Political pressure limits Internet freedom, even in the U.S.
Online retailers have mostly sided with those supporting so-called 'Net neutrality, fearing that if those who control the Internet's data pipes could send some data faster than others they might, for instance, deliver video more slowly from an e-retailer that didn't pay extra for faster service. The events surrounding WikiLeaks this week make clear there are more direct threats to the neutral treatment of Internet content.
In response to WikiLeaks beginning to release some of what it says are 251,000 confidential U.S. government documents, the web site has come under attack from key providers of Internet services. Amazon Web Services, a unit of online retailer Amazon.com Inc. that rents server capacity and other web services, stopped providing hosting services to WikiLeaks. (WikiLeaks had briefly moved its site to Amazon Web Services after its site, previously hosted in Sweden, came under attack and was briefly offline.) Then Visa, MasterCard and PayPal all stopped handling payments to WikiLeaks.
Those moves were aimed at strangling WikiLeaks by depriving it of two essential elements for web survival: servers that can feed content to web users and the money to operate.
PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay Inc., has been the most forthcoming in explaining why it acted. Its executives have said the U.S. State Department provided it with a copy of a letter to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his lawyer saying the release of the cables would be a violation of U.S. law if the release were not authorized. Even this letter from the State Department does not directly accuse Assange or WikiLeaks of a crime.
Many commentators are accusing Assange of crimes, including espionage and treason (although since Assange is Australian the treason charge seems far-fetched.) And Assange and WikiLeaks may ultimately be found guilty of criminal acts. But at this point there are no charges filed anywhere to my knowledge against Assange or WikiLeaks. (No, Assange has not been charged with rape in Sweden; the Swedish authorities want to question him about sexual relations with two women, which by all press accounts were at least initially consensual.) The denial-of-service attacks this week against MasterCard, Visa and PayPal are criminal, but there is no evidence WikiLeaks was responsible.
Should charges be filed against WikiLeaks or Assange, it would be up to the courts to decide guilt or innocence. In this country everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In the case of WikiLeaks, powerful companies like Amazon, Visa, MasterCard and eBay/PayPal have chosen to judge WikiLeaks guilty even before charges are filed, much less brought to court.
There's an important precedent to keep in mind. In 1971, a U.S. government employee named Daniel Ellsberg released a long history of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia that the U.S. government had prepared for its own use. He argued that what came to be known as the Pentagon Papers demonstrated that the government had for years misrepresented its actions to the American people.
After the New York Times published an article based on material contained in the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. government convinced a federal appeals court to stop further publication of material from the government document. However, just a few weeks later, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 vote now viewed as a landmark free speech decision, ruled that the government could not prevent publication of the material.
The high court did not say the release of the documents was legal or that the New York Times and other publications were immune from prosecution for disseminating the information. But it held that the right of a free press to publish, and of the people to know, trumped the government's concerns that the document's release might compromise national security. As New York Times correspondent R.W. Apple wrote 25 years later, "the Constitution, in the Court's view, makes prior restraint impermissible even if there is some danger to national security."
It's worth noting that Julian Assange is not the Daniel Ellsberg figure in today's instance since he was not the one who released the documents; Assange is more akin to the publisher of the New York Times who decided to publish material that came into the newspaper's possession. No one made a serious effort to put the New York Times out of business in 1971. Yet there are obviously many anxious to silence WikiLeaks before it releases all the documents in its possession.
Is there a threat here to Internet retailers? Perhaps there is. While it's hard to imagine an online retailer provoking the kind of actions directed against WikiLeaks, if I were importing Persian rugs from Iran for sale online I'd be concerned about the future of my business should relations between the U.S. and Iran deteriorate.
What the WikiLeaks controversy tells me is that access to the Internet in the U.S. is largely controlled by big companies that are susceptible to government pressure. In light of that, the threat that some day a cable provider might slow down the download speed of a retailer's video seems trivial.

The Emery High Spartan baseball team opened Region 8 play with a 5-3 victory over the Lehi Pioneers in Lehi. Chandler Pearson pitched six strong innings and then survived the seventh in picking up the victory. Pearson also hit a 3-run homerun in the fifth inning to extend the Spartan lead to 5-0.
Pearson struck out six Pioneers, gave up only two walks and held Lehi to only two hits and no runs until the last inning. In the seventh, Lehi scored three runs on four hits before Chandler got the last batter to fly out to centerfield.
Emery scored the first run of the game in the third inning. Wes Baletka opened the inning with a single to left field and was advanced to second on a bunt by Josh Eden. Chandler Tanner picked up the RBI with a single to right field.
Baletka also opened the fifth inning with a single and was advanced as Eden got on base. Tanner also got aboard because of a Lehi error and Baletka scored for the second time. Pearson then hit his homerun to put Emery up 5-0.
On Thursday, the Spartans hosted the Carbon Dinos and lost 9-3. The Dinos used a 7-run sixth inning to break open a 2-1 game and then held off the Spartans.
Daniel Luke scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning as he got on due to an error by the catcher and then proceeded to steal second base, third base and then home.
Emery scored twice in the bottom of the sixth inning as Baletka hit a double followed by Jeffs with a single. They both scored in the inning as Trevor Thompson finished off Emery's hitting with a single in that inning.
The Spartans went 3-7 in the preseason with victories over Pine View in St George and over two Colorado schools, Lakewood and Northridge, in a Montrose tournament.

Who are we? Who are you?

Dear OilersNation, Who the heck is "the nation?" Dave
We've been getting sweated recently by some to identify ourselves, or at the least come up with a better name than "The Nation." Fair enough; it lacks imagination. But we were voted "least likely to amount to anything" in high school, so cut us some slack.
We were born and bred in Edmonton, and we have been Oilers fans since Mats Lindgren was going to be the man around these parts. We just had some things we wanted to say, and thought we would start writing. The fellows who started bring94home.com were kind enough to let us post here when they started up this site, so away we went.
We aren't professionals anything, but we can slam a beer and throw a punch at your sister faster than you can believe—guaranteed. And we can't say enough good and bad things about the Oil and the OilersNation. We aren't a fan of any particular player, coach or GM. We just live and die cheering for the jersey, and anyone lucky enough to wear it and call Edmonton home. So if you keep reading, we'll keep writing. Even if Robin Brownlee is better than us, though we would never tell him that.

