Gender: F Meaning of Ophelia: "help" Origin of Ophelia: Greek

Ophelia is a beautiful name that has long been hampered by the stigma of Hamlet's tragic heroine--for whom he seems to have invented the name-- but more and more parents are beginning to put that association aside. There is also a gutsy Ophelia in Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 Uncle Tom's Cabin, which seems to have had some influence on baby namers at the time.

Off the list since 1958, Ophelia once ranked as high as Number 236. Among the actresses who have played modern non-Shakespearean Ophelias are Jamie Lee Curtis and Blake Lively. The heroine of the film Pan's Labyrinth used the Spanish spelling, Ofelia.

Actress Patricia Neal and author Roald Dahl named one of their now grown daughters Ophelia, and more recently musician Dave Grohl named his baby girl Ophelia Saint.

    Lightbulb Help with beautiful, evocative combos

    I was just reading through some other recent threads and some of you were coming up with amazing names and I would love it if I could have some help on mine, because I'm stuck!!

    I need some beautiful combos for my girls' list. Preferably two middles, although one would be fine. Also, suggestions would be wonderful

    Saskia - To me, Saskia is vibrant, lively and artsy. It reminds me of tropical flowers with hues of bright orange, pink and blue, and it just shines in my mind. I imagine a girl named Saskia to be tall with very dark hair and eyes, and she'd be creative and artistic, into things like music, photography and design. The name seems very crisp and defined to me, so in my mind Saskia is headstrong, intelligent and straightforward, but it also exudes a lovely, glowy warmth, and I'd like her middles to reflect those qualities.

    Bronwen - Bronwen makes me think of a fantasy ice queen, cutting a regal figure against a backdrop of crisp, freshly fallen snow. I see a Bronwen with very dark hair also, but she is less outgoing. She has an understated beauty and an air of quiet confidence, perhaps coming across a little cold at first but once you get to know her, she is warm and enveloping, like hot chocolate in the winter. I think at least one of her middles could reflect the warmth to contrast the wintery feel Bronwen gives off at first (to me, at least ).

    Aurelia - I see a girl named Aurelia as mostly keeping herself to herself - she is intelligent, bookish, and she knows what she wants and quietly goes about getting it. She has a slightly quirky, fun personality, and she is good at drawing and painting, although not many people would know that because she comes across as rather shy sometimes. I picture her with either blondeish or red hair, pale skin and dark eyes. The name feels very warm to me, like being bathed in sunlight - so I would imagine an Aurelia as having a similar air to that, able to light up a room without even realising it.

    I don't even know if any of that makes sense, but I'm hoping at least some of it does. :???:

    Some middles I have toyed around with are:

    But none of them seem to fit. So, help!!

    Livia, sixteen.

Meaning & Origins

Of Australian origin, said to represent an Aboriginal term for the boomerang. However, it seems more likely that the name is an invention, influenced by Kyle and Kelly. It has been very popular in Australia and, in part due to the Australian singer Kylie Minogue (b. 1968), has also acquired currency in Britain and elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Danzō Shimura (志村ダンゾウ, Shimura Danzō) is episode 211 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Seeing he has one Sharingan left, Danzō clashes with Sasuke. However, after being stabbed, he realises that Sasuke had used a genjutsu to make it seem as though he had one more Sharingan to use for Izanagi. In a last attempt to defeat Sasuke, Danzō activates Shisui's Sharingan and takes Karin hostage. Sasuke then ruthlessly pierces Karin with his Chidori Sharp Spear in order to kill Danzō as well. As Danzō tries to escape, Tobi appears and informs him that he wishes to take Shisui's eye. Danzō then has a flashback of his life and his rivalry with Hiruzen. In a final attempt to defeat Tobi and Sasuke, Danzō tries to seal the two within him, but they both manage to get away enough to survive.

Six Paths Technique

The Six Paths of Pain (ペイン六道, Pein Rikudō) is an Outer Path technique devised by Nagato after being crippled by Hanzō and rendered emaciated from the numerous chakra receivers embedded in his back by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. By piercing corpses with chakra receivers, a wielder of the Rinnegan can manipulate the bodies as though they are their own.

As Pain, Nagato mainly used the Deva Path in presenting himself to the Akatsuki, while using it along with the others in battle. Though he controlled the bodies as extensions of his will, Nagato still saw his vessels as separate individuals from himself.[1] Obito Uchiha would later adopt this fighting style and create his own Six Paths of Pain during the Fourth Shinobi World War using the reincarnated jinchūriki.[2]

Nagato Chakra

Nagato transmitting his chakra to the Six Paths of Pain.

