Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Sean O'Brien, who has 15 appearances in the RBS 6 Nations to his name, returns for Leinster while Paul O'Connell starts for Munster and Conor Murray is among the replacements.
Kiss admits the prospect of an all-Ireland club match is the perfect preparation for the coaching staff, led by Joe Schmidt, to assess who is in the best shape ahead of next month's internationals - and he is looking forward to seeing who shapes up.
"This is the real mettle, that's where you test yourself," Kiss told 2FM.
"November is not far away and we're looking forward to the weekend because, while these games are not what you select finally on, you certainly see some guys up against each other and see where they are.
"It is getting closer and closer, the players know it, and the stakes are rising.
"Players know that decisions will be based on performances. How they perform with their province, how they perform in training and feedback from their coaches.
"Put your hands up and you have a chance. We are not wiping anybody out, everybody has a chance."

Researchers have drawn the strongest link yet between these kinds of foods and risk of stroke. Specifically, University of Alabama researchers found that people who regularly ate foods traditionally found in the southern diet had a whopping 41 percent increased risk of stroke -- and in African-Americans, it was 63 percent higher risk.

I think that the facts got twisted a bit in this story. I would be willing to bet she scanned the ticket herself on the scanner for keno/megamillions etc..I've seen people do it before. These scanners dont work for scratchies. I've never seen a scanner anywhere that a customer can use to check scratchies. She would have to have given the ticket to the clerk to really find out if it was a winner by scanning it on the lotto machine thats behind the counter.
Scratchies for the win!
We are in a two-party dictatorship. You want change ? Vote third party
It's pretty sad that the trash-winner didnt keep her win.
This is a sadly hilarious story.
1. Arkansas
2 Kangaroo court
3 This case WILL be turned over-turned in appeal. I agree with the vast majority of comments in that this ticket is the "Bearer instrument" and signature concludes the winner. End of story. Though the 'machine arguement' is interesting you are high if you don't think that will be dismissed as 'user error.' As somebody mentioned the bar code may have been creased ect... in the end the state lottery won't be the one taking the heat.
4 It is commonplace in litigation to site other cases in order to support yours. Which I have NEVER seena case decided like this. Also the rules are on the back of the ticket and are to be followed VERBATIM. Not some hick judge in Ark. who make his own rules. Here in Mich. we have 10 cent deposit on bottles. Many people pick them up and return them. I am yet to see a homeless or thrifty individual be prosecuted for picking scrap metal out of somebody's trash or claim the deposit on a can of Pepsi he did not purchase. LAW MUST BE ACROSS THE BOARD! Reguardless of the money involved, otherwise you fight that the law in place IS TOO VAGUE! That is not the case with the rules on the back of a ticket. They are precise, poignant, and only a pinhead would misinterpret them, or an Ark. judge. In Michigan there is a PLAY IT AGAIN option on instant and draw games in which you can enter non-winning tickets and you get points so that you can get an assortment of swag/prizes...you also get an entry to be on our state lottery show to win a million bucks. Every 10 bucks of non-winners gives you an entry to this game show. I will be d#$med if somebody tries to deny me my option to be on this show cause I cash HUNDREDS of dollars a day in non-winners that i find in the trash and good f*%king luck trying to prove that your ticket was the one in the trash that I used and was randomly picked for me to be on the show. A detroit lawyer would of cut this judge into pieces. Hire Geoffrey Fieger and this case would of been thrown out on the first day. Not a plug, simply saying the guy is a beast.
Ms Duncan should split the winnings with Mrs. Jones. If it wasn't for Jones finding the ticket Duncan would have nothing she was the one that threw away $1 million dollars.
I agree 100%. The lady is lucky atleast someone picked it up. Now she has $1m thanks to the oddball woman. Otherwise she would have had nothing!
I don't know about Arkansas but anybody that sticks their hands in a garbage can in a store around here is gonna get a whole lotta nasty ol' tobaccy spit on 'em.
Everybody chews around here, inside and out.
You'd have to wipe the tobaccy spit off all the tickets to check 'em.
