As it is in the body, it is not enough that the disease be stopped, but it must grow in health; so in the soul, it is not enough that acts of sin be forborne, which is stopping a disease, but it must be healthy, and grow in holiness.

Professor Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) and his beautiful, yet brainy co-worker/girlfriend, Professor Denise Gaines (played by Janet "Ms. Jackson if you're nasty!" Jackson), have discovered a way to manipulate DNA in order to take out unwanted genes. Sherman's also working on his own little experiment - a "fountain of youth" formula that will instantaneously reverse the aging process. All is going well for Sherman and his family, including Mama, Papa, brother Ernie and Granny (all played enthusiastically by Eddie Murphy). Everyone's still fat and happy, and just as lovably dysfunctional as usual. Things are going so well, in fact, that Sherman and Denise are even planning on getting married.
But trouble begins in Klumpville when Sherman's alter ego, the obnoxious id-driven Buddy Love starts to take over Sherman's thoughts, words and actions. Afraid that the despicable Buddy might ruin his chances with Denise, Sherman uses Denise's new gene manipulation process to extract Buddy from his DNA. Unfortunately, Buddy ends up escaping to roam free in the world, and the process causes a side effect in Sherman that drains his intelligence at a fairly rapid rate. To make matters worse, Sherman is offered $150 million by a pharmaceutical company for his fountain of youth formula, but he might not be intelligent enough to present and it explain it to the company. Buddy Love realizes this and steals some of the formula in order to take advantage of Sherman's predicament, and sign the deal with the company for himself. So begins a race against time for Sherman and his family to help him get his intelligence back, stop Buddy Love and make the deal with the pharmaceutical company.
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
is the sequel to 1996's wildly popular
The Nutty Professor
, in which Eddie Murphy made a huge splash playing multiple roles as the obese Professor Sherman Klump and the rest of his obnoxious, blubber-laden family. The sequel is pretty much more of the same - more dick and fart jokes, more fat guy insults and, overall, much more nauseating humor than what was found in the original. I mean, it's not COMPLETELY unfunny (there are a few pretty funny spots), but a majority of the jokes are just gross for the sake of being gross. If you were able to take this film out to your backyard and hose off all of the slime, you would have a decent little movie about accepting yourself for who you are, good or bad. This is an important message in today's society, that is so self-conscious of its appearance. We can't all look like waif-ish supermodels or that guy on those annoying Bowflex commercials. And the relationship between Denise and Sherman is quite touching. Denise loves Sherman because he's intelligent, and she's not so shallow as to wave him off because of his obesity - another important message. And while Janet Jackson might not be a great actress, as Denise, the love she shows Sherman was totally convincing and, at the end, even poignant. Most will remember this film for Murphy's amazingly convincing portrayal of seven different characters (which is quite a feat considering that each one ends up being so completely unique), but I was most impressed with his acting ability as Sherman during more quiet, touching moments, like his heartfelt speech in chapter 4, and his marriage proposal in chapter 7.
Also available on DVD from Universal is the original PG-13 rated theatrical cut of
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
that features many of the same supplements, however this review focuses on the alternate unrated disc called
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps Uncensored
. This newer uncensored version adds about two minutes to the PG-13 cut that would have easily given it an R-rating. The new scenes are easy to spot, as many of them were added into the film in an unfinished state, and will be recognizable by a yellow tint to the picture. The additional footage is just more unnecessary, unpleasant humor, no doubt added for shock value.
Presented in 1.85:1 widescreen (16x9 enhanced),
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps Uncensored
is a very nice looking disc courtesy of Universal. While there are some minor moments of softness and compression artifacting, the overall picture is pleasant enough, boasting bold and realistic colors, and a nice level of detail in close-up shots. Shadow delineation and black level are superb, and the overall picture has a smooth look to it.
Offering dual Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 soundtracks, this DVD has it where it counts in the audio department. The soundtrack is spacious and open with frequent use of the surround channels for added ambiance and directional effects. Dialog always sounds natural, and low frequency effects show off an effective punch in the subwoofer. The Dolby Digital and DTS tracks both come across as incredibly detailed and effective, and both sound pretty much identical. Whichever one you choose, you won't be let down.
Despite boasting an incredibly long list of extras features,
The Klumps Uncensored
on DVD left me feeling a unsatisfied. The best feature is the commentary track with director Peter Segal, but still it's not one of the best I've ever heard. Segal is an incredibly enthusiastic guy, and sounds like he would be a lot of fun to be around, but on this track he offers only a few interesting insights into the making of the film, and frequently slips into strange little quips, followed by a quirky little chuckle. I did get a big laugh out of his Howard Cosell impression, and he is fun just to listen to, so at least it wasn't a total loss. Somewhat less entertaining is a conversation with Segal and producer Brian Grazer, which takes the form of a running commentary track that starts at the beginning of the film, and lasts for about 30 minutes. This track is a bit more informative, and an interesting listen for fans of the film. Sadly, one of Universal's dreaded "behind-the-scenes" featurettes found its way onto this disc. Running a staggering three and a half minutes, we get cast and crew interviews in which they basically are trying to get people into theaters to see the film. More interesting is a 1996 make-up test for Eddie Murphy as Sherman Klump. It only lasts for about 90 seconds, but Eddie fills it up with some amusing spontaneity. A minute-long costume test for Janet Jackson also appears in the extras, in which she models the oversized wedding dress that Mama wants her to wear in the movie. Five storyboard-to-final-feature comparisons, four music videos (for
Doesn't Really Matter
by Janet Jackson,
Thong Song
by Sisqo,

by Musiq and

by Jay-Z), the theatrical trailer, production notes, cast and filmmakers' bios, Universal film recommendations and Universal DVD Newsletter subscription info round out the player-based supplements. A plethora of PCFriendly DVD-ROM content (including interactive games, screensavers, wallpapers and Universal web links) is also included.
