Who cares what this violent adulterer says/thinks?
Court Vision: Kobe Bryant would have 'smacked the hell' out of Mike Rice
• Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said in an interview with Jim Rome on Showtime that he would have met violence from former Rutgers coach Mike Rice with violence of his own. "I would have smacked the hell out of him," Bryant said. "No question about it. No question about it. That probably wouldn't have been the best way to react to it, but that's how I would have reacted to it."
• From last week: The NBA responds to Rice's mistreatment of his team during practice.
• Jason Friedman of Rockets.com is celebrating Houston's first postseason berth since 2009 and marveling at the team's youth.
It's just not supposed to work this way.
NBA history is littered with the carcasses of uber young teams who take their lumps while being served tough-love lessons on the importance of chemistry and experience. Maturity matters. So, too, does the significant amount of time it typically takes for a team to congeal and coalesce in a way that makes it playoff caliber.
What, then, are we to make of this year's Houston Rockets, a club undeniably overflowing with young talent but one possessing precious little in the way of playing experience after reshuffling the deck last summer, undergoing a sea change mere days before the season started and then yet another prior to the trade deadline?
• Kevin Pelton's projections strongly favor the Nuggets in the race for the Western Conference's No. 3 seed. Denver held a half-game lead over Memphis entering Wednesday.
• Tom Ziller of SB Nation examines the relationship between assists and shooting percentage, concluding that many of the league's most efficient offenses don't exactly pile up the dimes.
But the Heat are easily No. 1 in shooting … and in the bottom half in assist percentage. The Thunder are No. 3 in shooting … and No. 27 in assist percentage. The Knicks by far get the lowest percentage of field goals via assist, yet land in the top ten in shooting percentage. There are explanations in these cases. Miami, Oklahoma City and New York each have superlative individual scorers, and two of them (the Heat and Knicks) have one of their weaker starters at point guard. But it doesn't change the data: low assist rates simply don't matter for these teams.
On the other side of the map, the Nos. 2 and 4 teams in assist percentage (the Bulls and Timberwolves) are Nos. 29 and 28 in shooting, respectively.
• Video: Fan takes basketball to the face.
• Indiana's Cody Zeller has declared for the draft. SI.com's Andy Glockner offers some thoughts.
Where Zeller was incredibly successful was in using his ability to run to score in transition, and that should translate to the next level. If you followed @LukeWinn's Power Rankings all season, his "GaZeller Watch" showed how dominant Zeller was on runouts. According to Synergy, he converted 39 of his 49 field goal attempts in transition this season, and as Luke showed almost weekly, he was, by far, the most prolific big man in the country in terms of points generated in transition. Zeller can really move for a big, and in a league where hustle and effort can be variable over 82 long games, that's a big plus.
• Royce Young of CBSSports.com previews the Spurs' road to the Finals, which likely runs through Oklahoma City.
But assuming good health, the Spurs seem to be headed on a crash course rematch with the Thunder in the Western Finals. It's been five years since the Spurs played for an NBA title. Will things finally change this time around?
Here's the thing with their matchup with OKC though: The Thunder's best is better than the Spurs best, Harden or not. When both teams meet their standard of performance, OKC's just a superior team. The catch to that is that the Spurs are much more consistent with their play and have a wider margin for error. The Spurs can often win when they play poorly. The Thunder, not as much.
• The Point Forward brought you Metta World Peace's repeating "I'm too sexy for my cat" over and over. Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones has some fun with it.
• The NBA made Iman Shumpert shave an Adidas logo out of his hair. Henry Abbott contemplates what that means.
I don't doubt the NBA is technically correct here. It's simple to believe the league really did negotiate for those rights, and doubtless the union really did hand them over. In a sense, Shumpert and every NBA player had long been paid not just to play basketball but also to adhere to rules like these, which help the NBA and its players make more money in exclusive league-wide sponsorships. There's method to all this. (And doubtless without such rules, any number of players would be a sideshow of NASCAR-style sponsorships. A few years ago Rasheed Wallace was talking about selling a tattoo to corporate interests.)
But even with all those realities as they are … let me just put it this way: I'm really glad I wasn't the poor sucker who had to tell Shumpert his hair was in violation. It is hard to imagine something more creepy and Big Brotherish.
• The Sacramento Bee reports that the current owners of the Kings, the Maloof family, issued a deadline to Sacramento-area investors interested in bidding for the team. That sounds important, but the general response seems to be: "Do they even have the power to do that?" The NBA recently brokered meetings in New York between the Kings, the Sacramento group and a Seattle group intent on moving the team, which made no mention of Maloof-imposed deadlines and which implied that the league's Board of Governors, and not the Maloofs, will ultimately drive the discussion of the franchise's future.
The Maloof family has given the Sacramento investors seeking to buy the Kings until 5 p.m. Friday to submit a written, binding "back-up" offer that matches the deal the family has in place to sell the franchise to a group in Seattle, a source close to the deal told The Bee today.
The source told the Bee that if the Maloofs receive a matching offer by Friday, they will consider it as a serious back-up proposal should the NBA nullify their tentative deal with Seattle. If the offer doesn't arrive, or doesn't match the Seattle bid, the Maloofs have said any talks are off with the Sacramento group. The source declined further comment about who issued the ultimatum, when, or why.
