Audie Award Finalist, Narration by the Author or Authors, 2014
Audie Award Finalist, Fiction, 2014
Sussex, England: A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet sitting by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean), the unremembered past comes flooding back. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. A stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

"Shadows Dissolved in Vinegar"
Neil Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" (2013) begins with a quote by Maurice Sendak, "I remember my own childhood vividly. I knew terrible things. But I knew I mustn't let adults know I knew. It would scare them." Sendak's quote is an apt warning.
"The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is about a child, but, as Gaiman has made clear, it is not a book for children. Gaiman takes the worst nightmares of childhood (I had forgotten them myself, but no more) and binds them together into a compelling story.
Remember stepping on something sharp and worrying for days or weeks that it would kill you? But not telling your parents . . . Agonizing about the possibility no one would come to your birthday party? Being locked in an attic? Clothes that come to life and grab you? Worrying that your father will truly get so mad at you he will actually try and kill you? The babysitter who is vicious to you but sweet to your parents? Those fears are all in "The Ocean at the End of the Lane," wrapped up in parental preoccupation, indifference, and bewilderment at the 7 year old boy who finds a savior in the remarkable Lettie Hempstock.
Lettie lives at the end of the lane, with her mother and grandmother, near a pond that is the ocean. The reason the pond is an ocean and the remarkable powers of the Hempstock women are, to some extent, reminiscent of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" (1988).
The story is intriguing on many levels, and Gaiman is an excellent narrator. I only wish I'd been able to listen to this curled up in a blanket with a cup of hot tea, instead of in my car, stuck behind a Cooper Mini for an interminable amount of time.
The title of this review is from a trade Lettie makes to get the tokens she needs to save her 7 year old friend. The eerie magic stuck with me.

Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reader
It's hard to put into words just how much I loved this novel. Neil Gaiman has an exceptional talent for writing what I like to think of as fairy tales for adults. He writes these stories that are so deeply imaginative and yet are so real, they just resonate with me like few other stories.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane was a simple, yet incredibly moving story. It was simply elegant storytelling. It took me back to my childhood and made me appreciate it in ways I never have before. It also made me insanely jealous of people that got to grow up in big, old houses on quite country lanes.
I listened to the audio of this novel and I have to believe that was the best way to experience it. Neil Gaiman is not only an amazing writer, but he really is a great narrator as well. I had hear him narrate The Graveyard Books so I knew what to expect, but I was still incredibly pleased with the result.
Honestly, this novel was just excellent. I would recommend it to anyone, not just science fiction or fantasy fans. Brilliant.
I'm a big fan of SF/F/Horror, and all things in between and out.
"Oh, the Wondrous Ocean!"
The Ocean at the End of the Lane feels like none of Gaiman's previous novels. It's easily the most personal of his novels, tightly focused, and brief – like childhood remembered by an adult. It's a story of memories as tangible as the sea – we know they happened, we even swam in it, but the waves continue to roll, and the landscape is seemingly ever changing. It's memories as mythology, and it'd be cynical not to fall under it's haunting spell.
It's also a meditation on mortality, as told by a nameless narrator who has returned to England for his father's funeral. Because of that, it's impossible not to divorce our image of the narrator as Neil himself, giving this book a fantastical yet autobiographical sense – even moreso as an audiobook – which is part of the point. Readers and fans familiar with Gaiman via Twitter and his blog may remember reading about similar familiar events referenced in this book, although their memories will be distinctly different from what occurs in the story.
As one character says: "That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens on day, old cats next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together."
Memories should be cherished and treasured, like dreams, but perhaps they shouldn't be completely trusted. And it's what we do with those memories that count.
In spinning this story, Gaiman has woven himself into a new mythology all his own. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a reminder to adults of the wonders and mysteries of childhood, and encourages us to find those same pleasures as adults. It reminds us that just because we're grown up, doesn't mean it's over, and we may still witness wondrous and mysterious things.
"Feel like a kid again: powerless and terrified"
I listened to the first two-thirds of this book while on a long drive, late at night, during a rainstorm. My little black-and-white cat was in her carrier in the passenger seat next to me. If there was ever a perfect environment in which to hear this book, that was it.
I can't give enough praise to Neil Gaiman for his performance here. In my opinion, the only person qualified to narrate Mr. Gaiman's books is himself. It's only fitting here, in any case, because I know the main character (unnamed) is sort-of semi-autobiographical.
Which brings me to my next point: regardless of the fact that the main character is a 7-year-old boy and I am a 29-year-old woman, I see so much of him in me. I was that kid who liked books more than people, believed adults to be both mysterious and all-powerful, and held faith that the world was full of magic and terror in equal proportions. Deep inside, I think I still am that kid, and that is what resonated with me most. We are all terrified 7-year-olds on the inside, hoping that someone is watching out for us because we really don't have as much control as we pretend to.
I cried during the epilogue. I couldn't help it. I was driving again, in the sun this time, on my way back home. There is one final realization the narrator makes at the end that both broke my heart and filled me with joy. I don't want to give away spoilers, but I hope that you'll know it when you hear it.
Please, please read this book. Or listen to it. Or better yet, do both. It's been a long time since I've felt this strongly about any book, but this is a masterpiece. You'll thank yourself at the end.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Fanciful Tale Falls Flat"
Little British boy meets intriguing odd young Hettie and her mother on an old quirky farm. While dabbling in another world, oddities come to life bringing about dire consequences for all around.
Interesting shell of a world, lacks depth and backstory for characters. Gaiman is a wonderfully descriptive writer as with the family home where you can see yourself running down the meadow looking for a hole in the fence and smell and taste the blackberry jam in the porridge. Lacking are the threads to tie together all the fanciful ideas to draw you in. I didn't love the book, but parts were inventive, clever and found the ending rewarding. Having the author narrate is always pleasant as he/she can add expression in all the right places.
"It feels almost like a memoir"
As with all of Neil Gaiman's books I enjoy the confined small, but huge feel to the story. I like the sparse few characters which all have an important role to play. I enjoy the slow learning about the roles and that at the end you still want to know more, but are left wanting.
I would compare it to Graveyard Book also by Neil Gaiman. I would make this comparison because it too has the same small, but important story to tell. It too has the same sparse list of characters that you don't get to know everything about. It too leaves you wanting to know more.
