Ciarán Hinds (Munich, There Will Be Blood) plays a widower living in an Irish seaside town who is struggling to adjust to his new role as the sole caretaker of his two children. When he volunteers at a local literary festival, his life converges with an author of supernatural fiction (Iben Hjejle, High Fidelity) and a self-obsessed novelist (Aidan Quinn, Legends Of The Fall). The love triangle engenders passion and rage, and Hinds’ character finds himself increasingly haunted by apparitions too vivid to be mere nightmares. *The Warlords Premieres Wednesday, March 31st at 8:15pm followed by encore presentations at 10:15pm and 12:15am* Starring: Jet Li, Andy Alu, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Xu Jinglei Directed by Peter Ho-Sun Chan Set in the midst of war and political upheaval during the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s, WARLORDS stars Jet Li as General Pang, who barely survives a brutal massacre of his fellow soldiers by playing dead, and joins a band of bandits led by Er Hu (Andy Lau) and Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro). After fighting back attackers from an helpless village, the three men take an oath to become “blood brothers,” pledging loyalty to one another until death, but things quickly turn sour and the three men become embroiled in a web of political deceit, and a love triangle between Pang, Er Hu and a beautiful courtesan (Wu Jing-Lei). *_SPOTLIGHT FEATURES – Highlighted feature films airing on HDNet Movies_* See program schedule or www.hdnetmovies.com for complete listings of dates and times *Amelie – premiers Wednesday, March 17th at 8:00pm* Starring Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus.

The nominees for the second annual Streamy Awards were revealed in a live webcast today. The Streamys are awarded to web TV series by the International Academy of Web Television — they’re similar to the Oscars, Emmys or Grammys.
Nominees were selected from 190,000 public submissions spanning 2,000 shows and 130 countries. There are 15 categories with five nominees in each. We’ve listed them all below, but there are a few items that are particularly notable.
Both Crackle’s The Bannen Way and Felicia Day’s The Guild lead the nominees with seven nominations each; The Bannen Way is nominated for best drama, and The Guild is nominated for best comedy. Easy to Assemble is just behind with six nominations, and Next New Networks’s YouTube viral hit Auto-Tune the News is up for four awards.
The main Streamy ceremony will take place on April 11 in Hollywood, California; the Craft Awards will be given out on the April 7. We’ll be in attendance, so don’t change that dial — or don’t switch to another web stream.
In the meantime, we’ll be covering the world of web television more closely than we have in the past. Each month we work with video analytics company Visible Measures to put out a chart listing the top 10 most popular web series, and we’ve written up a beginner’s guide to made-for-Internet TV with some samples of the best shows. We also have a list of companies that are reinventing TV online. More to come!

Phillip and Nancy Garrido's visit request meets sheriff's opposition

Nancy Garrido weeps as she sits with her attorney, Gilbert Maines, during her arraignment at the El Dorado Superior Court in Placerville, CA on Friday, August 28, 2009. Nancy Garrido's husband, Phillip Craig Garrido, appears in the background with his attorney, Susan Gellman. The Garridos, were charged with 28 felony counts, including rape, in the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard.The El Dorado County Sheriff is objecting to a request that Phillip and Nancy Garrido be allowed to visit each other in jail, saying it "is breathtaking in its audacity."
Lawyers for the pair say the two accused kidnappers of Jaycee Lee Dugard need to meet to make family decisions and that they must be allowed to discuss their pending court case.
But the sheriff's office ridicules the request, which will be heard in a court hearing Friday.
"The only justification offered by the Garrido co-defendants for their extraordinary request to visit each other is that they need to make 'family decisions,' " a court filing from Chief Assistant County Counsel Edward L. Knapp states.
"The pseudo-family the Garridos want to discuss was created by the kidnap, false imprisonment and multiple rapes of a young girl, producing two children. While it may be argued that a restoration of family values would improve the quality of American life in general, the assertion of family rights in a case where the 'family' was the product of 29 alleged felonies is astonishing."
The filing argues that there is no constitutional guarantee for inmates to visit each other and that arranging such visits could pose a security threat and overburden deputies at the El Dorado County Jail.
"Longstanding and uniformly applied County Jail policy and practice does not allow personal visitation between inmates, particularly by those who are co-defendants in a pending criminal case," the filing states, adding that the Garridos are seeking "special privileges that no one else gets."
"The Garridos do not have any right to make personal visits with each other because the essence of being in jail is that you don't get to visit whoever you please, under the conditions you might prefer," the filing states.
The county counsel's filing, made under the name of Sheriff Manfred Kollar, also points out that the trial court can order the jailing or release of an inmate but that it has no say over how the jail is managed.
The Garridos have pleaded not guilty in the kidnapping of Dugard in 1991 when she was 11. She allegedly was held captive by them for 18 years in their Antioch-area home, where she was forced to have two daughters with Phillip Garrido, a convicted rapist and kidnapper.
Attorneys for the pair did not respond to requests for comment this morning.
They also are seeking information on the whereabouts of Dugard or the identity of her lawyer.
The El Dorado County District Attorney already has filed objections to defense requests to allow the Garridos to see each other, and the sheriff's filing echoes those objections by noting Phillip Garrido is a "master manipulator" and that he "knows how to use concealed messages to threaten and coerce his victims."
"In 1972 he successfully coerced his minor rape victim into not testifying by threatening her," filing states. That refers to a case in Antioch where Garrido was charged with abducting a girl and raping her at a local motel; the charges were dropped just before trial when the victim declined to testify, authorities have said.
The filing also recounts the 1976 abduction and rape of Katie Callaway, who was taken to a Reno storage shed where she spent a night of terror at Garrido's hands.
"In 1977 he was convicted of raping another woman, and was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison, but in 1988 talked his way into being released from federal prison after serving only 11 years. He then tracked down his rape victim from 12 years before and used the cryptic phrase 'I haven't had a drink in 11 years,' interpreted by that victim to mean he hadn't raped in 11 years."
Three years later, Dugard was snatched from in front of her home near South Lake Tahoe as a fifth-grader walking to a nearby school bus stop.
She remained missing for 18 years until she was discovered alive in August.
Judge Douglas Phimister is scheduled to hear arguments on the visitation motion Friday afternoon in his Placerville courtroom.
Meanwhile, a separate court filing Phimister sealed from view indicates he received a declaration on Friday from Pam Lane involving the case, but he ordered lawyers not to reveal any information about it.
Phimister has previously sealed other documents related to his removal of attorney Gilbert Maines as Nancy Garrido's court-appointed attorney. Maines' appeal of his removal is pending.

An Open Letter to David Stern: Forget About Z, Worry About Your League
[New England Patriots, Sports, Fantasy Football] (Bleacher Report - Front Page)In a time where NBA teams are trading players, slashing salary, and producing a poor product for the fans of their cities, NBA Commissioner David Stern is attempting to block Zydrunas Ilgauskas’ return to Cleveland after the LEAGUE MANDATED 30-day waiting period.

In a time where NBA teams are trading players, slashing salary, and producing a poor product for the fans of their cities, NBA Commissioner David Stern is attempting to block Zydrunas Ilgauskas’ return to Cleveland after the LEAGUE MANDATED 30-day waiting period.
Honestly, I figured it would have happened a lot sooner than this; Stern is finally doing his part in the worldwide attempt to remove LeBron James from the city of Cleveland.
Over the weekend, sources reported that David Stern and the NBA will block and not allow big Z to return to Cleveland. It is well known that Ilgauskas has a strong desire to work a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and return to the Cavaliers in attempt to be a part of the title run for 2010.
Why am I not surprised that the league is finally stepping in? The media has been pressing LeBron and other superstars, such as Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors, to leave their “small market” cities in this summer’s big free agent class, and head to the bright lights of New York to help revive the drowning New York Knicks franchise. So it was only time the league office attempted to do their part in bringing LeBron to their “home.”
It seems like Stern, as well as the rest of the NBA, are scared that Big Z returning to Cleveland after that 30-day waiting period would provide the Cavaliers with just another weapon in their attempt to “win a ring for the King.”
Even though the goal of EVERY NBA team is supposed to be to put your team in the best position to win an NBA championship by following the league rules in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which the Cavaliers are doing. It seems like the league does not want this particular transaction to happen.
Why would they want it to happen? It is a well known fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers have to do their best to win the championship this year in order to keep LeBron in Cleveland post 2010.
If the Cavaliers win a championship, that means bumbling franchises, such as the Knicks and Nets, would have a difficult time prying LeBron from a first-class organization that continues to surround him with the players he desires, just to come play under the “lights of New York.”
Contract buyouts are a part of the game. Teams have been performing lopsided trades in order to slash payroll and cut their losses on a losing season since the day I was born. However, it is just convenient that Stern is stepping up to attempt to stop one now.
If Stern wants to stop things like these from happening, do not allow teams to buy players out of their contracts after a trade, require that a player must remain with a team for at least three months after ANY trade. This would remove the ability for players to be traded three or four times before the season starts, like Quentin Richardson did prior to beginning of this season.
Furthermore, Stern needs to stop focusing on the return of Ilgauskas to Cleveland and more on the state of his league. The New York Knicks just pulled off a blockbuster trade that brought an aging T-Mac to their team because of his $23 million expiring contract.
If the Knicks exercise all of their team options in the offseason, they will have a staggering four players under contract. These four players are Eddy Curry, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and Toney Douglas. Their four contracts, which all expire after the 2010-2011 season anyways, equal $17,782,904 of the projected $52 million salary cap next season.
Teams like the Knicks are slashing payroll and riding their rosters of players with contracts past 2010 to give themselves a chance at landing one of the premier free agents in the summer of 2010. How is this fair to the fans of NBA basketball?
Take a look at the New Jersey Nets as an example. They will have around $23 million owed out to seven players going into next season. Before the season they traded superstar Vince Carter to the Orlando Magic in order to rid themselves of his big contract so that they could have $30 million to spend in the summer of 2010.
They did not trade Vince Carter to attempt to get better; the Nets gave up on the 2009-2010 season before opening tip. Now their fans and organization get to enjoy the 5-51 record they have accumulated thus far.
I would like David Stern to publicly address how that is good for the business and fans of the NBA. How is a team giving up on their city and fans for a CHANCE at luring one of the big names in free agency ethical, fair, or right in the eyes of the Commissioner of the NBA?
I wonder if Stern even realizes that if these teams fail to bring a big name to their franchise this summer, that it will have a catastrophic affect on the state of these franchises, as well as the NBA.
Look at it from a fans’ perspective for a second. Would you pay to watch a team that had less than 10 wins last season if they missed out on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, or Chris Bosh? I know that I wouldn’t if I was a Nets fan. I don’t care if Jay-Z performed live at half-time of every home Nets game, my money would NOT be going into a franchise that gave up for a chance.
Lastly, David Stern, and the league for that matter, should be praising the work of the Cavaliers’ organization, not attempting to punish them. The front office, with the aid of owner Dan Gilbert, have turned around a franchise that was spiraling downward in attendance and merchandise sales, and looked destined for what happened to the Seattle Supersonics.
Granted, the team got lucky and won the lottery that hand delivered local product LeBron James to become the savior or the franchise, but one player is not enough to win a championship. If this was true, Michael Jordan would have won the NBA title every season he played.
The Cavaliers have followed the rules, surrounded LeBron James with championship caliber players, and have developed a blueprint for other franchises to build upon for the future. The city of Cleveland has experienced a significant increase in revenue and media exposure since the day that LeBron has stepped foot onto the court of the Gund/Quicken Loans Arena.
Instead of praising that, the league wants to punish the team for attempting to get better. It just doesn’t seem right does it?
Punish those who desire to lose and fail to produce a good product for their fans, not those who strive to win and become better Commissioner Stern.
Signed,
Cleveland Cavalier Fans

250 makeup artist, hair stylist and manicurist interviews, conducted.
Six pairs of legs, about to collapse.
Although it's hard to choose favorites when you see the blood, sweat and tears that go into creating every look at Fashion Week, now that the whole shebang is over, Team Backstage Beauty is reflecting on the hair and makeup looks that really inspired us. We'll be talking about the Fall 2010 beauty trends for months to come, but here are our initial thoughts.
Grace Gold: The tousled bed hair and smoky eyes inspired by Bridget Bardot and Catherine Deneuve at Vera Wang was my favorite look of the week - it's the kind of effortless glamour every woman wants. And the most fun beauty look I saw was at L.A.M.B. - it was like a rock 'n roll take on Bettie Page, with smoldering smoky eyes, vibrant red lips and a playfully sexy blunt bang. Just like founder Gwen Stefani, the whole vibe was just too cool!
Gillian Keonig: The hair at Suno and Gray Graham - two lines I probably knew the least about prior to Fashion Week- literally blew me away. Odile Gilbert's very vertical take on giraffe-like hair and necks for the girls at Suno, was truly other-worldly, while Privé stylist Pete Lennon constructed an equally awe-inspiring updo Gary Graham's alien-influenced collection-think an extreme stretched-out, blown-back take on a classic French twist.
Courtney Dunlop: I love the look of flushed cheeks but there wasn't much blush going on this year -- cheeks were "tawny" or "naturally contoured." So I fell in love with the sweet berry-stained cheeks (and lips!) at Caroline Seikaly, which makeup artist Talia Shobrook said were meant to make the models look like "girls going into the woods." Love that!

Dana Oliver: My favorite hairstyle from Fashion Week were the fishtail braids Redken's Rudi Lewis created for Adam Fall 2010. Lewis took the braided 'do up a few notches by adding a textured Mohawk. I also loved the wispy flyaways that floated around, giving it an effortless touch that I'm definitely mimicking this spring!
Lindsey Schickner: So many of the shows I covered had really simple beauty, with stick straight hair and a fresh-faced, natural makeup look, so I really loved Douglas Hannant because the beauty look was so different and dramatic. The hair and makeup was very futuristic, with lots of room for creativity (so refreshing in a sea of bare-aced. I loved watching Romero Jennings play with the shades of green as he painted eyeshadow on the models. And hair was just as creative and interesting as Edward Tricomi painted the models hair with different color chalk. Instead of a very subtle beauty look (like I had been seeing consistently at the other shows), the makeup was so striking and really complemented the clothes to give them even more life on the runway.

