The things you learn from Sacramento Kings Media Day and Fanfest

Yesterday, the Sacramento Kings held annual media day festivities along with a free open scrimmage for fans. It was unusual timing considering we’ve already had full access to the Kings for since Saturday. But because of the lockout, the Kings and the rest of the NBA aren’t running on your typical league calendar.
Starting off on a serious note…
The injury bug has all of a sudden bitten the Kings.  Four of their five presumed starters are suffering  some sort of ailment today: John Salmons (right quad contusion, happened during last night’s open practice), Chuck Hayes (a possible heart abnormality, information still developing),  Tyreke Evans (bum left foot), DeMarcus Cousins (bum right ankle and tweaked left shoulder).  Of the four injured, Evans and Cousins should worry Kings fans the least since both were seen lightly shooting baskets on the court during media day.
Evans on his health: “No concern.  I  could’ve really finished practice (on Wednesday).  I just wanted to be careful because DeMarcus tweaked his (foot).  We didn’t want two people going down on a short training camp.”  He added he’ll be ready to play in Saturday’s preseason game against Golden State.
Cousins on his health: “I’m fine. It’s going to take a few days (to) heal up (and) I’ll be back.”  He added that he’ll be wearing a shoulder strap again this season, so he isn’t too concerned about his shoulder.  Unlike Evans, Cousins doesn’t expect to play Saturday even though he’d like to, but he’s confident he’ll be ready for the home opener.
The Jamal Crawford to Portland deal broke as we were picking the brains of new assistant coaches Jim Todd and Keith Smart during media day.  Both men coached Crawford – Smart in Golden State and Todd in Atlanta.  Jimmer Fredette found out about the Crawford-to-Portland signing while he was addressing media.  Isaiah Thomas shares good insight on his mentor’s move in this week’s Cowbell Kingdom podcast.

Now onto the fun…
Veteran Francisco Garcia is impressed so far by Jimmer, but isn’t conceding that the rookie is a better shooter just yet.  They played each other in a shooting contest the other day and Garcia says he hasn’t lost to the rookie.
“Actually the second time we shot, we tied up,” said Garcia. “I made like nine in a row, then he made eight, then I missed one, then he made ten.  Maybe luckily for me, we had to go to practice…”  Garcia and Jimmer both said they tied in their last shootout.
According to the man himself, Jimmer is one of three players in the NBA who wears Spalding sneakers.  The other two?  Mario Chalmers and Chris Singleton.  But Jimmer by far is the most notable athlete on the company’s roster since Hakeem Olajuwon.
Talk about an odd couple, Jimmer was told by reporters that DeMarcus would like to live with him this year.  What was his response?
Cousins is not shying away from showing his goofy personality this year.  He’s taking a lighthearted approach with the media these days and has become quite a riot to be around.  News 10 has raw video of Cousins’ antics from yesterday, which I highly encourage you to watch.  But before you do, check what the Kings big man says has changed for him this year.  Hint: It’s not his weight, but it is something you can see. The connections on this team run deep for newcomer Chuck Hayes, who knew both Cousins and rookie Adrian Oliver before coming into camp.  Hayes and Cousins have Kentucky ties and Oliver was his ball boy back at Modesto Christian High School. “I’ve known Adrian since he was eight years old,” said Hayes of Oliver, adding that it’s been weird to play with Oliver now that he’s all grown up. “So we go back a long ways.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-893BVSBRxs&feature=player_embedded

How Do Grocery Stores Define “Local”?

Last fall Wal-Mart announced their plans to increase the amount of local produce sold in their stores across the United States. The decision was arguably one of the most visible indications that the local food movement has hit the mainstream, gaining followers for both economic and environmental reasons. Yet it is necessary to approach such an announcement with a dose of skepticism when it comes from a company that seems to be driven so heavily by the bottom line. Is this a case of green-washing?

Critics say Wal-Mart’s new policy to promote local food was little more than a marketing scheme, and have accused the company of re-labeling products that were already procured locally. However, a recent Wall Street Journal article reports Wal-Mart says that the consumer demand for local produce is aligned with cost-savings objectives. Wal-Mart, like many other national chains, says money can be saved on transportation by purchasing food near its point of sale and also cut down on waste due to food spoilage. In a press release, the company announced that they hope to source up to nine percent of all produce locally.

Many grocery stores also spotlight their local produce, although the definition of “local” varies from store to store, just as it might vary from person to person. Here is a look at how some of the major grocery chains defined local produce.

