Catered parties, top-name entertainment, loft-style offices in old warehouses, venture capitalists always underfoot: Which dot-com am I talking about?
None of them. This is the wireless business -- today. Companies with new ways to let you communicate without cables are starting up, not shutting down. Some of them are doing it in a style that's vaguely familiar.
Take Trapeze Networks, for example. The wireless startup, based in Pleasanton, California, not far from Silicon Valley, last month treated a few dozen IT journalists and industry analysts to a Cirque du Soleil show and adjoining tent party in San Jose, California. The invitations arrived in a whimsical little wooden box that also contained a stylish chrome Trapeze keychain. The party in a private tent next to the big top was no budget affair either, with an ample supply of wine and other drinks as well as fine hors d'oeuvres and desserts. Circus performers put on little shows as the guests warmed up for the main event.
Trapeze hasn't said much about what it's going to sell, apart from being in enterprise wireless LANs, but it's probably safe to say it'll be something actual people want. (And can identify, which was not always a given in the dot-com era.) Consumers and corporations are voting with their pocketbooks to cut their umbilical cords to the phone network, the office LAN and the home broadband connection.
The show's theme seemed tailor-made for Trapeze's marketing purposes and summed up the appeal of wireless. The title, "Varekai," means "wherever" in the Romany language, according to the official show program. The key is being able to go where you want to go while you communicate and use the Web and other applications. There are more ways to do that all the time, including GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), faster WCDMA (Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access), a slew of other fast cellular systems based on CDMA, and wireless LANs.
Service providers haven't shied away from the limelight either. Wireless provider T-Mobile USA Inc. took over historic Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay last October for an outdoor rock extravaganza celebrating the rollout of its new brand. About 500 regular folks chosen through radio competitions and T-Mobile promotions joined reporters and analysts who were ferried out the former prison site to watch performances by Creed and the Wallflowers, headed up by Bob Dylan's son Jakob.
It was dark and cold and the San Francisco fog felt like rain at one point, but free booze and finger food kept the crowd in high spirits throughout the evening. The event was part sponsored by VH-1, which televised the concert, the first of its kind to be held on Alcatraz, according to T-Mobile.
The event paid off for T-Mobile, according to spokesman Brian Zidar, who said the carrier added about 1 million new subscribers in the fourth quarter of last year.
The overall gloom in the tech industry here in Northern California, where software developers now stand next to freeway entrances and hand out resumes, may be helping the wireless upstarts make a name for themselves.
"When you're the only light in the darkness, you'll shine brighter, and if you turn up the wattage a little you'll just shine that much brighter," said George Prodan, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Trapeze.
The glow cast by Trapeze and other wireless startups draws a breed that hasn't been heard from so much in the past couple of years: the Silicon Valley venture capitalists.
Trapeze, which was launched last March, pulled down about US$16 million in its first round of financing in April, some of it provided by the company's founders. Accel Partners was the biggest investor, according to Peter Wagner, a board member at the Palo Alto, California, firm.
"It's nice to see a market that's really growing and especially one that can make a lot of difference," Wagner said.
The dark dot-com days of 2001 actually were the heyday of venture investment in wireless, according to the PricewaterhouseCoopers/Venture Economics/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree Survey. That year venture capitalists closed 206 wireless-related deals totalling just over $2 billion, said Steve Bengston, managing director of emerging company services at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, in Menlo Park, California. However, in 2002 they put another $1 billion into wireless, in 131 deals, he said. And today we may be seeing some of those earlier investments come to fruition in the form of companies now going public with their plans.
Will this party end the way the last one did? Bengston thinks it may.
"Clearly, there will be a few firms emerging that will be big winners .... but a big chunk of them are going to go under," he said. There are three main dangers, he explained. They may be selling something no one really wants, or face too much competition, or fall victim to cautious spending by potential customers. "We are in the middle of a recession," Bengston pointed out.
It sure didn't feel like one a few months ago at an open house for Vivato Inc., a startup that says its technology can extend the range of standard IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs from a few hundred feet to seven kilometers (4.3 miles). In the company's offices in the formerly booming South of Market section of San Francisco, waiters carrying grilled shrimp and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears wafted past fancy swivel chairs and a well-stocked bar. Even the decor had that certain style, with exposed beams and ventilation pipes.
Where did all that come from? The former tenant, someone said: An old dot-com.

