Paul won't rule out playing for Jordan's Bobcats


Paul won't rule out playing for Jordan's Bobcats: Charlotte - Chris Paul remembers every detail for the first time he met Michael Jordan. Now, calling him his mentor, could Paul decided to return home next year and make Jordan the boss?
Paul does not exclude it.
"It would certainly be something to think about," guard of New Orleans said Tuesday when asked about the potential to sign with Jordan owned the Charlotte Bobcats in 2012. "But now it's all about trying to win a championship here with the Hornets."
In a telephone interview with Associated Press to promote Jordan Brand Classic high school basketball All-Star Game on Saturday in Charlotte, Paul alternated praise for Jordan, while stressing that his concern is the Hornets' upcoming playoff first-round series.
"I'm one of those people who are trying to stay in the moment," Four-time All-Star point guard said.
But Paul, who has a contract with Nike Jordan shoes and apparel division, did not mind the memories of meeting Jordan for the first time Lewisville, NC, native played in the Jordan Brand Classic in 2003.
"We are prepared to take the team picture," said Paul. "I was sitting in one place (the current Los Angeles Lakers guard) Shannon Brown was in another place and middle seat was open. We knew, of course, MJ is going to go and sit there. When he entered, a man, he just took over in his room. And he really came up and knew my name. So what I will never forget.
"To have a personal relationship with him now for him to be a mentor, my, this is something where you grew up a child in North Carolina you never would have expected."
But will this be enough to give Jordan struggling Bobcats foot if explosive scorer decides to leave New Orleans? It was such an influence, Charlotte fans hoped would be six-time NBA champion, when he bought the team last year.
"I think the guys and want to play for Manchester United," said Paul. "Who better to learn?"
But until now, Jordan controlled mostly by spending cuts, including the transaction of February, that leaves only franchise All-Star, Gerald Wallace in Portland for two first-round draft picks. Bobcats then dropped out of playoff contention.
Jordan said the deal Wallace was aimed at creating the financial flexibility to enable them to strengthen the roster in the next few seasons.
"Now that he has a team that he, as a child in a candy store," said Paul Jordan. "He was so happy because he's one of those guys that no matter what, he can not get from the game."
As Paul will be the first big coup Jordan and Heath to help erase the decision taken by Bobcats in 2005, before the arrival of Jordan. Charlotte rejected the trade proposal to move up from number 5 in the draft. Paul then went to the Hornets at number 4.
"I thought about it later when I got drafted," said Paul-building game of ball in his home state. "But it feels like that was so long ago now."
Paul went through a lot, because of the Hornets' temporary relocation to Oklahoma City because of Hurricane Katrina on the knee injury last season in the NBA purchasing its financial difficulties the team.
Soon, Paul will decided where to continue his career.
"It's been tough to stay above water, but there's no complaints from me," Paul said of his time with the Hornets. "I'm just fortunate enough to be in the NBA."

Winklevoss Twins v. Facebook: Case Closed


Winklevoss Twins v. Facebook: Case Closed: Winklevoss twins have to deal with a $ 160 million from their dispute with the order, the appellate court said. Gemini is an epic argument with Mark Zuckerberg of the property that - in the Oscar-winning theatrical film "Social Networking" - must finally come to an end, the judge said.

Addition, it was decided in 2008 to settle a dispute that came up with an idea for a social network, giving Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss $ 20 million in cash and part ownership of Facebook. As of now estimated at about $ 50 billion, the settlement is now valued at more than $ 160 million.
"Winklevosses not the first party took over a competitor, who then try to get a court order that they were unable to reach the market," wrote Chief Judge Alex Kozinski in the decision. "And the courts can not Winklevosses was obliged to settle their disputes and signed release of all claims against it."

If you missed the "Social Networking", the original case against the fact (and Zuckerberg) was delivered in 2004 Winklevosses, along with his partner Divya Narendra. Twins and Narendra were the founders of ConnectU (originally called the Harvard Connection), as well as the social networking site.

In 2003, the ConnectU hired Zuckerberg to write code for their site, and a few weeks later, Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com. Twins claimed Zuckerberg copied their ideas and use the source code of your site.

