From public support for the arts to cultural policy
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1541-1338.2004.00089.x
- PubMed: 458
Although public funding for the arts had been an element of budget and appropriations business at both the federal and state levels for over a quarter century, the idea that policy justifies and directs these resource allocations has been slow to emerge. This article provides a historiographical discussion of how the issue was framed and of the resistance to the term "cultural policy" through reference to contextual, political, and epistemic factors. It then uses four presidential reports ranging from 1953 to 1997 to track the evolution of political language concerning the policy definition of the arts and culture, the roles and responsibilities of the federal government regarding these, and the emergence of a range of policy issues beyond public funding. © 2004 by The Policy Studies Association.

Thanks for helping!
Simply great place to eat a sandwich and a lot more. Great at lunch time, for a snack in the afternoon or for a late dinner. The place stays open until very late in the night. Obviously everything served keeps the Italian twist!
Great truly Italian comfort food in an outstanding seaside resort town. The venue is charming, service is friendly, and the food was exceptionally good. Grab a quick bite or just sit and enjoy the ambience. I highly recommend this place. Very reasonable prices.
don't miss it! the staff is really friendly! go and try anything! What the staff suggested me was just excellent!
After walking Lido di Ostia looking into shops and markets we stopped at Al Diciassette to see what they were about. There was a friendly young man behind the counter who spoke some english. He answered all our questions about the menu. We ordered 2 of their vegetarian sandwiches. Wow so good! We stayed a while and he told us...
Best sandwiches in Rome, real test of italian goodness,
The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable,
Not to talk about the handmade tiramisù a real treasure.

The 2N3904 is a common NPN bipolar junction transistor used for general purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications. The type was registered by Motorola Semiconductor in the mid-sixties, together with the complementary PNP type 2N3906, and represented a significant performance/cost improvement, with the plastic TO-92 case replacing metal cans. It is designed for low current and power, medium voltage, and can operate at moderately high speeds. This transistor is low cost, widely available and sufficiently robust to be of use by experimenters and electronics hobbyists.[1] When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three wires emerging from the bottom are connected to, from left to right, the emitter, the base and the collector.[2] Some manufacturers mark "EBC" on the molded part, but all are required to have those connections for a part which is a "2N3904".[3]
It is a 200 mA, 40 volt, 625 milliwatt transistor with a transition frequency of 300 MHz,[4] with a minimum beta or current gain of 100 at a collector current of 10 mA. It is used in a variety of analog amplification and switching applications.
Electrically similar devices, such as the MMBT3904, are available in a variety of small through-hole and surface mount packages including TO-92, SOT-23, and SOT-223, with package-dependent thermal ratings from 625 milliwatts to 1 watt.
A 2N3906 is a complementary (PNP) transistor for the 2N3904. The 2N2222 is an NPN transistor that can safely switch three times as much current as the 2N3904 but has otherwise similar characteristics.[5] Nevertheless, in many applications such as variable frequency oscillators where lower currents are used to minimize thermal heating and consequent thermal drift of the fundamental frequency, the greater current capacity of the 2N2222 gives it no advantage. Whereas the 2N2222 is optimized to reach its highest gain at currents of around 150 mA, the 2N3904 is optimized for currents of around 10 mA.
The 2N3904 is used very frequently in hobby electronics projects including home-made ham radios, code practice oscillators and as an interfacing device for micro-controllers.

I have created our go-to holiday treats! And they are guaranteed to be yours too! They are similar to the Rice Krispie treats you know and love, but slightly healthier and with a chocolate peppermint flavor to up the ante.
My husband loves peppermint. He eats candy canes like they are, well, candy. And his most favorite Christmastime treat is Peppermint Ice Cream.
I do not share his love for peppermint, however, I know its a staple flavor around the holidays so I wanted to create a recipe for the blog that I knew would be a big hit with others…and hubby, of course.
I do occasionally enjoy a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha during the holiday season. It's not overly minty and when you throw in some chocolate, it's actually quite delicious. It's probably not healthy, but if you request it made with soy milk, it is vegan. (FYI: Not all the flavored syrups at Starbucks are vegan…some have dairy milk in them. Peppermint is good to go though.)
These Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Bars actually remind me of the flavors of that wonderful peppermint mocha. I started out wanting to make a simple "rice krispie" treat with a bit of peppermint flavor and they turned out to be so much more!
The first batch of chocolate I made was a recipe fail. It was way too thin. I had hope that it would set up in the fridge though, so I poured it on and waited. It didn't set up…it seeped through the layers of cereal instead. And, guess, what? These peppermint bars turned into these beautiful marbled treats. I whipped up another batch of chocolate that did thicken and poured that on top too. Double the chocolate…double the deliciousness!
You have to try these chocolately minty crunchy bars. I can't stop eating them…and I don't like peppermint, remember? They are soooo good!
Yields 8
Crunchy cereal bars with lots of chocolate and a subtle peppermint flavor. They taste like your favorite peppermint mocha.
- 4 cups brown rice cereal (I used Erewhon)
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- 1/4 cup organic powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup cashew butter
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- In a pot on stovetop, combine 1/2 cup cashew butter, brown rice syrup, vanilla extract, 1 tsp peppermint extract and powdered sugar. Whisk over medium-low heat until smooth.
- Pour cashew butter/brown rice syrup mixture over the cereal in a large bowl and mix well so that every bit of cereal is covered.
- Spread out in an 8x8 baking pan lined with parchment (make the parchment long enough so you have "handles" to lift out the whole square of bars once they are done).
- For the Chocolate Sauce: Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, coconut oil and 1/3 cup cashew butter in a pan on the stove over medium-low heat. (I used the same pan that I used for the cashew butter/brown rice syrup and I didn't even rinse it out!). Whisk until smooth. Pour the chocolate sauce over the entire top of the cereal bars.
- Put pan in fridge for 30 minutes to set.
- For the Chocolate Peppermint Ganache Topping: Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, almond milk and 1 tsp peppermint extract in a pot on the stove (again, same pot is fine..no need to wash in between).Whisk until smooth. This should be a much thicker chocolate than the sauce you already poured on the bars).
- Take cereal bars out of fridge and pour the ganache on top, spreading it out evenly over the bars.
- Put back in fridge for at least another 30 minutes until ganache topping is set.
Crush some candy canes and sprinkle them on top for a pretty holiday presentation.

