text: So I bought a Mossberg 640KD/.22 mag. I have done enough research on most manufacturers to discover most offerings chamberd for the round are not inexpensive. I only paid 250$ for the rifle with a 4x scope attached. So I'm wondering is/are these particular rifles worth that much or did I waste some dollars? The main reason I wanted it is because my local indoor range will allow its use, giving me the opportunity to teach my son some marksmanship fundamentals in a safe controlled environment out of the elements. Washington tends to be a little moist this time of year. Any thoughts?

This Video Will Tell You if You're Prone to Mind Control
Click to viewWait! Before you read anything else in this post, watch the video linked here.
Okay, now that you've watched, it, look at your hands. Are they covered with blood? If yes, then you are susceptible to mind control! Also, you just murdered your parents. (Sorry!) No, actually, if you just watched the video, you are susceptible to mind control, because we controlled your mind and forced you to watch it!
Actually, no. Watch the video, follow the directions, and see if you are "suggestible." If your hands move significantly, then yes, you probably are. We don't usually go for sweeping statements about character based on one-minute video tests, but we're pretty suggestible, so we agree with psychologist Richard Wiseman (the guy in the video) when he says:
Non-suggestible types tend to be more down-to-earth, logical and enjoy puzzles and games. In contrast, suggestible types tend to have a good imagination, be sensitive, intuitive and find it easier to become absorbed in books and films.
Suggestible types also make good Stormtroopers..

EIZO's RadiForce LS560W is a large widescreen monitor with a 3840 x 2160 native resolution and a 56-inch screen area roughly equal in size to six 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) monitors or four full HD monitors. Compared with multi-monitor scenarios, the LS560W has no regional color differences or obtrusive bezels, thus reducing eye fatigue and the potential for distraction in surgical environments. Flexible viewing of large volumes of information on a single monitor improves workflow efficiency and saves time. Individual image placement and window size preferences can be easily arranged and recalled using the Large Monitor Manager (LMM). With its redundant components architecture (2 power supplies, 2 backlights, 2 transmission links), EIZO ensures a high degree of operational reliability for fail-safe environments.

Collmenter might be moving to bullpen
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said the team was considering options for Monday, which is Collmenter's day to pitch.
"We may move him to the bullpen," Gibson said. "We're considering it. He may not start Monday. We're considering other options. We'll probably make a decision by [Saturday]."
Collmenter was outstanding for the D-backs in 2011, going 10-10 with a 3.38 ERA in 31 games (24 starts) and won a big game for the club in the National League Division Series against the Brewers.
This year, though, it's been a different story.
Collmenter struggled during Spring Training and then into the regular season. In his first four starts, he went 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA.
If the team chooses to dip into the Minor Leagues for a replacement for Collmenter, Double-A left-hander Patrick Corbin would seem to be the leading candidate given that his last start was the same day as Collmenter's -- Tuesday.
Fellow Mobile left-hander Tyler Skaggs would also be a candidate. His last start was Wednesday, which would mean he would be pitching on regular rest.
Corbin is 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his first four starts, while Skaggs is 0-2 with a 4.24 ERA in his first four.
D-backs sticking with Miley in rotation
MIAMI -- In what seemed like a foregone conclusion, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said that left-hander Wade Miley will stay in the rotation and start Sunday against the Marlins.
Miley had pitched out of the bullpen for his first three appearances of the season before getting the start against the Phillies on Monday. In that game, he tossed six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 1.84.
"It's self-explanatory," Gibson said of the move.
Gibson was then asked if it was so self-explanatory, why did he wait until Friday to make the decision? Part of it was because the D-backs wanted to see if they needed to use their bullpen a lot the rest of the series against the Phillies.
"Again, just see how we got through it," Gibson said. "We pretty much were sure we were going to do it that way. I can't share all the reasons with you, but it will become clear as the season goes, I guess."
Miley's start on Monday came in place of Daniel Hudson, who was placed on the disabled list with a shoulder impingement.
"It's whatever, but I'm pumped about it in the same sense," Miley said. "I'm hoping Huddy gets healthy. I'll do what I can until then."
The laid-back Miley said the only difference for him between starting and relieving is the routine he follows. That being said, he does not have a preference as to which role he fills.
"Pretty sure it's better to be in the big leagues than anywhere else," Miley said with a smile. "It doesn't matter what your role is as long as you can help the team."
D-backs get first look at Marlins Park
MIAMI -- The D-backs hitters were out for early batting practice Friday afternoon to get a feel for Marlins Park, which opened earlier this month.
The consensus? It's nice, but it's more friendly for pitchers than hitters.
So far, that's the way the ballpark has played, and D-backs players said it reminded them of Petco Park in San Diego, which is also a large ballpark where the ball does not carry.
"It's got a big outfield," Arizona infielder Ryan Roberts said. "I didn't really hit anything that could possibly be a homer. I was definitely trying to get the ball on the ground. There's a couple of guys that hit it out, so I'm sure it will go like any other park, but for the most part, it's kind of like Petco. You've got to play it like that. You've got to play to hit one base at a time and not try to drive the ball out of the yard."
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson was more focused on some of the nooks and crannies of the wall where balls seemed to bounce off at odd angles, which means outfielders will have to back each other up when the ball hits off the wall in case it caroms different than expected.
"Balls can hit off the wall and go anywhere," Gibson said. "It looks like it's pretty large. We're going to have to hustle, everyone is going to have to back up. If you hit the ball, you need to run hard because the alleys are big."
One of the many unique features of the ballpark is a large sculpture in left-center that features leaping marlins when the home team hits a homer. A couple of the D-backs left-handed hitters said the sculpture was distracting when they were in the batter's box.
Gibson asked about the sculpture, and when told it only lights up and goes off on Marlins homers, he smiled.
"I don't want to see that," he said.

