1 : David Futrelle
It's tempting to dismiss David Futrelle as a buffoon, or at worst, an irritant to the men's rights movement. His 'critique' of the radical notion that men and boys are human beings with rights consists of little more than quote harvesting, often of bloggers, or even blog commentators, who have never even identified themselves as MRAs, and whose words are then taken out of context and commonly and deliberately mis-interpreted. The most controversial sound bites from around 'the manosphere' are directly quoted and then interspersed with crude mocking and lazy attempts at schoolboy humor.
All this in a blog that some might claim to be a thinly disguised scheme to get David laid with some of his mentally disturbed and emotionally vulnerable female readers ( via 'Manboobz Meet-Ups' which Fraudtrelle was organizing within weeks of setting up shop). David also seems to forget that his attitudes to certain controversial issues were a lot different (think polar opposite) back in the 90's when he authored hundreds of articles that should provide countless hours of fun for any MRAs wishing to experience the joys of malicious quote harvesting for themselves.
And yet there is no denying the impact that this 'man' has had on the men's rights movement already – chiefly through his major 'coup' of persuading the Southern Poverty Law Center, a prominent but seemingly corrupted 'anti-hate group' organization, to launch an attack upon us. Within a few months, virtually all of the leading sites associated with the men's rights world, and listed in the SPLC's 'hate report', had either disappeared, changed their name, or embarked upon a more 'moderate' editorial policy. No other individual has had such a radical influence upon the MRM in such a short space of time.
Of course, Fraudtrelle's pernicious power to wreak havoc doesn't just extend to the men's rights movement. The SPLC are taking a huge gamble in getting into bed with a man who is walking in the shadow of other notable career male feminists such as Hugo Schwyzer (who once attempted to kill his girlfriend and is a self-confessed serial seducer of his college students) and Kyle Payne (who filmed himself violating a schoolgirl who was in his care, and then downloaded child pornography after being released from prison). Fraudtrelle has clearly persuaded the SLPC that in order to continue being able to pay generous staff salaries, and in the absence or decline of traditional racist 'hate movements', the MRM represents a financially lucrative new target. The SPLC still maintains a proud reputation, and even takes credit for effectively destroying the once powerful Klu Klux Klan. Fraudtrelle will not only bring shame upon the SPLC if he ever becomes the latest male feminist involved in a sex abuse scandal, but if the men's rights movement does continue to grow and become accepted as a legitimate human rights movement, then the decision of the SLPC to follow Fraudtrelle's advice and target it will have tarnished its own reputation forever.
This might be another controversial choice, but there is no doubt in my mind that the Amazing Atheist is the one anti-feminist who has the potential right now to transform the Men's Rights Movement from a collection of angry bloggers waiting passively for the day we get silenced by new 'hate speech' laws, to a real million man activist movement which could shake the Gynocracy to its foundations.
The facts speak for themselves. Close to 1/3 of a million subscribers on YouTube (when the top MRAs without breasts have about 5,000 each) the Amazing Atheist can get websites shut down within hours of uploading a video making fun of them.
Led by the Femiservative Dawn Hawkings, PornHarms is the leading anti-pornography lobby group in the world. It has succeeded in getting a written assurance from Mitt Romney that he will do all in his power to completely ban pornography in the USA if he is elected as president. Dawn Hawkings personally believes in the 'demand and supply' argument that requires not just the publication of pornography to be outlawed, but the simple viewing of it criminalized as well. If her wishes are granted then virtually every male in the United States of America will be criminalized and face prosecution as a sex offender. You would think this imminent and nightmarish possibility might just be considered a men's rights issue, but unfortunately it appears not to be….except, thankfully, to the Amazing Atheist. Earlier this year he posted a video on to YouTube – 'Porn on a Plane' – describing Dawn's experience of reprimanding a fellow passenger for viewing legal pornography on his laptop during the flight. Within hours it had received hundreds of thousands of views, and within one day her lobbying group website PornHarms.com had been taken down.
No other figure associated with the men's rights movement comes close to possessing this power. Unfortunately, likely due to his primary identification as an atheist, and his (male) sex positive views, as well as perhaps jealousy, he is largely shunned and ignored by the movement that could fast forward itself by a decade in one bound if it only had the sense to embrace him.
See also : It's Only Sexist When Men Do It (1 1/2 million YouTube views).
3 : Angry Harry
Considering our notoriously fractious nature, the fact that so few (if any) MRAs have anything other than respect for Angry Harry, the father of the modern men's rights movement, says it all. Although he seems to have taken something of a well-earned break recently from regular involvement in the online movement, it's likely (and to be hoped) that even if he is semi-retired his rich archives from over a decade of writing on the subject will continue to define what Men's Rights is and ought to be.
4 : Paul Elam
While Paul isn't to everybody's taste, there's no doubt that it's already difficult to imagine what the men's rights movement would currently be without him – if it could even be called a movement. Still the man most likely to successfully transition the MRM from a loose collection of opinionated and heretical bloggers into an effective political force in the offline world.
5 : Heartiste
Similar to and perhaps more so than the Amazing Atheist, Heartiste isn't an 'MRA', or at least not self-identified as one. But through sheer popularity, his strong anti-feminism, and through writing on issues that relate to surviving as a man in a feminist world, there's no disputing his influence.
6 : W F Price
Took 'The-Spearhead' to the position of number 1 men's rights site (although he doesn't accept that it is a 'men's rights' site) within weeks of launching it. Welmer's thoughtful and varied articles are still essential reading, and the comments section still amongst the most entertaining.
7 : Warren Farrell
Author of the Bible of the Men's Rights Movement – The Myth of Male Power. Began as a feminist but gradually came to see that society wasn't acknowledging the disadvantages faced by men, both historically and through the changed gender roles of today.
8 : 'Ignatiusloyla'
Long time moderator of the Men's Rights sub-reddit which recently achieved its 50,000th subscriber. For most of its history he ran r/mensrights with only the infamous and clueless Kloo2Yoo as a fellow mod. Attracted criticism for failing to stop feminist trolls and co-opting, whilst simultaneously banning men's rights activists for 'misogyny' or for posting articles discussing clear MRA issues such as absurdly draconian and broadly defined feminist laws on child pornography. Finally forced to admit other moderators, but still likely the most powerful influence on what is inescapably the largest and most important men's rights community online.
10=: David Benatar
Author of 'The Second Sexism' published this year – the most rigorously argued defence yet of the idea that men face disadvantages in society on account of discrimination.
10= : Steve Moxon
Brave author of the anti-feminist classic 'The Woman Racket' which uses evolutionary psychology to explain how and why women, rather than men, have the power in society. One of the few MRA's since Angry Harry with the courage and integrity to place the ongoing feminist rape of male sexuality and resulting legislative creep at the heart of any plausible notion of male disadvantage. Given his communication skills, media experience, and broad knowledge of evolutionary psychology, Steve Moxon would certainly be at the top of this list if he ever decided to assume a Paul Elam style role in a pro-male sexuality men's movement.
10= : 'The Futurist'
Also known as 'The Fifth Horseman', has to be in this list because of the outstanding and widely read 'Misandry Bubble'. Some MRAs have questioned the level of originality, but no-one can dispute the way the Futurist has assembled the main themes and arguments of the movement into an academic standard essay, together with his own spin that manages to combine traditionalist pro-family sentiment with conclusions upon the inevitability of sex bots and virtual reality porn and their dire consequences for feminism. One of the very few must read articles in the Mansophere, and one that repays repeated study.
Other notable names (I'm aware I've probably unintentionally omitted some glaring ones – please leave suggestions in the comments below) :
ManWomanMyth – set a new standard in men's rights documentary making.
Eivind Berge – started a national discussion in Norway on Men's Rights. Again, one of the few MRAs brave enough to speak out against feminist sex laws.
—— Added mainly after being reminded by esteemed readers :
Neil Lyndon (author of influential 'No More Sex War'), John the Other, GirlWritesWhat, Fidelbogen, John Waters, Kevin Myers, Lionel Tiger (author of 'Decline of Males' and promoter of 'Male Studies' as an academic discipline), writers at Spiked Online for attacking abuse hysteria and identifying it as an attack on men and on families, Glen Sacks…

