The Boeing 787 battery fire in Boston last month was caused by a battery short circuit that led to a thermal runaway condition, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has concluded.
NTSB investigators who did forensic analysis of the Boeing battery said the charred components indicated the temperature inside the 63-pound pack had exceeded 500 degrees Fahrenheit during the January 7 incident at Logan Airport. Evidence showed that one of the pack's eight cells short circuited, causing the temperature to soar.
"Our review of the flight data recorder data shows that the voltage of the battery dropped from a full charge of approximately 32 volts to approximately 28 volts," said NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman in a press conference on Thursday. "This drop is consistent with the charge voltage of a single cell."
NTSB investigators ruled out mechanical impact damage and external short circuits as the reason for problems inside the battery, Hersman said. They did not know, however, whether the short circuit was caused by battery charging or by defects in the design and construction of the unit, or some other problem.
Experts contacted by Design News said a temperature of 500 degrees can create serious problems for a lithium-ion battery pack. "It's high enough to cause the cells to bloat and possibly to burst into flame," Donald Sadoway, John F. Elliott professor of materials chemistry at MIT, told us in an email. "Remember, the electrolyte is volatile and flammable."
Boeing said it still has not announced any specific ways to fix the 787 batteries, despite reports in various news media that it has already settled on a fix. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the company "is looking at increasing the separation between cells in the lithium-ion batteries to reduce the potential hazards from heat or fire spreading within the batteries and adding enhanced heat sensors."
"There has been no public decision by the company on what these answers might look like or, specifically, what our teams have been working on," Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel told Design News. "We're not going to talk about a fix until we have something to share that's at the point of approval by the FAA."
Improvements like the ones mentioned by The Wall Street Journal have been the subject of much speculation over the past month. Two weeks ago, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk publicly stated that the 787 battery pack design was unsafe, and experts such as Sadoway and Elton Cairns of the University of California have suggested that an active cooling system would provide an additional layer of safety for a cost that would be miniscule compared to other 787 sub-system costs.
Sadoway again said last week that the Boeing batteries would be safer with active cooling. "That's what GM does in the Chevy Volt," he told us.

"Un espace de 30 à 50mm doit être laissé libre sous les modules pour permettre la désoperculation des éléments en cas de problème."
Google translation - I love this tool
A space of 30 to 50 mm must be left in the modules to allow uncapping elements in case of problems.
The problem still exist but this short solution will reduce the cascade effect in case of a cell failure and will improve the local cooling - trough enhanced sufrace contact with the air environment.

Scene 1
It is evening: a storm is raging. The citizens and soldiers are awaiting Otello's return from the war against the Turks. Among those in the crowd we find Jago, Roderigo, Cassio and Montano. Otello's ship is in distress: the chorus raise their voices to Heaven in prayer (Dio fulgor della bufera). Jago and Roderigo alone do not share the general anxiety. At last the ship is safely harboured. Otello disembarks, announces their victory (Esultate!) and then enters the fortress (chorus: Vittoria! Sterminio!). The storm shows signs of subsiding. To one side, Jago and Roderigo start to hatch a plot. Roderigo is secretly in love with Desdemona; Jago promises to help him win her, and tells Roderigo of his hatred of Otello who has appointed Cassio as captain instead of him. As the two move off, Jago starts to illustrate his plan. The citizens and soldiers have lit a fire to celebrate the victory (chorus: Fuoco di gioia!). Jago tries to get Cassio drunk: he invites him to drink to the marriage of Desdemona and Otello and thus Roderigo's jealousy of Cassio is aroused. He then proposes a toast (Innaffia I'ugola) in which everybody joins. Soon Cassio is drunk, and when Montano comes to call him for his turn on watch, he is incapable of obeying him. Roderigo then provokes Cassio, and a scuffle breaks out. Jago fans the flames sending Roderigo off to the town to raise a general alarm.
Scene 2
The brawl is interrupted by the arrival of Otello. Jago Cassio drunk and Montano wounded, demotes protests his innocence; Otello, angry at finding Cassio, and then orders everyone to depart.
Scene 3
Otello and Desdemona, left on their own, join together to sing of their love for each other in a powerful duet (Giá nella notte densa). Reflecting on Otello's tales of war, their thoughts turn to Desdemona's sympathy for his misfortunes. It is full night, the sky has cleared. Otello and Desdemona kiss ecstatically. Ten, embracing, they move off towards the castle.
Scene 1
Jago continues his scheming. He advises the disgraced Cassio to ask Desdemona to intercede for him; Cassio goes to wait for her in the Garden.
Scene 2
Jago, now all alone, reveals all his evil treachery (Credo in un Dio crudel). Desdemona comes into the garden followed by Emilia. With great satisfaction, Jago observes Cassio approach Desdemona and notes the friendliness with which she greets him.
Scene 3
Otello arrives. Jago pretends not to see and KLÁRA shows slight annoyance at something. Otello notes the conversation between Cassio and Desdemona. Jago, by cleverly dwelling on the subject of Cassio, succeeds in arousing Otello's suspicions to such an extent that he bursts out in a fit of anger and jealousy against Cassio and Desdemona. In the garden, Desdemona is surrounded by women, youths and sailors who offer her flowers and gifts (chorus: Dove guardi splendono). Her grace and charm move Otello, who for an instant forgets his suspicions.
Scene 4
Desdemona goes up to Otello and speaks in favour of Cassio. Otello sees his suspicions confirmed and violently pushes her away from him. Otello, Desdemona, Jago and Emilia begin to sing a quartet: Desdemona tries to make it up with Otello (Se inconscia, contro te, sposo, ho peccato), who in fact considers himself betrayed and derided (Forse perché gli inganni); Jago argues with Emilia for the handkerchief dropped by Desdemona and finally seizes it from her.
Scene 5
Otello, alone with Jago, gives vent to all his desperation. Jago pretends to reassure him, thus bringing about another fit of anger. Otello weeps for his ruined life and disgraced glory (Ora e per sempre addio, sante memorie). Otello is in need of proof: as Jago shows signs of drawing back, Otello, mad with rage and suffering, rushes at him. Jago by now has achieved his goal: Otello is in his hands and ready to believe his every word. Jago tells of having once heard Cassio express his love for Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's possession. Otello has no more doubts and swears revenge (Si, pel ciel marmoreo giuro!); Jago promises to stand by him and seals their union by repeating the oath.
Scene 1
A herald announces to Otello that the galley bringing the Venetian ambassadors is approaching the port Jago undertakes to make Cassio speak so that Otello, who has concealed himself, can discover the truth. Jago goes out and Desdemona enters.
Scene 2
The discussion between husband and wife, at first affectionate, rapidly becomes violent. Desdemona turns the conversation to Cassio, thus aggravating Otello's jealousy. Otello asks her for the handkerchief which Jago has mentioned to him. Desdemona does not understand the great importance, which Otello attaches to the handkerchief, continues to insist in favour of Cassio and thus worsens the situation. Otello accuses her of being unfaithful and insists on her justifying herself by swearing on oath. Otello's terrible threat upsets her (Esterrefatta fisso lo sguardo tuo tremendo): her pleading succeeds only in changing Otello's violence into ruthless sarcasm.
Scene 3
Otello, alone, yields once again to desperation (Dio! mi potevi scagliar tutti i mali).
Scene 4
Jago enters, followed by Cassio. Otello hides.
Scene 5
Believing that he is alone with Jago, Cassio allows himself to be talked into a ribald gallant conversation: the subject of his discussion is Bianca, the woman he is in love with, but Jago makes sure that Otello is able to catch only apart of their conversation and that he is led to believe that Cassio is talking about Desdemona. Cassio shows Desdemona's handkerchief which Jago has secretly planted in Cassio's house. From his hiding place, Otello sees the handkerchief, to him the decisive proof of Desdemona's infidelity. Jago (Questa é una ragna dove il tuo cour) urges Cassio to brag about this mysterious gift, a token of his successful conquest. A fanfare of trumpets is heard, then a cannon shot. The ambassador's ship has reached port. Cassio leaves.
Scene 6
From outside, trumpets and loud applause announce of Desdemona's guilt: Jago suggest that Otello kill her the arrival of the ambassadors. By now, Otello is certain that same night, while he himself will attend to Cassio.
Scene 7
The hall fills up. Lodovico enters, followed by dignitaries, other gentlemen and ladies, soldiers and trumpeters. He brings Otello a message from the Republic. In the conversation, which begins, Desdemona speaks of her affection for Cassio, thus exasperating Otello who rushes at her and strikes her in full and horrified view of the assembled company.
Scene 8
Othello reads the message from the Doge. He announces that the Republic has recalled him to Venice and appointed Cassio as his successor to govern Cyprus. Desdemona breaks into tears, which Otello sees as a sign of her suffering through separation from her lover. Mad with rage, he violently flings her to the ground. Desdemona's desperate words (A terra! Si... nel livido fango...) start off a great ensemble in which everyone expresses shock and compassion. Jago busies himself with his plans, kindling Otello's rage and convincing Roderigo to kill Cassio before dawn. In a fit of anger, Otello orders everyone to leave. Jago succeeds in convincing everybody that Otello is mad, and all go off horrified.
Scene 9
Otello, again alone with Jago, is distraught and faints. While fanfares and voices heard outside acclaim Otello, the triumphant Jago points to his victim with a cruel gesture of contempt.
Scene 1
Desdemona, helped by Emilia, prepares herself for bed. Maid comes to mind, and she repeats the sad Willow She is disturbed by portents of death. Her mother's Song, which she used to sing (Piangea cantando).
Scene 2
Desdemona, left alone, recites her evening prayers (Ave Maria), then goes to bed.
Scene 3
Otello enters. He observes Desdemona in her sleep, shows his rage, then kisses her three times. Desdemona wakes up. Otello orders her to prepare for death. Desdemona's pleading and declarations of innocence are to no avail. He suffocates her. A knock is heard at the door: it is Emilia who brings news of the death of Roderigo, killed by Cassio. With her last breath, Desdemona proclaims her innocence. Emilia, horrified, shouts for help.
Scene 4
Lodovico, Cassio and Jago run to the scene. Emilia reveals the deception of the handkerchief. Montano, who has arrived with men-at-arms, confirms that Roderigo has incriminated Jago with his dying breath. Jago flees. For Otello, the final moments have come (Niún mi tema): heartbroken, he draws a dagger and stabs himself, dying as he makes a last attempt to kiss Desdemona's corpse.