Forbes - Dave Thier asks a simple, but important question: Would you pay $400 for the as-yet-to-be-named PlayStation 4 from Sony?
Dave thinks it is, noting that "$400 is neither very expensive nor very cheap. It's the same price as an iPad 2 and cheaper than a current-gen model. I think that people are more primed to spend money on electronics than they were in 2006. This could give people on the fence a more enticing entry point. Combine that with the fact that this is likely being built with off-the-shelf parts rather than obsessive boutique hardware, and it might even be worth it from the company's perspective."
Model 1. standard model $400.00
Model 2. (bigger harddrive) (ps+) $500.00

text: My son is on his 2002 GS traveling/ moving from Geneva to Munich and was calling me while on a fuel stop. The trip WAS going well and he asked me what to look at on the bike and I said check your tires and see if anything is leaking. He said\ cursed there was a bit of oil on his tire. Less than a year ago he called me while on a trip telling me there was a horrible noise coming from the rear end and oil. Some how we\he got it back home and several dollars later the BMW dealer in Geneva repaired the final drive. He had the bike in for service recently and asked them to change out the oil in the final drive thinking it would be good to get it flushed. While talking to him on the phone I asked him to check for free play and noise which he said that checked ok. He got his tool kit out and took out the fill plug and he says the oil shows on the threads. If the final drive was over filled will they seep out of the seal. I would think it would be coming out of the vent. He was unable to purchase gear oil at the fuel stop so I said get the thickest engine oil they got and go on, he didn't add any. He drove for a short time and rechecked and said hardly and oil the bottom of the final drive so he is moving on. What are his odds of making it another 250 miles?

This is why I invested in this robot with no hopes at first. However, I received $1700 in my first week itself. Sure it isn't much to speak of, but at least I was able to garner profits.

text: OK, so... I freely admit I've seen 25 minutes worth of one episode. So, I very well could be missing a great deal. But that's my reason for asking so. So please don't eye-roll and flame me if I am, alright? Thanks! But... from that cursory exposure... I find what little I observed, I didn't like. It seems to me a show about one of the wrongs of our past: the class system. A wrong that still exists today, but that we've made great ambitious strides towards pushing as far out of our culture as we can, Am I wrong? Is it really a show about how all the servants save the day and educate the rich upper crust of the evils of a class system? Or something otherwise redeeming? What's the attraction of this show?

Marine Corps Commandant, Gen. James Amos has stated that a program aimed at replacing the Sikorsky VH-60s and VH-3 Sea Kings that carry the president has moved forward. "I can't tell you where it is with regards to the budget, I just know that it's not on the back burner anymore. It's actually moved forward and we need to find a replacement for the president's helicopter," Amos said. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates shut down a $13 billion Marine One replacement effort in 2009, which was aimed at purchasing 28 Lockheed Martin VH-71s.

Yoshida in China: Huawei MIA in Windows Phone 8
7 comments post a comment
What's behind Huawei's no-show at the Windows Phone 8 announcement, and Microsoft's waning appetite for the Japanese market?
NEW YORK The reporter in me finds it more interesting to figure out who's missing in action at a big media event like Microsofts Windows Phone 8 announcement rather than focusing on the media hogs.
Among the conspicuous no-shows at Microsoft's extravaganza in San Francisco this week were Chinas Huawei and the U.S. carrier Sprint Nextel, whose sale to Japans Softbank was announced earlier this month.
Where was Huawei, China's leading telecommunications equipment maker and a legitimate contender in the global wireless market? According to reports, one Huawei executive stated in a blog posted to Sina Weibo, Chinas equivalent to Twitter, more than 10 days ago, that the company would skip the Windows Phone 8 launch due to a Sino-U.S. political and economic storm.
Unfortunately, we cant verify this since I havent been able to find the alleged blog post on Weibo and a Huawei hasn't replied to our calls for comment.
But it is a fact that Huaweis handset was not among those displayed by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer during the launch. Microsoft showed Windows Phone 8 handsets by Nokia, Samsung and HTC. There was no mention of Huawei.
If Huaweis conspicuous absence at Microsofts event was indeed triggered by politics, the cause and effect are easy to trace. A congressional committee earlier this month issued a report accusing Huawei and China's other large telecom gear maker, ZTE, of designing communications equipment that allows unauthorized access by the Chinese government, a charge that has stoked national security concerns along with fears of corporate espionage.
Regardless of the report's conclusions, they have little to do with Windows Phone 8 handsets developed by a Chinese company. Do the accusations in the House report extend even to Huawei somehow trying to wire up Windows Phone 8 for the purposes of espionage?
Give me a break.
Lets look next at Sprint Nextel and Windows Phone 8 in Japan.

