PROVENANCE Lucio Amelio, Naples
EXHIBITED Naples, Soprintendenza per i Beni Artistici e Storici di Napoli, Fondazione Amelio-Istituto per l'Arte Contemporanea, Museo di Capodimonte, Vesuvius by Warhol, July 18 October 31, 1985
LITERATURE A. Warhol, Vesuvius, Naples, 1985, p. 50
Realized for a solo exhibition in the prestigious Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, a sacred space typically reserved for the old masters and classical Italianate landscapes, Andy Warhol produced his Vesuvius Cycle, a series of 18 canvases depicting the activity of the world famous Neapolitan volcano erupting. This work cannot help but engage with both world history and art history. In contrast to the impressionist treatment of this same subject, here Warhol translates the image into a stylized sign. Reinterpreting tradition, Warhol manipulates and inflects this Neapolitan and Romantic motif with his bravura line and overtly contemporary lexicon. Vesuvius simultaneously enshrines in an energetic and dynamic composition the essential, unconquerable force of this most iconic Neapolitan landmark, the great passion of the city that thrives beneath it, and the passionate personality of the foremost Neapolitan dealer of his time and close friend of the artist who commissioned the series, Lucio Amelio. Four years prior, Amelio had commissioned works from a group of artists including Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, and Keith Haring for an exhibition entitled Terrae Motus, a plea for art against the destruction of nature. This show was planned in reaction to the earthquake that occurred in November 1980 just south of Naples, which claimed the lives of over 2,700 people and devastated the surrounding area. Terrae Motus not only placed Naples firmly on the Contemporary Art world map, but also made a lasting impression on Warhol, from his experience of the city and his encounter with Beuys. In Vesuvius, 1985, Warhol recalls the sense of disaster that described the earlier exhibition and invokes the icon of natural beauty and threat of destruction that renders Naples, an extraordinary and unique place, as his subject. An eruption is an overwhelming image, an extraordinary happening and even a great piece of sculpture (Andy Warhol in Vesuvius by Warhol, Naples, 1985, p. 35). Executed towards the end of the artists career, this series also bears witness to Warhols departure from the screen-printing process for which he became famous in the 1960s and his return to hand painting. Here, after some twenty years, Warhols expressive and spontaneous touch can be seen. Warhol himself explained that he painted Vesuvius by hand and always used different colors so that they consistently give the impression of having been painted just minutes after the eruption. Interestingly, this practice of employing expressionistic brushwork over a flat, silk-screened ground, is an inversion of the technique used in earlier series, such as the Reversals and Ladies and Gentlemen, where Warhol had applied the flat, democratizing surface of the silkscreen over the brushy, drippy background. Through this exceptionally rare technique, the power of this image is instantly felt. (Vesuvius by Warhol, Naples, 1985, p. 35). Throughout Warhols oeuvre, two overarching themes emerge: the legacy of art history and the omnipotence of death. The present work is significant in its incorporation of both. On the one hand an image of life affirming vitality, Vesuvius, 1985, with its creeping threat of impending precariousness and destructive catastrophe, is simultaneously laced with the theme of tragedy and morbidity that permeates Warhols entire oeuvre, revisiting the haunting contemplation of death so sensationally depicted in the Suicides, Disasters, Car Crashes and Electric Chairs from the early 1960s. Warhol was fascinated with images of violence and morbidity for much of the decade. The sources for these canvases were found in movies, magazines, and cheap tabloids which notoriously sensationalized tragedy. Some images were provided by friends who had access to police photographs, too brutal to have ever intentionally been made public. The source image for Silver Car Crash, 1963, is an unidentified newspaper photograph, which shows a convertible nearly split in half, with a lifeless figure spilling out of the passenger side door. The disturbing image of a mangled body and vehicle is represented through the stark and unforgiving lens of Warhols screen-printing process. The image repeated ten times across the picture plane at first shocks in its irreverence, but eventually the horror is subdued by the repetition. The images, some have argued, reflect Warhols own fear and obsession with death. Yet his process of replicating the image across a monochromatic canvas desensitizes the viewer to the tragedy. The Disasters constitute a key moment in [Warhols] work. Suddenly the sassy young man, who had burst on the scene with images of Campbells Soup, Coca-Cola, dollar bills, and movie stars, was turning his attention to the death-obsessed underbelly of American life. These paintings must have been a tremendous shock when they first appeared, revealing that Pop Art was much more than an ironic joke for Warhol. With the Disasters, Warhol succeeded in separating himself from the other Pop artists, who, for the most part, continued to occupy themselves with the mechanics of mass-market image-making. He defined himself as an artist operating on a truly ambitious stage, willing to take on the big issues of human existence -mortality, the randomness of life and death, and the impersonal cruelty of state power. By so doing, he created a link for himself to not only the pessimistic humanism of Goya and Picasso, but, more importantly, to Abstract Expressionism and its existential and metaphysical concerns -concerns which had been mostly abandoned by the artists of the 60s. (P. Halley, Fifteen Little Electric Chairs, Andy Warhol Little Electric Chair Paintings, exh. cat., Stellan Holm Gallery, New York, 2001, p. 40). This obsession with death is precisely what made his famous portraits of Marilyn, Elvis and Jackie, all of whom were made subjects of Warhols paintings in the wake of their own personal tragedies. The volcano itself has become an icon, like the aforementioned subjects, but unlike them, Vesuvius, 1985, remains vibrantly active, still alive. And what separates Vesuvius, 1985, most clearly from the Disaster paintings, is its existence as a natural disaster, and not one of human error. Conferring on the past a rejuvenated pertinence to the present, Vesuvius, 1985, can be seen in the greater context of Warhols other appropriations from his Art After Art series, including his Mona Lisa works and The Scream (after Edvard Munch), reiterating and reaffirming his essential position within art history. Warhol, like the eruption itself, was an overwhelming and extraordinary artist who forever changed the landscape of art history.

