DBD 12.7.11 CGB Superheroes
by Rishi on Dec 7, 2011 6:54 AM PST
Email
PrintSo it's well-known by now that all members of CGB are superheroes, part of an international, crime-fighting syndicate (or crime-creating, depending on your orientation). Superheroes have a superpower (or several, I guess). Superman is a Super Man. Spiderman has the web thing.
Now, anyone knows that all superheroes have one weakness. For Superman, it's Kryptonite. Green Lantern's is Yellow. Batman's is, well, everything, since he's human. Bad example.
So what is your strength and weakness? (and you only get to pick one)
Mine!
Strength: Unlimited energy
Weakness: Free alcohol
Since I have to fill up words, I may as well guess a few others.
Twist - Strength: Master trolling; Weakness: Easily distracted by mirrors
Kodiak - Strength: Can analyze and break down any football play in a moment; Weakness: Joke is too easy here
Fiatlux - Strength: Instant travel; Weakness: Cal Marketing is responsible for concealing his secret identity
Ohio Bear - Strength: Superhuman memory; Weakness: Ineffective if brought outside Ohio
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

absolutely. it’s a start. at the last home game of the season.
that entire press release was written by amateurs… nothing like really really highlighting how it wasn’t really your idea you just copied it from someone else… and not just any someone else… but an OHIO someone else (OK, that part is irrelevant)… but really, was it necessary to point out three times it was really the Cleveland Indians’ idea? Oh and also way to point out that the Indians did it ALL FRICKIN’ YEAR but we decided to do it just for our last game…
It’s just lame. I don’t really blame the folks doing on this particular press release… they just have no leadership.
The young lady who wrote the press release is very nice.
However, as a recent grad, I don’t think she has a lot of experience just yet. Also, I got the unspoken sense from her that a lot of what she wants to say or do is getting censored or vetoed by higher-ups.
It’s unfortunate.
However, kudos to her for sticking her neck out to suggest some out of the box ideas. I don’t think the old guard who ever have bothered doing anything with social media. That suite just would have been left empty.

I am sure she is perfectly nice. She may also be talented. It’s just not demonstrated here. As I said, I would not blame her, but leadership.

Nah, they have a point. Our hatred for Mack Brown is irrational and illogical. We’re just using him as a scapegoat.
It was all about the computers. We would have been bumped down no matter the margin of victory because of Southern Miss’ strength of schedule and record.
Plus, we can’t say anything at all because we didn’t take care of business against a lousy Texas Tech team.

the point i was referencing was why the Rose Bowl means so much. I thought 81 did a great job on that. a couple said it meant more to them… sigh.
Yes, I was surprised that at least one guy kept insisting that the Rose Bowl was actually a bigger deal for Texas than for Cal, even after I tried to explain:
The Rose Bowl is the White Whale of Cal football. I was born in May 1959. The last time Cal played in the Rose Bowl was January 1959 — five months before I was born. That’s right, I’m 52 years old, and Cal has never played in the Rose Bowl since I have been alive. And as a third generation Cal grad, I have been a Cal fan for my entire life. I have waited my entire life for Cal to make it to the Rose Bowl. Like many Cal fans my age, my prayer is: "Please, God, Just Once Before I Die." And then, after years and years and years of waiting, hoping, dreaming — there it was. I was Ahab at that moment when he hit Moby Dick with his harpoon. CAL WAS GOING TO THE ROSE BOWL! It was there. It was real. It was in our grasp. I had actually bought tickets! And then, it was gone . . . In a lifetime of incredibly painful memories courtesy of Cal athletics, it was the worst, the most horrific, the most depressing. For you, it was just another bowl game. For us, it was like Galahad having the Holy Grail snatched from his very fingertips. It’s like that story told by the Prophet Nathan to King David about the poor man who had a sheep he loved like a child, and the rich man who, instead of slaughtering one of his own hundreds of sheep, stole the poor man’s sheep and slaughtered it for his own table. With all your riches, you can never begin to understand what you did to us. Only Joseph Conrad came close. The Horror. The Horror.

Oh, there is a huge game of “my dick is bigger than yours” occurring between the guys one level above me (who run my division) and one level above them (who run the company), and depending on whose dicks really are bigger, either my great job will get even greater, or my great job, along with everyone else’s in my division, will go BUHBYE.

Rugby gets some new recruits:
BERKELEY – Seventeen freshmen have joined the Golden Bears for 2011-2012 as California seeks to evolve its roster and replace the loss of 15 graduated players following Cal’s second straight undefeated season and national collegiate championship.
“These young men are here for a world-class degree first and foremost,” said head coach Jack Clark. “But they also want an authentic student-athlete experience and the opportunity to develop into the very best rugby player they can become.”
Coach Clark called the connection between the new student-athletes and the program “in many cases generational – young men who have been parented and/or mentored by individuals with deep ties to us.”
These new Rugby Bears will be called upon to help fill the void created by the departure of six All-Americans and more than two thirds of the lineup from Cal’s triumph in the final last May over Brigham Young. The group of 17 players includes 15 Americans – one from Southern California and the rest from Northern California – and two Canadians. The Bay Area and Sacramento area are well represented, and 14 of the 17 entered the pipeline through Cal Rugby Summer Camps. “Our annual summer camp for high-school boys continues to be invaluable in identifying athletic potential and character,” coach Clark said.

Mens swimming doing great:
The University of California men’s swimming program, under the direction of head coach David Durden, represented itself well during the Dec. 1-3 AT&T Winter National Championships hosted at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center in Atlanta. Past, present and future Golden Bears excelled in the long course meters competition that will help them in preparation for Olympic Trials and possibly the 2012 London Olympics.
Former standout Nathan Adrian (2007, 09-11), the 2008 U.S. Olympian who concluded his collegiate career by helping propel the 2010-11 Cal men’s swimming and diving team to an NCAA team championship in March, won the national titles in both the 50 and 100 free. On Dec. 1 Adrian clocked a time of 21.85 in the 50 free, and then won the 100 free in 48.33 on Dec. 3.
Also on Dec. 1, sophomore distance freestyler Jeremy Bagshaw finished 10th in the 400 free with a mark of 3:56.78.

Anger is an elite punter:
(BERKELEY) – Bryan Anger will be honored with the College Football Performance Awards Elite Punter Trophy during a presentation at halftime of the Cal-San Jose State men’s basketball game at Haas Pavilion on Wednesday, Dec. 7. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT.
Anger has had yet another banner season in 2011 for the Bears in his fourth campaign as the team’s starting punter. For each of the past three seasons (2009-11), he has earned first-team all-conference honors and also captured the J. Scott Duncan Award as the team’s Most Valuable special teams player. Anger is one of only four players in the history of Cal football to be named first-team all-conference for three consecutive seasons. He is averaging 44.57 yards per punt in 2011 to rank third in the Pac-12 and 12th nationally for those with the NCAA’s minimum number of punts per game. His 2011 average is also fifth on Cal’s all-time single-season list and has improved his career average to 43.54 yards per punt, second on Cal’s all-time list. He earned an honorable mention spot on Phil Steele’s 2011 midseason All-American squad.
“As my time wraps up here at Cal, it is truly an honor to be named the CFPA Elite Punter for my performance over the past two seasons,” Anger said. “I look forward to finishing off the season strong in San Diego. Go Bears!”

