Derrick Rose injured his right knee Friday night and the Chicago Bulls star, who sat out last season following surgery on his other knee, did not return during a 98-95 loss to the streaking Portland Trail Blazers.
Wesley Matthews had a season-high 28 points and Damian Lillard added 20 to help the Trail Blazers run their winning streak to nine games.
Rose led the Bulls with 20 points, five rebounds and three assists but was assisted to the locker room with 3:20 remaining in the third quarter. The 2011 NBA MVP tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the 2012 playoffs and missed last season while recovering from surgery.
The top pick in the 2008 draft and a three-time All-Star, Rose was averaging 15.4 points this season.
Carlos Boozer had 16 points and Luol Deng added 15 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago.
Nicolas Batum scored 17 points for Portland, on its longest winning streak since the 2007-08 season. Robin Lopez had 13 points and 16 rebounds. LaMarcus Aldridge added 13 points on 4-of-20 shooting.
The game was tied at 88 before Kirk Hinrich made two baskets to give the Bulls a 95-91 lead with 3 minutes left. But then Batum knocked down a 3-pointer, Matthews hit a jumper and Aldridge made two free throws to pull it out for the Blazers.
The Bulls led by 20 in the second quarter but were outscored 34-9 in the third as Portland stormed back and took the lead.
Portland was coming off a 4-0 road trip that included a 97-87 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday, but the Blazers looked as though they were going to get blown out in the first half. Chicago jumped out to an early lead and was up 51-31 late in the second quarter before taking a 59-44 advantage into the break. Aldridge was barely a factor, missing nine of his 10 field goal attempts in the first half.
Portland came out strong in the third, erasing the deficit and taking the lead when Mo Williams hit a 3-pointer. The Blazers entered the final quarter with a 78-71 advantage. Portland shot 51 percent in the quarter while Chicago was 4 for 12.
The Bulls had won five straight before losing to Denver 97-87 on Thursday night in the opener of a six-game road trip.
NOTES: Bulls G-F Jimmy Butler sat out a second game with turf toe and will miss the entire road trip. Butler and Matthews were teammates at Marquette. ... Portland has won 10 of the last 12 matchups with Chicago at home. ... Aldridge was drafted No. 2 overall by the Bulls in 2006 but got traded on draft day to Portland for Victor Khryapa and the draft rights to Tyrus Thomas.

Bolt Prospects 2012 NHL Entry Draft Coverage: Introduction
With the Lightning prospect season finally completed, it is now time to turn our attention to the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. While the team's prospect system enjoyed unprecedented success, the team's struggles at the NHL level last season left the Lightning with a draft pick bonanza after a bevy of pre-deadline deals. Heading into the draft, the Lightning currently holds a pair of first round picks, and at least one second round pick following the trade of picks 37 and 50 to Nashville in the Anders Lindback trade. As of right now, they hold picks 10, 19, and 40 with Florida holding the option on pick 53. In all, the Lightning will have at least three picks in the top sixty selections of the draft, where the largest majority (approximately 70%) of NHL players come from. That means the same organization that just saw a rookie-laden AHL roster complete a record setting season will have the opportunity to add not less than three top-notch picks to their system. Times are good.
Most teams don't draft based on need, but over the past few years the Lightning have lucked out in that the best player available has often been at the position the Lightning most needed to fill. After the departure of Brad Richards via trade, the Lightning were fortunate to maintain their top pick in the draft lottery and find an instant replacement in Steven Stamkos. A year later, with a troika of star forwards in Stamkos, St. Louis, and Lecavalier, the Lightning got to make a move to shore up the future of their blueline by drafting Victor Hedman. The last two years have broken with that tradition, though, as the continued need to improve the blueline has not stopped the Lightning from selecting Brett Connolly and Vladislav Namestnikov.
Fortunately for the Lightning, this looks like another year where their needs and the prospects available will line up perfectly. The 2012 NHL Entry Draft is incredibly shallow if you're looking for a skilled forward, but it's as deep as the Marianas Trench when it comes to defensemen. For instance, Red Line Report's top 30 prospects includes 14 blueliners, and 8 of the top 15 prospects come from that position. That depth continues on down into the second and third rounds, as well, so the Lightning could walk out of draft day with a lot of their long term defensive needs met.
The team's second most pressing need became less of a concern with the signing of Riku Helenius this week. However, the Lightning find themselves with a glut of goaltending prospects in the 22-24 age range between Helenius, Dustin Tokarski, and Jaroslav Janus. Once that group moves through the pipeline, though, the next wave looks more like a trickle. That's why we wouldn't be surprised to see the Lightning use one of their top sixty picks on a goaltender, either, especially now that the Lightning have acquired the less experienced, less pedigreed Lindback rather than Los Angeles' Jonathan Bernier. Lindback will get 2-3 seasons to prove himself, but he's not a sure thing, which is why we wouldn't mind the Lightning drafting a blue chip goaltender if they feel confident in whatever is available on their board.
Least pressing are the forward positions, where the Lightning boast the best young forward in the game in Stamkos, two recent high picks in Connolly and Namestnikov, and a ton of high quality prospects ranging from Bolt Prospects number one prospect J.T. Brown to AHL MVP Cory Conacher to the prospect with perhaps the most potential in the organization, Richard Panik. The team is deeper on the wings than they are at center, and we wouldn't mind adding another centerman, but it's not like the team is hurting with Namestnikov and Tyler Johnson on the way.
Because of the high number of picks the Lightning hold, we've made the decision to provide expanded pre-draft coverage this year. In the past we've typically profiled about a dozen or so potential draftees. This year, we're going to twenty-four. That's right, it's Bolt Prospects' Dirty Two Dozen. And, like any successful organization, we'll start from the nets out. For our first story in the coming days we'll profile the 3 goaltenders we feel have a chance of being selected in the first round. We'll then move on to defenseman, and the 11 potential picks we feel might be getting Lightning hats in the first round on draft day. Finally, we'll move on to the forward positions, where 10 skaters will try to prove to the Lightning they're just too good to pass up.
Our schedule will be as follows:
Monday: Introduction
Tuesday: Goaltenders
Wednesday: Defensemen
Thursday: Forwards
And on Friday, Day One of the draft? Might there be a Mock Draft in Bolt Prospects' future? Check back throughout the week to find out!