Each of the six bodies used for the technique are pierced with chakra receivers, which allow the user to transmit chakra to them from afar. Nagato, who used corpses as his Six Paths, transmitted chakra to them from the large black rods protruding from his back. Tobi seemingly did not need to implant the receivers into his body as his Paths were reincarnated individuals. The chakra being transmitted is then picked up by the chakra receivers that each body possesses, which can be fashioned into body piercings or completely hidden from view. To make full use of the bodies, the user would ideally control them from the highest and closest point possible, so that they could have the best possible range.[3] With Nagato's usage of the Six Paths, certain techniques, such as Chibaku Tensei, were only available for use through the bodies when they were within a certain range of him.[4] He was also able to increase the power of one of the Six Paths by focusing solely on it, although this would leave the others vulnerable and slow to recover.[5] Another downside to this method is the amount of preparation needed beforehand, such as moving Nagato's real body into a high altitude but secure location in a foreign land if he needs to move outside of Amekagure. Inoichi Yamanaka compared this technique to the Yamanaka clan's unique Mind Body Switch Technique, albeit on a greater scale.[3]

Nagato's Paths

Six Paths Pain

Nagato's Six Paths of Pain (with a new Animal Path).

Because of the fact that he was crippled, Nagato channelled the abilities of the Six Paths into six different bodies (one ability per body). The common features shared by these bodies were the Rinnegan they gained from this technique, the chakra receivers each were pierced with, their fair skin tone, and the colour of their bright orange hair, which had been dyed to match the Deva Path's natural hair colour. Each body seemed to serve a specific purpose in battle, such as summoning, repair, and defence, rendering them open in other areas. This did not hold true for the Deva Path, however, which was imbued with several capabilities. Each Path, with the possible exception of the second Animal Path, was in some way affiliated with Jiraiya when they were alive.

Rinnegan Eyes

Pain's Rinnegan, a common characteristic of all six Pains.

When the Paths were active together in battle, Nagato was able to see through their eyes, thus registering six separate fields of vision at the same time. Essentially working as shared vision for the Paths, this allowed Nagato to coordinate their attacks and to provide defence for them without a blind spot. His vision was also linked with the King of Hell and the creatures summoned by the Animal Path. Although they were limited to only one of the Rinnegan's Six Paths techniques, as well as its ability to see chakra, all of the Paths demonstrated incredible speed, strength and the ability to create chakra receivers, which were used to incapacitate opponents. The Paths were strongest when together, using combination tactics and the element of surprise to defeat their enemies; both Jiraiya and Kakashi fell victim to this technique. In the anime, it was shown that the Paths do not feel pain, and have cold skin. When the Paths were lined up in formation, the Deva Path was always in the centre, while the Naraka Path stayed in the back. This was to protect it, so it could revive the others who had fallen. However, his technique, although powerful, had a flaw: each of the Paths had a primary function or ability. With prior knowledge about the technique and each Paths' abilities, one stood a better chance of defeating them, as witnessed in Pain's battle against Naruto.

Pein's Body Room

The room where the bodies are kept.

When not in use, the bodies were stored in a hidden chamber within Amegakure's tallest tower. Within the room are six "pods", in which the bodies rested; each pod is connected to the wall via pipes or wires, and has a sliding cover that appears to feature the symbol of Amegakure, which conceals the face of the inactive body. The pods are also numbered from one through six using daiji characters, and are ordered counter-clockwise around the room with a numbering scheme that corresponds with the ordering of the six Buddhist Paths of Reincarnation:

  • 壱 (1) - Deva Path.
  • 弐 (2) - Asura Path.
  • 参 (3) - Human Path.
  • 四 (4) - Animal Path.
  • 五 (5) - Preta Path.
  • 六 (6) - Naraka Path.

Main article: Outer Path

The Outer Path (外道, Gedō) is the seventh path, an ability granted to the wielder of the Rinnegan. With the Outer Path, the user is able to revive the dead, transmit chakra to receivers, as well as manifest chakra chains.

Obito's Paths

Obito's Paths Transform

Obito's Six Paths in partial transformations.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito Uchiha created his own version of this technique, utilising the six reincarnated jinchūriki. He customised them to fit his own taste, giving them each a Rinnegan and Sharingan in place of their left and right eyes respectively, mimicking those of his own.[7] Unlike Nagato, Obito controlled his Six Paths using just a single chakra receiver embedded into the left side of each of their chests, which were hidden from view. He was also able to transmit chakra to his Six Paths without being pierced by chakra receivers as Nagato was.

Each of the reincarnated jinchūriki could use the abilities they had during their life, such as Rōshi's Lava Release and Utakata's Soap Bubble Ninjutsu. However, thanks to Obito's augmentations, their skills were increased to beyond what they ordinarily were.[8] With the Sharingan, they could now see through the most minute details of enemy movements, allowing for more precise attacks, and using the shared field of vision granted by the Outer Path of the Rinnegan, the user could coordinate these enhanced attacks in the most effective way possible.[9]

Biju full transformation

Obito forcing the jinchūriki into their full tailed beast forms.

The jinchūriki also had their respective tailed beasts temporarily resealed within them using the chakra receivers, while the beasts' chakra still remained under Obito's control through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.[10] Although Obito could force the jinchūriki to transform into their full tailed beasts, a large amount of chakra was required to fully control the beasts, significantly increasing the risk of them subverting his commands.[11] As a consequence of this, coupled with the fact that the abilities and their weaknesses were already known to his opponents, Obito did not have his Paths use the abilities of the Six Paths Technique.[12]

Based upon the six Buddhist Paths of Reincarnation, each body was named after one of the different Paths: Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta, and Naraka. Each of these Paths, or realms, represents one of the realms a being is reborn into after death, determined by the accumulated karma of their past lives. While the two lower Paths, Preta and Naraka, are hellish, and the two higher Paths, Deva and Asura, are heavenly, all six are considered to be Paths of suffering because they perpetuate the cycle of Reincarnation; the only way to break it and ascend to a higher state of existence is to attain enlightenment.

