Methamphetamine Toxicity
- Author: John R Richards, MD, FAAEM; Chief Editor: Asim Tarabar, MD more...
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive psychostimulant drug that is chemically related to amphetamine. Methamphetamine can produce euphoria and stimulant effects like those from other stimulants such as cocaine. In addition, methamphetamine is easily synthesized from inexpensive and readily obtainable chemicals. Those qualities have led to the widespread and rampant abuse of this dangerous drug.
Methamphetamine use has increased rapidly throughout the world, with more than 30 million users worldwide.[1] Over the past decade, all regions of the United States experienced a significant increase in the number of persons using the drug, and a corresponding increase in the number of patients with medical complications seen in emergency departments (EDs). Fortunately, this trend seems to have reached a plateau in most areas.[1, 2]
Methamphetamine may be taken orally or intravenously, or be snorted or smoked. The smokable form of methamphetamine ("ice") produces an immediate euphoria similar to that of crack cocaine, but the effects may last much longer.[3, 4]
Inadvertent absorption of methamphetamine may occur in "body packers", who swallow packages of the drug for transportation purposes, or "body stuffers", who insert bags of methamphetamine rectally or vaginally in an attempt to elude drug enforcement. There are also users who indulge in "parachuting", in which the drug is loosely wrapped to delay absorption and prolong effect. These persons, and body stuffers, are at high risk for toxicity as the drug wrapping may be compromised and allow complete drug absorption.[5]
North American methamphetamine abusers are predominantly white males in their 30s and 40s.[6, 7] Recently, epidemic abuse has been described in adolescents; they cite availability, low cost, and a longer duration of action than cocaine as reasons for their drug preference.[8]
The medical history of amphetamine-like compounds extends back nearly 100 years.[3, 4] A Japanese pharmacologist first synthesized methamphetamine in 1919. A more detailed analysis of the pharmacology of amphetamine derived from the basic phenylethylamine structure was reported in 1930. In the 1930s, amphetamine was introduced in the form of inhalers for rhinitis and asthma treatment. The stimulant, euphoric, and anorectic effects of amphetamine were quickly recognized, leading to its abuse.
In 1937, a report that amphetamine enhanced intellectual performance and wakefulness further contributed to its popularity. Amphetamines were used extensively by Allied and Axis armed forces during World War II and during the recent Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts to increase wakefulness and attention.[3, 9]
In the late 1950s, initial federal controls were enacted; however, in spite of additional regulation and increased enforcement, amphetamines continued to be used by students, athletes, shift workers, long haul drivers, and for weight loss.[3, 4] The Controlled Substance Act of 1970 stringently regulated the manufacture of amphetamine.
Amphetamines stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), which results in several clinical effects such as inducing euphoria, intensifying emotions, altering self-esteem, and increasing alertness, aggression, and sexual appetite.[3, 10] In the CNS, amphetamines block presynaptic reuptake of catecholamines (ie, dopamine, norepinephrine), causing hyperstimulation at selected postsynaptic neuron receptors. Indirect sympathomimetic effects result from blockade of presynaptic vesicular storage and by reduction in cytoplasmic destruction of catecholamines by inhibition of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase.[11, 12]
Indirectly, these hyperstimulated neurons can stimulate various other noncatecholaminergic central and peripheral nervous pathways. Changes in mood, excitation, motor movements, sensory perception, and appetite appear to be mediated more directly by CNS dopaminergic alterations. It has been postulated that serotonin alterations also contribute to mood changes, psychotic behavior, and aggressiveness.[13]
In humans, the half-life of methamphetamine ranges from 10-20 hours, depending on the urine pH, history of recent use, and dosage.[11] Metabolism occurs faster in acidic urine. Methamphetamine has greater CNS effects compared with D-amphetamine of equal milligram quantity. The majority of methamphetamine is metabolized to amphetamine, which provides further CNS stimulation.
