Not only have racial attitudes in America not improved since the nation elected its first black president in 2008, according to a poll conducted by Associated Press, the US has become more racist.
The survey used combined questions which explicitly asked people to define their racial attitudes, with questions designed to explore implicit attitudes about race. In both cases the results revealed that racial prejudice had increased slightly.
51 per cent of Americans express explicitly anti-black attitudes compared with 40 per cent in 2008. The survey also found that Republicans were more likely to be openly racist than Democrats (79 per cent compared to 32 per cent), while implicitly racist attitudes were equally evident in both parties.

When Jenson Button drove down the pit lane on the sixth lap of the Australian Grand Prix and saw that it was still soaking wet, he had the sinking feeling that he had made a major error of judgement. A shower just before the start had obliged everyone to start on Bridgestone's intermediate tyres, and now he was suddenly second guessing his gamble to come in and change to dry weather slicks.
"It was my decision," he reported after scoring his first win for his new McLaren team at only the second attempt. "I think it is a lot easier for the drivers to feel the conditions. The team can see it on TV with the clouds coming in, but we can feel out on the circuit what is happening." It was the ploy that would win him one of the most gripping races in years, which gave the lie to the suggestion that Formula One is boring after a dull season opener in Bahrain a fortnight earlier.
"I was really struggling and I lost a couple of places," he continued, "so I thought, 'Let's get in, stick the slicks on'. There was a dry line. A few places were a little bit wet. But when I went into the pit lane I thought I had made a catastrophic decision. Once I got it going and up to speed I had a little off at Turn Three, and again I thought I had made a huge mistake, but then the pace was pretty good and I was able to put in some good laps and overtake three or four cars after they stopped and put their slick tyres on.
"I had already found out where the grip was, whereas they were still searching for it, so I was able to pass them quite easily. So, ultimately, it was the right call and I am very happy that I made it."
Button's race had already got off to a dramatic start when he pushed points leader Fernando Alonso into a spin when the Spaniard pinched him going into the first corner. As the Ferrari spun, it made contact with Michael Schumacher's Mercedes, and Button's team-mate Lewis Hamilton was also delayed.
"I'm sorry Fernando got turned around," Button said, "but I got delayed too. The thing is, you can't suddenly brake in that situation because it would be dangerous, because of all the cars behind you."
When things had settled down after a spate of mass tyre stops on the eighth lap, Sebastian Vettel appeared to have another race wrapped up for Red Bull, with Button second and Robert Kubica third from Nico Rosberg. Hamilton, meanwhile, was fighting in seventh place as he pounded after Felipe Massa and Vettel's team-mate, Mark Webber. The race became Button's when Vettel suddenly speared into a gravel trap on the 20th lap, losing a race for the second time in a fortnight.
"I felt that something went wrong one lap earlier than I went off," Vettel said. "I had some sparks coming up from the front left wheel. A couple of corners before I went off I had huge vibrations building up and as soon as I touched the brakes I had some sort of failure." Red Bull suspected the wheel attachment mechanism.
While Button consolidated his lead, Kubica came under heavy fire after Hamilton had clawed his way to third place with a series of great passing moves, but a second tyre stop on lap 34 destroyed the Englishman's chances of victory.
Like Button, Kubica, the Ferrari drivers Massa and Alonso nursed a single set of slick tyres each, leaving Hamilton to recover from his stop hounded by Webber, who had dropped back after some mistakes. In the closing stages the six of them fought over second place, until Webber ran into the back of Hamilton as the McLaren driver had to back off when a passing move of his own was frustrated by Alonso. Hamilton and Webber recovered and went on to sixth- and ninth-place finishes, and neither Massa or Alonso were in any state to challenge Kubica as their tyres were finished.
"It was disappointing to be taken out by Mark, but I hear he apologised for it so I appreciate that," Hamilton said. "I drove my heart out today."