And some of them old time chewers hack up big globs of brown phlegm and spit it in there too.
You want them tickets, you can have 'em.
Sho ain't nobody fightin' over 'em.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship." -Tytler
I'm with you LottoMomma,
The lotto commision actually does a, lets call it a "pre interrogation" interview. This interview helps validate the ticket holder.
Where did you purchase the ticket?
What time did you buy the ticket?
Do you play all the time, or just once in a while?
Do you have a number system?
How many of the winning numbers do you remember?
Do you often choose your numbers?
Do you buy quick picks?
Any many more questions to follow.., so when its a show down to whom this ticket belongs to, the ladder shall prevail on the most convincing case.
Where I live, if you toss out a ticket not signed, It becomes someone elses chance if they go through the trash.
Would It be Awesome to know and figure out how many winning tickets get tossed out!?!
Your time here has finished...
Has anyone considered the amount of money that was spent by the lottery itself on read out scanners that simply do not work? What is the use of having read out scanners if they dont work? Would anyone buy a toilet seat that doesnt work a faucet a garage door anythin in this frinkin world if it doesnt work. This whole eposode began because the lottery installed read out scanners that simply do not work? It makes you wonder if you've ever thown away a winning ticke in the past.
This whole strory began when a women threw away a ticket that "the LOTTERIES READ OUT SCANNER" claimed was a loser. It said "SORRY NOT A WINNER" what kind of bull is that? So I check my ticket the scanner says its not a winnr I throw it away someone else goes through the trash find it and turns it in. And I am out everything all becaus of the "LOTTERYS READ OUT SCANNER" Wow thank you lottery people who created this whole scenrio in my life. How can I ever thank you.
Either have machines that work or stop spending money on faulty machines. That is a waste of money.
Or simply do a Solomon and split the baby in half
Split the money between the two women and be done with it.
Its not the womans fault that the scanner the lottery so invested in do not work and its not the womens falt who found the ticket.
so just split it and bedone with it.
Again whats the use of having scanners if they dont work?
they're useless.
actually the read out scanner does work its just that people f.. it up. anything you give to the public they put dirty hands on screen and also hit them when they loss like they hit there wives and dogs lots of crazy people out there. i dont use scanners in the first place i use lottery post on my mobile phone first and then use the state lottery website second to confirm my lucky win . lol
The lady who found it should have kept her yapper shut about it.
The judge was wrong.
According to her interview on The Today Show....she didn't tell the lottery that she won. She claims they did a routine investigation and via the survelliance video they learned that she didn't buy the ticket but fished it out of the garbaged. Personally...I don't believe her!!
What part don't you believe?
Naw, I have to disagree with EVERYBODY HERE. Why? Possession is 90% of the law...and in this case, just because someone threw away a winning ticket due to not checking it thoroughly, the person who found it and checked shouldn't be stripped of the winnings!!!!! This is total and complete BULLSH*T!!!! I can promise you that if it involved a prize of $50 on a scratch-off, there would be absolutely no issues!!!! However, because this woman wasn't thorough enough to make sure her ticket wasn't a winner, the judge now wants to penalize THE SMART PERSON THAT ACTUALLY GOES AROUND AND CHECKS DISCARDED TICKETS TO VALIDATE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE LEGIT WINNERS.
Hell, the ticket wasn't even signed!!! So, this means that if I throw away a $1000 scratch-off, and, someone else finds and claims it, I can file an appeal and get it back!!!! How corrupt is this? The bearer of the ticket is suppose to be the winner providing it wasn't stolen etc. Sorry, I totally disagree with this whole scenario...and the judge is wrong for ruling in this manner. It's the person's fault who threw away a winning ticket...not the discoverer's.
I agree 1000%... I believe Sharon (the finder) will win on Appeals!!
I don't believe that she didn't tell anyone, including the lottery officials that she found the ticket in the trash.
Yeah, that does sound a little suspect, thanks.
This is what i think...i think the clerk scanned another losing ticket that was just laying around and she kept the winner for herself. Say it doesn't happen, say it!

