Fiance was 'controlling and jealous', court told
Simon Gittany was "controlling" and "jealous" of his fiancee and became so enraged when she tried to leave him that he dropped her from the balcony of their 15th-storey apartment, a court has been told.
Mr Gittany, 39, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his fiancee, 30-year-old Canadian Lisa Cecilia Harnum, by causing her to fall from their rented luxury apartment in The Hyde building on Liverpool Street on July 30, 2011.
During final submissions at his committal hearing on Thursday, prosecutor Daniel Noll said there was a lot of evidence that Mr Gittany had a controlling nature.
Mr Noll said the couple argued that morning because Ms Harnum had decided to leave him.
"The accused was very controlling and jealous and domineering to the deceased.
"This type of behaviour appeared to escalate around [Ms Harnum's] time of death.
On the morning of her death, the intensity of their arguing heightened to a point where she was heard screaming and knocking on a neighbour's door, Mr Noll said.
"[Mr Gittany was] enraged by the actions of the deceased in attempting to leave him and the accused carried ... her to the balcony and dropped her from the 15th floor."
Mr Noll said Ms Harnum's mother, friends and her personal trainer, Lisa Brown, all gave evidence which showed she did not have suicidal intentions.
Mr Gittany's barrister, Anthony Bellanto, QC, said the couple had argued the night before about Ms Harnum going to visit her mother in Canada.
In the morning, Mr Gittany told police he tried to make things better and they began to argue again, Mr Bellanto said.
"He concedes candidly that she told him she was leaving and she grabbed her handbag, went to leave through the front door and he stopped her."
Mr Bellanto said Mr Gittany told police she then raised her voice and tried to get the neighbours' attention.
Mr Bellanto said Mr Gittany told police: "I yelled back 'shut the f--- up'. I was in the kitchen and I saw her run past to the balcony. I remember thinking 'what's on the balcony?' . I saw her step over the railing onto the little cliff face. I was just grabbing her. I might have had her handbag or jacket and then she was gone."
In a text message Mr Gittany wrote to Ms Harnum's mother after the fall, he said he could do nothing to save her and expressed his sympathy.
"My life has also ended, as she was my life," he wrote.
Magistrate Clare Farnan said she expected to make her decision on Friday about whether to commit Mr Gittany for trial.

Did you get my message? HELLO? I spent the whole night howling into the giant white porcelain telephone we keep in the bathroom, trying to let you know I wasn't feeling well and probably wouldn't make it in to work today, and that you'll have to get your internet entertainment somewhere else.
Hello? HELLO?!? Maybe it was a really bad connection. There was this ghastly background echo of gagging and retching. I also wasn't firing smoothly on all circuits: I was delirious and dehydrated, and I think I briefly turned into a worm, all endoderm and smooth muscle and peristalsis. The hindbrain emesis circuitry was working just fine, though, and was doing a fabulous job of moving my dinner through my digestive tract. Backwards. Let me tell you, I really regretted all those jalapenos I'd put on my salad.
I tried to warn you. I was sending out warnings to every one of you every 45 minutes all night long. I was pretty frantic. Oh, well, maybe they'll show up in your voicemail later.
Uh…one thing. I might have accidentally uploaded an attachment. I pushed the button on the upper right of the porcelain phone's console, and it made a wooshing sound like it was sending something big off into the world.
You might not want to open that.

Full schedule of events planned around IGRA Finals Rodeo in Fort Worth this weekend
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer
The "best of the best" in the world of LGBT rodeo are coming to North Texas this weekend to dress goats, decorate steers, wrestle steers and ride wild horses and bulls, according to Randy Edlin, president of the Texas Gay Rodeo Association.
A total of 90 competitors will be competing in the 25th World Gay Rodeo Finals, being held Saturday and Sunday at the Watt Arena in the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth. They will be representing the 27 local International Gay and Lesbian Rodeo Association affiliates around North America, including two from Texas — Texas Gay Rodeo Association, which has five chapters around the state, and Red River Rodeo Association, based in Aubrey, northeast of Denton.
Edlin said that participation in the IGRA Finals Rodeo is by invitation only. Contestants earn points through the year at regional rodeos, and the top 20 in each event are invited to the World Gay Rodeo Finals.
Edlin will compete in the chute-dogging event, sometimes known as steer wrestling, and in two camp events, the wild drag race and steer decorating.
Dan Nagel, president of the Dallas chapter of TGRA, said the camp events are one of the things that distinguish gay rodeo from traditional rodeo, adding to the entertainment and fun. But the inclusion of the camp events, he said, shouldn't fool anyone into thinking gay rodeo contestants aren't as tough as the mainstream rodeo cowboys and cowgirls.
In fact, Nagel said, the caliber of participants in IGRA's 10 more traditional events are equal to those in any rodeo, and a number of members of TGRA also enter other rodeos.
Another difference between the gay rodeos and mainstream rodeos is that in gay rodeos, men and women may compete in all events.
In mainstream rodeos, you usually only see women competing in barrel racing. In gay rodeos, men race the barrels, too. Chute-dogging is usually a men's event in the mainstream, but the women are out there wrestling steers, too, at the gay rodeos.
Nagel called those two events two of the most competitive on the circuit.
Gary Miller, owner of Dallas' Round-Up Saloon who is also a former TGRA president, explained that while men and women compete together in chute-dogging, the top male competitor and the top female competitor both get first place trophy buckles.
Miller encouraged people who might be interested in participating in rodeo come to Fort Worth to see the sport's finest athletes and recommended the camp events for those just starting.
"Try goat decorating," Miller said. "You won't get hurt and you don't have to have the skills of riding a horse or roping."
Nagel agreed that some camp events are great for newcomers. But he called the wild drag race — in which teams of three, with one of the three in drag, work to get their member in drag on a steer and across the finish line in the fastest time — one of the most dangerous events on the circuit.
Miller and his partner, Alan Pierce, have been named honorary grand marshals of the rodeo. Miller joked that it was a role he was getting very used to filling. Two weeks ago, the pair were grand marshals of the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade.
"It's an honor for us since we've been involved since the 1980s," Miller said.
Miller was among founding members of Texas Gay Rodeo Association in 1985 and served as its first president. Pierce helped form the Houston chapter while working at Bayou Landing, a country-western bar in that city.
The couple met through their work with the rodeo and became owners of the Round-Up in 1998. They celebrated their 26th anniversary this year.
Miller said the Round-Up Saloon sponsors five participants by paying their entry fees. He said rodeo can become an expensive sport, especially
for those traveling with their horses.
"It's a big deal to trailer one in, especially from the coasts," Miller said.
He said the trip takes several days because they have to stop every few hours to exercise the horses.
Events connected with the rodeo begin at the Crowne Plaza Fort Worth South, the host hotel, on Friday, Oct. 7. The honorary grand marshals will be presented at a dance at the hotel that evening.
The finals rodeo events begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, then again at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 9.
"Peak spectator time is noon to 5 p.m.," Nagel said. "They'll run slack in the morning."
"Running slack" means that rather than have all 20 competitors take part in one event twice in one day and declare winners, some of the entries from a variety of events will run in the morning. That way people attending during the peak afternoon hours will get to see the full variety of events.
Winners won't be named until Sunday evening after each competitor in each event has been scored in that event twice.
In addition to the competitions taking place in the Watt Arena, a vendor area and an entertainment area will be set up in an adjoining building.
Edlin said each regional association has "royalty" — association members who have competed throughout the year and raised money for their associations to claim the Mr., Miss and Ms. Titles — and they will be entertaining throughout the day.
Nagel said that IGRA's archives of the 35 years of gay rodeo and 25 years of international competition will be on display at the arena as well.
Dance has always been a big part of gay rodeo. Saturday night, a dance competition takes place at the host hotel.
Despite the fact that a Nevada sheriff shut down the finals in 1988 because area residents didn't want "those type of people" in town, Edlin said the rodeo is a great place to bring kids.
"Gay rodeo is very family-oriented," Edlin said. "It's not cut-throat competition."
Edlin has been involved since 1999.
"Friends took me to a gay rodeo in Calgary and I was hooked," he said. "I've been involved ever since."
Edlin said gay rodeo is so welcoming and family-oriented that a number of straight people participate in gay rodeo — including his straight son, a two-time Iraq War veteran who competes in chute-dogging and junior bull riding.
Nagel said TGRA has a number of straight members who enjoy the close friendships and fun.
"But the other side of all this is that we give money to the community," he said.
Last year, the Dallas chapter of TGRA gave $30,000 to eight local groups including Resource Center Dallas and Youth First Texas. This year, he said, they're already ahead in the amount they've collected. They'll distribute those funds in March.

