AP - Another Skewed Poll- 'Americans Want Democrats in Power'
Why anyone ever bothers using an AP/Ipsos poll result to "prove" anything is beyond me. It has been well documented by multiple sources that this France based polling company habitually over samples Democrats in their polls and this particular poll is no different. Full Story »Posted by David Fox

Frank Einhellig, Penni Groves named to permanent positions
In his first personnel actions as the permanent Missouri State University president, Clifton M. Smart III has removed the "interim" title from two central administrators: Provost Frank Einhellig and General Counsel Penni Groves.
In its meeting today (Nov. 29), the Missouri State Board of Governors Executive Committee approved the two appointments, both of which are effective Jan. 1, 2013. The appointments will be ratified at the Board of Governors meeting Dec. 14.
"I am pleased that Frank and Penni have accepted these appointments on a permanent basis," said Smart. "Both of them have done excellent work in their interim roles and I look forward to making progress on a whole host of issues with them in the coming years. I believe Missouri State will be a better university because of these two appointments."
Einhellig plans to serve the next 18 months as the permanent provost and chancellor of the Mountain Grove campus before either retiring or returning to the faculty after June 30, 2014. His salary will be $210,000 and other benefits will include funding for professional development, entertainment and travel expenses.
"I am very pleased to be able to continue my service as provost of Missouri State. I am very proud of this university because I know we have a learning environment where students receive an excellent education from a dedicated faculty and staff who care about them," Einhellig said. "I look forward to working with President Smart, the deans and all of my colleagues as we envision the future and further strengthen the academic excellence of Missouri State programs."
Einhellig joined Missouri State as dean of the Graduate College in 1992 from the University of South Dakota. Under his leadership, Missouri State more than doubled both the number of graduate programs and the number of graduate students. He became the interim provost in June 2011 when Clif Smart was named interim president. Einhellig also served as interim provost from 2005-06.
Einhellig received bachelor's degrees from the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, and a master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma.
Groves assumes the position of permanent general counsel after serving as interim general counsel since 2011. Prior to that, Groves served as Missouri State's legal counsel from 2004-11. Groves has practiced law for 23 years and was formerly a partner at Daniel, Clampett, Powell & Cunningham, LLC.
In her role as general counsel, she provides legal advice and services to the Board of Governors and the president, as well as administrators, faculty and staff. She has the responsibility for representing the university on all claims against it.
Groves holds a Juris Doctorate from Baylor University. Her salary will be $128,000.
"I am pleased and privileged to transition from interim to permanent general counsel and look forward to continuing my service to the university," Groves said.

Quick question .
Are upgrades possible from other ROM's based on 4.1.2 (i.e : ParanoidJelly) ?
Rule of thumb, if upgrading on the same rom, jb2 to jb2 ect, yes dirty flash would be ok,unless issues present themselves. if moving from say slimbean to jb2, full wipes would be recommended. I would recommend ,a clean install on anything other than a same rom update.
Happy Easter

Not sure whether that was an apology or something but I forgive you for incorrect advice LOL However, even before flashing proxcal.zip I was getting the non working proximity sensor problems anyways, which means I still would have had to mess around with the prox_data.txt file permissions any way!...
On a side note, just noticed some updater-script coding faults!... I know it won't kill the device but I found that you mounted the system twice and forgot to unmount the data in prox_data2.zip updater-script, just thought I let you know and using "set_perm(0, 0, 0444, "/data/misc/prox_data.txt");" does work better than what you have it coded to! Apologies, if I embarrassed you or something but I had to point this out to you!
Anyways, thanks for helping with getting this issue solved and hope you keep on trucking with brilliant ROMs so far! :thumbsup:

How to add widget on lock screen ?
Need the proxi_update2.zip fixed read-only prox_data.txt, well here it is! You're welcome to take away with you for your backup on goo.im C3C0... Sorry for the delay
Could you upload the script you modified here? im experiencing also problems with the proximity sensor (which I didn't have in other ROMs) and none of both scripts seems to work for me. I also tried to set the permissions of the file with a file explorer but the screen stays always on during calls.

