More than 2,000 convicted criminals released under Los Angeles County Probation Department supervision due to realignment have slipped supervision and are missing, officials said Tuesday.
A report presented Tuesday to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors shows 2,022 active warrants issued by the end of January for so-called "absconders" — people released on parole or probation who have failed to fulfill their court-mandated responsibilities.
Those released on parole or probation are often given a list of court-mandated activities, said Carol Lin, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
These include checking in with their supervising officers and can also entail participating in mental health or drug treatment.
If people do not fulfill these obligations, a bench warrant can be issued for their arrest, Lin said.
Every one of the 2,022 warrants was issued because there is reason to believe a person is attempting to elude supervision, Lin said.
January's figure was 400 more than the number in December and the most recorded since the beginning of realignment in October 2011.
The number of outstanding warrants is cumulative and can include absconders from the beginning of state realignment in October 2011, according to board documents.
State realignment became the law of the land with the passage of Assembly Bill 109 in October 2011. Under the provisions of the law, the state can divert criminals whose crimes were classified as non-sexual, non-serious and non-violent in nature — so-called "non-non-nons" — from state prisons to county jails.
Some of those inmates were then released under county supervision.
Jerry Powers, the county's chief probation officer, said Tuesday the county Probation Department had approximately 10,445 non-non-nons under its supervision by the end of January.
About 58 percent of those offenders are classified as "high" or "very high" risk. The higher the risk classification, the more likely the offender is to commit another crime, Powers said.
Since realignment became law, the number of absconders in the county has grown along with the realignment population. In January, for instance, the county issued 614 warrants and apprehended 394 absconders — the highest figures since last October.
Since the beginning of realignment, the county has issues 5,105 such warrants and apprehended 3,067 absconders, according to statistics from the county.

RELEASE: New Report Analyzes Rising Political Influence of Children of Immigrants
Contact: Tanya Arditi
Phone: 202.741.6258
Email: email@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Center for American Progress released a new report that examines the rising political influence that children of Latino immigrants have on the electoral process. The report, titled "The Latino Electorate by Immigrant Generation" finds that second-generation immigrants—children of immigrants—are the fastest-growing segment of the Latino electorate. These voters care deeply about immigration reform and know from firsthand experience the dysfunctions of our nation's broken immigration system.
Coming on the heels of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA)—one of the key blockers of immigration reform in the House of Representatives—losing his primary, while Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)—a key proponent—won his, this report's findings should be a wake-up call to politicians. The numbers do not lie. As the Latino electorate grows and becomes more constituted by the children of immigrants, winning over the Latino vote will only become more difficult for those who actively block progress on immigration reform.
Here are the key findings from the Center for American Progress's analysis of the Latino electorate and the implications it will have on future elections:
- Immigrants and their children are an increasing share of the Latino electorate: Immigrants and their children made up 49 percent of eligible Latino voters in 1996. This share climbed to 55 percent by 2012.
- Second-generation immigrants are the driving force behind the growth of the Latino electorate. Between 2012 and 2016, 3.3 million Latino citizens will turn age 18. Of these, 57 percent, or nearly 2 million, are the children of immigrants.
- Each day, the vast majority of the nearly 2,000 Latinos who turn 18 and can vote come from an immigrant household.
- Immigrants and their children are more likely to vote than third-generation immigrants. Therefore, as immigrants and their children become a larger share of the Latino electorate, the voter turnout rate for Latinos will likely increase.
- As immigrants and their children make up a larger share of the Latino electorate, the importance of immigration reform will only continue to grow for the electorate as a whole.

Lenovo Earnings: What to Watch
Once again, Lenovo Group's ability to squeeze out profits even amid weak demand for personal computers will be put to test. The world's largest PC maker will report its earnings for the latest quarter on Thursday.
In August, Lenovo reported a 23% increase in its profit for the fiscal first quarter through June, citing tighter cost control and an increased focus on products that can generate better margins such as its Yoga line of tablet-laptop hybrid devices. Lenovo, which first became a major global player when it acquired International Business Machines's PC business in 2005, has also been focusing on selling smartphones in more markets outside China, as it adapts to falling demand for PCs.
On average, analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Lenovo to post a net profit of about $201 million for the three months ended September, up from $162 million a year earlier.
Here are key areas to keep an eye on:
1) Margins, Margins, Margins: Analysts will be closely watching Lenovo's margins both by regions and by product segments in the coming earnings report. Margins from Lenovo's China operations as well as its office PC business in the U.S. are expected to remain stable. Any improvement in margins from the smartphone business or PC operations in emerging markets outside China would be good news.
"If you can't drive growth, you should pay more attention to margins," Lenovo Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing told The Wall Street Journal after the company reported its first-quarter results in August. In that quarter, Lenovo's operating margin in China rose to 5.2% from 4.6% a year earlier, more than making up for a slight margin decline in North America and Latin America.
2) Smartphone Growth: Over the past year, Lenovo has been investing heavily to expand its smartphone business outside China. Lenovo sells its smartphones in several Asian countries as well as Russia, in addition to China.
In the Chinese market, Lenovo is the second-largest smartphone vendor behind Samsung Electronics Co.
Lenovo has said its handset operations are profitable in China, but so far, the business hasn't contributed much to group earnings because the company has been investing a lot in marketing, distribution and product development.
Lenovo's long-term success depends in part on how quickly its smartphone business becomes a major source of profitability as well as revenue. Other things to watch include how fast the business expands in emerging markets outside China, and when Lenovo plans to start selling smartphones in the U.S..
3) PC Industry Outlook: Lenovo's latest results will come at a time when PC makers continue to face a brutal environment. The latest data from research firm IDC released last month showed that world-wide PC shipments for the quarter through September fell 7.6% from a year earlier.
"Whether constrained by a weak economy or being selective in their tech investments, buyers continue to evaluate options and delay PC replacements," IDC Vice President Loren Loverde said in a statement.
But the IDC data also showed that Lenovo was the best performer among the top five PC vendors, as its shipments grew 2.2% in the quarter.
While Lenovo's shipments may stay relatively solid compared with other PC makers, things could get worse. Any signs of intensifying price wars could spur concerns that it will become harder for Lenovo to hold on to its profits from the PC business.

