John Calipari
Josh Harrellson
Terrence Jones
Brandon Knight
Doron Lamb
THE MODERATOR: Joined right now by Head Coach John Calipari. The University of Kentucky student-athletes Josh Harrellson, Terrence Jones, Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb and Darius Miller. We'll ask Coach Calipari for the opening statement.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: First we are sitting here, DeAndre (Liggins) should be up here. I don't even know who I will start this next game, so I guess these are five starters from last game. Obviously DeAndre has been as big a player for what's happened for our team, but he will be in the locker room for anybody to talk to.
Q. Josh, do you remember any particular problems that Tyler Zeller and John Henson created for you in the first game in Chapel Hill? And if so, did you learn anything that you feel could be effective in this rematch?
JOSH HARRELLSON: Yeah, they create a lot of problems for me. You know, Tyler Zeller, he scored a lot on me. He got me in foul trouble. So hopefully I am going to just try to stay out of foul trouble, play big and play like I did last night. Just play strong and just try to outwork him.
Q. For Coach Calipari: Can you speak about the level of trust and communication a coach needs to have in his point guard in general, and then how you have achieved so much to that end with Brandon in such a short amount of time relatively?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, the trust has to be two ways, you know. I really have to trust their mentality, which is team first, and they have to trust that I'm going to put them in a good position for our team and them as an individual player.
And then there's just a lot of coaching, a lot of talking. I mean, of these players right now, if I said, who have I been the hardest on this year, raise your hand. They would all raise their hand (laughter). And I would tell you, and if they said that I am not hard on one, they probably would say Brandon, and I'd think I am harder on him than these other guys.
But you have to be fair with them. And you have respect one another. Respect their work, what they're trying to do, and then you just do a whole lot of coaching to try to get them to where you are trying to get them to go. Trust is two ways, you have to trust them and they have to trust you.
Q. Brandon, can you give me an idea of how often Coach fills your mind with thoughts of Derrick (Rose) and Tyreke (Evans) and John Wall and what those conversations might entail, and whether you think you have to reach a certain standard to satisfy a guy who's coached a lot of good players --
BRANDON KNIGHT: He doesn't talk much about those guys. Once in a while he might mention something they did to help themselves, but he really talks about all of his past players, how they listened to him, how they got better just to show each and every one of us that if we listen, if we buy into the team aspect and buy in our roles, that we can win games, win a lot of games together.
Q. This question is for Coach Calipari, and if I could adjust it for you, Brandon: Coach, what kind of mentality does Brandon have? Is he a gamer, I guess, looking at when he struggles in a game, he still has the confidence to hit that shot? And I guess for Brandon after Coach answers, is that something, is that a quality that you have always had? Or have you built or grown into it having that confidence even when you are struggling to know that you can make that shot?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: First of all, he is one of the most conscientious, hard-working players that I have been around. Will be in the gym at 11:00 at night. Will be in the training room icing his knees or his legs at 6:00 in the morning. Academically, got mad, a 91, what class did you get a test, a 91?
BRANDON KNIGHT: Sociology.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Still got an A but he is mad. Conscientious. So he feels that he will make that shot. And more importantly, why I put the ball in his hands, he is not afraid to miss it. If you really want to be that guy, you have no fear if I miss this shot, I miss it. I am not afraid to miss this shot. Life will not end. And so I feel comfortable putting it in his hands because I know of his work ethic. I know how much time he spends, so do his teammates. They know the time he spends.
BRANDON KNIGHT: It is kind of something that has been kind of built up with hard work. Just building confidence, being in the gym a lot. Like Coach said, I have a problem missing the shots, but once you work a ton and you are put in that situation a lot it kind of builds up. Early in this season I had a chance to win the game against Florida; I missed it. I had a chance to win the game against Arkansas and I missed it. So it is just something that you kind of you live and die with. Sometimes.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Alabama, too. (Laughter.)
Q. John, can you compare the challenges North Carolina presents tomorrow with the challenges they presented when you played them in the regular season?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Roy's just done a fabulous job. I mean, they're flying up and down that court. They're throwing that thing ahead. Their bigs are flying. Marshall is finding everything. Barnes is way better. McDonald now is now making open shots and threes. Strickland is getting to the rim like he is. Knox is better, Henson is better, Zeller is scoring 28 a game and 12 rebounds in the Tournament. Think about that. They are playing great basketball and it's going to be a very difficult game for us. It will be a hard game.
Q. For Terrence and Brandon and Doron: Jared Sullinger announced he will come back next year for his sophomore year. I wonder what you guys think of that. Is that good for college basketball to have the top freshmen say they will come back? And does that influence you at all to maybe all want to come back next year or depend on how this year ends?
TERRENCE JONES: Really I am just having fun in this. I don't know about what he said. That's his decision and that's a good decision since he felt he could take his team farther. And it's just a decision he made.
BRANDON KNIGHT: Right now, you know, I know all of us are student-athletes. We are focused on being student-athletes first. So we are just -- I am enjoying the time that I'm having here, and you know loving the college experience.
DORON LAMB: I am just having fun playing with these teammates and playing with Coach. I just want to have fun. I'll be back next year, so I can't be worried about leaving.
Q. For Brandon and Terrence: What do you guys remember about the last couple of minutes against North Carolina, the execution, sort of just the sense of -- that was a really tight game obviously, you struggled with it early. And compared to last night, are you more relaxed in those situations now? Why do you think you are just more effective those situations than were you the first time?
BRANDON KNIGHT: If I can remember correctly, we didn't execute that great towards the end of the game with North Carolina, and that was early in the season. I think with a lot of repetition, with being placed in that situation a lot of times through SEC play, we got a lot better at it. And I feel that right now we're a better executing team when it comes down to ending games.
Q. For John and Darius: You guys have won your last nine games against teams that have played in some sort of postseason tournament, allowed 61 points a game. What has been the key of that defense change? And how effective do you have to be against a Carolina team that is very reliant on tempo?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: One of the things that's happened, and I told them before yesterday's game, I've always believed in this team. I liked this team from the beginning. And there was a time where I believed in guys more than they believed in themselves. And there was a time that I believed more about this team, in this team more than they believed in themselves. What happened the last nine games, they are starting to believe in themselves, and they are starting to believe in each other. Now you are seeing a swarming team that is covering for each other. We had 11 blocks. Are you kidding me? We had 11 blocks. Well, that's coming from the weak side. It was perimeter players blocking shots.
And again, we're doing what we have to defensively. Sometimes we're doubling down, sometimes we are scrambling from the guard, sometimes we are rotating. And sometimes we are switching. But I just believe they're buying into defense first. Can we, you know, guard North Carolina? I'm telling you, North Carolina is going to be hard. That may be a game we're trying to outscore them and they are trying to outscore us. Again, they haven't seen any tape. I have watched a little bit of tape to this point, and we still haven't totally decided on how we're playing some of the stuff, but they are good.
Q. Josh, you mentioned you wanted to play big and strong. Exactly what does that entail? And how might that apply against North Carolina with Zeller and Henson?
JOSH HARRELLSON: Zeller is a seven-footer so I have to just try to play big. Like keep my hands high without fouling. Keep him away from the basket. Make it hard catches. Don't let him get easy looks. So I am just going to try to contain him the best I can. I know he's a great player, and that's going to be a hard match-up. But with a team effort, I think we'll be all right.
Q. John, how can North Carolina's length impact any game? And how much is that a factor?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well one, they can throw it inside and still get shots off. Zeller can really shoot the hook, the right jump hook that he shoots. It also affects some of our dribble-drive because you are driving into big guys. And last game they got a bunch of their transition came on us taking tough shots and they blocked them. Terrence had a tough night. I think were you 3-for-18? No?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: 17. And they had trouble getting those shots off, and that led to breakouts. So we have to figure out what we're going to do. But I will say it again, we're playing this time of the year, they are an outstanding club. We're playing as well as we played all year. I wish the game were today. Let's throw it up and start.
