Patient Comments: Abdominal Pain - Diagnosis
How was your case of abdominal pain diagnosed?
Comment from: keytolife, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 05
I had pain in my left side. X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans didn't reveal anything. Finally, I went to a gastroenterologist, who listened to me and didn't say it was a psychiatric issue. He did a colonoscopy, which came back normal. I was adamant about my pain, so he decided to look into my ileum, where he found cancer. He said this changed the way he does colonoscopies, especially if a patient has other symptoms like pain and fatigue. Since then he has found others who had cancer in ileum.
Comment from: informed patient, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 22
Pain started right away after a colonoscopy 6 years ago, when a biopsy and polyp snare was taken. I had increasing abdominal pain with lower left lump sticking out but usually reducible. Many physicians either ignored pain symptoms, if the lump didn"t show up (It hides internally, but much less so now after all the years of pain), or offered exploratory surgery, or nothing. Visits to emergency room proved futile, by the time I got there, and a doctor finally came to see me, either intravenous pain killers or time had reduced symptoms. Yes, very frustrating. Even now after years of trying to find answers it feels more like an obstruction in my bowel, which presses on and affects my urinary tract. The pain is excruciating and difficult for me to tolerate to the point that I have to do something, but need it to be safe, the right choice; and most important, a good surgeon.
Comment from: HoodyCrow, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: November 05
Well I have been x-rayed, imaging (of various sorts), had a snake in both ends, poked, proded, blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy. Biopsy showed lower platelet production, blood tests: EBV, and low platelet count, palpation my spleen is huge and my liver is shrinking (which I thought was a good thing, but apparently not). Numerous Dr.s numerous opinions. No plan other than wait and retest and see (even though my spleen and platelets remain the same for the past year). They can't do biopsy on either my liver or my spleen. They have no idea as to the progression of whatever it is I have going on. Apparently gut issues are difficult to diagnose?
Comment from: denise, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 05
I've had very sharp lower abdominal pain that sometimes feels like it's in the pelvis, for about 2 months. A GI doctor did a colonoscopy and said everything looked fine, I didn't need any further testing. He also said the pain was GYN. My GYN says it's not. I've also had a CT of the abdomen that showed some dilatation of the distal ileum.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Both of Wisconsin's U-S senators voted in favor of the two-year federal budget compromise that easily won final approval on Capitol Hill yesterday. The vote was 64-to-36 to send the package to President Obama.
Wisconsin's Ron Johnson was one of just nine Republicans to vote yes, joining Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
Obama called the budget quote, "a good first step away from the short-sighted, crisis-driven decision-making that has only served to act as a drag on our economy."
House Budget chairman Paul Ryan of Janesville and his Senate counterpart Patty Murray hammered out the deal. It restores $45-billion in automatic federal spending cuts ordered last March in popular areas like defense. The reductions will be paid for with other spending cuts and fee increases. The package also includes $23-billion in deficit reductions over a 10-year period -- something the bill's opponents said may never happen.
All 36 no votes came from Republicans. Johnson said he wished the automatic sequester cuts would have stayed in effect, but he said it's important to stop the threat of future government shutdowns. Baldwin said the deal is not perfect -- but it does protect investments in research, innovation, and education.

What do drugs, alcohol, unprotected sex, tattoos, and body piercings have in common? They're all things your parents might lecture you about avoiding, but there's another connection: They can all lead to a liver condition called hepatitis.
The liver is one of the body's powerhouses. It helps process nutrients and metabolizes medication. The liver also helps clear the body of toxic waste products.
The word hepatitis means an inflammation of the liver. It can be caused by one of many things — including a bacterial infection, liver injury caused by a toxin (poison), and even an attack on the liver by the body's own immune system. However, the condition is usually caused by a virus. The three most common hepatitis viruses are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Two other types of hepatitis virus, D and E, are rare in the United States.
Some hepatitis viruses can mutate. That can make them hard for for the body to fight because they change over time. In some cases, hepatitis B or C can destroy the liver. The patient then will need a liver transplant to survive, which is not always available or successful.
The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the feces (poop) of infected individuals. People usually get hepatitis A by eating food or drinking water that's been contaminated with feces. As disgusting as that sounds though, hepatitis A is actually considered less destructive than some other hepatitis viruses.
Unlike some other hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A rarely leads to permanent liver damage. Within a few weeks, the symptoms will have gone away on their own and the virus will no longer be in your system. Once someone has recovered from a hepatitis A infection, that person has immunity to the virus, meaning he or she will probably never get it again. People are also protected against hepatitis A if they've been vaccinated for it.
Hepatitis B is a more serious infection. It may lead to a condition called cirrhosis (permanent scarring of the liver) or liver cancer, both of which cause severe illness and even death. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids.
In the United States, the most common way people get infected with HBV is through unprotected sex with a person who has the disease. People who share needles also are at risk of becoming infected because it's likely that the needles they use will not have been sterilized.
As yet, there's no effective cure for hepatitis B. In most cases, teens who get hepatitis B will recover from the disease and may develop a natural immunity to future hepatitis B infections. But some people will have the condition forever. Medications can help some people with hepatitis B get rid of the virus.
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Hepatitis C is the most serious type of hepatitis. It's now one of the most common reasons for liver transplants in adults. Every year, thousands of people in the United States die from HCV. And there's no cure and no vaccine.
An estimated 4.1 million Americans are currently infected with the virus. The most common way people become infected is through sharing drug paraphernalia such as needles and straws. People also get hepatitis C after having unprotected sex with an infected partner. Before 1990, many people got it through blood transfusions, but better blood screening and handling procedures now mean that this rarely happens. Sometimes mothers with hepatitis C pass the virus along to their babies when they're born.
The medications currently used to treat hepatitis C are effective in controlling the disease in some people. However, hepatitis C treatments are not very easy to take, especially because some require frequent injections.
Hepatitis infection causes inflammation of the liver, which means that the liver becomes swollen and damaged and begins losing its ability to function. People with hepatitis often get symptoms similar to those caused by other virus infections, such as weakness, tiredness, and nausea. Because the symptoms of hepatitis are similar to other conditions, it's easy for someone who has it to confuse it with another illness.
In addition, people with hepatitis A may not show any symptoms, so the infection can go undiagnosed. People with hepatitis B or C infection also may not show symptoms right away, but can develop health problems from the infection many years later. Even when infected people don't have any symptoms, they can still pass the disease on to others.
Symptoms of hepatitis include:
The incubation period (how long it takes between the time someone becomes infected and symptoms first appear) for hepatitis varies depending on the type a person has. Somebody may not feel any different than before, or may notice these symptoms anywhere from 15 days to 4 months after getting the disease, depending on the type of hepatitis.
A blood test is usually needed to determine if a person has hepatitis.
Doctors don't prescribe medications to treat hepatitis A; they usually recommend resting until any fever and jaundice are gone and the person's appetite has returned to normal. It is also important to stay well hydrated by drinking lots of fluids.
Hepatitis B and C can sometimes be treated with medications, although some forms of medication used to treat hepatitis C are only approved for use in adults. Although treatments for hepatitis B and C are becoming more effective, a cure cannot be guaranteed.
Vaccines can protect people against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Today, all kids in the United States are routinely vaccinated against hepatitis B at birth and against hepatitis A when they're between 1 and 2 years old.
Doctors recommend that the hepatitis A vaccine be given to anyone who wants to be immunized against the condition. It's important for people who travel to parts of the world where sanitation isn't very good to be immunized.
If someone has been recently exposed to hepatitis A or B, a doctor may recommend a shot of immune globulin containing antibodies against the virus. This can help prevent the person from coming down with the disease.
In addition to receiving vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, here's how to protect yourself against hepatitis virus infection:
Hepatitis infection can be serious, but knowing what puts you at risk can help protect you.

