As the article states, the Raptors were quick turn the Bulls away from any prospect in trading Demar. Regardless, its nice to see him get recognized and that he's slowly turning some heads around the league.
If you were BC, would you consider parting with DeMar?
Source - Click hereThe trade front in Chicago has been pretty quiet despite the tour Chicago scouts and executives have been on evaluating possible trade candidates. Several Bulls' scouts and GM Gar Forman were in L.A. this week looking at possible trade candidates and sources close to the situation have pegged a few shooting guards as the Bulls' targets as the trade deadline approaches.
The Bulls have had eyes for Cleveland's Anthony Parker for some time, and are said to have him towards the top of their wish list. Parker missed nine game in January due to a back injury and has recently returned to action for the Cavs.
The Bulls have questions regarding any player with a back injury, so they will want to see Parker playing and proving that he is 100% before they'd consider triggering a deal.
A strong showing over the next few weeks could help Parker find his exit from Cleveland and the Bulls are interested in his progress.
Parker is in the final year of his deal with the Cavs and is owed $2.85 million, an easy contract for Chicago to absorb.
Chicago also had a long look at Houston's Courtney Lee and he could be the player they ultimately land. The Rockets are open to deals; however it's unlikely they move Courtney unless it's part of a bigger deal.
The Bulls have some excess in their front court and that's an area the Rockets are desperate to address.
They have also been linked to L.A.'s Shannon Brown, but due to his contract status he has the right to veto any trades and word is he's not looking to move anywhere.
The Bulls have apparently made runs at Toronto regarding DeMar DeRozan and were turned away and have made inquiries on O.J. Mayo with Memphis that went no where.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is
scheduled to make a keynote address today at the Mobile World
Congress (MWC) to announce its next generation mobile operating
system. While that keynote address is still roughly two hours away,
shots of the Windows Mobile 7 interface have leaked onto the web.
was able to score some images of the interface courtesy
of learnbemobile. Interestingly, the shots were gleamed
from banners posted on the walls in the convention center.
From the shots available, we can see
that Microsoft has taken a very simplified approach to what appears
to be the main home screen for the operating system. Whereas the
OS is littered with icons on its home page (twenty icons
including four on the dock for Phone, Mail, Safari, and iPod),
Windows Phone 7 Series has icons for Phone, Text Messaging, Email,
Facebook, Pictures, Xbox Live, and "Me".
The unannounced phone itself appears to
have a Home button which is flanked by a "Back" button and
what appears to be a "Search" button.
Stay tuned as we bring you more detail
on Microsoft's latest initiative to battle the iPhone OS and Android.

Charter Oak FCU Steers Shipyard to Smooth Sailing
Jeff Marshall typically starts his days early at the Mystic Shipyard, a 169-year old marina with a history steeped in the construction of schooners and iron-clad ships to sail the waterways of New England.
Marshall, along with Robert Helbig, are co-owners of the shipyard located in Mystic, Conn. Opened in 1843, the marina was home to several ships, including the Jennie R. Dubois, constructed in 1902 and the largest sailing ship ever built in Mystic, Marshall said. At a cost of almost $100,000, it was designed to carry 3,000 tons of coal or two million board feet of lumber.
After a shift to building catamaran power boats called sea sleds for racing and recreation and also as tenders for presidential yachts in the 1940s, the Mystic Shipyard was repurposed again as a recreational marina. It is now home to 165 summer residents and over 300 winter storage customers. The shipyard also offers custom shipwright carpentry, fiberglass repair and refinishing, rigging services, engine repair and re-powering.
When Marshall recently started exploring refinancing and additional capital opportunities, he turned to his bank of more than 30 years. Unfortunately, the financial institution was not able to come up with a satisfactory deal, he said. He then went shopping around and three other banks and the $749 million Charter Oak Federal Credit Union expressed strong interest in working with Marshall and his team.
In the end, the cooperative in Groton, Conn., brought the most appealing offer to the table and on July 31, provided a multiyear financing package for the Mystic Shipyard that allows the facility to refinance its existing mortgage as well as fund future improvements at the 6.5-acre marina.
For Marshall, it came down to working with a lender that was able to meet all of the terms he was seeking. He did not want to disclose the dollar amount or the timeframe of the loan.
"Charter Oak jumped through hoops," Marshall said. "It was primarily the loan size we were talking about. It was dollars and sense, interest rate, terms and conditions."
Brian Orenstein, CEO at Charter Oak, said the Mystic Shipyard loan is among the credit union's three largest commercial loans to date.
"We're pretty excited. We had some pretty stiff competition from community banks," Orenstein said.
Charter Oak's financing package will allow the shipyard to undertake planned improvements at the Mystic facility, including possible dock upgrades and a new repair facility.
For some time, credit unions have carved a niche within the small business sector working with traditional players providing loans for commercial real estate ventures on the high end to food carts on the low end of the spectrum.
With a shift in the type of businesses that have been formed over the past few years, particularly those tied to the Internet, some lenders are open to embracing the change, said Rohit Arora, co-founder and CEO of Biz2Credit, a New York firm that connects small businesses with financial institutions.
"There are lot of businesses that are doing things like smartphone wholesales, small modeling agencies and online content translations," Arora has noticed. "Normally, banks will not fund these businesses because they don't understand them. Most want hard assets. If they perceive a business as risky, they will shy away from it."
Credit unions and micro lenders tend to be more willing to fund nontraditional businesses, Arora said. With incentives to engage in green businesses, the appeal may be more attractive, he added. Biz2Credit has found that online-based businesses are the fastest growing sector that is receiving loans.
Indeed, for the past year, online retailer Amazon has been experimenting with offering loans to some of it high-volume sellers, according to an Oct. 1 American Banker article. Arora said companies like Amazon are going this route because their own merchants are finding it harder to get financing from banks. Amazon did not respond to a request for additional information by press time.
Despite the new competitor entry, Arora still sees opportunities for credit unions.
"They are focused on helping their members. These are folks who are getting out of corporate jobs and starting their own businesses," Arora said. "Big banks keep asking 'why do we keep rejecting so many loans when other non-traditional lenders are lending.' I tell them the economy is shifting. If you don't change your underwriting standards, you won't approve as many loans."
Orenstein said having an in-house team of experienced, former bank commercial lenders officers who've been in the business for 25 years and know the local area and a board committee that oversees all loans over $1 million, has kept Charter Oak out of the delinquency pool since it began offering business loans in 2009. The credit union now has $35 million of them in its portfolio.
"Certainly, there are risks. We believe that some of the credit unions that got into trouble were either outsourcing or through participations or not having experienced staff," Orenstein said.
In addition to the Mystic Shipyard, Charter Oak's largest loans were to date provided to a mobile home park and as recently as September, a $1.5 million commercial loan for the Interdistrict School for Arts and Communication in downtown New London, Conn.
"We have the skills to underwrite in house. We had outsourced in the past," Orenstein said. "Using credit scores for commercial lending just didn't make sense to us."
Charter Oak is open to considering all types of commercial loan requests within legal lending limits, Orenstein offered.
By nature, credit unions tend to listen to all member business loan requests to help members whenever possible, said Larry Middleman, president/CEO of CU Business Group LLC, a Portland, Ore.-based CUSO that serves 398 credit unions in 43 states. These member requests certainly involve nontraditional businesses, he added.
"From my view, credit unions would like to lend to nontraditional businesses such as home-based start-ups and online businesses, but in reality any loans granted will be in small dollar amounts," Middleman said, adding these loans would typically be well-secured by residential real estate or other personal assets, as nontraditional businesses don't often have business assets to pledge as collateral.
"Therein lies the big risks of this type of lending. Nontraditional businesses usually do not have several years of demonstrated, successful operations, nor do they have business collateral," Middleman said. "Credit unions would typically view this type of loan as unsecured, and preferably would obtain an SBA guarantee or some additional repayment assurance."
Still, Middleman continues to see credit unions serving a niche in their markets. For example, a good number of them in California use a state guarantee program that fosters new business growth, which allows lending lend to nontraditional businesses, he pointed out.
"However, the majority of credit unions tend to stick to plain vanilla commercial lending which means loaning to businesses with three plus years of profitably operations and solid real estate collateral," Middleman said.
Meanwhile, Marshall at the Mystic Shipyard said he was familiar with Charter Oak before doing business with the credit union and promised the financial institution that it would get the majority of his business going forward. Still, he is not against banks and was puzzled when he found out that efforts are in place to keep credit unions from expanding their business lending authority.
"It seems to me that would be fair. Being on the outside looking in, I'm out for what's best for my bottom line. It doesn't matter if it's with a bank, a convenience store or a credit union; I want to achieve the best bottom line."

