JERUSALEM, Aug. 25 (JTA) — Last week's U.S. air strikes on Sudan and Afghanistan may have played a role in pushing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations forward. In the wake of those missile strikes, some Israeli observers were quick to predict possible American pressure on the Jewish state to reach an agreement with the Palestinians. These observers believed that Washington, certain to be criticized by militant Arab states for the attacks, would be anxious to shore up support among moderates in the Islamic and Arab world. The thinking regarding Washington's role in the peace process has undergone some rapid changes during the past week: Only days before the missile attacks, some pundits were saying that the sex scandal plaguing President Clinton would render him powerless to advance the long-deadlocked Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. But by early this week, there were indications that the talks were making meaningful progress. Indeed, the signs of progress prompted U.S. diplomatic sources to predict that a new agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority could be signed in Washington on the fifth anniversary of the historic ceremony on the White House lawn, where the Oslo accords were signed. Word of a Sept. 13 signing came amid indications that the two sides have softened their positions and are closer to reaching an agreement on a further Israeli West Bank redeployment, coupled with Palestinian steps to combat terror. Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat himself gave credence to the more upbeat speculation when he made a series of positive statements in Oslo, where he, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Norwegian officials were celebrating the fifth anniversary of the initialing of the Oslo accords in Norway's capital. Arafat called a series of Israeli concessions that he had indirectly received from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "good beginning." The Palestinian leader has repeatedly indicated that he would accept a 13 percent further Israeli redeployment in the West Bank. This is the basis of a plan, floated by the Clinton administration months ago, that also calls for specific Palestinian steps to combat terror. This week, for the first time, Israeli officials publicly confirmed that Netanyahu is ready for the 13 percent pullback, subject to certain conditions. And, while Netanyahu himself has remained deliberately silent on the matter, there are persistent reports that these conditions, too, have undergone a certain erosion. The Israeli leader is reportedly prepared, for example to waive his demand that the full Palestine National Council be convened to revoke the anti-Israel clauses in the Palestinian Covenant. According to these reports, the premier will accept a smaller — and, for Arafat, more manageable — Palestinian forum to approve the changes. Netanyahu is also said to have given ground regarding how much control the Palestinian Authority would have over a West Bank nature preserve that would comprise 3 percent of the further redeployment. Whether the new Israeli flexibility indeed flows from concern that Clinton, embarked on a what may become a long-term war against Islamic terror, needs to be tougher with Israel may be merely speculation. Officials close to the premier and to Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai have been insisting for some weeks, without reference to developments surrounding the White House, that despite the appearance of deadlock, the negotiations were moving in the direction of an agreement. Some of these officials are cautioning that an agreement is not yet at hand, indicating that the predictions of a Sept. 13 signing ceremony in Washington are somewhat optimistic. Whatever impact the U.S. air strikes had on Middle East peacemaking, there is a broad and somber realization in Israel that a long-term and bloody confrontation between American might and Islamic terrorism will almost inevitably spill over onto Israeli targets. Associates of Osama bin Laden — the Saudi millionaire living in Afghanistan whom American officials hold responsible for the recent embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania — have virtually said as much, promising to wreak retribution not only on American installations but on Israeli targets as well. Such threats are bound to inflict yet more damage to Israel's already- weakened tourism industry. But beyond this, the threats are causing Israelis a profound sense of unease. Already, parents are warning their children away from malls and public parks — and of course from buses, the targets of many past terrorist attacks. The U.S. air strikes are also having their effect on Palestinian public opinion. Few Palestinians expressed support for the carnage wrought by the U.S. Embassy bombings in East Africa. But many in the Palestinian community, as in the wider Arab world, have reacted with outrage at the American reprisals. Israeli experts believe that this reaction has already escalated violent confrontations in many parts of the West Bank between Palestinians and settlers, and between Palestinians and Israeli security forces. These confrontations grow daily more numerous and more intense — most notably last week, when a rabbi was killed in his home in Hebron by a suspected Palestinian intruder. Despite the reported progress in the negotiations, Netanyahu had harsh words for the Palestinian side when he visited Hebron on Tuesday, to pay an unannounced condolence call to the family of Rabbi Shlomo Ra'anan. The premier said any agreement with the Palestinian Authority depends on it taking action against "murderers" of Jews — an indication that he would be intent on convincing the Palestinian side to clamp down on terror under its part of the agreement. He also held firm to his commitment to build permanent homes in Tel Rumeida, the Hebron enclave where Ra'anan was killed and where a handful of settler families live in mobile homes. Some observers warn that extremists on both sides may well be planning to incite a conflagration in Hebron to destroy any progress being made in the diplomatic arena. They point out that the U.S.-proposed redeployment plan would be implemented in stages during a 12-week period — during which acts of violence in Hebron could bury the agreement before it is fully implemented. There is precedence for this, of course. The gunning down of 29 Palestinians by Jewish settler Baruch Goldstein in Hebron, shortly after the implementation of the Oslo accords began, and the bloody attacks against Israeli civilians by Hamas suicide bombers two years later nearly derailed the peace process. A titanic battle between mighty America and the shadowy Islamic terror organizations could provide an encouraging backdrop for this sort of calculated destructiveness in the weeks ahead.

