The Doctor is an alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels through all of time and space in his TARDIS. His current travel companion is Clara Oswald, though he has a long list of friends and companions who have shared journeys with him. Instead of dying, the Doctor is able to "regenerate" into a new body, taking on a new personality with each regeneration. Eleven actors, plus John Hurt, have played the Doctor thus far. This season, Peter Capaldi has been announced as the Twelfth Doctor, succeeding Matt Smith as star of Doctor Who.

I'm not Barney ... thank goodness.I'm totally loving this idea. A woman in Bristol, England was allowed to bring her therapy dog into the hospital with her -- who then stayed by her side as she gave birth. The dog, a Labrador named Barney, was allowed inside the room where the unnamed woman gave birth to a baby. Barney is a certified therapy dog and the woman got permission from higher-ups at the hospital. But some cranky non-pet-loving types are complaining about it, natch. Way to ruin everyone's fun.
Reportedly, the faithful pooch stood by and slobbered over observed the entire two-hour birth. The woman said she needed the dog there to calm her anxiety.
Hospital bosses said that permission was granted by infection control experts and that a thorough cleaning was done after the birth. But some people -- probably poor, lonely, petless people -- do not approve. Sources told The Sun:
Nurses and doctors were appalled ... This is the first time any of the hospital's staff can remember such a thing happening. They're now worried that other women will be allowed to do the same because a precedent has been set.
Oh well, boo hoo. The world would be a better place if dogs were allowed everywhere. Let 'em inside the cockpit of planes, I say. How about standing by during open heart surgery? Why not? I'm not a big dog person -- cats are my thing -- but you can't tell me dogs are any more or less germy than people. Do they eat their poop? So I've heard. But people put their noses in some strange places too.
I think this idea should be expanded. What about a delivery ward at the Humane Society? You could pick out a new pet while dealing with those pesky contractions. How about special birthing packages that allow you to push out your lil 'un in the monkey exhibit at the zoo?
There are all kinds of ideas here. I think Animal Planet needs to get on this.
Do you think a dog should be allowed in a birthing ward?

Floridamom, you said nothing wrong. You even stated that hospitals should handle certain cases. Manders just likes to fly off the handle at things sometimes. It's what she does.
Thank you, Fondue. Although my opinions can often be controversial, I do try not to be offensive.
Coles_mom, what would you do if you had a blind patient with a seeing eye dog? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just genuinely curious. The courts have already ruled that you have to accommodate service dogs and that fears or allergies are no excuse. Taxi drivers with dog phobias have been fired for not picking up blind customers with guide dogs. Conceivably you could have an ob/gyn patient with a service dog (which has stricter rules than just therapy dogs). There are ways of getting over phobias. I used to be terribly afraid of heights, but got over it with hypnosis and now it doesn't bother me at all.
It's already been to court previously, and the court set the precedence that the ADA covers their disability and need for a service dog, which supercedes your allergy. I'm not saying that's fair for people with allergies or phobias, but at the same time someone who needs a service dog needs to bring the dog everywhere they go, including possibly in the same coffee shop or dr's office or clothing store you happen to be in or as a customer where you happen to work.
YAY ... I love the idea

What is the psychology of gossipping? jealosy or satisfaction of being the source of information or mere attention seeking?

Excellent question, Sreekumar. You have touched the roots of many social evils. I consider gossip to be the primary cause of many social evils such as abuse, slander,malign, defame, rumors etc and it leads to character assassination as well. Everything starts will gossiping...something appears to us and our brain starts thinking on unnecessary things about someone and it goes to the extend that we start believeing that what our mind drew the picture actually resembles the person about whom we are thinking & and eventually we spread it (air) and with every person adding its own flavour to it when it reaches the person (about whom it was meant) it looks to him a moutain out of a mole. There are many phychology that works behind it: 1) Every mind need raw things to think about. (Mind is a unique creation og Almight God) 2) When mind explores about someone our own perceptions gets added to that information...there is a negativity in evrybody ..now this negativity starts working ...moreAnswered by Mohammed asim nehal, 28 Jan '10 03:22 pm

To gossip about others is the easiest thing in the world. So long as the result is not a great catastrophe this can go and on the other side if it acts negatively we cannot blame ourself, it is like the story of a chasing dog between the running dog. You are perfect in that when you said jealosy which is the corner stone of all the evil minded and don\'t think an attention-diversioner. In the real life sitution, we do come across such happenings where the mightiest will always be the mightiest and the mightier might try to bewilder the scenario. It is like a cinema where the attention seeking is a novel idea to gossip around to make us laugh eventhough most of the times people forget that there is a loud cry (deep inside the heart of the wounded) to finding a place for a serenity.Answered by ragu, 28 Jan '10 03:18 pm

Prepared by Meinhardt Infrastructure & Environment Group
for Environment Australia
October 2001
The Australian electrical and electronic industry is one of the largest components of Australia's material consumption, with the turnover of products increasing dramatically in recent years. Rapid advances in information technology mean that the life of many computers and peripheral materials is limited. These advances are accompanied by decreases in the cost of both purchasing new equipment and upgrading to higher performance equipment. This contributes not only to an overall growth in the number of computers purchased, but also to many units reaching the end of their productive use within a short number of years. The disposal of obsolete machines and peripheral materials is therefore expected to become more of a problem in the short to medium term, with disposed volumes likely to grow as exponentially as has the growth in use of computers.