Neuropathy is a nerve degeneration that causes a wide variety of symptoms such as numbness, pain, pins and needle sensations, tingling, burning, and shots of lightning. It is caused by many factors such as diabetes , HIV , medications, and trauma . Neuropathy is very difficult to treat.
The Community Consortium for Positive Health at San Francisco General Hospital conducted a study to determine the effect of cannabis on neuropathic pain in people with HIV. The study, published in Neurology , showed that inhaled cannabis was well-tolerated and effective in relieving neuropathic pain.
About the Study
The small crossover trial had 34 participants with sensory neuropathy. In one half of the study, participants smoked active cannabis ranging from 1%-8% potency, four times a day for five days. In the other half, participants smoked a placebo ingredient with the same frequency. There was a two-week washout period between the sessions.
Participants were asked to rate their pain by assigning a score. Successful pain treatment was determined if the pain was reduced by 30% or more.
- 46% of the participants in the cannabis group reported pain reduction of 30% or more
- 18% of the participants in the placebo group reported pain reduction of 30% or more
Participants maintained their current regimen for pain treatment throughout the study.
How Does This Affect You?
There are many medications for neuropathy but many are not effective in HIV-related neuropathy. Pain management is important to help improve quality of life and maintain daily functions. This small study suggests that cannabis may be effective for pain management.
Talk to your doctor about your pain management options.

Tesla Repays $465 Million DOE Loan 9 Years Early

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: airspacemag.com)
Tesla's early repayment is mainly due to last week's announcement regarding its plan to issue more stock and pay off the energy loan with the proceeds
Tesla Motors announced today that it has repaid its $465 million
energy loan
in full nearly a decade early.
"I would like to thank the Department of Energy and the members of Congress and their staffs that worked hard to create the [loan] program, and particularly the American taxpayer from whom these funds originate," said Elon Musk, Tesla co-founder and CEO. "I hope we did you proud."
Tesla was approved to receive a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in June 2009. The loan, which was part of the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, was to be repaid by 2022. But in March of this year, Tesla received permission to pay the loan back five years early by mid-2017.
But now, Tesla has repaid the whole sum -- nine years earlier than expected from the original 2022 due date.
Tesla's early repayment is mainly due to last week's announcement regarding its plan to i
ssue more stock and pay off the energy loan
with the proceeds. Tesla said it wanted to sell about $830 million in shares, and use $450 million in convertible senior notes (which are due in 2018) along with sales of 2.7 million shares (valued at about $229 million at the time) to pay back its federal loan.
Tesla Model S
Also helpful to Tesla's cause is the fact that it managed to start shipping 500 Model S sedans per week starting in March of this year, exceeding the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter. In fact, Tesla managed to sell 4,900 Model S sedans in the first quarter. The automaker plans to deliver 21,000 total for the year, which slightly exceeds previous forecasts of about 20,000.
Tesla reported its
first profitable quarter
in Q1 2013, where it posted a net income of $11.2 million (a huge increase from an $89.9 million loss in the year-ago quarter). Excluding certain items, Tesla's profit came in at 12 cents a share, which was a boost from a loss of 76 cents a share in Q1 2012. Analysts expected a profit of about 4 cents a share. Revenue also saw a huge year-over-year boost, totaling $562 million (up from $30.2 million in the year-ago quarter).
Tesla is certainly looking to keep that momentum going, and is doing by extending
excellent service beyond the point of sale
. Last month, the automaker announced a new battery replacement program as well as new service programs, which feature valet for customers who need to send their Model S' to the shop -- and can even borrow (or later buy) a better Model S or Tesla Roadster as loaner vehicles.
Today's early repayment is a crucial point in the history of clean energy loans issued by the Obama administration. Even though DOE said today that losses in the loan program are at 2 percent of a $34 billion portfolio and less than 10 percent of the $10 billion loss reserve, it's hard to forget some of the large loan defaults made by now-bankrupt clean energy companies.
Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk
In September 2011, Silicon Valley-based solar panel company Solyndra filed for bankruptcy after receiving
a $535 million loan
from the DOE in 2009. Government officials reportedly warned the administration of the viability of Solyndra, saying the company would go bankrupt in a matter of two years. The warnings were put aside in order to meet political deadlines.
Later in November 2011, Beacon Power, a company that creates flywheels to store power and increase grid efficiency by preventing blackouts, filed for bankruptcy after receiving
a $43 million loan guarantee
from the Department of Energy in August 2010.
But the failed energy loans didn't end there. Battery maker
EnerDel's Ener1 subsidiary
filed for bankruptcy in January 2012 after winning a $118.5 million grant from the DOE in August 2009. Ener1 was supposed to develop batteries for electric vehicles.
Just last month, it was announced that California-based Fisker Automotive -- which makes plug-in hybrid electric vehicles -- was talking bankruptcy. The automaker received $529 million in
DOE loans
in April 2010 for the development of high-tech vehicles. However, Fisker fell a little behind on its production schedule, and in May 2011,
DOE froze the loans due to "unmet milestones."
Fisker had only drawn $193 million of it at that point.
Due to these frozen loans,
Fisker is having a hard time
securing funds to make its second car -- the Fisker Atlantic. Fisker is now looking for investors to help out financially, but the company's investor solution has drawn a lot of criticism because two potentials have been Chinese companies -- Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and Dongfeng Motor Group Co. This is seen as an issue because Fisker received U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund its Karma plug-in.
Things have only gotten worse, as Fisker was forced to lay off 75 percent of its staff and even missed its DOE payment in late April.
Thankfully, Tesla has had a better time with its clean auto production. The company can now look ahead to continued Model S success and production of its
Model X crossover EV
(which hoped to begin production this year, but was shelved to 2014 with deliveries expected in 2015).
Tesla Motors
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

