Some hotels offer discounts to Carnegie Mellon visitors and free shuttle service to campus. Rates are per night and reservations are necessary as this is a very busy time of the year. Taxes are not included in the quoted rates, so you may want to ask the hotel how much taxes cost per night.

Travel Tips
- We recommend traveling with $200-$300 (US) in small bills to cover incidental expenses (taxis, meals, books, etc.). For your own safety, you should not travel with large sums of cash. However, you will want to have enough currency to limit the number of times you may need to use an ATM and incur withdrawl or foreign currency exchange fees. To avoid paying ATM fees once you arrive in Pittsburgh, consider opening a local bank account.
International Students: If you bring a bank draft or a foreign check to open a bank account, you cannot draw upon it for 2 to 3 weeks, so do not rely upon these funds for immediate cash. After you have established an account, you may have money wired directly from your home bank to your Pittsburgh bank. Since wiring fees can be expensive (check with your bank in advance!), consider wiring only large sums.
Bring Credit Cards With You
- If you have major credit cards, bring them. Whether you are a domestic or international graduate student you should call your bank or credit card company before you travel to let them know your plans and avoid a situation in which they might decline 'suspicious' activity.
For international students without a credit history in the U.S., it will be difficult or even impossible to obtain a credit card from a U.S. bank, so a credit card from your home country will be help you cover expenses until you can open a local bank account.
Bring Only What You Need
- If you do not have an apartment secured for your arrival or are traveling long distances or from overseas, you may want to limit the items you bring with you initially. Bringing only the essentials will make it easier for you to get through the airport or transport items from the airport to your hotel. If you live within a reasonable distance of Pittsburgh and wish to visit the city to look at apartments prior to your permanent arrival, consult the Finding Off-Campus Housing page.
- During the summer, June through September, the weather in Pittsburgh is often hot and humid. Lightweight clothing is recommended. In addition to clothes and walking shoes, books and other essentials, consider bringing the following items: extra eye glasses or contact lenses, medications (in clearly labeled containers), addresses of friends and family, phone numbers of contact people in the U.S., and compact items that will help your residence feel like home.
- Check with your airline regarding luggage weight and security measures or consult the Transportation Security Administration.

Halloween is one of the most popular days of the year – when revelers dress up in clever costumes and gorge themselves on candy and delicious fall treats. It is not just another modern holiday, however. It can be traced back over 2,000 years to a supernatural Celtic festival called "Samhain."

More Than a Pumpkin: The Real Story of the Jack-O'-Lantern
When people think of jack-o'-lanterns, they usually think of bright orange pumpkins, lit by candles that shine out of cleverly carved faces. It may come as a surprise that the term "jack-o'-lantern" was first used to describe people.
Day of the Dead: Bringing Culture and Tradition to Life
Día de los Muertos, or "Day of the Dead," is a multi-day celebration of all five senses. Contrary to the somber tone that its name implies, the holiday is treasured in Mexican culture as an opportunity to honor the dead while celebrating the joy of life.
3,000 Jack-O'-Lanterns Usher in Halloween in Kenova
At the fork of the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers in Kenova, West Virginia, former mayor Ric Griffith and his small army of volunteers spend three weeks every year designing, scooping and carving 3,000 pumpkins. After the carving is done, the volunteers decorate the front of Griffith's Beech Street house and yard with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.
The Sound of Silence: Touring America's Most Historic Prison
Before the 19th century, most prisons were filthy, corrupt, and disorderly. They offered lawbreakers little chance to reflect and "repent" of their wrongdoings since prisoners were too busy trying to avoid disease, starvation, and abuse. The Eastern State Penitentiary, located in the residential Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia, was designed to remedy the ills of the prison system and offer inmates a chance to be "penitent" for their crimes.

Let our customers speak for us
Easy to install, good quality great people.
So far everything fits. DriftHQ was quick on the shipping and price was best out there.
The product was top noch, the instruction is on point the installtion was easy to follow. Recommended to all who want a top noch product.
Product is perfect. Very good quality. Customer service has been excellent and shipping was extremely fast. No complaints and will definitely buy from drift hq again!
fits perfect came with all hardware
Some of the GK Tech HICAS delete kits seem to be missing these bushings. Went on my 1991 Nissan 180sx and the fit was amazing, this adding to handling immensely.
Best customer service ever! I would highly recommend these guys. If I could give more stars I would. Will be ordering more !
Awesome service . Really fast at responding and answering questions .
