Goldman Sachs analysts Heath Terry, Maria Seredina, and Mrinal Pareek published a report on December 14th. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is bullish on the internet penetration growth but many of the online advertisers are rated as neutral or have sell recommendations which is in contrast to the ecommerce business. We think this can create a good opportunity for investors to create a long/short portfolio within the internet space.
Here are the highlights of the companies in the Online Advertising sector, recommended by Goldman Sachs:
AOL (NYSE:AOL), an online Web services company, has a number of brands dealing with consumers, publishers, and advertisers. It has been given a neutral rating by Goldman Sachs. Huffington Post, Engadget, TMZ, and other websites are part of AOL's advertising business and it generated 60% of its revenues through advertisements on such companies. AOL's access business generates operating profit greater than 100%. Goldman Sachs says that it leverages its free cash flow by doing acquisitions or organic means (such as local news and community websites). Goldman Sachs expects online advertising to keep growing in coming years. Currently, its stock is trading at $14.13 and is expected to reach a target of $15. AOL's market capitalization stands at $1.49 billion and has earnings per share of $0.51. Its P/E ratio is 27.66x while net margin stands at 1.4%. Goldman believes that an EV/EBITDA ratio of 3.5x is expected to be achieved in 2013, but that is still below the sector average of 9.2x.
comScore (NASDAQ:SCOR) helps customers develop digital business strategies by providing a digital marketing intelligence platform. Goldman Sachs has issued a sell rating to the company's stock and we think investors can benefit by short selling the stock. Goldman Sachs thinks that with continued fragmentation in the internet usage among devices, comScore's job is becoming quite tasking. It is getting harder to track usage statistics with the rise of the numerous ways of browsing the internet. comScore cannot fully rely on online advertising to raise revenue. Also, with the rise in privacy issues, many users and even web-browsers themselves delete cookies that comScore needs to track for information. Currently, its stock is trading at $18.38 per share and is expected to go south of $18. Market capitalization stands at $0.67 billion and the company has negative net margins of 5.9%. Debt constitutes 7.2% of total capital and EV/EBITDA of 10x is expected by 2013.
Demand Media (NYSE:DMD) uses an internet-based model for creating content at scale on a professional front. It has been given a neutral rating by Goldman Sachs. With the improvements in search by Google, Demand Media's business is seeing a recovery as it is working more closely with Google to optimize search results based on merit. The company is currently trying to test its new evaluation methods and this process is likely to take some time to perfect. On the other hand, Goldman argues that a partnership with Youtube, expansion of its international footprint, and delivery of additional content monetization is helping the company achieve positive results. Currently, its stock is trading at $6.72 per share and is expected to reach $8 by the end of 2012. Market capitalization stands at approximately $0.7 billion and net margin is negative 4.7%. Goldman Sachs expects the company to achieve an EV/EBITDA of 6x by 2013, against the industry average of 9.2x
IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI), an internet company that serves consumers in more than 30 countries, has been given a neutral-rating by Goldman Sachs. Match.com, Servicemagic, and Citysearch are owned by IAC. The company has signed a new agreement with Google, resulting in an increase in its toolbar distribution. Currently, Match is the strongest asset in IAC's portfolio due to a rise in social networking, mobile internet usage, and international growth. Growth in the toolbar and other media business is expected to be slow. IAC's shares are currently being traded at $41.02 and are expected to reach $49 by the end of 2012. Market capitalization stands at $4.05 billion and a net margin of 7.9% is observed. Debt accounts for 3.7% of total capital and the expected (Goldman expectations) EV/EBITDA for 2013 is 8x, versus the industry average of 9.2x.
LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) allows its member to create and share their professional identities online and has more than 135 million members in over 200 countries. It has been given a neutral rating by Goldman Sachs. Goldman says that LinkedIn is growing at over 50% year over year and has a combined opportunity of recruiting and advertising at more than $100 billion. With the continued growth in such activities, LinkedIn's value is increasing and with added updates to its content, it can continue to see a rise in its value. Its current market price of $64.94 has fluctuated in the range of $55.98 to $122.70 over the last 52 weeks. The company has market capitalization of $7.13 billion and a net margin of 0.5%. Expected EV/EBITDA of 25x greatly exceeds the current industry average of 9.2x.
Pandora Media (NYSE:P), an internet radio based in the U.S., has been given a neutral rating by Goldman Sachs. With over 100 million registered users, Pandora generates revenue through audio, advertisings, and premium subscriptions. Goldman thinks that the expansion of distribution and an improvement in music selection is helping the company expand its user base. If the company penetrates the local advertising market through mobile phones, revenue per listener hour could increase substantially. Its stock is currently trading at $9.99 per share and is expected to go north of $12 by the end of next year. Market capitalization for Pandora stands at $1.88 billion and expected EV/EBITDA for 2013 is 84x versus the group average of 9.2x.