Lady Flames to Meet Unbeaten James Madison
Live Video (Via the Big South EDGE)
Live WWMC Radio Broadcast
Live Stats
Game Day Central
The Game
The Liberty Lady Flames (6-1, 0-0 Big South) will attempt to continue their best start in 10 years with a matchup against unbeaten in-state rival James Madison (6-0, 0-0 CAA), Tuesday evening at the Vines Center. Liberty will look for its first-ever win over the Dukes and its fifth-consecutive triumph overall. The contest will be JMU's first trip to the Vines Center.
The Last Time Out
Liberty scored early and often during Friday's home opener against Division II Virginia Union. When all was said and done, the Lady Flames came out on top, 100-29, reaching triple digits for the first time since Dec. 13, 1997. Liberty shot a team and Vines Center-record 64.6 percent from the field and sank 11 three-pointers. Moriah Frazee shot 8-for-8 from the floor, on her way to a game-high 18 points.
Scouting James Madison
James Madison returns only one starter, 6-2 senior guard Tamera Young, from last year's squad, which went 27-6 and played in the NCAA Tournament. However, the Dukes have started the 2007-08 season with six-consecutive wins. The team's biggest win so far has been an 80-55 blowout victory over George Washington, ranked No. 14 nationally at the time.
Young has started her senior year well, averaging 19.3 ppg and 9.7 rpg. Freshman Dawn Evans has made an immediate impact, as the 5-7 guard is contributing 15.0 ppg, 4.5 apg and shooting 46.2 percent from beyond the three-point arc.
The Dukes have been winning comfortably, with an 11-point triumph over Wake Forest marking the team's narrowest margin of victory. JMU has also been controlling the boards and is averaging over 25 offensive caroms per game.
The Coaching Matchup
Liberty Head Coach Carey Green is in his ninth season with the Lady Flames. He owns a 191-65 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South women's basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.746) ranked 12th among active NCAA Division I women's basketball coaches at the beginning of the season.
Kenny Brooks, who picked up his 100th career win on Nov. 13 at Bucknell, is 104-52 in his sixth season at James Madison. He has led the Dukes to consecutive 20-win seasons and garnered the 2006-07 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Coach of the Year award.
Liberty vs. James Madison All-Time Series
James Madison leads series, 3-0
Last Meeting
Liberty entered the JMU Convocation Center with a 5-0 record on Nov. 29, 2006, but left as the Dukes' 15th-straight victim on their home court. James Madison, leading by a single point at the half (31-30), broke the game open in the final minutes and recorded a 74-64 decision.
Senior center Meredith Alexis (28 points, 11 rebounds) and junior guard Tamera Young (16 points, 10 rebounds) both put together double-doubles for James Madison. Senior Michelle Parker came off the Liberty bench for 13 points and five caroms, while sophomore Megan Frazee chipped in with 12 points and six boards.
Liberty Versus the CAA
Liberty is 21-55 all-time versus current members of the CAA. The Lady Flames are 0-1 versus Delaware, 0-2 versus Drexel, 1-11 versus George Mason, 0-3 versus James Madison, 0-1 versus Old Dominion, 4-5 versus Towson, 9-21 versus VCU and 7-11 versus William & Mary.
Last season, the Lady Flames split their two meetings against CAA opponents, winning 61-56 at George Mason on Nov. 14 and falling by a 74-64 count at James Madison, 15 days later.
In 2007-08, Liberty will meet the same two teams, as both visit the Vines Center. The Lady Flames tangle with JMU tonight and will square off with George Mason on Jan. 15.
Triple Digits Inside the Furnace
Liberty's 100-29 victory over Virginia Union on Friday marked the Lady Flames' first 100-point game since a 103-61 triumph over Cedarville, Dec. 13, 1997 at the Vines Center. It was the Lady Flames' first 100-point output since Carey Green took over as head coach, prior to the 1999-200 season. In fact, Green's Liberty teams, which have been built around rebounding and defense, have only gone over the 90-point plateau seven times in his nine seasons.
Record in December
Liberty is 69-97 all-time in December contests, while Carey Green is 25-28 during the year's final month. Last season, the Lady Flames were only able to win one of seven December outings.
In 2007-08, Liberty is scheduled to play six contests in December. The month's first three games will be played at the Vines Center, while the Lady Flames will return to the road for the final three tilts.
Liberty in the NCAA Rankings
Liberty is ranked in the top 25 nationally in five statistical categories. The Lady Flames are sixth in field goal percentage defense (.311), eighth in three-point field goal percentage (.409), 14th in scoring margin (+20.3), 16th in rebounding margin (+11.0) and 24th in field goal percentage (.464).
Competing with the Commonwealth
Liberty is slated to play seven teams from the Commonwealth of Virginia during the 2007-08 season. The Lady Flames are 1-1 versus in-state foes so far, defeating Virginia Union (Nov. 30) and losing at Virginia Tech (Nov. 19). Tonight, Liberty will square off with its third Virginia opponent, James Madison.
Later in the season, Liberty will meet Richmond (Jan. 5), George Mason (Jan. 15) and Radford twice (Feb. 6 and March 7). A year ago, the Lady Flames were victorious in six of 10 games against Commonwealth opposition.
Tracking a Pair of Milestones
Through 52 career games, Megan Frazee has tossed in 914 points, for an average of 17.6 points per contest. If she continues at her current scoring rate, Frazee is in line to become Liberty's 11th all-time 1,000-point scorer during the Lady Flames' second game of the Lady Rebel Christmas Classic in Las Vegas, on Dec. 21. She is currently 11th on the school's all-time scoring list.
Frazee is also nearing 500 rebounds. She has pulled down 466 boards in her career, good for an average of 9.0 rpg. Frazee is on pace to collect her 500th board on Dec. 20, against Ball State in the opening game of the Lady Rebel Christmas Classic. She would become the 19th member of Liberty's 500-rebound club and the sixth Lady Flame ever to post 1,000 points and 500 caroms in her career.
Miss Consistency
Junior Megan Frazee has scored in double figures in each of her last 19 games, dating back to the 2006-07 season. This is the longest such streak of her career and the longest by a Liberty player since Katie Feenstra scored 10 or more points in the first 26 games of the 2003-04 campaign.
Frazee has only scored nine or fewer points on four occasions at Liberty, and the Ohioan has never done so in consecutive outings.
Miss Consistency, Part 2
Senior Courtney Watkins is giving her team regular scoring punch from the backcourt this season. She is third on the team with 10.4 ppg and has posted five double-digit scoring efforts in seven games. It has truly been a breakthrough season for Watkins, who had scored 10 or more points only 10 times in 95 career outings, prior to this season.
Watkins has also been efficient with her shooting opportunities this season. She is currently posting career-high marks for both field goal percentage (.538) and three-point field goal percentage (.526).
Rewriting the Record Book
Liberty set or tied a number of records during its 100-29 victory over Virginia Union on Friday. Here is a look at some of the most notable accomplishments from the contest:
-- The Lady Flames' field goal percentage (.646, 42-65) set new team and Vines Center single-game records.
-- Liberty's 11 three-pointers equaled the most the Lady Flames have ever made in a game at the Vines Center.
-- Liberty's 33 assists set a program NCAA Division I record.
-- Moriah Frazee went 8-for-8 from the field to establish a new Vines Center record for single-game field goal percentage.
-- Liberty's 100 points marked the eighth time in program history the Lady Flames have scored in triple digits.
Starting Quickly
The Lady Flames' 6-1 start is their best since the 1997-98 squad won its first 28 games of the year. Below is a list of Liberty's all-time best openings to a season.
1997-98: 28-0 (Final Record: 28-1)
1996-97: 8-1 (Final Record: 22-8)
1983-84: 7-1 (Final Record: 13-11)
1975-76: 7-1 (Final Record: 7-1)
2007-08: 6-1 (Final Record: ??)

