Basketball Defense - the Point-Zone DefenseBy James Gels, from the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net
The "point-zone defense" is a zone defense devised by coaching legend Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina. It has been used down the years by succeeding coaches in that program. Coach Smith always maintained that it not only is an effective zone defense, but is also very easy to teach, requiring little practice time for your players to learn it.
The point-zone defense has the advantages of getting pressure on the ball while still protecting the paint, and it is confusing for the opposing players and coaches. It looks like a 2-3 zone defense initially, and at other times it has the appearance of a 1-3-1 zone. The point-zone defense can be used against both one-guard and two-guard zone offenses.
Dean Smith
PartnersX1 and X4 work in a straight line as partners, and similarly X2 and X3 are partners. In diagram A below, the ball is on the top and X1 points to the ball while his partner X4 is on a straight line to the basket in the paint. We describe this as "point-partner-paint" (the partner of the pointer is in the paint). The X2 and X3 defenders are in a line perpendicular to X1 and X4 creating a defensive "X"... and if you can imagine X5 in the middle, our zone would look like a 1-3-1 zone.
In diagram B, the ball is on the right wing, and X2 points the ball. X3 drops into the paint protecting the weakside block and has weakside box-out, rebounding responsibility. X1 drops to the free-throw line and denies the pass into the high-post, while X4 moves to the ball-side block - short corner area.
Diagram C shows the initial pass going to the left wing. X3 will point the ball here with X2 dropping to the weakside block. We use X3 here to point the ball rather than X1, as X1 has to be available to point to the top if the ball is passed back to the point. Again, X1 protects the high-post while X4 moves to the ball-side block - short corner area.
The Center's (X5) RulesIn diagram D we see how X5 moves as the ball moves. X5 is always in a line between the ball and the basket and fronts the low-post player.
X5's four rules are:
- X5 is always in a line between the ball and the basket.
- X5 always fronts the low-post player.
- X5 keeps the ball out of the middle.
- If the O5 low-post player goes out on the perimeter (as in a 5-out offense), X5 moves out and plays O5 man-to-man.
Start in a 2-3 zoneAt the beginning of each possession, we start in a typical 2-3 zone set. If the ball is dribbled to the middle or point (diagram E), X1 points the ball, players rotate as described in diagram A above, and we now look like a 1-3-1 zone defense.
If the ball is passed to the right wing (diagram F), X2 points the ball, and players follow the rotation rules described in diagram B above. If the ball is passed to the left wing (diagram G), X3 points the ball and players rotate as described in diagram C above.
Offense in a two-guard frontIf the offense attacks with a two-guard front, just stay in a typical 2-3 zone defense.
X4 defends corner to cornerIf the ball is passed from the wing to the corner (diagram H), X4 points the ball in the corner. Notice that X5 fronts the low-post, X2 rebounds the backside, X1 keeps the ball out of the middle, and X3 defends or denies the pass back to the wing, and helps close the seam if O4 dribble-penetrates.
If the ball eventually reverses to the opposite side as seen in diagram J, and if it is passed into the right corner, X4 would again point the ball in the right corner.

Dean Smith's Point Zone Defense
with Dean Smith, legendary University of North Carolina head coach; 879 career wins; 2X NCAA Championship Coach; 4X National Coach of the Year; Basketball Hall of Fame ('83)
Coach Smith opens his "video vault" and welcomes you inside for an unprecedented look at the point zone. Fundamentally, the point zone is man-to-man pressure on the ball with a four-man zone in support. Disguising the defense is possible against baseline out-of-bounds plays and is a benefit of the point zone. Smith diagrams the two-man front to cover vulnerable areas along the baseline, the two-man trap against out-of-bounds plays and the 1-3-1 set. Rebounding coverage for guards is also thoroughly presented. Smith takes you through situational defensive coverages that come from years of experience with this zone... (more info)

