Newcastle United 2011 / 2012 Season Review – Part Two – Conclusion.

NUFC Season Review – Part One.
Following on from part one of Newcastle United's 2011 / 2012 season review, we begin at the start of the new year with a home tie against Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.
Scousebound! Newcastle United vs Liverpool match preview.
Date: Sunday, 1st April, 2012.
Well, Newcastle United might well be going into this fixture feeling more confident than they have for quite some time against the reds of Merseyside.
King Kenny's men have lost their last two Premiership games, and they were against Premiership bottom feeders, Wigan and QPR, to boot. They have lost no less five of their last six Premiership games, though the other one was a 3-0 victory over local rivals, Everton, with a hat-trick from Steven Gerrard. This very poor run, especially by their usual standards, leaves them eight points behind us in the table in seventh, with an ever decreasing amount of games to catch up.

BREAKING: Son Of Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry Dead At 36
Marion "Christopher" Barry's family told NBC 4 News that his death was drug-related.
By: Kellee Terrell
BREAKING: Marion Christopher Barry, son of former mayor, has died from a drug overdose, according to family.https://t.co/Kd9bn2YwjU
— NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) August 14, 2016
Marion "Christopher" Barry Jr., son of the late D.C. mayor with the same name, has died from a drug overdose, his stepmother Cora Masters Barry, confirmed to NBC 4 Washington News. Barry was only 36-years-old and the only son of Marion Barry Sr. and Effie Barry.
According to WUSA News, Barry was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.
Barry Jr. dabbled in politics, running for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2015 after his father, Marion Barry, died in 2014. But he lost that race coming in 6th.
As we know, Marion Barry Sr. served as the mayor of Washington, D.C. from 1979 to 1991 and 1995 to 1999 and a council member for three terms. Yet it was Barry Sr.'s struggles with drugs that made him a controversial figure when he was caught on tape and arrested by the FBI on crack cocaine charges in 1990, NBC noted.
Barry Jr. also had his share of problems with the law, starting in 2005 with a misdemeanor assault charge for resisting arrest, NBC noted. He also faced drug-related charges in 2011, 2013 and 2014. And in 2015, Barry made news again after having an outburst at a local bank, where he tried to withdraw $20,000, but his account was overdrawn. He was sentenced to 12 months probation.
We send the Barry family our deepest condolences.

Coming in 2023 to Yonge St, the YSL Residences have a variety of layouts and view choices for discriminating urbanites who value urban renewal and want to be part of the revitalization. With the developer's great reputation, the architect's renown, and the historic location, the condo is a formula for success. The imposing glass structure of the YSL Residence will house 957 luxury suites and a plethora of retail and business services in the adjacent podium. The iconic tower is the epitome of modern design and architectural magnificence. Its verticality will be a focal point of the region, if not the entire city.
The assets of the residences are many as expected in a soaring 98-storey residential tower with adjacent retail and business occupants. Satisfying every need is built into the plan. The final structure will include a breathtaking spacious lobby, a full-time concierge, ample communal areas such as a restaurant, bar, and lounge. Terraces are provided in strategic places due to the stepback exterior design. Inside, a fully-equipped fitness centre and spa, catering kitchen, game room and theatre beckon residents to enjoy their day. At night they can stroll the lively streets in search of casual and fine eateries, clubs, cinemas, and other entertainment venues. At any time, they can wander through nearby parks and green spaces and avail themselves of the many recreational facilities in the region.
The hallmark of the residences' design is linear perfection and geometric modernism. All expected high-end materials and finishes will be on full display. The clever use of condo space means that one, two, and three-bedroom units will accommodate every lifestyle with ease. In each, a focus on city or lake views is the height of urban luxury. In addition, spa-like bathrooms and gourmet kitchens, complete with state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures, populate the suites with a distinct contemporary flavor.
The open concept design of the condo offers residents in all sizes of units a comfortable living space. Evidence of luxury details is everywhere apparent. High ceiling add to the expansive feel. A quick express elevator ride takes you to the street where shops and restaurants beckon. Whether you are inside or out, a rich urban experience is at your feet. For other possibilities, mass transit will take you to any district you like. Special features built into the residences make it the perfect destination for urban professionals, couples, and families alike. Each will find what they need with ease.
Located at 383 Yonge St, this 98-storey tower condo in Downtown Toronto is sure to be a landmark in an historic area known for its quaint brick buildings and storefronts. The Church-Yonge corridor will never be the same when construction is complete on the YSL Condo Residences. The location is perfect for a residential/commercial mixed-use complex that will add population to the area and a definite boost to the local economy.
The area around the residences not only has a transit score of 97 out of a possible 100 but boasts of a perfect walking score as well. Mass transit is important to the citizens of Toronto and the new tower will be within easy reach of PATH, the College and Bloor-Yonge subway stations, and a TTC bus stop. It had all been carefully taken into consideration when the project was first initiated.
With the residences being located on Yonge Street, it is the epitome of convenience and ease given the proximity of shops, restaurants, recreation, entertainment, parks, markets, and more. The Eaton Centre, College Park, the Paul H Crocker Gallery, the University of Toronto are in the vicinity, with the Ryerson University Learning Centre conveniently adjacent.
The enormous rising tower of the YSL Residences Condos is by Cresford developers and architects, designed by Toronto's architectsAlliance and Kohn Pedersen Fox of New York. The builder is known for quality construction and groundbreaking design within the downtown core for urbanites with the dream of living close to work. A project of this stature is typical of Cresford's achievements and it is clear that major talent has contributed to its conceptual success. Modern innovation is changing the face of the city thanks to developers of this caliber. Sleek elegance and linear refinement make the YSL tower and mixed-use adjacent space the epitome of urban revitalization.

About Better
Better operates over 250 facilities across the UK including Gyms, Swimming pools, Leisure facilities, Libraries and community spaces.
In 1993, Greenwich Council needed to find a new way to run its leisure centres because of public spending cuts and together, we came up with a new model. The first of its kind in UK leisure. GLL was born.
Seven centres were transferred to us, and success quickly followed. We created jobs and added new services to existing leisure centres. Since then, we've built lots of new facilities in the UK and our membership has gone from about 7,000 to more than 650,000 with 40 million visitors a year.
In 1996, we began expanding outside Greenwich and now run all kinds of community services and spaces across the UK.
We exist to make community services and spaces better for everyone. That means providing access to quality community leisure and fitness facilities - and more - at a price everyone can afford. We already manage more than 250 public sport and leisure centres, 57 libraries in partnership with more than 30 local councils, public agencies and sporting organisations, and we're adding more all the time.
We're a charitable social enterprise, which means we work for the benefit of everyone: the public, the communities we work in, the environment, our staff and our partners. As a result, we're proud to be the first leisure operator in the UK to be awarded both the Social Enterprise Mark and the Prime Minister's Big Society Award.

