NBA history forever intrigues, inspires and pushes Kobe Bryant.
It gave him a sense as a child of how to study the greats before him. As Bryant continuously cements a 17-year legacy that spans five NBA championships, two Finals MVPS and a fifth-place standing on the league's all-time scoring list, the history provides a gauge as to where he stands among the elite. Such perspective also enhances Bryant's foreshadowing on the league's future.
When the Lakers (9-10) play the Oklahoma City Thunder (15-4) tonight at Chesapeake Energy Arena, Bryant will go against speedy UCLA product Russell Westbrook and scoring machine Kevin Durant and see mirror images of himself.
"They just don't give a (hoot)," Bryant said. "That's really it. Not too many players have had that. Michael (Jordan) had it. I had it. Durant has it. Westbrook has it. They just don't care about pressure situations or criticism."
Does Bryant sense those players learned that mentality after seeing him play?
"For sure," he said. "They watched me growing up and saw how I dealt with criticism and all this other stuff. I just put my head down and kept playing ... They're cut from the same cloth."
Bryant seemed reflective following the Lakers' win Wednesday night over the New Orleans Hornets, in which he became the youngest player in NBA history at 34 years and 105 days old to score more than 30,000 points. Currently at 30,016 career points, Bryant joins an esteemed cast of players who have reached that plateau, including three other Lakers. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38.387), Karl Malone (36,928), Jordan (32,292) and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) have scored more points.
As he thought about the players above him on the all-time scoring list, Bryant conceded there's one particular player he studied to hone that winning-at-all-costs mindset.
"Michael was the only one," Bryant said. "I'd constantly look at myself and wonder if this is the right way to be. This is just how I am. Then, the more I got to know Michael and the more he and I talked, the more I started seeing a lot of similarities in that department. I must be on the track."
Bryant has had similar conversations with Durant and Westbrook.
The three played together in the 2011 All-Star Game, in which Bryant collected his fourth MVP trophy. In the 2012 All-Star Game, Durant and Westbrook marveled at how Bryant played through a mild concussion after Miami guard Dwyane Wade delivered an inadvertent elbow. Durant, Westbrook and Bryant teamed together again in the 2012 London Olympics.
After practice Thursday, Durant affectionately described Bryant as an "old fart."
"Since I was about 8 years old, I watched him dominate. Every year he's been in the league, he's been a joy to watch," Durant said. "It's great to have somebody to kind of aim to and look up to and just compete against at a high level."
After the top-seeded Lakers survived a six-game first-round series against the Thunder in the 2010 playoffs, Bryant predicted then that they'd give him problems in the future. Oklahoma City then unseated the Lakers in five games in the 2012 Western Conference semifinals. That's why Bryant described tonight's game as a "good benchmark for everybody in the West."
Though Bryant leads the league in scoring at 28 points per game, Durant trails slightly at 26.5 points per game. Durant won last year's scoring title and became a stronger focal point of the offense on this year's Olympic team. Westbrook, whom the Thunder picked fourth overall in the 2008 draft, has progressed in mixing his speed with better decision making.
Hence, Bryant has scaled back his advice.
"I haven't talked to them much this summer," Bryant said. "I feel like they already know enough."
Still, with Bryant describing Durant and Westbrook as "throwbacks," the Lakers guard says he feels gratified he provided a framework for them to become the league's next torchbearers.
"You feel proud about it because you feel you leave the game in good hands," Bryant said. "You've done more than just score points and win championships. But you helped lead the next generation."
Injury update
The Lakers consider forward Pau Gasol a game-time decision tonight against Oklahoma City. He's missed the past two games because of tendinitis in both knees Lakers forward Antawn Jamison twisted his left ankle Wednesday against New Orleans, but is expected to play against the Thunder.

TOPS Knives
TOPS CUMA TAK-RI 2 (Tactical Kukri). 13-1/2" overall. 7" 1095 high carbon steel kukri blade with black traction coating and "shark teeth serrations". Full tang with lanyard hole. Woodsman style gray micarta handles. Black ballistic nylon belt sheath.
Introducing the CUMA TAK-RI (Tactical Kukri) fixed combat/sportsman/survival/camp knife with FULL Woodsman-Style handles.
Written by: Waysun Johnny Tsai
The CUMA TAK-RI is not your a-typical kukri with a tactical spin on it. In fact, one must understand what a Gurkha Kukri is to see the curve in it's blade.
The kukri is a curved Nepalese Knife used as both a tool and as a weapon. It is a traditional weapon for Nepalese people, and also a weapon of choice/side arm for all Nepalese including those serving in different armies around the world.
The word Tactical translates into practical functionality, especially among millitary and law enforcement. That was the thought going into the knife's design. The CUMA Tactical Street Defense program was created by world renowned CQC expert Sijo Waysun Johnny Tsai in 2000. As of date, SiJo has over 31 years in the martial arts along with 25 years experience as an instructor. He wanted to create what he considered to be a truly functional knife that could be used for CQTcombat, street defense along with being an all around TOOL for the Outdoor Sportsman.
A few others helped along the way offering expert advice to ensure TOP performance of this blade.
Those experts include TOPS KNIVES founder/owner; Mr. Mike Fuller as well as the creator of the BESH WEDGE; Mr. Brent Beshara (BESH gave the knife it's name!).
A few things were mandatory for the blade: It had to be built strong and durable, so he approached TOPS KNIVES to make it. It's full tang frame is built out of 1095 high carbon steel with a thin strip of black linen micarta handle for weight reduction. At just 3/16" in thickness, this is one wickedly fast blade. The belly of the blade is deep for chopping firewood and shelter building.
It needed to have a large curved primary bottom edge, a partial top edge (for reverse swings) and what Sijo calls his "SHARK TEETH Serrations" serration for blocking, ripping and tearing bush, cord or anything that gets in it's way. The handle had to offer two types of grip options "long grip" for full extended machete swings as well as a choked up grip for precision cuts or carving. AND finally, a small pry for scraping and lanyard hole at the butt of the handle. Mr. Mike Fuller has stated that the CUMA TAK-RI is extremely interesting and no other knife in the extensive TOPS catalog is quite like it.
Once you hold the CUMA TAK-RI you will immediately agree that it is truly "Hard To The Core". In Fact, the TAK-RI caused such a buzz at the 2011 SHOT Show that Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk) pre-ordered his from the Tops Knives booth.
The CUMA TAK-RI can also be seen in IDW Publishing's ongoing G.I. JOE comic book series "SNAKE EYES". Comic book artist Robert Atkins selected the TAK-RI as the SERIES EXCLUSIVE knife for the most Iconic Ninja of all time. Snake Eyes can be seen slashing Cobra troops starting in issue #2 which hits comic book shops worldwide in June of 2011. The CUMA TAK-RI is also featured on the cover of issue #6 of Snake Eyes.