• A&P: Grown within New York and New Jersey, according to a company representative
• Kroger (and subsidiaries): The term “local” can refer to produce grown in the same state or region
• Safeway: Produce is only local if it can reach the store in less than an eight hour drive
• Sweetbay Super Market: Within the state (all stores are located in Florida)
• Publix: Local produce comes from the five states within which the stores are located (Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama)
• Wal-Mart: Grown within 450 miles of distribution centers, but only fruits and vegetables will be highlighted as local if they come from the state in which they are sold
• Whole Foods: Must be able to reach the store within seven hours by car or truck
• Wegmans: At least within the state

An important goal of the local food movement is about increasing the transparency of food systems: consumers want to know where their food comes from. I was surprised to find many grocery stores express a dedication to local produce, yet fail to qualify these statements. For example, Wegmans has a website page dedicated to explaining the importance of food miles, yet offers no hard definition for what the maximum number of food miles is acceptable for a food to be labeled “locally grown.” On the other hand, Wegmans has a twitter account dedicated to tweeting out the arrival of local produce to their stores (@WegmansLocal), often indicating where the food is coming from. A tweet at this account provided me with the definition listed above.

Hannaford is another example: their site features stories from local farmers and an interactive map of farmers and producers, but no hard definition of what qualifies as “local.”

Review: Farrell’s Frightening, Ferocious, Fangs Saves ‘Fright Night’ Reboot!

“Welcome to frrrr (Spanish ‘R’ roll) rrright night…FOR REAL!” Ohoo…Damn! Remember that line from 1985’sFright Night version? That freaky cold line, delivered by Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) during a freaky scene towards the end of the film…? It was pretty chilling. For a B-movie which starts off slow and not pieced too well…it picked up during the middle and does what it had to do—Entertain, scare, develop a little horniness, cringe and start dwelling on Vampire flicks a bit differently than what Hollywood had presented in its earlier years. During 1985, Fright Night became a cult classic which generated most of its fan-base during the ever-so-famous VCR years, and for a film that blended cheesy humor, along with horror, this was one I never thought would wind up a remake. It’s happened, it’s 2011 and here we are with "Fright Night 3D."

Senior Charlie Brewster (Yelchin) finally has it all—the cat's running with the “in crowd” and ATM’ng the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so money; he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Mintz-Plasse a/k/a McLovin’). But trouble stirs when an intriguing, handsome, mysterious, stranger Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right—and everyone, including Charlie's mom, doesn't notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a motherf-en’ vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charlie takes matter into his own hands, and decides to rid of this creature of the night by his damn-self! 

I’m sure there will be mixed verdicts once reviews are unleashed come release day of August 19, 2011. My feelings for this film weren’t over-the-roof, but I didn’t walk out feeling sick. I could sure do without all the 3D crap, but on the contrary, there were elements which worked and I found quite entertaining. Contradiction? Perhaps…but this is America, and I have full rights when it comes to being a little of this and that! Therefore, is it possible a 3D comedy/horror be a thing of beauty? Sure. Why not?! This gory funny vampire tale covers nothing new, however, if there’s something about it that stands out…is that Director, Craig Gillespie, nailed it when tapping the Irish Wonder of Hollywood (Colin Farrell) to portray the role of a blood-sucker. 

Of all roles I’ve seen this bushy-eye-brow bastard play, this is by far one of the best. Perhaps it won’t snag any Oscar or Golden Globe nods come 2012, but when it comes to playing a creepy, scary, vile, dude/vamp…this is it! Nothing about this role would entail any kind of artistic approach, but there’s always a movie which captivates due to a striking performance, and I can’t think of another actor that could have pulled this cheesy rehash off. No, not Pattinson (Twilight) or Skarsgard (True Blood), so spare me those names. Whether money or simply really having interest within the role, I thought it was cool. I was taken more by Farrell’s malicious antics, rather than all which stood peripherally! 

Chemistry between Yelchin and McLovin’ seemed pretty stale. Lots of scenes shared between the duo were ok and mildly funny, but it remained a simple flat-line at moments, and I guess for writing purposes…their characters are quickly stamped, and actions follow through when Yelchin decides to go for a hoe rather than a bro! 

Tying in the remake with supporters are David Tennant, Imogen Poots and Toni Collette. The film also provides the typical rules to fighting a vamp, and this is where the film sets itself aside from being carried by Farrell. Why? Well, this is where all the 3D comes into play. Javier Aguirresarobe, who shot Twilight Saga: New Moon, utilized 3D camera magic/sweeps into smoky, shadowy rooms, lit only by candles or a flickering TV screen, through the empty streets of a Vegas suburb. So get ready, folks, the screen will hurl blood, guts, shattered glass, arrows and crucifixes right in our FACES! AHHHH! WATCH OUT! OUUUCH! (Pulling the bottom part of a crucifix out of my left eye-socket) 

At best, the film’s entertaining. Nothing to do back-flips for, but not bad for a flick to start embracing the end of summer…its got a little of everything and would go awesome with some pop-corn, a coke and perhaps a box of peanut M&Ms.

