In order to enjoy "Metallica Through the Never," you really have to like Metallica. I mean really like them. Does this go without saying? Probably, but other than the band's music and an incredible stage show there is very little else to recommend here. Any attempt at a deeper film is completely lost in all the riffs and drumbeats.
M.DREW: Speaking of Queensryche songs, if you ever really want to make a serious 'Ryche fan angrier than all get out, tell him or her your favorite song of theirs is "Jet City Woman." Watch the reaction. There might even be an eye twitch.
My word.
The internet has been fairly aflame since the announcement of the cooperative effort between Lou Reed and Metallica, two titans of their respective genres. Cynicism and hope ran high, the backs of necks bristled with both anticipation and fear. As more and more copies were released, and the web stream was opened to the public, the album took on notes of trouble. Soon, the clear skies above the album and its accompanying concept has turned black with a hurricane of vitriolic reviews and crushing waves of critical disdain.
How to describe a show that's thirty years in the making? An event so domineering it was called, without hyperbole, the largest metal show that the East Coast has ever seen. It was the culmination of a timely anniversary, fan support and the consistently discussed dream of all metal fans world wide. We asked and eventually, with some prodding, New York City's collective thrash prayer was answered.
So, the Big 4 and roughly fifty thousand of their closest friends came by all roads and paths to Yankee Stadium for an evening of heavy metal history and fury.
So, despite promising an update on tour "dates" (plural) as late as yesterday, the Big 4 of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax have released a statement concerning just a single date.
Just one.
Saturday, April 23rd, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Tickets go on sale this Friday morning at 10, a day earlier if you're a member of the fan club.
Okay, with all the recent "best [blank] of the decade" going on, I decided it was high time I got involved. Seeing as how I can only proclaim myself to be an expert in a few things, and "best pork roast recipes of the decade" didn't seem terribly theme appropriate, I got to thinking about heavy metal, as I so often do.
This originally appeared in an article under the science section of the Guardian online, and I just plain couldn't let it go by.
Evidently, Metallica, as well as Samuel Barber, Nine Inch Nails and Tool, were played in 30 second bursts for a group of monkeys, at which point their reaction to the music was logged and chronicled. (The actual point of the study was to examine the effects of monkey-sound-inspired music on monkeys. Make your own joke here.)
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

With Coldplay gearing up for its small string of "intimate" shows, Roadie 42 has resurfaced. Coldplay fans will remember Roadie 42 from his blog on the official Coldplay site , where he offers a behind-the-scenes look at the machinations involved in being on the road with one of the world's biggest bands.
His latest post -- the first in almost a year-and-a-half -- was posted on April 25 from Paris and has our roadie musing that "time is an odd thing" when you're getting ready for the road, and how many of his emails these days are trying to get him to "pull a mildly impossible rabbit of a spectacularly odd hat."
Though this post was short on substance, it was long on the tone of promise -- that Roadie 42 is back for a while.
Check him out for yourself on Coldplay.com .

Mark Russinovich couldn't understand how the rootkit had sneaked onto his system. An expert on the internals of the Windows operating system, he was careful when it came to computer security and generally had a pretty good idea of what was running on his PC at any given time. And yet the security tool he was using to check his PC was pretty clear: It had found the "rootkit" cloaking software typically used by virus and spyware writers.
After a bit of detective work, Russinovich eventually tracked down the source: a Sony BMG Music Entertainment CD entitled "Get Right with the Man," performed by country music duo Donnie and Johnny Van Zant.
It turns out that Sony is using techniques normally only seen in spyware and computer viruses in order to restrict the unauthorized copying of some of its music CDs. Sony's software, licensed by Sony from a Banbury, U.K., company called First 4 Internet, has become the basis of a dispute that once again pits computer advocates against an entertainment company experimenting with new ways to prevent unauthorized copying of its products.
Sony has been using First 4's XCP (Extended Copy Protection) software since early 2005 as a copy protection mechanism for some of its music CDs, according to Sony spokesman John McKay. He could not say how many of Sony's CDs currently use the XCP software, but he said it is one of two digital rights management products used by the company. The other is SunnComm's MediaMax software, he said.
The XCP software prevents users from making more than three backup copies of any CD, and Sony puts an XCP notification on the back of CDs that use the mechanism, according to Mathew Gilliat-Smith, First 4's chief executive officer.
Although the Van Zant CD software came with an end user license agreement (EULA) informing him that he would be installing software that would reside on his PC until removed, Russinovich, who works as chief software architect with systems software company Winternals Software, said he never expected to be installing a product that would then prove to be virtually undetectable and extremely difficult to remove.
Sony's McKay believes that the disclosures in the license agreement are adequate. "I think the EULA's pretty clear about what it is," he said. "The reason why consumers have really high acceptance levels of these content-protected disks is because they have the functionality that people want."
The First 4 software does nothing malicious and can be uninstalled, should the user want to remove it, McKay said.
That uninstall process is not exactly straightforward, however, and cannot be done through the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" utility in the Windows control panel. When asked for instructions on how to uninstall the software, McKay directed the IDG News Service to a section of the Sonybmg.com Web site where users could ask Sony customer support for uninstall directions.
That Web page can be found here: http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/faq.html#uninstall
Although many computer users may not care much about the finer points of EULAs, people like Russinovich say Sony's software calls a more important issue into question: Who gets to have control over your computer?