An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for its extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel (it will rust) and most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.
Durable, flexible, abrasion and mildew resistant, Nylon also is very strong
Micarta is a compressed layered composite sealed within a thermosetting plastic which creates a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.
This product is USA born and raised.

It is estimated that our Universe contains around two hundred billion galaxies, each containing an average of four hundred billion stars.
The Hubble Deep Field - NorthR. Williams (STScI), the Hubble Deep Field Team and NASA
In December 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope was used to create a spectacular image of the Universe called the Hubble Deep Field. This image shows a small section of the sky (about the size of a grain of sand held at arms length) that appears empty in Earth-based telescope images. The Hubble Telescope was aimed at this region of sky for 10 consecutive days. It was able to capture the faint light from distant galaxies and shows that even a small area of space contains many galaxies of different sizes, shapes, ages and colours.
Great advances in our understanding of the Universe were made in the early part of last century. Brilliant minds like Albert Einstein and innovative astronomers like Edwin Hubble showed that the Universe is expanding. Run the expansion backwards, as if time were reversed, and we end up with the entire Universe contained in a tiny point. The Big Bang theory remains our best scientific explanation for how it all started and has withstood many tests.
What Hubble uncovered as he observed distant galaxies was not that galaxies are flying away from each other but that the space between the galaxies is stretching. The Big Bang was the explosion of space and time, and it raises three possibilities for how the Universe may end. The expansion may continue forever, slow almost to a halt or collapse back on itself in what has been termed the Big Crunch.
Just recently astronomers studying exploding stars, called supernovae, in distant galaxies have discovered that not only is the Universe expanding but that the expansion is accelerating. This discovery was named Science Magazine's Breakthrough of the Year in 1998. It was a puzzling discovery because there is currently no known force that can account for the expansion of the Universe.
So what does it mean to say that the Universe is expanding and accelerating? Think of the Universe as a giant balloon that expands as it is inflated. That the Universe is accelerating means that the air flowing into the balloon is not constant but is speeding up over time, so that the balloon expands faster and faster.
The question astronomers are asking today is what's causing the acceleration? Does there exist a force opposite to gravity that repels matter rather than attracts? Einstein, in his original theory of general relativity, included an extra term, the Cosmological Constant, to his equations. The Cosmological Constant was a counter to gravity. A repulsive force to balance the attractive force of gravity so that the equations would describe a non-expanding Universe. When the Universe was found to be expanding he called it his greatest blunder, but perhaps it wasn't.
So what is the fate of our Universe? It starts action packed with the death of the Sun and our Galaxy's collision with the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy. But then it turns bleak. The Universe will grow to a size where light from distant objects won't be able to make it across the vast expanse of space. All parts of the Universe will become cut-off from each other. Eventually all matter will be locked away in stellar corpses—black dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Even these will decay sooner or later leaving just radiation and the odd everlasting particle or two. And so it ends, not with a bang but a whimper.
Nipuna, they aren't stupid questions at all, but they are very big questions that would take more space than we have here; this link (http://australianmuseum.net.au/The-universe/ ) to the Australian Museum might help answer some of your questions on the Big Bang.
There has been research into the possibility of time travel, and of the existence of alternate universes, but at this stage these are at best theoretical. Regarding you final question; it depends greatly on your definition of 'born'; you were either in your mother's womb, or even strands of DNA; this is explained well here: http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetailsKids.aspx?p=335&np=289&id=1613 .

