High school football: 5A All-State teams
Man of Sports Draper, UTDec. 26, 2013 10:01 a.m.
Hey jarka-rus and Gunner, I noticed that the other paper got it right as well and not only put the Jordan QB on their exclusive list but also first team. There are a lot of people who understand the kind of talent he has and what kind of number he put up last season. The Jordan QB may be one of the all time best athletes to come out of this state - EVER.
CivilDialogue Salt Lake, UTDec. 17, 2013 5:35 p.m.
One overlooked anomaly in this year is All-State awards is the team from Lone Peak. The team of underachievers accomplished something NEVER been done in Utah H.S. Football! They are the FIRST team to play in a Semi-Final Game WITHOUT a single selection to "1st team" squad. Had it not been for a single 2nd Team appearance - the entire team would have remained merely (but honorably) mentioned. Two years ago Mr. James editorialized that in years past "The voting was often comical." With that in mind - historically over the last 25 years or more, NO 3A, (3AA), 4A & 5A semi-finalist appearing team has been without multiple 1st team picks, let alone left with just a SINGLE 2nd team pick. I'm not sure what the "Deseret News revamped process" actually does. I'd suggest a follow-up story on the first squad to advance to the semi's without a single "first-team caliber player"! It can't be wholly based on personal stats, can it? Do coaches need to pad their stats? No bad feelings - rather factually noteworthy! For those left snubbed in Lone Peak Land "Participation Trophies for All!"
Man of Sports Draper, UTDec. 17, 2013 3:39 p.m.
Jarka-rus and Gunner, I will attempt to explain this to you again. Let me begin with how many players in the 5A (or any other classification) do you know that totaled 4,805 total yards and 50 TDs? On top of that - in both of your words - the Jordan QB was the only weapon for Jordan HS. I would say that you have to be some kind of special player if you are the only weapon and every team that you play knows that you are the only weapon and still gain four thousand, eight hundred and five yards and fifty touchdowns. Jordan HS would love to have won the state title again but the AllState awards are not based on how your team did - it is based on individual stats and I would say that the JHS QB has no equal.
jarka-rus Layton, UtahDec. 16, 2013 12:25 p.m.
@Man of Sports
He didn't prove anything LOL! You're arguing that he is the best player on Jordan's team. Of course he is, that's easy to see. But you forgot to word it as he is the ONLY weapon on their team, but you chose to word it as their "main" weapon. No he was their ONLY weapon. They had no other weapons. And are you saying that individual stats really trump an undefeated season and winning a championship?!?! Really?? going 7-6 and losing in the semis is somehow better than 14-0 and a trophy?? I don't get it.
jarka-rus Layton, UtahDec. 16, 2013 12:16 p.m.
@Man of Sports
Yet Bingham didn't FEAR Jordan's NFL QB did they? 4 int's is hardly scoring EVERY TIME he touched the ball. And I can guarantee Bingham wasn't more worried about him then anyone else, if you heard Coach Peck at halftime of the Alta game he said that Alta was the most explosive offense they were going to see all year. He didn't say ANYTHING about #2 at half of the Jordan game!
jarka-rus Layton, UtahDec. 16, 2013 12:00 p.m.
Great job Bingham!
They were loaded and could have had a few others on the first team imo but they're wearing the rings so I won't be nit picking the lists. But I have to agree with other comments Kafentzis wasn't all that this year, yeah he got all the accolades last year and well deserved but this is 2013 and as was mentioned 20/19 is not good by any stretch at any level and his team went 7-6 and lost in the semi's, he threw 4 INT's against Bingham alone!! last I saw Bingham and their QB was hoisting the trophy at 14-0. but oh well Kyle Gearig will be on the 1st team next year I guarantee that! THAREF you'll get to know his name very well next year buddy.
Man of Sports Draper, UTDec. 16, 2013 9:52 a.m.
Gunner - exactly! You just proved my point. Jordan main weapon with their QB and everyone schemed to stop him and he STILL had 50 TDs for the season. Hands down the better player at that position. Thank you for answering my question.
I know an undefeated season and state championship are great team goals but the AllState list is based on individual stats.
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 13, 2013 4:12 p.m.
Well that doesn't prove much except that the only weapon Jordan had was their QB. Bingham had their RB, their QB, their TE, their WR. So that doesn't prove much saying who you scheme for more between the two teams. Come up with an apples to apples comparison. Like I said, 9 fewer touchdowns and 10 less interceptions that resulted in an undefeated season and state championship means more to me.
Man of Sports Draper, UTDec. 13, 2013 2:59 p.m.
Gunner - still haven't answered my question...
Who do you scheme more for - the Jordan QB or the Bingham QB. Maybe the lack of answer is enough.
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 13, 2013 12:23 p.m.
Man of Sports: Put it this way, when Brighton and Jordan were playing in the Semi final game, the Bingham coaches were hoping Jordan would win instead of Brighton. That's because they were more worried about Brighton then the Jordan team, or their QB.
Orem7 Pleasant Grove, UTDec. 13, 2013 11:22 a.m.
10 ints in 340 attempts is a great ratio. Obviously you are not making objective comments but are trying to be mean. Nice. But I guess being from AF you are still bitter because he knocked you out of the playoffs. Basketball season came early in AF. Oh wait you are accustomed to an not going to the playoffs.
adwight AMERICAN FORK, UTDec. 13, 2013 8:05 a.m.
Orem you're right. He was the best pure passer; to the opposing team.
Man of Sports Draper, UTDec. 12, 2013 5:19 p.m.
Gunner - you know as well as all of us that the voting is done by the coaches and it obvious that the coaches fear (or respect) the Jordan QB more than probably any other player on the list. That kid is a threat to score EVERY time he touches it. 50 TDS is IMPRESSIVE. The Jordan coach doesn't have to call any favors to get the Jordan QB on this list - FEAR alone from all the other 5A coaches got him on the 1st team. Not like the BHS coach to get the JR DB on the 1st team. Look at it like this - if you were the D Coordinator on the other team - who do you scheme more for? The Jordan QB or the Bingham QB...I think you can answer that yourself.
Orem7 Pleasant Grove, UTDec. 12, 2013 5:00 p.m.
The PG kid is and then some, I don't know about the Alta ki
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 12, 2013 4:51 p.m.
Unfortunately Orem7, neither of those two are worthy of honorable mention!
Orem7 Pleasant Grove, UTDec. 12, 2013 4:17 p.m.
Frankly, your discussion of which qb threw better is kind of funny. The Bingham kid, the Jordan kid, and the Lone Peak kid are below average passers. The two passers in the bunch are the PG kid and the Alta boy. The PG kid is the best pure passer.
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 12, 2013 9:34 a.m.
Sinkme: The Gearig kid from Bingham had 41 touchdowns with 10 fewer interceptions. Not to mention the fact that there were probably 5 games where he didn't see the field in the 4th qtr. I watched the Jordan kid play 4 times this year. It wasn't due to bad routes being ran trust me. Go watch the semi final game against Brighton. Passes were high, behind his receivers, etc. It was the same in the other 3 games I watched him. Look I'm not saying the kid isn't a great HS QB. I'm just saying that his stats weren't that impressive to me as were the Bingham QB's. Sure I'm a Bingham homer and alum. But the kid led his team to a 14-0 record and a state championship. I think that trumps an extra 9 touchdowns in my opinion.
5A Football Man Layton , UTDec. 12, 2013 8:01 a.m.
Pig Skin Fan- What is your deal with Syracuse High? All year you been on them and bashing them. I'm from Salt Lake area so I have nothing to do with Syracuse, but if I would say you have somthing out for them. Maybe you had a kid that couldn't play for them or you couldn't go there. But I watch high football in the state of Utah and only really care about 5A and they have done great in there first 7 years.
7Heismans Highland, UTDec. 11, 2013 6:16 p.m.
My submittable last night was deleted or never posted by the DN. Why? Because it was the truth? I certainly did not use vulgarity, I wasn't uncivil nor did I denigrate anyone. I merely asked the DN to consider revamping how they can be more fair in All State selections. As is, the system is flawed and allows coaches get together and vote for guys as favors to other coaches. "You vote for my guy , I'll vote for yours" and deserving players are left out or end up as honorable mentions only because of inside deals. The process needs more transparency and greater objective participation.
Riverton123 Riverton , UTDec. 11, 2013 5:16 p.m.
Given that this award is based on individual stats and not the team. The McMorris kid deserves to be first team all-state. He had equal if not better numbers in tackles and sacks than the first team linebackers, With the number of games played compared to most players who played 1-4 more games then he did.
sinkme Salt Lake, UTDec. 11, 2013 3:38 p.m.
Quarterbacks do run the ball now days as well. The qb from Jordan looks to have more rushing yards and TD's than both first team running backs. Never seeing him play, one could assume that you would chalk at least half of those int's on bad routes or missed balls by his receivers? I am not sure how anyone can question how good the kid is unless you just don't like the attention he gets. Yes, 19 interceptions. BUT 50 TOUCHDOWNS. How is that not a first team all state kid "in any state"?
porkpies SANDY, UTDec. 11, 2013 3:37 p.m.
I was pretty pleased with the list, I thought my kid was a first teamer, but maybe this can be a chip on his shoulder to work harder and do more at the next level. I agree that Hunter Dall got robbed that kid was nails all year. It was still quite the ride this year, GO BENGALS PRIDE!!!!
Bored to the point of THIS! Ogden, UTDec. 11, 2013 2:40 p.m.
re: Barricade
The West Jordan kid was third in tackles, which is impressive, but 18th in sacks. Check the stat's before you make such claims.
re: adwight
Gajkowski is a great player. Saw him play several games. It's a tough year to be a QB though. I'm not sure which QB (first/2nd team) you could take off the list? The Davis QB is a great player who had great numbers as well and he was honorable mention too. A lot of great players at that spot this season.
Also keep in mind. Coaches from each school nominate players. The ballots are then voted upon by the various coaches. Sometime people (parents) think their kid should be on the list, when they don't even get nominated by their coach. Maybe off the field issues? Who knows.
Bored to the point of THIS! Ogden, UTDec. 11, 2013 2:32 p.m.
Re: Pig Skin Fan
The kid from Brighton is a good kicker, however he did not kick many field goals. Total points is a reflection of field goals and Point after touchdowns. Most high school teams have kids who can kick PAT's... The kicker from Syracuse had many more field goals. The second team kicker from West was second in field goals. Hope this helps make sense.
The Brighton kid also played in 4 additional games. I'm guessing the Bingham kicker also scored more total points due to being in more games... more PAT's.
adwight AMERICAN FORK, UTDec. 11, 2013 1:08 p.m.
They need more categories, such as an ATH position. For example you're trying to tell me Baron Gajkowski, one of the 5 best football players in the state, led his team to back-to-back semi final appearances didn't even make the All-State list until honorable mention? Yet Zac Dawe, with 44 tackles and 7 sacks makes 1st team All State when the kid from Brighton was far superior. Makes no sense to me.
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 11, 2013 12:49 p.m.
Not to mention the fact the kid ran for another 13 TD's.
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 11, 2013 12:47 p.m.
Theref: Last time I checked, This is for THIS year. Not the past 3 years. 20 td's and 19 interceptions does not qualify as all state, in any state. He has had an incredible career. But this year was not a great one for him. The Gearig kid threw for 28 TD's and had 9 interceptions. Besides led his team to an undefeated season with a state championship. You compare this year bud, not the past 3.
Barricade Herriman, UTDec. 11, 2013 12:45 p.m.
How is it that a player can be the 5A leader in both tackles and QB sacks and not be first team? The McMorris kid from West Jordan got robbed!
HS Sport Dude Salt Lake City, UTDec. 11, 2013 12:31 p.m.
I agree with Gunner. You can't base this on anything but this year. It's the 2013 All State Team. One more TD Pass than INT and only a 50% completion average. Not very impressive and not on a State Championship Team. Like other QB's from Jordan and Utah High Schools the Jordan kid will not play a down of D1 football at the QB position.
Pig Skin Fan Syracuse, UTDec. 11, 2013 11:37 a.m.
OL: Nick Giles, Brighton, Sr.
He did get Second Team, but should have been a First Team guy also. I get it they lost the Championship, but he was right there with the other two OL from Brighton all year. Great job Giles.
Pig Skin Fan Syracuse, UTDec. 11, 2013 11:33 a.m.
Hunter Dall Kicker from Brighton was robbed. Out scored the Syracuse Kicker by 26 points in the year. They missed him big time. Had one off game in the Championship. Many other did not play their best in that game, but still made All State.
tharef Sandy, UTDec. 11, 2013 11:00 a.m.
Come on gunner look at his body of work the last three years. He has broken ALMOST every record there is recorded for a QB. That kid from bingham what's his name? Ya not even close to what Auz has done, not even close.
All Love Salt Lake, UTDec. 11, 2013 10:47 a.m.
well deserved list...But how was Hunt the DE for Brighton left off this list????
Gunner South Jordan, UTDec. 11, 2013 10:26 a.m.
8 first team selections from Bingham. That is awesome! Well deserved boys! As for the QB selection, 20 td's and 19 interceptions? I get the love affair with the kid, but he did not have anywhere near the year he did last year. I still would have went with the kid from Bingham at QB. Way to go Miners!

