Just three short months after the Graziadio School's Online MBA program launched, students are giving it rave reviews.
According to David Smith, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, eleven women and eleven men are part of the inaugural class, which includes students from five states and a military officer stationed in Japan. One weekend in January, seventeen members of the first cohort of students met in Malibu for the Fully Employed MBA program's perennial Personal and Leadership Development Workshop. The workshop allowed students to meet face-to-face with faculty and each other to find support and develop partnerships as they continue their MBA journey.
Jennifer Pham, a staff accountant with Gaikai, a Sony Computer Entertainment company and current Online MBA student, said the workshop was a great opportunity to meet and network with fellow students and professors. "I feel more comfortable talking to my cohort members online now that I can put a face to their names. There is more cohesion and trust after the workshop." Continue reading

--==: A New Mayan Tzolkin Calendar ? :==--
I was waiting for an indicator to post this information and it happened just a few minutes ago reading a webpage on David Wilcock's website at this link: http://divinecosmos.com/index.php?op...=404&Itemid=70 This webpage states: THE FOURTH-DENSITY SHIFTWhat caught my attention is that it stated Earth's energy would shift towards "green" and the color green is used for the new glyphs in a new Mayan Tzolkin calendar that I have seen. The way I understand it is that this new Mayan calendar has different frequencies but it also contains the entire current Mayan Tzolkin calendar as well. What was shared with me is that prior to a shift into a new cycle that a new Tzolkin may appear in consciousness like a seed being planted. This green shift has other interesting relationships like: - Green is the color of the HEART chakra - Green is the center of the light spectrum - Green is the center of the Mayan Medicine wheel - Green is mentioned in the Mayan book "Popol Vuh" - Green Knight of King Arthur legend In Mayan story the color Green relates to fresh, new, or birth and thus would relate to the beginning of a new cycle. And so if we actually shift or change into another dimension, frequency, or density then it would make sense that the Mayan Tzolkin may also change. So perhaps the new Tzolkin I have seen is real and is a very positive thing. =:-:=:-:=:-:=:-:=:-:= |

Lots of Dots
written by Craig Frazier
Chronicle Books | ISBN 9780811877152
Hardback – 40 pages
Member's price: $13.46
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Originally $19.95
"Some dots are big,some dots are small.Some dots float,and some dots fall." So begins an energetic celebration of dots that features a drum, a ladybug, balloons, and oranges. The red, yellow, and green circles on a traffic signal are followed by raspberry, orange, and lime dots atop a blue ice-cream cone. Frazier's simple graphic art pops against the white backgrounds, as do white dots as round stars against a black sky. A man whose fluid shape is different colors on different spreads discovers dots everywhere–and so will youngsters. The final spread is a montage of the many dots featured, including a spotted dog, fried eggs, and a gumball machine.

Blaze at New Earswick chip shop
9:15am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in News
A fire closed a New Earswick fish and chip shop for the evening yesterday when oil in a deep fat fryer overheated and burst into flames.
It took firefighters from York and Huntington an hour to put the fire out and to ensure that the building was safe.
The blaze began shortly before 8pm and left the shop area of the building, in Hawthorne Terrace, with 30 per cent heat damage and 40 per cent smoke damage.
The fire was so smoky the crews used six breathing apparatus sets as they directed three hoses on to the flames. They also used an aerial ladder.
The cause of the blaze is believed to have been accidental.

The county administrator should place an immediate halt to ALL euthanizations at the animal shelter. There is obviously a lack of procedure and protocol at animal control. I wonder how many loving pet-owners this has happened to, but never knew the outcome? The county needs to rewrite the policies and procedures with regards to animals in Anderson County. They need professional guidance from an organization like the ASPCA to help them decide the best actions to take so that something like this never happens again. For the taxpayers of Anderson County, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I urge everyone that reads this to spay and neuter their pets immediately, and to remind their neighbors and family members to do the same. It doesn't hurt the animal, and it reduces the number of animals that end up at the animal shelter, and ultimately put to their unnecessary death.
The Anderson Humane Society offers a low-cost program to assist those that need this service. Spread the word, and donate to the program. Reduce the workload at the animal shelter.

Elderly people create problems for themselves, the community, and their sons and daughters. Those who face the difficulties of caring for their parents often look to their physicians for advice. But most doctors, although trained to care for the health needs of the aged, are unprepared to solve the many other problems they present. Here is a book which should prove most valuable. Intended for lay readers, it can be confidently recommended to patients, and can also be read profitably by doctors.
The authors, a professional writer specializing in medical, psychiatric, and socio-welfare subjects, and a psychiatrist in the Public Health Service, have skillfully combined their knowledge and talents to make a very readable, sensible book. They point out that no single solution is correct for all the aged, and that no arrangement is entirely satisfactory.

