So mashed potatoes are one thing – wonderful comfort food, of course. But once you mash potatoes and carrots together, you just might not go back, especially because Mashed Potatoes & Carrots are naturally light – and need very little, if any, added fat to make them taste rich and luscious.
And don't miss Mashed Rutabagas & Apples, it's a great way to sweeten root vegetables, not with processed sugar but the natural sweetness of fruit.
"Wow, the potatos and carrots were delish ..." ~ Chelle
"Really tasty!" ~ Anonymous
Mashed potatoes and carrots are easy to imagine, as in, WHY DIDN'T WE DO THIS BEFORE? But mashed rutabagas? You'll like them too.
Awhile back, our long-time family friend Meryl recommended a favorite of hers, rutabagas glazed with soy sauce, brown sugar and butter. To me, they were, well, okay. A week later, a leftover rutabaga was going to waste in the fridge. I searched for another recipe and am glad of it.
The Lesson: Just because you don't like a food, especially an unfamiliar one, cooked one way doesn't mean you won't love it some other way. Don't give up after the first try!
Time to table: 50 minutes
Makes 5 cups
- Water to cover
- 2 medium rutabagas (about 2 pounds after peeling)
- 3 cooking apples
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Generous salt & pepper
Bring water to boil in a large pot over medium high. Peel rutabagas, cut in a half-inch dice. Add to boiling water, let it return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until soft, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel (don't skip this step) and chop apples. Once rutabagas are soft, add apples and cook another 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Add butter and maple syrup, process until quite smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Time to table: 45 minutes
Makes 3 cups
- Water to cover (see ALANNA's TIPS)
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed, skins on
- 1 pound carrots (see TIPS)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Kosher salt & pepper to taste
Bring water and table salt to boil in a large pot over medium high. While water heats, dice potatoes in about one-inch pieces. Peel carrots and cut cross-wise in half-inch lengths. Add potatoes, carrots and table salt to water and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and let simmer until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving about a cup of liquid. Mash potatoes, carrots and butter with hand mixer, adding reserved liquid as needed. (It's possible none will be needed.) Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper.

I find mashing vegetables is a great idea.
My mom has mashed up potatoes and carrots for me since I was little, sometimes adding turnip in too.
Nowadays I mix carrot, potatoes, turnip, sweet potato, squash, and sometimes even parsnip all in together! I use a LOT of butter and pepper, and sometimes have a gravy mix with it. It really helps me try new vegetables, to see what mixes in well.
And I can't believe I'm eating all those vegetables!
as a side note my 8mth old ate more in one meal with these 2 recipes then ever before!

New government regulations, cross-selling and budget planning all require fast, accurate data, and that demands business intelligence (BI). The pressure on IT departments to deliver concrete benefits from business intelligence software has never been greater.
Companies launching BI projects often need to pull together scattered data, but many firms in Asia have already moved through the consolidation stage with data warehousing projects. For them, the challenge is integrating BI projects with existing data storage structures.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club, one of the largest racing organisations in the world, has a three-year-old data warehouse that consolidates transactional and demographic information from millions of customers and 150 loyalty programs.
Philippines-based food manufacturer Monde Nissin already had an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in place, so their priority in choosing BI tools was smooth integration. Cognos was able to create a data warehouse for the company that can be extended to include historical data archives, improving the foodmaker's analytical abilities.
The BI framework helps capture business information from transactional systems to use in operational decisions, something that "can't be handled" by ERP systems alone, according to Monde Nissin's MIS manager, Jimmy Ng.
Also raising the profile of BI within enterprises is the need to comply with new regulations, especially in the financial services industry. Many Asian financiers are working towards meeting the standards laid out by Basel II.
But even with more compliance requirements on the horizon, most companies remain focused on "the same old issues, such as data quality," says Alys Woodward, a senior analyst at UK-based market research company Ovum.
Changing processes
Of course, there is far more to delivering a return on investment from BI than consolidating data and standardising formats. Organisations have to use the software to transform their existing business processes.
South Korea's Hyundai Capital Services (HCS) implemented a new portfolio management system based on Hyperion's Essbase 7X solution that eliminated the need for the firm to input and analyse customer data manually-a task that Shin Dong-Lim, team manager for HCS's risk management department, says required over 50 per cent of his resources.
But under the new system-which became operational in June 2004-data on customers and loan payments is consolidated within a half-built data-cube, ready for efficient analysis and processing. HCS staff can now download results directly to Excel.
Shin's team also built an Executive Information System (EIS) for upper-management level users on the back of the Hyperion solution, which provides even more guided access to the data through ready-made screens and parameters.
HCS's investments have helped cut the time it takes to design and build reports based on historical analyses from two weeks to less than a day.
Monde Nissin is another company that relied heavily on BI software to deliver a major shift in its overall strategy. The company wanted to become more focused on profit, as opposed to sales volumes.
In the past, the firm struggled with short product lifecycles and razor-thin profit margins. The Cognos BI system now allows Monde Nissin to track individual product performance and costs through all distribution channels, down to the actual prices of ingredients.
"This information is crucial in managing the profitability of goods sold. With fast-moving products like instant noodles and biscuits, even a small fluctuation in commodity prices or exchange rates can impact profitability," Ng says.
When production and price variances reach preset thresholds, the system notifies operation managers to take cost reduction steps immediately. The company has also been able to identify and reduce idle inventory by combining its inventory and production data warehouses for variance reports that "easily pinpoint where to improve our manufacturing operations," adds Ng.
Monde Nissin preserved time-tested business processes by replicating existing processes within the new BI system. "We didn't re-engineer our business to accommodate BI initiatives, so there's no drastic change in the way our end users use information," Ng says.
Strategic advantage
Unlike Monde Nissin, the Hong Kong Jockey Club could easily tell which of its races were the least profitable, but until they put in new data mining tools from vendor SAS, it was much harder to find out why.
"It's much easier for us to use the data mining tools to tell us what other factors are significant to these changes," said the club's executive director of IT, Steve Beason. "It is crucial to get down to some of the root causes, then we know what we have to work on and what plan to put in place."
The experiences of Monde Nissin and the Club show how companies are increasingly using BI software as a strategic weapon, aiming not only to boost sales and profitability, but also to predict future market and customer movements.
BI has helped Hong Kong mobile telco CSL, a subsidiary of Telstra, to bring forecasting to an immediate and personal level. Their system now produces real-time operational statistics that are converted into "information scorecards" on each customer. When interacting with a customer, frontline staff now have current and accurate data that supports targeted sales and servicing.
"As we deal with a large customer base, we need a highly effective BI solution to make solid business decisions and execute effective marketing campaigns," says Joshua Chan, CSL's general manager of competitive strategy and planning.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club invited customers to participate in focus groups and surveys. With the richer data mining that resulted, they launched personalised service campaigns for those that were drifting away, leading to double-digit increases in customer retention.
"By delivering the right information and products to the right people, ultimately, we have more satisfied customers, lowering our costs and saving time." Beason explains. "Our goal is to build more one-on-one relationships with customers. Personalisation is always the big issue for us."
CSL, meanwhile, reworked its marketing department to create a "closed-loop" of analysis and feedback on campaigns that is used to strategise new marketing efforts. "There's a lot of information and behaviour patterns hidden inside our data that's dynamic and ever-changing," says Chan.
Dismantling communication barriers
While increased efficiency is at the heart of most new BI projects, the technology can throw up cultural issues of its own, such as a lack of communication within an organisation.
Ovum's Woodward notes that "different departments often do not speak."
"In this type of corporate culture, the provision of shared access systems and data across divisions is highly unlikely," she says. "Companies see the biggest benefits of BI when departments can sell it to other departments."
Hyundai's Shin advises that CIOs focus on building a consensus among involved departments prior to implementing any major BI projects.
He was fortunate in that Hyundai's BI drive had clear requirements and impacted just two departments initially, even though the end product is used across the entire company.
"We communicated a lot with the collection department and the strategic department," he says, "If I started again, I would take sufficient time on the initial requirement definition stage."
The good news is that communication barriers are far from insurmountable. The bad news-for IT departments-is that as board members get more BI savvy, they will start demanding increasingly complex deployments in a bid to push profits even higher.

