When Sound+Vision looked at Klipsch's LightSpeakers in the summer of 2010, we'd hardly have guessed such devices were more than novelties. Looks like we were wrong.
The Klipsch model had won an Innovations award at that year's CES, but even that hadn't convinced us of its staying power — and since then, the Klipsch incarnation of the LightSpeaker has been discontinued; a similar Altec Lansing Sound Bulb line went missing out of the gate. But over the past year and half, the lamp/speaker hybrid product category has exploded, with several competing systems now on the market. (By the way, if you're looking for a deal and don't feel you have to be particularly up to date, you can find the Klipsch units being closed out by High Fidelity Wireless.)
So have no fear — if you've been hoping to repurpose your ceiling receptacles as speaker cabinets you're still in luck, and if you'd been hoping to press your standing lamps into service, the situation is better than ever. The lamp/speaker combos available today are simple to use (well, at least as simple as any wireless devices without displays can be, but so long as you're able to wait for a blinking LED to stabilize, you'll be fine — all three of the units here can be set up for basic operation without so much as a glance at the manual).
First things first — these combo units aren't going to get you anything close to "room filling" sound on their own, and frankly, you can probably get better audio for less money from a whole lot of Bluetooth speakers, iOS docks, and powered speaker pairs these days. These combo units do, however, let you fill in the gaps in your listening environment, providing access to casual listening in spaces (perhaps by the kitchen sink, or in a bathroom) where you might already have a light source, but would otherwise be unable or reluctant to install a freestanding audio device, even a wireless one.
MusicLites, by Osram Sylvania (in-wall/surround/low-profile speaker specialists Artison provide the audio component of the combo) are the most feature-rich of the bunch, and are the most clearly intended for the kind of whole-house audio duties custom installers would otherwise take care of.
At $350 for the most basic install (each MusicLite light/speaker unit costs $250, transmitter not included — USB and Toslink/1/8-inch input versions are $100; an iOS dongle runs $120), and with matching trim rings available for recessed outlets from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, the MusicLites aren't cheap, but if you're looking for maximum flexibility from your light/speaker combo units, this system is probably your best bet. You'll be able to make use of just about any audio source, and you can configure your system in a dizzying variety of ways.
A 20-watt class D amp provides power to a 2 and 3/4 inch driver; Waves' MaxxBass algorithm adds some psychoacoustic ballast to the low end (the company claims "perceived" low-frequency response extends on down to 50 Hz, though I'm not sure I heard very much going on down there).
The device's strength (and where it most closely adheres to the notion of these things as custom-install substitutes) is in the ease with which you can set up complex multi-room and multi-zone setups. Each transmitter can be configured to broadcast to up to 5 zones, which can include up to 12 MusicLites each. Within the zones, individual MusicLites can be set to playback as left channels, right channels, or left+right (the setting is made via a small toggle on each unit). The remote control can adjust audio levels and lighting dimmer levels independently for each zone.
If that's not enough for you, each transmitter and bulb can be set up to operate using any one of 10 available "house codes" — basically independent networks. Within each house code you can operate three transmitters, so you should be able to build as convoluted a network as you desire, (MusicLites advises, however, that you'll probably start to run into interference issues in the 2.4 GHz band if you use more than three such networks of any size within a typical home.)
Configuration is accomplished via a small pot on each device, adjustable with a jeweler's screwdriver. Dead simple, really. The remote (provided with the transmitter) offers easy switching between source devices and zones and control of volume within them.
Within limits, the MusicLite sounds acceptable. I got to hear a single unit demoed in a quiet environment, and the sound is comparable to what you might get from a clock radio — there's no mistaking this for a dedicated audio solution, but given the convenience they're certainly good enough for casual listening, especially given the placement flexibility. If you're looking to put together a complex multiroom system that doesn't involve any architectural work, the MusicLites do have an impressively deep multizone implementation, but while it might make sense to outfit a few difficult rooms, the overall cost of a large setup composed entirely of MusicLites might have you thinking again about fishing cables through your walls.
Based around Texas Instruments' PurePath Wireless Audio chip, the Sound of Light "lamp speaker" deviates somewhat from the dominant paradigm. Rather than being an integrated LED/powered speaker designed to fit a screw-in Edison socket, it's a lamp base (complete with harp to hold a lampshade) with a socket — you supply the bulb of your choice (I threw in an LED model, but if your tastes run towards the incandescent, this is really your only choice in the light speaker arena). Also, this opens up some atmospheric possibilities — colored bulbs, a private disco — that'd be a little difficult with the other alternatives.
Each unit include a 25-watt Class D amp coupled with a 3-inch driver that fires upward towards the bulb (downward, of course, if this were to be in a ceiling or pendant lamp setup). This all makes for a bulkier "bulb" assembly than the MusicLite, but then again it costs only half as much per speaker/lamp unit. A starter package (including a single lamp speaker, a transmitter, remote, and attendant cables) costs $299; additional lamp speaker units cost $129 each).
The SoL transmitter base station supports up to four speakers, and includes a subwoofer output, a nice touch if you want a slightly more fulfilling music-listening system or you're looking to build a 2.1 home theater arrangement around a pair of lamps placed tastefully to either side of your TV. Sound of Light offers fairly simple configuration options — if you purchase multiple bulbs, they can be grouped into two zones per base station, with independent adjustment over volume and light intensity in each readily accessible via the base station and the included remote. Multiple sources aren't supported, the zones are volume only — the base station sports two stereo pairs of inputs (1/8-inch and RCA), but only one can be active at a time. As with the other systems, additional bulbs can be configured as left channel, right channel, or left+right.
Setup is dead simple. I mounted a test unit in a standing lamp (the harp was a bit large for placement in a recessed ceiling receptacle). As with the other light speakers, sonics were, if not strictly hi-fi, certainly acceptable given the format; the SoL unit benefits somewhat from the larger housing and driver.
Interestingly, there's a tone control onboard, though it's meant, says the company, to adjust for varying lampshade material density, should you be distributing your bulbs among unmatched lamps. Probably a good idea, though with a single bulb onhand I wasn't able to judge the effectiveness of the treble cut in matching tone among multiple units.
GiiNii, (probably best known as a purveyor of digital picture frames, though they were also showing an interesting little Bluetooth speaker, the BluCan, at CES this year) have been licensing their Audio Light techology for a while, but this year they've come to market with their own retail version, the AudioBulb. Each Bulb sports a 10-watt amp, driving a 2-and-1/4-inch driver.The system supports up to 8 Bulbs, which can be configured in two zones (which can be defined as either mono or stereo).