• Joe Swide of Portland Roundball Society calls Blazers fans to arms for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
The relationship between the two teams is less of a rivalry and more that of a fiercely defiant territory refusing to surrender to an oppressive empire. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Lakers sent the monstrous Shaquille O'Neal with his sheer brutality masquerading as a post game to bludgeon [Arvydas] Sabonis, Brian Grant, and the rest of our noble frontcourt into submission. The Blazers responded with the invention of "Hack-a-Shaq" in an ill-fated attempt to stave off destruction. After the repressed memory of the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Kobe, Shaq, and Rick Fox's campaign of total war set Portland down a path that nearly led to its complete basketball ruin. It required the ascension of Brandon Roy to resurrect the city from the very literal ghost of Darius Miles, the battle of red seats versus black seats, and reel off nine straight victories in Portland over the Lakers from 2005-2010. The Rose Garden haunted the Angelinos like the Russian winter haunted so many would-be conquerors.
• Timberwolves guard Brandon Roy: still clinging to his hopes of returning.
Kobe's been on top too long. These guys are trying to get to where he is. I wouldnt smacked the hell out of no one.
He loves beating and raping women.
the rapist speaks
Ben Golliver, you used "uber" in an article. Kill yourself. I'd smack the hell out of you.
Kobe's going to need a brake repair when he tries to smack Ibaka in oklahoma.! hahaha. Just cut the talk and walk it Kobe.
These guys are in college and don't want to put their scholarship at risk by hitting the coach.
Kobe is as fake a tough guy as KG. He only tries to punk much smaller guys like Rondo, which all the Laker girls go nuts for.
Kobe please. This is the same guy who got smacked up by Chris Childs. Chris Childs for god sake!! I don't know why Kobe always trying to act gangster. He sure talks a big game from "smacking" Ibaka to Rice. But all I've seen from him is backing down to Chris Childs and Raja Bell.
@brian c1 LOL please kobe got cheap shotted and as soon as he started hitting back he got held back, kobe takes boxing he would of KO'd him with the same cheap shots if it was vice versa, ask yourself KOBE HATER where is chris childs now? OH ILL TELL YOU!!! hes overweight and broke.
Conspiracy- the father of Mike Rice is Mike Rice SR. who calls games for the Portland Trailblazers. Kobe's attitude toward the Rice family is tumultuous at best because his team is 4-18 vs Portland on the road.
Drunk with power can happen to people from professors, politicians, lawyers, judges, a customer in a store, a customer in a restaurant and get drunk with power, or a person in their car road raging. Its the sinful human condition within us all and some of us depending on our upbringing and sometimes despite a good upbringing will abuse our power over others. This man CLEARLY had that issue. He has no business being in a position of authority over anyone under the age of 30 and even then they should not be handicapped or have a past of abuse that makes them subservient. His behavior went unchecked for a long time and like any bully, they get worse until they are put in their place.
I'm with Kobe. These kids are better shape than that old p.o.s. I would've broken his nose if he tried that with me.
Please. Kobe only has the guts to slap around women before he rapes them.
@SukeMadiq so he did slap the hell out of you and... you know what i mean.
Now but your dad took Kobe willingly
Rutgers has wasted a lot of money on athletics. Paying this moron Rice, paying the AD 1.2 million to leave, building a big new football stadium and they tank. Spend the money on education, not a bunch of "student-athletes", most of whom do not graduate.
Okay! This story is getting really old. Enough with what I would have did to Rice soap opera. He's gone but as long as people continue writing stories and talking about the guy he stays in the spotlight. Stop talking about him people and he will fly off into the sunset
Kobe talks a big game but he's one of the biggest fake tough guys in the league this side of Kevin Garnett. Raja Bell knocked the Kobester around while intimidating the hell out of him and even the male model from the Heat -Dwayne Wade the Punk- scarred Kobe to death. The only guy Kobe can beat up is probably that pretender Dwight Howard.
@Mark St. cyr Why don't you tell "the Kobester" that to his face. LOL!
@Mark20 @Mark St. cyr grow up, groupie!

Wladimir Klitschko Sucks has volunteered to cover tonight's card. As always we can expect WKS to be COMPLETELY unbiased when it comes to the Klits (g).
I wish Dawson was fighting somebody besides Tarver because if I never see Tarver again it will be too soon. Klit-Peter does hold some intrigue. Can Klit comeback after such a long layoff & overcoming his various injuries? Is he going to be the warrior Klit we saw against Lewis? Or the Klit we've seen every other time he's fought?
Per usual please keep all discussion of this card to this thread. Redundant threads will be deleted.

Undertakers might disagree, but there are many forms of death.
There's the one so dominant today as I write this – the bodily death of Michael Jackson and the celebrity outpouring for "The King of Pop" as his golden casket sits onstage in a shaft of artificial light in L.A. The cause of Michael's demise at age 50 is still up for discussion. But the comparisons with another king, Elvis Presley, have been inevitable: massive talent leading to even bigger fame, seclusion, dissolution, bizarreness, and an early end.
Mourners mostly refused to go there, though, preferring to focus on the musical legacy. "Michael will never die," one woman told NPR. And one could be forgiven the déjà vu of Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker, who said on hearing the news of Elvis's death: "Good career move."
So, there is the death that delivers immortality. There are other, more mundane (and we hope) more temporary varieties. Like the death of our 3rd District Congressman John Salazar's sanity. Democrat Salazar voted against the House energy bill, citing potential hardships on Colorado's oil and gas industry. Say what?! This bill is a necessary first step toward weaning America off fossil fuels, which Salazar admits are warming the planet and must in the end be supplanted by renewable energy sources.