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I usually buy 9.5 in shoes, but these are way too small for that!!
Since this is leather, it is really hard to wear from a long period of time. The good part is that leather will stretch with some uses (hopefully).
Having said that, I like how they look! But get a number up if you a planning on getting a pair.
Great boot for the office

I enjoy the ease of the zipper for on and off. I never have to re-tie the laces. I can dress these up or down depending on the occasion.

These shoes are light and comfortable. However classy enough for a shirt and tie type of style/. Fellas, if you haven't had a boot with a zipper try it!
Having the zipper makes putting them on and taking them off incredibly easy. With a quality leather this isn't usually the case.

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul's decision to endorse his father's rival — presumptive GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney — continues to bring the wrath of Ron Paul's cult=like supporters.
"Nothing but a judas. Burn in hell rand," wrote Natalie Shipanoff on Facebook.
Cody Seggerman Tzm, also writing on Facebook, declared: "Shame on you rand…you sold out on everything your father stands for. For money…if here is a hell, you will see it unless you can make up for your actions."
Over at The Daily Paul, a poster named Washington said:
The only thing that makes sense is that they must have lured him in with a hot woman and set him with photographs of the event. Something like that. They have to have something on him they are using for leverage. No son would do this to his own father and his entire movement, especially at this critical stage. Carry on with the new invigoration people. These bastards are going down.
Ah, the "hot woman" theory — just the kind of conspiracy belief one finds in the cult of Ron Paul. As usual, Paul's rabid followers are so wrapped up in the cult-like status of their hero that they fail to comprehend political reality:
- Ron Paul will not win the nomination. He never had a chance;
- Rand Paul, as a freshman Senator from Kentucky, is looking towards his political future and did what he needed to do to support his party.
Some political observers feel Rand Paul realized he doesn't need or want the more fanatical zealots who follow his father.
"There's a lot more to the movement than the hard-core fanatics," journalist Brian Doherty told The Business Insider. "There are a lot of people who voted for Ron Paul in the primaries who are not writing angry things about Rand Paul on the Internet today."
Mark Whittington, writing for the Yahoo contributor network, suggests the virulent reaction to Rand Paul's actions showcases a central problem with Ron Paul's hard-core supporters:
The implied suggestion that Ron Paul is George Washington or Jesus Christ should give one pause. More fundamentally the dust-up over Paul the Younger's endorsement of his party's nominee reveals the overwhelming flaw in the Paulitian movement. It is less of a political movement and more of a cult, centered around Ron Paul and his ideas, which his followers seem to regard as holy writ.
The campaign is Ron Paul's swan song. He is in his 70s and is not as spry as he once was. He is leaving Congress, his claim to political legitimacy. And sooner rather than later, he will be with the ages, a departed prophet. Then his cult will die or subsumed into the greater conservative movement. Either outcome would be satisfactory.
72 Responses to "'Burn in hell Rand:' The son faces the wrath of Ron Paul's cult-like following"
The author of this piece begins from an axiomatic fallacy that the Ron Paul movement is a cult of personality. Anyone who really knows this movement on the inside realizes that is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Ron Paul revolution; it is not about a man or a personality, it is about how "Nobody can stop an IDEA whose time has come." – Ron Paul
While the rest of American voters get herded sleepily in the broken two-party system, Ron Paul supporters have come from all different backgrounds and ideologies to stand up to a tyrannical and despotic central government. This article is in the wave of irrelevant voices that will fade into obscurity as the greater movement towards restoration of liberty in our Constitutional Republic which has gained so much momentum under the temporary banner of the Ron Paul campaign becomes the much needed way of the future. That future is worth fighting for because it is about protecting the American people and their God-given Natural Rights from our over-reaching federal government. Fortunately, freedom is a non-partisan issue. Eventually, the truth will out. Laugh and scoff at us now if you must, but just know that we will die before we submit to the chains of our federal bureaucracy. For anyone who is interested in just one combat veteran for Ron Paul's take on the Rand situation: http://cvrp2012.com/2012/06/11/rand-paul-benedict-arnold-patrick-henry-3/
To all fellow fans of liberty,
Do not be offended by the term 'cult'. The most powerful and influential organizations on planet Earth are indeed 'cults' by definition. For example we have the cult of christianity and all it's offshoots in particular catholicism which is the most expansive profitable cult on the planet. We have Islam which is growing in numbers, influence, and wealth. Judaism, Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Objectivism, and Global Warmism.
These cults all have central figureheads either real or imagined at the center of their tenets. Without casting judgment or offering a logic based debunking of any of the above we can consolidate the underlying single point fact that those 'cults' have only served to divide the populace and consolidate power for a relatively select few. Most of the above are built on a foundation of fraud and manipulation, and it has been proven. Most yet not all. A personal critical examination reveals which cults are more fraudulent, but I digress.
That said, 'The Cult of Liberty' is built upon testable premises and real life individuals. There are no metaphors subject to individual interpretation, and it is THE only 'cult' that will ever unite due to it's all inclusive nature and characteristic of no requirement for mindless indoctrinated beliefs to prop up and maintain it's existence.
Stand above the rest. Embrace your cultism. Understand that civilization is indeed one big cult, and 'The Cult of Liberty' was in fact created to out compete all other forms of division and consolidated unearned power.
This way you can chuckle at articles such as this, and feel the genuine power that comes not from emotional negativity, but from a peaceful understanding.