- Location: Maryland
DUI & DWI in Maryland
Page OverviewOne bad choice is all it takes to send your life reeling. Considering the youthful nature of the state population, you might expect there is plenty of spirited fun to be had. DC is right next door. It feels like there is a university every other mile and there is an overabundance of young political aides always looking to blow off a bit of steam.
So a few drinks here or there are as much a part of the political game as, say, the handshake. This is all well and good until someone decides to hop behind the wheel after a few too many drinks with the gang. If you are pulled over, you could possibly be charged with two types of offenses.
DWI vs. DUI
Being charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) is the top alcohol infraction. It means, among other things, that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) posted at a level of .08% or higher. In Maryland, the offense is extremely severe in the sense that 12 points automatically are marked against your license. This results in instant revocation of your license.
The monetary fine for a first offense is $1,000, and $2,000 for a second offense. But these costs are nothing compared to the money involved with going court and/or hiring an attorney. All total, a DWI charge can set you back up to $10,000.
Although driving under the influence (DUI) is a lesser infraction under Maryland law, it is still a serious offense. If your BAC is between .04% and .08%, you'll be charged with a DUI.
In many cases, people who end up on the lower end of the BAC spectrum but fail miserably on a field sobriety test end up with this charge. Officer judgment is a major factor. The end result is eight points tallied against your driving record and a $500 fine (for both a first and second offense). Jail time can range from 60 days from the first offense and up to a year for the second.
The Arrest
- If you fail the roadside sobriety test, which could entail anything from standing on one leg while answering a barrage of questions to touching your nose and walking a straight line, you will be read your rights.
- You will enjoy a complimentary ride in a police car to jail―in tight handcuffs.
- A tow truck will take your car and impound it.
- A Breathalyzer test will be offered under the implied consent laws, and if you refuse it, you can say good-bye to your license at that point; it will be confiscated. You may never see it again, as it will be suspended.
- You will get to sober up in a jail cell. Depending on how much you had to drink, this could be just a few long hours or a never-ending day. While you are sitting behind bars, a whole series of events could be set into motion that will affect your employment, your financial stability, and your family.
Suspensions at the Time of Arrest
Under the implied consent laws you have a couple of options to choose from when offered a Breathalyzer and/or field sobriety test.
Administrative Per Se: If you fail the roadside sobriety test or blow a 0.08% or more in the field, the chances are pretty high that you will be arrested at that point. Depending on the officer's tendencies or discretion, you may have to fork over your driver license before you are read your rights and cuffed. Yes, you will be handcuffed. Face it, you will be under arrest and headed to jail.
Other officers will wait until processing at the jail before taking your driver license. Either way, it will be gone from your possession for a while. If you are convicted of the DWI, the time your license was in the hands of the police will be credited to the overall revocation or suspension.
Refusal: You can refuse to take the tests. While you do have the right to not take the test, the state has a right to impose a hefty consequence for making that call. Even if you are later found not guilty of the charge, your license will be suspended for 120 days to one year for refusing to take the breath test. Before you plead guilty to any crime, however, it's advisable to consult a DWI attorney.
Gambling With the BAC
Simply put, blood alcohol concentration is how much alcohol is pulsing through your blood and giving you the feel-good high of intoxication. While there are numerous factors affecting each individual's BAC, and it will vary from person to person even after the same number of drinks, scientists have come up with a few basic averages.
Cresting the 0.08% BAC level would require a 170-pound guy with an empty stomach to imbibe around four drinks in one hour. To match this BAC, a woman weighing in around 140 pounds would need to have three drinks in an hour on an empty stomach. So the variable is based on body weight, time frame vs. amount consumed, and time elapsed between drinks. As far as alcohol content per drink, a glass of wine, one beer, and one shot all carry about equal weight.
Alcohol Education
If your license was revoked due to a DUI or DWI offense, you will need to attend an Alcohol Education Program before applying for a new one. The 12-hour program is designed to steer you clear of any future incidents involving intoxicating beverages and cars―unless from a seat in a taxi or bus.
The course also takes a physiological route and analyzes each participant to determine whether there is a more serious problem involved with abuse or dependency. If you fall into this category the division will require you to undergo more intensive therapy in the form of a 26-week treatment program.

I am having problems synching my Galaxy S with the double twist program. I am pretty good at troubleshooting, but I can not find any step by step instructions on how to set up the phone/computer to read one another. I have downloaded some NPR podcasts to Itunes and I have managed to get those shows on up on the computer playlist. Is the synch process automatic? How do I configure my USB storage - connect or not to connect, that is the question.
These are basic questions that should come with the help section of the program.
Right now I'm frustrated and I'm going to have to manually download the podcasts to my computer and send them to the files on the phone.
Thanks in advance
PS: I'm still running Windows XP

Generally a group activity, in which the participants complain about one evil or annoying person, or about their respective S.O.s, ex-S.O.s, families, professors, bosses, etc. The name derives from the verb "to bitch" as in "to complain loudly and profanely", not from the noun "a bitch", thus the participants may be male as well as female.

Texas banking tycoon Andrew Beal is known for making unconventional moves, including gambling on high-stakes poker and a self-financed plan to launch rockets into space. His latest gambit: an attempt to wring money from giant banks by banding together aggrieved bondholders.
Mr. Beal's CXA Corp. ran a pair of advertisements late last year, one appearing in The Wall Street Journal. The ads listed an alphabet soup of residential mortgage-backed securities held by CXA and asked those with positions in the same securities to join the company in investigating possible infractions by banks that sold the debt.

If the groups can prove the mortgages that underlie the bonds were approved through shoddy underwriting, they could be entitled to compensation—CXA's payday alone could be tens of millions of dollars.
The effort is a long shot. It relies on the firm rounding up a critical mass of bondholders—a task that has frustrated countless others, who have struggled to first identify other potential claimants and then convince them to join potentially expensive litigation. The plan also may face a looming deadline.
By publishing its holdings, the Plano, Texas, company is taking a novel step. Already, it has resulted in responses from more than 20 bondholders, said Stephen Costas, Beal Bank general counsel. CXA is an investment subsidiary of Beal Bank USA, which is based in Las Vegas.
Mr. Beal's reputation and deep pockets could mean another costly legal headache for financial firms already battered by mortgage-bond-related litigation. A spokesman for Beal declined to comment and attempts to reach Mr. Beal were unsuccessful.
"I don't think anyone has published their portfolio before, so I think that's a new strategy," says lawyer Talcott Franklin, whose Dallas law firm has a clearinghouse to help bondholders pursue common interests.
Mortgage-bond investors have filed scores of lawsuits and squeezed tens of billions of dollars in settlements from banks prodded to buy back bad mortgages, including loans that weren't backed by Fannie Mae FNMA -3.02% Fannie Mae OTCBB $2.57 -0.08 -3.02% Dec. 11, 2013 3:59 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8.24M AFTER HOURS $2.57 0.00 0.00% Dec. 11, 2013 4:02 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 8.17M P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $3.07 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $17,017,200 12/10/13 Senate Confirms Rep.

More quote details and news » More than $400 billion in such "private label" deals created from those mortgages have defaulted or missed payments, according to an analysis by Compass Point Research & Trading LLC.
Bondholders like CXA claim they deserve to be compensated for losses caused by poor underwriting when the U.S. housing market was booming.
But time may be running out for the so-called put-back cases. Applicable laws cite a six-year limit after securities are issued to sue. The last big flurry of mortgage-bond issuance came in 2007. "You would think there is money lying on the ground for plaintiffs to go after, but we haven't seen that wave of filings," says Michael Turner, a senior vice president at Compass Point in Washington.
On top of recruiting fellow bondholders to join their claims, investors pursuing put-back cases must document why each loan was defective—a massive undertaking because each security can be composed of numerous mortgages. Some have been leery of taking on big financial firms that they count among their largest sources of funding.
A college dropout from Lansing, Mich., who got his start fixing up rental homes, Mr. Beal became a billionaire by buying unwanted assets others sold at deep discounts and then profiting on their recovery. He later invested tens of millions into an aerospace venture, which he shut down in 2000, and embarked on a series of seven-figure matches against a syndicate of professional poker players.
Many of the bonds listed in the CXA ads have risen in value since the company purchased them amid the financial crisis, when others were fleeing the market. But the firm believes it would have pocketed larger profits if lenders had properly underwritten the underlying mortgages. As of Sept. 30, Mr. Beal held more than $1 billion of the debt, according to regulatory filings.
The strategy behind the advertisements is to draw out other investors who may have been inclined to "quietly take RMBS losses that were not bargained for under the agreements," said Mr. Costas, adding that the approach is "designed to pass such losses onto the responsible parties."
To have a chance at prying money from the banks, CXA needs to gather investors holding 25% of the voting rights in an outstanding issue. The investors can then try to get banks to buy back any loans they say are faulty, for example for misrepresenting the quality of the borrowers.
Mr. Costas says the firm has signed on enough investors in seven of the 93 mortgage-backed securities held by its CXA Corp. unit to take action. He declined to identify those investors who had joined the group.