The 1.5 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits
that more than 57 million Social Security beneficiaries receive in January
2014. Increased payments to more than 8 million SSI beneficiaries will
begin on December 31, 2013.
The COLA increase is one of the smallest since automatic adjustments were
adopted in 1975. The announcement was delayed for two weeks due to the
partial government shutdown.
COLAs for the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal
Employees Retirement System (FERS) are based on the percentage increase in the
CPI-W for the most recent third quarter (July-September) compared to the most
recent quarter upon which an increase was based. If consumer prices as measured
by the CPI-W do not increase from the third quarter of one year to the third
quarter of the next year, there is no COLA for annuities paid under CSRS or
Under both CSRS and FERS, the annual COLA increase, if any, is made for
annuities effective on December 1, appearing in the payment made the first
business day of January. Also, if an individual retires during the year
immediately preceding a COLA, the first COLA is prorated.
However, there are a couple of differences regarding COLAs under CSRS
and FERS.
CSRS annuitants receive a COLA that is equal to the percentage change in the
CPI-W. However, under FERS, the basic retirement annuity is fully indexed
if inflation is under 2% per year and partially indexed if inflation exceeds 2%:
All CSRS retirees and survivors receive COLAs. However, under FERS, COLAs are
applied only to annuities of retirees who are age 62 or older, individuals who
retired under specified special retirement provisions (such as law enforcement
officers and fire fighters), individuals who retired by reason of disability,
and to survivor annuitants. Other FERS retirees receive no COLAs while they are
under age 62.
The federal retiree COLA adjustment of annuities is discussed in Chapter 2 of
the Office of Personnel Management's CSRS and FERS Handbook, found at http://www.opm.gov/retire/pubs/handbook/C002.pdf.

However, the supplier also plans to remove key sales objectives (KSO) rebates for distributors leading to suggestions that prices will rise by at least 1% as distributors try to make up the money by charging more to end-users.
Andy Gass, managing director at Computer 2000, agreed it would need to "change pricing" as a result of HP's actions.
"However, we welcome the simplification of rebates and anything that makes returns more predictable and allows us to focus on demand generation for HP and our resellers is a good thing," he said.
Julian Klein, UK managing director at Ingram Micro, said the changes HP planned "would almost certainly result in price changes but we have to see where we are at the beginning of May".
It was a case of simple mathematics for Alex Tatham, sales and marketing director at Westcoast: "If HP is taking away compensation at the front-end we need to make it up at the back-end."
"We are using the age old sales model of cost plus to make money," he added.

