The Magnificent Seven
23 September 2016 By Todd Jorgenson
You might be humming the classic theme song on the way out, but otherwise, there's not much reason to saddle up for The Magnificent Seven, an unnecessary revisionist remake of the iconic Western about a septet of gunslingers dishing out some frontier justice. This technically proficient effort generates a decent camaraderie among its culturally diverse […]

After covering BlackBerry apps for B2B marketers and PR professionals, this week we're taking a look at BlackBerry apps that facilitate B2B sales.
B2B salesmen and women are constantly traveling, and their nomadic lifestyles demand mobile support. In the field, even a laptop can be cumbersome, so it's important to have sales solutions that fit in your pocket.
As the go-to choice for most sales teams, it makes sense BlackBerry has many apps designed to close deals and deliver results:
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an integral part of an organization's sales strategy. Salesforce.com, one of the most popular solutions, has a mobile version for users to upload customer information in real time, right after important customer calls, e-mails and visits. The app helps to manage sales and prospect data outside of the office, which equals less time at your desk and more time in the field.
Thanks to a recent Salesforce update, the Mobile Lite app is now free for all Salesforce users, including Group customers.
2. Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant
If you use Oracle as your CRM system, its Mobile Edge app will take your CRM data on the road.
Mobile Edge puts all of the traditional CRM account, contact, opportunity, activity, lead and ticket information on your BlackBerry, syncs with your phone's address book and utilizes custom objects, pre-loading device data, centralized administration and interface mapping. Its latest update in October 2009 introduced support in 12 languages, opening up new opportunities for global B2B companies.
While this free demo will give you a peek into the mobile app's features, you'll have to contact your Oracle rep for full installation and connectivity.
3. Kindle
E-book readers have become a part of B2B marketing tool kit, delivering novels, industry e-books and blogs (like Social Media B2B) in one sleek package – but what if that package is still too big for salespeople on the go?
Amazon just released a beta BlackBerry app that puts more than 400,000 books on your smartphone. Kindle owners can access their libraries and notes, and the app automatically synchronizes your last page read and annotations.
While it's not a replacement – BlackBerry Storm owners will be at an advantage, as Bold, Curve and Tour screens require constant page turning and squinting – the Kindle app for BlackBerry extends the convenience of an e-reader.
Tracking mileage and gas on business trips and customer visits can be tedious and time-consuming. There are many mileage tracking apps available for the BlackBerry, but VQ Mileage Tracker (currently discounted from $14.99 to $6.99) goes one step further and does all of the work for you.
The app automatically calculates mileage every time you're in the car, and stores the data until you generate a report with information on the date and time of each trip, address and miles driven. The app also uses BlackBerry or Google maps to pinpoint each trip.
5. MyCommission
More sales equals more money, and the MyCommission app ($2.99) helps salespeople figure out just how many dollars they'll take home at the end of the day.
The app allows you to enter the account name and status (committed, in upside or are pipeline) of each deal and calculates the resulting commission.
What BlackBerry apps have you found to be helpful in the sales field?

UPDATE: Dallas state District Judge Larry Mitchell handed two-year fully probated suspension for misconduct as defense lawyer
State District Judge Larry Mitchell was handed a two-year fully probated suspension in connection with at least the fourth case of misconduct tied to his decades-long career as a defense attorney.
Mitchell failed to adequately communicate with a convicted felon who hired him for $10,000 and he did not file writs of habeas corpus as the client hired him to do, according to visiting Harris County Judge Josefina Rendon's ruling in favor of the State Bar of Texas.
ORIGINAL POST AT 1:00 P.M.: Things got a bit testy in the courtroom this morning as Dallas state District Judge Larry Mitchell took the stand in his own defense against State Bar of Texas allegations of misconduct tied to his work as a defense lawyer years ago.
Mitchell adamantly defended his work for convicted felon David Shepherd in the years before Mitchell was elected judge of the 292nd District Court in November 2006. The State Bar says Mitchell never filed writs of habeas corpus as his client wanted and did not communicate with Shepherd and his family for more than three years between 2003 and 2006, according to testimony.
"He loved me," Mitchell said of Shepherd, who paid $10,000 for his legal services. "He had full and complete confidence in me."
Shepherd is serving consecutive prison sentences of 60 and 75 years following his 2000 convictions for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping.
Mitchell said he didn't respond to repeated letters from Shepherd for more than three years because the letters all said the same thing and he had nothing new to report to his client. He said he was waiting for new legal precedent to be established that might help form the basis of a legitimate appeal.
"My not writing him did not harm him in any way," Mitchell said.
Visiting Harris County Judge Josefina Rendon, who is presiding over the case, may want to bring her gavel with her when the proceeding continues after the lunch break.
At one point this morning, Mitchell attorney Peter Lesser and State Bar attorney Lisa Holt engaged in a brief and awkward stare down of each other following an objection Holt made on Lesser's line of questioning his client.
Rendon politely asked them to cut it out and reminded them that they are, in fact, lawyers.
Later, Mitchell complained to Rendon that attorney Brian Wice was smirking at him from across the courtroom. Wice is serving as an expert witness for the State Bar and has been sitting with their legal team.
Wice stood up and firmly denied smirking. Rendon was at a loss for words.
"I don't know what to say," she said.
Mitchell had twice been reprimanded for failing to communicate with clients or failure to file a writ of habeas corpus, according to court records. In a third case, he was ordered to undergo professional rehabilitation, also for failing to prepare a writ and for failing to communicate with his client. He has also been ordered to pay thousands of dollars in State Bar attorneys' fees and restitution.
Mitchell could face a range of punishments after the latest complaint, from a reprimand to a rare disbarment. Rendon will determine his fate.
The proceeding continues this afternoon at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building.