Okay, so if you loved either of
The Nutty Professor
films, this disc is right up your alley. You'll get a new uncensored version of the movie, very nice audio and video presentations, and a lot of extra features - even if they are a bit thin on the informative side, being mostly promotional fluff. For fans of the film, I say go forth and enjoy. But for everyone else, I'd give it a rental first just to be safe.

This post continues the discussion in my "The Cloud Mystery Machine" post.
Contrary to the utopian cloud model many espouse, underlying infrastructure still matters, especially when you consider application performance and the ability to satisfy SLAs. Most folks are well aware of virtualization live migration incompatibilities between Intel and AMD platforms, but what about substantially reduced performance between Intel platforms? For example, consider an enterprise application that realizes a substantial performance benefit from Intel's hardware-assisted memory virtualization – Extended Page Tables (EPT). XenApp, Exchange, and SQL are among the many applications that benefit from EPT. Moving the application to a cloud platform without EPT support could result in significantly degraded performance. If you have no information on a cloud service's underlying hardware infrastructure, you may not know about the lack of EPT support until you start getting complaints about application performance. Then what do you do? Ideally, when a user or application requests infrastructure services from a cloud provider, there should be a mechanism for specifying low-level hardware requirements such as EPT.
When it comes to trusting critical applications to cloud service providers, not all organizations are keen on the idea of trusting an application on a white box server with memory acquired from the lowest bidder. Ditto for backend storage. This is one of the reasons why initiatives like VCE are important. A cloud provider offering services on known and trusted hardware is important to many decision makers. Sure you may pay a little more for the service, but for many IT decision makers, that's OK. SLAs are only as good as a provider's capability to honor them. Without knowledge of the provider's infrastructure, you may be rolling the dice. Take the recent HostV failure as an example. While phrases such as "All you need to worry about is the SLA" sound good in theory, today they're simply not practical. If cloud providers truly want to enable services such as application bursting to cloud, then they need to provide interfaces that accept very specific infrastructure requirements. Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is the best option we have for importing VMs to foreign infrastructures, and it's extensibility allows room for custom metadata today. So there's really no reason why service providers can't offer such capabilities today. Also, there's no reason why a service provider shouldn't be transparent about their physical and virtual infrastructure. If a provider isn't offering the detail you need to feel comfortable, then move on. There are plenty to choose from.

1.Background and Context
Moldova is participating in the EU CBC Programmes since 1996 being part of the Tacis CBC Programme that was lately followed by Neighbourhood programmes, as part of the EC Neighbourhood Policy (namely Neighbourhood Programme Romania-Moldova and Neighbourhood Programme CEDSES). In the 2007-2013 programming period Moldova was eligible for two ENPI CBC programmes and one TNC programme targeting social and economic development, common environmental challenges, development of an integrated infrastructure system in the border area, as well as 'people to people' co-operation: Joint Operational Programme Romania-Ukraine-Republic of Moldova 2007 – 2013, Black Sea Basin Joint Operational Programme 2007-2013, Transnational Cooperation Programme for South East Europe 2007 – 2013.
The participation of Moldova within the Black Sea Basin Programme is considered very successful in terms of number of submitted applications, involved partners and budget allocated via awarded contracts. In terms of the level of participation, beneficiaries and partners from Moldova had a 16% share of the total budget in the first call of proposals, the third highest comparing with all partner countries. After the evaluation process 62 applications were selected for implementation during two calls for proposals. Out of these, 40 applications have partners from Moldova. In five cases Moldovan applicants were Lead Partner. The projects involving Moldovan partners accounted 3.5 mil Euro. In terms of the number of submitted applications by Moldovan applicants the most demanded was the Priority 1 "Supporting cross border partnerships for economic and social development based on combined resources", followed by Priority 2 "Sharing resources and competencies for environmental protection and conservation".
The participation of Moldovan applicants within Joint Operational Programme Ro-Ua- Md 2007-2013 was also considerable. Within the first call for proposals, institutions from Republic of Moldova have submitted 112 project proposals and twice more within the second call - 272 project proposals. Moldovan applicants and partners managed to access about 40 mil Euro within two calls for proposals. If analysing the number of submitted applications by Moldovan applicants the most addressed are Priority 1 "Towards a more competitive border economy" and Priority 3 "People to People Co-operation". Within this programme Republic of Moldova has also participated in 6 Large Investment Projects (LIPs). LIPs were implemented by central public authorities such as: Interconnection gas pipeline between the Natural Gas Transmission System of Romania and the Natural Gas Transmission System of the Republic of Moldova on the Iaşi (Romania) – Ungheni (Moldova); Improvement of the response capacity of Mobile Emergency Service for Resuscitation and Extrication (SMURD); Prevention and protection against floods in the upper Siret and Prut River Basins (EAST AVERT), etc. Thus, in addition to the budget within the open calls, 11 mil. Euro were allocated to Moldovan beneficiaries/partners in order to implement the activities foreseen in the Large Investment Projects.