Webinar - 510(k) Third Party Review Program: Final Guidance
Printable Slides
On April 16, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will host a webinar for device manufacturers, 3P510K Review Organizations, and industry to discuss and answer questions about the 510(k) Third Party Review Program final guidance.
On March 11, 2020, the FDA issued final guidance: 510(k) Third Party Review Program. In addition, the FDA is updating the list of devices eligible for review under the 510(k) Third Party Review Program. Through these actions, the FDA has enhanced and strengthened the 510(k) Third Party Review Program for the benefit of the patient while the standard for FDA's medical device review has been maintained.
The final guidance
Describes the factors the FDA uses to determine device type eligibility for review by Third Party Review Organizations (3P510k Review Organizations);
Outlines the FDA's process for the recognition, rerecognition, suspension, and withdrawal of recognition for 3P510k Review Organizations; and
Ensures consistent quality of work among 3P510k Review Organizations through the Medical Device User Fee Amendments (MDUFA) IV commitments authorized under FDARA to eliminate the need for routine, substantive re-review by the FDA.
Key features of the 510(k) Third Party Review Program
Clarifies expectations for 3P510k Review Organizations of how to meet the FDA's standard for 510(k) eligible product review, which in turn is intended to eliminate the need for routine, duplicative re-reviews of certain information by FDA staff. The Third Party Review Program is intended to support CDRH's mission to protect and promote public health by enabling FDA to focus its internal scientific review resources on higher-risk and complex devices, while maintaining a high degree of confidence in the review of low-to-moderate risk and less complex devices by 3P510k Review Organizations.
Greater utilization of the voluntary Third Party Program allows the FDA to expedite patient access to certain low-to-moderate risk and less complex devices, without changing our statutory or data requirements, by reducing agency review times to 30 days or less.
Provides manufacturers an efficient, consistent and predictable process to request review of 510(k) submissions by accredited, FDA recognized organizations; and
Leverages high quality, FDA-equivalent reviews for low-to-moderate risk and less complex devices to improve the FDA's overall productivity and enable us to focus more of our time and resources on evaluating applications for more complex devices.

Needs to add more polish to his routes to open wider throwing windows. Can be redirected and thrown off course by press coverage. Takes time to ramp back up to desired play speed when defenders get hands on him. Won't flash the desired quickness and foot speed to get himself open underneath. Won't light it up after the catch.
Tall receiver lacking blazing speed but showcasing enough acceleration to create separation when challenging upfield. Conley displays a natural feel for the position and has hand strength and body control to make tough, contested catches. Lacked gaudy numbers in run-heavy Georgia offense, but his productivity per catch will certainly be noticed by NFL teams -- especially if he has good timed speed at the NFL Scouting Combine.


From Kotobukiya. Kotobukiya's Marvel Comics ARTFX+ series has brought you a range of characters, from the Avengers to the XMen, Defenders, and more, with stunning detail in 1/10 scale. Now the spotlight returns to Earth's Mightiest Heroes with a new series of Avengers characters based on designs by Marvel superstar artist Adi Granov. Following Black Panther and Scarlet Witch is the Astonishing Ant-Man and Wasp! Adi Granov's art is brought to life by sculptors Junnosuke Abe (RESTORE) and Keita Misonou. Ant-Man's design is based on the suit used by Scott Lang after he takes over the position from Hank Pym, and Adi's Granov's unique photo-realistic art is expertly rendered into an original statue with a high level of detail made possible by Kotobukiya's expert craftsmen. In addition to the full-sized Ant-Man, this product also includes a miniature Ant-Man with an ant companion, and a miniature of the original Janet van Dyne Wasp at the shrunken-down scale shown in the concept art. These statues are the smallest items in the ARTFX+ series todate, and are perfect for displaying alongside the other Adi Granov Avengers as they assemble to face off against Thanos!

♣♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣
Vince (Joshua Garcia) and James (Ronnie Alonte) are not just cousins. They are the best of friends, and this despite the similarities that they simply do not share. One is athletic and is the archetype of the varsity jock every girl on campus swoons over. What the other lacks in sportsmanship, he makes up for in words, authoring a blog called Da Vinci Quotes where he pours out his love frustrations behind the comforts of anonymity. But they do have something in common, which is their crush on Kath (Julia Barretto), the pretty Miss Engineering titleholder who is as dashing in a gown and a tiara on her head as she is valuable with a wrench and screwdriver at hand. One cousin gives way to the other and acts as a bridge instrumental in setting up the couple for a budding romance, but how long can he keep up the charade when his very own feelings start to betray him and act as his very own saboteur? Will his next blog entry be entitled Follow Your Heart or Bros Before Hoes?
Oh, unrequited love. How many odes have been, are being, and will continue to be written in your honor? Vince & Kath & James has its main premise to thank for its success. Many people can easily relate to the characters because at one point in their lives, they were a Vince, a Kath, or a James, unless they did not go to school or never had a crush. That sucks, but that's not our problem. Pop culture is replete with materials dealing with the same topic, but the level of admiration or curiosity will depend on the generation in which you belong. If you are in your 30's, meaning social media was still in its infancy during your time of being wild and free, then this film will serve as a good case study on how modern human relations evolved with the advent of technology. How do the youth flirt nowadays? Are you having problems connecting with your adolescent child? Watch this movie and maybe get some helpful tips.
Jesus Christ, this Joshua Garcia kid is the second coming of John Lloyd Cruz. Their diction, tone of voice, and crying style are carbon copies of one another, interchangeable if you close your eyes. It's interesting see how the uncanny similarities will play out for him. Cruz came at a time when the field was saturated by half-half hunks whose definition of acting was synonymous with baring their abs. Out of nowhere emerged the best friend next door type who cried beautifully, contagiously, reminding everyone that hey, this is what acting is all about. He was an anomaly and his timing was perfect. As for Garcia, only time will tell if he'll play his cards right or not. In any other MMFF year with Die Beautiful out of contention, he could have been the favorite to win that Best Actor trophy. In any case, it's always a good thing to witness the torch being passed to a new generation of actors who are capable and brimming with potential.
The Barrettos have been around for quite a while, several of them dabbling in acting with varying levels of success. But Julia Barretto must be the prettiest one yet, and could have given a younger Aunt Gretchen a run for her money. Star Magic seems to have patterned her career trajectory after that of Aunt Claudine, so one can't help but wonder why the various attempts to launch her as a lead actress haven't been that well-received. What went wrong? The girl has the face and the acting chops to match. But let's leave that dilemma to her manager. Having this movie in her filmography won't hurt her chances. After all, she and Garcia are the key element in making this film work. Alonte, on the other hand, is the weakest link, tolerable thanks to his co-stars. More acting workshops will help a great deal.
I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this movie. In an MMFF year characterized by a paradigm shift favoring films with a predominantly indie flavor, this one sticks out like a sore thumb as the most mainstream among the bunch. Perhaps this is also the reason why it has emerged as the frontrunner in terms of box office returns. Moviegoers used to rallying behind Vice Ganda had to find something familiar to support, and Vince & Kath & James being the lone Star Cinema offering immediately fit the bill, while Die Beautiful filled the void left by Vic Sotto's absence. It might sound ridiculous, but the network wars are still at play here, but at least we can say that the films on offer actually deserve to be here based on their quality instead of the clout of the TV station backing them up.
Vince & Kath & James is as formula as formula can get, but as one review has already stated, it's "formula done right". Its appeal is as universal as its premise, and is the recommended film of choice if you are looking for something light to watch this MMFF season. Even though Star Cinema opts to remain faithful to its mainstream roots, they have done a good job with this one. I'd say give the crew a bonus and keep them for a while. Who knows what more gems they can spit out after chewing the same gum that has long lost its flavor.

