THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS fell to 1-3 last night, losing to the Utah Jazz 102-100 on a buzzer beater by Gordon Hayward.
He scored 31 points on 18 shots and played 42 minutes. He even appeared to wave off Shawn Marion when he tried to sub in for him with two minutes left in the third quarter. The Cavs looked dead with 13 seconds left, but LeBron single-handedly brought them back.
After the game, LeBron criticised teammate Tristan Thompson for not getting close enough to Hayward, saying, "Tristan laid off a little too much."
Email "LeBron James single-handedly ties game with 6 points in 10 seconds, loses on buzzer beater".

Discussion in 'General breed discussions & FAQ' started by davecash, Sep 3, 2007.
Has asnyone heard of self-blue chickens? I have 3 chicks and their growin nicely. I think their bantams, if thats the word that means their smaller than the normal chicken.. If you have ny information let me know.
Dave, self-blue is a color, not a breed. Basically, they call it self-blue in the U.S. and in Europe, it's lavender. Any idea what actual breed they are? Old English Game Bantams, Belgian Bearded D'Anvers, etc, all come in Self-blue.
the guy i bought them from said they were self-blue.. crap.. i know their smaller, but i dont know their actual breed.
Quote:There are definitily self blue and as far as I know are in the bantams only.
The andalusian blue is the blue that runs through many standard size chickens. With self blue, they carry the blue gene and will always be blue but the Andalusian blue also involves black and splash, so you can get a variety of colors.
I know there are people here thta can go into more detail.
how can you tell their gender? i have 3 chiocks and the comb on one of them is brighter and more visible than the others, could this be my rooster?
if so, itd be a dream come true. id have 2 hens and a rooster!!
A self-blue bird will breed true, that is, will produce birds of his same color when mated with another self-blue bird. Two blue birds (not self-blue) when mated will produce blue, black and/or splash. But, as I said, self-blue is a color, not a breed. We would like to see pictures of them and maybe we could tell you more-that's one of my favorite colors in chickens.
okay here thye are.. the one in the center is the one i suspect to be a roo. gimmie info..
Gee, I can't tell what breed they are, but they are a beautiful color! Maybe someone can help you with the breed.


A exclusive story and a video of Sergio Motta's famous "macelleria", butcher shop in Lombardy.
"I began when I was just a kid; my father said I had a special gift at guessing the weight of an ox. I'd lift him up carefully and was rarely off by even a kilogram. This was at a county fair in Inzago, where I lived. And we Mottas would always take home the prize." Recounting this memory is Sergio Motta, the Lombard butcher who is changing the way Italians eat meat.
In 1963, his father Giuseppe opened the first butcher shop is Inzago - a small town between Milano and Bergamo – together with his mother, Carla. Sergio grew up between the streets and the shop, which has virtually gone unchanged for the last 40 years. It's still bursting with dried meats, cold cuts and salamis – as well as countless ribbons and medals they've won over the years.
One day I challenged him. "It's been a long time since I've tasted real cooked prosciutto," I tell him. And Sergio accepts the challenge, as he also sells cold cuts of pork and beef – counting on specialists in Langhirano for prosciutto and those in Busseto for coppa and culatello. But cooked ham, or Prosciutto Cotto, has become a large part of his business as well. He safeguards a secret recipe that comes from an old supplier, one who salted the ham intravenously. Inevitably, Motta eventually opened a restaurant not far from the butcher shop.
"People come into the store and ask for noble cuts of meat – usually from the rear quarter. But all parts of an animal are just as noble – from the cheek to the tail. So I thought I'd open a restaurant that served everything: offal, and intestines, and the head. Boiled meats, or rotisserie done in a large, antique fireplace." The entrance can be a surprise if you're not prepared: a large refrigerator with a crystal wall. Inside hang huge cuts of Piedmont beef or gigantic hams that have been aged up to five years. He calls this meat cooler, "the cellar of dreams".


The following list contains the accredited online MBA degree programs in Utah. Because many online programs have an on-campus component, students should be aware of how close their school of choice is to their location.

While these cities store 41 universities and colleges, including 10 in the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), lots of people have settled throughout the countryside, leading many institutions to adopt online education. The state also boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the country, making Utah an attractive place for online learners to live and start their careers.

Utah's higher education system keeps pace with its economic and population growth. In-state students have a wealth programs from which to choose, including online MBA programs in Utah.

Utah University in Cedar City and Utah State University in Logan have MBA programs that can be completed in one year. Western Governors University does not require GMAT test results for admission, while Utah State University requires a minimum score of 580. Still other programs require a minimum GMAT score of 550.
A program concentration enables MBA students to channel their learning into specific areas, industries, or disciplines. For students in online MBA programs in Utah, the available concentrations match the state's best-performing industries. By choosing one of these two concentrations, MBA students provide themselves with an advantage over their peers.
Aerospace Management: Students learn aerospace management practices like aerospace contract and program management. This industry-specific training grants MBA graduates the ability to work with the government and commercial aerospace industry.
Information Systems: A concentration in information systems allows business professionals to understand and work with information technology, systems security, and databases. Equipped with this concentration, business managers utilize information technology and/or deploy advanced technologies to improve an organization.
Accrediting agencies ensure that colleges and universities maintain high academic standards. Regional accrediting bodies govern all of the programs offered by schools while national accrediting bodies typically review only technical or vocational programs. In Utah, the important regional accreditor is the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The NWCCU is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the authority in the Northwest region of the U.S. The national and international accreditors for online MBA programs in Utah are the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).

