International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasis Research and Control (ISCTRC) Abuja Declaration
On Renewed Commitment for Accelerated Progress towards Research, Control and Eradication of Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Constraint in The African Continent
The 35th Meeting of the ISCTRC and the 18th PATTEC National Coordinators' meeting held in Abuja Nigeria from 23rd to 27th September 2019 acknowledged that Tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) problem continues to constrain the socio-economic development on the African Continent. While recognizing achievements made for the control and eradication of T&T as declared by Heads of state and Government at AU Summit in Lomé Togo in July 2000 (Decision AGH/Dec.156-XXXVI) such as reduction in Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases, the meeting noted with concern the slow progress towards achieving the objectives of T&T control and eradication. A sense of urgency was therefore expressed in tackling the problem to safeguard the gains made on the road to elimination and eventual eradication of T&T constraint.
The meeting urged renewed commitment at all levels towards control, elimination/eradication of T&T constraint.
The meeting emphasized that T&T problem should be tackled within the broader context of One Health, Sustainable Rural development and poverty reduction; urging countries to develop appropriate agriculture transformation strategies in the face of changing climate conditions. Furthermore it was emphasized that new innovative strategies, policies, advocacy and awareness, partnerships and effective coordination are of paramount importance for accelerated progress with clear and achievable milestones agreed upon at country, regional and continental levels.
Awards of Excellence of the ISCTRC in Commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasis Research and Control (ISCTRC)
For the commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the ISCTRC to be marked during the 35th General Conference of the ISCTRC to be held in Abuja, Nigeria on the 23rd to 27th September 2019, a decision has been made to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions, in the last 10 year, towards the mission and values of ISCTRC. These awards will consist of Plaques, Medallions and certificates. Recipients of these awards exemplify excellence and are representatives of the best in their fields. They have consistently excelled in their positions and demonstrated integrity and a strong commitment to the mission and values of ISCTRC. These awards will be presented on behalf of the Chairperson of the Africa Union Commission and the Thirty Eight (38) countries affected by tsetse flies and human and animal trypanosomiasis.
The recipients were nominated by the ISCTRC fraternity based on a specified criteria and eventually selected by a committee appointed by the Director of AU-IBAR.

SPYL cautions against the enemy from within
Aletta Shikololo
WINDHOEK - Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) Secretary Ephraim Nekongo has made an impassioned appeal to fellow members in the youth wing to stop being at each other's throat and to rather focus their energy constructively and to find meaningful ways to create jobs for the benefit of all.
Nekongo made these remarks at the inaugural youth dialogue at Swapo Party headquarters.
He complained that some youth expend their energies on unconstructive issues.
"We must talk about issues that are affecting our nation such as 'what do we have to do to fight unemployment in the country' instead of fighting one another in all sorts of ways," he said.
"There are so many external factors at play. Apart from economic recession and loss of jobs, these factors have led to hate speech. I truly and openly want us as young people to change our mindset and begin constructive dialogues to address challenges such as gender-based violence, diseases etc."
Nekongo also encouraged the youth league members to pay more attention to how they could propel the party to greater heights and to defend the party.
Despite the fact the youth league and Swapo members are required to contribute to the relevance of the party, Nekongo also complained of some unlawful actions being taken by some cadres that are involved in activities that tarnish the image of the ruling party, said the SPYL secretary.
He added, "People are losing interest in the party because of some members that are messing up. If they keep messing up what are they going to tell the nation when elections comes?" he queried.
Nekongo also mentioned how others are out there strategising on how to destroy the Swapo Party.
"Why should a Swapo member campaign for an opposition candidate?"
He reminded the nation about the Fourth Industrialisation Revolution.
"Generations have changed, this generation has experienced the worse economic downturn in history, and globalisation has emerged, now with fourth industrialisation taking over, we need to completely adjust ourselves, our thinking, our debates so that this country, this continent, this world can be a better place for us and for the future generations," said Nekongo.
Another important point Nekongo made was for the nation to invest more in the agricultural sectors to create more jobs.
Namibian musician Lazarus Shiimi, known as 'Gazza' also attended the event and he encouraged the youth to always take part in the kind of events such as Youth dialogue so they are enlightened and empowered.

