Best Western Introduces Dinosaur-Themed Hotel

LAKEWOOD, CO—Best Western International debuted the Best Western Denver Southwest, which recently underwent a $4-million renovation. Located near Dinosaur Ridge, an active site where fossils have been unearthed, the 112-room hotel situated here now includes a natural history museum dedicated to dinosaurs.
"We wanted this to be a one of a kind, immersive experience that feels like you've entered an old explorer's club and a storied natural history museum," stated Greg Tally, co-owner of Best Western Denver Southwest. Meredith Tally, co-owner of the hotel, added, "Guests at our hotel will feel like they've stepped back in time, without sacrificing the modern amenities they've come to expect from a Best Western property."
The inside of the hotel includes dinosaur skulls, interactive fossil tables, classic dinosaur artwork and facts about the study of dinosaurs. Outside the property, a life-sized stegosaurus statue named Stanley serves as the hotel's official mascot.
The owners partnered with paleontology experts from across the country, including several from the nearby Morrison Natural History Museum. To create a classic museum feel, millworkers pulled pieces from an early 20th century bank lobby and used them to rebuild the hotel lobby with an antique fireplace, mahogany and pine paneling and louvered glass bookcases. The space also features a marble floor, overstuffed leather furniture and coffee table created from a vintage steam trunk.
"The renovations at the Best Western Denver Southwest really epitomize the independent spirit of Best Western and the commitment to creating a unique experience for our guests," stated Ron Pohl, Best Western SVP brand management & member services. "We take pride in giving our hoteliers the freedom and support to make their design dreams a reality and you can see the personal passion that the Tally's put into making this a one of a kind hotel."
The Best Western Denver Southwest is located near other paleontological attractions, including Morrison Natural History Museum, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Triceratops Trail.

Rising Sung
You may know Sung Hi Lee from playing a wild and sexy porn star in The Girl Next Door. We know her after conducting this interview over the phone. We'd love to have done it in person, but she has two really big dogs and we're pussies. (That means cat people, right?)
By Gene Newman
STUFF: What kind of research did you do to play a porn star in The Girl Next Door?
SUNG: I did another film called This Girl's Life, where I played a porn star and had to do some porn research.
We're very, very familiar with that sort of research.
I'll bet. [Laughs] I spent time watching porn, checking out online porn.
Where could you possibly find any porn online?
I know, it's really difficult nowadays.
Did you hang out with any porn stars?
Not really hung out, but met them through mutual friends and at events. People have a negative perception of them, most of which is untrue. I'm also familiar with those same unfair stereotypes because I worked with Playboy. But I met some that were nice and smart and some that just depend on how they look to get by.
Amen, sister! Ever dated a next-door neighbor? Just so you know, ours moved out, and we hear the rent's very reasonable.
[Laughs] I haven't. I did date someone that lived a couple of doors down, but never next door.
Would you consider yourself a girl next door?
Absolutely! A lot of girls say it, but I really feel like I'm one of the boys. I'm a huge boxing and mixed martial arts fan. I'm also all about comfort. Just hanging out and wearing jeans or sweats. It's fun to be a girl, and get dressed up, but that's not how I really am.
In a pivotal GND scene, you give Amanda Swisten a deep kiss. How many takes did you have to do?
I think around three or four. But it had more to do with the cramped space [in the limo] and getting everyone in the shot, rather than a desire to keep kissing. Not to say that she's isn't beautiful or fun to kiss.
How much tongue was involved?
Soft, light tongue, but no deep throat.
Awww, so romantic. We were looking over your massive Web site and realized we have something in common with you: We also hate people with weak handshakes.
It's horrible! Couldn't those types of people pretend that they care about meeting you? It's just so arrogant and high and mighty.
How much time do you spend online?
Up until a year ago, I answered every e-mail that was sent to me. But I got really busy with work. Plus I want to try and have some sort of personal life. Now, rather than respond to e-mails, I have weekly online chats.
What's the creepiest e-mail you've gotten recently? Let us clarify first: one that didn't involve getting your penis enlarged.
There's one particular person that won't take no for an answer, and he's always asking me out and wants to meet at these specific locations. He's also an actor and I've run into him at castings and he won't leave me alone.
Is it Charlie Sheen?
No! [Laughs] But this guy makes me feel a little nervous. I'm just happy that I have two big dogs.
What kind?
A black and silver 115-pound German shepherd named Rom and a 120-pounder that looks like the dog from Turner & Hooch.
Did he come with Tom Hanks?
[Laughs] No, but he's superaffectionate.
Just like Hanks! Would you consider yourself a nerd?
I try to make it sound nicer by saying that I'm a dork. I'm just a big homebody and love word games like Scrabble and Boggle.
Tell us where we can see more of you.
I'm in a movie called Death to the Supermodels, which is like a girl version of Zoolander. It's about a magazine that brings five supermodels to an island and they start getting killed one by one. I play Hoo-Chi, the first 5'4" supermodel.
You're 5'4"? But you were towering over those guys in The Girl Next Door.
That's because I was wearing six-inch hooker shoes.
Ah, now that's comfort!
The Girl Next Door: Unrated is currently out on DVD, and it's saucy! You can also check out more of the lovely Sung Hi Lee at her official site.

A top wish for 2008
Return to winning ways. Get healthy. Develop Daric Barton and Carlos Gonzalez into stars. Worthy goals all. But control over them isn't solely in the hands of A's management. So here's a top wish for 2008 that the team should be able to accomplish without needing any luck. Sign at least one high-potential shortstop. The […] [Read More]
The Corey Brown selection
At first glance, it's hard to see how the A's landed Corey Brown with the 59th pick in the MLB draft yesterday. The outfielder from Oklahoma State "ranks at or near the top of almost every offensive category in the Big 12 and is hitting .339 with 21 home runs, 70 RBIs and 23 stolen […] [Read More]

Cape Cod Baseball Simmons Sticking with their penchant for drafting college players in the first round, the A's chose UC Riverside's James Simmons with the 26th overall selection in Thursday's draft.

Buck not quite ready to stop here
From A's beat writer Susan Slusser in Phoenix: Lots of action going on today — the A's have split squad games against the Giants and the Angels, and coming up later, they'll have their first cuts of the spring, with 10 or 11 players moving over to the minor-league camp. With two games today, the […] [Read More]
A measure of compensation
One big sigh of relief. The new MLB-players association agreement retains, slightly modified, the system of compensating teams that have lost top free agents with draft picks.