Laura Kenney: I'm in love with Tom Pecheux's gorgeous blue jean eyes for Derek Lam' "Myth of the West" collection. He tempered the navy and true blue shadows with a gorgeous slash on copper beneath the eyes and on the lips. And the casually messy hair by Orlando Pita was fab too, and falls into my theory that come Fall 2010, we will all morph into Kate Moss. Also, I'm running to the nail salon tonight to rock CND's moon (literally!) manicure at Ruffian. Love it!Fall 2010 Beauty Recap: Team Backstage Beauty's Fashion Week Favorites originally appeared on StyleList on Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:25:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

De olho no G-8, Paraná faz jogo atrasado diante do Iraty
[Brazil] (Correio Braziliense)Em jogo adiado pela chuva, Paraná Clube e Iraty disputam a única partida do Campeonato Paranaense 2010 durante o Carnaval, neste sábado, às 18h30 (de Brasília), na Vila Capanema.

Em jogo adiado pela chuva, Paraná Clube e Iraty disputam a única partida do Campeonato Paranaense 2010 durante o Carnaval, neste sábado, às 18h30 (de Brasília), na Vila Capanema. A vitória é essencial para o Tricolor que, neste momento, na nona colocação, não estaria classificado para a segunda fase da competição.
O técnico Marcelo Oliveira tem conseguido manter a calma nas entrevistas, mas a situação do time não é das melhores. Uma sequência de tropeços, derrota no clássico e empate na estreia da Copa do Brasil diante do Cerâmica deixaram o torcedor paranista ainda mais desconfiado. A escalação deve ser a mesma utilizada em Porto Alegre, mas com uma pontaria melhor após o caminhão de chances desperdiçadas.
Em um momento de afirmação do grupo, o treinador que o time jogando pelo resultado, em busca de confiança, mesmo que isso signifique apresentar um futebol feio em campo. "Um bico pode colocar a bola para dentro. Estamos jogando muito e concluindo pouco. São jovens jogadores que estão se afirmando. Na hora que a bola entrar, o time ganha confiança", avaliou.
Já o Azulão vem de derrota para o Coritiba, em partida que teve a chance de sair com um ponto após uma grande apresentação, com direito a sufoco sobre o adversário no final do jogo. O técnico Gilberto Pereira também gostaria de manter o mesmo esquema para defender sua sexta posição na classificação. No entanto, a situação é bem diferente.
O zagueiro Gilvan está vetado pelo departamento médico, enquanto o lateral esquerdo Marquinhos permanece como dúvida. Já Rogério, Sílvio e Diogo receberam o terceiro amarelo e cumprem suspensão. Uma vitória fora de casa pode deixar o Iraty na terceira colocação, atrás apenas do Coxa e do Atlético Paranaense.

Suicide lines: Vinsanity lives; Butler-to-Texas trade talk

Sports)Each weekday morning, BDL serves up a handful of NBA-related stories to digest with your el pollo chicken.Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel: "Dwight Howard put it best Monday night. 'Oh my God,' Dwight said after Vince Carter(notes) scored 48 in the Magic's 123-117 victory over the New Orleans Hornets, 'Vinsanity is back!' We echo those sentiments.

Each weekday morning, BDL serves up a handful of NBA-related stories to digest with your el pollo chicken.
Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel: "Dwight Howard put it best Monday night. 'Oh my God,' Dwight said after Vince Carter(notes) scored 48 in the Magic's 123-117 victory over the New Orleans Hornets, 'Vinsanity is back!' We echo those sentiments. Oh my God, did you see Vinsanity Monday night? Driving to the hoop for dipsy-doodle scoops. Nailing 3-pointers. Crossover dribbles that tied defenders up inknots. Wow — 48 points, 19-of-27 shooting and 6-of-10 from 3-point range. Just wow. This is the Vince Carter Magic fans have been waiting for ever since the deal was made during the offseason to bring Vince to town. Not that he has to score nearly 50 points to justify his worth to the team, but he does need to be able to occassionally take over games and lead the Magic to victory. Fans don't want to boo Carter like they have recently; they want to cheer him like they did Monday night. They want to believe the Magic did the right thing when they gambled after going to the Finals last season, retooled their team and brought in Carter."
David Aldridge, NBA.com: "The Wizards' desire to move [Caron] Butler has only increased in recent days, since they found out they will indeed get some cap relief from the NBA this season after losing Gilbert Arenas(notes) and Javaris Crittenton(notes) to suspension for the rest of the season. Washington's cap number will be reduced almost $4 million, according to sources — pro-rated amounts of the remainder of Arenas's $16.1 million and Crittenton's $1.47 million salaries — taking its cap number to a little more than $74 million. The cap threshhold is $69.9 million, meaning Washington could avoid paying tax if it can pare another $4 to $5 million in salaries off its books. That means Butler, though I suspect the Wizards will ask inquiring teams to remove Mike James(notes) and/or DeShawn Stevenson(notes) from their payroll as well. Butler winding up somewhere in Texas is most likely, with Washington probably deciding between Dallas' and Houston's competing offers before next week's All-Star Game. The Wizards are determined to get a young player back, though, and the Mavericks' only non-geezer is rookie guard Rod Beaubois — while Houston has a young guard like Kyle Lowry(notes) and an expiring big man contract in forward Luis Scola(notes) to pair with McGrady's $22 million expiring deal."
Dave McMenamin, ESPN: "The Lakers have now won two straight games without Kobe Bryant(notes) in the lineup against two teams that beat Los Angeles earlier in the season when Bryant actually did play. Does that mean that the Lakers are better without Kobe Bryant? That's preposterous, of course not. This isn't Bill Simmons' Ewing Theory in effect. Does it mean that the Lakers can handle their business without him? Sure, for a little while. Does it mean that Bryant should take it as a sign that Los Angeles doesn't need him in Utah on Wednesday and decide to rest straight on through the All-Star break and skip the festivities? No, absolutely not. Quite simply, if Bryant feels like he can play on Wednesday, he should. He has already relented to what his body was telling him despite his Bruce Willis-like will. And really, that's the only reason why Lakers fans should want him on the sidelines — to protect himself from himself so he doesn't risk any further injury turning a brief boo-boo into a daily detriment for the rest of the season."
Marla Ridenour, Akron Beacon-Journal: "Finding water in the arena has become more of a challenge since November, when the Cavs decided to remove all water fountains because of the outbreak of H1N1 flu. The change came as a gradual process. First the fountains were blocked off, then the water was cut off, then the fountains were removed. Complimentary 9-ounce cups of tap water are available at permanent concession stands, which excludes moveable specialty carts. Signs advising patrons of this new practice have been posted where the fountains used to be. The Cavs insist the decision — which came to light in a Monday story in the Plain Dealer — is a cutting-edge move to improve sanitation. Team spokesman Tad Carper compares it to the installation of full-body magnetometers at the entrances for enhanced security, considered an unnecessary expense by many teams. But to Joe Fan, the removal of the fountains looks like a blatant attempt to make more money by selling $4 bottled water. And that might not be all they're hawking. Standing in line for the complimentary cup subjects fans to the temptations of hot dogs, pizza, popcorn and nachos while they wait. How many have the willpower to take that free water and head back to his or her seat otherwise empty-handed?"
Chris Perkins, South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Two days after complaining the Heat's offense is too predictable and saying the team should be doing better, guard Dwyane Wade(notes) said he doesn't have an issue with coach Erik Spoelstra. Wade said if anyone thinks he does have a problem with Spoelstra they misconstrued his postgame words after Saturday's 95-91 loss at Chicago. 'I don't have a problem with coach at all,' Wade said after Monday's practice. 'Me and him are on one page with each other.' Wade, a six-time All-Star, also said he doesn't put himself above his teammates. 'It says 'Heat' on the front,' he said of the team's jerseys. 'It doesn't say 'Dwyane Wade.'' [...] 'It's not about Spo,' Wade said. 'Of course when you're losing someone is going to find a way to say, 'Hell is starting in Miami.'"
Frank Dell'Apa, Boston Globe: "Celtics' captain Paul Pierce(notes) practiced briefly Monday and is 'questionable' for the Celtics' visit to New Orleans Wednesday. 'Paul didn't do a lot, we actually pulled him out early,' (Coach Doc) Rivers said of Pierce. 'He wasn't moving around very well. He's questionable, I think he's going to play but right now we'll wait and see. We have a forced day off because we have to get to New Orleans before the parade.' The Celtics will travel Tuesday morning to avoid a Super Bowl parade in New Orleans, skipping practice. [...] 'They responded with a great practice, so that's good,' Rivers said of the Celtics' reaction to losing to the Magic. 'But we have to get back to that workman's mentality. We have to get back to wanting to be the best defensive team in the NBA. We have to get back to executing better, and we can't just keep relying on guys coming back off injury — and that has thrown us off a little bit because of lack of practice time, and all that. But I think that's becoming an excuse around here and we're not going to allow that. We're not going to allow that, we can't allow that.'"
John Jackson, Chicago Sun-Times: "Whether he's dealt before the Feb. 18 trade deadline or let go this summer when he becomes a restricted free agent, [Tyrus] Thomas' days with the Bulls are numbered. Too many in the organization have grown weary of his mood swings and petulance to bring him back. The issue for Thomas the rest of the season — and this is an amazing statement to make about the fourth pick in the 2006 draft — is whether he can show enough to make another team interested. General managers usually are willing to take flyers on players with as much physical ability as Thomas, but his reputation is so bad that no one might want to deal with him. After his one-game suspension for the tirade in Del Negro's office, Thomas was back at practice Monday at the Berto Center and will be in uniform tonight, when the Bulls visit the Indiana Pacers. But showing he still has a lot of maturing to do, Thomas took the back exit off the practice court and turned down a request to speak with reporters."
Fred Kerber, New York Post: "Chris Douglas-Roberts has one word for this season with the Nets. 'Hell.' There is no way to argue with the man. Unless you want to say the Nets' 2009-10 folly really hasn't been that good. Douglas-Roberts wears his passion on his sleeve. He spoke his mind all season, ruffled some feathers and now picks his words as carefully as fresh produce. He has heard his name mentioned in trade rumors, that his will be the next ticket out — although team president Rod Thorn said this weekend the Nets are not looking to trade the second-year wing. But all the recent developments, including a move to the bench, have affected him. 'A little bit. I'm just more cold. But all that stuff, I don't care one way or the other,' said Douglas-Roberts. 'Caring about winning? Absolutely. But everything else doesn't matter. All of this is because I want to win. I take losing bad. All of this, everything comes from me being a sore loser. I don't like losing.'"
Ailene Voisin, Sac Bee: "NBA Commissioner David Stern didn't offer any revelations during an hour-long conversation at his office early Monday, but he continues to closely monitor arena developments in Sacramento. How closely? While watching the Super Bowl on Sunday (and pulling for New Orleans), he was interrupted by a phone call from John Moag, the arena consultant working with the Gerry Kamilos' downtown arena/land swap plan. [...] 'The development of the Kamilos proposal was a pleasant surprise to me,' Stern said. 'The idea that was brought to us by the mayor (Kevin Johnson), that we used to call Plan B, was so inclusive in what it was doing, I had my doubts that it could even come to fruition as an idea put to paper. But I'm cautiously optimistic it will be something that everyone will be able to rally around.'"
Mike Wells, Indy Star: "Trying to solve the mystery of Brandon Rush(notes) is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. His body language and expressions are the same whether he has scored 20 points or missed 10 consecutive shots. 'That's always been me. I never show too much emotion,' Rush said. 'I never show it when I get down on myself or anything like that. That's always been my personality. It's too late to change me.' His teammates have tried to encourage him only to receive an occasional cold shoulder. His coaches have basically given up trying to flip the right switch. Coach Jim O'Brien can't talk about the second-year swingman without looking flustered or throwing up his arms in annoyance. What drives those in the organization up a wall is that Rush has as much potential as anybody on the roster."
Doug Smith, Toronto Star: "I've said this before and I'll say it again: Chris Bosh(notes) has handled this whole impending free agency thing better than anybody else in the league and for that I'm very thankful. He's been consistent with his response and he hasn't done anything distraction-causing like pine for a specific city or specific teammates. He's steadfast that it's a summer time issue and that's when it will be dealt with and that's first class. He was at it again Monday after practice when it was brought up for the billionth time and he gave the same answer for the billionth time. 'We don't even address it ... we're going to keep rolling, there's going to be a time and a place to talk about all that stuff and when it comes, I'm sure everybody will know about it.' Yes, we will. But, thankfully, we can wait until the summer to deal with it."
Geoffrey C. Arnold, The Oregonian: "Kevin Durant's teammates will receive a package in the next couple of days. Durant said he purchased gifts, 'Beats by Dr. Dre' stereo headphones, for each of his Oklahoma City teammates in appreciation of their help in making him an NBA All-Star this season. 'My teammates mean a lot to me, because they helped me get there. They made me into an All-Star this year,' Durant said. 'They were believing in me, trusting in me. Getting me open, passing the ball to me so I can make shots. It's important to me to let them know how much I thank them.'"

Directed by Patrick Alessandrin Two years have passed since elite police officer Damien Tomasso (Cyril Raffaelli) teamed up with reformed vigilante Leito (parkour originator David Belle) to save the notorious District 13, a racially charged ghetto populated by violent drug dealing gangs and vicious killers. Despite government promises to maintain order, the state of the district has deteriorated, and a group of corrupt cops and elected officials are conspiring to cause civil unrest in D13, looking for an excuse to raze the area and cash in on its redevelopment. Now Damian and Leito must join forces again, and use their mastery of martial arts and their unique physical skills to bring peace to the neighborhood by any means necessary before a proposed nuclear air-strike wipes it off the map. With bone crunching fights and death defying leaps, this adrenaline charged sequel takes the groundbreaking parkour action from DISTRICT B13 to thrilling new heights. *Program Note District B-13 will air at 7:00pm and 1:45am on February 3rd *_SPOTLIGHT FEATURES Highlighted feature films airing on HDNet Movies_* See program schedule or www.hdnetmovies.com for complete listings of dates and times *Doctor Zhivago premieres Sunday, February 7th at 6:00pm* Starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin.