Success by Beal's group "may open up a whole new area of cooperation" between bondholders, says Vincent Fiorillo, residential mortgage-bond portfolio manager at DoubleLine Capital LP, an asset-management firm that isn't currently involved in mortgage-repurchase litigation.
Compass Point estimates 11 major U.S. banks could face $25 billion of additional losses on put-backs of mortgages not backed by Fannie or Freddie.

Mexico City born Chef Richard Sandoval owns 13 restaurants in Mexico, Dubai and the United States. Sandoval has redefined historic Mexican cuisine to become a leader in the upscale Latin culinary movement. His oven-baked smoked swordfish tostaditas (fish, shredded cheese, lettuce, citrus, roasted peppers, salsa, on small tortillas) was a mouth-watering treat.
Casa Madero Chenin Blanc was paired with Patricia Quintana's tasty sun dried shrimp in an authentic Mexican hot Huichol sauce with salt and lime. The legendary Quintana is based at Mexico City's Izote Restaurant, where she produces culinary delicacies that have garnered her honors as Mexico's top chef and Culinary Ambassador.
Chef prepared samplings and Don Julio tequila were served on many holes during the Punta Mita Cup. Especially enjoyable were long-standing St. Regis traditions (some dating back 100 years to founder Lady Astor), such as champagne sabering and hand-rolled cigars.
At prices ranging from $19 to $84, cigar selections at the St. Regis resort included: Bolivar: Belicoso Fino, Limited Edition 2009 Petit Belicoso; Cohiba: Corona Especiales, Espléndido, Robusto and Siglo I, II, IV; Cuaba Generosos; H.

Interesting quote from Miles at today's press conference... @MattMoscona: Miles: "We're a team with real designs on the back end of the season...the time to work is now." Many ways to interpret this but to me I hope it means that although we have seen some "historical" offensive production from this years LSU team We are intentionally "holding some things back" for Bama and A&M. What do you think?
I think it's fair to assume he hasn't shown everything vs. UAB and/or Kent St. Also sure there will be some wrinkles per each opponents' weaknesses.
I hope it means that, but not necessarily for Bama and A&M. I realize the threat they pose...but these ass whippings should come with an equal opportunity statement. No ass whipping shall be delivered on the basis of race, creed, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, living arrangement, preference for cousins or sisters, spit or swallow, teeth color, body odor, etc. If you're on the schedule, you get the same ass whipping everyone else gets. Now get in line.
He let the cat out of the bag with that 28 yard pass down the seam to Dickson. I was hoping to totally surprise Saban with a pass to the TE.
Keeping with the "aint seen nothing yet" topic, Jeremy Hill says he is only at 80% after the long lay off!
Can't watch the vid at work but really?! Damn, that 58-yarder vs Kent St was classic Hill...bust through the first level with power and then take it to the house with speed.
I also tend to think part of this statement by Miles leads us to believe there might be some stuff like screens to the RBs that have not yet been shown, but will be used as the knife in our opponents backs.

Can You Eat Bananas on the Paleo Diet?
by Court under Diet
Ever since I posted about strawberries and paleo, people have gotten curious about other foods and whether they are allowed on paleo or not. One common question among paleo-ites is whether bananas are allowed on a paleo diet.
The Simple Answer is Yes
Are bananas allowed on paleo then? Yes, they definitely are. They are a fruit, and fruits are allowed on paleo diets.
Bananas, like most fruits, are a pretty good source of many vitamins and minerals including Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese and are a great source of Vitamin B6.a
The More Complex Answer is Maybe
I'm not going to say that bananas aren't allowed on this diet. They are. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should eat them.
As with any food, you should be analyzing your goals and determining whether bananas fit in with those goals.
The average banana has about 120 calories and roughly 20 grams of sugar to go along with 4 grams of fiber. Compare that to a lot of other fruits and you'll find that that's more sugar and less fiber than your typical fruit.
This isn't a problem at all if you don't have goals to lose weight. For many, eating paleo is an exercise in health and if you're in that boat, eat all the bananas you want. They are perfectly healthy and will contribute nicely to a healthy lifestyle.
However, those of you who have goals for weight loss should at least educate yourself on the potential effects of the sugars and starches in bananas.
Any food that is this high in sugars should be used carefully if you're interested in weight loss. If you have goals to lose weight, I would recommend only eating bananas within 30 minutes of finishing a workout where you have used weights. During this window, the sugars from bananas won't contribute at all to weight gain and will aid your body in the recovery process.
Each person is different and for some, it's possible to lose weight at a nice rate while eating bananas. However, if your weight loss has stalled out and you eat them regularly, there's a pretty good chance that bananas are the culprit. Bananas are paleo friendly, but they can affect your body composition to a certain degree.

I started eating paleo & organic for health reasons, and lost weight too quickly. Adding bananas to each breakfast has helped me maintain my current weight, so they definitely can stop you from losing, if that's your intention. Thanks for the article.

Hourly Rate: $40

These guys were recommended by my usual mechanic, and their estimate came in $800 less than another place in Hollywood. They did a really great job. They told me ten days, and it took two weeks, but I didn't care because the insurance paid for a rental car, and it was worth the wait. I had been rear-ended and now my car is pristine. And the owners, Jerome and Jaime, were really genuine guys. I highly recommend this place.