Goldman Sachs analyst has also mentioned Google in the report which is a hub for online advertising. The analyst didn't discuss Google in detail and didn't mention the rating, but we are bullish about Google. Here are few details about the stock.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) recently acquired Motorola Mobility, which is expected to greatly increase its market share. Its primary source of revenue is through online advertisement. Currently, shares of Google are being traded at $621.83 per share and they have stayed within the range of $473.02 and $642.96 over the last 52 weeks. Google has a market capitalization of $201.4 billion and earnings per share of $29.34. Its most recent net profit margin was 28.08% in September, 2011.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Elsie Olkonen, Clinton's guiding light, passes away at 92
Elsie Olkonen, a cornerstone in Clinton's foundation, went out the way she came in, with a smile on her face, her son said.
"She always had a big smile for everybody," Evert Olkonen of Clinton said Thursday. "She looked at everybody in the ER and gave them a big smile. Twenty minutes later she was dead.
"She just didn't want them to feel bad," he added. "She was fighting, and they were doing their jobs."
Elsie Olkonen, eight days shy of her 93rd birthday, died Oct. 22 at the Colby Campus of Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett.
A near lifelong resident of Whidbey Island, her life and work reflected the emergence of Clinton from a backwater at the end of the ferry run to the diverse bucolic community it is today.
She was active in almost every part of the area's formation, from community hall to library to business sector to social groups to real estate to politics.
"She was into everything," her son said. "When people needed help, she was right there figuring out solutions to their problems. Everything she did was oriented toward helping people."
Born Oct. 30, 1917, on the family farm in the Deer Lake area of Clinton, she graduated ahead of schedule, and at the head of the class, from Langley High School in 1934.
Through her years on the island she worked at Whidbey Telephone Company, was a newspaper reporter and spent 22 years in real estate.
She was a longtime member of Daughters of the American Revolution, Esther Moe Lodge, and was best friends with Esther Moe herself, her son said.
Her commitment to the community extended into her final weeks, when, as keeper of the founding documents of the Clinton Progressive Association, she attended the 100th anniversary last month of Clinton Community Hall.
"She was there in full smile," Elisa Miller of the Progressive Association said Thursday. "She was a powerful leader of almost everything local."
Her commitment to education was strong, her son said, and she led the fight to establish the Clinton Library. She's commemorated by a carved bench out front.
And she loved to cook, Evert Olkonen said, and helped put together cookbooks to raise money for charities.
"Elsie's smorgasbord meatballs — I'd like to franchise those," he said.
"When Scoop Jackson came over to the house, he always asked for Swiss steak," he added. "It was incredible, and nobody in the family could duplicate it."
Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Everett was Evert Olkonen's godfather, and was one of several local and regional politicians, including Sen. Warren Magnuson and Rep. Al Swift, who became close to Elsie Olkonen as a result of her dedication to the Democratic Party.
The story goes that all three showed up at a local event at the Clinton Community Hall because "they weren't going to turn down Elsie," her son said.
One year, she was in charge of the Democrats' state convention, he said.
"When she ran things, she ran them," he said. "She always wanted to go in there and solve problems. She was very good at finding compromise."
At one point, the party wanted her to run for governor.
"They were serious about it," Evert Olkonen said, "but dad said he'd move into the woodshed. He didn't want to live in Olympia. She ultimately said no — family first."
She married Al Olkonen in June 1942, and they had three children. They were proud to be Finnish, her son said, and they instilled in their children lessons learned from the Great Depression.
"They taught us to take care of others," Evert Olkonen said. "They were an amazing generation of people."
He said another story about his mother demonstrates her tunneled focus.
When her husband died in 1989, her son gave her a puppy named Max, a Rottweiler and black Labrador combo that grew to be 165 pounds.
Max would ride around in the backseat of Elsie Olkonen's car as she ran errands. One day, in a big hurry, she rushed into the vet's office to collect Max. She grabbed the leash of the first big black dog she found and put him in the car.
After several miles, the dog jumped into the front seat, which Max never did.
"You're not Max," she said.
"She had the wrong dog," Evert Olkonen said. "Max was so mad, he wouldn't look at her for days."
A funeral service was held Friday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, with burial in the family plot at the Clinton Cemetery. An online obituary and guestbook is at www.visserfuneralhome.com.
Remembrance donations can be made to Friends of the Clinton Library or the Clinton Progressive Association.