Magnification question
I don't believe magnification is a term used to characterize lens.
nemist wrote:
Suppose we have an...
85 1.8g lens on a d800. The magnification is 1:8.
85 1.8g lens on a d7000 The magnification is also 1:8.
I believe you are referring to an 85mm f/1.8G lens and the f/1.8 does NOT designate the "magnification"; it is the ratio of the focal length over the aperture. An 85mm f/1.8 has an opening at the front of the lens (effectively) that is 85/1.8mm or 47mm. That is the maximum possible opening for light to enter that lens. The greater the opening, the greater the light allowed in. An 85mm f/1.4 lens would have a maximum opening of 85/1.4=61mm. The term magnification is irrelevant and probably is holding you back from an accurate understanding of optical concepts involved with photography.
I don't quite understand the relationship between focal length, DOF and magnification.
You probably won't learn the fundamentals here on this forum. At best, someone will give you a little insight or a different way of thinking about a concept. For DOF fundamentals try this web site:
I understand that we loose a f stop when shoot crop-frame (f1.4 turns into f2)
No this isn't true. The aperture of a given lens remains the same despite the size of the sensor behind it. The "f-stop" is a property of the lens by itself.
and that we multiple the focal length by 1.5 (85mm becomes 127.8mm), but why doesn't the magnification change?
This is true (equivalent focal length get multiplied by 1.5) but a somewhat limited understanding of the concept. The "magnification" DOES increase by 1.5 when we take a given lens off of a D800 and install it on a D7000. The field of view changes by that amount and a good explanation requires some good diagrams (which I can't provide here).
Because it's a ratio? If put the 85 1.8g on a cropped body, I get closer, and doesn't that allow me better magnification? Apparently it doesn't...
Yes, it does. Good luck in your search for answers Try this link below for help:

MACBETH Closes at Riverside Park 8/28
Pulse Ensemble Theatre's Harlem Summer Shakespeare production of "Macbeth," which was to be presented in Riverbank State Park's park's indoor theater facility August 12-28, has been shifted at the last moment to the park's Amphitheater on the same dates, making it possible to present the production under the stars. Despite budget cuts, the Park has managed to repair their elevator to the Amphitheater, allowing Pulse Theater Ensemble to use this unique and beautifully situated river-side venue for the production. The piece, directed by Alexa Kelly, is the culminating event of Pulse Ensemble Theatre's twentieth season. Its playing schedule will remain unchanged now that it has moved outdoors, with performances Wednesdays through Sundays at 7:30 PM.
The innovative adaptation sets the Scottish Tragedy in a conflict zone of the 21st century, in an occupied Islamic country not unlike Afghanistan, where Macbeth is a power hungry U.S. Army officer, Duncan is a warlord and the Witches are local war widows. The tension mounts until Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are brought down by their own greed, guilt and fear.
The company was performing the adaptation as a free, site-specific production in Governors Island (Nolan Park) on August 7-8 when it received the good news of the change of venue. There is just enough time now to adapt the production to the new venue, which actually was Pulse Ensemble's first choice for the play. (Who says you never get a break?)
"Macbeth" will be the sixth annual open-air production that Pulse Ensemble Theatre's Harlem Summer Shakespeare program has presented in Riverbank State Park. The play is free to the public on a first come, first served basis. It is a feature of Harlem Week (www.harlemweek.com).
The production updates the classic by transferring Shakespeare's tragedy from the "fog and filthy air" of Scotland to the murky realms of an occupied land, where "nothing is but what is not." The title character, an overambitious Army officer (suffering from PTSD), is brought down by guilt and paranoia. Lady Macbeth sings blues and inspires herself with R&B music. Banquo throws football with his son, Fleance. The witches are local war widows, possibly underground partisans, who seek revenge for their losses. Costuming will range from contemporary military fatigues to tribal costumes. There is a multi-ethnic, Equity cast of 16.
Pulse Theatre's Harlem Summer Shakespeare productions are known for updating the visual aspect of Shakespeare's plays while keeping the Bard's language intact. Previous Harlem Summer Shakespeares have been consistently acclaimed. "The goal is to excite and entertain a non-theatre going audience, and inspire them with the limitless possibilities of live theatre," writes director Alexa Kelly, who has directed all six. Her adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (2005) was inspired by West Indian Carnival and Calypso music. "Romeo and Juliet" (2006) was loosely based on the TV show "Law & Order." "The Tempest" (2007) was inspired by "Lost." "Twelfth Night" (2008) was inspired by image-conscious New Yorkers obsessed with their fitness rituals. In 2009, Pulse mounted a touring version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" set in the NY inner city, performing in Governors Island and in five Manhattan locations.
"Macbeth" has Alexa Kelly again in the director's chair. Set design is by Zhanna Gurvich (Assistant Designer, "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Taboo" and Broadway's "Gypsy" and "Cabaret"). Lighting design is by Steve O'Shea (Westport Playhouse, TADA, Teatro De La Opera). Costume design is by Kimberly Glennon (Classical Theatre of Harlem, 2003 Obie Award Winner, Howard Hughes Design nomination for Marat Sade). Sound design is by Louis Lopardi (Boston Pops, Boston Ballet). Fight Choreographer is Carrie Brewer Hilton.
Veteran Shakespeare actor BrIan Richardson, who plays Macbeth, hails from Trinidad, where he performed extensively with the Tent Theatre, and played the lead in many soap operas. Since his arrival in New York New York, he has performed roles such as Wong (in "The Good Woman of Setzuan"), Prospero ("The Tempest"), Puck ("A Midsummer Night's Dream") and Malvolio ("Twelfth Night"). He has worked with the Metropolitan Playhouse, Pulse Ensemble Theatre, Barter Theatre, Bristol Riverside Theatre and others. He has also been featured on the London Fringe Theatre scene. He tours nationally a one man show about the great Civil Rights Activist W.E.B. Du Bois.
Renee Flemings (not to be confused with the opera singer), who plays Lady Macbeth, is known from "Law and Order" and "One Life to Live." She has appeared in "For Colored Girls..." (as Lady in Green ) at the Paul Robeson Theatre, "Coyotes Calls" with PSNBC and with Blue Diamond Productions in NYC. She is also a Jazz and Blues singer and has performed in many well-known venues. Her one woman show, "...secrets..." has been presented at The Field, Women's InterNational Theatre Festival, National Black Theatre Festival, HERE, Philadelphia Fringe Festival and PSNBC.
Pulse Ensemble Theatre, founded in 1989 by Alexa Kelly, is dedicated to making the classics accessible and exciting to the youth of today; to multi-ethnic casting; to creating a nurturing environment for actors and to developing new audiences and providing outreach programs to the community. Based on Theatre Row for 13 years, Pulse presented outdoor Shakespeare in their courtyard. After losing its theater in 2002, Pulse began presenting free Summer Shakespeare in Harlem's Riverbank State Park. The company also runs a weekly Playwrights' Lab from which it develops a new play each year. With the support of the Indian American Arts Council, Pulse recently presented Anuvab Pal's critically acclaimed play, "Chaos Theory."
Director Alexa Kelly, was was raised and educated in London, where she was born to a Greek mother and a Scottish father. She studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama, London, for three years. She then visited the US, where she got an MFA at UNC and worked on a Ph. d. at Florida State University. She came to New York City after a period of teaching acting and directing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she worked with such students as Doug Sills, Tim Hopper and Gary Garrison. She co-founded Pulse Ensemble Theatre twenty years ago, in 1989, and has been its Artistic Director ever since. She has directed its productions of such classics as "Juno & The Paycock," "The Seagull," "Murder on the Nile," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as well as contemporary plays, including most recently, "Chaos Theory" by Anuvab Pal. She is founding director of Pulse Ensemble's Harlem Summer Shakespeare outreach series, which is now in its sixth season of presenting free Shakespeare in NYC parks. Over 20,000 people have attended the company's productions in Harlem and on Governors Island.
She has worked regionally as a host for PBS-TV and as an actor, director and teacher at the ALLIANCE THEATRE, Walnut Street Theatre, Attic Theatre, Academy Theatre, Little Five Points and others. She was Literary Manager for the Walnut Street Theatre for two years and ran a drama program at FCI in Tallahassee for three years. She has taught and directed at UNC, FSU, and U of M, and Adelphi University.
The actors are Jeff Burchfield (as Duncan), Paul Pontrelli (as Malcolm), Akeem Folkes (as Donaldbain), BrIan Richardson (as Macbeth), Renee Flemings (as Lady Macbeth), Aam Jonas Segaller (as Banquo), Danny Makali'I Mittermeyer (as Macduff), Shawn Williams (as Lennox), Mathew J, Harris (as Ross), Mia Anderson (as Angus); Wendy Snow, Erica Chambers and Regina Gibson (as The Witches), Gregory Wool (as Fleance), Kara Addington (as Mentieth) and Leigh Ellen Caudill (as Lady Macduff).
This project is sponsored in part by New York State Council on the Arts, Con Edison, Councilman Robert Jackson and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and Riverbank State Park.

