Milwaukee made the playoffs with a losing record of 38-44. Their record is still one of the worst 14. Do they still get to draft in the lottery and ahead of Dallas at 41-41 and Utah at 43-39 while getting to play in the playoffs?

Nope. Dallas and Utah get tossed into the lottery. Milwaukee will draft 15th.
That seems to be the proper avenue. Why reward a team with a losing record that makes the playoffs a lottery pick too. 15th pick isn't that much worse than than #13.

Smothered Chicken!
Don't the Euro's have a specific date they have declare or un-declare for the draft? Again, I see this as a poor draft even with the #23 pick. I've advocated trading out, but let me throw this out there. Cleveland has the #32 & 34 picks, so is there a chance some decent players could fall to early 2nd round that would be worth trading the #23 pick for?
Don't worry, Justin.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.

A trade down like you propose is very possible if another team sees a player they need. And if the Pacers do not see a player they highly value available at 23.
***Paging Nuntius***
What do you know about these international gents in the Nike Hoops Summit? Specfically, Dennis Schroeder, Sergey Karasev, and Livio Jean-Charles? I watched the game and was really impressed with Schroeder especially.
About Schroeder now. I have heard very good words. He has good size (6'2 with shoes) and amazing lenght (6'7.25 wingspan) that would fit the Pacers' defensive identity. His physical profile reminds me of Patrick Beverley. He is also athletic and quick. He is considered a pesky defender from what I've heard (although I have not seen any tape on him). He is also known to be a good ball-handler. He is only 19 years and can certainly find a role in the NBA.
He benefits from the fact that Smart is not declaring and thus he is likely to stay in the draft (not to mention that his team in Germany is relegating). He is very young, though, and will do a number of mistakes when he comes into the league. Some of them could cost games as well. I'd like to have him on the Pacers but we would still need a veteran back-up.
About Livio Jean-Charles I don't know a lot. He is 19 years old, 6'9 with a 7'2.5 wingspan. He is said to be athletic but quite raw in terms of shooting and dribbling for a SF / PF tweener. His length would help him transition to full-time PF but he is too thin for it yet (217 lbs).
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Thanks Nuntius.
I really liked what I saw out of Schroeder in the Nike Hoops Summit. Looked a little thin, as 19 year olds are wont to do, but he seemed to have a good handle and was very willing to make the passes to open teammates. Good quickness, and a goofy blotch of brown in his hair made me a fan. In the late first, we could do worse.
If we were to pick a young prospect I'd rather go with Adetokunbo to be honest. His physical profile and athleticism are that much harder to come by.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Cole was a rookie, Beaubois can't find the court, and Farmar can't find the NBA.
As long as we can find some players that fit, we'll be alright.
Finding the some players that fit is best served with experience.
I'm sure somebody has already mentioned this but I had no desire to sift through 29 pages of posts on that possibility. How do you guys feel about M. Kabongo ? I know he didn't blow anybody away his freshmen season and had the obvious eligibility issues this past year but he was thought of as an elite prospect coming out HS and had a solid freshmen season and showed flashes of that in limited time as a soph. I think it will be interesting to see how his stock changes if any during the combine and workout process. In the little I saw of him once he was eligible late in the year he looked to have added some muscle while remaining chiseled and I think I also heard that he is a legit 6'2"-6'3" now in shoes ..It is hard for me to see a guy like that being passed over by some other projects in the late 1st round and falling into the 2nd ..is he worth a look at 23 ? I would like to see us get a veteran replacement for Augustine to let Kabongo develop if we were to go that route ..but he is def intriguing as a prospect to put with our young nucleus.
I haven't seen a whole lot of him, but my initial reaction: At 23ish, he's worth a shot. He's got a lot of talent but Ricky Barnes down there at Texas doesn't coach players for ****. Get him some good coaching and he could be decent down the road. Plus, his name is incredibly fun to say. KABONGO FOR THREE!!!
I am hoping to see one of the more dedicated guys on here do one of the scouting reports based on watching some recorded game film on Kabongo. If the tidbits I've read and some games I've seen I really like him as a prospect. Great size and build for the position and is thought of as an elite level prospect as a facilitator…..I also like his potential as a defender with the size, quickness and muscle he has added. Some bad luck with the NCAA suspension and unfortunate circumstance of being a part of a UT program that has sadly taken a few steps back from where they were as a very solid basketball program…..but never the less I am intrigued. I know that we have some other positions of need but just don't see many guys in the 20's and below that have the kind of upside Kabongo has.
Another guy I am at the very least intrigued by (I will likely catch some flack here) is Seth Curry. I am a fan of Duke basketball and especially of coach K but their system isn't always the best at bringing out the best in an individual as opposed to a cohesive unit. That said I believe Seth has more of Stephen's game in him than he was able to show at Duke. His Freshmen year he showed a lot more attributes of a Davidsonesque Stephen than he was given the opportunity to at Duke…..obviously not at 23 but somewhere in the mid-late 2nd round I like him as a prospect.
I know p4e has an opinion on Kabongo, and it is likely more scientific than my liking his name. He's posted it somewhere in this thread, maybe he will dig it up for you.
I like Seth Curry too, honestly. He won't be what his brother is in the NBA, but he can shoot with the best of them, and really, all you need is one elite skill to find a niche in the league.
I haven't gone through this entire thread (obviously) but if he somehow slipped to us (unlikely), what would you guys think about taking Michael Carter-Williams? I love his size and defensive potential, I love his court vision and pass first mentallity, and I think he'd be a good fit on the floor with either Lance or with George Hill.
Just curious of a few PD'ers thoughts on the guy.
As for Curry I agree the chances of him succeeding in the way his brother has at this level is slim to none…I dont think many thought Steph would even be this good….but that said I still think he can be more than just a spot up shooter.

The Pacers system isn't set up to let a point guard thrive at passing. Their better off drafting a scoring point guard who can also play solid D. Russ Smith would be perfect for a backup role as he can put up points while defending the quick small guards. One thing to look at when evaluating short PGs defense in college is the RSB40 (Rebounds, steals, blocks per 40 minutes). Nearly every PG that is successful at defense in the NBA has at least posted a RSB40 of 7.0 in college. DJ Augustin had a 4.5, Darren Collison had a 5.2 . Short defensive point guards include Patrick Beverley (6'1") who posted a high RSB40 of 9.8 and Rondo (6'1") posted a ridiculous 10.7. Russ Smith has a 7.2.
You had a valid point until you threw that Plumlee crap in there.
Kabongo's stock is down right now--not playing much last year and playing for a crappy team will do that. My guess is he will rise in the workouts and end up in the 25-35 range. If 23 is indeed our slot, it would probably be a bit of a reach, but certainly not a Plumlee-level debacle.