Major metropolitan areas like Salt Lake City and Provo-Orem host industries like education, healthcare, manufacturing, advanced composites, data centers, and aerospace. Additionally, the projected job growth in the state is 2.5%. For graduates of online MBA degree programs, Utah's metropolitan areas bode well. Additionally, while Utah's annual mean wage sits at more than $45,000, the mean wage for management positions rises to more than $93,000.

When choosing which state to earn your MBA in, it's important to also look at the top employers in that state, as your potential job growth and opportunities can depend on the businesses and industries in your chosen state. There are many companies in Utah who hire MBA graduates; the chart below shows two of them.

Advanced degrees now represent more than 16% of all degrees awarded in the state due to the rise in interest in management positions throughout the state.
Healthcare employers in Utah are some of the largest in the country. With the medical and health services manager profession projected to grow 20% over the next decade, MBA students have an optimal field into which they can enter. The median annual wage for this career is $100,000.
Job availability and industry size coupled with great earning potential ($90,000) make a postsecondary education administrator a viable option for MBA graduates.
Demand for this position is high. Digital media and data centers represent two of the five top industries in the state, and many other industries are seeking new ways of deploying advanced technologies.
The banking industry occupies a large piece of Utah's economy, and the profession is projected to grow 19% nationally. MBA graduates with concentrations in finance can fill positions in this space to make more than $121,000 a year.
Human resources managers will be in high demand in Utah's business-friendly environment. Compensation for HR managers hovers near $105,000 per year.
There are many important considerations to make before settling on an online MBA program in Utah. These include factors discussed above like cost, accreditation, and available specializations.

Piet Mondrian: Philadelphia Museum In Ownership Dispute – Banksy Releases T-Shirt To Support Colston Four – More Cornelius Gurlitt Nazi Restitution
14 December 2021 / Art Categories Art News, News / Art Tags Colston Four, Cornelius Gurlitt, Nazi Restitution, Ownership Dispute - Banksy, Philadelphia Museum, Piet Mondrian, T-Shirt / / / / /
Heirs of the De Stijl painter Piet Mondrian are disputing the ownership of a painting in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The plaintiffs of the estate claim the £40m painting was looted by the Nazis and are seeking restitution for the painting titled 'Composition with Blue' (1926), housed in the PMA's collection for 70 years.
The provenance of the diamond-shaped canvas states it was consigned to the art dealer Sophie Küppers in 1927. It was then loaned to a museum in Hanover, Germany, where the National Socialist authorities stole it in 1937.
In 1939, the American collector A. E. Gallatin purchased it from the Buchholz Gallery in New York, a gallery specialising in "degenerate" artworks condemned but sold off by the Nazis. Gallatin bequeathed his collection to the PMA in 1952.
On Friday, a complaint was filed in Philadelphia by the trustees of the Elizabeth McManus Holtzman Irrevocable Trust, the children of Elizabeth McManus Holtzman, and American painter Harry Holtzman. They sponsored Mondrian's immigration to New York to escape Nazi persecution. After Mondrian died in 1944, Holtzman was named his executor and the sole heir to his estate.
Banksy Releases T-Shirt To Support Colston Four
Banksy has released a limited-edition t-shirt to raise funds for the four protesters arrested after a statue in Bristol was toppled last year. The criminal damage case involves the statue of Edward Colston, a 17th-century merchant and slave trader.
"Next week, the four people charged with pulling down Colston's statue in Bristol are going on trial," the Bristol-based artist stated on his Instagram page last Saturday. "I've made some souvenir shirts to mark the occasion."
The sold out shirts were priced at £25 and available at various places around the city. The artist said that all proceeds from the sales would go to the defendants "so they can go for a pint."
The Colston Four are aged between 21 and 36 and named as, Rhian Graham, Jake Skuse, Sage Willoughby, and Milo Ponsford. All are facing trial for criminal damage to public property. They have all pleaded not guilty and will stand trial at Bristol crown court this month.
More Cornelius Gurlitt Kunstmuseum Collection Restitution
Two more works from the notorious Cornelius Gurlitt collection will be returned to their rightful heirs by the end of the year. The watercolours by Otto Dix, Dompteuse and Dame in der Loge were painted in 1922. The descendants of Ismar Littmann and Paul Schaefer have successfully claimed the paintings on paper that were forcibly taken from the collectors by Nazis between 1933 and 1945.
The Museum will also surrender thirty further works that have weak provenances for the time period between 1933 and 1945. "This is a good moment for us," Museum director Nina Zimmer said. "We want to show people how we deal with works of unclear provenance in the future." "The next problem is fundraising: the Museum says that to continue its research into Gurlitt's collection, it will need approximately a quarter million Swiss Francs ($271,447) each year in government funding".
The paintings are part of the 1,600 work collection Gurlitt bequeathed to the Museum upon his death in 2014. The Kunstmuseum Bern made the decision last week. Nina Zimmer, the institution's director, said, "We are dedicated to finding fair and just solutions."
Since Gurlitt's death in 2014, over 1600 donated works have had their provenance forensically explored. This includes works by Henri Matisse, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, and Camille Pissarro, worth an estimated £100m.
The Gurlitt collection will be presented in the exhibition "Taking Stock: Gurlitt in Review" at the Bern institution from September 16, 2022, to January 15, 2023.