LOST Marathon, Milepost 12: Get a Klugh
- Monday, January 18, 2010
Note: This blog is counting down to the premiere of LOST's final season on Feb. 2 by spending the month leading up to it racing through every one of the previous 103 episodes. We're looking specifically at Christian/religious themes, other important or interesting concepts, literary references, and the theory that it's largely been about a game in which someone has won, and someone has... LOST. To follow us from the start, click here.
"Every detail, no matter how minute or seemingly unimportant, must be recorded." -- Pierre Chang as Dr. Marv Wickmund.
[Deep breath]... Ahhhhhhh... Just when I was getting a little worn down on all the details, wondering if they really mattered, along comes Doc Chang to renew my faith and get me back on track. Now all that needs to be asked as we come to the end of Season Two is:
"Here's the question, Desmondo: do you have the courage to take your finger out of the dam, and blow the whole thing up instead?" -- Kelvin.
Let's find out.
LOST Season Two, Disc Six: Get a Klugh
Episodes: 2.21 "?" (Eko-centric); 2.22 THREE MINUTES (Michael-centric); 2.23/24 LIVE TOGETHER, DIE ALONE PARTS 1 and 2 (Desmond-centric)
Things That Stuck Out
Ana appears to Eko in a dream, asking what he's building and why, and who told him to build it. He sees her start bleeding, and she tells him he needs to help John. Cut to Eko inside the hatch, where sitting at the computer is Yemi, in his priestly wardrobe. Eko speaks to him, Yemi speaks back. Eko asks forgiveness but is shushed. Yemi doesn't want to hear it, wants to tell Eko that work being done "in this place" is more important than anything. Locke has "LOST his way." Eko must make him take him to "the question mark" by any means necessary, and he should bring the axe.
Booooooo! Michael stumbles out of the hatch and spews his filthy story about how Henry escaped and he was sleeping and heard shots and Henry shot him and blah blah blah. But Libby's still got a tiny bit of life in her. She's coughing up blood. Will she be able to pin it on Michael?
When Eko keeps going on about "the question mark," John finally hands over his drawing of the blast door map, in which a "?" is surrounded by six other circles in the very center of an octagon.
Locke is all of a sudden refering to the Swan as "not my hatch." Makes it clear something's changed (again) with him. He's being pouty again too. Probably because Ben got away before he could tell him how special he is. But he's also got guilt for not having told Jack that Henry had attacked Ana-Lucia previously. Eko uses this guilt, saying Ana wants them to go to the question mark. Which, by his dream, is true.
Libby's bleeding has stopped, which isn't good. Jack doesn't have what he needs to ease her pain, so he asks for the heroin Sawyer has stashed away. He says Kate is going with him no matter what Sawyer says. It forces Sawyer to either show where his stash (including the guns) are concealed, or let Libby suffer. Hard to tell from her face whether Kate admires this strategy, or resents it.
Yemi appears to Eko again, again telling him to be quiet (he also knows who John is). Yemi climbs the cliff where the Beechcraft was. Eko follows. When Eko reaches the top, Yemi is in a wheelchair, saying, "Wake up, John." Turns out this was Locke's dream, and in the dream, Locke was Eko. Eko guesses that there was a priest in Locke's dream. We get a similar scene from one we know well. Locke, something wrong with his leg, can't scale the cliff, so his traveling companion does it.
From the top of the cliff, Eko sees the pattern of a question mark on the ground below him. He finds that the ground there has been salted, so that nothing will grow over the landmark. Sure enough, poking the ground with the axe, Eko finds another hatch (our 4th to date (Swan, Arrow, Staff, now Pearl)). This one has external locks and handles, unlike the Swan. An open octagon goes straight down into the earth. The Pearl is full of monitors, on one of which they see Jack walk by! This must be the station from which all the others are observed and recorded... and how the Others have probably been following our group's every move. There's even a computer terminal, possibly the place from which they pretended to be Walt contacting Michael (they could see if he was near the Swan computer). Jack types in the command to print the log of activities. The log has many different numbers, all of which start with 416, and all of which say "accepted." Eko finds empty journals, and Locke finds a working mail tube that goes.... where? He puts his blast door drawing in, and it gets sucked up.