Stetson men's basketball head coach Corey Williams has completed his inaugural coaching staff. Mike Jaskulski, Nikita Johnson, and Bert Capel will join the Hatter program as assistant coaches for the 2013-14 season, Williams announced on Thursday.
"They have a wealth of experience," Williams said of his completed staff. "When you look at the mesh of coaches we have now, it's a good mesh. We have experience, we have energy, and we have leadership. That's important, and I think when we put all of our heads together, we'll have a plan that will allow Stetson to compete for a championship."
Jaskulski is a 31-year veteran of the basketball coaching profession. Beginning as an assistant coach at then NAIA member Loras College in 1982, Jaskulski has coached at nearly every level before landing in DeLand to coach alongside Williams. After taking over the head coaching position at Loras, and leading the team to five consecutive National Catholic Basketball Tournament Final Fours, Jaskulski moved up to the Division I ranks at Maine.
Helping to turn the Black Bears into one the premiere teams in what we know now as the America East from 1988-93, Jaskulski then landed at Miami. While with the Canes, from 1993-97, the team recorded three-straight winning seasons, and never finished below fifth in the Big East. It was then that Jaskulski earned his first head coaching gig at the Division I level, taking the reins at Towson. By his final season with the Tigers, Towson had improved its record to 12-17, a win total only matched once by the program since 2001.
Jaskulski took one season away from collegiate basketball to work as an advance scout for the WNBA's New York Liberty. In 2002 he joined the staff at Florida State, where he was a part of bringing in the number one recruiting class in the nation in 2002-03. Over the subsequent three seasons, the Seminoles reached the second round of the NIT twice, which included a 20-10 campaign in 2005-06, the first at FSU since 1996-97.
Moving from Tallahassee to Orlando, Jaskulski continued his storied career at the University of Central Florida as the Knights' Associate Head Coach. While on staff, UCF recorded three consecutive winning seasons spanning 2006-09. The Knights' 22-9 mark in 2006-07 placed them second in Conference USA. After taking over as interim head coach for a couple of months at the end of the 2009-10 season, Jaskulski took a job as an assistant coach at Alabama-Birmingham.
The Blazers won their first ever outright regular season Conference USA Championship with Jaskulski on staff in 2010-11. UAB finished 22-8 and were a 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Following the 2011-12 season, Jaskulski tried his hand at coaching overseas as an assistant coach for the Liaoning Leopards of the Chinese Basketball Association. This past season the Leopards reached the playoffs for the first time since 2009 with an overall record of 19-13.
Jaskulski, also a prominent camp director and clinician across the country over the years, has two daughters with his wife Marcia, Katie (22) and Carly (16). He earned his Bachelor of Arts at St. Norbert College in 1976, and his Master of Science at Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1984.
"Mike understands a program like Stetson," Williams said of Jaskulski. "He's going to be a guy I lean on a lot as it relates to day-to-day operations. His experience is invaluable. It will allow us to reach our full potential, because he's experienced it on a big level and on a lower level as well. Mike knows the ropes. He's recruited all around the world, so he'll allow us to branch out a bit further. He's a coach who understands what it takes to be successful at this level."
Johnson comes to Stetson with plenty of collegiate coaching experience of his own. Highlighted by a trip to the Final Four with LSU in 2006, Johnson's career spans 32 years, most recently as an assistant at Louisiana Lafayette from 2010-12. In 2011-12 the Ragin' Cajuns posted their first winning season in seven years with Johnson on staff.
Prior to that he was the Associate Head Coach at Louisiana Tech from 2007-10. The Bulldogs made an appearance in the College Insider Tournament in 2009-10 after recording 24 wins, the most for La Tech since 1985. It was during Johnson's three-year stint at LSU that he reached the final four with the Tigers, and the team also added a 2004-05 Co-SEC West Division Championship during the stint.
From 1993 to 2004 Johnson spent time on the staffs of Murray State, Duquesne, Tennessee State, and New Orleans. He got his start in college coaching at Chipola Junior College in 1981. After two seasons at Division II's West Georgia, and two more at Odessa College of the NJCAA, Johnson moved to the Division I ranks at Murray State. The Racers collected two Ohio Valley Conference titles, one NIT appearance, and one NCAA Tournament appearance during his time in Kentucky.
Johnson has coached or recruited over 50 players who went on to play professionally – including current NBA players Glen Davis, Tyrus Thomas, Brandon Bass, Mike James, and Anthony Randolph – worked for six coaches who have received Coach of the Year honors, and was voted a top five assistant coach in the Sun Belt Conference.
A native of Greenwood, Florida, Johnson earned regional, all-county, and all-district honors for Marianna High. He helped his team go 76-10 in three seasons, including a pair of runner-up finishes in the Class AAA state playoffs in 1977 and 1978. Johnson earned his Associate of Arts degree at Chipola Junior College in 1981, and his Bachelor of Arts at West Georgia in 1989. He is married to the former Tonya Ramey of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
"Nikita's knowledge of the game speaks for itself," Williams said of Johnson. "He's an unbelievable recruiter, he's a great person, he understands the game, and he'll be able to relate to our players as well as anybody in the country. When you look at the number of coaches he's been up under who have been Coach of the Year, I'm hoping he brings some of that good fortune here to Stetson."
The youngster of the group, Capel joins the Hatter family after serving as an assistant coach at Jacksonville College in Texas this past season. Prior to joining the Jaguars staff, Capel was at Florida State, first as a graduate assistant from 2009-11, and then as the recruiting assistant for the 2011-12 season. Working with Corey Williams and the Seminoles, Capel played a role in everything from scouting reports to individual workouts. During his time at Florida State, Capel was a part of the school's first ever ACC Championship, the 'Noles reached the NCAA Tournament three times, and once made it to the Sweet 16.
Capel began his coaching career at his alma mater, Evangel University in Missouri. From 2006-09 the team posted three-straight 20-win seasons, two national tournament appearances, and was consistently ranked in the top 25 of the NAIA. As a player at Evangel, Capel was a member of the Crusaders' national championship team that finished 35-1 and was ranked #1 throughout the entire year.
A graduate of Heritage Academy in Florence, Ky., Capel was inducted into the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame in 2012 for his accomplishments in both basketball and baseball. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Evangel in 2005, a Master of Arts at Evangel in 2008, and a Master of Science at Florida State in 2011. Capel and his wife, Stacy, have two daughters, Myla (2) and Kinzli (4 months).
"Bert is a very knowledgeable young man, and a rising star in this profession," Williams said of Capel. "He understands individual workouts and skill training. He will do a lot of the day-to-day operations for us, working with and developing our kids, and making sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. Bert's going to be invaluable to us here at Stetson."