Happy Birthday Taylor Lautner! You're 19! I still can't believe that's it. Well, you're legal in Canada if that counts towards anything….
Actually it does…..he'll be starting to shoot Breaking Dawn in Vancouver in a week or two. There's one more place to look for him! The clubs and bars! This young buck will for sure make use of his new older age.
older age….makes me want to cry.
Hurry up and get back with Taylor Swift. Back to December makes me cry everytime! Hell, I'd date her for that and I don't even do the snatch.

Tis' the season to gobble and gulp and once you're done, wash it down with dessert. Doris Molander acknowledges her weakness.
"Anything chocolate. I'm a proud chocoholic, but all under control."
To make up for her indulgence, Doris hits the gym. She sees major temptations ahead.
"My feelings are to work harder right now in anticipation of the holidays and eating all the naughty things we're not supposed to eat," says Doris.
Thanksgiving jump-starts the holidays, and for many the poultry fest packs on the pounds. Heather Parker is with the Wellness Center of Cape Coral.
"Try to reduce the calories of the things that you're taking in by not eating the crust on that pecan pie or the pumpkin pie. The crust has a lot of fat and calories in it so if you try to skip most of the crust that will save you about 100 calories," says Heather Parker, an exercise specialist with Lee Memorial Health System.
She's issuing a 'be on the lookout' for hidden calories.
"I don't know what people put in their stuffing, they could put a stick of butter in it. The same thing with potatoes, mashed potatoes, you can hide a lot of extra bad fat calories," says Heather.
Once the holidays hit, many of us suspend our workouts and healthy eating. Hoping to make up for it with a New Year's resolution.
"I always tell people start right now. If you think you want to be healthy start right today right this hour. Don't put it off until January. Try your best during the holidays and then let that lead into a healthier lifestyle overall," says Heather.
So when you put down your fork, consider adding a new Thanksgiving tradition.
"Get up, do the dishes, go for a walk after the dishes are done - even if it's ten minutes. When you're walking and talking it helps actually digest your food," says Heather.
Activity also helps offset the turkey's tryptophan and keep you from dozing the day away. And one final note to chew on: "Getting off your regular routine plus eating more, it's very easy to gain ten pounds in a week," says Heather.
Certainly food for thought.

COLUMBIA -- Drew Brees has long been Connor Shaw's favorite NFL quarterback. So Shaw already spent hours watching Brees, from a fan's perspective, before South Carolina quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus approached him during the offseason with video highlights of several NFL quarterbacks Mangus wanted Shaw to study.
Brees was one of them. Spending time watching the coaches' cuts of Brees -- which allow for more detailed study than footage of games as they appear on television -- has given Shaw a different perspective on the New Orleans Saints' star, one of the best quarterbacks on the planet.
USC's coaches aren't asking Shaw, a rising junior, to become another Brees during these spring practices as he prepares to enter his first full season as the Gamecocks' starter. They just want Shaw to learn something from how Brees handles himself in the pocket.
Shaw is 6-1, an inch taller than Brees, and both are athletic enough to gain yards by scrambling. But that's a fine line -- when to stay in the pocket a bit longer and look for an open receiver downfield or running back in the flat, versus when to take off and use those fleet feet.
"He sees everything," Shaw said of Brees. "He scans the field. He knows when to use his legs. He knows when to create open lanes because of his height. Me and the coaches have been studying him a lot this offseason."
Last season, Shaw ran 13.5 times per game, counting sacks, for 52.5 yards per game and eight touchdowns. His downfield passing, though, left something to be desired, especially early in his time as the starter -- partly because he would take off and run too quickly. In his first five games starting, he averaged six yards per pass attempt. That stat, in the final three games, jumped to 12.1 against The Citadel, 10.5 against Clemson and 13.5 against Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl -- all victories.
"(Brees) does a good job of moving in the pocket and maybe hanging for one more second to get a guy open downfield before he takes off," Mangus said. "But you never want to take away that ability to do that (scramble), because Lord knows, (Shaw) made some big, big plays with his feet, especially on third down. It is such a valuable weapon and it makes defenses kind of go crazy a little bit."
Rather than rolling out or scrambling, as Shaw tended to do, the coaches are encouraging him this spring to just shift around in the pocket, to avoid the pass rush and see over the linemen while keeping his eyes downfield. The early part of the spring is a good time for Shaw to focus on that, because the Gamecocks aren't in pads yet. So Shaw doesn't have to worry about getting hit in the pocket, as he would in a live game or scrimmage situation.
Shaw settled into the starting quarterback job as last season wore on and "was getting better every time he played," Mangus said. Shaw began to rely less on his running instincts and more on what the coaches are trying to ingrain into him as instinctual now -- the patience required to hang in the pocket and look for a play better than, say, a seven-yard scramble. That's a skill great quarterbacks like Brees possess.
Shaw threw 18.8 times per game last season, compared to his 13.5 runs, but the Gamecocks didn't have a reliable deep threat other than Alshon Jeffery, who was often double-covered. With Jeffery off to the NFL a year early, finding a big-bodied outside wide receiver to replace him will be a significant storyline this spring -- and go hand-in-hand with Shaw's development as a downfield pocket passer. Still, Shaw doesn't plan to completely abandon his running skills.
"I think I'm going to keep my eyes downfield a little bit more," he said. "I'd like to stay in the pocket a little bit more, but I'm not going to take my legs away from me."

