About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:35 PM GMT on October 21, 2012
A tropical wave embedded in a large trough of low pressure (Invest 99L) covers a large portion of the Central Caribbean between Hispaniola and the northern coast of South America. This storm has the potential to be a dangerous rainfall threat for Haiti, Jamaica, and eastern Cuba. The disturbance is headed west at less than 5 mph, is over very warm waters of 29°C, and is in a moist environment. 99L has a large area of heavy thunderstorms that have a good degree of spin. These thunderstorms are beginning to organize into spiral bands, as seen on visible satellite loops. However, the amount of heavy thunderstorm activity is about the same as yesterday, and there are no signs of a surface circulation. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate 99L this afternoon, but I expect this flight will be rescheduled for later.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Invest 99L.
Forecast for 99L
Wind shear is a low 5 - 10 knots, and is forecast to be in the low to moderate range, 5 - 20 knots, through Tuesday. This should allow for some steady development of 99L, and there has been a good deal of model support for 99L becoming a tropical depression by Wednesday. Steering currents favor a continued slow westward movement for 99L through Tuesday. On Wednesday, a strong trough of low pressure to the north of 99L is expected to turn the storm to the north or north-northeast, which should put 99L in the vicinity of Jamaica on Wednesday and Eastern Cuba on Thursday. By Friday, 99L should be in the Central or Eastern Bahamas. It is unclear at this point whether or not the trough pulling 99L to the north will be strong enough to pull the storm all the way out to sea to the northeast; a narrow ridge of high pressure has the potential to build in over 99L late this week and force the storm west-northwest, with a potential threat to the western Bahamas and U.S. East Coast by next weekend. In their 8 am EDT tropical weather outlook, NHC gave 99L a 70% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone by Tuesday morning. 99L will be capable of bringing heavy rains of 5 - 10 inches, with isolated amounts of up to 15 inches in mountainous areas, to Jamaica and Haiti, Monday through Wednesday. Heavy rains will begin on Tuesday in Eastern Cuba, and spread northwards into the Central and Eastern Bahamas by Wednesday.
Invest 90L in the middle Atlantic
A tropical wave (Invest 90L) about 830 miles east-northeast of the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands is headed west-northwest at about 10 mph. The disturbance has a small amount of heavy thunderstorms, as seen on visible satellite images, and has gotten tangled up with an upper-level low pressure system. This upper-level low is providing 90L the spin it needs to become a tropical cyclone, but is also pumping cool, dry air into the disturbance, which will keep any development slow over the next few days. Wind shear is a moderate 10 - 20 knots, and is forecast to remain in the moderate range until Tuesday. This may allow for some slow development of 90L before it encounters high wind shear of 20 - 30 knots on Tuesday night through Thursday. None of the reliable computer models develop 90L into a tropical cyclone, and it's unlikely that 90L will affect any land areas. In their 8 am EDT tropical weather outlook, NHC gave 90L a 30% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone by Tuesday morning.
The next name on the list of Atlantic tropical storms for 2012 is Sandy.

text: Hi everyone. Thanks so much for all the thoughts and concern. We had no power for 6 days! Actually I live on the NY/NJ border about 20 miles from NYC. Not really in the mountains - they didn't get it so bad up there! We had trees down everywhere and SUPER long gas lines. Our tree fell on our neighbor's house and did some damage (I feel so bad). We were freezing without heat- even my little dog was cold! Some people are still without power. My daughter's friend has been staying with us as we, at least, have a fireplace! Glad it's over - but a nor'easter (a vicious storm that hugs the coastline and comes straight north) is heading our way on Wednesday with winds up to 60 miles per hour and snow or freezing rain! I really hope we catch a break with that one!

Ed Clark, principal at the Cleveland Elementary told his school if they could raise $500 for a service project that he would shave off his mustache of 25 years.
The second grade class of Jodi Sitterud then went to work. They made posters telling what Mr. Clark would do and invited the whole school to participate in raising the money.
The service project chosen by the second grade class was to make blankets and gather stuffed animals, coloring books and crayons to donate to the children's justice center and women's shelter.
Cathy Anderson from the domestic violence coalition was on hand at the assembly to accept the gifts from the school and the second graders.
She told the school that sometimes situations arise where the children need some comfort items and she thanked the classes for their help. The second graders involved helped load the treasures in Anderson's car for transporting to the shelter.
Lori Huntington, peer helper director, had the opportunity to cut off the mustache. She shaved half off first and then the other half while the studentbody of Cleveland Elementary cheered their principal.
He said he would wait maybe a week and then he would start to grow it back as his face feels a bit bare and susceptible to the cold weather.
Altogether the students raised $520 for the project.

Bill Dew was born and raised in Utah. His father, a school teacher, taught him the importance of education and self reliance. With his wife Jolene, they raised their family in the Salt Lake Valley. Bill graduated from the University of Utah and served in the Army Reserve for almost a decade. After leaving the Army, Bill built a successful construction company, building homes across Salt Lake Valley, never once hiring an illegal immigrant in order to cut costs. In recent years, Bill and Jolene have conducted humanitarian work in the country of Jordan in the Middle East.
In Congress, Bill will use the same self reliance and hard work ethic that helped him succeed in business for 30 years. Bill understands the weight of taxes and high energy costs on businesses and families. He will fight to secure our borders against illegal immigration, cut taxes, rebuild our economy, drill for oil and end our dependence on foreign oil.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett has been a popular book club selection since it was first published. Many book groups are still patiently waiting their turn to receive the book. Book club copies are still scheduled out to groups until November 2012!!
The Help takes place in Mississippi in1962. It is the story of three women who form a friendship. Skeeter is from a well to do Mississippi family. She is in her early 20's and has just returned home after college graduation. All of her friends are married, they have children, and all are from well to do families. These young women grew up with black maids, and each now has a black maid taking care of her home and family. Skeeter gets together with her friends, meeting at their homes, watching how they treat their maids, and she does not like what she sees. She becomes friends with one of the maids named Aibileen, and talks her into telling her story, so that Skeeter can write a book about "the help". Eventually another black maid named Minnie comes forward to tell her story. Eventually many more come forward. Remember this is 1962 a scary time for these black women to come forward and tell their stories. Of course there is a lot more to the book, but I do not want to ruin it for anyone who has not read the book.
It is a wonderful book to read but also it was a wonderful book to make into a movie. The movie was released this summer. I was very excited to see it. I was so excited that I called a friend wondering if she had read the book. She had not. I happen to own a copy, and lent it to her so she could read it before we saw the movie. As all readers know the movie is never as good as the book, but I have to say I am not alone in thinking this movie is excellent and it followed the book. Comments I am hearing are : we loved it, the screen play was very accurate, casting was great, and one of the book clubs that went together to see it thought the movie was better then the book!! If you have not read The Help, I recommend that you do and also go see the movie with your best friends.

That's good! That should always be done ever so often! So what kind of work do you do or are you interested in?
So how have you been? How was your weekend?
When you are down, it can only get better!
That is a great thing that you are doing to help your husband with his business and good for you that you are already doing online classes, so you know exactly what I mean,
If I can ask waht kind of online classes are you taking and with what college, if I am being to nosey just let me know ok
The vet gave us a low dose of anxiety meds, but that didn't seem to work much. Besides, Esther doesn't always start things. She does most of the time, but there are times that Faith starts it. I guess she's like some people who don't want to forget until everything has come to a complete understanding! Most times, though, I find that she just pins Esther to the floor, but keeps on growling at her. Yet, Faith, though protective because of the type of dog that she is, can be quite gentle. For the two dogs to go to social classes, it would cost about $300 and that is something that we don't have at this point.

