"I liked the solid color of this shoe, which is why I ordered it. I was rathe disappointed when I got the shoes in my hand. I have always loved New Balance but I found these to be a lesser quality than I have ever seen from NB. They just felt cheap to me and very narrow. Very disappointed. I will be returning them ASAP."

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

text: To be completely honest ive given up on shippuuden, the animation is poor, and the episodes drag out. I was watching an old fight from the original Naruto between sasuke and oboro (rain guy from forrest of death).. and that had more effort in it than the 4 tails vs orochimaru fight. also considering its not a very important fight. Not to mention all the awesome fights we've seen in the first naruto series and the effort they put into the amount of frames, dynamic and fresh angles, and fight choreography. What have we seen in Shippuuden.. Naruto-Sakura vs Kakashi (average), Guys team vs Kisame (pathetic), Kakashi team vs Itachi (pathetic), Sakura-Chiyoba vs Sasori (there was an awesome series of scenes when chiyoba had her 10 puppets out), need I mention the rest... point being that the quality of the sho has significantly dropped..anyways i herd that its because theres a different production company working on shippuuden.. Koreans?

Comments: The concern I had with this bait were the soft fins & whether or not I would have to replace them constantly but I've had the bait for close to 2 years & still haven't had to replace them just wanted to let people know in case they had the same concern. It is a great bait.
From: Brandon: PA 9/15/16
Comments: I'm about to order a couple of these swim sits & was wondering what size n brand treble hooks do you guys recommend replacing the originals with? Thank you and looking forward to using them
From: D: Los Banos, CA 5/9/16
Comments: Don't hesitate to use this bait if you're going to use it for bass fishing. It catches quality fish and covers a lot of water due to its size. Unbelievable action as well.

From: Christian: Lake City, FL 6/13/15
Comments: This are great. I caught my first swimbait fish on the spro. Which was a while ago. I have seen fish follow this bait all the way to the shore many times. I love this bait but I don't throw it as much. I would throw it a lot more if it was 8 inches. I am planning on getting the 8 inch. My friend has the 8 inch BBZ and catches hogs. I prefer you get this bait before moving on to the 8 inch.

Comments: I have the SS Wicked Perch . I have picked up more 4 1/2 to 5 lb. Bass this spring . I threw it for the first time in a shallow cove for fun . I got a hit , first 4.5 . Put a half dozen more in the boat in the weeks that followed . Lost the lure when my line snapped at the hook on a cast . Now 50lb braid only . I went out the next day and bought the last one. I also ordered the Sexy Lavender Shad in the fast sink. Great lures for sure
From: Steve: Casco, ME 5/29/14
Comments: I finally picked up my bbz and started throwing it. IT was a financial decision. I had lost too many hudds and ragos to a rock bottom that I figured if I was going to lose a bait, it might as well be a 20 dollar bait. Well, landed the biggest fish of my life. fat 7 lber. 2 days later I did it again. One time on a perch the other a hering pattern. The 6 in bbz is my confidence lure. Switch out the hooks, or atleast the back hook, that seems to be where i get bit. I used owner stx salwaters and havent had a problem yet.
From: Fantasia: USA 4/24/14
Comments: After buying this swimbait for a couple months. I finally got to try it, first few cast a big momma came and striked it but a missed hook set. My adrenaline rushed and it got me more hyped up to use it. After casting it more another big momma came and hooked on it and but sadley it got off due to bad hook set then afterwards casting it a bit to hard, the line snapped. Definitely getting more!
From: Alex: Colcord, OK 4/21/14
Comments: I have the SS Wicked Perch, i've already had a few lookers and takers with it, couldn't be more happy with it's performance! definitely worth the buy i'd say! i will be getting more in the future, only downside is it hurts the bank, but that goes for any quality swimbait pretty much haha
From: Stephen: Manchester, CT 3/31/14
Comments: Prefer it over the 8 in. wicked perch and herring are killer in new england water. change out the hooks, or atleast the front one. I replaced mine with owner stx saltwaters and i havent missed since.
From: Fantasia: USA 3/26/14
Comments: Up in Minnesota on a rainbow and brown trout stocked lake this bait smashes the pike and bass. Let it sink off drop offs and fish it slow with a few twitches here and there. Caught a nice 36 inch pike on it and two 5lb bass in about 50 minutes. Excellent lure by Spro.