On a per-bulb basis, the GiiNii is certainly the most affordable of the current crop of combo units, coming in at a tidy $30 less than the Sound of Light units.
The AudioBulb's transmitter base is notable in that it's primarily designed as an iPod/iPhone dock, (an iPad won't fit), though an auxiliary 1/8-inch jack is also provided should you feel like hooking up some other device) The GiiNii system is clearly meant to be a whole lot more consumer-friendly that the competition, and the focus on everybody's favorite media player and constant companion makes sense in light of that. A remote control lets you manage things without remaining tied to the base station, though you'll have to leave your iDevice parked in the dock.
The form factor of the AudioBulb itself is a little odd for placement outside of recessed receptacles (the LEDs are placed, surrounding the driver, on the business end of the device), though the company was showing off their product in standing lamps in Vegas, and each bulb ships with a harp and a lamp reflector shield, which mitigates the directionality a bit.
It's tough to make a selection based purely on audio quality here — unless you deploy a good number of these units, you're not going to be getting serious fidelity out of any lamp/speaker combo. But if you're committed to wiring your lamps for sound, you'll want to think about your needs and desires, since similar as these products may be, they do vary somewhat. The Sound of Light might make the most sense if you want the device that plays the loudest and gives you the widest range of actual illumination options. The AudioBulb is clearly the most affordable, and the MusicLites system — though pricey by comparison — is by far the most flexible. Should you want to explore multiroom or multizone audio (or if you're just the kind of person who wants to hide your speakers away), you might want to give these things a listen. And a look, of course.
What surprises me here is the lack of understanding of the technology involved with the deployment of these systems. All of these system involve multi-source, multi-zone configurations, they control both sound and light. Second they are intended for uses where you don't want to look at a bunch of boxy, clunky speakers cluttering up the kitchen, the bathroom, the patio, the family room, the den, the dining room. If you don't understand that ask either your wife or your interior designer you will likely find they have an opinion you haven't expressed here. They are intended for hidden use (try hiding those powered speakers you're talking about and see how they sound) and they do this better than virtually any other product on the market and certainly for the price.
(continued from below)...
Challenging the concept based upon the bass output makes as much sense as putting 10 inch driver into your computer; bass is easy to get and some of these companies solutions already provide it. They provide it with the same ease as they do the rest of the system. Name any other hidden system that can be deployed in your home or business that can be completed in one hour or less (four room, two zones, two sources). Not only that but installing it won't inconvenience the homeowner for a week, you won't have 2 people you've never met before walking around in every room of your house, there won't be any dust, no one will accidentally drill or cut into a gas line, and there won't be any touch-up painting to do. Also I'd recommend you test those blue tooth systems first to see if the signal going to get to your speakers (oh yeah, and blue tooth is always sent compressed),
As to what you can get from these system consider that each wireless link provides for pure digital CD quality sound to each speaker, that cannot be done through any normal (affordable) wire that you would run to any in-wall or in-ceiling speaker (it's physically impossible there's too much resistance in the wire, and you can say this doubly if you use 4 ohm or less speakers).
Additionally rather than the one or two bands of control over the usual box speaker frequency, all of these technologies use DSP to control the driver frequency response which means that they can control up to 20 bands making accurate sound a much higher possibility. And certainly squeezing more from a 3 in driver than any conventional speaker builder could possibly do.
Challenging the price as too high seems naive as well, since any one of these systems can provide a minimum of 2 zones and 2 sources to 4 (or many more) rooms of audio (plus you get inexpensive light as well but forget that for now). They can give this distribution and control, with subwoofers, for less than $5000 for an entire home. Ask any installer to retrofit a home for with this type of control and see what the cost will be ($10,000? ...$15,000?)
I have personally demonstrated these "fully deployed" systems to literally hundreds of average homeowners and I can assure you that they believe the sound is far, far better than just "adequate". In fact to this date I have not had a single person who was not impressed or more appropriately "blown away" by the demonstration. I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate such a system to you (16 LightSpeakers, 4 SubWoofers, and 2 AudioRocks), the editors of this magazine; I absolutely believe you will be impressed, and find it far beyond "adequate".
Ed Haase
Thanks for the response. I've actually agreed with you in many ways throughout much of this piece, and did identify these (in particular the MusicLites) as being of interest to those wanting a multiroom/multizone experience without having to do extensive architectural work, and for those who don't want to look at speakers. You're right — there's no other hidden system that can be installed as quickly, and traditional custom installs can be a huge pain to both installers and customers, but there are some caveats.
First, I suppose my comments are based on the fact that these systems are nowadays being pitched directly to consumers as single bulb, two-channel, and 2.1 systems. In those cases, they don't — to my ear — provide the same bang for the buck as dedicated audio devices. I can imagine a very large-scale MusicLites installation of the sort you mention being quite useful, especially supported with subs and additional hidden speaker placements.
I still think the price starts to get high enough with a large system that somebody might be tempted to think about alternatives — either going with a dedicated wireless audio system, be it Sonos, or an AirPlay setup, or AirPort Expresses driving powered speakers, etcetera, and addressing the lighting issues some other way.
I'm curious, though — how (since I assume you're installing these regularly) are you controlling and distributing sources throughout the system? Also, what subs are you using alongside and how are you managing those wireless connections? How are you integrating these into a larger wireless system with other products? I'm genuinely interested to know.
So far as I can tell the transmitters supplied with these systems are pretty bare bones so far as number of supplied inputs, and provide no simple way to manage a complex system with multiple inputs, say via an iOS/Android app that could allow access from anywhere. It seems like there would be additional costs associated with distro and control above and beyond the initial system cost.
When I'm thinking of alternatives, I'm just saying that these exist in an expanding world of wireless products these days, some of which offer very nice controller options, from Sonos to the various AirPlay implementations, to a whole host of wireless digital media receivers.
Thanks again for reading.