  • Despite Nagato being a sensor, none of the Six Paths he created seemed to share this ability; even the Deva Path, which was the only Path through whom Nagato used techniques unrelated to its abilities.
  • All of Nagato's Six Paths of Pain, except the second Animal Path, had interacted with Jiraiya during his journey, while they were still alive.
  • All of Nagato's Six Paths of Pain had the same hair colour as Yahiko, except for his Asura Path, which was bald.
  • In the anime, Nagato's Six Paths spoke in Yahiko's voice. However, Nagato's second Animal Path spoke with its own voice, due to the body being female.
  • Three of Nagato's Six Paths of Pain are playable in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3, while the other three appear as support characters. All six are able to appear simultaneously in three-versus-one match-ups. The playable ones are Deva, Asura and Animal, the ones whose primary function is battle, rather than support.
  • It appears it could be possible for Nagato to channel the Six Paths abilities into his other bodies that are representing a specific Path. In Shippūden episode 376, Nagato summoned the King of Hell through the Deva Path body. However, the events of that episode were not canon.
  • Using the body of Yahiko as his Deva Path, Nagato also holds the body in higher regard than the others, as he unhesitatingly sacrificed others to prevent Yahiko's body from being damaged, whereas the other bodies can be restored so long as the Naraka Path remains.

Special Report: U.S. cables detail Saudi royal famil's lavish lifestyles

By Simon Robinson, Reuters,  Feb 28, 2011

LONDON (Reuters) - When Saudi King Abdullah arrived home last week, he came bearing gifts: handouts worth $37 billion, apparently intended to placate Saudis of modest means and insulate the world's biggest oil exporter from the wave of protest sweeping the Arab world.

But some of the biggest handouts over the past two decades have gone to his own extended family, according to unpublished American diplomatic cables dating back to 1996.

The cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and reviewed by Reuters, provide remarkable insight into how much the vast royal welfare program has cost the country -- not just financially but in terms of undermining social cohesion.

Besides the huge monthly stipends that every Saudi royal receives, the cables detail various money-making schemes some royals have used to finance their lavish lifestyles over the years. Among them: siphoning off money from "off-budget" programs controlled by senior princes, sponsoring expatriate workers who then pay a small monthly fee to their royal patron and, simply, "borrowing from the banks, and not paying them back."

As long ago as 1996, U.S. officials noted that such unrestrained behavior could fuel a backlash against the Saudi elite. In the assessment of the U.S. embassy in Riyadh in a cable from that year, "of the priority issues the country faces, getting a grip on royal family excesses is at the top."

A 2007 cable showed that King Abdullah has made changes since taking the throne six years ago, but recent turmoil in the Middle East underlines the deep-seated resentment about economic disparities and corruption in the region.

A Saudi government spokesman contacted by Reuters declined to comment.

LAHORE  - Speakers at a policy dialogue titled “English language in Pakistan today: class, the workplace and the shift in language use” stressed the need for consistency in education policy to get better results.
The dialogue was organised by British Council here at a local hotel on Wednesday. British Council Director English Mussarrat Mashhadi presented the results of a research conducted by the council on the English teaching.
The focus of this policy dialogue was to engage educationists and language experts in an interactive discussion that would generate ideas and recommendations to feed into a more effective language policy.
The research shows that Pakistan is a country where English teaching is unevenly distributed and very much class based. People who can afford to go to private institutions have access to better learning material, authentic learning environments and well trained teachers which all encourage better English. In comparison poor and lower income families who do not have the means to send their children to these private expensive schools.
It says the existence of pseudo English medium schools is rampant in the society. These claim to have English as a medium of instruction but the entire conversation and communication between the students and the teachers is in Urdu. English is not taught as a language but rather as a subject, confined to the 40-minute English class sessions.
The urban-rural divide in the standard of English teaching is very wide. People in urban settings have much more choice and better quality of teaching and learning facilities available as compared to the rural areas.  Interestingly, according to the research, 75 percent male teachers in public schools and 86 per cent male teachers in private schools say that English should be the medium of education; whereas 83 per cent female teachers in public schools and 89 percent in private schools say the same.
The dialogue offered rich and purposeful discussions on a range of issues through keynote speeches, panel discussions, round table discussions and provided an opportunity to offer opinions and recommendations; bringing together professionals from the education, media and economic sectors.
Themes discussed at the policy dialogue included a debate on ‘Whose English is it anyway?’, Exploring how English is used in advertising through the subtle shifts from concepts in English to copy in Urdu, whether English would as important today if Pakistan as an innovative manufacturing base and other relevant topics.
Talking to The Nation British Council Director Programmes Tony Jones said exposure for a foreign language was good for children and multilingualism was common in humans. He said that British Council was keen to raise the standards of English teaching in Pakistan. He said other than Punjab government, they were working with KPK government for the purpose. Furthermore, he said they would also be working with Sindh government soon for uplift of English teaching standards in the province.
Tony said: “Being in Lahore to discuss the English language in Pakistan with local experts has been a fascinating experience. May the debate and all conversations continue”. A survey presented on the occasion shows that acceptability of English is growing in Pakistan as the users of English language are also growing.
Lahore School of Economics Prof Dr Shahid Sidduiqe said that no language was weak or strong but it was socio economic factor which make any language weak or strong. He said language was not only reflection that what was going on in society but it was considered as life chance – education life chance, social life chance.
Addressing the audience, Beacon House National University Dean of Department of Education Dr Tariq Rehman said that “The best policy for medium of instruction is to teach small children in their mother tongue. The policy must be for all and not just for government institutions”.