Thank you for asking I doing great. How are you?
that is good going to school for book keeping I could not do that because math is not exactly one of my greatest classes in high school. I know going to college at my age and getting a degree is a challenge but I am looking forward to it. you told me you are always on the go understand that, does your college that you are going to offer online classes since right now this is getting very popular, because a lot of people want to further their education. and if you can do it from home and pick the time to do your class work and set aside one hour a week for a live seminar or seminars why not, not having to worry about going to capus, fighting traffic, parking, and live classes, If you need help they have peer advisors that you email and your professor that you email.
since I do not have a job right now it works so I can look for a job everyday and do some class work everyday every week are new assignments etc just like a live college, enough blabbing about that ,
I hope all is well and your entire family is doing great
At first it was jealousy, but now that is not the issue. Faith was used to eating her food when she felt like it, but when Esther got her food done and found that Faith still had hers, she would start eating Faith's. We picked up the bowls and put them in separate rooms, so that takes care of that. My guess is that Esther has sensed something weak in Faith and now trying to take over. Faith is allergic to fleas and doesn't like to go out when she starts to shed. When Brielle was living, they were 6 years apart. When Esther came on board, there was three years difference between the two. Faith is a senior dog and Esther is still young with a lot to learn.
so you think she did a better job on your husbands picture huh was it a female drawer.
no problem at all, at times I do not write it the way it should be so people can understand it

Hi sis how are u iam doing good just home but iam cooking dinner how about you i love your drowing very nice!!
Iam studying criminal justice with Kaplan University online, and if you do move that is no problem because the only thing you will have to do is tell them that you are, being online doing class work is great because you can do your studies and homework when you want to, and once a week for one hour for a live seminar with the computer, check it out they have all kind of classes
Each dog wants to be the alpha or boss dog. Before it wasn't so bad, but now they are really fighting one another. Faith was brought up with another dog, but we had her since she was a puppy. Faith and Brielle had their skirmishes, but it wasn't anything that was that bad that they couldn't stop and go on, but Esther was brought here after Brielle was put down, and the first year they got along, but now they are really fighting and keeping them separate all day isn't fair to each of them. Someone has got to learn to stop fighting, and it doesn't look like it is going to be soon as they try to get at each other through the door. Perhaps if Esther was given to a family who only wanted a single dog in their home, everything would be better.
doing things like that has a good talent being able to draw freehand and with a live person
I'm Donna. My weekend was quiet. One of the dogs might have to go to the shelter. The shelter was closed on the weekend!

Mimi's Diva Dryer Hair Turban
- Overview
- Features
Mimi's Diva Dryer Hair Turban is so original, it's patented!
Stays on your head (with 1 brilliant little button!)
Real microfiber (a fancy word for super-absorbent!)
Dries hair fast (less blow-drying!)
- About the brand
Diva Dryer is made of Aquitex - a super-absorbent microfiber material that dries a girl's hair quicker than an ordinary towel. Dry your hair in half the time!
1. Tip your head forward and put on the turban...
2. Twist, twist, twist (and then twist some more...)
3. Flip the end over in one magnificent swoop...
4. Button and go girl!
Mimi's is dedicated to cutting your hair drying time with their unique towels. The ultra-absorbent Aquitex fabric used by Mimi's aids in damage prevention due to less drying time.
Stretcheddon't feel my hair dries faster wrapped inside the cloth. I have thin asian hair, if I can't feel the difference, I wonder anyone can.
The fabric is robe-like, nothing unique about it. Except since it's white, it looks like a old rag after couple uses. The elastic band is stretched, so now instead of wrapping my hair like a shower cap before i can twist it into a bun, it hung on my head like a rag. I still can wrap it around my head with the attached rubber band and button, but it shows the quality of the product. Still useable, but wouldn't recommend to anyone.Sep 1, 2015SandiHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Uncomfortable And Non-practicalI think the quality of this turban was good, however the design seems weird I couldnt get to use it properly, it seemed kind of short for my head size which I consider to be a medium size ... I couldnt get to button it up since it was short and it would pull my hair ... plus the elastic around it would make me uncomfortable like something putting a big pressure aorund my head ... as a whole, based on my experience I think this is not a practical product nor is comfortable and I didnt think it was more absorbant than other towels or turbans ... it is going backJan 4, 2011ZoHAIR TYPENormal Hair

Not Worth ItI was looking forward to this hair turban since I've used other brands in the past and was extremely happy to find out that it was made out of microfiber. However, it didn't live up to the hype. The construction is poor at best. The loop and the button aren't well aligned enough to get a comfortable and snug fit. It seems to pull your as you try to connect the loop with button which then leaves a part of your hair exposed, which defeats the purpose of using this as you want the hair areas covered and out of the way for ease of washing your face, applying your makeup, & etc. You can't even seem to use it as a shower cap as it doesn't sit tightly enough on dry hair. I would return this product if I could. I would go back to my original hair turbans from other retailers for much lower price.Dec 30, 2010LHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Skip to comments.Verdict: Maj. Nidal Hasan sentenced to death for Fort Hood shooting rampage
Posted on 08/28/2013 12:02:25 PM PDT by ken in texas
FORT HOOD U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan will be executed for the 2009 shooting rampage on post that left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded.
The jury panel of 13 U.S. Army officers delivered the verdict on post moments before 2 p.m. Wednesday. They deliberated for less than three hours.
Last Friday, the same panel unanimously found Hasan guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
This sentencing verdict ends the court martial after 17 days. In it, Hasan, who defended himself, never revealed a motive, did not present a defense and refused to cross-examine any of his victims.
Hasan will immediately lose his rank of major and he will stop getting paid in two weeks.
The Army will soon transfer him to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. to begin serving his sentence.
But an execution is not imminent. Hasan automatically gets an appeal and it has been more than 50 years since the military executed anyone.
More to come.
About time some common sense prevails.
Now if only the few other mass murderers who survived their atrocities would get the same.
Is there a waiting list to signup to shoot this b@$turd?
I always thought it would be tough to watch a death sentence carried out.
Not this time.
Try Hasan and his chains of command for treason first.
I heard this morning that since this was military related the President would have to sign off on the execution.. and that Obama was refusing to sign off on it.
Years too late, but hopefully it'll go as fast as McVeigh did now.
But will they keep issuing his pay once he's dead? Nothing else seems to stop him from getting it?
Whut ?
Run over him with an Abrams. Just sayin'.
Of course, there's always the POSsibility that PO(tu)S Prince 0bama will grant clemency...or even a pardon.
Just "workplace violence", y'know.
I'll start the death pool with a guess of .....
It took 4 years just to get to trial. And since Hasan is a muzzie - he is a protected class and will spin his appeals and postpone his execution until he naturally passes away.
I like that idea!
Did they shoot him yet? What? They couldn't find the ammo!!!?
I heard this morning that since this was military related the President would have to sign off on the execution.. and that Obama was refusing to sign off on it.
Don't know, but it would probably take a lot of paper to list them all.
Does el Presidente have to sign Hasanâs death warrant. like Governors do in the various states? If so, I think h
Hasan has at least until January 20, 2017 to get himself a presidential pardon.
I love the timing, just as Obama gives his phony speech on MLK.
Hasan must be very happy with this glorious news. He will get to have his 72 virgins. I only wish I was able to be there to cheer him on...
I hope his last meal is a Taylor Pork Roll, shoved down his throat.
If the rank is stripped "immediately" why does the headline continue to say "Major"?
Hopefully he gets death by pig.
Naw - shoot him from the cannon's mouth.
A real president and CiC would do it himself.
I say wheel the good Major Hasan onto a C130 and drop him off over Damascus, Syria.
So he can be with "his people" lol
Let this martyr for Allah be sent away with pork dipped bullets.
Hell yes.
One jihadi down, about eleventy million to go...
Or give him the Rachel Corrie treatment.
cut his head off and call it 'severance pay'/
Actually, he probably won't. I believe that there are 5 ahead of him at Ft. Leavenworth and they will all die of old age before an execution is ordered. The same will apply to Hasan. The Army will build him a special cell at the USDB that can accommodate a paralyzed inmate and he will be a potted plant for the rest of his days.
It's too bad, they should have taken him from the
court room right to the gibet, right there on base.
In this instance there is no need for an appeal.
I actually want this supposed pResident to do this if that is the requirement and that is what he intends to do.
I want his military to know that he does not value their collective lives one bit. I want them to know that he chose a f@cking Muslim over them.
Sentenced to death for workplace violence? That's an outrage! This is the equivalent of a paper cut or a stapler accident.
Approves. Appeal denied. Ready, aim...
The sooner the better!
Smear him with bacon grease and send him on to hell
My magic date is the twelfth of NEVER.
Now a true test for obama. a death sentence of someone in the military requires presidential approval...
Should be by firing squad.
"Is there a waiting list to signup to shoot this b@$turd?"
Also, waiting list for those willing to supply bacon-coated bullets?
God bless this panel of officers for sentencing this scum to what he deserves.
Agree, but I'll cut the reporter a little slack since he was proably rushing to get something submitted.
Oh, but this is NOT military related, or else the victims (and their families) would have earned their purple hearts.
So, nope, no military here.
By the way, why did they need a off-base civilian police officer to be the first one to attack him successfully?
There is a guy on the military death row that was convicted in 1988. Hassan is at least a decade or two away from execution so Obama won't have anything to do with it.

