Cape Breton put on a fine showing at East Coast Music Week 2011. Artists and Industry professional alike took home a number of awards and gave performances to rave reviews again this year.

Celtic Colours and CBMIC presented eight award winning acts from Cape Breton island. Many genres were represented including the traditional song and tune writing of Buddy MacDonald and Rachel Davis, the celtic rock dance machine The Colin Grant Band and salt water funk veterans Slowcoaster. The show was a fantastic success thanks to the hard working boards and staff of Celtic Colours International Festival and CBMIC.

One suspect was also shot and critically hurt, according to CHP Sgt. Diana McDermott. Both the officer and the suspect were taken to hospitals, said McDermott.
The shooting prompted the closure of Interstate 680 in both directions in the Walnut Creek area. Northbound lanes reopened around 1:00 p.m. Southbound lanes remain closed, and there was no estimate yet for when they would reopen.
The CHP said officers located a 1998 black Nissan Maxima with license plate number 5TZB244 at an undisclosed location in Danville. No word yet on the whereabouts of the driver, identified as 35-year-old Daisi Garcia.
McDermott said the officer is male, but did not have additional information on him or the suspect who was shot.McDermott said it appears the shooting was preceded by a traffic stop, and that gunfire was exchanged by the CHP officer and the suspect.
Contra Costa County Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said the shooting happened near the Livorna Road exit off I-680 in Alamo at around 8:30 a.m.
The CHP said I-680 was closed in both directions at Rudgear Road. Traffic was at a standstill on 680 in Walnut Creek and on surrounding city streets.

Beer bag
My roommate (an otherwise awesome person) is obsessed with her boyfriend, and he came up this weekend, so I opted to stay with a friend. Monday morning, when he still hadn't left, I had to get my books and do homework in the basement of our building (only common space available) and it's fucking cold. When I went in to get my sweater at 10:30 am, they were fucking in my bed, so I 'accidentally' knocked a half empty can of the shitty beer he brought into his bag. aww, so sorry! see you next weekend!
My friend and I always like to mess with each other. One day I had met this girl and things were going pretty well, but because I knew he used to be into her, I asked to see if it was ok. He promptly gave me the thumbs up, but, as part of our ongoing prank war, texted her asking her out for me, when we barely knew eachother. It quickly weirded her out and ruined my chances, but...

SUMMIT, Miss. (AP) - Biflex Intimates Group will auction the contents of two buildings in Pike County that was once a garment distribution center.
The center was operated by a Biflex associate company, Genco.
County administrator Andrew Alford tells the Enterprise-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/Rq3w4F) that the county-owned buildings at Summit and Fernwood are in excellent condition.
Genco leased the buildings from the county. Genco managed garment distribution for Biflex, shipping women's lingerie made overseas to retailers.
In August, Komar Brands bought Biflex and said it would relocate the warehouse operations to California.
Alford says the closure means the loss of 75 jobs.
Alford says Biflex plans to sell most of its equipment at auction sometime in January or February.
Biflex took over the distribution centers from Kellwood in 2005 and hired Genco to operate them.

A lot of what you say is true, but when was it ever any better? Humans have always tried to get away with bad behaviour and the powerful taking advantage of the masses. The past was not as rosey as you picture it. Progress is slow and tedious, and there has always been unlawful activity to deal with. We are living in different times and have different problems to deal with. I wish people would stop making the past something to idolize, because there has always been greed, corruption, fraud and selfishness. I think it's too bad that we can't learn from the past instead of trying to emulate it.
Hi again Edie. It's called "Human Nature" We were bestowed with free will and were given 10 simple laws to live by. But man always wants to control man. In the past we all had to work hard, no health care but what your mother, using herbs, mixed up for your family. No welfare for the dead beats (root or die). But then came along the people that think they know better and want to rule man outside Gods law. Welfare, free housing ect... now we are on the verge of collapse. It was better in the early days of this republic. Hard work was the ethic of the day and all were free. Now don't throw the slave thing at me, man has been enslaving man long before this republic was formed and remember, we ended it in the western hemisphere in just 100 years after inception. Slavery was practice for thousand of years. I think our founders did a great job setting the foundation of freedom.

