NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say a hustler cabbie who preys on arriving passengers at New York's Kennedy Airport has been arrested -- but not before his Lincoln town car crashed.
Port Authority Police spokesman Al Della Fave says two officers spotted a family of four getting into a gypsy cab. They recognized the driver as a hustler who charges sky-high rates for a ride into Manhattan.
Della Fave says the officers tried to warn the passengers, and the family's teenage son put his hand on the steering wheel.
He says the car crashed into a guardrail and the driver ran.
Driver Bhupinder Singh was arrested on charges including reckless endangerment and resisting arrest. No information on a lawyer was available.
The mother and father of the family were treated for bumps and bruises.

Vivien Leigh as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire
- Other Nominees
·Katharine Hepburn as Rose Sayer in The African Queen
·Eleanor Parker as Mary McLeod in Detective Story
·Shelley Winters as Alice Tripp in A Place in the Sun
·Jane Wyman as Louise Mason in The Blue Veil
Leigh won her two Oscars for playing unforgettable Southern belles, first the strong, fiery Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and then the neurotic, fragile Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. Leigh had starred as Blanche in the London production of Streetcar directed by her then-husband, Laurence Olivier. Although Jessica Tandy had played Blanche to great acclaim on Broadway and most of the other members of the film cast were veterans of the Broadway production, Leigh won the plum screen role because it was thought that Tandy lacked the requisite box office clout. As Blanche, the sensitive, disturbed beauty who has always depended on the kindness of strangers to survive, Leigh allowed her own delicate frailty to show and delivered a powerful, haunting performance. She was rewarded with not only the Oscar but accolades from the New York Film Critics' Circle and the Venice Film Festival as well.
Vivien Leigh (b. Nov. 5, 1913, Darjeeling, Indiad. July 7, 1967, London, Eng.)

Now that we've been three instead of two for some months, we're turning back into a real development team, instead of just individual programmers. It reminds me of my previous experiences in teamwork, both as a team leader and as a consultant. This renewed team reality confronted me with a long forgotten – crucial – concept: the importance of collective ownership of the code – and how hard it is to master.

it's looking like July 4th!
Tom Ford and his daughter Kennedy prepare their front yard anticipating the July 4th parade that goes down their East Sac street. The block party along 41st St. starts at 10am. Ford built a 400 sq. ft stage in front of his front porch which will host the band Q-Balls. Behind the red, white and blue post is a cantina which will serve drinks. Parade begins at 11am.
Ford's neighbor Joe Riehl delivers the signs for Tom's cantina. In the bed of the pickup is a ping-pong table for tournaments after the parade.
A taco eating contest will take place nearby. Riehl says he and Ford are the "unofficial" co-chairs of the parade.
East Sac's 4th of July parade begins on 41st St., under this banner which is halfway between J and M Streets.
Neighbors across the street from Ford and Riehl prepare also by putting up canopies for food and drinks.

10 – How much I'd dislike one of my kid's friends. (The one who defaced something of mine after I respectfully corrected her bad behavior. I know, I know. This should really by titled: How I would talk smack about a 5-year-old…)
9 – How nauseous I'd feel seeing this tagged on a bench at one of our regular parks:
Not just because it made my stomach drop to hear my daughter yell, "Mama? What does 'b-i-t-c-h' spell?" but because it made me remember how it felt to find the same thing written along with my name when I was 16.
8 – How much I'd loathe bathtime.
7 – How real sleepless nights, especially at other people's houses, often include some form of helplessness and rage.
6 - How much I'd invest in healing paraphernalia, and how I'd require proof in blood before handing out Princess Band-Aids. Unless, of course, we're having a playdate. Band-aids flow freely to the tune of a friend's fake injury.
5 - That sometimes, when I act like I'm talking to my kids in public, I'm really talking to the people around us. "Oh Sweetie, I'm so proud of how you dressed yourself today!" or "Now, now, you know I don't listen to you when you whine." or "What's that? You want to buy alphabet soup for the dog to see if makes her speak? Of course! Aren't you clever."
4 - How playdates for toddlers are really interviews for parents.
3 - PRESENT FAIL and how mad it would make me. Especially when I should've known better than to purchase something called Cra-Z-Cook'n Marshmallow Maker in the first place. Of course my 5-year-old would injure herself using it, and then demand a band-aid for her eye. Of course the 32-year-old parent who followed the teddy bear mold instructions implicitly could only make this:
2 – The extent to which I'd go to locate where the smell of poop was coming from.
1 - How much fun it would be to pretend I don't have kids. To wander around the zoo, a museum, or just sit in a coffee house alone. Of course, it's only fun because I have kids to return home to. I never would've expected how lonely life would seem without them.

ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunoassay. It is a commonly used laboratory test to detect antibodies in the blood.
Alternative Names
Enzyme-linked immunoassay; EIA
How the test is performed
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
The sample is sent to a laboratory where the targeted antibody (or antigen) is linked to an enzyme. If the target substance is in the sample, the test solution turns a different color.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is needed.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
This test is often used to see if you have been exposed to viruses or other substances that cause infection. It is often used to screen for current or past infections.
