The final kill sequence was well done, but they didn't execute well anywhere. I felt like it was decent, but given the story, decent was the worst you could do. It was indeed rather boring, usually a film that is so disjointed will at least seem to move quickly...but no.

If they can rejuvenate it, I don't care if it's hipsters, progressives, old white gamblers, a fortress for gun rights activists, whatever. Better than having it sit there and rot.

Congress receives report on the value of education in humanities While BO has been a fairly pro-education President, his stress on science education and general vocational education has been worrying. Bush did this as well, which is less surprising. Everything is important and the humanities are valuable to those who are going into the vocations that require specific training like engineering as well as the vocations that do not. Some good things about pedagogy in higher education as well, such as a need to put teaching on equal footing with research and for top researchers to teach courses that aren't just supplements to their research interests. When I was choosing colleges, I found complaints from students at many top schools about this; professors were either entirely absent in place of TAs or were detached lecturers rambling on about their current or past research.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 06:01 PM) What do you think his ceiling is? 4th OF? If so, he shouldn't even be considered a top 20 prospect. No, his ceiling is certainly a starting outfielder but not exactly a franchise changing one. At his best you'd expect a fairly high average, but probably not .300. He should take walks, though, so an adequate OBP. I don't think anyone sees him even hitting 10 HRs, but that would probably be a max HR output. He should spray some doubles and triples and ideally swipe 40-50 bags with good defense. That's a not a value-less player by any stretch, but a secondary contributor on a good team. Alejandro is not the worst comparison, but ADA has more power and is not such a good base stealer.

I'm done counting on Miami and counting out San Antonio. I don't know what will happen in Game 7. With that said, the end of that game was not good to watch. It was a bunch of hacking, turning over, chucking, and choking. One team won because someone has to win.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 11m The Heat had 8 2nd-chance points in 44 minutes with Duncan on court. They had 9 2nd-chance points in 9 minutes with Duncan on the bench.

QUOTE (DOWNTOWN PANTHER @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 11:37 PM) With as bad as the White Sox are you would think that they would be bringing up some of these guys for a look. Charlie Leesman may not be #1 on their radar, but the dude keeps striking fools out. He had another 8 ks tonight. Get this dude up to Chicago!! Y not???? Youre losing to the Twins and Astros. What is there to lose???? Well, for one, our pitching staff has been pretty great. We already have more MLB starters than we know what to do with.

That was probably a foul too if it occurred at any other point in the game

Fitting way for it to end. Manu plays like crazy and a Miami foul doesn't get called.

Ruh roh. Terrible offensive set for San Antonio.

Wow, SA gets caught not hustling

I'm not sure who benefits from the overtime. Spurs scuffled early in fourth, then Miami pukes it away and Spurs rally, then a missed FT or two and a big shot from Allen. I don't know who has momentum.

LEBRON SO CLUTCH

LEBRON SO CLUTCH

You can tell the Heat are trying not to hurt people's feelings and make sure everybody gets their touches down the stretch. That teams needs a new coach and they might get one at this rate.

TONY PARKER CAME TO PLAY

Ty Lawson ‏@TyLawson3 4m I'm never wearing my headband again either #riptotheheadband

It's like holding in football. You know LeBron is fouling on every offensive possession, so you always assume that calling it is right. Now and then, you mistime it but you know it evens out in the long run.

Spurs missing some makeable shots now

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) I'll be interested to see how long Wade stays on the bench. Lebron has so much more room to work with shooters out there. zero longer

The Spurs could start playing some help defense at some point.

Mitch Kwiatkowski ‏@Jesus_Phegley 1m If LeBron takes a shoe off then game over

The Heat didn't get some calls in the third, but I can promise you that they'll get them now. Spurs have to figure that out and adjust. They're playing like they're trying to get calls