Process Tracing in Evaluating Innovation in Sub-Regional Governance. Case Study of Selected Integrated Territorial Investments in Poland
Aldona Wiktorska-Święcka
Integrated Territorial Investments (ITIs) are a new integration tool that binds the thematic objectives defined operational programmes with the territorial dimension. Due to their formula, ITIs may be seen as a kind of innovation in sub-regional governance. The European Commission considers them as an opportunity to introduce solutions that can be effective in facing the challenges of contemporary development on a supra-local scale. Accordingly, they should be regarded as a possibility for Member States to activate innovative governance arrangements that will allow for the implementation of projects, which - depending on the country - more or less reflect issues indicated by the Commission as a priority. In Poland, the Integrated Territorial Investments are implemented in 24 functional areas. Due to a new approach to cities and their role in development processes in the country, they can mean a new opening for the urban policy and urban development. Concentrating on innovative governance arrangements, the aim of this paper is to analyze selected case studies of 4 ITIs implemented by large (more than 500,000 inhabitants) provincial cities: Wrocław, Łódź, Gdańsk, Katowice, which are capitals of regions in which one defined a different development potential. Th e analysis will allow the formulation of answers to the following research questions: • Are there any innovative governance arrangements indicated during ITIs implementation? • What are the implemented modes of sub-regional governance? • What is the role and importance of institutional actors in the process of ITIs governance? • What are their new competences linked to the ITIs implementation? • Are there any new products/services related to innovation in sub-regional governance? • Do ITIs consider principles of "good governance" a one of key factors of innovation in governance? Th e paper contains key definitions and points out processes related to the transition of modes of governance at the sub-regional level. It also indicates further challenges in Polish territorial development upon Europeanisation.

Regulations Regarding the Spelling of National Minorities' Names in the Documents and the Protection of the State Language in Latvia and Lithuania
Marcin Jędrysiak
The goal of this article is to compare the Latvian and Lithuanian provisions regarding the spelling of names of the members of the national minorities. Lithuanians often state an opinion, that provisions in both countries are very similar, and Latvian Poles cannot use the original form of their names. The legal comparative methods have been used. In the paper the most important provisions of both countries were analyzed: Constitution, state language law, law on the state language commission and the special regulations on the spelling of the names. Also, the problems with the national minorities law were analyzed. This comparison led to the discovery of differences in the Lithuanian and Latvian provisions regarding the spelling of names. Another factor which had been taken into account is the standing of the international bodies on those regulations. It has been presented by showing most important cases regarding Latvia and Lithuania. Above mentioned means allowed the author to verify the thesis that Latvian and Lithuanian provisions are similar. Both legal systems have also been criticized.
Testing Turkey's Place Within the Maps of Global Economic, Political and Social Values
Arno Tausch and Almas Heshmati
Following the attempt by Alesina and Guiliano (2013) to measure global culture and to project these measurements onto real choropleth geographical world maps, we utilize the data from the World Values Survey (WVS) to arrive at robust measurement scales of global economic, political and social values and to assess Turkey's place within them. Our study, which is based on 92,289 representative individuals with complete data in 68 countries, representing 56.89% of the global population, looks at hard-core economic values in these countries. From our new nine dimensions for the determination of the geography of human values, based on a promax factor analysis of the available data, we use six factor analytical scores to calculate a new Global Value Development Index, which combines: avoiding economic permissiveness; avoiding racism; avoiding distrust of the army and the press; avoiding the authoritarian character; tolerance and respect; and avoiding the rejection of the market economy and democracy. Turkey is ranked 25, ahead of several EU member countries. But there are still considerable deficits concerning the liberal values components, which are very important for effective democracy, and there are very large regional differences, confirming the dictum by Huntington (1996) about Turkey as a torn country.
The Arab College in Jerusalem 1918-1948: Influence of the Curriculum on the Cultural Awakening
Samir Hajj
This article seeks to shed light on the curriculum of the Arab College in Jerusalem established by the British Mandate Government in 1918. The curriculum of the college was similar to the educational program of an English public school and was overwhelmingly geared toward English language and literature, with special emphasis on British history, in addition to Arabic, Latin, geography, science, and mathematics. The curriculum was also geared toward teachers' training, in order to create a class of professionals to occupy managerial positions in the Mandate government and help in the administration of the country by working in schools, banks, and the Postal Service. This article examines and analyzes the curriculum of the Arab College, including textbooks and final examinations. It will also look at the role of the British Mandate Government in the improvement of the education system and the personal interviews with present graduates from the Arab College. It also examines the influence of the educational program on the writings of one of its graduates, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra (1920–1994). The literary works of Jabra, mainly in novel, poetry, and translation, represent an example on how the Arab College promoted the British culture among the Palestinian graduates of the college.
Between Diplomacy and Paradiplomacy: Taiwan's Foreign Relations in Current Practice
Erik Pajtinka
The study deals with Taiwan's engagement in international relations from the viewpoint of practical performance of its foreign activities. It is stressed that Taiwan's foreign activities may be divided by their nature into two basic groups: the official diplomatic activities that Taiwan carries out in relation to those foreign states with which it has established diplomatic relations, and unofficial quasidiplomatic or paradiplomatic activities that Taiwan carries out in relation to the states with which it does not have diplomatic relations. In the study, the diplomatic and quasidiplomatic or paradiplomatic activities of Taiwan are compared, especially with emphasis on their institutional backgrounds, legal regulations, and other conditions for their practical performance. It is concluded that the differences between the diplomatic and paradiplomatic dimensions of Taiwan's foreign activities are rooted mainly in their formal and protocolar aspects, whereas from the viewpoint of their organization and practical performance, these differences are minimal.
Divided National Identity in Moldova
Vladimír Baar and Daniel Jakubek
This paper discusses the competing processes between Moldovan and Romanian identities for the creation of a national identity in the Republic of Moldova. The issue of a common national identity for the people of the Republic of Moldova has been a problem since the beginning of this state's independence. Throughout the 25 years of independence, different concepts of a Moldovan nation have competed in public, scientific, and political discourse. As a result of the historical context, the region has a linguistic specificity, which is based on the example of the Romanians, Moldovans, and Russians living in this region. Through archival research, field research, and interviews with Moldovan intellectuals and officials, this study recognizes the need for a national identity in the creation of unity and a sense of nationalism for Moldovan citizens.
Migration Discourse in Slovak Politics. Context and Content of Migration in Political Discourse: European Values versus Campaign Rhetoric
Viera Žúborová and Ingrid Borárosová
The migration crisis has not only influenced the societies of Europe, their governments, and decisions taken by them but also affected the work of media. As soon as the migration crisis began to escalate in Europe, the old continent has continuously tried to cope with the influx of refugees from the war-threatened Middle East; not only individual statements of politicians and influential individuals but also communication flows themselves, which have created content and expanded context within networks, have become the center of interest. We can assume that in the previous months (especially in the case of the Slovak Republic), political and media discourses influenced societal and individual opinions and attitudes toward the migration crisis. The main aim of this article is to compare the various contents in the Slovak printed media in the context of the migration crisis. The dominant focus will be on analyzing media messages in the analyzed period in the context of creating political (media-based and electoral) discourse on the refugee crisis. We assume that over time, the main political discourse changed, and that the rhetoric of the main political actors also changed over time. The reason for this shift was the national election in March 2016.
Transnationalism in the Pacific Region as a Concept of State Identity
Tatiana Tökölyová
This paper is devoted to the fulfillment of the concept of transnational citizenship achieved by New Zealand toward the Pacific Island countries, mainly through their constitutional relations, and the paper analyzes the fundamental question of what aspects comprise the core of the transnational aspect of this community. The aim here is to put forward the key aspects and steps in the building and development of a functioning model of transnational communities, with emphasis on the legal instrument of regional identity building, namely, the introduction and development of dual citizenship as the adaptation of the historical heritage of the colonial past (British citizenship) to the conditions of a globalized world while taking all the problems that the region faces now into account. We see transnational communities to be an important expression of contemporary globalization, as they have also been historically, as proved by New Zealand and the Pacific Island countries.