Best customer service hands down and fastest shipping
I went through 3 different angle adapters to find none of them fit my E36 M3. After finding these I was excited because they made a little bit different than all the others I had order. Got them in and bam!! they fit perfectly. These are more expensive but fit perfectly. I added E46 control arms and I could use my stock tie rod ends with these adapters. I highly recommend.
Super fast shipping, Great Customer service 10/10 recommend
The right mounts holes were not aligned right and one bolt won't go in.
Super quality shifter. E36's and bmw's are known to have a somewhat sloppy shift Throw. Even after installing expensive short throw shifters (oem style) they still are floppier than a palm tree in a hurricane. These shifters delete the oem arm that runs about the transmission that has bushings front and rear. The end of this shifter attached to the shift linkage itself deleting the slop all together. It also bolts directly to your floor to a plate underneath with no holes needing drilled. (Recommend installing that part with a buddy) I did it solo it just took longer trying to figure out how to make it work. Would have been a quick job with another person.
This shifter will change the game in your e36 especially if it's a track or drift build. Mine is a track purpose only drift car so having those quick accurate shifts is very nice while transitioning or up shifting to get forward bite mid drift. 100% worth the money. If your skeptical about it seriously don't be. It will only make your car twice as great as it is now!
Also DriftHq has some of the best customer service I have ever dealt with and I've been building drift cars for over ten years now. Great guys that want to help save you money and keep you happy.
fitment was perfect as any condor bushing. Drift Hq got it shipped same day as well. will continue to order from them and their great customer service and knowledge.
Fit the e46 sedan stock seat perfectly (does not include fire extinguisher mount that bolts onto this bracket) extinguisher clears in every seat position!
So I was at a drift event called spring break bash in Orlando FL and Drift HQ had brought there Parts Van, thankfully coming to the rescue of multiple drivers including myself!! Halfway through the day I tore my stock perfectly healthy engine mounts in HALF!!! BOTH OF THEM!! needless to say the stock mounts can not hold up to fat loads of Clutch Kicks! Drift HQ had this PMC set on the truck! I installed them at the track (FYI it's a little of a pain to install on a stock VQ ) MY CLUTCH KICKS FEEL AMAZING!!! the stiffness of these mounts is far superior than stock and they didn't even vibrate that bad!!! It was like I still had stock mounts! With all the benefits of solid mounts!!! The car is much more responsive and more reliable now I don't have to worry about my motor almost falling out of the CAR! And Drift HQ is really the GOAT for having drivers backs with parts and allowing me the opportunity to drive the rest of the weekend!!!!
Thanks guys these lines worked great!
I wanna thank alex for the must outstanding experience with Drift HQ his product knowledge is great.. i wish to continue busy with Drift HQ again
These guys went above and beyond to get me parts in time for an event and any issues I had with the install Josiah at fdf got back to me as fast as he could even on Sunday's! Hands down this kits the best in its price range for sure! The car has so much angle and no binding parts were all superb quality and far exceeded my expectations , I can't say enough good things about the kit or drift hq team!
Awesome people, responds very quickly, super helpful, definitiely recommend and I will be shopping with them again.
These lines fit amazing in a c5. The routing is very clean, and the bulk head fittings give the best routing option in order to keep the lines away from the exhaust.
So i went from my mishimoto which was literally falling apart to this new unit. Right out the box packaging was great and the rad had 0 flaws. Joel is awesome and this looks way better and higher quality than any other rad ive purchased.
Awesome product fits great a+++++
Installed on a C5. Was a fairly big job removing the hub assemblies. This kit fit very nice and works wonderful as expected!!
I absolutely love this shifter. it is super short and very notchy. It makes my car feel like a race car and I can shift so fast it feels like a sequential transmission. Joel has been so helpful!
Super nice feeling , great built quality !! Recommended !!!
No complaints here. Well see how much abuse these taps can take in the drift car 😝
Got the ac delete bracket for the 2jz for my is300 everything fits fine but you will have to remove the dampener if your car comes with one
The brace fit extremely well, simple install. Great quality of build too.
thank you arrived on time and its really good thanks !
it was beautifully packaged. the product came as I wanted it.