Lea Michele Sarfati (born August 29, 1986) is an American actress and singer. She portrays Rachel Berry on FOX's hit TV show, Glee. Lea has worked on the show for three seasons now and is currently portraying Rachel in the fourth season. She is the 7th member of the cast to announce that she is working on a solo album. On October 19th, 2012 she announced that she was in the studio recording her first song for her album. In an interview with Perez Hilton she said her album will have a lot of 'Kelly Clarkson' type ballads.

Personal life
Born in the Bronx, New York, Michele had no early ambition to be a singer. Her lucky break came when she tagged along with a friend to an open audition for a Broadway musical and as they say, fate stepped in. Michele was just eight when she landed her first Broadway role as Young Cosette in the New York production of Les Misérables. Three years later, Michele played The Little Girl in the original Broadway cast of Ragtime alongside Audra McDonald, Marin Mazzie, and Brian Stokes Mitchell. She later played Shprintze (u/s Chava) in Fiddler on the Roof and the title character in The Diary of Anne Frank.
However, it was her role as fourteen-year-old Wendla Bergman in the new musical Spring Awakening that changed her life. Nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, Michele won rave reviews from both critics and audiences alike. While on the west coast, she went along to audition for some television pilots. The second one she read for was Glee, and she was instantly cast as high school vocal diva Rachel Berry. Making the transition from theatre to television, Michele has continued to wow fans with her powerhouse lead vocals. This young actress has been nominated for a two Golden Globe, and Emmy and a Teen Choice Award. She went on to win a Satellite Award in the Best Actress category, a People's Choice Award for favorite actress in a comedy and also shared a Screen Actors Guild award for an Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Child Star: Michele has virtually grown up onstage, making her Broadway debut at age 8 as Young Cosette in Les Miserables. Landing the role from an open call, the young actress has hardly stopped working since, going from Les Miz to the Toronto and Broadway companies of Ragtime, followed by a brief stint in high school ("It was my fun, normal time!" she quips) and then the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. "I've kinda had to grow up fast," Michele says frankly, "but it's made me who I am. I have some awesome friends from high school, and I've also been able to work with people like Marin Mazzie, Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell—I mean, come on! I wouldn't change any of it. This is exactly where I want to be."
Sounds of Spring: Michele's journey with Spring Awakening began at 14 when she originated the role of Wendla in the first workshop. Since then, she's remained one of the only constants in the show's development. The other constant: Duncan Sheik's acclaimed contemporary rock score, which Michele declares she's "obsessed" with. "I was raised on the classic Broadway shows, but there's another side of me that's listening to Kelly Clarkson and rockin' out to pop music," she says. "That's the amazing thing about this show—the way that I grew up listening to Alanis Morissette's Ironic or the way that girls blast Since U Been Gone is the same way you can blast Bitch of Living or Don't Do Sadness. There's a song in Spring Awakening for every single kid out there going through all of the issues of growing up. That's why I'm most proud to be part of this show."
Baring It All: Michele has some of the most intense moments in Spring Awakening, including a controversial sex scene at the end of Act 1. Michele's character Wendla ends up topless onstage as she and costar Jonathan Groff's character Melchior explore their sexuality for the first time. "People like to focus on that scene," she says. "I always get questions like 'How does it make you feel? How do your parents feel?' You know what? It's a sex scene. It's risky, but I am so comfortable working with [co-star] Jonathan Groff. He makes it easy for me." She's quick to point out that every cast member gets a moment to bare their souls onstage before the end of the show: "I don't consider [the sex scene] any more challenging or intense or risky than anything anyone else does on the stage," she explains. "Everyone is putting themselves out there."Eponine or Wendla?: Michele faced a dilemma most young actresses would dream of—whether to play Eponine in the revival of Les Miserables (she was cast during rehearsals for Spring Awakening's off-Broadway run) or follow Sheik and company uptown. "I can't express to you how much I love Les Miz," she says. "I grew up with it. It will always be important to me. But after working on Wendla for six years, I felt I owed it to her and myself and the creative team to take this next step." She remains hopeful of getting another chance to sing "On My Own" one day. "Maybe they'll revive it a third time. Why not?" she says with a smile. Role Model: Asked about her dream roles, the sprightly young actress speaks first of her favorite leading lady. "I'm such a fan of Idina Menzel!" Michele exclaims. "I think she's made a wonderful career in this business. I love her so much, and any role she's played, I'd love to be able to follow in her footsteps." Indeed, the "L" word becomes a refrain when Michele talks about her future onstage. "I love the theater!" she says with joy. "I'd love to be able to play all different roles, whether it's Maureen in Rent or Maria in West Side Story. I would just love to be involved in this business forever."
Lea landed her first movie role with New Year's Eve (2011) and Dorothy of Oz (2012). The movie (New Year's Eve) Lea's role of Elise, who is back up singer for Jon Bon Jovi. With Dorothy of Oz, it is an upcoming computer-animated film based on the book by Roger Stanton Baum by the same name, Lea will be playing the title role of Dorothy Gale.Lea guest mentored on the Season Two's premiere of The Glee Project.
Lea is currently dating her Glee co-star, Cory Monteith.
- "But as far as doing more television, I don't think that will be something I'll do unless it were some sort of continuation of playing Rachel Berry, because I think she's the greatest character ever."
- "When we're doing the serious stuff, I'm like, 'Oh, let's get back to the comedy,' and when we're doing comedy, we crave more of those dramatic story lines. But I think it's so equally balanced on the show that I feel satisfied. I did every sort of tragic Broadway musical possible -- I died, I had abortions, I was poor, I was an immigrant. ... Thankfully, Glee came along because I just couldn't do the tragedies anymore."
- "I remember looking up to Barbra Streisand in high school, and told myself 'Finally, Jewish singer who didn't get a nose job'"
- (during her audition for Glee) That wasn't supposed to be funny. That was my serious moment. Now I'm going to do it again and I want you all to cry.
- (at an interview) "Listen, my father has offered Jonathan millions to marry me, right Jonathan?"
- "Cory is such a goofball. I swear to God, that kid can make me laugh."
- (about the sex scene) "When Cory and I were doing our scene, the crew came up to us and they were like, 'Look. We just want you to know that Darren and Chris were really hot. They went for it,' So I was like, 'Listen, Monteith. We've got to do better than them. We've got to turn these people on! And we have to top those boys!' Poor Cory. But it was great. It really was."
- "Broadway is the air that I breathe."
- (on her career aspirations) "I plan on playing every role on Broadway."
- "If anyone tells me I can't eat, then I'm going to tell them to you-know-what themselves."
- (On the sex scene in Spring Awakening) "It wasn't until I came back to see the show that I was like, 'Oh my god. I did that every single night.' I was sitting next to people and I was like, 'Cover your eyes! Cover your eyes!'"
- The first song I ever sang was "Angel of Music," and I haven't stopped singing since.
- "I'm such a huge Radiohead fan. I wanted to make sure we kept the integrity of this incredible band." -Lea on singing Creep by Radiohead for Glee.
- "My personal style couldn't be any further from Rachel's. I am very comfortable, casual, and simple, and Rachel Berry is just Rachel Berry."
- "Never be afraid to sing out."
- "Don't forget to hug your friends today."
- "I've always been proud of my body. Hollywood's Hollywood, but that's not going to change."