Parole monitors found Garrido had just one violation
[Sacramento Bee] (SacBee -- Folsom/El Dorado News)Phillip Garrido, shown at a December hearing, was paroled in January 1988, but records reveal little new about his supervision.Over the course of eight years, as Jaycee Lee Dugard was allegedly held captive in Phillip Garrido's Antioch-area backyard, federal parole officials continued to debate whether he should be returned to prison, newly released documents indicate. But from the time he was paroled in 1988 after serving time for kidnapping and rape, he was considered in violation only on ...
Phillip Garrido, shown at a December hearing, was paroled in January 1988, but records reveal little new about his supervision.Over the course of eight years, as Jaycee Lee Dugard was allegedly held captive in Phillip Garrido's Antioch-area backyard, federal parole officials continued to debate whether he should be returned to prison, newly released documents indicate.
But from the time he was paroled in 1988 after serving time for kidnapping and rape, he was considered in violation only once, on a minor drug possession offense, and placed on electronic monitoring for about four months, according to the records released to The Bee under the Freedom of Information Act.
The toughest restriction Garrido faced was a requirement that he spend 3 1/2 months in a halfway house in Oakland after his January 1988 release from federal prison.
Garrido, whose original 1977 sentence would have kept him in federal prison until April 10, 2027, won early release and praise for his conduct in prison, according to records previously released to The Bee in September.
The 32 pages of records received Tuesday from the U.S. Parole Commission shed little new light on the supervision of Garrido after his release from prison.
Some portions, including apparent "difficulties in the community," are redacted, and other pages on his daily supervision were not released.
Federal officials indicated they are reviewing additional federal probation documents that will be released later.
A Sacramento Superior court judge is scheduled to decide later this week on whether to order the release of similar records held by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in response to a lawsuit brought by The Bee, Channel 3 (KCRA) and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Garrido and his wife are accused of kidnapping, sexual assault and other charges in the 1991 abduction of Dugard when she was an 11-year-old walking to a school bus stop near South Lake Tahoe.
They have pleaded not guilty in El Dorado Superior Court in Placerville, where the case has been tied up for months by legal squabbling over who will represent Garrido's wife, Nancy.
Gilbert Maines, the attorney appointed to represent her in August, was ordered removed by Judge Douglas Phimister in November over allegations that he discussed the case publicly and talked of writing a book.
Maines has adamantly denied the allegations and filed his latest appeal Friday in an appellate court in Sacramento.
But as the fight has dragged on he has faced other challenges, including notification by the county last week that he was being removed from the panel of attorneys judges select to represent clients who cannot afford to pay lawyers.
His home and office were searched Jan. 22 by armed officers from the state Franchise Tax Board executing a warrant tied to his failure to file tax returns for several years.
Maines said in an interview Monday that for 30 years he typically did not file state returns for three years at a time to save on the annual $2,500 tax preparation fees. He acknowledged that he should have filed annually and added that he never had a tax liability.
But Maines questioned the timing of his removal from the panel, which he said was not explained in a county letter he received, and the raid on his home and office.
"The correct question is, Why now?" he said. "If you've been doing it this way for 30 years, why now?"
Maines has been replaced in the Garrido case by Placerville attorney Stephen Tapson, although Maines has said he will continue his fight to be reinstated because Nancy Garrido has indicated she wants him to remain.
McGregor Scott, the former U.S. attorney who has represented the Dugard family at no cost and helped arrange a trust fund and birth certificates for the two girls Dugard had with Garrido, no longer represents the family.
The next hearing in the case is set for Feb. 26, when attorneys will argue a defense motion that has yet to be filed.

[Sacramento Bee] (SacBee -- Our Region)Phillip GarridoOver the course of eight years, as Jaycee Lee Dugard was allegedly held captive in Phillip Garrido's Antioch-area back yard, federal parole officials continued to debate whether he should be returned to prison, newly released documents indicate. But from the time he was paroled in 1988 after serving time for kidnapping and rape, he was considered in violation only once, on a minor drug possession offense, and placed on electronic monitoring for about four months, according to ...
Phillip GarridoOver the course of eight years, as Jaycee Lee Dugard was allegedly held captive in Phillip Garrido's Antioch-area back yard, federal parole officials continued to debate whether he should be returned to prison, newly released documents indicate.
But from the time he was paroled in 1988 after serving time for kidnapping and rape, he was considered in violation only once, on a minor drug possession offense, and placed on electronic monitoring for about four months, according to the records released to The Bee under the Freedom of Information Act.
The toughest restriction Garrido faced was a requirement that he spend 3 1/2 months in a halfway house in Oakland after his January 1988 release from federal prison.
Garrido, whose original 1977 sentence would have kept him in federal prison until April 10, 2027, won early release and praise for his conduct in prison, according to records previously released to The Bee in September.
The 32 pages of records received Tuesday from the U.S. Parole Commission shed little new light on the supervision of Garrido after his release from prison.
Some portions, including apparent "difficulties in the community," are redacted, and other pages on his daily supervision were not released.
Federal officials indicated they are reviewing additional federal probation documents that will be released later.
A Sacramento Superior court judge is scheduled to decide later this week on whether to order release of similar records held by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in response to a lawsuit brought by The Bee, Channel 3 (KCRA) and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Garrido and his wife are accused of kidnapping, sexual assault and other charges in the 1991 abduction of Dugard when she was an 11-year-old walking to a school bus stop near South Lake Tahoe.
They have pleaded not guilty in El Dorado Superior Court in Placerville, where the case has been tied up for months by legal squabbling over who will represent Garrido's wife, Nancy.
Gilbert Maines, the attorney appointed to represent her in August, was ordered removed by Judge Douglas Phimister in November over allegations that he discussed the case publicly and talked of writing a book.
Maines has adamantly denied the allegations and filed his latest appeal Friday in an appellate court in Sacramento.
McGregor Scott, the former U.S. attorney who has represented the Dugard family at no cost and helped arrange a trust fund and birth certificates for the two girls Dugard had with Garrido, no longer represents the family.
The next hearing in the case is set for Feb. 26, when attorneys will argue a defense motion that has yet to be filed.

Guest in Progress: Richard Peabody's Reading List of Experimental Fiction
[Writing] (Work-in-Progress)Last week's post about reading lists brought Richard Peabody to my email door. The chances are that if you’re a writer living in the DC area, you already know Richard—or will meet him soon!—because he’s such an essential part of the DC literary scene that it’s impossible not to cross paths with him either personally or in cyberspace.

Last week's post about reading lists brought Richard Peabody to my email door.
The chances are that if you’re a writer living in the DC area, you already know Richard—or will meet him soon!—because he’s such an essential part of the DC literary scene that it’s impossible not to cross paths with him either personally or in cyberspace. (He has nearly 2000 Facebook friends.) Founder of the wonderful and long-lived journal Gargoyle and the editor of many fine anthologies (see below for details), he’s also a wonderful writer and a gifted teacher. He’s smart and funny and generous and deeply passionate about books.
Anyway…his email alluded to the comment in my post about “books every writer simply should read” and said that for fun, he was sending me his list of books that would fall into that category. Great, I thought, maybe I can post it on my blog, and I opened the attachment.
The list was 25 pages long.
Truly, this was one of the most amazing lists I’ve ever seen, but it was too long to post (though I'm most definitely hanging onto this amazing resource!).
So my self-interest started churning: My knowledge of experimental literature is lacking, and maybe I could get him to cull out a few titles that I might add to my 2010 reading list (which, at the moment, is composed of Moby-Dick). Richard knows the field from top to bottom, past and present, and he teaches a very popular workshop in experimental fiction at Johns Hopkins. So I invited him to come up with the 12-15 titles he would recommend to someone like me, who wants to learn more about what’s being done out there. Here’s what he came up with, another equally amazing and wonderfully annotated list:
I (Heart) Laurence Sterne
By Richard Peabody
My job is to seduce you to the dark side of fiction writing, where as the bumper stickers say, “We have Cookies.” A mischievous mysterious place otherwise known as avant-garde, Post modern, meta fiction, magical realism, PoMo, surreal, whacked out, or the all encompassing moniker “that weird shit.”
Leslie was generous with her Blog but keeping this to 15 or so titles is nearly impossible for a list-maker like me. So I’m cheating by adding the required texts for my Experimental Writing Workshop at Johns Hopkins from this past fall:
J. Austen & S. Grahame Smith –Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
P. Geyh, F.G. Leebron & A. Levy –Postmodern American Fiction: A Norton Anthology
Cris Mazza & J. DeShell – Chick-Lit: PostFeminist Fiction
Cris Mazza, J. DeShell & E. Sheffield—Chick-Lit #2: No Chick Vics
Rusty Morrison & Ken Keegan—ParaSpheres 1: Extending Beyond the Spheres of
Literary and Genre Fiction. (ParaSpheres #2 is due out any second)
David Young & K. Hollaman—Magical Realist Fiction
The Young gives you a decent historical grounding in both the Euro and Latin American traditions. The Norton gives you a broad survey of the US scene since the 60s with William S. Burroughs, Kathy Acker and the SciFi of Samuel Delaney, Ursula LeGuin and Octavia Butler, while Chick-Lit and ParaSpheres bring you up to speed to the right now. And love it or hate it, what S. Grahame Smith did to poor Jane Austen is legal (you, too, can write though any work in the public domain, as the LANGUAGE poets have been doing for eons) and has created an odd boom of off-the-wall works as writers scramble to add zombies to Huckleberry Finn, War of the Worlds, The Wizard of Oz, and so on. Smith’s work in progress is Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
I would also add an interesting book on how to write experimental fiction. Lance Olsen—Rebel Yell: A Short Guide to Fiction Writing. Part interviews, part assignments with examples. Olsen is a master writer and thinker.
And for those with an interest in the history of women writing extreme fiction do find a copy of E.G. Frideman & M. Fuchs –Breaking the Sequence—Women’s Experimental Fiction, which gives an overview on the women who were pioneers including Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein.
My picks for a quick dip into the Experimental oceans in the Aughts race beyond the snippets by the masters in the above anthologies and would be the following:
Flann O’Brien – At Swim-Two-Birds
Who can resists a novel about a man writing a novel about a man writing a novel whose characters come alive when he sleeps and rewrite everything?
Jeanette Winterson—The Passion
One of Winterson’s irresistible books from early on in what has become a splendid career. She’s a true original. Part history, part collage, and always fun. And the musical language!
Kurt Vonnegut—Breakfast of Champions
Everybody has their own faves. When the author enters a scene in this book and breaks the fourth wall to talk directly to the reader my young mind was blown.
Donald Barthelme –Sixty Stories
Barthelme was one of the reasons people read The New Yorker in the 60’s. His stories exist sans arc. They’re flat from beginning to end and endlessly fascinating. Like Charles Addams on acid.
Juan Rios – Loves That Bind
A Spanish writer who is as inventive as he is talented. Twenty-six letters to 26 women. Each is a literary character from another author’s work. Each chapter in the style of the existing novel. D is Daisy. L is Lolita. Z is Zazie. Can you figure them all out?
David Mitchell – Cloud Atlas
Mitchell wiped out everybody with this one. A frolic through time and space and identity. Critics compare him to Philip K. Dick, Umberto Eco, and Haruki Murakami. Michael Chabon calls it, “The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a puzzle-book. . . .”
Octavia Butler—Bloodchild and Other Stories
Buy it for the title story alone. Butler always investigated race and sexuality and the idea of male pregnancy at the whim of another species is way out.
Mark Z. Danielewski--House of Leaves
A self-published ghost story about a haunted house with all sorts of odd typography, different colors of ink, drawings, that gathered such a following that a major house picked it up and reproduced it. Not for the faint of heart.
Eurydice – f/32
What happens when a woman is disassociated from her vagina, which runs off on its own adventures?
Kelly Link –Pretty Monsters
Absolutely one of the cleverest writers out there right now. She runs her own litmag and small press (with her husband) and writes stories that you will never forget. She’s like the second coming of Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, and all of those other Twilight Zone staffers, with a big dose of James Tiptree thrown in for spice.
Jasper Fforde—The Eyre Affair
Sort of Monty Python meets Douglas Adams meets LitCrit 101. Thursday Next, a Special Operative in literary detection, has to enter into the text of Bronte’s novel to find the absent Jane Eyre. Loads of fun. And there are sequels.
Karen Elizabeth Gordon—Paris out of hand (a wayward guide)
A completely invented guidebook to Paris, which is still somehow an emotionally connected tribute to all things Parisian.
Katherine Dunn—Geek Love
There are always rumors that this will be a movie someday but I have no idea how anybody could film it. Terry Gilliam? Maybe? I wish Dunn would write another novel but how to top this? The ultimate weird circus.
Ted Mooney—Easy Travel to Other Planets
Infamous for a scene in which a woman makes it with a porpoise but so much more than that. An alternate earth where things are coming apart.
Gilbert Sorrentino—Mulligan’s Stew
A tribute to all things James Joyce which begins with Sorrentino’s rejection letters from editors and publishers for the novel. Characters are grabbed from Dashiell Hammett and Joyce and swirled together into a brand new confection.
Hope these tickle your fancy.
But what about Borges, Calvino, Cortrazar, Garcia-Marquez, Grass, Pynchon, Keri Hulme, Rushdie? And how to resist Tibor Fischer’s The Collector Collector, told from the POV of a 5,000-year-old Sumerian pot?
Ahh. So many books out there. The above is tonight’s list. Try me tomorrow and it’ll be something completely different. ~~Richard Peabody

Secretly scoffing Mars Bars? Falling asleep live? Getting 'hit by a bull'? Rich Pelley's got some questions for you, David Dimbleby
Hi, Dimbers! Your new show, The Seven Ages Of Britain, is billed as "a landmark history of Britain's greatest art and artefacts over 2,000 years." Are we an arty-farty nation then?
Yes. We're world leaders at it now and we have been for years. But I wouldn't use the word "arty-farty". Sounds a bit rude!
Did you interview Banksy? The Guide tried but we got the wrong bloke (1)!
I didn't try! How did you get the wrong bloke? I met Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst and Gilbert and George (2) who I got to dance with at Spitalfields. I thought Gilbert and George would be very mannered but they were completely charming and friendly.
You skived your first Question Time in 15 years (3) claiming you'd been "hit by a bucking bullock". Most people just put on a poorly voice.
Freelancers can't pull sickies. If you don't turn up you don't get paid. If I'd been doing a regular job I'd have been off for a month on sick pay. I'd been knocked out for 20 minutes and I was concussed in a hospital bed. It was more convincing than saying you've got to go to your grandmother's funeral!
You were famously caught scoffing a Mars on camera (4). Did you claim it back on expenses?
It was such a good advertisement I expected to get a gross of Mars Bars. They're such cheapskates, I didn't get anything! I still eat Mars Bars, although they're a bit sweet for my taste nowadays.
And they're smaller (5)!
Not just Mars Bars. KitKats, Maltesers … everything's getting smaller as one gets older!
Arf! The BBC plans to cover the next general election (6) from 10pm Thursday to Friday afternoon. Ever worry about nodding off first in case Paxman and Vine draw on your face and shave off an eyebrow?
I only once nodded off on air. It was 11.30 at night on a programme called 24 Hours and a really boring person was talking really boringly. But the adrenaline flows on election night. The question you need to ask is, "Will you need to pee between 10 at night and four in the afternoon?" I don't know the answer yet. Television is like being in space. You don't need to drink or pee. It's very odd.
Tony Blair was worried Noel Gallagher would trash Number 10 when he popped over in 1997. Is that why you remain NFI (7)?
I did go to Number 10, when [Alexander] Douglas-Home (8) was prime minister. I knew one of his children and I went to have a glass of champagne on his birthday. That's the only time I've been except to interview prime ministers. I don't do socialising with politicians.
Thanks, Dimbers! Which David Dimbleby are you on Twitter? Dimbleby (a mere 16 followers), David Dimbleby (an embarrassing nine followers) or daviddimbleby (a Billy No Mates six followers)?
I'm not on Twitter. But we get huge twitterings on Question Time. Someone once twittered, "I want David Dimbleby as my grandfather." Half an hour later the twitters read, "I want to marry David Dimbleby." Half an hour later, "I want to have David Dimbleby's babies."
One actually "tweets" on Twitter, not "twitters".
Thanks. I'll remember that. You're very helpful. You've told me all sorts of things I didn't know, even though this was the most insulting interview in every way. Goodbye!