When Microsoft first announced the Zune
HD, one of the things that left many of us scratching our heads was
the fact that the portable media device wouldn't
launch with a 64GB option. At the time, it was well hypothesized
that the third generation iPod touch would ship with such an option
-- it
did -- leaving Microsoft without an effective counterpunch.
Six months after the Zune
HD launch, it now appears that Microsoft is finally getting
around to adding a 64GB model to its Zune HD lineup. Engadget
got word that a link to the 64GB model has been added to the
Zune website. However, the link is currently not active meaning
that Microsoft probably isn't quite ready to make an official
Current MSRPs for the 16GB and 32GB
Zune HDs are $219 and $289 respectively, although retailers like
Amazon.com have them listed for a low $169
and $239
respectively. For comparison, Apple's 32GB and 64GB third generation
iPod touch models feature MSRPs of $299 ($258)
and $399 ($343).
Microsoft's Zune HD features an NVIDIA
Tegra HD processor, 480x272 OLED display, 720p video output, and an
HD radio receiver.

Feel like the Raps are getting all KINDS more respect after just 3 games, seemingly just due to Lowry's presence. Tuesday marks yet another nationally televised game, as Kamla notes here, which is more than all of last season from what I can remember.

is allowing automakers to produce vehicles that are fuel efficient while at the
same time providing impressive performance. In past years, performance and fuel
economy weren't generally found in the same vehicles. One of the latest
vehicles to embrace hybrid technology to deliver improved fuel economy and
performance is the Buick LaCrosse with eAssist, which
we have previously covered on DailyTech.
The 2012
LaCrosse with eAssist uses a new generation BAS hybrid system that was
first covered in November of last year. Buick has now confirmed the price on
the LaCrosse with eAssist for the 2012 model year with eAssist. The vehicle
will start at $29,960 before a destination charge of $860. The eAssist tech
allows the car to deliver 25% better highway fuel economy than the current
LaCrosse model.
comparison, the base 2011 LaCrosse without eAssist started at $27,130.
"LaCrosse with eAssist is the smart choice for those who want great fuel
economy without sacrificing the driving dynamics and passenger comfort that
have made Buick the fastest-growing major automotive brand in the United
States," said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing.
The eAssist tech allows the LaCrosse with eAssist to achieve 37 mpg on the
highway, which is better than the Lexus
HS 250h Hybrid and the Lincoln
MKZ Hybrid. Its city fuel economy of 25 mpg, however, falls well below that
of those two competitors. The 2012 LaCrosse vehicle uses a new lithium-ion
battery system and an electric motor-generator that allows for regenerative
braking. The light electrification system inside the LaCrosse will also be
offered on the 2012
Buick Regal later in the year.
The eAssist tech is paired with an 180hp 2.4-liter inline-4 engine that uses direct
injection. An AWD version of the vehicle will also be offered, but the power
numbers are not rated at this time.
"LaCrosse with eAssist is the most advanced LaCrosse to date," DiSalle said.
"The winning combination of advanced technology, no-compromise driving
performance and luxurious style and passenger comfort stand to make LaCrosse
with eAssist a must-have sedan."