Fox & Friends' softball treatment of Angle is just business as usual
Blog ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
Following Fox & Friends' whitewashing of Republican Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle's views on Social Security, falsely suggesting it's "not true" that Angle wants to "get rid of" the program (in fact, it's very much true), Nevada journalist Jon Ralston and the Fox affiliate in Las Vegas both assailed the show's softball treatment of Angle.
But that treatment was not unusual at all: Fox & Friends regularly provides a friendly, non-challenging forum to Republican candidates. Here are some recent examples:
- Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade performed a similar whitewashing job on Florida congressional candidate Allan West, stating that West's "personal enhanced interrogation tactic" got him "essentially a forced retirement" from the Army. Kilmeade didn't mention that West's resignation came after he admitted that he "threatened to kill" an Iraqi detainee in his custody, after which West, according to military prosecutors, fired a pistol near the detainee's head, and four soldiers in West's battalion beat the detainee. West was also curiously not identified as a Republican.
- Steve Doocy, Fox & Friends' chief softball-tosser to Angle, asked Kris Kobach, a candidate for Kansas secretary of state, to respond to "misconceptions" about Arizona's immigration law. At least two of the "misconceptions" Doocy asked Kobach about exactly tracked "major criticisms" of the law Kobach sought to "rebut" in a New York Times op-ed a few days earlier.
- Kilmeade plugged New York congressional candidate Gary Berntsen by claiming: "He knows how to get things done."
- Kilmeade introduced Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio as "soon to be senator, according to some."
- When New York Senate candidate Joe DioGuardi appeared on the show, Kilmeade sympathized with him about how "it's going to be hard" to run as "a Republican in New York," and he and co-host Gretchen Carlson asked questions about the career of DioGuardi's arguably more famous daughter, American Idol contestant Kara DioGuardi.
Nobody should be surprised that Fox & Friends treats Republican candidates with exceptional deference -- after all, Fox News is the communications arm of the Republican Party.

WHAT? Un-freaking-believable! Energizer battery charger contains backdoor
The United States Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT) has warned that the software included in the Energizer DUO USB battery charger contains a backdoor that allows unauthorized remote system access. In an advisory, the US-CERT warned that he installer for the Energizer DUO software places the file UsbCharger.dll in the application's directory and Arucer.dll in the Windows system32 directory. An attacker is able to remotely control a system, including the ability to list directories, send and receive files, and execute programs. The backdoor operates with the privileges of the logged-on user.
When considering a battery charger, if there's an open source one, choose it – and avoid the one that comes with software for no good reason, otherwise this could happen… MAKE stocks the MintyBoost, and while that charges devices (not batteries) – it's open source, does not require software, will not trojan your computer.

I know the question sounds silly, but here I go: I made a big hand-built bowl that I now see has the wrong kind of footring...it angles out and so the stark cream color of the clay is very noticeable against the dark textured glaze. The foot color jumps out and detracts from the beauty of the bowl!
What would happen if I used a dark underglaze or stain on the foot and re-fired it? If I refire it just to bisque temp (cone 04), what will that do to the glaze, which was fired to cone 6? I sure don't want to ruin the beautiful glaze on the piece!
And, if I refire it in a bisque load in my electric kiln will that hurt any of the other pieces in there?
I have learned a lesson about footring shapes and angles!
The bowl is so big that I don't want to fire it with a glaze load. I always have more space in a bisque firing.
I'll try to attach a photo... Hmmm.. Doesn't show up. How do you attach photos?
re-firing a fired glazed pot to color the foot.

You'll have a hard time getting anything to stick to the already high fired clay, but commercial brushing formula glazes or underglazes may work. If you only fire to bisque temp, your original glaze may change color. Depends on the glaze. I'd test it first on something small. It won't hurt anything else in the kiln.

If you use underglaze to color it you can fire that as low as Cone 016 to set it. No need to go as high as 04. Something might happen to your Cone 6 glaze at that low temp but the bowl does not please you now ... so it's worth trying.

If the bowl is just decorative and for your own use, and you don't want to risk damage to the glaze, you can always use acrylic hobby paint to color the foot. The colors are easy to mix. Dry brushing gives a matte finish. I used acrylic paint to hide repairs to a piece of pottery one of my children made when she was young. After I got the colors right, I painted on clear nail polish to make the repairs glossy like the glaze. The repairs are nearly invisible.

Iranian Ambassador Addresses US-Iranian TensionsFebruary 21, 2013
|Dr. Seyed Hossein Mousavian
The event, presented by the Center on National Security, addressed the motives behind and the possible solutions to Iran's growing nuclear program.
Mousavian, who served as spokesman for the Iranian nuclear negotiations team from 2003–2005 and is now a visiting research scholar at Princeton University, said that the installation of new uranium enrichment centrifuges will continue if the U.S. persists in its current behavior toward Iran.
"As much as [the U.S.] increases the sanctions, we will increase our enrichment capacity," he said, explaining that the introduction of UN resolutions and Western demands for transparency is a reaction to an over 30-year history of failed diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran.
Regarding Joe Biden's recent comments that the U.S. would be willing to hold direct talks with Iran, Mousavian doubted the Vice President's sincerity, saying, "The problem is not with these statements. Iranians evaluate the intentions of the U.S. administration by actions, not statements."
According to Mousavian, the Obama administration's punitive actions undermine U.S. government claims of wanting to ease tensions between the two countries. Mousavian added that, despite professing a wish for diplomacy, Obama has merely continued the aggressive policies of the Bush administration, with Iran now facing an economic crisis caused by "a historically unprecedented level of sanctions."
The ambassador mentioned Iran's cooperation with the U.S. during both the Iranian hostage crisis and the War on Terror as examples of Iranian goodwill; however, the country, argues Mousavian, has been met only with increased pressure and hostility.
Mousavian denied claims that Iran was expanding its nuclear capabilities in order to create nuclear weapons.
"If Iran decided to make a nuclear bomb today, they would be able to do it," he said, but cited Iran's decision not to resort to chemical warfare during the Iran-Iraq War as evidence that Iranian leadership does not wish to create weapons of mass destruction.
Mousavian explained that the creation and use of nuclear weapons would be contrary to the religious beliefs of the leadership of Iran, an Islamic state.
Mousavian also expressed concern over the ongoing cyberwar between the U.S. and Iran. He said that Iran began building a cyber army to address the growing threat of cyberwarfare from Israel and the West. Iran now has one of the most powerful cyber armies in the world, an unintended development, according to Mousavian.
"That's why [cyberwarfare] worries me, because I know the potential of the U.S. and the West, and I now understand the potential of Iranians. This is part of the nuclear issue." he said.
Despite the chilled relations between the U.S. and Iran, the ambassador said that he is optimistic about Iran's readiness to reach a compromise regarding the country's nuclear program. However, he said that Iran will only strive to meet the Obama administration's demands if the Iranian government is given the same consideration in return.


