How different is different? The two methods may be using slightly
different estimators as defaults, so for instance if one is using Der
Simonian-Laird and the other REML, you're going to have differences.
You need to check to see if you're estimating the model the same way
and then compare. Even then they may well not line up perfectly if
there are other slight differences in the programming between the two
procedures, but they should be on par up to about four decimal places.

Ask a Dentist. Get Answers to Your Dental Questions.
Dear 2nd row,
The symptoms you describe indicate that your upper left tooth has abscessed. The pressure from the abscess is putting pressure on the nerve that runs along the top of your upper teeth. This nerve also exits your skull through a small hole just below your eye and supplies the feeling for the skin just below your eye, the same place you are experiencing the numbness. The pressure from the abscess essentially cuts off the nerve transmission from that tooth forward, causing the parasthesia you are having. This is a temporary situation, and once you have the abscess sorted out by your dentist, the feeling will return. Call your dentist today and don't let this situation get any worse as an infection is brewing. I hope this answers your question. If you have any concerns regarding this issue that I have not addressed, then please let me know and I will get back to you with more information.
Sincerely, XXXXX XXXXX DDS

As you are reading this, the massive, across-the-board cuts known as the "sequester" have just taken effect. To date, President Obama has not offered a credible plan to prevent the "sequester," which was his administration's idea to begin with. In fact, he took to the podium back in November 2011 to say he was so supportive of the idea he would veto any attempt to replace it.
House Republicans believe the sequester is not the right way to cut spending. That is why we have twice passed legislation - once in May and again in December -- that would replace those scattershot cuts with ones that are more targeted and help reform the way the federal government spends our tax dollars going forward.
These cuts are going to be hard on a lot of people here in northeast Ohio. That is exactly why we in the House said there needed to be a better way to go about reducing our massive yearly deficits. Now, President Obama has done an about-face, agrees with us and wants to reverse the sequester.
If the president is looking for a way to avoid the sequester, he need look no further than our plan because it is the only proposal that has passed in either chamber of Congress. Instead, he has done what he usually does and is traveling around the country trying to make Republicans look like the bad guys.
We all now agree the sequester is a bad idea. The answer is to work with us, not to demonize us just to score political points. That is exactly the type of politicization and lack of leadership the American people are sick of.
Last week, new data collected by Gallup showed the number of people getting health care through their employer is at its lowest point since President Obama took office. From the start, my colleagues and I in the House argued that the president's health care law would erode private health insurance coverage.
As businesses have begun to look at their books, many have come to that realization that it is cheaper to drop coverage for their employees and simply pay the fines within Obamacare. Some decide as they hire new employees that they simply will not offer them health insurance - ending with the same result.
While the number of people on employer based health insurance fell, not surprisingly the number on government run health care plans increase. This, of course, is just the beginning of the transition of employees from private to public health insurance as a result of Obamacare.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office recently reported it expects that 7 million Americans will lose their employer-based health coverage because of Obamacare. Private, independent analysis have predicted as many as 65 million Americans could lose their employer-provided insurance.
As USA Today and The Wall Street Journal reported, many businesses plan to bring on more part-time workers next year, trim the hours of full-time employees or curtail hiring because of the new health care law. Seventy percent of small businesses cite the health care law as a major obstacle to job creation.
None of this is good for an economy that is sputtering at the moment. Economic growth was negative last quarter for the first time in three years. The unemployment rate ticked back up last month and would be several points higher if the labor market had not shrunk back to the lowest rate since the 1980s.
This is all evidence that the President's health care law is bad for business and it is hurting or economy. It is time for the president and Congressional Democrats to admit their mistake and reverse it by repealing Obamacare.
U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci can be contacted via Facebook (facebook.com/repjimrenacci) and Twitter (twitter.com/repjimrenacci) and at his Wadsworth office at 330-334-0040 or his Washington office at 202-225-3876.
dman- My question was, if there are no cuts, why is Obama trying to act like there are cuts? Liberalism continues to astound and amaze. Being the liberal that you are, I see why you would not understand my post.
4477, you don't make any sense. You complain spending isn't being cut but then you complain that spending was cut when they cut WH tours.
According to the CBO, we are spending more money this fiscal year than last fiscal year. So there are no budget cuts. Illegal aliens being released, no more WH tours, why? Spending has not been reduced, so this must be liberal politics.
When your pay gets cut 20% that's a cut not semantics. Off to the teabag chamber with you.