Total lung capacity (TLC) is the maximum amount of air the lungs
can hold when they are fully inflated. This amount can be measured as part of
lung function tests.
To measure total lung capacity, a person sits inside a booth called
a plethysmograph and breathes through a mouthpiece while pressure and air flow
measurements are collected.

Google has continued its "spring clean" of services that have failed to take-off, shutting down another seven.
While some closures, such as Gear and Wave, had been announced previously, others are new additions to the scrapheap as it seeks "a simpler, more intuitive Google user experience".
The closures range from a green project researching solar power to marginal tools that "haven't had the impact we'd hoped for", the search giant said.
Google will call time on the Bookmarks Lists tool for organising and collaborating before the end of the year, and kill off the Google Search Timeline feature that helps sort results.
"We're removing this graph of historical results for a query. Users will be able to restrict any search to particular time periods using the refinement tools on the left-hand side of the search page," said Urs Hölzle, Google fellow in a post on the Google blog, adding that it would also remove the Friend Connect that made it easy for site-owners to add social features to their sites.
"We're retiring the service for all non-Blogger sites on 1 March, 2012," Hölzle said. "We encourage affected sites to create a Google+ page and place a Google+ badge on their site so they can bring their community of followers to Google+."
Content collaboration tool Knol will also be shut next year, the company said.
Perhaps more significantly, Google also said it was binning the Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal initiative, which was designed to help reduce costs of renewable energy by researching improvements to solar power technology.
"At this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google to take this research to the next level," Hölzle said.
"So we've published our results to help others in the field continue to advance the state of power tower technology, and we've closed our efforts."