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
Each year, the Portland Water Bureau develops a Seasonal Water Supply Augmentation and Contingency Plan also known as the Summer Supply Plan. This plan evaluates the availability of water from the Bull Run and groundwater sources, projected weather forecasts, and water demands to guide management of the drinking water system. Between careful management and the region's strong conservation efforts, the Portland Water Bureau is prepared to meet the range of potential supply and demand conditions that could occur in the Portland water system this season.
The Bull Run water system is designed to capture and store rainfall from the rainy season to provide adequate water supply during the dry summer months. The approximately 9.9 billion gallons stored in the two Bull Run reservoirs along with summer stream flows is sufficient to meet water demand during most years. During drier years, the Columbia South Shore Well Field groundwater source can be used to augment the Bull Run supply. This secondary source of reliable, high quality water can be used to make up any supply deficits. Because you can never be too safe, the City has also identified additional contingency sources and strategies to address even the most severe conditions.
Drawdown occurs each year when Portland Water Bureau customers use more water from our reservoirs than streams carry into them. This happens every year until the fall rains return and refill the reservoirs. Drawdown typically occurs around July 4. This year, drawdown began on June 30.
The Portland Water Bureau is prepared to meet drinking water needs of our customers. The Bull Run is a low-elevation watershed that gets its water primarily from rain, not snow. The watershed gets approximately 135 inches of rain each year, about 3-4 times more rain than we get here in town.
The Columbia South Shore Well Field is Portland's secondary water supply. The well field has 26 wells in three aquifers that are capable of producing nearly 100 million gallons per day. Each year the Portland Water Bureau performs a groundwater maintenance operation during drawdown to ensure the wellfield is operational in the event it is needed for emergency supply. This operation is planned to begin on July 25 and may last until mid-August.
With an average daily summer water demand of 126 million gallons, it can take careful planning to meet the needs of our customers.
The Water Bureau's best partner in ensuring that we have more than enough water for years to come is you! From 2004 to 2014, Portland's population grew by 18 percent—but the city's total water use decreased by 13 percent. This water savings is partly a result of how Portlanders have embraced water-saving technology and changed behaviors to make the most of each drop.
The Water Bureau has an efficiency program, where you can learn more about using water wisely all year round with information about native plants in your garden and low-flow devices for your showers, faucet and toilets. You can learn more at www.portlandoregon.gov/water/efficiency.
The Portland Water Bureau carefully monitors water levels, weather forecasts, and water use patterns to ensure adequate, clean water for all of our customers. As it does every year, the Portland Water Bureau is carefully watching our water supply through the summer. For updates and more information, visit www.portlandoregon.gov/water/summersupply.

A blog repost from the Regional Water Providers Consortium's website
Three water providers - Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), City of Tualatin, and the Portland Water Bureau - worked together on two projects on the Washington County Supply Line (WCSL) which delivers 60 million gallons of water from the Portland Water Bureau to west side wholesale customers.
First, TVWD and the City of Tualatin partnered together on an emergency pump station for the supply line. The trailer-mounted portable pumps can now be used to redirect up to 10-million gallons of water a day via the supply line from TVWD's Wolf Creek service area to TVWD's Metzger service area and the City of Tualatin in the unlikely event water supply from Portland is disrupted due to an emergency or natural disaster.
Second, the Portland Water Bureau took advantage of the construction window and upgraded the meter that measures the amount of water that they sell to a portion of TVWD's service area.
By working together, the water providers were able to develop an important back-up water supply using existing infrastructure, improve resiliency, and achieve cost savings by coordinating construction projects.
The Portland Water Bureau is currently conducting UDF flushing of the water mains in the St Johns and Cathedral neighborhoods in north Portland.
Flushing is occurring between N. Iris Street on the north, to Bradford Street on the south, from St Louis Avenue on the east, to Roberts Street on the west. CLICK HERE to view a map of the flushing area.
Flushing in St Johns is expected to be complete in September 2016.
Using Water Wisely this Summer
Flushing water from hydrants is an important and necessary practice to maintain water quality in the distribution system. This practice is used to flush discolored water from the pipes, keep water fresh in low use areas and dead-ends, and to clean inside pipes. This process is regularly monitored by Water Bureau staff to make sure the water is used wisely while maintaining water quality.
What you can Expect to See
Unidirectional flushing will have minimal impacts to customers. If you see hydrant flushing crews working in the area, please drive carefully and treat them like any other road construction crew.
During flushing, residents in the immediate vicinity of flushing may notice temporarily discolored water and lower than normal water pressure. The discoloration does not pose a health risk. However, you may wish to avoid using tap water or running the washing machine or dishwasher until your water runs clear. After flushing, if you still experience discolored water, turn on each cold water faucet in your house and allow them to run for several minutes or until the water is clear.
Flushing usually occurs Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
How Does UDF Work?
UDF works by forcing water in the pipes to flow at much higher speeds than normal. Flushing crews first open and close valves to isolate sections of pipe, and then the water and any sediments in the pipes are flushed out through an open fire hydrant. Residents may observe water gushing from an open hydrant.
Improving and Maintaining High-Quality Drinking Water
Drinking water systems, especially unfiltered systems like Portland, need to routinely clean the network of pipes to improve water quality. Over time, very fine sediment and organic matter from the Bull Run settle out of the water and accumulate in the bottom of the pipes. While the sediments are generally harmless, they can make the disinfectant in the water less effective. Additionally, sudden changes in the flow of water can disturb these sediments resulting in discolored water.
Call the Portland Water Bureau Water Line from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at 503‐823‐7525 with any questions or to report ongoing water quality problems. For more information, updates, and maps, visit www.portlandoregon.gov/water/UDF.
Construction crews will be restoring SW Macadam Avenue near the intersection of SW Nevada Street Monday through Thursday nights July 18-21st. Zupan's Markets and all area businesses will remain open normal hours during construction. To minimize traffic disruptions, work will begin each night at 8 p.m. and be completed by 5 a.m. the next morning.
During construction, SW Macadam Avenue will remain open in both directions but traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction and some turning movements could be restricted. Travelers are urged to use alternate routes and are reminded to drive slowly, exercise caution, and follow the direction of flaggers when traveling in and around the construction area. As with any construction project, safety is our first priority. Please obey flaggers and all construction signs.
Crews will do their best to position equipment to reduce noise in the neighborhood. For more information about nighttime work and noise, visit the City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement Noise Control Program webpage, call the hotline at 503-823-7350, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

This supplement to version 2.0 of the User Interface Specifications for the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) defines the specific user interface "look and feel" of command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems implemented by the Joint Airborne SIGINT Architecture (JASA) supplement. The DII style guide supersedes the User Interface Specifications for the Global Command and Control System (GCCS).
The DII will become the single C4I system to support the joint warfighter, as envisioned under the C4I for the Warrior concept. To achieve this goal, the DII specifies a software environment and common software structure based on open system standards and provides detailed specifications for the "look and feel" to be delivered by all DII-compliant software. The JASA supplement is the SIGINT component of the DII.
The DII style guide is based on the Department of Defense (DoD) Human Computer Interface (HCI) Style Guide (TAFIM Volume 8) and other user interface documents published by DoD services and organizations. The style specifications defined by DII are intended to provide sufficient flexibility so that the user environment provided by a DII-compliant system can be adapted to the specific operational setting in which it will be used. As such, the DII specifications define the general "look and feel" of C4I systems fielded by DoD organizations and can be considered to provide domain-level style guidance as defined in the DoD style guide. The specifications contained in Version 2.0 of the DII style guide as extended by this supplement define the specific "look and feel" to be provided by all JASA compliant systems.
This supplement provides JASA-specific direction in the following areas: JASA hardware and software configuration and operational environment. The JASA supplement supersedes the DII in the following areas: section 1.5 compliance, section 2.2.2 variable function keys, section 18.104.22.168 classification bar, section 22.214.171.124 system login, section 9.1.4 formats for date/time and geolocation display, section 9.4.5 sound, and section 10.4 map windows.