Chelsea are refusing to give up the fight for Pep Guardiola to become their next manager.
Jose Mourinho was sacked last month but Standard Sport revealed in October, when the Portuguese was first under pressure, that Roman Abramovich wants Guardiola or Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone to take over in the summer.
Guardiola has always been the Russian owner's first choice, having failed to lure him to Stamford Bridge in 2013.
The 44-year-old Bayern Munich manager confirmed yesterday that he will move this summer to take a job in the Premier League, where he has received "several offers".
Player Ratings: Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Player Ratings: Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
1/23 Wayne Hennessey: 4
Started the game off well, but will be disappointed to have played into Costa's hands in the build-up to the opener - being sucked into the striker's play down the flank which allowed Oscar to tap into the goal - and then failing to catch Willian's cross which left Costa free to score Chelsea's third.
2/23 Joel Ward: 4
Should have followed the run of Oscar ahead of Chelsea's first, but decided to run towards goal rather than mark the Brazilian, which allowed him to score. Later failed to prevent Costa from netting Chelsea's third. Not the best of showings from the defender.
2015 Getty Images
3/23 Scott Dann: 5
His sliding challenge couldn't prevent Costa from setting up Oscar for the opener and, in general, the defender didn't do enough alongside Delaney to contain Chelsea's attacking players.
2015 Getty Images
4/23 Damien Delaney: 5
Started ahead of Brede Hangeland in central defence, but was outpaced by Costa ahead of the opener. Will feel he should have stayed on his feet rather than go to ground to try and stop the Chelsea striker.
2015 Getty Images
5/23 Pape Souare: 4
Prevented Willian from being a threat in the first half, but began to lose the battle with the Brazilian in the second half, which resulted in Willian scoring and creating a goal.
2015 Getty Images
6/23 Chung-yong Lee: 5
Replaced the suspended Cabaye and made his first league start since May, but failed to have an impact for Palace going forwards and indeed in defensive terms too.
7/23 Mile Jedinak: 5
Struggled to stop Fabregas and Mikel from controlling proceedings in midfield, which allowed the former in particular to play a big part in Chelsea's attacking play. Received a booking for his foul on Oscar in the second half and was then hauled off for Ledley.
Joe Ledley:5
Replaced Jedinak in the second period but, with Palace already losing 3-0, couldn't do much else than tighten up play in the middle of the park.
2015 Getty Images
8/23 James McCarthur: 5
Like Jedinak, the midfielder could not keep a lid on Chelsea's creative players in the middle of the park and ended up being outpaced by Willian which ended in Costa scoring.
9/23 Jason Puncheon: 6
Caused havoc on the right flank in the first half, sending in several crosses which should have been converted by the likes of Campbell, but saw his impact wane in the second period.
10/23 Wilfried Zaha: 6
His pace and work rate handed Azpilicueta problems down the right flank, but he saw none of his chances converted. Failed to stop Oscar from running free and setting up Willian for Chelsea's second goal but he remained one of Palace's best threats up front.
2015 Getty Images
11/23 Frazier Campbell: 6
Started ahead of Marouane Chamakh who disappointed last week against Swansea, and he used his pace to hand Azpilicueta, Terry and Zouma problems. However, he should have converted his several early chances for the home side.
Marouane Chamakh:5
Came on for Campbell in the second half but, aside from creating one chance, didn't have an impact.
12/23 Thibaut Courtois: 7
After appearing slightly nervous against Manchester United, the goalkeeper looked confident and solid against Palace although he was never really tested by the home side's forwards.
13/23 Branislav Ivanovic: 5
Struggled to stop Puncheon from getting crosses into the box several times and was probably Chelsea's weakest link at the back. But he remained undeterred and grew as the game progressed.
2015 Getty Images
14/23 Kurt Zouma: 7
Another superb performance from the defender exemplified by when he timed a tackle on Zaha in the box to perfection to clear the danger. Should have scored in the second half, but headed Willian's free kick high.
2015 Getty Images
15/23 John Terry: 6
Was caught out a few times, but it never led to a goal. His solid showings alongside Zouma will surely worry Cahill.
16/23 Cesar Azpilicueta: 7
Zaha's pace handed him a few problems, but the Spaniard remained stalwart in defence while coming close to scoring but saw his effort denied by Hennessey.
17/23 John Obi Mikel: 7
Started the move that led to Oscar's goal after winning back possession in midfield and, in general, enjoyed a superb showing in front of the defence, working hard to win the ball and combining well with Fabregas to help with Chelsea's attacking play.
2016 Getty Images
18/23 Cesc Fabregas: 6
Returned to the starting line-up in place of Matic following illness and looked like a rejuvenated player. He combined well with Mikel all afternoon and delivered the pass that ended in Oscar scoring the opener.
19/23 Willian: 8
Endured a relatively quiet first half, but sprung into life in the second half when he fired in Chelsea's second goal in superb fashion before setting up Costa for his goal. Continues to make the difference for the Blues when it matters.
2015 Getty Images
20/23 Oscar: 8
Aside from a few moments when he gave the ball away, the Brazilian was at his creative best. He set up Willian for his goal and also got on the scoresheet with the opener in the first half.
21/23 Eden Hazard: 5
Started in his preferred position on the left flank, and enjoyed a positive 17 minutes before being forced off with an injury - with his best moment coming when he cut inside and fired a shot just wide.
22/23 Diego Costa: 8
Returned from serving a one-match suspension in impressive fashion. After unselfishly setting up Oscar for the opener, the striker then played a part in Willian's goal and later scored himself. Did well to avoid getting into tussles with Palace defenders, appearing to be concentrating solely on his game - which paid off.
23/23 Pedro: 6
Replaced Hazard 17 minutes into the game and injected pace into Chelsea's attacking play.
2016 Getty Images
Manchester City remain the favourites to secure his signature due to the presence at Etihad Stadium of former Barcelona executives Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano, who are the director of football and chief executive officer respectively.
Chelsea have told Guardiola they are prepared to hand him a bigger contract than anything City offer, as well as a huge budget to improve the squad.
Significantly, Guardiola, who has won 19 trophies in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, has yet to confirm if he has come to an agreement with City even though they privately believe they have won the race.
Chelsea will continue to pursue Guardiola until the bitter end and he finally puts pen to paper on a contract. Speaking about his future yesterday, Guardiola said: "I want to experience a new city and I want to work in England. I have several offers from England but I haven't signed anything yet.
"I have an opportunity to work in England. I'm at the right age and it is the right move for me. That is the reason I have taken this decision."
Chelsea's bid to lure Guardiola could be boosted by the preference of his wife, Cristina Serra, for a move to the capital when he leaves Bayern.
Mourinho paid the price after Chelsea suffered their worst start to a Premier League campaign and Guus Hiddink has taken the job for the rest of the season.
The club see Guardiola as the man to revive them but will continue to woo Simeone in the meantime, while Italy coach Antonio Conte and Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri are part of the back-up list.