Kirana Gharana vocalist Sanhita Nandi mesmerised the city with her resonating and soulful voice,Raga Puriya Dhanashree developed with soothingly inserted alap badhat besides scores of well-knit sargams and boldly executed taan.Finally Sahana and Bageshri drutTarana amid thunderous applause displaying her musical capabilities.
"In these fast changing times, it is very rare to come across a young classical musician like Sanhita Nandi, who is preserving centuries old traditional music of India."
Sanhita Nandi is a prominent exponent of Hindustani Classical Vocal, Kirana Gharana
in the Khayal and Thumri genres. After initial training, Sanhita was later groomed
by Late Pandit A. Kanan, the senior most Gurus of the ITC Sangeet Research Academy,
Kolkata. She got added exposure under Pandit Vinayak Torvi for few years in Kirana
and Gwalior traditions. After years of practice, and greatly influenced by Gharana
maestros, she has assimilated the distinctive features of the Kirana Gharana.
137th Hariballav Sangeet Sammelan,Jalandhar 2012
57th Sawai Gandharva Sangeet Sammelan,Pune - Jan 2010
Saptak Sangeet Sammelan,Ahmedabad - Jan 2010
87th Laxmi Narayan Sangeet Sabha 2011, Amritsar
Tansen Sangeet Samaroha, Gwalior, Dec 2014
Gururao Deshpande Sangeet Sabha-2009, Bangalore
Sanhita Nandi's performance was one of the highlights of the 24 hours Raga Samay festival in Philadelphia.One of the leading vocalists of the Kirana gharana,her singing at the festival was serious, imaginative and inspired.That being said, hers was the best vocal performance at the festival.
Sanhita's thoughtful, gimmick-free and almost meditative rendition brought the shringhar ras (romantic mood) of the raag to life.
"Torch-bearer of kirana gharana and carrying the baton of the rich heritage."
"Sanhita's elaboration of the raga was so deftly done that every facet of the raga unfolded in a smooth manner. There was Phirat in her sargams and her swift taans were electrifying.Sanhita took the audience through the entire scale of the raga in one continuous flow, and presented her own personality through precise technique and refined lyricism."
"Hindustani classical vocalist and exponent of Kirana Gharana Sanhita Nandi, sang to the carnatic-inclined Chennai audience and moved then with her marvellous style.Sanhita's excellent mastery of the art came through with her rendition of a piece in Raag Megh and the final Guru Nanak bhajan that was certainly the masterpiece of the evening, and could have moved even those with negligible understanding of Hindustani classical music."
"Sanhita Nandi is blessed with a resplendent and melodious voice, which made her recital more effective and interesting. In the faster tempo, she impressed the listeners with her fast Taans, which were precise and in sur.Nandi gave an absorbing demonstration of her deep understanding of both the styles (Kirana) and her choice of compositions as well as renditions. "
"Sanhita Nandi from Kolkata chose raga Bageshree to mark her debut at the Sawai Gandharva festival and laid out the beauty of this evergreen raga."
"Performance in Sangit Mahabharti where she recited Raga Saraswati with perfection and precise taan has made her popular with classical afficionados."
"Sanhita Nandi is an excellent classical vocalist from the present generation. I was amazed by her intellectual and systematic raga rendering with great skill, purity, depth and intensity. Her soulful presentations are combined with masterly command over sargams, gamaks, swift taans and perfect layakari. I can say without any hesitation that she is a brilliant exponent of the Kirana Gharana and place her among the top musicians in Indian Classical music."
''You are a wonderful vocalist with great poise and tonality and flow of thought. India needs deeply committed singers like you, committed to each 'sur', not bothered about publicity or constantly aware of the audience sitting in front. God bless Sanhita.''
"Sanhita Nandi's renditions of Khayal in slow tempo and thorough deep exploration of the Raga to the fullest extent with intricate fast Taans and improvisation in her concerts is a true reflection of the greatest exponents of Kirana."