Goodbye(?) to the Outpost

Bar Review
The Outpost
0 comments
When I began to construct this blog as a farewell to a Houston area watering hole, I thought it would be relatively straight forward. Local bar is founded in the suburbs. Has a rich and unique history and list of patrons because of its location near NASA. There's no other place like it in the United States, but as times change, time seemed to move on and it didn't, and as a result its relevance is diminished and even as a patron, it seems to be for the best that it moves into our memories vs. our present. But the picture is now murky, I'll expand later.
Let's start with the introduction and background. In 1981, on the heels of the
Apollo program
and as the
Space Shuttle program
was just beginning, The
Outpost Tavern
opened in Webster, Texas, at the
corner of NASA Rd. 1 (no, there's not a NASA Rd. 2) and Egret Bay Blvd
. This is just a stone's throw from the Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake, NASA one of the pillars of Houston culture since the
Mercury days
. Outpost was founded less than a decade after the
last moon landing
(about the same time from now back to 9/11 to put it in temporal perspective). But the area was invigorated with the new prospect of a Space Shuttle Program launching and a new era of space flight. In 1981, the JSC area only had a few neighborhoods, and very little social options, and The Outpost was a local watering hole that was unmatched outside of the Bonanza Steak House and Monterrey House Mexican Restaurant.
What The Outpost turned out to be a historical local bar, which astronauts, JSC management, engineers, and non-NASA locals frequented for decades. It became primarily known as the "
hangout of astronauts
". Touchdown parties were booked for every flight. When I was a co-op student working at JSC in the mid-1990's, several crew appreciation parties were held there (nothing like comped beer at 21 years old, shooting the breeze with astronauts). It was a place where "plain old" engineers were invited to mix with the crew and flight operations personnel to share in the celebration of a successful mission.
It had all the makings of a neighborhood bar. Memorabilia everywhere the eye could see, wood siding and primitive chairs and tables, a simple bar with a handful of taps, parking on pebbles or grass. For 28 years, locals shuffled in, day after day, to grab a little beer, some basic food made by the two or three staff while you waited, and share stories of design reviews, EVA excursions, and successful touchdowns. It was rumored that if you were selected to serve in the Astronaut corps, you opened a tab at The Outpost to kick off your journey, and didn't get to close it until you returned from your first mission. In the meantime, those "in the know" would run it up as an initiation rite. Good stuff.
So why would a place like this close? Well, the area outgrew it. There are more than a dozen other local bars, some chains, some independent, that far exceed it in accommodations, tap options, location, and "buzz". Slowly but surely, it no longer was "the place" to celebrate a successful mission, there were several other options that were easier to get to, had better parking, and more than two people cooking food. It's not to say they were more convenient or had better prices, they just slowly sucked the regular traffic away, and The Outpost slowly faded into irrelevance.
That's not to say if you stopped by you wouldn't have good time. It just wasn't the good time anymore.
A few snapshots from my last trip:
It might have been given up for dead in 2005, when in January it suffered
a devestating fire
that gutted the establishment. But through extreme vigilance by local fire departments, lots of services provided at cost by local contractors, and patron donations, the place opened within a week, a little bit worse for the wear, but back serving the community.
Flash forward to the present. As it turns out, during it's near 30 year run in the Bay Area, The Outpost never owned the land it resided on, nor was it an issue. Until 2009. When the property was sold to a developer. Unfamiliar with the new owners, The Outpost declared that they'd just go ahead and close, instead of waiting for the other shoe to fall and get a vacate notice. To be honest, it seemed a bit quick, as there was no indication that negotiations or intent were discussed with the new owners. But I would also respect that if the ownership after 30 years thought it was time. The Outpost time had past, they no longer wanted to endure the uncertainty, nor the economic downturn, or the prospect of selling it to someone who might turn it into a Chili's clone, and just use the name as a token for profit.
But this week, things took a
very unexpected turn
. In a bizarre twist of cultural respect and information release, it seems as if the
new property owners have locked out the management
, claimed no rent has been paid for two years, but vowed that they intent is to move the establishment to a very close location and "upgrade the place to make it more family oriented" (hopefully not another Chili's). The physical structure (which was obviously compromised and rebuilt in 2005, we're not talking about that much original here) was a WWII "quonset hut" (see above link) that could quite frankly be moved. Both side vow court action, which I know means lawyers will win (sorry Mr. Smokeypants). The original owners don't want The Outpost name to be used in vain, the new property owners seem to think they have rights to the structures on the property.
So we sit in flux. I'm not sure The Outpost has relevance anymore. However, when it was going to be closed, the calls for "national landmark" and "fundraising effort" resonated deep in the JSC community. But I personally think, "all good things must come to an end" and this was a prime example.
What happens next, remains to be seen. But a toast to a place not like any other!

Trelora, a flat-fee real estate agency, will take a second stab at publicizing the commissions a home seller is willing to pay agents representing a buyer.
In February 2015, Denver-based Trelora provided information on buy-side commissions with its online listings, but received a cease-and-desist order from REcolorado, the region's multiple listing service.
Under the agreement reached with REcolorado, anyone wanting to see commission information can set up a secure account with Trelora and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
The agreement is non-exclusive, allowing a buyer to work with other firms. Trelora, when it discloses a buy-side commission, also promotes its flat fee of $2,500.
The Denver Metro Association of Realtors reports that 55,634 homes worth $22.2 billion were sold last year in metro Denver, which Trelora estimates generated around $1.25 billion in commissions.
Assuming agents on both sides of each transaction charged a flat fee of $2,500, consumers could have saved $970 million in commissions.
"Our goal in releasing this commission information is to give homebuyers access to all of the information so they can make the best possible decision for them during their home buying process, and not worry that they're being pushed toward a more expensive home because it affects their agent's income," Trelora CEO Joshua Hunt said in a statement.