From: MO: MN 3/15/14
Comments: this bait in wicked perch hammers largemouth,smallmouth,pike and pickerel truly the best swim action ive seen on any swimbait. its simple if you want a beast of a fish toss this bait
From: Matt: Northwest CT
Comments: Great Bait use the 6" in Canada for northern pike it really catches them. Brings us lots of large fish.
From: Lester: Sturgeon Bay, WI
Comments: Bought the floating trout color to throw in our local reservoir for striped bass this Fall, but will also use it in the Cali Delta. Had to return the swimbait the first time because it sank on first cast. No worries...TW gave me a return label to mail it back the next day and got me a new one a day later. TW's customer service is the best hands down. Thank You!
From: Jon: Hayward CA
Comments: this lure is great i got the trout floater and iv only fushed it once but i caught 23 bass in 3hours with a 8 pound kicker i also got a bunch if 5,6,7 pounders it is awsome! (Sharpen your hooks)
From: Austin: Westlake, CA US
Comments: this bait is great. i live in mass and fished this bait for the first time. i caught 7 bass ranging from 1-4 pounds i even caught two fish on the same cast one on the front treble and one on the back. i also had a 5+ lbs fish on but it shook off the treble hooks are not that great. this was all in 2 hours cant wait to try this bait again.
Comments: Amazing bait.... horrible hooks, lost three fish over 5lbs One of them being 8+ Do yourself a huge favor an throw on some better hooks. Unless you enjoy watching trophy bass headshaking the bait right off
From: Tyler: Plymouth, MA
Comments: Found this $20 lure on the weeds and used it up at lake cuyamaca, once i found the fish i caught an 8lb ,6&1/2 and a 5 lber all within 10 mins! my adrenalin was pumping and i casted it too hard and I lost it, waiting for another so I catch more giants! the bait swims amazing too!
From: Kyle: Chula Vista, CA, USA
Comments: I love the swimming action on this lure! It's aldo easy to do a directional change (that's a great way to make a follower bite). I agree with Kyle: A Baby Bass color would be AWESOME!
From: Marco: Portugal
Comments: Huge smallmouth, big largemouth. The BBZ-1 Spro Swimbait does serious damage up here in the PacNW. An incredible swimming motion, strong hardware and simply one of the best swimbaits on the market. Slow roll it over points and wait for the crack!
From: Daniel: Spokane, WA
Comments: These things are money in the bank, without breaking the bank. It's not a Rago Tool, but it isn't some cheapo swimbait either. I have only owned the Floaters, but have landed many fish with them, mostly fishing over grassbeds. Very good weight to throw, I fish it on a Heavy rod and 7:1:1 reel, 65lb Braid since it's a floater. I mostly fish them in smaller lakes, but this summer I stuck a 4+ Spot on Lanier on it. The Lavender Shad is the best color I have fished, Bill if you are reading this, tell SPRO to make em in Baby Bass!
From: Kyle: Roswell, GA
Comments: This lure is SICK! Great bait for night shore fishing. Me and a friends have been landing some solid LMB at a local lake.
From: Adconx: Fresno, CA
Comments: great cheap bait
From: USA
Comments: I pulled a nice 5+lber out of my local lake last night around 7:30pm from shore. Was throwing the BBZ1 6" sexy shad floater. Slow rolling it with a few small twitches mixed in! Threw it a good 40yards out, rolled it by a patch of reeds and BAM! Hit less than 5yards from me! A GREAT LURE!
From: Andrew: Santa Rosa, CA
Comments: This are nice baits, i love the baits, they work great, use the right one for your body of water. I have floater and it swims great, hope the man upgrades it in future. It is classic bait!!! Good fishing to you forever!
From: Alex: Kansas
Comments: this swimbait is awsome. they swim so nice and they are strong. both blue herring and sexy lavender shad are good but every once in a while i will throw the rainbow trout color and get a trout or two for fun. these baits are one of thoughs got to get baits so get them and catch fish.