"It was one of our goals when we began the season but, of course, the big one is still ahead of us," Cyclones head coach John Frazier said.
The Cyclones topped Mountain Home and Searcy on Tuesday at Old Post Park for the championship — two teams they'll see again at the state meet on Nov. 9 at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs. Russellville won the conference meet in 2012, but was edged out of the state tournament by Mountain Home.
"Lake Hamilton and Mountain Home are going to be the two we are competing against," Frazier said. "Mountain Home ran really well today and Lake Hamilton is always good. It's going to be close. It's going to be whoever shows up and runs well as a team. It's going to be a dog fight, for sure."
The Cyclones' front runners, Mason Rhodes and Joey Shirley, have their eyes squarely on the state title. According to Frazier, it's been that way since the start of the season.
"Conference really isn't a whole lot to us," Shirley explained. "I mean, it's big, but we're looking at state instead of conference right now."
The Lady Cyclones finished third behind Mountain Home and Greenwood with a team score of 63 points. Russellville was without lead runner Morgan Smith, but Frazier was pleased with their performance nonetheless.
The Lady Cyclones had one runner place in the top 10. Kenya McDaniel ran a 23:13.90, but other Lady Cyclones contributed to the third-place finish. Frazier said Kaitlin Walker, Katherine Skartdedt and Brooke Knight all ran well on Tuesday.
"Walker's time has just improved throughout the year," Frazier said. "She set a personal record last week in Lake Hamilton with a 23:01 and ran well today. Knight is a senior that has overcome an injury this year. Over the last three meets, her time has improved dramatically. I was very proud of her to overcome what she has contributed to the team."
For the Cyclones to win sate, both Frazier and Rhodes said the team would need to improve their times through the middle of the roster.
Frazier said he was proud of the seniors who "stepped up, ran well and finished where we expected them to," but the number 3-7 runners will have to improve their times.
"And they know it," Frazier added.

Tufts Quidditch is fundraising in order to get to nationals. This year their traveling team placed fourth in the Northeast regionals in order to secure a point in the national championship. Tufts Quidditch took second place at the 2010 Quidditch World Cup and after a few difficult years are making a comeback!
They made a fundraising page on the site gofundme.com and have raised about half of their goal so far. In addition, they have been selling shirts in the campus center as another way to raise funds. The shirts, as you can see below, highlight the differences and similarities between Hogwarts and Tufts.
Good luck to the Tufts Qudditch team in raising enough funds to attend the national championship in Orlando, Florida! Bring back a trophy!

As two former congressional staffers who, in 1998, drafted what remains the only balanced, bipartisan, bicameral Social Security reform legislation, we know firsthand how hard it is to craft a meaningful compromise that honestly addresses the challenges facing our nation's most popular entitlement program. We are, therefore, extremely alarmed by the harsh partisan reaction to the innocuous efforts of AARP and For Our Grandchildren encouraging candidates to engage in a constructive discussion about Social Security reform.
Groups on the left and Democrats in Congress have attacked a candidate pledge being circulated by For Our Grandchildren as a stalking horse for "privatization" even though the pledge never mentions personal accounts. The pledge simply states, "[A]ll options should be on the table" and commits candidates "to work toward a bipartisan solution to strengthen Social Security for the long term by putting aside partisan politics and seeking common ground."
Not to be outdone in Social Security demagoguery, the National Republican Campaign Committee has attacked Democratic candidates for proposing to "slash Social Security benefits" and raise taxes because candidates affirmed their support in an AARP voter guide for "a balanced Social Security plan to continue the program's guaranteed benefits for future generations."
It is ironic that AARP has become a victim of the political distortions that surround Social Security because the group has, at times, engaged in equally inflammatory rhetoric. Nonetheless, AARP's acknowledgement that Social Security is financially unstable, as well as the group's call for a balanced reform plan, should be embraced as building blocks for consensus rather than used as the basis for political attacks. Similarly, For Our Grandchildren -- an organization that advocates the addition of personal accounts -- should be lauded, not lambasted, for promoting a bipartisan process for Social Security reform that is not contingent on support for its key principles. A true bipartisan process must begin without preconditions for reform.
There was a time not long ago when elected officials were willing to put partisanship aside to have thoughtful discussions about Social Security. We worked for two Members of Congress, Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) and Charlie Stenholm (D-TX) whose commitment to bipartisan cooperation on this issue was such that they were willing to come to the aid of members of the other party who were attacked for supporting reforms of Social Security.
The willingness to rise above partisanship on Social Security has extended to the Oval Office. Following his State of the Union Address last year, President Bush assured listeners, "I don't care whether it's a Democrat idea, Republican idea, independent idea, I'm interested in ideas. I want to work with members of the Congress.... [O]ther people have had some good ideas; they're on the table. And if you want to lay one out, I promise you there won't be political retribution for having done so.""
And in 1998, President Clinton made this admonition at a forum hosted by The Concord Coalition and AARP in July 1998:
We dare not let this disintegrate into a partisan rhetorical battle. Senior citizens are going to be Republicans and Democrats and independents. They're going to come from all walks of life, from all income backgrounds, from every region of this country, and therefore, so will their children and their grandchildren. This is an American challenge and we have to meet it together.
Unfortunately, these words have fallen on deaf ears as candidates from both parties engage in a race to the bottom. The recent Minnesota Senate debate on Meet the Press, for example,showcased Rep. Mark Kennedy (R) and Hennepin County attorney Amy Klobuchar (D) in a race to outbid each other in ruling out options for Social Security reform. Note to Congressional candidates: if all options are off the table, how do you solve the problem? Regrettably, this type of destructive debate is being repeated in campaigns across the country.
While it is easy for critics to attack specific proposals for reform and make promises about preserving benefit promises or opposing taxes, it is difficult to put together a plan that puts Social Security on a sound financial footing. Finding a solution will require legislators from both parties to come together and consider all possible solutions. This will be more difficult in a Congress composed of members who won election by using Social Security as a wedge issue and others who fended off attacks by pledging to oppose any changes in Social Security.
Sadly, rather than use the platform offered by AARP and For Our Grandchildren to conduct a serious debate about the future of Social Security, some in both parties have used them to deploy Social Security as a political weapon. The problem with pursuing this scorched earth strategy, however, is that it leaves no fertile soil to nurture the seeds of reform.

