PrintWhat is your favorite kid song? Kids songs are amazing things because they avoid the irreversible damages of Alzheimer's.
She could sing every kids song on the recording she had listened to 60 years ago.
When doctors explain differences between short and long term memory, what becomes clear is that our abilities as children were special. Our brains were wired differently, and our perception was instinctive. We were powerful learning machines.
She not only remembered the lyrics to every kids song, but the melody was precisely imprinted as well, and she knew it all by heart - all the minor details, every dynamic and stylistic change. But she could not remember what she had for lunch.
There's something truly amazing about long term memory - being able to recall distinct events from one's youth with clarity. As we age, we lose many of these old recollections, but some remain with a vividness that is astonishing. And for many individuals, this long term memory is imprinted in ways that make it more durable than the short term memory of daily events in the present.
And after each kids song ended, her memory was so good that she could announce the next one, singing each in the order it appeared on the recording through all 16 songs. Yet she was unable to recognize her own daughter.
This poor woman's story has a powerful message that those of us who write for children must acknowledge. It is clear that kids' minds are special. That kids are empowered in ways that adults are not. Young children far surpass their parents in the ability to learn new languages, melodies, and other audio stimuli.
If we recognize these unique abilities of young minds, as creators of music and songs for kids, we take on some special responsibilities. We must make an effort to never underestimate the intelligence of the child. It is our duty, when creating kids songs to implant smart ideas, and to encourage discovery outside the box. Those littlle ears are taking it in and learning it cold. Perhaps 60 years or more later, they will still remember what we piped in when they were young.
So yes, it's kids songs. And these kids songs are more important than you realize. Rattling around in our brains are all those unique memories associated with melodies, implanted at a time when we were better able to handle cognitive stimuli. And when over time, we forget everything else, we'll probably still be singing some kids songs. We want them to be worth remembering.

wait, is that your fantasy football team?
how did you manage that?

Let me try and guess the pick order
AP #1
Gore #2
Ochocinco #3
Williams #4
Rivers #5
Cooley #6
McNabb #7
Graham #8
Walter #9
Defense #10
Scrubs #11-15
Kicker #16
How close was I?
345 was
Rivers
Williams
Ochocinco
other than that you were pretty close
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Is this a 10 team or a 12 team league?
This isn’t too far off of what happened in my 12 team league. The only real shocker was somebody taking Ronnie Brown #7 overall.
it just looks like a really good team.
i was wondering how you managed to get both Phillip Rivers and Adrian Peterson. Plus Gore and McNabb. I don’t know much about football, but I’m playing in my first fantasy league in years and thought that guys like Rivers and Peterson were both 1st round types. Perhaps I’m misinformed. But it seems you had a very fortuitous draft.
by DrivetheLane on Aug 31, 2009 9:04 AM PDT up reply actions
Peterson is the consensus #1 overall pick this year
QBs typically aren’t first round picks unless you think they are going to throw for 35-ish TDs
i see.
good to know. it’s been a while since i played close attention to football.

how do you not know the day you got out?
fill out 1 paper for the va and you have to write is 12 times
fire nate before its too late
It was supposed to be the 9th
Then they said, “The computers will be down for 2 weeks, you want to get out tomorrow?” I said “yes,” and haven’t looked back since. That was 1996.
too bad they still dont do that
now they would make you stay an extra 2 weeks until the computers worked again.

Happy Birthday Mortimer!
Here are some classic birthday photos I found of you in the archives—
Here’s you punching your youngest sister:
Every birthday you had a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with coconut. Your older brother is wearing a Howard the Duck shirt:
A rare pre-coconut b-day cake. Looks like you got a Darth Vader figure:
This B-day, you asked for a Lone Ranger, and got a Cowboy Ken doll. You never said anything, but you were upset because Ken is for girls. Your family thinks to this day you loved that toy.
This one is sweet because you’re wearing a RDD2 meets Wicket shirt. You wish you knew where it was, I bet:
Awkwardfamilyphotos.com
Nah, those are cute. Wonder who chose that wallpaper and carpet though.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
The 1980s chose them for us
I love how early 80’s all our family photos are. And some have this weird dreamy classic film look that ya don’t get with digital photos. Like this:
I want to duplicate the look of these photos, so I gotta learn how before I make kids.

