Brooklyn Nets Tickets
With a promising combination of young talent and seasoned veterans, the Brooklyn Nets figure to be a big part of the conversation in the Atlantic Division this year. The boys in black and white gave Atlanta all they could handle in the first round of last year's postseason, and coach Lionel Hollins will look to take them to even greater heights in 2015-16. General Manager Billy King made moves to revitalize the team this offseason, enhancing their frontline with youth and athleticism that should make Brooklyn tough to compete with on the boards. In an Eastern Conference that appears wide open for the second straight season, the sky's the limit for BK.

Brooklyn Nets 2015-2016 News and Updates
2/8/16 - The Brooklyn Nets may be one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, but that doesn't mean they are incapable of pulling off a win. On Monday, the Nets held an exciting game against the Denver Nuggets. The game was neck and neck the entire way and ended up coming down to the final minutes. They went back and forth between who held the lead and the Nuggets even outscored the Nets by two-points in the fourth quarter, but the Nets pulled off the 105-104 win over the Nuggets. See if the winning high can continue this week as the Nets take on the Grizzlies and Knicks. Tickets are still available for the game against the Knicks so get them today.

2/1/16 - There is bad news for fans of the Brooklyn Nets. The team seems to be stuck in a slump. Their last victory was on January 4th, against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After that strong match, the Nets have faced the Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers, but they were not able to pull off a victory. While it is easy to see this unfortunate streak and panic, if you look closer you will see the Nets scored more than 100 points in more than half of these matchups. They are not playing poorly, but they continuously fall just short. Hopefully their upcoming home match against the Sacramento Kings on February 5th breaks their streak.
1/25/16 - The Brooklyn Nets broke their five game losing streak when they beat the Thunder 116-106 on January 24 in a game delayed by four hours by the winter storm Jonas. Brook Lopez had a great game, leading the team with 31 points, which was a season high. He also grabbed 10 rebounds to help the team. The Nets showed a solid performance and outscored the Thunder in every quarter. However, their winning momentum did not last for long, and they lost against the Heat on the 26. They will look to get another win when they head to Dallas to play the Mavericks on the 29. You can still get tickets for $19 and up.
1/18/16 - The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of a four game losing streak. Their latest loss came against the Cavaliers on January 20. At one point, the Cavaliers led the Brooklyn Nets by 23 points. The Nets fought back to close the deficit, but were unable to take control of the game. Brook Lopez led the team with 16 points and also added 10 rebounds for a double-double. The Nets will look to break this current losing streak and start adding some more wins to their record when they play the Jazz at home on January 22. Tickets remain available for you to catch the action in person, with ticket prices starting at just $8.
1/11/16 - The Brooklyn Nets certainly have had a rough slump, but it looks like it might be over now. After five consecutive losses, the Nets have finally broken their losing streak. They hosted the New York Knicks on January 13th and managed to come away with a final score of 104-110. In fact, this was one of the Nets' most exciting games to date. They were all tied up at the half, and they fell behind by four at the end of the third quarter, but the Nets managed to come back with a 29-36 final quarter to snag the victory. Hopefully they will be able to ride this momentum as they prepare to play the Portland Trail Blazers.
1/4/16 - After beating the Celtics in a close game, the Brooklyn Nets lost their next two games, including another one against the Celtics. In their victory against the Celtics, Brook Lopez led the team with an impressive 30 points, which was a season-high for him. He also had 13 rebounds. Joe Johnson helped out with 20 points. The Celtics had a 10 points lead going into the final quarter, but the Celtics had a strong opening, tying the game. The Nets stayed strong and bounced back, winning the game. The Nets host the Magic on January 8 and then head to Detroit to play the Pistons the next night. You can still get tickets for $19 and up.
12/28/15 - The Brooklyn Nets are sitting in fourteenth place in the Eastern Conference standings. They have a losing record, but their last game against the Miami Heat went unexpectedly well. The Brooklyn Nets five starting players were threatened by the head coach to be benched during the second half if they couldn't pull themselves together. The coach decided to only play Wayne Ellington and Shane Larkin to open the third, and it was a well-made decision. Ellington scored 25 points to rally past the Heat for the 111-105 win. See if this is the win the Nets needed to get their season turned around in the right direction. Get your tickets today to see them compete against the Boston Celtics on January 2.
12/21/15 - Fans of the Brooklyn Nets will be asking Santa to bring the team a win after they extended their losing streak to five games with a loss against the Timberwolves. Brook Lopez led the team with 20 points and he also grabbed 12 rebounds. The Timberwolves led by 10 for most of the game, and then had a 12-3 spurt that widened the gap, making it more difficult for the Nets to catch up. The Nets play the Bulls in Chicago on the 21 and then have two home games. They host the Mavericks on the 23 and the Wizards on the 26. You can still get tickets to the games, with prices starting at just $20.
12/14/15 - The Brooklyn Nets must have been disappointed after December 12th's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite scoring 100 points, they still fell just short by a slim five-point margin. More recently, the Nets took on the Orlando Magic where the final score came to 105-82 with the Nets behind again. After returning from their away game on December 18th, they will only have one more home game before hitting the road again. Be sure to secure your spot in the stands and come out to see the Nets take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 20th. Tickets are available starting as low as $16, so there is no reason you cannot catch the Nets in action.
12/7/15 - After two disappointing losses against the Knicks and the Warriors, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Rockets on December 8 to sweep the season series again after 14 years. Brook Lopez led the team with 24 points, and Joe Johnson was close behind with 22. The Nets also had season highs for the number of assists at 27 and field goal percentage at 55.6. Brooklyn led by 18 points early in the third quarter, but the Rockets battled back to close the gap, but the Nets maintained a lead to win 110-105. The Nets continue a run of home games by hosting the 76ers on the 10 and the Clippers on the 12. Tickets remain available, with prices starting at $67.
11/30/15 - The Brooklyn Nets may be owned by some of the hippest people in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean they immediately have success. In fact, this season has been just the opposite, with only four wins and thirteen losses on their record. Things could be turning around for the Nets, however. They are currently on a two-game winning streak as they head to Madison Square Garden to play their state rivals, the New York Knicks. Don't miss your chance to cheer on and see if the Nets can pull off their third win in a row on December 4. Tickets are still available for the game and start at $71 each.
11/23/15 - The Brooklyn Nets may have a disappointing season record with 11 losses, but they are still pulling out impressive victories. Most recently, the Nets hosted a rematch game with the Boston Celtics. Brooklyn started out by earning a strong lead and was able to maintain it through the end of the match for a final score of 101-111. They now hit the road again for a couple rounds. For the last six games, the Nets have won all their home games and lost all their away games, so these upcoming matches are sure to be a challenge. They will be back in Brooklyn soon, however. They will be hosting the Detroit Pistons on November 29th.
11/16/15 - The month of November has looked nothing but grim for the Brooklyn Nets. Until their game on November 17 against the Atlanta Hawks, the Nets had only won one of seven games. However, against the Hawks, the Nets were able to pull off a very close win. Thanks to the Nets outscoring the Hawks 27-20 in the third quarter and their strong defense in the fourth quarter, the Nets left the victors of the 90-88 game. See the Brooklyn Nets play live when they face off against the Boston Celtics on November 22. Tickets are still available to purchase so don't miss your chance to catch all of the action live.
11/9/15 - The NBA season is fully underway, but hasn't gone very well for the Brooklyn Nets thus far. The Nets have only been able to win one game of ten and continue to get in big slumps they can't pull out of. On November 14, the Nets took on the reigning champions, the Golden State Warriors. Even though Stephen Curry from the Warriors scored 34 points during the game, the Nets were able to put up a good fight and send both teams into overtime play. Unfortunately, the Nets weren't able to hang on and lost 99-107 on Saturday night. See if they can muster up a win when they play the Atlanta Hawks on November 17. Tickets are still up for grabs.
11/2/15 - The Brooklyn Nets still have not managed to find their footing this season. They are now five games in and they still are yet to earn a victory. It is easy to get worried immediately, but a closer look reveals that the Nets have been playing incredibly well. With only one final score that is considered poor, and only two final scores total falling under 90 points, the Nets could have easily came out with a victory at any of their matches so far. It is just unfortunate that they fell just slightly short each night. Hopefully they will see their comeback soon. Their next opportunity is on November 6th, when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.
10/26/15 - Unfortunately the Brooklyn Nets were able to score a victory in their season opener. They fell behind in the first and third quarter, but were able to pull off an incredible display in the second, which earned them the most points for any single period on either team. It wasn't quite enough for them to take the lead, however, and the difference in score remained pretty consistent for the remainder of the game, seeing the Nets finish behind with 115-100. From here, the Nets have two away games ahead of them, but they will be back in New York on November 2nd to play the Milwaukee Bucks. Tickets start at just $12.