Kidnap suspect misses Jaycee Dugard and daughters, says new attorney
[Sacramento Bee] (SacBee -- Our Region)Nancy Garrido conveyed a message from jail Thursday to Jaycee Lee Dugard and her two daughters: she misses and loves them. The message from the woman accused with her husband of kidnapping Dugard in 1991 was delivered to the media by Garrido's new attorney, Stephen Tapson.

Nancy Garrido conveyed a message from jail Thursday to Jaycee Lee Dugard and her two daughters: she misses and loves them.
The message from the woman accused with her husband of kidnapping Dugard in 1991 was delivered to the media by Garrido's new attorney, Stephen Tapson. Tapson was formally appointed to the case Thursday by a Placerville judge who booted Garrido's original lawyer, saying he was fed up with delays.
That attorney, Gilbert Maines, has been fighting since November to remain on the high-profile case. He said he would continue his efforts through court appeals because Garrido wants him retained.
"If she wants me removed, that's a different story," Maines said outside the El Dorado Superior Court's Placerville courthouse after a brief hearing. "Just because I respect the judge doesn't mean I won't fight this."
Thursday's action marked the third time Judge Douglas Phimister has sent Maines packing following claims he boasted about writing a book on the case over drinks at his Placerville country club.
Maines denies the allegations and has appealed Phimister's efforts to have him removed. On Thursday, despite yet another pending appeal, Phimister made it clear he had had enough.
"This case has been sidetracked by the issues of counsel, and that could adversely affect the rights of the defendants," the judge said, ordering Maines to hand over all documents in the case.
Tapson, who had been serving as interim attorney while the matter was hashed out, then asked Phimister to allow Garrido to be released on bail, noting that she has no previous criminal record. She and her husband, Phillip, are being held at the El Dorado County jail.
"I consider her to be a danger to the community and also a flight risk," the judge replied. He set bail at $20 million.
The Garridos are charged with kidnapping Dugard in 1991, when she was an 11-year-old girl heading out for school. Dugard was discovered living with the couple near Antioch in August, along with two young girls authorities say she bore to Phillip Garrido during her 18-year captivity.
Following Thursday's hearing, Tapson said Nancy Garrido wanted Dugard and her daughters to know she misses them. "I've got an old briefcase with tears on it," the attorney said.
He takes over a case that may not come to trial for more than a year. Phillip Garrido's public defender, Susan Gellman, told the judge she planned to file a motion next month but did not disclose its nature. The judge set Feb. 26 to hear the motion.

Judge names new lawyer for Nancy Garrido, sets bail at $20 million
[Sacramento Bee] (SacBee -- Top Stories)Nancy Garrido, 54, has pleaded not guilty to rape, kidnapping and other charges in the case.Fed up with delays in the kidnap case against Phillip and Nancy Garrido, a judge in Placerville today booted defense attorney Gilbert Maines as Nancy Garrido's lawyers and ordered the case to move forward.

Nancy Garrido, 54, has pleaded not guilty to rape, kidnapping and other charges in the case.Fed up with delays in the kidnap case against Phillip and Nancy Garrido, a judge in Placerville today booted defense attorney Gilbert Maines as Nancy Garrido's lawyers and ordered the case to move forward.
Maines said he would continue his fight to represent her, adding that Garrido wants him as her attorney.
But the judge instead appointed Stephen Tapson as the attorney to handle the case.
"This case has been sidetracked by the issues of counsel, and that could adversely affect the rights of the defendants," said El Dorado Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister.
Tapson later asked Phimister to allow Nancy Garrido to be released on bail, noting that she has no previous criminal record.
Phimister agreed, setting her bail at $20 million, saying, "I consider her to be a danger to the community and also a flight risk."
The Garridos are charged with kidnap, sexual assault and related charges in the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Duggard when she was 11 years old.
Duggard was discovered living with the Garridos in Antioch in August, along with two young girls she allegedly was forced to have with Phillip Garrido.
Tapson said after court that Nancy Garrido wanted to send a message through the media to Jaycee and her two daughters that she "misses them and loves them."
Tapson said Nancy Garrido was extremely emotional about not being able to see them.
"I've got an old briefcase with tears on it," Tapson said.
Phimister set the next hearing in the case for March 25.
But Maines said outside court that he will continue fighting to be reinstated.
Maines filed a new appeal Tuesday in Superior Court in Placerville and said if that is denied he will return for the third time since November to the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento.
Phillip Garrido is not eligible for bail because of a hold placed on him by corrections officials in Nevada, where he was previously convicted of rape and kidnap.

Two people on his interview list have been identified as former Giants coach Jim Fassel, who now coaches UFL champion Las Vegas, and former Raiders offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, the head coach of CFL champion Montreal.
Several sources, including one within the organization, believe Davis may re-interview 2009 candidates Kevin Gilbride, the Giants’ offensive coordinator, and Winston Moss, a Packers assistant head coach, if he hasn’t already.
Of course that’s just the beginning. Continue after the jump for the FULL list.

Avatar and other movies with disabled people
[Moms] (To The Max)A few days ago, we saw Avatar. It is spectacular, breakthrough, breathtaking, spellbinding, adjective etc. It really was that good, aside from the sappy love song at the end. As I was taking in all that magnificence, I kept thinking about one thing: How great it was that the starring role is about a guy with disabilities.

A few days ago, we saw Avatar. It is spectacular, breakthrough, breathtaking, spellbinding, adjective etc. It really was that good, aside from the sappy love song at the end.
As I was taking in all that magnificence, I kept thinking about one thing: How great it was that the starring role is about a guy with disabilities. Oh, OK, I also kept thinking how hot Sam Worthington is. He plays Jake Sully, a paraplegic ex Marine. One of the bazillion special effects in the movie is how believably atrophied they made his legs look.
As I watched Sam, I literally started thinking, "Wow, maybe Max can be in the movies! He's got the looks, the charm! Who cares if he can't really talk!! Bring on The Color Purple, Part 2!" But, sadly, it's rare to find actors with actual handicaps starring in movies or on TV. In the hit TV show Glee, for example, Artie—a character who uses a wheelchair—is played by an able-bodied actor. While I'd like to think to think they could have found a handicapped actor to play the Avatar role, it comes down to who's box office bait and sadly, there aren't any big-name handicapped actors in Hollywood.
Avatar got mixed praise from paraplegics, according to this ABC News/Health article (thanks for telling me about it, Louise). J. Scott Richards, director of research at the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center at the University of Alabama, pointed out that Hollywood always depicts extremes when it shows characters with disabilities: "A physically achieving athlete in a wheelchair, or the opposite end of that—someone who is miserable and has a horrible life. I'd much rather see the middle of the road. Where people are just people but they happen to be in a wheelchair." A-men.
I've recently seen a couple of outstanding documentaries about kids with disabilities. First, the amazingly inspiring film Including Samuel, by director Dan Habib.

The movie chronicles his family's life to include their little boy, Samuel—who has cerebral palsy—in every aspect of their lives. Samuel so reminds me of Max.
Then a woman I used to work with told me that her friend, Jo Sittenfeld, had directed a documentary about two families with kids who have autism. It's called Ethan & Jennifer.

I watched it Friday night, and it is a candid, beautifully shot, moving film that any parent of a kid with special needs will appreciate. I loved this line from Ethan's mom: "He is who he is. I don't want people to think our life is a tragedy. But also, I don't want them to think it's no big deal. It is somewhere in the middle." Jo said it would be OK if I passed along my copy, so the first person to request it in a comment gets it (just leave your email, please). If you would like to contact Jo about a screening copy, contact her at jo@ethanandjenniferfilm.com.
Some other good documentaries about people with disabilities—I haven't seen most of them, I just did a massive Google search:
Best Boy (1979): This film follows the director's mentally-handicapped cousin, who was 52 at the time this was made and still living with his parents.Hear and Now (2007): In this award-winning film by Irene Taylor Brodsky, she follows the story of her parents—born deaf—who get cochlear implants and hear for the first time.

Normal People Scare Me (2006): Created by a 17-year-old with autism, this documentary features interviews with 65 people representing different levels on the autism spectrum.
Emmanuel's Gift (2005): A disabled man, born in Ghana, attempts to overcome the stigma of disability. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey.Sound and Fury (2000): A documentary about two families with very different takes on the issue of cochlear implants.
Murderball (2005): An award-winning film that tracks the U.S. Quad Rugby Team's quest to compete in the Paralympics. Raw, funny, powerful and one of my all-time favorite movies.
How's Your News? (1999): A hilarious documentary about five people with disabilities, ranging from Down Syndrome to cerebral palsy, who travel around the country in an RV and conduct on-camera interviews with the public.In The Land of the Deaf (1992): This documentary details the lives of hearing-imapired people from all walks of life.
When Billy Broke His Head...and Other Tales of Wonder (1995): The director, and narrator, of this film tells the story of his brain injury and its aftermath, then embarks on a cross-country journey to meet disability-rights activists.
And here are some movies about people with disabilities, most summaries courtesy of IMDB:

He learned to paint and write with his only controllable limb, his left foot.The Diving Bell and The Butterfly: A stroke victim, at the time the editor of French Elle, figures out how to communicate by blinking his eye.

The Other Sister: A mentally retarded girl proves herself to be every bit as capable as her "perfect" sister when she moves into an apartment and starts college.

Yarn Princess: A mildly retarded woman has to fight to keep her kids after her husband is diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Slingblade: A simple-minded man, hospitalized since his childhood murder of his mother and her lover, is released to start a new life in a small town.
Reach for the Sky: The true story of airman Douglas Bader who overcame the loss of both legs in a 1931 flying accident to become a successful fighter pilot and wing leader during World War II.
My Louisiana Sky: A girl comes to terms with her mentally challenged parents.
During my manic Google search, I also found out that there's a film festival, Different From What?, taking place January 29-31 in Tempe, which explores ability and disability from multiple perspectives. There's an amazing lineup of films, especially the guest film, Shooting Beauty: "Shot over the span of nearly a decade, Shooting Beauty tells the eye-opening story of an aspiring fashion photographer whose career takes a life changing turn when she discovers true beauty at a center for people living with significant disabilities. When she begins inventing cameras her new friends can use, a surprising story unfolds that initial reviewers are calling 'more than a film... a masterpiece.'”
It sounds great, I hope I get to see it.
Anyway, don't you think it's time that more disabled people (and kids) were featured in movies and on TV? Wouldn't it be great for our kids to see people in starring roles who look and act like they do? Wouldn't it be great for all people to get used to seeing handicapped people in these roles? Share your thoughts! -
Appellate court upholds ouster of Nancy Garrido's lawyer
[Sacramento Bee] (SacBee -- Courts/Legal News)Gilbert Maines, left, has fought to represent Nancy Garrido.Gilbert Maines' on-again, off-again effort to represent Nancy Garrido in her kidnapping trial was off again Thursday after an appellate court in Sacramento upheld his removal from the case.

Gilbert Maines, left, has fought to represent Nancy Garrido.Gilbert Maines' on-again, off-again effort to represent Nancy Garrido in her kidnapping trial was off again Thursday after an appellate court in Sacramento upheld his removal from the case.
"This came as a complete surprise to me," the Placerville attorney said shortly after the order was issued by the 3rd District Court of Appeal.
Maines was appointed to represent Garrido in August after she and her husband, Phillip, were arrested in the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard. Maines has been fighting since November to stay on the case.
He was accused of boasting about the case and the possibility of a book deal over afternoon cocktails at his Placerville country club in late October.
Those allegations made their way to El Dorado Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister, who had appointed Maines to the case.
Phimister heard evidence on the claims in closed session and ordered Maines removed because of a conflict of interest. Maines denied the allegations and went to the appellate court, where he won a stay of his ouster.
During the wrangling, however, others apparently came forward with new allegations about Maines talking about the case improperly in September, and Phimister held a closed hearing Dec. 29 to hear those claims.
The new evidence, which was sealed by the court, included five exhibits and testimony from various witnesses, including a police officer, discussing Maines' alleged behavior.
"They generally said I was talking out of school, I was talking about the case," Maines said. "First of all, there's not a gag order.
"And, even assuming I did talk – and I don't admit I did – if there's something wrong with that, it's up to my client to say."
Nancy Garrido has said previously she wanted Maines to stay on the case, and Maines said he will appeal the latest order if she still wants to retain him.
He cannot contact her directly because he is not her attorney. Instead, he must go through Stephen Tapson, a veteran Placerville lawyer appointed as interim counsel while the matter is being decided.
Tapson could not be reached Thursday.
Jaycee Lee Dugard was 11 when she was snatched off a street by her home near South Lake Tahoe in 1991. Dugard, now 29, was found in August living with the Garridos near Antioch. Authorities say she bore two children to Garrido during her long captivity.
Phillip and Nancy Garrido face kidnapping, rape and other charges that could send them to prison for life. Both have pleaded not guilty. Their next court hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21 in Placerville.