AG: Trooper justified in using stun gun in Montpelier fatality
MONTPELIER -- A state trooper was justified in using force against a man who died of a heart attack last year after being hit with a stun gun, the Vermont Attorney General's office said Friday.
The review found Trooper David Shaffer was within his rights to use his stun gun on Macadam Mason last June because the distraught man failed to comply with orders and made threatening movements toward the trooper.
Reviews by the attorney general and the Orange County State's Attorney's office both concluded criminal charges were not warranted against Shaffer because under state law a person is entitled to defend himself if he believes he is in immediate danger of bodily harm.
Mason is believed to be the first person to die after being struck by a stun gun in the state of Vermont. The Thetford man's death has raised questions about police use of stun guns, meant to be a non-lethal alternative to deadly force.
The head of the Vermont Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said he didn't think the trooper acted correctly and the police were not being held accountable.
Attorney General William Sorrell is planning to hold a public forum in March at the Statehouse in Montpelier with Allen Gilbert, the executive director of the Vermont Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union; Ed Paquin, executive director of Disability Rights Vermont; state Sen. Alice Nitka, and Rep. Bill Lippert to discuss the use of stun guns as a law enforcement tool.
"One of the things I think the report shows is the lack of police accountability," Gilbert said Friday. "Just because a decision was made no criminal charges would be filed it doesn't mean that police acted correctly."
The head of the Vermont State Police said the state police was working with the mental health community to improve training and they will continue to evaluate cases to make meaningful decisions regarding the use of stun guns.
"The actions of our troopers helped protect citizens in a highly dangerous and life threatening event," said Col. Tom L'Esperance. "The difficult decision to use force is something that stays with our members, throughout their careers. And we will continue to provide support and training to our members, as needed."
Shaffer is currently on paid administrative leave. Police would not say why.
Police were called to Thetford after being told by personnel staffing a crisis line that an unidentified male, who sounded intoxicated, had said he was suicidal and homicidal, had access to weapons and he hoped police would shoot him.
After troopers arrived, the owner of the house, Theresa Davidonis, Mason's long-time companion, told police dispatchers there were no weapons in the house and she did not want troopers to enter.
Davidonis asked the troopers to leave because she felt their presence was aggravating Mason. Because of what they were told, the troopers returned to the home to confirm Mason was safe.
Shaffer helped set up a perimeter in the woods near the house and later saw Mason and ordered him to lie on the ground.
"Instead, he stood, used profanities and asked (Trooper) Shaffer to shoot him," said the attorney general's review.
Mason took at least two steps toward Shaffer.
Shaffer was carrying a rifle, but he put it down and instead fired the stun gun, hitting Mason in the chest.
Shaffer and another trooper found him to be unresponsive and they immediately began CPR. Mason was taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Basic Information
Name: Jirayia
Nickname: Pervy Sage/Legendary Sage of Konoha
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Clan: -
Jiraiya was a tall man with waist-length, spiky white hair usually tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil' (油, abura), which denotes his affiliation with Mount Myōboku. He also had a noticeable wart on the right side of his nose. Jiraiya wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh armour that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was completed with hand guards, a simple black belt, traditional Japanese geta (wooden sandals), a red cloak with two simple yellow circles, and a scroll on his back. He also had a tattoo in his left palm which resembles one that Gama has in his as well.
Jiraiya was a self-proclaimed super-pervert with no equal, and a frequent voyeur, going so far as to create the Transparent Escape Technique, to allow him to spy on naked women without being caught (doing "research" as he called it, even as a child). He never actually hid his perversion, and even seemed proud of it, as seen when he told the Third Hokage about it when he was still a child. Despite this, Jiraiya disliked being referred to as the Perverted Hermit

Background Info.
As a child, Jiraiya and his former team-mates Orochimaru and Tsunade, were students of the Third Hokage. Jiraiya's relation with his team practically mirrored that of the future Team 7, with Jiraiya being quite similar to Naruto. After leaving the Third's tutelage, he travelled the world.
Jiraiya at some point discovered the residence of the toads, a species he proved to have a natural affinity for. In the anime this is shown to have occurred when he was still the Third's student; after seeing the Third perform the Summoning Technique, Jiraiya tried to use it himself. Since he did not have a contract, Jiraiya was reversed summoned to Mount Myōboku, where the Great Toad Sage made a prophecy concerning Jiraiya: that he would someday choose whether one of his students saved or destroyed the world. During his time with the toads, he trained in senjutsu.
During the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya and his former team-mates fought Hanzō, the leader of Amegakure. Hanzō was so impressed that they could survive in a fight with him, that he bestowed upon them the title of Konoha's "Legendary Three Ninja" (伝説の三忍, Densetsu no Sannin), and that they accept the title in exchange for letting them live. Once the battle was over, Jiraiya and his team-mates encountered three young orphans from Amegakure. While Orochimaru suggested they kill them to spare them the cruelty of the world, Jiraiya decided to look after them for a while and teach them ninjutsu. During the time he spent with them, Jiraiya grew close to the three children, and even wrote a book that was inspired by one of them, Nagato. Eventually, he left them so that they could pursue their own goals. Although news of their exploits reached him from time to time, he thought them to have died during an undisclosed incident.
Once becoming a jōnin and capable of leading a squad, Jiraiya became the teacher of Minato Namikaze and two other unknown genin. Jiraiya took particular interest in Minato, taking him as an apprentice, and amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. At some point, he also told Minato about the prophecy the Great Toad Sage had given him, believing that Minato could be the Child of the Prophecy.
Later, Jiraiya's first book, The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi, failed to be a best-seller. Minato, now the Fourth Hokage, thought the book was excellent, and praised Jiraiya, saying that the protagonist resembled him greatly. It was then that Minato revealed that he and Kushina Uzumaki, who was pregnant at the time, wanted to raise their child to be a great shinobi, like the one in the book, and for that reason they decided to name him "Naruto", after the main character. Jiraiya jokingly pointed out that it would make him Naruto's godfather, and asked if they were sure that they would want that. Minato replied that Jiraiya was a good example for them all and that he could not think of a finer shinobi than him.
Years later, when Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and left the village, Jiraiya pursued him, trying to convince his friend to come back (similar to Naruto's efforts to bring Sasuke home). Orochimaru refused, and attacked Jiraiya. While he tried to find a reason for Orochimaru's defection, Jiraiya eventually realised that his friend wasn't coming back. Feeling that he was responsible for Orochimaru's escape, Jiraiya left Konoha so he could follow Orochimaru's movements, as well as those of "Akatsuki", an organisation which Orochimaru had eventually joined. In doing so, Jiraiya was unable to fulfil the Third's wishes of him taking on the role of Hokage, feeling that tracking down Orochimaru was more important.

As a cataract develops, you may or may not notice changes in your vision. Cataracts tend to develop slowly, so vision gets worse gradually. Because the change is gradual, many people do not realize that they are losing vision. Some people with a cataract find that their close-up vision improves as the cataract matures, but this is just temporary. Vision worsens as the cataract matures.
Symptoms may include:
- Cloudy or blurry vision
- Poor contrast
- Poor night vision
- Difficulty reading
- Double or multiple vision (this symptom often goes away as the cataract matures)
- Increased nearsightedness, requiring frequent changes in your eyeglass or contact lens prescription
- Colors seem faded or images appear with a yellow tint
Problems with light, including:
- Headlights that seem too bright at night
- Glare from lamps or very bright sunlight
- A halo around lights
- Trying to read in bright light
- Problems when moving from a dark area to a bright area
- Acute glaucoma attack (rare)
These symptoms can also be signs of other eye problems. If you have any of these symptoms, see your ophthalmologist immediately.