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak has asked for patience in trying to get the team back on the right track.
A day after a 55-7 pounding in Green Bay, after which owner Bud Adams said the Titans cannot "keep games like like we lost today," Munchak said he would sit down with Adams after the season finale to present his plan to repairing all things Titans.
"I think for me I tell him exactly what my plan is, what my thinking is, and then how we're gonna get past 6-10 and on to next year, what the plan is, who we're gonna do it with and what changes we have to make," Munchak said. "Here is my plan, and he gets to make that decision of if he likes that plan or if he wants a different plan. I think that's just generally how it would work in any business."
Munchak inherited a roster in disarray when he took over in 2011, but the Titans played better than expected last year in going 9-7. This year, with a new quarterback in Jake Locker and all the injuries, the team has struggled to a 5-10 mark.
"You can't lose perspective that sometimes it takes longer to build something than just one season or a season and a half. We've had one off-season here since I've been head coach," Munchak said. "So we haven't had a lot of time with the players. We have a short period of time here to fix it, but I feel very confident that we will."
Munchak knows that both offense and defense are in need of repair, but he thinks there are some pieces in place to work with.
"I don't feel good about our record. I don't feel good about where we're at, but I feel good about a lot of pieces to the puzzle that we do have," he said. "I feel good about a lot of things that I feel can get fixed real quickly as far as getting better and I'll talk to Mr. Adams about that and (general manager) Ruston (Webster) and everybody else.
"It's hard to sit here and say you feel good when you've won five games and you're not happy with where you're at right now. But I've been a part of teams that won three games, won four games and we built something. It's not gonna happen in one year. I know everybody wants a championship every year, but that's just not how this business is."
Munchak knows, though, that he is charged with fixing things on his watch, especially after Adams said he would be "very unhappy" if the Titans show the same type of performance next year.
"We're 5-10, and that's concerning. There were teams in the Super Bowl last year that had the lowest-rated defense or the worst rushing attack in the league, but they still got it done because one phase was picking up for the other," Munchak said. "In our situation, that isn't helping. The offense isn't helping the defense and the defense isn't helping the offense.
"We've had too many games where if someone is having a bad day, we're all having a bad day, and that's the difference in other teams overcoming that. We're not overcoming that right now. We have to find a way to fix it because this type of record isn't good enough."

Ask Chris #55: The Justice League of Stand-Up Comedy
Here at ComicsAlliance, we value our readership and are always open to what the masses of Internet readers have to say. That's every week, Senior Writer Chris Sims puts his comics culture knowledge to the test as he responds to your reader questions!
Q: If you had to assemble a team of stand-up comedians to fight crime as the Justice League of Comedy, who would be in it and why? — @Mattchild
A: As someone who got his start as a comedy writer before I got into the downward spiral of pseudo-brainy, self-referential essays about Batman (see: every other installment of this column), it shouldn't come as a surprise that I like comics of the stand-up variety almost as much as I like the comics that have two staples and a cover. In other words, I'm a total comedy nerd, and after talking your question over with fellow comedy nerd (and my co-host on the War Rocket Ajax podcast) Matt Wilson, I think I've figured out a pretty solid team based on the Morrison/Porter-era Big Seven lineup.First up, my stand-up stand-in for Superman, Louis CK:
It might seem counterintuitive to give Superman's spot to a guy who's probably best known for some pretty pessimistic material, but as Matt said in our conversation about it, the guy's untouchable. Much in the same way that Superman's greatest role is as an inspiration to others, CK is often considered to be a "Comedian's Comedian" — and occasionally a "Comedian's Comedian's Comedian," which is just silly. He's a four-time Emmy Award nominee as a writer on The Chris Rock Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, he's constantly producing new material, and he even named his last special Hilarious and then managed to live up to that title. Heck, this is the guy who wrote Pootie Tang, the single most underrated comedy of the 2000s!
Currently, he's got a TV show, Louie, that he's writing, producing, directing and starring in with carte blanche from the network, and if that's not the best analogy in stand-up comedy to Clark Kent singlehandedly keeping the Daily Planet going for the past 70 years by reporting on his own adventures, then brother, I don't know what is.
Plus, there's a nice level of Superman-style inspiration to his work. Not only did he famously remind people that everything is amazing right now, an interview in the New York Observer revealed he decided to make TV when he was a kid because he wanted his mom to have better shows to watch:
"I remember thinking in fifth grade, 'I have to get inside that box and make this s— better,'" he said. "Because she deserves this."
Not gonna lie, folks: That makes me mist up a little like the end of All Star Superman. Granted, Superman probably wouldn't drop quite so many c-bombs, but other than that, he's a solid fit. Plus, there's the possibility that a romance would blossom and we'd end up with Lois CK, and that would be amazing.
Next up, we have our ersatz Batman: Paul F. Tompkins.
Admittedly, Tompkins is not exactly what you'd call a grim avenger of the night, but he does have those snappy '40s style suits and currently rocks a full-on mustache in the style of Batman's late father. Seriously, how he managed to not be cast as Thomas Wayne in Batman Begins, I will never be able to figure out.
What really makes him fit the role, though, is the subject matter of his bits. Not only does he have an entire extended discussion of the term "Freak Wharf" as an inexplicable slang term for a mental hospital — which has shockingly never been used to refer to Arkham Asylum — but he actually has jokes with villains that would fit right into Gotham City. Vicious dogs, people offering trick cans of "Peanut Brittle" and a withered old shut-in named Kilroy who requests meat delivered to his door in "real thin slices, real thin slices!"? That's not just a comedy album, that's the plot to one of those creepy Peter Milligan issues from the early '90s.
Plus, Batman totally prefers cake to pie. Everyone knows that.
Next up is the replacement for the Martian Manhunter, Patton Oswalt:
As far as I'm concerned, J'onn J'onzz, the Manhunter From Mars– not to be confused with his highly successful cousin, G'eoff J'onzz — is a necessary part of the Justice League. He's been a member of almost every incarnation, and as a result, as Batman put it in the pages of Justice League International, he understands the group dynamics of super-heroes better than anyone else.
Patton Oswalt, on the other hand, doesn't quite have the set of super-powers that the Martian Manhunter brings to the table — unelss you consider going from the nerdy villain in the Reno 911! movie a CGI rat to be shapeshifting — but if there's one dude in stand-up who knows a lot about super-heroes, it's him. Not just because he's a comic book fan, but because he actually wrote a JLA story called "Welcome to the Working Week" that's a) one of the very few Justice League comics to be named after an Elvis Costello song, and b) actually pretty awesome. Plus, he was the guy who put the Comedians of Comedy tour together, and if you're familiar with those guys, then you probably have a pretty good idea of who else is going to make it onto my list.
Stepping into the yellow boots of the Flash: Aziz Ansari.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Ansari is probably one of the top two comedians to ever come out of my home state of South Carolina. Like Wally West, he got his start in stand-up as a teenager, though I'm reasonably certain that electrified chemicals were not involved. I mean, it's not out of the question, but I'm pretty sure that would've come up.
Anyway, while he's probably best known these days for his role on TV's Parks & Recreation, his stand-up is really notable for just how fast he's able to build to punchlines, and especially in his earlier stuff, how he'd deliver multiple twists on the same setup before moving right into the next one and then coming back with a callback to an earlier joke. Even on Parks & Rec, his rapid-fire delivery in scenes like the one where he listed off alternate names for foods is like being punched in the face at the speed of light… with laughs.
And seriously, the world needs Raaaaaaaandy: Reeeeeeeebirth. You can have that one for free, DC Comics.
For Green Lantern, I'm gonna go with Maria Bamford.
Bamford came pretty close to being the JLC's version of Martian Manhunter, what with the sheer amount of characters she does in her act being the stand-up equivalent of shape-shifting, but Green Lantern fits better.
After all, a magic space ring that can create anything you can imagine is the one super-power that has creativity as a prerequisite, and Bamford has creativity to spare. She is, after all, a woman who did an entire one-hour homemade special without once getting up from her couch. Seriously, the more I talk about it, the more I actually want her to have a Green Lantern ring, just to see super-villains slowly backing away from an army of hard-light constructs speaking in different, over-the-top Minnesotan accents.
And you thought she was going to be Wonder Woman. Sexist.
Wonder Woman, of course, would be Eugene Mirman.
Yes, I know: Eugene Mirman is, in fact, a man. But c'mon, if he was good enough to play M.I.A. in a bit with Aziz Ansari a few years back, I'm pretty sure he could fill in for Wonder Woman. She's all about breaking down those barriers, y'all.
Besides, the core concept of her character is that she came from another land to share her people's philosophy with the world. Mirman, on the other hand, emigrated from Russia when he was four so that he could share a truly hilarious message he got from a band on MySpace on a Comedy Central special. It's basically the exact same thing.
And rounding out our super-heroes, we have Aquaman, played tonight by Zach Galifianakis.
Sweet beards.
Finally, there's one other member of the JLA from the "Big Seven" era that's unaccounted for: Oracle. And for that, the only possible choice is Tom Scharpling.
Scharpling isn't a stand-up comic, but as the host of The Best Show On WFMU — a weekly radio call-in program — he fits right as the Justice League of Comedy's version of the mysterious unseen voice working behind the scenes to coordinate their actions.
After all, Tompkins is a pretty frequent guest on the show, and a few weeks ago, Patton Oswalt actually called in to chat while he was on stage at the 40 Watt. Plus, Scharpling and frequent collaborator Jon Wurster have a gang of fans called the Friends of Tom with different specialties — a police officer, a librarian, a soap opera aficionado, a pastor, Philly Boy Roy, and so on — ready to act as their eyes and ears on the ground. In other words, they're the FOTs of Prey.
There are a few others that spring to mind — swapping Green Arrow for David Cross is probably the most obvious comic-to-comic switch of all time — but I think the ones above are the ones to go with. I've got to say, though: It's awfully difficult to think up a scenario where things would get so monumentally dire that a group of comedians would have to step up to replace the Justice League, and if it ever actually came down to that, I'm pretty sure Brainiac would have us all shrunk down to Bottle City size before breakfast. That said, they'd make a way better lineup for a rock club tour than the real Justice League, even if Batman did study for years to have perfect timing.