Q. Brandon, in the first game Larry Drew guarded you, he was in the game for 30 minutes, mostly on you. He is no longer with UNC. Is that a plus for you?
BRANDON KNIGHT: I am not sure if that is a plus or a minus. I am not sure who will be guarding me. But I don't really think it matters. My job is just to run the team and see what happens from there.
Q. For Coach, obviously when you guys met Carolina they had a different point guard. From what you have been able to see, can you speak to how Kendall Marshall has changed, if at all, the way that Carolina's offense runs? And whether he presents a different sort of challenge?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: I haven't watched a bunch of their games. The tapes that I've seen, they get the ball up the court in a hurry and he'll throw it ahead. He'll snake his way to the rim if you space out. On his drives, he can find people next to the goal. He can find three-point shooters. So he makes the game easy for his teammates. That's what he does. I didn't watch Larry enough to tell you if he was doing the same, he probably was. And I don't know that situation at all. But I saw Marshall in the summers and liked him. I thought man, this kid is really good. He is a really good player, a really good playmaker.
Q. Coach, would you comment on Josh's development from your first year at Kentucky. And then Josh, would you respond to what Coach says about your development.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Josh went from the jokester, the prankster in practice to a guy that comes early and trains for 30 minutes before we start. And then works his butt off and encourages his team to work, versus pull back the practice. He has totally changed his body. He totally changed his approach to practice. He's totally changed his skill level. And what's happened is you see a different result. You see a player that's had as big an impact on college basketball as anybody right now. He has. And he has done it. It is not what I have done. It is not me coaching him up. He's changed. He did it. And what I am saying to our other players, only way you get a different result in the way you are playing, it's not me playing you different, me giving you more shots, make you different, it is you changing your habits, changing your mentality, changing your skill level that will change the result of how you're playing, and that's work. And there is nothing I can do for you. I can put you on the stage, but I am not out there acting, you have to do it.
JOSH HARRELLSON: It is like Coach said. I just tried to change the approach. I changed my confidence level, changed my skill set. Like he said, changed my body. A totally different player. And I never thought that I would be the player that I am today. You know, it is a lot of hard work and a lot of determination to push through what I have been through, and I am just thankful. I thank God every day for what He has done for me and the places that He has put me in. And I am just so thankful for where I am and my teammates that were there to help me out in the running process and the conditioning I had to do, they helped me through it. They have been supportive since day one. And they had more confidence in me than I had in myself. And finally I am playing like I am capable of playing these last three weeks and hopefully can continue.
Q. I just want to talk about the history of these two programs. The fact that you have 105 wins for Carolina in the NCAA Tournament, you have 104. Can you talk about that and the match-up and the size of this.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Most of us up here weren't there for many of those. (Laughter.) This is kind of like we got to 2,000 first and I think we were there for nine of them of the 2,000. So this, at this point, yes, the name's on the front, Kentucky-North Carolina, wow. The history of both of these programs, wow. But I don't think they are worried about that and I am certainly not. I know they are going against terrific players and I am going against a Hall of Famer. That's what I know. And I know the challenge of this.
But I am going to say this, I believe in my team. I really like my team. No disrespect for any other team in the country, I'm take my team. And so I don't think these guys are worried about, you know, whether it was Ohio State or North Carolina or Duke or Kansas, whoever it is. I mean, it's not past history. These guys only remember two or three years max.
Q. For John and Josh: Could you talk about how this team has become a tougher team mentally and physically? And John, do you think they now totally understand what you were telling them early in the season that they weren't as tough as you wanted?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, we had to go to the punching bags. We had to go to toughness drills. What else did I do? We did all kinds of stuff. We put on boxing gloves, heavy bag. We had guys hurt their wrist hitting a heavy bag with a glove on. But what toughened us up is going on the road and losing and it meant something to these players. They didn't want to lose. Part of what happened is me trying to figure out this team. They're looking at me saying, you have got to give us a little bit more. It is a one-point game with 30 seconds to go, help us. And so as much as we needed to make a shot or make a play, it was me coming up with schemes and things that would make them more comfortable on the floor.
And to be honest, we've been together six months. You have got freshmen who are playing with three vets who weren't, quote, the guys a year ago. It is a new team. So I was trying to figure these guys out. And I will be honest with you, there are even times now where I am saying, is there a better way to do this, for them, to make it easier for them. I think losing those games, I think we lost six games on the road by 11 points. And, you know, people were writing us off. You know, they may not even make the NCAA Tournament. I thought what are you talking about? I have a heck of a team.
JOSH HARRELLSON: Like what Coach said, we weren't tougher in the season, we let a lot of games slip away from us in the late-game situation. And we kind of turned that around. Won a couple of games at home and then went on the road to finish our road regular season off with a win at Tennessee. And from there we have just been playing the best basketball all of us can play. We all stepped our games up tremendously as I remember in the season and we are a terrific ballclub. And a lot of people were doubting us and I think we are proving a lot of people wrong.
Q. You guys were in this position last year with a different group of guys. What lessons can you take from that in terms of getting freshman ready to play a game of that magnitude besides not just missing the first 20 three-pointers.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: And the last 12 of the game before, which meant 32 straight threes, which has never happened in this tournament before.
You know, the experience that I have of coaching in this specific game, I talked to them about what this practice will be like and what it means to the game tomorrow. And how with the quick turn there's not a whole lot of things we can be doing here, except we have to zero in and really be focused and have sharp attention, so that we get something done in a short order. Don't want to use their legs out there, but we have to get stuff done.
As far as last year's team, it was totally different. Last year's team was not an execution team. We would bowl you over, we would outrun you. Get it up the court and get a basket and if we missed it, we'd tip it in or someone would kick to another guy and they'd drive it and try to dunk it. This is a different team. Yet obviously just as effective, but just different.
So we are in a great frame of mind. Last year's team was, too. But I think this team has a little different bounce to it. But we're again playing against an unbelievably talented, well-coached opponent with great size, great guard skills, that shoots the ball. I mean, they just don't have a whole lot of weaknesses.
Q. John, when you look at this team this year, looking back on it now, what was the biggest challenge you faced? Was it the same challenge you thought it would be when the year started?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: You know, I had to look back. I am just kind of looking forward here. But if you ask me what it was, it would be how quickly can we get these freshman ready to compete on the level that we are going to compete on. To get them to understand when we go on the road, kind of like when we went to North Carolina and the atmosphere was electric in that building, it was crazy. How quickly can we get them to understand? Can we get these veterans to understand it's their team? We cannot count on these freshmen. If they play well, great. This is your team. We went on the road one game and our veterans scored no points in the second half. We can't win. From that point on, from that game on, our veterans have been unbelievable. So those three guys have carried us. And the freshman have played well, and at times played really well. But when they haven't played well, we're still good enough to win because of our veterans. That's kind of what we had to get to. And it took time.
Q. John, you guys have been very good about not turning the ball over. What do you attribute that to? And how important is that against Carolina, keeping them out of going up and down?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, one, our point guard, you know, doesn't turn it over that much. Well, sometimes he does. (Laughter.) But he is not turning it over that much, and he has control of the game. So it starts right there.
And then the other side of it is, we have a lot of skilled guys. I mean, you're talking from Darius to DeAndre to Deron and Terrence. And Josh, we are throwing Josh the ball a lot now and he's making passes. He's starting our offense. So we have a lot of skilled guys. And, you know, we are one of those teams where it's low turnovers.