Having a highly-skilled IT workforce is crucial to America's economic future, to ensuring our national security, and to maintain our leadership in the world research and development community. In order to assess that workforce, it is crucial that we understand the number of science and engineering degrees granted to American students annually.
One of the best resources for demographics on STEM graduates in the US is available from the National Science Foundation. Although figures typically are a couple of years away from real-time, the NSF cuts the statistics through a variety of demographic, specialization, institutional, and degree categories to give a very detailed look at new graduates.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is another valuable source for IT workforce data. They offer both current numbers and forecasts for computing and engineering jobs as well as predictions for jobs in computer-related fields. A CRA graphic of these predictions is available in the right column.
The flagship publication of CRA is the annual Taulbee Survey, which tracks information on the enrollment, production, and employment of Ph.D.s in computer science and computer engineering and in providing salary and demographic data for CS and CE faculty in North America. In particular, the Taulbee survey examines where new CS&CE Ph.D.s go for employment and overall statistics on Ph.D. production and graduate enrollment.
As the figures on the right clearly show, it is vital that Americans in school today are sufficiently prepared with the skills they need to become tomorrow's IT workers, researchers, and entrepreneurs.
Links to issues related to education of tomorrow's IT leaders:
A significant effort must be made to ensure that girls and women are attracted to CS professions. The Taulbee survey has data on women earning CS/CE degrees and the percentage of CS/CE faculty that are female. The work of CRA's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) has been significant in increasing female participation in the computer science and education workforce. CRA-W has produced a variety of publications of interest to women in computer research as well as a broader audience.
In addition, CRA is part of the Coalition to Diversify Computing, which seeks to especially encourage traditionally under-represented populations to join computing research fields.
Globalization presents a wide variety of opportunities and challenges to the computing research community. While we benefit from the ability to work more collaboratively with colleagues around the world, there is considerable uncertainty about what role American-based CS and CE researchers will play in the next fifty years of computing.
Some resources about offshoring and the American IT workforce:
That is a subject of substantial debate. Certainly, the needs of IT employers are changing, so the particular skills needed by IT workers are in a constant state of flux. Certainly, we should avoid overproducing workers with particular skill sets; that is why it is critical that IT workers can adapt to a variety of situations and learn new skills as they become necessary.
Information on annual STEM graduates is available from the National Science Foundation.
Traditionally, IT workers have historically enjoyed far lower rates of unemployment than American workers in general. According to InformationWeek, in the quarter ending March 31, 2005, IT workers were unemployed at an annualized rate of 3.7%, comparing favorably with a national seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate of about 5.1%.
John Sargent wrote an article for the Computing Research News that evaluates the best available data and finds that demand for IT jobs is likely to increase by about 3.1% for each year until 2012, one of the highest growth projections of any occupational sector. This graphic (right column) shows the different projected demands in a variety of IT occupations. Other graphics are available in a PowerPoint presentation Dr. Sargent gave to the Computing Research Association entitled "The Adequacy of the US S&E Workforce: A Quantitative Perspective."
IT workers are, as a group, one of the highest paid fields in the country, with a mean annual salary of around $66,000. The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces frequent reports on wages in computer and mathematical occupations. Actual wages depend on a variety of factors, including education, region, experience, and area(s) of expertise.
IT workers have a variety of educational backgrounds ranging from high school diplomas plus vocational training to doctorates in computer science, computer engineering, and related fields. The jobs with the highest growth projections require at least a bachelor's degree.
H-1B visas are issued to temporary, non-permanent foreigners to allow highly skilled foreign citizens to work for up to six years in the United States in fields in which there is a shortage of American citizens. H-1B visa holders must be paid wages comparable to their American counterparts and are limited to work for a particular employer. CompeteAmerica has a good fact sheet on H-1B programs.
The H-1B program has received criticism from some in the community. Norman Matloff lays out (pdf) some of the arguments against the program.
It is difficult to say, and it is important to remember that many foreign-born IT workers become American citizens or permanent residents. According to the journal Science, about a quarter of the US computing and mathematics workforce is foreign-born, a percentage that is increasing, especially among doctorate-level scientists. However, according to NSF statistics from 1999, about 3.36 percent of the American science and technology workforce is made up of non-US citizens.

Status update – Mike is…writing a review of that Facebook movie.
Facebook is all about status. X is engaged, drunk; on holiday; divorced; walking the dog; has 378 friends. Our thoughts transmitted around the world. However the one person who we know very little about is the site's founder Mark Zuckerberg. How can someone who created a site used by a billion people be so mysterious? The Social Network provides no definitive answers but nevertheless creates one of the best cinematic experiences of the year in trying.
The film flashes back to the creation of social network website Facebook, as founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) gives depositions at two separate lawsuits brought by his former best friend and business partner Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) and the Winklesvoss twins (Armie Hammer), all determined to get their hands a piece of the multi-billion dollar business.
The jewel in the crown is the script by Aaron Sorkin, who made everyday life in the White House seem fun and interesting in the West Wing. The TV series proved his mastery at adapting multiple stories and timelines and he presents a confusing and potentially confusing set up with pace, precision and heart and without the need for constant expositional title cards. By presenting the story from multiple points of view, the viewers are left to draw their own conclusions.
From the opening scene where Zuckerberg is dumped by his girlfriend, the dialogue bolts by at the speed of sound, making the film's two hour running time seem barely half that. What Sorkin excels at is creating characters who are too clever for their own good and yet remain sympathetic. Eisenberg plays Zuckerberg with an eternal chip on the shoulder, in the desperate search for acceptance. His motivation to help out the Winklevoss twins (a remarkable dual performance by Armie Hammer) with their social networking site is because he sees a way to into their allegedly superior world.
However the more successful his Facebook site becomes, the more he becomes detached from his friends. Saverin provides the initial funding but becomes increasingly isolated as Zuckerbeg comes under the spell of Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), who introduces him to the hip California scene. This leads to the ultimate betrayal as Saverin is jettisoned, causing one of the two lawsuits. However through the whole film, Zuckerberg's actions are never seen as malicious or money orientated. He just can't help be an utter shit, the kind of person you are happy to watch but would be hate to be friends with.
Director David Fincher for once takes a back seat. Known for his technical wizardry behind the camera, here he is content to keep the screenplay flowing and allow the tragedy of Zuckerberg's isolation grow. The film may have no epic scope or laugh out loud humour, tears or tragedy but when judged by its merits (screenplay, acting,directing), you are unlikely to see a better movie this year.
Status Update – Mike says… go see now.