From: David: Cali
Comments: Bot the Blue Herring & Sexy Lavender Shad. These swim so so nice. SUPER STRONG TO
From: Sonny: East Wareham, MA
Comments: Great lures. I fish alot of ponds and lake. These lures are great(especially the floater) I actually hold my largest catch on this bait 12.1 lbs on the sexy lavender shad. Reccomended for every swimbait angler.
From: Rider: Alva, FL
Comments: Great lure! I asked for it before Spro came out with it. When I learned it was coming from the Staff I was stoked! It was every bit of the lure I expected it to be! First time out with it I hooked an 8lb and a 4lb largemouth! Get the fast sink model! Both the BBZ 6" and 8" are flat out AMAZING lures. Hold on to your rod!
From: Tacklejunkie: Southern California
Comments: Perfect size swim-bait for first time users. I have all the 8" BBZ1 but those can be intimidating to throw. With this i don't need heavy equipment and i'm able to throw all day long without paying for it the next day. I caught a nice 5 lbs bass the first day i used this. Fish it slow and hold on to your rod.
From: Bert: Elk Grove, CA
Comments: Just bought one of these baits in the sexy lavender shad and i love it . it has a great swimming action and i'm looking forward to using it.
From: Lucas: Glasgow, KY
Comments: Great swiming action. If you want a swimbait that you just cast out and reel in and catch fish all day, then this is the lure for you. I have gotten fish that I was sceptical about using bigger bait because here in MI bass don't get too big. But this lure catches them all, even fish that weigh around one pound have been caught, and for the price, its unbeatable
From: Jacob: Milan, MI
Comments: i like this lure a lot in the blue herring color at lake of the ozarks. i have a ton of followers but i still caught most of them but i did lose what look like an eight pounder at the boat though.
From: Ben: Missouri, USA
Comments: I love this swimbait, it's the perfect size and weight for a medium action rod. The only problem I have is the hooks, fish seem to spit them out too easily, so I switched them out with VCM hooks that are bent in a little they are also sharper than the stock hooks. I highly recemend this swimbait.
From: Christopher: Sounderton, A
Comments:BBZ Spro 6" & 8" are top producers. I fish stripers and catch many with these great realistic swimbaits. Only problem is the hooks that come with them - They will bend out on stripers and all my friends that fish them will throw them away immediately and put Owners on them. I don't understand why such a great swimbait comes with such weak hooks. Sure they are sharp, but put some pressure on a decent striper and goodbye fish. Again, it is an excellent swimbait that deserves better.

There is an explosive spark of life-affirming Jewish energy still percolating in Shanghai, China this week, following our just-concluded four-day "Destination Shanghai" experience. Only 18 months after establishing a modest contemporary foothold in mainland China, JDC has nurtured a setting in which a major international Jewish educational conference became an exciting reality.
In a year marking the 70th anniversary of the Hongkou ghetto, where Jews who'd fled Nazi Europe lived out the war under Japanese occupation, one can only imagine what JDC's Laura Margolis and the Shanghai refugees she helped care for would say if they could only feel this new enthusiasm.
The novelty of holding an international Jewish life and learning event with nearly 200 participants from China, India, Singapore, Japan, the UK, and the US—including a global cohort of young adult activists organized by JDC Entwine—in the unlikely setting of China's main commercial metropolis attracted the attention of the Jewish media (see articles in eJewishphilanthropy and the Jerusalem Post) even before the week's activities got under way.On the surface, East Asia would not seem to exhibit the characteristics normally identified with JDC's classic role as a responder to basic humanitarian needs. But JDC's core values and operational strengths actually have surprisingly much to contribute here, and East Asia provides an arena for JDC as the torchbearer for global Jewish responsibility, a role much in evidence throughout Destination Shanghai.
The economic dynamism of China and the region's five other leading economies has brought an increasing, if transient, population of young Jews to East Asia; over the next 10 years, perhaps as many as 40-50,000 are likely to spend a short but very formative period of their lives in this area of the world. JDC, by providing diverse and creative opportunities to connect them, even here, to the global Jewish world, can well have a significant impact on how they choose to be Jewish, moving forward.
Though many, even perhaps the vast majority, of these young people generally do not seek out the organized Jewish community, now that they have been sought out by JDC, some are finding themselves instant leaders of the more fluid, "virtual" types of activities of which Destination Shanghai was the latest expression.