Another common way employers purposely violate a worker's rights is by misclassifying them as "independent contractors" or as employees who are "exempt" from wage and hour protections.
Double the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.
Our experienced wage and hour attorneys will explain this to you in further detail, but note that forcing employees to work through their lunch break, under-reporting employee work hours or otherwise falsifying their hours worked is illegal.
Nonexempt employees are entitled to meal and rest periods throughout the day. The more hours an employee works during a day, the more meal and rest periods the employer must provide. Your employer is obligated under state law to communicate the legal requirements of California's employee break laws and provide you with opportunities to take meal and rest breaks.
A nonexempt California employee who works a five hour shift should receive an unpaid, off-duty meal period of at least 30 minutes. Additionally, employers must provide a second meal break at least 30 minutes long for all workdays on which an employee works more than 10 hours. The second meal break must be provided no later than the end of an employee's 10th hour of work. An employer must treat rest periods as hours worked.
Additionally, a nonexempt employee who works at least 3.5 hours in one day is entitled to a mandatory rest break. This rest period counts as time worked.
Employers must reimburse their employees for all necessary work-related expenses, including mileage costs, smartphones, and work equipment, even if the employee does not ask to be reimbursed. If you have not been reimbursed for expenses incurred in the course of your work duties, contact our law firm to discuss your potential case with an experienced wage and hour attorney.

Tom Cruise joins Madonna in abstaining from TV
Tom Cruise has come out of the closet. The world-famous actor does not allow his adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, to watch TV, except for movies on weekends. He joins superstar Madonna in parenting decision that will benefit his children in many ways. Although some of Cruise's recent stances have been controversial, taking firm control of the TV his kids watch is a sensible parenting decision.
Reportedly, he also does not allow video games and "forces" his children to play outdoors and do chores. In these choices he is certainly making the most sensible decisions he can as a parent. It is also his right as a parent to take charge of what his children are exposed to in his household. He does not need to relinquish control to a TV set. Neither do you. In fact, no parent needs to relinquish control to their TV set.
Kids These Days!
In contrast to Cruise's children, the average child these days watches over four hours of TV per day. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation study older children watch TV for 3:51 hours every day. According to the Nielsen Media Research, Inc. the average American watches 4:32 hours every day. Another study just released by the Kaiser foundation reveals that infants and toddlers are watching two hours per day on average. It takes effort and courage to go against the couch potato tide.
Many people may find this decision controversial. Nonetheless, the kids stand to benefit enormously. Here are a few of the benefits Tom Cruise's children will receive from this parenting decision:
* They will not watch 16,000 TV murders throughout their innocent childhood, which can shock and frighten and lead to a greater likelihood of becoming violent adults.
* They will not watch 14,000 sexual references on TV annually, which according to a RAND study, is associated with an increased likelihood of teens to experiment sexually.
* They will not watch 50,000 commercials every year, which will probably spare Mr. Cruise a lot of headaches.
* They will have more time to go outside and play, following the time-honored directive of parents for eons: "Go outside and play!"
* They are less likely to be obese. Not only do they avoid many sedentary hours in front of the TV and numerous junk food commercials, they go outside and play regularly, one of the best ways to exercise.
* They are less likely to have attention problems like ADHD.
* They are more likely to succeed in school. Of course, they have the added benefit of being specially tutored at home.
* They will have more time to pursue their dreams. The hours that the kids are not watching TV are available to do other activities, whether the kids would like to pursue acting or research into the origins of the universe.
Your kids can have many of the same advantages as Tom Cruise's
You do not need to be a famous actor or superstar to give your children many of these same benefits. You may not be able to afford private tutors and luxurious mansions for your children. However, by simply cutting out most or all TV time and sending them outside to play every day, your children can have a much healthier, happier life.
Parents, your mission is clear. Get in control of your children's (and yours!) TV watching and begin a new adventure with your family. This article will self-destruct in 30 seconds. Please, begin your mission immediately. Your children's future depends on you. Good luck!
=>Note: To my knowledge Mr. Cruise's stance has nothing to do with his publicly proclaimed Scientology beliefs. Trash Your TV neither endorses nor condemns Mr. Cruise's other various beliefs.