Now, North Carolina on the other hand, is going to run gaps, will try to deny passes, will get up in you to get you out of control, drive you into their big people, make a wing pass hard. You are not going to come down and just pass it around, they will not let you. You have to work to get it open. Because what you said is they want to steal and go, that's how they play. So we have to be as strong as we have ever been. We have to work to get free. We're going to have to bust through and play through bumps because they do bump you on drives and post-ups, you are going to have to play through it, and get that ball to the rim.
Q. John, what is the process and how hard is it, especially with a young team, to convince them that defense is the most important, defense can be fun? And how much did DeAndre Liggins play in making that an easier task?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Obviously he's the passion behind our defense, but somebody told me yesterday those last couple of stops, every guy on our team was down in the stance clapping. Terrence Jones you can see him getting down saying, we will make a stop here. They are taking pride in it. They know it works. It will make us win. One of the things we say is "defense first." That's what we are about, defense first. Because of our skill level, shooting ability, the offense will take care of itself. Defense first, rebound the ball, swarm and help each other. But it takes time. You know why? It is harder to get in there and be physical and stay in a stance and bounce the whole time throughout a whole possession. And especially for freshmen. Freshmen when their man doesn't have the ball normally just stop. The minute he passes it, I'm done. And to get these guys to the point now where they're playing off the ball and bouncing, it's, you know, a tribute to them.
Q. What has to happen for a veteran group of players to take control of a team, in particular Josh and DeAndre?
JOSH HARRELLSON: I just lead by example. Just play hard on your opponent, show the other guys just to come out and compete and play hard. You know, DeAndre is the best at that. He comes out and locks down every great player, and you know, hold him to minimal touches, minimal points. He's great at that. And when he does that, it boosts our team and it boosts the confidence of everybody out there. And just being able to play with him, you know, it is a great honor for all of us because he is such a great defender and he adds a different element to our team.
DARIUS MILLER: Like he said, DeAndre does a great job of leading by example. He picks up the intensity and plays extremely physical and it seems to rub off on all of us. Josh is the same thing as well. So when you see them playing like that and see how they contribute to the team, how much better it makes them, it kind of rubs off on all of them.
THE MODERATOR: At this time we'll have the student-athletes head to the breakout room and we'll continue to take questions for John Calipari.
Q. The last 30 games, the last 30 seconds last night were played in 30 seconds, no time-outs. Can you talk about your philosophy and not calling a time-out in that situation.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, if I don't like what I'm seeing, I'll call a time-out. Now, the play before there was 46 seconds and 11 seconds on the shot clock. And I did not like what it looked like and I called a time-out. Very rarely do I do that because we practice 120 practices, and during that time we spend a lot of time on late-game situations and here's what we're going to do. So instead of calling a time-out, giving the other coach a chance to make it hard on us to get it in, try to steal the inbound, changing his defense, putting a different player on the player that I'm trying to go to, all those things that I can't predict what he's going to do, you do it right on the run.
You call your play, do you it in practice, you do it, that's just me. 11 seconds to go, I didn't like it. Terrence had it 25 feet from the goal, not anything good was going to come out of that. I called a time-out. We took it on the side-out and got it to hand-off to DeAndre, drove left and made a good basket. That last play, there was no way I was calling a time-out. I knew what we were going to do. My team knew what we were going to do, how we were going to play it, and they weren't going to change us up or talk about how they were going to play pick-and-roll, they were going to have to figure it out on the run.
Coming back the other way I know people question why didn't Thad call a time-out? They got a great look. Now the only thing you could say would be, well, if he called a time-out with three seconds to go he could have got it to Lighty. Do you honestly think we would have let Lighty catch the ball? I mean, he got a great look from one of his juniors, who's one of his best three-point shooters, and the kid missed it, and I am very happy he missed it, but he missed it.
I mean -- now let me say how this profession is. If that shot goes in, Thad is a genius, and it doesn't, why didn't he? Our guy made the shot, so Cal, boy, what a smart move. If he didn't, all the people in Kentucky, the 25,000 coaches that come to our game, would have said, he should have called a time-out. That's coaching. If you win you did it right, if you lose you did it wrong.
Q. John, back to Brandon a little bit. I just wanted to ask you, he seems like a pretty thoughtful kid. Did you have to guard against him putting too much pressure on himself? I Know in the past Tyreke had what crisis of confidence right there, did you worry about that at all with Brandon?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: No, we just had to get him to really zone in on running the team. That was the whole challenge, just you have got to run this team. You have got to get people involved. You have got to know how to get everybody touches. And yet, he has to score for this team to be good. So, you know, the other point guards, it was always something different. You know, having a player do different things. With him it was just run this team. We'll get you shots, you're going to get your plays.
And then the other part of it was defense. In high school he never really had to be here, you have to stop somebody. Now he is learning to play pick-and-rolls. He's learning how to play when is he screened, learning to rotate down and help his teammates. He is doing a much better job of talking on defense and really verbalizing overall. When he came in that was probably the thing because I watched him play a bunch in high school, he never spoke. Well, you can't be that way as a point guard. You have to be in huddles talking, you have to be on the court talking, you have to talk. And he is doing a much better job of that.
Q. Cal, you talked today and you talked a lot about the time it took to find out what this team was. Has it ever taken you that long? And could you talk about the process, what you went through to figure that out?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: This is probably as long, I mean our -- my last team at Memphis when I had Tyreke at two-guard and we were 6-3 and ready to fall off the face of the Earth and I put him at point guard and we won 33 straight games. And you're like, who was the dummy that had him at two-guard? That was me. But this just took more of about how does the team play? Not personnel, where do I play him. And how do we get into offense? How do we create space? Where do we put Josh where he is most comfortable? How do we play Terrence? What to we do with Deron and DeAndre -- how do we play where everybody is playing to their strengths and that's taking time. That is not their fault, that is on us. On me personally. A lot of the close games we lost, we had a one-point lead with 30 seconds to go and the ball. Or we're down one with the ball 40 seconds to go. We have the last shot.
And you know the Florida game, I mean I could have called a time-out there. And we went into it, he got a good look but he missed. But we're still, even now, I mean, like this game, stuff will be different this game because Henson and Zeller and they create different problems. So what you're going to do defensively and offensively will change a little bit this game.
Q. John, you referred earlier to Roy as a Hall of Famer, and yet amazingly he is probably the second most famous coach in his own state.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Who is the most famous?
Q. The guy who has 900 wins.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Oh, I forgot about him.
Q. Regardless.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: And I think Roy would argue that by the way.
Q. Would you argue that? What is the perception of Roy in the coaching profession? He will be coaching for the seventh possible Final Four tomorrow. People, when you follow a school like this, might take it for granted. How hard of an accomplishment is that?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, he's as good as it gets. On top of being an unbelievable coach who gets players better, whose programs at the end of the season are much better than they are at the beginning of the season, who has a way he likes his teams to play -- fast, wide open, running big men, trapping at times, you know, showing hard on pick-and-rolls, doing things to mess up the game to make it faster. And he accomplishes that and he does it with good players.
But aside from that, he is a good guy. He is a good man. I mean, I have enjoyed being around him. A heck of a golfer too, by the way. He hurt his shoulder and I know it made him mad because he had to stay off the golf course a little bit, but he is a good guy aside from being a heck of a coach.
Q. Defense doesn't get as much attention out in the public realm or whatever. Do you think DeAndre understands how much he's appreciated for what he does on the team?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Yeah, I think what's happened for him, the way he plays with the passion, with the intensity, how hard he plays, how hard he works, that is a skill. That's a skill. Not every player could do it or every player would do it. Not every player can do that. Every coach at every level is looking for players like him.