It was bound to happen. With all of the interest in service-oriented robots -- like those that make your noodles, serve your drinks, and make your burgers -- it should come as little surprise that a restaurant comprised nearly entirely of a robotic wait staff has opened in China.
The so-called Robot Restaurant -- outlined in the Daily Mail and other published reports and a video online -- is located in Harbin, Heilongjiang province in China and has a staff of 18 multi-colored robots that uses sensors and conveyor belts to move around the restaurant and serve customers.
The robots perform a number of tasks, like bringing specialty noodle and dumpling dishes to tables after human wait staff take orders, leading clients to their tables, and also cooking the dishes being served.
They stand between about four feet and five feet tall, can exhibit about 10 different facial expressions, and run on batteries that have about a five-hour life span. The robots can also verbally greet customers.
The Harbin Haohai Robot Company designed the machines in use at the restaurant, which serves about 30 different dishes and in which the company invested about 5 million yuan ($790,000). Each robot itself cost about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan ($31,500 to $47,000). The restaurant opened last year.
This kind of noodle joint may sound like the stuff of sci-fi, but it comes as little surprise to me, someone who's been watching the robotic space for a while. Robots in the restaurant industry are part of a new wave of service robots emerging in a market that is expected to grow at an even faster clip than the busy industrial robot market over the new few years, according to a recent study from Freedonia, "World Robots to 2016."
Asia in particular -- perhaps because of its interest in anime and sci-fi -- has been particularly receptive to using robots to interact with humans in service jobs. In addition to Harbin Haohai's creation of a robotic restaurant staff, it was a chef in Beijing named Cui Runquan who invented the noodle-making robot, which looks similar to the ones serving customers in Harbin.

A parched landscape with cracks in the ground thirsting for moisture, weeds competing with other vegetation in a struggle to choke the remnants of water from the soil and a man with a wide brimmed hat, sun-seared skin, looking toward the sky wondering when it will rain – these are images of areas associated with erratic rainfall or those that are suffering from drought.
And although one might not see a windstorm with tumbleweeds blowing across a barren stretch of land, the drought that began Dec. 15 impacted Aiken County, as it was one of seven South Carolina counties on the Georgia border that's eligible for federal emergency small business disaster loans.
Small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations in those counties that experienced some type of impact because of the drought are eligible to apply for the loans through the Small Business Administration, Michael Lampton, Small Business Administration spokesman said. The loans are contingent on the nature of the incident.
If the drought causes one of the aforementioned businesses to lose its ability to pay bills, account for payroll and retire fixed debts that could have been addressed under normal circumstances, they'll be eligible for those loans, said Lampton. The loans are not to be confused with lost sales or profit.
Those businesses involved with agricultural production, farming and ranching are not eligible to apply for loans through the Small Business Administration, with the exception of aquaculture enterprises. Nurseries are also eligible to apply.
"The Small Business Administration can provide assistance to the those businesses in the community that were impacted," said Lampton, in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. "This infusion of working capital can help sustain the operations because they've lost revenue as a result of the drought."
But, what do area businesses do to cope with limited or erratic rainfall, evaporation and the challenge of keeping a place sufficiently irrigated?
River Rich Hunt Club's Watson Bode was able to weather the storm, or lack thereof, by having sufficient irrigation on his property. Bode uses a sprinkler system on his garden every three days, and his flowing wells and an electric pump on his property to keep his ponds full.
"The sandy land doesn't hold moisture," said Bode. "It would have to rain every five days. And for the past three or four years, rainfall seems to come to a stop every May."

Floridians who voted in an online poll favor a new license plate design that features an orange forming the "O'' in Florida.
State motor vehicle officials announced the winning design Tuesday.
The body of the flat tag is white with black numbers. The word "Florida" is in white lettering on a green stripe across the top. Another green stripe at the bottom has the words "Sunshine State."
The design, however, still needs approval from Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet before it can go into production.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles wants to replace existing plates that are difficult for red light and toll booth cameras to read. That's because they have raised numbers and an image of oranges and orange blossoms in the middle of each tag.