5 Ways to Stay Cool This Summer
It may be cool now, but they say we're in for a record breaking hot and humid summer. I'm already on the look out for ways to stay cool…
1) Find a new bathing suit so I can move my workout to the pool.
2) Brush up on my blender skills for smoothies.
3) Haul the cooler out of storage.
4) Meet new neighbor that has an awesome boat.
5) Make an appointment for laser hair removal.
I've got to admit this last one is a no-brainer. I've been a fan of Syracuse Laser Spa for a while now and am constantly telling my friends and listeners they've got to check them out. But then why wouldn't I? I'm always on the lookout for the hottest businesses in CNY. Email me about your business and maybe we can work together to get the word out.

Pulsar® Digital Night Vision Recon 550R. Boasting a cool automatic record feature , it's one of the most compact and ergonomic digital night vision devices available!
The Recon 550R features high light gathering capacity (F / d = 1.0). Combined with large magnification, this ensures one of the best viewing distances among budget-minded NV devices. Model Recon 550R is equipped with an integrated video recorder to capture image observed and a jack to couple with external sources. The jack functions both in video out mode and video in mode. Video out mode allows video recording without use of adaptors and camcorders or cameras; video in mode can be employed to transmit image via radio channel from remote cameras to Recon's display.
Function motion automatically launches recording as soon as a moving object appears in the field of view of device (the unit saves a 5-second long fragment before an object appears and a 5-second long fragment after the object disappears). The built-in IR illuminator (805 nm wavelength is optimal for night vision) permits the device to operate in complete darkness. You may also use the Recon 550R with additional, more powerful infrared illuminators including "invisible" version (940 nm).
The Recon 550R also features a specially designed mount combining Weaver® and 1 / 4 inch standards to affix various accessories. The Recon 550R has four working modes of the display - black and white, green (regular color for NV), red (reduces eye strain) and enhanced contrast mode.Tech specs:

On Nov. 13, 2010, Mat Troupe flew to Tucson for a recruiting visit, sat in the Zona Zoo during the UA-USC football game and began to think he would pitch for the Arizona Wildcats and not his first choice, the UCLA Bruins.
Troupe, then a .358-hitting catcher/pitcher at Los Angeles Chaminade College Preparatory, was an elite-level prospect who had told UCLA coaches he wanted to be a Bruin. And why not? The drive to UCLA's campus from Troupe's high school took 20 minutes.
But because college baseball is limited to 11.7 scholarships per 25-man team - "nobody on our team has a full scholarship," UA coach Andy Lopez said after qualifying for the College World Series - Troupe was in something of a bidding war.
The Bruins low-balled Troupe; Lopez almost doubled the scholarship offer. And so, on Friday night in Omaha, Troupe pitched 2 2/3 fabulous innings of relief, the winning pitcher in a compelling extra-inning victory over Florida State.
Troupe, who wears Eric Gagne-style glasses to reflect his admiration for the ex-Dodgers closer, pitched just two-thirds of an inning during the regional and super regional sweeps at Hi Corbett Field.
But he was ready when summoned from the bullpen in the 10th inning of a tie game. He looked a lot like the 2011 Chaminade pitcher who struck out 91 batters in 56 innings after converting from catcher to full-time pitcher.
Troupe was so committed to pitching for Arizona, turning down a bonus offer from the New York Yankees last summer, that when rumors spread that Lopez might leave Arizona to coach at Cal State-Fullerton, Troupe texted Lopez and said, "We need to talk."
The deal was: Troupe would bypass the Yankees' offer if Lopez remained at Arizona. They would do big things together.
And on Friday night they did.
Now comes tonight's match with Troupe's hometown team, UCLA. Tucsonans who watched the Wildcats win the 1980 and 1986 College World Series are reminded how important relief pitching is in Omaha.
In 1980, UA closer Greg Bargar pitched 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief in Arizona's championship game victory over Hawaii. Bargar pitched so well in Omaha that he was a third-round draft pick of the Montreal Expos.
In '86, Joe Estes was the winning pitcher, in relief, in CWS victories over Maine and Loyola Marymount. Estes left Arizona as the school's career saves leader.
And now come Troupe and his bullpen buddies, Tyler Crawford and Stephen Manthei.
Something tells me this UA baseball team will go as far as they can take them.