Avery Bradley is considered one of the best defenders in this group, and his situational strengths characterize him as a potential high-level role-player.
One of the lower usage players in this group at just 12.6 possessions per-game, Bradley scored on a slightly below average 40.8% of his touches. With 24% of his possessions coming in transition, the freshman shot 53.3% on the fast break, and scored on a below average 38.2% of his half court possessions.
While hes certainly not the most dynamic offensive threat at this point, Bradley was very solid in spot up situations. With a sizeable 30.5% of his touches coming from such opportunities, he shot a second ranked adjusted field goal percentage of 60.9%. The least prolific player running the pick and roll (.57 PPP) and a mediocre isolation player, Bradley was heavily reliant on his jump shot to score points.
Nearly 75.7% of his half court shots were jumpers, and he led all players with a 43.1% shooting percentage on such attempts. Despite being a prolific shooter, Bradley is the worst finisher in this group, averaging 0.754 points per-shot. One of the top unguarded and guarded catch and shoot players in this group (1.347 PPP and 1.149 PPP), he proved capable from the perimeter during his time at Texas, but struggled at the rim. His frail frame certainly wont help in that area on the next level either, but his ability to defend and ability to hit shots from the perimeter tailor him to a smaller role than he played last season.
Everything about Bradleys profile from the numbers we have at our disposal indicates that hes best suited playing off the ball at the moment. Considering he was only a freshman, he could obviously still develop his playmaking and shot-creating ability in the future.
At 6-2 without shoes, with a 6-7 ¼ wingspan, Avery Bradley might just be able to get by at the shooting guard position, which appears to be a more natural fit for him. Numerous NBA executives pointed out how impressed they were with him this weekend. His stock appears to be rising considerably at the moment. Adding strength to his 180-pound frame looks like a big priority for the freshman at the moment.[Read Full Article]

