Karl Rove wants you to sign petition for Warren Buffet to pay more taxes after Buffet bails out BofA
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012Amazing. Karl Rove's tactics are becoming old and mundane. He is out of touch with the "regular" American people who remember political statements and history (thanks to the internet / Info Age). Rove is now circulating a petition asking Warren Buffet to pay more taxes forgetting the fact that Buffet is one of the biggest givers out there and has proven his American patriotism time and time again when investing his own money into American companies.
I guess Karl Rove didn't get the memo when Warren Buffet invested $5 BILLION of his own money to invest in Bank of America (BofA) and thwarted more financial scares and downturns of our financial markets? Yes, that's right. Buffet helped to restore confidence into an American Company, and if Rove hasn't read about it, I suggest he read it in the WSJ.
Speaking of putting your money where your mouth is …. Rove's CrossRoads spends millions of dollars in negative political advertisements. I have news for Rove … his antiquated divisive political thinking is getting old during a time in which Americans look to healing. Americans are tired of the fringe groups and Party partisan tactics.
Warren Buffet has given, but where is Rove at when it comes to the art of giving? Imagine that, Buffet bails out an American company risking $5 BILLION (not Million) — $5 BILLION of his own money but it ain't good enough. Perhaps Rove should concentrate on REAL efforts on more productive measures starting with the doing away of oil subsidies. Millions given to oil companies through subsidies will help bring the American economy out of debt.
From CATO:
• Buffett Invests $5 Billion in BofA (WSJ)
• Bank of America Says Buffett's Berkshire Will Invest $5 Billion (Bloomberg)

(6)A Nightmarish Thriller to Watch in the Dark
By Kubular (1 review) , 25 Aug 2012I've been on a bit of an Argento kick lately which has kind been coming on since I was first introduced to Deep Red at university. I'd heard that Four Flies hadn't faired well critically when it was originally released and I presume this is why it's taken so long to have been given a proper international release.
I can see why it might not have done so well at the cinema, the film can be strange and very dreamlike, but that's not always a bad thing. It's also a very solid thriller and the dreamlike sequences and editing provide a distinct sense of confusion and paranoia - emotions which haunt the main character for the duration of the film.
Four Flies feels very gothic to me - something that Argento's later films (such as Deep Red or Phenomena) seem to move away from. It also contains one of the most haunting and chilling endings I've ever seen in a horror film. Almost as haunting as Let the Right One In. And although one of the things I love most about Argento's films are his endings, this one tops the lot (of the ones I've seen so far).
This is Argento exploring the nightmarish world of a man driven to madness through murder and blackmail. And that nightmare is very vividly portrayed.
If you're interested in introducing yourself to Dario Argento I'd be more likely to recommend Deep Red or Tenebrae than this. But if you're just curious as to wether Four Flies is worth a watch I wouldn't hesitate to say yes.- Was this review helpful to you?

bitten by nats
By juradino (815 reviews) from London , 02 May 2012Starts off intriguing with homage to caught with knife in hand scene in North by Northwest. After it gets silly and inconsequential.

Very good with flashes of later skill!
By jesuskenevil (246 reviews) from Bruton , 21 Mar 2012This early Argento movie is a pretty mixed bag as usual, some terrible acting counterpointed with some serious brilliant scenes. The unexplained execution dream is a particularly interesting sequence as is the final reveal!- Was this review helpful to you?

Argento's 'lost' film
By JoeScaramanga (1 review) , 14 Feb 2012Having only previously seen FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET in a fuzzy, washed-out, badly framed bootleg, I was looking forward to seeing the restored version of Argento's 'lost film'.
The clean up job is superb. The picture looked absolutely stunning and the sound (bar a couple of glitches) was similarly excellent.
The film, however, is far from a classic. Maybe Argento set his bar too high with debut, but this, along with CAT O NINE TAILS, seem very weak beer in comparison to BIRD WITH CRYSTAL PLUMAGE and, his next giallo, DEEP RED.
Michael Brandon is a drummer in an awful jazz/funk band (who's sound is so 'out there' no one's going to notice how bad they are) who accidentally kills a man who he thinks is following him, and is then pyshcologically blackmailed by a witness who photographed the crime whilst wearing a truly unnerving plastic mask.
Obviously, this being an Argento giallo there's much more to it than just that, and he layers on the subtext, wild imagery and enough red herrings to start a sardine factory.
There is stuff to like here, but it's also a bit of a disappointment, for various reasons.
The cast is pretty poor as a whole. Brandon (still best known in the UK as the testosterone-fuelled, fish-out-of-water, 'bloody Yank' cop in DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE, is a very bland hero. He always looks to be on the verge of tears, never convinces as a drummer, and ultimately does nothing to solve the mystery.
Mimsy Farmer is equally wooden as his wife.
On the flipside Jean-Pierre Marielle overacts wildly as a gay private detective that Brandon hires.
I couldn't escape the feeling that Argento was never confident in his own script. It's never as neat (or convoluted, depending on your taste) as the best gialli, and simply shuffles from one set piece to the next.
The first 30 minutes are a wild mash of directorial florishes, and clever ideas, with Argento chucking everything at the screen (including a POV shot from inside a guitar!), but then he seems to lose interest and it just settles down into a fairly standard murder mystery. There is, however, a wonderful nod to THE BIRDS, later on, where someone who wants to blackmail the blackmailer sits in a park, which creepily empties as a twee tune plays in the background.
Giallo (and Argento) fans will clearly get something out of it. It's not a complete duff, but it's one of Argento's lesser works from the 70s.- Was this review helpful to you?

