WEEK OF PRAYER: Persecution reflects faith's authenticity
Nike and Ruth Ripken (names changed), serving tea to a guest, began a long-term effort to understand persecution through their experiences in Africa and the Mideast. Believers have been martyred not just for following Christ but for being openly identified with outside Christian agencies.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This year's Week of Prayer for International Missions in the Southern Baptist Convention is Dec. 2-9 with the theme of "BE His heart, His hands, His voice" from Matthew 16:24-25. Each year's Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions supplements Cooperative Program giving to support Southern Baptists' 5,000 international missionaries' initiatives in sharing the Gospel. This year's offering goal is $175 million. To find resources about the offering, go to
NORTHERN AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST (BP) -- Nik and Ruth Ripken* have served in some of the toughest areas of Africa. They've known believers who have been martyred for Christ. They've spoken with hundreds of Christians experiencing persecution in more than 70 countries.
After all that, they've learned something about persecution.
"The most persecuted person is a lost person who has no access to Jesus," Nik says. "Satan wants to keep people from hearing about Jesus. If he can't do that, he wants to shut you up, to silence your witness." Most American Christians fall into the second category. They experience no persecution because they tell no one about Jesus.
Yet persecution of Jesus' true followers has been normal from New Testament times to the present day. The No. 1 cause -- when people come to know Jesus. The key is how to make persecution count for God's glory, as the early Christians did.
The Ripkens learned that truth the hard way. They served in South Africa and Kenya after sensing a call from God in the early 1980s. They experienced the drama -- and trauma -- of ministry amid racial apartheid, religious and tribal tensions and other challenges. But nothing prepared them for their next place of service: Somalia. The overwhelmingly Muslim East African nation was wracked by civil war, chaos and danger in the 1990s, as it is today.
Loss and sacrifice
"We fed the hungry. We clothed the naked. We were shot at. We buried a 16-year-old son," Nik recounts, referencing the death of their son from an asthma attack in Kenya on an Easter Sunday. And they watched helplessly as nearly 150 Muslim-background followers of Christ in Somalia were martyred. Four of their closest friends died on a single, terrible day in 1994.
The horror continued, and the Ripkens and other workers were forced out in 1998. They have not been able to return.
The Ripkens realized that many of these martyrs died not just for following Christ, but for being openly identified with outside Christian agencies. Thus began their long-term effort to understand the nature of persecution and how God works through it. Trying to stop it in every case or "rescue" every believer experiencing it is a misunderstanding of religious freedom, they contend.
"We need to pray intelligently, not that persecution will increase, but that the peoples of the earth have access to Jesus -- all of them," Nik explains. "When that happens, persecution is going to be a reality. Sometimes God needs to have Joseph in Pharaoh's prison for a purpose. Historically and biblically, persecution is normal. In many places today it authenticates the faith. So persecution is not something you run toward or run away from. Persecution just is. It's what you make of it that counts."
Now based in Northern Africa and the Middle East, Nik and Ruth specialize in training and research to help the global body of Christ, including IMB workers and Southern Baptist churches, understand effective Gospel witness and church planting in environments where persecution is the norm.
Among the nations
Everywhere they go in the world, they meet Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others hungry to know about God. "Every time we send a missionary through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, we're saying, 'We will not stop until every man, woman, boy and girl on earth has access to Jesus,'" Nik says. "Being His heart, His hands and His voice means we're representing Jesus among all the nations."
The nations are often much closer than we think. Immigrants arriving in America these days include people who are hard to reach with the Gospel in their home countries. Here, they can be reached by crossing the street. But you have to cross the street.
"God is giving us a second chance. He is bringing the nations to us," Nik says. "But we're running from the nations in our midst. ... Until we get over our fear, we will not welcome the lost in our midst. [Often] these people are lonely and isolated. Get out of your church. Go to their homes. Invite them to your home. Shop where they shop. We're in a free country, and yet we're not exercising our freedom to witness to the nations in our midst."
Even so, Nik emphasizes, U.S. Christians have the same spiritual freedom in other places -- even the most "closed," repressive nations on earth.
"Satan has deceived us," he says. "Witnessing is not about freedom. It's not about being in a free country. Witness is about obedience. Do I have the courage to suffer the consequences of exercising my freedom to share Jesus?"
*Names changed. Erich Bridges is IMB's global correspondent.
A book about the Ripkens, "The Insanity of God," is their true story of faith persecuted in the midst of war, opposing religions and personal loss. It will be available at major outlets beginning Jan. 1. To learn more about the Ripkens and their ministry, visit nikripken.com. Southern Baptists' gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions and through the Cooperative Program help Southern Baptist missionaries around the world share the Gospel. Gifts for the offering are received at Southern Baptist churches across the country or can be made online at
where there are resources for church leaders to promote the offering. Download related videos at