Nighthawks Open Regular Season, Clip Eagles 33-6 [PHOTOS]
The Wichita Falls Nighthawks joined the Gridiron Developmental Football League (GDFL) with hopes of tougher competition while maintaining the dominance that they have always known. Both wishes came true in game one of the 2014 season when the Nighthawks dispatched the Texas Eagles, 00-00, on Saturday night in Memorial Stadium.
The "Flight Crew" offense found a rhythm late in the 1st quarter behind solid play from their line. On the second possession, WF RB Ontorio Shaw came alive and scored the first points of the season on an 18 yard scamper to the left pylon, giving the Nighthawks a 7-0 lead. Shaw went on to rack up 125 yards rushing in the first half.
Wichita Falls QB Omar Jacobs looked sharp, going 12-22 passing for 190 yards and 3 TDs. Two of those touchdown passes were to former MSU QB Brandon Kelsey. It is the second straight contest in which the pair has combined for multiple scores.
The WF "Nightmare" defense was dominant against the Eagle's offensive efforts. Texas QB Dre Sims was frustrated all night, throwing for only 74 yards passing. The Texas ground game wasn't any better, tallying just 64 yards. The Nighthawks also notched two takeaways - 1 interception and 1 fumble recovery.
The large crowd of Nighthawk faithful were rewarded with a chance to win one million dollars at halftime. 5 lucky fans were randomly chosen and then were allowed to pick from 1,000 envelopes containing different amounts of cash. Nobody found the million, but all five walked away with cash.
The Nighthawks' next game is set for Saturday, June 7, at the Dallas Anarchy. Kick-off is set for 7:00pm. The next home game will be on June 21 vs the Oklahoma City BountyHunters.
FINAL - Texas Eagles 6, Wichita Falls Nighthawks 33
Texas 0 0 0 6

NLCS Game 7: San Francisco Giants rout St. Louis Cardinals by 1,000 pin pricks
Brandon Belt stepped up to the plate in the eighth against Cardinals closer Jason Motte. It wasn't the game situation that Motte was hoping for. And the result wasn't what he was hoping.
Belt sent a towering home run to right center. It was the biggest blast of the night for the Giants. And yet, they won 9-0.
The Giants learned a lesson that they needed to learn all season. Good things can happen when you put the bat on the ball.
No one taught the lesson better than Marco Scutaro.
But the Giants didn't exactly tattoo Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse. They killed him with 1,000 pin pricks, and the Cardinals defense didn't help him out either.
First inning, Angel Pagan leads off the game by singling to right (So huge to get that first hit out of the way). Then the Giants do the hit-and-run with Scutaro, who laced a pitch to right and Pagan took third. The next three hitters didn't get the ball out of the infield, yet Pablo Sandoval's bouncer back to Lohse was enough to get Pagan home. Giants 1-0.
Second inning, Gregor Blanco lines a one-out single to right and advances to second on a Brandon Crawford groundout to first. Then Matt Cain shoots a single to center, scoring Blanco. It was the third consecutive game a Giants pitcher recorded an RBI. And it was another example of sloppy defense. Running on contact with two outs, the speedy Blanco should have scored easily on a single to center. But because it was the pitcher batting, center field Jon Jay was playing shallow. He got to the ball just as Blanco was rounding third. A strong throw would have made for a close play at home. It was not a strong throw, and it was cut off before reaching the plate. Giants 2-0.
Third inning, Scutaro lines another single to right (what else is new) on the first pitch of the innng. On the second pitch, Sandoval lined a double to left. Buster Posey walked to load the bases and Kyle Lohse was done. In comes Joe Kelly. Then came maybe the weirdest double in NLCS play. Off the bat, Hunter Pence hit what looked like it might be a double-play ball when he got his bat broken by a Kelly fastball. Slow-mo replay actually showed the broken bat making contact with the ball THREE TIMES. The spin on the ball made shortstop Pete Kozma break to his right, then the ball looped to his left and into center, scoring Scutaro and Sandoval. Jay came up to field the ball, but mishandled it, and Posey scored all the way from first. It didn't end there. The Giants would add two more runs on three balls that didn't leave the infield. Belt hits a chopper back to the bound that a jumping Kelly deflected with his pitching hand. By the time second baseman Daniel Descalso field the ball, Belt was safe a first. Then Blanco walked to load the bases … again. Brandon Crawford hit a slow chopper that Kozma charged and fielded. His only play was to first, yet he tried to force Pence out at home. No chance. Pence scored, and the bases were still loaded. After Cain struck out, Pagan hit what again looked like a double-play ball. But Kozma's underhanded toss to Descalso was high, forcing Descalso's throw to first to be low and Pagan beat it out, scoring Blanco. Scutaro walked to load the balls … again … before Sandoval ended the inning with a line out to first. Giants 7-0.
The Giants added an eighth run in the seventh inning on a run-scoring double play by Aubrey Huff. Sorry, Aubrey, no RBI. And then a ninth run on Belt's homer in the eighth.
The rest of the work was done by the pitching. Cain's outing looked more like his 2010 postseason, allowing no runs on five hits and one walk in 5 2/3 innings. The reaction shot of the night was when from Cain when manager Bruce Bochy came to relieve him after Cains struck out David Freese for the second out in the sixth.
"NOW?!?!?" Cain said. Tim McCarver read his lips as saying "No!!!" But McCarver was wrong, as he often is.
But after 102 pitches, Cain had done enough. Jeremy Affledt pitched the next 1 1/3 innings, giving up no hits and one walk. Santiago Castilla got the first two outs in the eighth while allowing two hits. Javier Lopez came in to end the eighth. He got two more outs in the ninth, but also walked two as he struggled with his footing on the mound in a raging downpour.
Bochy went and got Sergio Romo to get the final out, which he did by getting Matt Holliday (fitting) to pop out to Scutaro (even more fitting).
And the Giants were singing … and dancing … in the rain.

MANKATO (AP) - The wife of the Minnesota State, Mankato, football coach accused of child pornography says her husband is innocent and that she hopes authorities will reconsider the charges against him.
Todd Hoffner of Eagle Lake faces two felony counts related to child pornography after authorities said they found nude images of the 46-year-old's children on his cellphone. His wife, Melody Hoffner, spoke to the media Monday.
Melody Hoffner says the images on the video are innocent and that she and her husband were "in shock" when he was arrested. She says she is a licensed school counselor and knows the signs of children who have been abused. She calls the charges "ridiculous and baseless."
Todd Hoffner is free on bail and is on leave from his job.