Color Run
On June 11, 2019, HCSS held its first in school's history Color Run. This event started as an idea for a fundraiser to support the school's College Mentoring Program but ended up as a fun event for all who participated. Around 130 students, 30 staff members, and some parents have participated in this event. After a couple of weather-related cancellations, we have gambled on having an event and got the sunshine with a beautiful afternoon for our run. All of the participants had a great time running, jogging, walking, dancing, eating, and throwing colors at their friends and teachers. HCSS is hoping to make this event a tradition. So, if you did not get your Color Run t-shirt this year, please join us next year for even more fun

Audiovisual Translation Options: Which One is Best for Your Video?/
According to the American Translators Association, more than 62% of the world's 3.5 billion Internet users worldwide consumed digital video as of 2017. If your goal is for your video content to reach a foreign-language market, that content needs to be localized. There are several options for audiovisual translation, so how do you choose which is the right fit for your company and video? We've listed a few of the most common options to help you decide.
Subtitling versus dubbing: what's the difference?
Subtitling is when the audience hears the video content in its original language and, in turn, reads a transcript of what is said via translations, generally at the bottom of the screen.
Dubbing (or Voice Over), on the other hand, is an audio recording of the video script that replaces the original audio. Viewers hear the video content in their own language instead of in the originally recorded language.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of subtitles?
Proponents of subtitling often prefer being able to hear the audio as it was originally intended to sound. With subtitles, none of the on-screen talent's emotions are lost. Also, from a financial perspective, subtitling is usually less expensive than dubbing, because there is no need to hire voice talents or secure a recording studio and engineer.
On the other hand, subtitles may lose some of the meaning you would otherwise hear in audio. They must be short enough that the viewer can read them while the original audio is playing. If the text translation of the audio runs long, the subtitler is faced with a dilemma on what to cut. Filler words and other seemingly unimportant parts of the text are sacrificed in order to meet the character limit imposed by subtitles. Moreover, if a video is "busy" with a lot of graphics or action, subtitles may distract viewers. They could miss key parts of the visual experience due to having to read the subtitles. If a viewer looks away, they could potentially miss an important part of the dialogue as well.
What are the pros and cons of dubbing?
Fans of dubbing usually prefer it over subtitling because it typically allows for an easier viewing experience. Since viewers hear the audio in their own language, they can focus entirely on what's happening on screen, without the distraction of reading subtitles.
Then again, what's being heard through the dubbed audio will almost never match the pace or movements of the person's lips as they move on screen, similar to poor lip syncing. Some viewers are more distracted when a voice does not "match" the actors' movements than they are by subtitles. Dubbing is also typically more costly. You will have to find a professional voice talent who speaks the native language of the audience you're targeting, as well as find a recording engineer and studio. The process is typically more time-consuming than that of subtitling.
Should I choose subtitles or dubbing?
Often, this is a stylistic preference, and it is the reason that many companies offer both options for video content. However, it may not be in your budget to invest in both right away.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself when determining whether to select subtitles or dubbing:
What do I know about my target audience? The type of audience viewing your video may have a large impact on the type of audiovisual translation they prefer. Research preferences by country. Oftentimes, viewers are more accustomed to one type of experience over another, depending on what is most popular in their country. A person's typical preference may also differ by age range or reading abilities as well. Do not assume that it's a one-size fits all approach when making this choice.
What type of content am I producing? Just as audiences are usually more accustomed to a viewing experience depending on previous experience, the same can be said of the type of content you produce. Consider whether your audience is in a business setting, part of a targeted ad campaign, viewing solely for entertainment, etc. Also consider how "busy" your video is and if subtitles may hinder the experience for viewers.
Where will I share this content? Will you share your video on social media, present it as part of a business training, release content on DVD or Blu-ray, or embed it on your website? Localized videos may require different approaches depending on where you plan to share them. If your audience typically views your videos with the sound off as they scroll through social media, for example, subtitles may make the most sense. If you share a video in a business setting where people will be expected to take notes on what they are learning, dubbing may be the right option instead.
At the end of the day, both of these audiovisual translation options have merit for localizing your content. Spend some time researching what will work best for your company and target audience each time you create a video you'd like to localize.
Need subtitles or dubbing for your latest video content? Contact us to set up a consultation.

Was Kepler's Supernova Unusually Powerful?Submitted by chandra on Tue, 2012-09-11 12:09
In 1604, a new star appeared in the night sky that was much brighter than Jupiter and dimmed over several weeks. This event was witnessed by sky watchers including the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler. Centuries later, the debris from this exploded star is known as the Kepler supernova remnant.
Astronomers have long studied the Kepler supernova remnant and tried to determine exactly what happened when the star exploded to create it. New analysis of a long observation from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is providing more clues. This analysis suggests that the supernova explosion was not only more powerful, but might have also occurred at a greater distance, than previously thought.