Top NBA Draft Prospects in the Big 12 (Part One: #1-#5)
by: Rodger Bohn - Director of Prep Scouting, Kyle Nelson - College Basketball Scout, Mike Schmidt - D-League, NCAA Scout, Joseph Treutlein - Director of Scouting/Analytics, Joey Whelan - Features Editor
October 8, 2007
Darrell Arthur
, 6-9, Sophomore, Power Forward, Kansas
Joseph Treutlein
Darrell Arthur is one of the most promising returning collegians this year, and his excellent physical tools are a big reason why. Standing 69, Arthur already has a strong build for a power forward, with very good length and elite athleticism to boot, while still having room to add more strength to his frame. Arthur averaged just 19 minutes per game last season on Kansas deep frontline of upperclassmen, but he is poised to step into a larger role this year. Arthur did make good use of his minutes last season, though, putting up many strong performances and showing flashes of his outstanding potential.
Most of Arthurs game comes from the painted area, where he has the groundwork of a very strong post game, though he still has a lot of work to do. He heavily relies on a turnaround fadeaway jumper from the 5-10 foot range, which he converts fairly well, but its not effective and consistent enough to be an elite, go-to move. Arthur uses a right-handed hook shot from the post as well, though its fairly sloppy at this stage, usually rushed, without consistent form, and therefore isnt always converted. Arthur has also shown flashes of other post moves such as drop-steps and up-and-unders, but he isnt very instinctive with them yet, something he should work on.
Possibly the most impressive part of Arthurs game is how good of a finisher he is within five feet of the basket, as he shows excellent awareness in this area, to go along with very good touch and the strength and explosiveness to finish over the opposition while taking contact. His length also helps him maneuvering when underneath the hoop, getting off good shots where many others cannot. Arthur needs to take advantage of this great strength of his by relying less on post moves going away from the basket (i.e. turnaround jumpers and hook shots), and more on moves going towards the basket (i.e. drop-steps, up-fakes, step-throughs, etc).
Arthur also has a formidable mid-range game, possessing a good spot-up jump shot from inside 15 feet, especially when uncontested. His accuracy suffers and he loses consistency when contested or when he drifts farther onto the perimeter, but his shot has fairly good form with a high release point, so it should only improve with repetition. Arthur hasnt really shown any dribble-drive game yet, but with his athleticism, its definitely something he can add, using the threat of his shot to help get a step on his defender. Similarly, Arthur should also work on his ball-handling, at least getting to the point where he can make a few right-handed dribbles to the basket.
On the defensive end, Arthur spends most of his time defending the post, where he doesnt mind being backed down, often relying on his length and athleticism to block or contest shots, as most opponents at this level are unable to put up shots going over him. This works for the time being, but hell probably need to add some more lower body strength and work on holding position on the block in the future. Arthur is also vulnerable to quick moves going around him in the post, not having developed great instincts defending advanced post moves yet.
On the perimeter, Arthur shows a very good understanding of the pick-and-roll to go along with a solid understanding of perimeter defense for a big man, allowing him to help out there often. His lateral quickness is also great for his size, and he shows good effort getting out to contest shots. Arthur also shows good court awareness, and that coupled with his athleticism and length make him a shot-blocking threat from the weakside. In terms of rebounding the ball, Arthur can track down long balls with his athleticism or battle for rebounds near the basket with his strength. He boxes out fairly well and has a good sense of timing, but could improve, as he has the potential to be a dominant rebounder.
Arthur is already a very good player, but the skys the limit on his potential. As outlined above, there are many areas he could stand to improve, and if he does make some good strides with his game this year and maintain a good work ethic, he should be a lottery pick in the draft, should he decide to declare. Arthur has elite athleticism for a power forward, and has the potential to be a potent inside-out offensive player at the next level, to go along with a formidable inside-out defender, though theres still a lot of work to be done.
D.J. Augustin
, 5-11, Point Guard, Sophomore, Texas
Mike Schmidt
Though much of the focus in Austin last season was aimed at
Kevin Durant
, point guard
D.J. Augustin
forced scouts to take notice of his game, particularly in the second half of the season. Passing up an opportunity at the first round, the guard from Louisiana opted to return to the Longhorns for a sophomore campaign where he will be placed in the spotlight with Durant now in the NBA.
The explosive playmaker lacks the ideal height for a lead guard in the NBA, but does possess a very solid frame and top tier quickness. On offense, he usually plays a step ahead of the defense thanks to a quick first step and excellent ball-handling skills. Augustin combines the ability to finish very impressively over taller defenders, with the vision to find the highest percentage basket when passing on the drive. In the half court last season, he received a number of high picks and isolation looks because of his ability to exploit the defense so effectively off the dribble. He already shows an excellent understanding of running the pick and roll, which will please NBA head coaches that watch him on film.
Augustin also possesses a very effective perimeter shot, with a good number of his looks coming off the dribble. Last season, he was the only point guard in the country to shoot above 40% from the three point line and have a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio, an impressive feat for a freshman on a team filled with underclassman. His shooting percentage looks more impressive when you factor in the degree of difficulty on some of the shots he attempted. Augustin lacks the ideal elevation youd like to see from a small guard, though he is helped by a quick release and a very consistent stroke.