Besides, the drillers aren't going anywhere. Drilling is up I just read in Garfield County, despite the economic downturn. Money is being made, big money. Rigs are everywhere, smelling of petro-death. So let's hope Mr. Salazar's mind is restored to him soon and without permanent brain damage.
Was it brain death or journalistic cowardice that afflicted NPR's Neal Conan last week? The "Talk of the Nation" host spent 20 minutes with NPR Ombudsman Sheila Shepard defending their institution's refusal to call torture "torture." It may not have been a fatal blow to Conan's credibility, but it came close.
He and other NPR news readers scrupulously refer to waterboarding, for example, as "interrogation techniques some consider to be torture." Say what?! The whole world knows what waterboarding is. We know that the previous administration tortured detainees, invented justifications and euphemisms to cover its actions, and that it succeeded in creating a false debate on the issue.
And NPR, along with most of the mainstream media, fell right into the trap. To their credit, Conan and Shepard attempted to address the controversy but succeeded only in deepening their semantic hole. They kept saying that when "there are two sides to a debate" the media's job is to give voice to both sides, and not take sides. Say what?! What about the facts? What about the media's responsibility to point out the patently incredible?
Salon's Glenn Greenwald reprinted a bit of satire on this exact topic from Jon Stewart and Daily Show "reporter" Rob Corddry. This was back in 2004, when John Kerry's military record was being "Swiftboated."
Stewart: Here's what puzzles me most, Rob. John Kerry's record in Vietnam is pretty much right there in the official records… and hasn't been disputed for 35 years.
Corddry: That's right, Jon. And that's certainly the spin you'll be hearing coming from the Kerry campaign over the next few days.
Stewart: That's not a spin thing, that's a fact. That's established.
Corddry: Exactly, Jon. And that established, incontrovertible fact is one side of the story.
Stewart: But isn't that the end of the story? I mean, you've seen the records, haven't you? What's your opinion?
Corddry: I'm sorry, "my opinion"? I don't have opinions. I'm a reporter, Jon. And my job is to spend half the time repeating what one side ways, and half the time repeating the other. Little thing called "objectivity"? Might want to look it up some day.
Stewart: Doesn't objectivity mean objectively weighing the evidence, and calling out what's credible and what isn't?
Corddry: Whoa-ho! Sounds like someone wants the media to act as a filter! Listen, buddy: Not my job to stand between the people talking to me and the people listening to me.
So, I'm hoping NPR will do something soon to convince me that their "death of conscience" has been somehow exaggerated.
Here's hoping the pundits are correct and that Sarah Palin's political future is dead. Her bizarre resignation as governor of Alaska should finally do the trick. Then again, we had Richard Nixon saying in 1962, "You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around any more."

Top 10 Arizona Marijuana News Stories of 2013
2.) Arizona Medical Marijuana Lawsuit Filed by ACLU to Help Boy Receive Plant Extracts
|Chitral Hays
|Chitral Hays
John Kavanaugh (district 8) is against medical marijuana. He plans to propose a new bill to repeal the medical marijuana law. If you are a registered voter in district 8, please bombard his email, office, voice mail demanding that he drop his personal efforts to repeal a law that has been passed by the majority of voters in Arizona as a whole, has been signed into law by the Governor and is actually generating substantial revenue for the state. Unless he can produce the same (or more) income for the state then his efforts to repeal are not in the best interest of the state and in fact, he is working against the state which is harming the state in the long run. There is power in numbers, more power than all the money these politicians have to buy their seats. WE NEED TO BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME. VOTE, COMPLAIN, BE HEARD, BE A PEST! Write letters to the editor, document your disproval. These idiots are your representatives (like it or not), so make them represent your desires! If they don't then there is reason for recall, but you have to speak up! Don't wait for someone else. I'm just a little guy but I'm trying. I need your help.
Why does Jan Brewer hate Democracy so much? We voted, it passed, end of story!
@tjrap555 Yee, Kavanagh, Polk, and Montgomery are all intolerant and rabid prohibitionists. Yee is the head of the Arizona senate education committee. She does not support public education, instead she supports charter schools that profit from us. This marijuana prohibition in Arizona does not emanate from a desire to keep people in Arizona safe. It's about profits, the citizens be damned. Yee, Kavanagh, Polk, and Montgomery all want to insure that private prisons are filled with Arizona marijuana users. In Arizona, right now, more people die from prescription drug overdoses than from traffic accidents. Rather than to attack problems that kill people in Arizona, this group continues to attack Arizonans, including children, with life threatening diseases that are treated by medical marijuana. These disingenuous people use our own tax dollars to try to overturn voter passed initiatives and they spend taxpayer money losing frivolous cases that could have been settled by reading the law and getting out a dictionary to learn the meaning of the words there. They would rather imprison Arizonans than support our public schools. Our public schools already have the lowest per pupil expenditures in the entire nation. Kavanagh recently tried to have the state give close to a million dollars to the private prisons that was not even asked for. This is how the people in Arizona are empowered. Are these actions meant to help Arizonans or to enrich a few well positioned legislators? Marijuana has never killed by overdose, not here or anywhere in mankind's association with this plant that goes back to the stone age.

The earrings a beautiful. The silver is high quality and the blue topaz drops are beautiful. They are now my favorite earrings. Very light weight and go with everything.
Simply stated with a very soft touch of color and style. Absolutely love these.