The Kings' last victory came March 28 in Phoenix against the Suns, who, like Sacramento, will miss the playoffs.
That also was the last game the Kings will play this season against a team with no chance of making the postseason.
In their first two attempts to play spoiler, the Kings came up short.
Tonight, the Kings try again to play spoiler, hoping to stall the Dallas Mavericks' effort to pass the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Mavericks are the last team the Kings will play that is below .500 this season, but Dallas has not been eliminated from playoff contention, thanks to a strong push in recent weeks.
Kings coach Keith Smart doesn't believe his players have begun making plans for the offseason.
Even after Wednesday's loss to Houston, in which the Kings were "heavy legged" at the start, Smart said preparation for that game and Thursday's practice gave no indication the Kings are simply waiting for the season to end.
"You still try to play, and I'm still preparing the team to play and win," Smart said. "If you go into a game like that, you can very much (be) embarrassed. But this group, we've still got a lot of guys, all of our guys that still like to play and want to play. I think we'll still have some good efforts."
Smart said the fact the Kings overcame double-digit deficits before losing to the Houston Rockets is a sign that they haven't stopped playing hard.
The Kings are expecting the best effort from their opponents the rest of season, considering the stakes. Meanwhile, the Kings are trying to improve on the points of emphasis from most of the season, such as defense and ball movement.
If they don't, the final seven games could be blowouts. Smart said teams that have mentally checked out lose by 20 or 30 points late in the season.
He acknowledged that could happen if an opponent has a great shooting night, but he doesn't expect lopsided losses to occur because of a lack of focus or effort.
"They're all going to come in and play hard," said forward John Salmons. "They're all going to give it their best shot. They're all good teams. We know that coming in, so we have to be one of those teams that spoils a good playoff run."
Smart said the easiest way to get a team to stop caring is to change the coaching approach.
Benching veterans for the sake of getting in young players late in the season could splinter a team, and Smart has no intention of employing that tactic.
Smart said keeping a team focused on a goal is important, even with the playoffs no longer in the mix.
That's "when you keep everyone understanding we're still try to grow the team and build the team and guys have got to keep playing hard," Smart said.
Salmons said it should not be a challenge for players to finish out the season the right way.
"We're still out there playing," he said. "This is our job, it's something that we love to do. So we should be able to go out there, regardless of the situation and play our best and give our best shot."

Bush campaign signs and bumper stickers nearby, Gov. Mike Leavitt, R-Utah, declared his support for the Texas governor's presidential campaign and asked for help to further the campaign in Utah. The governor was at Weber State University Tuesday for two purposes. The first was to meet with representatives about Bush's Utah campaign in preparation for the March 10 Western States Primary. The second was to talk about Utah's first-ever primary election, and what Utahns can expect. Leavitt said he would know better what kind of campaign he and colleagues will be able to stage in Utah, after Tuesday's Michigan primary. At the very least, he said, numerous lawn signs will soon bloom across the Wasatch front. Many Bush supporters were on hand at Tuesday's meeting to pledge their support and their time on behalf of both Bush and Leavitt.

See Bush page 3 By Angie Welling editor in chief-Trie Signpost Shortly after declaring his personal support for-presidential candidate George W. Bush Tuesday, Gov. Mike Leavitt, R-Utah, held a short press conference about Utah's first-ever presidential primary election March 10. "It's a pleasure to be on Weber's campus," Leavitt said at the opening of the conference. Leavitt visited Weber State University as part of a "statewide effort to inform people about this new opportunity available." Up until now, Leavitt said the West has been left out of the nomination process for the president. There's Just such major parts of the country that are left out of this process," he said. However, he said, the new Western States Primary will change that. "The West will become quite pivotal," he said.

By Linda Loveland managing editor-Trie Signpost Weber State University's mock trial team has proven its skill beyond a reasonable doubt. Among the 23 teams i from the 14 universities that 1 corrmeted in the Western Regional Mock Trial Competition hosted by WSU Friday and Saturday, WSU's 308 team finished sixth in a tie with the University of Texas, qualifying it for the National Tournament in March. "It Is important that we qualified for nationals," said Frank Guliuzza, political 13 j2 science professor and mock trial coach. "It was a hard field and tough competition." WSU had two registered teams in the competition, 308 and 309, and one bye team, 222, thrown in at the last minute. The bye team was entered to even up the number of teams in the tournament. Though a bye team would normally be made up of individuals from other teams who were not in the midst of competition, Guliuzza decided to enter a team made up of students See Team page 5 Orphaned child care money finding new guardians By Preston McConkie asst. news editor-The Signpost The Student Fee Recommendation Committee on Friday wasn't happy when Carl Porter, director of Academic Support Services, asked for $3,000. They insisted he take twice that much. Some leftover money from the SFRC will pay to help students prepare for graduate school, as well as cover the cost of the soccer team's trip to the Big Sky Finals last semester. Each year the SFRC sets aside around $50,000 to be kept in reserve for unexpected expenses during the next year. But this year, with enrollment and student fee revenues higher than ever, the committee hasn't yet needed to touch any reserve money. The campus' child care program, provided through the Department of Education and subsidized by student fees, has $54,000 that it won't spend this year. The money is now back in the hands of the SFRC, and several programs have already asked for part of it. On Friday, Porter met a committee already eager to help him fund a program to help students prepare for graduate school tests. Graduate school tests such as the GRE are more essential for getting Into graduate school than the ACT test is for getting into WSU. No one gets into graduate school without some sort of test, said Test ing Center secretary Claire Nye. Vice President for Student Affairs Anand Dyal-Chand told the committee that commercial preparation courses are available to help students perform well on the tests, but these courses can cost up to $ 1 .000. It doesn't have to be that way If Weber State University provides a preparation course. Preparing students for those tests is something WSU ought to be doing, according to WSU Student Association President Dee Hansen. "When Northwestern Accreditation came to WSU." Hansen said, "one of the concerns they had is we don't prepare students for graduation. This Is exactly what V.'lL'.t Z'pin needs to Cr.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Modify templates to use new get_x() codes
Hey Tosh,
Long time no chat!
In BuddyPress 1.5, the bp-default templates are modified a bit to use get_header( 'buddypress' ), get_sidebar( 'buddypress' ) and get_footer( 'buddypress' ). This will give theme developers more freedom when coding the markup and layout.