Considering the %50 million just approved for the TSA to buy new uniforms I'd say it's all a question of semantics.
They just sent out a 20% pay cut to civilians. Teabagger logic is amazing. A cut in pay is now not a cut in pay.
Structurally Deficient and Sufficiency Rating
A bridge sufficiency rating includes a multitude of factors: inspection results of the structural condition of the bridge, traffic volumes, number of lanes, road widths, clearances, and importance for national security and public use, to name just a few.
The sufficiency rating is calculated per a formula defined in Federal Highway Administrations Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nations Bridges. This rating is indicative of a bridges sufficiency to remain in service. The formula places 55 percent value on the structural condition of the bridge, 30 percent on its serviceability and obsolescence, and 15 percent on its essentiality to public use.
The point calculation is based on a 0-100 scale and it compares the existing bridge to a new bridge designed to current engineering standards.
The bridges sufficiency rating provides an overall measure of the bridges condition and is used to determine eligibility for federal funds. Bridges are considered structurally deficient if significant load carrying elements are found to be in poor condition due to deterioration or the adequacy of the waterway opening provided by the bridge is determined to be extremely insufficient to point of causing intolerable traffic interruptions.
Every bridge constructed goes through a natural deterioration or aging process, although each bridge is unique in the way it ages.
The fact that a bridge is classified under the federal definition as structurally deficient" does not imply that it is unsafe. A structurally deficient bridge, when left open to traffic, typically requires significant maintenance and repair to remain in service and eventual rehabilitation or replacement to address deficiencies. To remain in service, structurally deficient bridges are often posted with weight limits to restrict the gross weight of vehicles using the bridges to less than the maximum weight typically allowed by statute.
To be eligible for federal aid the following is necessary (a local match is required):
Replacement: bridge must have a sufficiency rating of less than 50 and be either functionally obsolete or structurally deficient.
Repair: bridge must have a sufficiency rating of less than 80 and the jurisdiction is prevented from using any additional federal aid for 10 years.

dman- by your response, I take it we are spending more money this fiscal year than last fiscal year. So there are no cuts!!! Just a reduction in rate of increase. Only liberals can think a reduction in the rate of increase is a cut! Liberal logic continues to astound and amaze.
Federal nondefense discretionary spending all spending minus defense and entitlements is on track to hit its lowest level as a share of GDP in more than 50 years, according to data from the Congressional Budget Office.
Strange that the left only complains about what the right says.They never seem to have a problem when the left lies to them.I wonder why they can't be "fair"?And no Harry didn't even bring a sequester proposal up for a vote,he tabled everything from the House.Of course that is common knowledge,but some still don't understand.
Renacci,the Minister of Propaganda has spoken. All heel.
". . . . if they are stuctuarally deficient, why are we allowed to drive on them." - - - - Would you rather they 'structurally' fall down, killing people, be the determining factor as to whether or not they are 'safe?"
Who and what really controls the Republican party - http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/482456_546875175342940_387416985_n.jpg. . . . .by any other name, they are still the 1% - Koch bros, et al - Reacci's 'handlers'
This why Renacci is in congress; to assure his 'investments' pay off - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=365259243500173&set=a.293872007305564.89304.138121286213971&type=1&theater
Thanks dman. Question, if they are stuctuarally deficient, why are we allowed to drive on them. Question 2, Why did not the dems fix this when they had control of the Senate, House, and White House. If I remember, the last bridge collapse was in Minnesota during the time the Dems controlled congress.
Also, someone check me here but if read the CBO report right, we are actually going to spend more on the total budget in the next fiscal year than we did last fiscal year. So there are no budget cuts. right?
As usual Renacci doesn't tell the whole story. The Senate has a bill to deal with the sequester but the GOP has filibustered it. People are losing health care coverage from their employers because the rich corporations want to be even more richer. Screw the employees. It was happening before obamacare. Same for cutting hours and employees... If things are so bad for business then why do they have the highest profits in history, the highest salary for CEOs in history and the highest amount of cash on hand in history?
4477, According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, of the 600,905 bridges across the country as of December 2008, 72,868 (12.1%) were categorized as structurally deficient http://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/fact-sheet/bridges
Buzz, I am not aware of bridges crumbling in the United States lately, could we maybe have a citation on that?
If the left media doesn't tell him what to say buzzy has no response other than Hillary.
Again you have no intelligent response. Hail the Clintons is your answer to everything. Been there, done that, rejected Hilary.
Ask Clinton.
