As much as Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney would like to take on rookie left tackle Jared Veldheer one-on-one, he's not counting on it.
"Normally what happens when I go against a rookie is there are two other guys with him," Freeney told Bay Area reporters by conference call Wednesday. "I'm sure they're going to scheme and not just leave him by himself. That wouldn't be too smart."
With eight sacks and two games to play, Freeney is two shy of his seventh season with double-digit sacks. He has five forced fumbles, giving him 41 for his career.
Freeney and left end Robert Mathis, who has three 10-plus sack seasons, form the NFL's best outside pass rushing duo. The Raiders will counter with Veldheer at left tackle, either Langston Walker or Mario Henderson at right tackle, and plenty of help from extra lineman Khalif Barnes, tight end Zach Miller and chipping from running backs and fullback Marcel Reece.
Veldheer got this dose of faint praise from Freeney: "He's done a decent job. He hasn't done an overly great job, he's hung in there."
Even against veteran left tackles, Freeney estimates he gets two or three plays per game with single blocking other than three-step drops where the ball is out quickly. Otherwise, it's a guard and tackle, a tight end and tackle or running back and tackle _ and often on both sides.
The best way to deal with Freeney and Mathis is to simply be effective running the ball, and the Colts' veteran has a healthy respect for Oakland's running game.
"They do a lot of different things, a lot of reverses, use their speed to their advantage," Freeney said. "You can't book 'em for just one thing."
Listening to Freeney discuss the Colts' 29th-ranked run defense is similar to the way Tommy Kelly describes Oakland's issues with "stop, stop . . boom."
"Sometimes people look at the stats and say, Oh, Colts are 29th in the NFL against the run, so they're horrible against the run, and that may not be the whole truth," Freeney said. "Normally the average is high for us because of one run. It's not like every run is eight yards a pop. It will be one run, 80 yards, with one or two guys out of their gap, which will skew the whole stats."
Indianapolis is coming off a 34-24 win over Jacksonville which gave the Colts control of their own destiny as far as the AFC South race, holding Maurice Jones Drew and the Jaguars to 67 rushing yards in the process.
"What we did the last game was make sure 11 guys play together, not just once in awhile," Freeney said, adding that Oakland's big-play ability is a concern.
"Obviously they have home run ability, and it's going to be very important that we wrap up and two or three guys get around that ballcarrier," Freeney said. "We can't just rely on one guy making the tackle because they'er very good at making guys miss."

Hey all, I thought I'd post some of my audio recordings I've done over the years of tunes that Chet & Jerry never recorded together but would have liked to hear them play. Making videos of these is a bit tricky in some cases so thought instead of doing that for now I thought I'd post my audio for you guys to listen to. There's quite a few so bear with me lol. Some go back a bit so could probably be mixed better now I'm more used to it but you'll get the idea. Hope you enjoy listening to them
Some of my arrangements in the style of Chet & Jerry
A place to share your music! Post and view audio links.

Of all the celebrities you could search for on the web, Cameron Diaz is the most likely to give your computer something itchy. That's according to McAfee, who may just be getting back at her for Knight and Day.
Apparently a "Cameron Diaz" search has a one-in-ten chance of landing on a site with malware. Last year's "winner," Jessica Biel, got bumped down to third. Searches for screensavers of both celebs but came with a nearly 20% chance of infection. Rounding out the top 10:
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were the only men in the upper crusty, with Justin Bieber finishing a disappointing 46th and Barack Obama/Sarah Palin bringing up the rear at #49 and #50, respectively.
So be safe out there, celeb gossip hounds. And next time, maybe stick with the preteens and wonks. [McAfee via SFGate]

Jacques Pepin: Fast Food My Way
Designed to appeal to accomplished chefs and amateurs alike. With his signature charm, Pepin presents quick, easy and delicious recipes for today's busy lifestyle. Each episode features tasty, organically grown food that is both healthy and convenient to prepare. Jacques teaches viewers the best of everyday cooking, with dishes that translate from simple dinners to menus for entertaining.
Jacques Pepin: Fast Food My Way Previous Broadcasts
Comfort Kitchen (Episode #109)
KQED Life: Wed, Aug 31, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques has gone foraging for mushrooms since childhood, but in Mushroom Veloute with Almonds, Instant Beef Tenderloin Stew, and Mushroom and Raisin Chutney he uses older, store-bought, white button mushrooms with great results. He also creates a starter of Red Beets in Sour Cream and a finish of Apple, Pecan, and Apricot Crumble in no time.
Earthly Delights (Episode #108)
KQED Life: Mon, Aug 29, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques was born hungry so many of his first courses are easily adapted to main courses. Baby Mozzarella Salad, Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms and Truffles, Sauteed Quail with Raita, and Cubed Potatoes with Garlic and Sage are all easily adjusted to fit different appetites. Jacques' good friend, Jean-Claude Szurdak, stops by and offers to prepare Pears in Honeyed Wine as a welcome dessert.
Quick Cuisine (Episode #107)
KQED Life: Fri, Aug 26, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques believes culinary inspiration can come from an infinite number of sources. French classics inspire his Codfish Brandade and Chicken Breasts with Garlic and Parsley. He uses peas to add sweetness to Brococoli Rabe and Pea Fricassee. Brownies take on a new look in a Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Cake and a hot day and a ripe pineapple inspired a Pineapple Frosty.
Apple A Day (Episode #106)
KQED Life: Wed, Aug 24, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
After a busy day, dinner shouldn't be another challenge. Jacques shares the Shrimp Burger he discovered at Dr. Taco in Playa del Carmen and a great improvisational Bean Puree with Anchovies or Smoked Oysters. With the appetite under control, there is time to work on Wonton Cannelloni in Tomato Sauce, Parsley and Pumpkin Seed Salad, and Caramelized Apple Granola Timbales.
Dessert "Pick Me Up" (Episode #105)
KQED Life: Mon, Aug 22, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
After more than fifty years in the kitchen, Jacques still finds new ways to cook a chicken. For Chicken Breasts on Mashed Cauliflower with Red Salsa, the cooking method is classic, but the combination of flavors is fresh. It's a perfect winter dish paired with Smoked Trout Salad with Horseradish Cream and finished off with Pineapple Slices in Kirsch with Sherbet or Mock Tiramisu.
Cooking Under Pressure (Episode #104)
KQED Life: Fri, Aug 19, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques, having grown up in France during the war, hates waste! The cooking liquid, juices and bodies of lobsters used in Lobster Salad with Tarragon can be used for Lobster Bisque. Servings of Pressure-Cooker Lamb and White Bean Stew can be extended by serving with Couscous or starting with an Asian Eggplant Salad. Jacques also makes a cost-conscious ricotta and graham cracker dessert, Ricotta Honey Mix.
Soup's On (Episode #103)
KQED Life: Wed, Aug 17, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
At the end of a long day, a large bowl of an earthy soup or stew like Corn and Hominy Chowder or Red Snapper with Mussels and Chorizo can be the perfect meal. In addition, Jacques prepares a quick Cheese Crostini and a Banana Bourbon Coupe, a special ending to any meal.
Hurray! Cassoulet (Episode #102)
KQED Life: Mon, Aug 15, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques takes the traditional long-cooked cassoulet of southwestern France and turns it into a Thirty-minute Cassoulet that can be made for family or company on a weeknight. It's a meal in itself, but even better with the addition of Avocado Halves in Red Sauce, Smoked Salmon Timbales, or a Zucchini and Tomato Salad. A refreshing dessert of Oranges and Cream Cheese make the perfect meal.
Buffet's The Way (Episode #101)
KQED Life: Fri, Aug 12, 2011 -- 5:30 PM
Jacques prepares a beautiful room temperature buffet in which all of the dishes can be prepared ahead. A menu of Pico de Gallo, Asparagus with Croutons and Chorizo, Melon and Prosciutto, Oven-Baked Salmon with Sun-Dried Tomato and Salsa Mayonnaise, Sweet Cheese Medley, and a gorgeous, layered Almond Cake with Berries is ideal for any celebratory gathering of family and friends.