As a man who loves good special teamers (Colquitt is the Chief’s bestg player!) I never understood why yards per punt is so commonly used. This has more to do with field position than anything else. I always like the inside the 20,10, 5 stats much more.

WBB v. SMC on Thurs:
BERKELEY – The California Golden Bears (6-2) will take on a pair of Bay Area WCC schools, first traveling to Moraga for a Thursday, Dec. 8 game at Saint Mary’s (5-3) at 7 p.m. The Bears close out the week on Saturday, Dec. 10 hosting Santa Clara (6-2) at 2 p.m. at Haas Pavilion.
The Bears will travel 14 miles to take on the Gaels on Thursday night (7 p.m. tip). Though Cal and Saint Mary’s have played one another six of the last seven seasons, this is the Bears’ first trip over the mountain since the 2002-03 season. The Bears fell 71-64 Dec. 21, 2002, which is also the last time the Gaels topped the Bears. Cal has won six straight meetings and lead the series 15-5, but Cal has not won in Moraga since a 91-80 victory on Nov. 29, 1994.
Over the past six years, the Bears have dominated California schools who are not members of the Pac-12. In 20 games since 2005-06, including this season’s 85-61 victory over Sacramento State, the Bears have only lost once to an out-of-conference team from the Golden State, the 68-66 stunning loss to San Jose State during the 2009-10 season. The Bears 19 victories over California schools include two wins in the NCAA Tournament (San Diego, 2008; Fresno State, 2009) and a WNIT overtime win (UC Davis, 2010).

BERKELEY – The Golden Bears return home to host four straight games at Haas Pavilion after suffering just their second loss of the season; a 64-63 defeat at the hands of San Diego State, on the road.
Cal is eager to get back into the national rankings after falling out, following its loss to the Aztecs, and will have the opportunity to regain its footing with four of its final five non-conference games, at home.
The Bears will host San Jose State, on Wednesday evening, for the 19th time in program history. Cal owns a dominating 17-1 record against the Spartans in games played at home. The Bears are also 25-3 under head coach Mike Montgomery in non-conference home games, including a 5-0 mark, this year.
Sophomore F Allen Crabbe has regained his touch and leads the squad with a 15.4 ppg average. He ranks eighth in the Pac-12 and has made waves, nationally, with the 24th-best three-point field-goal shooting percentage. Crabbe is also 30th, in the country, with 3.0 three-point baskets per game.

VBallers honored:
BERKELEY – The American Volleyball Coaches Association selected senior Tarah Murrey for its All-Pacific Region Team and Shannon Hawari was honored as an honorable mention, the AVCA announced Tuesday. Murrey makes her second career appearance on the All-Region squad.
Murrey finished her Cal career with a list of impressive accolades, most recently as the Pac-12 Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also earned placement on the All-Pac-12 First Team and as a Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention. A two-time Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week this season, Murrey led California with 4.20 kills per set. She was also one of the 10 finalists for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that honors student-athletes who excel in the classroom, on the court and in the community.
Hawari was second on the squad with an impressive 2.68 kills per set and 1.17 blocks per set. Talented on and off the court, Hawari earned an All-Pac-12 honorable mention as well as a Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention. The Pac-12 also honored Hawari as the Oct. 24 Conference Defensive Player of the Week. Helping the Bears to their early No. 1 national ranking, Hawari landed on the Hilton Garden Inn Classic All-Tournament Team and the Cal Molten Classic All-Tournament Team.

Medical Admin Story of the Day (In case someone wants to chime in or comment...)
I was in a surgical rotation. End of the day, this girl comes into the ER with severe swelling in her neck due to infected wisdom teeth. Her airway was constricting and she could not open her mouth. The chief resident operated and saved her life. Toughest surgery I ever personally witnessed.
The next day, the med admin chewed him out on rounds in front of everyone – residents, patients, nurses, etc. Full-on screaming with profanity. “Why didn’t you get a CT you -insert profanity here—?!” After the guy was done, the chief resident calmly took the CT scan out of folder he was carrying and put it up on the view box next to the patient. I asked why he hadn’t defended himself. “He’d just find another reason to yell at me. This way, at least I know I can’t be punished for it.”

NinersNation previews the Cardinals game:
The San Francisco 49ers travel down to Glendale this Sunday to face the Arizona Cardinals, looking to at least maintain and possible increase their lead on the New Orleans Saints for the second first round by in the 2012 NFL playoffs. The Cardinals are on a solid run having won four of their last five games. Of course, their one loss in that stretch was a 23-7 victory for the 49ers at Candlestick.
That game was a crazy one considering David Akers had two field goals blocked and missed another one. John Skelton was pretty much a disaster that game as he threw three interceptions and almost lost fumble before being replaced by Richard Bartell. The Cardinals got a late touchdown on a Bartell pass to Larry Fitzgerald, but otherwise it was a 49ers rout.
The 49ers get a different look this weekend as Kevin Kolb is back in the saddle. He started this past weekend in the upset of Dallas after sitting for a month with foot issues. Much like he’s shown this season, he did some solid things and he struggled at times. Nonetheless, he is an upgrade over John Skelton and will bring a challenge to the 49ers secondary. And in Arizona, crazy things sometimes happen when the 49ers and Cardinals meet up, so we’ll see what this Sunday brings.

Could lakers get Paul?
All day the New Orleans Hornets have been staging a Chris Paul auction, and it seemed for a while that the Lakers had dropped out. The Clippers or Warriors appeared to have emerged by late afternoon as CP3’s most likely landing spots. But according to David Aldridge it’s still too early to count out the Lake Show:
The Los Angeles Lakers are not out of the Chris Paul Sweepstakes.
A league source involved in the discussions said late Tuesday night that the Lakers are still among the teams the New Orleans Hornets are having advanced discussions with on a potential trade of Paul, the four-time All-Star guard who is seeking a trade after spending his first six seasons in the Big Easy.
The Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Celtics currently have a leg up on other teams that are trying to acquire Paul. Yahoo! Sports had reported earlier Tuesday that the Clippers, Warriors and Celtics had the three best offers on the table for Paul. The Lakers’ potential offer would send either center Andrew Bynum or forward Pau Gasol along with forward Lamar Odom to the Hornets for Paul.
Hmm. A 2-for-1 trade wouldn’t work under the salary cap. The Lakers would have to take back another piece, and presumably they’d insist it be Emeka Okafor. Otherwise the depth chart is nearly blank at the four and five positions. Any such deal might spell the end of the Lakers’ pursuit of Dwight Howard, as it’s dicey whether Orlando would accept either Drew or Pau straight up without the Odom sweetener. My hunch is, Mitch passes on CP3 and keeps his powder dry for Dwight.