Buzz, let's say we did tax the heck out of corporations. What will they do in turn? Will they A. absorb the price increase, B. pass it on to the consumer, or C. go out of business. Logic tells me the answer is B. This raises prices for you and me. An indirect tax. Companies don't pay taxes, people do.
Why did the American working person have over 2% less take home pay since Jan.1?Was it HIGHER taxes?Why can't Obama cut 2% from a 3.7 TRILLION dollar budget?Why is nobody screaming about Obama not sending a budget to Congress by Feb.1 as the law says he is to do?When will Obama begin telling the truth to America?
Why do you want your corporate master to pay at the lowest rate in US history when we have bridges crumbling?
"won't work at all with the other party" translates to: won't give me what I want. Tax increases. Keep ducking, dodging and denying Buzz, the truth will find you.
The biggest problem is the teaparty Congress people like crybaby Renacci that won't won't work at all with the other side because he is only in there to protect his own millions.Every week he has his letter crying like a baby .If the health care laws are so bad why are so many Republican Governors are now going along with it?Whats bad for business is the screwed up teaparty like Renacci that do nothing but cry.
By both parties you mean zero democrats.
Both parties agreed to the sequestration believing it would be so unacceptable that the other would compromise. A game of political chicken. Now both are too pigheaded to resolve the issue. You can keep blaming the Rep's but it took both parties to create this situation.
Why did 218 house republicans and zero democrats vote for the "wrong way to cut spending."?
Rebuttal evidence Buzz? Put up or shut up.
Poor little Jimmy got big crocodile tears. Obama has a mandate and is applying outside pressure and all Jimmy does is whine.

The Department of Health and Social Services has been funding the Human Services Community Matching Grant (HSCMG) to qualified Municipalities/Boroughs around the state for many years. Eligibility for HSCMG funds requires Municipalities/Boroughs to have a population of 65,000 and offer up a 30% match. HSCMG funds are passed through to Municipalities who then solicit for essential human services / social services and award grants to local non-profit organizations. To date three Municipalities qualify under AS 29.60.600; they are Municipality of Anchorage, Fairbanks North Star Borough, and the Matanuska Susitna Borough.
The Department of Health and Social Services also funds the Community Initiative Matching Grant Program. (CIMGP) This program provides funding for the same services as the HSCMG although funds are directed toward communities who do not qualify for the HSCMG programs.
With the ongoing economical downturn in the United States, the need to serve Alaska citizen with the very basics essential needs is greater than ever. The Department of Health and Social Services focused its efforts through the CIMGP on services that directly provide the very basics in essentials human services such as:

A Philippines television show featuring a new style of beauty pageant has become an internet sensation.
BuzzFeed reports that a segment on the hit midday program It's Showtime, called "That's My Tomboy" - where lesbian women compete in front of a live audience - sparked a social media storm when it debuted in early October. By the end of the month, the hashtag #thatsmytomboy was trending on Twitter internationally.
"That's My Tomboy" follows a similar template to mainstream beauty pageants - just with less tottering, more swaggering. Each contestant introduces themselves and performs a talent, followed by a question and answer segment. Screaming fans and family members holding handmade placards cheer on their favourite 'tomboy' from the audience, while a panel of judges nod solemnly from the sidelines.
LGBT advocates have praised the show for finding an innovative and entertaining way to educate audiences about lesbian culture. Charice, the Filipino singing sensation who came out in May to much fanfare, is a big fan of the segment and contestants often reference her as source of inspiration.
2013 heralds a converging of gender identities, which has created a new kind of fashion freedom.

Elle, Bazaar, Vogue, and the many other monthlies fill glossy pages with "menswear inspired" designs. Look no further than Dior's stunning new ad campaign, where Jennifer Lawrence channels her inner tomboy.
Earlier this week, a raunchy crotch-to-crotch photo shoot for OOB Magazine featuring transgender model Ines Rau and Make Me A Supermodel judge, Tyson Beckford's made headlines.
A new range of mini suits for tomboy flower girls prove you're never too young to bust stuffy gendered conventions.

General information and payment security
Delivery/collection restrictions
Delivery for all services will be available in restricted areas.
Collection for orders placed via Waitrose.com is available from selected branches.
Collection for WaitroseEntertaining is available from all branches except selected Convenience stores.
We reserve the right to restrict deliveries in certain areas. This includes the right to withdraw our services to individual customers' addresses if you are repeatedly unavailable to take delivery of your shopping at your chosen slot time or in other exceptional circumstances.
