The Characteristics and Fate of Take Me Over Firms

September 29, 2008
We investigate 400 firms that publicly advertise a desire to be acquired ("take-me-over" or TMO firms) from 1990 to 2006. Over this period the TMO "wave" lags about one year behind the acquisition wave. Most TMO firms show evidence of high debt levels as well as fundamental underperformance relative to industry peers. The TMO announcement significantly increases the odds of receiving a subsequent takeover offer. On average, TMO firms enjoy positive abnormal returns over the five days surrounding their announcement; however, average abnormal returns over the year following their announcement are significantly negative, suggesting that the TMO announcement signals bad news that is not fully anticipated by the market.

Ask your ISP. They will quote you a price for a business-oriented,
rather than consumer-oriented, account.
There are also ISPs that use static IP addresses with their
consumer-grade accounts.
Another option is to use one of the DNS services targeted at dial-up

Consult the Yellow Pages for money-making books
Like any antique, the value of a good old book increases with age. Just last December a slim 36-page manuscript entitled Codex Leicester, by Leonardo da Vinci, was sold on London's auction block to Occidental Petroleum President Armand Hammer for a record $5.1 million. Don't expect that much from run-of-the-press first editions, but books can be sound investments. While bookstores sometimes stock rarities, many listed below specialize in them and will send catalogs upon request.

Lawyer wants answers over horn-honking ticket
Officer skipped traffic hearing, lawyer says
A central Florida attorney wants a DeLand police officer to show up in court to explain why he skipped a traffic hearing after pulling him over for "impolitely" honking his horn.
It began in February when Detective Christopher Jusick stopped Michael Lambert and gave him a warning for honking his horn at him after the traffic light turned green.
Lambert, a criminal defense attorney, told the officer he wanted a ticket instead of a warning.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the attorney then subpoenaed the officer to appear at an April 16 hearing. He didn't show and now Lambert has filed a motion ordering Jusick to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt for not appearing.
Jusick declined comment to the newspaper.
Lambert says he's seeking justice.

Auto DOP and Queuing Parameter Settings
By Jean-Pierre Dijcks-Oracle on Feb 14, 2011
In anticipation of some of the questions that will come out of this week's Rocky Mountain Oracle User Group Training Days, I decided to publish some of the parameter settings/best practices.
Reference Configuration
Just so I do not have to describe too much here, I've picked some internal homework we started to do. The reference configuration is an Exadata Database Machine X2-2. The data sheet for the machine is here.
The assumptions for the configuration settings below are:
- Conservative settings to get you going - you will change some of these as you see your tests and workloads run with the parameters
- Better safe than sorry, so nothing very daring
- Not aimed at delivering the latest drop of performance, instead aimed at reasonable DOPs and reasonable concurrency
- Aiming at staying well within the realms of capabilities in terms of parallel processes
- Data Warehouse only
The settings in the table below are per INSTANCE. For a full rack the aggregated cluster wide number is multiplied by instance count (8 in this case). In the table below you see a number of parameters. The gray ones are not directly relevant to Auto DOP and queuing controls, but are worthwhile keeping an eye on. Note that we leave parallel_max_servers default (on X2-2 it would come to 240).
For the full machine, just as an example, parallel_servers_target = 8 * 128 = 1024, or 1024 parallel processes in use for the entire cluster before we start queuing parallel statements.
Parallel_degree_limit is per query, so it is not aggregated across the cluster. The * is to indicate the changes that come into play when you use Database Resource Manager. If you do so, the system wide setting in this table should be raised as the settings in DBRM are now leading. In this case you should view (and thus raise) parallel_degree_limit as your safety net for queries that do not go into a resource plan or group.
For a full rack (again on a per instance level) setting parallel_degree_limit to 64 sounds very reasonable.
Explaining These Settings
Stay tuned for more... recordings describing the above data are coming soon!

More programs than not in the realm of classical music focus on monuments of the repertoire, with a few excursions into the unfamiliar or unknown. The Kronos Quartet has always taken a completely different path, as was evident during the ensemble's concert Friday at the Cleveland Museum of Art's Gartner Auditorium.
Part of the museum's Viva! & Gala series, the program featured works by American, Indian, Syrian, Vietnamese, Swedish and Serbian composers. It was a multi-cultural feast ripe with sonic flavors and played with the sense of daring that long has been a Kronos hallmark.
Concerts by this curious quartet are far more than recitations of the music at hand. The San Francisco-based Kronos uses lighting effects to enhance mood and emotion. The musicians – violinists David Harrington and John Sherba, violist Hank Dutt, cellist Jeffrey Zeigler – play through amplification, not in rock-band fashion, but with subtle doses to promote clarity of texture within the ensemble and in balance with taped sequences.
The most impressive piece on Friday's program came last, Aleksandra Vrebalov's "…hold me, neighbor, in this storm…" In this audacious and affecting score, the Serbian composer evokes traumas and joys experienced by the Balkan people during the 20th century.
Vrebalov employs a vast soundscape in her jolting portrayal of violence, courage and defiance. Along with the intense interplay of the string quartet and occasional colorations of ethnic instruments, the narrative is catapulted by a tape of church bells, a woman singing a folk song and the chilling sound of exploding bombs. The performance seized the ears and sent the audience into the night with much to ponder.
Several other pieces commanded attention. Bryce Dessner's "Aheym," the Yiddish word for "Homeward," makes its presence known through insistent rhythmic figures, overlapping phrases and nuanced string devices, including bouncing bows and harmonics.
In Dan Becker's "Carrying the Past," a world premiere, 1920s big-band music on tape is the glue that holds together a narrative of nostalgic fluctuation. The writing is mildly minimalist, with chugging passages and accents that energize Becker's vibrant images.
The night's softest piece was Laurie Anderson's "Flow," in an arrangement by Jacob Garchik. Nothing much happens beyond slow dabs of tonal serenity, but the music has the magical ability to suspend time.
Time is also an element in Steve Reich's "WTC 9/11," which blends the quartet with tapes of a beeping phone and voices of air-traffic controllers and others who experienced the horror that day. As tidbits of conversations play, the strings mirror the voices and merge with phantom quartets on the tape. But the piece is strangely ineffective, lacking a compelling or lucid trajectory.
Kronos devoted a portion of the concert's second half to folk music requiring equal measures of flamboyance and sweetness. Exhilaration is rampant in Syrian composer Omar Souleyman's "I'll Prevent the Hunters from Hunting You," with its wild violin flights, and Vietnamese composer Kim Sinh's "Running Water," in which first violin plays sliding modal figures and second violin taps on strings with a chopstick.
And then there was a tradition Swedish song, "A Thousand Thoughts," which brought out the poets in an ensemble that has always savored its artistic mission as global storyteller.