'Assistance from A to Z' as an Innovative Social Investment in Action. Evaluation of a Case Study
Aldona Wiktorska-Święcka and Dorota Moroń
The aim of the article is to present a case study of the implementation of innovative social investment in the area of social inclusion. The case study analysed, namely the project Assistance from "A" to "Z" — Professional activation of homeless people from Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society, refers to the social and vocational integration of homeless people at the municipal level in Poland. The authors hypothesize that innovative social investments are key to the success of the policy of social inclusion, which requires new, innovative ideas to empower people at risk of exclusion.
The article uses the case study method and the method of desk research, in which an analysis of the strategy documents, source materials and activities was carried out. The results were subjected to critical analysis, using the achievements of research in the field of social investment, social innovation and social inclusion policy. The paper is the result of partial studies carried out within the framework of the research project Innovative Social Investment: Strengthening communities in Europe (InnoSI), financed by the EU Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020.
As a result, one has to consider the question "What works?". The analysis showed the accompaniment method to be the most effective tool in the project's actions and one which may be disseminated as a recommendation for social investment. The question "How?" brought evidence that the existing set of activities and their sequence (integrity and complexity) was appropriate, necessary and effective from the perspective of beneficiaries, the Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society and stakeholders. Considering the question "In what circumstances?", the key element was related to the leadership offered by the Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society, which was running the implementation of the project. As a conclusion, one can formulate the cautious thesis that the outcomes can to some extent be generalized, particularly at the level of other local entities in Poland or in other countries/regions of Central and Eastern Europe, which have a similar welfare model (e.g. the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia).


A Frame Cabin Floor Plans - The home is a reflection of the individual's own self. It's the mirror of a person's character and of his needs and wants. For example, you can obviously see that an person is meticulous and comes with an obsessive compulsive personality when everything in and out of his home are neatly arranged and fixed and when color schemes and patterns are followed. However, you can see that an individual cares less in taking care of his home when stuff are not arranged, the decorations are a mess and when the homely house appears to be unplanned.
The first thing you should bear in mind while planning for a true home makeover may be the availability of resources. Always consider where you might get those materials that you'll need for the renovation. Are they accessible and affordable easily? An architect or a contractor cannot fulfill the new plan and design without the availability of resources. There are components that are easy to obtain. Therefore you must check or contact some manufacturers and businesses who can provide you the components before you will start implementing.

Those hoping for another tea party upset after Eric Cantor's stunning loss earlier this month were disappointed on Tuesday night. In primaries across the country, establishment Republicans beat back challengers who accused them of being insufficiently conservative: In Colorado, the controversial Tom Tancredo lost the gubernatorial primary, and in New York, Representative Richard Hanna proved that the firm behind Cantor's polling can still get it right sometimes. However, there was still plenty of primary-night drama. It appears that two incumbents, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran and New York Representative Charlie Rangel, have managed to hang on to their seats for one last term, but in both races their opponents refuse to accept it.
Cochran, who would have been the first senator unseated in this cycle, lost to State Senator Chris McDaniel by less than 1 percent in the June 3 primary, but since neither won a majority they had to hold a runoff election. Late on Tuesday night, the race was called for Cochran. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Cochran had 50.9 percent to McDaniel's 49.1 percent, with the two men separated by about 6,600 votes.
Rather than conceding, McDaniel delivered a fiery speech in which he questioned the election results, saying, "Before this race ends we have to be absolutely certain that the Republican primary was won by Republican voters." That definitely wasn't the case, but that's totally legal in Mississippi. The state does not register by party affiliation, and anyone who didn't vote in the Democratic primary on June 3 was allowed to vote in the Republican runoff.
"This is not the party of Reagan, but we're not done fighting, and when we're done it will be," McDaniel added, though it's unclear what his next move will be. Politico reports that the Senate Conservatives Fund's Ken Cuccinelli hung up on one of its reporters when asked if they would challenge the result in court.
In New York, State Senator Adriano Espaillat has more reason to keep fighting, though his chances don't look good. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Representative Charlie Rangel is in the lead with 47.4 percent to Espaillat's 43.6 percent. When the pair faced off in 2012, Espaillat refused to concede for three weeks and ultimately lost by about 1,100 votes. Rangel is currently ahead by 1,800 votes, but early on Wednesday, the Associated Press said the race was still too close to call. According to the New York Times, the New York City Board of Elections said it's given out 2,834 absentee ballots, of which 903 have been returned and 738 were deemed valid. Ballots can still be returned to the board through next Tuesday.
As Rangel was speaking, Espaillat addressed supporters at his own campaign headquarters. "We have reviewed the results as they have continued to come in and we feel this race is too close to call," Espaillat said. "We think it is prudent to wait for the final results before we make any announcement." He added that they should all be "proud" of the "historic race," then headed out for the night.