June 3, 2008
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Rick McLaughlin, formerly the men's volleyball coach at Loyola Marymount, an assistant women's coach at UC Santa Barbara, and most recently the women's coach at Golden West College, has been named head men's coach at UCSB, Athletics Director Gary Cunningham announced Tuesday. McLaughlin will replace Ken Preston, who retired in 2008 after 30 years at the helm of the program.
"I am elated that Rick McLaughlin is joining our staff," Cunningham said. "He comes to us with a wealth of experience, and I believe that he is the right person to help Gaucho volleyball continue a long tradition of success."
"I am very excited to be back in Santa Barbara, and back doing what I want to do, which is coach Division I men's volleyball," expressed McLaughlin. "I am really lucky to take over a program that has been run so well for so long. When I started coaching at 23, Ken (Preston) helped me a great deal and I have always looked up to him. He is a real class act. This should be a very easy transition, and one that I am looking forward to."
McLaughlin guided the LMU program for eight years beginning in 1993, and ending in 2000 when the school dropped the program. He was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year in 1998 and 2000. Following the 2000 season, he was also selected ASICS/Volleyball Magazine National Coach of the Year after guiding the Lions to the semifinals of the MPSF Tournament, a first for the program. That season, McLaughlin's squad recorded wins over traditional powers UCLA, Penn State, and Long Beach State.
After leaving LMU, McLaughlin was the men's volleyball coach and a physical education instructor at Santa Monica College in 2000-01.
In the fall of 2001, he joined the staff of his brother Jim - a UCSB alumnus - to help rebuild the women's programs at Washington. In his one season, he helped direct the Huskies to their highest victory total in five years.
Following his season in Seattle, McLaughlin returned to Southern California, rejoining Marv Dunphy's men's staff at Pepperdine. He began his collegiate coaching career under Dunphy, coaching the 1991 and 1992 seasons and helping the Waves to the 1992 NCAA Championship. McLaughlin's second stint in Malibu (2002-05) resulted in three Final Four appearances and the 2005 National Championship.
Beginning in the spring of 2005, he spent one year as an assistant on Kathy Gregory's UCSB staff, a year in which the Gauchos went 21-9 overall and 12-2 in the Big West, sharing the league title and advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
In 2006, McLaughlin became head women's coach at Golden West College, where two successful years culminated this past season when he guided the program to the state title game, which the Rustlers lost to El Camino College. His two-year record at Golden West was 36-9.
As a player, McLaughlin was a four-year starting setter at Loyola Marymount. When he completed his career, he ranked among the Lions' top-10 in career assists (1,691) and service aces (58). At LMU, McLaughlin earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. In 1999, he completed his master's degree in education at Azusa Pacific.
McLaughlin will officially begin his new position on July 1, 2008.

Pregnant women have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.footnote 1
The three main risk factors (things that increase risk) for
deep vein thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism are abnormal clotting, reduced
blood flow, and damage to the veins. These risks are all higher during
pregnancy, most likely because of:
Women who are obese, are older than 35, or have a family or
personal history of blood clots have a higher risk of developing a clot that
can lead to pulmonary embolism.
After delivery, the risk for blood clots is higher than during pregnancy. This risk usually returns to
normal after a few weeks after delivery.footnote 2
If a woman has a cesarean section, she is even
more likely to develop one or more of these clots.
Women with the following
history may be screened for genetic factors that can increase the risk of
forming blood clots:
For pregnant women who are more likely to develop blood
clots, several methods may be used to prevent deep vein thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism. These include:
A pregnant woman who is diagnosed with deep vein
thrombosis or pulmonary embolism will work with her doctor to decide which anticoagulant medicine to take during pregnancy. She may take heparin, because it has not been shown to affect
the fetus.
After delivery, the woman might take another anticoagulant for a few weeks or a few months.