I bought the pink one to have my buscard and ID in, and I absolutely love it! It's sturdy and the cards fit perfectly inside! The fact that it's made from recycled items ads a good feeling to me using it.
- May 22, 2014
Too small to hold more than one card on each side. I wanted to use this for a FEW business cards on one side and a credit card and room key card on the other, but could not get even three business cards or two plastic cards to slide in. Needs to be 1/4" wider on each side to hold "ID and a handful of cards". Seems durable though, and looks stylish if I can figure out what it's good for.

These are great for traveling and anytime you need a "skinny wallet". I bought 1 in almost every color and love them all!

Chesapeake City Mirror moved a story in the 5 o'clock hour announcing that a new town manager, Sharon Weygand, has been hired by the town council there. Congratulations to Sharon and also to the south county blogger for keeping the news moving and breaking this story.
PurposeOriginally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren't being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the "411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton" and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media. (see about section for more details.)

Never mind the other definition. Balmung is a character from the whole .hack series. Known as "Balmung of the Azure Sky", he begins as a legendary player in .hack//SIGN, then gradutates to a .hacker, or ultimate hero, in the .hack games. And finally, in .hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT BRACELET, he becomes a manager for The World. Balmung is oh-so-prettiful. ^^
"I became an administrator to protect this World which I love..." Balmung explains when asked why he started playing The World.

Manage your life like a CFO
If you want to save money, you've got to manage your life much like the chief financial officer runs the company where you work.
J.D. Roth of the personal finance blog "Get Rich Slowly" just launched a course that can help you do just that.
The course aims to help you eliminate debt, master your money and achieve financial independence.
It includes a 52-week email series with the best lessons from the Get Rich Slowly blog and a 120-page guide called "Be Your Own CFO" with supplementary downloads.
You'll also find interviews with well-known individuals in the personal finance sector including Jim Wang (the creator of Bargaineering), Ramit Sethi, Pat Flynn, Jean Chatzky, Gretchen Rubin, Mr. Money Mustache, Paula Pant and Adam Baker, to name a few.
After taking a year off, Roth realized that there was an aspect of personal finance he hadn't yet tackled.
"I think it's imperative that people understand that they are responsible for building their own financial future," he says.
It's easy to sit back and take advice from your real-estate agent, broker, banker, family and friends, but Roth notes that the advice isn't always geared toward your best interests.

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders met for the first time Wednesday to discuss plans to dramatically expand casino gambling in New York but came away in agreement that there is still much work ahead.
The sides did tentatively resolve some issues, including agreeing that a new state gambling commission will select developers if new casinos are permitted and vowing that voters will know ahead of any statewide referendum, possibly this fall, what counties will be eligible for at least the first phase of any new Las Vegas-style gambling halls. But when asked for other specifics, lawmakers and Cuomo were mum.
" 'Evolving' is the word of the day if you haven't noticed," Cuomo told reporters as he sat alongside three legislative leaders following a 90-minute meeting in his Capitol office.
A decision on where precisely any new casinos might be located is weeks or months away, though the sides mostly seem to agree that the Catskills – once a major resort destination that has fallen on hard times in recent decades – is in the running.
Whether Western New York will be eligible remains uncertain because the Seneca Nation and the state have an 11-year-old compact giving the tribe exclusive rights to operate casino gambling in a huge portion of the region stretching some 100 miles from Buffalo to Route 14 east of Rochester and from Lake Ontario to the Pennsylvania line. Cuomo has suggested the state will honor that compact, but that could depend on the outcome of the years-old dispute, now in arbitration, that has seen the Seneca Nation withhold more than $500 million in casino revenue-sharing payments to Albany for what it claims has been a breach of that compact.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said last week he wanted lawmakers involved in picking casino development sites and that the decisions not be solely left to the Cuomo administration's new gambling commission. On Wednesday, he seemed comfortable letting the commission, which comes to life this Friday, pick the actual developers, so long as legislation that lawmakers are expected to consider this spring is specific about county locations for the sites.
Cuomo has proposed a first phase of three casinos be located upstate. Voters could be asked this fall to consider a total of seven casinos. But Senate co-leader Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, said he wants a racetrack in Nassau County to be considered, as well.
Silver said the casinos should go into areas "that are depressed, in resort areas and [that] will make the state a lot of money."
Cuomo said the plan will be one of his administration's major ideas this year for improving parts of the upstate economy. "We're not just looking for a casino. We want a resort destination. We want a regional tourist attraction. We want to create jobs," he said.