And just like that, Manny Ramirez is on his way out of town.
The Chicago White Sox, who claimed him off waivers on Friday, are about to acquire the veteran for nothing but salary relief.
Ramirez is owed anyhwere from $4.1-$4.4 million for the rest of the season depending which source you believe. Either way, this is a win for the Dodgers -- and the White Sox.
The White Sox get a guy who isn't always the most motivated player playing for a 2011 contract. There's no doubt in my mind he's going to mash. He's going to be a hot fantasy waiver wire pickup.
The Dodgers were reportedly deciding whether or not to pay a portion of Ramirez's salary to acquire third base prospect Jon Gilmore from the White Sox. Gilmore is in his age-21 season (just turned 22) and has a solid .318 average and .354 on-base percentage, but he hits for minimal power. His career slugging percentage in the minors is .380, which just isn't going to cut it at the hot corner. He also owns an .887 fielding percentage, which could spell a move to a corner outfield position.
Long story short, he's a fringe prospect at best (not ranked by Baseball America in the White Sox's top 30). It seems the Dodgers know this and aren't going to send any money to Chicago.
The Dodgers get some much-needed salary relief. There's no way they were going to offer Ramirez arbitration after the season, so getting him off the books (for this season, at least) a month early is well worth it. Not to mention he's played sparingly since returning from the disabled list.
The Boston fans tried to warn us Dodger fans of Ramirez's antics. We were so blinding by his mashing that we blew them off and said they were just jealous. Now, far be it from me to agree with anything that comes from Boston -- but they were right.
Aside from the last two months of the 2008 season, Ramirez has been a disappointment. His numbers have been solid (.297/.413/.524), but that hasn't been enough for Dodger fans to overlook everything else -- 50-game suspension, lack of hustle at times, his 2010 season, etc.
This guy won over the L.A. crowd in the matter of a few weeks. That is a difficult feat that almost no athlete can lay claim to. Hell, for a time, he was probably more popular than Kobe Bryant. But how quickly that went away.
Ramirez might very well the best hitter the Dodgers have ever had. Even without the performance-enhancing drugs, the guy was still going to get into the Hall of Fame (kind of like the 'roider [allegedly] in 'Frisco).
It's unfortunate the Ramirez-L.A. relationship had to end this way. He had a chance to be as beloved as Fernando Valenzuela, but he couldn't take advantage of that.
Ramirez may not help the ChiSox get into the playoffs, but he'll rip the cover off the ball, ultimately earning a 1- or 2-year deal following the season from an American League team.
In the meantime, Scott Podsednik should start the majority of the season in left field. Come the winter, the Dodgers will -- once again -- be looking for a big bat to plop in the middle of the lineup.
Sunday, August 29, 2010
Adios, Manny Ramirez

I'm still trying to figure out what antics we partook in.ReplyDelete
Sorry, he, not we.ReplyDelete
Mainly his "not caring" attitude. When he was mashing, it wasn't a big deal. When he was always hurt, his nonchalant attitude was magnified and just rubbed people the wrong way.ReplyDelete
Ramirez wasn't the issue with the Dodgers, but it was clear he didn't want to be a Dodger anymore. Better to save some cash than pay him to play uninterested baseball for the rest of the season.

Where do bush babies live?
Bush babies are found throughout East Africa as well as in woodlands and bushlands in sub-Saharan Africa. They generally do not inhabit areas above altitudes of 6,500 feet. Most often, they live in tree hollows that provide shelter. Sometimes, they construct nests in the forks of branches, but these are not as commonly used as are natural holes. Bush babies prefer trees with little grass around them, probably as a precaution against wildfires. They will also seek shelter in man-made beehives.