Now what he has added to his game is, if you leave me open, I'm making shots. You are seeing a skill level, him bouncing that ball, you're saying wait, we have a 6'5", 6'6" guy that can really handle it, shoot and guard a 1, 2 or 3? Wait a minute. I think the game before he had nine rebounds against West Virginia or something. He obviously is helping our team, but he is creating his own niche which will help him reach his dreams, too.
Q. Coach, you mentioned some of the key things that -- well, briefly some of the key things that are important in coaching in a game like this, you bring in with experience, can you tell us some of those things, go into a little detail on how you will prep your team on such a quick turnaround?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: The one thing is we will not change anything on how we prepare for a team. Our players will not watch tape of North Carolina until the pregame meal. They will not get a scouting report. There will be a meeting in my room tonight which will last about 15, 20 minutes. We'll have an hour on the basketball court where I will go through some of their stuff. I want them worrying about us. Let's play our best. If that's not good enough, it's been a heck of a year. And that's how I prepare them for every game they play. The board that they will see prior to the game is exactly like the board when we played -- I can't remember who would he played this year early in the year, but when we played Mississippi Valley State early in the year, the board is exactly the same in our approach. You want them to understand that.
I also want them to think in terms of just think of it as practice. We are out there in practice. Go play. You know, I want them to see me excited, and I am. I wish we were playing it today. Let's play. Not because I think it's an easy opponent, because I am excited about our team being here. So those are the kind of things. I don't want them to make this bigger than it is.
Q. A couple of things about John Wall, A, have you heard from him during this run? And B, what sort of, if any, lasting impact could a guy like that make in just one season?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, first of all, he'll text me four to five days a week. And at the end of every text he says "I love you, Coach." The impact he had was I got to spend a year with a wonderful young man who is a terrific talent, who grew as a person, grew as a player, benefitted by the experience of Kentucky for one year, and we benefitted by him being there. Would I have rather coached him for four years? Oh, man would that have been fun. If this was the '70s I would have had him for four years. But it is not the '70s. He was the No. 1 pick in the draft. He should have put his name in the draft. If the kid doesn't get hurt, if he's in L.A., he'd probably be rookie of the year.
So it was an experience for me. It's like Jim Boeheim who had Carmelo for a year. If he had to do it over again, I think he would say I'd like Carmelo for that year as they won the national title. So I'd rather -- I don't like the rule one-and-done, I don't like it at all. Yet it's a rule that we have to live with right now.
And the option is recruiting players who aren't good enough. Or you recruit talented players who may grow into professionals after a year. Eric Bledsoe, no one knew that Eric Bledsoe would be a pro after a year. No one knew. Daniel Orton, didn't play his senior year in high school. No one knew after one year of playing 16 minutes a game at the University of Kentucky that he could be drafted 29th in the draft. Even DeMarcus Cousins, we didn't know if he would be ready to move on and do the things he's doing. But you know what, for those kids they were able to.
And for John, and he grew now. He grew as a player, and he still has a lot of growing to do. I talked to Sam Cassell probably once every two weeks about him, and talking about how he can help him get better. But he'll text me. But they all do that. Derrick will text or Tyreke or DeMarcus or Marcus Camby texted me after this last game, "love you, Coach." I have been so blessed with the kids. My best players have been wonderful people. My best players. And for a coach to be able to go through a career, and I could tell you just about every one of my best players has been the nicest -- the kids I have here.
And so I don't know, did I kind of answer your question or just keep talking ?
Q. Coach, I don't know how much you have seen of Dexter Strickland?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: I saw him in high school.
Q. What makes him such a good defender? Is it different going up against a guy with a dribble-drive that's always going to have the ball in his hands opposed to limiting catching from the wing players?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: The one thing that the advantage that the dribble-drive has is when a guy comes up and plays you, you can drive left or right. There no man going to be standing. If you are driving in an area, he'll move out of that area. He will either cut hard or slide under the goal. So it is an advantage. When they deny wings, that opens up lanes for lay-ups. The issue becomes the big guys are standing under there. For Dexter, he is long, he is athletic, he is tough, he's quick, he gets a wide stance and he holds his ground. I watched him in high school a bunch. He's a terrific player and he is a great young man on top of that.
Q. Roy Williams came close a few times before he won the whole thing. You've come close several times. Do you think that there's still the view out there that the coach has to win it all to, you know, validate his career or whatever?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Maybe, but I don't -- it's not in my mind, but maybe. There are coaches that I have unbelievable respect for who have not been in situations like I'm in now with Kentucky, who have taken programs to an Elite 8 that shouldn't have been in an Elite 8, that have gone to a Final Four. That, how could he get that program to a Final Four? That I think in the realm of what we do you look at and say that's like a national title for that coach.
And so, you know, I look at coaches there, that the respect I have for what they do, and mainly how they treat their players. I love it when a coach is tough on his kids and everybody thinks he's really hard, and then you get around him and he and his players are hugging each other and they say "I love you, Coach." And I mean that's what this is about. And if that guy hasn't won a national title at the end of the year, maybe he says not at a school that gives him that opportunity to win a national title.
So, you know, I am at Kentucky. Obviously our goal is always to try to win and be at that level and win that national title. But you know what? At the end of the day our kids are getting better. Guys like Josh Harrellson and DeAndre Liggins, what's happening for them, I don't know if I have ever been prouder or will be prouder, or even these freshmen what they have been able to do on this stage. And you put that "Kentucky" on the front it changes things. It makes it a little bit harder, a little more pressure-packed. Buildings are a little fuller. The kids are playing harder, jumping higher, making more shots than they normally make and you better be ready to ball. Coming to Kentucky is a man's decision. You can't be a boy here. This stuff is on. And this game tomorrow should be two teams flying up and down the court going at each other. And it should be a lot of fun.
Q. John, along those same lines, awhile ago you mentioned 25,000 coaches, amateur coaches come to your game. This year early in the season Roy really got upset, they lost by 20 points to Georgia Tech. He got worked over on his radio show and sort of blew up and told the fans keep their opinions to themselves. Is it tough to not do that at Kentucky or North Carolina?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: You know what, I would tell you, I would say 99.8% of the fans at North Carolina love what Roy's doing. And those 2% are calling his radio show (laughing). I say 2%, .2% are calling his radio show. And the same thing happens for all of us coaches.
It's funny, whatever you do as a coach, if you win it was right, if you lose it was wrong. If you can't get by that, you can't be in this profession. The second part of it is, if you are worrying about all the people in the seats are saying about you, you're going to be up there with them shortly. So I can see Roy, who takes great pride in the university, and I think it was more, we don't do that here. This is the University of North Carolina. We don't do that to our players. That's not our history. We don't win every game. We struggle some, but we are behind these kids. Without knowing it, that's probably what he was saying, just knowing him. And so I don't think it was him saying, don't yell at me, he is saying leave these kids alone. I think if I am not mistaken they were on Mr. Barnes early a little bit. The kid is as good as there is in the country right now, and Roy knew that. We are all in that mode.
Now with bloggers, you know, I mean, this is -- I don't -- I don't have a computer, I do the Twitter stuff, but a guy does it with me and does it. And my blog I do it, but it is voicing it. I don't get into a computer, so I wouldn't know what a guy is blogging, saying, I don't have -- I am supposed to be one of those -- he's a Twitter guy, I don't even have a computer, so I don't even know. But if you looked at it I would probably go nuts. There are probably people in Kentucky right now wanting me out. So that's the profession we're in. I think it's just getting a little crazy. So Roy got a little angry, huh?
Q. He said an ugly word.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: It wasn't a swear word, that isn't Roy. He'd give them a "darn."
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.