Kristen Stewart has the only Twilight related nomination in this year's Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Yes, you read that correctly, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner did not make the cut. Also not making the cut in the favorite book category was the Bree Tanner novella. According to On The Red Carpet , here are the nominees in Kristen's category:
"Favorite Movie Actress
Miley Cyrus ("The Last Song")
Ashley Judd ("Tooth Fairy")
Kristen Stewart ("The Twilight Saga: Eclipse")
Emma Watson ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1″)"
Given that it's the Kid's Choice and not the Teen Choice awards, look out for Miley Cyrus to bring the strongest competition. It's not a Twilight vs. Harry Potter showdown, per-say. It's more like a three way battle with Miley leading the charge.
VOTING and MORE INFO click HERE The show airs live from the Galen Center at USC in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 2, at 8 p.m. ET.

if all you like to ride is park then it is heaven. chill vibe, sometimes a bit too chill. staff can get a little lazy at times. if you're a new rider looking to get into park it may be a bit intimidating. if you're going to be in the area, check out cardrona across the valley. i thought their park had a better flow to it than snowpark.

you could ride the "beginner" section at SP no problem. i think they switch up the rail/box features every year and the jumps stay pretty standard. 20,25 and 35 for intermediate stuff. the big jump line goes 45,45,60 if i remember correctly. they do hold a ton of comps over the course of the season as well as build special features for pros only. they do close off parts of the hill for these events and SP isn't a big place.

House Hearing On Obama's Unilateral Action To Cease Enforcing Laws - Live Webcast
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 11:02The House Judiciary Committee is about to discuss what it calls "The President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws," focusing on the Obamacare delays, enforcement of immigration laws, and more. As Mediaite notes, the question of whether the president can take unilateral action to cease enforcing laws stretches back at least to last summer, when President Barack Obama said he would stop deporting young undocumented immigrants, an end-run around congressional refusal to pass the DREAM Act. Executive orders have played a part in everything from the non-enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act to the administration's "fix" two weeks ago allowing insurance providers to renew policies cancelled after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. It seems the constitutional lawyers want to have their say in the "most transparent" administration ever.

Detroit Eligible To File Chapter 9; Pension Haircuts Allowed Bankruptcy Judge Rules
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 10:53Update, and it's official: JUDGE: DETROIT ELIGIBLE FOR IMMEDIATE BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, DETROIT TO REMAIN UNDER BANKRUPTCY COURT PROTECTION, JUDGE SAYS
As somewhat expected - though hoped against by many Detroit union workers - Judge Steven Rhodes appears to have confirmed Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy protection (after pointing out that the city's accounting was accurate and it is indeed insolvent) making this the largest ever muni bankruptcy.
The city will now begin working toward its next major move - the submission of a plan to re-adjust its more than $18 billion in debt - including significant haircuts for pension funds (possibly 16c on the dollar recovery) and bondholders. With Detroit as precedent, we can only imagine the torrent of other cities in trouble that will be willing to fold.

Brits Draw Down Record Amounts Of Savings To Cover Rising Cost of Living
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 10:42In the most dramatic evidence yet that Britons are paying for the rising cost of living by raiding savings, Yahoo UK reports that households are pulling money out of their savings accounts at the fastest rate in modern record, according to Bank of England figures. Since the recent recession began, millions of workers have suffered repeated effective pay cuts as inflation has outstripped pay rises, and while consumer spending was one of the main contributors to the sharp rise in gross domestic product in the third quarter, "consumer strength usually reflects increased borrowing but this hasn't been the key factor recently."