Judicial Externship Program (JEP) is a 4-credit hour Pass/Low
Pass/Fail program open to students who have completed at
least their first full year of law school and want to do
legal research and writing for federal appellate, district
or magistrate judges or designated Illinois appellate or
circuit court judges.
JEP enables a student to become involved in particular
legal problems through research and writing, and to contribute
to the resolution of those problems by participating in
drafting memoranda and opinions. Depending upon the judge,
an extern may also have the opportunity to observe from
a unique perspective that judge's day-to-day routine and
to discuss with him/her the issues and problems that judges
confront. Take advantage of this prestigious learning opportunity
while enhancing your marketability in the legal world.
For additional information about JEP, you may also refer
to the Law School website, "Law
Offices/Clinical Programs".
Application Process
Applications for Spring Judicial Externships are now available
in the Law Offices reception area (Room 600), in the Career
Services Office, and in front of the Spakateria.
If you have any questions about the Program or the application
itself, please contact Professor
Gary Laser.
Completed applications should be submitted to Ms. Carole
Ross, Secretary to Professor Gross, Room 612, by Tuesday,
October 9, at 5:00 p.m.
A2P Legal Externship is a 4-credit hour non-graded program
which enables you to extern with a supervising attorney
in a wide variety of legal areas – private or public, civil
or criminal. Externships are available for the Fall, Spring
and Summer semesters. Some public sector externships enable
you to obtain a 711 license and appear in court.
Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement what you learn
in the classroom, you need practical experience in real-world
legal work. Most students aren't fortunate enough to receive
a paid clerking position — or even a volunteer opportunity
— that teaches what they want to learn. LEP presents a unique
and important opportunity to gain exposure to an area of
the law in which you are interested and helps you significantly
broaden your future employment opportunities.
Students interested in civil law may extern in a wide variety
of places. For example, some have externed at the City of
Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office of the Illinois
Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission, Immigration
Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal Revenue
Service, and Environmental Protection Agency, as well approved
in-house corporate legal counsel.
Students interested in criminal law have externed at the
US Attorney's Office, the Office of the Federal Defender,
and at the offices of the State's Attorney and Public Defender
in Cook County as well as the surrounding counties.
Application Process:
Information and application packets for Spring 2013 will
be available both on
line as well as in front of the Spakateria, in Career
Services Office, and in Room 600 Law Offices reception area
in mid-October.

Voting in the Dark: Open Government
Under Siege in
Chicago Public Schools Elections for Local School Council
June 1, 2012
When you enter the voting booth, how do you select who
will receive your vote if you have no information about
any of the candidates? Due to last-minute changes in Chicago
Public Schools' (CPS) disclosure policy, members of the
public were unable to obtain information as basic as the
names of CPS's Local School Council candidates prior to
the April 2012 elections. Local School Councils (LSC) are
elected bodies that play a critical role in Chicago's public
schools, including approving budgets and evaluating the
school principals.
State law and CPS's own policies require transparency.
The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) compels government
bodies such as CPS to provide the public with requested
information so they may "fulfill their duties of discussing
public issues fully and freely, making informed political
judgments and monitoring government to ensure that it is
being conducted in the public interest." CPS' own election
guide requires schools to provide candidate information
to anyone who requests to review these materials prior to
a LSC election. Yet, CPS, citing privacy concerns, made
an eleventh hour change to their own well-established policy
which denied access to individuals requesting to review
the LSC candidate information in person at the schools.
CPS could have simply redacted the private information
in the LSC materials (such as Social Security numbers) and
made available the rest of the file for public review. The
Center for Open Government, Welles Park Bulldog and others
urged CPS to do so in order to safeguard any confidential
information and provide open access to candidate information.
Instead, starting in March 2012, CPS reversed its own policy,
requiring anyone seeking information about LSC candidates
to file a public records (FOIA) request with the central
CPS office. Given the short period before the April election
and the typically long response time by CPS for public records
requests, this "solution" essentially prevented the public
and media from obtaining important information about LSC
candidates before the election.
CPS trampled on fundamental principles of democratic government
by placing unnecessary barriers to the dissemination of
LSC candidate information. Citizens were forced to go into
the voting booth completely in the dark to select the individuals
making policy decisions about their children's education.
CPS must comply with its own policies and the FOIA law for
future elections. CPS needs to assure the public that future
LSC candidate information is readily available to anyone
who wants it. CPS needs to know that we want the lights
back on in the voting booth.