kff needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
New childrens fitness program needs catchy logo that will be on website, business cards, brochures, t-shirts, race t-shirts, letterhead, etc. Check out website http://www.kidsfitfest.com for ideas.
This program is currently for kids ages 4-10. The age range may change but the logo needs to appeal to boys and girls. I don't want the typical pink and blue colors used. I also dont want all the primary colors used. I want something new, trendy and eyecatching since the logo will be put on the back of many t-shirts.If you visit my website I have been using a clip art picture as my stand by kind of logo. I have had many people comment on it. They love it! I realize it is only a girl and is only pink. So I want to attract to boys and girls. I might start using the tagline "we're bringing recess back" So if you want to create one logo with the tagline and one without. Any child that has participated in the program is given a tshirt. I am branching out into schools and offering the program as an after school option so it will be visible to many, many kids and parents.
What the program does is try to teach kids that getting exercise can be fun. I'm bringing recess back! We play all of the classic recess and backyard games that I grew up with and that kids these days don't seem to know how to do due to the video game craze. I want kids to play these games and then want to play them with their friends, family, etc. when they get home.
Kids that don't have interest in group sports, who don't have the athletic ability, or kids that just want to have fun are who I try to attract! I utilize cones, rubber balls, hula hoops, tennis balls, soccer balls, footballs,,etc. Anything I can get my hands on.
We do obstacle courses, relay races, tag, etc.
I created this company back in August and want to attract more kids by having a professional logo that I can print on all of my marketing material.
- open to lots of ideas, not really picky until i see some options
- open to colors used, but should appeal to boys and girls
- I dont want the logo to look like a sports program
- Item 1...
- i dont want the logo to look like a sports program

Distance Learners
College of Southern Idaho offers a variety of distance learning opportunities. Many of our courses are offered online, through our telecommunication system, or at our off-campus centers. We understand that many of our students have family or work responsibilities and are not able to come to campus during the day to take classes. Furthermore, many students prefer taking classes online. We even have students who live in our dorm yet choose to take online classes. Some students love this delivery method and they thrive in an online learning environment. Nevertheless, online learning is not for everyone. Online classes are just as challenging (if not more challenging) as their face-to-face counterparts. The learning outcomes are the same, only the delivery method and instructional strategies are different. Most students who do well in online classes are comfortable with technology and the Internet; like to read, do online research, and write; are self-motivated; and have very good time management skills.
Search the schedule of courses, register online, look up your grades, get a graduation report, check account balance, pay online, check Financial Aid status, and much more.
EagleInfo provides current College of Southern Idaho students, faculty and staff a place from which to access the online resources they use most.
CSI's online course management system. Most online courses and many face-to-face courses use Blackboard to upload syllabi, course documents, presentations, notes, handouts; for online discussions; online testing, etc.

VATICAN CITY — The Pontifical Council for Social Communications is inviting bishops' conferences, dioceses, religious orders and other church communicators to share the materials they have prepared for the church's celebration May 20 of World Communications Day.
A selection of bulletin inserts, advertisements, videos and radio spots sent to email@example.com will be posted online.
As of this morning, the site already featured materials from Ecuador, Italy, Peru and Spain. And, of course, from the Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI chose as this year's theme: "Silence and Word: Path of Evangelization," and issued a message on the theme calling for media efforts that help people find places for silence and for reflection in their lives.

One of the most charming neighbourhoods in Portland is the Pearl District, where everything is within walking distance. The loading platforms and cobblestoned streets are echoes from the past, while innovative companies and food service establishments usher in the future. This is also the heart of the city's cultural life. You won't have any trouble staying awake here, as no other neighbourhood in the United States has a higher density of coffee bars.
Few would have called it a gem 20 years ago. The Pearl District has an inglorious past and was once known as the Industrial Triangle, filled with shunting yards and weather-beaten warehouses. Nowadays, the neighbourhood is a trendsetter in urban renewal. The industrial buildings have been converted into trendy shops, chic lofts and inviting beer breweries.
Portland, the capital of bicycles, beer and coffee, celebrates workmanship, appreciates independence and is averse to pretensions. Over the last 20 years in particular, the city has undergone drastic change. Portland is big on green, from farmer's markets to organic beer. The bustling epicentre of this development is the Pearl District, once the subject of various studies on how to create the perfect neighbourhood from a dilapidated district. Nowadays, it's the perfect example of successful urban renewal. The neighbourhood spans around 100 city blocks between downtown, the Northwest district and the Willamette River. 'Pearl' is a place to hang out and take your time, whether browsing through trendy clothing and furniture shops or enjoying the tremendous selection of recreational pit stops, from coffee bars and galleries to brewpubs. It is worth noting that Oregon has no sales tax, which makes shopping even more fun.
Powell's is the largest chain of independent bookstores in the world and you'll find the mother of all bookstores in the Pearl District: Powell's City of Books. Losing your way in this paper maze makes the experience all the more fun. For book lovers, this shop is a Valhalla and, for others, hopefully an eye-opener. If you can't make up your mind, simply take a stack of books to the store café and browse through them till you find what you're looking for.
"Powell's is a Valhalla for book lovers"

ECTS Credits
ECTS Credits
ECTS - European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System
ECTS credits make teaching and learning more transparent and facilitates the recognition of studies (formal and non-formal). The ECTS credits system is used across Europe for credit transfer (student mobility) and credit accumulation towards a degree. It also informs curriculum design and quality assurance.
ECTS credits are based on the workload students need in order to achieve their expected learning outcomes. Learning outcomes describe what a learner is expected to know, understand, and be able to do after successful completion of his/her learning process. They relate to certain descriptors levels in national and European qualifications frameworks. Workload indicates the time students typically need to complete all learning activities (such as lectures, seminars, projects, practical work, self-study, and examinations) required to achieve the expected learning outcomes.
1 ECTS ACADEMIC CREDIT = 25 to 30 hours of study work
60 ECTS credits are attached to the workload of a full-time year of formal learning (academic year) and the associated learning outcomes. In most cases, student workload ranges from 1.500 to 1.800 hours for an academic year, whereby one credit corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of study work.
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool which enables students to collect credits for learning through higher education. ECTS credits are a learner-centered system which aims to increase transparency of learning outcomes and learning processes. It aims to facilitate planning, delivery, evaluation, recognition, and validation of qualifications and units of learning as well as student mobility. ECTS credits are widely used in formal higher education and can be applied to continuing education and other lifelong learning activities.
ECTS credits are allocated to entire qualifications or study programs as well as to their educational components (such as specialization modules, courses, dissertation work, company training, continuing education, work placements, and laboratory work). The number of credits ascribed to each component is based on its weight in terms of the workload students need in order to achieve the learning outcomes. ECTS credits may be accumulated with the purpose of gaining other educational qualifications.
If students have achieved learning outcomes inother learning contexts or timeframes (formal, non-formal or informal), the associated ECTS credits may be awarded after successful assessment, validation, or recognition of these learning outcomes. ECTS credits awarded in one program may be transferred into another program, offered by the same institution or by others.
The European Union is taking the steps for the future recognition of non-formal and independent learning. The Education Quality Accrediting Commission (EQAC) is advancing this policy by providing formal recognition through ECTS Credits Certificates for non-formal independent learning and training like the one that may be acquired at Bircham International University. ECTS credits course certificates facilitate academic credit recognition.
The Education Quality Accreditation Commission (EQAC) will issue a ECTS Credits Certificate stating the credit equivalency of any adult distance learning continuing education course completed at Bircham International University.