I'd like to know at what time in my 32 years I degraded to the point that activities I found exhilerating as a child now make me feel as though I'm ready to be put out to pasture.
The hubby and I went bowling last weekend with some friends. Granted, we hadn't been to a bowling alley for at least eight years. We bowled four games, and my leg and back muscles screamed in agony for two days hence.
Since when does bowling hurt? I guess tossing around an 8-pound ball about 80 times (yes, twice per frame for me) could be considered a workout. Especially for someone like me, who doesn't work out.
I guess it didn't help that the following day, before my poor body had a chance to recuperate, we went on an outing to Wagon Trails Animal Park in Vienna.
It was worth sweltering in the 90-degree-plus heat for a chance to sprinkle feed right into a camel's mouth, and it was the first time I've ever been close enough to a bison to reach out and touch it.
It was a good thing that most of the outing took place in a motorized vehicle - less chance of my rusty, weak body collapsing from underuse. (How much time do I now spend on the couch?) It's nice to know that there's a safari right in your own backyard - and people say there's nothing to do in northeast Ohio.
The trip had me reminiscing about other outdoor activities I used to do when I was younger. Among them:
Skateboarding. I never did flips or spins, but I remember sitting on one and rolling down the slope of the concrete walk in front of our house. I'd do it for hours, and it never got old.
Cowboys and Indians. My sister and I would chase each other with our awesome, plastic shotguns (they made an authentic-sounding bang) - I'm not sure who was a cowboy and who was an Indian, or if we even cared.
Roller-skating. I remember how much fun it was when I finally learned how to work them by shifting my weight from side to side. Then roller blades came out, and the "plain" skates got tossed for the newer, faster ones. I doubt I could keep up in a rink with either version these days.
Bicycling. I remember it being way more fun and a lot less difficult. My husband and I got mountain bikes several years ago, and I think we've ridden them twice. (And he used to race BMX bikes in his younger years.)
Hunting for four-leaf clovers. I was content to sit in the grass and stare at the little plants - now whenever I sit down in the grass, I am more worried about what bugs might be crawling on me than I am excavating clovers.
Catching bugs. The best place to look was under the garbage cans - especially the metal one - or the brick edging of the flower bed. I'm not talking lightning bugs, although they were fun to catch, too.
Pine cone harvesting. OK, so it's not a game per se, but my sis and I got paid 10 cents for each cone we rounded up. I now see why my parents came up with this ingenious arrangement.
Taekwondo. I took classes when I was in high school, and I remember it being a ton of fun. I somehow doubt I'd be able to kick half as high now that my tendons have had a 15-year vacation.
Catch, whiffle ball, badminton. The list goes on and on.
I don't want to be inactive, but I like being in pain even less. It seems the older I get, the less energy I have for all that moving around.
And now that I have to pay my own doctor bills, an infected spider bite or sprained knee cost me more than just pain or discomfort.
Being a grown-up is just not as fun as I thought it would be back when I was busy playing house.
What are some of your favorite childhood games? Tell me about it at email@example.com, or comment on this story at www.tribtoday.com.

DUBLIN, February 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r3km49/forensic) has announced the addition of the "Forensic Technologies Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2019" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
Forensic technologies are used for the identification, analysis and evaluation of physical evidence gathered from the crime scene. The collected and analyzed forensic evidence is in turn used in criminal law to prove the guilt or innocence of the defendant. It is oft-quoted in crime/law enforcement fields that, a zero crime rate is a hypothetical situation. Consequently the forensic technologies/services witness a near-perennial demand (although the growth rate may vary depending on all other variables/factors).
The United Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), U.S., have collectively classified physical crime into: Drug offences (includes the illegal possession, cultivation, production, supplying, transportation, importing, exporting and financing of drug operations); Homicide (includes intentional killing of a person/s, including murder, manslaughter, euthanasia and infanticide); Violent crime (physical assault, robbery (stealing by force or threat of force) and sexual offences (including rape and sexual assault)); Property crime (includes domestic burglary and theft of a motor vehicle).
Although, end-to-end analysis of a physical crime case requires a combination of forensic technologies/services, a particular type of physical crime identified can be forensically analyzed by using one major forensic technology/service. For example, Chemicals (drugs/explosives/toxicology) can be analyzed by
chromatography/spectrometry/spectrophotometry/emission spectroscopy. DNA Profiles can be forensically analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, short tandem repeat (STR), mtDNA Profiling and DNA Chip technology.
The forensic technologies market can thus be segmented into types of forensic technologies/services delivered namely, DNA profiling, biometrics/fingerprints analysis, chemical (drugs/explosives/toxicology) analysis and firearms identification and analysis.
Currently, in terms of geography, developed regions such as North America and Europe have a higher market share; but going forward till 2019, Asia-Pacific and RoW regions are expected to gain about 60% market share. Many of the forensic technologies/services such as DNA profiling, biometrics/fingerprints and firearms identification are standardized and automated in North America and Europe. This is likely to result in lower spend/cost per end-to-end crime case analysis and resolution, a decline in value of forensic technologies/services and reduced overall market in terms of value.