In what will easily go down as one of the best moments of this mammoth sports day, the kids from Sandy Hook Elementary kicked off Super Bowl Sunday with a tear-jerking performance of "America the Beautiful."
The group of youngsters from Sandy Hook—the location of the late-2012 shooting massacre—appeared on the field dressed in all white with big, bright smiles on their faces.
From Michael Gelhken:
Statement from Sandy Hook chorus: "Our wish is to demonstrate to America and the world that, 'We are Sandy Hook and We Choose Love.'"— Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) February 4, 2013
R&B star Jennifer Hudson joined them, and the choir put on a Super Bowl-opening performance that will undoubtedly be remembered forever.
It was met with cheers, goosebumps and tears all around.
It's difficult to imagine that there were many dry eyes at the Superdome, either, as the young, innocent kids singing about how beautiful their country is couldn't have served as a more perfect moment.
In fact, Jeff Legwold of The Denver Post noted that it might just be one of the best moments ever:
Watching the Sandy Hook choir take their place just might be my all-time favorite Super Bowl moment.— Jeff Legwold(@Jeff_Legwold) February 3, 2013
You can't argue with that.
It's important to never forget the victims of the heinous crimes, but this wonderful, moving, absolutely perfect moment was another reminder that sports can sometimes help those affected work through the difficult times.
As ESPN's Twitter account stated, it was a performance that will transcend everything else on Sunday:
The Sandy Hook Elementary Choir already won Super Bowl MVP. What a moment.— ESPN (@espn) February 3, 2013
There is simply no doubting that.
This was a perfect performance that came at the ideal time following an unthinkable tragedy. The young kids' performance was almost a surreal moment, and it's difficult to think of anything that could have been better.

Riverboat destroyed by vandals
by Lisa Allen
Valley View Editor
DUVALL--The sandsculpture crafted on the Duvall beach over the July 25, 26 weekend as part of the Sandblast event was destroyed by vandals shortly after it was completed.
The creation was a replica of the riverboat Black Prince, that brought supplies to the area around the turn of the century.
Sandsculptors spent over two days creating the replica. Sandblast organizer Sunny Ruthchild said the destruction happened on Monday night, the first night it was left unguarded.
Not only did the vandals wreck the sandsculpture, but they threw all her shovels in the river, she said.
She added they also destroyed the "art walk" along the Snoqualmie River trail.
"The riverboat was beautiful," she said. "It looked very authentic. This was just vicious vandalism."

I've tried to get a response on the german v french debate since I have to decide on one for a-level and can't decide with doing both out of the question. I recently spoke to my Head of Languages and German teacher,who said German is more difficult so more presdigous to have, and can double your salary (hmmmm??? yea i made a face when she said that) and only clever people do it so my class will be good. Also, when it comes to Law, French is a common language so deling with French clients requires no specialist skill whereas a German client requires someone with the rare and special German fluency. That's the message i'm feeling anyway.
What do you think? Will choosing French over German halt my chances and close dooors german would open?
Is German more highly looked upon?
I enjoy French more but apparantly it is a waste to do it instead of German.
I've been told I am just as good in both predicted A* at GCSE got full UMS A* in unit 1 and 2 modules (reading and listening) in January results.
Any help appreciated

I'd actually say its the other way round, French has more international application in the legal world than German. This is because some of the leading international arbitration institutions are based in Paris, Francophone Africa uses French and French is more commonly used in the EU. I also hear on the grapevine that (gross generalisation) French clients are the only type of client that like to use their language over English.
For the most part it doesn't matter, you are going to be working in English anyway. Do the language you are most interested in and prefer to study.

In a major defeat for the Christie administration, a Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday that last year's deep aid cuts did not permit New Jersey's schools to provide the "thorough and efficient education" required by the state's constitution.
Judge Peter Doyne's 96-page advisory report that opened with an allusion to Shakespeare's Henry V did not suggest what action should follow. The Bergen County jurist left those "more daunting questions" to the Supreme Court.
Depending on what the high court decides - and it could decide to order no action - the matter could have significant financial repercussions for the state.