They both sound nice, especially the Aventis. Are these going to be released worldwide and not just in the USA like Windsor was?
Aventis is going to be released as a regular lineup scent in all the sizes. I am not sure about the oakmoss though. COnsidering it is banned I would think it has to be the synthetic type. The Spice and Woods will be the royal exclusive and this time instead of that stupid bulb you add to the top of it, it will already come with the spray attachment already added to it and it cannot be removed. As for worldwide releases, I do expect it to be released worldwide but I am not sure when. II think Creed france will have it before anyone else though.

for the update cairomerta. I'm still trying desperately to get my hands on a bottle of Windsor. I have a 10ml decant which I have been using and I've got to the stage now where I daren't use it other than special occasions, so it lasts as long as possible Nice to know Aventis will not be as hard to get my paws on
Aventis looks right up my alley. Looking forward to this.

This is exciting news.....They both sound very good.....Thanks for the info.....Gary
Aventis - like the pharmaceutical megacorporation ?
Both sound good. I'll be picking up decants of both. The birch in both of them sound surprising.

Apple? In both? Hmm. Sounds like it smells synthy.
Pinapple. What is this? A cheap pizza topping? I mean ROYAL PINEAPPLE??
Has it got royal anything else? I'm not buying it unless EVERY fruit ingredient is royal.
Oakmoss is not banned but is heavilly restricted. There is talk of a "safe" oaknmoss with the "harmfull" material removed. Wonder what it smells like?

Is it unisex, you think ? Looks cool ............
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Thanks for posting! Am I the only one who thinks the bottle looks a bit cheezy?
I heard it is for men but it is supposed to smell amazing on women because of the fruity top notes.

I have tentacles all over the world haahahah!!
I'm in. Both of them. Sounds like some mighty fine stuff. Thank you, cairomerta. Cutting edge reporting, as always.
I don't know what to think of that bottle if it's real. The little horse is drawn kind of funny. It makes me think of some 4th grade student not paying attention in class--and the teacher walks over to their desk, looks under their textbooks and yanks up some little goofy drawing of a unicorn that they traced from a picture of a horse and then added a horn to.
Maybe it's just the glare from the pic, but it looks awkward. Maybe just out of frame is one of the "royal pineapple" plants and the little dude on the horse is out harvesting the fruit for His Majesty, throwing it into his little royal rucksack.
You know, allegedly after his death, the doctors preserved a small part of Napoleon. Enfleurage anyone?
I like Creed. I also like having fun with Creed.

Awesome info as always cairomerta. So what famous people were Aventus and Spice and Woods created for?
Spice and Woods sounds more interesting to me. What are the other Creeds that are coming out this year?

Final Home Games…for Now
Hard to believe that the final three home games of the regular season are here. For years, it was a sad occasion. For the fourth straight year, it means more baseball for Phillies fans. Hey, not saying the Phillies are there yet in 2010 but it is close.
Night, night, day with the Mets and then it is on to Washington, DC, for three and Atlanta for three.
Rally towels are back this weekend: Hatfield Quality Meats is Friday's sponsor; Winner Ford, Saturday and Auto Trader.com/Toyota on Sunday.
Home Sweet Home
Phillies are 51-27 at home, the ninth time in franchise history they have reached or topped 50 wins. Last time was 1993: 52-29.
Of their last 46 home games, Phillies have won 35.
Club record for most wins at home is safe: 60-21 by the 1977 Phillies.
Final Count
A couple of weeks ago, I reported the final dollar dog number. That was premature because there was one more such night….last Monday.
So, let the record show that 358,538 were consumed on six Hatfield dollar hot dog night, up from 324,767 a year ago.
New Fan Service
For the first time in a big league ballpark, fans can order food from a limited menu and have it delivered to their seats. This joint venture between MLBAM, ARAMARK and the Phillies will begin Friday night and run through Sunday.
Fans can order through their iPhone or iPod Touch and it will be brought to them in their seats.
If you order a cheesesteeak will the receipt say iCheesesteak?
Ever Wonder?
Surely you've noticed when a catchers goes to the mound to talk to his pitcher, both hold their gloves over their faces. Ever wonder why?
(A) They are giggling and don't want anyone to see it.
(B) They don't want the enemy to read their lips.
(C) They have bad breath.
(D) They are really talking about postgame dinner plans.
(E) Both are hard of hearing and are actually shouting.
(F) They are saying, "What are we going to do now?"

Yoga Guru Patanjali - Brass Sculpture
- Product Code : 2831
- Material :Brass
- Size : 7" H x 4.50" W
- Weight :1.800 Kg.
The beautiful brass figure of Maharshi Patanjali is given a detail and refine treatment.
Patañjali is known to be an incarnation of Adi S'esha who is the first ego-expansion of Vishnu, Sankarshana. Sankarshana, the manifestation of Vishnu His primeval energies and opulences, is part of the so-called catur vyuha, the fourfold manifestation of Vishnu. Thus may Patañjali be considered as the one incarnation of God defending the ego of yoga.
There is an interesting story about his birth.
There was a great Yogini called Gonika, who was praying for a worthy son to transmit her knowledge. Patanjali, as a tiny snake, fell from the heavens into her palms as her reward. So he came to be known as Patanjali. 'Pata' means to fall and 'Anjali' is hands cupped in prayer.
Yoga Sutra is also credited to Patanjali. He is always depicted as a four-armed man up to the waist, after which his body becomes a great serpentine triple coil. The triple coil of the body represents the dormant Kundalini Shakti, the primal energy of creation. Two hands in the rear, symbolizing spiritual attributes, hold up the emblems of Vishnu, the conch and the discus. His front hands are folded in Anjali mudra more commonly known as the Namaste, India's ancient and powerful spiritual greeting. The serpent hoods forming a royal umbrella over his head are normally seven in number, signifying his transcendence of the Five Elements and the achievement of Enlightenment and Liberation. The snake rises along the back of the spine as the Kundalini energy does when it is activated. When the Kundalini reaches the chakra above the head in the etheric body, full Enlightenment and Liberation is achieved.

The artist has chiseled Patañjali, the compiler of the Yoga Sutra, a major work containing aphorisms on the practical and philosophical wisdom regarding practice of Raja Yoga, out of metal brass with masterly elegance. Patañjali is the reputed author of the Yoga Sutra, as well as commentary on Panini's Sanskrit grammar (Astyadhyayi). There are also many ayurvedic texts attributed to him. Desirous of teaching yoga to the world, he is said to have fallen (pat) from heaven into the open palms (anjali) of a woman, hence the name Patanjali. The Yoga Sutra is a treatise on Raja Yoga, built on the Samkhya School and the Hindu scripture of the Bhagavad Gita. Yoga is also found in the Puranas, Vedas and Upanishads. Still, this work is certainly a major work among the great Hindu scriptures and certainly is the basis of Raja Yoga. Patañjali's Yoga is one of the six schools of Hindu Philosophy. They give us the earliest reference to the popular term Ashtanga Yoga that translates literally as the eight limbs of yoga. They are yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi.

Cascades of gold coins are seen flowing from her hands, suggesting that those who worship her gain wealth. She is often depicted wearing gold embroidered red clothes.

Perry Roark, the co-founder and "supreme commander" of notorious prison gang Dead Man Inc., pleaded guilty to federal racketeering and related murder and drug charges this week, accepting a life sentence as part of the deal.
Some of the charges would have made him eligible for the death penalty.
The 43-year-old, who was rearraigned in U.S. District Court in Baltimore during an unpublicized hearing Thursday, has been incarcerated since he came of age. State prison is what he knows and where he built DMI into a militarized group of organized killers and enforcers who trade lives for heroin, a gang expert said.
He was set to be released from a combined 25-year prison term — a 15-year sentence for a lumber store robbery and an additional 10 years for violating probation — early last year, when state prosecutors in Anne Arundel County blocked his discharge by resurrecting an old murder charge against him. Then federal authorities indicted Roark and nearly two dozen others in November on racketeering gang charges, which were once reserved for Godfather-style Mafia members but are now trained on street and prison thugs.
Maryland U.S. AttorneyRod J. Rosensteinsaid in a statement Friday that the strategy plays a "critical role" in reducing violent crime. Roark "will spend the rest of his life in federal prison," Rosenstein said.
The Anne Arundel County murder case was dropped once federal investigators stepped in.
Lawyers expect some of the 22 others indicted in the federal case, including a mother and daughter, to also seek deals now that one of the DMI leaders has fallen. One man, Michael Forame, already has, pleading guilty to the racketeering conspiracy Monday, though he signed the agreement 10 days ago.
Roark, who is white, developed DMI by merging three other gangs within the Maryland prison system in the late 1990s, after he was rejected by the African-American Black Guerrilla Family gang, said Agent Ryan Shifflet, western regional director of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Gang Investigations Network.
DMI began as a sort of white contractor for BGF, carrying out killings and assaults in exchange for drugs, and grew into its own criminal brotherhood, looking out for its members' safety and addictions. Many in DMI are hooked on heroin, said Shifflet, who has studied the organization.
Shifflet said he met with Roark — who went by the nicknames Pops, Slim and Saho the Ghost, according to the indictment against him — in Allegany County's North Branch Correctional Institution about a year ago, to interview him about the gang and its growth. Roark's reputation among inmates was that of a "superhero," Shifflet said.
When Roark was imprisoned on the 1991 robbery charge, he stood 6 foot 1 and weighed 155 pounds, according to court records. Today, he's a power lifter with intimidating bulk.
"Physically, he's a big person, so he automatically has a commanding presence, and to sit and talk with him, he's a likable guy. … You could see where he could be influential," Shifflet said.
DMI has since spread to other states, including Texas and Pennsylvania, and grown to include thousands of members, Shifflet said. Leaders frequently conduct business using contraband cellphones in prison and runners on the outside.
As part of his plea agreement, Roark admitted arranging multiple murders — only one of which was carried out — and assaults and to trafficking in illegal drugs.
His attorney, William C. Brennan Jr., declined to comment on the case Friday because Roark has not yet been sentenced. A hearing is set for Sept. 26, during which U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett is expected to honor the agreed-upon life term.
Whether the shift to federal from state prison will have much effect on Roark's role within DMI, however, is unclear.
"As long as he has the ability to communicate, he'll be certainly able to hold a leadership role either through mail or by phone," Shifflet said.

