of the center help the girls with their repatriation process, provide counseling and support and also train the girls in vocational skills such as embroidery.

IPFire 2.11
The IPFire development team has released the 61st core update for IPFire 2.11, a hardened Linux appliance distribution designed for use as a firewall.
According to the IPFire website, IPFire offers corporate-level network protection for everyone from home users to large corporations and focuses on security, stability, and ease of use.
The latest version of IPFire features improved OpenVPN support. Now, static routes may be defined for OpenVPN clients, connections can now be renamed when importing them, and OpenVPN N2N connections are displayed with their status on the index page. Additionally, for security reasons, more than 30 bugs have been fixed for PHP 5.3.14.
According to the announcement, the Reiser4 filesystem will no longer be supported. The IPFire developers say that it has become too difficult to keep their kernels in sync with the Reiser4 development state. The developers recommend making a backup of your system and reinstalling it with one of the filesystems offered by the installer.
The IPFire developers also state that the next major version of IPFire will come with an updated Linux 3.x kernel. The IPFire open source firewall solution is available for free download.

Genre/Subjects: Art/Filmmaking, Biographical, Colorado, Documentary, LocalLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Chad Herschberger, Amie Knox
Producer: Amie Knox, A bar K ProductionsEditor: Chad Herschberger
Special DocNight presentation Thursday, January 12th at 7pm
Followed by a post film discussion with the filmmakers and a reception afterwards
Digital presentation - Still tells the story of Clyfford Still's remarkable life and his indelible contribution to American art. Though not as well known as his contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Still was one of the leaders of the Abstract Expressionist movement, yet deliberately turned his back on the art establishment at the height of his career.
His collection—more than 800 paintings and 1500 works on paper, many of which have never been viewed before—will be housed at the Clyfford Still Museum, opening in Denver. Through interviews with leading art and social historians, contemporary artists, and former students, this documentary by Amie Knox will reveal, for the first time, the detailed and compelling story of his life; the evolution of his work; and the reasons for his prominent and permanent place in American art.
In cooperation with the Clyfford Still Museum