It had been quite a while since I had been to a postcard fair at Woking Leisure Centre, in Woking, Surrey, although I did go to the leisure centre in October last year for the family history fair.
The leisure centre is a great venue for a postcard fair (and a family history fair) because it has all the facilities that you could need on site, such as a restaurant and plenty of car parking. There is also plenty of space to move around and most importantly for me it is just a short walk (less than 10 minutes) from Woking railway station.
The fair was held over two days (Friday 21st May and Saturday 22nd May), with a specialist modern postcard fair included on the Saturday as well. There were supposed to be over 75 dealers (spread over more than 110 stalls) over the whole weekend, but I didn't count them. There were certainly more than enough to keep me busy for almost four hours, before my money ran out and I decided I needed to start heading home.
It wasn't just postcard dealers, although were in the majority, there were dealers selling accessories (albums and pages), cigarette cards, ephemera and most surprisingly for me someone selling old Ordnance Survey maps, something I had never seen before.
So was it worth me going? I would have to say "yes". The cost of admission was only £2 (£3 on Friday) and with such a large number of dealers it was inevitable that I would be able to add to my collection. I came away with eight postcards, several of which were incredible bargains, and one Ordnance Survey map (a 6" to the mile, 1912 edition of Henfield, Sussex).
There was however on item which I would have loved to have bought, a professional and probably unique photo of the shop in Hailsham which once belonged to my GEERING ancestors. The photo was a lot later than when my ancestors were there (probably by 60 or 70 years so) and the shop front had changed quite a bit since their time, so I couldn't really justify the £30 asking price!
The fair was organised by Specialist Postcard & Paper Fairs, their website has details of their upcoming fairs, the next one being at Twickenham on the 16th and 17th July 2010. Time to start saving my pennies!

There were once two musicians who just kept meeting.
They worked at Savannah River Site. They had mutual friends. They saw each other at bluegrass festivals.
Then, finally, they decided to stop and spend some time together.
From this bond, guitar player and singer Darryl Hudson and bass player Ronnie Davis formed the Savannah River Bluegrass band, Hudson said.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Hudson and Davis still play, but with two other men, singers Gary Oxley and Steve Smith.
Oxley, also a mandolinist, and Smith, a banjo player, were in the Carolina Bluegrass Band together before they signed on with Hudson and Davis.
The group travels around Georgia and South Carolina, playing traditional bluegrass music.
One of its more recent appearances was at Maude Edenfield Park in North Augusta for the Music in Park series.
In 2002, the band released its first CD, Hudson said. It featured Davis and Hudson with former members Tom Lowery and George Pritchard. Lowery was the banjo player before Smith, Hudson said.
Pritchard was a fiddle player who was also part of the North Augusta radio station WGUS. He passed away in July 2010, Hudson said.
Local musician Roger Abernathy is another former band member, Davis said.
They all come from different places, Oxley being from the farthest away, Ohio. However, each was affected by bluegrass from early on. Hudson has been playing since he was 9, Davis since he was 12.
Oxley and Davis grew up in areas heavily influenced by bluegrass, while Hudson and Smith watched musical groups on TV.
Bluegrass is said to have started with Bill Monroe and his band the Blue Grass Boys, Hudson said.
"People think bluegrass is an old, old music, but, actually, bluegrass music is about 10 years older than rock 'n' roll music," he said.
Rock 'n' roll revved up in the 1950s, while Monroe's band started in the '40s, according to the Country Music Television website.
Savannah River Bluegrass' style takes off those of the earlier generations.
Instead taking over the whole stage and having their own microphones, each person gathers and moves around one microphone, Hudson said.
Also, "bluegrass is a user-friendly music," Davis said.
The idea is you should be able to go to any bluegrass festival or concert and be able to just grab your instrument or microphone and perform with anyone, he said.
"It's kind of standardized," Hudson said.
Bluegrass is "something everybody can relate to and play," Davis said.
And in addition to playing traditional bluegrass, these musicians play bluegrass gospel. They also tweak country music into more of a bluegrass style, Hudson said.
Going to one of their performances, you might hear the sounds of Hank Williams, Webb Pierce or Osborne Brothers. However, you could also hear some of their original compositions.
No one person takes over the song writing. Each member has his own voice in the process, Davis said.
All live in the area now, are married and have children, Hudson said.
"They are a great bluegrass band," said Christian Schaumann, event organizer for Aiken's Bluegrass Festival.
Savannah River Bluegrass is scheduled for the Seventh Annual All Day Haynes Bluegrass Festival on Sept. 28 in Batesburg-Leesville and the Piney Woods Bluegrass Festival on Oct. 5 in Glenwood, Ga.
It has played at the Aiken Bluegrass Festival, Rose Hill Estate on Greenville Street N.W., Bill's Music Shop & Pickin' Parlor in Columbia and Appling Opry and Waynesboro Opry in Georgia.

Great read by Bill Plaschke. It describes all the emotions of this past crazy week.
Terrific piece by Plashke, who is a fair, unbiased scribe if ever there was one. (Read his pieces on the incompetent Jim Buss and you will know he is no flak.)
I want to also thank the members at CTB who have given me a nice welcome as a latecomer to the Clippers party. I never expected it to have the DTS drama; but that makes these playoffs so memorable. This "Game Seven" will go down in my memory banks with the Lakers "Game Seven" against Doc's Celtics. From now on "Game Seven" will have a dual meaning for me. Unforgettable.
Thanks to the players and CTB for making this a memorable week. I never expected it to rise to this level.
Now it's time to beat OKC and the NBA's favorite son. It can be done!!!!!
BTW...California Chrome won the Kentucky Derby. Could that be a sign?

COLUMBIA — South Carolina's top prosecutor on Friday asked the state's highest court to affirm his office's authority to try criminal domestic-violence cases in municipal and magistrate courts throughout the state.
The cases at issue emanate from the lower levels of the state's court system. But Attorney General Alan Wilson argued that the justices' decision could have broad implications on his office's ability to prosecute crimes.
At issue are two separate criminal domestic-violence cases in which the defendants' attorneys argued that the attorney general had no jurisdiction to prosecute the case in summary court. In one case, a Lexington County judge sided with Wilson.
A West Columbia municipal judge sided with the second defendant, however, writing in a July 24 order that, while the constitution gives the attorney general authority in all "courts of record," that title doesn't technically apply to courts at the municipal and magistrate levels.
"The State Constitution does not provide that the Attorney General may prosecute in all courts of the unified judicial system," Municipal Judge Kenneth W. Ebener wrote in his order, noting that all parties involved had stipulated that the municipal and magistrate courts were not "courts of record."
"This Court fines the plain, ordinary, and unambiguous meaning of the words in the Constitution limits the Attorney General's authority," Ebener wrote, noting that Wilson needs permission from the local court or a solicitor before prosecuting such cases.
Wilson asked the South Carolina Supreme Court to consider his appeal.
In a brief filed Friday, Wilson argued that the state constitution empowers his office to prosecute cases on all levels, without any such permission.
"The Attorney General has been designated in the Constitution as the chief prosecutor of the State in every court in the State," Wilson wrote. "A unified judicial system can tolerate nothing less."
In 1972, South Carolina voters approved a constitutional ballot question naming the attorney general as the state's chief prosecuting officer.
Each year, more than 36,000 people report domestic violence to law enforcement agencies across South Carolina, according to Wilson's office. Over the past 13 years, an average of 33 women in the state have been killed annually by their partners.
To handle the prosecution of CDV cases at the summary-court level, Wilson's office trains private attorneys to act as prosecutors on a pro-bono basis. Removing his office's authority in that system, he argued, would hamper South Carolina's justice system.
"The victims of these crimes deserve to have the State's chief prosecutor prosecuting or supervising the prosecution of these cases, as well as other criminal cases in summary courts," Wilson wrote. "The interpretation that the Town of West Columbia must, by ordinance, grant the Attorney General permission in order for him to be allowed to prosecute in that one municipal court is absolutely intolerable."
No oral arguments have been set in the case.