Normal Values
Normal values depend on the type of substance being identified. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal values depend on the type of substance being identified. In some people, a positive result may be normal.
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation announced Wednesday that it will no longer fund breast cancer prevention, screenings and education at Planned Parenthood health centers.
Pat Hurd, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia, which has clinics in Virginia Beach and Hampton, expressed his disappointment in the decision: "As a health care provider to more than 10,000 women in our community, Planned Parenthood is a trusted leader in helping women identify breast cancer early. ... Victims of cancer could care less about people's politics." (It's generally accepted that the withdrawal of funds is due to pressure from anti-abortion activists.)
Over the past five years, Planned Parenthood health centers, with Komen program funding, have provided nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams out of the more than 4 million performed nationally at PP; as well as more than 6,400 mammogram referrals out of 70,000.
More than 90 percent of of Planned Parenthood services are preventive in nature, including cancer screenings, birth control, testing and treatment of STDs, breast health services, Pap tests, and sexual health education and information.
Local clinics are at: 403 Yale Drive, Hampton, 826-2079; 515 Newtown Road, Virginia Beach, 499-7526.

I am very fortunate to have a few family friends that both myself and my kids love to hang out with. One of my friends in particular has this amazing back yard that puts mine to shame. The last time we were there, my kids spent the entire time taking turns on their seesaw. On the way home, my five year old told me that he was going to ask Santa for one. I remember loving seesaws as a child, but they aren't something you see much of anymore. So, I did a little internet search and discovered a company that sells them, Hearthsong.
I am actually quite familiar with Hearthsong. I always liked their product line because they carry unique toys, games, and crafts that you are not going to find in your average toy store. Their toys are usually top of the line and they enliven creativity in children that seems to be sometimes lost in this generation. I think Einstein had it right when he said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world." And where does imagination start, in the hearts of our children. A majority of Hearthsong's toys have inspired children for the past 25 years.
I am excited to say that this year my five year old will be receiving what he asked Santa for. Hearthsong will be acting as Santa this year. They sent us their Durable Weather-Resistant Metal Spinning Seesaw. It is recommended for ages three through eight and holds a total of 90 pounds. My two youngest will have a blast with this! They are very creative and I can just imagine them pretending to ride a rocket ship blasting to the stars.
The creators of the spinning seesaw have clearly taken safety into consideration. The base is a tripod and the toy has ground stakes to increase stability. The handlebars are sturdy and it includes rubber bumpers. Furthermore, The ability to spin, is optional. You can convert the seesaw to be seesaw only or allow it the ability to make a 360 degree rotation. I love that I can make it more exciting for the older kids, but convert it to a simpler mode for the toddler who is not ready yet for spinning.
Another thing that I really like about the Spinning Seesaw, is that it has weather resistant metal. The desert weather I live in tends to be really hard on our backyard toys. Furthermore, it is a good size. It is not so big that it won't fit in my medium-sized backyard.
Hearthsong is being incredibly generous with me and my readers this year. They are offering one lucky reader the choice between the Spinning Seesaw or a $50 gift card.

Alvin Plantinga's Decisive Refutation of the Atheist Use of the Problem of Evil as a Disproof of God's Existence, Goodness, or Omnipotence
This is a major new paper (posted on my website) about my favorite Christian philosopher and how he dismantled the classic version of what I consider to be the most serious objection to Christianity. If you want to make your head spin and indulge in a feast of logical, philosophical wizardry, check this out! I abridge Plantinga's actual argument that has been so influential over the last 32 years since its publication.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) The U-W Milwaukee men's basketball team won its first Horizon League game last night, 69-to-57 at home over Cleveland State. Freshman Austin Arians scored a season-high 19 points off the bench. He hit five shots from three-point range, and added nine rebounds. One of Arians' three-pointers put Milwaukee in front for good, midway through the first half.
The Panthers led by seven at the break, and by as many as 20 in the second half. Paris Gulley scored 17 points for U-W-M. He's been in double figures in 10 of his 12 games, after sitting out the first six contests with a broken hand. Bryn Forbes had 16 points for Cleveland State, which shot only 34-percent for the night.
The Vikings dropped to 2-and-3 in the Horizon League and 10-and-9 overall. Milwaukee is now 1-and-3 in the conference and 5-and-13 overall. They'll host Youngstown State tomorrow. The U-W Green Bay men rallied in the second half last night to beat Youngstown State at home, 67-to-58. The game was tied at 25 at the break, and the Phoenix pulled away with a 15-to-1 run midway through the second half. Green Bay shot 45-percent from the floor, and made only one-of-six from three-point range. But the Phoenix were 24-of-30 from the free-throw line, and they had a balanced attack.
