On Sept. 30, 1962, chaos broke out at the University of Mississippi — also known as Ole Miss — after an African-American man named James Meredith attempted to enroll.
That night, students and other protesters took to the streets, burning cars and throwing rocks at the federal marshals who were tasked with protecting Meredith. By the time the riot was over, observers said the grounds looked like a war zone, and the smell of tear gas hung in the air.
That's not how it was supposed to be, according to Purdue University history professor Frank Lambert. He's the author of The Battle of Ole Miss: Civil Rights v. States' Rights. He was also a sophomore at Ole Miss in 1962. Lambert tells NPR's Tell Me More guest host Celeste Headlee that he had applied to Ole Miss at about the same time as Meredith. Meredith was rejected after he revealed his race. "I was white and James Meredith was black, and in 1961 that made all the difference in Mississippi. I was admitted without any question," Lambert says.
James Meredith's niece, Meredith McGee, says the foundation for Meredith's history-making decision was laid in his childhood. McGee is the author of a forthcoming book about her uncle's experience, James Meredith: Warrior and the America That Created Him.
"He wanted to go to that school before he even knew that he couldn't go because of segregation," she explains.
Meredith's dream was further inspired in 1957, when the Little Rock Nine — a group of African-American students — enrolled in an Arkansas high school with the help and protection of federal troops. As a veteran of the Air Force, Meredith confronted integrating Ole Miss with military discipline. McGee says that her uncle never talked about being afraid of what was happening on campus at the time. "I get the sense from him that he was on a mission. That he was a soldier, and that it was something that had to be done," she explains.
Lambert also got that sense when he spoke to James Meredith himself while researching his book. He describes feeling grief and guilt over the events of 1962. "I was a white student there, of course, everybody was white there, and I never cursed James Meredith, I never picked up a rock. I was probably like the majority of students there: indifferent." He says this was part of the problem. "Indifference in the face of injustice means you are a part of perpetuating that injustice," he points out.
Lambert tried apologizing to Meredith, but was met with a response that surprised him. "He said: 'What does a 19-year-old know? You were dumb, like most 19-year-olds,' " he remembers. That's when Meredith disclosed his notion that "he was a warrior, and that this was a battle," and reiterated that "nobody, black or white, was going to dissuade [him] from [his] warrior mission."
On Oct. 1, 1962, James Meredith began his studies. He required 24-hour protection for his entire time at the university, and went on to become the first African-American to graduate from Ole Miss. But he does not see value in commemorating the event. In a separate discussion with Tell Me More, Meredith said he wants less attention on his achievement, and more on the current state of Mississippi schools.
"The black public education system was specifically, deliberately destroyed over the last 40 years," Meredith said. "It may be all right with some people, but my God is not pleased, and I'm not going to pretend that I'm pleased."
This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Celeste Headlee. Michel Martin is away. Coming up, we bring you up to date with the latest news on stories we've covered and we'll get your thoughts about some of them. That's BackTalk in just a few minutes.
But, first, we mark an important anniversary in civil rights history. Fifty years ago this weekend, chaos broke out at the University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, after an African-American man named James Meredith attempted to enroll.
The violence erupted despite a court order that Meredith be admitted and despite President John F. Kennedy's plea to students and citizens to comply.
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY: The honor of your university and state are in the balance. I am certain the great majority of the students will uphold that honor. There is, in short, no reason why the books on this case cannot now be quickly and quietly closed in the manner directed by the court. Let us preserve both the law and the peace.
HEADLEE: The president ended up sending more than 20,000 troops to restore order after a mob clashed with federal marshals. James Meredith went on to become the first African-American to graduate from Ole Miss.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Meredith's enrollment, I'm joined by James Meredith's niece, Meredith McGee. She's the author of an upcoming book titled "James Meredith: Warrior and the America that Made Him." Also with us, Professor Frank Lambert. He teaches history at Purdue University and wrote the book "The Battle of Ole Miss: Civil Rights v. States' Rights." He was also a student at Ole Miss when James Meredith enrolled.
Welcome to both of you.
FRANK LAMBERT: Thank you.
MEREDITH MCGEE: Thank you.
HEADLEE: So, Meredith, what has your uncle told you about his initial decision to enroll at Ole Miss and how he came to that decision?
MCGEE: I think, at first, he was inspired to go to Ole Miss as a young man when he was maybe 12. He saw a Ole Miss degree on the wall of his father's doctor and he wanted to go to that school before he even knew that he couldn't go because of segregation and I think that he was inspired even more when he was in the military. He came home on a furlough and the Little Rock Nine were integrating, of course, with a military force and that was the other thing.
And then he was also inspired when John F. Kennedy gave his inauguration speech and he gave a civil rights platform that was - the day that he gave the speech is when he wrote his initial draft to become admitted into Ole Miss.
HEADLEE: You know, Professor Lambert, you were there at the school at the time. I understand you played football and came out of your game to see all of this beginning to happen. Can you kind of describe it for us?
LAMBERT: Well, I can. In 1962, I was a sophomore there and one of the interesting things to me, as I reflect on it now from the perspective of a historian, I wrote my letter to Ole Miss seeking admission in 1961, about the same time that James Meredith did. Of course, I did not know that at the time.
Both of us received exactly the same letter from the registrar. We're pleased that you're interested in Ole Miss. Enclosed is an application. Fill it out, send it in. The difference, of course, is that I was white and James Meredith was black and, in 1961, that made all the difference in Mississippi.
I was admitted without any question and, when he identified himself in a follow-up letter, saying you need to know that I am an American Mississippi Negro, that was it. That set in motion an institutionalized response from the governor on down to make sure that he was not admitted to the all-white university.
HEADLEE: Well, let's take a listen. This is from September 29th of 1962 and the voice we're hearing here is the Mississippi governor at the time, Ross Barnett, giving a speech at halftime during your game. Let's hear a clip.
LAMBERT: Oh, I remember it well.
GOVERNOR ROSS BARNETT: I love Mississippi.
BARNETT: I love her people.
BARNETT: Our customs. I love and I respect our heritage.
HEADLEE: So, if you listen back to that without the context, it sounds relatively harmless, but back in 1962, there's an unspoken message there. Right, Frank?
LAMBERT: Exactly. Context is everything. There wasn't a person in that stadium that had any misunderstanding of what he meant about heritage. He had been elected governor by pledging to safeguard segregation and, over and over, he said, as long as I'm governor, the University of Mississippi will never be integrated.
And, incidentally, he left that stadium that night, went back to the governor's mansion, called the Kennedys - and he had already made a deal with them to see that James Meredith was safely enrolled - and he called them and said, the deal's off. I can't do it. I saw those people, those Mississippians. He didn't say all of those white Mississippians, but that's what it was. And he said I cannot go through with the deal. And he called it off.
And that was when President Kennedy called General Creighton Abrams and initiated the military response and decided to send in the military, much the same way as Eisenhower had done at Little Rock.
HEADLEE: You know, Meredith, I have to wonder. You know, I was so interested to read that your uncle, James Meredith, actually went to bed at 10:00 or 10:30 on that night while all of the chaos was ensuing, but he must have been afraid. Do you get the sense from him that he had a sense of fear for his own safety?
MCGEE: Well, I really didn't get a sense that he was afraid. I get the sense from him that he was on a mission, that he was a soldier and that it was something that had to be done. That's the sense that I get from him.
HEADLEE: If you're just joining us, this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Celeste Headlee. James Meredith, the first black student at the University of Mississippi, first enrolled there 50 years ago. We're marking that anniversary by speaking with history professor Frank Lambert, and Meredith's niece, writer Meredith McGee.
And, Meredith, you mentioned that he thought of himself as a soldier and that must be why you titled your book "Warrior," and Professor Lambert has talked about this, as well, the fact that he saw this as a military campaign.
MCGEE: Absolutely. His philosophy was somewhat different from Martin Luther King at that time because, as a military man, he opposed non-violence because he thought that the same thing that happened in Little Rock was the same thing that was going to be necessary to crush the Southern forces in Mississippi that were still maintaining segregation 50 years ago.
HEADLEE: What happened in Little Rock - were you talking about the military intervention?
MCGEE: Yes. And I think he was absolutely right.
HEADLEE: And, Professor Lambert, when you first met James Meredith, this is when you were researching for your book, you told him you still held onto some grief about the incidents in 1962. What happened?
LAMBERT: I did. And not just grief, but quite frankly, guilt. I mean, I was a white student there. Of course, everybody was white there and I never cursed James Meredith. I never picked up a rock. I never did any of that. I was probably, like the majority of the students there, indifferent. And, of course, indifference in the face of injustice means that you are a part of perpetuating that injustice.
So I apologized and said, you know, I feel terrible that, at the time, I never befriended you or tried to befriend you. And he said two things, really interesting to me. He said, number one - he said, how old were you? I said, I was 19. And, of course, he was 29 at the time because he had spent a career in the Air Force. And he said, what does a 19-year-old know? You know, you were dumb, like most 19-year-olds. And, indeed, I was. I was much more interested in that ball game on the 29th than anything else.
But then he said, the second thing is, had you tried to befriend me, you would have gotten nowhere. And that's when he disclosed his notion that he was, in Meredith's words, a warrior and that this was a battle and he had a three-pronged strategy that was just fascinating to me. Number one, he said that he was going to make sure that everything he did was in the full glare of publicity. The KKK and the institutionalized racists in Mississippi always operated under the cloak of secrecy and darkness and what have you and he was going to bring all of that out into the glare of light.
Secondly, he said that he was not going to attempt to desegregate Ole Miss without the full support of the federal government. He said, otherwise, it's suicide. I mean, Barnett had all the power. And he said, I had to have countervailing power. And he said, the third thing is I determined that nobody, black or white, was going to dissuade me from my warrior mission and he said that's why, if you had tried to befriend me, you would not have gotten anywhere.
And he carried that out. I mean, the guy was very disciplined and he carried out that mission to a T, quite frankly, and I can't imagine the courage that that took because I know what the opposition was all about.
HEADLEE: Well, we reached out to him, too - James Meredith - to talk about the 50th anniversary of integrating Ole Miss. He declined to speak with us for this interview, but he did want to talk about some of his main concerns in Mississippi today.
JAMES MEREDITH: The black public education system was specifically, deliberately destroyed over the last 40 years and, you know, it may be all right with some people, but my God is not pleased and I'm not going to pretend that I'm pleased.
HEADLEE: Meredith, can you help us understand what he means here, why we shouldn't be seeing this anniversary as necessarily a victory?
MCGEE: Well, it is not a victory in terms of education because now we have resegregation in public schools. They have declined drastically. You have a very, very high high school dropout rate. You know, the equality of education is just - it has declined. Overcrowded classrooms, teachers are not paid enough and they are not prepared for college.
HEADLEE: Right. And yet, Professor Lambert, we can't forget the importance of what James Meredith did. How do you think we should understand him and his actions 50 years later?
LAMBERT: Well, I think what he did was extremely important and I would say that he won the battle. Now, he will quickly add that he did not win the war, but he won the battle and it was an extremely important battle. I mean, the fact that, the last I read, something like 13 percent of the student body at Ole Miss is black - is an unbelievable...
HEADLEE: Sixteen point five percent is the...
LAMBERT: Is that what it is?
HEADLEE: ...number that we got from Ole Miss. Yeah.
LAMBERT: You know, I mean, that is a tremendous step forward. To follow up on something that Meredith just said about the resegregation in Mississippi, it seems to me that - and I think this contributes directly to what James is talking about - and that is the rise of all of the so-called Christian academies in Mississippi. Excuse me, but I call them segregation academies.
HEADLEE: A way to resegregate the schools, so meaning that the battle continues, or at least the war.
LAMBERT: No question.
HEADLEE: That's Professor Frank Lambert, author of "The Battle of Ole Miss: Civil Rights v. States' Rights." He teaches history at Purdue University, joined us from NPR member station WUOT in Tennessee. We also spoke with Meredith McGee, who is James Meredith's niece. Her book, "James Meredith: Warrior and the America that Made Him," will be out at the end of October. She joined us from Mississippi Public Broadcasting.
Thanks so much to both of you.
LAMBERT: Thank you.
MCGEE: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