INTERPOL Chief's first mission to Latvia recognizes country's role in combating transnational crime
RIGA, Latvia – In his first mission to Latvia as INTERPOL Secretary General, Ronald K. Noble met with senior government and police officials to review crime threats and identify opportunities to further enhance the country's global law enforcement cooperation via INTERPOL.
The INTERPOL Chief's discussions with Minister of the Interior Rihards Kozlovskis and State Police Commissioner Ints Kuzis also focused on the importance of frontline access to the world police body's global tools, with Latvia having seen a major increase in the number of hits against INTERPOL's databases after implementing technical solutions enabling remote checks to be carried out.
One success highlighted during the Secretary General's visit was the key role played by Latvia in an INTERPOL-coordinated operation codenamed Eastbound, which resulted in the arrest of the suspected mastermind behind a global car smuggling ring, estimated to have trafficked luxury and sports vehicles worth around EUR 6 million between 2009 and 2012.
"INTERPOL's assistance to its member countries is much more effective when our global tools are placed directly in the hands of frontline police, as we have seen here in Latvia," said Secretary General Noble.
"Latvia's commitment and investment in global police cooperation via INTERPOL is paying back dividends, in their ability to identify and arrest internationally wanted persons attempting to evade justice or locating stolen cars being trafficked and the transnational organized crime groups behind these activities.
"With their plans for continued expansion of access to INTERPOL's global tools, Latvia will continue to see even more successes and the increased safety and security of their citizens and visitors," concluded the INTERPOL Chief.
During his mission to Latvia – making it the 165th country visited since becoming Secretary General in 2000 – Mr Noble, accompanied by INTERPOL's Director of Cabinet Roraima A. Andriani, also met with staff at the National Central Bureau in Riga where they were updated on recent activities.

To David and All Others Who So Flippantly Dismiss Our Past Faith
In this post, a gentleman by the name of David Poehlein has been asking why anyone would spend their time discussing a belief they don't hold. He also did what many other Christian commenters have done here as well, dismissed our past faith.
I consider the following an open letter to all who do so.
Do you not notice how presumptuous you are being here?
You come into a forum in which the writers describe a gut-wrenching journey away from faith and you write:
I do not believe that people "lose" faith. I believe they never had it. Maybe they wanted it or convinced themself they had it, but never did.
So, you come in and invalidate all of our experience.
You were no part of my journey. You don't know what it is like to see your faith slowly drained from you. To fight, kicking and screaming, to maintain it. To cry, pray, seek counsel, force yourself into a Church, pray some more, cry some more.
I am/was an ordained minister. From five-years-old until thirty, I believed that Jesus died for my sins and was the love of my life. Never, for one second, during all of that time could I have imagined that I would ever be anything other than a Christian.
I didn't want to leave the Church; I loved it. I loved preaching, singing, praying, teaching, the Bible, seminary, all of it. I stayed, for a while, even after my faith was gone, just because I couldn't imagine life without it. It was horrific.
And, then, you bop in here and flippantly dismiss everything I experienced. You say it was all a delusion. Well, pardon me for not running to embrace what you have to say.
You keep asking why we/I would spend time on Christianity after leaving it.
Read this.
There are a lot of reasons why I post. One is compassion. I don't like to see people brain-washed and hurt by any religion. Another reason is political. Christianity has become a political organization attempting to impose Christian "morality" (if you can call it that) on everyone else. So, I care about individuals, and I care about government. That's why I write.
What if you are wrong, David? I never thought I could be. I got a degree in biblical studies from a very conservative Bible college, a master of arts in theology from the largest Evangelical seminary in the country, and a master of divinity from the tenth largest Evangelical seminary in the country. I was an associate pastor in four different churches. I was ordained, "called" to be a church planter by a large denomination, and given a large grant to do so. I never expected to spend my life any other way than in service of Jesus. I didn't have a suspicion during all of that time that one day, I would be at this point. I was you on many occasions. I came into these kind of forums and actually attempted to give reasons for my faith, and most of the time, I would more than hold my own.
How do you know that you will endure David? How do you know that one day you won't be here on the other side?
I believed Jesus' words, "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. . . And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
Do you know how many times I lay face-down on my floor crying to heaven for God to fulfill this promise? Do you know how many times I screamed the prayer of that helpless father in Mark 9:24, "I do believe; help my unbelief"?
Will that be you one day, David? Will you be grasping onto whatever faith you can muster, begging God for help in your unbelief? How do you know, David? How do you know?
The apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall." Do you think you stand, David?
Maybe, David, you should be concerned about your own reasons for faith. Maybe instead of entering forums and writing off peoples' experiences without knowing anything about them, you should take the time and examine your faith. You should think about why you believe and why your belief is correct and why the beliefs of the vast majority of individuals who have ever walked this earth are wrong. It is very presumptuous, indeed, to come here unable to "give an account for the hope that is in you," to dismiss the beliefs of most of the people who have ever lived and who ever will live on this earth.
Why don't you do this? Why don't you explain to us why your belief is true? Why don't you say something besides the dogma of your religion? Any Buddhist, Muslim, or believing Jew could do that. They could come in and spout their dogma. If your faith is "true," you should be able to explain why, right? Why don't you let that be your method instead of presuming to know us and simply dismiss what we have to say? We welcome your reasons. We welcome a rational defense of your faith. Try us, okay?

This is sort of a Branch off Thread idea I got from Apollo's one about PG's and Jose.
Jay Triano: been with the team a LONG time. Longer than anyone else in the Franchise I'd imagine. At least that closely related to the court Players. Perhaps Scott McCullough. Still.
He's been around. And has served under ALL of the Head Coaches since 2002, with Lenny Wilkens. He has also Head Coached in 229 Regular Season games,
But this does not translate the same as it does with players I find.
I'm not sure his impact to this franchise is nearly as big as say that of Lenny Wilkens.
I don't mean that as a slight to Jay by any means, but.. well you know what I mean.
Sam Mitchell: on the other hand, is the Raptors Longest Tenured Head Coach at 345 Regular Season games. Thats alot by our Coaching standards, but really.. thats not a whole lot.
He is also our winningest Head Coach at 156 Regular Season wins.
Then we have Lenny Wilkens: He's our Winningest Head Coach in Playoff games, and took the team to a level that we had/have never seen before. How much of that was "Carter in his Prime", is neither here-nor-there if you ask me.
What about Butch Carter?: Our 4th Longest Tenured HC? First Coach to get us to the Playoffs. We didn't actually win in the playoffs with him, but you know.. it's something.
What do you guys think?
I'd hire Sam Mitchell again in a HEARTBEAT if it were up to me.