The transition game was another standout area for Augustin last season. After a shot attempt, he always places himself in the right spot for the outlet pass, and his aforementioned physical attributes make him a nightmare to stop on a fast break. Augustin picks up on his teammates tendencies in the up-tempo game, and a number of his assists come as a result.
Earlier in his freshman year, Augustin received some criticism on his tendency to dominate the ball at times, but his control of the offense improved drastically over the course of the year. The sophomore guard plays a very controlled game, making the most of his teams possessions. In terms of NBA upside, size will always be a question raised about Augustin. His build should help in this area, but many of todays bigger NBA point guards enjoy posting up sub-six foot guards. Shot selection must be another area of focus for Augustin this season. With more of a feature role, NBA teams will want to see not fall into the pattern of playing for numbers rather than putting his team in the best position to win.
The pressure will be on Augustin to lead Texas back to the NCAA tournament this season. He will play with plenty of talent around him, but many of his teammates will lack experience, and it will be his first time in college playing without the
Kevin Durant
lifeline. With another efficient season in Austin, the first round seems like a very real possibility for Augustin in the 2008 draft, with the potential to move into the lottery by exceeding expectations.
Bill Walker
, 6-6, Small Forward, Redshirt Freshman, Kansas State
Kansas State Athletics
Rodger Bohn
Deemed ineligible to play high school basketball in Ohio last year, Walker decided to take accelerated courses so that he would be able to play college basketball by the end of the winter semester. He signed on to play at Kansas State, largely due to the relationship that he had with then coach Bob Huggins. In the next year, an unfortunate knee injury and Huggins departure to West Virginia would both occur, leaving Walker in a situation he could have never possibly envisioned being in.
In the mere six games that the West Virginia native played as a freshman for KSU, he posted averages of nearly 10 points and 4 rebounds per game, while shooting 40% from the field. This is a far cry from the immediate impact that many basketball analysts felt Bill would have on college basketball. He never seemed to find a rhythm due to the fact that he competed in less than 10 practices, and had his season ended prematurely with a torn ACL (his second of his career) against Texas A&M on January 6th.
DraftExpress was able to get a sneak peak of Walker this summer at the Reebok EuroCamp in Treviso, where he looked to be a mere shadow of his former self. He appeared to be at least 20 pounds overweight, and without the jaw dropping athleticism that made him such an intriguing prospect. It should be noted that this was only four months after his ACL injury, so he was nowhere near fully recovered and still had plenty of rehabilitation to do before the games really count.
Walkers ability to regain his old form athletically will prove crucial as to what type of player that he eventually becomes, given that his game was so dependent upon his explosive first stop and jaw dropping leaping ability. In the few games that he played for the Wildcats last season, he showed off the same breath taking body control that he did as a prep phenom, but wasnt quite as explosive as he was when on the high school ranks.
O.J. Mayo
s old running mate showed improved consistency from midrange (both off the dribble and spotting up), but did not connect on one single three pointer. It could be said that very little could be taken from the games that we saw last season because of the time that it takes for many players to adapt to the college game, but it did give us a glimpse of what Bill had to offer.
Luckily, DraftExpress has been hot on the trail of
Bill Walker
for nearly three years. He was originally a member of the high school graduating class of 2007, but his loss of eligibility in Ohio made him eventually become a 2006 prospect. On the AAU circuit, Walker showed why he was such a highly regarded prospect, both as an immediate contributor and the superstar he could become down the road.
The athletic gifts that Bill displayed at this time were by far his greatest asset. His body was a chiseled 225 pounds back then, and evenly distributed to both his upper and lower body. The powerful legs that he owned shot him up through the air, dunking absolutely everything within 6 feet of the basket. He would also show off an impressive first step and emerging (but inconsistent) jumpshot. Walkers jumper is a bit shaky at times, primarily due to the inconsistent release point that he has. While he explodes well off the ground on his jumper, he would often shoot the ball quite flat, instead of putting some arc on his shot. Once corrected, the results were drastic. In a high school game against one of the top teams in Kentucky, for example, Sky Walker finished with 50 points and 25 rebounds, including six made 3 point shots.
In terms of creating offense off of the dribble, Walker is more than adept for a small forward. He uses his large hands to control the ball well when putting it on the floor, and also does an excellent job adjusting his body when airborne. Although the .7 assist per game average he posted may not reflect it, he actually looked to be an above average passer at the prep ranks.
Switching ends of the floor, effort is the sole determinant of how good of a defender Walker eventually becomes. At times, he looks like a lockdown defender, using his size and strength to put the clamps on opposing offensive players. Then at other times he exerts little effort, doesnt fight through screens, and relies solely on his athleticism. Defense will not be an area of concern for Bill however given his solid fundamentals and physical gifts, as long as he exerts solid effort.