Sactown Royalty talks Sacramento Sked:
The Sacramento Kings’ revamped 2011-12 schedule has been released. In addition to the opener — December 26 against the L.A. Lakers, in which the color yellow shall be prohibited from Here We Stayed Arena — the Kings will end the season on April 26 defending home court against the infidels from the south.
The Kings lucked out and were given just one back-to-back-to-back: January 3-5 at the Memphis Grizzlies, at the Denver Nuggets and at home against the Milwaukee Bucks. That could very well be an 0-3 triptych, given the special difficulties of playing in Denver on short rest; the Bucks in Sacramento would otherwise be a winnable game.
While the relative lack of B2B2Bs is a schedule bonus — some teams have three such situations — the calendar won’t be kind to the Kings early. By the time the All-Star break hits in late February, the Kings will have played 11 games at home and 21 on the road.

Rookie doing well for SJ Sharks:
Finish the story.
The Sharks start strong, getting an early goal from Joe Pavelski just a minute into the game. Apparently firing on all cylinders, San Jose puts shot after shot on Minnesota, controlling the play. Then Josh Harding, he of the sparkling 0.935 save percentage, gets knocked out of the game by his own player. With starter Nicklas Backstrom on the shelf with an injury, Minnesota Wild coach Mike Yeo is forced to start his third string, rookie netminder.
That kind of opening effort usually leads to a win, and if you were playing the odds, you would have assumed that the Sharks would have earned a better fate. If not, you’re probably a narcissist.
Or you’ve just been watching a lot of Sharks hockey lately.
The Sharks generated plenty of shots (42 to be exact), but rookie Matt Hackett dispelled all 34 that he faced in a Al Stalock-esque rookie showing. The Sharks controlled play, they had the chances. They just didn’t capitalize, and that’s been the story lately.

This is a tough decision. I’m considering either:
- A literary analysis of the 5 “Fire Starkey: Ultimate Wingman” and 2 “Rishi: Diaries of A Love Assassin” episodes which includes:
* Ranking the episodes on real life accuracy and humor
* Their place and relevance in 21st century American Literature (using specific examples to illustrate your points)
* A list of the single male lovehunter stereotypes not used (so I can write more episodes!)
OR
- a treatise on the 10 primary reasons why Joe Starkey sucks as a radio announcer using specific examples of his eggregious shittiness.
Haven’t decided yet.

grounds for divorce
I may be overreacting here, but that doesn’t matter.
In prior DBDs I mentioned that I’ve never seen the Grinch who stole Christmas cartoon. Since my kids hadn’t either, I told the missus “hey, I’m returning those Netflix DVDs and getting the Grinch so I can watch it with the kids.”
So yesterday I called to say I was on the way home, and mentioned that I saw she had called around 3.30 but I hadn’t picked up because the phone didn’t really ring through (happens every so often). She said, “Oh, I was calling to see if you wanted to watch the Grinch with the kids but since you didn’t answer I figured I’d just put it on for them.”
Let’s say I was disappointed.
Then when I got home, I was asked when I was next going to the barber, as the 6 year old wants to get her bangs tidied up. My response “you mean this past weekend? Like when I told you, hey I’m going to the barber, and then came back with shorter hair?” And my wife’s response: “Oh. Well your hair is only ever short or really short, I hadn’t really noticed.”
SIGH.

True Story
My friends got me an ornament of the leg lamp in the wooden box that talks and lights up…but Mrs. Unclesam hates it and makes me hang it in the back of the tree after we argue about it for 10 min…life imitates art.
My neighbors proudly display theirs in the window every christmas. It’s a nice tradition.
Cal: Bears with Books.
I think she might actually be getting me a Cal ornament…it was in the google autofill on the iPad recently…
Yes, sometimes life does imitate art.
And sometimes life turns art on its head.
My favorite Christmas movie is probably It’s A Wonderful Life. I say probably because I’m also a sucker for the Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol (alternately titled Scrooge). I never tire of a story in which a bitter old man re-discovers his own humanity, regardless of the season.
For my wife, though, her favorite Christmas movie without a doubt is A Christmas Story. She wants a leg lamp very much. I want very much, to give her a full-sized version. We just can’t afford to have one right now. We have a picture window that overlooks Spruce Street. Guess what she wants to put in the window.

I have a friend from HS whose husband (who is her second husband, but was also her HS sweetheart, it’s quite cute) made her a leg lamp one year. Apparently it was the only way he could think of to make up from some huge fight they had.
I have to admit I’ve never seen (or even heard of) A Christmas Story.
It’s quite enjoyable.

There’s so much to like about that movie. There’s something for everyone in that movie; something that everyone can relate to.
It’s told from the point of view of the kid as an adult looking back on his childhood, with humor and a wry, knowing, yet gleeful perspective.
Everyone should see it as a kid and as an adult. If you didn’t get to see it as a kid, then see it as an adult and make up for missing it as a kid by seeing it multiple times.
Come to think of it, one of the major cable channels plays it on a repeating loop on Christmas Day (I think it may be TBS or TNT).
Definitely worth the time.

Hey, just because we take our baths with plastic buckets doesn’t mean we’re behind the times!

Fact: America is trying to go green and conserve water.
Fact: American society has been trending towards taking shorter showers/baths
Fact: A bath with plastic buckets uses significantly less water than a two minute shower
Fact: Such baths are much more common in India than in America
Conclusion: India is ahead of America

Fact: A bath with plastic buckets uses significantly less water than a two minute shower
not necessarily true, dependent upon flow of water in shower and size of buckets.
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
That is a fair point. For purposes of this fact, I used median bucket size vs median shower head flow.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
my shower is very non pressure-y, once i stopped the drain to see how much water i use during a shower vs. a bath – you’d be amazed how little water you use in the shower comparatively. it was maybe half an inch by the time i was done, and i have a small tub

India to Wal-Mart, it’s not us, it’s you:
’
REPORTING FROM NEW DELHI — Less than two weeks after India announced it would let foreign companies such as Wal-Mart enter its fast-growing but often inefficient retail market, the government said Wednesday it was bowing to mounting opposition and suspending the move.
The turnaround is the latest sign of weak leadership and lack of direction by India’s Congress Party-led government, which is beset by corruption scandals, an increasingly ineffective prime minister and rebellious allies. The long-awaited opening of the retail market was touted as the government’s biggest reform initiative since it was reelected in 2009.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told parliament Wednesday after a meeting with government and opposition parties that the proposal would be put on hold until a consensus emerged. The changes would have allowed single-brand foreign firms such as Nike or Adidas to assume a 100% ownership stake and multi-brand retailers such as Wal-Mart a 51% stake.

