WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of out-of-work Americans continuing to draw unemployment benefits has surged to a 25-year high, while shoppers have turned extra frugal, further proof of the damage from sinking economy, credit problems and financial stresses.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of people continuing to draw unemployment benefits jumped by 122,000 to 3.84 million in late October. It was the highest level since late February 1983, when the country was struggling to recover from a long and painful recession.
New filings for jobless benefits last week dipped to 481,000, a still-elevated level that suggests companies are in a cost-cutting mode.
The work force was much smaller in February 1983, when the number of people continuing to claim benefits was 3.88 million.
At that time, about 87.2 million Americans were in the work force, compared to almost 134 million today. That's one reason the unemployment rate was 10.4 percent in February 1983, compared to 6.1 percent last month.
Still, the increase in people continuing to draw unemployment benefits is an indication that laid-off workers are having a harder time finding new jobs.
Democrats in Congress are pushing to include an extension of unemployment benefits in a new stimulus package, which could be taken up this month. Benefits typically last 26 weeks.
Congress approved a 13-week extension of benefits in June, and the department said about 773,000 additional people claimed benefits through that program for the week ending Oct. 18, the most recent data available. That extension is scheduled to end next June.
Americans hit by layoffs, shrinking nest eggs and other stresses are pulling back even more, sending sales at many big retailers down in what may have been the weakest October in decades. That further darkened the outlook for the holiday sales season.
Target Corp. and Costco were among the many retailers reporting sales declines last month. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, however, logged a sales gain.
On Wall Street, stocks slumped. The Dow Jones industrials were down about 350 points in afternoon trading.
Hoping to prevent a deep recession, the Federal Reserve last week ratcheted down interest rates last week to 1 percent and left the door open to further reductions.
The country's economic state has rapidly deteriorated in just a few months. The economy contracted at a 0.3 percent pace in the July-September quarter, signaling the onset of a likely recession. It was the worst showing since the last recession in 2001.
With the economy sinking and consumers' appetites flagging, employers have been slashing jobs. They are expected to cut around 200,000 jobs when the government releases the October employment report on Friday. The unemployment rate – now at 6.1 percent – is expected to climb to 6.3 percent in October.
As American consumers watch jobs disappear and their wealth shrink, they'll probably retrench even further.
That's why analysts predict the economy is still shrinking in the current October-December quarter and will continue to contract during the first quarter of next year. All that more than fulfills a classic definition of a recession: two straight quarters of contracting economic activity.
Yet another report out Thursday showed the efficiency of U.S. workers slowed sharply in the summer as overall production, or output, declined, reflecting the hit to consumers from housing, credit and financial troubles.
Productivity – the amount an employee produces for every hour on the job – grew at an annual pace of 1.1 percent in the July-September quarter, down from a 3.6 percent growth rate in the second quarter, the Labor Department reported.
With productivity growth slowing, labor costs picked up. Unit labor costs – a measure of how much companies pay workers for every unit of output they produce – increased at a 3.6 percent pace in the third quarter, compared to a 0.1 percent rate of decline in the prior period.
The 1.1 percent productivity growth logged in the summer beat economists' expectations for a 0.8 percent growth rate. The pickup in labor costs was faster than the 2.8 percent pace economists were forecasting.
Economists often look at labor compensation for clues about inflation. These days, however, the Federal Reserve and analysts are more concerned about the economy's feeble state. While the pick up in labor costs might raise some economists' eyebrows, the Fed is predicting inflation pressures will lessen as the economy loses traction.
The 1.1 percent productivity gain was the smallest since the final quarter of last year, while the increase in labor costs was the biggest since that time.

Federal Financial Regulators Announce Public Service Campaign to Help Hurricane Victims
WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 13, 2006) – The federal financial regulatory agencies today announced a public service campaign to aid in the financial recovery of victims of last year's hurricanes.
Although four months have passed since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall, some bank customers have not yet been in contact with their lenders. Communication is an essential step in the road to financial recovery.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the National Credit Union Administration and state financial regulators are encouraging banks, thrifts, and credit unions to continue to work with borrowers affected by the hurricanes. Assistance may include waiving fees, lowering interest rates, extending repayment schedules, or deferring principal or interest for an additional period, where appropriate. For these options to be considered, however, it is essential that the borrower contact his or her lender.
The federal financial agencies continue to work to meet the needs of federally insured depository institutions and their customers. Additional guidance is available at the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council's Web site (http://www.ffiec.gov).
The public service announcements (PSAs) are being distributed to print and radio media outlets with the highest concentrations of people affected by the hurricane. The PSAs are also available for download and use from the OCC Web site at https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/psa/index-psa.html. If customers need assistance contacting their lender, please call the toll-free FDIC number, 877-275-3342.

Michael Jackson's Estate Sued by Singer's 'Former Flame' for $1 Billion
The estate of the late, great Michael Jackson is being sued for a whopping $1 billion. WTF? Well, a woman named Kimberly Griggs claims that the King of Pop used personal details about her life in his songs and for that, she is owed a cool billion. Not million. Billion.
Briggs filed her handwritten lawsuit (!!!) in San Diego, revealing that she had an intimate relationship with Jackson, which began back in 1979. She says that hit albums such as 'Off the Wall,' Thriller,' 'Bad' and 'Dangerous' chronicled the details of their relationship. Really? Really. But wait, it gets better.
Griggs also says that to make amends for exposing details about her in his songs, Jackson promised her the rights to them, which translates to lots of ca-ching, ca-ching. She claims that she was surprised when she was left out of his estate.
TMZ reports that Griggs has a criminal past, having served time for burglary and robbery, which is just another reason to raise an eyebrow over the validity of her claims.
This sounds like the rantings of quack, and like it holds absolutely no legal weight. Besides, why come forward now? Oh, right, because she likely just thought of it. And a handwritten lawsuit in 2012? Maybe if she wins damages she can buy a computer to file her next bogus lawsuit!