But after a $ 65 million settlement in 2008, Winklevoss twins were not satisfied with their payment of Zuckerberg, so in December 2010, the twins have filed a new lawsuit to obtain additional compensation - leading to the ruling of the judge.

Inquirer Editorial: It began at Fort Sumter


Inquirer Editorial: It began at Fort Sumter: Charleston, April 12 - the ball was opened at the end, and the war was opened.
Batteries on Sullivan Island, Morris Island, and other locations that are open on Fort Sumter at 4 o'clock in the morning.

Fort Sumter returned fire, and a lively cannonade was constant.

You were alive 150 years ago in Philadelphia, you could read these words in the Inquirer in a dispatch reporting the outbreak of civil war.

Since the first boom of thousands of weapons ran out of bed in the harbor front, and all day all the available space was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, watching the play through his glasses.

Today, we wonder if the Charleston aristocrats, who may have used binoculars to watch the rebel bombing of the federal fort really understood what was happening before their eyes.

Bloody conflict, which began 150 years ago to divide the United States in such a way are still visible if you look close enough. War saved the Union, but it's not the end of the argument for states' rights, which remains the root of much political debate today.

Afro-Americans benefited the most from the war that led to their release. But more than a century later, they are still in the back of whites in almost every economy, health, or academic examination.

Lines can be drawn from the complicated statistics today on the legacy of discrimination, which was gray, but not yet cleared.

Nevertheless, racial discrimination has become a topic that little discussion in the corridors of power.

Politicians today seem to intimidate the public movement, he prefers not to discuss the causes of inequality, clearly fear that doing so would weaken the argument that cutting spending on the poor and infirm is the best way to keep the listing economic ship of the nation from falling.

From this viewpoint ignores the equally disturbing price does not adequately provide for our most vulnerable citizens.

It also gives a pass to military spending, which, at more than $ 700 billion in 2009 (including expenditures for Iraq and Afghanistan operations), more than this country has ever spent time in a year, even during the Second World War or conflict in Korea and Vietnam.

In fact, reductions in military spending can be a good way to commemorate the war 150 years ago that was not the most expensive in dollars, but in life and how he tore the nation.

Our today pale in comparison. Some states, like on the brink of schism. They want to go their own way on immigration, abortion, gay marriage and other social issues. But no state government has threatened to take up arms to fight for their rights.

1. Planned way forward, confident in the success of a bulldog, and bought tickets to events at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, essentially sold out in July.

But it was the cheapest seats, standing-room-only hinder vision. Lower level, center ice tickets were sold at higher than $ 1200 every Wednesday.

Each of the four schools in the frozen four received 600 tickets for its fans. UMD officials have sold their allocation for several hours, resulting in many Bulldog fans in the lurch.

"Our phones started ringing cash before our team left Bridgeport, Conn., where the Bulldogs won a regional playoff," said Bill Wade, UMD Provost for University Relations.

Craigslist's Murderer May Be A Policeman Or A Soccer Parent


Craigslist's Murderer May Be A Policeman Or A Soccer Parent: New details in the Long Island Craigslist Killer case have surfaced that will leave anyone living remotely near the quiet barrier island community that has a become a body dumping ground with a serious case of the shivers. Investigators looking into the murders of at least 8 and as many as 13 prostitutes so far have come up with a partial profile of a suspect, and the findings are downright scary.

This type (most serial murderers are male) does not seem to be the average of more than half of wit, socially inept light life in the underworld of crime and opportunity. But now the police think may be very intelligent and apparently normal. You might even get married, have two children, maybe football or volunteer with the Rotary Club or other civic group. And depending on how it seems to be covering their tracks, which can even be a cop or someone who has worked in law enforcement now or in the past.

In other words, it could be your neighbor!

I know the police do not want to sound the alarm. Do not panic, because this type is calculated and is specifically targeting the prostitutes that they know. Somehow that makes it better. The fact that this guy could be anyone, especially someone in a profession that is supposed to protect people from all walks of life, is of concern for the soul.

