UBAL ten, day 82

Very quick day 82 for me as I'm at the airport and there about to call my flight!

Injuries
Rodney Stuckey 5 (Ankle Ligament Tear)
Willis Reed 1 (Rib Muscle Sprain)
Avery Johnson 3 (Nose Broken)
Caldwell Jones 1 (Knee Soreness)



(15-29) PITTSBURGH 27 28 30 28 - 113 (Mike Mitchell 19)
(12-29) NEW YORK 27 22 33 29 - 111 (EddieA Johnson 23)
Pittsburgh are on a roll! Great win away and new boy Mitch Mitchell doesn't disappoint. Was surprised no one snapped up Eddie at the deadline; I wanted him just so I could have two guys on my roster with the same name!

(17-24) DETROIT 22 33 31 26 - 112 (Elvin Hayes 23)
(20-22) CAROLINA 28 17 44 41 - 130 (Artis Gilmore 24)
Carolina edges towards .500 ball on the back of a big home win thanks to a massive second half where Detroit abandoned all premise of playing defence. Gilmore v Hayes was fun.

(32-10) CHICAGO 32 35 31 35 - 133 (Chet Walker 35)
( 4-37) SAN ANTONIO 16 28 32 36 - 112 (JJ Hickson 24)
Chicago beat SA on the road as you'd pretty much expect. Today it was the Jet's time to step up.

(17-26) WASHINGTON 25 20 15 41 - 101 (Dirk Nowitzki 24)
(17-25) VIRGINIA 26 25 25 33 - 109 (Moses Malone 29)
Matching records after Virginia holds on to the lead in a game that didn't seem to start until the 4th. As plenty of stars start to fade, Moses is getting stronger and Virginia is expected to compete again next year.

(28-14) NEW ORLEANS 28 27 21 26 - 102 (Larry Nance 23)
(21-20) PHOENIX 39 21 26 27 - 113 (Jay Vincent 26)
The Suns grab an impressive win over the Jazz and move above .500!

(20-24) MIAMI 44 27 24 27 - 122 (Bailey Howell 30)
(18-24) UTAH 32 31 23 29 - 115 (Tim Duncan 19)
You have to laugh at yourself; for me this seems an all too regular occurrence as the Stars take a step back against some former team-mates as Hakeem rips his former team! Oh well.. Still like the way Duncan fits..

(23-20) ORLANDO 27 18 16 24 - 85 (Vlade Divac 14)
(31-13) HARLEM 30 28 22 37 - 117 (Wilt Chamberlain 26)
Smack down by Harlem over an Orlando team that nearly looks to move to the top and keeps dropping back. No shame in losing to the Rens on the road, but not this badly eh Jim?

(21-21) MINNESOTA 34 15 21 28 - 98 (Kenny Sears 26)
(17-27) ANAHEIM 25 17 23 48 - 113 (David Thompson 33)
...and Minesota falls all the way back to .500, where to from here? Good game by generally high scoring Anaheim and their top man DT.

(27-17) KENTUCKY 34 30 22 24 - 110 (Kareem AbdulJabbar 24)
(30-13) DALLAS 21 31 39 31 - 122 (Bob Pettit 30)
Good matchup but Dallas just wouldn't let up in the second half behind the stellar play of Pettit and Rich Kelley... Kareem couldn't get enough help tonight...

Sorry it's short I'm flying now........

Translating 101: A beginner's guide..

So, here we go on a whole new theme and concept for my blog, the idea here is that I look to bridge the sometimes wide gap between English speaking educationalists and English speaking techno guys.  The issue here is that both have their own language (and several variants) that make the job a little harder than you'd think at first glance.

Let's accept some facts:
Techos speak a different language to everyone else.  It's meant to be different to English and you're not supposed to understand it if you're not in the 'club'.  If you don't know the acronyms then you're not in their club.  They have a verbal 'special' handshake that distinguishes them and puts them on a higher level.  They also bullsh!t at an almost unimaginable level to anyone who doesn't know what they're on about.

Academics and Educationalists speak English the way no-one else does any more.  They don't mean to be hard to understand but just can't seem to help themselves.  One key is that when they encounter a foreign language they replace it with silly words like 'do-dah' and 'watsit'.  Educationalists use academic arguments which basically means they're never wrong (technically).

English itself is not a single language (thank you Microsoft) with regional, national, technical and even educational dialects that can have a massive effect.  Combine this and we've got a mess and surefire problems ahead.

To talk to techos or educationalists requires a skill but bringing them together is a work of art.  Both sides are used to working on a 'higher plane' so you have to approach them deferring to their greater knowledge - but be careful how you do this.  I always let the techos know that I'm not a full-on techo myself, but I understand enough of what they're saying to be able to take it and present it back to them in plain English that makes them know I've got enough of it without having to be given full entrance to the club.  For educationalists they need reassurance that you get what they're waffling about and empathise with them.  As long as you understand what they're trying to achieve you'll go a long way with them.  You also need to let them speak as they are used to hearing their own voices and they give themselves reassurance!

Just for fun here's some rough translations for you to get things started:

Yes (English) = Correct (Academic) = 1 (techo) or an emphatic form of yes: absolutely, definitely

Maybe (E) = it's feasible but not altogether likely (A) = yeah but nah and any other form of yes with shaking head or screwed up face or sign of distress (T)

No (E) = I just don't think there's.... yada yada (A) =  silence  or very long pause and funny facial expressions (T)

Hello (E) = I'm just calling to discsuss... we need to address..  or any other conversational piece neglecting the customary introduction (A) = a slight change in distinguishable expression or a very quiet noise that sometimes sounds like a quick 'hey' (T)

Note here that if techo goes out of their way to say a big hello that your project is in a really bad way!

That's all for this time, looking forward to looking at some language strings (T)/ways in which we can elaborate upon simple prose (A)/sentences next time!