Richemont Chairman Warns Global Economy Is "Very Precarious... There Will Be Tears"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 10:11While most of the world's elites are bathing in a sea of liquidity and propagandizing the status quo to keep the dream alive, Richemont Chairman Johann Rupert has unleashed a torrent of uncomfortable truthiness this morning:
And while things are good now, the owner of the Cartier brand warned if the global economy doesn't do well, Richemont is not well positioned.

With Top 4 US Banks Holding $217 Trillion In Derivatives, Total Number Of US Banks Drops To Record Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 09:49Overnight, the WSJ reported a financial factoid well-known to regular readers: namely that as a result of a broken system that ever since the LTCM bailout has encouraged banks to become take on so much risk they become systematically important (as in their failure would "end capitalism as we know it"), and thus Too Big To Fail, there has been an unprecedented roll-up of existing financial institutions especially among the top, while the smaller, less "relevant", if far more prudent banks have been forced out of business. "The decline in bank numbers, from a peak of more than 18,000, has come almost entirely in the form of exits by banks with less than $100 million in assets, with the bulk occurring between 1984 and 2011. More than 10,000 banks left the industry during that period as a result of mergers, consolidations or failures, FDIC data show. About 17% of the banks collapsed."

Silver Slumps To $19 As Precious Metal Smackdown Continues
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 09:30The overnight session was relatively quiet as precious metals trod water while equity markets tumbled. However, as the US equity cash session looms, silver and gold are coming under renewed selling pressure (and the USD bid) in a seeming effort to provide some rotational bid to stocks into the open (just like yesterday). This is the lowest for Gold ($1218) and Silver ($19.01) since July.

Black "Weekend" Shopper Traffic Down 4% Led By Plunge In Electronics
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 09:22Over the Thursday-Sunday Black "Weekend", Shoppertrak reports that traffic fell a notable 4% from last year with sales up a measly 1% - very much in line with our expectations of a weak holiday spending season. Total in-store shopper traffic increased by 9.4% in the apparel sector, while traffic in the electronics sector decreased by 6.5% for that same time period. Regionally, traffic fell the most in the Northeast (-9.8%) and the Midwest saw the largest drop in sales (-2.9%) with only the West increasing notably (+5.5%).

Abe-No-Mucs: Regular Japanese Wages Decline For 17th Consecutive Month
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 08:54While on the surface total cash earnings posted the smallest possible monthly increase, or 0.1%, in October - the first rise in 4 months - the reality is that this was driven by overtime pay, which increased by 5.4%. However, the far more important component of worker compensation, regular pay, declined by 0.4% in the month. This was the 17th consecutive decline in core pay and is a glowing testament to just how flawed Abenomics has been since its inception due to its staunch inability to shift employer eagerness to boost pay even in an economy where unemployment is supposedly so much less than in the US and thus worker slack is far less prominent. Turns out that is not the case.

Another Central Bank Warns Of Bitcoin Risks
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 08:31First the ECB, then the Fed, and now the Dutch central bank have come out and explicitly warned of the dangers of virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Their explicit statement this morning, raising questions about deposit guarantees, central issuer responsibility, and volatility do their best to inform potential users (or traders) of the alternative currency that it is the devil incarnate. It seems, despite the mainstream media's guffawing at the swings and outrageous fortune in the market's early days, that the powers that be see these crypto-currencies as anything but benign.

Bill Gross Explains What "Keeps Him Up At Night"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 08:14"What keeps us up at night? Well I can't speak for the others, having spoken too much already to please PIMCO's marketing specialists, but I will give you some thoughts about what keeps Mohamed and me up at night. Mohamed, the creator of the "New Normal" characterization of our post-Lehman global economy, now focuses on the possibility of a" T junction" investment future where markets approach a time-uncertain inflection point, and then head either bubbly right or bubble-popping left due to the negative aspects of fiscal and monetary policies in a highly levered world. ... investors are all playing the same dangerous game that depends on a near perpetual policy of cheap financing and artificially low interest rates in a desperate gamble to promote growth. The Fed, the BOJ (certainly), the ECB and the BOE are setting the example for global markets, basically telling investors that they have no alternative than to invest in riskier assets or to lever high quality assets. "You have no other choice," their policies insinuate.... Deep in the bowels of central banks research staffs must lay the unmodelable fear that zero-bound interest rates supporting Dow 16,000 stock prices will slowly lose momentum after the real economy fails to reach orbit, even with zero-bound yields and QE." - Bill Gross