Brazil: Pantanal, Iguacu & Beyond
Please note: this itinerary is applicable to our 2015 departures only. We are working on a new 2016 itinerary that will be ready in June. It will be more jaguar-focused and spend more time in the Pantanal and likely not include Iguacu as part of the program but as an extension instead.
Day 1: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Arrive in Rio de Janeiro and transfer to our hotel in the city's famous Copacabana district, where our Brazil adventure begins with a welcome dinner this evening.
Day 2: Rio Botanical Gardens / Tijuca Forest
Explore the natural side of Rio with a visit to the city's spectacular botanical gardens. Located near the base of the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, the park boasts more than 6,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees. Next we visit the Tijuca Forest, a tract of rare Atlantic rain forest covering more than 12 square miles, where we encounter hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, many threatened, in the world's largest urban forest.
Day 3: Rio / Pantanal
Fly to Campo Grande and transfer approximately four hours along a beautiful road to Caiman Ecological Refuge, deep in the green other-world of the Pantanal. Declared a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, this vast area of wet marshlands and dry islands is South America's primary wildlife sanctuary. The name of the region derives from the Portuguese word pântano, meaning 'swamp.' With rhythmic regularity, this vast depression in the center of South America floods with the annual rains, submerging most of its environs. As the waters recede during the dry season, they leave a mosaic of pools and marshes where a plethora of life flourishes in intense concentration. Some 3,500 different plants thrive here, as well as nearly 650 bird species, 160 kinds of mammals, 100 reptile species and 320 different kinds of fish.
Days 4–7: Exploring the Pantanal
From our base at the refuge we spend three full days exploring the Pantanal's verdant recesses. Waking at sunrise is a magical experience as we listen to the chorus of bird songs and monkey calls announcing a new day. Depending on seasonal conditions, we may take nature walks, canoe trips and ecological safaris. Our local guides are resident experts in the flora and fauna of the region, unveiling its myriad wonders to us. We may be fortunate to see some of the Pantanal's threatened species, which include the jaguar, panther, maned wolf, giant otter, giant armadillo, capybara and Brazilian tapir. Their habitat is under duress due to the expansion of ranching, mining and land-clearing, yet it is reassuring to know our presence contributes to the economic value of conserving this incomparable ecosystem. We fly to Iguaçu on the evening of Day 7.
Day 8: Iguaçu Falls
At Iguaçu Falls, straddling the Brazil/Argentina border, we are immersed in the roar and spray of one the mightiest waterfalls on the planet. First, we cross Tancredo Neves Bridge to explore the national park on the Argentine side. Some 275 waterfalls pour into this horseshoe-shaped canyon along a 2-mile stretch of the Iguazu River, and the noise alone is astounding. Our guided tour takes us over misty rain forest trails and suspended catwalks for ever-varying views of the river's cataclysmic plunge over the cliffs.
The national park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is full of other wonders, too. Located just across the border from Brazil, Argentina's Iguazu National Park covers 167,000 acres, protecting one of the most biodiverse areas in the country. The Paranaense subtropical rain forest, a continuation of the southern Brazilian jungle, is a nearly virgin preserve that holds more than 2,100 known plant species. Among its verdant depths we find pindo palms, gigantic trees, 50-foot-high tall canes, arborescent ferns, orchids, and large epiphytes like the huge bromeliads known as caraguata. Looking up, we may spy toucans and harpy eagles, just two of many bird species in the forest. The park shelters also many mammals including jaguar, jaguarundi, ocelet, tapir, coati, tirica and anteater. Returning to the Brazilian side, we overnight at the Hotel das Cataratas with a partial view of the falls.
Day 9: Foz do Iguaçu / Home
This morning we explore the Brazilian side of the falls, walking along the canyon rim above the Iguaçu River where we observe the hundreds of small waterfalls that comprise the mile-long cataract. A full view of the gaping maw of Devil's Throat reveals the most dramatic section of the falls, where 14 separate falls plunge 350 feet into the canyon, creating a perpetual plume of rainbow-accented spray. This afternoon, our Brazil adventure comes to a close as we transfer to the airport for flights home.
Physical Rating: Moderate / Flexible