Methamphetamine is absorbed readily from the gut, airway, nasopharynx, muscle, placenta, and vagina.[14, 15] Peak plasma levels are observed approximately 30 minutes after intravenous or intramuscular routes and 2-3 hours after ingestion.[12] Rapid tissue redistribution occurs with steady-state cerebrospinal fluid levels at 80% of plasma levels. Hepatic conjugation pathways with glucuronide and glycine addition result in inactivation and urinary excretion of metabolites.
When methamphetamine is used with ethanol, increased psychological and cardiac effects are observed.[16] This is presumed to be the result of pharmacodynamic rather than pharmacokinetic interactions. Similarly, the increased toxicity of concomitant opioids and amphetamines ("speedballing"), appear to result from pharmacodynamic interactions.
The euphoric effects produced by methamphetamine, cocaine, and various designer amphetamines are similar and may be difficult to clinically differentiate.[4] A distinguishing clinical feature is the longer pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic half-life of methamphetamine, which may be as much as 10 times longer than that of cocaine. Because of the variability in quality and concentration of illicitly purchased methamphetamines, the clinical observation of toxic effects is more relevant than estimated total ingested dose.[17]
United States
Methamphetamine use is widespread in the United States but varies regionally, with higher use in Hawaii, the West, and parts of the Midwest.[18] The Drug Abuse Warning Network estimates that methamphetamine was involved in 102,961 emergency department visits in 2011.[2]
According to the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 1.2 million people (0.4% of the US population) reported using methamphetamine in the past year, and 440,000 (0.2%) reported using it in the past month; this represents a decrease from previous years. The NSDUH found that in 2013 the lifetime prevalence of methamphetamine use was 0.5% in those 12 to 17 years of age, 3.0% in those 1 to 25 years old, and 5.5% in those 26 years and older; those percentages had not changed significantly since 2011.[19]
Methamphetamine use is widespread, predominantly in North America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that worldwide in 2013 there were 33.9 million users of amphetamine-type stimulants, which includes methamphetamine.[1]
Acute methamphetamine overdose may result in sympathetic overdrive, cardiovascular collapse, rhabdomyolysis, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, and death. Injuries from blunt and penetrating trauma are common.[3, 10, 20]
Long-term methamphetamine use may result in the following[21] :
Soft-tissue infection
Periodontal disease
Changes in cognitive function
Personality disorders
Race-, Sex-, and Age-related Demographics
Demographic variations include the following[6, 7] :
In North America, methamphetamine use is predominantly by Caucasians
Males are more likely to abuse methamphetamine than females
Peak methamphetamine use is observed in the 20- to 40-year-old range

Does iPad plays m4v format coz through handbrake m4v format is produced....
And m not able to add such file into iTunes movie library plz help
Yes, iPad can play iTunes M4V movies, you'd better look at this:Tune4mac iTunes Video Converter Platinum, it's able to help you convert iTunes M4V...
I think, this is the wrong thread to ask that ;)
I use HandBreake to convert them to m4v. iOS only Supports m4v.
I think the file extension should be .m4v.

It has to be in a .m4v format. Use Handbrake to convert it.
You can only get DVD's/M4v movies into the Video directory by using iTunes
LOL, iOS must be based on DOS...
.mp4, .mov, and .m4v work fine as long as they are sized to play on the iPad.
Well i don 't see a screenshot but make sure the videoclips are iPad compatible .mov or .m4v files.
I believe you'll have to convert.avi. Also found my movie files and they are m4v. Not sure about x.264.
...its the ONLY format. Apple doesn't support anything else really, except for m4v which is basically only disctributed by Apple, never seen one...
As long as its an mp4 yea. Just rename the extension to m4v to make it apple friendly. I think the goflex will play mp4s straight up.
Hmmm mp4 is compatible with the iPad. Just for giggles, change the extension on one of the movies to .m4v and see if that will import.
Can't seem to play videos on it though. I've uploaded them to my dropbox And they're in .m4v format so they should play. Any ideas anyone?
You can use anything formatted for Itunes which means m4v, and you can also stream movies from itunes from your computer on your local network.

If you are talking about kids, just convert them to m4v or mp4 and be done with it. You can get video catalyst for like $10. Job done.
