What does LeBron James' backing of Tristan Thompson mean for Kevin Love? |
The unquestioned leader of the Cavaliers (and best basketball player on the planet) is LeBron James, but the breakout player for the Cavs in this year’s playoffs might be Tristan Thompson. |
Thompson, a power forward/center, was relegated to sixth man duty when Cleveland traded for Kevin Love in the offseason. But he has been a revelation in the postseason since Love was injured late in a first-round sweep of the Celtics. In the Cavs’ past seven games — all wins — Thompson is averaging a double-double while logging heavy minutes and contributing key plays late in games. |
If LeBron wants Thompson, he’ll probably get Thompson … but it’s also hard to believe there is room for all the big men the Cavs have collected. Thompson will get big money. Center Anderson Varejao, also injured this year, is due more than $9 million each of the next two seasons. The Cavs also have a team option on Timofey Mozgov, for whom they traded Denver two future first round picks (one from OKC and one from Memphis, so the picks could be decent at some point). |
So where does that leave Love? Well, he can opt out of his contract and become a free agent or he can stay with the Cavs and be paid for one more season at more than $16 million for the year. He has said he doesn’t intend to opt out, but his less-than-perfect relationship with LeBron combined with his injury and Thompson’s emergence could cause him to rethink that position. |
If Love opts out, it’s hard to imagine the Cavaliers just letting him walk after giving away Andrew Wiggins in a trade for him, but if they win a title without him … well, it gets easier to imagine life without him — particularly if life with Thompson makes more sense and is coveted by LeBron. |
Air France flights to Paris diverted over security scare. |
An Air France aircraft is seen on the tarmac at Houari Boumediene airport on the outskirts of the capital Algiers. |
Just days after the terrorist attacks in Paris, the world is still on high alert. On Tuesday evening, two Air France flights, both headed to Paris, were diverted because of reported security concerns. |
Air France Flight 65 left Los Angeles, but was diverted to Salt Lake City, Utah, according to an FAA spokesman. CNN is reporting the plane landed safely and the diversion was due to a bomb threat called in from the ground. |