The environmental impacts of this have been recognised by the electrical and electronic industry, which has initiated development of a national electrical and electronic product stewardship agreement. The four peak electrical associations, the Australian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association (AEEMA), the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA), the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) and the Consumer Electronics Suppliers Association (CESA), guided by an Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council (ANZECC) working group comprised of Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments and wider industry organisations, are currently developing a Product Stewardship Strategy for Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It is intended that this strategy will address all environmental loads incurred during the life of the product, including material efficiencies and recovery at end-of-life.
The National Product Stewardship Strategy is expected to include a Computer and Peripherals Annexe, focused on issues specific to computers and peripheral materials. This project has been initiated by Environment Australia, in conjunction with the AIIA, in order to provide information upon which the framework of the Computer and Peripherals Annexe can be built.
For this project, computers and peripherals are defined as:
There are numerous types of equipment that may be considered similar to computer equipment, such as those used in conjunction with computer equipment in networked environments (e.g. dumb terminals, hubs, routers, switchers, uninterrupted power supplies). For the purposes of this project, this equipment has been considered to be distinct from computers and as such not included in the study. Consumable items (such as removable storage disks and mouse pads) are also excluded from this study.
It is important to note that packaging materials encasing computer and peripheral materials are not addressed in this project. Significant volumes of cardboard, polystyrene foam and plastic are used to supply computers, printers, scanners and peripheral equipment, and this should be addressed by manufacturers as part of their product stewardship responsibilities. However the issue of used packaging materials is the subject of the National Packaging Covenant and special regulation, viz. the National Environment Protection (Used Packaging Material) Measure, and does not form part of the scope of this project.
The objective of this project is to identify opportunities for improved material use, recovery and reuse of computers and peripherals. A clear understanding of the nature and likely quantities of materials that could be available for reuse and reprocessing will provide a basis for the planning of infrastructure and program development.
This report details the outcomes of research and consultation undertaken to identify:
Stakeholders consulted during this project are detailed in Appendix E.

Excerpts from this 2014 Newton-Evans study of the world market for substation automation show some interesting trends regarding the use of Ethernet networks in substations around North America. Some of these trends include:
- Electric utilities in North America are showing increased interest in IEEE 1613 as a requirement for Ethernet switches and routers
- Single network without failover is the most frequently used Ethernet LAN architecture, and one of the most planned for Ethernet LAN architectures in substations for year end 2016 (along with "Single network with multiple paths/failover" and "Independent primary devices/network and backup devices/network."
- Roughly half of utilities surveyed do not have redundancy in substation Ethernet networks.
Although this year's sample reported a much different (lower) average number of ports than had been reported in the 2011 sample, Newton-Evans believe that there will be additional Ethernet ports installed in many North American substations by 2016.
By year end 2013, the majority of North American utilities surveyed reported that their Ethernet ports are secured. This is about the same as what was reported in 2011.
By year-end 2013 the lack of redundancy in Ethernet networks had fallen from 55% to 49%, while 35% reported use of Ring approaches and 18% used STAR approaches to provide redundancy in their Ethernet networks as shown in this chart. There were some differences in Ethernet redundancy based on type and/or size groupings. For example, among public power utilities in the sample, 48% said they use Ring topology for redundancy and only 26% claimed they do not have redundancy in their substation Ethernet.
The new study found predominant use of Rapid Spanning Tree protocol (78%) to provide redundancy in Ethernet networks. This is a significant increase over the 57% of survey respondents reporting such use in the previous study. Use of Hot Standby Router protocol (IEC 62439) was reported by 14% of the subgroup, while 10% were using Parallel Redundancy (also IEC 62439) at year-end 2013.

The analysis of the quality of shots Carmelo Anthony attempts compared to some of the other elite offensive swingmen in the league garnered quite a bit of attention and also quite a bit of feedback from readers.
First of all, I would like to simply clarify what I was attempting to convey. The efficiency with which Carmelo Anthony scores is lower than expected for a player of his skill level to the point people are beginning to question his ability. Based on my observations the gap between Carmelo and other players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant is his propensity to attempt a larger percentage of challenged shots than his fellow star scorers.
I believe I accomplished that through my study, but it was a limited and very basic look at a complex subject. Because of that I wanted to address some of the questions and comments that were posed to me.
Things were falling into place for the Denver Nuggets. Utah had dropped a game to Houston and opened the door for the Nuggets to claim the Northwest Division title and ensure the worst they would finish in the Western Conference would be third. All the Nuggets had to do was beat the San Antonio Spurs, who came into the Pepsi Center the night after losing at home to Memphis, and then beat Memphis on Monday night. Plus Kenyon Martin was making a return from a knee injury that could have potentially caused him to miss the remainder of the regular season and possibly the playoffs as well.