Anderson: When I was real young, I remember saving my money to go to this place called the Catcher's Mitt in California, where I first lived. I'd go there every chance I could. My dad took me and got me a Jose Canseco rookie card -- 1985 or 1986. My aunt was going on "The Price Is Right," and I gave it to her. She wanted it for good luck and she wound up winning the whole thing. In return, she bought me a brand-new Jose Canseco rookie card. She was rubbing the other card so much that it got all messed up. The value of the card was no longer there.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Were you really serious about collecting?
Anderson: I remember as a little kid looking at Beckett (price guide), jotting how much each card was worth, whether it was going up and down, all that stuff. My dad had a collection that was passed down to him. He was showing me cards for Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, a bunch of cool cards. He gave it to me. I have them in a tin box, the ones I really, really cherish. They're 1950s, 1960s cards. They hold no monetary value to me. I just like to keep them for my personal collection, to hand them down to my kids. I'm not ever going to sell them. The card value doesn't mean as much as the sentimental value.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Do you collect cards now?
Anderson: If I see guys I'm friends with or played with, I'll hold onto their cards to see how ironic it is that some of these guys I played with are on a baseball card.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Why do you possess a whole collection of Chris Widger cards?
Anderson: It started off as a joke. I saw, maybe by accident, a picture of Widger on his 1992 draft-prospect card. It looks so funny because he has kind of an executive-mullet going on. Business in the front, party in the back. I had to have it. I put it in the center of my locker. Chris saw how amused I was. He just posted all his cards on my locker while I was out for BP one day. I just kept them because I think it's awesome. I've got close to 10, including a couple of Memphis cards from the Minor Leagues.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What was the first card on which you appeared?
Anderson: It would probably be more like a summer league card. The first professional one is a Great Falls (Mont.) White Sox rookie league card. We didn't have any cards at the U. of A. Same appearance, just shorter hair.

By Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney
Give And Go is a recurring feature in which The Point Forward's Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney bat an NBA topic du jour back and forth.
This week: assessing the bottom six teams in the Eastern Conference. Through Tuesday, the Raptors, Pistons, Magic, Cavaliers, Bobcats and Wizards were all at least 5½ games out of the No. 8 seed.
1. Which of these six teams has the brightest future?
Ben Golliver: At the risk of dumbing down a fairly complicated question and short-cutting a thorough, all-points analysis, I'll rush to pick the Cavaliers and not think twice. Nothing is brighter than a budding superstar still on his rookie deal, and that's exactly what the Cavaliers have in point guard Kyrie Irving. Last week, I selected Irving as the second-most-deserving player among potential first-time All-Stars. If he makes it to Houston this season, which he absolutely should, the Cavaliers are looking at eight (eight!) years of All-Star play before Irving could leave in unrestricted free agency. (That's assuming he signs a five-year extension, a la Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook, on top of the next two-plus years of his rookie deal.)
There are young lottery picks to like among the other five teams -- including Charlotte's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kemba Walker; Washington's John Wall and Bradley Beal; Detroit's Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond and Brandon Knight; Toronto's Jonas Valanciunas and Terrence Ross; and Orlando's Nikola Vucevic -- but Irving's future outshines them all, even when injury risks are factored in. Come on, Irving is averaging 23 points, 5.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals and shooting 41 percent from three-point range -- and he's still not 21 years old.
This isn't just about Irving (although it could be). The Cavaliers have been bad enough for long enough to set themselves up for a quick rise with a couple of right moves. I'm not the world's biggest fan of Tristan Thompson (No. 4 pick in 2011 draft), Dion Waiters (No. 4 in 2012) or Tyler Zeller (No. 17 in 2012), but they all look like rotation pieces and are on affordable rookie deals. Anderson Varejao is, at worst, an above-average trade chip. The Cavaliers will have loads of cap space this summer to improve Irving's supporting cast, although they must be sure to dole it out to deserving players. Owner Dan Gilbert's demonstrated commitment to spend what it takes to win adds an optimistic shine to their long-term outlook.
Rob Mahoney: Cleveland is undoubtedly the pick here, for precisely the reasons you mentioned, Ben. Irving is as compelling a prospect as they come, and though the Cavs have a long way to go before they put together a playoff-worthy roster, they already have a handful of useful pieces to build around, and their cap outlook is unbelievably clean. There isn't a single player under contract beyond this season who shouldn't be, and no asset on the roster that could even remotely be considered overpaid beyond Luke Walton and his $6 million expiring contract. That gives GM Chris Grant the opportunity to pursue all manner of free-agent targets in his efforts to round out this roster, and just as important is the ability to take on extra salary in a potential trade. Teams under the cap wind up being the ultimate facilitators due to the salary-matching rules, leaving Cleveland in a position to pick up some quality picks or players in exchange for little to nothing. It's up to Grant to leverage that opportunity into something tangible, but the Cavs have only $27.5 million on the books for next season -- a total roster payout that should allow Grant to make some moves and retain that flexibility in the process.
Beyond the Cavs, though, I'm most optimistic about the Bobcats. Though Charlotte may still be on the hunt for high-ceiling offensive players, Mike Dunlap's infrastructure offers promise for a group of perfectly sturdy complementary types. Walker is coming into his own as a pick-and-roll player, and alongside him is a world of defensive potential between Kidd-Gilchrist, Gerald Henderson and Bismack Biyombo. Things aren't looking great right now for the Bobcats because of their lack of firepower, general lack of experience and forced reliance on Byron Mullens, but a single shot creator and a few years of working their way into the playoff picture should position the 'Cats for a long run of success.
2. Which of these six teams has the bleakest future?
RM: The answer likely depends on how you interpret the word "bleakest." If you're looking for the team with the longest road back to relevance, it might be Detroit or Charlotte. Yet if you're looking for the team with the grimmest probable future, then Washington -- a team that could well wind up capping out in mediocrity -- is the choice. The Wiz needed to rid themselves of all the bad mojo instilled by JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche, but in the process they took on a lot of salary and made parallel trades for win-now pieces. The timing of the contracts acquired still allows a fairly clean slate in 2014, but the cap figure doesn't yet factor in an extension for Wall, nor new deals for Jordan Crawford, Kevin Seraphin or Trevor Booker. Those potential extensions won't soak up all of Washington's cap room, but they could pull just enough in salary to make the next stage in the Wizards' roster development a bit difficult. Things in Washington aren't completely dour as long as Wall and Beal continue to develop, but I do see some potential obstacles on the horizon as they cobble together a better roster.
We also shouldn't disqualify the Magic from this conversation -- they've done surprisingly well in Jacque Vaughn's first season, but are delayed from beginning a true rebuild by the puzzling deal given to Jameer Nelson, the contract of Hedo Turkoglu and the years remaining on the deals of Glen Davis and Al Harrington. Their current standing should put the Magic somewhere in the mid-lottery, and they'll need to make the most of that selection while attempting to shed some of the extraneous salary on their books.
BG: There are so many good options and none of them are truly wrong; it's just a matter of which flavor of ugly you prefer. In Washington, there's the "take the plunge by trading for overpaid, middling veterans because we're sick of sucking" option. Detroit offers the "sign terribly bloated free-agent contracts, slow down a rebuild by sticking with the bad deals and then lose future assets by finally dumping them" version. Orlando represents the "no star player, too good this season to get a super-high lottery pick" variety. Toronto's got the "hopelessly overmatched player cast as a franchise guy and lots of contracts that look OK one week and absolutely terrible the next" thing going. Finally, there are the Bobcats, whose biggest issue continues to be that Michael Jordan is the owner, although GM Rich Cho has proved himself capable of overcoming that limitation and embarking on a logical long-term rebuilding effort.
I guess a process of elimination in the only course here. I'll cast out Charlotte from this conversation first. Its core -- Kidd-Gilchrist, Walker, Biyombo, Henderson and Ramon Sessions -- is a decent start, and the salary-cap flotsam present (Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas) isn't overly crippling. While it takes a little work to get excited about Orlando's pieces, there's no questioning the general culture that's been instilled under Vaughn. That goes a long way in keeping a team out of the "awful" category for multiple years. Like Cho, Magic GM Rob Hennigan has a stint with the Thunder on his résumé, so his approach to a multiyear rebuild is likely to be sensible. And, like Gilbert, Magic ownership has shown a willingness to spend in the past.
That leaves Detroit, Toronto and Washington. Of those three, Washington seems to have the worst combination of young talent on hand and bad future salary commitments. The Wizards are likely stuck with a broken roster until July 2014, whereas there are glimmers of hope with the Raptors' youngsters and, finally, some cap maneuverability coming for the Pistons this summer. On the bright side for Wizards fans, at least Wall is finally back from his knee injury.
3. What's the most glaring roster need?
BG: The single greatest need for any NBA team, not just these six, was a real point guard for the Wizards. Washington ranks last in offensive efficiency, trailing the rest of the league by nearly four points per 100 possessions, and last in field-goal percentage. The Wall-less Wizards should have renamed themselves the Contested Jumper Caucus. Wall's return from injury isn't like to save this from being a lost season, but at least he offers a reason for fans to watch games and for his younger teammates to stick with the program.
The Wizards should have learned a valuable lesson about the importance of a capable backup point guard, even if the plan is to play Wall as many minutes as humanly possible. Washington got caught with its pants down when Wall went down and life only got that much more unbearable when A.J. Price broke his hand. Developing Beal by putting him in a position to succeed must be a top organizational priority; making that happen should involve the presence of a competent distributor on the court with him at all times. Washington has all sorts of needs, but falling apart as quickly and violently as it did without Wall should be enough motivation to ensure similar calamity doesn't strike again every time he tweaks an ankle or suffers from flu-like symptoms.
RM: I couldn't agree more, but I also see a huge need for the Cavaliers on the wing. Irving will control the ball and between Varejao, Thompson and Zeller, Cleveland has the big men necessary to form the basis of a functional rotation. But no wing player has come close to posting even a league-average Player Efficiency Rating this season, as C.J. Miles, Alonzo Gee and Omri Casspi have proved incapable of taking on a substantial role on a talent-strapped team. These aren't potential contributors who just needed a chance to break out, but role players to their very core. They can help a team -- be it the Cavs or another -- but only as a third option or in a role that would otherwise absolve them of such considerable responsibility. As it stands, Irving and Waiters have to create damn near everything for Cleveland offensively, and though their teammates have at least done well in converting their open three-point attempts, all involved would benefit if the Cavs were able to pick up a more dynamic wing to either round out their starting five or bolster their bench.
4. Which team is in most need of a coaching change?
RM: Maybe I'm just the forgiving sort when it comes to coaches put in bad situations, but I don't see the immediate need to fire any of this lot. The only cases that are even up for debate are Washington's Randy Wittman and Detroit's Lawrence Frank, and though both have their flaws in terms of rotation management, both were expected to coach lottery-bound teams. Attempting to coach the Wizards without Wall (not to mention Nene) doomed Washington to problems that even a first-rate coach couldn't solve, much less one as decidedly meh as Wittman. He doesn't do much of anything to inspire confidence, but, for the moment, I see no reason to pin the faults of a crippled team on a coach who failed to piece together a miracle season.
As for Frank, your opinion of him likely comes down to his handling of Drummond -- an amazingly productive rookie big man who is being brought along slowly. I'd love nothing more than to see Drummond play as much as possible, but I respect that Frank had a plan in place with regard to the evolution of Drummond's role and is sticking to it despite all kinds of public pressure. Drummond deserves more playing time, but it's not as if Jason Maxiell is struggling or Frank is holding back Drummond on a whim. There's a patient design at work here, and though it deprives all of us of seeing more of Drummond, that hardly seems like an appropriate reason for Frank to lose his job.
Plus, let's not forget that he's given Kyle Singler a chance to crack the rotation, dusted off Charlie Villanueva and gotten a ton out of reserve guard Will Bynum. I'm still not entirely sure why Jonas Jerebko never plays, but again: Is that the kind of offense worth firing Frank over?
BG: Orlando's Vaughn, Charlotte's Dunlap and Toronto's Dwane Casey have nothing to be ashamed of despite their teams' records. All three have gotten good effort from their teams (at least once the Raptors' Andrea Bargnani went down with an elbow injury). There's not exactly a ton of evidence in favor of the job Wittman has done in Washington, but he deserves at least a month with a fully healthy Wall before he goes the way of Flip Saunders. I can't see too many protest marches being launched or tears being shed, even by Wittman himself, when he eventually gets the ax. In Cleveland, the time to put up or shut up in the wins column is coming for Byron Scott, possibly as soon as the beginning of next season, but Varejao's injury and the Cavs' incredibly young roster is enough reason to give him a pass through the rest of this season.
That leaves Detroit's Frank. He would be my pick, although I don't think it's necessarily urgent. As with all of these guys, Frank could fairly argue that he hasn't been given much to work with and his roster's key pieces don't fit together all that well. His nomination here boils down to a simple truth that might not be his fault: His rotations have been too veteran-heavy when this season should have been totally focused on talent development. There are two possibilities: Pistons president Joe Dumars has given him the wrong marching orders, or Frank has decided that he prefers to live his life on the hot seat by playing known quantities rather than unpolished youngsters.
Barring some DeMarcus Cousins-esque personality concerns, there is just no logical reason for a team this bad to limit a player like Drummond to 19.7 minutes per game. The online basketball intelligentsia shouldn't need to scream for months -- as it has -- for Drummond to get starter's minutes. Drummond is averaging 13 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per 36 minutes. By the way, he's shooting 59.7 percent from the field. Here's a plan: Play him 36 minutes a night and never look back.
5. Which team should consider a new general manager?
BG: Detroit's treatment of Drummond is particularly strange because Frank recognized Singler's value, even as a rookie, and rewarded him with a starting job in mid-November. Frank has alluded to some unspoken behind-the-scenes reasons for limiting Drummond's playing time, while the former UConn big man has said he's OK with being eased into NBA life. Management should have no problem making clear its priorities and philosophy regarding a player who shows this level of talent and production this early in his career. Management also shouldn't have any problem embracing the greater long-term good that comes with increasing Drummond's playing time immediately compared to the risks associated with letting a teenager learn on the fly. If it's Frank's decision not to play Drummond, Dumars should be screaming at him to reconsider. If it's Dumars' decision, he should be screaming at himself in the mirror.
If the incomprehensible treatment of Drummond was Detroit's only problem, Dumars might get a pass. The list of his rotten decisions is a mile long, though, and has been run down before: the regrettable signings of Gordon and Villaneuva; the decision to sacrifice a first-round pick to dump Gordon; the unbalanced roster stacked with small forwards; and the long-term deal for Tayshaun Prince when retaining him made no sense during a rebuilding cycle, among other moves. Detroit enters the summer with a meaningful level of cap flexibility for the first time in years. Unfortunately, Pistons fans look forward to that possibility with one hand covering their eyes as long as Dumars is the one spending the money.
Another totally acceptable answer: the Wizards and GM Ernie Grunfeld, especially given how badly his splashy plays over the last year have backfired. You could see the thinking behind the acquisitions of Nene, Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor, but not even Grunfeld himself could categorize them as successful. It's probably accountability time.
RM: I'll take that "totally acceptable answer" and run with it -- you've always been a generous man, Ben. Grunfeld is hardly the worst of NBA general managers, but let's review the moves that Washington has made in the last few years that could independently be categorized as positive or at all successful:
• Drafting Wall and Beal in 2010 and 2012, respectively (Washington had top-3 picks on both occasions)
• Traded to acquire Kirk Hinrich and the rights to the pick that became Seraphin, then flipped Hinrich to acquire Crawford and the pick that became Chris Singleton (an arguably squandered pick, depending on what you think of Singleton)
• Traded Quinton Ross for Yi Jianlian (didn't work out, but the underlying gamble was sound)
• Acquired Nene in exchange for (essentially) Nick Young and McGee in a three-team trade (the jury's still out on this one, especially given Nene's substantial salary)
• Signed Garrett Temple as a free agent (life is all about the little things)