We just celebrated Data Privacy Day, although you'll be forgiven for having missed it. The stores weren't filled with gleaming balloons that spelled out "Shhhhhh" and cards that said, "Oh my God, my metadata is showing!"
Government snooping on digital communications, which is a front-page issue in much of the world, is greeted with yawns in Canada. Ideally this will change after last week's one-two punch: First, interim federal privacy commissioner Chantal Bernier issued a report warning that government cyber-snoops should have a tighter leash, followed by a disturbing news story that proved her point.
It seems that Canadians have likely been the subject of digital surveillance by the Communications Security Establishment Canada, our own cyber-spies, according to files obtained by the CBC from the U.S. whisteblower Edward Snowden. Apparently CSEC tracked the wireless devices of passengers emerging from Canadian airports for days. CSEC is supposed to monitor only foreign data, so if there were Canadians at this airport – not much of a stretch – these activities "constitute a clear violation of CSEC's mandates and almost certainly of the Charter," according to security expert Ron Diebert.
Should we care, as long as our packages from eBay arrive on time? Surely the law-abiding citizen doesn't need to worry about a little government snooping here and there? If you believe that, you should read Ms. Bernier's report, which concludes that the laws governing Canada's digital surveillance operations are out of date. We are driving a Ferrari with Edsel brakes.
"The technical capacity for surveillance has grown exponentially," she writes, and there's a commensurate need for accountability and oversight of spy agencies. She notes that the ideas of what is domestic and foreign data are blurred in our wired world, and that individuals and not countries are now the primary focus of intelligence gathering. Among her recommendations: Laws should be updated to "curb over-collection" of data, and CSEC should provide more information about its activities to the Canadian public.
The report contains, at the end, a dispiriting list of past reports that have made similar urgings and fallen into a gaping chasm of official indifference. I worry that in a few months you'll find her report propping up a table in a Parliament Hill cafeteria.
Her report "drew crickets in Ottawa," The Globe's Josh Wingrove wrote. Even before it came out, Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, took note of "the shameful Canadian silence on surveillance." In the U.S., he blogged, "the surveillance issue has emerged as a significant political issue since the Snowden leaks and the U.S. government has recognized the need to address it." But here? Please feel free to picture a member of the government, gaze averted, whistling a show tune.
It's hard to imagine our friends to the south shrugging off these revelations. Americans shriek when you touch their privacy parts. President Barack Obama was recently forced to utter the name "Snowden" and make changes to NSA collection policy. He had to acknowledge the gravity of the situation, and the public anger. He had already bowed to pressure and appointed a panel to examine the NSA's reach. (It recommended that the collection of phone data should be curbed.)
Now, Americans have always been happy to give their government the benefit of mistrust. Their founding principles include wariness and "get off my damn property," while ours might be best described as, "can't we all get along?" That's a great policy 90 per cent of the time, but in this case we may want to take a (fig) leaf from our neighbours, and do more to protect ourselves.
This is not the first time Mr. Snowden's documents have pointed to dubious goings-on in our cyber-spying agency: Previous leaks indicated that CSEC colluded with its partners in the NSA to allow eavesdropping on leaders at the G20 summit in Toronto, and collect data on Brazil's Mines and Energy Ministry. This, at the very least, is something Canadians should know about.
But, you might say, spies need great leeway in collecting data from cellphone records and e-mail trails, in order to protect us from terrorists. Absolutely, I agree. I'm just not sure which terrorists were hiding in the mines of Brazil, or at the climate conference in Copenhagen, where NSA listening was reportedly aided by its Canadian and global partners. Maybe the bad guys were tucked away in Lego headquarters.
The privacy watchdogs have been baying a lot lately. Imagine if we listened to their warnings, instead of rolling over and going to sleep.Report Typo/Error

The Buffalo Sabres ended months of speculation Friday by trading Ryan Miller and agitating forward Steve Ott to the St. Louis Blues for three players and two draft picks.
Goalie Jaroslav Halak and forward Chris Stewart are the main pieces headed to Buffalo. Prospect William Carrier, a second-round draft pick of the Blues in 2013, plus a first-round pick in 2015 and a third-rounder in 2016 are also part of the package.
U.S. Olympian Miller, 33, is 15-22-3 in 40 games this season, with a .923 save percentage and 2.72 goals-against average. Ott has nine goals and 11 assists in 59 games this season.
Through 40 games with the Blues this season, the 28-year-old Halak is 24-9-4 with a .917 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average. Stewart has 15 goals and 11 assists in 58 games.

The aims of this research were: 1) to know management of risk, 2) to analyze the level of risk and 3) to know the expected value in Sunan Kudus Farm (SKF). The Methodology of this research is case study with: 1) descriptive design by qualitative analysis to know the risk management of SKF and 2) exploration design by: a) analysis of risk and b) analysis of risk decision using decision tree. Management of production risk not well – managed and marketing risk well – managed. The result of analysis of risk showed that SKF would get the risk amount of Rp 47.629.868,52 (standard deviation) or 1,3 (coeficient variation) higher than the mean of earning (Rp 36.747.387,92) and SKF would get the lowest earning amount Rp -58.512.349,12. The result of risk decision analysis showed that the expected value in Lebaran period (high demand) are Rp 128.969.580,- if SKF increased the population of broiler and Rp 107.474.650,- if SKF did not do that; the expected value in new period of school (low demand) are Rp 14.368.120,- if SKF decreased the population and Rp 17.960.150,- if SKF did not do that. The conclussion of this research suggest SKF should increase the population of broiler in Lebaran period and do not decrease them in new period of school for the next production period.

Dyfed-Powys Police has invested in new resources and brought together specialists to create a unit to target cyber-crime.
The new Digital Communications and Cyber Crime Unit will have the capability to respond in fast time to rapidly changing internet and associated technology threats and collaborate with partners including the Regional Cyber Crime Unit to reduce cyber and cyber-enabled crime.
Detective Superintendent Aled Davies, Criminal Investigation Department said: "It is well documented that the changing digital environment has offered new opportunities for criminals to exploit. It is essential that we combine force knowledge and investigative assets to target cyber-crime.
"The unit, consisting of detectives, high tech forensic investigators, analysts and researchers, will provide Dyfed Powys Police with a powerful asset which will give significant support to major crime and intelligence operations, as well as supporting front line officers to obtain the best evidence in cases they are investigating.
"The team will look to improve on both the public and business awareness of cyber-crime and what they can do to protect themselves from cyber criminals.
"We are also in the process of enhancing our ability to deal with cyber-crime through the development of new training, which will provide officers with the capability to better understand, investigate and disrupt cyber-crime."
Recent statistics published by GOV.UK indicate that 81% of large corporations and 60% of small businesses reported a cyber-breach in 2013.
Detective Superintendent Davies added: "A significant amount of cyber-crime is preventable; we are actively encouraging consumers and businesses to ensure that they have the latest security software installed on their computer to browse safely online. By taking basic crime prevention steps people can significantly reduce their chances of becoming a victim of crime on-line."