10/19/15 - The preseason is over for the Brooklyn Nets, who had a preseason record of 2-4. They beat the Detroit Pistons and the Philadelphia 76ers, and many of their other games were close even if they didn't go their way. In preparation for the start of the regular season on October 28, the Nets have waived Ryan Boatwright, Quincy Miller, and Chris Daniels. With the departure of these three players, the Nets roster has now been trimmed down to 17 players. The Nets host the Chicago Bulls at home for the 2015-16 season opener, and you can be there to watch the action in person. Ticket prices start at $53, and tickets remain available for the rest of the season.
10/14/15 - With the 2015 season nearly here, you have two major chances to catch the Brooklyn Nets in action. There is one more preseason match, on October 18th against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tickets for that match start at just $4. If you want to be there right from the beginning, be sure to come out for the Nets' season opener on October 28th. They will be hosting the Chicago Bulls, so it is sure to be an intense match. You can secure your spot in the stands to cheer the Nets to victory for as little as $46. Come out and show your support before the Nets have to hit the road.
8/10/15 - After finishing a disappointing third in the Atlantic Division last year, the Brooklyn Nets will be looking to redeem themselves heading into the upcoming season. The new NBA schedule for the 2015-2016 season was just released this week, and the road to redemption will not be easy for the Nets. They will face the red hot Boston Celtics in their home opener on Wednesday, October 14. Next, they will have to face the ageless San Antonio Spurs on the road. Come show the Nets your support as they kickoff the 2015-2016 season. Tickets to the home opener at Barclays Center are already available and start at just $10. Don't miss this opportunity to see your favorite team in action as they head into the new season!
2014-2015 Season
4/27/15 - The Brooklyn Nets shocked everyone, and achieved something for the first time this season: they beat out the Atlanta Hawks. Not only that, the Nets managed to do it twice. Even though they came close, the Nets lost both of their away games, but they held their own admirably on their own court. It is amazing that the team that snuck their way into the playoffs at the last minute kept the conference leader down to a measly 83 points on April 25th. They need two more wins to move on to conference semifinals, and there is only one more home game in this round, which means the Nets will need to win on the Hawk's court at least once to survive. It is a tall order, but the Nets have already surprised us once this week.
4/21/15 - The Brooklyn Nets were barely able to make it into the playoffs, earning their spot on the final day of the season, so no one expected much from them in the postseason. They have finished their first game, against the conference leader, the Atlanta Hawks, and while they were not able to take the victory, they only lost by a slim seven points. Considering the Nets lost all four of their matchups with the Hawks throughout the season, by much more than that, this is a huge achievement. If the Nets can continue to play well, they might just have a chance at knocking out the big league leader, especially once they get on their own court. Tickets for the first home Nets game of the playoffs start at $43.
4/13/15 - The final game of the season is here for the Brooklyn Nets. After ending their winning streak, the Nets have had a rough time on the court. They lost to the Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bulls, and now all that remains is an away game against the Orlando Magic on April 15th. The Nets still have a hope to make it into the playoffs, but it is a long shot. If they are able to beat the Magic, and the Indiana Pacers lose against the Memphis Grizzlies, Brooklyn will barely edge out the Pacers for the number eight spot in the Eastern Conference. The Nets are ranked higher than the Magic, and the Grizzlies already earned a spot in the postseason, so there may just be a chance for Brooklyn.
4/6/15 - Unfortunately, the Brooklyn Nets have ended their winning streak, but it looks like they are already back on the horse. They were able to add two more wins, against the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors, before the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Atlanta Hawks, beat them. Immediately following that 99-131 defeat, the Nets started a series of three home games. So far, they are doing very well, beating the Trail Blazers 96-106. Next up, the Nets will be taking on the Atlanta Hawks again, this time on Brooklyn's home court. Being the Nets' biggest competition, playing the Hawks will be good practice for the playoffs. That game promises to be very exciting, but it also marks one of four remaining home games in the regular season.
3/30/15 - The Brooklyn Nets' amazing streak continues. They are up to four consecutive wins and they have won eight of their last 10 games, six of which were over 100 points. Most recently, the Nets beat out the Indiana Pacers on March 31st. After securing an 18-point lead before the end of the first quarter, Brooklyn went all the way to 111 points, winning by a slim five-point lead. It is a shame the Nets were not able to get into the postseason, because it seems they just hit their stride. There are six remaining home games for the Nets, five of which are against playoff contenders. The future promises to be very exciting for Brooklyn Nets fans. You can catch their first game, against the Toronto Raptors, for $23.
3/23/15 - The Brooklyn Nets might not have made the playoffs, but they are currently playing better than they have for the rest of the season. Their most recent 91-88 victory against the Charlotte Hornets marks their fifth win in seven games and brings their record to 30-40. This might not have been a very high scoring game, but just earlier this week the Nets took a victory from the Milwaukee Bucks with an amazing 129 points. Going all the way to double overtime and ending with a slim, two-point lead, that was the most exciting game Brooklyn has had in recent memory. Next up, the Nets will play the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tickets are still available for the March 27th game for $88. With only nine home games remaining, the season is nearly over.
3/16/15 - Things were looking dicey for the Brooklyn Nets last week when they reached a five-game losing streak, but they have been playing better more recently. It was a very low scoring game when they took on the Philadelphia 76ers on March 14th, but the Nets still managed to take the win. They have now won two consecutive games and the latter was much more exciting. Both the Nets and the Minnesota Timberwolves broke 100 points and Joe Johnson led the Nets with 22 points. Now at 27-38, the Nets are just behind the Boston Celtics in the Atlantic Division. Their next home game will be against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 22nd, then the Nets take on the Celtics, which could be a great opportunity to catch up. Tickets for these games start at $13 and $9.
3/9/15 - Coach Lionel Hollins has worked throughout the season to establish an effective lineup for the Brooklyn Nets, having run through 17 variations to his starting five since opening night. A brief experiment with a small-ball scheme, featuring Joe Johnson playing the power forward position, came to an end on Sunday as Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young were given the start in order to match up with the imposing front line of the Utah Jazz. Although the moves did not result in a win, the Nets are looking at a soft schedule in March which should give them ample opportunity to make up ground in the standings. Dwyane Wade and the Heat will host Brooklyn on Wednesday in a battle of teams on the playoff bubble, and you can get in the game for as low as $17!
3/2/15 - Deron Williams turned back the clock on Saturday, as the veteran point guard put up 25 points to go with six rebounds and a pair of assists for the Brooklyn Nets in their 104-94 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Williams played high school basketball in The Colony near Dallas, making the game a homecoming of sorts, and likely adding to his motivation to have a strong performance. "This game is (about) confidence," Williams explained. "At times, mine dipped—but not tonight." The Nets will try to carry momentum from the impressive victory into their upcoming five-game home stand, which kicks off with the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Brooklyn will host the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday the 4th and great seats are available starting at just $6!
2/23/15 - The Brooklyn Nets came back from the NBA break with a bang. They've put two more wins in their record, putting them in second place in the Atlantic Division. The Nets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 114-105, then turned around four days later to shatter the Denver Nuggets in a final score of 110-82. The Nets continue on the road until they come home on Monday (3/2) to host the Golden State Warriors at Barclays Center. Tickets start at $35. On Wednesday (3/4), the Charlotte Hornets come to Brooklyn. Tickets are a bargain for this game, starting at $6. The Nets are waiting for Thomas Robinson to clear waivers so that he can join them on a ten-day contract. He's averaging 4.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, so he may be just what they need to move them up in the ranks.
2/16/15 - When the Brooklyn Nets come home on March 2 to play their first home after the NBA All-Star break, their roster may look much different. The trade deadline wraps up on Thursday (2/19), and rumors have Lance Stephenson looking at coming to Brooklyn. The Detroit Pistons are interested in Joe Johnson, but it will all come down to what's best for the Nets. They'll be out on the road for five games starting in Los Angeles, then Denver, New Orleans, Houston, and finally Dallas before their home game on the 2nd where they host Golden State Warriors at Barclays Center. Don't wait to get the best seats from Razorgator. Tickets start at $35, and you'll want to see their new lineup. Come out for some exciting basketball!
2/9/15 - Going into the break, the Brooklyn Nets sit in second place in the Atlantic Division with a 21-31 record. Nets' fan will have to wait till Monday (3/2), to get their basketball fix at Barclays Center, which is the next home game. Don't wait to get your tickets starting at $33 from Razorgator. Brooklyn loves its home team, and they sell out quick. The team may be experiencing a line-up switch with rumors running wild about who will be traded. The Nets have lost their last three games, most recently against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies came out strong in the first quarter with 32 points to the Nets' 15. The Nets kept the rest of the game close, but never made up that strong opening deficit with a final score of 86-95.