The Confidence to Change.
The Clarity to take the Next Step.
The Conviction to See It Through.
"The Soulful Woman never again asks how someone died. She says instead, tell me how they lived." Tammy Holland, the Soulful Woman's Guide
How will you live your life?
The Soulful Woman's Guide to a Kick-Ass Life!
Many days it is impossible to believe that life can be anything but an endless stream of chaos. Our schedules are timed down to the 15-minute interval, with no time to take care of ourselves. We rarely make it on the list and are in a constant state of "doing."
"The Soulful Woman knows everyone wants a piece of her; her spouse, partner, kids, parents, work, community and it feels like a lot of the time, she has nothing left to give. She knows that it is precisely at this moment she has to push past her belief system, which says it is selfish to do something nourishing for her, and do just that."
Tammy Holland, the Soulful Woman's Guide
We women wear this lifestyle like a badge of honour. We take pride listing off all the places we need to be; the different directions we have to go; the things we need to get done and how many things we anticipate will go wrong along the way. We say yes to others and give endlessly when our bodies and minds are screaming "no!" We have very little left to give. What I've learned we are really doing is staying so busy so that we don't have to face the things we don't want to think about: our failing marriage; being in a job instead of passionate about a career; no real intimacy in our lives; fear of failure; feelings of unworthiness and feeling like we are not enough. We spend all this time racing to maintain our illusion of control. It is just too terrifying to stop and think.
I know first hand. I'm guilty. I was one of these women.
"The Soulful Woman knows the greatest gift she can give her children, and all the children of the world, is to show them what it looks like when she respects herself and lives her truth." Tammy Holland, the Soulful Woman's Guide
There is a better way – the Soulful Woman's Guide to a Kick-Ass Life!
We have proverbial closets full of emotions and experiences we haven't made time to deal with. We stuff these emotions and experiences deep into our bodies and lug them around like a thousand pound weight. We carry an unbearable amount of guilt for not living up to the mythical goddess of perfection. Everything from being too busy to prepare a home cooked meal; not being able to keep up with the demands of the household while holding down a fulltime job or running our business; no time left to invest in a relationship after all the goings on of the day are said and done; caring for aging parents; single parenthood; divorce; lack of a sex drive; no time to exercise; no time to date; time away from the family if we want to pursue a career, just to name a few.
We find it incredibly hard to say no to others and be okay with the discomfort that we might disappoint. Putting our own care on the top of the list screams so loudly against what we believe to be true: self-care = selfishness and good girls aren't selfish. How can we dare think of changing?
"The Soulful Woman knows how she treats herself teaches other people how to treat her in return." Tammy Holland, the Soulful Woman's Guide
We drive ourselves to unbelievable levels of exhaustion trying to live up to this mythical creature, the perfect wife, entrepreneur, mother, daughter, partner and hostess. And for most women, the only time we stop the madness is when our body puts the brakes on and lays us out flat on our backs, forcing us to stop. Even then, most of us drag our weakened bodies around while we try to keep up with the calendar of our life.
We are challenged to "lean in" to our careers and our businesses, to "have it all," but the cost of how we are going about this is too high. We are paying with our lives.
Is the time right for you to take the next step in your life?
One of the most courageous and loving things you can do for yourself is to take a risk and decide to change your life, especially when many of the people around you are standing still. Congratulations for taking the first step towards the life you've been dreaming about living!
When you stop and take time to look closely at how you're living your life, there's a good chance you'll be overwhelmed, even become paralyzed when you think about how to start making changes. It is difficult for you to imagine that there are good things waiting for you on the other side these changes. I promise you there are. Working together, we can help you find the confidence to make the changes, the clarity to take the next step and the conviction you need to see the changes through to the finish.
Using all my personal experience, corporate leadership experience, and my time as an entrepreneur, I'll expertly and compassionately guide and support you to make the changes you need to have the life and business of your dreams. As a wife and mother of two young men, I know firsthand what it's like to have the stress of a demanding career, manage unexpected changes, have quality time with the family and make time to take care of myself. For nearly two decades, I've invested time and money to learn how to tap into my body's own ability to heal itself, clear my mind and make lasting changes that have transformed the way I live my life.
Lean on my experience to save yourself time, pain, and not waste another day living someone else's vision for your life.
"The Soulful Woman is done living someone else's vision for her life. She confidently steps into her power – the truth of who she is and is willing to share the wisdom from her journey with an open heart, compassion and vulnerability, exposing her deepest fears to help others feel safe and thrive." Tammy Holland, the Soulful Woman's Guide
The Confidence to change. The Clarity to take the next step. The Conviction to see it through.
As a Coach and Change Expert, I believe when people are confident in who they are and what they bring to the world, amazing results happen. With expertise and compassion, I will help you navigate the terrain of change, coaching you to "Bring Your Best to the World" in a way that helps you achieve your business and personal goals.
As your Coach and Guide, I'll take (guide) you through a personalized program to Discover Your Unique Life's Vision, help you create the plan to Bring Your Vision to Life, and Coach you through the Breakthrough Transformations you will need to make to have that life.