Delivery and collection arrangements
Deliveries and collection times vary by branch. At the point at which you place your order, the full list of available delivery/collection times will be shown.
Goods must be signed for at the delivery address (or upon collection), by you, or by your nominated representative who must be aged 18 or above. Our drivers will apply our "Challenge 25 Policy." You may be asked for proof of age if you look under 25 years old. Under no circumstances will goods be left unattended, for example in a garage, or with anybody below the age of 18.
Pursuant to the Licensing Act 2003 it is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on behalf of any person under the age of 18, subject to a maximum fine on conviction of £1,000.
Waitrose.com is committed to upholding both their legal and social obligations as a retailer of intoxicating liquor. In order to achieve this, Waitrose.com has introduced a number of control checks throughout the purchase and physical distribution process (e.g. confirming your date of birth and requesting formal identification of anyone who they consider to be younger than 18 and on completion of delivery the signature of a person over 18 years of age).
In accepting these Terms and Conditions you agree to provide Waitrose.com truthful and accurate information and act in accordance with the Licensing Act of 2003.
If, in the unfortunate situation no one is available to accept and sign for your delivery, a card will be left by our driver asking you to contact your local Waitrose branch or our Customer Sales and Support Centre at your earliest convenience to arrange an alternative delivery time. Redelivery is subject to availability. A redelivery fee of £5 will be charged. If you fail to rearrange delivery, your order will be cancelled.
If Waitrose delivers outside the specified delivery period and no one is available to accept the goods, a card will be left asking you to contact Waitrose Customer Sales and Support Centre. There will be no charge for the rearranged delivery, and we will do our very best to get your shopping delivered as soon as is practically possible. In cases where it is not possible to offer redelivery, your order will be cancelled and the cost of your order and any other associated charges will be refunded to you.
If you have not contacted us to rearrange a failed delivery or collection within 24 hours, your order will be cancelled and the cost of your order (excluding the cost of perishable items and any other associated charges) will be refunded to you.
General payment provisions
Luncheon Vouchers and coupons cannot be used as a method of payment online. However they may be used when paying in branch.
Any of the following cards may be used to pay for your shopping: Partnership Card, John Lewis Business Account Card, Visa Debit (Delta), Maestro UK, MasterCard, Visa Credit, Solo, American Express.
Please note that there is a limit of ten gift vouchers per transaction for Groceries, Entertaining, HomeDirect, Flowers, Gifts and WinesDirect.
If payment is being made in part or whole by gift card, please note that a gift card can only be applied to an order once. If the gift card is added to an order and the same order is later edited and increased in value, further funds from the same gift card cannot be taken even if subsequent funds are available.
If payment details have been given we will not charge your card until your order is packed and goes through the checkout in store on the day of delivery or collection.
All customers collecting shopping, whether the registered customer or a third party, will be asked to provide a form of identification for the person who is paying for the shopping. The identification must match the cardholder name shown in the payment details on the checkout page. The card itself will not be required.
You are entitled to cancel a payment, or have such sums re-credited to your payment card where fraudulent use of your payment card has been made by another person not acting on your behalf.
Payment Security Policy
The Waitrose online food shopping service is run by Waitrose, food shops of the John Lewis Partnership. We are a company that our customers trust, both on the high street and online. We understand your concerns with security and your peace of mind and safety are of the utmost importance to us.
As a result, we have developed a highly secure online ordering facility for the Waitrose online food shopping service. This is specifically intended to give you confidence when you use your credit or debit card to shop with us and when you tell us your personal details like your address or phone number.
Credit Card safety
The Waitrose online food shopping service uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your details as they are being transmitted to us. This prevents anyone from eavesdropping on your shopping session and keeps your card and personal details private.
We allow you the option to store your card details with us, so that you can order from us again without needing to type your details in. We only ever show you the last four digits of your card number on our public internet site and of course, this information is 'for your eyes only'.
If you do not wish to store your card details with us, you can enter these each time you place an order with the Waitrose online food shopping service.
Your payment details are held in a secure encrypted server which is not accessible from the Internet. Access to this data is also secured internally within Waitrose and all card numbers are encrypted using a highly secure system that financial and banking institutions rely on, called Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard). This is widely acknowledged as being a very secure way to hide these details from prying eyes.
Once your order is processed, the payment details associated with your order are removed from our files.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™
To give you even more confidence in shopping online with Waitrose.com, we have introduced Verified by Visa and Mastercard® SecureCode™. These services enhance your existing card account security against unauthorised use when you shop with us.