January 27, Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Cycle C. Readings:
1) Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10
Psalm 19:8-10, 15
2) 1 Corinthians 12:12-30
Gospel) Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21
As a regular contributor to "Word to Life" I'm occasionally curious about who reads these columns and where they live. When I first began contributing, it was for the North Texas Catholic in 1995, and it was pretty easy to figure out: Readers of the print publication lived in the diocese, and I encountered many of them at diocesan and parish functions. Then the Internet happened.
With a few mouse clicks the other day, I was astonished to discover that we have readers from New Mexico and Maryland to the Ukraine and South Korea!
We have entered an age of digital communication and social media in which the Good News of Jesus Christ can be transmitted almost instantly to even the remotest parts of the globe.
I recently learned of a missionary priest in Togo, West Africa, a modern-day circuit rider who visits rural villages in a pickup truck bearing an inflatable screen, DVD player, and projector powered by a small generator. Entire villages turn out to watch Christian films in French. The visual presentation of the Gospel has been so inspiring that the priest baptized 150 catechumens last Easter alone.
Pope Benedict XVI has called the entire church to observe a Year of Faith, charging Catholics to seek reconversion to a deeper relationship with Jesus and to boldly share his Gospel.
For some, it means reopening and walking anew through the door of our Baptism, in much the same fashion that Nehemiah reintroduced the Torah to his own people returning from Babylonian exile. He was effective with only a scroll, a raised wooden platform, and the force of God's Spirit.
In a first-century Galilean synagogue, Jesus unrolled the scroll of the prophet Isaiah to proclaim his fulfillment of God's promises. The tools were primitive, but the Spirit's power caused extensive and immeasurable effects.
For Christians, evangelization — the relational, compassionate, and truthful sharing of the love of Jesus Christ with those in our sphere of influence — is not an option. We have communication tools that Nehemiah could never have imagined. But more importantly, we are given the same Spirit of the living God. What are we waiting for?
What obstacles prevent you from evangelizing? Who in your sphere of influence is God asking you to share the good news of the Gospel with?
January 27, Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
The FJ Tour Insider is back and this week we are covering the Irish Open. The strong field and major-esque venue has created much buzz around this event, leading to the first ever sell out of a non-major European Tour event! With the British Open just around the corner, many FJ players are using this as a tune up for next month's major at Royal Lytham and St. Annes. FJ Ambassadors, Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington are looking to give their thousands of local followers a good showing this week, hopefully with a win!
It should be a great week of golf on the rustic Northern Irish coastline.
Enjoy the slideshow!

Toyota is moving
forward despite the bad press and recalls and is looking to the
future where it may be the first company to offer a hydrogen fuel
cell vehicle that is "affordable". Toyota is targeting
a price of $50,000 for its first retail hydrogen fuel
vehicle. Bloomberg
reports that the $50,000 figure reflects a 90% reduction in cost for
hydrogen fuel cell technology since the mid-2000s.The first
hydrogen powered vehicle would be a sedan with a range equal to that
of a gas-powered car. Toyota's Yashihiko Masuda, managing director
for advanced automobiles said, "[The hydrogen vehicle would
compare to gasoline vehicles] with some added cost."Masuda
said, "Our target is, we don't lose money with introduction of
the vehicle. Production cost should be covered within the price of
the vehicle."Toyota won't talk about how many of the
vehicles it expects to sell. Masuda told Bloomberg
that the market would be small, but would have some support. The
support would likely be mostly from local and state governments.The
biggest issue facing the adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles isn't
the cost of buying the vehicles. The big issue is the fact that there
is little to no infrastructure to speak of across the country. Most
hydrogen fuel station are located in California, and even within
California, there are but a handful. Hydrogen also currently costs
much more than gasoline.One of the cost cutting methods that
Toyota used to help bring down the price of hydrogen vehicles was to
use less platinum on the fuel cell construction. The automaker will
reduce the platinum used in fuel cells from about 1.06 ounces per
vehicle to the area of 10 grams per vehicle. The price for platinum
now is about $1,675 per ounce.
isn't the only company looking at hydrogen vehicles, GM already has
hydrogen powered vehicles in use that are leased to retail customers
in the Los Angeles area. California Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger said, "Hydrogen is the most abundant element in
the universe, and we can have it forever. We need to wake up the
federal government."Before GM starts retail sales in
California, the automaker wants at least 40 hydrogen fuel stations in
the Southern California area -- currently there are ten. GM believes
that 40 stations could support 15 million drivers in the region.

It looks as though DaimlerChrysler isn't
the only automotive company looking at car-to-car communications systems.
General Motors has announced its new vehicle-to-vehicle
(V2V) system which is currently being tested on Cadillac, Chevrolet, Opel
and Saab models in Germany.
Like DaimlerChrysler's system, V2V uses Wireless LAN (WLAN)
technology, GPS and a vehicle's numerous computer controlled active safety
systems to relay data back and forth between vehicles. The system is capable of
relaying such data as Emergency Brake Warning, Blind Spot/Lane Change notification
(with accompanying blinking LEDs in the side view mirror and vibrating driver's
seat), Forward Collision Warning and Emergency Vehicle Warning (with location
and direction of travel for the emergency vehicle).
"Driving is a very complex task. Knowing where the
other guy is and where he's headed can be as critical as being in control of
your own vehicle," said GM's Hans-Georg Frischkorn. "With V2V
technology, we intensify the driver's awareness of his environment to improve
road safety, without any distraction to him and certainly without reducing his
level of control. This sixth sense lets drivers know what's going on around
them to help avoid accidents and improve traffic flow."
Whereas DaimlerChrysler's system will be employed in
high-end Mercedes vehicles at first, GM is using off the shelf components to
drive down costs and implement the system on as many vehicles as possible.

A study
conducted by cloud networking company Meraki has looked at the amount of data
consumed by various types of devices via Wi-Fi. The study is a comparative
analysis of devices between 2010 and 2011. The results of the study are now
available and show that mobile platforms have gained significantly compared to
desktop platforms.
average monthly Wi-Fi data consumed according to Meraki by Android, iPhone, and
iPod users is about 40MB while the average iPad user consumes 200MB of data
each month.
According to the study, iOS devices and Android devices now
account for 58% of all Wi-Fi devices. In 2010, the percentage of the same
devices was 33% showing a significant growth. Desktop platforms declined over
the study period slipping from 63% for Windows and Mac combined to only 36%
this year.
devices grew significantly over the time period going from 32% of Wi-Fi traffic
up to 47%. Android on the other hand went from 1% to 11%.
The study found that the single most popular Wi-Fi device is the iPhone, which should
surprise no one. The survey gathered its data from the 17,000 deployed cloud
networks Meraki runs around the world. Those 17,000 networks have more than 40
million different users and the study data was gathered using information about
what devices connect to those cloud networks.
It's no
surprise to see the number of computers accessing Wi-Fi declining. Computer
sales are slowing and tablet sales are increasing according to
Gartner's latest data.