After re-watching Band of Brothers over the long Christmas weekend, I watched The Pacific over the long New Years weekend. Definitely very different shows, which I'm chalking up to the differences in source material. The books that were used to create The Pacific were both written by soldiers that served in the Pacific theater of war and focused much more on what the soldiers went through and less on the overarching objectives of the US armed forces.
I still prefer Band of Brothers since the pacing is a bit quicker and it ties in better to the historical record, but The Pacific was also quite excellent.

Editor's note: These offers are expired. Visit our reviews of the best credit cards to find the right card for you.
In a sea of credit card offers that boast endless rewards and low interest rates, it can be difficult to reel in the perfect card for your needs. Sometimes the best way to decide is to let your credit score choose for you.
People with great credit can get better interest rates and the best offerings when it comes to rewards if they apply for cards aimed at those with excellent credit. On the other hand, it is important for those with less-than-stellar credit to apply for credit cards they have the best chance of being approved for, as applying for multiple credit cards can lower your credit score even further.
While all credit scoring models differ, a "great" or "excellent" credit score is usually above 750 and "good" credit scores are around 700. An "average" credit score is considered to be around 650, and anything below a 600 credit score usually falls in the "bad"category.
Note that even if your credit score falls in the desired credit score range for the credit cards cited below, this does not necessarily mean you will be approved. Your chances of being approved are still very good, however it is important to keep in mind that factors besides credit score go into approval decisions and each issuer may use different scoring models.
Not sure what your credit score is? You can get your credit scores for free by signing up for a credit report monitoring service here. Though most of these credit report monitoring services provide scores from the CreditXpert model, we found that these are a close approximation of the FICO scores that many credit card issuers often use.
Whether you have excellent credit or your score is hovering at the end of the spectrum, here are the best credit cards for your credit score:
Best Credit Cards for Excellent Credit:
Citi Simplicity® Card
The Citi Simpilicity Card is one of our overall top choices for credit cards thanks to its 18 month 0% intro APR, which is the longest interest-free period for both purchases and balance transfers that we've seen in a card. This credit card has no late fees or penalty rates, plus there is no annual fee. People with excellent credit looking to make large purchases or complete a balance transfer will really benefit from the long interest-free period on the card. In general, you can't go wrong with this one.
Barclay Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard
If you have great credit and love to travel, this credit card has the best travel rewards around. Cardholders can earn 2 miles per dollar spent on all purchases with no mileage caps or foreign transaction fees. Plus, you will earn 40,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days, which is equivalent to $400 worth of travel. As if that weren't enough, when you use your earned miles to pay for travel, you will get 5% of the miles back. For those who want to keep an eye on their credit score and make sure it stays in good-standing, this card also provides complimentary FICO scores. There is an annual fee of $89, but it's waived the first year. Cardholders also get a 12-month 0% intro APR on balance transfers made within the first 45 days of account opening (with a 3% balance transfer fee).
Best Credit Cards for Good Credit:
Chase Freedom®
Usually cards with perks like these are reserved for those with excellent credit, but not the Chase Freedom card. This card features a 0% introductory APR for the first 15 months, a $150 cash back bonus after spending $500 in the first 3 months and no annual fee. In addition, cardholders will earn unlimited 5% cash back in categories that rotate quarterly and 1% cash back on all other purchases. Not only will this card help you save money on interest, but you can essentially earn money while you shop.
Slate® from Chase
Chase Slate is the best-rated balance transfer card for people with good or excellent credit. Unlike most credit cards, there is no balance transfer fee, and cardholders will get 0% intro APR on both purchases and balance transfers for a whopping 15 months. There is no annual fee either, so you can start saving money on interest for free!
Best Credit Card for Average Credit
Barclay Rewards Mastercard® – Average Credit
Just because you have average credit doesn't mean you have to miss out on earning rewards while you shop. The Barclay Rewards Mastercard for average credit earns users 2 points per $1 on gas, grocery, and utility purchases and 1 point per $1 everywhere else. This card reports to all three major credit bureaus monthly, which provides a great opportunity to rebuild your credit score, and you will also get complimentary FICO scores so you can see how your credit is doing. Plus, there is no annual fee.
Best Credit Card for Bad Credit:
Capital One® Secured Mastercard®
This secured credit card gives those with bad credit an opportunity to fix their credit score dilemma. With secured credit cards, users put down a security deposit when they are approved for the card, so it is hard to be turned down for a secured card, regardless of your credit score. Don't let the name "secured credit card" fool you – it looks and works like any other credit card so no one but you needs to know it's a secured card. The Capital One Secured Mastercard reports to the three credit bureaus, so if you make your payments on time, you can help improve your credit score with good payment behavior. After using the card responsibly and boosting your credit score, you may eventually be eligible for an unsecured credit card.

