| I agree, bring Fesenko up now.
Looks like another mutany after the Price for Hart saga. Maybe Jerry just wore down from reading the message boards?
I bet he gets up at 5 am like the rest of us to see how the Jazz are doing and what move to make next. We should have lobbied harder to trade Collins, Hart and Miles for Dwight Howard. Man would we be good then.
The big story should be how the league allowed the Lakers to reload without giving up anything. Now thats the conspiracy. Bet we regret the Fisher move in the playoffs. .
Pop Go the Bubbles
The key, quite bluntly, is getting the plants in and across the desert to the Darfur region. Ed is very good at getting critical items to where they need to be in very difficult if not dangerous conditions. The stories he can tell. At the same time, Dr. Jim Laws, a cardiologist and others will be going into Chad to work in refugee camps there; bringing medicine and medical help to a very desperate situation. They will be going there several times over the year. Readers of my letter may be familiar with Walt Ratterman. I have mentioned his work in Thailand where he goes to refugee camps (mostly the minority Christian Karin tribe) along the Burma border, bringing solar power to clinics there. As one doctor said, it is hard to do an amputation by flashlight. They are now bringing in more powerful units capable of providing enough power for small medical devices, vaccine refrigeration, with power outlets that will allow them to operate a laboratory, a computer, and a surgical room that will accommodate minor surgery and cataract eye surgery.
Doris Goodwin on Obama's Borrowings
In the days since Gerald Ford's death, so much praise has been heaped on the late president's blanket pardon to his predecessor, Richard Nixon, that you'd think Tricky Dick was Jean Valjean. These magnanimous pronouncements are a preening exercise in cost-free generosity three decades after the fact. They reflect little or no consideration of the merits of the pardon itself. No new information has emerged during the past 32 years that makes Ford's pardon to Nixon look any more justifiable; indeed, what facts have dribbled forth make it seem less so. (More on these later.) Nor can the pardon plausibly be considered an example of the bipartisan spirit for which Ford is justly, if too extravagantly, praised by Washington insiders. The pardon may have had the long-term effect of tamping down partisan warfare between Democrats and Republicans over a possible criminal trial (obstruction of justice would have been the likeliest charge), but when a Republican short-circuits prosecution of a fellow Republican, you can't call that bipartisanship.
Six more locations eyed for Hawaii coffee chain
A prospective franchiser is in talks with Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii to open six locations in the Albuquerque area, a representative of the company confirmed. There is one New Mexico location, near the intersections of Highways 550 and 528 in Bernalillo, north of Albuquerque. The deal could be signed within 15 days, says the beverage firm's representative, Harold Hill, who heads up franchise sales for the chain. It costs an average of $226,000 to open a 1,500-square-foot shop in the U.S., according to the company's Web site. Drive-through windows add an additional $8,000 to that cost. .
Billable-hours choice eases rate pressure
It ended up paying a price in recruiting, Cosgrove said.
Before the most recent raise went into effect on Sept. 1, the firm polled associates and partners on some new approaches.
When it offered a choice of hours to third-years, the class of 2005, three of the nine associates chose to work 2,000 hours, Cosgrove said. Realistically, these lawyers likely will bill more than 2,100 hours, making the difference between the lower tier and higher tier significant, he added.
First-year associates still do not have a billable-hour requirement. Second-years are expected to bill at least 1,850 hours, which means about 37 hours a week, assuming a 50-week work year. To bill 37 hours a week, lawyers generally have to work about 47 to 50 hours.
BRIEFLY: James Henry, a former Cook County Circuit Court judge, joins Meckler Bulger & Tilson as "of counsel." Henry, 56, who retired from the bench in October, will focus on pretrial remedies such as mediation and arbitration.
Kandahar governor denies torture claim
There will be little difference rotating out in two years and rotating out now. 1,000 additional troops won't be sufficient to win the day and there is no reason to continue in the Khandahar province without a greater commitment from NATO overall. Our current approach (with 1,000 extra troops) is a recipe for a stalemate at best and failure at worst. Sometimes it takes more courage to know when to quit than it does to continue. Without a much greater commitment by NATO, this is one of those times. Posted 02/02/08 at 1:07 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
Reforming Selective College Admissions
So, rather than spending junior year searching for colleges, visiting colleges, testing for colleges and preparing to apply to colleges, and senior year applying to colleges, interviewing at colleges, nervously waiting to hear from colleges and recovering from applying to colleges, their child is postponing applying to college until she takes a gap year after high school. They are negotiating with the school to provide its usual level of college counseling during the gap year, so their child can concentrate on getting a fine high school education for four full years. So, what would I ask selective colleges and universities to change about the admissions process? A lot. (1) Adopt a policy that your institutions will not provide information to or cooperate in any way with the rankings done by U.S.
The hottest new cruise ships for 2008
Because mega cruise ships are homogenous in so many areas—from their multiple mall-like restaurants to the pre-fab cabins, giant playrooms and sprawling spas—cruise lines strive to differentiate themselves in any way they can. But what makes a new cruise ship ink-worthy? It's not enough to be adrenaline-pumping and ear-splitting; they need a weird factor to turn our heads. These days, many cruise lines aim to make waves—and grab market share—with outlandish gimmicks. But who says gimmicks can't be fun? Celebrity's upcoming Solstice, for instance, has a patch of grass on an upper deck for picnicking, golf putting and croquet. If that's too snoresville for you, experts lead glass-blowing demos nearby. Fluted goblets anyone? Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas has a surfing simulator that shoots out 20-mile-an-hour waves.
Rampage look to rebound with a new coach and more playmakers
This franchise dates all the way back to the AFL's first game in 1987. Over the years, this team has been the Washington Commandos, Detroit Drive, Massachusetts Marauders and now the Grand Rapids Rampage. They have struggled in the past several seasons after winning the AFL Championship in 2001, and they are trying to get back to being a playoff-caliber team. They have local ownership from Dan DeVos and they are very community-oriented, but they are in a small market, which always presents challenges. Coaches and front office Steve Thonn is the new coach and director of football operations. He comes to Grand Rapids with high expectations because of the success he had while running Georgia's offense the past three seasons. He is considered a great playcaller and a tremendous QB developer, but he will have his hands full with the Rampage.

Sonic Foundry chief upbeat
Sonic Foundry officials say sales prospects for its Mediasite products are "absolutely terrific" and the Madison company expects to break even later this year. "Our customers love our technology. We have outstanding technology; it's the best in the market," chief executive officer Rimas Buinevicius told about 75 people at Sonic Foundry's annual shareholders meeting Thursday at Monona Terrace. Colleges and universities are Sonic's primary customers, including University of Michigan, Arizona State University, Stanford and Cornell. Mediasite feeds presentations over the Internet and archives them, and that's especially useful for students juggling work and family responsibilities, too, Buinevicius said. "Students want this technology, they need it," he said. "We think there's a huge market out there." .
Facebook, a Marketer's Friend
Facebook Inc.'s social-networking site is the nerve center of Bryce Gruber's business.