The shocking news comes after several clues to the murderer the police have taken over the course of their investigation. This is the cause of death for all victims contacted through Craigslist gives them the hope of being able to track suspected cases of electronic packaging and quickly. But this does not seem common criminal. According to a report in the Daily Mail, the murderer used disposable mobile phones to contact and found the four victims were found in December.

One such victim, Melissa Barthelemy, who died in July 2009. Soon after, he disappeared, this is a sick and twisted individual made harassing calls to her six sisters crowded places like Times Square and Madison Square Garden, saying things like "?. You know what your sister is doing him a whore"

All calls lasted less than three minutes, short enough so that the officials to trace his exact position. Calling the crowded New York, where the points for mobile phones all the debates, he was able to prevent one-sided from the cameras.

Prostitutes are often victims of serial killer choice because they are available, ready, slow, missing in action, if at all, and - unfortunately, many people believe that - disposable. The police, who may be involved in such work in the girls every day can feel this way more than others.

Meanwhile, police continue to comb the Suffolk County beach where the four recent bodies were found and have even expanded their search to include Nassau County. But that might be only the beginning. Police are also looking into whether four Atlantic City prostitutes murdered and dumped along marshland in New Jersey a few years ago are linked to the recent case.

NATO: We Do Not Know The Libyan Rebels Used Cylinders


NATO: We Do Not Know The Libyan Rebels Used Cylinders:  BRUSSELS – NATO acknowledged Friday that its airstrikes had hit rebels using tanks to fight government forces in eastern Libya, saying no one told them the rebels used tanks.
British Admiral Russell Smith, deputy commander of the NATO operation, said that in the past, the only forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi Libyan strong had used heavy weapons.
Harding said that the rebels and government forces engaged in a series of advances and retreats to the east and the coastal towns of Brega Ajdabiya, making it difficult for pilots to distinguish.
NATO aircraft attacked a rebel convoy between the two cities on Thursday, killing at least five fighters and destroying or damaging several armored vehicles.
"It seems that two of our strikes in the past, can lead to (rebels) dead," Harding said the Naples, home to the operational center of the coalition.
"I do not apologize," he said. "The situation on the ground was and remains extremely fluid, and until yesterday we have no information on the forces (rebels) are using tanks ".
Strikes, including an attack earlier this week, has provoked angry denunciations of NATO by the rebels. At the same time, NATO officials have expressed frustration with the rebels in Libya, who now see the alliance, whose mandate is limited to protecting civilians in Libya, the representation of the air force.
NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, however, expressed regret at the loss of life, saying the alliance forces are doing everything possible to avoid harming civilians.
NATO last week took control of international air strikes began March 19 as a mission under U.S. command. The air attacks thwarted efforts to crush the rebellion of Gaddafi in North African countries, who ruled for more than four decades, but the rebels outnumbered and outgunned, and had trouble pushing the territory held by the government, even with air support.
Harding said Friday that NATO jets had carried out 318 operations and hit all 23 targets in Libya in the past 48 hours. They flew over 1,500 missions and eight days after the Union has assumed responsibility for the overall command of the US-led forces.
NATO jets have destroyed missiles Qaddafi's anti-aircraft defense, the T-72 tanks and ammunition depots, Harding said. The attacks also targeted Gaddafi troops besieged the city supporter Misurata, where rebels continue to hold.
Critics have questioned the strategy of NATO but not limited to protect civilians threatened by Gaddafi's troops, instead of trying to completely eliminate the threat to destroy the regime stronger.
"By not hitting the regime from the beginning, Qaddafi has been the initiative to integrate its forces into urban areas of hiding behind human shields in a guerrilla war," said Barack Sene, a researcher in the Middle East Institute Royal United Services, a British military group tank.
"A no-fly zone is not equipped to deal with the guerrillas or a dead end that puts rebels and loyalists close to each other." said
Despite the attacks on anti-aircraft sites remaining forces Gaddafi threatens NATO planes. They maintain the radars and surface to air missiles and automatic cannon and shoulder-launched missiles that can hit aircraft at an altitude of 5,000 meters (15,000 feet).
During the last week, Gaddafi's forces had changed tactics, moving away from its heavy armor and using only trucks armed with heavy machine guns and the firing rate of anti-aircraft guns in the first line and between Brega Ajdabiya. These have proved very effective in disrupting the repeated attempts to push the rebels to the west of Tripoli but Gaddafi forces has not been able to drive the rebels to Benghazi or establish a solid line in this sector.
"These trucks can not hold ground," said Smith. "When you see their tanks happens, these vehicles can cause the most harm to civilians."
On Thursday, the situation in this sector is very confusing, cars come and go, "he said.