An outgrowth of the fact finding, policy planning, and pilot initiatives of JDC's Africa/Asia department, and implemented under its supervision and guidance, this major regionwide Jewish happening was run almost entirely by volunteers. Jeanine Buzali, one of JDC Entwine's young Jewish Service Corp Fellows, led a local task force that she herself established and recruited, ably assisted over the past two months by Ralph I. Goldman Fellow Shaun Goldstone.
Not only did this volunteer team not exist 12 months ago, but it would be fair to say that almost none of its members had any ongoing active connection to Jewish life prior to making contact with our Jewish Service Corps Fellow and enjoying her constant flow of fascinating "boutique" Jewish activities.
A milestone along the way happened last year when the first-ever Limmud China took place (literally) on the Great Wall of China outside Beijing, attended by 100 participants and drawing on small teams of activists from Beijing and Shanghai, in cooperation with Kehilat Beijing and Limmud International.
That one-day event set the stage for this year's four-day happening, which incorporated a two-day Limmud conference held in Qibao, a water town on the outskirts of Shanghai; a Shanghai community Shabbaton; and a day dedicated to Shanghai's World War II Jewish history, with a seminar on global Jewish responsibility and the role of JDC that was staged in the former ghetto, in what is now the government-run Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. JDC's current work in Japan and Indonesia was a focus of that discussion, which helped to engage people in our broader humanitarian efforts.
While we'd initially assumed that the Limmud China content would have to be provided from without, in reality the majority of its 50+ workshops and sessions (including children's program, movies, and a concert by the appropriately named "Yid Yang" band) were presented by East Asia locals of all stripes and hues! And the offerings were a spirited, eclectic mix:
Professor Pan Guan, Director of the Shanghai Center for Jewish Studies (there are, believe it or not, many thousands of Chinese students studying in 14 or so Institutes of Jewish Studies across China) spoke about the Chinese people and the Jews, while the Director of Security at the Israel Consulate provided lessons in kickboxing and self-defense. Anna Greenspan, a philosopher interested in urbanism and digital culture who teaches at NYU Shanghai gave us "Shanghai Future, Modernity Remade;" while Anna Sophie Loewenberg talked about the making of her internet series, a Jewish version of "Sex in the City" set in Beijing; and Rebecca Kanthor, media journalist and Limmud China program chair, discussed the challenges and dilemmas of raising a culturally double identity child. And if none if that appealed, participants could always attend the Chinese and Jewish pickle-making workshop, an ever popular choice!
Networking was a central theme of Destination Shanghai, and it is a concept that underpins our work with communities and young adults throughout East Asia. For younger adults as individuals, the world of social networking is the world they inhabit. But networking is also important at the community level, especially in East Asia, where all Jewish communities are small and isolated and JDC works to nurture an environment of mutual assistance.
The partnership and generous support of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Philanthropic Network was an essential ingredient in Destination Shanghai's success, providing travel and participation subsidies to some 40 young people from throughout the region so they could make it to Shanghai. Seth Cohen, who directs the Schusterman networking initiative, assisted the Shanghai planning team and presented at the conference, and the regionwide connections nurtured here this past week will carry the spirit of global Jewish responsibility forward in this area of the world for many years to come.
Africa/Asia Department Senior Project Director Simon Caplan has responsibility for developing JDC's work in East Asia.

For the company Bianor (awards winning mobile developers) I wrote a guest blog on mobile's place within Reverse Innovation.
The concept of Reverse Innovation can be applied or can be at least understanding to the emerging TV app market as well.
As described on Wikipedia, reverse innovation is:
A term referring to an innovation seen first, or likely to be used first, in the developing world before spreading to the industrialized world.
Mr. Govindarajan elaborates in the Bloomberg article that it's not only needed to capture growth in emerging markets, but also to fuel growth in home- and developed markets.
Thus as he puts it: "The oxygen for future growth".
When can Reverse Innovation add value to the TV applications market?
The TV app industry finds itself in the pioneering / introduction phase of the Industry Life Cycle. Meaning right now the need for Reverse Innovation might seem low, but from a strategic and growth point of view, certain amount of attention should be given.