New Delhi/Mumbai: India doesn't allow companies with foreign direct investment (FDI) to sell products on the Internet. But that rule has no bearing on Apple Inc. selling songs, music and apps through iTunes in India for several reasons, experts said.
The company recently began offering songs and movies for download through iTunes.
Apple offers third-party content and isn't retailing its own products, such as phones and computers, online. Any local content it offers is through revenue-sharing contracts with developers.
An industry official said iTunes is a "virtual storefront" or a platform on which third-party copyrighted content is being sold. The person, who did not want to be identified, said the timing of the start of song and movie sales on iTunes had nothing to do with the vote on FDI in retail in Parliament last week. The iTunes launch was part of an exercise that saw the service being rolled out in 56 countries on 4 December.
Amazon.com Inc. is already selling products online in India, said Akash Gupt, executive director of consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Apple itself has been selling apps through iTunes prior to its latest move.
The companies import and sell to a buyer who pays the duty and shipping charges.
"The model adopted by mobile application stores or something like iTunes seems to be that of trading or of a service where they are a marketplace offering products of other developers or content providers and there is no policy required for such trading," Gupt said.
Such websites aren't registered in India and the content on them is hosted on servers overseas.
Payments are also not processed in India and hence don't come under the FDI policy, added Nitish Asthana, commercial director, First Data India.
The digital downloads market, which includes books, music, videos, wallpapers and ring tones, was Rs.1,000 crore in 2011 and is growing at 50% per year, according to First Data, the ICICI Merchant Services representative. Of this, music and video downloads accounted for just Rs.80 crore.
"Selling services and intangibles online is not something new," said Paresh Parekh, tax partner, retail and consumer products, Ernst and Young.
"Even before iTunes or (Amazon's) Kindle store launched, we have been buying apps for our Android or Apple products. This is import of services and intangibles and the server is hosted outside the country."
A department of industrial policy and promotion official said the subject didn't come under the department as there is no FDI investment involved and it is more of a trade issue.

Agent: Boyle inclined to stay put
There has been a lot of speculation recently that the Lightning is intending to try to trade defenseman Dan Boyle to free up some cap space. The talk almost certainly will heat up now that Tampa Bay acquired from the Flyers, minor league defenseman Janne Niskala, who had 19 goals and 44 points in 80 games last season for AHL Milwaukee.
Before we even get into why the Lightning, as it stands at this moment, is in no position to give up one of the league's best puck-moving defensemen, let's start with this: Dan Boyle, recently married to a local woman and expecting a child in late November, has a no-trade clause that his agent said Monday Boyle likely is not inclined to waive.
"I haven't pushed it with Dan other than when we signed," agent George Bazos said of when Boyle signed his six-year, $40-million deal. "Dan wants to be in Tampa. Nothing has changed as far as that goes. My best guess is that Dan would not want to waive his no-trade clause right now."
And unless the Lightning has plans for a huge trade that would bring in another puck-moving defenseman, or is looking to grab a defenseman in free agency, something owner Oren Koules said is not in their plans, losing Dan Boyle seems a bit of a head-scratcher.
Consider, first, Niskala has yet to play an NHL game. Consider also that there is no one else in the organization with Boyle's kind of puck-moving skills or who can control the transition and the power play like he can. Recall when Boyle was hurt last season, the Lightning had a tough time on the transition to the point it changed its breakouts. As we have mentioned before, Paul Ranger may have it in him but who knows if he will be 100 percent after shoulder surgery. Shane O'Brien? He has the instincts but, right now, not the experience or focus.
To me, and this is just me, it would seem more reasonable to perhaps try and trade, say, Filip Kuba, a huge disappointment last season. That would save $3-million off the cap.
Look, who's to say what will happen? The Lightning after this free agent frenzy may sit down, take stock of what it has and needs and decides on certain courses of action. But for now, Bazos said the team has not contacted him in any way about his client's future with the team and has not asked Boyle to waive his no-trade clause. Still, the Boyle thing seems odd to me. Can't imagine Boyle feels too good either hearing and reading about this stuff. He signed with the Lightning, after all, because he wants to stay here and believes in the franchise.

Australian cyclist Rohan Dennis has crashed out of the Commonwealth Games men's road race.
Three days after winning silver in the time trial, Dennis was leading the peloton on the fourth of 12 laps when he went down on a corner.
He was holding his arm and soon after was in a team car.
Two days ago, Dennis made a dramatic in-season move from the Garmin-Sharp professional team to BMC.
It is extremely rare for a pro rider to change teams during the season.
The plan is for Dennis to start in the Tour of Spain later this month.
There was no immediate word on how badly the Australian was hurt in the crash.
Dennis was at the front of the main group as they chased Isle of Man rider Peter Kennaugh, who attacked on the first lap in the 168.2km race.
By the end of four laps, Kennaugh had a lead of one minute 49 seconds over a group of 35.

The reality star joins Rose McGowan and Russell Crowe who are against the boycott, saying that 'the hotel staff are being negatively affected every day.'
Kim Kardashian has reconsidered her decision to join boycott against Beverly Hills hotel. Some Hollywood figures previously called for boycott for the hotel, which is owned by the Sultan of Brunei, after the sultan implemented Islamic law which gives harsh punishment for adulterer and homosexuals.
In an open letter she posted on her site on June 23, the reality star said she backpedalled on her decision after she had a conversation with her best friend Allison. "Allison shared with me her view on the situation and we 100% agree that the actions and law enforcements of the Sultan are completely against everything we believe in," she wrote.
"However, I started to realize that maybe boycotting the hotel isn't the best solution either. For a sultan that has 20 billion dollars, this loss of business doesn't even make a dent in his fortunes. But the hotel staff are being negatively affected every day with the boycott that has gone on for weeks now... We shouldn't punish the amazing hard-working people who have been so good to us for years," the reality star continued, adding that the hotel was her "safe haven" when she was pregnant and that she was close to some staffers at the hotel.
Stating her support to Rose McGowan and Russell Crowe's opinions on the matter, she said, "The unjust treatment and violation of rights of the LGBT community around the world is never justified and I will continue to proudly support the LGBT community in every way imaginable." The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star believes "there has to be another solution" for the issue.