Quality parts , faster shipping and good attention 100% recommended
Hydro brake lines
Quality kit for e46, but do have a few issue with it, first doesn't come with instructions so had to sit there and figure out which way it properly goes on, second if you don't have the right offset wheels you can not turn out on passenger side because the tire now hits a pinch weld in the tire well, cant say how good it works yet still excited to try it, just need wheels first. again quality parts for the price
Awesome service and good response time. Happy to receive my kit🤘
I just received my k20 RX8 clutch and adapter plate kit. The quality looks great and I'm so looking forward to my build. If all goes well, this will be a huge time saver! (From Kelowna BC 🇨🇦) I'll give you a final review after installation.

Today I'm finally going to be talking to you about my journey into medicine. I grew up in Surrey, BC and although I have my fair share of Surrey jokes I wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere else. The people around me, the mentors that I had, and the Opportunities that were available to me really made me who I am today. It is cold out here. For me high school was amazing. I played basketball, soccer, volleyball, field hockey, Badminton.. and I was also a part of many clubs as well I really wanted to do everything But study. I would have much rather been playing sports, spending time in my community, Volunteering, I even picked up sewing at the time And I really enjoyed that. I basically wanted to do anything but schoolwork. At the time though I did know that my grades were important And I knew that I needed to have good grades in order to go to Universities that I wanted to. So what I did was I basically did the least amount of work possible To maintain an A and for me that was an 86%. Before school started I would play basketball, after school ended I would play basketball, on the weekends I was playing basketball And then I did the schoolwork that I needed to in between in order to finish high school with an 86% average When it came to choosing a university my only criteria was really, schools that were outside of BC I didn't know about any schools, but I did know that I wanted to leave Surrey. Because I was born and raised there I really wanted to push myself out of the comfort zone I had created in my own community and go somewhere where I didn't know anybody I applied to a lot of schools in Ontario. Again, I had no idea What the schools were about, I knew nothing what the cities they were in, but they were far enough away from home that there were Good choices for me at the time. In the end I ended up choosing Queen's, and I couldn't have been happier with that decision Here's the thing about Queen's my time there was great I couldn't even think of a better undergraduate experience if I were to dream one up; however, Queen's was also very difficult for me, academically. The transition from high school to university Was a tough one. One of the reasons why I think I had a difficult time was because in high school I was so busy all the time. Being busy really helped me to manage my time better and all of a sudden I moved to a new place, and I was only in school. I wasn't playing any sports, I wasn't involved in my community, and because I had all of this extra time outside of class I didn't really know how to spend that time effectively. As a result my grades suffered First year my GPA wasn't very good, and I thought okay, This is my first year And I know a lot of people struggle in their first year of university. Second year was coming and I was going to buckle down Try harder, and hopefully bring out my grades. Second year came And I did even worse. Second year was tough Academically, just because of the courses that we were taking. And there were such heavy courses all in a short amount of time But it was really defeating knowing that with an even lower GPA Than what I thought was already a low GPA, the idea of medical school was slowly Slipping away. I wasn't one of those kids who thought from a very young age That they knew they wanted to go into medicine For me it was always an idea, but coming into university that idea Didn't really seem like it could be attained for me. Moving forward I started to do other things in my day-to-day life at Queen's Starting at the end of second year when I realized how poorly I was actually doing I Started doing research in a lab. One of my friends at Queen's Somehow convinced me to join the rowing team, so I was coxswaining a men's eight boat, and I also started playing Intramural basketball as well Finally on top of all of that, I started coaching basketball at a local high school. And I know this seems counterintuitive I'm not doing very well in school But I just started doing all of this extra stuff on top of that Limiting my time even more. But in reality what this did was it gave me the sort of lifestyle I had previously one that I thrived in I was able to do all of these things in my life And my grades ended up getting better I really think that it allowed me to focus on what I needed to For the amount of time that I needed to, in order to do well third and fourth year was great I was able to pull my grades up and I also took courses that I was more interested in Just because the nature of upper-years in undergrad My prerequisites were done, and I got to explore different subjects that interested me I know a lot of people apply to medicine after their third year of university But because I had two years of not so great grades I didn't apply that year because I had a very strong feeling that I wasn't going to get in This meant that I had a gap year after undergrad, or I should say at least one gap year, I wasn't really sure When I was going to apply next. One of my mentors in undergrad someone who I was doing research with it gave me the idea Of a master's program and at the time it did sound like a feasible option for me The only problem was that I didn't really know what I wanted to do my master's in. At that time I was doing basic science research But I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue that for a master's program. And the last thing I wanted was to rush into something That I didn't really want to do or that my heart wasn't truly in. What I did was I sent some emails out And I ended moving to Calgary after my undergrad to work there full-time for that summer I also