• Slovakia's first UEFA Champions League representatives, 1. FC Kosice, became the first side to fail to pick up a single point during their group stage campaign, scoring two goals in six outings.
• Four matches drew crowds of 100,000: FC Dynamo Kyiv's home games against Newcastle United FC, Barcelona and Juventus, and the first leg of the Real Madrid CF-Borussia Dortmund semi-final.
• At 17 years and 195 days, Peter Ofori-Quaye became the UEFA Champions League's youngest scorer when he struck Olympiacos FC's consolation in a 5-1 group-stage loss away to Rosenborg BK.
Newcastle United FC announced their arrival on European club football's biggest stage in dramatic fashion with a rousing 3-2 victory against FC Barcelona crowned by a Faustino Asprilla hat-trick.
Urged on by an animated St James's Park, alive to its first ever UEFA Champions League tie, Asprilla rattled off three goals inside the opening 47 minutes for a rampant Newcastle. It left Barcelona, boasting a star-studded lineup including Rivaldo, Luis Enrique and Luís Figo, in a state of shock but the Spanish titleholders threatened a late recovery in a grandstand finish.
For a long time it was all about Asprilla. The Colombia striker began as he meant to go on, drawing an early free-kick from Michael Reiziger with his dazzling footwork, and then exchanging passes with John Barnes, who put Jon Dahl Tomasson through for a chance that went wide.
Tomasson soon returned the compliment, playing Asprilla in on goal midway through the first half with a slide-rule pass the forward reached before goalkeeper Ruud Hesp. The forward tumbled under the challenge and Pierluigi Collina pointed to the spot; the 27-year-old converted the penalty himself.
Not content with preserving their advantage, Kenny Dalglish's side continued to press and doubled their lead just past the half-hour mark with a goal of beautiful simplicity. Keith Gillespie hared down the right and curled a perfect cross for Asprilla to attack at the near post with a thumping header.
Four minutes into the second half the hosts were three up, Gillespie again leaving Sergi in his wake before dispatching another centre for Asprilla to head in for his hat-trick – and customary cartwheel. The visitors could contain neither Gillespie nor Asprilla and the pair combined again soon after; Hesp denied the South American a fourth.
Gradually, though the Azulgrana stirred to life, Miguel Ángel Vidal forcing Shay Given to tip over, before a neat move involving Rivaldo and Figo was turned in at close range by Luis Enrique on 73 minutes. The Newcastle goalkeeper thwarted Rivaldo after a sumptuous turn and shot by the Brazilian, who then curled a free-kick against the bar.
With a minute to go Given fumbled a corner which Warren Barton could only clear as far as Figo, who fired it back through a crowded penalty area to make for a tense finale. But the rally was too little, too late – this was Newcastle and Asprilla's night. He never scored for the side again.
As unpredictable off the field as he was on it, Asprilla was a forward of rare talent. Fleet-footed, languid and skilful, he won the 1993 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, two UEFA Cups and a UEFA Super Cup in two stints at Parma FC and endeared himself to Newcastle Untied FC fans with a UEFA Champions League hat-trick against FC Barcelona. 'Tino' also scored 20 goals in 56 appearances for Colombia.
One of an elite club of players to represent both Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona, Luis Enrique was a diminutive, prolific midfielder who scored 100 club goals, winning the Liga title and the Copa del Rey with Madrid before doubling that tally in an eight-year spell at the Camp Nou. The Spain captain also lifted the 1996/97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and was capped 62 times before switching to coaching.
The leader of Portugal's golden generation, Figo was a mainstay of the national side for 15 years. A product of the Sporting Clube de Portugal academy, he enjoyed great success at FC Barcelona and it took a world-record transfer to lure him to Real Madrid CF in 2000. More titles followed, including the Ballon d'Or and 2002 UEFA Champions League, before Figo ended his career at FC Internazionale Milano, winning the Scudetto in each of his four seasons in Italy.
• Newcastle United FC's promising start to their debut UEFA Champions League campaign faltered thereafter, their next win arriving in the final group game against FC Dynamo Kyiv as the Magpies finished third.
• FC Barcelona fared even worse, finishing bottom of Group B despite beating Newcastle 1-0 at the Camp Nou. Heavy defeats by Andriy Shevchenko-inspired Dynamo, 4-0 at home, proved particularly damaging.
• Dynamo bowed out in the quarter-finals against Juventus, one of two teams to advance from the group stage as best runners-up. The Italian side went all the way to the final where they lost to Real Madrid CF.
• Newcastle finished 13th in the Premier League but did reach the FA Cup final, losing 2-0 to Arsenal FC. Twelve months later Manchester United FC brought more disappointment in the Wembley showpiece.
• Barcelona rallied from European disappointment to win the Spanish league and Cup double and retained the Liga in 1999, their centenary year, when Rivaldo was voted European Footballer of the Year.

This is a fantastic and unusual alternative to the same old summer salads. Took this to a potluck and everyone went crazy over it.
Grilled Sweet Potato and Napa Cabbage Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

sprky182 Posted: 08/22/12
This was very fresh and filling. An unexpected flavor combo that really works.
H2OQueen Posted: 01/05/13
The flavors were outstanding! Very easy recipe and very healthy. I roasted the sweet potatoes just because I was already roasting vegetables for the week's meals. Worked well - I will definitely make this again.
Suzontheridge Posted: 02/18/13
Tried this recipe to use up some leftover napa cabbage. It is very yummy, I would try adding some avocado to the salad next time just for a change. I was worried about putting in a whole jalapeno pepper but you could hardly taste it so no problem. A nice change for sweet potatoes.
heberhart Posted: 07/19/12
Very fresh! a great salad. Sweet potatoes gave it a wonderful texture. Will definitely make this again
kayakGirl21 Posted: 09/13/12
OMG - so good, a flavor explosion in my mouth. Wasn't sure what to make with it since it seemed like it wouldn't be enough on it's own but also would be so strong in flavors that I wasn't sure what would compliment it. Ended up grilling up some thick cut bone-in Pork chops just seasoned with Salt & Pepper and it was the perfect meal. My husband and I finished the salad with just the two of us because it tasted so good we just couldn't stop eating it.
abbyandchris Posted: 07/02/13
Great weeknight meal. It is easy to get everything else mixed with the sweet potato is on the grill. Filling and delicious. Use the hot sauce as recommended, so it was spicy - loved that! Will def. make again and again
mja489 Posted: 02/15/14
loved this. We gilled the sweet potato on a weber with wood coals. The flavor was fantastic. It took a little longer than suggested in the recipe, but it wasn't a very hot fire. Served with some sausages we got at the farmer's market and a baguette. Great meal.
jazzwood Posted: 10/31/13
Wow! A terrific salad! I cut the two pounds peeled sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch "fries"; tossed with the oil, salt, and pepper; roasted the sweet potatoes on a jelly roll pan in a 425 degree oven for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Then I prepared half the recipe as there were just two of us. I used toasted pine nuts instead of the pumpkin seeds. It was so good my husband asked that I make it again the following night as the sweet potatoes were roasted. Finally, he asked if I would prepare it putting the dressing in a separate container so he could take it to work and share with his staff.
bjane1 Posted: 10/14/13
Enjoyed this salad but the jalapeño gave it a bitter taste. Will try again without the jalapeno and re-evaluate.