Nice news on Swimming Day at UGA. Paddle on, Bulldogs. http://recruiting.blog.ajc.com/2014/...no-1-prospect/
For being such a high-ranking recruit, Mr. Thompson has kept a relatively low-keyed summer. But after missing on so many instate defensive linemen, UGA has landed Lorenzo Carter and Thompson in back to back years. I'd say there are signs of something stirring in the East. But then I remember that it's Georgia.

That is a big get for UGA. Although, I doubt Kirby will quit recruiting him. This definitely makes Daron Payne even more important.
I think we need to go hard to focus more on Daron Payne myself.

Dallas are a stupid franchise. They ever had an establish post player and expect to be an elite team in the NBA.
The reason why Miami beat was because Miami can produce in the paint, where as Dallas never had a presence in the paint.
Its time for Dallas to trade Dirk.
Chandler and Duhon gettin it done!!
[NBA JAM]Hes on Fire!!![/NBA JAM]
i wudnt call them a stupid franchise, they have been pretty damn succesful since cuban took over. but i agree with you about a post presence. i remember they tried to make dirk one, and that didnt exactly work. but why trade dirk? why not trade an unhappy howard and try to make a deal like that. i feel dirk will be in dallas uniform for a long time, especially if he takes that paycut he said he would.....and about the d-harris trade, ill admit i never knew harris had that kinda skills. i thought the nets won in the trade, but i never envisioned they were getting a close-to-be superstar.
Does anyone get the feeling the refs have a huge bet against the Knicks? There are so many bad calls, it's getting ridiculous.
Still, we're playing very well. Our defense is pretty good, and our offense is efficient. Hope we can finish this one out, and get a win.
Thank Nate Robinson for our failure tonight.
4-16, 1-9 from 3
Has got serious Crawford syndrome. Kid has never met a shot he didn't like. This system needs ball movement, and he thinks that means dribble a lot then take an awful shot after a poor one on one play.
All the talent and athleticism, just not the brain.
i dont give a F*ck what ya say, i miss crawford no homo

"The nature of the day was participatory, so instead of doing a presentation on stage (as I did at Interesting 2007), this time I attempted to get all 200ish people in the room trying, making and tasting things. By-the-by, this is also one of the hardest things I've done in years – scaling to 200 people took an awful amount of thinking and prep. Apologies if I've seemed scatty in the last few weeks."
Always something fun and interesting from this guy. He's a practical microbiologist too!


text: I spun some wafers, and even when using the tape over the top cover hole, there seems to be an airflow leak into the chamber during spin. This lead to results that look only slightly better than if the hole remained open during the spin. I ran one wafer while pressing down on the clear cover at the screw at 8 O'Clock and the uniformity was much better. I suspect that there is a leak around the top cover O-ring at this site. Perhaps the screws need to be tightened a bit to seal the O-ring better?

I'm rather new to compiling and creating large projects that include many source files, header files, resource files etc... since i've only really programmed code that fits within one to two files, extensive games, VGA fractal programs etc... however since I've really gotten into C++ I want to learn how to manage many files that can be easly altered and manipulated to change a desired effect. Like makeing .h files for each fractal type withing a fractal rendering program for example.
When I download other peoples source and binary files I find that 90% of the time I can't compile for my life their projects! I want to be able to compile a linux distro, or any project I want that I can download. I think that I don't know enough about how the workings of project managment go, and therefor I lack skill in programming that I really want!
I would like to know how to manage source files, and work with the GNU compiler GCC. I use DevCpp for everything, but I want to know how to compile the likes of Blender the 3D application, or other open source applications of the like. Understanding how to do this I belive would make me a better programmer and I would really appreciate any help on the matter!!!
-In advance, THANK YOU!

Unbelievable. Where's the logic in this sort of thing, given what happened a month ago?
Here is some free PR advice for the National Rifle Association: Now is not the time to release a target practice iOS app—especially one intended for kids. According to the NRA, the app is intended for children as young as age four.
In Target Practice you can choose to test your skills in an indoor or outdoor range or opt to shoot skeet. You get to pick your weapon, and you can pony up $1 to unlock better (more powerful) guns. For example, in the outdoor range your default is an M16, but you can upgrade to an AK47 or an MK11 if you pay. It's really just a point-and-shoot game, but the fact that it's meant for kids is straight up stupid.
It would be a different story if the app were teaching kids about gun safety. As advertised, Target Practice does give safety tips, but they aren't the kinds of things that are going to keep a child from accidentally setting off a gun in the home. They're tidbits like, "keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot" or "know your target and what is beyond it." And the official Safety Tips section just takes you out of the app to the NRA's website.
Not that it should surprise you at this point, but the organization really missed an opportunity here. This would be an excellent time to teach kids about gun safety; too many children are killed each year by accidentally setting off firearms in their homes. Kids see guns in games and they think guns in real life are games. That's just how innocent minds work. And that's what makes this app—like most moves this out of touch lobbyist group has made in recent memory—both poorly timed and poorly executed. How about something productive for once? I guess that's too much to ask of an organization whose only interest is to get guns into peoples' hands. [The Appside via TheNextWeb via App Store]