Sounds all scientific and even believable. But the contents of a paintball are largely uncompressable. The gas pressure at the back of the ball is equally distributed and imparted on the uncompressible liquid fill which in turn pushes on the front of the shell. This all dictates that the paintball remains round. Tom Kaye has claimed high speed photography not showing deformation. I tend to beleive him, and his results coupled with the nature of the forces seem to point to a round paintball.Originally posted by Paladin
On the roundness of paint in barrels:
Not entirely true as it does not take into account the distortion of the ball as it is compressed from front to rear by the g-forces of acceleration. This causes it to tighten against the side wall of the launch tube and create friction at the sides which adds to the distortion into a cylindrical shape for at least part of its travel down the tube.
But that's all beside the point. What's the magical difference between open and closed bolt? In the barrel the forces are identical.
What's the magical optimisation that will help closed bolt operation? While I respect what PPS does with markers, valves, and regulators, no hint is given here as to what magic the elves are supposed to be accomplishing. What optimisation should have been done? Why shouldn't the same optimisations be done to the open bolt?On the WARPIG experiment:
No, that is not what it proved at all. That test only proved to me that the gun was not tuned properly to maximize the potential of true closed bolt operation. If the gun was not optimized for best results in one mode, it isn't hard to see why it would show similar results in another mode.
If you read the test descrition it seems to me the firing was separate from the chambering. In fact it would seem the gun was operated as a 'bolt action'. Meaning that any claims this wasn't 'TRUE CLOSED-BOLT' are somewhat far-fetched.The only "FACT" shown is that THAT gun on that day did not show a benifit to closed bolt operation. On the other hand, if the same bolt/hammer arrangement was used for both tests (closed and open bolt firing) the results would have to be the same. True closed bolt operation requires that the chambering cycle be completely seperate from the firing cycle. Bolt and hammer operating independantly. Open-bolt firing puts chambering of the round and firing it in the same move.
What's the magical rest time that a ball needs to recover from the 'abuse' from the bolt? Leading to the question of at what point does closed bolt, if you beleive it has an advantage, become the same as open-bolt?
Where's the proof that the bolt deforms the ball so as to affect consistency?
A barrel can only be "better" if it is different than the one it is being compared to and the best barrel for a "closed-bolt" firing gun may not be the best barrel for the same gun operating in "open-bolt" mode.
What's the magical force that makes the barrel requirements different? What are the differences that do make a barrel better?

DURHAM, N.C. - Freshman right-hander Michael Matuella threw five scoreless innings in his first career start, leading the Duke baseball team to a 8-1 victory over Penn Wednesday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field. Matuella (1-0) earned the first win of his career Wednesday as the Great Falls, Va., native allowed just four hits while striking out two.
After a 1-2-3 top of the first, the Blue Devils scored three runs in the bottom of the first and never looked back. Senior right fielder Jeff Kremer went 4-for-4 at the plate, tying a career high with four hits, while sophomore Andy Perez turned in a 2-for-4 outing, registering two RBI and a run scored as well.
"I give a ton of credit to Michael Matuella," said head coach Chris Pollard. "He had a great start, and getting a great start on the mound it allows you to relax. Michael came out and had a great top of the first and Andy Perez had a good at bat in the bottom of the first to set the tone right from the beginning. We came out with a very aggressive mindset. A lot of credit for that goes to Matuella and the start that he had. He really controlled the game in nearly every phase. He was in the zone and he was aggressive to contact and all day long."
Duke wasted little time putting runs on the board as the Blue Devils scored three in the bottom of the first for an early lead. Perez and Kremer began the frame with back-to-back singles before Perez scored from third on an errant pickoff throw to first. After a walk to third baseman Jordan Betts, two more runs would cross the plate on a Chris Marconcini double down the right field line.
The Blue Devils opened the game up in the bottom of the six, utilizing three walks and two hit batters to plate four runs. Marconcini was hit by a pitch with one out to start the rally and would later score after two walks and second hit batter. After five straight free passes, Perez sent a sac fly to center for the third run of the inning. Kremer then finished off the frame with an RBI single to right center, his fourth hit on the day.
Trailing 7-0, Penn scored its first and only run of the game after three straight singles in the top of the eighth. Sophomore Remy Janco came on to record the final two outs of the inning before giving way to classmate Andrew Istler, who pitched a scoreless ninth.
"I thought we did a good job of pitching to contact," Pollard said. "I thought [Chase] Bebout came in and had a really good outing in relief and Remy did his job against a left hander. Istler had a very good inning there to close things out."
Duke recorded its final run of the ball game in the eighth as designated hitter Mark Lumpa scored from second with two outs on a Perez infield single.
Jeff McGarry (0-2) suffered the loss for the Quakers, allowing three runs on six hits in 5.1 innings of work. Catcher Austin Bossart was a perfect 3-for-3 on the day while first baseman Spencer Branigan went 2-for-3 to lead the Quakers' offense.
The Blue Devils open the ACC slate this weekend, traveling to Coral Gables, Fla., for a three-game set against No. 24 Miami. Game one will take place Friday at 7 p.m.