Selling New York’ Recap


Selling New York’ Recap: This week on Selling New York, the Kleiers are trying to find a recently married couple, the Flanders, a new property. They’re selling their current apartment for $3.3 million. The husband bought the property with his first wife, but he and his new wife have been living there for some time. The couple is looking for an apartment that’s a bit bigger because they have four children.

Barbara Orbison, widow of Roy Orbison, is looking for an apartment with Warburg. She is located in New York in search of a property for rent. The first department to look is in the business district, but to find a rental will certainly be a challenge. Barbara enjoys the view in the apartment. The house is unique because it appears to be leather on floors and walls. The rent is $ 10,000 per month, and Barbara still want to see other properties.

Kleiers begin to appear in Flanders, in some apartments. The first property is $ 3,500,000. This function is very high ceilings, wooden floors and comfortable. They keep their house, but have expressed interest in the position to rent rather than buy one yourself.

Barbara and head Realtor Warburg Tribeca apartment to another. The apartment has stunning views to the east with lots of light passing through windows. Barbara loves the layout of the apartment and many functions it has to offer. She is much happier with what the polling day, on this occasion they have seen the day before.

The Klei take clients to view properties for rent. We visit a house that costs $ 13,000 per month. Flanders love the marble floors and views of the house. They like it because the rent is paid in taxes per month, so if you could sell your current floor, would be an excellent choice.

Barbara Orbison is looking for a Tribeca loft later. The ceilings are nearly 20 feet long and costs $ 9,000 per month. The light in this apartment is also good, but it is not love cooking. Eventually, Barbara decides that such a provision is not his, though.

Kleier The Flanders try to sell current property. They have problems with cooking, but because they believe it is fixed in order to sell the property. They decide that maybe the best solution would be to reduce the price of the apartment.

At Warburg, Deborah just talked to a realtor colleagues. They decide that Deborah should go flat Barbara Barbara research because it can not decide what to do, and I think Deborah if you spend more time looking for rental housing will be a loss of personal time.

The Kleier has decided to request $ 3,100,000 to the apartment of Flanders, and, therefore, someone decided to make an offer when the opportunity to fix the kitchen is at hand. With the sale of their apartment in time, he began to think of Flanders where they want to live next door.

This view was shared by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., Who predicted that it was "highly unlikely" for government employees to replace the Congress at this time.

"There will be disruptions in our economy throughout the line," said Moran, whose district includes suburbs of Washington, thousands of government employees.

At least one House Republicans dismissed those concerns. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla. He said he is not interested in punishment and vote for federal employees to pay for lost wages.

"In my opinion, the federal government workers, their children and families who do not (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid and Barack Obama think that the closure of a good policy," said Ross, who considers himself like a tea party Republican.

Spokesperson for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, did not respond to requests for comment.

different effects on arrest, depending on where the government is working, have drawn criticism. Under the law, Obama and the legislature will continue to draw salaries, even if the government shuts down.

Sen. Joe Manchin, DW.Va. said the legislature should not be paid if the impasse between the Congress and the arrest of Obama forces. He promised to donate salary to charity or return it to the SU Treasury. And Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, that he did not accept his salary off the Federal Government.

According to the Federal Office for professional management, almost all public employees be placed on the permit decision, except for some workers who provide emergency services or for other work considered essential. Employees who are working under an exception could obtain compensation for hours worked after Congress passed - and signed by the president - the new legislation to fund the government.