WELL NOT REALLY JEEZ
We were extra poor right at that time, so I only had like 5 shirts to cycle through. I wore that and a Huskies shirt a lot, in pictures.
how can you wear a blazers and huskies shirt all the time? thats like wearing a alternating a yoda and sith commander shirt. good vs. evil

I never cared about Oregon/Washington rivalries
For one, I was born in Seattle but raised in Portland, and I was born while my pappy was at U-Dub.
I didn’t see it as a conflict of interest.
ya i bet most people don’t care about the oregon vs. washington rivalry. especially when broy came from udub

I bet people with ties to Oregon schools might try to care more
My youngest sis went to U of O, but traditionally in our family we just root for all Oregon schools. We don’t attach ourselves to any of ’dem.
ya i find its more fun for me to root. I’ve been a UO kid all my life. one of the reasons i don’t follow too much NFL or MLB is i have no team to root for

you have a very nice RB combo in Jackson and Johnson. Boldin is also a very good receiver… I’m a little down on Hines. Pittsburgh has a lot of options, not sure how many touches he’s going to get. Palmer is a decent FF quarterback.

there are seventeen weeks in the NFL season, but teams only play sixteen games. They get one bye week to rest.

with your kicker, you just want to drop the one you have that week and pick up a new one.
depending on how your defense is doing, you might want to do the same thing or you might want to drop one of your backups instead and keep your starting d (on your bench).
with your rb spot, you just put one of your bench people in the lineup.
you've got to find replacements for players on bye weeks
that’s what the bench is for regarding QBs, WRs and RBs, but you have to go to the waiver wire for replacement kickers and defenses. Well, you don’t have to do it that way, but few people keep backup kickers and defenses on their roster.

If you think Blazers fans are homers, Mavs fans create really exciting trade packages to acquire Stephen Jackson
On Moneyball and RealGM. If Mavs fans are concerned, GS would get really exciting players like Matt Carroll (neverending contract), Shawne Williams (head case) and Greg “The Buck” Buckner (partly-guaranteed so at least interesting to save money) in return. Woot woot. Add a second round pick and some cash for good measure. And a first round pick if we can somehow involve Monta Ellis in the deal.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
Matt Carroll’s Neverending Contract. MCNC.Done.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
And that already is an upgrade from DeSagana Diop’s Neverending Full MLE Contract (DDNFMC). That was really a bad deal. Cuban and Donnie were just angry that they had to include him in the Kidd deal and wanted him back, but paid way too much.
Could be also interesting if father and son Nelson negotiate again, while Cuban is in court with the father. That relationship didn’t end too well in Dallas. They effectively fired him just on the day of drafting Devin Harris.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
I'm not sure if it's a realistic possibility or just a rumor, but Donnie Nelson should totally jump ...
on trading Matt Carroll to the Toronto Raptors for Marcus Banks if that’s in the cards. While Banks sucks and ought to always be wearing a suit rather than a uniform when courtside, his contract is two years shorter than Carroll’s deal and, moreover, could theoretically be added to a mid-season trade whereby the Dallas Mavericks move to improve its interior depth.
For example, here’s my idea.
Step #1: Trade Matt Carroll for Marcus Banks.
Step #2: On 12/25/2009, trade Banks, Drew Gooden — whose contract is partially guaranteed for $1,900,000, but includes a 5% trade kicker — and $3,000,000 in cash considerations to the Los Angeles Clippers for Chris Kaman. Kaman would have an incoming salary of $10,400,000 plus a 15% trade kicker that’d be prorated for the 110 out of 170 days left in the NBA season at that point in time (i.e., $1,009,412), which equals $11,409,412. As it is, the maximum incoming salary that the Mavericks could absorb by trading Banks and Gooden is $4,553,793 +$4,500,000 = 9,053,793 X 125% + $100,000 =$11,417,241.
On another Mavericks related note, I expect overweight Nathan Jawai — who’s the Aussie version of Eddy Curry — will be released once James Singleton signs his one-year, $1,030,189 qualifying offer. I’m not sure why Nelson took back Jawai’s guaranteed contract instead of Quincy Douby’s non-guaranteed contract from the Toronto Raptors as a part of the Shawn Marion trade earlier this off-season, but that’s neither here nor there.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