Duquesne charter school plan considered
Duquesne Charter School is unprepared to take on the education of city children, according to the district's chief recovery officer, Paul Rach.
"A charter school is not feasible under current law," Rach testified on Friday during Duquesne City School District's public hearing to review Duquesne Charter School Founding Group's application to operate a kindergarten through sixth-grade facility for approximately 200 students, either within Duquesne Education Center or the former Duquesne Catholic School.
Duquesne City School District is working through a financial and educational recovery plan, mandated by the state Department of Education and Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade attend Duquesne Education Center, while the education of students in seventh through 12th grades is outsourced to West Mifflin Area and East Allegheny schools.
Facilitated by court-appointed receiver Paul B. Long, Friday's hearing allowed time for testimony by Duquesne Charter School founders, district personnel and the public.
"This is a formal hearing for the purpose of gathering facts so as to reach a decision as to whether to grant approval of the Duquesne Charter School," Long explained. "No decision will be issued today."
By state law, Long's decision can be made no sooner than Feb. 10 and no later than March 12. As a supplement to Friday's proceedings, public comment may be submitted in writing, along with any responses to questions raised by the applicant or district, by Jan. 10 at 5 p.m.
"We are not here to replace Duquesne City or any other district," Duquesne Charter School Founding Group president Connie Lucas said. "Our goal is to provide a high standard of education for children right here in their community."
Rach and acting Superintendent Barbara McDonnell flipped through the Duquesne Charter School application page by page, adding footnotes on each section listing what they described as inconsistencies, contradictions and references to out-of-date law.
"This proposal is inappropriate," McDonnell said several times. "There is no comprehensive model of operations in this document."
McDonnell and Rach did not highlight some sections of the application, but clarified that their lack of comment did not imply approval. They said it seemed many pages were copied directly from other sources, but the sources were not revealed.
"Without source materials referenced, we cannot research some of these materials," Rach said.
After the hearing, Lucas said she thought many of the questions raised on Friday had been addressed in the current application, which essentially is a revision of an application that was denied earlier this month by the state Charter School Appeal Board.
Lucas said the current application was developed "just in case" the original plan was denied. She said curriculum issues prompted the appeal board to deny the first application.
When asked why a full curriculum was not provided on Friday — knowing that had been the cause for denial in the first round of application — Lucas said it will be submitted by the Jan. 10 deadline. During testimony, co-founder Carolyn Perrin said the application does not include a math curriculum, but it has been prepared and is ready to be submitted.
"This is a tremendous pioneering effort, here," co-founder Larry Hasan said. "You have to take time to see the vision."
District officials argued that there is no vision in place and that so-called innovative concepts listed in the application are educational practices that have been used for years in Pennsylvania, some since the 1980s.
Elected school board member Burton Comensky spoke of the school's limited resources and said he has faith in the new administration's effort to give each student the education he or she needs.
"The amount of money that a charter school will take out of the district is unfeasible for our district to lose," he said. "Half the amount of students also is unfeasible to lose."
Comensky said Duquesne schools are improving slowly, reiterating points made by administrators since the start of the 2013-14 school year with the development of individual learning plans for all students.
According to Pennsylvania's School Performance Profile data, made available to the public online at www.paschoolperformance.org, Duquesne Elementary has a low score of 49.3. Comensky mentioned the performance of Wilkinsburg Borough schools — both elementary buildings performing in the mid-50s — from where Duquesne Charter School co-founder Archie Perrin recently retired. That district has made headlines in recent months for educational and financial management issues.

Really like it so far.
The battery was just what i was looking for..light and powerfull..
great battery, pricey but worth it. very light but very powerful
After logging on to Shorai to register the warranty for my battery, I discovered the J&P fitment reference was not the same as the manufacturer. I notified J&P and they corrected the error but perhaps you should be aware of the issue before you order your battery.

Working great on my '90 Heritage Softail. Arrived fully charged and ready
I love this battery. It's extremely lite and has plenty of cranking power. Requires a proprietary Shorai tender/charger!
I'm giving this a 2 because of ad fraud. have a 09 King and the + terminal needed to be on right side, which this photo shows. Even the box has the terminal on the right side, IT ISN'T. If I.m Paying $300+ for a battery that's supposed to fit, I am not adding and rerouting wire to make it fit.They are suppose to be sending the right one, but waiting 4 weeks to get the proper one sucks.
Ultra fast cranking with my cvo and its light weight made for easy installation. Highly recommended over all other batteries I've used since 1974 in my scooters.
This battery is awesome so far. My 2003 fxdl isn't stock. Its now a 95 cubic inch. With bigger valve heads ported polished. The heads were milled .050 thousands. So compression now is 10/5/1 I don't need my compression releases anymore. Bike starts really nice now.
Installed in a 2013 Fat Boy 103 CI. stock bike. Started first time, then wouldn't start afterwards. Checked bikes charging system, no problem there. Called Shorai tech support. Nice lady took my information, and said send it to them. Got it back in about a month. Report said that it had to be reconditioned. On a new battery? Reinstalled in bike and works good, but still strains to start bike. My recommendation? Buy a Yuasa AGM battery. Spins the motor like the plugs are out.

Review: Trust
3:00 PM on 12.27.2012 // Geoff Henao@videocognito
Don't trust anything you see on the internet, especially when it comes to love and dating. My generation of mid-20somethings know a thing or two about the dangers of profile pictures and the right angles. A few films have captured the risk/reward dichotomy that online dalliances offer (Catfish and You Got Mail, for example).
Trust follows in the line of films detailing the lack of correlation between internet activity and trust.
Director: Alan Mulligan
Rating: N/A
Country: Ireland
Ally (Sarah Carroll) logs into a dating website to find a man for some late-night fun. However, the man she chooses, Richard (Richard Wall), is a married man. Or perhaps this was all part of her plan? While at first reluctant and hesitant at the prospect of a discreet, casual encounter, Richard relents. Of course, nothing is ever as easy as it seems online.
Trust takes a minor twist to create more drama in its plot, but it feels kind of uninspired. Ally, wracked by the memories of a failed relationship, is driven to prey on Richard (and others, it's implied) because of this sense of revenge. Though thin and one-dimensional, this exposition helps to at least shape Ally's character, which is more than what can be said about Richard.
By all accounts, Richard seems to have just been caught in a web of sex and shenanigans. Really, outside of his general hesitance to comply with Ally's sexual advances, there isn't much to say about who he is as a character. However, given that Trust is a short film, that's not especially needed. In any other format, Trust wouldn't be as interesting.
The film is stripped down to the basics of plot, antagonist/protagonist conflict, and fine cinematography. As I've said in the past, the best short films are well-written and full of nuance, where every single sentence/frame is important. Trust is simple, sure, but writer/director Alan Mulligan looks to be on the right track for any future projects he'll head.
Trust - Reviewed by Geoff Henao
Decent. Yes, this could have been better, but it is still worth your time.

Very less bleeding during periods?
hi im a woman of 26 years old and want to concieve we even tried but i got my periods and it was very very less bleeding through it lasted up to 6 days and as comparing to my earlier periods i do not bleed tht much except for the 2nd day and then its normal ..i have an irregular period days as it usually extends 5-6 days ahead of my last period date...please help me out ..and is it safe to get pregnant after my low periods...or should i wait for my next period before i try to concieve ????? will wait for ur reply.....THANKS
If your periods are irregular, then you may not be ovulating regularly. I would recommend that you see your physician for an evaluation to determine this. Usually, ovulation problems are easily correctable with the use of fertility pills.