It is expected that JASA systems will be installed in a range of environments including surface, subsurface and airborne. These work areas include office-like spaces with normal ambient lighting, various platform spaces with low-level lighting where users remain dark adapted, and field units with unique environments. SIGINT variants should provide sufficient flexibility in customizing user interface features (e.g., selection of display color set and illumination) so that the system is usable in the specific environment it which it is installed.
Developers of zero baseline systems should be fully compliant with the specifications in Version 2.0 of the DII style guide and the JASA Supplement to the DII style guide.
Developers of noncompliant systems should use the specifications in Version 2.0 of the DII style guide and the JASA Supplement to the DII style guide as a guide and shall document and provide rationale for deviations from these specifications.
Given the tradeoff requirements, cost schedule and percent of legacy code invested, an evolutionary path may be desirable.
This style guide assumes that most applications will use fixed function keys (i.e., each key has only one predefined function associated with it) to execute the operations shown in table 2-2 and to define mnemonics and keyboard accelerators as indicated in sections 5.5 and 5.6 and shown in table 5-1. However, developers should provide user-defined variable function keys. If variable function keys are used, the command names for the function keys should be available for display in a separate application window in the form of soft keys, as shown in Figure 2-2. Soft keys are objects on the display screen that represent the function keys on the keyboard. As the function of a key changes, the soft key labeling also changes.
Figure 2-2. Example of Soft Function Keys
Since users are likely to be working in multiple applications simultaneously, if variable function keys are used, they should be application independent. Variable function keys should define input focus e.g., a database query command should open and focus on a new or existing application window.
The use of a classification bar on JASA compliant systems should be optional based on individual system accreditation requirements.
Developers of JASA compliant systems shall implement a login procedure that meets the accreditation requirements of the individual system. A system may make available at login only those applications to which the user is allowed access, or may require users to log in to individual applications or groups of applications. If the system is unavailable for login, a message should be displayed, whenever possible, indicating the system status and when the system will become available.
The date should be displayed as YYMMDD, where YY is the last two digits of the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day, or as DD MMM YY, where DD is the day, MMM is the month, and YY is the last two digits of the year.
Time should be displayed as HHMM[SS]Z, where HH is the hour of a 24-hour day, MM is the minute, SS (optional) is the second, and Z is the time zone (Zulu [Z] time is the default).
Date/Time Group (DTG) should be displayed as DDHHMMZ MMM YY, where DD is the day, HH is the hour, MM is the minute, Z is the time zone (Zulu is the default), MMM is the month, and YY is the year.
A JASA compliant system should have the capability to display and convert geolocation formats in latitude and longitude, Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), and the World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF). Note: The geolocation formats are presented in this document as a guide. Geolocation accuracy should be consistent with the systems capabilities.
Latitude should be displayed as D{D}H, where D (one or two characters) is the degrees of latitude and H is the hemisphere (N for North, S for South) or DD{MM{SS}}H, where DD is the degrees of latitude, MM is the minutes of latitude (optional), SS is the seconds of latitude (optional, but can only be given if minutes of latitude is given), and H is the hemisphere (N for North, S for South).
Longitude should be displayed as D{D{D}}H, where D (one, two, or three characters) is the degrees of longitude and H is the hemisphere (E for East, W for West).or DDD{MM{SS}}H, where DDD is the degrees of longitude, MM is the minutes of longitude (optional), SS is the seconds of longitude (optional, but can only be given if minutes of longitude is given), and H is the hemisphere (E for East, W for West).
MGRS formats should be displayed in accordance with system requirements and should include the reference datum.
UTM formats should be displayed in accordance with system requirements and should include the reference datum.
GEOREF formats should be displayed in accordance with system requirements and should include the reference datum.
Since SIGINT users are likely to be processing multiple auditory inputs simultaneously, auditory feedback should be used judiciously to attract the user's attention.
A map window should include the reference datum and other identifying
information about the map (e.g., map name, scale, coordinates, area, scale).

BAY CITY -- Christian Rodriguez got into boxing to challenge himself.
He never envisioned that would mean going toe-to-toe with his mirror image.
Fight fans can look for some heavy-duty haymakers when the 5-foot-9, 300-pound Rodriguez faces the similarly large Joe Nelson on Saturday, as more than 600 pounds worth of heart and courage step into the ring for the American Athletic Association boxing team's Fall Fight Night.
"My dad said 'I'm picturing you fighting yourself... Sounds like the fight of the night,'" said Rodriguez, who is part of the 15-bout fight card in the Golden Gloves-style boxing show set for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Michigan National Guard Armory, 2510 E. Wilder Rd. in Bay City.
Fall Fight Night is headlined by three AAA open division fighters, Golden Gloves state champion Devin Tomkins, undefeated David O'Neil and fan favorite Lawrence King-Florida. Saginaw's Germain Franklin, the 2013 Golden Gloves national runner-up, is also on the card.
But expect the Rodriguez vs. Nelson bout to create quite a stir as the event's two biggest brawlers step in the ring together for a 201-plus novice division fight.
While Rodriguez sports just a 1-2 record and isn't banking on boxing to be his future, the 16-year-old Bay City Central junior got into the fight game for all the right reasons. And that's why AAA trainer Bob Arsenault â like fight fans at all three of Rodriguez's official bouts â can't help but pull for the big guy.
"You can't ask for any more from a guy than to give you everything he's got, and that's what Christian does," said Arsenault, the Hall of Fame coach in his fifth decade in the fight game. "Boxing is a tough sport. You train and work hard â and you're not always going to be successful -- but you learn to keep going. And he does."
Rodriguez said he's long been intrigued by combat sports â thanks to "Rocky" and Bruce Lee movies he watched as a youth â and talked parents Joe and Krysti Rodriguez into letting him try Taekwondo at age 7. A year ago, AAA coach Matt Maciag spotted him working on his technique at the Bay Area YMCA and invited him to the boxing gym.
He quickly realized boxing was right in his wheelhouse.
"It's a great challenge getting in there and going one-on-one," he said. "You can't go in there thinking about winning, you just have to think about pouring your heart and soul into it."
Despite being "little and chunky," as he described himself, Rodriguez has worked his way into excellent condition. He committed himself to training for boxing twice a week, running three miles â including laps over the Veterans Memorial Bridge â and going through summer workouts with the Central football team.
"He's got a helluva belly on him, but he's really in good shape," Arsenault said. "When we run the bridges, he stays right with the other guys. And he has no problem with the cardio work we do in the gym."
And Rodriguez hopes that endurance pays dividends when he steps between the ropes for what should be an action-packed, three-round fight with Holland's Joe Nelson.
"Christian probably throws 150 punches a round. He never quits swinging," Arsenault said. "The fans love him. When the bell rings, he lights up the ring."
If that style doesn't pay off in a victory, Rodriguez isn't about to fret. He got into boxing for far more than winning a boxing match.
"I'm doing something where you build character, where you learn how to win and how to lose," he said. "Even if I don't end up being a professional, this will help me be the best at whatever I do. If I'm a businessman, I'll be the best businessman... because I learned from boxing that if you've got heart, you've got a chance."
Also joining Rodriguez in the Fall Fight Night event are AAA teammates Jacob Brissette, Dayten Bender, Zayn Alaoui, Raymond Roope, Blaine Archambeau, Logan Post, Antonio Coy and Nathan Gray. Saginaw's Jeremy Olivares, Runell Hinley and Isaac Milburn of Saginaw are also on the docket, along with boxers from across Michigan and Ohio.
Tickets to the event are $20 at the door or $15 in advance at New Body Health and Fitness, Hooters of Bay City and Shirts, Mugs and More.

