The Braves swept 2 from the Mets yesterday (4-2 and 4-0) to climb to 6-8 (ouch).
The NBA playoffs started finally (regular season is way to damn long) and Rose showed why he's MVP material in leading a 10 point comeback for the Bulls (104-99) over Indiana. The Hawks took down Dwight Howard and the Magic 103-93 behind Joe Johnson's 25 and Jamal Crawford's 23. The old guys (Nowitzki and Kidd) for Dallas showed they still got some hops as they took out Portland in game 1 (89-81) and finally the 76'ers are still not quite there, but getting closer as they started strong against the Miami Heat, but faded as James, Wade and company turned up the defense and put it away (97-89).
Sarah Palin spoke at a tax day Tea Party rally in Madison, WI (home of the fleabaggers) as she tried to explain to the unions that without Walker as Gov, quite a few of them would be home without a job. Breitbart had some special things to say to quite a few of them himself [heh].
And the search can finally begin for survivors from the mega-storms that swept through the southeast yesterday and Friday. Here in North Alabama, it was brutal with the rain and wind, but at least we didn't get the tornadoes that other parts of the area got. Prayers and thoughts go out to the loved ones of the dead and missing.

UN 'predictions'
With all the talk Aaron provided over at Patterico's about the UN worm-holing data that proved to be wrong, there are other things they have been wrong on too :)
Of course that was 'long ago' in climate terms. Now the goal posts have moved, because of Qat and not population no less...Among many problem sites, Sana'a, Yemen's capital, has doubled its population on average every six years since 1972 and now stands at 900,000 people. The aquifer on which the city depends is falling by six meters (20 feet) a year, and may be exhausted by 2010, according to the World Bank.(link)
Sana'a
According to water experts, more than four thousand wells in Sana’a have been specifically dug for the sole purpose of irrigating Qat fields, which has led to a lower water levels of an average of three to six meters a year. Experts warn of drought within the Sana’a area by 2015.(link)So in a few years (4) we'll have more experts to tell us why Yemen's capital is running out of water, if it indeed ever does.

Charles Oakley, one of the NBA's all-time tough guys, doesn't want to talk about his excruciating back pain.
Coaching in the NBA Can Be a Dangerous Job
Kyrie Irving's jump to the NBA after one season at Duke had more to do with his dream than his toe. The point guard said Thursday the toe injury that robbed him of 3 1/2 months of his only year in college "wasn't a big factor" in his decision. "I wouldn't have come back during the NCAA tournament when I did if I was worried about re-injuring my toe.
Irving: NBA decision hinged on dream, not toe
Rondo, Pierce, and Garnett pace Celtics Rajon Rondo had 20 points and 14 assists to lead the host Boston Celtics to a 104-88 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

Durham police say 32-year-old Crystal Mangum was arrested Sunday morning several hours after the stabbing that seriously injured her 46-year-old boyfriend.I guess she just wasn't ready to let the limelight go... of course at one point, many people thought this stupid @#$@ was credible... with no evidence she ruined 4 young mens lives; and now she tried to end her boyfriends.
Of course, she'll get probation and some community service, but that's the benefits of being a useful idiot.