Has anyone considered that Ron and Rand spoke about this privately and that Ron gave him the ok? He has already decided that he will not have enough delegates to win, so this makes sense. As people have said, the political beliefs are what's important here. If Rand endorsing Romney this election gains him the respect of the Republican party so that when it comes time for him to run for president, he isn't ridiculed and ostricized like his father, then that's a win for the movement.
Propaganda Techniques 101:
Name Calling: Propagandists use this technique to create fear and arouse prejudice by using negative words (bad names) to create an unfavorable opinion or hatred against a group, beliefs, ideas or institutions they would have us denounce. This method calls for a conclusion without examining the evidence. Name Calling is used as a substitute for arguing the merits of an idea, belief, or proposal. It is often employed using sarcasm and ridicule in political cartoons and writing.
There are a number of disenfranchised donkeys who came over to the table in order to support Ron Paul. People are looking past the Partisan Ploy and becoming American again. Good Job GOP and Rand you secured you election to Obama anyway. More spending and Fed money manipulation to come. BUY SILVER, BUY GOLD! PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE. No politician is going to save you.
I just want to know how he can support a candidate and a party that has severely mistreated his father and the people that support him. At the very least he should have endorsed the libertarian party or simply not endorsed anyone. Instead he endorsed a crook so my opinion of him has dropped way down.
Ask why any poor person ever voted Republican?
I'd like to know how Rand can endorse and praise the ruse of a vaccination program used to collect blood samples which were processed by the CIA to help them locate Bin Ladin while at the same time claiming to be for a small government and a protector of freedom.
One must wonder if he supports such programs within the United States.
Wait, WHAT?
Do I understand you correctly, Woody188?
A vaccination program collected blood samples to find Osama bin Laden?
How? By DNA testing people who might be his kids? By DNA testing people who might be him? And was his DNA on file anyhow? This is preposterous. You cannot use a blood sample to find out who a person's associates are. And vaccinations involve injections *into*, not samples drawn *from*…
That's just so incredible (as in 'not believeable', not 'superpowered') I'm going to want some pretty definite evidence.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Carl Sagan.
I'm not going to say it's impossible, but o lord that's wildly improbable.
I think that's ridiculous. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but it'll take a lot more than a few web links from some somewhat dubious websites to convince me.
PS – Actually, it sounds rather like anti-vaccination propaganda. For that, I have nothing but scorn. Evidence upon request. J.
I received this in an email from RandPacUSA.com just yesterday:
I remember exactly where I was on the morning of September 11, 2001.
I'm sure you do too.
And when Seal Team 6 delivered justice to Osama Bin Laden, Americans felt a sense of pride in our military.
But that mission was a success because of the assistance provided by a courageous Pakistani doctor named Shakil Afridi.
Dr. Afridi ran a vaccination campaign that collected blood samples from the Bin Laden family at their compound in Abbottabad, and assisted the CIA hunt for the mass murderer.
Now Dr. Afridi has been sentenced to 33 years in prison by our supposed ally Pakistan for assisting America in the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
This is an outrage, and every American should be insulted by congress continuing to fund the Pakistani government that is imprisoning a hero like Dr. Afridi.
Not one penny of taxpayer money should be sent to Pakistan until they free him.
It's over at Wikipedia too. Wikipedia links to numerous corporate news stories in their footnotes. US officials don't appear to be denying the story.
To me the oddest part is that it's the Pakistani's upholding the principles of freedom in this instance while the US government tries to buy them out with bribes in the form of aid money. We truly live in strange times.
Hear hear.
Seal Team 6 did not deliver justice – They commited extrajudicial murder. Justice involves being tried in an unbiased court of law, with all evidence presented to a jury of one's peers and a competent defense. That's justice, not punching someone in the nose.
I am an American, and I did not feel a sense of pride when the military I paid for murdered a citizen of another country, in another country, in my country's name.
Finally, the blood sample campaign and vaccination campaign and the finding Osama bin Laden campaign are each so totally dissimilar they might as well be in other solar systems. One doctor may very well have been involved with them all – But that doesn't make the campaigns involved with each other in the slightest.
Correlation is not causation.
I'm with the Pakistanis. By pretty much any definition of the term, the doctor, not by drawing blood or vaccinating people, but by feeding information to the intelligence agency of a foreign country, committed treason.
That's called 'spying'. And the usual punishment is death.
Giving him 33 years behind bars is nice of them.
PS – And I'm entirely certain that RandPAC is completely unbiased, and that Wikipedia hasn't been edited and re-edited and re-edited by those with biases also.
Note that the government also has not denied poisoning Ronald Reagan with dimethyl mercury in order that he'd forget all his executive orders, either. Tsk tsk.
One doctor with a support staff 15 nurses. The nurses all lost their licenses over it.
It's natural to not want to believe such heinous things are being done in our names with money borrowed from China that we've promised our children and grand-children will pay back. If only this was the worst.
I'm sure everyone has heard of Obama's "hit list" by now. He even insists on being the one to say whether or not to carry out each assassination. They spin it like it's a good thing to have him involved, like they aren't violating US and International law. And all Congress can do is cry about how the Administration has a terrible security leak and how it needs to be plugged before we find out more secrets we aren't supposed to know.
As far as we know, the secret interpretation of the PATRIOT Act authorizes all this and our representative republic is entirely a farce. We really don't know because they won't even tell us the laws anymore. But somehow we have a representative republic? Bull pucky.
Collaboration (ie. guilt by association) is quite frequently punished similarly to spying.
Have we gone totally off the topic here? Probably. Just to put a bee in Publisher Thompson's bonnet, let's keep on!
And as I pointed out before, the lesser of two evils is a lesser evil, and from an Epicurean perspective the whole point is to lessen evil, and thus a hand-picked and hand-authorized 'To be killed' list is probably better than an 'Let's just kill all them towelheads' attitude from the Vice President Dick Cheney school of international relations.
Even if they're both bad. Life sucks.
As a message to all of those who squawk about 'leaks': Howzabout you guys (and gals) stop doing things like that?
Yes, you're entitled to your privacy. No, you are not entitled to use that privacy as a shield to avoid prosecution for any of a myriad of felonies.
Finally, I'm sorry, but I do have to disagree with you, Woody188. It's sad, I know. But yes, we DO have a Representative Democracy here in USA.
It just doesn't represent the people. It represents the Democracy of 'one dollar, one vote'.
And off we go again…
PS – My first real 'What?' moment was that blood testing could find Osama bin Laden. That was preposterous. The idea that under the cover of 'blood testing' people could spy upon other people is not so surprising. Also not so surprising is that spies get caught. J.
It's my understanding they had his DNA, or in the very least, a familial match, so they could tell within like 90% accuracy that it was OBL or family members in that compound in Pakistan. OBL worked for the CIA in Afghanistan against the Soviet occupation, so they may have had his exact DNA.
Ah, yes, religious terrorist fanatics were our pals back tben.
See "Legacy of Ashes".