Place of Birth
In one of the more awkward moments at the hall of fame, Mr T had his induction speech cut short when WWE sent out Kane. The A-Team star took to Twitter to vent a bit about the situation, where he stated that his speech really wasn't too long at all. He reiterated that his mother told him to stand up for what he believed in and has vowed to post the remainder of his speech online somewhere.
April 10, 2014
Upon hearing about the death of Big Daddy V, who passed away after suffering a massive heart attack days after his birthday, Kane took to Twitter to post this simple message about his friend. It's a rather interesting Tweet, as Kane does not post all that often on the social media website.
February 21, 2014
Kane visited the WWE performance center for the very first time.
November 21, 2013
To promote his new story line of turning corporate, Kane has started to use his Twitter account more frequently
November 4, 2013
Since he abruptly retired from professional wrestling, Charlie Haas has been relatively quiet. He abandoned his Twitter account, and he only appeared sporadically at obscure independent wrestling shows in Texas. The former WWE star is making a little comeback in November, though. He will be teaming up with Shelton Benjamin for a Jersey All Pro show in Rahway, New Jersey.
September 18, 2014
Through his Twitter account, Ryback revealed to fans that it has now been 18 days since his surgery, and he has been recovering extremely well from his still unknown injury, which is rumored to involve his groin. He should be making a return to WWE very soon, as he is now pain free. He might not be rushed back, though, as management really doesn't have a story ready for him.
September 15, 2014
A message on Twitter from Kevin Nash about the death of his former WCW protege Sean OHaire.
September 10, 2014
A message on Twitter from Lance Storm about the death of Sean OHaire.
September 10, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Scotty Riggs, where the former WCW star states that Sean OHaire has passed away.
September 9, 2014
When you're a top star for WWE, you lose a good amount of privacy. Fans want in on your private life. Having done the job for years, CM Punk was already well aware of this. However, it reared its ugly nose in his life again this week. A photo from his wedding with AJ Lee was leaked online, and that thoroughly upset Punk. He even posted a message on Twitter about the matter.
September 1, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Diamond Dallas Page, where he provides an update on the condition of Jake Roberts.
August 28, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Kizarny, where the former WWE star provides us with an update on Jake Roberts, who passed out on an airplane and has been unconscious at a Las Vegas hospital since then.
August 28, 2014
There was a little bit of a buzz earlier in the week when Ryback posted a message about taking time off from WWE. It escalated a bit further when he deleted the comment from Twitter, which is something that he has done several times in the past. It has now been confirmed that he suffered some sort of injury and will be needing a few weeks off of the road to recover.
August 27, 2014
After finishing off his commitments, Kevin Steen has now officially reported for duty with WWE. The former ROH champion posted on Twitter that it was his first day at the WWE Performance Center. While he is viewed as one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit, the belief is that management will keep him in developmental, so he can simplify his in ring style to suit the audience.
August 25, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Velvet Sky is going to be leaving TNA soon. However, the speculations stem from an overreaction to something that might really be insignificant. The Knockout changed her profile biography on Twitter. She removed TNA from there and replaced it with other words, as there is a word limit set on the biography. As of right now, her departure from the company is far from confirmed.
August 25, 2014
A post from Twitter, where JBL mocks Shelton Benjamin by taking a picture of Rico Constantino, who is visiting Monday Night Raw today, and stating that Constantino is the best tag team partner that Charlie Haas has ever had in WWE.
August 18, 2014
Back in July, Austin Aries decided to go silent on Twitter because he was protesting the decision by TNA to allow fans to vote on the return of the six sided ring. For those that are wondering, the X Division Champion has already came back to the social media website. He has been posting regularly. Aries is even promoting Impact Wrestling on there, so it looks like he's back on good terms with the company.
August 16, 2014
A post on Twitter from Tommy Dreamer, where he praises MVP for getting involved in the protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
August 16, 2014
The speculation right now is that the stable of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston has been disbanded since WWE has not been utilizing them much on television. Those rumors appear to be true as Woods addressed those rumors through his Twitter account. He stated that he is not currently involved in a group. Woods also mentioned that he would much rather use intelligence as a weapon in a stable as opposed to race.
August 15, 2014
A Twitter post from former WWE star Kevin Nash where he jokes about trying to do a Vulcan mind meld with Brock Lesnar to let him know that he is only back on Monday Night Raw for the beers and not looking for a fight.
August 14, 2014
While there are uncertainty as to whether or not Alberto Del Rio is under the 90 day no compete clause with WWE since he is rumored to be appearing at the big AAA pay per view this weekend, we now know that Ricardo Rodriguez cannot make an appearance for a television promotion. He informed fans via Twitter that he would not be able to make an appearance at TripleMania this upcoming Sunday.
August 12, 2014
Long known as someone that was not afraid to reveal things about the industry, Konnan recently took a shot at Layla El on Twitter. He told fans that the WWE diva was really difficult to work with. Konnan explained that he does not have personal beef with Layla. He is simply repeating what his friends within the company have said to him. Konnan specifically mentioned that the trainers have a dislike for Layla.
August 11, 2014
When reports initially surfaced that Alberto Del Rio was given a release from WWE, a lot of fans sided with the company. When word got out that it involved something potential racist, people started to switch sides. Del Rio has been picking up a lot of support on social media websites. It has even gotten to the point where the former world heavyweight champion became a Twitter trend on Saturday evening.
August 9, 2014
It looks like Randy Orton still has a bit of the acting bug. The WWE star informed his fan through Twitter that he was working on a deal to star in another movie. Orton also revealed that they were in the early stages, so he cannot provide much details at the moment. Once the film starts production, it is expected that the former world heavyweight champion will miss some television time for WWE.
August 6, 2014
A Shield reunion could be taking place as soon as Night of Champions 2014. Unfortunately, though, the trio will not be on the same side. There are talks now that instead of doing a singles match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, WWE could opt to go with a tag team match. Dean Ambrose would make his return and team up with Reigns against the team of Rollins and Kane.
August 26, 2014
Expect to hear plenty of comparisons between Dean Ambrose and Steve Austin over the next couple of months. WWE is having the former Shield member take elements of the Austin character in an attempt to win over even more fans. While it was not shown on Monday Night Raw, the company is doing a story where Ambrose refused medical attention after being severely injured by Kane and Seth Rollins.
August 21, 2014
After 17 years of portraying the character, Kane might be receiving a new gimmick soon. Rumors have been floating around that he might be bringing the Jacob Goodnight character from the See No Evil movie series to WWE television. The belief is that management wanted to make it easier to promote the film. Some feel that the story line started when Kane handed over his mask to Stephanie McMahon on the last episode of Monday Night Raw.
August 7, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.
July 1, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Thanks to the help of Kane, Seth Rollins was able to climb the ladder uninterrupted and win the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. The Big Red Monster came to the ring and attacked Dean Ambrose to clear the path. Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Rob Van Dam were all laid out on the floor during the finale. WWE power couple Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came out afterwards to congratulate Rollins.
June 29, 2014
A somewhat interesting thing took place backstage at Monday Night Raw this week. Naomi Knight took a picture of herself with Kevin Hart and uploaded it to Instagram. However, the WWE diva made the mistake of including John Cena and Kane, who are fighting in the story line, in the background. Luckily, she was able to remove and edit the photo before management caught on.
June 17, 2014
Ever since it happened on Monday Night Raw, WWE fans have been raving about the Seth Rollins heel turn because it was considered a surprise to many. The reason for that, however, is because it was a surprise to those backstage as well. The script for the show did not include that segment initially. John Cena and Kane were supposed to be in the final spot, but WWE quickly changed their minds and had Rollins turn on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns instead.
June 4, 2014
It looks like WWE wants to promote Roman Reigns as a top star during the upcoming tour of Japan. Management is booking him in singles matches against Kane, a performer that Japanese fans are aware of. Reigns will more than likely be going over in those bouts. WWE is also booking Reigns for a tag team match with John Cena during the tour as well, which should give him a little more credibility with the overseas fans.