You've got no idea how time-consuming suffering from crippling anxiety is. All the space that I used to occupy is now occupied by anxiety. There is no room for anything else. That is all there is left of me. All I can do is perform tasks to a very basic level and respond by turning my head when someone says my name. But my eyes are glassy. There's very little left of the person at home.
There is a TS Eliot poem, most of which I don't understand, (I don't understand any poetry, let alone anything by TS Eliot), that says something along the lines of this is me and I am here and everything else is not everything else, rather it is simply everything that is NOT me. Well right now everything in the whole world is only a thing in relation to my anxiety.
I went to see the doctor. My husband politely suggested it might be a good idea. I went with one sole aim: to not cry in his office. I had a shower and washed my hair. I put on non-mad clothes. I put plasters on my fingers where I had been attacking my cuticles and they were sore and bleeding. I put blusher on to hide the fact that I hadn't eaten or slept much recently.
But I cried anyway. Because you do. When you're anxious or depressed and you go to the doctor to ask for a referral to get your head examined (again) you cry. It's just the rules.
This is a long way of saying that I haven't been cooking much. When you suffer from chronic anxiety you tend not to be that interested in food. I've never been that bothered about food, just generally, in life, that's why I never learnt to cook until I had to feed a family. Left to my own devices I would (and have) live off McDonalds and pre-prepared macaroni cheese.
But once my anxiety (trembling hands, multiple night-wakings, constricted throat, leaden weight in the chest, nausea, clenched teeth, clearly hearing my child's cry in my head) has dragged on for a week and I have exhausted all permutations of takeaway, baked potatoes, dinners out and things my husband has cooked I have to return to the stove. And once I have run through my entire repertoire and Recipe Rifle hasn't been updated for nearly three weeks, it's time to hit The File.
The File is a stained purple cardboard file in which I occasionally shove torn-out recipes I mean to test out. Except that I don't always put the torn-out recipes in The File because I quite often lose The File and so shove the torn-out recipe somewhere else and then lose them.
So when I turn to The File, there is often not much interesting in there and always five or so recipes that I know I am never going to try (twice-baked souffle? Sorry, Xanthe Clay, can't be arsed) but am too superstitious to throw out.
Anyway this time I thought it would just pick something at random and cook it. It happened to be soy-braised tofu and butternut squash with spinach.
And it goes something like this:
For 4
1 pack cauldron tofu from Waitrose, about 350g
1 butternut squash
2 star anise
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
250g spinach OR some baby bok choi
1 red chilli, sliced
500ml water
1 Peel and chop up your bastard butternut squash. I have had such bad experiences with butternut squash remaining rock hard after several days' sauteeing that I nuked this fucker in the microwave for about 5 mins before cooking. I advise you do the same. (Chop, place in plastic container with 2 tbsp water. Balance a lid on at a jaunty angle. Toy for the 500th time with putting something metal in there too, just to see what happens. Reject idea, despite living very near a fire station. Press 5 min and hit Go.)
2 Get tofu out and stick it between two chopping boards and then put something heavy on the top to squish all the water out. Leave it for about 15 mins then dice into 3cm-ish cubes.
3 Fry off the tofu in oil and set to one side. Then sautee your butternut squash for 10 minutes (which will be enough if it has been prepped in the m/w).
4 Throw over the squash the ginger, soy, star anise (which I personally don't like, but works fine here so any haters can approach with confidence), sugar and water and the tofu and boil all this briskly for about 15 minutes. The sauce ought to reduce to a syrupy consistency and the squash out to have relaxed but not be complete mush.
5 Take off the heat, add the spinach/bok choi, sprinkle over the red chilli and serve.
Giles loved this but I wasn't that crazy about it so I wouldn't bother with it if I were you.
Go to McDonald's instead.

There are many areas of life in this country where it appears that we live in two worlds. And that's no different when we consider paid sick days. In the first world, if you're sick, you stay home from work, take care of yourself and have the time to get better.
In the second world, if you're sick, you go to work anyway. In the second world, you go to work even when your child is sick. You know that if you stay home, you'll lose pay – or maybe even your job.

In addition there are recruits from Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.
Eleven swimmers make up the new group of Bulldogs that will reinforce the 2005-2006 Yale men's squad. Their most distinctive trait appears to be their versatility. Each of them is highly competitive in multiple strokes and events. Besides achievement in the classroom, they have also excelled in the pool for both their high school and club teams.
Only a few in the group will be arrive on campus with set academic majors in mind. Most intend to at first explore Yale's vast academic diversity and take full advantage of that opportunity before selecting their major or majors and a pre-professional course.
When the new full 2005-2006 Swimming and Diving squad first gathers in the fall it will certainly be representative of Yale's diversity as it will be made up of swimmers and divers from 24 different states, as well as four other countries or territories.
Here is a listing of the Bulldog Class of 2009.

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) — European shares ended little changed Tuesday, with luxury retailer Burberry Group PLC gaining ground on strong sales while the broader market fought to a standstill amid worries over the U.S. debt ceiling and European growth.
The Stoxx 600 Europe index SXXP, +0.01% ended the day down 0.04 point, or less than 0.1%, at 285.97. The index fell 0.4% on Monday.
"The looming threat of further political fallout in the U.S. is the key threat over the coming weeks with both President Obama and Fed Chairman [Ben] Bernanke warning of the dire repercussions if Republicans carry out their threats to withhold an increase in the U.S. debt ceiling beyond the end of February," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor in London.
Retailers were in focus in Europe, with shares of Burberry Group PLC BRBY, +2.42% rallying 4.6% in London. The luxury-goods firm delivered stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenue growth on robust sales, despite lowering guidance for sales to department stores. See: Burberry sales rise; wholesale suffers.
Shares of Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB HM.B, -0.51% rose 3.6%. The company said same-store sales saw a 2% year-on-year decline last month, but analysts had forecast a 2.6% fall. Total sales rose 8% from December 2011, topping expectations for a 5.9% increase.
Bank shares came under pressure, with Banco Santander SAN, -1.97% dropping 1.9% in Madrid, BNP Paribas BNP, -1.27% losing 2.2% in Paris, and Barclays PLC BARC, -1.08% trading down 1.6% in London.
Capturing investors' attention, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned late Monday that the U.S. government could run up against the debt ceiling by mid-February or early March. The White House and congressional Republicans continue to wrangle over the debt-limit issue just weeks after taking steps to avert a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
Failure to raise the debt limit could result in a default.
Fitch Ratings on Tuesday said it continued to view a default as unlikely but warned that a delay in raising the debt ceiling would prompt a formal review of its AAA sovereign rating on the U.S. See: Fitch reiterates warning on debt ceiling.
U.S. and German data in focus
Tuesday's trading in U.S. stocks took on a bearish tone, as investors digested a plate of economic data. See: U.S. stocks drop on earnings wariness.
U.S. retail sales rose 0.5% in December, topping forecasts for a 0.2% rise, while wholesale-level inflation remained well contained. The Empire State Index, however, showed manufacturing in the New York region contracting for a sixth consecutive month.

Earlier, German data showed the country's economy grew by a calendar-adjusted 0.9 % in 2012, downshifting from a 3.1% rate in 2011. Germany has yet to release its estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, but the head of the government's statistics office said a quarterly contraction of 0.5% is currently being penciled in.
While not a shock, the estimates show Europe's largest and most resilient economy finally fell prey to the euro-zone crisis and global worries in the final three months of 2012, underlining expectations the euro-zone as a whole saw a deeper recession for the fourth quarter.
Economists noted, however, that early indicators, including purchasing-managers' indexes and the Ifo Institute's closely watched gauge of German business sentiment, have shown improvement, suggesting the downturn may have already bottomed.
"After growing relatively healthy at the start of 2012, the economy has entered into a weak spot at the end of the year. We expect the weakness to be relatively short lived with respect to latest indications of a pickup of global economic activity," said Rainer Sartoris, economist at HSBC.
Shares of Hochtief AG HOT, +0.36% rose 4.9% in Frankfurt after Goldman Sachs added the company to its "conviction buy" list, saying the construction firm stands to continue to benefit from a sector upturn.
"Hochtief has rallied since the new CEO was announced [in November], but with the rest of the sector up, we believe Hochtief can go further," the Goldman analysts wrote, upping their 12-month price target to €61 from €46, implying 32% upside potential.
Germany's DAX 30 stock index DAX, -0.23% fell 0.7% to 7,675.91.
Business software giant SAP AG SAP, +0.22% SAP, -1.47% dropped 4.3% after reporting a 12% rise in fourth-quarter revenue to €5.02 billion, slightly below analyst forecasts of €5.17 billion. The company didn't provide a net profit figure, saying it would provide an updated outlook for 2013 and additional fourth-quarter numbers on Jan. 23. See: SAP's revenue up 12%; software innovations cited.
ARM shares hit by downgrade
Meanwhile, Pearson PLC PSON, -0.99% shares rose 3.3% to 1,221 pence in London, gaining after analysts at UBS reiterated a buy rating on the media firm and raised its price target to 1,500 pence from 1,450 pence.
The analysts said underperformance in the second half of 2012 came despite growing signs of value across the group.
They said cost savings from the merger of publishers Penguin and Random House and accelerating momentum in its international education business added 7% to their long-term earnings forecast for the firm, while a sale of the FT Group, publisher of the Financial Times newspaper, could add 5%.
Shares of ARM Holdings PLC UK:ARM US:ARMH dropped 3.7%. Morgan Stanley analysts downgraded the chip maker from overweight to equalweight and removed it from the bank's "Best Ideas" list.
They said its current share price implies a "near-perfect trajectory" in ARM's market share and royalty rate for the next two years, adding that they would wait for "better entry point into what remains a great story."
The FTSE 100 stock index UKX, -0.21% in London gained 0.2% to end at 6,117.32, while in Paris, the CAC-40 stock index PX1, -0.21% fell 0.3% to 3,697.35.