@eaglembLocale: AZ, the Great Southwest!
Does anyone know if or when the water at 1.5 and 3 mile Rest Houses is on or when it will be on? I see 2 different dates, one is "May", the other is "Varies".
@pwszolekLocale: Desert Southwest, USA
We hiked out on Sunday and the water was still off at both the 3 mile and 1.5 mile rest houses. There were still pockets of snow all the way down to the 1.5 mile rest house. The trail still had sections that were icy, but it wasn't like you needed instep crampons or anything.
@mrschurrLocale: SW US
You need to call and ask. May is usually correct but they have frequent repair issues.
@eaglembLocale: AZ, the Great Southwest!
FYI, we went last weekend, and the water was on at both sites.

In the early 80's my dad was walking our dog in the park when he came across an eagle. Turned out it had been stolen from Colwyn Bay Zoo. He captured it with the dog's lead, ended up in the national press and got £100 reward. My dad died last year but he will ever be remembered in print as the eagle catcher.

ANTHEA Turner has said that she's got the most "amazing bum"
of her life thanks to her tough Dancing on Ice training regime.
Anthea who is skating for the first time on this Sunday's show, told ITV1's
Lorraine: "The toning of the body from ice skating skater
bum is amazing.
"I don't care even if I crash out on Sunday, I have had three months of
the best bum I've ever had since I was somewhere in my 20s.
"In fact, even in my 20s it probably wasn't this good."
The 52-year-old also revealed that suffering from dyslexia has affected her
She explained that she struggles to remember her left from her right, which
can cause issues in training.
She explained: "I think my biggest problem has been, and we've spoken about
it, I am dyslexic and dyslexic's never know their right from their left.
"And I've had terrible trouble and the coaches are going bonkers at me
going, 'Do you know your right from your left?'. 'I do, just give me a
moment on this and I'll get it'."
But the former Blue Peter host said that she is overjoyed being part in the
ITV skating show.
She said: "Learning to skate has been fabulous. I've got bruises everywhere
but learning to skate – amazing."
"I've never done anything so nerve-racking in all my life, absolutely not.
It's that feeling of falling, you're out of your comfort zone, you're
balancing on bread knives strapped to your feet in a freezer, it's not
"And you want to do well and spend months trying to skate, and then it's
all down to – looked at what happened to Pam – she slipped, she stumbled."
Married star Anthea parted ways with husband Grant Bovey in July last year
amid claims that he had been unfaithful.
It was alleged that Grant cheered on her with tycoon's daughter Zoe de Mallet
Morgan, 24.
However the couple reunited and made their first public appearance together
since the split last October.
She is stepmother to Bovey's three daughters Lily, Amelia and Claudia, from
his previous marriage.