Far Cry 3
Is BLOOD DRAGON a DLC or standalone game?
- Topic Archived
Is BLOOD DRAGON a FC3 DLC or a standalone game with FC3 name attached - Results (80 votes)
Its FC3 DLC guys, you know, the one we have all been waiting for.
17.5% (14 votes)
It's a standalone game with FC3 name attached. Not an add on DLC to the original FC3.
82.5% (66 votes)
This poll is now closed.
So this poll should be a quick view of who here thinks its a DLC and who here thinks it is a standalone game with the FC3 name.
Do the poll, and when Blood Dragon is released we will see who is correct.
Should be interesting debate until then.
For me, DLC should have something to do with the game, keeping same characters and same game world and environment of FC3, while adding something new like missions or weapons or extra characters.
The fact that the screenshots of Blood Dragon shows none of that, plus the fact that the reports are saying it is a standalone game, with different settings and atmosphere, leads me to conclude that it will be a standalone title and not a DLC for FC3.

There's no confusion FFS. CONFIRMED FOR XBLA. THAT MEANS STANDALONE. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR YOU TARDS TO COMPREHEND?
3 ppl still think its a DLC
i bet Nolan4LT is one of them, man that guy is thick. He's gonna feel so stupid when Blood Dragon is released.
ducksfan11222 3 years ago#4
I thought it was a pokemon, I wanted to pick that option.
It certainly doesn't have many trophies for a standalone game....
well if its its OWN game, we should be talking about it in its OWN threads. but we are not. we are talking about it in here. like 20 posts worth. Which is what we do with DLC.
so I voted for dlc. ONly for that fact. but really, I dont have a clue.
Thank you for sharing.

Dr. Darell Blood Dragon does have its own thread you can go read the board there if you like.
I think from the poll result we can clearly say that it is a standalone game.
Yes we have to download it from the PSN but that doesnt mean it is a DLC for Farcry 3, its got nothing to do with FC3.
Even the developers say it is a standalone game, so we can close this debate now and enjoy the game when it comes out next week.
Notan4LT you're wrong!
Not to rub it in or anything but... "I told you so!"
alfred_ashford 3 years ago#8
it seems pretty clear it's a stand alone game. for dlc, you need a save file of the game to access the content and it's usually pointless. but this has a different setting and plot altogether. just like infamous festival of blood(hm, coincidence?).
hell, i think theyre only using the far cry name to get sales and due to it using the same engine.

Yes. It may be like inFamous: FOB where it's just a standalone game.

WASHINGTON -- The members of the South Carolina baseball team got a champion's welcome Monday from the nation's No. 1 fan, President Barack Obama.
On a sun-splashed evening, the national champion Gamecocks took part in a ceremony honoring collegiate champions from more than two dozen sports.
"This is the most athletic talent we've ever had on the South Lawn," Obama told 650 athletes and 150 coaches on the green expanse outside the White House.
"You didn't have multimillion-dollar contracts or huge endorsement deals," Obama said. "You woke up early. You put in countless hours of practice for the love of the game and for the pride of your school."
After Obama's remarks, clusters of Gamecocks joined groups from other schools as they dashed toward the rope line for a chance to chat with the president and shake his hand.
Associate coach Chad Holbrook, assistant coach Sammy Esposito, third baseman Adrian Morales and pitcher Steven Neff were among the first to reach Obama.
"I watched the championship game against UCLA," Obama told them.
"Congratulations on winning the national championship."
After exchanging greetings with pitchers John Taylor and Jose Mata, Obama started to walk away when Taylor shouted out: "Mr. President, what do you think about Manny (Ramirez) going to the White Sox?"
Obama, a former U.S. senator from Illinois, is a huge fan of sports teams from his hometown of Chicago. The president stopped, shook his head and delivered his verdict on last month's trade of the slugger from the Los Angeles Dodgers to his beloved Chicago White Sox.
"It's too late to help us," the president said. "Maybe we should pick up one of you guys."
Five Gamecocks from the championship team have signed professional contracts and could someday help a pennant contender: Pitchers Jordan Propst, Blake Cooper and Sam Dyson, outfielder Whit Merrifield and shortstop Bobby Haney.
Each athlete received a ceremony program on thick textured paper with the embossed White House seal and gold embroidery listing all of the champion teams.
The Gamecocks gave Obama some keepsakes -- a No. 10 Gamecocks jersey, signifying the 2010 championship, and 12 autographed baseballs. "This will be a day our players will never forget," Holbrook said.
As the ceremony got under way, hundreds of student athletes held camera phones above their heads as Obama walked across the lawn and approached the stage.
"No matter what you do, no matter where you end up, you will always know in your heart what it means to be the best there is at what you do," Obama told them. "You'll always know what it's like to set a goal and then reach it; what it feels like to hit your limit and then go beyond it; to get to the top and turn around and give others a hand."
Centerfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who was the College World Series MVP, took to heart the president's appreciation of their accomplishments and his call to service.
"It was great, Bradley said. "The president understands what we have to go through not only as athletes, but as students as well. It is sort of like we have double the load."
The White House ceremony capped a day of taking in the nation's capital and getting the red-carpet treatment from members of Congress representing South Carolina.
The Gamecocks spent some time with U.S. Sens. Jim DeMint and Lindsey Graham on Capitol Hill. "Just being on sacred ground and getting a behind-the-scenes view that most people don't get to see is pretty cool," said first baseman and designated hitter Jeffrey Jones. "It's my first time going to the White House."
The official U.S. House photographer took a shot of the baseball team on the steps of the Capitol with Graham and DeMint. Only once did politics come up.
When the photographer asked the ballplayers to line up to the left of Republicans Graham and DeMint, the Republican Graham quipped: "There's tons of room to our left."
Inside the Capitol, the team got a tour of the Senate and House chambers where the nation has declared war and where presidents have given State of the Union addresses for the past century.
"This is pretty special," said Austin Ashmore, an outfielder and redshirt sophomore. "After all the hoopla of the national championship, it continues here. This is some of the perks. It's a great thing to see."
The baseball players were not the only ones in awe.
When USC pitcher Michael Roth, whose complete game College World Series win was among the strongest performances of the championship tournament, shook hands with Graham, it was the state's senior senator who was gushing.
"You're a stud!" Graham exclaimed.
After the White House ceremony concluded, the team got back on its Champion Tours bus and headed home to Columbia. They planned to arrive by 4 a.m.
"We'll try to get the guys to class in the morning and to practice in the afternoon," Holbrook said.