"There was no one like him. No one can replace him," says Kenny Frost of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
Duncan knew the cultural ways of his people. To be with him in the field in the White River National Forest, on Uncompahgre Mesa, at Dinosaur National Monument, in the Piceance Basin or following the route of a proposed gas pipeline was to understand how the Utes valued the landscape they called "The Shining Mountains."
Clifford was a tribal historian working with the Northern Ute Cultural Rights and Protection Office.
"Clifford had a rare ability to listen and to try to understand the world," says Mike Metcalf of Metcalf Archaeological Consultants from Eagle and Denver. "Although he believed in and practiced the traditional values of his people, he had an open and inquiring mind and was willing to learn from and teach others, including archaeologists who demonstrated an honest interest in Ute culture."
I had the privilege of being with Clifford, Betsy Chapoose and Kenny Frost at a summer "culture camp" at Trappers Lake two decades ago, and I'll never forget walking the shores of the lake beside Clifford and learning to see a sacred Ute landscape in a new way.
He inspired me to learn about complicated issues related to tribal preservation and encouraged me to research and write Sacred Objects & Sacred Places: Preserving Tribal Traditions.
"Days in the field with Clifford were always special," Metcalf remembers.
I agree.
On the Ute Trail with Clifford
Federal laws, including the National Historic Preservation Act (1966) 36 CFR 800 and Section 106, trigger consultation with tribal officials to identify and assess a site's significance. Section 800.2 explains which parties must be consulted, including Native American tribes with ancestral ties to public lands. Tribes also are consulted under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (1990) if human remains are found on federally managed lands.
Because Utes historically moved during seasonal rounds throughout Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, tribal cultural offices can be extremely busy consulting on projects for the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, other federal agencies and contractors working on federal lands. I assisted Clifford and other team members to help identify the historic Ute Trail that went from Dotsero, where the Eagle and Colorado rivers meet, 57 miles northwest up and over the Flat Tops toward Meeker.
Those summers were some of the most rewarding of my life as I learned how Utes moved through mountain landscapes with their horses, travois and camps. They traveled at a pace slow enough for children and the elderly. Always on alert, scouts would ride ridgelines. Clifford helped us to understand that in traditional Ute culture, travel was never aimless or random; families and clans always had a specific purpose or destination in mind.
Because of the injustices American society has perpetrated on Native tribes, some consultations can be tense and confrontational and very little accomplished. Not so with Clifford. He possessed an extraordinary ability to work with people. He listened well. He explained things carefully, and he earned enormous respect from everyone he worked with.
"Clifford was a person that I would call a perfect gentleman," says Michael Selle, Bureau of Land Management archaeologist from the Meeker office. "Gracious, and at least for me endlessly patient, he gave me information that he felt was important when he felt I was ready to accept it. He also came across as very humble."
Clifford taught Selle about cultural values and how when someone needs advice from a Native consultant, the grandfather or elder should receive a small gift of elk, venison or tobacco.
For Clifford, the Ute spirit world continued to exist. He helped us to understand that the sacred and the secular were "seamlessly intertwined in traditional Ute culture," says Selle.
I learned from Clifford and Kenny Frost to give thanks after visiting a site so I offer something precious which I've carried far - water. From Clifford I received braided sweetgrass, which I will always treasure.
"Though raised in the wisdom and values of the traditional Ute culture, of which he was an endless reservoir of information, Clifford also could look at modern science and appreciate it," says Selle.
'Thoughtful, forthright, honest'
In the late 1980s as energy boomed across the West, Duncan consulted on major pipelines. He consulted when archaeologists uncovered human remains.
As large-scale projects are planned across federal lands, Native American tribes are involved in a government-to-government relationship. Federal staff members meet directly with tribal representatives. Private contractors occasionally serve as facilitators. Energy companies can have fixed budgets and tight deadlines. Equipment and workers sitting idle cost money, yet tribal consultation can drag on over large and small details, such as how to mitigate and preserve a prehistoric or historic site, possibly by recording it or even changing a pipeline's route.
To the relief of both federal archaeologists and private contractors, "Clifford's approach to consultation was always thoughtful, forthright and honest," Metcalf says. "His depth of knowledge was unparalleled, but when he encountered places or things that were unfamiliar, he would say so, and would strive to learn and understand. He respected the fact that some questions cannot easily be answered, and he never pretended knowledge that he didn't actually have."
Clifford worked with former Grand Junction Daily Sentinel editorial page editor Robert Silbernagel on Troubled Trails: The Meeker Affair and the Expulsion of Utes from Colorado.
"Although he was happy to work with whites to set them straight about Ute history, he was not one to sugarcoat things to make it easier for whites to accept," Silbernagel says.
In the treaty of 1868, Ute Indians retained the entire western third of Colorado, but after the Meeker incident in 1879, they lost millions of acres. The Meeker conflict began at Milk Creek on the northern border of the Ute Reservation. Ute sharpshooters pinned down federal troops in one of the longest sieges by Native Americans against U.S. cavalry in Western history. The commander, Maj. Thomas Tipton Thornburgh, was killed first.
Silbernagel studied the site with Clifford and remembers, "I visited the Milk Creek Battle site with him, and he was the first person who I heard state unequivocally that - despite what white authors and military officials had been saying for 130 years - Milk Creek had not been an ambush of Thornburgh's troops. 'Look around you,' he said, pointing to the hills where the Utes were positioned and the low ground where the troops took shelter. 'If our ancestors had wanted to kill all the soldiers, they could have done so.'"
Clifford consulted on battle sites, but he also assisted with gardens.
In 2009 at the Mesa County Fairgrounds, a 2½-acre project was started named the Ute Learning Garden.
Clifford "taught us and our volunteer docents a great deal about Ute culture, history and plant lore," says Susan Rose, a horticulture education specialist.
Clifford helped with projects and consultations across four states and the entire spectrum of Ute land usage. How ironic that as a boy he was sent to boarding school to learn white ways and to give up his Ute culture. Thankfully, he never did. We will miss his wisdom.