Quite possibly the most impressive player in attendance here, Avery Bradley put on an outstanding shooting display in both drills and scrimmages, showing off his picture perfect form while many times making those in attendance wonder if he can miss a shot. In drills, Bradley looked very smooth pulling up off a confident dribble, knocking down a variety of shots, while also showing off his excellent athleticism in transition, putting his 37.5 inch vertical leap to good use.
Where Bradley really impressed though was the scrimmages, where his team rarely lost and he made great use of the floors spacing, getting to open spots of the floor with ease, showing no troubles getting separation from his man. With his excellent body control, balance, and elevation, Bradley just needs a glimmer of space to get his shot off, and he showed that especially playing the pick-and-roll game. Bradley hit a variety of pull-up jumpers from the mid-range and from behind the arc, many with a hand in his face, which didnt seem to do much. He incorporated in some hesitation dribbles and fakes to get separation when his first move didnt work, but mostly didnt need it, just being so proficient out of simple pick-and-rolls.
Bradley was able to dominate constantly looking for his shot out of pick-and-rolls, but he didnt really excel finding his teammates, something that wasnt problematic here but did lead to some troubles at Texas this past season, as hes prone to showing tunnel vision looking for his own shot. While its tough to take much concrete from these scrimmages, nothing we saw here suggested Bradley is yet ready to be a full-time point guard in the NBA, in line with what we saw from him all season.
Bradley also didnt show much in terms of finishing at the rim, though to be fair the way he was playing, he didnt need to try. He is a bouncy athlete in space for sure, but he did have some troubles finishing at the rim in college this season, and itd be nice to see him continue to work on his floater.
Defensively, Bradley likewise shined, using his full 67 wingspan to great use, never giving up on a play, and constantly trying to affect plays from behind when beat. He did a good job battling through pick-and-rolls and played physical, intense defense pretty much every possession, having some great battles with the other small guards here. Bradley also appeared to be a very good teammate, encouraging others and being pretty vocal in general.
Seeing Bradley run so many pick-and-rolls and play in an environment with much more spacing than he saw at Texas, its not hard to see many reasons why he has the potential to be a better NBA player than he was in college, especially if he can go to a system that emphasizes those two concepts. Bradleys 67 wingspan also bodes well for his chances of defending shooting guards at the next level, at least reserves, many of which are 65 and under. While there are questions about his position, Bradley certainly brings quite a few NBA skills to the table, and could be capable of contributing immediately in the right situation, though situation should be critical to his early chances at success.
Joseph Treutlein
Avery Bradley has had an inconsistent freshman season, not unlike many of his teammates and the Texas Longhorns as a whole. Bradleys shots and production fluctuated wildly from game to game, and he didnt do much to improve on his weaknesses over the course of the season, though the one thing that remained consistent throughout was his intense, smothering defense. We covered Bradley extensively less than two months ago here, but with many indications suggesting hell be entering his name in the draft, its worth taking a more detailed look at this unconventional player whose stock is likely to be all over scouts boards.
Bradley is a somewhat unique prospect in that there really isnt anyone in the NBA with his skill set, and there are questions about how easily hell be able to find a niche. The majority of undersized pure 2s in the NBA are versatile scorers that can consistently create their own shot, while Bradley on the other hand is a more selective shooter who isnt adept at getting to the rim, though is also an outstanding defender.
Bradleys lack of anything resembling playmaking skills or a point guard mentality may be his most concerning attribute projecting to the pros, as itll be very tough to play him at the 1-spot without great shot-creators around him. While Bradley is capable of making flow-of-the-offense passes to open shooters at times, when he puts the ball on the floor he goes into clear scorer mode, looking exclusively for his own shot, even out of pick-and-roll scenarios. Developing into a more versatile pick-and-roll threat could vastly open up his own offense, while also giving teams another reason to give him playing time. This might be the most important thing to follow as the freshmans career progresses.
Bradleys strongest offensive attribute is undoubtedly his jump shot, which he is very reliable with in catch-and-shoot situations and pulling up off one or two quick, compact dribbles. While lacking much in the line of advanced moves, Bradley still does an excellent job getting separation for his jumper by using shot fakes, jab steps, and rip moves in combination with good footwork and a good first step. The interesting thing about Bradleys shot is that in spite of having very good form, boasting great elevation and a high and quick release, hes still prone to many shots that completely miss the mark, and hes shooting a surprisingly poor 55% from the free-throw line (albeit on a limited 66 attempts).
Speaking of free throws, another major problem area in Bradleys game is his inability to get to the line, something that most combo guards in todays NBA are expected to do. He ranks dead last in free throws attempted per-40 minutes pace adjusted amongst all players in our 2010 or 2011 mock drafts in fact, drawing just 66 attempts in 1000 minutes this season, or one for every 15 minutes hes on the floor.
Another issues revolves around his inability to get high efficiency possessions around the basket in general. Hes scoring an incredibly poor 0.75 points per shot on shots around the basket according to Synergy, and in watching his game, its easy to see why. Bradley is often out of control on his drives to the basket and very rarely puts in much effort to create high percentage looks, rather trying to get close to the rim and then just throwing the ball in the general direction of it. On the bright side, Bradley does show an effective floater when hes intently looking for it, and many of his problems attacking the basket are related to a careless mentality as opposed to lack of ability, though he will certainly have some limitations projecting to the pros given his lack of size and strength.
Defensively is where Bradley projects best to the pro level, but the problem here is he will need to find a proper niche to best put his strengths to use, as his physical makeup is much better suited to defending point guards and combo-guards than it is taller shooting guards. Bigger players will be able to simply shoot over him and overpower him on drives to the basket, things that happened when faced with those situations this yearfor example against James Anderson.
To Bradleys credit, one thing he does incredibly well is play outstanding prevent defense off the ball, sticking to his man like glue all over the floor and blocking off passing lanes to keep the ball away. On the ball, his lateral quickness is superb, as is his fundamental stance, and he puts in excellent effort all the time, getting right up into his man no matter where he is on the floor, using his length and hands very well, and always getting a hand up to contest a shot. For all of Bradleys strengths on defense, however, he has struggled defending the pick-and-roll this season, due in part to his physical nature, as hes prone to run full force into a well-set pick, getting stuck and not being able to recover, as he doesnt have the strength to fight through them.
Looking forward, Bradley is an extremely interesting prospect, but where and who he gets drafted by will have a huge impact on his immediate success in the league. Playing alongside a big shot creator (such as Tyreke Evans or Dwayne Wade) who can defend 2s, or coming off the bench to play off the ball and defend opposing point guards or combo guards are situations he could find himself excelling in.
He should also benefit from playing alongside more steady playmakers in the pros than the revolving door of shaky point guard play he saw at Texas. Continuing to work on his three-point range, being more focused on his shot attempts in the lane, and really working to develop his pick-and-roll game should be among his priorities, and all of those things could help him find more potential niches in the pros, something that could be challenging if he is drafted into a tough situation.
Jonathan Givony
Considered by some to be the top freshman in the 2009 high school class, its been an up and down season for the extremely talented Avery Bradley thus far. Looking a bit tentative early on, but being far more assertive as the year has moved on, Bradley has shown enough of both the strengths and weaknesses of his game to get a decent read on how he stacks up as an NBA draft prospect.
Bradleys physical tools will never be considered ideal, as hes undersized for an NBA shooting guard, and does not have a great frame to compensate. His wingspan is solid and he is an above average athlete, though, being extremely quick and fluid in the open floor.
Offensively, Bradley is mostly a role-player for this deep and experienced Texas squad, something he appears to have no issues with. He gets most of his production spotting up on the wings, operating in transition, and creating his own shot from time to time, looking far more efficient and disciplined than your typical freshman guard.
Bradleys biggest strengths on this end of the floor revolve around his terrific stroke, whether its pulling up off the dribble or knocking down jumpers in catch and shoot situations. He gets good elevation and sports very nice mechanics, being able to create separation effectively from his defender, which helps compensate somewhat for his lack of size. Bradley is making 39% of his shots from beyond the arc at the moment (albeit on a fairly limited sample size), but shows even better potential with his mid-range jumper, a part of his game which should translate nicely to the NBA level.
Playing mostly off the ball, Bradley looks much more like a pure shooting guard than he does an actual point guard or even combo at the moment, playing the pick and roll looking strictly for his own shot, while not showing great court vision at this stage. He does a very good job executing his teams offense and minimizing mistakes, though, having no problem giving up the ball and turning it over at a pretty low rate thanks to the conservative approach he usually takes.
Bradley is not a great shot-creator at this point, either for himself or others, as he struggles to get to the rim in half-court situations and has an even more difficult time finishing at the basket due to his average physical tools. According to Synergy Sports Technology, Bradley converts just 37% of his field goal attempts around the rim in half-court situations, as opposed to the 47% he converts on jump-shots.
He avoids goes left at all costs, and doesnt get to the free throw line much at alldrawing just over 2 attempts per gameand only making 48% of them once there. Barring some dramatic changes that occur over the next few years, Bradley will likely live and die off his (pretty solid) jump-shot in the NBA half-court.