What you'll need
- Chocolate Easter eggs. Go for a variety - from small mini eggs to larger (more visible) foil wrapped eggs.
- You could also buy plastic eggs which open up and you can pop a few little treats inside.
- A few bowls, baskets or pots to collect the eggs in
- Card, sellotape and paints
- Craft materials
- A pen and some paper
Before you start
It's always good to set a few ground rules before you start the hunt to ensure things are kept fair. Try the following:
- Create a base and ask each child to return to it once they have collected 5 eggs. They should stay there until all the children have returned before setting out again. That way you can ensure they all get the same amount of eggs.
- If you have a large group of children, pair the younger ones up with the older ones. Small children can be overwhelmed by older kids so it works better if they can work in teams.
- Rules on chocolate consumption are essential (unless you want a garden/house full of hyper children!) so make sure they have a clear understanding of how much they can eat. A few eggs once the hunt has finished is perfectly acceptable and the rest can be taken home for them to eat over the Easter holidays.
- Overall, an Easter egg hunt should be fun and enjoyable for everyone so set rules you know will work according to the ages and needs of the children involved. Just simple things like sharing, taking turns and being patient can make all the difference to how things run.

Don't Expect to See the 'Dark' Pee-Wee Herman Movie Any Time Soon
Posted on Monday, January 10th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Over the past few years Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman, has been talking up multiple new film projects. One now has Judd Apatow on board as producer, and a script is actively being crafted. It leaps off from the bright, child-like ideas of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and is meant to be very much in the spirit of Tim Burton's film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. The other movie was talked up as a darker, more adult Pee-Wee Herman film, but we haven't heard anything about that in some time. Now, according to the actor, it isn't going to happen any time soon. He also provides a brief update on the film being produced by Judd Apatow. Read More »

Based on concerns raised during public testimony, I've introduced a revised version of pending legislation granting the director of Water Supply power to enact special water-saving measures during times of drought or other water shortages.
The Water Resources Committee will consider the revised water-shortage bill on Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the Council Chambers.
Council members have reviewed this proposed legislation for months.
The County Water Code (Chapter 14.06 of the Maui County Code) gives the director of Water Supply the authority to impose certain conservation measures during a declared drought. The bill proposed by the administration would allow for enhanced conservation measures, including water-rate increases, when a "water shortage" has been declared by the director of Water Supply, with the mayor's consent.
A water shortage could be declared because of drought, mechanical malfunction, human error or other events leading to a shortage of water in a designated area.
Testimony before both the committee and the full council has suggested ways of improving the bill to provide a higher level of council oversight and safeguards for consumers, while still ensuring adequate protection of the county's water supply.
The revised version of the bill I have proposed requires the director of Water Supply to report to the council within 45 days on the status of a declared water shortage. My version also requires the council to review Chapter 14.06 every three years and make amendments as necessary to make the ordinance more effective.
These provisions ensure legislative oversight by the council on the public's behalf.
As proposed by the administration, consumers affected by the water shortage would be subject to a possible rate increase. My version of the legislation would shield affected consumers from water-rate increases when shortages are caused by infrastructure malfunction, mechanical malfunction or human error.
My proposal also includes a partial exemption for agricultural consumers. Farmers wouldn't face higher water rates for the first 60 days after a water-shortage declaration, allowing them time to reduce water consumption and revisit their farm plans.
These elements provide more consumer protection than the original version of the bill.
As amended, this bill fulfills one of the committee's primary responsibilities - to recommend updates to the Water Code to ensure our residents have a sufficient supply of drinkable water. When a water shortage exists in an area, it's important for the Department of Water Supply to move quickly to impose effective conservation measures for the benefit of residents in that area and throughout the county.
As can be seen by deliberations on the water-shortage bill so far this term, public testimony often has a direct impact on legislation pending before the council and its committees. So I urge anyone with remaining concerns to share them with the Water Resources Committee this coming Wednesday morning at 9 in the Council Chambers or in the Hana, Lanai or Molokai district offices.
You may submit testimony to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The quest for a dialogue among civilizations and
peoples is deeply entrenched in and associated with interaction among
countries, cultures and civilizations, especially in a multilateral
context. In regard to UNESCO's Constitution and the various programmes
and resolutions adopted by the Executive Board and General Conference
since the establishment of the Organization, the promotion of dialogue
in the service of peace – in order to build "peace in the minds of
men" – is clearly one of the main themes of UNESCO's mission.
Globalization and the emergence of new contemporary challenges and
threats to humankind make the need for dialogue among peoples ever more
topical. A principal objective of a dialogue is to bridge the gap in
knowledge about other civilizations, cultures and societies, to lay the
foundations for dialogue based on universally shared values and to
undertake concrete activities, inspired and driven by dialogue,
especially in the areas of education, cultural diversity and heritage,
the sciences and communication and media.