Williams v. Illinois and Forensic Evidence: The Bleeding Edge of Crawford
Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

Why Apple is investing millions in US manufacturing
"We do have a responsibility to create jobs," says CEO Tim Cook
"Those jobs aren't coming back." That's what Steve Jobs said when President Obama asked him whether Apple (AAPL) would ever consider manufacturing its popular products in the U.S.
But Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, has other ideas. In interviews with Bloomberg Businessweek and NBC News, Cook has revealed that in 2013, Apple will invest $100 million in manufacturing computers in the U.S.
"I don't think we have a responsibility to create a certain kind of job," Cook told Bloomberg. "But I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs."
Cook didn't specify which products would be manufactured in the U.S., though it's been noted that the new iMac already bears the label "Assembled in the U.S.A.," making it a likely contender. Cook acknowledged that Apple won't literally make the products, but would continue its practice of hiring contractors to manufacture various elements. Cook also reminded his interviewers that some components -- such as the iPhone's glass screen -- are already being made in the U.S.
However, it would be just a tad naive to chalk up Apple's move to purely patriotic motives. (Indeed, Cook himself oversaw Apple's broad shift to China in the 1990s when he was the company's head of operations.) As the most valuable company in history, Apple has come undercriticism for hiring a paltry number of American workers. There are 43,000 people directly employed by Apple in the U.S., while the bulk of its 700,000 contract workers live overseas, mainly in China.
Furthermore, Apple's largest manufacturing partner, Foxconn, has come under intense scrutiny over the workplace conditions at its Chinese factories. Reports of suicides, explosions, and labor-law violations have emerged like a parade of horribles from the assembly lines where iPhones are made.
In other words, it's easy to see Cook's announcement as a move to generate some feel-good publicity. While $100 million may sound like a serious down payment on the can-do spirit of the American worker, it's chump change for Apple, which made $8 billion in the last quarter and has been routinely criticized for having no idea what to do with all its money. In addition, it's telling that the iMac -- a desktop behemoth that was long ago eclipsed in popularity by the iPhone and the iPad -- is the only Apple product currently being assembled in the U.S.
Still, some analysts see the announcement as a possible harbinger of a new wave of in-sourcing, reversing the decades-long trend of exporting manufacturing jobs to China. "It's a start," says Paul Thurrott at Windows IT Pro, "hopefully one that will garner positive feedback and trigger more manufacturing — and jobs — in Apple's home country."

Dear Colleagues,
With the retirement of Chief Cardoza this month we are in the process of conducting a search for a new Director of Police and Safety. In the interim, I have appointed Ben Reyna as our Acting Director of Public Safety. As such, Mr. Reyna has full authority and oversight of the UT Brownsville Campus Police Department.
Mr. Reyna's extensive experience in law enforcement includes 25 years with the Brownsville Police Department, serving 6 years as Chief of Police until his retirement, and as Director of the United States Marshals Service in Washington, D.C. He is well versed in issues and standards at the state level, having served as Presiding Officer of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education.
Mr. Reyna will retain his duties as Assistant Provost for Governmental Relations as we approach a very important legislative year, and he will continue to report directly to the Provost on all governmental relations and public safety issues. Consistent with UT System-wide policy, Mr. Reyna will also consult, coordinate and report on public safety matters with the Office of the Director of Police at the University of Texas System.
We are very appreciative to Mr. Reyna for agreeing to lend his leadership at this important time as we continue our search for a permanent Director.