On Monday Night Raw this week, Brad Maddox was called out by Stephanie McMahon, Kane and Triple H. He was attacked and fired as the general manager of Monday Night Raw. That has led to plenty of rumors and speculations about his future with the company. As of right now, Maddox is still employed by WWE and this is simply just a story line.

As many already know, Daniel Bryan will be having neck surgery on Thursday, so he was removed from the tour of Europe that WWE is currently doing. The world heavyweight champion was supposed to headline one side of the tour, so management is scrambling to readjust the shows. Kane was originally supposed to have been working with Bryan, but a new main event is needed now.
May 14, 2014
Shortly after he announced on Monday Night Raw that he was taking time off to have surgery, rumors sprung up that Daniel Bryan did a lot of damage to his neck by doing the flying headbutt off of the forklift on Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. Some within WWE are denying that by saying that the neck was damaged by years of working a stiff style on the independent wrestling circuit.
May 14, 2014
Since Kane is scheduled to be working a Buried Alive match against Daniel Bryan at Payback 2014, rumors are floating around that this could be how WWE writes the Big Red Machine out of the story line for a couple of weeks. Something big has to happen to put Bryan over, so Kane will most likely take the fall and be removed from television.
May 7, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella running away from Kane backstage. WWE is building towards a Buried Alive match between the two at Payback 2014, so the story line will be continued.
May 6, 2014
Since Kane was booked so strong in defeat at Extreme Rules 2014, rumors immediately spread that the veteran was going to be receiving a rematch against Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Payback 2014. Those rumors may be proven to be true really quick, as management is said to be leaning towards doing a Buried Alive match between the two.
May 5, 2014
At the end of the Extreme Rules 2014 main event, WWE fans witnessed Kane being put through a burning table, which he actually set up himself, by Daniel Bryan. Aside from giving Bryan a highlight, WWE also went with this route, in order to keep Kane strong in defeat. There are talks that a rematch could take place at Payback 2014.
May 5, 2014
WWE wanted to have a really visually memorable moment for Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules 2014, so the decision was made over the weekend to utilize a forklift backstage and in the arena. The heavyweight champion used the vehicle to cart Kane back to the ring. Bryan also used it as a platform for his flying headbutt finisher, which Kane kicked out of.
May 5, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
To give you an idea of just how predictable many believe the match between Daniel Bryan and Kane to be, some sites are not accepting bets on the Extreme Rules 2014 main event. Betting will proceed as normal for the other matches, however. The only other really predictable choice is that Alexander Rusev will squash Xavier Woods and R Truth.

This Is Your Brain in the Cloud
In his new book, How To Create a Mind, Ray Kurzweil looks at the "pattern recognition" theory of the human mind, arguing that all higher-order thinking is based on a consistent pattern-recognition algorithm.
"The neocortex is a metaphor machine," Kurzweil tells Big Think. "That's why humans are creative." The difference, for instance, between humans and other primates is we have a large neocortex. Our big forehead "was an enabling factor that permitted the evolution of language and technology and art and science."

Asian Stocks Rise, Oil Climbs on U.S. Budget Talks; Yen Weakens - Bloomberg
Obama, before starting a three-nation trip in Asia, began a new round of deficit-reduction talks with top Republicans and Democrats in a bid to avoid automatic tax increases and spending cuts that threaten to throw the country into a recession next year. European finance ministers aim to craft a plan for Greece's next aid payment this week. Regional finance chiefs are due to meet in Brussels tomorrow for the second time in a week after they agreed seven days ago to keep Greece's bailout aid flowing.
"Investors appear to be increasing their bets that the worst-case scenario for the U.S. fiscal situation will be averted," Kim Dae Young, a Seoul-based fund manager at KB Asset Management Co., which manages about $27 billion in assets, said by phone today. — Bloomberg
Weekly Bull/Bear Recap: Nov. 12-16, 2012
This objective report concisely summarizes important macro events over the past week. It is not geared to push an agenda. Impartiality is necessary to avoid costly psychological traps, which all investors are prone to, such as confirmation, conservatism, and endowment biases.
+ Weak economic data and fiscal cliff concerns have produced a buying opportunity for risk assets. Firstly, weakness in this week's economic data is due to Hurricane Sandy. Data will revert to trend growth soon and surprise investors to the upside. Finally, we are beginning to see the contours of a resolution as per recent remarks from Obama and Boehner. Democrats will pile the pressure on Republicans to relent. Lawmakers understand the consequences of non-action and will naturally act in time to avoid the bearish scenario.
+ Long-term U.S. economic bullish tailwinds are forming before our eyes. Shale oil and "fracking" look to make the U.S. an energy powerhouse, spawning a wave of manufacturing investment and job creation. The U.S. is forecast to be an oil exporter by 2030. Furthermore, the housing market is on the mend with housing bellwethers reporting improved earnings trends, economic data showing falling inventory levels, evidence of an improving trend in delinquencies, and leading indicators such as the S&P Homebuilders index and lumber prices signaling increased vigor ahead. Finally, China continues to show stabilization; a rebound will ensue in 2013. Longer-term, new leadership will ensure that the country's important 5-year plan is properly executed. These bullish tailwinds will grow stronger in the coming months and will cause a further uptrend in Citi's Surprise Index (a measure of investor sentiment)…
+ …In fact, sentiment on Main Street continues to improve and U.S. economic growth quietly surprises to the upside in the 3rd quarter.
+ Athens will likely be given additional time to digest austerity cuts. European leaders understand that they must give Greece time to adjust. This is a positive step and shows that political will for a unified Europe remains resilient. Furthermore, GDP data for France, Germany, and Italy print better than expected.
- U.S. companies fear the fiscal cliff and government gridlock is set to continue, all the while bailouts persist. Falling core capital goods orders (affecting manufacturing), souring small business sentiment, and weakening consumer spending are ingredients for a self-fulfilling prophecy of recession. Promises of further monetary easing are met with risk markets shrugging. Monetary policy has become powerless to stop continued economic weakness.
- Germany will be entering recession soon. The important ZEW survey implodes in November, falling 4.2 points to -15.7. A negative balance indicates that more experts expect the economy to contract over the next 6 months. A political crisis in the Eurozone is increasing in probability. How can Germany bailout other countries when it now needs stimulus of its own? That will be a major question on November 20th when the Bundestag votes on the next tranche of aid to Greece.
- Meanwhile, things are taking a turn for the worse in most if not all of Europe. For September, Spanish industrial orders collapse almost 6%, while Eurozone industrial production falls the most in 3 years. In France, recession is knocking on the door and Germany is pondering critiquing the country's economy (good luck with that). Meanwhile, most periphery nations are plagued with increasingly violent strikes and protests; the Greek government is beginning to lose control as a GDP print of -7.2% in the 3rd quarter has prompted the Prime Minster to announce that a "Great Depression" has descended on the country. The IMF and EU continue to spar over the details of a new aid package —wavering IMF support is further fuel for uncertainty.
- Weakness in Europe is spilling into Asia, with Japan on the cusp of another recession and Taiwan experiencing some intense market declines. Meanwhile, geopolitics is further clouding the outlook. Israeli airstrikes kill the leader of Hamas's militant wing. This is occurring within the backdrop of already high tensions in the region; a report from an U.N. agency fuels further fear of military conflict between Israel and Iran.
CBO sees worse economic wreckage from "fiscal cliff" - Yahoo! Finance
Let the apocalyptic warnings begin. Eventually officials will agree to something, but the problem will remain; poor budget management and mountains of debt. Non-resolution in the meantime is leading to falling business confidence as businesses don't know what to expect.
Congress Said to Delay Automatic Budget Cuts Until March - Bloomberg
Leaders in both chambers are discussing whether to propose a catch-all bill that would delay the automatic cuts, fund the government through March or later and temporarily extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts and other tax laws, said the House aide and industry officials, who asked to speak on condition of anonymity.
"It is being seriously considered as one of the options and there is no doubt about that," Steve Bell, the senior director of the Economic Policy Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, said in an interview. — (Bloomberg).
U.S. House May Split Up Package of Expired Tax Breaks - Bloomberg
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are considering splitting up a package of miscellaneous tax breaks, potentially making it tougher for items with less support to survive alongside more popular provisions.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It's looking like there won't be a fiscal cliff, but government spending will likely diminish next fiscal year.