Powered by four home runs, Brett Myers pitched the Phils to a 7-3 victory over the Bronx Bombers.
Helped by four home runs, Brett Myers would pitch eight strong innings as the Phils defeated the New York Yankees in the New Yankees Stadium, 7-3.
The Phillies took a quick 1-0 lead on the game's first pitch as Jimmy Rollins hits a lead-off home run, his third home run of the season. In the second, the Phils increased their lead as, with one man on, and one man out, Carlos Ruiz hits a two-run home run, his first home run of the year, knocking in Matt Stairs, who had earlier singled, to give the Phils a 3-0 lead. In the fifth, with one man on, and two men out, Jayson Werth hits a two-run home run, his eighth home run of the year, scoring Ryan Howard, who had earlier hit into a force out, 1-6, wiping out Raul Ibanez, who had earlier walked, at second base, to make it a 5-0 Phils lead. The Yankees finally got onto the board in the sixth as, with two men out, Alex Rodriguez hits a solo home run, his sixth home run of the year, making it a 5-1 Phils' lead. The Phils got that run back in the seventh, as, with one man out, Ibanez hits a solo home run, his sixteenth home run of the season, giving the Phils a 6-1 lead. The Phils tacked on another run in the eighth as, with two men on, and one man out, Chase Utley hits an RBI single, scoring Pedro Feliz, who had earlier singled, and had gone on to second on Rollins' single, making it a 7-1 Phils' lead, while he sent Rollins, who had just singled, over to second. In the bottom half of the eighth, the Yanks would get a run back as Derek Jeter hits a lead-off home run, his sixth home run of the season, making it a 7-3 Phillies' lead. Two batters later, with one man out, Mark Teixeira would hit a solo home run of his own, his twelfth home run of the season, cutting the Phillies' lead down to 7-3. But that would be the final score as Ryan Madson would shut down the Yanks in the ninth inning.
Brett Myers got the win as he pitched eight strong innings, giving up three runs on eight hits, while striking out five. His record is now 4-2 with a 4.34 ERA. Ryan Madson pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out a batter. A. J. Burnett took the lost, as he went six innings, giving up five runs on eight hits, two walks and a hit batter, while he struck out seven. His record is now 2-2 with a 5.28 ERA. Chien-Ming Wang pitched three innings of relief, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk, as he struck out two.
The Phils had fourteen hits in the game, with Carlos Ruiz leading the way with four hits, raising his average to .271. Jimmy Rollins, Raul Ibanez, Jayson Werth and Shane Victorino followed with two hits each. Chase Utley, Matt Stairs and Pedro Feliz had the other three Phillies' hits.Ryan Howard was the other starter not to get a hit. Werth and Ruiz had two RBIs each, while Rollins, Ibanez and Utley each knocked in a run. The Phils had five extra-base hits in the game, four home runs and a triple. The Phillies have now won seven of the eight games that they have so far played on this road trip as they go for their third straight road series win this afternoon.
The Phillies (23-17, 1st) continue their three-games weekend series with the Yankees (24-18, 3rd American League East), with an afternoon game that will be televised nationally on Fox Sports. The game will begin at 4:10 pm Eastern at the new Yankees Stadium. The Phillies will send to the mound J.A. Happ (2-0, 2.49), who will be making his first start of the season. His last appearance, as a reliever, was made on May 15, as he pitched two innings, giving up no runs on one hit and a walk, while striking out three, as he picked up the win, in the Phils' 10-6 extra-innings win. Happ will be going out there to prove that he deserved to be the team's fifth starter. The Yankees will counter with Andy Pettitte (4-1, 4.18), who is coming off a win against the Twins on May 18, where he went six and two-thirds innings, giving up four runs on twelve hits and one walk, while striking out three, in the Yanks' 7-6 win. He will be going for his fifth win of the season. The Phillies will be going out to try and win their eighth game in their ten games road trip, while showing that they are a team to be respected.

Federal prosecutors in Little Rock agreed to drop the remaining charges against Helena-West Helena Police Officer Herman Eaton in exchange for his guilty plea.
Prosecutors also agreed to recommend a 16-month prison sentence for Eaton. A judge will later decide whether to heed that recommendation.
Eaton is one of five law enforcement officers — out of 71 people — indicted in an investigation dubbed "Operation Delta Blues." The probe, announced in October, focused on corruption and drug trafficking in the Mississippi Delta town of Helena-West Helena.
Eaton's plea comes after Helena-West Helena Police Officer Robert "Bam Bam" Rogers and former Marvell Police Officer Robert Wahls both pleaded guilty last month. Prosecutors recommended a 16-month prison sentence for Rogers and a two-year sentence for Wahls.
Federal prosecutors said the other two law enforcement officers who were indicted in the investigation are awaiting trial.
As part of Eaton's plea agreement, federal prosecutors said he had to admit that he took money for escorting someone posing as a drug trafficker.
Eaton's attorney, Blake Hendrix, confirmed the recommended sentence but declined to comment further.

HOUSTON - The bright red-orange hair and vacant stares from James Holmes in court Monday had millions fixed to their televisions. Houstonians spoke out about Holmes' appearance and behavior.
Holmes did not speak but his hair color, vacant eyes and occasional glances down, were enough to make Sherry Atkins question his sanity.
"I just don't understand how someone could do that," she said. "I always think, 'What part of their brain isn't working so that they would disvalue human life so much?'"
Given his academic background and the months of planning investigators said Holmes allegedly put into the shooting, Greg Dehmer wondered if this court appearance is just another dramatic act for Holmes.
"His expression that he was making ... I don't know if he trying to plead like he's insane," Dehmer said.
According to investigators, it could take months to understand what motivated Holmes to allegedly commit these crimes.

Cook exceeds expectations, teammates
Out for 2 1/2 months, he turns in longest Rox start of Series
By C.J. Moore / MLB.com
DENVER -- Aaron Cook defied logic and a Red Sox lineup that had made his fellow Rockies starters take cover early. Cook lasted six-plus innings Sunday night in the Rockies' 4-3 loss to the Red Sox, who completed a World Series sweep. He was the first Rockies starter to last more than five innings in the World Series, which he did in his first outing since Aug. 10. "I felt like I did a pretty good job for being off for 10 months -- or 10 weeks," Cook said. "Ten months would have been even more impressive." It's tough to think Cook could have been any more impressive in his six-plus innings of work. He made Rockies manager Clint Hurdle look like a genius for deciding to put him on the World Series roster and start him in Game 4 despite his long layoff because of a strained oblique muscle. He showed little evidence of his time off. "You're probably going to be a little rusty, so you never know how you're going to be," fellow starter Ubaldo Jimenez said. "He was out for two months and to come out in the World Series and do the job he did, he's one of a kind to do that." Cook said his World Series jitters were quickly wiped away once he started getting loose and he felt prepared after starting the Rockies Opening Day game in April. It showed, as Cook commanded the strike zone and never panicked. Cook yielded three runs, forced 13 ground-ball outs and walked none, but did have two mistakes that cost him, leaving two balls up to Mike Lowell. Lowell doubled in the fifth and eventually scored on a Jason Varitek single, and then knocked Cook out of the game with a leadoff homer in the seventh. "I went out there and was able to still command my sinker," Cook said. "I got a couple of them up and those were the runs that they scored, but other than that I felt really good." The Rockies starting pitching was one of their downfalls in the World Series. After posting a 2.43 ERA through the first two rounds of the playoffs, Rockies starters gave up 14 runs in 11 1/3 innings in the first three games against the Red Sox. Jimenez's 4 2/3 innings had been the furthest a Rockies starter had pitched in the World Series.

Although Cook took the loss and left the game with the Rockies trailing 3-0, he at least gave the Rockies a chance to win.As he walked off the field to a standing ovation, he tipped his cap to the Rockies fans and his teammates tipped their caps to him. "It almost made us mad watching how easy pitching is to him," Game 1 starter Jeff Francis said. "He was having a blast out there, you could tell. He threw out more than what we expected and it's just a shame we couldn't put it together all at the same time."