text: 3M Canada has a fun how-to on making your own duct tape wallet. I've seen these at stores around here and while I wouldn't buy one I think I'll make one just for kicks. I guess someone could go to the next level and make a laptop bag. Update: Andrew sent in a link to the duct tape bag here! He goes on to say "Basically it amounts to layering the duct tape strips to create sheets and taping those together. The trick is to let as little adhesive get through as possible, or it gets all over the place. Also, some testing would need to be done regarding weight, as a duct tape strap can only hold so much".

Champion LH setup up cpmplete.
Ok since I'm living in town and I don;t have time to shoot any more I'm letting my bow setup go. It's complete with 3 sets of arrows. 2 of the sets are carbon. I'll include my release, 2 quivers and all my field points and broad heads. I've got a hard case. I've used the bow enough to sight it in and it's been sitting and waiting for me to make time for about 3 years. now.
I'd like to get 450.00 for the setup since I've got 3 sets of arros, a hard case and all the other goodies. i know that LH shooters are not that common but I'd like to let it go so it will get used.
Location Gaithersburg MD
Thanks for looking

Southern Utahs NCAA Run Comes to an End Against Long Beach State
Related Links
"We attained what we set out to do this year by winning the conference," stated SUU coach Tracee Hoch. "I thought we put up a good fight here and helped to establish a tradition of making it to the regionals."
The 49ers put up two scores in the first inning without recording a hit after taking advantage of an error and walking in a run. Hannah De Gaetano then drove a double off the wall in left center with the bases loaded to bring two more home and stretch the difference the 4-0.
SUU got on the board in top of the third when Kadi Henderson lifted a three-run shot down the third base line to make it a one-run game. The hit also set a school record as the Thunderbird infielder knocked out her 32nd career home run to become the program's all-time leader.
"I didn't know I set the record," said Henderson. "I just knew I needed to get a hit with a runner on third and was excited when it went over."
The T-Birds captured their first advantage of the NCAA Regional in the fourth inning after Lyndsey Healey tied things up with a lead-off home run and Sara Park drove a two-run RBI single into left field to put Southern Utah in front, 6-4.
Long Beach rallied with five runs in the sixth inning to retake a 9-6 lead. Tupua started the scoring with a two-run RBI double, and a pair of SUU errors led to the final three scores of the afternoon.
Senior pitcher Ariel Hart (9-11) tossed the first five innings without an earned run before allowing three in the bottom of the sixth. Katie Greenberg gave up the other two runs before being replaced by Ashley Ostler who recorded the third out.
Amanda Hansen started in the circle for LBSU, and was charged with six runs on six hits before being relieved by Erin Jones-Wesley (20-10) in the fourth inning. She would pick up the win after holding SUU scoreless through the final three frames.
Southern Utah's season comes to an end after making the program's third appearance at the NCAA Regionals and capturing its first Big Sky Tournament title.
"I couldn't ask for a better way to end it," commented Henderson. "I'm so proud of our team and all that they went through to get here."