Panda Bear
Noah Lennox adopted the name Panda Bear in the late '90s, when he drew a picture of a panda on one of his first bedroom studio recordings. He grew up in Pennsylvania, went to college at the Boston University, and eventually found his way to New York City, where he met his future Animal Collective bandmates Avey Tare, Geologist, and Deakin. In addition to his work with Animal Collective, Jane, and Together, Lennox has released several solo albums. Young Prayer, an album largely influenced by the death of his father, was released in 2004, and Person Pitch, Lennox's second album on the Paw Tracks label, followed three years later. For his next solo album, Lennox made the decision to move away from samplers towards a more guitar-heavy sound. Working with producer Sonic Boom, Lennox released his fourth solo album, Tomboy, in 2011. ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi
wrong lyrics on Slow Motion!
you guys should start playing stuff from his first album, there are some really spectacular songs on it
In my defense I'm not pulling Enya out of left field. He mentions them in the Person Pitch liner notes, and possibly in an interview
I love pandas solo stuff in a different way than I do Animal Collective. He uses very personal lyrics. And you can see the Brian Wilson and even Enya (never thought i'd enjoy anything that sounded like Enya) influences. It creates a truly ethereal soundscape
just enjoy the tunes. whether it sounds like one band or the other or something so linked to a band you loved in the past, just take a stroll with the music. i'm not saying to completely become infatuated with this music or any other of the members, but to just let the music do the talking and not your mind. i mean, what does music do to anyone but give them a release from their mind's worries? if youre having a great day? throw on some upbeat tunes or songs that you know will excite you...if yo
He went to Boston University-- i t ' s annoying that it says University of Boston above which is totally different!
University of Boston? I always new on stage he was a fictional character from the movie "Road Trip"...I think he's actually a pimple on Tom Green's a**, unless he went to Boston University.. . I think he went to BU...Tom Green got that mole on his a** removed (drew barrymore).
panda bear is such the awesome band. where are they playing live?

The sign of a great musician: beg, borrow, and steal from a genius.
What Dylan did with Guthrie, so Panda Bear has done with Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson.
What Dylan did with Guthrie, so Panda Bear has done with Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson.
The work of Animal Collective and Panda Bear proves there is a fine line between madness and brilliance.
see u tonight;
noah i'm in love with you, i would drop everything for you.
Know this.
I would bow at your feet.
Love, now and forever,
Know this.
I would bow at your feet.

Beautiful and special!
Holy crap there guys rock!

Should be available at scrap value.Jill Abrabsom,you´re fired.
Love the Donald. This showman would either turn this dying leftist rag around or at least make an interesting TV show out of telling Tom Freidman, Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman and the rest, "You´re fired!"The Times is committing suicide, so why try to stop it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The Trump Times. The Old Grey Lady gets a facelift and an orange hair combover.He cheapens an already cheap rag just by buying it. Brilliant! Then hand it off to Carlos Slim like an old used up strumpet.Fitting end to a ´newspaper´ that prides itself in having no funnies.
And in the first issue of the Trump New York Times, Donald could print the pictures of the looks on the faces of all the hack "journalists" learning they now work for The Donald. That issue would sell millions from coast to coast.
He should wait a litle while, until the price is one dollar, like Newstweak.
I think it would be a good idea if more rich Repubs would buy up these Lib Papers.
Now THAT wold be helpful. Possibly more so than any of us can really imagine. All their BS has an origin, and the Times could well be argued to qualify as such.
#4, that definitely would get me to go into a Starbucks to buy an issue. I think this is something that should be explored by our side. But you realize that because it is somebody from our side doing the buying, the left would rather close down shop then let our side own the publication.
#8, I never saw a liberal who would turn down money. It even outweighs loyalty to their beliefs and conscience, if they ever had one. So, I wouldn´t be surprised if Trump did purchase it.
Trump trying to make news??? Hagan is trying to make a news story out of his very own opinion. That isn´t news either.
#6...I´m with you on this.Just picture it, Conservatives owning the NY Times, Chicago Tribune and L.A. Times!Ok ok, back on my meds.
Donald, some tips.Blackface...be real rich...hide who you are behind numerous corporations...be a foreigner to them...be excessively Lib...buy off the cronies...and you´re in.It would be easier to buy their advertisers off and force them into bankruptcy.
Wow, last week I fantasized that Murdock would buy the NYT, and get journalists by actively recruiting from places like Hillsdale College. What a coup that would be. I would subscribe to the times if it became conservative. The Donald would make things really interesting.