American Werewolf in London, An
David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are travelling through Europe when they come to a small town in the English countryside nearby London. The people there are all but friendly and both guys decide to go further eventhough it's night time. A little later, they get overtaken by a wolf-life creature that kills Jack while David gets saved by the villagers who finally decided to save the travellers. A little later, David wakes up in a London hospital where he meets a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter) with whom he falls in love.
However, as full moon gets closer, David starts to notice some changes on himself and realises he's turning into a werewolf.
Sound and Vision:
An American Werewolf in London is an old movie but this Blu-ray does a fine job cleaning things up. There's still some print defects, grain and noise present but the colors have been brightened up, the level of detail is better, there's noticeable depth and overall this disc does a fine job seeing the source material. Even the edge enhancement that was present in the latest DVD has been removed.
We get a new DTS-HD track that nicely supports the movie with good use of the surround speakers during scare effects. Just like with the image quality we can only say Universal has done a good job seeing what they were working with.
– Documentary: "Beware the Moon"
– Making An American Werewolf In London, An Original Featurette
– Audio Commentary
– Interview with John Landis
– Make-up artist Rick Baker on An American Werewolf In London
– Casting Of The Hand
– Outtakes
– Storyboards
Most of the extras contain stuff that comes from the "Beware the Moon" documentary but seeing as that one lasts 90 minutes, it shouldn't come as a surprise. Still, a nice pack of extras and definitely worth checking out.
An American Werewolf in London is a horror cult-classic and although it can look a bit outdated compared to modern day movies, this new Blu-ray does it some justice. The image and sound have been upgraded compared to the previous DVD releases and we get some nice extras that top things off. If you haven't seen the movie yet, or don't have it on DVD, this Blu-ray is the version to get.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Avastin May Stop Rectal Cancer Spread
April 15, 2008 (San Diego) -- Adding the cancer drug Avastin to standard treatment stopped cancer spread in 22 of 24 patients with rectal tumors, researchers report.
The patients were given Avastin, chemotherapy, and radiation prior to surgery to have their tumors removed. Three years later, all the patients were alive and 91% had no signs their disease was getting worse.

And none had new cancer growth in the area of the original tumor, says Rakesh Jain, PhD, the Andrew Werk Professor of Tumor Biology at Harvard Medical School.
"I know of no other therapy in this patient population where we can even get close to 100% tumor control. Although this needs to be confirmed in a randomized trial against a placebo group, these are very impressive numbers," he says.
Avastin was one of several drugs that took center stage during the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer research this week. Other researchers report that a drug that starves tumors of their blood supply shows promise for the treatment of one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer.
Still other researchers have had early success turbo-charging the body's own immune system to fight prostate cancer.

Avastin is already approved to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, advanced lung cancer, and metastatic breast cancer.
Its cancer-fighting abilities have been attributed to its ability to prevent tumors from growing new blood vessels, thereby choking them to death.
The new research in rectal cancer patients suggests that it works in another remarkable way as well: It also repairs remaining blood vessels, Jain tells WebMD.
"Some of the blood vessels are pruned away immediately. But the vessels that remain become less abnormal. This creates a less hostile environment so radiation and chemotherapy can work better," he says.
The researchers monitored the repair of blood vessels using imaging scans and blood tests for biomarkers known to be involved in cancer growth, according to Jain.
Experimental Drug Shows Promise for Brain Cancer
In a second study, the experimental drug cediranib helped shrink tumors and prolong the lives of people with a relatively common but often fatal type of brain cancer called glioblastoma.

'Cats collect first wins sans Martinz
Jason Ferguson
Published: Thursday, January 10th, 2013
The Custer High School boys basketball team took to the floor for the first time this season without one of its main scoring threats, senior point guard Cody Martinz, and came away with a pair of wins, the most recent one a 70-65 win over Lead-Deadwood on the road last Saturday.
In both of last week's games, the opposing teams did the predictable—focusing their defensive effort on Chase Glazier and forcing other Wildcats to step up. Against the Golddiggers, Lead-Deadwood had one defender devoted to chasing Glazier around. In the week's earlier game against Hill City the Rangers took it to an even higher extreme, devoting two defenders to hounding Glazier.
Glazier was sporadic in both games, but other Wildcats did enough to help the team win both games.
"Chase had trouble with it, both mentally and physically," Custer head coach Larry Luitjens said of the other teams' defensive strategy. "He had a lot more trouble with it than I thought he would."
Against Lead-Deadwood, it was Logan Burns who came to the rescue, going from role player to star over the course of the game, pouring in 20 points, includings six three pointers, while also dishing out five assists, collecting five steals and snaring four rebounds.
"He played really, really well," Luitjens said. "That's a career for most people."
Kenneth Myers took over point guard duties and had 19 points and nine assists, while Glazier went for 18, including some big free throws and a basket down the stretch to help put the game away.