Sharing an apartment is a necessity for many people, especially those who are just entering the housing market for the first time on an "entry-level" salary. In these tough economic times, sharing costs with a roommate is a great way to help cut expenses. And living with someone can be a lot of fun and a great bonding experience: Many roommates remain lifelong friends well after their living arrangement is over.
But the success of a roommate relationship is dependent upon two factors — compromise and communication.
Do you really want a roommate?
First and foremost, if you are considering a roommate purely for financial reasons, you may be able to afford an apartment on your own — if you are willing to make the required tradeoffs. For example, if you are willing to move farther from the city center —and live in a walk-up building instead of a luxury doorman tower — there is a much better chance that you will be able to find a rental property that fits your budget. It all comes down to your priorities. What is more important to you: privacy, space and independence, or living in a prime neighborhood in a more luxurious building (along with the potential camaraderie of having a roommate)? The decision is yours.
Keep it equal
If you choose to enter a roommate situation, there are a few things you can do to increase the chances of the experience being positive. While it's not always possible, it helps to start the apartment search on "equal footing," meaning that both parties are moving into the apartment at the same time. This scenario helps avoid the feeling that the apartment belongs "more" to the first person who got there, which can cause instant tension.
While it may seem cold, it also helps for both roommates to be in similar financial situations. It can cause problems if one party feels they cannot "keep up" with the other or if one roommate feels the other is "pulling them down" (by being late with bills, rent, etc.). What happens if one roommate wants to hire a cleaning service or spring for the premium cable package, and the other can't afford it? In roommate situations, a similar financial status equals a better chance of success.
It's also always a good idea for both roommates to sign the apartment lease. This way, both parties have equal rights (and financial responsibility) for the space. In many cases, apartments with two bedrooms will have a larger "master bedroom" (which may include an en-suite bath and/or larger closet space) and a smaller second bedroom. The equitable solution is that the person who sleeps in the larger room pays a larger portion of the rent. Exactly what percentage more should be discussed prior to signing the lease.
Communication is key
Outline your expectations for the new living situation as soon as possible. Be clear as to your expectations up front and don't hold back — it's better to discuss these issues prior to the move-in date rather than six months into a lease. What are your thoughts on visitors, the division of chores and sharing personal items or food? Everyone has a different idea of what an ideal roommate should be. Do you want a joined-at-the-hip best friend with whom you share everything, or a nearly invisible roommate who works an opposite schedule and locks the cabinet where their food is stored?
Also keep in mind that there is no better way to kill a friendship than by living together. The reason? People who are friends often take liberties with each other that they wouldn't dream of taking with strangers or acquaintances. As the saying goes, "You only hurt the ones you love." It's often best to live with someone whom you are not emotionally invested in.
Don't go to bed angry
We've all heard this gem of advice when talking about tips for a happy marriage, but it applies to roommates, too. Do not let little annoyances build up. If something bothers you about the other person's behavior, address it immediately.
It also helps to use a little basic psychology. The "I message" is a powerful and proven tool to help diffuse tense situations. For example, saying "I was disappointed when I came home and saw all the dishes still in the sink" makes the other party react much less defensively than "you never washed all the dishes from last night — it's still a mess!" Using "I" implies you are responsible for how you feel instead of placing blame on the other person by using the subject "you."
Don't sweat the small stuff
As I stated earlier, compromise is a main component of successful roommate relationships. Will your roommate drive you crazy sometimes? I can almost guarantee it. When things are not going so smoothly (and this will happen) remember to put the situation in perspective. In some circumstances, it's simply not worth the stress. While I 100 percent advocate expressing any issues with your roommate quickly and directly, remember to pick your battles.
With proper planning and a focus on open communication, living with a roommate can be a rewarding experience. It will help you learn valuable skills in dealing with people that transfer to all aspects of life. In fact, I still look back fondly at many experiences I shared with roommates over the years, and I sincerely hope my advice helps you achieve the same result.

She's a Rebel with applause
IT WOULD be easy to hate Rebel Wilson if she was a willowy blonde with immaculate style. In a few years, she has seemingly conquered Hollywood, most notably in the Judd Apatow film Bridesmaids, in which she almost stole the limelight from the film's stars, Kristen Wiig and Oscar-nominated Melissa McCarthy, despite appearing in just four scenes.
And with recent appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and a coming spread in Vanity Fair, wearing a $2 million necklace, Wilson is now one of Australia's most recognisable cinema stars. On December 6 comes the release of her latest film, Pitch Perfect; another, Pain & Gain, will follow next year.
Wilson, who was invited to Sacha Baron Cohen's 40th birthday and has tweeted photos of herself with Hollywood A-listers including Zac Efron, says it is surreal to suddenly find herself befriended by people she used to watch on TV and in movies.
''Obviously, a lot of people want to work with you and think I'm funny, which is so nice,'' she says. ''Also, I call them my celebrity friends because it's not like if you had some major issue you're going to call up [Bachelorette co-star] Kirsten Dunst and say, 'Hey Kiki, I've got a problem with my smoke alarm. What am I supposed to do?' You know, it's not that kind of friend.''
Los Angeles-based paparazzi also rate Wilson highly enough to stalk her as she shops for clothes or meets friends.
''Now the paparazzi know where I live. They camp outside my place, they follow me. I don't really change what I'm doing but it's now weird to have people interested in what you're doing.''
Paparazzi aside, Wilson would appear to have little in common with Australia's other queens of the screen, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts. It is hard to imagine any of them conducting interviews in an adidas tracksuit, let alone being searched at Los Angeles International Airport for looking like ''a Yugoslavian gangster'', as Wilson puts it.
She described the incident to her 240,000-plus Twitter followers in September: ''Um, I learnt my lesson - am wearing a gangsta-looking tracksuit at the airport - stopped by security four times, full body pat down plus drug test.''
In Pitch Perfect, Wilson plays a member of an all-girl a capella group, the Bellas, who teases deaf Jewish students and calls herself Fat Amy so that ''twig bitches like you don't do it behind my back''.
''I actually think 90 per cent of actresses, at least in America, would look at that and go, 'Oh, I'm not playing that role','' she says. ''I look at it and go, there's huge comic potential in that role. I'm totally going to go for it. I don't care.''
Wilson, softly spoken and unfailingly polite, is a far cry from the crass, slovenly, outspoken comic creations she played in Pizza and Bogan Pride. The oldest of four creatively named children (Liberty, Ryot and Annachi are her younger siblings) of beagle-breeding parents, Wilson says she has an ''underdog personality'', which was shaped in her school years. ''At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends. No one thought I'd be an actress.
''Where I come from, out in the suburbs, I didn't know anyone who was a professional actor. And girls that looked like me? No girls like that were on TV.''
Wilson began a law degree at the University of New South Wales, which she completed in 2009, while building her career in television. She also enrolled in evening classes at the Australian Theatre for Young People, where her first attempt to find an agent was met with derision. She recalls: ''At my very first meeting, they said, 'we can't really see you being on Home and Away', and they rejected me. So I had to keep being myself and prove that I was better than what was out there.''
That setback did not stop her winning a scholarship in 2002, sponsored by the theatre company's patron, Nicole Kidman, to train at the renowned improvisational comedy school Second City in Chicago.
Body fascism might be rampant in Australian acting, but Wilson says comedy provides a home for misfits.
Indeed, she doubts whether the conventionally beautiful ever make good comedians, although her Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Camp, who plays the uptight Aubrey, is an exception to the rule.
''What they do in America in all those sitcoms is hire glamorous girls and they're never that funny … that's because they've never had to develop a personality because they're hot. I think girls like me have to develop a personality to get any sort of attention.''
Wilson says her family also had low expectations of her acting career, telling her they did not want to watch shows such as Bogan Pride, which she wrote and starred in. ''At first, they honestly didn't think I'd be in movies,'' she says. ''They were like, 'Who would cast you?'''
Wilson's rising celebrity status seems to have changed their minds. ''They love who they get to meet. They love coming to the premieres,'' she says. ''And I think they think I'm good - even my brother, who's like the harshest, most cynical critic.''
Wilson does not hide her admiration for Hollywood, which, unlike the local entertainment industry, has embraced the funny, fearless young woman who was a weight-loss ambassador for Jenny Craig until acting commitments intervened.
''Before I went to America there were maybe one or two movies a year that I could audition for, and even then it was difficult to find a female part that was any interest or of any comedic value,'' she says. ''Whereas when you go over to America there are things to audition for, a couple of things a week.''
Nor is she always cast as the fat, quirky girl providing comic relief for her skeletal co-stars. In Bachelorette, Wilson had the more serious role as Becky, a bride who asks three former school foes to be her bridesmaids. In Pain & Gain, she plays a woman embroiled in a kidnapping plot.
''My strategy in America was definitely to get a profile as an actress and then segue that profile into getting my own projects,'' she says. She has been commissioned by US television network ABC to write, act and produce a comedy series, Super Fun Night.
The show's pilot included a scene where the characters try unsuccessfully to enter a club. ''I'm like yeah, I've had that first-hand experience of totally being rejected and having to explain you're in the movie with the girl having the party,'' Wilson says.
■ Pitch Perfect opens on Thursday.