It has been a little over week since the LA Stars Celebrity All-Star Weekend ally-hooped its way into some of the most notable and not-so-notable neighborhoods of Los Angeles, CA. Now that the "star dust" has settled and many of the superstar athletes have jetted off to other parts of our great nation, its time to take a deeper look into what the festivities mean for the community beyond the August 3-5 2007 weekend. Before you get LA Stars confused for the name of an ABA team, let me tell you exactly what LA Stars is about and who are the fighting forces behind its success.
LA Stars is the collaborative effort of 4 notable foundations started by LA natives who have realized that the true definition of success means being able to give a little of what you have received. Team Play – The Baron Davis Foundation, The Paul Pierce Truth Foundation, Zero Two Hero – The Gilbert Arenas Foundation and The Magic Johnson Foundation are currently the four entities operating under the mission to "give back to our youth that need community-based programs and health-related resource." Although only in its 2nd year as what it is known today, the efforts of the charity weekend steam from a rooted history established by NBA legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson. For twenty years, Johnson held A Midsummer Night's Magic for the city of Los Angeles to raise funds for various charitable programs. In a effort to help new blood get in the mix and carry on his visions for the city, the pass to NBA All-stars Baron Davis and Paul Pierce was made and 2006 and they have been shooting to win ever since.
For the 2007 year, the weekend included a private VIP reception hosted by Fendi for celebrity guests at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, a night of fashion, music and casino games on Rodeo Drive, a carnival and celebrity/NBA basketball game both held at the University of Southern California (USC). But most importantly the new addition to the onslaught of festivities commenced this year, The Legacy Project held at Richardson Park. The Legacy Project is just what it sounds like, a project geared toward leaving a legacy in the community in which it serves and with the people with whom it involves. The two components of any given Legacy Project are a day of service with a signature community service project and an event focused on health, wellness and community activity. For 2007, LA Stars partnered with The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT), North Area Neighborhood Development Council and LA Works to help revitalize Richardson Family Park (a small urban asphalt park located half a mile from the USC campus at 27th and Budlong).
The Legacy Project
Record high temps and minimal bouts of cool breeze didn't stop volunteers, athletes and even politicians from breaking a sweat in the effort to restore a once desolate inner-city neighborhood park. Approaching the location my photographer and I were greeted by homes that hung low and sad along streets lined with old food cartons and broke-down vehicles. However, a stream of music and the distant laughter of children pierced the still, hot air and somehow we knew that everything was going to be all good. At the park site, volunteers worked quickly and meticulously painting over graffiti laden walls and rusted fences. On the contrary, all work and no play was not the goal of the day. Pierce and Davis made time to stop between strokes of paint to sign an autograph, take a picture or greet a new face. Other NBA players that showed up to aid in the effort included Gabe Pruitt (Boston Celtics) and Arron Afflalo (Detroit Pistons).
Both Pruitt and Afflalo are newcomers to the NBA, but have already started to think about how they will give back to the Los Angeles Community where they both lived. Pruitt states that he loves working with kids and will probably venture to start something in that particular genre. Until then, he will be an advocate and supporter of LA Stars. In the area adjacent to the park, vendors had lined up booths to give out vital information about health, wellness and a host of other activities to those that participated. I had an opportunity to pose a couple questions to both Pierce and Davis who articulated their vision for LA Stars and what it means to them.
Takeisha Rayson: Why is your involvement in this effort so important?
Baron Davis: I grew up in this [Los Angeles] community and I felt that it was important for me to be able to give back and show kids that they have options when it comes to their life and their community.
Paul Pierce: We want to do anything we can in a effort to better the community and bring a newfound sense of hope to those that may have once felt hopeless.
Takeisha Rayson: Beyond the scope of the activities for this weekend, what is on the radar for improving the community?
Baron Davis: The foundations will continue works throughout the year to bring awareness, raise funds and support many communities around the city. It's my goal to bring in positive elements to the community in order to drive out negative ones. I would like to see the establishment of fitness centers and other types of establishments that aren't readily available within these [inner-city communities] presently.
Paul Pierce: Volunteers are needed on a continuum basis in order to keep the efforts going. Information on how the community can become involved will be posted on the Website (www.lastars.net)
In order to bring the vision of continued growth and involvement of the community into fruition, it is going to take a lot of support from the public and organizations like the LANLT. "By the adoption of various neighborhoods through our organization, we are able to be involved throughout the year to help maintain the parks and community," states Gabriela Garcia, a Community Organizer with LANLT. Garcia will be the appointed organizer for the Richardson Park community and says that she will be there for neighborhood meetings and to ensure that the momentum of the day isn't lost over the course of the year.
Tsilah Burman reiterates this by stating that it is part of LANLT's mission to ensure community participation and collaboration in every step of the process of creating and managing the parks and community gardens. One way in achieving this is to appoint various members of the community with a job role in the maintenance of the park. "By making someone in the community responsible for an aspect of their community then they feel a sense of ownership and therefore are given a newfound sense of responsibility to their neighborhood," states Burman. I couldn't agree more and feel that this tactic is both meaningful and strategic to achieving the long-term goals.
Gilbert Arenas, Sr. was on hand holding the torch for his son, who plays for the Washington Wizards. Although Arenas Jr. couldn't make it out to LA during the weekend, his father iterated how important this event and this cause was for him and the foundation in which he has dedicated to help the community. The Gilbert Arenas Foundation will be vital to the support of single parent families.
On the political front, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and former police chief Bernard Parks came out to lend their voice in support of everyone's efforts. Villaraigosa stated that this is only the beginning of numerous efforts to clean up communities around the city of LA. He applauded the efforts of all those involved and presented a plaque to those NBA players who played an important role in making the day possible. Villaraigosa even took time out during his speech to entertain a boisterous volunteer who couldn't hold back her enthusiasm for the day's events. When Parks stepped to the podium, his sentiments for the community in which he once helped to serve was touching and heart felt. His efforts to continue to be there for encouragement and support will last as many years as humanly possible and this is why he remains a respectable figure to the community.
Celebrity and NBA Basketball Game
USC's Galen Center became the host of two lively basketball games, which helped to raise funds for the community. Although a bit chaotic at times, the effort to gain celebrity insight into their involvement and feelings surrounding the weekend became encouraging as the day went on. I had the opportunity to speak with Tichina Arnold and Angie Stone who both articulated that they do as much as they can to give back, especially for kids. They are both supporters of Baron Davis and have always been supporters of the Magic Midsummer night activities in the past. Angie Stone, who will be putting out her highly anticipated album in October of this year, was the headliner for the Rodeo Drive event along with Stevie Wonder.
Other's that came out to support by playing in this year's celebrity game included Snoop Dogg, Donald Faison, Ray J, Allison Sweeney, Zee Woods, Brian White, Flex Alexander and James Lesure. Lesure, who has a starring role on hit television series Las Vegas, stated that he always tries to involve himself in efforts that better the community and society as a whole. Efforts that are geared toward giving hope and opportunity to children are vital because after all, the children are our future.
NBA player that came out to support included Jason Kidd, Gabe Pruitt, Arron Afflalo, Nick Young and Jordan Farmar to name a few.
So, now that the weekend has come and gone and you have had the opportunity to rest and recuperate from the excitement, you might be asking yourself "what can I do to help make a positive change and better prepare myself for involvement in next year's events?" Well, for starters, you can visit www.lastars.net for more information. Here you will be able to find out about each of the foundations supporting this effort and how you can become a volunteer. Also, start looking around your own community and become involved. If you see something that needs to be changed, you have the power to change it! Thoughts put into action create change.
Additionally, please be sure to check out the following organizations that could use your support:
Los Angeles Neighboorhood Land Trust – www.lanlt.org
North Area Neighborhood Development Council – www.nandc.org
LA Works – www.laworks.net
A variety of corporate sponsors helped make this weekend become a realization. A HUGE thank you goes out to them all.