Today is September 29, 2016 -
Social Action/Tikun Olam
SA/TO Program Ideas
Social Action
Another part of SA/TO is the wonderful world of Social Action. Here are some program suggestions that chapters and regions can incorporate into your events.
- FANN – Feed A Needy Neighbor – Have a food collection box set up in your synagogue at all times. Contact your Rabbi to find out if there is a local shelter that you can bring the food to. You can also have a different theme for each month, such as baby food, or food for Passover.
- Project Graduation – Invite USYers to a drug free and alcohol-free graduation party. Call the members of your synagogue to get donations to sponsor this graduation party, so that the USYers can come for free. Donate the extra money to Tikun Olam.
- Bar/Bat Mitzvah Clothing Drive – Try to get bar and bat mitzvah age kids to include a letter with their invitations asking guests to bring either food, clothing , or toy donations to the affair.
- River/Beach Clean Up – Go with your local USY chapter to clean up a local beach, pond, or river.
- Nature Hike – Take your USY chapter on a nature hike at a local nature center. Ask them if there is any yard work or cleaning up you can do. Invite everyone to stay after for a picnic.
- Humane Society – Contact your local Humane Society to find out if they need any volunteers. They usually need people to walk dogs or help them clean up. Some humane societies require you to be over sixteen in order to volunteer.
- Hospital Helpers – Find out if your local hospital has a candy striper volunteer program. You can also try to have your USY chapter go to the hospital on Chanukah or Purim to sing in the children's ward.
- Tutoring – Volunteer to tutor a Hebrew school student who is having trouble. Don't accept money, but if the parents insist, have them give a donation to Tikun Olam instead.
- Highway, Campus, or Synagogue Cleanup – Contact your city hall to find out if there is a park or highway that needs to be cleaned up. This is a good project to do during the spring.
- Sandwich Brigades – Ask people in your synagogue to donate bread, peanut butter and jelly, and any other things that could be used to make sandwiches. Then have USYers make an assembly line at your synagogue to make as many sandwiches as possible. Bring the sandwiches to a local homeless shelter. Make sure to contact a shelter before you do this program. There may be certain restrictions involved or a certain way they need to be packaged.
- AIDS or Drunk Driving Awareness – A group program involving notecards saying "I have AIDS," or "I am rich," or "I have contagious disease" or "I was killed by a drunk driver" … Each notecard says something different. The notecards are then taped, on each person's back, facing out so what is written can be read. Then, everyone stands up and acts and treats everyone else like they really have AIDS or whatever it says on their card. After about l5 minutes, everyone sits down and says how they felt and were treated.
- Assisting local Jewish Federation – Many times local Jewish Federations hold fundraising events or telethons to raise money for various causes. Call them up and volunteer to help the Jewish community at large.
- Kashering the Kitchen – Offer to help your synagogue Kasher their kitchen for Pesach. It's a tough job, but a great way to become more involved in your community.
Tikun Olam
Is your chapter looking for the perfect small program idea? Well then you've found the right place to look! Also, don't forget to check the main USY Online Program Bank.
- Phone-a-thon – USYers meet on a Sunday and go through the synagogue roster asking for T.O. donations.
- Fashion Show – Get businesses to donate clothes and have people wear them in a fashion show. Charge admission to congregants for coming. Provide food.
- Closed Shoe box auction – Everyone brings something worth about $3 and up. They try to sell their box without telling everyone what it is. They make it sound as good as possible. All money raised goes to Tikun Olam.
- Bagel Sale – Sell bagels on Sunday mornings in your synagogue lobby. (This is only successful is your Shul has a Hebrew school, or if many people are there on Sunday mornings.) Remember to tell your local bagel shop that all proceeds go to T.O. and charge enough to make a good profit.
- Car Wash
- Entertainment for Tikun Olam – Ask a local high-school band (preferably Jewish) or a comedian to come entertain at your shul. Charge between $10- $25 (depending on expenses) and with proper publicity, this event is a huge success.
- Silent Auction – Great event for a Purim carnival. Ask for donations from community stores and set up a silent auction with proceeds going to T.O.
- Dance-a-Thon – The dance-a-thon is a fund-raiser for TO. Each member is given a pledge sheet to get money to dance for a night. This can be based on the minute, hour, set, or whatever the chapter decides. The money is then collected for the amount of time each person dances.

Aim High Makes Big Headlines This Week
Line of umbrella stands and tables a big hit with consumers.
For starters, the corporation just announced an enormous line of new home furniture products. Included in this particular fall's launch are the 3D umbrella stand and DIY computer desk. These new releases are already very popular with shoppers, and should therefore become great sellers. More importantly, Aim High announced their DIY umbrella holder and DIY umbrella stand. These products include an indoor version (indoor umbrella stand and indoor umbrella holder), which analysts believe will have an enormous affect on their quarterly profits.
Together with these products, they're finally going to release new and improved LCD monitor stands during the year 2013. While their approaching launches are essential, the ones that are most likely arriving in 2013 will generate even higher consumer demand amongst customers, and should have a good retail debut.
Since last summer shoppers in Korea have had few designer furniture lines to choose from. This season, however, things should be different. Aim High's LCD monitor stands and monitor support system are very elegant, and their metal umbrella holder (which is being redesigned) has been a top-seller the past couple of years. Further, analysts expect their multipurpose folding table (aka Smart Table) and transformable table will be highly popular among young consumers living in small dwellings.
And in case that wasn't enough, the boss of the company says their one-of-a-kind 'trayble' and wet umbrella stand will be the firm's new bestsellers. Regrettably they wouldn't give the press any additional particulars regarding the trayble, but we still expect a spring 2013 release.
In either case, no matter whether or not the trayble is as great as they think, we cannot remember the last time we were so thrilled for a table (or tray?). These things could change living room dining forever.
If you would like to know more about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Aim High, feel free to contact them at: +82-31-432-4268 or via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Beyond the Stacks
Curating digital library collections
From a sparsely decorated office tucked away on an upper floor of Smith Union, the head of electronic and continuing resources oversees a trove of over 60,000 electronic serials. By building, organizing, and maintaining PSU Library's collections, Jian Wang ensures that students and faculty, whether on campus or online, can easily access the latest innovations on their topics, from criminology to social work, medicine to visual arts.
Wang's motivation logs on to the library website each day: PSU students.
"I know how students feel if they cannot find information," she says. "When I was in school and could not find an article, journal or book, I felt very frustrated. We want to give students the best chance of success."
For many, round-the-clock access is essential to that success. Whether updating electronic journals or troubleshooting an issue with inter library loans, Wang and her staff work on problems nearly 24/7.
That constant demand for information has forever linked libraries and technology.
"Libraries and information technologies have to have a collaborative partnership in order to best serve students and campus and faculty," Wang says.
Of course, the hottest tech tool is lifeless without a deep appreciation for the boundary-busting, mind-expanding power of knowledge. That's what makes librarians even more indispensable in today's information age, Wang says.