Today is my first day wearing them, very impressed. Very unique, absolutely love them.
These earrings are just beautiful. Very elegant that can be worn with jeans or to dress up an outfit. They are just long enough to dangle nicely and are very light on the ear. Would highly recommend them.
I got these for my wife for Christmas and she loves them. She had never worn Dropped Earrings before and she is sold on them know.
These earrings are outstanding. They are sophisticated, expensive looking earrings, that would appeal to any age group of women. Do yourself or your lady a huge favor, and add them to the collection.

And Another Thing
The World According to Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson - Author
The outspoken and outrageous presenter of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, shares his opinions on just about everything in And Another Thing… – a hilarious collection of Jeremy's Sunday Times' columns and the second in his The World According to Clarkson series which also includes The World According to Clarkson, For Crying Out Loud! and How Hard Can It Be?
Jeremy Clarkson finds the world such a perplexing place that he wrote a bestselling book about it. Yet, despite the appearance of The World According to Clarkson, things – amazingly – haven't improved. Not being someone to give up easily, however, he's decided to have another go.
In And Another Thing… the king of the exasperated quip discovers that:
• Bombing North Carolina is bad for Yorkshire
• We can look forward to exploding at the age of 62
• Russians look bad in Speedos. But not as bad as we do
• Wasps are the highest form of life
Thigh-slappingly funny and in your face, Jeremy Clarkson bursts the pointless little bubbles of the idiots while celebrating the special, the unique and the sheer bloody brilliant…
Number-one bestseller Jeremy Clarkson writes on cars, current affairs and anything else that annoys him in his sharp and funny collections. Born To Be Riled, Clarkson On Cars, Don't Stop Me Now, Driven To Distraction, Round the Bend, Motorworld, and I Know You Got Soul are also available as Penguin paperbacks; the Penguin App iClarkson: The Book of Cars can be downloaded on the App Store.
Read a collection of Clarkson book extracts and quotes from Jeremy Clarkson's latest titles.
Sorry, Hans, brassy Brits rule the beaches now
experience life at close quarters with people from other
nations. We thought the Germans were the most ridiculous
people on the beach.
As Monty Python pointed out years ago, they pinched
the sun beds and barged into the queues and frightened
the children. And if you weren't at the buffet spot-on
seven, Fritz had wolfed all the sausages.
But with the advent of the Boeing 747 came the longhaul
holiday and we realised that the Germans were
country mice compared with the Americans. No shorts
were too large, no thong was too small.
What's more, Hank does not like to sit on the beach
and read a book. He likes to shout and play volleyball.
When the Yanks are around, it's like being on holiday in
a primary school playground.
For years the Americans were in a class of their own,
but then the Berlin Wall fell down and, as a result, from
the Indian Ocean through the Middle East and the Mediterranean
to the Caribbean, Boris and Katya were making
all the running.
In many ways the Russians are like the Americans.
They're either far too fat or far too beautiful. There's no
middle ground. And again, like Uncle Sam, no part of
the body is immune from man-made enhancement. The
Americans go for surf-white teeth; the Russians for alarming
special forces tattoos. And neither seems to see anything
wrong with breast enlargement. I saw one Russian
woman on the beach in Barbados the other day who had
the body of a walnut and a chest that put Antigua in the
However, where the Russians move into an easy lead
is beach attire. For the men it's the traditional Speedo,
while the women seem to get their fashion pointers from
internet porn sites. I haven't yet seen anyone strutting
down the beach in stockings and suspenders but it's only
a matter of time.
Today, though, a new contender has come along and
blown the old favourites into the seaweed. The title of
Most Stupid People on the Beach has gone in 2004 . . .
to Britain.
We were designed to make Spitfires and Beagles. We're
supposed to be in a shed, in gloves, inventing stuff. We
therefore do not look good on a beach. We're piggy
white and if you expose us to the sun, we turn into
Battenburg cake.
We're designed for bracing walks along the front in
Scarborough and wet camping holidays in Scotland. But
our newly discovered wealth means we can now go to
the tropics. Because it's new money, we really have no
idea what to do with it.

The preliminary report released this week by Governor Cuomo's Moreland Commission focused primarily on rooting out corruption in Albany when it comes to campaign finance reform. But as Capital Tonight's Nick Reisman explains, there are many good government groups buzzing about what's not in the report.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The 101 page preliminary report from the Moreland Commission on Public Corruption is scathing in its assessment of ethics and campaign fundraising in the state Legislature. But no mention is made of Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has at least $28 million in the bank for his own re-election campaign.
"We don't know all the things that the Moreland Commission is looking at. This is only a preliminary report and if there are issues in the executive branch, then they should follow them up," said Blair Horner, NYPIRG Legislative Director.
The issue of the commission's independence was renewed this week after Onondaga County Executive and commission member Joanie Mahoney said in a Capital Tonight interview it would be a mockery if the commission were to probe Cuomo, or state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Commission co-chairman Bill Fitzpatrick said he disagreed with Mahoney's comment and insisted the panel remains free of Cuomo's influence.
"You know, just because they're not mentioned in the report, should not be construed to mean we didn't look at fundraising by the governor and the attorney general," said William Fitzpatrick, Moreland Commission co-chairman.
And in a radio interview Wednesday, Cuomo said the focus should be on the legislature because of the series of corruption cases over the last decade.
Cuomo said, "There has not been rampant corruption among DAs, or in the AGs office or in the comptroller's office or in the governor's office. This is in response to a situation in reality."