Filebrowser can stream movies but they need to be in m4v format (it might also work in mp4). It won't stream avi or mkv.
I bought AVPlayerHD and it has one fatal flaw... it can't display muxed (embedded) vobsubs in m4v files.
Killer for an anime fan.
If I remember correctly one file type shows up under Movies, the other under TV Shows.
Hi,franky, if you want to convert m4v for ipad 2, you can try AVS4Mac M4V Converter.
I don't think you should have any problem with that. iOS5.1 does support 1080p, and .mov and .m4v are the native formats.
They are in the same folders as your mp3s...just do a search in the folder for .m4v or .mp4...or whatever extension your videos are.
You can try right click and select to open with iTunes.
Make sure it saved it in .m4v format
Sent from my iPad using iPF
Strange... For days iTunes would not load the m4v file. Just tried it again and it is loaded on iTunes. I can now recommend handbrake and vlc player!

My feeling is that your paper was totally irresponsible in praising a tanning business not once, but twice in the last several years ("Man behind the tan," March 13 and 14).
It is a well-known fact that sunlight, whether natural or artificial, causes the most common cancer in humans: skin cancer. The more ultraviolet light you receive, the more likely you are to develop skin cancer.
Scientific studies have shown a direct link between tanning and melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, especially in younger women, the most frequent patrons of tanning parlors.
You should be ashamed for promoting a business that causes cancer.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Booker Prizewinning novelist Unsworth (Sacred Hunger, etc.) travels with his wife to the ancient island of Crete, where, according to the Greeks, "everything began." The island's history is gruesome due to centuries of occupation by Venetian, German and Turkish conquerors, so Crete can "sometimes seem a patchwork of stories, from primal myth to heroic legend, to the embroideries of local gossip." Just as the "Cretans love stories," so does Unsworth, and on visiting the wonders of the island-the "holy cavern of Psychro" (the supposed birthplace of Zeus), the gorges of Samaria and Therisso, the Lasithi Plateau-he infuses his narrative with historical facts, mythic lore and a deep appreciation for nature. His keen understanding of history and legend also illuminates his visits to the island's churches and monasteries, and particularly the ruined palace at Knossos, where the hero Theseus was said to have defeated the "monstrous Minotaur." A reverence for Crete's flora and fauna pervades Unsworth's exacting prose ("the scrub glows with a soft burnish, flame-colored, forming a landscape almost too beautiful to be quite believed in"), and he often couples these descriptions with sadness over Crete's invasive, oppressive tourism industry. The people of Crete, Unsworth notes more than once, are "of great spirit and generous hospitality [but also possess an] implacable vindictiveness," often still upholding "blood feuds" that originated centuries ago. Despite Unsworth's bouts of melancholy and occasional frustrations, the author's thoughtful journey eventually finds peace and comfort in "the vitality and warmth of the people and the unfailing charm of the landscape."

From Booklist
Novelist Unsworth's report of his and his wife Aira's recent sojourn on Crete is nothing if not counsel to slow down and smell the flowers and, more to the point on this island, see the light, which, brilliant and caressing, highlights every detail yet gathers one into the totality of the place. Ironically, the brevity mandated by the National Geographic Directions series imparts a rushed quality to the book. He and Aira seem always to be frantically driving until they really must walk, either because the way becomes vehicularly impassable or too lovely not to saunter along. They visit great vistas and imposing natural features (on Crete, mainly its dramatic gorges, the last refuges for some unique island species); caves in which gods were born, saints later resided, and religious and patriotic martyrs suffered; and the remains of the first great European civilization, that of the vanished people archaeologist Arthur Evans, their discoverer, dubbed Minoans. About all of this Unsworth is informative though pensive, for he sees everywhere the depredations of tourism. Ray Olson

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The bottom line is that this is not an exhaustive treatment of the history, geography or culture of Crete, nor is it a picture book; it is a throwback to a time when travel was not the commodity of the everyday man, a time when we lived vicariously through the likes of Hemmingway and Stevenson. If all you want is to see beautiful scenery, there are any number of picture books or web sites to entertain you, but if you want to experience Crete without the trip, you will want to read this book.