Posted Feb 3 2009 10:36PM
GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -- The scoring record at Madison Square Garden lasted more than 24 years, even withstanding a famous challenge from Michael Jordan.
Now LeBron James can seize it from Kobe Bryant after just two days.
Of course, he'll need to score 62 points to do it.
"We set the bar up high for him. He'd have to play really well," New York coach Mike D'Antoni said Tuesday.
Still dazed from Bryant's 61-point performance, the Knicks brace for a visit Wednesday from James, who loves playing in the Big Apple just as much and authored his own 50-point masterpiece here last season.
The NBA's two best players, appearing two nights apart on basketball's biggest stage. Even James, perhaps the MVP front-runner at midseason, will have a tough time matching Bryant's act.
"Last night Kobe made a lot of tough shots," Knicks center David Lee said. "I'm sure LeBron will probably do the same thing and we're going to need to play our best ball."
James, though, promised he won't be gunning for Bryant's mark.
"Hey, man. I just go out and play my game," James said after leading Cleveland to a 101-83 win over Toronto on Tuesday. "I'm not a video game where you can just expect me to go out there and score 60 or 70. I play the game to win the game. I'm not into individual accolades. Kobe Bryant's performance was unbelievable. I watched every second of it. It's not about individuals in this league.
"I'm not trying to outdo Kobe or anybody on their team."
Bryant shattered Bernard King's record of 60 points at the present Madison Square Garden, set on Christmas 1984. Jordan had the top performance by a visiting player, scoring 55 points in 1995 shortly after ending his first retirement.
James also is on the list of 50-point scorers at the Garden, finishing with 50 in Cleveland's 119-105 victory over New York on March 5, 2008. Like Bryant, he was treated to raucous ovations and "MVP!" chants during that game -- along with a fan coming on the court to meet him when James exited for good in the final minute.
And just like Bryant, he always talks about his passion for "the world's most famous arena."
"Every time I come here, it's like a warm feeling just because you know the history," James said in November, before his first visit this season.
"It's not just basketball, everything that ever went on. Concerts, boxing, I mean everything that ever went on at Madison Square Garden. Being a basketball junkie like myself, how could you not love it being in this building?"
New Yorkers still cling to hope that James will someday make it his permanent home.
He could be the marquee free agent in a stellar class in 2010, and the Knicks have positioned themselves for a run at him by clearing salary cap space for that summer. The Knicks still hope to get far enough under the cap to offer maximum deals to two superstars, hoping they can convince a Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade to join James in New York.
"That's a long ways off, so that's not our focus," D'Antoni said. "Our focus is to win that game."
James had only 26 points in his November visit, but he sat out the fourth quarter of Cleveland's 119-101 romp. He's less likely than Bryant to have huge scoring nights because he tries to do so many other things -- he had 10 assists and eight rebounds in his 50-point game here -- but his size and strength could make him a more difficult matchup for the Knicks.
"LeBron can do the same things and he does it with a 6-9, 260-pound body," D'Antoni said. "He not only can get 61, he can hurt you doing it, and that's not good."
D'Antoni has said that if a player wants to be MVP, it helps to play well in New York. Bryant, last season's winner, did his part with the greatest scoring performance Madison Square Garden had seen.
Now it's James' turn, in a place he reveres.
"It's the one remaining building that still has the history," James said. "You think all the way back to Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Willis Reed and all those guys who came through that building, all the way to Patrick Ewing and the great teams they had. To be able to be on the same court that the greats have been on is an honor for me."

Hazard No. 1: Grumpiness
Winter and I don't mix well. Like my favorite jacket, I'm good for three seasons - but for winter, I am not at my best.
Part of it's physical, as my joints begin to ache and the skin on my hands cracks and bleeds when the temperatures dip below 40 F outside.
But a great deal of it is mental and emotional - I can take only so much of the constant gray days, dirty streets, brown, withered grass and grungy snow.
Winter puts me in a dull, gray mood.
And that is why I receive more nominations for "Meanest Mommy in the World" in winter than in any other season.
Hazards Nos. 2, 3 and 4: Weight gain, temporary paralysis, profound lethargy
I think most people understand the concept of "winter weight."
It starts for most of us with the holidays and all the heavy, calorie-rich, abundant foods that usually are on every flat surface of our kitchens, within easy reach. "Oh, just three more - they're small," the little voice inside the tin of homemade treats calls to me each time I walk by. You know what I'm talking about.
To add to the problem, it is more difficult to get motivated to exercise when the weather is cold and the ground is icy.
Winter makes me more motivated to hide under blankets, eat soup and make bread and cookies and meals with gravy.
This gravitation toward a sedentary lifestyle combined with being surrounded by cookies and gravy adds pounds on me.
In fact, I gain anywhere from 11 pounds to 42 pounds the minute I sit in my favorite recliner.
Of course, when I stand up, most of that weight jumps right off, in the form of three dachshunds.
I'm in more serious trouble when my gigantic cat, Wyatt, decides to join the crowd. He doesn't have any qualms about sitting on top of dogs that are unwilling to make room.
Adding that much weight at once is hazardous to one's circulation and can lead to temporary paralysis.
It also is very warm and a good excuse for not getting up to do ... well ... pretty much anything.
Hazards Nos. 5, 6 and 7: Recurrent
near-coma, chronic lateness and a
cold, wet nose
You've heard of "near drowning." It's what happens when one almost dies by drowning. Well, how about "near coma?"
Certain drugs should never be combined, for safety reasons.
Tylenol and alcohol taken together can seriously harm your liver.
Prednisone and ibuprofen combined can give you a stomach ulcer. Sedatives and sleep aids used simultaneously can make you forget to breathe.
I add another combination to avoid: going to bed under a down comforter, tucked into flannel sheets, accompanied by two dachshunds and a twice-normal-sized, purring cat.
A VERY dangerous combination if you intend to regain consciousness without the use of an electric cattle prod.
Fortunately, though I have been reckless enough to engage in this hazardous practice, I have been lucky to wake each morning without needing life support to sustain my vital functions.
See what winter does to me? I am willing to take risks to my own safety to stay warm and comfortable!
Vaguely aware of my surroundings, I hover between sleep and waking in the precious few minutes just before my alarm goes off. As consciousness dawns, a pair of large, amber eyes, just inches from mine, come into focus.
As my alarm sounds and I hit the snooze button, the eyes look deeply, meaningfully into mine, and then squint.
A soft, white paw touches my cheek to the tune of loud, rhythmic purring. So soft, so warm and cozy ... and ... I doze off again. Alarm, snooze, purr ... zzzz.
If that's not enough of a reason to start the day late, winter has one more way to deal a blow.
Sometimes by actual blowing - wind, that is. And delivering icy rain and snow and so on.
Now, anyone who has the enriching experience of walking a dachshund on a leash can attest, anything that falls from the heavens or causes the ground to become soggy or icy or snowy causes delays.
The first delay happens when there ceases to be actual walking, but instead, standing, cowering and shivering.
If you think the sight of a dachshund standing pathetically hunched and trembling in freezing rain at the end of a leash is bad, try walking FOUR dachshunds in a winter storm.
My awesome wind, water and cold-resistant down parka helps me remain as patient as possible, but everybody has limits.
I usually end up muttering nasty things to no-one in particular, while walking up and down my yard, nose cold and dripping, with four sad, bedraggled dogs in tow.
The whole process takes three times as long, and all of us are ready to crawl back into bed when it's finally over.
So that's why in winter, I'm a big, grumpy, lazy, dopey, sleepy, sneezy doc.
I'm not bashful about saying I won't be happy again 'til spring! (Hi-ho.)