Long Turquoise Earrings - Mexican Alpaca Silver
Women belonging to the Art Camp project in Mexico handcast these earrings in alpaca silver and inlay the semi-precious stones of malachite, turquoise, and abalone, creating a mosaic. The elongated drop is elegant yet perfect for casual wear, the top and bottom of which are inlaid with abalone and triangles of malachite and turquoise fill the center. Earrings hang 5 cm from hypoallergenic hooks.
- Alpaca silver is a high gloss pewter alloy that does not tarnish
- The back of the earring is solid alpaca silver, providing the base for the inlay
- As the earrings are handmade from natural stone, patterns in the stone and colors will vary.
- All production is performed by women of the Art Camp cooperative
- Due to the handmade nature of the piece, please allow for some slight variances in the pattern
- As a Fair Trade product, all persons involved in its production make a fair wage.
About the Artisan
The artisans of Tecalpulco, Mexico have long been known for their silver and abalone Mexican fashion jewelry. Art Camp, short for Artesanas Campesinas or rural women artisans, is a women-owned cooperative that continues this tradition. The group continues to introduces new methods, materials, and machinery to compete in the highly competitive jewelry market, surviving a collapse in the 1990's in the marketability of their pieces with the influx of jewelry from other countries to the US market.
The women have become business women, understanding the importance of customer service, quality, and design. The jewelry product range includes semi-precious stones, shells, or tiny flowers captured in resin accentuated by silver alloys or precious metals. The tradition of fine Mexican jewelry is present in each piece.