Another reason for appropriate attention is the application of the Power Curve dynamics on the industry. If companies can become first runner in their niche, the bigger the inequality can become with the rest of the competitors/market landscape. Inequality in this case refers to market share, revenue and so on.
A good example is Google. Biggest market share in terms of search engine activity and a more than proportional/average share of the market's revenue.
According to Treacy and Wiersema's Value Disciplines model, Product Leadership companies are strong in innovation and brand marketing, operating in dynamic markets.
Taking into account the image at the left (taken from Innovation and R&D Management), entrants account for the largest part of product innovation, from there on it is Process R&D (in terms of Life Cycle it's in a Mature phase, heavier competition, decreasing margins etc).
In this yet-to-be defined market, companies should strive for Product Leadership and put its stamp on their niche / market with their products. Good example here is Apple.
Does Reverse Innovation apply to one-screen and/or also two- and three-screen (companion) applications?
This depends on the value proposition of the company and country dynamics in their usage of devices.
In this article examples are given which conditions affect consumer adoption.
Another consideration is the technological advancement of devices/infrastucture.
Mobile TV for instance will grow substantially in India due to the lack of other infrastructures. This doesn't mean the mobile technology/devices are ready to support any advanced TV app.
To add, smartphone penetration is on overall still relatively low which impacts the development of two- or three screen TV experiences.
Are apps essentially the same, no matter the geo-location?
Right now they are, pioneering phases do not yet show the refined differentiations in developments or user experiences.
Experiences are tend to be kept the same, Miso CEO Somrat Niyogi explained this as well in the interview with AppMarket, differentiating only when particular devices have unique features which can alter the experience.
As the app market will mature, all sorts of refinements will play a more important role. An earlier article, Dynamics of Interaction and Social TV Experience Architecture, fits in this when it comes to the TV experience refinements.
Interaction dynamics (culturally/societally defined) are just one aspect which can alter applications.
Can Reverse Innovation be applied to the emerging TV app market?
Media convergence and multiplatform experiences are challenging the companies due to the amount of preconditions and factors that need to be taken into account. Continents differs, from a culturally and technologically point of perspective.
Though, China and other countries in Asia are hotbeds to penetrate and create revenue.
Consumerism and media consumption are increasing and the TV applications will be a big chunk of it.
Asia by 2015 - 400 Million Digital TV Homes With 40 Million On IPTV, Revenues Will Top $40bn, says enough?
Taking and applying learnings from these markets into home markets are also executed by companies like Proctor & Gamble, Nokia and Microsoft.
Why should companies explore Reverse Innovation?

BREAKING NEWS — An ancient Biblical text was recently discovered in the Egyptian desert that debunks a controversial piece of Christian Scripture. Scholars have been left scrambling how best to interpret a papyrus fragment containing a single verse — John 20:19.
This verse has long been a sticking point in Christian-Jewish relations. It reads as follows:
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. (John 20:19 — King James Version)Liturgical Christians traditionally read this passage on the Sunday after Easter at the start of the story of "Doubting Thomas" (John 20:19-31).The line "for fear of the Jews" has led to instances of anti-Semitic behavior perpetrated by Christians at various points in history. This, coupled with the Passion Narrative from John's gospel, has led some Christians to the conclusion that it was "the Jews" who crucified Jesus. Indeed it wasn't until the 1960′s that the Roman Catholic Church officially repudiated this assertion.This newly discovered fragment appears to further dispel the notion of Christians being afraid of "the Jews" following the resurrection. Translated into English from the original Greek it reads:Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the juice…(italics added for emphasis).In other words, the early church was not afraid of "the Jews" at all but of "the juice."Scholars are currently holed up at the Vatican attempting to determine whether the offending juice was orange, apple, or pineapple. One viewpoint has emerged arguing that it was not fear of juice per se but rather of co-mingling combinations such as cranberry-grape or mango-guava. We also understand, from an anonymous source, that one prominent scholar is pushing a theory that the early Christians were not afraid of "the juice" at all but lived in dread of "the Juice" aka O.J. Simpson.Attempts to contact Jose Canseco for his opinion on whether this may involve Performance-Enhancing Drugs (aka "juice") have been unsuccessful.While we all await the final verdict, network television executives in America have, in an attempt to distance themselves from juice, banned advertising from Capri Sun, Tropicana, and Welch's. Complicating matters for liturgical leaders of denominations such as the Methodist Church is their use of grape juice at communion. When asked about their serving of juice during services, Methodist headquarters issued a blanket "no comment" statement.Stay tuned as this controversy continues to unfold.