And then pretend I photoslopped a picture of Matt Carroll riding on Falcor’s back.
As crazy as it may seem, I could see Don Nelson having Robert Rowell and Larry Riley throw in the ...
towel on Stephen Jackson by shipping him off to the Dallas Mavericks in return for a cost-cuting package of Greg Buckner’s partially guaranteed contract, Shawne Williams expiring contract, and two unprotected future first-round draft picks in 2012 and 2014—especially if Chris “Back Taxes” Cohan gets involved and demands financial relief. I’m sure Mark Cuban can add the obligatory $3,000,000 in cash considerations, too.
That’d make for a damn fine team, too, even with the minutes crunch that’d be on Rick Carlisle’s hands.
“FIRST QUARTER & THIRD QUARTER

Then again, that’d be a potential championship contender. The Mavericks would be somewhat soft in the middle, but except for that the ballclub would be stacked to the hilt with talent across the board.
Y’know, though, it’d be fun and interesting to watch such a combustible concoction in action."
http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/8/29/1006707/captain-jack-has-abandoned-ship#20447541
As was with Jamal Crawford, I don’t see the Warriors getting much in return for Jackson beyond financial relief. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, either, for the Warriors already have a glut of players at the wing positions and should clear room at the 4 for Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright.
If Jackson is moved for cap relief and future first-round draft picks, that’d leave Nelson with a rotation of Andris Biendris and Ronny Turiaf at center, Randolph and Wright at power forward, Corey Maggette and Kelenna Azubuike at small forward, and some combination of Anthony Morrow, Monta Ellis, and Stephen Curry at the guard positions.
Frankly, I’d argue the Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers should work together to create a trade whereby Maggette and Baron Davis return to their former ballclubs. Something like Davis and Al Thornton from the Clippers to the Warriors for Maggette and Craig Claxton’s expiring contract would benefit both teams.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nlfwp7
In addition, that’d free up roster space on the Clippers for Mike Dunleavy, Sr. to present Ramon Sessions with an offer sheet worth the full MLE. It’d likely go unmatched by the Milwaukee Bucks, too.

wow a lot of us are very similar
6 years ago I was exactly where AK is on this mapping but apparently 8 years of Bush has loosened my economic conservatism.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
George W. Bush wasn't a fiscal conservative, as he blew funds like a madman on interventionist ...
police actions throughout the world in foreign nations like Iraq and Afghanistan. All things considered, neoconservatism is a fiscally imprudent political philosophy; that’s noted by the tremendous national debt and trade deficits incurred during the failed Ronald Regean, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush Administrations.
There’s very few true fiscal conservatives within the Republican Party nowadays, with Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) — who’s really more of a paleolibertarian — being the most prominent one.
I, however, am not a tried-and-true fiscal conservative, for I’m a protectionist who’s against free trade agreements — as I hold a stance similar to that of Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) — and advocate instituting quotas and tarrifs on imported goods like the good ol’ days.
Also, I hold former U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel’s stance of abolishing FICA and setting up a Fair Tax Act in its place. I, moreover, believe there should be a livable minimum wage around $10 an hour federally, which is odd considering my fiscally conservative positions on things like health care, Social Security, et cetera.
Regarding health care, I believe it’s something that should be employer-based rather than funded by any level of the government. If someone is a strung-out, unemployed drug addict — or just a lazy bum such as myself who isn’t a productive member of society — then hard-working people shouldn’t have to subsidize their health care costs.
On the final topic of Social Security, it should slowly be phased out over a 20 or 25 year period. At this moment, though, the age for when people can withdraw from it should be raised to 75, with everyone under that age who’s collecting being cut off until they do reach that point in their life.
Yes, that means a lot of old people will need to go back to the workplace — or have their middle-age kids who are already in the workplace help support them — rather than coast by on the government’s teat. That’s fine by me, though.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yes. It wasn’t Dubya economic conservatism that pushed me into a more liberal viewpoint than the one you share (which is somewhat similar to your positions, except that I did not agree with any federal min wage, and I still cannot advocate nationally-centered protectionist policies) but feeling the effects of his social darwinism that has forced me to soften my previously idealized view of the world.
I do agree that Social Security needs such a major overhaul that phasing it out is probably the only answer. But I cannot support non-global health care options. I came to this conclusion during the discussions about making it harder for illegal aliens to access social services. I thought about how the “logical” slippery slope in this situation would be to start impaling the dead bodies of illegals to the sides of our hospitals and maybe on the walls at the border and spray paint “NO SERVICES” over them.
Which is why I find myself left by left now. I can no longer accept that society would deliberately not help certain individuals meet their basic needs even if they did not fiscally deserve it. Although I do feel that general welfare, like Social Security, is a horribly broken system that doesn’t even help those who need the help most efficiently.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
Yeah, the health care issue is a tough one when realizing that just letting people die is a ...
terrible, yet plausible scenario if people are denied life-saving services they can’t afford upfront in a time of need. I’m pro-immigration, too, although I believe anyone who comes to the United States should get a job and not leech off of the government’s services.
So, while I feel that many nativists are ethnocentric xenophobes, there needs to be a system in place whereby immigrants must either sustain a viable livelihood here monetarily or otherwise be deported back to their home country.
Regarding immigration, it’s another issue that I share former U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel’s opinion.
“Senator Gravel favors protecting our borders and monitoring the flow of immigrants into our country. He also favors a guest worker program and setting up naturalization procedures that would fairly bring immigrants into legal status. America must address the root cause of illegal immigration.
Any discussion of immigration must include NAFTA and the concept of free trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been a disaster for the working class of both the U.S. and Mexico and a boon to the international corporate interests. A study by the Economic Policy Institute found that over 1 million U.S. jobs were lost as a result of NAFTA, a third of them manufacturing jobs. In Mexico, 1.3 million farm workers lost their jobs in the same period. This has led to a wave of immigrants looking for work in the U.S. Reforming unfair trade policies spawned by measures like NAFTA will stimulate job growth on both sides of the border."