"Doing Star Wars now—that's surreal. I feel like that even with this cast. You start by try[ing] to stamp [that feeling] down as much as possible, just focus on what it is that you are there to do… Easier said than done."
"The thing about Star Wars that's so good—sure there's this huge [canvas]. It's space, it's a long time ago in a galaxy far away. That's set up immediately. But in the midst of all those things, what has made those movies last so long is that they're all grounded, which is something that is not so far off from every movie with huge universal themes of siblings and parents and betrayal and trust. That's so generic and obvious, but it's hard to balance those things.
When you break all of those things down, really it's just because someone wasn't loved enough or felt betrayed. That's what makes those movies so universal. I think they can get in your mind in big and sweeping ways."
"I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting, and it's just such a quiet moment. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space."
"How great is that to get to work on something that has so much humanity in the midst of it? I feel like that's everyone's goal, to balance those two. Again, surreal seems to be the word of this interview. It's exciting to get that to be part of your life. Now you have to contribute something to it—and that's not something you, personally, or anyone on set takes lightly. I feel like everybody wants to make it good.
Friendship, I feel, is something that maybe isn't investigated as much—or maybe I'm not watching those movies. It was such a huge part of the original three. "I'm going to go save my friend." Everyone was going to go bail their friends out. "I can't do this because my friends, everything is at stake because of my friends. I gotta go back. … Yoda, I gotta leave, whatever… I gotta leave. [Laughs]"
"I haven't seen him. I don't know."

Expected utility from additive utility on semigroups

In the present paper we study the framework of additive utility theory, obtaining new results derived from a concurrence of algebraic and topological techniques. Such techniques lean on the concept of a connected topological totally ordered semigroup. We achieve a general result concerning the existence of continuous and additive utility functions on completely preordered sets endowed with a binary operation ``+'', not necessarily being commutative or associative. In the final part of the paper we get some applications to expected utility theory, and a representation theorem for a class of complete preorders on a quite general family of real mixture spaces.

|Mike Petraglia, Josue Pavon talk Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Warriors routing Celtics
|11.18.16 at 11:45 pm ET
The Celtics have a bad drought that costs them big time against Kevin Durant and the Warriors Friday night at TD Garden. WEEI's Mike Petraglia and Josue Pavon have your recap of a 104-88 Warriors win over the Celtics.
WEEI is how you listen to Celtics coverage. JBL cutting-edge wireless headphones and speakers are how you feel like you're there. As the official Sound of the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas and the NBA, JBL is Made for the Biggest Stage.
|Steve Kerr would be surprised to hear much 'venom' against Kevin Durant from Celtics fans
|at 7:51 pm ET
To Warriors coach Steve Kerr, the decision by Kevin Durant was all business over the summer.
Specifically, two years and $54.3 million worth of business is what Durant signed for in Golden State, turning down the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas and Tom Brady in The Hamptons.
The Warriors head coach said before Friday night's game that while he understands the disappointment of many Celtics fans that their team was able to pair Durant and Horford with Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley for a run at a title, they should also not take his decision personally.
That won't be the case as Celtics fans turned out early and began booing Kevin Durant when he took the floor for warmups 15 minutes before tipoff.
"My guess is it's all in good fun, right? You come to a game, you're Celtics fan, you know that you were close and didn't get him. So, what do you do? You boo him," Kerr said with a smile.
"But I think most of that stuff is tongue-in-cheek. People come to the game to be entertained and let their emotions out. I don't think there will be heartfelt boos. I would be shocked. Maybe it's different in Oklahoma City.
"He did what he did, made a decision for himself and he lives with whatever comes his way. It would be pretty surprising to hear much venom tonight. He almost came here but he came to Golden State. We're cheering."
WEEI is how you listen to Celtics coverage. JBL cutting-edge wireless headphones and speakers are how you feel like you're there. As the official Sound of the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas and the NBA, JBL is Made for the Biggest Stage.
The Celtics could be very close to getting two-thirds of their starting front court back.
Al Horford, who missed his ninth straight game Friday night with a concussion, will travel with the Celtics on their three-game road trip, which begins Saturday night in Detroit.
Also on the trip will be Jae Crowder, missing his eighth straight game Friday night with a sprained left ankle.
"Al had, by far, his best day [Thursday]," Brad Stevens said before Friday's game with the Warriors. "He did on some 3-on-3, some 1-on-1, went up and down [the court]. Felt pretty good. Hopefully, barring no setbacks, we're closer than further with him."
With Horford and Crowder out against the front court of Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Zaza Pachulia, the Celtics are in the position of possibly having to put 6-foot-4 Marcus Smart in a mismatch.
"We'll mix up matchups all over the place. I think some [switching]," Stevens said. "Obviously, the biggest thing is you can't get caught up in is you've got to have a body, you've got to be on them. You have to be able to contest their shots. They're going to hit some shots other people don't hit. You've got to be able to go down and score. That's what you have to do when you're playing a team like this."