A night spent at a local bar a year ago has led to a lawsuit against a DeKalb County commissioner and the DeKalb Police Department.
The lawsuit revolves around what happened and what two women claim shouldn't have happened with DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson and the DeKalb County police at the Tanqueray Lounge last summer.The FOX 5 I-Team was the first to show you how police caught the popular and longtime commissioner at a bar, drinking and then driving. But, there was no arrest. An internal affairs investigation found five officers felt Watson either could have or should have been arrested. All officers were cleared of any wrongdoing. Following the internal investigation, DeKalb County Solicitor Sherry Boston asked for a special prosecutor outside of DeKalb County to review the evidence. Chuck Spahos determined there wasn't enough evidence for a DUI arrest.Now Zarina Ali and Sheneeka Bradhser have filed suit against Commissioner Watson, the Tanqueray Lounge owner and the DeKalb police. The women allege they were subjected to "unlawful searches" by police because Watson "falsely accused (them) of stealing his wallet." Watson told FOX 5's Dale Russell over the phone that the suit is "frivolous" and last year's news and he is "sick of stupid stuff like this."A DeKalb County spokesman says they are not commenting on an ongoing lawsuit. The owner of Tanqueray Lounge did not return our calls.
FOX 5 Senior I-team reporter Dale Russell, who broke this story, has the latest.
- Bar incident involving DeKalb commissioner sparks investigation
- DeKalb County commissioner won't be charged with DUI
- Solicitor wants special prosecutor to investigate DeKalb commissioner
- Special prosecutor gets case involving DeKalb commissioner

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Just over three million Wisconsinites could end up deciding the presidential race Tuesday.
State election officials expect at least 70 percent of voting-age adults to turn out.
The Associated Press is the only one of several news organizations which estimates that Democratic President Barack Obama has enough electoral votes to win a second term. Other outlets call it a toss-up with Republican Mitt Romney – and the Badger State is among the very few where the outcome is still up in the air.
Wisconsin could also end up deciding which party gets control of the United States Senate. Republican Tommy Thompson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin are neck-and-neck in what observers call one of the most negative Senate races in the country – thanks in part to the nation's second-highest amount of special interest money that was pumped into TV ads and phone calls.
Voters will choose at least one new U.S. House member Tuesday. That's in the Madison area, where Baldwin gave up her House seat to run for the Senate.
Freshman Republicans Sean Duffy of Weston and Reid Ribble of Sherwood appear to have the biggest challenges as they go for their second terms.
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Janesville is also running for his current U.S. House seat against Democrat Rob Zerban.
Control of the Wisconsin Legislature is also up for grabs. The Assembly is expected to stay Republican, but one or two swing contests may or may not keep the Senate in Democratic hands.
There are also numerous races for Wisconsin county offices – plus almost 30 school referendums around the Badger State. All polls open at 7 a.m., and close at 8 p.m.

All this cold weather means lots of folks will be firing up the heater, lighting a fire, lighting candles and decorating your home. Unfortunately, many of those are the reason the holidays are the busiest home fire season of the year.
Across the nation, some 40 people are killed and another 7,500 people are injured during the winter months due to holiday related decorations or heating. That's why the local American Red Cross chapter wants to remind folks to take extra caution.
Keep candles on flat surface, and don't leave them near windows, decorations, or where children can reach them. When heating your home, keep portable heaters away from anything flammable (at least three feet), have your chimney inspected before lighting a fire and only burn wood, never paper. If you're cooking for a holiday gathering, never leave your kitchen unattended and always keep a working fire extinguisher on hand.
Executive Director of the American Red Cross Texas Panhandle Chapter, Steve Pair, also advised people to make sure their smoke alarms are in good, working condition around this time of year.
"We encourage everyone to replace the batteries on their smoke detectors at least once a year," said Pair. "Right now's the perfect time to go hit that test button, make sure they are working properly and some of them have a carbon monoxide detectors on them too, which is vital as we move into these colder months, with heaters firing up and stuff like that."
The Red Cross helped provide service to some 17 families who suffered a house fire last year during the holidays. If you or someone you know needs assistance from the Red Cross after a home fire, just give them a call at 376-6309.

Thoughts About Datomic
Sergio Bossa has left a great comment on Fogus's blog post about Datomic that encapsulates in much more detail all my notes (and some more) about Datomic:
I waited for the Datomic announcement with great excitement, and I'd like now to share some thoughts, hoping they will be food for more comments or blog posts.
Datomic certainly provides interesting features, most notably:
- Clojure-style data immutability, separating entity values in time.
- Declarative query language with powerful aggregation capabilities.
But unfortunately, my list of concerns is way longer, maybe because some lower level aspects weren't addressed in the whitepaper, or maybe because my expectations were really too high. Let's try to briefly enumerate the most relevant ones:
Datomic provides powerful aggregation/processing capabilities, but violates one of the most important rules in distributed systems: collocating processing with data, as data must be moved from storage to peers' working set in order to be aggregated/processed. In my experience, this is a huge penalty when dealing with even medium-sized datasets, and just answering that "we expect it to work for most common use cases" isn't enough.
My comment: The answer to similar comments pointed to the local caches. But I think it is still a very valid observation.
In-process caching of working sets usually leads in my experience to compromising overall application reliability: that is, the application usually ends up spending lots of time dealing with the working set cache, either faulting/flushing objects or gc'ing them, rather than doing its own business.
Transactors are both a Single Point Of Bottleneck and Single Point Of Failure: you may don't care about the former (which I'd do btw), but you have to care about the latter.
My comment: The Datomic paper contains an interesting formulation about the job of transactors for reads and writes:
When reads are separated from writes, writes are never held up by queries. In the Datomic architecture, the transactor is dedicated to transactions, and need not service reads at all!
In an ACID system, both reads and writes represent transactions though.
You say you avoid sharding, but being transactors a single point of bottleneck, when the time you have too much data over a single transactor system will come, you'll have to, guess what, shard, and Datomic has no support for this apparently.
There's no mention about how Datomic deals with network partitions.
I think that's enough. I'll be happy to read any feedback about my points.
As Sergio Bossa, I'd really love to hear some answers from the Datomic team.