Rumble in the Concrete Jungle
Out with the boats and in with the bikes. The third annual Rumble in the Concrete Jungle kicks off the 2016 Whitewater Race Series, as bikes of all shapes and sizes take to the world's largest manmade whitewater river for this one of a kind cycling race.
The Downhill Race will be a time trial from the top of the Competition Channel to the bottom. The course will be designed to maximize the full potential of the banked whitewater channels. While the elevation drop is minimal, the banked channel walls, wooden structures, jumps, and various other obstacles make for a unique and technical course unlike any other. Each participant will be given two timed runs; the best time being used for scoring. The participant with the fastest time will be named the winner.
Following the Downhill Race will be the Short-Track Bike Races. The course will be similar to the downhill course with added mileage to create a circuit which will be raced for 30-minutes for the Women's Open, Men's Beginner and Juniors categories and 40-minutes for the Men's Open category.

Hot Rods in HDR
Today I was reading about HDR and decided to get some inspiration on the subject. I am a super fan of HDR photos and we've been posting about it since the very first year of the blog. It's incredible to see how popular HDR has become and I'm still amazed by the visual style this technique can give to photos. Atomicpixal demonstrates this beautifully with some HDR photos of cars that look like legit illustrations of hot rods. I have been a Freelance Photographer for a very long time. I enjoy post processing images as well as taking them.

Mariah Carey: Stress Caused Breakdown
Following some erratic behavior during recent personal appearances -- including her doing an impromptu striptease on MTV during an interview with Carson Daly -- on July 25 Mariah Carey, 32, checked herself into the hospital, where she is receiving both medical and psychiatric care. Speaking to PEOPLE, Carey's publicist, Cindi Berger, insists that the pop diva's behavior had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. "She literally was on no sleep," Berger says in the new issue. Adds Carey's mother, Patricia, 69, who accompanied her daughter to the facility: "She's finally getting some much needed rest." Just before her breakdown, Carey had returned from a grueling two-week European promotional tour. Career setbacks added to the stress. Carey watched "Loverboy" (the first single from "Glitter") nose-dive to No. 60 on Billboard's singles chart. It soared back to No. 2 at the end of July but only after Virgin slashed the price of the single to 49 cents. Romantic woes also may have played a role. Carey's heated three-year love affair with Latin singer Luis Miguel, 31, had cooled in recent months, reports PEOPLE, and the two have not seen each other since April. Sources close to the singer are also convinced that ex-husband and Sony Music Entertainment chief Tommy Mottola, 53, is behind a campaign to derail Carey's career by feeding damaging rumors (of a feud with fellow Virgin artist Janet Jackson, for example) to the media. One Carey associate asserts that Mottola wants revenge "because she left him, and she's out of his hands."

Juanma: Salido Rematch The Last Fight at 126-Pounds
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Former champion Juan Manuel Lopez (30-1, 27KOs) is hoping the rematch with Orlando Salido will happen before the end of the year. On Saturday night in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Lopez was shocked in eight rounds when Salido stopped him. Salido picked up Juanma's WBO featherweight title and according a recent story on BoxingScene.com the Mexican boxer is planning to make his first defense on Mexican soil in July.
For months there were numerous stories on BoxingScene regarding Juanma's pre-fight weight issues. In January several photos appeared on BoxingScene where Juanma had the appearance of being very overweight. His promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, confirms the Puerto Rican star was close to 180 or 190-pounds in December.
Lopez hopes to have the rematch in the fall, because he needs to move up. The plan to head to 130 was always in the cards for 2012.
"Hopefully it will be an immediate rematch," Lopez said. "Definitely I'm going to move up to 130-pounds and I was always going to do that next year, but first we hope to make the rematch. Arum and Peter [Rivera] will be responsible for that."
With this loss, I'm wondering if Caballero's determination to challenge Lopez has changed in any way. I hope Juanma re-evaluates his corner. He needs to become a more complete fighter to win a rematch with Salido.Comment by newcastleking on 04-18-2011
yep, lopez thought it was gonna be a breeze and got socked up bigtimeComment by blaze778 on 04-18-2011
Whether he took Salido lightly is debatable, but the fact that Lopez couldn't make any adjustments in the fight worries me. Lopez got hit with some major bombs. And besides defense, his punches looked sluggish and without the pop that…Comment by boxfamof5 on 04-18-2011
Unless he learns defense, the outcome will be the same. I remember telling my wife (during the second round of the fight) how Juanma was having a very Cotto-Margarito-esque performance and allowing himself to be hit alot more than he…Comment by edgarg on 04-18-2011