If you've ever laid your fork into one of these, you know how tough it is to take just one bite. Now you don't worry about stopping there. TSR drastically reduces the fat in this clone of the Shoney's creation with the help of reduced-fat devil's food cake mix and fat-free ice cream. Just be sure to get the type of ice cream that comes in a rectangular container, so that slicing and arranging the ice cream on the cake is make easier. Breyer's makes excellent fat-free vanilla ice cream and the container works well for this recipe. You may have some ice cream left over, which you can eat with the small cake or cupcakes you can bake with the cup of leftover cake batter.
Menu Description: "Vanilla ice cream between two pieces of devil's food cake. Served with hot fudge, creamy topping and a cherry."
One of Shoney's signature dessert items is this Hot Fudge Cake, a dessert worshipped by all who taste it. To make construction of this treat simple, the recipe calls for a prepackaged devil's food cake mix found in any supermarket baking aisle. Try to find vanilla ice cream in a box, so that the ice cream can be more easily sliced to fit on the cake. Leftovers can be frozen and served up to several weeks later.


New Delhi: In a scathing report against the Urban Development Ministry of Union Government, a Parliamentary panel raised serious doubts about the competence of the ministry to fulfill the Central Government's ambitious housing programme for poor people of the country.
The report tabled in the recently concluded Monsoon Session of the Parliament sparks serious doubt about Prime Minister's dream project of 'housing for all by 2022'.
They also said, "Unfortunately the performance of HUDCO's regional offices, as well as its newly developed software on the scheme, has also remained low, which according to the Ministry themselves, had suffered from limitations."
Criticising the ministry the committee said on the question of implementing the housing scheme in the municipal areas reply given by the housing ministry 'is vague'. With regard to occupancy of dwelling/housing units constructed with loan assistance given by HUDCO, the Committee in its earlier report had noted with concern that about 25% of the housing units constructed with the loan given by HUDCO under three schemes of JNNURM, BSUP, and IHSDP remain unoccupied.

Thursday, August 4, 2005 - 15:42 - [mpisgmedia] Standing Committee report on DDA?


At least 1,000 youth in Kisii will get job opportunities in a programme by a US government agency and the Coca-Cola Company through its local bottling partner Almasi Beverages.
The United States Agency for International Development's (USAid) Kenya Youth Employment and Skills (K-YES) will collaborate with the company in an initiative dubbed Kuza Kazi that seeks to address the high rate of unemployment in the county.
Through this initiative, the company aims to boost their entrepreneurial skills and equipping them to start table-top businesses.
The youth will then join Coca-Cola's retail network, enhancing their income and savings, expand their business, and build their potential to become future employers.
Almasi Beverages commercial director Joel Kibowen said both the private and public sectors need to work together to tackle the high unemployment.
"Almasi Beverages is pleased to be associated with Kuza Kazi, which is critical to the realisation of the country's economic strategic objectives under Vision 2030. That is why it's important to join hands with key partners to look for a solution in line with our Sustainability Agenda," said Mr Kibowen.
The initiative is aligned to the government's 'Big Four' agenda, and is being rolled-out in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) – as the project managers.
"Kuza Kazi aims not only at increasing employment, but also formalising the informal sector which currently represents 82.7 percent of employment in Kenya," said Mr Kibowen.
The initiative is designed to work through the existing Coca-Cola ecosystem, utilising the supply chain operated by Coca-Cola bottling companies (Almasi Beverages, Coca-Cola Beverages Africa and Coastal Bottlers).
Each of the beneficiaries will receive a starter kit consisting of an ice box, a parasol, products (soft drinks, water or juices) and branding materials.
The kit will be treated as the initial investment into their business. They will then operate under the supervision of the Coca-Cola bottling partners who will integrate them into the Coca-Cola retail network.
Bottling partners will fulfil vendors' product orders, offer training and sales support.
Speaking at the event, Kisii Governor James Ongwae said that with a population of over 1.2 million, the initiative will create meaningful employment opportunities to many people in the county.
"We are happy to receive kits containing cooler boxes and parasols from the Kuza Kazi initiative and I believe this will go a long way in economically empowering the people of Kisii, especially the youth," said Mr Ongwae at the county headquarters.
The Kuza Kazi initiative, seeks to create 50,000 jobs for Kenyan youth every year in partnership with donors, like-minded private sector entities and support from county governments.

06 – Lisa Blue – A Psychologist's View on Jury Selection
https://media.blubrry.com/triallawyernation/p/content.blubrry.com/triallawyernation/Lisa_Blue_on_Trial_Lawyer_Nation.mp3
In this Trial Lawyer Nation podcast, Michael Cowen sits down with a legendary trial attorney, Lisa Blue of Baron and Blue.
Lisa's credentials go on for miles with over $350 million in jury verdicts and an equally impressively long list of hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements; as well as being seen as the national authority on jury selection having written multiple books on the matter and being brought in on mega-cases all around the country. It becomes clear very quickly in her conversation with Michael, that she has put her two master's degrees and Ph.D. in psychology to great use within the legal field as she recounts her early days in private psychology practice and how she originally became interested in law and becoming a lawyer.
Thinking back to her first time in court, her description of the "warm" welcome she got sounded more like jury selection by fire! Fortunately, for her and all of us listening, that experience only fueled her passion for the business and instilled to her how much she loved it, further driving her to continue in this line of work. Lisa goes on to talk about her experiences working for Henry Wade (yes, of Roe vs Wade) and pulls back the curtain on a lunch conversation she had with him, revealing what he said which ultimately led to her pursuing a career as a lawyer. Lisa's perspective on specializing was also instilled in her early on in her legal career and has since then only strengthened her position in the industry.
Michael digs in a little deeper with Lisa regarding the advantageousness of using her background in psychology when talking to clients and is surprised at the commonality that she points out between jury selection and a therapy session. The details Lisa explains about the similarities are profound in theory and yet seemingly approachable in practice. The overall voir dire in both is very noticeable the way she describes it. Lisa continues throughout her conversation with Michael to deliver powerful tips on jury selection, mindfulness, and success while also acknowledging how the changing political climate has also affected the courtroom.
This incredible podcast concludes with Lisa's outlook on some of the greatest things you can do to grow as a lawyer and even just as individuals in general, each of which truly applies to all of us regardless of years in the industry or specialty.