***********This is, of course, no laughing matter and as Christians we cannot simply ignore these inferences when they arise in our Scriptures. My assistant, the Rev. Anne Emry, has written a brief blurb we like to run in our bulletins on this Second Sunday of Easter (see below). Feel free to use or adapt it in your own congregation or if you use something similar, consider sharing it. Thanks and continued Easter blessings to all.�The doors were locked for fear of the Jews.�Christianity has a difficult history which includes terrible persecution of Jewish people. It is important to clearly address how wrong it is, and how far from the teachings of Jesus. Know this: Jesus was a Jew and his followers were mostly Jews. The people he preached to, taught, and healed, were mostly Jews. He taught from the Jewish Scriptures and was executed by the Romans. Later historic struggles between Christian and Jewish communities, reflected in the Gospels, allowed anachronistic transfer of blame from the Romans to the Jews. Anti-Jewish violence and prejudice is intolerable. We must not force the Jews to lock their doors for fear of the Christians.

It's no surprise that this "super stylish Rabbi" wasn't exactly a coincidental street style gem. This guy's name is Saadya and he is hard at work, as Atrium reports, on a top secret menswear line due to drop soon. That explains his impeccable dressing, from the tailored wool overcoat and knotted plaid scarf to his saturated blue jeans, camel belt, and messenger bag. It's like he walked out the door in the morning photoshoot-ready. But one look at his facebook wall proves he has quite the taste in menswear (check out those "likes!"). Gentlemen of NYC, take note.

After spending the past few seasons bouncing around the Spanish LEB, Matias Nocedal has landed in LegaDue with Aurora Basket Jesi on loan from Caja Laboral Baskonia. Having seemingly been on the radar of scouts forever, Nocedal has certainly made the rounds as a European prospect. The Argentinian point guard has played at the Nike Hoop Summit, the Adidas Eurocamp in Treviso, a host of junior championships, and has even seen a few minutes in the Euroleague.
Averaging 8.8 points per-game this season next to former Georgia Tech wing B.J. Elder, Nocedal has been extremely efficient shooting from the perimeter in spot-up situations and scoring off the bounce when going one-on-one, but hasn't been functioning as Jesi's primary ball-handler. He's spent the vast majority of his minutes at the two spot since he is better at using his creativity to score than pass, gets a bit out of control at times, and is simply looking to score first when he attacks. Nocedal has improved his shot considerably over the years, but still likes to put his head down and attack the rim with reckless abandon. Though his forays into the paint sometimes results in a savvy pass to a cutting big man, more often than not, Nocedal attempts to finish his drives himself with an array of scoops and floaters.
An extremely active defender, Nocedal is limited on both ends of the floor by his skinny frame, and while he shows very good quickness, he lacks the physical profile and explosiveness to effectively play the shooting guard spot at the NBA level making his lack of experience as a lead guard that much more significant. There's no doubting Nocedal's potential in the European game, and consistent minutes in Lega Due should be a nice stepping stone for him, but he has yet to emerge as the NBA caliber prospect some expected him to develop into earlier on in his career, and at this point, it's unlikely that he will.
Though he didn't play many minutes, Matias Nocedal displayed impressive tools as a point guard during his 13 minutes of play. Physically, the guard displayed impressive quickness and solid all-around athleticism, as well as a tight handle. The Argentinean has a nice feel for the game as well, displaying the ability to create for others on the pick and roll, as well as the vision to find the open shooting with the draw and kick.
As a scorer, Nocedal has somewhat unorthodox mechanics on his jumper, but shoots it with a very quick release and impressive accuracy. With the ball in his hands, he plays with a certain Argentinean flare, especially with the very flashy passes he shows the capability of making. Despite his quickness and physical tools, we really didn't see him finishing anything at the rim at all this week, and it would be nice to see him develop some type of mid-range game as well.
