The New York Times sells its integrity to ExxonMobil with front-page ad that falsely asserts "Today's car has 95% fewer emissions than a car from 1970"
Please email the NYT at email@example.com about this egregious ad and/or email its public editor at email@example.com to explain you are "concerned about the paper's journalistic integrity." Click image for full pic of the NYT's June 16, 2009 front page.
These are hard times for the newspaper business. The paper of record has taken to running ads on the front page. But if they're going to give up that precious real estate, home to many Pulitzer-Prize-winning stories, they simply can't do it for this kind of disinformation, which is utterly misleading to the public.
Fuel for thought
Today's car has 95% fewer emissions than a car from 1970.
Needless to say — or, rather, in this case, needful to say — while today's car has lower emissions of urban air pollutants thanks to government regulation, today's car has, if anything, higher emissions of greenhouse gases, which threaten the health and well-being of the next 50 generations. And needful to say, ExxonMobil has done more than just about any other company to undermine efforts to achieve the greenhouse gas regulations that could lower those emissions.
ExxonSecrets details the millions of dollars that the company has shoveled to fund the disinformation campaigns of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation, all of which continue to advance unfactual anti-scientific attacks as I have detailed recently (see posts on Heritage and CEI and AEI). Chris Mooney wrote an excellent piece on ExxonMobil's two-decade anti-scientific campaign. A 2007 Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) report looked at ExxonMobil's tobacco industry-like tactics in pushing global warming denial (see "Today We Have a Planet That's Smoking!").
So it is especially egregious that the New York Times would take money to publish this disinformation on their front page. Had this been a news article, I do think that the NYT would never have published it, although they have certainly been running a lot of questionable stuff — see NYT suckered by ExxonMobil in puff piece titled "Green is for Sissies."
And in the irony department, if you go to ExxonMobil.com, as the ad urges, you'll see … wait for it … a picture of a huge hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast, with the headline "Learn how ExxonMobil prepares and response to hurricanes." How about "Learn how ExxonMobil works hard to make sure future hurricanes will be far more destructive" (see "Nature: Hurricanes ARE getting fiercer "" and it's going to get much worse" and "Why future Katrinas and Gustavs will be MUCH worse at landfall, Part 2")?
You can't make this stuff up. Well, ExxonMobil can, and the New York Times will let them publish it — but you can't make stuff up and publish it on the front-page of the New York Times because you don't have the tens of thousands of dollars needed and frankly the NYT would probably subject your ad to more scrutiny.
Strangely, I have seen very little on the blogosphere on this travesty, even though it happened two days ago. I only found out about it because a reader sent me an email.
UPDATE: It is true that a given model of today's car has better mpg than a comparable model from 1970, but, then again, it is driven much of farther — and, of course, the average passenger vehicle today is much larger. More relevantly, the improvement in mpg hasn't come about because of anything ExxonMobil did to fuel formulation, whereas the refineries certainly do deserve some credit for achieving the regulated requirements for reduction in tailpipe air pollutants.
Please email the NYT at firstname.lastname@example.com about this egregious piece and/or email its public editor at firstname.lastname@example.com to explain you are "concerned about the paper's journalistic integrity."