With a storied career ranging from big law and excess coverage, to truck accident and personal injury, Deena Buchanan has earned the skills to pay the bills and chooses to pay it forward. Since her switch from big law and Fortune 500 in-house counsel to the plaintiff side of law, Deena holds valuable insight that can apply to both sides of the court.
In episode 118, Michael Cowen speaks with Deena Buchanan, Managing Partner at Buchanan Law Firm, LLC.

Top takeaways from this episode
How do you know when there is excess coverage? It can be easy to overlook the specifics in big insurance cases, especially when there's a large settlement offer. However, by doing this, lawyers often leave money on the table. By asking in discovery early and often about the coverage you see, you can pick out wordings and layerings being used to hide the actual amount your client could be up for.
You need to build relationships with adjusters and decision makers. Often with insurance cases, your information is based on what is collected and provided by the defense lawyer. They're often overworked or a true believer in the case and want to make it difficult for you to get the policy information you need. This is why it's important to build relationships with adjusters who can get you the information you need, work around the people withholding or dragging their feet, and build your name in the industry.
You can drive up the value of your case. By serving with complaint, pushing in discovery with motions to compel, and giving notice for depositions early, you can push the value of your case for your client up. You're showing that you're serious both to your client and to who you're going after, showing you won't settle for less or be pushed around. By doing this it strengthens a long term relationship with your client, not just adjusters, and opens the chance for them to gain higher compensation more quickly.
[02:35] Deena's Background that led her to a successful career in law: How a career spanning many different areas can prepare you for your next steps.
[10:32] Don't settle when there's money on the table: It's common for lawyers to settle for less money when they don't quite understand the policies they're covering.
[16:14] Finding the pressure points on the carrier: Deena talks about the pressure points you want to find for a carrier to settle the covered claim in an insurance case.
[21:56] Plaintiff lawyer questions: Deena shares specific ways a plaintiff lawyer can make sure the right information makes it to adjusters.
[30:09] How a plaintiff lawyer can drive up the case value: Deena shares ways that plaintiff lawyers can show they're serious and drive up the relief for their clients
[35:28] How management changes affect relationships: You want a good relationship and to run a good case to avoid breaking down relationships with management at insurance companies or head adjusters.
[37:46] Experienced lawyers are willing to help you with advice: Deena and Michael discuss the fear that younger lawyers may have of asking for advice on a case – fearing that they will have to bring someone new on. But that's not the case! Ask for advice and to brainstorm all over.
[41:33] What work Deena is doing now: Deena switched to the plaintiff side of law and has never been happier. She mainly focuses on trucking cases now, and carries her knowledge throughout her career. You can reach Deena on her website at Buchananlaw.com.

114 – Brandon Thompson – Winning Medical Malpractice Cases
Anuj Thapa wanted the American dream. A college student from Nepal who came to the United States to pursue mechanical engineering, Anuj had big dreams of getting his degree and becoming the breadwinner for his family members at home in Nepal.
But his aspirations were destroyed by a leg injury that led to a painful condition called compartment syndrome. Due to the neglect of his doctors, the damage that Anuj suffered after his surgery left him disabled.
Luckily for Anuj, he got one of the most esteemed medical malpractice lawyers in the country to try his case, Ciresi Conlin's Brandon E. Thompson. With 17 years of experience in the medical malpractice law arena, he was able to win Anuj $111 million in damages. The defense's argument? They claimed that Anuj — a 19-year-old in the U.S. on a student visa — was lying about when and where he developed compartment syndrome.
"That was a gift to us that they framed the case that way because it allowed us, throughout the case, to paint this as a credibility contest," Brandon said. "Find me another case where you've got somebody who truly has had their American dream torn away from them in the way that his was."
For Brandon, presenting cases to the jury with empathy is the key to success — and he's had a lot of it. Tune in to this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation as host Michael Cowen talks with Brandon about all things medical malpractice: from the weaknesses of liability arguments to the secrets of getting a jury on your side.
Name: Brandon E. Thompson
About: Brandon Thompson's entire legal career has been dedicated to representing individuals and families who have suffered from the negligence of medical professionals. There is no greater professional honor for Brandon than being asked to help people when they are facing the darkest times of their lives.
Brandon is one of the foremost trial lawyers of his generation. He has won numerous multi-million jury trials — including some of the largest-ever jury verdicts in the State of Minnesota for clients harmed by serious medical malpractice — and has negotiated many millions of dollars of settlements for his clients. He is a member of a number of elite national and international trial organizations, and in 2018 was invited to be the youngest-ever Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the most prestigious organization of trial lawyers in the world.
Brandon's work ethic and compassion were a product of his blue-collar upbringing; his grandfather was a mechanic, his dad was an electrician at the Ford plant, and he was the first person in his family to go to college. The father of three children, including a young daughter with extraordinary medical needs, he empathizes with his clients in a way few lawyers truly can.