Neil Gaiman unlike many other authors narrating brings a feeling to the books future state that he communicates through inflection that you don't get otherwise and would not get through all, but the most skilled of narrators.
I would take old Mrs. Hempstock to dinner. She being the oldest and wisest of the Hempstock women and seeming to be the most open to discuss honestly the early history of the universe.
I'm just a dumb troglodyte who like reading. Me feel good after I read book.
"Me Like It :)"
I was hesitant to purchase "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" (Ocean) as this was my first Neil Gaiman novel and my interest in the fantasy genre extends as far as George Martin. I was old-fashioned wrong! Ocean was terrific. Ocean was a simple and unpretentious story about a childhood experience. Similar to Martel's "Life of Pi", there's much more happening here if the reader/listener bothers to delve underneath the surface.
Gaiman has an expert sense of the fears and anxieties that fuel the behaviors of a 7-year-old child. He also captures the magical thinking that children use to understand and negotiate their environments. Gaiman's child has yet to be overtaken by the realities of science and logic. As a result, the reader is taken into imaginative situations only available through the mind of a child. The insights that come out of Ocean are refreshing and creative.
Ocean is very entertaining and never boring. The audiobook is also very manageable at roughly 5 hours in length and only a handful of characters to track. Ocean is well worth your investment in time and money.
I'm a corporate training consultant and adjunct professor who loves to read! I'm always looking for the next big thing.
"From Childhood to a Dark Place"
I was so lucky to have stumbled upon this book. I was fortunate enough to read the first part of the book as a preview that was included in another one of Neil Gaiman's books. Once I read that preview, I knew that I would read the entire book when it was published. I am glad that I did--it was great!
This book tells the story of a many who returns to his childhood hometown for a funeral. While there, he recalls a strange memory from his childhood that involved a neighborhood girl and her duck pond, which she always referred to as her ocean. The recollections are--at first--very pleasant; however, they take a frightening turn before too long.
Most of the story is told from the perspective of the young boy--the unnamed boy in the memory. Because of this, the book starts off very nicely. In many ways, I was reminded of my own childhood by some of the memories. This is what drew me into the story. It is not until slightly further along in the story that I realized this book was no longer just a childhood tale.
The boy's neighbors are supernatural beings in some way (which is never made entirely clear). Through a rather unfortunate sequence of events, the boy gets wrapped up in the supernatural occurrences around his neighborhood. That's when things start to get very dark. There is a particular scene in the book involving the boy's babysitter that was so creepy that it actually made me cringe while reading it--and believe it or not, I think that's a good thing!
I haven't read too many other Neil Gaiman books, but I will certain do so now that I read this one. The story was interesting, and the characters are quite memorable. If his other books have these same qualities and can also creep me out just a bit, then I'll be in for many more reads by Neil Gaiman.
"WOW!! This was GREAT!!"
I have listened to Audible for many years, yet never been moved to write a review. This book was so good that I have listened to it twice within one week. It starts off in the real world and then slowly takes us into a fantasy world that I did not want to leave. Well done!
I love to read books; and now just recently I've discovered that audio books are very cool!! I'm also an author. You can find the SciFi book "The Curse of Europa" here on Audible or on Amazon.
"A nice diversion"
At first I was a little hesitant of listening to an author read his own book. Authors can usually write a great story, but not many can speak a great story (myself included.) But Gaiman made it work! One benefit of the author reading their own story is that they know exactly HOW the dialog was intended to be delivered. They know where they want inflection, where it should be whispered, or exasperated, etc.
I like Science Fiction, good straight-up realistic SciFi! This is not SciFi, it is fantasy. But... I liked it. I liked it a lot. Gaiman tells a great story (both in his writing and in his narration). Half the time I thought the boy in the story was me at that age. I can't think of anything I didn't like about the story and the ending was perfect.
Quite high up!
I'd say it compares to most of what Gaiman writes. If you're a Gaiman fan, you'll most likely enjoy this book. If you're not a Gaiman fan, then I guess you haven't read any of his books... :)
There's something special about authors reading their own books, particularly when they do it as well as Gaiman does.
Yes. I almost did.
Time and time again Neil Gaiman shows what an good writer he is. This is no exception.
"Couldn't put it down"
Great story, well told. Always nice to have the story read by the author too. Listened to this book in one sitting, had to know what was going to happen next. I would highly recommend this book.
"Neil Gaiman does it again"
This book is more in line with The Graveyard Book rather than American God from a Gaiman perspective if you are a fan. It is very well told by Gaiman himself and the story is excellent. His writing is very clever and you won't be let down if you decide to buy/cash in a credit. That said I think that the Graveyard Book is better, but some people may prefer this one for reasons I can't say without giving too much away!