Ahhh yes the ol nitrogen cycle! I agree with all the posts on this topic of whether or not your tank has cycled and how to go ahead and start the growth of the beneficial bacteria. I like the idea of using the established filter media to jump start the tank with already established bacteria. Make sure you have some source of ammonia to keep the cycle going and go out and get a nice test kit for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. You pretty much have to for this cycle cuz it's one of those things where we are dealing with microscopic bacteria. Kinda tough to see with our eye balls what's goin on in there Here is a video I did on the nitrogen cycle if you would like to view it, but it sounds like you got this tank rolling very nicely! Best of Luck!

Food and nutrition insecurity (F&NI) are inextricably linked to the HIV epidemic, and their relationship is bidirec-tional. Although we have some understanding of the mechanisms by which HIV acquisition and disease pro-gression lead to F&NI, the mechanisms by which F&NI increase the likelihood of HIV acquisition and disease progression have only recently begun to be investigated. Strikingly, the mechanisms by which F&NI affect the health of HIV+ pregnant women and their infants have not been investigated to date. However, preliminary data suggest that F&NI reduce antiretroviral adherence, gestational weight gain, and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, all of which have consequences for the health of the mother and child, including vertical trans-mission. Therefore, the scientific objectie of this K01 application is to elucidate the mechanisms by which F&NI have deleterious effects on the health of HIV+ mothers and their infants. My central hypothesis is that F&NI are detrimental to the health of HIV+ pregnant women and their infants via nutritional, disease, and psy-chosocial pathways. This hypothesis will be tested with 3 specific aims: (1) to describe and assess F&NI and associated modifiable determinants among HIV+ pregnant and lactating women in Kenya, (2) to characterize the magnitude and pathways by which F&NI impact maternal and infant health among a cohort of HIV+ preg-nant women in Kenya, (3) develop a plan for a multi-level intervention to reduce F&NI to improve health of HIV+ mothers and their children. The qualitative research (for Aims 1 and 3) and cohort study (for Aim 2) will leverage resources at Family AIDS Care and Education Services, an HIV care and treatment program in Nyanza province, Kenya, the primary study site for several of my K01 mentors. My training in medical anthro- pology and international nutrition will serve me well, but I need additional mentorship and training in 1) as- sessment of F&NI among mothers and infants, 2) statistical analysis of complex longitudinal data sets 3) the management of HIV and HIV-associated diseases in low-resource settings, 4) assessment of psychosocial well-being and childhood development, and 5) the design, implementation, and evaluation of multi-level inter- ventions. This training will further my long-term career goal of becoming an independent investigator with qualitative and quantitative expertise in the design and implementation of efficacious, culturally acceptable in- terventions that reduce morbidity and mortality of mothers and young children. The training and research are significant because F&NI is highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, HIV+ pregnant women are disproportion- ately affected by it, and there are a number of potentially serious health consequences for women and their infants. A better understanding of how F&NI is deleterious will provide knowledge to design more effective in- terventions to improve the health of HIV+ mothers and their HIV-exposed infants. This innovative research will generate novel data to test theoretically driven hypotheses about the pathways by which F&NI may impact the health of HIV-infected mothers and their infants.
HIV-infected pregnant women and their HIV-exposed infants are at high risk for food and nutrition insecurity, but strikingly, the extent and mechanisms by which food and nutrition insecurity affect their physical and mental well-being have not been investigated. The proposed research and training will shed light on the nutritional, disease, and psychosocial pathways by which food and nutrition insecurity harm HIV-infected women and their infants. This information will be used to develop interventions that promote physical and mental health among HIV-infected mothers and their HIV-exposed infants and prevent new HIV infections by decreasing behaviors associated with increased risk of vertical transmission (e.g. mixed breastfeeding and poor antiretroviral adher- ence).