|Version 27 (modified by 13 years ago) (diff),
The previous version of this page is obsolete due to the model syntax change. Additionally, there's now a better reference for this topic:
magic-removal: Model Inheritance
This is a proposal for how subclassing should work in Django. There a lot of details to get right, so this proposal should be very specific and detailed. Most of the ideas here come from the thread linked below:
Here are some additional notes from Robert Wittams on allowing different storage models.
For subclassing, there are 3 main issues:
- How do we model the relations in SQL?
- How do joins work?
- How does the API work?
Note that I have only provided examples for single inheritance here. Is multiple inheritance worth supporting?
The examples will use the following models:
class Place(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=50) class Restaurant(Place): description = models.TextField() class ItalianRestaurant(Restaurant): has_decent_gnocchi = models.BooleanField()
1. Modeling parent relations in SQL?
The general consesus seems to be this:
CREATE TABLE "myapp_place" ( "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, "name" varchar(50) NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE "myapp_restaurant" ( /* PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES "myapp_places" ("id") works for postgres, what about others? */ /* This works in MySQL too. -- Andy Dustman */ "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES "myapp_places" ("id"), "description" text NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE "myapp_italianrestaurant" ( "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES "myapp_restaurant" ("id"), "has_decent_gnocchi" bool NOT NULL );
2. Modeling joins in SQL
When we want a list of
ItalianRestaurants, we obviously need all the fields from myapp_restaurant and myapp_place as well. This could be accomplished by inner joins. It would look something like this:
SELECT ... FROM myapp_italianrestaurant as ir INNER JOIN myapp_restaurant as r ON ir.restaurant_id=r.id INNER JOIN myapp_place as p ON r.place_id=p.id
But what if we want a list of
Places, what should we do? We can either just get the places:
SELECT ... FROM myapp_place
Or we can get everything with left joins (this allows the iterator to return objects of the appropriate type, rather than just a bunch of
SELECT ... FROM myapp_place as p LEFT JOIN myapp_restaurant as r ON r.place_id=p.id LEFT JOIN myapp_italianrestaurant as ir ON ir.restaurant_id=r.id
Imagine we have more than one subclass of
Place though. The join clause and the column list would get pretty hefty. This could obviously get unmanageable pretty quickly.
I think some dbs have a maximum number of joins (something like 16), and even within the maximum, the query optimizer will either spend a while deciding which way to best join the tables or it will give up and choose the wrong way quickly. This wording is FUD-- I'll try to find specifics. --jdunck
MySQL-4.1 and newer can handle up to 61 tables in a JOIN or VIEW (5.0 and newer). Unclear what the limit is for 4.0 and older. -- Andy Dustman
There must be major performance problems with performing that many joins in a query. What's wrong with making the default behaviour to grab only the base fields, and documenting that? (except for the fact that subclass-specific methods might break .. hm.) --harmless
Another possibility is to create VIEWs:
CREATE TABLE "myapp_place" ( "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, "name" varchar(50) NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE "myapp_restaurant_base" ( "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES "myapp_places" ("id"), "description" text NOT NULL ); CREATE VIEW "myapp_restaurant" AS SELECT a."id", a."name", b."description" FROM "myapp_place" AS a LEFT JOIN "myapp_restaurant_base" AS b ON a."id"=b."id" ; CREATE TABLE "myapp_italianrestaurant_base" ( "id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES "myapp_restaurant" ("id"), "has_decent_gnocchi" bool NOT NULL ); CREATE VIEW "myapp_italianrestaurant" AS SELECT a."id", a."name", b."description", c."has_decent_gnocchi" FROM "myapp_place" AS a LEFT JOIN "myapp_restaurant_base" AS b ON a."id"=b."id" LEFT JOIN "myapp_italianrestaurant_base" AS c on a."id"=c."id" ;
In MySQL-5.0, most of the theoretically-updatable VIEWs are updatable, but currently, "You cannot use UPDATE to update more than one underlying table of a view that is defined as a join." so unfortunately this doesn't work (yet):
mysql> INSERT INTO "myapp_italianrestaurant" ("name","description","has_decent_gnocchi") -> VALUES ('DePalma\'s', 'Fine Italian Dining', 1); ERROR 1288 (HY000): The target table myapp_italianrestaurant of the INSERT is not updatable
However, it is possible to do this:
mysql> INSERT INTO "myapp_place" ("id","name") VALUES (1,'DePalma\'s'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO "myapp_restaurant_base" ("id","description") VALUES (1,'Fine Italian Dining'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO "myapp_italianrestaurant_base" ("id","has_decent_gnocchi") VALUES (1,1); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> UPDATE "myapp_italianrestaurant" SET "description"='Exquisite Italian Dining'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0 mysql> SELECT * FROM myapp_italianrestaurant; +----+-----------+--------------------------+--------------------+ | id | name | description | has_decent_gnocchi | +----+-----------+--------------------------+--------------------+ | 1 | DePalma's | Exquisite Italian Dining | 1 | +----+-----------+--------------------------+--------------------+ 1 rows in set (0.03 sec)
Unfortunately if you try to update name and description at the same time, this fails. The VIEW scheme would still be useful for SELECT, but I think the base tables will have to be updated directly. At least VIEWs buy you an easier SELECT statement without JOINs. It's possible to handle some of the VIEW updating with INSTEAD OF triggers with Oracle, IBM DB2, and MS SQL (PostgreSQL uses CREATE RULE ... AS ON (INSERT|UPDATE) ... DO INSTEAD), but that kind is not in MySQL yet. I'm not sure how much effort it's worth. -- Andy Dustman
Another option is to lazily load objects like
Restaurant and
ItalianRestaurant while we're iterating over
Place.objects.all(), but that requires a lot of database queries. Either way, doing this will be expensive, and api should reflect that. You're much better off just using
Places fields if you are going to iterate over
The following API examples assume we have created these objects:
p = Place(name='My House') r = Restaurant(name='Road Kill Cafe', description='Yuck!') ir = ItalianRestaurant(name="Ristorante Miron", description="Italian's best mushrooms restaurant", has_decent_gnocchi=True)
For the following examples, assume
Place.objects.get(2) returns
r and
Place.objects.get(3) returns
| 'Yuck!' or
Change the current usage of subclassing
class MyArticle(Article): ...fields... class META: module_name = 'my_articles' remove_fields = ...some fields...
would change to:
class MyArticle(meta.Model): ...fields... class META: copy_from = Article remove_fields = ...some fields...
Ramblings on Magic Removal Subclassing from the Pycon Sprint
Consider the following variation on the above restaurant example:
class Place(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=50) foo = 1 def bar(self): return 2
If Restaurant were to inherit from this, it would not automatically have a 'name' CharField. This is because Django uses a metaclass to modify the default class creation behavior. The ModelBase metaclass creates a new class from scratch, and then selectively pulls items from the Place class as defined above and adds them to this new class, which allows it to handle Field objects specially. For each of the class's attributes, add_to_class() is called. If add_to_class finds a 'contribute_to_class' attribute, ModelBase knows it is dealing with a Field object, and calls contribute_to_class. Otherwise, it just adds it to the new class via setattr(). Thus, by the time the Restaurant class is created, the Place class which it inherits from actually looks more like this:
class Place(models.Model): _meta = ... foo = 1 def bar(self): return 2
Thus, there is simply no 'name' field for it to inherit. So, we need to have ModelBase walk through the parent classes and call contribute_to_class on each of the fields found in _meta.fields. As we walk the inheritance tree, we look for a '_meta' attribute to determine if our current node is a Model. Otherwise, it is either a mixin class or the Model class iteself.
We can keep track of the parent hierarchy by creating _meta.parents, and having each ancestor of Model add to it in a recursive fasion, by adding the following to ModelBase.new():
# Build complete list of parents for base in bases: if '_meta' in dir(base): new_class._meta.parents.append(base) new_class._meta.parents.extend(base._meta.parents)
We can then add all of the parent fields to the new class like so:
# Add Fields inherited from parents for parent in new_class._meta.parents: for field in parent._meta.fields: field.contribute_to_class(new_class, field.name)
That should pretty much be it for the object side of things; what's left is the database side of things (ie, the hard part).