food wasn't that good, bathrooms smell horrible, plants over grown couldn't see the waterfalls from the table
The menu has a good selection of chinese and jamaician food however if you choose to eat in it is much more expensive than taking out. We ate in and took out and both meals were lovely and the service was good
My friend got married at Ruins... Such a beautiful place! It's a hidden gem like many places in Ochi. I assure you you will love Ruins. It's a place you will never forget. Let me not forget to mention how remarkably wonderful the staff is! They were so patient with us--they catered to our every need and I am sure... More
location was great for us as we stayed at the crane ridge- food was good- especially their festival bread- I had a stri fry with shrimp and there was enough for 2 people
We enjoyed our dinner at the beautiful Ruins restaurant in Ocho Rios. After a delightful dinner of jerk and seafood, the manager actually droe us home to our hotel so we wouldn't have to walk! Our server, Howard, was so king and we had a great evening in a beautiful setting.
I saw this Restaurant advertised in the Jamaican Tourist Board Magazine. My friend celebrated her 50th birthday at this restaurant in Septemebr. The food was great also the the silver service waiters. The price was good $30.00 US per haed which includes three courses with drinks for three hours. How can I complained would go back again.
ME and my family had a fantastic time here!!! Regards Ell payne

December 14, 2012EcoXGear
Music afloat is a luxury for me, whether rigging, sailing out to the racecourse, or chilling in the cockpit after a hard day. And nowadays, my music comes from only one device: my iPhone. iPhones, we all know, don't mix well with water, so the only way it's getting onboard is locked up tight in the EcoXGear hard case.

Cherokee Nation Revokes Citizenship Rights of Black Slave Descendants
Just a week ago this Monday, the Cherokee Nation's Supreme Court ruled that the tribe may revoke the citizenship rights of black members. The case stemmed from a 2007 vote in which the Nation amended its constitution to allow the expulsion of the descendants of Cherokee-held slaves; this inspired a lawsuit by the "Freedmen," as the black Cherokee are known. A district court found in favor of the Freedmen, but the Supreme Court overturned that ruling, arguing that the Cherokee alone have a right to determine who is and is not a fellow tribesman. The result is that these erstwhile Cherokees, approximately 3,000 strong, will now be denied benefits that inclusion in the tribe affords, such as free healthcare and education, and voting and housing rights.

Myers, who spoke during a press conference Friday, said he expects to complete an organizational assessment of the department – what he referred to as "an A to Z review."
"I'm here to study and learn about the department's culture, build on what's healthy, and work on what's not," he said.
The interim chief also said he will focus on building stronger ties between the police department and the community of Sanford.
"The relationship a police department has with its community is fundamental," he said.
City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. announced Myers arrival earlier this week, stating he looked at a number of candidates for the position. Bonaparte said he worked with the Police Executive Research Forum, as well as the NAACP and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives to make the decision. Myers was the first to be offered the position.
Myers will step in for former Police Chief Bill Lee, who left the department temporarily after commissioners made a vote of no confidence in him in late March.
Lee was publicly criticized when he did not arrest George Zimmerman following the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Although police initially contended Zimmerman acted in self-defense, Special Prosecutor Angela Corey has since brought 2nd-degree murder charges against him.
Just last week Lee attempted to permanently resign from his position, however commissioners rejected the proposal, stating they wanted to wait for further investigation into the department and the former chief.
Since Lee's step-down Capt. Darren Scott has filled the position of acting police chief for a more than a month.
Myers said, "Darren Scott served tirelessly in moving the police department forward through challenges few agencies ever see."
Additionally, Myers said he plans to reach out to Lee, who still remains on administrative leave with pay. Coming to Sanford, Myers said he was warned by many of his friends not to take Lee's former position.
"Many of my professional colleagues told me to turn and run in the opposite direction," he said.
Although Myers said he has never dealt with anything like the Trayvon Martin case, he does have experience in crisis management.
Coming from Colorado Springs, Colo., Myers previously headed a police department with more than 600 officers. During his time as police chief in Colorado Springs Myers faced a shrinking budget as well as several tragedies, including the loss of an officer and a major apartment complex fire that killed two people.
During his tenure in the department he also faced several controversies including the arrest of two Colorado Springs officers and an internal investigation into a case involving undercover officers.
Myers retired from the position in October, after the city switched to a form of government with a strong mayor. Myers said Friday his retirement was one of many in city hall when the new form of government and mayor came in.
Before his time in Colorado Springs Myers was the chief of departments in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. Bonaparte said it was Myers experience as a chief that led him to his appointment of the new interim police chief.