They weren't the only one's I don't think any one had checked in yet there was literally a whole plane full of people waiting to check in! WHY DO PEOPLE LEAVE IT SO LATE!!! Finally after checking in, through security and got picked up Elsie's milk we were sat in Dexter's. I had been emailing the manager after reading on their website for £70 we could book a birthday booth which included a bottle of champagne and cake Dave and I love cake and I quiet enjoy a glass of champagne or two but didn't think it wise just before a flight. So I asked if they could do anything else I was told a few balloons and banners would be up for us! I loved what they did, the manager come over to check everything was ok and offered us a cake we didnt accept it but he came back with a muffin for Elsie. We had a lovely meal Me - 2 (double) malibu and cokes! It had been a hard day LOL and cajun salmon with mashed sweet potato VERY GOOD! Dave - 2 ciders, steak and chips Elsie - juice, mac'n'cheese Our flight was already being called so we paid thanked them for everything they had done and were on our way to the gate! Love being able to go to the front of the queue! I shouldn't of worried about Elsie flying does she look worried? Flight was over with in 50 minutes, breezed through security and bags were first off! What a great start! John (EZYshuttle) was already waiting for us even though we were 20 minutes early! With in no time we were pulling in to Disney! So I booked hotel New York with out telling Dave he thought we were just staying in Sequoia Lodge. He thought John was dropping us there and we would walk the rest! No silly! Checked in and in the room we had a little present (a mug and sweets) and bottle of vittel waiting for us was nice touch! We also had a letter from the Hotel manager asking if I wanted anything to just ring! I never rang I don't know how he would respond if I asked for a Princess in hotel room breakfast lol!