Tour: Selected Photographs from the Collection« back to gallery
In the last few years the National Gallery of Art has significantly expanded its collection of photographs. Although the Gallery began actively acquiring photographs in 1989, the collection initially consisted primarily of the art of a few key twentieth-century American photographers: Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Harry Callahan. Since 1995 the museum has been adding photographs from a much broader spectrum and now has more than 9,000 nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs in the collection, by more than 250 European and American photographers. This tour, drawn entirely from the Gallery's collection and from promised gifts, celebrates some of those recent additions, including works by pioneer photographer William Henry Fox Talbot, celebrated nineteenth-century master Julia Margaret Cameron, modernist artists such as Charles Sheeler and László Moholy-Nagy, as well as such observers of modern life as Bill Brandt.
The works presented here demonstrate that the most gifted photographers do not simply record their world but transform it, endowing it with meaning and significance; that through selection and manipulation, framing, isolating, freezing, and distorting these practitioners create images that resonate not only with their own emotions or ideas, but also with those of the viewer.
Photographic Processes
Since the discovery of photography in 1839, the practitioners of the new art form invented and experimented with many processes and techniques. The descriptions listed here are a selection of the processes displayed in this tour.
Paper negatives were made of fine writing paper sensitized with silver salts, exposed in a camera, developed, and fixed (stabilized). Invented by William Henry Fox Talbot, paper negatives were used exclusively until the late 1840s. A paper negative could be used for the printing of a positive salted paper print by placing it on top of a sheet of paper sensitized with silver salts and exposing it to sunlight. Papers could be sized with starches such as arrowroot to enhance the appearance. Salted paper prints are characterized by a matte surface and a soft, atmospheric quality resulting from the texture of the paper negative. Because of their increased translucency, waxed-paper negatives, especially popular in Britain and France, allowed for finer detail.
Early glass negatives or collodion negatives were hand-coated with a thin film of collodion (guncotton dissolved in ether and alcohol), then sensitized with silver salts. The plates were exposed while still wet and developed immediately. Popular throughout the 1850s, collodion negatives almost entirely replaced paper negatives by 1860. Glass negatives were ideal for printing albumen prints, the most common photographic print process from the mid-1850s through the 1880s. Invented by Louis Désiré Banquart-Evrard, albumen prints were made using paper coated with a layer of silver salts suspended in egg white and then exposed to sunlight through a negative. Albumen prints are characterized by their smooth, glossy surface and fine detail. Most albumen prints were toned with a solution containing gold chloride, which changed the image hue from reddish-brown to a rich purple.
The platinum process is based on the light-sensitive characteristics of iron salts, which react with platinum salts to form platinum metal. While in many other kinds of photographic prints the metal image rests within a binder on the surface of a coated paper, here it is absorbed into the fibers. Thus the image takes on the texture of the paper and is softer in appearance and less detailed than a photographic print on a coated paper. Prized for its rich blacks and delicate tonal range, platinum is usually charcoal in hue, although the hue may be changed by varying the temperature of the developing solution or by using toners such as mercury or gold. Invented and patented by Richard Willis in 1873, the platinum process was popular from the late 1880s through World War I, when it became economically impractical to manufacture the paper commercially. The palladium process is identical to platinum except that salts of palladium are substituted for salts of platinum to form the final palladium image. In general, palladium prints are warmer and more sepia in hue than platinum. Introduced in 1916 as a cheaper substitute for platinum, palladium paper was commercially manufactured until the 1920s.
A gelatin silver print is a black-and-white photograph in which the image, consisting of silver metal, is suspended in a gelatin layer. To make a modern gelatin silver print, light-sensitive silver salts are mixed in gelatin and applied to a piece of paper that has been coated with a layer of white pigment also mixed with gelatin (the "baryta layer"). The baryta layer gives the print a smooth, reflective surface and brilliant highlights. The paper is exposed to light through a negative and then "developed out," or made visible, in a chemical reducing solution. This basic chemical process, introduced by Talbot in 1840, has been in use for the last 150 years; since World War I it has been the primary method of printing black-and-white photographs.« back to gallery