Diamond 85: Give me Healing
Diamond 85: Give me Healing
At the Viridian Rocket base, Delia felt as if the elevator trip down, was taking ten times as long as it should. Giovanni had called to make sure that Binks was alright and the accusations against Laiki were dropped, at least for the time being. Ash would be alright, he had his pokemon, Delia trusted him to be well. All that was left to do was to catch Iblis. Then why did she feel so uneasy?
The elevator doors finally opened and both its occupants stepped out. They made their way to the end of the hallway, adjusting from the relatively hot elevator to the cool air conditioner. Giovanni opened the door at the end of the hall and closed it again once he and Delia were inside Binks' living quarters.
Binks had been sitting on the couch with Raticate next to him. He contemplated a small vial in his hand containing a pale green tinted liquid. He stood as soon as he heard the door being opened and walked towards his visitors. "You're here for this, aren't you?" Binks motioned to the little vial he held. He was as thin as ever, his lab coat and clothing hanging off his bony body. His eyes were red and the purple bags under them stood out on his pale face.
"What is that?" Giovanni asked as naturally as he could. Despite Binks' appearance, his voice came out with clarity and not a hint of doubt.
"I was going to give it to you," Binks insisted. "I wouldn't deny him this chance. I lived this long, just so I could give him this," he sounded as if he was being invaded by a rush of emotion. "I want him to live. I don't know when it will happen, but I fear it will. How old is he now? Fifteen? Eighteen? Twenty? Twenty-five? I'm afraid I've lost the notion of time. I can't remember for my life how old he would be."
"Binks?" Delia spoke softly; so far it seemed that Binks was yet to acknowledge her presence. She didn't know what he was talking about, even Giovanni looked confused. Yet the Rocket leader also looked focused, as if he was expecting something that would confirm a vague theory. "Who are you talking about?"
"Do you know?" Binks addressed Delia with doubt, "do you know the truth?" He then looked at Giovanni again, "does she know?" Binks went back to looking at Delia, into her eyes, his expression grave. "If you knew, you would hate me even more."
"I don't hate you," Delia assured strongly. She noticed that Binks' voice came out with more certainty and clarity than before.
"I hate myself," Binks stated, his eyes traveling to the floor. "I carry so many sins, so much blood on my hands. He's my nightmare. Don't you know I see him every time I close my eyes? I see her too, I see them both, but she's better off than him. She lives, he is destined to die, but his brother is more important. His brother is... he's human!" Binks' tone became much louder at the last word. "He is, he really is, that boy, he's human, he's my nephew, please let him live!" His breathing became difficult; it looked like he was hyperventilating.
"Calm down," Giovanni urged, raising his voice more than he meant.
"It's okay," Delia gently guided Binks to sit down on the couch. She sat down next to him, gently patting his back. "It's okay, we're here to help."
Binks clutched the little vial in his right hand as if it was more precious than his own life. "Do you know?" He asked desperately, as he tried to catch his breath. Delia didn't seem to know what he was talking about. "Does she know?" He directed the question towards Giovanni.
Giovanni wasn't sure what to make of the situation except the worse. There were things of the past that Delia didn't know. There were things she would strongly disapprove of. Giovanni sat down on one of the seats near the couch and closed his eyes in thought. Binks' nephew, the one he referred to was not his biological nephew, just someone that he saw as a nephew. "She doesn't know."
Delia was taken by surprise with Giovanni's sudden reply. What was it that had Binks so shaken that she didn't know? She silently questioned Giovanni with her eyes. She wasn't sure if she should further inquire about the subject in front of Binks or try to change it. Clearly, the poor man was disturbed by the conversation. Even so, it didn't look like he could be made to drop the subject so easily.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to make her mad," Binks sobbed.
"I'm not mad," Delia gently assured, some urgency escaping into her voice and expression.
"Delia..." Giovanni paused and considered his options. There were things that he rather Delia not know, "you're not going to like this." Why was he even telling her? Why was she already giving him an understanding look when the topic had taken such a dark road?
"Should I confess my sins?" Binks looked between Giovanni and Delia unsure. His eyes finally settled on the small vial in his hand.
"I will listen," Delia voiced and prepared herself for the worse.
"It's been a long time," Binks breathed, "ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, twenty five years or maybe even thirty. I don't know how long it's been since that night in New Island. Aayla came to me and told me the truth. She wanted power and she wanted revenge on Venom. Most of all, she wanted redemption for someone precious to her. I was reluctant but could not refuse." Binks paused and looked at Delia, "do you remember her? Do you remember Aayla?"
Delia was shocked, but tried to hide it. She nodded slowly, "I remember, I will always remember." It looked like Binks had returned to the present. He wasn't sure how long it had been, but he knew that a considerable amount of time had passed. She glanced at Giovanni before looking back at Binks. If Giovanni's expression was any indication, the revelations would be grave.
"Before she joined us, before we met you," Binks spoke barely above a whisper, "Aayla was with Venom. They were lovers, I do not know to what extent in terms of love itself, but they were together physically at least. She was pregnant and he... he wanted to create something. Venom worked with his sister to create a sort of potion. Venom wanted power and Poisona wanted destruction. Aayla found out too late that she had prevailed. Her child was destined to become the bringer of death."
Delia felt her breath catch in her throat as Binks continued to stare at the little vial, avoiding her gaze. Her mind was racing with possibilities that felt too terrible to be true. Giovanni was caught off guard, he was expecting a different revelation, one related to Luke and Comet. He didn't know Binks was so well informed about Aayla's daughter. The scientist had never shared that information.
"Aayla managed to hide the child. She faked the girl's death and left her with someone she trusted. That is all I knew about the child for a long time," Binks glanced around the room, at Delia, at Giovanni, at Raticate, at the awards, at the strange painting and back at the little vial. "The child, from what I learned, was to carry a terrible virus in her body, allowing it to develop without spreading. It would concentrate in her system, becoming deadlier, mutating into something terrible," Binks paused as a few tears escaped him.
Delia could feel her heart pounding in terror at what she was hearing. She looked at Giovanni. He was surprised yet knowing. It was as if he knew only part of that information, or was shocked to find that Binks knew so much. She looked back at Binks, her hand gently on his thin shoulder. He looked so terribly fragile it broke her heart all over again.
