| Time to put the Trade Machine to work
At crunch time, they'd have Williams and Boozer playing the two-man game with three killer shooters spreading the floor (Miller, Okur and Kyle Korver). That would be deadly, right? Also, Lowry would give them their first real backup point guard since Howard Eisley was still alive, and Cardinal gives another white guy for a franchise that can never have enough white guys. I'd think long and hard about this deal if I'm Utah. Why Golden State does it: Because Kirilenko's manifest destiny is to play in Golden State for Don Nelson. It is. You can't tell me differently. Imagine him running around with Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins. That's terrifying. Kirilenko would push the Warriors to another level and put them on the short list of true title contenders.
Inspiration's just around the corner
When he has a bad day, I, hopefully, buoy him. We rarely both have bad days at the same time, so it works out pretty well. Plus we share a bent sense of humor; that helps a lot. Now don't get me wrong. Of course we wish the stroke never happened, that things could go back to the way they were. But that's not how it is, so we do our best to accept it as gracefully as possible. That said, there are still those times ... Funny, though, when there are those darker moments, it's almost spooky (in a good way) how something inspires us anew. That's happened a couple of times of late. The first was a few weeks ago when I met Carrie Holmstrom at this newspaper's "Men and Women of the Year" breakfast where Carrie was the 2007 "Youth of the Year." Despite a devastating auto accident that resulted in the amputation of both legs below the knee and part of her right hand, Carrie has persevered.
Nasdaq decides to delist Aspen Technology stock
A patent judgment against Boston Scientific Corp. has jumped to $501 million after a judge tacked on an additional $69 million in interest. US District Judge John Ward ruled to expand the damages award - decided by a federal jury in Marshall, Texas - to cover interest on royalties dating to the Natick-based medical device maker's 2004 US launch of drug-coated heart stents. Jurors awarded $432 million on Monday to Dr. Bruce Saffran, who argued the stents violated his 1997 patent covering technology to deliver medication within the body to heal injuries. A company spokesman declined to comment further. (AP) .
Today's Headlines
Just before Hurricane Katrina cut a horrifying swath across the U.S. Gulf Coast in August of 2005, the members of metal quintet DOWN had gathered in their hometown of New Orleans to work on new material for their third CD, "Over the Under". Guitarist Pepper Keenan made the smart move of leaving the area before the storm hit, and apart from losing power for a month, his house was all right. But he didn't walk away from the experience unscathed, and neither did his Big Easy bandmates. The fortitude of Louisiana natives in the face of Katrina's destruction is cited on "Over the Under" tracks like "On March the Saints," but as Keenan explains, the city is still terribly wounded more than two years after the disaster. And it hasn't gotten much help with reconstruction from the Bush administration.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Fox Interactive and Google: Is breaking up hard to do? Posted in: General Wired & Wireless Google Microsoft Search Yahoo MySpace Social networking Facebook Fox is reportedly thinking about terminating its deal with Google for search advertising and getting in bed with Microsoft. TechCrunch's Michael Arrington is reporting the news based on what appears to be one source, but a potential Google-Fox breakup is plausible. It's also possible that this rumor was floated to scare the hell out of Yahoo, which is hoping News Corp./Fox becomes a white knight to fend off Microsoft. Update: News Corp. has shot down this rumor, according to Silicon Alley Insider. Here's the verbal joust that got us to this point.
My Chemical Romance Announce Spring U.S. Tour Dates
My Chemical Romance, who traveled the globe last year in support of their platinum-selling album "The Black Parade," will return to the U.S. in March for a month-plus tour -- the last series of dates before the band take time off to write a new album. The tour, which features support from Billy Talent and Drive By, begins March 28th in Tempe, AZ, and will hit mid-size theaters across the country. My Chemical Romance made a deliberate decision to play more intimate venues this time around after spending months of performing in U.S. arenas on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and Taking Back Sunday over the summer. .
At Yale, Cult of Fat is scarce and unfashionable
This certainly doesn't match demographics in the real world. There are tons of fat people in Congress, business and even professional sports. Some of the most powerful men and women on earth are fat cats. My real worry: Yale may not adequately prepare its students to enter a substantially plumper community. One might blame the students, who succumb to habits of exercise and the tantalizing temptations of vegetables and whole grain oats. We all remember the peer pressure of our friends joining a sports team, one-by-one neglecting the glow of the Super Nintendo. Perhaps it's the parents. They create a home unfriendly to a fat lifestyle, enabling their children with healthy food and exercise. Perhaps it's our dining halls, which after adopting the sustainable food project and installing a salad bar in every college, has made it extremely difficult to keep a rounded figure.
George Splurges on $40,000 Suite for Valentine's Day
While most guys were buying chocolate and roses for their gals, George Clooney spent $40,000 on a luxury suite for girlfriend Sarah Larson. The couple spent Valentine's Day at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and sparing no expense, they checked into the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa in the Playboy Tower. The lovebirds had a romantic dinner at Nove and capped their special night with a big dose of “Love," the Cirque Du Soleil Beatles show at the Mirage. .