When I came home I zapped into an old episode of Hardcastle & McCormick from 1983 with the subtitle "Terror in Oregon"
I just googled that it was the season premiere for their last season (3), and the long title is “She Ain’t Deep But She Sure Runs Fast” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0596967/
From the last 15 minutes that I saw it had some terrible storyline and dialogue writing about hillbillies killing hunters in the woods and featured a very badly shot rafting boat chase with a guy with a rifle unable to kill the 2 stars in a boat 50 feet in front of him. Then another group came and started killing the attackers with bow and arrow. Odd. They finally decided to turn the tables and hunt down the hunters by building a fall trap. Kinda like a very early and harmless version of some modern splatter movies. But nice landscape shots from Oregon (I assume).

That is exactly my experience of growing up in Oregon. The accuracy is off the charts.

It was hard to say what was ironic and what was serious. The killbillies had also had some environmental concerns and their leader talked about acid rain and too many tourists and stuff so he had the obligation to kill some to keep Oregon weird and clean. In the final shot H&McC looked like trappers when they delivered the gangsters to the next police station. Apparently it had taken them at least 2 weeks to get out of the woods.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
When escaping Killbillies with bizarrely progressive views on environmentalism and severely retarded views on population control you should expect to be in the wilderness anywhere from two weeks to two years. That’s why I always kept plenty of beard wax on me when I lived in Portland.
Here in NYC, there are fewer killbillies, but millions of kill-happy minorities, as the entertainment industry has no doubt informed you of.

The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don't Trust Anyone Under 30)
In looking for some information about the book above I found an interesting read if your monday cup of joe needs it:
A more fundamental problem is what Bauerlein has in mind by “dumbest.” If it means “holding the least knowledge,” then he has a case. Gen Y cares less about knowing information than knowing where to find information.
That is a good point, finding and applying information will be increasingly more important than learning books “by heart”.
That the next gen is dumb and weird is a concern already documented by Babylonian scriptures on pottery. And probably felt by people before them who just had no way of transmitting that knowledge through time in writing.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
There is too much information to know. Back then they only had to really care about food, shelter, water. It is a little but more complicated now.
Besides finding information takes just a few seconds anyway. It is about the same amount of time that I can recall something from memory.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Yeah, the article brings out that it’s the job of the established adults to curse the youth, historically. Another point, is that digital media (all of which is run by adults) is rotting the brains of the youth.
Thinking analytically is the most important from my perspective. Information doesn’t mean anything if you can’t discern and dissect it. I found out about this book reading today’s NY Times. In the arts/culture section, there is a movement among school districts to allow kids to select their own books to read/write book reports—A trend of getting away from structured class discussion around classics. I’m not sure I’m a fan of this. I do think reading is an endangered past time.