Background: I have a new site in the design phase and am considering using ColdFusion. The Server is currently set-up with ColdFusion and Python (done for me).
It is my choice on what to use and ColdFusion seems intriguing with the tag concept. Having developed sites in PHP and Python the idea of using a new tool seems fun but I want to make sure it is as easy to use as my other two choices with things like URL beautification and scalability.
Are there any common problems with using ColdFusion in regards to scalability and speed of development?
My other choice is to use Python with WebPy or Django.

Malverne School District has implemented an automated point-of-sale (POS) food service system, which will be linked to your student's school identification card. Designed to add flexibility to your payment options, this debiting system will enable each student to have their own account with photo verification. You will be able to deposit money into your child's account by accessing a secure online service and choosing to debit money directly from a bank account or prepay the card with a certain amount each month. Eliminating the ability for a student to "forget" their lunch money, deposited funds will allow a student to purchase meals and a la carte items for sale in the cafeteria.
ScholarChip, also enables school staff to keep track of any food allergies and improve the speed and efficiency with which students are serviced. Parents who are curious about what their child is purchasing will be able to access that information online, as well as view the card's remaining balance. When needed, purchase limitations or dietary restrictions can be placed on a child's account. Confidentiality will continue to be maintained for students who are receiving free and/or reduced price lunches.

On 'Black Monday', the monday after the first weekend in Red Flag, the crews are made to watch a several minute long video of crashes that have happened at prior Red Flags.
The reason being is that crews are relaxed after a week of combat missions and a weekend out on the town, so historically most of the accidents at Red Flag happen on that day.
It shows things like a HUD camera shot of an aircraft going over a ridge line and hitting a tree head on, and a C-130 coming in for a load drop and hitting the ground on descent.
Does anyone know a location of a copy of this video?

Generations of computer programmers are taught to prefetch network objects in computer science classes. In practice, prefetching can be harmful to the user's wallet when she is on a limited or pay-per-byte cellular data plan. Many popular, professionally-written smartphone apps today prefetch large amounts of network data that the typical user may never use. We present Procrastinator, which automatically decides when to fetch each network object that an app requests. This decision is made based on whether the user is on Wi-Fi or cellular, how many bytes are remaining on the user's data plan, and whether the object is needed at the present time. Procrastinator does not require app developer effort, nor app source code, nor OS changes – it modifies the app binary to trap specific system calls and inject custom code. Our system can achieve as little as no savings to 4X savings in bytes transferred, depending on the user and the app.}, author = {Lenin Ravindranath and Sharad Agarwal and Jitu Padhye and Chris Riederer}, booktitle = {ACM MobiSys}, month = {June}, publisher = {ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services}, title = {Procrastinator: pacing mobile apps' usage of the network}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=210040}, year = {2014}, }