OGDEN -- With summer coming to close, a new season is dawning for the Weber State University volleyball team.
Led by six returning players and seven newcomers, the Wildcats will get their 2012 season under way on Friday in Logan in the five-team Utah State Invitational.
First serve for Weber State is set for 4:30 p.m. at the Smith Spectrum on the campus of Utah State University.
"We are excited to get this season started," Weber State coach Tom Peterson. "This is what we have been looking forward to since two-a-days started. We want and we need to compare ourselves against other teams, so we can see where our strengths and weaknesses are."
Among the Wildcats' returning players is senior setter Caitlin Penrod, who averaged 7.81 assists per set last year, and was one of the team's top blockers.
Weber State returns two of its top three point scorers, with junior Briana Wilms (2.03 kills per set, 95 total blocks) and senior Dama Cox (1.74 kills per set, 77 total blocks) back on the court for the Purple and White.
Cox was the 2011 Big Sky Conference newcomer of the year.
Also returning is junior outside hitter Shane (Langston) Burgin, junior libero/outside hitter Piper Wahlin and sophomore defensive specialist McKay Tarbox.
"We have the talent in our gym to make it an exciting season," Peterson said. "We have to mature quickly in several areas for us to be a good team compared to other more seasoned teams."
Weber State will feature seven new faces on the court this season, with middle blocker Audrey Gee and outsider hitter Elysse Virden set to make their debuts for the Purple and White after sitting out last season as freshmen.
The Wildcats brought in five new players, four of whom transferred to Weber State, and Whitney Hunt, a true freshman setter signee from Amarillo, Texas.
"We have added three players to our roster who can hit hard and that will help our offense this year," Peterson said. "We also added a player who will help us on defense and serve-receive. Our true freshman setter is going to be a good, and the rest of us are better and more mature than last year.
"All-in-all, I think we will be considerably better than last season. We seem to have good team chemistry, which may be the one ingredient that will help us win some of the tough matches as we sincerely pull for each other to do well. Team cohesion can be a big factor in a team sport such as volleyball."
The newcomers include two players, senior libero Laurel Bodily and redshirt-freshman outside hitter Rebecca Fuchs, who transferred in the spring and were able to spend the spring practice season integrating with the team.
Bodily played her first three seasons at Utah State, and will make her official Wildcat debut on the same court she played on earlier in her career. Fuchs joined Weber State after spending the fall of her freshman year at Utah.
Also transferring to Ogden are Mariah Katoa, who redshirted as a freshman at Brigham Young University, and Audrey Biggs, who spent her freshman season playing for Wichita State.
"We have to be able to pass well so that we can take advantage of our fast offense that we are trying to run," Peterson said. "I look forward to being very competitive in our conference this season, especially if we can serve and serve-receive at a decent level of play."
Weber State will played its first 12 matches away from home, including three tournaments and a road trip to in-state rival Utah Valley during the opening three weeks of the season.
After the Wildcats take on Portland in their season opener, they will face in-state rivals Utah (noon) and Utah State (7:30 p.m.) in their second and third matches at the Utah State Invite.
Southern Utah will also compete in the tournament, but will not play the Wildcats now that the two teams are conference opponents in the Big Sky.
Weber State will also travel to Pullman, Wash., to take part in the Cougar Challenge hosted by Washington State, and Hammond, La., as part of the Southeastern Lion Classic.
The Wildcats' 2012 home debut will also be their Big Sky opener against SUU, which will be making its Big Sky debut.
"I hope to see our faster offense being effective (early on)," Peterson said. "We are taking a chance by trying to be very fast to the pins. We have to be more precise in our passing and ball control. Watch for the faster balls set out side.
"The other system to watch for is that of our swing blocking system. We are using what we are calling a 'chicken wing' swing blocking system, where we swing our arms while blocking balls that are not just in front of where the blocker is starting. We don't take a full swing block, but rather a cut-off swing where the arms don't straighten out. That's why we call it a 'chicken wing block.' "
The 'Cats' blocking was one of the strongest improvements the team made last season, with the team averaging 2.84 blocks per set.
"We will win by committee this year and we consider any individual accolades as team recognition or team awards," Peterson said.

Author Bio
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over one hundred million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año.