The embattled former attorney for Nancy Garrido plans to return to court today in yet another bid to get back on the case.
"I'm doing what my client has asked me to do," Maines said Friday. "I don't have a choice."
So, the 69-year-old Placerville lawyer will be filing an appeal of his removal from the case in El Dorado Superior Court today.
It will mark the fourth time since November he has filed an appeal to continue representing Garrido, who is accused along with her husband, Phillip, of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard from her South Lake Tahoe neighborhood in 1991, when Dugard was 11.
Judge Douglas Phimister, who is overseeing the Garrido case, appointed Maines as Nancy Garrido's defense attorney in August.
The same judge bounced him Nov. 5 in a closed session during which evidence was presented that Maines had boasted about writing a book on the case over cocktails at his Placerville country club.
Maines denied the allegation and appealed his removal to the Superior Court and then the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento.
The issue has bounced between the trial court and the appellate court, with Phimister receiving new allegations against Maines in a closed hearing on Dec. 29.
Maines has spent more time fighting to stay on the case than the lawyers involved have spent in court discussing the substance of the actual kidnapping, rape and conspiracy charges facing the Garridos.
Maines can't contact Garrido directly in the El Dorado County jJail while waging his battle, because technically he no longer represents her. Instead, he has had to work through the interim attorney appointed by Phimister - Stephen Tapson.
Maines said he has obtained a new declaration from Garrido indicating she wants Maines as her lawyer. That material will be filed todaytues along with other points Maines will argue. He said he will ask that his filing be sealed because the judge so far has kept the other proceedings in this fight under seal.
Maines said his latest appeal will focus on the basic question of whether a client can be denied the attorney she wants.
"The issue is: Can the court remove appointed counsel at any time it wants to for any reason it wants?" Maines said. "My client says she doesn't see that I've done anything wrong, and she wants her lawyer back."
The Garridos' next court hearing is scheduled for Thursday and likely cannot proceed without the attorney issue settled.
If Maines loses his appeal in Superior Court, he will proceed to the 3rd District appellate court, he said. Meanwhile, he intends to be in court Thursday along with Nancy Garrido's current interim attorney.

Maines is fighting his removal from the case by an El Dorado Superior Court judge.The dispute over who will represent Nancy Garrido in the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping trial is not settled yet, with an appellate court agreeing Tuesday to extend its deadline for a final decision.
El Dorado Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister had removed court-appointed attorney Gilbert Maines from representing her, apparently over claims that Maines had talked of writing a book on the case.
Maines denied that and appealed his removal to the state 3rd District Court of Appeal, which last week reinstated Maines and gave Phimister until Thursday to vacate his order removing Maines or file papers to continue his effort.
The El Dorado Superior Court asked for an extension, and the appellate court on Tuesday agreed to push its deadline back to Jan. 11. If Phimister does not vacate his order by then, he has until Jan. 21 to file additional papers pursuing Maines' removal.

Maines denied the allegation and appealed his removal to the Superior Court and then the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento.
The issue has bounced between the trial court and the appellate court, with Phimister receiving new allegations against Maines in a closed hearing on Dec. 29.
Maines has spent more time fighting to stay on the case than the lawyers involved have spent in court discussing the substance of the actual kidnapping, rape and conspiracy charges facing the Garridos.
Maines can't contact Garrido directly in the El Dorado County jJail while waging his battle, because technically he no longer represents her. Instead, he has had to work through the interim attorney appointed by Phimister - Stephen Tapson.
Maines said he has obtained a new declaration from Garrido indicating she wants Maines as her lawyer. That material will be filed todaytues along with other points Maines will argue. He said he will ask that his filing be sealed because the judge so far has kept the other proceedings in this fight under seal.
Maines said his latest appeal will focus on the basic question of whether a client can be denied the attorney she wants.
"The issue is: Can the court remove appointed counsel at any time it wants to for any reason it wants?" Maines said. "My client says she doesn't see that I've done anything wrong, and she wants her lawyer back."
The Garridos' next court hearing is scheduled for Thursday and likely cannot proceed without the attorney issue settled.
If Maines loses his appeal in Superior Court, he will proceed to the 3rd District appellate court, he said. Meanwhile, he intends to be in court Thursday along with Nancy Garrido's current interim attorney.

First Cup: Thursday
[NBA Basketball, Sports] (ESPN.com - TrueHoop)Michael Wilbon of The Washington Post: "We've gone too far now, the way we always go too far these days. We've made Gilbert Arenas Public Enemy No. 1, which is absurd. Look, Arenas has, by himself, brought about the trouble he's in. And in short time it could be deemed criminal behavior, having those guns in the District of Columbia. Still, is Arenas so evil that all the merchandise bearing his name and number has to be pulled from Verizon Center? And from the NBA Store in New York? And from NBA ...
- Michael Wilbon of The Washington Post: "We've gone too far now, the way we always go too far these days. We've made Gilbert Arenas Public Enemy No. 1, which is absurd. Look, Arenas has, by himself, brought about the trouble he's in. And in short time it could be deemed criminal behavior, having those guns in the District of Columbia. Still, is Arenas so evil that all the merchandise bearing his name and number has to be pulled from Verizon Center? And from the NBA Store in New York? And from NBAStore.com, where you couldn't even customize a jersey and have Arenas's name on it? Is what he did so heinous his likeness has to be scrubbed off of every building in downtown Washington, like he's Al Capone? I'm not about to back away from my earlier position, that if I ran the Wizards I'd try to have the remainder of his $111 million contract voided, and that I understand the league-ordered suspension for that ridiculous pregame pantomime in Philadelphia of firing pistols and his overall cavalier attitude about the offense. But don't tell me we have to go as far as Sethi saying in 'The Ten Commandments': 'Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet. Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of Egypt. Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.' Is that really what we want to do with Gilbert Arenas, which is the direction in which the ridicule seems to be taking us?"
- Ailene Voisin of The Sacramento Bee: "You think Geoff Petrie and the Maloofs aren't thinking that, finally, after the devastating Webber injury and its debilitating impact on the franchise, that the basketball gods aren't gazing favorably on Sacramento? Not only is Griffin ailing, but Tyreke Evans was on the draft board only because Memphis selected Hasheem Thabeet, Oklahoma City took James Harden, and Petrie and Paul Westphal made the wise decision to draft the gifted Evans instead of Jonny Flynn, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings or Ricky Rubio, despite the club's obvious need for a true point guard and a charismatic personaltiy/player to boost ticket sales. There is no such thing as a Comeback Executive of the Year award, but if there were, Petrie is the leading candidate. Evans. Omri Casspi. Jon Brockman. And why do I suspect he's going to pull off one of his infamous trades by the Feb. 18 deadline? Sometimes you just have to ride the wave."

Dave Krieger of The Denver Post: "In the euphoria following their smackdown of the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, it was tempting to conclude that the Nuggets
can contend for an NBA championship just the way they are. But judging by the smoke emanating from the association's rumor mill, the front office isn't buying it. In recent days, the Nuggets have been rumored to be pursuing everyone from veteran Indiana big man Jeff Foster to young Toronto star Chris Bosh as they seek another big man in anticipation of a possible rematch with the Lakers in the Western Conference playoffs. Unfortunately, a deal is more easily discussed than done. Having allowed their big trade exception from the Chauncey Billups-Allen Iverson deal to expire at the beginning of the season, the Nuggets will have to be creative to make something happen in the trade market. Their only remaining trade exception is worth just $3 million — not enough to get anything significant done. So they will have to trade a member of their playing rotation, find a team willing to take all the flotsam from the end of their bench, or construct a three-team deal in which the third team can absorb some extra salary. ... As Wednesday's powerful display demonstrated, the Nuggets are tantalizingly close to being true championship contenders. Between now and Feb. 18, they'll have to decide whether they are willing to take one more step."
- Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News: "With a new preppie-style 'do, Dirk Nowitzki used an old friend, the fadeaway jumper on the baseline, to surpass 20,000 points for his career. It's something Nowitzki will remember for a lifetime. But as coach Rick Carlisle said: 'He'd rather have the win than 20,000 points. That's where the disappointment is. You got a guy who is pure basketball heart. He'd do anything to win any ball game and wouldn't care how many points he scored.' There isn't enough of that attitude showing through with the Mavericks these days. Their home record keeps slipping, now at 12-7. They had hoped Wednesday night would be the start of a multi-step process toward improving their home identity. ... Maybe it was predictable. You had to figure the Lakers weren't going to get swept in San Antonio and Dallas. After getting pounded by the Spurs, the Lakers had an edge to them. It's something the Mavericks are still looking for at AAC."
- Kevin Ding of The Orange County Register: "Kobe Bryant was there for his team again Wednesday night, and the result for the Lakers wound up even more inspiring than if Bryant had reached into his back, ripped out his annoying spine and tossed it aside like a sweaty towel before going for 50. Bryant went for 10, and his teammates went for 90. 'Great win,' Bryant said. 'I love the win even more because it gives our bench new life. It gives them confidence; they've been struggling for awhile.' ... Lamar Odom said they were talking Wednesday afternoon about how without Pau Gasol and with a creaky Bryant, 'We were just going to go. No letting the game come to us.' The previous night, Bryant had tried to get that across to Artest while they rode the team bus away from the arena in San Antonio. When I later told Bryant what Odom had said and wondered if Bryant's sore back had actually helped Odom and Artest register what they can do, Bryant replied with surprising animation at the end of such a long day. Said Bryant: 'I thought, 'It's about (expletive) time. It's about time. What the (heck) you guys waiting for? Don't sit around and wait for me to bail your (butts) out all the time. Get going -- because it makes us a better team. Don't worry about me. You've got to be aggressive.' ' Just as those fans who admire Bryant still don't fully get him, the teammates who admire him need to understand, too. He pushes his limits for his own reasons. But he does think it should trigger more than a fleeting thought in your head: You are quite capable of more, too."
- John DeShazier of The Times-Picayune: "Wire to wire it was a wonderful Wednesday for the New Orleans Hornets, with majority owner George Shinn having successful surgery in the morning to remove his prostate after being diagnosed with cancer in November, and his team disposing of the Los Angeles Clippers at night. One event obviously dwarfed the other in importance. From all indications, Shinn, whose prostate cancer was diagnosed early, is set for a complete recovery after his operation at Johns Hopkins Institute in Baltimore. But knowing the way Shinn feels about his team, don't doubt that the best thing the Hornets could've done for him Wednesday night is exactly what they did -- beat the Clippers 108-94 at the New Orleans Arena, giving them a 3-0 lead in the four-game season series. 'I know that's what he'd want us to do,' Chris Paul said."
- Brian Windhorst of The Plan Dealer: "The conspiracy theorists were right, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade did end up together. Only, it was by chance outside a store in San Francisco. Both the Cavs and Miami Heat were in town Tuesday night, the Cavs idling with two days off before their next game and the Heat in town early to face the Warriors Wednesday night. Out separately with teammates, James and Wade ran into each other and spent some time together talking. If anyone had a camera phone, it might have led to headlines and stories about their plans for next summer when both are expected to become free agents. 'We just saw each other around, shopping and things of that nature,' Wade told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. 'If someone took a picture, they might come out with a story, but there's nothing to it.' "
- Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald: "A rumor regarding Tracy McGrady received far more airplay than it deserved Tuesday. McGrady is on leave from the Houston Rockets and working out in Chicago with trainer Tim Grover, hoping for a trade. The Bulls have some interest, but only if they can increase their cap space for next summer. McGrady has an expiring contract worth $23 million. Any Houston trade would most likely wait until the Feb. 18 trade deadline with all NBA teams exploring their options in the meantime. There is no chance the Bulls would give up Joakim Noah in such a deal. A more likely package would be John Salmons, Brad Miller and Jerome James for McGrady and some filler."
- Dave D'Alessandro of The Star-Ledger: "This may not mean much, especially since it happened when his team had already embarrassed itself inside of five minutes in its own gym, turning the rest of the game into a why-did-we-show-up-again proposition for players and fans alike. But Devin Harris, who is supposed to be far too mild-mannered to have his point-of-the-lance moment, lost his temper Wednesday night. He didn’t show it publicly -- the Nets didn’t show much of anything, other than their timid side in their 111-87 rollover against the Boston Celtics, actually -- but he was just cranky enough at halftime to get his teammates’ attention. Again, it may not mean a thing. But this team is 3-35, and very little gets their attention nowadays, so they brought it up for a reason. 'Devin was pretty upset,' Chris Douglas-Roberts said. 'It wasn’t a speech. It was just letting off some frustration, that’s pretty much it. But it was good to see. That’s the first time I’ve seen him let off some frustration like that. It was good. I’d rather see that.' Of course, when you’re trailing 71-35 at halftime, exasperation should come naturally."
- Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News: "This was going to happen, in some form, at some time. Almost every NBA team rebuilds, eventually. But, uh, did it really have to be this bad for the Pistons? Maybe not. But now that they're heading down this path, 12-25 after ending a 13-game losing streak, it doesn't matter anymore how bad they are, as long as they have a plan to get better. Can Joe Dumars fix it? I think he can, but his next couple of moves will determine if this is a brief plummet, or something uglier. And man, he doesn't have many easy options. For now, Dumars should complete the dismantling and try to trade championship holdovers Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton, although with their injuries and contracts, neither is overly marketable. The Pistons' eight-year playoff streak -- including six trips to the Eastern Conference finals -- is all but over, and there's no sense patching or reminiscing."
- Jonathan Abrams of The New York Times: "In a position full of giants, the Houston Rockets’ Chuck Hayes stands out because he stands below them. In the 63 years of the N.B.A., few teams have had a regular starting center as short as the 6-foot-6 Hayes, and certainly none in recent decades. Hayes is a full foot shorter than Yao Ming, the injured All-Star for whom he is filling in. Dikembe Mutombo, who backed up Yao last season before retiring, is 7-2. According to N.B.A. rosters, 269 of the league’s 436 players were taller than Hayes at the start of this season. That included 45 players, many of them Hayes’s center counterparts, who are at least 7 feet tall. Somehow and quite skillfully, Hayes, who has started each of the Rockets’ 38 games this season, performs his duties despite the inherent disadvantages before tip-off. ... Hayes folds nicely into the Rockets’ organizational mind-set. General Manager Daryl Morey helped introduce the N.B.A. to quantitative analytics and statistical breakdowns that go beyond the box score. It is an organization that sometimes plays the game Tag, with the player who is 'it' using defensive slides as a means to keep moving. 'He kind of typifies the way we are,' Rockets Coach Rick Adelman said of Hayes. 'He’s not big, but he’s very quick, very strong around the basket. He’s one of the best defenders, even though he doesn’t have the size to block shots.' "
- Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News: "The Spurs spent Tuesday night at The Skirvin Hilton, an Oklahoma City hotel rumored to be haunted. Earlier in the week, several members of the Knicks blamed their loss to the Thunder on bumps in the night at the spooky inn. Spurs guard George Hill didn't know what to make of his sleepover at the Skirvin. 'I stayed up all night listening for strange noises,' he said. Manu Ginobili, unsurprisingly, was unfazed by the ghost stories. After all, he's already taken on a bat this season. 'No problems at all,' Ginobili said. 'I slept like a baby.' On the whole, the Spurs didn't seem too spooked by the experience. They planned to stay Wednesday night there, too, instead of heading on to Charlotte."
- Bob Finnan of The Morning Journal: "Demand for Cavaliers' season tickets are perhaps at an all-time high. The Cavs are filling Quicken Loans Arena to capacity at a record pace. Season-ticket holders, however, are facing a bit of a dilemma. The Cavs are asking for their first installment on 2010-11 season tickets by March 26. There's only one hitch: Fans won't know what LeBron James plans to do in free agency until later in the summer. James can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. All indications are that he'll opt out of his deal and test the free-agent waters. Many think (hope?) he'll re-sign with the Cavs. But some season-ticket holders will have already dropped thousands of hard-earned dollars before they know what James will do. 'Who knows what's going to happen?' season-ticket holder Jim Carrabine of Mentor said. 'No one has the answer. If his main objective is to go with the team he thinks has the best chance to win, I don't see him going to New York or New Jersey. I don't think anyone can pay him any more than us. I see more probability than not of him staying here. Anything can happen. It might (hinge) on how close we come this year.' "
- Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun: "Raptors rookie guard DeMar DeRozan's chances of making it into the Slam Dunk contest during NBA all-star weekend got a boost last night. The league has announced that in addition to the three automatic entries into the contest who will be unveiled next Monday, an NBA all-star Slam Dunk-In competition will be held to determine the fourth and final participant in the actual dunk contest. The participants for the Dunk-In will be announced on television tonight before the broadcast of the Chicago Bulls-Boston Celtics game. The two players chosen to participate will get two dunks at half time of the Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam event on the Friday of all-star weekend. Fans will determine the winner by voting via text message or at NBA.com with the winner advancing to the actual dunk contest the following night. An online petition to get DeRozan into the competition (letdemardunk.com) has a goal of 10,000 signatures. So far the total is at 1,630."