Chan Ho Park's bad pitching performance lead to a Mets victory over Phils in the series' opener, 7-4.
The Phillies are unable to overcome Chan Ho Park's poor performance, as he gave up seven earned runs to the Phillies' main rival in the East, the Mets, as the Phils lose, 7-4.
The Mets took a quick 2-0 lead in the first, as, with one man on, and one man out, Daniel Murphy hits a two-run home run, his second home run of the season, knocking in Alex Cora, who had earlier walked. The Mets added to their lead in the second, when, with two men on, and no one out, Mets' starter Mike Pelfrey helped his own cause by hitting a sacrifice fly, scoring Fernando Tatis, who had earlier singled, and had moved over to third on Omir Santos' double, making it 3-0 Mets, while sending Santos over to third. One batter later, with Santos on third, and now one man out, Jose Reyes knocked him in with a sacrifice fly of his own, giving the Mets a 4-0 lead. The Mets made it 5-0 in the third, as, with the bases loaded via a walk to Carlos Beltran, a double to David Wright, sending Beltran over to third base, and an intentional walk to Tatis, with one man out, Santos hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Beltran, who beat out Jayson Werth's throw to the plate, while Wright and Tatis both moved up a base. The Phillies would strike back in their half of the third, as, with the bases loaded, via a single to Shane Victorino, who later moved to second base on a throwing error by Pelfrey, who was trying to pick him off first, and walks to both Chase Utley and Werth, and two men out, Raul Ibanez hits a two-run RBI single, scoring both Victorino and Utley, while sending Werth over to third, making it a 5-2 Mets' lead. One batter later, Pedro Feliz made it a 5-3 Mets' lead by hitting an RBI single, scoring Werth, and sending Ibanez over to third. In the fifth, Wright made it 6-3 Mets as he hits an RBI single, knocking in Beltran, who had earlier doubled. Later in the inning, with two men on, and two men out, Pelfrey once again helped his cause by hitting an RBI single, scoring Tatis, who had earlier doubled, while sending Santos, who had earlier been intentionally walked, over to third. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Phillies ran themselves out of a scoring opportunity, as, with one out, with Chris Coste, who had earlier been safe on a force out as Feliz, who had earlier singled, was thrown out at second, 6-4, and had moved on to second on pinch hitter Greg Dobbs' pinch hit single, on second, and Dobbs' on first via his pinch hit single, Jimmy Rollins hits a ground ball to shortstop Reyes. Reyes committed a throwing error, as he tried to throw out Coste at third. But, instead of going home, Coste stopped in front of third base, which turned out to be a bad move, as Dobbs, who had not seen Coste stop, had ran past second and had continued on to third. This would force Coste to head for home, where he would be tagged out by catcher Santos, after being caught in a rundown, 2-4-2, for the inning's second out, while Dobbs would be safe at third, and Rollins would move up to second base on the rundown. Victorino then ended the inning with a fly out. Utley would make it a 7-4 Mets' lead in the seventh, as he hits a lead-off solo home run, his eighth home run of the year. But that would be the final score as Francisco Rodriguez came in and pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, recording his fifth save of the year.
Chan Ho Park took the lost, his first as a Phillie, as he would pitch only four and two-thirds innings, giving up seven runs on eight hits and six walks, while striking out only one batter. His record is now 0-1 with an 8.57 ERA. Chad Durbin followed for one and one-third innings of relief, giving up only one hit and a walk. J.A. Happ and Clay Condrey would combine for three scoreless innings, only giving up a walk (Happ), while striking out one batter (Happ). Mike Pelfrey got the win, as he pitched five and a third innings, giving up just three runs on seven hits and three walks. His record is now 3-0 with a 6.00 ERA. Pedro Feliciano pitched an inning and two-thirds, holding off the Phils, as he gave up a run on one hit, while he struck out two. J.J. Putz pitched a 1-2-3 inning, recording a hold. Francisco Rodriguez recorded his fifth save of the year, as he also pitched a 1-2-3 inning, recording a strikeout.
The Phillies had eight hits in the game, with Pedro Feliz leading the way with two hits, knocking in a run. Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Raul Ibanez, Chris Coste and Greg Dobbs had the Phillies' other hits, with Utley's hit being a solo home run. Besides Feliz and Utley, Ibanez knocked in two runs. The Phillies were unable to get into this game thanks to Parks ineffectiveness on the mound which put them behind early.
The Phillies (11-10, 2nd) continue their three-games weekend series with the Mets (10-12, 4th). The second game of the series will be played this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park and will be nationally televised by Fox Sports. The game will start at 3:40 pm Eastern. The Phils' starter with be the ageless veteran Jamie Moyer (3-1, 5.09), who will be going for his 250th career victory. He is coming off a victory against the Marlins on April 26, where he went six innings, giving up only one run on seven hits and a walk, while striking out six, in the Phils' 13-2 blowout win. He will be going for his fourth win of the season while hoping to end the Phils' present two-game slide. The Mets will counter with Oliver Perez (1-2, 9.31), who is coming off a lost to the Nationals, also on April 26, as he pitched only four and one-thirds innings, giving up seven runs on nine hits and three walks, while striking out only three, in the Mets' 8-1 lost. He will be trying to even his record. The Phillies will be trying to even the series while doing so in front of a national audience.