Climate change blows out eco-boss's record bid
Wind farm firm's spin-inflated rep
Posted in Science, 15th September 2008 14:10 GMT
Opinion An attempt to set a new wind-powered land speed record, backed by a self-described "hippie" businessman and wind energy promoter, has failed. Dale Vince OBE, founder of energy-trading and windfarm firm Ecotricity, blamed carbon-induced climate change for the setback.
Ecotricity is backing the "Greenbird" high-speed land yacht team in an attempt to break the record. The plan was to make an attempt on the flat bed of Lake Lefroy in Western Australia this month, but unseasonal rains have put a spanner in the works.
Dale Vince - a big bag of wind?
Writing at his blog, zerocarbonista ("Viva the next industrial revolution"!) Vince explains:
This year's Greenbird land record attempt is a washout. I didn't even get to Australia... The lake is normally dry in September, but this year it's wet due to uncharacteristic rain fall... These unusual and changing weather patterns, typical results of the impact of climate change, have scuppered our record attempt... it's an irony not lost on us while that while Greenbird is intended to show how the world might be getting around when fossil fuels run out - the changes that fossil fuels are causing to our climate right now appears to be the very thing that has stopped us.
In the next twenty years, I firmly believe that wind power will be our main energy source and wind-powered cars will no longer be the stuff of dreams.
Vince says he's a vegan, former bus-dwelling New Age traveller, peace campaigner, and "a hippie".
He doesn't mean that wheely windjammers like the Greenbird will one day back and fill in the traffic jams of tomorrow. Rather, he proposes relatively conventional electric battery cars, which would charge up from a future UK electricity grid pretty much entirely powered by wind. The Greenbird itself is merely a publicity stunt.
But that's not to say that Vince doesn't have some amazing stuff on offer right now. His main business venture is Ecotricity, which like many other companies will sell you "green" electricity. Unlike those others, however, Ecotricity also says that "for every £1 you spend with us through your electricity bills we spend another £1 building new sources of green electricity... that's not a promise, it's a fact".
Well, kind of. In its annual progress report, Ecotricity enlarges somewhat:
Over the last four years we've invested on average £460 per customer per year. The typical household bill for electricity in the UK is about £400 – that's why we say for every pound you spend with us through your electricity bill, we spend a pound building new sources of clean energy.
The company says it had 33,000 customers by January this year. However, "more than 2,300" of these were businesses - for example Ford Motors at Dagenham, which is expected to take 6.7 million kilowatt-hours from Ecotricity annually. This should yield revenues of several hundred thousand pounds at least, from just one client: giving a clue as to how the firm is able to afford £460 of new windmills per customer every year without fail.
So it really is a "fact" that Ecotricity will spend a pound on windmills for every pound you spend with them; but only if you spend £460 or less. If you're a big customer, Ecotricity will spend perhaps one-tenth of a penny on new windmills for every pound you give them.
Still, at least it's green 'leccy, isn't it?
Well, no, actually, not according to Ecotricity. The company's juice was 24 per cent renewable at the last count, from its own turbines. This is expected to rise to 30. The rest was approximately one-third each from nuclear, coal and gas. The idea is that the profits from the company's main business - that is, selling "brown" electricity at the same retail prices as the major brown-electricity providers, a highly lucrative activity - are ploughed into the wind turbine programme. Well, and a few other things like the Greenbird, directors' pay etc. Details are sketchy - the Ecotricity Group is set up as a maze of different privately-held companies.
But by golly, Vince isn't skimping on the windmills: "One in six of all the wind projects in England today were planned and built by Ecotricity. Or looking at in another way, we produce more than 12 per cent of England's wind energy..."
Or you could look at it still another way. The British Wind Energy Association says there are over 2500 megawatts of wind plant operational as of going to press. Ecotricity admits that it has 50 megawatts of wind farm capacity to date, providing 15 megawatts output averaged over time - that is to say, less than two per cent of the UK's wind energy.
Being big in England is not a big deal in UK windfarm terms. After 12 years of effort, Ecotricity remains an insignificant wind provider - and wind provides only a tiny fraction of British energy. The company is a small minnow in a small pond as regards renewables, though it seems quite a profitable little energy-trading operation.
Nice. Who said you can't produce big, significant numbers using spin machinery?
Well, we seem to be looking at about 130 million units pa of green 'leccy from Ecotricity's windmills, which we're told was a quarter of what it sold last time it added up. The total annual units flogged must thus have been 520m odd, indicating revenues in the £50m range at current retail prices*.
For the 06/07 year, wholesale leccy was going for approximately 4p a unit on average, so buying in brown juice to resell will have set Vince back say £15m, leaving him £35m ahead. He spent £20m of that on new windmills, he says, leaving £15m for the Greenbird, running costs and whatever else was deemed appropriate.
In reality, for every pound you give Ecotricity, it will not spend a pound on windmills. Broad brush it will spend around 30p on buying brown 'leccy, 40p on windmills, and keep the rest like any other energy firm.
Forty per cent of what you pay on new windmills is still far and away more than any normal electricity company would spend. If you really really like windmills - though there are those who offer cogent reasons not to - you should surely give your money to Dale Vince so that he can buy himself some more.
Just check everything he tells you, like, rilly rilly carefully, man. Dale Vince talks the talk of a righteous hippie eco-peacenik vegan dude, but he walks the walk of The Man. ®
*Vince has a reputation for hardnosed bargaining with his corporate clients, and they don't have to chip in a penny on development for their onsite PR-bonanza wind turbines. They probably wind up paying close to retail rate; and anyway this is a minority part of the business.

UnBooks talk:The Idiot's Guide to Getting Your Own Back (Ex-Wife Edition)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Pee Review
What do you think. --—Braydie 13:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm still learning the formats here but (as a yank) I was confused by the title. Maybe it could be moved to a more universal title "Healthy breakup strategies," or "Staying OK when parting ways," "Finding beauty in breaking up," Maybe a How to? Anyway, something like that might make it more likely to be featured. Best parts-- "repeat until dead" and "some lame excuse like 'I want to see our child'." --Jives 17:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the opinion. Someone else has also said something about the title, I just don't know what to change it to. --—Braydie 17:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe there's a famous nasty breakup you could use. "End it like McCartney." dunno. But once it's all lined up it'll really work well.--Jives 17:26, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I like how Paul was crucified too for being an informant (pigeon stool)! A+ --AmericanBastard 03:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Varane breathes life into Madrid
The Frenchman produced one of his best ever displays in a Madrid shirt. He made a number of decisive tackles and then headed in the equaliser to keep the tie wide open.
Real Madrid left the Bernabéu still alive after drawing the Clásico 1-1 while Barcelona headed home with the sensation that they had missed a vital opportunity, as they had so many chances to finish off the game and secure their passage to the final of the Copa del Rey.
Cesc Fábregas's away goal could prove vital but Raphael Varane's equaliser helped Madrid regain their self-esteem and will give them huge confidence to take with them to the Camp Nou. If this game proved anything, it is that home advantage counts for little in this famous duel which never fails to inspire passion and awe.
This was not just any old Clásico, but one which threw up a new star: Varane. The 19-year-old was Madrid's hero as he rescued a match that was in Barcelona's hands and there for the taking. With Barcelona creating chance after chance the Frenchman suddenly appeared in the opposing box to head home a cross from Mesut Özil with a perfect blend of power and technique. Before that, he had got his team out of jail with three decisive tackles. Indeed it is difficult to recall a better performance from any other centre-back in a Clásico in recent memory.
The most remarkable thing about the first half was that it ended goalless. Xavi Hernández struck the crossbar with a free-kick and then saw his shot cleared off the line by the ever-present Varane, after a poor back-pass by Ricardo Carvalho had left debutant goalkeeper Diego López stranded. Madrid also had chances, the best falling to Karim Benzema, who shot wide of Pinto after José Callejón had given him the chance on a plate.
Barcelona's goal was a hammer blow to a bright Madrid, with Callejón hitting a poor pass out of defence which was intercepted by Leo Messi and directed to Fábregas, who made no mistake.
The Catalans became stronger with their goal and Pedro missed a golden chance to double the lead, somehow skewing wide with just López to beat. Fàbregas also fired over, while López saved well from Jordi Alba and Dani Alves.
Barcelona were distraught when they conceded their equaliser but Madrid had been threatening to score for some time, with Gerard Piqué heroically robbing the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo when the Portuguese was bearing down on goal. Before that, Ronaldo pushed a diving header wide of goal from inside the six yard box.
Unlike the league Clásico in October, this game was not about the battle between Messi and Cristiano, who have both had better games in this fixture. But this had little bearing on the spectacle, for this is a duel too exciting and too intense to rely on two players, even if they are the best in the world.
Messi and Cristiano will return to their best in this fixture but the Clásico will remain the same: the best sporting spectacle in the world.