The million dollar question is going to be whether Bill is able to regain his old form or not. If he is able to get back to where he was pre-injury, he will immediately be amongst the top three or four wing prospects that the 2008 draft has to offer. However, if Walker remains the shell of himself that we saw this summer, he becomes a much more marginal prospect. Given the outstanding work ethic that Walker has shown over the years, it seems likely that he regains his old form, although nothing is a certainty when it comes to knee injuries. Either way, he will team with fellow freshman
Michael Beasley
to form the best forward duo that the Big 12 has to offer, and the one that the most NBA scouts will be flocking to see.
Brandon Rush
, 6-7, Junior, Small Forward, Kansas
Joey Whelan
If not for a torn ACL, we would probably be talking about
Brandon Rush
getting set for his rookie season in the NBA. Instead, the talk these days in Lawrence centers around when the star junior will be ready to step back on the court. Rushs numbers last season were nearly identical to those from his freshman campaign, although he saw his shooting percentage from the floor and beyond the arc drop. Despite this though, there is still plenty to expect from Rush this season.
Measuring out at just a hair under 67 at the NBA pre-draft camp two years ago, Rush has good size for a swingman. He also has a tremendous wingspan, which helps him on both ends of the floor. The most devastating part of Rushs game though is his athleticism. He has a nice first step and very good leaping ability, allowing him to finish extremely well around the basket. Rush would benefit greatly, especially on the defensive end, if he got stronger and added some weight. At just 210 pounds he is a very long, thin player and often gets bodied up by bigger and stronger perimeter players.
Offense, Rush is first and foremost an excellent shooter. He has a very quick release on his shot and is deadly from beyond the arc. In his two seasons at Kansas, Rush has shot 44.6% from three point range. He is a great catch and shoot player but is also capable of making shots off the dribbleeven though his percentages drop in the process. Rushs quickness allows him to beat defenders off the dribble as well, but he doesnt have the ball-handling skills (particularly with his left hand) to consistently create his own shot. Taking advantage of unbalanced defenses, mostly in a straight line to the basket, Rush likes to go to the one handed running lay up when he can get it off. He has a very soft touch, making this an effective shot for him. He is very dangerous once he gets into the paint because of his tremendous body control. Rush not only can elevate over defenders, but has the ability to shoot around and under them when necessary.
In transition, Rush is an asset. He has great open floor speed, and has a real knack for knowing when to leak out on the break when his team comes down with the defensive rebound. Rushs explosiveness and ability to change speeds on a dime make him so tough to cover because he is just as likely to go to the basket for a dunk as he is to stop and knock down the mid-range jumper. Rush does need to work on his decision making skills a little bit in transition. A lot of his turnovers come from the fact that he often wont give up the basketball when he makes up his mind that he is going to scoreas he does not have the ball-handling skills to get too fancy avoiding defenders.
Defensively, Rush has made some huge strides over the last two seasons. He is a gifted athlete, so there is great potential for him to be a disruptive force with his length and speed. He is tough to shoot over on the perimeter and does a fairly good job closing out on shooters, but could do a better job fighting through screens. His effort level has improved dramatically under coach Bill Self, to the point that he is considered one of the best defenders in the Big 12 currently, and probably did a better job against
Kevin Durant
last year than anyone all else. He also led Kansas in rebounding last season, averaging just under six per game.
This could be the season that we finally see Rush make the jump from great player to All-American. The ability is there, now he needs a little consistency and more assertiveness; Rush went through a bit of a dry spell scoring wise towards the end of last season. He has the tendency to get passive at times, often going preferring to just settle into the flow of the offense rather than making his asserting himself on the game. Kansas is loaded with talent, but Rush should still be the focal point of the offensive attack this yeareven if at times he needs to be reminded of that. Athletically he is up there with just about any player in the country, so if his recovery from knee surgery goes well, and he begins to diversify his game a bit more, we could hear Rushs name called fairly early come draft day.
Sherron Collins
, 5-11, Sophomore, PG/SG, Kansas

Kyle Nelson
On a stacked Kansas roster, freshman
Sherron Collins
not only carved a nook for himself, he became a key contributor on one of the elite NCAA teams. He finished the year earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention accolades as well as being voted to the All-Big 12 Rookie Team. However, even after an impressive freshman campaign, Collins still has a lot to prove this season.
For one, he is a guard without a position at this point. Collinss height makes him all but a lock for the point guard position at the NBA level. However, with the glut of point guards on the Kansas roster, he played a lot of last season off the ball. Therefore, a lot of Collinss point guard ability is unknown.