NASA'S Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is one of the world's primary sources for climate data. GISS issues regular updates on world temperatures based on their analysis of temperature readings from thousands of monitoring stations over the globe.
GISS' most recent data release originally reported last October as being extraordinarily warm-- a full 0.78C above normal. This would have made it the warmest October on record; a huge increase over the previous month's data.
Those results set off alarm bells with Steve McIntyre and his gang of Baker Street irregulars at Climateaudit.org. They noted that NASA's data didn't agree at all with the satellite temperature record, which showed October to be very mild, continuing the same trend of slight cooling that has persisted since 1998. So they dug a little deeper.
McIntyre, the same man who found errors last year in GISS's US temperature record, quickly noted that most of the temperature increase was coming from Russia. A chart of world temperatures showed that in October, most of Russia, the largest nation on Earth, was not only registering hot, but literally off the scale. Yet anecdotal reports were suggesting that worldwide, October was actually slightly colder than normal. Could there be another error in GISS's data?
An alert reader on McIntyre's blog revealed that there was a very large problem. Looking at the actual readings from individual stations in Russia showed a curious anomaly. The locations had all been assigned the exact temperatures from a month earlier-- the much warmer month of September. Russia cools very rapidly in the fall months, so recycling the data from the earlier month had led to a massive temperature increase.
A few locations in Ireland were also found to be using September data.
Steve McIntyre informed GISS of the error by email. According to McIntyre, there was no response, but within "about an hour", GISS pulled down the erroneous data, citing a "mishap" and pointing the finger of blame upstream to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA).
NOAA's Deputy Director of Communications, Scott Smullens, tells DailyTech that NOAA is responsible only for temperature readings in the US, not those in other nations.
The error not only affected October data, but due to the complex algorithm GISS uses to convert actual temperature readings into their output results, altered the previously published values for several other months as well. The values for August 2008, for instance, changed by 0.11C and the global anomaly as far back as 2005 increased by a hundredth of a degree.
GISS is run by Dr. James Hansen, a strident global warming advocate who has accused oil companies of "crimes against humanity". Hansen recently made headlines when he travelled to London to testify on behalf of a group of environmentalists who had damaged a coal plant in protest against global warming. Hansen also serves as science advisor to Al Gore.
Dr. Hansen could not be reached for comment.

topic of net neutrality is a thorny issue. After all, the
American public is increasingly adopting the stance that the less
government meddling in the private sector, the better. On
the other hand, advocates of the government adopting net neutrality
restrictions have long laid out a dystopian vision of the future in
which users have only partial paid access to the internet and smaller
independent websites fold under the inability to draw paying
customers.Such visions could have been dismissed as alarmism
-- until now. A presentation from Allot
Communications and Openet,
two wireless industry giants who supply the likes of Verizon and
AT&T, leaked out onto the internet and verifies that the wireless
industry is plotting just such a scheme.I.
Want the Web? Prepare to PayAt
its web
seminar the pair revealed a stunning plot in which wireless
customers would be forced to pay additional monthly fees per web page
accessed and -- in some cases -- per MB used. The slide
suggests a $0.50 USD/month YouTube access fee, a $0.02 USD/MB
Facebook access rate, and a 3€ (appr. $3.95 USD) Skype access
fee.Aside from the payoff from immediate fees, the leaked
PowerPoint presentation (1.5 MB/PDF) reveals a double
benefit to carriers, at consumers' expense. The slides suggest
that top UK carrier giant Vodafone (who partially owns Verizon
Wireless) create its own websites -- such as social networks and
video sites -- and offer customers free access to them.By
forcing customers to pay for external sites, but offering free
internal sites, carriers could attempt to force customers onto its
own sites. While such knockoffs would likely offer inferior
quality to carefully crafted services like YouTube and Facebook,
carriers wouldn't mind that -- they would be to busy reaping the
additional ad revenue.II.
The FCC Won't Let Me BeIt
is unclear whether the leak is coincidental or is meant to test the
U.S. Federal Communication Commission's resolve, a week ahead of
its planned
meeting to discussing net neutrality. Current
laws do not clearly grant the FCC the power to regulate wireless
internet traffic or enforce net neutrality over wired and wireless
service providers. The FCC's attempts to enforce net neutrality
regardless were struck
down in the spring by a federal court. The FCC now
hopes to draft legislation to present to Congress.But the
legislation faces serious political resistance. While some
Republicans are supportive of net neutrality, much of the Republican
party opposes net neutrality. And the Republicans in January
will gain control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Among
the staunchest opponents of net neutrality regulation is former
presidential candidate, U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Az.). Sen.
McCain, like many Republicans, has previously opposed
net neutrality legislation due to a stance against
government regulation. However, Verizon
and AT&T bequeathed $237,600 upon his 2008 presidential
campaign. AT&T and Verizon lobbyists also raised from
various donors – $2.3M USD and $1.3M USD, respectively – for his
campaign. They also offered free services to his 15-acre
Arizona ranch.Sen. McCain is obviously not alone, however --
such contributions are common in Washington.Thus net
neutrality legislation faces tenuous prospects. And as our
computing heads increasingly into the mobile sphere (with
smartphones, tablets, laptops, netbooks, etc.) that may soon mean
that customers will be paying a lot more for a lot less. And in
the process any government censorship of the internet will likely
pale in comparison to that which the "free" market is
cooking up.Many refer to the current generation of web
businesses as Web 2.0. Well if these developments are any
indication, we may soon be greeting Web 3.0 -- the transformation of
the internet into a series of toll roads.