The South East Europe Programme aims to develop transnational partnerships on matters of strategic importance, in order to improve the territorial, economic and social integration process and to contribute to cohesion, stability and competitiveness of the region. The Programme helps to promote better integration between the Member States, candidate and potential candidate countries and neighbouring countries. Regional cooperation in South East Europe is essential, regardless of the different stage of integration of the various countries. The South East Europe Programme Area includes 16 countries. For 14 countries the eligible area is the whole territory of the country, namely for Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia and Republic of Moldova. As the ENPI funds were availed after the Financing Agreement was signed in December 2012, within the first tree calls the Moldovan partners have participated as "10% partner" in 7 projects and implemented activities which amounted EUR 285.500. An additional ENPI call for Moldovan partners has been launched in April 2013. Total ENPI contribution awarded for 7 projects constitutes 640,231.72 EUR
Following the closure of programmes, Moldovan national authorities, in cooperation with the Austrian Development Agency have decided to assess the impact of cross border cooperation programmes 2017-2013 on social and economic development of the Republic of Moldova. The currents exercise is financed under the Danube Connects Project, financed by the Austrian Development Agency.
2.Evaluation purpose and target audience
The impact assessment evaluation is intended to measure the level of achievement of programmes results and to prepare an inventory of effects, including impacts which have been or may be associated with the CBC and TNC interventions. These shall include results at the level of individuals, Civil Society Organisations/Local Public Authorities and social-economic sectors at large. It is expected that the impact assessment study will also provide relevant analysis, as well as conclusions, recommendations and lessons learned for future CBC programmes and collecting best practices/examples of successful projects. A separate Chapter on the promotion gender equality/women empowerment will be part of the Study.
The primary intended users of this evaluation are: State Chancellery, Ministry of Regional Development and Construction, Austrian Development Agency, as well as other central public authorities and externals development partners, involved in Programme implementation.
Primary intended uses of this evaluation are:
3.Evaluation tasks and questions
The assessment shall aim to identify any change resulting from Programmes interventions materialized in specific projects were Moldovan applicants are lead partner or partner in a CBC or TNC project. The study shall establish a causal connection between the change and the project inputs and measure the magnitude of the change. It will focus on and try to measure/assess a wide range of broad and strategic indicators, including projects relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.
In doing so, it should address the following questions:
Example of specific questions: Are the activities and outputs of Programmes interventions consistent with the overall goal and the attainment of its objectives? To what extent the project partners chosen were appropriate / relevant in reference to the project objectives? Etc.
Example of specific questions: To what extent were the projects objectives achieved? What were the major factors have influenced the achievement or non-achievement of the objectives? Assess the effectiveness of project partners in implementing the project's activities Etc.
Following evaluation questions shall be considered: Were activities cost-efficient? Were objectives achieved on time? Were projects implemented in the most efficient way compared to alternatives? Etc.
It shall be necessary to consider the following questions: What has happened as a result of Programmes interventions? What real difference has the Programmes interventions made to beneficiaries? Has the project produced an objectively measureable impact on gender equality/women empowerment? Etc.
It will be necessary to consider the following questions: To what extent did the benefits of Programmes interventions continue after EC funding ceased? What were the major factors which influenced the achievement or non-achievement of sustainability.
4.Approach and Methodology
The evaluation will use a theory-based[1] cluster design[2]. The performance of the Programmes interventions will be assessed according to the theory of change. Understanding why and under what conditions the interventions supported by CBC and TNC programmes (2007-2013) produced effects shall be of utmost importance for the evaluation consultant. The application of a theory-based impact evaluation approach give ground to assess if the three Programmes worked, how they worked and in which context at the same time for Moldovan beneficiaries.
The evaluation shall be carried out in three steps, namely:

So, this is my personal thought. Remember how we had 8 years of Bush and he started out doing a good job and everyone liked him and thought highly of him before the end of his first term? Like Obama. Obama was praised like I've never seen. But, in Bush's second term was when our economy and housing was a disaster. Well, considering Obama's approval rating right now, the scandals and the even more spending and higher unemployment, people will get sick of the democrats just like people got tired with Bush and the republican party for 8 years. The GOP right now... Really? WHY ARE WE TO FAR RIGHT?! I don't if it is my moderate views, or just my party is really that bad. I think honestly, that people will be tired of the democrats, just like how people got tired of the republican party after the housing crisis and everything that came along with it. I am hoping we can get someone strong, speak well, keep a legit promise, speak out to minorities and young voters. I am already scared of this man... I would to not see another democrat in the white house for a while. But it turns into a pattern. People got tired of the republicans, people will be tired with democrats. I will be on my knees hoping we can win an election.