Stories of Gumption is a regular column that profiles individuals who admirably demonstrate Gumption as we define it. These are the stories of real people who exhibit gumption in overcoming personal challenges, and validate the spirit of Gumption during their journey. Let's take inspiration from those who seize 100% personal responsibility and show us how to live a life that exhibits Gump-like character traits worthy of applause!
During Christmas week I was gumping in Monterey at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. A grandmotherly looking woman approached with her husband, some family members, and other friends. We had a normal interaction as group pictures were taken, good-natured jokes exchanged, and lots of smiles and laughter lightened the day.
As the assemblage started to wind down, this same woman approached, looking as if she wanted to share something personal. She said, "A lot of people compare me to Forrest Gump." Now I've heard thousands of Gump stories in my fifteen years portraying Forrest, so I raised an eyebrow as if to prompt her, 'Go on with your story.' She proclaimed, "People say I'm like Forrest Gump because I walked all the way across America."
From Blaine, Washington, to Key West, Florida: 4,026.5 miles. One year, two months, eleven days, and six hours!
Now I'm frequently amused by people's stories … but rarely does a story launch me off the bench and make me plead, "May I share your walk in my Stories of Gumption blog series?" She graciously consented.
Here is Lyn Hanush's Putting a Face On America, The Great American Journey – the journey of three women who walked across America.

Be careful what you wish for.
No one presented other minorities with TV channels. BET and TV One were originated by black entrepreneurship. BET was sold out to a corporation which then put caricatures of black people on it. Caricatures played by black actors for the mockery and pleasure of a largely white audience. You know...like "black face" without the makeup. Even worse, images of blacks as criminals.
That the thing. To succeed you would have to be as willing to put up with allot of "red face". You would need to be willing to put up with allot of feathers and leathers. Without those things, to a frightening number of people, Indians just look Latino. Would that really be good? To succeed such a channel would have to present a image of American Indians that the mass market can be comfortable with.
The grass is pretty dang wilted on either side of the fence.

How does African Mango Plus Works?
African Mango Plus is the best inhibitor of hunger which exceeds any expectation; it allows the body to lose weight by means of increasing the metabolic rate of the body. African Mango Plus transforms food in energy and avoids the increment of weight helping to keep a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI). The formula of African Mango Plus includes two hormones, these are adiponectin and leptin. Leptin is a hormone which regulates appetite and counteracts the excessive production of appetite hormones decreasing the anxiety for having a meal when it is not necessary.
African Mango Plus also is responsible for preventing the accumulation of body fat on areas of especial care like waist and hips, therefore it does not only helps to maintain a healthy BMI, but it also helps to keep a slim figure, reducing in this way the risks for diseases related to obesity. The second hormone, adiponectin, is released on the blood stream to get rid of LDL cholesterol, lipids and triglycerides.
The formula of African Mango Plus has been developed based on the information provided by a variety of clinical trials of each ingredient. Many clinical studies have proven that leptin is leading the correct weight management. It works efficiently by means of increasing metabolic activities of the body in order to transform aliments into energy. This is great advantage for a person with a very active lifestyle, since more energy will be provided for daily activities. Obese persons present a lack of leptin on their bodies, therefore most of the time they feel the anxiety of eating and a tendency of eating in excess.
Leptin hormone was discovered on 1994, and it has been found that it works as a lipostato, which means that when the amount of fat stored on the adipocytes increases, leptin is released on blood stream, which constitutes the trigger or sign that informs the hypothalamus that body has enough fat reserves and therefore appetite must be suppressed.
When the mass of adipose tissue increases overcoming the point of equilibrium, the secretion and synthesis of the leptin increase too producing the stimulation of a variety of compensating effects on the hypothalamus such as the decrement of appetite produced by the stimulation of anorexigenic peptides and the increase of energy expenditure increasing the basal metabolic rate and the corporal temperature and additionally modifying the point of hormonal balance in order to reduce lipogenesis (the production of fats) and increase lipolysis (use of accumulated fat to produce energy) on the adipose tissue.
After the discovery of this hormone, most of the researches based on leptin are destined to use it as a regulator factor for the weight of the body. The special formulation of African Mango Plus also includes elements such as L-theanine which is extracted from green tea. The combination of all the elements of African Mango Plus will not only help you to lose weight naturally but they will provide you additional protection from certain types of cancer.