Seemingly from the moment Nikki Marshall stepped on the soccer field at the
She wasted no time living up to the lofty expectations that accompanied her to
Entering her junior season,
"Personally, I'd really like to break the scoring record, but I really want to have more assists this year," said Marshall, who has 30 career goals. "To me it's not about shots because I don't want to be seen as just a goal scorer, but an all-around player."
"Katie Griffin has the (goal-scoring record, 32) and I was able to play with her, as she was a senior when I was a freshman," noted Marshall. " It's cool to be in a position to break her record because I always looked up to Katie and wanted to be like her."
"That being said, all of my real goals this year are team goals. I know that they can go far in the NCAA Tournament this year, and I think we have a great chance of winning the Big 12 Conference. I think that this team can make it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tourney this year, we can be the 'Cinderella team' -like USC was last year. I have high hopes for the team and I know my teammates feel the same way."

Her national team experience was valuable during a "slow" start - two goals and an assist in the season's first five games.

Moving between forward and defender is challenging but something that
"Playing forward is more of a light hearted position, if you will, because there is not as much pressure on you - like there is when you're playing at defender."
"I don't really prefer one (position) over the other," said Marshall, the owner of 30 school, conference, regional and national awards. "But, I think everyone likes forward more because it's the æcooler' position, you get to score goals and you receive more recognition for your play. But now that I've played center back, I have a new found respect for the girls that play back there. I know how difficult it is, and how much focus and effort you have to play with to play back their successfully."

We landed in Melbourne yesterday (Friday) and had a delicious dinner with Jo's parents at Bistro D'Orsay. Today we've been walking the city which is very pedestrian friendly and beautiful to see by foot if you are so inclined. I've included an aerial photograph of the city which shows the Fitzroy Gardens. Check out the link for more images.
Sorry this is so brief, because I would love to talk about our walk through Fitzroy (Melbourne's first suburb), Lygon Street (loaded with Italian eateries and shops) or the massive outdoor Melbourne Market, but that will all have to wait. Tonight we are off to dinner with Jo's parents again (this time to a Greek restaurant); then tomorrow off to visit her grandparents. Our time in Melbourne is flying by and I'm already wishing we had more time.

The gullible brain. Financial fraud and older age, sadly, go hand in hand: The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 80% of scam victims are over 65. I've always assumed that crooks who went after senior citizens were taking advantage of the mentally frail – singling out dementia victims, for example. But a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (and nicely summarized here on Science magazine's website) suggests that older fraud targets might be falling victim to a different kind of brain-function problem.
Older people, the study explains, tend to be better than the rest of us at seeing their experiences in a positive light and not overreacting to everyday problems. But that enviable trait appears to correspond to a gradual growth of inactivity in the anterior insula, a region of the brain that Science describes as a "built-in crook detector" that fires up in the presence of someone whose behavior seems shifty or untrustworthy. The good news (if that's the right term): If you're worried that your parents or other older loved ones could be becoming overly credulous, you can train them to reactivate the anterior insula—for example, by teaching them to watch out for facial signs of untrustworthiness. A topic for Christmas dinner, perhaps? (Kudos to MarketWatch's Tom Bemis for the reading tip.)
Power play. For many people, the ideal retirement plan includes eliminating some of the biggest expenses of adulthood. (Mortgage? Retired it and tore it up. Kids' college loans? All paid off. Car loan? Please—I paid all cash.) The idea, of course, is that your nest egg will stretch further if your routine expenses are lower. In a MarketWatch RetireMentor column today, Jack Tatar explains how he came to the conclusion that he could add another expense – the monthly electric bill – to the "disappeared" list by "going solar." Converting his home to solar power (which cost him about $28,000, after tax breaks) will eventually reduce his expenses by $250 to $300 a month; to get the same income out of a 5-year CD at current rates, Tatar says, he'd have to sock away $200,000. Of course, the financial math won't work out so well for everybody, as the author acknowledges (and many commenters point out): Tatar lives in New Jersey, where tax incentives for solar installation have been particularly generous.
Share the shares. Why give your kids or grandkids an iPad this holiday season when you could give them, say, a dozen shares of IBM? Well, for starters, you'd probably prefer that they didn't go to their graves resenting you, but let's set that aside for now. MarketWatch's Charles Passy points out today that "gifting" stock to relatives, traditionally a useful estate-planning tool, appears to be much more popular this year, as more parents try to figure out how to defend their estates from possible tax changes related to the "fiscal cliff." Passy discusses the tax implications, and other issues, here.