Defensively, Bradley is a bull dog, absolutely smothering his opponents with intense pressure and terrific lateral quickness. He really takes pride in his work on this end of the floor, although his lack of size and strength is a bit of a concern when projecting him at the shooting guard position. Hell likely have to be placed in the same backcourt with a bigger ball-handler, an O.J. Mayo/Dwayne Wade type, who can more easily create scoring opportunities for the team.
Hell need to do a much better job on the glass, though, as his 3.5 rebounds per-40p ranks as the worst at his position amongst shooting guards in our 2010 or 2011 mock drafts.
Bradley will need to decide if he wants to stay in school for another season, where hes again unlikely to see any time at the point guard position, or elect to test the NBA draft waters. Only recently having turned 19 a few months ago (in November), time is clearly on his side. His stock is still very much an unknown until the NCAA tournament, where his team is expected to make a deep run and his play will obviously have a huge effect on how hes perceived by high-level decision makers. If he can show better shot-creating ability, rebound the ball a little better and continue to make big plays on both ends of the floor, he will help himself.
Known as a great defender, Avery Bradley entered the game coming off of a solid senior season at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas. The Texas-bound guard helped his stock with his play in the game, shouldering a good bulk of the scoring load for Team USA, while at the same time showing the impressive tools on the other end of the floor.
As a scorer, Bradley displays a number of impressive tools, but really stood out from the mid-range. He shoots a nice pull-up jumper from anywhere on the floor, and has excellent elevation on his shot. Throughout the week, the guard also showed nice range on his jumper, though he knocked down just one of his three attempts in the game. On the drive, Bradley displays great body control near the basket, and shows the ability to draw contact and still get the ball through the hoop.
Physically, Bradley possesses a strong body with a good wingspan, and good all-around quickness and explosion. His physical tools come in handy especially on the defensive end of the floor, where he will be one of the best at his position from day one in the Big 12. In addition to his physical tools, he also cuts off penetration very effectively, and understands pick and roll coverages quite well.
To really establish himself as a one and done type player, Avery Bradley must show the ability to play some minutes at the point. Throughout the week, he focused on being a scorer (which he is quite good at), but it would be very interesting to see where he stands as a lead guard. Considering that Dougas Balbay returns to Texas, Bradley will have to battle to win the starting point guard slot, and therefore its difficult to see him getting a great deal of playing time at the one next season. All things considered, he ranks as a very nice prospect on both ends of the floor, and he should be an impact player from the moment he arrives in Austin.
After a weekend in which he dominated some of the top teams in the country, Avery Bradley (#10 Scout, #8 Rivals, #1 ESPN) has recently risen to the number one spot on ESPN's rankings of the class of 2009. Having already been scouted extensively by DraftExpress at several other events this year, this write up will be short.
The future Texas Longhorn had all of his weapons on display this past weekend in Maryland. He scored a tournament high 27 points in his second game of the tournament, doing the bulk of his damage with his stellar mid-range game. Bradley is extremely difficult to cover due to his excellent quickness, but also because of his ability to stop on a dime and elevate with a smooth shooting stroke. The McDonald's All-American dunk champion was able to get out in transition and wow the crowd a couple of times during the course of his three games with several impressive throw-downs.
Where Bradley really impressed was with his defense. Based on what we saw this weekend, it is a safe bet that the two-guard will be a force from day one in the Big 12. His lateral quickness was absolutely unparalleled and his quick hands allowed him to come away with nearly a dozen swipes over the course of the tournament. He also used his outstanding leaping ability to pin a handful of shots off the glass, on the rare occasion when he was beaten off the dribble.
The Findlay Prep star is going to be an instant impact player at the collegiate level. It may be too soon to determine how he'll project in the NBA, but if his development so far is any indication, we'll be seeing Bradley at the pro level sometime in the not too distant future.
Avery Bradley really came to play today, doing an outstanding job showing his skill-set on both ends of the floor. His outstanding athleticism was constantly on display with the way he crashed the offensive glass, coming up with a number of excellent put-backs, and also hammering home some impressive dunks in transitionnot a surprise considering that he won the dunk contest last night. While not yet a great 3-point shooter, and likely an improvable ball-handler, Bradley showed a terrific first-step and a prolific mid-range game, which should allow him to make an impact offensively for Texas right away. Defensively, he was outstanding as he always is, showing a real competitive spirit that was sorely lacking at these practices the past two days. Even though hes clearly not a point guard, and his current limitations are fairly evident, Bradley has the makings of an intriguing long-term prospect that well definitely have to keep an eye on right away in the Big 12.[Read Full Article]
Avery Bradley (#8 Rivals, #10 Scout, #7 ESPN) was chronicled in depth in November with his play at the National Prep Showcase, and proved to easily be the best all around player that the event had to offer. His stellar play on both ends of the floor was unmatched by his counterparts, and proved crucial as to why Findlay narrowly escaped with a 3-0 record.
Simply able to do whatever he wanted on the offensive end, it was a dominant offensive performance for Bradley. He got to the rim, finished in the paint, and knocked down gorgeous mid-range jumpers. Most impressive about the Washington natives play on the offensive end was the court vision he showed. Making gorgeous passes and continuously finding the open man against the zone defenses that his team faced, the potential for Bradley as a combo guard is becoming more and more apparent each time we see him.
The main area of concern with Bradley from this past weekend was his inability to shoot the ball from beyond the three point arc. Unable to connect on a single three point shot over a three game stretch, this is something that he must continue to improve on if he truly hopes to keep defenders honest next season in the Big 12. Avery shot the ball much better when we saw him in Rhode Island, but was unable to make any of the 11 three pointers he attempted this weekend.
Bradleys defense was stellar as usual, given that he was able to put the clamps on whoever he guarded. The quickness that he possesses laterally is unparalleled by any of the elite prospects that he have focused on, and it just doesnt stop there. Not just relying on his natural gifts, Bradley actually understands HOW to defend without gambling. The stat sheet reflects that, as he collected 14 steals on the weekend with not even half as many fouls.
Truly one of the elite players in the country, Avery Bradley should come in and make a considerable impact at Texas. Its a bit premature to speak about his draft prospects before he even begins his freshman campaign, but Bradley is certainly a player who NBA scouts will be following very closely from the second he steps foot on campus in Austin.
Avery Bradley (#10 Scout, #8 Rivals, #15 ESPN) was hands down the top performer here at the National Prep Showcase, willing his team to a 2-0 record while putting up gaudy numbers in the meantime. While he might not the best long term prospect in the class, a case could be made that Bradley is the top pure basketball player at the moment in the class of 2009.
Physically there is little not to like about Bradley. Although undersized for a shooting guard prospect at around 63, he possesses nice length and very good athleticism. Listed at 185 pounds, he has a frame that will surely fill out in time. Add in an excellent combination of leaping ability, lateral quickness, and first step, and you see why you have the makings of a terrific prospect physically.
The Washington native is an absolute nightmare to guard offensively. The bread and butter of his game centers around his pull-up mid-range jumper, which he can create and get off at will. Capable of stopping on the drop of a dime, he gets outstanding elevation with a high release point on his pull-up. When combined with his great first step, he is able to get defenders back on their feet with his strong initial drive, and then rise up before they are able to even contest his jumper.
Far from a one dimensional player, Bradley is also capable of attacking the rim and finishing in traffic. He is an explosive leaper from a static position, allowing him to rise up amongst the trees without having to run to gain momentum. This enables him to score against much bigger foes and make an impact on the offensive glass, despite his lack of height. Bradleys scoring instincts allow him to slither his way through defenders when slashing to the rim, rarely getting out of control in the least bit. Though clearly strictly a shooting guard, he displays very solid ball handling skills, keeping the ball low and tight when creating his own shot. Bradley has no shortage of scoring moves, whether it be nifty spins, inside-out dribble moves, or multiple crossovers.
One area of Bradleys game that he has shown considerable improvement in is his ability to shoot the ball from beyond the arc. Though he only attempted a single three point shot in his first game at the National Prep Showcase, the Texas signee appeared very confident in his shot during his second outing, drilling three 3-pointers in Findlays win over St. Marks. From beyond the arc, his shot showed the same solid fundamentals that his pull-up did, and if he continues to expand his range, it will make him a nearly complete player on the offensive end.
Although he plays the shooting guard position exclusively, Bradley displays very nice court vision when distributing the basketball. His high basketball IQ, terrific unselfishness and good court awareness are evident when hes on the floor, as seen by the limited amount of turnovers throughout the tournament. Though not one to initiate the offense, there definitely appears to be potential for Bradley as a combo guard down the road.
Widely regarded as the best on-ball defender in the country, Bradley did very little to disprove that notion. With his outstanding lateral quickness and long arms, he applies immense ball pressure on opposing defenders, without reaching or putting himself in vulnerable situations. Likewise, he is a force in the passing lanes with the number of steals that he obtains without over-pursuit of the ball. Though not a very vocal leader, the effort that he applies on this end of the hardwood appear to rub off on his teammates. Bradleys size and strength allow him to get in there and rebound amongst the trees, making him quite the complete defender at this stage of the game.
Pairing with friend and fellow top-10 recruit Jordan Hamilton, Texas will have one of the strongest perimeter attacks in the country for 09-10. Given Bradleys lack of size, its hard to call him a one and done prospect at this point. However, if he is able to maintain the same impact at the collegiate ranks that he has had the prep level, it is certainly not out of the question.