But Cuomo in July, as he was creating the Moreland Commission, noted the panel wasn't just about the legislature and had free reign to probe whatever it wanted.
"It's an independent commission that is free to investigate whatever they believe needs to be investigated on the merits. But it's not about the legislature, it's about enforcing the campaign finance laws in this state," Cuomo had said in July. NR CT

The NFL season has kicked off with one game, but many football leagues are drafting this weekend. Here is a 48-hour offer - Buy the Keeper League Fantasy Hockey Pack and the Fantasy Football Guide for $19.99 when you use the coupon code: PIGSKIN. So the Fantasy Hockey Prospects Report, Fantasy Hockey Guide/ Draft List, Fantasy Football Guide - less than 20 bucks. Get started here with the Football Guide.
The DobberHockey swag shop is finally back up and running. A couple of funny new designs can be found here.
My Canucks Army countdown continues – the #4 moment of 2011-12 for the Canucks was Cory Schneider's arrival as a legitimate starting goaltender.
"All in all, Schneider's performance last season as a pseudo back-up was incredibly impressive. He has developed about as well the Canucks could have hoped for when they picked him in the first round back in 2004 out of high school, and he looks like he is on the verge of emerging as one of the best goaltenders in the game."
My fantasy hockey mailbag is open for the next few days - ask your questions here.
A big congrats to the DobberHockey Hall of Fame class of 2012 - Troy "Zorro" Williams has been a valued member of the forums as long as I can remember. Ryan Ma is one of the best hockey columnists on the net. Period. He has a fantastic ability to balance stats and intangibles. Pete Belanger is a huge reason why DobberHockey is as successful as you see it today, and Peter Hadley has absolutely dominated his way through the DobberHockey hockey pools in recent years.
My latest lockout beneficiary – the Edmonton Oilers. Here are my reasons as to why:
"There have been some positives this summer, outside of the draft. Not re-signing Cam Barker is a classic example of addition by subtraction, and apparently Ryan Whitney is fully healthy, too. Devan Dubnyk is going to start most of the games, and he has earned the chance with solid play behind a pretty poor defensive group. Hall's shoulder rehab is also right on track.
The one player who will benefit the most from a lockout isn't Dubnyk, however, and it isn't any of the young forwards, either. Schultz is coming in to the NHL with a lot of pressure and expectations. Players around the league likely took note of how he handled the situation in Anaheim, and fans did too. He was within his rights to choose where he wanted to play, but it isn't an avenue often pursued by rookies. With a lockout, Schultz would be able to get his feet wet professionally at the AHL level down in Oklahoma City first."
Zack Smith has signed a four-year extension with Ottawa. Average cap hit of $1.88 million. Smith is a very solid player and carries some value in PIM fantasy leagues.
I really enjoyed this read on Rask from Justin Goldman - back from late August. Well worth the read. "Tuukka Rask and the Benefit of Injuries."
"I think a highly athletic goaltender like Rask, one who is akin to relying more on his reflexes and flexibility, will actually develop better overall balance to his game because a groin injury will help him slow things down.
Like many naturally gifted reflex-based goalies, Rask has a tendency to over-amplify his movements. In some instances, he ends up in less-than-perfect positioning on rebound chances, or in scramble situations."
The Roberto Luongo situation:
Luongo wants to go to Florida. Florida wants him. However, Florida isn't prepared to offer Vancouver what they want. From what I have heard, Florida has tabled an offer and it remains on the table – featuring a forward (likely someone like Sean Bergenheim or Scottie Upshall) and a prospect (not a top tier prospect). Theodore and Clemmensen were both very good last year, but it would be risky to project similar numbers this season - it was Theodore's best season in quite some time. Even with Luongo's postseason failures, he represents a significant upgrade (with a reasonable cap hit of $5.3 million).
Not sure if Vancouver changes their tune – it will be interesting to see how the situation plays out. I wouldn't fully count Toronto or Chicago out yet, either.
Evgeni Kuznetzov's season has started in Russia. Here is a pretty interesting interview from the other day. Some excerpts:
"Evgeny Kuznetsov: I have no idea. And now, it's a shame they didn't even invite me to their summer development camp. [Editor's note: "очень обидно " literally means "my feelings are greatly hurt"]
Yuriy Golyshak: Would you go?
Evgeny Kuznetsov: I really wanted to. It's just very interesting to get another look at how it is there. Even if I wouldn't be able to go, just to get the invitation would be nice. I don't know whether they gave up on me all together or not, but it's somewhat strange."
I'm not sure why Washington would bother inviting him if he has re-upped in Russia for two more years. What a shame – he is arguably the most talented prospect outside of Granlund and Yakupov.
NHL.com delivered their top 175 fantasy rankings. It is good to get a wide variety of opinions when finalizing your own lists.
If you owned Erik Karlsson in a pool right now, would you sell high? Would trading him for a superstar forward even be selling high? I own him, and haven't really entertained thoughts of moving him (yet), but looking at the fluctuations in defensive production from year to year, maybe it would make sense to kick some tires?
Lars Eller is the #4 young player in Montreal according to Habs Eyes on the Prize.
"Strengths: Eller is a simply superb puck carrier and controller based off of strength, speed, and puck handling. A very good skater both in terms of speed and technique. Physically strong and hard to knock off the puck. Solid at playing a simple cycle game in the offensive zone. Excellent penalty killer. Pretty good passing and shot although he isn't a high volume shooter.