Academic Integrity
Be advised that in all your coursework, students (both undergraduate students and graduate students) should not seek unpermitted aid and no student should give aid on examinations, papers or other assigned work (employed for evaluating the students' knowledge and progress). It is the responsibility of each student to uphold these ideals.
As a major in Electrical/Computer Engineering, you should appreciate that you are creating your own personal record of both academic performance as well as moral and ethical behavior; thus, any deviation from acceptable behavior may be grounds for dismissal from the Electrical/Computer Engineering program.
The faculty of the University of California, Riverside, believe that the vast majority of our students maintain high standards of academic honesty and integrity; however, occasional incidents of academic dishonesty do occur. Many such acts are committed through ignorance. Often, a student accused of cheating will vehemently deny the charge, claiming that he/she did not know the act violated established policy. The following statement is intended to clarify what constitutes academic dishonesty and to describe the procedures and consequences if a student is accused of and found guilty of breaking the rules that apply to all UC Riverside students. At UCR, academic dishonesty is a serious offense and will not be tolerated.
University of California, Policies applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students, Section 102.01 (1996): Academic dishonesty requiring discipline is defined as "All forms of academic misconduct, including but not limited to, cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, or facilitating academic dishonesty as may be further specified in campus regulations." (The complete policy is published each quarter in the Schedule of Classes.)
Academic Honesty Defined
- Cheating: to copy from another student's examination, quiz, laboratory work, or homework assignment. The use of pre-prepared notes or other resources, in any form, during an examination, unless such use is expressly authorized by the instructor, also constitutes cheating. If a student knowingly allows someone else to copy from their homework, laboratory work, or examination, they are in violation of section 102.01. Revising a work after its final evaluation and representing the revised version as being the original work is cheating. Forging or otherwise unauthorized changing of an earned grade is also academically dishonest. Arranging for someone else to take an examination under your identification also constitutes an act of cheating. In this last instance, both parties are liable.
- Plagiarism: According to Webster's Dictionary, plagiarism is the act of stealing and passing off as one's own the ideas or words of another. Please note that the instructor will pay attention not to whether you meant to plagiarize, but whether you did plagiarize. Additionally, submitting the same paper twice or fulfilling the requirements of two subjects with one paper is academically dishonest. In short, one can plagiarize oneself and be sanctioned for the violation. You may use the ideas and words from other sources, but you must document their use with citations, usually in the form of footnotes, endnotes, or textnotes. By citing your sources, you indicate the extent of your research, thereby improving your paper.
- Unauthorized Collaboration: Collaboration occurs when a student works with other students to study, do lab work, review books or develop a presentation or report. Students must receive very clear permission from the instructor to participate in collaborations. Unauthorized collaboration is an example of an academically dishonest act. What one instructor may view as a collaboration may be seen as cheating by another. The important thing to note is that if the limits of collaboration are not clear, it is the student's responsibility to ask the instructor for very clear and specific direction.
- Manufacture of Data: It is academically dishonest to manufacture or deliberately alter data submitted in connection with laboratory reports, term papers or written material. Not only is this practice dishonest, it undermines the entire academic process.
Procedures and Sanctions
The sanctions for violation of student code 102.01 are clear cut:
- If an instructor suspects a student has cheated or plagiarized, the faculty member will arrange to meet with the student to discuss the circumstances. If the student admits violating section 102.01, then the faculty member will issue the appropriate grade (usually an "F") and notify the Vice Chancellor of Student Services for additional disciplinary action.
- If the student denies that he/she has committed an act of academic dishonesty then the instructor will forward all relevant information to the Student Discipline Coordinator (DC). The DC will review these facts and interview the student, instructor and an witnesses to determine if section 102.01 has been violated.
- If the facts support the charge, the DC will levy an appropriate administrative disciplinary sanction. The student may appeal this decision to the Student Conduct Committee (through the office of the DC). However, if the student does not appeal within one week, the DC will report to the faculty member that the student has not appealed and the faculty member will then notify the Registrar of the appropriate course grade (again usually an "F") to be posted to the student's grade report.
- If the DC reports that there is insufficient evidence of academic dishonesty and the student does not acknowledge misconduct, the faculty member also has the right to request a hearing of the case before the Student Conduct Committee for further review and resolution.
For a second violation of section 102.01, a student will receive an F for the course and a one-quarter suspension - provided the student admits guilt or if the Student Conduct Committee finds the student in violation of 102.01. The suspension shall be effective immediately. If the student does not admit guilt, then the normal procedure outlined above will take place.
A third infraction will result in the student's permanent dismissal from the University - provided the student admits guilt or if the Student Conduct Committee finds the student in violation of 102.01. If the student does not admit guilt, then the normal procedure outlined above will take place.
The above information is not designed to threaten or intimidate the student. Rather, it is presented to inform the individual of the consequences. The important thing to remember is that if there is any doubt in one's mind that an act is in violation of section 102.01, then the prudent response would be not to do the act. It is a simplistic approach, to be sure, but one that will benefit both the student and the university community as a whole.