Due to Obama's overall performance, and the handling of several scandals under his belt, the chances of one from his own party are slim. While politicians like Hillary Clinton have a strong amount of support, scandal too has damaged their reputation. Yes, today teenagers are more liberal, but they, like others have grown dissatisfied with the negligible growth in the economy. Therefore, there is a high chance that the democrats will face a defeat in 2016.
Democrats certainly have a shot in 2016, but Hillary Clinton is looking weaker by the day and Joe Biden would suffer from his gaffe-prone nature. Obama's main strength is his ground network, which is very vast but has only existed under him. Whether or not this network can continue after him is a major issue, because many of his key voters are black voters who are not inclined to vote otherwise. His victories in North Carolina and Virginia were due primarily to this factor, and it likely helped in Florida and Ohio. Democrats have little chance of advancing further in the electoral college - out of the 24 states Romney won, 20 were by a margin of over 10 percentage points, and only one was by less than 5% of the vote (North Carolina, 2%); only 15 of Obama's 26 states were by 10% or more, and three states (Florida, Ohio, Virgina) were by less than 5% of the vote. Taking away Florida, Ohio, and Virginia - the three states most likely to flip - Democrats would still have a total of 272 electoral votes, which would be a huge drop from Obama's 332 electoral votes. However, Republicans could certainly be competitive in the eight states Obama won by less than 10%, but more than 5%, of the vote - in order, they are Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan. These states hold a cumulative total of 81 electoral votes, and winning any one of them would result in a Republican victory; winning several of them could make up for losing Florida, Ohio, or Virginia. Additionally, Maine's 2nd congressional district, a heavily rural district, was won by Obama by a margin of less than 10% of the vote; it would be unlikely for it to flip, but if it did that would result in one electoral vote going to the GOP.
So, to sum up - Democrats are not safe in 2016. They have little chance of advancing into GOP states due to their relatively strong support for Romney, and they will be in the defensive in at least eleven purple or light--blue states; Republicans could win an election by simply keeping all the states they had in 2012 and then winning as little as four of the purple or light-blue states. Given the state of the economy, various scandals relating to Obama, the lingering unpopularity of Obamacare prior to its implementation, and the possible loss of a valuable ground campaign, Republicans could take control of the Presidency in 2016. It wouldn't be easy, but if they do it would be entirely due to Obama, in one way or another.
Obama lied to the public since before he was ever nominated (see "Meet The Press" interview where he said he would not run in 2008 because he owed it to Illinois voters to do that job). He hasn't really changed any Bush policies in 7 years. The Democrat benefit is Clinton and Sanders are approaching this carefully while Jeb Bush, who will most likely win the Republican nomination based on absurd PAC contributions (already over $100 million) is another Bush or Obama clone. However, if anyone looks back over recent times, the candidate that raises the most money wins and Jeb Bush is so far ahead there's almost no chance it will be anyone else so get ready for a few more years of working your ass off, lower wages and even less purchasing power.
I think Americans are ready for change. Romney has foresight to not run. Will Clinton ? Given the limited Democrat choices I don't think Hillary Clinton will quit. I don't think she will quit. Obama has made so many decisions that were not in the best interest of Americans. The Democrat chances for a third term are slim and none.
The biggest handicap for any politician post Obama will be having a "D" after your name on a ballot. A quick glimpse at history gives a good indicator at what to expect. It will be just like after Jimmy Carter (who seems like a raging success compared to Obama) Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, etc, except there likely won't be a bill Clinton to break up the conservative hegemony. American is a majority conservative country. The only way for a Democrat to win nationally is for A LOT of conservative voters to vote for them. Can't win otherwise in a nation where conservatives and conservative leaning independents outnumber liberal and liberal leaning independents by nearly 3 to 1. White guilt and a sense of affirmative action got Obama elected with no qualifications. He bamboozled his way into the white house. Americans won't be fooled again into making such a great mistake as electing a Democrat into high office. Americans are angry at the president and his party. "democrat" is well on its way to becoming a slur, a pejorative like "liberal". The kind of nasty name to label your political opponent if you want to bury them at the polls. Anyone who wants to run for higher office will automatically disqualify themselves in he eyes of the public if they run as a Democrat. The Democrat party is particularly damaged and a pariah in the eyes of young voters. Being forced to buy health insurance thereby being forced to subsidize others health care costs isn't sitting well. The executive amnesty that legitimizes and legalizes people willing to do the jobs the jobs that young Americans need for peanuts. Driving down lucrative blue collar wages that young Americans need to raise their own families on is not going to go over well. The Democrat party has done a lot of damage to country. They have favored foreigners over the well being of the american population. That alone has sealed their fate. The Democrat party is done.
I work with young people, most all of which strongly supported Obama, now years later, they feel he has hurt there potential for success. Also, most all hate the democrats of all reasons, for ruining their lunch. LOL M. Obama's lunch plan did in fact raise nutrition in school lunches, which would be good if kids ate it. However, kids tell me theirs goes in the trash because its "Nasty". They feel the democrats are control freaks who don't know when to back off and many of these kids will vote in the next election. Their minds are made up, does matter who runs.