Fans of the film, inspired by the film, took on the #BirdBoxChallenge, performing everyday tasks blindfolded. |
Following the release of Netflix's 'Bird Box,' the streaming service has appealed to viewers not to take part in a challenge which involves people putting blindfolds on themselves. |
The post-apocalyptic psychological thriller, directed by Susanne Bier and now streaming on the platform, sees Sandra Bullock playing a mom who wears a blindfold to avoid seeing mysterious forces that cause people to commit suicide, as she tries to save her children by leading them through dangerous terrain. |
The fans of the film, inspired by the film, took on the #BirdBoxChallenge, performing everyday tasks blindfolded. Some took it too far, ending up running close to traffic, and even accidentally causing their kids to run into walls. |
After the challenge went viral, Netflix issued a warning to viewers about Bird Box, writing, "Can't believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. We don't know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes." |
Bird Box portrays a post-apocalyptic world in which all humans have to wear blindfolds to avoid a force that possesses people and makes them kill themselves if they make eye contact. The people in the film are forced to rely on their other senses to move through the world. |
Updated at 10:45 a.m. to indicate NTTA cancellation of its plans. |
The North Texas Tollway Authority canceled plans to close all southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway between Oak Lawn Avenue and the Katy Trail this weekend. |
The connector ramp to Interstate 35E will remain open, according to the North Texas Tollway Authority. |
NTTA crews planned to replace the center barrier and resurface the pavement of the tollway just north of downtown. All lanes were also to be restriped. |
It's unclear when those repairs will take place. |
Other weekend plans on the tollway are still in motion. On the southbound side, the Walnut Hill Lane and Royal Lane entrance ramps and the Northwest Highway exit ramp will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday, and the same hours Saturday into Sunday. |
During the same periods, the northbound entrance ramp at Oak Lawn Avenue and the northbound exit ramp at Lovers Lane are scheduled to be closed. |
All areas of the tollway will reopen at 5 a.m. Sunday. |
Kerry and Bolivia: To the Right of Bush? |
The “mob violence” that drove Bolivan President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada from power last fall was a largely nonviolent campaign of strikes, road blockades, and street protests organized by labor unions, coca growers, and indigenous people to prevent Sanchez de Lozada from selling off the nation’s natural gas reserves to foreign corporations. |
Bolivia is the poorest country in Latin America, and sustainable, locally directed development of the country’s natural gas fields may be the last, best hope for the country’s indigenous majority to lift itself out of poverty. But Sanchez de Lozada, under pressure from the U.S., wanted to sell off the gas rights in order to pay off the country’s debts to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank–debts which date back to the military dictatorship of Gen. Hugo Banzer, and which were incurred without the consent of the rural poor who for the most part never saw the benefit of the “development projects” driven by the international fiananciers. Kerry is right that there was violence in Bolivia last fall–but it mostly came from the military and the police who attacked unarmed demonstrators with tear gas, batons, and live ammunition. |
The U.S. sent additional military advisors to try to help Sanchez de Lozada quell the insurrection during his last days in power. Human Rights Watch confirms that at least 59 people were killed by security forces during the demonstrations last fall, and most Bolivian human rights groups say that the actual number is much, much higher. In La Paz, some police units did reportedly side with the demonstrators and open fire on the military. |
In a talk at the School for Authentic Journalism in Cochabamba, Oscar Olivera, who helped to coordinate successful campaigns against gas privatization and water privatization, spoke of how a truly democratic leader must remain in touch with and accountable to the people. Quite a contrast to John Kerry who has spurned his party’s traditional progressive base and who never even considered meeting with the demonstrators outside the Democratic National Convention. But Olivera and the popular movements he represents have an even more important lesson for the U.S. left. |
In recent months, a part of the Bolivian left, led by Evo Morales of the Movement Toward Socialism party, has renounced street protests and road blockades and tried to earn a seat at the table in La Paz by playing by the rules of electoral politics. Morales and his supporters have taken to demonizing Olivera and others who believe in grassroots, participatory democracy, alternately accusing them of being unrealistic and of having sold out the movement. |
We would do well to heed his advice. |
The new shampoo is designed to soothe irritated, itchy skin with minimal impact. All-natural ingredients make the product safe for use on pets with sensitive skin. |
Nootie has developed a new anti-itch dog shampoo that combines the moisturizing qualities of oatmeal with the soothing properties of aloe. The new shampoo is designed to soothe irritated, itchy skin with minimal impact. All-natural ingredients make the product safe for use on pets with sensitive skin. |
"We wanted to take our popular oatmeal shampoo for dogs one step further by incorporating as many natural ingredients as possible. Adding aloe and coconut oil has increased the product's ability to moisturize and soothe irritated skin. Not to mention, the new additions make for a pleasant, tropical smell--while getting rid of typical "wet dog" odors associated with pet shampoo," said a Nootie representative. |
The shampoo is soap-free, and free from SLS and parabens. The fragrance has been designed to be pleasant, yet mellow. A representative states that the fragrance the likelihood that your pet will roll around in the mud to eliminate unnatural scents. |
"If you've ever suffered a sunburn or reaction to poison ivy, you know how much relief aloe vera can bring. It works for humans, and is safe for pets, so we thought, ‘why not?' Not to mention, studies suggest that aloe vera may have numerous other benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties," said the representative. |
Nootie has been producing their products under the guidance of veterinary experts for over thirty years to ensure pet safety. They have developed a loyal customer following by "providing the most innovative pet products on the market."

Many of their treats are formulated with ingredients designed to increase pet health, including glucosamine for joint mobility, and probiotics for quick absorption and gut health. |
While Nootie's oatmeal and aloe shampoo just recently hit the market, customers have left a number of positive reviews for Nootie's original oatmeal formulation. "Used this to treat my German Shepherd's topical allergy to a prior shampoo. Within two baths over the course of 3 weeks the dermatitis was completely gone, and she stopped itching constantly. This is now my go-to shampoo for her. Highly recommend for any dog with sensitive skin!" wrote one customer. |