Goldman Reveals "Top Trade" Reco #5 For 2014: Sell Protection On 7-Year CDX IG21 Junior Mezzanine Tranche
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 07:22If the London Whale trade was JPM selling CDS in tranches and in whole on IG9 and then more, and then even more in an attempt to corner the entire illiquid IG9 market and then crashing and burning spectacularly due to virtually unlimited downside, Goldman's top trade #5 for 2014 is somewhat the opposite (if only for Goldman): the firm is inviting clients to sell CDS on the junior Mezz tranche (3%-7%) of IG21 at 464 bps currently, where Goldman "would apply an initial spread target and stop loss of 395bp and 585bp, respectively. Assuming a one-year investment horizon, the breakeven spread on this trade is roughly 554bp (that is, 90bp wider than where it currently trades)." In other words, Goldman is going long said tranche which in an environment of record credit bubble conditions and all time tights across credit land is once again, the right trade. Do what Goldman does and all that...

Futures Slide As A Result Of Yen Carry Unwind On Double POMO Day
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2013 - 07:06Something snapped overnight, moments after the EURJPY breached 140.00 for the first time since October 2008 - starting then, the dramatic weakening that the JPY had been undergoing for days ended as if by magic, and the so critical for the E-Mini EURJPY tumbled nearly 100 pips and was trading just over 139.2 at last check, in turn dragging futures materially lower with it. Considering various TV commentators described yesterday's 0.27% decline as a "sharp selloff" we can only imagine the sirens that must be going off across the land as the now generic and unsurprising overnight carry currency meltup is missing. Still, while it is easy to proclaim that today will follow yesterday's trend, and stocks will "selloff sharply", we remind readers that today is yet another infamous double POMO today when the NY Fed will monetize up to a total of $5 billion once at 11am and once at 2 pm.

Thailand Police & Military Step Aside As Anti-Government Protesters Reach PM's Office; Declare Victory
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/02/2013 - 23:56As the "peoples' coup" in Thailand gets the blessing of the country's Military leader (who stated he would not intervene), the police have also undertaken an unexpected reversal of strategy by removing barriers from the heavily fortified police and government buildings. The government no longer wants to confront the protesters in the 3rd of fighting with 3 dead and at least 230 injured. As AP reports, the protesters have made no attempts (yet) to enter Government House but are milling around the entrance. The government has 'asked' people to stay inside and police helicopters are reportedly dropping leaflets warning demonstrators to move out of the rally sites (on grounds of insurrection and possibel death penalty). The anti-government protesters have declared "victory" as the police state "there will be no tear gas today."

Obamacare Website Costs Top $1 Billion
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/02/2013 - 22:58Although the GAO has made clear the limitations of its data, its $394 million tally for work through March 31 has been widely cited as the price tag for the entire launch of the "Affordable" Care Act. However, as Bloomberg's Peter Gosselin finds, looking at the full range of ACA-related contracts for just 10 firms, more than $1 billion worth of contract awards. Perhaps even more mind-blowing is that more than one third of the funds going to the top contractors working on the federal exchanges were awarded in the last six months - even as it was clear the project was failing.

Reviews for The Leaderless Revolution
An Excerpt from The Leaderless Revolution
The Leaderless Revolution explains why our government institutions are inadequate to the task of solving major problems and offers a set of steps we can take to create lasting and workable solutions ourselves. In taking these steps, we can not only reclaim the control we have lost, but also a sense of meaning and community so elusive in the current circumstance. In a day and age when things feel bleak and beyond our control, this powerful and personal book will revive one's sense of hope that a better, more just and equitable order lies within our reach-if only we are willing to grasp it. -The Guardian "So bold, so full of incontestable truths and overwhelming convictions, that it should be read by every diplomat, politician and thinking citizen with the courage to pick it up." -John le Carré |

So I've finally decided to stray away from the norm and try DoggCrapp. I agree with Dante's methods as far as low volume training to failure and high protein/moderate carb/fat ratios. I did a litte DC experiment last week and it went great. I'm 21 5'8 220ish give or take a few and I have a 33.5 in waist (don't know bf%). My plan for DC is sort of a recomp. I plan on a 100% clean diet with no cheat meals and cardio 3-4x per week on my off days. I also intend on gaining strength and mass on this program by following an extremely high protein (2g per lb) and moderate carb and fat ratio not combining carbs and fats in the same meal and carb cutoffs around 6-7 pm. I'm following the classic DC Split:
Day 1
Back Width
Back Thickness
Day 2
I will Train MWF and do cardio T TH SAT
i will be starting and be posting my exact routine tomorrow