When the face-painting lady at a recent event in our local park asked Koopa in the gentlest of voices, "So what do you want to be, sweetie?" I had a suspicion that she thought she was talking to a girl. But when she added "Do you want to be a… butterfly?", I had my suspicion confirmed.
Isn't it creepy that I could tell this merely by her intonation and by her choice of pattern (because, as we all know, butterfly is not a manly enough creature for a boy to have painted on his face)?
But I was happy she made that assumption because it brought Koopa into the range of options that he actually likes. He seriously considered her suggestion for a couple of seconds and then opted for a different insect: a dragonfly.
Now that the summer is finally officially here and Koopa is free to run around hatless with his long hair and with pink shoelaces on his running shoes, everybody just assumes that he is a girl. It took me some time to realize this. The other day the two of us came to a playground and took our shoes off to walk barefoot in the sand. Then I heard a little girl playing nearby gasped to her mom, "Mom, how can that girl put her feet in the sand?" (probably because it was still a bit chilly), and I was totally convinced she was referring to me. Of course I was a bit puzzled (she's 5 and I'm 31: is it possible that she is referring to me as a 'girl'?). But there was nobody else around, and I considered myself the closest to a 'girl' in that setting, so I just concluded that I looked particularly good that day, and went on about my business. It's only later, on our way home, that it struck me that she was likely referring to Koopa, not to me.
But now I know. My initial impulse was to correct everybody adamantly: "He's a BOY! Can't you SEE?" But then I thought, who cares. Koopa certainly doesn't seem to care. One evening when we were discussing different hairstyles, he said simply "And my hair looks like a girl's", and I didn't detect any note of regret or resentment in his voice. I said "Yeah, I guess, because many girls have long hair?" He replied, "Yeah." "But boys do to, you know, just not as often", I added. He said "Yeah, I know." And that was it.
So he doesn't seem to care, it seems. He does get upset though when some ignorant adult confuses his elevator with a can opener.

Flying Leathernecks (1951)
Face it, just about any war movie made in the fifties starring John Wayne is going to be considered a classic. By default. 1951's Flying Leathernecksis deserving of the title regardless of the main character's name.
The story is a pretty standard war-time fare, about a squadron of Marine fighter pilots in WWII Pacific waters, fighting the Japanese menace. What makes this picture stand out, though is its hard line take on the reality of war, and the toll it takes on everybody from the newest green horns to the most seasoned and scarred veterans.
Major Dan Kirby (John Wayne) is the gruff but still somewhat understanding commander, who tends to take the sometimes uncomfortable path of playing by the book. We see this dichotomy early on when he first takes command of the squadron, and overlooks some of the more harmless shenanigans of his men. When it comes down to it, though, he uses some unfortunate events to drill home the facts to his Marines.
His "counter" is Captain Carl "Griff" Griffin (Robert Ryan) who disagrees with the hardline nature of Kirby, and as such keeps getting passed over for command of this squadron. In the end he comes to understand why Kirby is the way he his, I think, not that he likes it any better.
The reality of the situation is that Kirby has a job to do, which is to order men into battle and ultimately to their deaths. He has to struggle with this every day, and the final conversation between Kirby and Griffin bears this out.
There's also a lot of humor from the pilfering Line Chief Sgt. Clancy (Jay C. Flippen), but I'm betting that's just there to keep the tone a bit lighter than it otherwise would have been. And that is probably a good thing.
Another aspect of this film that shines is the brilliant editing of documentary footage into the action. A lot of those images were (and still are) pretty harsh reminders of the danger these guys had to deal with. And there's plenty of airborne dogfighting and ground support action to be had.
Speaking of, part of this film seems to try to document the struggle to get the Marine brass to accept the role of close air support in ground combat operations. I found that an interesting statement to be making in a film of this era, and seems to echo sentiments that exist about tactics to this very day.
We also see a side of Kirby that puts him down to earth with the rest of us, his connection to his wife and kids back home, and how they deal with his service.
If you're in the mood for a great piece of aviation action that falls somewhere between the flag-waving and the dark-and-dirty then Flying Leathernecks is one to see.

Flying Leathernecks!!........cool flying.........go Marines,
A Kid's Review
Flying Leathernecks is one of my favorite war dramas to watch on a boring, rainy, summer day. John Wayne is a Marine avatior who drives his men to the edge during training and in the war, installing hatred in their hearts againist him, especially his second in command, played by Robert Ryan, who clashes with Wayne, but goes easy on the squad. Later in the movie, Wayne teaches Ryan the importance of being hard and rough on the squad. This movies should have got some Oscar nominations for
Best Actor: John Wayne
Best Cinematography
Best Supporting Actor: Robert Ryan and for
Best Special Effects.
If you were in the Marine Corps, and if you want to see some old war planes, like Corsairs, Wildcats, a PBY seaplane, and a real harsh look at what Marine Corps pilots went through in WWII, give this movie a try. I recemend it to anyone who served in the Marines, John Wayne fans, and models buffs. Semper Fi Go Marines.

The Duke on Command,
Jeffrey Leeper (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
The movie centers around two things. First, it shows the usage of military planes providing close ground support. Repeatedly, everyone mentions it can't be done, but the Duke and his group continue to show that it is viable. Second, we see the agonies of command.
John Wayne is a major who is not always liked by his subordinates. He is a career military man trying to keep his team, mostly young college men, alive by enforcing discipline. He drives them relentlessly as the executive officer tries to ease up on them. By the end of the movie, the executive officer gets an explanation on why it is necessary for commanders to push their men.
For military film buffs or John Wayne fans, I would highly recommend... Read more

Cats, not dogs, are supposed to have nine lives. Obviously Dosha never got the memo. On April 15 the Clearlake, Calif., pit bull mix was hit by a pickup truck, shot by a police officer to put her out of her misery and placed in the local animal-control center's freezer, awaiting disposal. But two hours later a worker opened the freezer door by chance and "found Dosha sitting up," says Denise Johnson, Lake County's Animal Control director. "She was alive."
Dosha's harrowing ordeal began that morning, when owner Louetta Mallard, 40, let the 10-month-old out in the front yard; Dosha jumped a 4-ft. cyclone fence and was hit by a pickup truck. "She wasn't moving and was glassy-eyed," says neighbor Rolf Biegiela, who arrived after the accident. "I said to myself, 'That's a dead dog.' " A Clearlake police officer arrived on the scene and shot the collarless Dosha in the head. Then a public works employee transported her to the animal-control center. "It's amazing what things animals can stand," says veterinarian Debra Sally, who treated Dosha, after she was found alive in the freezer, for hypothermia and removed the bullet, which had traveled along Dosha's skull—barely missing her brain—and settled in the skin under her jaw.
Now recovering at the Clearlake Veterinary Clinic, Dosha is in high spirits, vigorously licking visitors' hands. She has some hearing loss in her right ear but will be allowed to move back in with Mallard as soon as the owner erects a taller fence and buys a harness that will stop Dosha from jumping. "That dog had everything go wrong, but someone was looking out for her," says Johnson. "This was her lucky day."