One of our current appeals is Alicia who has severe brain damage, is registered blind and unable to sit, walk or talk. Her family readily admits life is anything but easy. The day-to-day struggles they face are worth it every time Alicia smiles or reaches out to touch one of them.
Alicia contracted Cytomegalovirus as a baby and recently underwent a 10 hour life threatening operation on her spine to save her lungs crushing from scoliosis. During the operation she had to have metal rods inserted into her back, which caused her sleep positioning to dramatically change which makes the bed she currently uses insufficient for her needs. We are desperately trying to raise the funds to purchase a new profile specialised bed which will help keep Alicia in a more beneficial posture. The family also needs an H tracking ceiling hoist to help Alicia in and out of bed, because of her age her family members can no longer lift her with her retaining dignity. Alicia has an incredible amount of medical equipment in her bedroom so we wish to supply a bedside surround to help conceal and keep her room accessible.
Alicia's sister Sam said "exceeding the doctor's first assumption that Alicia would not make four months we take each day as it comes.
We estimate that we will need to raise £5000 to complete this project which I am sure you will agree is a small price in comparison to how much more comfortable we can make Alicia's life.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If a woman is denied the right to choose for herself whether or not to complete a pregnancy, in what sense can she, or any of us, claim rights of any kind? The right to have an abortion is the mother of all others. Denying a woman's sovereignty over what goes on inside her body is an extreme attack not only on her freedom and God-given dignity, it is an attack against freedom itself.
In case anyone doubted that the minority group in control of our government is serious about outlawing abortion, current events should be convincing. And if anyone doubted that this campaign is an effort to impose the religious beliefs of a minority onto everyone else, they need to know what the governor of Alabama said when she signed that state's draconian abortion ban: "… this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God." Of course every life is a sacred gift from God – but that has nothing to do with the subject of abortion rights. And to imply that it does is to misread the Judeo-Christian tradition. The Bible as a whole, and Jesus in particular, had nothing to say about abortion. Fundamentalists quote scripture supporting their anti-choice views, but not one of the passages they cite has anything to do with the subject. They are reading their beliefs into texts where they don't appear.
So if we are to preserve our freedom, including freedom of religious choice, we must rise up in defense of reproductive choice. And we who are Christians must speak up, in the name of our faith, or the public will presume that we are anti-choice. Here are some talking points for us:
"We speak of Esau and others in the Bible as having a birthright, not a conception-right. After a strong religious experience we might say we've been 'born again,' but not 'conceived again'… …fetus as 'person' or 'human being' has never been a settled question within Christianity nor Judaism. There are large segments of the Judeo-Christian world that, historically and currently see the embryo or fetus as potential human life, but not as fully human until birth or until some stage in fetal development well past conception." — Rev. Scotty McLennan, former Dean of Religious Life, Stanford University, in his book, Jesus Was a Liberal, 2009.
"I was taught that it is more important to be on God's side than to have God on your side. God's side is mercy, love, justice and compassion. It is time… to start the conversation in the faith community that will let us pursue these with regard to reproduction and sexuality so that jubilee will come to the captives of reproductive and sexual oppression." — Dr Willie J. Parker, doctor who performs abortions.
If abortion is outlawed anywhere in this country, the backlash against Christians will be fierce. We'll all be painted with one brush. Whether before or after the fact, we Christians who support freedom will have a lot of explaining to do. So we might as well get busy with it now.
To see what happens to religion when religion is imposed on people by the government, check out Iran, where millions of people have turned away from Islam because of its ties to the theocratic government there. Check out what is happening in Russia, where the government uses Orthodox Christianity as a tool for its totalitarian agenda: the churches are empty. Have a look at the legacies of European state-sponsored churches that have become little more than museums.
Banning abortion will be bad for women. And it will be terrible for Christianity. So for everyone's sake, we progressive Christians must be "out", loud and clear, in support of reproductive choice.