To use this service, you must first register with the bank or other organisation that issued your card. To find out more about these services:
Visit the Verified by Visa website (Link opens in a new window)
Visit the MasterCard® SecureCode™ website (Link opens in a new window)
Once you've registered and created your own private password with your bank, you will be automatically prompted at checkout to provide this password each time you make a purchase online.
If you are paying for an order with gift vouchers and/or an incentive code and the total of these exceed the estimated cost of your order then Verified by Visa or Mastercard® SecureCode™ authentication may take place for a £1 transaction amount. You will not be charged £1. This happens so that a refund can be made to your card if your actual order cost is less than the gift voucher(s) or your card can be charged if the actual amount of your order exceeds the gift voucher(s) and/or incentive code amount.
Quantity limits on bulky items
Waitrose may limit the number of units of bulky / heavy products per customer order. This applies to online delivery and collection, and our 'shop in branch, we deliver' service.
Waitrose may decline to fulfil any order, including bulk purchase of items on promotion, or included in a special offer.
In the event of there being errors or shortages, these should be brought to the attention of Waitrose Customer Sales and Support Centre (using the contact details above) no later than seven days after the delivery, or collection.

Waitrose Limited (The Company) has produced nutritional information on this website for the general information of the public.

If we substitute an item with a more expensive one, you'll only pay the lower of the two prices (if the item we are substituting was of a fixed weight and therefore has a known price). Upon delivery or collection you will be made aware of unavailable items and their substitutes. You have the right to reject any substitutes offered and we will refund the amount that you have been charged for that product.
Where the only stock available of a product line is reduced in price in branch, the product will be supplied but at zero price.

6. Price match
At Waitrose, we believe that you should be able to shop for a fair price without compromising on either quality or service. We know price is really important, and that's why we put so much effort into getting it right. We have been regularly checking the prices of some of our competitors since 2006, and since 2010 we have committed to be the same price as Tesco - using them as a benchmark for the supermarket industry - on 1000s of everyday branded products, week in, week out, excluding promotions. As you would expect from Waitrose, there are no gimmicks, no coupons to redeem against a later shop, and no need to check your receipt online. We simply match the prices on the shelf, so you benefit immediately when you pay.
We do this by regularly checking www.tesco.com for the price of branded products that both Tesco and Waitrose sell. Tesco prices are checked on-line at www.tesco.com for a postcode served by large Tesco stores, so prices checked will exclude Tesco Metro and Tesco Express.
Everyday branded products are selected from our food and drink grocery ranges. For "Price Match" marked products, standard retail prices are matched on identical branded products at www.tesco.com. This excludes own-label lines, multi-buys and temporary promotions or any other special offers. In line with our responsible approach to selling alcohol, we will not price match on any alcohol product where to do so would mean selling below cost. If Tesco has an item on a multi-buy promotion (for example, 'buy one get one free'), we will still match the single unit selling price of the item but not offer the free product. If Tesco reduce the price of a product which is pending temporary promotion within Waitrose we remove the product from the selection of products on which we price match.
The offer does not apply to Little Waitrose stores or Waitrose stores in the Channel Islands, or to Welcome Break and Shell concessions.
However, our commitment to value is about much more than competitive prices, it's about all those extra things that are worth a lot - like great customer service, or feeling confident that the product you've just bought will taste delicious, and the knowledge that we source responsibly.
We may withdraw from this policy at any time without notice.
For further information on the price comparison please contact Customer Services and Support at Waitrose, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 8YA.

Coffeemakersetc.com offers quality commercial machines at unbeatable prices! Follow the blog header today to learn more!
While millions of Americans consume coffee daily, few speculate about the origin of their favorite cup of Joe. The beginning history of coffee is elusive to even scholars, researchers, and experts. This article explores some of the myths surrounding the origin of coffee.
For one, many scholars believe that coffee enjoyed today originated in modern-day Iran during the classical Arabian medicine period. Some researchers believe that Rhazes—a respected scholar, philosopher, astronomy, poet, and writer—first chronicled coffee in his authored encyclopedia of medicine. In the text, however, Rhazes referred to coffee as "bunchum." The French coffee merchant Philippe Sylvestre Dufour echoed Rhazes' accounts of coffee's history and claimed that Arabs invented the coffee beverage. In fact, one traditional Arab myth claims that the Angel Gabriel revealed the coffee beverage to the prophet Mohammed himself.