"Along with the power, Aayla wanted the antidote," Binks revealed. Do you remember when we found all that data about the epidemic underground at the Viridian gym?" It seemed that Binks wasn't sure where he was, he didn't know that his current location was under the Viridian gym. "Don't you think it's strange that if all of that was documented in such detail, this was not?"
Giovanni's expression showed real surprise. "You knew this would happen. All these years, you knew she was out there. The files, they did exist," Giovanni realized.
Binks nodded, he took his eyes off the vial and faced Giovanni. "Aayla took the files and hid them when we were at Viridian. Later, at New Island she gave them to me with the whole truth. If I told anyone, the girl might have been hunted down, maybe even killed, to prevent this disaster. This is terrible indeed, but Aayla wanted her daughter to live, her little Secura. She was regretful. Is that not what we always do? Choose who will be sacrificed for us?"
"You have no idea what's been unleashed into the world!" Giovanni yelled. "If the pokemon die, if they are extinct, what do you think will happen? That might not even be the end of it, humans can carry the virus. It's harmless to us now, but viruses mutate, you don't have to be a science expert to know that much. This thing could very well end all life eventually. You knew and you didn't tell me? You just let it happen?" Giovanni reproached harshly, full of anger and frustration.
"Stop it!" Delia yelled.
Binks was shaking violently, his bony frame making odd noises as he moved. It was as if there was not enough meat in him to prevent his bones from rattling against each other. He sobbed and choked, his face turning purple.
Delia hugged the desperate Binks gently. She was afraid he would literally fall apart. "Shh, it's okay; just take a slow deep breath, don't try to talk. It's going to be alright. We're going to find a cure and everything will be okay."
"The cure," Binks sobbed, "the cure for the virus," he pushed out the words in a pained ragged voice, "the cure is with Aayla."
"Aayla is dead," Giovanni voiced barely above a whisper. "Where are the files?"
"New Island," Binks gasped.
"Destroyed, everything in New Island was destroyed," Giovanni was terribly frustrated. The situation looked more hopeless by the second. Binks had survived the explosion, but he was unconscious for a long time. As far as he knew, Mewtwo died there along with Dr. Fuji.
Binks shook his head, "she's alive, Aayla is alive, I'm sure of it! That's not all, that's not my only sin. There were twelve, twelve little boys."
"I've think you've said enough," Giovanni almost growled.
"Giovanni, stop; let him finish," Delia interfered; her expression was both determined and supportive. Binks looked as if his very life depended on his confession being heard. "It's true that I don't like this, it's true that I'm upset, but hiding it and keeping it bottled up won't do anyone any good. It won't help Binks and it won't help you. Let me help you carry this, I'll help you both," with her words, she extended the blame to Giovanni as well, no longer in denial about his influence in the experiments of the past. She knew it had to be about that, what else could be so terrible to affect Binks in such a way? The guilt had been eating away at him for years so strongly that he made himself believe it never happened. That's why he pretended to be in the past, because he desperately wanted to return to it and do things differently.
Binks took a deep breath. He was still shaking though much less violently. "There were twelve little boys, his children, Luke's children." It was the price to pay, other than the dangerous missions, for his past betrayal with Han. "Twelve little clones, little boys really, living beings," Binks stared at the vial once more, unable to bring himself to look at Delia. "Number three, number seven and number ten survived, all the others died. Number three was enhanced to age rapidly. Very quickly he went from a baby, to a fully grown man. We were studying genetics, trying to make the perfect Rocket agent. We failed."
Delia's tears continued to escape her in absolute silence. She couldn't stop them if she tried, though she didn't make a sound. She looked at Giovanni. He met her eyes for a moment then looked away. She looked back at Binks waiting for him to gather the strength and will to continue.
"I was testing number three's ability to absorb the knowledge pushed into him through a hypnotic trance," Binks revealed. "He was supposed to have enough of a basic education to be able to interact with normal humans. He was generally quiet, but responded well enough when spoken to. Because Fuji wanted to revive his daughter, he was not opposed to the human experiments, as his goal involved a human. We thought that if number three was exposed to contact with normal humans for long enough, he would start to act more natural."
Delia watched as Binks' face became contorted with terrible regret.
"It was my fault!" Binks cried, "It was my fault that they died, it was my fault that she lost them. It was my fault that they suffered!" He screamed until his voice gave out. "I'm sorry, little sister, I'm sorry," he breathlessly sobbed. "My mother passed away when I was young. She had a frail body that she knew would eventually give out. Time passed and my father got married again. His new wife was a kind lady and though she was not a replacement for my mother, I cared about her as a mother. I know she cared for me as a son too. They had a baby girl, Laiki, my little sister. I was visiting them when Laiki was still a child. I took number three with me and arrived when Laiki was still in school. That day, that terrible day, number three lost his sanity. It happened very quickly and I didn't understand why. Later, I realized that the formula used to advance his growth made him react strangely to certain spices. Mother loved to cook and try new recipes."
Delia knew that the story had to have a truly awful ending. Her face was wet with tears and her throat felt dry. She couldn't speak even if she tried.
"It was all a random coincidence, a miscalculation. Who could have guessed?" Binks stared at the vial in his hand once more. "He killed them; I was unable to stop him. He cast me aside. No matter how desperately I tried, I wasn't strong enough. He had inhuman strength, like a pokemon with illegal power ups, one that wouldn't die so easily. Whenever I attacked him, he threw me aside and went after my parents. He recognized me, but they were unfamiliar so they were his primary target. Laiki didn't see it; she didn't see her parents being ripped to shreds piece by piece by a mad man, while her helpless brother was simply thrown around like the worthless creature he was."
Delia's heart ached with each revelation.
"My parents begged me to run away." The nightmarish images would forever haunt Binks. "They were being ripped apart, there was blood everywhere. I can't remember much else. I reported what happened to headquarters and I guess they must have covered it up. I lied to her; I lied to my little sister. I told her our parents had a car accident while she was in school. As her closest living relative, since she was still a child, her custody was mine. I took her away from Cherrygrove City. I didn't want her to hear the rumors and learn of the terrible truth. I didn't want her to know it was all my fault."