Indian Camp Creek Park
Indian Camp Creek Park is St. Charles County's largest park at 603 acres. With more than 10 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and equestrian use, Indian Camp Creek Park has become a popular destination for many outdoor enthusiasts. Its unique Eco/Nature-themed playground is an attractive spot for children to gather and play during the hot summer months.
The exclusive Youth-Group Camping Area is open year around and is the perfect facility for scouting and other youth group outings. Climb to the top of the restored silo, which serves as an observation tower, and discover the beautiful prairies, vast wooded hills, and protected habit found throughout the park. A new 18-hole disc golf course was recently added in the park. The state-of-the-art course features long and short tee pads at each hole, as well as three pin placements which will be rotated throughout the year.
Situated at the confluence of Big Creek and Indian Camp Creek, fishing is plentiful. A large lake on the property is also stocked with bluegill, bass, and catfish. Visit the historical Cannon family cemetery, which has been preserved on park property to honor the region's history. Some of the headstones in the historical cemetery date back to the early 19th Century.
Another historical interpretive site to visit in the park is a "ghost structure" display of the original log cabin believed to have been built in the late 1800s. Future plans include the development of the Toth Nature Preserve to protect the wildlife and native plant species found throughout the park.

"Last King" More About Arrogance, Less About Dictatorship
- Friday, April 20, 2007
DVD Release Date: April 17, 2007
Theatrical Release Date: September 27, 2006 (limited)
Rating: R (for some strong violence and gruesome images, sexual content and language)
Genre: Thriller/Drama
Run Time: 121 min.
Director: Kevin MacDonald
Actors: Forest Whitaker, James McAvoy, Kerry Washington, Gillian Anderson, Simon McBurney, David Oyelowo
When Idi Amin seized control of Uganda in 1971, he was welcomed by Ugandans and the international community alike. Amin promised to hold free and fair elections and to return the country to a democracy. He disbanded the secret police and released political prisoners, leading many to believe that he would be a fair and just ruler.
It was not to be. Within months, the media had reported scattered incidents of torture and bloodshed. Soon, few would deny that the benevolent dictator had become a bloodthirsty autocrat. And, although Amin would be eventually deposed and exiled, he would leave hundreds of thousands dead during his eight-year reign.
The International Commission of Jurists estimates Amin's victims at 300,000. Amnesty International places the figure closer to 500,000. Either way, Amin was never punished. He died in exile in Saudia Arabia in 2003.
"The Last King of Scotland" takes its name from one of the many titles Amin liked to bestow upon himself (which include "Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea" and "Conqueror of the British Empire in General and Uganda in Particular"). Based on the novel by Giles Foden, the film recounts a slice of Ugandan history through a fictional lens.
When Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) graduates from medical school, he has no idea what he wants to do – except leave Scotland. He spins his globe and determines to go wherever his finger lands. Unfortunately, it lands on Canada, so Garrigan spins again. Uganda. Garrigan accepts a position with a medical mission run by the dedicated Dr. Merritt (Adam Kotz) and his wife, Sarah (Gillian Anderson). Before arriving at the Ugandan outpost, however, he enjoys a one-night stand with an African woman. Soon, Garrigan is on the make with the lonely Sarah as well, who reluctantly but wisely resists his charms.
During a chance encounter with Amin (Forest Whitaker), Garrigan bandages the president's hand and impresses him by shooting a wounded cow. Amin invites Garrigan to become his personal physician and soon, the novice physician is driving a new Mercedes convertible and frolicking on Amin's properties, all expenses paid. Eventually, Garrigan realizes that his new best friend is not so benign. This realization comes far too late for Garrigan to easily extricate himself, however. Can he escape Amin's notorious wrath without becoming another victim? It seems unlikely, especially given that so few did.
Whitaker rightly won the 2006 Oscar for this performance, which is near flawless. He exudes frightening menace and charming guile, leading us to understand why historians remain divided about whether Amin was insane or simply "crazy as a fox." Few doubt the man was evil, of course, but Whitaker manages to imbibe the brutal dictator with a shred of humanity as well. Frighteningly, he's almost likable.
McAvoy is a decent actor, but he's woefully miscast here. His youth and endless gullibility stretch our credibility to the limits, especially after he becomes involved with one of Amin's wives (Kerry Washington, playing her part to perfection). By the film's climax, it's hard to sympathize with this hapless protagonist, who has few redeeming qualities. Partly, this is the fault of the script. But an older Garrigan – along with some editorial scene-swapping – would have solved this problem.

Superb BASS ...BASS never goes distorted..you will feel like you are on a live concert.
FM plays excellent & Speakers deliver crystal clear sound.
It was awesome to watch football match with the sound effect & i happen to watch jurassic park movie awsome sound effect and BASS..
No wonder why sony is the best....All Simply superb...
i have this home theatre...i found this best in class at this price tag...i think its best bass machine in sony Home Theatre's...everything in dis is good except it cant play HD/Full HD videos via USB!!! we need to write DVD's for that!!! else things r good...bass is ok...am heavy bass lover and my old 4800w HiFi system gives better bass than this!!!
Bought this home theater after one month of looking for a good music system,(patient pays :-) ).
Name itself tells the quality of sound it gives.
Sound is very rich and full, amazing experience with Dolby Digital output(there are different sound mode too).
Setup/Installation is very easy.
FM plays excellent( I never heard FM with this much great sound quality before).
Even at Max it gives clear sound with superb bass(no distortion).
Excellent product at a little high price.
Its a great sound machine..superb BASS ...BASS never goes distorted..you will feel like you are on a live concert.
Simple design(NO styling like Philips 3D etc )but great sound. No one can match the sound quality of SONY Machines.These guys are simply great. Great manufacturer of great things. If you are planning to but Home theater, don't look for others.. go for it. You can set the distance of your individual speaker in the Playing devise so it will adjust the sound accordingly... Awesome feature.
Sound clarity and detail is good. can be very loud without getting noisy. Bass is slightly higher at the upper bass frequencies.The biggest drawback is it has no equalizer, custom or factory presets. the only thing you can adjust is the bass by changing subwoofer output levels. If you are an audio maniac and want to play around with an equalizer to get your preference of sound, you will be disappointed.
If you already own one, make sure to perform the auto speaker calibration once in a while or whenever you make any changes to your room. Makes a lot of difference.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The leadership of the Detroit Institute of Arts is pleased with the fact that federal mediators have initiated, what they call, a positive conversation around the need to protect the museum collection and provide relief and revitalization for the city of Detroit. At a meeting with the mediators earlier this week, the DIA expressed enthusiastic support for the work that has been done to date, and pledged to help refine and implement the plan in the weeks ahead.
The plan encourages national and local foundations, as well as other funding sources, to create a mechanism for providing cash for the city, while ensuring the present and future safety of the DIA collection.