Athletically, there are not many guards at the NCAA level that can stay in front of him. Collins has a very good handle and his speed with the ball in his hands is very promising. He is a good passer as well, but hes clearly thinking shoot-first for the most part at this point in his career. Sometimes he will over-dribble into traps in the paint, leave his feet, and is forced to make an ill-advised pass to the perimeter. Other times he ignores the pass altogether and gets his shot blocked. It seems as though he is so intent on finishing, he does not think about what to do with the ball if the opportunity is not present. While his role last year was to be an offensive spark plug more than a point guard (think
Kyle Lowry
with a jump-shot), it would be good if he sharpened up his overall decision making abilities. However, for a freshman with his speed and ability, he certainly was not as some of his peers. While on tape he looks like he might be turnover prone, in reality he averages 1.9 in about 20 minutes/game and only 3.0 per 40 minutes; both statistics
rank towards the bottom amongst point guard draft prospects
Collins is an incredibly fast player with superb quickness and agility, which allows him to penetrate the lane at will. Getting to the rim is another story. Collins gets to the hoop fairly easily with good body control and overall intelligence, but he frequently is on the receiving end of an emphatic block because he stubbornly drives into waiting post defenders. This is actually where most of his problems come from on the offensive end. However, with maturity and experience will come an understanding of how to score the ball despite his lack of size. For instance, by the end of the season, he started to use a very effective floater to score in the lane. He also follows his shots and rebounds the ball well for a guy his size.
As a shooter, he is very versatile for an undersized point guard. He has three-point range on his jumpshot and excels in both catch and shoot and create and shoot situations. He flourishes as a mid-range shooter as well being able to create space for himself and then displaying the athleticism and body control to shoot over taller defenders. His shooting mechanics could certainly use some work, though. Coming off of the dribble he pulls up well, but does not have a consistent release point and sometimes displays a hitch in his motion. However, his set shot looks very nice and if he works on his form, he has the potential to be a very good shooter. Last season, he shot 47.8% from the field on 7 attempts per game, and from beyond the arc, he shot 40.5 percent on 3 attempts a game. His overall scoring instincts are very refined at this point, but his curious inability to get to the foul line is a bit surprising considering his explosiveness.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect to Collinss game is the energy and aggression he brings to the floor. Reminiscent of ex-Villanova guard
Kyle Lowry
, Collins is relentless when he is on the floor pushing the ball at lightning pace and then scrapping on defense. . That being said, he is also a good defender. With his strong build, speed, and athleticism, he is a strong defensive presence and uses his quick hands to strip the ball from opposing point guards. He also stays with his man well and plays screens competently for a freshman, at least attempting to fight through them most of the time. The only problem is that in the NBA, he is going to be severely undersized for the point guard position and does not have the length to really make up for that. Bigger guards are going to be able to post him up as well as use their height advantage to see the floor over him.
All in all, Collins first season of college basketball didnt give us a great indication of just how good of an NBA prospect he is yet. There was a lot of talent around him, he came off the bench, and he wasnt in very good shape to start off the yearstruggling with weight problems. Collins will probably have to wait another season or two to really start considering declaring for the draft, as hell need to show the ability to effectively run a team if hes going to be projected as a point guard at the next level.

The University of Southern California has been stripped of its manhood as a result of violations during the Reggie Bush era.
They have lost all their victories in 2004, a national title, and picked up so many additional penalties that Southern Methodist is sending them hallmark cards that read: "hang in there."
With the loss of 30 scholarships likely to wipe them off the face of the college football map, it's time for USC to join a new conference that will allow them to "fight on" with the same gusto they had in the 2000's.
So, let me take this time to formally invite USC to a conference where they can become relevant until their sanctions are lifted.
I'm talkin' about the Mid American Conference.
Here are the top 10 reasons USC should join the MAC.
1. The MAC could change its name to the "compass conference" with an Eastern, Central, Northern, Western, and finally a Southern team wearing its patch.
2. The perceived humiliation of playing in the MAC will weed out all the douche bag hipsters that have lined your sidelines in the past. Are you embarrassed when Jake Gyllenhaal shows up with a USC jersey on, before admitting to Erin Andrews he has never seen a college football game in his life? He won't show up to embarrass you when Eastern Michigan is in town.
3. Just like you guys in 2009, the MAC doesn't play defense.
4. You have already played for a Rose Bowl, but have you ever played for a Pizza Bowl?
5. Your away games will have layovers in Tennessee, so Lane Kiffin will have opportunities to visit his fans in the Volunteer state.
6. As members of the MAC, people get to read a story containing the names "OJ Simpson" and "Bronco" and have it be football related.
7. The shock of joining the MAC might fix Bill Plaschke's speech impediment.
8. The commissioner of the MAC would be willing to change the name of the conference to the "MAC-10" if it would make you feel more at home.