Arc Lamp in the Bedroom?
My boyfriend decided to redecorate our bedroom and I was so excited that I could finally put my interior design knowledge into practical use. However, he left out one bit of information — he wanted to make his own decisions on the selections of new furniture, bedding, lighting, etc. I think he really wanted to make me proud and show me that he can also put together a well designed space. I am pretty impressed with the progress so far, but am still contemplating if an arc lamp belongs in the bedroom and in particular, over the bed.
My initial concerns for a lamp hanging over the bed is bumping my head and knocking it over. I was excited to have my interior designer friend over the other night and showed him our in-progress bedroom. He lives by the philosophies of feng shui, so you can guess what he said. The arc light has been in our bedroom for a week now and it is starting to grow on me. I am not sure if I like it because I am used to it or because it is the best lighting solution for my side of the bed.
I would love to get input from a few fresh eyes. Thanks for your help!

my question is: Do you really need BOTH?
I personally like the idea of a lamp hanging above the bed on 2 conditions: 1) dimmer 2) bottom component to the shade so as not to stare at bulb from underneath
I think beds look best when flanked by either:
2 matching nighstands and 2 mismatched lamps or
2 matching lamps on 2 mismatched nighstands.
Arc lamps are definitely cool but im not really feeling it in this space. Also, you should install a long curtain rod and curtains to.disguise that small window.
Hmmm...I think I'm with you on this one. Arc lighting is more social, and I think you want your bedroom to feel more intimate. And, um, I think it would interfere with wild sex, lol.
If your boyfriend loves it, then you might have to let it live...but if you can think of another place it looks better, he might be open to removing it.
Best luck!
I personally am not a fan. I like arc lamps over couches, though.
It might also get in the way of sexy time.
I like the arc lamp, but it looks strange with the other lamp on the nightstand. I would keep the arc lamp and get rid of the bedside lamp.
I have this lamp (from CB2) and it has the ability to she shortened and raised a bit. If you did this and placed the foot of the lamp in the center behind your bed you might still have the look but then maybe you wouldn't bump it? I'm not sure, mine is over the couch (and yes, I do hit my head on it once in awhile- the price you pay for style). Also, I agree that you should get rid of the side table lamp. OR get another for the other side and go totally symmetrical with the arc lamp in between.
I've never had that sort of lamp. Does it swivel out of the way easily? It's fine if so. Otherwise it could get ...awkward at certain times.
I'd live with it a while, and see if it gets on your nerves. As far as feng shui, I laughed a little looking at the picture: nightstands and lights are singles, window at the head of the bed... you were on a roll before the lamp was cutting across the bed, so what's one more thing? Maybe you could store a bunch of junk under the mattress? :P
Arc lamps are so overdone.
While it's fine over the corner of a sectional sofa, it doesn't belong next to a dining table as a replacement for a chandelier, nor does it belong next to a bed - as it just gets in the way of things.
(Are you going to hang from the thing while you and the BF do the deed?)
sturgeongeneral, meow but agree
First: Your boyfriend did a great job. His enthusiasm and engagement should be applauded methinks. And your collaborative spirit too.
In my opinion, I'd take @rlmesq's idea about the long curtain rod to hang or swag above the bed to soften that wall (unless you have a fabric thing). Also, I think two matching pendant lights dropping from the ceiling like the funky bedroom here http://www.timberlakelighting.com/news/tag/pendant-lighting/
you've inspired me to fix my own bedroom lighting issue too. Thanks!
...would look cool. sorry for the unfinished sentence above!
If it was alone then ok but with the table lamp it looks off balance.
Agree with others - of more serious concern are those blinds...
I really don't think you should have the arc light over the bed, for several reasons.
1. The heat from the lamp would disturb sleep and reading.
2. I imagine you're staring up at a light bulb.
3. In bed, you can bump your head.
4. In the room you're showing, the lamp seems to be precluding one of you from having a nightstand, which seems uncomfortable to me.
That said, it does look cool and unusual and your boyfriend clearly has some design sense in that respect.
Perhaps your boyfriend would be amenable to placing this very cool arc lamp elsewhere. It does add pizzazz.
My hope for you is that you are able to resolve this without too much discussion; at my house (both of us are stubborn) a small issue like this would cause a rift.
it isn't working for me, either, especially with the table lamp.
A) the space is too small for an arc lamp.
B) I would be concern facing the light from the lamp when lying down in bed - even with 40W or soft light bulb.
C) Thee On/Off switch on the arc lamp should be easily accessible when you are in bed.
Other than that, the room looks good so far. keep it up.
I do like the lamp but not here. I agree with some other people that it looks off balance with the other lamp and nightstand, and I think a bed is a more annoying place to worry about hitting your head on a lamp than, say, a couch (I'm thinking middle of the night potty break, sexy time, etc). I'd move it to another room and go for a pair of nightstand lamps (and I guess another nightstand). I also think the lamp hanging in that position is drawing more attention to the vertical blind thing and putting the focal point on the room at a place where there's nothing specifically pretty to focus on.
Bravo to you, though, you must have a lot of patience. I'd be furious if my husband decided he was going to fully design a room and make all the decisions and it wouldn't be a joint venture. Sweet and everything, but I'd be annoyed :)
I have this lamp: http://www.amazon.com/Adesso-Spheres-Lamp-Antique-Bronze/dp/B000PRPT9U
hanging above my bed in much the same position as the one you have there. I LOVE it - it's so good for reading, and it actually doesn't get in the way at all (the three prongs move separately, so I only have one over the bed itself.)
What I actually don't like is the lamp on the nightstand - I think it unbalances the look.
First, to those who state that arc lamps are "overdone", plese remember that everyone has different taste.
I happen to think the arc light is great in that space but agree with some of the other comments about it potentially getting in the way of sexy time. I also think the suggstion of getting some kind of under mounted shade so you arent staring up into the light bulb was brilliant.
Maybe just live with it a while, but in the end, go with your gut.
I love that he is trying to put his ideas for the bedroom. But I think he might be a little off on this one. Like one reader suggested you do need to put up some curtains to make the window look bigger. Then I would get another nightstand for the other side. If you go with a different style of nightstand, please make sure that they are the same height. But if he is going for a feng shui look it should be the same on each side. For the lighting I would suggest the following: pendant lights above the nightstand or the same lamp on the other side or you could get two wall lights w/swings arms. That way you can control how much light you want. If he wants to have a light above the bed, I would suggest getting a chandelier. There are so many modern ones out that would look great with your other furniture. Lastly, be sure to get a dimmer for which ever lighting you choose. When you have two people sharing the same space, not everyone wants to be distracted by a light when they are trying to sleep.