Ernst soars over 1,000 spots in world rankings
Philadelphia, PA – Derek Ernst beat David Lynn in a playoff Sunday to win the Well Fargo Championship for his first PGA Tour victory, and that helped Ernst soar over 1,000 spots into the top 125 in this week's world golf rankings.
Ernst climbed from No. 1,207 to No. 123 this week.
Tiger Woods remained the top-ranked player and was followed again by Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Luke Donald, Brandt Snedeker, Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell and Steve Stricker.
Phil Mickelson coughed up the lead on Sunday at Quail Hollow with a pair of late bogeys. With the third-place finish, he improved one spot in the world rankings to 10th, and that pushed Matt Kuchar, who will defend his Players Championship title this week, down one to 11th.
Lee Westwood was 12th again, while Ian Poulter jumped two places to 13th. That move bumped Keegan Bradley and Sergio Garcia down a notch apiece to 14 and 15.
Charl Schwartzel held steady in 16th and was followed again by Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson, Dustin Johnson and Jason Dufner.
Brett Rumford won his second straight European Tour event on Sunday, and that helped him climbed from No. 122 to No. 76 in the new rankings.

everyone has had lasagna at some point, it's one of the most frequently mentioned comfort foods. and for good reason, it has all the essentials, pasta, lots of cheese, and a creamy tomatoey sauce that longs to drip down your chin. it has always been very high on my personal list of favorites, and never takes as long to make as i remember from my youth.
this version is my mother's. it's simple, practical, and delicious. there is one ingredient missing from this version that i believe people will be confused by, but i assure you...it's wonderful.
1 box lasagna noodles
olive oil
3-4 cups tomato sauce (or one jar if using store-bought)
2 packages of shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1# ground beef
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
boil the noodles per the package instruction, but add a small amount of oil to the water, and liberally salt it. i don't normally add oil to pasta water, as it prevents the sauce from sticking to the noodles - but we don't want the noodles to stick to each other in the water, so it's helpful in this case. once these are boiled, strain and set aside.
meanwhile, brown the beef in a large pan over medium high heat, and then drain off any extra fat. add the tomato sauce to this, and turn the heat on low to let the flavors combine for a few minutes.
to make the beschemel: over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons of butter, and then add in 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking together until a thick paste forms. continue heating this for two minutes more (to remove the raw flour flavor) and then whisk in the milk. heat this for several minutes, whisking occasionally, until it thickens. add in a large handful of mozzarella, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the cheese is melted, then turn off the heat.
to assemble, layer the bottom of the pan with a thin coating of the tomato sauce, then a layer of noodles, a layer of tomato sauce, a layer of the beschemel, and then a layer of the mozzarella. repeat this layering process, but criss cross the noodle layers each time so that they are more "sturdy". on top of the mozzarella on the last layer, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese.
cook in the oven for about 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is bubbly and golden. let sit for a few minutes before cutting. enjoy!
i frequently make this with a layer of sauteed fresh spinach leaves in the center, which is delicious. i highly recommend you trying that if you give the recipe a go.
though this recipe doesn't include the standard ricotta cheese, i believe you'll find the beschemel sauce to be richer, creamier, and downright yummy.
this dish is great heated up the next day, in fact it's often better, so it makes for lovely lunch leftovers.

The World Cup is down to its final eight teams. "Normalcy" has been restored this Cup (there's no U.S., Turkey, South Korea, or Senegal), probably because the tournament is back in Europe. Six of the remaining eight are nations that have won the Cup before and that make the quarterfinals at pretty regularly — Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, France, and England. A seventh, Portugal, is clearly one of the world's best eight sides now. The final team, Ukraine, simply doesn't belong in this company, and faces long odds in tomorrow's match against Italy.
The other match tomorrow will feature Argentina and Germany. Based on what has happened so far, these two teams should probably be considered two of the top three in the tournament. To my suprise, Germany has actually played the best football of any team. When you couple this fact with its home-country advantage, the Germans must be favored.
Argentina isn't a great match-up for Germany, though. If the Germans have a weakness (or area of non-strength) it's probably the lumbering center-back tandem of Metzelder and Mertesacker. These two have done well against big forwards like Ibrahimovic of Sweden, but may be suspect against quality quick forwards, of which Argentina has several. Germany may counter by trying to stifle Riquelme, the superb play-maker who supplies the forwards. In Frings, Germany has a defensive midfielder who may be up to this task.
One way or the other, I like the Germans in this match, but they probably will have their hands full.

This tutorial is targeted primarily at application developers, computer/computational scientists, and graduate students interested in performance optimization issues and/or compilers for high-performance computing on general-purpose multicores and GPUs. Knowledge of C programming will be assumed; basic knowledge of processor architectures will be assumed; no prior parallel programming experience or familiarity with source-to-source transformations will be assumed.
|Brief Description
On-chip parallelism with multiple cores is now ubiquitous. Because of power and cooling constraints, recent performance improvements in both general-purpose and special-purpose processors have come primarily from increased on-chip parallelism rather than increased clock rates. Parallelism is therefore of considerable interest to a much broader group than developers of parallel applications for high-end supercomputers. Several programming environments have recently emerged in response to the need to develop applications for GPUs, and multi-core processors. There has been recent interest in two complementary approaches:
This tutorial will provide an introductory survey covering both these aspects.
- developing programming models that explicitly expose the programmer to parallelism; and
- compiler optimization and tuning frameworks to automatically transform sequential programs for parallel execution.