Unsworth's glimpse at Crete is by no means comprehensive, but fills in the gaps that he proposes- What kind of place Crete is, some interesting things to see there, and an outline of his tour with his wife Aira. His style is unashamedly first-person reflective, and he gives a fair and balanced account of the island which becomes saturated by tourists each summer. Barry has whet my appetite for visiting this island without overwhelming me with his own ideas and opinions. Do not look for a detailed history; instead look for an impressionistic accounting of the caves, gorges, churches and urban labyrinths of Crete. Fans of Unsworth and thoughtful travellers will enjoy this novella immensely.
I'm still returning to it and will use it on my next trip!

Works For Me,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic TY-WL20U Wireless Adapter for Panasonic 2012 Internet Ready TVs (Electronics)
I got this along with my TC-L47E50 and I've had a pretty good experience with it so far.
Out of the box, I tried plugging the adapter directly into the TV without the dongle. The TV is about 20 feet from my wireless router, but I only got 2 strength bars with this setup. This caused Netflix movies to stream at a low bitrate. However, I noticed that it reported 4-5 bars from a neighbor's router (I'm in an apartment with shared walls) that was behind my TV, so it seems like the TV screen acts as a shield for the signal. I suppose that it's not just a matter of distance - it also has to do with where your router is relative to the TV.
Afterwards, I tried using it with the included dongle and all the reception issues went away. Then I was able to route the dongle to one of the cabinets underneath the TV so it doesn't look ugly with my setup.
The dongle base has a nice weight to it and the adapter itself feels like a quality product. Still, it's a little bit pricy and I wish I didn't have to buy it in the first place. 4 stars.

SGX Faces a Resignation and a Restructuring
Singapore Exchange will reshuffle its business operations in a month, and also moves on without its co-president.
Starting May 1, Singapore Exchange (SGX) will commence a restructuring that will divide it into five business units: Derivatives, Listings, Market Data & Access, Post-Trade and Securities. It is also seeing its co-president step down after 11 years with the exchange.
The business units, with the support of the sales & clients unit, will collectively drive the expansion of the products and services suite, the attraction of more and larger listings, the growth of retail and professional participation, and the building of the post-trade business.
The current fixed income business will become a part of the enlarged securities unit while the commodities business will be grouped within the enlarged derivatives unit. The current operations and technology units will be aligned under a newly-created chief operations and technology officer role.
CEO Magnus Bocker will assume direct responsibility for listings and sales & clients. President Muthukrishnan Ramaswami will lead derivatives, market data & access, post-trade and securities.
Co-president Gan Seow Ann is resigning but will stay on as advisor. He will lead, in his new role, the creation and establishment of advisory boards, particularly for the listings, fixed income and commodities businesses.

JACKSONVILLE, F la. -- The trial of the man charged with the attempted murder of Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier will likely be delayed.
Defense attorney Ann Finnell told the judge she will file for a continuance of the trial of Tyrone Hartsfield at another hearing on Friday.
The trial had been scheduled to start on March 30.
Finnell told the judge that prosecutors have not turned over the address of a key witness, Kenny Pettway. Pettway was in the car when Collier was shot 14 times. Pettway played on the defensive line for the Green Bay Packers before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
Hartsfield is being held without bond.

After Here
nice smooth & relaxing very well laid out good sound
Ethereal sounds, and synths reminiscent in places of Jean Michel Jarre. The music has a touch of loneliness to it... Is this your most recent composition? It would be sad if it were your last upload to mp3u...
Dan... Your my last listen for the day. I want to thank you for your heartfelt comment and your support and friendship all these years. I was hoping to find a new track from you :( but sadly I did not. I hope that you are still creating music. If I missed it please point me in the right direction. I still love this one.. It has such a calming effect on my psyche. Still waiting for that acoustic song you've been hinting about for the last few years. No time like the present to offer it up. Best to you my friend. Eric
I haven't visited this site for a while; life has got in the way, but I'm so glad to see (hear) that you're still around Dan. There's something about your compositions that just hit the mark with me every time. You make the clocks stop for a few brief moments of bliss and reflection.