2/2/15 - The Brooklyn Nets snapped a four-game losing streak with a win on Monday evening when they hosted the Los Angeles Clippers. The final score was close at 100-102. It came down to the wire. The Nets host the New York Knicks on Friday (2/6). You'll want to come out to Barclays Center and cheer on the home team in this game between two fierce rivals. Get your tickets from Razorgator starting at $40. The Nets go out on the road on Saturday and won't have another home game until March 2. With a 19-28 record, the Nets are second in the Atlantic Division. It might be one your last opportunities to catch Brook Lopez playing for the home team, as the Nets are talking about making a trade.
1/26/15 - After severe weather resulted in the postponement of their home game versus Portland, the Brooklyn Nets will take to the road on Wednesday to square off with the hottest team in the league, the Atlanta Hawks. Brooklyn did not fare particularly well on their recent three-game road trip, losing games to the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz by an average of 37 points. They did, however, score a crucial victory over DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings by a score of 103-100, keeping them afloat in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. The Nets will return home on Friday night to face another dangerous rival in the Toronto Raptors, and great seats at Barclays Center are still available for the contest starting at just $17 each.
1/19/15 - The Brooklyn Nets are 2nd in the Atlantic Division, just 10 games out of first place after the Toronto Raptors. After losing seven games in a row, the Nets finally caught a break when they played the Washington Wizards, taking the game in final score of 102-80. The next day, the Nets hosted the Wizards for a home game and suffered a disappointing loss at 99-90. The next game on home court is Monday (1/26) against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Nets are hoping that their point guard, Deron Williams will be back in play after a fractured rib cartilage. Tickets for the game against the Trail Blazers start at a very affordable $10. Show the Nets that you're behind them by joining them in the arena.
1/12/15 - Despite a tough week, the Brooklyn Nets are hanging tough in the Eastern Conference. After going just 1-6 to start 2015, the Nets remain in sole possession of eighth place in the East, holding a game-and-a-half lead over the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets. The loss of Deron Williams in the lineup has made things a little more difficult, but continued solid play from Jarrett Jack at the point guard position and great production from their starting frontcourt is helping keep Brooklyn afloat. The Nets will play host to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, before taking on the Washington Wizards on consecutive nights this weekend in a home-and-home series. Tickets for both games at Barclays Center are available starting at $19, but supplies are limited so don't delay!
1/5/15 - Some lineup tinkering seems to have injected new life into the Brooklyn Nets, winners of six out of their last nine games. Close losses to the Miami Heat and the new-look Dallas Mavericks in overtime have dropped the Nets back below .500, but upcoming home games versus Boston and Philadelphia should provide opportunities to get back into the win column. Point guard Deron Williams has turned in better numbers since moving to the bench, allowing coach Lionel Hollins to better regular his minutes and rest a variety of nagging injuries. Strong play from centers Mason Plumlee and Brook Lopez continue to anchor Brooklyn in the middle, who are holding opponents to just over 98 points per game, placing them among the top five defenses in the East. Great seats can be had for Friday's game versus the 76ers, with tickets starting at just $9 from Razorgator!
12/29/14 - The Brooklyn Nets inched closer to the .500 mark on Monday night, defeating the Sacramento Kings 107-99 to improve their record to 14-16 on the season. The win moves them to one game ahead of Miami, and just one behind Milwaukee for the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference. Mason Plumlee, whose name had been attached to trade rumors with Sacramento in recent weeks, led Brooklyn with 22 points and four rebounds in 33 minutes. Joe Johnson scored 16 points to go with six assists for the Nets, winners of four out of their last five games. They will have a quick turnaround, as they travel to Chicago to face Derek Rose and the red-hot Bulls at the United Center. Razorgator still has a limited number of seats available starting from $97, but don't wait because they're going fast!
12/23/14 - Amid swirling trade rumors involving two of their biggest stars, the Brooklyn Nets will look to maintain focus and win their second straight game after defeating the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, 110-105. Talk around the league has suggested a potential trade that would send all-star point guard Deron Williams to the Sacramento Kings, although the Nets have refused to include big man Mason Plumlee in the package, keeping the transaction effectively on ice. For his part, Plumlee has played well in spite of all the distractions, averaging over 17 points and nearly 10 rebounds over the last five games. Brooklyn will face off with the struggling Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, and tickets in to Barclays Center are still available from Razorgator starting at just $22!
12/15/14 - Brooklyn Nets' fans get a great Christmas gift when the Nets have three home games for them to enjoy over the holiday week. It kicks off on Sunday when the Detroit Pistons come to town. Tickets for that game start at just $11, so you can bring the whole family. On Tuesday, they face off against the Denver Nuggets. Get your tickets for this exciting matchup for just $18 and up. The Nets go out of town on the 26th, but they come back on Saturday to meet the Indiana Pacers. Bring a date to this night game and enjoy an evening of great basketball and cheer the Nets to victory. They're playing well as evidenced by their 2nd place rank in the Atlantic Division with a record of 10-13.
12/8/14 - After a pair of double-digit losses at home, the Brooklyn Nets will try to reverse their fortunes on the road, as they face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night at the United Center. The Nets suffered their most recent setback to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, in front of a Barclays Center crowd in Brooklyn that included Prince William and Princess Kate, among other celebrities. Deron Williams finished with 13 points and 11 assists, and Kevin Garnett added 14 points on 6-9 shooting, but it wasn't enough to overcome six Cavs players in double figures, led by 26 points from Dion Waiters. Brooklyn will try to bounce back versus the Bulls in Chicago, and Razorgator has great seats available starting at just $27.
12/1/14 - Over the past two weeks, the Brooklyn Nets have been alternating between winning and losing. Their 102-84 loss against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday continues that trend. Despite their inconsistent winning record, the Nets still maintain a ratio of 6-9, which is not bad considering that they are second for the Atlantic Division. The Toronto Raptors (13-4) have built up a sizable lead, but the Nets still have a shot to catch them. Brooklyn will be taking on the New York Knicks on Tuesday, who shouldn't put up too much of a fight with their 4-14 win rate. Then the Nets are starting a series of home games which hopefully will give them the edge they need to start building up some wins. They take on the San Antonio Spurs first and tickets start at $8.
11/25/14 - The hopes that the Brooklyn Nets were turning their luck around were dashed on Saturday when the Nets lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a close 87-99 game. They were able to end their five-game losing streak on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but they were unable to repeat their win. On the bright side, this is only one loss and the Nets are still sitting at 2nd for the Atlantic Division. At 5-8, there is more than enough opportunity to pull ahead and top their division, especially if their next few games go well. Brooklyn is taking on the Philadelphia 76ers, who are yet to get a victory in this season, so their winning streak may just start on Wednesday the 26th.
11/17/14 - It was a rough game for the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers. They were one step behind in the first three quarters, but shot out an incredible comeback in the final 20 minutes, scoring 21 points over Portland's 17. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough to pull off a victory, falling just short at 87-97. Sitting at 4-5, this is Brooklyn's third loss in a row. They are, however, still in second for their division, just ahead of Boston. Now that they've finished an away leg of their tour, their upcoming home games seem to be the perfect chance to turn things around. On Monday, they face the Miami Heat, and on Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks. Tickets start at $10 and $8.
11/10/14 - Another victory for the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday brings them to 4-2. The 96-104 game was led by Bojan Bogdanovic with his season high 22 points. Their opponents, the Orlando Magic, played a tight game which was close until the very end. In addition to Bogdanovic, Mason Plumlee scored 12 points and got 10 rebounds and Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett each had seven assists. The Nets have an impressive win ratio and will be looking to add to it on Wednesday the 12th against the Suns in Phoenix, followed immediately by a game against the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on Thursday the 13th. Both games are nearly sold out, but a few tickets can still be found for around $100. If you are looking to attend, this is your last chance.
11/3/14 - The Brooklyn Nets took the win 116-85 to Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night's game, the biggest home-opening game in franchise history. The Nets shot 47.8 percent from the three-point line, 52.4 percent from the floor and 17-for-19 free throws. After halftime, Thunder's Sebastian Telfair scored a driving layup but the Nets responded by pushing the lead back to 21 with a 7-0 run. Brook Lopez, back from his season-ending foot surgery, scored 18 points for his first regular-season game. Alan Anderston scored 18 points as well and Deron Williams had 17 points. See the Nets take on the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Be sure to get your tickets today, starting at just $75.