Native American Shelter
Facebook Comments

Picture 1 of 11

A wigwam or wickiup is a domed room dwelling used by certain Native American tribes. The term wickiup is generally used to label these kinds of dwellings in American Southwest and West. Wigwam is usually applied to these structures in the American Northeast. The use of these terms by non-Native Americans is somewhat arbitrary and can refer to many distinct types of Native American structures regardless of location or cultural group. The wigwam is not to be confused with the Native Plains tipi which has a very different construction, structure, and use.

The domed, round shelter is used by many different Native American cultures. The curved surfaces make it an ideal shelter for all kinds of conditions.

These structures are formed with a frame of arched poles, most often wooden, which are covered with some sort of roofing material. Details of construction vary with the culture and local availability of materials. Some of the roofing materials used include grass, brush, bark, rushes, mats, reeds, hides or cloth.

Mentor helped teen realize his hoops dreams

Posted: August 29, 2012 - 10:55am  |  Updated: August 29, 2012 - 10:57am

Boston Young left Saturday for an opportunity that two years ago he didn’t think would come.

A family situation led Young to live with his sister in Aiken after his sophomore year at North Augusta High.

“Since then, my life has changed,” he said. “I have really been blessed with a lot of opportunities.”

The basketball standout tried to play for his new school, Midland Valley High, but because his sister wasn’t his legal guardian, rules prevented him from playing for the Mustangs.

Young was left as a junior and senior wondering how he was going to be scouted to play for a college when he couldn’t play high school basketball in two of the most critical years to be seen.

But doors opened, and the Class of 2012 graduate packed his bags Saturday to leave for Erskine College in Due West, S.C. He won’t be able to play basketball his first year, but he will join the team as a walk-on as a sophomore.

The 19-year-old said he ran into Tim Butler in February and Butler started to help him figure out what the next step would be in his life. Butler mentored Young at North Augusta Middle through the Men Being Accountable program and knew him from Mt. Transfiguration Baptist Church.

Butler tried to get him on the basketball team at Paine College, but the Lions did not have any scholarships available. Young said he planned to go anyway and try to walk on, but then Brandon Moses, the coach of his AAU team, the Aiken Warriors, came through with the Erskine opportunity. Moses had played basketball for the college.

“I worked out for them one time,” said Young, explaining how Erskine was able to see him play.

The 6-4, 185-pound shooting guard/small forward said he has an academic scholarship and plans to major in athletic training.

The Men Being Accoun-table program has been at North Augusta Middle for six years, Butler said. Mentors with the program have helped Young with items for college such as a book bag and dormitory supplies.

“I wanted to show him that he has a support group and let him know that he has to be accountable,” Butler said. “He is a kid who always wanted to play (basketball), always been a skill player, just needed the opportunity.”

Butler said he hopes the story of Young still finding a way to make his dream come true will inspire others to not give up on their dreams.

Interested in becoming a mentor or volunteer with the Men Being Accountable or Diamonds in the Rough programs at North Augusta Middle School? Call Tim Butler at (803) 292-6168.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Posted on: July 5, 2010 8:00 pm
Edited on: July 5, 2010 8:16 pm
Now that the signing of Amar'e Stoudemire by the Knicks has been agreed upon (though it can't be finalized until Thursday), we have to look at several angles. But how Stoudemire will fit on the Knicks is a question that has yet to be answered, because there are other max free agents in play for the Knicks. We can't look at the impact for Amar'e without knowing who could really be playing next to him (KB has some info on a possible sign-and-trade for a Knicks point guard ).

But what we can look at is if the Knicks made the right decision, committing close to $100 million towards Stoudemire. Amar'e comes with tremendous explosiveness and top-level scoring ability. But he also comes with significant questions as to whether he can play elite level defense, or even acceptable defense, and if he's a good enough player when he's not on offense. So the question is, would the Knicks have been better off if they'd managed to get Chris Bosh?

I took a look at the numbers on each player defensively via Synergy Sports . Synergy Sports tracks every moment of every NBA game and brings you an in-depth look, possession by possession, on how players do not only overall, but in certain situations. For example, their key stat is PPP, points-per-possession. It factors how many points are scored with a player as the primary defender, and then divides by the number of instances a player was in that certain play scenario. It factors turnovers, free throws, and points to bring you how many points per each possession a player gave up overall, and in certain possessions.