Good luck!
Arc lamp over the bed...clearly no cowgirls in your bedroom.
It doesn't work for me because of the asymmetry but if you like it, then that's what you should have.
Just say no!
I really like the lamp, and I even like it over the bed!
My only 2 concerns are these:
1. It looks a bit oversized for this small space
2. It might limit your options for your ... um... "intimate moments"
Personally I'd move it to the living room, but I really do love the lamp!
Save an arc lamp, ride a cowboy!
I'm thinking that the lamp is too large for that bedroom. Perhaps over a reading nook in the bedroom, but then a little smaller. I'm not loving it in this photo, though.
I used to have my arc lamp in the bedroom, it was perfect for reading. Mine swivels so it was easily moved out of the way. It's now in the living room because we moved and the ceilings are too low for it in the bedroom.
Yikes - I can't think of anything worse than that!!
Move the arc light back to the living room, or maybe over the dining room table.
Wouldn't it scare you when you wake up?!
I have to say the idea sounded better then it looks.
For all the reasons previously listed, move the lamp to a more appropriate location.
I think it's strange. Perhaps you can re purpose for the living room?
Nope. Not working in the bedroom-at least not above the bed. Perhaps in a corner over a chair in a reading nook instead.
Not personally feeling it, but it's not my room to live in.
Wow, all the comments about a lamp (which looks like it's 2-3 feet over the head of the bed) getting in the way of sex makes me curious about what some people are doing there!!! (Over the middle of the bed, sure...)
Anyhow, aesthetically, I'm a fan of two nightstands and two lamps: both for negotiating the bedroom (if you need to get up in the night) and for reading. A centrally placed light might be ok for reading if you both keep the same schedule, but you are still lacking the night stand. So one of you is deprived of a place for a glass of water, tissues, alarm clock, reading glasses, or any other personal night-time belongings.
That is more of an issue to me than the arc lamp per se.
I like the look, but I'd vote no simply because of practicality reasons. Try to talk him into a slim nightstand there instead, and then he can pick out a lamp for it...it doesn't need to be the same as on the other side, but something that coordinates fairly well.
I have that lamp from CB2 and as a fellow interior designer...I love it. I do think it belongs in a living space though. I have mine next to my long mid century sofa. Since the switch is at the bottom of the lamp I would think it'd be difficult to use it as a nightlight or reading light. I think the asymmetry is fine but the functionality just isn't there. I would consider getting another bedside lamp and finding a drum shade pendant to hang over your bed if you like the romantic aspect of the lamp hanging above.
To the people who are concerned with it getting in the way of sex that's just craziness. It's not hanging in the middle of the bed. :) Hope this helps.
This would not work in my bedroom, but I think it looks fab in your's. Keep it there!
not cool.
Love it. I agree that the bedside lamp needs to be rethought as it competes. Get a mirrored light bulb and then you won't have to worry about the light burning your retinas if you inadvertently look up. :)
You may have better luck finding the light bulb if you search it is a half chrome light bulb. :)
I think it has a bit of a Gestapo feel to it - like you're being examined while resting in your bed.
Perhaps you have a chair the nook of your room that the arc lamp could go over?
I do have to say, it looks interesting and unexpected.
I like it. As long as you both sleep and wake on the same schedule. The overhead bit is total sharing.
You can convert most any lamp with metal parts to a touch sensitive lamp. Very useful in the middle of the night when something happens that you need to get up fast for. Like a yowling cat, car crash in the front yard, you get the idea.
I agree with the consensus about the vertical blinds. You want a bedroom that's soft and seductive, and I don't know if those emit those vibes. The curtains that you get don't have to be feminine, they could be just a soft material in a color that compliments one of the pillow shades or even the comforter. If you opt to keep the arc lamp, I'd see if I can raise it up higher, and possibly get a softer bulb or a different shade for it. I also would change the shade or the bulb on that lamp that is sitting on the nightstand also. Some artwork on the walls might be nice, like a picture of you and your bf. But if it were my room, I'd ditch the arc lamp and try to get a floor lamp because it makes that other side of the room look dark. That way, you have the height that you want, and you won't have to worry about hitting your head or anything.
I do think that if your boyfriend really likes it & is proud of what he has done, you do too - be delighted he is so keen on decor & the like.
Agree re vertical blinds, mind -
Dear Fellow AT Readers
I'm the boy friend - I had no idea my attempt at redorating would make it on AT. I appreciate all the feed back. The arc light is really great when laying in bed talking - dimmed down of course or watching a movie. I was just stepping out of my comfort zone. I confess I don't have a Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy.
Antony - I think it looks like it'll be nice when you're done!
Apart from the sexy time issue, I like the lamp, but I'd say if you keep the arc lamp you need to ditch the other lamp.
I'd be very worried about bumping into it at night...not very practical for the space. Two end tables with their own lights or two sconces on would have looked much much better.
My husband and I both like to read in bed so we need good practial lights. As he usually reads longer we also need lights that don't bother the other one. That means two bedsidelamps that can be adjusted.
This arc lamp seems highly unpractical fto me and i imagine it shines right in your eyes when you turn it on. At some point you'll also probably bump your head, either while getting up in the dark or while doing other "bed activities".
It works, but only if you go symmetrical with the night stands (both sides with or both sides without) and lose the bedside lamp.
Also, if you hung a curtain wall directly behind the bed (floor to ceiling, wall to wall) instead of the vertical blinds, it would soften things a bit while emphasizing the geometric line of arc lamp.
If you don't have an overhead ceiling light, I don't see anything wrong with adding general light (for when you need to do tasks there in the evening) that way, as long as it's not cramping your space or flow.
But yes, a bedside table light or wall sconce is usually better to read by.
You obviously wouldn't be using the Arc light that way.
I don't think there's anything wrong with Arc lights, as long as you have the space for them. They're a great way of adding overhead pendant-type light without having to attach it to your ceiling.
They're a often great way to tie a room or a specific area together.
Castiglioni rocks.
And I don't think your bedroom looks bad with the arc light there.
I don't think it's ugly, just impractical in that small a room.
I cannot believe that patrick(the other one) did not chime in on this thread....P2 where are you???
Ugh . . . not for the bedroom.