8/14/14 – The Brooklyn Nets' 2014-2015 schedule was unveiled on Wednesday, and there are loads of intriguing matchups and must-attend games on slate, starting with the season opener on Oct. 19 against the Celtics. This highly anticipated game will presumably feature Kevin Garnett in his return TD Garden, Brook Lopez and Deron Williams in their post-surgery debut, plus the reveal of vaunted rookie Bojan Bogdanovic. Brooklyn will play their first game at home when KD and Oklahoma City visit Barclays Center. If you couldn't get enough of the Jason Kidd offseason drama, buy Brooklyn Nets tickets for Nov. 19, when the former coach returns as leader of the Milwaukee Bucks. The must-watch Nets-Knicks showdowns will get underway Nov. 7 (Barclays), Dec. 2 (MSG), Feb. 6 (Barclays) and Apr 1 (MSG). The early bird gets the worm, right? Select your Brooklyn Nets tickets now and lock down the best deals!
The Brooklyn Nets put their money where their mouth was and enlisted hoards of blockbuster acquisitions, including the championship duo of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, all in hopes of attaining the title in 2014. Not only did Brooklyn crush the hearts of Celtics fans everywhere, but this win-now approach of a near-$182 million payroll ultimately failed, and in spite of an impressive late-season surge, the Nets only reached so far as the second round of postseason. While not bad for their first playoff appearance since 2007, their early dispatch was granted at the hands of Finals-bound Miami, a team the squad swept in the regular season. Judging by their offseason moves, Brooklyn is ready to seek revenge and wreak havoc in the East.
Brooklyn shed Pierce, Anderson, Collins and Livingston in the offseason, giving owner Mikhail Prokhorov some breathing room. The salaries of Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Deron Williams, however, place them right back at the cap. The franchise also closed out the Jason Kidd saga last month, quickly hiring the well-respected Lionel Hollins in his place. Plus, the addition of pro-ready rookies Markel Brown, Xavier Thomas and Cory Jefferson will infuse the roster with youthful energy, making this team an even greater threat in the 2014-2015 season. Can these Atlantic Division contenders take advantage of the Eastern Conference's weak top slots and take the crown? Buy your Brooklyn Nets tickets in 2014-2015 to find out yourself!

Used to reduce pain are initiated pre-emptively during the surgical period and continued well into the postoperative recovery period. It is often erroneously presumed that an animal is not in pain, when there is no obvious change in behavior. Pain can be difficult to detect because of individual and species variation. "Typical" signs of pain include guarding the painful area, vocalization, licking, biting, self mutilation, signs of depression, grinding of teeth, restlessness, lack of mobility, failure to groom, abnormal posture, changes in sleep patterns, and failure to eat or drink. Pain can be assumed to have been present if administration of analgesics causes these signs to disappear.
Consultation with the attending veterinarian is recommended since there is tremendous variation between species as to their response to analgesic drugs. Limited animal studies have been conducted and for many species there will be widely different published dosage schedules. Never extrapolate from human data, please consult with the veterinarian.
Guidelines for the administration of analgesics
In addition to the care which must be taken when choosing the proper dosage and schedule for a particular species, different analgesics are indicated for different types of pain:
Management of Drugs
Drugs which are considered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to be controlled substances must be stored in a locked cabinet in a secured area (e.g. behind two locked doors). Controlled substances must never be left unattended since the potential for theft and misuse of these drugs is high. In the past, the DEA allowed some latitude in research facilities and did not closely observe who exactly administered these drugs to the research animal. This is no longer true. Therefore, each investigator with a DEA license must personally supervise the administration of these drugs. In addition, OVR may no longer transfer controlled drugs to research staff.
All drugs, whether or not they are DEA regulated, must be properly labeled and included on the label must be the expiration date. Expiration dates should be checked periodically, at least once every three months, and expired drugs immediately discarded. It is a violation to use expired drugs on animals involved in research procedures (there are a few limited occasions wherein expired drugs may be used for terminal, non-survival procedures). University Animal Care staff will discard any drug they observe to be improperly labeled, or in use after the expiration date has passed. At the minimum the label on a drug shall include:

Combined Choruses and Orchestra Give Free Concert
You are hereHome/ Combined Choruses and Orchestra Give Free Concert
The Boston Conservatory Combined Choruses Perform Free Concert on December 12, 2013
The Boston Conservatory's two choral ensembles and its orchestra are joining forces for their biggest performance this year. The Boston Conservatory Combined Choruses will hold a free concert on Thursday, December 12 at 8 p.m. at Northeastern University's Fenway Center, where they will perform works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi.
The Boston Conservatory Chorale, accompanied by the Orchestra, will perform Haydn's Harmoniemesse. The piece is the last of the six mass settings Haydn composed in Vienna in 1802, following his return from London. It is in B-flat Major and divided into six movements. The title, Harmoniemesse, was coined in response to the orchestral wind instruments' unusually prominent parts, as "harmonie" is the standard German term for a group of wind instruments.
"This concert is a fantastic opportunity for our choral ensembles and Orchestra to work together," says George Case, the new director of choral activities at the Conservatory, who will conduct the Chorale. "The works selected for this performance really showcase both the vocal and instrumental talent we have here at The Boston Conservatory and create a powerful overall experience."
The Boston Conservatory Women's Chorus, conducted by Beth Willer, will perform two pieces with the Orchestra. The first will be Pärt's L'abbé Agathon, which was composed in 2004 for soprano and includes four violas and four celli. It is based on a fourth century legend in which a hermit, Agathon, must pass several tests by an angel sent by God, who disguises himself as a leper.
The second piece that the Women's Chorus and Orchestra will perform is Vivaldi's Gloria. Composed in the early 18th century, the piece was among several vocal and instrumental works Vivaldi created for the young women of the Ospedale della Pietà—a convent and orphanage known for its musical performances for nobility and foreign visitors. Under Willer's direction, the Women's Chorus will aim to perform the 12-movement piece just as it was performed in its premiere—with an entirely treble vocal ensemble.
"One of The Boston Conservatory's many strengths is that our choral conductors are also both current performers," says Abra Bush, Director of The Boston Conservatory Music Division.
"This helps them understand and relate more to their students both in and out of the classroom." Willer founded Boston's Lorelei Ensemble, for which she still acts as artistic director and frequently sings; Case frequently performs as a regular member of and soloist with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Atlanta Singers, Meridian Chorale, Skylark Ensemble, Marsh Chapel Choir and Carnegie Festival Chorus.
Case joined the Conservatory this past July. Prior to that, he served as the artistic director of the Arts Chorale at the University of Michigan. "We are looking forward to getting to know George better as a musician and a conductor, both with the Chorale and Orchestra," says Bush. "His fresh approach to the study of choral music will help take Conservatory students to the next level." Case is currently in the process of re-working the choral program. Among the changes is his creation of a new conductor's choir. Although the choir will not perform, its members will receive a small scholarship to work with the Conservatory's choral conducting students.
The Boston Conservatory Combined Choruses will perform with The Boston Conservatory Orchestra for free on Thursday, December 12 at 8 p.m. at The Fenway Center at Northeastern University, located at 77 St. Stephen Street.

So, wait, you want to "do in" a pro-life Democrat, Heath Shuler, in his efforts to replace the pro-abortion Nancy Pelosi?
The shadow oligarchs, who made Nancy the target of many attack ads -speaking of her in angry and drogatory ways , will roll out more dinero during the rump session and in january to continue the targeting.Such is the sad state of our democracy where respectful partisanship slips away and, as was noted elsewhere, srvice to the people is secondary to obtaining power.
Heath Shuler wouldn't get the job.
She can count votes, but now she won't have to count as high, so her job should be easier.
Your sneering comments are getting tiresome, Mark Proska.
She is not an attractive personality and, like it or not, an enormous political liability for the Democrats. Her continuation in a visible leadership position would be a huge mistake.
GOOD FOR HER!What a great woman. What an inspiration to all. Steadfast, courageous, forthright.(Happy Guy Fawkes Day!)
Former and future speakers of the House have continued in their leadership positions after their party lost its majority, as long as they could count on member support. I'm referring to the years before 1955 when parties exchanged places regularly, and we seem to be in a similar cycle now. I would say that Speaker Pelosi did a credible job furthering the people's business under very difficult circumstances.
Nancy Pelosi is a great woman and a courageous leader - gutsy, loyal, feminine and true to her principles. There would have been no health care reform without her tenacity and spirited leadership.
Sam Rayburn served as House Speaker 3 times following the loss of his job twice due to Republican takeover of that august body:1940-19451949-19511955-1961Sister Nancys just getting a good start. You go, gurrl!
A candidate who respects our fundamental Right to Life endowed to us from God and God's intention for Marriage and The Family would be Good for all of us.