A Tara Reid-Welcoming Promises Attempts to Assert Its Integrity
Not long after we reported on Tara Reid getting free rehab at Promises, a rep for the rehab facility contacted us, took us into a quiet, seaside-adjacent massage room, and began a healing confrontation.
Speaking to us in soothing tones as we submitted to candlelit massages and sipped (nonalcoholic!) "banana daiquiris," the rep insisted that Promises had done nothing wrong. "I recognize your right to use the language you want, and I understand the heart-place it was coming from," he said as our attendant, Luisa, informed us that the afternoon ashtanga yoga session would be starting in ten minutes. "But you need to recognize that your words impacted our shame-feelings, as well as our bottom line."
Or maybe it happened this way: We got a terse email from Jonathan Franks at Arlene Howard PR.
In response to a story printed this morning in Star Magazine, Promises Treatment Centers releases the following statement:
While Promises will not comment on any specific individual, Promises would like to clarify the integrity of our policy:
1) Promises is committed to keeping the identity of clients private to the best of our ability. Promises does not comments on its fees.
2) ALL client belongings are searched, as are ALL incoming packages. Rooms are subject to search at random.
3) ALL clients are treated the same and expected to follow the same set of rules with no exceptions.
Any suggestion that Promises is in any financial trouble whatsoever is patently untrue.
The suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without any basis in reality.
You hear that, America? If Tara Reid is currently secluded in Promises Malibu, fielding American Pie pitches while attempting to figure out Cooking Mama on her suite's Nintendo DS, it's because she paid full freight, not because the facility scouted around for someone to impress the Mt. Olympus housewives who've grown bored with the erstwhile Power Ranger in their group encounter sessions. Duly noted!

I am trying to determine if it is necessary to replace the 3/4" line. Does the reduction to 3/4" for a distance of 5 feet alter the water flow to the extent that replacement is necessary??