Clever! Very clever. Hope the public doesn't know the difference between emissions of unburned hydrocarbon particulates, oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulfur. It still doesn't contradict the fact that one gallon of gasoline burned emits 19 lbs of CO2.
It's not surprising the Times turned into nothing more than a roadside billboard to abuse science and destroy what is left of their tattered integrity. After all this is the same paper of record that produced the Jason Blair debacle and the promoted the idea of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction promoted by their 'journalist' Judith Miller now disgraced but wholly unapologetic.
ExxonMobil is desperately trying to secure a place in the future by defining themselves as part of the solution. They hope to revise history – they have always promoted heavy carbon fuel usage – even when they knew that CO2 causes warming.
Adaptation can include heavy carbon usage,
Mitigation requires curtailing carbon usage.
Proper policy based on science would be to rapidly phase out carbon fuels completely.
Also dont forget that the average car now weighs a lot more than the 70's car, and has a lot more parts, plastic, etc in it, all of which had to be manufactured.
We've got a big Exxon Mobil refinery right here in the City of Torrance where I have lived and worked for over 16 years. Their greenwashing knows no bounds. You can read about the refinery's "Freddy the Flare," complete with comic book art aimed at children on their website. They talk a lot about how much they've reduced their emissions in all their propaganda but they never tell the citizens just how much greenhouse gas and other pollution they are responsible for. And of course they never mention their money pumping role in financing the deniers cult.
Exxon/Mobil's got the local Torrance city government here in their pockets while they've turned 750 prime acres of real estate into a future Superfund site. Our city signed onto the Cool Cities agreement but never mentions the ginormous carbon footprint of the refinery. AB 32 is the law of the land here in California but the city sees no connection between the Global Warming Solutions Act and having a fossil fuel refinery in town.
That's why last month I ordered Exxon/Mobil out of town by 2020 and have proposed a large scale solar electric power generation project for those 750 acres – after Exxon/Mobil pays to clean up their mess.
Here in Torrance California we no longer expect the New York Times, the L.A. Times or our local Daily Breeze to do the job of informing and enlightening us any longer – we're doing the job ourselves. That's why we read Climate Progress.
And we're not going to wait for our local leaders to finally board the cluetrain that already left the station without them either. We understand the stakes and we know how little time we have left. We're already doing the work and they can join us – or they can get out of our way.
But it is true that today's cars cause 95 percent less smog than the 1970 version. In terms of GHG, my guess would be that it is only 50% reduction–remember, car MPG is much higher now than in the mid-1970s. You are correct that it is due to government regulations, but Exxon is not lying, but they may be misleading because today's debate is mostly about GHG and not other pollutants.
i dont know if you anyone here goes to fora.tv but exxonmobil ads are all over that website 'greenwashing' the shit out of their oil blackened history.
Rana, MPG is much higher today for most passenger sedans. Unfortunately, today a lot of "cars" are actually heavy SUVs and minivans that get not much better gas mileage than the average larger, heavier passenger sedan got in the 1970s.
Yet again, we have a company playing the "pollution" vs. "climate chaos" trick.
For rampant examples of this, see the endless discussions of CNG vehicles, which are pushed as being "much cleaner" than gasoline vehicles, when they reduce GHG emissions by only about 25%. Yes, they do emit much less of other pollutants, which is a very good thing if you take a sufficiently narrow view of our situation.
Hello Joseph and others,
This is an important issue, and your piece is very well-written. Great job.
That said, just one matter of clarification depending on how readers interpret your use of the phrase "today's car", as in singular or plural: Because of average improvements in MPG, which have come about largely because of regulation, and although I don't have the numbers in front of me, the average GHG emissions PER CAR, PER MILE, may well have decreased by the corresponding MODEST amount. Any such reduction would be a result of the modest improvement in MPG (still way behind those in many other countries), not of any magical change in the hydrocarbon composition of gasoline itself.
But, when you consider the number of miles driven, and the total number of cars on the road, the total GHG emissions of "today's car" in a total sense of "total gasoline-powered cars in the U.S." must certainly be considerably higher than in 1970. I'm sure that plenty of people (including the folks at ExxonMobil!) must have that "total" statistic. The trend, of course, has been UP, not down.
And, of course, as you've said, the 95% must actually refer to some other, non-CO2 emissions, those conventional sources of urban pollution that were around before we (or at least the public) knew of global warming.
So, as you've pointed out, the ad is incredibly, and irresponsibly, misleading. For people who don't know one emission from the next, or who mainly have global warming on their minds, the difference between "95% reduction" and "total GHG emissions going up" — a difference that ExxonMobil doesn't seem to want to make clear — is a huge one.
So now we will see: Will The NY Times use front-page space, and the best of its abilities to state matters clearly, to give the public "the straight scoop" on the matter? Will it correct the record, and (ideally also) correct this huge advertiser, in order to demonstrate responsible journalism and a genuine care for the public good?
(Isn't it nice to have a "test" that will express its result, for all to see, on the front page of The NY Times, one way or the other. We'll all know how The Times responds to this one, won't we?)
Be Well,
That is sickening. I'd always assumed the NYT was the beacon of US journalism – truth, integrity, science and all that stuff. Someone there needs to ask if the paper stands for something, or are they just a megaphone for viewpoint – especially the 'viewpoint' of those with deep pockets.
'Disgusted of Britain' email on the way.
P.S. Monbiot recently talked about this very issue: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2009/jun/05/climate-change-corporatesocialresponsibility
Its ironic the oil and auto companies wanted no part of the 95% reduction of classic pollutants: hydrocarbons, NOx, ozone, CO… Why invest in fuel injection, catalytic converters, computers, lead free and oxygenated fuels…? Won't bring any profit THIS quarter! Have no shame.
The ad could have been stronger. They could have advertised a 100% reduction if they only talked about lead. They have stopped putting lead into the gas. =|
The newspapers remind me of the Republican Party right now; they both feel their problems lie in not going "far enough." The Republicans seem to think the problem is that they're not being "conservative enough," or "hard lined" enough to be successful, and the solution is to become more extreme. In reality, they need to move toward the center. Similarly the newspapers seem to think their problems lie in "not advertising aggressively enough," "not being entertaining enough," and "not offering extreme enough opinions," all while pretending to be informative and balanced. This is when, in fact, the problems are often the complete opposite.
The newspapers need better quality advertisers who match their now, more limited, market scope and saturation, not bigger ones who will pay for a front page piece that undermines their credibility. Similarly, they don't need to be more polarized in opinion or more entertaining, they need better research staff and fact checking and a better spectrum of opinion based on those facts, not just two extremes. People don't go to newspapers for propaganda, entertainment or polarized opinion, but that's what they're offering. There are plenty of free blogs out there that provide this stuff. The newspapers need to stop being afraid of turning away opinion and ads that represent the fringe, whether it be oil companies claiming 95% reductions in emissions or if a theoretical animal rights group paid for an ad claiming that eating meat causes cancer. I don't care if it's true under a special set of circumstances or even that reducing NOx and saving animals are noble causes. These are misleading statements, so stick to the facts. Included in this is getting rid of the statement, "Global warming, which some believe is caused by human activity…" Does every statement with 9/11 say, "…which some believe is a government conspiracy…?" No. Maybe it's true, but I don't care, let's stick to balanced centered ideas, let the opinion pieces offer ideas within the 40% on either side, and ignore the 10% fringe, even if it's being paid for. This ad is just another indication that they just don't get it.
Rex Tillerson's legacy lives on. Exxon Mobil and all the Scaife funded think tanks, publishers, GOPAC, etc, have more or less earned a unique place in history.

I agree with Brendan (6:02 pm post) when it comes to what the newspapers ought to be doing. Rather than going farther and farther into the mud-bath of sensationalisms, boxing matches, opinions lacking any credibility whatsoever, and so forth, the serious newspapers ought to be doing a great job at what they are SUPPOSED to do, and then they just might find that doing so will strengthen their position with people who want serious and informative information. By featuring boxing matches, bowing to advertisers, avoiding difficult issues, and (too often) not knowing what they are writing about, the newspapers are heading down a dead-end street, no matter how creative they think they can get with the technical gizmos. I do hope that Brendan makes his views known to The New York Times. I think he's onto the right track.
And then there's Tierney's latest. "U.S. Climate Report Assailed" – which Google News had picked up and was displaying as a "Top Story", I believe (alas, I didn't get a screenshot, and it's gone now)
Also alas, it seems Qs about funding are verboten in Tierney's comments; this one didn't survive moderation:

In the unlikely event that anyone cares, it turns out I still had a window open on the Google News mishap – so I made a screenshot, and put it on Flickr at
As many of you know, Andrew Revkin recently posted a hand wringing post about why the climate scientists' warnings are not resonating with the U.S. public, and whether issue "framing" or "human nature" best explains the phenomenon.
Well, the "Newspaper of record" has a lot to answer for, especially of late. First, they give a huge platform for the crackpot views of the most prominent scientist to oppose the AGW consensus, but fail to ask the most basic questions about his co-operation with PR disinformation, or pin him down on his dubious grasp of climate science.
Now this.
Andrew Revkin, there's only one way to make this right. Stop ignoring the elephant in the room. Start reporting on (and come out unequivocally against) the war on science being waged by ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies.
In other words, do your damn job.
And, yes, the New York Times should issue a full retraction of the misleading advertisement – on its front page.
> Well, the "Newspaper of record" has a lot to answer for, especially of late
OK. In the ideal world, we would complain to the Public Editor, Clark Hoyt, who would weigh in on it and (in the ideal world) shame newspaper mgmt into fixing the problem.
But we seem not to live in the ideal world.
All the same, Mr. Hoyt is supposed to answer to us. So what if, instead of sending him a complaint, we send him a question or questions, crafted to shed light on what-on-earth is going on at the Times?
Simple, nonjudgmental questions, that nonetheless shed maximal light.
What questions should we ask?
We should do it en masse; I've asked some and gotten no answer, but it's harder to ignore a group asking.
One thing I'd like to know: who does Bill Keller's job, in Keller's absence?
(when the cat's away, the…)
Technically, I guess they're not wrong — or not as wrong — as Joe says, but talk about misleading! I'd like to know how they measure the emissions to come up with 95 per cent. Is that 95 per cent fewer types of emissions, or emissions by volume, etc… It's really a meaningless statement.
Former GM vice-chair Bob Lutz said during a dinner I attended that you couldn't committed suicide these days by sitting in a car in a closed garage with the engine on, an example of how clean cars are these days. I wonder if he'd be willing to test out that claim on himself?
Some interesting stats that I mined from a 2007 report released by the US EPA (Heavenrich, R. (2007). "Light-Duty Automotive Technology and Fuel Economy Trends: 1975 through 2007." Report Number 420-R-07-008):
The following changes occurred in the average fleet characteristics in
the years 1975 to 2007:
• Weight increased by 16% for trucks and decreased by 12% for cars
• Engine power increased by 74% for trucks and by 48% for cars
• Acceleration times from 0 to 96 km/hr (0-60 mph) decreased by 29% for trucks and by 33% for cars
• Top speed increased by 23% for trucks and by 24% for cars
• Fuel consumption decreased by 35% for trucks and by 42% for cars
Overall, it is apparent that the technology improved in both performance and in fuel efficiency. This broad view overlooks, however, the trends from 1975 to 1987 and from 1987 to 2007. While the weight of cars did, in fact, decrease from 1975 to 2007, during the shorter period between 1987 and 2007, the weight actually increased by 18%. Likewise, while the fuel consumption of both trucks and cars decreased from 1975 to 2007, it increased by 3% and 2%, respectively, from 1987 to 2007.
The improved performance has thus come at a cost of lowered fuel efficiency which the artificially low costs of fossil fuels have enabled. It must be said that in Europe, vehicles have decreased in both size and fuel consumption while increasing propulsion performance. Among other factors, the higher costs of gasoline and diesel fuel in European countries encourage the development of more fuel-efficient vehicles, exactly what we need here in N. America.
To Jeff Wishart and All . . .
Jeff, thanks for the helpful statistics.
That said, do you have access to the following info . . . ?
* The change (if any) in the average miles driven (per car) in the U.S.
* The change in the total number of cars on the road
Of course, the total CO2 emissions from automobile use in the U.S. in a given year would be roughly . . .
(Number of cars) X (avg miles driven/car) X (CO2 emitted per gallon of gasoline) / (avg miles/gallon)
The number of cars on the road has very little, if anything, to do with any "improvements" that ExxonMobil may or may not have come up with. The average number of miles driven in each car is more a matter of lifestyle and usage patterns, and again has little to do with any great magic by E-M — except that lower prices will actually increase usage to a degree, and higher prices will decrease usage, slightly. But, of course, E-M has not been trying to decrease usage by increasing prices, for the sake of the climate. Too, the amount of CO2 generated by burning a gallon of gas could hardly have changed very much at all, if at all. The amount of carbon in gasoline is "a lot", as carbon is one of the two fundamental ingredients, of course, along with hydrogen, in hydrocarbons. And, the avg MPG figures have improved modestly, but these have much more to do with the auto industry itself, motivated by fuel efficiency regulations, than by anything that E-M would have done voluntarily and happily.
I'd love to know the trend (during the period) in the TOTAL CO2 emissions resulting from automobile use in the U.S. I'm sure the figures are readily available; it's just that I haven't had time to go after them.
Well, if you have any additional stats to share, please do.
Be Well.
The ad says "today's car" and shows a tailpipe – it is clearly refering to the regulated tailpipe emissions from the vehicle. I suppose one could infer that Exxon is taking credit for all of the reduction which is misleading. The reduction of regulated tailpipe pollutants in the form of CO, hydrocarbons, and NOx is a significant technical achievement due to the combined efforts of oil companies getting the lead, benzene, and sulfur out or nearly out of the fuels, by other companies that developed the catalytic converter, and by the auto companies developing emission control systems. Granted this took government regulation to make it happen, but it was by no means a trivial technical accomplishment. Even PHEV's will need an emission system for their on-board liquid fuels. As far as Exxon goes, it is not up to them to improve the fuel economy of vehicles – that is up to the automakers to make them and the consumer to buy them. Be real – there is not much that an oil company can do to reduce the CO2 emissions of gasoline and diesel used in a vehicle. They can do more to reduce the CO2 created by the processes to make liquid fuels, but the hydrocarbon makeup of the fuel is essentially the same. If you don't like that, then make electricity with renewables and develop a fleet of battery powered vehicles.
Considering the Heartland ads in the Washington Post, I've been considering how to do a "Truth in Advertising" discussion. The FTC lays out the following re truth-in-advertising:
– Advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive;
– Advertisers must have evidence to back up their claims; and
– Advertisements cannot be unfair.
Hard, to me, to see how the Heartland ads or Exxon-Mobil greenwashing pass the "truthful and non-deceptive" clause, the evidence clause is, at best, only met via skewed processes, and as to "unfair" — don't understand that.
Jeff Huggins,
I found this data from the 1977 and 2001 National Household Transportation Surveys (close to 1975 and 2001 but not exact):
1977: Each vehicle traveled on average 10,200 miles/year and there were 120 million vehicles
2001: Each vehicle traveled on average 11300 miles/year and there were 204 million vehicles
You should be able to make your calculation now.
To Chaz, where do you think the GHG emissions exit the vehicle? Both GHGs and criteria-air contaminants (CACs) are exhausted through the tailpipe. So I don't think you can make the statement that the picture "is clearly referring to the regulated tailpipe emissions from the vehicle." The ad is then, as Joe and others have written, highly misleading.
I did my bit:
Title of blog post: "The New York Times is worse than a French whore and lies down for ExxonMobil the biggest polluter in the world and supporter of denialist lies"
If you want me to take it down, I will, but this has been going on for years, especially the last two years, and Jeff Huggins has pointed it out each and every time. Thank you, Jeff.
We don't have time for polite niceties, and really I no longer see the need — the New York Times has not listened to any complaints about this, not one.
To Jeff – What regulations are in place in the USA that regulate the amount of CO2 emissions from vehicles? CAFE does this indirectly. Exxon is obviously not counting these because they are not in the rule book yet. If those rules were in place then the ad would be clearly mis-leading. The way it is written today, it is open to interpretation. In 2007 the US transportation sector was responsible for ~30% of the nation's CO2 emissions, equal to about 1887 Tg CO2 Eq and it all came out of our collective tailpipes!
Truth in advertising: mined coal and petroleum hydrocarbons are material feedstocks and not true "energy resources." When these ancient, geologic materials (many imported) are set on fire in engines, power station boilers and other applications the result is complete pollution, including ocean carbonic acidification, high health care costs and terrestrial eco-system destruction. To protect our waters, foods and properties we need a true clean energy transformation throughout the country and world. This can create positive longterm investments rather than multi-dimensional debt and cost liabilities from burning mined "fuels."
It is very late for such corruption of information to continue, as unfortunately displayed by the venerable NYT. Has fraud become the standard operating procedure of US big media and business?
Complain to the FTC?
Dear James Newberry,
The New York Times has not been venerable for at least the last 2 or 3 years — Jeff Huggins has documented their perfidy and dealings with Exxon ads.
They are a disgrace, and are shooting themselves in the foot with this horrid immoral behavior right when they need to be moving to a better business model.
On their present course, they will disappear.
It's amazing to me how short sighted and biased the commenters here are.
"Emissions" does not equal greenhouse gases alone. Cars today ABSOLUTELY do have fewer emissions (especially of NOx and lead) than cars in the 1970s. NOx reduction would be huge, but for increases in vehicle miles traveled. But regardless, focusing only on CO2 is narrow minded.
Furthermore, increases in vehicle miles traveled cannot be blamed on oil companies or on car companies. Rather that blame falls squarely on the general public for their consumer and commuting decisions.
Let car companies sell whatever people want to buy. But people need to make responsible use decisions. I have a 4.2L V8 sportscar. BUT, I walk to work every day and drive my car less than 20 miles a week.