Relationships and Family
Relationships and family are at the center of human life, and they can have a huge influence on your health. Having good friendships and family support eases stress, helps you avoid mental illness, and gives you energy and courage for living a healthier life. Relationships start when you give someone else your time and attention. If you find yourself isolated, the best thing to do is reach out through community activities or family connections. Finding ways to help others will make you feel better, and then pay off later when you need support. Good health means caring for yourself, which is infinitely easier to do when other people are also caring for you. If your relationships are in trouble, take steps to resolve the conflict through communication or seeking counseling. The payoff is greater well-being for all involved.

Access tips for hunting on BLM lands (08-29-13)
KREMMLING, Colo. -- With the big game archery season opening this weekend and the rifle seasons just around the corner, Bureau of Land Management offices across Colorado have started receiving numerous calls from hunters with hunting access questions.
More than eight million acres of BLM lands in Colorado are open to hunting, but there are a few things for hunters to understand about public access to BLM lands.
First, BLM land is open to hunting, but you have to have legal access to hunt it. Legal access to most BLM land isn't a problem. However, some public lands are completely surrounded by private land. If there is not legal access through that private land, such as a county road, you need permission to cross the private land. You are not guaranteed access, even though you are trying to reach public lands. It is your responsibility to know where you are, so use maps and GPS units. It is illegal to post BLM land as private land, but every year a few people give it a try. If you suspect someone has posted public land as private, contact the local BLM office to clarify.
Outfitting is legal on BLM land as long as the outfitter is permitted through the local BLM office.Big game hunting outfitters provide an important service that many hunters choose to use. Check with your outfitter or guide to ensure they are permitted for the area where you are hunting. The BLM issues Special Recreation Permits to outfitters on a case-by-case basis to manage visitor use and protect resources. The BLM typically limits the number of big game outfitters permitted in a specific area to reduce conflicts, but these outfitter permits do not affect public access. Outfitters on public land do not receive "exclusive" use of public lands as they sometimes do on private lands. Call the local BLM office if you have questions about outfitting on public lands.
It is illegal to cross public land at corners. Some areas in the West are "checker-boarded" with public and private lands, or otherwise have sections of public land that are difficult to reach. When the only place tracts of public land touch is at a corner, it may seem like a logical thing to step over the corner from one piece of public land to another. Every year hunters armed with GPS units and maps give it a try. Unfortunately, it is illegal to cross at boundary corners.
Keep motorized vehicles on existing or designated roads. This includes retrieving downed game.Rules for motorized travel vary by office, and many offices are either updating or have recently updated their travel management plans. It's best to contact the local office where you are planning to hunt to find out what is permitted.
Be sure to check with your local BLM office every year before hunting. Things like fire restrictions, road closures and rule changes can vary each year. The best way to make sure you know the latest to avoid disappointment or a citation is to check in with the local BLM office. Each office manages hundreds of thousands of acres, so be specific about where you are planning to go. You can find the local office you need by logging onto www.blm.gov/co
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

Jets Better Not Believe Their Apologists
Nation World HQ
December 26 2011 03:03PM
As the end of December approaches and a truly frightening test grows larger on the horizon, real fans in Winnipeg would like nothing more than to have the their beloved Jets ignore the media noise.
Sure, a lot of the fans are a source of that noise, but those who would like to see the Jets emerge from a difficult January-February road show with at least a shot at making the playoffs, want nothing more (or less) than to have the Jets drown out last week's silly rationalizations for losing.
When the excuses for last Friday night's 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins began to emerge, it became clear that if this Jets team listens to its apologists in the media, its playoff future is extremely dim. Seems those people, for whatever reason, have decided that the Jets problem last week -- a 2-2-1 record at home in five games, including a 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders, a 1-0 loss to Washington and a 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh -- was fatigue, not the fact that their opponents often outplayed them.
In fact, one reporter wrote: "It's a good thing the Winnipeg Jets can now take a few nights off to rest, as fatigue was a clear factor in their 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday night at MTS Centre."
Apparently, the fact the Jets played three games in four nights, the last two back-to-back, in their own building, meant that they were just too tired to compete with the Penguins. Evidently, it had nothing to do with the fact that the Pens are terrifically coached, have a handful of offensive stars (even without Sidney Crosby) and play with toughness, skill and responsibility in their own zone. Marc-Andre Fleury isn't bad, either.
A lot of media people in Winnipeg did not want to believe that an opposing team was simply better than "their" Jets. Of course, it's not as if one of hockey's great myths hasn't been used as an excuse before.
After all, the media -- a group that, to a great extent, is made up of a lot of people who have never played on a sports team before -- love to claim that if a hockey team plays back-to-back games, it's very likely the players will be dead tired and will always lose on the second night.
That, of course, is poppycock. In fact, more than one NHL executive has said that he loves it when his team plays back-to-back games, especially at home.
"If I had any input at all into my schedule, I'd ask for as many back-to-back games as I could get," said former Winnipeg Jets GM and head coach John Paddock, now assistant GM of the Philadelphia Flyers. "In all my life in hockey, I've come to the conclusion that players would much rather play than practice. We grew up playing four games in a weekend tournament. If you're going to survive the Stanley Cup, you often have to play four games in seven nights. Guys have to play 15-20 minutes a night. These guys are in their 20s. They aren't tired."
Paddock certainly has reason to feel the way he does. It seems that losing the second game of back-to-back games has always had more to do with whether or not he had a good team than the contention that he might have had a bunch of tired 26-year-olds (the Jets' average age today).
For instance, the 1984-85 Jets, an extremely good team, played 13 back-to-back games that season. They went 7-2-4 in second games. Paddock's 1995-96 Jets, a mediocre team that barely made the playoffs, had nine back-to-back segments and went 5-3-1 in second games. You can go through the history of back-to-back games with any team in the NHL and come to one conclusion: If it was a good team, it usually won Game 2. If it was a pretty bad team, it usually lost Game 2. Even mediocre teams that might have barely made the playoffs and were eliminated early in the post-season, often won Game 2s.
However, the 2011-12 Jets team is 0-5-0 in the second game of back-to-back games so far this season -- they lost 4-1 in Ottawa on Oct. 20, 3-0 to the Rangers in Manhattan on Nov. 6, 4-2 in Boston on Nov. 26, 7-1 in Detroit on Dec. 10 and 4-1 to Pittsburgh (in Winnipeg) on Dec. 23.
So if you want to believe that three-games-in-four-nights or back-to-back games will tucker a team right out, then you might just as well write off the Jets in January and February right now.
Beginning on Nov. 29, the Jets had 13 of their next 15 games at home. That run is slmost over. The Jets play Tuesday night in Denver against the Colorado Avalanche and then come home to play the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday (So three games in five days is no problem, but three in four is trouble?). Right now, the Jets are 7-4-1 in the first 12 of that stretch. They need to win all three of their remaining games to come away with at least 21 of a possible 30 points in that stretch -- which is what everyone agreed they needed with January and February coming up.
Meanwhile, if this last week was tough, the next two months will be impossble.
On Jan. 4, the Jets begin a stretch with 15 of their next 21 on the road. They play back-to-back road games four times: Jan. 4 in Montreal and Jan. 5 in Toronto; Jan. 16 in Ottawa and Jan. 17 in New Jersey; Jan. 23 in Carolina and Jan. 24 in Manhattan; and Feb. 2 in Tampa and Feb. 3 in Sunrise. They play three games in four nights on three occasions during that stretch: Jan. 14 vs. New Jersey, Jan. 16 in Ottawa and Jan. 17 back in New Jersey; Feb. 2 in Tampa, Feb. 3 in Sunrise and Feb 5 (at 1 in the afternoon) in Montreal; and Jan. 16 in Minnesota, Jan. 17 against Boston and Jan. 19 against Colorado. In fact, during that, they play four games in six days on three different occasions.
If the Jets were fatigued on Friday night, they won't be able to muster up the energy to put on their skates in January and February.
Which is why Jets fans, especially those who actually know something about (a) hockey and (b) NHL scheduling, hope their team doesn't pay any attention at all to a media that loves to make excuses for the team they cheer, but don't have a clue how the game actually works.
After all, if the Jets start to believe what they read, they will not survive the next two months.
December 26 2011, 04:43PM
Great article, Scott. Right now, there are far too many players that are MIA. Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian especially. I don't buy into the age excuse. The Edmonton Oilers back in the early 80's were young as well when they strung together all those Stanley Cups. I don't buy into the travel and the schedule.....as every team has charters these days. Something very few teams had even 20-30 years ago.
I also have a hard time understanding this so-called 'cloud of losing' that followed them to Winnipeg from the Atlanta years. There are a lot of guys that are called to step up as youngsters, that grab hold of responsibility. Obviously, the Atlanta Thrasher organization did a pretty good job piecing this team together. But at the end of the day, the results on ice fall on the players. So sweeping the 'Atlanta Experience' under the carpet as a reason for their present short-comings seems like mis-placed blame.
This team had coaching and quality stars in Atlanta.....to only fall short and under-produce/achieve time and time again.
So IMHO, it's really a lack of finish and overall 'responsibility.' Playing a complete 200ft game. Whether it be North South or East West version. A good team adapts and learns to play in a complete mode, no matter their opponent.
The excuses are running thin. This team has apparent on-ice talent. The coaching team seems professional and solid.
But how many coaches, line-up changes, and excuses can be tolerated, and used as reasons for failure when this song seems to be skipping every time the needle spins around?
You either buy a new record, or write a new song!
Hi Scott and readers, Agreed that the silliness in thinking the back-to-back game scenarios will tire out the young Jets in January and February. Perhaps near the end of the long 2 months of road games, this could be true but unlikely unless the guys party too much after games (does that still happen in the NHL?). Also agree local media types in Winnipeg need to admit when teams like Pittsburgh or Vancouver or Detroit or whomever dominate the Jets, it's simply because they are better, more complete teams. Being a born-and-bred Winnipegger who moved away when the Jets first left (and still a couple provinces west of Winnipeg) I don't get caught up in the Manitoba media, so perhaps that's to my advantage!
Then by that argument...let them play back to back and 3 games in 4 days during the PLAYOFFS! Then Lord Stosh can be handed out BEFORE Victoria Day instead of Canada Day. Plus it is FACT THAT THIS BRUTAL SKED has the NHL seeing more injuries and concussions then at any time before in NHL history!