But Congress should take a separate decision on whether workers may not need to pay back. When the arrests in 1995 and 1996 ended, Congress passed the pay back so quickly that federal employees never missed a paycheck.

Closing in November 1995, lasted six days and about 800,000 employees placed on leave public. The next partial closure lasted three weeks, from mid-December 1995 and early January 1996, and set off some 240,000 workers.

Thousands of employees of state government have been placed on leave without pay during the last year to relieve the state budget problems. In California, for example, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered state employees to take two days off without pay each month in 2009 and later extended leaves of three days per month.

Why not government employees to take a shot like that? Kelley, chairman of the Trade Union Confederation of Workers' says federal employees are simply spectators caught in the middle of a political dispute, not be able to calculate a plan to save money.

"This is not a budget that tries to cut costs on vacation," she said. "This is a situation where the parties can not agree on a budget. Rather than stepping up and making their work, they just choose to do something and stop the fall of the government. "

Poll: Few Confident U.S. Ready In Case Of Nuclear Emergency


Poll: Few Confident U.S. Ready In Case Of Nuclear Emergency: WASHINGTON - Most Americans doubt that the U.S. government is prepared to respond to a nuclear emergency, such as Japan, according to a new survey of Associated Press-GfK. But it also shows few Americans believe in such an emergency.
However, the disaster has turned most Americans against new nuclear power plants. The survey found that 60 percent of Americans oppose building nuclear power plants. E 'was 48 percent opposed it on the AP-Stanford University poll in November 2009.
Associated Press-GfK poll is concerned, Japan is still struggling for the nuclear energy crisis caused by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant has been leaked radiation into the environment and spill radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean. Japanese strong aftershock shook, and a tsunami warning system on Thursday, but officials reported no immediate signs of new problems.
The study concludes that about one quarter of respondents were very confident that the U.S. government is prepared to handle a nuclear emergency, while nearly three quarters had little or no shelter.
But many people in such an emergency will happen in this country.
About three in 10 think such an emergency situation is extremely or very likely, compared with seven in 10 who think that only little or not at all likely. Among those who think that the disaster is very likely, almost eight out of ten do not trust the government would be ready.
They also do not believe that it is not too likely or not likely to happen, almost two-thirds still lacked the confidence to be ready.
Nancy Hall of Long Beach, California, said the Japanese crisis has not soured on nuclear energy.
'Well, even if the disaster in Japan, I think that nuclear power is still a lot of advantages to fossil fuels, "he said and stressed that nuclear energy, unlike oil, does not funnel money" in the Middle East dictators " and not as polluting coal-burning power plants.
"You must keep in mind that the issuer of gas and coal steadily, day after day, and we do not even think about it," she said.
Hall, 36, a linguistics professor, lives in a four-hour drive of two nuclear plants, but said he is not worried so much.
"I hope the Government is carefully considering how to protect them," said "But honestly, nuclear energy is not at the top of my list of concerns." A more immediate concern:. The office building is not anti-seismic.
The survey shows that nearly a quarter of Americans live within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor. Those who reported living within 50 miles of a nuclear plant are not significantly more or less inclined to trust the government's ability to manage a nuclear disaster.
Those who live near nuclear power plants were less likely to strongly oppose the construction of nuclear power plants than those living farther. In total, four out of 10 who live more than 50 miles from a plant is strongly opposed to new construction, compared to three in 10 who say they live within 50 miles of a plant.
U.S. government regulators to consider the safety of the nation's 104 nuclear reactors in Japan, in the wake of the crisis. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it would review the plant's ability to protect themselves against natural disasters and terrorist attacks, the perfect answer to deal with power outages and accidents of spent fuel, among other things.
NRC says U.S. nuclear power plants continue to operate safely.
Kelli Hughes is still at Brookhaven, New York, concerns about nuclear energy, which is the toxic threat. Hughes, 33, owns an online business and live on less than 80 km from nuclear power plants in New York and Connecticut. He said he strongly opposed the construction or expansion of nuclear power plants.
"We need to think what will the environment when we're done with it," he said, referring to nuclear waste. "Look what is happening now in Japan," he added. Radioactive waste 'escape and is toxic. "
Once the land is contaminated by nuclear waste, "can not use," said Hughes, "Kill all -. Earth, air, water around."
Damian Padua Chicopee, Massachusetts, said he is skeptical that renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy can produce the country's electricity needs. Padua, 32, a printer, said the U.S. government and citizens tend to be overcome in the case of a nuclear disaster.
But after the initial shock, said he was confident the authorities and the public rally.
"I think we have the resources needed to enable everyone," he said. "I think we can do better than it really is in Japan."