are in the MOST Phase I website (1994-2003).
The MOST Phase II website is available at: www.unesco.org/shs/most.
How individuals perceive others is often determined by cultural
backgrounds, socio-political, ideological and religious frameworks.
Such perceptions, one of the other, often come to be culturally
embedded, laden with misleading content and images reaching beyond
standardised mental pictures of individuals. Often they result
in misunderstandings of ethnic, racial, religious and national
groupings, causing social resentments. Such misunderstandings
can generate misconceptions at four levels which percolate across
national frontiers: Western perceptions of Arabic lifestyles;
Arabic perceptions of Western lifestyles; Western reactions to
Arabic perceptions of Western lifestyles; Arabic reactions to
Western perceptions of Arabic lifestyles.
This conference aimed at an understanding of the dynamics causing social misconceptions of Arabic 'alterity' and seeked to set models for social transformations based on understanding differences without discrimination or prejudice. In collaboration with the Arab Sociological Association in Tunis and the Management of Social Transformations (MOST) programme of UNESCO, EUMENESS planned this conference to set up a structure for policy recommendations to promote early education teaching-tools in combating social prejudices between the North and South shores of the Mediterranean.
The proceedings of this conference inspired Volume 11, No.1 of the
"Journal of Mediterranean Studies: History,
Culture and Society in the Mediterranean World." which addressed
problems of stereotypes and their effects in the context of the Mediterranean
as a means to comprehend the wider problematic of "getting along"
and coexistence in the region. It is published by the Mediterranean Institute,
University of Malta.

It's about respect: Erie-area colleges urge off-campus students to be good neighbors
Jon Mehm and Scott Helfrich mean no disrespect -- and they want their neighbors to know that.
The Mercyhurst University seniors are friends who live in separate off-campus rental houses in neighborhoods rimming the campus.
In many of those areas, student rentals were once a rarity.
Now, it's not unusual to see students renting three or four houses on the same residential street in the Mercyhurst area.
Many longtime neighbors say that brings myriad issues, such as underage drinking, spikes in noise and traffic, litter, parking problems, absentee landlords and zoning violations.
Mehm, an intelligence studies major, and Helfrich, majoring in biology/pre-med, don't deny those concerns.
"If we're going to have a party, we tell the neighbors before. We pick up the trash and we try to be respectful," said Helfrich, 22, whose house in the 4200 block of Parade Boulevard hosted a "toga party" on Friday night and early Saturday.
Both Mehm and Helfrich attended an April 4 meeting at City Hall, where Mercyhurst-area neighbors vented their concerns about students to Erie City Council.
"They're our neighborhoods, too," said Mehm, 21, who rents with two friends in the 500 block of East 37th Street. "And we want them to be nice. I'm not just going to say 'screw you' or anything if someone complains about something."
Colleges in the Erie area, including Mercyhurst, Gannon University, Penn State Behrend and Edinboro University, all urge students to respect their neighbors -- and warn that students can be held accountable for disruptive behavior, on or off campus.

Panix Pass or Panixer Pass (Romansh: Pass dil Veptga, German: Panixerpass) (2404 m) is a Swiss Alpine pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden.
The pass was once an important trade route between the canton of Glarus and Italy. It connects Elm in the Sernftal in Glarus with Pigniu (Panix) in the Vorderrhein valley of Graubünden. It is not passable by car.
In October of 1799, Russian General Alexander Suvorov made a strategic retreat from the French Revolutionary forces south over the pass and regrouped his forces in Austria.

Lawyer's Response to Terrence Jones Stomping a Homeless Guy Confusing
I must admit I was utterly dismayed on Wednesday, first to learn that second-year Rockets forward Terrence Jones was arrested for harassing and stomping on the leg of a homeless man in Portland, and second, that his lawyer seemed befuddled by the charges.
Every indication is that Jones, who only played sporadically in his rookie season, is a good kid. And make no mistake, he is a kid. At only 21, he's barely old enough to drink, so it stands to reason he will do some stupid things on occasion. But there were also whispers out of Rocket-land last year that Jones didn't get as much playing time as he wanted or thought he deserved because he wasn't working as hard as coaches would have liked and he had a tendency to grumble about it.
Kevin McHale is old school. He doesn't really put up with dissent in the ranks, especially when it comes from a rookie. But by the end of the year, Jones was arguably the team's best option at power forward. Going into this season, he is the odds-on favorite to start alongside Dwight Howard.
But this type of behavior cannot be excused. According to police reports, an officer who witnessed the entire incident said Jones yelled at a homeless man who was asleep on the sidewalk and then "stomped" on his leg. The man was not injured and declined to press charges, so maybe stomp is too strong a word, but the very act of a millionaire athlete messing with a homeless guy sleeping on the street is pretty disgusting.