text: What are your thoughts on "Jack Bauer in space" syndrome (i.e. the growing trend to remove the choice between good and evil from RPGs)? I haven't played Mass Effect, so I can't comment on the qualities of the game or the "Bauer in space" syndrome, but here is what I think about good and evil choices: Good and evil are subjective concepts and I think that developers should never present the player with clearly marked "good" and "evil" options. Since [this is] a Star Wars site, let's use the Anakin's fall in Ep. 3. From his perspective the mistrustful and arrogant Jedi Council plotted against and tried to assassinate the chancellor chosen by everyone, the chancellor who supported and trusted him. Was siding with the chancellor and turning against the Jedi an evil act? Not at all. Anakin was given reasons to act the way he did, and that's how RPGs should be designed. Sides in conflicts and choices should never be black and white, good and evil. There should be reasons for acting this way or that way, for supporting the Jedi or sticking with the Sith, for saving a village or letting them die. Then and only then someone will judge your actions and slap labels like "good" or "evil" on them. People who are with us are "good", people who are against us are "evil". Isn't how it usually works? In AoD there are no default enemies and no good and evil choices. You make decisions that make sense to your character, you side with people and factions that you agree with the most, and then some factions will see you as a great guy and some factions will see you as an evil bastard who should be killed with extreme prejudice.