One child chokes to death every 5 days in the US. Basic emergency medical training should be taught in schools.
Was sent to me by a contact on Linked. Not sure where the data comes from but with the ability to learn a simple and effective maneuver, the Heimlich, very easy to teach and to learn, these could be prevented.
I have taught hundreds, if not thousands, BLS/CPR which includes dealing with choking victims..
Now where is the outrage over this?

'significant-something' color block top
Added Sep 27, 2011
by daligula
Playa Del Carmen...
After sewing three T-Shirts for my 'significant-something' I ended up with three long and narrow stripes of jersey fabric long enough for a T-shirt, but so narrow it was useless… and then I had this idea of creating a color block top!
I love the results so much that I decided to share this project =)
I hope the instructions are clear, since it's the first time I'm sharing something.
Material Notes
- Jersey in three different colors. I used three stripes 1m long and about 45 cm wide.
- Aprox 1m of elastic, 1cm wide.
- Aprox 60 cm of narrow twill tape. You can use stripes of self fabric, though.
- Thread in colors similar to the fabric… or use a contrasting thread if you want.

Philadelphia Snatches Asomugha Away
I know Jerry Jones likes to go for the gusto. But this move was wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start. Just look at the glaring needs remaining on the roster as it stands right now. The Cowboys are in dire need of a safety and they have very little depth at defensive end, wide receiver, and they are still in the market for a right guard. Signing Asomugha would have made any additional free agency moves very difficult to pull off.
And the dead money counting against the cap next year is bad enough without throwing in Terence Newman's cap hit had he been released to make room for Nnamdi. I could have lived with throwing money at a guy like Nnamdi if the Cowboys weren't heading for salary cap hell next year and weren't struggling with the cap this season before signing a high priced free agent.
I know that everyone is in love with Asomugha right now. But I still have visions of Miles Austin going for 7 receptions, 145 yards and a touchdown against him in 2009. Don't get me wrong here. Nnamdi is a very good player. But to get the money he wanted I think you have to be great and I don't know that he is great.
And hey, it isn't like the Cowboys are one guy away from making a Super Bowl run. Coming off a 6-10 season it is hard to imagine that ignoring several areas of need to obtain a luxury item is going to help you turn things around.
I know people are down on the Cowboys secondary right now but I think the secondary is going to be much more effective this year now that Rob Ryan is going to be constantly mixing things up on defense. Nnamdi would have been great in the Cowboys defense. But can he also play safety and defensive end? Can he fill in a right guard if needed?
In other news, the Cowboys were able to come to terms with Marcus Spears today to start to fill the glaring need at defensive end. The contract is for 5 years and $19.2 million. That is a relative bargain compared to the 5 years, $27.2 million contract that Stephen Bowen got from the Redskins. Spears has always been the best Cowboys defensive end against the run so I'm glad he'll be back. Now he just needs to stay healthy.
Unfortunately the injuries in camp are mounting very quickly. Tashard Choice is out with a strained calf and Keith Brooking strained a hamstring today. Injuries are a part of the game but the Cowboys have just seemed to get more than their fair share in training camp over the last few years.
As another crazy day of free agency starts to draw to a close I am actually very thankful that the Eagles saved Jerry Jones from himself today. I know there are promising young players on the roster but you don't want to count on too many of them if you want a real chance at a playoff run this season. Like I said before, getting Asomugha would have make it next to impossible to address the rest of the roster needs. Hopefully the rumors of Astante Samuel being shopped in a trade are true because the Eagles are loaded at cornerback right now.

hey wittenhof,ReplyDelete
i love reading your blogs and your comments on various cowboys related websites. we share a lot of the same view points but i love hearin your take on stuff.
as for nnamdi,
its like the analysts and reporters and news breakers are tryin to make the cowboys look bad for not spending all that money to aquire a superstar. the meadia always criticized us for going for the flashy ( t.o. pacman roy williams )big name free agents. so this year ya jerry makes an offer and nnamdi seriously considers it. we were in it till the end. he ended up goin somewhere else but whatever. we save the money and get abram elam ty warren? a RG another DE? we can address all those issues now. nnamdi woulda been cool but its whatrever.
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2011 at 11:44 PM
Great article, as usual, I just love reading your take on things! I agree with you word for word on the Nnamdi deal. I almost never comment on here but just wanted to let you know I check the site daily and love reading your take on things.ReplyDelete

But please (not trying to be rude) is it possible that any future comments can stay on the topic at hand: Taking racism into consideration, which country is the best for a black EFL teacher with one year experience (South Korea) and a Master of Science (not arts) in Education (no type of teaching certification) to teach: Japan, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. AND OF COURSE I REALIZE THAT RACISM IS GOING TO EXIST IN ALL OF THESE NATIONS. WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THIS. I AM SIMPLY LOOKING FOR WHICH MIGHT BE LESS BLATANT, OR which will not be AS NEGATIVE for a black teacher. Thank you again.