|Isaiah Thomas continues to bail Celtics out as rest of team does some soul-searching
|11.17.16 at 9:28 am ET
Crisis averted.
Entering the fourth quarter, Isaiah Thomas was having a rough night, finagling just eight points to that point, going 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-3 from the foul line.
What was worse, however, was the inability for multiple players to step up. Avery Bradley did, making his presence known with an 18 point, 13 rebound double-double. But otherwise, there was not much for the Celtics to hang their hat on.
"I was afraid that we were going to have to really gut this one out," coach Brad Stevens said. "We definitely stagnated quite a bit."
Thomas ultimately went off in the final frame, dropping 22 points while going 4-for-5 from the field and 12-for-13 from the foul line
Kelly Olynyk was the only other player in double figures, netting 10 points. Otherwise, offensive production was subpar. Marcus Smart was 1-for-6 from the field, off the bench Gerald Green was 1-for-4 with, while most other while most everyone else off the bench was 2-for-3 or 2-for-4.
It has all been part of the process of learning to play without Al Horford and Jae Crowder, two player who conceivably will help pick up the slack when Thomas isn't playing well once they return healthy. But as the team figures out how to step up in the meantime, Thomas indicated he's going to keep rising to the pressure.
"I guess I just like that quarter. Sometimes guys get a little tired and the pressure gets a little tougher for them, I guess I just like the pressure," Thomas said.
And while the numbers may indicate it was something of a one-man show, Thomas will be the first to say it wasn't. He found vast success off the screen, and his teammates were integral in clearing the lane for the 5-foot-9 guard. This was especially true once Mavs big man Andrew Bogut fouled out.

|Isaiah Thomas plans to support push for Kevin Durant by pushing his shoes
|06.25.16 at 6:13 pm ET
Isaiah Thomas is not taking no for an answer.
The Celtics dynamic and personable point guard took to Twitter Saturday to continue his marketing effort to sell Kevin Durant on why he should come to Boston.
In a tweet, Thomas indicated he was ready to go out and get a new pair of shoes, "I need me a pair of those new @KDTrey5. They look comfortable lol"
The Nike "KD 9" basketball shoes go for roughly $150. The new shoe was released by Nike on June 20.
This, of course, is not the first time Thomas has taken to social media to woo the would-be free agent. Just an hour after the Warriors eliminated Durant and the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western finals on May 30, Thomas tweeted a picture of a Shamrock with the number '35' next to it.
Durant would not be able to wear that number with the Celtics, as it has been retired to honor the late Reggie Lewis. Thomas, perhaps realizing this, removed the tweet later that night.
Thomas had no need to remove Saturday tweet, as it is just the latest effort in a growing move to recruit Durant to Boston. The superstar has agreed, through his agency Roc Nation Sports, to meet with the Celtics and five other teams (Golden State, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, L.A. Clippers and Miami) before choosing his final destination.
A week after his Shamrock tweet, Thomas said he would be "all-in" in an effort to bring his friend to Boston.
Thomas is hardly alone among Boston athletes who would love to see Durant in Celtic green. Hartford native and lifelong Celtics fan Terrance Knighton took time after a Patriots practice in mini-camp to express a desire to reach out to Durant.
I need me a pair of those new @KDTrey5 they look comfortable lol