Patch Adams visits patients in Fauquier Hospital's Emergency Department.
Infusion Center patients at Fauquier Hospital are delighted to meet Patch.
Fauquier Hospital employees, patients and volunteers rubbed elbows with celebrity on Monday and it was a memorable experience for all involved. Patch Adams -- the physician, patient advocate, and clown who was the subject of the 1998 Robin Williams movie by the same name -- careened into town Monday morning. Eccentric, radical, passionate, and most of all, caring, he created a bit of a sensation in our quiet community.
Patch (He prefers to be called Patch rather than Dr. Adams) touched down first at the Fauquier Springs Club, in time to speak to attendees at Fauquier Health's annual Volunteer Appreciation Brunch. Fauquier Health honors its more than 300 volunteers each year with a festive gathering. It was an appropriate audience for Patch's message – health system volunteers embody the patient-centered care that Patch says is so crucial to healing.
Patch, 69, was speaking to his contemporaries here, and he got knowing smiles and nods when he confessed that he doesn't use a computer or iPhone, and answers all his mail – 400-600 letters a month – longhand. He spoke of the power of person-to-person contact, of listening, of understanding and celebrating the differences among us.
Like many of the volunteers, he has seen tragedy and injustice, though on a much larger scale than most people have had to confront. He has traveled the world to cheer the sick and injured. With his clowning troupe, he has ventured into refugee camps, into the poorest parts of Cuba, South America and the Soviet Union. He said, "I have held perhaps 2,000 children in my arms as they died of starvation … I have prayed at 3,000 sickbeds…. We have clowned on the streets, in subway stations, in hospitals. No one is safe."
He and his companions visit patients armed with red rubber noses, hats that look like nesting chickens, funny pants and oversized clown shoes. They sing, dance, tell jokes and engage in deliberate silliness, meant to break down barriers and coax laughter from pain. And they listen.
During the hour and a half Patch spoke to the volunteer group, he railed against a health care system that often fails the poor, and focuses on prescribing pills instead of getting to know patients. As a doctor, he says that he takes four hours for an initial consultation, visits the patient's home and plays with their children. He never charges for his services.
As anyone who has seen the Patch Adams movie knows, Patch is not a fan of medical schools or of the U.S. health system. He believes that more can be accomplished through love and friendship than through prescriptions. "Wellness, health, love, these are words that are not mentioned in medical school."
He is particularly scornful of psychiatric medications, and says that mental illnesses are merely labels. He believes that mental illness is an individual's reaction to society's failures. He says depression is a by-product of loneliness and ADHD is a result of bad schools. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is not a mental illness; it's a reasonable reaction to the horrors of war. Controversial statements, to be sure, and offensive to some, certainly. Perhaps his audiences forgive his eccentricities because Patch doesn't just rail against the establishment, he tries very hard to make a better world – one person at a time.
How does he find the will, the energy, to continue pushing for his dream? He said that he wakes up every day and decides to be gloriously happy.
Dressed in his trademark red flowered clown pants and sporting a wispy ponytail down his back – half silver and half bright blue -- Patch told the volunteers about a hospital he operated in Arlington, Va. for 12 years. All of the doctors and their families lived at the hospital, everyone was welcome and all care was free. He has described the experience this way: "We lived in a six-bedroom house and called it a hospital. We had 20 adults and their children -- that included two family doctors and one psychiatrist. We saw 50 to 100 patients each month and had 5-50 overnight guests. You could come with or without an appointment and the only label we gave to people was 'eccentric.' We were an artist's colony that celebrated art, nature, education; we practiced yoga and massage and held all-night dance parties to trick people into doing aerobics. We were never sued, we made millions of mistakes, and we never gave up. For 12 years, we had a house filled with anger, neediness, illness, loneliness. I loved every second."
It was decided that after 12 years, the project needed a proper facility, so the house closed and work began on opening a proper hospital. Land has been secured in West Virginia and fundraising continues. "We are 0 for 1,400 on foundation grants, so far," says Patch, but the effort goes on.
The Main Event
Within a couple of hours of saying goodbye to the volunteers, Patch was in Fauquier Hospital's Emergency Department, visiting patients and spreading his own brand of joy. Patch owns what he called the world's largest pair of underpants. Six or more members of the ED staff – including ED physician Dr. Jeff Joseph and several nurses – gleefully climbed in to the absurd garment and visited patients along with Patch. Patients were universally delighted to meet the famous Patch Adams. He joked about enemas, he held their hands and he posed for selfies with patients and staff.
The group – which included a half dozen hospital staffers dressed in clown gear and giving out paper flowers – was whisked off to the Infusion Center next, where Patch visited one-on-one with the three patients there. "What can I and my rubber fish do for you?" he asked each. With one patient, he traded his chicken hat for her more subdued gray one. "Can you tell us apart now?" he wondered out loud.
For one patient, who donned a red nose for the occasion, Patch sang a country song in a deep voice while the rest of the room fell silent, listening. By the time he left the Infusion Center, everyone seemed to be properly cheered.
For his last stop of the night, Patch spoke for two hours to a gathering of hospital staff. The evening was a gift to Fauquier Hospital nurses in honor of Nurses Week. He spoke about compassion burnout, an appropriate topic for the audience of healthcare workers who give so much every day to the sick and injured. He said, "It's sad that a person doing love work, caring work, can get burned out."
He elaborated on seven reasons why he will never burn out. Among them:
PPatch Adams knows that there are many ways to change the world. He chooses to connect through humor, caring and love. "I have clowned every day for 50 years. I have 30 toys on me right now. I can be dangerous."