Let's destroy them for suckering us to take dudley
One hopes Dudley will pull out a great game against his old team.
Hopefully Jamal will have a good game too.
Looking forward to seeing Bled. I wish he were still on our team, but I'm glad he is having a great year so far with the Suns. I hope he does well against us, but not enough to get a win, lol. CP needs to dominate his former student and do the usual CP stuff. And Dudley, would you please find your stroke and get some points against your old team, please?
Not gonna have high hope, but hopefully his knee is feeling good this game. As long as he gets more than one basket & one rebound, it would be nice, lol.
Dudley's knee is not the reason why he sucks. Even he says he is at least 85 percent and doc doesn't know why he is playing badly. He's just not a good player.
The apprentice vs the master should be an intersting matchup.
Man i miss Bled, Collison's just atrocious. Still remember the 10' playoffs where he was the only player the Spurs couldn't defend.
Collison has been pretty good for us lately.
Atrocious? Not recently!
@Clippers_RealGM: #Clippers Leaders in PER: Chris Paul 28.0 | Blake Griffin 21.7 | J.J. Redick 18.1 -- Stats: http://t.co/De4Zvd8quE
Eric Bledsoe was my favorite Clipper and I was sad we traded him, but I knew he had to flourish somewhere else. With that said I hope we demolish the Suns!
Collison plays better without Jamal. Both those guys need the ball to be effective.
I am thinking EBled is gonna try and prove a point tonight. It's gonna be his "I have my own team now, check me out" type game. I, personally, am a little worried. Then another part of me thinks that we will come out strong and put them to bed early.
IDK, I am predicting a blow out either way, I just hope its in our favor
I agree that EBled is going to come out looking to impress his old team, but you have to remember that CP3 has been taking these young-talented PGs to school recently. Wall, Lawson, Curry, and Lillard. I predict CP3 continues to prove why he's still the top point guard in the NBA.
The shouldn't we trade one? Bledsoe is definitely ball dominant and he played just fine with Crawford.
His individual numbers are pretty good recently, but Collison isn't playing like a PG. As a PG, you direct plays and make the second unit better. From what I see from collison, it's mostly dribble down the court, pick n roll or whatever called play goes unsuccessful, then give the ball to Jamal.
Bled may try but we have to remember he probably isn't holding a huge grudge like our other Eric probably does. Ebled got what he wanted, to be a starter. He doesn't have to be 2nd string anymore.
That said,I can't even guess how this will go. What I do know is we may wake up tomorrow with a nice cushion as we leave 2013 in 1st,or,we could barely be in first going into 2014. Not that it makes a whole heck of a lot of any difference at this point in the season.
Na i would say DC is the best performing bench player since JC been a starter
ebled is a definite talent will be fun to watch him go against CP tonight
Clippers -7.5....hmmm This should be a very good game between 2 teams that are close offensively with the Clippers are a tad better on defense. Both teams should score over a 100 points. Either way, hopefully we score more then them.
I don't think anyone expected PHX to be 18-11 at this point.
Not even PHX did. Too bad they won't make the playoffs.
I can see Twolves leap frogging and getting into the playoffs.
But def glad to see Ebled be successful.
This is one of those games where I wish EBled has his best game ever but also hope he loses. Nice to see him back in Staples even if it means he has to guard CP.
I wouldn't count the Suns out. They are a very good team. Bledsoe and Dragic are low level all stars. Frye is a decent SF(what Dudley should have been for us). Plumlee is a decent center. The Morris brothers are actually good role players. Gerald Green is a solid role player.
They actually have more consistent/better role players than we do.
The Wolves have a fairly weak bench and they have an iffy frontcourt defensively(Love needs someone like DJ to play with him, Pek isn't a defensive anchor). Brewer is a very weak starter that can't shoot and Rubio can't shoot either which also leads to serious problems offensively.
I'm going to this game, and I think it is going to be very bittersweet seeing Bledsoe on another team. More bitter than sweet. I really miss having him on the team. It sucks that he isn't "our" guy anymore.
Expectations aside, I wouldn't bet on them (and I won't) not making the PO's, they're much better then you think.
The entire west Conference is stacked. IMO, all the teams other than Lakers / Jazz have enough talent to make playoffs. If you put the Jazz or Kings in the East, I think they'd actually be the 4th seed lol.
What kind of sloppy **** is this!?
They are just toying with us I have no idea what is going on.
Welp. 9-0 Suns. Clippers were lackadaisical in their passes. Sheesh.
Horrid start- just like that, 9-zip Suns. One of the teams need to wake up.
Why doesn't chris have the ball in his hands. This crap wouldn't have happened with him
Time to wake up everyone...
What an awful start. Inexcusable to come out like that.
Suns are legit.
wow just wow
That was some lazy ass pick and roll D DJ and weak passes by the team overall.
Let him land goran!
anybody knows if there is live stream of this game?
Wow talk about bailout- is that the Clippers' first FG attempt? 2 missed FT out of 3 by Jamal, SMH.
that was lucky as hell
Dudley and 1- thank you! Nasty block by E-Bled on Blake there.
Crawford with 2 missed fts wtf.
Think i like the Suns, their fast
They're turning the corner way too easily. CP FT jumper for 2!
These ft's are killing us!
Yikes bad free throw shooting from our team so far.

"The NBA has fined J.R. Smith $50,000 for 'recurring instances of unsportsmanlike conduct' following his shoelace stunts in the New York Knicks' past two games, the league announced Wednesday.
Smith untied Dallas Mavericks forward Shawn Marion's shoelaces during the second quarter of the Knicks' 92-80 win Sunday.
He was warned by the league to 'refrain from further conduct of this nature' before the Knicks' next game Tuesday.
Smith was then seen Tuesday attempting to repeat the action when he reached at Detroit Pistons big man Greg Monroe's shoes while lined up at the free throw lane."
You think he would learn from his mistakes.
I know the Knicks need all the help they can get. But I'd cut his behind.
J.R. Smith sucks. Dude is a cancer, headcase and a clown. A moron version of Jamal Crawford. Too bad my Knicks signed him. It doesn't help that Woodson is a moron and never holds him accountable for anything.
Unbelievable behavior from a grown man and a sports pro.................twice!
Dude needs to grow a brain.
J.R. is a doofus. And so very immature too. Thank goodness he is not on our team.
Wish crawford had won 6th man last year.