Weaknesses: Doesn't make the best use of his linemates and tries to do too much himself. Not the best offensive instincts or creativity from what has been seen so far. Does poorly when moved to the left wing. Has yet to put up really noteworthy offensive numbers in the NHL, but also has not played a role were that might be reasonably expected of him. Could be much better on faceoffs.
Projection: At best we can hope that Eller becomes a solid two-way second line center that is deployed against the opposition's best forwards. At worst he can be a solid defensive 3rd line center and penalty kill specialist. I doubt he'll be the next Mikko Koivu like we initially hoped, but I feel pretty good about him becoming the Habs' version of David Bolland.
Eller fills an important role, as he brings size behind two undersized centers – Desharnais and Plekanec. It will be interesting to see how he develops – he has some great assets, but also some weaknesses in his game that he needs to shore up if he wants to step up into a full-time top six position.
I have intentionally avoided the Phoenix ownership situation/mess in the ramblings, as would probably set off more than a few rants, and it doesn't have a ton (directly) to do with fantasy hockey. I also have some good friends in the Phoenix area who are very passionate about the Coyotes and hockey in general.
But at the end of the day, if Greg Jamison is struggling to get financing… how is he expected to be able to run the hockey club properly in the coming years? According to a source, Jamison has received his financing… I guess we will see where this goes.
If there is a lockout, I am looking forward to going to more WHL games, and watching more AHL games (I think I am going to purchase the online streaming package for the AHL). How are you going to get your hockey fix?
Six players I will be watching closely this season:
Marek Hrivik – Rangers
The slick winger came in to the AHL last season and dominated in a short stint. Likely needs some time at that level before making the Rangers, but he isn't far off.
Zack Phillips – Wild
Snagged the cerebral center in my recent dispersal draft – he has many similarities to Brad Richards. Both players are average size and speed, and rely on hockey sense and playmaking to succeed. Both also played in the QMJHL and were extremely productive there.
Jon Merrill – New Jersey
Merrill will be one of the best defensemen in college this season at Michigan, and he should form the top pairing with freshman Jacob Trouba (Winnipeg's 2012 1st round pick). Merrill shouldn't need much time at the AHL level once he turns pro (likely next summer). He projects as a very good two-way defenseman.
Brandon Pirri – Chicago
Pirri has a significant opportunity in front of him in Chicago – the Hawks still have no second line center, and he is the best bet to fill the vacancy (internally). He showed last season he could one day be ready, but he wasn't quite up to speed just yet. Patrick Kane will play center for now, but he is more effective offensively on the wing.
JT Brown -Tampa Bay
There are several Bolts who could challenge for a roster spot next season – Conacher, Barberio, Killorn, and Brown, among others. Brown may have the best chance to be an impact player right away.
Joe Morrow – Pittsburgh
Morrow is not far off from the NHL, but the Penguins will take their time with him. In the long run, he'll compete with some talented young defensemen for ice time, but he should have the inside track at power play minutes, as he is very talented offensively. Simon Despres projects as more of a two-way defenseman, and Derrick Pouliot is a few years away.

Travel >Chesterfield Hotel And Suites Miami Beach Hotels
855 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL | Directions 3313925.779027 -80.131723
Neighborhoods: Flamingo / Lummus
Disgusting – This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The room smelled like a dead animal, literally, and was filthy with urine on the floor. I asked to be moved to another room, but it smelled the same. The room was filthy as well, with pubic hairs and sand in the bathtub. I was forced to cut my trip short as a result, but the management would not give me a refund, and did not even offer to cover incidental room expenses.
?? "Hip" ?? – Identifying oneself as 'hip' is not. Having a guest robbed, then not being in close touch with him/her--let alone not returning calls--is well beyond abysmal. The owner/management should not be in a consumer-oriented business.
Lousy hotel product – I am not sure how anyone can stay here and not be dissapointed. Cheap breakfast. Rude service from the night staff. Lound music in the lobby all night long so if you got a room on the first floor forget about sleeping any. Lights out in the room, no safe. Don't even bother to try to reach the managment they are never around. They obviously don't care about the service of this hotel. This hotel is not worth the $$$. Very disappointed. Stay at your own risk .
WORST HOTEL EVER - do NOT stay here – I was there two weeks ago and my room was broken into. I filed a police report and the GM of the hotel refuses to get back to me, have not watched the video tapes (that are aimed directly at my room) and overall do not care and are completely unhelpful. No one returns calls - this is easily the worst experience I've ever had. Someone else posted a separate review saying they were robbed, as well, so I really would recommend that you stay anywhere but here.
Worst Customer Service – I don't know where to begin with this place. They try really hard to be a "boutique Hotel" but fall so far off the scale. The workers not only are difficult to understand with the language barrier but are not helpful at all. I had items stolen from my room and it took them 2 days to give me an answer on whether my items were found. They cover up for their dishonest housekeepers. I don't recommend this place at all!!!!
great fun – spent 2 nights here and loved it. lots going on. fun lobby bar, great rooftop jacuzzi, stocked mini-bar, nice cd player, bathroom is roomy. so much for so little. we got free tix for clubs, free drinks at happy hour, free breakfast. and the front desk was cheery and helpful. we had a quiet room on the 3rd floor facing the street and it was nice and quiet. fun and relaxing. great place to visit while in sobe.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Chic hotel draws business travelers and hipsters with plush linens, free-flowing rain showers and business center at central South Beach location.