When one party stays around for this long. Making this much of a, splash? Then it is to be assumed, by the past history of elections. That people will be tired of them. Obama has shown himself to be a good for nothing President, in the since that he has done nothing, except pass "Obamacare". Hillary, the Democrats best hope, is losing popularity steadily. Benghazi has ruined some of the reputation. The southern states have seen her in action during her stay in the Arkansas Governor's Mansion and don't want her back. And she's old. Whereas the Republicans have young flashy, popular with women, teens, and college students as well as old Republicans, candidates. Such as: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Tom Cotton, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan (to a certain extent), Brian Sandoval, Scott Walker, etc... The Republicans are looking like Tom Cotton, and the Democrats are looking like Mark Pryor.
Immigration reform is nothing more than a cloaked process to expand the Democrat base. It has nothing to do with creating due process for immigrant to become citizens.
Obama care is not a right. The process of creating this law was a corrupt Democrat partisan fraud
Obama is a fraud.
Apparently, Obama will clearly ruin the democrats' chances of retaining the White House in 2016. This is because his approval rating has been steadily declining over the past 6 months and is now at 46%, the same number George W bush had around this time in his second term. Since the republicans did not win the White House due to his unpopularity, if Obama has a 22% approval rating by the time his new term has expired whoever runs under the democrats may have a difficult time retaining the White House.
The question is whether or not the President will ruin chances for the democrats in the next election. The answer is no. He is doing a great job and I think their chances for re-election are going to be increased rather than decreased. Put you prejudice's aside and look at what he has accomplished.
Even though Obama's terms have resulted in doubling the gross overspending he accused Bush of, and if you are in the job market, even with a degree, you will most likely find a gas station job, the health system is in shambles and young voters don't notice this as much as us old folks. One major thing will ensure another democratic victory. We have a liberal press. 90+ % of all news reporting is extremely tilted toward the left. The media refuses to challenge the powers that be,, unless they are a republican. The silliness will continue until our standard of life is reduced to third world status, or until young people and the uninformed question the media.
I see declining unemployment figures, rise in economy, and I don't see any evidence behind that supposed "scandals".. I mean, if news media is this desperate, they might as well create a scandal out of Obama kicking a stone on the road, saying "Oh look our president kicked what looks like a cat on the road".
He has done everything he can to save the economy. I would say his measures are succeeding. Unemployment is lowest since 2008, and still declining, we're out of Iraq, and corporations' relentless drive to grab power is at least tried to be kept in check. I feel sad about people blaming Obama for the economy. It, in my opinion, is like people blaming the poor janitor of a school for not cleaning faster (Obama's the janitor), when no one sees how bad of a mess the schoolchildren (Bush) created in the school.
Obama was not the best president, yes, but our teens today are much more liberal. They will most likely side with the democrat running in 2016. Teens and young adults make up a good percentage of our population, so it would be no surprise to me if Hillary Clinton won in 2016.

Antonio Anderson
John Calipari
Darius Washington, Jr.
Shawne Williams
THE MODERATOR: On stage we have student-athletes from No. 1 seed Memphis. We'll open it up for questions.
Q. Darius, can you talk about what you know about Bradley. Is there any hesitation about having to play a 13-seed on such a roll, maybe to start thinking you can beat anybody?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: We know they have some inside presence, some outside presence. We know they got the run-and-gun like we do. We're going to just go through the game plan, just go all out.
Q. They just said they're not going to play zone, they're going to do what they do, come out, pressure, go right at you. In a year where people have consistently tried to slow the game down and come up with sort of pack it in and pray, is it refreshing or good news to hear somebody say that?
ANTONIO ANDERSON: Well, it definitely does. Usually we try to pick the game up, the pace on ourselves when playing opposing teams. The team is going to try to play the same way as us, hopefully that plays into our advantage.
They're a real good team. We just got to come out and play hard.
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: Like I said, that's their game plan, our game plan to run, too. We're going to do what coach tell us. We have to go out there and bring the (indiscernible). Got to be well-prepared and play hard.
Q. One of the big compliments that Bradley paid you was they couldn't think a person to key on, it could be one of anybody. If you had a choice as a team most valuable player, who would you pick?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Well, it depends what game you look at. Andre, he played great. Rodney played great. He hit some key shots. Who do you give it to? Had to go down to a team award. Everybody plays great. Everybody steps up. You can't just give it to one guy. Most teams have one guy, that one guy don't play good, that team kind of struggles. With us, we have so many guys, somebody's going to step up.
I think the coaching staff mentioned last week that we had one bad game, that was UAB. Our whole key is not to have one of those nights again. So far, somebody's than been off, two or three guys step up.
Q. Did you get a chance to see Bradley any during the tournament? If so, could you comment on some of their players that impressed you, what you like about them?
ANTONIO ANDERSON: Well, coach don't let us -- we're really not able to watch games or do such things like that. He really don't want us watching too much film or doing anything like that.
But we do know they got some guards that can shoot the ball real well. They got the big men, power forward that's pretty good as well. We just know we just got to come out and be able to defend like we're capable of doing. The coach is going to get us well-prepared, what they're doing in their offense, things like that, so we can be ready tomorrow to play.