1984 – In a 120-114 loss to the New Jersey Nets at Madison Square Garden, Bernard King scored 60 points, the most by a New York Knicks player in franchise history. He shot 19 for 30 (.633) from the field and 22 for 26 (.846) from the free throw line. King's record still stands today and is the most points ever scored by a player on Christmas Day.

Things I liked:Very Sturdy. Not too heavy. Strong attachment. Extendable legs. Cheap price for quality.
Things I would have changed:Give it a little range of motion..
What others should know:This Bipod is built like a tank, but not overly heavy. They extend to become fairly tall. They hold my rifles rock-solid but at the price of having no tilt feature or range of motion. Forgot trying to rotate your rifle with this, the feet are very grippy on certain surfaces and you'll have to lift and reposition your rifle if your hunting and trying to track game. For a BenchRest bipod .. its excellent. I have one of these for every rifle, including some bull pups. Would I prefer an Atlas? Yes. But I don't have a fortune to spend on Atlas's for all my guns. You can outfit your entire collection with these for cheaper than ONE Atlas.
Things I liked:ease of mounting and use.
Things I would have changed:nothing
Things I liked:Excellent addition to my Hatsan AT-44"tact" 1022, Fit's the lower rail like a glove, Good length, and with the extendable legs fully extended, it gives you a great field of view, as well as being very sturdy when fully extended, some manufacturers, wobble&weavel w/ their legs fully extended, Not UTG!
Things I would have changed:Nothing, Well maybe one thing, get the design dept on it, to make it it a few Oz's lighter, Other than being slightly heavy, I wish it didn't off-set the guns balance when attached, having to put the unit on just before you start your Hunt at your chosen location, isn't as good as having the unit attached for the hunt's duration.
What others should know:Any AT-44"tact"/BT-65 Elite owners out there should seriously consider this unit as a permanent fixture for your gun. Shooting with this unit attached, and fully extended makes shooting in "Prone" position as easy as,,,,,,,,,

PLEASE, someone tell me how this statement is wrong: "A turning, fadeaway jumper will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be more difficult than a post-move that results in a close-up shot or layup."
I'm sick of people saying "just accept Aldridge for who he is", saying that we shouldn't complain when he takes too many jump shots in situations where he could take easier, more dominant shots with a higher % of success.
I understand that a jumpshot, and even a fadeaway-jumpshot, are part of LaMarcus' arsenal. I understand that he has an amazing touch for it, putting him in the same group (eventually, if not already) as Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, when it comes to bigs with an outside jumper as a viable weapon. THAT DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT PLAYING SMART BY TAKING THE BEST SHOT.
The smart play, when in the CLOSING SECONDS of a game, with the win on the line, RECEIVING THE BALL IN THE POST, and the FLOOR IS SPREAD so you can't get a solid double-team against you, and you have the following options:
- a fadeaway-jumpshot (even for Aldridge, it's barely better than a coinflip over his career from 12-18 feet, and tonight it's slightly worse than a coinflip, plus he's tired, plus a ready defender) vs
- a turn-to-the-bucket-layup/CLOSER-jumpshot (Aldridge is at LEAST 5% better/MORE LIKELY TO HIT THE SHOT within 10 feet than he is from 12-18 feet)
The answer is ALWAYS to TAKE THE CLOSER SHOT. PERIOD. GAME OVER AND BLAZERS WIN...
But not if Aldridge has anything to say about it!
I love Stotts' decisions throughout the game. Smart to put it on Dame and make him show up, after some misses he should make. Smart to play Luke when he did. SMART TO GO TO ALDRIDGE on the final play.
But NOT SMART OF ALDRIDGE to take yet another fading jumper.
Yes, it's a good weapon for Aldridge. NO, IT IS NOT HIS BEST SHOT.
If you truly, honestly believe that I'm wrong in this assessment, then you are the one I want to hear from the most. Tell me why that on the final play, with the game on the line, that the play Aldridge took was the smartest play for him to take.
If you just want to talk about jumpers/outside shots vs inside shots, we can have that discussion, somewhere else.
Please, someone explain to me why, with the game on the line and no double team coming, and guarded only by Spencer Hawes, WHY IS ALDRIDGE TAKING A TURNING, FADEAWAY JUMPER at approximately 15-18 feet INSTEAD OF PIVOT, and LAYUP or CLOSER JUMPER with a higher likelihood to get in the basket and win the game, or a higher likelihood to get fouled?
Posted 03/18/2013 6:44 PM
I understand the idea that, over time/a long career in the NBA, jumpshots are valuable. Like Erik pointed out in chat tonight, it helps him stay healthy by avoiding banging down low as often, giving him a leg up in the war of attrition.
I understand that this was a good or great game for Aldridge tonight! Overall the stats aren't bad at all, and I'm still proud of him!
Ok, so are we absolutely clear about the specificity of this thread? PLEASE, someone explain this to me. What am I missing here that justifies Aldridge's last play?
Posted 03/18/2013 7:02 PM
Gotta clear up a little more perspective:
I do NOT want Aldridge gone, I want him to stay a Blazer til he retires.
I don't want him to change his game by simply not taking jumpers, I just want him to select them better. I'm not allergic to the J (ha), but I absolutely think that it being a good weapon for LaMarcus does not justify it being his go-to weapon. Especially with the game on the line and receiving the ball in the 12-15 foot range (or closer).
No matter how good LaMarcus is at the jumpshot, his numbers are undeniably better even closer to the hoop. That's simply fact! Yes, Aldridge will make the shot he took tonight MOST of the time. But, he'll make a closer shot EVEN MORE MOST OF THE TIME!!! And really, who doesn't want "even more most of the time"?
When you grow up playing sports, you are constantly taught to think ahead, and know your options before you get into a situation. The difficulty of doing this in basketball (or soccer) is one of the reasons that I believe it to be such a superior sport to football and baseball; you MUST be able to make the smart decision in a moment's notice, often on your own, without the assistance of a coach or the time to think things over.
To not try your best at that... makes you undeserving of your spot on the team.
That's what we were taught, and I will ALWAYS hold professional athletes to that standard, especially the leader of our team. Like Dwight Jaynes said (it pains me to agree with him), "take it inside, take it right to the basket, you'll get fouled" ...or make the shot, and win the game either way.
BETTER THAN WHAT ALDRIDGE DID. Love the guy, but he needs to be called out on finishing at the rim. This cements that beyond a doubt.
Please please please, if you can logically explain to me why another course of action makes more sense, I honestly would really appreciate it. This is maddening.