When Justin Bieber shows up for rehearsals to prep for his February 9 hosting gig on Saturday Night Live , he'll have the full support of at least one of the show's cast members.
Fred Armisen , who has portrayed everyone from President Obama to Saddam Hussein during his ten-year stint on the show, tells The Hollywood Reporter , "[Justin's] brilliant," and says that he has confidence in the 18-year-old's ability to do the job. "Don't forget, he acts in videos, so that's acting," adds Armisen. "Even singing and performing, that's all acting."
Armisen, who plays the drums, also admires Justin for his musical skills. "I love it because that's such a good tradition, someone who is living young and making music," he tells The Hollywood Reporter . "And he's a musician as well. He's a drummer. I will always give it up for drummers."

Nicole Crites anchors the CBS 5 Morning News weekdays from 4:30 - 7:00 a.m. You will also find her anchoring the noon and reporting throughout the week.
When she's not bringing you the latest overnight headlines and talkers, she's working other sources and stories to try and bring context to news here in the valley.
Award winning and Emmy nominated for her breaking news and feature reports, Nicole joined CBS 5 News as a general assignment reporter in December 2004. A Tucson native, she returns to Arizona from anchoring mornings and reporting for KREM, the CBS affiliate in Spokane, Wash.

Nicole worked her way up from high school intern to weekend assignment editor and reporter at KVOA in Tucson and also worked in New York City for the CBS newsmagazine, 48 Hours.
Here at CBS 5 News, Nicole broke the story about local police and firefighters abusing illegal steroids. More than challenging policy, her investigation resulted in steroids being added to the random drug screens for Phoenix officers and firefighters. She's worked the big stories, from the verdict to bankrupt the Aryan Nations to the deaths of four forest service firefighters in Washington's 30 Mile Fire and live reports from Manhattan after 9/11.
When she's not working, Nicole has her hands full with her daughter Callie and son Cayden. They are often the subject of her blogs and inspiration for her weekly MOMster Monday segments on the morning show. Oh the things kids say!
You might not guess, but Nicole is a hard core quilter. In the spare time she doesn't have since having kids, Nicole enjoys quilting baby blankets for family and friends and craft nights with other crafty mommas.

See all my reviews
Since starting to take this, I have noticed that my bp is lower. However, there is something in this formula that causes a sensitivity reaction that is not pleasant for me. As a result, I will need to find another supplement to help with my bp. For people who do not have a reaction, I think this is a good product.

"I admit it: Having you as a mother was no tea party," Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld writes. "There were some play dates I wish I'd gone to and some piano camps I wish I'd skipped. But now that I'm 18 and about to leave the tiger den, I'm glad you and Daddy raised me the way you did."
The New Yorker's Evan Osnos rounds up "three expert witnesses, each with a different combination of Chinese and American experience."
Chua's voice is that of a jovial, erudite serial killer — think Hannibal Lector — who's explaining how he's going to filet his next victim, as though it's the most self-evidently normal behavior.