I am pleased to announce that the Smithsonian is celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month from May 1 to 31, with more than 15 events, including films, performances, talks, tours and family programs. I hope you will all take this opportunity to learn more about the important contributions of these Americans to our nation's culture and history. As appropriate, supervisors may grant up to three hours of administrative leave to all staff members who wish to attend these events.
This year's feature event is a family festival at the National Museum of American History on Saturday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This day of activities centers on "Sweet & Sour," an exhibition case that traces the evolution of Chinese food in the United States and the long history of Chinese immigration. Visitors can watch the film "Killing of a Chinese Cookie" and then join a discussion with director Derek Shimoda. Children and their families can work with book artist Sushmita Mazumdar to create a "kitchen memories" storybook and record their stories with teens from the Hirshhorn's ARTLAB+ video production program. Admission is free and no reservations are required.
This is the third event in the Smithsonian Heritage Months 2011 series titled "Sights and Sounds of Heritage." Participating Smithsonian units are the National Museum of American History, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Heritage Committee, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program, the Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies and the Smithsonian Heritage Months Steering Committee.
Visit www.SmithsonianEducation.org/Heritage for a complete schedule of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month programming.
Many thanks to the Smithsonian Heritage Months Steering Committee and to all the units that contributed to these programs. I hope you will join me in this annual celebration of Asian Pacific American history and cultural heritage.
Wayne Clough
Secretary, Smithsonian Institution

I really like a girl in my freshman class, but her best friend says that she's looking for a manly-man. The problem? I have a high-pitched voice, look like a baby, and have practically no muscles. I've been thinking about asking my doctor about puberty, but my grandma says I'm fine. Am I? Or am I just having self-esteem issues?
- Blake*
It's always a good idea to chat with your doctor when you wonder about your body and how it is developing. Chances are your grandmother is right — you're probably fine and it will just take a bit more time. But talking to your doctor will give you an opportunity to ask questions.
The reality is, developing muscles and the other stuff that goes with puberty happens for different guys at different times. Girls tend to go through puberty and develop before guys do, so that can make things seem even more confusing.
Here's the thing, though: When it comes to attraction, most girls are interested in more than just looks. Girls like personality! They want a guy to have good qualities like kindness, smarts, a sense of humor, and being a good listener. We all want to spend our time with happy people who are fun to know!
It can help to do things that make you feel more confident about your body: eating well, getting exercise, and paying attention to personal grooming. Instead of focusing only on the physical stuff you're dissatisfied with, give equal time to what's good about your appearance. Notice the things that are attractive, like a great smile or your physical capabilities.
Thinking positive can help us project (and build) confidence. Build your self-esteem by feeling proud and accepting of your body. Then, gather your courage and talk to the girl you like. It could lead to a friendship or (who knows!) even more.