Children’s songs are all creepy. Nursery rhymes even more so. My parents attest to the fact that even as a immobile baby I disliked the tinny sound of children’s songs and much preferred the crackly crooning of Neil Young and the jangly effervescence of The Monkees.
If I had to pick a favorite children’s song as an adult, I would choose “Pop Goes the Weasel,” because it is possibly the most terrifying and I love the line “The monkey thought it all was in fun.”

did you see any of Isner (the really tall American dude) knocking off the 20th seed?
that looks like it was probably a good match (two tiebreakers).
there was one late summer summer/fall ('05-- I remember because it was my last summer/fall in college)
where he was awesome in the US Open Series and got pretty far in the Open itself. That was the last time I remember watching him beat anyone decent.
He beat Federer in the Olympics (I of course was not watching that one) but then somehow still didn’t win a medal.
I missed that Olympic game too
To be honest, I only started watching tennis last year and normally don’t pay attention to it this early in a tournament. Nothing else on and it’s too warm to walk my dog.

In healthy European adult human males, average testicular volume is 18cm³ per testis, with normal size ranging from 12cm³ to 30cm³.
Measurement in the living adult is done in two basic ways:
* comparing the testicle with ellipsoids of known sizes (orchidometer).
* measuring the length, depth and width with a ruler, a pair of calipers or ultrasound imaging.
The volume is then calculated using the formula for the volume of an ellipsoid: 4/3 π × (length/2) × (width/2) × (depth/2).
how does that compare to the North American male?

Ok the junk drawer never fails me
I did some Google searches, didn’t see anything that relates…
Some might remember that Mercury chewed a hole in her tumor and bled all over. I finally got everything cleaned up by yesterday afternoon. I had a B-Day thing planned a while back and didn’t wanna make everyone sad by canceling (especially the wife… she planned a lot of stuff). I blocked Mercury in the kitchen with food and water and her bed, but didn’t drug her as I drugged her the day before and she was still so sleepy from it.
She had both the donut AND the cone on, to hope that she can’t get out of either and chew on her tumor again.
Well, the drugging wore off, and she had pushed over 2 coffee tables, 3 chairs, and a dining room table leaned up to block her in. I thought she was too weak and drugged still to do that, but she’s strong. She didn’t get out of her cone and donut, but she found a new game… rub the bandages off on the carpet until the bandages are off, and then rub the blood on the wall and carpet.
SO, a less-bad version of two nights prior. I was still cleaning until 6am again, but this time I had started at midnight and not 3pm.
In my blood cleaning adventures, I learned that while OxyClean works, no point in messing with it— just use hydrogen peroxide. Well, I used nothing but hydrogen peroxide and didn’t wear gloves. Aside from the white stuff that has washed off my hands, my fingertips BURN. Around my nails and fingertips. Not anywhere else on my hands.
So… any known solutions? Soaking in water and baking soda didn’t nuetralize. It’s not unbearable but it’s annoying.
I can wait it out.
milk?
some sort of lotion perhaps? I’m not really sure, just throwing out ideas I would try. You might look on the label of the stuff you used and see if they have any fixes for prolonged exposure to skin. good luck.

I believe Oxyclean is basically just hydrogen peroxide, but I ain’t no scientific figurer, so don’t ask me.
Why don’t you just get into your telepod, but instead of putting a fly in there, put a lizard in so you can grow your skin back after the matter transmission is complete?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
We think you're right about Oxyclean and hydrogen peroxide
A while back I had asked the junk drawer the best way to get blood out of carpet, since my right big toe that I have problems with had accidentally bled on the carpet.
Some suggested Oxyclean, some hydrogen peroxide, and some said they were the same stuff basically.
In my now extensive experience, Oxyclean DOES work but it also spreads the stain around by being so watery and foaming up. The only foam you get from hydro peroxide is the bubbling when it hits the blood. It’s cleaner and much easier to clean up. Especially these thick glops of blood Mercury would have… they’d take spray after spray of Oxyclean, plus me picking apart the blood with my fingers, for it to get everything. Hydro peroxide does it fast.
Tom mentioned it yesterday or the day before
Blood in Blood out has your answers. It has ALL your answers. It will answer questions you didn’t even know to ask.
That blood is bound by honor. Hydrogen Peroxide/Oxyclean can’t touch it. Look what happened to Billy Mays after too much Oxyclean.
You may get that blood white on the outside, but you’ll never get it white on the inside. It is blood to the BONE

Brett’s just a 3rd QB for me. I think he’ll be good early and wear down towards the end, like last year.
I think Favre will be good early on, so I thought about drafting him and then waiting for someone to emerge in Week 9 or 10 and riding them through the playoffs. Went safe with Flacco in the end, hopefully he provides a decent option at the flex.