Ryan Reynolds doesn't often discuss Blake Lively, whom he secretly married in September 2012. But in the August 2013 issue of Details, the R.I.P.D. actor explains why he rarely talks about their marriage and opens up about their shared desire to have a "big family" one day.
"I don't intentionally try to be evasive about that stuff. If you ask me to describe my relationship, I mean — words are too clumsy to accurately describe how I feel in that regard, particularly in an interview," Reynolds, 36, says of Lively, 25. "It's a strange thing. I understand the climate we live in and why people are curious. But it's just tough and almost emotionally violent — for anyone, I think — to see your personal life summarized in a sentence."
The prospect of fatherhood excites Reynolds, who was previously wed to Scarlett Johansson from 2008 to 2011. "We'd love to have a big family," he says of Lively, whom he met on the set of 2011's The Green Lantern. "We both come from big families — my parents did four, Blake's did five. A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know? We'll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think."
Reynolds realizes that some aspects of parenthood are beyond his control — beginning with their children's genders. "I'm terrified that I'm genetically predisposed to only having boys. That's frightening," he admits. "By the time I was 10 years old, and I'm not exaggerating, I knew how to patch drywall. There's nothing my brothers and I didn't put a hole in. We turned our home into a Wiffle house. That's something I'm not looking forward to."
The Safe House star was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. The youngest of four brothers, Reynolds says he "pretty much got pounded" throughout his childhood. "I don't bruise easily anymore. I can't tell you how many times the cops were called to our house."
Ironically, the actor's father was a police officer. "Yeah, that's very embarrassing," Reynolds jokes. "When your dad's a cop, calling 911 is really just like calling Dad at work."
Reynolds and his brothers were rebellious, but according to the actor, they always had each other's backs. "I wanted to get an earring when I was 13. My brothers said that was a terrible idea and that as soon as Dad — a very, very obsessively strict cop, a tough guy — sees your Wham! starter kit, you're dead. Like, literally dead. He will turn you into a liquid. But I said, 'I don't care. I'm gonna do it.'"
The following day, Reynolds got his ear pierced. "I had a long walk home that felt like seven or eight days," he recalls. "And when I sat down at the dinner table, drips of sweat were just splashing off the table. I knew I was a dead man. I could feel my dad's eyes on me, like a laser beam burning a hole through my head. But then I could feel the gaze shift over to my brothers, and I heard him grumble something under his breath that was immensely offensive and that I won't repeat here. When I looked up, I saw that all three of my brothers had an earring. They did something pretty heroic in that moment. I have some amazing brothers."
It's those kind of memories that give Reynolds reassurance about raising his own family. "I think you have to let go of this idea that you can be precious about everything," he tells Details, "and let it be the abstract mess that it is."

informative and made it simple...name plate of generator, get amps... multiply by 115 percent.. for size wire between generator and overcurrent device. Then wire from overcurrent device to breaker panel is sized at overcurrent device. But, this example is overcurrent device also sized at 115 percent basically... so, all sections covered...
however, what if all you have is three thousand watt generator with surge up to five thousand watts, rated for 120 or 240volts? Just convert to volts based on surge wattage? Or on normal wattage?
And would inverters be sized the same from battery banks?
The video may go on after the free version stops, but the exception for 445.13 applies to many of the large custom generators that have internal protection from overloads, which would limit the sizing to 100% of nameplate.