As the San Francisco Giants season winds down, closer Sergio Romo is ready to remain in the spotlight as the face of a chilly new product tied to a hot national debate.
The ever-provocative pitcher has teamed up with "Three Twins Ice Cream" to create a bold, organic flavor of Mexican chocolate ice cream with a potentially controversial tagline: "It only tastes illegal."
The tagline is a nod to the dark blue T-shirt Romo wore after the Giants won the World Series last fall that said "I just look illegal."
The ice cream's rollout this week is also timed to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month, and is a surefire way to stir up debate about immigration reform.
"The issues are so important to me because I myself am Mexican American," Romo said in a piece about the ice cream on ESPN's website. "Being looked at on first glance and being judged on that, I've lived through that."
The pint of chocolate, with a hint of cinnamon, sells for $10 online and about $4 to $5 in retail stores. Romo calls the flavor "bold" and spicy" in the ESPN video. "I like it a lot. I have a huge sweet tooth," Romo said. "I'm glad I got my own ice cream now."
The flavor hit stores, such as Sprouts, The Fresh Market and other grocers, this week and was just approved to be sold in Whole Food grocery stores, according to company founder Neal Gottlieb, who spoke to NBC Bay Area on Monday. Also on Monday night, the ice cream factory is throwing a private party in San Francisco to formally launch the sweet dessert, where a lucky guest will have the opportunity to meet Romo and share a bowl of the rich, chocolate ice cream.
threetwins factory in Petaluma!! #mexicanchocolate #thatswhatsup http://t.co/WVT8EfYT5S — Sergio Romo (@SergioRomo54) August 23, 2013
Three Twins Ice Cream is based out of Petaluma, Calif., and until now, has been sold in a handful of retail shops in San Francisco, Napa, Larkspur and San Rafael. Gottleib said it's the only one of his company's 20 or so flavors named after an individual.
MORE: Sergio Romo Rocks "I Just Look Illegal" Shirt at Giants Parade
Gottlieb told NBC Bay Area it was a few months after seeing Romo wearing his "I Just Look Illegal" T-shirt at the Giants victory parade in November 2012, when "poof," the idea for pairing the Mexican chocolate flavor and Romo popped into his head.
Since this is the year 2013, Gottlieb didn't call or email Romo; he instead messaged the pitcher about the idea on Twitter, along with a mockup of the design and tagline. Romo tweeted back: He'd do it.
In August, Romo visited the ice cream factory, and a new flavor was born.
MORE: Debate Erupts Over Romo's "I Just Look Illegal" Shirt
Romo was born to Mexican parents in Brawley in Imperial County, Calif., about 30 miles north of the Mexican border. And he wears his Mexican-American heritage with pride. In the past, he's worn a shirt that said "Made in the USA with Parts From Mexico."
Three Twins Ice Cream was created in 2005 in Marin County by Gottlieb, whose own twin brother is married to a twin.

Guard Kendall Simmons has been using the voluntary off-season program for all of the same things his teammates are preparing for mini-camps, training camp and the season, getting in shape and getting to know the new coaches.
But he isn't stopping there. He is using the time to get some work at the center position, taking time at the end of each workout to practice snaps and other tricks of the trade that are key for that spot.
"Every day I have been here I have done a little bit," said Simmons. "It's one of those things where if I am going to do it, I want to be able to do it and be progressively better instead of doing it for a couple of weeks and stopping. I feel like I can't get good at it if I do that."
Simmons is working at center as a result of Jeff Hartings retiring at the end of last season. While the Steelers signed free agent Sean Mahan, who can play center or guard, and back-up Chukky Okobi will be returning, Simmons name has been thrown in the hat to play the position and he plans on being prepared if his name is called.
"It is something I want to try," said Simmons. "It's a new challenge. Any athlete who is willing to get better will try to step up to the challenge. It's something I think I can do. Coaches have said it would help slow me down. I move too fast. They would say I am a bull in a china shop sometimes and playing center would help me because it would slow me down."
One of the benefits that Simmons feels he would get by that slow down is taking advantage of snapping the ball and moving instead of the risk of jumping offside because he is trying to move too fast. But while there will be advantages there are also some adjustments that will have to be made.
"It's a different world. You can't be claustrophobic in there," said Simmons. "Coming in my rookie year going from tackle to guard, you are in between somebody. You are in a box so I had to get used to that again. Now you are going from guard to center and it's like everyone is right there on you.
"You have to get used to snapping the ball, snapping and moving at the same time. It's really different. But I think if you give me a year I feel like I can excel at it if I had to be moved there permanently."
Despite his preparation, Simmons honestly does know if he will even take a snap at center this year. As of right now, he sees himself staying put on the line, but being ready and willing to move if needed.
"I see myself as the starting right guard with back-up center capabilities," said Simmons. "That's where I want to get. I don't know what's going to happen with it to be honest.
"Right now I don't know much about the whole thing competing for the spot. I want to be good enough that if something happens to Sean or Chukky, I can fill in and there won't be a fall off. That's where I want to be too."
No matter who plays center, though, it will be a big change for the entire line. A change on the offensive line can have an impact on the chemistry and there will be an adjustment period.
"It changes it big time," said Simmons. "You get so used to being with one guy for so long. Chukky has been in there and has played. I don't know a lot about Sean yet. You are going to have to build chemistry with him and learn how he likes to do things and where he is going to be. You have to feel it out. It's going to be a big difference. I know Chukky a little bit and how he likes to do things, so it won't be that bad. But with Sean it would make a difference."