The Jacobus Vanderveer House and Museum in Bedminster is opening its doors for a presentation on the Pluckemin Cantonment, considered to be the first military training academy in America.
According to a release from the Friends of Jacobus Vanderveer House, General Henry Knox commanded the Pluckemin Cantonment while he stayed at the Jacobus Vanderveer House from 1778 to 1779 during the Revolutionary War.
The Cantonment itself, the release said, was said to be located in the area of town where the Hills of Bedminster is situated today.
Washington College professors John Seidel and Stewart Bruce are creating a virtual 3D model of the Cantonment, and they are planning to preview it during the upcoming presentation.
The presentation will be held Feb. 17 at 3:30 p.m. at the house off Route 202/206.
The Jacobus Vanderveer House will stay open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 17, as a historic re-enactor portrays Knox when the building is on the Heritage Trail Association's "Five Generals Tour" as one of five Revolutionary War headquarters.
"The digital virtual Cantonment is an exciting use of 21st century technology to tell an important 18th century story," said Leslie Mole, the latest past president of the Friends of the Jacobus Vanderveer House and chair of the Virtual Cantonment project. "This project will serve as the centerpiece for interpreting a significant lost treasure of the American Revolution."
The presentation, which is free, is intended for people ages 14 and older.
Registration is requested by sending an email to email@example.com.
The Jacobus Vanderveer House itself served as heaquarters for Knox during the war, and is the only known still standing building that was associated with the Pluckemin Artillery Cantonment.
The site is currently a National and New Jersey Historic Site.

5 (mostly) FREE things to do in Los Angeles
by Katie
Filed under Destinations, Tips & Deals, Travel + Wine
Los Angeles, California - The city of Champagne wishes, caviar dreams, and home to some of the rich and famous.
Luckily, not everything has to cost a pretty penny.
If you're on a travel budget, here are a few activities you can enjoy when you're in Los Angeles without breaking the bank:
1. Hollywood Walk of Fame
If you've never visited Los Angeles, this is a must-visit-to-check-off-the-list type of tourist trap that can actually be a lot of fun, especially if you love people-watching.
It's free to walk along the vibrant Hollywood Boulevard, search for your favorite movie star, and watch the out-of-work actors strut their stuff in full costume as they try to make a few bucks from pictures with tourists.
Although the boulevard stretches over a mile, most people center around the iconic Grauman's Chinese Theatre where you can find the "Forecourt of the Stars", featuring footprints, hand prints, and signatures of many Hollywood stars.
2. Getty Center
While the LACMA and Norton Simon Museums house amazing collections, nobody can beat the view at the Getty Center. Simply pay $15 for parking (or wait until 5pm and it's FREE!) and take the tram to the museum at the top of the hill. Admission is free.
Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy in the Central Garden, South Pavilion Terrace, or Museum Courtyard.
3. Malibu Family Wines
Located in glamorous Malibu, just a few short minutes north along the coast, is a winery with spectacular views and premium wines.
Visit the tasting room (call for seasonal hours) and check out the 1,000 acre property where over 100 movies and commercials have been filmed.
4. Santa Monica Pier
A pier with a carnival-like atmosphere, this is where it's all happening: local families out for a day of fun, tourists experiencing coastal California for the first time, and the occasional celebrity sighting.
Unless you want to pay a few bucks for a ride or games, it's free to enjoy the gorgeous ocean views and gentle breeze.
5. Griffith Observatory
If you want an awesome view of Los Angeles without the parking fees associated with the Getty Center, this observatory in Griffith Park is 100% free.
Visit for nice daytime views or find out when their telescope is operating for spectacular views of the night sky.
Wear good walking shoes if you want to take advantage of the miles of park trails.
Reader Question: Do you have a favorite hangout in Los Angeles? Leave a comment.

The following questions provide some important food for thought when shopping for small appliances. We have more information on how to choose specific products throughout this section, but this list of factors to consider is a great place to start.
1. Appearance: Are you likely to hide them in cabinets or in a pantry? Or will they spend most of their time on the counter? If the latter, do you want them to match your large appliances (which are likely to be in white, black or stainless steel)? Or do you want to add color or strengthen an existing color scheme by buying small appliances in a more adventurous shade?
2. Capacity: What quantities of food and beverages do you plan to produce with these appliances? Enough for one or two people, family dinners, or large parties?
3. Space: How much room do you have in your kitchen to store and to use these "small" appliances, some of which are actually rather big? Will they fit in the cabinets or underneath the cabinets? Do you have more wall space than counter space, in which case you might be better off choosing built-in instead of countertop models when possible (for example, with a microwave or a coffeemaker)? Can you save space by buying one appliance with multiple functions instead of multiple appliances with single functions?
4. Frequency of use. Will you use a particular appliance on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? Or will you only pull it out for special, rare occasions? You may want to invest more in a machine that has to stand up to regular abuse.
5. Ease of cleaning. Look for dishwasher-safe components unless you enjoy doing dishes by hand.
6. Corded or cordless. How portable do you need your portable appliances to be? Do you like to set up at a table that happens to be a little too far from an electrical outlet? Are you concerned about blowing a fuse?