Beautiful relaxing ethereal feel to this one Dan. Something for unwinding for sure. Would be good to think there is somewhere after here as long as it´s a better world... 130 d/l´s now thanks...L&B
Hi Dan. There is no question or doubt about it. Nobody composes a fine relaxation track quite like you do. I can feel a touch of Enya and Clannad in this. If you released an album of your best soothing tracks on iTunes I'd definitely buy it! Hope all is good with you and your current projects. PJ
This song is so good it made me hallucinate a little Good ... man
A "bring the good emotions to the surface" listen. Quite lovely, Dan!
your music still takes me away on a musical mind journey.. glad your still around making music..
Back for another listen. A great warmth in this piece
A really great mix of textures here and a fine balance of ambiance and melody, super job.
PS: Rated!
ooo so sexy dan!
Dan, just how do you convey so much emotion and prompt so much contemplation with what appears to be just one patch? I listened to this while flying over the Alps on the way down to Venice last week. I often reach for your playlist when I go walkabout or when we're travelling as it's so calming. The scenery and the music made for a sublime experience. Wherever you go 'after here' Dan, you can rest assured that you enriched a lot of peoples' lives before you left. But I sure hope it's not for a long time yet, because right now the world is badly in need of your music.
Thanks for the comment on "Heart Stops Beating" Dan. This is your master track at present so will give this a listen. After Here? Just an eternity of darkness methinks - oh how morbid :-) Like the shanty type theme that appears a couple of minutes in.This is just great through headphones. The detail of the sounds so clear. Nice production. John & Paul
Hi Dan. I was feeling kind of down (I always do when I'm done working on a song) and I let your page play all night. Like spending time with an old friend. All be dam if I didn't feel like a new person this morning ?? I thank you for that my friend. Eric
i like this one although know matter what flowing south is my favorite would love to put lyrics to it
This is a very sensitive composition, Dan. It is all at once soothing and thought provoking.
Film score stuff Dan :) Could deffo hear this in a scifi movie :) Dark and moody with just the right amount of chill. Very nice, Peace,Ricky
Very tranquil first section and then comes that deep thrumming and then back to serene. Very chilled piece.
After here? Looks like .... Here again lol. Sure hope you post more soon. Man this just takes me away.. That's why I come back... I need that..
Take care my friend.
Nice ambience & textures creating that peaceful ethereal feeling. Well done.
HI Dan,
Thank you for your recent comments on Sweet A. It is I sir who could learn form you my friend. This is right up my street!it really is a "Go to meditate " sort of combination. Rich ethereal sounds which blend together in a tapestry of sound which melt the mind.Bravo!
Take Care
Andy :)
Excellent work Dan, this is like crystal poured into sound, SO tranquil and restful, all these sounds are wonderful!
......probably somewhere else? :-) in reply to the big question. A wonderfully , genteel and tranquil piece Dan , no matter what we wonder...have fun now! :-) keith
Love this meditative music Dan, I floated away with the first listen, trying to stay in this world while I type to the second. Easy vote, Gibbo
So happy to hear a new one. I was just watching Blade Runner the other night for the umpthteen time and this has a bit of that vibe but more a mysterious and ethereal element. You conjure up such uplifting emotions here. It's beautiful like all your work and make me ponder in a gentle way.
Hi Dan. Great to hear a new one from you my friend. This has a very positive feel to it. It feels like the music is pulling me in... I like it and will go wherever it takes me... That's what I love about your music... A magic car[tet ride but instead of a carpet it's on the power of your music... Very much enjoyed. Keep em coming Dan!