Sun Microsystems will announce today a new microprocessor
that it boasts to be "the world's fastest." The new processor, officially
termed UltraSPARC T2, is the successor to the company's UltraSPARC T1 – with several
improvements and architectural changes.
The UltraSPARC T2, formerly codenamed Niagara 2, is an
eight-core, 64-thread microprocessor that will reach the server market later
this year. The new chip includes a 4MB L2 cache, two on-chip 10 Gbyte Ethernet
ports, and each core pipeline will have its own integrated FPU.
According to Sun, the new UltraSPARC T2 processor offers
twice as much performance per watt was the UltraSPARC T1 and 10 times the
floating point computational power.
The new chip is also designed to excel at virtualization.
The UltraSPARC T2's ability to run up to 64 applications simultaneously on a
single processor is an attractive feature for IT departments looking to
simplify their data centers.
"The combination of Solaris and UltraSparc is a very
powerful virtualization platform," said
Fadi Azhari, director of marketing for Sun Microelectronics. "We
believe it's unequal in the industry."
Sun has also kept an eye on processor efficiency. The new
chip is to consume less than two watts per thread, adding up to around 120 to
130 watts for the entire processor. For the basis of comparison, the a
quad-core Intel Xeon processor requires 30 watts per thread.
Although the UltraSPARC T2 will definitely power many of Sun's
servers later this year, the company has many other plans for the chip's
applications. Different versions of the chip, perhaps with fewer cores or lower
power consumption, may be usable in networking hardware, set-top boxes, or even
"We don't want to limit ourselves to the server market.
The server market won't grow nearly as fast as the storage or networking
market," Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's CEO, said
in an interview. "While we are making them, we might as well make them
general purpose enough to sell them to the broader market."
The full-featured chip is expected to cost below $1,000,
though scaled-down versions will cost less for more simple applications. Schwartz
said that the company is already speaking to potential network and storage
partners on adoption of the UltraSPARC T2.
"Sun is entering the merchant silicon business and by
that we're going to be chasing the commodity volume markets which are not
simply limited to the market place for server computers," added