Vivlamore reporting en route to Orlando.
Kyle Korver and Mike Scott will join the Hawks in Orlando Tuesday.
Korver, who has been out with back spasms, has arrived and will practice with the team in preparation for Wednesday's game against the Magic. No determination has been made on his status for the game. He has missed the past five games due to the back injury and the birth of his first child. He has not played since Nov. 28. Korver remained in Atlanta for therapy and workouts while the Hawks began the three-game road trips that ends Wednesday.
Scott, the rookie, was on his to Orlando from California where he played four games with the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League. Scott played four games with the Jam, including his best outing Monday when he had 21 points and 10 rebounds in 31 minutes. He was 7 of 9 from the floor and made all seven free-throw attempts. In his four games, Scott averaged 13.3 points and 6.0 rebounds.
The Jam do not play again until Friday. The Hawks, who also sent rookie John Jenkins to the D-League for two games, wanted to get the pair playing time as they have seen limited action in the NBA early in the season.
- Chris Vivlamore
* First place on the line vs. Heat
* Josh Smith named Player of the Week
* 3-pointers may be key to defeating Heat
* Harris not settling for jumpers
* Korver out vs. Wizards, Grizzlies

Gr8 for Korver, not so gr8 for Mike Scott (he wont see the court)

Our savior Kyle Korver is back. All is great in Hawks land. LOL
December 11th, 2012
10:55 am
"Which player has put up those stats on winning teams more frequently?"
So based on Buddy Grizzard logic, Jeff Teague is better than Kyrie Irving, and Joakim Noah is better than Kevin Love. Might well be the dumbest post ever on this blog.
December 11th, 2012
11:52 am
If they asked Korver to get on an airplane, then his back must be in pretty good shape.
With Jam not playing for a few days it sounds like Ferry decided that NBA practices/player development sessions are a better environment for Scott than D-League practices.
December 11th, 2012
12:10 pm
Scott might as well stay with the Jam b/c he is never going to get any floor time with the Hawks. Plus, the Hawks are spending good money to have the D-leaguers fly back and forth.
December 11th, 2012
12:16 pm
C-viv, what're you guys going to do in Orlando (besides practice) until tomorrow night? Do the players get to go out and have a curfew or are they stuck in their room eating room service tonight?
December 11th, 2012
12:19 pm
With Scott pattern of being a "slow starter" based his summer league and now d-league performances, his transition into the NBA as contributor might be slow and difficult. To earned consistent minutes with LD (or any NBA coach) bench players must make an immediate impact on the court. Scott as the focal point of UVA offense will have to transition into playing in short spurts off the bench which could be difficult if he is a "slow starter" which he seems to be.
December 11th, 2012

In regard to the. Houston first pick? Would he ever play ?
December 11th, 2012
1:38 pm
Rusty, draft picks are generally selected for the long-term. Free agents are signed to meet specific short-term needs.
How's Fam Melo doing for the Celtics, while they discuss bringing in Erick Dampier?
December 11th, 2012
1:39 pm
Fab Melo… not his brother Fam.

Oh and the drafted player needs to arrive with his "big boy" pants on. Which has certainly not always been the case.
December 11th, 2012
1:54 pm
I tend to agree with Samurai, why bring Scott back to continue sitting on the bench? He isnt going to get much playing time. He's not as good as Ivan or even Tolliver, let him play and continue to get confidence playing the pro game.
December 11th, 2012
2:09 pm
So, Scott has 1 good game in D League and is brought back to the NBA for no reason? We are not in need of a PF because we have Ivan that needs more minutes and even Tolliver would look better then Scott on defense. Scott should never be brought back up this year unless we start getting injuries to the the PFs.
December 11th, 2012
2:17 pm
Guys, Scott was brought back because the D-League team doesn't have another game until Friday. Would you rather see him hangout with D-Leaguers in non-game situations for 3 days or NBA pros? Maybe we should wait until the Jam are playing on a more regular bases before criticizing the decision. Since CViv made it a point to discuss the Jam's game schedule, i am assuing that factor into Ferry's decision.
December 11th, 2012
2:52 pm
Personally I'd rather see him with the D-leaguers…where he belongs.

Korver was our missing link last night against the Heat. I bet he told his wife that he would remain with her and his new baby til the Hawks lose their 1st game w/o him, esp since we were able to beat Memphis w/o him.

Dwyane Wade offered the following on hitting jumper over Josh Smith in the fourth quarter when Smith talking trash. "He was talking to me," said Wade, who after hitting the shot went back down the court nodding. "That was cool. It was all good. He didn't think I was going to make it. So I had to let him know.''
December 11th, 2012
3:17 pm
Was there any word as to why Ivan got a DNP? Miami is a perfect team for Ivan to play against, Zaza is a bad fit to play against Miami. Just imagine if Ivan played backup center last night.
December 11th, 2012
3:27 pm
I hate to constantly be spitting venom, but it drives me crazy when people start pushing players at me. Damion James, Jenkins, Mike Scott – none of those guys need playing time on this team (let alone STARTING like some of you guys are proposing). This early in the season, the Hawks are trying to showcase our pieces so we can move them at the deadline for future considerations. Maybe after the trade deadline those fellas may get some PT, but there is no point in it now. We need to be building for the future. I want long term success for this team – not rebuilding on the fly whilst constantly having "fill-in" guys playing.
December 11th, 2012
3:34 pm
I agree with those saying Scott should remain in D-League. Makes no sense to bring him to Orlando when he gets no playing time. Same can be said for Jenkins. How much practice can they get with the NBA team any way?
First work Ivan into consistent rotation minutes.
And it's not real to think they can go back to the other league as soon as there is a break in the one they are in. There has to be some level of continuity for them to perform and be evaluated.
December 11th, 2012
4:18 pm
"I never said one time that I wanted to leave Atlanta,'' Smith, whose surprising Hawks (12-6) play Wednesday at Orlando, said in an interview with FOX Sports Florida while in Miami for Monday's 101-92 loss to the Heat. "It was always rumors and things. The moves that they made (last summer) and the success that we're having, I am excited about what is going with this organization and I am considering strongly staying here. I haven't ever had any thoughts that I wanted to leave.''