Welcome To HeartHeadHealing
I believe that our actions or decisions are often made with our Heads (conscious minds) but our Hearts (subconscious minds) are not always in agreement… which often leads to conflict, self sabotage and illness.
We often make decisions with our Heads
I offer one-on-one, private consultations in a supportive and safe environment, to assist you to identify what is holding you back so that you can move forward.
True Healing
takes place after acceptance and forgiveness is achieved.
If you are wanting to quit smoking, give up excess weight, conquer your fear of flying, build your self confidence, speak in public, lift your depression, Hypnosis is a highly effective tool to assist you to achieve the LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE!
We often make decisions with our Heads but our Hearts are not always in agreement
Stop Smoking Programme
Quitting for good is easy when you know how!
A proven, effective and easily achievable programme consisting of 2 x highly individualized 1.5 to 2 hour confidential consultations in a safe and secure environment.
Weight Management
Do you find that you start a new diet with huge enthusiasm only to find that you go back to your old eating patterns every time?
Exam Ease and Memory Recall
If you are finding the level of stress challenging, if you are struggling to settle down and study or if you are finding it difficult to recall what you have studied, consider a few sessions of focused hypnosis. You have everything to gain!
Past Life Regression
Past Life Regression
Personalized, highly confidential consultations for:
Academic / athletic performance
With hypnosis, the subconscious mind is able to easily experience how it feels to achieve your goals ensuring that the conscious mind directs and supports you positively.
Hypnosis can reconnect you to that part of you that is not controlled by your addiction. By strengthening and building this vital part, you are empowered to create a more meaningful and satisfying life for yourself.
Hypnosis can assist you to connect and ultimately determine what your unique anxiety triggers are. With the help of your subconscious mind, an alternative reaction to these triggers may be established, levels of anxiety can be significantly reduced enabling you to enjoy a calmer and more fulfilling life.
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to those parts of you that strengthen and guide you so that you can experience inner support during your time of bereavement.
Bullying is unfortunately a very stressful and often scary reality for many learners. Hypnosis can assist you to reconnect to your inner strength enabling you to be better empowered in situations where you previously felt helpless.
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to what it is that is holding you back from being your confident self! With your own unique inner guidance, you can experience how it feels to be confident and self-assured enabling you to develop and build your own levels of confidence going forward. You will be given confidence enhancing tools to use whenever needed.
Living a lighter and more fulfilling life becomes achievable when events and / or behaviours that impact on your ability to feel positive thoughts and emotions are identified and dealt with in a gentle, supportive manner.
Eating Challenges
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to that part of you that needs food to experience comfort. When an understanding of this unwanted behavior is established and dealt with, you can once again develop a healthy relationship with food as well as feed your soul in a nurturing, loving manner.
Emotional Upsets
If emotional upsets are impacting on your ability to lead a satisfying life, then hypnosis can assist you to reconnect to that part of you that strengthens and guides you enabling you to navigate life's ups and downs more easily.
Fears & Phobias
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source of your fears or phobias so that with this new understanding, alternative reactions to triggers can be established and strengthened.
Guilt Feelings
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source of your guilt feelings, enabling you to make peace and to let go for once and for all, enabling you to lead a lighter, freer life.
Pain Management
Migraines, lower back ache, inflammatory conditions may be subconscious reactions to stress and repressed emotions. Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the origins of these events so that pain levels can be reduced and managed. You will also be given practical tools for you to use to manage your discomfort whenever needed.
Panic Attacks
Hypnosis can assist you to find an alternative, more productive response to stressors that usually activate your flight and fight response when it is not necessarily needed. Once an alternative response is well developed and strengthened, your "old" response can be weakened to the point that it no longer has the power to control you.
Past Life Regression
We subconsciously carry forward experiences, attitudes, and relationship dynamics from prior lives into our current lifetimes. This can be beneficial, but when upsetting experiences are left unresolved, relationships are left unhealed – attitudes and decisions may be carried forward from a past lifetime which could negatively influence our current experience. Past Life Regression using Hypnosis can assist you to explore and discover your own beliefs about the existence of past-life experiences, and help such experiences to create a more beneficial understanding within yourself.
Public Speaking
At some stage in our lives we will be called upon to speak in public. This can either be an enjoyable or highly fearful experience. Hypnosis can assist you to relax so that you may present your true self in a positive and productive manner. You will be given practical tools to assist you whenever needed.
Quitting Smoking
Your heart needs your love … not nicotine!
Quitting for good is easy when you know how!
A proven, effective and easily achievable Programme consisting of two highly individualized 1.5 hour confidential consultations in a safe and secure environment. You will be supported and guided throughout the Programme and you WILL leave your second consultation a NON Smoker! Your Programme includes a specialized "Quitting Smoking Reinforcement" sound recording for you to listen to whenever you wish.
What quitting could mean for you:
Improved – fertility | lung capacity | levels of oxygen in the body | energy levels | smell and taste | healthier loved ones (no more 2nd hand smoke) | less stress | longer life | whiter teeth | younger looking skin AND … NO MORE GUILT!
Learn how to focus your subconscious mind to achieve your goals and live the healthy life you deserve to live!
– "Hi Des, which is longer, 4 weeks or 1 month? That is today that I stopped smoking! Another celebration tonight! Feeling great, even now running on the treadmill and short marathons as from next month! Kind regards, Llewellyn. Lux u."
– "Quitting smoking has been a pretty weird transition for me, it's like I know I used to smoke but I don't really remember smoking? Odd or not…that's how it feels..? Life without smoking is good. Been on my bike up the mountain….been to gym….walked around the golf course in the last 2 weeks…got more energy..enjoying my different smells….loving the peace that Buddha and I have in my office ….so I guess all is good and long may it last… thank you for doing what you did!!!!!"
– "Morning Des – I am so happy, didn't once have an urge or craving to light up a cigarette. Sat with ppl that were smoking and would normally give into lighting up. So I'm happy!
Thanks again for the help and support and for accommodating me!!! I can only speak well of this treatment and your fantastic treatment plan!!!"
Relationship Challenges
Effective relationships and our ability to communicate in a confident, healthy manner are vital elements needed to lead a happy, fulfilling life. Hypnosis can assist you to identify what it is in your relationship with yourself that is holding you back from enjoying meaningful relationships with your family, friends, colleagues, school friends and loved ones.
We can never relax enough! Hypnosis can assist you to relax deeply and completely. You will leave with tools to assist you to reconnect to a more relaxed you whenever needed.
School and Study Challenges
There is a lot of pressure placed on young people to excel in school and particularly in their matric exams. If you are finding the level of stress challenging, if you are struggling to settle down and study or if you are finding it difficult to recall what you have studied, consider a few consultations of focused hypnosis. You have everything to gain!
Self Injury
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to that part of you that needs to feel release from inner pain. Once communication and understanding is established, alternative healthier methods of pain relief can be established and developed.
Self Motivation
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to that part of you that needs encouragement and support in order to achieve your goals. Established and experiencing a feeling desired outcome as opposed to a thinking desired outcome is a much more powerful motivator!
Sexuality Challenges
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to your desired sexual self, providing you with clarity and direction enabling you to achieve the life you wish to live.
Sleeping Challenges
Hypnosis can assist you to connect to what it is that is preventing you from enjoying a good night's sleep. With inner guidance and support you may once again experience how it feels to wake up refreshed and energized, ready for the day!
Unresolved Childhood Issues
Hypnosis can assist you to reconnect to unresolved issues which originate in your childhood and affect your life as an adult. A more fulfilled life may be obtainable once understanding and forgiveness is achieved.
Unwanted Habits
We all have habits that hold us back in some way. For example procrastination is something that we may experience sometime in our lives. If your unwanted habits are impacting on your ability to lead the life you deserve, then hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source enabling you to establish an alternative, more productive and positive pattern of achievement.
Weight Management
Do you find that you start a new diet with huge enthusiasm only to find that you go back to your old eating patterns every time? It could be that you are making the decision to go on a diet with your Head (conscious mind) but your Heart (subconscious mind) has its own reasons for not agreeing with your decision. A successful, sustainable eating and lifestyle plan is dependent on full understanding and support on a conscious and subconscious level. It is easier than you think – read below a satisfied clients account of her own experience …
– "I have struggled with my weight for most of my life, but especially in the latter years. After much deliberation, I decided to try a dietician in 2010, but subconsciously I was scared of failure even though I badly wanted to shed the weight. I lost 17 kg over a period of year, but it was like a yo yo, the weight going up and down all the time. Eventually I gained all my weight plus more.
In October 2012 I prepared myself for hypnotherapy with Des and there was a bit of apprehension, but also enthusiasm. Des was reassuring right from the start and had a calming effect on me. After two sessions, I felt a complete shift in the processing of my thoughts in terms of healthy eating. I ventured to a dietician and the gym in such a short time, with a positive attitude and no feeling of failure at all. I have never felt this way before and it feels AWESOME! Thank you Des for allowing me to believe in myself again and I will enjoy this journey for the rest of my life!"
About Me
I have been a practicing Hypnosis Practitioner since 2010. My interest in Hypnosis started when I experienced what it felt like to get divorced and discovered that I was drug sensitive and unable to tolerate anti depressants. Desperate and depressed, I investigated alternative therapies and went to see a Hypnosis Practitioner. I'm happy to say I have never looked back!
I believe that our actions or decisions are often made with our heads (conscious minds) but our hearts (subconscious minds) are not always in agreement which often leads to conflict, self sabotage and illness. I am constantly amazed at how Hypnosis addresses these conflicts in a totally client centered and highly effective manner so that we can be free to lead normal, loving and happy lives.
I particularly enjoy working with clients who struggle with stopping smoking and weight management, as I believe being able to conquer what controls you, is key to your own healing. I also consult clients with other challenges such as early childhood trauma, depression, low self esteem, fears, phobias and insomnia.
Feel free to call or email me for more info.
I look forward to partnering you on your healing journey!