RUN As Fast As You Can From the Creepy Crawlies! – When we arrived to this dump,we were disappointed w/the sleazy atmosphere.We'd never been to South Beach & figured maybe we needed to get used to the art deco scene.We went up to our room,through the dark dungeon of a hallway,to find a small,uninviting room overlooking an alley.We immediately took the comforter offwhich was absolutely filthy & full of stains.We noticed the bed was made, but sheets were not clean.There was sand,hair, and a cigarette hole in them.We left for the beach & complained on the way out.When we got back,nothing had been done+we were greeted by a live b_g crawling in the middle of the bed.We complained again-nothing.Since it was a holiday weekend & we may not get another room,we grabbed sheets from the hall closet, & left to buy disinfectant & trash bags to put down between the mattress & sheets.Last straw was when we came back,stripped the bed of everything & found several bed b_gs (dead & alive) on the mattress.We left with our unpacked bags in the middle of the night.Luckily, we were able to find another room (& it wasnt raining like next night)at about 3 AM for 1 night.Next day,we went back to the Chesterfield & were offered a great place at another one of their upscale South Beach Group hotels.We were apprehensive,but checked it out.We had to speak to the manager before taking it & since she wasnt in until noon,we stayed put.At 11:30 AM we got a call asking if we wanted the room b/c someone else needed it.We said we did,ran to speak to manager, only to have her tell us the room had been given awayfive minutes after we hung up.We spent two out of our five day vacation searching for other accommodations & moving around in extremely humid weather.Did I mention our toilet didnt work?This is the most unprofessional & disgusting place.Still having nightmares.Ruined our vacation,dont let them ruin yours.
Hotel with it all – They've got location, clean rooms, courteous staff, good prices, fun happy hour and free breakfast. Right in the center of SouthBeach. It's a great weekday getaway for locals. Or spend a weekend if you're from out of town. You'll be very happy you did. all the employees give their best.
Customer Service Without the Service – Whe I checked in the room was warm so I asked that maintenance take a look at the unit. The guy held his hand 3 inches from the vent told me it was working fine although I was sweating. I'm sure that CHECKING the unit meant more than holding a hand over it. The front desk said there was nothing they could do since all the South Beach Group hotels were sold out. After complaining all weekend with no work done on the unit and the last day of my stay, the front dest attendant lied and said again that there were no rooms until I told her how many days we had gone with out A/C.
The manger nor any representative from South Beach Group hotels returned my phone call or email to address my complaint. If you are looking for quality and service this place it not it.

Netmagix deserves all the Credit for this post....thanks Netmagix
This is for all of you having problems with the 2g iphone and Winpwn 126.96.36.199 developing a custom 2.0.1 firmware
I had a perfectly working 1.1.4 iphone when i decided to upgrade to 2.0.1 using winpwn 188.8.131.52 and it screwed my phone up for the best part of two days.
For those of you who had been struggling, you may be aware of the errors 6, 13 and sometimes 20 that pop out on itunes when restoring. I was blighted with the first two for the most part and I can understand your frustration.
Error 6 is possibly to the fact that
1. Because you are not in DFU mode (see how you can do it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiTcKMZfyfk)
2. iTunes does not recognize the custom firmware file you have made using Winpwn 126.96.36.199 as being suitable to restore (because of the various complications such as freezes, hangups, crashes etc in building it using Winpwn I would imagine). To overcome this problem I downloaded Bigboss's (bless him) custom 2.0.1 firmware file made for iPhone 2g from
*** Mod edit: No links to custom firmwares on the boards ***
and this makes life so much easier than having to crash through buggy Winpwn. Using the file made the restore work like a charm with none of the errors.
Right, now this is how you go about it.
1. You must have winpwn 22.214.171.124 and iTunes 7.7 installed
2. Download and save the above firmware.
3. Connect iPhone and start iTunes (and ignore any restoration messages)
4. Start Winpwn ---> Browse ipsw ---> Select original 2.0.1 firmware from Apple (not bigboss's) ----> wait for winpwn to recognise the file ----> then click 'ipwner' and then select the bigboss's downloaded custom firmware-----> Wait for Winpwn to kill/pwn itunes as indicated by 'Your iTunes has been pwned'.
5. Restart iTunes (and still ignore restore messages) and put the iPhone in DFU mode (see how you can do it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiTcKMZfyfk).
NB: Your screen should not have anything displayed in DFU mode, it should be pitch black.
6. When in DFU mode, iTunes will pop another message out to restore your iPhone. This time, while holding the 'shift' button click 'restore' and select the downloaded custom firmware file.
7. The whole process should take around 20-30 minutes so please be patient.
8. Once you succeed, bootneuter will pop up on your iPhone and starts to work its magic for at least another 10 minutes. Do not ever interrupt this process just because the screen appears pretty unresponsive.

A Carnival Cruise Lines ship was stuck at a Caribbean port with equipment trouble on Thursday, a month after thousands of passengers were trapped at sea for days on a Carnival ship disabled by a fire.
The incident is the latest black eye for an industry battered by problems ranging from norovirus outbreaks to the Costa Concordia accident in Italy last year that killed 32 people.
The Carnival Dream, which was on a week-long cruise, remained in port in St. Maarten after its emergency diesel generator malfunctioned during testing Wednesday, according to the company.
Though the problem temporarily disrupted elevator and toilet services, the ship never lost power, Carnival said.