Another legend claims that Kaldi, a goatherd, fist discovered coffee in Ethiopia. During the night, Kaldi noticed that his goats and sheep could not sleep after eating certain berries. The goatherd tasted the coffee berries for himself, and enjoyed the feel-good and alert side effects of the concoction. Next, Kaldi relayed his findings to a local monastery. Convinced that the coffee berries were satanic, the head monk threw the coffee plant into a burning fire. Soon, the coffee beans produced an enticing aroma, and attracted the attention of the fellow monks. The monks extracted the beans from the fire and stomped on them, putting out the fire. As a result, the head monk ordered the monastery to cover the burning coffee with water.
Thought to be a gift from the angels of heaven, the coffee concoction, in a unique ember, heated. That night, the monks drank the aromatic, black beverage. Impressed with coffee's ability to enhance alertness, the monks continued to make and drink coffee in order to stay awake during their nightly prayers. However, experts believe that it is more probable that the monks chewed on coffee berries for centuries before an actual beverage was produced.
Another variation of the origin of coffee claims that Ethiopians brought coffee to Arabia via Sudanese slaves that chewed the berries during their voyage for survival. Some experts believe that the slaves could have ground the coffee and mixed it with butter, eating the resulting food like a chocolate bar. This preparation method was particularly popular with Ethiopian Galla tribes. Even today, this method of grinding coffee and mixing it with ghee is still popular in the coffee-producing regions of Ethiopia.
Finally, another myth accounts the story of Ali Ben Omar, an Arab monk traveling with his teacher to Moka. During the journey, the teacher died. Distraught, Omar was temped to give up until visited by an angel that encouraged him to proceed to the city, which was ripe with plague. With prayers to Allah, Omar cured countless citizens, including the king's daughter. Because Omar fell in love with the princess, the king banned the monk to the mountains. Here, starving a thirsting, Omar invoked the help of his teacher, who sent him a vision of a melodious bird. When Omar reached for the bird, he instead found a coffee plant. Omar created a tasty coffee concoction, and was welcomed back to the kingdom.

1. Oklahoma City (38-11): Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Kevin Durant:
In a shocking development, Jason Kidd is dumbfounded:
2. Indiana (36-10): This team has hit a weird point. Their defense is not quite as sound as it has usually been and…they just signed Andrew Bynum for the rest of the season. Yes, the same Andrew Bynum who is doing his best Matt Flynn impression throughout the league. Maybe this was a ploy to keep him from other East rivals, but if Frank Vogel can get anything out of this he should immediately win Coach of the Year.
3. San Antonio (34-13): After enduring their first losing streak of the season (with losses to Miami, Chicago and Houston) the Spurs bounced back into the win column against New Orleans. Manu Ginobili has looked great so far this year, so great against the Rockets that he forgot he was 36 drove to the basket and threw down a monster jam. Apparently 36 year old dudes aren't supposed to dunk like that because he promptly injured himself on the play.
4. Miami (33-13): The Heat are 4-1 in their last five, but the one loss could loom ominous later in the year. Before the Thunder beat up on the Heat, OKC and Kevin Durant were always playing second fiddle to the Heat. This win proved that KD can outplay Lebron James and lead his team to a victory. This subplot could become a big one if these teams meet again in the finals.
5. Portland (34-13): Rip City is officially 3-4 in it's last 7 games and frankly, that won't cut it. Depth is the issue. When LaMarcus Aldridge, Damian Lillard and Nic Batum aren't firing on all cylinders, this team struggles to win. You know, because they ignore the idea and concept of defense.
6. LA Clippers (34-16): The Clippers have been playing really well and are clearly the elite team in the Pacific. Blake Griffin averaged 26 points in January on 55% shooting. He's no KD, but he's carrying his team in his own right.
7. Houston (32-17): "LINSANITY HAS RETURNED!" is what a sports writer grasping for straws might say after Jeremy Lin's first career triple double against Cleveland. The Rockets are 6-2 in their last 8 with their only losses coming to the "Hansel level" hot Grizzlies. Houston runs into another buzzsaw on Wednesday against Phoenix, can they survive and put together a win streak to cement their top in the upper echelon of the Western Conference?
8. Golden State (29-19): I have trouble deciding what to think of this team. They have a great talent level and in some games look like the best team in the league, but it's an inconsistent performance level. If they can figure it out, I'll still have them going to the finals in the West, but right now, I'm not quite as confident. In either case they have won 3 of 4 and Steph Curry is playing great.