Trade Scenarios
How Dwight Howard Changes the Odds
by Bradford Doolittle
The Dwight Howard hypotheticals continue to fly around every form of media that exists and after three months of this, we're no closer to knowing just where the NBA's best center is going to land. We don't even know if he's going to be traded at all. Some, like Jerry West and Steve Kerr, suggest that Magic general manager Otis Smith should call Howard's bluff. Others insist that it would be moronic of Smith to let Howard walk this summer, that he has to move him now and recover whatever assets the trade market will bear.
It's a fascinating story because even though it seems like the league is currently suffering from an epidemic of stars forcing their way to new teams, in a historical context this is something that just doesn't happen very often. Not for upper-crust players at their peak. You can estimate that there are only around four to eight uber-elite players in the league at any given time, and that's probably being generous. When players of that caliber change teams, championships hang in the balance. That's the way it was for Moses Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and, perhaps, LeBron James. That's the way it may be for Dwight Howard.
Winning titles is what it's all about, right? That question seems too obvious to answer, but if you consider how NBA teams sometimes conduct their business, you can't help but wonder if that's really what they're trying to do. You can't levy that criticism against any team that acquires Howard, though. Any team that starts him a center is going to be in the championship conversation, at least a little bit.
To jump start that conversation, we've put some of these scenarios to the test. Our questions: How much would an acquisition of Howard improve each team's odds of winning a championship this season? Would some teams be helped more than others, once you factor in what they would be giving up?
We came up with eight scenarios that have been concocted by those who cover the league. Most of these ideas come from Chris Broussard's piece from yesterday; one of them is from a Broussard piece last month. We raided some ideas from Austin Link as well and, finally, came up with one scenario on our own, for reasons you are soon to learn.
We fed each of these scenarios in our SCHOENE projection system in order to calculate a baseline of expected wins, for each team in the league. Then we took these projected win totals and fed them into our Monte Carlo-style simulator, which generates results of each game from this year's schedule while factoring in things like home advantage and the effects of the compressed slate. The season is simulated all the way through until a champion is crowned. We ran each scenario through this simulation process 1,000 times in order to come up with a percentage chance that each reconfigured team can win a title with Howard, while also tracking the effects on the jilted Magic.
By comparing our reconfigured results with our original projections, we can estimate how much each scenario improves a team's championship odds--or, as with one case, if the deal improves their odds at all. So without further ado, here are eight Dwight Howard trade scenarios, listed in reverse order according to how much a deal improves the team's title odds.
8. The Magic trades Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson to Miami for Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
(Heat lose 10%; Magic gain 8.2%)
Keep in mind what these numbers mean: It's the change in a team's chances to win the title, not their new title odds. In this case, the Heat loses 10 percent, but still would have a 30.7 percent chance of winning a championship with its new pairing of LeBron James and Howard. However, from Orlando's standpoint, if Smith could swing this deal, he'd forever cement his place among the pantheon of NBA gurus. The Magic's chance of winning it all jumps from 4.4 percent with its current roster all the way up to 12.6 percent with the addition of Wade and Bosh.
Of course, it ain't going to happen. As we mentioned, there are only handful of true franchise players in the league at any given time and this deal swaps one for the other. In this scenario, the Magic not only get back Wade, but in Bosh they gain a performer that's on the level just below the elite. As nice as Ryan Anderson is, he's not of Bosh's caliber, and Turkoglu's career is running out of steam. Even Howard is not good enough for Miami to give up two of its big three. This was the only scenario in which a team's title chances actually took a hit.
7. The Magic trades Howard and Turkoglu to New Jersey for Brook Lopez, Marshon Brooks, Kris Humphries, Jordan Farmar, Mehmet Okur and a first-round pick.
(Nets gain 0.3%; Magic lose 3.8%)
The next three scenarios all have something in common: The percentage gains of acquiring Howard are very low because these teams don't have championship cores as currently constituted. For the Nets, the tandem of Deron Williams and Howard would make a great starting point for an eventual title contender. However, this deal would gut New Jersey's depth and the roster would be filled out with a lot of flotsam and jetsam.
As for the Magic, the percentage loss seems small until you consider that Orlando started this season with a 4.4 percentage chance of winning it all. You can't go down too far from that; this deal simply moves them closer to zero.
6. The Magic trade Howard, Turkoglu and Jason Richardson to Atlanta for Joe Johnson, Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia.
(Hawks gain 0.4%; Magic lose 1.6%)
This trade actually seems fairly plausible given the perceived value of the players involved. The Hawks would be building around a new core of Howard, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague which is kind of an awkward mix of strengths and weaknesses, but the talent is there. Howard would be the best building block the Hawks have had, but he wouldn't lift them into immediate contention. Still, this would be a great first step for the next version of the Hawks.
The Magic would get back a new leading scorer in Johnson, a guy who can create his own shot. In the big picture, it's the last thing Orlando would want to do--Johnson is on the wrong side of 30 and his onerous contract gets worse with each passing season. Horford would be a nice get but, as it is in Atlanta, he'd be forced to play out of position in the pivot. Orlando would remain competitive with this deal, but ultimately would find itself mired in the NBA's middle class.
5. The Magic trade Howard and Turkoglu to New York for Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.
(Knicks gain 1.7%; Magic lose 1.9%)
While the Knicks would still have some work to do, this would trade would give their roster a higher ceiling. Howard is an upgrade over Tyson Chandler at both ends but as well as the latter is playing, this improvement is somewhat marginal, at least for this season. Clearly, you're losing a lot of value in going from Anthony to Turkoglu at the three. These numbers do include a larger projected role for Jeremy Lin going forward, though our projections don't quite yet capture the full value of what he's been giving to New York over the last nine magical days.
As with the Atlanta proposal, taking back Anthony and Chandler would keep the Magic competitive, but also would stick it in the middle, where you don't want to be. One reason this trade might happen is because of Anthony's perceived value. As the Knicks proved last season, he's viewed across the league as one of those upper-crust players we mentioned. The numbers don't quite agree. If the numbers are wrong, then this scenario would be a nice deal for Orlando.
4. The Magic trade Howard, Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson to the L.A. Lakers for Andrew Bynum. Houston sends Luis Scola, Kyle Lowry and Chase Budinger to the Magic. The Lakers send Pau Gasol to Houston.
(Lakers gain 3.2%, Magic gains 4.2%, Rockets gain 0.6%)
Our only three-team scenario improves the title odds for each team. Orlando gets a lot of talent back, but also has to deal with the diminishing returns of having Scola and Ryan Anderson sharing time at the four. Still, it would be a nice infusion of talent for the Magic. The Rockets have a lot of depth and not only would landing Gasol give them the offensive post presence they desire, but young upside players like Patrick Patterson and Chandler Parsons would get a chance to take on larger roles.
The Lakers' roster right now isn't that great and trading both Bynum and Gasol is a major talent hit. Nevertheless, the Howard-Kobe Bryant pairing would be daunting. L.A. would scare some teams in the current postseason, then Mitch Kupchak go about the task of remaking his roster to complement his new star duo. The presence of Turkoglu and Nelson--and their contracts--would actually impede that process.
3. Dallas signs Howard as a free agent.
(Mavericks gain 7.4%; Magic lose 4.4%)
You don't see Dallas-Orlando trade scenarios floated because, frankly, there aren't any that make sense. Still, the Mavericks, along with the Clippers and Nets, are one of the teams on Howard's much-discussed list, so you have to account for them. The Mavericks have cleared the salary decks for a run this summer at Howard, if he's available, and possibly Dallas native Deron Williams. This scenario assumes that Howard signs with Dallas this summer, while free-agents-to-be Jason Kidd and Jason Terry end up remaining with the Mavs on team-friendly contracts. Lamar Odom is assumed to have been bought out and his minutes replaced by a generic replacement-level player. (Though for the purposes of this simulation, we're imagining that all of this took place last summer.)
The new Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Kidd/Terry core jumps to nearly a 10 percent chance to win a title, which is pretty good. Meanwhile, we see what happens to the Magic in the short term if Howard walks away and leaves Orlando empty-handed: Its title odds drop to zero.
2. The Magic trade Howard and Anderson to the L.A. Clippers for Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
(Clippers gain 12.2%; Magic lose 2.4%)
The Clippers are views by SCHOENE as a moderate title contender (7.2 percent) as it is, but this trade would vault L.A. into the elite. Griffin, as good as he is, resides a tier well below that of Howard. Even better, Anderson has more on-court value than Jordan. That especially holds true when you consider that everything Jordan does, Howard does better. The new core would be Chris Paul, Howard and Anderson, players who complement each other in an almost ideal sense.
This would be a fair swap for the Magic as well. Orlando would remain competitive in the short term, but would also have that all-important first building block in Griffin. Also, Stan Van Gundy might be better suited than Vinny Del Negro to harness Jordan's ridiculous raw ability, turning him into a Howard-style defensive anchor.
1. The Magic trade Howard and Turkoglu to Chicago for Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson and the first-round pick the Bulls received from the Charlotte Bobcats.
(Bulls gain 13%; Magic lose 2.4%)
When you're talking in terms of marginal gains, no team stands to gain more from a Howard acquisition than Chicago, which would vault over Miami as the odds-on favorite to win it all. You'd be asking Howard to paper over the defensive shortcomings of his new frontcourt mates in Carlos Boozer and Turkoglu, but Bulls defensive wizard Tom Thibodeau could make it work. Even more so than Paul in L.A., Derrick Rose would make an ideal running mate for Howard because of his ability to get his own shot. Howard is not a high-volume offensive player and has always needed a high-scoring teammate to open things up in the lane.
The Magic get back plenty of future value in this deal and would be one of the league's better defensive teams right away. However, points would be hard to come by on the offensive end as Orlando would be woefully short of shot creators. That's okay--Smith presumably is thinking big picture with this one.