Media workers demand indefinite general strike
GREEKjournalists, printers, technicians and media office workers staged a 100 per cent successful national strike on Monday against wage cuts and mass sackings, demanding the signing of collective agreements.
Not a single newspaper was printed, radio stations played music while television stations showed old programmes. Media workers demonstrated through Athens city centre with the most popular slogan shouted being for a general and indefinite strike. But the journalists trade union leader, Dimitris Trimis, refused the call and said that the best thing to do is to sit down with the bosses to find a solution. On June 6th journalists are holding a ballot on the issue of declaring an indefinite national strike. During the last six months one national newspaper and one nationwide tv channel have closed down along with dozens of magazines. It is estimated that the media sectors unemployment has reached over 40 per cent while those who are still at work have their wages cut by 20 to 40 per cent and others have not been paid at all for the last three months. The Athens bourgeois press have revealed that ex-prime minister and banker Lucas Papademos handed a document over to the Greek President on 11 May outlining Greeces bankruptcy. In it Papademos claimed that at the end of June Greece wont have the necessary cash to pay wages and pensions. The document is being used by the press against the Coalition of the Radical Left party (SYRIZA) which is being accused as responsible for the eventual exit of Greece from the euro. SYRIZAs leader Alexis Tsipras replied that it is the EC-IMF Austerity Measures Accord that is dragging Greece over the cliff. SYRIZA are to present their political programme this Friday. But Tsipras recent pro-EC and pro-euro statements have produced a noticeable decline in the support for SYRIZA. Last week the Athens stock exchange collapsed by almost 12 per cent, down to 1980s levels. Greeces central bank intervened last Friday morning and handed 18bn euros to the four biggest banks allowing them to regain access to European Central Bank funding. This so-called recapitalisation of the four biggest bankrupt Greek banks was carried out through the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF), itself funded by the EC-IMF bailout fund, obviously in agreement with all the major political parties including SYRIZA.

At one time or another, everyone feels depressed or upset. It is important to remember that just because a student appears to be experiencing one of the signs below it does not necessarily mean that he or she is in significant distress. However, if a student's distress appears to be severe, or you notice one or more of these signs over a prolonged period of time, then it may be necessary to intervene. You can call the Counseling Center if you have doubts or concerns about the seriousness of your student's problems.

Great Movie Mention Of The Day – The Gods Must Be Crazy
I popped in a classic movie last night, 1980's The Gods Must Be Crazy. Still a great movie, still hilarious and probably more relevant than ever today. With the modern advancement in technology, there's a message to remember folks. Am I just getting older or does this seem to be the equation?: Simplicity = Happiness
Just a big screen portrayal of course but I think it would work. I think being a Bushmen, with no knowledge and thus no understanding of civilized people, would bring about true happiness. It's too late now but I almost wish I was born in a remote land or at another time when I could just live off the land with my brethern and never know of these material things we all treasure so dearly. A simple man-made object (the coke bottle) began the decline of their utopia. Just sayin.
Again just a movie, but just a reasonable thought to take with you amongst the hilarity. Something to consider if you get a break from your Droid or Facebook account. I'm gonna go disrobe and draw some water from the Earth.

I am saying one thing. Go Peja and Tyson!!!!