A sticky situation.
Any readers with acute arachnophobia should turn their browsers elsewhere. GR is about to kick out more eight-legged goodness than Charlotte's Web by checking out Spider-Man: The Movie, an action game not unlike the movie in its impressive effects and technology.
However, it's obvious that this game was made relatively simple in order to satisfy all audiences. True, Spider-Man has become a trans-demographic icon. Still, I had hoped the gameplay wouldn't be as repetitious and straightforward...and oh, those painful load times.
The game is loosely based on the movie's story. You've been bitten, Uncle Ben is...well, you know (if you're a Spidey fan or have seen the movie), and you begin by searching for the baddies who were mean to your uncle. This results in you realizing that great power calls for great responsibility. You criss-cross a few threads of red, blue and black fabric and voila! The famous Underoos are born.
In your new get-up, you'll battle against several mainstay Spidey villains, which incidentally were not in the movie. It's another case of time versus authenticity. You can't very well have a game that parallels the movie's two-hour running time, not at $50 bucks a game. So Vulture, Shocker, Scorpion and others are here to stretch things out and distract the Wall Crawler from his final confrontation with the Green Goblin. The story is loose and kind of thrown together, but sufficient.
The basic gameplay is about the same as the previous PSX Spider-Man games. You use your few punch and kick combos to lay waste to small groups of like-modeled enemies. Find the gold spider icons to learn new combat techniques (some of which are very Spidey & comical). Pick up keys and other items necessary to advance to the next area, where you will do battle with the next small group of assailants.
The blue and red Spidey icons make a return for replenishing your webbing and health. This is interesting because in the movie, the Web-slinger has organic webbing that doesn't need to be artificially produced and seems to be unlimited. Having to refill your web cartridges is something carried over from the last games and the traditional comic book Spider-Man. Why this idea was retained is beyond me.
The main character moves like you would expect. He sticks to all surfaces and can spin many different types webbing (shields, web covered fists, webs for pulling and swinging enemies, etc.). When you see him swinging through the city, high above all the buildings and you're wondering what the heck that webbing is sticking to, just remember (if you're old enough) that this is very much like watching the old Marvel cartoon show. It's also less cheesy than the old live-action show. You gotta appreciate that!
The best feature of Spider-Man: The Movie is the terrific feel of the game's outdoor areas. It's great fun swinging from building to building while fighting enemies at staggering heights. Conversely, indoor levels are less spectacular. It's back to fighting small groups of unintelligent foot soldiers with your various punches and kicks.
Controlling Spidey can be a little tricky at first, but easily learned. The biggest problem has always been the camera. The camera moves independently of the character; you still can't lock it to your back, classic third-person style. You have the ability to turn it 360 degrees via the right analog stick, but it can be incredibly annoying in the heat of battle. To help with this they offer a lock-on button, which keeps one enemy in your sights at all times. This is definitely helpful, though it's not very smart and seems to lock onto enemies randomly and not just your closest attacker.
The lock-on does provide some very cinematic aerial battles, since the camera pans to follow the enemy. You get a lot of really dynamic and dramatic angles that are simply too cool.
While all the versions pretty much play identically, this PS2 version is the least likely to be asked to the Prom. Compared to the others, Spidey's PS2 world is grainy with jagged edges. There is a lot of noticeable slowdown from numerous onscreen NPCs. Spidey himself seems to be a bit anorexic, possessing fewer polygons than the GC and Xbox versions. The PS2 version also has the longest load times of all the platforms. This incarnation really shows the limitations of the PS2.
At least there are plenty of goodies to unlock (costumes, movies, comic covers, etc.) to keep you coming back for more once the credits role.
Spider-Man: The Movie for the PS2 doesn't hold up to its console brothers. Its graphical flaws and long load times keep the superhero from escaping the web of PS2 programming problems. Still, swinging around as Spider-Man has never really been this cool before, and this version is still worth a rental.

Paul Konerko postgame interview
First baseman comments on hitting third postseason homer
By / MLB.com
PAUL KONERKO: It wasn't like a relief like we haven't been swinging the bats well. I think it was more the first couple games it was for tipping your hat to their pitcher, so it wasn't like relief like we've been in a slump or anything like that. When you're on the road in front of a big crowd that's rowdy and into it, it's always good to get on the board even with a run in the first.
I thought J.D.'s (Dye) hit was big, and if you can get some hits early it kind of takes the crowd out of it, and that's what happened.
The at-bat was 1-2, then you got him to 3-2. Can you talk about that and were you surprised he came with the curveball and tell us what you were thinking throughout that at-bat?
KONERKO: Yeah, I saw a lot of breaking balls. I don't think I saw a fastball the whole at-bat. I'm pretty sure I didn't. He's got a base open there. I don't know, you're trying to get a read on whether he's coming after you or not coming after you, and you have to kind of, I was trying to just resist the urge to think that he was going to walk me and start with the next guy because when you do that, you usually let a good one go. I was trying to stay in there but not try to do too much. It didn't really feel all that great.
Home runs happen when you least expect it, and that was definitely the case there.
Can you talk about your starting pitching? I'm sure you're going to have lots of phrases for it, but can you talk about how dominating the starting pitchers have been?
KONERKO: It's nothing we haven't seen all year. It's the reason why we're here. You know, they just, I think there's a healthy competition amongst those guys. You know, they kind of try to out do each other. That's always good when you have that on the staff. They're just good. There's no way to explain it. All year they've been, I mean, all five of our starters at one point or another have been aces throughout the course of the season. I don't know how many teams can say that. Garland, we just hopped on his back tonight and just rode him.
KONERKO: I don't worry too much about that with our guys. Our guys have short memories, which is good when you're going bad and it's good when you're going good, as well. We show up to the park every day. I think a lot of it has to do with Ozzie. He preaches on how to come to the park every day ready to play the game regardless of what happened the day before, and that also means good things.
When you have good games you've got to forget about those because when you're playing a good team like the Angels, those guys will be ready to play. Ozzie told us at the beginning of the playoffs, every time you win a game in the playoffs, the next game will be the toughest game to win because the team you're playing is good and they're going to dig down even harder to win that game because now they have to do it. I don't really worry about our guys coming to play. We're going to come to play, and whether we have enough talent to win or not, that's yet to be seen, but coming to play is not an issue with our team.
Someone else mentioned earlier Mike Scioscia was talking about he was your catching instructor briefly, and he said he could tell you would be a good hitter but maybe catching wasn't your forte. Could you talk about those days and what you remember from that?
KONERKO: I was going to say it was my catching instructor's fault (laughter), but no, I think Mike was one of the guys that moved me. I caught about a year and a half in the Minor Leagues, and he was the catching instructor at the time. I think a couple people, himself included, put their heads together and decided it would be best if I moved. They told me if I really loved catching I could go back to A ball, but if I wanted to move, I could be the starting first baseman in Double-A, and I said, "That's all I need to hear. Give me the glove."