Eleanore Wolpert (Singleton) George has spent all of her life actively involved in the county and Ferron in particular. She spent her career in service to Emery County as the treasurer and continues to be active as much as her 93 year old body allows. As a tireless booster for multiple generations of home-town youth, Eleanore remains civically involved in American Legion and the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
She recalls in the early days of Ferron, celebrations included 4th of July and Peach Days. One of the favorite events was the crowning of the "Goddess of Liberty." Candidates were nominated and fans bought tickets for their favorite at the Ferron Merc and drugstore. As an 18 year-old, Eleanore was awarded the title previously held a generation before by her mother, Mae Singleton.
Other activities Eleanore recalled was the band playing throughout the county in the back of a wagon and the American Legion going town to town early in the morning firing off a cannon.
Bloodlines are a blur when it comes to Eleanore's grandchildren and she is known as "Grandma" to everyone and treats children and adults alike, as her "grands". She always has a kind word, never judges others and is always open-minded. Eleanore is what makes a Grandma a Grandma.
Ferron City will remember Eleanore as one of its heroes by honoring her as a co-Grand Marshal in the Peach Days Parade.
Karen Thomas was born and raised in Ferron, the daughter of Darrel and Edna Petersen. She has one sibling, the late Jim Petersen. Karen's father owned and operated Ferron Drug for many years as the pharmacist, and later her brother Jim followed in his father's footsteps. Karen worked at her father's store during her high school years.
In 1955, Karen married Gale Thomas. They lived in Salt Lake for a few years before moving back home to Ferron so Gale could run the Ferron Merc grocery store. Gale built their home in Ferron, and Karen still resides in that home today. Gale and Karen are the parents of Julie Sitterud, Chris Pace, Lisa Behling and Jeff Thomas.
Karen was able to stay at home with her children until Gale's death in 1966. His sudden passing was not only a tragedy to his family, but to the community as well. At the time of his passing, Gale was the Bishop of the Ferron Ward and ran the Ferron Merc. Karen became a 28 year old widow with four small children to raise.
After Gale's passing, Karen went to work at a sewing plant until she obtained employment with the United States Postal Service. She loved her job at the Post Office and always went the extra mile with the service she rendered to the community. Having been plagued with rheumatoid arthritis for many years it was finally time to retire after 32 years of loyal service at the Post Office.
Over the years, Karen has been active in many church and community activities. For many years, she taught the youth the floor show dances for junior proms and Gold n' Green Balls. She has a beautiful singing voice and has sung at many different functions. Karen has always had a love for music.
Karen is a person who has had many trials and setbacks in life, but she has never given up. She has always stayed positive and finds the inner strength to persevere and move forward. Karen is a great example of faith and goodness to her family and those around her.
Today, Karen enjoys spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loves Ferron and finds joy and contentment there. Karen is so thankful for good friends and neighbors who support her and love her.

Advancing Age
The Lakers' New Foe
by Kevin Pelton
After getting swept by the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers now encounter what may be a more challenging foe: age. That starts with star Kobe Bryant, who will turn 33 in August and is now a 15-year veteran. How much longer can Bryant continue to play at his current All-NBA level? The answer to that question looms large for the Lakers' future.
Basketball Prospectus' SCHOENE projection system is designed to provide a general guide to questions like this. SCHOENE begins by finding comparable players of the same age based on weighted performance during the previous three seasons, then looks at how these peers developed in the years to come. Naturally, in Bryant's case, most similar players were beginning to decline. Of the 50 players whose stats were closest to Bryant's in 13 categories, including height and weight, 71 percent saw their overall per-minute performance decline the next season.
There are two bits of encouraging news for Lakers fans. The first is the player most similar to Bryant. As you might guess, that's Michael Jordan (see below for Bryant's five best comps). When he turned 33, Jordan was in the midst of winning the fourth of his five MVP trophies while leading the Chicago Bulls to a record 72 wins and a championship. Because Bryant entered the NBA out of high school and because of Jordan's year-plus baseball sabbatical, Jordan had less mileage at the same age--a lot less. In fact, Jordan had played barely 26,500 career minutes at the same age. Bryant has played more than 40,000. And yet, Bryant and Jordan appear similar, seemingly defining just how effective a star shooting guard can be, even as the athleticism wanes.
Player Season Sim
Michael Jordan 94-95 96.1
Vince Carter 08-09 95.8
Clyde Drexler 94-95 95.7
Dominique Wilkins 91-92 95.2
Gary Payton 00-01 94.9
Beyond that, Bryant's development probably cannot be defined by the average player with comparable stats. Since Bryant's work ethic and dedication to fitness are off the charts, he figures to hold his value longer than superficially similar players like Vince Carter. An extended summer due to a lockout could actually play to Bryant's advantage, given his legendary offseason workout regimen.
But there are some ominous signs, and major questions to be answered.
Start with Kobe's role. An interesting aspect of his projection relates to the part he plays in the Lakers' offense. The most significant area of decline for similar players at the same age was in terms of usage rate, which dropped by 4.6 percent of its previous total. Even Hall of Famers like Clyde Drexler began shifting to secondary roles in their early 30s. (Drexler was nearly 33 when he was traded to the Houston Rockets and teamed up with Hakeem Olajuwon to win a championship.) Yet Bryant is coming off a season in which he led the NBA with his highest usage rate (35.1 percent of the Lakers' plays) since 2005-06, when Smush Parker was the team's third-leading scorer.
While it doesn't show up in the numbers, Bryant is also in decline at the defensive end of the floor. As go-to players get older, they tend to have to conserve their energy on defense. That made it all the more surprising that Bryant was voted by coaches to the All-Defensive First Team for the ninth consecutive season.
The larger problem for the Lakers is that Bryant is not the team's only aging veteran. Weighted for playing time, the Lakers' effective age of 30.9 years on average was second in the league, trailing only the Mavericks (31.8). Just two of Los Angeles' rotation players (reserve guard Shannon Brown and center Andrew Bynum) are still in their 20s. Should the team stand pat, Bynum represents the greatest opportunity for improvement from within after his dominant post-All-Star performance. At Bynum's age, similar centers (a group that prominently includes Dwight Howard, as well as Yao Ming and Tim Duncan) increased their usage by 3.2 percent.
Besides Bynum, the Lakers' other frontcourt players should be able to hold their value for now. On average, Pau Gasol's best comparables actually improved at the same age. Similar players also suggest that Lamar Odom should maintain most of his value after being rewarded with the Sixth Man Award for one of the best seasons of his career.
Where SCHOENE forecasts big trouble is for Bryant's fellow perimeter players. Players similar to Ron Artest saw their per-minute production drop off by 6.3 percent the following season, and they tended to drift beyond the arc--not an encouraging sign after two consecutive seasons of shooting between 35 and 36 percent from 3-point range. Derek Fisher's best match was Derek Harper, who played one last year as a part-time starter for the Lakers--splitting time with a young Fisher--before retiring.
All of these projections are subject to change should the Lakers make dramatic changes during the offseason. But for now, the best guess is we've already seen the best of both Bryant and the Lakers. That certainly doesn't rule out the possibility of another title run, but it will make it that much more difficult.