Jordan Fouse had 12 points and nine rebounds. Brennan Cougill and Carrington Love scored 11 each, and Keifer Sykes had 10 as Green Bay won its sixth game in its last eight. Kendrick Perry scored a game-high 21 for Youngstown State, which dropped to 1-and-3 in the Horizon League and 9-and-8 overall.
Green Bay evened its overall record to 9-and-9, and they're now 3-and-2 in the conference. The Phoenix will host Cleveland State tomorrow. The Wisconsin women got crushed at eighth-ranked Penn State last night, 84-to-40. It was the Badgers' sixth straight loss, and their most lopsided defeat since March of 1994 when they fell to Purdue by 48 points.
It was also Penn State's first win of 40-or-more points in a dozen years. The Lady Lions scored the first 11 points – and a 20-to-6 run gave them a 31-to-9 lead with just under seven minutes left in the first half. The Badgers trailed by 25 at the intermission. And they scored the first bucket in the second half before Penn State continued to dominate with a 9-0 run.
The Badgers committed 24 turnovers, and the Lady Lions scored 29 points off those miscues. Penn State also had a commanding 55-31 rebounding edge.
Wisconsin only had nine players suit-up due to injuries. And starting center Cassie Rochel played despite having a stomach illness. She had four points and six rebounds. Nikki Greene had 23 points and 14 rebounds for Penn State, which improved to 4-and-0 in the Big Ten and 14-and-2 overall. Wisconsin dropped to 0-and-5 in the conference and 8-and-10 overall.
The Badgers will host Ohio State on Sunday. The U-W Green Bay women won their eighth straight game, 52-to-49 at home last night over Cleveland State. The Phoenix trailed by 12 points early in the second half, but they slowly chipped away. Sarah Eichler put the Phoenix in front with a three-pointer with around eight minutes left. There would be eight more lead changes before Eichler banked in a shot with 1:35 to go, which gave Green Bay a three-point lead. And the Phoenix hung on from there.
Eichler had a game-high 17 points, as Green Bay shot 50-percent in the second half and just under 40-percent for the game. The Phoenix also held its opponent under 50 points for the 11th time in 15 games this season.
Shalonda Winton scored 13 points for Cleveland State, which committed 26 turnovers to Green Bay's 13. The Vikings dropped to 2-and-1 in the Horizon League and 10-and-6 overall. Green Bay is now 3-and-0 in the conference and 13-and-2 overall. They'll play at Youngstown State tomorrow. -1/18- The U-W Milwaukee women lost at Youngstown State last night, 67-to-50. The Panthers coughed up the ball a season-high 27 times, and shot 35-percent in breaking a 15-game winning streak over the Penguins. Milwaukee trailed by eight at the intermission. Youngstown scored seven of the first nine points in the second half, and Milwaukee never got any closer than 10 after that.
Senior Sami Tucker scored her one-thousandth career point – and she became only the fourth Milwaukee player to amass both a thousand points and 600 rebounds. Emily Decorah led U-W-M with 14 points and five rebounds, and she made 4-of-9 from three-point range. Monica Touville scored a career-high 23 off the bench for Youngstown State, which improved to 1-and-1 in the Horizon League and 11-and-4 overall.
It was the first time in 13 years that the Penguins won 11-of-their-first-15, and they're now 6-and-0 at home. Milwaukee dropped to 0-and-2 in the conference and 4-and-10 overall. The Panthers will play at Cleveland State tomorrow.

PLACITAS, N.M. – A police pursuit Friday night ended with one person dead and two other suspects arrested, according to New Mexico State Police.
The incident started at approximately 10:30 p.m. after Albuquerque police officers chased three suspects that were apparently shoplifting items from the Wal-Mart store on Carlisle Boulevard.
The suspects were heading on I-25 northbound in a stolen vehicle when an NMSP officer joined in the chase. Suspects shot at officers from the moving vehicle, but the agents did not return fire.
After driving erratically for about 45 minutes, the suspects diverted onto State Road 165 and fled on foot near Placitas. Two of the suspects turned themselves in peacefully to authorities. The third suspect apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The deceased suspect has been identified as 36-year-old Jaycob J. Gabaldon of Albuquerque.
One of the two surviving suspects, Steven Fisher, was arrested on an unrelated warrant.
The other suspect has not been identified.
The case is still under investigation. Stay tuned to KOB.com and KOB4 Eyewitness News for future updates.

EEB undergraduate students at a field site.
Source: Nicole Carbone, EEB Peer Advisor 2009-2010
EVE in the News
Evolution, Ecology & Biodiversity Undergraduate Program
Evolution and Ecology faculty designed the major requirements to ensure that everyone receiving an Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity (EEB) degree would have a broad and balanced exposure to basic biology. Within the overall guidelines set by the major, you are allowed quite a bit of flexibility in designing a program uniquely fitted to your needs. The EEB major offers students a broad background in the theoretical and empirical basis of our understanding of the diversity and distribution of living organisms. The program of study for the Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity major begins with a core of introductory courses in mathematics, physical sciences, and biology. These are followed by survey courses in Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity and various more specialized courses that allow the student to focus his or her studies.