THE COMMUNITY spirit generated in the midst of the flooding crisis has been highlighted by those involved in the emergency operation.
Insp Andy Everitt, of Ryedale Police, said the way the public, businesses, emergency services and the Salvation Army had worked together was "fantastic".
"The crisis brought out the very best in our community – it was marvellous to see everyone working for each other," he said.
Insp Everitt said that the cooperation between various agencies had been "excellent".
Norton mayor Coun Di Keal said she wanted to thank all those who had played their part in helping the towns during last week's floods.
"The police, the fire service, the teams from Ryedale District Council and North Yorkshire County Council and the Environment Agency worked tirelessly and did everything possible to prevent a crisis from turning into a much more serious event and those of us who were at risk are immensely grateful to our 'local heroes' for this," she said.
"The team work that was displayed was the best. The long shifts in sometimes pouring rain and freezing temperatures are a tribute to everyone's ability to work together and help a community facing a crisis and our sincere thanks must go to them all."
Coun Keal also thanked members of the Salvation Army, other local churches and Next Steps in Church Street who ran a round-the-clock emergency café providing hot drinks and food to the emergency services throughout the crisis.
"They were absolutely magnificent giving so freely of their time and energy to keep them fed and watered under such challenging circumstances. Thanks must also go to local supermarkets and other shops and the students and families from Malton School for their generous donations of supplies to keep the café serving," she said.
"I would like to thank the community for similarly helping their friends and neighbours to cope. The small acts of generosity and kindness I have seen over the last week just go to show how much this community can pull together when there is a real need."
Major Alwyn Hockley, from the Salvation Army based in Norton, said they had brought in their emergency vehicle last Tuesday to serve tea and coffee to the emergency workers.
"Mike Dixon, from Next Steps, then offered us the premises and we started working round the clock with help with a team of volunteers," she said.
"Everyone has been so appreciative. A lot agencies are working near here and they have been standing in the freezing cold so they are really grateful."
Maj Hockley said people had been amazing with offers of help and donations of funds and food.
"Everyone has been so kind. We haven't had much sleep but the thanks we have had from everyone has kept everyone going," she said.

My first gameboy was the original one. Gray, boxy, bulky... It is the best gear to have! I played Battletoads for the longest time, frustrated each time I died due to not being able to save and having to start all over. Tetris was a classic.. I played that all the time. I took this thing every where we me as most people did. On the airplane when I would travel, all the kids with gameboys seemed find each other and play near the back of the airplane where we wouldn't be disturbed. I still have this gameboy today, and YES! IT STILL WORKS! (unlike my original nintendo whose video is broken.)

In an interview with ABC News' Jake Tapper in Iowa Thursday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich confidently proclaimed "I'm going to be the nominee."
So what's standing between Newt and the brass ring?
1) Iowa debates: These debates have been the single greatest reason for Newt's rise, in large part because he's been able to remain above the fray. It's hard to believe he'll be able to remain out of the line of fire at the December 10 ABC debate in Des Moines. How he reacts–both in tone and substance–will be critical to his chances to remain on top.
2) His past: While his rivals snipe about his Washington ties and question his commitment to conservative orthodoxy, none have directly challenged him in paid advertising. Yet. Meanwhile, as our ABC team in Iowa witnessed yesterday, there is an active underground effort to discredit the former House speaker. Found tucked on windshields of every car parked at two events Gingrich attended yesterday were anonymous fliers that attacked his record on issues ranging from his support for Medicare Part D to his lucrative contract with Freddie Mac.
3) Organization: Even Gingrich admits that he's not where he needs to be in terms of campaign organization in Iowa. One smart GOP insider in the state tells us that while Gingrich has gotten an enthusiastic response from Iowa GOPers this week, he's yet to prove that he can turn out these voters on his own.
4) Self-Discipline: When Newt is on, he's good. But, when he gets off-message he often digs himself into bigger problems. Can he keep himself and his message focused as the pressure of being a frontrunner intensifies?

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
The Woodlands, TX, United States, 2010/06/24 - The National Algae Association is starting a new algae production incubator to help lower the cost and risks as scale-up build-outs begin in the algae production industry.
It will be the first commercial-scale algae production incubator in the US, allowing algaepreneurs to scale-up on acreage, and universities to move their technologies into the market.
Algaepreneurs, colleges and universities interested in scaling-up commercial-scale technologies (i.e., growing, harvesting and extraction methods and processes) will have the opportunity to join the new algae production incubator. Acreage, water, research services, lab space, benchmarking and management services will be made available to assist in lowering start-up costs and risk of commercial scale-up issues. Clusters of algae producers will share equipment and research services. The NAA also aims to serve algae production start-ups with services linked to investors, lenders, lawyers, accountants and other professionals. An advisory board of business leaders and algae researchers determines admission into the program.
The Algae Incubator Process:
Step 1: Submission of Incubator start-up company Preliminary Review Questionaire, accompanied by a complete business plan and financial projections to the National Algae Association for review.
Step 2: Review of information to determine a suitable match of acreage and services for the algaepreneur. This step includes entry of data into the incubator data base.
Step 3: Once a potential match has been found, your data will be forwarded to the host company (land owner) for review to determine how much acreage and water will be needed. If the host company expresses an interest in your company, you will be contacted to set up an appointment and begin negotiations.
Step 4: If negotiations between algaepreneurs and the host company are successful, the appropriate documentation is signed, and the new algae start-up incubator company is hatched!