Jordan's numbers weren't declining yet, though. Kobe's slipped a pretty good bit from last year. I don't think he's got a chance to catch Kareem for career points.

The 21-million-dollar question
Jean Lefebvre
May 15 2010 09:41AM
A significant portion of the Calgary fanbase can't stomach the idea of the Flames parting ways with Jarome Iginla.
Some think it would be a lousy idea to trade Iginla and others don't get as far as the "think" stage, instead basing their feeling on sentiment and gut reaction. Considering how many of the franchise's stars over the years finished their careers elsewhere — Gary Roberts, Theoren Fleury, Al MacInnis, Gary Suter and the guy for whom Iginla was traded way back when, Joe Nieuwendyk — it's an understandable reaction. We'll leave it up to you and your consciences if Mike Vernon qualifies as an exception to this rule.
On the flip side, at least some of the folks who have taken the position that Iginla has worn out his welcome at the Saddledome and/or that the franchise would be better served without No. 12 have done so out of anger and the primal blow-it-up instinct that typically follows an unsatisfying campaign for their heroes.
In short, there's so much emotion on both sides of the equation that it's hard to sort out whether Iginla would best serve the Flames by remaining a Flame or by agreeing to be a King, a Bruin, a Blue, a Ranger or, ugh, a Maple Leaf.
Without pretending to be able to definitively answer that question, let's take a look at the pointscoring history of 33-to-35-year-old stars and come up with a rough-hewn guess at how likely Iginla is to provide $21-million value over the remaining life of his contract.
In a previous entry, Kent Wilson drew from the example of Markus Naslund, whose career took a serious nosedive when his age matched Carey Wilson's sweater number. In his 32-year-old season, Naslund produced 32 goals and 79 points in 81 games, figures that interrupted a string of four consecutive years in which the Canucks winger had managed more than a point a game. Naslund played full 82-game schedules in each of his 33-to-35 seasons but his point totals were only 54, 46 and 57. At age 36, he walked away from his contract with the New York Rangers and returned to Sweden.
Then there's fellow Swede Mats Sundin, who between ages 26 and 36 turned in 10 seasons out of 10 that fell within the 74-to-83 point rage. It wasn't until age 37 when Sundin hemmed and hawwed about conituning his career and wound up playing a mediocre half-season in Vancouver before deciding to call it a career.
Or Iginla supporters could always hope for a Jaromir Jagr-like eruption at age 33. After being a 70-point man in his early 30s, Jagr exploded for 123 points at age 33 and followed that up with 96 points the next season. He dropped back to 71 points at age 35 and then headed for Russia.
How about Keith Tkachuk, a player who nominally falls into the same power-forward category as Iginla, even if in reality that label ill-fits the Calgary captain? Because of the lockout, Tkachuk didn't have a 32-year-old season but he started his 30-something career with 138 points in 141 games. From age 33-to-35, he produced 36 points in 41 games and then a pair of 58-point seasons in more-or-less full campaigns.
Of course, this is hardly a major revelation as common sense dictates that the numbers can start declining at a certain age, but common sense sometimes takes a back seat in a fan's opinion because of the aforementioned emotion issue. Iginla believers will also point to the fact that the right-winger is legendary for his conditioning and fitness results and will be able to cheat the aging process better than most.
In any event, here is the list of point totals from ages 30 to 35 for a group of star players. Just for the heck of it, and to demonstrate how much the concept of "old player" has changed in the last couple of decades, we've thrown Lanny McDonald, who was pretty much done at age 33, into the mix.
We've opted for raw point totals rather than point-per-game average because it would be counter-productive to use a methodology that removes the injury factor that is a significant part of the equation for aging hockey players. Lockout seasons (LO) are ignored for averging purposes.
I have mixed feelings on the issue.
I do believe there is value in having a guy spend an entire career in one sweater. It builds a culture, and a sense of history with your organization.
But Iginla is now a diminishing asset - and a big question is can the Flames, who are already thin on valuable assets, afford to simply have #12 fade into the sunset.
So I guess my short answer would be - if the return is right - then I think you move him. But if the only thing you can get for him is a bunch of question marks and draft picks - you pass.
Well, it has been clear by watching over the last two years that Iggy is but a shadow of his former self.
Still, points aren't everything. Even if Iggy were elite it is more than possible, with a different team makeup, that he would be asked to play tougher minutes and thus diminish his point totals.
The surface results aren't everything, the context of his icetime when gets said results is much more telling.
Unfortunately, it's been pretty clear that he's been playing easier icetime, overall, than he did in the first three post-lockout seasons, with worse results everywhere across the board.
May 15 2010, 01:58PM
"Unfortunately, it's been pretty clear that he's been playing easier icetime, overall, than he did in the first three post-lockout seasons, with worse results everywhere across the board"
And that is the scary part about it. I don't mind him being a role player, but he must be effective at it.
On a tangent: I don't think it is his salary per se that is the problem, the problem is everyone else on this team makes too much money for the value, which leaves you with no wiggle room when it comes to Iggy. The guy has to perform to his cap hit or the team is whooped because no one else on this team, save Bourque maybe, and Dawes, Glencross and Gio until he gets paid, is providing the value they should at the cap numbers they have.
Personally, I don't think it is fair to expect a 33, 34 year old guy to get you 100 points, and when he signed that contract I don't think the fans should have expected that. It was a reward for a lifetime of service to the franchise. He played up to it most of the years and the last 2 he wont. That isn't the end of the world, unless you have a GM who wastes precious cap space on Matt Stajan and Kotalik and Hagman and that stuff, and then it just might be. Compounding the problem is that Sutter built the team with the expectation that Iggy would continue to be a horse until the end of time, which was simply unrealistic.
Yeah he's going to look expensive for the next 3 years, but he was cheap for the first 3. It's no different than the front loaded contracts guys like Luongo, Franzen and Zetterburg signed. I don't know about you, but Jarome signed till he's 36 looks a hell of a lot better than Luongo signed till he's 42.