HLLN questions MINUSTHA's credibility, OAS's credibility, Washington's credibility and their allies' credibility, willingness and ability to legitimately support and safeguard the people's landslide mandate to President Rene Preval
1. NO DEAL ELECTED RENE PREVAL, THE PEOPLE OF HAITI ELECTED PRESIDENT RENE PREVAL and now its been firmly DECLARED by the de facto authorities at the CEP
HLLN takes this opportunity to remind the world that no "deal" elected President Preval.
President Preval was elected by the people of Haiti, not by a "deal" brokered by the international community led by Brazil, not by 51.15% which we know the opposition will soon be
calling a "slight lead." No. President Preval won legally and by a LANDSLIDE as all can see who have eyes in their heads, who check the tally sheets before they got to the CEP tabulation center and who take a look at the long, long lines going out to vote for Preval and who have been in the streets since to make sure their votes were not negated by the US-supported illegal authorities.
President Preval won by a landslide that was being fraudulently cut down because of MASSIVE FRAUD by the illegal authorities running the show in Haiti. Those are the facts. The CEP's tabulations is the farce requiring questioning, not the people's landslide mandate to Rene Preval.
A February 16, 2006, New York Times article, by Ginger Thompson, entitled "A Deal Is Reached to Name a Victor in Haiti's Election" states:
"The official from the Organization of American States, who insisted on anonymity because of the fragile nature of the agreement, said
that loopholes in Haitian electoral law allow the government to discard an estimated 85,000 blank ballots included in the original tally. By excluding them, Mr. Préval's lead would increase from 48.7 percent of the votes to slightly more than 51 percent." (Emphasis Added)
HLLN has already outlined those "loopholes," for the world, in our report, dated February 14, 2006, entitled "HLLN report on Haitian Election Laws." ( https://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/ezilid ... 00012.html )
In said HLLN analysis of the election laws, HLLN articulated the Haitian people's legal and moral right to have all their votes COUNTED. We explain how blank votes had never been counted before. We explain how the people of Haiti exhibited too much fervor to vote for the leader of their choice due to the two-years coup d'etat repressions, sacrificed too much to get in
those long lines, to then cast almost 5% as blank votes. We pointed out that voided and unused votes could have easily been recorded as blank votes. We examine the law that covers blank votes and stated:
..... Article 185 is ambivalent and could be argued to both allow and deny the counting of blank votes. It leaves a lot of room for manipulation and massive fraud. For instance, the rule that "Blank ballots are validated and counted" seems to contradict and negate the rule that "Ballots where the Bureau can't identify the elector's intention or political will are declared void" and vice versa. Thus, if the candidate you want to win is ahead, you don't count the blank votes and that is legal according to Article 185. Also, if the candidate you don't want to win is ahead, you COUNT the votes, and that too appears legal. Point is, if ballots where the voter's intention is not clear are considered "null", and thus not counted, how can the authorities count blank ballots? How can they
say that a blank ballot clearly indicates a voter's intention? This is PRECISELY why today, in the streets of Haiti, the people are saying these elections were RIGGED in favor of the Group 184/CEP-members political party affiliations to begin with!.....
The people's voice was duly heard this morning, February 16, 2006, as "officially" confirmed and declared when Max Mathurin announced (notice it wasn't the extra-extra-illegal Jacques Bernard who made the announcement) that Rene Preval had won the elections on the first round!
Ayibobo. Ayibobo. Ayibobo.
HLLN congratulates the people of Haiti for their vigilance, for the huge sacrifices they made in order to vote, for remaining mobilized, even after they had cast their votes, unlike for instance, the voters in Ohio or Florida, and for absolutely refusing to allow their votes to be stolen by high tech computer or tabulation maneuvers. A GREAT PEOPLE they are indeed and without peer in struggling for their own
civil, human and cultural rights in this hostile American Mediterranean. Chapo ba pèp Ayisyen, chapo ba. Ayibobo!
This being said, HLLN also encourages further investigation into the role of CEP staff members in the attempt to swing the election away from Rene Preval's outright victory and an investigation of the role of MINUSTHA in the security or lack thereof, and with respect to electoral fraud, especially in terms of the ballots found smoldering at the garbage dump in Truitier. Why is HLLN requesting an investigation of MINUSTHA's role? Well, because HLLN and everyone else, in-the-know about Haitian issues, and who is not being obtuse, EXPECTED the interim government to try and commit fraud and try to maintain the power grab of the bi-centennial coup d'etat for the Haitian bourgeoisie and their foreign interests through these elections.
However, a great many sincere people still regard the UN as credible. And, besides, they are impinging on Haitian sovereignty and being PAID millions p
er month as "peacekeepers."
Thus, it is beyond the pale to countenance their involvement in electoral fraud in Haiti.
All efforts must be made to get to the bottom of this and quickly. Otherwise, how is the newly elected President of Haiti to rely on these troops to buttress, shore-up and support, without prejudice or bias, the transition to Rene Preval or, to provide real police security and stability with equal treatment afforded to ALL the peoples of Haiti, no matter their wealth or political leanings, in accordance with Haitian and international laws?
2. CEP HAS NO AUTHORITY TO COUNT, RE-COUNT OR EXAMINE BALLOTS IN THE FIRST PLACE (The exception comes in after declaring a winner and if a credible complaint has been duly received.)
HLLN publicly pointed out, explained and detailed the blank vote "loopholes", but what's MORE IMPORTANT, and should not be disregarded, as we all celebrate the people's victory, is th
at, as HLLN also was the first to point out, the CEP is not authorized, to be COUNTING, sorting or examining or re-examining cast ballots at its "tabulation center" in Port au Prince. Not according to their own electoral laws. (See, HLLN Report on Haitian Election Laws, Feb. 14, 2006 - the CEP is no authority to COUNT or EXAMINE ballots, this is left to the polling stations.
https://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/ezilid ... 00012.html
HLLN demanded that the CEP STOP re-examining, determining, counting or sorting the ballots cast in the Feb. 7, 2006 election, including determining "blank" and "null" votes and do its job, which is simply to COMPILE the ballot tally sheets and add the totals already on the sheets. Then declare a winner. If there's a protest, then on the basis of said protests, that's when the CEP would come in with dispute resolution. This is a critical point, because it was not the CEP that made Rene Preval a winn
er in Haiti. The CEP's function was ONLY to add the tally sheets, as given them. The tally sheets as given them showed clearly that Rene Preval had won the election.
Any controversy, according to their own laws, would have had to be taken into account, after they had processed the tally sheets. Again, clearly the tally sheets locally published showed Rene Preval as the WINNER hands-down in these elections. It was the CEP's venture into examining ballots, deciding or re-examing blank votes, not to mention the discovery of boxes of ballots and tally sheets from Carrefour-Feuilles and Abricots stashed in a "secret place", and other hidden boxes of ballots and tally sheets, from other areas, found hidden by CEP staff that were mostly votes for Preval, whose totals were not included in the 48.7% for Preval and the thousands upon thousands of stolen and burnt votes that has led to these charges of massive fraud and illegal activity on the part of the CEP. (See, AHP report dated Feb. 15, 2006, co
pied below)
Thus, again, neither the CEP nor the international community DECIDED for Rene Preval by some "agreement" or "compromise." The people of Haiti, by a majority of the votes, VOTED for Rene Preval and are solely responsible for his victory. A victory, which the CEP clearly seemed to have tried to minimize and even negate by seemingly counting as blank votes ballots that were voided-blank-ballots not used by the polling places, and by losing custody of ballot and tally sheets, by re-examing the cast ballots, blank ballots, null ballots and tally sheets, in contravention of its own laws.
This is what must be made clear to one and all.
Further, HLLN's encouraged the discounting of the blank votes because of the ambivalence in the laws, its capacity to allow or prohibit their inclusion allowed for fraud and manipulation. Also blank votes had NEVE
R been counted before in Haiti and given the people's determination to have all their VOTES counted; given the many proofs of massive fraud or gross errors and that the nearest candidate to Rene Preval has only managed to garner 11% of the vote and this 11% itself is seen, by many, as OVER-INFLATED; given the newly found "stashed ballots" just delivered to the CEP offices yesterday (See AHP Feb. 15 report below); given the burnt ballots - given all this, the Haitian people's intentions, as clearly and uncontrovertibly expressed on Feb. 7, 2006, and seen by the world, through news picture after news picture, this intention to make Rene Preval their legitimate and freely elected president HAD to be allowed free and un-tethered expression. The game was over. It wasn't that the international community "brokered" a solution. Frankly, they were part of the problem and simply realized the game was over. (See New York Times &qu
ot;Democracy Undone," then you will realize how much this "deal" idea is a farce.)
The Haiti Democracy Project, its former board member Timothy Carney, Andre Apaid, the Boulos Brotheres, Group 184 and the IRI, IFES and USAID folks do not compromise or negotiate. That's a fact made plain from 1994 to 2004. Their whole purpose has been to DESTROY the Lavalas Movement and exclude the majority in Haiti from participating in the affairs of their own nation. Period, no comma. (See, Democracy Undone by the New York Times, which, in part, confirms this allegation.)
4. The Game Was Over Once the Mainstream Media Reported the TRUTH - that the people of Haiti were PEACEFULLY protesting the attempt to negate their votes; reported all the FRAUD and showed the world, through print and on TV screens, the pictures of the burnt ballots (See the reports of the people taking over the Montana Hotel and then peacefully leaving, without incident.)
The massive
fraud reported by the mainstream media during this election crisis - a mainstream media, that this time and thank God, did not go home after the elections as they had right after the bicentennial coup d'etat, this media presence combined with the Haitian people's VIGILANCE shamed the UN troops and Haitian police into not shooting at the peaceful demonstrators as they have been shown to do, shamed the international supporters of the de facto authorities to take the right and legal position, for once.
The New York Times reported that "...Of the 2.2 million ballots cast, about 125,000 ballots have been declared invalid because of irregularities, raising suspicion among Preval supporters that polling officials were rigging the election.
Another 4 percent of the ballots were blank but were still added into the total, making it harder for Preval to obtain the 50 percent plus one vote needed." ( See, Smashed Ballot Boxes Found in Haiti", By ANDREW SELSKY, Associated Press Writer )
The evidence of fraud was OVERWHELMING. At one point the CEP figures showed Preval at 49% while the graph indicated 52%!. The International observers including the NDI found between 52% to 54%. Three of the members of the CEP itself said there was fraud and manipulation, and accused Jacques Bernard, a unilateral Lartortue CEP appointee, of fraudulently reducing Preval high percentage to deny him the outright majority he was given by the people and force a run-off.
MINUSTHA spokesman, David Wimhurst's original reaction when told about the smoldering ballots at Thuiery was to speculate that the burned ballots could have come from any of the nine polling stations across Haiti trashed on Election Day and forcing officials to throw out up to 35,000 votes.
This issue of missing and stolen ballots, ballots that were supposed to be in the custody of MINUSTHA, but ended up in a garbage truck, that issue cannot be minimized or isolated to just t
he burned ballots found in Thuirery.
First, because AHP in describing, on Feb. 14, 2006, the burned ballots wrote that
"All of these votes, many of which were found inside ballot boxes, appeared to have come from voting centers set up in the periphery of the shantytown of Cité Soleil, where more than 95% of the population voted for Espoir. "
Second, other papers and Haitian witnesses confirmed this. The Andrew Selsky New York Times article "Smashed Ballot Boxes Found in Haiti" stated, inter alia:
"Among the bags seen by AP was one vote tally sheet from the Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Carrefour that recorded 129 votes for Preval out of 202 cast. "
Therefore, David Wimhurst's original speculation must be revised. The burnt ballots that were found in the garbage dump clearly also came from polling places, outside of Cite Soley, set up for Cite Soley residents and from Ca
rrefou. These polling stations WERE NOT ransacked. Those ballots and ballot tallies from non-ransacked polling places were in the custody of MINUSTHA. If not, why not? If they were delivered by MINUSTHA to the tabulation center and then sent for destruction, only an independent investigation, not a MINUSTHA or CEP conducted investigation should be mounted to shed light on these issues.