Governor plans to stick to facts
June 24, 2005
For Gov. Bill Richardson, today's Base Realignment and Closure hearing is symbolic of chance. It is the Clovis-Portales area's chance — Richardson has been handed the task of giving closing arguments — to help save Cannon Air Force Base from closure, as recommended by the Department of Defense.
In a telephone interview Thursday morning, the governor said he is concerned with the "human effects" of losing Cannon, but his closing argument, about five minutes long, will be factual, logical, and methodic.
"I will stick to the facts," said Richardson, who said he lobbied for the regional hearing — originally projected for Albuquerque — to be held on Clovis turf. The hearing, slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Marshall Junior High School auditorium, is the pathway to keeping Cannon open.
"There is no more important issue for the governor of New Mexico right now. I have to look at the human effects — the economy of eastern New Mexico would be devastated (if Cannon closed). It would affect 5,000 jobs; it would have a huge impact on schools. ...
"New Mexico has had a great military relationship with the Air Force — we are a military state; we have four bases. A big part of that military tradition would be lost. ... (Today) is the most important day in the military history of New Mexico."
Richardson, who was scheduled to arrive in Clovis on Thursday afternoon, said the key to getting Clovis off the BRAC list will be explaining how the military value of Cannon aligns with the priorities of the Air Force.
"Delegation members will focus on the issues — on where the Air Force was wrong. It's mainly that in future air wars that America will be on the ground, in the mountains, in Afghanistan, Iraq, in the Middle East. Training at Clovis is totally unfettered. Open air space is key," Richardson said, later reciting a list of Cannon assets repeatedly lauded by base backers — unencroached air space, the possibility of supersonic airspace, a nearby bombing range, and future training missions.
He said his testimony today will also highlight new possible missions for Cannon.
The past two months have been a busy one for the governor. He said he has had eight separate conversations with BRAC commissioners and has visited seven of the nine in their homes. The meetings have given Richardson a good idea of what the commissioners are looking for.
"Their advice is to focus on military value, the issues, facts and figures on Cannon, not just on emotion. I have found that they are very independent individuals with a superb staff. They are looking for cost figures and accurate data. If we make a good case ... we will have a small chance to change their decision," Richardson said.
Only 15 percent of bases targeted for closure have previously been spared in the BRAC process.
While today's hearing is likely the Commission's only chance to see eastern New Mexico before its recommendations go to President Bush by Sept. 8, officials said this is not the last chance for area residents to share their views with commissioners.
"This (the regional hearing) is not the end-all. It is an important element of an ever-evolving process," BRAC Director of Communications James Schaefer said.
Schaefer said anyone with information that shows DoD research recommending Cannon's closure is flawed should contact commissioners.