Best Buy Seeing HP TouchPad Sell-Through Rate of Under 10%

Apple has continued to dominate the tablet market with the iPad despite a number of high-profile competitors having pushed out their own devices over the past year. Even as some studies have shown Android and other operating systems beginning to eat into Apple's dominant position, most of those studies have been based on shipments into the distribution channels and not sales to end users. 


Several reports have indicated that despite shipping hundreds of thousands or even millions of tablets, many of Apple's competitors are not seeing consumer interest in their products and thus the devices are sitting on store shelves and in warehouses and not making their way into users' hands. One of the most telling pieces of data comes in a new report from AllThingsD, which has learned that of the approximately 270,000 units of HP's highly-promoted TouchPad shipped out to Best Buy's distribution channels, only about 25,000 have been sold to customers.

According to one source who’s seen internal HP reports, Best Buy has taken delivery of 270,000 TouchPads and has so far managed to sell only 25,000, or less than 10 percent of the units in its inventory. 

A second person who has seen Best Buy’s TouchPad sales figures confirmed the results as “consistent with what I’ve seen,” and went so far as to say that 25,000 sold might be “charitable.” This source suggested that the 25,000-unit sales number may not account for units that consumers return to stores for a refund.

Best Buy is said to be so unhappy with the lack of momentum on TouchPad sales that it has asked HP to take many of the unsold units back, but HP is reportedly "pleading" with Best Buy to remain patient. HP recently slashed $100 off of the price of the TouchPad in attempt to spur sales and is hoping that the move will turn things around, dropping pricing on the entry-level 16 GB model to $399.99. HP's price cut may not be having the desired effect, however, as reports coming in from retailers suggest that consumers are continuing to hold off in hopes that prices drop even further. 

For its part, Apple has repeatedly noted that it is selling nearly every iPad it can make, pushing out over 9 million iPads last quarter alone. It was only earlier this month that Apple's online stores dropped their shipping estimates on new iPad 2 orders to "within 24 hours", indicating that Apple has finally caught up with demand five months after launch

HP To Buy Enterprise Software Autonomy For $10.2 Billion In Cash

According to a Bloomberg report, HP is set to buy European infrastructure software company Autonomy for as much as $10 billion. That price would make the acquisition one of HP’s largest deals to date.

Autonomy’s enterprise software powers pan-enterprise search, customer interaction solutions, information governance, end-to-end eDiscovery, records management, archiving, business process management, web content management, web optimization, rich media management and video and audio analysis. The company’s software allows enterprises to provide insight and structure to electronic data, including unstructured information, such as text, email, web pages, voice, or video.

Autonomy, which trades on the London Stock Exchange, just bought assets from Iron Mountainfor $380 million.

Microsoft and Oracle were also reportedly bidding on Autonomy last year. The company was alsorumored to be evaluating a U.S. listing.

HP has made a number of enterprise acquisitions over the past year, spending $2.35 billion on 3PAR last year, and buying ArcSight for $1.5 billion.

Bloomberg also reported that HP will announce the spinoff of its personal-computer business.

UPDATE: HP just confirmed that it is in “discussions with Autonomy regarding a possible offer for the company.”

HP also reported that it exploring ‘strategic alternatives’ for its Personal Systems Group, including a ‘full or partial separation of PSG from HP through a spin-off or other transaction.’

UPDATE 2: HP has confirmed that it will acquired Autonomy for £25.50 ($42.11) per share in cash.

Léo Apotheker, HP president and chief executive officer of HP said in a statement:

“Autonomy presents an opportunity to accelerate our strategic vision to decisively and profitably lead a large and growing space…Together with Autonomy, we plan to reinvent how both unstructured and structured data is processed, analyzed, optimized, automated and protected. Autonomy has an attractive business model, including a strong cloud based solution set, which is aligned with HP’s efforts to improve our portfolio mix. We believe this bold action will squarely position HP in software and information to create the next-generation Information Platform, and thereby, create significant value for our shareholders…Autonomy is a highly profitable and globally respected software company, with a well-regarded management team and talented, dedicated employees. We look forward to partnering with a company who shares our commitment to solving customer problems by creating smart, cutting-edge products and solutions.”

Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie: Expecting!

Talk about a great first wedding anniversary present!
While marking a year of marriage to NHL player Mike Comrie, Material Girls star Hilary Duff announced Sunday they are expecting their first child:
"I can't believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you're having fun!" she wrote. "We also want to share the exciting news that... BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives."