Is there really a "huge" gap offensively? Howard is no offensive machine; neither is DeAndre. If there is a gap, it is very slight and who has the edge is debatable. If you include free throw shooting into the "offense" category, the best either can do is get to the "I make 'em when they count" stage. I have not been following D12, but Jordan is making strides in that direction.
The reason the playoffs are so mesmerizing is that all these questions will be answered.
I much rather have DJ than Dwight simply because he has a much better contract. Dwight puts up a lot of points but his impact offensively doesn't amount to much. Offensively he is best used as a garbage man and pick and roll guy like DJ to be honest. Yes he has a post game but it is awful. He is a mediocre passer at best too which makes him turnover prone. He is also shut down way too frequently offensively. He is reduced to garbage against the Thunder. DJ always holds his own against him. For christ sakes I saw Bargnani shut him down. In fact, his adjusted +/- is actually negative on the offensive end. Most likely because the Rockets try to give him the ball in the post even though he is a mediocre post player at best. This kills ball movement and often leads to a TO since he is an inept passer in the post.
Lets look at the advantages and disadvantages.
Plays more minutes.
Plays more games.
Better rebounder.
Is paid less.
Better defensive anchor.
Scores more(but does this actually lead to tangible improvements in the Rockets offense?). Answer: Doesn't noticeably improve the Rockets offense(might actually be a detriment in some ways).
I much rather have a guy who plays in the flow of the offense and Dwight is not a good option as a post threat. He is only useful in the post if there is a mismatch.
Overall, I think Dwight is better for sure but its not like the gap is super huge. Dwight is nowhere near as good as he was in Orlando. Not only has he regressed A LOT in terms of his athleticism but skillwise he has gotten even worse. He used to have a somewhat decent post game but somehow his level of skill decreased and that is not a good thing considering his declining athleticism and injuries. Orlando Dwight blows DJ out of the water but Rockets Dwight is a shell of his former self.
Dwight shoots 10% better from FT and definitely has a better post up game (even though it still needs a lot of work). I'm only comparing their individual skills, where it only matters if they're the star player on their team.
There's little gap if you're just comparing them based on the contributions they're making on their current team, since both players get very less opportunity offensively. Both Rockets and Clips have at least 2 or more better options before going to these centers.
The Rockets have Harden, but I'm trying to figure out who the second guy is, Parsons?
I know people like to hate on Dwight, but Parsons averages 16.3 PPG (15.6 pts/36), not really seeing how he's an option before Dwight. DJ is the 5th option on the floor, Dwight is the second. Dwight averages 18.5 PPG (19.6 pts/36), similar to Paul's averages for the Rockets. Dwight is Houston's second leading scorer per minute, the next guys are Parsons at 15.6 pts/36 and Jones at 15.5 pts/36.
Yes, if we're adding contracts, durability, etc into the mix, I'm taking Jordan for THIS team, but that's different than saying in a playoff matchup vs Houston, the Clippers have an advantage because Jordan is now better than Howard, he just isn't. Howard has his faults, but he still gets to the line 9 times a game, and someone on the opposing team has to be committing those fouls. He's still an excellent rebounder, shot blocker and a very good defender. Yes, he's also still turnover prone, a weak passer and doesn't have great offensive awareness, and his post game has declined seemingly post-injury.
18.5 PPG / 12.3 RPG / 1.8 BPG / 3.3 TPG / 109 Ortg
10.4 PPG / 13.8 RPG / 2.4 BPG / 1.5 TPG / 122 Ortg
This team already has a go to big man option in Griffin, so the extra offense Dwight would bring just as a post-option just isn't necessary, but for Houston, they need that extra offense. Dwight is tasked to do a lot more offensively for Houston than DJ is for this team. Again, what is being contended is this:
"If we play D12, he is quite a big shorter than DeAndre. And simply not as good."
Yes...great conversation!!! Some more opinions:
Dwight is not a natural center size-wise, he used his "youthspeed" in Orlando to make up for this. Since he is not a hard worker (by all accounts), he is on the downside of his almost journeyman-like career. In the long run, I would take DeAndre ahead of Dwight any day of the week. But we are talking playoffs here, not long term prospects.
Forgetting contract considerations, I think that Jordan is better -- right now -- than Howard. As I said, DJ has more double-doubles, shoots a higher percentage, gets more rebounds and blocks more shots. There is no "altering shots" stats, but as a natural center, it appears DeAndre leads Dwight in this catergory too. And he seems not to be the ego headache "the great Dwight Howard" is. Plus, as a natural, true center, he has to work less to do more. Obviously, neither will be mistaken for JJ as a free throw shooter. I do think Dwight gets rattled more when he is at the charity stripe.
Where Dwight has the advantage -- should the two meet -- is Finals experience. Granted, he was eaten up by the Pau/Bynum duo. But Dwight does have that negative experience to draw from. Sometimes, knowing where you screwed up teaches you what you did wrong.
On balance, the classic Big Three of a true center, a textbook point guard and a monster power forward, bolstered by the arguable "sixth man of the year" in Jamaal Crawford, all led by a Champion level coach should be more than enough to win a title.
But herein lies my one fear: THE REFS. The Clips will have to be eight/ten points better than Miami if we meet in the Finals. The NBA wants that "threepeat" label on Mt. Rushmore. And they protect him more than Blake Griffin. (Why, I don't know. That Kia Slam Dunk should have been enough publicity for the NBA to protect BG.)
But if any team can do it, it is the Clippers.
I'm so excite. I'm going to game 2.
Eyy let's make our building the loudest! Organize the chants! haha
Rockets always run plays for their perimeter players (Harden, Parsons, Jones) first, if no good shots are available, they throw it down to Dwight.
I agree with taking DJ over Howard for the Clips though. Just a better fit.
A few weeks ago I was worried too. Especially in that 0-12 game.
But no worries, CP3's outside shot is back BIG TIME.
WE just need Jamal and Granger back.
Didn't the Heat just set a finals record for lowest FT attempts in a 7 game playoff series last season? If anyone is protected, it is Durant, it certainly isn't Lebron I'd be worried about when it comes to that. Lebron is protected about as much as Blake, and that means he isn't protected. They are big strong men and can supposedly take it, these guys get beat up a lot more than they are given calls.
LeBron literally just got fouled with no call by Plumlee on a game-deciding play last night. If that was Durant, even if the block was totally clean, Plumlee would have been given an Artest-style suspension and the Nets would have been demoted to the D-League. Oh, and Durant would get to shoot ten free throws.
Seems to me that BaadMaster is a Kobe stan who's insecure about LeBron already surpassing his boy's overhyped coattail-riding "legacy" and has to belittle LeBron's accomplishments with a false ref excuse. It's a shame, since his posts are otherwise fine when he's not ranting about LeBron.
If we get paired with GS they should pass out shirts that say "We Run Cali"... make it personal.
Let's look at the bigger picture.
Basketball, by virtue of its speed, cannot use replay as much as baseball and football can. Since elite playoff games are often decided by a point or two, refs can have a big influence over the outcome. In fact, just follow any game trail here and you get "refs screwed up that call" a lot. This might just be an inherent flaw in a game which speeds up every year.
As to LeBron, it just seems to me that he gets a lot of phantom calls. However, I don't watch that many regular season Heat games to back up my claim.
And CTB members are corrrect about Durant. Breathe on him and it is a foul. But I still stand by my assertion that if you had to give a "ref faves" order re. high NBA scorers, it would be LeBron, Durant and then Blake Griffin.
BTW You are right in one regard. I do not like LeBron. It has nothing to do with Kobe. I simply don't like him. Nothing more, nothing less.