HLLN urges a thorough and INDEPENDENT investigation of allegations of fraud, but especially an investigation of MINUSTHA, in reference to the burned ballots that came from clearly un-ransacked polling places where the ballots were given into the custody of the UN.
Haitians HLLN spoke to, who examine the ballots and still have a few in their hands (as souvenirs!!!) indicate there were Xs marking a vote for Preval on most of the ballots found at Truitier, and behind the ballots, the polling place staff signature clearly indicated where they originated. The cha
rred and still smoldering ballots, but not completely destroyed ballots and tally sheets that were found at the Truitier garbage dump, showed, that these ballots originated from polling places where the people of Cite Soley voted - polling places set up just outside for the people of Site Soley. There is no question about that. It's public knowledge. (Click on the Yahoo pictures:
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u ... 715975.jpg )
Of course, the people living in the Truitier district area have also reported that the strange and heretofore unknown garbage trucks made MANY trips to the Truitier garbage dump, starting Feb. 8, 2006, the day after the election. Thus, it's conceivable other ballots besides the ballots from polling places for the people of Site Soley and Carefou were likewise burnt and we don't have proof of it because they've been burning ballots for quite a number of days before the rain came and STOPPED the evidence from being TOTALLY destroyed.
There were also found in the Truitier garbage dump, in addition to ballots, TALLY sheets. Thus, none of these ballot tallies were included in the tabulation of votes in Port au Prince. For, it's inconceivable the Truitier ballots and tallies would have gone to the tabulation center first and COUNTED, and then sent to be BURNED!
Also, when Max Mathurin, president of the CEP was told about the stolen and burned ballots and tally sheets, his first answer was that the CEP had nothing to do with this; had no knowledge of this matter and wasn't at fault because Haiti's voting ballots and tally sheets where picked up from the polling places by MINUSTHA, and therefore were under the care of MINUSHA.
The problem with this passing the buck, of course, is that a strict reading of the CEP laws would prove, that total relinquishing of CEP function to MINUSTHA was in contravention of their own CEP laws in and of itself and that someone from the polling place or the BED -(Burea
u Électoral Départemental) (Departmental Electoral Bureau) - should, at the very least, have been with all those ballots being transported to and fro, allegedly for SECURITY reasons, by MINUSTHA to assure chain of custody.
Further, as we've already pointed out in our report of laws violated by the CEP, the actual voting ballots, according to CEP laws, were not supposed to be transported outside of the polling places, only the tally sheets and these should have been driven directly to the BED, not to the CEP.
Be that as it may, the reality is that MINUSTHA was the caretakers of HAITIAN ballots and apparently charged with getting them to the CEP tabulation center. Yet, there they are - thousands of ballots - dumped in a Truitier garbage dump, by a Boucard Pest garbage trucks, hired and in the employ of MINUSTHA!
6. The Huge Boucard Pest Garbage Trucks that begin transporting ballots as "barbage" where hired and in the employ of MINUSTHA!
I wi
ll repeat this again: The Boucard Pest garbage trucks, that dumped an unknown amount of ballots, tallies and boxes of ballots and election materials at the Truitier garbage dump, were HIRED and in the employ of MINUSTHA.
When the company was contacted, they said they were just HIRED by MINUSTHA to pick up some garbage and had no idea what the "garbage" was that they were dumping at Truitier on Feb. 8, 2006 and for many days after.
HLLN finds MINUSTHA involvement here extremely DISTURBING.
Could the hasty conclusion to the elections fraud investigation be because of this MINUSTHA involvement in the stolen ballots?
These questions should be answered. A full and independent investigation of MINUSTHA role in the matter of stolen and dump ballots is necessary.
Moreover, if ALL the ballots dumped in garbage trucks were ballots, which MINUSTHA had already delivered to the CEP's tabulation centers, then an independent investigation of the CEP is surely and absolutely n
According to a February 15, 2006 AHP report, attached below, in its entirety:
"Thousands of ballots and election count reports whose origin is unknown arrived Wednesday evening at the vote tabulation center of the CEP"
Why are their origins unknown? Did MINUSTHA bring them to the tabulation center?
The AHP article goes on to state, inter alia, that:
"According to a variety of accounts, these documents have been kept for nine days in a secret location while the executive director of the CEP had affirmed that all of the signed election tally reports (procès-verbaux) had been received by the CEP." (See AHP, February 15, 2006 article, copied below: "Thousands of ballots and election count reports whose origin is unknown arrived Wednesday evening at the vote tabulation center of the CEP")
Who transported these ballots to "a secret location"? Was it MINUSTHA or not? Where any of these ballots part of the ballot boxes transpo
rted on trucks in the employ of MINUSTHA to the Truitier garbage dump?
These questions and many pertinent others must be answered and by an independent and credible authority.
Most importantly, HLLN wants to point out, that Preval was winning by 48.76% with 90% of the total votes counted. He only needed 1.24% plus one vote to gain the majority and an outright victory without going to a second round.
HLLN repeats, that even after MASSIVE fraud, as outline above, the gap was only 1.24% and these newly found ballots, stashed in "secret locations" could only have increased Preval's lead, otherwise, there would have been no need to steal them.
Thus, all the evidence shows Rene Preval was not elected by a deal brokered by the international community.
Said "international" community created the coup d'etat crisis and election crisis. There are many questions to be faced by said international community as outlined in part, by the New York Times' "Democrac
y Undone" article. The events after the Feb. 7, 2006 elections intensifies this need for investigation into these authorities, including OAS officials and their role in this coup d'etat and now with the attempt at rigging Haiti elections in favor of their morally repugnant Haitian protégés.
This is even more critical when we remember that the votes for the Legislature positions have yet to be published.
The last reported CEP results published on their website showed Rene Preval ahead at 48.76 with 90% of the votes tallied. Preval needed 50 percent plus one vote to win outright and not have to go to a second round with Leslie Manigat, who was in second place at a mere 11%.
But to the people of Haiti, Preval had won on the first round and by a landslide. They took to the streets to demand the CEP not negate their votes through fancy technocrat additions and formulas.
Copies of voting
results published, by law, at the various polling stations received and examined by HLLN showed clearly that Preval was ahead by MORE than 70% of the votes. So how come when these tallies got to the tabulations center, the percentage for Preval started to drop so precipitously?
HLLN finds the CEP tabulation were a farce. HLLN wants to make it CLEAR, Preval did not win by an agreement that GAVE him 1.4% plus one to put him over the top!!! This is subterfuge. There is no mathematically logic that would explain the fraud that kept Preval's percentages on the steady DECREASE as they reached CEP authorities. Many believe there was massive fraud at the CEP tabulation center. They were stealing. They got caught. Rene Preval was nice enough, big enough to offer them a way out.
There are already coup d'etat folks crying foul because Rene Preval's victory was duly declared. The Haiti Democracy Project, whose former board member is the current interim US Ambassador to Haiti, Timothy Carney, said Haiti
Democracy Project is already declaring that the blank votes should have been counted and that the Preval victory is not legal. We want these folks to understand that blank votes had NOTHING to do with President Preval's victory. The people of Haiti elected President Preval by a landslide, or as they would say LAVALASEMENT!!!
The CEP tabulation was a farce in the first place. So, let's not spent the next five years arguing President Preval's legitimacy. N'ap bare wout sa prese, prese.
This farce is intended to undermine the popular mandate, the STRONG mandate given to Preval by the PEOPLE OF HAITI.
But, to the people of Haiti, this so-called agreement has nothing to do with reality. Preval won by more than 50% plus one, and without the interference of Jacques Bernard, et al and, blank ballots, null ballots, stolen and burnt ballots, missing ballots and CEP re-examinations, and a whole series of other documented irregularities, there would be no need for a "resolution."
nThose who are already starting to complain about Rene Preval's victory and centering on the discounting (or re-apportionment equally amongst the candidates) of the blank ballots as their primary lifeline to make their case, carry no legal or ethical weight.
First off, these are the very people who disregarded the Haitian Constitution and supported the forceful ouster of the constitutionally elected government of Haiti. They have no leg to stand on now, crying about the "illegality" of not counting the blank votes. Especially as, HLLN has outlined that under their own CEP's coup d'etat laws, to count and not count blank ballots ARE BOTH LEGAL!!!! See, HLLN Report on Haitian Election Laws, Feb. 14, 2006 https://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/ezilid ... g00012.hml where HLLN outlines how the CEP article, article 185 that governs blank ballots is ambiguous and "could be argued to both allow and deny the counting of blank votes. It leaves a lot of room for manipulation and massive fraud.&quo
Those who are railing against the CONFIRMATION of Preval's victory are simply using this tabulation farce to MASK the Lavalas mandate – Lavalas in terms of the FLOOD of the people, their massive turnout on Feb. 7, 2006 and LAVALAS in terms of Aristide Lavalas, the people who support President Aristide.
This victory for Preval is a manifestation of the people's will; it's a repudiation of the bicentennial coup d'etat; it is support for oustered President Jean-Bertrand Aristide by the population of Haiti and a vote against those who conducted the coup d'etat and a vote against the international folks and NGO's that financed and help orchestrate said coup. It's a vote against that sector within the UN troops and Haitian police involved in terrorizing, arbitrarily arresting and slaughtering the people of Haiti who demonstrate or, are seen as supporters of Lavalas. That's what the Feb. 7, 2006 vote means. Let
there be no doubt about this whatsoever.
Aristide's base, even today, is still a solid 60% of the country. Anyone who polled, talked to or want to know the thoughts of the people of Haiti, would KNOW that. HLLN challenges those who disagree to go to Haiti and simply ask around.
On top of this 60% that still talks about Aristide and who would never have voted another way but for someone they see as close to Aristide as you could get, there's another 15% to 20% of Haitian folks, who, had a problem with Aristide, like even for instance, those who participated in the GNBis demonstrations against Aristide, but who now also make up part of Rene Preval's base.
It is this group plus Aristide's base that has brought this people's victory to Haiti.
Let's not make a mistake about this and allow the coup d'etat folks and un-informed mainstream press to be talking about how the people of Haiti rejected Lavalas, the Lavalas Movement or President Aristide by electing Rene Preval.
ng President Preval winner was not only the right thing to do, but it was the LEGAL thing to do.
But just because, for once, the illegal authorities did the right thing, mostly to stop the bright media lights they were facing from digging deeper, mostly to save face, let's not get carried away and bestow credibility or even people power and sanction upon either the CEP officials, or the political parties coming in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th....in these elections. The poor showings of these political parties and candidates (Manigat, Baker, Guy Phillip, et al), or non-votes for them are vote against them as leaders in Haiti by the people of Haiti. It is an expression of the people's will and that expression should not be minimized now that the CEP has, for once, done the right thing in light of the massive proof of fraud that were made public.
The CEP was pressured into stopping its own fraud, stopping group 184 fraud, stopping the Haiti Democracy Project fraud. It choose
one way out by apportioning the blank votes to save face. This should not, in any way, minimize the people's victory over these fascists' forces, only confirm it.
The international community, the OAS, the interim government and their employees, through UN troops, had control of the ballots and tally sheets.
There are questions as to the level of complicity of said internationals in this attempted fraud, like those that were burnt at Truitier. If, Preval had not been declared President, could these folks have withstand a fair investigation into their roles in the attempt to swing the elections to the coup d'etat contingent.
This is not to say there is not a section within MINUSTHA that backs up the people of Haiti, which has since the beginning of this Coup D'etat fought determinedly to actually be "peacekeepers" and not Group 184 and Haiti Democracy Project henchmen. HLLN makes clear, not all of MINUSTHA are doing the dirty deed of IRI, HDP and Group 184 in Haiti. There are two schools
within the UN contingent in Haiti, the problem has been the rogue elements have had great backing and from powerful elements within the governments of France, US, Canada and their allies.