chose to apply to medical school for the first time. I was rejected pre-interview but it was really good because schools give me feedback and I had an idea of Where I stood in the application process that summer in Calgary was great. I was doing clinical research Working on a lot of clinical trials, and it was just a really positive experience for me after speaking to my supervisor about it My contract was extended And I began working there full-time after the summer ended. A few things happen in Calgary that I'm so fortunate about Firstly, I was able to do a lot of research Outside of my main role as a research assistant there, I also got to work on my own projects I was able to publish and I was also able to present at some conferences. If there's one point that I can't emphasize enough It's to take ownership of the work that you're doing set goals, and make sure you do anything you can to achieve those goals. For me that was to publish while I was working in Calgary I had multiple conversations with my supervisor To let him know what I wanted to do and what I wanted to achieve While I was there. As a result I was able to make those things happen with the help of the people around me Secondly, I was able to learn about Medicine from a first-hand experience for the first time While I was in Calgary I was able to shadow physicians, I was able to attend Grand Rounds I attended specialty rounds, and I was able to talk to patients one-on-one while enrolling them in trials And it was at this point Through my experience there that I knew that medicine was in fact the right choice for me There were a few other factors as well But this was a big reason behind my decision to pursue it fully to the best of my ability. Thirdly Throughout our work and the trials that we were doing ,I was exposed to a lot of preventive medicine and public health Approaches to improving health of Canadians. Through this exposure I really became interested in public health and at that point I decided to apply for a public health master's degree. I ended up going to UBC for this and The program was really great. They have this format Which is called distributed learning and the way that the distributed learning worked is that all I had to do was attend classes for four days of the month So we had four classes and each day was one full class and for the rest of the time you were basically on your own It was a self learning format, geared towards professionals who are either working or For people who had families and other things that they had to do during the day During this time, I lived in Calgary, and then I would fly back to Vancouver once a month for an extended weekend And I would take classes there and through this I was not only able to begin my degree But I was also able to continue the work that I was doing in Calgary Because I really enjoyed it so much and I didn't want to stop working just to live in Vancouver My master's program was the first time that I really enjoyed what I was learning. In the summer after my first year we had to do a Practicum and basically it was anything that was public health related I was fortunate to receive an internship with the Public Health Agency of Canada and that took me to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory My summer in Whitehorse was Absolutely amazing. In my previous video where I was explaining my journey to Prince George I know it sounded a little bit weird that I was moving to Prince George and my Experience in Whitehorse as a part of my practicum was a huge reason Why I wanted to come to Prince George as a part of the Northern Medical Program I got to work on a mental health project with a Chief Medical Officer of Health And when I wasn't working on this project I tried to travel as much as possible. (Just A side note here if the noise outside is bothersome, or if you can hear in this video I apologize. There is construction going on Conveniently next door right now) So anyways My entire time in the Yukon Couldn't have been any better the people I met there, the work/life balance How welcoming everyone was, the tight-knit community; there were just so many reasons That I was attracted to the city of Whitehorse It was also during this time I was submitting my second application to medical school. The other thing about my master's program In combination with my time in the Yukon was that it really solidified my desire to go into medicine That was definitely stronger after Calgary, but during this time I knew what I wanted to do.So fast forward a year And I was accepted into Medical School in May. My master's program was done And I found out that I would be moving to Prince George. If you have any questions about my journey into medicine Feel free to comment below. I do read all the comments and I try to reply back as quick as possible If you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up and don't forget to hit the subscribe button

Studying while standing up Woah it's awesome where did you get a desk like that?
I always like your style …. you are so beautiful 🙂
do you really study while standing?
You're so cool ! I love the vibe of your videos and look forward to more videos !
i like the aesthetic
Hello Priv, did you have to contact the med schools to get feedback about your application the first time around? Thanks!
Hi! Love your videos, I was just wondering, how did you decide who to put down as a reference and what do you think are the criteria of appropriate referees for med applications? Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi i am just starting off, going to my third year of med school and i have been interested in conducting some sort of research with faculty but i havent received any replies. I was just wondering how you got into research because i really look forward to that aspect of science as it will allow me to become more hands-on
Sorry if you have mentioned this, but when did you write the MCAT and how did you find it? I am in a very similar boat regarding the first 2 years of university, so I'm going back to UBC for Nursing to boost my UG GPA (I took Kinesiology previously so I'm very confident in the sciences). However, I am writing the MCAT this August and applying this Sept for the first time to a few Canadian med schools! Thanks for sharing your story 🙂
Hello Priv, great video…I like your work ethic! if you don't mind me asking what GPA did you apply to med school with?