C'mon, you really didn't expect the Lakers to spoil a perfectly Good Friday and can the head coach, did you?
To some, that would have made it an even Greater Friday — Mike D'Antoni forced to sit in front of the microphones at the Lakers' El Segundo offices, apologize for the mess that just happened, have Mitch Kupchak hold the door open so it doesn't hit him on the way out, then watch him start his Easter weekend as a basket case.
All that would have done is left the Lakers with egg on their face. Hard-boiled, even. Fire the guy, then let him talk for 45 minutes about how great the future looks for the franchise without him as part of it.
D'Antoni not only wasn't sent down the rabbit hole, but if you're going to force us to connect dots, study body language and dissect syntax for all that was blasted live on their own TV channel Friday, he's more than likely coming back.
If not officially announced now, then give it a couple of weeks, No matter how low-key general manager Mitch Kupchak wants to frame it.
Because the Lakers' decision-makers are nothing if not fair — with a lot of flair. They understand that this 2013-14 season "went sideways," the word D'Antoni used on more than one occasion Friday. "Sideways" might also be the title of their season-in-review DVD, but someone already took for a movie 10 years ago that involved a lot of alcohol consumption to numb life's pains.
Kupchak won't get hit with any additional corkage fees (especially if that puts the team further into more luxury-tax limbo) and isn't whining when he acknowledges that this year simply turned to vinegar. In his eyes, D'Antoni was just the guy trying to spray the field with a crop duster that had a broken wing, an ugly paint job and less than a quarter tank of gas before he could turn the propeller.
For Kupchak to say not just once, but twice, that D'Antoni was under contract for two years, "and if anything changes we'll let you know," may not come across as any huge vote of confidence, but it's not a mixed message, either.
D'Antoni, as far as everyone there is concerned, was never given a full, NBA-ready roster to work with for the entire season. For the same reasons they hired him in the first place, they'll give him a somewhat reconstituted roster this fall that includes a supposedly healthy Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, perhaps a non-vertigo'd Pau Gasol and maybe a better-than top 10 draft pick.
Besides, if you dump D'Antoni, who else do you get?
There aren't any real bright, shiny objects out there to distract Jim Buss' attention. As logical as it may seem to consider UConn coach and L.A. native Kevin Ollie, or a recalibrated Kentucky coach John Calipari, or even throw the usual suspects like Byron Scott, George Karl and Jeff Van Gundy into it, none are compelling enough to change the course at this point. They'd have done no better and perhaps even worse with this Lakers team.
One of the more interesting things that may have risen to the surface in Friday's media debriefing was a give-and-take over the state of the game these days. It has changed. The mind-set has evolved move into a philosophy that, low and behold, is kind of what D'Antoni has been preaching the last couple of seasons. It's just that he's had a tougher time selling it to some of the older triangle-rigid players.
"Basketball's changed, and it's not the same basketball your father played," he said. "It's just not it. And teams that adapt to it quicker are going to be more successful quicker. (Getting the Lakers on board has) been a process and will be a process. That's probably the most challenging part of the job, changing opinions."
Has your opinion changed about D'Antoni yet? Or do the Lakers start a search for another D'Antoni-type to replace him?
The last major reason why he gets another stay of execution — the Lakers aren't attracting any slew of team-changing free-agent signees that could be swayed by his presence. A year from now is when Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, LaMarcus Aldridge and maybe LeBron James come into play. By then, they will have had a full year to see what D'Antoni has done with a better roster.
Or, have more of a perceived say in who could conceivably replace him.
For cryin'-out-loud Lakers fans, none of this is what they want to hear. But you've been warned.
Kupchak seems far more inclined to accept the present reality, remembering first-hand how the franchise came out on the other side of that 2004-05 mess that included a head coach departing and more key injuries. The fourth-place finish in the Pacific Division and missing the playoffs was followed by two seasons of getting knocked out in the first round. Then came three consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, and back-to-back titles.
Kupchak's message Friday was about patience. He said it as the team made sure the shade was drawn up in the second-story executive office window visible to the media on the practice court so they could see the 10 NBA championship trophies.
"I would be happy if (this current rebuilding period) took the same amount of time," he said. "We could do better, or it may not be even that good as it was then. But as long as we show progress, improvement and good decisions, our fans and partners are on board."
Hear that? You're already good if and when D'Antoni returns. You just don't know it yet.
As expected, D'Antoni didn't look like anyone stressing over whether he'd be back or not, which is another admirable slice of his personality that his players should take to heart.
"You want to be part of an organization that's part of rebuilding, part of winning championships, or whatever it is, it does not matter," he said. "Everyone's trying to win a championship, but you have to take steps to get there. The process is what's fun. It's fun to be with an organization that wants to win, do it the right way, whether that takes one step or 10 steps."
Next step: Waiting for Kupchak to deliver the message that D'Antoni can plan on at least one more Easter season with the Lakers.
That's not just tulip service from the GM, either.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- A five-minute major for checking from behind in the first period was a decisive factor in Saturday's game against Ohio State, as the University of North Dakota women's hockey team conceded a two-goal lead in the opening frame and was unable to recover, losing 2-1 to the Buckeyes at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
"I thought that (Ohio State) came out with a lot of energy, and obviously that five-minuter to put us down five-on-three was a big turning point in the game," head coach Brian Idalski said. "We even felt like in the second that if we got pucks to the net and we were patient, that we were going to get opportunities."
North Dakota was outshot, 11-10, in the opening period, but proceeded to outshot OSU, 27-7, in the final two periods.
After giving up an early goal off a defensive-zone turnover, UND found itself on its second penalty kill of the game. Unfortunately, just 21 seconds into the PK, Sam LaShomb was called for checking from behind, which carries a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
The ensuing five-on-three power play for Ohio State proved to be too much for UND to kill, as Taylor Kuehl tapped in a backdoor goal to give the Buckeyes a 2-0 lead.
North Dakota buckled down to finish of the remainder of the period while on the PK, as the five minute major overlapped into the second period.
With the two-goal deficit to start the second, UND began to right the ship, outshooting OSU, 12-4, in the second and, 15-3, in the third.
However, as North Dakota created ample scoring chances in the final 40 minutes of play, the age-old phenomenon of 'puck luck', or lack thereof, began to haunt UND.
Meghan Dufault fired a shot that came loose from the pads of OSU goalie Lisa Steffes, but only fell underneath her in the crease. Freshman forward Susanna Tapani had a wide open net to shoot at in the third period, but shot a bouncing puck that hit off the crossbar. Amy Menke had a chance in the second period at a backdoor attempt, but her shot hit the post.
It wasn't until the final four minutes of play that UND finally erased its goose egg off the scoreboard.
While on the power play, UND goalie Shelby Amsley-Benzie headed to the bench for an extra attacker. With a two-man advantage, Halli Krzyzaniak threw the puck on net. In a wild scramble in front of Steffes, Jakobsen got a stick on it, but Dufault crashed in late and poked the puck into the back of the net.
With the deficit now down to just one goal, UND was revitalized and could sense another goal was near. Unfortunately, time expired on the North Dakota rally.
The loss is the first for UND this season, and the 4-1-1 record still marks the best start through six games in program history.
Amsley-Benzie made a total of 16 saves in the contest, including seven shorthanded during the first period. Steffes made 36 saves in her first start of the season.
North Dakota now hits the road for a series at St. Cloud State, Oct. 25-25. UND won't return to Ralph Engelstad Arena until Nov. 22-23 for a series against Wisconsin.

Fall is definitely here and that means only one thing – winter is just around the corner! The arrival of the colder, rainier, darker, and possibly snowy, weather means that cold and flu season is here. The flu shot is a popular option for people who want some protection against the flu, however there has been some doubt about the safety of the shot, and some people just don't like to get shots – so there are other options to boost your immune system without being poked.
First of all, eat a healthy diet. You may have noticed that this is a reoccurring theme in these posts but that is because it is so important! Eating a healthy diet is key to keeping your body healthy and therefore boosting your immune system and keeping your skin clear and your body running smoothly. Fruits and vegetables such as oranges, spinach, and fall's favorite fruit – the apple, are all great because they contain vitamins that naturally boost your immune system and help to fight off any viruses you may pick up. Garlic works great as an antiviral so add it to as many of your dishes you can.
Getting enough rest is also very important during this season. Not just sleep, but rest. Take time to wind down and relax. This can be easier said than done during the busy holiday season but do try to take at least a few minutes each day to relax – your body will thank you.
Drinking lots of water is important all of the time, but now it is especially important because it will help to flush out toxins and keep your mucous membranes moist which is helpful in preventing colds and flu's.
This may seem like common sense – but one of the easiest ways to prevent viruses from getting hold of you is to avoid sick people! If you must interact with someone who is sick – try to keep your distance and wash your hands during and after your interaction with them. Hopefully they will use tissues and cover their mouth with the tissue or their arm while coughing or sneezing so the virus doesn't become airborne.
If you find the busyness of the holiday and the holiday treats that are commonly available too much to ignore and you are unable to maintain a healthy diet, or if you suffer from a low immune system and find you do get sick often anyway, you can take a good quality multivitamin or take a special supplement such as the ZENMED Zenhance which works naturally to boost your immune system and protect you during this season.