THE tobacco industry misled the public and legislators over cigarettes designed to pose less of a fire hazard, internal industry documents reveal. Manufacturers stated publicly that the cigarettes would not sell, even though their own research showed smokers couldn't tell them apart from regular cigarettes.
In all countries where data is available, cigarettes are the leading cause of fire deaths. In the US alone, a thousand people are killed each year in smoking-related fires, and a third of them are not the smoker responsible. At the beginning of January 2003, New York state will achieve a world first by introducing fire safety regulations for cigarettes to combat the problem.
Efforts to make cigarettes less likely to cause a fire began in the 1970s when the industry tested prototypes with different tobacco blends, fire-resistant additives and low-porosity paper that restricted the amount of oxygen reaching the burning tobacco. All the cigarettes ...

"You Gotta Be Kidding!"
by Mickey Charles CEO, The Sports Network
Is it time to toss in the towel, admit you were wrong about the Lakers and listen to the not so melodic tones of the fat lady as she enters stage right? It sure looks that way and, as Yogi Berra coined, "It ain?t over ?til it?s over!" and it is now over.
Game Four was critical. It would have assured Los Angeles of a return trip home to the friendly confines of the Staples Center with the only audience that contains an over-abundance of fans making more money than the players on the court. Then desperation set in and Detroit realized that their guests from the west coast were in total disarray with a coach that did not have a clue and a team that lost confidence in his decisions regarding who should be doing what, to whom and when.
The all-star Hall of Fame cast from Hollywood had the opportunity to set another historical footnote by coming back from being down 3-1 to win three in a row and continue their dynasty quest while providing Karl Malone and Gary Payton with the rings that have eluded them for more years than they would care to remember. But Malone was on the bench, unable to contribute and Payton was, as he has been throughout the series, a shell of his youthful years as Phil Jackson read those old and yellowed clippings about him and wondered why he was not seeing the same player.
Where do the Lakers go now, besides home to L.A.? We have to wait until the summer is over to find out. Malone and Payton have their only shot for a ring on this team so they will stay, Shaquille needs time to reflect and decide whether he wants to remain a punching bag for David Stern?s open season on talent rules and Kobe will stay if all the others do. If he was to leave, and that is doubtful, it has to be to a team that will win it all and can afford him.
As memory serves me Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds were not asked to cover one eye nor hit while in a kneeling position. Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens did not have to pitch from just short of the infield side of second base. Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle did not have to wear weights when running the bases or chasing a fly ball. And Alex Rodriguez was not provided with a specific ruling that mandates his playing third base without a glove.
Michael Jordan saved the NBA from disappearing into the abyss of forgotten sports and permitted David Stern the headlines and credit. He was provided the "edge" when he played. It was, and is, the way of the NBA. To the contrary, Wilt Chamberlain paid for his height, strength and talent when the NBA allowed the Boston Celtics, and Wayne Embry in particular, to use his body as a basketball "tackling dummy" and did nothing about it. Yes, he necessitated the widening of the "key," the lane, to stop the Dipper Finger Roll and to anticipate other up and coming talent. But Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Bob Cousy, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Tim Duncan were not told to play shooting into a smaller basket with a larger ball.
I never noticed Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr, Maurice Richard or Patrick Roy being told to enter the game without a stick and not wearing skates. They are not penalized unduly for hitting as hard as they are hit. They do not have to shoot into a suddenly smaller net while controlling a technically and instantly enlarged puck. They are better and that is accepted.
The last few times I looked I believe that Jack Nicklaus. Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods, among others, did not have to hit from 30-40 yards in back of the "tips" and they were not ordered by the PGA to carry only five clubs or to reduce the length of their shafts or the size of the head on their driver(s). No marshal reminded them that they had to putt with 7 irons or hit out of the trap with a three wood.
All of the above were better than others. They possessed the skills that brought them to the top of their respective sport. They were not penalized for being better.
The NBA does not see it that way. Shaquille O?Neal is a superb athlete, a monster of a man and proof of the "gentle giant" we have heard so much about over the years. Is he to be punished and disadvantaged because of that? Should as many as three members of the opposing team be permitted to use him as a leaning post and then foul him intentionally at every opportunity? It is insulting to the fans, the game and the NBA. It is arrogance beyond limits by the people who allow this-the League and the referees.
Kobe Bryant drives down the lane and is pummeled by triple coverage. No foul? Even the TV announcers, Al Michaels (who should stay with the NFL) and Stuart Scott (one of those folks that the networks believes knows because he played but doesn?t really) questioned some of the calls. That was a first for game coverage.
Did the NBA want to see Detroit win? You bet. Why? Because David Stern did not want to hand a trophy or a microphone to anyone under indictment for a charge of sexually assaulting a woman in Colorado. Aged referees, who should have been let out to pasture a decade ago were still involved in championship games, and that was wrong. They were playing a dangerous game of their own and it is obvious to anyone that knows and understands basketball. Taking nothing away from the Pistons, they were provided every advantage possible to add to their already acknowledged talents. But, a glaring example of the path the game has taken is that of Rasheed Wallace who comes from the streets of Philadelphian and the philosophy of "no call to 911, no foul." The rest of the team has picked up on that and Larry Brown encouraged it under the guise of a "stifling defense."
Phil Jackson never realized that he can believe in the Zen philosophy but that does not translate onto the court and he couldn't will them a win. He has to coach one into reality. That proved to be a task too difficult. Enlightenment by direct intuition through meditation is not going to cut it.
Do I think that the NBA wanted to see a ceremony in Motown? Yes. Sour grapes? You gotta be kidding!

