Japan Earthquake 2012: Strong Quake Shakes New Year's Day Less than a year after Japan was devastated by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the first strong earthquake of 2012 has struck Japan. The strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 shook Japan off the country's coast on Sunday, the first day of the new year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS said the earthquake struck 495 kilometers (307 miles) south-southwest of Tokyo at a depth of 348.5 kilometers (216.6 miles). Because the jolt was so deep, it was less likely to cause damage at the surface than quake last March 11, which caused a tsunami and, ultimately, a nuclear crisis in the country. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/275033/20120101/japan-earthquake-2012-strong-quake-shakes-early.htm

Clippers are in for the rise of their lives http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2011-12/67056521.jpg Yes, there were Griffin slams, including one as he was falling backward after a bounce pass from Paul. Yes, there was CP3 magic, Paul dribbling around forever before driving to the basket and scoring, a one-man shot clock. But there were also Jordan blocks that sailed into the delighted hands of stunned spectators. There were fluttering three-pointers by Williams and Butler and Randy Foye off impossible passes from Paul. It was so crazy, late in the first quarter, after the whistle, Butler casually threw up a halfcourt shot to earn a delay-of-game warning and, yeah, you guessed it. Swish. For the record, the first alley-oop in this place now known as Lob City occurred with 6:03 left in the first quarter when Butler threw up a pass that the left-handed Jordan slammed down with his right hand in such powerful fashion even the big kid ooohed. Of course, amid all this excitement, there are issues. Del Negro has his hands full with a team that seems so intent on making the big play, they forget to do the little things. The Clippers' quest for glitter has sometimes come at the expense of grunt work, as they have been continually beaten inside and thus outrebounded in all three games. Those grand attempts at blocked shots are not great rebounding techniques. They also don't seem to have figured out an offense, as sometimes they simply stand around waiting for somebody to do something spectacular. On Friday, while the Clippers were flying, the Bulls were forcing, leading to a 34-20 advantage in free throws attempted. Then there are potential internal issues. Late in the first quarter, after Williams missed a shot on a fastbreak, Butler shouted to him to "Pass the ball!" The two players exchanged words at the other end of the court, which makes it even more important to address the Williams situation now. After spending the lockout acting as a team leader, Williams is clearly not happy suddenly coming off the bench. He has been feeling so ignored lately, it was perhaps no surprise that during pregame introductions Friday, he was accidentally introduced as the injured Chauncey Billups. The Clippers need to either figure out a way to make him happy here, or trade him for a backup big man. Full Story

^Word up! Really hope Reggie could play soon! We desperatly need a big guy who can hustle and play defense. There was soo much energy in the game at the start. The first half was a great game to watch. The second half the pace went out of the game, and the Clipper game got kinda stagnant. The Bulls always find one of their shooters completely open in the second half. If you leave Deng and Korver open like that, you are in trouble.

The 6-foot-10 power forward finished with 34 points and 13 rebounds. He made his first four field-goal attempts, then missed five straight before heading to the bench for his first breather. He returned to shoot 10-for-16 the rest of the way.