Well I bought the boxset last week and finished it this morning and I gotta say....I loved it! I watched a few episodes here and there when it was first on TV, but since I had 3 little kids at the time I couldn't really "watch" it because I was so busy.
I gotta say though, for the most part this show was really made well. I'm sorry to see that it ended so quickly, especially with what the plans were for the third season.

Revealed: NERA Economic Consulting is Third Party Contractor for DOE LNG Export StudyRead time: 2 mins
Steve Horn | November 19, 2012
By Steve Horn • Monday, November 19, 2012 - 17:43
Reuters has revealed the identity of the mysterious third party contractor tasked to publish the economic impact study on LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports on behalf of the Department of Energy (DOE). Its name: NERA Economic Consulting.
"NERA" is shorthand for National Economic Research Associates, an economic consulting firm SourceWatch identifies as the entity that published a June 2011 report on behalf of coal industry front group American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE). ACCCE's report concluded, "clean-air rules proposed by the Obama administration would cost utilities $17.8 billion annually and raise electricity rates 11.5 percent on average in 2016."
That report went so far to say that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations of the coal-generated electrcity sector would amount to some 1.5 million lost jobs over the next four years.
NERA was founded by Irwin Stelzer, senior fellow and director of the right-wing Hudson Institute's Center for Economic Policy. In Oct. 2004, The Guardian described Stelzer as the "right-hand man of Rupert Murdoch," the CEO of News Corp., which owns Fox News.
According to NERA's website, the late Alfred E. Kahn, the "father of deregulation," advised NERA's 1961 foundation.

According to ESPN (and this was also discussed last night by Pete Thamel of the NYTimes):
Texas and Texas A&M officials are scheduled to meet [today] at an undisclosed location to discuss the future of their athletic programs and the Big 12 amid speculation the league could be raided by rival conferences and broken apart.Things are moving very quickly. One of the big problems with expanding to 16 teams is...how do you keep fans happy when they are fewer titles to go around? Well, the Pac 10 may have dreamed up a very obnoxious answer to that question (ht - blutarsky):
The coach said it's possible the Pac-16 would push for two automatic bids to the BCS, one for each division champion. That potential bonanza could open the possibility of the two division champs from one league playing for the national title, and it would eliminate the need for a conference championship game.If they move in that direction, the Pac 10 is essentially not a single conference at all. It's a modified version of the Pac 8 meets the Southwest Conference in a marriage for TV purposes only.
"The Pac-10 doesn't believe in a championship game," the coach said. "And coaches in the Big 12 don't like it anyway."
Imagine the SEC applying this thinking and expanding to 16. You'd have a league whereby the SEC East and SEC West champs both earned a BCS slot automatically, but there would be absolutely no "settling it on the field" in that scenario as the two division champs wouldn't meet in Atlanta. Bizarre.

Something you need to know about worklight
Any work environment – regardless how remote in location – need to have functional and energy efficient light systems. There is a variety of work lights, and light bulbs too, all coming together to liven up your day and night and productivity levels. This may appear quite unimportant and trival, but it actually is pretty important when you actually need it indeed. Your crews might not have the work done if your lighting system sucks!
The Recommended Choice: LED Work Lights
If you are looking for some most energy efficient work lights, they have to come with high power LED's. These LED work lights can last for as a minimum four times longer than your typical fluorescent or incandescent work lamps. Being simple in design, these LED work light generates a lot less heat compared to other types and UV rays are not released either. This will help to account for the fact that they need very little maintaining for the reason that of their 'sun-like' longevity.
Hence when using high power LED lights for LED work light, it make the conventional work light brighter yet more power saving.
Here are some comparison
• 15W high power LED work light has 1275 lumen vs. the same price Halogen work light's only 700 lumen lighting output
• 18W high power LED work light has 1500 lumen vs. the same price Halogen work light's only 700 lumen lighting output
• 27W high power LED work light has 2300 lumen vs. the same price Halogen work light's only 700 lumen lighting output
• 2x brighter than halogen work light
• Beam pattern: wide flood beam
• Anti-break lens
• Compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles
• High-impact metal housing with stainless steel hardware
• Vibration-dampened mounting bracket
• Hardwired leads with stripped-wire pigtail
• Working temperature: below 140F
• Waterproof sealed to IP67
• Excellent for ATV, Project Vehicles, Jeep, SUV, Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Truck, Tractor and any vehicles or heavy equipments, etc.

Endangered & Threatened Species
The Maine Legislature established the foundation for Maine's Endangered Species Program when it passed the Maine Endangered Species Act [MESA] in 1975 in response to concerns that various species of fish and wildlife were in danger of disappearing from the State. This act covers all of Maine's inland fish and wildlife (including invertebrates), and gives the Commissioner of Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife [MDIFW] the authority to implement MESA. In 2003, the Maine Legislature passed legislation that gives the Commissioner of the Department of Marine Resources authority to specifically list and conserve endangered and threatened marine species. Endangered and Threatened plants are the responsibility of the Maine Natural Areas Program which resides in Maine's Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
Since passage of MESA in 1975, the Maine Legislature passed laws or modified MESA to fund the Endangered Species Program (Maine Endangered and Non-game Wildlife Fund), establish Essential Habitats for the protection of endangered and threatened species' habitat, and to establish the Legislature's authority to modify Maine's list of endangered and threatened species (Listing Endangered and Threatened Species in Maine).
Photo Credit: Jonathan Mays, MDIFW
The Endangered Species Program has grown dramatically since its beginnings when it was primarily the responsibility of one person. The program is now an integral part of MDIFW and does not totally reside within a specific bureau or group. All Department entities are involved in endangered and threatened species conservation at some level, and all are vital to the ultimate success of the Program.
Conserving Maine's rare, endangered, and threatened fish and wildlife is a challenging task that requires MDIFW to work closely with our many partners, including other government agencies, private organizations, colleges and universities, landowners, and individuals. It also requires us to be involved with similar programs in other states at the regional and national scale to coordinate our efforts, share costs and ideas, and to improve efficiencies.
Please explore the full scope of Maine's Endangered Species Program by clicking on the many links on our website – we believe you will be surprised and pleased to know what our partners and we are accomplishing for the benefit of Maine's rare, endangered, and threatened species.