Summer Lovin' 2: Mavs 85, Raptors 75
In Game 2, the Mavericks seemed to be doing all the things that a basketball junkie likes to see: They were playing hard on defense, running the floor, taking it to the rim, sharing the ball and moving well without the ball. These are the kind of things that you like to see from young players trying to find their place in the NBA (or find a place in the NBA).
On the other hand I hope that some of the people begging the Dallas Mavericks to trade up in the draft in order to take shooting guard Terrence Ross watched this game. I hate to be too critical of a young player who hasn't played an NBA game yet, but I wasn't sold on Ross before the draft and I am less convinced after this game as he finished with 11 points off of 5-of-12 shooting.
Scouts praised Ross for his 6'7 frame and his ability to shoot and flat-out score. But I saw a very one-dimensional player with a number of bad habits on Monday night. Ross was a black hole who shot nearly every time he touched the ball. He took plenty of contested jumpers off the dribble and he was a liability on defense. If you don't have the talent of Tracy McGrady in his prime then you can't afford to play like him. I don't think former Mavs' assistant coach Duane Casey - now the Raps' boss -- will put up with poor defensive efforts even if they come from a number seven overall pick.
So while the Mavericks chose not to trade up to get Ross (who I'll admit still has quite a ceiling), we all know they traded down to get a number of players. I realize that I'm perhaps being a prisoner of the moment (in a summer league game!), but I have a feeling that one of those players, Jae Crowder, might be one of the steals of the draft.
As advertised, Crowder "does everything." He can shoot, get to the basket, pass, rebound, and defend. He has a constant motor. As I've watched him the past two games I see the 6'6 forward showing a knack for moving without the ball and scoring on the quick catch. He finished with 15 points and 4 rebounds and seemed to often be at the right place at the right time.
If I squint, I can also see Crowder being considered for real minutes this season at small forward. He will bring it defensively.
For all the experience that Bernard James has in life, we forget that he will need to gain a lot of experience as a big man in the NBA. He seems to have the strength and the size, but he will need to learn how to use it against players with the same kind of strength and size. Ed Davis seemed to have the upper hand on him most of the game, but Bernard still managed an impressive 13 points and 11 rebounds. James will need some time in the NBA before he becomes a serious contributor, but I'm excited to see where he'll be after plenty of coaching and experience.
Observer Rick Carlisle (who spent much of the game in injured Jared Cunningham's ear) seems to label Drew Gordon as the guy that probably won't make the Mavs' roster but will make it in the NBA somewhere. I might say to that, don't count out Tu Holloway, either. The point guard out of Xavier hasn't gotten much playing time, but he has supreme confidence in himself and can shoot the ball and can get where he wants on the court.
And of course, there's Dominique Jones. Another very solid game for DoJo, who finished with 21 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds but as Kevin Brolan pointed out after DoJo's wonderful Game 1 showing with 32 points, it's tough to assess how that will translate to the regular season. But it's clear that Jones has been taking over both games because he knows he has the largest combination of talent and experience on the roster, which will never be the case during the regular season. Jones will have to show a better ability to pass the ball if he wants to get many minutes at the point guard this season, but it's hard to criticize him when he is scoring with such ease.
Two games in DoJo's play has been described as "relentless" and his attitude as "refusing to settle." That's what the Mavericks are looking for. Similar positives can be said about Jae Crowder thus far. And these are also the attributes that first-round pick Cunningham has been praised with. These three players will almost certainly have the chance to be on the roster come November. Their level of aggression will determine how much playing time they get.
Well, that and a decision from Rick to get out of their ear and get them onto the floor.

The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing soothes baby with a two-position reclining seat and six swing speeds. The variety of songs and fascinating light show win particular praise, as does the plush star mobile. However, the swing is plagued by reports of faulty motors and some reviewers feel the three-point harness is unsafe.Safety
Is a three-point harness secure enough? Recommended for use from birth until baby reaches 25 pounds, the Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing features a three-point harness and tray, although many reviewers wish for a five-point harness to secure baby better. Easy to assemble, a few users say the legs wobble, making the frame seem unstable. The swing offers comfortable, nest-like cushioning for infant head support, as well as two seat-recline positions, but the attached canopy worries some parents when their baby begins to grasp and pull on the fabric.ProsMultiple swing positions, Electric or battery power, Entertaining featuresConsMotor may be unreliable, Lacks five-point harness, May be too slow for some babies
Mesmerizing light show. The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing is one of the more versatile models available, with six speeds and the ability to swing side to side or front to back. The mobile features visually appealing plush hanging stars and a teddy bear, but it is the light show, which casts stars onto the swing's canopy that parents feel entertains baby more. The swing plays 16 soothing songs, offers a morning and evening music mode, and features adjustable volume control. Some owners complain that the swing, which runs on four D batteries or electric power, is simply too slow, while others say that it is not very portable.
Potential motor issues. Fisher-Price says the Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing's padding is machine washable, but a few reviewers note that the head cushion is not removable and can get dirty. As with most baby swings, parents say their babies outgrew the swing before reaching the upper weight limit of 25 pounds. Additionally, many feel that their baby lost interest once he or she began sitting up, as the swing doesn't offer an upright seat position. Owners consistently report that the motor stopped working shortly after purchase, and while Fisher-Price sent a replacement for the motor, in some cases owners had to wait for the arrival of a back-ordered part.