Seein lots of views of the thread, no other posters.
I'd like to assume that to mean most readers agree with the assessment, but I know that someone out there has got to be wanting to support Aldridge's last shot.
I have no desire to criticize you, but I really really really want to talk to someone who can explain to me how it makes sense for him to do what he did. It blows my mind that despite endlessly improving his game and playing so well in recent times, Aldridge continues to make the same mistake that he's been criticized for since pretty much his first day in the NBA; too many jumpshots, not wanting to get physical if he doesn't have to, not playing aggressively enough.
Posted 03/18/2013 7:24 PM
Orlando agrees! Just said on Talkin Ball 'yes i like that shot, right now it's one of the most consistent in the nba... is there a BETTER shot? yes there is" and dwight again echoes the same sentiment... Ok, so I'M NOT CRAZY!
It's not about hindsight when it's about wanting the BEST shot to win the game. PLAY SMART BALL, ALDRIDGE.
Posted 03/18/2013 11:16 PM
He can't learn because he is a huge idiot. He doesn't have the God-given ability to make good decisions. He never had to work his ass off for anything and all he had to do was be born 6"11. LA just wasn't built the same way as Lebron, Kobe, or Durant were. He's just a loser. Oh, and the coach who drew up the play, yeah, well he's not responsible. Sorry, were those the type of posts you were looking for? I respect your opinion, but all this causes is unnecessary drama. You know the kind of fan chat you're feeding into.. Even if you aren't someone who thinks LA is "bad." You're still bringing around all the other negative banter from all of the trade-LA talk.
To me, if anything, you should be complaining about Stotts, yet you say good job to Stotts for giving the ball to LA. So in a nutshell, we know Aldridge has been more willing to shoot fadeaways than post shots in the final scoring play of the game. So you don't think that any of this falls on Stotts? He was just clueless to what was going to happen... Nevertheless, for you to be this angry because of a players' style of play is not needed. I do get your point Lamarcus to the block is better. But you know Dirk couldn't always nail fade aways til he got a little more mature.. so it doesn't mean don't even try it, because that's how you learn.
Posted 03/19/2013 12:31 AM
So add in the game earlier.. that makes Aldridge 8-22 in potential game-winning/tieing shots. That makes his game-winning/tieing percentage at 36%. Kobe's is 30% (spared the space in putting the 170 attempts he's made, trust my math skills ;). Obviously the more times you do it, the harder it is to keep a percentage, due to the degree of difficulty of the shot. But still, at this point it would be baseless to make an argument that Aldridge isn't clutch, because he a) hasn't been in many situations where he has to, yet, and b) stats show that he really isn't bad. Just to get out some other players (I'll try to compare some players who are similar to LA) : Tim Duncan: 37% (22-60) Dirk Nowitzki: 38% (31-82) ; Within his first 6 seasons: 32% (12-38) Kevin Durant: 29% (24-82) Lebron James: 29% (30-102)
Posted 03/19/2013 12:34 AM
What causes unnecessary drama, Knorton, is inflammatory language and baseless criticism, like what you started your post with. If I'm reading it right, you're making a mocking commentary, degrading Aldridge in any way you can to lower his value, in order to somehow point out that my critique of his last play is somehow the same thing? If that's what you're trying to say, I don't get it. Please don't make mountains out of molehills, and you will directly be making it harder for anyone else to do it either, get it? The sarcastic response isn't appreciated nor is it helpful.
I was very specific that I'm trying to discuss the decision on the final shot. That has absolutely nothing to do with bringing up the over-dramatic response and negative banter that you seem to think is unavoidable if I say anything negative about Aldridge. We have to be able to have an open conversation about a basketball player's play, without it becoming some giant over-reaching grand statement about his total value, so pleeeease, if that's all you can contribute, take it somewhere else :)
If, instead, you're trying to argue that it's on Stotts more than Aldridge, that seems like a pretty weak excuse, especially when we were told today that Aldridge has been asking Stotts to play him more in the post. If that is the case, then all Stotts did was give him a chance, and LaMarcus turned around (literally) and went the other way with it.
Sooo yeah, that's still on Aldridge. At the same time, I am a little confused as to why Stotts wouldn't have had JJ in there for the final play, to give one more interior easy-bucket option. Pretty sure Hickson only played 16 minutes, so why not have the fresh big man on the floor?
Nevertheless, when it comes to a game-winning shot, and the ball is delivered to Aldridge within 12 feet, and there is no double team coming, it still seems to me like the smart play/analytically correct play/the play with the best chance of winning the game, is going to be a close layup/jumper over a turning fadeaway jumper, almost every single time.
So Knorton, instead of trying to derail the conversation because you don't think I should be so mean to Aldridge, why don't you address the actual question and tell me what you think about it? Or about Stotts' lack of use of JJ?
Just don't respond with "Stotts isn't controlling LaMarcus enough", cuz that's not what we're talking about here, or with "criticizing LaMarcus in a thread is just gonna bring out the LaMarcus haters", cuz so far, you're the only one who's been posting the "hater" kinda stuff, and I'm still waiting to hear you respond to the actual post :)
Posted 03/19/2013 12:38 AM
Knorton, I LOVE the clutch percentages post! That's awesome :)
But I wasn't saying Aldridge isn't clutch. Never said it once.
I said he made a horrible decision on his last shot tonight, and he should know better.
Posted 03/19/2013 3:35 AM
aldridge is our best player still doesn't mean the ball has to be in his hands in clutch moments.....back in the drexler era he was our best player but that ball almost always was in either porters or ainges hands in clutch moments
Posted 03/19/2013 5:27 AM
Agree with Blaser. 247...if you were to poll the Philly fans in attendence last night, you would find an overwhelming percentage of them thinking that shot was going down. For me, that's the end all. I respect your opinion however, and even agree with some of what you are saying. However, I have no issue with the shot last night under the circumstances. Remember, officials are not going to blow the whistle in that situation.
Like most fans of this team, I would like LA to do more business in the paint.

