| Pick ‘n’ roll: Today’s best NBA bets
MVP candidate LeBron James has missed the last game and a half, and the Cavs have played miserably without their leader. James sat out Friday against the Raptors because of a strained index finger but the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the All-Star should be ready for today's match. Even with James the Cavaliers won't be able to pull this one out. The Celtics should make amends for an overtime loss in Cleveland last week with a solid effort in front of their home crowd. Pick: Celtics Portland Trail Blazers at San Antonio Spurs (-15, 188) The Spurs host the Blazers today laying the most points they have all season. San Antonio is off to a great start but Gregg Popovich's club will struggle to cover the inflated spread. Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge continues to take great strides.

The Bank Job

JOB: English-speaking Sales Execs - Stockholm
Swedish researchers set up honey water feeding stations in a massive wind tunnel and used fog, lasers and high speed cameras to track exactly how the bats flew. They found that when the bats flapped their wings downward they created tiny air cyclones above the wings called a leading vortex which pulls the animal upward and allows them to hover in place without expending nearly as much energy as simply flapping their wings. Without this trick they would not have the strength to hover in place in order to feed as the vortex provides as much as 40 percent of the lift force which keeps the bats in the air. The bats used the thumbs and fingers embedded in the skin membrane of their flexible wings much like flaps on an airplane to alter the curve of the wing and create the lift force necessary to hover.

Weekly inquests on the paper were held at their local, the Grapes. Once a month, lineage from stories filed for national papers was divided among the reporters - those on £4 a week found themselves fondling an extra £12.