Total SA Stock Upgraded (TOT)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- TOT, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 0.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 11.3%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.47, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.75 is weak.
- TOTAL SA has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TOTAL SA increased its bottom line by earning $7.05 versus $6.27 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 6.5% in earnings ($6.60 versus $7.05).

Your dog will love these chews! Beef or Achilles tendons are wonderful all natural chews. Virtually odor free, these tendons range in size from 6-12". A great alternative to a bully stick.
- ok tendon Review by El Perez
Your Rating
I actually use this for other purposes besides feeding it to dogs. But the only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 star rating was its smell. Ive seen others that are the same but do not have a smell at all. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- Stinky! Review by doggy mama
Your Rating
My dogs love these as an alternative to their bully sticks and Purina Busy Chewnola's, plus they don't get sick to their stomach after eating them. However, they are extremely thin and smelly, and they finish them in 5-10 minutes. Also,I DON'T feel that they are a good value for the money that I paid. (Posted on 3/10/11)
- PERFECT CHEW Review by lambchops
Your Rating
The consistency of these tendons is perfect. They are not soft enought to be swallowed in a few bites but durable enough to take 15 minutes to finish. There is no dribble while chewing so in house use is not a problem. The perfect for my two pups! (Posted on 3/10/11)

An idle mind does my bidding
Pestilence commands you: Read
Not much doing right now. Nor are we likely to see much action before Wednesday morning, due to draft picks at stake for signing free agents.
I do keep hearing the Cubs are close to signing Nomar, and are talking semi-seriously with Todd Walker.
In fact, its so quiet this weekend, I have resorted to reading the official Cubs website for news.
Jason DuBois is playing well in Mexico. He has a .362 OBP, and a .522 SLG. In 138 at-bats, he has 9 dingers, 22 RBI, 3 SB, and 18 bases on balls. However, it looks like DuBois is swinging away, with little regard for contact. He has 52 strikeouts in 156 PA, thats 1 in 3 plate appearances. His average is also .254.
Looks like Jason is going to need to work on making contact if he wants any playing time under Dusty next year.
Also, in regards to the Cubs closer connundrum, Will Ohman is playing for the same Mexican League team, the Mazatlan Deer, as DuBois. Ohman has 14 saves in 17 innings, with 27 strikeouts (1.58 K/ip, 14.3 k/9ip). He has walked 7, allowed 9 hits, and 2 earned runs. His WHIP is .941, and he has an ERA of 1.06.
Now, the Mexican League isn't the Major Leagues, but I'm guessing the Cubs will give Ohman a good look in Spring Training.
uhhh... Pesti! Didn't you get the memo last year? Dusty thinks bat control is a waste of his overflowing mental capacity. Dubois would work just fine as long as he never took a walk and popped a homer ever four or five games he gets into.

Deju vu all over again
Leila Crayton of Blaine was arrested August 19 on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. At the time of her arrest Crayton, 20, was waiting to begin a 16-month jail sentence later this month for an earlier conviction on the same offense.
"She's in custody now, and we'll hold her awaiting trial on the second charge instead of letting her begin her jail term," said Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo, who did not have details of her earlier arrest and conviction.
The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office Regional Drug Task Force assisted by the Washington State Patrol executed the search warrant that led to Crayton's arrest at 7 a.m. last Friday in the 4300 block of West Road, just outside the Blaine city limits.
The lab site was in a 30-foot, fifth-wheel trailer, that was parked on private property with other occupied trailers. The lab appeared to have been in operation for several months as a substantial amount of waste was removed from the site by the Washington State Department of Ecology, after having been inventoried by sheriff's deputies and the Washington State Patrol.
According to Bill Angel, an environmental health specialist with the Whatcom County Health Department, this is only the third meth lab bust in the county this year. "The last one was at the Belair Trailer Court at 1640 Peace Portal Drive last February," Angel said.
In 2003, 23 labs were found in Whatcom County, dropping to 17 in 2004. "That's good news all right," Elfo said, "but in part it has to do with the drop in price of meth manufactured in Mexico. When they use this imported stuff then we don't have the environmental damage, the fires and so on that happen with labs, but other problems are still with us."

Small children sit in a half-circle around Quentin Sasser, listening intently. He bends forward and starts the lesson with an important question.
"How does an elephant's trunk move?" Sasser asks.

The Youth on Course program features beginning, intermediate and advanced classes.
The program also offers junior leagues, parent/junior scrambles and individual tournaments.

One boy, Conner, stands up and puts his arm up to his nose, swinging it back and forth.
"That's right," Sasser adds. "It moves side to side."
He isn't teaching biology at the Hogle Zoo. Sasser is a golf instructor for the Chevron Youth on Course Golf and Life Skills Program, a curriculum aimed at building students' golf and life skills. This particular lesson was designed to help improve their chipping.
"It's important to make it fun — to make sure they're engaged," Sasser said, "but we also want to make it challenging. We want to treat it like they're in a classroom. Their parents paid a reasonable amount to get them here, and we want to do all we can to make sure they learn."
The camp costs $50 because Chevron subsidizes the expense, while some of the kids are able to attend for free thanks to a scholarship offered by the company.
"Our camps remain accessible for everybody," golf pro and youth instructor Stacey Camacho said. "Chevron does a great job for us to help keep these programs in our community."
The Youth on Course activities are scheduled throughout the summer, covering all Salt Lake courses including Bonneville, Forest Dale, Glendale, Mountain Dell, Nibley Park, Rose Park and Wingpointe. The program also grants the students a Youth on Course card that allows for half-price buckets at all courses and $2 course fees at Jordan River.
Camacho said the majority of the children are returning students. He is thankful for the chance to give back to the sport he loves.
"It means the world to us," Camacho said. "Being where we are now is because someone took the time to help us. It's unbelievable to have the opportunity to be that person for these kids."
Sasser, who didn't take up golf until he was in his 30s, had to learn on his own. He caddied at local events and discovered the game little by little.
"Everything I learned I had to dig out of the dirt," Sasser said. "These kids have a great opportunity here. The knowledge that we are offering to them is unlimited and comes from years of experience."