Eugene Lobato v. Zachary Taylor Landmark Ruling after 21 years of litigation on the Sangre de Cristo grant in San Luis, CO by the Colorado Supreme Court, June 24, 2002, affirming the rights of access for grazing, firewood and timber. On April 28, 2003 the court issued an additional ruling, directing the trial court to identify all landowners who have access rights to the Taylor Ranch and to enter all necessary and appropriate orders to safeguard those rights. On June 16, 2003, the court clarified that plaintiffs need only prove by a preponderance of the evidence that their property is included within the boundaries of property owned or occupied by settlers during the time of Gilpin ownership, and that the costs of determining this must be borne by Taylor. The court suggests that best evidence of benefited properties conveyed by Beaubien is the official 1894 Costilla County survey and inventory of lands held by individuals along the Culebra, Vallejos, and San Francisco Creeks.

" ...The first e-mail reaction I received to the report was: "It's a whitewash." I would go further: the report is a slap in the face..."
" ... The G.A.O. report is neither independent, unbiased, nor objective. It is, rather, a partisan brief for the government, explaining, as the government has been trying to explain since land grants were first "adjudicated" by the Surveyor General of New Mexico in 1854, why these "adjudications" were fair. In fact, they were often not fair by any standard. ... "
"... Because it is so partisan, the G.A.O. report does not deserve to be taken seriously as historical scholarship or as fair-minded legal analysis. The G.A.O. report is a slap in the face because it sidesteps the issues and still expects that scholars, lawyers, and land grant heirs and residents will actually like the report. The essence of the G.A.O. report is: here are the court decisions regarding the adjudication of land grants in New Mexico. These decisions say that the process was fair and the U.S. met its responsibility under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The G.A.O. agrees without doing any independent analysis. End of story.
But this is not the end of the story. New Mexicans
interested and involved in the land grant question are more
dedicated and more sophisticated than these Washington
lawyers. They have read and understand the research and land
grant histories that have been written and continue to be
written. They have worked this land, plowed it, irrigated
it, planted it, weeded it, harvested it, and then gone to
meetings in the evening about whether they owned it, or
whether they will retain their water rights to irrigate it.
They have grazed their cattle on it and gathered wood,
herbs, and other important resources from it. They can see
behind the legal niceties that in their hard-hearted
application by the G.A.O. squeeze the life out of something
they hold sacred. They and their ancestors know that this
land was promised them by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
and has been lost because of unfair actions by the U. S.
government. This is not the end of the story."

While you are anxious to recruit volunteers, especially new members in your association, you must first be sure you have ways to reach the newer member.
In addition to the other ideas offered in this forum, here are some strategies to consider when revising your association's membership plan to meet the needs of newer and younger members.
1. With the traditional welcome letter, send new members a thank-you note. Many associations send new members a packet of information. Sending an additional personal thank-you letter from the local leader gives you another chance to reiterate what a good investment new members have made by joining. If available, this communication could even be an email message.

Rihanna just doesn't stop.
After she literally made it rain on the United Kingdom's version of X-Factor last night, the "Diamonds" singer went back to her hotel and got it popping.
PHOTOS: Man Down! Rihanna Puts Chris Brown To Bed!
Rihanna showed up looking super casual in a denim jacket and tights as she arrived back to her room and was greeted by a ton of fans all holding up her brand new CD, Unapologetic.
DETAILS: Chris Brown Deletes His Twitter
She signed a few copies and headed to her room to do what she does best: get topless!
We're sure Chris Brown is going to like her picture – well actually, he can't figure out who he likes more. Breezy might have deleted his Twitter, but spent the night 'liking' a bunch of both Karrueche and Rihanna's pics.
Maybe Chris' fickle Instagram ways are a true look into his feelings for the two?

Canada opens World League with victory
QUEBEC CITY (May 31, 2013) – Canada overcame deficits in the third and fourth sets to defeat the Netherlands 25-22, 22-25, 27-25, 27-25 on Friday in the opening match for both teams in the FIVB World League Tournament.
Gavin Schmitt led the Canadian attack with 23 points while Fred Winters and Gord Perrin added 10 each. More than 3,500 fans attended the match at the Colisee. The match was also carried live across Canada on Sportsnet.
''I feel great about our performance,'' said Winters. '''Winning was the most important thing. It was our first highly competitive match in a long time and we responded.''
For the Netherlands Wytze Kooistra was the match's top scorer with 28 points while Jeroen Rauwerdink added 17.
''We had a lot of opportunities in the third and fourth sets,'' said Kooistra. ''Canada played a very consistent match and made it difficult for us. We can't make mistakes like that against such a strong team.''
The Dutch struggled with the serve and made 41 unforced errors compared to 22 for the Canadians.
The turning point was in the third set as Canada scored six straight points to overcome a16-19 deficit which included consecutive blocks by Louis-Pierre Mainville and Adam Simac and a Schmitt service ace which tied the set at 19-19.
Schmitt was the catalyst again in the fourth with two straight kills to pull the Canadians to 14-14 after trailing the set to that point.
''We showed a lot of character,'' said Winters. ''They let us off the hook with their serves and we knew we could get back in the game. The third set was a huge momentum shift.''
Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag said he wasn't surprised the match was close.
''This is like an Olympic-caliber tournament,'' he said. ''I'm expecting tough matches every night. Our offence was becoming too predictable going into the third and Louis-Pierre and Olivier (Faucher) came in late in the sets and they did the job.''
Dutch coach Edwin Benne was pleased to see his young team perform at such a high level.
"It was a high level game,'' said Benne. ''It was physical on both sides. I'm not happy with the loss, but I'm very happy with the level of play."
The two countries meet again on Saturday at the Colisee at 4 p.m. (Live on Sportsnet)

