"I'd go through the middle - make the ball disappear, switch hands - do something magical with it. The guy who was announcing the game kept calling me a lot of different nicknames, like Houdini or Little Hawk - all kinds of stuff. So I said, if you're going to call me anything, just call me the Doctor." |
-- says Julius Erving on ESPN's SportsCentury show. |
Erving, one of only four players to score 30,000 points as a pro, was voted No. 43 among North American athletes of the 20th century by SportsCentury's distinguished 48-person panel. |
In Game 4 against the Lakers tonight, the promise was finally fulfilled. While at 33 Erving no longer was the main offensive cog on this Philadelphia powerhouse, he still was a significant force. In the final minut |

rustyshell.com: When it was announced that Mr. Iwata would introduce the big Pokemon news in a special “Pokemon Direct”, fans knew it was going to be something special. Two new Pokemon games for 3DS.

Consider this list of newsworthy events: The U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion, the Watergate scandal led to Richard Nixon's resignation, Karol Jozef Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II, Iran took 52 Americans hostage and Jim Jones masterminded the Jonestown massacre. |
Those who lived through that turbulent decade will have no problem identifying it as the 1970s. But decades are also defined by music and fashion trends. The 1970s conjure images of miniskirts, bell-bottoms, platform shoes, bell-sleeved shirts, polyester suits and spandex. |
Musically, the '70s were no less diverse, from disco, funk and new wave to hard rock, country rock and soft rock prevailing. That wide range of musical styles will be the focus of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic's 2012-13 pops season opener. |

7-on-7 football helps tune up teams |
Summer 7-on-7 scrimmages are a little like reality television shows with unscripted situations and events. |
The touch football competition using quarterbacks, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs doesn't reflect the reality of a real football game, but the competitive venues help players to sharpen throws, refine passing routes and polish coverage techniques. |
“This is where everybody gets to see their mistakes,” said Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup. “What we take from here, we take back to school, work on it and fit it for August when practice starts. We can't have the mistakes we have out here when it comes to game time because there is no forgiveness then.” |
Chaparral and Mountain Vista were two of the 64 teams from all classifications that parti |

Castor oil acts as a powerful laxative. While there isn't evidence that it will help kick-start contractions, the idea is that since it will affect your bowels, it will indirectly stimulate your uterus since it lies in close proximity. |
Just keep in mind that this trick is quite unpleasant. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are likely to occur. You also run the risk of becoming dehydrated, so consult your doctor about the risks and consider the side effects before deciding to give it a try. |

Dual-coding theory, a theory of cognition and a information processing model, was hypothesized by Allan Paivio of the University of Western Ontario in 1971. Paivio used the idea that the formation of mental images aids in learning when developing this theory (Reed, 2010). According to Paivio, there are two ways a perso... |

Hi, Sean, the young, mentally disturbed soldier did kill some members of |
the Quebec Legislative Assembly with his army issue sub-machine gun. |
The Sergeant at Arms was a Lt Colonel in WWII. He bravely walked into |
the chamber, persuaded the soldier that he outranked him and got him to |
surrender the weapon. |
The Sgt at Arms received a civilian medal to go with his WWII ones and |
died a few years later. |
The killer was released last year after serving about 13 years. |

I was watching this segment on the "Today Show" the other day and a professor was talking about paying kids for good grades. He gave the example of someone running a school where kids come from tough backgrounds and they aren't reading or motivated. |
He said let's say administrators decided to give cash incentives for good grades. The idea was to pay $2 every time a child read a book and he used third graders as an example. Is this is a good idea? Should schools pay kids for good grades? Check out the video and take the poll after the jump. |