I looked at four specific play types breakdowns for Bosh and Amar'e in comparison: overall, pick-and-roll man (guarding the player providing the pick and rolling (as opposed to the ball-handler), isolation (pretty simple, one-on-one defense), in the post, and spot-up (off a pass in a catch-and-shoot situation). The results were pretty surprising.

Play Type Amar'e PPP Bosh PPP
Overall .86 .89
Pick-and-roll man .76 1.13
ISO .95 .65
Post-up .89 .84
Spot-up .84 1.03

Right off the bat, Amar'e Stoudemire allowed fewer points per possession last season than Bosh did. The first thing that you'll say is that the Raptors' defense was a crime against basketball. And you're absolutely right. It's certain that Bosh's defense was impacted by how terrible the rest of his team defended.  But the individual play types are kind of startling in terms of where he was good and where he was bad. The same can be said for Stoudemire. Pick and roll being the biggest alarm bell if you're a team out there still looking at Bosh as your signature big. Stoudemire, despite being known as a terrible help defender, was ranked 18th in the league overall as a pick and roll defender, one of the more complex defensive sets requiring combination and knowledge of where your teammates are.

But Stoudemire certainly struggled in ISO situations. If you put him straight up on a player, he gave up .96 points per possession, a far cry from Bosh's .65. And there were nearly twice as many instances of ISO defense versus pick-and-roll man situations. At the same time, help defense is something you can account for, and switching assignments is something Mike D'Antoni can do to alleviate a situation where Amar'e is getting taken repeatedly straight up.

How about the post-up numbers? I had anticipated a huge advantage for Bosh in this area, with a more physical reputation and Amar'e's notorious softness. Yet Amar'e is still allowing less than .89 in the post, and Bosh is at .84. A difference of .05 points per possessions? Not exactly what I would have expected.

Finally, spot-up, which deals with recovery, is probably the most affected by the Raptors' terrible defense. Bosh was repeatedly having to overcompensate to help his teammates, meaning his man was open for jumpers as he tried to cover too much defense to recover. It's a terrible mark for Bosh at 1.03 while .84 is reasonable for Stoudemire.

The big takeaway here is that Bosh is a better defender, no doubt. But the separation is not one where you would feel the Knicks made a horrific mistake in getting Stoudemire. Stoudemire's defensive numbers match up favorably with Bosh, both play in high-possession systems last year, and both have issues in various defensive sets.

Many will claim that the Knicks got the rough end of this choice between Bosh and Amar'e. But if the evidence from last year is any indication, the Knicks may have gotten a better deal than the consensus believes.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Amare is heralded as this FA class' most coveted big man.  I cannot believe any bball 'enthusiasts' agree, this isn't 2004-05.

If ur not 20 and 10 ur not a dominating big.   (He avergaed 6 Rebounds, 6!)

He doesn't rebound or play defense and has never suited up without the greatest point gaurd of the decade in Steve Wonder.

Bosh played in a primarily offensive system and has always cleaned the glass.

Amare should call and Marion to see how life went after taking Mr Granite for grantite, not so well individual stat-wise.
(although those situations were entirely different)

Bottom line might just make the playoffs with STAT, but if they dont land a supremely talented PG then good luck.

If my beloved  are pursuing a realistic PF right now I can, with all sincerity, say I hope it is .

Amare will get eaten alive by the NY media when then realize D Lee had better numbers the previous year.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

The thing that is interesting to me through all of this is that everyone talks about how overrated D Lee is because he played for the Knicks and they had no one else to do anything up front and thus, someone had to do it and his numbers are over-inflated because of it. That he wouldn't put anywhere near those numbers up on a team with other quality players.

No one talks about Bosh this way... Yet this is why I think he too is overrated! Who else did anything in Toronto last year? Hedo was a total bust. Bargnani was a nice surprise, and another big up front with him, yet his defensive numbers being one of 2 trees upfront, were still not great on a terrible defensive team.

People keep talking about Amare's numbers being better because he played with Nash and other solid players, but use the opposite argument when talking about Bosh. If you switch their teams, does Bosh suddenly get railed on too that he's only good b/c Nash was feeding him the ball? Did Nash ever finish for Amare?

D Lee gets ragged on for being overrated, again as I said before. But he hammered the pick'n'roll with the likes of Chris Duhon and T Douglass getting him the ball, the same T Douglass who is now Amare's PG. Its the system, that system made Nash. No one seems to remember that. He was a great PG before the D'antoni system, a superstar after. The system is still run there. Go look at Nash's numbers when Porter ran the show, not so hot at all.

Amare knows the system, smart player or not. Its all he's played in. D'Antoni can get any PG to play it and he now has a better finisher than he had in D Lee.

Yes defense wins championships, but this notion that Bosh is so much better than Stouds is absurd. What has Bosh ever done? Has he won a playoff game? Is he that much better than D Lee? His numbers don't say so. His playoff wins don't say so. Amare was the best PF available in this class, Bosh is the overrated one.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

It remains to be seen, doesn't it?  Past performance is no guarantee of of future performance.  Amare Stoudemire is a step in the right least.  Chris Bosh may be more physically gifted but he is an immature fool.  He can keep his tweets and go somewhere else now.  When I look at him, listen to him, and watch him play, I can't help but think he would only have been a larger version of Latrell Sprewell.