It will be quite interesting to watch Nocedal progress as a player with Tau Ceramica in Spain. It's tough to say how much of a prospect he is for the NBA at this point, as it seems way too early to draw any type of definitive conclusions. If he really continues to develop as a scorer and mature with his ability to run a team, he could turn into a very nice prospect down the road.
Currently sharing the floor with Nunes, Matias Nocedal arrived to Merida a few weeks ago. We had the chance to watch his debut in LEB Bronze, perhaps not the best situation to evaluate a player, but we wont likely have any other for the remainder of the season.
Logically, Nocedal often looked a bit out of place, still in the process of merging with his teammates. He played both guard positions, but apparently will primarily fill the point guard spot. Beyond his normal struggles given the fact that hes new to the team, Nocedal again exposed his current limitations as a playmaker. Hes not a consistent distributor and game director. He didnt create much offense for his team, and didnt always take good decisions. Hes a rather explosive player who can easily take his opponents off the dribble, but he would often find himself unsure about how to follow his slashing move, not finding his teammates fluidly, and sometimes running into dead-ends.
However, he did also left plenty of intrigue. Besides his ability to easily beat his match-ups relying on his athleticism and ball-handling, Nocedal looked good shooting from behind the arc, and showcased his remarkable off-the-dribble ability with his jumper, connecting on a wild mid-range attempt. He also showed his athleticism finishing a cut with a layup high off the glass and especially with an aggressive put-back dunk as he attacked the offensive glass storming in from the perimeter. He also looked good in transition, dishing a few excellent passes. Defensively, he had some troubles against the very quick American point guard he had to defend for some stretches, so he might need to work a bit on his lateral quickness.
Theres nothing much more to say. Only that he can really benefit from this stint in Merida, earning valuable experience that should allow him to mature as a point guard and settle his game down.
Matias Nocedal has been relocated in the LEB-Bronce (Spanish fourth division), where he will end the current season. The Argentinean guard, whose rights are owned by Tau Vitoria, enjoyed very little playing opportunities in Bruesa, one of the strongest squads in the extremely competitive LEB-Oro (Spanish second division). Indeed he had played less than 60 minutes in 11 games, totaling 17 points. Still, he often didnt look bad at all coming off the bench as an energizer, but its true that he wasnt the most reliable presence on court for a team whose sole objective is to promote to the ACB. He will now enjoy more playing time, although against significantly inferior competition. Actually, he already made his debut with Merida this past weekend, spending over 27 minutes on the court to end up with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.[Read Full Article]
There's apparently quite a big void alter the current Argentinean generation that has been delighting basketball fans around the world for some years now. Nobody seems to enjoy truly great potential, nobody except this 16-year-old gem called Matias Nocedal. Signed through a very long contract with Tau Vitoria, he took part in the Division B of the U-20 Circuit playing with AutoCid Burgos, since the Basque club doesn't have a team of its own in this competition.
A skilled and rather athletic combo guard, Nocedal is a very talented player with an excellent feel for the game. At this point, he's still a pretty wild guy who needs to learn the ropes of the playmaking. He's not a pure point by any means, but he displays nice tools and certainly has time to improve. He comes up with excellent and creative passes from time to time, either off the drive or from the perimeter, showing good court vision, but he's not a consistent distributor.
Quite strong for his age, showing a good frame for a guard and nice wingspan, the Argentinean often falls in love with his ball-handling skills and ability to beat opponents off the dribble. He's a very solid ball-handler with his right hand, but rather suspect with his left. Still, he's pretty explosive for his age, quite effective with crossover dribbles and shows excellent footwork on slashing moves (for example, he likes to split both defenders on pick and roll traps), so for him it's pretty easy to get into the lane. However, he often forces too much and runs into dead-end streets. On a positive note, he's a tough guy who can play off contact and also finishes with both hands near the basket (better with the right), although he releases his layups a bit too low, therefore easier to block.
A rather intriguing part of his game is his ability to knock down jumpers at his young age. For a guy with his slashing abilities and physical gifts, it's refreshing to see that he doesn't only rely on them. Although he needs to gain some consistency from the arc, Nocedal displays nice form and is pretty consistent shooting off-the-dribble.
To sum up, Nocedal displays a nice array of skills to work with, while his biggest weaknesses are nothing that maturity and work shouldn't be able to fix up to certain extent.