As in, it would let in any foreign-owned retail store like that to enter. More grocery stores and whatnot would follow.
And I think that benefits the average Indian consumer.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
It would benefit the average middle class Indian consumer. I’m not sure how it would affect the poorer classes. It would probably hurt some of them.
Also, I think more foreign investment will only come when the corruption is controlled. Controlling the corruption in and of itself would bring great benefit to all average Indians everywhere.
What ever happened to those anti-corruption bills they were discussing in the government?
In the Game of Trolls, you either troll or you die.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Well, it would hurt the poorer classes inasmuch as the shopkeepers will be out of jobs. A significant portion of the employed own their own shops. For example, near my grandmother’s old flat in South Delhi (where I spent the most of my time when I was in India), there was a bazaar nearby, multi-storied.
Outside, there were a couple food stands, while inside, you’d find a couple newstands, a pharmacy, a place to get drinks, a store for cds and dvd, etc.
If all that, which is currently like ten different shops ,can be replaced by one Wal-Mart… then those shopkeepers will be gone. Will they in turn be employed by Wal-Mart or will Wal-Mart try to hire the call centre types, who know English?

only come when the corruption is controlled.
having lived in third world countries, corruption IMHO is the single biggest obstacle to improving the lives of citizens.
Which is why, even with our flaws, I am so glad we live here. It is somewhat comforting to know so many high level government officials call prison home such as Rep Trafficant, Govs Blagojevich, Edwards and Siegelman, and so on and so on.

It’s not just the lobbying, it’s the campaign contributions and sinecures for family or when people leave office.
Just because it’s more subtle doesn’t mean it’s not there.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
Agree… or being able to buy and sell stocks on insider information that would be illegal to everyone else.
Thankfully Pelosi can’t keep blocking changes to that and with Frank retiring it should be easier to get that change passed.
But like I said, at least we do in fact put a lot of these folks in prison…
I know there are issues with it. And like fiatlux said, when people go awry, we put them in jail. It’s a lot easier to catch here.
The thing is, lobbying as a system is not comparable to graft.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
I’m saying that the above-board lobbying might as well be graft, and there’s a substantial amount of money changing hands for what might as well be graft. It’s an indication of the relative maturity of the US political system.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
I disagree. It’s one thing to influence a politician through lobbying efforts and it’s another to give them money for an interest.

I’m inclined to think that one of three possibilities is true:
1 – I didn’t make myself clear the first couple of times I explained my position
2 – You didn’t understand the two ways in which I explained my position
3 – You are ignoring what I am writing
We have a lobbying / political action system that is designed to channel money to politicians both for their election and to get their vote. The use of jobs for retired politicians and their spouses is outside the lobbying laws and rarely gets picked up for ethics reasons.
Furthermore, you’re overestimating the extent to which lobbying is effectively regulated. For example, you’re supposed to register if you’re lobbying for a foreign interest, and as long as that’s been the case, lobbyists have been skirting the rules so they can pocket money from at times questionable sources and appear clean.
The one good thing about all of this is that it’s bipartisan.

Nonsense. Bribery Lobbying has a hugely negative effect in our country as well as India, is deeply ingrained, and is part of the political culture to the point where eliminating it will be almost impossible.

Corn flakes failed for the longest time in India since they became soggy when in contact with hot milk. They only succeeded when Kellogg adjusted the product to stay crunchy in hot milk in India.

And even beyond food, the tiny little shops selling books and comics and toys and whatnot. I’m having trouble explaining it, I guess, but I would be very sad to see that go.

No, I get it. Big box stores (and the dramatic increase in car ownership that started during the Thatcher government) absolutely killed high street shops in the UK. In some cases, that wasn’t a bad thing, but when I visit my aunt and uncle and walk down the main street in their little town, the shops that used to sell hardware or vegetables or outdoor gear are now either charity shops or coffee shops or sell tourist tat. It’s a shame.

I always felt a little bad in Maiden head being on the high street and buying my coffee at Starbucks, but that’s all there was.
The damage is done… and believe me, it’s easy to romanticize ye olden days until I think back to actually experiencing them. Some of the “food” we ended up with on trips home when traversing the UK were just atrocious.

It’s in general a good thing, though it has had some ramifications like I’ve described above in some cities.
I appreciate the lifelong shopkeeper over price and efficiency. I like the owner of the drink shop who would still recognize me if I walked in today, before asking me if he should order me a crate of Red Bull. I like the comic store owner who would ask me how things are going back home in America. I like my local chaat shop, where the owner would just start serving me pani puri and knows not to charge anything until I’m done.

It's the house from Up!
The couple had been looking mainly in California for a home that had either a colorful exterior or a bright blue kitchen like the one in the film. They then learned about the home in the Salt Lake City suburb of Herriman, Utah, that was built based on the film. The home, which was officially recognized by Disney as the Up house, had a $400,000 price tag on it.

That’s disappointing. I thought the Up house was based on a house in the east bay. Sad.

I’m working at home this morning. Today’s the day the milkman delivers so when the doorbell rang I assumed it was him – turned out to be two ladies who were going through the neighborhood talking to people about Jesus. I got a pass because we never removed the mezuzah that the previous residents had, but they did reassure me that the scriptures they were handing out were from the Old Testament.
We almost never get people trying to get recruits in this neighborhood… and on a Wednesday at that. Odd. Anyway, I wished them a merry Christmas and recycled the handout.
I do wish I had been able to see them take a crack at converting the elderly lesbian couple across the street – one of them is the Queen of Scientific Rationalism and has no edit button whatsoever.

Interesting Article on how this changed the Bay Area
The attack crippled the Pacific fleet, killed 2,402 Americans and plunged the United States into World War II. It also created a huge panic on the West Coast, particularly in San Francisco, where the Army and Navy were convinced the city was about to be attacked by enemy planes.
The panic soon subsided and the Bay Area settled into becoming a major staging area for the war in the Pacific. When it was over, the San Francisco Bay Area and the West Coast had completely changed.
From a Real Estate perspective, this transformed the Bay Area, although the transition back to civilian uses of military bases has been painfully slow.

Cops dismantle Occupy SF encampment. Bums threaten to leave town.
Police raided the Occupy SF camp early today, arresting 70 campers and protesters at Justin Herman Plaza and clearing out the 2-month-old encampment.
Officers, sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and public works crews converged on the camp at the foot of Market Street at about 1:30 a.m. and gave protesters five minutes to clear out, said Officer Albie Esparza, a San Francisco police spokesman.
Money Quote:
The [police] chief added, “Most of the people in this neighborhood are part of the 99 percent, and they needed some relief. So this part of the 99 percent removed that part of the 99 percent to give the other part of the 99 percent some relief.”