I like your mock. You're shoring' up the lines - long overdue.
This is just a mock that I had a little fun with, after looking at what trades could possibly happen.
I don't like the ideas floating around about getting rid of Dorsey, so I thought of another possible scenario that let us keep him, and still trade back to pick up an additional 2nd rounder. This is just one scenario which ran through my head. I still like the idea of staying at 11 and nabbing Decastro or Martin, or not trading back as far and still grabbing one of those two. Reality is that where we set is prime for trades, and usually a-lot of movement happens between picks 11-20 so here we go…
TRADE!! Chicago Bears trade 1st (19th) and 2nd (51st) round picks to KC for #11 overall pick
[11 overall (points- 1,250) ] vs [19(875pts) + 51 (390) = 1265]
Phil Emery throws Pioli a bone for putting him in a position to land the GM job with Chicago. Emery realizes the Bears are in dire need of O-line help and a play-making WR and could be a playoff contender if they land an impact player at one or both of these positions. #11 overall could land them a play-maker at either position. And with 4 picks in the first 3 rounds they can afford to loose one in order to move up and get a better talent than they could at 19.
Round 1 • Pick 19:
Cordy Glenn- OG | Georgia
6'5" • 345 lbs
A few things that will stand out to Pioli about Glenn: Size, Durability, Experience, Versatility, and played in the SEC. Glenn has 49 career starts for the Bulldogs including 28 at LG, 4 at RG, and 17 at LT. The option to have Glenn as a swing player on our line at any position excluding center will be hard for Pioli to pass up. He has never missed a game due to injury while at Georgia. If Johnathan Martin is here, he may opt to take him, but if not, Pioli will go for the #2 overall interior lineman in spite of the #4-5 overall OT which we could land in round 2.
Round 2A • Pick 12 (44 overall):
Zebrie Sanders- OT | Florida State
6'6" • 320lbs
There's a trend already in this years draft: Stabilize the O-line with Versatility. And I now have us landing the #5 overall OT! Sanders has also been a starter since his true freshman year, and has experience playing at both LOT and ROT. Intangibles are through the roof with high character grades, and a good work ethic. Durable player who hasn't missed any games due to injury as well. With Glenn and Sanders both coming to our O-line we will be set with options and different line combos for years to come.
Side Note: Pioli more than likely has taken a look at this guy last year after drafting fellow Seminole Rodney Hunson, so he should have plenty of research to go off of when scouting him.
Round 2B • Pick 18 (50 overall):
Josh Chapman- NT | Alabama
6'1" • 318lbs
Chapman has been an under-the-radar stud for the Crimson tide with colorful prospects like Marcell Darius and Terrance Cody over-shadowing him. Chapman however comes from a 3-4 system that breeds NFL defensive lineman via Nick Saban and has been groomed to play a 3-4 NT. Chapman was the team's strongest player as early as his red-shirt freshman season, owning a 480 pound bench press in 2008. He left Alabama benching closer to 580 pounds, according to the Alabama strength and conditioning staff and has a 630-pound squat when healthy. There has been recent news that Chapman played a majority of this past season with a torn ACL, which has wowed scouts by displaying his toughness and dedication to the game (something Pioli likes). This injury may cause him to drop on draft boards and we could possibly get him in rounds 4-5.
Round 3 • Pick 11 (75 Overall):
Laderius Green- TE | Louisiana Lafayette
6'6" • 238lbs
Green is one of the most athletic TE's in this years class. He posted a 4.53, 40 time which ranked him as the 2nd fastest TE in this years group as well as a top performer in the broad jump, and 20 yd shuttle. Green was view out of high school as a tall but slower WR, which didn't garner a lot of attention from big schools. He has since became a TE and bulked up. With Moeaki's injury showing we have absolutely no options behind him, and Maneri moving from tackle to Blocking-TE, Green is the type of play-maker we need to add at TE, who could potentially become a big threat to defenses trying to match up with him using a LB.
Round 4 • Pick12 (108 overall):
Vick Ballard- RB | Mississippi State
5'11" • 220lbs
Ballard could be a versatile option that could give us the thunder to Charles' lightning. @ 5"10" 220 he is similar in size to TJ, and is an inside runner that is capable to break a long run, and catch the ball out of the backfield as well as capable in pass protection. It seems as though TJ is on his way out, and there are no signs of bringing back Jackie Battle either. I still think they look to FA and bring in a guy like Tolbert or Green-Ellis, but Ballard would be a nice option as well. If not Ballard, a guy like Branden Boldin from Ole Miss would be an option as well.
Round 5 • Pick11 (139 overall):
Jerry Franklin- ILB | Arkansas
5'11" • 220lbs
Although I love Belcher and his story, we will be in search of another talented Inside Linebacker to push him for playing time, and develop. Franklin is fast, and athletic and Has led the team in tackles and started all but one game at MLB for the Razorbacks since his red-shirt Freshman season (leading tackler 4years in a row!) Pioli likes those guys with lots of experience out of the SEC and Franklin is one of them.
Round 6 • Pick12 (172 overall):
Ryan Broyels- WR | Oklahoma
5'11" • 220lbs
Similar to McCluster, Broyles stands at 5'10" 192lbs (slightly bigger) With McCluster moving into the backfield, we still need a slot receiver that can work with space, but also has straight line speed to take the top off the D. Broyles would fill that need, as well as the added dynamic of the return game, which looked promising with arenas and McCluster, has yet to produce much. Broyles is a top level talent that is described as being a "polished" receiver who runs excellent routes. Broyles could have been projected as a 2nd-4th round talent, but is recovering from an ACL tear and has dropped his stock. With the potential being as high as it is, the 6th round risk is worth the potential reward he could bring to our offense.
Round 7A • Pick11 (203 overall):
Markus Zusevics- OT | Iowa
6'5" • 300lbs
The versatility theme of this draft is resurrected: Pioli has taken at least one Iowa player in each of the last 2 drafts (Moeaki and Stanzi) and with the connection to Ferrentz, I think we will hear plenty of chatter that Riely Reiff may land with us in round 1…However I think Reiff will be off the board by the time we pick, which brings me to the next Iowa player I could see on our team. Zusevics is considered a self-made lineman, who worked extremely hard to get to where he is. Scouting reports have him listed as a versatile player that would fit best at Guard, but has the possibility to play OT as well. Pioli loves hard nosed versatile lineman, and would love to add another Iowa prospect to our roster capable of playing either OT or OG. Zusevics is graded as a 4th-6th round talent and tore his pectoral muscle during the bench press at this weekends scouting combine. Again we take a low risk (7th round pick) high reward: developmental prospect who will work hard, and be a swing lineman capable of lining up at multiple positions.
Round 7B • Pick 31 (223 overall | From New England):
Sean Richardson- S | Vanderbilt
6'5" • 300lbs
The injury to Eric Berry has shown our lack of depth at the safety position. Richarson has played both SS and FS, and has a similar hard nosed style to Berry, with elite level size and speed. Is noted as a leader on the defensive side of the ball. Needs to improve in man coverage a bit, but with the ability to play both positions we can't not add the depth and attempt to develop him. Side Note: Played behind Current Chiefs Safety Reshard Langford his freshman year.

I like your draft and it would make the chiefs a much more competitive team.
I don't know that there is enough plus there for the bears, to want to make a trade like this.
Blackmon will almost definitely be gone at 11. CBS Sports ranks Michael Floyd at 13 and Kendall Wright at 15. Then the next best WR is projected to go around 36 (Sanu).
So there would definitely be an incentive for the Bears to make the trade.
I like it. It would help both of my favorite teams!

Another trade partner would be Cincinatti. They have two late 1st rounders. They may be interested in Trent Richardson or one of the top 2-3 CBs if either of them fall to us.
One thing I would change in yuor mock (depending on how free agency works out for us) would be that I would go after Dontari Poe with your 2a pick (but from his recent display at the combine, I doubt he will make it out of the 1st round) or maybe combine the 2 2nd rounders to move up to get him.
who ever said tske rb richardson i would be pist off if we tske him and i bet he is there at 11 but we dont need him. oline oline oline or NT.
The main thing with this trade would be that they would more than likely want DeCastro or Floyd, so we would have to give up the idea of DeCastro, but after researching Glenn I could really see Pioli liking that kid.
I do like the idea of a possible trade with Cincy.. We could essentially do a similar trade seeing as their first pick is at 17
The bears DO need help on their O-line for depth--They were devastated by injuries at those positions last year--but not with their first pick. Their only decent WR is Johnny Knox and he isn't great and he broke his back at the end of last year, so who knows what he will be like this year.