Who Will Replace Matt Lauer On NBC?


Who Will Replace Matt Lauer On NBC? Now that the cat's out of the bag on Matt Lauer's 2012 departure via a sensational scoop Wednesday night at ETonline, the obvious question becomes — who can replace him?

NBC, the answer is clear: no.

Possible alternatives include Willie Geist, Al Roker and David Gregory. None of them could take place Matt. Geist has a long way to go before viewers know and are familiar with him, and at the end of this long process, there is no guarantee they will. Gregory has not exactly lit on stage in "Meet the Press" and I suspect that viewers of "Today" does not like anyway. And "like" is a big part of that equation.

Finally, Al: Never, not now, not millions of years. All artists such as Al, but also many years of antics and silly costumes, and is a resident prankster have effectively removed it, and also the suggestion seriously. So out.

Lester Holt? Why not get Lester Holt named on these lists? Good question, and I suppose the answer is that NBC did not give his name. So good and solid as Holt is, he lacks that vital loose and easily beats the jurisdiction of a "Today" host must have. It is solid - and a good and smart and all those beautiful things. But the tune that personality deficient. And that's just how it goes.

Carl Quintanilla CNBC? There is a possible candidate, but as in "Today" public know? Again - it takes years to groom a successor, not weeks or months.

Who's left? Sorry. None. David Bloom if he were alive, would be the heir apparent, and the weekend "Today" anchor, which was clearly the get-go.

smart person told me to keep an eye on this question: who will replace Ann Curry, if you feel more of Meredith Vieira, as many expect? Reason: the person who replaces him, probably a man, is the person who replaces Matt. Do not forget - Matt was news again from -94, and had three good years long (but it was also a "Today in New York), before moving to

The fact is that, replacing Matt did three long years. He has one year and eight months. It is a nod in terms of "Today."

Anderson has taken bail for his wife but did not speak with reporters afterwards.

"Columbine" incident is not the first time that Milo is in trouble at Fort Hamilton High School. E 'was removed from class last year, when he was a physical confrontation with a student, authorities said.

Eshimbaeva was transported to a local hospital where she was treated and released. The victim was aged 15 suffered burns to his head, but was spared more serious injury because the acid thrown on her was highly diluted with water, authorities said.
After the attack, the reports stressed that the incident was due to a dispute the two girls, during which a man early '20s, they both liked.
"There was a lot of stories about it. But it was not the boy. It had nothing to do with it," said Dep. Insp. Eric Rodriguez, commander of the area.
Both girls are honor students at Fort Hamilton, and both were cadets at junior high school ROTC program. Smsarian ROTC was in uniform when she left the court after his indictment.

"17 Day Diet" Promises Drastic Weight Loss: Does It Deliver?


"17 Day Diet" Promises Drastic Weight Loss: Does It Deliver? Well, the "17-Day Plan," which seems to blend with caloric restriction numerology, it says it can. And many TV shows including "Dr. Phil", "The Doctors" and "Good Morning America" ​​seems to have bought
The meal plan includes four cycles of 17 days each. Also recommend walking 17 minutes a day, and we assume many other activities perfectly normal that somehow reinforced by the number 17.
Why is 17 the magic number?
Dr. Michael Moreno, the creator of the diet, wants to change the routine every 17 days prevents the body from getting used to the diet and avoiding the dreaded weight loss plateau.
"There is scientific evidence that is sought, Moreno said Dr. Phil." We call it confusion metabolic or body. "
But some experts wonder what research has studied.
"His theory of calorie reduction and exercise will help you lose weight, but there is no evidence that the metabolism of the mix of aid," said dietitian Marisa Jerez CBS News.
Sherry also questioned some of the rules of the diet of other bizarre as the absence of carbohydrates or fruit, 14:00 "There is no evidence that certain times of day when the body loses its ability to digest carbohydrates," she says.