|Draymond Green assessed Flagrant 1 from Game 4, suspended for Game 5 Monday
|06.12.16 at 2:24 pm ET
This time, Draymond Green went too far.
The Golden State bad-boy forward was assessed a Flagrant Foul 1 on Sunday for his entanglement and swipe to the groin of LeBron James with under three minutes left in Game 4 Friday night in Cleveland. The announcement was made Sunday by Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
"The incident occurred when Green made unnecessary contact with a retaliatory swipe of his hand to the groin of Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James with 2:48 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors' 108-97 win in Game 4 of The Finals at Quicken Loans Arena," the league said in its press release.
"In accordance with NBA rules, Green will serve a one-game suspension without pay for accruing his fourth Flagrant Foul point of the 2016 postseason. He will serve his suspension Monday, June 13 during Game 5 of The Finals at Oracle Arena."
The video clearly shows Green setting a high screen on James. When Green fell to the ground, James appeared to deliberately straddle Green's head in an effort to draw the confrontation. By the decision handed out from the NBA Sunday, it worked.
The Warriors, who took a 3 games to 1 lead with a win Friday night in Cleveland, have a chance to clinch their second straight NBA title Monday night. But now they will have to do so without their best rebounder and best low-post defender.
Green, after run-ins with the likes of Oklahoma City's Steven Adams in Game 3 of the Western finals, has built up negative points with the league during the Warriors' playoff run, and it culminated with discipline on Sunday.
Under league rules, any player who accumulates four flagrant foul points over the course of the playoffs will be automatically suspended for one game, and every additional flagrant foul will result in either a one-game suspension (for a Flagrant Foul 1) or a two-game suspension (for a Flagrant Foul 2).
"The cumulative points system is designed to deter flagrant fouls in our game" said VanDeWeghe in the league statement. "While Draymond Green's actions in Game 4 do not merit a suspension as a standalone act, the number of flagrant points he has earned triggers a suspension for Game 5."
James was also assessed a technical foul upon league office review for his role in the altercation, which included a physical taunt.
To view the play, click on the following link:
Meanwhile, the league also docked Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue $25,000 for criticism of the officials after Friday's game. Lue went off when asked how LeBron James is being officiated during the series.
"He never gets calls. I mean, he attacks. Outside of Russell Westbrook, he's one of the guys that attacks the paint every single play. And he doesn't get a fair whistle all the time because of his strength and because of his power and guys bounce off of him," Lue said. "But those are still fouls and we weren't able to get them. But we've got to play through officiating."
|Full Court Press: Celtics look for their next big thing; Klay Thompson goes off
|05.29.16 at 4:00 pm ET
Maybe what the Celtics should really be looking for is the next Klay Thompson in the June 23 draft.
For all the talk about who to take with the third pick or if they should trade for Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel, the Celtics could use a long scorer like Thompson, the somewhat overshadowed other half of the Splash Brothers. For anyone who missed Saturday night's epic 41-point effort from Thompson, they missed one of the greatest performances in an elimination game.
Thompson led one of the most dramatic comebacks in the fourth quarter. He made an NBA playoff record 11 3-pointers in 18 attempts and powered the Warriors to a 33-18 fourth quarter that turned an eight-point deficit into a stunning 108-101 Warriors win in Game 6 that sent the Western finals back to Oakland for Game 7 Monday night.
Thompson was the 11th overall pick of the Warriors in the 2011 draft, behind Brandon Knight (8th), Kemba Walker (9th) and Jimmer Fredette (10th). Thompson has been playoff MVP of the Warriors quest to finish off their historic season. He's been averaging 26.5 points in the postseason, including 31.0 points in the five-game win over Portland, a series they were without the injured Steph Curry for the first three games.
There are a number of shooters like Thompson in the draft, including Jamaal Murray, who would be available at No. 3, and possibly No. 16. NBADraft.net has the Celtics taking Buddy Hield, the shooting guard and Wooden Player of the Year in college basketball. Hield doesn't have the height of Thompson, who is 6-foot-7, but he is considered one of the most mature players ready to contribute right away in the pros.
NBADraft.net also has the Celtics taking Cheick Diallo, the big man out of Kansas. Those mocks, of course, don't take into consideration potential trades.
Trippin: Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge left for Israel Friday to watch Dragan Bender, the highly-touted prospect and potential No. 3 draft pick play, along with another European star in Ante Zizic.
The Celtics have three first-round picks at Nos. 3, 16 and 23.