Good comment LDS Liberal.. there is always a down side!
Still, it's nice to see the state at the top of some positive rankings.

You're right on one of four.
Utah isn't #1 in bankruptcies, foreclosures or pornography. (We were #1 in per capita ONLINE porn subscriptions. The researcher who published that report speculated that it was because porn was less available from "retail" outlets in Utah.)
We are # 1 in antidepressant use.
Utah ranks dead last among states in several categories, including alcohol consumption per capita, alcohol-related auto fatalities, percentage of children with both parents in the work force, high blood pressure (we have the lowest average blood pressure in the US--all those antidepressants?) and percentage of women who get yearly pap smears.
Gotta love rankings.

add 3 cities in Utah that rank in the top 20 for air pollution.
So consider that Forbes used "enviromental controls" as a measure for what is good for BUSINESS, lax environmental controls are good for BUSINESS and bad for everyone else.

Not to nit pick. But that would be Newton's 3rd law.
Utah is a wonderful place to live. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are definitely bad in Utah. But #1 in pornography? No. People subscribe online because it isn't readily available like in most states. Regarding anti-depressants, many people self medicate with alcohol, weed, and other drugs. Since many Utahans stay away from that, they resort to anti-depressants. I am on them, and they have changed my life. Mental illness isn't something to gawk and make fun of. If you've had it, you know it can be debilitating.
I'm fine if people don't like Utah and some of its quarks, it leaves us who love Utah to ourselves. SLC is on it's way up, despite what magazines may or may not say.

Here's my take on state ratings... there is no reason for magazines to rate Utah highly if there wasn't something to it... we have little political power and are a small state... if the ratings were fixed or overinflated, they would be slanted toward the larger, more powerful states. Many of the factors are impacted by factors not impacted by politics... companies love our central location for distribution to the entire Pacific Coast. They also love our young workforce...other states offer an aging workforce with associated health and productivity issues... Companies also love our conservative, balanced budget commitment.. a sound fiscal environment means lower cost for businesses over time. Bankruptcies aren't an issue. Our people are more entrepreneurial than other states... more entrepreneurs equates to more bankruptcies... the only indictment on Utah is our low per capita expenditure on education and, again, there isn't much we can do about this until we decide to have smaller families... not likely in the future... and even this number is less important as companies see that the outcome of our education system with less money per student is outstanding as well.

I installed some hardware on Windows 7 Pro, and clicked the "Always trust drivers from ..." checkbox before installing. However, now I want to disable this, i.e. I want to be prompted again. I cannot find this information on from searching on google with keywords like "windows 7" driver trust install... ugh. Can someone tell me how to do this?
To be properly installed in Windows 7, a hardware driver must have a Setup Information file (with the extension .inf). This is a text file that contains detailed information about the device to be installed, including the names of its driver files, the locations where they are to be installed, any required registry settings, and version information.
All devices with drivers in the DriverStore folder include Setup Information files in the %SystemRoot%\Inf folder. The basic structure of a Setup Information file is similar to an old-fashioned Windows 3.x–style .ini file. Each piece of setup information appears on its own line under a bracketed section heading. Windows will not allow the driver package to be copied into the driver store unless these sections are present and filled in correctly.
In particular, an .inf file must contain valid [SourceDisksFiles] and [SourceDisksNames] sections. At the time the .inf file is copied into the driver store, Windows creates a folder for the driver files using the name of the .inf file with an eight-character hash appended to it.
You should delete the .ini file - make a backup first.

More info about signed drivers in Windows 7: http://www.webworldarticles.com/e/a/title/Windows-7-installs-drivers-from-trusted-publisher/
The answer is wrong... the correct way to do this is to run the Certificate Manager and remove the certificate from the Trusted Publishers node.