Los Angeles Lakers
With Gary Payton running the show, they have an energy level they haven't had before and that's scary for everybody else.
Sacramento Kings
The Kings are still winning, but until Chris Webber gets back sometime next month, we won't know exactly where they are.
Dallas Mavericks
Four games into it and the Mavs already have had five double-doubles from four different players. They may get the first seed with this offense.
New Jersey Nets
Alonzo Mourning is playing well and Jason Kidd is playing at the highest level possible. Will they walk to the East title?
Detroit Pistons
They aren't playing great yet, but their two wins are on the road, which speaks volumes about how tough they are.
New Orleans Hornets
They don't and won't have Jamal Mashburn (knee surgery) for quite some time, but Baron Davis is playing extraordinarily well.
Houston Rockets
They aren't in sync yet and this is too high, but they're going to get better quickly as Jeff Van Gundy's coaching sinks in.
Minnesota Timberwolves
They are struggling to find rhythm with four new starters, so hang with them until further notice.
San Antonio Spurs
Without Tony Parker, they're not a particularly exceptional team and if Tim Duncan is out, they're in big trouble.
Boston Celtics
If Vin Baker's return to effectiveness is permanent, they'll be a serious contender in the East.
Indiana Pacers
They aren't quite there yet -- like so many other groups -- but they are playing hard and improving daily.
Memphis Grizzlies
This is high for them, but they are real and will improve as the season progresses -- showing flashes of special play already.
Philadelphia 76ers
They just got Glenn Robinson after a three-game suspension, so it will take time for them to hit their stride.
Phoenix Suns
They have great young talent, but over the long haul will regret giving away Bo Outlaw and Jake Tsakalidis to cut costs.
Portland Trail Blazers
Something is missing here -- and it might just be the lost leadership of Scottie Pippen and Arvydas Sabonis.
Denver Nuggets
No, this isn't a typo. Not only do Carmelo Anthony and Andre Miller make them better, but if Marcus Camby is healthy, watch out.
Golden State Warriors
They need Nick Van Exel, Troy Murphy and Jason Richardson to return, but if others hold the fort, they'll be tough.
Seattle SuperSonics
Rashard Lewis is on the brink of becoming a star, and even without Ray Allen (ankle), they can score a lot of points.
Toronto Raptors
As long as Vince Carter is healthy, they're dangerous. But he is in serious need of help for consistent scoring.
New York Knicks
The Knicks haven't looked good, but Keith Van Horn is scoring, Allan Houston is getting healthy and they will get Antonio McDyess soon.
Utah Jazz
Jerry Sloan has convinced these guys that if they play great defense and go harder than the other guys they can win. And they are.
Orlando Magic
It has been stunning how badly the Magic have played so far, and confusing. Imagine how coach Doc Rivers feels.
Milwaukee Bucks
It doesn't matter that Terry Porter is a rookie coach. As long as the players believe and respond, they'll improve.
Washington Wizards
They are so young, but the talent is there and they will get better -- upsetting good teams along the way on occasion.
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks have been better, just unable to pull out games late. Two overtime losses hurt confidence, particularly early in the season.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The dust has cleared from the LeBron James hype coming off an 0-3 road trip. Now we'll see if they can actually win games.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls have been positively horrid so far, despite the youthful enthusiasm. Could be a roster shakeup coming soon.
Miami Heat
Pat Riley resigns as coach, Lamar Odom sprains an ankle two minutes later, and ... look out below.
Los Angeles Clippers
Wasn't it just 12 months ago the Clippers were being mentioned as a potential 50-win playoff team? Yeah, right.

can u imagine...in that gas store there must be at least 3 magazines that cover kristen's rumors...Oh and Kristen rocks but hope she gets her beautiful hair back soonReplyDelete
Everyone gets gas, but not everyone does it looking like Joan Jett . . . :)ReplyDelete
In the 3rd pic, her pretty eyes are a nice contrast to the dark, hard-edged hair.
Gets gas, has gas - we are all the same! hahaReplyDelete
I would seriously love for her to get a stylist. Someone that could help her shop and not sacrifice her edge. It's obvious that she is self conscious about the mullet. It makes me feel uncomfortable for her.ReplyDelete
But I agree, the dark hair really brings out her eyes.
Oh that hair is horrendous. I know it's a must but jeez-Louise it's terrible!ReplyDelete

I hope she runs over the paparazzi with her car, they're annoying.ReplyDelete
I agree with some of you...I can understand that this change was necessary for her new role...but she looks awful...she looks exahusted and older!! Has the movie start filming and that's why she needed the change? If not, then why she change her hair so soon? I hope they get good extension for Eclipse! She's taking her role pretty serious! haha I like her anyway! Maybe she needs vacation! ;-)ReplyDelete
I'd be wearing a hat if I was going out in public with hair like that. I get that it's for a role, but whoa-that is one ugly mullet.ReplyDelete

I feel really bad for her. She really has a lot on her plate, and seems like she is nervous. I would be too if I were in her place, and I think she handles all of this really well.ReplyDelete

This just proves again that bad hair can make anyone look awful. I feel for her as I have accidently achieved that color while home coloring myself!! She is such a beautiful girl but just looks so tired. How is she going to recover in time for Eclipse?ReplyDelete
You guys are Morons..I doubt she really cares all that much if she looks hot with her hairdo or not.It's her job. IT'S FOR A ROLE OF A CHARACTER and that is EXACTLY how they wore their hair back then. I know i grew up in the 80's. I actually think she looks cute! I don't think she is looks insecure at all.ReplyDelete
Your ROCKING it girl!
Sirena, I agree. I love to see a real actress in a real role. She does movies about interesting female characters, she isn't playing "the love interest" or the piece of a** the camera ogles. But Kstew is kind of workaholic right now. She has said she would like to go to college and study literature, I hope she finds time to relax some and do that.ReplyDelete

I actually like it. And if she really cared a f***k what people thought of her new haircut she would wear a hat. So she obviously doesn't care and is just engrossed in doing her job for this next movie. Sometimes women that prettify themselves are so insecure and wouldn't be caught dead without makeup etc. which is really stupid and fake. At least Kristen has balls enough to be herself and I, for one, applaud her.ReplyDelete