God dammit we needed this win our defense will be killed by Lebron and the Heat.
Terrible terrible game..... And Doc wtf.. We need a big who can rebound and defend.... So we get another scorer
Doc shouldn't of had Crawford in the damn game he shouldn't even talk. Dudley is paid to be a defender at the very F'n least play him in that situation or trade him.
Have to vent on here, excuse me: F***** you Marc Davis.
I'm getting very tired of seeing roster spots wasted on guards. I seriously don't understand how there hasn't even been an attempt made to bring in a third big.
Damn i miss cp no one was guarding lawson
Well other than that missed free throw at the end, Blake had a monster game. That's one positive to take from this game. 36pts, 11rebs, 4asts, 0 turnovers. Blake and CP3 will be a scary combo once CP's healthy.
We can't even talk about a big in a game like this because Hollins was having a great game and on played 5 mins. Collison not being in killed us when the offense was getting nothing.
Dudley is more accurately paid to be a shooter than a defender. Technically, Barnes is paid to be a defender, but Barnes likes to reach and foul and get beat off the dribble also.
Our road record against west teams must be pretty horrible right now
Reggie Evans would have got a rebound lol
Still can't believe that Denver celebration lmao. It reminded me of the Bulls celebrating their 6th after Jordan hit the shot over Russell. Can't stop laughing.
Damn I can't wait till CP3 comes back
I hope a rebounding big will come to the clippers and that Trkoglu plays more at the 3 than at the 4. He gives his best but he is not a rebounder. For a guy who plays only 11 minutes he contributed more than Barnes and Dudley.
It's the missed free throws and horrible offensive rebounds that really allowed the Nuggets to hang on and ultimately win the game.
5 feet is about as close as you can get to a Nugget player without getting called for a foul. Blake had no choice.
Road record in general is bad (14-14) after tonight. Dudley going from actually good to atrocious in home vs road probably helps play into that. For his career he has been even, but this year it's been night and day. Lost in the last few weeks play is that the defense has been subsiding.
37 to 52 rebounds for nuggets wth we need reggie evans now.
I'll agree with you that the game shouldn't have come down to a fluke shot. Also, the Clippers are 2-11 when it comes to games in Denver. What made you think this was going to be an "easy" win in any sort of way?
He's actually doing well in the rebounding dept. We need help from our SF, SG and PG positions. Paul we'll help went he returns at least at the PG spot.
At least Portland also lost though, that makes me happy
That sucked, Marc Davis strikes again. Would have preferred Willie in there instead of Crawford for the last play. Blakes monster night was wasted
LOL, he's what this team is missing. Can you imagine him, Blake and this new and improved DJ? We would never get out rebounded again.
So can we trade Dudley for a ham sandwich? Or is that offer not on the table? I'm hungry
Well vented but Doc has to make an adjustments on rebounding schemes team rebounding has to be the focus. Limit the freaking leak outs.
Somebody on the Clippers either banged Marc Davis' wife or bullied him back in high school because the dude obviously got a vendetta against us. Hate to blame the zebras but even a non Clipper fan would admit all the calls went in Denver's favor, oh well at least theres next game...
We should at least push for an Italian meatball or a quality turkey sandwich. We don't want to come out on the short end of this trade.
I would just rather take the chance ourselves especially only being down 1 point.
****... I'd take olawakandi as a big right now.....
This is the funniest thing I have ever read on this forum. Thanks for the laugh, made this loss easier to swallow, lol
We're doing well in team rebounds, ranked 4th in the league.
http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/te ... s-per-game
Marc Davis is a Bronco fan and was mad they got raped yesterday so he screwed us over
You have to remember the opposing GM has a job to make his team better also, he can't just be throwing out favors to the Clippers.
Call me butter cuz I'm Oma roll. I didn't plan on drinking but the zebras forced me to
This game sucks so much more because of the Heat being next up.
DJ's defense was pretty bad today. Watch the game again and look at just him. He did pick it up in the 4th but there are 3 other quarters
Im shocked that a Player who didnt play for one year (Turk) handles and create more than Barnes and Dudley. And respect to you guys how you support Dudley and Barnes. At least Barnes plays defence but Dudley plays really bad on defence and offense. He looks out of shape.
m shocked that a Player who didn
I missed pretty much the whole game because I was at work. I remember on break I saw Blake lead the team to, like, an 8 point lead heading into half time. I sit down at my desk and turn on the score and it's freakin' tied at halftime. What the heck, man?
The Problem was not DJ. The Problem was that the Guards and Sf watched the whole time on the Rebounds they didn`t help DJ and Blake.
We outscored Denver by 12 when Dudley was on the floor tonight, I don't think he deserves much criticism for the result this particular game. Barnes is more athletic than Dudley, but Dudley I think plays much smarter on defense than Barnes.
Our biggest problems tonight were Faried and Lawson, Chandler had a pretty unremarkable game.
I have a good feeling about the Heat game, which is going to make this game harder to swallow. Miami is 0-5 since 2008 on the Clippers home court.
When they blew the lead at the end of the 2nd, I knew they were going to lose it eventually. Allowing consecutive offensive rebounds on free throws is simply inexcusable. Reemphasizes the point that they need another big to clean up the boards.
Also, can someone explain to me why Crawford was on the floor for the final shot instead of Dudley? What the heck Doc?
Sometimes I think one of the things we miss most about Chris Paul is his rebounding. Collison is fairly average rebounder at PG, but Paul is one of the best and helps make for the bad rebounding of Crawford and Redick.
Because Dudley is out of shape and a bad defender.
Maybe Doc didn't want bring him cold or something, particularly when he's not 100% physically? I don't know, but even limping around he's a better 3 point defender than Crawford. Maybe could have used something like Collison-Redick-Barnes-Griffin-Jordan if he didn't want to use either of them.
That has to be ranking total rebounds because the Clippers have currently played the most games in the NBA.
Sadly, we are 18th in rebounds per game, and 14th in defensive rebounds per game, but considering pace and rebound opportunities, we are actually a miserable 25th in defensive rebound percentage.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/stats/bytea ... p;sort=242
So sad, so sad.
No that's team rebounds per game...and per this site we are ranked 12th in total rebounds per game. One of the sites is wrong.
Maybe they missed an update because NBA.com also has us at 18th and 14th on defensive:
http://stats.nba.com/leagueTeamGeneral. ... tOrder=DES
Then 5th last in defensive rebound percentage from NBA.com and Basketball-reference
http://stats.nba.com/leagueTeamGeneral. ... ode=Totals
Oh, never-mind, they are talking about TEAM rebounds, not total rebounds. Team rebounds as in when the ball rebounds and goes out of bounds and you get the ball for example, never-mind, lol. Yea, their total rebounds per game has us at 12th.
We got shafted by the game, what'd Denver have like 20 straight possessions that yielded free throws leading up to that game winner by Foye?
With that said, I was hoping we'd intentionally foul Faried as soon as he touched it on the last possession.
The blown flagrant on Blake comes to mind as well, but I think what stands out most to me were all the sloppy passes in the second half, which I credit to fatigue.
On another note we seem to have issues defending an inbound play for a 3 pointer.
Seriously we know they are setting up for a 3 so why don't we actually do something about it, to much space. All Blake had to do was imagine that Kia parked there and lift off, he would have blocked the shot with his head