Posted 03/19/2013 6:34 AM
He should never have backed hawes to the top of the key. He should have gone baseline towards the hoop, and done his patented baseline turnaround J. I am happy with that shot. Not with him going near the top of the key, sort of turning around and fading away. At least he could have fakes the turnaround on the baseline (Defender mor elikely to fall for his patented shot) and done an up an under or something, but still I think it wasn't THAT bad of a shot. Could be better, should have been better, but sometimes it just doesn't go in. And under no circumstances should we give Lillard the ball to make the winning shot. We put enough on him as it is. Don't want to add more pressure. Also, we could have put JJ in instead of Babbit, keep LA on the baseline, done and off the ball screen and roll with lillard as the handler and hickson rolling to the rim and ooped it.
Posted 03/19/2013 7:08 AM
at this point though after this loss I think it's time to quit over playing them and start giving them average starting minutes and let our rookies and bench get more time on the floor to develop since our playoff push is pretty much coming to a close

Posted 03/20/2013 10:47 PM
You talk about the how the player is supposed to think ahead and know the options. This is true, and the topic here is last second shots. In My mind, the last second shot should be some sort of a fake type of juke effort attempt which cannot be defended physically by the opposing player. It is obvious time and time again that if You physically get fouled at the end of the game, the refs will Not blow the whistle.. Going closer and closer to the hoop at the end of a game will increase the likelihood of the defensive player straight slapping Your body as Your shoot. The end result will simply be a non-whistle by the officials.
On another note; Aldridge's fumbling of balls and the lack of Him recovering close loose balls or scramble plays are to Me, by far the highest and worst I've seen by Him in the past several Years. I don't watch many other teams games, but I for sure think Aldridge needs to work on these type of things. It is strange to Me though that I haven't noticed these easily stolen away balls or non-recovered balls for LA nearly as much as I have this year.