Learning Objectives for Students in the Evolution, Ecology & Biodiversity Major
Describe the fundamental processes that cause or prevent adaptive evolution, speciation and extinction
Describe the basic methods that are used to reconstruct the evolutionary histories of, and relationships among, groups of organisms
Based on evolutionary theory, predict how differences in population size, natural selection and gene flow will affect genetic variation and future adaptability of populations
Apply knowledge of evolution to the solution of problems facing the human population and to the preservation of biodiversity
Exemplify problems in human society that are caused by a misunderstanding of the scientific process generally, and of evolution specifically
Describe the processes involved in population growth and regulation and how these can be applied to the management of natural populations
Describe the fundamental processes that promote species coexistence and lead to the maintenance of species diversity
Apply and integrate knowledge of species' biology, interactions among species, and environmental variation to predict the structure and functioning of ecosystems
Based on ecological theory, predict the potential consequences of specific human activities including harvesting, pollution, and climate change on species' abundances and distributions, and ecosystem processes
Apply foundational knowledge in ecology to understand and predict the consequences for humans of changes in ecological communities
Describe global patterns of species diversity and methods used to assess biodiversity
Describe and interpret the morphological and ecological diversity of a group of organisms in a phylogenetic framework
Describe the processes that increase or decrease biodiversity at both evolutionary and ecological time scales
Apply quantitative models and data to the solution of problems in genetics, evolution and ecology
Integrate fundamental principles of evolution and ecology to solve problems of interest to human societies
EEB Student Testimonials
"Choosing EEB (EVE) as my primary major was the most important decision I made as an undergraduate at UC Davis. The interesting and provocative classes helped awaken a passion for studying the natural world, leading me on a career path that I love and am proud of. The professors and advising staff were very accessible and encouraged me to become an active member of the EVE and University community. The major also provided me with pertinent and enjoyable jobs, internships, and study abroad opportunities that played a major role in my successful post graduate life. If it was not for the EVE professors, staff, and experiences, I would not have been able to find a substantial job in research right out of college or gain admission to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine."
— Jake Theil
"I graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor's degree in Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity (EEB) in 2008. When I look back at my time in EEB I recognize that I had multiple unique experiences. One of these experiences was studying at Bodega Bay, where I learned how to think independently and solve problems in a way that I had never been asked to do previously. The EVE faculty were constantly challenging me to go beyond what is possible in a traditional classroom environment. After my time at Bodega I also had the opportunity to further develop my research skills while participating in EVE 180, "Experimental Ecology and Evolution in the Field". As a part of this course I was able to work with 2 outstanding faculty members as well as 19 other undergraduates to develop and carry out a publishable research project. What I learned as a part of this project went far beyond facts and theories of research– I learned how field research actually works. I also had the opportunity to learn molecular techniques by working in the Strong Lab for 2 years of my undergraduate studies.
All of the opportunities that I took advantage of in EEB have been invaluable to me since graduating. Directly after graduating, I was hired by a non-profit called the Center for Land- Based Learning where I run education programs for high school students that focus on environmental restoration. This position requires that I be able to problem-solve and think creatively, skills that I was able to learn in the EEB major. In the fall I will be leaving my current position to begin my graduate degree in Plant Biology at the University of California, Riverside, which was my first choice of graduate programs! While I was applying to graduate programs I had the complete support of the EVE faculty. They were constantly available to me for advice, and were excited to write me letters of recommendation. I am confident that in addition to helping me with admission to graduate school, all of the unique experiences that I had in the EEB major have prepared me for success in graduate school and beyond."

The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
The Sony NSZ-GS7 has sleek hardware and an innovative remote, but it's hampered by the still too-limited and frustrating Google TV software.
The smartphone that entered the market in June 2009 is discontinued in wake of the iPhone 5's debut.
With the debut of the iPhone 5, Apple is likely to discontinue the 3GS and offer the 8GB iPhone 4 for free, according to The Telegraph.
Apple's iPhone 3GS shipments are expected to hit 2 million this quarter, and 1.4 million to 1.6 million next quarter.
In a curious and unexplained move, the telecommunications giant modestly increases the price of its low-end iPhone. That's probably not going to stop the demand.
A follow-up to 9to5Mac's report on developer Steven Troughton-Smith's porting of Siri to an iPhone 4 reveals that another developer, Ryan Petrich, has created a scenario for Siri to function on an iPhone 3GS, though performance is not very good.
This edition of Ask Maggie helps one reader decide if he should update his iPhone 3GS to the latest version of iOS.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, based on sales and upgrade data, thinks that nearly 19 million customers with the iPhone 3GS will upgrade to the iPhone 4S this year.
The new iPhone 4S is coming, so are the current iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS now bargains?

McCollum is not the answer at SG, if we are not going to trade Matthews then this pick is wasted. McCollum might be able to score at the next level but he will take minutes away from Barton, which will not help him.
Then just flat out wasted our second round draft picks.