NBA Draft Trades 2015: Tracking and Grading Every DealJune 25, 2015
NBA Draft Trades 2015: Tracking and Grading Every Deal
NBA teams have been busy shuffling the deck ahead of the 2015 NBA draft, and we should expect the action to continue into and beyond the league's annual amateur selection process.
In some cases, predraft moves signal a desire to move up or down in the order. In others, big-picture, franchise-altering machinations are at work. Example: The Portland Trail Blazers pulled off a deal that sent away a piece of their core in Nicolas Batum, which may be an admission that LaMarcus Aldridge's days in Rip City are numbered.
Picks, players and future considerations are always on the move this time of year, and Thursday night was no different.
There were plenty of deals on draft night, which means we have ample opportunities to pass hasty judgment, which is always fun. Grading deals so soon after they're completed can be dangerous, especially when one move is only part of a larger plan. But we'll do what we can to lay out the pros and cons of each deal while handing out evaluations for both sides.
Blazers Move Batum
Portland Trail Blazers Get: Gerald Henderson and Noah Vonleh
Charlotte Hornets Get: Nicolas Batum
First reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports and later confirmed in an official release, this deal's significance has little to do with the actual parties involved.
While Batum gives the Charlotte Hornets a versatile wing looking to prove last year's down performance was a fluke (heading into a contract year, no less), the real intrigue here is how the acquisition of Henderson and Vonleh affects LaMarcus Aldridge's free agency.
We can call the Batum-Henderson portion of the deal a wash. Both have one season left on their contracts, and their player efficiency ratings were nearly identical last year (13.2 for Henderson and 13.1 for Batum, according to Basketball-Reference.com). Maybe the fact that Henderson will make just $6 million in 2015-16 while Batum will collect $12.2 million gives the Blazers a mild edge.
Vonleh is the real source of interest, though.
He plays Aldridge's position, and he's not the type of project you'd bring in as immediate help for the veteran big, who will be 30 next year and looking to contend while still in his prime.
It feels like the Blazers are starting over—or at least thinking about it.
Blazers Grade: B
We should really go with an incomplete grade here, as we won't know whether this move makes any sense until Aldridge makes a decision. But if we assume the Blazers are starting over, this is a solid deal. Getting two inexpensive assets for a costlier one improves roster flexibility, and Vonleh—last year's ninth overall pick—is still just 19 years old.
Hornets Grade: C-
It's possible Vonleh won't pan out. And for what it's worth, Jonathan Givony of Draft Express reported the Hornets weren't sold on his potential: "Told Charlotte had concerns about Noah Vonleh's acclimation to NBA. Had difficulties picking up on plays. Questions about his feel for game."
Still, it feels like the Hornets believe they're further along in their rebuilding efforts than they really are, so giving up a cheap wing and a possibly valuable teenager for a $12 million player coming off his worst season since his rookie year is a reach.
The Luke Ridnour Odyssey, Featuring Jeremy Lamb and Matt Barnes
Luke Ridnour was the eye of a trade hurricane in the days leading up to the draft, switching teams a ridiculous four times in a two-day span. Since Wednesday, Ridnour has gone from the Orlando Magic to the Memphis Grizzlies to the Charlotte Hornets to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Here, in order, are how those deals shook out:
Trade No. 1
Orlando Magic Get: Janis Timma
Memphis Grizzlies Get: Luke Ridnour
If only we'd known the Timma-Ridnour exchange, reported by Wojnarowski, was the beginning of a harrowing saga…
The Memphis Grizzlies surrendered Timma, a second-round pick in 2013, for Ridnour. At the time, it made sense for the Grizzlies to bolster their backup point guard slot. Neither Nick Calathes nor Beno Udrih was at all helpful in Memphis' season-ending playoff loss to the Golden State Warriors.
But that wouldn't be the end of it.
Magic Grade: B
Admit it: You have never heard Timma's name before. Orlando gets a decent mark because it gave up a player it didn't need, got an asset and saved a few bucks.
Grizzlies Grade: Incomplete
Ridnour was a means to an end, so we won't assess the Grizz until they reach said end.
Trade No. 2
Memphis Grizzlies Get: Matt Barnes
Charlotte Hornets Get: Luke Ridnour
It's hard to think of a better fit for Barnes, shipped from L.A. to Charlotte in the Lance Stephenson deal, than Memphis. Grit and grind are probably the names of Barnes' dogs.
Though the veteran wing has had plenty of run-ins with the Grizzlies over the years, his combination of physical play and wing shooting will be welcomed with open arms…or maybe some celebratory clotheslines.
I think that's how the Grizzlies show affection.
Ridnour, head spinning, is now on his third team, per the Grizzlies' website. But he's not done.
Grizzlies Grade: A
ESPN.com's Kevin Pelton lauded Memphis' move (h/t Grizzly Bear Blues):
In particular, ESPN's real plus-minus thinks highly of his two-way performance as a 3-and-D specialist, rating him 3.2 points per 100 possessions better than an average player last season. That probably overstates things a little, and at age 35, Barnes figures to regress somewhat, but he should still be a starting-caliber small forward paid like an eighth man.
Not bad at all, considering all it cost the Grizzlies were the rights to Timma.
Hornets Grade: Incomplete
Now it's Charlotte's turn for an incomplete grade. Ridnour's real value shows up in trade No. 3.
Trade No. 3
Charlotte Hornets Get: Jeremy Lamb
Oklahoma City Thunder Get: Luke Ridnour, 2016 second-round pick
At last, Ridnour's whirlwind tour is over, per Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Thunder never really found a role for Lamb, so it's hard to know what he'll bring to a new team. When Lamb saw the floor with OKC, he flashed some scoring touch, but he was routinely poor on defense.
Perhaps the Hornets believe Lamb will thrive playing alongside 2011 UConn teammate Kemba Walker. And at any rate, getting a young (age 23), rangy wing with room to grow is intriguing. If all it costs to take a flier on a player like that is Ridnour and a conditional pick, why not pull the trigger?
Hornets Grade: B+
The only criticism you can make here is that Barnes might have provided more value in the upcoming season. Lamb's upside is greater, but judging by Charlotte's acquisition of Batum, winning in the short term seems to be a priority.
Still, Lamb could help with that if he finds a way to be more consistent from the perimeter.
Thunder Grade: C+
This was a money dump, and whether you agree with ducking the luxury tax on a philosophical level or not, the Thunder had to get rid of Lamb's salary in order to make future expenditures on Enes Kanter and/or Kyle Singler sting a little less.
Ridnour's contract is non-guaranteed, which means OKC can save approximately $13 million in salary and luxury tax by cutting him loose, according to Pelton.
Milwaukee Bucks Add Greivis Vasquez
Milwaukee Bucks Get: Greivis Vasquez
Toronto Raptors Get: 2017 first-round pick, No. 46 pick (Norman Powell)
After the Chicago Bulls exposed the Milwaukee Bucks' lackluster scoring ability during the 2015 playoffs, general manager John Hammond is making an early move to increase his team's level of perimeter marksmanship.
As first reported by Yahoo Sports' Marc J. Spears, the Bucks traded for Greivis Vasquez, who was last seen coming off the bench for the Toronto Raptors. ESPN.com's Marc Stein provided the details on what was being sent back to the Raptors:
Sources say that the Bucks will send a 2017 first-round pick (via the Los Angeles Clippers) and the 46th pick in Thursday night's second round to Toronto to bring in Vasquez for the backcourt depth and extra floor leadership they've been seeking.
Though this is far from being a blockbuster deal, it's one of those that certainly benefits both teams. The Raptors can replace Vasquez's production through a number of different routes, and they probably couldn't believe their luck when multiple picks were offered for the 28-year-old guard, including one in 2017's first round.
But it's a price the Bucks were clearly willing to pay, given their dire need to add more perimeter shooting and keep Michael Carter-Williams from having to shoulder too heavy a burden at the point.
Bucks Grade: B
On one hand, this is a fantastic personnel addition. The Bucks struggled immensely when shooting from beyond the arc, knocking down just 36.3 percent of their deep looks and taking fewer attempts than only four other teams in the Association. Vasquez can certainly help change that (37.9 percent shooting on 4.3 three-point attempts per game last year), but this was a heavy price to pay for him, even if the first-round pick is protected.
Raptors Grade: B+
Did Vasquez really have a future north of the border? He only had one year remaining on his contract, and GM Masai Ujiri now has two additional picks and over $6 million more to play with. Toronto needs to find a replacement for him, but that process is easier with the extra money. On top of that, the picks should be more important to this roster than an aging role player.