The high-flying Brumbies take on the lowly Kings when the tournament newbies make their first trip to the Australian capital.
The high-flying Brumbies take on the lowly Kings when the tournament newbies make their first trip to the Australian capital.
Having lost just one game thus far, the tournament leaders will be out to bag maximum points against a team that are second-last on the table and who have won just once this season.
The Kings' sole victory came in their opening round, but that's not to say they've been the whipping boys since then. Far from it in fact.
They've won plenty of respect and a few fans along the way after running the Sharks and Chiefs close in Port Elizabeth, and kept respectable scorelines away from home against the Crusaders and Hurricanes.
The Kings have also shown they can do more than just tackle, and have surprised many with some impressive five-pointers whilst on tour and certainly left Hurricanes fans chewing their fingernails for three quarters of the match.
With the struggling Rebels to follow after their visit to Canberra, Alan Soloman's troops will settle for any points they can get before they return to the comfort of Nelson Mandela Stadium.
Whether they can keep the pressure on for a second week running though against the Brumbies remains to be seen. The Kings have proved to be an unpredictable bunch, and one positive aspect of their play that has stuck out the most is their never-say-die attitude.
And the Brumbies, who escaped with a lucky 23-20 win over the Bulls last weekend, will do well not to take their next South African opposition lightly as they try to keep their lead on the overall ladder and in the Australian conference.
"The Kings have been able to score plenty of points this season and were right with the Hurricanes last week until the last 20 minutes of the game so there's no doubt they'll provide a big test for our team," said Brumbies coach Jake White.
The former Springbok coach continues to tinker his line-up to ensure he is using fresh players for their bid to make the finals. Amongst the several changes made by White is the return of Wallabies centre Pat McCabe, who has been injected straight into the starting XV despite playing just 30 minutes since November last year.
After this game, the Brumbies are away to the winless Highlanders and then the Reds – two crucial games which could define their season.
Prediction: Complacency appears to be the only factor standing in the Brumbies' way of victory. Other than that, all signs point to another Brumbies win… by 18 points!
The teams:
Brumbies: 15 Robbie Coleman, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Fotu Auelua, 7 George Smith, 6 Ben Mowen (c), 5 Etienne Oosthuizen, 4 Peter Kimlin, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Siliva Siliva, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Stephen Moore, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Sam Carter, 19 Colby Faingaa, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Andrew Smith, 22 Zack Holmes
Kings: 15 George Whitehead, 14 Sergeal Petersen, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Andries Strauss (c), 11 Ronnie Cooke, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Nicolas Vergallo, 8 Cornell du Preez, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Devin Oosthuizen, 5 Rynier Bernardo, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Grant Kemp, 2 Hannes Franklin, 1 Schalk Ferreira.

The Early Diagnosis Campaign was developed out of the need to eliminate delays in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) as identified by several PH registries established over the past decade.
The National Institutes of Health-sponsored Patient Registry for the Characterization of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (NIH-PPH) conducted in the early 1980s enrolled 187 primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) patients. This registry reported a mean time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis of 2.03 years ± 4.9 years (median 1.3 years). At the time of diagnosis, 71 percent of these patients were already suffering from advanced stages of the disease (functional class III or IV).
In 2006, the French National Registry of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) published results, reporting that out of 674 patients seen from 2002-2003, the mean delay between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 2.25 years. Similar to the NIH study, 75 percent of patients were suffering from advanced stages of PAH (functional class III or IV) at the time of diagnosis.
The Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Disease Management (REVEAL Registry) is the largest registry of patients with PAH and is analyzing data of 2,525 adult PAH patients between 2006 and 2007. The mean time from symptom onset to diagnostic right-sided heart catheterization (RHC) was 2.8 years ± 1.2 months (median 1.1 years). Much like the previous two studies, 73.6 percent of patients whose PAH was confirmed had advanced PAH at the time of the diagnostic RHC.
Despite the growth in pulmonary hypertension research and treatments in the past decade, there remains an unacceptably long delay from the onset of symptoms to an accurate PH diagnosis. The Early Diagnosis Campaign aims to shorten this time from symptom onset to accurate diagnosis for the well-being of the PH community.