I don't know if this is vintage, but . . .
I heard this story on NPR this morning and was rather shocked.
New band members –– called “crabs” –– had to face choreographed assaults, with two-by-fours, belts, baseball bats, beer bottles, suffering literally hundreds of blows from their older compatriots. For example, an Alabama A&M flute player vividly told me about how she’d been attacked, time and time again, by the older flutists.
So extreme has been the band torture at HBCUs that some victims have had to be hospitalized. After one crab at Southern University almost died when his kidneys stopped functioning, his assailants were criminally prosecuted, because, an assistant district attorney told me, “To continue that cycle … somebody was gonna die.” Still, when my piece aired, there were no apologies, and worse: no change in the way things had always been. The bands must play on. Then, last month, a member of White’s Florida A&M band died of alleged beatings at the hands of his comrades, in the line of tradition.

this isn’t just the HBC bands but the HB frats as well. My first roommate in the dorms at Texas was a black guy rushing a frat. Basically, he told me never to answer the door or tell anyone where he was. One day, he came back to the room and asked me “how bad it was”. He took his shirt off and he was a really well built, light skinned dude but his back was various shades of purple with cuts all over it. Apparently the brothers from the HBCs in the Houston area had visited and beaten all the pledges with their belts, buckle end first. He ended up making it through a few weeks later and got a massive Omega branded into his bicep.

no, thats a true story. As awesome as the Texas swimming program is, they are the biggest pack of douches this side of the Mississippi! At least they were when I went there. My gf was an RA in Jester (which had the athlete section) and she would have me walk around with her when she had to do all night rounds. Besides being terrified of the football players (once a door opened right in front of us and a chair got thrown out of a room and smashed on the wall. A not to be named future NFL player walked out, saw us, did a double take and apologized since he didn’t see us there then he went back into his room), the swimmers were always a rpoblem. They like to walk around naked, flipping their dicks around and when you ask them to quiet down, they would routinely yell abuse at us.
Fuck heads, that fight at the Jewish frat was sweet. The only time I ever remember feeling delighted for punching someone in the face. (Sorry Twist)

2011 World Cup Champions Team India
by non-fraternity member, do you include everyone in the world?
probably.
The odds of Cal winning are inversely proportional to the odds of Cal winning.
When I was in school there were stats, but I’m not googling for them at the moment. The stats at that time showed that those with the propensity to rape were:
1. athletes
2. frat boys
3. everyone else.
I did not say that actually, though the connection is clear. Regardless, this is info from a friend who was a mental health counselor / therapist at the Tang center.

Okay, I was honestly wondering. I’ve heard that fact quoted; just wanted to know the truth behind it.

You are probably right. It just seemed really vague and I wasn’t sure. I was hesitant to make any sort of joke if it was relating to that, bc then I’d look like a total asshole.

Also, it seemed odd that she would state “I know of at least one virginity mislaid at a frat house” if she just meant somebody had sex for the first time at a frat house. That seems probably so common that it doesn’t seem like a big deal to know that. So, I figured that there mus be something more to it than that

Sorry…I was doing some experiments, but am now back to explain myself.
Anyway, I hate how people say, “Oh, I lost my virginity,” because I mean…it’s not like you go around looking for it. So, I was trying to make a pun with misLAID. Fail. The stories I have are not about rape, thank goodness!

He is, in fact, quoted in this article about the branding practices of the black fraternities. Totally by chance it was the first one that came up when I Googled Alpha Phi Alpha branding.
Lawrence Ross Jr., author of “The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities,” is also a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. Ross, who resides in Los Angeles, said the culture of branding was "too strong" to be stomped out by critics.
But the decision to get branded is a choice, Ross said. "It’s their body, and they make the decision," he said. "I have an Alpha tattoo, and the decision was strictly a personal decision to demonstrate my pride in Alpha that way. I think for most members, the choice of brand or tattoo comes down to the same thing."

Question for CGB Gamers and Awesome Computer Experts
Grandpa Kodiak wants to know if his 2005 Dell Gaming PC has any value.
He’s taking one of our office computers in to get repaired.(prob new power supply) While he’s there, he was thinking of also taking in his old PC. Worth repairing/upgrading at this point, or should he just look into buying a new rig? He doesn’t play FPS anymore. Mostly turn-based strategy games with occasional RTS.
(And keep in mind, he destroys any and all PC’s that he comes in contact with. Never turns them off. Never defrags or re-formats. Lifelong Apple/Mac person, so his PC-knowledge is even less than mine.)
Old Toothwrangler
We have a cheap one for the office phone-call software bought 10 years ago.
He bought himself a gaming Dell because it came pre-loaded/set-up. I think neither my sister nor I wanted to take on the roll of Sisyphus for his tech support.

I asked him. He doesn’t know.
But, the lady at the shop already told him that, “he has a paperweight.”
Old Toothwrangler
her job as a salesperson is to convince you of that. but all gaming rigs are obsolete as soon as you order the parts.
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
Well, I told him to check and let me know what the specs are anyway.
For his type of gaming, I don’t think he’d need much to be serviceable. Maybe a new graphics card and some ram if the motherboard isn’t too obsolete.
Old Toothwrangler
if it’s 2005 there is no point in upgrading ram, it’s more expensive to get ddr2 now than ddr3. 4 gigs of ddr3 is like 30 bucks most places currently. 4 gigs of ddr2 is like 80
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
If its >= 5 years old, the Motherboard might not even have PCI-E on it – I don’t know of many (relatively current) video cards that have AGP. Memory is also freakishly expensive for older computers.
I’d even get a new case – Dell Cases were proprietary for a while and had motherboard specifications – for a while, you couldn’t even put a regular mobo into the case of a dell. I’m sure they’ve all standardized at this point.
In addition to that – a new case should allow for better cooling.
what’s he trying to say is either get a pre-built rig and we’ll get rid of the bloatware, or build one yourself if you want to take the time to do it
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
In his case, yes.
If I were going to get a new gaming PC, I’d ask for help and try to build it myself.
But there’s no way that he’d be up for that. I tried to guilt-trip my sis into building a new one for him. She was too smart to fall for that.
Old Toothwrangler
Yeah, if you’re at all interested in seeing what all of these new fangled games are doing, might be a worthwhile time sink. The nice thing about today’s computers is that they are mostly not getting outdated because the current-gen gaming consoles are keeping the technology back a bit.
Unfortunately, time-wise I’m not doing much with the newer games.
I only played Skyrim because I was stuck on the couch for two weeks.
Otherwise, I’d have to look into some type of building or puzzle game that I could do with Little K. At 5, she’s just a bit too young for a bunch of them. Starting to get there, though.

We used to play war games together on the old apple II. I remember designing starships for Cosmic Balance (Star Trek game) and we’d see how many enemy ships we could beat. Then, we’d split up a tank or battleship squadron and try to defeat Axis forces. As I got older, we’d do the 3x games like Imperium Galactum.