Page 1 of 1 : Pubs and Clubs Business for Sale in Middlesex (2)
The licensed industry has always had a strong following in the 18 – 24 year demographic, however following the smoking ban and the ever increasing popularity of celebrity chef culture the gastro pub offers an experience appealing across society encompassing family groups and senior citizens alike.
The key to having a successful Pub or Club is identifying your client base and directly marketing to it. The most dynamic licensee's achieve significant awareness across a broad spectrum of customers through experienced based initiatives such as hosting quizzes, tournaments, specialty food nights, karaoke, ladies nights, etc., – all have merit and with a combination of marketing and good quality customer service will be rewarded with customer loyalty.
In order to maximise revenue the successfully licensee keeps business expenses to a minimum. Business expenses are more than merely the shrewd purchasing of stock and stock control. Premises costs need to be monitored and reviewed, most overheads are variable, so, to maximise net profit ensure staffing levels and therefore the wage bill is optimal.

Red silk broomstick skirt, green fleur de lys corset over a white long sleeved button down, and have my hair up in a french twist topped with a pearl circlet which looks very dramatic against my almost black hair. Also green crystal and marcasite pendant on a twisty silver chain.

It's been a brutal first half in Indiana for both teams offensively, but J.R. Smith provided a momentary reprieve from the darkness with this thunderous slam dunk over Ian Mahinmi of the Pacers.
Smith explodes to the rim from beyond the three-point arc, and seems to have the rim in his sights from the moment he puts the ball on the floor. Mahinmi comes over late to try to contest, and catches Smith with the body giving him the and-1 opportunity.
We won't be too hard on J.R. since he provided essentially the lone highlight of the game's first two quarters. But it's worth noting that he finished the first half just 3-of-11 from the field in almost 19 minutes of action.

Pelicans' Greivis Vasquez will have surgery on both ankles
May 24, 2013, 11:28 AM EDT
If I'd had a vote, Greivis Vasquez would have gotten mine for Most Improved Player award — the third-year guard averaged 13.9 points and 9 assists per game for the then Hornets (now Pelicans) this past season, playing smart basketball along the way for a team that was grooming Anthony Davis and waiting for Eric…
Report: Mavericks going to make run at Jarrett Jack, Jerryd Bayless
May 24, 2013, 11:00 AM EDT
The Mavericks top off-season goal is to try and sign Dwight Howard. Have fun with that, knowing what we do about Howard it should be a quick and decisive process. But they need more than just a big man. It was evident this season the Mavs need better point guard play, and somebody who can…
Pacers' Vogel says Heat have more "intelligent" plan vs. Hibbert than Knicks
May 24, 2013, 10:18 AM EDT
Roy Hibbert made life difficult in the paint for the Knicks in the second round — we've all seen Hibbert block Carmelo Anthony's shot at the rim but that is just the tip of the iceberg. He altered and blocked all kinds of shots inside and owned the paint. The Miami heat scored 60 points…
It's a little tough to predict where the Clippers' coaching search might lead because hiring a coach is a task owner Donald Sterling takes on personally. He has for a long time. He was the guy charmed by Vinny Del Negro and hired him when the basketball operations people wanted to go another direction (and…
Warriors' Landry faces tough decision: Should he stay or should he go now?
May 24, 2013, 8:10 AM EDT
You get this sense with the Warriors — guys like playing there now. You could feel the team chemistry when you watch them play. They liked each other, they were having fun together. And that was fun to watch. Carl Landry wants to stay a part of that. But the NBA is a business. Landry…
Report: Knicks' J.R. Smith played end of season with fluid in his knee
May 24, 2013, 7:21 AM EDT
J.R. Smith struggled in the playoffs. Well, he looked great the first couple games but he really struggled after returning from a one-game suspension for an elbow to the head of Boston's Jason Terry in the first round. Against the Pacers he averaged 14 points a game but on just 29 percent shooting. His play…
Carlesimo reiterates what we all know: The Nets aren't winning a title
May 24, 2013, 7:01 AM EDT
Veteran coach P.J. Carlesimo has landed on his feet. After the Brooklyn Nets let him walk when the season ended he strolled over to ESPN and has landed a job as an analyst (essentially taking the Flip Saunders job). Carlesimo held a conference call on Thursday to talk all things NBA, but much of the…
PBT Draft preview: Victor Oladipo may be the hottest prospect in the draft

For the next few weeks PBT will be profiling likely first-round draft picks in the upcoming NBA Draft. Today we talk about Indiana's wingman.