Please submit all sites that deal with the American Tundra Shepherd Dog.The American Tundra Shepherd Dog is a working dog and a family companion. The breed was developed beginning in the late 1960's as part of the US Governments superdog program. This experiment entailed crossing German Shepherd dogs to Alaskan Tundra Wolves. The ATS is a large size dog with looks reminiscent of its unique ancestry. They bond very close with their immediate family. American Tundra Shepherds mature slower than most other breeds, are energetic and have a long life expectancy.
Please submit sites that deal with the Appenzeller Mountain Dog.FCI Group 2. Not recognized by AKC. County of origin: Switzerland. In 1853 an Appenzeller Mountain Dog (also know as a Sennenhund) was first described in the book "Tierleben der Alpenwelt" (Animal Life in the Alps) as "...a clearly barking, short haired, medium size, multicolour cattledog of a quite even Spitz type, which can be found in certain regions and is used partly to guard the homestead, partly to herd cattle."
Today it is a versatile working and family dog.
Please submit sites that deal with the Australian Cattle Dog. There are several subcats to choose from for best submission.The Australian Cattle Dog, or Queensland Blue Heeler, was developed by ranchers in Australia in the 1830's by crossing the Smithfield with the Dingo. Other breeds where then added to the mix to create a sound herding dog with the stamina to work over wide areas and in harsh conditions. In 1903 the breed was recognized by the New South Wales Kennel Club.
Please submit all sites dealing with Australian Kelpies.A short-coated, medium sized, alert breed born with a strong instinct for herding and guarding, the Australian Kelpie evolved as a breed shortly after the immigration of colonists from Great Britain to Australia introduced sheep to the continent. One account claims the breed resulted from a collie/dingo cross, while another suggests the breed resulted from a cross between a collie from the north of England and a black and tan female from New South Wales, Australia. Currently, the Australian Kelpie is recognized as being in FCI (Group 1).
Within this category you will find information on the various associations, breeders, and fanciers promoting this breed.
Open to all sites devoted to the Australian Shepherd - also known as the "Aussie". Please note that your web site can only be added to one category, so please the category that best fits your web site.Often referred to as the "Aussie", the Australian Shepherd is a delightfully intelligent dog of strong herding and guarding instincts, and makes the perfect family dog. They are an extremely loyal companion and have the stamina and drive to work or play all day, but can be equally as happy to hang out and do nothing with their owners. Well balanced, slightly longer than tall, and of medium size and bone, this breed offers several coat coloring including black/tan/white, blue merle, and red/white. Blue eyes in the merle are not uncommon, and in fact lend a distinct individuality to the Aussie's sweet, happy face. Without doubt this breed is always attentive and animated, lithe and agile, solid and muscular without cloddiness.
Please submit sites that deal with the Azores Cattle Dog.From the island of San Miguel in the Azores, the rustic Portuguese cattle dog has an unusual head, which evokes that of the hyena or the Lycaon.
The breed dates back to at least the 1800s. A standard was published in 1984 and the breed was recognized by the FCI in 1995.
Open to all sites devoted to the Bearded Collie breed.The Bearded Collie is a medium sized dog with a delightful, fun-loving personality.

This category is open to all English language sites devoted to the Beauceron.Although the official name of the breed is Berger de Beauce (shepherd of the Beauce), they are also known as Bas Rouge ( Red Stockings), but are more commonly referred to as the Beauceron. A large, smooth coated breed, it is still best known in its native France, but can also be found in Belgium, Holland and Germany.
It is said to have originated in a plains region surrounding Paris known "La Beauce" dating back to the 1500's as a livestock herding and guard dog, most often with sheep but also with cattle. In both World Wars the military used this breed on the front lines to run messages as these dogs were undeterred by exploding bombs or military fire. They were also used to pick up trails, detect mines, support commando actions, find the wounded and carry food and ammunition to the front lines.
The Beauceron is still used extensively for herding and livestock protection, as well as sports such as Schutzhund and use by the K-9 police.

Although the precise origins of this beautiful, intelligent breed are unknown, the rough coated collie has been most closely identified with the highlands and lowlands of Scotland. A steady sheepdog and devoted, loyal member of the family, the collie gained national prominence during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 1800's, and again in the 1950's when the movie makers in Hollywood set the book "Lassie, Come Home" to film, and launched the breed into stardom.

