Delonte West is in dire straits

The base of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who last year was diagnosed with severe clinical depression, for which still undergoing treatment, was arrested early last month in Maryland after police stopped him for a traffic violation and make themselves account was carrying three firearms for which they had permits. After being charged and to establish the date of November 20 for trial, Delonte was presented in very good spirits to the initial press conference of his team, saying he would not talk about the incident and that his focus was on basketball and helping bring a championship to Cleveland.

Less than 24 hours after making these assertions, West missed the opening two practices for the Cavaliers on Tuesday and again completely absent in both workouts Wednesday. The coach Mike Brown said the player was absent due to personal problems but that his absences were not excused, it would be fined.

On Thursday, Delonte finally joined his teammates, but he would not meet the press after completion of the work day. The general manager Danny Ferry, also declined to give statements, but a spokesman said the Cavaliers would ferry a press conference on Saturday and clarify all doubts that may exist on the case of West.

If I could be at that conference was one question for you Mr. Ferry: Is Delonte mentally unfit to face the pressures of a season as a member of one team over there are so many expectations and given the recent case of personal problems and erratic behavior?

The NBA referees protects its substitutes

After the first exhibition game, held on Thursday between the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz, as he was concerned about the press that covered the meeting was to listen to the views of participants (coaches and players from both teams) on how well or how badly he had gone to replacement referees on his debut. What was surprising was that all respondents, whether they be George Karl, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Jerry Sloan, Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko had no more than congratulations and words of approval for officers.

Sure, it’s not so surprising if one considers that on Wednesday, a day before the holding of this game, the league sent a memo to the offices of its 30 teams, reminding them that the NBA does not allow public criticism of their judges and that specifically includes substitutes. Mention is made in that letter on sanctions for violating these regulations, ranging from fines to suspensions, as if he wanted to ensure that substitutes do not have to deal with the added pressure of constant criticism attacking replacements during the strike most recent job in 1995. No wonder all were congratulations and praise to the lords of the whistle after the game to Denver and Utah.

From the hand of Galvan

An illegitimate goal, that achieved by Diego Galvan, allowed Arsenal de Sarandi beat Gimnasia La Plata 1-0 in a poor match, which quickly pass into oblivion.

The goal that won the game was born in the 39th minute of complement, with a throw, launched from the right. The ball slammed into the heart of the area, the Paraguayan defender Ruben Maldonado rejected Gymnastics wrong and the ball went to Galvan, who went down with his left arm to get a precise shot right, which sent her to the bottom of the arc.

Overall, it can say that the game was pretty mediocre, as both team lacked players who could make a difference and if there were only four different goal (two for Arsenal and two for Gymnastics) along its development.

It was less bad the first time. Arsenal dominated until the 25th minute and during that time had two situations: a center that Mauro Matos Sergio Sena failed to push the goal, and a Franco Jara shot that crashed against the crossbar.

From the 26th minute onwards was particularly gymnastics. But Wolf was all dizzy and centers, which usually were rejected by local advocates.

In addition to the confusion reigned, both teams alternated in control of the ball and Gymnastics disposed of his chances to score.

In the first Lucas Castro ill defined at the exit of Cristian Campestrini, and second, when the game was 1-0, Maldonado was on hand to throw out.

The party was poised to tie strongly, but fueled by Galván, which went unnoticed only for the referee Patrick Loustau and one of his colleagues, allowed Arsenal to stay with a victory that had done very little.

REC 2, dare to return

In 2007 appeared in theaters a little experiment of Mr. Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza that became not only a blockbuster and a hit and the public, but in the national fantasy film concerning the last times. Its impact was soon getting noticed, buying the rights to make an American remake ( ‘Quarantine’), reaching very high ratings and reviews on most sites devoted to horror and fantasy films, and finally laying the groundwork for what is a new Spanish film, gender-oriented, fun stories to the public. And this, when done with such mastery as in that first ‘REC’, is a very great news.

Two years later we finally have the sequel on screens, ignoring the pleas and cries demanding a script on the streets of Barcelona, to return to the same house and had the same concept as the previous one. The film is essentially the same, although it contains quite a few new features that will delight the amateur and basically shape the way the script moves from the events of the first part. This is what has caused more controversy among those who have enjoyed the film and who have not, but let it for later. You better start from the beginning. ‘REC 2′, or how to re-stick your head in one of the houses of neighbors who have made me stronger heart beat.

The address on ‘REC 2′ is very similar to the first, with all subjective shots recorded from a real camera that takes a character in the movie. However, it includes an important change that brings variety and freshness to the form of roll, which is that there is only one, but four separate chambers (four geos, and are glued to the hull) so you can change the view in every moment to see the events from any of the four points of view, or even two of them simultaneously (could have sworn that at some point in the movie the screen is divided into four parts to see everything, and feared it was sickening, but it just does not happen anything like that)