What is Podcasting?
This is a term that derives its name from the iPod™ manufactured by Apple Incorporated. The iPod is an electronic gizmo that allows downloading files in .mp3 or AAC (Apple iTunes™ format). To date, the primary file download use has been for music for the iPod to be used as a mobile music player. The iPod is manufactured in various hard disk capacities that predict the download of other, larger-sized files, such as video, in the future.
The name \"podcast\" is no longer specifically related to the iPod but to any software and hardware combination that permits the downloading and playing of files in user defined timeframes.The concept of podcast is a new technology application of an electronic broadcast concept \"narrowcasting.\"

Captain's ReportBy Capt. Rob SmithTo me, the 34 Express is the perfect size for a fishing boat. She fits into many municipal slips easily. She is maneuverable within confined areas, even without joystick drives. She can sleep up to six, or a crew of four for an offshore tournament. For the family, the interior will give them the comforts of the den at home. I had some fun with this test as Rampage had two of the 34s there. One was complete with hardtop, CAT power and ZF drives. The other was fascinating, but was a test bed without an interior. I didn't mind that because it was powered with Volvo Penta IPS gas joystick systems with a special feature I had not seen before. This turned out to be a real "play day."
Notable Construction Features
The Rampage 34 Express modified V-hull with keel and prop pockets has a sharp forward entry and Carolina flare to slice the waves, smooth the ride and help to minimize spray aboard. Stringers are foam encapsulated in biaxial fiberglass and resins, then coated with a high-solids compound to resist water. Rampage wraps the cabin with 3M Thinsulate, the same thing as in your toasty winter ski jacket, for temperature and sound insulation. Thinsulate is quite effective and we are beginning to see it used more and more in the higher-quality boats.The hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline and cored above the waterline. The core is relieved around thru-hulls to prevent wicking water into it. Above the waterline, thru-hulls are 316 stainless steel, and bronze below. The hull carries a five-year transferable structural warranty and a three-year warranty against gel coat blisters below the water line.
The Business End
The 12" wide gunwales have six rod holders. Dock lines run fair through hawse holes to large cleats under the gunwales. The cockpit measures 70 square feet of fish fighting room with a ½" aluminum plate encased in the sole to anchor a fighting chair. A five foot removable fish box is across the sole at the stern and has a macerator.
Rampage considers flexibility important for serious fishing. The first thing is the stern itself. You can have a fold-away bench seat, which is nice if you do a lot of family trips, or a livewell/baitwell. You still need to be able to run with the fish at the stern. I have seen a lack of toe kick here on other fishing boats, but Rampage thoughtfully has it on the 34 Express. Bolsters around the cockpit are removable for cleaning and storage.The transom door is really heavy duty. It has a top gate that flips back onto the stern covering boards and a gasketed door that swings out so you can go swimming, snorkeling or haul that trophy fish onboard. We did some aggressive backing down and there was never a leak around this door. Any water that made its way in through the scuppers was quickly drained away by them.Modular designUsing modules, Rampage can set up the deck the way you like to fish. If you need to have extra bait or several types of live bait or simply want to use the stern well as a fish locker and have a separate baitwell, you can add that module. If you want a tackle center, you can have that. I think you get the picture. Just tell them what you want and whether you want it on the port or starboard side and it is done. The one I tested had the extra baitwell on the starboard side. On port, it had a Frigid Rigid box with pad for an aft facing seat on top. I probably would have two Frigid Rigid systems for the extra ice and family seating space. Up on the bridge deck was a sink with an icemaker below in another module.
Power to fish
Hit the switch and the entire helm deck opens wide for access to the engines below. Rampage does a good job labeling everything well and organizing the lines, wires and connections. You can get around the engines for routine maintenance, especially with the added room Volvo IPS leaves. The outboard sides of the CAT engines were a bit tighter, but still manageable. Power options are twin gas Crusader 8.1 HO MPI, twin CAT C7 ACERT diesels or twin Volvo Penta IPS 600G (gas).I liked the fact that Rampage gives so many engine options as it allows everyone to get the boat they want with whatever power and docking assistance they need.
Moving ahead
On the bow you'll find an integrated pulpit and 1 ¼" 316 stainless steel bow rail. Having been forward on rolling and pitching boats, I think this is possibly a real life saver. The polished stainless steel anchor roller assembly is standard, but I would opt up to a Maxwell RC 800 windlass with 300' (91.4 m) of anchor line and 25'(7.6 m) of chain, at least. The windshield has an anodized aluminum frame with three wipers and washer system as well as a powered center vent.
Take the helmOn the bridge deck, I really appreciated the space around the helm seat. It makes it easy for the navigator/companion to get by without the helmsman having to get out of his seat. This is a little thing, but it can be annoying if not done right and it shows you the kind of attention to detail Rampage has invested in this boat.To port, the L-bench seat has a cooler tub below and a swivel chair at the forward end so it can face the helm or face forward. To starboard there's another module with sink and icemaker below. It's nice to have a wet bar topside for the crew and family. The helm seat is a ladder back seat with room to stand and drive or sit and troll. The helm itself is hinged so you can get to the electrical connections when you add electronics to the 34" x 13" electronics areaThe optional hardtop allows you to add a tuna tower or an upper control station, or just get out of the sun. This also gives you room to add rod holders, outriggers and other gear. Beneath the top is a handy grab rail.
Sportfish modeThe fascinating fun was on the test bed powered with Volvo Penta IPS 600G joystick drives. Rampage has developed and proven a system that with a push of a button sets the throttle/shifters so that the captain can chase down a fish deftly, changing the drives from forward to reverse smoothly and without tearing the drive apart. It was amazing. We backed down at about 5 or 6 mph, spun to port, then just as quickly to starboard and then into a full spin all in seconds and with no hesitation from the power train. Fish need to be scared!It is not talked about much, but when you have a truly big fish on, you need to keep the stern of the boat facing the action and keep the angler fighting astern rather than over a stern quarter, or worse, to the side. The latter is a good way to lose fish. The helmsman has to be as agile as a ballet dancer at the Met, and with this boat he can turn, spin, back down, gun her forward and do whatever it takes to keep the line taught, the rod bent, and the fish on the defensive.
Down BelowThe fiberglass enclosed head has a solid cherry door, cherry veneer cabinetry with solid surface countertop and stainless steel sink. The toilet is a SeaLand model with macerator. It has a hand held shower wand and there are four vertical rod racks for your best gear. Headroom in the compartment measures around 75" (1.9 meters).
Meal timeThe galley also has cherry laminate cabinetry and solid surface counter tops. Rampage pays attention to the grain of the wood and matching the doors up in good alignment. The solid surface counter top has a molded in matching fiddle to keep things from sliding off in rolling seas but no rail to lash the cook in if it gets too rough. I guess it is better to go topside and forget about eating when it is that bad anyway. Appliances include a microwave oven, two burner ceramic cooktop, and refrigerator/freezer.R&RThe salon is well laid out for the crew to sit back and relax. The optional aft sofa converts to Pullman style berths. Forward is an optional island berth with privacy curtain. Standard arrangement has a forward dinette that converts to the same four Pullman berth systems. Rod racks are above the sofa for gear up to 75" (1.9 meters). Headroom in the salon measured 77" (1.96 meters) and at the foot of the island bed it was 65" (1.65 meters). Entertainment in the salon is an optional 15" LCD TV and DVD player but the Sony AM/FM/CD stereo and four speakers are standard.SpecificationsThe Rampage 34 Express measures 35'6" (10.85 m) in length with integrated pulpit and has a beam of 13' (3.96 m). Her approximate weight is 17,200 lbs. (7,800 kg) with diesel engines and 16,200 lbs. (7,348 kg). Draft is 29" (.74 meters) and deadrise is 18 degrees at the stern. She carries 367 gallons (1389 L) of fuel and 60 gallons (227 L) of fresh water.This comfortable sofa makes into Pullman berths for fishing buddies, or a nice double.
Test resultsLake Michigan was calm during testing, so I can't speak to the boat's rough water ability, but handling was good with both the CAT powered and the Volvo Penta IPS powered models. Rampage weighted the test bed to match closely to the distributed weight of a finished model for test purposes. She was on plane in 5.8 seconds and passed 30 mph in 8.5 with the Volvo Penta IPS engines. Her top speed was 41.5 mph at 3600 rpm. Her most economical speed was 24.2 mph at 2500 rpm for a range of 434 miles (698.5 kilometers) with a burn rate of 18.4 gph (69.6 lph).RecommendationThe Rampage 34 Express is a solid fishing machine but also makes a good coastal cruising boat. You can set up the deck the way you like with options and you can also option the interior to fit your needs. You want a queen bed forward, Rampage will do it for you. 34' is a popular size for express fishboats and there are many on the market. Many of them are built to a price point, and that is where corners often get cut. Spend a lot of time on these boats as we do and you'll begin to see the little things that separate the men from the boys, but unfortunately it is often not so easy to do with a quick walk-through at a boat show. We have spent a lot of time with this boat in all stages of construction and we can attest that she is built ruggedly and her finish work is something you can be proud of. If you are in the market for this size and type of boat, you need to see the Rampage 34 before making a decision.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Rampage 34 Express (2009-2010) is 41.5 mph (66.8 kph), burning 41.6 gallons per hour (gph) or 157.46 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Rampage 34 Express (2009-2010) is 24.2 mph (38.9 kph), and the boat gets 1.32 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.56 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 434 miles (698.46 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 370-hp Volvo Penta IPS500 - Diesel.