Why Hornets fans and Magic fans should be rooting for the Heat to win it all
On July 1st, the NBA owners are going to lock out the players because the current economic model is simply not working. The summer will be spent negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, and that battle is not just an Owners vs. Players battle; it is a Players vs. Large Market Owners vs. Small Market Owners battle that will be fought to the death. Actually, small market and large market is not completely accurate, as a couple of the smaller markets have mega-wealthy owners, premier locations, or a lack of state income tax. All of those things shift the playing field considerably. But make no mistake, it will be owners vs. owners vs. players, and that is why this one will be much tougher than the 1998-99 negotiation that locked players out from July 1st to January 20th.
What the owners with less resources or (how do I say this nicely?) less glamorous cities will ask for is a level playing field, in which they have the same opportunities to build a contender or keep their superstars. Last summer was brutal for Toronto and Cleveland, and although the Nuggets played well after the Melo trade, they had to go through hell for several months due to the drama. If nothing is changed, we could very well see similar situations arise in New Orleans and Orlando. After that, we will hear talk of Kevin Love and Blake Griffin setting their sights elsewhere, and so on and so on.
That is why every fan of a team that does not fit the criteria that only four or five franchises maintain, should root for the Heat to roll through the competition on the way to the NBA title. After disposing of the Celtics, pray that they destroy Chicago and Oklahoma City, two teams that built their franchises the right way. Strike fear into the owners that this is the wave of the future. Mega stars teaming up in five or six markets while every other team's best case scenario is to take the Nuggets route of having ten quality players but no superstar. Worst case scenario? The league has eight Cleveland's.
As human beings, we are all prisoners of the moment, and owners will enter negotiations with images of Lebron, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh hoisting a trophy fresh in their minds. They will see the writing on the wall as Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and Deron Williams all send out congratulatory tweets. NBA fans will start to wonder if they will be stuck with the franchise that becomes the leagues' version of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Owners will too.
The Heat winning it all less than a month before the real CBA negotiations begin might be the only thing that can create the parity that his league has never had. We all know the numbers. We are all aware that only a handful of teams are represented on the list that reads NBA champions, and even fewer on the list that includes franchises with multiple championships. For some reason, NBA fans and owners have bought this lie that small market teams can build dynasties too because the Spurs did it. As if every franchise will have the ability to have the #1 pick in a year where a top 10 All-Time great (who actually doesn't want the limelight of a big market) is coming out.
Yes, it is possible, but possible and probable are two totally different things. So here's to the Miami Heat. All of us fans in markets that can't overspend or can't attract will be rooting for you. Your domination will unite the owners, who up until this point, have been a silent majority. But no longer. Hard cap? Maybe. Increased penalties for luxury tax spending? Likely. Franchise tag or something close to it? Most definitely.
And for that, I am willing to sell my soul for the next month to root for this collection of individuals that I hesitate to even label a "team."