Aiken County School District officials formally presented 20 schools with banners last week, recognizing the Palmetto Gold and Silver awards they won for general performance and closing the achievement gap.
The awards were announced in March. The State Department of Education sent out the banners earlier this month.
A State Department spokesman said the program began with the Education Accountability Act of 1998. Each year, schools are recognized for high performance and for student improvement on state standardized tests.
The performance criteria was approved through the S.C. Education Oversight Committee. The achievement gap recognition was added to the awards program five years ago.
Belvedere Elementary School was among the Gold Award winners for general performance.
Keisha Lloyd-Kennedy, director the of charter Aiken Performing Arts Academy, was thrilled to learn that the school also received a Gold performance award.
"When I told the teachers Friday, they just cheered," she said.
Other schools that received gold awards for overall performance were Belvedere Elementary School, the Aiken Performing Arts Academy, the Aiken County Career and Technology Center, Aiken Elementary School, Chukker Creek Elementary School, Hammond Hill Elementary School, Millbrook Elementary School, North Augusta High School, North Augusta Middle School and South Aiken High School.
Silver performance honors went to Byrd Elementary School, Jackson Middle School, Jefferson Elementary School, Kennedy Middle School, North Augusta Elementary School and Schofield Middle School.
Schools that received Gold awards for closing the achievement gap were Chukker Creek, Kennedy and Schofield.
Silver awards in achievement gap performance went to Aiken Elementary School, East Aiken School of the Arts, New Ellenton Middle School, Redcliffe Elementary School and Warrenville Elementary School.
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standard's education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001. He is a native of Walterboro and majored in journalism at the University of Georgia.

Editor's note: This is the first story in an occasional series on understanding the criminal justice system.
You've seen it a million times: police arrest an alleged criminal, the handcuffs come out, the suspect is Mirandized and then – "Book 'em, Danno."
Pop culture has painted a picture of what it's like to be arrested, but how close is it to real life? Do cops have to read a person their Miranda rights? Are they hauled into a dark room and interrogated with a light shining in their face? Does a person really only get one phone call?
What exactly happens after the handcuffs are on?
'Miranda' may not be there
First, officers do not always have to recite a subject's Miranda rights. Miranda rights (or the Miranda warning, as it is sometimes called) were created in 1966 as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona. It is intended to protect a defendant's Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer self-incriminating questions.
To read a suspect their Miranda rights, they must first be in custody, and an officer must plan on using whatever they say against them in court, according to Lt. Karl Odenthal, a spokesman for Aiken Public Safety.
Odenthal used a shoplifting as an example: If someone is detained for shoplifting, and a store employee saw the incident happen and gave officers their statement, there is enough to charge the suspect.
"I don't ever have to read them Miranda rights; I just take them through the process," Odenthal said. "What I'll do is go ahead and read them their Miranda rights and then say, 'Hey, what happened,' just so I have it. Now, anything they say I can use in the case against them. If somebody says, 'Yeah, I took it. I was trying to get something for my baby,' I'll say, 'They admitted it and this is why they took it.' I can testify to what they told me."
Sometimes, what a suspect said can still be used even if the Miranda warning wasn't read, Odenthal said. He recalled a man arrested on unrelated warrants who also was in possession of marijuana. The suspect heard Odenthal and the other officer discussing the contraband, and the suspect asked, "What did it look like?"
Odenthal said he described the substance to the man, who responded, "Yeah, I bought that for five bucks."
"Even though I didn't use Miranda, I wasn't talking to him," Odenthal said. "He just spontaneously uttered something incriminating."
It's often a misconception that officers have to read every suspect the Miranda warning.
"People think, 'Hey, you didn't read me my rights,'" Odenthal said. "We don't have to. If you're not in custody and I'm not using it against you, are basically the guidelines ... You can't go wrong giving them Miranda.
You're less likely to get things thrown out."
Spread 'em
After being handcuffed, officers will then pat a person down and search them before placing them into the back of the patrol car.
Odenthal said officers search the backs of their police vehicles at the beginning of a shift, and he searches his each time he places a suspect in the seat.
"Anything that's in there, I know they brought it in," he said. "If I find a crack pipe in there, I know it wasn't in there when I put them in, and then I can charge them with it."
While on the scene, officers fill out a booking sheet that includes the subject's personal information, their offenses and the details of the charges, according to Odenthal. That sheet is taken with the subject and the officer to the detention center. It's important for a person to be honest when providing personal information to officers, as giving them false information could result in further charges.
Also, people should not resist or argue with officers, as this too can result in further charges.
"This is not the time to argue your case," Odenthal said. "There's a time and a place for everything – you're going to have your day in court. It doesn't mean you're guilty of a charge just because you're arrested. That just means probable cause exists to take you to court on it."
On the way to Public Safety headquarters or the detention center, the officer will provide dispatch with the subject's name and birth date information to obtain a criminal history.
"It searches everything," Odenthal said, adding that it includes other counties and states. "If they've been arrested – whether it's a conviction or not – it'll be on there."
An officer will decide whether to send the subject home with a ticket and a court appearance date, or take them to the Doris C. Gravat Detention Center.
Aiken Public Safety has a booking room that was formerly used more frequently; however, recent changes resulted in much of the booking process taking place at the detention center, according to Odenthal.
"There are some special circumstances where we book somebody and then release them, and then they come in on their court date," he said. "We arrest somebody and she has absolutely no family here, and she has a 5-year-old coming home on the school bus. She's not a flight risk; you still have to go with this charge and we still have to do our thing, but we'll release you and you'll have your court date you have to appear on."
Now, the booking room at Public Safety is typically used for such cases, or juvenile bookings. Aiken Public Safety and the detention center both have a new computerized system of taking fingerprints that takes pictures of the person's prints, as opposed to the former method of pressing each finger to an ink pad and then onto the paper. Odenthal said three copies of fingerprints are required, so the officer and suspect would have to ink and press each finger three times.
"As we were doing that, they were transporting people to the jail and then they'd roll three sets of prints at the jail," Odenthal said. "We said, 'We're doing the same thing. It's keeping our guys off the road for another half hour. They've got a similar system to us – can you print us out some cards?'"
The booking process is longer for DUI, which requires an officer to give a suspect a Breathalyzer and a 20-minute observation period at headquarters before booking, Odenthal said. After booking a suspect and taking them to jail, the officer then has to pull video and complete an incident report.
There is also the initial 20 to 30 minutes spent conducting field sobriety testing on the roadside.
"It could take an oficer off the road for two or two-and-a-half hours, the way it used to be," Odenthal said.
The newer process takes 30 to 40 minutes off the time required for booking.
Sometimes, a police interview at the station may be necessary; for example, after an armed robbery.
"You have one of the suspects and know there's at least another one; you would give them their Miranda warning prior to talking to them," Odenthal said, adding that such interviews are more formal and are tape recorded. The suspect must also sign a paper waving their Miranda rights and indicating they are talking with police on their own free will.
Typically, a person's "one phone call" is not limited to one, and any phone calls are normally made at the jail, according to Odenthal.
"They're generally in a holding area, so I don't think their calls are limited to just one," he said. "As long as they're sitting there and no one's on the phone, I think they allow you to make another call."