Washington Starts a Trickle-Down Effect
The Atlanta Hawks made two moves in quick succession during the draft, starting with the No. 15 pick and involving both the Washington Wizards and New York Knicks before the night was through.
Here, in order, are how those deals shook out:
Trade No. 1
Washington Wizards Get: No. 15 pick (Kelly Oubre)
Atlanta Hawks Get: No. 19 pick (Jerian Grant), two second-round picks
The Washington Wizards wanted to get their hands on Kelly Oubre, the promising wing player out of Kansas, but they weren't entirely sure he'd be on the board at No. 19. As a result, they traded up four slots to get their hands on him, as reported by Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
In order to slide up in the order, the Wizards parted with three of their picks—the No. 19 selection in this year's draft and a pair of second-round picks to be used in future years.
That's a steep price to pay for such a small jump, but it allowed Washington to land the player it coveted, and it's not like this team needs to be adding too many other young players in the coming years. The core is already set, for the most part.
Oubre is raw, and he occasionally looked lost while playing for Bill Self at Kansas, either checking out of plays or not understanding what was being run. However, he's brimming over with untapped potential, to the point that he can look like a younger, less polished version of Paul George when everything is clicking.
The former Jayhawk will now play the part of insurance for both the oft-injured Bradley Beal and whoever starts at the 3, whether that's a re-signed Paul Pierce or Otto Porter.
As for the Hawks, they weren't done yet.
Wizards Grade: B+
Giving up three picks is a substantial haul when only moving up four spots, but Oubre is a great fit for the roster. He should eventually provide John Wall with another shooter to kick the ball out to after he drives. His defensive ability will also look quite nice and he helps with depth on the wings, which is sorely needed in the nation's capitol.
Hawks Grade: Incomplete
We can't judge the Hawks at this point, since they weren't done trading.
Trade No. 2
New York Knicks Get: No. 19 pick (Jerian Grant)
Atlanta Hawks Get: Tim Hardaway Jr.
The Knicks had already taken Kristaps Porzingis at No. 4, but they apparently weren't done adding rookies into their rebuilding mix. By dealing Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Hawks—also reported by Wojnarowski—they were able to add another top-20 prospect, taking Jerian Grant out of Notre Dame.
Now, New York has the point guard who will end up running its triangle offense, and he only cost them a player whose appeal had been steadily dwindling ever since his mini-breakout as a rookie.
Grant is a fantastic distributor and offensive player in general. He averaged 16.5 points and 6.7 assists per game during his final season with the Fighting Irish, though it remains to be seen how he'll play without the ball in his hands quite as often.
The Hawks' motives are a bit more confusing.
Hardaway didn't look nearly as tantalizing during his final season in Madison Square Garden, showing no interest in defense and sometimes hijacking possessions, but he still apparently carried a first-round price tag. Whether he's insurance in case DeMarre Carroll leaves during free agency or serves as a sharp-shooting scorer off the bench, Atlanta clearly thinks he's going to benefit from a change in scenery, one that allows him to play for a team with more offensive options.
Knicks Grade: A
Hardaway may have averaged 11.5 points per game as a sophomore, but he shot below 40 percent from the field and saw his three-point percentage decline from 36.3 to 34.2. He couldn't hold onto a starting job for the struggling organization and no longer looked like a sure-fire keeper, so getting a top-20 pick and the potential franchise point guard is quite impressive work by Knicks president Phil Jackson.
Hawks Grade: C+
At first, this looked promising. The Hawks had traded down four slots and picked up two extra second-round picks to use in future drafts. They were still going to find one of their top targets. But the second trade is where things went awry, as Atlanta overvalued the declining Hardaway, who was exposed a bit during his second season. Trading the No. 15 pick for the third-year shooting guard and a pair of second-round picks isn't ideal.