Tucsonan Abdirahman wins his last race before Olympics
Tucsonan Abdi Abdirahman won the U.S. Half Marathon Championship Saturday in Duluth, Minn., running 13 miles in 1 hour 2 minutes 46 seconds. He earned $12,000 for his victory, his last competitive event before he arrives in London for the Olympics in August. Tucsonan Ian Burrell was third in the half-marathon and earned $5,000. … The U.S. Olympic track and field trials begin Thursday in Eugene, Ore., and among the early competitors, beginning Friday, is two-time Arizona NCAA decathlon champion Jake Arnold. The decathlon field is loaded with notable favorites Ashton Eaton, Bryan Clay and Trey Hardee, but at 28, Arnold should be at his career best. He finished No. 4 overall at the 2008 Olympic trials (three make the USA Olympic team). Arnold is coached by Arizona's Sheldon Blockburger and moved his training base to Azusa Pacific University this spring. … Strangely, Track and Field News does not rank Arnold among the 10 leading contenders. The magazine ranks UA junior high jumper Brigetta Barrett No. 2 entering the Olympic trials and UA hurdler Georganne Moline No. 10 overall at 400 hurdles. … Nicole Penkalski Sayers, who coached the Catalina Foothills boys and girls teams to 12 consecutive state swimming championships from 2000 to 2005, is now a vice president of Bank of the West in Sacramento, Calif. She left Tucson and Hillenbrand Aquatic Center coaching jobs to follow her husband Mike Sayers' pro cycling career. And it has paid off. Mike Sayers last week was named to the coaching staff for the London Olympics by USA Cycling.
Barnes caddies at Open, hoping for UA golf job
While he awaits Greg Byrne's selection of a new UA men's golf coach, ex-Wildcat Andy Barnes is at the U.S. Open as a caddie for K.T. Kim. Barnes is no stranger to big golf events: He played in the 1999 U.S. Open and has caddied for his brother, former UA All-American Ricky Barnes, at both the Masters and U.S. Open. Andy has been the assistant men's golf coach at Arizona since 2008 and hopes to replace Rick LaRose at the top. … Pueblo High grad Michael Perez will transfer to Nevada and be eligible to play in the 2013-14 season as a junior. It's a good choice for the former UTEP shooting guard. By his fifth season of college basketball, in 2015-16, he is apt to develop into a pro-level player with the opportunity to make a lot of money in Europe. … Flowing Wells grad Chris Ayer is averaging 19.1 points and 12.4 rebounds for the Los Angeles Lightning of the Independent Basketball Association. The Loyola Marymount product will lead his team into the IBA playoffs that start next weekend in Gary, Ind. … After winning the region men's soccer championship and finishing fifth in the NJCAA in 2012, Dave Cosgrove's Pima College men's soccer team attracted four scholarship offers for 2012-13. Mountain View grad Nick Peppe will play for Division I Wright State; Sahuaro grad Daniel Bacon signed with D-I South Carolina Upstate; defensive star Eric Glad has chosen to sign with D-II Midwestern State; and Tucson High midfielder Chris Marrone will play for D-II Eastern New Mexico. … After Tucson High grad Tom Wilhelmsen became the Seattle Mariners closer last month, he told Seattle reporters that his killer curveball, his out pitch, was taught to him as a kid by Tucsonan Brent Strom, who has worked with hundreds of young Tucson pitchers. Strom, who is now the St. Louis Cardinals minor-league pitching instructor, also operates the Strom Baseball Institute in Tucson in the off-season.
Miller's contract raises financial stakes in Pac-12
Sean Miller's contract extension, through 2016-17, worth as much as $2.6 million a year, plus incentives, shoots far past ASU's Herb Sendek, who signed an extension through 2015-16 recently worth $1.2 million a year. Washington's Lorenzo Romar probably enjoyed reading about Miller's contract. Romar's deal, through 2020, at $1.7 million annually, can be adjusted every two years to reflect the market. Miller's contract raises the financial stakes in Pac-12 hoops. … New ASU football coach Todd Graham beat Arizona's Rich Rodriguez in the first notable in-state recruiting battle last week, landing Lakeside Blue Ridge linebacker Chans Cox. A year from now, the state's top prospect is likely to be incoming Salpointe Catholic junior receiver Cameron Denson. … UA baseball coach Andy Lopez initially recruited and signed Gilbert High School third baseman D.J. Peterson, who is now a sophomore at New Mexico. Peterson detoured to the Lobos when Seth Mejias-Brean became an impact third baseman at Arizona, but Peterson is also one of the nation's top third basemen. At UNM this year, Peterson hit .419 with 17 homers and was named a first-team All-American last week by the Collegiate Baseball Writers. … Incoming CDO sophomore golfer Chris Meyers won his fourth JGAA championship of the summer last week, winning the Willie Low Invitational at the Phoenix Country Club by shooting 70. His mother, Susie Bedoy Meyers, spent the week at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, walking the U.S. Open course with another of her pupils, first-round U.S. Open leader Michael Thompson. … Lance and Kelly Fowler's 18U Desert Thunder softball program, the best of its kind in Arizona over the last decade, has once again qualified for the ASA Gold Nationals next month in Oklahoma City. The Fowlers' team includes nine Division I college-bound freshmen and incoming Tucson seniors Emily Griffin of Salpointe, Taylor Lawson of Sahuaro, Adrian Rosthenhausler of Sunnyside, and Class of 2014 juniors Sammy Nettling of CDO, Gina Snyder of Sahuaro and Becca Ziegler of CDO.
My two cents
Run-down Forty Niner Country Club receives second chance
Since it opened more than 50 years ago, Forty Niner Country Club has played host to the PGA Tour (1963 and 1964) - it is the only Tucson course that Jack Nicklaus played competitively - and has been one of the top golf properties in Southern Arizona, a wooded oasis on the far east side.
But it fell into disrepair under ownership of the IRI Group and for the last few years has at times been nearly unplayable, dry and brown. Many members scattered, and the long drive out Tanque Verde was rarely worth the time or cost to play the old course.
It was on the brink of closing.
Finally, last week, club member Ron McKenzie bought the facility from IRI and pledged that his first order of business was (this is not funny) to turn the water back on and start growing grass in the fairways again.
McKenzie, who founded and operated a billion-dollar mining and construction company in Colorado in the 1970s, sent an email to club members saying, in part, "the club has virtually no equipment that works," and "we will not be able to fix everything overnight, since it took years for the club to get this run down." He estimated that Forty Niner lost more than $200,000 annually in recent years.
The golf industry in Southern Arizona continues to swoon; Tucson City Golf actually raised the rates, a baffling marketing approach, to combat a lack of play and a staggering budget deficit. Dozens of other courses, in Tucson and Green Valley, are barely profitable.
But I've always thought Forty-Niner was a special place, shady and tree-lined, a parkland-style course that could hold its own in the market place. Now, under McKenzie's ownership, it will get an unexpected second chance.