Costco joins growing crowd with special dividend
The big discount retailer will pay shareholders $7 a share in a special dividend, one of a host of companies moving to save shareholders millions on taxes if tax rates jump next year.
The oft-cited reason that Costco Wholesale (COST) announced a special $7-a-share dividend Wednesday is that it's trying to get ahead of the fiscal cliff.
The mix of tax increases and federal spending cuts would boost tax rates on dividends from 15% now to as much as 43.4% after Jan. 1 unless Congress steps in. So companies are paying out now to save their shareholders a lot of money.
The special dividend is payable Dec. 18 to shareholders of record on Dec. 10. It comes on top of a regular dividend of 27.5 cents a share to be paid at the end of the week.
Wall Street was delighted at the news, and investors hoping to cash in pushed the shares to $102.58 Wednesday afternoon, up $6.07, not far from its all-time closing high of $102.75, set on Sept. 13. Costco was rising in after-hours trading as well.
Costco was the top performer in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) and second best among Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) stocks after Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), which jumped $7.91 to $36.86.
Another reason for the stock's gain. The company said sales for the four weeks ended on Nov. 25 reached $7.51 billion, up 9% from a year ago.
Costco shares have risen more than 22% this year, compared with 11.2% for the S&P 500 and 15.6% for the Nasdaq-100.
Costco is joining a growing list of companies announcing special dividends to shareholders that will limit the tax bite.
The list includes liquor-producer Brown-Forman (BF.B), casino operators Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Ethan Allen Interiors (ETH), department-store operator Dillard's (DDS). But market research firm Markit says some 100 companies have announced special cash dividends to get ahead of the possible tax increases.
Costco's special dividend will cost the company some $3 billion. That would theoretically use up most of its cash and short-term investments, which totaled $4.8 billion at the end of the fiscal-fourth quarter. Not to worry. The company is selling $3.5 billion in notes to finance the dividend. The notes will mature in three, five and seven years.
Special dividends aren't being made to beat the tax man, however. In some cases, they seem to benefit the top management more than anyone else.
In fact, says Markit, the key variable in predicting if a special dividend will be declared appears to be insider ownership. Of 74 companies examined by Markit, an average of 30% of the shares were owned by insiders.
The poster child for this is Sheldon Abelson, chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands, which declared a special dividend of $2.75. Abelson, his wife Miriam and two family trusts own 51.5% of the company. They will receive nearly $1.2 billion of the payout.
The tax savings: Perhaps as much as $330 million. Not exactly chump change.
Wynn Resorts founder Steve Wynn and his former wife Elaine also will save a lot of money. The casino company declared a $7.50 special dividend in October. That means $148.3 million paid out to the former couple. (He owns 10% of the company; she owns 9.7% and, despite the divorce, is also a director.)
Getting the cash now will save them a total of $42.1 million.
Which brings us back to Costco. True, former CEO and co-founder Jim Sinegal will receive $16.5 million from the dividend (and save $4.7 million in taxes by getting it now), and CEO Craig Jelinek will receive $3.2 million and save $918,000.
But company insiders own only 1.2% of the shares. Institutions own 76.5% of the stock. They include the Capital World Investors, Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Management and Research and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft (MSFT), is a Costco director. His 31,840 shares will realize $222,880, he will save as much as $63,300. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
There are plenty of companies that could declare special dividends. The biggest is Apple (AAPL), down $1.84 to $582.94 on Wednesday. The iPod, iPhone and iPad maker is sitting on $121 billion in cash and short-term securities as of Sept. 29. That's up nearly $40 billion from a year earlier and up 395% from $24.5 billion at the end of its 2007 fiscal year.

I just bought this Wet/Dry Vac to help us clean up the shop area. I know other reviewers mentioned the suction, but it really is strong. It is much stronger than I had anticipated. I like the variety of attachments and I like that the hose "locks" in to the base. The lid is very easy to take off and put on. Overall, this is a fantastic Wet/Dry vac. I like it so much, I am going to buy one for home.

Got it for a great deal at sears. Haven't purchased a new shop vacuum in nearly 20 years as my old shop vacuum from sears was still going strong. Needless to say I was literally BLOWN AWAY when I turned it on to blast out the vents in my new house. This is the most powerful shop Vacuum I have ever used and will continue to purchase Sears shop Vacuums!!!

Love this machine, use it all over and works like a charm. Picks up scraps dust paper so convenient.

Craftsman has the best shop vac around.
Granbury, TX
via sears.com
This shop-vac is easy to transport and securely stores all attachments. It has lots of power and is not as noisy as some previous models. It is an excellent value as well.
via sears.com
This is an upgrade from my 6 gallon shop vac. The shop vac is very powerful and can handle more than my 6 gallon. I use the blower to clean my carpet out and I am done within seconds.

This shopvac is very powerful both derections. I put the top on with the blower facing the same way as the intake what a mistake. The dirt blew away from me all the way down the other end of the house. WHAT A MESS THAT MADE !!!!

Outstanding wet/Dry Vac, great cost and has awesome suction power.
Aston, PA
via sears.com
I have a larger Craftsman vac but it is very awkward to carry up and down stairs and through hallways. I wanted something easily carried but I still wanted the power of a larger vac. For me, this vac has fit the bill. Its handle and storage features make it very portable but it is still very powerful. A side benefit that I didn't expect is that it's also quieter than my other vacs (both the larger Craftsman and my wall-mounted Craftsman..
Corvallis, OR
via sears.com
This is one of the better wet/dry vacuums. It has a large hose with a powerful suction. It can pickup small chunks of wood and anything else that will fit in the hose. I used it to clean up drywall and popcorn ceiling and it did not blow out dust. I had the normal filter but also ordered the bag type filter that fit in the tub. After the drywall I decided to clean out the fire place (end of summer no hot ashes!) and no soot came out the back and suction was still strong afterwards. Easy plug to drain liquids too.

Have a beautiful and safe day my loves.