If Stoudemire can help reel in LeBron James then he will be worth the gamble.  Though, I've said before that I expect James to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dwyane Wade to stay with the Miami Heat.  The Knicks should focus on getting a mid-level player to help run the point this year, and a mid-level player to block shots.  Next year, they'll have enough cash to get another max free agent such as Carmelo Anthony.  Or, they could do a sign and trade for Anthony with the Denver Nuggets this year and contend for the title immediately.  After that, I don't give a damn where the "King" is playing.  The championships will have to go through New York.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Bosh is definitely the less athletic but more intelligent and skilled player.  Steve Nash and D'Antoni have both in the past said Amare has a hard time learning certain plays.  His stupid1ty increased when he was on a New York radio show calling out Bosh and claiming he was a better player then him

The sad part is, if the Knicks don't get James, or Wade, Amare k1lled any option for Chris Bosh to add as his front court teammate.  Maybe Amare should just figure out that he's a complimentary player in any signing and just really shut his stup1d f2cken mouth until all the availeable free agents get signed.

The funny part is his signing wasn't even official and he's showing everyone in New York he's a loud mouth cancer.  Knick fans have a lot to look foward to.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

I guess the thing you didn't do, because you're probably a New York writer trying to pacify the troops, would be take the differences in defense, open that up into points allowed per game for both, then take last years Knicks games and figure out how many more games the Knicks would have won with Bosh instead of Stoudemire. I notice you're already following the spots announcing manuals calling Stoudamire by his first name, and Bosh by his surname.
Many will claim that the Knicks got the rough end of this choice between Bosh and Amar'e. But if the evidence from last year is any indication, the Knicks may have gotten a better deal than the consensus believes.They also may have bought themselves 5 additional losses and lost a shot at the playoffs. Balance my friend, balance.

 CBS sportsline is a national institution. New York is not the home team. If I want biased self centered reporting I'll read the Toronto papers. I expect better from Sportsline

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Interesting analysis. I have to agree with Moore that the post-up defensive numbers are far closer than expected. As one who has not had the opportunity to see Bosh as much as I would like, I am reduced to relying on the chattering class and the consensus has been that Chris Bosh is far superior to Amar'e Stoudamire in post-up defense. I have seen Stoudamire on numerous occasions and I would have to say that he is a terrible man defender on most occasions I have seen him play. Whereas Bosh has the rep of being a good defender. But the numbers show a far closer comparison, although as other commenters have noted, Bosh is often forced to defend smalls, bigs and other mismatches that Stoudamire never has to contend with, which affects his numbers.

As far as the two categories where Stoudamire has far better numbers than Bosh, I would argue that both are heavily affected by the Raptors' pathetic team defense. In pick-and-roll, the defenders must work together, but since Bosh's teammates were so horrible, he may have often been forced into situations where he was trying to defend two players because his teammates wouldn't or couldn't help. And if he were forced into these situations, then of course his numbers would be affected. Moore has already made the point about spot-up, which is also an area where Bosh's teammates were dragging down his numbers because he was forced to cover too much ground to recover.

So my take-away is pretty simple. Stoudamire is a pathetic man-on-man defender. And Phoenix was one of the better teams at defending the pick-and-roll, due to the help defense provided by guys like Hill - one of the few Suns who is a good defender. So I would say that Stoudamire's good numbers against the pick-and-roll are probably buoyed by his teammates, just as Bosh's are probably dragged down by his teammates. On a different (and proabbly worse) team, would Stoudamire's numbers against the pick-and-roll still be as impressive. it says here they will not. On the other hand, if Bosh is on a better team, would his numbers against the pick-and-roll improve with better teammates. I would bet the answer is yes.

Team defense, as Moore noted, is something that is affected by many factors and both Bosh and Stoudamire will be affected by their new teams. In Stoudamire's case, he is going from a team that was under-rated defensively (yes, I know Nash and Stoudamire are both horrible defenders, but they had a team defensive scheme that mostly managed to hide their worst deficiencies. In New York, those scheme will not exist, as d'Antoni, for all his offensive brilliance, can't coach defense to save his life. Bosh on the other hand will be going to a team that is almost certainly better than the Raptors and so he will naturally be helped by this.

Ultimately, the true mark of a great defender is how he performs when he is guarding another guy one-on-one. And here is where the stats don't lie. Even though Bosh was often asked to step out and guard guys he wasn't really suite to guard (much like Duncan guarded all five positions in his early years), he still gave up only .65 points per shot in ISO situations. Whereas Stoudamire gave up almost a point per shot. Huge difference, and this is why I think that regardless of what these numbers may say, Stoudamire is not anywhere near Bosh's class as a defender. But Moore provided some excellent analysis and I appreciate the research - it certainly got my thought processes churning!