Failing QualityPros: Used to have good quality. Installed one set for 2 1/2 years with no problem. Cons: Ordered another set to double the memory of the old system. Had to return the first order because memtest was returning over 30 errors. Newegg sent me another set and memtest returned with zero error at first. One week later and system started to crash. Ran memtest again and it's now showing 1 error. Other Thoughts: Threw out the plastic box by accident and have to go through corsair rma system. Hopefully the corsair will send me better quality ones. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works greatPros: I bought this 3x2 pack for my machine just shy of three years ago. Set it to 1600mhz and forget it. Runs fantastic. Not that I need it, but I'm entertaining the idea of buying another 3x2 pack since this worked out so well. Cons: None. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very NicePros: Great RAM. I've had this running in a machine for 4 years now with no flaws or failures. For the price it's at now, it's just a steal. Cons: First order came DOA, sent it back and got a new set in no time. Other Thoughts: -ASUS P6T7 WS SUPERCOMPUTER Motherboard 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Switched my ram latency? CORSAIR FAILPros: I had this set 3x2gb for almost 2 years in my i7 920 system. I could tweak it to 8-8-8-20 1t. overclocked 9-9-9-24-1t up to 1760mhz on 1.675v Cons: I bought another set recently. I cannot get 8-8-8-20 1t or 2t. I figured, maybe because Im using more sticks. WRONG. Other Thoughts: sticking with gskill and ocz like I knew I should have. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Corsair Prevails.Pros: Nice stable and reliable RAM. All sticks passed over 3 hours of Memtest86+ v4.2 with no errors, what-so-ever. Cons: None at all. Other Thoughts: I do NOT see a need to overclock this ram. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works GreatPros: I've been running 12 Gigs (6 X 2 Gigs) for a year and a half with no issues @ 1600. Cons: None Other Thoughts: What else is there to say. Snappy RAM. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
2 Years Later and Still RunningPros: Purchased 6gb over 2 years ago and all are running flawlessly still. Cons: None 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Had 1 stick go badPros: Fast. Cons: Started having random blue screens a while back. After BIOS upgrade, started happening more often. Finally got around to troubleshooting it, and found out 1 of the 3 Corsair sticks had gone bad. In comparison. I also have 3 Patriot sticks in my PC (purchased 3 months earlier). They are still rock solid. Probably won't be buying Corsair again any time soon. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Solid performersPros: Works. That's really it. Solid 1600 ram, all ram tested clean, worked great until I decided to go with 32gb ram. Sleek and stylish. If you are specifically looking for 3x2gb ram sets, this is a solid one to pick up at 1600. Cons: None really Other Thoughts: Great ram. Would recommend to others. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Fantastically fast, cheap and looks nice Cons: I might be the odd man out, but I've had several sticks of Corsair fail lately. Starting to seriously question their reliability. Did you find this review helpful? |

Brickmaster Star Wars Battle for the Stolen Crystals
Brickmaster Star Wars Battle for the Stolen Crystals
Posted by Huw, 22 Aug 2013 03:43. Filed under Book review.
The tenth Dorling Kindserley Brickmaster book, Star Wars Battle for the Stolen Crystals, has just been published. Like the others, it has a thick front cover which holds a bag containing (in this case) 189 LEGO parts with which to build the projects in the book, which consists of cartoon strips and step-by-step instructions.
The book follows the story of Commander Gree chasing a commando droid, who has stolen some lightsaber crystals, across the galaxy. There are four sets of two models to build: 'Battle in the Canyons' (V-19 Torrent and Separatist cannon); 'Ambush in the Forest' (WT-RT walker and Vespula fighter); 'Desert Attack' (Desert Speeder and Ph-STAP) and 'Ice Mountain Chase' (Ice Speeder and KD81 Cargo Skiff).
It comes with two minifigs, the aforementioned Commander Gree and a commando droid. They have both appeared in sets before, Gree in the Genosian Cannon from 2012 and the droid in a 2012 battle pack and BARC speeder.
The four sets of models are illustrated on the back cover:
None of them are particularly exciting and I suspect many of the vehicles have been made up especially for this book and do not exist outside of it.
The 'Desert Attack' pair featured on the cover looked most interesting, so that's what I built first. The speeder, below, is not too bad...
.. but the STAP is a bit lame, and as you can see the droid does not stand on it particularly well.
I can't say I was overly impressed with the book or the models and from an AFOL perspective, unless you're a Brickmaster book completist (like me), there's no real reason to buy it. However, the target audience of young boys will love it and will get a lot of enjoyment out of building and rebuilding the models, even if they are a bit contrived.
It's available from Amazon and you'll find it, and all other Brickmaster books, listed on our Amazon books page. (If the page is blank, disable your ad blocker).