This is a very nice discussion. I have been waiting for the weekend to write my comment. I have to disagree with McNamara that I would wanna root for the Heat. However, I believe that this is all about what the player wants! Big market? Championship? If Heat looses to CHI or OKC/MEM vs. DAL, does that show the players that creating your own big-3 might not lead you to a title? If you care about the championships, would that make you think twice? Or maybe your priority is the big market, so you only want to go to for example, New York, unite with fellow friends, aka Melo and Amare. Maybe you will not be able to win a championship at all (remember you have to play against CHI and MIA for years to come) but that's OK. Now, you are in the big market and that's what matters to you. Garnett-Pierce-Allen was a big three too. And they won only one championship. So, I kinda believe that it depends what the player wants, championship or just money? Yes, you may choose money but you gotta remember that any big-3 will not guarantee you championships. However, if the new CBA will let you earn considerably more money if you RESIGN with your team, that might change things. What I hate is what Melo did. I think that was worse than what Lebron did. No player should be able to dictate his team what he wants to do. Nobody forces a player to sign an X-year deal of Y amount of dollars. You have to honor your contract until your owner decides to get rid of you. And, you gotta go whereever your owner sends you as part of a trade. So, I would not care if Melo wants to play in NYK or NJN. Once he tells you that he is not going to resign, you are entitled to send him anywhere you want to get the best available in return. I think they have to solve that problem. I am sorry. This was very disorganized and I gotta go now. I might continue later.
Dont ya think CP would be more inclined to say he needs to make his OWN super team if Miami were to win it? I think if Miami wins it, so long from New Orleans, Chris Paul.
Sorry for the lack of editing. Too tired from work to continue staring at a computer screen.
[Just got home from work. I'm going to post this link which talks a lot about the CBA (revenue sharing in particular) and even mentions a potential rift between small market owners and big market owners. After reading this the comment I really see where Michael and 42 are coming from. I still don't agree that the Heat winning a title scares the owners or really does anything to affect them or the state of the NBA. http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2011/02/20110214/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NBA-revenue.aspx ] Look at the Forbes list 42 posted. Going by operating income the OKC and Phoenix place 7th and 8th, Portland was 11 and Cleveland was 13. All those teams beat out Miami, Philly, DC, Dallas and Atlanta. While I agree that small markets are in a worse position than teams in larger ones, it's not as if they are just bleeding money. PHX could have brought Amare back. They offered him something like 70m guaranteed with 30 million based on number of minutes played. But it's not like the Suns couldn't bring him back because they couldn't afford it. If Amare breaks down in a couple of years he crushes the Knicks too. Paying a guy 20m+ a year to not play will decimate any franchise. If Gasol gets hurt and only plays 20 games over the next two years it hurts the Lakers too because they still have to pay Gasol and his contract still counts against the hard cap. While they have tons of money they can't just go out and sign whoever they want. There is still a hard cap. The team's income may not go into the red because of it, but it still hurts. Any injured player who takes up a whole bunch of cap room is going to completely derail his team. But, of course, there is flip side of that. Let's say a team is making 6 million in profit and Player X and his 4m contract expires. To sign Player X to his new 14m contract now plunges the team into that scary negative cash flow situation. But the owners themselves are often to blame for issues like that. How many players have terrible contracts (Haywood on the Mavs comes to mind). The guaranteed contracts (while amazing for the players, especially when you compare their situation to NFL players) really hurts NBA owners. The Wizards would have loved to cut Arenas and not have to pay that albatross of a salary he carries with him. But they couldn't and it wrecked that franchise. I've read a lot that Stern claims the league is losing 300m but that number is misleading. A whole ton of that loss comes from arena and loan debt. The Hornets owed the league 30m just for moving. They chose to pay that out over 7 years. That comes to about 4.3m a year (assuming there is no interest). That's 4.3m less in net income for the year. But that hit is not because a team can't compete in a small market. That's based on something before the team came to this city. Many of the Hornets problems are based off the terrible (worst in the league maybe?) TV deal they have. It's insane that the team doesn't have every game shown in their local market. There is a reason that Stern said the most important thing to the survival of the team here is that local businesses get behind it. That sponsorship money really matters. And that's when it comes back to the CBA and revenue sharing especially. But read the link above as there are two really important quotes in there: "'There is a broad consensus that the current revenue-sharing structure ought to be changed,' said Joel Litvin, NBA president of league operations and a key executive involved in the revenue-sharing issue" and "'The large markets have bought in, but this is a league run by a bunch of entrepreneurs who have never shared with their competitors,' said one source familiar with league finances.' It doesn't need the Heat winning an NBA title to unite the owners together. Yes there may be some resentment from SMOs at the situation BMOs are in but it seems that most owners are united on that front together already. Even if the CBA helps out small market teams in terms of revenue sharing, it doesn't guarantee equality. It seems that the biggest reason for revenue sharing is to stop teams from losing money. Big market teams will still have more local and national sponsorship money and those deals are unlikely to be shared under the terms of a new CBA. The Lakers will still have more money to spend on players than the Hornets. A hard cap helps even the playing field. Then the NBA starts looking like the NFL where every team is making money to spend enough on salary to hit the cap (if they so choose to--you can bet that even with a hard cap Sterling and the Clippers wont be). And if it works out like that then that is so, so awesome. But I disagree that a hard cap would limit players from forming super teams. Lets say a lower hard cap is put in place. Eventually, not right away, and I could not even guess at the time frame, this will cause lower player salaries. When the scale evens out (lets say the cap is lowered 10% then eventually player salaries will be 10% of what they are now) then the NBA will be in the same situation they are in now. Superstar are making so much in endorsements and other business ventures that their NBA salary doesnt mean as much. Does Lebron care if hes making 23m instead of 25m when he is making 30m alone in just endorsements? Would he give up 5m? Potentially. Superstar athletes can afford to leave contract money on the table. Is it going to be a common thing? No, not at all. And this will only be the case for superstar players. But if they want to play together and form a super team then there may not be many ways to stop them. Michael, I agree with all your points about the CBA. I'm buying into the idea of SMO vs. BMO (I just don't think it's a huge divide since they all already agree on a new revenue sharing model). I just don't think that the Heat winning a title is going to scare them into anything. Whatever deal with revenue sharing is going to be the same regardless of who wins the championship this year. And I think the Heat winning only encourages superstar players to play together which is the opposite of a team like New Olreans wants. And regardless of what the new CBA looks like there will still be problems for small market teams. 42 (and everyone else), if you every want to go grab a drink, maybe at the Doors because of the great memories there, and discuss NBA stuff I'm always game.
I'm at work now so I can't really comment. This is a good discussion though. I like it
And just so we have more voices on here, we will have guys like Henry Abbott, Larry Coon, and other very knowledgeable people to give their point of view and help to educate us all on this mess. But I assure you that there is a division amongst the owners, and how could their not be? The Lakers spent $110 million dollars in player salary alone this year (counting lux tax) and another 15-18 million on coaches (which is triple what the Hornets spent). Phoenix, meanwhile, couldn't bring back their WCF team because of the chance that Amare might break down in a couple of years and the dead weight on their books that would result. You think the Lakers have to concern themselves with that? They pay Walton 6-7 mil per year to be the Craft Service guy on the team and Bynum twice that to miss 30-40 games a year. No way the small market owners let the big guys walk out of this negotiation with that kind of advantage again. But yes, there will still be bad owners who will lose no matter how much parity you try to create, so it is not a cure all, but it is better than what we have now IMO.
[I want to apologize for how long and ranty this is. Maybe I should make it a journal and respond to Michael that way.] I disagree with the post. I haven't heard of anything regarding Small Market Owner (SMO) vs. Big Market Owner (BMO). I get that SMO's may be unhappy with their situation (see the Maloofs and the Kings relocation) but is there some article showing that SMOs will be butting heads with BMOs? From everything that's been said regarding the owners feelings on the matter it's that all the owners seem fairly united in what they want out of a new CBA. I think that would actually help the player's leverage if it was SMO vs BMO. From the players perspective it is them vs. the owners (both SM and BM) and if the owners are infighting then even better. Owners know this and don't want anything that can hurt their bargaining position so they wouldn't let anything leak about that. So even if they are butting heads in private, using that as a basis for rooting for the Heat to unite the owners is taking a big hypothetical leap. And if there is something showing owner vs. owner then we're in for a much, much longer lockout. If the Heat win the title then it shows star players around the league that teaming up is the easiest way to a championship. Dwight Howard (or, even worse, Chris Paul) seeing his buddies having fun and winning a championship is going to make him envious. It's going to make him want to form a super team of his own. A Heat title will not strike fear into owners. If the owners wanted to make their stand do it by not giving into the sign and trade that sent Lebron to the Heat. If he is going to leave then make him do so for less money. Show him there are repercussions to his actions. Players are going to play where they want to play. No owner will say no to a player of Lebron's (or even Bosh's) caliber. Dan Gilbert was going to lose Lebron anyway. By giving him the amount of money he asked for and trading him (remember Lebron didn't sign with the Heat as a free agent), Gilbert only encouraged other players in the future. Yes, it is better for the franchise to get a couple of picks as opposed to nothing, but he still gave into a player's demand. Unless the new CBA is radically different players (especially those with expiring contracts) will still be able to control where they want to play. So what if there is a franchise tag? That only delays the inevitable. In the NFL a player can be franchised two years in a row. But there is no way NBA players will agree to a tag that can be placed in consecutive years on a player. They might not even agree to one at all. And then that leaves a disgruntled player playing for a team he doesn't want to. Look at the Carmelo situation this year. If they keep him and franchise him next year then they are stuck in the exact same boat. They didn't want to deal with it at the trade deadline so why would they want to deal with it for a whole other season? Maybe the CBA can fix all of this. A hard cap and a limit on the number of max contracts a team can have will help. But I don't think there is a divide between SMOs and BMOs on this. Saying that teams will eventually become the Pitt Pirates is incorrect. The Pirates trade players because their owner is terrible and wants to keep payroll down as much as possible, almost to the minimum. The Nuggets didn't trade Carmelo to Knicks because they didn't want to pay him. An extension was on the table. He was traded because he wanted to play in NYC. Maybe it was because he's from there. Maybe it's because he wants to play with Amar'e. But it doesn't matter because he choose where he wanted to go. And I don't exactly see what in the new CBA could prevent that. Lebron, Bosh and Wade all signed for less money to play together. It wasn't that much less but I'd be willing to bet Lebron would have given up 10 million over the life on his contract if that's what it would have taken to make it work. If a player is willing to give up money how is a CBA going to stop them from teaming up? If Chris Paul says he wants to play for the Bucks how is anyone supposed to stop him? Teams and players will find a way. So to put it simply: Rooting for the Heat will only empower the players more. Players will start acting the same way Carmelo did and pick and choose which teams they want to play for before they become free agents. If a team like the Thunder or Bulls win then it shows players like Howard and Paul that if you trust your front office to draft well, make smart trades and free agent pick up then you can win a title that way too.
I think if rules are put in place to allow small market teams to financially compete with bigger cities, then franchise tags aren't necessary. I wouldn't be upset if a franchise tag was introduced, but I think players should be allowed to go where they want. The rate limiting factor should be how much salary any one team can take on, not a restriction on players' freedom of choice. If some type of harder salary cap was implemented, New Orleans wouldn't need the benefit of a franchise tag. Paul will stay here if we grow a culture of winning. Not every player is desperately seeking friends/surrogate families like LeBron James, and the main reason Carmelo went to N.Y. is because that's where he's from. Durant is no danger of leaving OKC. Zach Randolph is thrilled to be playing in Memphis. If an organization puts together a good team, then people will want to stay. Chris Paul will definitely opt to stay here if our current management stays in place and a harder salary cap is implemented. I will be rooting AGAINST Miami because I want to see their model fail. If the majority of your cap space is spent on 3 superstars, but you have no bench or supporting characters, then I think you'll lose in the NBA. Hopefully, I'll be proven right.