NJ.com users are understandably weighing in on a Nov. 15 story about deficiencies in our power grid and what could, but may not, be done about it in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
The electricity distribution infrastructure in New Jersey sorely needs modernization, according to James Hughes, dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
The reliability of the system — "the stupid grid," Hughes calls it — depends on early 20th Century technology, he said. It is unable to automatically identify and report the source of a distribution failure, let alone make simple repairs, he said.
But state Board of Public Utility officials may not be ready to order the companies to modernize and consumers may be unwilling to foot the bill.
Such upgrades were a recommendation of consultant Energy Preparedness Partnerships in its August report to the BPU. The report pushes for "distribution automation (enabling) real-time data acquisition, communication with utility databases and other automated systems." Automation won't prevent faults or outages, the report states, but it can "minimize the number of customers that experience a sustained outage and reduce restoration times."
Question Mark throught "there already was a charge for line upkeep and modernization. If the utilities have been pocketing this money without the upgrades - try the executives for fraud and and if convicted jail time for the company executives is called for. Stop with the fines and go for time in jail that will help these executives make the right choices.
irvingtonia gave a shout-out to the utility company: "hey first energy, take some of your profits and reinvest it in the system instead of giving it to shareholders. We should un-privatize the grid if they are unwilling to modernize it."
ktownchris took a humorous approach, asking, "Perhaps they consider the system historical and don't want to replace anything so future generations can appreciate how rural communities electic systems were in the 1920's?"
Do you think the BPU should order upgrades to the grid, or continue to leave these decisions to the utility companies? How much more a month are you willing to pay for a more reliable grid. Add your comment to the discussion.

