But that’s precisely what happened last night. The Cavs got LeBron the ball and spread out, letting him go up against the Pistons on his own. And where most other heroes are known for single, clutch plays, James hit shot after shot after shot, regardless of where he was on the floor or who was guarding him.
Brian Windhorst was at the game, and said that;
Never have [I] seen a performance like that from him and never have I seen him be so calm. He wasn’t demonstrative and making all those primal faces, he was just coldly killing the Pistons. It isn’t often you know you are experiencing history at the moment it is happening. It doesn’t matter which team you cover as a journalist or which team you root for as a fan, there was no way you could watch LeBron score 25 straight points and think you weren’t being given a gift of an experience.
If you share my fascination, then allow me to recommend to you strange maps, a blog which collects unusual maps portraying places that are real or exist only in the cartographer’s imagination. A recent posting included this one depicting a “culture wars” battleground: where and how evolution is taught in the U.S.
Meanwhile, Bill Warters at Campus ADR Tech Blog links to “Baghdad: Mapping the Violence,” a BBC News animated map depicting the violence in Baghdad since May 2003 when the U.S. declared the end to major combat operations.

World Directory of ADR Blogs adds its first Belgian mediation blog
First Belgian mediation blog!Important correction! Online Guide to Mediation and the World Directory of ADR Blogs nearly caused an international incident! I had originally reported that the World Directory had added its first French blog. In fact, it is it’s first Belgian blog. Mon dieu! Une erreur très embarrassante! Fortunately the blogger, mediator Dominique Foucart, charmingly and most graciously pointed out this regretful faux pas. I appreciate his understanding and hasten to correct my error here.
The deadly accuracy and consistency combined with the cold, calculating intensity that LeBron exibited makes him a dangerous player, even more so than he was before. He’s carried the Cavs on his shoulders, and shows no signs of stumbling.
For a recap of LeBron’s final 25 points, click here.

It’s exciting in any event to announce now not just one but two firsts for the Directory: its first French language blog and its first Belgian blog. Even better! Merci beaucoup, Dominique!
I am delighted to announce that the World Directory of Alternative Dispute Resolution Blogs, my ongoing global blog project, has added its first Belgian blog.
Le journal d’un démarieur is published by Dominique Foucart, a mediator in family, civil, and commercial disputes. The goal of this blog, whose tag line is “Divorcer n’est jamais simple… la médiation peut vous aider,” is to share experiences in and reflections on family mediation practice, as well as to spread awareness of the benefits of mediation as a meaningful alternative to court.
Bienvenue to the ADR blogosphere to Dominique.
If you wish to add your blog or someone else’s to the World Directory of ADR Blogs, please let me know. It’s a commercial-free site, and there is no cost to be listed. I am especially interested in leads on ADR blogs outside the U.S. and Canada. If you know of any, I hope you’ll get in touch. The Directory has information on submitting your blog and submission guidelines.
Many thanks to to my friend Christoph Stroyer, a mediator, attorney, and blogger in Germany, for letting me know about this new blog.

More Knob Hockey
It’s another Knob Hockey crank call, this time victimizing Toronto’s Bryan McCabe:
With Ottawa down 2-0 in the series, I’m wondering how the tone of the next batch of spots might turn out. Stay tuned.