Golden State Warriors Stun The Lakers In Los Angeles

Golden State Warriors Stun The Lakers In Los Angeles Of course:  the Warriors beat the Lakers. "

The Warriors have already been removed from the playoffs have nothing to lose. They can play loosey goose, but their opponents, who are still fighting for playoff position, all the pressure.

That explains the 95-87 victory Wednesday against the Lakers, is not it? This explains how the soldiers are mostly dominated by the team many consider the best of the Western Conference, right?

Warriors forward David Lee does not buy the "no pressure" explanation. He said the Warriors streak of three consecutive victories in the team playoff bound, is a product of things that are starting to enter a place for soldiers.

"For me, pressure is no different," said Lee, who finished 22 points, 17 rebounds and five-speed transmission. "We were on the outside looking in the past four months. It's not as if we were in fifth place and dropped it. All the great games of the time. If we want to be in the playoffs or not, this is a playoff atmosphere."

The Warriors, as they did in their handling of the machine of Portland at night, seen as relaxed as can be in the final.

The main reason for the recent success of the game Lee. His last three games - against Dallas, Portland and the Lakers - he averaged 22.3 points and 15 rebounds. Its chemical protection of Monta Ellis, who finished with 26 points and six assists, has improved considerably. Lee and defense much better, just ask Dirk Nowitzki and LaMarcus Aldridge, and even the great man limping Lakers Pau Gasol, who finished with 18 points and seven rebounds in just 27 minutes.

Although the bad shot 38.7 percent for the game, they were still under the control of most of the night. Went to the Lakers to 42.9 percent shooting, despite all of Kobe Bryant 25 points in 10 of 20 pitches. They outrebounded the Lakers again, despite the city center Andrew Bynum 13 points and 17 rebounds.

As expected, Bryant led the Lakers to "Run." He became a three-point play to cut the lead to 88-78 Warriors. Moments later, went all the way to the edge of your downtime, giving it seven straight points and cut the Warriors lead 90-82 with two minutes.

Bryant scored 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. But the Warriors are judgments, they are necessary, rebounds, they usually do not get to the basket, they sometimes try to find it.

"We're starting to gel a bit," said Lee. "Things are starting to fall into place."

Things fell into place Wednesday evening.

Within a minute, and the Warriors needed a bucket to seal the victory, guard Stephen Curry weave their way through the Lakers defense. It was in the paint, but Bynum between him and the basket.

So Curry, who missed the first 15 shots to 22, are displayed on the ceiling scraping floating above Bynum. All net.

And it looks easy.

Finally. It took him 15 shots, but forward Dorell Wright finally set the Warriors' record for 3-pointers made in a season, passing the mark set by Jason Richardson.

At the 2:12 mark of the third quarter, Wright took a pass from Curry and drilled a 3-pointer from the left corner, his 184th of the season. Before that one, he had missed 14 straight.
Wright finished 2-for-8 from 3-point range and now has 185 on the season with four games left.

"Extreme Coupon Review: A Strange People, Selfish, Cakes, Or Frugal?


"Extreme Coupon Review: A Strange People, Selfish, Cakes, Or Frugal? Extreme coupons, which premiered on TLC, provoked some extreme reactions. Some reviewers and audiences despised show as an example of obsessive self-interest. Others admire the ingenuity of buyers who are able to reduce the $ 1000 plus grocery bill to just over $ 100.

I think it shows an example of the cunning of two floating around the country at this time. The behavior of extreme passion first, is filtered through the reality, if we are talking about people who have many children (hello, the Duggar family) or stuff their bodies with a large quantity of drugs (hello, the intervention and relapse). Second, the fact that many people do not have as much money as they did. It's the economy, stupid!