Heavy Equipment Repair Questions? Ask an Expert Now.
Hi and welcome to JA. When you mean that the destroke is not working do you mean the pump is staying at full pressure or no pressure. Also does the steering work good? And the brakes? And by the low side of the remote do you mean the rear remotes?
Yes I do understand JD hydraulic systems. What is happening is you have a high pressure leak. And the reason you are cavitating is you are loosing your return flow. The easiest way to find a leak is let the tractor set over night the start it up and don't use any functions and let it run for about 15 minutes. then start feeling for a warm spot in the hydraulic system. If one hydraulic valve is warmer than the other then that would be your leak. Also does the 3 point settle fairly fast with the engine shut off?
I would suggest that you check for a heating valve next then.

|If you are not qualified to buy a house because you have too much debt there are only 2 solutions to the problem. One is to make more money in your job or too reduce your debt. Of course it is not likely that you are going to get an immediate raise or promotion with more money tomorrow.
But you can take charge and start paying down your debt. Have a high credit card payments start reducing the ones that will make the most difference. The key in debt rations is the total amount of monthly payments. If you have a credit card payment of $250, try to get it down to $150.
Only have a few car payments left. Pay it off early and DO NOT buy another car until AFTER you close on your house. Ask your loan officer where you need to be to get a home. What is the amount of monthly debt you need to buy the home you want?
Then take the positive steps to reduce your debt load. You will be glad you did!

I had a full mastopexy w/ aug in Nov 2011. My PS chose an allergen style 15 213cc implant. I am unhappy w/ the amt of lift I have and the lack of upper pole fullness, and that my left implant ridge is visible. My PS is doing a revision w/ a bilateral lateral capsulorrhaphy & reopen my vertical excisions to excise more skin underneath. My PS stated I will never have the upper pole fullness I desire, but may get more w/ style 20 280cc. I'm wondering if a style 45 320cc will give more fullness.
Breast Lift Revision Advice for More Lift and Fullness After Full Mastopexy?
Doctor Answers 3
Augmentation with Ultimate Lift
Unfortunately, you do not give the full description of your mastopexy but you do describe a vertical incision. This could either be a lollipop or a Wise pattern, which are techniques I NEVER use. The vertical scars are unsightly and the weight of the breast stretches the scars. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. I recommend a circumareola approach through which you can have your capsular repaired. The implant can be more centralized and elevated, give you more upper pole fullness, the breast tissue can be elevated and the nipples lifted. This can all be done through an incision around the nipple. This is called Breast Augmentation with Ultimate Lift. Simply going to a larger implant will not solve your problems.
Best of Luck,

More Fullness after Breast Lifting?
Thank you for the question.
There are many different ways that your situation may be improved upon. This may involve revision of the breast lift, use of capsulorraphy, use of different size/profile breast implant… In person consultation (direct examination) and a full communication of your goals will be necessary to give you precise advice. If in doubt, a second opinion may be helpful. Make sure you are consulting with well experienced plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the results you're looking for.
Best wishes.

Desire more fullness after Lift with Implants?
Difficult question to answer, but I would tell you that it seems like the larger implant would give you the results that you are seeking. I would discuss this with your surgeon before any revision, and be clear about the size breasts that you wan, I find the majority of post-op size/fullness issues are related to poor communication with your surgeon about your expectations.