^ yea thats probably a good thing since 90% of centers usually have alot of injury problems
Posted 03/24/2013 12:22 PM
The shot really wasn't that bad, it's not a bad shot if he makes those kind of shots a lot. Just as it's not a bad shot for Kobe, Lebron, KD, and Dirk to shoot faders with two people on them because they can make them, 247 I get you want him going to the basket, but at this point in his career Lamarcus is gonna shoot the fade away. And riverman love that post.
Posted 03/24/2013 2:13 PM
Well said river funny where was this when LA made those game winners with what oh yeah his fade away jumper sometime we get to the point where we over analyze and I think these are one of those times that's the game sometimes it goes in sometimes it doesn't it's all about the situation you never know next time he might take to the basket and what if he missed are we gonna make another thread of how LA should make better decision around the basket.
Posted 03/24/2013 2:50 PM

I'm really glad it's Olshey making these decisions. If instant championship gratification is that important, why not follow the Heat? A rebuilding young roster, new coach, first year team might not satisfy your championship needs. I'm loyal to the local high school team and they've never won anything. Would be a boring sport if only the winners had fans.
Because we're not Heat fans? You can be a fan of a franchise without being emotionally attached to every player on the team. And being a fair weather fan is not the same as being willing to trade players to get better. In fact if you are that sentimental, wouldn't you want to see your favorites guys move onto teams that are better? The team is bigger than individuals. I'm not advocating trading the entire roster here, but I would trade anybody on this team if it brought us closer to a title.
Posted 03/27/2013 9:07 AM
Very simple really, our starting 5, is the heart and soul of this franchise, none more so than Lamarcus Aldridge. Nobody's trading him.
Posted 03/27/2013 9:24 AM
Posted 03/27/2013 10:48 AM
because they arent' winning a championship this season is no reason to continue to blow up the chemistry and start over and over and over... I'd like to trade a handful of bench players but throwing your {proven quality players} for something MAYBE better is like gambling. High risk. I believe the team is not far away from contending in the playoffs but to blow it up this season is just ridiculously reckless.
Feel like you nailed it there, River.
But guys, can we PLEASE re-focus this thread? I was really enjoying most of the discussion I was reading about the ACTUAL topic (LaMarcus' shot selection/timing of jumpers), and then, like Knorton predicted (and thank you sir, for your explanation after, and my apologies to you for a defensive reaction as well), along come the trade talks, and people start attacking each other's comments instead of having any sort of useful discussion. NOT HERE. Ok?
People made great points about other factors, such as Aldridge's health by staying more out of the fray than people would want him to (and many more solid arguments that I now can't remember), enough so that it proves we CAN have a real conversation about that, without it turning into such a basic argument. Can we PLEASE, just for this thread, all try and stay on that page?
Like I said, there were some really good posts up above all the trade talk, and as I read them I definitely have things I want to respond to (but there's no time right now!). Maybe if we open it up past LaMarcus, there will be less likelihood of the conversation falling apart, so...
PLEASE, just keep the conversation about SHOT SELECTION AS A FACTOR OF SMART BASKETBALL.
I'll even rename the thread to keep it clear :) Thanks guys, can't wait to read/respond more soon.

I've been a Blazer fan since the 70s and I'm still one. Sentimentality has nothing to do with loyalty. I happen to really like 7 players on this team and anybody who's ever read my posts knows I'd like to trade a handful of bench players but throwing your allstars, rookie of the year and veteran starters for something MAYBE better is like gambling. High risk. I believe the team is not far away from contending in the playoffs but to blow it up this season is just ridiculously reckless.
A completley passive aggressive response. I quoted exactly what you said, and you don't have to read between the lines to know exactly what you meant. Stand by my remark and all the people here who are consistently called fair weather or disloyal fans when we say this or that player is not performing. I'm not even talking about LMA at this point which certainly ruffles panties, I get that. I'm talking about the atmosphere of this forum in general which is full of homers. You may disagree with trading LMA for any number of reasons, but that is not at all what you said in your previous post.
Posted 03/27/2013 5:05 PM
Just to clarify I have loyalty it is to the Portland Trailblazers. As a team I want them to win titles above all else. Therefore, I do not care if we have to trade everyone on the team to get it done.
Winning is everything. I like a team to see them win. I like players who they are not the team they play on, which is why I like Kobe despite typically hating the Lakers.

United Racing & Bloodstock Breeders Ltd was formed by Dr. Vijay Mallya in the year 1988 to bring under a single banner his rapidly growing interests in Racing & Breeding.
While Dr. Mallya started owning race horses at the early age of 21 with the purchase of Danish Lad who raced and won in 1976 however, it was in the year 1985 that he started purchasing quality horses in numbers to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
Having owned and raced several top class fillies it seemed only natural that he should breed with them and this led to his taking over in 1992 the historic Kunigal Stud Farm located 70km from his corporate head quarters at Bangalore.