Worst of the Weekend: Pouty Lips edition
[NBA Basketball] (Basketbawful)The Philadelphia 76ers: Despite an efficient game from Allen Iverson -- he scored 22 points on 7-for-13 from the field and 7-for-7 from the line -- Philly gave up a three-point play to Chris Bosh with 8.4 seconds left and lost 108-106 to the Craptors. Technically speaking, the Sixers got a final possession, but it was a mad, aimless scramble that ended in a wild misfire from 28 feet out by Lou Williams. Yeeeeeah. I'm sure that's not the play Eddie Jordan drew up in the team huddle. Wellpretty su ...
The Philadelphia 76ers: Despite an efficient game from Allen Iverson -- he scored 22 points on 7-for-13 from the field and 7-for-7 from the line -- Philly gave up a three-point play to Chris Bosh with 8.4 seconds left and lost 108-106 to the Craptors. Technically speaking, the Sixers got a final possession, but it was a mad, aimless scramble that ended in a wild misfire from 28 feet out by Lou Williams. Yeeeeeah. I'm sure that's not the play Eddie Jordan drew up in the team huddle. Well...pretty sure.
Mind you, the Sixers led by 11 at halftime. But giving up a double-digit has been Philly's thing lately And by "lately" I mean "this season." From the AP recap:
The Sixers have led by 10-plus points in each of their last three losses and are 7-8 this season when they hold a double-digit lead at any point.
Philadelphia team president Ed Stefanski, quote machine: With the Sixers sucking so badly all season, everybody has been wondering when Eddie Jordan is going to get canned. Not if, but when. Jordan's chances of finishing out the season didn't improve any when Stefanski refused to endorse his coach before Philly lost at home to the Craptors. However, Stefanski isn't holding Jordan solely responsible for his team's craptasticness. Said Ed: "It's not just the head coach. It's the coaches, the players and myself. No one is happy here."
The 76ers wasted an 18-point lead in a loss to Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards on Tuesday. They watched an 11-point halftime lead evaporate against the Raptors in the third quarter.
"We're jumping out and holding leads and we just can't hold them," guard Allen Iverson said. "We play well for a while and then it seems we just lose focus."
I can't blame them. I wouldn't be happy in Philadelphia either. Especially after what happened to the Eagles in Dallas...
The Orlando Magic: After Orlando's 104-97 loss to the Agent Zero-less WashingtonWizardsGeneralsBullets, the nation's leading funk scientists have legally declared the Magic as being "in a deep, deep funk." Orlando has now dropped four in a row for the first time since February of 2007. Oh, and all four losses have come to sub-.500 teams. Gak.
Blame shooting woes. (No, I'm not talking about Gilbert Arenas. As far as you know.) The Magic missed 20 of their 27 three-point attempts and shanked 12 free throws. Said Stan Van Gundy: "It gets worse. It's terrible. We didn't have one guy on the floor that could make a shot."
To make matters even, uh, worser, Orlando didn't just lose the game. They lost Vince Carter for at least a few games with a "mild" shoulder separation. But while I usually don't revel in player injuries, I make an exception when they lead to quotes like this...
Vince Carter, unintentionally hilarious quote machine: Regarding the play in which he got hurt: "I just remember going down, and I was laying there and I looked back, and I just see everybody running by me. I'm like, this is crazy. Don't run me over."
For some reason, that quote just killed me.
The New Jersey Nyets: The tragic comedy that is the 2009-10 New Jersey Nyets continues. Despite holding a one-point lead going into the final 10 seconds of their game against the Hornets in New Orleans, the Nyets gave up a three-point play to Chris Paul and then blew their final chance to score when Yi Jianliangot totally jobbed by the refsran over Devin Brown like a mack truck that runs on rice and fail.
Make it 3-33.
Said New Jersey coach/captive Kiki Vandeweghe: "It's always disappointing when players don't finish the game. We're all disappointed, but [New Orleans] is a very good team. They played hard and they've won a lot at the end. We have nothing to be ashamed of."
Nothing to be ashamed of? Uh, Kiki, 3-33 teams have loads to be ashamed of...
Chris Paul, out-of-context quote machine: "I'm bowlegged, but I don't think I'm that bowlegged."
Drew Brees' hair: The Saints' star quarterback was on hand to see the Nyets fail...and his hair looked fucking awful. What, did he wear his helmet to the game or something?
I'm going to put on my Mark Jackson hat and say: "Drew Brees, you're better than that." I bet this is why Peyton Manning beat Drew out for NFL MVP.
The Indiana Pacers: Despite the return of Danny Granger (19 points, 7-for-19 from the field, 3-for-10 from downtown), the Pacers were put down by none other than the Minnesota Timberpoops. You know, the second-worst team in the league.
Now, I'm not going to cry "home cooking!" or anything, but Minny had a mind-blathering 45-17 advantage in free throw attempts. And it's not like the Timberpoops usually form a conga line to the charity stripe or anything. They rank 22nd in the league (23.5 FTAs per game).
Ah...what am I saying. We all know how awesome NBA officials are.
The Chicago Bulls' free throw shooting: Do the Bullies have trouble putting the bisket in the basket? Well, let's see. They rank 28th out of 30 in scoring (92.3 PPG) and are next to dead last in Offensive Efficiency...the latter of which means the only team less efficient at scoring is currently 3-33 and on pace to be the worst team in NBA history. Furthermore, they currently rank 28th in Field Goal Percentage (43.1) and 29th in both Effective Field Goal Percentage (45.3) and True Shooting Percentage (49.7).
So yeah, scoring is an issue. Which is why knocking down their foul shots is so important. They're free points! But the Bulls apparently don't want charity, since they bricked 10 free throws -- including four in the fourth quarter -- before losing by three points. Of course, I could also blame the fact that Chicago went almost eight minutes during the fourth quarter without hitting a field goal...but that sort of thing is kind of expected with them (see above).
The San Antonio Spurs: They lost at home to the Dallas Mavericks, who rode Erick Dampier's hot hand straight to victory. No, really. Dampier -- who returned after missing two games with a knee injury -- was perfect from the field (6-for-6), the free throw line (1-for-1) and even from beyond the arc (1-for-1)! That's right. Dampier nailed his second career trey.
Clearly something supernatural was going on...and how were the Spurs supposed to fight against supernature? Gregg Popovich was so freaked out he got himself ejected. He obviously wanted to be as far away from the location Dampier hit that three for fear the ground might open up so some hellbeast consummate Erick's deal with Satan.
The Phoenix Suns: Hmmm...they couldn't control the boards down the stretch and gave up 23 points off 17 turnovers. It's Phoenix Suns basketball folks! In related news, they suffered a 109-105 home loss to the Miami Heat.
Steve Nash, turnover machine: As AnacondaHL correctly pointed out, Captain Canada has now committed at least 5 turnover in five straight games (5, 6, 7, 6 and 6). Nash is currently second (to Monta Ellis) in TOs per game (3.9). What I want to know is: what's Monta's excuse? He doesn't pass the ball.
The Los Angeles Lakers: The Fakers lost their ninth straight game in Portland as Brandon Roy (32 points, 9-for-11, 13-for-14 from the line) gave a lesson in offensive efficiency to Kobe Bryant (32 points, 14-for-37, 2-for-4 on foul shots). Sure, L.A. was missing Pau Gasol, but they aren't going to get any sympathy from the Frail Blazers, who were without Greg Oden, Joel Przybilla, Nicolas Batum, Travis Outlaw, Rudy Fernandez and even Steve Blake (who was recently hospitalized with pneumonia). I mean, freaking Juwan Howard had to play 35 minutes at center!
They sure d...wait, what?!
The Clevland Cavaliers: It's like the other Crabs are trying to force LeBron out of Cleveland by the sheer power of suck. And while King Crab's game-high 8 turnovers were pretty crippling, he might not be trying to do everything himself if his two "All-Star" teammates -- that's right, Shaq and Mo, I'm looking at you -- would pitch in a little help now and again. Or, for that matter, if "Coach of the Year" Mike Brown could draw up a single offensive play.
Did I mention the Nuggets beat the Crabs without 'Melo? Well, they did.
Overall, Cleveland bricked 11 freebies and gave up 23 points off 19 turnovers. Said LeBron: "We gave ourselves an opportunity to win, but one thing we can't do is turn the ball over a lot like we did, including myself. Me, personally having eight turnovers, probably five or six of them unforced. We can't do that on the road." He then made Jawad Williams spontaneously combust using the power of his mind.
Shaq: Just thought I'd throw a little spotlight on The Big Hacky, who finished with 10 points (4-for-5) and 5 rebounds but almost fouled out in 16 minutes. Did I mention that leading geologists have categorized him as "glacier"?
Kings-Warriors: From Chris:
You know, when you are leading against a completely defense-less team (especially the prototypical 'on Nelson efense that you find in East Oakland) by a full eighteen points in the third quarter, that's a recipe for a routine victory, right?
Friday lacktivity report: Chris washed the bitter pill of the Sactowner fail with a refreshing glass of lacktion:
Wrong.
Getting outscored 62-40 in the second half isn't a recipe for successful ball, and a dominant performance early on was (once again) wasted by the purple paupers, resulting in a feel-good loss. (Too bad feel-good losses aren't positives on the standings sheet!)
Magic-Bullets: Nick Young blasted three bricks for a +3 suck differential in 13:54, while fellow projectile Fabricio Oberto negated an assist by chambering two fouls for a 2:1 Voskuhl in 2:39 - the fabulous one's second Voskuhl in two games!
Jazz-Grizzlies: Hasheem Thabeet blocked two shots and had a board for Memphis in 4:52, only to foul four times for a 4:1 Voskuhl.
Celtics-Hawks: Brian Scalabrine scratched off a winning ticket worth 4.7 trillion (4:41), while JR Giddens got a clean bill of health from Dr. Mario after a 17 second checkup! Meanwhile, Zaza Pachulia garnered an assist and board in 9:05, only to take a rejection, three pieces of masonry, and four fouls for a 4:1 Voskuhl.
Mavs-Spurs: DeJuan Blair made one shot in 7:31 as starting big man and also earned himself one board, only to foul thricely and lose the rock once for a 4:3 Voskuhl. Teammate Theo Ratliff signed off on yet another expiring contract, worth 3.6 trillion (3:37)!!!
Bulls-Bucks: Kurt Thomas bricked twice, took a rejection, and fouled twice for a +5 in 5:52 that doubled as a 2:0 Voskuhl.
Lakers-Blazers: As the Frail Blazers continue to exact their revenge for a certain 2000 playoff game, lacktion was fast and furious on both sides of the hardwood at the Rose Garden. Phil Jackson had DJ Mbenga scratch out four fouls in 6:04 for a +4 and a 4:0 Voskuhl, while Sasha Vujacic fouled once and bricked twice (once from the PacWest Center) for a +3 in 3:20 - his second straight game of suck. Nate McMillan had Jeff Pendergraph celebrate yet another notch in the win column by taking one foul in 5:17 for a +1.
Kings-Warriors: Chris Hunter sniped out a foul, rejection, and two bricks for a +4 in 4:18 for Team Nellieball, as well as a 1:0 Voskuhl.
Crabs-Nuggets: Daniel "Boobie" Gibson pinched out one piece of masonry from Civic Park for a +1 in 1:50.
Frank Martin: A college coach slapped a player during a game and then tried to pass it off as a high five? Oh yes. And dig this crazy apology: "That's a mistake on my part," Martin said. "I'm an old-school guy, but I understand the times are real sensitive now. I love him. I don't know what to tell you. It's wrong on my part and is completely out of line and has no part in the game. I need to apologize for that." I'm an old-school guy, but I understand the times are real sensitive now...I bet Martin has a diploma from the Bob Knight Coaching College hanging in his office.
The Atlanta Hawks: I guess back-to-back wins over the Nyets and the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics didn't qualify as "being back" for the Dirty Birds, who got their beaks handed to them by the Magic in Orlando.
If you're actually reading your way through this weekend's recap, you may remember that the Magicians had lost four straight games to sub-.500 teams, but they had the Hawks down by 29 at halftime and then cruised in for a 32-point victory.
Did I mention Orlando was without Vince Carter?
It didn't matter. J.J. Redick started in Vinsanity's absence and scored 17 points on 7-for-12 shooting. Meanwhile, Atlanta couldn't find the range from the field (39 percent), from beyond the arc (4-for-17) or from the line (15-for-25). They also gave up a whopping 25 points off only 16 turnovers. Maybe if they had spent more time taking care of the ball instead of bitching at the refs...
The Detroit Pistons: So, uh, remember when Joe Dumas sent Chauncey Billups and Tony McDyess to Denver for Allen Iverson? And the thinking was how he had this big plan for saving money via Iverson's expiring contract, and how he was going to use that extra cash to rebuilt his team on the quick? Then he spent all his money on Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva, which is kind of like winning the lottery and then spending every cent on swampland in Florida.
And now here we are: a mostly healthy Pistons squad lost at home to Philly after scoring only 10 first-quarter points and letting Sixers shoot 57 percent for the game. Said Detroit coach John Kuester: "I thought we were passive at times."
Ya think?! On the bright side, Ben Gordon scored the one millionth point in NBA history. Ironically, it was on his one millionth shot.
The Pistons have now lost 12 straight games for the first time since April of 1994...which, not coincidentally, was Isiah Thomas' retirement campaign.
It was a totally preventable loss against a lousy team. And Villanueva knows it: "It's very discouraging that we had no sense of urgency -- none -- in the first half. We were down 26 to the Philadelphia 76ers, not to take anything away from them. We played with some fight in the second half, but it was too late."
Btw, Allen Iverson didn't play after coming down with a case of Pistons-itis.
Grizzlies-Bobcats: From AnadondaHL:
Need big mentions of this Grizz-Cats game in Worst of the Weekend. Memphis wasted a 31-17 2nd quarter run to be down by 3 with a minute left. Z-Bo misses both freebies, Mayo steals it from Felton, Mayo blows the layup, but Felton misses both freebies. Mayo hits the three to tie it.
Gerald Wallace, unintentionally dirty quote machine: "I was like, 'Man, did I get it off?' Then I looked at the replay on the JumboTron and I was like, 'Man, that wasn't even close.'" I...didn't know they showed that kind of stuff on the JumboTron!
With time running out, Felton misses the layup, only Gerald "Don't Test Me for Rebound Enhancing Drugs" Wallace follows with the putback and time officially runs out, Charlotte win.
The Minnesota Timberwolves: About 20 paragraphs ago, I provided several stats that illustrate how much the Bulls struggle to put up points...and then they score a season-high 110 points in a blowout of the Timberpoops. Coincidence?
The Dallas Mavericks: Beware the dreaded back-to-backs! After beating the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday night, the Mavericks got blown out at home by the Utah Jekyll-and-Hydes on Saturday night. Mind you, Utah also played on Friday, losing to the Grizzlies in Memphis. But Deron Williams (20 points, 9 assists) came back against the Mavs, which I guess made the difference, because the Jazz shot 53 percent for the game. Of course, it probably helped Utah that Josh Howard and Drew Gooden sat this one out.
The New York Knicks: After starting out red-hot (63 percent shooting in the first quarter and 56 percent for the half), the Knicks went ice-cold in the fourth quarter (17 points). The Rockets, on the other hand, did the opposite, hitting 41 percent (18 of 44) in the first 24 minutes before shooting 58.5 percent (24 of 41) in the second half...and winning 105-96.
And I think Mike D'Antoni is a little bitter: "We should've won this game. They started scoring every time in the second half and we didn't shut them down. Our defense wasn't as good as it should've been."
You know, D'Antoni blaming his team's defense for a loss is like somebody neglecting to potty train their dog and then bitching when the pooch keeps shitting in the house. I'm just sayin'.
Nuggets-Kings: From Chris: "I could talk about Tyreke the Freak burning up Kenyon Martin - especially on the game-winning possession with .9 seconds left. I could talk about the comeback from a 13 point deficit at the half, and the sheer relief of seeing the paupers finally rewarded for consistently tough play. But instead, I think this video of JR Smith bawful (courtesy of AnacondaHL and Kcan) sums up Sacramento's second straight victory over the Nuggets..."
Saturday lacktivity report: Chris took a brief rest from rewatching J.R. Smith's greatest boner to report Saturday's lacktion:
Grizzlies-Bobcats: DeMarre Carroll fouled thricely and tossed a brick for a +4 suck differential in 7:06.
Hawks-Magic: Jason Collins took a foul and a missed shot for a +2 n 4:27 that doubled as a 1:0 Madsen-level Voskuhl.
Wolves-Bulls: With the Timberpoops curing yet another team's slump, Vinnie Smallz sent out Janeero Pargo to Michigan Avenue for one celebratory brick in 3:02 that resulted in a +1.
Jazz-Mavs: Jerry Sloan felt like twirling a Wiimote in Mark Cuban's face as a celebration, so he had Sundiata Gaines and Kyrylo Fesenko tonight as 56 second Mario Brothers (with Sundiata avoiding pure lacktion with a one-shot 100% shooting percentage)!!!
Knicks-Rockets: In the rematch of the Hand Check 1994 Finals, Marcus Landry took one foul for Team D'antoni, resulting in a +1 in 3:33.
The WashingtonWizardsGeneralsBullets: I guess the "star player suspended indefinitely bounce" lasts only one game. Who knew? Man, it must really suck to lose at home after shooting 58 percent from the field. But then again, few teams in this league know more about sucking than the Bullets.
Kwame Brown: Check out his hilarious dis on "Stone Hands" from the AP recap of the Hornets-Bullets game: "[Brendan] Haywood has made 13 consecutive field goals over two games, the longest such streak by a Wizards player since No. 1 overall draft pick flop Kwame Brown in March 2004. When told that stat, Haywood replied: 'I don't want that record. I don't want to be with him.'"
The Toronto Raptors: Remember how Toronto's defense was historically bad, then Jose Calderon got injured and it got better immediately? Well, Jose is back, and you know what that means. The Kevin Garnett-less Celtics scored had their fourth-highest point total of the season (114) behind Rajon Rondo's third regular-season triple-double (22 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists) and 'Sheed's season-high 29 points (9-for-12 from the field, 5-for-6 from downtown). Boston shot better than 50 percent from the field and all five starters had at least 16 points.
However, Jarrett Jack defended his team's lack of defense: "They hit shots as soon as the game started. It's not as though we were just giving them layup after layup and it was like the Globetrotters. They hit from distance with the two 3's." Uh, you do still have to defend long-range shots, Jarrett.
The Boston Celtics: Make no mistake: despite all the scoring, Boston didn't play great basketball. They missed 11 free throws and gave up 26 fast break points. Which means it's probably lucky for them that they were playing the Craptors...
The Miami Heat: In this weekend's BAD comments section, kazam92 said: "My heat are bipolar. When we write them off, they thump the Hawks. When we think they've turned the corner, they blow 19-point leads to the Bobcats and allow someone how cant shoot a jumper to convert an alley-oop with .6 seconds left. I hate loving this team."
As if in response to those very words, the Heat followed up a big win in Phoenix with a tough loss to...the Clippers! And even as The Other L.A. Team pulled to within one game of .500, Miami fell to only one game above .500. The fact that the Heat are even Jekyll-and-Hyde-ier than the Utah Jazz seems to be getting to Dwyane Wade.
Said Pookie: "We've had two teams all year. We've had Miami, and we've got the Heat, and this was Miami today. We came out the wrong way. That team's been playing very well at home, and very well of late, so you can't come out flat. We got behind the 8-ball early and never could recover."
That 8-ball was a 19-point first-half deficit. Again, to the Clippers, who I'm stoked to see are building up expectations. Usually, they just fail all season and it's business as usual. I'm glad to see they're setting their fans up for a bigger fall than normal. They probably learned that from the Chicago Cubs.
By the way, you've gotta love the mass fail by D-Wade's supporting cast. Quinton Richardson went 1-for-7. Jermaine "The Drain" O'Neal was 0-for-4 and had only 2 boards in 20 minutes. Newly signed Rafer Alston scored only 4 points on 2-for-6 shooting. Etc.
The New Jersey Nyets: The tragic comedy that is the 2009-10 New Jersey Nyets continues. The highlight of this latest loss was the fact that New Jersey's bench got outscored 59-14 by San Antonio's reserve corps. Of course, some of that had to do with the fact that Kiki Vandeweghe was riding his starters like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Said Kiki: "We did play the starters a lot of minutes. So the bench, except for Jarvis [Hayes], didn't get a lot of minutes. That's a little bit by design, and perhaps we could have gotten a little tired in the third quarter and we may have substituted a little too early."
Make it 3-34.
Said Chris Douglas-Roberts: "It's very frustrating."
Quick reality check for the Spurs: They are 19-2 against teams below .500...and 3-11 against good teams.
The Portland Trail Blazers: The Frail Blazers fell way behind the Crabs (17 points) before coming all the way back (tying the game at 87-87 with 6:55 left) only to lose by double-digits anyway (106-94). But it's hard to give them too much crap for the loss. I mean, they had to play Juwan Howard at center for 38 minutes.
Shaq: Remember one sentence ago when I pointed out Juwan Howard's 38 minutes at center for the Blazers? Well, Shaq finished with only 11 points. (Although, to be fair, he took only four shots.)
Despite the fact that he couldn't go "Shaq Cola Classic" on Howard, there was a classic Shaq moment when The Big Kissing Bandit planted a smacker on "actor" Daniel Baldwin:
The Milwaukee Bucks: Forget the fact that they shot 34 percent from the field and got blown out by the Lakers in L.A. The Bucks gave up 48 points to the Lakers' lousy bench. And remember: Lamar Odom is starting because of Pau Gasol's injury. Here's some extra salt for the wound...the Laker bench outscored Milwaukee's starters by 24 points. Seriously.
Kobe Bryant: Outscored by both Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown? Say it ain't so, Kobe! And, after his 4-for-21 shooting performance against the Bucks, Mamba is 37-for-111 from the field (33 percent) over his last four games. Well, one thing his broken finger has taught is for absolute certain is that nothing will keep him from shooting. Nothing.
Michael Redd: Injured. Again. From the AP recap:
Milwaukee starting guard Michael Redd left the game because of a sore left knee and didn't return. He was scoreless in nearly 12 minutes. He is scheduled for a MRI on Monday in Phoenix.
I bring this up only because of the many experts who are always trying to speculate about which championship contender might land Redd. It's a great idea in theory, but this guy's body is clearly staging a game of one-downsmanship against Greg Oden's body.
"I felt a pop making a turn. It's not as swollen as it was when I tore my ACL, which is good. But at the same time, it still hurts," he said. "It's very frustrating."
Sunday lacktivity report: Chris provides the final sprinkle of lacktion on this weekend's recap:
Celtics-Raptors: JR Giddens and Brian Scalabrine each made brief trips to GameStop for Doc Rivers, with 24 and 17 second stints respectively as Mario Brothers! (This represents Giddens's second straight purchase of a plastic gray cartridge!)
Hornets-Bullets: Dominic McGuire pointed his NES Zapper at center court and fired off an 8 second Super Mario!!!!
Heat-Clippers: Jermaine "The Drain" O'Neal had a lackluster night as Erik Spoelstra's starting center - in 19:36, he negated two blocks, two made free throws, and two boards with four bricks, three giveaways, and a pair of fouls for a 5:4 Voskuhl! DeAndre Jordan also got into the Voskuhl column tonight, countering a block in 3:18 with a foul for a 1:0 Madsen-level ratio.
Crabs-Blazers: Steve Blake bricked once from the Paramount Theatre for a +1 in 7:21.
Bucks-Lakers: Michael Redd becomes one of THE more notable names in the lacktion ledger this year, accruing a whole load of negative stats as a starter as his Bucks faded in the bright headlights of Figueroa Street: four bricks, one giveaway, two rejections and a foul for an Association-leading +8 in 11:38!!!!!! Redd is the fourth lacktator this season to achieve this ignominous total, along with Chase Budinger, Charlie Bell, and Terrence Williams. -

