| What if Oklahoma were Israel?Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:47:01 -0800 by HiraghmAfter following operation Cast Lead via the israellycool.com website, I became curious about the situation there. I tried to imagine it happening here in Oklahoma. This video was made to help me (and hopefully others) get a feel for what it's like over there. The star is on a small town near Oklahoma City, and represents the launch point of the rockets. The green arc is the range of the shortest rockets, the red is the range of the longest. If Oklahoma City were under such an attack, the western half of the city would be under constant threat; and we're not nearly as densely populated as Israel.

| Sixers vs. Bucks 1/7/09 GAME RECAPWed, 07 Jan 2009 22:45:44 -0800 by NBASeason2009The Philadelphia 76ers held on for a rare road win Wednesday night by beating the Milwaukee Bucks 110-105.By COLIN FLY, AP Sports Writer 1 hour, 35 minutes ago * Buzz up! 0 votes * PrintMilwaukee Bucks' Richard Jefferson (24) tries to drive past Philadelphia 76ers' Andre Iguodala (9) during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, in Milwaukee. The 76ers won 110-105.Milwaukee Bucks' Richard JeffeAP - Jan 7, 11:05 pm ESTPhiladelphia 76ers' Andre MillAP - Jan 7, 11:01 pm ESTPhiladelphia 76ers' Andre MillAP - Jan 7, 11:00 pm ESTMilwaukee Bucks' Francisco ElsAP - Jan 7, 9:25 pm ESTPhiladelphia 76ers' Theo RatliAP - Jan 7, 9:23 pm ESTPhiladelphia 76ers' Theo RatliAP - Jan 7, 9:21 pm ESTPhiladelphia 76ers' Andre MillAP - Jan 7, 9:18 pm EST * 1 of 7 * NBA GalleryMILWAUKEE (AP)?Michael Redd had no idea what Andre Miller was about to do. Miller wasnt sure, either.Miller opted for a 3-pointer over Redd with 28 seconds left to finish with 28 points, and the Philadelphia 76ers held on for a rare road win Wednesday night, 110-105 over the Milwaukee Bucks.I didnt know what to do, whether to attack the basket or pull up, but I knew I was going to take a shot, said Miller, who also had nine rebounds and six assists.Philadelphia coach Tony DiLeo challenged his team to make at least five 3s after he thought the Sixers were being tentative because they were the worst long-distance shooting team in the NBA.The 76ers entered at 29.5 percent from long range but kept firing, going 8-of-15 from 3-point range against the Bucks.We hit our goal tonight, DiLeo said. Thats what we want. We want them to have the confidence, the freedom, the green light to shoot whenever theyre open.Trailing by eight with just more than 10 minutes to play, the Sixers started taking?and making?their shots from behind the arc. They finished 4-of-6 for the quarter, none bigger than Millers 3 right after Luke Ridnour made it 104-103 with a 3-pointer of his own with 49 seconds to play.Hes unbelievable, DiLeo said of Miller. He sees things out on the court, he runs the team, he knows when to push it and when to pull it out.Miller went down the floor and Redd barely reacted, looking for a pick and expecting a drive when Miller pulled up and answered with his own 3 to push the lead to 107-103.I think I surprised Michael a little bit because the scouting report is that Im not going to shoot the 3-pointer. Its something I work on, but I dont usually take them, Miller said.After Milwaukees Richard Jefferson, who finished with 27 points, added a layup, Andre Iguodala made one of two free throws with 17 seconds to play and Charlie Bell missed an off-balance 3 with seconds to play that wouldve tied it.He got the ball and I wasnt sure what he was trying to do, but I wasnt going to bite on his pump fake, said former Bucks guard Royal Ivey, who often practiced against Bell last season and also hit two 3s to help spark the Sixers earlier in the quarter. He went straight up but I held my ground and the ref saw there was no contact.Iguodala grabbed his fifth rebound and made two more free throws to finish with 20 points and seal the victory, the Sixers second on the road in their last seven tries.It was a great team victory and a great character victory for us, said DiLeo, whose team has won back-to-back games after beating Houston at home on Tuesday night?and four straight over the Bucks.Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles continues to be frustrated with his teams defensive effort, a major emphasis this season by the new coach that the previous two failed to fix.Weve shot the ball well enough to stay in these games but with so many breakdowns were having a hard time overcoming them, Skiles said. The other night we picked up our defense the last five minutes and a switch went on for us. Tonight we couldnt get it to go on.Jefferson agreed.Philadelphia 76ers' Tony DiLeo reacts to a traveling call during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, in Milwaukee. The 76ers won 110-105.Philadelphia 76ers' Tony DiLeoAP - Jan 7, 11:04 pm ESTI dont think the last few games weve played the type of defense thats allowed us to be where we want to be, he said.Milwaukee lost for just the second time in nine home games. The Bucks again played without center Andrew Bogut, who missed his third straight game because of back spasms.You cant make excuses. They were playing without Elton Brand, Jefferson said. The team that wins the most games when theyre short-handed will be the team that is where they need to be at the end of the season. Related: nba com video5 | |

| Bleach Episodes : Agent of the Shinigami arc - Part 1 of 60Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:43:32 -0800 by siaomaghttp://www.hi-so.inf oBleach (????, Bur?chi?, romanized as BLEACH in Japan) is an ongoing manga series authored by mangaka Tite Kubo. Since its debut in 2001, Bleach has been adapted into an anime series, two OVAs, two anime films, a rock musical, and numerous video games. Compilation volumes of the manga have sold over 39 million copies in Japan.Bleach follows the lives of Ichigo Kurosaki, who is a high school student with the ability to see ghosts, and a shinigami (Soul Reaper or, literally, "death god") named Rukia Kuchiki, who crosses paths with Ichigo while hunting an evil spirit known as a hollow. Rukia is wounded during the ensuing confrontation with the spirit and is left with no choice but to transfer her powers into Ichigo. Thus the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia begin. Together they search for hollows and perform soul burials on wayward souls, cleansing the spirits and sending them to Soul Society. The early parts of the story focus mainly on the characters and their pasts, rather than the actual occupation of the shinigami. As events unfold, the story begins to delve deeper into the world of these gods of death on the "other side" called Soul Society.