Ugh. Not Miami, any team but Miami. No, here's what would be the best for the Hornets. Memphis wins the NBA title. Because let's face it geographically, it's stupid for Memphis to be in the West. CHICAGO is west of Memphis. Besides, look at it this way. The Lakers and Spurs are broken, and so are the Mavericks. (One time, they do something incredible. After that, they expect everything to just be handed to them.) Who else wishes that the league would give, every year, MN, MEM, and NO their own versions of the "circus road trip" ? Every year: have MN, MEM, and NO all go on this, like 10 game road trip along the West Coast? (OR AT LEAST SCHEDULE AN LA WEEKEND WHERE THEY PLAY BOTH TEAMS IN LA!) It doesn't make any sense. At least give both teams, equal amount of rest. Unless it's an @ Lakers - @ Clippers (or vice versa) the NBA shouldn't schedule anymore back-to-backs where the 2nd night is a road game. It's entirely unfair. It cost the Hornets the Number 1 seed in 07-08 because they had a tough Laker team the first night and then were FLAT for the following night in Sacramento. They lost both, and lost the #1 seed because of those 2 games.
Oh and the knicks and nets are trying to monopolize the league along with those others mentioned^
I love it. This changes my complete perspective. When they all gathered in miami over the summer, I hoped the worst since they manipulated the system. But I completely agree now. Let them manipulate the system so that we may stick it to 'em during the CBA negotiations.
Well Miami is actually my second favorite team behind the Hornets. I can't help but cheer for a team that has 3/5 of my favorite player from the past Olympic team. Also, hate him or not, LeBron is one of the most entertaining players in the league and Wade isn't far behind in that category. With all that said, I love the Hornets FAR more so if Miami wins and it has the effect you suggest all of my aforementioned feelings are merely lagniappe.
I"m kind of repeating what some other posters have indicated ... however ... It never ceases to baffle me how baseball and basketball owners, as self-interested maximizers, don't look over at the NFL and see how collusion, profit sharing, salary caps and limited free agency haven't reaped such incredible benefits to that League, completely separate and apart from how many playoff appearances or Super Bowl trophies a given franchise has. A rising tide lifts all boats. Hasn't it occured to them that the NFL's boom in the last 15 years or so is tied to the fact that all but two or three franchises each year have a legitimate shot to make it not only to the playoffs, but have a deep run??? It seems like all NBA owners should realize this more quickly, them being such successful businessmen and all.
Miami Heat is already an elite franchise. A team that possesses Dwyane Wade and LeBron James together can not be labeled as a defender of the weak and oppressed. Heat's victory is the victory of the elite. So in this case I prefer that the Celtics will be the champion. Another Celtics' title will be the ultimate proof that if nothing is done, the league has 30 teams, but with only three or four (Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Heat) monopolizing everything. And for that landscape is altered, nothing better than a nice CBA to have a more balanced and exciting competition. I think a win would be the Heat's nothing more than a new elite team in a scenario where 25 participating teams only to lose. That's what I think.
Two former Hornet starters from our best season ever got to sweep the Lakers this year. I'm happy.
Can't root for the Heat, never have, never will.
I'm supposed to root for the heat off of the hope that maybe it will sway the owners to think that allowing teams like this to happen is a bad idea? If they don't already see that its a bad idea they have other things to worry about, like how to wipe their ass after they are done popping a squat. If the Heat win they win, if it inadvertently helps the New Orleans Hornets great, but let it be known I never rooted for the Miami Heat. The mere thought is stomach turning
Agree 100% MM! I hate the Heat but if them winning this one title now helps the Hornets and the NBA in the longrun, then I am willing to sell my soul as well!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. My enemy is the force that keeps the NBA locked in to professional sports bridesmaidism. Your argument is sound. I'll say this: I was going to root for them over Dallas anyway.
Since you had the idea, Jake, I guess that means I buy the pie... Pizza, dissecting NBA financials, and metal talk... Bliss...
Great post, and I can't wait to see how it plays out. As I said to Queen Bee, I agree that the Heat winning will encourage superstar players to want to play together (as you put it). But to me, that reenforces my original point more than anything else could. If CP3, Dwight, etc want to form super teams more than ever after seeing Heat win, then the owners will be more assertive if denying that want. Personally I wanna see a system in which the ticket sellers, a.k.a. the superstars, have no limit on what they can make and everyone else's salary is greatly reduced. To me, that is fair. Hornets fans pay to see CP3, not David Anderson. CP3 makes 6 times what DA makes. There are not 6 CP3 fans for every 1 David Anderson fan, there are 600,000 CP3 fans to every DA fan. So why does CP3 have a cap on his earning potential? 45 million dollar hard cap plus one unlimited slot per team. Will never happen because only 30 players out of the nearly 500 would benefit, but that is what it SHOULD be.
Quick! Kick him while he's down! Kick him while he's down! Really though: Agreed. This is top shelf stuff. Economics, labor, game theory, taste and aesthetics, and political philosophy. And a leather ball.
"If the Heat win the title then it shows star players around the league that teaming up is the easiest way to a championship. Dwight Howard (or, even worse, Chris Paul) seeing his buddies having fun and winning a championship is going to make him envious. It's going to make him want to form a super team of his own." This is my thinking as well. This is how I think the players will feel. Maybe they won't but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Jake: I read a good deal of news. With $300m a year net loss, and ~8 team making money, that's at least a $12.5m loss per team among the money-losing teams, but more really since the $300m is a net figure. Add to that a trend of that number increasing from 12, to 17, to 22 in recent years, and you have a super-majortity of money-losers, when they were a sizeable minority just recently. There's no declaration of war among the owners, but the inference is not outlandish. In fact, it'd have to be that way. As for the Heat thing: My simple restatement of Mc's point is that slaughtering teams on the way to a title will just turn up the gain on reading what the Heat 'means'. What it means is a coup. The inmates are running the asylum. This, according to Marx, will scare the Perrier out of the owners. Billionaires, and people like them, don't like to have terms disctated to them, especially by college-drop-out hired help. I don't think policing via 'lessons learned' works. It's not about aggregate behavior; it's about the rogue team's behavior, it's about the ensuing arms race in conditions of great scarcity. There are enough superstars for people to double up. If you don't bring enough superstar for everyone.... As far as this player movement / franchise: Fixing the cap will fix the team stacking. I personally think Mc's point is correct. I can't choose how I root, however, so we'll see what happens. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/15/league-says-22-teams-to-lose-money-300-million-total-this-season/ http://www.businessinsider.com/forbes-17-of-30-nba-teams-lost-money-last-year-2011-1 http://www.aolnews.com/2009/12/10/forbes-12-nba-teams-lost-money-last-season/
That's an interesting perspective. I guess there are pros and cons to miami and a team like OKC winning. I think it comes down to this: would you rather your owners have more control over the star players or would you rather those star players just think they're better off in a small market.
It cost Chris the MVP, too, for what it's worth.
I agree. IF owners need me to root for such an insane group of athletic egos as this JUST so THEY feel the pain of the reality hell they are in, no can do. They need to look elsewhere for their kick in the pants. And I am not so sure the work is going to be all that hard. If the average NBA player thinks he has to satnd behind thses assholes in Miami, or really only a handful of elitest players, then he is more stupid than I thought. I find it hard to believe 80 percent will sell their souls for the 20 percent. No, the mojority will vote for something favorable to all players, not just a glory few that ends up killing their teams and futures. I think most players are as unhappy with last summer as the rest of us.
Seantonio, I'm with you on this one. I find it very difficult, and to a degree, repugnant, to mix my rational desires with my irrational ones. A parallel: I will never do fantasy football. Never have, never will. Why? I never want a rational desire to ever overtake my pure dionysian revelry that is appreciating the Saints. I will never root for Dev to score over Marcus, or the other way around. I will never root for Carolina to stop the Saints, even if the good guys are up 42-0, so that some guy will beat this other guy and I'll avoid the tougher one in the first round of the playoffs. No way. This is all nice, but my heart tells me for whom to root. I'll will appreciate the consequences whatever the outcome, and I mean this evenly, not meaning `like' the consequences. I rooted for Texas over USC in the title games years ago because USC can kiss my ass, even though Texas can kiss my ass well. I rooted for other teams, however, to win on other occasions to send the NCAA into complete chaos. The latter wasn't really in my heart . . . it was just the imp in me. This is higher stakes and plays close to home, but it'll have to be presented before me before my heart tells me where I lean.
It's almost 2 and I'm pissed off and at work, but I'll offer an alternate idea: $H million in hard card money per team, tied to BRI (Basketball related income) $A million in one slot, tied to BRI. Equal across the Association, can be doled out in 2, 3, and 4 year deals, can be re-upped, of course. Owners can drop a guy out after a bad year, owners aren't tied for 6 years like with Bird Sign and Trade deals. Allows bidding by owners with longer deals, keeps owners accountable if plays opt for a 2 and they are a Wade-type, keeps players accoutable if they are a bubble-max guy. Offers stability to team for Duncan-types. Tied to BRI so deals don't get larger when income gets smaller. All deals should be indexed by BRI, as they are now. If this is stupid, I already stated my excuse.
Right- players WILL feel this way, and that is why owners will move quick to ensure the players cant act on this feeling. "Oh Dwight, you wanna team up like your buddies did? Well too bad, you've been hit with the franchise tag."
42... I have not listened to them in any depth. I watched a few of their recorded interviews and really, really like them! Please, if you would over the summer, find a way to keep in touch email wise. Not sure about the email address over the blog. The sight owners an give you mine. I would love to get another friend. That would make 6. Well, 5...I am not so sure about my wife.
Um, that the deluded are destined for their own destruction,right? Now if I get anything right, I can have a star or something? Come on, 42...I need to get something! Off message...I had some good ol boys at my moutain lake house this weekend and they were trying to teach this city kid how to fish. Let's just say it was humbling and the fish are very safe and slightly more fed this morning. And they say I talk to much.
You got it Paul. If the players don't see that the Miami machinations were anything but an assault on them, then they are deluded. If the owners don't see that the Miami machinations were anything but an assault on them, then they are deluded. Reason doesn't reach the deluded. And, yes, I know exactly what the implications of what I'm actually saying are.
Seantonio, I agree 100%. That's my same order of preference as well, other than OKC over Memphis. I think its because they're a division rival. After that, its Atlanta, then Boston.
That Lakers-Mavericks series was a very difficult one for me personally. As I despise the Mavericks and more than anything that smug oompa loompa jason terry, but i digress I hated the Lakers for what they stood for and what they did to my boys in creole blue but I also hated the mavs it was a twister of emotions that im just glad is finally over. I have decided that Memphis is my 1st choice to win it all because i want to see a team prove that going to the mattresses, sweatin it out, grinding off pure determination can win no matter whose names on the back of the jersey. Then I want the thunder cuz they built that team up to what they are w/o cheesing and durants the classiest superstar there is and then ill take hotlanta (dont like them but out of the east who is there to like) and if all else fails give another championship to Boston because really would it change anything they already have like 50
You got it, paul. When I take school out behind the ol' barn, you and I are doing some organized reading... Hmmmm.... Hornets247 book club? Can anyone on here show me how to read?
Barehand them, paul. The big mistake people make is aiming poorly. The fish is actually slightly toward your eyes from where it appears (think pool cleaning apparati). And you are right in the "3 people who've never been in my kitchen" sense (3pwnbimk), but that is not what I meant. What I meant it something 'bad', I suppose. More on that later. However, don't sweat it. It's not supposed to be a Car-Talk-style puzzler. My mom has told me before, and it's true, that I go from A to Z and don't tell anyone. I guess that just happened. 3pwnbimk is a Cheers reference. Cliff was killing it on Jeopardy!, but screwed up in Final Jeopardy. He had to name the stage names of three people, and he didn't know them. Instead, he said the phrase of interest. While correct, it wasn't right. I, frankly, love 3pwnbimk. I was thinking about you this morning, Mr. Pellico. I was listening to Bad Religion and was wondering if you continued to explore their music.