Holloway is right on.. Now that the Republicans have the House majority,can we expect no more abortions after Feb 1 2011.?. Nancy Pelosi got the Stupak amendments passed so there would be no Federal funding for abortions and the start of heath care for 40 million. . Pro-life Stupak resigned and Pelosi, my congresswoman, is an Italian Catholic grandmother with a conservative back round yet is still held up as a raging lefty by the ill informed. What are the Republicans going to do about abortions and Jobs.?. Nada.. They think the 2% of the rich getting a big tax cut, at the deficit expense, will bring in jobs. Ha..Even Whitman fired her housekeeper so there is ground to make up. Buying Hampton LI homes [no new ones are being made], buying Mercedes and BMWs does not bring in American jobs. Wall Street laughs at the Tea Partiers.
It's up the House Democratic caucus to decide whether they would be best served keeping Pelosi on as leader. There's certainly precedent for doing so, as Jimmy Mac notes (there are other examples). Still, it's a fair question that they have to ask themselves whether Pelosi really optimizes their chances of regaining the majority, or indeed achieving their legislative objectives in the coming congress. So many Democrats in this campaign seemed eager to...disavow her.But given that the caucus is much more liberal now with the loss of most of the swing districts, I expect she'll be voted back in.But I'm astonished that Catholics should be so eager to see Pelosi in leadership. We can quibble about the records of pro-life Democrats like Reid or Stupak, but there is at least the sense that an affirmation of life is being sought in some tangible way. We can likewise quibble about the Stupak Amendment which Pelosi (reluctantly) allowed to come to a vote. Pelosi, however, is as staunchly anti-life as they come in Congress. She has a 100% rating for NARAL. She has voted against every restriction on abortion and in favor of embryonic stem cell research, and for government funding for both at every turn. Planned Parenthood has even given her its "Champion of Women's Health" award. And given that she in an avowed Catholic, the resulting scandal is that much graver. Her achievement of other legislative objectives, however, worthy, cannot really offset that in a Catholic moral calculus.
I'm more ambivalent about the prospect of Speaker Pelosi continuing on as the Democratic Leader in the House, and I'm certainly more reticent to describe her recent tenure as "terrific," per the original post. Republicans are far superior at whipping their membership into line on any given major legislative endeavor; a distinction due in no small part to the fact that their base is far less fractious than that of the Dems. The Democratic Party as it currently exists is a fictitious monolith; it is at best a begrudging coalition of narrow, single-interest factions (unions, environmentalists, womens' groups, foreign policy types of a certain bent, etc.) whose larger domestic priorities do not nearly so neatly overlap as do those of the Republicans. With the disclaimer that I do not pretend to possess an intimate first-hand familiarity with Speaker Pelosi's strategies and machinations behind closed doors, it seems to me that she did a competent--but not "terrific"--job at herding the proverbial cats that constitute her Congressional membership on healthcare, financial reform, and Waxman-Markey but part of me wonders if the outcome could have been accelerated, and perhaps the substantive content improved, if a more capable individual were at the reins. (Despite my immense admiration for our President, I think perhaps, in his desire to let Congressional Dems be in the driver's seat on healthcare, he may have been slightly too restrained when it came to exercising leadership on this and other policy efforts.) I believe Speaker Pelosi is intelligent, able, and, so far as I can tell, of considerable personal integrity. I'm also not convinced she should continue on as the Dems' leader right now.
"Another first: Nancy Pelosi becomes the first female ex-speaker of the House."
My final comments on this:the sad poltical divide in this country ic clealry evident in the posts here.Talking about moral calculus, I just got a mesage from our state office on aging to expect in the new Martinez regime that the cabinet position on aging wil probably be folded in to a larger administrative position.the expectation of maintaining direct senior services including vital transportation, meals and services to maintain fragile seniors at home, a significant number of whom are poor in this state, will be in jepopardy.But those are not (for some) "life" issues - in fact it seems there's only one. Instead of taking seriously a bipartisan attempt to fix Medicare/Social security, etc. we'll see the continued push to expand the wealth of oligarchs at the cost to the poor, justified as caring for "our" grandchildren.If you saw Andy Card waxing on about this on CNN - forget the bipartisan commission - the new tsunami in Congress will have their own brilliant plan.There's litlte I or any of us can do, it sems, about to cthe current political divide, bu tI hav ea hard time listening to the "Catholic" justifications of the tea party politicos.
Ditto, Bob. Just as bread and circuses distracted our ancient counterparts from what their rulers were really up to, so the one issue serves the same purpose today. The antipathy to the old will be given free rein now. I wonder which of the Speakers who preceded Nancy Pelosi were "pro-life" and which were "anti-life". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Speakers_of_the_United_States_House...
My vote is that Nancy will do better before Jesus than the phony pro life leaders who use this issue as a political football. Many presidents have tried to enact health care legislation and this president would not have done it without Nancy.A woman with moral fiber. Too much to take for all those who prefer the tax cut for the rich over health care for the middle class. History will be good to her. Not so with so many American bishops who lost their moral fiber.
The Democratic party has been purged of their lukewarm congresslosers thanks to the Tea party. In the House, Dems should re-elect Pelosi as minority leader, pass tax relief for the 98%, pass the end of dontaskdonttell, all during the lame duck session. Let the Repubs in the Senate filibuster all thru Christmas and let the yokels see who they elected. The Dems should declare political war on Republicans and take no prisoners for two years. Just as the Repubs declared war on Obama..The yokels will nominate Palin in 2012 primaries and lose big time in the general election
Hello Gerelyn,Just as bread and circuses distracted our ancient counterparts from what their rulers were really up to, so the one issue serves the same purpose today. The antipathy to the old will be given free rein now.With respect, over a million lives (and more overseas whose elimination we are helping to fund) snuffed out each year is far more than...a distraction. This is life and death, not bread and circuses. The cynicism of some (not all, but some) of t'other party's leaders in exploiting this issue for electoral gain does not absolve adamantly, genuinely pro-abortion pols (some of which are also GOP) from their own culpability, no matter how good they might be on other issues. All the other rights or advantages do not matter if you are not alive to enjoy them.I wonder which of the Speakers who preceded Nancy Pelosi were pro-life and which were anti-life.Less than we'd like.But it's always been tough finding a good fit for Catholic values. There is no Catholic (or call it Christian Democrat) Party. I think it would be remarkable how successful the Democrats would be among Catholics if they could just embrace life - on abortion, euthanasia, ESCR. There are more than a few who reluctantly vote GOP because of this issue, but find it an awkward fit otherwise. Alas, many Democrats will vote for Pelosi in some measure precisely because she has been such a staunch defender of abortion rights. On this, as on so many other issues, she has been a very effective legislative leader.
Mrs. Steinfels--I'm sorry you found my comment sneeringly tiresome, I actually meant it as light-heartedly humorous. I can't help but wonder if you would have thought the comment sneering if the object were, say, Sarah Palin, instead of Nancy Pelosi. For what it's worth, I wish Nancy Pelosi well in her bid to become minority leader. I hope she holds that post for a long, long time--at least 2 more face lifts.
"The Democratic Party as it currently exists is a fictitious monolith; it is at best a begrudging coalition of narrow, single-interest factions (unions, environmentalists, womens groups, foreign policy types of a certain bent, etc.) whose larger domestic priorities do not nearly so neatly overlap as do those of the Republicans.:"Michael Bayer --Interesting comment. It seems to me that if either party is a single-issue one it is the GOP -- it mainly represents the interests of business, and the interests of big business in particular almost always win out. Why do you think that people with different but non-compatible interests can't be unified in a single party? As I see it, the Democratic Party for all its faults it does manage to represent a far larger group of people than the Republican Party does. And what's wrong with interest groups as such? Just because their priorities differ that does not imply that more than one constituency can't be satisfied at one time. I'm curious -- what do you see as the predominant interest groups of the Republican Party? I see them largely as business interest groups which too often makes them positively anti-labor. While there are some anti-abortion interest groups which gives a lot of money to the GOP candidates, we just saw how much support the they gave to the pro-life Democrats, so one must wonder about the real motivation of some of them anyway. Do you see PACs as interest groups? I do, and they're practically all for the sake of business interests. Not that I"m anti-business as such, especially small businesses. But the financial interests (investment banks, Wall Street, even the neighborhood bankers) ran this economy into the ground in its pursuit of greed, a pursuit mainly made possible by the Republicans repealing the act which regulated those industries so successfully for many years. In other words, which are the interest groups which dominate Republican congresses besides the business ones? Or do you think that Republican politicians don't vote for the hands that feed them?