Google's plan of "preventing comment spam" with the nofollow link attribute didn't work for its own webmaster blog. |
It is a bit ironic, as Google said themselves, that the Google Webmaster blog has to worry about spammy comments. If you think about it, most of the messaging about search quality, spam control and the nofollow attribute came from this blog. So for Google to admit it is removing the ability to comment on this blog is indeed ironic. |
How does one interact with Google? To be honest, commenting on the Google webmaster blog was not the best way to interact with Google. It has rarely resulted in response from a Googler. Instead, Google said if you need, you can reach out on Twitter @googlewmc or post in the Google Groups help forums. |
Did the nofollow fail Google? The nofollow link attribute was introduced back in 2005 as a way of preventing comment spam. Yes, those are the words Google used in 2005. It did not prevent comment spam, in fact, today, it is rare to see a blog that has comments enabled. Comment sections on blogs are often filled with comment spam, irrelevant content and spammy links — even if the comments section uses the nofollow link attribute and even if the comments section is not visible to Googlebot. |
Why it matters. If you are starting a blog and are thinking about enabling comments, you should think twice. It doesn’t just open up your site to being spammed, it can also result in a huge amount of time involved in having to moderate such comments. Additionally, spammy or offensive content can impact your ability to monetize your site with Google’s AdSense program. AdSense publishers and site owners are responsible for ensuring user generated content like comments are in keeping with Google’s hate speech policies. Google will remove ads from pages found in violation of those policies. |
It is a shame that spammers have ruined one of the best parts of blogs — commenting and dialogue with readers. |
I believe that the most thoughtful and comprehensive reflections marking tomorrow’s anniversary of the attack on the United States are those of Professor Charles Kesler of Claremont McKenna College and the Claremont Institute. Professor Kesler’s reflections take the form of a speech titled “Our Fighting Faith” that he delivered yesterday at a Claremont luncheon program in Washington, D.C. Professor Kesler’s speech deserves the widest possible audience on this solemn occasion. |
With Kate on holiday this week's MMO log for The Secret World isn't happening. This is sad. Luckily for everyone involved, I've been playing as well, and I am tired of people asking me what character class I rolled. That's not how it works. Here's how it does. |
For many players it's quite liberating, being freed from the bounds of a traditional class system. For others, that class system was the only thing keeping them from teetering into the mouth of madness. |
Me? I just like putting points into things. The Secret World delivers. |

PNS IQBAL is the headquarter of commander SSG(N). The commander SSG(N) is placed under the command of Commander Coastal areas. |
SSG(N) comprised of three sub commands. |
It is the main stay of SEAL group. The primary objective of this team is clandestine operation in enemys waters with out detection and Exit Trunk operation in the enemys waters. |
During the post 1965 war analysis Pakistan Navy felt the need of establishing a Special force, which could be used for covert offensive operations against enemy shore based facilities and the units at sea or in harbours. As a consequence, training volunteers for frogman / special Ops formed a new offensive arm for Pakistan Navy in 1966. Shortly after raising, the capabilities of this elite group were multiplied through the acquisition of midgets, chariots and combat/ auxiliary diving equipment. The training of volunteers selected from all branches of the Navy for Special Service Group (Navy) was conducted on the lines of British Special Boat Squadron (SBS), British Special Air Services (SAS) and US Navy SEALS. They were to be trained as frogmen, commandos, paratroopers and operators of special craft of multiple roles. During the initial years, basic training of SSG (N) was conducted at Diving School PNS HIMALYIA and the advance training at PNS IQBAL, which was commissioned on 29 March 1967 as the home of SSG (N). Since 1968, all SSG (N) training is being conducted at PNS IQBAL. |
SEAL Group participated in Counter Insurgency (CI) Ops in East Pakistan. Apart from the PN S/M, X-Craft were the only platform, which patrolled the enemys water for weeks. |
The unit has so far imparted training to friendly countries like Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Qatar , Iran and Sri Lanka . In addition it is a regular feature to conduct joint exercises with allied countries like Saudi Arabia , Turkey and Bahrain . |

Do you remember the anarchy that took over the streets of Los Angeles last summer when they closed down a stretch of the 405 and the whole city was upended into complete and uncontrollable chaos? Okay, it wasn't that bad. But it's going to happen again. |
During the partial closures, workers will remove the supporting wood structures from the newly built south side of the bridge and will adjust Mulholland Drive's alignment and elevation to meet the bridge's new approaches, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the California Department of Transportation said. |
During last summer's original Carmageddon there were fears the city would end up in mass gridlock and traffic delays would plague the city. That didn't happen. It was positively tranquil. People mostly avoided going out that weekend, opting to stay inside and watch TV or read in the comfort of their air conditioning. But they're coming back strong this year with an increased special effects budget, a new director and new edgy and "in your face" characters. It'll be so much better this time, we swear. |