Torodovic is just as far away from being a Blazer as Freeland was.
Jerrett is a terrible athlete and struggle to even get 20 minutes a game last year he is someone that should have stayed in school.
Jeff Whitney is okay but the team needs people with a either a high upside or that can contribute right now, Whitney does not meet those requirements.
I hope McCollum can shoot at the next level because if not we will have another Nolan Smith, Luke Babbitt on our hands.
Posted 06/27/2013 9:55 PM
Very dissapointed with our second rounders!!!! Withey was a very good pick but that stretch 4, no-neck, freshman will not make a NBA roster. Neither will that euro
Why draft McCollum and then get Crabbe??!? Too many guards. Blazers should have got some defensive guys! Would have grabbed Glen Rice, Franklin, TONY MITCHELL,
Not impressed with where were heading. I would start a rebuild if I were portland. Blow it up now
Posted 06/27/2013 9:57 PM
Actually he IS part of the answer; it's going to b sort of a sg by committee thing (have a STRONG feeling that we'll bring in Toney Allen). This IS NOT a "terrible draft," & it's sad but it seems almost fact now that Wes will b traded to get Gortat (because of our situation + PHX got Len). This draft AND what's coming IS going to be good! I'm happy as hell! THIS IS what I wanted! :)
ps cmeese47, I'm gonna say, "WHAT A TERRIBLE POST."
Posted 06/27/2013 10:13 PM
I actually like Crabbe but seriously from the looks of things I think Portland expects McCollum to be a back up PG and considering his passing number in pick and roll situations were the second worst in college last year, I believe that will be a major stretch for him.
Posted 06/27/2013 10:19 PM
Ugh were gonna score 110 and give up 130 with McCollum, Crabbe, Lillard, and Leonard probably being our starting center.
Withey is nice though
Hopefully McCollum can light it up and be like LIllard and we can flip him for a great center. Don't like the future of him and Damian. Like the pick though, he was BPA
Posted 06/27/2013 10:29 PM
Yes, we have a glaring weakness on the defense but we also have a glaring weakness with our ability to score off the bench. I'm semi interested in how we use McCollum, could be fun.
Posted 06/27/2013 10:32 PM
I disagree, I think this draft was good (although I was freaking out that Franklin slipped all the way down to us and we didn't take him). McCollum has the potential to be very good at either guard spot. Crabbe and Withey were very smart and worse comes to worse we don't sign either of them along with Jerret. But, there's always that chance we find a second round jem (possibly Crabbe), you never know so I think as of right now it was a good draft, and I don't think a verdict should be made just yet. And what if Crabbe is already better than Barton... never knoooow
Posted 06/27/2013 10:40 PM
Yeah but weird drafting Crabbe AND McCollum. Unless Cj has some real PG skills that no one really thinks, which could be a possibility since that what has played before.
I would be very happy if McCollums turns out to be a decent PG and not too much of a defensive liability.
McCollum, Lillard and Crabbe could be great or horrible
Posted 06/27/2013 10:49 PM
He may not be the best facilitator, but thats also what everyone said about Damian, and he has a crazy handle. Another person who can create for himself is a great improvement. Now we need someone to clog the paint. And on to Crabbe, I think we should wait to see if it was bad or not, SUMMER LEAGUE
Posted 06/27/2013 10:56 PM
Yeah but now how will we get a center now? So were not going to sign some 6th man SG anymore (Evans, Henderson, Redick)
Will be interesting to see how Olshey takes on FA
Posted 06/27/2013 11:17 PM
I think we all are foregetting Dame is working on defense with Payton. With Wesley's heart Crabbes length Dame's all around ability and CJ's shot and handle, this one of the best young backcourts. Probably the best behind GSW. Not to mention The Thrill
Posted 06/27/2013 11:23 PM
I am going to say a few things, some of you might not like them but they need to be said.
First 2 first round draft picks were sold today Minnesota at 26 and Denver's at 27. We have I believe the second wealthiest owner in the league and statistically the worst bench scoring wise in the last 20 years in the NBA. How in hell did we not buy these picks. Really we could use Jeff Whitney and not Rudy Gobert. Not only that but for the second year in a row we sold a second round pick.
Second how many shooting guards do we need. I realize Crabbe and McCollum are both supposed to be great shooters but what does that mean for Matthews and Barton?
Third while I like Crabbe, taking him after getting McCollum baffles me especially considering Jamaal Franklin was still available and he has a tremendous motor, good defensive fundamentals and a diverse skills set. I have no problem with Crabbe but he has Matthews like handles and little passing ability. Franklin does not have a perimeter shot and turns the ball over too much but consider his tool set and upside passing on him is a mistake.
Here is what I would have done differently:
Draft Shabazz Muhammad at #10 McCollum is a solid rebounder for his position and gets into the passing lanes pretty well as well. However, I do not know what shooting numbers to believe he shot 42% from deep as a fresh then 31% then 34% and 51% last year. I like his ability as a catch and shoot guy and his willingness to get to the line. However, his passing skills are very poor to be considered a PG, ranked second worst in NCAA in passing from the pick and roll. He is also too small to be an effective defender at the next level at the SG position. I believe Muhammad wants to be great, I think he just needs someone who can command his respect. I like his fit at SF better than adding depth to the SG position already 2 deep.