Hi Dr Dick, My boyfriend and I are having a long distance relationship. When living together, we used to have an intense sex life … so you can imagine how frustrated we feel now … I don't know when I'm going to visit him and how we're going to make it without having sex! Could you help us copping with the distance? Are there some techniques, sex toys, etc … we could use ? Of course I have a vibrator but it would be so much better if my boyfriend could participate in a way, and vice versa … I can't wait to get your advice!! Thanks!
Long-distance romances aren't fun! Never fall in love with anyone outside your zip code! That's what I always say. Of course, when it comes to matters of the heart, most good advice goes out the window. Thanks to the marvels of modern technology I may have the solution to your dilemma. Do you guys cam with one another? I hope so. If not the following advice will still be helpful; you'll just not have the juicy visuals.
You'll both need an iPod (or another music player) and you'll need one of these puppies: OhMiBod iPod Vibrator (C770). You'll find these right here in My Stockroom.
The OhMiBod iPod Vibrator is an exciting combination of modern musical and sexual technology. In today's hi-tech, fast paced world it only makes sense to fuse together two of the most popular forms of technological recreation, listening to music on your iPod and masturbating using a high-powered vibrator.
The OhMiBod iPod Vibrator is very easy to use.
- Simply plug the universal headphone connector into your iPod (or music player)
- Plug 1 end of the 3-foot cord into the headphone connector, and one end into the jack in the vibrator's silver end-cap.
- Turn on your iPod and use the volume control wheel to increase the intensity, rhythm, and vibe function. The vibration level, and the rhythm it moves to, is determined by the volume and style of the music.
The vibrator is 71⁄2 " long and has a 1″ diameter. The vibe, cord, and connector are all white, and the end-cap is silver. Smashing!
So here's what you do…and you can take turns doing this too. Find some music that you know for sure will get you off. Share that music with your BF. Have him load it into his iPod. Then set up a cam date. After you exchange pleasantries, you can get down to business. Insert your vibe into your pussy; your BF will insert his vibe into his ass. Go to the play list you put together and simultaneously start the music. Despite the distance between you, you'll have all the same sensations. Before you know it, you both will be haven' screamin' memes. How fun is that?
And when you guys aren't camming, you'll find the OhMiBod iPod Vibrator comes with an extra silver end-cap that can be used without the music player. Imagine what a swell holiday gift idea this will be for all you far-flung lovers.

What are some of the newer procedures available for peyronies??
For those not in the know, Peyronie's disease causes a guys dick to bend or curve dramatically when he gets a hardon. A hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) develops under the skin on one side of his dick. When he gets hard, the scar tissue pulls the affected area off at an angle, causing the curve or disfigurement. Sometimes things can get so bad that the pain makes fucking practically impossible.
There are several "therapies" out there; none of which is supported by any hard data as to its effectiveness. So caveat emptor, which is Latin for "Let the buyer beware"!
There are both internal and some external therapies. There is a very expensive enzymes therapy that is taken in pill form. Allegedly the enzymes help break up the scar tissue. It's a very slow process, if it works at all and it requires a prolonged and consistent treatment. Cha ching!
Some doctors will inject drugs, like calcium channel blockers or interferon, directly into the plaque in a guy's dick. These drugs are said to break down scar tissue deposits and return the tissue-building process to normal. This therapy calls for multiple injections over a period of months. And the success of this treatment varies considerably. Cha ching!
There are Penile Traction Devices too. These create a gentle continuous tension on a guy's unit. The claim is that the stretching opens up spaces between penile cells, and triggers growth and healing, thus resolving the issue. This is dubious at best.
Here are a couple of resources for you: The Peyronie's Disease Society and The Peyronie's Disease Institute.

if a male was to get a sex change would a vagina be able to be made to make the operation complete, and if so would having a baby be possible
Yep, a post-surgical Male to Female transexual will have had a "functional" vagina fashioned from the cock "she" once had.
Nope, it takes a lot more than a brand spankin' new whoha to make babies, darlin'. A post-surgical Male to Female transexual may have a pussy, but she doesn't have a womb…so no babies.

You sound like you're more bored with, than disinterested in, sex. If you were disinterested in sex, you wouldn't enjoy it when you actually got around to having some.
Sounds like your sex life needs a little sprucin' up…and who's doesn't? I want you to mozie on over to my online sex emporium — My Stockroom — and pick out something really fun and smutty for you and your old man. Don't let another day go by without at least trying to get back on track!
I have a dazzling array of products that will liven up even the most ho-hum sex life. Not sure what to buy? Not to worry! Take a look at my monthly ever so popular, Sex Toy Awareness feature right here on drdicksexadvice.com. It's chock-full of swell gift giving ideas.

Hi im 23 years old and i belive my packege isnt enough for the girl im dating and probably any. My dick is 6 inches nothing more nothing less but is this normal or i need help?
You're worrying way too much about your package, darlin'. Your 6" is adequate for getting the job done, especially if you know how to use what you have. Women are generally less concerned about the size of the meat as they are about the quality of the motion.
So yeah, you're normal, but you may also need some help. I'd suggest you check in with your GF and find out how you're doin' in the love makin' department. I'd be willing to guess that she may have a few pointers for you on how better to use what you got. But you'll have to ask her nicely.
Young pups, like you, rarely know their way around a fine pussy. Hell, most women don't know their way around their own fine pussy. Young pups, like you, may also be unaware of all the sexual positions that would best utilize a modest johnson. If this sounds like you, I'd say you have some homework to do.

i love my cousin sister a lot, i am enjoying sex with her, is that wrong?
I actually had to look up "cousin sister" on the internet. While I came up with some conflicting information, one thing seems clear, the term "cousin sister" connotes a close biological tie — a first cousin, perhaps. Is that what you're talking about?
If so, most cultures, even yours, frown upon incest. There are plenty of good reasons for this; not least of all is a genetic concern (inbreeding). But often the most devastating aspect of incest is the secrecy. No one violates this universal taboo in the open. I'll bet this is the case with you too, huh? The secrecy and the inevitable shame and guilt can destroy you family dynamic.
I suspect you may already be aware of this. Why else would you be asking me if it was wrong?

why does my condom always break? am i too big 4 normal condoms? my size is 7.5 inc long n 6.5 inc girth………am i thrusting too hard?/// n is it possible 4a girl too deepthroat it all?
Maybe you need a bigger sized condom, darling. You know there are different sizes, right? Shop online for extra large condoms. Most online retailers will offer a variety pack of the big boys. This way you'll be able to choose the right condom for you without buying a box full of just one kind from the get-go.
Depending on the "girl" I'd say, you betcha deep-throating 7.5 wouldn't be a problem. However, finding that particular woman might be your biggest challenge. You may have to turn to a "pro" for that kind of service.