San Antonio had other ideas as they played a near perfect game and beat the tar out of the impotent Nuggets 104-85.
With the loss to San Antonio the Nuggets are going to have to either win in Phoenix, a game that will be their fourth in five days and the Suns will have a day of rest at home, or hope Phoenix can win in Utah on the final night of the season. Their only other hope is for Utah to lose at Golden State and I would not count on that happening.
Getting back to the game itself it was the Nuggets once potent offense that completely disappeared in the second half that allowed the Spurs to take control of the game. After a layup by Carmelo Anthony cut the Spurs' lead to six early in the fourth quarter, San Antonio rattled off 12 straight points in only 2:39. During that time the Spurs scored on seven straight possessions, that streak would reach nine before the Nuggets finally earned a stop, while the Nuggets turned the ball over four times and missed two shots. On their six possessions they threw a total of five passes and two of those five were caught by players in black jerseys.
The most disconcerting aspect of the game was how the Nuggets completely checked out mentally. The combination of frustration created by the sound defense of the Spurs and the anger they felt towards the officials was apparently too much to handle. This game was in my mind the most important contest of the season, and it was made so largely due to the fact Denver blew so many easy games early in the season, yet Denver was completely unable to rise to the occasion. The way they failed to answer the bell in the fourth quarter was very distressing.
There was a slight glimmer of good news though. Despite the fact the Spurs picked Denver's defense apart, the Nuggets actually showed significant improvement on their pick and roll defense. I am sure you will read that and scoff because the Spurs seemed to score at will. My high school coach used to say that any offense that is run correctly, will eventually earn an open shot. The pick and roll is the perfect example of that principle. A combination of a solid screen and the ball handler making sure he runs his man into the screen always creates an advantage for the offense. The Nuggets did a very good job of hedging, recovering and rotating against the Spurs pick and roll. The Spurs simply responded by executing their offense. The contrast between the motion and passing the Spurs exhibited on offense and the I-got-the-ball-so-I-better-shoot-it offense the Nuggets exhibited was very exacerbating.
I suspect there are some doubters out there regarding my claim the Nuggets improved their pick and roll defense so I put together a few clips as video evidence.
Denver still has time to get their act together for the playoffs, but I fear the way the season is playing out the most likely result for Denver will be a first round matchup against the Suns without home court advantage and that is very bad news for the Nuggets.
Additional Game 80 Nuggets
Box Score | Highlights | Featured Blog: Daily Thunder
There are certainly two ways to look at the Denver Nuggets' 98-94 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The positive view is on a night where the Nuggets were missing Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen and acting coach Adrian Dantley suffering with kidney stones and in addition to those issues Denver was struggling to execute on both ends of the court, they made the plays they needed to make and came out with a win. The pessimistic view is the Nuggets did not play winning basketball, but pulled out a victory solely because the Thunder ran out of gas due to playing their fourth game in five nights, including the night after a mentally and physically draining overtime loss in Utah.
Honestly, both of those views have some merit. With playoff positioning on the line Denver had to win this game and they did. Regardless of how winded the Thunder might have been the Nuggets still had to make the shots and come up with the stops to complete their comeback.
The Thunder appeared to take control of the game with a 26-6 run spanning the third and fourth quarters. The Nuggets were 0-14 from the floor and turned the ball over seven times during that stretch. At that point I had tagged the body and was zipping up the body bag. Oklahoma City's spurt was fueled by too few passes when the Nuggets had the ball. To make things worse, when Denver did pass, it was typically a poor decision, such as a lob by Chauncey Billlups in to Johan Petro who was being fronted on the block resulting in a travel when the help came from the weak side and on a three on one fast break J.R. Smith passed to Chauncey instead of Carmelo resulting in a easy block by Kevin Durant. (I do have to give Durant credit for how he played it. He shaded towards Melo's side to bait J.R. into passing to Chauncey, then when the pass was made he simply closed in and blocked the shot. Still, it was a three on one and all it would have taken was for J.R. to realize Durant was baiting him into passing to Billups, fake to Chauncey and then dump the ball to Melo, or after KD committed to Chauncey he could have dropped the ball to J.R. or Melo for the score.)
So how did Denver manage to get back in the game? First and foremost, the defense finally made an appearance. After falling behind 89-76 with just over seven minutes remaining the Nuggets forced four turnovers and blocked two shots in the next three minutes and Denver ran off ten straight points. The key in my mind was the help defense. For much of the game OKC players were able to drive the lane and finish without worrying about encountering resistance.
Nene did a much better job of hedging on screens. The one time he was out of position, Chauncey squeezed down and tipped the ball away from Russell Westbrook. On another occasion Nene and Chauncey trapped Westbrook in the corner. Nick Collison cut to the basket, but Melo was in perfect help position. He slid over and was able to force a jump ball, which he then won against the taller Collison.
As the Nuggets picked up steam, the Thunder had clearly lost their legs. I believe every shot Durant took in the fourth quarter was short and jumpers from Westbrook and Green consistently hit the front of the rim. Defensively for OKC, the rotations that had closed off the lane for much of the night became a half step slower.