For M-A-S-H fans, Harry Morgan died
Emmy-winning character actor Harry Morgan, whose portrayal of the fatherly Col. Potter on television’s “M-A-S-H” highlighted a show business career that included nine other TV series, 50 films and the Broadway stage, died Wednesday. He was 96.

I had an odd childhood memory… in the summer in the 70s, Channel 44 or Channel 20, I can’t remember, used to run old 1950s TV shows… and I remember Harry Morgan in December Bride… I don’t know why, but that particular show always sort of captured my imagination
Flash forward to 2002… i’m living in LA and one of my good friend’s father used to be a producer on MASH… one day quite randomly ran into him on Larchmont having lunch with … Harry Morgan… I was introduced and brought up December Bride with him and I think he was genuinely amazed someone my age would know about it… he was as charming and gracious as you would imagine he would be… Just one of those cool little life moments.

RIP, Sherman Potter
Now, I know that Harry Morgan was not really Sherman T. Potter. Before he was Col. Potter, I remember him as Joe Friday’s sidekick, Bill Gannon, in Dragnet.
There were plenty of moments in M*A*S*H where Col. Potter didn’t seem like a by-the-book career Army officer. But it was established in the first episode that introduced Col. Sherman Potter that showed while he could be serious, he also knew when to let up on the reins.
Early in the episode, Klinger walks into Potter’s office wearing a gold evening gown, a tiara, white gloves with a gauntlet up to his elbows, and heels. Paraphrasing from memory:
Klinger (saluting): Col. Potter, sir! Corporal Klinger. I play with dolls. I’m wearing a Warner bra. My last wish is to be buried in my mother’s wedding gown. I’m nuts. I should be out.
Potter (returning the salute): Horse hockey! I’ve seen every dodge in the book. One fellow carried a colt in his arms, said he was a mare. Another insisted he was a potted plant and that we water him every morning. No, no, this won’t do soldier! You get out of that fru-fru and into uniform and you stay in uniform! Dismissed!
Klinger turns to leave the office. On his way out, Radar comes in.
Klinger (to Radar): I’m finished. I may have to burn my bra! (exits)
Later, at the end of the episode Potter, Pierce, Hunnicut and Burns are all in Potter’s office. Burns is indicating that he established discipline at the 4077th and that he can be counted on as Potter’s second in command.
Potter: I appreciate that, Major.
Klinger enters wearing a girl’s sailor outfit.
Klinger: I found your bridle, sir. It was in the box marked "trusses."
Potter: Thank you, corporal.
Klinger and Potter exchange salutes, Klinger turns to leave.
Potter: Klinger!
Klinger turns around.
Potter: Nice outfit.
Klinger: Thank You, sir! It’s from the Shirley Temple Collection! (Klinger salutes again and leaves).
Burns stands next to Klinger, mouth agape, and then looks at Potter. While Pierce and Hunnicut are giggling, Potter has a calm, collected look. Potter’s eyebrow flash lets Burns know that Potter isn’t going to be a stick in the mud.
Fade out.

do you remember what i’m talking about on those TV shows… I think it was channel 44… they would run all these old 50’s black and white shows… I recall, Bachelor Father, December Bride, Dobie Gillis… one about a secretary in San Francisco (can’t remember name)… OH, and they would also have You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx episodes… i think they would do one of Groucho episode and one of the others every night… like from 10 – 11… Anyone in their 40s-50s who grew up in the Bay Area remember this?
Harry Morgan was in December Bride, and his role got spun off from there to Pete and Gladys. But no, since I didn’t grow up in the Bay Area, I don’t remember Channel 44 showing old TV shows.

I just started watching You Bet Your Life on Youtube. there will never be another Groucho…god was he talented.
The odds of Cal winning are inversely proportional to the odds of Cal winning.
that was a sensational show… somewhere on line i read a little history of it and how it was created just for him and how they kept tweaking the show so the contestants could win… it was all so innocent and charming…
Groucho’s in my top 3 of favorite comedians. He had such brilliant tact for being risque, but PC, before there was even so much of a concept as ‘PC.’ There was one episode where this Korean woman was on as a contestant, and I braced myself for “ching chong ding dong,” but he was totally respectful. Her story was amazing, too…she and her family were captured by the North Koreans, held at gunpoint and told they were going to be shot, during the war. They were bluffing and didn’t shoot them, but were still held. She said the sight of US Marines entering the compound to save them was the happiest moment of her life.

and i gotta tell you… they’re actually good memories…
slightly non-sequiturish… growing up I loved American Bandstand and always wondered what those cool kids on the show’s lives were like… and how did they get on the show… etc… we always argued about whether or not the performers lip synced or sang live… and then this appearance by the Go-Gos settled it once and for all… right around the 1 minute mark Belinda doesn’t even try to pretend… she’s probably coming off a raging coke binge any, so who cares!
Yes, I do remember old shows (in b&w) on both Channel 44 and on Channel 20. I loved Perry Mason, but I often fell asleep before midnight when the re-runs would come on.
You Bet Your Life was great. I love Groucho’s sense of humor and use of double entendres. He was a master. What a wit!
Burns and Allen was similarly funny, only it was a couple, not just one guy being sarcastic. Gracie was such a great foil for George. Or was it the other way around?
"We do not seek men who will bravely lie down to die, but men who will fight valiantly to live."

George was the straightman and Gracie delivered all the comedic punch… i loved when George would talk to the camera… it was supposed to be sort of their life in Beverly Hills / Hollywood (I think)… always looked like a great life..
What I am talking about though is they would do this just during the summer… and i want to say it would go from 10-11or 11-12 every night.
Hmmmm…maybe it was Channel 44. I think Channel 20 was more year round with its old TV programming.
I think that both Channel 44 and Channel 20 went away from that kind of programming/format because TVLand and other cable channels took up syndicated programming.
Summertime is a great time to do it, though. Typically, re-runs are in full gallop and students are out of school and watching more TV (!).
I miss being able to stay up late and watch TV. It only happens now when I have a bout of insomnia.

Ted Miller's a funny guy
7. Kraft Fight Hunger (Dec. 31): Illinois (6-6) vs. UCLA (6-7). You have two interim coaches because both teams fired their head coach. You have a certainty that one team will end the season with a losing record. You have one team riding a six-game losing streak. You have another that lost its final regular season game 50-zip to its archrival and needed a waiver from the NCAA to even be here. If you are watching this game on New Year’s Eve, you are in need of some fairly strong New Year’s resolutions about, you know, getting a life.