Fun weekend coming
Today we have Eleonor Sandresky as our guest in Composition Seminar. Eleonor comes from a family of successful female musicians – she is, I believe, the fifth generation – and she has carved out a singular space in new music as a pianist-composer. She will be demonstrating her work for what she calls "choreographic piano" and live electronic sensor system. Have I mentioned that I love having guests who do things that are completely different from what I do?
Hopping across the Atlantic tomorrow, the Quartetto Sassofoni d'Accademia will give the European premiere of Terranean Meditation at the Teatro Savoia in Campobasso, Italy. If you are in the vicinity, stop by at 6:30 pm and let me know how it went.
Sunday will bring the second European performance of Terranean Meditation. Same group, different location – this time, Sulmona, Italy.
Hop back across the Atlantic (or over Asia and the Pacific, if your itinerary allows) and you can catch the second performance of Multiplicity in Los Angeles on the same day. (Yes, I ever so briefly considered trying it – the difference in time zones makes it just this side of impossible). This time, Danielle Belen's sextet moves from Thayer Hall, the scene of the premiere a few weeks ago, to Zipper Hall. Again, if you are there, let me know how it went.
Much as I'd enjoy being in Italy or California, I'll be here instead, focused on a different sort of celebration Sunday – the fourth birthday of my brilliant second son. He's filled my head with poetry this past year. Here's my favorite: "I know where all the days go. They dissolve into the curvy arms of the Milky Way."
If you gotta go, that sounds like a pretty nice destination.

Nextreme Achieves New Milestone in Cooling Performance for Thin-Film Thermoelectrics
Microscale heat pump surpasses 60°C temperature differential at room temperatures...
DURHAM, N.C. (February 6, 2012) — Nextreme Thermal Solutions, the leader in micro-scale thermal management and power generation solutions, today announced that its thin-film thermoelectric technology has achieved a 60.1°C temperature difference between its cold and hot sides at an ambient temperature of 24.7°C, bringing it on par with the performance of bulk thermoelectric technology. The 60°C temperature milestone, known as the ΔTmax, reflects the ability of the thermoelectric device to pump heat efficiently. This new level of performance translates to improved cooling efficiency, lower input power requirements, and greater opportunities for solving thermal issues in electronics, photonics, automotive, avionics, and high-speed PCR applications.
The electronic industry's continued trend of smaller form factors, greater circuit density, and highly integrated packaging has translated into significant thermal problems for electronics-related manufacturers. As a result of this technology achievement, Nextreme can now bring its thermal management solutions to additional, substantial markets that require not only the current advantages of its products, but also the performance provided by this new capability. This provides Nextreme the opportunity for significant business growth over time.
The improved performance is the result of new materials development at Nextreme and the use of advanced, state-of-the-art interconnect and contact technology developed at the Center for Solid State Energetics at RTI International.
"Our thin-film technology has now achieved the performance level of standard bulk thermoelectrics," said Dave Koester, vice president of engineering at Nextreme. "Achieving a 60°C ΔT at room temperature raises the bar for improved efficiencies and lower operating costs for our customers while opening up new markets for Nextreme."
Nextreme will be introducing new products with this higher level of cooling performance in 2012.
More information on Nextreme's thermoelectric technology can be found at www.nextreme.com. Contact Nextreme at 3908 Patriot Drive, Suite 140, Durham, NC 27703-8031; call (919)-597-7300; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com; or go to www.nextreme.com.

They were the greatest trio of swashbuckling adventurers ever to ship out to the stars! There was giant Hal Samdu, rocklike Jay Kalam, and the incomparable, shrewd, and knavish Giles Habibula. Here is there first thrilling adventure - the peril-packed attempt to rescue the most important person in the galaxy, keeper of the vital secret essential to humanity's survival in the deadly struggle against the incredibly evil Medusae.
"Cliff-Hanging Space-Opera Adventure!"
The Legion of Space is classic sci-fi from the 30's and 40's: the enemies are alien and implacable, the companions steadfast and brave, the heroine be..Show More »autiful and imperiled, and the young hero fearless and daring. It's continuous, driving style of suspense has been successfully copied from the movie serials of the era. Listening to it takes you back to the days of Astounding, Galaxy, and Boys Life.What makes the book perhaps the best of its kind, however, is the slow emergence of the Falstaffian character Giles Habibula. He's a bit overdone in this first book of the series, but still the endearing anti-hero we've loved for so long.The prologue is a throw-away: the finger-cracking exercise of a writer getting up to speed. Plow through it and the story will grab you in chapter one, rush you along through alien worlds, and deposit you gasping but satisfied at the end.Sam Mowry's narration is smooth and unobtrusive, except for his pronunciation of Giles as "guiles" in the beginning. He corrects this after the first coffee break, and thereafter the characters are distinct and accurate - even the heroine's fragile but courageous timbre is totally believable.There are three more novels in the series. I look forward to hearing them all.« Show Less
In the second book in the Legion of Space series, Jay Kalam, Hal Samdu, and Giles Habibula fight The Cometeers, an alien race of energy beings controlling a "comet" which is really a giant force field containing a swarm of planets populated by their slaves. The slave races are of flesh and blood, but none are remotely similar to humans. The Cometeers cannot be destroyed by AKKA, as they are incorporeal from the Universe's point of view and exist for the most part in an alternate reality.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
A sinister message - and a loathsome serpent-like trademark - were the only clues the Legion of Space had to the identity of Mankind's most evasive and horrible enemy. But meanwhile, He or It - had meticulously begun to destroy the world... The Legion of Space was well accustomed to facing mortal peril in the black depths of outer space in order to defend humanity against its unearthly foes.
Decades after the murderous assaults on the civilized worlds by the Medusae and the Cometeers - worlds protected by the Legion of Space - the Hawkshead Nebula is a new setting of danger and intrigue. Jil Gyrel is a lonely girl on a dismal planet at the edge of that Nebula. Her life is changed forever when her father's long missing spaceship reappears. The only survivor is her father's best friend Shon Macharn.