Days before Duff's big announcement, Hilary, 23, hinted to us that she and Mike, 30, were ready to start a family in the not-so-distant future.
"I think it was important that we had a year to just do whatever," she said. "Maybe longer than that because we enjoy having so much freedom."
"But we're definitely both thinking about it."
Guess she was serious. Congrats, you two!

World War Z movie synopsis is nothing like the book, internet melts down

Remember when the World War Z movie held such promise? Now, not so much. Paramount has released the synopsis for its film adaptation of Max Brooks' seminal zombie war story, and people are not happy about the massive deviations.The internet is rising up like a last-ditch offensive to stop a zombie army. Read the collected rants below.Here's the official synopsis from Paramount:"The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself."As you can see, rather than taking place after the bloody Zombie Wars, this movie will be set during the beginning of the outbreak. And Pitt will be running around to try and stop it. So basically, it's every zombie movie ever made that no one saw. It sounds like this adaptation won't even be a shadow of the original novel. The synopsis reads like the producers cherry-picked a few battles and then wove them together around Pitt's character. This is disheartening, to say the least, and we're not alone in our disappointment. Plenty of folks feel the same way, and here's why they're pissed:Film School Rejects thinks it's all just a damn shame.[I]f you're going to get fans of the book excited, only to take away what makes the book unique, what's the point? To make a movie In Name Only that uses the title as a hook to get people into the theater before switching your bait?Why does the adaptation formula seem to be: 1. Find something people like. 2. Option it. 3. Change that thing people like.Now, instead of a slam dunk, [Director Marc] Forster and company will now have to convince fans that this is worth checking out (and not just another zombie movie to add to the pile). That's a shame. Topless Robot was less than thrilled:God damn it. The thing that made World War Z special — and the thing that makes The Walking Dead special, for that matter — is that it's not about the zombies, it's about the people. WWZ makes it a global history, where we get to see how a zombie invasion shaped society in general and various places in specific. It's not about one soldier who trots the goddamned globe fighting zombies. That's just another goddamned regular zombie movie, albeit one with a broader scope. Is it really that hard for Hollywood to wrap their heads around a zombie story that isn't a shitty action-horror film?Bloody Disgusting's headline sounded a bit disappointed, and almost a little sad:World War Z' Might Not Be What We Hoped ForScreen Rant attempted to calm the masses asking why we were even surprised, this isn't new in Hollywood, but not before slipping this little zinger in:Brooks' book explored – among other things – how the world would or wouldn't be able to cope with a massive disaster like a zombie apocalypse. The sci-fi/horror premise was a great allegorical frame for a lot of relevant political, social and moral questions. This movie is basically your tried-and-true (and often failed) race-against-time action/thriller. You probably wouldn't even bat an eye if [they] were to lie and say that Roland Emmerich was directing.But probably the best rant against Marc Forster and his shallow of an adaptation of an Oral History of the Zombie War is from Peter Hall at Movies.com:Paramount's World War Z is not Max Brooks' World War Z. As anyone who has read (and no doubt subsequently fallen in love with) the latter, it's about an agent of the UN's Postwar Commission who goes around the world to interview survivors of the zombie apocalypse in order to understand exactly how it happened. He's just a researcher trying to unearth facts that the UN might not want to get out whilst making sense of this big, bloody, global brain-eating mess. He is NOT an employee "in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic." He's not even a little bit of that. Not even a fraction.But what do you all think? It is pretty early in the game for the film, plus who knows who writes the synopsis for movies (that are still filming). Perhaps it's all just one giant misunderstanding, or perhaps WWZ the movie will surprised us all. Can this movie be saved? Is it even a World War Z movie anymore?

Mae West

Mae West, “A kiss is just a kiss…” Herman Hupfeld wrote in 1931 in her now classic “As Time Goes By. How wrong can you be a composer?
He did not know that a writer of science would come along 80 years later and prove that the kiss is so much more than just a kiss.
The science of kissing: What Our Lips are telling us perhaps the definitive work to date on the very old habit or locking lips.
What do you know?
This is the traditional Eskimo kiss does actually involve rubbing noses, as is believed, but rather a kind of “nuzzle-sniff?
Psychologists report that most of us can remember up to 90% of the details of our first kiss?
That’s what makes a great kiss is not lust, but trust and honesty? Who knew?
Only two of the three people tilt their head to the right when they go to a kiss?
“If there is one message to make you leave this book, I hope this will be the following: Do not give up on romance,” writes Kirshenbaum. “A kiss can be one of the most extraordinary shared between two people and understand the science behind it can help to improve all the time.”
Kirshenbaum book covers everything from possible diseases associated with kissing, kissing in the Song of Songs “. Let him kiss me with the kisses of her mouth, for thy love is better than wine “Or like” Mae West”résume: “A kiss is the signature of a man. ”