Not sure how legit this is, but it's out there and indicates that Masai and Casey are in lock-step. Also sounds like they want to add 4 players (vets?) to the roster. http://raptorfan.ca/2013/06/11/break...h-coach-casey/
Throwing in here because I think it adds to the convo. Thoughts?
Here's a bit more about Ujiri/Kroenke:
JK: "I've known Masai for a number of years, dating to his time here as a scout. He and I had an agreement and the agreement that we came to was the number that he asked for. When Toronto came calling, that was the one opportunity that I knew he might leave us for and that resulted in Masai and I having a conversation. It wasn't a black and white situation which I think a lot of people tried to make it around the contract - which was the money - and I don't think it was a situation regarding money at all. I know people say that all the time because of the amount of dollars thrown around in this league, but there are a lot of close relationships involved as well."
What can we get from this statement? Not putting pen to paper after the 76ers came calling cost the Nuggets Masai Ujiri. Money aside, the Raptors job obviously meant a lot to Ujiri and not locking him up opened up the opportunity for Ujiri to head "home" as he called it.JK: "Masai told me not to. He said, "You know Josh I'm not going to tell you match. I think I've already made my decision." His press conference was very revealing because it showed his affinity for the city of Toronto. In his opening statement he said, "I'm home" several times. I don't think it was intention to move on from Denver very quickly, but Toronto was always a special place for him as well. His career started here as a scout, then he moved to Toronto, then he came back here, and now he's back in Toronto. As far as matching the offer, Masai told me not to. I said, "Well buddy, if that's your decision then we're not even gonna have the conversation. I wish him the best. I know it's a tough thing for Nuggets fans to lose somebody like Masai, but I can assure all the fans that we're gonna be fine. We're excited about the future, hopefully they trust me at this point in time, somewhat, because I was the guy that hired Masai.
"There was a lot of criticism that came my way, initially, in the Melo process for picking a novice like Masai. I think he and I navigated that pretty fine. I think whatever decision I make regarding our front office and our coach, going forward, is going to be the best one both short and long-term for the Nuggets.
your pal,
Intersting. If it's legit that is. Thought the blurb on Lowry was a nice tidbit too...
Q: Klow – I loved the guy in Houston, loved the acquisition when it happened, did well in the begging on the year, then tailed off. What happened? and is He STILL the GUY for this team?
DC …(para phrasing) Lowry has the skill set to make him a great player. Kyle (and he'll the first to tell you this) was in the worst shape of his career coming into this season. He missed training camp bc of the abdominal injury and even when he came back he wasn't 100%. Once he went down, Jose came in and we reeled off 5-6 wins in a row. That added to the psyche of Kyle. First injury now his role being compromised. When he returned, he still wasn't 100% and got fatigued often. There were times when you saw guys blow by him, not because he couldn't stop them but bc he was out of shape.
He's butt heads with alot of coaches in the past… Iavarroni, Mchale etc. Kyle is a competitor and everyone knows that. Him and I have spoke alot and he knows that I NEED him to be at his best at all times. This is a big year for him. I've told him that this is his year and his shot. He's got to be in the best shape of his career and be ready to take this team to the next level. It's there for him to take. I've been texting Kyle alot, and he's already lost 15 lbs. It's great news and we are looking for him to be the guy – not just THAT GUY in a contract year. I've told KYLE, I've been spoiled with PG's in the past, I had PAYTON and JKIDD in the past.
At the end of the year, we will assess if he is the right guy for this team in the long run. (he said this twice… which made me think a bit as to maybe there's something more).
thanks. I didn't much like Casey's back handed insults at bc. bc was very public in his support of Casey and even guaranteed his salary for next year without any assurances for his own.
that said I believe Casey is the right coach and unless svg is committed I wouldn't change the coach. I like the teams whose coaches become synonymous with their teams.
I like the pr attempt at boosting bargs value to others "we're resigned to the fact he could go to another team and be a very good player" Haha. I hope he does though.
Love this from Casey ".. I've been texting Kyle alot, and he's already lost 15 lbs." And this "...The way I work is regardless of who's on the team, spots are not guaranteed and I think with Massai on board, we share that sentiment. Last year we did alot to try to get Andrea going and no matter what we did it didn't work. This year, we are going to let our guys go to battle and let the cream rise."
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
I always suspected that Lowry was a bit fat and out of shape.
awesome quote Kyle has been hush hush lately guess hes been working really hard....
Really though it seems like Raps will be making some lower end picks instead of a huge splash it seems Ujiri will likely be grabbing the 13 and a second rounder instead of going into the top 5... Is it a wait and see approach with the current core?
If Raps exit this draft with Kabongo ill be mor than happy good back up for Lowry, and to push Lowry as well.
I found the following interesting:
Hopefully the defense returns and the offense evolves from high school sets.MU … Culture, Branding, Winning. We are not here to put a perennial playoff team on the floor year after year. If you ask me to go make this team a playoff team, it's a PIECE OF CAKE. EASY! We can do that no problem. But WHO wants that? what's the point of just playoffs? We are here now to change the culture of this franchise and give it an identity. We want the best players for our system and we will go get them. For those that say players wont come here etc.. I don't believe all that or get caught up in it. It's not the country or the city … it's basketball. If there's a culture here, an identity and something that players know they can be a part of, we won't have any issues. And even if we do, we don't want to those guys anyway. We want players that want to be here for the sake of basketball and WINNING Championships.
INteresting. It is not going to happen with ISO after ISO or long 2 after long 2.Q: Rudy Gay, his fit, what he needs to do this year.
DC … Rudy is a great talent and has the respect of the league and officials. When he came in, he gave us that BOOST OF CONFIDENCE that we needed. He's a STAR. He knows the game and knows how to play it. Rudy is a guy who has a ton of confidence on the offensive end. When he gets the ball, and gets in the motion (coach mimicking cross overs), he knows he can score on the opposition. He gets 'geeked' up for the matchups vs Lebron, Carmelo etc. What we NEED from Rudy is to do that EVERY NIGHT, against even the 2nd or 3rd tier players whomever they might be. Rudy and I are very close and we talk often. He offers alot of insight on strategy and offers suggestions. I've told him, that he needs to TAKE THIS TEAM and MAKE IT HIS. We have talent on this team but no disrespect to our guys, RUDY IS OUR GUY. I've told him that we need him to be a different guy than he was in Memphis. There, he could have off nights or the luxury of having Zach and Marc with him to spread the load. HERE, we NEED him to drop 25 points a night and a grab few rebounds. He's up for it,wants it and wants to be an ALL STAR.
Don't sing it, bring it.Wrapped up by saying keep with us and the team, big things are in the works and this is the year that everything comes to fruition. He spoke highly of Massai saying he brings a new element of FRESHNESS To this team by looking at our roster FULL CIRCLE ( a slight at BC) and knows where our strengths and weaknesses are. We are not looking to bring a playoff team to this city but a top seeded franchise that'll be competitive night in and night out.
Am I reading too much in to no mention of DeRozan?

Are you a fan of this approach? Masai has great respect for BC and he is still with Toronto, so it looks like he will be for the most part sticking with the core and adding a few pieces and shedding dead weight.
Best course of action for now perhaps.
Not sure if that was directed at me but....
I can easily get behind a tear down or continuing to build with what the Raptors currently have.
I hope no matter which route they go they can get another 2014 pick and adding a pick this year would be a bonus.
The Raptors could do both: if things don't start well next season (they'll have close to 50 games in before trade deadline) they could become sellers. Although at that point in time they'll likely be dealing from disadvantage.
No matter what happens, the Raptors have a lot of flexibility in 2 seasons with JV still having one year of a rookie deal left before an extension.