Thousands of ballots and election count reports whose origin is unknown arrived Wednesday evening at the vote tabulation center of the CEP
Port-au-Prince, February 15, 2006 (AHP)- Thousands of signed election tally reports and ballots for the presidential and legislative elections of February 7, 2006 were delivered Wednesday afternoon to the Vote Tabulation Center of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) in northern Port-au-Prince.
These ballots, which were filmed inside the tabulation center by the Haitian television station, Channel 11, came notably from polling centers that were operating at the Sainte Trinité School, the Carrefour-Feuilles High School, and in the 3rd communal section of Abri
cots in the Southwest of the country.
According to a variety of accounts, these documents have been kept for nine days in a secret location while the executive director of the CEP had affirmed that all of the signed election tally reports (procès-verbaux) had been received by the CEP.
These ballots and polling center tally reports arrived at the Tabulation Center amidst a scene of great disorder, as there was no member of the CEP to receive them, and most of them had disappeared from view.
Only a few lower ranking officials were present.
"This is yet another trick", said a source close to the Tabulation Center, confiding to AHP that "Everyone is going to be very worried here from now on because reports suggest that it was a senior manager of the Tabulation Center (a woman) who may have given the order to throw out thousands of ballots and signed election tally reports (a majority of which were marked for Préval) which were discovered in the Truittier distr
ict of northern Port-au-Prince.
For many, "this scandal has confirmed the existence of a vast plan to hijack the vote of the majority".
More than 100,000 people demonstrated this Wednesday in front of the National Palace and all along the Champ-de-Mars calling for respect for the vote of February 7, 2006.
Displaying posters of the presidential candidate of the Espoir Platform, René Garcia Préval, as well as posters of ballot boxes containing ballots found at a public garbage dump at Thuitier, the demonstrators chanted slogans hostile to the senior officials of the Provisional Electoral Council, whom they blamed for this confused situation.
At the same time, the Brazilian government, whose troops are leading the UN force in Haiti, indicated Wednesday that there is no reason to organize a second round in the presidential elections and that the decision of the majority must be respected.
For its part, the UN Security Council appealed to the different sectors to
respect the commitment they have made to democracy.