'Real Housewives of Miami' Recap: Everybody Hates Dr. Karent Sierra
Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven't watched Thursday's episode, "Eager Beaver".
When the sophomore season of RHOM began, it seemed Karent and Adriana De Moura were tighter than pantyhose on a Las Vegas showgirl. The friendship, however, unraveled all due to Karent's apparent lack of social grace.
Meanwhile, the women, minus Joanna, were appalled by Karent, laughing it up with a wealthy mutual friend, known for his wild parties. The girls just didn't understand why she must be the center of attention. Don't they all need to be the center of attention on this show? Even still, Adriana took it upon herself to straighten Karent out.
Later, Adriana and Lea met up with Joanna to help out with food tasting for her upcoming gala. Of course, the subject of Karent's Twitter faux pas came up. Adriana ripped Joanna a new one for claiming she was hurt over the "stolen moment."
Buzz Moments
OMG!: Lea joking that Marysol's husband got his green card and left the US once they separated. Lea, she just opened up to you about how hard it was to move on from him. Inappropriate much?
Thank you, TV gods.: Mama Elsa is back and knows how to cut a mean rug on the dance floor!
Awk-ward: Karent and Rudolfo's lizzard-like tounge kiss. Eww…
Hotness: Romain Zago and Rudolfo. Those two sure know how to work a tux.
Fab-u-lous.: Mama Elsa and Lea's jewels. WOW!
Can. Not. Wait.: Karent and Adriana's showdown. It looks spicy.
Celebuzz Meter (1-10): 7
Are the housewives being too hard on Karent? Sound off below!

The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach Byron Scott today, just as he finished another disappointing season in Cleveland.
During his three-year stint as the coach of the Cavaliers, Scott complied a record of just 64-166, a winning percentage of .276 – the lowest in team history.
There have been rumors about Scott's future with the team as the season came to a close. Cleveland only had one winning month while he was the man in charge, this past February, and that was only with a record of 7-5.
Before the season, Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert said he would need to see improvement from this team in order for Scott to remain in charge. To be fair to Scott, the Cavaliers have improved on their win total in each of his three seasons – 19 in 2010-11, 21 in 2011-12, and 24 this season – but it was evidently not the improvement the owner was looking for.
Cleveland has been especially disappointing as of late, dropping their last six games to end the season and 15 of their last 17. The team had been eliminated from the NBA Playoffs for some time, but there was questions about whether Scott was getting the best out of his players recently.
One of the main issues under Scott, where Gilbert hoped to see improvement on this season, was the defensive side of the ball. The Cavaliers finished last in the league in opponent's field goal percentage at 47%. The previous two years under Scott, Cleveland was right around that mark, finishing at .475 and .467 respectively.
There was also concern about how the players were responding to Scott. There have been anonymous complaints about how practices are run and how the coach deals with his players. Star Kyrie Irving admitted to be disinterested after a loss earlier this season and recently did not rush to give Scott his endorsement for the future. While Irving did come back and say he "absolutely" wanted Scott to return, the hesitation may speak more than the spoken word.
Irving also said he was tired of the losing and that was affecting his play. This is something that most young players have to deal with when they are drafted in the lottery, as the teams they go to usually take time to rebuild. That may not be a coaching problem, but something to keep an eye on with Kyrie.
While the poor record and displays are certainly enough to fire Scott, the question of whether he was given enough time has to be brought up.
Scott took the job in Cleveland believing he would be the coach of the LeBron James Cavaliers, yet James left for Miami just days after Scott was appointed. While this is something he must work with, it is harsh to ask him to turn a team around so quickly that just lost the best player in the league and had to rebuild from nothing.
Cleveland is one of the youngest teams in the league and, for most of the season, started players in their rookie year or first full NBA campaign (due to the lockout shortened season last year). The Cavaliers had four players in the Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star Weekend, meaning the talent is there, but still must be developed into stars or solid NBA players.
Gilbert has proven he is not a patient man and sometimes acts rashly. He rushed to put aging stars around James in order to keep him, and when he chose to take his talents elsewhere, Gilbert made the ridiculous statement that Cleveland would win a title before LeBron did. Now he has pulled the trigger on this firing, which, while not a quick decision, really did not allow Scott to coach through the rebuilding process as was said.
While the Cavaliers have been dreadful this season, becoming the first team in 15 years to drop four games when leading by 20 points or more, these were all to good teams. There were signs that things were heading in the right direction, as Irving, Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson, and Tyler Zeller showed at least flashes throughout the season.
With that said, this team will now move in another direction, and the question becomes who will be the next man to take charge. There are many option out there. Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Malone, Miami Heat assistant David Fizdale, and former Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy are all coaches that will likely be considered.
The name Phil Jackson will also be thrown into the mix most likely, but that is an unrealistic target and not someone who fits what the Cavaliers have.