Kupchak on Howard: "We got the best"
The Los Angeles Lakers introduced Dwight Howard on Friday after completing a four-team trade with the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets.
Howard spoke about how excited he is to be a Laker, but did his best to avoid any and all questions about the recent past and the near future. For Howard it was about the season ahead – not the lengthy drama that led to his departure from Orlando and not the uncertainty of his contract beyond the current year.
It doesn't make much financial sense for Howard to take an extension from the Lakers, which would only amount to three additional years. Once he hits free agency next July, he'll be eligible for a more-lucrative five-year deal.
Howard didn't hint he'd stay. He didn't suggest he wouldn't. He just chose to avoid the topic altogether.
The Lakers gave up Andrew Bynum, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga and draft considerations for Howard, completing this summer's monumental makeover as orchestrated by General Manager Mitch Kupchak and Executive President of Basketball Operations Jim Buss. Earlier in the summer, the team had added on Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison. Guard Jodie Meeks has agreed to terms. Jordan Hill was re-signed and the Lakers also brought in Chris Duhon and Earl Clark in the Howard deal.
After landing Nash, Kupchak noted it wasn't easy to hit a home run and that he didn't think he had another one in him.
On Friday, after welcoming Howard, Kupchak declared, "No more home runs."
Of course this story can't be truly judged until Howard re-signs next July, if he re-signs. The Lakers will have the ability to pay him more than any other team, which certainly works in their favor.
"Our feeling was, no matter what anybody said, let's just get him to Los Angeles and we'll take our chances," said Kupchak. "In fact, in all my years there's only one player who left Los Angeles, and I'm still not sure why he did it, and that's A.C. Green."
Green would eventually return to help Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant win their first titles together in 2000.
Kupchak helped guide the Lakers from the original three-peat to the Pau Gasol/Bryant era that resulted in back-to-back titles. Now he's put together a team that can boast a pair of League MVPs in the backcourt, two Defensive Players of the Year in the front.
"Certainly they're an accomplished starting-five," said Kupchak. "I wish they were all 22. I'd feel a lot better than I do now, but I feel pretty good."
The Lakers didn't give up Gasol to Orlando as rumored.
"Pau was never part of a deal this summer," said Kupchak.
They didn't take on egregious salary. Clark is an expiring contract. Duhon is owed $3.75 million for 2013-14 but only about $1.5 million is guaranteed.
Certainly the Lakers are heavily invested with a payroll that is nearing $100 million before luxury taxes. That amount won't dip much at all, assuming Howard does re-sign – just as the luxury tax rates starts to amplify.
Kupchak tried to deflect some of the credit for his work.
"Since [the Buss family] bought the franchise back in 1979, it just seems like they've always found a way to make good things happen," said the Laker GM. "There's an expression that it starts at the top and I think that expression holds true here."
Gradually the "top" has shifted from owner Dr. Jerry Buss and son/successor Jim Buss. It was not an easy transition which at times had polarized with former Head Coach Phil Jackson and Lakers Executive Vice President of Business Operations Jeanie Buss on one side and Jim on the other.
Kupchak found himself somewhere in the middle, trying to please all sides and still field a championship-caliber team.
On Friday Jeanie, who has kept a relatively low profile around the team publicly since Jackson departed, and Jimmy sat together in the front row to watch Howard's introduction. They later flanked Howard for pictures, a new era of detente between the Laker siblings.
Meanwhile earlier in the day, teammates Bryant and Gasol set the stage for a Team USA-Spain rematch in the Olympic finals. Bryant had been fiercely protective of Gasol and now, together, the pair will come back home with an even deeper and more-talented Laker roster.
"When it comes down to it, and I've always said it, everyone who owns a family-owned business, they want to make a profit so their business can survive and prosper. Dr. Buss and his family are very competitive," said Kupchak. "When it comes to a couple dollars or $10 million dollars and putting up another banner, he can't help himself. He's chooses to go for the banner."
So will Howard, whose final season in Orlando ended prematurely after a back injury, be able to recover in time from offseason surgery to play on the October 30th opener?
Howard couldn't say, noting he's still not cleared to run or play any real basketball.
"Well it's a concern of course, but I had two back surgeries when they used rocks and rebar to open up a back," joked Kupchak. "Today, 35-40 years later, they're so sophisticated. Players come back in six or seven months. We feel very sure that he's going to be back, we're hopeful he's back for camp. We're hopeful he's back for the start of the season. But, we know he's going to be and playing at a high level at some point and time."
Kupchak certainly didn't seem worried about the back or about Howard's expiring contract.
"I think up in my office he was very warm and seemed sincere and excited about being here," said Kupchak. "I thought he did a good job at the press conference at disarming the media. There's some pretty hostile questions that had to be asked, that's the job and he knows it. I think he handled it well."