The Audit Division (ZIV) undertook an audit of the internal management of the Going Global Science and Technology Fund (TBR) contribution program. This audit was conducted by ZIV as part of its review of departmental Grants and Contributions. The objective of the audit was to determine the extent to which the contribution program was managed with sound comptrollership practices and complied with legislative and regulatory requirements.
The scope of the audit encompassed total TBR funding of $390,000 for fiscal year 2004/05. At the time of the audit, 18 contribution agreements had been entered into by the program. The Audit Team reviewed a sample of eight projects, with a total approved budget of $117,830, 30% of the Program's contribution funding.
The Audit Team found that the contribution program is managed with sound comptrollership practices and complies with legislative and regulatory requirements. The contribution agreements are justified under the appropriate authorities and were found to be in agreement with the requirements of the Treasury Board and departmental Transfer Payment Policies. The practices and processes in TBR ensure that program funds are managed with due diligence and that payments are made in accordance with the policies. The contribution files contained the relevant documentation and indicated that proper approvals had been obtained for the contribution payments. There are no audit recommendations.
The Audit Team also undertook a follow-up to the recommendations made in the November 2001 Going Global Audit Report and found that all recommendations made in that report had been implemented.
The TBR audit strategy, as per the Treasury Board approved Risk Based Audit Framework (RBAF), requires that in addition to the internal audit, three recipient audits be completed on an annual basis. As of the date of this internal audit report, three recipient audits had been completed for projects undertaken in the 2003/2004 fiscal year.
1.1 Treasury Board Ministers provided the Department (ITCan) with the authority to make discretionary contributions to Canadian researchers to promote Canada's International Science and Technology collaboration by identifying and establishing new international collaborative research and development (R&D) initiatives. Emphasis is given to the support of projects that build on Canada's science and technology and foreign policy priorities; facilitate the access of Canadian researchers to major international research networks; and ensure that Canadian companies can gain access to cutting edge research and technologies not available in Canada.
1.2 The "Going Global S&T" Program supports projects that are aimed at establishing coordination mechanisms/platforms for exploring international R&D collaborative opportunities with foreign partners or international programs.
1.3 Recipients eligible for funding under Going Global are non-federal government researchers who require support to explore opportunities for collaborative R&D projects. Funding is intended to support efforts towards the initiation of collaborative R&D efforts, not to support research activities themselves. Going Global will contribute up to 50% of the expenses eligible under the program, to the maximum of $50,000. Eligible expenses include travel, accommodation and other non-research expenses associated with establishment of collaborative R&D activities.
2.1.1 This audit focussed on the administrative practices, processes (systems) and controls related to the management of the contributions made under the Going Global S&T Program during the 2004/05 fiscal year. The Audit Team audited the contribution program in accordance with Treasury Board and departmental Transfer Payment Policies.
2.2.1 The overall objective was to determine the extent to which the contribution program was managed with sound comptrollership practices and complied with legislative and regulatory requirements. In particular, the audit focussed on determining whether:
2.3.1 The audit examined the major business processes and key controls associated with the management of the CAs in TBR. We conducted a comprehensive review of relevant program documentation and interviewed key TBR personnel.
2.3.2 The examination phase of the audit was conducted during December 2004. Out of a total of 18 projects underway or completed at that time, an initial sample of eight completed project files were selected accounting for $117,830, 30% of program budget.(1) Based on the positive results found in the initial sample, the sample was not expanded.
2.3.3 The Audit Team reviewed the Recipient Audit Reports that have been conducted during the 2004/2005 fiscal year for projects undertaken in 2003/2004 fiscal year.
2.3.4 In addition to the interviews and file review, the Audit Team also performed a follow-up on the recommendations made in the November 2001 Audit of the Going Global Science and Technology Program. All recommendations were found to have been actioned appropriately.
3.1.1 Applicants apply for program funding by completing the application form and submitting it to the program administrator. All applicants that do not adhere to the application form are contacted and asked to do so. Once the project proposal has met this basic requirement it is given to a program officer for review.
3.1.2 The designated program officer reviews the project proposal by evaluating it against an established set of criteria and recommending it for acceptance or refusal. The assessment is documented through the use of an assessment form and is maintained on file.
3.1.3 The proposal is then submitted to the two deputy directors for review. Once the deputies have approved the project, the proposal is then given to the director for final approval. The approval is documented using a project approval form and is maintained on file.
3.2.1 The CAs respect the template as set out by SMD and were justified under appropriate authorities.
3.2.2 The Audit Team found that, with the exception of the clause relating to class of air travel, the clauses of the CAs were in agreement with the applicable requirements of the Treasury Board and departmental Transfer Payment Policies. CAs have SMFH approval and, where needed, suggested corrections were made before being issued to the recipients.
3.2.3 The standard clause used by TBR for air travel is not consistent with the Treasury Board guidelines as it does not restrict the recipient to purchase the lowest possible airfare, including charters and other discounts for each trip and to book immediately upon contract approval so as to take advantage of the lowest fares. In speaking with SMFH, the Audit Team understands that the template being used by all programs did not address this issue and has been subsequently revised (for fiscal year 2005/06) to reflect this requirement. As a result no recommendation is noted.
3.3.1 Practices and processes were found to be in place to ensure that program funds are managed with due diligence and that payments are made in accordance with the policies and the CA terms and methods of payment. To reflect proper lines of accountability, TBR ensures that all documentation and applicable approvals are documented in agreement files to support the disposition of project funds.
3.3.2 Good practices are in place for the monitoring of results. The program officers review the final reports to ensure that the recipients have met the requirements of the program. The program administrator reviews the financial report to ensure that the Department covers only 50% of the eligible costs of the project. One exception was noted during the course of a recipient audit (see 3.5). When warranted, the program administrator will consult with the proper authorities before proceeding with the payment process. Once the reports or other outputs have been accepted, they are submitted to the director for payment approval.
3.3.3 Contribution payments are approved by authorized persons, based on the achievement of performance objectives set out in the agreement or as a reimbursement of eligible costs incurred by the recipient. Payments are not made until all required reports have been received.
3.4.1 Contribution files were found to be complete. While accounting records and other relevant documents were maintained and disclosed the amounts paid to recipients, the files were not always well organized. The program administrator explained to the Audit Team that a clean-up/organization of all files occurs at year-end.
3.5.1 TBR, in conjunction with ZIV, has developed a risk management assessment for recipient audits, which includes:
3.5.2 As required by TBR's RBAF, three recipients audits (for projects completed during fiscal year 2003/2004) were undertaken by ZIV during the 2004/2005 fiscal year.
3.5.3 Generally, the recipients that were audited maintained complete and comprehensive records of costs, expenditures and commitments incurred in the course of performing the obligations pursuant to the CA.
3.5.4 One recipient had incorrectly claimed expenditures over the amount allowed by the contribution agreement. Due to miscalculation, the overclaimed amount was $664 or 3% of the value and the recipient subsequently returned the excess amount.
1 The initial sample selected included projects that varied in size - small, medium and large. Of the $117,830 allocated for these projects, only $92,900 was disbursed (24% of the program budget) due to projects coming in on or under budget.(return to source paragraph)