Amid all of the new enthusiasm for European stocks, a J.P. Morgan client note out Monday offers up the bank's top picks.
The bank's favorites include energy stocks such as Total /quotes/zigman/167958 FR:FP /quotes/zigman/167990 /quotes/nls/tot TOT , materials plays such as Rio Tinto /quotes/zigman/155899 UK:RIO /quotes/zigman/182541 /quotes/nls/rio RIO and industrials such as Airbus parent EADS /quotes/zigman/262288 FR:EAD .
Analysts at J.P. Morgan also recommend discretionary names such as Volkswagen /quotes/zigman/150411 DE:VOW3 /quotes/zigman/150423 /quotes/nls/vlkay VLKAY and Publicis Groupe /quotes/zigman/135224 FR:PUB /quotes/zigman/266757 /quotes/nls/pubgy PUBGY , as well as Bayer /quotes/zigman/560388 DE:BAYN within health care.
Their top picks among financials include Allianz /quotes/zigman/143088 DE:ALV , Societe Generale /quotes/zigman/167398 FR:GLE /quotes/zigman/131398 /quotes/nls/scgly SCGLY and UBS /quotes/zigman/411416 CH:UBSN /quotes/zigman/411392 /quotes/nls/ubs UBS .
Overall, the analysts provide a list of 32 recommended European stocks. The categories that have the most recommended names at five stocks each are industrials (beyond EADS, another pick is easyJet /quotes/zigman/9024337 UK:EZJ ), discretionary and financials.
J.P. Morgan's broad thesis is that rising yields should continue to provide a tailwind to European equities and help ensure that cyclicals and financials lead the way. "Rather than detracting from the appeal of equities, rising yields were needed to jumpstart the long-awaited reversal in flows," the analysts wrote in their note, referring to equity flows now beating bond flows.
Value stocks should be given more weight than growth stocks, the analysts also wrote. "After 6 years of continuous underperformance value style could start to pick up," they said. "Historically, value tended to outperform in the environment of rising bond yields and rising PMIs."
Investors generally should steer clear of the defensive sectors within European stocks, since they don't show a strong positive correlation to bond yields, the analysts said. The note says: "All 4 main defensives – telecoms, staples, healthcare and utilities – display negative correlation to bond yields. Within defensives, we are in particular cautious on so-called 'bond proxies,' i.e. utilities and telecoms."
Note that European stocks still have doubters here and there. But the takeaway is there are some stocks with potential as Europe returns to growth.

More than 40,000 join protests
Jakarta Post - March 27, 2012
"We have received reports on the number of protesters in the country today. So far, it has reached 40,800. The number can increase or decrease as the day goes on. In Jakarta alone, the confirmed number is 8,000," National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Saud Usman Nasution said Tuesday.
He said 127 demonstrations were scheduled for today, out of which 21 demonstrations would take place in the capital, 24 in East Java, 18 in West Java, nine in South Sulawesi and eight in North Sumatra.
"The protesters will come from various backgrounds. They will include supporters of political parties, university students, worker union members, fishermen and many more," Saud told The Jakarta Post via telephone.
To support police personnel charged with maintaining security, Indonesian Military officers would be standing guard as planned. They would be protecting vital areas, such as the State Palace, he added.
According to Saud, in Bandung, West Java, the local police are tightening security at the Gedung Sate gubernatorial office and the Regional House of Representatives compound.
In Medan, following yesterday's occupation of the Polonia airport by protesters, the police are intensifying security measures. "We recommend that passengers use the airport's side entrance to avoid being stuck in the protesters' rally," Saud said. (tas)