With Kenyon and Birdman sidelined the group that pulled off the comeback was the small ball bunch consisting of Chauncey, J.R., Afflalo, Melo and Nene. Despite the height disadvantage the Nuggets outrebounded the Thunder by nine. The starting back court of Billups and Afflalo corralled 13 rebounds while Carmelo tallied 11.
Defensively, Denver was simply much more active and they did a great job communicating.
There was some good and some bad by Adrian Dantley tonight. He continues to make the stunningly bad decision to give Anthony Carter playing time instead of Ty Lawson. It blows my mind that especially after the way Lawson played against the Clippers Dantley thinks it is a good idea to play Carter. Lawson is so vastly superior Carter's stranglehold on playing time is difficult to fathom. I also thought it was odd that Petro started instead of Joey Graham. Oklahoma City plays Jeff Green at power forward so Graham would have been a good matchup to combat Green. Also, if Petro checks in for Nene you avoid the situation where your only big on the floor is Malik Allen.
Sticking with questionable decisions by the Denver coaches I was also blown away that coming out after halftime assistant Chad Iske said that the Nuggets were happy that the game had turned into a "defensive game in the second quarter" adding they wanted to slow the "young fast guys" from OKC down. The biggest advantage the Nuggets had was the fact the Thunder were playing their fourth game in five nights. Add in the fact that Denver was missing two of their three best bigs and I fail to see how a defensive half court game gave Denver the best chance to win.
Both coaching staffs engaged in a bit of a battle around Carmelo. Thabo Sefolosha is a very good defender, but he lacks the lateral quickness that other lockdown defenders possess. The Thunder gave Thabo the opportunity to try to handle Melo one on one. Melo blew by Sefolosha twice for layups and after that the Thunder switched to the pressure and pre-rotate system we have seen the Lakers make famous. For the remainder of the first half Melo was held in check. To start the second half the Nuggets made an adjustment that has worked to negate the pre-rotating defense that has been effective against the Lakers in the past. Instead of feeding Melo on the wing, they started giving him the ball in the middle of the floor. That adjustment allowed Melo to get into the lane again. The Nuggets also started curling Melo off a screen to get him the ball on the right side about 12 feet from the rim. That forced the defense to worry about Melo coming off the screen and shooting, Melo continuing to curl and drive to the basket and the fact that the screener was rolling to the rim. I thought Anthony missed some chances to dump the ball to Nene on the roll and once passed up the open short jumper to fake, spin and shoot a much more difficult turn around, but the set succeeded in getting Carmelo the ball.
I did like the play Dantley drew up with the Nuggets down four and 2:20 remaining in the contest. Afflalo threw the ball in to Billups from the right side of the floor. He then ran around a double screen by Melo and Nene. With the defense shifting to account for Afflalo Nene set a down screen for Melo who popped out to the free throw line wide open. Melo caught the pass and instead of settling for the jumper, drove into the lane and converted a short flip shot amongst four Thunder defenders. Sadly for the home team, three of those four defenders were doing more watching than helping.
With the Jazz losing in Houston tonight if the Nuggets can win their final three home games they will win the Northwest Division and have home court advantage for at least the first round of the playoffs. That is easier said than done as the Los Angeles Lakers roll into town on Thursday on three days of rest and smarting after a demoralizing loss to the Spurs in Staples Center on Sunday.
Additional Game 78 Nuggets
At this point in the season there are no moral victories. The Denver Nuggets may have given the Orlando Magic a really tough game on Sunday, but with the Nuggets now just half a game out of fifth place and facing a very difficult game in Dallas on Monday their 103-97 defeat was a costly one indeed.
Denver once again lost a game in which they held a double digit lead, the twelfth time that has happened this season, and it was all the old problems that caused the collapse. After looking very good to start the third quarter the Nuggets offense completely collapsed. A combination of bad perimeter shots and one on one over dribbling turned a 67-57 Nuggets lead into a 77-77 tie at the end of the third quarter.
From that point on the end result was just about set in stone.
While there were plenty of mental mistakes, the final 18 minutes on offense could be considered one big mental mistake, the players were able to keep the game close despite some poorly conceived strategy. When you play the Magic it is there perimeter shooting that kills you, not Dwight Howard. However, the Nuggets paid way too much attention to Howard in the post and gave up far too may open looks from behind the arc as a result. I have no problem with doubling Howard, but too often there were three or four Nuggets all paying attention to him when at this point he is not a big enough scoring threat to warrant that much respect from the defense. Orlando missed quite a few of those open looks yet they still managed to score 33 points on threes, most of which came in the second half, but it could have been much worse.
Denver played hard, they were victims of a poor plan and poor execution.
What makes things worse is I believe Adrian Dantley is hurting the team with his rotations. I praised the way he changed the course of the first game he filled in for George Karl in Minnesota, but since then things have not been quite as impressive.
The biggest problem is Anthony Carter.
Carter started the first six games of the season in place of J.R. Smith who served a seven game suspension to start the 2009-10 campaign. Even before Carter's fill in status as a started ended Lawson was clearly the number two point guard. He was clearly better than Carter and any concerns about Lawson sitting because Carter was the "scrappy veteran" had been alleviated.