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Bosh is a far better player still. Stats may not show it, but Stoudemire has the benefit of playing with Nash. If you watch enough Raptors and Suns games, Stoudemire has the benefit of Nash making plays for him involving pick and rolls with stoudemire going against smaller defenders in those situations. Bosh is also double teamed a lot more than Stoudemire. And though Amare had a higher shooting percentage, Bosh is a much better jump shooter. And a better rebounder. And a slightly better defender. Forget the stupid PPP stats listed here, just watch both of them play.

That being said, the Knicks may not regret choosing Stoudemire as their first big FA signing. If they manage to get Lebron, a playmaker himself, maybe Stoudemire will still benefit greatly from Lebron's passing abilities and the fact that Stoudemire may be open a lot more than he was in Phoenix.

Did the Knicks win in Amar'e vs. Bosh?

Great post.

The trick is to blend stats--which can demystify idle chatter--with naunced assessment of total situations in which stats are generated.

Stoudemire, defensively, might be better suited to Knicks under D'Antoni than Bosh, at least during the season--with their pace, he won't face so much ISO.  However, in the playoffs, that kind of tenacious man D is crucial--both the Lakers and Celtics were simply outstanding in that department.

Bottom line: neither Bosh nor Stoudimire can key a championship tea--the D has to be guilt out from other guys.  That may well go for LeBron as well.

Fact is, Knicks would do well to get Boozer, and toughen up that frontcourt.

MBA Prep program helps Latinos achieve the American dream

When 20-year-old Oscar Rodriguez left Colombia for New York in 2000 – by himself – he didn’t speak a word of English.

But for Rodriguez and many other immigrants, the promise of the American dream was enough. “I was motivated by the notion that the U.S. offers opportunities if you are willing to work hard,” he says.

However his peers thought his dream of going to college and working at a top U.S. company was unrealistic. “They’d tell me, ‘there’s no way you’re going to get into a top business school; you’re crazy!’”

Rodriguez noticed an epidemic of low expectation: “It’s hard coming into this country, adapting, and learning a new language. For many of the Latinos around me, the American Dream meant getting a decent job, making $400 a week at a restaurant or construction site, and then sending the money home.”

To Rodriguez, that was an okay way to make it. But he thought it could mean more. He wanted more.

Rodriguez learned English and worked two jobs to put himself through college at Borough Manhattan Community College. After graduating with his degree in computer science, he got a job as a software developer in the financial industry.

And that is where he learned about the organization he credits for making his American Dream come true: Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), a career development program for minorities.

A co-worker told Rodriguez about the MBA prep program, but he was initially unsure. “I had been thinking about the idea of pursuing an MBA, but I wasn’t really convinced about my potential to apply to the top schools in the U.S.,” he says.

Rodriguez immediately recognized that familiar doubt. “I think this kind of doubt is common among first generation immigrants. We perceive there is no way we could ever get in to an ivy league or top business school, so we don’t even try,” he explains.

This doubt of professional success is very real for minorities. According to the MLT website  “although comprising nearly 30 percent of the US population, African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans comprise only 3 percent of senior leaders in corporations, non-profits and entrepreneurial ventures.”

Catherine Carrington, MLT Chief of Staff, explains that MLT Founder John Rice “built MLT to help young professionals gain access to the best opportunities, specifically young minorities with tons of potential but who may not have had same access or exposure that others have had.”

Using a program model that consists of personalized coaching and seminars with top minority leaders from organizations such as Goldman Sachs, Procter & Gamble, and the Walt Disney Company, MLT’s MBA Prep alumni make up 40 percent of all minority students at Harvard Business School, Kellogg, and Wharton. The organization is funded by leading corporations and non-profits looking to recruit diverse talent, as well as a committed board and alumni base who contributes regularly. To get into the highly-competitive program, candidates must write an essay, provide letters of recommendation and take part in an interview, much like applying for business school. They must demonstrate success on the academic side and leadership experiences that indicate their future potential.

After being accepted to the MBA Prep Program, Rodriguez was accepted to some of the top business schools in the country.  He chose the Darden Graduate School of Business at the University of Virginia, where he graduated with an MBA in 2010.

Rodriguez says MLT made all the difference when it came to getting a job. “The consulting firms I interviewed with after I graduated only recruit from a very short list of schools. If you don’t go to those schools you are out of the talent pool for these types of opportunities, and I would never have gotten to Darden business school without MLT,” he adds.

Shortly after he received his MBA he became a senior consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton, one of MLT’s partners.

And in October 2012, Rodriguez accepted a job as Business Strategist for Quality Operations at Google, consulting with global teams in California, Ireland, India, Japan, and China.

Ten years later, Rodriguez clearly remembers the peers who thought his dreams were crazy. While their words of doubt still stick in his head, he speaks with the confidence of someone who’s learned that crazy dreams might be exactly what the American Dream is all about.

E-mail a one-page description of your project to Additional information and collaborative proposal requirements are detailed in Charlie's downloadable letter here: Charlie shares that his excitement and imagination around this event is sparked by two elements. "The first is the theme...the theme for NCECA 2012..."On The Edge" immediately grabbed my attention and fired up my imagination.