Of course, some coupons Extreme Storage on what they do not need, like the guy who admitted he did not eat mustard, even when his wife bought dozens of bottles of things. But this is how television works these days: People see The Biggest Loser and, at best, perhaps understanding how and a little inspiration for losing weight. It is undesirable programming, but it attaches to the belt of useful information.

The same applies to Extreme coupons. If, while gawping at people who spend their lives cleaning trash cans to complete the newspaper coupons, the viewer will learn to reduce the grocery bill from office for a family who is ill? Leisure and free (ish) food.

I will not lie: I will not add coupons Extreme on my DVR schedule. But I'm also not going to discount if you pardon the expression, pulses, and in some cases, the needs that inspire his popularity.

Glenn Beck, When The Fox


Glenn Beck, When The Fox The news that Glenn Beck Fox left for other projects to FOX, I suppose, is one of those things that just do not comment on in both directions, as someone who does not incite political violence in a sports site. But I can say this: under Beck is in the public eye, the less I hear about Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa relay Beck "restore honor" rally last year. This is not unalloyed good news.

Like Luke Scott's recent birther-flavored comments and, further back, Carlos Delgado's anti-war stance and the subsequent media hubbub, what bothered me most about the Beck/La Russa connection wasn't that baseball players have opinions, it's that baseball fans do. Sports communities like this one are themselves a social world, with positions and arguments and heated debates, but at their best there's always the underlying truism that, say, the people at Game Time are Blues hockey fans, and the people at Viva El Birdos, no matter what else they do in life, fans of Cardinals baseball.

When politics gets in an argument otherwise-innocuous that the social contract is broken. We are not only more sports fans are Democrats and Republicans and religious groups and atheists and one thing against another division, and is not something that Smalltalk related infrastructure is built to manage sports, like everyone else with a large family can confirm .

Good luck, Glenn Beck, but whatever you do with the rest of your life, please keep baseball out of it. places are like tables, arguing is fine, but politeness can be stretched permanently when it ceases to be food.

Netflix File: April 6, 2011


Netflix File: April 6, 2011 Netflix working files to find hidden treasures Netflix watch instantly feature films and series that have gone largely unnoticed by the community streaming.

This weekend, a new play by Arthur Russell Brand is set to hit theaters. The trailer for the film paints a typical part of the brand - Arthur Bach's extremely rich, difficult son festival (basically Aldous Snow). This is his signature character, and this time she shops Jonah Hill in a new, slightly marked with a human right: Helen Mirren.

casual viewer will ignore the fact that Arthur is a remake. This is unfortunate because the original is one of the most influential sitcoms of all time. For example, he showed that lewd, drunk ugly can make a nice comic hero. In other words, "Russell Brand" label would never have existed if not for Arthur Dudley Moore.

Arthur was launched in 1981 to rave reviews (RottenTomatoes assessment: 89% charge), a Golden Globe for best comedy, and four Oscar nominations (including two that won). This is a smart, sweet and hysterical really, even thirty years later. Arthur is about as perfect as comedy can get - so of course, Hollywood is ready to repeat the crap out of him.

Dudley Moore (1935-2002) was a British import, a small and very busy actor, who became an icon after the movie. Because some students took their time here, there are two types of alcohol in each of the parties: the merry and a little boring. Unless an actor in the role of Arthur Bach may have destroyed the party as a whole. However, Moore nails every scene, whether joking with the prostitutes dressed in lycra or delivery orders absurd your bathroom.

Land of Arthur, when he meets around Manhattan, losing $ 750000000 for his family fortune to all those who entertain. E 'held at the arranged marriage and a beautiful heiress of a small, but the duration of the plan, when you fall in love with Linda, small shops Queens (played by Oscar and Arrested Development alum Liza Minnelli).

Shakespeare the actor John Gielgud won an Oscar for the role of originating Hobson, an English butler intelligent and surrogate father, Arthur. The relationship between Arthur and Hobson is the basis for the film, and takes the viewer by surprise with its profound emotional resonance in the second act.

So if you're in the mood to laugh this weekend, do not have to distribute $ 10 + to see Russell Brand's new film (if not hop, and in this case we can not do).