Hi! It's a long time you haven't uploaded anything. Are you fine?
Do you mind sharing which masters your were doing at UBC? Sounds like it offered great flexibility and is actually achievable for someone working full-time. Thanks and take care!

Repair Escrow for Your Home. An "escrow," in home lending terms, is an account set up and managed by a lender to pay for expenses related to your property.The most common escrow sets aside funds to pay for yearly property taxes and/or homeowner insurance premiums. By having these funds available, the owner and the lender are assured payments are being made and the loan remains in good standing.
An FHA 203(k) rehab loan, also referred to as a renovation loan, enables homebuyers and homeowners to finance both the purchase or refinance along with the renovation of a home through a single mortgage. Learn more about a 203(k) rehab loan from the mortgage experts at HomeBridge.

Cougar Town 2011 Spoilers: News Not Good For Jules/Grayson & Travis/Laurie
April 21, 2011 | News, Spoilers | No Comments|
Fans of Jules & Grayson will have to wait longer to see a hook-up. Executive producer Bill Lawrence said in a recent interview that Grayson and Jules will have some 'big issues' that come up pretty immediately but that their break-up will not be the finish to the season. "I just don't like putting a couple together, and then breaking them up, and then putting them together, and so on," he said.
As for Travis and Laurie, their storyline will be addressed almost immediately. Lawrence said that the chemistry between Dan Byrd and Busy Philipps caught him by surprise and because of their age difference, they might face some issues and to avoid things getting creepy, it may have to wait until they are both in their 20's.

Cardiology services now provided in one centralized location on Clifton Campus
CINCINNATI (Nov. 21, 2019) — A six-month, $2 million renovation project will now enable cardiology patients at UC Health to receive outpatient care in one centralized location on the Clifton Campus.
The project, completed in October, brings general cardiology, advanced heart failure, cardiothoracic surgery care, structural and interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and diagnostics services together under one roof at the UC Health Physicians Office on Piedmont Avenue.
Previously, these outpatient programs were located in two separate buildings on the Clifton Campus: the Hoxworth Building and the Medical Arts Building.
The renovation includes the move of UC Health's Advanced Heart Failure Treatment Center from the Hoxworth Building to the UC Health Physicians Office. It also provides 25 new patient exam rooms and expanded imaging capabilities for echocardiography, stress testing and external cardiac device monitoring.
The new, consolidated center will expand access for patients, improve the quality of care, and enable UC Health cardiology specialists and clinicians within the UC Heart, Lung & Vascular Institute to work together more collaboratively than in the past, said Donald Wayne, MD, medical director of ambulatory cardiology for UC Health and associate professor of internal medicine at the UC College of Medicine.
"When you have multiple cardiology services in the same area, the interaction will become much more seamless with doctor to doctor collaboration for the patient," Wayne said. "This eases the transfer of care, so the patient will not have to move to different locations, while also improving the quality of care."
In October, UC Health was named among the top 10% in the nation for cardiology services by Healthgrades. The health system also routinely receives recognition from the American Heart Association for the quality of cardiac care, including heart failure and heart attack.
The UC Heart, Lung & Vascular Institute provides advanced cardiac care in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including heart transplantation, ventricular assist devices (VAD), the region's largest Advanced Heart Failure Treatment Center, and a wide range of other cardiac services.
To learn more or schedule an appointment, visit uchealth.com/heart or call (513) 475-8521. The new cardiology center is located at the UC Health Physicians Office, 222 Piedmont Ave., Suite 1000, Cincinnati, OH 45219.

La Chata la irina
Huu tested - Clear
Liza is the latest addition to our team here at Ira's Bulls. She's is a standard dog through and through, highly intelligent & hard headed just like all Bulldogs are. She integrated well into the pack & can stand her ground even against the might of Giselle. As they say, some people are just born naturals & Liza is no exception. She was born to be shown & with hardly any training whatsoever she stays like a dog who's been in the ring for years on end. Suffice to say that she oozes with confidence yet still has a nice character & craves attention all the time and won't be tied you if you don't give it to her! Health wise she's very sound & has no problems negotiating the extreme heat we have at times here in Malta. Thank you very much Casimiro for such a fine exemplary dog.