Microsoft Xbox 360
£140, amazon.co.uk
Microsoft has given its all to making the Xbox 360 your home media hub, even incorporating Kinect for gesture controlled interactivity. "But there's no Blu-ray drive," you say.
We say you don't need it, with catch-up services like BBC iPlayer and 4OD; all your PC-saved entertainment on your TV via the Windows Media Center, movie access through Netflix and Lovefilm; shows on 32 live Sky TV channels; plus Picturebox movie streaming and Zune Video to buy and rent new releases – you're spoilt for choice.
Online gaming, social networking, Xbox Music (a cloud based service coming in October) and a beautiful OS that you can even control from your phone are just bonuses that should leave your PC feeling very unloved indeed.
Sony PlayStation 3
prd:22913689" target="_blank">play.com
Sony has been riding the wave from its Cell processor splash-down in the PlayStation 3 since 2006, and with 64 million of them sold in that time it appears to be working. The future-ready console can handle catch-up TV with BBC iPlayer, 4oD and ITV Player, movie subscription services from Netflix, Lovefilm, the PlayStation Video store et al, and networked streaming of picture, video and music files from PCs and Macs.
While the browser may be sorely lacking, and the interactivity limited, you do get yourself a Blu-ray player and 160GB storage included in the price. Blu-ray is undeniably the best way to enjoy 7.1 audio and 1080p video with no lag, even if Netflix is doing a great job of competing. Plus with 3D gaming and 3D films on offer the PS3 is a great, cheap alternative to an expensive 3D Blu-ray home system. And if you have a PSP Vita you can start a game on the PS3 and continue playing on the move.
Apple TV
£99, applestore.co.uk
Apple fans will know that Apple TV is a great way to throw whatever you're watching or playing on your iOS device straight onto your big screen thanks to AirPlay. It also serves up plenty of great entertainment, with Netflix, Vimeo and YouTube all ready for you to access.
At that bargain-basement price, Apple TV looks like a great way of adding smart functions to your TV. But without any gaming options above what you can download and play on your iPad or iPhone – and catch-up TV only available by sligning it through those devices – Apple TV on its own isn't a one-stop solution. If you do have an iOS device Dual Screen is a great way to play games. But watching downloaded movies from anything other than iTunes isn't easy. Suddenly that price tag seems a little more expensive.
£150, amazon.co.uk
Boxee might not be the youngest contender in the media-streaming field but it's certainly one of the most accomplished. With a fantastic OS, dual sided remote including full QWERTY keyboard, and app support it's more than just a streamer.
Boxee is so smart it'll even gobble up everything on your home network and organise it into tidy video selections. Plus the app and website mean you can throw any video links you find during the day into one place and have them all, along with any videos posted on your social networks, in one place.

Okay, it's not actually out yet, but this open-source console has plenty of potential. Made by gamers for gamers, the Tegra 3 toting cube will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and be totally open to hackers and modders when it hits in March. That means, potentially, you can load up any Android app and have it running on your TV.
So if you want to stream movies from your computer, watch on Netflix, hook up a live TV card, or just check out catch-up TV – they're all possible. But since it isn't out yet, we can't say for sure who will officially be onboard – except OnLive, which is already getting involved. This could be the cheapest, most versatile living room media centre to ever exist, and it's under a hundred quid and coming in March 2013.

Undaunted, Woolley and Allen boldly entered him in the Kentucky Derby when a slot in the 20-horse field opened up.
Woolley hitched the horse to the back of his four-wheel-drive and traveled 1,500 miles to Churchill Downs.
If it is, it may be that the slump in the piano trade has caused Mr. Woolley to turn from musical instruments to cancer cures.
He was arrested at our house on March 12th, 1865, by Colonel Woolley's officers.
"Just the matter of thinking," said Dr. Woolley, very soothingly and in a voice which disarmed Suzanne and held her.
The "one guard" detailed to accompany me was General Woolley.
Woolley came back to report, that Col. Trimble heard what had happened.
Delightful book Mr. Woolley has written about your adventures.
Why don't you wait, as Dr. Woolley suggests, six months or a year?
Both of them often visited a very thrifty widow by the name of Woolley.

Ayotte: 'Immigration System Is Broken,' Backs Reform Bill
(NEWSER) – Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte has announced her support for the Senate immigration reform bill, bringing the measure one vote closer to the 60-vote majority needed to avoid a filibuster. "Our immigration system is completely broken; we've got 11 million people living in this country illegally and in the shadows. We have a legal immigration system that isn't meeting our needs to grow the economy," Ayotte told Face the Nation, as per CBS. "And so I looked at this carefully, this is a thoughtful bipartisan solution to a tough problem and so that's why I'm going to support it."

San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The San Francisco Giants added another proven arm to an already distinguished starting rotation, making their two- year deal with Tim Hudson official on Tuesday.
Per club policy, no financial terms were released.
The deal is reportedly worth $23 million, according to several media outlets, and is the Giants' second major offseason move in regards to a starting pitcher. The team re-signed two-time National League Cy Young Award recipient Tim Lincecum to a reported two-year, $35 million pact last month.
Hudson, who is recovering from a fractured right ankle that cut short his 2013 campaign in late July, ends a successful nine-year run with the Atlanta Braves and returns to the Bay Area. He spent his first six major league seasons with the Oakland Athletics prior to being traded to the Braves in December of 2004.
The 38-year-old had posted at least 16 wins in three straight seasons with Atlanta before going 8-7 with a 3.97 earned run average in 21 starts this past year. Hudson owns an overall record of 205-111 over his 15 seasons, the third- highest winning percentage among all active hurlers with at least 100 decisions.
Hudson compiled a 113-72 mark with a 3.56 ERA over 244 appearances (243 starts) with the Braves and has been an All-Star three times, most recently in 2010.
The veteran right-hander joins a San Francisco rotation that has three other one-time All-Stars in Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner. The Giants opted not to retain Barry Zito, Hudson's longtime teammate in Oakland, and Ryan Vogelsong by declining club options on both.

WATCH: Beyonce Donates $7 Million For Houston Homeless
Listen to Beyonce Radio on iHeartRadio
Beyonce is known for her charitable endeavors but the diva just set her own bar even higher.
The singer has donated $7 million for a housing complex in Houston to help shelter the homeless in her hometown.
Her pastor, Reverend Rudy Rasmus, recently revealed the news during an interview with KHOU.
"She's an incredible human being. Has an incredible heart and has been extremely helpful in our mission and our ministry here," he said.
"She has a global platform and is doing some amazing work and I'm glad she's a friend of mine."
He also shared some sweet memories of Queen Bey as a child.
"She used to sing right here," he said. "I don't remember the song but I do remember she had long braids, tennis shoes and jeans on. A far cry from what she is today."