The Delaware Children's Museum opens its first big traveling exhibit,"The Wizard of Oz" this weekend. Families will get to interact with Dorothy and Glinda the Good Witch while playing with bubbles, finding out how the Wicked Witch melts, making rainbows and more.
Dorothy Gale has clicked her ruby-red heels but, instead of going home to Kansas, she will find herself residing in Delaware through the end of January. She, Glinda the Good Witch, Tin Man and more of the "artifacts" of Dorothy's time in Oz will be in Wilmington thanks to the Delaware Children's Museum's new exhibit, "The Wizard of Oz."
"We've been open for four years now and, of course, we've been doing exhibits and fun activities but this is our first huge exhibit," said DCM Associate Director of Marketing and Communications Nicole Kindbeiter. "So, we decided to take the training wheels off, so to speak, with something fun, exciting and timely."
The classic Warner Bros film, which debuted in 1939, will hit a major milestone in October—its 75th anniversary. Exhibits and celebrations have been planned all over the country, making DCM's acquisition of the exhibit an important achievement.
"We were so lucky to get it," said Kindbeiter, explaining that the traveling show was put together by the Miami Children's Museum. "Before us, it was in Port Discovery in Baltimore and after us, it will go to Fort Worth, I believe."
The 2,500 square foot exhibit boasts interactive, multi-sensory explorations and experiments that are deceptively educational.
The programming has made DCM Director of Education Jennifer Bush especially excited.
"The 'Wizard of Oz' exhibition is not only an interactive experience for families to explore but it also allows us to engage children and families in fun, STEM-based programming," Bush said. "From experimenting with bubbles of different shapes in 'Bubble-ometry' to testing out the dissolving properties behind different substances in 'Melt the Witch."
Kindbeiter echoed Bush's excitement about the programming, adding that the staff has been trying out the experiments as they come in.
"We got to test out a great one that pays homage to the hot air balloon that takes Dorothy home that's so amazing," Kindbeiter said. "Using trash bags and birthday candles, kids will get to make a working hot air balloon that they'll also get to take home."
To celebrate the opening of the exhibit, even more activities are planned just for this weekend:
9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. $2 off general admission for Wizard of Oz costumes. Visit the exhibit as any "Wizard of Oz" character, from the Wicked Witch of the West or her flying monkeys to Munchkins, Glinda or Dorothy. Just pick your favorite!
9a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Wizard of Oz Scavenger Hunt—Look high, look low, and follow the yellow brick road. Go on a Museum-wide scavenger hunt for iconic Wizard of Oz props. Find them all and turn in your completed scavenger hunt to the Admissions Desk for a small prize!
10 to 10:30 a.m.; 3:30 – 4 p.m. Tin Man Freeze Dance—Can you dance? Can you jive? Can you twirl around and jump real high? Only if you remember to bring your oil can! Break out your best moves on the dance floor, but when the music stops you better freeze.
11 a.m. to 12 p.m.; 2 to 3 p.m. Bubble-ometry—Have you ever seen a square bubble? What about a triangular bubble? And could a bubble really carry you away? Learn about the science behind Glinda's bubbles!
11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday only Meet-And Greet with Dorothy and Friends—Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, and Director Daniel Schmitt, from the Delaware Children's Theatre's upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz (opening Saturday, November 23) will stop by to stroll along DCM's "Yellow Brick Road," stopping along the way to pose for pictures and chat with guests. Cameras welcome.
12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Catch a Rainbow—Explore the properties of rainbows with explosive chemical reactions involving milk, dish soap, and food coloring.
Another bonus of the exhibit coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the release of the movie is DCM's partnership with Penn Cinema Riverfront, which will be showing the newly released "The Wizard of Oz: An IMAX 3D Experience." The partnership means a joint discount for patrons who purchase a ticket to both the movie and the exhibit.
"We all went to see it this week and I forgot what an amazing movie it really is," Kindbeiter said. "It's especially amazing when you consider that the movie wasn't originally formatted for 3D."
The temporary traveling exhibit will be at DCM through Sunday, January 26. "Wizard of Oz" activities have been scheduled through October so far. For more information on the activities, the exhibit or admission costs, visit www.delawarechildrensmuseum.org.

Group cites economic benefit, creation of 24K jobs in Missouri in 2014
The Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce is joining another Kirksville business development organization in backing Gov. Jay Nixon's plan to expand Medicaid and take advantage of additional federal funding.
The Chamber announced its support in a press release Friday, saying that the board had voted to endorse the expansion, citing billions of dollars it will bring back to Missouri and benefit businesses and families with Medicaid tax dollars.
"It makes sense, from an economic standpoint, for Missouri to expand our current Medicaid program, accept federal funding and bring our tax dollars back home to cover the cost of the expansion," said Sandra G. Williams, executive director of the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce.
The local Chamber is joining the Kirksville Regional Economic Development, Inc., which primarily focuses on local industrial development, in backing the measure with both entities focusing on the economic impacts.
The Chamber cited a University of Missouri report from 2012 that estimated the expansion would create 24,000 new Missouri jobs in 2014 alone. The expansion is also estimated to bring $5.7 billion back to Missouri.
Nixon, who was in Kirksville in early 2013 to generate support for the plan in conjunction with the federal Affordable Care Act, said he believes expanding Medicaid is good for business and good for Missourians.
"I appreciate the endorsement of the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce in supporting this smart business decision to bring our dollars home, and to support the economies of rural Missouri," Nixon said in the press release.

NEW YORK – College Sports Madness recently released its 2013 All-Ivy League Preseason Teams and four Columbia student-athletes were recognized. Senior midfielder David Najem and sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Jackson headlined the selections with first team nods, while senior forward Henning Sauerbier and sophomore midfielder Antonio Matarazzo picked up second team honors.
Najem, a three-time All-Ivy League selection (second team twice, honorable mention once), will return for his senior campaign in the role of captain for the second consecutive season. A crucial component to the Lions' midfield, Najem has posted 15 points in his career and played the second-most minutes on the 2012 squad.
Coming off an All-Ivy League honorable mention season in which he was named Rookie of the Week four times, Jackson returns to man the Columbia goalkeeping duties. As a first-year, Jackson recorded three shutouts and a 0.95 GAA, leading Columbia to four wins while he was in net.
An impact player since joining the Lions in 2010, Sauerbier has also been recognized by the Ivy League each season of his career. The conference Rookie of the Year in 2010, he has since picked up All-Ivy League second team and honorable mention accolades. With two goals and five points last season, he tied for the team-high in both categories.
In his first year in Columbia blue, Matarazzo scored once and assisted on another, while also playing a team-leading 1,345 minutes as part of the Lions' strong midfield. He started all 16 games as a first-year, en route to All-Ivy League honorable mention honors.
Columbia will open the season in Omaha, Neb., taking on 2012 Final Four participant Creighton on Sep. 6. The Lions' home-opener is slated for Sep. 14 at the Columbia Soccer Stadium against Iona at 4 p.m.

The community came out in force to support the Kimball Camp YMCA Nature Center Annual Auction Monday night at Johnny T�s Next Door in Hillsdale.
Director Harold Campbell said proceeds go toward camperships for children attending the camp on Long Lake Road near Reading.
A silent auction featuring artwork, tools, sports memorabilia, gift certificates and more started at 5:30 p.m. with the auction by Sprunger Auctioneers starting an hour later.
Office Manager Janet Miller said there were 182 items donated by area businesses for the silent auction. Last year the overall auction raised $13,000 and in year�s past the average raised has been around $10,000, Miller said.
�There are a lot of businesses that participate every year,� Miller said. �They are very good to us.�
Miller said by 6:30 p.m. there were 66 who had signed in for the auction, obtaining numbers in order to bid on everything from a large Crescent tool kit to candy bars and dog food. There were even tickets to tour an alligator sanctuary in Athens.
Raffle tickets were sold for a chance to win an Apple I Pad 4 at $10 each with a maximum of 200 tickets sold. Also available were 50/50 tickets at $20 each for a T-shirt and a chance to win $200.
Upon seeing Detroit Lions memorabilia at the silent auction, Sarah Jackson of Hillsdale said she quickly called her boyfriend, a Lions fan, to let him know about the autographed football on display.
�I know the Campbells and I come every year,� Jackson said. �It�s something I look forward to doing since there�s always a lot to bid on.�
Others milling about the auction items were Liz Grigsby with her 2-year-old daughter, Piper, who had fun weaving around the crowd.
�She may be a future camper at Kimball Camp,� said her mother.
Bob and Ruth Martin returned from Florida to attend the auction, while Joe and Christine Levak said they try to attend annually.
Camp Program Director Amanda Norris said the event �turned out a good sized crowd� and it was fun to see the kids recruited to help hold items up as the auctioneering took place.�The memories they create at camp are something they will remember the rest of their lives,� Norris said. �I�ve had grandparents tell me they have pictures of themselves having fun at camp, which brings up my own memories of camp when I was a kid.�
Miller said the camp can�t thank the community enough for its generosity to help make childhood camp memories special.