It seems to me that the most pressing issue in U.S. politics today is getthing representatives of the two parties to agree to work for the good of the country. I didn't see much in the way Pelosi exercised her authority as Speaker to suggest that she's going to be much interested in bi-partisans cooperation. She's not alone in being partisan, of course, but why place any great hope in her.
Fake Catholics still abound a commonweal I see. Nancy Peliosi has aided and abetted in million abortions through her legistlation. She should quit and repent live a life of penance before it too late.
Fr. Komonchak, please tell us why you think that Sen. McConnell or Rep. Boehner are goingto be interested in bi-partisan cooperation?
I wish E.J. Dionne had asked Speaker Pelosi to give her take on the defeat of so many pro-life Democrats in the election.
Oops -- "noncompatible interests" should have been "compatible interests", and "pursuit of greed" should have been "pursuit of money".
Ann,You seem to have missed my point entirely. I'll let my previous post stand. All the best, MB.
This just gets better and better.Were I a progressive I would be looking to the future, not rewarding her for the past. Does she really think she is the best person to lead them to victory? She is the most disliked politician in the country - even more disliked than Dick Cheney ever was. So is this about her party or about her? I for one wish her a very long reign as dem leader.Ann,You say - "But the financial interests (investment banks, Wall Street, even the neighborhood bankers) ran this economy into the ground in its pursuit of greed, a pursuit mainly made possible by the Republicans repealing the act which regulated those industries so successfully for many years."Nice slogan, but where's the proof? Every, and I mean every, piece of deregulation over the past 30 years has been bi-partisan, and a lot of it was Democratic sponsored. If you want an example of someone who almost always sides with banks, look no further than the stalwart progressive Barney Frank. Moreover, how is more regulation going to fix a problem that was caused in part by the failure to enforce the regulations we already had?
On the one hand you have the new majority leader saying that US health care is number 1, and then you have the academics saying it is 49th because you let your seniors die.Who is right? who is really pro life?http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0622294120101007
I'm pretty damn sick of seeing Kristen Wiig's impression of her, so if Pelosi gets benched? Worth it.
I think it would be just terrific if Nancy Pelosi, a woman and a Roman Catholic, remains in a visible leadership position. I respect Demoocrats who actually behave like Democrats; we neede more like her.
Mr. Dauenhauer: Your wrote: "Fr. Komonchak, please tell us why you think that Sen. McConnell or Rep. Boehner are going to be interested in bi-partisan cooperation?"I don't know why you think I might think that; I said nothing to suggest that either McConnell or Boehner is going to be interested in bi-partisan cooperation. Perhaps you could tell me why you think Pelosi will be, and why I should not take your comment as indicative of the sad state of political conversation in the country today.
"gutsy, loyal, feminine and true to her principles"Not sure why femininity is listed among the traits that made Pelosi a good speaker, and I don't think they really helped. In the end, she was no less a lightning rod than Bella Abzug, who was all of those things, except for the feminine part.Just sayin'.The thing I liked best about Pelosi during this whole political campaign was that Diane Sawyer tried REALLY hard to make her cry, and Pelosi didn't fall for it. As opposed to Boehner, who so impressed himself with his own hard luck story that he was moved to tears. Not that we haven't seen Joe Biden do something similar.
Joe,The more important question is whether the president is willing to engage in some horse-trading to get things done. By large margins, the American public expects him to. They don't seem as convinced that Republicans will be willing to compromise. Pelosi is a deal-maker. So is Boehner. The problem for him is that he has to deal with Tea Party fundraisers. I recommend Bill Galston's piece here: http://www.tnr.com/blog/william-galston/78752/american-support-political...
Fr. Komonchak, in my view Nancy Pelosi has an admirable record of working for social justice. Is she a candidate for canonization? No. Has she been an effective leader during the past two years on health care, financial regulation, and other important issues? Yes. Has she been unfairly demonized by Republican smear campaigns? I certainly think so. Has any republican leader or candidate for leadership shown a comparable concern for social justice? I may be wrong, but not to my knowledge.In that context and in the context of this thread, you singled her out for your criticism. So may I ask you again. What do you think of the Republican Congressional leadership as a model for what this country needs now.As for how you should take my comments, that's of course up to you.
"Nice slogan, but wheres the proof? Every, and I mean every, piece of deregulation over the past 30 years has been bi-partisan, and a lot of it was Democratic sponsored. If you want an example of someone who almost always sides with banks, look no further than the stalwart progressive Barney Frank. Moreover, how is more regulation going to fix a problem that was caused in part by the failure to enforce the regulations we already had?"Sean --The Glass-Seagall Act was for generations the Democratic lynchpin of financial regulation. There were recessions like this one while it was in force. It was repealed by the mainly Republican House and President, but not one Senator voted to repeal it. Since then Gramm-Frank Act was a Republican substitute, and -- look around you -- this is a dreadful economic situation. Now we have a Volker Act, a Democratic substitution, and a compromise. Volker himself thinks it's too soft. WE'll see.Those conservatives with romantic ideas of free enterprise need to take Marx a bit more seriously. Marx was the first to see clearly that capital is what makes the business world go round, which, of course, you conservatives also see. But he also saw that if capital is not distributed across the economic system, the system doesn't work then either. His solution to mal-distribution (his brand to socialism) didn't work. Our only alternative seems to be stringent regulation of the financial institutions, but you're right -- if the regulations aren't enforced the system won't work. My main point is that Democrats are better at regulation than the Republicans. (Since most Republicans have laissez-faire inclinations, it could hardly be otherwise.) The evidence is that under the Democrats we didn't have a recession like this. But the Republican administrations, with some help from Bill Clinton, gave us this one. It's up to you to prove otherwise. Try the new little Skidelsky book about Keynes. It might help open your eyes, if, that is, you're willing to really look at the other side with the very cold eye that seeing the ugly facts requires.
Oops -- should have been "there were NO recessions like this one while the Democrats were in power".
In my original post, thinking of Republicans, I said that Pelosi is not alone in being a partisan, but it's that fact about her that keeps me from seeing great promise with regard to what the country most needs. I wasn't commenting on any other aspect or element.
Ann- I think a lot of Democratic Senators ultimately signed on to Financial Modernization. I believe my own Senator Schumer voted for it (I never forgave him, and never voted for him again!). Dorgan and Wellstone and half a dozen others voted against it, but a lot of Democrats signed on. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/11/glass-steagall-act-the-se_n_201.... I also agree with Sean that the mess we're in now is not just because of bad legislation, but because of regulatory failure. For the last decade, there hasn't been much meaningful bank regulation at all; what's the use of strong laws if no one's bothering to enforce them?
I don't want to push a fight, but let me say a word about "bipartisan cooperation." Like gene McCarraher and others, I believe there has been "bipartisan cooperation" in neglecting the poor, in playing games with immigration, in being unwilling to face up to the health needs of our poorest citizens, in favoring the wealthy in taxes, etc. What we now hear from the Republican leadership is that their terms for bipartisan cooperation are more of the same. From her record, i believe that Pelosi will do her very best to prevent the Republican version of bipartisanship undoing what meager steps toward social justice be undone. Bipartisanship for the sake of bipartisanship has nothing to do with justice.
Bipartnership for the sake of justice, on the other hand, is a worthy goal.
The problem, I think, is that it takes two to tango, as they say, and Democrats have not had any dance partners for a long time. The question of bipartisanship is best posed to Republicans, then you can see what there is to work with.
That was my point, David: two to tango.
Two to tango, yes. From one of the potential dance partners:http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/01/23/obama-to-gop-i-won/http://www.y..., anyone?
MP: jejune!
Ann,What about the recession of 79-82? I know we keep talking about this as the "Great" Recession, but unemployment was higher, and more importantly inflation was through the roof. Remember 18% mortgages? Gas lines?What does it mean to be better at regulation anyway? More regulation doesn't mean better regulation - especially when it's unenforceable and drives poor economic choices.
Joe, I don't understand your point -- if the GOP isn't a willing partner, what is gained by dumping Pelosi?
Sean --The OPEC problem was in 1973. There was a recession starting in 1980, but unemployment went only to 9%, or so I find at Wikipedia. Whose figures are you using?
David: My point was a simple one. I didn't propose dumping Pelosi. I meant that, on the basis of her record as Speaker, I did not have much hope that she would be willing to engage in an effort to achieve bipartisan co-operation in order to meet the serious problems facing the country. Period. The thread is about Nancy Pelosi; that's why I didn't talk about anyone else. I didn't say or imply that Republicans are any more eager for such co-operation. In my view, obstacles to co-operation exist on both sides, and have to be addressed from both sides. I'm afraid I don't see these things in terms of black and white, assigned according to political party.