Collapsed lungAir around the lung; Air outside the lung; Pneumothorax; Spontaneous pneumothorax
A collapsed lung, or pneumothorax, is the collection of air in the space around the lungs. This buildup of air puts pressure on the lung, so it cannot expand as much as it normally does when you take a breath.
A collapsed lung occurs when air escapes from the lung and fills up the space outside of the lung, inside the chest. It may be caused by a gunshot or knife wound to the chest, rib fracture, or certain medical procedures.
In some cases, a collapsed lung occurs without any cause. This is called a spontaneous pneumothorax. A small area in the lung that is filled with air (bleb) can break open, sending air into the space around the lung.
Tall, thin people and smokers are more likely to have a collapsed lung.
The following lung diseases also increase your risk for a collapsed lung:
Common symptoms of a collapsed lung include:
- Sharp chest pain, made worse by a deep breath or a cough
- Shortness of breath
A larger pneumothorax will cause more severe symptoms, including:
- Bluish color of the skin caused by lack of oxygen
- Chest tightness
- Easy fatigue
- Rapid heart rate
Other symptoms that can occur with a collapsed lung include:
Exams and Tests
There are decreased or no breath sounds on the affected side when heard through a stethoscope. You may have low blood pressure.
Tests include:
A small pneumothorax may go away on its own. You may only need oxygen and rest.
The health care provider may use a needle to pull the extra air out from around the lung so it can expand more fully. You may be allowed to go home if you live near the hospital.
If you have a large pneumothorax, a chest tube will be placed between the ribs into the space around the lungs to help drain the air and allow the lung to re-expand.
The chest tube can be left in place for several days. You may need to stay in the hospital. However, you may be able to go home if a small chest tube is used.
Some patients with a collapsed lung need extra oxygen.
Lung surgery may be needed to treat your pneumothorax or to prevent future episodes. The area where the leak occurred may be repaired. Sometimes, a special chemical is placed into the area of the collapsed lung. This chemical causes a scar to form. This procedure is called pleurodesis.
Outlook (Prognosis)
If you have a collapsed lung, you are more likely to have another one in the future if you:
- Are tall and thin
- Continue to smoke
- Have had two collapsed lungs in the past
How well you do after having a collapsed lung depends on what caused it.
Possible Complications
- Another collapsed lung in the future
- Shock
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of a collapsed lung, especially if you have had one before.
There is no known way to prevent a collapsed lung, but you can decrease your risk by not smoking.

You could say Shavon Coleman filled Johnny O'Bryant's shoes Tuesday from the opening tip.
Coleman, though only 6-foot-5 and recruited by LSU as a guard, handled the tip for the Tigers in the second game of the Johnny Jones era, then handled most of the heavy lifting in a 73-48 rout of McNeese State before an announced crowd of 6,776 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Coleman got the first start of his young Division I career because LSU was without sophomore big man Johnny O'Bryant, who suffered a strained left calf early in Friday's season opener. He responded with 25 points — 23 of them in the first half — and 10 rebounds, both game highs.
"He came out from the start, put his foot on the gas and never stopped," LSU guard Charles Carmouche said of Coleman.
Many of the fans who filed into the PMAC to watch the O'Bryant-less Tigers may not have known the player who wore jersey No. 5 and started alongside senior Eddie Ludwig, a 6-9 forward, on LSU's small, thin interior.
Coleman took a roundabout route to LSU, bouncing from Thibodaux High — where he earned District 8-5A MVP honors as a senior — to Howard College in Texas and then back to Louisiana earlier this year.
In the opening victory over UC Santa Barbara on Friday night, Coleman had six points and four rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench.
O'Bryant had 13 points and eight rebounds in the first 12 minutes of that game before leaving with the calf injury. He is listed as day-to-day.
"We knew Johnny probably wasn't going to play, so we talked as a team about what we all needed to do," O'Bryant said. "It was all about stepping up."
The performance of Coleman helped LSU pull away early as Jones stayed perfect through two games as his alma mater's coach.
This win came at the expense of McNeese State coach Dave Simmons, the predecessor to Jones as DeRidder High's point guard in the 1970s and a dear friend of the LSU coach. Jones and Simmons had never met as head coaches.
"I was hoping our first meeting would come in NCAA tournament," Jones said.
With the win, the Tigers improved to 21-0 all-time against McNeese.
Coleman hit from inside and outside, showing the kind of versatility that helped him average 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds for Howard College last year.
On back-to-back possessions late in the first half, the junior knocked down a 3-pointer from the left side and then threw in a transition dunk, sending him into intermission with 23 of LSU's 38 points.
Coleman became the first LSU player to reach 20 points in a half since Tasmin Mitchell, en route to a 38-point effort, scored 23 in the first half against Auburn three seasons ago.
At halftime, Coleman was 10-of-14 from the field, including 2-of-3 from 3-point range.
That left little drama the rest of the way — until former LSU band member Andrew Del Piero entered the game.
Del Piero saw the most extensive action of his career with eight minutes off the bench. He scored seven points, grabbed four rebounds and had one crowd-rocking blocked shot.
The roof of the PMAC may have come off had Del Piero converted an open dunk on a pass from Corban Collins with about three minutes left. He couldn't put it home.
"We were happy for him," Collins said. "He works hard, and he's come a long way. Just to see him out there showing the crowd he's ready to play, it's big. I'm glad he was able to get on the scoreboard and show some of the things he can do."
It was Coleman, however, who stole the show.