Celtics deny Nets permission to speak with head coach Doc Rivers
May 23, 2013, 11:20 PM EDT
The Nets are looking to hire a big name with a strong track record to fill their vacant head coaching position, after parting ways with interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo following a season that ended with a first round playoff loss in seven games at the hands of the Bulls. Brooklyn reached out to Phil…
Roy Hibbert believes Shane Battier's knee to his groin in Game 1 was intentional
May 23, 2013, 7:01 PM EDT
Late in the first quarter of the Heat's overtime Game 1 win over the Pacers, Shane Battier drove into the lane and challenged Roy Hibbert on a layup attempt. Battier's form was more than a little unorthodox as he went up for the shot, leading with his right knee that caught Hibbert squarely below the…
PBT Extra: Talking Heat/Pacers, and why Indy might be optimistic
May 23, 2013, 6:51 PM EDT
Today Kay Adams and I are talking what everyone else is — Heat vs. Pacers. I feel bad for Paul George because the Pacers wouldn't have been in the game at the end if not for him, but that's not what anyone will remember. And of course, we talk sitting Roy Hibbert a little —…
Mike Krzyzewski must replace Nate McMillan as Team USA assistant
May 23, 2013, 6:11 PM EDT
Mike Krzyzewski will return as Team USA's head basketball coach, but he must replace both his NBA assistants. Not only is Mike D'Antoni moving on, so will Nate McMillan, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports. McMillian, via Spears: "It was a great experience with Coach K," McMillan said. "Jerry Colangelo did a great…
If Phil Jackson could have any player to start a team it would be… Bill Russell
May 23, 2013, 5:16 PM EDT
It's all about the rings. For Phil Jackson — out promoting his book "Eleven Rings" — it's always been about the hardware. It's about building a real team around the stars he was given, about managing the egos, about having a team that didn't seem fazed by the biggest stages. So when Time Magazine asked…
Sixers GM Hinkie missed draft lottery… maybe to talk to Brian Shaw?
May 23, 2013, 4:10 PM EDT
If the Philadelphia 76ers had beaten the odds and won the NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday it would have made new GM Sam Hinkie's life a little easier. But he would have heard about it on the phone, he wasn't in New York. And he wasn't at home in front of his television with a beer,…
Pablo Prigioni reportedly was considering returning to Spain in part because his wife wanted to go back, but the Knicks guard is making intentions clear now. Marc Berman of the New York Post: "If I can choose, I prefer to play in the United States and stay in the NBA,'' Prigioni said on Argentine radio.…
520px;"> Phil Jackson has been virtually everywhere the last couple weeks selling his new book "Eleven Rings" but one of my favorite interviews so far is the one from last night with John Stewart on The Daily Show. And not because as a Knicks fan Stewart wants to know about those two rings. It's near…

It's just after 8 p.m. The word is a police car has been hit and a white truck has crashed on a quiet street in northwest Regina.
"They didn't get a plate for that truck, did they?" asks Det.-Cpl. Criddle, a member of the Regina Police Service Stolen Auto Unit.
I shake my head and glance at the sheet on my lap. It lists vehicles stolen in the city over the past two weeks, but there's no white truck.
We arrive at the scene, where the truck has come to an abrupt stop after crunching into a large tree.
Plastic and glass debris from two other vehicles - side-swiped by the truck on its way past - litter the road.
Neighbours are out discussing the unusual Monday night event, their neat gardens lit up by flashing red and blue lights.
It turns out the truck was stolen from outside Regina, but how it ended up hitting a Regina police car and crashing on this street - with two allegedly drunken youths inside - is anyone's guess.
We head back to police headquarters where one of the boys, who is from Moose Jaw, will soon be interviewed.
By the end of that interview, he'll be tired.
And, although police will have called her, he won't really want to speak to his mom.
. . .
Criddle says young offenders steal the majority of vehicles in Regina.
He takes me to talk to one - a 14-year-old boy who was caught five times by police before being sentenced to house arrest.
A telltale black electronic monitoring anklet on his leg, the boy says he first started stealing cars because he saw friends do it and "thought it was cool.
"I just got used to it, you know?" he says, standing on the landing of his North Central home.
He says he and his friends would walk the streets, testing doors. When they found one unlocked, they'd search for the keys and "if you get them, then off you go."
The boy admits he didn't take police seriously when they told him he'd be imprisoned if he didn't shape up and, when he did end up under house arrest, he was "really mad.
"But I guess I kind of deserved it," he says, shrugging. "I mean, I stole a lot of cars."
His says his biggest regret is drawing his little brother - who has just turned 11 - into stealing cars, and the youth says he'll smarten up once his electronic monitoring is over in four weeks.
It's not as though these vehicles are being lifted to sell or strip - it's simply to joyride. With no tangible benefit, why do it?
"I've kind of thought about it and, yeah, it's kind of pointless because you can't keep a car forever," he says, scratching his elbow.
"I guess it just makes people feel cool and makes older people want to hang around with you. It was fun."
He shakes my hand and goes back inside.
His dinner is ready. . . .
Over a coffee, Criddle explains his biggest frustration.
"People have a really, really bad habit of leaving their keys in their cars," he says, fingers staccato on the table.
"They'll leave them under the floor mat in their car and think no one will find them, but these kids do and they'll just take the car. Go joyriding."
Of the 1,010 vehicles stolen in Regina last year, 18 per cent were left unlocked with the keys inside.
So far this year, that number stands at 17 per cent. Three of them were last weekend.
The number of car thefts in Regina is down significantly from a high of 3,844 in 2001, but the cost of theft is sizable - particularly when it comes to those easily avoided by locking car doors.
According to SGI, the 2011 cost of thefts where keys were left in a vehicle totalled $2.2 million.
On top of that is the cost of car diggers - people who scrounge through unlocked cars, grabbing iPods, cash and other easyto-lift valuables.
"Just think how easy it would be to stop those thefts," Criddle says.
"We could cut 18 per cent of thefts, stop those car diggers. It's an easy fix. I just wish people would do it."