Obstacles to cooperation exist within the parties as well as between them. That health care reform got passed at all, I take it, was due to the Dem leaderships' (Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn) ability to convince members whose divisions are as deep as those between Republicans and Democrats. That's may not be bipartisanship, but it is the ability to get things done among people who deeply disagree with one another.
AnnBLS stats - the average rates for 1981 and 82 were 9.6 and 9.7 respectively but the rate exceeded 10% for several months in late 82.There were two gasoline crises - one in 1973 and another in 1979 and into 80. I remember those lines better I guess since I was buying gas then.It's also a lot harder getting by in a recession when it is accompanied by inflation, which we don't have now - but the Obama administration and the Fed are working on that too.
BLS stats the average rates for 1981 and 82 were 9.6 and 9.7 respectively but the rate exceeded 10% for several months in late 82.Not to be too alarmist, but past recessions were not accompanied by the kind of credit/mortage defaults, real-estate and other asset devaluations and the collapse of financial institutions like those we've seen now -- all resulting in the very real possibility of a world-wide financial meltdown.We won't be shrugging this one off any time soon.
Sean and Antonio ==Thanks for the stats. One of the pundits said yesterday that there is a large increase in the price of gas expected in the next day or two. The economic problem of gas prices (not to mention the disappearance of petroleum from this Earth) has never been squarely faced by Americans with the exception of the greens -- and Obama, but he has become the national scapegoat for all our problems. We seem incapable of looking ahead.
Joe, just checking in here...I also think I dont "see these things in terms of black and white, assigned according to political party." But it was Obama and Pelosi and the Democrats who have sought bipartisanship and compromise far more than the Republicans. That's indisputable fact, and continues to be so. So I think having political leaders like Pelosi would work toward the goals you'd like, not against it. I think it's important not to see different things as equals when they're not, because that is really a false equivalency and a false balance that is just another kind of blinkered, "black-and-white" way of thinking. Facts matter, in my view.
Regarding bipartisanship: I can think of five major legislative votes in the House during the last Congress:* Stimulus bill - every Republican voted against it* Cape and Trade - every Republican except for eight voted against it* House version of Health Care Reform - every Republican except one voted against it* House vote on final/Senate version of Health Care Reform - every Republican voted against it* Financial Reform bill - every Republican except three voted against itAt one time, both parties represented a broader ideological spectrum than is now the case - there were more liberal Republicans (particularly from the Northeast) and more conservative Democrats (particularly from the South). Thus, an issue such as financial reform could be expected to have both supporters and opponents in both parties. Bipartisanship was a necessity in order to round up the votes to pass legislation that cleaved both parties.In the list of leglislation abovem three of the legislative initiatives - the two health care bills and cap & trade - represent an ideological agenda that, by its very nature, can't realistically be expected to garner conservative support. The only way to be bipartisan about bills such as those would be to weaken the legislation such that it doesn't address the purpose for which it is intended. The stimulus and financial reform bills were examples of issues that could, in my opinion, have drawn bipartisan support, at least in theory. But Republican votes weren't needed to pass them, the Republicans saw political advantage to opposing them, and so bipartisanship wasn't seriously pursued.In the last Congress, and in the upcoming Congress, the only times we will see bipartisanship in the House is when there is an overriding need that is perceived to be non-ideological. For example, I would expect that appropriations bills that fund the war in Afghanistan will be passed with bipartisan support.
According to the AP, there is some slippage in support for Pelosi as minority leader, and a divisive, racially-tinged battle for the #2 position in the caucus.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/news/ap/politics/2010/Nov/11/democrats_...
Today, Congressman Rangel when asked about the Hoyer-Clyburn dust up said the obvious thing: "Put another chair at the table." sortabipartisan.
A good piece on Pelosi's positives and negatives by Karen Tumulty:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/11/AR201011...
Thanks for the link David, definitely worth a read. Does anyone else think, as I do, that a piece of the vilification of Pelosi is simply that she's not a white male? On the other hand, it looks like she'll win the votes. Is that because the liberal Dems don't want Steny Hoyer, white male and moderate?

Being instructor is really great job. For most of us is a part time job. So yes having a job, family and second job, takes dedication, energy, and motivation. I have been an instructor for almost 22 years, and staying motivated is important. We all get stuck in a routine and we have bad times, when you feel without energy not motivated. I do have simple rules that I follow and are helping me thru years of teaching.
Do not take "Too many classes": I believe that between 3 – 6 classes per week is quite good number so that you can stay motivated and that you do not get too much. Spinning® classes are for your participants, so do not take them as your own training, and yes you need to have time to stay fit, so free days for your own trainings. We need to have our life in balance. Time for family, friends, reading books, watching TV or just having time for you is important. If you spend every evening in gym teaching classes – I bet after couple of months, not years you will start missing "normal lifeJ" - things that ordinary people do.
KISS: Do you remember "Keep it simple and specific" Do not complicate your classes to much. Too much information's is confusing for members and you need to know what you are talking about. So setting a specific goals for single class, will give you creativity and you will be able to do a profile in 15 minutes. When I am teaching a clinic we do speak about goals that our members have. Mostly these goals are long term (like losing weight, getting fit…). But to be creative and that you as an instructor do not start repeat yourself – set up specific goals for a class (specific goal can be: pedal technique, breathing techniques, smooth transitions ...) It is fun and gives you variety and you can be better prepared for a class. Members love to learn and if you will not teach them they will try to get information's somewhere else.
Become organized (if you are not): Do the profile the same time of day and the same days. Putting classes (Profiles) together should become a part of your schedule routine. Let me give you an example: I do all my profiles on Monday morning for the whole week. I have been doing this for 20 years and it is the day and hour for a profile. I do not skip this routine. We have busy life's , often something comes unexpected and being ready on time, knowing that everything is ready makes you calm and you can easily deal with this unexpected situation. So make it a routine.
Organize your music: It is much easier if you organize your music. Have? It depends on individuals: by genre, by BPM; by terrain, by energy zones, by emotions – depends what you prefer. If you have your music organized you will find the right track quicker.
Go for continuing education and events. Everybody needs somebody that moves him out off his comfort zone. In past 20 years I have visited many events, done continuing education. Read books about training, psychology, physiology, anatomy. Go for a clinic for second time or third. Get back to basic. We are trainers – teachers this is an important role and members trust us. They take us as an idols and that is huge responsibility, so being well educated and being updated with information's is for me MUST BE . You will be able to have loyal members just because you give more.
Have fun. If it becomes to frustrating, and takes too much time you will not enjoy anymore. So everything needs to be fun and simple.
The longer you teach better you get .Many times I see instructor so motivated after clinic and then they start to teach and motivation goes quick away. Being instructor is great job, but you have to work on it, you have to work on yourself. And yes members notice when you are motivated and if you have experience. Google is a powerful tool so often members have knowledge and information's and for my opinion it is necessary to be well educated and have wider knowledge about training. So probably 2 day clinic will not be enough to become a good, knowledgably instructor that can lead classes next 10 years. It is a personal decision what kind of instructor you want be.

The EP as Music's Launchpad
When the new album "Spring Break...Here to Party" by country singer Luke Bryan was released last month, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart.
But it wasn't a new album at all. "Spring Break..." was actually assembled from four digital EPs, extended play releases consisting of four or five songs on each. Beginning in 2009, the Capitol Records Nashville label released one EP every March to coincide with spring break, then bundled most of that material together this spring and added two new songs to make an album.
Bite-Size Entertainment
Invented around 1950, the EP was long considered the misfit format of the recording industry: Shorter than an album and longer than a single, EPs generally run about 30 minutes and top out at a half-dozen songs. They've proven especially easy to digest as digital downloads or streams, because they can give listeners a hearty sample of an unfamiliar act without asking them to commit to a full-length (and full-price) album. As a result, they've become crucial to the way many new acts introduce themselves.
"It's this game of establishing a relationship between an artist and a fan. Shorter releases, more frequently, are a great way to do that," says Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard.
Having always relied on hit singles to break new artists, major labels are increasingly signing acts to EP deals as a way of testing their potential as album artists. At the same time, as record companies experiment with nontraditional release strategies, they're using EPs to portion out material, build marketing momentum and tap into the playlist culture that has made the packaging of music less relevant to some listeners.
When Republic Records signed the Icelandic folk-rock band Of Monsters and Men last year, its jubilant song "Little Talks" was just starting to get radio airplay. The group had already recorded an album in Iceland, so its new label quickly "polished" four of the songs and released them as an EP. The goal was to give curious fans a bigger sample of the music, and get a head start on sales. Priced at $4.29, the digital EP "Into the Woods" probably qualified as an impulse buy for some shoppers. It sold 55,000 copies. "Psychologically, it's not as intimidating as buying an album with 12 songs from a group I've never heard of," says Avery Lipman, president and co-founder of Republic Records, which is owned by Universal.