June Jones to be named ASU's head football coach
Arizona State is preparing to announce that SMU coach June Jones will become the team’s next coach, sources said.
Arizona State dismissed Dennis Erickson a week ago after five seasons. In choosing Jones, the Sun Devils are again turning to a coach with both college football and NFL experience.
Jones, who spent the last four seasons at SMU, was formerly coach at Hawaii and for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers and Atlanta Falcons.
Jones spent nine seasons at Hawaii, leading the Warriors to the Sugar Bowl in 2007.

According to ESPN’s Paul Kuharsky, observant viewers threw multiple flags against the “Worldwide Leader” after it became evident that some of the overhead shots on the “Monday Night Football” game between the Jaguars and San Diego Chargers were outdated representations of Jacksonville.
That’s not the best part. According to Kuharsky, one of the aerial shots was actually of Charlotte, North Carolina. Whoops! Kuharshy reached out to an ESPN spokesperson, who had this to say:
"The Charlotte aerial was an inadvertent mistake. It should not have aired. We apologize that it was part of the telecast.
“The scenics of Jacksonville that were used during ‘Monday Night Countdown’ were shot the night of the previous MNF game there in late October. We did not have a crew shooting scenics Monday. There were no graphic or audio mentions indicating the shot was live, though we understand viewers may have been under this assumption.”

Giants trade Torres, Ramon Ramirez to Mets for Angel Pagan
Late Tuesday the Mets traded outfielder Angel Pagan to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for outfielder Andres Torres and reliever Ramon Ramirez.
The Mets, who lost shorstop Jose Reyes to the free-wheeling Miami Marlins earlier this week, also added free-agent relief pitchers Frank Francisco and Jon Rauch in an effort to beef up a bullpen that finished 28th in the majors last season with a 4.33 ERA.

Sandusky arrested again. You’ll never guess why.
Ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested and arraigned Wednesday on new sex abuse charges brought by two new accusers, including one who claims Sandusky molested him numerous times in a basement bedroom, according to authorities.
The claims bring the number of Sandusky’s alleged victims to 10 and he now faces more than 50 charges stemming from accusations he molested boys for years on Penn State property, in his home and elsewhere. The scandal has raised questions about whether Penn State officials did all they should have to stop the alleged activity and ended the careers of the school’s president and football coach Joe Paterno.

Having watched both teams in every game this season, the game has the potential to be an ugly, fairly low scoring game so the analogy looks like it could be valid.
Cal SHOULD win this game, Texas’s O is dreadful and I don’t expect it to get better in 3 weeks and while their D is very good, they are extremely vulnerable at safety with the loss of Brewster and now Scott. Gideon will also be playing with a broken hand.
If Maynard plays like he has the past 4 games, Cal wins by 10+. The only wasy Texas wins is if Cal goes into turnover fest mode and gives the Longhorns short fields a la SC and fUCLA. Cal has to stack the box on D and make Texas throw. McCoy is a decent passer but has a tendency to float balls if rushed. With Fozzy out and Bergeron’s status uncertain, Malcom Brown has to be healthy otherwise its all over with for Los Horns.
Just my opinion.
Just IMO.

Mythbusters Accident
One of the zany experiments staged by the “Mythbusters” television show nearly turned into a suburban tragedy Tuesday afternoon in Dublin when the crew fired a homemade cannon toward huge containers of water at the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department bomb disposal range.
The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all – only awakening because of plaster dust.
The ball wasn’t done bouncing.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family’s beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive.
That’s where Jasbir Gill, 42, who had pulled up 10 minutes earlier with his 13-year-old son, Manvir, found the ball on the floorboards, with glass everywhere and an obliterated dashboard.
Busted?

Whoo! The SEC is doomed
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/31357/the-sec-is-doomed
ESPN.com analyst Brock Huard finally wrote what everyone — and I mean everyone — believes is about to happen in college football: The Pac-12 is poised to overtake the SEC as the nation’s dominant conference.
Sorry, SEC. You had a nice run. We have a nice parting gift — a Hickory Farms summer sausage & cheese gift box — which you can pick up by the exit. Bye bye.
Writes Huard:
The fundamentals are in place for tremendous growth in the Pac-12, led most importantly by a forward-thinking commissioner unwilling to settle for second. Larry Scott brokered the richest television deal in the history of collegiate athletics for his conference, one that not only ensures tens of millions of dollars annually for all of its members but also allows for the type of visibility and exposure necessary to get into every recruit’s living room.
Huard goes on to detail specifics on why each Pac-12 school is going step on the forehead of the SEC on its way to the top. His reasoning you will find is air tight and unassailable. So don’t even think about assailing.
Huard also wonders how we might get more SEC-Pac-12 games.
And who knows, if Alabama or Auburn or the Arkansas Razorbacks would ever venture west of the Rocky Mountains and test their excellence on the road and out of their comfort zone (Alabama’s nonconference schedule this season featured North Texas, Kent State, Penn State and Georgia Southern), as USC and Oregon have been willing to do over the years, we could see this theory put to the test instead of having it exist as a mere hypothetical.

actually upper corner is better than upper mid field… for some reason you’re actually farther away midfield.
But I like the angles…I’ve argued this a lot in my life. For pro stadiums, I feel the view from the top (or at least as low as you can go in the upper level) are the best seats.

Rod Blagojevich gets 14 years in prison.
A federal judge today sentenced impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to 14 years in prison, giving little weight to Blagojevich’s first-ever apology this morning since his arrest three years ago. “The jury didn’t believe you and neither did I,” U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel said.

From the same article:
If Blagojevich is sent to jail today, he will join George Ryan, a Republican who was governor from 1999 to 2003, who is serving a prison sentence. After a scandal involving the illegal sale of government licenses, contracts and leases by state employees, Ryan was convicted of corruption in 2006. Otto Kerner Jr., a Democrat who was governor from 1961 to 1968, was convicted in 1973 on 17 counts of bribery, conspiracy, perjury and related charges.

The problems with the BCS (and maybe how to fix them?)

What’s a Harris Poll?
Do people even know who votes in the Harris Poll? Here are the results. You will see an eclectic mix of people associated with college football. And yet somehow, this seemingly learned group of voters managed to have two voters rank Alabama fourth, nine rank Oklahoma State fourth, four rank Oklahoma State fifth, and three rank Oklahoma State sixth. Sixth! How did that happen? Here is a shocking interview with one Harris Poll voter in which he claimed that the BCS is a mess, and that he might not do as much research as he needs to. This is the voter who inexplicably had Houston fifth after getting blown out at home by Southern Mississippi, while he ranked Oklahoma State sixth. He also revealed that the Harris Poll is a “well-paying job.” That can’t make anyone feel good about this poll when you really don’t even know the level of attention being paid by voters2 and when they are compensated for their vote, incentivizing them to participate even if they have no interest.