Hi Des, which is longer, 4 weeks or 1 month? That is today that I stopped smoking! Another celebration tonight! Feeling great, even now running on the treadmill and short marathons as from next month! Kind regards, Llewellyn. Lux u.
Des, you are one of the most important people in my life. You broke a vice of 30 years and every day I am indebted to you for that.

We cannot express the depth of our gratitude to be blessed to stay at this amazing lakefront cabin. A dream some true, from walking right down the porch to the lake, the fishing, the trails, rowboat, habitat,etc. There could never be enough space here to actually provide all the accolades this amazing rental deserves. The property owners, Karen and Serge are amazing, warm, intelligent and giving hosts. We will truly return there,

My boyfriend and I got away for a long weekend right before the Christmas Holiday and had a great time. The cabin was all decorated with lights and Christmas decorations outside it gave it a magical feel which we loved. Cabin is clean, cozy, and just what we needed for some alone time. We stayed in and cooked, sat by the fire and watched movies, and even went for a hike around the property on one of the unusually warmer days. We had such a great experience we are looking forward to a warmer season visit. The owners are so nice and very thurogh in making sure their guests have a great time when they stay. Being we were there in the winter, they maintain the property very well and never once were we cold or put out in anyway. Thanks again and we'll be back.

This cabin left nothing that one could want or wish for. Picturesque, and romantic. The well equipped kitchen was small, but efficient. We had our choice of gas or charcoal grills, We dined outside, slept in the hammock, and fished in the lake. The solitude provided a respite from the demands of daily life. We can't wait to go again!

We stayed here following our wedding. It was the perfect place to stay. The cabin is so cute and cozy. The property is exactly what you need for a romantic stay. We were able to just unwind and take tithe quiet comfort of being totally alone. No houses in sight. Wonderful walking trails through the woods and rowing in the little boat around the lake. The owner Karen is the nicest lady and happens to be an amazing artist who have the place surrounded by wonderful art. This is a place you will want to come back to again and again. We will for use be back for our anniversary next year! Thanks Karen

Best Weekend Ever!
November 17, 2011
My husband and I stayed at the cabin this past weekend. Between the fireplace, the cozy welcome from the owner, the great trails to hike and the adorable small towns surrounding the cabin, we really never wanted to leave. If you do go, be sure to bring some groceries or go grocery shopping at the A&P. Cooking out there on the outside charcoal or propane pit is amazing, but making smores with my new husband next to the fireplace, that was magical. If you have the time, lay out in the hammock like we did. Despite the cold winds, it was too serene and wonderful to pass up, so we bundled up and layed out under the autumn sky to read together. Beautiful, beautiful place!
-We loved the beauty, peacefulness and serenity of this comfortable abode...learn the strength and feel of the wind by the tones of the wind chimes....we can only leave by somehow plotting our return in the future.....A peaceful place that provided the ultimate escape from reality for us.... this place is not easy to leave but it is reassuring the know that it exists and that other lovers will have an opportunity to experience some of what we enjoyed...we were looking for peace, quiet and a place to collect our souls and clear our minds and we sure found all of that here.

text: PS3 Owners Rock More HD Systems, Surround Sound Than Any Other Consolematt buchanan12/21/07 3:59pmFiled to: State Of The Union360GadgetsHdHDTVMicrosoftNintendoNintendo WiiPS3Playstation 3SonyWiiXboxHome EntertainmentXbox 360Verizonbestmodo25EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Nielsen's survey of the state of console gamer HD setups reveals nothing too shocking, though I suspect the numbers are slightly inflated since participants were from the top 20 U.S. markets, over 18 and played at least one hour a week, skewing it toward more affluent, older and less casual gamers. Advertisement The quick conclusions, followed by a more in-depth breakdown w/ fun charts below: A huge proportion of gamers have gone HD, with PS3 owners leading in higher-end setups—71 percent gaze at some sort of HDTV, and 54 percent are enveloped by surround sound, with the 360, and surprisingly, the Wii not too far behind on either front. That the 360 barely trails PS3 HD rates with 66 percent isn't mind-blowing—it and the PS3 are geared toward HD and higher end gamers, and have bigger pricetags to match (so if you can afford 'em it's more likely you can afford HD). Plus, both support an HD disc format, so it's no wonder they blow the Wii out of the water in movie watching (which managed 14 percent despite not officially supporting DVD playback). But a certifiably surprising 65 percent of Wii owners in this survey have HD setups, just 1 percent fewer than the 360. You see the same thing with surround sound—48 percent of 360 owners have surround, and 43 percent of Wii owners. There is a bit more of a stratification, since the PS3 leads hard in 7.1 adoption, with the Wii trailing most visibly here and shooting way ahead in stock TV speaker usage. One big blind spot in the study is that (or at least in this report of it) is console cross-ownership. My feeling is that owners of multiple consoles are much more likely to have HD setups w/ surround sound since they've likely got more coin and are more serious about their home theater setup, as well as consumer electronics generally. Like, I would bet that a big chunk of the Wii HD adopters also own a 360 or PS3, though it's clear gamers all around want to see prettier pictures and hear bigger booms.