.. rs and emerging superstars entered the league and took it by storm. Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Larry Bird revolutionized the NBA. Magic and Bird defined the new ideal basketball player as the "versatile big man". Both men, six feet – nine inches tall, combined their size with great shooting touch, outstanding ball handling, and tremendous passing.
Magic and Bird excited the crowds with their new styles and spectacular plays, as they influenced the rest of the league to change into a league based on their styles of play. More and more fans wanted to see this new style first hand, which garnered more revenue in the ticket office. Following the entrance of Magic and Bird was another individual who America immediately embraced. In the mid 1980s, Michael Jordan emerged as one of the most, if not the most exciting professional athlete ever to have competed in sports. His high-flying, acrobatic, and seemingly gravity-defying moves earned him such nicknames as Air Jordan and "Superman in Shorts".

Jordan's exciting style of play combined with his incredible talent for the game attracted great numbers of previously uninterested NBA fans. Many of these new fans did not care about the games; they just wanted to get a chance to see Michael Jordan in action. From the time that Jordan won the league's Rookie of the Year award for the 1984-1985 season, until the end of the '80s, the overall NBA attendance rose forty-seven percent; thus, the Chicago Bulls became the most popular road team in the league (Attendance). In addition, during this time, the NBA's gross revenues nearly doubled to $300 million dollars, and the average attendance rose almost four thousand per game to thirteen thousand four hundred twenty. The Chicago Bulls alone sold out more games in an eighteen month period from 1987-1988 than they had in their twentytwo year history. Almost single-handedly, Michael Jordan's fame had brought the league from being mocked as the National Buffoon Association in the beginning of the decade, to one of the most popular sports attractions by the end of the decade.
At this time, because the media foresaw monumental opportunities ahead from the NBA, they began to reward the league with large amounts of money. The growing interest in the NBA from fans and advertisers caused the networks to shower the league with money. In 1988, the NBA's revenue from television exceeded $130 million. The next year, Ted Turner paid $275 million to keep the NBA on Turner Network Television (TNT) for the next four years. Then, in late 1989, NBC outbid CBS, the network that had broadcasted the NBA for the past seventeen years.
CBS's last contract was a four-year, $173 million deal. However, NBC offered a new four-year deal worth $600 million. Although this seemed like a great risk for NBC, they were very confident in the NBA. As executive Vice President at NBC Sports, Ken Schanzer said, "Right now, we think the NBA can be enormously profitable for us." This confidence in the NBA continued throughout the 80s and continues in the 90s. However, todays fan not only wants to see Michael Jordan, but also enjoys the likes of Shaquille ONeal, Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson, and many more. It is evident that the players were, are, and will continue to be the reason why the owners grow wealthier.
Moreover, the NBA owners are not suffering financially, but insist on claiming poor and exercising their greed. Every NBA owner has more than enough money to pay these athletes what they want and deserve. A recent article by Forbes Magazine analyzes the entire money situation with all professional athletic teams. The article lists all NBA franchises and their total values. The Chicago Bulls ranked first at $303 million, the New York Knicks ranked second at $296 million, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked third at $268 million, and the Portland Trailblazers ranked fourth at $245 million. The last place franchise, the Milwaukee Bucks, was estimated at $94 million.
These values are relatively high and do not correspond to the owners claims of poverty. The article also ranked the revenues that each franchise earns annually based on previous statistics. The Portland Trailblazers ranked first with $34.2 million, the Detroit Pistons ranked second with $30 million, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked third with $24.8 million, and the Utah Jazz ranked fourth with $20.7 million. These figures show that owners are earning large amounts of money; enough to pay their players. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors reported that sixteen owners claimed losses in revenue last year.
Why does this math, not add up? It does not add up because owners do not report all their sources of revenue. According to Forbes, which states that only ten NBA franchises actually lost money, many owners discount revenue from corporate naming rights, advertising, luxury suites, and team merchandise stores. Two examples of this "fraud" are Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago Bulls, the Chicago White Sox, and the United Center, and Phillip Anschutz who owns the LA Lakers, the LA Kings, and the LA Clippers. Reinsdorf beats the system by excluding part of the revenue from United Center, the state of the arena that the Chicago Bulls call home. The United Center houses two hundred sixteen luxury suites that procure $12.7 million in revenue; sixty percent, or $7.6 million, of which he can exclude from revenue.