"If you're going to tap the classics, you better bring it," Bradford said.
George Galloway, a member of British parliament who represents Bradford West, is famous for a great many things.
George Galloway has returned to Parliament, winning a by-election in Bradford, Yorkshire.
That awkward wedding moment, however, was upstaged when Bradford collapsed of a heart attack and died right after saying "I do."
"And from those tinkling springs for whose water I already am athirst," added Bradford.
I was practising at the time down in the little town of Bradford.
Mrs. Bradford smiled and nodded to her, and at last Maggie went in at the door.
Further, the chancel at Bradford is rectangular, not apsidal.
Mrs. Bradford wished to send her a message, and told Jane to go with it.
Bradford had not been brought up to it, and was very illiterate.

UPDATE: 3 Confirmed Dead Including 8 Year Old, 100+ Injured
There were two explosions today at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. 3 people are now confirmed dead including an 8 year old child.
More than 100 people have been sent to area hospitals with injuries. 17 are said to be in critical condition. 8 of those injured are children.
The injuries include dismemberment, witnesses said, and local hospitals say they are treating shrapnel wounds, open fractures and limb injuries.
Wall Street Journal is reporting that 5 additional devices were found undetonated in the Boston area.
The FBI is now treating the attacks as 'a criminal investigation that is a potential terrorist investigation.
President Barack Obama said Monday he ordered the "full resources of the federal government" to respond to the Boston bombing on Monday, and that he also called for increased security around the United States as necessary.
"All Americans stand with the people of Boston," Obama said.
Obama said that any individuals or groups responsible for the "senseless" bombing in Boston will "feel the full weight of justice."

TV Ratings & Bowl Games Highlight America's Passion for College Football
Thursday, January 29, 2009
The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) highlighted that the 2008 season, a year filled with intense competition and spectacular wins, produced top-notch television ratings and concluded with another bowl season enjoyed by millions of fans across the country.
"The numbers show that the interest in college football continues to grow and that the sport is truly America's passion," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "We applaud the bowl games and the broadcasting industry for their efforts and creativity in promoting the great game of college football and making it accessible to millions of viewers and fans during the season. It was another incredible year, a year of unprecedented drama, exciting one to watch, and one enjoyed tremendously by all."
The game has benefited enormously from the commitment of every major media sports outlet, including ESPN on ABC, CBS Sports, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPN360.com, the Big Ten Network, CBS College Sports Network, NFL Network, Fox Sports Net, the Mtn.- Mountain West Sports Network, and Versus. Throughout the regular and bowl seasons these outlets continue to capitalize on college football's ever increasing popularity to produce an increasing dynamic product that engages fans on new levels. Many of these outlets are airing special encore presentations of this seasons games well into the spring and summer months, showcasing that ability of college football as a literal magnet for fan interest and superior television ratings.
The 2008-09 bowl season set high water marks for bowl viewership and fan attendance, attracting an all- time high 1,770,654 fans or an average of 52,078 per game and filling stadiums to 85 percent of their combined capacity. Two new bowls, the EagleBank Bowl in Washington, D.C., and the magicJack St. Petersburg (Fla.) Bowl, helped produce the largest lineup of bowl games in history with 34 contests and 68 teams participating.
With the 1.77 million in attendance and more than 135 million households tuning in to watch the games on television, bowl payouts ran an estimated $240 million in 2008-09 and have totaled $1.84 billion over the last 10 seasons. Over the next 10 years, bowls are projected to pay $2.5 billion to the teams and conferences in the Football Bowl Subdivision who participate.
Regular Season Ratings Highlights
ESPN averaged 1,931,000 households and 2.0 rating for all its games during the 2008 season, producing the third most-viewed season in the past decade and directly following the second most-viewed season (2007) and the third most-viewed season (2006) in the cable network's history. ESPN also earned the top spot in Prime Time among cable networks in November, edging out more than 50 sports and news outlets with a 2.4 rating, up four percent from its November 2007 mark. ESPN2 enjoyed an average of 1,028,000 households and a 1.1 Nielsen rating for 2008 college football, producing the most-viewed season ever for the network.
NBC's coverage of Notre Dame games nabbed an average 2.2 rating in 2008 for an 18 percent increase from last year while Versus had a .40 rating for 19 games or a 33 percent increase from 2007. The highly popular GameDay Built By The Home Depot on ESPN produced an average 1.5 rating while ESPN's presentation of the Heisman Trophy notched an impressive 3.1 rating, a slight increase over last year.
With No. 2 Florida beating No. 1 Alabama in the 2008 SEC Championship game, CBS notched a 9.3 rating, the highest rated non-bowl game for the year. It was the highest rated regular season game on CBS since a 9.7 rating for the Oct. 20, 1990 game between Miami and Notre Dame, and the highest rated game on any network for a non-bowl game since a 13.0 rating on Nov. 18, 2006 when No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Michigan on ABC. The 9.3 rating represented a 58 percent increase over last year's SEC Championship game and 107 percent increase over 2006.
Excluding championship games, ESPN on ABC notched the highest-rated regular season game this year with the Texas Tech 39-33 victory over then-No. 1 ranked Texas during Week 10. The primetime game tallied a 7.5 rating with 8,589,711 households watching, making it the network's fifth-most viewed regular-season college football game ever (and the seventh-highest rated ever). USC's victory over Ohio State in the third week of the season produced the second highest rated game of the season, 6.9, with 7,858,991 households tuning in to ABC, and the Texas Tech - Oklahoma game during Week 13 came in third with a 6.6 rating and 7,550,967 households enjoying the game also on ABC.
The Big Ten Network saw its coverage area ratings increase for afternoon college football games by 113 percent from a 0.8 in 2007 to a 1.7 rating in 2008. The network also achieved household impression records with audiences more than doubling in some markets from the previous year. For example, ratings in the Columbus, Ohio market rose from an average 10.3 HH in 2007 to 24.4HH this year, and ratings in Detroit increased from an average 2.4HH to a 6.2HH.
The Mtn., MountainWest Sports Network, saw a 78% increase in its average household viewership over its viewing audience from 2007. Over 13 weeks the network carried 30 games in 2008 an aggregate of 870,000 cable and satellite households tuning in versus 489,000 homes in 2007.
In 2008, VERSUS expanded its college football coverage to 24 games across the Pac-10, Big 12, Mountain West and Ivy League Conferences; up from just nine games in 2006. The network also added VERSUS College Football Central, which included the Craftsman Halftime Report and pre/post game shows on select telecasts. VERSUS concluded its third year of college football coverage with increases in ratings (up 33%), viewership (up 40%) and household impressions (up 27%) as compared to the 2007 season, while seeing growth in viewership for all the key male demographics.
Bowl Ratings Highlights
ESPN recorded five of the top 15 most-viewed bowl games on ESPN this year, including its second most- viewed bowl game ever, the Champs Sports Bowl with 5,098,000 homes and a 5.2 rating for Florida State's 42-13 victory over Wisconsin. (ESPN's most-watched bowl game ever was the Alamo Bowl on December, 30, 2006, between Iowa and Texas with an average of 5,521,000 homes and a 6.0 rating.)
FOX's coverage of the Cotton, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and National Championship Bowl games averaged 10 million households or an estimated 14.6 million viewers, an 11 percent increase from last year and producing the most watched BCS lineup on Fox ever.