Look beyond liability. When choosing which cases to defend, one of the biggest mistakes lawyers can make is choosing a claim based on liability claims alone. Liability is not always as strong as it seems, so the first criterion should always be the seriousness of the injury or damages.
Differentiate your case. One of the best things medical malpractice lawyers can do to win over a jury is to differentiate their case and show how it is an outlier.
Avoid credibility arguments. In the case Brandon won for Nepali student Anuj Thapa, the hospital's biggest mistake was using credibility as their primary defense. In this case, it was deeply improbable that someone like Anuj, who risked everything to pursue his "American dream," would lie about his injury.
[01:43] Meet the expert: Brandon E. Thompson talks about how he went from insurance defense at a corporate firm — a job he hated — to one of the country's foremost personal injury lawyers.
[04:42] Humble beginnings: Brandon's upbringing in a blue-collar family influenced his decision to help people through law.
[06:06] Right place, right time: When Brandon decided it was time for a job change, he was given an opportunity that would shape the rest of his career: a job with one of the nation's best medical malpractice lawyers.
[10:59] Picking the right cases: In a field that has no shortage of potential cases, how do medical malpractice lawyers choose which ones are worth defending?
[15:17] The chance for success: When so much of a case's success rests on the jury — and luck — here's what medical malpractice lawyers can do to boost their chances of victory.
[17:19] Differentiate the case: One of the strongest things lawyers can do to strengthen their case is to differentiate the situation from the norm and show how it is an outlier. Brandon offers examples of how to do this successfully.
[21:27] The $100 million case: Brandon tells the devastating story of his client Anuj Thapa — a Nepali college student who was the victim of a botched surgery — and how Brandon won his client $111 million in damages.
[32:53] What went wrong: Brandon explains how he framed — and later won — the case against the hospital and who was to blame for the permanent ailments Anuj was left with after his surgery.
[38:04] What drove the verdict: The lucky combination of Anuj's strong story with a good jury helped Brandon win the case.
[45:49] Making the ask: How do medical malpractice lawyers decide how much in compensation to ask a jury for? Brandon explains why asking for a specific number may not always be the best choice.
[51:45] Rejecting the reptile strategy: David Ball and Don Keenan's 2009 book "Reptile" presents a strategy that uses fear and anger to get jurors to sympathize with a plaintiff — but the approach may not work for everyone.
116 – Michael Bonamarte – What Does It Take to Win a $20 Million Verdict?
Michael Bonamarte wasn't always set on being a trial lawyer. In college, he started out on a pre-med track, eventually discovering a passion for the law. Now, he runs a successful firm with 20 years under his belt — and a $20 million verdict. What does it take to reach this level of success?
Throughout his career, Michael soaked up knowledge from the greats in his industry. From mentors and partners to books and other educational tools, Michael made sure he was learning everything he could so that he could go to bat for his clients. Because of this passion and drive, Michael won a plethora of large cases.
One of these large cases received a successful $20 million verdict. This multimillion-dollar case covered a difficult birthing complication, where the baby, AJ, was diagnosed with fetal growth restriction at 40 weeks. Significant changes in the fetal heart rate strips were not brought to the attending doctor's attention, and ultimately, AJ suffered brain damage. Although he should live a regular life expectancy, AJ's neurological function is limited and he will likely need custodial care for the rest of his life.
Due to the technicalities of the case, Michael knew he needed support from great experts. With the help of both law firm partners and medical experts, Michael was able to solidify the win. The medical experts could explain the points that matter and simplify complex terms for the jury. The defense, who argued that fetal growth restriction was caused by a genetic growth issue, didn't have the necessary experts to strengthen their argument, which contributed to Michael and his team's big win.
Throughout his career, Michael has had plenty of multimillion-dollar wins. Now, as a managing partner of his firm, Michael is helping other lawyers find that same success. By investing in the firm, making himself accessible to younger lawyers, and sharing all of his insight and knowledge, Michael is helping shape the next generation of lawyers winning million-dollar verdicts.
In episode 116, Michael Cowen is in conversation with Michael Bonamarte, Managing Partner at Levin & Perconti, to get all of the details on the $20 million verdict. Michael walks through the big case, from the opening statement and jury selection to the closing arguments and ultimate win. On this insightful episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael also discusses what it's like running a law firm, how he built up his skills early in his career, and the best ways to bounce back from a loss.
Name: Michael Bonamarte
About: Michael Bonamarte, IV is a nationally recognized trial attorney who has achieved outstanding results in a number of high-profile nursing home, wrongful death, birth injury, and medical malpractice cases. He is committed to protecting and vindicating the rights of people who have been injured due to systemic flaws and corporations choosing profits over people. Michael is currently a Managing Partner at Levin & Perconti law firm in Chicago, Illinois.

You have to be a sponge to develop your skills as a trial lawyer. Michael Bonamarte has a passion for representing people who have been wronged. But passion doesn't always mean you have the skills to succeed. So how do you develop your skills? According to Michael, you have to be a sponge and soak up all of the insight from other lawyers, mentors, and resources in your field.
A strong argument requires the right experts. Especially if you're working on a technical case, you need the right experts to guide you through complex terms and concepts. Additionally, experts serve as credible sources to support your argument during trial.
Give the case your all. No matter how great of a lawyer you are, you won't win every case. In order to bounce back from the losses, it's important that you give every case your all. When you know that you did everything you could for a client, a loss is somewhat easier to bear.
[02:23] The beginning of an outstanding law career: Michael Bonamarte talks about his journey in the field of law and his work at Levin & Perconti.
[06:23] Developing trial skills: Michael shares how he went from a pre-med path in college to becoming a successful trial lawyer. He also discusses the people who have influenced his law career and how he stays educated.
[08:45] The $20 million verdict: Michael gets into the details of a difficult birthing case, sharing the complications of the birth and why it was such a big case.
[18:44] The defense of the case: According to Michael, there was an overwhelming number of expert witnesses for the case. But the defense, who argued that fetal growth restriction was caused by a genetic growth issue in this case, didn't have the necessary experts to strengthen their argument.
[22:33] Michael's strategy for winning the case: Because the case was extremely technical, Michael attributes much of his success to his partners and medical experts. These experts could simplify things for the jury, explain the relevant case points, and ensure that all information was accurate.
[27:05] The jury selection: Michael walks through the jury selection process specific to the case, how he set up a foundation of mutual respect, and how he exposed bias through a lighthearted example (deep dish or thin crust pizza?).
[36:06] The opening statement: Michael's partner, Margaret, did the opening statement, and they chose to start off with the base premise of a healthy birth. They presented what should happen during a healthy birth, and then they presented plan B — what happens when that first scenario isn't possible.
[44:47] Why presentation matters: Michael talks about a lung cancer case with a 40-year smoker and how he presented questions and information to win the case. He also shares the story of the shocking cross-examination during the birthing case and how he successfully delivered the closing argument.
[53:04] Getting the jury to fight for you: During the closing argument, Michael tapped into his emotions and personal experience of having a daughter the same age as AJ, the baby in the birth defect trial. Michael connected with the jury — especially the parents who may empathize with AJ's family.
[58:49] What it takes to be a managing lawyer: As a managing lawyer, Michael often comes in at the end of the case after others have worked up the case. In order to get great workup done by others, Michael focuses on the bigger picture, utilizes the unique skills of the firm's lawyers, and makes himself accessible to younger lawyers.
[1:05:58] Bouncing back after a loss: For Michael, it's easier to come back from a loss knowing that you did everything possible for your client. As long as you put everything out there and give it your best shot, you'll feel more positive about the situation — even if the outcome isn't what you wanted.