There wasn't as much drama to this Clippers win over the Jazz, but even more significance came with it. L.A., you see, hasn't lost in a pure month after beating Utah, 107-96. In their 17-game win streak, 16 of them came in December. It's only the third 16-0 month in NBA history, after the '72 Lakers and '96 Spurs, though the '96 Bulls went 14-0 in January during their 72-10 season. Unlike Friday's dramatic win in SLC, the Clippers didn't have to rally from 19 points down. It was just a steady diet of Caron Butler (29 points and a perfect 6-6 from three), Jamal Crawford's big buckets off the bench (especially to start the fourth quarter) with a layup and a triple in a row, and at least one show-stopper play: Chris Paul's rainbow fast-break assist in the first quarter, underhanded with just his right paw to DeAndre Jordan . Even though Jordan hasn't broken out of his one-trick dunk pony (he's getting 9.1 points and seven rebounds per game in just 24 minutes over the last 17 games) reputation much during this streak, his oops have been filthy. CP3 had 19 points, nine dimes and five steals. No team can keep this up for a season, so the questions now become, when the Clips lose this momentum (and they will), how long will it take to reclaim and can they time it to arrive in the playoffs? … The Celtics know that even though DeMarcus Cousins and his coach, Keith Smart, are clashing regularly, the offense still flows through the Kings' young center. Also understanding he's one of the few players who can get his shot on that roster, they doubled him — which turned out to really show how talented Cousins can be. His first triple-double came on 12 points, 10 boards and 10 dimes, though a good number of those assists came when he'd get the ball at the elbow and charge to the rim before getting kick-out assists in the 118-96 win. Taken from a Celtics perspective, this is a bad loss. Sacramento didn't even have Tyreke or Aaron Brooks, and Marcus Thornton, practically the rudder on this team lately, didn't return after hurting his ankle in the first half. (Isaiah Thomas took advantage for 27 points) It's the third straight loss for the C's. Rajon Rondo had 10 assists but just two points. He barely even shot, going 1-for-6 from the field, and got to the free-throw line a whopping zero times. Boston's starting five: six FTA. Sacramento's starting five: 20 FTA. … Troubling news for the career of Royce White. The Rockets' rookie refused his assignment to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, still adamant only he should choose his attending doctor. He called out the Rockets' front office in a 500-word statement where he called their decisionmaking "unsafe." Yikes. … … Hit the jump to read about the all kinds of trouble Dallas is in. …

The worst paarrt of Royce White's refusal to play is using THIS in his 'statement':
" You would think that decision makers who are not well informed about mental health, would take the consultation and recommendation of those who are. You would think we would start to do everything possible to not let the tragic consequences befall us first, before we ask the logical question, "why?", "who knew?" "how could we have helped?. "
What= Is he going to shoot up an NBA arrena if things go his way?!?! Fuck him.

Digestive Disorders
Post Gallbladder Removal Problems
I had my gall bladder removed April 3rd 09`. I have have endured more pain and problems after i had my gall bladder removed than before. I follow an extremely low fat diet and i exercise on a regular basis but it still persists. Normally I will be constipated for several days even weeks and thats with fiber everyday. Then I will have these severe attacks that cause stabbing like pain and severe cramping in my abdomen and pain in my testicles and kidneys that generally last about three hours and is followed by diareah that can last for days. On occasion i have have blooding diarehha and bloody vomit due to the extreme pain and nausea i have in a attack. Originally my gastroentroligist told me that i had experienced nerve damage in my stomach and intestines and told me to take 6 advil a day for 2 months and it would clear up. But It didn`t. Its been eight months. I`m still in pain. I`ve seen three different gastroentrologists a natural path doctor and at least twelve other doctors and specialists for internal medicine and im seeing two more next week. Ive had two colonoscopies, two edoscopies and a multitued of blood and stool tests. They`ve ruled out "IBS, Chrons, Hereditary angio dema, stomach cancer, and other cancers of the gut, etc". I don`t no what to do anymore I`m fed up. I`ve told every doctor that i think it is my apendix but know one listens. Any ideas? Anything would be helpful!
Your problems could be from many different things and it is too difficult to try to diagnose based on your email. Possbile causes would include pancreatitis, irritable bowel disease, Chron's and Ulcerative Colitis. Many of these have been ruled out based on your email, however, having a specialist look at all of the information again sometimes makes a difference. Based on how complicated your history is, I would advise for you to see a GI doctor at an academic University setting. They may be able to put all of the information together.