Binks continued, "I know Laiki has made friends in Team Rocket. I know a lot of things; I know more than anyone may guess. I know there is a boy whom Laiki things of as her younger brother. It took me a while, but I figured out who he is. There were twelve little boys and only three survived. Number three was a killer, but number seven wasn't bad. The boy has no recollection of his childhood because he has no childhood. He was kept safely in his tank for a long time. He was let out eventually, without the modifications that doomed number three. I wanted to understand what went wrong; I wanted to revive my parents just like Fuji wanted to revive his daughter."
"Something unexpected happened," Binks revealed, "number seven was perfectly normal. In every sense, he was human and I couldn't deny it. Everything came crashing down and I couldn't toy with lives anymore. He made me realize it, that little boy saved what was left of my corrupted soul. Because of that little boy, I still have just enough humanity left in me to suffer for my sins."
Binks continued his confession, "I was unable to take care of number seven so he was taken away. Luke's child, who had become my little nephew, he was given to his father and raised to be a loyal Rocket. He's still out there, isn't he? He's still human, he can't be anything else. I'm not being completely honest, though. There is a mistake, but it can be corrected. He's sick you see. He is strong, a normal person could be as strong and agile as him, no doubt about it, but they would have to work for it. They would have to work hard and not neglect their training."
"Comet..." Delia's voice came out as a whisper. She knew her conclusion was correct, even if she desperately wished to be wrong.
"I was afraid," Binks cried. "I saw him in my dreams and her too. I saw what Aayla became, wild and difficult to reach. I saw what number three became, a vicious killer. I infected number seven with a virus. It is not contagious unless one receives his blood into one's own blood vessels. Of course, his medical profile, his secret medical profile, specifies this. Touching his blood is not even enough; one would have to receive a sufficient sample injected. I made sure Laiki knew. A seemingly healthy young man, O negative no less, regardless of what kind of emergency ever happened, I made sure she knew not to ask to use his blood."
"The virus would slowly kill number seven. That way if he went crazy and escaped, he would die young. He wouldn't have time to become an urban legend like number three did. All those unsolved murder mysteries attributed to the Bloody Killer; they're probably all really his doing. The police keeps them as unresolved cold cases. Not many truly believe that terrible being to be anything more than an urban legend. I didn't want another being like number three. But you know what?" Binks suddenly laughed at the irony, "number seven is normal, sane, loyal and competent. Certain tests were included along with his routine medical examinations. He's human, completely human, sane and sentient, even if he has no idea where he came from."
Binks stood from the couch and walked to his laboratory area. "This will remove the unnecessary safeguard I placed upon him." He transferred the contents of the little vial to a needle and put the needle inside a plastic bag. He held the edge of the bag with his bony fingers as he returned to the living room area. "Take it; give him the opportunity to live a long healthy life. As the human he is, he deserves that much." He held the bag in front of Giovanni for him to take.
Giovanni took the antidote and stared at it. That cure was for Comet, the cure for the virus affecting pokemon was a different topic entirely. Afflicted with guilt, Binks confessed it all at once. "You lied about this too, to me and to Luke. Comet wasn't destined to die because his body would internally degenerate with the passing of time. It was because you made it so."
Giovanni, Luke and Laiki were aware of Comet's origin, though Comet himself had no idea. When he was taken out of his tank, he was educated and raised as a Rocket. When he questioned his origins, Luke gave him nothing but excuses. Giovanni wondered if Ash had asked about his father with the same curiosity and necessity to know that he had heard Comet ask Luke about his mother. He had no mother. Giovanni wondered if maybe Ash was better off without a father.
Binks lowered his head, "I'm sorry," he sobbed with tears streaming down his face. "I'm so sorry... Please go, please heal him. It hasn't happened yet, right? He's still alive, isn't he? He's still well, he must be. Number seven... Comet. Go, go now, I will be fine on my own. I must rest, I must think. The time will soon come and I must fulfill Aayla's wish. I must find redemption for her daughter. What season is it? Please tell me this much, what season?"
Silence invaded the area after Binks' question as if those present were too absorbed in their own thoughts to reply. "Fall is starting," Giovanni finally voiced. He looked at Delia as she sat shaking. Binks went back to the lab followed by Raticate, muttering random things under his breath. "Delia..." the name was barely audible. Her tears had not ceased, he thought about hugging her, but what consolation could she gain from him? Then his phone insistently demanded his attention. He ignored it at first, then finally gave in and looked at the screen. Luke was calling; he felt he needed to answer that call. "Is so-"
Before Giovanni could ask if there was something wrong, Luke's panicked voice confirmed that there was. "Dude, Giovanni, help! He's like dying, my son is like dying, you know? He was like burning up with a fever and now he's like suddenly like totally cold, man! Help please, like save him. You're like the leader, you like make everything like okay, do something, man! I like totally beg you to like save him, please!"
In the background Giovanni could hear other voices, besides Luke. There seemed to be a woman there, or two women, one apparently much more panicked than the other. "Where are you?"
The feeling of trouble in the air and the urgency in Giovanni's voice snapped Delia out of her daze. She couldn't hear Luke's voice coming from his cell phone, but she knew whatever was happening was bad. "Comet's room," Luke choked on his words as if his very life was being drained away and running out.
"I have the cure, I'll be there in a moment," Giovanni didn't wait for a reply before leaving with Delia following him. There was no time to question Binks' cure. The unusual results of Comet's medical tests were due to the virus Binks gave him rather than his condition as a clone as most had thought. He would just have to be examined later to see if he was truly healed. For the time being, gambling everything on the antidote in the needle was the only hope.
Giovanni left Binks' living area, rushing to the elevator followed by Delia. They went up suffocated by the tense atmosphere. They didn't say anything, they couldn't. They didn't even look at each other. Things had seemingly improved for a while, then all of this came out. Giovanni himself couldn't explain why he allowed Delia to know. He didn't understand his own inaction in hiding this from her.
The elevator opened and Giovanni hurried down the seemingly endless halls of the Viridian Rocket headquarters. He arrived at the area corresponding to the in-base living quarters. All the doors were numbered in rows that appeared to stretch out endlessly. Delia didn't know where they were going and for what purpose, but it was obviously urgent and probably tragic.