A-Rod named baseball's most clutch
Yankees slugger claims inaugural award presented by Pepsi
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
For his efforts in what will be remembered as a remarkable individual season worthy of praise, Rodriguez has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the 2007 Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Year, presented by Pepsi.
The officially sanctioned Major League Baseball award recognizes the player who performed his best when the game was on the line, and was revealed during a one-hour special, produced by Major League Baseball Productions, on ESPN on Wednesday.
Off to a disappointing 21-29 start despite Rodriguez's exceptional opening act, the Yankees had a large hole to dig out of if they wanted to keep their streak of 13 consecutive postseason appearances intact.
The 32-year-old Rodriguez had a major hand in helping them do so, leading all of baseball with 143 runs scored, 54 home runs, 156 RBIs, and a .645 slugging percentage.
"It's a year I'm proud of, just because the guys battled hard all year," Rodriguez said recently. "It's been the toughest year trying to get to the postseason, that's for sure. Many people kind of doubted us, and it's weird for us to be able to overcome such adversity. Personally, I feel good about the year."
No batter in the Major Leagues hit more home runs to tie the game or put his team ahead, situations in which Rodriguez went deep 22 times. Philadelphia's Ryan Howard and Houston's Lance Berkman tied Rodriguez in that category.
Rodriguez's success in the late innings certainly helped his case, showing a great improvement over his performances in 2006. Rodriguez batted .463 (19-for-41) with eight home runs and 21 RBIs in the ninth innings of games this year, compared with .143 (5-for-35) with three home runs and five RBIs last season.
"I realized that I'm going to let my baseball do the talking," Rodriguez said.
One of Rodriguez's most memorable moments -- and a tell-tale sign that this year had earmarks of being different for him -- came April 7, during the Yankees' first homestand, as A-Rod stepped in against Baltimore reliever Chris Ray.
Having already hit a two-run homer earlier in the game, Rodriguez belted an offering into the black beyond center field for a game-winning, walk-off grand slam, lifting the Yankees to a 10-7 victory and playing out a stretch in which he hit six home runs and collected 15 RBIs in the first seven games of the season.
"It felt awesome," Rodriguez said then. "I was so excited, I felt like a fool running around the bases, like it was Little League. I just remember I almost knocked [coach Larry] Bowa over at third. I saw the fans rocking behind him. That was kind of cool.
"You relish it. As an athlete, you always want to be in that opportunity."
One of Rodriguez's most dramatic moments also came in the game's most heated rivalry, where he has had trouble in recent years. With the Yankees down to their final strike of the ninth inning June 3 at Boston, Rodriguez turned on a 95 mph Jonathan Papelbon fastball and drilled it high through the raindrops into the Fenway Park night, helping the Yankees to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox and two out of three games at Boston.
|"He came in and showed everyone why he is the best player in the game."
|-- Johnny Damon
With the Yankees driving toward a Wild Card spot and an eventual Division Series matchup with the Cleveland Indians, Rodriguez found another gear. He drove in 111 runs in his final 105 games of the season, averaging one RBI every 3.7 at-bats over the course of the whole campaign -- leading the big leagues with that ratio.
"I think this whole year was just an amazing thing that he did," outfielder Johnny Damon said. "He came in and showed everyone why he is the best player in the game."
When the Yankees needed a boost at home during the regular season, too, Rodriguez was there often. With 26 home runs in the Bronx, Rodriguez equaled his own single-season record -- set during his 2005 AL MVP campaign -- for homers hit by a right-handed batter at Yankee Stadium.
"Definitely, he helped us a lot," second baseman Robinson Cano said. "He helped so much, I can't tell you about it, especially when we were struggling in the beginning. He got those walk-off home runs and those comeback games. That's something that you've got to appreciate looking at them now."
The 2007 MLB Clutch Performer of the Year Presented by Pepsi winner was selected by the fans from a list of six nominees chosen by a special editorial panel from MLB Advanced Media and Major League Baseball Productions. From Oct. 5 through Oct. 19, Major League Baseball fans voted for the award on pepsiclutch.mlb.com, a site powered by MLB.com, the official Web site of Major League Baseball, and created specifically for the MLB Clutch Performer Platform.
To further engage fans in the selection process, Pepsi introduced an online sweepstakes in conjunction with the award. As part of the program, Pepsi, the official soft drink of Major League Baseball, fans were entered to win a trip to the 2008 All-Star Game by voting for the 2007 MLB Clutch Performer of the Year.
Previous monthly winners of the MLB Pepsi Clutch Performer of the Month awards include: Rodriguez (April); Ken Griffey Jr. (May); Chone Figgins (June); Aramis Ramirez (July); Andy Pettitte (August); and Alfonso Soriano (September).

It wasn't too long ago we were telling you about the Goodguys season opener in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Spring Nationals in March was a successful new show for Goodguys and the Southwest Nationals, the final event of the Goodguys season, was every bit as fun.
Arizona is truck country and Arizonans like showing 'em off. As always, the ratio of custom classic trucks to the rods, customs, and other varieties of performance vehicles packing WestWorld of Scottsdale was high. The two dozen trucks we're showing you here are just a small fraction of what spectators saw in person.
The Southwest Nationals also draws a huge number of aftermarket manufacturers—enough to overflow the 100,000-square-foot exhibitor building. If it's older merchandise you're looking for, the swap meet area at the opposite side of the show was where that kind of treasure was buried. And the car corral was the ideal spot for anyone looking for their next project.
The weather in Scottsdale at the end of the year is typically perfect. When we were there, it almost was. The forecasted wet stuff didn't show up until the Sunday afternoon awards ceremony was beginning. It didn't spoil the fun—it just sped it up a little bit.
By the time you read this article, it'll be time to head back to Scottsdale. The Spring Nationals will return to WestWorld March 11 to 13. Technically, that's still winter—but in Arizona, that's cruising season.

I would like to know what all the Carmelo Anthony bashers would think would happen if He wasen't on the nuggets. You might have a point that he dosent do what all the elite players do in the league and he dosent take over in the playoffs,(Naysayers In General) but I would counter that with His team is not that good. K Martin is not a star like some people think he is. Jr Smith is overrated and to streaky. Nene is far from a elite center. They got a elite pg, but thats it.
The nuggets have gone to the playoffs every season sense Carmelo has
been there. They weren't even relevent before he got there, and he made them worth watching all by himself.
To bad he cant win it all by himself. He might need a elite power foward, players that aren't streaky, and play like there **** dont stink, plus play smart and HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They can say all they want but I know carmelo is not a overrated scorer. Put him on a team with garnett in his prime, gasol, howard, shaq in his prime and add in some role players and you have a team more then able to get to the finals with the right role players and win the damm thing... geez
If melo was in Miami and had shaq then, Carmelo has a ring. This shiiit is is overrated and over anayalizing this shhiitt is overrated.
Melo needs a big man o draw guys away from him like Kobe had in Pau Gasol...Amare can fit that role perfectly.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
One of the more ridiculous comments made on these boards when you consider this:
Most, though, is not all. Three players -- Carmelo Anthony (6.0 wins Produced), Monta Ellis (1.9 wins Produced), and Danny Granger (3.8 wins produced) -- are what we call "unproductive scorers." Yes, each player can score. But once again, a player primarily impacts wins by shooting efficiently and taking actions that get and keep possession of the ball (i.e. rebounds, steals, and avoiding turnovers). And when we consider the factors that dictate wins, we see that Anthony, Ellis, and Granger come up short. In sum, each is overrated.
Could Melo drop 81 (i.e. Kobe's work) ??? I guess he could score 63 against an overpowered Celts (i.e. Jordan's genius) team in the playoffs too right?? Utterly ridiculous..
Melo <<<<<<< Kobe by a mile dude!