9. Phoenix (29-18): They have won 5 in a row and have been led by should be all star Goran Dragic. In the teams' 5 game winning streak, he is averaging 24.4 points, 6.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds on 60% shooting. The kid is playing about as well as anyone not named Kevin Durant. Phoenix continues to impress and will be a serious contender if they are able to acquire Pau Gasol.
10. Memphis (26-20): Just as I predicted in our first round table, the Grizzlies have become the hottest team in the NBA. The basketball gods apparently have something against Memphis, because right as they started to streak (six wins in a row 11-1 in their last 12) Mike Conley injured his ankle.
11. Dallas (27-21): It would be beating a dead horse to harp on their lack of a quality defense again this week, so I'll avoid that. Instead I'll focus on Dirk Nowitzki being named to his 12th all star game. When all is said and done Dirk will probably be the second best stretch four in the NBA behind Larry Bird.
Congrats to my guy @swish41. Good guys can and do win. #35 ain't nothing but a number.

12. Atlanta (25-21): At this point what Mike Budenholzer is doing is bordering on the absurd. First Al Horford goes down and they continue to play well, then Jeff Teague gets hurt and they weather that storm. Somehow with smoke, mirrors and a whole lot of grit the Hawks are a threat to win every game they play. This week they absorbed a 43 point effort from Kevin Love and still came up with a win against a solid Minnesota squad.
13. Toronto (25-22): Winning 3 of 4 this week was an excellent step for the Raptors as they extended their Atlantic lead to 4 games. DeMar DeRozan returned from his ankle injury after missing two games (both Raptor wins) to play excellent in the teams' most recent 2 games. He was the main reason they had a shot to upset Portland in Portland on Saturday (36 points). Although they came up short, I don't see how the Raptors can break up this team before the deadline as they continue to play competitively against any opponent.
14. Chicago (23-23): The Bulls are having issues with Carlos Boozer and that's honestly the best thing that can happen. This team is tank-proof because Coach Thibs and this team have too much pride, but if they part ways with Boozer, they improve draft stock and free up $15M. Worst things can happen upon parting ways with a player.
15. Washington (23-23): Try and figure out when the Wizards are going to play well and when they are going to barely show up to the game? You can't. Recently this team has lost to bottom five teams Utah and Boston, while beating the elite Thunder and Warriors. On the bright side, John Wall seems to be emerging en route to his first all star appearance.
16. Minnesota (23-24): Kevin Love scored 40+ points again. Guess what? The Wolves lost because they are 0-3 this year when Love scores over 40 points. That stat right there is a microcosm of the Wolves' season.
17. Brooklyn (20-25): A terrible week for the Nets saw them lose all three games they played this week. They need to snap out of it and get back to playing well if they want to get out of the dreaded 7 or 8 seed in the East. They are way too talented to play with this level of inconsistency.
18. Denver (22-23): The NBA's weirdest team is keeping it up. While Ty Lawson is the number one option on this team, the Nuggets are still plagued with the issue of not having a go-to player. On the plus side, any guy on the roster can lead them to victory on any given night, but that means this team doesn't have a plan down the stretch of close games.
19. New Orleans (20-26): The Pelicans are 4-1 in their last five and coincidentally four of their past five games have been against the east (I bet you can't guess which one they lost). With the injuries the Hornets have suffered they should probably trade all their veteran pieces so that they get to keep their first round pick owed to the 76ers. On the bright side NO signed blog favorite Luke Babbitt.
20. Charlotte (21-28): The Bobcats are getting away from the defense that made them competitive early in the season. "Since the start of January the 'Cats have allowed 107 points per 100 possessions to opponents ranking 23rd over that time". If Not for Al Jefferson's torrid scoring streak this team would not sniff a victory.
21. Detroit (19-27): If this team can harness Andre Drummond's powers and full potential, Detroit can be in good shape. In order to do that, Detroit must make some sort of move before the trade deadline. Their entire front court is uncomfortable because, I mean…
22. New York (19-28): A loss to Miami is no big deal, but they have still failed to play well on a regular basis. This is a team of streaks and they need to put together another good run before the deadline or else I think the team will have no choice but to start planning for the future.
23. Cleveland (16-31): They lost to the Knicks by 1000 points and always seem to be on a perpetual four game losing streak. But hey, you have an All-Star somehow!
24. LA Lakers (16-31): They have lost 6 in a row and won only 3 games in all of January. I think this may be the worst team in the league outside of Milwaukee.