Few cities in the world have inspired poets, writers, and filmmakers in the powerful way that Rome has. The Italian capital has accumulated a collection of nicknames that point at the importance of this city in the history of Western culture. The eternal city, the capital of the world, the city of fountains, and the city of God are some of the titles given to this magical city. There are now many affordable flights to Romedeparting from the UK, so why not choose this city as your next holiday destination?
There are two airports in the vicinity of Rome. Ciampino International airport is located 8 miles south of the city centre and operates many low cost flights to Rome from other European capitals. Several coach companies run buses linking the airport and Rome Termini station, including Terravision and SIT Bus Shuttle, which offer one-way fares starting at €6. Once in Termini station, you will be able to transfer to the rail and bus network. The trip between the airport and Termini takes 40 minutes. It is also possible to take a local bus from the main terminal building to Anagnina underground station. The bus/underground combination will cost you €3 and might be a good option if you are travelling light.
Fiumicino airport is 20 miles away from the city. Cheap flights to Rome usually arrive at terminal 2, from where you can walk to the airport's train station and reach Termini in 30 minutes. For under €3, you can also take a bus to the underground stations at Magliana and Cornelia for onward connections to the city. Note that both airports enforce a flat-fare taxi rate, so a taxi ride should not cost more than €48 to or from Fiumicino or €30 to or from Ciampino.
There is so much to see and do in Rome that you will need to plan your visit if you don't want to miss out on the main landmarks. Touring through the impressive remains of ancient Rome is a must. You might have seen pictures of the Colosseum, the catacombs, or the Pantheon, but seeing these architectonic wonders in real life is a memorable experience. It is useful to know that the Rome Archaeological card can be booked online and gives you access to the top-10 attractions in ancient Rome without having to queue.
Don't forget to include a couple of museums in your itinerary (one of them should be the Galleria Borghese), and remember that wandering without a specific destination in mind is one of the greatest pleasures in any visit to Rome. Last but not least, explore the magnificent Italian gastronomy and indulge in its famous pasta and pizza recipes, and in the flavours of real Italian coffee and wine.

Edit: Actually it should be OVA 9 not 8 could a mod change that for me.
I just stumbled into this. This was part of the DVD package with the Shippuden movie 5 Blood prison (which I haven't watched yet lol).
This is set in the Sand village just before the 4th Ninja war and they are holding Chuunin exams which Naruto and Konohamru are participating. I know someone is going to ask but this is just a fictional side story and has no real connection to the real story so don't worry about trying to make sense of it timeline wise.
- Overall this was pretty good.
Anyways I wont spoil the details for you enjoy: Naruto Shippuden OVA 9
Also Baka!

If winter left your plants in a frozen mess, take heart! The Jefferson County Master Gardener Spring Plant Sale and Market Day is around the corner. Everything you need to get your garden glorious again will be offered. Our Master Gardeners have been celebrating spring with this very popular plant sale for as far back as 2007, according to Peggy Coleman of Texas Agri-Life. She adds that the event may even date back further than that.
Tony Pereira, research assistant professor in civil engineering at Lamar University, is presenting a free workshop on how to start an organic garden Saturday, Oct. 20, from 1-3 p.m. at Basic Foods in Beaumont.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

"Our beautiful parks are one of the key economic drivers in our state, and Governor Herbert did the right thing in working out an agreement with the Department of the Interior. It's only fair and right for the state to be reimbursed for picking up the federal government's slack. I hope Majority Leader Reid will bring this bill up for a vote soon so Utah taxpayers can be reimbursed.