My gf used to give me blowjobs quite a bit but all of a sudden she stopped and kept telling me she can't stand doing them. She has always said she didn't like them but that she did them cause I liked them so much. Why the hell would she stop now?
I guess she's trying to tell you she doesn't like you as much as she once did.
Here's a tip: most chicks dole out the hummers as a reward for being the best little boy in the world. If she's cut you off, so to speak, perhaps you've done something to piss her off. I'd look into that, if I were you.
Good luck ya'll

The wishes of residents in Yilan County, Keeling City and New Taipei City (新北市) — among which a merger has been proposed — should be respected and they should be able to approve or disagree on the plans through a referendum, Yilan County Commissioner Lin Tsung-hsien (林聰賢) said.
Lin made the remarks in response to a proposal which has been suggested following research carried out by the Executive Yuan on the issue of rearranging national land and administrative regions, in which Yilan County and Keelung City would be merged into the administrative region of New Taipei City.
Taiwan is small enough and the merger is unnecessary, Lin said, adding that he "personally disagrees with such a policy."
According to Lin, competition between cities can be managed without mergers, pointing to the Japanese government's various administrative districts — namely the division of the country into one capital, one Do — or circuit (道), two urban prefectures and 43 other prefectures — as a possible reference.
Only by preserving the unique local and cultural characteristics of several areas can national development become multi-polar, Lin said.
Grave problems will arise if the county government has little to no say in the merger plans, while the diverse stratification of Taiwanese society complicates the issue even further, Lin said, adding that the "division of administrative areas isn't simply about who's merging with who."
The merger should be based on careful polling of the opinions of residents to better understand their views on the matter, Lin said.
Objective academic research into the proposed merger is also needed in order that the county government can speak for its people, Lin said, adding that the county government would commission Fo Guang University to conduct polls and related research on the matter.
Meetings that provide residents with a platform for their opinions should also be arranged, Lin said, adding that the research should be completed by the end of the year.
While some have said that the merger may be politically motivated — Yilan County is a key Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) stronghold — Lin, a DPP member, said he would refrain from thinking in that way.
"I believe the central government is planning the move from the perspective of resource allocation and seeing to the needs of national infrastructure," Lin said.
However, looking at the issue from the angle of balanced regional development, there is actually no need for the proposed merger, he added.
Tseng Kuei-jen (曾奎人), a taxi driver in Yilan, said the county has very unique customs and natural scenery, adding that he has taken many Singaporean and Hong Kong tourists around the area and they all remarked that Yilan was very pretty and welcoming.
Noting that the tourists had all commented on how different the region is from Taipei, Tseng said that should the county be merged into New Taipei City then "Yilan would no longer have autonomy and would thus lose what had made it unique."
Chen Wei-chih (陳威志), a pharmacist, said there would be no glory for Yilan once it becomes part of the Tian Long Guo (天龍國), a term denoting wealth and lack of knowledge about the woes of real life. The derogatory term originates from the popular Japanese One Piece (海賊王) comic book series in which a group of people, called Tian Long, are given special rights and do not know the difficulties of life outside their particular area.
Chen added that its smaller population would mean that it would lose elections, which would direct the focus of development to New Taipei City and not Yilan.
"It would be impossible for the city government to actually take care of Yilan and its residents, and we would have less power and our incomes would certainly not increase," he said.
Yang Yi-lin (楊憶林), a white-collar worker, said there is a drastic difference between the simple personalities of Yilan's residents and that of the metropolitan areas, adding that it would be terrible to contemplate what she would say when people asked her where she came from should the proposed merger go ahead.

For the past few months I've been working on my first gig in the gaming industry! Just working with a small crew here in Melbourne. It's been pretty damn fun and I've been learning a tonne of new stuff about the inner workings on what goes into making a game.
We're currently in production of our first iOS game which should be out in the coming months. In the meantime as a weekly challenge I've been competing in the "Preposterous Poster Challenge" where I take the wackiest ideas floating around the office, from some pretty creative people, and make it into a mock game poster in a few hours. It's a great way to end the week and keeps my illustration itches scratched. There's a nice gallery going on our Facebook page if you want to check them out. I might post a few of them here in the future too
You can check out our game progress along with the preposterous posters at Mighty Games Group: www.facebook.com/mightygamesgr…
Should be posting some new pieces sometime soon!

Wow. Now that was helpful. I feel better already. Because, of course everyone around here--the local crazy right wings, the local crazy left wings, the rock throwers, the suicide bombers, the rioters....yes EVERYONE--has been just sitting around and waiting for Obama's instructions. "How will President Obama instruct us? What great wisdom will he impart?"
And now he has issued instructions! Start negotiations! Yes indeed. Clearly, peace is now just around the corner.
(Is it just me, or does his great wisdom 'stop talking and get this moving' sound suspiciously like Bush's great wisdom on this particular topic?)
If you will excuse me, I am going to go bang my head on my keyboard for a little while. And stock up on canned goods and a few lead vests.

The Hebrew newspapers describe it as a grownup reprimanding the two naughty boys to stop fighting. I never expected that much from Obama, but can you say cliche?

Agh. My mind frazzles every time I try to think about this topic. So you know what - I tend to avoid it. That's rubbish, right? Am I ashamed of myself for being such an ostrich - me, who thinks history is one of the most important things we can all learn from? Course I am. I just don't know where to go with it all. Blech.
Now, grow up the lot of you, put your toys back in their cupboards and play nice.

FOA TORRES, Jorge. Forma jurídica burguesa y crisis ecológica: una aproximación marxista al derecho ambiental. Revista SAAP [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.1. ISSN 1853-1970.
This paper seeks to develop a particular view of the legal phenomenon likely to include a social structural analysis in relation with the "environmental crisis" of global reach, understood as the expression of the breakthrough expropriation of the capitalist mode of production, the development of a particular view of the legal phenomenon likely to include a social structural analysis. In this context, presents a perspective capable of accounting for the place of law in the social whole, in order to avoid approaches that tend to consider social as ultimately determined by their normative propositions. In this sense, against the conception that is the legal regulation of the relationship between owner-thing as the key to limiting the economic development towards environmental protection, the structural relationship between private property rights and property type is proposed as a central issue when addressing the reproduction of the production media.

2013 Taste of Country Music Festival Lineup Profile: Lady Antebellum
Lady Antebellum is one of the scheduled headliners at the first-ever Taste of Country Music Festival at Hunter Mountain in New York this June. The June 13-15 country music celebration features over a dozen of the biggest names from Nashville at a scenic venue just two hours from New York City. When they take the stage, Lady A will be bringing new music and their catalog of hits.
In January, the trio released 'Downtown,' a funky new single from their upcoming fourth studio album. Each of the previous three albums have gone Platinum or multi-Platinum for one million in sales. 'Need You Now' was named the Best Country Album at the Grammy Awards in 2011. It featured the crossover title track and chart-topping hits in 'American Honey' and 'Our Kind of Love.'
Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood became headliners just two years after releasing their eponymous debut album in 2008. They'll arrive at the Taste of County Music Festival as proven road warriors, capable of filling stadiums and amphitheaters on their own without a second thought. In 2012, Lady Antebellum toured with Darius Rucker and Thompson Square. 2013 will be a shortened touring year, with the 2013 ToC Music Festival date the last on their calendar before Scott takes time off to deliver her baby this summer.

Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing
bilirubin levels that cause
jaundice in a newborn.
In the standard
form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib
(incubator) and is exposed to a special light that is absorbed by
your baby's skin. During this process, the bilirubin in the baby's body is
changed into another form that can be more easily excreted in the stool and
A baby with jaundice may need to stay under a phototherapy
light for several days. Phototherapy doesn't damage a baby's
During this type of phototherapy:
Potential problems that may occur during this standard form
of phototherapy include:
Another type of phototherapy is a fiber-optic blanket or a
band. These devices wrap around a baby and can be used at home. Although
fiber-optic phototherapy has been shown to reduce bilirubin levels, it takes
longer than conventional phototherapy done in a hospital setting. It can be a
good alternative for babies with mild jaundice who are otherwise
If your baby is being treated
at home for jaundice, it is important that you understand how to use all the
equipment. Ask your health professional for help if you have questions or
concerns. A home health nurse may visit to make sure all is going well. The
amount of bilirubin in your baby's blood may need to be measured daily.

On behalf of the "drunk sorority girl"
Resulting from the new student seating policy (which I am personally a big fan of), the general sentiment of disdain towards the "drunk sorority girl," who seems to personify every student not in his or her seat by 11:59 AM has come more into light. So for that, I'll take their side.
First off, I'm a student who gets to every game early and is generally "that guy" at 11:20 trying to round the troops away from "just one more game" of flip cup. Nevertheless, these people should not be shat on for the following reasons:
1) Global reach: Everyone on here likes to talk about how sweet of a university this is and how we're so academically superior to OSU and Sparty. While sort of arrogant, everyone is dead on. UM is way better. We get far more students from all over the country / world, and this has become even moreso in recent years. For multiple reasons, Michigan has far far more out of state / country people that didn't grow up in Grand Rapids with Ford / Schembechler posters over their beds, relative to the previous eras of Michigan football that so many on here reminisce about. For the university and our diplomas / egos, this isn't exactly a bad thing.
Conclusion: More national / international university with flourishing world class grad programs = less kids that care as much as the rest of us. Just be grateful that most of them still go, we still have 20k students at most games, and don't whine that we only have 109k instead of 112k at kick off. It could be worse. SEE: Wisconsin day games.
2) Richrod / Late Carr (??) Effect: Let's face it, 2007-2012 has been a relatively dark era for Michigan football. My first games were in 2010, and something about having the only entertaining games being shootouts against Illinois and UMass doesnt breed the immense school pride that will pull people away from that last game of flip cup to see them touch the banner. Couple that with the more geographically diverse student body, and you have less people showing up for noon kickoffs, especially against Directional Michigan and Purdue.
Conclusion: Non-elite teams and unexciting games, coupled with #1 = less kids that care as much as the rest of us. Again, just be grateful that most of them still go, we still have 20k students at most games, and don't whine that we only have 109k instead of 112k at kick off.

Ex-headmaster's staff say problems were known
Rodney Peterson, the Boston school headmaster allowed to keep his job after he assaulted his wife, was chronically absent from work and struggled with personal bankruptcy for much of his career here, raising questions among his former staff about why Superintendent Carol R. Johnson spoke highly of him as recently as last month.
Johnson, who has apologized for not placing Peterson on administrative leave after his assault arrest in June 2011, repeatedly championed Peterson during his three-year tenure in Boston, creating a $126,000 a year job for him in 2011, describing him as "among our most outstanding school leaders" in a letter to the judge who sentenced him last August, and recently giving him a reference for a new job in Memphis.
Now, Johnson has launched an investigation into whether Peterson abused the School Department's sick time policy while in Boston. A Globe review of payroll records showed that he had missed more than 20 percent of the last school year at the O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science and he may have been marked present other days when he was not. Peterson was reported at work even on the day he was arraigned on domestic violence charges and then sent back to jail.
"It's not clear to me how a school leader could be absent that amount of time," Johnson said in an interview, saying that she had no idea about the attendance problem until June. "It's simply not acceptable, and it's simply not acceptable I was not aware of it."
But many teachers and staff at the O'Bryant, one of Boston's exam schools, said Peterson's persistent absenteeism was well known, estimating that he was away from the school half the time and rarely took part in basic functions such as making announcements over the public address system or greeting students as they arrived each morning. Teachers said he alternately claimed he was sick or a relative was sick or he was working from home.
"It was a running joke at the school," said one teacher, who asked not to be named out of fear of retaliation. "He was never present. Everyone would shrug their shoulders . . . You'd hear in the main office that they tried to get in touch with him'' and he would not "return calls or e-mails."
Teachers who worked with Peterson at the now-closed Odyssey School in South Boston said he was frequently absent there, too, though the official payroll record compiled by a subordinate showed he was out only 13 days for medical or personal reasons in two years as headmaster.
Peterson, who resigned in June to take a job in Memphis, also had a troubling financial background for a public official overseeing a budget of more than $7 million. Peterson filed for bankruptcy in 2007 after accumulating $180,000 in debt — and reporting only $80 in his checking account — forcing him to surrender his 2002 Mercedes S430 and to permit the court to take money directly from his school paycheck to pay his debts.
Johnson said she did not know Peterson was in bankruptcy, noting the School Department does not check for bankruptcy filings when probing the background of new employees.
However, she said she plans to explore adding such a search for employees who have financial oversight.
Even now, Johnson defended her decision to hire him in 2009 in a last-ditch attempt to turn around the academically struggling Odyssey High School and two years later to make him co-headmaster at the O'Bryant in Roxbury.
"I am deeply troubled and upset with [Peterson] about his behavior through this whole thing, but it was not that he was incompetent," said Johnson, noting that Peterson has a doctorate, which exceeds the requirements for a headmaster.
And Johnson bristled at the suggestion by some that she hired Peterson in part due to the influence of her assistant chief academic officer at the time, Shonda Huery, who was dating him.
Both Peterson and Huery had worked in Memphis, where Huery began her career as an intern to Johnson, who was Memphis's superintendent from 2003 to 2007.
Johnson confirmed that Huery recommended Peterson, but said she did not know the two were romantically involved until much later.
She also said she did not know Peterson personally during the years they both worked in Memphis.
"His hiring was based on his experience and credentials," Johnson said.
But Johnson's critics said they are alarmed the superintendent did not know more about the track record of one of her exam school headmasters, especially since she was praising his skills.
"There is something seriously wrong with the leadership of the school system when no one knows whether or not a principal is showing up for work," said John Connolly, chairman of the City Council's education subcommittee, who has called for Johnson's ouster.
"We have a broken culture'' at School Department headquarters, "that fails to recognize principals for their successes or hold principals accountable who aren't getting the job done," Connolly said.
The Rev. Gregory Groover, chairman of the Boston School Committee, said he too was shocked by Peterson's high absenteeism, but he expressed optimism that Johnson was taking appropriate actions.
"I think the superintendent is doing the right thing in conducting the investigation and reviewing our policies and procedures so this type of incident will not repeat itself." said Groover.
Peterson did not return several calls seeking comment on his Boston career.
One thing is clear, however: Peterson got a career break when Johnson hired him to run the tiny Odyssey School, his first headmaster job.
Two years earlier, when he filed for bankruptcy, Peterson was making less than $50,000 a year as an "instructional facilitator" in Memphis. At Odyssey, he made more than $100,000 annually.
Peterson's life was looking up in other ways, too. After the relationship with Huery ended, he married another woman in 2010, Memphis TV anchor Dee Griffin, and she became pregnant with their first child.
And when Odyssey closed in 2011, Johnson was impressed enough to promote him to a newly created second headmaster's position at O'Bryant, boosting Peterson's pay to $126,000 a year.
But even before Peterson could start his new job, he was arrested for allegedly punching and choking Griffin weeks after she had given birth to their son. In August, Peterson admitted to sufficient facts for a guilty plea and was sentenced to a year's probation and ordered to attend a batterer's program. At the hearing, Peterson's lawyer gave the judge Johnson's letter describing him as a rising star who "worked tirelessly to develop relationships with students, staff, and families."
A few months later, records showed, Peterson began to miss work, racking up 42 official sick days and three personal days, including a monthlong stretch in the winter where he took sick days every day except for the paid February vacation week. Even on the day he resigned from school, June 8, Peterson took a sick day.
Teachers heard that Peterson's son in Memphis was sick, and he even thanked them at one staff meeting for being "prayer warriors."
But they questioned whether illnesses were the only cause of the absences, noting that Peterson was absent on many more days than the 20 percent reflected in the official record. School officials confirmed reports that Peterson did not sign the daily attendance sheet used for calculating payroll, making his official record suspect.
During the school year, Peterson began looking for another job, applying for a middle school principal's position in Memphis that was publicly posted in March. With a favorable recommendation from Johnson, Peterson was officially offered the position on April 20.
Boston school officials now said that Peterson may have violated school attendance policies, which require a headmaster to file for family leave if a medical condition requires being out for more than five days.
Johnson notifed Peterson of the investigation into his payroll records last week, asking him to submit any documents to verify a medical condition. She also warned him that the School Department may seek reimbursements from him for any "overpayment and/or misuse of sick time," according to a copy of the July 24 letter.
Johnson said the investigation could lead to changes in how headmasters are overseen. She noted that the department sends monthly reports to headmasters and principals alerting them of any employee with high absences, but that the department does not produce any such reports on the attendance of headmasters.
"We are reviewing every possible process in place," said Johnson. "Most of our principals take time seriously and are in their buildings, and we are sensitive to pull them out even for professional development."