Each year prescription drugs kill hundreds of thousands in Europe alone. Doctors should listen to the real experts – patients
YOU are a doctor somewhere in the western world. During surgery hours, a patient complains of a strange reaction to a medicine. It's like an electric shock, he says, like dropping out of an aircraft - it takes your breath away.
No sooner have you reassured patient X, told him to continue taking the medicine, and made a new appointment, than patient Y is recounting her story. "I took a capsule and I was talking to a friend on the phone and within half an hour my tongue started to swell. I had to ring off... I couldn't speak... I had mucous streaming out of my nose and my mouth... it was awful. I felt sick and broke out into a rash which itched and felt hot."

World Wildlife Day, Wildlife Crime &
#JustOneRhino Winners
Today, March 3, is the second annual World Wildlife Day– a day created by the 68th session of United Nations General Assembly in 2013 to honor its adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
The day was designed to remind us to celebrate the world's remarkably diverse forms of flora and fauna, to rejoice in our privilege to interact with nature and wildlife, and to raise awareness of the problems that wildlife is currently facing and the economic, environmental and sociopolitical impact those problems have on the people who populate this planet.
This year, in a special session of the General Assembly, the UN insists that "It's Time to Get Serious About Wildlife Crime" and will examine the challenges and opportunities for stepping up our international efforts to combat wildlife crime at a global scale.

They're just advisory referendums. But they're already causing a rift among La Crosse city council members.

A binding referendum on hiring a city administrator will also be on the city ballot for April. Next month, the council will decide whether the mayor's salary gets cut in half if the administrator is approved by voters.

UTSA Roadrunners student-athletes help with Habitat for Humanity project
(Oct. 24, 2011) -- The UTSA men's basketball program recently gave back to the community by helping with a Habitat for Humanity build on Sunday, Oct. 9, at Spring Creek United Methodist Church.
Battling heavy rain, the Roadrunners student-athletes, coaches and support staff joined a group of approximately 250 volunteers to help put together the frame of a house in the Spring Creek United Methodist Church parking lot. The frame build was a success and the house will be completed on site in February 2012.
"We look forward to volunteering our services any time we can give back to the community," said men's basketball coach Brooks Thompson. "It's the least we can do to help those in need. This was a very fulfilling experience for all of the players and coaches, and it was amazing to see all the volunteers show up and build the frame in the pouring rain."
"Spring Creek is a church in mission," said Pastor Stephen Sanders. "Ten years ago, before we built our own church, we built a home for a deserving family through Habitat for Humanity. Now, as we consider our own expansion, once again we will build a home through Habitat. The framing event was an opportunity for our church, the UTSA basketball team and others in our community to be a part of a wonderful event that will provide new housing for those in our community in need."
Spring Creek United Methodist Church, 28970 Old Fredericksburg Road, is active in local and community missions and is a supporter of Magdalena House, a home for women and their children in crisis situations.