Heat try to knot things up with the Bulls
The Miami Heat find themselves in a position most thought they wouldn't be in all postseason - they are down in a series.
Granted, it's only a 0-1 deficit, but that makes Wednesday's Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls all the more interesting.
"We understood, we're not going undefeated the rest of the year," said Dwyane Wade. "We have to come out and make adjustments and play better, especially toward the end, when it's winning time."
LeBron James echoed Wade's disappointment in how the Heat played late in Monday's 93-86 setback at American Airlines Arena. Miami held a comfortable lead, but the Bulls finished the game on a 10-0 run to steal Game 1 in Miami.
Chicago held a commanding 46-32 advantage on the glass and a 17-8 edge in second-chance points. The Bulls had a 40-32 points in the paint advantage.
Miami will need to improve on those numbers, or the unthinkable reality of the Heat falling to 0-2 becomes possible.
"Every game is a must-win in the playoffs," said James.
The Heat have been dominant in recent history, just remember their 27-game winning streak, which, was halted by the Bulls.
They haven't been immune from falling behind in a series. Miami trailed in three different series last year en route to the franchise's second NBA championship.
"It doesn't bother us," said James. "It's nothing we like being accustomed to. We've been in this position before."
James, who had a career playoff-low of two points in the first half Monday, finished with team-highs of 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Wade was the only other Miami player in double figures with 14.
For the Bulls, Monday's win was just another in a string of impressive performances this postseason.
There was the triple-overtime, Game 4 thriller against the Brooklyn Nets. There was stealing Game 7 in Brooklyn after the Nets pulled even. And now, you can add Monday's series-opener to the mix.
"We feel like we could have played better (in Game 1), said All-Star center Joakim Noah. "They probably feel the same way. It's going to be a great Game 2."
The Bulls have been ravaged by injury and illness, starting with former MVP Derrick Rose, who has still not returned from a torn ACL suffered in last season's first round of the playoffs.
Noah limped into the postseason with plantar fascitis and his coach finally admitted to how bad it was for the first-time All-Star.
"The night before the Brooklyn series, he said he didn't think he was going to be able to play," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau admitted on Tuesday. "He's found something that works, he's feeling a lot better, and obviously that's huge for our team."
Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng both have missed significant time this postseason. Hinrich injured his calf and Deng is suffering side effects from a spinal tap to test for meningitis. Thibodeau said Hinrich will once again test the leg before the game and Deng is still not with the team, although that could change Wednesday.
"He's feeling a little better, but he's going to be home probably for another day," Thibodeau said, referring to Deng. "We haven't decided yet. We're trying to weigh whether it's better for him to start doing activity back home."
That's meant heavier minutes for those that can go, namely Jimmy Butler. He's played all 48 minutes of the last three games for Chicago.
And Nate Robinson has been spectacular as well. He led the Bulls in Game 1 with 27 points. Butler had a double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds and Noah also had a double-double with 13 points and 11 boards.
Game 3 is slated for Friday night in Chicago.

Troopers shoot, kill man near Thunderbird Falls
Alaska State Troopers say a vehicle pursuit that began in Wasilla ended when troopers shot and killed a man who advanced on them with a bat near Thunderbird Falls.
Troopers were not releasing details about the man who was killed or the officers involved in the shooting.
According to a press release issued by AST, troopers attempted to stop a 1994 Saturn coupe at approximately 4:01 a.m. at the corner of Lucille Street and the Parks Highway in Wasilla. Law enforcement personnel were able to deploy a spike strip before the Trunk Road exit off the Parks, but the man continued onto the southbound Glenn Highway and headed toward Anchorage.
Troopers say that the man's vehicle caught fire near Mile 25 at around 4:20 a.m., and he fled the vehicle. According to the report, attempts to subdue the man (including the use of a Taser) were unsuccessful. The man allegedly advanced on three troopers with a raised bat, at which point one of the troopers shot and killed the man. He was declared dead at the scene.
Both lanes of the Glenn were closed during the investigation, and the northbound lanes remained closed for several hours while law enforcement conducted their investigation.
Here's the Alaska State Troopers' account of the incident:
Location: Glenn Highway
Case Number: AK 12225200
Type: Trooper-involved shooting
Text: On 8/3/12 at approximately 0401 hours, Alaska State Troopers attempted
to stop a 1994 Saturn Coupe at Lucille Street and the Parks Highway. The
vehicle was observed failing to signal as it made a right-hand turn onto the
Parks Highway from Tommy Moe Drive. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit
ensued heading southbound on the Parks Highway. Prior to passing the Trunk Road
turnoff, spike strips were deployed and managed to deflate a tire. However, the
vehicle continued driving southbound onto the Glenn Highway. As the vehicle
neared milepost 25, the vehicle caught on fire and stopped in the southbound lane.
The driver and sole occupant, a male, exited the vehicle and started running
toward the northbound lane. Attempts to subdue the individual, including use
of a Taser, were unsuccessful. The man then stopped running and advanced on
three troopers with a raised bat. At that time, a trooper fired and shot
the man with his duty weapon at approximately 0420. The man was declared
deceased on scene. Alaska State Troopers were assisted by officers from the
Anchorage and Wasilla police departments to include a WPD canine. No officers
or troopers were injured in the incident. The southbound and northbound
lanes of the Glenn Highway were closed until the scene could be secured.
APD took responsibility for traffic control and began a pilot car system
to route vehicles through the two southbound lanes to allow traffic to
move in both directions. Traffic was backed up to the interchange of the
Glenn and Parks highways. The northbound will remain closed for several
hours until the on-scene investigation is complete.
The name of the trooper will be released in 72 hours per department policy.
The Alaska Bureau of Investigation responded and assumed case responsibility.
Anyone witnessing either the pursuit or incident that has not been already
contacted by law enforcement is asked to call ABI in Palmer at (907)745-2131.

For months now, "sources" have been telling reporters (at CNBC, WSJ, and elsewhere) that Facebook IPO valuation will be somewhere near $100 billion.
But as the IPO slowly becomes a reality - Facebook is expected to file this week - that number is gently slip-sliding lower.
Kara Swisher reports: "Sources tell me that the number will be lower that $100 billion figure being thrown around."
The WSJ, meanwhile, now says the valuation will be in the range of $75 billion to $100 billion. (That's a GINORMOUS range. You could fit two Twitters and AOL in there!)
Why is Facebook's expect valuation backsliding?
Two reasons:
The old IPO expectations game. To get a nice solid pop on the day of an IPO, a newly public company has to come out at a valuation lower than where traders would have guessed.
Disappointing revenue numbers. Facebook's 2011 operating profit was about $1.5 billion and that its operating revenues were about $3.8 billion. In early 2011, sources told us EBITDA would approach $2 billion, and revenues $4 billion. The real numbers aren't way off, but they are also not overwhelming. Also - in an unfair comparison that Facebook execs will nonetheless have to get used to a deal with anyway - Facebook is way behind where Google was at the same age.