Q. Darius, can you talk a little about what it's like playing for somebody like Coach Calipari, and also the comparisons to UMass, what that means?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Playing for Coach Cal, it's great. Sometimes you going to love him, sometimes you going to hate him. That's how it's always been since day one. He talks about like past experience when he coached Marcus Camby, Kellogg, Tony Barbie (phonetic). Our coaching staff, he tells how those guys play, some things that Marcus did. You know, he just shares the light with us because he's been there before. We were trying to get him back there, trying to establish ourselves in the NCAA tournament.
It's a great experience because he's been here before. He tells us, you know, about getting rest and about not being overhyped. We might have a game at 3:00, our shoot-around is at 12. He says, don't be overhyped because by the time you be to the game, you be worn you out. He tells us little things like that to keep us prepared for the game.
Q. Two freshman, sophomore, all year long big games, but have you ever felt any pressure at all? Your first NCAA tournament. Butterflies, anything?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: I mean, coach just tells us to go out there and play. He tell us, don't go out there to play to win, just play. That kind of help us out a lot, too, because more teams go out there to play not to lose, they end up losing.
He just tells us to go out there, do what you do best, just like it's a regular game. That's what all 15, 16 guys do when we go on the court. Play like it's a regular game. He tells us all the time for the first five, six minutes, don't look at the clock. That what we do. That's helping. We're going to keep doing that.
Q. The importance of you getting a chance to make a trip like this out to the west coast, coming from where you came from, living how you live, now you're traveling around the country and seeing the things that you're getting to see playing basketball.
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: Well, a lot of people getting it mixed up like I ain't ever been nowhere. But playing AAU I ain't been all over the country -- I never been to California, but it feels great because we're here in the Sweet-16. It's something we looked at on TV. Now we're here, we get to witness it and feel it.
ANTONIO ANDERSON: I traveled as well in the AAU, did things like that. Just being so young, us getting an opportunity to play in the Sweet-16, that's some things that some people can't do. We're still playing. A lot of teams, their season is over. We're just happy we're in the situation to be able to get to move on and we can get a win tomorrow.
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: We're just taking advantage of it, you know. Coach always says, you know, take advantage of this moment because who knows when you're going to be on a team like this again, this great of a team.
I mean, every moment we get together, every moment we go on the court, we just play like it's our last because, I mean, this year who knows if our team's going to be this great or this good. So we got to just take advantage of every moment.
Q. Darius, everybody when they talk about your team, they talk about how talented you are, how athletic the team is. Are people overlooking maybe the mental part of the game, your team's basketball IQ?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: You could say that. You know, I mean, we're smart. I mean, we use our ability to the fullest. We're fast, we're quicker than the other team, we're going to do that. But if we're not, we can grind it out, we can slow it down as well.
I think we saw that against Bucknell. They tried to slow it down, and we stayed in the stance for 35 seconds.
We're capable of doing it. If not, why do it? If the other teams want to play Memphis ball, we'll make them play our ball. They want to play their game, we'll play their game.
Q. What are your impressions of what Bradley has been able to do getting this far?
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: Well, I feel like they accomplished something great, too. But they still in the Sweet-16. They with us. They're a top, elite team. We got to go out and play hard, like I said to every reporter. Any team capable of being beat in a NCAA game. A night, a shot, one foul, only take two or three mistakes to cost you a game. Seems like two or three mistakes them teams they played against that cost them teams the game, and they kept advancing. That's what counts.
Q. It was a David and Goliath with Bucknell. Now you're getting Cinderella. Do you mind ruining these other teams' dreams on your way to the Final Four?
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: Basically that's what it's about. Going to have to be a winner every game. That's bad, but there got to be a winner, there got to be a loser. We just going to take it as it come.
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Same thing what Shawne said. Somebody got to win, somebody got to lose. We want to be on the winning end. We know Bradley coming in, we know they're good. If not, they wouldn't be here. This is the Sweet-16, so everybody's good. We know they coming in with tremendous confidence because they just beat Kansas, Pittsburgh. They coming in with tremendous, you know, intensity, come in hyped to upset another top 10 team.
Q. You just said Bradley is good. They obviously got this far. You're a No. 1 seed, they're a No. 13 seed. How do you worry about getting overconfident? Do you worry about being overconfident? Does Coach keep that in check for you?
ANTONIO ANDERSON: Well, we tend not to like pay any mind to that because we're the No. 1 seed and we know that. A lot of people think we didn't deserve that No. 1 seed. A lot of people didn't think we'd be this far in the tournament just because we're so young and things like that.
When people see that we're playing Bradley, such a team like that, they see it as another game just because they weren't expecting neither team to be in this situation. So like they said earlier, we're just taking full advantage of this opportunity. We're just going to keep playing ballgames.
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: I feel like right now, a number, that don't have nothing to do with it. A No. 1 seed, a No. 13 seed, we just elite 16 teams right now, you know, and somebody got to win. Any team can win. Ain't nobody locked to win.
Q. Darius, you said if you guys have an advantage running, you're going to run, why not. Is it fair to say that you feel like you have an advantage running against anybody?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Yeah. I mean, they're fast, too. Coach kind of say they're kind of fast. We haven't seen any tape on them. You know, we trust his word. So we have to do the small things that's going to help us win. You know what I mean? If they're fast or maybe even faster than us, now that comes to the IQ of the game. That's where we have to grind it out and get easy buckets.
Q. Antonio, if you were a television analyst or a radio analyst, how would you assess the other game? You have to play them both, what do you think?