It's worth a shot, maybe to do it with the command line options on boot-up.
I'd rather not do too much that circumvents m0n0wall, as that will come back
to byte me in the butt. Then I'll have a bloody butt AND foot.
Subsequent upgrades of m0n0wall might very well step on something that's out
of it's normal control.
Bridging has allways thrown me for a loop. Should be easy-peasy.
Bruce's explination of the paired interfaces, makes sense, and would be a
reasonable limit to m0n0wall's config.
I guess I need to come up with a better solution. We have an instance where
the customer contracting us to do the wireless would like all the wireless
nodes bridged back to the head end, but many of them will be using wireless
for their feed as well. Bridging 2 wireless customer networks with either a
ethernet or wireless feed, seemed to be a quick fix.
We have only experimented with the Captive Portal. It might be able to do
what we need (indeed on the surface, it makes sense), but the authorative
box, also wants to hand out DHCP addresses, so I don't see how the wireless
clients would connect to it, get authorized, and get the 'proper' IP
address from the head end, in a routed environment.
Gee, and my foot was just healed up from the LAST time I shot it. :-)
If memory serves me right, Dennis Hoshield wrote:

The m0n0wall UI doesn't support configuring a bridge this way, but the
FreeBSD bridging code underneath does. For more details, see:
In m0n0wall's view of the world, each "group" of bridged interfaces contains
exactly two interfaces, and exactly one of the two has an IP address
assigned to it. You might be able to tweak the bridging parameters
underneath the UI to make it do what you want. Maybe. You could also shoot
yourself in the foot pretty well. :-)

10 Best Cocktail Bars in Metro Phoenix
Bar Crudo might leave you tongue tied with this cocktail.
Heather Hoch
In the wake of Black Friday madness and family dinner drama, we could all use a strong drink. You can easily up the merry ante with some truly craft concoctions courtesy of the city's best bars and bartenders. While the mixology craze is saturating the scene in other places, it's an up-and-coming art in Phoenix. However, we can show you 10 of the top places in the Valley that stir, shake, and muddle to impress, whether you're trying to treat your own taste buds or maybe find a place to wow those persnickety in-laws.
Heather Hoch
Crudo Regardless of whether you're craving a classic cocktail done right or an inventive new drink to add to your imbibing repertoire, Bar Crudo can oblige you with craft spirits and handmade and infused syrups and tinctures. Mixologist Micah Olson curates the bar menu at the Arcadia restaurant with a culinary mind toward pairing flavors and creating balance. Drinks like the Tongue Tied ($11) transforms mezcal with strawberry, lime, lavender tincture and Luxardo Abamo Amaro into a smoky, tart masterpiece, while the Milano Gimlet ($11), made with gin, Fernet Branca, grapefruit, basil and cinnamon syrup, seeks to showcase the spirits heartier herbal qualities. Like the food menu, Crudo's cocktail menu strives to be the standard in town for all other menus to live up to.
Jade Bar When we said mixology was a big deal in other scenes, we meant it, and one of the biggest deals on the mixology scene in any town today is Ryan Magarian. Some of Phoenix's biggest cocktail contenders were trained under his tutelage when he came to Jade Bar the first time. Recently, he did a massive overhaul on Jade Bar's cocktail menu to accompany the renovation of the bar's interior at the Sanctuary resort. His mission was to create the iconic Arizona cocktail experience, and with crisp, clean, and refreshing drinks like Shiso Sexy ($14) with shiso leaves, vodka, Yellow Chartreuse, lime juice and chilled green tea, we certainly think he's on the right path.
Heather Hoch
Mabel's on Main This Old Town Scottsdale hangout has been a stronghold for the craft cocktail scene for the past four years. While the Aaron May-owned lounge and bar adopts the barkeep knowhow and den-like atmosphere of a Prohibition-era speakeasy, they ditch the kitschy gimmicks and stick to making delicious drinks. Much like Jade Bar, Mabel's has become a proving ground for bartenders around the city to strut their stuff and eventually go on to mix up their own menus elsewhere. The simple drinks usually pair three to five ingredients, proving that if you know a lot about combining flavors, you can do a whole lot more with a whole lot less.