Huskers Visit Hospitals for 20th Straight Year
Randy York's N-Sider
Maybe it's a coincidence and maybe it isn't. But Nebraska football's annual Thanksgiving visits to Lincoln hospitals started in the same year that the Huskers went on a 60-and-3, 3-national championship run that produced the greatest five consecutive year stretch in college football history.
Somehow, the human touch and personal connection of seeing someone in a hospital room the day before Thanksgiving helps players see the world from a different perspective. Instead of having people cheer for them, football players cheer for the patients, learning an important lesson in the process - the best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else up.
And that's exactly what happened Wednesday when 82 Huskers took buses from Memorial Stadium to four Lincoln hospitals - Nebraska Heart Hospital, St. Elizabeth's Regional, Madonna Rehab and Bryan LGH (East), marking consecutive year No. 20 of Thanksgiving hospital visits that started when Tom Osborne was Nebraska's head coach.
Since the visits include players from all grade levels, we have feedback from all levels - senior tight end Ben Cotton from Ames, Iowa; junior cornerback Ciante Evans from Arlington, Texas; sophomore running back Braylan Heard from Youngstown, Ohio; and freshman tight end Trey Foster from Lincoln (Southeast), Neb.
Ben Cotton: The Most Emotional Husker Senior
Not surprisingly, the most enthusiastic Husker we found was Cotton, the most emotional senior we saw taking his last Unity Walk to the North Stadium last Saturday on Senior Day.
"Being able to go to Madonna the last few years and see some of these people struggling with things that we can't even imagine is important to me," Cotton said. "When you see people working hard every day to just simply be able to walk reminds all of us how lucky we are to be able to do what we do. It's pretty cool to go in there and put smiles on faces and help brighten their day and maybe even give them a little motivation to keep working hard and get back on their feet.
"An experience like this is really special for a lot of us," Cotton said. "It makes me even more thankful for my family, my teammates, our coaches and everyone involved with this program, whether it's athletics, academics or life skills. These hospital visits makes you thankful for being able to live your life freely compared to what a lot of people have to deal with.
"Being a Type 1 Diabetic myself, I've always wanted to be able to do things in the community, and that's been my focus since high school. Life Skills has broadened that and made all these opportunities available," Cotton said. "It teaches you how to handle scheduling, communicate with people and take requests from people you meet. I love reading to elementary school kids, delivering gifts and all sorts of stuff that we do, thanks to (Associate Athletic Director) Keith Zimmer and his staff. They make it all possible. We're just college kids, and it would be pretty difficult for us to try to handle everything that they line up for us. We're very fortunate to have the resources we have, so we can give back as much as we do."
Ciante Evans: Giving Back Opens Up Your Mind
Evans said when he arrived at Nebraska from Texas he wondered what kind of impact he might have on others. "It's special going out and giving back to the community," he said. "It makes you thankful for all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon you. As the years go by and you learn to give back, it really opens up your mind. You look up to older guys and younger guys look up to you.
"Whether you describe it as a leader or not, when someone looks up to you, you want to do the things that they're doing and accomplish the things that they're accomplishing," Evans said. "It's not just about your football life. It's about your everyday life. What are you doing outside of football to make you better? Once people see you step out into the community, the younger guys want to follow. At least that's how I think of it."
Braylan Heard: Hospital Visit Touches His Heart
Heard does not disagree. "This event touches my heart because we're giving back," he said. "When you get so much handed to you, it's good to give back. Patients tell you they look up to us, and they enjoy watching us play."
That, in turn, makes Heard more thankful for his own family, plus "my teammates and coaches and everyone around me. I'm thankful for everyone that's part of my life I'm thankful for. Coming from the city I'm from, I've always wanted to give back. So I kind of came here with that mindset a little bit, but Life Skills has definitely helped me take that up several notches."
Trey Foster: We're Playing for Our Community
According to Foster, the freshman, lifting the spirits of people going through tough times "warms my heart because when we got to the hospital, the patients were already in good spirits and all excited for Thanksgiving," he said. "Seeing people get ready to see their families makes you thankful for much more than that.
"I used to just say hi to people, and they would appreciate my presence. Now it's turned into so much more," Foster said. "I've realize that without our community and our fans, there isn't much that we would be playing for. Giving back is a necessary thing, regardless whether we're having a good season or a bad one. Having your community behind you is a top priority."
Everson: Visit Teaches a Powerful Lesson
Austen Everson, Nebraska football's Director of High School Relations, relishes a freshman who understands the value of life skills and community commitment. As a staff member who plays a key role coordinating all of Nebraska's on-campus recruiting, Everson immersed himself into the players' experiences Wednesday.
"I went to Madonna Rehab and so many of the patients we visited are affected by accidents that we hear about every day," he said. "The news is filled with car accidents, illnesses and other conditions that take away motor skills and leave patients unable to carry on normally. These visits make the news stories real for all of us. Their lives will never be the same, and it's powerful to know that we're not invincible. So often in athletics, we think nothing can affect our performance. But a visit like today makes everyone thankful to be healthy and capable of performing."
The hospital visits "tend to refocus our players on how blessed they are to be in their position," Everson said. "They're elite athletes, but they also have a responsibility to give back and help make other people's day brighter just by being around. Our athletes are heroes to so many, and it's really important to have our younger players realize this first-hand. They see how a quick hello or a high-five can make a kid's day or week."
Nebraska Life Skills is a Daily Mindset
Everson sees Nebraska Life Skills as a daily mindset. "I think it's about 'paying it forward,'" Everson said. "Life skills encompass so much, but the community service aspect is something that should be thought about daily. We all have opportunities to positively affect the lives of others each and every day, sometimes in little ways, sometimes in big. Life Skills just helps make these big opportunities possible."
On the day before Thanksgiving, Everson is thankful for his family in Tennessee and the ones that have become his family in Lincoln. "I'm thankful for the opportunities I've been given and the ones that will continue to arise," he said. "I'm thankful that the Lord has blessed me with ability and that He gives me an arena to use my talents."