Review : Dylan Leblanc - Paupers Field
Paupers Field, the debut album from Louisiana-born twenty year-old Dylan LeBlanc, is a solid and knowing release of country-tinged American folk which evidences great experience and maturity, especially from one so young.The country-folk blend which LeBlanc rapidly proves himself youthful master of is affirmed right from the albums' opening; 'Low' brings together picked acoustic guitar, brushed drums and gentle country twinges of pedal steel guitar over which LeBlanc's soothing whispered vocals sensitively meander. Suggesting LeBlanc as something of a countrified John Mayer, love song 'Low' announces his talent for writing beautiful soothing music. Interspersing melancholic down-temp numbers with occasional more driven tracks such as the banjo-ridden 'If Time Was For Wasting', which sounds resemblance to a more delicate cross between The Thrills and Mumford & Sons, Paupers Field ebbs and flows with great emotion and precision.
Comparisons with and influence of the likes of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Ryan Adams and Neil Young ooze throughout the album in every guise, from the gentle and meaningful 6/8 ballads 'Tuesday Night Rain' and 'On With The Night', to the intricately picked guitar which accompanies LeBlanc's heartfelt vocal throughout 'Emma Hartley', 'Ain't Too Good At Losing' and 'Death Of Outlaw Billy John'. The familiar storytelling nature of his lyrics also harks back to his main influences and the bluesy-folk roots of LeBlanc's style; so too the instrumentation, in particular the near-constant sounding of country-folk pedal steel guitar twinges and plucked banjo maintaining evidence of inspiration heavily rooted in Americana....full text
There's nothing wrong with it, per se. It's immaculate, sound-wise. Beautifully polished, smoothed to perfection. You can't fault the singer's pedigree hes the son of a Muscle Shoals session musician, and would hang out with legends like Spooner Oldham at the age of 11. He learnt to 'pick' a guitar a few years before that. His voice is wistful and crooning, with a slight lisp and hiccup, like a beautiful 20-year-old Louisiana version of Townes Van Zandt, or perhaps the less glamorous part of the She & Him equation, M. Ward. Nor can you fault the company that the singer keeps: Emmylou Harris adds vocals to If the Creek Don't Rise. The timing, the pace, the pedal steel a-howling in the background... faultless, as is the lyrical content (mostly please pity me, poor drunken wretch of a country singer that I am with some classic Gram Parsons-esque observations on love, loss and everything in-between). If Time Was for Wasting even sounds like Neil Young roaming the hills surrounding San Francisco.Paupers Field is all the above, and it's certainly not unpleasant to listen to, either. (You'll forgive the reviewer here if he wants to lapse into such trite clichés as his music slips down easy like a time-mellowed malt. Paupers Field sort of begs for such descriptive language.) And yet you still want something to jar LeBlanc out of his practised, world-weary melancholy. You want an abrasive edge to prove that his record company haven't just signed him to latch onto the current critical craze for the bland suburban folk of Fleet Foxes. Whereas Conor Oberst another obvious reference used to sing so crazed and histrionic you could forget his sallow youth, nothing it seems can shake Dylan LeBlanc out of his cosy country complacency....full text
Dylan LeBlanc was born in 1990-- a lifetime past the peak of FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. That's where his dad, country singer James LeBlanc, regularly cut sessions and also where young Dylan got an early musical education. You don't hear much Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, or Wilson Pickett in LeBlanc's assured debut, Paupers Field, though-- let alone many of the dozens of other country, soul, or rock acts that recorded down there. You do, however, hear a depth of experience somewhat at odds with LeBlanc's age, his sad voice prematurely scarred with regret and haunted by demons (drugs and alcohol reportedly played a role). This palpable darkness helps what could have otherwise been another run-of-the-mill Americana disc rise above anonymity, its evocative textures and atmosphere a welcome respite from too many milquetoast troubadours.Paupers Field draws its name from the place where the poor were buried, and LeBlanc has likened his songs to headstones commemorating "things that have died in my life." Given such a heavy outlook, it's no shock the compelling intimacy of songs such as "5th Avenue Bar", "Emma Hartley", and "Death of Outlaw Billy John" resonates in a way that doesn't exactly foster passive background listening. A great storyteller, LeBlanc draws you deep into the world he's depicting-- you can practically smell the decay - but for those few minutes there's nowhere else you'd like to be....full text