Historical Traveler Reviews Beachscape Kin Ha Villas & Suites Cancun
We loved it.
We (2 families, 11 total) stayed at the Ambiance Villas from Jan. 28 - Jan. 8, 2004. Ignore the horrible reviews. This place has much to recommend it. First, the people who work here (esp. Tanya) are incredibly friendly and helpful. They are NOT tip hungry; in fact, several tried to decline tips. Second, this is the best beach we found in Cancun. Most of the big hotels on the northern side of the peninsula found their "beaches" (and I use the term VERY loosely) in shade by 2:00 p.m. All the water was closed (red flags) down the eastern side of the peninsula the entire time we were there. That means that if I stayed at the Ritz, I would not have been able to swim in the ocean.
Third, the rooms are condos and you can get a kitchen. If traveling with kids this is the only way to go. Check out your room before seeking an upgrade, though, as the first room might be nicer. We were moved, free of charge, to an ocean view room, but actually preferred the first room. While some of the rooms may be a ways back from the beach, the walk is still nowhere as long as the trek you will make in the big hotels. Finally, we ate the food plenty. It is not the best food in Cancun, but it is certainly NOT inedible, and I'm a picky eater. (I had a much worse meal at Senor Frogs) All in all, the Ambiance is a very clean, friendly, small property in one of the best locations in Cancun. (P.S. If you're looking for a party place, this is probably not for you.)
Horrible View - Construction Site
Everything is great - Beatiful sandy beach, clean&big room, well trimmed garden, and clean swimming pool. We don't have a chance to try the food though. The hotel is well recommended. However, do not make reservation or pre-pay the room unless you see the room beforehand!!!
Some of the rooms face construction site. They were horrible. I asked for another room, but he lied that he did not have anything else (I found out later that he was offering the other rooms w/ better view to 'walk-in' customers). Please beware...
Great Family Reunion
Our parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year, and it took us this long to find a time that all the kids and grandkids could plan a trip together. We arrived at the Ambiance on different days, starting the day after Christmas and stayed through Jan 4th. The family enjoyed the openess of the 3 bedroom suite where we spent a lot of time visiting, playing games, watching CNN and eating. The rooms are large, clean, modern and nicely furnished. The only problem we experienced was being on a lower level room and the lady above us coming in at 4:00am, clicking around around on her tile floor (our ceiling) and keeping us all awake for an hour each night. I'm not sure if this is a problem in all the lower suites or just ours. We talked to staff and they spoke to the lady about taking off her shoes, but she still persisted in her rude behavior which kept most of us pretty grumpy about a good nights sleep. The beach in front of the hotel is defintely the best on that side of the pennisula. Clear beautiful water, good security, wonderful shaded areas. The more exclusive resorts right next door have no beaches--their property runs right up to the beach line. The conceige does a great job locating activities, getting taxi's, etc. Tanya is awesome--the lady at the front desk who knows what Americans want, how they think and speaks great English. She definitely wins our award for top customer service. The maids do a nice job, and, yes, they perform better when you tip them, but, hey, they make $6 a day--and depend on their tips to make up the low pay. The place is spotless, gardeners, maids, maintenance working all the time. Walmart has a huge super store just a 10 minute bus ride (60 cents) away. We stocked up on groceries (cheap) and prepared breakfast and lunches in our kitchens and only ate out at night, saving a ton of money. We took the bus everywhere--the stop is right outside the hotel and you can get to all the main shopping/eating places within 5-15 minutes. The cabs are usually $7-$8 whether you go 1 mile or 5 miles, (no meters), so take the bus.
Overall, with exception of the stilleto dancing nights on our ceilings, we loved the Ambience and would go back in a minute.
Loved the Ambiance
Just back from the Ambiance Villas on Oct 11, 2003 and had to write a review since I couldn't find much info on the hotel. If you like a smaller property, very clean, beautiful part of the beach, great location on the blvd. then this is the place! We absolutely loved it.
This is our third trip in 10 yrs and have stayed at the Oasis and Playa de Oro (now Jack Tar Village) and this was our favorite! It is a smaller property which is great for anyone who does a lot of walking on vacation. The beach and pool is less than 5 minutes from your room as is the bus stop. We upgraded on arrival to a 1 bedroom condo and it was gorgeous even though we were on the lagoon side facing the front drive.
Everyone from the front desk (Abel), bar service (Bobby) and our maid (Priscilla) was wonderful. All of the staff was very professional and friendly. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we didn't get to try it but loved their location on the beach. Easy walking distance to Plaza Caracol, Forum by the Sea, Dady O's, Dady Rocks and Coco Bongo.
We were most happy to find that the Mexican people aren't sick of us tourist and it is still a very safe city to walk everywhere.
Great-Ambiance Villas & Club
We went to Cancun in August and stayed at the Ambiance Villas and it was WONDERFUL. I didn't want to stay in a hotel because we would have to get 2 rooms since we have 4 children, so the Ambiance was just perfect. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo and had a terrace with a beautiful oceanside view from each bedroom and the kitchen and living room. The only downside was that our travel agent said the rooms would probably be available at 8 AM since that was our arrival time. Well, after not sleeping all night since we had to be at the airport by 3:30 a.m., we were really tired when we finally got 1 of the bedrooms at 3:00 p.m. Everything else was really great. It was A family setting so there was no no loud music or noisy bars. Our package included drinks which was really enjoyable out on the beach. We don't drink alcohol but they have a good variety of fruit drinks and such without alcohol. There is a mall within walking distance and there is a grocery store across the street. That was great because we could keep snacks in the fridge. We thorougly enjoyed the hotel and Cancun. We want to go back to the Ambiance!!
A beautiful place
We got a last minute deal from a travel company to go to Ambiance Villas (formerly Kin Ha Condos) in Cancun. This was our first trip to Mexico and we wound up with a super deal! We were booked for two studio rooms. When we checked in, we decided to up-grade to one 2-bedroom suite. An excellent choice! It was really two separate rooms that were connected by a separate hallway and door. The kids got the regular "deluxe" room and we got the one bedroom suite room. Our room had a small kitchen, breakfast bar, table with 4 chairs, couch and 2 armchairs. Both rooms were large, airy, clean and tastefully decorated. We had our own large private balcony with ocean and lagoon views. The two rooms together also shared a giant balcony, with ocean and lagoon views.We prefer small, quiet places to those that are large and impersonal. This was just the place for us (in a sea of mega-hotels.) The hotel consists of several different 4-story buildings surrounded by beautiful gardens. They have a large pool and a beautiful large, white sand beach. The water here is so clear that it is sea-green and turquoise; it is shallow and calm. (Further down the coast, the water was so choppy as to be unenjoyable.) Everything about the facility was well maintained and much is brand new.The staff treated us very well - they were friendly and helpful. The waiters often came around to the pool and the beach to take drink orders. Breakfast and lunch served at the beach restaurant was cool and tasty. A few days we opted for the affordable all-inclusive meal plan. The food was good and beautifully presented, but the dinner menu lacked variety. Since we had a kitchen, we went across the street to a small grocery store and got a few necessities. We had a wonderful time at our quiet hotel, but Cancun is very built up and commercial. There is much nightlight, shopping and dining all around for all those interested. We rate Ambiance Villas 4 1/2 stars.
Kin Ha for spring break, an OK choice
Several friends and I stayed here for our spring break Cancun trip. Overall, beautiful beach and very nice room. Maid service was excellent, after we tipped. We did not do all-inclusive but I saw other people who did, and I would not have wanted too, since there is not great food selection and the bars, especially the beach bar seemed way understaffed, took a long time to get drinks. For us, drinks were expensive there and service terrible. Other than food and drink service, however, this was a fabulous hotel for the price and I would reccomend it to students or families. I would also reccomend it to anyone who plans to do most of their eating and drinking elsewhere in Cancun.
Best place to visit
Stayed at kinha Jan/02,we were threated like kings. walk many miles of beach and kinha has the best beach by far, as the bigest and the water had no waves, as the east side was red flaged all week. Glenn & Cindi.
A Bad Joke
My wife and I booked our honeymoon at the Kin Ha Hotel. We'd booked and paid for the hotel in Australia about 6 months earlier, and were looking forward to it for months. After travelling about 30 hours from Sydney we turned up at 10:00pm to be told that they didn't have a room for us. They then took us to some other place that was totally sub-standard. We checked out the next morning, phoned the travel agent in Australia, and went elsehwere (Fiesta Americana - we were on our honeymoon after all).
The Kin Ha hotel? What a joke@ Try somewhere else.
Kin-Ha experience
Me and my family just came back from Cancun yesterday.
We stayed at Kin-Ha from August 07-11 of 2001.
I payed for this accomodation one month before our arrival, and my travel agent told me I just needed a reservation number + ID to check in.
Well, the personnel at the front desk were quite confused and told me they needed some more information from my travel agent regarding *what* room(s) exactly they were supposed to give me. I don't understand why they cannot determine my accomodation given that I had already paid and gave them a reservation number. I pointed out to the man (whose name I did not pay attention to unfortunately) at the front desk that I had already paid for my three rooms. He *very rudely* told me that he was not asking me or saying that I had not paid, but that he needed more information from my travel agent (Thomas Moore) as to what they needed to provide me with. Even if my travel agent failed to give me more information for them, I strongly believe the personnel (specially the personnel at the front desk) should not treat customers in such a despotic way.
Once it was 3:30pm (yes, half an hour more after the check in time) they gave us our keys and bracelets. Anothe man told us again very rude that we could aquire a key for the safe but in the event of we loosing the key we would be charged $100. His manners were so bad that I thought of telling him to go ahead and keep the key for himself and put it in one of his body's horifices.
When we checked out I was charged for a couple of local phone calls. I paid them and that was it. No thanks, no smiles, no nothing but despotic attitude from personnel at the front desk.
On the good side, other personnel such as cleaning people and waiters were very nice and showed more education by far.
The rooms were clean, ample, and very comfortable.
I will give this hotel a 3 which would otherwise be a 5 if the personnel at the front desk would be better trained to treat people.