PEBBLE BEACH - The Beach Boys' Mike Love is riding his Little Deuce Coupe out of Pebble Beach, putting his home for sale for $5.8 million.
Love, the lyricist for "California Girls" and "Fun, Fun, Fun," has owned the property with his wife, Jacqueline, since 2002.
The home has seven bedrooms, six baths and is 8,995 square feet, according to its listing on Redfin.com.
The singer's property on the 3000 block of Flavin Lane has had $6.6 million in total land and improvements, according the Monterey County Assessor's office.
The Mediterranean-style home has views of Point Lobos and has a theater, wine room and outdoor kitchen, according to the listing.
Redfin communications specialist Ramses Alvarez said the home was listed for $6.8 million in 2011, dropped to $5.9 million in February 2012 and then was taken off the market.
He said it went up for sale again in January last year for $5.9 million but went off the market two months later. It reappeared Wednesday.
Fellow Beach Boy Al Jardine lives in Big Sur, near where the Pfeiffer Ridge fire burned in December.
He did not need to evacuate but went to community meetings to support friends and neighbors who had lost their homes.
"You just have to be a good listener," he told The Herald at the time.
The Beach Boys' last studio album, "That's Why God Made the Radio," was released in 2012.
Mike Love and Jardine (in special appearances) are on tour this summer, according to Rolling Stone magazine. The band is scheduled to play Monday in Moorhead, Minn

A mid-morning fire at 12499 Jute Road, outside of Neosho, was contained to the garage area.
A mid-morning fire at 12499 Jute Road, outside of Neosho, was contained to the garage area.
"The fire was actually in the attic, above the garage," said Brad Morris, battalion chief with Neosho Fire Department. "Best we could come up with was, it was an electrical short. The fire started in the attic area and the fire stayed in the attic. The biggest damage believe it or not to the house was the fact that fire burnt a hole in the waterlines and the waterlines which kind of kept the fire small, also did a whole lot of flooding to the inside of the house."
Morris said there was no one home at the time of the fire and that neighbors saw smoke coming out of the attic vents. The neighbors alerted the fire department. Along with Neosho, Neosho Area Fire, Redings Mill and Seneca Area Fire Protection District assisted in the call. The call came in at 10:25 a.m. and firefighters were on scene until 12:19 p.m.
"The property owner's name is Christine Olson," Morris noted.

Gregg Popovich wasn't happy about playing four road games in five nights and didn't seem to care about his team's five-game winning streak, so he decided to make a statement to David Stern and the NBA by sending starters Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green home yesterday. That meant the Spurs would bring a skeleton crew to Miami for a nationally televised game against the LeBron James and the Heat, drawing the ire of the commissioner and embarrassing the league. Had Popovich done this on a busy Wednesday against the Wizards, it likely would have been half the story it was. But Pop chose the NBA's biggest stage – TNT on Thursday on a two-game night – and will take some sort of hit from Stern for his arrogance. In terms of fantasy, it was yet another cheap shot to the owners of Duncan, who is playing very well this season, Ginobili, coming off his best game of the year, and Parker, who had scored 30-plus in two of his last four games.
I get that Popovich wants to win in May, and doesn't really care about games this early in the season, but there are other ways to go about resting your older players. At least pretending to play along with the unwritten rules of the game would have made Stern happy. But Pop making his move when the Spurs-Heat was essentially the only game in town (nice win, Falcons) was basically the equivalent of your kid flipping you the bird as he walks out the door to pick up his girlfriend in your car, using your gas. And Stern aired his grievance with Pop in the following statement prior to last night's game.
"I apologize to all NBA fans. This was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming."
As a fantasy owner, it's infuriating to deal with guys who play for Popovich and Scott Skiles, as those coaches have their own agendas and pretty much get off on marching to the beat of their own drummer. Maybe Stern's penalty will be to require Popovich to do more halftime interviews, but I'm curious as to where he was when Pop listed Duncan as a 'DNP-OLD' last season. And how Charles Barkley was allowed to interview Pop last night, but not ask him about sending his stars home is beyond me.
As for the game, the Spurs D-League team showed up and put up an admirable fight, led by Gary Neal's 20 points, seven dimes and six turnovers, while Tiago Splitter (18 points), Nando De Colo (15), Boris Diaw (12) and Matt Bonner (10) all made a splash for Pop. Neal is actually on fire right now, averaging 17 points over his last three games, but because he plays for Pop and the Spurs, you never know if he's going to be in the starting lineup or in street clothes.
The Heat hung on to get the win and David Stern is thanking his lucky stars that he didn't make his "substantial sanctions" speech on a night the Champs fell to Pop's bench. They got 23 points, nine boards and seven assists from LeBron James in 'just another day at the office,' while Chris Bosh double-doubled, Ray Allen exploded for 20 points despite a sore back and Dwyane Wade chipped in with 19 points, five boards and five assists.
In the late game, Stephen Curry had 20 points and 10 assists as he continues to defy the odds and play well on his fragile ankle, while David Lee went off for 31 points, nine boards, six dimes, a steal and a blocked shot, while hitting 13-of-15 shots from the floor. Klay Thompson finally showed up for his fantasy owners, draining 10-of-19 shots for 21 points and nine boards, but hit just one 3-pointer. Thompson hasn't been fun to own up to this point, but last night is a good sign that he might be ready to right the ship. Jarrett Jack had 18 points, five assists and three 3-pointers off the bench, and is finally starting to come on for the Warriors. He missed all seven of his shots and scored one point on Saturday, but scored 17 on Friday night.
The Warriors held on for a one-point win against the Nuggets, who saw six players score in double digits. Andre Iguodala led the way with 22 points, four boards, four assists and two 3-poiners, Danilo Gallinari actually hit 6-of-12 shots and three 3-pointers for 20 points and nine boards, while Ty Lawson came through with 17 points, nine assists, four steals and two 3-pointers in the loss. Kenneth Faried quietly posted a beastly line with 10 points, seven boards and a career-best five blocks.

News and Notes
Rajon Rondo was given a two-game suspension for his role in the mini-brawl that took place on Wednesday when he overreacted to Kris Humphries' ho-hum foul on Kevin Garnett. Humps, KG and Gerald Wallace all avoided a suspension, and I would have been shocked if Rondo would have gotten more than two games off, given that Ron Artest's 'Malice in the Palace' move only drew a 73-game suspension in 2004. Rondo will sit out tonight and Saturday, but will be back on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Leandro Barbosa, Jason Terry and possibly Courtney Lee will be good pick-and-play options for the next couple games.
Brook Lopez will miss the next two games with a sprained right foot, meaning he's out on Friday and Saturday, and possibly longer. Lopez was playing at a very high level and this news is going to hurt a lot of fantasy owners, although the injury is said to be unrelated to the foot problems that shut him down last season. Hopefully he'll be back on Tuesday against the Thunder. Look for Kris Humphries and Reggie Evans to help pick up the slack in his absence, while Andray Blatche will start at center. Picking up Blatche, at least as a short-term fill-in, makes sense.
Wesley Matthews' thumb injury is a painful one and could be limiting his offensive prowess right now. He was 2-of-10 from the floor on Wednesday and owners should keep an eye on how he looks tonight at Boston.
Chandler Parsons has a strained right shoulder and is iffy for Saturday's game. Daequan Cook went off on Wednesday and is worth a deep-league look if you need short-term help, while Patrick Patterson is on fire right now. Patterson should be owned in most leagues at this point, with or without Parsons healthy.
O.J. Mayo has a pair of sprained ankles and has hit 11-of-34 shots over his last three games. Yes, he could take a hit once Dirk Nowitzki is back from knee surgery, but I still think he's a buy-low candidate. We're still not getting a firm return date on Dirk, but my guess is he'll be back in mid-December, possibly playing against the Celtics on Dec. 12.
Andrei Kirilenko is not worried about the back pain that caused him to miss Wednesday's game. My guess is he won't play on Friday, but might be ready for his next game, which isn't until Tuesday.
As we hinted at previously, Jason Kidd is out indefinitely with his back problems. I've got him stuck in a couple weekly lineups, but will be dropping him for a hot free agent on Sunday night, assuming I can find a decent one to pick up. Pablo Prigioni could be a nice pick up for as long as Kidd is out after going for 11 points, seven assists and two 3-pointers in his last game. Steve Novak is also worth a look and could start for the Knicks tonight. Novak hit five 3-pointers on Wednesday and has scored 18 and 19 points in two of his last three games to go along with 10 3-pointers over that stretch. If you can drop Kidd and pick up Novak for the next couple games, it could pay off.
Amare Stoudemire is now targeting a return around Christmas from knee surgery, but could come off the bench for the Knicks. It's time to pick him up if he was dropped in your league.
Kyle Korver isn't likely to play on Friday with his back problems, which is a shame. He was playing very well and the Hawks' schedule is about to get very good in terms of fantasy. Once he's healthy he should be picked up.
Marvin Williams could miss a few games with a concussion, which should help a struggling Gordon Hayward. And if Hayward plays well in the next game or two, a sell-high window will open, and I'd recommend climbing through it.
Mo Williams is a game-time decision for Friday night after missing three straight games with a foot injury. If I had to guess I'd say he's playing tonight.
The Raptors will sign Mickael Pietrus, who is worth a look in a 30-team league, but I expect Terrence Ross to pick up more minutes and start playing well for Toronto. He had 19 points, five boards and a 3-pointer on Tuesday, but cooled off on Wednesday with eight points. He's worth a look if you play in a deep league.
Daniel Gibson is a game-time decision for the Cavs on Friday against the Hawks with an elbow injury, but went through practice on Thursday. He might be good for some threes tonight, but Dion Waiters is a safer fantasy bet. He'll be playing through a right finger contusion, but it sounds like he should be able to go tonight.
The Mavericks signed Derek Fisher on Thursday, which doesn't even qualify as fantasy news.