Yao could possible play this season.
In an interview with ESPN The Magazine’s Sam Alipour, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said Yao could return at some point in the 2009-10 season and the team no longer feels his broken left foot is a career-threatening injury.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4433605
Love.
seems unfair
if he plays this season they should have to give up Ariza (who they got with the disabled player exception).
Too late, the exception and the deal were approved. I’m still a bit surprised the Blazers never filed for one for Raef and Greg as far as was made public.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
yeah, pretty strange
do they take into account the perceived value of a player? if so, it seems like the Blazers could have perhaps got one for Greg but not Raef.
anyway, I’d like to know why the Blazers didn’t go for one.
Only in the sense that the exception can be for maximum half the salary of the injured player, and for 1 replacement
There's Gotta Be More To Life
According to the Salary Cap FAQ
there has been some difficulty in getting this exemption approved by the league
Why? I have no idea.
I have a fuzzy memory that they filed for (and received) an exception after Greg had surgery
But they ended up not using it.
I feel like i read that as well

"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"

in one 12 team league, I totally forgot to draft a QB (meant to wait for a Cuter/Palmer type but then kept picking RBs and WRs)
I ended up getting Flacco off waivers. I was lucky he was still available. I’m now trying to trade some of my high upside RBs for a better QB.
When does adding and dropping players really start?
Saboner has dropped the first guy. Can you already start picking up? Also the waiver order seems to be determined like the draft order.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
Waivers should be reverse of the draft order to start… ie I drafted first, so I have last waiver claim
by The Arkitect on Aug 31, 2009 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions
adding and dropping happens now if your player gets hurt or a certain player is dominating preseason
after the first week of real games, people will go crazy trying to pick up people who did really well— sometimes foolishly dropping a good player for a one game wonder.
like the arkitect says, waivers should be reverse order of the draft, but after you get a player off waivers, you go to the end of the priority list.
The fantasy projection “fan points” seem a bit weird. I have backups ranked higher than very high picks that were recommended by ESPN and Yahoo. For now I moved Orton into my Q/W/R/T spot. I think I’ll see how the season starts, and then maybe drop one of my RBs for another player as needed.

No, he doesn’t. But if you get Robinson or Chandler and a future pick in the deal it could be worth it. And Rubio would surely like to come to NY in 2011, so the NBA would also benefit.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
The Minnesota T'wovles should offer the draft rights of Ricky Rubio to the New York Knicks ...
for three unprotected first-round future draft picks — which’d be in 2012, 2014, and 2016 — rather than attempt a convoluted sign-‘n’-trade deal for a superfluous piece in power forward David Lee.
Neither Lee nor Nate Robinson would fit on the T’wolves, while Wilson Chandler is overrated due to his inflated production last season under Mike D’Antoni. Besides, Donnie Walsh needs to use Chandler as a chip to dump Eddy Curry. As it is, I still feel a Curry and Chandler to the Sacramento Kings for Kenny Thomas — who’s got an expiring contract — makes sense for both teams.

it never occurred to me that he’d be available at 9.. I was planning on drafting Steve Jackson or Chris Johnson as my RB.
I have to believe that people are just not believing he can stay healthy for a whole season. Or maybe they think he is pissed off over how the Chargers handled his resign. I think he is poised to have a great year. If Merriman can stay healthy, I definitely buy the Chargers having a legit chance for some kind of post-season success.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
I went into the draft thinking I had the fifth pick, where i was hoping he would fall. I have him in my top 3-4 overall, shocked when he fell to nine.
I think he doesn’t have the excitement that comes with the new guys, like Forte/Peterson/MJD/Johnson… we forget how absolutely dominant he was in 2007.

Yea, I had him projected at 5.. maybe 7 at worse.
2007 was amazing. People definitely forget how much he did that year. 186 points in a season is just insane. And they also forget how he went from that season to family tragedy, preseason injury, and in season injury. It’s not like he’s old yet at 30. This is a no question HOFer, imo, who has at least a few more years of being a premier RB.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
I really think DeAngelo’s TDs were an anomaly and Turner’s season was predicated upon racking up stats on an incredibly weak schedule vs. the run… so LT snuck up there pretty far.