Fixing cigarette burn in seat
so, this happened the other week, and im not happy about it. im not going into details, but i got a cigarette burn in my back seat. it was pretty bad. i researched online and found furniture clinic to be my best chance at fixing it.
end result, almost, un-noticable. im very pleased with the result. now...ive never done a write up...so here it goes.
i bought the leather repair kit as well as the leather touch up kit in grey. they shipped it from europe and it arrived in San Diego in 3 days
i started with the leather repair kit. using the scalpel i scrapped away all the burnt leather down to fesh leather. the burn was bad, so i had to cut a hole in the seat.
then i inserted a small piece of fabric that was included and glued in underneath the leather
after that dried i was ready to use the heavy filler. it took about 3-4 layers of adding filler, letting it dry and finally sanding.
finally i did a color match to get the right grey and slowly blended a spot over any damaged leather. and then a clear sealant over the top, you need about 3 parts gloss and 2 parts matte for these seats, this is difficult to get right and may take a few tries. getting it just right makes all the difference
ill get better pictures of everything during the day tomorrow. it turned out great. let me know if you guys have any questions, id be more than glad to help.

"Err... Great Britain? Um, you called?" Russia spoke into the now-dark room. Wind was still whistling around him from being magicked into the cavern. The floor beneath his feet had an odd characteristic of pulsing periwinkle blue. He could hear the chattering of teeth, so he knew Arthur was somewhere around. He examined the room, and it slowly came to life as the potions on the desks illuminated the place with rainbows of dim, flickering light.
The room seemed to have the most light coming from a dragon-shaped flask. Filled with something bright red, it seemed to crackle like a hundred Chinese fireworks going off. Hypnotized, Soviet Russia began to walk over, attracted, like a moth to a candle. Only when he was two feet away from the desk with the flask upon it, Russia was distracted by a whimper emanating from under the desk. Russia stopped himself, and bent down to see what was the trouble.
Huddled in the corner under his desk, Britain was trembling feverishly. Arthur was already a nervous person when around Russia, but ever since the Revolution, he had become terminally so. "Arthur?" Russia asked, probing why the nation was so frightened. When Britain didn't respond except for huddling further under the desk, Russia tried to get under the table. However, he simply wouldn't fit under there, being such a large nation. He gave up, not only that it hurt to try to climb under from bumping his head, but Britain would cry out as though he were being whipped every time the table shook from Russia's futile attempts. Sighing, Russia cautiously climbed out. "Arthur, why are you hiding from me if it was YOU who wanted to speak with me?" Britain shook his head furiously. "I-I-didn't call you!" he cried, tears finally streaming down both cheeks. "Just- Just go away, Ivan!" Arthur yelled, stabbing his finger in the direction of the door.
Russia wasn't going to hear any of it any longer. Trying to keep himself from yelling, (which would scare Britain even more and make the situation worse) he stood to his full height of an intimidating ten feet tall and spoke slowly. "Now, you OBVIOUSLY needed me, or you wouldn't have casted a spell to bring me here, so-" Britain interrupted Russia's speech with a nervous laugh. "I never had anything to tell you about America needing to improve his-" realizing he let the cat out of the bag, Britain quickly bit his tongue. Furrowing his thick eyebrows, the United Kingdom rocked back and forth cursing himself under his breath. Russia grinned with malicious intent, his face draped in purple as he chuckled deeply. "Kol kol kol... Its not good to hide things from Russia, da? Well, not only do you have something to tell me, it's about America isn't it?"
Russia lifted the table, and the dragon glass fell and shattered- its contents evaporating in a puff of sparkling red smoke. Exposed, Britain curled up like a ball. He sat there looking at Russia with his emerald green eyes. His eyes seemed like candles, their essence flickering with fear, their light threatened to be blown out by Russia- forever. "Blimey..." Britain whispered, his body rocking like a boat on turbulent seas- the sea of Soviet Russia's large shadow. Britain was shocked. Russia's strength was increasing, and he seemed to be getting bigger everyday as nations became one with him.
Russia threw the cherry-wood desk across the room on the opposite side where Britain sat, where it hit a wall and shattered like glass. Britain stood abruptly, not believing his eyes. Russia dusted himself off and turned around to face Arthur, and his face eased into a sweet, gentle, yet cold smile. "Ivan- what... have- have you done to my...my desk?!?" Britain whispered, his face pale. "Ah, so you won't hide anymore." Russia said, his sweet, sweet smile turning into a sneer. Britain looked from side to side, and realized he was cornered. "Now, we have much to discuss. Mother Russia will hear you through." Britain didn't budge. "I may seem big and scary to you now, but I won't bite if you tell me the whole truth and nothing but the truth..." Russia looked up at the ceiling in mock thought. "Even then, maybe I'll nibble... metaphorically, of course." At first Britain stepped forward, but as soon as the words 'Even then, maybe I'll nibble...' escaped Russia's sly lips, Britain backed away, shaking with fear. "Whatever happened to your sense of humor?" Russia said, bending over to pat Britain on the head. "Whatever happened to yours?" Britain whispered. "Now then, tell me what you have to say about our dear United States..." Russia said, his voice coated with honey.
"L-l-look, I-I don't have anything against you- or-or- America. However, China agreed to the p-p-plan as well." Britain stuttered. Russia nodded, digesting the information. "What is this 'plan'?" Russia said, coaxing the information out of the Brit. "Oh now that, I-I-I can't tell you. It's-it's... HIGHLY confidential. Yes, yes. That's it." Britain said, gaining courage. The Russian's face turned a horrid shade of purple as a growl came out from within him. "Tell me- this plan," The Russian said between clenched teeth, almost a snarl, "and don't make me hurt you to get it out." Upon the mention of violence, the corners of Soviet Russia's mouth curled up in a cruel grin. "Oh, I'll tell it to you Russia- but perhaps we should step outside first..." Great Britain squirmed, his false courage cracking with his voice. "We should get some fresh air... It's awfully damp and cold in here..." The Russian caught Arthur by the arm as the Brit tried to slink towards the exit. "I don't mind..." Russia said, squeezing Britain's arm so hard that he could have sworn that anymore pressure would snap the bone. "OW OW OW!!! LET GO, YOU BLOODY GIT!!!" Great Britain screamed, a fire of pain burning up his arm. "I'LL ONLY TELL YOU THE PLAN IF YOU'D ONLY...LET...GO!!!" Arthur roared. Russia released Arthur's arm, leaving a numb throbbing ache where the inferno was coursing only seconds before.
"Hand me that pen and paper and I'll write it down for you- but as soon as you're finished reading, I'm going to burn it, okay? What happens in this chamber, stays in this chamber, do you understand, Ivan?" Britain said, massaging his sore arm. Without removing his eyes from Britain, Russia briskly marched over to the other table where a peacock feather laid dipped in rich emerald ink, ready for use, on top of some parchment. "You mean this?" Russia asked, pointing one gloved finger at the parchment and feather. "Yeah, that..." Britain collapsed to the floor, holding his arm- cringing. "Britain!" Russia yelled, running over. Hurriedly picking up the nation, Soviet Russia carried him over to the chair and propped him up clumsily. "Can you still write?" Russia asked, handing the feather to Britain. "Yeah...I think... I told you to let go, you git." Britain said, pressing the tip of the peacock feather to the parchment to make the first letter. Russia admired the detail of each letter, the smooth liquidity of each stroke interrupted by Britain's shivers. Slowly, Britain formed words, then sentences and paragraphs. As each word was written down, the satisfaction on Russia's face was wiped away. "What?!?" Russia roared. "That's right, Mr. Russia. And you can't stop me this time." Britain laughed. Russia realized it was now HIS turn to hide under a desk and whimper.