Berry Tramel: "So the West just keeps getting tougher, while the East shuffles deck chairs. A mediocre West team gets better by trading its superstar and improves its long-term prospects as well. That's potentially a trade for the ages. And that's why it's better to be in the West. I know, that sounds counter-intuitive. The East offers an easier path, both to the playoffs and in the playoffs, once you're there. But the West is the fast lane. The West is the fast heat. You've got to be sharp in the West. Got to be fine-tuned to stay tough in the West. Teams find out how good they really are, playing in the West. You keep up, or you get run over. Get better, or get lost."
Via the Norman Transcript, Russell Westbrook hung out with some Moore athletes: "Russell discussed his workout routines, gave advice to the students wanting to play at higher levels, gave advice to coaches about how to get the best out of their players, disclosed what his first purchase was after he signed his contract (a house for his mom), talked at length about his fashion decisions and everything in between. A recurring theme in his answers was the importance of education, focus and family. He told the crowd about graduating high school with a 3.9 GPA, how his father taught him the importance of focusing on achieving his goals. He also talked about his parents teaching him that faith and family were always top priority, followed by academics then basketball. He credits his ability to successfully balance all of the areas of his life to that lesson."
Updated title odds have the Cavs at 5/2, the Spurs at 4/1, the Bulls at 11/2 and the Thunder at 6/1.
Kevin Pelton of ESPN Insider breaking down the Cavs: "The playoffs are a slightly different story. There is evidence that good defenses tend to beat good offenses in the NBA Finals, and only one team has won the title with a below-average regular-season defense since the merger. (That team, the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers, was a major fluke; those Lakers had the league's best defense in the playoffs.) Of course, just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen, and we might look at the importance of defense differently had the 2007 Phoenix-San Antonio series played out differently. Still, the preliminary look at the 2014-15 Cavaliers suggests the most important newcomer on the roster isn't James or Love; it's Blatt, since his ability to mold this group into an above-average defense may well determine whether Cleveland can meet lofty expectations."
Alex Abrines made Spain's World Cup roster.
Missed it, but James Herbert of CBSSports.com gave OKC a C- for its offseason a couple weeks ago: "The progress of Jackson, Adams, Jones and Lamb was a significant subplot last year in Oklahoma City, especially before the All-Star break. As the regular season came to a close, it was clear that half of that group had been lost in the shuffle. The Thunder have developed players better than almost any team in the league, but it can be tricky to do that in the thick of a tight race for the conference's best record. Their relative inactivity in the offseason means that they're betting on more playing time and experience for the new class bringing better results. This is risky, but each of them has a high ceiling. It could very well work out."

Will the ammo fit in the magazine?
I would think that the cartridge is too long to be loaded into the magazine. That would account for no conversion barrels being available.
March 28, 2006, 07:05 AM
The magazine in the p-16 is the same size as the p-14 .45 mag.This isn't the problem.I know that this convesion use to be popular in IPSC but can't seem to find them now.
March 28, 2006, 08:32 AM
The 9x25 is a 10mm case necked down to 9mm; a 357 sig's big brother. I'm not sure a 10mm casing will fit in a 45ACP mag. I'd ask at brianenos.com forum. Lots of USPSA comp shooters are there and they'd be more likely than anyone to know how to find/make 9x25 specific parts.
March 28, 2006, 03:37 PM
To 1911user the 10mm was designed to fit in a 45 package.I have already built the gun with a brileys barrel but the rifling wore out after about 5 thousnd rounds so I am looking for a different maker.Thank you for the tip for brianenos.com I will try them next.
March 28, 2006, 06:02 PM
Contact Mike McNett[www.doubletapammo.com]. He may be able to tell you if any one is makeing them.
I know he makes that round and was taking orders for 10mm Glocks and I can't recall what other pistols.
SORRY! I just went to his site and he only has 9x25 conversion barrels for Glocks.

NEW YORK CITY – Dino Duva knows his way around a heavyweight. During his career as a promoter and working with his father Lou, a Hall of Fame trainer, Duva has been associated with champions like Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer and Samuel Peter.
Duva knows his way around China as well, having traveled there as a consultant with the Chinese amateur boxing federation. He helped set up U.S. style training camps and work with some of the top Chinese amateurs after the Beijing Games in 2008 and before the London Games in 2012.
Duva wants to meld that knowledge with a new promotion company, Dynasty Boxing, which he has started in partnership with Tommy and Terry Lanes, the sons of referee Mills Lane. Duva introduced the first boxer he has signed, Zhang Zhilei, a Chinese silver medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, at a press conference in Manhattan on Monday afternoon.
"Boxing is the third most watched sport in China behind basketball and soccer," Duva said. "Before 2008 it wasn't even on the charts. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The next crew of guys is going to take it to the next level. I'm happy I'm starting with Zhilei, the heavyweight, because I think he's a huge story. He's a nice guy. Good looking guy. And he's a good boxer."
Duva believes he is hitting the Chinese boxing market at the right time. Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank signed flyweight Zou Shiming, a two-time Olympic gold medalist for the Chinese team, last year and has done four shows in Macau, China with Shiming on the card.
"The market is huge. It's the fastest growing sport in China," Duva said. "It started building after the 2008 Games because the Chinese boxing team did so well. It was growing steadily in the three years after that. After the London Olympics when some of the athletes announced their intention to turn pro it took off. After Zou Shiming turned pro that's when it really exploded. I'm happy he broke the ground by turning pro. He laid a lot of the ground work for us."
Shiming and Zhilei were roommates during the Olympics and remain close friends. Zhilei said he and Shiming haven't spoken extensively about turning pro.
"He told me that everything with being in the pros is different than in the amateurs," Zhilei said through a translator.
At 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, Zhilei is indeed a super heavyweight. Duva said his style is well suited to professional boxing.
"I'd say he's a boxer-puncher with good power," Duva said. "He has nice footwork. When we were working with him in the amateur camps we thought he had a better pro style than amateur style."
Zhilei said he doesn't know what his amateur record is. He laughed when asked if he won more than he lost. He has faced some tough competition in the amateurs. He lost to Italy's Roberto Cammarelle in the gold medal round in Beijing in 2008, winning the silver medal, and he lost a tough decision to Anthony Joshua of Britain in the quarterfinals at the London Games in 2012.
Duva got to know Zhilei, and other members of the Chinese team, during six training camps that he helped organize and conduct with the team beginning in 2009. Those camps were conducted in the U.S. and in China. He waited for Zhilei to retire as an amateur and then had to go through several government channels in China before he could sign Zhilei to a contract. The entire process took over a year.
Zhilei will live and train in New Jersey. Duva said he is in the process of finding a trainer to work with the 31-year-old Zhilei. He has hooked him up with Mark Puttenvink, a strength and conditioning coach who worked with the New York Rangers and has worked with Yuri Foreman.
"I want to give him a solid month of strength and conditioning and a solid two months of boxing training. I want to make sure he's totally ready before the first fight," Duva said.
Zhilei could make his pro debut in May or June. Duva said he envisions Zhilei advancing through the heavyweight ranks and being in line for a title shot in a couple of years.
"I think heavyweights are different than boxers in lower weights," Duva said. "They don't have to fight as often. If he stays healthy, I think he could be ready after between 10 and 15 fights."
It has been a whirlwind for Zhilei since he landed in New York this past Saturday. His wife and 3-year-old son are still in Henan, China.
"This is the turning point of my life," Zhilei said. "Going from amateur to pro and moving here is going to change my life."
It is heady stuff for the son of two government workers who took up boxing when he grew too tall and too heavy to compete in canoeing at age 13.
"I didn't know anything about boxing," Zhilei said. "But once I started going to the gym and training I fell in love with boxing."