Just when you though this week was done
with smartphone leaks, two more are coming our way. The folks
over at Engadget have come across leaked slides for three new
smartphones from Dell. Two of them are affectionately named Thunder and
The two smartphones are quite fetching
and take advantage of two of the most high profile operating systems
out there -- one of which has already been released, and one of which
is still
at least six months away.
First up is the Dell
Thunder. This candy bar-style phone is dominated by a 4.1"
(WVGA) OLED display, features an 8MP digital camera, and includes
HSDPA support (AT&T). According to Engadget, the Thunder will also
receive -- drumroll please -- a integrated Hulu app for viewing
movies and TV shows. We've heard rumors
about a mobile Hulu app for ages, but this could be the first
time that we actually see it show up in a shipping product. In
addition, an LTE version of the Thunder is expected in 2011.
Next up is the Dell
Lightning. This slider phone runs the upcoming Windows
Phone 7 operating system and features HSDPA 7.2Mbps 3G
connectivity (AT&T and T-Mobile). The screen is a generous 4.1" (WVGA) OLED unit,
and an autofocusing 5MP camera is on the back of the device. The
Lightning uses a 1GHz (QSD8250) Snapdragon processor, includes 1GB of
flash and features 512MB of RAM. All required Windows Phone 7
hardware features are also included (i.e. GPS, accelerometer, etc.).
Not to be left out, there's another
Dell smartphone coming your way running Android
Froyo. The third phone, named
Flash, features an 800MHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB RAM / 512MB
ROM, 3.5" WVGA display (sorry, no OLED with this one), Bluetooth
3.0, and TV-out. The Flash will be available for AT&T's network
early next year.
Interestingly, Dell says that this
phone features an "innovative design with unique curved glass".
I guess we need to see this phone in the flesh to see what Dell is
talking about, but that won't be for a while.
It's good to know that there are plenty
of iPhone alternatives out there now, and more coming in the future.
We've already seen a strong
showing with the Droid
Incredible and these new offerings from Dell should do quite
a bit to make those that are sick of hearing about the iPhone stand
up and take notice.

Lawmakers in California are considering a bill to punish bullies that harass fellow student via digital means, such as test messages or social networks like MySpace.
Introduced in the California legislature by Assemblyman Ted Lieu of Torrance, Assembly Bill 86 opens up the possibility of suspension or expulsion to students who threaten others via any electronic medium, defined as "any information … transmitted by wire, radio, optical cable, electromagnetic or other similar means."
With the advent of the internet, educators are finding it increasingly difficult to watch for the signs of bullying, as students trade physical altercations with digital ones – incidents that leave occur outside of school grounds and leave little in the way of visible scars.
A California government-sanctioned review of the bill notes inspiration from the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) Task Force on School and Campus Safety, which published a report suggesting schools increase their prevention activities against bullying in any form, "including cyber bullying."
"The growth in the use of technology and social networking sites by younger Americans has fueled a fear among professionals that cyber bullying will become the means most often utilized to harass," reads the report. "while certainly more prevalent in the elementary and secondary school setting, issues related to bullying or intimidation are increasingly relevant in other nontraditional settings."
Much of legislators' awareness of cyberbullying can be traced to the case of Megan Meier, a chronically-depressed 13-year-old who committed suicide in 2006 after a friendship with a "16-year-old boy" – really the parent of one of Meier's friends, 49-year-old Lori Drew – turned south. A local police investigation eventually turned into a federal investigation, and in May 2008 Drew a federal grand jury indicted Drew on charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers without authorization.
The FBI's "questionable" logic in choosing to prosecute Drew based on her decision to violate MySpace's Terms of Service (TOS) has since kicked off a thriving debate among legal experts, with lawyers from the Electronic Frontier Foundation informally offering to step in on Drew's behalf.

Mollie Makes is probably my favorite, but I'm most familiar with it.ReplyDelete
Well, since I already have a Mollie Makes subscription..and every single one of their issues from the beginning.....love it!...I'd have to say a "Stitch" subscription would be the next one I'd be interested. My age/eyes have me backing away from years of cross-stitch detailing..and crocheting never "took" from many attempts of my wonderful MIL trying to instruct me. LOL I do knit and all the other needle-loves...but I'll leave the crocheting to others. ;) Wouldn't it be great if someone came up with an embroidery magazine? Not a fancy stitch crewel type..but the fun ones that many of us today gravitate towards searching the web for patterns and books. Probably why so many like "Mollie Makes"... it seems to always have some little embroidery stitch project within. :)ReplyDelete
- brillbundyDecember 2, 2012 at 7:36 PM
Hmmm, it's my birthday. Maybe I'll get lucky. :) I've been a fan of Crochet Today! and Interweave Crochet for years. But I've recently become obsessed with CrossStitcher so I'll have to go with that one as my current favorite.ReplyDelete

Your ideas for a high risk - high reward move?
Mine....sign Greg Oden to 4 years 10million/2.5 million per year (2nd year team option, 3rd year team option, 4th year team option)
But Tim, that's crazy! you are saying. To which I would reply, yup.
playing in a reserve role 10-15 minutes a game and working with a real
medical team (headlined by Alex McKechnie) Could give us a solid serviceable big
for three years.
HIGH REWARD - this has disaster written all over it. But some part of me expects that Oden, while not having the perennial all star career many thought, could still turn into a 12pts 10 boards 2blcks centre. The team that gambles on him will likely be flushing millions down the shitter. But in the off chance he actually recovers and has what will probably be a solid 10 - 12 years, the team that takes that chance could be pleasantly surprised
Feel free to comment on this crazy move or craft one of your own for discussion.

A Durango woman was upgraded from critical to serious condition at a Denver-area hospital on Friday, a day after being run over by a Toyota Tundra.
Elizabeth "Betsy" Richards, 51, was "lucid" and awake Friday at St. Anthony Hospital, said her husband, Joel Richards.
"She's strong, and she's in very good shape considering what she's been through," he said. "She is extremely lucky to be alive. It's miraculous, really, that she is alive."
Betsy Richards was riding her road bike Thursday morning southbound on West Frontage Road in Bodo Industrial Park.
Linda Wagner, 64, of Bayfield, was driving a Toyota Tundra northbound on West Frontage Road when she made a left-hand turn into the Centennial Center parking lot without seeing Richards, Durango police said.
Richards was thrown onto the hood of the pickup before falling to the pavement and being run over by both tires on the driver's side.
She suffered a broken wrist and multiple fractures to her pelvis, her husband said.
"They pretty much said every bone in her pelvis was broken," Joel Richards said.
Doctors worked Thursday and Friday to control the bleeding, he said. Her bladder was torn from the urethra, "so they're having to do a lot of plumbing," he said.
Charges against the driver were pending Friday.
"It's got to be horrible for her, too," Joel Richards said.
Joel Richards said the family has been "flooded" with people offering help, but there's little that can be done at the moment.
Betsy Richards will be in the hospital for at least two weeks, he said.
She is conscious, has a good sense of humor, but is in a lot of pain, Joel Richards said.
"She looks beat up," he said. "She looks like she was run over by a truck."