Read on to find out more about this area of accounting, and how a forensic accountant could help you.
The term 'forensic' means the application of scientific methods and techniques to the investigation of crime, although this is now commonly extended to civil proceedings. Therefore, forensic accountants are often asked to use their expertise to investigate business or personal finances to look for discrepancies, hidden assets, or evidence of a crime or lie.
Forensic accountants will often have to carry out detailed investigations to uncover information and identify those anomalies in financial reports and documents. They will then provide a report of the findings and offer insights and reconstructions into how the activities were carried out.
When are forensic accountants used?
Forensic accountants or often used as experts in court, to present findings of their investigations in a case. Their expert testimony can be used to help a judge or jury come to a conclusion, make sure settlements are fair, and evaluate whether the conclusions made by the opposition are fair, reasonable and correct.

Freestyle Love Supreme ready for its close-up
By MARK KENNEDY, Associated Press | Posted - March 6, 2014 at 7:30 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — The improv hip-hop act Freestyle Love Supreme is known for its daring, anything-can-happen live shows. So a few TV cameras and thousands of extra eyeballs don't scare it.
The group, which creates impromptu rap songs often from single-word audience suggestions, will record its show on Thursday night and then have it broadcast to a national audience two nights later on the millennial-seeking cable TV outlet Pivot.
"What we're trying to do is be really smart about the elements of the show that we think will translate well," says Thomas Kail, the Tony Award-nominated director of "In the Heights" who co-created and directs the group with Anthony Veneziale.
The Freestyle Love Supreme hourlong show at Joe's Pub in downtown Manhattan will be edited to highlight the best bits and the resulting 30-minute set will be shown beginning Saturday at 10 p.m. ET.
Group member Lin-Manuel Miranda, the composer-lyricist of "In the Heights" who also co-wrote "Bring It On: The Musical," says there's nothing to do to prepare except have three solid meals.
"Your body will be freaking out that you will be going on a stage with no rehearsal and no idea what is about to happen," he says. "That adrenalin rush never goes away and I hope some of that adrenalin comes through the screen."
Their shows are thrillingly creative, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants events, in which five guys on stage weave songs out of random words and suggestions like "dishwasher" or "peanut butter." In one bit, someone conducts a long interview onstage with an audience member about their day and then the band acts it out to music. The group likens their act to building a parachute as you jump out of a plane.
"Sometime the parachute doesn't open and then what we create is something we call a happy accident, where sometimes the mistakes in the show — when the rhymes don't work or we gibberish our way through what should have been an intelligible sentence — becomes the funniest moment in the show," says member Utkarsh Ambudkar.
Despite the risks and stress, the members have shied away from preparing any material before the show by, say, composing a few funny couplets in case their mind goes blank.
"I find that it doesn't work to plan anything because if you're really truly in the moment, you're not reaching for your notecards," Miranda says. "The fun of our show is that it's never perfect because we're making up the rules as we go."
On the broadcast, Miranda and Ambudkar will be joined by Veneziale, beatboxer Chris Sullivan and Broadway veteran Christopher Jackson. Musicians Bill Sherman and Arthur Lewis will help with the beats.
Veneziale, who often is tasked with taking suggestions from the audience, is used to some crazy ones, but he has learned that even the silliest won't throw the group off.
"To be honest with you, even the asinine suggestions give shape to the rest of the audience," he says. "It's like jujitsu or taekwondo — you use their momentum to let them fly right out the window on their own."

From Austin to Houston: Winter Wonderland Time on the Highway 290 Trail
Rockets-Bulls: Introducing the Next... Bruce Bowen?
Houston Press
| Basket |
Houston Press | February 25, 2008 | 8:33am
As sports fans, we can never leave well enough alone. We're always in search of the next something. The next Jordan, Magic, Bird, whomever. For whatever reason, we never allow the past, present or future to simply stand on its own. It's absurd.
And yet… one thought kept racing around my mind while watching the Rockets roll to a 110-97 victory over Chicago Sunday night: Shane Battier is the next Bruce Bowen. Think about it. Like the Spurs' stopper, Battier always guards the opponent's best perimeter player, and, more often than not, he aces that assignment. He absolutely adores the corner trey, Bowen's bread-and-butter shot. And while it's safe to assume he'll never acquire Bowen's "dirty" label, Battier's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve; just watch the way his hand always darts right in front of a jump-shooter's eyes the moment the ball is about to be released.
Bowen and Battier are the ultimate glue guys. They don't win games of one-on-one, but they do help their teams hang banners. Fans recognize that; at least they usually do. When the Rockets are winning, the Duke product is a pretty popular dude. Everyone appreciates his hustle and praises him for all the little things he does that don't show up in boxscores. But during the bad times, well, get ready to be pummeled by an onslaught of Rudy Gay references.
To be sure, the Battier-Gay debate isn't ending anytime soon. Both sides have merit. But at least one point should elicit no argument: Battier is a perfect fit for this Rockets team.
"I was brought here because of T-Mac and Yao," says Battier. "You have to surround them with guys who do two things: defend and knock down shots. That's what I've made my career doing, that's what they told me they wanted when I got here, so that's my bread and butter on this team. I think I do a pretty decent job of both, so I just try to make plays that help this team win games."
And even if the fans don't always notice, his teammates do.
"He's focused," explains Rafer Alston. "That's one thing about him: His concentration level throughout a 48 minute game is one of the best I've been around. He loves his role and he takes on the challenge every night. You gotta love players who you can give them a role like that and they'll just take on the challenge."
Right now, there's no challenge Battier and the Rockets can't handle. Their winning streak stands at 12 and counting. Their defense is top-notch, and ball-movement superb. Their outside shots are falling. They even seem to have finally figured out the art of closing games; winning 7 of their last 8 contests by eight points or more.
And yet, Houston continues to fly just beneath the national radar. While teams like L.A., Dallas and Phoenix dominate the headlines, Clutch City draws little more than a few curious looks and raised eyebrows. Perhaps it's because the Rockets remain precariously perched in the Western Conference's 7th seed. More likely it's because of the playoff demons which can't be exorcized until the spring.
"They just pick apart what we aren't and what we don't have," says Battier matter-of-factly. "And that's fine. We're not looking for any national credit here. We know we're a good team. We know we're a solid team. We know we're continually improving and that's the most important thing. We don't want to play our best basketball now. We want to play our best basketball in April."
If the Rockets can do that, the recognition will come. For Houston.
And for Battier. - Jason Friedman