Minnesota Wants Tyus Jones
Minnesota Timberwolves Get: No. 24 pick (Tyus Jones)
Cleveland Cavaliers Get: No. 31 pick (Cedi Osman), No. 36 pick (Rakeem Christmas)
David Kahn is no longer running the show for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the organization apparently still loves drafting point guards. Twenty-three picks after drafting Karl-Anthony Towns to kick off the festivities, the Wolves traded for the No. 24 selection, per Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
Giving the Cleveland Cavaliers two early picks in the second round, Minnesota drafted Tyus Jones out of Duke, thereby adding yet another impressive talent to a roster already loaded with upside.
At first glance, though, it's tough to see exactly how Jones fits into the picture. Ricky Rubio, barring a follow-up trade that would ship him off to a new location, should be entrenched as the starting floor general, and Zach LaVine had some moments of promise during the second half of his rookie season.
This pretty clearly indicates that LaVine's future will come more at the 2, and if that transition is successful, Minnesota will have upped the talent levels on the roster yet again. Plus, it's worth noting that Jones was born in Burnsville, Minnesota, and stayed in the state through high school; this is a homecoming for him.
As for the Cavs, Jones would've been a nice fit on the roster, but now they have a chance to add two young players into the mix during the second round (Cedi Osman and Rakeem Christmas). For a team that figures to be capped out after re-signing its free agents, that will go a long way toward acquiring quality depth. And there's also a chance the non-guaranteed salaries can be packaged in another deal that involves Brendan Haywood's massive non-guaranteed contract.
Timberwolves Grade: B+
Jones is a fun talent who could play a big role in the Wolves' future, but trading up for him isn't going to earn perfect marks. Sure, Minnesota didn't need to grab two more prospects during the second round, as the roster was already nearly full after adding Karl-Anthony Towns with the No. 1 pick. But on the flip side, point guard wasn't a primary position of need.
Cavaliers Grade: C+
Given Cleveland's dire need to add depth to the roster, this initially made sense. Jones figured to be a strong fit behind fellow Duke product Kyrie Irving, and he would've been an immediate upgrade over Matthew Dellavedova. However, the Cavs don't have much money to spend on new additions, and boasting a pair of picks early in the second round affords them two shots to find impact players. Unfortunately, neither Osman nor Christmas will fill primary holes on the roster.

Portland Trail Blazers Replacing Robin Lopez?
Portland Trail Blazers Get: Mason Plumlee, No. 41 pick (Pat Connaughton)
Brooklyn Nets Get: Steve Blake, No. 23 pick (Rondae Hollis-Jefferson)
The Portland Trail Blazers, who already made headlines by trading away Nicolas Batum, may well be preparing for a future without Robin Lopez, as well. According to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Brooklyn Nets are sending Mason Plumlee and the recently drafted Pat Connaughton to Rip City for Steve Blake and first-round pick Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
This isn't necessarily an indication that the Blazers are moving into rebuilding mode, though.
Plumlee held his own while working in the starting lineup and filling in for an injured Brook Lopez, and his style of interior defense and athletic play makes him a cheaper version of Portland's Lopez twin. He may not be quite as impactful right away, but he has enduring upside.
Connaughton could be a major steal as well. He's shown off his shooting stroke, impressive athleticism and defensive ability for years now, and he could be a sneakily effective fill-in for the recently departed Batum.
Of course, it's not like the Nets are getting fleeced.
Blake won't be much more than a backup point guard, but Hollis-Jefferson certainly brings a new element to the Barclays Center. His energy and defensive ability will help the Nets out right away, and the development of an offensive game would be gravy. Plus, Blake is only under contract for one more year, which gives Brooklyn more financial flexibility next offseason.
Blazers Grade: B+
Adding Plumlee and Connaughton helps the Blazers' long-term hopes, preparing them if their incumbent players do indeed depart in the coming weeks. But both could also help Portland right away, assuming Portland is somehow able to retain its core throughout the rest of the offseason.
Losing Blake isn't a big factor, but parting with Hollis-Jefferson and the plaid pants he wore at the draft will be a bit painful. His defensive mentality would have fit in rather nicely with Terry Stotts' schemes, and he's filled with more upside than Connaughton.
Nets Grade: A
It's hard not to love this move. Yes, Plumlee was a rotation member and Blake may not have too large a role, given the presence of Deron Williams and Jarrett Jack. Sure, Connaughton was set up to be a massive steal and would have infused an old and sluggish team with much-need athleticism. But Hollis-Jefferson is a great get for this team, and the cap space the Nets will receive after Blake's contract expires is tough to complain about.

New York Knicks Find a Center
New York Knicks Get: Pick No. 35 (Guillermo Hernangomez)
Philadelphia 76ers Get: Two future second-round picks
As much as the world wanted to believe that the Philadelphia 76ers were going to trot out a lineup featuring nothing but centers, that wasn't in the cards. After adding Jahlil Okafor with their first pick of the proceedings, the Sixers also took Spanish big man Guillermo Hernangomez at No. 35. But he wouldn't stick in the City of Brotherly Love for long.
According to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, the Knicks acquired the big man who last played for Sevilla, averaging 10.1 points and 5.7 rebounds with a player efficiency rating of 19.7. The 21-year-old big man may be an international player taken in the second round, but that doesn't mean he'll have to delay his arrival.
After playing for Spain's U-20 team and developing in the Spanish ACB, he's ready to join the rotation in New York right away, assuming the two sides can negotiate a buyout.
As for the Sixers, they're getting two future second-round picks from the Knicks, per Chris Herring of the Wall Street Journal. And we know how much GM Sam Hinkie loves those.
Knicks Grade: B+
The Knicks can afford to take high-upside risks like this one, and Hernangomez is more polished than the international players who typically get selected in the second round. If the team can come to terms with Sevilla, he could immediately step into the rotation and show off his finesse on the interior. For the price of two second-round picks, which New York certainly hopes will come far later in the proceedings of future drafts, that's not a bad gamble.
Sixers Grade: Incomplete
We have no idea where these picks will fall, and the Sixers already have plenty of second-round selections to work with. We'll have to wait to see how this one plays out, though Hinkie did manage to turn one second-round pick into a pair of them...again. Eventually, he's going to own the entire second half of the draft.
Note: Grades provided by Adam Fromal.
Jon Leuer Headed to the Desert
Memphis Grizzlies Get: No. 44 pick (Andrew Harrison)
Phoenix Suns Get: Jon Leuer
With Jarnell Stokes continuing to grow and after drafting Jarell Martin at No. 25, the Memphis Grizzlies no longer had any need for Jon Leuer, especially after he struggled with his shot throughout the 2014-15 campaign. On the flip side, the uncertainty surrounding the Morris twins and the overall need for more depth at the 4 made the Phoenix Suns willing to take a chance and hope the big man finds his shooting stroke once more.
And so they made this deal, as reported by Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
If Leuer can play like he did one year earlier, when he connected on 49.2 percent of his looks from the field and 46.9 percent of his three-point attempts, he'll absolutely be worth a pick deep in the second round. That gives this trade the potential to be mutually beneficial.
Did the Grizz have a glaring need for another point guard? With Mike Conley, Beno Udrih and (potentially) Nick Calathes on the roster, not particularly. But Andrew Harrison's upside could jump him to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, and it was looking increasingly unlikely that Leuer would fill that big a role at power forward.
Grizzlies Grade: A-
It's hard to get excited about adding a limited guard to a roster that's already filled with backcourt players, even if Calathes (a restricted free agent) doesn't come back. But at least Harrison has enough upside that he could serve as a convincing primary backup to Conley by the end of his rookie season. If acquiring him only took parting ways with Leuer, who clearly didn't have much of a future on Beale Street after the Martin additon, then it was well worth it.
Suns Grade: B-
The Suns needed to find another power forward, and that's exactly what they did. Unfortunately, they're taking a gamble that 2013-14 Leuer is the real deal, not the version we saw in 2014-15. The more recent one would've had trouble making shots while firing away on a hula-hoop-sized rim. Giving up the No. 44 pick isn't a significant loss, but Leuer may not be a significant gain, either.