Greeley Chorale heading to Ireland for 12-day tour
June 12, 2013
The pipes are calling the Greeley Chorale to Ireland for a concert tour around the country.
The choir will begin its tour of Ireland on Wednesday. During the 12-day tour, the choir will make stops in Dublin, Belfast, Waterford, Killarney, Limerick, Galway, Shannon and the Aran Islands. Fifty of the 94-member choir, accompanied by their prospective spouses and friends, will sing in places such as Ulster Hall in Belfast, Theatre Royal in Waterford and St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin.
The choir has previously globetrotted to Greece, Italy, China, England and Scotland to name a few.
Choir chairman Michael Foerster said it will be a rewarding experience but getting 92 people to Ireland was no easy feat.
"We had to get two big buses to take us around Ireland," Foerster said. "It required a lot of planning and a lot of patience."
The choir's patience, persistence and practice have paid off.
Their complex musical arrangements rang loud and clear at one of their two-hour weekly practices recently. The mix includes old hymns such as "You Raise Me Up" and Irish favorites like "Danny Boy" accompanied by piano and sometimes the flute.
To raise money for the international trip, which the choir takes every four years, a "Pops and Pasta" concert was held. The proceeds from the concert go directly into a travel fund; the individual members make up the difference. This year the trip cost about $1,500 per person. In addition to the "Pops and Pasta" concert, the choir does three major performances a year along with two smaller concerts.
Now in its 49th year, the choir has evolved with the changing times. Members first started touring in 1985, have had televised performances and have released a CD titled, "Sounds of the Season."
Now directed by Galen Darrough, in his fourth year with the choir in addition to directing at University of Northern Colorado, the choir is doing more complex pieces than ever before.
They hold auditions twice a year — once in January and once in August. The audition process includes performing a solo and doing sight-reading.
"(The choir has) gotten larger and we have come up several levels in musicality," Jeff Walthall, a choir representative, said. "We are doing more challenging pieces than we were 25 years ago."
The choir has nowhere to go but up, according to Walthall, who sees a bright future for the group of performers.
"We seem to be on a good trajectory for honing our craft and gaining an audience," Walthall said. "Hopefully, in five years, we'll see a packed house at all of our performances."

Primal New Year's Resolutions?
new posts
I'm going to have specific lifting goals. If I really want to meet them, I have no choice but to 1) clean up my diet, with less sugar (chocolate), and 2) get more sleep, which are the main components of PB that I have problems with. Three in one, but focus on one
No resolutions for me as such, but some goals and affimations
Start eating really clean again - no more sugary crap, almond flour mince pies are not healthy and neither are lint truffels
This shoud lead to goal of losing last pounds to get lean and moderatly defined all over (ie of the rest of me was as 'ripped' as my legs and forarms i'd be most happy)
I also have a couple of fitness goals to aim for in this year.
Want to get running again once achilles tendon has healed and do a half marathon, maybe even a full marathon
Get a sandbag to add lifting heavy stuff to bodyweight excersises
Complete the centrury challange (40 squats, 30 press-ups, 20 hanging knee raises, 10 pull-ups) (thanks to Al Kavdlo for this idea from his PCC course) and then set a challage to do it as fast as possible, then try for 3 rounds as a quickish work-out.
Do 25 pull-ups
Do a Muscle up, pistol squat, kip up and handstand push-up.
That should keep me busy.
I also want to work on becoming a personal trainer this year, but not sure how to fund it, or find the time, but it's a work in progress.You know all those pictures of Adam and Eve where they have belly button? Think about it..................... take as long as you need........................
Mine as follows...(not necessarily all primal)
I will continue to eat red meat, butter, cream, raw chocolate and bacon regularly, sometimes all at once.
I will not under any circumstances submit my body to a Diet, Anything that starts with the word "die" cant be healthy..
I will make some sort of half arsed attempt to keep my house tidy...ish.... emphasis on half-arsed.
I will try to BBQ more out in the back when the weather is nice. if the weather is naff I may still BBQ simply to drive the neighbors insane.
Scr�w Fashion, I will dress however I like.
I will put aside more time to read. & maybe if I'm feeling particularly generous, write stuff.. whatever I feel like...even if its cr@p...
Drink more... Probably water as whiskey is expensive at 1/2 gallon a day.
Live more natural. Find natural products that work for me. No nudist colony's though, I think that may be to natural......
Walk the dogs more, play more, get outside more. Or play outside with the dogs more.......
I will nurture my inner b*tch, I figure I'm old enough to stop being so nice to stupid people that are a waste of air.
I will stop dragging my mind out of the gutter.. Its fun there. I should enjoy it....Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
My resolutions are never about food or health, but usually some small way to make life more enjoyable...one year I decided to start giving money to street musicians as my resolution because I think they make life more interesting.
This year my resolution is to start sending cards through snail mail again for my friends' birthdays instead of resorting to lame posts on facebooks, which really take zero effort and don't actually mean anything. I sent my first card a few weeks ago, and it was actually kind of exciting.