Bucks drop rebound-less Warriors
Milwaukee --
There were a number of intriguing story lines during the Warriors' 109-102 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday night at the Bradley Center, but head coach Mark Jackson was interested in talking about only one thing.
"We've got to get back to who we are," Jackson said. "We're not rebounding at the same level, and it's hurting us. It's costing us ballgames, and we've got to find a way to get it back."
The Warriors got outrebounded 58-50 by the Bucks and outscored 27-13 on second-chance points just one night after Chicago won the battle of the boards 56-37 and scored 30 second-chance points.
"When you allow a team to dominate you on the boards and get second-chance points, it sucks the life out of your defense," Jackson said. "If we rebound the ball and make a couple of plays, it's a different story."
So Jackson didn't walk to talk about the emotions of the Warriors' first game in Milwaukee since Monta Ellis was shipped here in a five-player deal just before last season's trade deadline.
He wasn't interested in comparing the teams' dynamic backcourts, which provided huge swings in the game.
Stephen Curry had 20 of his 26 points in the first half to go along with seven assists, and Klay Thompson added 19 points for the Warriors. The Bucks' Brandon Jennings had 18 of his 20 points in the third quarter to go along with six rebounds and seven assists, and Ellis had 20 points, including one of the game's biggest buckets.
Jackson wasn't even interested in talking about the Warriors' comeback attempt. They outscored the Bucks in three of the four quarters, but got beat 35-19 in the third.
Milwaukee used the third quarter to build its lead to as many as 13 points and still held a 94-82 edge with 7:08 remaining in the fourth quarter. Jarrett Jack's three-pointer with 52.9 seconds left, however, trimmed the deficit to 100-98.
As he had done so many times for Golden State, Ellis calmly milked the clock and then stepped back to bury a three-pointer with 32.7 seconds left that gave Milwaukee a 103-98 lead. He then shot a steely look at the Warriors' bench.
Jackson was asked about the play three different ways during his postgame news conference. His answer was the same each time: "Good defense." "Good defense." "Good defense."
The Bucks (23-19) moved to 7-3 since Jim Boylan took over for coach Scott Skiles on Jan. 8. They got 18 points and 12 rebounds from Ersan Ilyasova and 16 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots from Larry Sanders.
Sanders extended his streak with at least one blocked shot to 29 games, tying San Antonio's Tim Duncan for the league's longest active streak. It's the longest stretch by a Bucks player since Andrew Bogut had a 39-game run during the 2009-10 season.
The Warriors (26-17), who have lost seven of their past 11 games, got only 12 points on 6-of-18 shooting from David Lee. Jack had 13 points and 10 assists off the bench, and Carl Landry added 13 points and 14 rebounds for Golden State, which is two games into a stretch during which it plays eight of 10 on the road.
Of course, Jackson seems dead set on focusing on one area from now until Monday's game at Toronto.
"It takes so much out of you when you've got to defend 48 seconds instead of 24 seconds," he said. "Too many second-chance points. It really hurt us and cost us the ballgame."

Anthem Blue Cross may be breaking California law by requiring some policyholders to buy their prescription drugs from a single mail-order pharmacy, according to the state attorney general's office.
Anthem, the state's largest for-profit health insurer, had notified members with conditions such as HIV/AIDS and cancer that they will have to buy their medications from the mail-order pharmacy CuraScript or pay full price at a retail drugstore.
Other Anthem members, including those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, face no such requirement.
"California law clearly states that no one can be discriminated against because of a medical condition," said Lynda Gledhill, a spokeswoman for Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris. "If patients are being required to get their prescriptions from a certain pharmacy because of their condition, that is likely illegal."
She declined to comment on specific measures officials may take if Anthem proceeds with its policy switch, but stressed that the attorney general's office "treats very seriously cases involving restricting access to care."