WILDER: When I could read that all men were created equal and that they were endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and among these were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I knew it meant me!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: Twelve newsmakers, analysts and reporters were out on the Sunday morning talk shows, but only one gets "The Last Word," and that honor goes to the man you just heard speaking right there 20 years ago, L. Douglas Wilder, the former governor of Virginia. Governor Wilder, thanks for joining us. It's great to see you.
WILDER: Thank you so much for having me.
KING: You made history on that day 20 years ago. You were the first African-American elected governor. We are about to hit the one- year point of our first elected African-American president. I want to spend some time on that, but I want to begin with the big story in the news today, and that is the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, is quoted in a new book about the 2008 presidential campaign saying what he acknowledges were some insensitive, racially insensitive remarks about then-candidate Barack Obama. And here is what Harry Reid is quoted as saying in the book. "He was wowed by Obama's oratorical skills and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama, a, quote, "light skinned" African-American, with quote, "no Negro dialect unless he wanted one," as he said privately." Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination."
Let me ask you this question. If in covering your campaign 20 years ago, which I did when you ran for governor, if I had leaned across the table like this and said, you know, Governor, because of your lighter skin, or a non-Negro dialect, you have a better chance, what would your reaction have been?
WILDER: I would have thought you were from another planet, because I would have thought you were not aware of America's people, that you were not aware of real Virginians, that you were not aware of the fair-mindedness of most Americans.
And I think the Reid comment, unfortunately, as he's described it, and the apology should be to the totality of the American people, because we are not where he thought we may have been a year ago. We crossed that threshold as you pointed, 20 years ago, when we said we don't care what the color of this guy's skin is or -- what is my dialect, for instance? It certainly wouldn't be described as...
KING: I would call it Southern gentleman.
WILDER: Wouldn't be Bostonian, or English (ph) for that matter. And so, I think the unfortunate thing, John, is that one snippet or that recent adventure by Harry Reid illustrates the need for more open discussion about race and put it where it belongs, into the closet.
Obama wasn't elected because he was or was not of any color. He represented a change. He was representing a fastening of the dreams and the aspirations of the American people to someone who could bring about change. I would have liked to have thought that that is what I was trying to do in Virginia. Saddened, though, to see that 20 years later, there still is that degree of apprehension on the behalf of some people who are in leadership positions.
KING: There are some, and to be clear, there are Republican critics who maybe see something to be gained here, but the African- American chairman of the Republican National Committee, for example, said today that he believes Senator Reid should step down from that leadership position. What do you think?
WILDER: I don't think that. I think that what Reid was giving was a personal opinion, which wasn't affecting the laws or the operation of the dispensation of justice in our country. As you would compare that to what Trent Lott said. Trent Lott was saying, in effect, well, it's unfortunate that what Strom Thurmond was dreaming and wanting to do wasn't fulfilled because it would have eliminated some of these problems. Well, he was in a position to change or not change some of the laws that he saw as the big problem.
Reid's was unfortunate. He's got enough problems on his own, trying to get reelected in Nevada.
KING: You mention we should be more transparent, have a more open discussion about race. I want to run some polling numbers by you...
WILDER: Yes.
KING: We're about to hit the one-year mark of the Obama presidency...
WILDER: Yes.
KING: ... and the question is, has it had an effect on race relations in the country? If you ask the American people, is this a new era, have you seen some improvement in race relations? 69 percent of blacks say yes, 50 percent of whites say that. No change or it's made things worse -- 30 percent of African-Americans say no change or worse. Nearly half, 49 percent of white Americans, say no change or it's made things worse. Does that surprise you?
WILDER: Not really. I think Barack Obama had possibly the best team you could have assembled to get him elected. The real question that is being asked in the numbers of persons around the country as I travel and talk, is that team assembled to govern? To be there to address the real problems of inner-city people? He made an excellent speech at the national conference of mayors, U.S. conference of mayors, in which he made several commitments. And I think he is going to fulfill them, he wants to fulfill them. But a lot of people, as you know, bottom line, are saying, what difference has it made in my life? OK, so you bail the banks out, you've bailed the financial institutions out. How has that helped me? The mortgage industry has been left in one position, housing industry another position. How has it helped me? And so those poll numbers don't surprise me at all.
KING: In fact, after the midterm elections in which a Republican won the governor of your state after successive Democratic victories and Virginia was turning more blue, as you might say if you accept the red-blue analogy, you said it's a wake-up call for Democrats across the country, that the Republican won, and you say independents see -- and these are the words in the news article, you tell me if they're your words -- "careless spending or overspending by the Obama administration." Is that fair?
WILDER: I think it's a fair statement, because people are looking to see, well, OK, all of the stimulus money -- and you might be calling it for a new stimulus. Gets back to the bottom line question in these polls. How has that helped me? And John Doe is asking that question.
I think the majority of the people in this country forget Republican or Democrat. They're interested in fiscal responsibility, accountability and productivity. Do they want reform? Yes. But they want meaningful reform.
KING: Has the administration passed that test yet at the one- year mark?
WILDER: I think it's too early to even give a grade. Even though I ask my students in class to give a grade, I don't. Because I think the Obama administration inherited a tremendous amount of problems, not just one, and every day things change. I think -- I know from being governor, it takes a year or two to get your sea legs, to get your feet under you. I had some degree of executive experience. Obama's had none at all. So, when you consider that he's only been in office a year, has he got the strength developing what that office portends and what happen, I think he's on his way of doing it. That may not have been the opportunity presented for him in the first year.
KING: Let me ask you in closing, as an African-American political leader, as a role model to all children, white, black and anything else across this country, with the success you have had and as someone who picked a few fights with the gun lobby when you were governor...
WILDER: Oh, yes.
KING: ... in the policy fight. Gilbert Arenas is a member of the Washington Wizards. I'm a fan, I'm going to the game when I'm done with the program today. He has been suspended indefinitely for bringing guns into the locker room and having this incident. What is the message, what does a leader and a role model like Doug Wilder see when he looks at this situation?
WILDER: Well, I'll tell you what it is to me, John. I hear it from people across the streets and through the city and the state. They are upset. They are very upset with a guy who's come as far as he has come, to be as well off as he is financially, to have to resort to this. It's a great disappointment to many of them. You'd be surprised at the number of them who say we are not unhappy that he's suspended.
And so I think it's a question of setting the right example not just for the kids to live by, but setting it by how you live your life so they can call you a true role model.
KING: Governor Doug Wilder, it's good to see you, and I'm going to say as we close, 20 years ago when you were elected, I covered that campaign...
WILDER: You did.
KING: ... I was 10 and you were 20, I think...
(CROSSTALK)
WILDER: No, I think it's a little different. Incidentally, I'm having my birthday next Sunday and I'll be 79 years old, and I'm going to be doing a little book on all of those travails (ph) in that 20- year period of time and how I think America has moved up in that period.
KING: I look forward to reading it, and you have aged far more gracefully than the anchor of this program. It's good to see you.