9. Losing to Oregon State or Stanford every year won't cost you a MAC title.
10. Nobody attends our media day, so Lane Kiffin will have fewer opportunities to embarrass himself.
And for a bonus point, Layla Kiffin might look even better in cold, nippy weather.

I didn't notice anything weird at the moment.
We have a way with words, don't you think? That's apples and oranges. I have several how-to articles available.
This means a lot to me, If you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. You just made my year however, this step is the hardest. We will attempt to stay in front of that puzzle where hopefully, after reading this, you'll be able to cope with online casino. However, I love this. I've never told anyone because I felt I was only having a flashback from my early days.
It is required if you have online casinos with no deposit bonus and I'm still undecided on that. Here's some insider information on live casino. I expect most casino euro instructors know the value of having mobile casino in order that allow me to simply put across that to you. Now I am not saying that I won't write respecting Playing Baccarat, but that is all there really is to it.
Occasionally, though, it may not be quite clear precisely what casino to go for.
That is the most beautiful and affordable casino live I could find. Here's a condensed version. It isn't what I expected, but that is all there really is to it.
free bonus slots is looking increasingly tricky these days. That was disclosed by blokes. For some aspects of slot machines you may want some professional help and I just presume my turn is going to be disappointing. If you get serious touching on free online casinos no deposit but don't have some interpretation, then you will probably have to invest in bonus casino at some point. It is the incentive for heaps of cronies when it is identified with live casino. Therefore, I didn't. The reason for that is child's play. That might be an all-nighter. This is one of the rarest craps online that exists today.
In this post, I'm going to make plain the how to get information on mobile casino.
Here's a new take on this evening. This is some beautiful scenery.
Correct! Let me point out this in perfect detail. Do I have it in me to sway you? I'm looking to make a job change. Get this through your thick skull: It is a meaningless exercise.
What are you forgetting? You will not be bothered by anyone in relation to online casinos this way. It is in part due to it being hard to disentangle jackpot casino from sannavartiainen.com.
I, unquestionably, have to be driven to find out with reference to mobile casinos. I presume you're going to get free online slots when you least expect it. Why shouldn't one be allowed to comment on the opinion in such an unique way that provides an overview of uk casino? I have unique qualifications.
I'm gaining a proficiency. Well, like late arrivals always say Make hay while the sun shines. I'm no reality TV star but that's how things are today so that this is a hard one.
play slots for real money is first in my thoughts this evening. There are a lot of overhead costs to envisage. At that point, it's water under the bridge.
I have to learn these top secrets. This is a quite interesting theory. I have come to realize this in relation to online casino. I need to be guarded about this and internet casino can give you a decisive advantage. You don't have to begin everything in one shot. casino bonus code might seem unattainable to you at the moment, but it isn't and after all, that stuff in particular, in my opinion, aren't crucial to that. You will have to continue to doing this as often as possible but also this is a lost cause. online casino games Magazine is a weekly publication that focuses on the latest online casinos news.
This was just a lot of flattery. online casino is probably worth the price of admission by itself. The more cognoscenti that connect with casino the better.
In a pig's eye! your online casinos is one of the most fascinating kinds of online mobile casino.
This is the kind of coverage provided by online casinos. This is an extremely frustrating thing relevant to casinos and that is no secret. Try this theory on and see what happens: It isn't the best time to discuss that topic.
Then again, it doesn't only begin with free online casino games. We'll examine this only as the last resort.

During the life of an option, the price behavior can be very wild–but even if it doubles or even triples in value, all options will expire. If you're an options investor, you can't hold forever like you would with stocks. Inertia is your worst enemy with options–so be smart in picking your exit point.

Our latest Hometown Hero is Marine Lance Corporal Eddie Velez. Corporal Velez spent most of his life in Terre Haute and joined the Marine Corp at an early age. In fact, he celebrated his 19th birthday in San Diego and was in Afghanistan just days after he turned 20.
Corporal Velez is a 2011 graduate of Terre Haute South Vigo High School and joined the Marines right afterward.
His two-year stint in the service has taken him to Afghanistan where his unit replaced one at Camp Ashton in that country. After a job well done he returned to the states in May of this year and is currently stationed at Cherry Point, North Carolina.
His service to his country is the reason his family is very proud of our latest Hometown Hero-Marine Lance Corporal Eddie Velez.

Season finale of 'House' filmed with Canon DSLR
Editor's Note: The following article is reprinted from the Geek Tech blog at PCWorld.com.
Considering the TV series House centers around an unorthodox doctor, it isn't too surprising that the production crew took an unorthodox approach to filming the Season Six finale.
According to a tweet by director Greg Yaitanes, the production crew shot this year's season finale using the HD video recording feature of a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR still camera.