Well, it's official, everyone. Chris Brown and Rihanna have broken up. In case the fact that Chris unfollowed Rihanna on Twitter wasn't clue enough for you, Chris has actually confirmed the split, saying, "Rihanna and I will always care for each other, but we have decided to amicably part ways. Please give us our privacy at this difficult time." Haha. Of course he didn't say that. This is Chris Brown we're talking! You know it's gonna be ruder than that. What he really said was:
Imma do it solo. I mean, at the end of the day, shawty doing her own thang, she on the road. It's always gonna be love. I'm a grown man, just gotta fast forward. I'm always gonna love that person. I can't be focused on wife-ing someone that young. I need to be the best Chris Brown I can be.
Isn't that touching? Are you crying yet?
Well, I don't think anyone is too surprised here. Or too upset. Rihanna, you dodged a bullet! Well, first you took the bullet and danced with it and got into bed with it and tweeted a bunch of pictures of you and it, but then you dodged it!
Hmm. Chris Brown certainly has a way with words, don't he? He can't be "focused on wife-ing someone." What does that mean exactly? I'm going to go ahead and decipher it, put it in layman's terms for y'all. "I can't be monogamous right now. I've got too many chicks hot for me." Please correct me if you know better.
Let's take a look at examples of the unique lexicon of Chris Brown:
Chris: "I'm gonna turn this whole thing on out."
Translation: "Don't mess with me, valet, I'm Chris Brown. Did you see what I did to Rihanna? And I loved her. I don't like you."
Chris: "HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That's the ultimate F!@* OFF!"
Translation: "I'd like to thank the Grammys and all of my fans for this truly humbling award."
Chris: "It's like we're still kids."
Translation: "It's like I'm still a kid. Because I refuse to grow up. Because why should I? No one can make me! Nyah!"
Chris: "Painting the way I feel today." (Accompanied by a painting of Jesus on the cross.)
Translation: "Jesus said to turn the other cheek, not to bash it. But he was wrong!"
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how long Chris and Rihanna are going to stay away from each other. At least this time the breakup seems amicable -- or at least the cops weren't called.
Do you think Chris and Rihanna are truly dunzo?

Can the moron just get at least a GED?
It doesn't sound like he's ready to settle so dunzo is for the best.
Didn't she just drop a butt load of cash on a car for him? Such a waste.
She will be posting her pathetic pics trying to piss him off and make him jealous, and he will post his pics that he is "without a care in the world", they will write a couple songs to eachother & then we will go through all of this media coverage once again.. So predictable... and such a waste of time..
They probably aren't done forevah. Whitney and Bobby (or is it Liz and Dick-I dunno, I never heard about them beating on each other) have to keep dancing that sick little dance they do a few more times. They have years and years ahead of them to do this toxic step routine of theirs.
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