TERRY WOSTER: Growing up with Elvis
If I said John, Paul, George and Ringo, chances are you'd think "The Beatles.''
If I said George, though, would you automatically think George Harrison? Or might you think George Bush, George Washington, King George or even George Herman Ruth? Right, that last one is unlikely, but the others aren't impossible, are they? (And I say this as a huge Beatles fan, so don't think I'm being disrespectful of the Lads, just pondering fame, popularity and name recognition.)
If I said John, you'd probably have hundreds of choices that wouldn't end with Lennon, depending on context. And Paul? Quite a number of options there that wouldn't necessarily need to be Sir McCartney. Ringo? OK, I'll give you Ringo Starr, although I'd guess there are still a fair number of folks around who might say Johnny Ringo. (Hey, some people might even say John Peters Ringo if I said "John,'' although those folks would be few.)
All of which leads me to this: If I said Elvis, please tell me you wouldn't say Elvis Costello. If I said Elvis Costello, sure, you can think that guy if you want. But if I just one-named it and said Elvis, you have to automatically think "Presley,'' don't you? Or has the age of instant communications moved us beyond knowing much about one of the most accomplished and captivating entertainers of his time?
I've been thinking about the whole Elvis mystique a bit because the anniversary of his death is approaching. He died on Aug. 16, 1977, just two months after a concert in Rapid City. According to the set-list, Elvis opened the Rapid City show with "See See Rider,'' and closed with "Can't Help Falling in Love.'' In between he did more than 20 other numbers, any one of which I would dearly have loved to have been in the civic center to hear.
Elvis was one of the first of the first-name entertainers in my experience. Anyone my age would know who I meant if I said "Jerry Lee,'' but in my experience, people called him Jerry Lee Lewis, the whole name. Same with Buddy Holly. You could call him "Buddy,'' and people of a certain age would know who you meant. But his public knew him as Buddy Holly.
"Elvis'' was Elvis. After a couple of months with his first song or two on the radio charts, nobody called him Elvis Presley except maybe Ed Sullivan and the U.S. Army. He was Elvis, a first name that made girls swoon and guys jealous. And while guys were jealous, they also were studying the entertainer, trying to get a smoky look in their eyes, practicing in front of a mirror to make the edge of their upper lip curl in a playful sneer, slicking back their hair with Brylcreem and letting their sideburns grow far, far beyond the limits of their fathers' tolerance.
Many other rock-and-rolling musicians hit the stages and airwaves at the same time Elvis did. Many were polished musicians — songwriters, instrumentalists, technicians of music. Elvis could play guitar and piano some, and he knew how a song ought to sound. But at heart, he was an entertainer. No matter where he went, he was the guy out front who drew the crowd's attention. He had the black leather outfits, the jump-suits and scarves, the oversized sunglasses and all that, but what he did best was just walk out on stage and blow the audience away by singing.
He started his career as a slender, seemingly shy kid from Tupelo, Miss., a performer who seemed unable to sing without moving every part of his body. He ended his career as "Fat Elvis,'' the puffy, sweating guy in the stretched-out jump-suit. I recognize the difference. So do the rest of his fans. But when he sang, even in his last years, his voice took his fans past all that to a place where they were young, the world was good and the future had no limit.
At some point Thursday evening or night, I'll watch a tape of the 1968 Comeback Special and the Aloha from Hawaii concert, and I'll remember growing up with Elvis.

Robert Pattinson shirtless-ness continues
Here's some more pics from the set of New Moon in Italy because I know how you ladies like seeing Robert Pattinson unencumbered by a shirt. You may now begin fantasizing about him being so sensitive he'll take you to Olive Garden without expectations of a handjob on the ride home. Ha! Science fiction is craaazy.

It's even closer to the STL license. However, it's not exactly either of them as it has the name of the author in some places. Best I suppose would be to make the License field "STL" as thats what it's closest to, and file a RFE against rpmlint to add that license. I think rpmlint only recognizes the MIT tag as thats what OSI calls the MIT/X11 license. gnu.org calls it only the X11 license and says "This license is sometimes called the "MIT" license, but that term is misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software." I guess I do see a number of packages using X11/MIT, so I guess rpmlint should recognize either of the forms of this same license (X11, MIT/X11, MIT). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

'Gandhi`s ideas influenced release of Lockerbie bomber'
The recent release of the alleged Lockerbie bomber was in line with Mahatma Gandhi`s principles of compassion and non-violence, Scotland First Minister Alex Salmond has said.
London: The recent release of the alleged Lockerbie bomber was in line with Mahatma Gandhi`s principles of compassion and non-violence, Scotland First Minister Alex Salmond has said.
Speaking during a conference of his Scottish National Party, in Inverness, Salmond said that the Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill was right in deciding to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds in August.
Salmond recalled the recent visit of Mahatma Gandhi`s grandson, Arun Gandhi to Scotland and said, "One of the things he told me is that his grandfather`s philosophy is much misunderstood. His resistance was not passive, but active. His dedication to non-violence a strength, not a weakness".
Salmond continued in the Gandhian mode, "Sometimes, someone has to break the cycle of retribution with an act of compassion - that is what Kenny MacAskill did and we should be proud of him for doing it."
Earlier, Salmond said he will consider a proposal to set up a Scottish centre for non-violence, peace and reconciliation after a meeting with Arun Gandhi.
Gandhi, 74, was in Scotland to deliver lectures at the universities of Edinburgh, Dundee and Queen Margaret. He addressed a conference at Napier University on the Gandhian
approach to ethical leadership.
After meeting Salmond, Gandhi said, "I hope that there will be a greater, deeper association with Scotland through the work of non-violence."
A Scottish Government spokesman said, "We are happy to examine any proposal that comes forward."
Salmond said, "Gandhi`s lifetime`s dedication to the causes which he believes in is a superb example to us all and I am honoured that he has been able to visit Scotland."
Gandhi also visited Dunde university where he delivered this year`s Margaret Harris Lecture on Religion, entitled 21st Century Peace-Making: The Gandhi Way.
Stating that society had built a culture of violence to exploit people for individual and national gain, he said peace was not just the absence of war, but a collective will for all cultures, religions and nationalities to live in harmony.
He said, "Peace in the Gandhian sense means building friendships, relationships that are based on respect, understanding, compassion and love, which is much more lasting than weapons of mass destruction."
Gandhi also opened a new exhibition in the university`s Dalhousie Building called India in Close Up, which features a collection of rarely seen photographs depicting everyday life in India during the 1960s.
It also includes private portraits of two of India`s most charismatic prime ministers, Indira Gandhi and her father, Jawaharlal Nehru.
University chaplain, the Reverend Fiona Douglas said, "There has been a lot of anticipation about Arun Gandhi coming to the university. The name Gandhi resonates like no other."