These drover dogs interbred with local dogs -- the smaller dogs developed the strong eye, and crouching position, becoming the Border Collie, while the larger dogs with the "loose eye" became known as Farm Shepherds or Farm Collies. When the first English settlers immigrated to the new American continent with their cattle, they brought along this breed which soon became known as the English Shepherd.

Koolies are also making a name for themselves in agility, obedience, tracking, endurance, flyball &T.V, Their intelligence, endurance and temperament set the Koolie apart from any other working and companion dog.
Research and DNA testing has shown that the Koolie is descended from Collie lines. Smooth coated blue merle Collies were imported to Australia around 1940. German author Von Stephanitz wrote in his book dated 1925 that Australian Graziers were sufficiently impressed with German sheepdogs to import some, these dogs were known as Alpine Header Breeds and the blue and red merle Tigers was amongst their numbers. It is generally accepted that due to the striking resemblance and similar traits these two breeds are the origins of the Australian Koolie. More can be read of Von Stephanitz's classic work in Angela Sanderson book Australian Dogs. .

Open to all sites devoted to the Polish Lowland Sheepdog.The Polish Lowland Sheepdog translates to Polski Owczarek Nizinny (PON) in Polish. In some European countries they are also known as Nizinnies. This medium sized, shaggy coated sheepdog bears a striking resemblance to the Bearded Collie with its medium long gray and white coat, and the long hair on the head that falls forward over the eyes, giving the expression a sweet, mischievous, and somewhat jaunty look.
The 'ancient' history of the breed, according to the few researched texts that exist, suggest that the roots of breed may go back to early Far Eastern origins, particularly Tibet. Traders from the east would bring their dogs with them and some would be used in trade. A long coated, hard working type of sheepdog was ideal in such cold and hostile terrains that were typical of countries in Northern Europe, and dogs fitting this description were soon selectively bred to good effect. Those that found a home in the Polish countryside were used to guard, herd and hunt, and were known as a Polish "farmer dog". Further selective breeding ingrained in this breed a higher degree of herding instinct - although the hunting and guarding tendencies are still prevalent.
The Polish Lowland Sheepdog is a highly intelligent, highly adaptable dog. In a family environment they love children, especially boisterous ones who can provide the non stop activity this breed delights in.

Their conformation, which resembles a collie in miniature, is beautifully balanced and designed for tremendous endurance - be it working with sheep, or playing with children.

Car must be clear of finance and you must be the legal owner
Sometimes you just need some cash fast, whether there is an unexpected bill to pay or your finances are low, being able to get cash quickly is very helpful. This is where a logbook loan can be very useful.
If you own a vehicle you can use that as security for a loan and not have to worry about being credit checked. If you have made some mistakes with credit in the past this won't be a problem because logbook lenders loan you money based on the value of your car and your ability to pay back the loan based on your regular income.
It is always a good idea to do your research when looking for a loan, there are companies that offer lower rates than others, in some cases quite significantly lower. Compare quotes from loan providers to find the one that is right for you.
If you have had problems with credit in the past you might be struggling to gain credit from any other sources. This could prove problematic if you need to raise any amount of money, no matter how small. Luckily V5 loans companies can lend you money against your car quickly and easily in most cases, all you need is a car that is less than 10 years old and to have a regular income to pay the monthly instalments.
Lenders will be looking to see that you can afford to make loan repayments each month. This is so you don't default on your loan and your vehicle isn't repossessed.
Repossessing vehicles is something that most lenders will only do if you show no sign of being willing to make loan repayments. If you are struggling with debt it is best to speak to an organisation such as Citizens Advice, who will be able to give you advice about any debt problems you might have.
Applicants cars should be in good working order, have no finance on them and be less than 10 years old in most cases. If these criteria are met then obtaining a loan should not be difficult.
Check with the lender that there are no hidden charges like admin fees or early settlement fees if you want to pay the loan back early. One of the benefits of a logbook loan is being able to settle a loan when you have the money to do so. If you are penalised for this then it diminishes some of the benefits of the loans.