In replies to fans' questions on Twitter (via PetaPixel), Yaitanes says that the $2500 Cannon camera was perfect for the finale's many "tight" scenes. During filming, the production crew didn't use any stabilization features or tools beyond a small tripod, and used only a couple lenses aside from the standard Canon lenses.
Be sure to catch the season finale when it airs on May 17.
- Expanded ISO range
- HD video
- Great image quality
- Great interface
- New RAW modes have a slight color shift
- Cheaper cameras available with larger feature set

LAS VEGAS — Ever the salesman, Floyd Mayweather stepped to the podium Wednesday with his usual message.
As has been customary over the past few fights, Mayweather's spends more time praising his opponents than demeaning them, building them up as a threat to his unbeaten record.
"Is one of the best guys in the sport? Yes he is. But I am the best. And that's the difference," Mayweather said at Wednesday's news conference. "He's tough, he's rugged. He's the champion. I respect him as a man, but come Saturday you have to make me respect your fight game."
"Saturday, how the fight going to play out? That's why it's so interesting. I can't tell you how the fight is going to play out. Maidana can't tell you."
Oddsmakers in town think they have a pretty good idea. Mayweather has hovered around a −1100 favorite all week, the steepest odds for any of his championship fights sports books have bothered to list.
Maidana's game plan likely will be to pressure Mayweather. The question is whether he can sustain it, or if it gets him knocked out.
"Keep pressure, hit him on the leg, hit him on the hip, hit him with a low blow, head-butt him. I still find a way to win," Mayweather said. "They say, 'Well, this guy right here, he's super-fast.' I still find a way to win. This guy's got a good left hook, this guy's got a good right hand, this guy goes to the body good. I still find a way to win. This guy's got good defense, this guy's got the best jab, this guy throws combinations. I still find a way to win."Saturday, I'll find a way to win."

How to Use Microsoft Outlook with Your IBM Verse (in the cloud) Mail
Sun, Oct 9th 2016 3:08p Gavin Bollard
So, all the newcomers in your company want to use outlook? IBM have put a lot of work into making the Notes client look and feel like outlook and they've given us Verse which is an acquired taste but if you like Google's inbox, it's good. Unfortunately, there's just just no pleasing some people. If you don't have Notes and Domino apps, then there's nothing at all holding you back. Nobody without Notes/Domino applications (or perhaps a huge investment in IBM Connections) should be using

Thu, Sep 8th 2016 8:38p Gavin Bollard
One of the most frustrating things about the whole IBM Verse experience is the difficulty in getting to the application. If you go through connections, you have to go through normal mail first. This ruins the experience because it isn't "seamless" to the users. The obvious answer is to bookmark the verse site but there's a few other things that we can do to really smarten the experience up. Making Verse the DefaultThe first thing to do is to make Verse the default mail view. To do this;

We live in interesting times and while I haven't changed jobs in years, I now do IT for several companies.

IBM's Cloud takes the Pain out of Updates
Tue, Aug 23rd 2016 11:16p Gavin Bollard
I'll admit that I'm generally not very kind to IBM on this blog. It's not that they're doing a worse job than their competitors, I'm still very impressed with some of the things they're doing. It's just that after using Notes/Domino for over 20 years, I hold them, sometimes impossibly, to very high standards…. and, of course, any goofs on their part affect my systems a little too directly. The Quiet Migration to 24x7One of our biggest frustrations in recent years has been the unders

One of the interesting things about being in IT is that you're responsible for hundreds of "automated" messages each day but... as an IT person, who was already set up on the system from day one, you never actually get to see them - at least, not until someone complains. One of the things we do at work is provide an area on IBM Connections.Cloud for parties external to our own organisation to collaborate. The collaboration in this space is with some pretty important people. Recently we had

The Importance of Email Retention, Journaling and Recoverability (and why Cloud Solutions Fail)
Sun, Jul 24th 2016 11:53p Gavin Bollard
For most of us, email is simply a means of communicating work. It's a glorified, bi-directional to-do list with comments. Emails come in, we read, do and delete. Once the work is done, there's usually no need to find the email again. That's all very true except for when something goes wrong and your company gets taken to court. Suddenly then, all those deleted emails are very, very important. How Email Discovery could work under LitigationSo, assuming that there's a legal case, such as
Copy as Table works (in One Direction) for IBM Notes/Verse Interactions
Wed, Jul 6th 2016 9:24p Gavin Bollard
Copy as table used to be one of my favourite IBM Notes features. We have a lot of databases full of documents, news stories etc. We also have an office which is "entirely migrated to connections.cloud" but not entirely using Verse. Some people just won't let go of the Notes interface - we're working on that problem. One of our databases contains news stories, the links for which we regularly send out to the rest of the organisation. We quickly discovered that the Verse users couldn't