If that were all, and Jones apologized, maybe it wouldn't bother me as much, but then Jones's lawyer opened his mouth.
Kevin O'Connell was quoted in the Chron story thus:
"I'm convinced this is not a criminal incident," O'Connell said. "He's charged with harassment, and it will go away, I'm sure. It should not be a criminal matter. I think Terrence told him, 'You better wake up,' or something. The fella was sleeping on the sidewalk.
"He's very embarrassed by this. He's a young kid who can't understand why this happened. He's really upset over it. He's not a person who would do something spiteful."
First, the obvious. He SHOULD be embarrassed and, yes, he's a young kid who should be upset. I also doubt he is a spiteful person. But what exactly does "can't understand why this happened" mean? It's pretty simple. If the reports are true, Jones acted like a punk, thought he would get away with it and a cop who was nearby thought otherwise. There is no surprise to this story. You kick some guy who is literally down in front of a cop, and you are probably going to get busted.
Now, since the man was not willing to press charges, Jones was charged with harassment, a Class B misdemeanor. In reality, this and the bad publicity -- not to mention whatever the league and/or the Rockets decide to do about it -- are probably enough for what happened, especially if Jones is truly sorry for what he did. But O'Connell's response to the charges is baffling.
"It will go away." Um, what? Who are you, a mafioso? This is Terrence Jones, not Michael Jordan. And even if it could just "go away," that isn't exactly how it works when it is out in the media. Until he answers those questions a BUNCH of times, this incident isn't going anywhere. He's just lucky it happened two months before training camp starts.
And this whole line of bullshit about how all he did was tell him "''you better wake up', or something" because the "fella" was sleeping on the sidewalk paints a pretty damn rosy picture of a 6-foot 9-inch athlete dropping his size 15s (or something) onto a sleeping dude's leg. So WHAT if the guy is sleeping? When did Jones suddenly become the mayor of I'm Going to Clean Up the Streets-ville?
Instead of minding his own business, he decided to act like a jackass and he got busted. It's probably a good thing. He didn't actually hurt anyone and this will no doubt be one of the most embarrassing moments of his career -- at least we can all hope. Maybe that will snap him out of it and he'll mature as a result. It's not like any of us could ever see James Harden or Jeremy Lin or Chandler Parsons or Dwight Howard going Karate Kid on a dude sleeping on the sidewalk. Maybe he'll learn his lesson. Maybe his lawyer will, too.

CHINA: Nissan Jan-Feb sales likely down around 20% - exec
By Graeme Roberts | 26 February 2013
Nissan Motor's Jan-Feb sales in China may have fallen around 20% year on year, including negative sales growth for February, the company's China head Kimiyasu Nakamura said.
Nissan, the most exposed of Japan's leading carmakers to China, said earlier in the month its China sales rose 22.2% in January from a year earlier, an improvement from a fall of 24% in December, although the figures were impacted by the timing of the week-long Lunar New Year holiday, Reuters reported.
Showrooms in the world's largest car market are often closed for much of China's Lunar New Year holiday, a week-long break that fell in January in 2012 but came in February this year.
Sales of Japanese carmakers plunged almost 50% in October after an outbreak of tension over a chain of disputed islands led to violent protests and a boycott of Japanese-branded goods in China.

Price Paid: $29
Straps are a little narrow, even for a basic trekking pole. Poles are very light however and strong. They have helped my son and myself get through some tough stretches of hiking. I've only had the poles slip down out of their locked position a couple of times. Cork grips are very nice.
Great starter poles that I will give to my son when I get old and need Anti-shock versions. Adjust up to 145 cm.

Ricky Hatton: Matthew is Bringing The Belt To England
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Ricky Hatton was very worried when his younger brother, Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KOs) signed a contract to fight unbeaten Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KOs). The fight happens later tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Matthew has tasted waters above the welterweight division in the past. Alvarez has a decent punch and he's more built for 154-pounds. The boxers agreed to meet in the middle, at a catch-weight of 150-pounds.
On Friday, Alvarez failed to honor his end of the agreement. He weighed in at 151.4 on his second attempt. The fight moves forward after a further agreement was reached behind closed doors. Hatton will receive $35,000 from Alvarez's purse.
After Ricky watched how hard his younger brother has prepared for the fight, he's no longer worried. The boxers are fighting for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title.
"In a beginning it worried me because my brother was going to fight a strong contender like Canelo, but after watching the way he's prepared, I'm not worried anymore. Matthew never takes a step back. The belt is going back to my country," Ricky Hatton said.

The server business continued to slide in the second quarter with worldwide revenue and unit sales down, IDC said Tuesday.
Revenue was down 6.2 per cent to $11.9 billion in the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year decline, as demand for servers continued to soften in most geographic regions, the research firm said.

Just making sure the issue wasn't isolated to our area like it was last time. I work with someone whose spouse is a charter tech in the area. I'm passing it on to them. Maybe that will give some results.