If Danny Granger is eventually traded, will it actually benefit the Indiana Pacers over the long haul?
Him missing a huge chunk of the 2012-13 NBA season paved the way for young guns like Lance Stephenson and Paul George to have great seasons. Even without Granger, the Pacers almost made it to the 2013 NBA Finals.
Team president Larry Bird said he won't be trading Granger. But for all we know, this could just be a ruse to lure some interested suitors into the fray.
Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz said Bird's intention of not trading Granger in a June 27 featured article doesn't necessarily mean Granger won't be moved prior to the trading deadline.
That being said, some pros and cons of trading Danny Granger need to be considered by Bird for the long-term benefit of the Pacers, who are just a few tweaks away from becoming NBA Finals contenders once again.

The Detroit Pistons have had a fairly quiet offseason. For some teams that might be a good thing.
However for the Pistons it is not.
General manager Joe Dumars was able to trade away Ben Gordon in exchange for Corey Maggette. The move got the Pistons out from underneath the last two years of Gordon's contract. It also lines them up as players in free agency next summer with nearly $20 million in cap space available.
He also made some interesting draft picks in Andre Drummond and Khris Middleton. However there are a few players standing in their way of receiving consistent playing time.
If the Pistons want to start taking steps back to respectability, it is time to say goodbye to the old and say hello to the new. It is time to be rid of the junk and see what the young kids can do.
With Brandon Knight, Drummond and Greg Monroe they have some great potential. If Dumars is able to move a few of the guys on this list they might be able to reach that potential much sooner.

By JOE KOZLOWSKI
ELTINGVILLE -- Many people leave Staten Island for work. Shemiah LeGrande of Port Richmond did just that in 2008. But unlike others, he left to play in the NFL. Now he's returned to teach speed and agility classes at the South Shore YMCA.
"Basically we were looking for a speed and agility position," said Chris Ostrow, the Youth and Family Coordinator at the South Shore Y. "He applied for the job, had a good resume, and would be a boost to the community and the kids."
To call LeGrande's resume good may be a bit of an understatement. After playing at Curtis High School, where he was a two-time Advance All Star and city champion, he was a fixture on the defensive line for the Hofstra University Pride. He was briefly a member of the NFL's Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals and saw action in the Indoor Football League (IFL), Arena Football League (AFL), and United Football League (UFL).
"I've seen and done a lot throughout my career," said LeGrande. "I know the new techniques to get kids faster and have some agility secrets that they may not know."
Despite the dark clouds and cool temperatures, LeGrande took to the YMCA's Eltingville baseball field last Thursday to give his first clinic. There will be another free session Thursday; after that LeGrande will continue his speed and agility workouts in paid classes during the summer.
With cones and an agility ladder set up in the outfield, LeGrande put kids like Christopher Mantera Jr., Thomas Andron and Matthew Scarpati of Eltingville through a workout.
From the first moments, LeGrande put everyone at ease. As he shook hands with the boys, he not only asked their names, but where they played football. When Andron responded "Staten Island Pee Wee (SIPWFL)," LeGrande smiled. He had played in the same league. "I grew up there," he said.
The workouts are beneficial to athletes of all sports. While Andron plays middle linebacker in the SIPWFL and Mantera is a right tackle in the Staten Island Boys Football League, Scarpati does not share their passion for football. Instead, he hoped to hone his agility and speed for basketball.
After about an hour of instruction focusing on stretching, running mechanics, and footwork, the clinic came to a close.
Annmarie Mantera, Christopher's mother, summed up the group's feelings. "To be helped and trained by someone who played professional football is a great opportunity," she said.
</3m>The free clinic tomorrow will be held at the Oakdale Street baseball field in Eltingville. The clinics will be from 4:30-5:30 p.m. for ages 8-9, 5:30-6:30 p.m. for ages 10-11 and 6:30-7:30 p.m. for ages 12-14.
The paid classes begin June 24 and for members the cost is $120 once a week, $200 twice a week and $300 for three times a week in the eight-week session. For non-members, it's $150 once a week, $250 twice a week and $350 for three times.