So how come at this point in the season is Lawson relegated to the bench and Carter is the number two guy behind Chauncey Billups? I admit that Carter had a couple of solid games when Lawson initially injured his shoulder, but those performances are a thing of the past. What has he done to wrest the backup point guard spot from Lawson? It is absolutely inexplicable and it is costing the Nuggets wins.
The bench is clearly struggling during the current road trip, but what do you expect when you keep a talent like Lawson chained to his cushy folding chair? The degree of difficulty has already been ratcheted up with the absences of George Karl and Kenyon Martin. How does it make sense to further complicate things by benching Lawson?
If Carter is in there for his defense, he sure did a poor job of validating it. On two or three occasions he blitzed Howard in the post, but flew past him while flailing at the ball completely taking himself out of the play. I question why you would double a player Howard's size with a tiny point guard who he can easily see over, but Carter made it worse by failing to actually double. On one occasion in the fourth quarter Carter ran at Howard, and instead of getting in his face and trying to form a wall alongside the other defender, he just floated back a couple of feet so he was not guarding Howard, he was not guarding anyone else, plus he was not in a position to react to a cutter. Matt Barnes came right down the middle of the lane and made a layup thanks to Carter's odd decision to basically do nothing.
The fact is you could build a decent case against Adrian Dantley for sabotage. It does not matter if you compare Lawson and Carter aesthetically, statistically or anecdotally Lawson is unconditionally the better player.
With the Nuggets playing their fifth game in seven nights on Monday it would be a real good time to unleash a fresh Lawson on the Mavericks. The Nuggets will not advance in the playoffs without Lawson playing a significant role.

I have no idea where to start after that monstrosity.
The combination of horrific defense, staggeringly gruesome offense, conspiracy theory inducing end of game officiating and Anthony Carter was mind numbingly stupefying.
Let's get the officiating issue out of the way so we can focus on how dismal the Nuggets were. With Denver down three and 3:30 remaining in the game J.R. Smith drew a charge on David Lee. It was not a difficult call to make. As soon as you heard the PA announcer say it was Lee's sixth foul the refs pulled entered into a caucus and somehow the call was overruled because J.R. was supposedly inside the circle. During live action he seemed to be well away from the circle and replays confirmed it. If the side official was so sure J.R. was inside the circle why didn't he call it right away? Why was there even any discussion? Not only did Lee not foul out, but he made both free throws and the Nuggets were down five.
That blown call was not the reason Denver lost. They had plenty of time to get over it and failed. Still, I firmly believe that entire episode would not have happened if it was not Lee's sixth foul and as we all know perception is reality.
We do not need to spend much time on the lackluster offense. It was the typical lack of movement overkill on the jumpers. J.R. Smith was horrible as not only did he take far too many threes, although a couple came in the closing seconds of the game, but he badly forced his two point attempts as well. Also, for the second time in three games he had a possession where he missed three shots that were not repeated tip in attempts either. He then followed it up with a missed shot on the next possession.
Chauncey did a good job of attacking the rim, but conversely he launched five threes and at least three of them were terrible. Melo shot the ball well and had a good scoring night so I guess he gets a pass although most of his points came on jumpers and he only totaled two assists.
Even with all of those issues what was the most disappointing aspect of the game was Adrian Dantley's insistence on sticking with Anthony Carter. In a game where the Nuggets were too perimeter oriented and struggled to score for stretches Carter did nothing to help. Lawson would have infused better energy and provided a spark. The Nuggets are saying Carter has played well while Lawson was out and that was true for about four or five games. He has not been helpful the past four or five games and Lawson must be on the floor. If Ty does not play tomorrow in Boston it will be inexcusable.
(Another big negative on Dantley's record is that during the discussion about Lee's sixth foul he was right there next to the referees. Instead of making sure they knew there was no way they should have been even considering changing the call he was talking to Chauncey. Chauncey had come over to get involved in the conversation between the refs that included David Lee by the way telling them J.R. was definitely inside the circle. Not only did Dantley not get involved, he prevented Chauncey from counterbalancing Lee's lobbying. Not that it would have mattered, but the Nuggets needed a voice in that conversation.)
All of those things were incredibly frustrating the most infuriating aspect of the Nuggets play is their insistence on switching screens. I spent much of last season railing on utilizing switching screens as your primary defensive strategy on playing the pick and roll. I even have a switching screens tag for my posts. I guess I grew tired blogging about it, but whatever the reason I have not been as aggressive in my assessment of the Denver defense despite the fact they are doing nothing but switching screens. The Denver Nuggets are a very mediocre defensive team. No matter what stat you look at (Defensive Efficiency, Opponent FG%, Defensive Rebounds, Opponent Points per Shot) Denver is not good and the primary reason is they constantly switch screens. The only stat they crack the top ten in is steals per game and that has to be partly discounted due to the pace at which they play.
The Nuggets were a very solid defensive team last season and they were able to win games with their defense. That is not the case this season. They are an offensive team and that is that. I have been patiently waiting the Nuggets return to being at least a decent defensive team. The fact that they continue to rely on switching screens has torpedoed any hopes I had of that happening.