Online betting sites are becoming very popular in today's society. They provide the same thing that you could get elsewhere but from the comforts of your own home. Most betting sites that are available today have a wide variety of different sports that people can bet on and there is something for everyone. You can find sites that offer everything from horse betting to popular sports like football. It all depends on your personal preferences when you are on the search or an online betting site that will be a good fit for you because only you can answer certain questions.
Making Decisions
The first decision that you have to make before looking or an online betting site is what exactly you are looking for. What are you favorite sports? What sports do you like to bet on? What sport might you possibly want to bet on in the future? Once you answer all of these questions it will make your search a lot easier. Most betting sites that you come across will offer a variety of different sports, but there are some sites that are geared towards specific sport like the major sports. Other sites like to keep the focus off of the major sports and offer an array of other sports.
After you have figured out which sports you are looking to bet on you can begin your search for betting sites. It will be overwhelming at first because there are so many different choices that you will come across. To help narrow down the betting sites even more you will need to do a little more research. There are several different review websites out there, whose sole purpose is to review all of the betting sites and put all of the information up for other potential bettors to read. These sites are very helpful because they will let you know everything you need to know about the site before you sign up. The good thing about this is it will also weed out the bad betting sites that don't have very good reputations.
The reputation of an online betting site is everything. If a site has a bad reputation they can kiss their customer base goodbye. Most of the bad betting sites have already been taken care of but there could still be some out there. If you have a bad experience with a betting site make sure that you report it so that other bettors can see it for future reference. There are many different sports betting sites out there that have awesome reputations too. These are definitely the sites you want to look at betting at because they are known to be very trustworthy and safe sites to play on. You will also be able to find which betting sites can be trusted on the review sites that are out there. Having a safe and secure betting site to play at will make your betting experience a much more enjoyable experience knowing that you are in safe hands.
Payment Methods at Betting Sites
There are many payment methods that let bettors easily deposit and withdraw winnings from sport betting sites. The choice depends on the payment method that suits a particular bettor. To make it convenient for bettors, most online sports betting sites accept a wide array of payment methods. They accept credit and debit cards, eWallets and other betting deposit methods such as wire transfer, cheque, Ukash and more.
Depositing using a credit or debit card, which is the most widely used deposit method, is the same as buying something online. Once your account is open and all the required fields are filled up, you can deposit any amount into your account by clicking "confirm." In a matter of seconds, the deposit is reflected in your account without any fees, and you can now start betting. However, Withdrawing winnings using a credit or debit card is a different story. Generally, a withdrawal can take much longer than making deposit. You may have to ask for a check by courier or a wire transfer to withdraw winnings.
eWallet is another very convenient way to deposit and withdraw funds. This account is funded from your existing bank account. One of the advantages of eWallet is not having to enter card numbers and codes in sport betting websites. All you have to do is simply enter your eWallet account number. To make a deposit using eWallet, you open an eWallet account (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller) linking your credit card or bank account or both to it. Then, you make a deposit into your eWallet account. Once your eWallet is funded, you can make a deposit to an online betting site and start making bets. To withdraw winnings, visit the sport betting site's cashier and request a withdrawal to your eWallet. The processing of deposits and withdrawals to and from sports betting sites using eWallet is free.

LoKal Burgers & Beer brings beef & craft beer to the Grove
High-end burgers and craft beers arrive in the Grove this week as LoKal Burgers & Beer opens its doors on Commodore Plaza. Owner and third generation restaurateur Matthew "Kush" Kuscher (Houston's) plans to add his Puerto Rican heritage to the menu, including his version of a frita – a pressed burger with guava jelly, melted gruyere and chopped French fries. All burgers are ground in-house daily from free-range, Kobe-style cattle grass fed in Ocala's White Ranch.
Menu highlights include My Childhood Dream (a 70oz burger, American cheese and crispy bacon served inside a donut), the 50.05 (a patty made from 50% Florida ground beef and 50% Florida ground bacon served with mayo, Monterey jack, tomato and sweet onion marmalade) and the Royale with Cheese (burger with Canadian bacon, BBQ sauce, diced white onions and shredded Monterey jack cheese). Other items include tuna fish sandwich sandwiches, bang bang shrimp tacos, New Mexico chili, Homestead guacamole and the Redlands salad.
Less than a week old, LoKal is already a media darling. Thrillist declares "the K should probably stand for 'kick-ass burgers'" and likens the graffiti-lined space to "where a garage band would record a demo that's much less awesome than the hundreds of cassettes covering the bar."
The New Times votes LoKal one of the five best places to grand a hangover-soaking bite on New Year's Day, singling out the Frita and My Childhood Dream burgers. It also gives the Grove spot some love in its top five food trends of 2011 for its dedication to local craft beer.