I am sorry to hear about the bad experiences that you've had in Gor-eeeeee-uggggghhhhh. I have also had some bad experiences like MANY others..Eastern Europeans,other Asians,Americans,Canadians etc. If I may kindly make a suggestion, the proper phrase is Asian economic crisis, not IMF deal. Or, if talking about Korea specifically..the Korean economic crisis. So many South Koreans have blamed the IMF or United States for THEIR economic crisis which was THEIR fault. The proof is there as I have read in detail. Unfortunately,BLAME BLAME BLAME is the name of the game many times with many South Koreans. Not the truth based on facts. It is the fault of certain South Koreans that the nation almost went bankrupt. It is for this reason that first the South Koreans went to the Japanese for a bailout, and were refused. Then, they went to the IMF with an arrogant attitude as I have read. That attitude was "You need us more than we need you." Yes, doesn't this smack of the "Oh, we're so SUPERIOR" attitude that the Koreans have? BIG MISTAKE!! The IMF's reply was basically "We'll cut you off just like the Russian's." You might have read about Russia's economic problems not long ago..and having to go to the IMF for a bailout. *** As far as your being spit on,etc. ARE YOU HAPPY KOREA????!!!! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF???!!!!!! YOUR COUNTRY IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were two whites, the African, plus a gaggle of Chinese in a karaoke bar. The karaoke bar was a concession to the Chinese side. My African friend sang a few songs himself - all in Mandarin! The Chinese girls sang English songs, a few sang Chinese. The African's girlfriend sat close to him. From time to time, he would hug her, embrace her. We drank beer. Out of nowhere, a searing topic sprang up between a few of us sitting in one corner. I don't know if I brought it up or someone else (the beer, the beer!). It was about international relationships. Soon I learnt - we all learnt! - that the African loved his girlfriend deeply, but her love was more subdued. In particular my friend complained she avoided public displays of affection. He had wanted to meet her folks during the recent holiday season - she had refused. Some of his female friends from overseas would give him a peck on his cheek - this infuriates his CHinese girlfriend. "He has many girlfriends", she says. "Nonsense! They are just friends, platonic friends," he says. Does she understand 'platonic'? Back to top CapergirlJoined: 02 Feb 2003Posts: 1232Location: Nova Scotia, Canada Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2003 10:13 pm Post subject: Psychedelic When I said "IMF deal", I was not referring to the Korean economic crash itself but to the hullaballoo that followed. The International Monetary Fund bailed out the South Korean government (as we all know) shortly after the crash and the Koreans did not like (huge understatement) the conditions that were imposed on them by the IMF. They seemed to think that the IMF, and the U.S. in particular, was trying to take control of their country and its economy. Anti-foreigner sentiment was extremely high during that time and it was a very trying time to be a North American living in South Korea...as I'm sure anyone who was there could tell you (or perhaps you were there and you experienced it yourself). I'm well aware of where the fault lies (*cough* Chaebol ) and of how the Korean government attempted to place blame elsewhere. My point on this thread is that being white does not preclude you from experiencing discrimination in Asia. The idea that complete strangers would spit on me or that taxis would drive away from me (once with the door opened ) was a complete shock to a blonde female from Canada. To the original poster of the thread: I'm sorry if the discussion went a little off-topic, but I doubt that you are going to get a satisfactory answer to your query. Is one of the countries you listed any less racist towards black people than the others? I doubt that very much. I think if you are going to teach EFL in Asia, you will need to prepare yourself for just about anything.

You should go to the ME, particulalry Saudi Arabia. We have many Black instructors here, and while this is no paradise, Islam strictly prohibits racial discrimination, so things are OK. Saudis are used to seeing Black people and used to having Black Americans here. I'd say, get into a military contract in Saudi. When you have your monye, then you can go to Asia. If you still want to be in Asia, I suggest Vietnam. One of my Black friends lived there for 6 years and he loved it. They poorer they are the less racist they tend to be.

I personally think that in any country their are going to be racist losers. I am from New York and we have a phrase that says" Do you" stop worrying about the next man and Do you! If you still haven't found anything go to the Middle East. If you choose ESL you going to be the hired help in any country. Go with the flow and do you best work. gajien, cocojien, guilo cocolo who cares! Some people we'll love you want to know how it is to be you, and some will hate you. I have heard Japan has a large counter culture dedicated to"Hip/Urban/Jazz/Black life". Young Japanese kids into hip hop. Hey I say anything that helps them identify with you and African culture in a positive way is good. Your a teacher, teach them that it its not logical to hate. Also remember that you can be your worst enemy, if you have a victim mindset then you become the victim. I went to a college where all I saw were Black people everyday, and to them I wasn't Black enough. I used to hear everything, wetback jokes and green card stuff. I know how it is to feel like an outsider, don't let it bother you. If you are good, cream will always rise to the top. I hope that you find what your looking for and I pray for you to become more comfortable with yourself and to have strength.

I will leave it at that, because that was a very bizarre and incorrect conclusion that you reached from a simple question which simply asks where might racism be less prevalent than in Korea. Simply because someone wants to find a better living situation where they can have more peace of mind should in no way imply that they lack self confidence. You seem to be aiming your criticism towards me instead of aiming it towards the many ignorant minds throughout this world who are the reasons threads such as this are started. Back to top cafebleuJoined: 10 Feb 2003Posts: 404 Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2003 7:14 am Post subject: I agree with deshell While pistonear is obviously coming from a sympathetic position to deshell, I think he has missed the point. It is obvious from his postings that deshell is not on a `victim trip` or is projecting his discomfort on to any situation or racial group. Asian countries (in common with most countries in the world) have their share of racists, and unlike western countries there are few, if any, legal means of successfully challenging the racism that occurs at all levels of society. In fact I would say there are less than few means of challenging the racist mindsets and institutionalised racism of Asian societies. As I wrote on another thread, as soon as a rental office knew that I was a foreigner who was interested in renting a place that can kindly be described as a shack, they told my friend who had called on my behalf that I would need 2 guarantors. Even for Japan this is unusual. The one guarantor was mentioned during the telephone call and then when my friend said I was a foreigner, it suddenly became 2 guarantors. In my home country, a Japanese person or any other foreigner could and would use this as grounds for charging racial discrimination and could be in line for compensation if they decided to take legal action. It is not simply a mistaken perception - Japanese society (along with other Asian societies) has racially discriminating norms entrenched in its institutions and everyday living realities. The racism I have experienced here is minor but it is a reality. But actually deshell would be better off coming to Japan than a number of other Asian countries, such is the objective reality of racism in Asia.

DANVILLE — Vice President Joe Biden and his Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, both gave solid, aggressive performances when they met Thursday night at Centre College for their only debate of the campaign.
So who won? Your opinion probably depends on which one you liked better before the 90-minute debate began.
Biden learned a lesson from President Barack Obama's passive first debate two weeks ago with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Biden gave a forceful defense of the Obama administration's record while attacking Romney and Ryan's "bluster and loose talk" on Middle East policy.

While Obama didn't bring up Romney's controversial "47 percent" comment in his debate, Biden jumped on it repeatedly. He accused the Republican ticket of trying to marginalize people such as his parents, average people he grew up with in Scranton, Pa., and even troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But Ryan shot back, saying Romney's words didn't come out quite right — something Biden should know about, a reference to his reputation for verbal gaffes.
Biden avoided such gaffes in this debate, and he repeatedly pushed back against his serious young opponent's statements by laughing, shaking his head and constantly interrupting him.
Biden did what he needed to do in this debate: provide a forceful defense of the Obama administration's record, policies and plans.
But Ryan also did what he needed to do: try to undermine that record and argue that he and Romney offer better solutions to the nation's problems.
Moderator Martha Raddatz, a foreign policy specialist at ABC News, did an admirable job of trying to keep the debate on track. She tried to pin both candidates down when they evaded answers or hedged comments.
Biden's strongest moments came when he accused Romney and Ryan of wanting to cut taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. And after Ryan criticized the Obama administration's stimulus spending, Biden recalled how Ryan put in many requests to get some of that money for his Wisconsin district.
But Ryan made a strong case, too, arguing that Romney's policies would promote more economic growth. Ryan's closing statement was better than that of Biden, who grew more mellow and serious in the final minutes of the debate after Raddatz asked them to each discuss their Roman Catholic faith and how it influenced their views on abortion.
Whatever impact this debate has might not last beyond Tuesday, when Obama and Romney have their second debate in Hempstead, N.Y., when they will take questions from "undecided" voters in a town-hall format. Their final debate is Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.
The longest-lasting win may be for Centre College and Danville, which showed for the second time in a dozen years how to host a vice presidential debate in style.