In the NBA, Kevin Jones is the player at the end of the bench, a guy trying to find whatever playing time he can and open some eyes. In the D-League, Jones is nothing less than an MVP candidate.
In the NBA, Kevin Jones is the player at the end of the bench, a guy trying to find whatever playing time he can and open some eyes.
In the D-League, Jones is nothing less than an MVP candidate.
The interesting thing about the second-year pro is that whatever his role, whatever his setting, he never changes.
Jones brings his coach-pleasing, ultra-productive game back to Canton this season after spending some time with the Charge last year.
At 6-foot-8, 250 pounds, Jones is a bit undersized for power forward in the NBA. But the 24-year-old combines a nice jump shot, great hands, long arms and a junkyard-dog mentality to consistently produce good numbers.
Statistics are not the first topic that comes to mind for Steve Hetzel when he talks about the guy everyone refers to as "KJ."
The Charge head coach calls Jones "an A-plus person" and lauds his work ethic. Jones provides the kind of leadership for which coaches dream.
"When your best player is doing everything the right way, it's hard to step out of line," Hetzel said.
Plus, as Hetzel added, it doesn't hurt that Jones "rebounds and shoots the ball at an NBA level."
An undrafted free agent out of West Virginia last year despite being a second team All-American, Jones was one of the final cuts in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2012 training camp.
The Charge acquired him as an affiliate player, and after a strong start to the D-League season, the Cavs signed him to an NBA contract.
When Jones opened the season in Canton last year, he felt like he had to show everyone what he could do.
This year is different.
"I feel like there is less pressure because I don't have anyone to impress," he said. "I just want to go out there and play my game. I have a bunch of great teammates, guys that can make shots. So that makes it easier for me to do what I do."
One of the things coaches love about Jones is that he gets his numbers in the flow of the game. Rarely is a play designed for him.
Jones played 12 games with the Charge last year, averaging 22.4 points and 11.2 rebounds. He shot 53.0 percent from the floor.
"The ball always finds the right person when it's moving and you're unselfish," Hetzel said. "We don't need him forcing anything to get 20 and 10. We just need him to play the game, and that will come to him."
Jones played 32 games with the Cavs last year, averaging 3.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.4 minutes a night.
He did this while bouncing back and forth between Cleveland and Canton. There were times when he was assigned after a Cavaliers practice for a Charge game that night.
"It was definitely a maturing process for me," Jones said. "It just taught me to be prepared at any given moment. Anything could happen."
Jones was waived by the Cavs in July to make room for roster changes. Not surprisingly, he took the news with mature perspective.
"When you're the 14th or 15th man on the roster, you kind of know your fate," he said. "You've just got to play through it. The Cavs organization was great. I know they liked me. But it was a business move with them drafting Anthony Bennett and signing Andrew Bynum. I kind of knew my chances were slim then. But there's nothing I can do but keep playing and roll with the punches."
Jones was set to play for the Cavaliers summer league team, but he was struck by an elbow during practice and suffered a concussion.
He worked out for the Utah Jazz twice but did not get an invite to camp. His options were down to overseas or the D-League. Jones felt his best opportunity was with the Charge and chasing that NBA dream.
"I just want to improve on my defense," Jones said. "I know if I get picked up by (an NBA) team, I'm not going to be a guy who gets 20 (points) for their team. At least not right away. Hopefully one day.
"I want to do the little things that coaches notice: showing on screens, not getting split, boxing out bigger guys, stuff like that. I know the rest will come to me."
It always has.

Thanks to the efforts of several area adults who have had prior experience with wrestling, kids are getting early exposure to the sport and learning true life skills through their association with the youth program in Carmi. In addition to exercise and learning the techniques of wrestling, the kids are learning teamwork and what it takes to be successful at something one loves to do.
Thanks to the efforts of several area adults who have had prior experience with wrestling, kids are getting early exposure to the sport and learning true life skills through their association with the youth program in Carmi. In addition to exercise and learning the techniques of wrestling, the kids are learning teamwork and what it takes to be successful at something one loves to do.
Each Tuesday and Thursday, the Carmi Junior Wrestling program meets for practice with three hours dedicated to mat time at the gymnasium at Trinity Assembly of God, which is located on Outer West Oak Street in Carmi at the opening of Sunnybrook Meadows subdivision. The program is affiliated with the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) through USA Wrestling. As a result, the area kids are able to register and compete in weekend meets all around the region.
Coaches Levi Sisco, Tim Pollard, David Oates and Jeremy Belford work with the kids and teach them the basics of wrestling. A total of 53 kids from Enfield, Norris City and Carmi are involved in the program. This is the second year for the Junior Wrestling program in Carmi.
"The kids are learning a lot," said Levi Sisco. "They compete by age and weight. There are four different age categories for competition, starting with seven to eight year olds and it goes on up to 13 and 14 year olds."
Sisco and the other coaches are quick to point out the program would not be possible without the assistance from sponsors and from the generosity of Trinity Assembly of God to furnish the gymnasium for the practices. Those assisting with keeping the program viable include First Bank, Brown's Feed and Chemical, Peoples National Bank, James Cook State Farm Agency, Shawn Peyton and Ronnie Adams.
"Our practices begin in November and we go until March," said Sisco. "We have kids from four years old up to 13. We travel with the kids that are old enough to compete and we go as far north as Robinson and as far south as Anna-Jonesboro and Murphysboro. Our next meet is at Robinson Saturday, Feb. 9 and Sunday, Feb. 10."
Sisco noted the biggest group from the local program took place earlier this year when 16 kids competed in a tournament. Out of the ones going to competition, they are faring really well, bringing home several trophies and medals for their age divisions.
"We have been at some tournaments where there are 350-400 kids participating," said Sisco. "There are programs from all over that have been established for many years and they have national competing contenders. Our kids are doing well against the kids that are more experienced."
A former college wrestler, Sisco is passing techniques and basic wrestling moves onto the kids in the program. After wrestling all four years at Carmi-White County High School, Sisco went on to wrestle for two years at McKendree College. Several of the other coaches have college experience on the mat as well, with David Oates wrestling in South Carolina during school before relocating to southern Illinois.
"The new program through the IKWF is really good," said Sisco. "The kids register with Illinois and receive a card. Then, each time they compete, the organization keeps track of their progress. These records start for kids four-years-old and goes up through the entire wrestling program."
In addition to competition in the present, the youth wrestling program is also building interest and a foundation for the school programs, making the organization an investment into future wrestlers in White County.
For more information on the Carmi Junior Wrestling program, contact any of the coaches or stop by the Trinity Assembly of God gymnasium during practice hours, which are 5 until 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Also, Sisco can be reached through email at email@example.com.