I think it is safe to say the event did happen.
Mainpage gives another account.
Hard to get a gauge on what direction the team goes, from both sources you get:
Overall, a positive atmosphere and I highly doubt anyone in MLSE is thinking of tanking
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
As Casey talks about veterans, getting a "punch in the mouth" type guy, I'm still on board with trying to get Kendrick Perkins to back up Jonas. Casey clearly wants that type of guy. I don't know if OKC wants Bargs, but I really see it as at least a legit conversation to be had between teams considering how little each respective player fits in their current team's plans, and how well each might fit with the change.
Lets get it done, get a gritty vet and a young project in one deal
-Bargs for Perk and PJ3
-Would gladly do Bargs for Perk and the 29th or 32nd pick in this draft, but money doesn't quite work...but if it can be worked out I'd like it too
I realize even expecting Perk to play well every night for 20mpg as a backup might be wishful thinking, but I think his character is exactly what we need, and especially in the middle.
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
If we are trading OKC Id rather take Lamb off their hands than PJ3. Lamb was a rookie to watch during the summer league and before the Harden trade.
DeRozan and Gray for Perkins/Lamb#12.
with the pick grab Larkin or Schroeder, let Lamb and Ross compete for the starting job.
i think that's the vibe they get from Casey, which is probably completely true. what coach wants to tank?
Ujiri and Leiweke's comments though...

By Bret Strelow
North Carolina forward James Michael McAdoo acknowledges that the transition from high school to college was tougher than expected. Will it be equally difficult to develop into an offensive focal point as a sophomore after coming off the bench as a freshman?
"I hope not," McAdoo said with a chuckle.
The 6-foot-9 McAdoo struggled often as a freshman but played like a future lottery pick late in the season, scoring at least 14 points in three of the Tar Heels' seven postseason games. He returned to school instead of entering the NBA draft and has been voted to the preseason All-ACC team. McAdoo topped CBSSports.com's list of 30 players ready to have breakout seasons, one spot ahead of teammate Reggie Bullock.
"It really is a big opportunity," McAdoo said. "Some people might look at it as pressure. I look at it as a blessing from God, being where I am right now and having the teammates I have, the coaching staff."
With little hesitation, North Carolina coach Roy Williams is entrusting freshman point guard Marcus Paige with the keys to the Tar Heels' fast-paced offense.
Combo guard Dexter Strickland was Kendall Marshall's backup last season before injuring his right knee, and Strickland should fill a similar role as a senior. Gardner-Webb transfer Luke Davis, who averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 assists in his lone season with the Bulldogs, could contribute as the 2012-13 version of Stilman White, who will begin his two-year Mormon mission in Ogden, Utah, this month.
Most of the responsibility will fall to the 157-pound Paige, who was a McDonald's All-American. Paige and his predecessor are both left-handed, and Marshall was a better passer. Williams said Paige is more athletic and better at sliding his feet defensively. He's probably a better shooter.
"Marcus Paige has a chance to be really good," Williams said. "He's a little rascal, but he does know how to play, does have savvy and toughness."
Williams said two sophomores (Desmond Hubert, Jackson Simmons) and two freshmen (Joel James, Brice Johnson) are candidates to start alongside McAdoo in the post. The frontrunners are probably Hubert, who has gained 25 pounds since totaling 123 minutes over 25 games as a freshman, and James, who began playing organized basketball as a high school sophomore.
James weighed 310 pounds the first time Williams saw him. The number has dropped as low as 262, and James reduced his body-fat percentage while going back up to 273.
Williams, who uses terms like "marvelous" and "funny" to describe James' personality, is preaching patience.
"He's had less instruction than maybe any kid I've coached," Williams said. "I keep telling him Rome wasn't built in a day."
It's easy to look at how much North Carolina lost, namely four of the top 17 picks in the NBA draft, and focus on that more than the fact that the Tar Heels bring an awful lot back. They've got four talented wings with experience and a frontline inside threat in James Michael McAdoo to make the transition easier for freshman point guard Marcus Paige and his three classmates.
I'm in the consensus that believes UNC will finish third in the league, partly because it's bound to endure some growing pains, but the Tar Heels could evolve into the ACC team with the most NCAA tournament upside if Paige proves capable of running the offense effectively. North Carolina will be tested early with pre-Christmas trips to Long Beach State, Maui, Indiana and Texas, and a home game against UNLV is the final tune-up before league play begins.
If the Tar Heels can survive the non-conference portion of their schedule without having their confidence compromised, a late-season surge like the one UNC enjoyed in 2006 is possible. For that to happen, Reggie Bullock, Leslie McDonald and P.J. Hairston must free up space for McAdoo by shooting well from the perimeter