The Crabbe deal is a nice move for Portland but considering they already have McCollum adding another SG with range is not exactly a necessity. By Portland taking Muhammad at #10, Crabbe has a more defined role as a scorer and shooter off the bench, with McCollum now he is competing with him, Barton and Mattews for minutes.
Portland very easily could have offered cash and a 2014 second rounder to Minnesota for pick #26 since that is what they traded the pick for allowing them to take Rudy Gobert.
Portland could have then bested the Wizards offer for pick #35 with #39 and #45 to take Tony Mitchell. He is a great rebounder, and defender and if his confidence in his jumper returns he could also become a solid scorer.
Lastly with pick #40 Portland should have drafted Erick Greene, he has solid fundamentals on defense but could use some muscle and some physicality. Otherwise he is a great ball handler who had college basketballs best pull up jumper last season. While he might struggle a little with contact and around the rim. His high basketball IQ and significant upside make this pick well worth any risk.
In one night I just gave the Blazers depth at every position with a lot better talent than what we ended up with.
Posted 06/27/2013 11:33 PM
I love how you think you know WAY more about the prospects then Olshey.
Why Blazers didnt draft Mitchell is BEYOND me! I also believe we could have bought a late pick. THere was A LOT of deals I wish Blazers could have been but they weren't.
I want Shabazz to be great! I really like him as a person I and I hope him the best in life because I felt really bad for him.
But I wouldn't have drafted him at 10. The dude can't create his own shot. He would be getting his points off catch and shoots and garbage buckets. McCollum's gonna be able to get buckets next season and will be a valuable asset. Shabazz has a high BUST potential. 10th was a hard spot to draft. I probably would have traded it BUT whats Done IS Done
Posted 06/27/2013 11:47 PM
I believe that if Lamarcus is traded we get our center, I assume that if we don't, we sign a veteran to mentor Leonard and maybe Withey, probably Dalambert. And I either read or heard (can't remember) that the reason Jamaal Franklin slipped was because of personal issues.
Posted 06/27/2013 11:56 PM
This draft was too weird. SO many weird players drafted ahead of players that were SUPPOSED to go higher.
Ok Olshey, find a center and maybe another attacking wing then I'll love you. Forever.
Wouldnt Big Al make sense? Opens up shooters like Crabbe, CJ, Damian, Nic and Matthews??? I could dig it
Posted 06/27/2013 11:59 PM
Posted 06/28/2013 12:04 AM
I feel like almost every team thought they were gonna make a huge splash in the way they drafted but almost everyone did
Posted 06/28/2013 12:50 AM
Portland is not extending maynor. Grant was sold for cash to the thunder crabbe I think will be used in a trade. Crabbe also has the size to play the 3. I think Neil did the perfect thing by getting whithey and the Europe kid because he will stay there. Have extra cash for free agency, Portland I think goes after a player like al horford while teams are busy with Dwight. All in all great draft.
Posted 06/28/2013 2:36 AM
I hope we got good pieces and we have a plan in place because right now I am confused with the approach but I hope my initial reaction is off.
Posted 06/28/2013 3:59 AM
I don't mind that we drafted CJ and Crabbe. CJ will sort be a backup Dame, and Crabbe can play the 3. This way Will Barton still gets his minutes. Now we are legit, 2 deep at the first 3 positions. I think we should have gotten Mike Muscala though. That irritated me. And Cmeese, PDX didn't buy the picks because they are saving up for free agency.
Posted 06/28/2013 5:48 AM
Posted By cmeese47 on 06/27/2013 11:23 PM
Second how many shooting guards do we need. I realize Crabbe and McCollum are both supposed to be great shooters but what does that mean for Matthews and Barton?
could be three things; matthews gets traded; they might want to be able to go small and play three guards, dame, cj, and wes at the 3 but i think as much as they could be lights out shooters i don't think it would be good defensively. i know wes can guard the sf position but idk if cj could handle the 2; or olshey doesn't know wtf he's doing.
i'm a little disappointed we didn't get any help in the front court but we'll see what happens in free agency.
Posted 06/28/2013 6:05 AM
I think they will cut back Damian's minutes to about 34-36, give CJ solid 6th man minutes, cut back on Wes, give more to Barton, cut Batum's, give to Crabbe for those inevitable stretches where we need offence.
We had two weakness, bench and centre. We have solved (mostly, free agency still pending) the bench. Started solving centre, with Whithey.
Posted 06/28/2013 6:48 AM
I am looking at we tried to beef up our bench with a few projects down the way. Withey I see as a D league representative at first, Paul just had to have his euro-love by drafting a bench player from Barcelona. Crabbe or CJ is going to be a trade piece. No neck will be a D league rep for now. Our first and second round draft picks next year are gone so our free agency period this year better produce results.