Ah, now you got me wonderin' about it again, dang it! I manage to forget all that for a bit and just stay in the now, and ya gotta throw somethin' like this our way, ha ha! Wherever we go, I hope we got ears to hear the likes of you, buddy.
liked the way you piqued interest with that thread about a soul for sale (I was meaning to add to it and still will perhaps :) Ambient dreamscape for musing upon these things, which I seem to be doing more and more from a chair by the window...carry the weighty thoughts along gentleness (liked the rhythm in the keys (mid 2m with some melody emerging in there)...there is a sense of dignity and respect in this brooding piece....does that fit anywhere other than in my own sense?...welcoming 2015 with a sense of anticipation ...and offering a welcomed respite in here, Dan. Happy New Year!
Pretty sounds Dan and nice dynamics. Not getting an "after here" feel - it just sounds to me like a tune that defies any movement of time. It could apply to the movement of waves on the sea or clouds in the sky but I don't suppose you mind anyone stealing an interpretation. Thumzup.
The Hereafter perhaps? Or just a VOID of darkness. Depends what you believe. Atmospheric music - like the sea shanty type melody that come in around 2 mins or so. Nice and chilled - perfect for a sunday morning.

Gregg Popovich, after politely greeting Dwyane Wade, typically swarms him with multiple defenders.
Draw the fouls
Part of what makes LeBron James and Dwyane Wade so effective on the court is their ability to draw contact and get to the free throw line. Part of what makes Tim Duncan and the Spurs so effective on the court is their ability to stay out of foul trouble and keep opponents off the charity stripe. Something will have to give on Friday night. The Spurs rank second-lowest in the NBA in opponent free throw rate (the proportion of opponent free throw attempts to field goal attempts). It's a critical ingredient of their stiff defense this season, and that department won't be hampered much by Tony Parker's absence. Duncan is at the center of it all, averaging a career-low 2.0 whistles per 36 minutes while posting one of his highest block rates in his Hall of Fame career. As a superb help defender, Duncan will need to rescue his teammates more often than normal Friday night, as Wade and James make it a priority to wreak havoc off the dribble. Keep a close eye on Duncan's mobility in the paint. If the 34-year-old is slow to help, the Heat will almost certainly look to exploit it and get some extra freebies at the line.
Stopping Manu
Here's the Heat's first defensive imperative: Don't let Manu Ginobili beat you. The Argentine may not be a point guard, but his playmaking abilities rival any perimeter player in the league. The Spurs will rely on him to break down the Heat's typically airtight defense and open up the floor for the Spurs' sharpshooters to do their work. Pay particular attention to how the Heat defend the Ginobili pick-and-roll. On a normal night, defending teams like to have their big men show hard on the pick-and-roll to wall off Ginobili's penetration. That strategy opens up the screener to dive to the rim early and call for the ball from Ginobili. But LeBron James, with the length of a big man, can deter those passes and make it hard for Ginobili to dish it out to Duncan, Antonio McDyess and Matt Bonner for a jumper or hit DeJuan Blair on his way to the rim. The Spurs' pick-and-roll game with Ginobili -- and how the Heat defend it -- could be the deciding factor in the contest. If Ginobili flourishes, the Heat may not be able to recover.
Get out of their heads
Over the past week or so, the Heat have blown sizable leads to Chicago, New York and Orlando -- the last of which was far and away the most devastating. The Heat played a nearly perfect first half. Their scorers were in an incredible rhythm and their defenders were lightning quick to the ball. Leading the Magic by 24 points with nine minutes to go in the third quarter, the Heat were outscored 50-23 the rest of the way. For the Heat, this propensity for blowing big leads has become an elephantine problem. Ask someone not to think about elephants and they'll think about elephants. Ask the Heat not to cough up a big lead -- a trend that started in November, when they allowed Utah to storm back from a 22-point deficit to win -- and what should be an easy victory becomes an elusive, painstaking burden of closing out games. Assuming the Heat are able to establish a substantial lead of any size against the Spurs in San Antonio, it's imperative that Miami methodically puts the game away. Beating good teams when it matters is hard enough as it is. Having an elephant on the court makes it even harder.