Tight SpacesMature
"Hurry up!" The man called back at me. Easy for him to say, he didn't just fall five floors landing directly on a knee. He led me through corridor after corridor, it seemed the further you go underground the bigger this city extends. There was custom dirt tunnels made that linked buildings together, and I was sure after we ran for a while ducking in and out corridors and tunnels that we were no longer anywhere near the Bellagio. I could no longer hear the gunfire; either that or it was being drowned out by the crazy cannibalistic savages running after us.
The waster pulled out a small circular object from his belt (ok I don't like calling him a waster, he was helping me after all, so let's call him Wupo... yeah W-U-P-O = Waster Until Proven Otherwise. I amaze myself sometimes) anyway he threw the small round thingy back to me and I caught it, I really didn't know what he wanted me to do with it. I examined it a little closer whilst trying to remain at a full paced sprint. On the underside was a little rectangle jutting part with a pin in... holy crumpets he threw a grenade at me. I quickly tossed it over my shoulder towards the bad guys.
He momentarily looked back then continued running for a split second before turning back again with a somewhat angered expression, I don't know what he's so angry about. He's not the one who just had a grenade thrown at him.
"Did you pull the pin?" he shouted.
Crumpets! "Umm" I stuttered, how the hell am I supposed to react when people throw grenades at me. To tell the truth I kind of freaked out, but I wasn't going to admit that to Wupo.
"Jesus, I thought you were Alliance Corps" Wupo said on the run, I turned back just in time to see one of the damn wasters pick up the grenade. Wupo jerked me to the left, I missed his turn whilst I was looking back at the waster. We started down a twisting staircase which shot into a custom built tunnel again, surrounded by support beams and dirt walls.
"What kind of marines is the alliance training these days?" Wupo said. Which kind of made me mad. Mad enough to make a snap decision to prove to this stupid Wupo waster that I'm twice the marine he'll ever be.
"For God's sake!" I snapped, reached out and grabbed Wupo's pistol from his belt holster and stopped running. I turned back to the clumsy cannibals' who were falling over each other at the bottom of the stairs and waited for the one with the grenade to emerge. I caught a glimpse of him and immediately fired, the bullet flew through the air destined above the wasters hand, he was peeling it back for a throw, his arm shot forward ready to launch, he brought the grenade straight into line with the bullet... maybe I didn't think this one fully through.
"No" was the last cry I heard from Wupo until the ear splitting explosion from the grenade rocked my eardrums to the core, fortunately I wouldn't have to worry about my eardrums for long, because it seems when you explode a grenade inside a dirt corridor deep underground, there isn't much direction for the impact to blow except in the two directions of the tunnel.
Wupo pulled me into his chest and turned around copping the full force of the explosion, we were propelled up the corridor by the force. The intense heat felt like it instantly blistered my skin, the oxygen was sucked from the corridor and to make things ever-so more pleasant the ground started to shake. Crumpets!
I looked up the corridor there was just smoke and bodies, the roof was crumbling and the support pillars were shattered, I grabbed Wupo's collar and dragged him with all of my might. Scampering along the ground as fast as I could with a not so light Wupo pulling at my every last fibre in my left shoulder, the pain was excruciating but I couldn't leave him here, the whole roof started caving in up the corridor, the wall of earth crumbling to the ground was making its way towards us like an inverted wave of destruction.
My shoulder ached, acid burned in my chest and the pain from the puncture wound was intensifying. I just kept pulling as hard as I could; the wall of earth was getting closer and closer. With no time to look back I gave it my all on one last excruciating tug as the collapsing roof was at Wupo's feet. I was flung three feet down into a concrete room. And if anyone else knows the comforting cushion that is concrete, you would know how my butt felt right about now.
The remaining roof crumbled inside the corridor sealing it shut. I quickly made my way back to Wupo and turned him over to look at his back. He looked in pretty bad condition with dozens of tiny little shards digging into his back, I grabbed my field med pack from my belt and did the best I could to remove the sharp objects in the man's back, I patched them up took my breast plat armour off then removed my shirt balling it up and placing it under his head. I put the breast plate back on over my singlet and looked around the room.
It was a dead end. I can't believe this was Wupo's big plan. Where the hell did he plan on going next? Fight to the death inside a five meter cubed concrete den of horror. This was redunkulous how the hell was I going to get out of here. Oh my shortwave!
"Keegan" I spoke into it with no reply "Tink? Anyone? Hello" crap, this was not good. I walked over to the part of the dirt mound that flooded into the room and plonked into the middle of it, quickly remembering my bruised butt from the drop to the concrete death trap. I sighed sitting in darkness and pulled out my eye-pod.