Bought these shoes in Wakkii and LOVED them. I wear them all the time in Seattle even in the rain. I am about to buy another pair.
My First CROCS Purchase
My first purchase and I am sold on Crocs!!! I cannot wear flip-flops so these are easy to slide on and off. Wore them to work today-they are not too casual for the office. Everyone commented on them. After years of buying athletic slides at Target (cheap) which always hurt my feet, I feel like I'm walking on a cloud! Lesson learned: spend the extra money to get comfort and quality. They look really durable and the round disc adds to the fashion.

So Comfortable!
I LOVE these sandals. I bought a pair in black for work and couldn't believe how comfortable they were. I then bought another pair in black, a navy, pink and a brown pair. These are so comfortable. I don't understand some of the reviews. I have a wide foot and they fit perfectly. I ordered a 9 and I am going to order another pair so if they discontinue them I will have enough. They cushion my feet and my sole doesn't hurt like with regular sandals. Please make more on the same line as these. I like that they are almost flat too.
Wear Crocs all day everyday!
I agree with the other review of Sanrah, they run narrow and short, heel is not the normal croc cushion. I was disappointed, my little toes are sore from fit being narrow!
`I feel like I am tipping in these sandals!

With a smooth, microfiber face for easy layering, offset shoulder seams for pack-wearing comfort and a zippered chest pocket.
- Versatile R1 fleece provides excellent stretch, warmth, wicks moisture and breathes in a variety of temperatures

Last night I attended the Northern Ireland Design Alliance's first lecture of 2013 and the first in a new series called "The Anatomy of Design." As I often say I'm not a 'designer', but this event had much broader appeal than just to the pixel pusher or crayon merchant.
Stephen McCarthy, a native of Dublin and graphic/print designer by trade, spoke on the acclaimed work of the UK's Government Digital Services. Focusing on the 10 design principles of the GDS and the launch of GOV.UK (or boring.com as everyone's favourite doom merchant would have you believe).
I, with Pete assisting, was there capturing the event on video, due to be published next week, all being well. Give @gooddesignni a follow now for updates on when it's published and information on the next event, due to be held June 20th. Thanks to Richard and Sarah from CC Skills for hosting it and having us along!

In Washington, the U.S. official told CNN that Syria has been launching Scuds about twice a day from outside Damascus toward Aleppo. The official could not confirm which Aleppo neighborhoods were hit, however.
The Soviet-era Scud became notorious when Iraq used the medium-range missiles against allied forces and Israel during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. None of the recently launched missiles has struck across the border in Turkey, where the United States, the Netherlands and Germany have deployed Patriot missiles to protect civilians.
The U.S. official said Washington is still watching recent indications that Syria has moved some of its chemical weapons stockpiles. The Obama administration believes those movements are consolidating stockpiles for more secure storage away from opposition strongholds, the official said.

Obama Isn't Concerned About the Very Poor
The media have been aghast over GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney's remark in an interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien last week that the very poor in this country can go to hell. The comment supposedly reinforces Romney's image as a cold, heartless country club Republican who eats orphans for breakfast.
Of course Romney said no such thing; what he said was, "I'm in this race because I care about Americans. I'm not concerned about the very poor—we have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich—they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 to 95% of Americans who right now are struggling."
Only a party with a very dull, tiresome axe to grind would willfully misunderstand the obvious meaning of Romney's response. (Then again, this is the party that heard "I like being able to fire people… If someone doesn't give me a good service… I want to say, 'I'm going to go get someone else to provide that service to me'" as proof of a sadistic streak.) read more »

text: This is a deep value screen based on Ben Graham's writings. It is a simplistic screen which just looks for stocks where the market cap is less than net current asset value. It is not to be confused with his more involved Enterprising Investor and Defensive Investor criteria which have been modelled separately. As a reminder, NCAV = Current Assets - Total Liabilities. That's a stringent requirement, since most companies have negative NCAVs but Graham was looking for firms trading so cheap that there was little danger of falling further. In addition, Graham would have requested a margin of safety of at least 33%, so his P/NCAV threshold would have been 0.66. Graham argued such companies were typically priced at significant discounts to the likely value that stockholders could receive in an actual sale or liquidation of the entire corporation. Because of the kind of unloved/troubled companies it generates, this is not a strategy for the faint-hearted. Graham sought safety from individual bankruptcy risk by diversifying his portfolio with a large numbers of companies – he suggested 30. more »

Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Who was playoff ready tonight?? Pistons or Sixers?? Even if the Pistons had won the game, Joe should have gone down there to chew out Flip and the team. Yeah Flip can't take any shots, but the lack of rotation/substitution in the third came back to haunt us. The Zoo crew didn't deliver this time because AA and AJ were not a part of it and some guy named Rookie Stuckey froze out there in the 4th holding on to the rock to long waiting for vets like Hunter and Tay to get open. I heard a sound byte that Sheed took responsibility for the loss....(maybe that foolishness in the last 11 sweconds of going into their huddle and joking).. Did CB take any responsibility or blame? He missed 3 ft's in crunch time, missed six Fgs and got outplayed by Andre Miller. Other than some first half hustle by SHeed, only Max played like he wanted to win the game. Evans was this years Anderson Vaerejo, out hustling our bigs and littles. Aggressiveness seems to beat the Pistons and some how we don't play aggressive when we get into the playoffs. How's this for nervous vets >Billups, Hamilton and Dyess 10-35 shooting??? Bench 8-13 (including 6-8 from Max). No home team sporting a 1 or 2 seed should lose a game when leading by 15 points midway thru the third quarter. It's only one game, but the pressure of winning game 2 is huge....so please Pistons wake up!!!
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Please don't pick on Max. He said nice things about the new chat, plus he watches every game 4.5 times in frame by frame slow motion.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM that is the point, boston will sweep hawks..........................pistons will struggle to win their first round series
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM What's so funny about that? The Pistons didn't have that attitude before Flip got here.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Yes, I most certainly can blame it on the coach. Bringing your starters back with 8 minutes to go in the game is borderline absurd. This is a playoff intensity game. You kind of need a bit of rest to play well against young sprites 10 years younger than you are. Billups is a marvelous player, but human. Sheed can rest for the next ten years by the way, and it won't help. Then he would be 43, and still not capable of playing the kind of minutes he played tonight. In game rest is just as important as rest in the previous week. Especially for older players. And the bigger they are, the more rest they need. Trust me in this, I have been watching a lot of NBA basketball. Younger, lighter, players have an advantage when it comes to playing heavy minutes. Sheed is hardly either one of those things.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM You sure? 4.5 times. Now, I watch them five times. Thats the problem right there. If only he would quit slacking and watch that other .5 more times. Then I am sure he would see what I do and we would have nothing to argue about.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Pretty pathetic when the difference between a win/loss is Afflalo vs. Hunter.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM tIM dUNCAN PLAYED 51 MINUTES AND 2 OT'S against the Big cactus and Amare Stud!!!! GET OFF THIS damn rest BS!! Tired mt butt, Lee. I hate when yall bring that tired 3 years in a row excuse up! Its a difference between tired, listless and lazy! Tired....@##$$%#!that...
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Flip's not strong enough personality to influence this team one way or another.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Do yo think that giving them let's say 2 more minutes rest could have been difference?
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM What's up with Sheed coming out of a timeout with 10 seconds left. We are down by one. And Sheed has the time and thought to go over and put his arm around the 76er's, with a great big smile on his face. Unbelievable. They should be sweeping these guys, and having a few more practices for the next series.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM That is one way in which Flip contrasts sharply with LB. LB was able to get the team to play to its full potential in the playoffs in the two years he was here. Flip has thus far not been able to do that.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM That's the problem. He can't force the issue. The players have known it since he got here and developed 'flip the switch'.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM I think Sheed was trying to get in their heads...didn't work
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Sheed was approaching a triple double in the 3rd quarter. 7 blocks. 9 boards. He ended up with 24 points too. And in the first half, what was he doing? Going inside like a fiend. Just like we want him to. But then he gradually slowed down. By the 4th, he had no legs left. Whether you want to believe it or not, but for fatigue, Rasheed Wallace was having one great, utterly fantastic game. His 7 blocks were all spectacular. But he is human and can not sustain that kind of effort. PS, last I checked, Duncan was coached by a good coach, who has never ridden him over the years like Sheed has been ridden. Why don't you go look at the stats and tell me why Duncan might just have something in the tank for a game like that.
Re: 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM Here's my take on what went wrong: 1. Pistons (and Pistons fans) underestimate the 76ers. They are young, fast, athletic, scrappy, and motivated. Reggie Evans plays every single minute he is on the court. AI played like a man possessed, even after Sheed and Maxiell stuffed him 4 or 5 times in a row. Andre Miller was working hard. 2. Despite the hustle of Philly, the Pistons put on a clinic with Rasheed and Jason leading the class. After halftime, the guards seem to go away from the frontcourt in an attempt to get the backcourt going. Rip shoots a terrible %, makes some bad decisions, and has a generally horrible game. Chauncey misses 3 FT's in a row, misses outside shots, misses layups, etc. Sheed missed his last shot attempt, but Batman and Robin lost this game. I just don't buy the tired/ minutes/ Hunter/ Amir arguements. I thought the defense was excellent in this game. Even the Rattler was making life hell for AI. I didn't think Saunders substitutions were bad at all. He left Maxiell in almost the entire second half when Dice was ineffective. Stucky did almost nothing in his time out there. Maybe he could have played Alf instead of Lenz, but c'mon... is this really the sub that decides the game? I'm agreeing with coach on this one. The backcourt (including Stucky) didn't hit their shots, and the 76ers stole one from us.
