Bless T-Mac!

Although YM got 23pt in the fourth quater and hit the clutch shot, it cannot make me happy. It is because T-Mac got hurt his back in today's game with Wizards. Rocket has very good beginning of this season. All we need is to wait for T-Mac get recovered with 80% degree compared with his status vs Dallas during the playoff at 04-05.

I really like T-Mac this season. He changes his style from scoring to controling the game. His basket IQ is a key for the success of Rocket. With T-Mac and YM, I can spend almost 3 hours every game day. But now it seems Rocket will go to lottery again with this injury, even though YM has very strong performance this season. Let's hope it is just minor injury and nothing is related to old one.

Andre Agassi & NP-complete

I just finished watching a unbelievable tennis game. No match can be better than this one. All the unbelievalbe games have equivalent elements, like all NP-complete problems are equivalent.

The world cup champion predicted by UBS

UBS reports shows Italy would win the champoin. Maybe gamesters should not just read the sports news but also business new.
Many influencing factors
Along with "football fever", the team around
UBS Wealth Management Chief Economist Klaus Wellershoff was interested to find
out what variables are important in predicting World Cup success. In doing so,
they discovered that many things that appear to be obvious are, in fact, not
crucial to winning the World Cup. An example of this would be the size of a
country's population, which is often incorrectly correlated to the amount of
potential athletic talent. The FIFA rankings, which list the top national soccer
teams, also prove to be of limited use when it comes to making a prediction: the
FIFA list compiles the sporting success of the individual teams but assigns
equal value to all wins, no matter how strong the opponent.