Manas no longer 'in danger' of losing World Heritage status
Manas – a biodiversity hotspot that serves as a National Park, a Tiger Reserve and an Elephant Reserve, was listed as a World Heritage site in 1985. In 1992, amidst the civil unrest of the 1980s and 90s, Manas was declared 'in danger' of losing the World Heritage status.
The decision to remove the 'in danger' tag was announced during the on-going 35th Session of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) in Paris.
Manas was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to severe damages to the ecosystem during the civil unrest.
"Inscription of a site in the List of World Heritage in Danger has two sides to it. One, it draws global attention to the problems faced by the site, which is beneficial; the second, it indicates a pending threat that the site could be deleted as a World Heritage completely if appropriate measures are not taken to restore it," said Vivek Menon, Regional Director – South Asia, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW –www.ifaw.org) and Executive Director, (WTI - www.wildlifetrustofindia.org), and a member of the Indian delegation to the Session.
Until now the WHC has deleted two sites from the World Heritage List altogether. These include the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in Oman, delisted in 2007, and Dresden Elbe Valley in Germany, in 2009.
"Fortunately for Manas, this fate was averted, thanks to the local people, the government and the Forest Department authorities. IFAW-WTI is proud to have been of assistance and to have pioneered numerous conservation activities here under the initiative 'Bringing Manas Back' to its former glory," Menon added.
The turnaround in Manas' fate began in the early 2000s. The political situation in the area began improving and culminated in the creation of the Autonomous Bodoland Territorial Council under the Bodo Accord (February 2003). Since then, there have been concerted efforts by the governments and local people assisted by committed NGOs, INGOs and individuals to revive Manas.
Under the 'Bringing Back Manas' initiative of the government and the Forest Department in collaboration with IFAW– WTI, Greater Manas was declared, tripling its area. Likewise, the flagship greater one-horned rhino was reintroduced. The protection and management of Manas was enhanced through trainings of frontline staff, provision of equipment and facilitating and encouraging involvement of local communities in conservation.
The decision on the World Heritage status of Manas was made by 22 member countries to the World Heritage Committee. An independent review on the status was done by the IUCN to apprise the Committee on the present situation in Manas.