Recent Town Centre Reserve Reviews
Beautiful house, Brilliant Location
We have rented several villas in various the Orlando area over the last 10 years and whilst they were all nice, this one was by far the best. Its location is fantastic for the theme parks, restaurants and shopping. Within 15 minutes of leaving Disney, you are back home in a lovely quiet street, overlooking a tranquil lake filled with an abundance of birds, and other wildlife. The house itself was fabulous, immaculately clean and very spacious, with the balcony from the master bedroom an added bonus. I can't recommend this house highly enough to anyone visiting the Orlando area, and I hope that I will holiday here again in the future.
Great accommodation
This was our first visit to America and we will definately be coming back. The condo was exactly as described, clean, very well equipt and in a great location with only a short drive to all the parks. The owners were really helpful and the information provided prior to arriving was just what we needed. I would highly recommend this property to future visitors.
Home Away From Home
This was our second time staying and Wendie and Kim's property. We can't say enough good things about it. We like all of the updates they've made and all of the amenities. The pool is so relaxing after a day at the parks. We actually took a couple of days off from the parks and just hung out on the patio and enjoyed the pool. I don't think you could ask for more in a vacation home. We truly feel like this our home away from home. We are looking forward to our next trip and will stay here again.

Summer Jazz 87 – Summer Bucks 71: Giannis … then everyone else
Category: Summer League
It was almost alarming how bad the Summer Milwaukee Bucks looked Monday night in an 87-71 loss to the Summer Utah Jazz. They couldn't hit a jump shot. They couldn't finish at the rim. They had no answer for raw second year center Rudy Gobert, who sealed off defenders and finished in the paint on offense and rejected shot after shot on defense. It was not a pleasant visual experience. It seemed troubling.
But it's the Summer Milwaukee Bucks. This isn't the Milwaukee Bucks. This team doesn't even bare a passable resemblance to the team that will be taking the court this coming October. Jordan Taylor's struggle is not a problem the actual Bucks need concern themselves with. An overmatched Ben Brust is no cause for concern.
We know very little more about the actual Bucks today than we did yesterday.
But the Jazz can probably feel a bit more optimistic. With all the caution necessary since this is Summer League, there seemed to be at least moderate reason for the Jazz to feel good, as Gobert (13 points, nine rebounds, five blocks) and first round pick Rodney Hood (29 points, 7-10 3FG) looked like real live prospects. Again, they were playing against the B-ist of B teams, but it's always fun to see players on the team you like play well. So hooray for the Jazz and boo for the Bucks.
This is an especially "boo for the Bucks" night, as number two pick Jabari Parker had his worst game of the young summer thus far. He finished with 14 points on 6-14 FG, which doesn't seem all that bad, but time after time he took long jump shots or struggled to get a clean look in the paint. He was able to drive by the likes of Erik Murphy a time or two, but in general his moves in the paint that once got him open layups at Duke were swallowed up by the mammoth Gobert or a number of other Jazz defenders.
On a night where Andrew Wiggins wowed the crowd and a couple days after Dante Exum's thrilling debut, we've still yet to see the best of Parker. Or at least what we hoped for would be the best. But … we're three games into Las Vegas Summer League, so who the hell really cares?
While Parker wasn't stellar, Giannis Antetokounmpo was far more interesting. He was playing point guard for the majority of his time on the court, so the ball was in his hands often. And the influx of possessions didn't seem to make him weary of doing something with them. It seemed like every time he caught the ball, in the first half especially, his plan was to attack the basket. And he did so in a number of different ways.
On his very first touch, he caught the ball on the perimeter and took a dribble and posted up his smaller defender. He gave him a dribble or two, got into the paint, did a spin/drop-step type move and finished uncontested at the rim with a finger roll. After that he caught on the perimeter and drove hard to the hoop on at least three or four occasions early on and either was met by Gobert at the rim. A couple times, Gobert got the best of him with a block. But once, Giannis finished over him with a two-hand slam. It was interesting to see how often he was able to get by his man on the perimeter and get to the next level. In the second quarter, he caught the ball with a smaller Trey Burke on him and promptly posted up the tiny point guard, took him to the elbow and hit a simple jump shot, exploiting his size advantage.
Later in the game (third or fourth quarter, I can't remember specifically), the ball was swung to him on the perimeter. He decisively took a dribble, then spun towards the hoop, finished with a finger roll and drew the foul. It wasn't always so smooth for him, as he finished with four turnovers and made only 6-16 FG on his way to his 15 points, but once again, we saw progress from Giannis.
As for the rest of the relevant roster players?
Nate Wolters did nothing of note and Johnny O'Bryant was badly out-classed by Gobert. While Gobert has a significant height advantage, O'Bryant seemingly should be able to get underneath him with his body to keep him off the glass. But O'Bryant never really made use of his bulk advantage over his lanky opponent. Gobert went over the top of him for boards and rendered him ineffective on offense. The big man from LSU was able to use his size to bounce Jazz backup center Greg Somogyi off balance, opening up a couple of easy finishes, but he didn't flash much.