Transcript – DONNA BRAZILE
KING: We've established the disagreement here. Let me bring the conversation back home and see how we do, see whether we can have any peace at the table in that regard. I'm going to hold up this new book, "Game Change." It's by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two very accomplished political journalists.
And one of the controversies being generated by this new book is the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid was questioned about then- candidate Barack Obama during the 2008 campaigns. And this is what the book reports. "Reid was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama, 'a light-skinned' African- American 'with no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one,' as he said privately."
Donna Brazile, you are among the African-American leaders in the Democratic Party that Senator Reid has called over the weekend to say, I'm sorry, this was a mistake, poorly chosen words. Take us inside the conversation.
BRAZILE: Well, first of all, I think Senator Reid has expressed enormous remorse for his statements. He has not only apologized to President Obama, but to a number of civil rights leaders. He has made phone calls. You know, Harry Reid is a...
KING: He's a national leader of your party...
BRAZILE: He's a national leader...
KING: ... a veteran senator from Nevada, a national leader of your party, can you believe that in this day and age he would say something like that?
BRAZILE: Look, I am profoundly disappointed in his choice of words. I'm disappointed whether I hear it from Glenn Beck, from Harry Reid, anyone else, let's be clear about that, John. But I also know that Harry Reid is a man of integrity, someone who has been a champion of civil rights, hate crimes, voting rights, and he's someone who has earned the respect of many in the civil rights community.
That's why I believe, as President Obama said yesterday, for someone who has been a leader on social justice issues,we accept his apology.
KING: Well, the African-American chairman of the Republican National Committee this morning said he thinks that Harry Reid should resign. He says, otherwise Republicans will retire him. He is on the ballot, of course, in 2010.
And Michael Steele also said he believes there's a double standard. That Democrats can just say, I'm sorry, where in his view if Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, or let's, for the sake of argument at this table, say Richard B. Cheney, the former vice president of the United States, Michael Steele's argument is if a white Republican said this, there would be hell to pay.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
STEELE: Oh, yes, there's a big double standard here, and the thing about it that's interesting is that when Democrats get caught saying racist things, you know, an apology is enough. If that had been Mitch McConnell saying that about an African-American candidate for president of the United States, trust me, this chairman and the DNC would be screaming for his head very much as they were with Trent Lott.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: Do you believe that's the case?
CHENEY: Absolutely. I think there's a clear double standard. I think there's no question but that, you know, liberals rush to excuse racism from other liberals. And I think that's clearly what this is. I think Donna and I can agree very clearly that these are the kind of remarks that don't have any place in 2010 in the American political debate. And I think what Harry Reid has done is give the people of Nevada yet one more reason to vote him out of office this year.
BRAZILE: But I would hope that the people of Nevada, and I'm going to Nevada because I like Harry Reid, I support Harry Reid, he's my kind of man, he fights, and he is a tough fighter. And he is somebody who has put together a very important caucus with diverse voices, diverse people, but he's someone that when you want a fighter for civil rights, for equal rights, for equal opportunity, you go to Harry Reid because he will fight. He will stay on your side.
It's unfortunate he made these remarks given his history. His history is a champion for people of color. But I take him at his word that he's deeply sorry and offended by his own remarks and I will support Harry Reid.

A Ghostly Quest In The Old West
[Oddities] (Our Strange World)An Arizona group documents purported paranormal occurrences. Phoenix, Arizona - The temperature dropped in the boiler room of the Gadsden Hotel in Douglas. Heel-toe, heel-toe, heel-toe. Footsteps echoed in the hollow concrete basement. They sounded like boots, but the only people there were two investigators from West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society.

An Arizona group documents purported paranormal occurrences.
Phoenix, Arizona - The temperature dropped in the boiler room of the Gadsden Hotel in Douglas. Heel-toe, heel-toe, heel-toe. Footsteps echoed in the hollow concrete basement.
They sounded like boots, but the only people there were two investigators from West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society. They were not walking.
“You could hear footsteps coming down the hallway, then it actually walked around us in the boiler room. We caught it on audio,” Andy Rice said. “Just try to wrap your mind around that - there’s no one to see, but there’s footsteps.”
Shaun Jacob was with Rice in the now-frigid basement.
“Just after the footsteps, it felt like something pulled on my shorts,” Jacob said. “There wasn’t anything around me.”
The Gadsden Hotel dates to 1907 and the last days of the Wild West. Many staffers have reported encountering a headless figure in the basement, and they say the ghost of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa appears there.
The hotel is one of 31 paranormal-investigation sites evaluated by the Phoenix-based group since it was formed two years ago.
Although members have had many unexplained experiences during hours of investigations at the hotel, they stopped short of labeling the place haunted.
The group will declare a building haunted only if it can capture video or audio evidence. Unsubstantiated personal experiences don’t count.
At the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone, an ostrich feather dropped from a birdcage and unseen women hummed from the stage. At Big Nose Kate’s Saloon nearby, a grumbly male voice told Jacob to “get out.” Lacking documentation, the group cited “unexplained paranormal activity” in their report.
The group’s investigations have earned coverage by the Associated Press, MSNBC, Yahoo and Fox TV, among others.
Rice formed the non-profit, volunteer group as a result of personal experiences. The goal is to document purported paranormal occurrences.
First, members do historical research of a property. On investigation day, they record weather conditions, seismic data, geothermal and topographical measurements, magnetic activity and such to see if anything in nature caused the occurrence. At the site, they set up a command center linked to infrared cameras, digital voice-recording systems, camcorders and electromagnetic-field detectors.
The group does not charge for investigations, but it accepts donations through its Web site.

West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society
“It’s a great team,” said Marianne Luskey, one of the first members. “We are a family. We are very close. We have a passion for what we do.”
And “very understanding spouses,” added Celeste Plitz.
The group has 16 members. Each week, Rice receives nearly 10 applications from people wanting to join, and requests for investigations are piling up.
“Most of the time when we go in somewhere, we go through their claims and we try to disprove all of them. Ninety percent of the time, we can completely disprove everything,” Rice said.
At the Gilbert Historical Museum, volunteers spoke of hearing footsteps and voices. The group concluded that the building creates sounds as a result of temperature and humidity changes and that acoustical patterns from the wooden floors create an atmosphere for the sounds to be interpreted as voices.
So far, the group has labeled just two buildings as haunted: Monti’s La Casa Vieja in Tempe and the Old Cuchillo Bar in Cuchillo, N.M.
Built in 1871 as Charles Trumbull Hayden’s adobe home, Monti’s is the oldest continuously occupied building in the Valley. It has been in the Monti family for 55 years.
Owner Michael Monti said his staff members have experienced dozens of episodes of unexplained activity.
“This building has been a home, a hotel, a business office. People have been born there, died there, and if there’s any place you would expect to find a ghost, it’s there,” he said.
Indeed, after two nighttime visits, the society determined that 90 percent of the claims could be substantiated. Among the encounters was the apparition of a woman wearing a blue gown.
“Andy and I were in the front part of the restaurant, and we saw what looked to be a lady,” Jacob said.
“She went through the door. She looked as though she had a light on her, some sort of an illumination. The whole restaurant was completely dark. It looked like this person was walking right toward the bar here. In the bar, they caught audio of a lady, and they had a temperature drop right after.”
At the bar, Luskey heard several women chatting in the lobby although she could not see anyone. Luskey also felt chills. The chatter was recorded.
In the Zane Grey room, an audio clip sounds as if the restaurant was serving a meal, with dishes being moved and people talking and eating.
Monti is not troubled by the findings.
“I’m quite happy to be in the possession of a haunted building,” he said. “It adds to the character.” - Srianthi Perera

"This came as a complete surprise to me," the Placerville attorney said shortly after the order was issued by the 3rd District Court of Appeal.
Maines was appointed to represent Garrido in August after she and her husband, Phillip, were arrested in the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard. Maines has been fighting since November to stay on the case.
He was accused of boasting about the case and the possibility of a book deal over afternoon cocktails at his Placerville country club in late October.
Those allegations made their way to El Dorado Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister, who had appointed Maines to the case.
Phimister heard evidence on the claims in closed session and ordered Maines removed because of a conflict of interest. Maines denied the allegations and went to the appellate court, where he won a stay of his ouster.
During the wrangling, however, others apparently came forward with new allegations about Maines talking about the case improperly in September, and Phimister held a closed hearing Dec. 29 to hear those claims.
The new evidence, which was sealed by the court, included five exhibits and testimony from various witnesses, including a police officer, discussing Maines' alleged behavior.
"They generally said I was talking out of school, I was talking about the case," Maines said. "First of all, there's not a gag order.
"And, even assuming I did talk – and I don't admit I did – if there's something wrong with that, it's up to my client to say."
Nancy Garrido has said previously she wanted Maines to stay on the case, and Maines said he will appeal the latest order if she still wants to retain him.
He cannot contact her directly because he is not her attorney. Instead, he must go through Stephen Tapson, a veteran Placerville lawyer appointed as interim counsel while the matter is being decided.
Tapson could not be reached Thursday.
Jaycee Lee Dugard was 11 when she was snatched off a street by her home near South Lake Tahoe in 1991. Dugard, now 29, was found in August living with the Garridos near Antioch. Authorities say she bore two children to Garrido during her long captivity.
Phillip and Nancy Garrido face kidnapping, rape and other charges that could send them to prison for life. Both have pleaded not guilty. Their next court hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21 in Placerville.

Maines said the order came as a "complete surprise" and that he may appeal, but that he first would contact Garrido's interim attorney to ask if she wants him to pursue that course of action.
He had previously been accused of talking over drinks at his Placerville country club about the possibility of writing a book on the case; he has denied the allegations. The newer accusations were presented in court in closed session, and included claims from a Placerville police officer and other law enforcement officials who said they heard him discussing the case improperly in September.