Mental Health Center
Feb. 6, 2003 -- It is widely believed that boys who are victims of sexual abuse become abusers themselves. Studies of pedophiles suggest this often is the case, but new research shows that the risk may be smaller than previously thought.
Roughly one in 10 male victims of child sex abuse in a U.K. study later went on to abuse children as adults. But the risk was far greater for sexually victimized children who came from severely dysfunctional families. Family history of violence, sexual abuse by a female, maternal neglect, and lack of supervision were all associated with a threefold-increased risk that the abused would become an abuser. The study is reported in the Feb. 8 issue of The Lancet.
"The message here is that sexual victimization alone is not sufficient to suggest a boy is likely to grow up to become a sex offender," study author and psychiatrist Arnon Bentovim tells WebMD. "But our study does show that abused boys who grow up in families where they are exposed to a great deal of violence or neglect are at particular risk."
Bentovim and colleagues from London's Institute of Child Health identified 224 adult male victims of child sexual abuse whose childhood medical and social service records were available for review. They then searched arrest and prosecution records to determine their later criminal activity. Most of the subjects were 20 years old or older when the study was conducted.
Twenty-six of the 224 sex abuse victims (12%) later committed sexual offenses, and in almost all cases their victims were also children. Abused children who came from families where violence was common were more than three times as likely to become abusers as were those who experienced maternal neglect and sexual abuse by females.
One-third of the adult abusers had been cruel to animals as children, compared with just 5% of the child abuse victims who did not grow up to commit sexual crimes. But abusers and nonabusers experienced similar levels of physical abuse as children, and there were few significant differences in the severity or characteristics of the sexual abuse they suffered.

"Food As an Economic Development Tool" Feasibility Analysis results now available: In 2014-15, UEDA worked with consulant Karen Fulbright-Anderson as part of a USDA-funded project to explore how nonprofit and for-profit organizations were incorporating the food sector in economic & workforce development activities. One key finding is that there is no real infrastructure in place that connects these various activities to other technical assistance resources available in the local food and small business sectors. This will guide our work with the Food Enterprise Development Network (FEDN) in 2016. Check out our Study Snapshot, Full Summary Report and Nonprofit Capacity Assessment Tool

If a field is marked editable=False, and it is included in a fieldset in a model admin, and it is also listed in readonly_fields, an error is raised:

I can't recreate any problem along the lines you sketch out. I just added readonly_fields to one of my ModelAdmin classes that has fieldsets specified, listing several of the fields specified in fieldsets, and it works fine. They display and are not editable; no error. r12063 if it matters.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by lashni
It looks like I was misusing readonly_fields then. I was using it to display fields that were set editable=False rather than using it on normal fields.
date_created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, verbose_name='created')
That model field or any normal one to which I add editable=False will normally not display in an admin add or change form but if I list it in readonly_fields it does display. It also lets me position it with fields but not with fieldsets.
comment:3 Changed 7 years ago by Alex
Using readonly_fields with editable=False should be supported. (I bet it actually works but the validation fails on it).

Since I installed iOS 6 on my iPhone and iPad, iCal shows Sunday as the start of the week, rather than Monday. These iOS iCals are synced over iCloud with iCal on my Mac OS X desktop, which has a General Preference for "Start week on" and which I have set to Monday. How do I make a similar setting for the iOS 6 devices?
Unfortunately, the region format for Ireland sets the start of the week to Sunday.
There's no way to override this other than to set the region format to United Kingdom, which has Monday as the start of the week.

Brooklyn Resident Tells Film Crew It's Not Welcome in These Here Parts
Spotted: an angry sign.
Over the course of the Bloomberg era, as tax credits for film shoots have soared, more and more TV shows and movies are filming in New York City than ever before, and are adding $7.1 billion to the local economy annually.
To some New Yorkers, having a film shoot in your neighborhood is an exciting development. You walk by hoping you'll catch them in the middle of a scene (they never are) or that you'll at least spot a famous person (you never do). You see crew members hanging out near a table of snacks. Someday you may try to grab one of those snacks when nobody is looking and run, run like the wind with your illicit croissant.
To others, as this photo snapped in Fort Greene today attests, the trucks and trailers that overtake the streets are like no-good Freedom Riders stirring up trouble in the Deep South. You take yer cameras, and you get the hell outta here, ya hear? This is a nice, quiet town. Yer kahnd ain't welcome.

I have downloaded the latest version of jetpack on my wordpress 3.5.1 for my self hosted blog. I want to use the jetpack comments, but I don't see an option to "Activate" it. From going through these forums, I have gathered I need to connect the JetPack plugin to my wordpress.com account. However, I do not see the option to connect to my wordpress.com account when I activate JetPack on my self hosted blog (currently running on localhost)
I have tried deactivating and reactivating JetPack.
Has anybody else faced this issue? Any solution? It's really frustrating. I'm sure I am missing something but it seems like the "connect" option is given on activating the plugin - but I can't see it. Would really appreciate some help/tips.