Miami is making its first playoff appearance since 2008 and is looking for its first postseason win since the wild-card round in 2000. Quarterback Matt Moore will make his first postseason start for the Dolphins with Ryan Tannehill out because of an injury.
With the game-time forecast of around 20 degrees, the Dolphins put footballs used by the team's place-kicker and punter in a freezer before practice to simulate conditions for Sunday's game.
Miami beat Pittsburgh 30-15 in October as Jay Ajayi ran for 204 yards and two touchdowns.
"One of those weird days in football," Steelers guard David DeCastro said of his team's struggles in that game. "Sometimes you're going to have one of those weeks."
Ajayi is one of four players in NFL history with three games of at least 200 rushing yards in a single season.
The Steelers are 34-23 in the postseason, tied with Dallas (34) for the most total playoff wins all time.
The Steelers' offense led by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running back Le'Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown will be in the lineup for the first time in a playoff game.

TOKYO (AP) -Faatiga Lemalu scored two tries on Sunday as Samoa defeated defending champion Japan 27-26 to win the Pacific Nations Cup.
Hendrik Tui and Ayumi Goromaru ran in tries to help Japan take a 16-0 after 27 minutes. But Samoa came back late in the first half and cut the lead to 16-14 on tries by Kahn Fotuali'i and Lemalu.
Samoa took a 17-16 lead on a Ki Anufe penalty three minutes after the break and the visitors widened the lead to 24-16 when Lemalu ran in his second try and Lolo Lui added the conversion.
Anufe's second penalty of the day in the 65th minute gave Samoa a 27-16 lead. Japan got two tries from Takashi Kikutani and Toshiaki Hirose but Ryan Nicholas' conversion drifted wide as Samoa held on for the win and the title.
Samoa improved to 3-0 and won the PNC trophy for the second time, having previously won it in 2010. A win by Japan would have seen the title decided next weekend when Fiji hosts Tonga at Lautoka's Churchill Park.
Samoa coach Stephen Betham made five changes to the 22 that beat Fiji last weekend. In the front row, Tii Paulo started at hooker with Wayne Olo Avei moved to the bench, while Logovii Mulipola was handed the No. 3 jersey.
Iosefa Tekori took over from Daniel Crichton in the second row and Kane Thompson replaced Ben Masoe at No. 8. The backs were unchanged with the exception of scrum half, where Fotuali'i got the nod over Jeremy Sua.
Samoa 27 (Kahn Fotuali'i, Faatiga Lemalu 2, tries; Ki Anufe 2 penalties, 2 conversions, Lolo Lui, conversion) def. Japan 26 (Ayumi Goromaru, Hendrik Tui, Takashi Kikutani, Toshiaki Hirose, tries; Goromaru 2 penalties). HT: 16-14.

Melony Dodson
Melony calls the beautiful mountains of Boone, N.C., home, although she was born near Greensboro, N.C. There's just something about those Blue Ridge Mountains that got in her blood and never left after she moved there to attend Appalachian State University (ASU). While at ASU, she majored in piano performance and music therapy and began to cultivate a love for accompanying and for collaborating with other musicians. This soon led her to earn a master's degree in collaborative piano at the University of Tennessee, which she attended from 2006-2008.
While a graduate student, she worked at WUOT as a student announcer, hosting Saturday afternoons and evenings. Melony rapidly developed another passion: that of being a radio personality/host. Soon after graduating, she began hosting weekend mornings, including the Early Morning Concert, and produced the highly popular Top 60 for 60, a special series commemorating WUOT's 60th anniversary. Two years later, she was honored to become the new host of the Morning Concert, of which she is currently the host and producer. Melony is also a choral accompanist for the UT School of Music's Concert Choir and the Men's Chorale. In her spare time, Melony loves to music-direct musicals. She is secretly (or perhaps not so secretly!) obsessed with the musicals of Stephen Sondheim and Jason Robert Brown. She also loves to travel, cook, hike and explore all of the cultural (and food!) attractions Knoxville has to offer.

Kim Kardashian and her sisters are suing their stepmother for leaking excerpts from their late father's journal.
Ellen Pearson handed over diary extracts to sister magazines In Touch and Life & Style for an expose on alleged infidelities that ended lawyer Robert Kardashian's marriage to the reality TV stars' mother Kris Jenner.
The journal entries detailed Kardashian's feelings about his wife's alleged extra-marital affair.
Now the siblings are suing Pearson claiming the copyrighted property belongs to them, and she had no right in allowing the magazines to publish extracts.
In a lawsuit filed in California on Thursday, the Kardashian sisters and Jenner claim Pearson has engineered a "despicable and unlawful scheme to hold in secret and convert, and now exploit… private personal and copyright protected" documents.
According to the complaint, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Kardashian bequeathed the "bulk of his personal tangible and intangible property" to his four children, and, as a result, the diary and family photo albums are "incontestably" their inheritance and property.
The sisters and their mother claim Pearson kept these belongings "with the express intent to one-day capitalize and exploit the valuable property,"
The Kardashians insist they had no knowledge of the diary until extracts were published in February, and they have accused Pearson of attempting to "peddle and exploit… the private and valuable personal papers of Robert Kardashian".
The sisters are suing for conversion and copyright infringement and at least $500,000 in damages, profits, statutory damages, punitive and exemplary damages.

Message from the Commissioner
Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 70, No. 3, 2010
August 14, 2010, marks the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Social Security Act into law. We have prepared a special issue of the Social Security Bulletin to commemorate this milestone. In this issue, several of our employees have contributed articles that reflect on Social Security's rich history and importance as a financial safety net for millions of Americans.
In the first article, Larry DeWitt, SSA's historian, describes the historical background and major legislative developments of the U.S. Social Security program. In the second article, Carolyn Puckett, from the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics, documents the many administrative challenges that the agency has faced. Carolyn's article covers efforts to modernize, restructure, and improve processes; cope with staff reductions; and comply with court decisions. Next, Dalmer Hoskins, from the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics and formerly the Secretary General of the International Social Security Association, provides an international perspective. David Weaver, the Deputy Associate Commissioner for Retirement Policy, follows with an article about widows under Social Security. David's article examines the adequacy of these benefits and the economic well-being of this group. In the final article, Stephen Goss, SSA's Chief Actuary, examines the future financial status of the Social Security program.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue of the Bulletin. I encourage you to learn more about Social Security by visiting our History Page at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/.