CNN reported that passengers had contacted the cable news channel to complain about power outages and overflowing toilets.
Carnival said it was making arrangements to fly passengers to Orlando or their final destination via charter flights and regularly scheduled flights. It is offering passengers refunds and a 50 percent discount on a future cruise.
The Carnival Dream, which according to the company's website can accommodate 3,646 passengers and 1,367 crew members, is being repaired at the dock by company engineers.
The cruise industry has proved resilient in the face of a series of disasters. The Cruise Lines International Association projects a 3.3 percent rise in the number of cruise customers this year. Carnival and its smaller rival, Royal Caribbean Cruises, have said bookings are recovering from a slump following the Costa Concordia accident.
But headlines—coming at the busiest booking time of the year—about mechanical problems and passengers stuck without working toilets could take a toll.
"It's first-time cruisers that will have issues," said Morningstar analyst Jaime Katz. "This is definitely a PR (public relations) concern. This is some inflection point."
Carnival canceled the Dream's next voyage, scheduled to start Saturday. Its home port is Port Canaveral, Fla.
On Tuesday, Carnival said it had begun a comprehensive review of its entire fleet after a fire crippled the Carnival Triumph in the Gulf of Mexico last month.
An engine-room blaze knocked out power and plumbing throughout most of the Triumph, which had more than 4,200 people on board. Passengers said toilets and drainpipes had overflowed, causing an overpowering stench in parts of the ship.
The Triumph eventually was towed into port in Mobile, Ala.
Carnival has assembled teams of fire safety experts, naval architects, electrical and mechanical engineers and engine manufacturers to conduct its own investigation, President and CEO Gerry Cahill said Tuesday.
The CLIA's website said a typical cruise ship has more than 60 safety, environmental and health inspections annually. The Coast Guard inspects all cruise ships in the U.S. to certify compliance with federal and international regulations.
Last weekend, the Carnival Elation suffered mechanical difficulty and had to get a tugboat escort down the Mississippi River.

DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, or DNA, is often called the "blueprint of life". Each DNA strand contains a unique genetic code for each person and exists in every cell of our bodies. No two DNA codes are alike, with the exception of identical twins.
Often questions arise concerning family dynamics and biological relationships. These concerns usually center around wanting to establishing or verify paternal relationships. During these times the standard scientific approach is to perform DNA testing, because it is currently the most advanced and accurate technology to determine parentage.
A DNA test provides persuasive, and often life-changing, information. And while everyone wants the best DNA testing available to answer paternity or relationship questions, no one should have to be a genetic scientist to understand the results. Frankly, some of the scientific terms used might seem more than a little intimidating. At Bio-Gene we help decode the test results and bring all the genetic information from each case together in a simple, easy-to-understand, one-page report.
Bio-Gene's Paternity Testing examines up to 26 Genetic Markers in a person's DNA, checking for matches between the alleged father and the child. For testing to determine Sibling, Grandparent, or Avuncular (Aunt/Uncle) relationships, we test 41 Genetic Markers. Each match produces a Relationship Index, which is a number that shows how strong the match is; the higher the number, the stronger the match. Using such a high number of genetic markers not only allows us to be more accurate than other tests which use significantly less standards of comparison (16 or less), we are also able to draw conclusive results virtually every time using less people in the testing process. What this means is that you can obtain a more accurate DNA test, for a lower cost, and have your questions answered the first time.
Please select the type of DNA testing you are interested in from the selection at the top of this page, or take a moment and complete the Information Request Form below and a Case Manager will contact you to discuss your case.

A chronicle of AIDS activism in New York, the film shows how a group of men and women fought against a homophobic establishment to help bring life-saving drugs to America. It's a remarkable part of American history that too few are aware of, and one that comes to theaters exactly 25 years after ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) -- the activist group at the core of "Plague" -- held its first demonstration.
Shortly after the film's world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Indiewire sat down with three New Yorkers pivotal to the film's existence: Director David France, producer Howard Gertler and Peter Staley, one of the primary protagonists in the film's narrative.
A longtime journalist, France made his first foray into filmmaking with "Plague," but he began covering AIDS "before it was even called AIDS," he says. After starting in the gay presses, he moved into the mainstream, working for the New York Times and New York magazine, among others. He started making "Plague" roughly three years ago, and it came largely out of a growing concern that all the writing and film work and thinking about AIDS had taken place before AIDS activism started.
"If the plague years can be divided in half," he says, "the first half is 1981-1986 or so, and that's where so much work came from. That's where 'The Normal Heart' is. That's where 'Angels in America' is. That's where 'And The Band Played On' is. It's all about this mystery disease coming and killing us."
As France explains, the second half of the "plague years" was about response and how activists combatted the crisis. But very little media has depicted this part of the story. Why?
"I think the reason is that when the good drugs came in 1996, AIDS suddenly became a non-story," France says. "Newspapers stopped writing about it. It was over. And the idea of going back and revisiting that was made impossible by media empires."

This is an excellent eye pencil. It goes on smoothly and lasts ALL day. I love that you twist it up and don't have to carry around a pencil sharpener. Definitely recommend.
I have always just bought eyeliner from the store and I always thought the cheaper, the better. I was browsing through the makeup on the Birchbox site and came across this. I decided to give it a try and I am really glad I did. It lasted throughout the day and it went on so smooth and didn't smudge at all. I will definitely be buying this brand from now on. Thank you!
Gives a clean line and no smudge later. Lasted all day and there was no need for a touch up :)