I could write 10,000 words on the problems that switching screens create. My two biggest issues with switching screens are you are voluntarily entering into mismatches and it fosters an environment of passivity and a complete lack of accountability.
There is a reason coaches do not assign a power forward to cover a point guard and a point guard to cover the opposing power forward. It leads to your opponent scoring. There are byproducts of this tactic. If you want to prevent the power forward from posting up the point guard or the guard from blowing by your big man, you have to help. That opens up holes all over for other offensive players to exploit.
There were plenty of examples of this happening in the loss to the Knicks, but here are two from the second quarter. Just past the halfway point in the quarter After Chris Andersen and Afflalo switched Afflalo was stuck on David Lee. Chauncey left his man Giddens, who was in the weakside corner to double. Giddens was just waiting for him to leave and cut to the rim. Carmelo was just a microsecond too late dropping down to replace Chauncey and the pass got through to Giddens for the layup.
A second example came with just over two minutes remaining in the second. Carmelo and Nene switched for absolutely no reason in the right corner leaving Melo on David Lee. Arron Afflalo, who had switched onto Al Harrington, was laying off of Harrington on the left wing. Afflalo turned his head anticipating having to help Carmelo should Lee back him into the post. Because Afflalo was so focused on the possibility of helping Melo who voluntarily switched into a mismatch, he lost track of Harrington who dove to the rim and drew a foul to prevent a layup.
The lack of accountability was evidenced late in the second quarter as well. The next possession after Harrington cut into the lane Chauncey was stuck on Gallinari, although honestly after looking at it again it was not because of a screen, Carmelo doubled and the ball was swung to the weakside. Chauncey rotated to the offside corner and Melo left Gallinari to kind of return to Duhon. The result was no one was guarding Gallinari and he cut to the basket and Nene had to foul to prevent the layup.
There are two secondary problems with switching that I cannot keep myself form touching on. First, the way the Nuggets cheat on the switches it actually opens up perimeter jumpers. The guards, instead of fighting over the screen, know they have to get behind the big to prevent the roll as a result the ball handler has all the space they want to shoot. Look at how much room the Nuggets give the ball handler on a high screen and roll. It would be so easy to step over the screen because there is frequently five feet between the ball handler and the screener. There is no pressure to force the defender into the screen and no pressure to keep the ball handler from turning the corner and blazing into the lane.
Secondly, the bigs who switch out on guards are not in the lane to box out the opposing team's bigs. For a team who is missing their best rebounder I would think your scheme would seek to keep your rebounders in the paint. The Nuggets struggle on the defensive glass and switching screens is only compounding the problem.
And oh by the way, Toney Douglas hit a easy 15 foot jumper to put the Kincks up three with 27.8 seconds left in the game thanks in large part to a switch. Nene found himself on Douglas who drove towards the rim, stopped and dribbled between his legs to get his rhythm and drilled the jumper.
This was a bad loss and it was made even worse by the way the Nuggets played. It was on March 8 of last season where the Nuggets lost a game in Sacramento and I proclaimed they would be nothing other than a first round patsy again. From that point on they finished the season on a 14-4 tear and you all remember what happened in the playoffs. This loss feels a lot like that loss did so I reserve the right to overact.
I continue to question the contention that Kenyon Martin will be able to play again this season despite the fact he is riding a stationary bike "slowly." News broke today that it was entirely possible that George Karl would miss the rest of the regular season due to his physically and emotionally draining cancer treatments.
Now add in the fact the Nuggets are bottoming out on defense, the offense has become increasingly reliant on the three point shot and acting coach Adrian Dantley would rather play Anthony Carter than Ty Lawson and they just lost the most winnable game in a five game in seven night road trip.
When Kenyon went down I commented that we had to entertain the possibility that Denver could fall out of the top four in the West and open up the playoffs on the road against a team like Phoenix or Utah. After what we saw tonight that outcome is absolutely on the table.
What is most frightening is for the second straight game Denver was out worked by a team playing on the second night of a back to back. Tomorrow they are going to be the team playing for the second night in a row against a surging Celtics team. Redemption is waiting around the corner, but I am not sure the Nuggets can capture it.

The Denver Nuggets have announced that George Karl will not join the Nuggets for the final three games of their current road trip. Adrian Dantley will coach the team through games in New Orleans, Memphis and Houston.
Karl had a feeding tube inserted into his stomach during a surgical procedure on Monday.
"I have tremendous trust in A.D. and my staff," Karl said. "I think they'll keep the team in a good place over the next few days, and hopefully I'll be ready to rejoin them when they come home next week."
I would have been shocked if Karl was able to rejoin the team for these next three games, but I was not going to put it past him trying to be there.
Dantley did a very good job in Minnesota and it will be interesting to see how he handles extended duty over the next three games.