Brussels, 7 November 2012
Mergers: Commission approves Outokumpu's acquisition of Inoxum, subject to conditions
Following an in-depth review, the European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of Inoxum, the stainless steel division of ThyssenKrupp of Germany, by the Finnish stainless steel company Outokumpu. The approval is conditional upon the divestiture of Inoxum's stainless steel production facility in Terni, Italy. The Commission had concerns that the combination of the two largest suppliers of cold rolled steel products would have given the merged entity the power to raise prices. The commitments offered address these concerns.
"Stainless steel is a key material for a wide range of products, from household goods to industrial equipment, and an essential input for many European industries. The divestment of the Italian Terni plant ensures that the creation of a new European market leader will not be detrimental for consumers and businesses in Europe." said Joaquín Almunia, Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy.
The Commission's in-depth investigation focused on the production of cold rolled stainless steel products in the European Economic Area (EEA). In this market, the merger will combine the first and the second largest supplier. The transaction, as initially notified, would have created a player three times as big as Aperam of Luxembourg and five times as big as Acerinox of Spain, the closest competitors and respectively the third and fourth player in the market.
The Commission's investigation found that while imports account for an appreciable part of the EEA market, they are insufficient to constrain price increases, because they are generally not considered fully substitutable by final customers. Moreover, despite their level of spare capacity, it is likely that the two main European competitors of the parties, Aperam and Acerinox, would have found it more profitable to follow price increases by the merged entity rather than competing sufficiently aggressively to prevent them. Price increases resulting from the transaction, as initially notified, would have likely been much higher than any potential synergies.
In order to address these concerns, the parties offered to divest Inoxum's stainless steel plant in Terni and a number of distribution centres in Europe. The divestment will provide the purchaser with a fully integrated, stand-alone production and distribution business, having access to all major EEA countries. At the option of the purchaser, the divestment will include Terni's forge (Societa' delle Fucine) and the large bright annealing line LBA2. The Commission will make sure that this business is sold to a suitable purchaser, as provided in the EU Merger Regulation, and will check that Terni's viability and competitiveness is ensured.
The proposed commitments ensure that the merged entity will continue to face a sufficient competitive constraint in the market for the production of cold rolled stainless steel products in the EEA. The Commission therefore concluded that the proposed transaction, as modified by these commitments, would not raise competition concerns. The decision is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments.
Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum content of 10.5% chromium and a maximum of 1.2% carbon. It is a high-value product compared to carbon steel and amounts for 2% of the worldwide steel market in volume and 10% in value. It is the addition of chromium that provides stainless steel with its stainless properties. One of the main properties of stainless steel is its resistance to corrosion.
Stainless steel is used by a variety of consumer industries and in a wide range of products where resistance to atmospheric and chemical corrosion is necessary and where hygiene may also be essential, such as for household goods and in the automotive industry, building & construction, commercial catering, the chemical and food industries, transportation, etc.
The proposed transaction was notified to the Commission for regulatory approval on 10 April 2012. On 21 May 2011, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation (see IP/12/495). The parties were advised in a statement of objections adopted on 9 August 2012 that the merger, as initially notified, raised serious competition concerns in the markets for the production of cold rolled stainless steel products.
The Commission's investigation found that the proposed transaction would raise no competition concerns for the production of slabs, hot rolled stainless steel products, precision strip and ferrochrome. The Commission also concluded that transaction would not raise concerns with regard to the distribution of stainless steel products.
Companies and products
Outokumpu is a Finnish company listed on the Helsinki stock exchange. It is the parent company of a group that produces and distributes stainless steel products globally. It also produces ferrochrome.
Inoxum is the stainless steel division of the Germany company ThyssenKrupp AG. Inoxum produces and distributes stainless steel and high alloy products.
Merger control rules and procedures
The Commission has the duty to assess mergers and acquisitions involving companies with a turnover above certain thresholds (see Article 1 of the Merger Regulation) and to prevent concentrations that would significantly impede effective competition in the EEA or any substantial part of it.
The vast majority of notified mergers do not pose competition problems and are cleared after a routine review. From the moment a transaction is notified, the Commission generally has a total of 25 working days to decide whether to grant approval (Phase I) or to start an in-depth investigation (Phase II).
Currently, there are three other on-going phase II investigations. The first case concerns the proposed acquisition of Orange Austria by Hutchison in the market for mobile telephony services in Austria (see IP/12/726). The deadline for a final decision is 21 December 2012. In the second phase II case, the Commission investigates the planned takeover of small package delivery company TNT Express by rival UPS (see IP/12/816), with a deadline on 15 January 2013.

Cardinals complete four-game sweep of Brewers
Milwaukee, WI – Allen Craig doubled, tripled and drove in four runs and Matt Holliday had a two-run homer with three RBI to help the St. Louis Cardinals take a 10-1 victory and sweep the Milwaukee Brewers in a four- game series for the first time in franchise history.
Shane Robinson and Yadier Molina each drove in one run for the Cardinals, who added to a season-high with six straight victories. St. Louis has also won its last seven road tilts.
Jaime Garcia (4-1) eased through eight frames, giving up one run on eight hits with a walk and three strikeouts to earn in his fourth victory of the year.
"That's hard to do," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of the four-game sweep. "Proud of how the guys played. We were excited to come in and do the job well. I think it was just a little bit of everything."
Alfredo Figaro drove in the only run for Milwaukee, losers of five straight, all of which have come at Miller Park. Marco Estrada (2-2) struggled through 3 1/3 innings, allowing eight runs on six hits and five walks while striking out five in defeat.
St. Louis erupted for six runs in the second thanks to three hits, three walks and a hit batter charged to Estrada.
Early in the inning, however, things looked promising after Garcia struck out with a foul bunt for the second out of the frame. Runners remained on first and second, but things quickly changed.
Jon Jay was plunked to load the bases and Estrada issued back-to-back run- scoring walks to Robinson and Holliday which made it 2-0. Craig then smacked a bases clearing double to left, before Molina's single plated Craig, and ended the scoring barrage.
Two innings later, Holliday clubbed a two-run shot to left, his fifth of the season, to give the Cards a 8-0 lead.
"It was a really good one against a tough team," Garcia said, "with a tough lineup and a tough place to pitch. I was able to keep the ball down with my sinker. I felt strong enough to finish, but I respect the manager's decision."
Milwaukee registered its only run in the fifth. Carlos Gomez hit a leadoff double and moved to third on a fly out to right. Figaro then drove a single up the middle, scoring Gomez.
Craig stayed hot in the sixth with an RBI triple to deep center to give the visitors a 9-1 advantage. Tony Cruz drove in his first run on the season with a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth to account for the final margin.
"It was just a bad series." Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "We don't do it very often at home. They've been playing really good, we had two good games and two bad games. But when we're playing good baseball, and things are going well, we can play with anybody."
Game Notes
Milwaukee fell to 4-3 this season in Estrada's starts ... Estrada has given up 11 homers this season and allowed at least one in each of his seven starts ... The Cardinals last had a seven-game road winning streak from July 18-30, 2004 ... Holliday also scored three times ... Gomez has a 12-game hitting streak.