James Bond's favourite carmaker, Aston Martin, is at the centre of feverish takeover speculation.
Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota, plus Indian and Chinese car-makers, are all said to be eyeing a full or partial collaborative stake in the loss-making UK supercar-maker.
Aston Martin insists the firm "is not up for sale, full stop."
But City and automotive experts remain to be convinced and predict more action in the weeks to come – centred on the Kuwaiti investment company Investment Dar which has a 64 percent holding in the manufacturer.
Takeover speculation moved up several gears when financial agency Bloomberg reported that Aston Martin's main shareholder was seeking new 'suitors'.
Notably, Aston Martin's factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire is next to the design and engineering centre of Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by India's TATA group.
Aston Martin posted a pre-tax loss of £33.1-million (R469-million) last year, compared to pre-tax profits of £6.9-million (R98-million) in 2010.
The company also spent £2.75m to bring production of the Rapide model from Austria to its main UK factory. -Daily Mail

Let's see, running down the court to back on "D" and staring down the opposing teams bench or standing under the goal staring down the fans while everyone else is running to get back on "D"...
Now I don't think that it caused any problems last night on the defensive end, but it's professionalism and maturity that I'm talking about.
Was it mature or professional that Reggie did it? No.
I had no idea anyone would feel so passionately about this subject as it appears you do. Jermaine is an all-star and an MVP candidate with good basketball skills....I'm not going to tit-for-tat refute the points in your post because I think it is a waste of time to argue about something so meaningless.Originally Posted by Skaut_Ech
I'm certainly not going to vilify one of our best players because he likes to show a little emotion and be fired up....Go ahead, JO; beat your chest if you want to....One of the things I find most annoying about Tim Duncan is his lack of emotion. He seems less like a human being that way. I don't want to watch machines play the game...
I don't think you're paying attention. Reggie running down the court to get back on D and staring down the opposing bench as he RUNS BY is a bit different than turning your back to the court and staring at the opposiing team's fans as everyone runs down on D.Originally Posted by circlecitysportsfan
Did you not even see him?
(And for the record, reggie saved his stares for teams and games that meant something, not Doh-rlando )

I don't enjoy JO's ridiculous taunts either, but I guess I've learned to accept that as part of the package. I don't have as much of a problem with it now as I did a few years ago...
Can we just blame David Stern for this one since he is the one that has always insisted the NBA is more than a game "Its Entertainment".
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I don't mind show-boating all that much as long as the clock isn't ticking.
I DO mind crying wolf to the refs. You don't want the refs to tune you out, because one day - when they really ARE being unfair, you need to be able to get thier attention and reason with them.
But this is one game, and I don't really remember seeing too much of this sort of thing last night so I guess the crying wolf thing can be applied to our complaints about the team as well.
People here will find anything to complain about. I hope JO keeps doing it after everydamn basket he makes just to **** you off. I wish we had Tyson Chandler and Zo Mourning so they can celebrate after rebounds.
Yeah, whining sucks.
"They could turn out to be only innocent mathematicians, I suppose," muttered Woevre's section officer, de Decker.
"'Only.'" Woevre was amused. "Someday you'll explain to me how that's possible. Seeing that, on the face of it, all mathematics leads, doesn't it, sooner or later, to some kind of human suffering."

I mean if he gave Ben or Rasheed Wallace a facial in an important game then hell yeah, beat your chest, raise a little hell with the opposing teams fans, but to do it ALMOST everytime? I don't know.
Just my opinion is all.
JO's (and other Pacers) showboating is exactly why many fans (myself included) can not get as behind this team as I once did. I am a HUGE Pacer fan, but every time JO, Ron, Stephen, Mel-Mel, etc tries to make themselves bigger than the team on the court, it makes me sick. Have the people who have been defending JO been listening to Reggie's criticism of the team. He says that they are immature and prone to in-fighting. That speaks of being mentally weak and self-centered (among other things). Normally I keep my mouth quiet and just lurk, but I too was disappointed again by some of the actions on the court last night and by the asinine defense of his actions. The sad thing is last night is probably only just the beginning of the "look at me - aren't I great" crap that will keep us behind Detroit and the Spurs.
Nobody is asking for people to be robots or sleepwalk out on the court, but do the job like you have been there before. Leave the "look at me" celebrations for when they actually count (i.e. winning Game 7 of the NBA Finals).
I chalk up many of the supports of JO to the SportsCenter generation. The JO staredowns, Fatoine shimmy, the TO sharpies, the Chad Johnson anything - they all have a time and a place. What bothers me is the lack of subtlety or timing. Celebrate when you do something outstanding - not every made bucket, first down catch or wide open reception. That is one aspect that irks me. The other is that historically "champions" in any sport are the guys who either don't overtly celebrate individually or if they do it is highly selective. Name me one Piston, Spurs or Patriot who is known more for their "stare downs" or "TD dances" than they are for their contributions to the team victory.
JO's antics are endemic of a self centered player, not a leader.
As for the "stare-down" being a detriment to JO's "D"... I didn't see him not get back because of that any last night. Also, as to how "professional" it is... What do you think the NBA is, an office building? I bet seeing JO get a nice dunk and then doing his signature stare serves to get the team pumped up as well as himself. I like to see players play with some emotion, not just go through the movements.
This guy is very mad.
I hope our guys celebrate extra hard tonight after every dunk they make. That way it will be hard for you to watch.
And while he's studying it he might notice how effective Duncan is using the glass.Originally Posted by Harmonica

You're quite bitter lately, and that's fine of course (God knows I'm usually bitter, too). Usually you can make your point quite well without the unneeded personal pot-shots.
There's nothing wrong with fans having different perspectives on the team. Why are you taking it all so personal?
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me

Yeah, but Will is looking for more basketball stuff, so I thought I'd throw that out there.Originally Posted by Jay@Section204
Just trying to do my part to keep him from leaving.......
if the oneal stare doesn t bother him to get back on D or hurts the team chemistry (for instance when jo gets an open dunk and he acts like he s done it all by himself, what does the guy who gave the assist think of that?) i dont see any problems in it. if they all act like grown up men and let jo do his thing (within certain limits), it may even fire up the team as has been said.
Word on the street is he doesn't want your money, he only wants to please your ears...