- You're exempt from paying parking meter fees in Maryland if the parking meters do not meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and can park for up to twice the maximum allowable time shown on the meter (not to exceed four hours). Please note: Areas outside of Maryland, including the District of Columbia, have different parking meter exemption laws. Please check with their local government to obtain parking meter exemption information.
- Maryland's registration plates and placards for individuals with disabilities display the wheelchair symbol and are recognized nationwide.
Note: The American's with Disabilities Act does not prevent payment of parking meter fees by an individual with a disability. Therefore, you should verify requirements of feeding parking meters and the time limit allowed in the jurisdiction you are visiting.
Some disability spaces are marked "van accessible." These spaces are designed with extra wide access aisles (eight feet wide) to accommodate vans with lifts and minivans with ramps, which require more space. Drivers with a disability placard or plate who do not have these special vehicles, should park in regular disability spaces first and only park in van accessible spaces if all other disability spaces are filled.
May I use my disability placard or plate when traveling in other states?
Yes, all States must recognize removable disability placards, temporary disability placards and special license plates which have been issued by authorities of other states for the purpose of identifying vehicle(s) permitted to utilize parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities. Although States must recognize disability placards, temporary disability placards and special license plates to utilize parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities, you may not be entitled to free-metered parking.
Accommodations for motorists with disabilities do not apply to zones where stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited to all vehicles, and spaces which are reserved for special types of vehicles.
Accommodations are not available where there is a local ordinance prohibiting any parking during heavy traffic periods such as morning, afternoon or evening rush hours, or where parking is clearly a traffic hazard or; in Baltimore City, where there is a local ordinance that restricts parking for vehicles that do not display a specified residential parking permit.
Always check specific posted signs before you park, since you cannot disregard zones prohibiting all vehicles.
I have several vehicles; how can I apply for a disability placard to use when traveling in each vehicle I own?
An individual with a disability may apply for:
- One placard
- One regular disability plate
- One placard and one regular disability plate
- Two placards.
In addition, up to two motorcycle disability plates can be requested with any combination listed above.
Placards are designed to easily move from one vehicle to another, whether it's a vehicle you own personally or a vehicle you're riding in that is owned by another.
Conditions for Special Parking Placards or Registration Plates

- Has a permanent impairment of both eyes so that: 1) The central vision acuity is 20/200 or less in the better eye, with corrective glasses, or 2) There is a field defect in which the peripheral field has contracted to such an extent that the widest diameter of visual field subtends an angular distance no greater than 20 degrees in the better eye. See Note (C) "Certification Under Maryland Law".
- Temporary Placard (red)
Disability is not permanent but would substantially impair the person's mobility or limit or impair the person's ability to walk for at least three weeks, and is so severe that the person would endure a hardship or be subject to risk of injury if the Temporary Placard were denied.
Certification under Maryland Law
Maryland Law specifies that only licensed physicians, physician assistant, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, optometrists, podiatrists, or physical therapists can certify to the particular conditions listed. You, your dependent, or any person who depends on you for transportation may be certified as having a disability under the ten conditions listed.
A licensed physician, licensed physician assistant, or licensed nurse practitioner may certify all qualifying conditions listed.
A licensed chiropractor, licensed podiatrist or licensed physical therapist may certify disability codes (3 through 8 and 10).
A licensed optometrist may certify only qualifying conditions regarding vision.
The person with the disability may self-certify the conditions listed under disability code 6, by appearing in person with proper identification. In this situation, only the disabled person's name and this disability code must be recorded. If, however, a doctor certified the loss of a limb, the doctor must complete all of Section C.
If you have a temporary disability that's expected to last at least three weeks, you may apply for a temporary parking placard. It must be certified by a licensed physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, optometrist, podiatrist, chiropractor, or physical therapist. This placard may be valid for up to six months. [TOP]
There is not a fee for the placard(s). A request for a disability plate requires the assessment of a substitute/replacement tag fee. Please submit your completed application along with the appropriate $20.00 fee. If requesting a disability plate and its time to renew your vehicle registration, the registration renewal fee is also required. TOP]

View Sample Reverse Phone Lookup Report
If we can't find it in our database immediately, we'll take an extra step and run an expert search and return reverse phone lookup results within 72 hours at no additional charge to you.*when available
You can get a lot of information from ten little digits as long as you know where to look. A reverse phone lookup is a quick search that takes any phone number and returns the name and address of the person who owns it.
Reverse phone lookup can be rightly called a phone number people search. An unknown number is a giant question mark. It doesn't matter whether it's unknown phone number on your cell phone, or an unknown phone number you don't recognize on your child's cell phone call list. An unknown number is an unknown person, and a reverse phone lookup is a way to put a face with the phone number.
Like an address people search, reverse phone lookups are a fast beginning tool for getting a name and more detailed personal information behind the phone number.
Despite its simplicity, reverse phone lookups are more comprehensive than a typical white pages phone search. White pages are limited to published landline phone numbers. However, in the US, 60% of households have an unlisted number, over 65 million. And virtually all of the 233 million cell phone numbers are unlisted.
US Search's reverse phone lookup track down information for all kinds of phone numbers:
A reverse phone lookup report contains the name and address for whoever owns the number, and it also includes relevant details about the phone number, like whether it is a cell or landline, its carrier, and, for land lines, the median incomes and home values in the neighborhood and its location on the map.

Many of his teammates believed Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had done enough in the 2012 season to earn a Pro Bowl trip to Hawaii.
Monday, Thomas was notified he would indeed board a plane to participate in Sunday's all-star game. Thomas, who was fourth in the NFL with 1,434 yards receiving this season, was named as an injury replacement for the AFC team.
Broncos guard Zane Beadles also was named an injury replacement, Monday. Thomas replaced Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker and Beadles replaced Patriots guard Logan Mankins.
It is the first Pro Bowl trip for each Bronco.
Thomas had seven 100-yard games this season, his first to play in all 16 games since he was a first-round pick in 2010.
Beadles was the only Broncos player to play every snap this season and has played in every game since the Broncos selected him in the 2010 draft, having started all but two.
Thomas and Beadles join cornerback Champ Bailey, defensive end Elvis Dumervil, quarterback Peyton Manning and linebacker Von Miller in Honolulu. Left tackle Ryan Clady also was selected for the game but will not participate because of a shoulder injury.

Comic-Con 2012 is finally upon us, and one of the most anticipated panels of the entire convention is Guillermo del Toro's first film as a director since 2008's Hellboy II: The Golden Army. A true monster movie, Pacific Rim centers on giant human-controlled robots known as "Jaegers" fighting off giant monsters called "Kaiju." A new image from the pic has landed online, as well as some incredibly exciting quotes from del Toro himself regarding the film:
"I am an obsessive compulsive, and I can tell you without any shadow of a doubt I am involved very deeply on everything, from the pin on the lapel of a jacket to which way the monster's eye slants. I am essentially a socially inept creature. I dedicate my entire life to this. This is what I do, this is what I live for."
The new image features stars Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi, who play pilots of the robot warrior Jaegers. Hit the jump to check out the image and for more from del Toro on what to expect when Pacific Rim hits theaters.
Del Toro's love for creature effects work and monster movies isn't exactly a secret, and it's clear that he's dedicated to making Pacific Rim a spectacle like no other. When describing the battles between the Jaegers and the Kaiju, del Toro said "It is almost like seeing a tornado clashing with a hurricaine." He's intricately involved in every aspect of the production (which has wrapped filming), going so far as to develop distinct sounds for each of his creatures (per USA Today):
Every one of his monsters, which fans will be able to see for the first time on Saturday at a Warner Bros. panel, will have individual personalities and abilities. Some are adept at swimming in the depths of the sea, others fly, and one even vomits corrosive magma-like liquid. "There's a lot to love," del Toro quips.
Be sure to check back this weekend for our full recap of what's looking to be one of the most talked about panels at this year's Comic-Con. View the new Pacific Rim image to the right.

1965 Chevy C10 Buildup - Street Customs '65 C10 Build
Part 1: Who Are These Guys?
Mike Dillon likes to go fast and as a former NASCAR Busch Series driver, Mike understands the importance of quality parts, quality craftsmanship, and working with quality people. As the current General Manager of Richard Childress Racing, Mike is surrounded by talented people who share his enthusiasm for achieving excellence and who understand his need for speed. When the North Carolina native decided it was time to begin a "small truck project", he contacted someone whose attention to detail and mechanical know-how once secured him a spot on several top race teams—Jim Smith, of Street Customs and Restorations, in Mooresville, North Carolina. Delivering Jim a well-used and heavily-rusted '65 Chevy C10, the duo went over a game plan for the project build. Mike wanted a truck with some power, a stance suitable for a 20/22-inch wheel combo, and as a tribute to Dale Earnhardt, the truck needed to be black with some red accents.
Once GM caught wind of a custom Chevy being built for someone who is a part of a Chevrolet-sponsored race team, a torque monster Ram Jet 502 big-block was delivered for the Bow Tie. With that much power on hand and the old frame in dire condition, an order was placed to Jim Myer Racing for a full rolling chassis. Tearing into the C10, the SCR crew quickly realized that if the truck was to be black, it would need a great deal of bodywork. We hear it so often, but what started out as a project truck for Mike and his sons to cruise around in, quickly turned into a frame off, every-bolt-new build, and in doing so, became one of America's finest '60s era C10s. Follow along as we show you the tear down and first part of this world-class buildup. Be sure to check back next issue when the truck begins to really take form.