Turner was drafted #2 in my league. I almost fell on the ground. I buy AP and MJD as the best bets right now. But after that, the rankings are a bit less clear. But I’ll bet that Turner esp. does not prove top 5 this season.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
I don't know why you figuratively fell on the ground
Turner is ranked number 2 by ESPN and assuming you played in an ESPN league that ranking is going to dominate the thinking of your average player.

It’s funny. I did a mock auction and every player was within a dollar of their pre-made auction values. They control public thought.

I did a mock auction even though I don't do real drafts that way
I saw the same thing and was part of it myself. Even on the guys I like I wouldn’t go more than a dollar or two above their ranking.
Also, I think the “pressure” when you’re in the draft makes it difficult to go against the grain. The ESPN rankings, for example, are right there in the draft window; they’re hard to ignore. If there was a longer time limit you might see people diverge from the standard rankings more.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Yes, it was Yahoo, but the autorankings were set the same. It shocked me because the list I was using (CBS) put him down at 4 below Forte which is closer to how I would have ranked him (or even at 5 below Williams).
PS I’m going to avoid overcommtting to too many fantasy teams (a mistake I usually make), so I’ll have to pass on your other league.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
no problem, thanks for the heads up
still, if you end up with pick 2 and you like Turner you take him even if he’s a number 5 guy. You won’t get another chance at him. I think plenty of people have favorite players they target.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I have players that I absolutely won’t draft and players that I’ll draft ahead of where their perceived value is… e.g. Anthony Gonzalez was ranked fairly poorly by Yahoo, but I picked him a round of the ranking to ensure that I got him.
I used ADP from a site to look at value.. Colston was averaging 2.12, got him at 4.5. Gotta love Yahoo’s rankings influencing the draft.

I dont know what the 5th pick rookie scale is but I think untill they trade him or he never plays for them

The Minnesota T'wolves drafting of Ricky Rubio will work if David Kahn flips him for a return ...
that surpasses Mike Miller and Randy Foye. Kahn should be viewing things in the grand scheme. I, therefore, suggest that he shouldn’t move Rubio in a package for superfluous players like David Lee and Nate Robinson, but rather for a few future first-round draft picks in 2012, 2014, and 2016.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I say that sorta makes sense
If one is inclined to think Rubio won’t be good.
If one thinks he’ll be good to maybe great, then ya keep him and make it work in 2 years.
If ya got him because he had the most value at the #5 spot, then a trade for assets like future 1st round picks would be nice— though painfully longterm/big scheme for a brand new GM and a fanbase who can wait 2 years for a player they know and be excited about, but not for the hope of getting 3 decent draft picks from a team who stands a good chance at not being a lottery team by 2012 comes around.
So, you’d be trading Rubio for 3 mid to late 1st rounders. Bump that! I know I’d rather roll the dice on Rubio being a bust.

Battier is definitely on my list. At the right price, he’d be high value with even minimal athleticism. So much of his game is highly cerebral.

can you imagine him in an 18-20 minute bench role? Incredible defense and shooting right off the bench. It’s not like he’ll lose much with age… his game is all mental.

It would be like having a much more talented version Bowen from the last couple of years.
It would be amazing. You could play him almost nothing in the regular season and just upgrade his role for the playoffs. If we had to let Przy go by then, he would become the defensive captain. And presumably he would be backing up the continuing to improve Batum?!? That 2012 Championship prediction feels like a pretty good one.

I know it is the homer in me talking, but I think so. I don’t see the usual Portland-issues (mid-sized market, funky weather, off in the boonies of america) bothering him. I bet that he would feel a lot like Miller did about coming here.. like this is a perfect team that just needs a few game-matured players to make the final leap into a contender.

We're talking about Battier, right?
Why would Battier care about our size and weather?
He’s a winning type player.

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

can portland hire steven hill
even if he cant get a seat on the bench he could work timbers games

can norsk or anyone smart answer this
i was looking at the norsktroll chart of awesome again and i was wondering how did portland get the rights to swap picks with denver in 2011 or 2012. i know it says tim grgurich, but how does that work? do teams always get compensation when a coach under contract goes to another team? what if monty would have gotten the minnesota job?
fire nate before its too late
No, they went to court over if he was still under contract and it was part of the settlement to close the case "amicably" and give Denver the coach they wanted
They put it far into the future, but the future is now approaching. It rarely happens, but e.g. Orlando also had to give up a second round pick to Miami to hire Van Gundy out of a contract after their initial candidate jumped ship and went back to college.