Here's a question for all you Raptors fans out there: What would make you more upset - Chris Bosh leaving or Hedo Turkoglu staying?
During an interview on The Fan 590 Monday evening, Raptors President and GM Bryan Colangelo basically intimated that one of those two things is likely while the other is more possible than people might realize.
The former intimation, which was actually a rather explicit opinion of Colangelo's, was that he believes at this juncture that Chris Bosh's days in Toronto are over. While at this point that hardly can be classified as news (most assumed he was gone the moment that Raptors failed to make the post-season for the second straight year), the fact that it was coming from Colangelo will probably get its fair share of play in the coming days leading up to free agency.
It's the latter revelation, though, that in all likelihood will cause the tremor throughout Raptor-land.
It's probably just a coincidence, but in the course of one day, Turkolgu recanted (somewhat) his desire to be traded in an interview with Turkish sports site sporx.com and Colangelo suggested that if Bosh leaves it could lessen his desire to part with the controversial Raptor forward. Regardless of the timing, the change of attitude on the matter is sure to rankle Raptors faithful, even if there is actually some logic to revelation.
Colangelo's reasoning basically came down to the simple idea that if the team is going to lose Bosh, depending on what compensation the team receives in return for him, losing Hedo as well might be too much of a talent drain for one summer. Turkoglu's 'clarification' of his early trade demand was that so long as the system run in Toronto changes - and he expects it to, regardless - he would be amenable to a return to the Raptors.
Now, a cynic would probably take those two nuggets and chalk them up to a need to boost Turkoglu's value after the first wave of trade inquiries didn't satisfy Colangelo's demands. When a player insists that he wants out no matter what, the team has very little leverage with potential trade partners. At least if both sides 'appear' to be open to maintaining the status quo, the leverage swings ever so slightly back to centre. Truth be told, these philosophical shifts on the part of Colangelo and Turkoglu probably amount to nothing more than exactly that. However, that doesn't mean that the team would be unilaterally worse off if Turkoglu was still with the club when training camp rolled around.
Let's assume for a second that ridding the team of Jose Calderon is a greater priority at Raptors HQ than trading Hedo. Calderon's fragile body has only further eroded his already meagre defensive abilities and it would appear that the front office has lost faith in him as a starting guard. Plus, Colangelo has been much more emphatic that one of the team's two current point guards (Jarrett Jack being the other) will not return next season. Given that Jack is on a far cheaper deal, that he has the versatility to swing between both backcourt positions, that he actually plays defense and that he is a solid rebounder for a guard, it would seem foolish to unload him simply to ease a glut at the position.
That is especially true when one considers that on the court last year, the real glut was between Turkoglu and Calderon, two players that need the ball in their hands to be effective and two players that appeared to make each other less effective by sharing the court together. It was no coincidence that the team had it's best stretch when Calderon was coming off of the bench and played far fewer minutes in tandem with Turkoglu.
So, if we are to assume that Calderon won't be returning, then this team is going to need some manner of playmaking. The new-look Raptors are actually shaping up to be a very fun, athletic group of guys, but none of the young core (DeMar DeRozan, Sonny Weems, Amir Johnson [assuming he re-signs] and rookies Ed Davis and Solomon Alabi) has any proficiency in creating offense themselves. Even Jack, dependable as he is, has never averaged more than 5.3 assists per-game in his career, and most of his assists come out of running a system rather than his individual playmaking flair. Turkoglu, though, excels in this area. This season, despite his lowest usage percentage since his one-year stint in San Antonio (18.1%), Hedo still managed 4.1 assists per game. For context, in his last year in Orlando, Hedo had a 23.0 usage percentage, played six more minutes per game, ran a system that was tailored to utilize his playmaking skills, and he only averaged 0.8 more assists per-game. Per 36 minutes, his assists in the last two seasons were identical, despite the lower usage percentage last season and the offense that played him off the ball far more often than Orlando's did. One could even wonder how much his assists would increase if a team did away entirely with the pretence of a 'point guard' and allowed Hedo to run the offense entirely from the small forward position. Hedo is a natural playmaker and even when he's barely involved in the offense, he makes plays. He can't help it, it's the nature of his game. As much as fans may hate to admit it, it's a skill that is in desperate need if Bosh and Calderon go, and it would seem foolish to unload your best playmaker without at least knowing how you were going to replace his skills, no?
Not convinced? Okay, fair enough. After all, he came off as a bit of a malcontent last season, his shooting numbers are never particularly impressive and his defense isn't getting any better with age. Still, what he offers this team is at least an option to bring a playmaker back to the team next season if they strike out finding one on the open market. That may just be necessary, too, since this summer's open market looks so bare in the playmaking department.
In terms of free agent point guards, you aren't going to find anyone that is any better than Jarrett Jack. Ray Felton headlines the uninspiring class of point guards, as painfully average as he is, and there is a steep drop-off after him. There aren't even any apparent diamonds in the rough, no Ramon Sessions-type of guys who've racked up intriguing numbers under the radar. Detroit's Will Bynum is the closest you get to that this summer, but then you're still only looking at a guy who averaged 5.4 assists per-game as a starter last season.
On the trade market, there is the chance that a team may be able to pilfer Darren Collison from New Orleans, but after that the cupboard looks just as bare. Maybe Minnesota could be persuaded to part with Jonny Flynn, or maybe Portland would sacrifice Andre Miller, but the Raptors probably don't have the right pieces to make those deals work. If the team wanted to take on salary they could probably get Monta Ellis from Golden State, a combo guard that may not hemorrhage assists, but he can certainly create offense so long as you don't mind him taking 22 shots per-game.
The fact is that for Colangelo, it might be prudent to keep Turkoglu in his back pocket for now rather than pawning him off to the first team that would take on his salary. After all, the development of the young guys in Toronto could take a serious hit if they aren't able to have an offense that facilitates them with quality looks. The team will be active in exploring all manner of moves this summer, and one of them might net the club the right piece(s) to make a Turkoglu departure inevitable. In fact, finding such a deal is probably a high priority for Colangelo since he knows that few in the locker room or the fan base are eager to have someone back who spit so much venom at the team only a few short weeks ago. However, everyone needs to be patient because of even greater importance than moving Turkoglu is ensuring that this team has adequate playmaking next season since they won't have a player they can simply dump the ball to and watch while he gets them twenty-two points each night. If the Raptors find the right mix to make Turkoglu expendable, you can expect to see him move on, but trust that the team will only move him on after replacing his greatest (if most under-utilized last season) skill first.
That may seem like throwing salt on the wound of fans losing yet another cornerstone, but patience is a trait fans are going to have re-embrace in a big way, anyway.

Catch Spring's cool breezes with a homemade wind sock.
Use markers, paints, or crayons to decorate a 6- by 18-inch strip of construction paper. Try making stars, flowers, or birthday candles, adding glitter, or giving the wind sock a face by gluing on paper cutouts of eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth.
Next, cut nine 26-inch-long crepe paper streamers and glue them to the back of the bottom edge of the paper.
Finally, knot a 30-inch piece of string at each end and staple the knots to the tube sides to make a handle.
Hang the wind sock on a porch or patio where it will be protected from strong winds and watch it ride the gentle breeze.