in response to new_skool91:
We were bad tonight. As awesome as Conley was in the 1st quarter, he was offensively absent the rest of the game. As good as OJ was in the first half, he disappeared in the second also. I think Hollins got a little greedy and played Conley a little too much too early. For us to have a chance there has to be a third effective scorer, and we just didn't have that. Monster game by Marc wasted.
Rudy wasn't bad (except that his 4 TO's probably led to 6 Utah points and robbed us of 2-4, the difference in the game), but relative to what is needed from him, it just wasn't enough. He pouted 2 years ago when he wasn't selected as an All Star; this is the time in which, if he thinks he's all that, he needs to step up. LaMarcus Aldridge did it big time at Portland last year and kept his team competitive when Roy went out.
Rudy's still playing like it's somebody else team to have and not his; the rebounds are up, which is cool, but there seems to be no sense of urgency in the way that he is playing. This passivist, little boy, simple-minded bootylicious mindset he tends to retreat into when messing up on offense (cuss & sulk while taking 2 plays off and essentially netting the team -4) needs to be crushed. If he could do this, it would both help this team win and boost him to the All Star status that he thinks he deserves; however, we are fortunate that it's not our only option.
OJ has to, can, and will be better than 3-12. He was catching and shooting and started out looking pretty good. Also, I thought from the jump that Conley needed to go for 20+ for us to win, and the way he was pwing Harris, scoring 9 in the 1st, I thought he was well on his way. He is career 45% or so from the field and finishes in the paint at about 60%, which is above average. On 18 shots, which is a lot, he should have hit 8-9, and tonight he missed some makeable ones. He has the speed to get himself more shots regularly if needed.
If we play like this vs. LA, we will be embarrassed. I know Pau is a renaissance man, but he is going to try and dunk on his brother and all over us again Sunday.
Time to re-find the Grind. We'll be OK!
New Skool I agree that Rudy needs to man up and stop sulking, but you or I went to the basket the way he has the last couple of games and got pushed while shooting jumpers or raked across the arms with no call.... I'd probably be fined for what I'd be forced to say to the refs. Rudy has to keep his head in the game. I blame Hollins and Conley for giving him the ball at the three point line. He needs to get the ball closer to the basket. Lastly, why can't coach get Pargo to run the offense and stop trying to go one on one? It's sicking watching selfish point guards.