Bowl Attendance and Ticket Sales
The FedEx BCS Championship Game in Miami produced the largest crowd (78,468) in Dolphins Stadium history for a football game.

The full-house at the Rose Bowl presented by Citi marked the 64th consecutive sellout for the New Year's Day classic. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl tallied its 24th sellout in the last 25 games, and the Chick-fil-A Bowl sold out for the 12th straight year with Georgia Tech hosting LSU.
The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, eclipsed its record turnout for the second year in a row at 41,127 fans for Air Force and Houston game. The PetroSun Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., kept its recent streak of 40,000-plus crowds alive with 41,567 on hand for Louisiana Tech and Northern Illinois. The Gaylord Music City Bowl attracted 55,000-plus as homestanding Vanderbilt battled against ACC foe Boston College.
The Champs Sports Bowl drew 52,692 fans - the second-highest attendance in the history of the bowl and the highest count since the event moved to Orlando.

Bowl Community Impact
The Chick-fil-A Bowl, which has formed a strong partner with the NFF Play It Smart program, brought its three-year scholarship distribution to over $2.6 million for Atlanta area students, and the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl saluted American military legend Gen. David Petraeus.

HRTM students land in paradise for May session
Check out graduate student Katherine Magner's blog about this course at http://web.sc.edu/wpmu/katherinemagner.
For ten university students in the School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management, it's the ultimate classroom with a view — the beautiful island of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Punta Cana is a popular tourist destination best known for its beaches, which face both the Atlantic and Caribbean Oceans. However, the six undergraduate and four graduate students are not down there just to work on their tans. They are conducting important work for the Dominican Republic International Airport.
The students of HRTM 389 and HRTM 590 are surveying passengers about their impressions and their satisfaction with the airport, its amenities, and services. Punta Cana International Airport is the world's first privately owned airport, and is one of the busiest and best connected airports in the Caribbean. In 2008, more than three and a half million visitors from around the world passed through.
The Carolina students arrived on the island May 11 and went to work right away.
"This class is actually a very interesting and useful look at international consulting and the real work that it entails," said graduate student Katherine Magner, who is blogging for the group.
For two weeks the students have worked all day at the airport interviewing every tourist leaving the Dominican Republic via the Punta Cana International Airport. They worked in three shifts, collecting the data and crunching the numbers.
But it's not been all work and no play, said Dr. Rich Harrill, faculty advisor to the students.
"We've also had fun, and I think the best part of the trip for the students was taking them out in boats to a large shallow part in the ocean to swim and snorkel," he said. "They they took pictures of the beach, palm trees, and green-blue water. Several students commented that they felt like were stepping into a postcard."
They are also learning about the stark contrasts one might find in a developing country.
"We visited several large five star hotels after traveling through shanty towns that supply the labor for the tourism industry," Harrill said. "It is gratifying as an educator and researcher to provide these lessons in person to augment what they learn in the classroom back home in Columbia."