Scotland's gamekeepers will this week commence their biggest ever conservation project aimed at halting the decline of the nation's vulnerable wading birds.
This year is the Scottish Gamekeepers Association's Year of the Wader and gamekeepers on all grouse moors are getting ready to step up for nature.
Curlew, Lapwing and Golden Plover are frequent summer visitors to heather moorland breeding grounds managed by gamekeepers.
Officials at the SGA are now asking all grouse keepers to note the numbers of the endangered birds as they go about their daily work.
They hope that the data will provide answers as to how conservation work to preserve the birds could be targeted effectively across Scotland.
"Gamekeepers, through their management, have provided the conditions to conserve waders for countless years, at no cost other than their own efforts and care as they go about their daily work.
"However, even on grouse moors, there is a concern at the declines and that is why we are doing this now," said SGA Chairman Alex Hogg.
"What we are asking grouse keepers to do is to help us build a detailed map of breeding waders on their ground and create a baseline for future years.
"The birds are coming back now from their wintering grounds so we want people to record the presence of breeding pairs as accurately as they can.
"For those that are really keen or have the time, we would also like to record abundance with surveys just before eggs are hatched around May and again in late June/July when the numbers of fledged chicks can be noted."
The call and trill of the Curlew and 'peewit' sound of the Lapwing are familiar on Scottish moors and gamekeepers are keen that this continues into the coming years.
They have sought guidance from GWCT on how best to gather the data and will be publishing information to encourage as much engagement as possible.
"Gamekeepers might be active in managing in a way that helps produce wildlife but, due to lack of time or working remotely, are not always the best at recording it.
"Whilst the principal aim here is to help wading birds, we also hope an off-shoot of this project is that it encourages gamekeepers to get into the habit of noting the wildlife on their ground so we can establish an accurate picture of biodiversity on managed moorland," added SGA Chairman Alex Hogg.
Acclaimed wildlife photographer Peter Cairns believes it is important for wildlife managers to participate in frontline conservation.
He said: "It's exciting to see SGA encouraging its members to get involved in wader conservation. The amount of ground covered by keepers across Scotland makes them ideally placed to monitor breeding success and to that end, keepers represent a valuable, if largely untapped, conservation resource."
Minister for the Environment and Climate Change Paul Wheelhouse said: "I welcome the Scottish Gamekeepers Association's Year of the Wader conservation project, which will see grouse keepers helping to monitoring the population of waders in Scotland.
"I hope this and other similar work being done to conserve wading birds can inform us of the conservation work required to halt the decline of these important species which can be affected by predation of eggs, for example by foxes or crows, or arising from impacts on habitats either through climate change or the influences of changes in land use".
If you are a gamekeeper and want to contribute to the project, you can follow these instructions:
1- Locate a decent sized Ordnance Survey map of your ground area. Squares should represent 1km square. These pink land ranger maps can be purchased at most walking/tourist information outlets.
2- The waders in this study are Curlew, Lapwing and Golden Plover. When waders arrive on you ground, if you see a breeding PAIR in one of the 1km square boxes, mark either C for Curlew, L for Lapwing or P for Golden Plover in that box.
3- If there is one pair of Curlew or 8 pairs in that box, only mark 'C' once. The key thing is to mark PRESENCE.
4- Once you have recorded, and the waders are preparing to move on, send the information to email@example.com marked "SGA Year of the Wader COUNTS'. Detail also how many gamekeepers work on your ground area and the name and size of your estate. (Estate names will be kept confidential).

photovoltaic solar energy Applications
Metrology for the photovoltaics industry
Quality control to maximize efficiency is critical in the competitive photovoltaic industry. For some time solar texture has been thought to qualitatively affect solar cell efficiency. However, through large-area, 3D measurements and areal feature parameters, quantitative correlation of texture to efficiency has only recently been obtained. We now know that ISO 3D surface parameters linearly correlate with solar cell efficiency.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Carcharhinid sharks are a valuable resource worldwide. They are utilized for their flesh, fins, oil, and skin, and are taken recreationally (Bonfil, 1994). Some species are known to travel long distances, occasionally crossing oceans, and are considered to be a resource shared between regions and nations.
Carcharhinidae genera can be difficult to identify due to similar body shape, color, and overlapping distributions; particularly Carcharhinus species and Rhizoprionodon species. There are a number of shark identification keys and field guides that are invaluable for carcharhinid identifications and those works are fundamental for providing a format for accurate identifications (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1948; Baughman and Springer, 1950; Springer, 1950; Casey, 1964; Clark and von Schmidt, 1965; Schwartz and Burgess, 1975; Hoese and Moore, 1977; Boschung, 1979; Garrick, 1982, 1985; Castro, 1983; Compagno, 1984; Gar man, 1997; McEachran and Fechhelm, 1998).
Members of Carcharhinidae are variously distinguished by the presence of precaudal pits; lack of spiracles (present on tiger sharks and occurring rarely on lemon sharks, Compagno, 1988); bladelike teeth with single cusps; first dorsal fin origin usually above pectoral fin or slightly posterior to pectoral fin inner corner (except on the blue shark with the dorsal fin base midpoint closer to pelvic fin origin than pectoral fin axil); second dorsal fin smaller than first dorsal fin and above anal fin (second dorsal fin and first dorsal fin almost equal size on lemon sharks); fifth gill slit over or posterior to pectoral fin origin; no fleshy keels along sides of caudal peduncle (except on tiger sharks and blue sharks); well developed nictitating membrane along eye socket lower margin.

The Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) is a fairly complex instrument. However, it can be a powerful tool in meeting your personal philanthropic objectives and your family's financial well-being. Furthermore, the current economic climate with historically low interest rates, makes a CLT worth considering if you have substantial assets you wish to transfer to your heirs. It is often described as the reverse of a charitable remainder trust, and to an extent it is. With a CLT the income interest goes to the charity annually during the life of the trust with the remainder interest eventually returning to the donor or, and more often, to the donor's heirs.Significant gift and estate tax benefits can be realized by establishing a Charitable Lead Trust. Basically, the donor transfers assets to the CLT, which can be created with a fixed payout rate or a variable payout rate, for a specified term of years. When the trust term ends, the principal along with all appreciation is transferred to the donor's stated beneficiaries, often adult children or grandchildren at a very favorable tax rate This is known as non-grantor CLT. If the property returns to the donor it is called a grantor CLT, and the tax benefits differ significantly.
As noted above the CLT is a complex form of planned gift. Therefore, we would especially encourage the donor to consult a trusted attorney or financial advisor when you are considering this form of gift which when funded remains irrevocable.

"When we entered, the team had already divided into four halfcourt stations. In the near corner, the big men were at work, including a stunning congregation of mid-'90s talent. Larry Johnson and Herb Williams led a series of shooting contests between Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas, Amar'e Stoudemire, Henry Sims, and Chris Copeland. Hard to tell who won what, but they all have lovely mid-range jumpers (Well, they get 'em in. "Lovely" doesn't aptly describe Camby's scorpion strike.)"Thanks for all these notes Seth
Is it too much to say that Amar'e and the veteran's mid range game offensively is that big of a factor to success as anything? In my opinion, no.