Fresh off a four game sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder that put an end to Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Maverick's hope of a repeat championship, Dirk says that he wants other superstars added to the Mavericks roster.
Here are Dirk's comments following Saturday's 103-97 game four loss.
"We need some guys that can make plays for themselves," Nowitzki said. "That's pretty obvious. If you look at all the top teams now, they have at least two-three guys they can throw the ball to and they do their thing." Nowitzki then specifically mentioned how Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden each carried a Thunder team on different nights in the four-game sweep of the Mavericks. "If you want to be an elite team in the league right now, you have to have 2-3 guys that can go off at any time," Nowitzki added.
The aging Nowitzki may have a point. Teams like the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics are all having post-season success with a nucleus of star players.
Dirk has help from a cast of past stars such as Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd and Vince Carter. He watched potential contributor, Lamar Odom, burn out after only a handful of games. Dirk needs some fresh legs.
So maybe the Mavs make a run at hometown point guard, Deron Williams, or perhaps disgruntled center, Dwight Howard. Perhaps both?
The point is. Dallas needs help if they plan to contend again during Nowitzk's reign.
One sure way of ruining the Mavs for life…take Dwight! Throw everyone's rhythm off as he dribble, dribbles, does not hit the open man and turns it over, watch him disappear at the end of close games due to his inability to make pressure free throws, note his dividing of the locker room and undermining the coach. and his thug like fouling early in the game, sitting him to contemplate his next move to get out of town to further his "brand." One only has to note his ONE basket scored in game one of the 2009 Finals or his missed clutch free throws throughout. He definitely would lead the Mavs to oblivion.

Schoenfield, MD, PhD Medical Reviewing Editor: Dennis Lee, MD Dietary supplements, which are also referred to as health supplements, include herbal products, vitamins, minerals, and any product that is not being marketed as a food or drug (medication). People take dietary supplements with the idea of maintaining or improving their health. Recently, however, my colleagues and I reported in a medical journal a series of seven patients who were referred to us with severe liver injury. They developed the liver damage after taking a health supplement called Lipokinetix® to lose weight. This supplement is a mixture of chemicals that includes an extract from a particular tea. It is said to reduce weight by working to mimic exercise and increase metabolism. How and why can dietary supplements damage the liver? Within three months of starting Lipokinetix, these seven patients developed symptoms of acute hepatitis, including tiredness, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. They sought medical attention and their blood tests revealed severe liver damage. One of the patients actually developed acute (rapid) liver failure and almost required a liver transplant to save her life. After being in a coma for three days, she miraculously recovered and was able to leave the hospital. Indeed, in all seven patients, the symptoms disappeared and the liver tests returned to normal within several months after discontinuing Lipokinetix. That said, I have since been informed of another individual who took this same supplement, developed acute liver failure, and did require a liver transplant. She is doing well now. However, so that her body can continue to accept the new (foreign) liver, she will be taking powerful anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life. But that's not all! Numerous instances have been reported in the medical literature of dietary supplements, especially herbal products, causing liver damage. These supplements include kava (which has received much recent coverage in the press), Jin Bu Huan, germander, chaparral, shark cartilage, and mistletoe, to name a few. Dietary supplements can cause liver injury in a number of different ways. In some instances, for example with kava, liver injury is dose-related. That is, the higher the dose, the more often liver damage occurs. In many instances, however, liver injury is an unpredictable peculiarity in an individual (an idiosyncratic reaction). It is well known that people often take combinations of herbal and/or other dietary supplements. In this circumstance, if a person develops severe liver injury, identifying which supplement is the specific culprit is very difficult. What's more, as the dietary supplement market becomes more competitive, the manufacturers of supplements are mixing and matching their products and doing so in proportions that have never before been tried. A case in point is the above-mentioned Lipokinetix, which contains among its ingredients an ephedrine-like stimulant, a type of thyroid hormone, and the tea extract. The main problem is that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate the manufacturing process for dietary supplements, as it does for conventional drugs. You see, the FDA cannot consider a dietary supplement to be a food or a drug. Thus, the purity of dietary supplements is determined and reported to the public by the manufacturer only. Moreover, the dosage of these supplements is determined by the manufacturer and is often without scientific support or data that is published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Furthermore, the FDA requires no pre-marketing animal or clinical testing of dietary supplements, as it does for conventional drugs. Additionally, physicians report adverse events only voluntarily when they happen to encounter them. Therefore, as long as the manufacturer does not make an outrageous claim about their product, and does not market the product as a food or a drug, these supplements end up on the store shelves without much, if any, scrutiny by the FDA. It turns out that designating a health product as a dietary supplement is a loophole created by the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act. (The term "dietary supplement" implies an addition to the diet of something that is already present in the food we eat.) This loophole enables the producers of dietary supplements to avoid FDA regulation of the manufacturing of these products. Well, this situation regarding the rather loose regulation of dietary supplements makes me nervous. I am concerned, especially when considering that conventional drugs (medications) are subjected to a fairly rigorous review process. What is the review process for conventional drugs? For a drug to be released on the market in the U.S., it must go through many steps, including extensive testing in animals and three phases of clinical testing in people. In the first phase, the drug is given to healthy subjects to determine the potential for adverse effects (toxicity). In doing this, different doses of the drug are tested to ensure that even a dose that is several times greater than the intended dose is safe in humans. 1 2 Next Share this Article: Facebook Twitter Email Print Article STAY INFORMED Get the latest health and medical information delivered direct to your inbox!