The Bishop England Lady Bishops dominated Edisto, 98-23, in the opening round of the SCHSL Class AA playoffs Thursday on Daniel Island.
Bishop England (23-1) turned in a 34-point first quarter, built off 12 points from Michele Boykin, and nine from Mary Harriet Moore.
Nine Lady Bishops scored in the second quarter, while Bishop Englands defense allowed Edisto just one field goal. By the break, four players had scored at least nine points for Bishop England whose lead had ballooned to 51 points.
The Lady Bishops went nearly the entire second half without their starters and were still able to maintain their high defensive intensity. Edisto was limited to two field goals or fewer in each of the first three quarters, finally managing a third goal in the fourth.
Boykin finished with a game-high 24 points. Moore scored 13, Jo Jo Tompkins 10, and McQueeney nine. Tamiya Singleton led Edisto with 10 points but didnt have a teammate score more than six.
Bishop England will host No. 3 seed Academic Magnet Saturday in the second round. Academic Magnet defeated No. 2 Silver Bluff, 33-22, Thursday. Bishop England and Academic Magnet met twice in the Region VI season. The Lady Bishops won both by a combined 79 points.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Todd Not as expected The function was not as expected. Does not allow to set larger times to countdown. May 11, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by SorenK12 Wonky connection This does what it says, but I've had issues with power. The battery connections are a bit touchy and I have had to fiddle with the batteries before each use to get the power to come on. May 1, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wildcat3 This product is great for training It's great to have 5 or 6 exercises planned out, set the timer, and go hard for two minutes, rest one minute, go to the next ! February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Peter3 Works well, thoroughly thought out. Great price for a functional tool. The vibrating option is great and the selector switches for timed intervals are simple, quick to change, low-tech so less to worry about breaking and I ma sure how the cost is kept so low.

Rated 5 out of 5�by megjzj the product is easy to use I didn't need to read the directions. It was very simple to operate. I like the option of either clipping it on your clothing or using the velcro arm band. I wish it had a 45 second option & a 15 second rest option. But other than that, I have no complaints. It works great! May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bluebikefitness Good for personal and one on one workouts Good for timing intervals when working out on your own or one on one with a trainer. It is a little too quiet to be heard in a Boot Camp class. April 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Poly-Tech Not Bad For Mini Tasks I use this thing when I'm doing Circuit Training at the gym. I like that I can time each SET for 2-minutes, and then time each REST for up to 120 seconds also. I like that this timer keeps my heart rate up. The only bad thing it that the timing intervals are too close for other types of exercises. For other things the Timer on my I-Phone works better. January 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dickey Great timer I use the timer to time therapist ordered eye exercises. It works perfectly... June 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5�by Rick Not good for HIIT type training This timer's smallest intervals were 1 min for drill and 30 seconds for rest. So, it won't work for Tabata type workouts. October 16, 2011

Neubauer has spent much of the last 30 years traveling all over Nepal, speaks the language fluently, and has handled and coordinated events in Nepal ranging from documentaries to weddings. Her experiences there inspired her to found Rural Education and Development (READ Global) in Nepal in 1991 as the nonprofit arm of Myths and Mountains.
Now an independent 501(c)3 organization based in San Francisco, READ builds Community Library Resource Centers, seeds local businesses to fully sustain and support the centers, and links them with organizations providing literacy, health/HIV, microcredit, women's empowerment and other needed services in rural communities across Nepal, Bhutan and India.

MORGANTOWN - Joe Madsen came to West Virginia University five years ago with dreams of playing offensive guard. But since his move to center, he has experience a recurring nightmare.
"I have had these nightmares of snapping the ball and breaking (quarterback Geno Smith's) fingers and having the whole state of West Virginia hate me," he said with a laugh.
Madsen has seen the best of the Mountaineer quarterbacks, both Pat White and
Geno Smith with Jarrett Brown sandwiched in between. Admittedly, it's been a pretty unique view of the group from a perspective that only a center can have.
"Those were guys you looked up and wanted to emulate," he said. "You want to stand up with those guys."
Not that he hasn't enjoyed watching receiver and now running back Tavon Austin make opposing defenses grasp for ghosts. But he said he learned a lesson last week from admiring Austin's exploits too long.
"I got laid out in the Iowa State game," Madsen said. "I was watching Tavon make people look silly, and then, bam! I got blown up. That's when I thought that maybe I should be paying a little more attention."
Madsen has been a four-year starter at center for the Mountaineers after being red-shirted in his first year on the Morgantown campus.
His 49 starts is the most on the team, and he has been selected this year as a second-team mid-season All-America lineman by Phil Steele, CBSSports.com and SI.com.
He was recruited by former coach Rich Rodriguez, and he was in the room when Rodriguez announced that he had "signed a contract to stay here forever."
"Then he didn't," Madsen said.
He went through the tumultuous coaching change that led to Bill Stewart's departure and Dana Holgorsen's arrival a year earlier than expected.
"We stuck together as a team, even with the coaching changes," he said. "We stepped up and worked harder."
Saturday's game against Kansas will be his final game at Mountaineer Field, and he said he will probably be as speechless as he was when he was a shy freshman
new to the campus.
"After the game is when it will probably hit us," Madsen said. "The seniors will probably come together in the locker room and shed a few tears.
"But after the first play, it will be right back to the same old me," he added.
"I want to go out and play my best game ever and have no regrets when I walk off that field."