MMA Fighting's Dave Meltzer reports that UFC 194 featuring Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm drew over 1 million PPV buys.
According to Melzer's report, the PPV last month drew between 1 million and 1.1 million PPV buys. Not only did UFC 193 draw over 50,000 fans, it also surpassed the vaunted 1 million PPV buy barrier making it one of the most successful UFC events ever in terms of business revenue for the company.

UFC 190: Rousey v. Correia – 900,000
UFC 193: Rousey v. Holm – ~1 – 1.1 million
Payout Perspective:
The news makes 2015 the biggest PPV for the company ever. Lorenzo Fertitta stated that December's UFC 194 would be the third-biggest in UFC and based on MMA Fighting, it could be second to only UFC 100. For Rousey, it makes it the second straight PPV where she has drawn 900,000 PPV buys or better. Obviously, with her drawing power, the UFC hopes she doesn't take too much time off between movies as they would want her back in the Octagon in 2016.
Canelo-Cotto draws 900K PPV buys per HBO
December 3, 2015
HBO reports (via ESPN) that the Canelo Alvarez-Miguel Cotto fight on November 21st in Vegas drew 900,000 PPV buys and about $58 million in domestic PPVs.
The 900,000 PPV buys is promising for HBO as no fight not featuring Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao or Oscar De La Hoya have scored 900,000 buys since 2002 when Lennox Lewis faced Mike Tyson.
The ethnic pride as well as the starworthy fighters were contributing factors for the overwhelming success of the event.
Canelo-Cotto caps off a successful year of boxing PPVs. Obviously, Mayweather-Pacquiao in May was the king of PPV this (and any other) year with 4.6 million PPV buys.
Payout Perspective:
The PPV ratings are a surprise in my opinion. While there are strong fan bases for both fighters, 900,000 PPV buys is a big domestic number. The buy rate also provides evidence that Canelo Alvarez is the future of boxing PPV. To a lesser extent Cotto is a big-time draw, but with the Mexican backing and only 25 years old, Alvarez looks to be the fighter to take up the torch for Mayweather and Pacquiao.
UFC 193 estimated at over 1M PPV buys, second best ever per Fertitta
November 20, 2015
UFC 193 is on track to be the second-largest PPV in company history according to Lorenzo Fertitta. In speaking with Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports Fertitta indicated that it was currently tracking third but would finish behind only UFC 100.
UFC 100 drew 1.6 million viewers in July 2009. Fertitta confirmed that UFC 193 sold in "excess of one million on pay-per-view." It appears that early PPV estimates have it around 1M-1.2M buys per Dave Meltzer.
UFC 189 was originally reported at hitting 1 million PPV buys but that estimate was scaled back to 825,000. The last time that a UFC PPV hit 1 million PPV buys was UFC 168 which featured Weidman-Silva II and Tate-Rousey II (via MMA Payout Blue Book).
Ronda Rousey's last PPV fight at UFC 190 drew 900,000 viewers.
Notably, UFC 193 Google related searches hit 9 million and was the most search topic on Saturday and Sunday. It should be noted that the search experienced a slight dip on Friday but obviously surged ahead for Saturday.
In comparison, Mayweather-Pacquiao hit about 12 million google searches the weekend of their fight this past May.
Also to consider, UFC 193 Prelims on FS1 drew 1,394,000 viewers. It was the most-watched Prelim event on FS1 with Ronda Rousey on the PPV main event.
Payout Perspective:
It's clear that if these indicators are correct, UFC will have its best PPV year to date with UFC 194 probably adding to a huge year of PPV business for the company. It shows the attraction of Ronda Rousey. One should expect that a rematch will garner big PPV numbers again. The question will be whether Holly Holm can maintain the PPV momentum of Rousey.
S&P upgrades business outlook for Zuffa
November 19, 2015
MMA Junkie reports that Zuffa's Standard and Poor's business outlook has been elevated from "negative" to "stable" based on its success in its Pay Per View business in 2015. The company's corporate credit rating remains the same at BB negative which is below investment grade.
Standard & Poor's Financial Services publishes financial research and analysis on stocks and bonds as well as being one of the Big Three credit-rating agencies. It issues credit ratings for the debt of public and private companies. S&P serves as a resource to investors for a key measure of its success.
In October 2014, S&P downgraded Zuffa, LLC from BB to BB-as a result of "greater EBITDA volatility." It had maintained a "BB rating" since December 2010. It was previously downgraded in November 2007 from BB to BB-. A couple weeks later, it downgraded the business outlook from "stable" to "negative."
In October 2014, it identified Zuffa as having $535 million in credit with $60 million in "senior secured revolving credit facility due in 2018 and a $475 million senior secured term loan due 2020" per that S&P report.
Payout Perspective:
Monday's news is a good sign that the company is recovering from its dip in 2014. While a lot of the numbers are kept under wraps and we're forced to cobble together how much the company makes, the PPV buys have rebounded from the past couple years on the strength of the first three PPVs of 2015 as well as July's UFC 189 and Ronda Rousey's fights at UFC 190 and 193. Also, the international expansion and the assumed proliferation of UFC Fight Pass have provided additional revenue streams for the company. Obviously, you have to offset these gains with its expenses which include the new anti-doping policy implemented with the help of USADA and three big legal battles it is currently involved in (the UFC antitrust lawsuit in Nevada, the appeal of the November 2011 lawsuit against New York and the new lawsuit against the state of New York filed this past September seeking a preliminary injunction to hold an event in New York in April).
Also, on the same day that this news came out, Bloody Elbow unveiled its third installment of its deep dive into UFC finances.
UPDATED – UFC 193 search interest trending down after Friday
November 14, 2015
After a UFC weigh-in which featured a brief skirmish between main eventers Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm as well as a Rousey "promo" on Holm after, search interest for the fight has trended down.
UPDATED 4:31pm: As you can see from the graph, that keeps updating, searches are back up.
As you can see from the graph over the past 7 days, interest spiked on Friday afternoon but looks to have receded since then.
Via Google Trends as of Saturday morning:
Payout Perspective:
Obviously the unfortunate happenings in Paris probably detoured social media searches and interest. Will the trends mean that the great run on Rousey PPV success end tonight? Google trends is a scientifically unscientific way to predict PPV buy rates. While the graph appears to reflect a downturn in interest, this trend is likely an anomaly. One would think there's an uptick in searches as the day goes on today.
Report: UFC 192 draws 250,000 estimated PPV buys
November 1, 2015
UFC 192 drew a reported 250,000 PPV buys according to Dave Meltzer's latest Wrestling Observer newsletter. The event featured Daniel Cormier defending his UFC light heavyweight championship against Alexander Gustafsson.
The estimated 250,000 PPV buys is the second-lowest buy rate for 2015. The 250,000 estimated PPV buy rate is slightly better than the 205,000 PPV buys from last September's UFC 178 PPV. The rating is lower than the 375,000 for Cormier-Johnson this past May.
Payout Perspective:
The good news for the light heavyweight division is that Jon Jones is back and a forthcoming fight with Cormier should help with DC's PPV popularity. Still, the buy rate should be thought to be below expectations for a guy like Cormier. Two boxing events on HBO and Showtime and college football that same night may have been a detractor for those thinking of purchasing the event.
GGG PPV draws 150K estimated PPV buys
October 21, 2015
Early estimates of the Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux PPV this past Saturday drew approximately 150,000 buys. Sports Illustrated boxing writer Chris Mannix stated that the 150,000 estimated was "in the ballpark" of the estimated buys.
Fight Hype (@fighthype) reports #GolovkinLemieux generated 150K buys. I'm told final numbers aren't in, but that's in the ballpark.
— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) October 20, 2015
That's a good number. Not the spectacular number promoters were looking for (200K-plus), but a good one for GGG's pay per view debut.
— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) October 20, 2015
Pay per view is a rapidly declining market. Mayweather just did around 400K. Cotto-Martinez was around 250K. 150K is a solid debut.
— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) October 20, 2015
Despite the fact that the fight sold out Madison Square Garden with 20,568 in attendance, the fight did not sell as promoters had hoped. GGG's promoter indicated that 200,000 buys would make it a financial success. It appeared that promoters had modest expectations for GGG's debut as the top of the card on a PPV.
In comparison, Canelo Alvarez's first time headlining a PPV against Alfredo Angulo in March 2014 drew 350,000 PPV buys. A PPV featuring Timothy Bradley against Juan Manuel Marquez drew 375,000 PPV buys in October 2013. Last June, a clash between Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez drew 250,000 PPV buys.
Fighthype.com initially reported the 150,000 PPV buy rate.
Payout Perspective:
Was this a success or disappointment? GGG is the next logical fighter to step in to the PPV shoes for Manny Pacquiao as his popularity begins to wane. Roman Gonzalez, who many believe is one of the best (if not the best) pound for pound fighters was the co-main on the card. Thus, two of the top stars in boxing were featured on a PPV but just 150K purchased it. We'll see how the replay viewership does this Saturday as perhaps we're seeing boxing skeptics concerned about overpaying "once again" for a boxing PPV. In my opinion, the 150,000 is a little low, but once more fans get exposed to GGG (and Chocolatito), we'll see more casual boxing fans gravitating toward them and eventually the PPV numbers may increase.
Report: Mayweather-Berto draw 400-550K PPV buys
September 16, 2015
ESPN's Dan Rafael reports that the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto PPV drew between 500-600K PPV buys according to industry sources contacted by Rafael. It is the lowest PPV output by Mayweather under his contract with Showtime.
UPDATED: Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that his source says it did "roughly" 400K PPV buys. 145,000 buys come from DirecTV which is always one of the first to report its buys.
PPV industry source on #MayweatherBerto numbers tells me they're very poor relatively speaking. 'Being generous is might hit 550,000 buys.'
— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) September 16, 2015
The first disclaimer is that these are estimates from industry sources. Showtime's Steven Espinoza proclaimed that it would never reveal actual PPV numbers after Maidana I. Of course, Espinoza added the proviso that it would reveal the PPV numbers if it set a record. For instance, Mayweather-Pacquiao.
550,000 PPV buys is not bad….for a UFC PPV but when it comes to Floyd Mayweather, it is a disappointment. It's the last fight on his Showtime contract and we'll see if he will actual retire.
Payout Perspective:
With the start of college football season and five boxing events on various networks starting the Sunday prior to the PPV fight, one might see why the PPV buy rate was so low. Moreover, many casual fans were not impressed with Mayweather's last fight against Manny Pacquiao – a fight that cost many $100 to watch. The casual viewer probably did not want to spend another $75 to watch it again. With no real ethnic audience to draw upon and Mayweather's fighting style, the buy rate (if accurate) seems about right.
UFC 190 draws 900,000 PPV buys
August 27, 2015
Dave Meltzer writing for MMA Fighting reports that UFC 190 featuring Ronda Rousey and Beth Correia drew an estimated 900,000 PPV buys. The number would make it the third PPV event this year to draw 800,000 buys.
UFC 189 featuring Conor McGregor vs. Chad Mendes drew 1 million buys according to UFC.com. Other estimates have the July 11 PPV less than 1 million. Regardless, it's the second straight PPV that has done well based on just 1 fighter. UFC 189 it was all Conor McGregor and UFC 190 was all Ronda Rousey.
Perhaps supporting the contention that Ronda Rousey's star is brighter than ever is that there were no noteworthy fights on the UFC 190 main card. Despite the fact the show went over 3 hours, there was nothing great on the card besides Rousey. There were two TUF Brazil final fights and Shogun Rua-Little Nog. In comparison, UFC 189 did have another title fight between Rory MacDonald and Robbie Lawler to entice fans to buy the PPV.
UFC 190 joins 189 and 182 as top events that have drawn 800,000 PPV buys or more. No PPV event went over 600,000 in 2014. In 2013, only 2 events (UFC 158 and UFC 168) went over 800,000 PPV buys.
Ronda Rousey PPVs (via MMA Payout Bluebook)
UFC 157 – vs. Liz Carmouche: 450,000
UFC 168 – vs. Miesha Tate (co-main): 1,025,000
UFC 170 – vs. Sara McMann: 350,000
UFC 175 – vs. Alexis Davis (co-main): 545,000
UFC 184 – vs. Cat Zingano: 600,000
UFC 190 – vs. Beth Correia: 900,000
Payout Perspective:
Early indicators from most outlets reflected the fact that UFC 190 did well on PPV. The prelims drew 1.3M viewers and google searches topped 6 million. All of these indicators would point to the fact that Ronda Rousey is, arguably, the top draw in the UFC. The card had little to support her and she was able to garner 900,000 fans. The PPV buy rate also reflects the fact that her star is gaining steam. One might expect her to draw similar numbers when she faces Holly Holm at UFC 195.
UFC 190: Payout Perspective
August 3, 2015
Welcome to another edition of Payout Perspective. This time we take a look at UFC 190 taking place at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
Rousey ends Corriea in 34 seconds
Ronda Rousey showed her dominance once again by knocking out Bethe Corriea in just 34 seconds. It was not the most technical of fights, but Rousey showed power in her hands by flattening Corriea. While many are calling for Cyborg, it looks to be the trilogy with Miesha Tate this December.
Shogun-Little 'Nog
It was billed as a rematch of one of the best fights in Pride that occurred 10 years ago. The 10 years took a lot out of each as the first round had a lot of action and slowed considerably over the next two rounds. Many fans thought that a failed guillotine attempt would have won the fight for Little 'Nog but Rua pulled out the unanimous decision once again. Both will continue to fight but I am not sure if that is the best idea for each.
Although announced as a sellout, UFC 190 at the HSBC Arena drew 14,723. As seems to be a constant with Brazilian cards, a gate was not announced.
Prior PPV events at HSBC Arena
UFC 142 – 10,605 (Aldo v. Mendes)
UFC 153 – 16,844 (A. Silva v. Bonnar)
UFC 163 – 13,873 (Aldo v. Korean Zombie)
Demian Maia, Shogun Rua, Antonio Rogierio Nogueria and Ronda Rousey. Maia and Rouse yearend Performances of the Night while Rua and Little Nog earned Fight of the Night. Each earned $50,000
Promotion of the Fight
The UFC Countdown show offered a little more than usual as Ronda Rousey talked about her father after Bethe Corriea's comments regarding Ronda committing suicide when she beat her.
Rousey also gave an insightful interview during an Embedded feature.
There had to be some concern about the promotion of this fight since it would be in Brazil. Rousey still did Jim Rome and some other U.S. outlets but not as many as if she were here in the states. Yet, it appears to have done well.
The Octagon sponsors included Budweiser, Fram, Sports Authority, Reebok, the movie, "Straight Outta Compton," Tai-Chi Panda, Brazilian outlet Combate and TNT Energy Drink (like most Brazilian events) had the center of the Octgaon.
Tai-Chi Panda is a video game. A commercial and its web site featured Ronda Rousey. The UFC women's bantamweight champion also wore a Monster Energy logo on her Reebok kit. Rousey also had a new MetroPCS commercial which featured her mother and the horsewomen.
"Straight Outta Compton" had the fighter prep point and the trailer was shown prior to the Rousey fight.
Odds and ends
Placing the TUF Brazil Finals on the main card was not the best idea. A lot of discontent from fans and people tuned out. People seemed mad that the Ronda fight did not start until past 10pm PT.
The TUF Brazil contestants wore generic UFC shorts except for a panel which included sponsor TNT Energy Drink. One might assume that this was a deal brokered by TNT and/or TNT paid for the spot on the shorts.
The UFC Fan Voting was shown after each fight as it is another way that the UFC can engage fans during the PPVs.
A lot of tweets from mainstream stars in support of Rousey displayed throughout the night and on Dana White's twitter feed.
The WWE sent a thank you to Ronda Rousey after she dedicated her fight to Roddy Piper.
Congratulations to @UFC Bantamweight Champ @RondaRousey on her successful title defense. #UFC190 #RIPRoddyPiper http://t.co/56vs0MZ9Cx
— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) August 2, 2015
Corriea had a good gimmick with stating that she wanted to beat all of the Four Horsewomen including Ronda. But, we all know that Rousey is so much better than her other stablemates. The award for the worst tweet of the night goes to Showtime's Stephen Espinoza for continuing a trend of leaders of an organization badmouthing another promotion's event.
Great matchmaking, UFC. Four main event fights, two minutes total. Can't wait to buy the next one.
— Stephen Espinoza (@StephenEspinoza) August 2, 2015
The award for best tweet of the night goes to the WWE's Seth Rollins for responding to a tweet from Dana White who was badmouthing (or perceived to be) another promotion's product.
Guys, cut @danawhite some slack. I mean he's had a million matches, so his opinion is super valid and should be taken as gospel.
— Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) August 2, 2015
The tweet from Rollins is in response to White telling a twitter follower that WWE is fake. Rousey had 6 million google searches over the weekend. YouTube highlights also did well:
Revised Google search total for Rousey on Saturday is 6M, so gigantic and unprecedented for MMA but not unbelievably epic.
— Adam Swift (@AdamMSwift) August 3, 2015
As far as extrapolating PPV business, 1M of the searches were "Ronda Rousey fight" which looks a lot like pirates trolling for the fight.
— Adam Swift (@AdamMSwift) August 3, 2015
@AdamMSwift Every Ronda story we pubbed had two extra 0s vs avg. Our YT highlights (w/o finish footage!) has 5M views http://t.co/D3pZM52g5t
— Carleton Curtis (@carletoncurtis) August 3, 2015
UFC 190 will tell us whether Ronda Rousey can carry a PPV. Rousey has not done as much media as she would have if the fight was in the U.S. But, it still received a ton of searches over the course of the weekend. It was the number one trending topic overall in the U.S. during the PPV. Certainly, the casual fan was searching the internet for the 34 second clip of Rousey winning. This may be a problem when it comes to future Rousey PPVs as fans might just wait to see the fight on Vine…or ESPN.
Notwithstanding the future ways of purchasing (or not purchasing) a Rousey PPV, Saturday's event will be telling as to whether UFC 184 was just one good night. Corriea was not a strong opponent for Rousey despite the trash talk. The question is whether that even matters. It didn't seem to matter for Conor McGregor at UFC 189.
Dana White indicated that UFC 190 was trending better than UFC 189. It's hard to say what numbers he might be looking at although one might think pre-buys for the PPV might be one. Couple that with the perceived correlation that google searches equate to PPV success and UFC 190 might be a PPV hit. I was originally thinking that this PPV would do 400K-500K PPV buys. However, it appears that it may well have exceeded this. Anything above 700K would be outstanding considering there was virtually nothing else supporting Rousey's fight.