Phillip Anschutz is in the process of building a new arena in downtown Los Angeles. This new arena will house the Lakers, the Kings, and the Clippers. Staples Inc. is giving Anschutz $100 million over twenty years to put their name on the arena. The one hundred sixty luxury suites should accumulate $40 million in revenue and corporate advertising should gain $5 million in revenue; all of which Anschutz will credit to The Staples Center.
In addition to those revenues, the NBA and its television partners have agreed on a contract worth at least $2.4 billion over four years, more than double the current deal. The contract breaks down to at least $1.6 billion for NBC and $800 million for Turner Sports. Under the current four-year contract, which expires at the end of this season, NBC paid $750 million and Turner paid $350 million. This deal also included a revenue-sharing provision that will net the NBA additional revenue. It is a shame and a disgrace for NBA owners to be "tightfisted" with its players when it is evident that a plethora of money is available for contracts.
The owners of the National Basketball Association handle monumental amounts of money that can be evenly distributed amongst the players and themselves. There is not a reason why already half, and possibly, the whole season is in jeopardy of being lost. The Board of Directors and the NBAPA, NBA Players Association, need to research other professional athletic leagues and examine their respective collective bargaining agreements for ideas. For example, the National Football League enforces a complicated, but well thought out collective bargaining agreement. In their system, which expires in 2000, each NFL team is allowed to designate one franchise player and one transitional player within the years of the agreement.
Clubs retain exclusive negotiating rights to a franchise player by committing no later than Feb. 13 to a minimum offer of the average of the top five salaries at the player's position, or a twenty percent salary increase, whichever is greater. This offer must be presented before the end of the restricted free-agent signing period on April 14. Franchise players offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries at their position in the 1996 season were able to negotiate with other clubs. In the latter case, the original club may match the offer and retain the player or receive two first-round draft choices as compensation if the original club elects not to match.
A transition player designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match an offer sheet given to the player by another club. In addition to the transition player option of franchise designation, each club was permitted a total of three transition designations — two in 1993 and one in 1994. To designate a transition player, the club must offer a minimum of the average of the top ten salaries of 1996 at the player's position or a twenty percent salary increase, whichever is greater. This system, as well as others, seems to work well. The NBA needs to find a remedy for their problem so the players can do what they do best; PLAY BALL!.

" Sara Thompson is absolutely amazing. Answered every question I could think of and was so nice. Definitely ask for her when you go there! "
" Buying a car, can be intimidating for anyone. I found out recently, that I'm not the only woman to feel that way. The first car I bought for myself, was a Mazda 210. Baby Blue. The year was 1980. The sticker said $1600.00. Yes. Brand New. I know, because I was terrified to make such a purchase on my own. I thought, like a dress, or 10 Taco's for $1.00 with student ID, you just pay sticker. I loved that car. The years after that experience, other cars were purchased, but always a Team Family experience. It's now 2020. Fourty years after I bought my first car alone, I did it again. I wasn't as terrified as I was in 1980, but I was most definitely overwhelmed. Intimidated. I did a lot of searching, a lot of reading and met so many truly nice, helpful people, but still hadn't found IT. Earlier this month, I stopped by Toyota of Ashland. I'd driven by it a few times. Drove through the lot once. Found I couldn't get it out of my head. It was so clean. So beautifully designed. The cars so easy to see. Especially this one SUV. A RAV4. The day I got the nerve to stop and just look around, a lady walked up and asked if she could help me find my dream car. Sara Thompson, by the end of that day, had given me the confidence, the enthusiastic calm (odd words to put to together, I know) to walk out of the dealership that very evening as the owner of the second car I ever bought alone. I do not know how to Thank this lady enough. She took the intimidation away. This lady knew her cars, too. I didn't feel odd asking questions I probably should have just known answers to, either. Cars ARE a bit more like space shuttles today than simply fourty year old cars. So, Sara, on behalf of overwhelmed, intimidated women, like most of my friends, I have to Thank You. You and Toyota of Ashland have more than created a new customer, it feels more like a friendship. You don't often find the service and red carpet treatment I was afforded this month. If I have any influence at all with the many friends who have looked at my New RAV, I'd just like to publicly make sure they know your name. Simply put, if you're in the market, if you're just thinking about a new car, please stop by Toyota of Ashland. Ask for Sara Thompson. There's a chance though, that by the time you get out and look around the lot, she'll quietly be standing there, ready to answer every question and show you, your Dream Car. Thank You, Sara, for making this so easy. I LOVE this RAV4. As a tiny PS for anyone looking, make sure you ask for coffee. Toyota of Ashland, has their own little cafe. Ok, it just seems that way. "