WASHINGTON - Fresh off his first All-Star Game appearance, DeMar DeRozan - heading into uncharted waters as the Raptors ready for a rare playoff push - addressed his teammates following Tuesday morning shoot around.
"Each and every single game matters from here on out, especially if we want to do something special," he told them, as the third-seeded Raptors prepared to begin the unofficial second half of their season against the sixth place Washington Wizards.
"We can't take [any] nights off," he stressed. "These 30 games are going to be big and we've got to start tonight."
Message received, at least in the first of those final 30 games.
It took just over four minutes for all five Raptors' starters to get on the board. In the end, six players scored in double figures and the team's bench totaled 43 points on an impressive 18-for-26 shooting, as Toronto came away with a 103-93 win, its third in three games against the Wizards this season.
"That's what's great about our team, everybody understands their role and that's real big," said DeRozan, who had a quiet night by his recent standards, scoring 14 points. "We have anybody that can [step up], it can be anybody. If one guy's not playing well, somebody else always picks it up."
DeRozan's uplifting words were not a surprise to Dwane Casey. The Raptors' leading scorer had told his coach that he intended to make the speech on the flight to Washington the day prior.
"[I] sat with him and talked about the second half of the season, what to expect, and he said he was going to do that," Casey said. "We talked [Monday] night as a team, talked about the next 30 games, what to expect as a team. Now we've got to follow it up with action. Every team coming out is going to be gunning for him - he's achieved All-Star status - and us as a team, we're in the playoff hunt. So we've got to meet those expectations."
As a team, the Raptors were expectedly rusty early on, specifically on defence. Washington scored 27 first-quarter points, shooting 57 per cent in the frame, while Wizards All-Star John Wall had 11, matching his game total from the Raptors' last visit to Verizon Center, Toronto's 101-88 win to begin the month of January.
"It's always tough to find a rhythm when you're coming off the All-Star break," said Kyle Lowry, who vacationed in an undisclosed location this past weekend after being passed up for the All-Star Game. "It's always tough but we figured it out in the second half and third quarter, for me especially to get going a little bit."
In a matchup between two of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference - arguably the two best - Lowry connected on just two of his eight first-half attempts, scoring six points as Wall exploded for 19, making nine of 12 shots.
The Raptors' lead guard came out of intermission looking like a man on a mission, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the third, draining long jumpers, getting into the paint at will and knocking down a series of tricky step backs.
Lowry finished with a double-double, leading his team with 24 points and 10 assists and Wall was held to three points, without a single field goal, in the second half.
"I was trying to attack a little bit more," Lowry, the scorned should-be-All-Star, said of his third-quarter clinic. "That first game out of the break is always tough and I didn't want to let that be an excuse for us to lose this game."
"He took the game over in the third quarter and willed us to a win," Casey said of his point guard. "Just his aggressiveness. He attacked their feet, didn't settle for the three, got into the paint and kept attacking."
The Raptors recorded 25 assists, 17 from their point guards - Lowry and Greivis Vasquez - and shot 57 per cent on the night, holding Washington, one of the better three-point shooting teams, to 4-of-15 from beyond the arch.
Although it looked like it was going to be smooth sailing for Toronto in the third quarter, leading by as much as 20, things got interesting down the stretch when Washington turned up its defensive intensity and the Raptors quickly went ice cold.
Toronto was held without a field goal in the final 7:35 of the game, as the Wizards cut their deficit to six down but were unable to get any closer.
"We just turned the ball over way too many times against their pressure," Casey said after this team committed eight of their 15 miscues in the final frame. "That's just from rust and time off, timing, speed of the game."
The rest seemed to do wonders for the Raptors, winners of their last three games, specifically Amir Johnson, who has had over 10 days off after missing two contests with a sore right ankle. The Raptors' forward made his return off the bench, scoring 14 points and grabbing five rebounds in a spirited 25 minutes of action.
Patrick Patterson made his third straight start - scoring 10 points in 34 minutes - and should stick with the first unit for the time being as Johnson works his way back to full health, though Casey wouldn't commit to the lineup change.
The Raptors will go for the four-game sweep of Washington when the Wizards visit Toronto next week. They are now four games ahead of the Wizards and a game and a half in front of the fourth-place Chicago Bulls, Toronto's Wednesday opponent at the Air Canada Centre.
"That's a tough team," Lowry said of the Bulls, who will be well rested having arrived in Toronto Tuesday, getting the night off. "A different type of game tomorrow night. They're very defensive-minded. They've got a great coach [in Tom Thibodeau] and a very intense team, with Joakim (Noah) their All-Star. He leads the charge so we've got to match his intensity."
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Report on the 3rd East Asian Seas Congress, November 2009
The 3rd East Asian Seas Congress was held from 23-27 November 2009 in Manila, Philippines, under the theme of "Partnerships at Work: Local Implementation and Good Practices," to review progress with implementation of the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA), as well as to highlight initiatives and good practices that are being carried out in East Asia for the sustainable use of the coastal and marine resources in the region (http://pemsea.org/eascongress). Some 1,400 government officials, scientists, consultants and NGOs attended the event which was hosted by the Government of the Philippines and organized by the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA; http://pemsea.org/).
The meeting was divided into six themes, each with a number of parallel workshops to discuss topics under that theme. Under this arrangement, the Ramsar Convention Secretariat cooperated with the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity and the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau of the Government of the Philippines to organise a two-day workshop entitled 'Networking of Marine Protected Areas: Benefits, good practices, standards and next steps', under Theme 3, 'Habitat protection and Restoration and Management'. This workshop aimed to discuss the benefits of having a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the East Asian Seas region, the aims of such a network, and how it could be established and maintained.
Participants at this particular workshop first heard presentations on the 'Benefits of managing MPAs as a network', then 'Good practices in developing networks of MPAs' and finally, 'Common goals, targets and standards for partnership and collaboration'.
The benefits of having a network of MPAs on a regional level was brought out using the example of migratory sea turtles, in order to conserve the breeding, feeding and migratory sites the species depend upon throughout its life cycle, which can be located in different countries. A presentation from the Philippines then showed that on a national or local level, a network of MPAs is also important in terms of management efficiency, and the important role that local governments can have in MPA management using a 'bottom-up' approach.
The workshop then heard presentations on the effectiveness of MPA networks in the ASEAN region, as well as in Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. Whilst there were success stories from the region and from the countries, such as the political will to increase the area and number of MPAs in certain countries, MPAs were also facing problems through insufficient funding; being too small in size; having unclear boundaries; not being sufficiently representative of the area that needed to be protected; as well as suffering from conflicts between conservation and exploitation. Then whilst there are a number of regional projects to conserve important marine and coastal areas, e.g. the Sulu Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion, Bismarck Solomon Seas Ecoregion, Coral Triangle Initiative, and Lesser Sunda Ecoregion, it was felt that more could be done to improve cooperation between these projects.
The benefits from having common goals, targets and standards was highlighted using the network of coastal Ramsar sites in East Asia, whilst a presentation on gaps in the existing MPA network in East Asia brought out the need to have better representation of areas of biodiversity importance included in MPAs, and the effective management of MPAs in general.
The needs of the local communities living in and around MPAs were not forgotten in the discussions and it was stressed that benefits from any network of MPAs should not only be for the biodiversity, but also for the local communities living in and around the MPAs who are dependent for their livelihood on the resources from the MPA, and who may also be involved in the management and conservation of the site.
Although the workshop did not come to a clear set of conclusions on developing a network of MPAs in the East Asian Seas region, it was still extremely valuable in highlighting the issues that would have to be considered when setting up such a network, and workshop participants will continue to work afterwards on addressing those issues.
PEMSEA has played an increasingly important role in building and strengthening partnerships for good coastal and ocean governance in the East Asian Seas region since it began as a project in 1994. As a result of that, an agreement recognizing the legal personality of PEMSEA was signed on the last day of the congress by the eight partner nations to PEMSEA, so transforming PEMSEA into a fully-fledged international body.