LONDON, September 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Apical today announced the release of the latest generation of its local tone map core iridix.
iridix is a precise digital model of the way the eye adapts to lighting variations, based on Apical's extensive research into human vision. It is employed in digital cameras and smartphones to improve the visibility of shadow and highlight detail, making captured photos and videos look more natural and close to the appearance of the real scene.
iridix is a highly efficient and accurate local tone map engine, adjusting each pixel of each frame dynamically to match the processing which occurs in the retina. First deployed in Nikon digital cameras, it has been integrated into hundreds of millions of consumer devices and has been behind many real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) functions. For HDR sensors, iridix 8 can compress dynamic range from 160dB to 60dB standard output with complete preservation of image detail.
iridix 8 is the result of several years' intensive R&D aimed at implementing the most advanced and accurate image processing algorithms in a compact, low power silicon core.
Says Michael Tusch, CEO Apical, "In iridix 8 we have tried to incorporate all we have learned about the effect of local tone mapping on camera image fidelity in a wide range of applications. I think it's a pretty big step forward in this kind of technology."
iridix 8 is integrated into Apical's Assertive Camera image signal processor subsystem.
About Apical
Apical specializes in advanced image and video processing technology for embedded applications. The company's products are derived from original research into the human visual system and are designed to maximize the performance of a wide range of image capture and display devices. Apical works primarily with OEMs and semiconductor manufacturers for whom high-performance imaging is a key differentiator. Apical is a privately held company based in the UK.

Firefighters from across the country are on the Grand Strand training for the Scott World Firefighter Combat challenge.
Saturday was day two of a three-day training camp for other teams from places like Massachusetts, Alabama and Pennsylvania.
The combat challenge tests firefighter skills and physical fitness. Wearing full gear and air packs, firefighters race through a simulation that has been called by ESPN the toughest two minutes in sports.
"You're running up a tower, you're carrying hoses, you're pulling rope to get equipment back up to the top. You're running down off the tower, you're striking a beam simulating like you're on a roof to open up a roof," Micheal Medeiros, the captain for Team Horry said.
Scott McClelland traveled from Richmond, Virgina this weekend. "I've been involved in all these other sports. It by far blows it out of the water," he said.
Last year, Horry County Fire Rescue's "Team Horry Reebok" placed fourth in the 64 team elimination tournament.
Another Horry County Fire and Rescue team placed in the top 20.
The Grand Strand female firefighters placed 5th in their division. Both Horry County and Myrtle Beach firefighters make up that team.
Horry County Fire Rescue and the Myrtle Beach Fire Department each put up $25,000 in accommodations tax money to bring the challenge to Myrtle Beach.

Lansing to Revitalize GM Properties
FOX 47 News
Photo: Video by fox47news.com
After years of sitting as eyesores, the empty lots left by General Motors in Lansing might have a bright future. Local business and community leaders along with federal authorities met Wednesday to discuss the properties, and now Lansing is one step closer in a long process to rehire and rebuild.
"This is about viewing these former auto sites as assets as opposed to troubled properties," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero. "We have global and local developers and entrepreneurs looking at these sites."
"We are not just dealing with the old General Motor sites," said John Daher, the Lansing Township Supervisor. "We are dealing with the entire west Saginaw Corridor."
The city wants to change the weeds into productive land and jobs. There are three sites in the Lansing area that need to be rebuilt. The current owner of the properties, the RACER Trust, is marketing them locally and globally to find developers. The sites in the past were used for manufacturing and the Trust hopes to find future manufacturers to buy the sites.
Lansing has $18 million from the Federal Government to clean up the properties from any environmental threats, that way the new buyer won't be liable for any environmental damage previously made.
"We have partners at the EPA," said Bernero. "This is not the old EPA where their pointing fingers and regulating and being obstacles to progress. We have the deputy director of the EPA right here in Lansing to facilitate the redevelopment of these brownfield sites."
For now there's no clear answer exactly what will happen to the properties, but the meeting is a step in the right direction for a brighter future.
"It's very important that Washington, the federal agencies in Washington are not a faceless bureaucracy to us. We have specific individuals. We have contacts. We know people in Washington and it's important we have these relationships so that when we go for grants, when we go for assistance, we know exactly who to go to in these departments and they know Lansing," said Bernero. "We are on the map in Washington, we are on the agenda and we are going to get the help the attention and the tools that we need to develop these sites. That's what's exciting."