MUMIA IS PARTIALLY FREED:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Prosecutors on Wednesday abandoned their 30-year pursuit of the execution of convicted police killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther whose claim that he was the victim of a racist legal system made him an international cause celebre.
Abu-Jamal, 58, will instead spend the rest of his life in prison. His writings and radio broadcasts from death row had put him at the center of an international debate over capital punishment.
Flanked by Officer Daniel Faulkner’s widow, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams announced his decision two days short of the 30th anniversary of the white policeman’s killing.
He said continuing to seek the death penalty could lead to “an unknowable number of years” of appeals, and that some witnesses have died or are unavailable after nearly three decades.
“There’s never been any doubt in my mind that Mumia Abu-Jamal shot and killed Officer Faulkner. I believe that the appropriate sentence was handed down by a jury of his peers in 1982,” said Williams, the city’s first black district attorney. “While Abu-Jamal will no longer be facing the death penalty, he will remain behind bars for the rest of his life, and that is where he belongs.”

That seems to be a sound plan if the goal is to reduce the level of complaint about it. I read the background once and while there were plainly irregularities in the trial, I didn’t walk away thinking that Abu-Jamal was exactly innocent.

More mindless trade talk.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon are the two players New Orleans has pursued the hardest in the Hornets’ fast-moving search for a workable Chris Paul trade, according to sources close to the talks.
But the Hornets continue to meet with resistance from the Warriors and the Clippers on Curry and Gordon, sources told ESPN.com, because both teams are reluctant to part with their young backcourt cornerstones with no assurance from Paul that he will stay beyond this season.
S. Curry
Gordon
Sources said that the Hornets have actually been trying to convince the Warriors to part with Curry since before last season’s trade deadline in February. But the Warriors could only stomach the inclusion of Curry if they knew Paul would extend his contract as part of the trade or at least commit to invoking his option for the 2012-13 season. Golden State has still received no such promises.
One source close to the process told ESPN.com that talks with the Warriors are “definitely cooling” because of Golden State’s unwillingness to include Curry in the deal.
Following a voluntary team workout on Wednesday, Curry said he has received assurances from team executives that he is “safe and secure” with the Warriors despite the latest round of trade talks.
The Clippers, meanwhile, have been aggressive in their pursuit of Paul, but sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com’s Ramona Shelburne that neither Gordon nor restricted free agent center DeAndre Jordan have been offered to New Orleans.

HS FB state championship game TD called back
There is a HS football championship game TD called back because of the taunting rule. The QB broke through the line and the secondary and raised his arm up for less than 5 yards around the opponent 30 before lowering it and running into the end zone. The go ahead TD was called back and a pick was thrown the next play and they ended up losing.
Seems like a bad interpretation of the rule since he wasn’t taunting, regardless of what Skip Bayless says.

most expensive asian cities
Hong Kong’s a bit surprising.
Following are ECA’s top 10 most expensive places in Asia:
1. Tokyo
2. Nagoya
3. Yokohama
4. Kobe, Japan
5. Seoul
6. Singapore
7. Beijing
8. Shanghai
9. Hong Kong
10. Busan
No way this is accurate, unless its for one of those global baskets of goods where they take into account say, a box of triscuits which would cost $4.5 in HKG and maybe $6 in Shanghai.
But still, as a resident of Shanghai and someone who goes to Hong Kong and Beijing at least quarterly, let me give you an anecdote. I was in HK and had dinner with a friend of mine who was complaining about his rent increase. We live in the same size places (about 1000 sq feet, 2 bedroom relatively new apartment buildings). His rent went from $4,500/month to $6,000/month. And he paid the increase. That entire increase is equal to my rent.
So I call bullshit.
this is what the company that did survey said
http://www.eca-international.com/news/press_releases/7541#.TuB37lbnt6J
Hong Kong has tumbled down the list of most expensive locations as a weaker dollar continues to negate the impact of rising prices, according to the latest cost of living survey conducted by ECA International, the world’s leader in the development and provision of solutions for the management and assignment of employees around the world.
Hong Kong’s 26-place drop in the global ranking is the largest fall of any city in Asia and puts the SAR in 58th position globally. Within the region, Hong Kong has slipped from being the 6th to the 9th most expensive location, despite the price of goods there having increased even more than this time last year.
“We are typically seeing higher price levels across the region compared with September 2010, and Hong Kong is no exception: items in ECA’s cost of living basket have gone up by more than 7% in the last twelve months,” said Lee Quane, Regional Director, Asia for ECA International.
“However, when we look at Hong Kong in a regional context, the weak dollar means that the city is now cheaper than a number of other locations including Singapore, Beijing and Shanghai, where there has not only been significant price inflation but also currencies have strengthened. While this is good news for many companies who have international assignees in Hong Kong, sending staff out of Hong Kong could become more expensive for businesses if allowances designed to protect an employee’s purchasing power whilst on assignment need to be increased.”
Living costs for assignees are affected by inflation, availability of goods and exchange rates, all of which can have a significant impact on assignee remuneration packages. To help multinational companies calculate assignment salaries, ECA carries out a Cost of Living Survey twice a year, comparing the cost of a basket of consumer goods and services commonly purchased by assignees in over 400 locations worldwide.
The data is used by ECA clients to calculate cost of living allowances for assignees. The survey covers:
Food: Groceries; dairy produce; meat and fish; fresh fruit and vegetables
Basic: Drink and tobacco; miscellaneous goods; services
General: Clothing; electrical goods; motoring; meals out
Certain living costs such as accommodation, utilities (electricity, gas, water costs), car purchase and school fees are not included in the survey. Such items can make a significant difference to expenses but are usually compensated for separately in expatriate packages.
I mean, it sounds like property price is not part of the metric…only “the cost of a basket of consumer goods and services commonly purchased by assignees.” Yeah, land is expensive as fuck in Hong Kong but I don’t think it’s so implausible that everyday items could be cheaper…

by Spazzy Mcgee on Dec 8, 2011 10:30 AM PST up reply actions
Ok, its not implausible, but I’ll bring up a few more real life examples:
transport: taxis in Shanghai start the meter at $2.15 USD and in Hong Kong at $2.40USD – not too different, right? But the rate of is so very mtuch different – in that a 10 minute cab ride in light traffic in Shanghai will end up between $3 and $4 USD, while a 10 minute cab ride in Hong Kong will end up around $8 – $10 USD. Same thing for subways – Shanghai goes from $0.30 to $0.60 cents, while Hong Kong starts at $0.33 but can easily go above $2.00 USD with a few stops.
The only – and I repeat only way this makes sense is if you’re purely looking at imported goods, like a USDA Prime rib eye might cost $10/pound in HK and it’d cost $15 in Shanghai, so that were the case they wouldn’t be wrong, they’d just have dumb methodology.
tl:dr – There’s no way Shanghai is more expensive than HK. If that were the case, I’d move back to Hong Kong in an instant. Things that work. Rule of law. cleaner air. Nicer Less rude street manners. No spitting.
and HK has, literally, tons upon tons of hair gel!