ANTONIO ANDERSON: Assess what games?
Q. UCLA is playing Gonzaga.
ANTONIO ANDERSON: I'm really not even worried about UCLA or Gonzaga now. All our focus is on Bradley. If we can get past Bradley, we'll put our focus on whoever wins the next game. We played both of those teams earlier in the year so we know how they both play.
Right now our whole team focus and the coach's focus is on Bradley.
Q. Any of you want to have any fun with that question?
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Nah.
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: We ain't trying to predict nothing.
DARIUS WASHINGTON, JR.: Antonio already answered that question. We're focused on Bradley right now, nothing but Bradley.
Q. When did you get the new warm-ups? What do you think of them?
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: We got these warm-ups for the media. We got these for y'all. How do they look (smiling)?
Q. How do you think they look?
SHAWNE WILLIAMS: They look good. Coach had us in the jackets and everything. He says he likes this. It's his type stuff.
THE MODERATOR: Thanks, guys.
Now we have head coach for No. 1 seed Memphis, Coach John Calipari. We'll start with a brief comment.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: First of all, I cannot see any of those. Those lights are so bright. You'll have to say your name and let me hear it.
I like the frame of mind my team's in. We strive every year to have fresh legs and fresh minds as the year winds down. I feel we have that.
This team is chasing greatness. We've been talking about it. We're still on that path, chasing greatness. I don't want them to think about anything except playing. Forget about end result, what I like to say, "Just ball, just go out there and ball."
Great thing is, it seems like Jimmy has his team playing the same way, Bradley, that's how they're playing. It should be an interesting game.
THE MODERATOR: Open it up for questions.
Q. Bradley players said they're not going to be afraid, not going to play zone, not going to pack it in and pray. Is that good news for you?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: They're really fast and quick. They're really big. They've got a terrific foreman in Sommerville, who is a 3-4. Their guards, one, two and three, may be quicker and faster than us.
I've only seen it on tape, I've never seen them in person. And the big kid, O'Bryant, is probably -- he and Aldredge (phonetic) are the two best big cat guys in college basketball right now.
You're talking about a team that shouldn't be afraid. I know they won't be.
Q. Would you put them among the upper echelon of teams you've played defensively?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: You know, they could be. Again, I'm going to be honest, I've not played against them. What I'm seeing on tape, yes. But they may be better than everybody we've played defensively. I just -- I haven't seen them in person.
That's the one judge. You have an idea, this is what we're going to try to get done. Until that game starts, until I see their true size, everybody's guys are four inches taller than they're supposed to be. When the game starts, I'll have a better gauge of that.
I will say this: they play hard, they'll play fast and aggressive both on offense and defense. They're not afraid to bump and grind. They go after the ball. I mean, your elbow and shoulder are part of the ball when they're going after it. I mean, they're playing. They always have that big seven-footer behind their defense, which really gives them a big time advantage, which is really why they do a good time of denying the wings, denying the top, make you go back to the basket.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about the challenges of being such a young team, the importance of Carney because of that?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, there's positive and negatives. The positive part of it is they think they're supposed to win every game. The positive part is their excitement level for all this. The positive things for this team is they get along, all of 'em.
The downside is the experience, or lack of. Rodney has played in two NCAA tournament games. Now two more. He's played in four to this point. The other guys have all played in two. You know, they've not been in that grind. This is a one and done.
I'm doing my best to keep them off of that and just worry about what they have to do. Very simply, play your man and do what you're supposed to do for us. Worry about two things: who you are guarding and how is he guarding you, and what do you have to do for the team. That's it. Trying to keep it simple for them so we worry about doing our jobs versus worrying about winning.
Q. What do you think it says about college basketball today that you show up here and there's only one representative from one of the so-called power conferences?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, one of the things that's happening, when you're not able to recruit McDonald's All-Americans, those kids usually stay four years. A lot of the rest of us are losing players after one year, some of them not showing. It's really brought parity to basketball.
So now, you know, if you get a couple seniors, maybe they sprout up or maybe they just turn into something unique and special, you're there because the bottom line of all this is about having players. If you have better players than the other guy, normally you're going to win. If you don't, he's going to win.
When you're taking a young group like ours, it makes it a little more difficult. But it's added balance to college basketball.
Q. Along those same lines, so much has been made of the big names who you have recruited, haven't ever worn a Tigers uniform. How refreshing has it been for you to see some of these kids who are sticking around, going through your program, developing into stars, to see them accomplish what they have?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Well, Rodney has been the one, and it's amazing. If a Amare Stoudamire came, we wouldn't have gotten Rodney. I think Amare made a the right choice, too. I question that, but I think he had a pretty good pro career. I think Rodney has developed as a player, a person, he's matured. His self-confidence, his self-esteem, his skill on the basketball court, his poise, his personality has blossomed. He's primed to be a lottery pick in the NBA.
No one knew who he was coming out of high school. People saw him play. He was in the state tournament and did well. There were a lot of people. They didn't think he was quite good enough. He was undersized, he couldn't do this, he couldn't do that. Well, he's proven a lot of people wrong in that he just comes and plays.