And thanks to a feature on iTunes called "complete my album," people who had purchased Of Monsters and Men's EP got the option of paying an additional $2.70 to download the other six songs on the album, titled "My Head Is an Animal," when it was released in the U.S. four months later. That album, now priced at $9.99 on iTunes, has sold 746,000 U.S. copies.
"It's almost like layaway," Mr. Lipman says, noting that after the full album was released, the earlier EP was deleted from the iTunes store. "The EP is kind of like a mayfly. Its purpose is to get up and birth an album, then die."
Last year the young rock band Foxygen signed a record deal, due in part to the promise of a seven-song collection the group had created independently in Queens, N.Y. But those recordings were deemed to sound too scrappy to serve as a proper debut album, says the band's label, the independent Jagjaguwar. So the company released the seven-song effort as an EP, called "Take the Kids Off Broadway," which was also available on vinyl, though not on CD.
That served as a trial balloon for listeners who might appreciate Foxygen's sound, a frenetic, sardonic update of 1960s Rolling Stones and Kinks. The EP also gave the label material to make inroads with music critics and journalists, laying the groundwork for a tour and eventual release of its official album last January.
"For a label team, an EP is good stretching for the real campaign" around the album launch, says Jagjaguwar co-owner Chris Swanson.
At a time when record companies were battling to establish a dominant format, RCA Victor introduced "extended play" records as a competitor to Columbia's earlier "long playing" (or LP) format. Over time, the term EP became a catchall for midlength releases.
Despite the category's new upside for marketing, the most memorable EPs stand on their own as compact works of art. The Beatles "Twist and Shout" release was classified as an EP with four songs, as were some of the first efforts from seminal bands such as Fugazi, the Pixies, R.E.M. and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
One key to the EP's enduring charm in music culture is the invisible asterisk it carries—nobody judges an EP as if it's a flagship album release. That can take the pressure off an act at a formative time.
"We talk with our bands about thinking short-form. That gets them to slow down and be more myopic about just how to nail a song," Mr. Swanson says. "It doesn't have to be your novel."

One of our clients, whose website we built, is a manufacturer of ultra-high-end bicycles. They would like to distribute kiosks -- basically, locked-down Windows XP boxes from Dell -- at some of their higher-profile dealers. The kiosks would be limited to browsing the manufacturer's website. I'm out of my element here, and would appreciate some help and/or good reading material (and/or step-by-step instructions ;-]) on:
- Securing the desktop from casual stupidity. The kiosks are being deployed to high-end cycling boutiques, so given the clientele, malicious attacks will be extremely rare.
- Allowing access to specific web addresses only.
- Restoring a kiosk remotely. Ideally the solution is simple enough for a bicycle salesperson to handle with a minimum of over-the-phone hand-holding.
Finally, I am perfectly open to responses that amount to "you are way over your head here, consult a professional." I argued as much when the job was proposed in the first place, but I was convinced to try taking this on myself before finding someone with more extensive systems administration experience.

At any point, can the Holy Spirit take control of a person completely so that the person may act beyond his control? I am trying to understand the Biblical view on this. My understanding is that the Holy Spirit is a submissive spirit, but, I have heard people say such as "Holy Spirit was controlling me". Looking forward eagerly for the answers.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Whether or not it is technically possible, it would contradict the nature of God to do so.
To overwhelm a person dispenses with free will, and most Christians view God as granting mankind the ability to choose him freely. As illustrated in Hosea
and Isaiah
God's nature is one of patience and long suffering towards his people. A formulation that occurs throughout the old testament testifies to his longsuffering as well:
In short, the nature of God is to woo, not whelm.
It is much like the old saw "Can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it?" In truth, God cannot, not because he lacks adequate strength, but rather because doing so would violate his own attributes. In the case of the rock, God is all-powerful. His omnipotence constrains him to be all-powerful. In the case of not overriding free will, his love constrains his action. Because God is all-loving, his attributes constrain him from overwhelming those he loves.
The Holy Spirit definitely compels people to act in accordance with the will of God (e.g. Acts 20:22)
But, that is a far cry from a demon possession like experience.
Yes it is possible. However, God prefers you doing what he wants you to do willingly.
Here are the references
This passage is interesting, you should read the whole chapter. Saul went to Naioth to do something else but something different happened
The effect of Spirit is likened to being drunk with wine. When you are drunk, you lose control and you do those things you wouldn't do normally. But unlike wine, you'll do positive things.
The spirit came on Elijah and he ran unlike an ordinary man. Same is Samson.
Ezekiel 47 describes the effect of the different level of the Holy Spirit, the highest compared to a river. The more the water, the less your resistance to it until it carries you to wherever it wants
You can read this article for a better understanding and you are advised to reason with the content. You may not take it as it is.
But I cannot remember where this happened in the new testament.
I must take offense with answer #2. One of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control. Therefore if the Spirit completely overtakes you it violates who He is and is at enmity with Himself. This is absolute proof that this "Holy laughter" and "being slain in the Spirit" cannot possibly be the work of the Holy Spirit. I have no doubt that "spirits" are involved but it is not God's. If the Holy Spirit takes control of you , you personally have lost all self-control. This is totally against the Nature of God. The Spirit of God will certainly empower you but never take your self-control. The scriptures used by answer #2 show this clearly. In every case they were led to do something, compelled to obey God, and were empowered to accomplish what they were called to do. It therefore must be either a "different" spirit that would take your self-control or the Bible is a lie. Being "controlled" by the Spirit is much different from obeying the Spirit. Obeying constitutes having a choice . You may well have a negative outcome from disobeying the Holy Spirit but you get to make that choice . Hope this helps. Amen
com•pel / kəmˈpel/ verb past tense: compelled; past participle: compelled 1. force or oblige (someone) to do something. "a sense of duty compelled Harry to answer her questions"
The answer to the question is YES!!! The Spirit can and does compell us regardless of what our Will is. When we accept Jesus we give up our rights, (designed to protect us from Men), and are completely in His charge. we WILL do His Will whether we want to or not.
See "Jonah"
Salvation from hell is by grace through faith in Christ alone ( Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23).
Once a person received Christ the Lord as his Savior ( John 1:12), he/she is now possessing free will either to disobey God ( consequence is chastisement not hell- Hebrews ) or to obey God ( consequence is temporal blessings not heaven- Hebrews , Matthew 6:33).
As we can notice, the consequence of a believer's action always leads to persevering in the faith just as the Scriptures says " the just shall live by faith" and " from faith to faith"( Romans, Hebrews).
Hebrews 13:2 Look on Jesus who is the source and the completer of our faith.
What this means is that salvation from hell is monergistic but sanctification on earth is synergistic ( Philippians 2:11-13).
Therefore, the Holy Spirit cannot completely control the Christian in the sense that he/she did not choose it. God acts upon our choice. [ Note that this is only for those saved by grace through faith apart from any works].
The Christian will be under the complete control of the Holy Spirit via exterminating his/her free will to disobey either at death , rapture or at the resurrection.[ As to why God still allows his children to sin is for their sake because he\she can prove himself\herself the victory over sin he\she have in Christ Jesus].

I was laid off shortly after having our daughter. I have never been so happy to be laid off from work because I found that I love being home with her. She is almost 5 months old. I did work for about three weeks when she was 6 weeks old and it was the worst 3 weeks ever. It sounds like I will be recalled to work in the next couple weeks. I am very nervous about leaving her. I would love any advise on easing myself back to work. What are the things I should be doing to prepare myself, my husband, and my daughter for this return to work?
I am sorry that you will have to work. It will be as hard on you as it is on the kid. It is also good that you are thinking about it now.

I'm home teaching myself calculus because I'm 16 and therefore too young to take an actual class with a teacher, so I apologise if this seems simple.
I understand the definition of the Product Rule and its formula:
"If a function $h(x)=f(x)\times g(x)$ is the product of two differentiable functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, then $h'(x) = f(x)\times g'(x)+f'(x)\times g(x)$".
I did a question to find the derivative of $g(x) = (2x+1)(x+4)$ using the Product Rule.
Now on the solutions sheet it says I must begin by writing:
$g'(x)=(2x+1){\bf (1)}+{\bf (2)}(x+4)$
What confuses me are the terms that I have put in bold. (the terms $(1)$ and $(2)$). I believe the term $(1)$ is $g'(x)$ from the formula and the term $(2)$ is $f'(x)$ from the formula.
How am I supposed to know these 2 terms? Am I supposed to find the derivative of $(2x+1)$ and $(x+4)$ before going on to the question?
I also apologise if this is quite messy.