Bishops & Bullying

Anti-gay bullying has been much in the news since the tragic suicide of Tyler Clementi, the young man who jumped off the George Washington bridge after fellow students videotaped him having sex with another male student. They posted the video on the web and Clementi became desperate, commiting the ultimate act of desperation.

Two bishops addressed the situation, one explicitly and the other obliquely, in recent comments that flew under the radar screen.

Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson wrote a column about the incident in his diocesan newspaper, rightly noting that the students had violated Clementi's privacy in an unconscionable manner.

And, in a videoblog discussing pro-life month, Archbishop Gregory Michael Aymond of New Orleans said that teen suicide was a pro-life concern, along with poverty and homelessness. The entire video is worth watching but the relevant part is around 4:50 on the tape.

Joe Miller's Disinformation

The Washington Post has a great quote from Tea Party favorite Joe Miller about the counting of write-in ballots in Alaska.

After noting that he had closed the gap considerably with the counting of absentee ballots, Miller said that "People throughout the state are excited; they're still out there fighting to make sure their votes are counted."

Of course, Miller's goal is exactly the opposite. 41 percent of those who voted cast write-in ballots and presumably almost all of them wanted to vote for incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Miller and his lawyers will be seeking to throw out write-in ballots where the voter's intent may be clear but there might be a slight misspelling of Murkowski's name. Otherwise he loses.

To claim that he is seeking to make sure every vote counts is not gibberish. It is a lie.

Palin's Power

Former Governor Sarah Palin gave her first post-election speech last night at a fundraiser in Pennsylvania. CNN cut into its talk-show “Parker-Spitzer” to broadcast the speech live. As well, this week, Palin’s reality TV show begins. And, of course, the counting of write-in ballots in her home state of Alaska will determine if her hand-picked candidate Joe Miller will defeat Palin’s long-time nemesis Sen. Lisa Murkowski. So, we can expect to see a lot of the smiling Queen Mama Grizzly this week.

And, not just this week. Alas, all signs point to Palin seeking the presidency. Why not? She is easily the most recognizable face in the GOP ranks. She and Newt Gingrich are the only two prospective candidates that do not invite slumber. She has raised tons of money and exposure for candidates all over the country, most especially Tea Party favorites like Nikki Haley, the incoming Governor of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte, the incoming Senator in New Hampshire, two states that play a critical role in securing the GOP nomination.

Q & A: Election Thoughts From Jen Butler & John Gehring

We continue our look at the midterms with expert commentary today from Jennifer Butler and John Gehring. Jen is the Executive Director of the group Faith in Public Life and John is a Senior Writer and Outreach Coordinator for the group.

Butler & Gehring: After midterm elections that shifted the political terrain in Washington, political spin is in high gear. We believe – and the polling numbers bear out – that this election should be understood as an urgent plea from an anxious electorate hungry for bipartisan cooperation to lift the nation out of economic crisis, not a simple mandate for any partisan agenda.

Smart Move by GOP

The incoming House leaders are planning to offer a new leadership position to one of the incoming freshmen. The idea is that if they put one of the Tea Party folk at the table, it will be harder for the Tea Party to play their own game and the leadership will be more conscious of where the fault lines are in reaching their decisions.

This move is the antithesis of Speaker Pelosi's decision to stay on as minority leader. Voters want change and even if the new leadership post for a freshman proves to be only cosmetic, sometimes cosmetics work.

Q & A: Election Thoughts From Rick Garnett

Rick Garnett is a law professor at the University of Notre Dame and the driving force behind the always-thoughtful blog Mirror of Justice.

We continue to look at the midterms this week at Q & A with commentary from a variety of voices, and Professor Garnett is up first.

Rick Garnett: What do the midterm elections mean? More, I suspect, than is appreciated by those who want to chalk up (and move on from) the results as reflecting merely anger, fear, or ignorance about unemployment, deficits, and "bailouts"; less, I suspect, than is hoped (or feared) by those who suspect a thoroughgoing transformation of American politics is afoot.

The Francis Chronicles

God reveals himself to humble hearts, says pope

God reveals himself to humble and meek hearts, said Pope Francis at morning Mass.

"Many can know science, theology as well. But if they do not do this theology on their knees, that is, humbly, like the little ones, they will not understand anything. They will tell us many things, but they will not understand anything," he said Dec. 2 in his homily during the Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae where he lives.

The world will end with peace, not annihilation, Pope Francis says

Believing in eternity and in the final establishment of the kingdom of God, Christians throughout history -- starting with the disciples -- were filled with questions such as when the end will come and what will happen to the created world, Pope Francis said.

No one knows the answer to those questions, the pope said Wednesday at his weekly general audience, but Catholics are convinced that the end of time will not bring the "annihilation of the cosmos and of everything around us."

Break down isolation, stigma of autism, pope says

Pope Francis called for greater acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorders and their families to break down the "isolation" and "stigma" that burdens them.

"Everyone should be committed to promoting acceptance, encounter and solidarity through concrete support and by encouraging renewed hope," the pope said Saturday during a meeting with people with autism disorders and their families, and with 700 participants in a three-day conference on autism and related disorders, organized by the Pontifical Council for Health Care Ministry.