The NBA does everything bass ackwards they should have had free agency start the day before the draft. I think it would make the draft more meaningful and those lottery teams more able to get out of the lottery.
Posted 06/28/2013 6:52 AM
Posted 06/28/2013 7:06 AM
Who else should they have drafted at 10? Steven Adams, Olynyk? We drafted another scorer, and someone on the team apart from Damian who can actually handle the ball. We got a sixth man. We couldn't address both issues in the draft. It was either centre in draft, bench in FA, or vice versa.
And barnettfan, we took a Euro guy to reserve cap space for FA.
Posted 06/28/2013 7:36 AM
I like the 10th pick. McCollum was definitely the BPA and he really wanted to come to Portland. He is a high character, low maintenance guy who can handle the ball and attack off the dribble as well as being a good shooter at both guard spots. Its gives us more variety on offense. Crabbe is good and so is Whithey. My real question comes in with our rotation where Claver, Barton and Freeland are involved.
What do we do with them now that we have better shooters?? Barton is a kamikaze but showed real promise at the end of last year.
Posted 06/28/2013 8:23 AM
Posted 06/28/2013 8:35 AM
I like portland drafting McCollum. I didn't really understand the Crabbe pick up though. Still need another center if the LA rumors are true I'd try to trade him for Tyson Chandler or Noah.
Posted 06/28/2013 9:46 AM
Posted 06/28/2013 10:11 AM
I understand if someone can feel upset directly after the draft. This was just Cmeeese reaction to the draft.
We got a lot of shooter, I wonder if Blazers try to make a run at Howard?? I think Big Al Jefferson is a target for Olshey with all this outside shooting.
Don't know what kind player Matthews can bring back to us.
Posted 06/28/2013 10:19 AM
Rip rookies at the bottom of the first or early second round are signed for around the veteran minimum or below for second rounders. So saving for free agency does not make sense.
Posted 06/28/2013 10:26 AM
Yeah but the thing is Olshey was talking about gathering assets for this whole time. Wasn't this a good time to collect assets because GMs didn't want to keep their picks???? Olshey should have been able to find talent in the late first round.
Posted 06/28/2013 10:49 AM
Guys like Carlos Boozer and Monta Ellis were second rounders. Guys like Kwame Brown, Hasheem Thabeet and Thomas Robinson were top 10 picks!! Ben Wallace was undrafted and so was Wes Matthews. Draft position is only valuable when sure fire stars are involved. James, Durant, Rose, Irving. Moving 2 second round picks for 1 late first round pick is not guaranteed to get you a better player. Just a more expensive experiment.
If we can get the best out of Whithey and Crabbe then it's a success. We've addressed the issue of depth and now we need to address the issue of defense. Everybody must step up on that end. I say we keep Wes and if by the trade deadline we haven't significantly improved, we can try to move one of our starters and try to get back a lottery pick or a couple bad contracts that we can waive in order to make a move in next summers free agency. For now though, I believe we are just a few small steps away from being genuine contenders. San Antonio, Memphis, OKC and both LA teams are the teams we are chasing now. Golden State is on the rise. But with the turmoil in Denver and the changes elsewhere we look to be back in the playoff hunt. Now it's a matter of Coach Stotts and Lillard along with LMA getting this team to play the way we all think they can. High tempo, efficient scoring and better defense. We on our way past the 1st round for sure. I believe in this team and I believe this will be a watershed year. #GoRipCity!!!
Posted 06/28/2013 11:02 AM
Posted 06/28/2013 11:04 AM
Siccolo, I like Big Al, but too expensive, and we have a younger better version of him in LaMarcus Aldridge. Big Al is a slightly rebounder but that's it. He isn't a good defender, and he blocks about the same amount of shots as LMA. I don't know how a guy puts up 20-10 for consecutive years and doesn't become an all star. Even more underrated than Aldridge.
Posted 06/28/2013 11:32 AM
Good points CP25. I appreciate Olshey grabbing Withey and Crabbe for free, I'm just being greedy and wanting more player I liked. I trust Olshey found great talent
I like the Crabbe and Fernandez comparison DamianLilard! Now Im kinda excited for our second rounders.
@Ripcity- I don't know what else Portland will do. Pekovic is restircted and Min probably matches. Spiltter is garbage imo. Dalembert will anger a lot of fans, but we will get to see Withey and Leonard play and see what they got.
I really want the season to start! CJ MCCOLLUM 2014 ROY!!! Portland Traiblazers first team to have consecutive ROYs!!!! #GoRipCity!!
Posted 06/28/2013 12:01 PM
I think we are extremely lucky to get the talent we got in the draft but I dont know if Mcollumn is the guy who wants to come off the bench. Unless we switch Mathews and him, but thats unlikely. and then we got Crabbe who is another SG and he isn't the guy you want playing the PG. And Whitney was not a good pick not because what we should have done is resign Hickson and make him our starting PF,then we should have picked a backup PF for Hickson, then trade LA for a good defending Center.