Lockcuff remembered as great coach, better man
January 25, 2013 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Brett Michaels was still in junior high, but he remembers the match so vividly that best exemplified the coach, and the man, that Phil Lockcuff was.
Lockcuff's Shikellamy wrestling team, the No. 1 Class AAA team in the state, was hosting North Schuylkill, the No. 1 Class AA team. And just after weigh-ins, North Schuylkill standout Chris Rickard, who eventually became a state champion, was informed by Spartans head coach Joe Cesari his younger brother had committed suicide earlier in the day.
When it came time for Rickard's spot in the lineup to take the mat, North Schuylkill didn't have a wrestler to send out in Rickard's place. Lockcuff pulled his wrestler back from the mat, refusing to take the six points for the forfeit, even in such a big match.
"That kind of thing speaks volumes," Michaels said. "Especially now in this day and age when everyone is so concerned about wins and losses and their magnitude."
Lockcuff, the longtime head wrestling coach at Shikellamy High School, died Thursday night at the age of 75. Lockcuff was a 1955 graduate of South Williamsport High School and was inducted to both the Pennsylvania and National Wrestling Halls of Fame in 1995 and 1998.
As the head wrestling coach at Shikellamy from 1974 to 1996, Lockcuff compiled a 348-74-6 record. He won Class AAA state championships in 1984, 1985 and 1995 and coached 12 individual state champions.
"During his time as a coach at Shikellamy, he made the standard for this area as far as wrestling," Warrior Run head coach Wayne Smythe said. "His program was a very good program. They always performed well and they were always a challenge for others in the area to rise to that level."
But for all his accomplishments as a wrestling coach, Lockcuff was remembered Friday as a far better man, one who never had a negative word to say about anyone. Following his coaching career, he began calling Shikellamy wrestling matches as an analyst for WKOK in Sunbury.
"He was always a gentleman. He treated everyone with respect," said Tom Elling, publisher of Pennsylvania Wrestling News, who knew Lockcuff since his time as an assistant coach at Shikellamy. "He carried that on to his broadcasting with Steve Williams. He was just always praising people, whether Shik beat the team they wrestled, or the team beat Shik. He always had good words to say about both team. I'm really honored to have known him."
Despite his success as a wrestling coach, Lockcuff didn't wrestle in either high school or college. He lettered in football, basketball and baseball at South Williamsport, and was a three-year letterwinner in football and baseball at Bloomsburg University.
He was inducted into the Bloomsburg University athletic Hall of Fame in 1995.
"His story is incredible. It's something that will never be repeated again," said Michaels, now an assistant wrestling coach at Lycoming College. "He was able to achieve what he achieve through motivational tactics and caring about the kids."
"He'd probably admit that he wasn't the greatest technician in the world, but he was a student of the sport," Elling said. "He surrounded himself with good people and learned the sport inside and out. And to be successful when the competition was so keen and there were so many great coaches ... He went through that Northeast Region, too, with District 11 and often times brought multiple guys to states.
"I think his kids genuinely loved him, and the old cliche of running through a brick wall for him. He elicited that kind of thing without being a rah rah kind of guy. He was so genuine that his wrestlers loved and respected him. They would do whatever he said and whatever it took to win."
Lockcuff stayed involved in the sport through his broadcasting, but he never forced himself upon the coaches at Shikellamy who came after him. Michaels said he would often approach Lockcuff to pick his brain about certain subjects. Michaels wrestled for Lockcuff and said he knew him since he "was in diapers". He also liked the challenge of living up to the high standards he left with the Shikellamy wrestling program.
"His influence was paramount. I learned so much on how to approach the sport from him," Michaels said. "He loved to win, but at the same time, he realized sportsmanship was relevant and a priority. He did what was right. He was a mentor in many respects, beyond just on the mat."
Lockcuff's mark on District 4 wrestling in indelible. He's responsible for more than half of Shikellamy's all-time wrestling wins. He's one of five District 4 coaches with at least 348 career wins.
But from the stories shared following his death, his mark was made well beyond the wrestling mat.
"I'd be happy and I'd feel like I made an accomplishment if I could be half the man he was," Michaels said. "It's a cliche that's thrown around too often, but I've never been around anybody like him."

"I wanted to showcase the hills."
January 26, 2011
It's a one-day bicycle ride around Pittsburgh. It covers 13 very steep hills. It's a test of strength, endurance, biking skills and human perseverence. It's called the DIRTY DOZEN. It was started in 1983 by Danny Chew, his brother and some of their friends. It's now a Pittsburgh tradition and an extraordinary celebration of our city's terrain!