Pope Francis has already made it clear that his papacy will focus on the poor and destitute. It's a mission the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor have lived out for years. The order of nuns started a ministry in 2010 to help prostitutes in Over-the-Rhine.. . . .Driving down McMicken Avenue in Over the Rhine, it's common to see women like Sarah standing at the corner. Today she's crossing the street to meet someone you might not expect. "Sister Grace, she has helped a lot of us out. And if it wasn't for her, there's times we would be freezing outside, starving, no clean clothes."
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. I pray that one day we will also have similar services.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Creating a fitting companion to Comic Book Resources' rundown of late and missing comics, Neal Adams had provided an update on Batman: Odyssey, his 13-issue miniseries that disappeared in February following the release of Issue 6.
"What the heck is happening with Batman: Odyssey?" the influential creator wrote on his Facebook page. "DC tells us the solicitations have begun for the last 7 monthly issues. Your stores have not been reacting to your enthusiasm, but rather, they have been reacting to the internet chatter. Chatter that I … perhaps should have responded to. Now it's all verblunget and you guys are the ones who are losing out, and I am sorry."
The long-gestating series, which premiered in July 2010, sends the Caped Crusader on a frenetic — maybe even madcap — Homeric journey that, Adams said, still promises "neanderthals, evolved dinosaurs, magicians, war, death, gnomes, trolls and tests, the like of which Batman, the modern Ulysses, has never faced in his life … all happening in a real underworld."
"The multiple climaxes are killer," he wrote. "But if you care … Man, I hate to say this .. you've got to hoc your stores like bloody hell to get these issues. My promise to you is to give you the best, most exciting comic books ever. I've never failed you, and I never will. But this time, you've got to dig in and demand your stores get this. The best Batman series ever."
Why the push? Adams suggested in the post that's because of a lack of promotional support from DC Comics.
"You notice Marvel is actually promoting my work for them? Avengers and the 'Secret Project'? You'll notice Dark Horse is promoting Blood?" he wrote. "Well, for some reason, DC isn't promoting Batman: Odyssey. So … it's up to you and me, guys and gals."
Update: Adams wrote that Batman: Odyssey will pick up again in October with Volume 2, Issue 1: "Don't ask me why. It's their company, and their business."
IMO after reading 6 issues of it, I was relieved to take an indefinitely break. It's a mess. Storywise it makes little sense and the art is sloppy and poorly broken down (into a coherent panel structure). It's not surprising that DC isn't pushing it. Sorry Neal, you are a great, but this isn't.
Yeah, DC aren't promoting it, because nobody liked it!
A little confused. Is Neal trying to say that the issues are printed, but stores just aren't carrying them because DC isn't promoting them?
And, no offense to Neal, but let's be honest: he has let us down in the past. I'm still waiting for that uber-hyped, Neal Adams-drawn, epic conclusion to that stack of ARMOR comics I bought as a kid 20+ years ago.
can see why Neil is upset for if Dc is not promoting the thing then kind of hard for readers unless they go hunting for it to buy the thing so more issues can be printed. though even a comic legend like Neil should relize that maybe dc is not promoting the thing because its not up to their standards they wanted for it.
having not read the issues that are out, i cannot comment on the quality of this comic, but i have been getting a sense recently that DC has terrible marketing sense and are often misleading or chock full of hyperbole (which i know is common in comics, but they get ridiculous).
I trust Adams before I trust DC. However for that same reason I'm not picking this up. Maybe after the relaunch IF they show more respect for their characters and their fans then.
DC ran a however many page preview for it in the back of all their books one month, he did some interviews about it, I even remember seing some ads for it in comics. What else does he want in terms of promotion? TV ads like the new 52? If shops aren't ordering it in big numbers I doubt its because no ones heard of it. I was liking it well enough, better probably than all the batbooks other than the ones Morrison's been writing, but I don't know what kind of promotional push would sell a 13 issue mini series that comes out on whatever random schedule, and I do seem to remember a real promotional push taking place.
"The best Batman series ever."
Is he delusional. It's probably the worst book DC's published in ages (and I'm counting DeeDee's Outsiders)
I was enjoying the hell out of the series. It was challenging, yes, and maybe that was offputting for people who need to be spoonfed their entertainment. The artwork and the layout I found was the perfect complement to the story.
Hey kids, not every Bat-Epic needs to be dripping with blood or seething with Milleresque homosexual self-loathing to be good.
I would have figured that Marvel and Dark Horse are promoting Neal's AVENGERS issue and BLOOD because they're about to come out, much like DC promoted ODYSSEY strongly before it launched.
That's what comics publishers do. Sadly, there generally isn't a lot of promo time or promo dollars available to push books halfway through their run; that happens when a new run or new storyline begins.
It would be nice (however noisy) if they could promote everything, though.
"What the heck is happening with Batman: Odyssey?"
I think everyone's been saying that since the first issue.
I hope that they DO bring this back, because I have missed it terribly. Yes, it is a bit…insane. That's one of the reasons that I like it so much. Watching Batman flailing around and having hissy fits, and being something LESS than omnipotent is a real treat. Plus the art is beautiful.
Hey, David Stewart, a comic book doesn't need to promote fascism to be good. Oh, what? You never said anything like that? Well, it's okay, because you see, I can pretend that you did, so it seems more like I'm on the winning side of an argument.
What's that you're saying now, Dave? You're saying you're a big fan of Charles Manson? Jeez, this David Stewart guy sure is a jerk; I advise everyone to ignore his opinions.
Neal Adams is a shadow of his former self. His best drawings are behind him, and his current comics figures are warpy, inconsistent, and guilty of overacting, even by comic book standards. Sad case. Stick with his '60s – '70s output, and ignore the rest. It's downhill from there.

MultiCoin is AFAIK the only GUI client that supports NameCoin. Is there a trusted Windows binary to be found?
I have been doing windows builds of multicoin-exp, but have not heard of anyone using them so don't keep it up to date unless I get a request usually.
http://www.wuala.com/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/multicoin/MultiCoin-exp/src/bitcoin.exe/ is actually mutlicoin, however I am pretty sure this version only works with the config file that would have been compatible with .62 and needs to be updated for .63 now that we have passed block 19200. I can update it if anyone wants it to be.

In a 23-5 season, there aren't going to be very many off-nights. But that's just what Lady Green suffered through Tuesday at Sterling in a CKL triangular with Hesston and the host Black Bears.
Pratt began the night losing to Sterling 25-21; 19-25; 23-25. "Sterling had big blocks that we weren't ready for," explained PHS head coach Shelby Nesbit. "We really struggled with communication, getting our block up at the same time. Sterling came out strong and ready to play and we could never really get going."
In the nightcap, Lady Green fell to Hesston 22-25; 19-25. "I was proud of the way the girls fought back against Hesston after struggling against Sterling," Nesbit said. "We were up on them both sets and let them creep back in. Their tip and roll-shots killed us."
"Overall, it was a very disappointing and frustrating evening of play," Nesbit continued. "Our mistakes killed us. We beat ourselves tonight. We have to move forward from tonight. We will be fine but need to take it one team at a time. We have to focus more in practice about what we can control and perfect."

Can anyone recommend a module or other Drupal add-on that can be used to format code nicely like I see on a lot of blogs and websites? Ideally something that would integrate with CKeditor, but that's not critical, I can make do with HTML tags if need be. Thanks.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The two most popular Drupal modules seem to be Code Filter and GeSHi Filter for syntax highlighting. For getting GeSHi to work with CKeditor, check out the WYSIWYG - GeSHi bridge module.
Well, there's http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/ which is javascript. It gets applied at view time.
To see your code highlighted in the actual editor, you're probably going to have to work a bit harder. If it were me, I'd start with http://ace.ajax.org/ , which is an editor that grew out of Mozilla's constantly-renamed in-browser IDE project.
Maybe it's to much but check this http://drupal.org/project/grammar_parser_ui
Quick follow up: as per this post, the WYSIWYG-GeSHi bridge development has been put on hold because of some problems integrating GeSHi buttons into CKeditor's toolbar (they make all the other buttons disappear). I can confirm that this is the case.
However, if I use GeSHi tags in HTML source, they do format things correctly. The really key thing left out of the GeSHi module documentation is that you need to enable it as an input format in Drupal.
Next I'm going to try this method for integrating GeSHi formatting directly into CKeditor without using the WISYWIG module or any bridges. Thanks again for everyone's help.
There's the Prettify module that implements Google Code Prettify as JS library. It works out of the box but it appears to duplicate the pre tags, that is, one pre tag appears as container for the other one:
That's only annoying because you can't really style the pre tag if there's two of them because all your styles are duplicated leading to double margins, padding, borders. etc.
Still, it works out of the box if you can deal with using the default styles provided with the module, and there are a number of them, i.e. Google Code, Stackoverflow etc.enter link description here