Scaling an Insights Factory for B2B growth
June 4, 2018
June 4, 2018
From services to insights …
Amid the disruptions that are slowing B2B growth, technology and communications companies must enhance their core solutions to satisfy customers' demands for better performance and faster, more efficient service. But they also need to develop new business models, revenue streams, value propositions and uses for existing assets. One of the most promising opportunities is hidden in plain sight—in the data of their B2B customers.
Accenture's Shivani Vora explains companies need to develop new B2B revenue streams and new value propositions for existing assets. See more.View Transcript
Because technology and communications companies manage the networks, sensors, circuits and infrastructures that facilitate the collection and flow of data, they are in a unique position to store, maintain, process and use the data of their enterprise customers across the data value continuum.
This continuum highlights the inverse relationship between the volume of data generated and the potential value of the data. At the bottom of the continuum, companies monetize raw data—usually with lackluster returns. At the very top, the highest-value opportunities and most innovative business models emerge. Here, companies aren't monetizing data. They are monetizing actionable insights to enable new forms of interaction and better decision-making.
To tap this new revenue stream, companies should create an EBITDA-neutral data business to fund a low-risk business model based on insight monetization. The cornerstone of this model is an "Insights Factory," which companies can establish to analyze the data of their B2B customers—and their customers' customers. The Insights Factory harnesses numerous analytical models that can produce customized outputs to support a steady stream of use cases such as channel partner optimization, contract renewals rate improvement, and even Analytics- or Insights-as-a-Service offerings.
To pursue a B2B growth strategy based on the delivery of insights, companies should take four actions:
Accenture Strategy managing director Mark Gaylard explains how an Insights Factory turns raw data into highly valuable insights that can help B2B companies grow and make better decisions.View Transcript

Although you may never visit the city on a roots trip, a special project is in the works for Lviv, Ukraine, just announced by Gesher Galicia's president Pamela Weisberger.
A very generous traveler, Dick Koops is a vocational education adviser from Groningen, Germany with an interest in Jewish history and culture. He has volunteered to take photographs of streets and/or buildings in Lviv during the weeks he will be working there on a social-service project from July 3-28.Dick will try to locate the street and, if a building still exists at that location, he will take a digital photograph of both the building and the street view, to be emailed to you.
If your family once lived in Lviv - also known as Lemberg, Lvov and Lwow --or owned a business there, and you have a specific street address, send Pamela the information before July 2.
Caveat #1: He cannot do any research for you, nor can Gesher Galicia try to discover where your ancestor might have lived in Lviv. This offer is only for people who have an existing address or a street they want photographed.
Remember that street names have changed over the years. Provide the following information when you send your request:
- Your full name and email.Pamela suggests finding these addresses in the various Polish or Galician business directories online, or from vital records, voting records, or even Holocaust-era records. Search several directors at Logan Kleinwak's Genealogy Indexer.
- Name of family/families who lived in Lviv.
- Actual, approximate or best guess for years they lived there.
- Home or business address.
- Street name and house or building number.
- Additional details about the family.
Caveat #2: There's no guarantee the building in that spot is the same one your ancestors lived or worked in - but it might be. At the least, she says, the Lviv streets still reflect the flavor of yesteryear.
Says Pamela,
Your participation in this project also gives Gesher Galicia permission to post the photographs and family information that you provide on our website at a future date as we reconstruct the Jewish population of Lviv over the years our families resided there.Contact Pamela here.
This project is just starting now, and won't be on our website for many months, but once it goes live we hope to have an interactive map of Lviv which will connect the streets to the photographs of the residences now there.
Adding a personal anecdote or details about the family who lived at an address will be used to flesh out the history of Jews in Lviv and will be most welcome if you feel comfortable with sharing it.
Please remember,however, that we cannot respond to specific questions that fall beyond the scope of this project or do additional research on your behalf.
I am not putting a limit on addresses one can request, but please prioritize. Depending on the demand, we may not get to everything...but we will try, so number your requests.
This sounds like a very exciting project. Tracing the Tribe readers with information can help grow this project quickly. Additionally, it sounds like a project that can be duplicated for other cities and towns, so put on your inspiration hat!

Judge Debra Nelson announces the six jurors selected for George Zimmerman's second degree murder trial.
Six women were selected Thursday to serve on the Florida jury that will decide if George Zimmerman is guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
The jurors — five of them white and one who is black or Hispanic, according to prosecutors — were identified in court only by number on the ninth day of selection.
Four alternates – two men and two women – were also chosen.
The panel will be sequestered during the trial, which will begin with opening statements Monday at 9 a.m. and is expected to last between two and four weeks.
Gary W. Green / Pool via Getty Images
Flanked by his defense counsel, Don West, left, and jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn, George Zimmerman stands as potential jurors enter the courtroom for his trial in Seminole circuit court on June 20, in Sanford, Fla.
Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin, 17, in self-defense after the unarmed teen attacked him during a confrontation in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.
Jury selection began June 10. By Wednesday, the pool had been winnowed to 40 potential jurors who were asked about crime, guns, self-defense, reasonable doubt and other topics by prosecutors and defense lawyers.
The fact that the final six are all women should not be a "major factor" in the outcome of the trial, legal analyst Kendall Coffey told NBC News.
"But the to the extent it tilts either way, the prosecution should not be unhappy about an all-women jury," he said.
He said that in general, women's attitudes about guns and "people engaging in confrontations instead of relying on authorities" might favor the prosecution's argument that Zimmerman was in the wrong.
"And in a perfect world, the prosecution would want to see a jury of mothers," Coffey said.
Zimmerman defense lawyer Mark O'Mara said he didn't have a strong opinion on the gender make-up of the jury.
"The one thing I am certain about with juries is I will never be able to tell what they're thinking," O'Mara said in a press conference after the selection was made. "So six women, three men, three women — I don't think that it really matters."

Editor's note: George Zimmerman has sued NBCUniversal for defamation. The company has strongly denied his allegations.
George Zimmerman, who is facing second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

A step above casual without getting too serious, the Tree Breezers help you slip into comfort while you seize the day, night, and everything in between.
What the Tree?
Maybe we were going out on a limb when we thought to make shoes out of trees. But thanks to magical eucalyptus tree fiber, our Tree material is breathable and silky-smooth, complete with a cooling effect to keep things breezy. It's naturally-derived and renewable, too, meaning it's much friendlier to the environment than traditional shoe stuff.
Breeze in, breeze out
With a silky-smooth feel and pleasing cooling effect, our tree upper's proprietary mesh knit textile delivers breathability and unrivaled comfort. Fun fact: it's made from responsibly grown and sustainably harvested eucalyptus pulp.
Moves with your moves
The Breezers' collar forms a snug, secure fit around the foot. The stretch comes from our clever ribbed knitting structure, so it's as light and breezy as the rest of the shoe while preventing your feet from shifting around.
Walk on a cloud
We line our insoles with our proprietary merino wool fabric for softness, moisture wicking, and odor reduction.
For supreme comfort and cushioning, we use castor bean oil, which also cuts carbon output when compared to petroleum-based foam.
Sweet on your feet
Born from Brazilian sugarcane, SweetFoam™ is made from the world's first carbon negative green EVA. The sole's contours provide bouncy comfort that's light on your feet as well as the planet. It's as sweet as it sounds.