Humans can really come up with some kooky stuff.
Yes, they were tough...that's what they did...I had to re-circumcise them to get them to listen...another miracle that never made the front pages.
He seems to have some serious control issues, let alone delusions.
"I imagine jesus sought out the most superstitious people he could find"
That's not narrowing it down much, in that time period. Most people were uneducated in any kind of science and were quite superstitious. Hell, even science of the time period had a lot of what we now know to be ridiculous ideas.
If you watch 'Deadliest Catch' you'll see why I chose fisherman (or crabbers in their case).
Cephas...no, oh I know, you are really big, how about Peter. :)
Cephas sounds kinda dumb...like wuse.

Lindsay Lohan continued with yet another wild weekend in Hollywood. The starlet, who has hit the town 32 of the last 40 nights, was bounced out of LA hotspot Trousdale after she allegedly threw a drink – including the glass – at her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson.
"Just got a glass thrown at my head….. Hmmm- wonder who did it????" Samantha Tweeted over the weekend, following the alleged drink-to-the-head incident.
A rep for the club told Access on Monday, "Lindsay has been banned from the lounge."
As Sam exited the club, she was asked by paparazzi why the actress allegedly got violent with her.
"I don't know, she's an angry human being," she told the snappers.
Per usual, Lindsay was busy on her Twitter over the weekend, though did not mention the alleged incident, but did write on Saturday night, "keeping myself on house arrest from the crazy town that i live in!!!!"
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, over the weekend news broke that Lindsay was reportedly dropped from the indie movie "The Other Side."
On Monday, the movie's writer/director, David Michaels, confirmed to Access that Lindsay was no longer with the project.
"The report about Miss Lohan is accurate. The producers of the movie have reported that financiers have been resistant to finance the movie with Lindsay in the lead role," in a statement he wrote to Access. "And to clarify, 'bankable' refers to an actor's ability to attract production financing. [We] will announce our replacement soon as well as the addition of other formidable actors. Also, there have been several inaccurate articles, which have reported that the entire cast has left the movie and this is entirely untrue. We have an incredibly loyal cast who continue to support the project. We are most grateful to each and every one of them. In fact, since this announcement, major talent agencies have been calling incessantly to get their clients into the movie."
She also engaged in a Twitter spat with gossip blogger Perez Hilton over his comments about the actress taking her 16-year-old sister, Ali, out on the town.

by Micah Hart
When last we spoke around these parts, we were singing the praises of the Bulls' Derrick Rose, one of the game's great closers and someone we expect to see many Horry Scale entries from as the years go by.
Unfortunately Mr. Rose is currently out of the lineup for Chicago, having missed the past six games with a hamstring strain. So when the game came down to the final possession against the Raptors tonight, it brought up a quasi-philosophical question: if the Bulls need a game-winner and Rose isn't around to take the shot, does it make a sound? (Or something like that).
Looks like we have our answer.
For those that are new around these parts, the Horry scale examines a game-winning buzzer-beater (GWBB) in the categories of difficulty, game situation (was the team tied or behind at the time), importance (playoff game or garden-variety Clippers-Nets game), and celebration, and give it an overall grade on a scale of 1-5 Robert Horrys.
The Bulls may not have Rose, but they still have one more All-Star, and that is Luol Deng. Let's see how his understudy did:
The time element was the only thing difficult about this shot. Deng set a pick for C.J. Watson at the top of the key, then immediately dove to the basket to put himself in position for exactly what was to come — a potential tip-in situation. I would give Deng credit for a nice box-out to get his hold in the lane, but the Raptors really made it easy on him. To be fair, there is always a lot of chaos in a final-shot scenario like this, it's easy to lose your man. But Deng faces no opposition at the basket once he gets in the air, and the ensuing tip-in after Watson's shot comes up short is a piece of cake.
Game Situation
The Raptors led 101-100 after James Johnson hit 1-2 free throws with 15.2 seconds left in overtime, then failed to extend that lead when Gary Forbes missed a pair with 6.4 on the clock. The Bulls then inbounded the ball at midcourt with 6.0 seconds left — plenty of time to get a shot off, but with no room for error since they were trailing.
Here is what I wrote after Rose's GWBB back on March 7:
The Bulls fell to the Heat in last season's Eastern Conference finals, and the two teams appear on a crash course to go at it again this May. With the way Miami has improved, home-court advantage could certainly play a big role in that series, and as such, every win for Chicago will matter from here until the end of the regular season.
Since that win over the Bucks, the Bulls have gone 6-2, but have gained only one game on the Heat in the standings. The sentiment still stands.
If I had to make a list of every player in the NBA, then rank them most to least expressive, I'd probably put Deng somewhere next to Tim Duncan down near the very bottom*. So you know Deng has to be pumped to react the way he does after the ball drops — immediately pointing to the stands to celebrate with the fans. Of course by the time the camera pans in on his face the emotion is gone, but we'll take what we can get from Lu. Bonus points for John Lucas nearly spinning like a top on Deng's head, plus the shot of Rose watching it all unfold from the bench. By the way, someone tweeted after the game that in the Bulls' last 82 games covering this season and last, their record is 68-14. Going to be an interesting postseason in the East, no doubt about it.
3 Horrys. Last-second tip-ins are always a fun sub-genre of the Horry Scale. I'm tempted to debit a half-Horry for the way the Raptors gave this one away, but I won't. The stakes are always a little higher when you trail at the end, and Deng deserves a lot of credit for making a very difficult situation look relatively easy. Good on the Bulls for doing it all without Rose as well. And the cherry on top? The win made the Bulls the first team in the NBA to clinch a playoff berth this season.
What do you think?