Paris (AFP) Jan 09, 2013
French President Francois Hollande will head to the United Arab Emirates next week where he will push the Gulf state to buy Rafale fighter jets, a French diplomatic source said Wednesday.
France is keen to make its first foreign sale of the Rafale, which has struggled to find buyers to support a project that has cost tens of billions of euros.
The source said no contract would be signed during Hollande's visit next Tuesday but that the potential sale was being discussed.
"The file is still on the table, it is obviously of great interest for French industry, it is being followed closely. It has chances of succeeding," the source said.
"I don't know if we should be optimistic or pessimistic. At one point we did have hopes that were disappointed," the source said.
After years of negotiating a purchase from the French aerospace firm Dassault, the UAE in late 2011 asked for a counter-offer from the Eurofighter consortium -- made up of Britain's BAE Systems, Italy's Finmeccanica and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS).
France is hoping the UAE will buy about 60 fighters in a boost to the struggling Rafale programme.
Qatar and Kuwait have indicated they are interested in Rafales but are waiting to see if the UAE will buy them first.
Dassault, whose new chief executive Eric Trappier took office on Wednesday, is in talks to finalise the sale of 126 Rafale fighters to India and has also made an offer to Brazil, which needs 36 planes.

Chicken as a meat has been depicted in Babylonian carvings from around 600 BC. Chicken was one of the most common meats available in the Middle Ages. It was eaten over most of the Eastern hemisphere and a number of different kinds of chicken such as capons, pullets and hens were eaten. It was one of the basic ingredients in the so-called white dish, a stew usually consisting of chicken and fried onions cooked in milk and seasoned with spices and sugar.
Chicken fry
Chicken consumption in the United States increased during World War II due to a shortage of beef and pork. In Europe, consumption of chicken overtook that of beef and veal in 1996, linked to consumer awareness of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease).

The purpose of a Dashboard is to provide a single place to view a high-level summary of information relevant to a specific role. The user can then drill down to whatever level of detail is necessary. For example, a Manager's Dashboard could include self service actions regarding individual employees or an entire department.

The following descriptions attempt to clarify the differences between a Dashboard and a WorkCenter:


text:
[RELEVANT MAGAZINE]: I think were in a place now where a lot of the modern Church is in rebellion against the old traditions and doctrine and theology, in favor of experience and signs and wonders. A lot of young Christians dont want to talk about things like doctrine and theology because that sounds stale and boring to them.
[DALLAS WILLARD]: This is very unfortunate because, in fact, they are operating on a theology. When you take that move you take your theology and youre unwilling to think about it. A theology is what enforces the attitude that they have towards theology. They mis-identified what theology is and dont recognize its role in their own lives. Its really tragic. Its part of the problem of looking at the traditional church and seeing that it identifies theology with something you do in seminary, and then you come out of seminary and you lead irrelevant churches. So, if thats theology, then we dont need it. Problem is, that is not theology. Theology is just what you really think about God, and if youre going to do that, youd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by. If you dont do that then you become the victim of your feelings and you identify the old version of Christianity and you walk off with a big Yuck. But you walk off with a set of beliefs about God that are actually going to guide your life and sometimes thats disastrous! Even if you do reject something that is wrong, that doesnt mean that you accepted what was right.
[RM]: Exactly. You havent gone to the Word yourself to base your belief upon.
[DW]: What you need to do is to become a Word worm. You study and you think and you find people who are profitable to read, but the most important thing is to come to terms with the words of the Scripture and to learn to live by them, and you cant do that without theology.
[RM]: There appears to be two camps of thought. One is the idea that just knowing the Word is all thats necessary. You read and study and regurgitate it, but you never actually do anything it tells you to do. The other camp says you should just jump out and do all the stuff that the Word tells you to do, but without actually consulting the Word to make sure youre doing it the right way.
[DW]: Yes, and often, unfortunately, theyre not. The most common thing for that latter group of people youre talking about is that they dont have a Gospel. They should have the Gospel that Jesus had, which is the presence and the availability of the Kingdom right here and now, through faith in Him. But they dont have that and Ive watched group after group and individual after individual just run out of steam. When theyre gone, the people who pick up after them in their place have just lost everything and they are all wandering in a version of a very benign and pleasing Humanism.
[RM]: And theres not much difference between that kind of Christianity and anything else the World has to offer.
[DW]: Actually, there isnt. All you can say for it is that its idealism is high, usually. But so far as being actually able to pull it off, since theyre not operating in the power of the Kingdom, its much less.
[RM]: Todd Hunter had a great quote that I think he might have borrowed from you, where he said that the problem with the modern church is that theyve misunderstood the Gospel of Jesus. He said that the Gospel is not that Jesus died on the cross for your sins so you can go to heaven when you die, but that the Gospel that Jesus preached was the Gospel of the Kingdom. When you say this to people they look at you like youre insane. Of course the Gospel is that you can go to heaven when you die, they say. But the Gospel isnt a one-time event, its a daily participation with Christ in the Kingdom life.
[DW]: Thats right. The Grace of God empowers you to do what you cant do on your own. Grace is unmerited favor, but to say that doesnt tell you what form it takes. The assumption today is that it takes the form of a credit transfer in the books of heaven. Ive heard preachers say that theres absolutely nothing else that happens. So, in other words, your life on Earth is totally untouched by Grace.
[RM]: Well, they are correct in the sense that, if you live life the way theyre living then this is all that happens with Grace.
[DW]: (laughs) Excellent point. Thats what we actually see.
[RM]: Thats as much Grace as theyve availed themselves of because their obedience to Christ has ended at the point of saying that prayer for salvation.
[DW]: Right
[RM]: I think you quoted Tozer a while back in another interview where he suggested that a new heretical thought had entered the modern Christian thought. The idea that people come to Jesus and say, I want some of your blood for the forgiveness of my sins, but I dont have any intention of following you or obeying you, and now if youll excuse me Id like to get on with my life.
[DW]: Those are what I call Vampire Christians. Tozer actually does say that this is outright heresy. He was very clear about this and the dear man was such a Christ-like man that he could do this and get away with it. But, on the other hand, youll have people who will hear this and say, Isnt that pretty? and theyll do absolutely nothing about it.
[RM]: Unfortunately that seems to be a possibility with those who call themselves Christians.
[DW]: It has to come through deep work, I think, the kind of work that youre doing, is perhaps among the most important things to be doing now because you will reach people who are ready to see it. Perhaps theyve already seen it but didnt know what it was and theyre ready to change. What has to happen here is a kind of tidal wave has to develop, and when it does, then people will pay attention and theyll realize that this really is something different. Some will be mad and theyll fight, but others will jump up and down for joy and join you. See, thats what happens if you look at Finney or Wesley with them. Tozer is different, and its an interesting thing to study, he didnt start a tidal wave, but he laid out some books that have nourished the souls of multitudes. It didnt have an effect of making the churches say, We must change. You did see that in Finney and Wesley and there was a great battle and a great effect.
[RM]: Do you feel like were due for another tidal wave like this?
[DW]: Yes, its very interesting that now churches and para-church organizations are beginning to say, We must change. This could be the beginning of the wave. I think probably it would be better if it wasnt focused on just one or two individuals, but it may be that one or two people will arise. But, in the last five years Ive seen large churches, some of whom had been very prosperous as mega-churches, say, This is all wrong. We must do discipleship. That kind of repentance is what is needed to start the tidal wave.

(Mitch Wertlieb) Peace Rallies were held across the country this weekend, including one in Montpelier. The biggest rallies were held in Washington D.C., protesting U.S. policy in Iraq. Two busloads of Vermonters took the trip to the nation's capitol to take part, and Joanne Post of Peacham was there.

A group of unemployed young Dacorum residents have landed themselves year-long apprenticeships at the borough council.
The 15 apprentices will receive a mixture of on-the-job training and the opportunity to work towards nationally recognised qualifications, a Dacorum Borough Council spokesman has said.
Rose Campbell, whose apprenticeship is in the regeneration team, said, "At the end of this I will gain a nationally recognised qualification and experience of working full time in a professional organisation.
"I'm now a working mum gaining further education."
Mark Holliday, who will be working in the housing service, said: "The experience of this apprenticeship and gaining work experience with the council will mean that after my work placement concludes, I can pursue a career rather than just a job."
The council has worked with Job Centre Plus and West Herts College to recruit registered unemployed young people on 12 month fixed term contracts.
In addition to those taking up positions at the authority, one apprentice is based at the business advice line and a further three are hosted by local voluntary organisations.