Melo can take over basketball games on a daily basis and led the Nuggets over and over again, he is a super star. Take him off the team and they suck. Does he chuck, yes, does Kobe chuck, yes, does any star chuck, YES.... Deal with it.
Is Dirk over rated? he chucks up shots and misses all the time. How about Rashard Lewis? I see that guy miss ten shots a game. Still a dynamic player. You can name so many stars that have low "true shooting" percentages and can still carry teams.
The fact is that Felton, Melo, and Amare could possibly make us the 2nd best team in the East.
Melo is not over rated because of metric stats or whatever you propose, you forget that stats don't apply to the locker room, chemistry, Melo having all the spotlight which takes pressure off the rest of the team, essentially helping everyone.
Melo just needs a good PG, he has that with Billups, hopefully Felton would be great with him but who knows.
We should not give up Randolph and Gallo for Melo, too much.
Gallo for Melo straight up with Curry and a pick, yes.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
That's like saying saying you could replace A-Rod w David Wright and Yankees would still win it all!!! Facken ludicrous..
In your 1st point you didn't say anything about so-called overrated scores just carrying teams w low FG percentages. Don't backtrack now bro.
Yes scorers like Melo, Dirk and even Rashard Lewis (whom you used in an argument along side Dirk- they do not equate, but whatevs) can carry teams for stretches. That goes w/out saying. But you basically said Melo = Kobe in that first post I responded to and that is just dumb.
Either take it back or stop arguing.
Your going to tell me that a lineup of
Would not win a ring easily????
Kobe needed the players around him just like Lebron did, just like Wade did.
Wade needed Shaq for that ring, Kobe needed Shaq and then needed Gasol, Lebron needed...well let's just say he only needed one star with him but decided to be a wimp and go with two stars.
I'm saying put Kobe on the Nuggets and they don't win a ring or even come close, just like Melo hasn't.
Put Melo on the Lakers and you can easily win a ring.
Kobe does not equal Melo....Kobe is the best player in the world, BUT Melo is top 10. And has the ability to score as easily as Kobe can, I have seen Melo just school guys and look like the best player in the NBA. He has the talent and the ability, he just needs help...like a big man. Which Amare would be perfect for.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
You cannot just say that you can plug in one player for another because one aspect of their respective games is similar - scoring in this case.
In doing so you gloss over the FACT that Kobe brings so much more to a team than just scoring, which as the above article points out is the reason why Melo can be deemed OVERRATED - because he doesn't bring much more to a team than his ability to get buckets.
In making such a statement, and continuing to defend it, you show a certain limited understanding of basketball and what a great player like Kobe brings to to his team.
Some of these abilities include and I'll go beyond stats since you seem to think they are irrelevant in some way:
1. Extreme clutchness
2. Otherwordly ball-handling ability for a 2 guard
3. Solid passing skills
4. Awesome and proven IQ
5. It factor, i.e. heart, determination, killer whatever you want to call it.
Melo is not on Kobe's level in any of the above areas, or even scoring for that matter! You assertions are not well thought out..
Dude it simply would not be a foregone conclusion that the team you posted above would win w Melo in that lineup. To say that shows a blatant disregard for the other aspects of Kobe's game that Melo as not shown, that contributed to the Lakers winning it all.
Fu*K Kobe
Lol No one is Kobe Bryant AKA THE BIGGEST MICHAEL JORDAN **** SMOKER I HAVE EVER SEEN!
But thats ok! How many rings does Kobe have without beastly Gasol and Shaq, or Phil Jackson for that matter. The best coach in the league and arguably the best big men in the league ( see gasol and How does my azz taste)
Kobe has had the best players and coach around him everytime he wins and if you dont think Carmelo Anthony would come on that team with Shaq or Gasol and get to the finals and win, tell me who would have stoped them.
You Carmelo haters are funny tho.
Carmelo wins championships, thats what he does, thats his history!
Gold Medal and National Championship << ALMOST ALL BY HIS GOD DAMM SELF
But I'll be laughing when Melo gets a ring or rings because he got all three.
DAMM that sounds like Kobes IDOL MICHAEL JORDAN
You are ignoring the fact that Melo has carried the Nuggets so many times, the fact that Melo has not had extreme help like what Gasol does for Kobe makes my argument have as much weight as yours.
Melo on the Lakers could win a championship easily last year.
No team was dominate except the Cavs(who still lost with Lebron James with no true low post big man) and the Lakers would still have the best team in the NBA.
This is all hypothetical so I don't see th huge argument, it is strictly opinion.
Put Melo with Amare, a big man presence which he has never had, and you will be shocked. Wade, Kobe, Lebron all prove that THEY NEED a big man presence. So why hate on Melo and call him over rated when you know players better than Melo had the same problem?
Doesn't make sense.
As if you are singling out Melo as if he had the same players around him.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Melo is a non-passn, no defense playn, players cutn in the lane missn, average IQ havn, overrated-ass one dimensional scorer.
Kobe cannot be characterized as any of the above. So stop.
Melo could not do what Kobe does on the Lakers in the triangle offense. Kobe is a facilitator. Melo is a black hole.
People say Melo is a top ten player but I can easily name ten I'd rather have over him, maybe even fifteen.
When it comes to elite players Melo is in the group, he's one of the back-up dancers however.
Melo has talent in droves but he's a tin man..
Melo cannot lead a team in the NBA.. What PG took over as the de-facto leader on Denver the moment he took the practice court, rather the moment ink went to paper that he was in route.
Give me Gallo over Mello Yellow any day.
Give me the guy w savvy that can find teammates, knows how to reach them and when it counts can keep them in line w big money play in crunch time.
That aint Melo to me.
Give me the guy who when you get him on the court wants to cut your heart out, stomp on it and watch the blood run.
That aint Melo.
Thas Kobe.
Thas Gallo (only that one aspect, not comparing Gallo to Kobe just yet peeps slow down) even.
Melo is the reincarnation of Bernard King, but not nearly as efficient.
Melo is an itch in Kobe's pants.
He couldn't get the Lakers out of the second round w Pau Gasol and Bynum.

I don't like the argument that Melo on the lakers in place of Kobe will win the ring. He has to learn the triangle offense, which basically takes a full year to learn. I do believe that team can win the ring in year two though, or at least that team has a legitimate chance.
The argument I would use is how Melo plays on team USA. He was one of the most consistent scorers and he has shown his passing ability, which, in my opinion, is easily over average. He has shown he can rebound well and was the most clutch scorer in the past 2 olympics. When you put elite talent on one team, the best players will usually shine. Melo was easily among the best of the elite for two FULL world basketball seasons. While Denver is good, it is not a playoff team w/o Melo. Melo alone adds about 10 wins to that team, if not more.
I know.
Put him on a team with Amar'e Stoudamire, Anthony Randolph, Danilo Gallinari, Ray Felton, Wilson Chandler, Ronny Turiaf, Timofey Mosgov, Toney Douglas, and Bill Walker.
Hmm. Where can we find such a team?
so I see this thread has turned into a Kobe vs Melo debate.... booooring.
How can Melo be deemed overrated? How many of those players on the list won a NCAA Championship?

Each spring, the Heartland United Way completes a community investment process, where community volunteers determine how United Way campaign funds would be best allocated to the 16 partner agencies for the upcoming year. The volunteers play a vital role in evaluating the United Way-funded programs during day-long assessments.
The volunteers are grouped into teams to review funding requests from the partner agencies. Each team spends one day visiting two to three agency sites. The teams listen to agency presentations, review agency applications and program results, and make funding recommendations to the Heartland United Way board of directors.
The community investment process ensures that dollars donated to the Heartland United Way are distributed to the most needed programs and services each year. Through the process, the volunteers are encouraged to provide input as to which issues they think need the most attention in our communities and how campaign funds can best be used to address these needs.