Anderson is day to day "depending on level of comfort" according to MacLean. "It's as positive as can be"
NHL.com "Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson left the game Sunday against the Dallas Stars following a collision with Stars rookie Valeri Nichushkin at 1:44 of overtime.

Anderson hasn't responded. He will stay off the ice.
Ottawa Sun "Craig Anderson limped into Scotiabank Place with Senators GM Bryan Murray Friday morning. That was the only good sign for the Senators.

Ottawa Sun "Red seems to bring out the best in the Senators — both the jersey colour and when they're red-faced with embarrassment.

Ottawa Sun "Craig Anderson can't do it by himself.

Skip Please SayLess
August 23, 2012 Leave a comment
Skip Bayless recently recklessly insinuated that Derek Jeter has been taking steroids. His proof was:
Bayless said, "I am shocked by what I'm seeing from Derek Jeter right now. They all said he was washed up. All of a sudden, this man has turned 38 years of age in June and already he has more hits than he had last year. … I'm seeing a whole new guy this year from last year … Are you kidding me? You would have to have your head in the sand or your head somewhere else not to at least wonder, 'How is he doing this?' "
Now, before we even go into whether there could be reasonable speculation that Jeter is taking steroids, I just want to start by saying it is extremely irresponsible as a reporter to accuse anyone of using steroids with 0 concrete evidence. It seems like the recent suspensions of PED users Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon turned Bayless into Joe McCarthy. As for his argument, he just doesn't seem to understand that ball players don't linearly decline when they older but instead their mean declines and they can end up on either end of the mean. What I mean by this is that let's say Jeter's skill level last year was 9 home runs and this year it was 8 home runes (picking random numbers), last year he was unlucky by 3 home runs and this year he was lucky by 4. Over the long run he will decline but that doesn't mean each season he will get slightly worse. Essentially, in 2009 Jeter had an MVP-esque season and in 2010 he had the worst season in his career. In reality, he was somewhere in between and in the last two seasons regressed towards his mean of probably about a .310 avg, .360 OBP .420 slugging player. I mean Skip's main argument is that he doubled his home runs from 6 to a whopping 12 this season after never hitting fewer than 10 in his career before 2011. Ball players bounce up and down and the fact that he has come back from one of the worst drops in history for a player isn't surprising. Furthermore, his OBP barely increased even though his average is up a lot because the main reason for all this is his extremely high BABIP (and by the way, after all this even if in 5 years it comes out Jeter is using, what Bayless did is still wrong since he has no evidence).
But let's all be real here, we know Skip Bayless isn't serious. If he was, he would accuse someone like David Ortiz who has been known to use PED's before and has went from a .238 average to a .316 average and a .462 slugging to a .609 slugging while getting 3 years older (and I am not saying Ortiz does either, just you'd have a better argument). What Bayless is doing is trying to get his name in the news by accusing the "Golden Boy" of the MLB of doing steroids. Let's just go through a few other times Skip has recklessly said obviously untrue statements to gain attention:
- Said that white fans root for the white QB.
- Constantly saying for a month that Westbrook sucks because he is a shoot first PG (he definitely is a shoot first PG but it is his style) even though he is "a Thunder fan". Perhaps as a Thunder fan he should notice that the Thunder were 20-4 in games Westbrook takes more shots than Durant, or that Westbrook is the only other real option to score with the starting unit on and KD can't shoot every time, or that Durant is too weak to get himself in position to score on every play. Or maybe he could just listen to Durant who said, "We're worse when I take more shots. Like I said, that guy doesn't know a thing. I don't think he watches us. I think he just looks at the stats. And traditionally, a point guard is not supposed to take more shots than everybody else on the team. But we're better when he does do that and he's aggressive. And I'm better when I'm out there facilitating, rebounding, defending and being more efficient on my shots with less shots."
- Said Romo is more clutch than Eli Manning.
- Lied about his own basketball career.
- Even Charles Barkley hates him.
- Said Phelps isn't a top athlete.
- Said the Bulls lucked into the one seed.
- Said Lebron will never win a ring (already wrong 2 years later, plus how could you be positive he would never win it depending on his team).
- Lebron didn't deserve the 2012 MVP.
- Said Carmelo was top 5 in the league but Lebron wasn't.
- And all this is just after a very short google search of his stupidity in the last 12 months.
And here is a great video of Cuban just taking Skip to town followed by some quotes from the video (from awful announcing). The only reason I assume Skip aired this is because Cuban ripping him to shreds gets ratings (pathetic, I know).
"You guys like to talk in complete generalities where no one can question you, you don't ever use facts, you don't ever use substance."
"You have the presumption that people care what you say, they don't… when guys get ready to play they're not thinking, 'ok what's going to be written, what's being said' right? They're getting prepared."
"Miami wanted it more or less, that is just such horse you know what… it's not that Oklahoma City don't want it more, I think Miami was better prepared to play the game than Oklahoma City in terms of adjustment and changes."
"That is the most ridiculous thing any sportswriter has ever said."
"That's exactly right Skip, that's all you saw, you didn't look."
"This is a Skip Bayless special: LeBron lost last year because he was paying attention to Skip Bayless. LeBron won this year because he wasn't paying attention to Skip Bayless."
Look, I understand that it is best to not talk about a clown like Skip Bayless, because he is either is the most clueless sports fan ever or just says things to be outlandish. He loves using buzzwords instead of saying anything of substance. But it is one thing to be a shoddy reporter and another to accuse Jeter with no evidence of using steroids. ESPN really has to fire Bayless to redeem some credibility.