Box Score | Highlights (make sure to see J.R.'s huge alley oop dunk at the 34 second mark)
J.R. Smith started the game missing his first two three point attempts and closed the game out missing his final five. In between those seven misses he converted three in a row during a one minute and 22 second stretch in the middle of the third quarter that sparked the Nuggets to a 110-102 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Up until J.R. converted his barrage of bombs the Nuggets had the body language of a first grader who did not get to eat the last cookie. They were walking up the floor on offense and going through the motions on defense. The Timberwolves collected seven offensive rebounds in the first quarter. Of course, they missed 19 of the 27 shots they attempted, but it allowed them to stay in the game.
Even after coming out of halftime down five against a team that had lost 12 of their last 13 games the Nuggets were playing as if they had nothing to gain from winning. Rarely can a game swing as quickly as this one did. The Wolves did not fold as they were able to get back to within six points in the fourth quarter, but starting with J.R.'s first made three pointer the Nuggets went on a 28-9 run and the Nuggets were never in serious danger of losing.
Apart from Denver finally getting it together in the second half and winning a game they absolutely should have won we had our first chance to really see Adrian Dantley tested as a coach. I had never developed a feel for how he would react to adversity or what kind of coach he could be. Tonight's game presented an opportunity to see exactly what Dantley could do.
There are little things coaches do during games such as encourage players, provide insight and direction, but we all know for the most part it is a players' league. Much of the strategy comes before the games in the shootaround. At that point the game plan is set and the players know well before the game starts how they are supposed to defend a certain set or what to do in the pick and roll. Once the game begins those pregame strategies rarely go away. Come tipoff coaches need to keep the right mix of players on the floor, call for slight alterations to the game plan and not botch the end of close games.
I thought Dantley did an excellent job of rotating his players and he forced Kurt Rambis' hand and I thought the way the rotations played out were a big key for the Nuggets. George Karl has a very tightly set rotation when he is coaching with a full complement of players. J.R. checks in for Afflalo midway through the first quarter. Nene comes out with about four minutes or so left in the first. Melo will usually depart late in the first although it is not abnormal to see him play into the second. Chauncey comes out after the first quarter is over and Kenyon typically plays a couple of minutes into the second quarter before Nene checks back in to give him a break. Melo, Chauncey and Kenyon rest for a few minutes and then return. The second half can go differently depending on what is going on in the fourth quarter situation wise and foul trouble can mix things up, but you can usually tell who is coming or going based on what the clock says.
Tonight Dantley did not have the good fortune of running Karl's regimented rotations because of the absence of Kenyon and Lawson. On one hand Anthony Carter can fill Lawson's minutes, but dealing with Kenyon's absence is a much bigger problem.
Johan Petro was in the starting lineup for the second straight game and I agreed wholeheartedly with that decision as Denver needed his size to combat the offensive rebounding abilities the Wolves possess. Of course you may remember from earlier in this post that the Wolves killed the Nuggets on the offensive glass in the first quarter so I do not think you can say Petro did his job as well as he should have, but starting him was the right decision.
I was wondering how they would handle the big man rotations without Kenyon. Dantley's answer, certainly with input from Coach Karl and the rest of the staff, was to have Nene fill Kenyon's role as he played the first 14 plus minutes of the game. I am not sure if Nene played a stretch that long all season, but he handled it well. Chris Andersen entered the game at his regular time in the first quarter for Petro and Malik Allen came in for Nene and then Nene spelled Birdman with five minutes left in the second quarter which gave Andersen a slightly longer stint that usual and Nene slightly less rest than he typically receives.
The truly interesting moves came in the third quarter. With the Nuggets struggling to score Dantley called on J.R. to replace Petro, going small and forcing Melo to play power forward, which he has not done much of the past couple of seasons. Birdman checked in for Nene a short time later preventing Nene from having to play the full third quarter and Anthony Carter entered the game for Afflalo at the point where J.R. would usually enter the game. The result was a small lineup of Billups, Carter, Smith, Melo and Birdman.
Not coincidentally these substitutions coincided with the turning point of the game. The Nuggets outscored the Timberwolves by seven points and Kurt Rambis responded by pulling both Al Jefferson and Kevin Love out of the game at the same time with 3:35 left in the third quarter. At that point the Wolves were up 69-68. Three minutes and 35 seconds later at the end of the quarter the Nuggets were up 79-72.
Dantley took a risk with the lineup he threw out there, but it was Rambis who blinked and responded to a little run by pulling his two best players out of the game. Love was clearly overmatched trying to guard Melo on the perimeter, but Melo was dealing with a similar mismatch in the lane at the other end, although he did manage to steal a couple of entry passes when Love failed to hold his position.
Not only did the small ball lineup get the Wolves to change tactics, but it helped get the Nuggets running and they were able to get some easy buckets. I was incredibly impressed with the way Dantley handled his rotations, see the game flow here, and I think he did a great job in the second half of forcing Denver to change how they were playing and in turn he forced Rambis to make a bad decision. I do not think there is a coincidence between the fact Love only played 3:38 in the third quarter and the fact Denver outscored Minnesota 31-19 in that quarter.