Every so often during Bobby Hurley's 23-minute introductory news conference at the University at Buffalo on Tuesday, the ring on his right hand would glimmer in the Alumni Arena lights.
"It's my national championship ring from Duke," he said, showing it off 21 years after earning it. "It's from the second title. Back-to-back."
Hurley said all the right things, thanked the right people and even gave a nod to Reggie Witherspoon, a rare move during a customary media meet-and-greet, defying what seems almost a taboo by crediting the previous coach. There has always been something special about Hurley. And while one can argue whether he's qualified to run UB's basketball program, there's little disputing that he's a winner.
And UB, which never got over the hump and into the NCAA Tournament under Witherspoon, has never made a more celebrated hire than Robert Matthew Hurley.
"The University at Buffalo has a tremendous amount of potential and has a chance to take off," said Hurley, who was named the program's 12th head coach Tuesday. "We need someone to take it to another level and I'll do that with the guys on a daily basis."
He was a McDonald's All-American while playing for his father, Bob Hurley Sr., at St. Anthony's High School in Jersey City, N.J. He led the team to four consecutive Parochial B state championships. Hurley was a four-year starter at Duke for Mike Krzyzewski, playing in the national championship game three times and winning twice while earning Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors in 1992. He remains the NCAA's career assists leader.
"I am incredibly happy for Bobby and for the Buffalo basketball program," Krzyzewski said in a statement released by Duke. "What a great marriage it will be for Bobby to work with Danny White. The two will form an incredible team that will take Buffalo basketball to another level of success. Bobby Hurley is as good of a competitor and the equal of any guard to play in the history of college basketball."
Said Duke All-American Christian Laettner, the Angola native and a former teammate of Hurley's at Duke: "I couldn't be happier for Bobby. It's my hometown, so I'm excited for the city of Buffalo and UB. You are getting a 'Class A' person and character and a 'Class A' in terms of basketball knowledge. I don't want to put pressure on him, but I'm expecting the basketball program to improve because Bobby is a great coach."
The search was kept under wraps and when Hurley walked into the UB locker room to meet the players, there were more than a few surprised looks that the Bulls' next coach is one of the greatest players in college basketball history.
"He's going to get to know us and we're going to get to know him as time goes on," said UB sophomore Will Regan, the Nichols School product. "He was just trying to let us know how he felt about everything and his opinion on everything. From what I can tell, it's going to be good. He told us right away that he believes in us."
Hurley appeared destined for NBA success. Witherspoon has video of Hurley blowing by John Stockton when the 1992 Dream Team prepared for the Olympics against a group of college stars. But his pro career was derailed by a car accident that nearly killed him during his rookie year with Sacramento in 1993. He was never the same player, but he persevered through 1998 before going into business owning thoroughbred race horses.
"When I played the game, because I maximized my ability and used my basketball IQ and all the things that point guards do to be a success, I always thought that would translate well into coaching," he said. "Coaching is more than just playing the game and understanding the game. It's about motivating, it's keeping things fresh, ideas fresh, drills fresh, ways the guys are going to enjoy playing for me."
Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman, who along with Jason Kidd led California to an upset over Duke in 1993 that ended Hurley's collegiate career, expects Hurley to be successful.
"He's got lineage," Bozeman said. "His dad has been a head coach, he was a high school All-American, a college All-American, played for Krzyzewski in that system. Bobby has a great basketball mind. He always jokes with me that I'm the guy that ended his career but I tell him I didn't do it, [Kidd] did it. I think he'll do well."
Still, UB is gambling on a coach who has been in the business just three seasons. He was an assistant coach under his brother, Danny, at Wagner for two seasons and this past season at Rhode Island. Other than a stint as a scout with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003, Hurley's coaching resume is flimsy.
Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg, who didn't have any coaching experience prior to taking the job at his alma mater, is an example for Hurley to follow.
"He's played a lot of basketball and growing up in a house where you're a coach's son, it's almost natural," Bozeman said. "How long was Andy Enfield on the bench? How long was Danny Manning?" he said, referring to the coaches at Florida Gulf Coast and Tulsa.
"They've made the transition. I'm not saying everybody can do it but clearly they did it. These are guys with high basketball IQs and that definitely helps."
UB Athletic Director White said he was convinced about Hurley during the interview process, which included a phone conversation last Tuesday, and an interview Sunday. He offered him the job Monday.
"We looked at his whole life experience and certainly having experience as an assistant coach is important but if you take his knowledge of basketball, even after his NBA career, it would be pretty competitive with a lot of coaches," White said. "Anybody who plays in the NBA for a significant period of time, particularly at the point guard position, has to know basketball."
And Hurley has the ring to prove it.

WASHOE COUNTY, Nev. - Calling his first 90 days in the Washoe County School District "truly insightful and meaningful," Superintendent Pedro Martinez has established an action plan that includes a number of areas upon which the district will deepen ongoing efforts to improve public education in Washoe County.
"I have spent many hours during my first 90 days listening to and learning from our community, parents, staff and students," Martinez said. "It is apparent to me that, as a district, we need to focus more deeply on existing initiatives so that they are implemented systematically. Instead of scattering our efforts over a number of different initiatives without mastering them, I want to delve more deeply and meaningfully in programs that are currently creating a lasting, positive impact on our students and schools."
The district continues to follow the tenets of the strategic plan, Envision WCSD 2015 - Investing In Our Future, and Martinez said that plan provides a clear path for the years ahead. But a number of challenges remain, and Martinez believes those areas merit further examination.
The following are several highlights from Martinez's action plan:
• District staff will continue to create a personal academic plan for each high school senior who may not graduate due to identified risk factors. These plans include interventions, tutoring and additional support for each student with the goal of graduating them on time.
• The district will identify an additional 800 seniors whose risk factors indicate they will not graduate on time, and they will be enrolled as fifth-year seniors using a variety of tools and programs already available.
• District staff will expand efforts to build academic personal plans for third through eighth grade students who are non-proficient. These efforts include school-day and after-school programs, tutoring and weekend support.
• The existing Signature Academy program will expand to include one academy at each high school for the fall of 2013-2014. Each academy will create agreements with UNR and/or TMCC to ensure the academy programs are directly aligned into higher education degree programs. The District is also developing a preliminary multi-year plan to expand and align Signature Academies to the middle school level.
• District staff will collaborate with the Gifted and Talented Advisory Council to update the GATE program's strategic plan to expand the breadth and scope of gifted programming so that it continues to meet the cognitive, social and emotional needs of gifted students.
• Two-way immersion programs and in-class supports for English Language Learners will be redesigned and expanded to better meet the needs of these students. Special education programs will also be redesigned to provide greater coordination of services and more flexibility for the instruction of special education students who are attending school in general education classrooms.
• The district will expand and strengthen efforts to engage families in supporting their children in school, establishing goals for increasing participation in Parent University and offering Parent U courses in core topics like Common Core State Standards, graduation requirements, and college readiness. Academic parent-teacher teams will share more data through Infinite Campus, Parent Portal outreach, and academic personalized plans in an effort to ensure dialogue and communication between parents and instructors.
• District staff will continue to work closely with the Student Advisory Board to address bullying issues and create a diversity and acceptance campaign.
• Staff will also ensure that cultural competency is embedded in the professional development plan district-wide.
"We will continue to work within the strategic plan as we have for several years now, and it will guide us in the areas where we want to make our greatest strides," said Ken Grein, president of the WCSD Board of Trustees. "Now is the time to take a closer look at where we are, where we need to be, and how this plan can work most effectively to achieve the high goals we have set for the District."