I don't know why, but this does not bother me at all. Reggie showed emotion, Mark showed emotion, Ronny sometimes shows emotion and JO is doing it too. I like emotion. I realize this isn't game 7, but I know when I'm playing anything (b-ball, football, whatever), I am extremely competitive and pumped up.
I understand the getting back on defense aspect and why that is something he needs to do, but some of you guys seem like you want to trade him just because he's showing emotion.
If anybody had a right to a staredown last night it was Dwight Howard. When he threw that dunk down on Jermaine's head I felt the vibrations back up here in Indiana.
But did he stare him down? No.
I could write an epic long post about this entire issue & my gut feelings on why this is the problem with the NBA, but it would be a waste of time.
Let's just say this, Ali left us with two legacy's. One good & one not so good IMO.
1. He was a great boxer, maybe the best there ever was.
2. He made it fashionable to not only win but to degrade your opponet in the process.
I'm sorry, I still beleive in sportsmanship & whenever you feel the need to do this you are not only promoting yourself but you are degrading the person you just did that to.
I feel it's wrong, but many of you don't. That's fine.
Scott has already stated how I feel on the topic & I want to go one step further.
I had a problem with Reggie whenever he would do the stupid crap as well. There was a differance though, to the best of my memory I never saw Reggie standing back celebrating while not getting back on defense.
As to the shoe sell thing, yip you are correct. Attitude does sell shoes & all of the self promotion sells jerseys.
But at the end of the day, for the NBA not the individual players, what is more important. Selling a younger person a pair of $125.00 shoes & a Jersey once a year or selling someone a season ticket or partial season ticket or 10 package?
The NBA is alienating some of their fan base because they are marketing to the wrong crowd.
Ok, now ends my old grumpy man rant.
At the end of the day, we won so let's have some dancing fruit.
Please look up "mad" in the dictionary.Originally Posted by Jermaniac

The film traces the involvement of Northfield native Ida Belle Wilcox and her husband, William, both missionaries, with the struggle against white rule in South Africa. Creating the documentary involved 12 years of research documenting the connections between Northfield and the early days of the struggle for racial equality and social justice in South Africa in the late 19th century.
Last Friday night, Carleton students, St. Olaf students, and Northfield residents gathered at the Northfield Armory on Division Street to partake in the 7th Annual Northfield Winter Stomp.

Star Tribune Looks at Carleton, St. Olaf Efforts at CollaborationDecember 7, 2012
The Dec. 7 edition of the Star Tribune looked at Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges' efforts at finding ways to collaborate and save both institutions money. Higher education reporter Jenna Ross spoke with both colleges' presidents, St. Olaf's David Anderson and Carleton's Steve Poskanzer. "Geography and history have dealt our institutions a hand with a special card that we've never really played," Poskanzer said. But don't expect the two colleges to share football fields or combine choirs, he said, laughing. "This is no merger." Thanks to a $50,000 Mellon Foundation grant, representatives from both schools have visited colleges including Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore, which offer cross-registration, and closer by, the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University, which claim different presidents, campuses and traditions but share a single academic program.

Delhi: New Delhi sent another letter saying Islamabad that it is willing to discuss terrorism and eradicate it from its soil which is not only effecting India, but other countries of the region as well.
The latest letter, delivered through diplomatic channels to Islamabad on Wednesday, was foreign secretary S Jaishankar's reply to his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Choudhary's August 19 invite to discuss Kashmir according to the UN resolutions that also call for a plebiscite in the Valley.
India's letter, discussed and approved by national security adviser Ajit Doval, also reiterates New Delhi's demand for Islamabad to move out of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Relations between the two countries have got intensified with India accusing Pakistan of stoking unrest in Kashmir, where 68 people have died in seven weeks of violent street protests that erupted after the encounter death of a Hizbul Mujahideen militant in July.
The letter exchange started after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a marked departure from India's foreign policy, talked about rights abuses in Balochistan, PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan in his Independence Day speech.
A day earlier, Pakistan high commissioner to India Abdul Basit had dedicated his country's Independence Day to Kashmir's "freedom". A day after Modi's speech, Choudhary wrote to Jaishankar, inviting him to discuss Kashmir issue. Jaishankar accepted the invitation but made it clear that Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and not Kashmir would be discussed.
In his August 19 reply, Choudhary ignored Jaishankar's proposal but not before saying that terrorism from India was also a concern for Pakistan.
Indian security establishment was convinced that Pakistan's Kashmir push was the result of a tussle between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and army chief Raheel Sharif, who is due to retire in November, sources said.
"Both are using Kashmir to incite nationalism and trying to get a leg up on each other," a senior Indian official said.

Technically speaking, we get a 146x74x25 and 290g PMP with a 4″ QVGA screen, 20Gb HDD, TV Out, USB host and USB 2.0 .
It's compatible with the following formats: Mpeg4, Xvid, DivX, WMV 7-8-9, Mp3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AC3.
It has a big fat 2500mAh battery and there is even an optional 4300 version. There's also a camera modeule, but the resolution is too crappy to mention (as you can see on the pictures).
Anyway, plenty of pictures on PMPInside's site, so definitely woth a visit!

Options aplenty for Alamo Bowl
Southern Cal's ban complicates local game's Pac-12 choice.
Updated 12:40 pm, Tuesday, November 22, 2011
The Thanksgiving weekend traditionally has been a quiet one for Valero Alamo Bowl officials.
But bowl CEO Derrick Fox is scrambling on one of the year's biggest travel weekends as he tries to arrange scouting for teams in the mix for his Dec. 29 game at the Alamodome.
"This is probably the most games we've ever been to at this time of year," Fox said about a weekend that will feature local representatives at five Big 12 and Pac-12 games.
Alamo Bowl scouts will attend Texas-Texas A&M on Thursday, Colorado-Utah and California-Arizona State on Friday and Washington-Washington State and Oklahoma-Iowa State on Saturday.
"And we could have probably gone to a couple more to check on teams," Fox said.

The bowl matches the second-choice team from the Big 12 against the first-choice team from the Pac-12, excluding teams that make BCS bowls.
That matchup would suffer if, as expected, the Pac-12 has two teams, Oregon and Stanford, in BCS bowls. USC is ineligible because of NCAA probation.
OU's loss to Baylor on Saturday night has likely cost the 8-2 Sooners a shot at a BCS bowl berth unless they upset Oklahoma State in the season finale.
OU potentially would be slotted to come to San Antonio if OSU goes to the BCS and second-place Kansas State accepts a Cotton Bowl berth.
The availability of the Sooners, who started the season No. 1 but have struggled with injuries in a late-season swoon, could be a bonanza for the bowl's television ratings because of OU's national appeal.
But the Alamo Bowl's selection also could be swayed by the availability of A&M, particularly if the Aggies beat Texas to finish at 7-5.
The Aggies have been box-office gold in San Antonio, attracting five consecutive crowds of at least 64,000 when playing at the Alamodome since 1999. And A&M's looming move to the Southeastern Conference limits the Alamo Bowl's opportunity to bring it back to San Antonio — at least for the foreseeable future.
"You certainly look at that," Fox said. "They might not have played as well as they might have liked this season, but they are closing fast. That is among the factors we are considering."

The Sooners have never played in an Alamo Bowl, but did attract a sellout crowd for the 2007 Big 12 title game in their only previous appearance in San Antonio. OU also has several local players of note including linebackers Travis Lewis and Tom Wort.
With Oregon and Stanford likely headed to BCS bowls, the Alamo Bowl should have its pick of Utah, UCLA and Arizona State from the Pac-12's Southern Division and California and Washington from the Northern Division.
UCLA can qualify for the Dec. 2 Pac-12 championship game with a victory Saturday against USC. The 6-5 Bruins have local star power with former San Antonio Gunslingers quarterback Rick Neuheisel as coach.
Arizona State (6-5) has stumbled down the stretch with three straight losses. But the most intriguing team could be 7-4 Utah, which has won four straight games with backup quarterback Jon Hayes in charge.
"With USC on probation, that's what really scrambles things," Fox said. "And with the (Pac-12) championship game for the first time, that's another factor we'll have to consider. There still are a lot of moving parts we have to look at."