The one thing I'm going to say about him that's unique, if you were a player and you knew you were in the top 10 pick right now in the draft, this coming draft, would you not play to get to the top five, in other words, shoot every ball, try to score 30? Say, okay, you think Morrison is good, watch me? He's not doing that. He only took 10 shots last game. He's trying to defend and rebound. He wants his team to win. How unique is that?
In my mind, if I was watching it and I was still picking players in the NBA, that would move him down a couple spots because I want a guy that's the best athlete in the country, that can make open shots, that guarded Redick and can really guard a player 6'4", 6'5", 6'6", and is unselfish.
Q. It's been brought up that with a lot of different teams you can sort of pinpoint a guy or two, you control those guys, can you control the game. Is that the case at all with your team?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: The thing I've tried to tell each of these players is, be ready for your moment. Andre has had a couple moments. I am so proud and happy for that young man. So is Robert Dozier, so is Shawne Williams, so is Joey Dorsey, Rodney Carney, Darius. How about Antonio Anderson? How about Chris Douglas-Roberts? How about Waki Williams? How about Kareem Cooper? This may be his game.
The biggest part of that is they have to be unselfish. What if I only play Andre Allen eight minutes this game because Darius is really playing well? What about Robert Dozier plays 30 minutes because Shawne had foul trouble and Robert was playing well. What if this game is better suited for Kareem Cooper than it is Joey Dorsey? What I'm trying to tell our players is you have to live with that and march onto the next game, and that may be your game and your opportunity to be the star.
That's very hard because it's got to be about team and not me. Very hard. But we've done it to this point. I'm hoping we can continue to do it..
Q. You talk about coaching against human nature. Your kids are young, they're a 1 seed. They see this as a 13 seed. How do you safeguard against any kind of letdown?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: I don't think they see it. I think what Shawne said is true. Everybody's the same now. There's 16 teams left. There's no who's No. 2, 5, 7, 8. Does not matter. It's who wins and who loses.
I think that my team sees it that way. I think you're all stunned when they say we haven't watched any tape. Does that stun you? I don't want them to worry about Bradley. I'm vomiting worrying about Bradley. I saw Bradley's big men, their speed and quickness. I don't want them to worry about Bradley. You worry about us. We'll show them some tape tomorrow. I don't even like them watching other games. The reason is because when I watch other games, I get sick to my stomach thinking, oh, my gosh. Just worry about what we got right in front of us, and that is Bradley, who are you guarding, and what do you have to do for our team? That's all I want them to worry about.
You know what, what a great group. They're in the locker room right now. I'm looking at them. They're enjoying each other's company. Again, we'll be tested now. We've taken shots and swings and punches and kicks from a lot of teams and stayed standing. But now it's going to be on. This is what your season's about.
Q. So many people talk about your team and talk about how talented and athletic. Could you address your team's basketball IQ, talk about some of the mental strengths your team has.
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: First of all, I would tell you defensively is what everybody's talking about our team, what I'm hearing. Everybody is saying, do they guard, they're long, they're skilled. What you're finding out is they're able to play different styles. So when you're able to play -- I think we're in the top three or four in scoring in college basketball. I think we're in the top in efficiency offensively. But we're also one of the top teams in defensive efficiency in college basketball.
I have to say this because I know people will say, "Your league." We only played 14 league games. Our numbers non-league are better than the numbers we have in the league. So that doesn't work.
We have played both ways. If a team wants to grind it out, then let's go. If you want to play zone, that's fine. I think it's important that your team knows that they've been prepared to play any way the other team maybe forces us to play.
I told them against Bucknell, look, we want to make this an up-and-down game. I had to coach against Temple. We could never make it an up-and-down game. So we'd win 60-40. Who cares? We'll play their way and let's beat them playing that way. I said, this Bucknell game may be the same way.
They're in a great frame of mind. I think they know they can play the way they need to play. Intelligent kids. They're doing well in school. They take care of business. They like each other. Decision making can be suspect at times based on their inexperience. Haven't been around this. You draw from past experience when you're making decisions. In basketball, those are quick decisions. So that affects us.
We can guard against foul trouble, injuries, a lot of things, because of our depth.
Q. You referenced the NBA experience. Has this tournament run sort of reinforced your preference for college basketball over the NBA? Could you ever see yourself going back to the dark side?
COACH JOHN CALIPARI: Oh, wow (laughter). I love what I'm doing. We're taking a program that had been down for a while and we're trying to make strides to make it a solid program for the next decade if we can.
I enjoyed my time in the NBA. But there were feelings that I had there that I don't ever want to feel again. There were other feelings there that were pretty unique and a lot of fun. I just got a call in the locker room from my point guard, Sam Cassell. He's in Memphis. I left a message back on his phone, I need you to go feed my dog, water, while I'm out of town. I'll talk to him.
I've made some great friends in the league and relationships. I enjoy what I'm doing. I enjoy these young people. Seeing them grow, having an impact on their lives. You don't do that in the NBA. In the NBA, it was fun, I enjoyed the challenge. We went to the playoffs, we did some fun things. I got fired - fired (smiling), which most people do in that league. There's a few that survive. Right now, what a fun thing I'm going through right now. It does make it as though this is as big as anything, this tournament.
THE MODERATOR: Coach, thanks.