NBA PM: Spain, Turkey Top Threats in 2012
It's not enough for the US Men's Basketball Team to simply win gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Americans unashamedly demand mayhem.
We want to revel in our utter dominance. Violent dunks, playground flair, playing to the camera; whatever it takes to impress upon the entire planet that they aren't fit to share a court with us. We don't even really care about winning. Winning is neutral to a country that has taken gold 13 times. When the game comes to a merciful conclusion, we want opposing coaches to apologize to Mike Krzyzewski for wasting his team's time.
But the US National Team isn't invincible. Outside of the 1980 Moscow Games—which America boycotted— it has two legitimate failures on the resume: 1988 and 2004. (The USSR won gold in 1972 thanks to the infamously controversial officiating in the Gold Medal game). The US had a talented roster in both disappointments (David Robinson, Mitch Richmond and Dan Majerle in 1988; LeBron James, Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson in 2004) but was ultimately undone in each case by chemistry issues and a stiffer competition (Arvydas Sabonis and the USSR in 1988 and Manu Ginobili and Argentina—among others—in 2004).
The "Redeem Team" put the natural order, as we see it, back into effect at the 2008 Beijing Games, but it's foolish to think that will automatically happen again next summer. Considering the improvements made by the Spanish and Turkish teams in recent years, an undefeated record and even (gasp) the gold aren't necessarily in the bag.
Here are the biggest threats to Krzyzewski's squad in 2012:
Spain: Don't judge the Spanish by the last five minutes of Monday's loss to Turkey at EuroBasket. The world's second-ranked team boasts NBA stars Pau Gasol, Rudy Fernandez, Ricky Rubio, Jose Calderon, Marc Gasol and recently nationalized Serge Ibaka. But, of course, we're discussing international play, which means heady point guards like former Memphis Grizzly Juan Carlos Navarro tend to make the biggest impacts. Through five games of EuroBasket Navarro is averaging 14.8 PPG and 3.2 APG while making 14 of 33 attempts from 3-point range.
But as deep as Spain's backcourt is, its real advantage is in the post where the Gasol brothers, Ibaka and even Felipe Reyes and former Blazers draft pick Victor Claver tower over almost every other team. And unlike in 1992, when Chuck Daly's roster included both Patrick Ewing and David Robinson, America isn't currently loaded with centers. Dwight Howard intends to play again next summer, which is critical as he was the only legitimate 5 on the roster in 2008. Krzyzewski enlisted the help of Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love to win at the 2010 World Championships. The pair was more than enough to win gold and earn an automatic bid to the 2012 Olympic Games but that was before Spain added Ibaka. By next summer Nets center Brook Lopez, Thunder center Kendrick Perkins or even Al Jefferson and Amar'e Stoudemire could be called upon to add frontcourt depth.
Spain's biggest issue may be shooting. Besides Navarro, the team lacks a real long-distance threat. Fernandez has his moments from beyond the arc, but isn't consistent enough to continuously pull defenses away from the paint.
Turkey: American basketball fans are already acquainted with Hedo Turkoglu, but it's the lesser-known Turkish players that make this squad so dangerous.
Bulls center Omer Asik finished 20th in the NBA in rebounding rate last season, Enes Kanter was taken by the Jazz with the third pick in last June's draft and Ersan Ilyasova has earned his reputation as the junkyard dog of the Bucks roster. In other words, Krzyzewski can't expect to finesse this team and get away with it. Turkey has strong, aggressive big men who won't hesitate to knock a Chris Bosh or Lamar Odom out of the paint. And as Spain discovered in its 65-57 loss on Monday, it's not easy to score against Turkey. Spain made just 38.2% of its field goals and just four of 17 attempts from 3-point range.
The Turkish defense took a misstep against Lithuania and Poland yet somehow looked almost invincible on Monday. The Achilles' heel in both losses seemed to be the play of Turkey's guards. Lithuania was able to hit five of 12 3-point attempts while Turkey's backcourt failed to make one from beyond the arc. Shooting guard Omer Onan managed to hit one 3-pointer against Poland, which responded with a 10-for-22 mark from range.
This is the type of team that would have beaten the 2004 US Men's National squad. They're not going to win on talent alone, but they're very tough to beat without good outside shooting.
Lithuania: Balanced-scoring, timely shooting, solid defense and smart passing make Lithuania any coach's favorite. Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas hasn't been able to contribute much during EuroBasket (he's played a total of 65 minutes, appearing in four of five games and scoring a total of 28 points, blocking three shots and grabbing 13 rebounds) but power forwards Kristof Lavrinovic and Darius Songaila have kept the Lithuanians respectable on the boards. Valanciunas has another season to improve before the Olympics as well, so it he could be handling the center position for Kestutis Kemzura's team next summer.
As usual, the Lithuanians have a lot of savvy guards that might not be household names in America like shooting guards Martynas Pocius, Rimantas Kaukenas, point guard Mantas Kalnietis and combo guard and former Warrior and Pacer Sarunas Jasikevicius.
Russia: The Russians are still undefeated at EuroBasket and could be on the verge of reemerging as a world basketball power. In addition to the veteran leadership of Andrei Kirilenko, Viktor Khryapa has transformed himself into the team's point forward and Aleksey Shved seems poised to take over the reigns at point guard next summer. Shooting guard Vitaliy Fridzon should be of particular concern to Russian opponents as he's hit 12 of 18 3-point attempts during EuroBasket. Throw in Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov, and Russia is suddenly a serious contender for a medal in 2012.
Argentina: The players are the same (Luis Scola, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Delfino, etc.) but Ruben Magnano, the man who guided Argentina to gold in 2004, now coaches the Brazilian squad. Of course, the bigger issue for this squad is age. The vast majority of the team was born in the 1970s and Delfino, who will be turning 30 before next year's Olympics, is the youngest contributor on the roster.
Brazil: Marcelo Huertas, Guilherme Giovannoni, Alex Garcia and Spurs center Tiago Splitter make Brazil respectable, but this squad won't go anywhere unless Leandro Barbosa, Nene and Anderson Varejao are all healthy and contributing. In other words, the NBA lockout helps Brazil's chances.
Other possible threats to America's supremacy include: Germany, Greece, Australia and possibly Venezuela.
Check Out: Chris Sheridan
Chris Sheridan has been making it look easy for years. One of the coolest, most-respected and flat-out best reporters to cover the NBA, Sheridan has moved on from ESPN to launch Sheridanhoops.com.
Here is his description of what to expect from himself and contributors Mark Heisler, Peter May, Nick Gibson, scout Tony Ronzone and editor Karel Schurman:
"After six years at ESPN and 18 years at the Associated Press, I have gone independent to continue to do what I have been doing for the bulk of my adult life — providing NBA and international basketball news, commentary and in-depth analysis, giving my readers links to the best basketball articles out there each day, while also allowing for the voices of the visitors to this site to reach a broad, worldwide audience. Is this a blog? Yes, sort of. But this is a site that will break news, too, publish dispatches and commentary from around the globe from a staff of distingued correspondents and contributors, while also soliciting your contributions. (Example: Deadspin wouldn't be Deadspin without the weekly Funbag, and there will be a place for something similar here). It is a new world for me, one with total editorial freedom. I hope you are as excited to be here as I am."
Sheridan's first piece, titled "NBA Lockout Update: Sides are closer than they're saying," is up, and is definitely worth a read.