Jeanne finds Erik's "social complaints" to be numerous, but missing from the art. Andres agrees. And Nao, Jeanne explains, is a performance artist who couldn't explain her performance. Bill didn't find Jaime's piece compelling, and Andres suggests scaring her into being a better artist. Jeanne loves Jerry's idea of having John suck his own dick, and Bill agrees that it was jokey and not shocking enough. I'm really disappointed with John this week. I just can't tell if he has it or not, and I think he'd agree, and that's the problem.
Of Jaclyn and Abdi, one wins immunity: And it's Abdi. For making the only piece that was not shocking in any way, but still was better than everything else. That's so Abdi!
So for double-elimination it's Nao, Erik, John and JL. China seems a bit upset by this elimination. Jerry calls John a fake, Jeanne calls Nao a "scatological mess," Bill takes Jaime to task for once again being "not wild enough," and China Chow tries to explain to Erik that choosing a taboo subject and waving your hands toward it going oooooo is not the same thing as being an artist. A lesson they've tried to teach him each week so far. Which of these four will go home? I hope it's Nao and Erik, but I fear it'll be Jaime and... Hmm. Anybody but John, that would be the worst-case. I have no idea who the other one will be.
Jaime is... SAFE! Crazy. Erik is safe. Dammit. Although I guess given the options, his was a lot more attractive than the other two. At least he tried, as hard as he always does, which John basically did not do. And I think there's a little asterisk by his name on everybody's voting cards reminding them that he's not got the advantages of all the other artists, like for instance how they're artists.
Well, so that's John and Nao. Quite a sacrifice to make, but one I'm willing to make to get Nao out of here. I think it says something that I'm more upset about how damned cute he is and less about his bright-pink art style. Also, that thing was a piece of crap.
While John tells us that his mistake was in trying to impress Andres Serrano -- which, in a nutshell, is a mistake nobody can afford to make -- Nao explains: "Failure is completely okay in the process of making art -- we have to really push beyond our own boundaries and be able to fail." I love how even failing at art makes her a better artist than everybody else: "I don't know that the kind of work I make has been valued in a fine art gallery situation," she says, as though that proves the nonexistence of "fine art gallery situations."
I can't wait for her drunk speech at the reunion. ("Honestly I can only give him a personal critique nobody would ever know unless they personally respond to me would know what my personal response is. And that is of me. And personally I believe that you can't like push the boundaries and like Johnny Cash. Walk the line.")
I'll miss you, John, but I'm glad Jaime Lynn gets another shot. And that Penguin commission sure won't hurt. Next week, JL's going to do some kind of pageant queen thing, I'm guessing, while Proud Pussy will find a compelling reason to take naked pictures of herself. Ryan will explain that he is a "tortured rock star" who disdains Urban Outfitters and -- like any good hipster -- hipsters, while Miles pines pointlessly and waits for his (500) Days Of Nicole to finally start. And China Chow, O the outfits she will wear.