Adam, how did you get interested in Lenny?
AS: So in 2000, I write a couple of articles about high school basketball players making it to the NBA and I was really fascinated by that process and I wanted to identify someone who was about to go through that process. So I found Lenny through some sports management friends of mine from Fordham University and I told them what I wanted to do. So for Lenny it was like, "Shit, there's another camera on me? Let's do this." So I just blended into the crowd and shot for a year or two, and then I kinda was tight with him until he wound up leaving his guardian's house and he fell into the hands of…
It's like Carmelo is barely even listening to Lenny. He's watching the game and itching to get back out on the court, and Lenny is in a fucking durag and a chain with Foxy Brown's brother Gavin looking like they're ready to go to a club after Lenny's team got their asses beat by some team from Nebraska.
AS: Yeah and he didn't want me around. He was like a different person.
Why didn't he want you around?
AS: When we're at Debbie's house in 2001, you see the dollar signs in Lenny's eyes while he's watching Kwame Brown. You can see him going through the motions like, "This is me next year." And then when he left Debbie's, it was harder and harder to get in touch with him, and he wouldn't get back to me. I was supposed to be with him until the 2002 NBA Draft, and I must've called him like 400 times that day and he didn't answer my calls. As a filmmaker, I was like, "Oh God. What the fuck?" because I've been working on this for so long. So then it sat on my shelf for lyears, and my wife was like, 'you gotta finish this.' I was like I gotta finish this, and all my friends were like you gotta put the right team together, so I knew these guys from growing up through our families and stuff. They're like five years younger than me so I was kinda like their older brother. These guys have already made quite a number of successful films, but they've never messed with a doc before. So I brought Josh over one day, and he started looking at the footage and he was like, "Holy shit, this is crazy." These guys attack a documentary film almost from la fiction background, so there's not a lot of interviews in the film.
Lenny narrating definitely made the doc feel realer.
AS: We're not trying to put our personality or our stamp. We're just showing you as it was. I'm sure he was shocked when he wasn't drafted. You made great points. It's like Carmelo is barely even listening to Lenny. He's watching the game and itching to get back out on the court, and Lenny is in a fucking durag and a chain with Foxy Brown's brother Gavin looking like they're ready to go to a club after Lenny's team got their asses beat by some team from Nebraska.
Lenny was one of those guys before the LeBron hype and Sebastian Telfair after that.
AS: I spent a lot of time with Telfair when he was a freshman, but even Sebastian looked up to Lenny. Just like Joakim Noah did. They all looked up to Lenny like a god.
I was amazed that his name wasn't called. The 2002 Draft was weak, and for nobody to give him a shot said something about his attitude toward the game.
AS: I guess. It's interesting. He wasn't a bad guy. He wasn't a dangerous guy. He hung out with the wrong people, and when he stepped on the basketball court, he played really hard on both ends of the floor. That was kind of interesting. Yeah, he was out in clubs and stuff, but that stuff can be contained. I always asked myself, What if he was drafted? What if he caught on with a team? Debbie had everything taken care for him, she looked out for him. I'm not sure what Debbie's motives were. Is she doing it for him or is she doing it for whatever? But at least there was a stable environment there. She cared for him unlike these people he left her for however much money. And then the whole thing about being academically ineligible at the age of 19 in the state of New Jersey, he could've gone to any prep school and played basketball and he chose not to. I always scratch my head at that.
That year off hurt his stock.
AS: He made the decision to not play basketball for that senior year. He could not have played that senior year in the state of New Jersey, but he could have played that senior year somewhere like Oak Hill. If he played for one of those schools, he would've been playing 32-34 games a season and would've been on the radar.
Does he keep in touch with Debbie?
AS: He does. The film has kind of brought them back into contact.
But it's not what it used to be.
AS: It's funny. Ron Naclerio, who's the coach of [Benjamin] Cardozo in Queens—I think it's one of the only talking soundbites—says, "Debbie is gonna put him on the train to success," and I think the line is, "Lenny's gotta know when to get off." She's not going to take care of him when he's 30, 40, or 50. That's true, and she doesn't take care of him and it hurts her. He did carve out a career. He traveled the world. He did play all over the place, but some of those gyms you see him playing in are depressing. Those last gyms he was playing in during that national anthem scene, there's like 12 people in the gym and it's -30 degrees outside.
It's like a CYO game.
AS: Yeah, and there's a shot from up top and you see cups on the floor and there are like 30 people there. That gym gets 12-15 thousand a night during high school basketball games. It's crazy, it's like one of the biggest high school gymnasiums in the country. But when a semi-pro team comes through there, 10 people show up. He was a big star over in the Philippines and I think he came close. He also played on the Boston Celtics summer league team, but I guess there are only so many spots. One of the things I guess we didn't touch on is how Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, and all those guys who were 6'10", 6'11", 7'0" were all being drafted on potential. Obviously they were all great players. Lenny was 6'6". There are a lot of athletes who are 6'6".
That's why those guys are still in the league. Kwame Brown still gets contracts. The list goes on.
AS: You can't teach size right? He was 6'6" and he was kind of like a banger, you know? He was kind of a wing, but he was like a swinger. A little like how Artest played. Ron caught on even though he was a wild.
Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, and all those guys who were 6'10", 6'11", 7'0" were all being drafted on potential. Obviously they were all great players. Lenny was 6'6". There are a lot of athletes who are 6'6".
He could play that defense, man.
AS: Yeah, but he knew how to channel his anger. Lenny just had the wrong people around him.
He didn't have the focus either.
AS: Yeah that's another thing that he spoke about. At the end of it, it's like you're either wired to be a professional athlete or you're not wired to be a professional athlete. Not everyone is wired to be a professional athlete. Eighty-two games a season, you're never around your family. That shit is hard. That's discipline. You have to be responsible. He didn't see it, but no one was really showing him. The only one who tried to show him was Debbie, who was a blond hair blue-eyed lady but he's a black kid from Bushwick. After a while it's like, "you don't know what's best for me. I gotta go out and find out what's best on my own." I feel like there was something protective about her. Coaches used to have to get through her to get to him.
When you guys were talking to her about the time when he decided to leave she looked heartbroken. I think she was genuine.
I think so. Can you imagine the shit she had to take from Lenny Cooke in 2001 living under your roof? You can only imagine. Then you have all his friends over? Who knows what the fuck they were doing in that house? I can only imagine. Who knows what they were doing. But once he was out of her house, he didn't have guidance. What if he had better representation? If someone did Debbie a favor. Debbie would've probably hooked him up. You saw that guy who was outside of Junior's Cheesecake who was blowing smoke up his ass.
That's the guy that's probably telling him, "Oh yeah, you're going to get your name called."
But what if someone did Lenny a favor and one of these big superagents like David Faulk took a chance on him. You don't think those guys have a better relationship with NBA teams? No phone lines into any GMs, right? That guy probably didn't do a thing actually. Just did nothing, He put Lenny's name in the draft, and said, " With all these articles that have been written about Lenny, someone is going to draft him."