James, Wade vs. Spurs defense
Gregg Popovich, as much as any coach in the league, subscribes to a stay-at-home defense. Help can be dispatched as needed, but Pop likes to rely on strong base defenders who can handle their business and don't compromise the Spurs' balance on the floor. That said, he will deploy strategic strikes against the league's more potent scorers -- guys like James and Wade who can break down defenders one-on-one. In past seasons, Popovich has blitzed Wade and James with multiple defenders. This season, that's a more difficult proposition because the two superstars share the floor. To compound matters, Popovich no longer has a Bruce Bowen -- a defender he can trust to handle an assignment like James and Wade singlehandedly out on the perimeter. As mentioned above, it's essential that James and Wade keep the pace up -- not just in transition, but also in the half court. The Heat are quicker than the Spurs, but if they insist on pounding the ball into the hardwood and trying to take individual defenders off the dribble, they'll get beat. But quick cuts, sharp slips and decisive actions will allow the Heat to use their speed against a slower (but extremely smart) Spurs defense.
Dealing with Duncan
Since Duncan became the cornerstone in San Antonio, the Spurs have had one of the most difficult plays to defend in basketball. It's a set that has carried them to championships. Duncan gets an off ball screen from the left corner from one of his wings, which produces a mismatch. With Duncan now being covered by a small guy, the rest of the Spurs fan out along the perimeter as the point guard delivers Duncan an entry pass into the post and allows him to go to work. As he's grown older, Duncan isn't nearly the focal point of the offense as he used to be -- and hasn't played more than 35 minutes in a game since New Year's -- but his presence can still beat a good defense on a given night. The Spurs don't have an offensive system so much as they have a series of pragmatic actions designed to cross up a defense. Working a mismatch for Duncan on the block is still a big part of that blueprint. The Heat's tight help defense typically makes smart decisions, and they rotate from the baseline as fluidly as any team in the league. At least 15 times Friday night, Duncan will get the ball where he wants it down on the left block, often against a smaller defender. How will the Heat respond, especially if helping means leaving Matt Bonner, Manu Ginobili or Richard Jefferson open from long range?

According to reports, the Falcons are willing to cough up an extra $100 million to pay for the estimated $1 billion project. Gov. Nathan Deal has made clear that state lawmakers won't vote on raising the borrowing limit of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. The state authority would have issued bonds to help fund the stadium but might now only provide land.
That means the city - or more likely, one of its associated entities - will likely issue bonds to provide the public financing.
Which leaves open the question: What will that look like?
Perhaps it'll include the Westside Tax Allocation District, a lucrative financial tool operated by Invest Atlanta, the city's economic development arm, and which is aimed at revitalizing a large swath of land that includes Vine City, English Avenue, and downtown?
"Absolutely not," Reed told CL after yesterday's 25th annual Buckhead Coalition luncheon. "Not one dime - I hope you'll write it in bold - not one penny of the Westside TAD's $53 million is going to be used for the stadium." (See what we did there?)
What about the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority, which oversees Turner Field, Philips Arena, the Olympic Cauldron, and John White Park?
"I don't want to guess at all until we spend time with Council," he said. "What I've been working real hard to do is to not get in front of Council, because this is a genuine decision we need to make together. We need to make an up or down decision in partnership about whether this is something we're going to do."
The mayor did say that he expects the deal to be similar to the agreement that created Philips Arena. The $213 million facility was financed with revenue bonds, a car-rental tax, and a cash contribution from Time Warner. Philips also signed a 20-year deal reportedly worth as much as $180 million for the naming rights.
Whatever's ironed out, he said that "any debt offering would not impact the city's credit worthiness" because the hotel-motel tax is a reliable and consistent source of funding.
The mayor said he understands that "folks are concerned" about using the hotel-motel tax, which by law can only be used to fund a new stadium on GWCCA property, to build the facility. And that to many Georgians, the Dome seems perfectly suitable for hosting sporting events, concerts, monster truck rallies, and whatever other affair you can stuff into the covered arena, for decades to come.
But Reed said that if the new stadium deal doesn't go through, the Dome will still need as much as $350 million in additional needed repairs.