South Australia
Adelaide Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood likens tensions between cyclists and motorists to South African apartheid
- From: The Advertiser
- May 20, 2014
LORD Mayor Stephen Yarwood has compared tensions between Adelaide's cyclists and motorists to the South African apartheid, a comment branded offensive by the Chairman of the African Communities Council of South Australia.
Mr Yarwood's Lord Mayoral rival in the upcoming council election has also slammed the comment, made on a podcast, branding it "stupid" and "most unfortunate".
"I could have sworn apartheid went out in the 20th century," Mr Yarwood told podcast show Another Boring Thursday Night in Adelaide.
"But apparently cyclists are evil and must be rid from the surface of the earth," Mr Yarwood told the show.
MORE: Listen to the full podcast here
When contacted by Advertiser.com.au, Mr Yarwood said he was not joking or being offensive.
"It wasn't a joke," Mr Yarwood said.
"I was saying that I was pleased apartheid no longer existed and that providing services for all groups is important.
"It was a blunt statement that apartheid was wrong and that calling for no safe infrastructure for cyclists seems to be a very unfair approach to providing equality and justice.
"If I have offended anyone in the community I am genuinely sorry."
Simmering tensions between cyclists and motorists boiled over this month ahead of the opening of the controversial Frome St bikeway .
Motorists and prominent business leaders have slammed the separated bike lane, while Adelaide City councillor Mark Hamilton labelled it cycling policy "gone berserk"
Cr Mark Hamilton – who is running against Mr Yarwood at the November council elections – said the apartheid comment was "most unfortunate."
"I would say it's a stupid comment to make," Cr Hamilton said.
"If one is going to make historical references, the Lord Mayor sounds like a crusader from the middle ages.
"It's stupid and a most unfortunate comment to make and it's also badly based."
"No one is against cyclists at all."
MORE: I was hit by a car while cycling to work
The South African apartheid was a form of racial and economic discrimination that lasted 46 years and separated people across the country according to their ethnic background.
Chairman of the African Communities Council of South Australia Mabok Deng Marial Mabok said the comment was offensive.
Cr Anne Moran said Mr Yarwood's comments could aggravate tensions between cyclists and motorists.
"That's really dangerous to whip up that sort of antagonism," Cr Moran said.
"I'm really angry with his words and silly nonsense comments like that actually fan the flames of that hostility and could actually cause cyclists to be injured by idiot drivers.
"The apartheid was a terrible crime against humanity and this is a little grumble."
Cr Hamilton has previously said he will push for the bikeway to be scrapped, but Bike SA says that would "set investment in cycling back a decade or more".
It wants a a network of separated bike lanes across the CBD.

Fire is an ecological factor that has been present in the ecosystems of the Mediterranean region for thousands of years. Our study was undertaken to acquire knowledge of the effect of fire on the germination of Mediterranean species. We used high temperatures (up to 60°C) and smoke to determine the effect of these factors on the germination of species from the Mediterranean region. The species selected are characteristic of the central Mediterranean basin and are representative of both woody and herbaceous species: Rhamnus alaternus L., Cistus albidus L., Cistus monspeliensis L., Fumana ericoides (Cav.) Gand., Rosmarinus officinalis L., Melica ciliata L., Avena sterilis L., Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) C.H. Stirt., Anthyllis vulneraria L., Coronilla glauca L., Argyrolobium zanonii (Turra) P.W. Balland, Emerus major Mill., Genista scorpius (L.) D.C. and Spartium junceum L. The seeds were collected in Mediterranean shrubland (8) and woodland (6) ecosystems, around Montpellier, France (24°45′N and 3°50′E). Ten treatments were tested: a control, three smoke treatments and six heat treatments. The average germination level (germination percentage) and the average T50 rates (time taken to reach 50% of germination) were calculated. The smoke and heat act in a different way on each of the species. The smoke enhanced the germination of two species, whilst moderate heat increased germination in all of the species excepting R. officinalis, F. ericoides, A. sterilis, A. vulneraria, and G. scorpius. Germination was fastest in M. ciliata and S. junceum and slowest in A. sterilis, E. major and C. albidus. The cues did not significantly affect the rate of germination. Fire modified the germination response of 12 of the 14 species studied.