NPR has received nearly $17 million in grants with the intent of increasing coverage of education, global health and development, race, ethnicity and culture.
The public radio platform will also use the money to create a new mobile and web platform in hopes of reaching more listeners and seamlessly maintaining their connection on various devices, the company said.
The grants, from John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Wallace Foundation, Ford Foundation and individual donors, will fund NPR and six member stations: KPCC, KQED, MPR, WBUR, WHYY and WNYC.
"This support will allow NPR to build transformative platforms that secure the future of public media journalism, and represents a powerful vote of confidence for that vision," said Kinsey Wilson, NPR's chief content officer who leads its news, programming, music and digital teams. "We'll be able to dive deep into issues that are at the center of people's lives, and drive tremendous innovation in how we engage people with those issues."

There is a wealth of information about building successful websites.
It's easy to find tutorials, tips, and strategies. You're likely to dig into all those round-up posts talking about monetization methods and whatnot but you have to stop and ask how helpful they are if you can't see how they're actually applied in the real-world.
Case studies and series bloggers and online business owners have put together allows you to fully explore the possibilities. They take you along, by hand, throughout the entire process. This, to me, is infinitely more helpful than just reading a list of tips. You'll feel inspired. It'll light the fire to get you from a passive reader to an active participant.
The following are a few of this case studies and series about building profitable websites …
Viperchill's Triple X Niche Site Case Study
Glen, Diggy, and Mr. V are battling it out to create a successful (profitable) website.
Each of the individuals aims to take a different approach to the website building process and marketing. Diggy will focus solely on SEO, Glen on social, and Mr. V can do whatever he feels fit.
The series has a unique twist due to this restriction on marketing strategies. Each person will have a budget of $500 until the end of 2013, too. There are regular updates at this time which makes it one of the more exciting case studies we've seen in a while.
Check it out: The Triple X Case Study.
Steve Scott's Authority Business Project
Steve Scott, of SteveScottSite.com, is taking a different approach – he's aiming to build a high authority website rather than going too niche.
Steve isn't holding back. He plans to tackle this project through every strategy he's learned over the many years in affiliate marketing and online business. He'll work on product launches, list building, multiple income strategies, and more.
You will find this case study particularly useful if you want to expand your marketing and promotional methods beyond the basics as Steve goes deep into each of the strategies which makes them easy to pick up and implement.

Zac Johnson's 4-Figure Blog Series
Zac is no stranger here on AffiliatePrograms.com. Zac is very active when it comes to building online businesses and profitable websites. This last year he launched on that's now making four figures a month which has spurred him to create a new series about that process.
Over the series (which is still ongoing at the time of this writing) he will reveal the planning process, getting everything setup, writing posts that drive income, and marketing strategies.
There are other series in this list that go deeper into the individual elements but Zac's contribution is perfect if you can't waste time digging through the minutiae.
Check it out: Zac's 4-Figure Monthly Blog Series.
Pat Flynn's Niche Site Duel
Pat really hit it big with the previous Niche Site Duel series which helped to catapult him into making six figures a month. The site, SecurityGuardTrainingHQ.com, became wildly successful; it's a great example of finding a specific niche and really dominating the market through value and long-tail keywords.
Part 2 of the series has started not too long ago. This time around many strategies have been reworked due to changes in search engine algorithms.
Others are welcome to join in on the duel which is perfect if you're teetering on whether to give it a shot – having the community there will certainly push you forward in getting things done.

Spencer Haw's Niche Site Project Series
Last, but certainly not least, is the niche site project series Spencer Haw, of NichePursuits.com, pieced together. If you want attention to detail then this is the series I'd recommend having a go.
Spencer goes deep into all aspects of building a profitable website. As of his last income report, September 2013, his site is pulling in around $800 a month. If you want to get on board with this then I'd highly recommend you start right from the beginning and pay particular attention to the keyword research portions as they will dictate how everything else will go down.