Overall, the Nuggets won a game that was not a must win game, but a must not lose game, I finally have an opinion of Adrian Dantley as a coach and it is a positive one, but I do have concerns about how this team will handle the absence of Kenyon Martin and with the thought in the back of their head that their coach is struggling with something much more serious than basketball. If the first two and a half quarters of the game in Minnesota is an indication, we might be in for a long month as it certainly did not look like they were pulling any motivation from their circumstances.

We've got a couple great pieces today exploring the link between culture and the Tuscon massacre. First is a piece from PopMatters, What 'Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle Can - and Can't — Tell Us About What Happened in Tuscon, which explores how alienation and loneliness can exacerbate madness. And its companion piece, Tuscon, How Culture Can Shape Killers, touches on Bickle, too, but puts his specter in context of other assassins through history.

John Rivera Sedlar literally wrote the book on Modern Southwest Cuisine, and the nation's top food writers agree that no other chef can compare to him. Gourmet magazine declared him "The father of modern Southwest cuisine," as did Food Arts, which lauded him for "updating, upgrading and celebrating the foods of his Hispanic heritage." "Genius or madman?" asked Los Angeles Times food editor Laurie Ochoa. No less an authority than Craig Claiborne of the New York Times opted for the former assessment, calling Sedlar "one of America's treasures, a genius in the kitchen."
Sedlar grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and in his early 20s gained acclaim as a chef in the South Bay region of Southern California. He then apprenticed himself to legendary French chef Jean Bertranou of L'Ermitage in Los Angeles, mastering classic techniques while evolving his own approach to food.
While cooking at his own first restaurant, Saint Estephe, Sedlar began to combine the traditional food of his childhood with the classic French techniques he had learned, developing what he termed "Modern Southwest Cuisine." Soon, Bon Appetit magazine called the restaurant "among the very best in California, or even the West." Sedlar never looked back-- except for more inspiration from his homeland. He went on to combine the best of the world's culinary influences at Bikini, a stunning Los Angeles restaurant he opened in 1991 to rave reviews, followed three years later by the equally well-received Abiquiu.
Sedlar sold the restaurants following the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake so that he could focus 100% on one of his lifelong dreams of building a bood company to supply the home cook with dishes and ingredients from the Southwest. In 1999 he established Abiquiu Foods, LLC, which operates Sedlar's Modern Southwest Kitchen, a collection of contemporary tamales, chile rellenos, taco shells and condiments. Some of the products are currently for sale in Bristol Farms and Neiman Marcus, Beverly Hills.
Sedlar is also a top-notch restaurant consultant, as well as making personal appearances and creating special menus for such organizations as the California Culinary Academy, the James Beard Foundation, Twentieth Century Fox, the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation and Walt Disney Imagineering. Through such work, he has traveled literally around the globe, including professional visits to Italy, Russia, China, Chile and Japan.
Sedlar is the author of Modern Southwest Cuisine (Ten Speed Press, 1994), The Great Chile Relleno Cookbook (Ten Speed Press, 2000), the Tamale Poster (Ten Speed Press), and co-author of Tamales (Macmillan, 1998). He is the host of the video, Tamale Madness (American Videogroup, 1998). He has made frequent television appearances on such programs as "The Today Show," "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," "CBS This Morning," the CNN Network, and the Television Food Network.
His awards and recognition include a listing on The Cook's Magazine Top 50 Who's Who of Cooking in America; and a place on Food & Wine magazine's Honor Roll of American Chefs. In September 1995 he received the Silver Spoon Award from Food Arts magazine, becoming the youngest chef ever to garner that distinction.
"Nobody makes a tamale quite like Sedlar." Ruth Reichl NY Times
"John Sedlar, one of American Cuisine's true innovators, was the first to bring modern Southwest cooking to the forefront. His style is fresh and audacious and there's no better representation of that style than his 'cutting edge' tamales. In short, Mr. Sedlar is the Tamale King of the World!" Stephen Pyles Chef, Author and Host of the PBS series "New Tastes from Texas"
"Sedlar is The Tamale King." Mark Miller Chef, Author
"If you want to know the latest in tamales, talk to the king: John Rivera Sedlar. His colleagues crowned him so for good reason. He has created hundreds of them." Rebecca Roybal Alburquerque Journal
"Sedlar is the country's best tamale chef & the undisputed king of the cuisine." Lisa Messinger Copley Press
"The father of modern Southwest Cuisine." Gourmet Magazine
"Genius or madman?" Laurie Ochoa LA Times

"I came across your site sometime last year and took your recommendations for my mom who has diabetes and was complaining of a constant throbbing in her left arm above her elbow.
I got the serrapeptase and she used it and after a couple of weeks she found much relief.
My sister in Canada also used it for a painful lump under her right arm. After using a bottle of serrapeptase she felt a lot better!
I recently got it for a lady (70 yrs) with breast cancer. She has had a hard mass in her right breast from working with chemicals for many years. She has been using Arimidex and started the serrapeptase 40,000IU taking 2 a day.
There is lots of inflammation in her breast since it has become a hard mass. On a daily basis the fluid would drain off, sometimes with a bit of blood. After weeks of Arimidex only a very tiny area to the top started to dry up. Thank you so much for all your info and also thanks for answering my request."