I had actually wanted to go to the cemetery at Clusium, to see some inscriptions!
They beckon and call to the soul of Lars Porsena of Clusium.
An innumerable host of Gauls now marched from Clusium toward Rome.
I put the piece of bandage onto Lars Porsena of Clusium where his tail-feathers did come out.
He has longs for Lars Porsena of Clusium to come perch on his back.
When the bandage was all off him, Lars Porsena of Clusium did give himself a stretch and his wings a little shake.

The Sisters of Mercy: Some Kind of Stranger
tylus Magazine's Seconds column examines those magic moments that arise when listening to a piece of music that strikes that special chord inside. That pounding drum intro; a clanging guitar built-up to an anthemic chorus; that strange glitchy noise you've never quite been able to figure out; that first kiss or heartbreak; a well-turned rhyme that reminds you of something in your own past so much, it seems like it was written for you—all of those little things that make people love music. Every music lover has a collection of these Seconds in his or her head; these are some of ours.
"Because the world is cruel / And promises are broken / Don't try to tell me anything / Don't try to tell me you'll be true to me / You know the real truth is never spoken."
You're not gonna win any fights with "Some Kind of Stranger." It's not a song to convert someone to the black-clad army with, or something to share with normals to let them know that these crazy Goth bands are essentially harmless. It's an epic, tortured ballad that arrives at the tail end of an album of amphetamine nightmares, songs to pack a shotgun in the trunk and ride out into the wild wind to, the finale to the soundtrack to fucking shit up and looking impeccably dark and mysterious whilst doing so. And it's a Goth slow jam. The song you put on when you bring home a eyeliner-sheathed conquest from the Batcave and make the beast with two heathen backs.
If "Temple of Love" is the Sisters raising their fists against the mythologizing of romance, Eldritch's log of a night of disenchanted lust, foolish abandon, and riding the weather, then "Some Kind of Stranger" is the morning after. Longing, emptiness, the secret wish for everything so callously rejected and discarded to be actually, honest-to-God true. There's a real sense of urgency, emotions laid bare, that the Sisters would only ever dance around again. For fuck's sake, it's a bloody love song. "Come here I think you're beautiful / My door is open wide"—but don't go running to play it for the Moms: that line follows hot on the heels of this one—"and I don't care what you're called / Tell me later if at all / I can wait a long, long time / Before I hear another love song." But, wait, you say—I just said "Some Kind of Stranger" was a love song. And so it is. But like "Heartland," their ode to the long white line, "Some Kind of Stranger" is a love song in form and in form alone.
For at the bottom of its black-scraped heart, it's a testament to the glory of casual sex. Think about the last word of the title. Oh, but it's not facile. It's utterly profound: "All I know for real / Is knowing doesn't mean so much / When placed against the feeling / The heat inside / When bodies meet / When fingers touch." Describing the logic of the body not as a meaningless end to itself, but as a direct countering of the logic of the mind—"all of my words are secondhand and useless in the face of this / Rationale, rhyme, and reason pale beside a single kiss." Too true.
"I'd settle anytime for unknown footsteps in the hall outside," sez Andrew. And so would many of us. Oh, come on. Don't pretend. Whether this is reconciliation in the face of a night of pointless fucking or a glorification of unadorned physicality, we've all been there. The fact that these words are steeped in the heaviest, most turgid atmospherics of the Sisters middle-era only hammers them home that much harder. The end of the song employs the same repetition they'd discovered with "Heartland," but instead of a paean to crystal meth, we're given an almost tender ode to meaningless orgasms. And instead of sheer hammering, Gary Marx employs Pink Floyd psychedelics by way of Suicide minimalism to craft walls of distorted guitar wattage that linger long after the track ends, echoing out over stirring keyboard stabs. Kinda like that wild, sweet, drunken night you had last week, eh compadre?
Ultimately, knowing doesn't mean so much.

A 911 caller witnessing the mass shooting outside a grocery store in Tucson describes a frantic scene and says, "I do believe Gabby Giffords was hit."
In a tape of the call released Sunday by the Pima County Sheriff's Department, a person putting up a display for a pill bottling company was among the first to report the crime.
The caller says: "It's Giffords! There was a shooting at Safeway at Ina and Oracle where Gabrielle Giffords was. I do believe Gabby Giffords was hit. A guy had a semiautomatic pistol. He went in and just started firing and he ran."
The caller described the shooter as wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and a black sweater.
The call was one of nearly 20 to dispatchers.
Another caller describes ducking down inside the Walgreens in the shopping center after hearing gunfire and witnessing the shooter being subdued.
"I see the man that was caught shooting was held down by some other . . . people. They took away his gun, and they're holding him down so he can't do anything else."
One panicked caller from the Walgreens asks a dispatcher to hurry and send more than one ambulance. "We need more than one ambulance; there's more than one victim down. A guy came to the Safeway and started shooting. We have about a total of 10 people, maybe more."