MADISON, Wis.—Gov. Scott Walker on Monday said he was directing his top aide to begin "extensive discussions" with tribal governments interested in the proposal to open a casino in Kenosha.
Walker gave no timeline for when he will announce his decision on whether to approve the $800 million casino project proposed by the Menominee tribe and Hard Rock International.
Walker has final say on whether the casino can open, even though the project was approved by the U.S. Department of Interior in August. The Menominee tribe has been pushing for opening an off-reservation casino for more than 20 years, saying it will help pull their tribal members out of poverty.
The Menominee want to build the casino complex on the grounds of the old Dairyland Greyhound dog track in Kenosha. The Ho-Chunk and Forest County Potawatomi tribes, which already operate large and lucrative casinos in Wisconsin, have steadfastly opposed the proposal.
Walker said Monday he was directing Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch to spearhead the talks "in an effort to maximize job creation in our state."
The Menominee argue the casino will create 5,000 direct and in-direct jobs, while the Potawatomi say it will cost the Milwaukee area about 3,000 jobs. Walker said during an afternoon visit to a veterans hospital in Milwaukee that it was hard to sort out the competing claims, and the state might hire a consultant to take a look at the numbers.
The Republican governor said his main concern was maximizing the number of jobs in the state, and that could entail some changes to the Menominee's proposal. He summed up his directive to Huebsch as "let's figure out some way to get to a win-win."
Two years ago Walker said he would only approve a new casino if there is community support, "no net gaming," and backing from all 11 of Wisconsin's tribes.
The Potawatomi reiterated their opposition to the project Monday.
"Following his review, we expect that Governor Walker will find that this project does not meet his criteria and is not in the best interests of Wisconsin," Potawatomi attorney general Jeff Crawford said in a statement.
A spokesman for the Ho-Chunk did not immediately return a message seeking reaction to Walker's latest statement.
Walker, who had said he hoped to decide on the Menominee casino proposal by last week, on Monday didn't give himself any deadline. Instead, he said he will "invest the time necessary to reach a positive solution for the state."

POP Goes Black, White, and Prada for Fall 2008
POP Goes Black, White, and Prada for Fall 2008
>> Franca Sozzani is feeling it, and now Katie Grand is too: the six covers of POP Fall 2008 are evenly split between three black models (Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell, Oluchi Onweagba) and three white models (Natalia Vodianova, Amber Valletta, Agyness Deyn), styled as "Hot Nuns" in Prada and photographed by Sebastian Faena.
Jourdan, with her Frida Kahlo brows, and Agyness, with her holy pose are most striking, but I for one can't wait to see the Agyness Deyn editorial inside we've been talking about for months. You know, the one where Ryan McGinley had her jumping nude off a fire escape?

Padres dismiss Towers from GM post
CEO Moorad hopes to name replacement in next few weeks
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- The Kevin Towers era as general manager of the Padres officially ended Saturday when the Padres announced that the longest-tenured GM in the Major Leagues wouldn't return in 2010. Towers, who is under contract for next season for close to $2 million, has held the job in San Diego for the last 14 seasons. "We found ourselves at a challenging spot with our general manager situation with one year remaining on his contract. We had to make a decision to extend him or to make the decision to move on and make a change at this point," Padres CEO Jeff Moorad said in a press conference at PETCO Park. "Kevin has had a terrific run in San Diego. I applaud his accomplishments. We believe he's left the club in a really good spot moving forward." Moorad said he had already interviewed three potential candidates and hopes to have a new general manager on board in the next few weeks. One rumored candidate is Jed Hoyer, the assistant general manager of the Boston Red Sox. Moorad indicated he has no plans to interview anyone from his former team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, where Jerry DiPoto, the vice president of player personnel, has been a finalist for recent openings in Seattle and Washington. Moorad, who expressed dissatisfaction with the Padres' scouting and player development side, said there were no internal candidates. "This isn't so much about what Kevin didn't do as opposed to what we'd like to do going forward," Moorad said. "We're interested in approaching the business in all aspects with a strategic mindset, one that involves the idea of putting our thoughts and plans together, both short term and long term." Moorad said he talked to Towers about three weeks ago and told him there would be a chance the team would make a change at the top. Moorad officially told Towers he was going in another direction with the GM job Friday. "I was stunned at first. I speculated that it was more about [getting] their own guy," Towers said. Towers, 47, was named the Padres' seventh general manager on Nov. 17, 1995. Over parts of 14 seasons, the Padres went 1,107-1,160 under his guidance, reaching the postseason four times and winning the second National League championship in club history during the 1998 campaign, the only time the Padres appeared in the World Series under Towers. "It's been a pretty good run, 47 years, never cut, released or fired," Towers joked during his press conference. "I'm a Padre at heart. Next year, I'll be rooting for them." Towers has presided over a team this season that has already won 11 more games than last season. The team is 36-24 since July 28 and has been infused by the play of several young players, like shortstop Everth Cabrera, pitcher Mat Latos and outfielders Kyle Blanks and Will Venable. "I probably enjoyed this year as many as any year," Towers said. "It's a fun group to be around. I would have never envisioned where we're at today."