" If you're as excited as I am to have a Toyota dealer back in the Ashland area then you need to go see Sara Thompson at Toyota of Ashland! She has much experience in car sales, loves the Toyota brand and it shows. She's the right person to get you in the right car at the right price. You can thank me later!!! "
" Scotty Johnson was awesome. Our entire experience at Toyota was great! They stayed open late and worked hard to reach a deal that led to us leaving with an awesome new car!! Thanks Scotty for hanging in there with us!!! "
" We had a wonderful experience at Toyota of Ashland. Brandon Smith was great to work with and made the vehicle buying process easy. We really like our Toyota Sienna and strongly recommend this dealership! "
" Love this new location! Great experience, great selection and Josh is great. Would highly recommend!! "
" Scotty Johnson is a true professional. He is the one you want to ask for if you want a superior customer experience. "
" Stopped by on my lunch hour to look around. Josh was really helpful in showing me a couple different Corolla options. They've come a long way since my first car-a 1987 Corolla. I like that I didn't feel pressured so I'll definitely be back when I have more time. "
" They were very nice and helpful "
" I was in a desperate need of an SUV. I went to every car lot in town, getting little to no help. I figured I would give it one last shot and pull into this dealership. I was on the verge of tears as this salesman approached me. I thought to myself "oh great, here comes another one of these lowlifes" Relief washed over me in an awesome wave as I realized this salesman actually cared about my situation. He ended up finding me the perfect SUV and also went above and beyond to figure out a payment plan that fit in my budget. I am so thankful I met Brandon Smith! If you want to be treated fairly, I recommend you ask to deal with him. "
" I highly recommend seeing Scotty! He was great at answering all my questions. The service was 100% and my overall experience was great! "
" This is by far the best Toyota I've been in. Clean facility and very friendly staff! If anyone is looking for a good quality experience with someone who pays attention to your needs, Scotty Johnson is your man! "
" My wife and I visited just to looks around, Scotty Johnson went above and beyond letting us test drive and look at anything we wanted to! I would definitely recommend him if you are looking to buy and used or new car, thanks Scotty! "
" Scotty Johnson is the man when it comes to getting you the best deal on buying a vehicle. Highly recommend him "
" Scotty Johnson was the greatest to deal with.. I had Ariella with me for over two hours ... very patient and explained everything.. I highly recommend all Toyota lovers to go see him or Facebook him "
" Scotty Johnson is the one you want! Get him and you won't regret it. Very helpful and honest, works with you and always there you need him. This is a great place very clean and great prices, can't beat it "
" Brandon Smith has the ability to make a customer feel comfortable with their next automotive purchase. Not aggressive and no tired old sales pitch. He gives you the information you need to make an informed purchase. He fields questions accurately and honestly and I recommend his assistance during your next car-shopping experience. Truly the consummate professional! "
" Great place to visit if you're in the market for a new vehicle. Brandon Smith is a fantastic salesman who makes sure his customers leave happy knowing they got the best deal possible! "

When We're Singin'..!
For four season in the early 1970s those of, er, limited critical facilities when it came to music were able to bop along to the adventures of the musical family Partridge. The band was made up of mother (Shirley Jones, famous for her roles in Oklahoma! and Carousel), Keith, the eldest son, played by David Cassidy (who was, in real-life, Jones's step son), eldest daughter Laurie (Susan Dey, later of LA Law fame) and several other offspring. The show followed the highjinx surrounding tours, musical performances and general family mayhem. As sitcoms go it was pretty standard fare, but some of the music was catchy enough and a few hits followed, propelling David Cassidy into the big time for a while. Naturally enough a hit show often leads to a comics spin-off, and sure enough Charlton Comics picked up the rights and published a series that ran for 21 issues, plus a few specials. The pin-up seen here was published in Teen Age Love #88 from 1972, and I'm imagining that those signatures don't really belong to Cassidy and Dey.
Following the demise of The Partridge Family, and the comic, again as was often the way in the 1970s, there was a cartoon spin-off that propelled the family into space, as unlikely as that seems! The Partridge Family 2200AD ran for just one season unsurprisingly, and had little or no involvement from the actors in the parent show — nor was there a comics version.
We might not have had American Idol or The X Factor back then, but, let me tell you, there were screaming girls aplenty — and rarely a dry seat in the house — whenever David Cassidy appeared.