We always have problem with WLOS drop out on Charter 713. No other channels have problem, so 13 is also a problem on Charter as well as antenna. I wonder if Charter retransmits their OTA signal which can be problematic and subject to interference. Fortunately I have the antenna signal stable and reliable, but it took a bit of work and is a known issue in the Upstate.

Day 33: Journal Communications letter to employees on blackout
Journal Communications employees received the following memo Monday, on the 33rd day of the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), on Time Warner Cable.
The dispute between them is over fees the cable service pays to carry a stations' programming. Time Warner is in a similar dispute with CBS-owned stations, whose settlement will set the standard for the future, said the Hollywood Reporter. »Read Full Blog Post(23)
Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Eleven
One regrettable, if inevitable, occurrence during a film festival is that films you want to see often play opposite each other. That occurs Sunday at the Milwaukee Film Festival with parallel screenings of "The Act of Killing" (Downer Theatre) and "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" (Fox-Bay Cinema Grill), both at 8 p.m.
"The Act of Killing" is an appalling yet compelling and strangely beautiful documentary in which the Indonesian gangsters and paramilitary group members who killed 1 million Chinese "communists" in 1965 re-create their crimes as surreal movie scenes. »Read Full Blog Post

Skip to comments.Presidential autographs may go for $6K
Posted on 01/18/2009 4:23:55 PM PST by Sub-Driver
click here to read article
The first time I saw the 0bama coin commercial I called the 1-800 number and asked them when they were going to sell 0bama toilet paper so that I could wipe my backside with "hope and change". The guy was so speechless that he couldn't answer me so I hung up!
Not the AC, but a model of how the AC will be adored.
"Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we're rolling along
Singing a song,
Side by Side.
Howdy, trussell.
Wouldn't even give one of those for it — and ya beat me to it :)
Howdy Eastbound...
Hope you are well!
Hot Hot. Get them while they're relevant,. Obam sigs. May be worth some money soneday as they were singed in the period Obama didn't screw something up royally. If you remember that was only 3.5 minutes.
My guess is the Obama autograph bubble will burst within the next four years. Buy now and make your profit quickly.
I don't care if he is or isn't at this point.
It would almost be a relief if this nonsense finally did reach some kind of head.
similar to how "Carbon Credits" offset Global Warming, the "Hope Credit" annuities are designed to offset the global financial crisis
I wonder if the Lincoln bedroom will be for sale again.
Might be worth the investment. Some Hitler 'graphs are worth up to $30K. How much will Obamarama's be worth after he has destroyed America? Hundreds of thousands? Enough to buy a loaf of bread...
Brother, can I get $10 thousand for a rousing speech?
PT Barnum was right. A sucker born every minute.
That would not surprise me. Is there more room on Rushmore? Frikkin ridiculous.
The selling of the White House.
There are a lot of things I would buy for an extra 6k. His autograph isn't one of them though. By the way I have President Bush' autographed picture. I started to say it was free since my son received it at his graduation but thinking back it was very expensive. 18 years of work :')
Gosh, what will it cost to touch his robe?
Breaking news?
Wanna make a bet that Obama winds up on a dollar bill? There was a rumor that the idea of a $25.00 bill would be put into circulation and his face was gonna be on it.
I have a better idea. In an effort to simplify and expedite the overthrow of this once great democracy, why not do what The Post Office did to the stamp?
Create "The Forever President".
Six thousand dollars? I'm will to part with one of these for that little piece of "history".
How can I use that information to work for me?......I'll get a priceless autograph and use it for a 65" Sharp Aquos...
wow I knew inflation would go up under phony but that much money for toilet paper is taking the pi$$
Priceless in ways you will never know.
I would not give a nickel for one.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: 05-2009-NEW/BOS 2005-318
Tuesday, November 8, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
NEW YORK -- Improving occupational safety and health for Mexican workers in New York and New Jersey is the goal of a newly-signed alliance between the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Consulate General of Mexico in New York City.
OSHA and the consulate will jointly develop and provide training and education programs to non-English or limited-English speaking employees and employers. The training, to be delivered in Spanish, will focus on reducing workers' exposure to fall, electrical, amputation and other hazards. It will include delivery in Spanish of OSHA's 10- and 30-hour general and construction industry courses.
"OSHA and the consulate, along with other faith-based and community organizations, will work with the local Mexican community in New York and New Jersey to enhance safety and health awareness," said OSHA Regional Administrator Patricia K. Clark.
The alliance will encourage bi-lingual individuals to take OSHA's Train-the-Trainer courses so they can qualify to teach the OSHA 10- and 30-hour courses in Spanish. In addition, the consulate's constituency will be encouraged to develop relationships with OSHA offices regarding safety and health issues and to participate in OSHA's cooperative programs.
"It's critical that we provide workers in the Mexican community with the knowledge to identify occupational hazards and protect themselves against workplace injuries and illnesses," said OSHA Regional Hispanic Coordinator Diana Cortez.
The alliance was signed Oct. 12 at the Mexican Consulate in New York City. Signatories were Clark; Cortez; Arturo Sarukhan Casamitjana, consul general of Mexico; and Norberto Terraza, consul in charge of legal protection of Mexican citizens.
OSHA health and safety alliances are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships. OSHA has created more than 325 alliances with organizations committed to fostering safety and health in the workplace. Additional information about this alliance and OSHA's Hispanic outreach activities in the New York region can be obtained by calling OSHA's Tarrytown area office at (914) 524-7510.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7773 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations. For more information, please visit www.dol.gov/compliance.

