Lockhart Line 3.30 - Sports News Mavs down Nuggets take full game lead in race for second
Lockdawg recaps the Mavericks huge blow-out victory over the undermanned Denver Nuggets last night at the AAC. Dirk goes for a triple-double (34 pts, 10 rebs,10 asts) and the Mavericks make a big statement. But, was it enough to change the Lockdawg's opinion of the Mavs chances this year?? Don't bet on it!!
Will the iPad take us completely paperless?
The much anticipated iPad will make it's techno-world splash this weekend (April 3, 2010), however, the number of those to get wet by the device, is still yet to be determined. Any good Sci-Fi movie teaches us, that "too much technology" can sometimes and in most cases kill those that it was designed to help. As a blogger/sports writer, I can find many potential uses for this new device but so far I'm still not sold, yet. Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad in January, showing off a tablet computer with a 9.7-inch (25-centimeter) touch screen that can serve up Web pages, e-mail, music, videos, games, electronic books and iPhone applications. (Business Week)
Although the device is bigger and more powerful than a smartphone but smaller and less powerful than a laptop, what it lacks in power and performance it makes up in simplicity and fun. Computerworld writer MIke Elglan believes the unit will be huge. " I'm no fanboy," he said. "I've tried to envision some conceivable series of events that might leave the iPad as only moderately successful, but I can't come up with any. All circumstances, facts and events in technology, media and elsewhere seem to point to the same inexorable outcome: The iPad will be huge."
Check out the video review I found on YouTube.

Pep rally and protesters make for raucous and at times ugly build-up to House health care vote - latimes.com
As the hour reaches near for the pivotal "up or down" House vote on the much belabored and belegured healthcare bill, tabbed by some as "Obamacare or a government takeover of one-sixth of the United States economy, the gloves have truly come off now. The ugly truth behind the Tea Party movement is that it is filled with hate.
Today, as lawmakers made their way into Congress many were faced with horrible reminders of America's turbulent past. Some black lawmakers report being spat upon and having racial epithets hurled at them that brought back memories of the racially charged civil rights movements of the 1960s.
Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said "I heard people saying things today that I have not heard since March 15, 1960, when I was marching to try to get off the back of the bus," Clyburn told reporters. (latimes.com)
It's sad that after so much progress has been made in the 21st century in bridging the great racial divide in this country, when the rubber meets the road, America still hasn't changed that much. And when faced with formidible obstacles to their own ignorance, they only get more ignorant and abusive instead of showing any sense or sensibility.
Beyond the outright racists remarks from some of the opposition crowd. The facts are simple, if the bill is passed things will be better for consumers and businesses than not doing anything. At a minimum 30 million more Americans will have the ability to get healthcare if the historic legislation is passed than are able to get coverage today. As far as changes in coverages for those who currently have insurance not much will change, except they'll get more out of the coverages they have now but at a slightly higher price.
However, if nothing is done those with coverages will pay higher prices for sure as their insurers raise premiums without any restrictions and those without any coverage will be left to continue to fill emergency rooms at the taxpayer's expense. Check the facts.

Editorial: Dismal graduation rate for Cal's basketball team is an embarrassment - San Jose Mercury News
Editorial: Dismal graduation rate for Cal's basketball team is an embarrassment - San Jose Mercury News
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is not pleased with the latest news coming out of the Sunshine State and if he had his way the Bears would be home studying instead of preparing for a first round matchup against the Cardinals of Louisville.
The University of California has one of the highest rates for tuition for it's students in the country but they also have one of the nation's lowest rate of graduation for it's basketball players. Doesn't sound like they are getting enough bang for their buck!!
But Cal's embarrassing 20 percent rate of graduation isn't the worst. That dubious distinction belongs to the University of Maryland (8 percent). Still I think the Secretary of Education has the right idea about banning schools with graduation rates lower than 40 percent. What do you think?

Lockhart Line 3.6 Sports News: Rose is right on Griner!
We live in a world of so much infatuation with the "trainwrecks of life", that whenever one of us has the decency to call foul and say enough is enough with the over sensationalized, salivating, sexy stories to promote women's sports. No matter how you slice it ESPN Analyst and former NBA player Jalen Rose was right to say that the Griner punch has no place in the game of sports and she should be done for the year. Do you agree or dis agree? Leave a comment.