Sources tell ESPN and The Associated Press that Tim Pernetti is out as the Rutgers athletic director days after a video surfaced showing fired basketball coach Mike Rice physically and verbally abusing players.
A news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Friday.
Rice was fired Wednesday after ESPN broadcast the video -- which the network said shows excerpts of practice sessions shot between 2010 and 2012-- in which the coach berated, shoved and threw basketballs at players.
"You f------ fairy ... you're a f------ f----t," Rice appears to say during one session depicted on the video.
On Thursday, the university told CNN men's assistant basketball coach Jimmy Martelli resigned the same day his boss was fired.
Rutgers gave no reason for Martelli's resignation.
Rice had just ended his third year as the Scarlet Knights' coach with a record of 44-51, and was under contract through the 2014-2015 season. He came to Rutgers from Robert Morris University, where he had a 73-31 record, taking the team to the NCAA basketball tournament twice.
His 2012 salary was $655,470.55, including $300,000 in base pay, according to News 12 New Jersey, which cited public records.

Frazier NL's outstanding rookie
Reds infielder Todd Frazier on Monday earned a MLB Players Choice Award from his peers as he was named the National League's outstanding rookie winner. Frazier beat out OF Bryce Harper of the Nationals and LHP Wade Miley from the D-backs.
The award was announced on MLB Network at their New Jersey studio and Frazier, a NJ native, was able to accept in person.
The Players Choice Awards have been around since 1992. Balloting is done entirely by the players and were turned in around mid-September.
In 128 games during his first full season in the Majors, the 26-year-old Frazier batted .273 with 19 home runs and 67 RBIs and was among the leaders in several categories among National League rookies.
The NL Rookie of the Year voting by the BBWAA is on Monday.
More soon…
UPDATE: Frazier discussed winning the award, and about Hurricane Sandy. The story is posted on MLB.com and can be read by clicking here.

Is it the writers, managers, or both who vote for the ROY? I should know this, but I don't!
"WE" MAY HAVE GOT SHUT OUT ON GOLDEN GLOVES BUT THIS IS NOT TOO SHABBY! (I STILL THINK THE 2nd BASE GOLD GLOVE AWARD WAS A "PITY" THE CUBS AWARD, IF YOU HAD TO CHOSE BETWEEN HIM AND PHILLIPS, PHILLIPS SHOULD BE A "NO BRAINER!)
I'm really happy for Frazier, and I'm glad they were paying attention to what he did when Votto was out. I love his patience at the plate and think he's going to continue to get better. And he did it humbly Mr. Harper.
its hard for harper to be humble when his face has been plastered everywhere since he was in high school, the kids super young let him preform on the field but we should give him a break he still is transforming into a man himself! its hard to figure out what is real when ur baseballs greatest thing since sliced bread at 18! if harper was a red, the way he plays the game, we would be in love with this guy!
great job frazier! i hope this guy plays with the same fire next year when the spot is his to loose! although i think bryce harper is more of a star i the making i think frazier could be a great cinsistant player for the reds for years to come, and cincy loves their hustlin good charector guys hes kinda like casey! i wonder who will take a leadership role for cincy next year with rolen being gone? votto talks with numbers but to me he kinda seems like he doesnt want a leadership role! maybe a leadership role is overarated and thats why teams like ours gel together.
Can't disagree with your comments on Harper, Jamie. Guess my comment was more of a compliment to Frazier and how he carries himself rather than an indictment on Harper.
I think the Reds have a leadership by committee kind of thing going on with guys like Votto, Phillips, Hanigan, and I think even Bruce should start to fulfill the role somewhat. He's been around long enough and produced long enough to step up. And who knows – they may find another relic on the shelf they can blow the dust off of and put out there to be the clubhouse guy. I personally like our youth movement and think we already have a good structure in place without bringing in another vet.
i agree on the youth movement but i am worried about the teams playoff performance and vets really help in that area. i think the reds most concerning problem is consistancy. for awhile now we've had great young talent and great potential but everything about us is streak based! we basically have a rookie in cozart at ss and frazier unproven over time, no left feilder as of now with ludwick having one or two great months other then that not too impressive, no cf as of yet stubbs was another super streaky player, and jay bruce who goes into super slump streak moments also. so that leaves joey and phillips who aint as bad as the others, but then again they take up payroll so they better produce cause they get superstar pay for that! then theirs hanigan who doesnt need to produce offensively to play because of his game calling abilitys. so after all that theirs alot of offensive holes almost at every position which worries me. true were decent on offense standings but its was based on streaks of individual players, reds need atleast one more consistant bat that plays without super high and super lows! wow sorry that was a spew! maybe all mlb teams have players that streak but to me cincy has a huge issue with that. wonder if mark sheldon still reads posts in the offseason id love to get his opinion on whether its just me thinkin that the reds are worse then most others?

Commission will enslave us
You remember the fable of "The Scorpion and the Frog?" The scorpion needed to cross the river and asked the frog if he would carry him across on back. The frog answered: "No, you would sting me and I would die." The scorpion said, "I promise you I won't."
Sure enough, the frog finally relented. The scorpion jumped on the frog's back. Just before the frog reached the other side, the scorpion stung the frog and jumped on the bank. As the frog was dying, he asked, "But you promised?" The scorpion replied, "You knew that I was a scorpion and that's my nature."
My friends, this applies to our politicians. Regardless, who won the presidential race, both parties are controlled by the Trilateral Commission. Member of the TC have controlled our executive branch as for back as l976 under the Carter Administration. The TC was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brezinske. Its purpose was to bring about a one-world government. Today, it consists of about 300 members from North America, Europe and Japan.
We can expect more of the same: wars, debt and the transfer of our sovereignty to the United Nations. We can look for further suppression of Christianity, elimination of the middle class, the destruction of dollar through inflation.
No one likes to be the bearer of bad news, but if we do not get informed and involved we, will soon be enslaved.

News Release
For Release: March 16, 2009
Penrose Trainer Gets BLM Wild Mustang for Norco Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge
Michelle Myers, a horse trainer from Penrose, received mustang no. 06182124, a mare from the Nevada Wild Horse Range, from the Bureau of Land Management in mid-February as the first step in the Norco Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge.
Myers is among 33 specially selected horse trainers who have 90 days to gentle and train their assigned mustangs for the competition. Trainers from California, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona are participating in this event.
Trainers will compete for a part of the $10,000 purse at the Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge at "Horsetown USA," Norco, Calif., on May 15-17. Judges will evaluate each horse and trainer on body condition, groundwork, and how the horse maneuvers through an obstacle "horse course," which simulates trail and recreational riding situations. In addition, the trainers will be competing on actual trails in and around the town. The public will be invited to adopt one of the Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge animals on Sunday May 17.
The Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge is a spin-off of the highly successful Extreme Mustang Makeover. The Mustang Heritage Foundation in partnership with BLM created the events to highlight the value of American mustangs and showcase the beauty, versatility, and trainability of these living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the American West.
Wild horses and burros are managed in California in accordance with the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. This act gave the Bureau of Land Management the responsibility to protect wild horses and burros while ensuring their populations are managed to maintain or restore a thriving ecological balance.
For more information, visit wildhorseandburro.blm.gov or call 866-4MUSTANGS.
Editor and News Director Note: Members of the media are invited to follow the progress of the training with the permission of the individual trainers. BLM Public Affairs Officer Jeff Fontana can provide contact information.