Posted 06/28/2013 12:04 PM
I think this may become a great pick for the Blazers. Mature, good character, intelligent, and is a natural athlete. In high school, CJ was a baseball player (he was a pitcher), a football player (he was a quarterback), he is well adjusted, well rounded, and will do well with Lillard. I still think we need a seasoned, big man, and a better bench, but we may have picked up a couple of sleepers. The Trailblazers still need to acquire a couple more pieces to go deep in the playoffs.
Posted 06/28/2013 1:43 PM
From where I'm sitting, the take home message is that nobody is off limits right now. I think Matthews, Batum, and LMA are all in play (packaged with ?) to pick up a starting center. At least now we have a few chips in the game that aren't underperforming/expensive 2nd tier players.
Posted 06/28/2013 3:15 PM
Posted 06/28/2013 3:34 PM
Posted 06/28/2013 3:42 PM
Because Lamarcus would be useless on a Houston team with D12. Harden is primary scorer, D12's might even make him number one, either way LMA is 3rd. Houston can just get someone cheaper for that role.

Really when Davis is putting up 18 and 10 next year with 2 blocks and a steal per game next year are you still not going to be impressed.
McCollum has good handles and looks like he can shoot but he is not a great athlete and his size will be an issue at SG. Also considering him the teams back up PG is problematic considering his passing ability or lack their of
Posted 06/28/2013 8:04 PM
McCollum only has to be the point guard for 10 minutes a game and play shooting guard the rest. Now I'm sure while he's point guard Scott's knows his passing ability needs improvement so he will look for ways for him to score the ball. Stotts knows how to run an offense. He does not have to be a great passer for us. He just needs to drive and kick as a shooting guard and scoring as a point guard. We didn't draft for rookie of the year we drafted for a point guard who can score which happens to be a combo guard so if he improves he will either be traded or mathews or Barton will be. Only way nobody gets traded is if Barton puts on weight to be a 2 and a 3. Then everything will be in balance again. Will Barton has the potential to become a scoring threat and he's already a very good rebounder. All he has to do is build his frame. We have a offensive geinous as a coach and Neil knows that so there was no better pick at 10 then McCollum. Would you rather draft another project center not doesnt have the potential Meyers does or renew maynors contract for a player who's had an acl injury and would cost $2 million more a year. Maynor is a better passer but we need scoring off the bench. And McCollum can provide that for 10 minutes a game as a point guard and another 8 or 9 as a shooting guard. Neil built the team to make the playoffs this year and can do so right now even without a free agent center, but we don't become title contenders tell we get a true center. That's why Neil will most likely take o'neal because he knows we won't win a title this coming season but season Meyers will be that center who becomes a 14 and 10 guys and possibly even 1.5-2 blocks per game. Then we will have a great back up in o'neal. Aldridge only wants out if we don't become title contenders by 2014-2015 season. Neil will make us contenders by then. This team took a huge step in the right direction. Now if a player gets hurt we don't have to go on a 13 game losing streak because we have the depth to fill in the gaps instead of using victor claver.
Sorry for the mini rant just tired of people disliking what the front office is doing.
Posted 06/29/2013 12:26 AM
Crabbe was asked what player he thinks he is most like and he said reggie miller, if he has the basketballs to say that, lets all hope he can back it up... that'd be so nuts could you imagine that?

The clasp/closure of the earring is not aligned properly thus, it does not close properly. When I am wearing the earrings I have to keep touching them to make sure they are still in my ears. I am not sure if the one I got was defective but I find it does not have a strong safety closure.
I ordered two different styles of Rose Gold over Sterling Silver earrings from O. The pair that I initiallly couldn't wait to receive in the mail I liked less than this pair. ( I guess thats how it goes---or otherwise we'd all be wearing the same earrings, right?!?) This pair of earrings resembles something my grandmother would have worn in her youth. A Rose Gold oval with a (miniscule) diamond accent. Very "antiquey"- looking.
I like these and wear them often. My only concern with them is that the clasp bends easily. I have to reshape them at times. But for the price, its worth it.
i would like to order more things but the pictures online are not very good......stops me from ordering more things.......... :-[ for the price of these, they are a great buy. would not hesitate to tell anyone how much they cost..
these earrings are as pictured in the ad. They're very pretty. The "diamond accent" is barely noticeable.
Pretty, small but nice to look at; will be okay for casual wear.
I really liked the shape and design of these very reasonably priced earrings. Rather unusual. Most comfortable to wear. Good, well designed clasp. I was pleased when I opened the package to view them. Have worn them several times and they would go with just about anything. Yes. They are fine. Glad I bought them.
The pair of earrings is quite impressive on and a good value.
these oval locket earrings works well with the necklace both items are great!!!!
Bought these for my daughter for Christmas, as in all gifts I buy before Christmas, I gave to her just the other day when she visited this summer. She loved them, they look antique, a great value for the money.