ROME , June 9 (UPI) -- Restoration work on the Trevi Fountain, one of Rome's signature tourist attractions, has begun and will continue for about 18 months.
The baroque fountain, built between 1730 and 1762, will undergo a complete restoration that will include the draining of water where tourists traditionally toss coins for luck. It was refurbished in 1998, but is part of a current renewal campaign to completely restore some of Rome's public architectural antiquities.
A metal fence now surrounds the fountain, and tourists can watch the restoration in progress. A walkway above the central part of the fountain, which is 86 feet wide and 161 feet long, will also be available to visitors.
The Trevi Fountain has appeared in numerous films, most notably 1960's La Dolce Vita, in which actress Anita Ekberg dove in to dance.
The restoration is being underwritten by the Italian luxury fashion company Fendi in a manner similar to the jeweler Bulgari's financing of the renovation of Rome's Spanish Steps, as well as the renewal of the Colosseum, paid for by shoe entrepreneur Diego Della Valle of Tod's Group.

Unable to play dvd's via HDMI
I can't play dvd's when I connect my laptop (HP dv7 series, Win7 Pro x64) to a TV (a Toshiba I think) via HDMI. If I disconnect the HDMI-cable I can play dvd's in both WMP and VLC as normal. When I connect the HDMI-cable I can see my desktop on the TV but I can't play dvd's in neither WMP nor VLC. Both WMP and VLC acts as if the dvd's are a corrupt or unsupported file, except for the lack of a warning.

Power outages come in all flavors. Some outages are planned, some are the results of mother nature kicking up a storm, and some are the unexpected result of a natural or man-made crisis. Whatever the reason, there are various measures you should take now to insure your comfort and safety when the power blows.
First the basics:
- Flashlights
- Batteries
- Candles
- Matches
- Blankets
This is the short list. Unless you have been living with your head in the sand, these items are already set aside so that they will be readily available when the lights blink off. And for a three or four hour outage, you will be just fine with these items.
But what if the power is lost for a longer period of time – for whatever reason – how will you cook your food? How will you keep warm? How will you insure your safety in dark? These are just a few of the issues you will face if there is an extended power outage. Add infants, the elderly or the infirm to the mix and you have a big problem on your hands.
Today I would like to offer some very basic suggestions and ideas for preparing your household for an extended power outage. My goal is to get those wheels cranking (in your brain, that is) and to provide you with a starter checklist of suggestions that can be implemented in stages as your needs and budget allow.
1. Store foods that your family normally eats without warming, heating or cooking. Suggestions? Canned chicken or tuna (although given the recent events of Fukushima, I would be wary of new tuna purchases right now), cold cereals, peanut butter, crackers, canned fruits and veggies. The list is endless but let me caution you: if you gag at the thought of cold ravioli out of a can now, you will also gag if you have to eat it in an emergency, power out situation. Don't be silly – store foods that are meant to be eaten cold or at room temperature. And don't forget the manual can opener.
2. Acquire one or more alternate cooking sources such a fire pit, charcoal barbeque or camp stove. We are lucky that we have a propane cook top in our kitchen that can easily be lit with a match. In addition, we have a Patina Cast Iron Fire Pit that is set up for cooking, a couple of butane stoves, a gas grill, and a Volcano Stove on order.
3. Have at least one lantern that will cast a wide beam that will fill a room with brightness when the sun goes down. (We have both a Coleman propane lantern and a battery driven lantern.)
4. Store fuel for your chosen energy device. This could be wood for the fire pit, propane cylinders for the gas grill, or 100 pounds of charcoal. It could also be a bank of batteries for your lantern. The point is to store fuel – you are going to need it. One more point: educate yourself on the proper storage of fuel. All of the food in the world will not help you one bit if you blow yourself to bits.
5. Blankets are good but a nice toasty sleeping bag or down comforter is better. And a heavy jacket, plus socks are good, too. It is easy to strip down when the temperatures soar – not that that is the optimal way to keep cool – but when you are cold, you need to bundle up and stay warm.
6. Invest in a generator. We recently invested in a 10 kw whole house generator that will automatically power our home during the frequent outages on our island. Think it won't happen to you? A few years back, the city of Seattle was dark for almost a week. It can happen to anyone, any time. (More on the saga of the generator in another post – what an ordeal.)
A portable generator can be purchased for as little as $500 or $600 and the sky is the limit after that. We know people that have spent over $10,000 on a whole house generator (not us). Just keep in mind that the installation by a qualified electrician is probably going to cost as much as the generator itself. Your mileage may vary but in our case, budgeting and saving for a year was worth the cost.
7. If you have the proper sun exposure, the budget and the space, consider solar power as a backup to your local power grid. Many local utilities, states, and yes, even the federal government offer financial incentives and policies that promote renewable energy. It is worth checking in to.
Okay. So we have covered basic power needs. But what are some of the other essentials that you will want to have on hand during a power outage?
How about the following:
- Battery operated or Hand Crank Radio. Remember, without power, there may be no way to use your computers plus your DSL or cable service is likely to be kaput at well.
- Solar Battery Charger . Very handy for charging cell phones.
- Amusements. Books, games and playing cards. My favorite? A couple of decks of Canasta cards .
- The Spirit of Adventure. Okay, I had to throw that in. Let's face it, a positive attitude plus your emergency preps will help you soldier through an extended power outage.
I hope these ideas will start you on the road to thinking about a power outage and how you can prepare to keep yourself warm, light, and well during a power outage. And once you are prepared, I suggest you pop up a big pot of popcorn and get yourself a copy of the movie "The Trigger Effect ". I saw this film when it first came out and still find it chilling. Here a synopsis:
"Do yourself a favor and buy some canned goods, a flashlight, and a radio before you watch this film. Unfairly dismissed by the critics and missed by the public, this pre-Y2K suspense film is a chilling, sobering experience that will turn any practical person into a paranoid, apocalyptic loon. When the power goes out in the big city and society starts to break down, husband and wife Matthew and Annie find out that not even suburbia is safe."
Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!
Backdoor Survival Tip of the Day: I am enamored with duct tape. Give me some tie wraps, Elmer's glue, WD-40 and tie wraps and I can fix almost anything. It should come as no surprise to learn that I included duct tape in my Backdoor Survival kit over at SurvivalGearBags.com. One of the ways I use duct tape is to temporarily patch leaks in plumbing hoses that always tend to leak and drip when Survival Husband is not around to fix the problem. From tacking up plastic sheeting, to using it as a lint picker-upper, duct tape in an essential in my tool box, the car of my trunk and my emergency kit.
From the Bargain Bin: Amazon still has the Kingston 4GB flash drive for $7.95 (you need one for your survival docs) and the Lodge 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet is $18.97. And finally, the price of the price of 20 Gallon size Mylar Bags & Oxygen Absorbers. The price is now $16.99, down almost $5 from a month ago.
And finally, don't forget to check out Emergency Essentials for your long term storage food items. Check out the July specials, including 20% off on prepackaged meals.

Why do people demand health?
This paper proposes several ways to extend the standard model for health and health services. Psychological aspects such as status seeking, identity seeking and health adaptation are modelled within the framework of the Grossman model. While the two first aspects may be important psychological mechanisms, the adaptation process seems to be the most relevant process to model within a theoretical dynamic framework. As far as we know, there are no formal analyses of this process in the economic literature.

Tuesday's 6th race from Turf Paradise is a $13,000 Allowance event for 2-year-old fillies which have never won two races. They will be dashing six furlongs on the main track.
#2 Flashy Prize (4-1) has run well in all four starts including a romping local maiden win and a wide place finish vs. this kind last time. Her connections are easy to like and the addition of blinkers may help her focus better. She could sit the right tactical trip at a hint of a price.
The Plays:
$12 to win, $18 to place #2