The NBA Draft is Thursday, and for the Pac-10, this is good news. Last year, the Pac-10 had just two players selected, Washington's Quincy Pondexter and Stanford's Landry Fields, fewest since 1978.
This time, the conference will be better represented. Here's a look at the top storylines, which includes Colorado's Alec Burks, even though the Buffaloes won't officially join the Pac-12 until July.
Since 1967, the Pac-10 (previously Pac-8) has had eight players taken within the NBA Draft's top two selections, and it's a pretty impressive group.
They are: Lew Alcindor (UCLA, 1969), Sidney Wicks (UCLA, 1971), Bill Walton (UCLA, 1974), David Meyers (UCLA, 1975), Dave Greenwood (UCLA, 1979), Gary Payton (Oregon State, 1990), Jason Kidd (California, 1994) and Mike Bibby (Arizona, 1998).
Arizona's Derrick Williams appears set to join them.
The sophomore forward solidified his top-draft status with a strong NCAA Tournament, which included a 32-point, 13-rebound against Duke in the regional semifinals. His efficiency impressed NBA scouts and he has drawn comparisons to New Orleans forward David West, who has averaged 16.4 points over eight NBA seasons and played in two All-Star games.
Still, there are concerns.
"The way I look at it, he's going to be able to score in the NBA. I don't think there's any question about that," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said. "I just question whether he's going to be able to guard effectively in the league. I would call him an inattentive defender. He saved some games with some spectacular blocks, but he was not a tentative weakside defender. Not a particularly good on-ball defender. ... He's got the tools to be a good defender, (but) he did not defend while he was at Arizona."
It was one of the bigger surprises of the Chicago pre-draft combine. Washington point guard Isaiah Thomas, listed as short as 5-8 during his three seasons at Washington, measured 5-10.
"No, 5-10 and a quarter," Thomas corrected in a phone interview. "I've always been measured at 5-9, but I haven't been measured in a long time. But in the end, it wasn't no lie because they had about six guys around me, looking at my feet, making sure I wasn't on my tippy toes."
Thomas knows teams are concerned about his height. He's heard it his entire career, and he said he feels like he has proven people wrong each step of the way. Thomas also points to the way 6-foot J.J. Barea of the Dallas Mavericks played during the NBA playoffs, starting three times against Miami in the Finals.
"A guy like that has helped me out so much, showing everyone that size really doesn't matter," Thomas said.
He's shot well during workouts, eliminating another question mark. Overall, Thomas feels like he's given himself a chance to go late in the first round (although the second is more likely), available to anyone looking for a back-up point guard who can provide instant energy.
"I've been working my butt off the last three months, trying to prove people wrong," Thomas said. "And like I've always said, you only need one team to fall in love with you."
In a draft weak on 2 guards, Pac-12 schools might have the top two in Colorado's Alec Burks and Washington State's Klay Thompson. Both strongly considered staying in school -- "Everybody thinks this was an easy, slam-dunk decision for Alec, but he was torn,'' Colorado coach Tad Boyle said -- but both couldn't pass up a chance to go in the first round. Barring a surprise, Thompson will be Washington State's first first-round pick since Don Collins went No. 18 in 1980.
ESPN draft expert Chad Ford on Burks (right): "I like his length, his athleticism, his ability to score off the dribble. I think that is primarily what intrigues NBA teams about him, his ability to create his own shot. If you saw him in that Kansas game where he lit up Kansas, no matter what they threw at him, he had the ability to get to the basket. If he was a better shooter, he'd be a Top 5 pick."
Washington State coach Ken Bone on Thompson (left): "Watching (the NBA playoffs), Mike Miller from Miami, I think Klay could be that type of guy who can just step in and bang down deep 3s. And yet Klay's going to be good enough to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim, too. Once he gets bigger and stronger, I think he'll have a really good NBA career."
Arron Afflalo. Russell Westbrook. Jrue Holliday. Darren Collison. Besides their college jerseys, all have something else in common.
"When you look at their statistics and (their) style of play, they don't always scream NBA player, but year after year we've learned that these elite UCLA players get to the NBA and they're well prepared,'' Ford said. "They had immediate impact, and sometimes they have better rookie years in the NBA they had in their last season at UCLA ,statistically."
Are Tyler Honeycutt and Malcolm Lee the next in line? That's what NBA general managers are trying to figure out, and it hasn't been easy. Neither Honeycutt nor Lee are coming off springboard-type seasons. Honeycutt, a 6-8 forward, showed flashes -- I thought he was the best passer in the conference -- but he often disappeared. Lee, a 6-5 guard, defended well, but he shot just 43.7 percent. On a team featuring impact post players, who often drew double teams, Lee never shot better than 30 percent from 3-point range in three seasons at UCLA.
Still, UCLA coach Ben Howland recently told UCLA Radio that Lee should be a top 40 pick with a chance to slip into the first round. Lee helped himself during workouts. ESPN's Ford said the Utah Jazz grouped him in a work out with BYU's Jimmer Fredette and UConn's Kemba Walker specifically to see how the top prospects performed against an NBA-level defender like Lee.
Honeycutt, however, is a mystery.
"I think teams are confused about him,'' Ford said. "That is the feedback from workouts. They like him. He's an excellent passer, high basketball IQ. A good athlete, has good size for his position, needs to add a lot of strength. They wished he shot the basketball better. ... I think he'll probably go somewhere between 20 and 30, but he could also slip out of the first round. He's not quite as set with NBA teams as other players are."
No other Pac-12 player has helped himself over the last couple months more than USC's Nikola Vucevic. Once considered a second-round pick, the 6-foot-11 power forward likely has played his way into the first round.
"First off, he measured well, which is rare," an NBA scout said. "Usually, these guys are listed at their true height, if not an exaggerated height, and he measured a little bit bigger. Second, he's very skilled for someone his size."
Vucevic told The Ripsit Blog that he is a better shooter since he left USC after his junior season, and that he has more confidence. "I knew that I was better than people were giving me credit for," Vucevic said.
Just two years ago, Michael Dunigan was an out-of-shape, foul-prone post player at Oregon. As a sophomore, he averaged just 9.0 points and 4.9 rebounds in 20.3 minutes. He left shortly after the university replaced then-coach Ernie Kent with Dana Altman and later had his name surface in an internal investigation into eligibility violations.
Last year Dunigan played in Estonia and Jerusalem. According to The Oregonian, he averaged 12.5 points and 8 rebounds, shooting 58.6 percent in 18 games for BC Kalev/Cramo Tallinn of the Baltic League.
"I had a pretty good experience," Dunigan said in a phone interview. "I got to do something that a lot of players my age don't get to do. I got to travel across the world, experience a different culture and play a different style. It showed me where I have to be to be able to play in (the NBA)."
Dunigan, 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds, signed a three-year deal with his team in Jerusalem, so an NBA team that drafts him likely will have to buy out his contract. A nice showing at the draft combine in Chicago was a solid first step.
"He walked in the building with his new body, and I think that did a lot for him," said Mike Naiditch, Dunigan's agent. "There were some issues with his conditioning, so we really wanted to put him in front of people to show he's in better shape than he used to be."
Because of defensive skills, don't be surprised if Washington's Justin Holiday (right) gets drafted. "Wing defenders who can guard multiple players have value at our level," an NBA scout said. "His body is still maturing, and he has some things he needs to work on. How good is he with the ball? Can he shoot? But he has a definable trait as a wing defender, and I know he's on people's radar." ... Washington forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning also could hear his name called, giving the Huskies a chance to place three in the draft for the first time since the NBA went to two rounds in 1989. ... Other hopefuls: Stanford guard Jeremy Green, Washington State forward DeAngelo Casto, Colorado's Cory Higgins and USC forward Alex Stepheson.
Since 2000, UCLA has had the most players drafted among Pac-10 schools with 15. The Bruins are followed by Arizona (13), Stanford (9), USC (8), Oregon (7), Washington (6), Arizona State (5), California (5) and Washington State (1).