It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

Have you given up on Jabari after 3
Summer League games?
I mean I think this quote from the article answers that question. " Or at least what we hoped for would be the best. But … we're three games into Las Vegas Summer League, so who the hell really cares?"
Yup. Done. Toast…
I think Parker was better this game than vs. the Suns as he didn't force quite as many jumpers and looked more comfortable in the flow. Didn't look as gassed either.
Jabari will be a huge bust for us unfortunately. He has very limited upside. You can really see his lack of athleticism as he settles for bad fall away jumpers. This is similar to what happened to him at Duke.
I think when all is said and done there were two superstars in this draft – Andrew Wiggins, a healthy Joel Embid, and we got neither!!
Parker has similarities to Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony, and look what busts they've become.
The Bucks chose the right player. Wiggins is an athletic freak who needs to develop into a basketball player; we already have that with Giannis. Embid is an injury waiting to happen, much like Bogut. I was a fan of Bogut, but he can't stay on the court.
The Bucks needed a legit scorer and Parker gives them that. Parker was the best player in the ACC as a freshman at Duke. The other two have potential; he has results.
The choices the Bucks had came down to…
1. A proven commodity and polished offensive player in Parker who's ceiling was comparative to players such as C.Anthony and P.Pierce — not bad at all. Plus, he wanted to be in Milwaukee and he seems like he's not your typical diva-type NBA player!
2. An injured and high upside Embiid who very well could be injury prone.
3. A relatively unknown commodity in Exum who possessed high upside but word was he preferred to go to a team with a bigger market than Milwaukee.
4. Plus maybe long-shots: Gordon or Smart; two players with pretty high ceilings themselves, but not the same clout of those above.
Wiggins, despite as much as I wanted the Bucks to end up with him, was picked #1 so the Bucks had no chance to even consider him at #2.
I certainly wont look back and fault the Bucks for picking J.Parker #2. I hope the team is able to set him up for better success in the future as he clearly has good skills which should be game planned to make better use of.
You got to be shitting us, dude.
Go cheer for the Bulls.
It's like no one ever watched Parker play before…
I agree on your point but it wasn't an easy call for Bucks management to make. We were set up perfectly until the Embid injury. Cleveland was going to take Joel and we would have had Wiggins at our #2 selection. Once the injury happened Wiggins went to number 1. So it basically came down to Jabari, Embid, or an outside chance of Exum. I would have taken Embid knowing he will probably have to sit for a year to get healthy. I think if healthy he is a flat out stud! The Bucks though wanted to draft someone that would play from day one and therefore took Parker.
I have had the same concerns about Jabari's athleticism and do see even in the first Summer League games. I see him missing contested dunks just like in college because he doesn't have the explosion. I also see him taking bad contested jumpers because he doesn't have the elevation on his jump shot like Wiggins. He is a solid shooter though when open.
I still think Jabari will be a good player, but definitely not a superstar. There is a chance Jabari could get Rookie of the Year since he will get a LOT of shots playing with the Bucks. I see him being a 15 to 20 point scorer over his career and a borderline all-star.
Guys. Seriously.
When it's Brandon Knight and not Jordan Taylor, and Khris Middleton as opposed to Ben Brust, and Larry Sanders instead of Johnny O'Bryant, this is all a different story.
It's summer. Go on a trip or something this weekend. Hit the Northwoods, breathe some fresh air. Get some sun. It's going to be okay.
It is not like Wiggins is lighting it up in SL. Why are you so sure Jabari is a bust and Wiggins is a superstar? Wiggins is super athletic, but he settled for tons of jumpers vs the bucks
Everybody freaking relax. The Bucks, as a summer league team, suck. There will be more space to operate, plays will be run, and more open looks and spacing will be had in the regular season. Jabari will have his chance to prove himself then. It's just difficult because this SL roster sucks so bad.
The Bucks, as a National Basketball Association team, suck. This is a good thing however. They will be good one day, hopefully not this year but the following year maybe they can start making some noise.
Parker is just feeling his way so far. It's his first taste of Pro Ball. His talent is obvious, and I love his aggressiveness even though he's getting a lesson on NBA rim protectors.
That said, the Bucks have no 3 point threats, no rim protectors and little guard play on this squad. We are losing games because of poor 3 point shooting and bad perimeter defense.
Note- noticing Giannis is picking up some of Parker's half court moves and making them work. His improvement from a year ago is down right amazing.
Relax with Parker, please!
I feel Parker had just as good a game as Giannis, this is summer league… to call Parker a bust is laughable especially when hes being set up by Jordan Taylor (who wont make an NBA team) and when giannis passes the ball 4 times total a game its gonna be hard for him to make a difference or get in a rhythm. I agree with JP when its the bucks starters out there and other teams cant key on Parker the game will come to him. He put up 17 and 9 in his first game a double double in his second and 14 points on 43% shooting in his third game and hes been playing poorly these are the stats of the average SF on the bucks so if this is him being out of rhythm and playing terrible ill take it !!! calm down people the bucks absolutely made the right choice
What all this seems to cry out for is a point guard to direct the offense, keep the ball moving, and set up guys like Parker for good shots — my old familiar refrain.
One fun thing for Bucks fans during the remainder of this Vegas Summer League could be to look for unheralded or underappreciated point guards on other teams who might be available to the Bucks.
It's also worth talking about more advanced NBA players who the Bucks might obtain with a trade, including teams that might be overstocked at point.
Even if one thinks that Nate Wolters is going to be a good point guard for the Bucks, it wouldn't hurt to have another guy or two who is quicker and slicker at breaking down defenses off the dribble and who is craftier at getting the ball to teammates.
As I've written before, this is the one position that seems to have the most effect on all the other positions, a kind of quarterback on the court.
P.S. I'm a big fan of Brandon Knight, but at shooting guard.
Word is, the Bucks are thinking seriously of moving Giannis to point guard. Wow!
Giannis, the first point-center?
Patients please, Jabari will be fine. It's just summer league and regardless of everyone saying he's pro ready he's only 19. He's smart and talented. He'll figure it out.
Giannis however is looking awesome. He's more aggressive, has a post game all the sudden, building an iso game as well, looks a little stronger and has an improving handle. He just needs to keep going on this path and continue to work on strength and his shot. Still not sure about the PG thing. He looks ok at it on offense and it could be interesting to see but he does appear to have a problem staying in front of smaller quicker guards. Who knows, actually basketball coaches/ GMs know more than I do so we'll see.
Should be fun to watch this year.
Never too early for this:
Jabari will be a huge bust for us unfortunately. He has very limited upside. You can really see his lack of athleticism as he settles for bad fall away jumpers. This is similar to what happened to him at Duke.
I keep hearing people want to compare Jabari to Paul Pierce or Carmelo Anthony, but the player I see when I watch Parker play is Antoine Walker. Both are 6'9″ forwards who aren't in great and settle for long contested jumpers a little too easily, but still have nice secondary skills.
Walker wasn't a bad player. He would put up 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists a night and that's pretty good. It's just the 20 points came more from volume of shots than being a good scorer, and I worry that will be Parker's problem. It's hard to win when your best scorer shoots 41% from the field.
If Parker is going to be better than Walker he'll need to improve the jumper or learn to finish in the post while taking contact. Those are the two things Walker never learned to do. As a Bucks fan I hope he can do that.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Lawyers for a woman charged in
the 1996 Tucson car bomb killing of her ex-husband say their client had
nothing to gain from his death, that she was a successful real estate
broker with her own assets.
Prosecutors, however, describe Pamela Phillips as a
gold digger who hired a former boyfriend to kill businessman Gary
Triano to collect on a $2 million life insurance policy.
Opening statements in the case began Wednesday.
Phillips has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The ex-boyfriend was convicted in 2010 and
sentenced to two life terms, though jurors aren't allowed to consider
his case while determining Phillips' fate.
Triano, a Tucson developer, died Nov. 1, 1996, when his car exploded outside a country club.