Iowa up for grabs 2 months before GOP caucuses
WILTON, Iowa Iowa's presidential caucuses are any Republican candidate's to win.
Just two months before the GOP nomination voting begins, Iowa Republicans aren't surging toward former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney even though he's essentially been running for president since losing in the state in 2008.
This time, none of his opponents has emerged as the consensus candidate of conservatives to become his main rival, as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee did four years ago.
As Tamara Scott, an undecided social conservative leader who backed Huckabee in that race, says: "It's anybody's game right now."
That could change soon.
Sensing an opening, Romney is stepping up his Iowa campaign and talking about winning the state after months of taking a more low-key approach. He probably will return to Iowa in November and hold a conference call with thousands of Iowa GOP caucus-goers.
"I'd love to win Iowa, any of us would. I will be here again and again, campaigning here," Romney said recently in Sioux City.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is casting himself as the more conservative option, is starting to confront Romney. With $15 million in the bank, Perry started running a TV ad last week that, without mentioning Romney challenges Romney's efforts to portray himself as the strongest candidate on the economy.
"I'll create at least 2 1/2 million new jobs, and I know something about that," Perry says in the ad that highlights Texas job creation.
Businessman Herman Cain, a political outsider enjoying a burst of momentum, is starting to focus more on Iowa, adding campaign staff and visiting the state recently for the first time in 10 weeks. But he trails both Romney and Perry in fundraising by the millions.
For now at least, the race in Iowa is wide open.
Saturday evening's results of a Des Moines Register poll showed Cain at the head of the pack, with the support of 23 percent of respondents. Romney came in just behind him at 22 percent.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican, placed third at 12 percent, followed by Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann at 8 percent. Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich polled 7 percent each, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum got 5 percent.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a moderate on some issues that Iowa Republicans hold dear, was supported by only 1 percent of those participating in the poll.
The up-for-grabs nature of the Iowa race matters nationally because the outcome on Jan. 3 will shape what happens in the states that vote next - New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida - and beyond.
As it stands now, Iowa reflects the Republican Party's lack of clarity when it comes to the crowded GOP field and its increasingly urgent search for a candidate who can defeat Democratic President Barack Obama next fall.
"This is the first time I've waited this long to decide," said Linda Allison, an Iowan who recently attended a Perry event. "I am still waiting to be convinced."
Many factors are adding to the volatility.
Large numbers of Iowa Republicans are undecided and just starting to tune into the race in earnest. Fewer than 20 of Iowa's 76 Republican legislators have publicly declared their support for a candidate, and no single candidate has a clear edge among those who have picked sides. At this point four years ago, nearly all lawmakers had endorsed someone.
Consider state Rep. Jeff Kaufmann, for whom Perry raised money at a recent event in eastern Iowa.
"Perry may not be the best debater, but he can really work an audience like this," said Kaufmann, who endorsed former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson four months before the 2008 GOP caucuses. "And while Romney is well prepared, and campaigns well, I'd like to see him out in this area more."