Making Highlights at Hockey Night
Steve Dangle
March 03 2013 11:16AM
Working for CBC Sports and Hockey Night in Canada has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid. In October of the 2011-12 NHL season, this dream became a reality.
My ticket into "the ceebs" was making highlight packs. I did that all throughout last season, and once the players and owners stopped bickering, I continued to do it this season.
I've had some people watch my highlight packs and ask questions like, "Why didn't you put this in there?" "Why didn't you mention this?" "Why did you put that in, but not this?" Those are all fair questions, because whether you agree with the editing decisions I make or not, there is a method to my madness.
Here is a little look at how I make highlight packs. For those of you reading this on the Leafs, Flames, or Oilers Nation websites, I know your team didn't play last night, but they're obviously regulars on Hockey Night in Canada, so you may like this, too.
This video is the four-game pack we posted to CBCSports.ca featuring all four Canadian teams that were in action from Saturday, March 2nd, 2013. Since it's an all-in-one pack, so pause after each game so you can follow along with what I'm writing.
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Montreal Canadiens
This Penguins vs. Canadiens game is really exciting to watch as a hockey fan! As someone who's editing highlight packs, it's still exciting, but it makes the job a little more challenging. We try to, and most sports outlets try to, keep our packs to around 90 seconds or maybe even less during the regular season if we can. That's obviously not always possible, and this game was a great example of that.
If a goal isn't that pretty, and if it doesn't truly help tell the story of a game, it's OK to leave that goal out. Last year's insane 9-8 Winnipeg Jets vs. Philadelphia Flyers game is a solid example. You won't even see a lacrosse highlight pack that shows you 17 goals. The problem I faced with this Pens-Habs game, was the flow of the goals.
Montreal and Pittsburgh exchanged first period goals. Then to start the second, Montreal made it 2-1. The Penguins then went on to score three in a row, featuring two by Matt Cooke. Now right here I'm thinking, "OK. Odds are this game will head to the third 4-2. If Pittsburgh scores again or Tomas Vokoun makes a big save (which he did on Max Pacioretty), we can end the pack with that. If Montreal comes back to tie it, we'll still have about enough room to show both goals to tie it, plus whoever gets the game-winner." Well I guessed wrong.
Montreal scored once to make it 4-3, then Subban tied it with one second remaining in the second. On top of the six-goal second period, Pittsburgh and Montreal scored two goals each very close together in the third, before Pittsburgh scored the OT-winner.
What I ended up doing was showing both first period goals, and cutting out the 2-1 goal. This allows me to show the story of Pittsburgh's second period dominance, and Matt Cooke scoring back-to-back, followed by the Habs' comeback. You could easily have cut more than just one goal out of that period, but I felt the storyline warranted that five of the six goals should be shown. Pacioretty's 2-1 goal was the most expendable, in that sense.
I waited a bit for the third period action to unfold. When it became clear this game was reaching gongshow levels (6-6? Really?!?), I made the decision to show all third period goals, but quickly, and without replays. Not everybody is a fan of that seemingly rushed style, but my thinking was it helped demonstrate how quickly things were happening, and how back-and-forth this game was. Finally, ending on Brandon Sutter's OT-winner was the easy part.
One thing I could have done, and perhaps should have done, is cut out all of the first three goals. Cut out 1-0, 1-1, and 2-1, and pick it up with Kunitz' 2-2 goal. The story of the game is it was a high-paced, offensive affair, and I would have been justified in doing that. On the other hand, starting the game with the slower-paced first period allowed me to show how the game started a little slow, but then quickly ramped up.
At 2:28, this pack is probably too long. I could have made it at least 20 seconds shorter. Do I regret it? No. Sometimes you gotta go long, especially if it's an exciting game.
LA Kings vs. Vancouver Canucks
This type of game is much easier to cut. There were seven goals in a 5-2 Canucks win. One of them was a Chris Higgins empty-netter to give Vancouver a three-goal lead. I didn't even think about including that goal. You can show empty-netters, but this one didn't need to go in. It didn't come at the end of a mad Kings rush to tie a one-goal game, it didn't cap off a four-point night or hat trick for Higgins, and it wasn't a milestone. In terms of highlights, that's an expendable goal. I also liked the idea of ending on some Cory Schnieder saves because he goofed up on the second Kings goal, and shut the door after that.
This is exactly the kind of game where you could ask, "Why isn't this save in there?" "Why didn't you include this hit?" In this game, I felt the goals told the story. When they stopped telling the story, the saves told it. Show the postgame celebration, and you're done. The pack is about 1:20 long. Way different from the Pens-Habs game.
Washington Capitals vs. Winnipeg Jets
This was the simplest pack of the night by far. I showed all three goals, then some Braden Holtby saves, and that's it. The pack wasn't even a minute long. I could have made the pack a lot longer though.
Evander Kane got what looked like an injury in the first period, but he ended up playing 24-minutes of ice time, which is pretty high for a forward. If the Jets won, especially if Kane scored or made a nice play, I would have included it. They lost 3-0, so there wasn't any point in showing it.
The other thing I did to cut down on time was I showed a quick Braden Holtby highlight pack they used during the broadcast of the game. I like showing saves that change the pace of a game, or rather, stop the pace, but not in this game. For example, if Holtby made some crazy save while it was 1-0, it would make sense to show the 1-0 goal, the big save, the 2-0 and 3-0 goals, then end it. In this case, I thought showing the quick Hotlby pack at the end was enough. I didn't want to totally neglect him because he got a 35-save shutout, but he also didn't have any super-amazing circus saves either.
One item of note I omitted from this pack was the Volpatti/Peluso fight. We don't always show fights in packs, and honestly, I would have been justified in showing that fight. Volpatti is a new Capital. That's justification enough. That being said, I didn't feel like it really changed the outcome of the game, and I feel less bad about leaving it out, because we uploaded the fight in a separate video on the CBCSports website, which you can see right here.
Ottawa Senators vs. Philadelphia Flyers
This was another easy pack to do. In a regular 2-1 game, I would show all three goals, and if necessary, try to throw in some other things. Maybe a few saves, or a few hits. Well, in this game, the story was the hits.
Harry Zolnierczyk (which I can now spell without looking) absolutely drilled Michael Lundin, and it was followed by a Zac Rinaldo "fight" with Kaspars Daugavins. The hot conversation topic coming out of this game is "Will Zolnierczyk be suspended?" You can't not show that hit. Even if it was a clean hit, you would have to show it because of how huge it was. One edit that I thought was really good was the fight. Daugavins waits a few seconds to actually drop his gloves, but the video editor cut out a few of those seconds, and he did it in a way where I think you can barely tell.
NOTE: I don't actually edit these games together in video-editing software. I do that for the KHL highlights I do, but not at CBC Sports. We have time constraints, and there are too many games going on at once for one person to do both jobs. I do the scripting, narrating, and highlight gathering, while somebody else cuts the pack together.
Getting back to the game, I showed all three goals. You could cut Marc Methot's goal I suppose, but that would be lazy. There's only three goals. Show 'em all.
On top of Zolnierczyk's hit and the three goals, Alfredsson got ejected for cross-checking Zac Rinaldo. That's another thing you have to show. The captain of the Senators got booted. How can you not show that? Show a little Flyers celebration at the end, and that's all she wrote.
I could show you other examples of packs I've done and talk about how they got made, but we just went through four games in one post. Let's save it.
I hope you found this informative. If you have any questions, just ask.
Let me be the fist send congrats.
OPPPS Double post damn internet
March 03 2013, 11:35AM
Great insight, Dangle. I've often wondered why on TSN or whatever certain goals don't make it onto the highlight pack. i€ knew time was a consideration, but you're making it more clear that you're telling a story, rather than militantly recapping the entire game.
The one thing I'll say is, I would rather watch more highlights at the expense of the repetitive, bland post game comments from the players in the dressing room. There's nothing there of any note worth showing. If there is (Tortorella), show it, but like you say, if it adds nothing, scrap it.
Either way, great work. You're living the dream
March 03 2013, 11:46AM
Great blog Dangle. Really put us through the process of making these packs nicely!
Informative piece. Thanks.
March 03 2013, 12:23PM
The fact that I can get much better and more informative, useful highlights on team websites is why I no longer watch highlights/highlight shows.
Given the *constant* amount of looping programming on TSN/Sportsnet and with content delivery shifting to the internet, they can obviously afford to do better.
The internet is higher quality, more accessible (I can watch any highlight, any time I want), and this results in my TV quite literally being turned on only for the games themselves or live coverage of a major event.
Just my two cents, hope it gives you something to consider for the future or if you're pitching ideas at a meeting.
Further to your point. The one air "personalities" that the CBC specifically throws out for "analysis" is beyond insulting. Suck is too kind for those idiots. If they are being paid anything north of the cost of a double double the canadian taxpayer is getting hosed....... badly!!
To the OP... Awesome piece!
Steve, Can you please please please let Healy know that no one likes him and he should just shut up? Also can you "mute" his microphone so I don't have to hear him on HNIC. If you are really a true leaf fan then you would do this for us leaf fans.
March 03 2013, 02:51PM
I think you're a touch unclear as to just what Dangle does at CBC ;)
Hahaha I think most hockey fans all over the world can't stand Healy... sometimes I wonder if he watches hockey when he's not getting paid 'cause his analysis is usually brutal and very specific to that particular game or based on opinions that I read months ago. For example, his comments last night about Henrik coming to the defense of his teammates and referencing when Marchand was punching Daniel in the final (where was the ref on that, anyway? Oh yeah, he was standing right there!!!!). I don't really think that Hank has increased his physicality compared to two years ago, in emotional games the Sedins usually show a little push back but they never take retaliatory penalties... so nothing new, no real analysis. I wish Healy would retire or start watching hockey on his days off... just get smart Healy!!! Watch some games!! Of course, if Steve Dangle is willing to throw away his career in sports coverage, hockey fans all over the world would be forever in his debt if he killed Healy's mic or gave him bad directions to the arena... anything to keep him off camera and out of my living room. Make it happen Dangle!!!!!!!! The world needs you!!!!
"For those of you reading this on the Leafs, Flames, or Oilers Nation websites, I know your team didn't play last night, but they're obviously regulars on Hockey Night in Canada, so you may like this, too."
Congrats, I'm happy for your personal success, but please don't ever mention the Oilers and Flames in the same sentence as the Leafs in regard to being regulars on hockey night in Canada. That should insult anyone who watches the preferential treatment given to the Leafs by the Socialist teat sucking CBC.
March 03 2013, 04:01PM
this is sweet, I've always wondered how they decided. the one thing that i hate though is when they start halfway through the second with it like 2-2 or something.
March 03 2013, 10:49PM
eh...there is definitely preferential treatment given to the Leafs as far as CBC goes, but it's an inevitability of being the largest market HNIC caters to. It sucks if you'e a fan of the other Eastern based Canadian teams, but we're finally getting closer to REAL options to get around this.

Australian brand Ksubi's latest lookbook, laid out on a backdrop of tv screen explosions, aerial views of city blocks, and snow mountain ranges, is all about urban warfare and survival fabrics. The army-green sportswear separates (like extra-long hooded jackets and patch pocket shorts) play alongside a spectrum of dark and light wash denim for both men and women. We especially love the drop-crotch boyfriend jeans for ladies and the contour studded denim jacket—you wouldn't mess around with a gal in these clothes! Hem zipper details and color blocking add interest to the looks, while jackets are tied around waists and an overall sense of function is key. Also featured, graphic t-shirts, two-toned size-zip knits, and leopard print accents where you might not expect they'd work (but they do).