Guilt-free recovery.
Choosing between the bevy of protein shake options on the market can seriously get in the way of your training time, so opting for Vega's Sport Protein is a good way to simplify one of the most complicated aspects of serious endurance athletics. You've got a 140.6 in 4 months, a 70.3 in two, and an assortment of shorter training races in-between. You don't have time to navigate hyperbolic claims and sort through sugar-filled calorie bombs masquerading as "fuel"; you just need to swim, bike, and run.
Vega is a plant-based nutrition company that adheres to gluten-free, non-GMO, and Vegan standards when concocting its supplements, enabling you to boost your training and support healthy muscle recovery without ingesting a host of questionable ingredients.
Inside a serving of its Sport Protein, you'll find 30g of protein, 6g of BCAA's, 6g of glutamine, as well as Tart Cherry, probiotics, and tumeric, all of which work to speed up recovery time and help with muscle repair after you put yourself through a brutal brick workout or a punishing session on the track. You won't find any added sugar, gluten, or animal products in the powder, so you can mix it up 45-90 minutes post-effort without any guilt, then get ready for your next workout.

Great protein mix
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Vega is a great source for vegetarians looking for some extra protein in their diet. Mix this with soy milk and you'll get a few extra grams in there. The taste is great and it mixes well.
Great Flavor and Consistency
Mix this with some hemp milk and it's my go to recovery drink on long days.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been a fan of Vega products for a few years and usually prefer chocolate in their products but find that the chocolate in the new formulation is a little too sweet for my taste. Vanilla, however, is just right. Besides the taste I appreciate that its plant-based and provides 6g of glutamine, a component I've found to be a essential for recovery.
Taste and feel
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Tastes good and smooth on the stomach with exercise. Can't ask for much more then that.
Complete plant-based protein
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I switched to Vega Sport Protein after using Vega Protein & Greens for about a year. I wanted more protein than the other mix had and really had no need for the veggie powder...I eat a lot of veggies already. This product tastes much better in my opinion as well.
I've used this after big rides and as a quick option for breakfast. Leaves me feeling satisfied and no bloated feeling like some other mixes can do.
Good Stuff
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've tried a few different Vega Proteins, all taste good and do a good job as far as shortening recovery, this one is a finer powder and comes with a bigger scoop than the others. Mixes up fairly easily and comes out a little thicker than others but tastes great and seems to definitely help shorten recovery time. Haven't used a Vega product I didn't like.
Fantastic Recovery Option (or Breakfast)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been utilizing VEGA products to recover from my shorter rides (under 90 minutes), and other workouts that will leave me needing to build some muscle. In the past I have used very expensive options from the body building world; I can honestly say that I have not noticed any difference in recovery or maintenance of muscle in using VEGA's protein, and the texture and flavor is outstanding!
If you are looking for a recovery drink that isn't packed with carbs, give this one a go!
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with me directly.

Back in the gym!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Recently went back to working out in a gym environment after injury. I haven't done this strenuous of workouts in a while and I found I was getting very sore for days at a time. Picked this stuff up and I feel way better the next day after the gym.
I wanted to try the mocha, but went with the chocolate since mocha was out of stock. It doesn't taste like a beautiful chocolate shake, but it is also not overly sweet or sugary like other proteins I have had.
It mixes well and so far I do not have any complaints. Just with the bottle was bigger!
Works wonders!
Recently switch to a plant base diet, and was worried about the supplements that I was taking before while working out, this is definitely an amazing complement to my diet and to my workouts, I feel great after every work out, I bike everyday and lift a little after every workout, the pain never gets to bad, the vega protein does help you to recover pretty quick.

The dream story of the "Most Surprising Rookie," Landry Fields, continues. From starting for the Knicks from day one to winning two straight Rookie of the Month honors (November and December), the 39th pick in the 2010 draft will now be heading to All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. Fields was selected by the league's assistant coaches to the Rookie team who will be taking on the Sophomores in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge on Friday, February 18th at 9 p.m. EST.
The Rookie team, which features Amare Stoudemire as an assistant coach, also includes:
Eric Bledsoe -- Clippers guard
DeMarcus Cousins -- Kings center
Derrick Favors -- Nets forward
Blake Griffin -- Clippers forward
Wesley Johnson -- Timberwolves guard
Greg Monroe -- Pistons center
Gary Neal -- Spurs guard
John Wall -- Wizards guard
The Sophomore team includes:
DeJuan Blair -- Spurs center
DeMar DeRozan -- Raptors guard
Stephen Curry -- Warriors guard
Tyreke Evans -- Kings guard
Taj Gibson -- Bulls forward
Jrue Holiday -- 76ers guard
Serge Ibaka -- Thunder forward-center
Brandon Jennings -- Bucks guard
Wesley Matthews -- Trail Blazers guard
Fields' 7.1 rebounds per game leads all guards in the NBA, and if it wasn't for LeBron James' 7.2 mark, he'd also be leading all small forwards in the entire league. Fields is also near the top of the list in field goal shooting. His 52.3 percent mark ranks third among all guards in the league, just a shade under Steve Nash (52.8) and Tony Parker (52.4). Among rookies in scoring, he's fourth at 10.1 points per game, after Griffin (22.8), Wall (15.0) and Cousins (13.5).
Now that Stoudemire and Fields are booked on a cross-country flight, will Raymond Felton be next? The All-Star reserves will be announced on Thursday, and his offensive numbers put him right behind All-Star starter Derrick Rose.