I don't make New Year's resolutions. But a few lifestyle improvements always occur to me around this kind of year, and they wind up being de facto resolutions, so...*rolls eyes at self*
This year, we've got:
1) Find some physical activities to do out in my new town on a regular basis, like yoga, martial arts or a rock climbing class. Combining physical activity and socialization is key.
2) Give up coffee. Sure, Mark says coffee is ok as long as you're not using it as a crutch. And my friends - I'm using it as a goddamned pacemaker. I am chemically addicted. And I don't like the idea of being really addicted to anything. I'll indulge in caffeinated tea on occasion, but my daily go-to drink will be herbal tea (although I'm seriously considering decaf coffee because beyond being addicted, I really LIKE it! I'm still trying to decide if that's reasonable or a lame cop-out that's bound to sabotage my efforts).
2012 was my year to lose weight (lost 130 lbs), and was a success.
2013 is my year to get stronger. I start Crossfit on the 7th.
I am also getting out more, hiking, camping, and bunches of other outdoor activities that I couldn't (wouldn't) do at 325 lbs.
Not so much a New Years resolution, but more of a determination to change my life for the better.
I kind of like setting New Year's Resolutions, but I rarely keep up with them
This year I'd like to reach 20% body fat (ideally I'll get lower, but 20% is a good figure to start with).
Be able to do a pull up (without assistance), or even more
Will not fall off the primal path (I was really good when I first started out, and then I started letting a couple of things slip in... and then more slipped in... and so on and so forth). No more slipping!
I usually don't do new year's resolutions, but I have one this year.
I have always wanted to enjoy eating fish, so my goal is to cultivate a taste for it.
I don't have the heart (hee, hee) to tackle organ meats yet.

I don't have the heart (hee, hee) to tackle organ meats yet.
In addition to sending out real cards for my friends' birthday, another resolution will be to take at least one hot bath every week by candlelight while relaxing to some This American Life/Radiolab podcasts, which I never seem to have time to listen to. I am really looking forward to this!
Some really great ones here, folks. Here's mine:
My top New Year's Resolution is to be more social. I am a major, major, social coward. Years of being the fat guy pretty much restricted me to one role (that of comic relief) and that role did not let me build up many social skills. I want to get out, get with other people, and have fun. I hardly hang out with anyone from my age group. I'm great with people 30+ or 16 and younger ... adults and kids basically.
But as a 24 year old, I have no connection with my generation at all. This year, I'm making a major push to get more socially active. I'm not sure how to approach it, frankly it scares the crap out of me thinking about it all, but I got to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated -- seriously, I need the help.Went Primal July 25th, 2011.
Current Age: 25
Total Loss: 126 lbs
Starting Stats: Weighed 266 lbs, Body Fat 37.6% (100 lbs), BMI 40.9
Current Stats: Weight 140 lbs, Body Fat 15.2% (21.1 lbs), BMI 21.2
Current Goals: Get a stronger core through Pilates and continue being as Primal as I can be.

Trekfan are you at all interested in historical re-enactment? A couple of years ago my son and I used to hang out with some friends that did Renaissance Fairs and there were lots of 20 something yr olds as well as older folks. It was fun just hanging out in the camps, it attracts a lot of interesting eclectic people. Plus the food can be pretty primal; there always seems to be some one selling turkey legs to gnaw on.Life is death. We all take turns. It's sacred to eat during our turn and be eaten when our turn is over. RichMahogany.

I say SA wins tonight in a blowout, and takes the series in 5 (Cavs win Game 3).
I'll be pulling for Cleveland, though.
I dont know about a blowout, but I think the Spurs will pull it out. . .Spurs in 5!!!
Cleveland don't have enough fire power and Tony Parker will get to do whateva he wants
Games 1's are always extremely unpredictable especially when teams have had a number of days off. So I don't know what to expect tonight. But the Spurs are the better team and will win this series.
OK, so I'm watching NBATV and Dr. J is on and he says that Kobe is the best player in the NBA pound for pound.
That is one of my pet peeves. What the heck does pound for pound mean.
This will be a good matchup and this time i wont underestimate the Cavs, because the Cavs have growed tremendously (especially Lebron) and the timing is perfect... lets see what happens.
Go Lebron James until 6:30 then I got practice.
If the Cavs get game 1 they will win this series.
One thing I hate about the Spurs going deep into the playoffs is that their announcer sucks and their crowd is always DEAD. You'd think if you had won 3 of the pat 8 championships you'd be at least somewhat excited, but this crowd is just a morgue.
LeBron's body language on that last play was really annoying. Dude acted like he could go 1-on-5.
Um...Did anyone else get switched over to a damn spelling bee?? You must be joking..
Well, the Cavs aren't going down quietly, that's for damn sure.
And just like that, 9-0 Spurs run in under a minute.
Lock him' down Bowen Lock himm' Down Bowen. LOL..
The Spurs help defense is incredible
It's turning into a blowout. Spurs up 18 now.
I'm already bored of this series.
I think there will be some good exciting basektball in this series and it will probably go 6 games
I wish we could get lucky on a Euro at least ONCE! Seeing bargain guys contribute like Ginobli and Pavlovic really grind my gears, knowing that we draft them or sign them.. they don't see the floor here and they go on elsewhere, and usually don't pan out at all

"I have no sexual attraction to men," said the comedienne Judy Gold.
Meet the British comedienne poised to take the cringe-comedy throne with her show, Going Native.
The comedienne is wearing low-top sneakers, a scraggly ponytail, and a baggy T-shirt—one of many outfits in her tomboy oeuvre.
The comedienne even finished it off with a hocked loogie and a groin grab.
Or perhaps he has some important things to say about cross-dressing 1990s comedienne Paula Poundstone.
But why did the comedienne with the brass-bright hair choose to pass on that characteristic to my mistress?
comedienne at five, married at seventeen, dead at twenty-eight—immortal.
She was advertised as the Polish comedienne, Mizzi Markis, and the announcements hinted at her royal though remote ancestry.
Those who have never seen her in this part can hardly realize how fine a comedienne she really is.
The strongest situation possible in the sensational play is that in which the comedienne flags the train or stops the belt.