(I posted this on the Ds board and one of the moms suggested I share it here too):
We went out to dinner tonight at a local pub. One of Anthony's schoolmates from preschool happened to be there with his family too. As soon as we walked in, he screamed "Anthony!" And ran over to give him a huge hug. Then he excitedly talked to his parents and older brother about how Anthony uses signs to talk. His dad told us that his son is learning so many signs at school and he comes home every night with new ones. It was so great to see the genuine affection between these friends- total acceptance. Reed kept coming over to hug Anthony. I hope this will reassure some of the new parents.
And here he is having dinner with Daddy...talk about more alike than different- :)

Queb's Picks: LSU-Florida game headlines this week's contest
This week's prep football slate is filled with a number of interesting matchups, but the one game that everyone is waiting for takes place on Saturday in Death Valley - LSU vs. Florida.
Anytime the Gators venture to Baton Rouge, it's a big deal regardless of the records or rankings.
This year, however, both teams find themselves with one loss on the young season. No. 18 Florida is 3-1 overall and 2-0 in SEC play, while No. 10 LSU is 3-1 and 2-0.
Will LSU be able to avenge last year's 14-6 loss in Gainesville?
Will the Tigers' defense, especially the secondary, finally show up?
Or will Florida, with the top-ranked defense in the SEC, be able to slow down Zach Mettenberger and pull off a monumental upset in the Valley?
Personally, I can't see the Tigers dropping this one.
I do think Florida will put points on the board, probably a bunch. But I think LSU will put up more.
I've got the Tigers, baby.
Now, before we venture off to the rest of this week's picks, let's have a look at last week's contest results:
My buddy Dennis Fontenot, known to most as "Sup," destroyed the competition last week, missing just two games. As was the case with most contestants, he missed out on the Rayne-LaGrange game and just one college contest.
Doug LaCombe and Greg Monceaux each lost three games, but LaCombe claimed runnersup honors by virtue of the tiebreaker.
As for myself, it was a five-loss week, which actually wasn't that bad considering most of the contestants dropped seven games or better.
Now, for the other picks:
Starting off locally in the high school ranks, I'm taking Notre Dame over West St. Mary. Not to disrespect any of the teams left on their schedule, but there really isn't a team left that can give the Pios much of a run.
I'm also going with the Crowley Gents over Washington Marion. The Gents are getting better and better every week and, hopefully, that trend will continue tonight.
I'm also taking Rayne over Morgan City and Church Point over Pine Prairie.
Unfortunately, I can't be a homer on the Iota-Iowa game. The Yellow Jackets look to be contenders in Class 3A and the Bulldogs are still struggling to find an identity. I'm taking Iowa by a few scores.
In other prep games, I'm taking Rummel over Shaw, University over Parkview, Lutcher over St. Michael, Vinton over Welsh, Loreauville over Opelousas Catholic, Erath over Abbeville, Beau Chene over Opelousas and Port Barre over Ville Platte.
In the college games I'm taking TCU over Kansas, Michigan State over Indiana, Wisconsin over Northwestern, Georgia over Missouri, USC over Arizona and Oklahoma over Texas.

Yesterday, to mark the occasion of his sixteenth birthday, I took my six foot, six inch son shopping in London's Oxford Street. Whilst doing so I came across a rather disturbing phenomenon. Though I was holding the cash and doing most of the talking, the female shop assistants spent all their time ogling my son.
After about the tenth time of this happening I made the mistake of mentioning it to him and he, while simultaneously looking down on me from his great height said.
'Well, you are getting a bit thin on top there, dad.'
That night I went home and under a bright light examined my hairline in the mirror from various angles. After confirming his prognosis I briefly wept, then sadly spent the majority of the evening on-line, researching hair replacement options.
The results were surprisingly encouraging. I discovered that for between three to six thousand pounds and a minor operation under local anesthetic I could replace the hair at the crown of my head with transplanted doner hair from a region just above the collar-line. So in theory, I could regain the thick locks that I once had in my youth.
With hope restored I got down to the real task I had set myself for the night, to write a football based article.
As the clock was now ticking I considered it a more judicious use of my time to combine my earlier research with my current project so I came up with this hypothesis.
Taking into consideration the technological advancements in hair replacement and combining them with the huge wages that modern day footballers now earn, it would be a simple process for them to restore any hair loss issues they might have and consequently, the golden age of the iconic, genetically bald footballer might be over for ever.
In light of that shocking thought I proceeded to comprise a list of some of the most memorable baldies to grace both the English and the World game.