Impromptu Return of Headshots: July 24th
Dimitri Filipovic
July 24 2013 04:17PM
For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, our "Headshots" series is a staple here at Canucks Army. We essentially use it as a platform to shine a light on good, insightful work done by the various blogs and writers that make up the Smylosphere on a daily basis. It's also a tool - for fans that may have been away from their computer throughout the day - that can be used to catch up on all of the day's most important happenings. It's essentially a links dump, with bits of commentary provided in-between.
Now, if you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably noticed that our "Headshots" series has been on a summer hiatus in recent weeks; in fact, the last one came nearly a month ago, on June 28th. The reason for that is that relevant news has simply been few and far between in the past month. It'll likely continue to be that way through the end of August, so don't expect it's permanent return until then. But for today, we've made an exception with there being some recent developments worth discussing.
Read past the jump for more on today's Canucks news, and some links.
The Canucks held their annual "summer summit" last night inside the friendly confines of Rogers Arena, as the likes of Mike Gillis, John Tortorella, Victor de Bonis, and Bill Daly answered questions from the team's season ticket holders. In case you weren't able to follow along last night, we've got you covered with a relatively succinct summary of all of the key talking points.
One of the questions that came up had to do with the open roster spots, and the remaining moves to be made by Gillis. He was quick to point out that he expected all three of the team's most important restricted free agents - Jordan Schroeder, Dale Weise, and Chris Tanev - to be signed to contracts very soon. Well, it turns out that he wasn't kidding. The team announced that they've come to terms with both Weise (1 year, $750k) and Schroeder (1 year, $600k), leaving Tanev as the lone remaining priority.
I found Weise's comments in Jim Jamieson's post (linked above) to be rather interesting. I totally buy that he believes in his head that he could be destined for a big year in the team's top-9, that will get him a heftier contract next summer. Unfortunately, I don't think that's all that realistic. But hey, he's still a useful player on the 4th line, and considering he's making the same amount as one Tom Sestito, things could be worse (though that probably speaks more to Sestito's deal than anything else). And he's just about to turn 25 years old, so the idea of him improving as a player isn't out of the question.
I'm a big fan of the Schroeder deal. The Canucks are in a cap bind, and they just secured themselves their 3rd line centre for quite a team friendly price. Schroeder had an interesting year last season, as he showed impressive flashes in spurts while being yo-yo'd to and fro. Some stability, and last year's experience, should do wonders for him. Yet the fact still remains that he has to be considered the favourite to get buried in John Tortorella's infamous doghouse this season (with Alex Edler probably coming in 2nd).
In other news, word broke today that Roberto Luongo has decided to switch agents, as he dropped former agent Gilles Lupien in favour of JP Barry and Pat Brisson. I've seen people try to make a big deal of this, hypothesizing that it's a sign he's trying to get out of the current situation he's in. Jason Botchford - who knows a thing or two - has held firm with his belief that Luongo still wants out of Vancouver, even after the Schneider trade and the coaching change. This could support that, or it could mean absolutely nothing. I hate speculating on such things without having any inside knowledge on the matter.
For what it's worth, it's a distinct possibility that Luongo dropped Lupien because he was sick and tired of being associated with a guy whose Wikipedia page reads: "Gilles is one of professional hockey's top agents, representing stars such as Steve Bernier.."
And finally, probably the biggest news coming out of last night's summit was the news that Pavel Bure's number 10 will be going up into the rafters at some point next season. This news lit a fire under Jeffler (whose work can routinely be found over at Leafs Nation), who graced this blog with his presence in the form of a guest post. A pleasant surprise.
Oh yeah, Yann Sauve - our 16th ranked prospect last summer - was re-signed by the team as well. Fun fact: at no point was there any sort of inclination felt to write up a post solely dedicated to this news this morning. Mostly because I think only Sauve's friends and family would actually take the time to read it.

Sigh* Jordan Schroeder as our third line center equals the end of our team being a contender.
@ Bertthetank
You think Schroeder as, maybe, our 3rd line centre indicates we're no longer contenders? It couldn't have been being, essentially, swept out of round 1 for 2 years in a row, could it?!
I don't mind the Schroeder signing. Cheap and he has upside. He isn't destined for line 3 so who knows.
Schroeder is a low risk signing: he plays well, great, we have a player who is playing well. He doesn't, well, he's making 600k, one of the lowest salaries on the team.
Schroeder's contract is one-way, correct?
What is the requirement for someone to have to pass through waivers to be sent down to the AHL, and who is exempt from waivers?
I am surprised they resigned Sauve. Do they see a possibility of him being an NHL player to resign him?
I'd read the Yann Sauve post. And at no time have I been nor will I be Sauve's friend or family...any idea what the terms were?
I'm a Sauve hopeful too. I never think he's playing badly when I see him play, which is supposed to be good for a defenseman, isn't it?
July 24 2013, 10:43PM
Sauve had a horror season in Chicago and Kalamazoo. Made bad reads, played with zero confidence even when given a chance. To say he'd plateaued would be a compliment. As I tweeted earlier, his re-signing is very much about where he's been, not as much about where he is most recently. Talent remains, but can he take it forward?
Also, now that the team is running its own AHL squad, veterans are at a premium.
I'm happy he's getting another year to show what he can do, he's still a no-risk gamble, and could still become an NHLer at some point. Obviously he's not an NHL-level player right now. I'm glad management agrees that he still has potential.
Luo's only change in the management is for endorsements and possibly whispering sweet nothing's into the management of Team Canada. These guys are great at what they do and what they do is what every self reecting hockey player doesn't do. Complain, back slap, arm twist and threaten! The good thing is a contract is a contract no matter who your agent is and Team Canada is not going to invite a Goalie to camp that is holding out for a trade. Luo will go on a happy fun tour, collect a lot of new endorsements with his new found Strombone1 personality and just make more money. That's what agents do, because they make more money.
Victor de Bonis is the villain from each of the Die Hard movies, and also that Steven Segal movie with the train and such.
I think there was atleast potential with last years roster (Roy as a 3C) to get back to the cup. With Schroeder as 3C that means Kesler will play almost entirely defensive minutes in order for Schroeder to get the soft minutes. Sure his cap hit is nice but that doesn't help him win faceoffs, or produce against weak competition.
This team doesn't live or die by its 3rd line centre. The bigger concern for fans should be how the new coaching staff affects the special teams.
We were only 22nd on the power play, which used to be our bread an butter. Malhotra had no effect on the PP, Schroeder can actually have a positive effect on the 2nd unit PP.
Conversely, with no Malhotra and almost no Kesler last year the PK was not that bad at 8th in the league. Given the strengths of the coaching staff (i.e. defensive hockey) we should be fine on the PK.
We all want more offence, Schroeder is an offensive player. Let's see how this works out before we dump on management.
Roy has been sliding even when he was in Dallas. I doubt he'll put up big numbers anymore. He sure didn't for us.
There's nothing saying Schroeder doesn't get utilized in a different way. Perhaps he centres line 2 with Kes and Booth on the wings. Maybe he will centre line 3. Who knows. Wait and see.
Schroeder signed a contract.
While the cap friendly nature of the contract might give him a leg up on other guys, there's no reason to believe he is the frontrunner for the 3LC spot.
Based on what Gillis has said, it's likely either Richardson or Gaunce.
Well that's the point. If we have a defensively responsible 3C that opens the door for Kesler to play an offensive role. But I guess that doesn't fix your power play, which is why we'll be fighting for a playoff spot instead of fighting for 1st.