25. Utah (16-31): Will the real Enes Kanter please stand up? While the Jazz are a young team chock full of potential, I think the development of Kanter as a big man is one of the main factors in this team becoming a contender. That and not letting Steph Curry score 44 points.
26. Sacramento (15-32): Sacramento has lost 9 of 10 and 7 in a row. They need to get healthy, but this is unfortunately a bad team and, now after the Rudy Gay trade, a team in a tough financial situation.
27. Philadelphia (15-33): A buzzer beating win over the Celtics is the team's lone win over the last 6 games. They don't play defense and they play at a dizzingly fast pace on offense. While short on wins, they are never short on entertainment.
28. Boston (16-33): Rajon Rondo returning to form with 19 points, 10 dimes, 6 boards, and 3 steals as well as Jared Sullinger's back to back monster double doubles give fans and management alike a peak into the future of this franchise. Of course it's all about the draft with this team, but you can't help but love those two players. It's kind of pathetic, but a lot of NBA "experts" do not seem to value Rondo very highly, which is strange considering he is arguably a top 3 point guard when fully healthy….which doesn't look far off. Some people just have a very short memory.
29. Orlando (13-36): Apparently, the Orlando Magic aren't concerned about Jameer Nelson's sore left Knee. With it being advantageous for the Magic to lose games I don't think the Magic are in the position to be concerned about any injury that doesn't linger past the season.
30. Milwaukee (8-39): Hey, Bucks fans. A six game losing streak isn't as bad as a nine game losing streak.
Sincerely, Mr. Brightside.

Chris Matthews: ObamaCare Like a 'Brilliant Writer…Who Turns In A Paper With A Lot Of Misspellings'
Obama sycophant and Hardball host Chris Matthews just landed what MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell called a "big get" interview this Thursday with the president. So naturally he took to the air on Tuesday's Andrea Mitchell Reports to gush about the chief executive who's been known to send tingles up his leg.
Matthews compared President Obama to a "brilliant writer…with a great theme" who "turns in a paper with a lot of misspellings or bad handwriting." [One wonders if this is in anyway autobiographical, with Matthews thinking of his misadventures in book writing.] [See video after jump. MP3 audio here.]
Matthews went on to describe the disastrous ObamaCare rollout as merely "strange" and proclaimed his support for "all the great strengths potentially of a national health care system."
You can chalk Matthews' comments to the list of "Chris Matthews's Multiple Obamagasms" which my colleague Scott Whitlock compiled in preparation for the "exclusive" interview the MSNBC host has with President Obama later this week.
See relevant transcript below.
Andrea Mitchell Reports
December 3, 2013
1:36 p.m. Eastern
ANDREA MITCHELL: And in fact President Obama is going to be playing "Hardball" on Thursday. Our own Chris Matthews is going to have an exclusive interview with the president at American University as part of "Hardball's" college tour. Chris Matthews joins me now. Chris, thanks so much for being with us. Big get, huge exclusive. I'm excited to see -- I don't want to take away any thunder or any surprise, but obviously you're going to have to talk to him about this health care rollout and how he's going to try to turn the page.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, I'll say this to the people watching from the White House, that if you watch "Hardball," and the way that we have handled that issue and all the other issues to where we put our focus, I'll be doing that Thursday night. I'll be talking about executive accountability and the strange way of this rollout as it has occurred. I think I would compare it, Andrea, to a brilliant writer, perhaps, with a great theme who turns in a paper with a lot of misspellings or bad handwriting. It's a bad way to roll out something. With all the great strengths potentially of a national health care system along these lines the way it was rolled out has hurt it. It hurt its reputation. It's given the other side a lot of talking points to use against the president generally in terms of his competence.
And I'm going to ask about that and focus on the things we have, but also talk about political dysfunction in this country and the inability of the two parties to work together. I was dismayed by the speaker's comment the other day which was picked up in the Post, "Washington Post," that the reason we can't get anything done is that we have divided government. Well hell, we're going to have divided government for years ahead. If the Republicans grab control of the senate by a couple of votes, they won't have the presidency to pass laws and have them signed. They won't have the 60 votes in the senate. That's the excuse. That we can't get anything done because we have divided political parties who fight with each other. We'll never get anything done in this country.
So I think there's a failure at the top to get things done. And I don't think you can blame it on the fact the American people haven't made up their mind, they want one political party to run the country. They haven't decided that. They want both political parties to work together. I want to talk about political dysfunction, executive accountability and the questions of how we fight our wars with drones or ground troops. That kind of questioning the president has to deal with in terms of moral principle. It will be the big issues.