In saying goodbye to Bynum, Kupchak had nothing but praise, noting he very well could have been the team's long-term center had things not resolved as they did with Howard.
"[Bynum] played seven years here. He had a great career. Unfortunately he had two freak injuries that set him back a little bit, but we're talking about the starting center in the West being traded for the starting center in the East. So, I don't think anybody has to defend Andrew Bynum's accomplishments," said Kupchak. "He's going to an area that's a little closer to home. He is going to continue grow on and off the court. We had no concerns."
So then why go through all these months of trouble to trade the second-best center in the league for the best?
"You answered your own question," said Kupchak. "We got the best."
Additional Players
The Lakers are expected to sign Jodie Meeks in the coming days.
"We've had some pretty intimate conversations with his representatives," said Kupchak. "Clearly he'd be a backup to Kobe in the backcourt. I'm not sure he'd be a small forward. I think he can bring the ball up a little bit, but that's not what you'd let him do . . . he has great range, more than an adequate defender, is a great kid. With our team, players who can shoot the ball make it easier for everybody."
Kupchak had little to say about Earl Clark, acquired in the Magic deal but elaborated on Chris Duhon.
"Well putting Josh McRoberts in the deal, we needed to get a big player back," said Kupchak. "And Chris' contributions, although he went do Duke which is always a problem for me, I told him so this morning. He's a good player. He's going to give us a lot of depth in the backcourt. We like Darius Morris, but he's only a second-year player who didn't play a lot last year. With Nash, Duhon and Blake we have a lot of depth at that position."
The Lakers also have a qualifying offer out to Devin Ebanks, who is expected to sign it soon and stay with the team for another season.
LA has been linked to Kenyon Martin, although the roster would seem full in the front court if Clark is the fifth big behind Howard, Gasol, Antawn Jamison and Jordan Hill. Martin would seem to be a stretch at this point, although the Lakers seem to be pushing all of their chips into the middle of the table.
With Ebanks, Meeks and Andrew Goudelock, who has a non-guaranteed contract, the team would have 14 players. The Lakers also have the rights to second-round picks Darius Johnson-Odom and Robert Sacre but neither has signed yet.
Kupchak on Negotiating the Deal
"Well while it certainly took a lot longer than most deals take. Obviously, this has been going on for quite some time. We actually had discussion prior to the trade deadline back in March. Nothing ever got to the point where we thought we had a deal. In fact, to credit Rob Hennigan the GM of Orlando Magic, it got to the point for me where it was quite frankly frustrating. What he was doing was his job, which was to sort out and seek out the best possible deal for the organization.
"So up until two days ago I didn't feel there would be a deal to get Dwight here to Los Angeles, but on Wednesday afternoon from Rob making a proposal and here it is less than 48 hours later. Yesterday was a pretty fast moving day in negotiation but last night we had a four-team conference call and we all agreed to keep it quiet. Twenty minutes later, on my ride home, someone had the exact deal on radio. For having done this for some many years there wasn't a comfort level until nine o'clock [Friday], we had the trade call and the deal was done."
"I don't have a relationship with Rob like I do the other GMs because it takes time to get to know somebody, so I have to learn his style. But, looking back on it he did exactly what he was supposed to do. He took his time, looked at every opportunity, narrowed it down, negotiated, went to other teams, negotiated some more and kept coming back to you. I never thought it would be a four team deal, I thought it might be a three team deal. Even when I thought there might be a deal he went and found a fourth to make it a better deal."
"I just never felt that there was a deal that they thought they would do. Without going into great detail I just felt the Magic were just canvasing the league, which is the job. There's a timetable for everybody, but our timetable should have no impact on their timetable. Up until Wednesday I didn't think there was going to be a deal. It got really quiet a couple weeks ago, before then it was really crazy, then it just died. So we had kind of moved on, we signed Jordan Hill, Antawn Jamison and thought it was over."
"Rookies, who were signed, can't be traded for 30 days and I think [Mo] Harkless was signed 31 days ago. That may have had something to do with [the delay]. Maybe they were waiting and maybe they knew they were going to do something with Philly and they weren't going to tell us about it until they were sure. And I know Denver was a late entry that really didn't commit until recently. I'm starting to think there was always something there between Orlando and Philly, but they had to wait."
"When you're able to keep Pau and get Howard I know I'm ecstatic, I know Jim Buss is and I know Coach [Mike Brown] is. When we told him yesterday after we had the conference call I told Mike I thought we have a deal"
"He looked at me and asked 'Who we're getting?'"
"I said 'Dwight.'"
"He said 'Who is going out?', and I said 'Andrew'"
"He said 'That's all?'"
"I said, of course, "Josh, Christian, draft picks.'"
"He said 'No Pau?'"
"I said 'No Pau.'"
"And he jumped out of his chair and hugged me."