Elderly man found dead in Lancaster County
John Kilheffer's body found near his Conestoga Township home
An elderly man who disappeared Wednesday has been found dead in a field, according to police.
John Kilheffer, 87, had been missing since about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. He was last seen at his home in the 1200 block of Long Lane in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, police said.
Search crews and volunteers discovered his body Thursday morning about three quarters of a mile from his home.
Kilheffer suffered hypothermia and had been dead several hours, police said. He was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, they said.
"There were too many variables here for us to stay positive in terms of finding the gentlemen capable of surviving. But unfortunately the weather conditions -- the rain, the snow, the wind. All of those and his age especially were just factors that were against his odds as well as our odds of finding him safely," Southern Regional Police Chief John Fiorill said.
The spot where Kilheffer's body was found was still on his farm property. Police said it looks like he circled around the home before he sat down.
Friday would have been Killheffer's 88th birthday.

Information Precision and IPO Pricing
Feng Zhang
University of Utah - Department of Finance
January 6, 2012
Journal of Corporate Finance, Forthcoming
This paper investigates the role of information precision in IPO pricing. The model shows that more precise information will exert more influence on the offer price. In strong support of the model, I find that the proportion of the industry return during the waiting period that is incorporated into the offer price increases with a proxy for the precision of the industry return as a measure of the change in the IPO firm's value during the waiting period. The model and the empirical findings enhance our understanding of the partial adjustment phenomenon: noisy information will be partially incorporated into the offer price.

Ben Golliver of CBSSports.com on OKC's road to The Finals: "Fortune 500 companies often preach "continual improvement," the idea that competitive greatness is attained by pursuing a non-stop effort to make regular, incremental changes to both the processes and products to work out the kinks or to add the latest and greatest. The doctrine basically boils down to a cycle of building, assessing and refining. There may be certain benchmark goals in mind (revenue or market share targets, for example) but the idea is to be goal-oriented without being goal-obsessed. Fixating on an end result can be a distraction; doing things correctly and continually improving should get you there eventually. The modern NBA's "continual improvement" prototype is clearly the Oklahoma City Thunder, a franchise whose from-the-bottom rebuilding effort has been hailed as a "model" for years now. The Thunder have gone from awful (2008 and 2009) to very good (2010) to great (2011) and now, with less than a month remaining in the playoffs, they stand poised as 2012's clear favorites in the Western Conference."
Robert Mays of Grantland: "When the first quarter ended Thursday night, with the Lakers up 12 and a lathered, playoff-type crowd on its feet at Staples Center, it felt like we were seeing what might undo the Oklahoma City Thunder come June. Through the first 12 minutes, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were a combined 3-for-15. Andrew Bynum was handling Kendrick Perkins down low, and Kobe Bryant had nine points in what seemed like one of those nights where he would go off for 40. Everything argument for the Lakers as the chic new favorites in the Western Conference would be legitimized. Then something scary happened."

He Who Must Not Be Named is a clown.
OKC clinched a playoff spot yesterday. Two years ago, we all ran to the airport to celebrate that achievement. Now? It was an afterthought.

ESPN's Countdown crew talk MVP. Magic Johnson has KD as his MVP.
Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago: "Thibodeau tried to take some of the blame for the way his team performed. He said that it was his fault for not having them prepared. While that may be true to a certain extent, it was evident early that the Thunder simply wanted the game more than the Bulls did. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant raced up and down the floor and wreaked havoc on a Bulls' defense that didn't respond to the first punch, an issue that irked Thibodeau more than any other. When asked which aspect of the game disappointed him the points, Thibodeau had a quick response — "I just thought the fight," he said. Or lack thereof."
Westbrook on his dunk yesterday: "That's just a little something that I do."
Jenni Carlson: "I know I should be telling you to simmer down, reminding you that the Thunder's 92-78 pasting of the Bulls is a bit of an aberration that Chicago is a shell of itself without Derrick Rose, that back-to-back Sunday victories against the Beasts of the East doesn't automatically deliver the NBA title to Oklahoma City. But I can't do it. I can't tamp down the excitement. This Thunder team is the best in the NBA. Go crazy, folks. Go crazy."
Sekou Smith of NBA.com on Westbrook: "We pounded on Westbrook early in the season for his high turnover numbers, which is really not that shocking for a player who handles the ball as much as he does. In the 34 games before the All-Star break he averaged 4.2 turnovers. But in the 17 games since, that number has shrunk to 2.8. Those people wanting to write Westbrook off after he struggled during the playoffs last season, particularly in the Western Conference finals, need to man up and give the kid his due. It's time. And he's earned it."

Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal on KD: "The last time the Grizzlies ran into Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder forward showed no mercy and proved to be an unyielding force. Durant tossed in his team's final 10 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer, en route to 36 points and a seven-point Thunder victory. The brick wall that is Durant seems to have gotten taller since then."