25th anniversary
Community Caregivers celebrates 25 years of service in Londonderry
Community Caregivers of Greater Derry, located in the Derry Masonic Temple, has proven a godsend for area seniors struggling to maintain their independence.
Volunteers assist their homebound clients with rides to medical appointments, household chores and anything else they might happen to need.
"It's hard to believe it all began in one room in a Londonderry office park," Executive Director Cindee Tanuma said, noting that at one time the organization's headquarters consisted of one small room with two part-time staff members.
"We treat all of them like an extension of our family," Tanuma said. "That's what we're all about."
A former air traffic controller, Pierce said he jumped at the opportunity to lend a hand.
"I just wanted to give back," he said.
"It's a good feeling to help someone else," he said. "We're all going to get there one day, and there could come a day when I'll be the one needing help."
During a visit to Derry Fest, Foley stopped by the Caregivers booth where she chatted with volunteers and staff members. She was immediately intrigued.
"It's a nice feeling to be able to help empower someone," Foley added.
Vincent Smith, chairman of the Community Caregivers board of directors, said there's a constant need for additional volunteers as the organization continues to grow.

Compare South Pasadena Car Insurance Prices With These Methods
Are you intimidated by the sheer number of car insurance choices in South Pasadena? Many other drivers are as well. People have so many options that it can turn into more work than you anticipated to find the best price.
It's important to shop coverage around every six months due to the fact that insurance rates are constantly changing. If you had the lowest rates six months ago the chances are good that you can find a lower rate today. So block out anything you think you know about car insurance because I'm going to teach you the tricks you need to know to find better rates and still maintain coverage.
If you are insured now or need a new policy, you can follow these tips to find the best rates while maintaining coverages. The purpose of this post is to help educate you on how to get online quotes and some tricks to saving. California consumers only need to know the most efficient way to get comparison quotes online.
Take advantage of discounts
The price of auto insurance can be rather high, buy you may qualify for discounts to help offset the cost. Certain discounts will be applied when you get a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be requested specifically before you will receive the discount. If you aren't receiving every discount possible, you're paying more than you need to.
- Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out auto and life insurance together.
- Memberships - Being a member of a civic or occupational organization could trigger savings on car insurance.
- Drivers Ed for Students - Have your child complete a driver education course in high school.
- Federal Government Employee - Being employed by or retired from a federal job may qualify you for a discount with select insurance companies.
- Senior Citizens - Mature drivers can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums.
- Defensive Driving Course - Taking part in a defensive driving course could possibly earn you a 5% discount and easily recoup the cost of the course.
- College Student - Any of your kids who attend school more than 100 miles from home without a vehicle on campus may qualify for this discount.
A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. So when it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will reduce your overall premium however.