Juan Vaulet Doesn't Stay Put in Charlotte
Charlotte Hornets Get: Two future second-round picks
Brooklyn Nets Get: No. 39 pick (Juan Vaulet)
As Matt Kamalsky hinted at for DraftExpress.com while profiling Juan Vaulet one day before the 2015 NBA draft, it was surprising the young prospect even kept his name in the pool, and there was significant doubt that he'd avoid going undrafted:
Should Vaulet indeed get drafted, he'll be the first Argentine to hear his name called since Carlos Delfino in 2003 and the first player picked directly from the Argentinian League since 7'7", 400+ pound center Jorge 'Giant' Gonzalez. Gonzalez was drafted by the Hawks before then owner Ted Turner offered him a position with his other sports venture the World Championship Wrestling. Fellow countryman Hernan Montenegro was also picked in that 1988 Draft, just three spots later. Aside from Bruno Cabocloa year ago, few players in recent memory have faced as steep of a rise in quality of competition as the one Vaulet would face making the leap to the NBA from Liga A. Despite that, Vaulet's tools are intriguing, even if he's a long ways away from being a contributor.
Not only did the 19-year-old from Argentina hear his name called, but he was taken just nine picks into the second round by the Charlotte Hornets. Then, he remained relevant when Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Brooklyn Nets had traded two future second-round picks for him.
But chances are, you won't hear Vaulet's name again for a long while.
Hornets Grade: Incomplete
As is the case for other teams that traded for a package including nothing but future draft picks, we have no idea what to expect for the Hornets. They added two more future selections for their No. 39 pick in 2015, but it's unknown where those will fall and how valuable they'll end up being.
Nets Grade: Incomplete
Vaulet came off the bench and played only 17.3 minutes per game for Weber Bahia Estudiantes during the 2014-15 season. Though his numbers were respectable, he wasn't exactly a star, and he was putting up his stats in Argentina's Liga A. The jump to the NBA is going to be far too difficult right now, and he won't surface for at least a few years.

Daniel Diez's Day
Utah Jazz Get: Future second-round pick
Portland Trail Blazers Get: No. 54 pick (Daniel Diez)
Daniel Diez wasn't long for Salt Lake City.
After the Utah Jazz took him with the No. 54 pick of the June 25 proceedings, they almost immediately traded his rights to the Portland Trail Blazers for a future second-round pick, per Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Obviously, this isn't exactly a blockbuster move. That said, it should be noted that Diez may not be a draft-and-stash prospect, as Matt Kamalsky helps explain for DraftExpress.com:
It will be worth keeping an eye on where he winds up playing though, as he's a player who would benefit immensely from another season of heavy playing time in the ACB regardless of how competitive his team is. If he winds up back in Real Madrid, it will be interesting to see what kind of role he's able to carve out. Being a free agent this summer, he could take a flyer on the NBA right away as well.
The 22-year-old Spanish forward spent his 2014-15 season playing for Gipuzkoa BC San Sebastian, and he looked quite good. A consistent marksman from the outside and a contributor on the glass, Diez progressed nicely, leaving hope that he could make the difficult jump to the NBA.
But completing the leap is far from guaranteed.
Jazz Grade: Incomplete
The same story you've been seeing in these situations rings true here. Since the Jazz aren't getting anything other than an unspecified second-round pick in a future draft, we can't possibly know how they're going to fare in this deal.
Blazers Grade: Incomplete
If Diez is able to play right away, the Blazers will receive strong marks for this selection. They'll have added a forward with upside to a thin bench, and that can't be taken for granted when only giving up a future second-round pick. But until we know whether Diez will be playing in the NBA or rejoining Real Madrid, we can't assume anything.