Midnight tonight.
That's when the NBA's current collective bargaining agreement — the complex document that set forth the existing rules between the owners and the players — is scheduled to expire.
And, if the owners and the National Basketball Players Association don't make significant progress today in their talks and reach some kind of deadline extension, the owners are expected to impose a lockout on the players.
So, what would be the immediate impact of a lockout, especially here in Orlando?
What a lockout would change:
• Magic players would be barred from entering the team's practice facility and basketball-operations offices at Amway Center. No more workouts at the arena. No more shooting sessions. Therefore, J.J. Redick and Quentin Richardson, who have had surgeries since late-May, will have to go elsewhere to do their rehabilitation work.
• Magic employees — even head coach Stan Van Gundy and even athletic trainer Keon Weise — will not be allowed to have any contact with players. No phone calls. No face-to-face conversations. No text messages.
• Players will have to train on their own. Many already have made logistical arrangements, such as finding an available basketball court and finding people who can rebound the ball during shooting drills.
• The summer league that the Magic host each year officially will be canceled, hindering the development of young players such as rookies Justin Harper and DeAndre Liggins, who were acquired during last week's NBA draft.
• The cancellation of the summer league would have an adverse economic impact on Central Florida businesses. Seven teams travel in from out of town to participate in the league, with each team having perhaps 20 people in its traveling party. Agents, scouts from other teams and basketball executives from other teams typically attend the exhibition games. In the event of a cancellation, all of those people would have no reason to visit the Orlando area in early July; therefore, they won't be staying in local hotels, renting cars and eating in local restaurants.
• The NBA's typical free agency period, which usually begins in July, will be on indefinite hold. Teams will not be permitted to make any trades or any roster moves of any kind until a new CBA has been agreed upon and goes into effect.
What a lockout would not change:
• To the DeVos family's credit, full-time jobs within the Magic organization will be safe. The Magic have no layoffs planned for full-time employees.
• The Magic will continue to accept ticket orders for the 2011-12 season. In February, the Orlando Sentinel learned that people who buy tickets will have an option to receive refunds with interest for any canceled games if labor negotiations drag into the season. The possibility of a work stoppage apparently hasn't slowed ticket sales. The team has sold 1,200 new season tickets since the postseason ended, and the team's season-ticket base is slightly over 14,000.
• Any NBA players who are still owed money for the 2010-11 season will continue to get paid.

"We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."
A breath of fresh air from Mr. Santorum.
Meanwhile I'm thinking of a new tumblr… but I'm not sure how well "Mitt Romney is a Megalomaniacal Automaton" rolls off the tongue.
"This is a very potent weapon, if you will, for Governor Romney if he's willing to step up and take advantage of a president who is very much out of touch with the values of America."
What? Wait, I thought we were done with you. Go away, damnit. Just go away already.
Well folks, with the announcement that Santorum is suspending his campaign, the circus sideshow that is the 2012 Republican primary draws to a close. And while I don't expect Rick Santorum to stop saying horrible things any time soon, this tumblr will most likely go quiet.
Thanks to everyone who followed along on this bit of madness that has consumed right wing politics in America. I am an eternal optimist, and I hope that the political pendulum will eventually swing back the other way and bring a return to calmer, more rational, and well… more intelligent discussion to this country.
Keep holding the crazies accountable and keep your voice heard.

Welcome to the Official JET Program Website for U.S. Citizens
About the JET Program
The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program seeks to help enhance internationalization in Japan by promoting mutual understanding between Japan and other nations. The program also aims to improve foreign language education in Japan and to encourage international exchange at the local level by fostering ties between Japanese youth and foreign youth.
The objectives of the program are being achieved by offering JET Program participants, (hereinafter, participants) the opportunity to serve in local government offices as well as public and private elementary schools, junior high and senior high schools.
The program is conducted by local authorities and other organizations (hereinafter, contracting organizations) of Japan in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (hereinafter, CLAIR).
The program started in 1987 with the cooperation of the governments of the participating countries. As of July 2013, there were 4372 participants in the program from 41 countries (see Table 1).
As the JET Program has achieved an excellent reputation over the last 27 years, it is of great importance that this high level of respectability be maintained. Participants are invited to Japan as representatives of their countries. Therefore, they are expected to be responsible in all of their activities, especially those concerning the promotion of mutual understanding between nations. It is desirable that participants be adaptable and have a positive interest in Japan.
Participants are appointed by a contracting organization for a one-year period. The cost of transportation from the participants' country of origin to Japan, as well as remuneration, is funded by taxpayers of the contracting organization where the participant is employed. Because participants serve as civil servants of their contracting organizations they are required to uphold appropriate behavior. Withdrawal from the program after placement assignment or early termination of appointment shold be avoided as it greatly inconveniences contracting organizations.
Sign up for 2015 JET Email Alerts
Please note that the 2014 JET Program application is now closed. The next application cycle will begin in fall 2014 for individuals who wish to participate on the 2015 JET Program. Information and application instructions will be updated in September 2015.