Comprehensive South Pasadena Car Insurance Comparison
Finding cheaper car insurance prices is surprisingly easy. Just take a couple of minutes comparing price quotes provided by online insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished in several different ways.
- The best way to find low rates is to use a rate comparison form click here to open form in new window. This form prevents you from having to do boring form submissions to each individual car insurance company. Filling out one form will return price quotes from all major companies.It's the quickest way to get rates.
- A slightly less efficient method to compare rate quotes consists of visiting the website for each individual company to request a price quote. For example, we'll assume you want to compare rates from , and . To find out each rate you need to visit each site to enter your coverage information, and that's why the first method is more popular. To view a list of companies in South Pasadena, click here.
- The hardest method of comparing rate quotes is to waste gas driving to insurance agents' offices. Shopping for car insurance online has reduced the need for local agents unless you have a need for the trained guidance only provided by licensed South Pasadena agents. Drivers can obtain prices from the web and still use a local agent and you'll learn how to do that later.
It doesn't matter which method you choose, just ensure you are comparing exactly the same deductibles and coverage limits for each price quote. If you compare different values for each quote it will be very difficult to truly determine the lowest rate in South Pasadena.
Tips to Get Lower South Pasadena Rates
An important part of buying insurance is that you know the rating factors that come into play when calculating the rates you pay for car insurance. Having a good understanding of what impacts premium levels empowers consumers to make smart changes that may reward you with big savings.
The list below includes a few of the "ingredients" used by your company to calculate rates.
- Lower miles equals lower premium - The more you drive in a year the more you will pay for car insurance. Almost all companies charge to insure your cars based upon how you use the vehicle. Autos not used for work or commuting qualify for better rates than those used for commuting. Ask your agent if your car insurance policy is rated on the correct driver usage.
- Don't skimp on liability - The liability section of your policy provides coverage if ever you are found liable for personal injury or accident damage. It will provide for a legal defense which can cost thousands of dollars. This coverage is very inexpensive compared to insuring for physical damage coverage, so drivers should carry high limits.
- More claims means more premium - If you are a frequent claim filer, you can pretty much guarantee higher rates. Car insurance companies in California give cheaper rates to insureds who do not file claims often. Insurance coverage is intended for the large, substantial claims.
- Rates may be lower depending on your job - Jobs such as lawyers, executives and dentists have the highest average rates in part from high stress levels and lots of time spent at work. Other professions such as actors, historians and the unemployed get better rates.
- Sex matters - Statistics demonstrate women are more cautious behind the wheel. However, don't assume that women are BETTER drivers than men. They both tend to get into accidents in similar percentages, but the males cause more damage and cost insurance companies more money. They also have more aggressive citations like DUI and reckless driving.
- Policy add-ons can waste money - There are a lot of extra coverages that you can buy when buying car insurance. Insurance for roadside assistance, towing coverage and additional equipment coverage may be wasting your money. These may sound like a good investment when talking to your agent, but now you might not need them so eliminate the coverages to reduce your premium.
Are car insurance companies telling the truth?
Consumers in California can't get away from ads that promise big savings from the likes of GEICO, State Farm and Progressive. They all seem to make the same claim about savings if you move your coverage to them.
How can each company claim to save you money? This is how they do it.
All the different companies are able to cherry pick for the type of customer that is profitable for them. For example, a desirable insured might be between the ages of 30 and 50, has no driving citations, and has a high credit rating. Any driver who matches those parameters gets the lowest rates and most likely will save when they switch companies.
Drivers who don't qualify for the requirements will have to pay higher premiums which leads to the customer not buying. The ads say "drivers who switch" not "people who quote" save that much money. That's the way companies can truthfully state the savings.
Because of the profiling, drivers must compare many company's rates. You cannot predict which car insurance company will have the lowest rates.
And the best car insurance company is...
As you restructure your insurance plan, it's a bad idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many instances, someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret that they should have had better coverage. The ultimate goal is to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price.
The cheapest car insurance is possible both online as well as from independent agents in South Pasadena, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies don't offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these regional insurance providers sell through independent agents.
Insureds who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including delays in paying claims, questionable increases in premium, extreme rates for teen drivers or high rates after DUI convictions. No matter why you want to switch, switching car insurance companies is actually quite simple.