NASHVILLE (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has called for alternatives to President Barack Obama's health care law, kicking off a day of campaigning in a Southern state key to his struggling presidential campaign.
Gingrich said he would repeal Obama's health care law if Republicans win congressional majorities. He said at a health care forum Monday that Republicans should think of this time as "the beginning of the replacement debate rather than just the anti-Obamacare debate."
Gingrich hopes to win his home state of Georgia and have a strong showing in Tennessee on contests held on Super Tuesday on March 6. The former Georgia congressman has been courting voters in his home state and in the South, hoping to revitalize his bid. He was holding campaign events in Nashville.

Jeff Mathis' game-winning grand slam Sunday wasn't just any ordinary home run. It was the 3,000th homer in Marlins history.
Neither he nor manager Mike Redmond was aware of the milestone.
"I didn't get that memo," Redmond joked after Sunday's 6-2 win over the Padres.
It was another catcher, Benito Santiago, who hit the first Marlins home run in 1993.
According to Stats LLC, the Marlins became the third-fastest team to get to 3,000 home runs, doing so in their 3,252nd game.
The Colorado Rockies reached the milestone the quickest, hitting their 3,000th homer in their 2,618th game.
Only two teams — Arizona and Tampa Bay — haven't yet hit 3,000 homers.
Though the Marlins have never been known as a home run-hitting club (they've had only one player, Gary Sheffield, hit as many as 40 home runs in a season), they joined the majors at a time when baseballs were flying out of the park in record numbers.
To help illustrate the Marlins' milestone, consider that it took the "Bronx Bombers" — the New York Yankees — 5,740 games to get to 3,000 homers and the Boston Red Sox a whopping 8,057 games to do it.
'Great memories'
Padres outfielder Mark Kotsay is the last remaining active player from the Marlins' 1997 World Series team.
"Seriously?" Kotsay replied when informed of his distinction.
Kotsay was called up in July of that season and hit .192 in 18 games before being sent back to the minors.
He did not play in the postseason.
"I have great memories from that year," Kotsay, 37, said of his first taste of major-league baseball. "I left a little bit of an impression in spring training — I had a great spring training my first season — and I got rewarded. I was there 18 days, played in every game."
Kotsay's fondest memory: a bases-loaded triple off the Phillies' Mark Leiter ( Al's brother) in his second big-league game.
"The only negative memory was that I got a 'B' [World Series] ring and not an 'A' ring," he said. "There were a few of us that received 'B' rings."
Kotsay was the Marlins' first-round draft pick in 1996 and the last college player to be drafted by the Marlins before they took North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran this year.
Coming up
• Monday: Marlins RHP Jose Fernandez (4-4, 2.98 ERA) vs. San Diego Padres RHP Jason Marquis (9-3, 3.99), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Tuesday: Marlins RHP Tom Koehler (1-5, 4.78) at Atlanta Braves RHP Kris Medlen (5-7, 3.02), 7:10 p.m., Turner Field.
• Scouting report: Since May 1, Fernandez's 2.37 ERA is 11th in the National League. Among rookie pitchers with at least 15 starts this season, Fernandez has the lowest opponents' batting average (.203).

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The public employees who maintain local roads across New York gathered in Albany to push state officials for increased funding for transportation projects.
Officials with the New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways and the New York State County Highway Superintendents Association say more than 600 highway superintendents, county and town highway officials and transportation advocates gather on Wednesday.
They're calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislators to increase state funding of local bridge and road construction projects as part of a campaign called "Local Roads Matter."
This construction on the Dunn Memorial Bridge is just one of more than 200 different projects aimed at improving the state's infrastructure; something Governor Cuomo has called a priority. But while billions of dollars has been spent on repairing state roads and bridges, county and town highway officials say local ones have been neglected.
Richard Kukuk, the Clifton Park Town Superintendent of Highways says while 80 percent of roads and 50 percent of bridges in the state are local, he says they haven't had any increases in funding from the state in five years.
County and town officials are calling on the governor and legislature to include $100 million in additional funding for local infrastructure in the budget.
In the town of Clifton Park, the lack of money has meant the bridge on Carlton Road has been red flagged by the DOT.
Kukuk says, "It's critical that I repair or replace that bridge." Kukuk says the cost of fixing that bridge would be at least $150,000.
"I'm hoping for an additional source of funds to supplement our normal source," Kukuk said. He says if the town doesn't get the funding then DOT will close that bridge.

Denise, it's the first formal apology, and it occurred after the second time they were asked to leave the store. After the first time they were asked to leave, the response was to give them a $25 gift card, but as far as I know, that came with no formal apology