Tucson Artists Support Terry Goddard for Governor
Monday, August 30th, 2010
A large number of local artists who may have remained silent in the past are now beginning to speak out and want a change in Arizona leadership. Those I interviewed for this article told me they have become a lot like the fictional character, Howard Beale, in the old movie NETWORK…. "We are mad as hell and don't want to take it any more!"
They stated to me that all they see coming from the present administration are cutbacks on anything to do with art and arts education. " All non-profits that have anything to do with the arts are barely hanging on for survival. Great public facilities like Access Tucson, arts organizations like the Tucson Pima Arts Council are having to cut staff and many programs that have been important to the community for many years," they said.
To accomplish their mission they will be expressing it through the method they know best….their art. They have formed a Goddard's Got Art committee, an Arizona political committee, and are soliciting project proposals from artists who wish to participate in their effort to elect Terry Goddard to the office of Governor of Arizona.
The group announced a competitive $5,000.00 fund for the creation and production of new works of art by Arizona artists. The works are to be commissioned and premiered at an event in Tucson, AZ in October 2010.
Five artists will be granted $1,000.00 each for a political work of art that celebrates, motivates and excites the electorate with the purpose of electing Terry Goddard to the office of Governor of Arizona.
The goals of their program are as follows:
1.To use the works of arts to encourage the electorate to vote for Terry Goddard, a supporter of the arts in our community.
2.To encourage the creative endeavors and professional development of highly gifted Arizona artists.
3.To engage the arts community in the political process in order to build a larger voting base for politicians who support the arts and arts funding in Arizona.
4.To stimulate a broader knowledge of our arts community
For the artists wanting to participate in this event and to apply for the $1,000.00 grant, artists have to submit a proposal by September 1, by 5 PM for a work of art that they would produce to be shown at the Committee's October event. Artists who are eligible to vote are required to be registered to vote as a requirement for consideration for these grants.
The works of art can be from one of eight categories: installation, video, music, performance, 2D art, writings, sculpture or an open category, though only five grants will be awarded. Artists will retain ownership of their work but will grant the Goddard's Got Art committee and any designee of the committee possession of the work and/or a non-exclusive license of those works through the 2010 election season for use in any way deemed appropriate by the committee (including using images on web sites, posters, etc.).
Anyone wanting to apply or find out more details should go to their facebook site and click info.:
They have produced a T-Shirt with the message GODDARD, GOT ART, "Say Goodbye Jan Brewer." It will be sold to the public soon.
Chair of the committee, Susan Gamble, artist and owner of Santa Theresa Tile Works in Tucson, says, "The arts community in Southern Arizona is strong and our voice should be heard in this election. Artists are frequently asked to donate their work to causes. This approach acknowledges the unique role art has in our society and its ability to reach across words and images to activate others," Gamble explains. "We want to get the word out that artists' involvement in this election is key to turning around this state."
Throughout the history of the world artists have expressed themselves and have caused many societies to "wake-up!" Looks like our Tucson art community is planning on doing that for Arizona. "Terry Goodard has a reputation for supporting the arts and education throughout his career," they re-emphasized to me. Sounds like Jan Brewer may have awakened "a sleeping giant."
